Governor Phil Scott Establishes

Racial Equity Task Force

Governor Phil Scott has signed an

Executive Order to form the Racial Equity

Task Force as a component of a broader state

effort to promote racial, ethnic and cultural

equity, including in its response to COVID-

19.

“We cannot continue to treat racism and

examples like the one in Minneapolis as

uncomfortable and rare events, which is why

we’ve been working on a Racial Equity Task

Force in recent months,” said Governor Scott.

“A task force is not the cure-all for what ails

us. It is going to take some soul searching and

real change—individually and systemically—to

make a difference. The good news is,

we can fix this without waiting for a vaccine

or other solutions out of our control. It just

takes us uniting to make this a better country

for everyone because, like the coronavirus,

this is literally in our hands.”

The Task Force will undertake three major

projects including:

• Evaluating structures of support for racially

diverse populations, including a focus on the

racial disparities in health outcomes highlighted

by COVID-19;

• Reviewing current state and federal law on

hate speech and freedom of speech and considering

changes to state law to clarify the

path for prosecuting harassment, hate speech

and other bias-motivated crimes; and

• • •

• • •

• Studying and presenting options to encourage

Vermonters from diverse, marginalized or

underrepresented racial and ethnic groups to

run and serve in public office at all levels.

It will submit recommendations to the

Governor on the first project by August 15

and preliminary recommendations on the

second and third by December 15. The group

will also provide guidance as needed by the

Governor.

“This task force will contribute to advancing

equity in Vermont, and yet it is only one

piece of that effort,” said Executive Director

of Racial Equity Xusana Davis, who will

chair the task force. “The group will shine

further light on existing disparities, but it is

up to individuals, institutions and local and

state government to make it happen. This is

such important work, and it is everyone’s

work.”

The Task Force will be chaired by Davis

and include up to seven additional members,

including representatives from the Governor’s

office, law enforcement, a Vermont chapter of

the National Association for the Advancement

of Colored People (NAACP), the Vermont

Commission on Native American Affairs, the

American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) of

Vermont, the Vermont Human Rights

Commission, and a member of the public.

Farmers and Ranchers in Vermont Can Now

Apply for Financial Assistance through USDA’s

Coronavirus Food Assistance Program

Agricultural producers can now apply for

USDA’s Coronavirus Food Assistance

Program (CFAP), which provides direct

payments to offset impacts from the coronavirus

pandemic. The application and a payment

calculator are now available online,

and USDA’s Farm Service Agency (FSA)

staff members are available via phone, fax

and online tools to help producers complete

applications. The agency set up a call center

in order to simplify how they serve new customers

across the nation.

“We know Vermont producers are facing a

tough time now, and we are making every

effort to provide much needed support as

quickly as possible,” said Wendy Wilton,

State Executive Director for FSA in Vermont.

“FSA is available over the phone and virtually

to walk you through the application

process, whether it’s the first time you’ve

worked with FSA, or if you know us quite

well.”

Applications will be accepted through

August 28, 2020. Through CFAP, USDA is

making available $16 billion for vital financial

assistance to producers of agricultural

commodities who have suffered a five-percent-or-greater

price decline due to COVID-

19 and face additional significant marketing

costs as a result of lower demand, surplus

production, and disruptions to shipping patterns

and the orderly marketing of commodities.

“We also want to remind producers that

the program is structured to ensure the availability

of funding for all eligible producers

who apply,” Wilton said.

In order to do this, producers will receive

80 percent of their maximum total payment

upon approval of the application. The

Col. Mark Anarumo, USAF, (Ret.) Embraces Role

as Norwich University’s 24th President

Norwich University welcomes Colonel

Mark Anarumo, Ph.D., USAF, (Ret.) on his

first day as 24th president of the nation’s oldest

private military college.

President Anarumo comes to Norwich

most recently as the Director and Permanent

Professor for the Center for Character and

Leadership Development, U.S. Air Force

Academy, Colorado, a presidentially-appointed

position.

Anarumo assumes the role as university

president during a historic time not just for

Norwich, which celebrated its bicentennial in

2019, but also for the world during this

global pandemic and associated economic

recession, which is poised to change not just

the field of higher education, but of society at

large.

Comparing it to challenges he has faced in

the past, Anarumo says he is prepared and

invigorated to accept the challenge of leading

during such uncertain times: “The past six

months have been extremely difficult for our

nation. Some citizens have been especially

hard hit; we have a difficult road before us.

As challenging as things have been, I am

sincerely optimistic that we will recover very

well, and our country will end in a better

place than when this pandemic started.

Anarumo’s top three priorities for this year

are to lead the Norwich community through

the necessary changes inherent with the

remaining portion of the payment, not to

exceed the payment limit, will be paid at a

later date nationwide, as funds remain available.

Producers can download the CFAP application

and other eligibility forms from farmers.gov/cfap.

Also, on that webpage, producers

can find a payment calculator to help

identify sales and inventory records needed

to apply and calculate potential payments.

Additionally, producers in search of oneon-one

support with the CFAP application

process can call 877-508-8364 to speak

directly with a USDA employee ready to

offer assistance. This is a good first step

before a producer engages the team at the

FSA county office at their local USDA

Service Center.

Applying for Assistance

Producers of all eligible commodities will

apply through their local FSA office. Those

who use the online calculator tool will be

able to print off a pre-filled CFAP application,

sign, and submit to your local FSA

office either electronically or via hand delivery.

Please contact your local office to determine

the preferred method. Find contact

information for your local office at farmers.

gov/cfap.

Documentation to support the producer’s

application and certification may be requested

after the application is filed. FSA has

streamlined the signup process to not require

an acreage report at the time of application

and a USDA farm number may not be immediately

needed.

More information about this process is

available on farmers.gov/cfap.

To find the latest information on CFAP,

visit farmers.gov/cfap or call 877-508-8364.

COVID-19 pandemic which ensures the

health and safety of the campus community;

to address academic, operational and financial

priorities of Norwich in its third century

of service to the nation; and to learn the

Norwich culture in order to preserve the

200-year-old tradition of educating citizen

soldiers to both build and defend the republic.

Anarumo began his military career in the

U.S. Army, then served 26 years in the U.S.

Air Force, where he recently retired as a

Colonel. His previous assignment was Vice

Commander of the 39th Air Base Wing at

Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, where he was

responsible for approximately 5,000 U.S.

military, civilian and contractor personnel

and the combat readiness of U.S. Air Force

units at Incirlik and four geographically separated

units in Turkey.

He entered the Air Force in 1994 as the

Distinguished Graduate of Air Force Reserve

Officers’ Training Corps at Rutgers

University. He earned a Bachelor’s degree,

Master of Arts, and a Ph.D. in Criminal

Justice – all from Rutgers University.

Norwich University has convened a task

force to plan the fall semester during the

COVID-19 pandemic restrictions on physical

gatherings. For the most up to date information,

Anarumo, please visit Norwich.edu/psa.

The Vermont Community Foundation Grants

$622,334 in Third and Largest Round from

VT COVID-19 Response Fund

The Vermont Community Foundation has

distributed its third and largest round of

grants totaling $622,334 from the VT

COVID-19 Response Fund. The latest grants

are designed to support the rapidly changing

landscape of relief efforts throughout the state

and are focused on youth and family centers,

mental and behavioral health services, housing

and legal services, and organizations that

work with communities of color, indigenous

people, and migrant workers. Among the

grants is a $60,000 award to the Vermont

Foodbank to purchase and process surplus

local milk for the charitable food system

through a partnership with the Vermont

Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets.

The Community Foundation also

announced that donations to the VT COVID-

19 Response Fund exceeded $5.19 million, a

testament to scale of the challenge posed by

the pandemic in Vermont, and to the generosity

of Vermonters and others determined to

see the state through the current crisis. The

Community Foundation established the

Response Fund to provide individuals, businesses,

and other grantmakers a one-stop

shop where donations are pooled and

deployed in a coordinated manner that can

quickly adapt to changing circumstances.

While recent rounds of grants have been

focused on immediate relief efforts, the

Community Foundation has earmarked a significant

portion of donations for the coming

recovery efforts to rebuild community services

in a way that gives more Vermonters the

opportunity to thrive.

“We are at the very beginning of what will

be a long process of rebuilding,” says

President & CEO Dan Smith. “As difficult as

that process will be, the real tragedy will be if

we don’t seize the opportunity to create

greater resilience for our communities and

the people who live here in the face of future

challenges. The hardest but most rewarding

work for Vermont is on the horizon.”

The Foundation gives out grants from the

VT COVID-19 Response Fund every few

weeks in consultation with an advisory committee

that provides insight into developing

needs throughout Vermont.

Since its inception, the VT COVID-19

Response Fund has distributed $1.67 million.

In addition, more than $2.2 million has been

granted by donors who have charitable funds

housed at the Community Foundation, an

amount that is expected to grow as the crisis

evolves.

“In the face of declining giving nationally,

we have seen a tremendous outpouring of

generosity from the Community Foundation’s

fundholders, both in their gifts to the

Response Fund as well as in their own distinct

grantmaking,” says Stacie Fagan, Vice

President for Philanthropy. “Our fundholders

are giving more, giving earlier, and giving

more flexibly. They walk down the same

main streets that you and I do. They know it

will take an unprecedented philanthropic

response to get communities back on their

feet after the immediate relief needs are

addressed, and they’re in this with us for the

long run.”

For the full list of grant recipients from the

third round of grantmaking, visit vtcovid19response.org/stories-and-announcements/

grants-3.

The Vermont Community Foundation

inspires giving and brings people and resources

together to make a difference in Vermont.

This includes helping to coordinate philanthropic

response in times of crisis and challenge.

The Foundation is committed to helping

Vermont communities that are impacted

by COVID-19 by responding to immediate

needs and long-term recovery efforts. Visit

Commissioner Tierney and her team,” said

Secretary French. “Public Service have been

Barre Opera House to Remain

Closed through 2020

Citing long-term uncertainty regarding

Covid-19, restrictions on the assembly of large

groups and the ability and willingness of touring

artists to perform on scheduled dates, the

Barre Opera House Board of Directors voted

unanimously to keep its doors closed through

the current calendar year at its May meeting

last week.

“Social distancing in some form will still be

a reality on October 3, our scheduled season

start,” says BOH Director Dan Casey. “We’re

anticipating that the number of patrons we’ll

be permitted to allow in the theater simply

won’t present a sustainable financial scenario

to enable us to move forward with the season

as planned.” With that in mind, Casey has

already begun to reschedule the performances

involved in the Opera House’s signature

Celebration Series as well as those presented

under the “Barre Opera Presents” format.

These events usually run from September to

May but will now all occur after January 1,

2021. Over half of the events that take place at

the historic 650-seat theater each year are outside

rentals and the BOH staff is working with

these presenters to shift any of their affected

dates into the latter half of the season, as well.

In addition to disrupting normal programming,

the Opera House was two-thirds of the

way through a capital campaign, its first in

over 28 years, to raise funds for major improvements.

“While this has certainly had an immediate

impact on our fundraising, there may be

a silver lining,” reports board member and

capital campaign chair, Bob Pope. “We now

have several months of dark time to complete

a good portion of the work that was scheduled

to begin in summer 2021. While we still have

to raise the final portion of funding, if we’re

Great News From the Jaquith Public

Library In Marshfield

The Jaquith Public Library is working on

opening. Please keep checking our website,

Facebook and Front Porch Forum for our

opening date.

We continue to offer curbside service.

Outside pick-up of library materials, books,

DVD’s, magazines, and audio-books are

available to all patrons on Tuesday through

Friday from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. and 2 to

5 p.m. Email or call the library with your

requests: 802-426-3581 or email: jaquithpubliclibrary@gmail.com.

Home deliveries are

available to senior citizens within a ten mile

radius of the library. We are now ready to

accept your returns. We don’t charge overdue

fees, but we do charge for missing materials.

We started the interlibrary loan service

on May 18th so you can order books for free

from all over Vermont and the United States;

outside of the U.S. if you are willing to pay

the postage.

Our Summer Reading Challenge begins

on June 15th: For now children sign-up to

join by calling or emailing the library and do

a curbside pick-up of their reading logs, stickers

and bookmarks. When we open, they can

sign-up and get their materials in person!

When they have completed the challenge,

they win a beautiful T-shirt with the summer

theme “Imagine Your Story” decal on the

front and a prize. We are proud to say 84 children

signed up for the challenge last year and

68 won a t-shirt – an 81% completion rate!

We are in the midst of planning summer

programs where social distancing can be

practiced. We will post the dates and times

able to complete all the work now, this will

eliminate the need to close the theater later.”

Planned capital improvements include replacing

the antiquated rigging system, renovating

orchestra-level seating and repainting the interior

of the theater, including the decorative

metal ceiling and plasterwork. This work will

be overseen by Connor Contracting as Project

Manager with support from DeWolfe

Engineering as Design Consultant. Work on

the stagehouse is now slated to begin in early

July.

The Opera House’s 2019-20 season came to

an abrupt halt in early March with the pandemic

forcing the cancellation of 27 events and

4 weeks of youth summer camps. “This would

have been simply unfathomable before its

onset,” reports Casey, “and the financial implications

have been devastating for us.” The

Opera House is hopeful that it will receive

assistance through the State of Vermont’s portion

of CARES Act funding and through other

public and private channels, as well. “We’ve

received a Cultural Relief Grant, distributed

through the Vermont Arts Council, and also a

Coronavirus Relief Grant from Vermont

Mutual Insurance. These are very much appreciated

and have helped us maintain some stability

to this point. However, this generous

support doesn’t even come close to replacing

the earned income we’ve lost due to the cancelled

events and camps.”

The historic Barre Opera House offers 60+

events, and is in use over l00 days each year.

The Opera House is also a major economic

driver for Barre and the surrounding area.

According to the Arts & Economic Prosperity

Calculator, the theater triggers over $1.25M in

local spending each year.

Business Owners Urge Vermont Legislature

to Give Them a Fighting Chance and Quickly

Release State Assistance

Business owners from the restaurant, construction,

retail and agricultural sectors held a

press conference to urge the Vermont State

Legislature to act quickly to release much

needed state financial assistance in the form

of flexible grants.

Various committees in the legislature have

been reviewing the Scott Administration’s

proposal for a $400 million stimulus package

which uses federal CARES Act money. It

includes emergency grants and loans for businesses

impacted by the pandemic and subsequent

closures. But many businesses across

the state fear that the current legislative process

will not get them the money they desperately

need quickly enough.

“We appreciate the governor’s proposal

and that the legislature is working hard to get

relief to Vermont’s restaurant sector. But we

need them to understand that every day without

it edges many restaurants closer to closing

their doors for good,” said Jed Davis,

owner of the Farmhouse Group. “Simply put,

the checks need to go out now. Restaurants

were some of the first to close and last to

reopen. Restaurants need grants, not just

more loans, to give us a shot at long term

survival.”

East Calais General Store Building Purchased –

Community Funding Sought

The East Calais Community Trust exercised

its option to purchase the building that

houses the General Store of East Calais on

May 15. A purchase and sales agreement is

now being completed with expected closure

in 30 days. The store closed in December and

that gaping hole in the small, rural community

has been deeply felt and the store sorely

missed, especially in these difficult times.

The purchase is the first exciting step toward

rehabilitating the historic landmark and the

re-opening of a revitalized General Store.

A little background: About a year ago a

small group of Calais residents formed a

Vermont non-profit called the East Calais

Community Trust (ECCT). Its mission has

been to purchase the building, keeping it

locally owned, with the goal of making restorations

and resurrecting the store. The

Preservation Trust of Vermont has provided

guidance and fiscal sponsorship, accepting

donations on its behalf. Up to this point, the

fundraising campaign had been low key while

negotiating the sale. Several Calais residents

have made generous donations and pledges

raising about half of the purchase price.

Now the ECCT is reaching out to the

Calais community and beyond for support.

They have about 30 days to raise the balance

of the purchase price and closing expenses to

get over the finish line.

The re-opening of the General Store will

bring back to life the beating heart of the village

and will be a catalyst for further economic

opportunities. Along with donations

Businesses are also concerned that the current

proposal would reduce the state assistance

they receive based on prior acceptance

of federal aid.

“We are in a desperate situation – with

cheesemakers seeing 25-75% sales losses

across the state, they are concerned about closing

their doors,” said Marty Mundy, Executive

Director of the Vermont Cheese Council.

“Most can’t take on any further loans at this

point – meaning this funding must be grant

funding if the state is trying to help. This is the

only way we will be able to keep businesses

open in a crisis environment that will likely last

well into 2021 and beyond.”

As the Scott Administration begins easing

restrictions across sectors, businesses are navigating

a complex and sometimes impossible

framework of debt and diminished capacity.

“By supporting immediate emergency

grant assistance utilized in combination with

federal relief, you will give our businesses

and the communities they call home a fighting

chance,” said Jim Bradley, President of

Vermont Builders and Remodelers

Association . “That’s what we are asking for

today. A fighting chance.”

the ECCT is seeking creative ideas to help

envision a more vibrant General Store that

will also serve as a gathering place for the

community and travelers passing through the

village.

Board member Denise Wheeler commented,

“Now that we will own the building we

can use it for small pop-ups, community

cleanup work bees, and begin garnering that

sense of community we want for the new

store. We look forward to a grand opening

with the store shelves full of local products

and more.”

To be clear, the East Calais Community

Trust will now own the building. As renovations

get underway the ECCT will be searching

for someone to lease or manage the store.

WASHINGTON – Jacques (Jake)

Boudreault, 81 of Washington Vermont,

passed away unexpectedly on May 28,

2020 at his home. Born December 9,

1938, Jacques was the son of Adelard

and Marguerite Boudreault.

Jacques was born in Lac St. Jean,

Quebec, Canada, and was one of 9 siblings

who lived on the family’s farm in

Coaticook, Quebec, Canada. He started

working at an early age as a lumberjack and met and married

the love of his life Stephanette (Boily). They moved to the

United States in 1965, where they resided in Barre, Vermont

for over 40 years, before moving to Washington, Vermont.

Jacques was a gifted stone cutter that worked in the industry

for over 35 years. One of his greatest passions was his

Christmas tree and wreath business which brought him such

great joy to be with his family and bring holiday spirit to

hundreds of loyal customers for many years. Jacques was also

a lifetime member of the Canadian Club.

Jacques was a devoted father, grandfather, and greatgrandfather,

who loved and cherished spending time with his

family. Supporting and caring for his family and friends was

what Jacques did, he would give you the shirt off his back.

Known for his wit and sense of humor, he loved to tell jokes,

and make everyone laugh. He enjoyed spending time at the

family camp in Norton, Vermont, taking his wife Stephanette

for rides in the car, having breakfast with his friends at Soups

and Greens in Barre and with his family at Café Central in

Coaticook, Québec, Canada, attending his children and

grandchildren’s events including military, school and sports,

and visiting his family in Canada, and connecting with

friends and relatives on his iPad through Facebook. Jacques

touched countless lives and has left a huge void in many

people’s hearts. Although the family has lost their patriarch,

his legacy will remain in their hearts forever as he watches

over them from heaven.

Jacques is survived by his loving wife Stephanette of 60

years, his three children, Mario (Rhonda Richards), Gilles

(Victoria Canas) and Sylvie (Fred Blanchard), grandchildren

Christopher Bylow (Sara Calcagni), Jennifer (Colt Knipp),

(Lionel Richard), sister Denise (Gerard Boily), brother-inlaws

Jacqueline (Jean-Pierre Laliberte) and Madeleine Valcourt.

Jacques is predeceased by his parents Adelard and

Marguerite, his brothers Marcel and Camille, infant sister

Louisette, brother-in-laws Richard Tremblay, Edgar Boily

(Liliane), Yvon Boily (Bernadette) and sister-in-laws Laurette

Couturier, Camille Mercier, Hermance Boily (Roger Dufault),

Danny Lawrence Lawson

BERLIN, VT – Danny

Lawrence Lawson of Berlin,

VT died on Wednesday May 27th, 2020

after an intense one year battle with cancer.

He was 59 years old. Danny was a

one-of-kind, big personality, and his

death leaves a huge hole in the lives of

those who knew and loved him.

Danny was born on August 28th,

1960. The first child of Lawrence

Lawson and Ellen (Stacy) Lawson in Berlin, VT. Danny

graduated from U32 in 1978. After graduating he joined the

Army Reserves at 17 with his father’s permission. He trained

as a mechanic and had many “adventures” during his service.

After his stint with the Army Reserves, he started working

at Barre Sign Company with his father, Lawrence Lawson.

He then moved on to Tardy Memorials where he worked as

stone cutter for 25 Years. He even carved his own father’s

memorial.

Danny loved Berlin. He was a walking history book about

Berlin. There was not much he could not tell you about the

town of Berlin. Danny’s favorite spot in Berlin was Berlin

Pond, a place he first discovered for teenage hijinks, but later

came to love for its peace and beauty. He even volunteered as

the caretaker at Black Cemetery on the pond, a place he

would bring his daughter so she could see the grave of the

first girl to die in Berlin. He loved fishing, and simply being

at the pond – especially on spring nights when the peepers

were out. He always enjoyed picking Pussy Willows for his

loved ones at Berlin Pond.

Danny was not always easy to get along with, but he was

exactly himself at all times – a straight shooter! He loved

spending time with his family, who share the same unique

sense of humor, and his long time best friend, Bob Askew of

Berlin. Danny was very proud of his home, which he called

“The Cabin” He also loved animals, his beloved dog, Nugget,

is buried at The Cabin, and his cat, Little Man, brought him a

lot of joy. He lived a full life and the stories of his exploits

keep his family laughing through their tears.

After his cancer diagnosis he fought hard for every day of

his life. His daughter Danielle (AKA by Danny as “The

Brat” “Monkey” “Waldo” “The kid” and “Little Girl”)

moved from North Carolina to be in Vermont to help care

for him, though he would remain fiercely independent until

his final days. His family would like to extend their gratitude

to his cancer care team at Dartmouth-Hitchcock

Medical Center, Norris Cotton Cancer Center. Danny’s

family would like to offer a heartfelt thank you for all you

did for Danny through this journey, especially Dr. Frederick

Lansigan & Kylie McCarty, RN BSN.

In death he joins his father, Lawrence, and beloved cousin,

Steve Wheeler. He leaves behind his only child, Danielle

Graves of Middlesex, VT; his beloved Marine son-in-law,

Fred Graves IV; and three grandchildren Brandon, Alyvia,

and Liam Graves of Middlesex, VT; his mother, Ellen

Lawson of Berlin, VT; his sisters, Julie Lawson of Middlesex,

VT, and Lisa Lawson of New Hampshire.

A special Thank you to Mark Wheeler, Tommy Stacy,

Robin Gomez, Stephanie Parks, Annette Thurston, Wayne

Bernier, Bob Askew, for the unlimited amount of support in

Danny’s final days.

A private ceremony will be held to honor Danny’s life and

military service.

Danny’s family asks that memorial contributions in

Danny’s honor be made to the Dartmouth-Hitchcock Norris

Cotton Cancer Center Hematology/Oncology Department.

(https://cancer.dartmouth.edu/donate).

He always loved getting cards, so if you have a memory

you’d like to share please write a card and send it to his family

c/o Guare & Sons Funeral Home (30 School Street,

Montpelier, VT 05602). And, if you have a moment, drive out

to Berlin Pond, sit by the culvert and think of Danny.

Mayo E. Sanborn

BARRE TOWN – Mayo Elwin Sanborn,

83, of West Cobble Hill Road passed

away on Tuesday, June 2, 2020 at Mayo

Rehabilitation and Continuing Care in

Northfield.

Born on January 10, 1937 in Barre, he

was the first of two children of Elwin

Lina and Eliza Jane “Jeannie” (McAllan)

Sanborn.

Mayo was a life-long Vermonter,

spending his youth in Barre and the majority of his adult

years in Barre Town. He attended Lincoln Graded School on

Hill Street and Spaulding High School on Washington Street,

from which he graduated in 1954. Mayo also attended the

University of Vermont in Burlington.

On September 1, 1957, Mayo married Ida Marion Heath of

Cabot, in the chapel of Bethany Congregational Church in

Montpelier. Their marriage passed the test of time and

resulted in a lifetime that included a great many happy and

gratifying family memories.

In his earlier years, Mayo worked for a neighborhood automobile

service station (MacDonald’s, now Stone’s Service

Station) during high school, for Walker Motors of Montpelier

in the Parts Department, and began his career with Capitol

Stationers, Incorporated in 1958. After 30 years, Mayo purchased

the Barre branch of Capitol Stationers, located at 100

North Main Street, from the Bigglestone family of Montpelier.

Mayo and Ida operated “Mayo’s Capitol Stationers of Barre”

until retirement in 2002.

Community service was important to Mayo. Of greatest

pride was his affiliation and service with the Kiwanis Club

of Barre. He served with distinction for 58 years. During

this time, he served on countless special project teams,

including the annual auction, providing benefit to the community

and youth causes. He led the club as President in

1969 and was elected as New England District Lieutenant

Governor in 1971.

As a member of the Greater Barre Jaycees during his

early years as a young business professional, he contributed

toward planning and service activities that strengthened the

local business community; highlights of his service included

the Presidency in 1965 and the Distinguished Service

Award in 1968 at both the local and state levels. He had

been a member of the Barre Congregational Church and

served in capacities such as Chairman of the Buildings and

the Finance Committees, Captain of the ushers, and

Co-President (with his wife, Ida) of the Congregational

Adults (Co-Ads) group. Mayo also served three terms as

Cub Scout Master for Pack #17, as a Neighborhood

Commissioner for the Long Trail Council, was a member of

the Grange, and served on the Barre Merchants Bureau,

including 2 years as President and 7 years as Treasurer.

Mayo also was a long-time member of the Barre Town

Board of Selectmen. He began service in 1981 and became

the Chairman in 1985, was a member of the Planning

Commission, served as Chairman, Board of Civil Authority,

and also served as Justice of the Peace.

In his spare time, Mayo found great joy and relaxation in

downhill skiing, bird and deer hunting, working outdoors,

and playing with grandchildren. He ensured annual renewal

of his ski pass for the slopes of Bolton Valley and greatly

enjoyed skiing with friends and family. Annual deer hunting

camp each November with family members was another

of his great joys, of which little can be said because what

goes on in hunting camp stays in hunting camp.

Survivors include his wife, Ida, of Barre Town; his first

son, Jeffrey, of Morrisville, VT; his second son and daughter-in-law,

Scott and Chong Kyu, of Gainesville, VA; four

grandchildren and spouses, William and his wife, Diana;

and Jane and her husband, Rainier; from Scott and Chong

Kyu and Anna and Elsa from Jeffrey and former wife Jen

Watkins; two great grandchildren, Desmond and Blanca

from William and Diana; his brother and sister-in-law,

Earle and Martha Sanborn of Barre Town; his sister-in-law,

Bernardine Haslam of Essex Junction; his brother-in-law

and wife, Herb and Tina Heath of Barre; several cousins and

many nieces and nephews.

A memorial service will take place later in June at the

Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home in Barre, at the convenience

of the family. The family thanks the staff at Mayo

Rehabilitation and Continuing Care in Northfield for their

care and dedication to Mayo in recent years. Mayo’s place of

rest will be at the Cabot Village Cemetery on Elm Street.

George Floyd’s Murder

Letter to the Editor,

The obscene public execution of George Floyd on Monday

night May 25th by Minneapolis police has brought about righteous

indignation and protests not only in Minnesota but

across the country as the american public has finally had

enough of the continuous system of non-accountablity and

protection from serious prosecution afforded to brutal thugs

posing as police officers. We have even seen it here in

Vermont where these systemic patterns have been manifested

in similar occurrences. George Floyd’s murder is part of a racist

pattern that permeates both U.S. domestic and foreign

policy. And it is the american police and military that have

become the repressive agents that enforce this racist system

both here against its own citizens and against citizens of foreign

lands. People must make it known loud and clear through

their words and actions that the insidious economic, cultural,

and political militarization of american society that establishes

the power base for racism both here and abroad must stop and

will no longer be allowed to operate.

Ralph Corbo, Wallingford, VT

A Note to Our Community

With the world upended by yet another outrageously unjust

racially motivated killing, and ensuing protests, we at Inclusive

Arts Vermont are reflecting on how we as an organization can

do better. We are feeling a full range of emotions alongside

you. We are mourning the loss of George Floyd and countless

others who have been the victims of violent racism. We are

saddened by the losses of lives caused by COVID-19, which

are disproportionately higher in the disability and POC communities.

Our organization was a creation of the disability rights

movement. We were made to ensure that, through the arts, the

voices of people with disabilities are celebrated and heard. We

work towards that end every day, but can do so much more. As

our friends at Vermont Arts Council said, arts organizations

“have a deep responsibility in the present moment, to stand

against hatred and racial injustice. We often say that the arts

promote empathy, that a great painting, sculpture, or poem has

the power to lift us above our divisions and inspire us to transcend

our personal point of view, to stand in the shoes of

another. Now is the time to be true to those values.”

Disability does not discriminate. It affects all populations

regardless of income, sexual orientation, location, or skin

color. We recognize that people of color are particularly

underrepresented in the arts, and within our own organization.

We own this lacking and want you to know that we are committed

to changing it throughout all of our systems: programming,

messaging, staff, and board alike.

We believe that all people are whole and perfect exactly as

they are – and that includes the color of someone’s skin. Our

organization often says that the creative process creates space

for bravery, authenticity, connection, and joy. We also talk a

lot about making magic. Right now, the world needs bravery

and connection and change more than ever, but it won’t happen

through magic. Change happens through intentional

action and work.

Inclusive Arts Vermont sees the need for change. We know

that we cannot change the entire world, but we can affect our

circle. We can do more, do better, and while we should have

acted sooner, we’re going to now. What that exactly looks like

yet we aren’t sure, but know that our staff will do everything

we can to make sure that all voices are truly included in our

programming and messaging.

We want to use our platform to celebrate and amplify the

voices and creativity of artists of color with disabilities. If you

have resources or thoughts to share, please don’t hesitate to

reach out to us at info@inclsuiveartsvermont.org. We would

love to listen to and learn from you.

Donovan Come Together to Issue

Statements on Peaceful Protests

Attorney General T.J. Donovan

“Protests have been an important part of our democracy, driving

change throughout our history. The peaceful protests we’ve

seen in Vermont are an important outlet for our communities to

express their sadness, anger and frustrations, and to call for

change. This is a critical moment in our history, and it is our

responsibility, as public servants, to listen and allow for these

protests to safely continue. I thank Vermonters for their commitment

to protecting each other, both through the change we are

A huge, peaceful crowd filled the State House lawn on Sunday in

support of George Floyd and others who have wrongfully died at

the hands of law enforcement in recent times. This organized event

for Black Lives Matter was part of a nationwide protest that has

been raging for the last several weeks as the brutal and unwarranted

death of Floyd was view by the entire world.

trying to seek and how we are seeking it.” – Governor Phil Scott

“Protesting is a constitutional right, and I will protect it.

Vermonters have come together across the state to demonstrate

their collective outrage and voice the need for justice and

change. We, as law enforcement, must listen.

As protests continue, I ask that Vermonters peacefully exercise

their civil rights and that police give protestors the latitude

they need to do so. I also urge law enforcement to exercise

restraint and use their creative problem-solving skills so that

protesters may peacefully express our nation’s outrage and call

for justice during these difficult times.”

Statement in Solidarity with Peaceful

National Demonstrations for Justice

and Equality.

As an institution dedicated to teaching the history of the

Holocaust, the Vermont Holocaust Memorial (VTHM) has an

obligation to speak out against injustices that target marginalized

people and communities. We stand with victims of bias

and racism, and with the families of those who have been

senselessly killed.

VTHM’s mission is to educate by sharing memories and

lessons of the Holocaust. We commend those who respond

with kindness – those “up-standers” who demonstrate peacefully

because they seek to make a better and more beautiful

world; and who seek to turn pain into coexistence, promise,

and progress. We stand firm against those who wish to do

harm because of who a person is, whatever their race, creed,

color, sexual orientation, or religious beliefs.

VTHM knows from personal experience that racism is

neither a thing of the past, nor a simple political issue. The

current tense racial situation, as well as that of recent antisemitism,

has made us acutely aware of the need to foster

inclusion and respect in our society. People of good conscience

should never sit idly by and allow hate, discrimination,

and violence to corrupt our nation. Every American citizen

has the fundamental right to peaceful public protest, but

that should not lead to brutality and destruction.

Our federal government recently passed the “Never Again

Education Act” as a means of supporting lessons of the

Holocaust throughout our country. Rejecting racism, persecution,

and discrimination is the bulwark behind the meaning of

“Never Again!”

VTHM calls upon all people to work together in the pursuit

of peace and justice, and toward a time when bigotry and racism

is replaced with respect for all.

GUEST OPINION

Addressing Vermont’s Rising Food Insecurities

Dear Vermont Policy Makers:

We write to draw your attention to an urgent and unprecedented

food security crisis in Vermont, and to ask you to commit

funds to address this crisis now.

Coronavirus Relief Funds must be directed quickly to begin

to address the rising food insecurity in our state. We ask that

$18 million be allocated to support the structures and systems

in place now to meet the increased demand, transportation

needs, labor costs, and communication needs associated with

the COVID-19 response efforts. We are also recommending

an additional $20 million be allocated for direct support to

families to increase current 3SquaresVT benefits by 15% and

allow for a surge in applications when new outreach efforts

are implemented.

The $18 million total includes financial support for currently

overburdened programs like school and summer meal

programs for children and the Vermont Foodbank’s efforts to

distribute food — including local food through Vermonters

Feeding Vermonters — in partnership with its 215 network

partners to families and individuals across the state. It also

includes a stimulus for schools to purchase food from VT

farmers and producers; provision of school meals to early

childhood sites, and feeding homeless households staying in

motels during the pandemic. The funding will also cover the

cost of increased outreach needed for 3SquaresVT and additional

Crop Cash funding for Vermont families to access local

food at farmers markets. We cannot wait for potential FEMA

reimbursement for these huge expenses that our agencies, our

partners, and our school districts are shouldering on behalf of

the State at this time.

As we begin to emerge from the immediate COVID-19

emergency, we are seeing alarming signs of increasing food

insecurity for Vermonters and their families. We write this

letter to call your attention to the rising threat of hunger and

ask that you work with us and others to ensure a well-planned

and executed response at the state level. The State of Vermont

cannot expect our schools and charitable food system to

shoulder the entire burden without state support. We are concerned

for the health and well-being of Vermonters, especially

our most vulnerable communities. As extra unemployment

benefits at the federal level are withdrawn and people exhaust

their savings, we expect that food insecurity is going to

increase, or in the best case, remain at current high levels for

the next 12-24 months.

We consider this situation to be at emergency levels.

Various data points tell us of the increasing need.

• The Vermont Foodbank has seen drastic increases in the

number of people reaching out for help, ranging up to an

800% increase at partner sites and distributions.

• The most recent data from Feeding America, released in

mid-May estimates the number of food insecure people in

Vermont has increased by 46% and that child food insecurity

in VT has increased by 60%.

The pandemic has shone a light on the thousands of people

who have long lived in poverty in Vermont, and has also

resulted in families who have never before been worried

about putting food on their table, after suddenly losing their

jobs, facing that very reality for the first time. We know that

children and people from marginalized populations are especially

vulnerable to hunger. No person living in Vermont

should be worried about how they will get the food they need

to be healthy.

At the same time that families across our state are facing

rising food insecurity, Vermont’s farmers are struggling from

the loss of key markets like restaurants and institutions. The

State needs to invest in programs that help ensure Vermonters

are fed while supporting Vermont’s farmers. Programs such as

The VT Foodbank’s Vermonters Feeding Vermonters and

Citizen Kane (1941)

★★★★

• • •

NOFA-VT’s Crop Cash and Farm Share, as well as investments

in school meals programs’ ability to purchase local

food, will work to address immediate needs while also leading

to a more localized, resilient food system in the future.

We understand that the State of Vermont and VT National

Guard’s support for the Farmers to Families Food Box distribution

efforts will be ending in mid-June. As this assistance is

withdrawn, replacement resources will be needed to continue

distributing this emergency food to Vermont families. Millions

of meals worth of food have already been distributed, and

high demand continues at all distribution locations. It takes an

enormous amount of labor and organization to ensure that

these foods are distributed across the state equitably and

safely. The USDA has indicated that this program will continue

through the end of the year with the potential to provide

roughly 1.6 million pounds of food per month. This would

almost double the Vermont Foodbank’s average distribution

during that time period and would require double the resources

to execute given the challenge of distributing perishable,

pre-boxed food. Considerable support is needed for the

Foodbank to accommodate that need; we must collectively be

prepared to sustain the effort for the next six months or risk

missing out on these federal food resources available to our

state, and the revenues to Vermont farmers that are providing

food for the boxes.

We have not yet passed into a recovery phase with regard

to food insecurity. As we continue to respond to the crisis and

move toward recovery, we must also lay a foundation for

reduced food insecurity in the future. Settling for returning to

some “tolerable” number of hungry Vermonters is not acceptable,

and would be a terrible waste of the opportunity we have

as a state to make real change. 3SquaresVT is the most

streamlined and dignified way for Vermonters with insufficient

incomes to access food, and brings millions of needed

federal dollars into our local food economy. To combat the

deep barriers and stigma that potential participants face in

applying to 3SquaresVT, the State must invest in expanding

outreach efforts to ensure that anyone who needs 3SquaresVT

benefits learns that the program is available to them and is

able to access help in applying for the program.

3SquaresVT benefit levels were never adequate for families

facing food insecurity, and now more than ever, the benefit

falls short for families to afford a nutritious diet. The State

of Vermont must seize the opportunity presented by this crisis

to help 3SquaresVT benefits meet people’s needs by supplementing

the federal benefits. The federal government is considering

increasing benefits amounts by 15%, as it did temporarily

in 2009. The State has the opportunity to act quickly and

increase benefits now, until Congress can make a decision to

support this increase with federal dollars.

To appropriately address the rising food insecurity in our

state, losses to farmers and the rising costs and demands that

schools, food shelves and others are facing, the response must

be comprehensive and holistic. We must support access to

3SquaresVT and school meals while also supporting the

charitable food system and Crop Cash. The need is urgent and

rapidly rising. The solutions are established, and known. Do

not allow Vermonters to fall further and further into poverty,

to go to bed hungry so that their children can eat, or to choose

between paying rent, buying food, or taking their medications.

The time to act is now.

Thank you for your thoughtful consideration.

Sincerely,

John Sayles, CEO, Vermont Foodbank

Betsy Rosenbluth, Project Director, Vermont FEED

Grace Oedel, Executive Director, Northeast Organic

When the American Film Institute named “Citizen

Kane” #1 on its list of the top 100 movies of all time,

it made little impression on me.

“A stuffy old organiation awarded a stuffy old film based

on reputation and nostalgia,” I thought. “How could a movie

made before my parents were born be as great as ‘Goodfellas?’

It’s absurd.”

was wrong. “Citien Kane” is a splendid, lively film. t is

entertaining, accessible, and unpretentious.

Writer/director Orson Welles stars as Charles Foster Kane.

e spent his first few years living in humble obscurity in rural

Colorado. That is until they discovered that his mother’s property

sits on a mountain of gold. Suddenly super-rich Kane is

shipped off to New York City to begin a life of privilege.

At 25, Kane could do anything he dreamed. All he wanted

was to be a newspaper publisher. In his idealistic youth, he

used The New York Inquirer to call out the excesses of his fellow

millionaires. As the years go by and his ego grows, Kane

uses his newspaper to further his own ambitions. Ultimately,

he runs for governor of New York.

The striking thing about “Citizen Kane” is that it hasn’t

aged a day. Every plot point and every theme is relevant today.

It’s kind of a relief to learn that politics hasn’t changed in 80

years. From the opening scene, we hear Kane and his adversaries

call each other “communist” and “fascist” without making

it clear that they even know what those terms mean.

The night before the big election, Kane’s campaign is derailed

by a scandal. His cynical enemies made sure that the

scandalous news hit the papers at just the right time.

I’m proud of the public today because we now see right

through the bogus outrage of political scandals. In late October,

we are going to learn that President Trump – gasp! – withheld

military aid to Belarus for selfish reasons or that Senator

Biden – shocker! – muttered an offensive slur about Anita Hill

on a hot mic back in ’91. We are finally immune to scandals,

though, so it won’t change any of our votes.

What hasn’t changed is that the media sometimes reports

the news and sometimes it simply makes up the news. The

New York Inquirer places blame on Madrid for a boat explosion

to drum up support for the profitable Spanish American

War (William Randolph Hurst actually did this).

When Kane’s untalented wife can’t make it in showbiz, the

Inquirer runs headlines about what a hot star and glamorous

spouse she is. Eventually, fiction becomes reality and her me-

diocre songs get popular. It

may as well be called “The

Selena Gomez story.”

Orson Welles’s profound

conclusion to “Citizen

Kane” is as relevant as

ever. At the end of his life,

Kane realizes that he would

have been happier if he had

just stayed in Colorado

with his mom. Fame and

fortune turned him into a

miserable megalomaniac.

They brought him no joy

and robbed him of his capacity

to love.

I’m embarrassed that I

was almost as arrogant as

Charles Foster Kane. I was

wrong and the American

Film Institute was right.

“Citizen Kane” might actually

be the #1 movie of all

time.

Father’s Day is Sunday, June 21

Father’s Day was invented by American

Mrs. Sonora Smart Dodd who wanted to honour

her father, a veteran who had, as a single

parent, raised his six children. The first Father’s

Day was celebrated on June 19, 1910.

Unlike Mother’s Day, Father’s Day was

originally met with laughter. It was the target

of much satire, parody and derision with a local

newspaper complaining that it would lead

to mindless promotions such as ‘National

Clean Your Desk Day’.

The first American president to support the

concept of Father’s day was President Calvin

Coolidge, who did so in 1924… but it wasn’t

until in the year 1966 that President Lyndon

Johnson signed a presidential proclamation

that resulted in the declaration of the third

Sunday of June as Father’s Day.

2x3.5

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) Still

operating under a full head of selfesteem

makes you want to tackle

a matter you had shied away from.

OK. But be sure to arm yourself

with facts before you make a move.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) That smart move you recently

made caught the attention of a lot of people, including

some with financial deals to offer. Use your Taurean

wariness to check them out thoroughly.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Shyness might keep you

from asking for more information on a potentially important

matter. But your curiosity grows stronger by midweek

and gives you the impetus for data-gathering.

CANCER ( June 21 to July 22) Taking on too many tasks

may not be the wise thing to do at this time. You might

overspend both your physical and emotional energy reserves,

and have to miss out on some upcoming events.

LEO ( July 23 to August 22) Try to keep your spending at

an affordable level. Splurging now -- especially on credit

-- could create a problem if your finances are too low for

you to take advantage of a possible opportunity.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) You might not approve

of a colleague’s behavior during much of the week.

But don’t play the judgmental Virgo card here. As always,

check the facts before you assume the worst.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Coping with an old

issue that has suddenly re-emerged could take a big toll on

your emotional energies. Decide whether you really want

to pursue the possibilities here.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) For all your skill

in keeping your secrets safe, you could be unwittingly letting

one slip out by the way you’re behaving in that new

relationship. Are congratulations soon to be in order?

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Good

old-fashioned horse sense could help you get around

those who unknowingly or deliberately put obstacles in

your way. Ignore the confusion and follow your own lead.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A puzzling attitude

change in a colleague from friendly to chilly might

stem from a long-hidden resentment suddenly bubbling

up. An open and honest talk should resolve the problem.

AQUARIUS ( January 20 to February 18) This week, many

ever-generous Aquarians might find themselves feeling an

acquisitive urge. If so, indulge it. You’ve earned the right

to treat yourself to wonderful things.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Expect to get a lot

of advice on how to go about implementing your plans.

But once you’ve sorted it all out, you’ll probably find that,

once again, your way will be the best way.

BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy the quiet times of your

life, but when you’re in the mood, you can throw a party

everyone will want to go to.

Many of Vermont’s pollinator species continue to remain in

peril, and as Vermonters are returning to their gardens and

landscaping projects this spring, the Vermont Fish & Wildlife

Department would like to share with the public a few simple

and supportive decisions they can make to greatly benefit our

essential pollinator species.

“The majority of our flowering plants need pollinators in

order to produce seeds,” says Vermont Fish & Wildlife

Department zoologist Mark Ferguson. “Vermont is home to

hundreds of species of pollinators from bees to butterflies to

beetles and other bugs that play a vital role in pollinating our

flowers, trees and food crops. These insects are responsible

for pollinating 60 to 80 percent of Vermont’s wild plants and

play a critical role in the propagation of fruits and vegetables

in gardens, wild berry patches, commercial berry farms, and

apple orchards. Vermont’s bees also play an important role in

pollinating early spring wildflowers like spring beauty and

trout lily.”

“But many pollinator species in Vermont are in trouble,

Ferguson says. Habitat loss, invasive species, single-crop

farming, disease, and pesticide use are a few of the threats

affecting populations of these insects across our state.

Vermont’s native bees, which include over 300 unique species

and three that are threatened or endangered, are among our

pollinators being impacted the most.

A recent examination of our 17 different bumble bees compared

recent observations with historical collections and concluded

that several species have drastically declined or even

disappeared from Vermont, including the Rusty-patched

Bumble Bee.

To better understand not only the number and diversity of

our native bee species, but also their distribution and population

trends, the department and partners are conducting a

three-year study, surveying Vermont bees. Vermont Fish &

Wildlife is working closely with the Vermont Center for

Ecological Studies (VCE) and is inviting any members of the

public interested in contributing to this data collection to email

info@vtecostudies.org or visit http://val.vtecostudies.org/

projects/vtbees/.

Vermonters can also take a stand in conserving our native

bees and other pollinators with a few simple household

Swimming Holes Open with New Guidelines

The Vermont River Conservancy (VRC) anticipates swimming

holes throughout the state will see many visitors with

the warm weather upon us. VRC’s core mission is protecting

public access to places along rivers that are well-loved by

community members and visitors alike. However, VRC’s

Executive Director Steve Libby emphasizes the importance of

swimming hole visitors to follow state guidelines regarding

recreating on public land during the Covid-19 pandemic.

“Vermont River Conservancy sees the unique role swimming

holes play in communities throughout Vermont,” Libby says,

“these are places to enjoy the peace that a river can provide,

to cool off on a hot day, and to recharge your mental wellbeing

during these unsettling times. VRC protects swimming

holes for public enjoyment, but we rely strongly on the

respectful behavior of visitors to ensure these sites can remain

open during the pandemic, and are cared for and maintained

for years to come.”

Visitors to swimming holes protected by VRC will find

signs guiding proper use of the site during the Covid-19 pandemic,

Tree Identification Book from the Arbor Day Foundation

Helps People Identify Tree Species

The Arbor Day Foundation has a book that helps people

identify trees in a simple, step-by-step process. The book,

What Tree Is That?, is available for a $5 donation to the nonprofit

tree-planting organization.

What Tree Is That? is a fun, easy-to-use tree identification

guide that features hand-drawn botanical illustrations highlighting

the distinctive characteristics of many tree species.

Nature lovers and professional arborists alike have called

this pocket field guide a must-have, user-friendly resource. Its

beautiful, full-color illustrations are in precise detail and

depict natural colors, shapes and textures so users can make a

positive species identification in a few steps.

The Arbor Day Foundation offers this book to help people

identify trees throughout the Eastern and Central regions of

the United States. What Tree Is That? uses a unique step-bystep

approach for identifying the species of each tree, explaining

Vermont’s Moose Hunt Auction is Open

Vermont’s auction for three moose hunting permits is open

until 4:30 p.m. August 12. Bids will be opened and winners

notified on August 13.

The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board authorized a total of

55 permits for the 2020 moose season. Auction winners of

three of those permits will hunt in Wildlife Management Unit

E in the northeast corner of the state during the October 1-7

archery season, or in the October 17-22 regular season.

Bids must be entered with a sealed bid form available from

Vermont Fish and Wildlife.

A minimum bid of $1,500 is required, and winning bids

have typically been at least $4,000 when the number of permits

available were higher. Bids do not include the cost of a

hunting license (residents $28, nonresidents $102) or moose

hunting permit fee ($100 for residents and $350 for nonresidents).

Moose permit bid packets can be obtained by calling Fish

and Wildlife at 802-828-1190 or by emailing (Cheri.Waters@

considerations:

• Provide a variety of vibrant flowers and native plants to attract

pollinators to your yard and garden.

• Learn to live with wildflowers and weeds growing in your yard

and fields. Pollinators prefer a variety in their habitat, even if it

looks untidy to humans.

• Keep an eye out for bare patches of lawn where ground-nesting

bees may make their home.

• Use pesticide alternatives such as pollinator-friendly barriers

to keep unwanted pests off your plants.

• Avoid using insecticides (especially those that contain neonicotinoids

such as imidacloprid, thiamethoxam, clothianidin).

• Reduce the amount of property that is mowed, mow less often,

and consider leaving fields un-mowed until October when most

pollinators have finished their pollinating activities.

You can also ensure the viability of Vermont’s pollinators

by contributing to our habitat conservation projects though the

Vermont Habitat Stamp program: https://vtfishandwildlife.

Proceeds from the moose hunting permit auction help fund

Vermont Fish and Wildlife educational programs.

“Moose density in WMU E, where the hunt will occur, is

more than one moose per square mile, significantly higher

than any other part of the state,” said Nick Fortin, Vermont

Fish and Wildlife’s biologist in charge of the moose project.

“Moose densities greater than one per square mile support

high numbers of winter ticks which negatively impact moose

health and survival.”

“Research has shown that lower moose densities, like in the

rest of Vermont, support relatively few winter ticks that do not

impact moose populations,” said Fortin. “Reducing moose

density decreases the number of available hosts which in turn

decreases the number of winter ticks on the landscape. The

goal is to improve the health of moose in WMU E by reducing

the impact of winter ticks.”

Muzzleloader Antlerless Deer

Permit Applications Available

Vermont’s muzzleloader season antlerless deer permit

applications are now available on Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s

website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com). A link to the information

and online applications is on the home page.

The Fish and Wildlife Board met on May 20 and set antlerless

deer permit numbers for the fall deer hunting seasons.

Hunting for antlerless deer will be allowed statewide during

the archery season. One deer of either sex will be allowed

during the October 24-25 youth and novice weekend hunt.

The muzzleloader seasons on October 29 - November 1 and

December 5-13 will have antlerless permits available for 19 of

Vermont’s 21 Wildlife Management Units.

Landowners who post their land may not apply for a landowner

priority muzzleloader antlerless deer permit. They are

eligible to apply in the regular lottery for an antlerless deer

permit.

“Yearling antler beam diameters, fawn weights and other

physical condition measures are declining or are below optimal

levels in many areas, indicating that deer have exceeded

the level their habitat can support long-term,” said Nick

Fortin, Fish and Wildlife’s deer project leader. “Minimal

population growth is expected in 2020, however, deer populations

in 10 WMUs will be above their respective population

objectives. The goal is to reduce deer populations in those

areas while stabilizing populations in other areas.”

The deadline to apply for a muzzleloader antlerless deer

permit is August 12.

May the most Sacred Heart

of Jesus be adored,

glorified, loved and

preserved throughout the

world, now and forever.

Sacred Heart of Jesus, pray

for us. St. Jude, worker of

miracles, pray for us.

Say this prayer nine times a

day. By the eighth day your

prayer will be answered. It

has never been known to

fail. Publication must be

promised. My prayers have

been answered.

S.J.G.

Thank you, St. Jude.

My prayers have been

answered again.

PET OF THE WEEK

BUGS

Bugs is a happy bunny who can't wait

to find a place to call home. For his

age, he enjoys to hop around and

explore his environment. He seeks

attention and loves a good scratching

between the ears. Like all bunnies, he

likes to keep all his paws on the floor.

Governor Phil Scott and DMV Announce Restart Plan

for Driver’s License Services, Learner’s Permit Tests

Governor Phil Scott and the Department of

Motor Vehicles (DMV) announced a restart

plan for resuming driver’s license tests and a

new service for Vermonters to receive their

learner’s permit online as the state begins

limited resumption of services paused due to

COVID-19.

“As operations and services come back

online, the DMV has found new ways to serve

Vermonters and will continue to innovate,”

Governor Scott. “I’m grateful for Vermonters’

patience as we adapt to new health and safety

measures, especially young drivers who are

eager to get on the road.”

Vermonters can take the learner’s permit

test online at the DMV website, dmv.vermont.

gov. Those who pass will receive their learner’s

permit in the mail within three weeks.

This new online test is for a standard learner’s

permit only and does not include motorcycles

or commercial vehicles.

Additionally, the DMV will resume offering

driver’s license examinations next Monday,

June 8. Customers who had a driving exam

cancelled due to COVID-19 during March or

April will be contacted by the DMV to

reschedule their exam.

Beginning June 3, customers who did not

have a previously scheduled appointment

may call and schedule a road test. To schedule

operator and junior operator licenses.

Students who pass the driving exam will be

issued a temporary license, and a permanent

license will be mailed to them within 90 days.

In order to administer driving tests, some

DMV branch offices will reopen. Starting

June 8, the Montpelier DMV will be open

weekdays from 8 a.m.-4 p.m. for driver exams

only by appointment only. The South

Burlington and Rutland DMV branch offices

will also be open weekdays from 8 a.m.-4 p.m.

will leave with a temporary paper license, and

a permanent license will be mailed to them

within 10 business days.

COVID-related safety precautions will be

in place for all driving exams. All in-person

applicants will check in with the examiner

and then wait in their vehicle prior to the

exam. Applicants will be asked to sanitize

their vehicle before the exam and leave windows

open when possible to increase airflow.

No more than two people may occupy

a vehicle during a road exam, and both the

applicant and the examiner must wear

appropriate face coverings. Customers

should not bring a guest into any location to

maintain physical distancing. If a guest is

essential, such as a parent, caregiver or

translator, customers must specify that when

making their appointment.

AOT Seeks Public Comment on Automated Vehicle

Testing Permit Guidance and Application

The Vermont Agency of Transportation

(AOT) is seeking comments on the draft of

the Automated Vehicle Testing Permit

Guidance and Application. The document

outlines the process to approve the testing of

automated vehicles, often referred to as selfdriving

cars, on public roads in Vermont in

accordance with the Automated Vehicle

Testing Act signed into law by Governor Scott

on June 14, 2019 (23 VSA Chapter 41).

This guide is intended for use by applicants

who are seeking a permit to test automated

vehicles on public roads in Vermont and for

municipalities that are considering allowing

testing on town highways under their jurisdiction.

It also serves as a guide to the Vermont

Traffic Committee, whose approval is

required for all automated vehicle test permits

in the state, in its deliberations over specific

permit applications.

The guide and information about automated

vehicles are available at the AOT website.

The Agency is requesting comments by

• • •

Tuesday, June 30, 2020. The comment period

may be extended, if requested, due to challenges

of the Covid-19 pandemic and state of

emergency. AOT staff will provide an overview

of the draft guidance and answer questions

during an online meeting on Friday,

June 19th from 1-3 p.m. Those interested in

participating in the on-line meeting must register

through the website or by calling

Katharine Otto at 802-917-3451.

AOT will post responses to comments and

a final draft on its website. The final draft will

be considered for adoption by the Vermont

Traffic Committee during a public meeting at

a date, time, and location to be determined.

Public comments may be submitted by mail

or email to:

How home design trends are

evolving for social distancing

COVID-19 has brought changes to everything, and home

design is no exception. Experts are expecting to see lasting

impacts on everything from the materials we use to the rooms

we prioritize. Check out these and other noteworthy trends:

Houses over apartments: Many people who live in condos

or apartments do so to be closer to the action — work, entertainment

and shops — and never planned on spending much

time at home. But the pandemic has changed that, and more

people are going to want a home that offers plenty of room and

outdoor space in case they need to self-isolate again.

elfiien A hard lesson we’ve learned is that things

and services we thought we could count on aren’t necessarily

a sure thing, so items that increase self-reliance will become

very popular. Expect to see more homes with sources of energy

like solar panels, sources of heat like fireplaces and stoves,

and even urban and indoor gardens that allow you to grow

your own produce.

tdoor liin Between playgrounds closing and parks

becoming overcrowded, many of us are turning to our balconies,

patios and backyards for fresh air and nature. This means

we’re going to be investing more in our outdoor spaces, with

functional kitchens, soothing water features, coy firepits,

and high-quality outdoor furniture to create a much-needed

escape.

elthier e Thanks to spending more time indoors

and reprioritizing our health, we’ll turn to design to help ensure

our homes are safe and healthy for our families. We’ll

see a rise in products like water filtration systems as well as

materials that improve indoor air quality. For new homes and

additions, alternatives to wood-framing like insulated concrete

forms from Nudura, which offer improved ventilation

for healthier indoor air quality and an environment that’s less

susceptible to mold, will be key.

oe ofie e Business experts are suggesting many

companies will see that working from home is not only possible

but offers tangible benefits, like saving money on office

space rent. With working from home on the rise, creating a

home office space that inspires productivity will be a maor

proect many of us tackle. uxury home office furniture that

feels chic and blends into your décor as well as ergonomic

chairs and desks will see a maor boost.

to nd lit With the hit to the economy, people

are going to be buying less, but what they do buy will be better

quality, while at the same time making an effort to support

American businesses. When it comes to design, trends will

shift to locally made furniture, custom-built homes and pieces

and materials that stand the test of time.
