Vermont Barn Socks Fundraiser to

Support Local Non-Profits

Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel raised $4,132 for

the Vermont Foodbank and JCEO

Plattsburgh Foodshelf through a clever fundraising

event this holiday season.

For the third year in a row, Lenny’s teamed

up with Darn Tough Vermont to create a

limited-edition sock. The Vermont Barn

Sock was released exclusively at Lenny’s in

October and sold out by mid-December. In

tribute to the Vermont lifestyle, these socks

honor the barns that bring our communities

together. Lenny’s donated $2.00 from every

pair sold to the Vermont Foodbank in Barre

and JCEO Foodshelf in Plattsburgh.

“This has become a much-anticipated holiday

gift for our customers,” said Amanda

Cashin, Marketing Director at Lenny’s. “We

are thrilled to continue this tradition with

Darn Tough and will be releasing a new,

limited-edition sock design next holiday season!”

“This support means so much to our

neighbors facing hunger,” says Vermont

Foodbank CEO, John Sayles. “Thanks to

Lenny’s and their customers, the one in four

Vermonters who struggle to put food on the

table will have a place to turn to feed themselves

and their families. There is no better

gift you could give to our community. Thank

you Lenny’s!”

Over the past eight years, Lenny’s has

donated over $137,000 to the Vermont

Foodbank and JCEO Plattsburgh Foo

Making Those New

Resolutions Come True

Across Vermont and around the world people turned the

calendar to 2020 and set new and renewed goals for better

health and wellness. The Department of Health wants you to

know there are an amazing number of supports and resources

available at your fingertips to help you to succeed.

From finding healthy weight programs in your community,

to getting a flu shot, to quit smoking help, here are a few

of our top resources. Find them all at HealthVermont.gov.

Improve Your Health

• A great place to start – MyHealthyVT.org

Whether it’s a goal to lose weight, or finding help to manage

your diabetes, chronic pain or other long-term health

problems, local coordinators connect you with workshops

near you. Vermonters who complete our workshops report

big improvements in their health and overall well-being.

• Healthy Eating – healthvermont.gov/MyMoment

By staying a healthy weight, you feel better and can reduce

your risk of heart disease and stroke. A healthy weight can

also help control other conditions such as high blood pressure,

high blood cholesterol and diabetes.

• Smoking, Tobacco and Vaping – 802Quits.org

Increase your success in quitting tobacco or vaping with

802Quits. Get tips and tools - including nicotine replacement

therapy – to help you find the path that works for you. Call

1-800-QUIT-NOW or visit 802Quits.org.

• Alcohol & Drinking – healthvermont.gov/alcohol

If you’re concerned that you or someone you know may

need help dealing with alcohol dependency, visit our website

for information and treatment and recovery resources.

Try this quick online quiz to see if your drinking habits are

safe, risky or harmful: AlcoholScreening.org.

• Drugs and Substance Use – healthvermont.gov/

FindTreatment

We know how difficult it is to take the first steps to find

treatment and help to succeed in recovery. That’s why we

open as many doors as possible. Whether for yourself or

someone you know, potentially life-saving support and treatment

is available – right now, near you.

• Walk the Walk – safestreets.vermont.gov/WatchForMe

It’s hard be active in the winter, but even short walks can

make a difference. Check out these tips on staying safe while

walking, and for watching for others when you drive.

Stay Healthy & Prevent Illness

• You First – YouFirstVT.org

Screening and personalized supports that connect eligible

Vermonters to breast, cervical and heart screenings, diagnostic

tests and heart healthy lifestyle programs. Members

can get free memberships to WW® (Weight Watchers),

TOPS® and local gyms, farmers’ market coupons, and more.

• Get Vaccinated – healthvermont.gov/immunizations

Vaccinations help protect people from the risk of disease,

especially infants who are too young to be vaccinated. And

now that it’s flu season, you’ll want that flu shot right away.

• Ready to be Steady – FallsFreeVermont.org

Falls, especially among older Vermonters, can lead to

chronic health problems and loss of independence. Resolve

to improve your balance and prevent future falls with these

free screening events and exercise classes.

• Be Tick Smart – healthvermont.gov/BeTickSmart

what to do to prevent tick-borne diseases.

Take Care of Your Family

• Talk with your Kids – ParentUpVT.org

Parents are their kids’ #1 influence as they navigate the

challenges of drugs, alcohol and mental health. In fact, children

whose parents tell them about the risks of drug use are

significantly less likely to use drugs. But these are hard conversations.

ParentUp offers tips and guidance for being the

best influence possible.

• Growing Families – healthvermont.gov/wic

WIC gives you access to healthy foods, nutrition counseling

and breastfeeding support. If you’re pregnant, recently

had a baby, or have a child under age 5, WIC is right for you.

in it, healthy and safe. Get useful information about lead

poisoning, radon, cleaning chemicals and more.

• Drinking Water – healthvermont.gov/water

and to know how to keep your water safe to

drink.

• Be Prepared – healthvermont.gov/EmergencyPrep

Over 500 Acres Protected for Sugaring and Wildlife

Arthur Berndt of Maverick Farm conserved 564 acres of

mostly forested land, the Vermont Land Trust announced. A

23,000-tap sugarbush with valuable wildlife habitat—including

a large vernal pool and streams that flow into the White

River—has been protected from development.

The property lies in Sharon on the Pomfret line, near

Interstate 89. Once one of the largest sugaring operations in

the state, Maverick Farm is owned and operated by Berndt.

He and his late wife, Anne Berndt, began working the land in

1988 and received organic certification as early as 1991.

Berndt said he and Anne discussed conservation for many

years and that it was Anne’s dream to protect their property.

“It all feels satisfying; it feels really good to conserve our

land. My wife would be happy,” he said.

Berndt also said he worked with the Vermont Land Trust

to preserve the opportunity for future sugaring on the property.

He is considering leasing the sugarbush while transitioning

out of the active business.

Last year the sugarbush produced 13,000 gallons of certified

organic maple syrup sold in bulk to Butternut Mountain

Farm, a large maple processor and distributor in northern

Vermont that ships products worldwide.

“[Arthur] pioneered using high-quality equipment,” said

David Marvin, owner of Butternut Mountain Farm, who has

worked with Berndt for nearly 30 years. “[Maverick Farm is]

a very productive farm with good soils… and has been managed

to produce economic value.”

Norwich University Receives $20K Grant from TD Charitable

Foundation for Tiny House, Homeless Program

Norwich University has been awarded a $20,000 grant

from TD Bank through the TD Charitable Foundation, the

charitable giving arm of TD Bank America’s Most Convenient

Bank to fund the development of the next generation affordable

tiny houses by students and faculty in the College of

Professional Schools School of Architecture + Art through

Norwich’s Design+Build Collaborative.

As the only university in northern New England to offer

integrated professionally accredited programs in

Architecture, Business, Engineering, Construction, and

Nursing, Norwich’s Design + Build Collaborative (the

Collaborative) calls on students to “act as well as conceive”

and create solutions for local, regional, and global challenges.

The grant will support a new Collaborative program,

which will develop regionally derived and affordable permanent

supportive housing units as well as nursing care and

wrap-around services to Vermont’s vulnerable community

members.

“We are proud to support Norwich’s Design + Build housing

initiative as it provides an opportunity to advance TD’s

social purpose to build sustainable, inclusive communities

and make a lasting positive impact,” said Phil Daniels,

Market President, TD Bank.

A continuing partnership with Washington County

Mental Health Services (WCMHS) and Downstreet Housing

& Community Development (Downstreet) in Barre,

Vermont will enable the Collaborative to further develop,

design, and build a prototype new home called LIFT 2.0

based on a custom-designed energy-efficient small home

(approximately 300 SF) built earlier this year, named “LIFT.”

Through Norwich’s Community Nursing practicum, a

School of Nursing (SoN) senior student assisted the LIFT

design build team by providing education and research

related to homelessness and mental illness. LIFT 2.0 will

create refined permanent supportive housing that is more

cost-effective as well as respond to data from a SoN housing

Build A Betta Tank Workshop

Sunday January 12th 1pm-4pm

Come to any One Stop Country Pet Supply location for expert help

in setting up a new Betta tank! We will have a dedicated person

in each of our fish rooms to help you select the best options to fit

your needs.

Receive 10% off all your betta supplies as well as

a FREE betta (valued up to $3.99)

This experience will be fun for the whole family and kicks off our week long sale on all things related to Bettas.

The conservation was funded by a grant from the Vermont

Housing and Conservation Board. Gus Seelig, Executive

Director, said, “VHCB is proud to support the protection of

the Maverick Farm woodlands and we appreciate the significant

amount of leverage brought to the project. Conservation

will protect water quality and wildlife habitat, assist with the

owner’s retirement planning, and make the land more

affordable to a future owner.”

The property includes several wetlands, a large vernal

pool where signs of spotted salamanders and wood frogs

have been found, and perennial streams. To protect wildlife

habitat, activities to manage the woods and sugarbush are

restricted within these areas.

“The Berndts have championed conservation and environmental

causes for decades,” said Bob Linck of the

Vermont Land Trust. “It was our pleasure to help them carry

out their goal of permanently conserving the land closest to

their hearts.”

About the Vermont Land Trust

The Vermont Land Trust is a statewide, member-supported,

nonprofit land conservation organization. Since 1977,

the Vermont Land Trust has protected 2,000 parcels of land

covering more than 595,000 acres, or 11 percent of the state.

This includes more than 900 working farms and farmland

parcels, hundreds of thousands of acres of productive forestland,

and numerous parcels of community lands. For more

preference survey administered to homeless individuals with

mental illness living in or near Washington County. In addition,

a Spring 2020 Design Thinking + Innovation class with

Architecture, Engineering, and Nursing faculty and students

in partnership with Downstreet, WCMHS, and the Vermont

Agency of Human Services will investigate how to provide

nursing care and wrap-around services for LIFT 2.0 residents

and other vulnerable community members.

The Collaborative will design and build the LIFT 2.0

home to meet Downstreet, WCMHS and future residents’

needs and provide the construction documents to

Downstreet for additional permanent supportive housing

units in the future.

“Working together, we will develop housing and services

that benefit the most vulnerable Vermonters,” says Cara

Armstrong, Director of the Design + Build Collaborative.

“Studies show that for someone with a mental health condition,

the lack of safe and affordable housing is one of the

most powerful barriers to recovery.”

This contribution supports TD’s longstanding commitment

to community enrichment through TD’s corporate

citizenship platform, The Ready Commitment. The Ready

Commitment actively promotes inclusivity, economic vitality,

environmental wellbeing and health, enabling people of

all backgrounds to succeed in a rapidly changing world. As

part of The Ready Commitment, TD targets US $775 million

in total by 2030 towards community giving in four critical

areas: Financial Security, a more Vibrant Planet, Connected

Communities and Better Health. Through this platform, TD

aspires to create a more inclusive tomorrow – helping people

of all backgrounds feel more confident, not just about

their finances, but about their ability to achieve their goals.

It’s Time to Invest in

Vermont Tourism

By Amy Spear, Vice President of Tourism for the Vermont

Chamber of Commerce

Tourism is a significant economic driver for many of

Vermont’s rural communities. Visitors spend more than $2.5

billion in Vermont each year, and the tourism industry

employs more than 32,000 Vermonters. The tax revenue

generated by the tourism industry each year equates to a

$1,450 tax savings for every Vermont household. Yet, the

State budget has decreased promotion for this important

industry by 6% over the last five years, resulting in an overall

budget of $3.1 million with only $2 million designated for

destination marketing. It’s time to reverse that trend and

invest an additional $500,000 in destination marketing to

help the small businesses remain viable and contribute to the

economic vitality of our rural towns and villages.

After manufacturing, tourism represents the largest contribution

of out-of-state money into the state’s economy.

Additionally, the economic activity in our accommodations

sector generates three times more dollar volume compared

to the national average. We are fortunate that our robust

tourism economy extends beyond the peak summer months

typical of Northeastern destinations and includes busy foliage

and winter tourism.

Vermont’s destination marketing capitalizes on distinct

local characteristics which define towns and regions, amplifying

Vermont’s authentic experiences to the 80 million

people within a day’s drive of Vermont. The same attributes

that give Vermonters a good quality of life also attract visitors.

Many of Vermont’s intrinsic qualities in our rural communities

are not available to those living in major metros,

and they are desirable qualities in a vacation destination.

It’s not just vacations that benefit Vermont, but visitors

who become residents contribute even more to our economy.

When out-of-state people visit our communities, they

experience a glimmer of what life could be like for them to

live and work here. During their vacation, they might meet

future colleagues and neighbors, discover a new business

adventure, engage in a conversation that sparks a job idea,

stumble upon their perfect community or home, or reaffirm

a desire to make a life change and move to Vermont. Many

Vermonters were once visitors who chose to become residents.

In fact, according to Vermont’s Agency of Commerce

and Community Development, 79% of remote worker program

grantees first experienced Vermont as a tourist.

Courtenay Dundy exemplifies a visitor who became a

Vermonter. She spent more than a decade living around the

world working in hospitality before settling in Ludlow, a

rural community with less than 2,000 residents, where she

purchased the Pettigrew Inn. She wanted a location where

she could plant roots and become part of a community.

When she found the inn for sale in Ludlow, she knew it

would become her home.

“I appreciate the comradery and support within the community

here. I feel like everyone wants me to succeed and

has helped me to navigate some of the challenges I face as a

first-time entrepreneur,” she said. An increase in destination

marketing funding by the State will help rural innkeepers,

like Dundy, by encouraging tourists to call Vermont home.

Our neighboring and competing states, like New

Hampshire, New York and Maine, have much larger budgets,

ranging from $8 million to $50 million annually. What’s

more, according to the U.S. Travel Association, Vermont is

the only New England state to lose visitor spending market

share over the last five years. Without a commitment to destination

marketing, Vermont risks losing more of our market

share and having the story of our iconic experiences muted

compared to other states.

It’s time to work together as Vermonters to reverse the

trend and increase spending on destination marketing

efforts. A $500,000 increase in the budget of the Vermont

Department of Tourism and Marketing is an investment that

will support our towns, local businesses, workers, taxpayers

and our future.

Join the tourism industry on January 15, 2020 for the second

annual Tourism Day at the State House and visit the

Vermont Chamber’s tourism advocacy landing page to sign

the petition to support increased tourism funding and learn

how to get involved. With strong support, Vermont can

maintain its preeminence as a world-class destination and

ensure a thriving economy that benefits all Vermonters.

Amy Spear is the Vice President of Tourism for the Vermont

Chamber of Commerce. As a legislative priority, the Vermont

Chamber supports increased and dedicated investment in tourism

marketing to maintain Vermont’s competitive market share.

Amy Spear lives in Killington.

Vermont’s Small Businesses

Concerned About Growing List of

Costly Legislative Proposals

As the legislature convenes in Montpelier, there are many

legislative initiatives that will increase the cost of doing business

and hinder the owner’s ability to operate and to succeed.

NFIB, representing hundreds of small businesses across the

state, will be closely monitoring these bills and explaining

the consequences to lawmakers. More than half of the

Vermont workforce is employed by small businesses (63.3%),

and there are 77,615 small businesses in the state.

“The Legislature needs to be laser-focused on policies that

lead to economic growth, rather than adding more costs to

Vermont’s small business sector,” said Shawn Shouldice, state

director of NFIB in Vermont. “The conversations about

expanding paid leave funded with a payroll tax, artificially

increasing Vermont’s base wage, double-digit property tax

increases, fuel taxes and higher health insurance premiums

have our members very concerned.”

“With more and more Vermonters seeking greener pastures,

placing more financial pressure on the state’s small

businesses is endangering job creation and the ability for

workers to meet their financial needs,” added Shouldice.

January is National Mentoring Month

January is National Mentoring Month.

This January marks the 19th annual National

Mentoring Month, a campaign acknowledging

and celebrating the impact mentoring

makes in our communities. Twinfield

Together Mentoring Program will be joining

other mentoring programs from around the

state to thank current mentor volunteers and

raise awareness of the need for more mentors

across Vermont.

This year Three Penny Taproom in

Montpelier will show their support of mentoring

by donating 5% of sales from Tuesday

January 14th to Twinfield Together

Mentoring Program.

Twinfield Together will also collaborate

with the Sexual Assault Crisis team of

Washington County to host an “Askable

Adult” dinner discussion on Thursday

January 16th at Twinfield School from 6:00-

8:00 PM. In a statewide youth survey,

Vermont youth overwhelmingly ranked having

more ‘askable’ and supportive adults in

their lives as the number one thing that

would address their concerns at school and

in their communities. Come spend an evening

practicing skills and self-awareness to

support youth in the development of healthy

relationships by becoming an “Askable

Adult!” This facilitated dinner discussion is

free and open to the public. Call 426-3213

X255 for more information.

Celebrating Victor Jara

Musicians including Bono, Pete Seeger,

Holly Near, and Arlo Guthrie help explore

the legacy and cultural resurgence of Chilean

musician and political activist Victor Jara in

the award-winning film, “The Resurrection

of Victor Jara,” on Saturday, January 25 at 7

PM at Barre’s historic Old Labor Hall, 46

Granite Street.

Written and produced by UVM economics

teacher John Summa, “The Resurrection of

Victor Jara,” chronicles the life and untimely

death of the Chilean theater director, musician,

activist, and teacher known as “the Bob

Dylan of South America.” A leader of the

Nuevo Cancionero (“New Songbook”)

movement, Jara joined folk-based music with

socially-committed lyrics to help inspire

movements for social change in Latin

America, Portugal, and Spain during the

1970s and ‘80s. At age 42 following the 1973

coup against Chile’s democratically elected

socialist president Salvador Allende, Jara was

arrested, tortured and assassinated by the

usurping president Augusto Pinochet’s military.

His body, shot 44 times, was dumped in

the street.

Weaving interviews and archival materials

supported by an original score and Jara

songs, the film reveals why Jara’s values and

music have transcended multiple generations

and have remained a powerful cultural sym-

On Wednesday January 22nd, Twinfield

Together mentors and mentees will join

Mentor Vermont at the mentor celebration

at the Capitol Plaza Hotel and Statehouse.

This annual event brings together youth

mentees, mentors, legislators, and supporters

to recognize the 2,300 mentor and mentee

matches from across the state. Twinfield

Mentor Terri Weinstein will be one of ten

mentors who will be recognized as an ambassador

of mentoring in Vermont.

About Twinfield Together Mentoring

Program (TTMP): Twinfield Together

Mentoring Program has been strengthening

youth and community through a culture of

mentoring since 2009. The Mission of TTMP

is to provide all interested youth in our community

an opportunity for a one-on-one

friendship with a responsible, attentive and

nurturing role model through a mentoring

relationship. Twinfield Together supports

over 70 one to one matches across three programs,

resulting in over 33% of Twinfield

student body participating in the mentoring

program. TTMP is funded through a combination

of grants, private donations, the

school budget, various fundraising efforts

and local business supporters. For more

information about our three mentoring programs,

rights and social justice.

The film was named Best Latin

Documentary at the 2016 Sunscreen Film

Festival. It also received the Vermont

International Film Foundation’s 2015 Ben &

Jerry’s Award.

Comparing Jara to Seeger and Woody

Guthrie, Summa says, “Victor transcends

politics. You don’t have to like the politics

associated with Victor to love him.” A question-and-answer

session with Summa will

follow the showing.

Tickets for “The Resurrection of Victor

Girls on the Run Vermont Needs Volunteers to Lead Girls this Spring

Girls on the Run is an

inclusive physical activitybased,

positive youth development

program that

inspires girls in 3rd through

8th grade to be joyful,

healthy and confident. The

ten-week program teaches

critical life skills, encourages

personal development and

fosters team building and

community service.

Volunteer coaches utilize a

curriculum to engage teams

of girls in fun, interactive lessons.

Girls on the Run Vermont serves girls at 75 sites in Northern

Vermont and is in need of 200 more coaches to ensure that girls

will have an opportunity to participate in this transformative

program this season. Volunteer coaches facilitate lessons to

small teams of girls who typically meet after-school twice a

week for 90 minutes. The program culminates with all teams

participating in a celebratory 5K event. Individuals must be

eighteen years old to serve as an assistant coach or twenty-one

years old to serve as a head coach. Junior coaches are also

encouraged to apply. Volunteer coaches do not need to be runners

but must complete a background check and participate in

on-line and in-person training.

Sites, by county, that are most in need of coaches are:

Addison County: Beeman Elementary School, Bristol

Elementary School, Mary Hogan Elementary School,

Robinson Elementary School, Caledonia County: Barnet

School, Danville, St. Johnsbury School, Walden School,

Waterford School, Chittenden County: Brewster-Pierce

Memorial School, Charlotte Central School, C.P. Smith

Funding Available for Organizations and Programs that Support Viable

Career Pathways for Vermont Women and Girls

Funding is now available from the Vermont Women’s

Fund at the Vermont Community Foundation for programs

that support viable career pathways and career prospects for

Vermont women and girls.

The Vermont Women’s Fund was established in 1994 as an

enduring resource to support women and girls in the state.

A council of women from around Vermont advises the Fund

and participates in its grant-making and leadership work,

including the work of its partnership with the Vermont

Commission on Women and Vermont Works for Women—

Change The Story—an initiative seeking to fast-track women’s

economic security in Vermont.

To achieve a deep and strategic impact, the Vermont

Women’s Fund will continue to focus its grant-making on an

area highlighted by the research of Change The Story:

women and girls on the pathway to viable careers. There are

significant funding gaps in this area, and the Women’s Fund

believes it is uniquely positioned to make a difference.

New State Government Resource to

Help Vermonters Address Sexual

Harassment and Workplace

Discrimination

Cary Brown, Executive Director of the Vermont

Commission on Women, announced new resources available

today from the Workplaces For All public education program,

workplacesforall.vermont.gov, to make workers,

employers, and all Vermonters aware of laws that apply to

them, their legal rights, methods of reporting, where to find

information, strategies for prevention, and ways to address

sexual harassment and discrimination in the workplace.

Resources available at this new website include:

• For workers, where to get help if you’re experiencing

harassment or discrimination at work — and how to support

co-workers

• For employers, guidance and best practices for prevention

and response, a state directory of workplace trainers, and

in-depth explanations of different types of discrimination

and many resources for more information

• An extensive video library featuring stories, information,

and trainings

• A new guidebook, Addressing Sexual Harassment in the

Workplace

• Infographics, fact sheets, and Frequently Asked Questions

about workplace discrimination and sexual harassment

In addition to the website, the Workplaces For All public

education program includes radio and television public service

announcements, social media and search engine advertising,

and printed informational materials. These materials

and resources have a fresh look, featuring new photography

of Vermont workplaces.

The Workplaces For All campaign is a result of legislation

which allocated funds to the Vermont Commission on

Women (VCW), in consultation with the Vermont Attorney

General’s office and the Vermont Human Rights Commission,

to inform and assist workers, employers, and members of the

public in preventing and addressing sexual harassment and

workplace discrimination.

Vermont Commission on Women (VCW) is a non-partisan

state commission working to advance rights and opportunities

for women and girls. Sixteen volunteer commissioners

and representatives from organizations concerned with

women’s issues guide VCW’s public education, coalition

building, and advocacy efforts.

Workshop Theme, “Analyzing Propaganda

and Teaching Media Literacy,” updates educational

resources available to enhance

schools’ fight against bias and intolerance, in

Vermont and nationwide.

The Vermont Holocaust Memorial

(VTHM), the State’s sole voice for advocating

education as a means of transmitting the

tragic lessons of the Holocaust to combat

antisemitism and intolerance, is again offering

Vermont educators a workshop through

which they can acquire relevant tools and

creative approaches. The 2020 program is

scheduled for Wednesday, March 25th, 9

a.m. – 3 p.m., in Woodstock, VT.

The 2019 edition of the workshop drew

teachers and administrators from numerous

institutions from all over Vermont and New

Hampshire, according to VTHM. The

opportunity for networking, as well as the

chance to learn new approaches to fighting

bias, proved greatly beneficial, according to

participants. Teachers interested in participating

can register at https://www.holocaustmemorial-vt.org/2020-workshop

This year’s program is being presented in

partnership with the educational nonprofit

organization Echoes & Reflections. The

group is regarded as a premier source of

Holocaust materials to support educators; its

mission is to provide schools nationwide

with academic tools helpful for looking back

at history, while positively impacting the

future.

“The rise of intolerance, including antisemitism,

in all its manifestations—including

murder—is a most disturbing phenomena as

we enter a new decade,” said Debora

Steinerman, a cofounder of VTHM.

“Educating our youth, through the good will

and skills of our teachers and their institutions

throughout Vermont, will be invaluable

in combating this troubling epidemic.”

The 2020 Workshop will be led by Ms.

Evelyn Loeb, LCSW-R. Loeb has been a

facilitator for ADL’s A World of Difference

Institute anti-bias and anti-bullying training

programs since 1993. She is also a facilitator

for ADL’s Words to Action Programs

throughout New York State and offers programs

in public schools and on college campuses

that assist students to deal with antisemitism.

$28,586.12 Hunger Is Grant from Shaw’s

Foundation for its Childhood Breakfast Program

Hunger Free Vermont is excited to receive

a $28,586.12 grant from Shaw’s Foundation

from their Hunger Is initiative to eradicate

childhood hunger. The funds power Hunger

Free Vermont’s work to help schools and

communities throughout Vermont feed more

kids a nutritious breakfast. They accomplish

this by helping schools and communities

understand and make the best use of the federal

nutrition programs that provide opportunities

for low income kids and food insecure

families to gain access to healthy breakfasts

in schools and summer meals programs.

The funding will also help Hunger Free

Vermont to develop and grow breakfast programs

that incorporate proven best practices,

high quality nutrition, and as much fresh,

locally produced food as possible.

“We feel so fortunate to have Shaw’s

Foundation continue its support of the work

we do to ensure that Vermont children have

access to eat a healthy breakfast so they feel

good, and can make the most of their academic

day,” said Anore Horton, Executive

Director of Hunger Free Vermont. “We know

that Shaw’s Foundation sets a high standard

for its Hunger Is grant recipients because the

grants go only to organizations that have the

greatest impact on fighting childhood hunger.

We’re immensely proud to be part of that

recipient group and thank Shaw’s and their

customers for helping us continue to make a

difference in the lives of Vermont children.”

Hunger Free Vermont’s mission is to end

the injustice of hunger and malnutrition for

all Vermonters. We believe that everyone, at

every age, has the right to food to sustain an

active and healthy life. For more than 25

years our experienced and passionate staff

have developed and deployed carefully integrated

strategic initiatives designed to provide

low income Vermonters with the most

consistent and readily available opportunities

to eat the healthy food they require to

thrive every day of the year. We accomplish

this by helping community organizations,

schools, and childcare providers understand

and make the most effective use of the federal

nutrition programs that feed children

through childcare, school, after-school, and

summer meal programs; and families and

adults through 3SquaresVT.

VTHM is seeking children and grandchildren

of Holocaust survivors—“2G” and “3G”

as they are called—to share their families’

stories of survival after World War II with

schools and communities. The Memorial is

also in search of sponsors and grants to

enable them to plan more educator events.

Workshop registration is available now at

event page. The fee is $50 per person and

will include lunch.

state’s primary source of education and advocacy

about the critical importance of good

nutrition in developing and maintaining a

healthy and active life, and the necessity of

tackling infrastructure barriers at the local,

state, regional, and national level that prevent

Vermonters from accessing enough

healthy food. Our goal is to ensure that access

to nutritious, affordable food is built into the

fabric of all communities. We work to accomplish

this by bringing together community

engagement groups called Hunger Councils

to address issues in their own region and by

acting as a thought leader and convener

across a wide range of local, state, regional,

and national agencies and organizations who

work together to enable all Vermonters to

thrive. We also work with Vermont’s legislature

and state agencies to advance initiatives

that improve access to programs that help lift

Vermonters out of poverty and enhance

human dignity.

Hunger Is, a charitable program of Shaw’s

Foundation, is designed to build awareness

and raise funds in an effort to eradicate childhood

hunger in America. Funds raised

through Hunger Is focus on adding breakfasts

in and out of school through federal nutrition

programs and other means to combat childhood

hunger and improving other healthrelated

outcomes. Each Shaw’s location

selects a local organization or food bank to

receive the donations. Funds for our

$28,586.12 grant were collected by all 19

Shaw’s stores throughout Vermont.

“Hunger Free Vermont is doing incredible

things to ensure that children receive the

nutrition that they need to live healthy and

happy lives,” said Michelle Larson, President

of Shaw’s and Star Market. “We are proud to

help support their mission and partner with

them in the fight against food insecurity in

our local communities.”

VT Family and Medical Leave Insurance (FaMLI)

Coalition Call Upon the Legislature to Pass a Universal,

Equitable, and Affordable Paid Family and Medical

Leave Insurance Program

Members of the FaMLI Coalition called

upon the legislature to take the time to pass

an equitable paid leave policy in 2020 that

includes guaranteed personal medical leave

to Vermonters, an equitable bonding provision

available to both parents and ensures

that it is publicly administered to keep the

program viable and sustainable. With the

reinstatement of these critical provisions

that are essential to Vermont’s working families,

the VT FaMLI Coalition would be

proud to support H.107.

Randy George, owner of Red Hen Bakery,

which employs 40 Vermonters, spoke in support

of guaranteeing personal medical leave

to all Vermonters. “We have an employee

who is receiving treatment for colon cancer.

He is working as much as possible during his

treatment because any days that he misses,

he only gets 60 percent of his wages under

the plan we offer. Of course, if he were working

for many small businesses, he would have

no wage replacement at all. If he could

receive 90 percent wage replacement, he

would not feel such pressure to be working

and would be able to focus more on his

health. This would be a better outcome for

him, but also for our business, the health

Healing Lyme Beyond Antibiotics by Isabella S. Oehry

Lyme disease is now the most common

tick-borne disease in the United States:

according to the CDC, each year in the US

there are an estimated 300,000 cases of Lyme

disease. Unfortunately, Vermont is a prime

hub for the disease.

As researchers work to find ways to combat

Borrelia burgdorferi and other bacteria

known to cause Lyme disease, practitioners

of allopathic medicine currently have few

options beyond antibiotics to offer patients.

After becoming very ill with Lyme disease,

unsuccessful treatments with antibiotics

left Isa extremely weak, exhausted, unable

to think clearly, or function normally. A

chance remark by her niece about a natural

remedy inspired Isa to investigate alternative

healing methods. After an extensive search

she found the treatment she needed and

recovered fully.

Healing Lyme Beyond Antibiotics tells the

story of Isa’s successful recovery, but is more

State Adopts 5-Year Plan to Reduce Amount

and Toxicity of Vermont’s Waste

The State’s Department of Environmental

Conservation (DEC) is encouraging

Vermonters to start the new decade with a

commitment to trim “waste-lines.”

Currently, the average Vermonter disposes

over 1,300 pounds of trash per year. Over the

next 5-years, the State and municipalities

will help Vermonters bring the amount down

to about 1,000 pounds each year. Small steps

can make a difference in reaching this goal –

like composting food scraps.

With the adoption of the 2019 Vermont

Materials Management Plan, the State is

renewing its “waste-line” pledge to reduce

overall waste generation by 10% by 2024. In

2018, Vermonters generated 673,403 tons of

waste. The State aims to trim that number to

606,063 tons. The Plan’s 5-year framework

outlines actions the State, solid waste districts

and towns, and citizens can take to

prevent waste from being generated. It also

expands reuse, recycling, and composting

efforts to attain Vermont’s statewide goals.

“This Plan combines ambitious goals with

practical tactics to reduce trash generation,”

says Cathy Jamieson, Manager for DEC’s

Solid Waste Program. “With recent upheaval

in recycling markets, it is more important

than ever for Vermonters to find ways to cut

back on the amount of trash we produce.

Our long-term goal is to consume fewer

resources, waste less, and reuse more. This

replacement,” said Morgan Nichols,

Executive Director of Main Street Alliance of

Vermont. “The experimental structure of

H.107 has never been successfully executed

in any other state and will perpetuate gender

inequity, leave thousands of Vermonters

behind, and put the affordability and the

viability of the entire program at risk.”

By not guaranteeing personal medical

leave to Vermonters, failing to offer equitable

bonding/caregiving to both parents and by

privatizing the program, H.107 will leave

thousands of Vermonters behind, perpetuate

gender inequity and put the affordability and

the viability of the entire program at risk.

The VT Family and Medical Leave

Insurance (FaMLI) Coalition represents a

broad constituency of businesses, family

advocates, low-income advocates, and the

interfaith community who are committed to

advancing a strong, equitable paid family

and medical leave insurance program for all

Vermonters.

The new Plan details how the State and

municipalities, including Solid Waste

Districts and Alliances, will reduce the

amount and toxicity of Vermont’s waste.

Solid Waste Districts and Alliances help their

communities reduce waste and provide

information about trash, recycling, composting,

and hazardous waste, including

hauling services, drop-off centers, and fees.

The State will partner with Districts and

towns to provide outreach and education to

businesses and schools, public media campaigns,

recycling and compost market development,

and continue statewide collection

of household hazardous waste.

“When we reduce the amount of waste we

have to manage, we save resources and

reduce our dependence on landfills. Less

waste also means fewer greenhouse gas

emissions,” says Cassandra Hemenway,

Outreach Manager at Central Vermont Solid

Waste Management District. “Small changes

to your habits can have big results – for example,

bring reusable bags and mugs every time

you shop and eat all your leftovers. Make

‘reduce, reuse, recycle’ your 2020 mantra.”

New Year’s Resolution: Protecting

Access to Public Records

By Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos

The start of the new year provides an opportunity to

reflect and set out our intentions for the months ahead. This

year, I am asking all Legislators to join me in committing to

protect and expand access for Vermonters who are seeking

access to public records.

The bottom line is: open government is good government!

Vermonters shouldn’t have to pay for access to inspect

public records their government creates in the course of

agency business. Navigating who to ask, and how to request

public records is enough of a hurdle for most Vermonters.

They shouldn’t also be charged an arm and a leg to inspect

those records.

Remember, public records access isn’t merely a courtesy

that Vermont government extends to the public. These

records actually belong to the public. Government agencies

and staff are merely the custodians in possession of them.

Generous access to public records is rooted in the Vermont

Constitution, and the Vermont statutes:

“It is the policy of this subchapter to provide for free and

open examination of records consistent with Chapter I,

Article 6 of the Vermont Constitution. Officers of government

are trustees and servants of the people and it is in the

public interest to enable any person to review and criticize

their decisions even though such examination may cause

inconvenience or embarrassment. …” (1 V.S.A. § 315(a)).

Recent discussions around public records access in

Vermont has me concerned, and with the start of the legislative

session right around the corner, there is no doubt this

issue may be brought before the Legislature.

I want to widen our focus and remind us that access to

public records lies at the very core of government transparency

and accountability.

Government should not be shutting Vermonters out, and

operating behind closed doors – instead the doors should be

opened, letting the sunshine in.

With trust in government at an all time low, I truly believe

that sunshine is the best disinfectant.

The legal apparatus that ensure records access, the Public

Records Act, makes clear that government agencies may not

charge the public for access to inspect, and that the identity

or motive of the requestor cannot be a factor when deciding

on whether to grant access.

The Vermont Supreme Court (2019) decision in Doyle v.

Burlington Police Department states clearly that the law

does not allow charging for inspection of documents.

Additionally, the law says when charges are applicable,

government can only charge for the actual cost incurred.

This is critical to a functioning government, allowing the

public to audit, criticize, and ultimately develop trust.

I know it isn’t easy. Redacting information that shouldn’t

be broadly released, like personal medical information, or

personal identification information from a record, can be

onerous and take up staff time and resources.

To be frank, at times it can be a burden. As a government

by and for the people, that is our burden to shoulder.

I hope that if our Legislature considers proposals to

change Vermont’s public records laws, they will join me in

looking forward to strengthening the law, and not seek to

move us backwards.

We should expand access by consolidating or clarifying

the many exemptions spread across statute, and by creating

a public records ombudsperson to support and enable the

law to work effectively not only for the public, but also for

the agencies wishing to follow the law and comply.

We should not be creating new lockboxes or throwing up

curtains to further obscure the public’s much-needed windows

into the inner workings of state government.

I hope our Legislators will join me in making it our shared

New Year’s Resolution to protect and expand access to public

records in 2020. Let’s start the decade off with an open

book and clear vision looking forward.

Happy New Year!

On the last Sunday of each month, Beth Jacob Synagogue

sponsors a community dinner for everyone, especially for

food insecure individuals. This holiday season, dinner volunteers

thought it would be a treat to serve pizza. Once

again, Montpelier’s business community came through.

Many thanks to Dominos, Positive Pie, and Sarducci’s for

2020 Letter of Appreciation from the

Vermont Veterans’ Home

We at the Vermont Veterans’ Home want to thank our fellow

citizens from Bennington and all of Vermont for their

steadfast support of our Veterans and our Home during the

past year, and your incredible kindness during the Holiday

Season!

In front of the Home is a banner exclaiming, “Where

Heroes Live”, this banner speaks the truth, not hyperbole.

Veterans live here from all branches of service and major

conflicts back to WWII. From WWII alone, we have an Iwo

Where They Come From

By G. E. Shuman

I’ve often been asked where the ideas

for my newspaper columns come

from. Admittedly, I’m asked this question

by my ninety-five-year-old mother

more than by anyone

else. Her children, like mine, and like

yours, are all brilliant, so I don’t really have

to comment when she says something like:

“I don’t know how you do it.” I usually just

look down, grind the toe of my shoe into

the ground, and say “Aw, gee… shucks,

Mom.” Not really.

In any case, I decided that in this first

column written in this brand new year I’d

tell you how I do it, and where the columns

come from, at least to the point that I have

an answer to that question… that you didn’t

ask in the first place. (See, two short paragraphs

in place already, and I didn’t even

start yet. This stuff is easy.)

Truthfully, and mostly seriously, I’m not

sure where all the columns come from. It’s been over twenty-five

years now of writing one of these for the paper every

other week, and I guess the well hasn’t dried up yet. In fact,

my wife once called me an “endless pit”, but I’m not sure that

was meant as a compliment. I would like to think that some

talent or at least ability has something to do with getting my

thoughts on paper and IN the paper, but I’ve never been

sure of that, (unless I’m talking to my mother.) What I am

sure of is that the theme of a column, the ‘germ of an idea’

is rarely my own. Most commonly I write a piece because of

something I have heard or read that someone else has said or

written. What I do here is to simply relate that idea to you,

because you’re my friend, and you always listen to me. Right?

The number of people, families, groups, and organizations

who visited in November and December to; donate, entertain,

or simply celebrate with our Veterans was astonishing.

Once again, our residents participated in a sponsored gift

program where they receive a Christmas gift, and selected

gifts to send to their families. Handwritten cards arrived by

the box-load and adorn the doors and rooms of our Veterans.

Christmas Parties were sponsored, and musicians arrived to

provide holiday cheer to both residents and staff. Some just

came to volunteer and share a story.

Wreaths Across America had almost 400 in attendance to

Remember, Honor, and Teach about those who have gone

before us. Participants at the event ranged in age from 6 to

96, some traveled from as far as St. Albans Vermont.

At the Vermont Veteran’s Home, we have an amazing staff.

We are of course a 24-hour facility, 7 days a week to include

the most valued of holidays. If you visited us, you assuredly

observed an upbeat, motivated, and caring staff; the emphasis

here is on caring. Because of them, the Veterans’ Home

truly feels like a community. To our staff at the Home, we

appreciate all you do!

We begin a new year with a heartfelt thank you to everyone

who helps fulfill the promise to our Veterans.

Melissa Jackson CEO & Col Al Faxon Deputy/COO

Hello?

It is true that I often base my writing on some quote or

idea from the mind of someone else, and recently electronics

has helped me handle those quotes and ideas. I used to

scurry, (although it was always a very

slow scurry,) for a pencil and paper if I

heard something that I thought was a bit

profound and relatable. Now I just reach

for my phone and make a note on that.

Ain’t technology grand? (If you sensed a

bit of sarcasm in that last short sentence,

your senses are good.)

Here are a few recent paraphrased

thoughts that I will likely use in the future.

I don’t know exactly where either

of them came from, but at the time I

heard them I must have thought they

were worth making notes of, because

they’re on my phone. One thought is

this: “Impossible is just an opinion.” I

love that idea and believe that ANYONE

could write a thousand words or so about those five words.

Another stolen idea that somehow made it into my notes is:

“A change is as good as a rest.” I think that was from a movie

or TV show, but I’m not sure. I AM sure it will soon find its

way into the paper.

I wanted to do this particular column because, as we begin

2020, I hope we will take this new ride around the sun a

bit more seriously than we might have taken the last one. I

hope we appreciate what we have and WHO we have, and let

our lives be a bit more enriched by those things, but mostly

by those people. Listening to the ideas and experience-born

statements of others has always helped me write and has

more so helped me live.

TCI Is Not A Climate Solution

By Paul Fleckenstein

In a recent op-ed in VTDigger, Vermont AFL-CIO

President David Van Deusen argued against climate policies

that hurt workers. Case in point is the proposed

Transportation Climate Initiative (TCI) supported by

Vermont Climate Solutions Caucus. TCI is a carbon cap and

trade system that depends on a regressive fuel tax that will be

passed down to workers at the pump.

Conservative columnist John McClaughry argued in

another article that the TCI would actually do little to reduce

emissions. In opposing the TCI, McClaughry also illustrates

how easy it is for conservatives (who defend inequality and

injustice) to mobilize workers against climate policies that

target working class consumption.

To maintain its credibility with unions and working class

people, the climate justice movement should oppose the TCI.

There is now adequate experience with carbon markets to

conclude that they won’t work to address the climate emergency.

Trade Unions for Energy Democracy has completed a

comprehensive study demonstrating and explaining the failure

of cap and trade schemes. Crucially, this report also

explains how carbon markets don’t operate in the interests of

workers.

The schemes are shaped by pro-market ideology and business

priorities. They rely on carbon pricing and emissions

caps determined by bureaucracies charged with protecting

the profits and the competitive strength of the participating

corporations. This limits emissions reductions, and doesn’t

prioritize workers.

At best, carbon markets are designed for incremental

changes over long periods of time that we do not have—

completely the wrong tool for a climate emergency. Plus,

carbon is only one of the environmental threats the planet

faces. We urgently need to address biodiversity loss and

extinction, as well as plastics and chemical pollution. We

need comprehensive responses. Carbon markets are

designed to be narrow.

For a climate policy designed to minimally disrupt the

status quo, the TCI will maximize conflict over regressive

taxation and impacts on working class living standards. The

conflict is justified but unnecessary. It is an argument about

how to arrange the deck chairs on the Titanic as far as emissions

are concerned.

This situation will not generate the working class support

we need to win significant climate initiatives, but actually

hinders it. Cap and trade systems are not inadequate steps in

the right direction, but counterproductive measures that

waste valuable time.

Science is clear that market gradualism will not avoid

planetary catastrophe. Income redistribution and massive

public, democratic spending and regulation are the only

ways to quickly transition to a just and sustainable future.

Fortunately, there is legislation in the Vermont Legislature

that takes a step in the right direction. Senator Pollina’s

(P/D) Green New Deal bill is a proposal that does two

widely popular things and does them immediately: taxes the

wealthy, and funds programs to both reduce greenhouse gas

emissions and improve working class living standards.

This is a choice to follow Bernie and AOC and their New

Green Deal approach that leads with supporting workers,

justice, and wealth redistribution. This is the only way to win

working class support and to succeed with effective and

radical climate policies.

Policy Director, Center for Rural Affairs

The Pew Research Center finds that only 63 percent of

rural Americans have a broadband internet connection at

home, and 24 percent of rural adults consider access to high

speed internet a major problem in their community.

Recent policy developments are designed to address this.

But, will they be enough?

In July, the Federal Communications Commission established

the Digital Opportunity Data Collection program.

This program will collect broadband access data at the

address level, and use those results to direct funding meant

to fill “gaps” in coverage. This is a big improvement over the

current Census block approach, which causes dramatic overstatements

of coverage.

While the commission has agreed to collect better data,

• • •

Accurate Data Essential to Improving Broadband Access In Rural Areas

they are leaving it up to the states to make sure that data is

accurate. This is where you come in.

The most cost effective way to verify broadband access

data is through crowdsourcing. Crowdsourcing allows citizens

to run their own internet speed tests, measure provider

performance, and file formal complaints. But, right now,

there are dozens of speed tests available, and no clear way to

measure and report performance.

This problem is easy to solve. Each state should develop a

data improvement program that helps citizens participate in

the verification process. This simple, low-cost solution can

pay big dividends in rural homes and businesses.

Many states already feature robust programs. Others must

get started. As legislative sessions begin around the country,

we encourage lawmakers to take seriously their role in

improving broadband in rural areas.

Uncut Gems

★★★1/2

They say money is the root of all evil. Of course that

isn’t true, though.

Before money was invented, I am pretty confident

that there were people coveting their neighbor’s spouses and

thieves stealing farm animals and grain supplies.

Money isn’t the root of all evil, but it is certainly the root of

a lot of evil. “Uncut Gems” shows us some of the ways.

Adam Sandler plays New York jeweler Howard Ratner:

one stressed-out guy.

The action begins in May, 2012. Howard owes $100,000 to

a loan shark and the goons are on his trail.

But Howard is set up for the big score of his career. He

smuggled a rare, beautiful rock full of Black Opals from Ethiopia

and he is going to sell it at auction for a million dollars.

Things get complicated when one of his celebrity customers

– Celtics center Kevin Garnett – borrows the precious

rock and uses it as a good luck charm during the NBA playoffs.

And that’s how Howard’s downfall begins. Howard is

hopelessly addicted to sports gambling. The inside information

he has about KG and his magic stone has captivated his

sick, addicted mind.

So we the audience are stuck in a waking nightmare,

watching Howard hustle and lie and blow up at people. He

ignores his responsibilities and his debts because he is focused

on the Sixers/Celtics Conference Semi-finals.

Adam Sandler’s performance is intense and Oscar-worthy.

The finest moment is when he is alone in the back of a car

after winning a parlay bet on Game 3. Suddenly, all his problems

wash away. Howard is in ecstasy. The only pure joy in

his life is winning a big sports bet. It’s a terrible, terrible addiction.

• • •

• • •

The subtle tragedy of Sandler’s performance is that we see

the good in him even as he does incredibly stupid things. At

times you can catch glimpses of how he could have been a

hard-working family man. But money has twisted his mind

and turned him into a miserable monster.

The pressure to look like a winner has left Howard perpetually

indebted. His career dealing precious jewels has

enveloped him in a web of danger and violence. And the

movie shows that high stakes sports betting is a get rich quick

scheme that always fails.

Writers/directors Josh and Bennie Safdie show how much

better Howard’s life would be without the betting and the

luxury and the jewels and the greed. All of our lives would be

better without it.

I’m not sure I actually recommend that you watch “Uncut

Gems.” It is too heart-poundingly suspenseful to be enjoyable.

But it is a well-crafted character study with a perfect

ending.

Most of all, the film offers an important lesson. The next

time you see a cool, rich-looking, high roller-type, remember

that he is not somebody to envy or admire. He is a victim of

our money-obsessed culture and probably has more problems

than you do.

About Bread and Puppet

Theater

The Bread and Puppet

Theater is a politically active

puppet theater, founded by

Peter Schumann in New York

City in 1963 and based in

Glover, Vermont since 1974.

The name Bread and

Puppet is derived from the

theater’s practice of sharing

its sourdough rye with the

audience, and from its central

principle that art is as basic as

bread. The Bread and Puppet

Theater participates locally in

parades and is active at many

statehouse marches in Montpelier.

Peter Schumann, Bread and Puppet’s director, was born in

1934 in Silesia. Schumann was a sculptor and dancer in

Germany before moving to the United States in 1961. In

1963 he founded Bread and Puppet Theater and in 1970

moved to Vermont, eventually settling in the Northeast

Kingdom in Glover where the company still performs outdoor

circuses and pageants all summer long. For more information

visit Bread and Puppet Theater at: https://breadandpuppet.org.

Reception: February 7th, 4:00 – 8:00pm - In Conjunction

with Art Walk 5:00pm - Bread and Puppet Performance:

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) The

New Year brings challenges that

can change many things in your

life. You need to be prepared not

only to confront them, but also to

deal with what happens afterward.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You have what it takes to

set your goals quite a bit higher this year. Learn what you

need to know and put what you learn into your efforts. A

partner offers loving support.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) In true Gemini Twin fashion,

you’re conflicted about a decision you know you’ll

have to make in this New Year. Best advice: Get the facts

before you make any commitment.

CANCER ( June 21 to July 22) A friend offers you an exciting

opportunity for this New Year. Although your positive

aspects are strong in most respects, caution is advised. Investigate

before you invest.

LEO ( July 23 to August 22) You can make this New Year a

roaring success. Start by readjusting your goals to reflect

the changes in the economy. Your den mate offers both

wise and loving support.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) The New Year brings

new opportunities for change. But you need to be ready to

move from the comfortable status quo to the challenging

unknown. It’s up to you.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Your most important

New Year’s resolution should be to work out problems

with a family member in order to avoid continuing

misunderstandings. Do it soon, for both of your sakes.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) The New Year

has much to offer the intensely determined Scorpian, who

isn’t afraid to take on challenges and stay with them until

they surrender their rewards.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You’ll

have many fine opportunities in this New Year. But be

warned: Reject offers of “help.” You work best when

you’re free to be your own creative self.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The New

Year offers changes that you might feel you’re not quite

ready for. Best advice: Deal with them one step at a time,

until you’ve built up your self-confidence.

AQUARIUS ( January 20 to February 18) Travel is a dominant

aspect of the New Year. This could mean relocating

to another city (or even another country) in connection

with your education or your career.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) This New Year brings

news about a change you’ve been anticipating. You might

have a problem persuading a loved one about your new

plans, but he or she will soon go along with them.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a gift for making people

feel safe and protected. You would make an excellent

youth counselor.

A SPECIAL SUPPLEMENT TO THE WORLD

Your

Health

Motivation for Better Health

If you have been feeling down lately, the

key to getting out of the slump may be

health related. According to the Harvard

Medical School, one in 10 adults in the

United States struggle with depression.

Research shows that exercise is an effective

way to treat the condition and can even work

as well or better than antidepressants.

Common symptoms of depression include reduced

energy, appetite changes and increased pain perception.

So, how do you find the motivation to get into

a new routine and change your mental mindset?

Experts at Harvard suggest starting slowly to get your

body used to being active before increasing your level

of physical activity.

Here is some motivation to get started and keep the

momentum going, there is a happier version of you

waiting to get active.

HOW DOES EXERCISE IMPROVE MOODS?

Physical activity is an important contributor to

positive mental health. The JED Foundation, an emotional

health nonprofit for teens and young adults,

offers these benefits of becoming active.

• Improves mood and mental health by releasing

endorphins through your body to reduce anxiety and

depressed moods while enhancing self-esteem.

• Boosts energy and brainpower by delivering oxygen

and nutrients to the brain and various tissues.

• Prevents illnesses like high blood pressure, strokes

and heart disease.

• Improves your quality of sleep and helps you fall

asleep faster.

CLEAN DIET

Along with an active lifestyle, taking your diet seriously

can provide you with a more positive mindset.

Experts at the International Society for Nutritional

Psychiatry Research have found that a healthy diet

protects us from risk factors associated with depression

and anxiety.

By loading up with healthy nutrients, vitamins can

become the protein-building blocks and neurotransmitters

that transfer information and signals between

various parts of the brain and body.

Gut health is another area that is growing in finding

a relationship between food and moods. Increase

the number of probiotics in your diet to maintain a

healthy gut environment and decrease inflammation

in the body, which ultimately affects our cognition.

Foods rich with probiotics include sauerkraut, olives,

pickles and coconut.

YOUR HEALTH | MENTAL HEALTH

Think Positive

When things aren’t

going your way, it’s

easy to shut yourself

off from the world and

assume everything will

get worse. Practicing

positive thinking can

remove the invisible

rain cloud and let in

the sunshine.

An encouraging report

from John Hopkins Medicine

says that people with a family

history of heart disease who

also had a positive outlook

were one-third less likely to

have a heart attack within five

to 25 years than those with a

negative outlook.

If you feel like your

attempts at overcoming

depression or anxiety are falling

short, it’s crucial to visit a

doctor. They can determine

the complexity of the issue

and strategize a solution or

refer you to an expert who

excels in mental health. Here

are some ways a positive outlook

can improve your life.

IMPROVED

RELATIONSHIPS

Once you begin working on

changing your perspective to

include positive thinking, you

should analyze the types of

people you associate with. Of

course, your improved attitude

will attract those with a

similar mindset and help you

flourish with new relationships.

So, how do you manage

friendships with those who

may challenge your happier

lifestyle?

While it may be tough to

completely cut people out of

your life, you can try to influence

their attitude by showing

them compassion and

explaining the difference you

feel through positive thinking.

REWARDING YOURSELF

When you begin improving

the way your mind works, be

sure to congratulate yourself

with small rewards. Take

account of negative situations

and how positive thinking

changes the outcome you

may have created previously.

Little treats like a cheat meal

while dieting or buying yourself

satisfying items from your

rainy day fund are great ways

to keep positive thinking at

the forefront of your mind.

© ADOBE STOCK

WORK PERFORMANCE

Another benefit you will

experience by changing your

perspective is a heightened

performance at work. When

your mind is clear from negative

thoughts, you are free to

problem solve and brainstorm

without distractions.

Transform your core.

How biking to work can benefit your overall health

Commuting is a fact of life for millions of professionals. The U.S. Census Bureau

reports that the average person in the United States spends 26.1 minutes

getting to work, while Statistics Canada notes the average Canadian spends

26.2 minutes getting to the office.

Few people enjoy commuting. In fact, a 2004 study

published in the journal Science found that female commuters

cited commuting as their least satisfying daily

activity, ranking it below housework. Perhaps that’s

because commuting, whether commuters recognize it or

not, tends to have adverse effects on their overall health.

A 2012 study published in the Journal of Urban Health

found that longer commutes are associated with behavioral

patterns that may contribute to obesity and other

negative health conditions.

Commuters who live close to work can counter some

of the negative effects of commuting by cycling to work.

Cycling is a healthy activity that the Harvard Medical

School notes can help people build muscle and increase

bone density, which naturally decreases with age. And

there are additional benefits to cycling to work that might

compel some commuters to pedal their way to the office.

• Biking can help you meet minimum exercise guidelines.

The latest Physical Activity Guidelines from the

U.S. Department of Health and Human Services recommend

that adults get at least 150 minutes per week of

moderate-intensity aerobic activity or 75 minutes of

vigorous aerobic activity each week. Biking to work can

help people meet and exceed those weekly guidelines,

providing a strong foundation for a long, healthy life.

• Biking to work can lower your risk of chronic disease.

Regular physical activity like cycling can lower your risk

of chronic diseases like cardiovascular disease, type 2

diabetes and certain cancers. Adults who can’t find the

time to exercise outside of work may find that exercising

during their commutes by biking to work is their

best and most effective means to lowering their risk for

chronic disease.

• Biking to work can improve cognition. The American

Heart Association notes that regular physical activity like

cycling has been linked to improved cognition, which

can positively affect memory, attention and processing

speed.

• Biking to work may help reduce stress. A 2017 study

from researchers at Montreal’s Concordia University

attempted to investigate the impact of various commuting

modes on workers’ stress levels upon arrival to their

workplace. The study found that such levels were lower

among cyclists than they were among people who drove

or took public transportation to the office.

Biking to work may not help people reduce their

commute times, but it might make those commutes less

taxing on their overall health.

NATURAL HEALTH CORNER | JOSHUA SINGER

WHAT ARE YOU

CHANGING AND

ARE YOU STILL ON

COURSE?

What does it take to

change a pattern that

we’ve set up in our

daily lives? I mean to stop

snacking on the sweets during the day, to

actually cook vegetables with dinner, to take

the time for a walk after lunch, to be more

patient with our co-workers or our children,

to quit smoking, or to be more ambitious

with our goals. This time of year comes and

we may admit to ourselves that it’s time to

make that change. I’ve recently heard the

question around these New Year’s resolutions,

“What are you willing to suffer for?”

ARE YOU SET ON CRUISE CONTROL?

I think many of us sort of get set on cruise

control through our week or life. We’re just

trying to keep on time or not get in trouble

or make enough money. We’ve fallen into

the patterns we find ourselves in because

of ease, comfort, fear, or what seems like

survival. This is what I observe, though

you may have other thoughts around this.

Because I’m a health care provider, I see

people wanting to change how they treat

their bodies specifically at this time of year.

Changing a pattern may mean suffering

through the discomfort or fear or inner

angst. Being disciplined and staying motivated

to continue to head in the direction

that you want to is not easy or comfortable.

When our children say that something isn’t

fair, we often respond with, “Who said life

is fair?” It doesn’t feel fair to have to deprive

ourselves of the sweets or cigarettes or to

have to push ourselves to get up a little

earlier for some exercise.

DO YOU FEEL PASSION,

EXCITEMENT, JOY?

My hope for you is to find the passion

in what you are committing to change or

achieve. Get truly excited about what you

want to accomplish. Is it for your body’s

sake or for your family, your community,

humanity at large? Your excitement should

make you want to share your goal with

everyone. You may find two parts of you involved

in this change: one with the passion,

excitement, motivation, and discipline,

and the other part telling you this isn’t fair.

You’ll have a choice of which part you want

to focus your attention on. And as we also

tell our children, “If you fall down, get right

back up.”

I also hope that you can find enjoyment

in what you’ll be doing differently. I don’t

enjoy running, but I love to play tennis in

the summer and downhill ski in the winter.

I greatly look forward to meeting my friend

to hit the ball around or to looking out

from the ski mountain. I think many would

understand that enjoyment of managing

firewood through the seasons. I can tell

how my body truly enlivens when doing

these activities. I’m always interested to

hear when people share when they feel that

physical enlivening I’m talking about. It can

be the same when eating healthy meals. Pay

close attention to the joy of tasting the food

and also how it makes your body feel. Listen

to your music when cooking the vegetables.

If you’re committed to stopping a habit

that is only hurting you, replacing those

difficult moments of refrain when making

this change with a bit of enjoyment can help

bolster your will power. Those first couple

weeks of quitting smoking can be some of

the most difficult weeks of one’s life. A little

bit of joy can ease that suffering a degree

or two. If you’re committing to making a

change for the better, make sure to be smart

about these choices for yourself.

A GOOD TIME FOR RESOLUTIONS

It’s a custom that many think is cliché,

but I think now’s a great time to really look

at where your passion is and see if you’re

doing it most days or heading toward it. As

we each have our life, we might as well give

our time and energy to what we truly feel is

important, do the things that we truly enjoy.

We have the choice to make the changes

that we know are best for us and our loved

ones, even through some suffering.

If you’re inspired to share how it’s going

so far with your resolution, I’m interested

to hear.

Learn the ways to beat bad habits

The start of a new year can be a rejuvenating time when

people take inventory of their lives and make positive

changes. In a quest for personal growth, many people

resolve to reduce or eliminate bad habits.

Habits are one of the ways in which the

brain establishes patterns for neurons to follow.

Habits help people work on autopilot

some of the time, which can save time and

energy, according to Medium.com, an

information site educating the public on a

wide array of timely topics. Good habits,

like showing up to work on time, are worth

maintaining. But bad habits can be problematic

and potentially unhealthy.

Strategies to break bad habits might work

for some but not for others. Perseverance

is essential to kicking bad habits, and the

following are some additional tips that can

help people as they try to ditch certain

behaviors once and for all.

· Recognize the habit. No person is perfect,

and each of us has our strengths and weaknesses.

Recognizing a bad habit is the first

step toward breaking it.

· Break the pattern by offering a new one.

As noted, when a habit is established,

neurons form a pattern. Establishing a

new, better habit, rather than just trying

to quit the bad habit cold turkey, can be an

effective way to help the brain adjust to a

new pattern, advises neuroscientist Elliot

Berkman. He says the brain finds it easier

to do something new than to simply stop

doing something it’s accustomed to. So if

you’re a nail-biter, do something else with

your hands, like play a musical instrument,

to create a new pattern.

· Penalize yourself within reason. Making

a habit painful in one way or another may

make it easier to quit. Penalizing yourself

by paying a dollar each time you say a curse

word, or extending a workout for an extra

30 minutes for each one you miss are some

examples of simple punishments.

· Reward yourself for beating habits. Rewards

for kicking bad habits can be just as

effective as penalizing bad behavior. Reward

yourself with something unusual and meaningful

after you kick a bad habit.

· Learn your triggers and avoid them. The

self-improvement blog Pick the Brain

indicates that every bad habit has a cue

that can trigger it. Triggers fall into these

categories: location, time, emotional state,

other people, and an immediately preceding

action. By learning your triggers, you

can work to avoid them. If eating junk food

comes on the tails of a stressful commute,

try a different way home. If you smoke

when you’re around a particular person

who eggs you on, take a break from hanging

out with this person.

Breaking bad habits is challenging, but it

can happen with focus and dedication.

YOUR HEALTH | COMMIT TO CHANGE

Healthy Resolutions

This year, consider

your health and

commit to making

better decisions that

boost your wellness.

Finding a support group

who has the same mindset is

a great way to keep yourself

motivated throughout the

year. Keep reading to learn

more about these popular

New Year’s resolutions.

QUIT SMOKING

Committing to quitting

smoking now will reduce your

chances of getting cancer and

cardiovascular diseases. Don’t

be discouraged if you don’t

completely kick cigarettes on

your first try; it can be challenging

to rid your body of

nicotine addiction.

Here are some motivational

facts about how your body

reacts after your last cigarette,

according to the American

Cancer Society.

12 hours: Carbon monoxide

levels in your blood

return to normal.

2 weeks-3 months:

Circulation improves and

lung function increases.

1-9 months: Coughing and

shortness of breath decreases.

1 year: Excess risk of coronary

heart disease is half that

of someone who still smokes.

GET ACTIVE

Whether you decide to

invest in a gym membership

or commit to an at-home

workout, increasing your

activity is a way to improve

physical and mental health.

The Centers for Disease

Control and Prevention recommends

adults participate

in moderate-intensity activity

for three to five hours per

week. Being active helps fight

chronic diseases like cardiovascular

disease, diabetes

and numerous types of cancers.

EATING HEALTHY

Resolve to enjoy more

nutritious meals in order to

boost your mood and take

control of your health. When

shopping, try to buy most of

your foods around the perimeter

of a grocery store.

Typically, that’s where you’ll

find the freshest foods in the

© ADOBE STOCK

produce, meat, dairy and deli

departments. If you’re unsure

about building a new diet to

give you benefits, consider

sitting down with a nutritionist

who can create a strategy

based on your family history

and lifestyle.

Did you know?

New Year’s resolutions are made every January,

and many people use this tradition as a chance

to declare their intention to change jobs in the

year ahead. The reasons why people change

jobs vary, but the most popular reason to do so

might surprise you. According to a LinkedIn

survey of more than 10,000 people who recently

changed jobs, 45 percent of respondents

indicated they changed jobs due to a lack of

opportunities for advancement with their previous

employers. The next most popular reason

to switch jobs was dissatisfaction with the leadership

of senior management. Employers may

be surprised to learn that dissatisfaction with

compensation was relatively low on the list of

why people changed jobs, as just 34 percent of

respondents listed that among the top reasons

why they left their old jobs. While that may

encourage employers to find ways other than

pay increases to keep their employees happy,

it’s also important to note that the LinkedIn

survey found that money was the second most

popular reason job switchers, 74 percent of

whom received higher salaries at their new

jobs, chose their new positions.

The Summit School of Traditional Music and

Culture Presents the 10th Annual Winter Folk

Music Festival, ‘Spice on Snow’!

The Spice on Snow Winter

Music Festival is a four-day

celebration of roots and folk

music, January 23rd -26th

2020. The festival features

outstanding Cajun and Old-

Time musicians from

Louisiana and Southern

Appalachia, together with

premier touring folk musicians

and regional performers.

There are concerts,

dances, workshops, family

events, jam sessions and free

performances city-wide in

Montpelier, Vermont.

There will be forty musicians

performing thirty

events at fourteen venues

throughout downtown, with concerts, dances,

workshops, jam sessions, sing-alongs,

family programs, and a community dinner.

To celebrate our 10th anniversary, the festival

is bringing two acclaimed headliners, as

well as an all-star cast of local performers.

The Summit School is also holding a raffle

featuring a Gold Tone banjo signed by the

Macarthur Genius Award and Grammy winning

musician Rhiannon Giddens. Giddens is

the co-founder of the Grammy Awardwinning

string band Carolina Chocolate

Drops, in which she plays banjo and fiddle.

Giddens has performed for President Obama

and First Lady Michelle Obama, appeared on

The Late Show, Austin City Limits, Later…

with Jools Holland, and both CBS Saturday

and Sunday Morning, and dueted with country

superstar Eric Church on his powerful

anti-racism song “Kill a Word” (including

performing the song on The Tonight Show

and the CMA Awards, among other programs).

In 2017, Giddens was awarded a

Macarthur Genius Award and she has also

received the BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for

Singer of the Year and the Steve Martin Prize

for Excellence in Bluegrass and Banjo. The

Summit School is honored to have her support!

2020 Spice on Snow headliners include

Molsky Mountain Drifters (with Grammy-

Nominated fiddler Bruce Molsky), and The

Old Fashioned Aces (from Louisiana). In

2019, Amelia Briere of the Aces won best

female vocalist of the year at the Le Cajun

Awards in Louisiana. The accordionist, Blake

Miller, founded the popular young Cajun

band The Pine Leaf Boys and became a

member of the premiere Louisiana roots

Band The Red Stick Ramblers. He has also

served stints in just about every other cajun/

creole band of note including Balfa Toujours,

Les Malfecteurs and Cedric Watson & Bijou

Creole bringing his strong cultural identity

and accomplished musicianship to the world.

• • •

He now plays with the world traveled

Revelers, singing and playing his own songs

on fiddle and accordion.

Molsky’s Mountain Drifters features Bruce

Molsky, a Grammy-nominated artist on fiddle,

banjo, guitar and song. Molsky is also

Berklee College of Music’s Visiting Scholar in

the American Roots Program. He is joined by

Allison de Groot on banjo, who combines

wide ranging virtuosity and passion for oldtime

music, and Boston-based Stash

Wyslouch, who is one of bluegrass’s great

young genre-bending pioneers.

In addition to these incredible artists, the

festival will highlight performances by The

Moon Shells (Old-time from Western

Massachusetts), and Matt Downer (from

Tennessee). Other Vermont-based performers

include Young Tradition Youth

Commission Ensemble, Chaque Fois, Kick

em Jenny, Two Cents in the Till, Old Sky,

Last Train to Zinkov, Mark Legrand and

Turning Stile. Many of the festival events are

free or low cost, with a special focus on family

friendly events throughout the day on

Saturday.

This event is funded in part by a grant

award from Montpelier Alive, with funds

from the Montpelier Downtown

Improvement District. Spice on Snow festival

is also funded by many area businesses

and foundations, including Ben and Jerry’s

Foundation, and community members, who

are listed on our website. We are grateful for

the volunteers and donors who make this

festival possible each year!

The Summit School of Traditional Music

and Culture is a non-profit folk music school

located in Montpelier, Vermont. We host

ongoing classes, workshops, and concerts

year-round. Summit School’s main events

Kicking off the 2020 Farmers Night Concert series is The

Nisht Geferlach Klezmer Band at the Vermont State House

on Wednesday night, January 15th at 7:30pm for the first of

songs and tell stories from the golden age of New York’s

Yiddish Theater as well as freilachs, bulgars and other lively

instrumentals that reveal the Dixieland influence on Jewish

immigrant musicians. “Nisht Geferlach”, translated literally

from the Yiddish, means “not dangerous”. More colloquially,

it means “Relax, it won’t kill you”. Musicians include: Rick

Winston, Kathy Light, Steven Light, Will Lindner and Avram

Patt.

The Farmers Night Concert Series is a longstanding State

House tradition of over a century. Artists from around the

state, in genres ranging from classical music to bluegrass to

Networking strategies for

the digital age

Networking has long been a way for men and women

to expand their professional horizons. Networking

can keep professionals abreast of the latest goings-on

in their industries and provide both immediate and

ongtem enefits.

• • •

Like many things in the business world,

how people network has changed in the digital

age. Embracing that change and making

it work for you will likely involve changing

how you network.

• Embrace professional social media. Social

media may not have been around the last

time you looked for a job, but professional

social media sites such as LinkedIn are a

vital component of networking in the digital

age. If you haven’t done so already, establish

a LinkedIn profile so you can begin connecting

with other professionals in your

field.

• Personalize your connections. The days

of sharing a post-work drink with a colleague

may be over. But networking in the

digital age need not be impersonal. When

using professional networking sites such

as LinkedIn, personalize the messages you

send to other professionals when inviting

them to join your network. Use the message

to briefly introduce yourself and explain

your connection before explaining why you

want the person to become part of your network.

Welcome any questions and warmly

thank them for their time. This personal

touch can make you stand out in a digital

sea of people, many of whom simply want

to add other professionals to their network

without necessarily making genuine connections.

• Get out of the house. Digital age networking

is not limited to digital connections.

Meetup.com encourages like-minded men

and women to get together with real people

in real life, using the internet to facilitate

such connections. Men and women who

sign up can use Meetup.com to connect

with local professionals in their industries,

attend industry-specific events and even establish

their own meetup groups. A medium

such as Meetup.com is great for individuals

of all ages, but it might be especially valuable

to established professionals looking to

combine digital age networking with the

more traditional networking they’re accustomed

to.

• Be mindful of decorum. The internet is

a largely informal “place,” but professionals

should be mindful of decorum when

networking online. Resist the temptation to

use shorthand, slang or less formal language

when contacting other professionals, as

doing so can make you appear unprofessional.

In addition, avoid making potentially

controversial or contentious comments on

social media platforms like Facebook and

Twitter.

Networking in the digital age may intimidate

working professionals accustomed to

more traditional networking strategies. But

while the methods may be different, effective

digital age networking is not all that

different from the networking strategies of

yesteryear.

Scooter Toy

Children have always liked toys that can move and make

noise and look like something from the adult world. Victor

Bonnet was a French toymaker working after 1919 who

specialized in tin, and later steel, toy trucks, motorcycles,

carts, buggies, as well as clowns, birds, women doing

housework and musicians playing instruments. His toys

were often copied but can be dated by the mark, his company

name. The company started as F. Martin in 1878 and

changed its name three times until it was called Victor

Bonnet from 1919 to 1937, when the firm closed. A recent

auction sold an 8 1/2-inch tin boy-on-a-scooter toy. It was

key-wound so it could “scoot” or roll across the floor. It

was made in the 1920s and sold for $1,560.

***

Q: I have a large collection of lady head vases I want to

sell. How should I go about it?

A: Lady head vases are figural vases showing a pretty

woman from the shoulders up. Most were made in Japan

or the United States and were used by florists in the 1950s

and ‘60s. They were a popular collectible in the ‘70s and

‘80s, but interest has waned. Today, they sell from $25 or

less to over $100. Vases portraying Jacqueline Kennedy or

those with imitation jewelry or other accessories usually

sell for the highest prices. You can check prices online, but

expect to get half of what they are selling for. If you want

to sell the whole collection, you might be able to find

someone at a flea market or mall booth who will buy

them.

***

Q: I have some of my mother’s and grandmother’s copper

cooking pots that are either all copper or have copper bottoms.

I have been told if I want the darkened copper to be

shiny and copper-colored again, I can clean them with

ketchup. Is that a good idea?

A: Ketchup can be used as an emergency cleaner, but a

commercial metal polish probably will do a better, faster

job. There is some risk to using unlined copper pans. Bits

of the copper may leach into the heated food. “Long term

exposure” is listed as a danger to your health, but limited

use of unlined copper pans is OK. Lined pans, the tinlined

antiques and the newer copper clad steel pans sold

today, are safe. But it is not safe to store any food in

unlined copper containers.

Build a strong relationship with your pet’s vet

Routine well visits are an important

part of maintaining overall health for

adults and children. The same can

be said for ensuring family pets are

thriving as well.

Veterinarians should be consulted for more than just

illnesses. Their input is a key component of proper pet

care. Having a solid relationship with the vet is in the best

interests of the pet and its owner.

Open communication and familiarity with companion

animals helps to avoid health issues before they appear,

according to Dr. Krista Magnifico, DVM, and founder of

Pawbly.com. Wellness exams facilitate discussion when the

animal is not under duress and the general health of the pet

can be properly assessed. According to the pet resource

iHeartDogs.com, common components of well visits

include the vet asking questions about exercise frequency,

appetite, behavior, and any breed-specific issues. A vet will

examine the pet, check gait and movement, as well as look

at the eyes, ears and mouth. Routine vaccinations also are

typically discussed and administered.

Veterinary Practice News advises taking a new pet to the

vet a few days after he or she comes home, even if the pet’s

medical history has been documented extensively. This

establishes a clinical file and a relationship between pet and

vet and vet and pet owner.

The frequency of vet visits is often determined by the veterinarian,

breed and age of the animal, and the preferences

of the pet owners. The vets at The Ohio State University

College of Veterinary Medicine say that kittens or puppies

may need to come in once a month for preventative shots

until they reach 16 weeks of age. New pet parents also may

need more guidance on training and housebreaking and can

benefit from more frequent interactions with a vet early on.

After pets receive all of their initial immunizations, vets typically

see healthy pets annually for well visits. If the pet has

a specific condition, he or she may require more frequent

visits.

According to the pets division of WebMD, senior dogs, or

those around age 10, should get twice-yearly checkups, as

advised by most vets. Changes to hormones and major systems

of the body may occur rapidly in aging pets, and more

frequent visits can help discover illnesses, such as canine

diabetes. Vets also can be an educated sounding board for

facing an elder pet’s end-of-life issues.

Veterinarians play an essential role in maintaining the

health, happiness and comfort of pets. A great relationship

is established early on.

being petted, but only for a bit, then I enjoy

How empty-nesters can transform their homes

After bringing home a bubbly

baby boy or girl, it can be hard

for parents to imagine that a

day will come when their kids

are off to college and then onto their

own apartment or house. After spending

decades nurturing and caring for children,

parents are then left with a suddenly quiet

house and probably much more time to

spare. If saying goodbye to the kids also

means extra house, there’s the option to

downsize or make that extra space more

useful.

Homeowners who choose to stay put can renovate vacant

rooms into spaces that meet their newfound needs.

• Hobby haven: If you’ve always meant to set up a crafting

room, home-brewing station or an artist’s studio,

now is an ideal time to do just that. Figure out which

supplies you will need and begin reworking that former

bedroom into a new sanctuary for leisure interests.

• Guest suite: If you’ve never had a spare bedroom to

entertain guests, a child’s former bedroom can fit the

bill. It may not be that difficult to transform such spaces

into relaxing and inviting rooms for overnight guests. Be

sure there is at least a queen-sized bed and a dresser or

chest of drawers to stash belongings. Select paint colors

and linens in neutral tones so the room will be inviting

to guests.

• Living room redo: When there’s an entire soccer team

coming over to hang out, that large sectional sofa or

modular seating may be ideal. Now that the kids are

out of the house and their friends are no longer coming

over for movie night, living rooms can be made more

intimate with small-scale seating. A small sofa and two

comfortable chairs may be a more fitting option.

• At-home gym: Save on gym membership fees by building

a mini studio right at home. Choose one of the larger

bedrooms and then fill it with some fitness equipment,

such as an elliptical trainer, a bench press bench and

some free weights. Store rolled-up mats in the closet for

yoga or Pilates sessions.

• Expanded bathroom: If space has always been at a premium

in the bathroom, borrow area from an empty bedroom

and turn it into a spa. Install a soaking tub separate

from the shower, and fill the room with other amenities,

such as a warming lamp or even a small sauna.

• Home office: Working from home a few days a week

may be more plausible when nearing retirement, as

it will be a smoother transition from heading to the

office each day to spending more time at home. Turn a

bedroom or den into an office space with a new desk and

bookshelves.

An empty nest can be a bittersweet experience, but

parents can make such situations work for them by

transforming their homes to better reflect their current

needs.

How to make driving

in inclement weather

more safe

Impaired visibility can be a safety hazard while driving.

Everything from sun glare to hail can affect a driver’s ability

to see the road and navigate it effectively. Before drivers get

behind the wheel, they should make note of their local forecast

and make a plan for what to do if rain, snow or other

conditions make it challenging to drive.

Drivers can take several steps to improve their visibility

when driving in poor weather conditions.

• Inspect and change windshield wiper blades. Wipers

are instrumental in clearing precipitation away from the

windshield. If they’re not functioning properly, wipers

cannot do their jobs. Drivers should replace their wipers at

the first indication that they are no longer effective. In some

conditions, wipers can freeze or stick. Drivers should then

pull over and clean the wipers manually.

• Clear obstructions. Always make sure the windshield

is clear before driving. This can include removing ice and

snow in the winter and cleaning off mud or bug splatter in

the spring and summer. Use the front and rear defrost if condensation

fogs up windshields and windows.

• Slow down. Foul weather can reduce drivers’ ability to

see far into the distance. Drivers should always drive slower

in inclement weather in order to improve reaction time.

• Top off fluids. Always keep the windshield washer reservoir

full and keep extra fluid in the trunk. In addition, look

for a fluid that does not freeze in very cold temperatures.

• Learn how to drive in fog. Each year, more than 38,700

vehicle crashes occur in fog, states the Federal Highway

Administration. Travelers Insurance recommends slowing

down, staying focused and using regular headlights and not

high beams when driving in fog.

• Go out only if necessary. In snowy or icy conditions,

drive only if it’s absolutely necessary, as snow and ice can

impair visibility and make roads slick, says AAA.

• Avoid driving at dusk and dawn. The human eye can

have trouble adjusting to rapidly changing light and darkness

conditions, which are common at dusk and dawn. If

possible, drivers should make trips during the heart of the

day, especially if poor lighting conditions typically make it

difficult for them to drive.

Drivers can take steps to improve visibility when inclement

weather makes roadways hard to navigate.

3 potential indicators of engine trouble

Many drivers have found themselves stranded on the

side of the road at one point or another. Whether the

cuit is engine toue t tie o nothe issue

fi ning onesef stne on the sie of the o in

need of assistance is an often helpless feeling that no one wants to

experience twice.

Even drivers whose automotive clubs

or insurance companies provide roadside

assistance services want to avoid using such

services. One way to do just that is to learn

about potential indicators of engine trouble.

WARNING LIGHTS

Vehicle warning lights exist for a reason.

According to the automotive retailer Pep

Boys®, a check engine light typically illuminates

when vehicle sensors detect there are

issues stemming from a loss of power. This

can be dangerous, and Pep Boys® recommends

drivers pull over and call for a tow

the moment the light comes on. In addition

to check engine lights, drivers should heed

warning lights referring to oil pressure and

oil levels.

POOR GAS MILEAGE

An easy way for drivers to monitor vehicle

performance is to keep gas mileage in mind.

If a vehicle suddenly feels like it’s not getting

as much mileage out of a tank of gas as it

used to, this might be indicative of engine

troubles. A fuel additive such as a fuel injector

cleaner might be helpful because it can

clean clogged fuel injectors that can affect

performance and lead to poor acceleration.

However, the automotive retailer Advance

Auto Parts® notes that such products are not

a one-size-fits-all cure. If vehicles continue

to suffer from reduced gas mileage, drivers

should bring them to a mechanic for a thorough

examination.

JERKING

Some signs of engine trouble are not as

subtle as reduced gas mileage. Vehicles that

begin to jerk while they’re being driven are

likely suffering from some form of engine

trouble. Jerking might put a scare in drivers,

but it’s not necessarily the result of a major

problem, even if it is one that should be

addressed immediately. A jerking vehicle

that stalls puts drivers, their passengers and

other motorists at risk of accident, so bring

this issue to the attention of your mechanic

immediately. Poorly functioning spark

plugs may be the culprit behind jerking, and

that’s a relatively inexpensive and quick fix.

However, other issues can cause jerking as

well, so don’t delay in speaking with your

mechanic.

Vehicles may indicate engine troubles in

various ways. Drivers should contact their

mechanics immediately whenever they

suspect engine trouble is affecting their

vehicles.

DID YOU KNOW?

Cars and trucks can benefit greatly from clean air filters. Many drivers are aware of the need to

change the oil in their vehicles according to the intervals designated in their owners’ manuals, but few

may be aware of the many benefits of changing air filters. One such benefit pertains to fuel efficiency.

The automotive website CarsDirect.com notes that studies have shown that changing clogged air filters

can improve fuel efficiency by as much as 10 percent and save drivers as much as 15 cents per gallon of

fuel. Clean air filters also can benefit the environment. When vehicle air filters are clogged, air flow to

the engine is reduced, adversely affecting vehicle emissions. Clean filters increase air flow to the engine,

reducing vehicle emissions as a result. Clean air filters also can help drivers get more out of their vehicle

investments. Designed to trap dirt and debris, clean air filters prolong engine life by preventing such

particles from damaging engine components. Drivers can check their owners’ manuals for air filter

replacement guidelines, but manufacturers generally advise drivers change their air filters every 12,000

to 15,000 miles. Such a repair is inexpensive but can go a long way toward ensuring vehicles operate as

efficiently as possible.

5 factors to consider when buying a home

Home ownership is a dream for many people. In fact, buying

a home is considered by many people to be a major life

accomplishment.

Various factors determine what makes a

home an attractive place to live. While some

considerations may overlap, others may be

unique to individual buyers. Those new to

the real estate arena may want to consider

the following factors as they search for a

new place to call home.

PROPERTY TAXES

Property taxes can greatly affect the overall

cost of living in a particular home. The

real estate company RedFin says property

taxes are generally levied by each county

and often include taxes paid to schools, utility

companies and municipal governments.

Property taxes will usually be factored into

a monthly mortgage payment, and how

high (or low) taxes are can turn an affordable

mortgage payment into something

that can break a budget. When calculating

payments, be sure to include property taxes

in your estimates.

JOB SECURITY/

AVAILABILITY

The financial resource

Fortune Builder says to

consider your job security

before taking the home

ownership plunge. Before

committing to an investment

as substantial as a home,

ensure that you are secure in

your job. Similarly, if you are

relocating for job prospects,

verify that the new location

has a thriving job market.

LOCAL SCHOOLS

For potential homeowners

with children or those planning

on becoming parents,

area schools should merit

significant consideration.

Research school rankings

and reviews, but know

that rankings can change.

American Family Insurance

Company says to also look at

the school budget history of

THANK YOU FOR SAYING

I SAW IT IN

• • •

towns you’re considering to see if residents

prioritize funding for education. This can be

a measure of how important education is in

a given community.

COMMUTE TIMES

Home ownership involves both lifestyle

and financial decisions. Calculate the time

it will take to travel to and from work when

considering a certain town or neighborhood.

Find out if there is mass transit and

what options are available for off-hour travel

needs.

LIFESTYLE OPTIONS

Quality nightlife, arts and history, community

events, proximity to cultural centers

or cities, and other factors are at play in

choosing a home. Make sure your new community

allows you to still enjoy the things

you’re passionate about.

Buying a home involves considering various

factors that can affect your budget and

quality of life.
