Each year, young and old alike flock to Wednesday’s Consumer
Night to see, taste and buy the best of Vermont during
the Buy Local Market. this indoor farmers market showcases
a wide array of Vermont food and beverage products. The

The Vermont Farm Show is many different things to our
diverse rural population. As J.E. Carrigan, Dean of the UVM
College of Agriculture stated in 1956, “We believe this event
has been very profitable to Vermont farmers, not only from
an educational standpoint, but also because it stimulated a
great many to improve their practices and to profit accordingly.”
We believe that he would agree that the Vermont
Farm Show continues to exemplify both the creative spirit of
Vermonters and our shared rural heritage, linking the past to
the future.We believe the same holds true today.
Fun Facts from Former Farm Shows!!
• Contests for Products included apples, bread, butter, cake,

A Conversation with Vermont Farm Show Manager,
Jackie Folsom
By Katie Moritz
Why is this show important to the community
and the state of Vermont?
“The Vermont Farm Show offers the opportunity
for agriculturists to learn the latest
technology, check in with USDA programs as
well as State programs and attend organizational
annual meetings that offer educational
components within their fields. It also showcases
job opportunities for young people
looking at a career in agriculture and in general
promotes a positive and energetic image
of our industry. It also offers consumers and
others who are just curious about agriculture
to visit with our professionals and ask questions
and learn who we are and why we are
important to the State of Vermont.”
What do you think is the most interesting
historical fact about the founding of the
Vermont Farm Show?
“The Farm Show began as a strong collaboration
between the leading associations
of the time and included not only dairy and
maple but turkeys, potatoes and baby chicks!
The most interesting thing I’ve found looking
through all the old brochures is that the
Vermont Dairymens’ Association, which is
now Vermont Dairy Industry Association,
held segregated meetings for the “farmers”
and their wives - the women had their own
booth space and speakers.”
How has the show changed and evolved
over the years?
“I think the biggest change came with the
moves; after the show traveled, more exhibitors
came on board and live animals were
exhibited by the Breeds Association. I
remember staffing the Vermont Guernsey
Breeders Booth in the ice area - BRRR! - and
looking at the llamas in the basement of the
auditorium. Moving to Essex Junction
allowed all the agricultural organization meetings
to occur in the same building as well as
greatly expand the equipment displays, both
This prestigious award recognizes an
exemplary farm that demonstrates overall
excellence in dairying and is a good ambassador
for the dairy industry. It is sponsored by
the New England Green Pastures Program,
and in Vermont, awarded by University of
Vermont Extension and the Vermont Dairy
Industry Association (VDIA). Each of the
other New England states also selects a winner.
Nominations will be accepted until April
27. Information about the program, last year’s
recipient and a link to the nomination form
can be found at http://go.uvm.edu/vdfya. Or
call Peggy Manahan at (800) 639-2130 with
questions or to request a copy of the form.
Farms that have been nominated previously,
but did not win, may be nominated again.
The judging committee, comprised of past
winners, will visit each farm to tour the
operation and interview the family. Nominees
will be evaluated on a number of criteria
including their overall farm management,
milk quality, crop production and pasture
quality, innovative practices and land stewardship,
including environmental practices.
The judges also will consider community
service, including activities promoting the
dairy industry and participation in agricultural
organizations.
The New England Green Pastures Program
evolved from a challenge issued in 1947 by
New Hampshire Governor Charles Dale. “I
challenge the other New England states to

inside and out. We were also able to expand
our exhibitors’ offerings by quite a bit!”
What does the Farm Show mean to
you?
“My husband and I moved to Vermont in
1985 and in 1986 we attended the Farm Show
in Barre and watched on TV monitors as the
shuttle Challenger exploded in the sky. The
outpouring of emotion from those folks in the
ice arena as the explosion played over and
over made me realize that this was a community
I wanted to be a part of. I worked in the
Cabot Creamery Booth for several years, as
well as milk promotion - for several years, we
made a huge ice cream sundae in a sugaring
pan and handed out samples during what
passed as Consumer Night. Then I got
involved in agritourism and hosted the VT
Farms Booth in the auditorium hallway - the
highlight of our week was when Governor
Douglas used to come for the Dairy Banquet
and ask us to watch his coat. I also worked in
the Vermont Farm Bureau booth and the
Nationwide booth and somewhere along the
line was asked to be the Farm Show board
member. When we moved the Show to Essex
Junction, the manager - Jon Turmel -
announced he was leaving the next year, and
they asked me to take a shot at it. This is my
6th year! I really enjoy the vendors - we’ve
gotten to know each other and how we work,
and it’s just a joy to see them year after year.
I have a great team behind me. Many
thanks to Glenn Rogers and Dave Adams, my
Floor Managers, as well as Nan Howe who
handles the website and our newest member,
Steve Mease who is doing Facebook and
Twitter. And also, many thanks to so many
exhibitors who have returned year after year
to support our show and make it grow!”
UVM Extension Seeks Nominations of
Outstanding Dairy Farms
produce better pastures than New Hampshire,
and I bet a hat that they can’t do it,” he
exclaimed, eliciting a flurry of responses.
Three thousand farmers entered that first
competition. The field was narrowed down to
18 finalists, three from each state. A
Wallingford, Connecticut, farmer took top
honors for the region. Dale paid the wager
with a top hat, which he presented to
Connecticut Governor James McConaughy
before a capacity crowd at Eastern States
Exposition in West Springfield,
Massachusetts.
In 1961 selection of a regional winner was
eliminated and instead each state named its
own outstanding dairy farm. Today the state
winners are no longer chosen on the “greenness
of their pastures” although the tradition
of official recognition at the “Big E” continues
with an awards banquet and presentation
of a silver pitcher to each recipient. Vermont
winners also are honored guests at the VDIA
annual meeting and at the farmer luncheon at
the Vermont Farm Show in Essex Junction.
The 2017 recipient was Fairmont Farm, a
1,600-head Holstein operation, owned by
Richard and Bonnie Hall and their nephew
Tucker Purchase, which includes farms in
East Montpelier and Craftsbury. Other recent
winners were Kirk and Katrina Lanphear,
who milk 440 cows in Hyde Park, and Les
and Claire Pike of Stowe, who own Keewaydin
Farm, a registered Jersey farm in Stowe.

Sterling College Offers Professional
Development In Cheesemaking & Affinage
While Vermont continues to produce its legendary cheddars,
it is increasingly the home of many other award winning artisan
cheeses. Until recently, many of these producers apprenticed in
Europe to learn their craft. Now, Sterling College in Craftsbury
Common, Vermont is offering short, intensive hands-on classes
for experienced artisan cheesemakers who want to deepen their
understanding and sharpen their skills. Registration is open for
May’s Fundamentals of Artisan Cheese along with the brand
new Affinage: The Art of Ripening Cheese class in July. Space
is limited to assure instructors can tailor the class for individual
goals.
“I am excited that Sterling is attracting aficionados and
entrepreneurs for these deep dives into cheesemaking,” said
Sterling President Matthew Derr. “It reflects both a growing
interest in mastering techniques and the expanding potential of
the marketplace.”
For more confident home cheesemakers and capable commercial
practitioners, the School of the New American
Farmstead at Sterling College offers Fundamentals of Artisan
Cheese from May 21-30, 2018. This advanced program is a
partnership with the Cellars at Jasper Hill -- an American
Cheese Society-certified professional educator and producer of
award-winning, perfectly ripened, single-source cheeses from
the verdant working landscape of Vermont.
Led by world-renowned master cheesemaker and educator
Ivan Larcher, the course provides the practical and scientific
knowledge needed to create and market exquisite small-scale
artisanal cheese. Sterling College’s unique curriculum features
living classrooms -- including nearby farms, a food venture
center, and climate controlled cheese caves. Both the science
and art of cheesemaking will be explored, with particular attention
paid to the artisanal production of lactic, hard, soft, Saint
Nectaire, and traditional brie cheeses.
Students will learn why animal care and feed are essential to
producing extraordinary milk. They will develop sensory and
tasting skills while observing ripening cultures, rind treatment,
and handling throughout the aging process. A session on
defects and troubleshooting is designed to offer invaluable
tools for managing production and working through the challenges
of the inherently variable ecological processes that create
superb cheese. The business of cheesemaking, such as sales
and distribution, content-based marketing, and critical food
safety concerns will be integrated throughout the course.
Larcher, who is teaching this course for the third time at
Sterling, said “I love that students here come with a passion for
learning and propelling their skills. They will be the ones to
honor the great history of these cheeses while pushing us to
new culinary boundaries.”
Fundamentals is designed as a lead–in for the brand new

Affinage: The Art of Ripening Cheese (July 17-21). Eric
Meredith leads this course which focuses on the science and
alchemy that takes place during ripening, as well as ways to
control the environment and the process. Working hands-on in
Cellars at Jasper Hill will add invaluable experience with corrective
actions or preventive measures that can be applied when
students return to their own operations. Two comprehensive
tastings during the week will help students hone their palates
and expand their depth of knowledge about cheese varieties.
During his 6 years in France, Meredith learned cheese making
and affinage from the best artisans in France. Today he runs
a consulting business helping cheese makers, affineurs and
retailers all over the world design, troubleshoot and fine tune
cheese making and affinage programs and facilities.
These classes are being offered through The School of the
New American Farmstead (SNAF), Sterling College’s continuing
education program. Classes represent the ideals of the
College’s undergraduate focus of stewardship and experiential
learning while offering multifaceted ways for agrarians, culinarians,
entrepreneurs and traditional craftspeople to hone
valuable skills. Learning experiences are offered in the form of
workshops, short-courses, symposia, and professional development
opportunities.
The School of the New American Farmstead at Sterling
College is generously underwritten by the following Vermont
businesses: Chelsea Green Publishing, the preeminent publisher
of books on the politics and practice of sustainable living;
Vermont Creamery, an award winning creamery offering
fresh and aged goat cheeses,
cultured butter, and créme
fraîche that combine the
European tradition of cheesemaking
with Vermont’s terroir:
the Cellars at Jasper Hill,
Vermont’s award winning
cheesemakers and affineurs.
Partner businesses share a
deep commitment to the environmental
stewardship mission

Guide to Developing Student
Creativity in Vermont Available for
Educators and Communities
Vermont’s ultimate sustainable crop is the
creative capacity of its students, according to
a newly published guide for the state’s educators,
parents and communities.
The pioneering 25-page guide – “Growing
the Ultimate Sustainable Crop: Creative
Capacity in Vermont Students” – is available
for free from the Community Engagement
Lab at communityengagementlab.org. It is
co-authored by acclaimed arts educator Eric
Booth, and Paul Gambill, co-founder of the
education non-profit. The guide grew from
the 2016 Vermont Creative Learning Forum,
and it is aimed at helping Vermont educators
and community partners identify, develop and
assess creative capacity in students.
This new publication has strong implications,
utility and guidance for creativityfocused
programs in schools and organizations
around the country.
Over six days in November, 2016, the
Community Engagement Lab brought together
five of the nation’s most experienced
teaching artists, a leading researcher, and 85
committed Vermont educators, community
learning partners, and students to deepen their
understanding of the ways they can develop
creative capacity more effectively in their
hometowns, schools and other institutions.
The Forum was designed to explore how
creative engagement in learning could support

Community Responds Generously to
Capstone’s Fuel Your Neighbors Initiative
In less than two months, the
Fuel Your Neighbors campaign
has raised nearly $70,000 in
donations and match commitments
to support emergency
food and heating assistance for
vulnerable central Vermont households.
Capstone Community Action launched Fuel
Your Neighbors, powered by VSECU, to raise
$100,000 in three months to help prevent
community members from going to sleep cold
and hungry this winter.
To inspire others to take part, and to help
Capstone reach its goal of $100,000, National
Life Group has offered to match the next
$7,500 donated to this initiative.
Winter is a tough time for thousands of
central Vermonters. Families often must
choose between basic necessities like food
and heat, and children and seniors are the
most vulnerable in these difficult situations.
This year, Capstone will work with over 7,000
people to help put food on their table and heat
in their homes.
“The extreme cold snap we recently experienced
has only made things tougher for those
struggling to survive the cold winter months,”
remarks Rubin Bennett, Board Chair of
Capstone Community Action. “The community’s
support of Fuel Your Neighbors is critical
to ensuring the safety and wellbeing of
those most vulnerable.”
“Thankfully there’s a resource for anyone

requires students to design personalized learning
plans. Personalized learning plans
acknowledge each student’s individual goals,
learning styles, and abilities, and require students
to take a larger measure of control over
their education, to envision their future and to
map steps to get there. The envisioning of
goals, and planning to attain them, involves at
its core creative thinking. “This guide supports
the development of that creative capacity
for kids to take ownership of their learning,”
said Booth.
After defining creativity in a teacherfriendly
way, this guide details five core
building blocks that must be in place to foster
creative learning, and the four key capacities
and skill sets within the creative process that
educators must target.
The guide is illustrated with photographs
of Vermont students engaged in creative
learning; these include the Community
Engagement Lab’s teaching artist residency
projects that use creative engagement as a
teaching and learning pathway within core
curriculum subjects.
“Creativity is contagious,” said Albert
Einstein. “Pass it on.”

capacities guide, contact Paul Gambill at

bite of winter: Capstone’s Fuel Your Neighbors
program,” states Beth Rusnock, President of
the National Life Group Foundation. “Winters
in Vermont are long; let’s work together to
make sure that they’re manageable for our
vulnerable neighbors.”
Fuel Your Neighbors is a giving campaign,
powered by VSECU with additional support
from National Life Group and The Point FM
to raise money for Capstone Community

Capstone Community Action was founded
in 1965 and works to alleviate the suffering
caused by poverty and to create economic
opportunity for people and communities.
Capstone’s programs include emergency
food, heat and utility assistance, housing
counseling and homelessness intervention,
transportation assistance, workforce development,
home weatherization, and child and
family development programs in Early Head
Start/Head Start. We serve over 14,000 people
through these programs each year. www.capstonevt.org.

Vermont Agency of Education Awards 25 Presidential Scholar Nominees
The Vermont Agency of Education has recognized the
state’s 2018 Presidential Scholar nominees in a ceremony at
the Vermont Statehouse.
The Vermont Presidential Scholars Program recognizes
graduating high school seniors who show outstanding scholarship,
leadership and service to their communities. Twenty
(10 male and 10 female) scholars are nominated in the general
category, and five scholars are nominated in the Career
and Technical Education category (CTE).
All Vermont scholars will be invited to apply to the U.S.
Presidential Scholars Program, which will announce its winners
in May 2018. Additional Vermont students may be chosen
to apply by the U.S. Department of Education based on
ACT and SAT scores. Each year, up to 161 students are named
as national Presidential Scholars – one of the highest honors
for high school students.
“I am so proud to have these students representing Vermont
as U.S. Presidential Scholar nominees,” Secretary Holcombe
said. “Their exceptional academics and skills, as well as their
personal leadership and service, are what set them apart.”

Winners of MLK JR. Poster-Essay Contest Announced
The Vermont Bar Association, in partnership with its
Diversity Section and Young Lawyers Division, sponsored a
Martin Luther King, Jr. Poster-Essay Contest to celebrate the
life and message of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Middle school students were asked to create a poster and
write a short essay interpreting what Dr. King’s famous “I
Have a Dream” speech means to them. One winner and two
runners-up were selected by the committee from many beautiful
and thoughtful entries from throughout the state.
Governor Phil Scott presented awards to the winning students
at the Statehouse. Gracie Lawrence, a 5th grader from
Hardwick Elementary School in Hardwick, was presented with
the first-place plaque and traveling trophy for her school.
Tobianna Aldrich, an 8th grader from Manchester Elementary-
Middle School in Manchester, received the first runner-up
plaque and the team of Rowan Morgan and Chandler Neveu,
both 5th graders from the Main Street Middle School in
Montpelier, received the second runner-up plaque.
The students and their teachers and families were photographed
with their winning submissions and Governor Scott.
The Governor spoke of the importance of Dr. King’s message
today, including the importance of being kind to one another
and to “tweet others as you would like to be tweeted” on
social media. After the ceremony, the group attended a statehouse
tour and then were invited to the Vermont Supreme
Court where they were greeted by Chief Justice Paul Reiber.
Justice Reiber congratulated the students, handed out VBA
pocket constitutions, and spoke to the importance of the historic
document and of Dr. King’s legacy. The students’ posters
and essays will be on display at the Supreme Court building
throughout the month of January. They will also be featured
in the Vermont Bar Journal.
The VBA would like to congratulate all of the participants
who submitted such excellent entries. Special thanks to
Governor Scott, the Sergeant-at-Arms, and Chief Justice
Reiber, as well as to all of their staff members for making the
event so memorable for the winning students, their teachers
and families.

back. Carol nearly died from a combination of the swine flu
and lithium poisoning. Her descent to the bottom of the metaphorical
well provided the impetus for her to research nondrug
therapies. These therapies, along with faith, hope, and
courage, brought Carol back to a peaceful life. Carol recounts
her life and investigates the factors that precipitated imbalance.
She writes about her extraordinary experiences during
expanded states of consciousness. She also delves into the
world of symbols and mythologies, describing how they
became poignant for her. Carol calls her experience a time of
spiritual awakening; a time of developing self-esteem, learning
to love herself, and finding her true purpose. She hopes
that her insights will help others going through spiritual crisis.
Those interested in humanistic psychology, personal growth,
and spirituality may find this book fascinating.

Book Launch and Pop-Up Exhibit for “The Design-Build Studio:
Crafting Meaningful Work in Architectural Education”
• • •

• • •
Norwich University will celebrate “The Design-Build
Studio: Crafting Meaningful Work in Architectural Education,”
a new book edited by Assistant Professor of Architecture
Tolya Stonorov, with a reception on Wednesday, Jan. 31, at 4
p.m. at the Sullivan Museum and History Center Rotunda.
Refreshments will be served.
The public is invited to this free event which includes a
pop-up exhibit of Stonorov’s original drawings from the
book. Other Norwich book contributors, Associate Professor
Danny Sagan, Dean of the College of Professional Schools
Aron Temkin, Adjunct Professor Steve Kredell and alumnus
Dan Wheeler, 2015, will be on hand to sign books and discuss
their contributions.
“The Design-Build Studio” examines 16 international community
driven design-build case studies through process and
product, with chapters on community involvement, digital
and handcraft methodologies and a graphic Time Map. As a
field guide to current trends in academic design-build studios,
including Norwich University’s School of Architecture + Art,
the work offers a look into the different design-build processes
and methodologies and how they can be used to transform
communities.
Design-build supports the idea that building, making and
designing are intrinsic to each other: knowledge of one
strengthens and informs the expression of the other. Hands-on
learning through the act of building what you design translates
theories and ideas into real world experience. The work
chronicled in this book reveals how this type of applied
knowledge grounds us in the physicality of the world in which
we live.
“The pedagogies and methodologies exhibited in ‘The
Design-Build Studio’ embody the ethos of architecture education
at Norwich, which is rooted in doing, but also in doing
with purpose,” Stonorov said.
The book has received great praise since its recent publication.
Bryan Bell, Executive Director of Design Corps notes:
“The Design-Build Studio is a deep dive into the methods and
lessons of the important educational tool known as designbuild.
The content provides a thorough presentation of the
state of the art, and allows the reader to compare and contrast
the thinking and making of thirty of the outstanding leaders in
the field. This book presents a learning opportunity that will
allow us all to better define what works well, and move further
forward in the evolution of this inclusive, pluralistic, and
transformative teaching method.”
Clifford Curry, FAIA & Co-Founder of the Curry Stone
Design Prize notes: “Stonorov advocates for a better architect
- one that builds in a more complete way. The multi-faceted
approach of building one’s designs with the added value of
community contributions should be a required experience for
every budding architect.”

Other passings....
KEITH THOMPSON ATEN, age 58, chose to
end his life on Jan. 11, 2017. His many friends
and family are heartbroken by this final act that
contradicted their knowledge of Keith as the
joyful, witty and compassionate man whom they
loved. Born in Cold Springs, NY, and raised in
Geneva, NY, Keith graduated from Hamilton
College in 1982. His first job after college was as a residential
advisor at Charles River Academy in Cambridge, MA. Keith

1986. Two sons soon followed: Tyler in 1988 and Alex in
1989. His boys were and remained the light of his life. Keith

as an attorney. He worked at Downs, Rachlin and Martin for
seven years. In January 2001, he, along with two other lawyers,
established Aten Clayton & Eaton PLLC, in Littleton,

remembered for his quick smile, his kindness and generosity
in friendship, his sense of fun, and his extensive knowledge of
knot-tying. Keith, Bonnie, Tyler and Alex traveled together
every year as a family, alternating destinations both abroad
and in the states. Keith was a uniquely caring and giving husband,
father, friend, son and brother. Despite outward appearances,
this last year brought on a severe depression that he was
unable to overcome. While he will be sorely missed, Keith’s
friends and loved ones are grateful to know that he is no longer
suffering. Keith is survived by his soulmate, Bonnie
Johnson-Aten; his two sons, Tyler and Alex Aten; his father,
Carl Aten; sister Lorraine (Arun) and brother Steven Aten.

Old Man Winter
Brrr. Over half the country is
being brutalized by cold weather,
and unfortunately it looks
like it’s going to be long-term.
Spring will come eventually, but meanwhile we need to take
care of ourselves, our homes and our pets.
OURSELVES
* If you have to go out in the cold, dress in layers. Don’t
forget hat, gloves and thick scarf.
* Know in advance where the closest warming shelters are
in your town. Keep a radio handy, plus batteries, for weather
news. Carry a tiny flashlight in your pocket at all times, in
case the power goes out.
• • •
* Don’t forget to eat! Drink plenty of
water.
OUR HOMES
* Sprinkle road salt, sand or even kitty litter
on your sidewalks and stairs.
* Keep your cellphone charged up.
* Close blinds and curtains against drafts.
Be sure the temperature inside is at least 68
F, because we seniors don’t feel the cold like
we used to. If you run a space heater, don’t
leave it unattended. If you leave the room,
turn it off.
* Even if you live in an apartment building,
beware any sink, tub or shower that is on
an outside wall. Try to keep the faucets open
so a small trickle keeps the water moving.
* If the worst happens and your pipes
freeze, never try to thaw them out with any
gadget that involves a flame. It’s time to call
in reinforcements, like your plumber.
OUR PETS
* If you walk a dog, put a doggie sweater
on it and get back in the house quickly. If you
have a cat, keep it inside. Don’t let a pet stay
outside, even if it has shelter.

Healthcare Leader Jim
Alvarez Joins CVMC as Vice
President of Support Services
James “Jim” Alvarez, MSM, LSSBB has joined Central
Vermont Medical Center as Vice President of Support Services.
He started in the role Jan. 8.
As Vice President of Support Services, Alvarez provides
executive leadership to those teams maintaining the hospital’s
physical structures, as well as to those providing many of the
non-clinical services within it. These areas include Central
Sterile Reprocessing, Environmental Services, Materials
Management, Nutrition Food Services, Plant Facilities,
Property/Project Management, Support Services and
Security.
Alvarez brings more than 30 years of health care leadership
experience and comes to CVMC from Iowa’s Trinity
Muscatine hospital, a partner in the UnityPoint Health system.
As Trinity’s Vice President of Support Services, he developed
the hospital’s master facility plan, refined its Lean Business
Management System, and provided executive leadership to
non-clinical teams including facilities, Joint Commission
readiness, revenue cycle, health information management,
environmental services and process improvement. He led
Trinity’s development of a three-year strategic plan, which
included championing employee engagement goals and implementing
a zero-wait emergency department.
Prior to this role, Alvarez served as Executive Director of
Support Services for Harrison Medical Center in Bremerton,
Wash., a 297-bed acute care and 97-bed orthopedic and
women’s services hospital with 22 provider clinics. In this
role Jim had accountability for nutrition services, security,
facilities, biomed, construction, master’s facilities and strategic
planning, process improvement and patient advocacy. He
successfully led the hospital’s 10-year master service area
plan, managed a capital budget of $20 million annually, and
led patient satisfaction improvement efforts that resulted in
the organization’s best-ever Press Ganey ranking.
Alvarez received his Master’s degree in organizational
leadership from Thomas Edison University and is a certified
Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.
“We are pleased to have Jim join Central Vermont Medical
Center’s leadership team,” said Anna Noonan, President and
Chief Operating Officer.

Gifford Brings Vermont MedDrop Kiosk to Community
Unused drugs or over-the-counter medications left in the
home can find their way into the hands of children or potential
addicts, and in-home disposal methods like flushing down the
drain or throwing in the trash can contaminate waterways.
Gifford Medical Center has installed a collection kiosk in
their main lobby where people can safely dispose of unused
or expired medications.
“The National Prescription Drug Take Back Day events
held in April and October have been very successful in our
community and we wanted to provide additional opportunities
for people to safely drop off unused drugs,” said Gifford
Community Relations Coordinator Bethany Silloway. “We
worked with Regional Prevention Partners and the Orange
County Sheriff’s Department (who is helping with disposal),
and received funding from the Vermont Department of Health
to bring the kiosk into our main lobby, offering people a safe
and accessible collection box 24-hours a day.”
Unused medications that are collected include:
• Over-the-counter medications
• Prescription medications, patches, or ointments
• Vitamins
• Medication for pets
• Medications in liquid form (if tightly capped)
Silloway stressed that Gifford staff and volunteers cannot
be involved in the collection process—individuals must bring
medications in a bottle or sealed plastic bag (no loose pills)
and place them directly into the MedDrop kiosk.
Prescription drug abuse is the fastest growing drug problem
in the U.S, and drug overdose has become the leading cause
of injury deaths. Safely disposing of unwanted and expired
medications is one way we can all help reduce the public
health and environmental damage unwanted drugs can bring
to our community.
What to Do if You Get the Flu
Flu is widespread across the state, and health officials want
to make sure Vermonters know what steps to take to prevent
becoming ill, and when to seek treatment.
Health Commissioner Mark Levine, MD said that flu is on
the rise in Vermont, and because the vaccine is less effective
against the predominant strain of virus that’s circulating, it’s
important that people know what to do if they get sick.
“The H3N2 flu strain is what we are mainly seeing in
Vermont and around the country,” said Dr. Levine. “This version
of the flu can result in more severe illness, with more
severe consequences for some people, though even regular flu
can be pretty unpleasant.”
It is not too late to get your flu shot, and this is especially
important if you are someone at high risk of complications
from the flu. People at high risk include: pregnant women,
young children, adults 50 years and older, and people with
chronic health conditions like asthma and diabetes.
“Some protection is better than zero protection,” said Dr.
Levine. “While the vaccine is less effective against H3N2, it
works well against other flu strains that are circulating.
Getting vaccinated will also help those who have more trouble
handling the flu if they were to get it, especially babies too
young to be vaccinated and those who have weakened
• • •
immune systems.”
Flu can hit older adults particularly hard. Vermonters age
65+ are encouraged to contact their health care provider to
discuss getting vaccines that are designed to give older people
a stronger immune response. Dr. Levine recommends that
older Vermonters contact their doctor as soon as they suspect
they may have the flu. “If you start having flu symptoms, talk
to your doctor about antiviral treatment right away. Antiviral
drugs are most effective within the first 48 hours of the onset
of illness.”
Flu symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, runny or
stuffy nose, body aches, headache, chills and fatigue.
The Health Department is recommending that Vermonters
take steps to prevent flu and to know what to do if they
become ill:
•Get vaccinated. Everyone over the age of 6 months should
get a flu shot.
•Keep germs from spreading: Wash hands, cover coughs and
sneezes, stay home if you’re sick.
• If you are at high risk of complications from flu, call you
doctor as soon as you become ill.

Running for Montpelier City Council
Dear Editor,
My name is Alex Geller and I am running for Montpelier
City Council in District 2. My wife, Wendy, and I have been
residents of Montpelier for six years, and I feel now is the
time for me to give back to this great community.
I currently work in IT Project Management where my
main responsibilities include helping the state modernize its
processes and tools to become more efficient while delivering
enhanced services to taxpayers. I try to bring an analytical
and collaborative approach to examining challenges
from multiple angles so that pragmatic decision-making can
take place.
My hope is that I could use these skills to help the
Council investigate where Montpelier shines and where our
city might address its challenges in balanced and measurable
ways.
On a personal note, I’m enthusiastic about outdoor recreation.
I’d love to see Montpelier complete the bike path and
find creative ways to embrace our two rivers, responsibly.
Expanding recreational opportunities is one way to attract
young people who value a balanced and healthy lifestyle. In
turn, this will help diversify Montpelier’s demographics to
ensure a resilient economy and strong community.
I am supportive of the City Council’s efforts to improve
our infrastructure while maintaining a reasonable budget
and tax rate. Additionally, I would like to see more housing
opportunities developed in ways that retain our city’s character
so that elders can remain members of our community
and young families can join us and settle here.
There are other issues I would like to speak to between
now and Town Meeting Day on March 6, but in the meantime,
District 2 residents should feel free to reach out to me
at GellerD218@gmail.com. I’d like to hear your views and
• • •
perspectives so I can understand how, if elected, I might
serve you well.
Sincerely,
Alex Geller
Prioritizing the Health of
Our Children
Dear Editor:
In Vermont, we work hard to protect our kids from anything
that may cause them harm. This is doubly true in school buildings,
where we vet the people going in and out, monitor things
like allergens and medications, and take careful notice of how
we maintain facilities. Unfortunately, there is a missing link in
school safety, and that is in the air our kids breathe daily.
High levels of radon have been found in schools across the
country – including some in Vermont. Radon is a naturally
occurring radioactive gas and the second leading cause of
lung cancer. It is odorless, tasteless, clear, and creeps in
through the foundation, silently accumulating in buildings
and homes. Long term exposure to radon can be harmful and
even deadly.
While Vermont’s Department of Health offers free radon
testing to public schools, only 74 of nearly 300 schools have
taken advantage of this program since 2005. Of the schools
that were tested, 15% had had screening results classified as
dangerous enough to recommend radon mitigation. These
tests, which effectively measure a dangerous toxin, should be
mandatory in every school building, and results should be
disclosed to the teachers, parents and community members –
whose lives may be changed because of it.
Thankfully, Senator Ginny Lyons is introducing a bill
requiring schools to do just that. This is a vitally important bill
for all teachers, parents and families in Vermont that rely on
schools to educate and protect our children. All Vermonters
should urge their representatives to support this legislation
and prioritize the health of our children and the air they
breathe.
Sincerely,
Rebecca Ryan

New Public Noticing System Puts Information
into the Hands of all Vermonters
Once considered out-of-sight, the state’s environmental
permitting system just got a massive makeover that’s turning
heads. The Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC)
recently launched the Environmental Notice Bulletin (ENB).
Now, for the first time ever, there is an online hub that gives
anyone the ability to easily track permit applications and add
public comments.
DEC issues more than 9,000 permits annually. Nearly half
of these permits will be publicly noticed on ENB in the coming
year, making the entire process more straightforward and
transparent. ENB gives users the power to add comments
directly to the website, request a public meeting, and receive
notice of the final permit application decision.
Permits play a key role in sustaining Vermont’s outstanding
environment and vibrant communities. DEC permits protect
public health, support economic viability, promote the safe
handling of fuel and other hazardous materials, and safeguard
drinking water. These permits help businesses, municipalities
and individuals build homes, facilities and infrastructure
while protecting Vermont’s air, water and land.
“The Environmental Notice Bulletin is an example of how
government should operate, working together with the public
to improve access to information and to decisions that affect
our everyday lives,” said DEC Commissioner Emily
Boedecker. “Whether you’re interested in facilities that manage
household trash and food scraps, invasive species control,
wetlands and water quality, shoreline development projects,
or wastewater treatment facilities, ENB offers an easy way to
stay informed.”
ENB is the result of user feedback and represents a larger
movement in state government to modernize processes. DEC
looked at its overall permitting system and analyzed how the
public was engaging with the permitting process. After
reviewing these results, the Department created ENB to
increase public engagement and provide a more predictable,
consistent system for applicants. ENB merges 85 different
permit procedures into five core categories and consolidates
all permit information into one place on the ENB website.
In the three weeks since ENB launched, there is already a
substantial mix of permit applications in the system including
permits for brewery conversions, lakeshore protections and
stormwater management. ENB provides a valuable service to
all Vermonters by making a wealth of information instantly
available online. Starting using the new Environmental
Notice Bulletin today at enb.vermont.gov.

After the indefensible disaster of the Iraq War, we are
not as quick to trust politicians when they try to get
involved in foreign conflicts.
In 2013, President Obama tried his best to rally our support
for war when Syrian President Assad defied Obama’s Line in
the Sand. We were just about to go to war against Damascus
and possibly Russia when the American people resoundingly
and smartly rose up against it.
So… what is a militarist regime to do when its people don’t
trust it and are sick of war? Battle secretly, of course!
The US is still actively involved in Libya. Our bombing
raids destroyed a stable, anti-Islamist, pro-minority regime
and replaced it with chaos, Al-Qaeda, and a return to the slave
trade. And we’re still there finding new ways to mess the place
up.
Our military has been working hand in hand with Saudi Arabia
to decimate Yemen since 2015. It never bothered to tell us
why.
There are US boots in Pakistan even though it is not even
clear whether the regime in Islamabad is our ally or a pro-
Taliban, pro-terrorism arch enemy.
There is an enduring military and CIA presence in Chad,
Congo, Ethiopia and Somalia. They figure that you don’t know
where those countries are and don’t care how many people we
kill there.
Oh, by the way, the military is still meddling in Syria, too,
even though we told them not to.
THE story of the Obama years was how the War on Terror
went underground. But it wasn’t covered because the Establishment
Media is shameless and terrible.
Apparently, that was not always the case.
Steven Spielberg’s “The Post” tells the semi-gripping story
of how the feisty editor (Tom Hanks) and the brave publisher
(Meryl Streep) of the Washington Post defied the Nixon Administration
and published the Pentagon Papers in 1971.
The Pentagon Papers were a secret report by then-Secretary
of Defense Robert McNamara that explored the consequences
of American actions in Vietnam from 1945 to 1967.
The two most damning aspects of the Pentagon Papers was
the revelation that Presidents Kennedy and Johnson actively
lied to the American people about what was really happening
in Vietnam. And the upsetting fact that the military agreed that
the war was unwinnable as early as 1965 but sent two million
more men there, anyway.
We are supposed to feel like the Washington Post reporters
were brave to publish the Pentagon Papers because the Nixon
White House had filed a court injunction trying to criminalize
the publication of military secrets.
Spielberg tried to spin this into a life and death battle for the
free press. It wasn’t. It was little more than an ill-conceived
dirty trick by the White House against hostile newspapers that
Nixon feared were working to destroy him. He was dead right,
by the way.
The more compelling drama comes from publisher Kay
Graham’s difficult decision to betray her close friends Lady
Bird Johnson and Robert McNamara by making them look
bad in her newspaper.
“The Post” is an awkward failure by an aging director who
may be losing his edge for good. Every conclusion that Spielberg
makes is either childishly obvious or completely wrong.
His primary argument is that the Pentagon Papers marks
the end of the era where newspaper bigwigs befriended and
protected politicians.
The last decade proves that this is total hogwash. The press
kept silent about the secret wars of the Obama years because
it adored the President.
And if American reporters ever decide to shine a spotlight
on the lies and abuses of our military and CIA, it will not be
because they care about the lives of brown and black people.
It will be because they want to destroy a President who refuses
to be friends with them.

THANK YOU FOR SAYING
I SAW IT IN
Discover the world’s best
walk-in bathtub from
By William D. Moore,
President & CEO
As a membership organization, The
Chamber has an obligation to our
members to be strong advocates on
their behalf. In fact, one of the principal
tenets of our Strategic Plan is to
advocate for the business community.
Our Public Policy positions are identified
through an arduous process
which includes a thorough vetting by our Public Policy
Committee, chaired this year by Jon Skates from Casella
Waste Management, and then referred to our Board of
Directors for their adoption. The issues that we become
engaged with are broad-based that affect all aspects of business
and commerce.
We firmly believe that adoption of the positions we take
will help to create a pro-business, pro-growth state economy.
There are those who believe that the business community is
well-suited to take on a disproportionate share of the cost of
state government. There are those who believe that the business
community can afford to fund government operations at
a high level.
The fact is that “profit” is not a four-letter word. Free enterprise
is what built the world’s biggest economy and it is free
enterprise that has provided the means for success of individuals
and businesses. Overburdensome taxation, employer
mandates and over regulation of business stifles business
expansion and economic growth.
Previously I wrote about the Central Vermont Chamber of
Commerce Public Policy positions on Budget and Taxes,
Education Funding, Employer/Business Mandates, and
Employer and Labor Issues. This week I will address the
remainder of the issues that we will be following in the 2018
session of the Vermont General Assembly.
ENERGY
• Encourage reliable and affordable electricity and fuels for
heating and transportation
• Ensure rates that are competitive and are cognizant of the
cost to businesses of all sizes
• • •
Creating a Pro-Business, Pro-Growth State Economy
• • •
• Encourage energy conservation and use of renewables without
shifting
costs
• Support local control over siting renewable energy sources.
HEALTH CARE REFORM
• Maintain and expand personal choice and responsibility
regarding health care costs
• Bring transparency to health care pricing
• Promote efficiency throughout Vermont’s health care system.
PERMITTING
• Simplify and streamline the permitting process
• Create a permit process that is timely, more predictable and
less subjective
• Reduce the numbers of appeals, and reimburse the prevailing
party for direct and indirect costs.
TRANSPORTATION
• Recognize that many forms of VT transportation infrastructure
are vital to the Vermont economy
• Support the use of transportation funds exclusively for transportation
projects
• Ensure that the transportation fund is supported by all modes
of motorized transportation
• Expand private sector reliance to deliver transportation projects
more efficiently
• Support creative ways to leverage federal funds to ensure
that needed projects get completed
• Maintain private sector access to transportation projects
• Align Vermont transportation policies so that they are competitive
with neighboring states.
The Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce recognizes
that government has a responsibility to support and protect all
citizens. We also recognize that government has a direct role
to play in creating a springboard for growing the economy.
We believe that adopting policies that The Chamber supports
will lead to a stronger state economy, one that will encourage
more business expansion and ultimately create more jobs.

We’re Thinking Sunshine!
Fresh Air summers are filled with children running through
the sprinklers in the grass, gazing at star-filled skies and
swimming for the first time. This summer, join volunteer host
families in Central Vermont, and open your heart and home to
a Fresh Air child. Each summer, thousands of children from
New York City’s low-income communities visit suburban,
rural, and small town communities along the East Coast and
Southern Canada through The Fresh Air Fund’s Friendly
Towns Program.
Madisen, age 11, has visited the MacKinnon family for the
past two summers. Host mom Linda said, “Seeing the world
through Madisen’s eyes and enthusiastic spirit has made our
whole family appreciate what we have. On her visit, Madisen
joined us in our daily summer activities. She tried lots of
things for the first time that we often take for granted; this
summer she learned how to play tennis, attended her first
yoga class, fed the horses that live next door, and swam in the
ocean for the first time! Madisen really reminds us of how
special the simple things are.”
The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency,
has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8 million
New York City children from low-income communities
since 1877. Fresh Air children are boys and girls, from seven
to 18 years old, who live in New York City. Children who are
reinvited by host families may continue with The Fresh Air
Fund through age 18 and can enjoy extended trips.

NATURAL HEALTH CORNER | JOSHUA SINGER
Are you aware of the
new guidelines for
hypertension, or high
blood pressure? This
is the fi rst comprehensive set of
new guidelines since 2003, now
lowering the defi nition of high
blood pressure and accounting for nearly half of
the U.S. adult population. (I was very surprised
too to see this percentage in my research.)
This will mostly be affecting younger people,
tripling the diagnosis for men under the age of
45 and doubling for women under 45 years old.
I understand this change in defi nition to be a
proactive approach to reducing cardiovascular
risk, not necessarily suggesting all those of us
with certain numbers get on medication. This
change will more assertively encourage us to
take action with lifestyle changes that are known
to reduce blood pressure.
NEW GUIDELINES FOR HYPERTENSION
Blood pressure categories in the new guidelines are:
• Normal: Less than 120/80 mm Hg;
• Elevated: Systolic between 120-129 and diastolic less
than 80;
• Stage 1: Systolic between 130-139 or diastolic between
80-89;
• Stage 2: Systolic at least 140 or diastolic at least 90 mm
Hg;
• Hypertensive crisis: Systolic over 180 and/or diastolic
over 120.
If you aren’t clear on these terms, “systolic” is the top
number in a blood pressure reading and is the maximum
pressure your heart exerts while beating. “Diastolic” is the
lower number and is the amount of pressure in your arteries
between beats. So, to further clarify, blood pressure is
the force of blood pushing against the vessel walls. When
it is considered high, there may often be no specific symptoms
until it becomes severe. When it is critical, one may
experience headaches, shortness of breath and nosebleeds.
Hypertension can be primary, without any seeming cause,
or it may be secondary, caused by an underlying reason
like kidney disease, thyroid imbalance, medications, or
illegal drug use such as cocaine.
YOU MAY HAVE SOME SAY IN THE MATTER
There are some understood risk factors that are controllable,
some more easily than others. For example, having
excessive weight on your body makes it harder for your
heart to pump oxygen rich blood and nutrients throughout
your body. So then more blood needs to be delivered to the
tissues and this increased volume puts greater pressure on
the artery walls to get the job done. Being inactive leads
Making the Medicine Easier to Swallow
Parents have recently asked me a spoonful
of questions about how to get their
children to take pills or medicine. Let
me see if I can provide a few hints that will go
down easily.
First of all, be positive when giving medication
to your child. If you imply that taking
medicine is not a pleasant experience, your
child will feel the same way.
Check the flavor of a liquid medicine
before you agree to go that route versus a pill.
When giving a liquid to a young child, you
can use a medicine syringe or dropper. Just
squirt the medicine on one side of the mouth
to avoid taste buds on the tongue as much as
possible.
Giving your child a choice of how to take
the medicine may help. Numbing the taste
buds with a popsicle or ice chips can reduce
any sense of an unpleasant taste. Another idea
is to mix the medicine with a strong flavor
like chocolate pudding or vanilla yogurt,
applesauce or ice cream. (Just ask your child’s
health care professional first.)
Pills, for children who can take them, do
have their advantages. They don’t taste bad
when swallowed – without being chewed –
and are easier to take when traveling.
That being said, if you want your child to
learn to take a pill, practice before the real
situation presents itself. One method is to
have them practice with tiny, round pieces of
candy or cake decorations. Have them put
these in the center of their tongue and then
drink their favorite liquid through a straw. As
the liquid is swallowed, the pill goes down
too.
Work up to something the size of an M&M,
to higher heart rates. The higher the heart rate, the harder
the heart is working and the greater the force on the artery
walls. It has also been seen that smoking a cigarette can raise
the blood pressure for up to an hour following inhaling the
chemicals. Smoking also almost immediately narrows the
arteries, causing an increase in pressure in these vessels.
Salt naturally causes fluid retention and can increase the
workload of the kidneys, ultimately elevating blood pressure
for those who eat too much of it. Not having enough vitamin
D from the sun has also been shown to increase the blood
pressure, again through the kidneys’ work in the body. Many
of us realize stress is a factor in blood pressure levels, with
its effect on the nervous system and hormone levels.
Here are some commonly known tips, with relative reduction
in blood pressure numbers. These are actions that can
be taken with the goal of not depending on antihypertensive
medication:
• For every 20lbs of weight lost, you can drop your systolic
blood pressure 5-20 points.
• Quitting smoking can lower your blood pressure 5-10
points.
• Getting more exercise can lower your numbers 5-15 points.
• Decreasing caffeine intake lowers your diastolic pressure
by 4-13 points.
• Decreasing alcohol intake lowers your numbers 2-4 points.
• Avoiding all processed foods lowers your numbers 10
points.
• Decreasing salt intake or stopping altogether, up to 25
points.
• Eat more fruits and vegetables (how many times have you
seen this suggested for any illness, let’s all take this step this
year!)
• Use natural remedies like ginger, cardamom or hibiscus
tea, the herb cat’s claw, enzyme CoQ10, supplement with
vitamin D, eat more watermelon, use celery seed extract, use
flaxseed powder more regularly, even a small square of dark
chocolate has been shown to lower blood pressure.
• Use regular acupuncture as part of these changes to help
manage stress, improve blood circulation through the vessels,
and reduce blood pressure.
I encourage you to do your own research, talk to your primary
care provider, a naturopathic physician, a nutritionist,
and an acupuncturist, to learn more about these suggestions.
I hope you’re aware that you have some choices you can
make and some power over hypertension if you find your
blood pressure numbers to be in the upper ranges. What a
good time of year to take some steps toward better health!

• • • For
or similar-sized candy. Then they’ll be ready
for the real thing.
Some children like to play “Beat the clock.”
They enjoy having to take the pill against a
one- or two-minute timer to show they can do
this as quickly as possible.
Praise your child when they master taking
pills. Do not criticize them if they have trouble
with it. Be matter of fact, yet firm. Avoid
a negotiation that could take hours and lead to
a stressful situation.
Hopefully tips like these will be better than
a spoonful of sugar when making the medicine
go down.

GLAD’s transgender-rights project across New England. Each of
the seven characters’ stories deftly intertwines with the others, the
actors baring their souls to present the experiences of the interviewees,
as told in the interviewees’ own words. The one-act production
will be followed by a talkback including Mr. Lucas and the
actors, and then a reception to meet and greet the playwright and
the actors. Adults:$20 advance, $22/door. Students $15 advance,
$17 day of Tickets: 728-6464 or online at www.chandler-arts.

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

January 23 is
National Pie Day!
PIE FUN FACTS
Approx. $700 million in pies (approx. 186 million
units) are sold in grocery stores every year. This
does not include restaurants, food service or price
clubs, only grocery stores. If you lined up the number of pies
sold at U.S. grocery stores in one year, they would circle the
globe and then some.
According to a 2008 survey by Crisco® and American Pie
Council:
• Nearly one out of five (19%) of Americans prefer apple
pie, followed by pumpkin (13%), pecan (12%), banana cream
(10%) and cherry (9%)
• Pie just isn’t for after-dinner dessert. Thirty-five percent
of Americans say they’ve had pies for breakfast. Pies as
lunch (66%) and midnight snacks (59%) also have a popular
following.
Pumpkin pie was first introduced to the holiday table at the
pilgrim’s second Thanksgiving in 1623.
Pie was not always America’s favorite dessert – in the
19th Century, fruit pies were a common breakfast food eaten
before the start of a long day.
PIE BY THE NUMBERS
• 36 million Americans who identify apple pie as
their favorite
• 6 million American men ages 35-54 who have
eaten the last slice of pie and denied it
• 27% Americans believe chocolate pie is the most romantic
to share with someone special
• 1 in 5 Americans have eaten an entire pie by themselves
• 113 million Americans who have eaten pie for breakfast
• 75 million prefer to drink milk with their pie
• 32% prefer no crust on top of their pie
• 90% agree that a slice of pie represents one of the simple
pleasures in life
• 9% prefer to eat their pie crust-first
• 7% have passed off a store-bought pie as homemade
• 18% Men say their wife makes the best homemade pie
• 2% Women say their husband makes the best homemade pie

PET CARE CORNER | THE WORLD
6 reasons to spay or neuter pets now
Upon adopting a companion animal,
one of the fi rst decisions pet parents
should make, advise veterinarians
and animal welfare experts, is
to spay or neuter their new friend.
Homeless animals are a global problem. Overpopulation continues
to plague dogs and cats, and there are as many as 300,000
homeless animals euthanized in animal shelters every year, says
The Humane Society of the United States. While many would be
quick to assume these are puppies and kittens of “street” animals,
the society notes that euthanized animals are often the offspring of
family pets — even pure breeds.
Spaying females and neutering males is the most effective
method of birth control for these popular pets. Preventing unwanted
offspring might be the main reason many pet owners spay or neuter
their pets. But there are many additional reasons that make spaying
and neutering a good decision.
1. The ASPCA says spaying helps prevent uterine infections and
breast tumors that are malignant in roughly 50 percent of dogs and
90 percent of cats. Spaying before a cat’s first heat is ideal.
2. USA Today reports that neutered male dogs live 18 percent longer
than dogs that were not neutered, while spayed female dogs live
23 percent longer than those that are not spayed. Neutering reduces
the instinct to roam and get into trouble, which may contribute to
the longer life expectancy.
3. Neutering can help prevent testicular cancer in male pets.
4. Spayed females will not go into heat. During heat, which can
occur four to five days at a time every three weeks during mating
season, females may yowl and urinate around the house.
5. WebMD says non-neutered male dogs and cats may mark their
territory with urine and can be more aggressive during mating
seasons. Neutering can help calm the animals.
6. HSUS states that neutering and spaying is the best way to
prevent overpopulation and improves the chances that shelter pets
will be adopted.
Contrary to popular belief, spaying and neutering pets will
not cause weight gain. As long as pet parents continue to provide
exercise and control their pets’ diets, pets will remain fit and in
good health.
It’s best to discuss neutering and spaying with a veterinarian to
deterine the best time for pets to undergo the procedure. Many cats
and dogs can be successfully neutered and spayed at
Explore the reasons to purchase pet insurance
When it comes to their pets, many pet owners will go
to great lengths to ensure the comfort, happiness
and health of their animal companions. Advances
in veterinary care have helped pets live longer and healthier
lives than ever before.
An Associated Press survey found that 41 percent of pet
owners are extremely or somewhat worried they could not
afford the medical bills if their pets became ill. According
to the American Pet Products Association, pet owners spend
between $220 and $250 per year on average on routine well
vet visits for their cats and dogs. But unforseen surgeries
and emergencies can set pet owners back several thousand
dollars.
Some emergencies are far more costly than others. Veterinary
Pet Insurance says the average cost for a vet to extract
a dog’s tooth is $829. But repairing torn cartilage can cost
nearly $2,700.
Individuals with elderly pets or breeds prone to genetic
disorders may be wise to look into pet insurance to defray
some of their vet costs. Keep in mind that pet insurers are allowed
to refuse coverage for preexisting conditions and can
set annual limits and lifetime payout limits.
Here are some reasons why pet insurance can be a worthwhile
investment.
• Pet insurance typically allows policy holders to choose
their own veterinarians. Such policies do not typically
mandate that pets be taken to particular doctors to have their
costs covered.
• Pet insurance allows pet owners to make decisions based
on the best interest of the pet and not on their financial situations.
• Insurance offers peace of mind because many plans reimburse
up to 80 percent after deductibles are met. Some plans
even offer multipet discounts.
Pet insurance is a relatively new, but growing industry.
Veterinary Pet Insurance issued their first policy in 1982.
Consumers can now shop around and find the best options
for their needs.
Pet insurance is an option for pet owners who want to
provide for their companion animals. Such insurance can
be a sound financial decision that gives pet owners peace
of mind.
MAX
Max came to us when his human's circumstances
changed, and Max had no one to care for
him. He is a very happy guy, with lots of puppy
energy. He's very eager to learn, and is looking
for someone to help him learn his manners in a
fun, positive way! He already has a beautiful
sit, and has learned to hand target ("touch").
We don't have any information about his past
interactions with other dogs, cats, or children.
If you are looking for a fun dog, one you can
learn and grow with, Max could be the guy for
you! His adoption fee includes a 6-week Good
Manners training class.

Vermont Hunters Had Successful 2017 Deer Seasons
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife
Department says preliminary
numbers show 15,949 deer
were taken during Vermont’s
2017 deer hunting seasons.
Reports from big game check stations indicate hunters had
successful deer seasons in 2017, taking 3,585 deer in archery
season, 1,461 in youth season, 7,272 in rifle season, and 3,631
in muzzleloader season. The 15,949 deer brought home by
hunters yielded more than 3 million meals of local nutritious
venison.
“The legal buck harvest of 9,477 was 8 percent more than
the previous three-year average of 8,760, and the third highest
buck harvest since 2002,” said deer project leader Nick Fortin.
“Harvest numbers increased during the archery, youth and
muzzleloader seasons, and the total harvest of 15,949 is also
the third highest since 2002.
“The relatively high harvest was primarily due to the mild
winters of 2016 and 2017 which allowed more deer to survive.
Additionally, the department issued more muzzleloader
antlerless deer permits this year to provide more harvest
opportunity and to limit population growth in some parts of
the state.”
The primary goal of Vermont’s deer management strategy
is to keep the deer herd stable, healthy and in balance with
available habitat. “Maintaining an appropriate number of deer
on the landscape ensures deer and the habitats that support
them remain in good condition and productive,” said Fortin.
Each year the department operates biological check stations
during deer hunting seasons to gather information on the age,
sex, field dressed weight, antler characteristics, and overall
health of Vermont’s deer herd. In 2017, biological data were
collected from more than 1,200 deer examined during the
two-day youth season and November rifle season.

in 2017. Photo courtesy of VT Fish & Wildlife
To provide additional data, hunters submitted more than
2,800 teeth from bucks harvested during the rifle season.
Fortin adds, “The effort made by hunters and many of our big
game reporting stations to collect teeth during rifle season
will greatly improve our understanding of Vermont’s buck
population.”
The 2017 report on deer hunting seasons with final numbers
will be on Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s website (www.
vtfishandwildlife.com) in early February.

Vermont Fish & Wildlife
Grants Available to
Improve Shooting Ranges
Vermont Fish & Wildlife is offering shooting range
improvement grants to create more access to safe places to
shoot.
Developed to encourage upgrades of shooting ranges to
enhance their safety and operation, the Shooting Range
Improvement Grant Program seeks grant applications from
clubs and government agencies involved in the operation of
shooting ranges, including archery ranges until 4:30 p.m. on
March 15. The grant period begins July 1, 2018.
Eligible projects include shooting range re-development,
noise abatement structures, safety berms, shooting benches,
overhead shelters, and the construction or improvement of
access roads and parking lots. Grant money may also be used
for lead mitigation, such as recycling, reducing range floor
surface drainage or liming range property.
An estimated $60,000 in grant funds will be available this
year. These funds are derived through the U.S. Fish and
Wildlife Service Wildlife Restoration Program which is based
on federal excise taxes on hunting and shooting equipment.
Ranges that receive one of these grants must provide at
least 20 hours of public use per month when in operation and
be open at reasonable times for hunter education courses.
For further information or to download an application
SAVI
packet, visit the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department website
at www.vtfishandwildlife.com. Click on “Hunting and
Trapping,” and then on “Shooting Ranges in Vermont.” Or,
contact Daneil Pieterse at (802) 272-6923.

JANUARY BRIDAL DIRECTORY | THE WORLD
Wedding costs: What to expect
Newly engaged couples may
experience an array of emotions
when they sit down to plan
their weddings. Some couples
cannot wait to jump into planning and want
to catalog every aspect of the process,
while others may proceed with caution
because they don’t know what to expect —
particularly in regard to cost.
Many couples find it difficult to create their wedding budgets
because they have no previous experience to draw on.
The wedding planning advisor CostofWedding.com indicates
the average wedding cost in the United States is $26,720,
with most people spending between $20,000 and $34,000.
Seventh Heaven Event Catering states that, in Canada, the
average wedding costs around $30,000. Such costs can vary
greatly depending on couples’ preferences, including where
they hope to tie the knot.
By breaking down wedding expenses, couples can get a
clearer picture of how much they may need to pay for their
weddings and where they may need to cut costs.
• Reception site: According to The Knot, a premiere wedding
planning resource, couples can expect their receptions to
eat up the largest chunk of their wedding budgets. Wedding
reception venues may cost between $10,000 and $15,000.
The average price for catering per person is roughly $70. Bar
service may be around $2,000 for a three- to four-hour party.
Some reception sites combine the room cost with the food
and beverage costs, while others have à la carte fees.
• Cake: Wedding cakes tend to be multitiered intricate
designs, so they will cost more than birthday cakes. According
to Statistics Brain, wedding dessert will come in around
$390.
• Music: The Knot says wedding bands cost around
$3,500, which is more than twice as much as hiring a deejay
($1,200). Soloists or ceremony musicians may cost around
$650.
• Wedding planner: Many couples employ wedding planners
to make planning their weddings easier. Wedding planners
cost an average of $1,300, says Thumbtack, a company
that matches professionals with people who require their
services.
• Transportation: Limousines and other transportation
prices vary depending on the vehicle(s) couples choose.
The Knot notes that budgeting between $400 and $500 for
transportation might be wise.
• Wedding gown: Brides-to-be should expect their gowns
to cost around $1,100 and the veil or headpiece to be roughly
$120, according to the Association of Bridal Consultants.
• Photography and Video: Preserving wedding day memories
costs around $2,800 for video and photography services,
based on data from Statistics Brain.
The smaller details, such as accessories, gifts, officiant
fees, stationery, spa services, and favors can quickly add up
as well. Couples should be sure to leave some wiggle room
in their budgets for incidental expenses that may pop up.
