Central Perks – “A Breath of Fresh Air
at The Berlin Mall”
Time never stops and neither does Ericka
Clark, owner/operator of the recently opened
50’s themed Central Perks Cafe in the center
of the Berlin Mall.
“We want to promote the simpler lifestyle
of the 50’s era – easy and fun,” says Ericka,
who also owns Treasures Unburied next door
to the cafe. To that extent she, and husband
Casey, retrofitted the available space near
Planet Fitness with soda fountain style counters
and stools and most importantly, the
inexpensive menu.
“We opened November 28 and had to work
around COVID,” relates Ericka, adding “I
couldn’t have done it without my family.”
Her father Allan, as well as herself, and
Tina (like a sister) take care of kitchen duties;
sister Tammy took on the task of overseeing
Treasures Unburied through the beginning of
April while Ericka was getting Central Perks
up and running. Now newcomer Rhi is stepping
in to help out. Sister Jacqueline helped
with pre-opening painting and décor set up,
and worked to get up and running for a few
weeks. Also, my Bestie spent a long night
painting the cafe making final touches on our
50’s décor. Husband Kasey is the “house carpenter”
and anything else that needs to be
done; son Harley helps wherever necessary;
and sister Jacqueline helps at whatever and
wherever needed. The list of helpers goes on.
Department of Labor Reinstitutes Work Search
Requirement for Unemployment Benefits
Beginning May 9, 2021
The Vermont Department of Labor
announced that the work search requirement
for unemployment claimants will be reinstated
beginning Sunday, May 9, 2021 for all claimants
in regular UI and specific claimants in the
Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA)
program. Claimants will be required to conduct
three qualified job contacts for each week they
claim unemployment insurance.
Vermont’s work search requirement has
been suspended since the start of the pandemic
in order to ensure the health and safety
of the Vermont workforce and business community.
In addition to the suspension of the
work search requirement, the legislature took
action to expand eligibility requirements for
claimants and provide relief to employers
throughout the duration of the State of
Emergency. Those protections still exist today
• • •
Ericka uses local products whenever possible.
She features 802 Coffee blends (hot or
cold) which are very popular with her customers
as are the tea choices.
Mall shoppers and businesses love Ericka’s
many large cookie choices, Italian cream soda
and floats, muffins and bakery goods, deli
and breakfast sandwiches and subs, burgers
and hot dogs, chili and a “soup of the day”
(small $3.95, large $4.95).
Breads include croissants, wraps, bagels,
6” and 12” sub rolls, Dave’s Killer 12-grain
and Udis gluten-free bread.
Central Perks is open Mon-Sat 10-6;
Sunday 11-5. For more information, or to
order for takeout, call 802-225-6435.
Happening now! Live Music 1-3pm on
Sundays. “We have something for everyone.
New menu items and products offered
weekly.”
and will play a role in the modified work
search requirement.
“Employers have been struggling to find
workers and we know there are thousands of
jobs available across the state, offering very
competitive wages. With over 20,000 individuals
collecting regular unemployment, we
are hopeful that reinstating the work search
will encourage claimants to take advantage of
the job opportunities available in Vermont,”
said Labor Commissioner Michael
Harrington.
Specific information on the work search
requirement can be found online at labor.vermont.gov.
The Department will be hosting
Virtual Town Hall events for claimants to
learn more about work search, as well as programs
and resources to help Vermonters with
reemployment.

Hannaford to Carry Clown Shoes’
Circle of Heroes – Limited-Edition Beers
Celebrating Everyday Heroes
Three Hannaford associates will be highlighted
in different editions of the beer with
contributions to their charity of choice
Grocery associates are among the many
front-line workers who have been heroic during
the pandemic, being there for our communities
every day, making sure people have
access to the food and medicine they need. To
highlight that work, Clown Shoes of Boston,
Mass. has created a tribute product: Circle of
Heroes, a limited-edition beer that celebrates
the workers who have been there for us
throughout COVID-19.
Circle of Heroes will be released as three
limited-edition offerings this year, each with
a different recipe to highlight a different Hannaford
associate. The first edition, hitting
stores May 1, will celebrate Dennis Walker, a

Cheers and thank you from the Clown Shoes
Beer team!” said Dan Lipke, Head Brewer for
Clown Shoes.
Hannaford Category Manager Melanie
Daigle and her fianc, att Charette, are amateur
home brewers and created the recipe for
this special release. Circle of Heroes is a hazy
IPA brewed with Mosaic and Lemondrop
hops. Pale in color with an aroma bursting
with citrus and juicy melon, this 7% abv brew
has a full hoppy body with a creamy finish
from oats and wheat malt.
“We have been home brewing and creating
new recipes for the past 10 years. We love to
try using different hop varieties, and the Lemondrop
hop has been one of our favorites. It
has been a dream come true to have a recipe
we created brewed by Clown Shoes, as we
have always enjoyed their IPAs,” said Daigle.
With each of the three editions of Circle
of Heroes, the highlighted associate will be
donating a total of $6,000 to their charity of
choice – $3,000 donated from Clown Shoes
and $3,000 donated from Hannaford. Walker
selected the Travis Mills Foundation, which
helps support recalibrated veterans and their
families through long-term programs that
help these heroic men and women overcome
physical obstacles, strengthen their families,
and provide well-deserved rest and relaxation.

Vermont’s Food & Beverage Producers Connect
with Buyers through Virtual Tastings
Vermont’s food producers and retailers are,
once again, partnering to bring delicious value-added
foods to stores near you. As a result
of COVID-19, many in-person events cancelled
through 2021, the Vermont Specialty
Food Association (VSFA) and the Vermont
Retail and Grocers Association (VRGA) continue
their virtual tastings series to promote
Vermont brands to Vermont stores and wholesalers.
The 2021 Virtual Tasting Series invites
some of Vermont’s best specialty food and
beverage producers (think maple, chocolate,
jams, coffee, pickles, snacks, and everything
in between) to pitch to wholesale buyers of all
shapes and sizes.
How does it work?
• Producers send products and sales information
to buyers ahead of the tasting.
• Participants join the live virtual event: Producers
pitch their brand and buyers learn
about their products and the stories behind the
recipes.
• Buyers will taste and handle the product in
the comfort of their office. During the live
tasting buyers will have the opportunity to
ask questions.
• Connections are made and follow-ups will
be encouraged.
With two virtual tasting under their belt,
VSFA and VRGA are gearing up for their
third installment on Thursday, May 27th, see
participating producers below. Interested parties
will need to fill out the application and
submit it to VSFA as soon as possible. Buyers
and producers are encouraged to apply for
all tastings here: bit.ly/VSFAVirtualTasting.
Tastings are capped at six producers and ten
buyers they will fill fast. Any additional applicants
once a tasting is filled will be kept
on a waiting list, so don’t hesitate to apply if
you’re interested.
Participating food producers must be a
member of the Vermont Specialty Food Association.
To become a member, visit vtspecialtyfoods.org/become-a-member.
Buyers who
are not VRGA members will be charged $50
to gain access to tastings. This registration fee
can be allocated toward VRGA membership
dues if you join within three months of the
tasting.
Upcoming Virtual Tastings:
• May 27th, 2021 - 10 a.m.-11 a.m. - Seeking
Buyers
Featuring Producers: Battenkill Wholesome
Foods, Cary & Main Co. (website coming

Vermont’s Covid
Emergency Mortgage
Assistance Program
Re-Opens
The Vermont program that helps homeowners who have
fallen behind on their mortgage or property taxes during the
COVID-19 pandemic will re-open on Monday, May 3, 2021.
The Mortgage Assistance Program, will provide grants covering
up to 12 months of past due mortgage payments and
property taxes for eligible homeowners.
Funded through the federal CARES Act, the program operated
first in July through December 2020, providing 636
Vermont households with grants averaging $6,000. With average
monthly mortgage payments of $1,200, most of these
households owed three months or more of payments and the
majority were in a forbearance.
The program is administered by Vermont Housing Finance
Agency (VHFA) but is open to all eligible homeowners
regardless of loan servicer.
A homeowner in forbearance can pause or reduce their
mortgage payments for a limited period agreed to by the mortgage
servicer, which helps avoid immediate foreclosure.
However, forbearance does not erase the amount the homeowner
ultimately owes and sometimes the repayment requirements
may leave the home unaffordable. By providing grants
on the homeowner’s behalf to the loan servicer for missed
payments, the Mortgage Assistance Program lowers the balance
the homeowner owes.
“We are relieved to be resuming these grants for the many
Vermont homeowners who continue to face economic hardship
in this pandemic,” remarked Maura Collins, VHFA’s
Executive Director. “We have already heard from homeowners
concerned about paying back their forbearance balances
and are glad this program can offer them a path toward housing
and financial stability.”
Some applicants who needed mortgage assistance in 2020
were unable to work because they were caring for immunecompromised
children at home. With vaccines limited to
people aged 16 and up, the need for some workers to stay
home is unlikely to change soon.
“I’m doing everything I can to support my family, but I
have no idea when it will be safe for me return to work,”
explained Kimberly Edgars, a nurse who left her job to care
for her children, one of whom has special needs and is at high
risk of complications. “So many people are dealing with situations
like mine right now and I think this program can make
a huge difference for lots of families.”
Vermont’s economy continues to struggle in many sectors,
contributing to an extended need for mortgage assistance. The
number of jobs in Vermont declined by a dramatic 7.6%
between March 2020 and March 2021 — more than any other
New England state. This level of job loss is the highest on
record in Vermont and is hitting the leisure and hospitability
sector most severely. Leisure and hospitality jobs in Vermont
fell by 12,300 jobs, or 34%, in 2020.
Vermonters’ employment losses are reflected in missed
mortgage payments, which have doubled over the course of
the pandemic. Nearly 4.7% of all Vermont mortgages were
seriously delinquent at the end of 2020, compared to just 2.2%
at the end of 2019, according to the Mortgage Bankers
Association. Although a state foreclosure moratorium remains
in place through at least mid-June, its eventual expiration and
reduction of federal benefits will leave many Vermonters at
risk of losing their homes.
The Mortgage Assistance Program will be available to eligible
homeowners who have missed at least one payment
since March 2020 regardless of whether they are in forbearance.
Eligibility requirements and application instructions
are available on VHFA’s website at www.vhfa.org/map.
Mortgage and property tax payments will be made directly
to the servicer of the mortgage or the town in which the
home is located.
VHFA is a non-profit agency created in 1974 by the
Vermont Legislature to finance and promote affordable housing
opportunities for low- and moderate-income Vermonters.
Since its inception, the Agency has helped approximately
29,000 Vermont households with affordable mortgages and
financed the development of approximately 8,800 affordable
rental apartments.

Vermont Everyone Eats Recognizes
One Million Meals Served
Governor Phil Scott announced Vermont
Everyone Eats, an innovative COVID-19
response program, is marking one million
restaurant meals served to Vermonters experiencing
food insecurity.
The program was launched in August 2020
to leverage Vermont’s independent restaurants
and robust local food system to help
feed families and Vermonters in need. Over
200 Vermont restaurants have contributed to
the one million meals, which have contained
nearly $1 million of Vermont-produced ingredients.
“It’s been a tough year for everyone, but
there have been many bright spots as Vermonters
have come together to help their
neighbors and strengthen their communities.
The milestone we’re celebrating today is one
of those examples,” said Governor Scott.
“This program shows the incredible success
of Vermont Everyone Eats - a program that
brought together many across state agencies,
private businesses and public offices, and
across the areas of food security, economic
development and agriculture. I want to thank
all involved, including the cooks and restaurants
workers who helped put meals on the
table through these dark months. We look forward
to ongoing partnerships as we work to
move Vermont forward.”
The program has been led by a series of
cross-sector, public-private partnerships, including
14 community “hubs” on the ground
in all 14 Vermont counties. These hubs represent
hundreds of community organizations
who are working together to contract meals
from participating restaurants, manage delivery
logistics, promote the program, and
ensure the meals are delivered safely to meal
recipients. It launched with $5 million from
the state’s Coronavirus Relief Fund and has
continued with additional funding through
FEMA. The program, which is carried out
through a contract between the Agency of
Commerce and Community Development
and Southeastern Vermont Community Action
Agency (SEVCA), has been extended
through Vermont’s State of Emergency.
eflecting on the central role SVCA has
played in administering the program, Steve
Geller, its executive director, said, “What a
privilege it’s been to participate in Vermont
Everyone Eats and contribute to its success.
For almost 56 years, SEVCA has provided
critical assistance to Vermonters in need based
on the belief that people can be empowered
to rise out of poverty and that the strength of
our communities is measured by the quality of
life of everyone in them. In its unique multifaceted
approach, Vermont Everyone Eats has
captured our collective imagination by helping
individuals, restaurants, farmers, and local
economies, while building new and deeper
community connections. Our communities
are stronger now because of this program.”
Jean Hamilton, Vermont Everyone Eats
statewide coordinator sees this moment to
celebrate the collective action of the program:
“It is the people behind VEE that we are really
celebrating today. Who is your Everyone
Eats hero? Please join us in celebrating them
today.”

The Shot That Changed the World
Robert Kershaw, the local author of the
book, If I Die Before I Wake, A Caregivers
Journey, by (pen name) Eli Shaw, was one
of the first recipients of the olio Vaccine in
1954. Sixty seven years later this past march
he received his second Covid vaccine shot.

Statement of Lt. Governor Gray on the
American Families Plan
Lt. Governor Gray released the following
statement on President Biden’s unveiling of
the American Families Plan:
“This evening, I join in support of the
American Families Plan and express my
gratitude to President Joe Biden and Vice
President Kamala Harris for putting working
families at the forefront of their administration’s
priorities.
We know that women and working families
in Vermont have been hit hardest by this
pandemic. Women nationally continue to take
the lead in caring for loved ones and here in
Vermont have stepped up to care for families
and communities at great economic loss. Over
2.3 million American women left the workforce
over the last year, including a disproportionate
number of Vermont women, high
above the national average. We know women,
especially women of color, dominate caregiving
industries that often lack paid family and
medical leave and the option to work from
home.
What is more, as a state with an aging
population and persistent demographic crisis,
even before this pandemic many Vermonters
• • •
and divisive the world became when we found
out we were in a pandemic. Just like with the
AIDS pandemic, we had to blame someone
and like always we point to the most vulnerable
like the Gay community, Prostitutes and
drug addicts. Now more than forty years later
we are doing it again. We make it political and
a tool for power. Oh well, what else is new. I
am just glad we were able to create the vaccine
as uick as we did and thank all the first
responders, technicians and people who were
able to keep it together enough to get us to
where we are now. I do miss all the family
and friends I lost and pray for all my friends
and others who are on the long term road to
recovery. It is still such a mystery to us all and
I hope we all get to hug our loved ones soon.”
were caught in the middle–as the sandwich
generation–caring both for children and for
aging parents at the same time. On average,
Vermont families spend $20,000 a year on
child care.
The American Families Plan comes at a
critical moment for Vermont and our country.
The Plan offers support to low and middle income
families and ensures that no more than
seven percent of income goes to child care.
The Plan proposes a competitive, comprehensive
paid family and medical leave program.
It also proposes funding for free universal
pre-school, community college as well as
workforce development programs to help parents
remain in, or rejoin, the workforce.
The American Families Plan offers a historic
opportunity to alleviate the burden faced
by so many Vermonters, especially women, of
having to choose between work and caregiving
responsibilities.
I wholeheartedly support the American
Families Plan and I look forward to working
with our congressional delegation as well as
state and national leaders to grow support for
its passage and full implementation.”

Vermonters Step Up for Prescription Drug
Take Back Day, Set New Record
• • •
Great News! Prescription
Drug Take Back Day Was a
Huge Success!
Thank you to all who safely disposed of their old medications
and helped spread the word. The statewide grand total
weight collected was 7,165 pounds in 276 boxes. This is the
largest collection in Vermont since the DEA National Prescription
Drug Take Back Initiative began in September 2010!
In fact, we’ve come a long way since that first Take ack Day
event when 1,130 pounds were collected. Congratulations
to Washington County where an amazing total of 38 boxes
weighing 948 pounds made a big contribution to the state totals.
And it is not too late to still use the permanent drop boxes in
place. You can find them at the Washington County Sheriff’s
Office, ontpelier olice Department, arre City and arre
Town olice Departments, Northfield and erlin olice Departments,
Central Vermont edical Center main lobby, and
inney Drugs on the arre-ontpelier oad and in Waterbury.

prescription-drug-disposal
Local law enforcement, Vermont Department of Health,
and Central Vermont New Directions Coalition appreciate the
efforts and thank you for doing your part.
Vermonters participated in the nationwide Prescription
Drug Take Back Day this past Saturday, turning in more than
3.5 tons of unused, unwanted and expired medication at over
55 collection sites throughout the state. The 7,165 pounds of
collected medication sets a record for Drug Take Back Day in
Vermont, exceeding the previous record of 6,734 pounds collected
in October 2019.
“As we continue to work to prevent substance misuse in
Vermont, we know having unused prescriptions in the medicine
cabinets at homes is a risk, which is why Drug Take Back
Days and our ongoing collection efforts are so important,”
said Governor Phil Scott. “I greatly appreciate the Vermonters
who contributed to this successful collection day on Saturday
– it will make a difference in our prevention work.”
Take Back Day is organized in partnership with the Vermont
Health Department, the Department of Public Safety,
local and state law enforcement agencies and the U.S. Drug
Enforcement Administration (DEA). This twice-yearly event
provides a safe, convenient and responsible way to dispose
of prescription and over-the-counter medications, while educating
about the potential for medication misuse, accidental
ingestion and overdose. Communities across the state hosted
collection sites, which were staffed by local and state police
and county sheriff departments, and the collected medications
were securely transported out of state and incinerated.
“Law Enforcement agencies recognize the importance of
collaborating with the Department of Health as well as other
support partners in the ongoing struggle to keep prescription
drugs from being diverted,” said Lamoille County Sheriff
oger arcoux. I have watched substance use disorder
destroy families and overwhelm communities for 41 years.
Enforcement alone is not the key, and every Vermonter must
realize they can play a part in changing the scenario. Properly
discarding unused drugs can, and has, saved lives. Thank you
to all who have participated and to the law enforcement agencies
who support the drug take back program.”
National data shows misused prescription drugs were most
often obtained through family and friends with unused prescriptions.
edications that are not properly stored can pose
a risk to the health of children and pets who might accidentally
ingest them. Flushing medications, or tossing them in the
trash, can also endanger our waterways and wildlife. The DEA
estimates that about 10% of the medication collected on Take
Back Day are opioids.
Health Commissioner ark evine, D said more than
half of the people who misuse prescription medication get it
from a friend or relative, often straight out of the medicine
cabinet. Which is why timely, safe disposal of unused and
unwanted medications makes a huge difference in preventing
misuse and diversion. Dr. Levine emphasized that the CO-
VID-19 pandemic has created unique challenges for people.
“For our friends and loved ones suffering from a substance use
disorder, and the many Vermonters on whom the stress of the
pandemic has taken an emotional toll, it’s important that help
includes preventing easy access to prescription and over-thecounter
drugs – especially prescription painkillers,” said Dr.
Levine. “Let’s make Take Back Day every day.”
Saturday’s event marked the 20th National Take Back Day,
and the 11th here in Vermont. Since Vermont began its participation,
the state has collected more than 56,000 pounds of
unused medications.
If you missed Take Back Day, the Health Department coordinates
a system of permanent prescription drug disposal
sites, such as at pharmacies and police stations where disposal
boxes or kiosks are open to the community year-round.
To find a permanent drug disposal site near you, visit
healthvermont.gov/drugtakeback or dial 2-1-1.

use, visit VTHelplink.org for support and referral services.

‘Let’s Go Fishing’ Program Seeks Instructors
Vermont Fish and Wildlife is seeking volunteers to become
‘Let’s Go Fishing’ instructors to pass on Vermont’s fishing
tradition to the next generation of Vermonters.
The course will take place in a hybrid format. On May 20
instructors will participate virtually from 6:00 to 8:30 p.m.
On May 21, the group will meet at the Buck Lake Conservation
Camp in Woodbury for an in-person session from 5:30 to 8:30
p.m. Instructors must attend both sessions.
Instructors in the ‘Let’s Go Fishing’ program organize and
instruct clinics in their communities for Vermonters of all
ages. Participants in the training workshop will learn how to
teach a basic fishing clinic, as well as learn about regulations
and ethics, aquatic ecology, fisheries management, habitat
conservation and tackle craft. They will also be introduced to
conducting specialized fishing clinics, including clinics on ice
fishing and species-specific fishing. The class is informal,
and it is not necessary to have a high level of fishing expertise
to become an instructor.
“This is an excellent opportunity for people passionate
about fishing to share their love of the sport with others. It is
also an excellent resource for educators seeking to bring
• • •
important topics such as aquatic ecology and habitat management
into their classroom through hands-on activities,” said
Fish and Wildlife’s Corey Hart.
There is no charge for the training, and all curriculum materials
will be provided. Educators looking to earn one graduate
level credit through Castleton University may participate on
the training through a course titled Experiential Education in
Aquatic Ecology & Habitat Conservation. The Castleton
University course takes place the same days and time but
includes additional work.
Pre-registration is required, and you must be 18 years of
age to participate. Those interested can register online at
https://vtfishandwildlife.com/node/232 or by emailing letsgofishing@vermont.gov.
Once completed, pending a background check, attendees
will become certified instructors and have access to program
equipment and resources for their programs.
COVID-19 guidelines must be followed by all participants
including wearing face coverings throughout the course.
More information on protocol for the course participants will
be shared upon registering.

can help Vermont’s youth to re-engage, connect, learn and
heal,” stated Vermont Afterschool Executive Director Holly
Morehouse.
Administered by Vermont Afterschool, the Summer Matters
for All Grants are funded by the federal American Rescue
Plan that was signed into law in March 2021.

Vermont Outdoors Adds Features to Fish & Wildlife Dept. Mobile App
Last fall the Fish and Wildlife Department developed a new
mobile application to help people recreate outdoors in a safe
and socially distanced manner. The app, Vermont Outdoors,
connects the public with department lands, fish and wildlife
regulations as well as up-to-date COVID guidance.
Recent additions to the app include a variety of maps that
allow you to obtain locations and driving directions to Fish
and Wildlife Department points of interest, including boat
ramps and fishing locations, big game reporting stations, fish
stocking locations, and shooting ranges. App users can now
submit reports to the department as well. These include nuisance
black bears reports, master angler submissions and
suspected fish and wildlife violations with Operation Game
Thief.
Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, participation
in outdoor recreational activities has exploded. With the

populations;
• Elimination of barriers to summer program access based on
geography, socio-economic factors, demographics.
The competitive grant process will prioritize programs that
increase access by addressing affordability for K-12 children
and youth and their families; expanding programming in parts
of the state where few or no options are currently available;
expanding access by increasing program slots and/or duration
or programming; ensuring access for underserved populations;
and providing additional resources so that students with
disabilities and/or special needs are able to fully participate
in programs.
“We know that summer and youth-serving programs are an
integral part of COVID recovery efforts,” stated Morehouse.
“It’s about building a stronger support system and working
together to expand opportunities for youth to thrive.”
Non-profit organizations municipalities licensedregulated
providers of school age childcare; privately or publicly owned
summer camp programs are all eligible to apply. Programs can
apply one-time grants of $20,000-$75,000 and applications
are due on May 5, 2021. To learn more about the grant, visit

form by mail, call Peggy Manahan at (800) 639-2130.
A judging committee consisting of previous award winners
will visit farms in early summer to evaluate each on its total
farm management, herd, pasture quality, conservation and
environmental practices, among other criteria. The committee
also will consider community service, including activities
promoting the dairy industry and participation in agricultural
organizations.
The New England Green Pastures Program began in 1947
as a way to publicly acknowledge farms with the “greenest
pastures” in the region. Today it sponsors the Vermont Dairy
Farm of the Year award along with similar awards programs
in the other five New England states. In 1961 selection of a
regional winner was eliminated with each state recognizing its
own outstanding dairy enterprise instead.
Fish and Wildlife’s 100 wildlife management areas (WMA)
and nearly 200 fishing access areas, this app will help new
and existing recreationalists find opportunities to hunt, fish,
trap, boat, or view wildlife on public lands and waters. They
will have easy access to fish and wildlife laws, department
news and current events, and a variety of fish and wildlife
observations.
This project was paid for with COVID stimulus funds
(CARES Act) to enhance outdoor recreation opportunities.
Other CARES funded projects included improvements to boat
ramps and other water access points, WMA roads, parking
areas, and informational signage.
The app can be downloaded at the Apple App Store for
iPhones or Google Play for Android phones.

Louis W. Cherry
Family and friends mourn the
loss of Lou Cherry, 83, a former
resident of Calais, Vt., who died on
April 4, 2021, of pancreatic cancer in
Asheville, N.C. Born in 1937 in New
York City to Hungarian immigrants, Lou
treasured his heritage, particularly its
culinary traditions. Along with his service
in the National Guard as a cook, he
also relished cooking vast quantities of
paprikash and goulash for his family and friends. While a
student at Earlham College, Lou studied in Mexico and
became fluent in Spanish. He earned his master’s from
Rutgers University and had a long career as a social worker at
Pilgrim Psychiatric Center on Long Island, New York. Lou
was also an assistant professor at Stony Brook’s School of
Social Welfare.
After some years of personal struggle, Lou relocated to
Vermont, where he reunited with his long-lost sister, Eleanor
Kokar Ott of Calais, a connection that enriched both their
lives immensely. He was a committed member of the
Unitarian Church both on Long Island and in Montpelier,
Vermont. With his quiet sense of purpose and wry sense of
humor, Lou quickly found productive ways to engage with the
Central Vermont community and beyond. He had an infectious
laugh deeply enjoyed by the community. Lou volunteered
as the administrative director of ProPapa Missions
America, which helps the poor in Honduras, served as the
office manager for FoodWorks, the former Montpelier nonprofit,
and was active in the Central Vermont Refugee Action
Network. He is fondly remembered by the Adamant Co-op
community for his enthusiastic participation in their summer
cookouts and for the many hamburgers he flipped and chicken
pot pies he helped produce.
In 2017 Lou completed a week of solo camping and fasting
sponsored by the Central Vermont Community Quest—Men’s
Circle. As the oldest man to complete the quest, he later
coached younger participants, sharing deep wisdom gained
from a rich and productive life. In addition to his sister
Eleanor, Lou is survived by his wife Arlene of Asheville, his
daughter Catherine (Louis) DiGiulio of Smithtown, N.Y, his
son Eric (Linda Rose) of Mansfield, Mass., his sister Julia
Davie of Buckhead, Ga., and three grandchildren: Jennifer
(Jon) Calabria, Nicholas DiGiulio, and Lisa DiGiulio.
A memorial service is being planned for early summer.
Honoring his lifelong generosity, the Lou Cherry Starr Island
Fund will provide a summer camp scholarship for a deserving
child. Checks to the fund in memory of Lou may be written
to the Unitarian Church of Montpelier, 130 Main Street,
Montpelier, VT 05602. Please specify that your contribution
is for the Lou Cherry Starr Island Fund.

skiing on Mt. Ascutney, where her father designed and cut the
trails and was the first to make snow in Vermont. Her love of
skiing endured throughout her life, including this past season;
she took special pleasure in skiing with her four grandchildren.
Shortly after earning a degree in nursing from the
University of Vermont, Charlotte married her high school
sweetheart Thomas MacLeay on June 5, 1971. They moved to
Denver where she followed in her mother’s footsteps, practicing
nursing in a hospital setting, and then on to Phoenix,
where she enjoyed her work as a public health nurse. After a
stint in New Jersey, Charlotte and Tom returned to Vermont
and settled in East Montpelier, where they raised their son
David and daughter Kate.
With young children at home, Charlotte also started a business
as a childbirth educator, a relatively new field at the time.
She went on to lead the formation of a statewide professional
organization for childbirth educators, and enjoyed the role
she played in the births of hundreds of babies in Central
Vermont.
As her children grew, Charlotte shifted careers and became
a school librarian at the Rumney School in Middlesex,
Vermont, where her work schedule aligned better with her
duties as a mom. An avid reader, she loved researching and
selecting the latest titles for the library and sharing her passion
for reading with the young students.
Charlotte was always active in the community. She volunteered
as a Vermont State House tour guide and served on the
board of Friends of the State House. She loved introducing
her beloved Vermont to visitors from around the world and
teaching school groups about the state’s history. She also had
a long affiliation with Central Vermont Home Health and
Hospice, volunteering in various roles over the years and
serving on the board of directors for several terms. In recent
years she participated on the UVM College of Nursing and
Health Sciences Advisory Board. All of these activities, and
others, gave Charlotte a great deal of satisfaction and the joy
of working alongside many friends and colleagues.
Charlotte loved to travel and particularly liked planning
and organizing trips with friends and family. Whether it was
a domestic golf trip, a barge tour in France, walking trips in
Italy, adventures with grandkids in Scotland and France, or
meandering around Europe’s less traveled regions with Tom,
Charlotte joyfully attended to all the details and then revealed
in the actual journey.
Charlotte also loved time spent at home with family. She
was, above all else, a loving mother, grandmother, and
spouse. As her health began to fail, her biggest disappointment
was that “Mimi”, as she was known to her grandchildren,
would not continue to be part of their lives. She cherished
the experiences she shared with each of them.
Charlotte was predeceased by her parents, Robert and
Loree Ely, and by her brother, John Ely, and by her brotherin-law
William MacLeay. She is survived by her husband
Tom, son David and his wife Alicia, daughter Kate Crespo
and her husband Joe, grandchildren Burke, Adelle, Amelia
and Cooper, brother Eugene Ely and his partner Lori Keenan,
sisters-in-law Bunny Ely, Sandy Bechtel, and Maggie
MacLeay, and brothers-in-law Rick MacLeay and Hank
Bechtel and numerous nieces and nephews.
The family would like to thank Charlotte’s many friends
who filled her life with joy, laughter, and comfort; her amazing
in-home caregivers, who became true friends; the incredibly
caring staff at the McClure Miller Respite House; and
especially the team at The Arbors, where Charlotte spent her
most difficult months in the embrace of an exceptional group
of remarkable people.
A celebration of Charlotte’s life will be planned for later in
the year when it is safe to gather.
In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions may be directed
to Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice (cvhhh.org) or

Low-back pain is a high-pain problem, sending folks of all
ages to the doctor. In fact, it is the No. 2 reason for doctor’s
office visits in the U.S. – and numero uno for orthopedic visits.
Some studies show it affects around 13% of U.S. adults
ages 20 to 69 at any given time.
Ninety percent of the time, low-back pain is acute – meaning
it lasts for a few days or weeks. But it recurs over and over.
According to the Institute for Neurological Disorders and
Strokes: “Chronic back pain is defined as pain that continues
for 12 weeks or longer, even after an initial injury or underlying
cause of acute low back pain has been treated. About 20%
of people affected by acute low back pain develop chronic
low-back pain with persistent symptoms at one year. Even if
pain persists, it does not always mean there is a medically serious
underlying cause or one that can be easily identified and
treated. In some cases, treatment successfully relieves chronic
low-back pain, but in other cases pain continues despite
medical and surgical treatment.”
There are all kinds of environmental reasons for low-back
pain, including stress, depression and actual injury to muscles
or bones (that is a far less common reason). But all of those
triggers may be able to cause serious distress because you
have an underlying health challenge, chronic inflammation
fueled by lousy nutrition. You are what you eat, and you hurt
because of what you eat.
A new study presented at a recent Association of Academic
Physiatrists annual meeting shows that eating inflammatory
foods increases the risk of lower-back pain. The researchers
from the University of Pittsburgh used the Dietary
Inflammation Index to evaluate the food intake of folks

Low-back pain eating at you? Your diet could be the problem
BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.
reporting low-back pain. The DII says the main food felons
associated with low-back pain are saturated and trans fats,
dairy, cholesterol-containing foods (red and processed meats,
eggs, poultry skin) and processed carbs.
The DII also identifies ingredients that are most antiinflammatory:
They include turmeric, garlic, ginger, green
and black teas, and food loaded with flavanols, such as onions,
kale, grapes, red wine, peaches, berries, tomatoes and broccoli,
as well as omega-3 fatty acids (that’s DHA, ALA, etc.)
and fiber.
Wouldn’t it be wonderful to eat your way out of pain by
enjoying great-tasting foods? We suspect that it’s not just lowback
pain that responds positively to an anti-inflammatory
diet. You may see an easing of arthritis or joint discomfort,
fewer headaches and less neck or jaw pain. Studies also show
that ditching an inflammatory diet has long-term benefits,
reducing the risk for diabetes complications, some cancers
and heart disease.
After sticking with this diet for three months, ask your doc
for a blood test to check your CRP inflammation level. But we
suspect you will already know you’re healthier -- much fewer
aches and pain!

What Will It Take to End Homelessness?
Although the answers to the question posed above might
appear to be rather complicated as well as varied, it essentially
depends upon who one bothers to ask and then carefully
listen to.
If there is ever to be any real sense of hope to find an
answer to the question of what it will take to end homelessness,
one must be willing to explore more deeply (read: earnestly)
as well as honestly about what is actually behind the
root causes of homelessness.
Among the many root causes can be found age-old prejudice
and discrimination, classism, sexism, racism, economic
disparity, social inequity and injustice, enforced poverty,
domestic abuse and violence, as well as deliberate indifference
to all of the above and then some.
Why is it, as a society, do we essentially deny people without
certain means access to adequate housing as well as other
basic human needs and, on a personal basis, shun them when
our paths cross or otherwise avoid contact with them altogether?
On Racism
No human being has a natural aversion to another human
being that doesn’t look like him or her. One may be curious
about the differences, but certainly not innately hostile.
Whence, then, racism – an antagonistic response to a particular
race? Eliminating a natural basis for it, we are left with
social – or even systemic – causes. In our society racism
expresses itself primarily as a bias against people of color, the
extreme of that bias being the cult of white supremacists.
Again, if this bias is not natural, what are its socio, economic,
and political roots?
First, let’s acknowledge that we are a class-structured society,
the classes running from the rich minority to the desperately
impoverished. This structure engenders a constant
struggle for a share of the wealth a society produces – the rich
minority clinging to its gains and, through its wealth, commandeering
the political power to rebuff change, while the
majority struggles for redistribution. This was correctly
defined by Karl Marx as “class struggle” – both the notion
and the man being dismissed by wealthy advocates of a status
quo who constitute the power structure. But dismissal does
not necessarily alter the dynamics of history; a revolution is
afoot, and, as in all revolutions, it is being waged by today’s
most oppressed: people of color.
This struggle in ominous, since racism is rooted in the very
structure of our economic system; it serves the purpose of
• • •
• • •
In the end, it is up to all of us to help answer these and
related questions by educating both ourselves and each other
concerning these and related matters as well as becoming better
acquainted with those living unhoused whether in general
or on an individual basis if they are so inclined.
Unless and until we do these things, nothing will change
and the constant misery people living unhoused face on a
daily basis will go unchecked and unchanged.
We, as a society, can and must do better in these regards.
It is up to each of us to see that it happens, particularly
because elected officials as well as entrenched bureaucrats are
often unwilling to do anything real and meaningful about
these and other matters unless they are regularly informed
(i.e., having their feet constantly kept to the fire) about how it
should be an urgent priority to be addressed and that humane
action is required to be seriously undertaken in order to bring
about actual resolution.

eliminating a specific group from competition in accessing a
limited body of wealth – a competition that expresses itself,
among other ways, in the labor market where people of color
are paid the lowest wages. With racism playing an integral
role in supporting the prevailing economic system, it follows
that systemic change is the only path to eliminating it. And
indeed, premature attempts at a socialist society (i.e., a departure
from capitalism) had the express goal of ending class
differences inherent in capitalist structure – an elimination
that would carry with it an end to racism dependent upon
those differences.
Given this analysis, the foreseeable future does not portend
well for the demise of racism. Nonetheless, the Black
Revolution persists, and in its undoubtedly indomitable march
forward, inevitable resistance will be met with new positions–
one of which may be a socialist agenda that attacks the heart
of the class system supporting racism. It is hard to envision
any other solution to so systemically-rooted a problem – a
conclusion that Martin Luther King, Jr. eventually came to,
and which may have been the reason for his assassination.
While the wealthy ruling class may hypocritically preach
racial tolerance, it will not abide the systemic change required
to end racism.

Most everyone agrees that great paintings
and sculptures and cathedrals are fine art.
Some people don’t think that great cinema
is fine art, however. And that’s sad because it
means that they haven’t seen “2001: A Space
Odyssey.”
Like a Baroque painter, Stanley Kubrick
was a master of the visual arts. “2001” is a
masterpiece that is visually stunning but elegantly
simple.
In Act 1, a tribe of ape men come across a
black rectangular monolith outside their cave.
They recognize that it was put there by superior
beings and it inspires the tribe to use
bones as tools to kill their enemies.
Act 2: a couple of million years later, scientists
find an identical monolith buried on
the moon. They recognize that it is proof of
extra-terrestrial life.
In Act 3, a spaceship travels to Jupiter to
rendezvous with the aliens. Along the way,
the ship’s computer decides that humans can’t
be trusted with the mission and begins to kill
them all.
Stanley Kubrick observes that humans are
better at using our intelligence to kill than to
communicate. This is essentially the same
message as “Dr. Strangelove.”
What’s different about “2001” is the visual
imagination. More than 50 years on, these are
still the most amazing-looking special effects
in cinema history.
The spaceships are a sight to behold. Much
of the second act consists of long, slowmotion
scenes of astronauts experiencing
weightlessness with German classical music
playing on the soundtrack. Some viewers will
find it dull and pretentious. I find it beautiful.
The ape men scenes are nearly as impressive.
These days, the ape men would just be
computer effects. Kubrick used human actors
wearing realistic ape suits. These actors are
able to convey emotional complexity that a
CGI cartoon never will; the ape men are
simultaneously sophisticated humans and
savage animals.
The scene where an ape man looks up at
the alien monolith and sees the sun and sliver
of the moon is a splendid painting all by
itself. Without a word of dialogue, Kubrick
shows us that the ape man suddenly understands
that there are creatures or gods up
there that are greater than he can possibly
comprehend.
And that brings me to the monolith: possibly
Stanley Kubrick’s most brilliant creation.
In a movie about aliens, the filmmaker has
to show us the aliens, right? Kubrick decided
that a physical representation of the alien
culture’s intelligence would be more thoughtprovoking
than a skinny dwarf wearing a grey
costume.
Again, this was before computer effects, so
Kubrick had to make the monolith himself.
Using smooth black metal, the director elegantly
demonstrates that these Extra
Terrestrials have a culture that is clearly superior
to ours but also impossible for us to
comprehend.
For the record, I am not recommending that
you watch this film tonight. I think it is fantastically
enjoyable; you might find it boring
and inscrutable.
My point is that “2001: A Space Odyssey”
proves once and for all that cinema can be
fine art. It is a masterpiece on the same level
as Da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” Rodin’s
“The Thinker” or Hagia Sophia in Istanbul.

Spring Garden Planning
This spring, plan your best garden ever — or
maybe even your rst garden ever.
The first step to achieving a well-organized garden is
planning. Here’s what you need to know.
TALK WITH LOCAL EXPERTS
If this is your first time planning a garden, consult with
a regional garden-planting guide. You can find one at most
hardware stores or nurseries.
If you are a seasoned pro, you probably are already
familiar with the timing of your last frost, but you might find
some new information by checking with your local professionals.
SEEDS VS. SEEDLINGS
If you are ust starting out, seedlings are a safer option.
There is no need for you to nurture seeds from infancy when
you’re trying to get a handle on your gardening strategy.
If you prefer to grow your own, start your seeds inside
several weeks before your last frost date.
CREATE A WORKSHEET
This is where you decide what you want to plant, how
much of it you want to plant and which vegetables you want
to plant next to one another.
Tomatoes, peppers, zucchini suash and lettuce are good
vegetables for beginners. Don’t forget to contact your local
nursery to see what grows best in your area.
BEGINNERS: CHOOSING A PLOT
Choose a location on your property that receives a lot
of sun. Vegetables need at least six hours of direct sunlight
each day to grow properly. You also need a space with good,
loose soil.
If a large garden intimidates you, consider a raised bed.
You choose the size and even create a separate area for each
vegetable, only taking on what you want.
SKIPPING THE VEGGIES
You also could skip planting vegetables altogether and
stick with herbs. Not only are they great for seasonal cooking,
but they also smell fantastic and each has a uniue
beauty to it. lant in beds or in pots. The choice is yours.

SPRING HOME & GARDEN | THE WORLD
Stay safe when working in the yard
A day spent working in the yard is
an ideal way to pass the time on
spring and summer afternoons. A
pristine landscape can add value
to a property and instill pride
in homeowners who put a lot
of thought and effort into their
lawns and gardens.
A sun-soaked day can make it easy to overlook potential
threats when working in a lawn or garden. But safety
precautions are of the utmost necessity when working in the
yard, where the risk for serious injury is considerable. For
example, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons
reports that, in 2016, more than 90,000 patients, including
nearly 5,000 children, were treated in hospital emergency
rooms for lawn mower-related injuries.
Lawn- and garden-related injuries can be prevented without
going to great lengths.
• Know your terrain before mowing. Knowing the terrain in
your own yard can reduce the risk for accident or injury. This
can be especially important when mowing the lawn with a
riding mower. Adhere to manufacturers’ recommendations
regarding inclines to reduce tip-over accidents that can pin
riders beneath the mower. Study hilly areas of the yard prior
to mowing so you know which areas are safe to mow with a
riding mower and which areas are best mowed with a walkbehind
mower. For greater control when using a walk-behind
mower on an incline, mow parallel to the slope.
• Apply and reapply sunscreen. Sunburns may not require
trips to the emergency room, but they can still be serious.
In fact, the Skin Cancer Foundation notes that sunburn is a
leading cause in the majority of cases of basal cell carcinoma,
squamous cell carcinoma and melanoma, which is
the deadliest form of skin cancer. The SCF recommends
applying sunscreen 30 minutes before going outside to allow
the sunscreen to bond to your skin. Reapply sunscreen
at least every two hours, and more often if you’re sweating
excessively. The SCF recommends broad spectrum sunscreens,
which protect the skin from both UVA and UVB
rays. Though a product with a sun protection factor (SPF)
of at least 15 is acceptable when walking the dog or driving
to work, the SCF advises using a product with an SPF of 30
or higher when engaging in extended outdoor activities like
gardening or mowing.
• Employ the buddy system. Use the buddy system when
pruning tall trees or performing any tasks that require a
ladder. The Orthopedic Institute of Pennsylvania reports that
more than 164,000 people are injured each year falling off a
ladder. Ask a significant other or neighbor to hold the ladder
in place while you climb up to reduce your risk of falling. If
cutting large branches, cut them piecemeal to reduce the risk
of being injured by heavy falling branches.
• Inspect the property for insect hives. The OIP notes that
the most common insect stings in spring come from bees,
wasps and hornets. Homeowners who are not careful can
inadvertently come across hives when doing spring cleanup,
making them vulnerable to bites and stings. That can be very
dangerous for anyone, and especially so for people with a
history of allergic reactions to insect bites or stings. Inspect
areas where you’ll be working to make sure insects haven’t
put down roots in your property. If you discover any hives
and are hesitant to remove them on your own, contact a local
landscaping firm.
Lawn and garden accidents and injuries can be serious.
Thankfully, accidents and injuries are easily prevented when
homeowners take a few simple safety precautions while
tending to their lawns and gardens.

Plants that can keep bugs away
from outdoor living spaces
Outdoor living spaces have become increasingly popular among
homeowners in recent years, and that popularity grew even more
over the last year. As social distancing guidelines issued in response to
the COVID-19 pandemic encouraged people to stay home as much
as possible, a desire for accessible, enjoyable outdoor spaces grew.
A 2020 study of Google trends data from the home decor retailer
Living Spaces found that searches for items such as patio daybeds
and small-space outdoor furniture grew by more than 200 percent
between the early part of 2020 and the middle of the year.
If outdoor living spaces are in demand, so,
too, are ways to make those spaces as comfortable
as possible. There’s much homeowners
can do to make the most of their outdoor
spaces, but they might feel helpless against
some unwanted, often relentless guests:
insects. Insects can turn relaxing days on the
patio into wars of attrition with hungry bugs
like mosquitoes. Thankfully, there are ways
to fight back against insects while simultaneously
adding a little aesthetic appeal to the
backyard. The Farmer’s Almanac notes that
planting these insect-repelling plants around
the patio or backyard can help homeowners
successfully repel unwanted insects, including
mosquitoes.
• Lavender: Lavender is a fragrant plant that
adds a pop of purple and has been known to
repel mosuitoes, fleas, flies, and moths.
• Basil: Basil can provide the best of both
worlds, as it’s been found to repel flies and
moths and also makes for a tasty addition to
pasta sauces and other dishes.
• Thyme: Also a valuable ingredient to keep
in the kitchen, thyme can help keep hungry
mosquitoes at bay.
• Mint: The Farmer’s Almanac warns that
it’s easy to overplant mint, so homeowners
should only plant with care and make a
concerted effort to prevent overgrowth. Also
great in the kitchen, mint has long been considered
an effective mosquito repellant.
• Alliums: Like lavender, alliums can add
a burst of purple to your patio. And though
they aren’t believed to repel mosquitoes, alliums
have been found to be helpful against
cabbage worms, aphids, carrot flies, and
slugs.
• Chrysanthemums: If ants are drawing
homeowners’ ire, chrysanthemums may do
the trick. These eye-catching flowers also are
believed to repel fleas and roaches, among
other insects.
• Marigolds: The scent of this awe-inspiring
plant is known to repel mosquitoes and other
pests. Marigolds also attract insects like
ladybugs that are known to consume aphids,
which are minute bugs that reproduce rapidly
and feed by sucking sap from plants.

SPRING HOME & GARDEN | THE WORLD
State Officials Warn Vermonters about False Hellebore
Wild leeks, also known as ramps (Allium tricoccum), are
a wild edible that many Vermonters enjoy each spring. If you
are foraging for them, be careful to not mistake the ramps for
a poisonous lookalike plant called false hellebore.
The young leaves of American false hellebore (Veratrum
viride) are often mistaken for ramps. False hellebore contains
poisonous chemicals called alkaloids, and eating false hellebore
can make people very sick, enough to hospitalize them.
According to the Northern New England Poison Center
there has been at least one reported poisoning in Vermont so
far this year. Last year, the poison control center managed
25 cases involving Vermonters with possible false hellebore
poisoning, more than four times the usual number.
“Eating false hellebore can be very dangerous,” said Sarah
Vose, state toxicologist with the Department of Health. “You
can be enjoying a meal one minute and then need to be
rushed to the hospital.”
State officials urge Vermonters who harvest wild ramps
to make sure they know how to identify them. The leaves of
ramps are flat, grow directly from the ground, and are generally
found in rich upland forests. Ramps also smell strongly
of onion. False hellebore leaves are pleated in appearance,
grow from a stalk, occur in floodplains, marshes and swamps
– and do not smell like onion.
“Harvesting wild edibles like ramps is a healthy and
rewarding activity, but always know what you are gathering,”
said Department of Fish and Wildlife Biologist Bob Popp,
“One of the simplest ways to identify a ramp is to smell it. If
it doesn’t smell like an onion, don’t eat it, it’s not
a ramp.” Popp also reminded foragers to always
harvest in a sustainable manner, minimizing impact
on the ecosystem.
If you may have eaten false hellebore, do not wait
for symptoms to appear. Call the Northern New
England Poison Center right away at 1-800-222-
1222. You can also chat online at nnepc.org, or text
“poison” to 85511. If someone has passed out or is
having trouble breathing, dial 9-1-1.
Symptoms of poisoning include severe nausea
and vomiting, which often move on to slow heartbeat
and low blood pressure. Other symptoms may
include: slowed breathing, weakness, dizziness,
numbness and tingling, and sweating.

VTF&W Urges Sustainable
Harvesting of Wild Plants
Early spring is a great time to get outside for hikes, birding
and collecting wild edibles. High on the list of the latter category
are fiddleheads the unfurling leaves of ostrich ferns
and ramps (wild leeks). Both species are quite common in
Vermont, but excessive harvest has resulted in local population
declines, according to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife
Department.
While commercial harvest of either of these species is prohibited
on state and conservation lands, there is no regulation
on private property.
Studies have shown that heavy harvest of fiddleheads significantly
reduces the number of fronds, or leaves, produced
over the next few years,” said Vermont Fish and Wildlife
Botanist Bob Popp. “These studies indicate that limiting
harvest to less than 50 percent of the fronds limits impacts
and does not reduce availability the following year.”
Popp says the impact of harvesting wild leeks is even more
severe because typically the entire plant is removed, but that
it can be done sustainably by leaving the bulb in the ground
and harvesting only the leaves. He points out that leeks
mostly reproduce vegetatively by sending out underground
stems, but that only the larger, older bulbs are capable of
doing this.
“We encourage outdoor activities,” he added, “but we want
to remind foragers to harvest sustainably and be aware of the
level of previous harvesting before adding to that impact.”

Awareness Week Spotlights Emerald Ash Borer
Several activities are planned in Vermont for Emerald Ash
Borer Awareness Week, May 15-22, to help increase public
understanding of an invasive forest pest that has destroyed
millions of acres of ash trees in the country.
Vermonters are encouraged to get involved by participating
in an informational webinar, organizing a neighborhood ash
tree tagging event or other COVID-safe community activity
and posting on social media or Front Porch Forum during the
month of May.
Information on the emerald ash borer, ash tree identification
and how to conduct a neighborhood tree tagging campaign
can be found in the Emerald Ash Borer Awareness
Week Toolkit (http://go.uvm.edu/eab-toolkit). This resource
also contains videos, posters, sample social media posts and
resources for educators.
In addition, the Vermont Invasives website (www.
VTinvasives.org) has information on the signs and symptoms
of infested ash trees, the latest map of reported sightings and
a link to sign up for the EAB Update Listserv to receive information
about this pest as it becomes available. To date, this
wood-boring beetle has been found in 12 Vermont counties.
It was first reported in Orange County in 2018.
Free webinars are planned for May 19, 7-8:30 p.m., on
Black Ash: Research and Cultural Practices in the Face of
Emerald Ash Borer, and on May 20, 1-2 p.m., the Emerald
Ash Borer in Vermont: Current Status and State Response.
For details, visit http://vtcommunityforestry.org/news/events.
Across the Fence, the University of Vermont (UVM)
Extension farm, home and community show on WCAX-TV,
will devote an episode to how some municipalities are preparing
for the impact of this pest on local ash trees. The show
is scheduled for May 17 at 12:10 p.m. and will be archived
for future viewing at www.uvm.edu/extension/atfence after it
airs.
In addition, anyone may submit a story, drawing, photograph
or poem about an ash tree or ash product at ash@vlt.
org or view others’ contributions at www.vlt.org/ash.
Interested individuals also may sign up to become a Forest
Pest First Detector to help monitor and plan for invasive
insects in their community by contacting Ginger Nickerson,
UVM Extension forest pest educator, at ginger.nickerson@
uvm.edu.
Several Vermont communities will be tagging local ash
trees and hosting other COVID-safe activities in May. Among
them are Braintree, Georgia, Guilford, Huntington Sharon,
Tinmouth, Williamstown, Windsor, Woodstock and towns in
Grand Isle County.
Emerald Ash Borer Awareness Week is hosted by UVM
Extension; the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and
Recreation; the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food and
Markets; the Vermont Land Trust; and Vermont’s Forest Pest
First Detectors.
Additional resources for homeowners and municipalities

SPRING HOME & GARDEN | THE WORLD
Plant Summer-Blooming Bulbs
Spring is the time to plant summer-blooming
bulbs, such as dahlias, gladiolas, lilies,
calladiums and elephant ears. Bulbs should be
stored in a cool, dry place until all danger of
frost has passed. Then it’s time to plant.
WHEN TO PLANT
Exactly when you plant will depend on what planting zone
you live in. According to GardenDesign.com, in colder climates
such as SDA ones to , summer-flowering bulbs
should be planted in mid to late spring ay to une, and in
ones to 1, in early to mid-spring late arch to ay.
HOW TO PLANT
The best resource for knowing how deep to plant your
bulbs is the packaging they came in. In general, dig a hole
that’s - times as deep as the bulb is tall. The pointy side of
the bulb should face up. The roots should face down. ive
the bulbs a good watering. Continue watering whenever the
soil is dry. Keep in mind that over-watering can cause the
bulb to rot.
MIND YOUR SOIL
ost bulbs need rich soil, so mix some compost into your
soil for the best results, especially if your soil is heavy clay
or has poor drainage. Loamy or slightly sandy soil is ideal.
PREVENT WEEDS
The best way to prevent weeds is to add - inches of
mulch on top of your flowerbeds. ulbs can easily grow up
through the mulch. Weeds will have a harder time. Weed barrier
fabric is not idea to use when planting bulbs, because it
can prevent moisture from reaching the roots of the developing
bulb. If you must use weed barrier fabric, cut slits in the
fabric at the site of each bulb.
PLANT FOR VISUAL EFFECT
Consider when your flowers will bloom to provide blooms
all season long. Different plants bloom at different times
during the season. Others, such as such as seedum, daylilies,
hosta or bleeding heart, will bloom repeatedly until late fall
or provide consistent, rich foliage. ix up your plantings so
that your flowerbeds provide visual interest all season long.

Spring Garden Cleanup And Planning
It’s spring and that means it’s time to get back into your flower and vegetable gardens.
By Bonnie Kirn Donahue
Extension Master Gardener, University of Vermont
Once the soil has dried out in your flower gardens, remove
any sticks, dried leaf debris and old mulch, being careful not
to step on any emerging plants.
se this time to think about how you can build your garden’s
soil health by adding organic matter. Dried leaf debris
can be chopped fine with a lawnmower, collected and worked
back into the soil. Adding a layer of compost or mulch to
your soil are other ways to do this.
If you left your perennial flower heads and stems intact
over the winter for bird and insect habitat, it’s time to trim
these back. Try to cut these old stems as close as you can
to the ground within an inch or so. The new growth will
begin to grow from the base, so be mindful of what you are
trimming.
When the soil is dry enough, you can add your first application
of mulch for the season. There are many types of
mulch. Consult with the experts at your local garden center to
determine which mulch is best for you.

spreading, pull the mulch away from the base of each plant

In gardens with spring-flowering bulbs, you’ll want to

protect them.
or your vegetable beds, clear out any plant matter from

is not diseased or insect-infested.
Once you have cleaned out your beds, add a layer of compost

SPRING HOME & GARDEN | THE WORLD
Spring Pruning Basics
Many perennial plants need a
spring pruning. Their foliage may
provide protection during the
winter, but by spring, it’s time to
prune in order to encourage new
growth. This means pruning is
an essential part of your spring
gardening plans.
Here are some pruning basics to get you started.
WHEN TO PRUNE
According to the Old Farmers Almanac, the timing of
pruning a tree or shrub depends mostly on when it blooms
and whether it blooms on old or new growth. In general,
plants that flower after midsummer should be pruned in the
spring, while those that bloom in winter, spring and early
summer should be pruned soon after flowering.
Burger Farm and Garden Center reminds gardeners that
while an ill-timed pruning may lead to fewer flowers and
fruits, it is rarely fatal to the plant.
WHAT TO PRUNE
Fruit trees such as apple, cherry, peach and plum, and
vines such as trumpet vine and wisteria, should be pruned in
early spring. Spring-flowering shrubs such as lilacs and rhododendrons
need to be pruned as soon as their early-spring
blooms have faded. This will help ensure a good bloom
next year. According to TheSpruce.com, Black-eyed Susan,
gayfeather, purple coneflower and globe thistle seed heads
are great food for birds, so leave them be until early spring,
while coral bells, delphiniums, hostas, turtleheads and mums
need the protection of their foliage during winter. Don’t cut
them back until spring.
PRUNING TOOLS
It’s important to keep your pruning tools sharp. While a
plant can easily recover form a clean cut, a botched cut can
weaken the plant and make the plant susceptible to disease.
Sharpen shears and clippers, and oil moving parts to keep
them working smoothly.
HOW TO PRUNE
Some plants need more aggressive pruning than others.
Consult the Old Farmers Almanac or your local extension
service for particulars on how much to prune a particular
shrub or plant.
In general, when pruning a tree, begin with removing any
dead or dying branches, as well as any “suckers” — sprouts
emerging from the base of the trunk. ake clean cuts flush
to the branch, with no part of the growth remaining. Also
remove “watersprouts,” which are small, straight vertical
shoots growing on the main branches.
Thin out the tree by removing branches that grow downward,
toward the center of the tree or that cross paths with
another branch, as well as any limbs along the trunk that are
bigger in diameter than the trunk.
Then focus on evening out the branches and removing
competing branches. Finally, prune the tree from the outermost
growth to give it a pleasing shape, and promote the
growth of shorter, thicker branches.

Garden Planning with Plant Hardiness Zones
By Judith Tremblay
Extension Master Gardener Intern, University of Vermont
Now that the warmer days of spring are here, it is not
uncommon for cabin fever to be replaced with gardening
fever. However, it is important to take a step back and consider
what can successfully be grown in your vegetable garden.
A good starting point is to identify what the plant hardiness
zone is for your location. The U.S. Department of Agriculture
(USDA) has divided the country into different zones based on
years of data where the extreme minimum temperatures were
recorded and then averaged.
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone Map is the standard by
which you can determine which plants will be more likely to
thrive at a given location. Just enter your zip code at https://
planthardiness.ars.usda.gov to find your zone.
Vermont has five different plant hardiness zones: 3b, 4a,
4b, 5a and 5b. The lower the zone number, the colder the
temperatures reached in winter. Lower zone numbers also
typically mean a shorter growing season since the ground
takes longer to warm up.
I live in northern Vermont, and since I am close to Lake
Champlain, my zone is 4b. That’s because the lake has a buffering
effect, making it a bit warmer than other northern locations
farther from the lake or at higher elevations.
Most of the Northeast Kingdom, for example, is zone 4a
with pockets of Orleans and Essex Counties in a colder zone
3b. In southern Vermont, the zones will be higher, either 5a or
5b, although a cooler 4b in many mountain towns.
The growing season is longer for the higher zones, so gardeners
in zone 5b will have an easier time growing winter
squash compared to gardeners in zone 3b. On the other hand,
leafy greens will thrive in the cooler zones 4a and 3b and can
be successfully sown well into summer.
Different plants are better adapted for each location, so
knowing your plant hardiness zone will allow you to select the
best-suited plants and produce rewarding crops.
Happy planting!

Let’s say your thumb isn’t
exactly green. Let’s say it is,
in fact, more gray or black
than anything. That’s OK. You,
too, can still have a gorgeous
garden by following the
USDA’s planting zones.
WHAT ARE PLANTING ZONES?
The USDA Plant Hardiness Zone map helps gardeners determine
which plants are more likely to thrive in a given area.
It’s based on the average annual minimum temperatures,
divided into 10-degree zones. You can type your ZIP code
into the SDA website and find exactly what zone you are.
The latest USDA map was created in 2012 and represents a
change from the previous 1990 version.
The newer version of the map is generally one five-degree
half-zone warmer than previous versions throughout the
United States. Partially, the USDA says, this change comes
from more thorough and sophisticated climate data that
improved the accuracy and detail of the map.
SPRING HOME & GARDEN | THE WORLD
Know Your Planting Zones
FACTORS IN THE ZONES
Though the map is categorized by minimum temperature
zones, the USDA also took into consideration other factors.
These include light, soil moisture, duration of cold weather
and humidity. Also bear in mind that the map covers the entire
country and while accuracy is better, it still isn’t precise
for any given area. The map is based on averages, not the
lowest or highest temperatures ever, and your more delicate
plants may still need to be protected in extreme weather.
Likewise, if a new version of the map comes out and you
switch zones, that doesn’t mean you need to rip out all your
existing plants. What’s doing well in your yard will likely to
continue to do well, as specific plants may develop hardiness
to different conditions over time.
GET EXPERIENCE
The best thing you can do to keep your plants alive, in
addition to consulting the map, is to get more gardening
experience.
Start by asking the experts at your local nursery what
plants would do best in your area. Take note of the light exposure
in your garden, any specific pests you have to battle,
and be honest about your gardening experience and the
amount of effort you’re willing to put in.

Shop Where You Live
Supporting Local Businesses Has Never Been More Important
Supporting Local Businesses Has Never Been More Important
Shopping locally is now more crucial than ever
The importance of shopping locally has
been emphasized with increasing urgency
in recent years. Events like Small Business
Saturday and Plaid Friday have brought
some much-needed attention to the importance
of shopping local, which is even more
crucial now as so many small businesses try
to survive the pandemic.
A poll from the trade group the National
Federation of Independent Business reported
that about half of all the businesses in the
survey reported a 25 percent drop in sales
since the outbreak of the COVID-19 virus,
and roughly one in five businesses have
seen sales decline by more than 50 percent.
If the economic climate does not radically
improve, 20 percent of small businesses
won’t survive.
According to NBC News, small businesses
employ 60 million people in the
United States, almost half of the nation’s
private-sector employees. In addition, small
businesses generate tax revenues that help
communities by funding schools, maintaining
parks and contributing to public safety
programs. However, based on research from
the Federal Reserve Bank of New York,
even before COVID-19 spread across the
world, only 20 percent of healthy small
businesses had sufficient cash reserves to
continue to operate if they experienced a
revenue loss for two months. Some have
been shuttered for much longer.
Individuals looking for everything from
clothing to home improvement services to
office supplies can look to small businesses
to fill those needs.
• Look for small businesses for any and
all of your shopping needs. Chances are
items sold by big box retailers also are sold
by small businesses. When the options are
the same or similar, purchase from a small
business instead of its big box competitor.
• Readily provide recommendations of
small businesses with which you have done
business. Too often people are quick to complain
about places that have failed them, but
those same people don’t think to say kind
words about companies that went above and
beyond. Share great experiences on social
media or through word of mouth.
Talk to small businesses owners first
if you have an issue. It’s tempting to go
directly to social media to complain about
something, but such complaints can have
a dire impact. Always take issues to the
manager or business owner first to see if a
resolution can be reached. A manager may
not be aware of an issue at all. Give small
businesses a chance to make it right before
taking things public.
• If you own a small business, rely on
other small businesses to fulfill your needs.
Order supplies from fellow small business
owners, seek the help of local financial
advisors and tax professionals and use local
suppliers and delivery personnel.
Small businesses have experienced unprecedented
setbacks due to COVID-19. By
supporting small businesses, communities
can help them regain stable footing.
BUSINESS OF THE WEEK
In 1981 Fred Peyerl opened The
Woodshed in a small location at the
bottom of Prospect Street in Barre
selling only unfi nished furniture. With
the addition of mattresses and other
fi nished furniture the name was
changed to Mattress Land.
With the need for more space and
a more visible location, the business
was moved to N. Main Street in
downtown Barre. Then in 2011, Fred
bought the former Boulevard Gardens
building at #97 US Rte. 302, Barre-
Montpelier Road.
Mattress Land is now owned and
operated by Fred’s son Michael and
daughter-in-law Amanda (Ackerman)
Peyerl.
“Our main focus is to provide
quality furniture and mattresses at
Mattress Land
a variety of prices,” say the Peyerl’s,
adding that there are always over
25 mattresses (including therapeutic
two-sided mattresses) on display and
over 30 recliners by Best Chair, Inc.
Other products include glider rockers,
bedroom furniture and adjustable
bases.
The Peyerl’s also warehouse
many of their popular mattresses and
recliners for immediate delivery.
There is also a propane “fi ll station”
that can fi ll all portable-size tanks up
to 100-lbs.
Mattress Land is open Mon.-
Fri. 10-6 and Sat. 10-2. For more

creeping in and causing you to lose interest in a repeat
proect. Deal with it by flipping over your usual routine
and finding a new way to do an old task.

History of Mother’s Day
Mother’s Day is a holiday honoring motherhood that is observed
in different forms throughout the world. In the United
States, Mother’s Day 2021 will occur on Sunday, May 9. The
American incarnation of Mother’s Day was created by Anna
arvis in 19 and became an official .S. holiday in 191.
Jarvis would later denounce the holiday’s commercialization
and spent the latter part of her life trying to remove it from
the calendar. While dates and celebrations vary, Mother’s Day
traditionally involves presenting moms with flowers, cards
and other gifts.
The official other’s Day holiday arose in the 19s as a
result of the efforts of Anna Jarvis, daughter of Ann Reeves
Jarvis. Following her mother’s 1905 death, Anna Jarvis conceived
of other’s Day as a way of honoring the sacrifices
mothers made for their children.
After gaining financial backing from a hiladelphia department
store owner named John Wanamaker, in May 1908
she organized the first official other’s Day celebration at a
Methodist church in Grafton, West Virginia. That same day
also saw thousands of people attend a Mother’s Day event at
one of Wanamaker’s retail stores in Philadelphia.
ollowing the success of her first other’s Day, arvis
who remained unmarried and childless her whole liferesolved
to see her holiday added to the national calendar.
Arguing that American holidays were biased toward male
achievements, she started a massive letter writing campaign to
newspapers and prominent politicians urging the adoption of a
special day honoring motherhood.
By 1912 many states, towns and churches had adopted
Mother’s Day as an annual holiday, and Jarvis had established
the Mother’s Day International Association to help promote
her cause. Her persistence paid off in 191 when resident
Woodrow Wilson signed a measure officially establishing the
second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

MOTHER’S DAY | MAY 9, 2021
Moms need timeouts, too
While time-outs may be torturous
for young children eager to get up
and go, alone time may sound like
paradise to busy mothers.
It can be helpful for parents to schedule daily timeouts,
though breaks a few times per week can do the trick as well.
Timeouts can benefit moms who need a break during or
after a long day. Such breaks can be restful and reenergizing.
Any woman can benefit from a time-out, but working
mothers juggling careers and home life may be especially in
need of scheduled breaks.
Women who want to incorporate more breaks into their
daily routines should know that it’s possible to do so, even on
the most hectic days.
• You don’t need much time. A break doesn’t need to be
extensive to be effective. Schedule around 30 minutes for the
timeout. That’s just enough time to watch a sitcom, read a
chapter in a book or enjoy a nice, steamy bath.
Choose a kid-free time of day. If possible, select a timeout
period when the kids are away from home or you can be
guaranteed some alone time. If this is not possible, make an
arrangement with your spouse to look after the kids while
you get some alone time.
• Find an enjoyable activity. Select an activity for the timeout
that you may not have the opportunity to enjoy when other
people or tasks require your attention. Listening to music,
taking an exercise class, writing in a journal, engaging in
artwork or other crafts, or reading a book make for great
timeout activities. A timeout is not the time to catch up on
chores.
• Treat yourself on occasion. Build an extra treat into the
time-out, such as a bite of a favorite dessert or purchasing a
clothing accessory or a luxurious body butter. This can make
the timeout even more enjoyable.
Timeouts can be utilized by women who feel they need
opportunities to unwind and put themselves first for a short
time.

PET OF THE WEEK
Cupcake is sweet like her name implies, but
sometimes can become spicy like a cupcake that has a
kick to it! She loves attention from all humans she
meets, but is only tolerant of other felines who respect
her per-sonal space. She recently weaned kittens (all
have been adopted), so now she is looking for her
chance to find a great home to call her own! She
LOVES all the time she can get on our porches, so she
would be okay with a home off the beaten path where
she can get some outdoor time too!
All adoptions are done by a phone
appointment only (no one is allowed
in the building). Contact an adoption
counselor to set up an appointment
at 802-476-3811 or emailing

Ideas for Repurposing a Shed
A backyard shed is handy for
storing outdoor items, such
as gardening tools, bicycles,
lawnmowers and more. There’s
a trend, however, of repurposing
backyard sheds into more usable
living or storage spaces.
If your shed needs new life or you’re looking for more
space, consider these remodels. You can do a basic update
on a budget, or go all out and turn the shed into a brand new
space.
A STANDARD REMODEL
Update a gardening shed with a fresh coat of paint and
new fixtures, such as a custom handmade potting bench complete
with a wash basin, customized storage for gardening
tools and gear and window boxes with flowers.
SPRING HOME & GARDEN | THE WORLD
MAN CAVE OR SHE SHED
If you can afford to put more money into the project, why
not turn the shed into a space all your own? Convert the shed
to a man cave or she-shed. Add a TV, sofa and mini fridge for
an entertaining space. Add custom storage and a craft table to
make a crafting space.
Have a hobby? Wire the shed to run a pottery wheel,
woodworking tools or more. Or make it a peaceful yoga
space.
A GUEST HOUSE
If you could use a space for guests, consider converting the
shed into a bull-blown guest house. You’ll likely need to add
insulation and heating/cooling, electricity and furniture to
convert the space to a living area. You could also add a TV
and internet access. If your budget allows, you could even
add plumbing.
A HOME OFFICE
The COVID-19 pandemic sent many people scrambling to
find space in their homes for a home office. With internet access,
soundproofing, insulation and HVAC, your shed could
become your new work-from-home space.
ADD A SHED
If you don’t currently have a shed, consider adding one.
You can buy pre-made sheds or build your own, or consider
a prefab model that can be customized for the intended use.
No matter what you do, check into local ordinances regarding
sheds. Sheds above a certain size may need to be permitted
and inspected.
If you live in a neighborhood with a homeowner’s association
sheds may not be permitted or may need to be approved
by the HOA board and meet certain design
standards.

Huge New Season on the Horizon at
Devil’s Bowl Speedway
Devil’s Bowl Speedway is ready to set
records in 2021. The historic Vermont dirt
track opens its 55th season of racing on
Saturday, May 1 at 7:00 p.m., as Mike’s Fuels
of Bridport presents the action, and race fans
are in for a summer for the ages, as the fastest-growing
track in the Northeast skyrockets
into the new year.
The new season is expected to smash
modern-era records, as a huge wave of new
drivers across five racing divisions has
entered the fray. A diverse field of nearly 80
cars attended an open practice session last
weekend, and all signs point to an openingnight
car count well past 100 entries.
The headline Sportsman Modified class –
with more than 30 cars expected to attempt
qualifying – will run for a whopping $2,500
winner’s purse on opening night. The feature
event has been extended from 30 laps to 32,
signifying the car number of driver Matt
Bilodeau, who passed away unexpectedly in
early April.
Reigning champion Demetrios Drellos of
Queensbury, N.Y., will return for opening
night, and he will be one of many drivers
honored during a special awards ceremony.
With the annual Banquet of Champions cancelled
due to the pandemic, race fans will be
the audience as the top drivers of 2020 are
recognized during the presentation.
Drellos, who is fresh off a runner-up showing
on the dirt at Bristol Motor Speedway in
his Big Block Modified, won five Sportsman
races at Devil’s Bowl last year en route to his
first title. “The Greek Streak” will have dozens
of challengers trying to dethrone him
including former Devil’s Bowl champion
Adam Pierson, and his father, Gene, a former
Coupe champion who will run at Devil’s
Bowl for the first time in his long career.
A long list of solid veterans who have registered
for the full season includes Frank
Hoard III, Tim LaDuc, Justin Comes, Joey
Scarborough, Jimmy Ryan, Vince
Quenneville, and Don Mattison. Talented
young racers looking to spoil the party include
Marty Kelly III, Tanner Siemons, Justin
Stone, and Josh Masterson, as well as rookies
Johnny Bruno and Anthony Warren. Many
more drivers are expected to register by opening
day, including several champions and race
winners from Devil’s Bowl and other area
tracks.
The O’Reilly Auto Parts Limited Sportsman
division is stacked with emerging stars and
raw rookies, with a car count numbering deep

into the 30s. The championship battle is wide
open with leading contenders Anthony Ryan,
Austin Comes, Evan Roberts, Scott
FitzGerald, Larry Gallipo, and many more
searching for their first title.
The Super Stock division is expected to
continue its recent growth, and champion
Andrew FitzGerald of West Rutland, Vt., will
have his hands full. A solid group of winners,
champions, and newcomers will help improve
the car count significantly over recent years
– even as several drivers have graduated to
the Limited Sportsman class.
The Mini Stock division – with new sponsor
Summit Up Construction of Ripton, Vt.
– will have a swell of new racers, and could
reach up to 30 entries at the opener. Chris
Conroy of Newport, N.H., returns to defend
his title and brings a pair of new teammates
with him. Seven rookies have registered
already, with more expected.
The Friend Construction 500cc Mini Sprint
division, like the Super Stocks, is anticipating
growth into the mid-teens. With champion
Cody O’Brien moving up, Austin Chaves of
Chester, Vt., aims for his second title. Chaves
has plenty of company at the top, though,
with drivers ranging in age from 11 to 65
years old.
Grandstand admission is $12 for adults
(age 13+), and $5 for children 12 and under.
Infield Drive-In Parking, weather permitting,
will be $20 for adults and free for kids. Pit
Area admission is $25 for members and $35
for non-members. State-mandated restrictions
remain in place; face masks are required,
though vaccination cards are not.
A cap will be placed on grandstand ticket
sales per state guidelines, and fans are encouraged
to buy grandstand tickets in advance
online at https://buytickets.at/devilsbowlspeedway;
an online processing fee will apply
at the time of purchase. Infield tickets and pit
passes are not available online and will only
be sold at the speedway on race day.
Devil’s Bowl Speedway is located on
Route 22A in West Haven, Vt., four miles
north of U.S. Route 4, Exit 2, and just 20
minutes from Rutland, Vt. For more information,
