2018. The winning art entry for the promotional poster

Renters Insurance 101
When disaster strikes, it doesn’t care if you rent or own your
home. Renters face the same risks as homeowners. Your
landlord or condo association may have insurance, but it only
protects the building structure, not your personal items.
Renters Insurance will pay to replace your personal belongings such as furniture,
clothing, electronics etc. Many people do not realize the cost that it would
take to replace everything that they own, especially when you are trying to
replace it all at one time.
Most companies give you a discount on their Auto Insurance when you add a
renter’s policy to it, and in most cases it nearly pays for the Renter’s policy.
Personal Property Coverage:
Think of everything you own. The value of your belongings can quickly add
up. Personal property coverage, a typical component of renters insurance, may
help cover the cost of replacing your stuff if it’s unexpectedly damaged or ruined
such as fire and theft. So, if your computer and television are stolen, or your
furniture and clothing are destroyed by a fire, this coverage may help you pay for
the cost of replacing them. When purchasing a renters insurance policy, you may
face a few different choices. For instance:
• You’ll want to set coverage limits that are appropriate for your situation.
Creating a home inventory may help you assess the value of your belongings
and help you decide how much personal property coverage is right for you.
• Liability coverage is another protection offered in a renters insurance policy.
This coverage may help protect you from paying out of pocket for certain
costs if you are found legally responsible for injuries to other people or damage
to their property.
• You probably don’t expect an accident to occur, but if, for instance, your
child throws a ball through a neighbor’s window, or you’re held responsible
for medical bills after a guest trips and falls over something in your home or
apartment, liability coverage may help cover the costs.
• As with other coverages, limits apply to the amount a policy will pay out
after a covered loss. Read your policy to brush up on how much coverage it
provides and make sure it fits your needs. Your insurance agent can help you
adjust the limits if you decide you may benefit from additional coverage.
For further discussion on this topic or any other, please feel free to call me
anytime.

Vermont Youth Speak Out Against Flavored Tobacco
On February 6th, high school
students from across the state
marched to the Vermont
Statehouse and met with lawmakers
to speak out against the
dangerous influence flavored
tobacco has on Vermont’s kids
and teens.
The members of the youth-led
organization Our Voices Xposed
(OVX) come to Montpelier each
year to discuss the challenges
youth face in staying tobaccofree
in Vermont. The students -
representing 17 high schools -
followed the march with a rally
on the steps of the Statehouse
that was punctuated with speeches
by OVX members Emily
Dugan of Fair Haven High
School, Joseph Vineyard of St.
Johnsbury Academy, and Hawa
Adam from Burlington High
School. The student group was also introduced
on the floor of the House of
Representatives by So. Burlington
Representative Ann Pugh, and later met with
legislators, presenting displays and information
about how flavored tobacco products are
marketed to young Vermonters.
Based upon data from the Federal Trade
Commission, the tobacco industry spends an
estimated $17 million each year to market
products in Vermont - with flavors like cherry,
banana, chocolate, blueberry, and other candy
and fruit flavors that appeal directly to kids
and teens. In Vermont, more than 85 percent
of tobacco retailers sell at least one of these
flavored tobacco products. These products,
such as individually sold cigarillos (little
cigars), can cost very little to buy.
It’s the enticement of the flavors that concerns
Fair Haven student Emily Dugan. “My
little brother is 10 years old, meaning he’s
impressionable. He likes ‘yummy’ flavors, as
do so many other kids. Flavored tobacco just
gives Vermont youth a reason to try it,” Dugan
said.
Flavors in cigarettes have been banned
since 2009, but they are promoted in other
tobacco products, such as cigarillos, cigars,
dip, chew and e-cigarettes. According to
Spaulding sophomores Jada MacDonald and Madison
Henderson joined OVX (Our Voices Xposed) youth from across
Vermont at the Statehouse on February 6th to demonstrate their
concern about the dangers of flavored tobacco on Vermont’s
youth. OVX is Vermont’s youth-led movement to end the influence
of tobacco on kids and teens in Vermont.
Rhonda Williams, tobacco control chief at the
Vermont Department of Health, this marketing
works. “Youth consistently report flavors
as the leading cause for trying e-cigarettes and
cigars,” said Williams. “Our data show that
youth in Vermont are twice as likely as adults
to say they would try a flavored tobacco product
over a non-flavored one.”
Williams explained that the pervasiveness
of tobacco marketing that appeals to young
people is one reason the Health Department is
promoting its CounterBalance campaign.
“CounterBalance calls attention to the dangers
of flavored tobacco products, and helps educate
the public and policymakers about this
threat to the health and wellness of our kids
and teens.”
Hawa Adams, a student at Burlington High
School agrees with this focus. “I am concerned
about flavored tobacco because I’ve
witnessed its impact on my close family,
friends and community members. I do not
wish for it to continue to deceive millions
more. I do not want to see anyone else get
hurt.”

Vermont’s Top Youth Volunteers Of 2018
Selected By National Program
Samuel Grandfield, 18, of Waterbury, and
Ella Byers, 12, of Shelburne, were named
Vermont’s top two youth volunteers of 2018
by The Prudential Spirit of Community
Awards, a nationwide program honoring
young people for outstanding acts of volunteerism.
As State Honorees, Samuel and Ella
each will receive $1,000, an engraved silver
medallion, and an all-expense-paid trip in late
April to Washington, D.C., where they will
join the top two honorees from each of the
other states and the District of Columbia for
four days of national recognition events.
During the trip, 10 students will be named
America’s top youth volunteers of 2018.
Samuel Grandfield, who is Vermont’s 2018
High School State Honoree, was nominated
by Harwood Union High School in South
Duxbury. Samuel, a senior at Harwood Union,
has volunteered for the past two years to help
people in his community stay safe by serving
as a junior firefighter for his local fire department.
He was inspired to join the department
by his former middle school teacher, who
volunteered to fight fires despite a rare liver
• • •
disease that ended up taking her life.
“Her sense of duty and desire to help others
is what motivates me to this day to help others
and give back to my community,” said
Sam.
As a junior firefighter, Sam had to learn
about all of the equipment used in responding
to emergencies, and now has to train constantly
to stay fit and maintain required skills.
He has responded to numerous fires, ranging
from small stove fires to large structure blazes,
as well as several car accidents. Although
he is not allowed yet to enter a burning building,
he assists by managing fire hoses outside,
directing traffic, and cleaning and maintaining
equipment after calls. He also has taught
young people about fire safety at department
open houses, and helped clean chimneys for
community members. After hearing about
Sam’s experience as a firefighter, three of his
friends also joined the fire department. “Being
a firefighter isn’t just a project,” said Sam.
“It’s a commitment to serve your community,
to sacrifice for others.”

Bluegrass Greats, Hot Rize, Visit Barre Opera
House as Part of 40th Reunion Tour
Hot Rize, often called “America’s Bluegrass Band,” makes
a stop at The Barre Opera House as part of its 40th anniversary
reunion tour on Friday, February 16 at 7:30PM. The
show is sponsored by Rock of Ages.
It didn’t take long after Tim O’Brien, Pete Wernick, Nick
Forster, and Charles Sawtelle first appeared on stage together
in 1978 for the bluegrass music world to realize that the
Colorado band, Hot Rize, was something special. And by the
time they bowed off the stage as a full-time act in 1990, they’d
not only climbed to the top of that world as the International
Bluegrass Music Association’s very first Entertainers of the
Year, but their stature was recognized across the board, with a
nomination for a then-new bluegrass Grammy, a four-star
album review in Rolling Stone, tours across four continents,
and a legion of up-and-coming, broad-minded young musicians
ranging from String Cheese Incident to mando monster
Chris Thile learning their songs and singing their praises.
The reasons for the acclaim were, and remain, obvious.
Steeped in bluegrass tradition through long hours on the road
spent listening to the genre’s giants—their very name was a
knowing nod to Flatt & Scruggs’ long-time flour mill sponsor—Hot
Rize’s music was and is equally informed by a taste
for the music of Leadbelly and Freddie King, swing, old-time
Appalachia and more in ways that mirror the broad sweep of
Bill Monroe’s influences. And while their respect for tradition
was easy to hear (and, thanks to their suits and vintage neckties,
easy to see), the fresh elements they brought, whether in
Sawtelle’s guitar eccentricities or Wernick’s deployment of an
effects pedal on his banjo, were enough to earn them the suspicion
of some audience members—and the devotion of many
more.
So when Hot Rize retired, it was natural for members to go
on to distinguished careers of their own. However, Hot Rize
turned out to be the band that refused to disappear. Rare
reunion shows kept the flame burning, and when Sawtelle
passed away in 1999, the surviving members brought brilliant
guitarist Bryan Sutton on board—himself an already-acknowledged
master—and carried on with occasional appearances,
bringing their classic songs and captivating stage show to new
generations.
In 2014, Hot Rize released their much-anticipated studio
album, the first in 24 years, and this year they’re celebrating
their 40th anniversary with a reunion tour, 30 years after their
last performance here at The Barre Opera House.
This crazy thing happens when you hire Hot Rize – everywhere
they go, the ever-popular Red Knuckles & The
Trailblazers shows up as well. Invited or not, at some point

Old Dogs New Tricks at the Music Box
A new duo, Old Dogs New Tricks, will bring their tricks to
the Music Box in Craftsbury on Saturday, Feb. 17 at 7pm.
Jim Howe and Mark Davis were struck by Pete Seeger’s
charge to sing out and sing in community. They hadn’t really
thought they were going to start playing music out in public
but soon with guitar (Davis) and cello (Howe) accompaniment,
they started getting gigs. The duo will sing original
compositions written over the past three years as well as other
tunes. One of their original tunes is “Planting Trees,” which
is an uplifting song about what each person can do to improve
the lives of others.
Mark Davis and Jim Howe met in 2001, introduced by
mutual friends. Jim was a longtime Hastings, NY resident and
well-known as the author of the children’s classic Bunnicula,
The Misfits, and dozens of picture books, middle grade
books, and young adult novels. Mark lived in Brooklyn, practicing
law with his friend John Engel, who happened to be one
of the instigators of the blind date that led to the Howe-Davis
union. You can find out more about them and listen to some
tunes at https://www.jameshowe.com/music/. For more information

African American community. But it was
through her Political Education class that
Alice’s had her most significant impact. Over
a four year period, thousands were trained to
work in independent political campaigns.

“A.J.” Our Angel Baby
A.J. would have celebrated his
third birthday on Tuesday, Feb. 6.
His tragic drowning last summer
left all in a state of devastation.
The following letter written by his
foster father, Scott Hawkins, was
read at A.J.’s memorial service.
I remember the first night I met
A.J. DCF had called and said
they were bringing over a sixmonth
old little boy. It was late
when they walked through the
door with a very tired and scared little man. For whatever
reason, the lady holding him walked across the room and
handed him to me. I felt the connection in an instant and
I know he did also. From that moment forward, I became
A.J.’s dad and he became my best little friend.
A.J. started with us before he could even crawl. I can
still see him dragging himself across our floor as he got
himself where he wanted to go, when he wanted to go
there. I was able to watch him grow into a fearless twoand-a-half
year old that always wanted to go where he
wanted to go.
Everyone who knew A.J. knows that he has the
strongest personality you ever met. He had a temper like
you wouldn’t believe. He was the most stubborn kid I
have ever met. When he decided something it was darn
near impossible to convince him of anything else. For
A.J., it was his way or not at all!
But A.J. loved just as fiercely. Whether I was getting
home from work, or picking him up from Turtle Island,
the second he spotted me, with a scream of “Daddy!” he
would run to me as fast as he could. He loved his hugs,
he loved his kisses, followed by “La you Daddy,” and
off he would go. He loved to cuddle when he was tired
and just watch to world move around him. His favorite
time of day was bedtime. Every single night he was held
and rocked to sleep by his mom, and he adored that time
with her.
For those of you who know me, you know that I have
seen a lot in this world. I have seen and done things that
no man should ever have to do. I am intimately familiar
with Death. War has been my everlasting companion for
many years. I believed that after surviving these things,
nothing could get to me or hurt me more.
I was wrong.
I cannot even begin to describe or explain the immense
pain that I feel inside of me. It is all powerful; bearing
down on me with such force that I literally cannot breathe
at times. I can be OK for moments and then in an instant
I am reduced to a sobbing mess. I would gladly suffer
a thousands more Afghanistans if my A.J. could come
back to us.
I don’t know how, or if I will ever, recover from this
loss. It is not something I can see now. I will miss our
Sunday morning trips to Burger King (A.J. absolutely
loved BK hash browns); I will miss him taking off my
hat, throwing it on the floor and then laughing like crazy.
I will miss singing our song to him. I will miss a thousand
things about A.J.
I hope to God that wherever A.J. is, that he is happy
and that he still gets to spend some time with us. He was
loved here, with everything we had. Until I see you again
buddy, I want you to know it was an honor to be your
daddy. We love you so, so much.

Olive Romerio Franzi
Olive Romerio Franzi, 97, a lifetime
Montpelier resident, passed away peacefully
at the Gary Residence, on Tuesday,
February 6, 2018. She was known and
loved by many as “Zia”.
Olive was born on September 19,
1920, the daughter of Carlo and Elisa
(Fornarelli) Romerio.
She was proud of her Italian heritage
and loved to share stories of her formative
years growing up on Sibley Avenue.
She was inquisitive, loved school, and graduated proudly
when she attained Montpelier High School’s Silver M.
Olive was a loyal employee with an exemplary work ethic.
She began working at Jackson’s Pharmacy while a junior in
high school. After graduation she worked for the Montpelier
Public School before joining Green Mountain Power
Corporation in 1941. She retired from her position at Green
Mountain Power in Burlington as Administrative Assistant to
the President on May 1, 1986, after completing 45 years of
dedicated service.
Following her retirement, Olive enjoyed volunteering her
time with the Vermont Historical Society, the Montpelier
Food Pantry and the Central Vermont Medical Center. In
2004, she received the Central Vermont Council on Aging’s
“Successful Aging Senior of the Year Award”. In 2008,
Governor Jim Douglas presented Olive with the Governor’s
Outstanding Community Service Award.
She was a member of the Bethany United Church of Christ,
the Evening Club, the Women of Bethany, the Montpelier
Emblem Club #369, the Vermont Historical Society, the
Montpelier Historical Society, the Barre Historical Society,
and forever held the TTM Club near and dear to her heart.
Olive traveled to Las Vegas, Hawaii and Italy and enjoyed
taking short bus trips with friends, but was happiest spending
time with family and friends at camp on Peacham Pond in the
beautiful mountains of Vermont, her home. She also especially
liked attending chicken pie suppers in the fall.
On May 21, 1949, she married Gino C. Franzi of Barre, VT.
Her dear Gino passed away on January 2, 1961, but she
remained devoted to him for the duration of her life. She was
also predeceased by a brother, Libero Nicolino and his wife
Pace (Cardini) Nicolino, a nephew, Ronald Nicolino, grandnephew
Richard Nicolino, and great-grandnephew Thomas
Dion.
Though Olive did not have children, she was a warm, caring
presence and “mother” to many. She leaves a nephew,
Robert A. Nicolino and his partner Jane Senna of Barre;
nieces, Elisabeth (Nicolino) and Armand Dion of Barre and
Claudia (Nicolino) and Kenneth Fritjofson of Orange; great
niece, Rhonna (Nicolino) Gable of Plainfield as well as many
other great nieces and nephews, and dear friends of a variety
of ages.
Olive was bright, engaging, independent and spirited; but
kindness and generosity were her greatest gifts to others.
Olive meant so much to so many. She will be dearly missed
by all who shared her light.
Please honor our Zia Olive by doing an act of kindness of
your choice.
A memorial service was held 11:00 am on Saturday,
February 10th at the Guare & Sons Funeral Home with a
reception to follow.

Entrepreneurship Is Alive and Well In Central Vermont
By William D. Moore,
President & CEO
Every day, we hear of a new small
business start-up, whether it is a restaurant,
a business or personal service
provider, a new technology firm, a
micro-brewery, or a bricks and mortar
retailer. Each of these have several
things in common: they are all eager to
succeed; they all have a web presence;
and they are innovative and creative.
The list goes on. Importantly, carving out a niche is another
similarity and an important key to entrepreneurial survival.
One of the most essential elements of entrepreneurism is
being able to put a vision on paper. In other words, before
anything else, successful entrepreneurs create a business plan.
A sound business plan is vital. It answers the questions that
entrepreneurs ask themselves as they consider starting their
business.
Whether the entrepreneur is creating a new business or
buying an existing business or franchise, having a sound business
plan is the most important first step.
The business plan must be able to address basic questions.
What is the product? Why is it unique? Is there a market for
the product or service? What is the market? How many competitors
will I be facing? Who are they? Where are they?
Does the product require manufacturing? If it is a service
Doing unto Others
By G. E. Shuman
There is a small favor, sort of, that I
like to do for some of my neighbors
this time of year. I’m not going to
mention what it is specifically, as that
thing that I do is not the real point here.
The point is, as I mentioned, that I ‘like’ to do this particular
thing. It gives me pleasure to help them out in this way. I
can’t say that this pleasure is more than if someone gave me a
lot of money or did something else ‘big’ in my life, but it is
pleasure worth mentioning. It’s sort of a pleasure somewhere
between that of receiving a coffee shop gift card from someone,
and of finding a one-hundred-dollar bill on the sidewalk.
And it’s actually a different thing than what those pleasures
would be; it’s better, somehow. Yes, it’s even better than the
hundred-dollar bill. Helping someone, even if only a little,
gives you more of a ‘warm’ feeling than one of being more or
less happy to be on the receiving end of a gift. That’s the idea
of the old saying, “It’s better to give than to receive.”
The admonition to “Do unto others as you would have them
do unto you” is not just some command to help other people
out. To me, it’s an actual secret to happiness. It adds a lot to a
person’s, to the giver’s internal contentment. At least, it’s been
proven to be that for me.
My memory of things that happened to me as a child seems
much better than of things that happened yesterday, somehow.

being created, what are the individual elements of the service?
How long will it take until the product or service will be ready
to take to market? How will the business be financed?
The business plan should clearly spell out who the players
involved with the enterprise are and what their individual
responsibilities will be. It is at this point that reality may
begin to set in.
It is likely that the venture will initially be a one-person
operation. Creating structure and operating steps will help
keep the entrepreneur focused on what must be done to succeed.
If there is more than one individual involved, it is vital
that each of the players’ roles be defined. While you are at it,
consider how final decisions will be made. Who makes
them?
Included in the business plan is a detailed marketing strategy.
How will the goods or services be sold? Who is the
market segment that you are aiming to reach? What steps will
be used for market optimization? Having a web presence and
using social media is important. Simply posting something to
the various platforms, however, may not necessarily bring
customers to your doorstep, whether it is a physical or virtual
doorstep.
Not to be forgotten in the business plan is the calculation of
your start-up costs. Starting, owning and operating a business
costs money. Bootstrapping – self-funding is one means of
financing the business.
One of those old memories is of a short conversation I once
had with my dad. Dad was always doing things for other
people, it seemed. My parents had six children, and all of us
were a challenge in one way or another. Then, when the older
kids became young adults and started getting married, the
challenges for my mom and dad only increased, I’m sure.
Grandkids started coming along and it seemed that both of my
parents were busy all the time, helping someone. My Mom
still is about that task. She will be 94 in a few days and still
visits the nursing home to help “the old people” (her words).
As I remember it, the conversation with Dad took place
one summer day, as he and I were walking up the hill of our
old homestead’s back lawn, toward the garden. I was asking
Dad some question that I don’t remember now at all, regarding
whether I should do something that someone else had
asked me to do. His nearly immediate reply was simply this:
“If you can do something for someone… do it.” There was no
hesitation or explanation in his immensely wise remark, and it
was one that I think I will always remember.
People who receive a small favor, a small gift, or an
immense fortune from someone else are blessed by the thing
that they receive. People who are on the giving end, the ‘doing
unto others’ side of the deal, are blessed even more, and in a
much more profound way. Thanks for cluing me in on this
Mom and Dad.

Pat McDonald and Ben Kinsley, co-hosts
of “Vote for Vermont,” were joined by
Dean George, Chair of the Vermont
Parole Board on a recent show. If you are like
Ben and Pat, you know very little about the Vt.
Parole Board. First its Chair, Dean George, is
a retired Captain from the Vermont State
Police, former State Representative from
Middlebury, and former member of the
Middlebury Select board. Dean was appointed
by Governor Jim Douglas as a member of the
Board and named chair the following year.
The Parole Board is an independent entity that considers
eligible offenders for parole. It renders just decisions by balancing
victim needs and the risk to the public safety while
promoting offender accountability and success. While independent,
the Parole Board is located within the Agency of
Human Services for funding and administrative purposes.
When Dean joined the Board, there were issues surrounding
training and qualifications and the Board was lacking a
detailed policies and procedures manual. Dean set about correcting
these deficiencies. New members are sent to training
compliments of the Federal Government and Dean worked
with a group to write a very comprehensive Manual which
has been finalized and made available on line.
The Board handles 1,000 to 1,200 hearings a year held at
16 sites throughout Vermont. When an inmate is provided a
minimum and maximum sentence, everyone is eligible for
parole once they have reached their minimum date. The
Board encourages all inmates to meet with them even if they
are not ready for parole just to know what they should be
doing to prepare for parole.
As members of the Board prepare for their parole hearings,
they read the inmates file and prepare and use a risk evaluation
tool to assess high/low/medium risk. This, and the interview
process helps them to establish any individual restrictions
which are put in place to ensure a successful integration
into the community for the parolee. They take into consideration
such factors as age, whether they have a job, history,
and family support. Dean said that the Board encourages
victims to participate in the parole hearing process. Hearings
are open to the public. They go into a closed session when
they are ready to deliberate on whether to grant a parole or
not. Once the decision is made they announce and explain
the decision in public. If parole is denied, the inmate through
his/her case worker may apply to appear before the Board
again. There is no time limit. When a parolee has violated the
terms of his/her parole, he/she has to appear before the parole

Health Care Advocate Releases
Affordability Report
The Office of the Health Care Advocate (HCA) has released
a report demonstrating the affordability crisis that Vermonters
face when purchasing health insurance and health care. In the
paper, “The Cost of Health Insurance: Quantifying the
Vermont Affordability Crisis,” the HCA assesses the affordability
of health insurance on Vermont Health Connect and
shows that many Vermonters cannot afford health insurance.
The HCA’s paper demonstrates that unaffordability is both
quantifiable and measurable, and that health insurance plans
offered on Vermont Health Connect are unaffordable to a wide
range of Vermonters. Together, the HCA’s three methodologies
reveal the severity of the health care affordability crisis
in Vermont.
Chief Health Care Advocate Mike Fisher said “as health
care costs rise, many Vermonters must make the heart-breaking
choice between paying for health care and paying for
basic needs like food and housing. This is particularly relevant
given the Governor’s budget proposal to increase out of
pocket costs for low income families by cutting the Vermont
Cost Sharing Reduction.” The HCA has helped Vermonters
with health care issues, including affordability, since 1998.
Every day, Vermonters tell the HCA stories of struggling to
pay health insurance and health care costs. An advocate with
the HCA described, “I recently spoke with a woman who had
an unexpected health emergency. After she and her husband
paid her ER bills and paid for his regular medication, the family
couldn’t afford their premiums anymore. They lost their
health insurance.” This is not an uncommon scenario for
Vermonters, many of whom cannot afford their premiums, out
of pocket health care costs, or both.
In its paper, the HCA presents three different ways of
examining and quantifying health insurance affordability in
Vermont’s individual market. First, the HCA compares the
cost of health insurance to Vermont wage and economic
growth and demonstrates that health insurance costs have
outpaced these macroeconomic indicators.
Second, the HCA uses a rule-based model that includes
premium affordability standards codified in the Affordable
Care Act and the deductible affordability standard used in the
Vermont Household Health Insurance Survey. This model
demonstrates that large segments of Vermont’s population
have health care premiums and deductibles that they cannot
afford.
Third, the HCA uses a market-based model that evaluates
whether Vermont families can afford health insurance and
health care and still be able to purchase basic necessities such
as food, clothing, transportation, and housing. This model
demonstrates that many Vermonters with a wide range of
incomes are unable to pay for the basic necessities of life,
including health insurance, without spending more than they
earn. Many Vermonters have to make painful decisions about
which necessities to forego.
“A Vermont family of four making $35,000 could find
themselves more than $25,000 short after paying for their
basic needs for the year,” Fisher stated. “Even Vermont families
with moderate incomes may find themselves without
enough money to cover their basic needs.” The HCA’s paper
shows that this is because of the high cost of health insurance
and other necessities, and the sharp drop-offs in federal and
state assistance that occur at certain in e levels.
The Office of the Health Care Advocate (HCA) helps
Vermont consumers with a broad range of problems and questions
related to health care services and health insurance. The
HCA acts as a voice and advocate for consumers in health
care policy matters before the Vermont legislature and government
agencies that oversee insurance and health care programs.
The Office of the Health Care Advocate is a project of
Vermont Legal Aid.
Vermont Legal Aid (VLA) is a nonprofit law firm that provides
legal advice and services to individuals and families
throughout Vermont who are facing a civil legal problem that
threatens their rights, shelter, job, health or well-being. VLA
began serving clients in 1968.

WHAT ARE YOUR KIDS DOING THIS SUMMER?
Tips on Finding the Right Summer Camp for Your Child
It’s that time of the year again — the time
for researching and choosing an exciting
summer camp-experience for your
child. The summer months are long, and
enrolling your child in a structured program
is a great way for him or her to stay busy.
Better Business Bureau Serving Eastern MA,
ME, RI, & VT (BBB) offers tips on fi nding a
summer camp that both you and your child
will agree on.
•Find a camp that you can trust. Visit the American Camp Association
for accredited camps that have met up to 300 nationally recognized
standards. In addition, look up a camp’s Business Profile on
bbb.org for reviews and ratings, or search for an accredited day-camp
near you.
•Research a typical daily schedule. Many camps provide a schedule
of what a typical day would look like for the campers on their website
or location office. Note the camp’s hours, variety of activities,
staffing details, and meal plans.
•Health & safety rules. Research the medical facilities and procedures
of the camp. What are the safety rules and how are they
enforced? What happens in the event of an emergency? Look for a
camp that has a nurse or health office on site or nearby in case a child
becomes sick or needs special accommodations.
•Make a visit. Before submitting a deposit, it is always a good idea to
visit the camp site in person. Take this opportunity to introduce yourself
to the staff and ask any questions about the hiring and training
process and the typical campers-to-staff ratio each session. A visit
will also provide you with the opportunity to become acquainted
with the living, eating, and recreational facilities.
•Budget and plan. Make sure to ask about fees and payment deadlines.
Find out if your deposit is refundable, if financial aid is available, and
if there are any extra charges for specific activities or accommodations.
If dropping and picking up your child might be a problem with
your schedule, look for a camp that provides transportation.

WHAT ARE YOUR KIDS DOING THIS SUMMER?
How to keep kids engaged over school breaks
Children in North America will spend, on average, more
than 900 hours attending school in a given year. The average
school year in the United States lasts 1,016 hours, the
equivalent of 42 continuous days. According to the Organization
for Economic Cooperation and Development, many
developed countries begin their academic years in September
and end them in June. Some, like Australia, feature four
terms with two-week breaks in between each term. Others go
to school for most of the year — with various holiday breaks
in between — and then get the bulk of their time off during
the summer.
As much time as kids spend in school, there will be times
when they are left to their own devices, and during these
times it’s easy for them to forgot classroom lessons. Sometimes
called “summer learning loss” or “summer slide,” this
forgetfulness sees many students fail to retain all of their
lessons over prolonged breaks from school. Studies indicate
that students score lower on standardized tests at the end of
the summer compared to their performance on the same tests
at the beginning of summer. Anywhere from between one to
three month’s worth of educational achievement can dissipate
during prolonged breaks from the classroom. To help ensure
that those hard-earned lessons are not so easily forgotten,
parents can help children remain intellectually engaged in
various ways over school breaks.
• Stick to a schedule. Try to maintain a schedule similar to
school, with children waking at the same time each day and
going to bed at similar hours. This will make it much easier
to get back into a routine when a new school year begins.
• Encourage reading. Set aside time for reading each day.
All it generally takes is 15 to 30 minutes of reading per day
for kids to remember their vocabulary lessons and maintain
their fluency and comprehension skills. Children may enjoy
picking their own books rather than having a required reading
list.
• Keep a math book handy. On long car trips or rainy days,
children can do a few math problems to keep their skills
sharp. This will help keep learning loss to a minimum. Math
workbooks may be available at bookstores, or parents can
look online or ask a teacher for a summer to-do packet.
• Plan educational trips. Vacations and day trips can be fun,
entertaining and educational all at the same time. Science
centers, museums and living history locations can bring to
life information learned in the classroom, even on family
vacations.
• Learn at camp. Many children attend camp for a portion
of their school breaks. Look for camps that do not simply
babysit children, but engage them through enrichment activities.
• Take a class. Children and families can learn together by
exploring new skills. Enroll in something educational and
enjoyable, such as a music or dance class, a STEM seminar
or something else that engages the mind and body. This gives
everyone a chance to learn something new and have a great
time together as a family.

SENIOR LIVING GUIDE | COMMUNITY
Try Hosting ‘Family’ Dinners
Food is often the
heart of any
community. Getting
together to break
bread allows for
special time to form
new relationships
and nurture
continuing bonds.
This can be especially
rewarding for seniors, who are
at highest risk for eating
alone. Hosting “family” dinners
every week is a great way
to not only chase away feelings
of loneliness, but also
beef up your recipe arsenal.
SHARE MEALS
Get your friends and neighbors
together and begin hosting
family dinners. You can
decide to host every week, or
you could set up a rotation so
that others have the opportunity
to host.
You might even find that a
group of you meet every week
in the summer and hit the
farmer’s markets together.
SWAP RECIPES
Hosting family dinners
among your community also
introduces you to new types
of meals. Each week the dinner
host could write out the
recipes for each dish in the
meal for guests to take home.
You can plan menus in
advance and post them in a
communal area (or email
them out) to boost excitement.
Just be sure to be mindful
of any allergies guests may
have, and while not a requirement,
it is thoughtful to avoid
ingredients toward which any
your “family” has strong aversions.
FLEX YOUR
‘IRON CHEF’ MUSCLES
If you enjoy a little friendly
competition, you might find
that introducing some “Iron
Chef” magic into your family
dinners will add a new level of
merriment among guests.
Maybe once a month — after
your weekly dinners have
been well established — your
group could organize a competition.
Don’t be intimidated by odd
ingredients. You could pick a
well-known and well-liked
dish, such as chili or spaghetti,
and choose two members
of your group for a cook-off.
By choosing only two, you
keep the amount of food limited,
ensuring none is wasted.

SENIOR LIVING GUIDE | VOLUNTEERING
Benefits of Volunteering
Volunteering can be one of the most rewarding experiences
for seniors. While monetary donations are always
appreciated by organizations, often what is needed most
is time.
Not only is it enjoyable, but giving of
one’s time has many physical, mental and
psychological advantages.
Strengthens Physical
Health
Physical activity and exercise are essential
components in positive health. Many
volunteer opportunities offer a physically
active component to them — everything
from stuffing envelopes to staffing events.
Maintaining a healthy fitness level is
essential especially for seniors to help keep
your immune system strong and prevent
diseases.
Strengthens
Psychological Health
Volunteering has been shown to diminish
feelings of isolation and prevent
depression. Volunteering provides seniors a
reason for leaving their homes — an activity
many older generations resist doing for
a number of reasons.
One of the most rewarding aspects of
volunteering is meeting new people and
forming new relationships. You never
know who you might meet and who you
might help.
Strengthens Mental Health
Volunteering works to keep your brain
active, which is just as important as
physical activity. The National Institute on
Aging reports that participating in meaningful
activities, and nurturing feelings of
productivity, lowers the risk of dementia,
among other health problems.
Enriches Your Time
People who volunteer often feel more
confident and hold a higher self-worth
because they feel they contribute value to
their broader community, according to a
study out of Wharton College.
No matter what you choose to devote
your time to, the important aspects to keep
in mind are to find events and organizations
that suit your schedule, and help a
cause you feel passionate about.
Both of these factors will affect your
commitment to volunteering, and your
impressions of volunteering as a whole.

SENIOR LIVING GUIDE | FINANCES
Padding Your Retirement
If you are preparing to retire, you likely have thought about the state of your finances.
Not only do you need to be sure your monthly expenses are covered, but you will
want to indulge in other activities now that you have more time to enjoy them.
Below are a few points to
consider as you assess your
financial security. Be sure to
talk them over with your local
financial services representative
to make sure they are
applicable to your particular
situation.
DOWNSIZE YOUR
LIVING SPACE
One of the quickest and
most efficient ways to beef up
your savings is to downsize
your living space. This could
mean selling your current
home for a much smaller
home or a home of similar size
in a less expensive area.
You will be free to put any
earnings from the sale into savings,
or into your new home,
reducing or eliminating your
mortgage. According to the
2013 Moss National Money
and Happiness Study, those
happiest in retirement either
did not have a mortgage or
were within eight years of paying
it off.
Less space also means less
space to put things — which
means you will be buying less,
as well.
ASK AN EXPERT
Finding a good financial
advisor can make a world of
difference in meeting your
financial goals. You will want to
choose someone who is qualified
and experienced, and
holds the proper certifications
for your needs.
Be sure to shop around
before committing to one. It is
perfectly acceptable to simply
take a meeting; do not feel
pressured to make decisions in
that first meeting. They should
be trying to learn as much
about you as you are about
them.
Take recommendations from
other people with a grain of
salt. Friends and family members’
experiences might be a
good indicator of how the professional
approaches client
service, but often, your friends
do not have your exact financial
needs.

great way to add structure to

SENIOR LIVING GUIDE | HOME
Considering Assisted Living
An assisted living facility is a residence hall for individuals who may need
extra care with daily activities, such as medication, meal preparation
and household chores, but do not need the full care of a nursing home.
They often feel like small
apartments, as most residences
require residents to bring
their own furnishings and
belongings, but can be a better
option for some seniors
because of the oversight and
security they provide.
How is this different from a
nursing home?
Nursing homes are designed
for seniors who require daily
care by a medical professional
(those not just taking medication).
These facilities have nursing
staff working 24 hours of every
day, and often offer occupational
and physical therapies
to help meet their residents’
needs.
How much does is cost?
Cost will vary from residence
to residence. Things like
amenities, level of care, desired
room size, location and location
will all factor into monthly
costs. However, it is safe to
consider a monthly range of
$1,500 to $6,000 per month.

What services are available?
Again, this will vary with
each facility, but here are a few
services most commonly
found in assisted living residences:
• Two or three meals per
day;
• Medication management;
• Regular hosted events for
wellness, socializing and devotional
services;
• Outings in the community,
such as shopping, in the residence
van;
• Housekeeping; and
• Security.
What are the requirements
to live in an assisted living
facility?
Because assisted living facilities
are not nursing homes,
there are base requirements
for admittance. An assisted living
center cannot admit someone
who does not meet these
requirements unless the residence
is specifically certified
to meet specific needs.
According to the Assisted
Living Facilities Organization,
base requirements include:
• Residents generally do not
have a medical condition that
will require 24-hour medical
care;
• Residents are not a threat
to themselves or others;
• Residents are free of communicable
disease and have
generally stable health; and
• Residents do not chronically
need help from another
person to walk or descend
stairs.

Stay
Active
Being mindful of
your body is
essential as you age
— at every age.
However, as you get older,
you may find you cannot
engage in some activities with
the same ease or level of
comfort you once were able
to.
Here are a few strategies for
staying fit as you navigate the
capabilities of your changing
body.
JOIN A GYM
While the prospect of a
gym can be intimidating for
seniors, becoming a member
can have multiple benefits.
You will have access to various
equipment that will allow
you to focus on the areas that
feel most comfortable for
you.
Just want to walk? Hop on a
treadmill, or log a few laps on one activity. Yoga classes are
an indoor track. Do your feet great because they are low

your mind and body with which make it harder to blow
time and day each week,
off “getting to the gym.”
EAT RIGHT
Part of staying fit is practicing
a healthy diet. The wrong
types of foods — those with
loads of processed sugars, all
fried or high in salt — can
slow you down and make you
feel tired.
Eating right is not about
diet but nutrition. Seniors
might find they excel when
they eat several smaller meals
rather than three larger ones.
When you eat healthy, you
will find you have more energy
to engage in activities you
enjoy and pursue an active
lifestyle.
© ADOBE STOCK
DON’T OVERDO IT
Adults over 60 are the most
likely to suffer from dehydration,
which is a leading cause
in the development of kidney
stones, chronic constipation
and impaired cognitive function.
And yet, taking a drink of
water is one of the most overlooked
tasks. Remember to
bring a bottle of water with
you — not just when you
engage in physical activity.
Make it a habit.
If you are tech savvy, you
might consider downloading
an app for tracking your water
intake, which also will help
you keep a recorded history of
your water consumption.

SENIOR LIVING GUIDE | HOBBIES
Get Creative
Seniors thrive when they are actively engaged — especially in any activity that allows them to think and
behave creatively. In fact, according to Today’s Geriatric Medicine, creative art pursuits offer many benefits
to older adults, including enhanced cognitive function and reduced feelings of depression and anxiety.
Many creative pursuits are
particularly suited for seniors
because they allow you to
engage at your own pace.
Find an activity that excites
you and follow that passion.
VISUAL ARTS
There is a lot encompassed
in visual arts — everything
from painting and drawing to
sculpture, pottery and design.
This means there is a lot of
room for you to try several
things and introduce yourself
to new mediums.
Add a bottle of wine and a
few friends, and you might
have found your newest
hobby.
COOKING
Food is good for the soul,
and cooking it is good for the
mind — and stomach.
Cooking can be as creative
and experimental as you
allow it to be.
Try new things on your own
from books you own, or borrow
from the public library, or
join a class. One of the great
things about cooking is that
you can start at any age, at
any level. Just want to learn
the basics? There is a class for
that. Always wanted to try
your hand at Thai food? There
is a cookbook for that.
Has it been your dream to
test out delicate French pastries?
There is no doubt a
neighborhood full of willing
test subjects to taste your creations.
MUSIC AND THEATER
Whether you want to participate
or listen, you can find
composition to suit every
mood, and can engage with
music all year round. Go to
concerts or attend performances
hosted by your local
playhouse.
Music has been found to
stimulate the brain and memory.
According to a recent
study published in Hearing
Journal, adults ages 60 to 85
without previous musical
experience exhibited
improved processing speed
and memory after just three
months of weekly 30-minute
piano lessons.
© ADOBE STOCK
Involvement in participatory
arts has been shown to
have a positive impact on
mental and physical health of
senior adults, regardless of
skill lever or past experience.
So get out of your comfort
zone and try something new.

Writing Your Memoir
We all have a
story to tell;
consider putting
yours in writing.
Following are six tips for
writing your memoir.
MEMOIR V.
AUTOBIOGRAPHY
An autobiography is the
story of your entire life. A
memoir is one story from your
life. It is fine if you wish to write
your autobiography, but
remember, there is only one;
you can write multiple memoirs.
Memoirs also can feel more
compelling because they reveal
a glimpse of your life, rather
than expose the entirety of it.
START WITH A DIAGRAM
You might find you can’t
think of a single aspect of your
life you find “interesting
enough.” Alternatively, you
may find you are having a difficult
time narrowing your memoir
down to just one story.
Diagramming, or plot charting,
your life can help with this.
Draw a line on a piece of
paper and jot down defining
moments, rites of passage and
other poignant happenings
you’ve had. If you perform this
task honestly, a moment will
often enough stare back at you
from the page.
DON’T START
AT THE BEGINNING
The most compelling stories
are often not told
chronologically. Your first
draft might happen this way,
but frequently, where we start
is not the beginning. Think
about which part of the story
will draw the reader in, and
then tie it in to the beginning
and end.
WRITE REGULARLY
Remember, sometimes you
have to write the bad words
in order to arrive at the good
ones. It is important to write
a lot and write often. Writing
is like much else in life: To
improve, we must practice.
ACCEPT YOUR TRUTH
It will be tempting at times,
but resist straying from the
truth.
The truth can be elusive
and the memory is not always
reliable. Truth is not objective
and has many sides.
But sticking to “your side”
of it, and resisting the embellishments
will make for a better
story. Don’t let yourself
confuse the uncomfortable
feeling of being vulnerable
with “bad writing” or the
safety that comes with fiction
as “sound writing.”
© ADOBE STOCK
LET GO OF THE
PERFECT DRAFT
You will not arrive at all of
these things the first time out.
You must first get everything
out on the page. Don’t worry,
there will be plenty that you
don’t end up using.
A memoir is not a puzzle in
which you must use every
piece. It is, rather, the cream
that is separated from the milk.

CVHHH Helps Central Vermonters Manage Their Heart Disease
Central Vermont Home Health &
Hospice recognizes the impact that
heart disease, which is the second
leading cause of death for Vermonters,
has on families.

MONTPELIER

This is why CVHHH is committed to helping individuals
who are living with chronic conditions achieve the best possible
health and quality of life. In honor of American Heart
Month, CVHHH is sharing one patient’s story that showcases
how, through collaboration, education, and utilizing technology,
one central Vermonter can manage his heart disease and
continue to live safely at home with his wife of 57 years.
Meet James. James and his wife, Marilyn, live in Barre.
They met almost 60 years ago when they both worked at
Central
Market on Summer Street. James had a long career working
in the local granite industry and as a foreman. Marilyn
worked for many years in town at a dry cleaner, and for the
past 37 years she has driven a school bus. In the late 1980s,
James had a heart attack and triple bypass surgery. Along the
way, he’s developed a number of conditions that compromise
his health, including COPD, though he quit smoking 30 years
ago.
After developing pneumonia at the end of last year, James
was admitted to the hospital. When he was ready to be
discharged, James’s physician sent him home with a referral
for home health services and a request for a telemonitor. Telemonitors
are digital, tablet-sized devices that allow patients
to record their vital signs (blood pressure, blood oxygen,
heart rate, weight) and symptoms (via healthrelated question
sets) and transmit the data directly to the Telehealth Nurse at
CVHHH, Bridget Chatterley, who reviews each patient’s data
as it is received.
Bridget, James, and Marilyn have been working together
closely for over four months to manage James’s condition.
This has meant that James has needed to make adjustments
to his morning routine. After waking up at 5:30am and having
breakfast, James takes his vital signs then rides on his
stationary bike for 20 minutes. The bike is set up in front of
a big picture window where James can look out over a small
pond on his property. “James has been very motivated and
dedicated,” says Bridget. “Every time something in his data
looks off, I give him a call. It’s like a dialogue. All of these
tiny, very individual remarks and changes in his vital signs,
combined with education about diet and using the equipment,
are helping to keep James motivated.” “Whenever my blood
pressure is low, Bridget will call,” he says. “It’s taken me a
long time to come back. The people at home health check on
me, and they encourage me. I couldn’t have made it without
them.”
Central Vermont Home Health & Hospice is a full-service,
not-for-profit VNA serving 23 communities in Washington,
and parts of Orange, County. To learn more about the care
CVHHH provides for individuals living with heart disease,

MONTPELIER- Kat Wright at Positive Pie, 22 State St. 10PM.
Soul-R&B / GA / $15.00. Kat wright, whose voice is both sultry
and dynamic, delicate yet powerful; gritty but highly emotive and
nuanced, has been described as “a young bonnie raitt meets amy
winehouse”. Add to that voice enough stage presence to tame
lions, and the combination of feline femininity proves immediately
enchanting. There’s soul flowing in and out of her rock ‘n’
roll with a serpentine seduction. Some of soul music’s sweet,
grand dames belt, shout, seethe, and succumb, while wright sings
gently like a heartache’s apology. It’s funky in spots and beautiful
all over. And it hurts a little … like it should. Band members kat
wright // vocals josh weinstein // bass bob wagner // guitar ezra
oklan // drums shane hardiman // keys jake whitesell // saxophone
dave purcell // trumpet luke laplant // bari sax.
