continued from previous page She also had a rather large collection of snowmen that were compiled over a lifetime. In her younger years while enjoying snowmobiling, she also competed in drag racing snowmobiles, with her family and friends cheering her on. She also competed in fishing derby’s, winning first place with the prize being a pop up camper. This was the beginning of her love of camping in Goose Point and the hunting camp in Wentworth Location, NH. In her early years she enjoyed camping at the Clark’s Camp on Groton Pond. Most of all Claire loved spending time with family, friends and her “little darlings” they always brought a smile to her face. The family would like to thank the entire staff at Central Vermont Hospital for taking such great care of Claire and the family during her final days. A celebration of life was held at an informal gathering Saturday December 1, 2018 from 12 - 4 at the Canadian Club in Barre. Please bring stories to share. In lieu of flowers, please send donations to the American Cancer Society. PASTOR JACK BAKER, 83, passed away on Nov. 24, 2018.

Support VT Communities, Shop Local To the Editor, With the holiday season upon us, now is the perfect time to keep our tax dollars local. Keeping in the spirit of “Small Business Saturday” shopping local throughout this holiday season is the best way to support our Vermont communities. Shopping local also benefits the environment by using less fossil fuels, less plastic packaging, by promoting local agriculture, and by using land more productively. Sincerely, Morgan Haynes Rutland, VT Forget “Caravans,” It’s Our Health Care That Just Might Kill You To the Editor, Magicians and con men count on distraction to survive. One current national example: our president and his political friends keep you focused on migrants and refugees, so you won’t notice things like the fact that the US health care “system” is a far greater danger to your long term well being than any caravan from Central America. Our health care is truly a disaster that should outrage you. Medical bills cause far more bankruptcies than losing your job. Even if you have health insurance through your job, you’re probably spending several thousand dollars a year for a typical family of four. The amount that your employer insists you contribute toward the health insurance premiums keeps going up. As do the premiums themselves. As do the co-pays. As do the number of services and treatments that the insurance declines to cover. Every year Americans suffer the health consequences— sometimes death—from not being able to afford medical care. It’s a problem the rest of the developed world doesn’t have because their government makes sure everyone can get • • • • • • health care. If you want to know why we don’t have that here in the planet’s richest nation, you probably don’t need to look any further than the fact that Open Secrets, the database maintained by the Center for Responsive Politics, reports that the businesses that make money off our health care misery spent over $400,000,000 on health care lobbying in 2018 (through late October). Why doesn’t that outrage you? Lee Russ Bennington VT Thank You! To the Editor, The 16th annual Gobble Wobble Turkey Trot Planning Team would like to thank Carl Rogers, Town Manager of Barre Town for his support in making this event for the Barre Congregational Church safe and successful. This year’s cold temperatures did keep a few of the registered participants away but there were still 73 willing runners and walkers who came prepared for our coldest 5K ever. We are also very grateful for the Barre Town Police Department and Constable Dave Freeman for helping keep the runners safe on the roads. This event supports local outreach ministries such as Laundry Love, community breakfasts, Thanksgiving boxes and Christmas gifts. Thank you to the many local sponsors of the GWTT: Bellavance, Busy Bubble, Fowler Septic Service, DuBois and King, Linda Freeman Fitness, Nelson Ace Hardware, Simply Delicious, Barre Paint and Paper, Stone’s Service, Ladder1 Grill, Dindo Drafting, LifeMap Counseling, Red Hen Bakery, Next Chapter Bookstore, and LPD Traffic Control, Lenny’s, Morse Deli and to Sun of a Birch Design and Screenprint for the great t-shirts. Thanks to the many people in our community who support this family fun event on Thanksgiving Day. It is a great way to begin this day of gratitude. Finally Thanks to the many indoor and outdoor volunteers from the Barre Congregational Church that gave their time on Thanksgiving Day to support this annual 5K walk- run race. Hoping for a warmer day in 2019. The Gobble Wobble Turkey Trot Team, Don Singer, Lauren Jo Chase, Prudence Krasfoski, Jay Tosi, and Nancy Fowler AARP Warns Public to Beware of Package Delivery Scams Thieves send fake e-mails from delivery services about a package being held pending delivery.
