Still Empowering Women, Local Gym Changes Ownership 

By Katie Moritz 

Marcy Rochford, the owner 

of the Gym For Women in 

Barre City, and her daughter, 

Sami Rochford, are preparing 

for change. Decked out in athletic 

attire, both ladies sit side by side on 

workout equipment. Sami, who is 

twenty-three, will be taking over her 

mother’s fifteen-year business. The 

excitement from both women is palpable. 

“This is a wonderful business to 

be in,” Marcy explains as she sits 

back in the seat of the resistant 

weight machine and stares off for a 

moment. “It’s so rewarding. You get 

to be a part of people’s health. You see them reaching their 

goals. It’s a rewarding job.” She looks over at her daughter 

and smiles. “This is a great opportunity for her.” 

The Gym For Women, originally a Ladies Workout 

Express, opened in 2002 and remained as such for ten years. 

When Marcy first started, the main floor, which was all they 

had in terms of space, was a circuit. Two years later, they 

expanded, taking over downstairs. They installed more equipment, 

cardio machine, as well as tanning beds and a sauna. 

Over time, the Gym For Women continued to expand, adding 

classes, trainers, free-weights, and resistant bands. 

And in 2012, Marcy decided not to renew the franchise 

agreement and go independent. She changed the name and 

the look and bought all new gym equipment. She also decided 

to keep it a ladies-only gym. 

There are not a lot of gyms in the area. Aside from Gym for 

Women, Granite City Fitness, which is all classes, and 

Jazzercise have been around for a while. 

Marcy nods as she explains, “we all support each other.” 

Until Planet Fitness opened in the Berlin Mall, the Gym for 

Women had the lowest rates around for a full-service gym. 

“We’ve had a lot of members who asked to be put on freeze 

to try it. For 10$... we can’t compete with that.” 

Marcy and Sami seem undeterred as they lean forward and 

enthusiastically. Marcy: “We are small, which is not a bad 

thing. We’re there. We see you and we interact with you and 

we know your name. We become like,” She pauses for a 

moment and looks over at her daughter and both complete the 

sentence at the same time, laughing: 

“Family.” 

Marcy continues: “The nice thing about this community is 

that there are a lot of small locally owned business. And it’s 

really important now, more than ever, as big box stores come 

into town, that people continue to support the local business 

downtown and in surrounding areas.” 

She talks fast and her passion is obvious; there is a glisten 

in her eyes. She pauses for a moment. 

“We can’t stay in business unless the community helps 

us.” 

Both Marcy and Sami are confident that they will gain 

new members and that their previous members will return 

from Planet Fitness for several reasons. Aside from being a 

small family-run business, it remains a women-only gym. 

Marcy laughs as she explains, “We’re all in the same boat. 

We’ve all fought the battle of the bulge at some point.” 

She speaks from personal experience. When she first

opened her gym, she heavier 

than she wanted to be. Not 

only has she lost that weight, 

but she has kept it off. 

“This place has given me 

my health back.” 

It’s given Marcy and her 

family more than that though. 

It allowed her to have control 

over her own life. “It’s been a 

lot of fun for me over the 

years. But I worked hard. And 

it gave me a lot of flexibility 

to go to my kids’ games or 

take them to doctor appointments.” 

When Marcy first started 

out as a business owner, she had other gyms throughout 

Vermont. But Barre was her first and, over the years, the 

most successful despite the economic difficulties of the 

area. After going through a divorce with young children, 

she decided to downsize and focus solely on the gym in 

Barre and her family. 

“It’s been the best thing I’ve ever done.” 

But it is time for a change. And change, in this case, is 

good. Marcy moved to New Hampshire in November and in 

September she is getting married. 

She is thrilled that the next generation of her family is taking 

over. 

Her daughter Sam basically grew up in the gym since she 

was seven-years-old. Sami, like her mother, wants to keep 

the same over-arching message: start a safe fitness routine 

young and do that in a place free of judgement. They encourage 

members to wear whatever they want, and remind them 

that they too have all been though challenges. 

They are, as a women-only gym, there to support each 

other. Whether one is new to fitness, or a hoping to get back 

into it after many years, Sami, as the new owner, will be 

there to ensure the environment is conducive to growth and 

encouragement. 

Towards the end of the conversation, Marcy stops talking 

and a silence, except for the background pulsing of a peppy 

pop song, settles over the gym. Sami whispers “she’s going 

to cry.” 

“I just want to add,” Marcy starts, before her throat catches, 

“that this has been really, really good for me. Not many 

people can say they enjoy going to work. I mean, really enjoy 

it. And I have. As a mom, and as a business owner, I couldn’t 

be more happy and more proud that Sami is taking over.” 

She looks over at her daughter, who, although smiling, is 

also wipes away tears. 

“I’m excited for what she will bring to this community. 

Fifteen years is a long time. I also want to thank all our members 

for your constant support. Without you, we wouldn’t be 

here. I hope the community continues to support locally 

owned businesses. Lastly, I want to thank our wonderful team 

of women who work at The Gym, especially my long-time 

friend and co-hort, Carol LeClair. It wouldn’t have been 

nearly as much fun without you. 

We’ve had our ups and downs, but we’ve always come 

back. And I think the gym is important for the women in this 

community.” 

To be the best, it takes more 

than just the training and 

expertise to diagnose and 

treat patients. It takes heart. 

Providing quality healthcare 

in a community setting is what 

it’s all about, and we take 

pride in making our patients 

and their families feel at ease. 

We’re committed to providing 

the care, the service and the 

respect you deserve.

DEBIT 

Central Vermont’s First Repair Café to 

Take Place January 20 

Everybody has that one broken item that’s 

been sitting around in the hopes that one day it 

may get fixed. Here is an opportunity to do just 

that. The Central Vermont Solid Waste 

Management District (CVSWMD) and Onion 

River Exchange (ORE) are hosting central 

Vermont’s first Repair Café on January 20 

from 12-4 pm at the Universalist Church, 19 

Church Street, in Barre. This event is free to 

the public. 

Bring a broken item to be fixed by one of 

the skilled volunteer “fixperts” who have 

repair skills in a variety of fields, including: 

hand and machine sewing (clothing, textiles, 

and other fabric), gluing (ceramics, wires, 

wooden objects, fabrics), zipper replacement, 

computer, computer peripherals, and electronics, 

electrical repair, sharpening (knives and 

tools), small appliance repair, toys, small furniture, 

woodworking, and household items. 

We encourage participants to ask questions 

and engage in the repair. You may learn a thing 

or two and even want to start repairing things 

yourself. 

If planning to attend, prepare as much as 

possible ahead of time. If you notice any parts 

that may be needed to conduct the repair, please 

bring them. If there is a repair manual or 

instructions online to aid in the repair, bring that 

too. This will help to ensure that our fixperts are 

able to repair as many items as possible. 

Repair Cafés are a fun way to get things 

fixed while engaging in the art of repair.

waste by opting to reuse rather than throw 

away. Repair Cafés also provide a space for 

sharing practical repair knowledge while getting 

to know your neighbors. 

Participants will be allowed to have one 

item fixed at a time. Those who bring more 

than one item, will need to return to the end of 

the line for each successive item. A greeter will 

be on-hand to match each repair with the 

appropriate volunteer fixer. Also, the café features 

a “carry it in, carry it out” policy; if 

something is unable to be fixed during the 

event, participants who brought them are 

responsible for taking them when they leave. 

We encourage participants to get involved in 

the repair; ask questions, observe the action, 

and soak up some new knowledge. 

While waiting to get an item fixed, peruse 

the resource table featuring books and information 

about repairing. True to its name, there 

will be a small café area with light refreshments 

available. The goal is to create a fun 

community event where people can get to 

know one another, share some knowledge, and 

get something fixed.

Cold Weather Safety for Pets 

By Erin Forbes, DVM 

Vermont Veterinary Medical Association 

Winter has come to Vermont and this means 

colder weather, snow, and ice. And importantly, 

winter’s cold means potential dangers for 

our pets. Pets are susceptible to the cold, just 

like people. Some pets are more at risk if they 

have certain medical conditions, less body fat, 

or shorter coats. Fortunately, there are many 

things you can do to help make winter enjoyable 

for everyone. 

If possible, keep your cats and dogs inside 

during cold weather: It is a common misconception 

that pets are more resistant to the cold 

because they have fur. Cats and dogs can get 

frostbitten, become hypothermic, and get seriously 

ill if they are outside for too long. Even 

dogs with thicker coats, such as Huskies, 

should not be left outside for long periods of 

time in below freezing weather. 

If you are not able to house your dog inside, 

make sure they have the right resources outside: 

your pets should have access to a warm 

solid shelter and fresh, non frozen water 

(either change water frequently or use a petsafe 

heated bowl). The shelter floor should be 

off the ground and have thick, dry bedding: 

this helps keep the pet warm and dry. The 

shelter’s door should be located away from 

prevailing winds. 

• • • 

Be mindful before starting your engine: 

When you are getting ready to leave in the 

morning, always look underneath your car and 

bang on the hood. Warm engines are very 

appealing to outdoor and feral cats, so making 

noise will make sure any cats who may have 

taken shelter under your car will abandon their 

temporary bed. 

Keep them Wagging on Your Winter Walks: 

When you take your dog for a walk check their 

paws frequently and wipe their feet at the end 

of the walk. If you check your dog’s paw pads, 

you will catch weather injury right away--paw 

pads can crack and bleed or ice can accumulate 

between their toes. If your dog seems to routinely 

have issues with his or her paw pads 

consider getting dog boots for them to wear. 

Practice Post-Walk Health: When out for a 

walk, your dog may acquire antifreeze or other 

dangerous chemicals on their fur so make sure 

to wipe your dog down when you return from 

a walk. 

Be mindful of older pets: If your pet seems 

to slow down in the winter, they may have 

arthritis. Colder weather can exacerbate the 

pain of arthritis and you may see your pet less 

willing to go on a walk, not able to jump as 

well as they used to, or seeking more comfortable 

bedding. If you see the signs, or are concerned 

at all, speak to your veterinarian.’

Light and Shadows 

“The subject of my painting is the never-ending game of light 

and shadows: they reveal forms and materials, all the individual 

expressions. People or building’s characters. Some 

modernist could object: “Why painting old-fashion like this?” 

I would answer that the light of every century is different. At 

the time of Renaissance the light was different. I am a man of 

my time. I paint what I see.” Exhibit through February 28,

Dear Editor: 

On the last Sunday of every month, volunteers from Beth 

Jacob Synagogue serve a dinner at Bethany United Church. 

This free dinner is open to the community, primarily serving 

people who need a nutritious warm meal. This month, the dinner 

fell on a chilly New Year’s Eve. Because of the holiday, 

there were few volunteers available to cook, serve, and host 

the meal. Rather than cancel, we reached out to local businesses 

for help. 

Our heartfelt thanks to Sarducci’s, Positive Pie, Dominos, 

and Blue Stone for their generous donations. Having a pizza 

dinner on New Year’s Eve was a special treat for our guests 

and greatly appreciated by all. 

Please support these generous businesses that care about 

and strengthen our community.

We Must Address 

This 

Public Health 

Concern 

Dear Editor: 

Lyme Disease has spread 

at an alarming rate in Vermont 

and continues to grow. 

According to the Vermont 

Department of Health, in 

2015, Vermont had the highest 

rate of reported Lyme 

Disease in the United States. 

Currently, according to the 

CDC, Vermont is listed #1 in 

the country for confirmed 

cases of Lyme and is designated 

as an “Endemic State”. 

In a study done by Doctor 

Marie J. George of the 

Infectious Disease 

Department at Southwestern 

Vermont Medical Center, 

upwards of 63 percent of 

ticks are infected statewide 

with at least one tick borne 

illness, with some carrying 

two at the same time. 

Ticks and Lyme Disease 

are an enormous public health 

concern that must be 

addressed immediately. An 

efficient and cost effective 

solution is to work with 

Mother Nature rather than 

against. That means stopping 

the recreational and commercial 

killing of foxes , who are 

the main predator of whitefooted 

mice who are a major 

transmitter of Lyme Disease. 

Research studies show that 

there is a link between the 

increase of mice populations 

and activity and the decline 

of predators that hunt mice, 

such as foxes. Mice infect up to 95 percent of ticks that feed 

on them and are responsible for infecting the majority of ticks 

carrying Lyme Disease in the Northeast. If a moratorium is 

placed on the recreational/commercial killing of foxes in 

Vermont, there is a likelihood we will see a decline in the 

spread of Lyme Disease and other tick borne illnesses. When 

there are more foxes on the landscape preying on mice this 

results in fewer mice transmitting Lyme Disease. 

It also must be noted that hundreds of foxes are likely killed 

each year in Vermont, yet the VT Fish & Wildlife Department 

has inadequate data on this since little to no reporting is 

required. The Department also lacks data on population trends 

of foxes, which means they cannot give an accurate estimate 

if fox populations are healthy and thriving. These animals are 

viewed as throwaways and I would like to see more value 

placed on them for the vital role they play in our ecosystems. 

This safe and sensible policy of halting the sport killing of 

foxes may have tremendous and lifesaving results for the 

health and safety for Vermont residents. 

The health benefits of establishing a moratorium on the 

sport killing of foxes to the entire population of Vermont far 

outweigh any recreational benefits experienced by a small 

fraction of Vermonters who kill them. No one can equate the 

paltry price of a fox pelt to the cost of bearing Lyme Disease 

or other tick borne illnesses. Taking a modest, evidencedbased 

step to combat the rapidly growing rate of tick borne 

diseases is well worth the time and effort of the Vermont Fish 

& Wildlife Board to consider.

Guest Opinion: 

Beginning Farmers Stand to Benefit 

from Proposed Act 

By Anna Johnson 

Center for Rural Affairs 

The average age of today’s farmer is 58 years old. Over the 

course of the next five years (the duration of the next farm 

bill), nearly 100 million acres of farmland are predicted to 

change hands. 

Some retiring farmers and ranchers will pass their land and 

operations to their children or other relatives, however, many 

are heading toward retirement without a succession plan in 

place. 

Today’s beginning farmers juggle a great deal in raising and 

marketing crops and livestock. We need to support policies 

that ensure they have the necessary tools and resources to be 

successful. 

In November, congressional lawmakers introduced the 

Beginning Farmer and Rancher Opportunity Act to ensure the 

2018 farm bill focuses on the future of American agriculture. 

The bill provides for programs and policies that would create 

opportunities for the next generation of farmers and ranchers. 

The bill expands beginning farmer and rancher access to 

affordable land; empowers producers with the skills needed to 

succeed in today’s agricultural economy; ensures equitable 

access to financial capital and federal crop insurance; and 

encourages commitment to conservation and land stewardship. 

We stand with congressional sponsors of this legislation 

in supporting beginning farmers and ranchers. The Beginning 

Farmer and Rancher Opportunity Act should be included in 

the 2018 farm bill.

It’s a Tad Chilly for Me 

By G. E. Shuman 

So, recently my 

brother Steve, 

who lives in 

Florida and I were 

having a bit of a ‘climate’ 

contest, which 

went on for a few days. The contest 

went like this: Steve would text me a 

picture of his outdoor thermometer, and 

I would answer back with a picture of 

mine. Or, he would text with a comment 

on the weather down there, and I would 

answer with one about how things were 

here. One of Steve’s pics was accompanied 

by a note of “I think I can… I think 

I can…” as the needle slowly climbed to 

fifty degrees (I love my brother, I just 

hate his thermometer). 

In reality, my brother doesn’t brag, 

and seemed very concerned for us when 

I sent the picture of our weather situation 

with the big numerals showing -20 

degrees. Yes, if you don’t live around 

here, that was MINUS twenty degrees. 

What fun. 

Our texting soon stopped, and I had to 

go outside and try to start up my stupid snow blower anyway. 

Steve likely went out to check on his posies or something. I 

suppose I need to watch my adjectives. There really can’t be 

anything particularly stupid about a snow blower. I like mine 

because it works, and I hate it because it only works if I’m out 

there with it, like it gets lonely or something. Maybe that’s the 

part that’s stupid. We have remote controls for everything in 

our country, from turning on the AC in the summer to starting 

the car in the winter. And Elon Musk can land a rocket back 

on the launch pad without even touching it (oh yes, that’s also 

in Florida). Still, why can’t my snow blower simply run itself 

up and down the driveway without me? I would be happy to

An interesting topic for a show, don’t 

you think? Pat McDonald and Ben 

Kinsley, co-produce and co-host a TV 

show called Vote for Vermont. On a recent 

show they interviewed Dan Barlow, public 

policy manager for Vermont Business for 

Social Responsibility (VBSR). He represents 

VBSR at the statehouse lobbying on such topics 

as health care reform, clean energy, and 

employment issues. He was also an awardwinning 

journalist. But in his off hours he is 

the co-founder of Green Mountain Graveyards, 

a photographer and researcher devoted to telling stories about 

Vermont cemeteries. This year Dan was among the 40 most 

accomplished young leaders in Vermont who were recognized 

by Vermont Business Magazine as a Rising Star for their commitment 

to business growth, professional excellence and their 

communities. 

VBSR’s goal is to advance business ethics that value multiple 

bottom lines to include the economy, social issues and 

the environment. VBSR has over 700 members representing a 

wide variety of businesses from entrepreneurs and LLCs to 

major corporations. Because their members run the gamut, 

each has its own interests and concerns. VBSR tried to find 

the common denominator that they can all agree on and work 

together to make an impact on their employees and business. 

– such as child care or health care. VBSR believes businesses 

have as much responsibility to workers, communities and the 

environment as they do to being financially successful. VBSR 

works hard to find the balance of these two objectives as 

opposed to making it an either/or proposition. 

Asked which companies demonstrate a strong balance 

between the environment and business, Dan mentioned the 

Alchemist for their work with clean water; Black River 

Produce for their work with the Farm to Plate initiative; and 

Seventh Generation for their work with energy and the environment. 

With regard to the economy, VBSR runs the Vermont intern 

program, matching businesses with recent college graduates 

and they publish the Buy Local First Vermont Coupon Book 

as a great way to highlight strictly Vermont businesses. The 

Book includes over $3,000 in coupons to more than 250 

locally owned and independent Vermont businesses. During 

the legislative session, Dan works as a lobbyist but when the 

legislature is not in session, Dan provides workshops on 

changes in legislation to members and works with individual 

members to help them be in compliance with new laws and 

regulations. 

One topic of importance to VBSR is the continuing issue of 

the Independent Contractors. Dan notes that the existing test 

(referred to as the ABC test through the Department of Labor) 

has not kept up with the changing economics. VBSR is supporting 

using the Federal test which provides a set of criteria 

where no single factor is decisive in determining a worker’s 

status. Dan commented that if Vermont is so focused on entrepreneurs, 

it makes sense to support the 

Independent Contractor designation to foster 

the sole proprietor model. VBSR would also 

like to see a common test for both unemployment 

and workers compensation to provide 

consistency and predictability in the system. 

One of VBSR’s frustrations as with many 

Vermonters is the condition of Lake Champlain 

and Vermont’s waters and why it is taking so 

many years to develop and implement a plan 

to clean up the Lake and our waters. VBSR 

realizes the economic impact the Lake has on 

Vermont and how important clean water is to the State. Dan 

noted that the solution is to identify a stable financial mechanism 

and a plan to address the issues. 

Dan noted one of the outstanding successes from last session 

was the Public Retirement Study Committee, chaired by 

the State Treasurer, to recommend the establishment of a 

state-wide public retirement plan. The benefit to employees of 

non-profits and small-businesses who can’t afford to provide 

a retirement plan is immeasurable to provide security in 

retirement. 

Looking ahead, VBSR will be focused on the impact of the 

opiod crisis on employees and businesses. Dan reminded us 

that everyone is impacted on some level and we should all be 

concerned. 

And now the conversation shifted to graveyards and Dan’s 

fascination with their history and use of symbols to explain 

how they reflect the lives of the deceased and their religious 

beliefs. Dan told many stories about such notables as Col. 

James Fisk, Jr. known as “Big Jim” who was murdered and 

buried in Bennington. He talked about how the finality of 

death softened over the years from the use of a skull with 

wings to the use of a cherub with wings. One of the more 

comical stories Dan told was about a stone in Calais that has 

a can of Budweiser etched on it with a built-in beer cozy to 

place your beer while you a visiting. Dan estimated that there 

are about 2,000 private and public cemeteries across the State. 

You can see all of Dan’s pictures and read his stories and 

results of his research by going to greenmountaingraveyards. 

com. Dan works on this project in partnership with Scott Baer, 

an artist from Montpelier. 

Note: Lots of other issues were discussed with Dan. If you

watch it from the kitchen window (there 

is no justice, other than in the picture 

my daughter just sent me of a snowcovered 

palm tree). 

Those of us up here in the Arctic 

reaches of New England all know it has 

been just a tad chilly of late. Yes, we are 

supposed to be tough up here, and yes, 

I still see delivery people wearing 

shorts, even as their knees are probably 

knocking together, but, personally, I’m 

getting somewhat tired of being cold. It 

could be just me, but lately I have felt a 

real chill when the sun goes down, and 

find myself in a recliner covered with a 

comforter on many of those dark evenings. 

It helps a lot that it gets dark 

shortly after lunchtime around here 

lately. 

I do have the privilege of spending 

many evenings with my eighteenmonth-old 

granddaughter, Nahla. She 

comes over to babysit me quite a bit. 

Nahla also seems to like cuddling up on 

the couch with that old comforter and 

older Papa, just as much as old Papa 

does (I also sneak some of her snacks of popcorn or Cheeriosshe 

doesn’t seem to mind). We watch her favorite toddlerappropriate 

TV show, (it’s something we both can relate to) 

and both of us usually fall asleep as she listens to the music 

and I listen to the furnace gulping down fuel in the cellar. 

Fellow New Englanders, winter has really just begun, and 

if you’re like me, you probably didn’t like my reminding you 

of that fact (I wish I would be quiet). Still, I do intend to make 

the best of it. God has blessed me with a big old sturdy house 

to take shelter in, and a beautiful child to share the comforter 

and the Cheerios with. What more could anyone ask for?

With support from the Salvation Army, the Star 92.9 radio group, 

Shearer Chevrolet Buick GMC Cadillac, and Lenny’s Shoe & 

Apparel, our community helped make the holidays brighter for over 

1,000 local children through the Christmas is for Kids Angel Tag 

Program. 

Over One Thousand Local 

Children Receive Holiday Cheer 

The holiday season shined brightly 

for hundreds of local children as the 

generous community made their 

Christmas wishes come true. 

The Salvation Army teamed up 

with the Star 92.9 radio group, 

Shearer Chevrolet Buick GMC 

Cadillac, and Lenny’s Shoe & 

Apparel for the annual Christmas is 

for Kids holiday gift drive. Through 

the month of December, the radio 

group shared the Christmas wish lists of local children live on 

the airwaves. The community reacted by fulfilling Angel Tag 

wish lists and dropping gift donations off at Lenny’s Shoe & 

Apparel. 

“I am in awe at the number of gifts that came through our 

doors,” said Amanda Cashin, Marketing Director at Lenny’s 

Shoe & Apparel. “The Salvation Army came to our four stores 

multiple times a week and filled their box trucks with the 

donated presents. It feels wonderful to be a part of this massive 

holiday donation effort that made the holidays a happy 

one for hundreds of kids this Christmas.” 

This was the 5th year of the Christmas is for Kids program. 

This year, over 1,000 children received Christmas gifts 

through the Angel Tag program in Chittenden, Washington 

and Franklin counties in Vermont and Clinton County New 

York. 

“We were overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from 

our listeners and the community in helping make this year’s 

Christmas is for Kids campaign the most successful in the 

history of our Angel Tag sponsorship with the Salvation 

Army, said JoAnn Cyr, General Sales Manager, Vox AM/FM 

Radio Group. “The new partnership this year with Lenny’s 

Shoe and Apparel made it much easier for gift drop-offs and 

directly contributed to a much higher turnout for Angel Tag 

participation this year. We couldn’t be happier!” 

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) 

Guess what, Lamb? You’re about 

to experience a new perspective 

on a situation you long regarded 

quite differently. What you learn 

could open more opportunities 

later. 

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The Bold Bovine is tempted to 

charge into a new venture. But it might be best to take things one 

step at a time, so that you know just where you are at any given 

point. 

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) It’s a good time to go on that fun 

getaway you’ve been planning. You’ll return refreshed, ready and, 

yes, even eager to tackle the new challenge that awaits you. 

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The Moon Child loves to fantasize 

about magical happenings in the early part of the week. But the 

sensible Crab gets down to serious business by week’s end. 

LEO (July 23 to August 22) What goes around comes around for 

those lucky Leos and Leonas whose acts of generosity could be 

repaid with opportunities to expand into new and exciting areas 

of interest. 

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your concern about your 

job responsibilities is commendable. But you need to take some 

quiet time to share with someone who has really missed being 

with you. 

LIBRA LAST (September WEEK 23 to OF October THE 22) Aspects favor getting out 

and meeting new people. And as a bonus, you might find that 

some 

MONTH: 

of your newly made friends could offer important business 

contacts. 

SCORPIO (October 

LUCKY 

23 to November 

WINNING 

21) You 

COUPLE 

might take pride in 

wanting to do everything FOR yourself. THIS But MONTH: now’s a good time to ask 

family members On DECEMBER to help with 31, a demanding DEAN & TINA personal GALLISON situation. 

SAGITTARIUS of WORCESTER (November celebrate 22 to December their 12th 21) ANNIVERSARY! 

Pay more attention 

to the possibilities in that workplace change. It could show 

the way to make that long-sought turn on your career path. 

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Your need to succeed 

might overwhelm obligations to your loved ones. Ease up 

on that workload and into some well-deserved time with family 

and friends. 

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Love rules for amorous 

Aquarians who can make good use of their ability to communicate 

feelings. Don’t be surprised if they’re reciprocated in kind. 

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Fishing for compliments? No 

doubt, you probably earned them. But it’s best to let others believe 

they were the ones who uncovered the treasure you really are. 

BORN THIS WEEK: Your good works flow from an open, generous 

heart. Nothing makes you happier than to see others happy 

as well.

SPRING BRIDES | THE CEREMONY 

An Intimate Affair 

A 

small, intimate wedding has loads of romance to it — as well as many other 

advantages. While the large wedding has become a staple of contemporary 

American culture, the small wedding is making a comeback, and for good reason. 

Before you set your final 

budget and guest list, consider 

the following motivations for 

staying small. 

GET MARRIED 

WHERE YOU WANT 

Think of all the gorgeous 

venues you could either price 

yourself out of, or not be able 

to fit into due to the size of 

your party. Keeping your guest 

list small gives you more 

options. 

It also opens up venues that 

don’t traditionally host weddings 

— or charge “wedding 

prices.” Think of places such as 

an art museum, a zoo or a 

greenhouse. 

SPEND MORE QUALITY 

TIME WITH GUESTS 

An intimate wedding typically 

has less than 75 guests, 

which means you will have a 

lot more time to spend with 

each person. 

Walk around to each table 

and personally thank people 

for coming. Depending on the 

size of your party, consider 

seating everyone at one long 

table — creating an intimate 

dinner party atmosphere. 


DO MORE WITH 

YOUR MONEY 

Small weddings can cost less, 

saving you thousands. 

Alternatively, you could spend 

the same amount as you would 

have set aside for a larger affair 

and splurge on the luxurious 

extras you want most. 

A smaller wedding can be a 

way for you to ensure your 

guests have a night they will 

always remember, and that you 

have the wedding you always 

dreamed about. 

PUT YOUR MONEY 

TOWARD YOUR FUTURE 

Your wedding day is a magical 

day and will most likely 

always hold a distinct place in 

your heart. But remember, it is 

just one day. 

Hosting a smaller wedding 

means you are free to put additional 

money toward future 

goals, such as putting a down 

payment on a house or saving 

to start a family. Remember, 

your lives together are just 

beginning.

SPRING BRIDES | ATTIRE 

Choosing Bridesmaids Dresses 

Nothing can cause 

more drama than 

choosing bridesmaids 

dresses — especially if you 

have a large bridal party 

or opinionated attendants. 

The smart bride understands 

that this aspect of her wedding is 

less about her and more about her 

maids. 

HAVE KEY INFO IN HAND 

You should know your wedding 

colors and have your venue 

booked and your own gown 

ordered. All of these items will 

impact the style and hue of the 

gowns you choose. 

Will you be choosing the gown 

or have you decided to allow your 

maids to choose their own (with 

your final approval, of course)? Do 

you want your maids in the same 

style? 

Will they be wearing various colors 

or hues of the same color? 

Know the answers to each of these 

questions before stepping foot 

inside a bridal salon. 


START WITH PICTURES 

Look through many photos 

before you begin shopping. Also 

keep in mind, as much as you love 

them, your friends are not models 

(unless they are) — so what you 

see in photos will look different in 

person and on each individual person. 

CONSIDER THE COST 

Not everyone is going to have the 

same budget, and a compassionate 

bride-to-be will be mindful of this. 

Unless you are picking up the tab, 

don’t choose a pricey gown. Not 

everyone views your wedding as 

the investment you see it as. 

BE FLEXIBLE 

This applies both to your expectations 

of the dress and your 

maids. Keep in mind that the color 

you see in a magazine might be 

slightly different in person. 

Be flexible in terms of what is 

will look good on different skin 

tones. Remember, as much as you 

might love a color, above all, you 

want everyone to look their best. 

ORDER AT THE RIGHT TIME 

Many dresses require one to 

three months to ship, so be sure to 

allow for this. After the dresses 

arrive, you also will need time for 

your maids to pick them up 

(unless they are being shipped 

directly) and for the gowns to be 

altered. 

So don’t wait too long before 

checking this item off the bridal 

to-do list. 

We offer an 

exquisite collection 

of diamond wedding 

rings and matching 

wedding 

bands for 

the bride 

& groom.

Affordable bachelor and 

bachelorette party ideas 

T 

aking 

into account gifts, wardrobes, makeup, bridal 

showers, and travel, including getting to and from the 

bachelor/bachelorette party, bridal party members are 

on the hook for a lot of money when their friends or family 

members tie the knot. Many men and women like to travel for 

their bachelor/bachelorette parties, and cost-conscious bridal 

party members may be concerned about how expensive such 

parties can be. 

Taking steps to control costs can help cost-conscious 

couples and their friends. The following are some affordable 

ideas that can be fun for all involved. 

• Bar or winery crawl: Partygoers typically want to enjoy a 

night out on the town, and traveling from one establishment 

to another can be a fun way to do just that. Everyone invited 

can set themselves apart with a signature item (hat, T-shirt, or 

colored clothing), and make the rounds. 

• Attend a group event: Group events include sporting 

events, concerts, theater shows, or a night at a comedy club. 

Investigate discounted tickets for large groups. 

• Belt out the tunes: Open mic nights at restaurants, bars 

and other establishments around town may make for a fun 

way for friends to share a few laughs together. Participants 

need not be professional singers to join in on the festivities. 

• Camp out: Get in touch with nature by enjoying a camping 

trip, complete with a campfire and a few brews. Spending 

time in the wilderness can restore focus and let stress melt 

away. 

• Poker or game night: Groups can gather around the poker 

table to test their skills in poker and other card games. With 

some free-flowing beverages and snacks galore, games can 

get pretty animated. 

• Dinner party: Hire a chef to visit your house and prepare 

a meal for guests. Serve a signature cocktail and let the conversation 

flow. 

Bachelor and bachelorette parties can be affordable without 

sacrificing fun.

SPRING BRIDES | TRADITIONS 

Plan an Elegant Bridal Tea 

S 

pring 

is the perfect time to host an elegant bridal tea. Whether you are a bridesmaid or the mother of the bride 

or groom looking to honor the bride-to-be — or are a bride yourself — consider hosting a fancy get-together. 

It is inexpensive, chic and fairly 

easy to pull off without additional 

stress. 

SAVE ON RENTAL FEES 

You can save a significant amount 

of money by hosting the tea at someone’s 

home rather than at an event 

center or restaurant. Sunny spring 

weather means everyone should be 

comfortable in a backyard or patio 

setup. 

You will just need to be sure to have 

enough seating for everyone, which 

might require renting a few tables and 

extra chairs. 

CAPITALIZE ON 

SPRING FLOWERS 

An outdoor affair also provides 

plenty of natural decor. Afraid of rain? 

Flowers such as peonies are bountiful 

in spring, and their large blooms 

mean you only need one or two at 

each table to create a stunning effect. 

Roses also are a classic choice, with 

many varieties blooming in early 

spring. Any flower you choose, however, 

will add feminine flare and complement 

the tea service. 


USE FAMILY CHINA 

While the betrothed couple might 

not be registering for china, you can 

bet that their grandmothers — and the 

grandmothers of close friends — did 

so, still have it and hardly ever use it. 

Many women will most likely be 

happy to contribute to the occasion 

and let you borrow their settings. Be 

sure to keep track of which patterns 

belong to who, and return them 

promptly and hand washed. (Most 

china is too delicate for a dishwasher.) 

DON’T FORGET THE 

TEA ALTERNATIVES 

Not everyone is fond of tea, so be 

sure to have alternatives to offer to 

guests. 

For hot beverages that also can be 

sipped out of china, offer coffee or hot 

chocolate (a delicacy consumed yearround 

in many other countries), as 

well as cold beverages such as lemonade, 

or water garnished with cucumber 

or mint. 

DELICATE DECADENCE 

BARRE’S HOMETOWN BAKERY 

Master the wedding save-the-date 

Many couples’ weddings take more than a year to plan. Couples want all of the special 

people in their lives to witness their vows, and giving guests advance notice can 

ensure as many loved ones as possible attend the ceremony. 

Not only should a cake look 

amazing but it should 

taste amazing, too!

To be certain that guests have ample notice to clear their 

schedules, many couples now turn to save-the-date cards, which 

announce weddings well in advance of the actual wedding day. 

Save-the-date cards once were reserved only for weddings 

that required travel or special circumstances, such as destination 

weddings. But such cards have now become commonplace 

for all weddings. That’s because many people plan vacations 

or business trips anywhere from four to six months in advance. 

Busy people require plenty of notice to include this important 

date on their calendars, particularly when wedding dates fall 

during popular travel seasons or around the holidays.

Kleinfeld Bridal, a premiere New York bridal boutique, says 

that save-the-date cards are typically mailed six to eight months 

prior to the wedding, though some are sent as early as a year 

before the big day. Once a date and a location is secured, savethe-dates 

can be ordered and mailed. 

Save-the-date cards require couples to assemble their guest 

lists well in advance of the wedding. The leading bridal resource 

The Knot notes that everyone who will get a wedding invitation 

should also receive a save-the-date card. There’s no turning 

back once cards are sent, so couples will need to be certain 

everyone they want to attend is getting advanced notice. 

It’s acceptable to mail save-the-date cards even if some wedding 

day details are still up in the air. Guests really only need 

to know the date and location of the wedding. Couples also 

can use the save-the-date card to direct invitees to a wedding 

website where guests can learn the details of the wedding as 

they unfold. 

RSVP information does not need to be included on the savethe-date 

card. 

Save-the-date cards are much less formal than invitations, so 

couples can have fun with them. They can showcase couples’ 

clever personalities or funny quirks. Keep in mind it is in poor 

taste to mention gifts or registries on save-the-date cards. There 

will be plenty of time to direct guests to registries later on. 

Couples are increasingly turning to save-the-date cards when 

planning their weddings to make sure busy friends and family 

will have enough time to make plans to attend their weddings.

SPRING BRIDES | FLOWERS 

Incorporate flowers in various ways 

Weddings are special moments 

for couples and the 

guests they invite to share 

their happiness on their big 

days. Beautiful weddings require substantial 

planning, as every last detail must be 

considered for couples to enjoy the wedding 

of their dreams. 

Flowers play a big role in many weddings, and 

couples can add beauty and ambiance to the event by 

using floral arrangements in various ways. Modern floral 

arrangements are stunning, and many couples may 

not know that herbs, spices and flowers have been used 

in weddings for centuries. 

Today, flowers are used to decorate wedding venues, 

impart sweet fragrances and complement formal attire, 

but in ancient times they were used differently. 

Flowers were used to bestow good luck on the couple 

and keep bad omens away. Brides carried aromatic 

flowers and spices to keep evil spirits from spoiling the 

festivities, and some even tucked bulbs of garlic into 

their bouquets. In ancient Greece and Rome, both the 

bride and groom wore garlands made out of strongsmelling 

herbs flowers around their necks or heads. 

These wreaths were considered gifts of nature, and 

thus extremely appropriate for a wedding. Traditionally, 

bridesmaids would be responsible for fashioning 

these floral components. In ancient Sweden, young 

girls would carry small bouquets of fragrant herbs 

down the aisle and the groom would put thyme in his 

pocket. These aromatics were thought to help keep 

trolls at bay. 

Besides warding off spirits or hungry trolls, flowers 

also served more practical purposes throughout history. 

During the Middle Ages, people bathed less frequently 

than they do today. Bathing might only have occurred 

twice a year, once during summer and then again at 

Christmastime. Because many weddings took place in 

the spring, flowers were used to mask bodily odors. 

Not only were flowers and herbs carried, but they also 

would be sewn into clothing. 

Modern brides and grooms may no longer see their 

wedding days as times for opportunistic evil spirits. 

But that doesn’t mean that couples cannot borrow from 

ancient traditions and incorporate flowers into their 

weddings in various ways. 

• Wreaths and garlands: Ask the florist to weave small 

flower buds, berries and vines to a headband, wreath 

or piece of twine so that the bride and groom can wear 

these flowers in the way they were worn by ancient 

Greeks and Romans. When coupled with Grecianstyled 

wedding gowns, brides can look like beautiful 

goddesses on their wedding days. 

• Fragrant favors: Tuck dried rose petals and other fragrant 

flowers into sachets that are embroidered with the 

wedding date and couple’s names. Guests can use these 

sachets to keep clothings smelling fresh in drawers or 

as subtle air fresheners around the house. 

• Edible flowers: Ask the caterer to make meals flowerfriendly 

by including some edible blooms in the salad 

or as a garnish on meals. 

• Raining petals: In lieu of bubbles or birdseed, guests 

can shower the newlyweds with rose petals after the 

ceremony. 

• Memorial: Some couples like to honor departed family 

members. Floral arrangements with small placards 

can make for fitting memorials. 

What various flowers can represent 

Flowers have long been used to convey 

certain feelings in many cultures. 

Folklore, poetry and mythologies have 

played a role in defi ning the various 

meanings associated with certain blooms. 

Understanding the meanings behind various flowers can 

help couples more accurately express their feelings toward 

the special people in their lives. Read on to learn more about 

what certain blooms may symbolize. 

• Amaryllis: This flower symbolizes splendid beauty and can 

be given to indicate worth beyond beauty. 

• Aster: The popular aster symbolizes wisdom and devotion. 

• Bird of Paradise: The interesting shape and rarity of these 

blooms symbolizes joyfulness and magnificence. It can be an 

exciting flower, and one that evokes feelings of anticipation. 

• Black-eyed Susan: These vibrant blooms represent justice 

and can be ideal for the person who works in the legal profession. 

• Carnation: A less expensive alternative to roses, carnations 

represent pride and beauty. Furthermore, the colors of 

carnations represent different meanings. Red symbolizes 

love, while pink is for a mother’s love and white represents 

innocence and pure love. 

• Daisy: Innocence and purity are the meanings behind the 

yellow and white daisy. This can be the perfect pick for new, 

young love. 

• Freesia: Those wanting to evoke passionate feelings can 

choose freesia, which is also said to mean “joy.” 

• Hydrangea: Hydrangeas symbolize heartfelt emotions and 

can be used to express gratitude for being understood. This 

may be the perfect “making amends” flower. 

• Lilac: Couples seeking tranquility and passion can turn to 

lilacs. The calming lavender hues also can be a welcome 

change in floral arrangements. 

• Rose: Of course, no flower roundup would be complete 

without roses. Roses represent love and passion, and, like 

carnations, their colors symbolize different things. Red roses 

represent desire, pink roses suggest happiness and white 

roses symbolize worthiness. Avoid yellow roses, which suggest 

fading love. 

• Zinnia: Zinnias symbolize thoughts of distant friends and 

can make a thoughtful friendship arrangement to send to a 

faraway comrade.

SPRING BRIDES | AFTER THE WEDDDING 

Thank You Card Etiquette 

Receiving wedding gifts is an added joy 

of getting married. Writing thank-you 

notes for each of these gifts, however, 

can be a challenge 

This is especially true if you receive a large number of gifts. 

Not to worry, with this simple guide, your thank-yous will be 

thoughtfully written and in the mail in no time. 

Who to Thank 

Everyone who has given you a gift should receive your 

thanks. Be sure to add anyone who helped in planning, organizing, 

and decorating or ran errands on your behalf. Your 

wedding would not have been what it was without help. 

Start by making a list. This will ensure you don’t forget 

anyone and makes it easy to cross off each name as cards are 

written. 

When to Send 

For every gift you receive before your big day, you have 

a couple of weeks to post a thank you note. For every gift 

received at or after your wedding, you generally have a few 

months. 

This is not to say you should wait until the end of this 

etiquette deadline. Try to send your thank-you notes out as 

quickly as possible — ideally within the first few weeks after 

you return from your honeymoon. 

What to Say 

As a culture, we have always struggled with the best way 

to say, “thank you.” The best way to pen a mass quantity 

of thank-you notes is to stick with a simple formula, with a 

touch of personalization. 

Start with a simple greeting: 

Dear __________________________, 

Then express your gratitude: Thank you so much for 

__________________________. 

Next, mention the gift by name and add a personal detail. 

This could be how you plan on using or displaying the gift. 

If the person has given money, describe how you plan to 

spend it. 

Follow up this sentence by stating when you hope to see 

the person again, what the person means to you, or just that 

you’re thinking of her. 

Finally, end with your regards. 

Making it Fun 

You can relieve much of your anxiety about the task by making 

the experience an enjoyable one. Start off by stocking up 

on some beautiful stationery. 

Thank-you cards are items you will need again and again, so 

you can take advantage of bulk deals without worrying about 

waste. 

Make it an “event.” Put on some fun music, pour a glass of 

wine and pick up your favorite pen. Don’t forget to split the 

task with your beloved. 

GO FIGURE 

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figure given at 

the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by 

following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given 

(that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the 

numbers below the diagram to complete its blank 

squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

SPRING BRIDES | GETTING STARTED 

Perfect Engagement Photos 

Congratulations, you’re engaged. This is such an 

exciting time as you and your now fiance join 

together and make plans to share the rest of 

your lives together. 

After celebrating with friends and loved 

ones, one of the first things you will want 

to do is capture the moment in engagement 

photos. 

You’ve most likely seen engagement 

photos before — the good, the bad and the 

outright cringe-worthy. To avoid the latter, 

consider the following elements. 

Do Your Research 

Choosing a local photographer is key. 

Look through portfolios and other engagement 

sessions each professional has photographed. 

Keep in mind that many photographers 

include an engagement photo shoot in their 

wedding photo package, so you will save in 

the long run if you book the same photographer 

for your wedding as your engagement 

session. 

Schedule Early 

There are many benefits to snapping your 

engagement photos as early as possible. 

Not only will you want to capture the moment 

while your emotions of excitement 

are at their peak, but if you have them in 

hand early, you can incorporate them into 

your save-the-date cards and your wedding 

website or publish it with an engagement 

announcement in the local paper. 

Even if you choose to do none of these 

things, it will be one task complete. This will 

give you the free time to focus your attention 

elsewhere later — when you will need to 

make many decisions very quickly. 

Choose a Style 

Your engagement photos should reflect 

who you and your fiance are as a couple. 

You, your fiance and your photographer 

should discuss overall style and location, as 

well as any outfit changes you might have 

planned. 

Keep in mind how you plan to use the 

photos, as well as who will want them. 

Think of what you wouldn’t want hanging 

on your grandmother’s wall. 

Plan Your Outfits 

Stick with styles that complement one 

another and stay within the same color pallet. 

You also want to avoid looking like a 

“matching set.” 

Many brides-to-be incorporate white attire 

into their engagement sessions, which 

is a classic choice and allows the groom to 

choose colors he is comfortable in, as everything 

matches white. 

Concepts Kakuro 

Best described as a number 

crossword, the task in 

Kakuro is to fill all of the 

empty square, using numbers 

1 to 9, so the sum of 

each horizontal lock equals 

the number to its left, and 

the sum of each vertical 

block equals the number 

on its top. No number may 

be used in the same block 

more than once.

Circles 

By Kimberly Madura 

Connecting the dots again again again 

Is this what growth feels like, 

or is it loss? 

or is it change? 

It is painful. 

I will not call it progress because 

it is not straight; 

it seems now to me that life is circular. 

“round and round we 

go, where it stops 

we’ll never know.”

Michelle’s Cat 

By Charlie Knowlton 

Michelle’s cat is 19 years old... 

When I pick him up, his fur comes 

off. When I put him down, his fur 

comes off... Michelle says, “I want 

him to sleep with us.” I say, “I want 

a divorce.” Michelle says, “We’re 

not married.” I say, “Oh!… I guess 

I’ll go walk Lucy. She’s my dog.”

Ol’ Brenda 

By Old George 

48 of the most god awful worst years of my life! 

Oh what did I do to deserve such a wife. 

Worst cook I ever knew in my life. 

Tried to feed the hogs that slop with broth! 

Poor hogs ran from the troth! 

Put some on my hook 

Thought the fish would give it a yank! 

Instead they all jumped up on the bank! 

Ol’ Brenda’s so mean. 

The only thing we do agree. 

Is we don’t like each other you see. 

I’ve begged, I’ve pleaded of course. 

But she refuses ever to give me a divorce. 

O’l Brenda is meaner than old Bronco horse! 

But a horse is much prettier of course. 

She gave me such a life! 

What when I die! 

While I’m shoveling coal. 

I’ll look up and say, Oh is this hell?! 

Why I couldn’t tell, after having such a wife!

LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE / 

Lose 20 pounds in one week? 

This is almost impossible! 

Weight loss ads must refl ect 

the typical experiences of the 

diet users. Beware of programs 

that claim you can lose 

weight effortlessly. TIP: Clues 

to fraudulent ads include 

words like: “breakthrough,” 

“effortless,” and “new discovery.” 

When you see words like 

these be skeptical. Before you 

invest your time and money 

call the ATTORNEY GEN-

WANT A CURE-ALL? 

Health fraud is a business 

that sells false hope. Beware 

of unsubstantiated claims for 

health products and services. 

There are no “Quick Cures” 

— no matter what the ad is 

claiming. TIP: DO NOT rely 

on promises of a “money back 

guarantee!” Watch out for key 

words such as “exclusive secret,” 

“amazing results,” or 

“scientifi c breakthrough.” For 

more information on health related 

products or services, call

SERVICE DIRECTORY 

NOW HERE’S A TIP 

By JoAnn Derson 

* Freeze cool whip in a thick layer and use 

cookie cutters to make shapes for hot chocolate 

... perfect for these cold winter nights! 

* “Use squeeze bottles to do cookie decorating 

or cake piping. They also can be used to color pancake 

batter and make designs. It’s so much fun for the kiddos (and 

the parents too!)” -- L.I. in Montana 

* Fog proof that bathroom mirror by simply cleaning as usual, 

then coating the mirror with car wax. Use a lint-free cloth to 

buff it off, revealing a layer of steam-proof protection that 

lasts about a month. So good when you need a mirror to get 

ready in the morning. 

* When transporting any type of bottle or jar that could leak, 

simply place a small piece of plastic wrap over the open end, 

then close the bottle tightly. This will work for most screw-top 

containers to make them leak-proof. Snap-down lids should 

be secured with strong tape or placed into a larger sealable 

bag, like a zipper-seal plastic baggie. 

* “I toss my daughter’s hoodie sweatshirt into the dryer 

about 20 minutes before she needs to leave for the bus stop 

in the morning. Just as she’s leaving, I grab it and she puts it 

on. It keeps her toasty all the way to the stop, and it make her 

feel special.” -- M.R. in South Carolina 

* Before you go out shopping, take a minute on your phone 

while on the WIFI at home to search your email and websites 

for sales and coupons. Screenshot coupons so that the barcodes 

are clearly visible. This will save you downloading 

time while you are out and about, as well as serving as a 

reminder of the sale items you want to look at.

PASS, NEMST to Headline “Milk 

Bowl Friday” at Thunder Road 

Thunder Road officials have announced 

that both the Pro All Star Series (PASS) Super 

Late Models and the North East Mini Stock 

Tour (NEMST) have been added to the 56th 

Vermont Milk Bowl Weekend presented by 

Northfield Savings Bank in 2018. The two 

series will be part of a special “Milk Bowl 

Friday” event to be held on Friday, September 

28. 

It will be the second PASS North visit of 

the 2018 season to the Barre high banks, joining 

the Memorial Day Classic event that has 

been on the PASS calendar since 2015. For 

NEMST, they will make the trip to Thunder 

Road for the second time in their history and 

the first since 2013. 

Milk Bowl Friday will be a one-day event 

for both series, with the PASS Super Late 

Models running a 150-lap main event and 

NEMST scheduled for a 50-lap feature. The 

V8 Street Stock Showdown Series and 

Thunder Road’s Burnett Scrap Metals Road 

Warriors will round out the card. Post time is 

set for 6:00pm. 

“We’re really excited about adding a third 

day of competition to Vermont Milk Bowl 

Weekend, and we’re looking forward to having 

the PASS Super Late Models and the 

North East Mini Stock Tour be a part of it,” 

Thunder Road co-owner Cris Michaud. “The 

Vermont Milk Bowl has always been the biggest 

weekend on the Thunder Road calendar. 

By adding two of the top touring series in the 

region, along with the Street Stock Showdown 

Series, we hope to make it one of the biggest 

weekends on the Northeast motorsports calendar 

as well.” 

The addition of Milk Bowl Friday makes 

the 56th Vermont Milk Bowl a true three-day 

event, with Booth Bros./H.P. Hood Milk 

Bowl Qualifying Day on Saturday, September 

29 and the Vermont Milk Bowl presented by 

Northfield Savings Bank on Sunday, 

September 30. The Thunder Road Late 

Models, Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel Flying 

Tigers, Allen Lumber Street Stocks, and New 

England Dwarf Cars will be on the card for 

Saturday and Sunday.

Road offices at (802) 244-6963, media@

Cold Weather Brings Early Ice Fishing Opportunities 

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department says recent cold 

weather has made ice fishing a viable Vermont outdoor activity 

several weeks earlier than in recent years. 

At least six inches of solid ice is recommended for safe ice 

fishing, and that much ice hasn’t been present for some time 

on most lakes until late January. But ice fishing enthusiasts 

are now finding ample ice on many smaller lakes and the bays 

of larger lakes. Ice safety precautions, however, are still very 

important according to Fish & Wildlife. 

Vermont’s premier fishing destination, Lake Champlain, 

offers many ice fishing opportunities. According to Vermont 

Fish & Wildlife, ice anglers can find quality fishing for a 

variety of species on this 120-mile long lake, including landlocked 

salmon, lake trout, northern pike, yellow perch, white 

perch, walleye, and crappie. 

“Lake Champlain attracts twice as much fishing activity 

during the winter as during the summer, particularly in the 

northern third of the lake,” said State Fisheries Biologist 

Brian Chipman. “The plentiful yellow perch is the mainstay 

of the winter fishery, but many ice anglers also find good fishing 

for other species.” 

Traditional northern pike hotspots include Lake Champlain’s 

Kelley Bay, Missisquoi Bay, Dillenbeck Bay, Carry Bay, 

Keeler Bay, St. Albans Bay, the shallow flats south of the

Gardening Trends For 2018 

Each year, the Garden Media Group (www.gardenmediagroup. 

com)-- a marketing fi rm for the home and garden industry— 

identifi es key gardening trends for the coming season. For 

2018 they’ve pegged seven of these, based around the overall 

theme of nature’s prescription for mental wellness. 

Dr. Leonard Perry, 

Horticulture Professor Emeritus 

University of Vermont 

An interesting and rather surprising fact 

this report begins with is from the World 

Health Organization, which predicts by 2030 

the number one health issue will be anxiety, 

not obesity. Already, the “wellness” industries 

(wellness tourism including spas, for 

instance) have generated over $3.7 trillion in 

revenue, and are predicted to grow over 17 

percent during the next five years. The most 

stressed demographic is Gen-Y, with 81 percent 

of 13 to 34 year olds looking to balance 

mental and physical wellness. A recommendation: 

take time away from phones to stop 

and smell the roses. 

This wellness trend is not just about a 

healthy body, but also a healthy mind— 

one focused on positivity, relaxation, and 

self-care. Having plants around inside and 

out, especially those that help purify air 

indoors, finding a quiet place to meditate, 

and eating a plant-based diet are becoming 

priorities for many. This is nothing new, 

relaxation gardens dating back to Cyrus the 

Great of Persia over 2,500 years ago. What 

is new is the research supporting these, such 

as studies showing that being around water 

and in nature “shifts our brain towards hope 

and compassion and away from stress and 

anger.” 

So what are the specific trends this report 

highlights? The first is Climate Controlled, 

or gardening in a changing climate. Ways to 

do this they highlight are wind-resistant gardens, 

desert gardens to withstand drought, 

rain gardens to withstand flooding events, 

and freeze-proof gardens with hardy plants. 

Social Networks is the next trend, but 

doesn’t mean for humans but rather thinking 

of our gardens as interconnected social 

networks. Well-known author and landscape 

architect Thomas Rainer says there will be 

a big shift in horticulture from “thinking 

about plants as individuals to communities 

of interrelated species.” This will change 

our gardening to “focus on management, not 

maintenance.” One example of this is using 

green, living plants to cover bare soil rather 

than mulch. 

Imperfect Gardening is the third gardening 

trend for 2018. Such gardens embrace 

Wabi-Sabi— “the ancient Japanese practice 

that appreciates imperfections in life and the 

ability to age gracefully. Wabi-sabi gardens 

imitate nature in a way that allows you to 

relax and appreciate their humble and imperfect 

forms—yes, even the weeds.” Now that 

is my kind of garden. 

Also included in this trend is repurposing 

old or antique objects into the garden, and 

using natural materials such as ceramic over 

synthetic such as plastics. Using groundcovers 

instead of lawns in some spaces, 

and allowing “natural” lawns to develop 

with clover and dandelions is another part 

of this trend. Imperfect gardening allows 

native plants, even some that are considered 

“weeds”, to remain for pollinators and their 

larvae. 

The Breathing Room trend means privacy, 

quiet, “turning off the noise.” It also means 

incorporating more “clean air” plants into 

interior environments to promote better 

well-being, as well as removing some indoor 

volatile organic compounds such as benzene, 

formaldehyde, and xylene. These harmful 

compounds can come from such as paints, 

air fresheners, and furnishings. Some of the 

air-cleansing plants that you might consider 

are spider plants, Boston fern, golden 

pothos, aloe vera, snake plants, and peace 

lilies. 

The fifth trend, Make a Splash, refers both 

to incorporating more soothing water features 

into gardens, as well as the functional 

use of rainscapes to capture and cleanse 

stormwater. “Wonders of Water” is the 

theme in 2018 of the Philadelphia Flower 

Show—the largest such indoor show in the 

world. 

Grow Your Own Protein is the trend of 

“concerned citizens, particularly millennials, 

turning to meat-free eating for better 

health—both for ourselves and our planet.” 

Plant-based proteins “require less land, 

water, fuel, and other resources to grow, 

making them more eco-friendly than their 

animal-based counterparts.” “Flexitarian” is 

the new term for those 23 million Americans 

who are eating more plants, 38 percent going 

meatless at least once per week. Top proteinrich 

foods you can grow include edamame, 

peas, quinoa, broccoli, corn, asparagus, 

spinach, kale, millet, and sunflower seeds. 

Purple Reign is the last trend, which 

mirrors the shade of purple—ultra violet— 

which is the Pantone Color of the Year 

for 2018. “Purple food promotes mental 

strength. Purple antioxidants, or anthocyanins, 

help fight cancer, have anti-aging 

benefits, reduce obesity, and protect the 

heart.” Top purple foods you can grow 

include beets, blueberries, goji berries, 

eggplant, plums, purple cabbage, purple carrots, 

and purple sweet potatoes. Or, look for 

these and other purple produce at stores and 

farm stands. Don’t overlook purple foliage 

in the garden, such as from purple basil, or 

from the many purple flowers such as annual 

purple petunias or perennial salvia. 

Watch for signs and products of these 

trends this gardening season. Consider 

which you can incorporate into your own 

gardens, landscapes, and even interior living 

and work spaces.
