Salvation Army Kettle Drive
Needs Final Push
The Salvation Army Kettle Drive, both locally and national,
is behind last year and local leaders are hoping for a small
miracle to meet their goal. “It’s ironic that donations are down
on a year where the need is up so much,” reports Barre
Salvation Army Lieutenants Heather and Chris West (above),
adding “It could be the cold weather since we started in
November or the economy.” The Barre Salvation Army is
responsible for Kettles in Barre, Montpelier, Northfield,
Waterbury, Randolph, and West Lebanon. Groups, individuals,
and service clubs are urged to volunteer at a nearby Kettle
location. Both Kiwanians and Rotarians have stepped up
locally to help the cause of needy families and individuals.

VSAC Study of College
Completion Rates Sparks
Conversation About
Improving Higher
Education Outcomes
The Vermont Student Assistance Corp. and the Vermont
State Colleges System were joined by state leaders in the education,
business, and policymaking communities at a summit
recently to discuss results of a comprehensive VSAC study
that looked at college retention and completion rates among
Vermont’s high school class of 2012.
The study was based on enrollment data from the National
Student Clearinghouse and responses to the VSAC 2012
Senior Survey, which was completed by 85% of Vermont high
school seniors. The results of this unique longitudinal look at
Vermont college students revealed good news about the state,
as well as significant opportunities for improvement.
“I want to thank our partners for joining us at today’s summit,”
said Scott Giles, president and CEO at VSAC, Vermont’s
only statewide organization dedicated to helping Vermonters
save, plan and pay for college. “VSAC is all about supporting
Vermont students, whether it be through career and education
counseling, grant programs, or student loan offerings. This
research is one more critical part of that support structure,
because it helps us identify where we can improve throughout
our education system.”
Jeb Spaulding, chancellor of the Vermont State Colleges
System and co-host of the summit, added, “Experts estimate
that by 2020, 65% of jobs will require education or training
beyond high school. The Vermont State Colleges System is on
the front lines of helping all Vermonters, including first generation
and non-traditional students, prepare for a fulfilling
professional life, and we must do more to ensure they can be
successful.”
Obtaining a college degree is associated with higher levels
of homeownership, better health, and lower unemployment.
Students who take longer to graduate accumulate more student
loan debt, and those who never finish accrue the debt but
never receive the economic benefit of a college degree.
Vermont outperforms other states, but still has plenty of
challenges – and potential solutions. Statewide, 60% of students
from the class of 2012 who enrolled full-time at a fouryear
college obtained their degree “on time,” or within four
years – a completion rate that is 13 points higher than the
national average. However, when you broaden the population
to include all members of that high school class, including
those who did not go to college at all, the 4-year completion
rate drops to 34%.
Graduation rates also varied by the type of institution that
students attended in Vermont. St. Michael’s College had the
highest competition rate while Vermont State Colleges lagged
behind indicating that more work is needed to support those
students to ensure they achieve a degree.
The summit included a conversation about how parents,
high school educators, school counselors, and legislators can
act differently to help improve student outcomes. Some of
those ideas included a possible focus on one decision point –
when a student is contemplating a college transfer – where
additional counseling may help to improve completion rates,
and where policy changes at the state and institutional level
may further improve the odds of success.
The study also suggests that, at the high school level, more
attention should be given to upper-level math and AP courses,
particularly in Vermont’s most rural counties. Finally, the
results underscored the important role that parents play in setting
their children up for success; notably, by talking to their
kids about college plans well before the 9th grade.
Further discussion: Importance of math; rural counties falling
behind; and “transfer penalty.”
The study revealed a handful of demographic factors,
including gender, geography (urban or rural), and whether the
student’s parents attended college, that each had an influence
on whether the student would complete their degree.
Females from families who have a parent with a 4-year college
degree are most likely to continue their education after
high school; nearly 7 out of 10 immediately enrolled. Least
likely to continue their education are males from families who
don’t have a parent with a college degree. Only 4 in 10 firstgeneration
males enrolled immediately. Much more work is
needed to close this gender gap and encourage more boys
from economically disadvantaged families to enroll in college
and finish on time.
Not surprisingly, high school preparation and achievement
also played a key role. In fact, completion of upper-level math
courses and Advanced Placement courses, as well as high
school GPA, had stronger associations with college completion
than did the demographic factors of gender or parental
education – reinforcing the notion of education as “the great
equalizer.” The completion rates of the most demographically
disadvantaged group in this study – males whose parents did
not go to college – increased almost 30 percentage points
when those students had completed Algebra II and had earned
an overall GPA of A.
The study also showed that the county in which the student
attended high school was an important factor in predicting
postsecondary degree completion, even among students who
grew up in households headed by college-educated parents.
The more rural areas were the more challenged, with 32% of
students from Essex County and 38% of students from
Orleans County completing their degrees within four years, as
opposed to 51% percent of students from Chittenden County.
Another notable risk factor for non-completion included
transferring schools, a decision made by 10% of Vermont’s
class of 2012 who began college that fall. However, students
who transferred schools were almost 30 percentage points less
likely to graduate within four years than those who remained
at their starting schools. This likely stems from the fact that,
according to the federal Government Accountability Office,
students lose about 40% of their credits when they transfer.
“Today’s meeting is the start of a very important conversation
about the work we must do together to improve the support
structures and ultimately the outcomes for our students,”
Giles concluded.

Lost Nation Theater Presents Stories
For The Season, Dec. 19
On Wednesday December 19th at 7pm,
many of your favorite Lost Nation Theater
artists will gather to present dramatic readings
of stories from around the world. The return
of the light and the peaceful magic of this
winter season is heralded in tales from a host
of different traditions.
In Stories of the Season, you’ll hear works
from O’Henry, Hans Christian Anderson,
Isaac Bashevis, and even Dr. Seuss, alongside
Native American, Pagan, and African legends,
poems, and myths, and maybe even a Beatle
tune or two!
The evening is made possible by these
fabulous performers! Some of the community’s
very favorite LNT stars! We’re overjoyed
that our alumni cast of It’s A Wonderful Life,
Kim Allen Bent (Red), Cher Laston (Stone),
Michael Manion (Our Town), Maura O’Brien
(Becoming Dr Ruth), Mark S Roberts
(Judevine), and Kim Ward (Disappearances)
are all taking part. They are joined for this
evening by G. Richard Ames (Silent Sky,
Hairspray) - who will also host, and actorsinger
Carolyn Wesley (Lyddie, Into the
Woods). The event is directed by Kathleen
Keenan and Stevie De handles the lighting.
Stories for the Season carries on Lost
Nation Theater’s tradition of a holiday show
after the close of It’s A Wonderful Life last
year. The company hopes to return with a
“live radio show” play version of A Christmas
Carol in 2019.
Also, join LNT on December 19th to hear
Gift of the Magi, The Power of Light, The
Pine Tree, Herschel and the Hanukkah
Goblins, The Pull-Together Morning, Why
Hummingbird Has a Red Throat, How the
Grinch Stole Christmas, and more.

Intro to Strings Class Offered Through Joint Venture
The Green Mountain Youth Symphony
(GMYS) has partnered with Monteverdi
Music School, Vermont Violins, and Paul
Perley Cellos to pilot a new Intro to Strings
class. “The fall session was such a great success
that we’re going to run a new session
starting in January,” says GMYS Artistic
Director, Bob Blais.
This group class is for 8-12 year olds who
have never played a stringed instrument, but
would like to try it out. Blais, will teach the
9-week class in space donated by Monteverdi.
Students can choose to try violin, viola, cello,
or bass and will learn in a mixed-instrument
group. Discounted short-term rentals are
available through either Vermont Violins or
Paul Perley Cellos. According to Blais, “This
is a great opportunity to try out a stringed
instrument without families needing to make
a huge commitment up front. So kids can just
try it and see if they like it. It’s an affordable
way to explore playing music.”
Students who would like to continue with
their instrument after this introductory period
will be referred to private teachers through
Monteverdi, can join their school music program,
will be able to work toward joining the

through Jan. 9, 2019, in the Gifford Gallery at
Gifford Medical Center. The exhibit, titled
“My Love for Animals,” is free and open to
the public.
Born and raised in New Hampshire, Grant
spent most weekends and summers of her
youth on Mink Island on Lake Winnipesaukee,
where she observed deer—often swimming
from island to island, loons, raccoons, ducks,
and mink. Her love of animals grew as she
worked on local farms. Later, when Grant
bought a home in East Roxbury, she put up

feeders and “started my love for birds,” photographs
of which dominate the exhibit at
Gifford.
“I have been blessed by being able to photograph
them,” Grant said. “You never know
when a great shot will come.”
The Gifford Gallery is located just inside
the hospital’s main entrance at 44 S. Main St.,
Route 12, in Randolph. Artwork may be purchased
by contacting the Gifford
Development, Marketing and Public Relations
Department, weekdays from 8 a.m. to 4:30
p.m. For more information, call 802-728-

Dave Keller with Ira Friedman
on New Year’s Eve
On New Year’s Eve, renowned Vermont soul blues artist
Dave Keller will be performing a special early evening seated
concert at the Unitarian Church of Montpelier, accompanied
by his longtime bandmate Ira Friedman on the church’s beautiful
piano.
Keller, who hosted a New Year’s Eve dance party at
Montpelier City Hall for the past five years, says, “The dance
parties were such a blast, and I want to thank everyone who
made them such a success. But I felt like it was time to try
something a little different. I’m really excited about singing in
the Unitarian Church’s sanctuary. It’s got such a gorgeous
resonance to it. And with Ira on piano, it’s gonna be extra
special.”
Keller will be singing songs from his new album, Every
Soul’s a Star, which hit #1 on the Roots Music Report Soul
Blues Chart in October. Released on esteemed soul blues label
Catfood Records, and produced by triple-Grammy-winner Jim
Gaines (Santana, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Tower of Power), the
album has been receiving rave reviews.
Downbeat magazine awarded Keller’s album a coveted
4-star rating, and AXS.com recently named Keller as one of
“The Best 13 Blues Singers.” Elmore magazine calls Keller,
“a magnificent soul singer, his luxuriant voice rising flawlessly
to every occasion,”, and Living Blues describes Keller’s
album as, “moving and powerful...confirms his rightful place
in the soul universe...Steve Cropper-like riffs and soaring
vocals... songwriting genius... straight-to-the-heart soul.”
Ira Friedman is well known throughout Vermont for his
soulful playing with The Dave Keller Band, as well as his
performances with The Montpelier Community Gospel Choir
and his own Ira Friedman Trio. He’s also an in-demand piano
teacher at his private studio.
Doors will open at 5:00 pm, with the concert starting at 5:30
pm. Tickets can be purchased for $15 in advance at www.
davekeller.com/shows, or for $20 at the door. All ages are
welcome. The Unitarian Church of Montpelier is located at
130 Main Street. For more info, email info@davekeller.com.

Scrag Mountain Music Presents Joy,
Pleasure, and Sweet Nourishment: A
Concert of Early Music Concerts
Scrag Mountain Music rings in the New Year with a concert
of heartwarming early music. “Joy, Pleasure, and Sweet
Nourishment: A Concert of Early Music” welcomes celebrated
interpreters of early music for a performance of works by
Jean-Baptiste Barrière, John Dowland, John Eccles, George
Frideric Handel, Guillaume de Machaut, Henry Purcell, and a
piece that invokes the spirit of early music by the young New
York City-based Canadian composer Matthew Ricketts.
Concerts are on Friday, January 11, 2019 at 7:30 pm (Bread &
Butter Farm, 200 Leduc Farm Rd., Shelburne, VT), Saturday,
January 12, 2019 at 7:30 pm (Christ Episcopal Church, 64
State St., Montpelier, VT), and Sunday, January 13 at 4 pm
(Warren United Church, 339 Main St., Warren, VT).
Joining Scrag Mountain Music’s co-Artistic Directors Mary
Bonhag (soprano) and Evan Premo (double bass and composer),
who will also perform on the viola da gamba (the
precursor to the modern-day cello), are guest artists Paul
Holmes Morton on theorbo, lute, and baroque guitar, Priscilla
Herreid on baroque oboe and recorders, and Michael Unterman
on the cello.
Scrag Mountain Music is pleased to be able to bring back a
program of early music following two popular early music
concerts presented in previous seasons. Scrag Mountain
Music co-Artistic Director and soprano Mary Bonhag says,
“Music of the Medieval, Renaissance, and Baroque periods
has the ability to truly transport us back in time to when rules
of harmony and rhythm were still being adapted and when life
moved at a different pace. During these times (and really up
until recent eras), music was an integral part of daily life - created
and played for both practical and artful purposes. “Joy,
Pleasure, and Sweet Nourishment” explores Medieval,
Renaissance, and a bit of Baroque music from France and
England. This is music of the courts - sounds to entertain,
delight, and fuel the souls and senses of royalty and nobility. I
so enjoy singing early music and love sharing this repertoire,
new sounds (and new instruments!) with our audiences.”
“Joy, Pleasure, and Sweet Nourishment: A Concert of Early
Music” will present three concerts between January 11-13,
2019. All concerts are “Come as you are. Pay what you can.”

VT Ranks No. 2 of Peace Corps’ Top
Volunteer-Producing States in 2018
Peace Corps has announced
that Vermont ranks No. 2
among states with the highest
number of Peace Corps volunteers
per capita. There are
43 volunteers from Vermont
currently serving worldwide
and 1,622 Vermonters have
served in the Peace Corps
since the agency’s founding
in 1961.
Notably, Vermont has
ranked as a top volunteerproducing
state per capita for
the last five years and held
the No. 1 spot from 2014-
2016. Vermont volunteers are
among the more than 235,000
Americans who have served
around the world in areas
such as agriculture, community
economic development,
education, environment,
health and youth development
volunteers since 1961.
“Encouraging all
Americans, from every corner
of our country, to become
involved in international service is something
that continues to be at the forefront of my
mind,” said Peace Corps Director Jody Olsen.
“At the Peace Corps, we recognize the leaders
who cultivate a culture of service in their
states. Communities across America are
embracing the domestic dividend of returned
Peace Corps volunteers and, today, we celebrate
these global citizens who contribute so
much to our country.”
Worcester, Vermont, resident Jocelyn Hill
serves as an English language facilitator in
Tonga. “Values of loyalty, and humility run
deep throughout the Tongan culture and in
every interaction,” says Hill. “The Tongan
hospitality is so strong and welcoming, it is a
kindness and generosity I have never experienced
before. I am supposed to be the one
coming to serve my country of service, yet my
host country nationals have helped me more
than I could ever reciprocate.”
Peace Corps is unique among service organizations
because volunteers live and work at
the community level. Service in the Peace
Corps is a life-defining, hands-on leadership
experience that offers volunteers the opportunity
to travel to the farthest corners of the
world and make a lasting difference in the
lives of others. Applicants can apply to specific
programs by visiting the Peace Corps
website and connecting with a recruiter.

Vermont Care Partners
Welcomes Sarah Squirrel as
Incoming Commissioner for the
Department of Mental Health
Vermont Care Partners Welcomes Sarah Squirrell as the
incoming Commissioner for the Department of Mental Health.
Governor Scott and Agency of Human Services Secretary
Gobeille made an excellent choice in choosing a leader in
community-based care to head our State Mental Health
System.
Sarah’s far-reaching expertise in developing statewide care
collaborations, strengthening the use of evidenced-based practices,
and in managing community programs -- along with her
commitment to supporting children, youth, and families -- will
be an excellent complement to Deputy Commissioner Fox’s
extensive expertise in adult mental health services. Their combined
leadership will strengthen the continuum of care for all
Vermonters affected by mental health conditions and advance
our system of care as an integral component of the health care
system in partnership with schools, law enforcement, corrections,
and the Department of Children and Families.
Vermont Care Partners looks forward to maintaining a
strong partnership with the Department of Mental Health,
Agency of Human Services, peers, advocates and community
partners in striving to fight stigma and meet the mental health
needs of all Vermonters in parity with health care.

Congress passed a strong, bipartisan Farm Bill that protects the federal nutrition programs and supports
farmers and agricultural economy. Senator Patrick Leahy, Anore Horton, ED of Hunger Free VT,
and John Sayles, CEO of the Vermont Foodbank applaud the hard work of their fellow advocates across
the country.
VT Anti-Hunger Organizations Applaud
Farm Bill Agreement that Protects SNAP
and Keeps Food on the Table
CENTRAL
VERMONT’S
BEST
COUNTRY
Congress has overwhelmingly passed a
strong, bipartisan Farm Bill that protects the
federal nutrition programs and supports our
farmers and agricultural economy. The bill
that passed is a testament to nearly two years
of strong and unwavering advocacy by antihunger
and farmer organizations, and the
steadfast and vocal support of many members
of Congress like Vermont’s own Senator
Leahy, Senator Sanders, and Congressman
Welch. Hunger Free Vermont and the Vermont
Foodbank applaud the hard work of their fellow
advocates across the country and
Congress on this Farm Bill.
After months of congressional debate, and
proposals that aimed to devastate our nation’s
nutrition safety net and take food away from
2 million Americans, the Farm Bill that is
heading to the President’s desk protects the
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program
(known as SNAP, and called 3SquaresVT in
Vermont), provides a modest increase in
funding for food assistance through The
Emergency Food Assistance Program
(TEFAP), expands programs that connect
SNAP participants with local food, and will
help millions of Americans put food on the
table.
The Farm Bill includes many programs
that are critical to the health and wellbeing of
millions of Americans. SNAP is the nation’s
first line of defense against hunger, and provides
more than 74,000 Vermonters and 40
million Americans with money to spend on
food in grocery stores and farmers markets
each month. For every one meal provided by
a member of Feeding America’s national network
of 200 food banks and 60,000 agency
partners, of which the Vermont Foodbank is a
member, SNAP provides 12. TEFAP plays a
critical role as well, providing food banks and
food shelves with nutritious US grown foods
to distribute to families in need, including
more than 16 million individuals who do not
qualify for SNAP assistance.
With the passing of this Farm Bill,
Vermonters participating in 3SquaresVT will
see no cuts to their food benefits. The bill
improves program integrity and also invests
in proven approaches to employment and
training programs. The approaches were tested
in pilots authorized in the 2014 Farm Bill,
including Vermont’s successful Jobs for
Independence program (JFI). Vermont recently
launched the Individual Career
Advancement Network (ICAN), building on
the work of JFI. ICAN helps participants gain
the skills and education they need to obtain
stable, good paying jobs, and attain economic
self-sufficiency. The bill will also increase
access to nutritious, local food, through programs
funded by the Food Insecurity Nutrition
Incentive Grant Program (FINI), like
Vermont’s Crop Cash program, which
increases 3SquaresVT participants’ purchasing
power at farmers markets across the state,
helping more Vermonters buy local food.
“By supporting TEFAP, this Farm Bill will
help food banks like the Vermont Foodbank
and our partner food shelves to provide more
nutritious food to our neighbors in need,”
says Vermont Foodbank CEO, John Sayles.
“We are grateful to our congressional delegation
and to the hardworking anti-hunger
advocates who pushed to ensure that this
critical five-year bill preserves the federal
nutrition programs that support Vermonters
struggling with hunger.”
Here in Vermont, work on the Farm Bill
began nearly two years ago. The Vermont
Farm Bill Nutrition Coalition, made up of
anti-hunger advocates, agriculture organizations,
state agencies, and community service
providers, came together in 2017 to develop a
set of priorities that reflect the true needs and
values of Vermonters. Over 700 individuals
and organizations throughout the state signed
on in support of these recommendations. The
Coalition worked with the Vermont congressional
delegation to make sure these recommendations
were represented in Washington.
“Hunger Free Vermont is proud to see many
of the Vermont Farm Bill Nutrition Coalition’s
recommendations reflected in the Farm Bill
passed by Congress this week,” says Horton.
“This victory proves the power and critical
necessity of collective advocacy. We are
grateful for Vermont’s congressional delegation’s
work to highlight the recommendations
and thank advocates across Vermont and the
nation for standing together to protect federal
nutrition programs.”

The Phoenix-Vermont and Partners Launch New Fitness Program
On Saturday, December 8th, a line of new athletes reached
out the door and into the stairwell at Green Mountain CrossFit.
These new athletes were there to take part in a CrossFit class
for the inaugural launch of The Phoenix – Vermont. What
looked like any Saturday at the gym for some looked new and
very different than their typical Saturday to others. Each of the
athletes in line was there because they are in recovery from
substance misuse disorder. This event was a new step in their
recovery journey.
The Phoenix is a national nonprofit organization founded
by Scott Strode, an athlete and leader who found recovery
through fitness and discipline in a boxing gym in Boston.
Based on his personal experience, Strode founded The
Phoenix Multisport in Denver in 2006. Since then Strode and
his team have been steadily expanding the reach of their program
to include many different sports and locations in 20
states. “We have built a community of people in recovery
across the country that are committed to helping individuals
overcome substance use disorders by providing a nurturing
atmosphere and support through the intrinsic power of physical
activities,” said Scott Strode, Founder and Executive
Director of The Phoenix. “By bringing The Phoenix to
Vermont, we are providing a proven program to help build a
safe, welcoming, nurturing and healing environment that is
full of hope for people who have suffered from a substance
use disorder and to those who choose to live sober.”
Their philosophy is simple: offer free fitness classes to
those in recovery who have been sober for the last 48 hours.
But the focus is not solely on fitness. As participants work out,
they begin to build new connections with others who are living
in recovery and sobriety. These connections are a powerful
way for participants to build a new support network to continue
their success in recovery.
For several years, Shannon Brennan, a licensed clinical
mental health counselor at Central Vermont Substance Abuse,
had contacted The Phoenix Multisport asking that they expand
to Central Vermont. She “was tired of seeing her clients die”
because they did not have the support systems to sustain their

recovery and often fell back on old, unhealthy relationships.
Brennan saw the potential that the Phoenix could bring to her
clients. It wasn’t until she found partners at Green Mountain
United Way and Green Mountain CrossFit that it became possible
to bring The Phoenix to Central Vermont.
Tawnya Kristen of Green Mountain United Way met with
Brennan and not only saw how this could be life-changing for
Brennan’s clients, she saw how The Phoenix had the potential
to change the recovery landscape in Vermont. As a key member
of several Accountable Communities for Health in the
Green Mountain United Way service region, Kristen was very
familiar with data demonstrating the value of building healthy
community and the impact on population health. She called a
meeting with Nick Petterssen, the co-owner of Green
Mountain CrossFit, who she knew would be supportive.
Together, these three community partners worked with The
Phoenix to plan, train, and prepare for the launch of this first
event on December 8th.
More than 25 athletes and
half a dozen volunteers
showed up to launch The
Phoenix-Vermont. According
to The Phoenix’s national
office, attendance at this
inaugural event was one of
the two largest they have seen
since expanding this programing
nationwide.
Athletes who attended
Saturday’s event were from
many walks of life; some
were experienced with
CrossFit, many were not, but
all showed up ready and willing
to tackle a new challenge.
In the opening circle just as
many people responded to
Kristen’s introductory question of “What are you looking
forward to this week?” with “celebrating 2 months sober” or
“10 years sober” as did those who were looking forward to
family time or holiday shopping. The pride with which they
spoke reinforced one of the main goals of The Phoenix – to
eliminate the stigma of being in recovery. In the Phoenix,
recovery is not something to hidden; by stepping into a
Phoenix Event, athletes are not only joining a new, supportive
community, but they are part of sharing and creating that community
themselves.
Phoenix events will continue to happen every Saturday
from noon – 1:30 pm at Green Mountain CrossFit. Those interested
should go to www.thephoenix.org/participate/ to enroll
prior to attending. Sign in opens at 11:30 am each Saturday.
Those interested in volunteering to support events can go to
Green Mountain United Way’s Volunteer Connection to sign up

NATURAL HEALTH CORNER | JOSHUA SINGER
Consider yourself unique if you get a
sufficient amount of restorative sleep.
This amount is different depending
on your age. How many times a
night do you wake up? Do you fall back asleep
within ten minutes? Is your mind overly active
when you awake in the middle of the night?
Is it your bladder that wakes you up multiple
times a night? Are you getting hot flashes or
sweating that wakes you up? Does it take you
over an hour to initially fall asleep? Do you feel
tired during the day because of lack of good quality sleep?
Here are some statistics from the American Sleep Association:
• 50-70 million US adults have a sleep disorder.
• 48.0% report snoring.
• 37.9% reported unintentionally falling asleep during the day at
least once in the preceding month.
• 4.7% reported nodding off or falling asleep while driving at least
once in the preceding month.
• Drowsy driving is responsible for 1,550 fatalities and 40,000 nonfatal
injuries annually in the United States.
• Insomnia is the most common specific sleep disorder, with shortterm
issues reported by about 30% of adults and chronic insomnia by
10%.
• 25 million U.S. adults have obstructive sleep apnea.
• 9-21% of women and 24-31% of men have obstructive sleep
apnea.
• 3–5% of the overall proportion of obesity in adults could be attributable
to short sleep.
• 37% of 20-39 year-olds and 40% of 40-59 year olds report short
sleep duration.
• 35.3% adults (who require 7-9 hours of sleep per night) report

The Vermont Supreme Court Gallery Begins
New Year with Ann Young’s Fellow Travelers
Artist, Ann Young has been selected as the
first Vermont Supreme Court Gallery artist
for 2019! Her solo exhibition titled: Fellow
Travelers on view from January 3–March 28,
2018, with an Opening Reception on
Thursday, January 3 from 4:00 – 7:00 pm is
not to be missed. This talented multidisciplinary
Northeast Kingdom artist has a strong
background in ceramic sculpture, illustration,
site specific instillation, and painting.
Fellow Travelers showcases powerful
large-scale oil paintings with narratives that
reach deep into the human condition and their
environments. Young is a great observer of
relationships between people, places, and
spaces. The artist, through observation, and
social integration puts forth allegorical imagery
that makes you think and question what
REALLY is going on here?
Mostly self-taught, in 2001 Young began
her journey into oil painting, influenced by
her extraordinary teachers Max Ginsburg and
Dominique Medici and inspired by the works
of Dutch masters and impressionists artists.
Truly, you can see how she discovered her
creative direction.
Young states “We are fellow travelers. We
move about in space. We journey through a
lifetime of emotion, only to find in the end,
that it is not the goal that matters, it is the
striving.”
• • •
About: Ann Young was born in Chicago
and raised in Illinois and Nebraska but has
lived all of her adult life in Vermont’s
Northeast Kingdom. She dabbled in the “back
to the land” movement and raised a family
and has always been interested in representational
art. From her first paying job illustrating
the varmints of the Nebraska plains
through her stint as an illustrator for The
Center For Northern Studies in Wolcott, VT,
to her pseudo abstract closeups of pond vegetation
and of sea life found on beaches, she
has looked to nature for inspiration. She
received a BFA from Rhode Island School of
Design which sidetracked her into ceramics
and sculpture. She spent years in a fruitful
career making miniature porcelain animal and
human figures for the wholesale craft market.
She taught ceramics at Lyndon State college
and in the public schools. An interest in large
wooden sculpture occupied several years culminating
in large scale gallery installations.
In 2001 she began to devote herself to the
exquisite hues and textures which oil painting
on canvas allows. It was with studies of people
in portraiture and in social interaction that
she chose to explore these possibilities and
has since devoted almost all of her efforts to
painting her fellow travelers.
This event is free and open to the public.

Donald M. Wallace
June 24, 1934- November 18, 2018
Donald MacPherson Wallace Jr. of
Northfield, Vermont passed away on
Sunday, November 18, after a short illness.
His daughters Beth and Meg and his
long-time companion Mary Bellinzier
were with him until the end. He was an
extraordinarily dedicated professor, a
committed mountaineer, a staunch environmentalist
and an avid gardener; he had
a strong belief in giving back to his community,
and firm opinions on most subjects.
Don Wallace was born on June 24, 1934, in Glen Ridge, NJ
to Donald MacPherson Wallace I and Edwina (Pomeroy)
Wallace. He was the elder of two brothers and was predeceased
by his brother Edwin (1936- 2009).
Don enlisted as a medic in the army in 1954 during the
Korean conflict. Discharged in 1956, he enrolled in the
University of Vermont and graduated with a B.S.M.E. in 1960.
Don completed his M.S. at the University of Illinois Urbana-
Champaign (1962). From 1962, he taught at Norwich
University in Northfield Vermont, beginning a 55-year career
interrupted only by his doctoral studies (EngScD, Columbia
University, 1968). With his signature pipe, moustache, and
glasses, he was a familiar and formidable figure to generations
of students until his retirement in 2017 at age 83.
Don’s lifelong passion for mountaineering began on hiking
trips with his aunt and uncle Lillian and Russell Lodge, members
of the NJ section of the Green Mountain Club. With his
aunt Gladys Anderson, he climbed his first of the Northeast
111, Big Slide Mountain in the Catskills in 1946. Always a
completist, he was the 4th person to hike all 115 mountains on
the list (including 67 New England peaks over 4000 feet, the
46 Adirondack High Peaks, and 2 other NY mountains), finishing
in 1964. Don also climbed all the Colorado 14ers from
1972 to 1988 and hiked Vermont’s Long Trail end-to-end. In
1980, he became the 4th person to climb the high points of all
50 U.S. states, including Denali.

Don supported the Northfield community in many ways
over his 55+ years in town. He was an EMT on the Northfield
Ambulance Squad from 1975-2001, and represented
Northfield to the Central Vermont Solid Waste Management
District from 1986-2001, during which time he helped to start
Northfield’s waste reduction effort, got Northfield’s Transfer
Station built, and headed up Northfield’s Green-Up Day
efforts. He was on the selectboard from 1999 to 2008.
In the UVM Outing Club, Don met Marlene Bryant and
was married in June 1960. They had two daughters, Elizabeth
(1961) and Margaret (1963). The young family spent most
weekends camping in their VW bus in order to hike and
climb, often at the Shawangunks in NY’s Mohonk Trust. The
couple divorced in 1973. In 1987, he met Mary Bellinzier at a
Norwich dinner-dance. They shared a life and a home for 31
years, hiking and climbing in New England and around the
country and listening to many Bluegrass Gospel Project concerts.
Don and Mary skiied Vermont’s Catamount Trail
together, finishing in 1995. Don was a beloved father and a
cherished partner. He is sorely missed.
Don is survived by his daughters Beth Wallace (Colleen
Boyce) and Meg Wallace; his nieces Eileen Wallace Bradley
(Bruce) and Karen Wallace-Pisano; his long-time companion
Mary Bellinzier; and countless students, colleagues, friends,
and neighbors.
A memorial service will be held at Norwich University’s
White Chapel on Saturday, February 2nd, 2019 at 11:00 am,
with reception to follow in the Milano Ballroom. In lieu of
flowers, contributions may be made to the Catamount Trail
Association, the Green Mountain Club, the Mohonk Trust, or

WORLD SPORTS & OUTDOORS
Wildlife in Winter: How Vermont’s Wild Animals Survive Our Harsh Winter Weather
By Tom Rogers
Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department
The calendar may say December, but with the cold winds
blowing and the snowdrifts piling up, it feels like we’re much
later into winter. Vermonters typically take one of three different
approaches to winter. Some (usually retired) Vermonters
go the ‘snowbird’ approach, spending the winter in a warmer
southern climate. Others ‘hibernate,’ staking out a warm spot
next to the woodstove with a cup of cocoa, going outside only
when absolutely necessary. But hardier Vermonters embrace
winter, breaking out the skis or snowshoes, dusting off the
sled, and generally reveling in the snow.
Wildlife follow the same three basic strategies to make it
through the tough winter months. From birds that migrate
south, to bears that cozy up and snooze the winter away, to
moose that stick it out in the cold, wildlife approach winter
using familiar tactics.
Birds, like people, don’t employ just a single strategy to get
through winter. Many species migrate, but in different directions
and at different times. The warblers generally start heading
south to the Gulf Coast by August, whereas some ducks
and geese may not head south until December, particularly in
years where ponds and lakes remain open late. Loons head
east--not south--to spend the winter in the ocean along coastal
New England.
Other birds, from up north such as snowy owls, redpolls,
rough-legged hawks, or snow buntings, migrate into Vermont.
Additionally, not every member of a bird species will arrive at
a single strategy - some individual bald eagles or blue jays
stay in Vermont for the winter while others head out of town.
And many of our resident bird species stay close to home,
including chickadees, waxwings, nuthatches, juncos, ravens,
and woodpeckers. With more elbow room at the feeder or fruit
tree, these year-round residents face less competition for food.
One winged migrator stands out from the rest of the pack:
the monarch butterfly. Monarchs are one of only a small group
of butterflies known to engage in, as birds do, a north-south
migration, with most eastern monarchs overwintering at a
single site in the mountains of central Mexico. But on their
return, a monarch that leaves its wintering grounds in Mexico
will never make it to Vermont.
According to Mark Ferguson, zoologist for Vermont Fish &
Wildlife, “Instead, several generations are born and die along
the way, meaning that the grandchildren or great-grandchildren
of the monarch leaving Mexico at the end of winter
eventually arrives in Vermont each summer.”
Reptiles and amphibians simply lay low (aka, go dormant)
through Vermont’s winter months. Most frogs and salamanders
hibernate under rotting leaves and logs on the forest floor.
Turtles while away the winter on the bottoms of ponds and
rivers. And snakes generally spend the winter in mammal burrows
or rock crevices below the frost line, sometimes with
multiple species of snake curled up together in the same den.
Conversely, bears don’t “hibernate” in the traditional sense.
Unlike other hibernating mammals such as woodchucks or
bats, bears’ body temperature and heart rate stay close to nor-
Public Hearings on Fishing Regulation Changes
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Board will
hold five public hearings in January on proposed
changes to fishing regulations.
Proposed changes in the baitfish regulation
would simplify some parts of it and establish
it as separate from the general regulation on
fishing.
Jobs Pond in Westmore and Martins Pond
in Peacham would be added to the list of
waters with a two-trout daily limit. A section
of the Lamoille River downstream of Johnson
with a two-trout daily limit and 16-inch minimum
length would be returned to the general
fishing regulations.Public hearings begin at
U.S. Forest Service Encourages Snowmobile
Travelers to Exercise Caution
With additional snow expected in the coming
weeks, the U.S. Forest Service is looking
forward to a successful snowmobile season
and wants to encourage all riders to put safety
first. Green Mountain National Forest (GMNF)
officials are recommending that snowmobilers
exercise caution when operating on the
National Forest, and all lands, in Vermont this
winter. GMNF officials remind snowmobile
enthusiasts to heed to all gates and signs and to
stay off roads and trails that are closed. Due to
heavy snow in November, Forest Service
employees and several snowmobile clubs
throughout Vermont have been working to
clear trees and other debris from trails.
Officials want to remind trail users to use extra
caution early in the season as some trees may
be weak due to snow accumulation and
downed tree hazards are likely.
Weather permitting, snowmobile use is
allowed on designated trails within the GMNF
for four months beginning on Sunday,
December 16, 2018 and ending on Monday,
April 15, 2019. “We are concerned about user
safety. Patrols which are aimed at enforcing
rules and regulations, monitoring trail conditions
and providing visitor information will
occur throughout the Forest,” said John
Sinclair, Forest Supervisor for the Green
Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests.
The GMNF will continue to work closely with
state and local law enforcement agencies, as
well as the Vermont Association of Snow

mal during the winter, which they spend in more of a deep
sleep than a true state of hibernation. They do this not to avoid
the snow and cold (bears have thick fur and are well-adapted
to cold temperatures) but to conserve energy while they wait
out the winter months until food again becomes available.
“Bears are triggered to enter their den when food becomes
scarce in fall or early winter, usually following a heavy snowfall,”
said Forrest Hammond, Vermont Fish & Wildlife’s lead
bear biologist. “In spring, the rains and warm temperatures
cause bears to leave their dens in search of uncovered nuts and
green shoots that start to emerge from the melting snowpack.”
Hammond says that winter rains can make bears uncomfortable
and restless and may force many bears from their dens
to seek drier accommodations. “Bears sleep soundly in winters
when deep snow covers the entrances to their dens but during
years with little snow, bears are exposed and awaken easily.”
Deer, moose, beavers, otters, and many other mammals are
active throughout the winter. White-tailed deer are at the
northern edge of their range in Vermont and winter is the
limiting factor that defines how many deer can survive here.
When snows get deep and temperatures plummet, deer seek
out patches of forest with thick evergreen trees that protect
them from biting winds and deep snow, making the conservation
of these deer wintering areas vitally important.
Deer don’t eat much throughout the winter and deplete their
fats stores as the winter months drag on. Late March through
April is a critical time of year; if winter lingers too long and
they don’t have opportunities to feed on emerging plants, the
Travelers (VAST) to make sure that users of
the trail system are respectful, responsible, law
abiding, and safe.
The GMNF and VAST cooperate to maintain
more than 470 miles of National Forest
System trails that are part of the larger statewide
snowmobile network. VAST is one of a
few snowmobile associations in the United
States that has a cooperative partnership agreement
with the U.S. Forest Service. “All of
these trails allow mixed uses, so people are
snowshoeing, hiking, and cross-country skiing,
as well as using snowmobiles.
Snowmobilers should travel responsibly and
yield to other users,” said Sinclair. The maximum
speed is 35 miles per hour on state and
federal land and Vermont has a tough
Snowmobiling While Intoxicated Law that
covers alcohol, as well as drugs.
The U.S. Forest Service is also warning the
public of the dangers associated with riding,
hiking and skiing on frozen water bodies. Trail
users are encouraged to be mindful of fallen
trees and other hazards they may encounter.
Operators must maintain control of their snowmobile
while riding; keep to the right at all
times, wear helmets, and stay on designated
trails only. All snowmobiles must be legally
registered, have liability insurance, and operators
must purchase a VAST Trails Maintenance
Assessment decal. Trail users should pack a
flashlight, cell phone, food, and extra warm
clothing in case of an emergency.

Public Hearing on Proposed Furbearer
Regulation Changes
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Board will
hold a public hearing about proposed changes
mandated by legislature to the existing regulation
on hunting and trapping of furbearers
on Tuesday, January 8, 2019 at 6:30 p.m. in
Whitcomb JR-SR High School, 273 Pleasant
Street, Bethel, VT.
The proposed changes would apply to persons
who trap nuisance furbearers or rabbits
for compensation. The changes would require
these people to visit traps within a timely
manner, label their traps, use approved traps,
and submit the carcasses of certain species, as
well as a biological trapping survey report to
the Fish & Wildlife Department. These trappers
are prohibited from using poison to take
statewide deer herd usually declines.
Conversely, moose are well adapted to winter and--when
healthy--are unfazed by the cold. They can traverse deep
snows atop their long, spindly legs. In fact, a harsh winter by
human standards benefits moose, as late season snows can
take a welcome toll on the moose’s main parasite, the winter
tick. Moose are so well adapted to cold temperatures that they
often find summer more of a challenge, developing heat stress
at 57 degrees or more. When temperatures get hot, moose may
stop feeding to seek out cool waters to wade in. As climate
change continues to drive up summer temperatures, this heat
sensitivity worries some biologists who are pessimistic about
the moose’s future Vermont.
Surviving winter can difficult in Vermont. Wildlife need to
have thick cover for shelter, an appropriate den site, open
water to drink, wild food to eat, and the ability to move from
place to place easily. These resources are all found in healthy
and connected habitats.
To ensure wildlife thrive all year round, Vermonters can
make a difference and protect connected habitats throughout
the state. Landowners can work with a wildlife biologist or
forester to improve habitat on their property to give wildlife a
helping hand. Other Vermonters can help wildlife by purchasing
a Vermont Habitat Stamp at www.vtfishandwildlife.com.
The stamp costs $15 with donations going to the conservation
of important fish and wildlife statewide habitat--everything
from streambanks and vernal pools to denning and wintering
areas for all the species in Vermont.

furbearers.
The proposed rule changes would increase
accountability for those individuals or commercial
entities trapping furbearers or rabbits
in defense of property for compensation. The
proposed rule changes maintain enough flexibility
for individuals, landowners and municipalities
to successfully address nuisance
problems, while prohibiting unsuitable or
inappropriate actions.
The proposed regulation changes can be

Young Journalists — Again — School the Adults
It is profoundly discouraging to witness adults failing in
their obligations to the young people in their charge. Examples
abound, from the thoughtless to the tawdry to the traumatic,
and in each case they represent a betrayal. But what a glorious
thing it is when young people, with right on their side, stand
their ground and teach the adults a thing or two.
A few months ago, we learned of four student journalists at
Burlington High School who broke the news about a school
employee who was facing a state investigation on charges of
unprofessional conduct. As VtDigger reported in September,
the school’s principal ordered the story removed from the
website of the BHS Register, the student newspaper, which
was an apparent violation of Vermont’s “New Voices” law.
That law, signed by Gov. Phil Scott in 2017, was designed
specifically to protect student journalists. Burlington School
District officials began backtracking almost immediately. The
students’ journalism was sound, the adults’ interpretation of
the law was flawed, and the end result was the scrapping of
“all previously practiced or adopted guidelines” regarding
student publications and a revamping of the school’s media
policy — in a process that this time included students.
“I think ... we’ve just learned how important and how vital
the First Amendment is to just our country, and our society
and our government,” senior Nataleigh Noble, 17, one of the
student journalists who wrote the story, told The Associated
Press.
In October, a similar situation unfolded about 1,500 miles
to the south and west, in Springdale, Ark., where student journalists
at Har-Ber High School, after a nearly yearlong investigation,
uncovered a scandal that involved one of the South’s
sacred cows — the varsity football team.
Six players, the Har-Ber Herald reported, were allowed to
transfer to Springdale High School, which is in the same
school district as Har-Ber High. Such transfers are permitted
for academic reasons only, and that is what the parents of the
players said in their letters requesting the transfers. The student
journalists obtained those letters through a freedom-of-

information request — and they also interviewed several of
the players, who told them that the real reason they wanted to
transfer to Springdale was to increase their chances of being
offered a major college football scholarship. Transfers for that
reason are not allowed under the school district’s policy, and
that was the focus of the Har-Ber Herald report.
We would like to be able to say that Springdale School
District officials applauded the students’ diligence and enterprise
and immediately began a review of the district’s policies
on transfers. We cannot. Instead, they suspended publication
of the newspaper, ordered the story and accompanying editorial
removed from its website, demanded that all future stories
be reviewed in advance by administrators and threatened to
fire the teacher who advises the student journalists.
It’s almost like they had something to hide — something,
that is, beyond their ignorance of the 1995 Arkansas Student
Publication Act, which, like Vermont’s “New Voices” law, is
intended to protect the First Amendment rights of student
journalists.
“If something is in the wrong, then I think people need to

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,
Make America Apolitical Again
The saddest thing about our era isn’t the contentious state
of politics. It’s the upsetting fact that politics has bled over
into every other aspect of American life.
The NFL, late night comedy, natural disasters, Kanye West:
everything is politicized. Everything is polarized. As a society,
we desperately need something that doesn’t make us
choose sides; something that brings us all together. That
something is “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.”
If the comedians who make “It’s Always Sunny” are passionately
pro or anti-Trump, they hide it incredibly well. The
characters talk frankly about politics, social issues, and race in
every episode, but the show never takes sides. It’s an incredible
achievement in inclusiveness and restraint.
They have been making fun of overly political ignoramuses
for years. Back in season 9 - in the episode “Gun Control Too:
Still Hot” - the gang tackled the extremely polarizing gun
control issue without taking sides.
The episode begins with amoral businessman Frank
Reynolds (Danny DeVito) going on local news to tell the story
of how his two guns purchased at Gunther’s Gun Shop saved
him from a violent robbery. Mac and Charlie are convinced.
Dennis and Dee are disgusted.
Mac and Charlie arm themselves and go to an elementary
school to try to protect the children. Meanwhile, Dennis and
Dee try to prove their point by showing how easy it is to get
an assault rifle. Slowly, each pair realizes the flaw in their
argument and switch sides in the gun debate.
In the end, Frank admits that he doesn’t care about the issue
at all; he just bought a stake in Gunther’s Gun Shop and
stoked the city’s fear to make more money. Frank compares
himself to Al Gore, who spread panic about Global Warming
and got rich in the process. “In America,” Frank concludes,
“you are either the duper or the dupee.”
This cynical view of politics is more relevant than ever. If
you are fired up about something political, consider who profits
from your rage. And, above all, consider laughing at yourself
for being duped into caring so much.
In season 13’s amazing premier episode, “Make Paddy’s
Great Again,” new cast-member Mindy Kaling gives a heartwarming
speech about how the formerly crass and bigoted
crew at Paddy’s Pub have become woke. Behind closed doors,
the gang laughs at the left-wing customers and counts the
money they made selling cheap Cabernet labeled as
“Conservative Whine.”
Then, Kaling reveals her grand scheme, which is to switch
sides, pretend to be conservative, and steal customers from the
Right-Wing bar around the corner. Mac and Charlie begin
relabeling the cheap wine as “Liberal Tears.”
The characters on “It’s Always Sunny” are terrible people.
But the people who make the show are not. In another episode
last season – “The Gang Solves the Bathroom Problem” – the
show successfully depoliticized another issue that was dividing
our country.
I can’t imagine anything less important than the toilet that
transgender people use. But every conservative father in
America has had an impassioned argument with his liberal
daughter about that very issue.
With zero partisanship and zero cultural sensitivity, the “It’s
Always Sunny” gang broke down the debate for a half hour.
Ultimately, they concluded that the most sane option was for
us to toss the Men and Women signs in the trash and label
every bathroom in America with a sign that reads “Animal
Poop.” Problem solved – and everybody was offended equally.
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” used to be the best
comedy on television. Now it is something even more valuable:
it’s the last inclusive political show left in our fractured
culture.
A populist guy and a raging feminist gal can sit on the
couch – hand in hand – and enjoy this show as loving equals.
“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia” makes us laugh at the
nitwits on the screen, and at ourselves.
Op-Ed by the Department of Vermont Health Accesss
An Open Letter to Everyone Who Has Helped
Vermonters Get into the Right Health Coverage
As we entered the final week of Open Enrollment, the
Department of Vermont Health Access wants to thank you for
all you’ve done to help spread the word about this year’s
changes. We also want to ask your help with a final push to
get Vermonters into the ‘right plans.’
Due to a complex set of policy changes, the federal government
is providing a lot more financial help in 2019. This
means:
A family of four earning $100,000 will receive over $3,000
more in financial help than they received in 2018;
Most uninsured Vermonters have a household income that
would now qualify for a zero-premium plan, meaning their
financial help would cover their whole monthly premium;
Many Vermont Health Connect members can save more
than a thousand dollars by changing to a different ‘metal
level’ insurance plan, per the 2019 Plan Comparison Tool.
With your help over the last few years, Vermont has
achieved one of the lowest uninsured rates in the nation. With
your help this past week, we drove it even lower.
Many of our members have referenced communication
from their state legislators, employers, doctors, community
media outlets, neighbors and family members when they
apply for coverage or ask to change plans. Many others have
worked with one of 300 trained In-person Assisters who live
and work in communities across the state. In an age where
folks are buried in information and properly wary that an
unsolicited call could be a scam, words of encouragement
• • •
from a trusted source can really cut through the clutter.
Those personal words -- as much as any invoice insert, letter,
email, or phone call from Vermont Health Connect, Blue
Cross Blue Shield of Vermont, or MVP Health Care – can
help Vermonters take the necessary steps to enroll in the right
health insurance plan for 2019.
What is the right plan? In theory, it’s the plan that will have
the lowest total costs over the course of the year. In other
words, the net premium (what the member pays after receiving
financial help) plus out-of-pocket costs (what they pay
when they receive services) is lower than any other plan. In
practice, it’s easier to define the wrong plan.
It can be confusing, but help was available.
VermontHealthConnect.gov’s 2019 Plan Comparison Tool
has been used nearly 30,000 times this season, up more than
50 percent over last year. Vermonters logged on and chose
their 2019 plan online. For those who prefered phones, the
Customer Support Center was open extended hours this past
week and on the last day of Open Enrollment. Yes, call volumes
were always high near the deadline but people stayed on
the line and someone helped. If the wait times were long, the
team offered a call back. And rest assured, the health insurance
marketplace continued to work until each member and
applicant is in the plan of their choice.
In this time of giving, please give others motivation and
information. Thank you.

Young Journalists continued from previous page
know about it,” Halle Roberts, 17, the Herald’s editor-inchief,
told a local TV station. “And as journalists, I feel that it
is our duty to do that. And I don’t think we were in the wrong
for that,” she said.
On Tuesday, after the Student Press Law Center had published
the censored story on its website and the faculty of the
University of Arkansas School of Journalism and Strategic
Media and members of the Northwest Arkansas chapter of the
Society of Professional Journalists weighed in with harsh
critiques of the administration’s actions, Springdale School
District officials relented and allowed the articles to be
reposted. In a statement, they called the matter “complex” and
“challenging” and said it merited a “thorough” review. “The
social and emotional well-being of all students has been and
• • •
continues to be a priority of the district,” they said.
“This statement may or may not answer all of your questions
but this is all we have to say,” they concluded. “The
district will not make anyone available for interviews.”
Not exactly a profile in courage. Further, such petulant
stonewalling sets a terrible example for the unfortunate students
whose schools these officials purport to lead.
We applaud the courageous student journalists at the Har-
Ber Herald, the BHS Register and elsewhere and urge them to
continue to investigate their school districts’ policies and how
they are being implemented. Perhaps their efforts will help
teach district officials a little something about the importance
of the First Amendment, the evils of censorship and the folly
of trying to bury the truth.

Gifford Medical Center
BIRTH
ANNOUNCEMENTS
The following birth announcements were submitted by Gifford Medical Center
on December 9, 2018. Any questions or concerns should be addressed directly to Gifford.
A girl, Peyton Rose-Mae Lacillade, was born November 19
to Ashley (Hull) Lacillade and Kevin Lacillade of Cabot.
A girl, Ruby Mae Harvey, was born December 2 to
Stacy (Cutting) Harvey and Bryant Harvey of Rochester.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
The arts are a strong part of the
Arian aspect, with music becoming
more dominant. An important
decision looms as a longtime relationship
takes an unexpected turn.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Surrounding yourself with
beautiful things helps restore the Taurean soul. Enjoy an
art exhibit, for example. Or redecorate your personal space
with something truly splendid.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Some colleagues might try
to talk you out of what they insist is a risk, but which you
consider an opportunity. As usual, follow your own good
sense when making your decision.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A workplace change you
might have worried about soon proves to be highly favorable
for the clever Crab who is ready to take advantage of
new opportunities opening up.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Congratulations. Your
Leonine pride is polished to a dazzling new brilliance
thanks to your success in winning support for your new
project from even the most doubtful of detractors.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An unsettling rumor
about a colleague’s apparently regrettable behavior is soon
proved groundless, allowing you to enjoy the upcoming
end-of-year festivities in a happy mood.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your success in
helping to create a harmonious environment out of a chaotic
situation earns you the admiration of someone who
could become an important new presence in your life.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your Scorpion’s
sense of loyalty could find you leading a passionate
defense of a loved one you feel is being unfairly treated.
The week’s end brings long-awaited family news.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your
keen instincts are once more on high alert as you find
yourself being pressured to make a quick decision about a
certain matter. More facts come to light by week’s end.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) An unexpected
workplace development could disrupt some family
plans. A full explanation, however, averts domestic discord.
A financial matter continues to need attention.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Spend time
away from distractions to reassess some recent moves that
might not have worked out as you had hoped. What you
learn could be invaluable for future decision-making.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A recent act of kindness
is a reminder of how important your friends are to
you. You might want to show your appreciation by hosting
a special pre-New Year’s party just for them.
BORN THIS WEEK: You always try to do your best, which
sometimes causes you to be critical of those who don’t live
up to your standards.

Season’s Greetings and
Safe New Year
(Sung to the tune of “The First Noel”)
“As the holidays approach,
Please keep safety in mind
So no accidents occur and
No injuries you’ll find.”
Yes, it’s holiday season
once again. The perfect time
to remind everyone of some
simple things you can do to
keep your family safe and
sound.
1. First, if you have a tree,
secure it well to keep it from
tipping over. If it is a live
tree, make sure it’s kept
watered so it doesn’t dry out.
Keep it away from floor heaters, fireplaces, or other heat
sources. If it is artificial, make sure it is fire resistant. Keep no
more than three strands of lights linked together on an extension
cord. And never use electric lights on a metal tree, unless
you’d enjoy a shocking experience.
2. If you have children, tinsel, small decorations and bulbs
should not be at the bottom of the tree. That’s where small
children can reach for them, put into their mouths and be at
risk for choking. In addition, some tree lights can have lead
content in the wires. Don’t ask children to hang lights, and
keep those wires out of reach. Even for parents, wear gloves
to hang the lights and wash your hands afterward to avoid lead
exposure.
3. Avoid candles on trees and please keep any lit candles out
of reach of small children. Turn off all lights and blow out all
candles when you sleep or leave the house to avoid a potential
fire hazard. And, much as you would any day of the year,
make sure your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are
working.
4. Most holiday plants are safe, but remember that mistletoe
and holly berries eaten in excess can be dangerous. If your
child does snack on a holiday plant, you can call the Northern
New England Poison Center at 1-800-222-1222.
5. Finally, if you are hosting a party in your home, don’t forget
to clean up the night of the party. That way, your child won’t
discover alcohol or small snack foods that can be choking
hazards the morning after.
To wrap up, just remember…
(Sung to the tune of “Jingle Bells”)
“So find some ways at holidays
So injuries don’t abound
Then you can really celebrate
With your kids safe and sound
So heed these rules and safety tools
So no one flips their lids
This is pediatrician Dr. Lewis First
Hoping you’ll be First with Kids!”
Lewis First, MD, is chief of Pediatrics at The University of Vermont
Children’s Hospital and chair of the Department of Pediatrics at the
University of Vermont College of Medicine. You can also catch “First
with Kids” weekly on WOKO 98.9FM and WPTZ Channel 5, or visit

Holiday Cookies Santa Will Love
Many people enjoy baking come the holiday season, and
perhaps no dish is more synonymous with holiday baking than
cookies. Children leave cookies out for Santa Claus on
Christmas Eve, while adults may indulge and enjoy an extra
cookie or two at family gatherings or holiday office parties.
Cookies come in all shapes and sizes, so bakers have an
array of options at their disposal when planning their holiday
menus. Chocolate chip cookies may be among the most popular
types of cookies, and bakers who want to capitalize on that
popularity while giving loved ones something a little different
may want to try the following recipe for “Double Chocolate
Chip Cookies” from Maxine Clark’s “Chocolate: Deliciously
Indulgent Recipes for Chocolate Lovers” (Ryland, Peters &
Small).
Double Chocolate Chip Cookies
Makes about 12 large cookies
5 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
5 tablespoons granulated sugar
5 tablespoons light brown sugar, sifted
1 large egg, beaten
1⁄2 teaspoon pure vanilla essence or chocolate extract (see
note)
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons self-rising flour
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1⁄4 teaspoon salt
2⁄3 cup (or more) dark and white (or milk) chocolate chips
(or roughly chopped chocolate)
A heavy, nonstick baking sheet
Preheat the oven to 350 F.
Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars together
until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg and vanilla essence.
Sift the flour with the cocoa and salt in a small bowl. Fold
into the egg mixture with the chocolate chips.
Place 4 heaping tablespoonsfuls of the mixture on the prepared
baking sheet, spacing them well apart. Press down and
spread out to about 1⁄4-inch thick with the back of a wet spoon
or with dampened fingers (you may like to scatter some more
chocolate chips over the top). Bake for 10 to 12 minutes. Let
cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire
rack. When cool, store in an airtight container. Repeat with the
remaining mixture.
Note: Chocolate extract is a fat-free flavoring ingredient
made from a blend of roasted cacao beans, water and alcohol.

The History Behind Some Beloved Christmas Songs
Holiday traditions vary from
family to family, but one
component of the holidays
that seems to be universally
enjoyed is a good Christmas song. Music
is piped throughout malls and stores to
entertain shoppers, and favorite tunes
may be on the radio or streamed through
a digital music service as families decorate
their homes.
Many people may love Christmas songs and carols, but
not everyone shares the same favorites. Thankfully, there’s
no shortage of material when it comes to Christmas songs,
ensuring there’s something for everyone.
In 2014, Time magazine researched records at the U.S.
opyright fce to determine the most popular and most
recorded Christmas songs since 1978. when copyright registrations
were digitized. The following are some of the more
beloved holiday tunes and a bit of history about each song.
• “Silent Night”: One of the most rerecorded songs in history
(733 versions since 1978), “Silent Night,” was composed
in 1818 by Franz Xaver Gruber and put to lyrics by Joseph
Mohr. t was rst performed on hristmas ve at t. icho-
las parish church in Oberndorf, a village in Austria. Today’s
version is a slow lullaby, but it’s believed the original was a
dance-like tune in 6/8 time.
• “O Holy Night”: This popular song was composed by Adolphe
Adam in 1847 to a French poem titled, “Minuit, chrétiens
(Midnight, Christians).” Many notable performers, including
Perry Como, Céline Dion, Josh Groban, Michael Crawford,
and Lea Michele, have performed “O Holy Night.”
• “Silver Bells”: Now a Christmas classic, “Silver Bells”
originally was written for the ob ope lm, he emon
Drop Kid.” Songwriter Jay Livingston wanted to title the
song “Tinkle Bell,” but his wife dissuaded him from using
the word “tinkle.”
• “White Christmas”: Irving Berlin believed his song “White
Christmas” would be an instant hit. His prediction was correct,
especially after singer Bing Crosby recorded it.
• “Jingle Bells”: Although it has become one of the more
popular Christmas songs, “Jingle Bells” really was written
for Thanksgiving. It’s also one of the oldest holiday songs
of American origin. James Lord Pierpont, the song’s author,
was inspired by the famous sleigh races of Medford, Massachusetts.
• “Do You Hear What I Hear”: Noel Regney wrote this song
as a call to peace during the Cuban Missile Crisis. The original
context has long been forgotten, and “Do You Hear What
I Hear” is now a staple of holiday celebrations.
• “Santa Claus is Coming to Town”: James Gillespie wrote
this tune while riding a subway and reminiscing about his
childhood with his brother. It became a hit after being performed
at the famed Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.
• “The Christmas Song”: This classic Christmas song was
written in 1944 by Bob Wells and Mel Tormé. It’s usually
subtitled “Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire.” The
song was written during a heat wave as a way to think cool
thoughts. It only took 40 minutes to write the music and
some of the lyrics. Nat King Cole’s rendition of the song is
among the more popular versions.
Christmas songs are enjoyed and performed year after
year. Popular songs continue to endure and attract new fans.

A LIGHT IN THE DARKNESS
The world can be a dark place. We see it in the news. We see it in our
lives. But on the first Christmas, a brilliant light pierced the darkness.
The child born in a Bethlehem stable had come to bring the light of
forgiveness and peace to a darkened world. Join us to celebrate the
birth of Jesus Christ! Our Christmas worship will feature an inspiring
message, favorite Christmas carols, and a place to bask in the light of
the Christ-child.
A Savor has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord.

Spiritual Christmas Traditions to Embrace
The holiday season is a special
and spiritual time of year. It can
sometimes be easy to get lost in
the more commercial aspects of
the holiday season, and there’s certainly
nothing wrong with shopping for gifts that
will show your loved ones how much you
love and appreciate them.
For those who want to focus back on the spiritual side of
this special time of year, the following suggestions can help
in those efforts.
SHARE THE STORY OF CHRISTMAS
The Gospels of Mark and Luke offer differing accounts of
the birth of Jesus Christ. Both indicate that Jesus was born to
Mary, who was engaged to Joseph, a carpenter. Mary became
pregnant through immaculate conception, as she was a virgin
when visited by an angel who informed her that she was
to carry God’s son. At the time of Christ’s birth, all Jewish
people had to be counted by Roman soldiers for tax purposes.
That required people to return to their places of birth.
As a result, Mary and Joseph set out on an arduous journey
to Bethlehem. Upon arriving in Bethlehem, inns had no
vacancies, but Mary and Joseph were given shelter in a stable
where Jesus was ultimately born.
ATTEND MASS
Churches traditionally hold religious services on Christmas
Eve and Christmas. These services are joyful expressions
of faith, music and community spirit. But Christmas mass
is not the only time to head to church. During Advent, the
four-week period preceding Christmas, Catholics prepare
and repent. Advent calendars help count down the days until
Christmas.
SET OUT A NATIVITY SCENE
Make a nativity scene the primary focus of Christmas
decorations and encourage children to play with the gures
and act out the Christmas story.
FOCUS ON GIFTS FOR GOOD
Families can focus their energies on faithful endeavors
and the spirit of giving that’s synonymous with the season.
Do good deeds for others, embrace peace and love and share
special time with others.
SING CAROLS
Spread the holiday spirit through song. Get together with
a group of friends or neighbors and go door-to-door, or hold
a caroling performance at a centralized location. Select religious
hymns, but also include some secular favorites.
The holiday season is a great time of year to reconnect
with one’s faith and spirituality.

Holiday shopping season typically begins the day after
Thanksgiving and etends all the way to hristmas ve.
While that’s a considerable amount of time for shoppers
to find gifts for everyone on their shopping list
many people will still fi nd themselves putting holiday shopping off
until the last minute.
In certain ways, last-minute holiday shopping is easier than ever. Thanks
to online retailers who can ship products overnight, men and women who
delay their holiday shopping have more options at their disposal than they
did before the arrival of the Internet. And unlike the days of yore when the
best deals were largely exclusive to lack riday, some shoppers nd that
competition between online retailers and traditional brick-and-mortar stores
is so great that deals can be found regardless of when they begin shopping.
But while waiting until the last minute to begin holiday shopping may not
be as risky as it used to be, shoppers may still benet by sticking to certain
strategies so they can nd the perfect gifts without breaking the bank.
• Stay within your budget. Even last-minute shoppers have holiday
shopping budgets. But it can be harder for last-minute shoppers to stick to
their budgets because they have less time to comparison shop and hunt for
deals. As the holiday shopping season winds down, resist the temptation
to go over budget. If a gift you had in mind is available but more than you
can spend, look for something else. Overspending on holiday shopping in
December is a recipe for debt in January, and no shopper wants to begin the
new year weighed down by consumer debt.
• Shop local. National chains and big box retailers are renowned for
rolling out great deals during the holiday season, but such stores may have
very limited or unimpressive inventory left by the time last-minute shoppers
begin shopping. Local retailers are often incapable of slashing prices as
signicantly as their larger competitors, and that may mean they have more
extensive inventories available throughout the holiday shopping season. In
addition, shoppers who stick with local retailers won’t have to pay shipping
costs to ensure items arrive on time.
• Shop during off-peak hours. Shopping during off-peak hours can help
last-minute shoppers make efcient use of the limited time they have to buy
gifts for their loved ones. Visit stores early in the morning or late at night,
or schedule a midweek afternoon shopping trip so you aren’t spending what
little time you have left waiting on lines or hunting for parking.
• Give something less traditional. Holiday gifts need not come from
stores. Rather than spending their time shopping for gifts for loved ones
who seemingly have it all, last-minute shoppers can give the gift of a donation
in their loved one’s name. Last-minute shoppers who want to give
something more tangible can create a homemade gift that’s both unique and
heartfelt. If your DIY skills are lacking, give a loved one the gift of a night
out on the town at your expense.
Shoppers who wait until the end of the holiday shopping season to begin
their
While holiday shoppers are often enthusiastic
about finding great gifts
for their loved ones, many are decidedly
less ecited about wrapping
those gifts. any holiday shoppers spend hours
wrapping gifts each year and as gift lists grow
so does the amount of time needed to get all of
those presents wrapped hidden packaged and
or shipped. hoppers can employ the following
strategies to make the process go much more
smoothly and to reduce gift wraprelated aniety.
• Relearn the basics. Some people may think they know how to wrap
gifts, only to realize it’s harder than it looks once the paper, scissors and
Scotch tape comes out. Relearn the basics by viewing online tutorials
prior to wrapping gifts so the lessons learned remain fresh in your mind.
Learn how to wrap standard clothing gift boxes and recognize that such
boxes can often be used to house oddly-shaped items.
• Wrap as you buy. Instead of getting bogged down with wrapping all in
one evening, wrap presents as you purchase them. This ensures that you
don’t leave everything for the last minute and reduces the likelihood that
curious kids or inquisitive spouses discover gifts before the big day.
• Work on a hard surface. It may be tempting to lay everything out on
your bed and wrap gifts while youre binge-watching the latest etix
series. But hard surfaces make the best places to wrap gifts. This ensures
there won’t be any wrinkles in the paper and that you won’t lose supplies
in the bedspread.
• Rely on double-sided tape. For that professional look, invest in some
double-sized tape so you will not have any unsightly tape lines.
• Keep all of your supplies together. Store wrapping paper, scissors,
tags, tape, ribbons, and whatever else you may need to wrap gifts in one
convenient location. This cuts down on time wasted hunting for supplies
around the house.
• Draw on plain gift boxes. Make your own “wrapped gifts” by drawing
or stenciling on plain gift boxes if you’re short on time.
• Identify recipients by gift wrap. Designate one gift wrap for each
person on your shopping list. This way you can easily distinguish one
person’s gifts from another’s. This can keep things more organized when
sorting and visiting with friends and relatives later on.
• Keep gift bags on hand. Gift bags work in a pinch and make it easy to
conceal gifts that are hard to wrap. Curious loved ones can easily peak
inside gift bags, so be sure to wrap gifts in tissue paper before placing
them in the bags.
• Less is usually more. Do not use too much paper when wrapping;
otherwise, you will be left with bulky, sloppy folds. Before trimming
the gift

Barre Merry HOLIDAY
EVENTS
Lots of people turned out for the horse drawn carriage rides in downtown this holiday. Merry
Christmas from the Barre Merchants. Thank you to Samantha Walsh and her team of horses.
Silent Auction for Barre
Meals on Wheels
Maisie Lajeunesse worked tirelessly since May soliciting
and gathering donations for the auction to benefit the Barre
Meals on Wheels program where she has volunteered for the
past two years. She never once let her disability hold her back
as she hugged her way through the Barre area with her coach,
Elizabeth Perreault. Together they put in well over 300 hours
working to benefit a cause that they believe in so passionately.
The donations that they gathered amounted to over 110 bid
items, raising over $2100 through dinner tickets, auction bidding
and donations. They will be presenting a check to Bob
Woodard, who manages the program, on Thursday, December
13 between 12:30 and 1:00 pm at the Meals on Wheels Café.
Thank you very much for your interest in this event that we
feel so strongly about. We hope that our effort will help many
local residents through the holiday season and beyond.
The wrapping of 160 boxes of new coats, hats, mittens and teddy bears for the 36th annual World Santa Project for area children was a
huge success last Saturday at the Vermont Granite Museum. The event, organized by World staffers Kay Roberts Santamore, Gary Hass,
Ruth Weeks and Barre Rotarians Caroline Earle and Leeann Marchinelli, got lots of help from the Barre Rotary Club and friends, including
the Central Vermont Young Professionals. “Scott McLaughlin of the Vermont Granite Museum could not have been a better host,”
reported Gary Hass, “The whole event was made into a real holiday party with even some Christmas carols sung by the Barre Rotary Club
Rotobarians.’ unraising continues to cover the greater amount of resents this year.
Christmas Music Origins
Scores of artists have released Christmas albums or
holiday-infused singles during their careers. Christmas music
can be broken down into two distinct categories: traditional
hymns and carols and popular secular songs.
Some believe that the religious standards have been
passed down since the earliest days of Christianity. However,
that is not so. Before the 12th century, music wasn’t typically
included in religious services, and even then music was
included only sporadically. In present day, religious tunes
identied as hristmas music typically are not sung until
Christmas Eve and thereafter until the Epiphany.
Many of the oldest Christmas songs are not old at all.
Many popular carols sung today are less than 200 years old.
The world’s most popular Christmas carol was originally
a poem penned in 1816 by Austrian Catholic priest Josef
Mohr. Two years later, Mohr asked Franz Xaver Gruber, an
organist and local schoolteacher, to put his words to music.
The resulting song, “Silent Night,” was not translated into
English for 40 years.
“Hark the Herald Angels Sing” also originated from a
poem and had the original opening line of, “Hark how all
the welkin rings.” The subsequent version was more catchy,
and the faster-paced accompaniment was courtesy of Felix
Mendelssohn, added 100 years after the poem was written.
“Jingle Bells,” a nonreligious tune that has become
synonymous with Christmas, was not originally written as a
Christmas tune. In fact, the song was intended to celebrate
Thanksgiving.

VCRD Invites Community Applications for 2019
Climate Economy Model Communities Program
The Vermont Council on Rural Development (VCRD)
invites communities interested in developing local solutions
that reduce carbon emissions and increase economic vitality
to participate in the 2019 Climate Economy Model
Communities Program. A collaboration of VCRD, Efficiency
Vermont, Vermont’s utilities and other partners, the Program
works with two communities annually to help build and
implement locally developed projects that increase economic
opportunity, affordability, and resilience in the face of climate
change. The Program kicked off in 2017 and is working or has
completed work in Pownal, Middlebury, Randolph and
Swanton. An overview of the efforts can be found here
-https://www.vtrural.org/sites/default/files/Overview%20
and%20ProfilesFinal.pdf.
“Many Vermont towns are grappling simultaneously with
two big questions – how can they strengthen their local
economy and how can they do their part as a community to
tackle climate change? The Climate Economy Model
Communities Program binds these two questions together and
helps towns identify and push forward projects that achieve
both goals. The Model Communities Program also provides
an important opportunity to address the needs of low and
middle-income Vermonters who face significant financial
burdens as they try to pay for electricity, heating, and transportation
fuels,” noted Paul Costello, Executive Director of
VCRD. “Participating towns and partners have rallied together
to develop a strong portfolio of local projects. New communities
selected for the program for 2019 will be able to
build upon this great platform of work as they chart their own
path.”
“At Efficiency Vermont we believe that town-level action
is key in Vermont’s efforts to reduce energy usage and energy
costs,” noted Rebecca Foster, Director of Efficiency Vermont.

“The Model Communities Program capitalizes on this potential
by bringing citizens together to develop and implement
local solutions. The unified and organized local teams that
emerge from this program are strong partners as we work to
unleash greater energy savings for homes, businesses, schools
and municipalities across Vermont.”
“Randolph had a strong record of accomplishments related
to renewable energy development and home weatherization
before we applied for this program,” noted Gary Dir who
coordinated Randolph’s application for the Model
Communities Program. “The Model Communities Program
has taken our work to the next level. At a time when we are
grappling with some major threats to our downtown, the program
has helped to unify us and to get things moving in a
positive direction. We are achieving immediate results, but
also long-lasting change that is so important for the long-term
economic and social health of the region.”
Project Director Jon Copans of VCRD released a Request-
For-Proposals soliciting applications from communities that
are interested in participating in the Model Communities
Program for 2019. Communities will have until January 18 to
apply. A copy of the RFP and more details about the program
can be found here - https://www.vtrural.org/programs/modelcommunities/apply-now.
The Climate Economy Model Communities Program is
made possible by support from VLITE, Jane’s Trust
Foundation, the Sustainable Futures Fund of the Vermont
Community Foundation, the Bay and Paul Foundations, the
Oakland Foundation, the High Meadows Fund, and VCRD’s
generous supporters. The Vermont Council on Rural
Development is a non-profit organization charged by the federal
farm bill to act as a neutral convener at both the local and
policy level supporting the progress of Vermont communities.

The History of Holiday Lights
Holiday celebrants employ holiday
lights in various ways. Certain
individuals may be content to hang
lights on their Christmas trees
and call their decorating complete. Others
may get their holiday jollies by making sure
each square inch of their home is covered in
twinkling lights. Still, other people prefer the
more subdued effect of lights framing one
picture window of the house.
The tradition of Christmas lights stretches back to early
modern Germany when people used candles to decorate
Christmas trees in Christian homes. Those candles were
harbingers of what would come when electric lights replaced
gas and other open ame illuminating devices that were
commonplace prior to the 20th century.
homas dison, the inventor of the rst successful practical
light bulb, also created the rst strand of electric lights
that would be used in holiday decorating. By 1880, Edison
had standard incandescent light bulbs well sorted out and desired
a way to better advertise his invention, so he decided to
make the most of the holiday season and put his light bulbs
on display. According to a 2003 article in American Heritage
magaine titled he iard of our hristmas ree, dison
strung incandescent bulbs all around the compound of
his Menlo Park, , laboratory. dison constructed an eightmile
underground wiring system in order to power this grand
light display. Because the laboratory was situated along the
railroad that passed between Manhattan and Philadelphia,
thousands of people were able to see the display.
The concept of electric holiday lights took a bit of time
to catch on. Edison’s friend and associate Edward Johnson
was tasked with stringing together colored lights in 1882 and
placing them on an evergreen tree. ohnson hand-wired
red, white and blue light bulbs. n 1, President rover
leveland reuested the hite ouse family hristmas tree
be illuminated by multi-colored electric light bulbs.
n 13, when eneral lectric began to offer pre-assembled
kits of holiday lights, stringed lights were reserved for
the wealthy and electrically savvy. or example, in 13
a single string of electric lights cost $12, or around $300
today.
t would take several more years before holiday lights became
a national tradition. n hristmas ve 123, President
alvin oolidge began the countrys celebration of hristmas
by lighting the National Christmas Tree on the Ellipse
located south of the White House with 3,000 electric lights.
oday, illuminated strands of lights have become a large
part of holiday celebrations and have even been adopted for
use during various year-round events. uch lights can be a
beautiful and festive addition to many celebrations.

Stay Safe When Stringing Holiday Lights
Lighting displays are one of the many things
that help make the holiday season a special
time of year. Often awe-inspiring, holiday
lighting displays present a perfect opportunity for
communities and individuals to showcase their
festive sides.
afety should always be a priority when stringing holiday
lights both inside and outside a home. he ational ire
Protection Association notes that, between 2009 and 2014,
re departments in the nited tates responded to an average
of 21 home res that started with hristmas trees per year.
ighting displays strung on home exteriors also can pose
safety risks if homeowners do not exercise caution. ortunately,
various strategies can help homeowners safely decorate
their homes interiors and exteriors this holiday season.
hoose a fresh tree. he P recommends celebrants
who prefer natural Christmas trees choose ones with fresh,
green needles that do not fall off when touched. Dry trees
are more likely to catch re than freshly cut trees. dding
water to the tree stand each day will keep trees fresher
longer. hen placing the tree, avoid placing it too close to
heat sources, making sure it is at least three feet away from
replaces, radiators, candles, heat vents, or lights.
• Check all lights before stringing them. All lights, including
those going on trees inside a home and those being strung
outside, should be inspected prior to being strung. Look for
any worn or broken cords and replace any defected lights.
• Employ the buddy system. When stringing lights, always
work with at least one other person. This makes it safe for
homeowners who must climb ladders to string lights on
especially tall trees andor on their home exteriors.
void working in inclement weather. he weather during
the holiday season can sometimes be unpleasant or unpredictable.
heck the forecast before stringing exterior lights
to ensure Mother ature wont pose a threat. void hanging
lights if the forecast predicts wet, icy or windy conditions
that can make ladders unstable.
urn lights off when going to bed andor leaving the house.
nterior and exterior holiday lights should not be left on
when no one is home or everyone inside is sleeping. f left
on overnight or when no one is home, lights may contribute
to res that damage homes and may even prove fatal.

The Damn Cold
Todd Washburne
Today, Tuesday, Gail and I walked
The streets of Montpelier.
It was so cold
That my breathe froze in my mouth.
It is a good thing I don’t speak
Very much to communicate.
I type on a keyboard and all my
Conversations are to be read.
So, not speaking a lot is not too
Noticeable in cold weather.
A few people were walking
And so bundled up that
Eyeballs staring straight ahead were all you saw.
A few homeless people
Sitting, freezing, and shaking
asking for help with money.
So, cold frigid weather
Be gone
And I am ready for spring.
With All My Love
By Old George
As I walk that last mile.
From you I must go.
Oh my darling.
At my grave, as you are kneeling.
Kiss a flower, to let me know.
From your heart.
Your love for me, will never go.
I will miss you, oh my darling.
Til we meet again in heaven.
With all my love you know.

The Sliding Hill
By Dottye Ricks
Silent it stands in the falling snow
Waiting for those who will come no more.
Who have grown and flown
where the wild winds blow,
never again its thrills to taste -
the ice and the cold on the downhill race.
Fly, Child, Fly – on the Sliding Hill.
Who sang and laughed and leapt and rolled
down that hill on sleds of old.
Who froze their hands, and cheeks and nose
seeking the ride, where the cold wind blows.
Swerving and turning and flipping around
Into the snow on the long run down.
Laugh, Child, Laugh – on the Sliding Hill.
And we the old, with calm and grace
Look back with love on that downhill race.
And remember with joy those days of yore
The children, the cold, and the blowing snow.
And in our minds, we see you still,
Seeking the drifts, the bumps, and the thrill,
Forever, in Joy – on the Sliding Hill.

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figure given at
the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by
following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given
(that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the
numbers below the diagram to complete its blank
squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

The Electric Scooter
By Todd Washburne
The Storm
By Corinne Davis
What a sight to see
A little boy on his electric scooter.
He laughed and smiled as he scooted
Down the bike path.
Did he think he was going 199 miles an hour.
If so, what a brave little boy.
I never ha a scooter, why I don’t know.
I can only imagine what the little boy felt.
Like the wind rushing by his face and blowing
His hair into a messy unkempt look.
His shirt blowing in the wind and his body
Relaxed and enjoying the adrenaline rush.
I never have had an adrenaline rush.
I have not ever had the freedom of
My body feeling free and going into the wind
With my hair blowing in the wind.
Letters on my board are magical, they appear and then
disappear.
The scooter is also magical.
Because I can close my eyes and pretend that it is me on
the scooter and that
My body is finally free of my awkward jerk movements
which
I think is one of the side effects of my jerk jerk autism.
My Heart Is True
By Old George
To you I give my soul to keep.
My love for you is deep.
Like the first rays of the morn sun.
To my heart, you are my only one.
From the meadow, a flower I well bring.
For you make my heart sing.
Love for you is my everything.
To ream of you, joy to my heart will bring.
For you are my hopes, my dreams.
At times, you are like a bee sting.
But then I look into your brown eyes.
Once again I forgive everything.
For how could I naught want you near.
I love only you my dear.
So as I dream of you.
My heart is true.
Rolling thunder soothes me like a lullaby
while branches of white light up the sky.
Heavy torrential rain quenches the
ground’s thirst.
Later on the horizon a rainbow has burst
Begrudgingly, in the distance a retreating
rumbling is heard.
Contented in nature I search for
unfound words.
As the trees let go of the heaviness
of rain.
Birds loudly squawk for their perches to regain.
The sun teeters back and forth, whether
to stay in or come out
Knowing that mother nature is never
Mister Squirrel
By Corinne Davis
Mr. Squirrel is beckoning to me,
Swinging through the trees like a chimpanzee
He sways and reaches and jumps around
Toying with my attention like a mime or clown
So furry and fat as he sits huddled on the fence,
Dutifully ready to avail his defense
Incessantly he cracks open each peanut or seed
While enemies embark out of their own greed
It is odd how his eyes are on each side of his head
Rather than like us, we look straight ahead
He doesn’t have a care and is back each day
He softens me like a child in mindless play.
First Snow
By Corinne Davis
This morning as I looked out the bay window in awe My kitten grasped
at snowflakes with her anticipating paw She is thinking if only I could
catch just one Or maybe she is in the act of just having fun I greeted my
neighbors as I walked down the drive Mesmerized by the beauty and
grateful to be alive
As I looked up at the white branches of the towering trees
I am locked in a trance and prompted to freeze
Hypnotized as I watch the flakes fall
I am consciously listening to hear his call
Mysteriously the snowflakes will disappear without a trace
Reminding me that I am always surrounded by God’s Grace

CHAD
Chad is 28lbs of adorable beagle! Unlike
some of his hound pals here, he is a quiet
guy who likes to use his nose whenever he
can. Looking for a canine companion to
keep you company in the car or around
the house? Chad is your pal! He is new
to CVHS as he was found as a unclaimed
stray so we are still getting to know him.
He's shown us he has good leash manners,
knows to sit, and is motivated by tasty
treats. We are not sure if he would like a
canine friend in his new home, so we would
do a dog-to-dog introduction before adoption. As you can see in his photo, he isn't
shy of a camera and loves to take a close up!

Should Shelters Lower the Cost of
Adoption?
DEAR PAW’S: My local
shelter has started holding
“free” adoption days twice
a year. It drops the $100
fee to adopt a pet (although
people still need to pay a
$10 processing fee, and
they get a collar and ID tag
with that). Taking care of
pets can be expensive, and I think these kinds of promotions
attract owners who aren’t going to invest in their new
pet and keep them healthy. What do you think about lowcost
shelter adoptions?
-- Colin H., via email
DEAR COLIN: If a lower adoption fee helps shelters find
homes for pets, and reduces shelter populations, I’m in
favor of it. However, I understand your reservations. In
some ways, it’s a gamble that the shelter takes on each new
person to come through its door. Will this person be the
forever family for a traumatized dog? Can a family with
kids care for a cat with special needs?
Some shelters vet potential owners before allowing
them to adopt, while others follow the more familiar “open
adoption” practice, where the criteria are not so strict.
Pet adoption fees are not about gatekeeping. These fees
cover the cost of caring for animals at the shelter: their
food and health care, as well as administration. In return,
new owners often receive a voucher or coupon for a free
vet visit and steeply discounted services like vaccination
and deworming. And the fee is far lower than the cost of
buying a pet through a breeder or at a pet store.
Whether a lower-cost promotion is in place or not,
potential new owners should always visit their nearest
shelter first as they search for their new pet.

How to recognize skin and food allergies in dogs
Allergies can affect anyone, even the
family dog.
According to the American Kennel Club, various types of
allergies can affect dogs. Skin allergies and food allergies can
be very unpleasant. And just like their owners, dogs may be
vulnerable to environmental allergens like dust, pollen and
mold.
Learning about allergies and how to recognize them in
dogs can help pet owners ensure their four-legged friends
live as happily and as comfortably as possible.
SKIN ALLERGIES
The most common type of allergic reactions in dogs, skin
allergies, also referred to as “allergic dermatitis,” are caused
by ea allergy dermatitis, food allergies or environmental
allergies. lea allergy dermatitis is an allergic reaction to ea
bites. ogs may be allergic to ea saliva, which can make
them very itchy, particularly at the base of their tails. As dogs
scratch their itches, their skin can become red and inamed
and may scab over.
The AKC notes that itchy skin may also be a byproduct
of food allergies or sensitivities to certain foods. In such instances,
the most common places dogs will itch are their ears
and paws. Itchiness also may be accompanied by gastrointestinal
issues.
Dogs that only seem to itch their skin during certain times
of the year may be dealing with skin allergies resulting from
environmental allergens like dust, pollen and mold. The ears
and paws are the most commonly affected areas in these
instances, though dogs also may feel itchiness in other areas,
such as their wrists, ankles, muzzle, underarms, groin, around
their eyes, and in between their toes.
FOOD ALLERGIES AND SENSITIVITIES
The AKC notes that food allergies may not be as common
as people think. In many instances, food sensitivities are to
blame for many symptoms dogs exhibit. If the veterinarian
suspects a dog has a food sensitivity, he or she will work
with dog owners to identify the ingredient that is causing a
reaction. Both food allergies and food sensitivities can trigger
gastrointestinal problems like diarrhea and/or vomiting. Skin
conditions like hives and facial swelling may be indicative of
an allergy. Itchiness, poor skin and coat, and chronic ear or
foot infections are among the symptoms of food sensitivities
noted by the AKC.
Diagnosing allergies in dogs can be complicated. Veterinarians
may rst try to rule out other conditions that may be
causing symptoms in your dog. If the vet suspects an allergy,
he or she may try to conrm this by utiliing an elimination
diet that restricts what the dog eats for 12 weeks. Learn more
about dogs and allergies at www.akc.org.

Home for the Holidays:
Is Your Car Up for the Journey?
AUTOMOTIVE
Pre Trip Inspection- Is Your Car Ready for the Holiday JourneyBefore you pack up the
car to head home for the holidays, the Car Care Council reminds you to make sure
your vehicle is ready for the journey. Conducting a thorough vehicle inspection will
help you avoid the inconvenience and potential safety hazards of breaking down miles
away from home.
“It’s easy to remember to get your family ready for the
holiday festivities, but what about preparing the car that’s
going to get you there?” said Rich White, executive director,
Car Care Council. “Having a pre-inspection performed on
your car will give you peace of mind as you travel and help
make your journey safer.”
Before leaving home, the Car Care Council recommends a
check of the following, often overlooked, items: tires and tire
pressure, brakes, hoses and belts, air lters, wipers, exterior
and interior lighting, and uid levels, including engine oil,
windshield washer solvent and antifreeze/coolant.
“A pre-trip inspection provides the opportunity to have
service repairs made at home by your own trusted technician
who knows the vehicle, and helps reduce the chance of
costly and dangerous trouble on the road,” said Rich While.
9 Steps For a Winter Ready Car
Steps to Winterize You VehicleThe last thing any driver needs is to break down in cold,
harsh winter weather. A vehicle check now before winter arrives is a sensible way to
be car care aware and avoid the inconvenience of being stranded out in the cold and
with the unexpected expense of emergency repairs, says the Car Care Council.
“Winterizing your vehicle before the temperatures drop is
a wise idea,” said Rich White, executive director, Car Care
Council. “An investment of an hour or two to have your
vehicle checked is all it takes to have peace of mind and
help avoid the cost and hassle of car trouble during severe
weather.”
The Car Care Council recommends the following steps
for winterizing your vehicle:
If you’re due for a tune-up, have it done before winter
sets in. inter magnies existing problems such as pings,
hard starts, sluggish performance or rough idling.
Have the battery and charging system checked for optimum
performance. Cold weather is hard on batteries.
lean, ush and put new antifreee in the cooling system.
As a general rule of thumb, this should be done every two
years.
Make sure heaters, defrosters and wipers work properly.
Consider winter wiper blades and use cold weather washer
uid. s a general rule, wiper blades should be replaced
every six months.
Check the tire tread depth and tire pressure. If snow
and ice are a problem in your area, consider special tires
designed to grip slick roads. During winter, tire pressure
should be checked weekly.
Have the brakes checked. The braking system is the
vehicle’s most important safety item.
Have the exhaust system checked for carbon monoxide
leaks, which can be especially dangerous during cold
weather driving when windows are closed.
• • •
The Car Care Council also recommends that drivers keep
important telephone numbers in their cell phone or glove
box in case of a breakdown or travel emergency. Vehicles
should have a roadside emergency kit that includes items
such as a rst aid kit, a tire-changing ack, a tire pressure
gauge, umper cables, a ashlight and a blanket. copy of
the recently-updated 80-page Car Care Guide should be kept
in the glove box and can be ordered free of charge at www.
carcare.org/car-care-guide.
The Car Care Council is the source of information for
the “Be Car Care Aware” consumer education campaign
promoting the benefits of regular vehicle care, maintenance
and repair to consumers. For a free copy of the council’s
popular Car Care Guide or for more information, visit www.

Check to see that exterior and interior lights work and
headlights are properly aimed.
e diligent about changing the oil and lter at recommended
intervals. Dirty oil can spell trouble in winter.
Consider changing to “winter weight” oil if you live in a
cold climate. Have your technician check the fuel, air and
transmission lters at the same time.
Motorists should also keep the gas tank at least half full
at all times to decrease the chances of moisture forming in
the gas lines and possibly freezing. Drivers should check the
tire pressure of the spare in the trunk and stock an emergency
kit with an ice scraper and snowbrush, jumper cables,
ashlight, ares, blanket, extra clothes, candlesmatches,
bottled water, dry food snacks and needed medication.

PUT THINGS IN STORAGE.
Rent a storage unit to house items that can make a home
appear cluttered. Clean out closets and cabinets, so that when
buyers “snoop” during appointments or open houses they see
orderly storage areas. If closets are brimming with stuff, buyers
may assume the house doesn’t have enough storage space
and move on.
MAKE IT LIGHT AND BRIGHT.
Open up all of the drapes and blinds, and turn on overhead
lights so the house is well-lit. Add table lamps or other
xtures to especially dim rooms.
CREATE A HOTEL EXPERIENCE.
Forbes suggests making bathrooms look like a spa. Stack
a few pretty washcloths tied with ribbon, add some scented
candles and faux plants and buy bathmats and towels in
coordinating tones.
Remove extraneous items from kitchen counters and
replace them with vases of owers. n addition, set up dining
spaces as if one were sitting down to a meal, and ensure appliances
are sparkling clean.
USE COMMON ‘SCENTS’.
kip the sh, bacon or other aromatic meals for a few
days, as such foods can leave lingering aromas. Baked goods,
vanilla and cinnamon might make for more appealing scents.
Making a home sell fast involves preparation and the
knowledge that buyers are often greatly inuenced by their
rst impressions.
