NATURAL HEALTH CORNER | JOSHUA SINGER

London physician named James

A Parkinson first described Parkinson’s

disease as “shaking palsy” in 1817. This

disorder is now understood to be a progressive

neurological disorder involving

degeneration of neurons in a region of the

brain that controls movement. This degeneration

creates a shortage of dopamine,

which explains the reason for the movement

dysfunctions that characterize Parkinson’s disease. The

brain loses the ability to tell the body when and how to move.

Parkinson’s disease is a relatively rare disorder; around 6% of

those over the age of 65 are affected. It is more common in

men than women.

Typically the first symptom is tremor, shaking or trembling,

of a limb, especially when at rest. Often the tremor will initially

affect one hand, then eventually the other, and sometimes

the head will shake. Other common symptoms include

slow movement, difficulty in initiating movement, rigid limbs,

a shuffling gait, a stooped posture, and reduced facial expressions.

In about a third of the cases, the disease also causes or

is associated with depression, personality changes, dementia,

sleep disturbances, speech impairments, and/or sexual difficulties.

PARKINSON’S THROUGH THE LENS

OF CHINESE MEDICINE

Reviewing ancient Chinese medical texts, we see descriptions

of the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. Though not yet

labeled as a disorder until the early 1800’s and not having the

understanding of the mechanisms involved, Parkinson’s

symptoms have been analyzed over the centuries. Chinese

Medicine has used language reflecting similar activity in

nature, as the term “internal wind” is used to describe the sudden

shaking or spasms and the irregularity of movement.

Though “internal wind” may be seen as an excessive condition,

underlying this is deficiency that is addressed when treating

with Chinese Medicine. Our western minds may compare

this to the degeneration we now know of in the brain causing

a deficiency of dopamine.

By stimulating certain points on the body known to

‘”relieve wind” with acupuncture, the symptoms of Parkinson’s

can be significantly reduced. A couple points commonly used

for this purpose are located at the base of the skull. These

points are translated in English as Wind Mansion and Wind

Pool. Specific Chinese herbal formulas are also used with this

intention. A formula used for many people who have

Parkinson’s disease has chief herbs which “extinguish wind

and stop tremors”. These are known as gastrodia, uncaria, and

abalone shell. Ginkgo is a common single herb that improves

blood flow to the brain and may assist in the delivery of dopamine.

This is an herb that can interact with blood thinners, so

please take this into consideration.

NUTRITION AND OTHER THERAPIES USED

Levodopa (L-dopa) and carbidopa are the main drugs used

to treat Parkinson’s disease. Levodopa is converted to dopamine

in the body, while carbidopa helps slow down how fast

levodopa is converted to dopamine in the body outside the

brain, making more dopamine available for the brain. A low

protein diet helps the body use levodopa and carbidopa most

efficiently, so your doctor may suggest that you limit the protein

you eat, and eat most of the protein during the evening

hours rather than morning and afternoon. It’s important to be

supervised on a low protein diet to make sure proper nutrition

is gained. As constipation is a common symptom of

Parkinson’s, fiber may be an important supplement to add.

Fava beans contain levodopa and can potentially have both

positive and negative effects in people with Parkinson’s disease.

For some people, getting more levodopa in their diet

may help with symptoms. For others, it could be easily excessive.

So adding this into the diet is something to investigate

with supervision and care. It has been observed that coffee and

caffeine may lower the risk and progression of Parkinson’s.

This doesn’t mean that one should feel free to use any amount

of caffeine in their daily diet, but a small amount may actually

be protective.

General exercise helps improve mobility and, in particular,

walking, swimming, and even light weight lifting are recommended.

Tai chi, qi gong, and yoga can improve balance,

flexibility, and range of motion in people with Parkinson’s

disease. These movement therapies may also boost mood.

Massage therapy will help increase circulation and decrease

muscle spasm. Craniosacral therapy, an osteopathic form of

bodywork that focuses on the brain and spinal column, may

reduce tremors and improve function.

Though Parkinson’s disease is known to be incurable, there

are various therapies, activities, and foods described here that

can help manage the symptoms and potentially slow the progression

of the disease. These are worth investigating and

exploring the potential benefits for those dealing with this

disease.

Fresh Tracks Winery Bids Farewell

Agency of Transportation

Awards $3.3 Million in Bicycle

and Pedestrian Grants

The Vermont Agency of Transportation (AOT) announced

that it has awarded approximately $3.3 million in grants to

municipalities for bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure improvement

projects. The construction projects and planning

grants ill benefit cities and tons stateide by improving

connectivity and safety for the traveling public and providing

tangible economic benefits.

The Agency continues to work toward its goal of improvements

that enable use of all modes of transportation effectively

in communities. Municipalities are answering a call for better

conditions for walking and bicycling, especially in downtowns

and village centers.

“Walking and bicycling, especially for the many short trips

that are made, are a great way to reduce congestion and provide

an opportunity for physical activity for Vermonters and

visitors,” said AOT Bicycle and Pedestrian Coordinator Jon

Kaplan. “We see a positive effect on property values, tourism,

and business groth, as ell as less traffic congestion, better

public health, and lower personal transportation costs.”

AOT annually awards millions of federal dollars through

the Bicycle and Pedestrian Program, with the goal to provide

safe and convenient facilities for those Vermonters who desire

alternative transportation opportunities.

hese grants are instrumental to the fulfillment of to of

the Agency’s strategic goals: to grow Vermont’s economy by

providing a reliable and efficient transportation system, and to

make Vermont more affordable by providing accessible, convenient,

and affordable travel options,” said Transportation

Secretary Joe Flynn.

This year’s awards include a continuation of the initiative to

fund small-scale improvements using 100% state funds. These

smaller projects address critical safety needs, such as pedestrian

crossings and filling critical sidealk gaps. he goal is

to construct these small projects quickly with a minimum of

delays. Small-scale projects were awarded in four communities

statewide.

Interest in the program has been high, with applications

received for more than $7 million total in proposed projects.

Construction projects funded this year include a shared-use

path along Intervale Road in Burlington, upgrades to sidewalks

and crossings in Fair Haven to provide safe access to the

park and commercial district, pedestrian safety improvements

along Williston Road in South Burlington, and a critical connection

along the Marbleway shared-use path in West Rutland.

By CompassVermont.com

In 2002, the founder and winemaker at

The Fresh Tracks Farm Family, Christina

Castegren, conceded that their goal of making

genuinely authentic Vermont wine would

take place in a “beautiful and challenging climate.”

Like any winery, it took years to prepare the

land, gather the appropriate equipment, and

plant vines. hen they finally began making

wine, they offered seventeen wine varieties.

In 2017, through trial and error, they provided

two wines, with hopes of adding three more.

n , resh racks produced its first vintages

of Little Piggy Pink, Vermont Rosé, and

Frontenac Gris. They also experimented with

maple syrup, grape jam, and red wine vinegar.

Pushing forward, Fresh Tracks opened

their tasting room and a production facility on

ermont tate oute , beteen orthfield

and Montpelier.

But of all the challenges that Vermont

weather and the winemaking process can

pose, a global pandemic was the one variable

no small business could anticipate.

Amid inquiries from local fans and customers,

Fresh Tracks ultimately announced that

they would not reopen.

“We are so grateful to have been able to

share our wines with you over the years. It’s

been such a pleasure to be a part of this community,”

says their website.

The winery said that their online store

would remain open for in-person pick-ups

through September 17th, and their wines will

be available through retailers until the end of

the year. At that time, they anticipate the inventory

will be gone.

The Fresh Tracks Farm Family concluded

their post with a farewell message.

“Our deepest thanks to you, our loyal patrons

and friends, who have shared this journey

with us over the past two decades. We

raise a glass to you. With love and appreciation,

The Fresh Tracks Farm Family.”

“Last year, just as we got going with a few

people playing Corn Hole, the line formed for

food, and it just kept growing and growing,”

said a Barre City employee. “But we fed them

all!”

The event, food, beverages, and fun are all

free, thanks to local sponsors, and while the

food is alays a hit, its the fire trucks that

HUD Awards $981,690 to Help Low-

Income Elderly Homeowners In

Vermont Age In Place

The U.S. Department of Housing and

Urban Development (HUD) awarded

$981,690 to Cathedral Square Corporation to

assist in undertaking comprehensive programs

that make safety and functional home

modifications and limited repairs to meet the

needs of low-income elderly homeowners

that allow them to age in place. This funding

is part of $30 million being awarded nationally

to 32 grantees consisting of nonprofit

organizations, state and local governments,

and public housing authorities.

The Cathedral Square Corporation is being

awarded $981,690 in Older Adults Home

Modification grant program funding. With

this funding they will complete safety and

functional home modifications and limited

repairs in 140 units* to meet the needs of

low-income elderly homeowners. Cathedral

Square Corporation will be working with

other medical and social service providers.

For more information contact: Molly Dugan,

(802) 578-6074 or dugan@cathedralsquare.

org.

Provided through HUD’s Older Adults

Home Modification Program (OAHMP),

these grants enable low-income elderly persons

to remain in their homes through lowcost,

low barrier, high impact home modifications

to reduce older adults’ risk of falling,

improve general safety, increase accessibility,

and improve their functional abilities in their

home.

These investments will enable older adults

to remain in their homes – to “age in place”

– rather than move to nursing homes or other

assisted care facilities.

Experienced nonprofit organizations, state

and local governments, and public housing

authorities that received funding will deliver

home modification services to more than

5,000 qualified beneficiaries and serve communities

with substantial rural populations.

“Today, we are renewing our commitment

• • •

to improving the lives of older adults,” said

HUD Secretary, Marcia L. Fudge. “The funding

provided today will enable low-income

elderly persons to remain in their homes and

will reduce their risk of falling, improve their

general safety, increase accessibility, and

improve their functional abilities in their

home.”

“There is a strong connection between

health and housing,” said Matthew Ammon,

Director of HUD’s Office of Lead Hazard

Control and Healthy Homes. “These grants

provide a critical resource to communities to

make low-cost, low barrier, high impact home

modifications tailored to the needs of the

residents.”

*The number of units is an estimate, and

subject to availability of funds. Please note

that the maximum amount awarded under the

FY2021 OAHMP NOFA is $1,000,000,

awardees may have received less than their

federal request and may adjust the proposed

number of units during the first 60 days of the

award’s period of performance.

showed what “home” looks like to them. From an adult perspective

homeonership is often thought of as a financial asset,

but as e learned from these children home means much

more than that. ome is family, it is a place full of memories,

and uite succinctly home is the best place ever

ontestants dre, painted, and used a computer to make

their art and to sho us hat home means to them. ach of

the artists received four tickets for them and their families to

attend the ermont Mountaineers baseball game hich ere

generously donated by the Mountaineers.

ur volunteer outreach committee created this campaign as

a ay to connect ith our community members to let them

know that we are seeking property for our next Habitat build.

We would like for more people to understand the work that we

do and the importance of creating homeonership opportunities

for income sensitive families. omeoners for people

who grew up in a house that was owned by their parents sometimes

take for granted the value that having a home has had on

their lives. e anted to try and capture the sentiment of hat

homeonership means through the unfiltered eyes of children.

What does “home” mean to you? We will use this art in future

promotions of our program to remind people in our communities

of ho important having a home is in every aspect of our

lives. We will also use this artwork for our partner homeowner

application period this fall.

Federal Grant Lifts VT Live Venues

Fifty-Nine small businesses involved in the

performing arts throughout 36 Vermont cities

and towns have received more than $18.7

million in federal grants as of Aug. 3.

“We were thrilled to learn that we were

among the many worthy venues in our home

state of Vermont and across the nation who

were awarded a Shuttered Venues Operators

Grant. This infusion of funding will further

stabilize our organization as we continue to

navigate the pandemic and plan to resume inperson

operations as soon as it is safe to do so

for our audiences,” said Alissa Mello,

Managing Director of Sandglass Theater in

Putney. Sandglass Theater, which started in

1982 is a 60-seat theater specializing in puppetry.

The SVOG Program is overseen by the

Small Business Administration and its purpose

is to provide emergency grants to eligible

live venues affected by COVID-19. More

than $16.2 billion was appropriated for grants

via the Economic Aid to Hard-Hit Small

Businesses, Nonprofits and Venues Act and

the American Rescue Plan Act. Eligible applicants

could qualify for grants equal to 45% of

their gross earned revenue up to a maximum

amount of $10 million for a single grant.

The average SVOG award in Vermont was

$320,000. The lowest was $3,294 and highest

was $2,257,489. Eligible small businesses

included theater companies, movie theaters,

talent representatives, promoters and museums.

“What impressed me the most is the number

of small venues in rural towns that

received awards. We knew the more notable

venues in Chittenden and Washington

Counties would apply and most likely receive

funding, but to see the number of grants

awarded to ones in Windham and Caledonia

counties is particularly gratifying because

they too needed access to this capital,” said

Darcy Carter, SBA Vermont District Director.

The Shuttered Venue Operators Grant

emergency assistance was vital because live

venues were the first to shutter during the

Royalton Community Radio’s

8th Annual Pedal Power to the People

and Sunday, September 12th from The Green

rides have become a significant fundraiser for

Royalton Community Radio over the years.

This all volunteer, non-commercial community

station has been providing unique niche

programming to its listeners since March of

2013 ... both on the “dial” locally at 96.5FM

and online at www.wfvr.org.

pandemic such as the Fairbanks Museum &

Planetarium in St. Johnsbury.

“Although the entire organization was

affected by the pandemic, the planetarium

was really hard hit. We did not reopen it until

this past June, so it was closed for 15 months.

The funds will allow us to upgrade both the

equipment and programming in the planetarium,

such that we’ll be able to get back to the

previous level of programming, and hopefully

beyond, much quicker than we could have

otherwise,” said Adam Kane executive director

of the Fairbanks Museum & Planetarium.

SVOG funds could be used for a variety of

expenses including payroll, rent, mortgage,

utilities, taxes, insurance, and refunding ticket

holders for events canceled in 2020 due to

the pandemic.

“I referred to the SVOG as our salvation in

board meetings going back months. We certainly

met the grant criteria, but it wasn’t until

the award notice came through that we knew

that we had a safety net moving into the

future. The grant provides much-needed operational

funding that will make up for some of

the lost income we’ve seen since March 2020

and it will see us through 2021,” said Dan

Casey, Director of the Barre Opera House.

The program’s roots stem directly from

Vermont. It was Rep. Peter Welch who introduced

the original bill, The Save Our Stages

Act, in July 2020 and later became the

Shuttered Venue Operators Grant.

In a joint statement recently released by

U.S. Rep. Peter Welch, U.S. Sen. Patrick

Leahy and Sen. Bernie Sanders, the Vermont

Congregational Delegation said, “Our independent

live music and entertainment venues

not only bring joy and energy to our downtowns

and communities, they are economic

engines that help make Vermont such a special

place to live and visit.”

The SVOG portal remains open and funding

is still available for all eligible applicants.

Vermont FEED Announces

Selected Teams for the

2021-22 Northeast Farm to

School Institute

Shelburne Farms and NOFA-VT are offering a year-long

professional learning program through their Vermont FEED

partnership: the Northeast Farm to School Institute. This important

initiative supports selected schools in designing and

implementing effective, school-wide Farm to School (FTS)

programs — that have proven more important than ever

through the COVID-19 pandemic.

“After sixteen months of reimagining learning during the

pandemic, some changes are proving to be more than simply a

bandaid to ride out a tumultuous year,” explains Betsy Rosenbluth,

Vermont FEED Project Director. “Shifts we came to rely

on include: utilizing more outdoor learning spaces, increasing

access to school meals, investing in a more resilient local food

system that withstood pandemic-fueled infrastructure crises,

and appreciating the power of community to effect change.”

The programs resulting from the Northeast Farm to School

Institute seek to create a culture of wellness, improve food

quality and access, engage students in agriculture and nutrition

education, and strengthen local food systems. Vermont FEED

is excited to announce the ten teams selected for the 2021-22

Northeast Farm to School Institute:

• Bennington Early Childhood Center, Bennington, VT

• Central Elementary, Bellows Falls, VT

• Danville School, Danville, VT

• Eustis RSU Stratton School, Eustis, ME

• Flood Brook School, Londonderry, VT

• Macdongough STEM Academy, Middletown, CT

• Orange County Parent Child Center, Tunbridge, VT

• Peacham School, Peacham, VT

• RSU 19 Somerset Elementary School, Hartland, ME

est pringfield igh chool, est pringfield, M

In its twelfth year, the Institute has supported the programs

of well over 100 schools and districts, impacting tens of thousands

of students by embedding Farm to School into school

communities.

“It feels great to be in the garden. Our garden is beautiful.

We need Farm to School because it is important for us to have

access to healthy food so we can have a healthy life. The taste

tests are awesome and wonderful!” –3rd grade student, Floodbrook

School.

According to Maggie Rubick, Teacher, Northshire Day

School, Manchester, VT and 2020/21 participant, “Our participation

in the Northeast FTS Institute helped us to continue

growing our Farm to Early Childhood program at a time when

it would’ve been much easier to set aside our FTS work and

return to it post-pandemic. We learned that FTS & FTEC programs

can function as a protective factor, by connecting young

children and families to needed resources, building community,

and providing educators valuable resources and support

to engage children in safe outdoor learning.”

Here is how Farm to School showed up during the pandemic,

and how the movement will continue to nurture children’s

health, cultivate viable farms, and build vibrant communities:

Outdoor Classrooms

Onsite gardens have been a mainstay of farm to school programming,

and during the pandemic were a safe alternative to

indoor learning spaces. At the Parent Child Center of Rutland,

staff devoted non-work hours to organize raised bed building

days, planting days, and worked to ensure an equitable classroom

schedule so all children could gain access to the garden

space. Community Impact Director Beth Miller shared: “In

early spring of 2020, we excitedly began planning our gardens

We Get

… All was going well until March when Vermont went into

lockdown due to the coronavirus. Our plans for the gardens

were dashed, and the hands-on Harvest of the Month curriculum

shifted to online learning. But RCPCC was not wholly

discouraged! By July 1, with masks and social distance, we

built our raised beds. And with attention to social distance,

the children planted the seeds and the root-bound plant starts.

Nothing could stop the plants from growing and bearing fruit!

The children anxiously wait for each vegetable to be ready for

picking. Harvest of the Month is back to hands-on learning.”

Strengthening Local Food System

“Our approach has always been systemic local purchasing.

Buying local once in a while is nice. But nice is not systemic.

And our systemic purchasing was very resilient. It’s apples,

it’s beef, it’s corn, it’s maple syrup — these are the strategic,

big ticket items we buy regularly from local sources,” said

Harley Sterling, Food Service Director, Windham Northeast

Supervisory Union. “We don’t rely on going to the farmstand

and getting zucchini when it’s in season. We do that, and that’s

great, but our real impact comes from regularly purchasing

items we use all the time, like the frozen local beef we get from

the Food Connects food hub. So when national supply chains

were breaking down last spring, our local meat purchases continued

like normal.”

Power of Community

The High School for Environmental Sciences and 1Freedom

in New York created a youth brigade that engaged young

people throughout New York City to create mutual aid programs

in their immediate neighborhoods. Students from the

HSES and other high schools set up “Solidarity Fridges”

stocked with free food for the taking in their neighborhoods to

address food insecurity and food apartheid. These paid positions

are part of 1Freedom’s work to integrate food systems

education and activism in a real-world setting. This project

was an outcome from the team’s action planning process during

their time as 2020-21 Institute participants.

Vermont Bear Hunting Starts in September

The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department says bear hunting

season starts in September and reminds hunters about the

bear hunting regulations.

Vermont has two bear hunting seasons. The early season,

which requires a special bear tag, starts September 1, and

continues through November 12 with one exception.

Nonresident hunters using dogs cannot start bear hunting until

September 15. The late bear season begins November 13 and

continues through November 21. A hunter may only take one

bear during the year.

In addition to a hunting license, a bear hunter using a bow

or crossbow must have a prior or current bow license or a

certificate proving completion of a bow hunter education

course.

The hunter must field dress the bear before taking it to a

reporting station. It is also legal to skin the bear and cut it up

in order to carry it out of the woods. Although the bear must

be reported within 48 hours, Fish and Wildlife urges doing so

quickly to cool the meat. The hunter must also collect and

submit a pre-molar tooth from the bear at the time the bear is

reported or within 30 days. The tooth provides important data

on the age structure and size of the bear population.

Upon the request of a game warden, a person harvesting a

bear is required to return to the kill site with a game warden.

“Bears will be feeding along power lines and in forest openings

and old fields where berries and apples can be found as

well as in forested beech and oak stands,” said Vermont’s

Director of Wildlife Mark Scott. “They also are likely to be

feeding on standing corn.”

Scott says Vermont’s regulated legal bear hunting seasons

help manage the state’s population.

“Fifty years ago Vermont had less than 1,500 bears, and

they were found mostly in the mountains and northeastern

Vermont’s Resident Canada Goose Season, Sept. 1-25

Vermont’s resident Canada goose hunting season will be

held September 1 through September 25 to help control

Vermont’s resident Canada goose population prior to the

arrival of Canada geese migrating south from Canada according

to the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.

The season will be open statewide with a daily bag limit of

five Canada geese in the Connecticut River Zone and eight in

the rest of Vermont.

A second Canada goose hunting season for resident and

migrant birds will be held October 13 - November 11 with a

daily bag limit of one Canada goose in the Lake Champlain

Zone and Interior Vermont Zone.

In the Connecticut River Zone, the second Canada goose

season will be October 5 - November 7, and November 24 -

December 19 with a daily bag limit of two Canada geese.

A hunting license is required, and a waterfowl hunter 16 or

older must carry current federal and Vermont duck stamps.

quarter of the state,” he said. “Bears are now found statewide

except in Grand Isle County, and although we have successfully

increased bear numbers to close to 5,000, the human

population also has increased, resulting in more encounters

between humans and bears. Carefully regulated legal hunting

helps control the growth of the black bear population and

allows for their sustainable use, while decreasing interactions

with humans.”

Scott says with bears being so abundant, this is a great

opportunity for hunters who have never hunted bear to do so

this year. He says properly prepared bear meat is highly nutritious.

The key to successfully securing good meat is to skin

the bear as soon as possible and process it immediately if you

do not have access to a large cooler. Recipes are readily available

on the Internet as well as in the 2021 Black Bear Hunting

Guide which is available on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife

website.

Scott recommends that hunters refrain from shooting a bear

with cubs as well as bears observed in groups as they are usually

made up of sows with cubs.

Federal stamps are sold at post offices, federal refuges and on

the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service website https://www.fws.

gov/birds/get-involved/duck-stamp.php. Vermont duck

stamps can be added to your hunting license on Vermont Fish

& Wildlife’s website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com) and

through license agents. The hunter must sign the federal duck

stamp.

All migratory game bird hunters must also be registered

with the Harvest Information Program (H.I.P.). This can be

done on Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s website or by calling

toll-free 1-877-306-7091. After providing some basic information,

you will receive your annual H.I.P. registration number,

which you then need to record on your hunting license.

A printable copy of migratory bird hunting regulations can

be downloaded from the Vermont Fish and Wildlife website

under “Hunt” – “Waterfowl.” A printed version will also be

available from license agents and post offices.

A New Voice For Families from the Hills of Vermont

“His music beguiles. He creates spaces into which one falls

fully and gratefully. Raphael creates musical worlds that one

longs to visit.” – Will Ackerman, GRAMMY-winning guitarist,

producer, and founder of Windham Hill Records

Happily Ever Now, the first album for children and families

from Vermont’s critically acclaimed musician and composer

Raphael Groten (a.k.a “G’Raph”), is dedicated to the cultivation

of kindness, joy, love, living in the present moment, and

the art of having fun NOW! Happily Ever Now will be released

on October 1, 2021.

At the root of Raphael Groten’s longstanding vision and

two decades of work as a music educator echoes the question,

“Why wait for the ultimate line of the story, ‘happily ever after,’

to get happy?” The time to come alive is now. Happily

Ever Now is a musical anthology of the moment, with songs

of health, humility, and adventure, along with a grand dose of

downright silliness.

Embracing styles that range from folk, blues, soul, and rock,

to funk, reggae/ska, country, and world, Happily Ever Now

takes the listener on an excursion with a delight around every

bend in the road. A highlight is the title track, which celebrates

the most important teaching of the album, to be fully present

in each moment. In the universal mode of the folk-tale tradition,

the lyrics journey from G’Raph’s youth to adulthood and

reconstruct the central epiphany of his life – the value of living

“Happily Ever Now.”

Some performers use everything but the “kitchen sink,”

some even include the kitchen sink, but G’Raph goes even further

in his “smooth groove” soul-funk album opener, “Hands

in the Water,” when he adds the bathroom sink to the mix.

G’Raph’s upside-down, inside-out way of looking at life is

captured in “I Can Eat a Rainbow,” which bops along with

quixotic alacrity and introduces a brave new world of gustatory

distinction. In the world of G’Raph, a song like this requires

a sonic panorama that includes his plates, silverware,

and toaster, along with steel string guitar, cavaquinho, kalimba,

bass, djembe, cowbell, shaker, cajón, bells, gong, triangle,

zinger toy, and vocal hi-hat.

The gentle lullaby “I Love You Baby,” written for G’Raph’s

first son, is also a tip of the aph hat to his love of old-time

jazz. Here, he not only retains his childlike sense of wonder,

but also uses his childhood wood blocks and baby rattle. “I’m

Not pErfect” honors G’Raph’s folk/country music roots and

follows the idea of Mozart’s “Musical Joke,” using imperfections

like wrong chords and cracked vocal tones that will have

listeners of all ages rolling in the aisles while kids learn essential

life-lessons about imperfection and humility.

About Raphael Groten

Raphael Groten was born in 1973 into a true music-loving

environment. From happy times singing with the family on

long car trips, to his father’s harpsichord study, to the ubiquitous

presence of multiple guitars during holiday gatherings,

there always seemed to be something musical going on. Raphael

picked up alto sax when he joined the school band in

the 4th grade and tenor sax for grades 7 through 10. He added

guitar at age , learning basic chords and finger-picking from

his mother and sister. While still in high school, he became immersed

in folk music, composing over 100 songs by the end of

• • •

• • •

• • •

his freshman year in college, often collaborating with friends

on lyrics. Raphael progressed to formal studies at the University

of Vermont, where he majored in philosophy and minored

in music. After graduation, he launched a ten-piece Latin/jazz/

funk ensemble, Saudade. The group performed extensively

during the late ’90s in Burlington, Vermont, and released two

albums of Raphael’s own compositions.

Even as Raphael was experiencing success with his band,

something began to stir inside him that summoned him to see

what he could do to effect a positive change in the world. In

, hile taking a holistic health class, he met his first shamanic

teacher. She re-entered his life as a healer and teacher in

2002 after his four-month-old son was involved in a near fatal

accident. Raphael became increasingly aware of the healing

poer of sound as he played guitar for his son during his first

night in intensive care and the following day, when a therapeutic

harpist played for his family. It was in these moments that

Raphael was propelled to compose, perform, and eventually

record intentional healing music.

Alongside his work with sound healing, Raphael began sharing

his love of music. This started as a private guitar teacher

and soon included class lessons. For the past two decades he

has worked in schools and libraries with children ranging from

infants to 8th graders. Inspired by observing the growth of his

own boys and by his training in the work of Maria Montessori,

Raphael began, in 2004, to compose music for children and

families. his first family music release, Happily Ever Now, is

a testament to his dedication to consciousness and fun.

Raphael Groten’s previous albums for adults include the

highly praised Star Lullaby (2019) and Journey Home (2015),

both in the New Age acoustic genre. He will release Potential,

an album in the World Groove genre, in September 2021.

Happily Ever Now will be available at www.raphaelgroten.

sold online.

Chandler Center for the Arts is Pleased to Announce:

The New World Festival returns! This year’s 29th NWF

will assume nearly normal proportions after last year’s festival,

which was forced by COVID to be a smaller and primarily

live streamed event. The NWF will once again bring

the unique musical style of Celtic and French-Canadian/Quebecois

music and dance to Randolph on Labor Day Sunday,

September 5.

NWF is one of Vermont’s most beloved, family-friendly

festivals for all ages. The gates open at noon for food vendor

sales, and four stages of live entertainment will begin at 1PM.

This year, the last dance in the large dance tent, will feature

internationally renowned Le Vent Du Nord, and will go until

11PM. The festival pass includes access to music, dance, the

food and beverage vendors, family entertainment and kids’

crafts. NWF has been designated a “Time-Honored, Top Ten

Fall Event” by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce in recognition

of having received this award more than ten times.

More than 30 performers from the U.S. and Canada will

make music all afternoon and evening in covered tents, inside

Bethany Church, and in the Chandler Center for the Arts. The

570-seat Chandler Music Hall is widely recognized as one of

the acoustically finest performance spaces in e ngland.

Randolph’s picturesque Main Street in front of Chandler will

be lined ith vendors, and ill be closed to traffic, alloing

safe access for families and kids to all the festival areas. Festival-going

kids, ages 11 and under are free, and teen tickets for

ages 12-18 are only $12.

NWF was founded nearly 3 decades ago with the recognition

that northern New England, Québec, and Canada’s Maritime

Provinces, even though they speak different languages,

share a lively cultural heritage brought from the Old World—

Ireland, Scotland, and France. Performers and audiences alike

have been thrilled with the magic that happens when these

unique musical traditions meld in one celebratory festival.

The musicians at NWF come in a dizzying variety of ages

and styles: A repeat-festival favorite, internationally renowned

Le Vent Du Nord, headlines this year and the Scottish band

Cantrip also returns, as well as a long list of other talented New

Englanders who have appeared at Chandler or the New World

estival in other configurations such as accordionist eremiah

McLane, who will appear this year with his band Triton.

There’s Katie Mcnally & Neil Pearlman who embody the

vibrant musical traditions of Scotland and Cape Breton. Based

in Portland, ME, this young musical couple is making waves

internationally with their fresh approaches to traditional

forms. Katie McNally has already made her mark on Scottish

music in North America and her 2020 release “Now More

Than Ever” has been praised as ground-breaking on both sides

of the Atlantic. Katie has performed in the US and abroad at

Celtic Connections, Celtic Colours, the Newport Folk Festival,

and The Festival of American Fiddle Tunes. Neil is recognized

in many Celtic music circles for his unique approach

to the piano. Rooted in traditional Cape Breton piano styles,

Neil brings in ideas from many other genres and the result is

an exciting new sound that remains true to its traditional roots.

And there is Yann Falquet, a creative acoustic guitar player,

who is very active on the Québécois music scene. He has explored

many styles of music, and though he has a Bachelors

degree in a, he has developed a personal guitar style for

Québec folk music, inspired by the playing of the accompanists

of different cultures (Brittany, Scandinavia, Ireland,

North America). His involvement in the province’s traditional

music scene has brought Yann to perform on numerous recordings,

and to tour regularly throughout Canada, the U.S.,

Europe and Australia with his main project (and prior NWF

performers) Genticorum. He also toured for three years with

the award winning Celtic and world group The McDades.

or the past years rookfield resident, evin unwoody,

has been the primary programmer of the festival.

His love of this genre of music, his knowledge of both the

upcoming superstars, as well as the well-known Celtic folk

favorites, have kept the festival both traditionally grounded

and groundbreakingly current. But it is Dunwoody’s generous

gift of time (he’s never been paid to do the programming) that

has allowed for the ongoing incubation of young talent, and

gained the festival a reputation as a performer-centric celebration

of these particular musical traditions.

One of Dunwoody’s favorites this year is the Séamus Egan

Project. It’s hard to think of an artist in traditional Irish music

• • •

more influential than amus gan. rom his beginnings as a

teen prodigy, to his groundbreaking solo work with Shanachie

Records, to his founding of Irish-American powerhouse band

Solas, to his current work as one of the leading composers

and interpreters of the tradition, Egan has inspired multiple

generations of musicians and helped define the sound of rish

music today. As a multi-instrumentalist, he’s put his mark on

the sound of the rish flute, tenor bano, guitar, mandolin, tin

whistle, and low whistle, among others. Growing up under

the wing of powerful elder musicians, Egan’s always paid

homage to his roots, but he’s thought of these roots less as a

heritage and more as a universal language to be shared. oining

the Séamus Egan Project is: Owen Marshall, native Vermonter,

who with the music traditions of Quebec and Nova

Scotia just over the border from his home and the strong Irish

musical scene of Boston to the south, Owen was immersed

in the textures and sounds of Celtic music from an early age.

A guitar/mandolin/banjo player, Owen is in demand at music

camps throughout New England and the U.S.

Dunwoody also speaks about the importance of how this

festival has nurtured an entire generation of up-and-coming

musical talents, and kept the interest in traditional Celtic folk

music alive in the region. Case in point is the Young Traditions

Touring Group Commission, who will play the festival,

many of them already multi-festival performance alumni.

Festivals like NWF (most of which are in Canada) introduce

young musicians to this musical style, and then provide

them with a supportive space in which they can make connections

and learn from the masters of these traditions. One

such eample is en ennedy, a siteen-year-old fiddler

from Maine, whose love of traditional music and enthusiasm

for performing has captivated audiences from Cape Breton to

San Diego to the Shetland Islands and all over Maine. Though

young, Kennedy is a seasoned performer, who has opened

for Pete’s Posse and an Acadia Trad Festival concert in Bar

Harbor, and has shared the stage with Natalie MacMaster &

Donnell Leahy, The Outside Track, Genticorum, and Andrea

Beaton & Troy MacGillivray.

Other NWF performers this year include: Dominique

Dodge, Emerald Rae, Anothony Santoro, Scott Lemire, Midnight

Capers and On the Border.

Especially popular at NWF are the mixed group musician

“sessions”, in which the headlining musicians get together

and informally play with the other scheduled musicians who

share their love for these traditions. There have always been

Scottish, Irish, and Quebecois sessions as part of the NWF

vibe and this year, with so much distance and isolation from

Covid, festival organizers expect an increased desire for all of

these musicians to want to play with the others in a celebratory

ay to the great benefit to the attendees ho get to hear

what comes when these top performers get to jam and let their

hair down.

But the audience has a lot more to do than just listen. During

the daytime, one entire tent is set aside for children and

families. Besides chalk drawing, face-painting and other

crafts there will be a Young Musicians Showcase, and lots of

laughs with Randolph’s supremely talented “No Strings Marionettes,”

who are guaranteed to delight audiences with their

puppets, storytelling, and other antics.

The biggest outdoor venue is the dance tent, where various

kinds of dances, from called contras, to balfolk dance from

Cape Breton, to freestyle dance events will be accompanied

by the festival’s bands, with Le Vent Du Nord playing for the

night’s last joyous, freestyle dance.

Next door to the dance tent is a food tent including tasty offerings

from local food trucks, churches and other non-profit

organizations. Local Vermont beer from Upper Pass Brewery

is on the menu as well. NWF is handicapped-accessible, and

the Chandler is equipped with assisted listening devices. A

livestream access link will be included with every ticket purchased

in case audience members can’t attend the in-person

event.

Advance sale discounted tickets will be available through

midnight, Friday August 26. They can be ordered on website

or purchased through the handler bo office at --

x103.

available on the Chandler website chandler-arts.org or the festival

Vermont Folklife Center Offers

Apprenticeship Stipends

The Vermont Folklife Center is pleased to announce the 29th

year of the Vermont Traditional Arts Apprenticeship Program

(VTAAP). With funding from the National Endowment for the

Arts, the Center initiated the program in 1992 to support the

continued vitality of Vermont’s living cultural heritage.

In partnership with the Vermont Arts Council, VTAAP provides

stipends of up to $2,000 to master artist and apprentice

pairs to cover time, materials, and travel expenses. Under the

auspices of the program, traditional arts including Burundian

women’s dancing, American hand-weaving, blacksmithing,

e ngland style fiddling and epali sarangi playing have

received support. 2021 applications from master artist and apprentice

pairs will be accepted through September 3rd.

A traditional arts apprenticeship brings teachers and learners

together who share a commitment to sustaining these art

forms. It pairs a community-recognized master artist who

has achieved a high level of expertise in their art form with a

less-experienced apprentice. The master artist and apprentice

jointly plan when, where and what they expect to accomplish

during the apprenticeship. pprenticeship schedules reflect

the time constraints of both master and apprentice, and range

from short-term, intensive sessions to meetings spread over

a year.

More than apprenticeships supported during the first

years of the program represent a broad spectrum, from the arts

and cultural practices of Abenaki, Yankee, and Franco-American

regional cultures, to the arts of Somali Bantu, Tibetan,

Bosnian, Bhutanese Nepali and other communities from immigrant

and refugee backgrounds.

Information and application forms for the Vermont Traditional

Arts Apprenticeship Program are available from the

Vermont Folklife Center, 88 Main Street, Middlebury, VT

05753, (802) 388-4964 or online at https://www.vermontfolklifecenter.org/traditional-arts-apprenticeship/.

The deadline for applications for this year’s program is September

3, 2021.

With Multiple Expanded Federal Unemployment Benefits Set to

Expire by September 6, 2021, Department of Labor Increases

Outreach and Assistance

The Vermont Department of Labor is reminding claimants

the federal expansion of unemployment insurance benefits

created under the CARES Act will end September 6, 2021.

This includes Pandemic Unemployment Assistance (PUA),

Federal Pandemic Unemployment Compensation (FPUC),

and Pandemic Emergency Unemployment Compensation

(PEUC). The Department will be increasing outreach and

assistance to help claimants transition into the workforce or

find training or educational opportunities.

“The federal CARES Act programs played an important

role in providing temporary assistance to make sure Vermont

workers were supported during a time of great uncertainty

throughout the last seventeen months,” said Commissioner

Michael Harrington. “Since March 2020, the Department has

issued over 2.3 million unique benefit payments to more than

100,000 Vermonters totaling over $1.7 billion.”

The week that ends September 4 will mark the final week

for CARES Act programs. This means claimants will collect

their final CARES Act benefits the week of September 5 - 10,

when they file their weekly claim – for those in PUA and

PEUC, this will be their last weekly claim.

The conclusion of the federal program will affect the

roughly 12,000 claimants filing in PUA and PEUC who will

no longer be eligible to file for benefits. This will also affect

the 5,500 claimants currently in regular unemployment insurance

(those in their initial 26 weeks of filing) but to a different

degree. Those individuals will continue to collect benefits as

they are eligible under regular unemployment, but they will

no longer see the FPUC supplement, which provided an additional

$300 per week.

“As these federal programs end, we know we have more

work to do. The Department, and especially our Workforce

Development team, are already connecting with claimants

and employers to help people get back into the workforce and

minimize the impact of this change in benefits”, said

Harrington.

The Department has continued to connect with unemployment

insurance claimants through direct email and phone

outreach to provide information on how the end of federal

benefits will impact them, as well as what workforce development

support services are available to assist them with reemployment.

Workforce Development team members are located at Job

Centers now open for expanded hours across the state and are

available for both virtual and in-person career consultations.

Local career specialists can assist jobseekers in finding career

and training opportunities, as well as employers looking for

talent through job promotion, hiring events, and applicant

referrals. Local and statewide teams continue to hold weekly

virtual workshops and events, including sessions on resume

writing, re-employment strategies, and virtual job fairs. Learn

more at Labor.Vermont.gov/Jobs.

For more information on the Department of Labor, including

additional details on the impact of the end of CARES Act

programs and resources available to those impacted, please

Teachers’ Retirement Board Negotiates Lower Costs and

Enhanced Health Care Benefits for Retirees with Medicare

Jon Harris, Chair of the Vermont State Teachers’ Retirement

System (VSTRS) Board, announced that after a rigorous bid

process, the Board selected Vermont Blue Advantage (VBA)

to deliver Medicare Advantage health insurance for VSTRS

retirees with Medicare. “The reason for the change is simple

– it allows us to closely match the benefits provided to

Medicare-eligible members and provide significant enhancements,

including a new vision and hearing benefit, at reduced

premium averaging between 30% and 40%.”

The VSTRS Board is responsible for providing Vermont’s

retired teachers with access to high quality health insurance.

Historically, health insurance has been provided through a

partnership with the Vermont Education Health Initiative, or

VEHI, to all retired teachers. This year, VEHI partnered with

VBA and submitted a joint bid in which VEHI will continue

to provide health insurance to VSTRS’s non-Medicare retired

teachers through the same group health plans as are in place

today, and VBA will provide health insurance to Medicareeligible

retirees through Medicare Advantage plans.

Vermont State Treasurer Beth Pearce noted: “I am pleased

to join Chair Harris in announcing that in concert with

Treasury staff, the VSTRS Board found and selected a plan

option that will not only offer familiar benefit features at a

significantly lower cost per month to Medicare-eligible retirees,

but will also add new benefits, enhance telehealth and

preventive care, and offer extensive provider choice. This

amounts to great health care services and more money in

retirees’ pockets.”

• • •

• • •

“I welcome members of VSTRS with Medicare,” says Pam

Getsie, Plan President of Vermont Blue Advantage. “The customized

plans bring VSTRS retirees and their dependents

with Medicare the health care advantages they have earned

and deserve, and the unmatched confidence that comes from

carrying a BlueCross® BlueShield® card in your wallet.”

“I am pleased that we can offer a high-quality Medicare

Advantage plan to the retired teachers and employees of our

public schools, while substantially reducing VSTRS’ health

care costs,” said Don George, President and CEO of Blue

Cross. “This is precisely why we formed Vermont Blue

Advantage: to deliver excellent products that offer peace of

mind and savings to our long-term client partners and their

retirees.”

Mark Hage and Bobby-Jo Salls, Trust Administrators for

VEHI, said, “VEHI has proudly served the retired members

and their dependents in VSTRS for two decades. The VEHI

team is pleased that we can continue to serve the non-Medicare

retirees and their families and VSTRS as Medicareeligible

members transition to Medicare Advantage plans.”

The new plans will take effect on January 1, 2022. Over the

course of the next few months, retired members will be

Vaccine Mandate: Half of Vermont Employees Think it Should Be

Mandatory to Disclose Your Vaccine Status at Work, Reveals Poll.

Although there is no legal obligation to share your vaccination

status with everyone who may ask, this information

might be required in certain circumstances. In a similar way

that schools ask for details about childhood vaccinations,

companies might inquire about employees’ vaccine status as a

matter of health and safety for other people who work in the

workplace. Even though vaccinated employees are less likely

to get seriously ill, it’s still possible for them to become

infected with the coronavirus as they return to the workplace.

iprospectcheck.com, a background check and screening

solution company, conducted a survey (3,000 employees) and

found that almost half (47%) of Vermont employees think it

should be a mandatory requirement to disclose your vaccine

status to your employer. This compares to a national average

of 57%.

Those in Massachusetts and Hawaii were most supportive

of this idea, with 79% of employees here saying improper

disclosure of vaccine status should result in disciplinary

action. By comparison, employees in Louisiana seemed

slightly more apprehensive of disclosing this information at

work, but 31% were still in agreement.

It appears many employees take the disclosure of vaccine

status very seriously as nearly half (42%) say they should

have the right to take legal action against their employer if

there are inadequate safeguards against unvaccinated colleagues

at work. Nearly 1 in 5 (16%) even believe improper

disclosure of vaccine status should lead to disciplinary action

up to and including termination of the employee. 14% think

improper disclosure should lead to employee suspension.

• • •

To maintain a high level of safety, over half (55%) of

employees think it should be mandatory for all staff to take

daily COVID tests in the workplace as a precaution.

Lastly, it was also found that 42% of employees would be

more concerned about sharing a workplace with an unvaccinated

colleague than one who has a lengthy criminal record.

“The idea of being required to disclose one’s vaccine status

to an employer can be a contentious one. However, as

employers begin to require employees to return to the office,

the health and safety of all employees is a very high priority

for employers.” says Matthew Rodgers, President of iprospectcheck.

Health Department Investigating COVID-19 Outbreak

Involving Waterbury Day Camp

The Vermont Department of Health is investigating an outbreak

of COVID-19 at a Waterbury Parks and Recreation Day

camp. Thirteen campers, most of whom are under the age of

12, and therefore unvaccinated, have tested positive. No

instances of severe illness among campers or staff have been

reported.

There are approximately 127 children who attend the camp.

Contact tracing is in progress, and everyone impacted is

receiving appropriate guidance and information, including

about getting tested and any needed quarantine and isolation.

Camp staff and town officials have been working with the

department to keep camp families and staff informed.

Because of the potential number of exposures, health officials

said there may have been multiple opportunities for

exposure in the community. For this reason, the Health

Governor Phil Scott announced that cities, towns and villages

expecting to receive American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)

Local Fiscal Recovery (ARPA-LRF) funds should receive

their payments in the next few days. The State disbursed the

first payment of $29 million in ARPA-LRF to 274 eligible

local governments August 9.

As the result of grants of State fiscal recovery ARPA funds

to the Vermont League of Cities and Towns (VLCT) and

Vermont’s 11 regional planning commissions, the

Administration has benefited from coordinated outreach to

eligible communities over the course of the last several

months. Every municipality responded through the certification

process within a very short timeline to ensure a speedy

disbursement of the funds.

“These local recovery funds, and the additional county

money that has been reallocated to our cities, towns and villages,

provides an incredible opportunity for the State to team

with local partners to make transformative investments,” said

Governor Scott. “My administration looks forward to working

with our many partners, including the VLCT and the regional

planning commissions, to maximize ARPA funds on critical

housing, broadband, water & sewer infrastructure, climate

change initiatives and economic growth that builds us a strong

foundation for our future.”

The U.S. Treasury is required to distribute these funds to

the States for distribution to local governments in two equal

payments. The $29 million distributed represents the first of

these two payments, or 50% of the total $58 million of local

Gran Torino (2008)

One time, someone accused my wife of being anti-Semitic

based on a silly joke about money she had made. In

response, my wife pointed out that she is married to a Jewish

guy. To me, that is an ironclad defense. Actions speak louder

than words.

Clint Eastwood tackled this topic with heart and verve in

“Gran Torino,” his last truly great film.

78-year-old Eastwood stars as Walt Kowalski. Walt is a

Korean War vet and recent widower. Now he lives alone in a

Detroit neighborhood where he is suddenly a minority of one.

Walt hates the priest who is trying to get him to go to

church. “I think you’re an overeducated virgin who likes to

hold the hands of old ladies and promise them eternity.”

Walt hates his children and especially his grandchildren.

And Walt hates his neighbors. He can hardly get through a

sentence about them without using an anti-Asian racial slur.

Most of Walt’s neighbors are Hmong. The Hmong are a

Southeast Asian mountain people who sided with the US during

the Vietnam Conflict. Facing persecution after the war,

they fled to America by the tens of thousands.

The action begins when a car full of Hmong gang members

show up to force Walt’s next door neighbor Thao to join them.

Armed with a steely fearlessness and his M1 Garand rifle,

Walt scares the ruffians away.

To his dismay, the brave act makes Walt Kowalski a hero

among his peace-loving neighbors.

To his surprise, he discovers that he actually likes Thao and

his plucky sister Sue. He ends up spending most of his time

with them. The relationship between Walt, Sue, and Thao is

sweet and heartwarming. And to his credit, Mr. Eastwood

never gives in to the White Savior narrative. The teens save

Walt every bit as much as he saves them.

Walt never stops spouting racial slurs. And he never stops

calling Thao’s girlfriend “Yum Yum” because he can’t be

bothered to learn her actual name. But to my ears, the slurs

Department is recommending that people who may have had

contact with someone associated with the camp monitor

themselves and their children for symptoms, and to consider

getting tested for the virus and isolating at home while awaiting

their results.

Testing at the Waterbury EMS station located at 1727

Guptil Road in Waterbury Center was scheduled for Saturday,

Aug. 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. and Sunday, Aug. 8 from

9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. Testing locations throughout Vermont

can be found at healthvermont.gov/covid-19/testing.

Being tested is the only way to know if you have been

infected with the COVID-19 virus, and testing is recommended

regardless of vaccination status.

vaccination and testing sites, visit healthvermont.gov/covid19.

funds. Funds are distributed to eligible cities, towns and villages

based on a formula established in ARPA, so long as the

award does not exceed 75% of the municipality’s budget in

effect on January 27, 2020.

The VLCT and Vermont’s 13 regional planning commissions

have also assisted cities, towns and villages with navigating

federal rules related to the ARPA-LRF through webinars,

a dedicated email address for inquiries, an ARPA

resource webpage, in-person and virtual meetings, and steady

communication through multiple channels. VLCT and the

regional planning commissions will continue to work with all

municipalities throughout the award period to ensure they

have the resources they will need to successfully plan, execute

and report out on their projects and comply with all requirements

of the Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Funding.

On August 5, Vermont also received over $60 million of

funds which will be distributed to the same 274 municipalities,

as well as Burlington and South Burlington within the

next 30 days. This amount represents 50% of the $121 million

of county funds to be redistributed to municipalities due to a

special rule established in ARPA that redirects county funds to

units of general local government that have limited government

purposes, such as in Vermont. Payments will be processed

over the next several weeks and no additional action is

required from municipalities, except for Burlington and South

Burlington.

begin to sound more affectionate and less vicious as the film

goes on.

To be sure, Walt would have been a better man if he had

stopped using racial slurs altogether. Words can be hurtful

even there is no hateful intent behind them. But this isn’t a

Disney movie. In real life, there is a limit to how much a person

is likely to change. And Eastwood is arguing that you can

be an insensitive old jerk without being an unforgivable racist.

The only people Walt loves in the whole world are Hmong-

Americans. How racist against Asians can he be?

Even back in relatively un-Woke 2008, some of Clint

Eastwood’s showbiz colleagues accused him of making a racist

movie. It’s a truly absurd accusation. Mr. Eastwood made

a film that features mostly non-white actors and has a plot that

centers on issues that affect the Hmong community.

Hollywood had a solid century to make a movie about the

Hmong but no one got around to it until Mr. Eastwood. I have

a sneaking suspicion that most of the Hollywood haters had

never even heard of the Hmong people until “Gran Torino.”

If a man should be judged by the most offensive slurs that

he uses, Walt Kowalski is a monster. If a man should be

judged by his actions, he is a hero. When he gives his life to

help his Hmong friends, Walt certainly won me over. Actions

speak louder than words.

Going Back to the Classroom

Many students spent all or part of the 2020-21 school

year in online classrooms.

The new school year means more of those

kids are going to back to brick-and-mortar

learning, albeit with some extra precautions

as the COVID-19 pandemic waxes and

wanes around the country.

As tough as the transition was to digital

learning, the transition back to school may

be even more difficult. ome students may

have picked up a little extra anxiety about

returning to a crowded classroom.

TALK ABOUT ANXIETY

Well in advance of returning to school,

talk to your children about what worries

them about returning to in-person learning.

Ask questions such as:

• What are you looking forward to most?

• What are you looking forward to least?

• What are you concerned about?

Don’t discount their fears. Hear them out

and give them a safe space to share what’s

on their mind.

PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT

Review the school’s safety protocols and

rules with your child so that they know what

to expect. Have them consider what to do if

their mask falls off or what will happen if

a classmates falls ill. Also get them used to

different routines.

For instance, your child’s school may be

eating lunch in the classroom instead of in

the cafeteria, or they may be doing physical

education in a different way. Talk to them

about all the eventualities they may encounter

and let them know that, no matter what,

they’re going to be OK.

CHECK ON MENTAL HEALTH

Get in the habit of regularly checking in

on your child’s mental health before they

return to school. Once school and the chaos

of scheduling hits, it’s good to already be

in the habit of looking in, and, on their end,

they know they can talk to you anytime,

about anything.

STAY FLEXIBLE AND ADAPTABLE

It’s not going to get back to normal

overnight, if ever. eep some fleibility and

adaptability when it comes to your student.

Know that their grades, abilities and interests

may have changed during the pandemic and

be ready to accept that.

Things are different now, remember, for

them as well as for you. Give yourself both

some grace.

ABCs of Kindergarten Readiness

With back to school season right around

the corner, parents of 5-year-olds often ask

me whether their child is really ready to enter

kindergarten or if they should wait another

year to give them a better start.

There is no uniform time or standard by

which a child should be considered for kindergarten.

Instead the decision is really based

on a child’s developmental readiness. If your

child is developmentally ready, there is no

data to suggest that waiting an extra year for

your child to start gives them any kind of

advantage. o hat are some of the key kindergarten

readiness skills?

Language basics

From a language standpoint, a child entering

kindergarten should be able to ask a question,

know their name address and phone

number, tell a story, express a need and follow

a three-step set of directions such as go

to your room, get your sneakers, and turn off

the light.

Motor development guidelines

From a motor or movement standpoint,

most children ready for kindergarten should

be able to stand on one foot for 5-7 seconds,

and more importantly use scissors to cut a

line on a piece of paper, use zippers and buttons

and hold a pencil.

Cognitive skills

Cognitively or academically, it’s less

important for children to know their letters,

numbers and colors before starting kindergarten.

But, they should know simple comparisons

such as bigger or smaller and recognize

that there is a difference between similar

sounding words like hat and cat.

Social considerations

ocially they need to be comfortable in a

group, play well with others and be able to

stay on task for at least 10 minutes and hopefully

15. They should also be able to dress

themselves and go to the bathroom unassisted.If

your child meets these challenges and is

5 years of age or meets the minimal age

requirement for your school district, then they

are ready for the great adventure we call kindergarten.

Tips for Middle School

Ah, middle school. That time of raging hormones

For most parents (and kids), middle

school has gotten a bad rap for being, to put

it mildly, a difficult time in everyones life.

But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are

some tips from KidsHealth.org for making

the middle school years a success.

GET INVOLVED

A not-so-secret key to success in any

school is for the parents to be involved.

This means attending events like back-toschool

night and parent-teacher conferences

every time they’re offered. Get to know

your child’s teachers and administrators and

their expectations for life in middle school.

Establish clear channels of communication

to help give your student the support they

need for success.

VISIT THE SCHOOL

While you’re on campus, get to know the

physical layout of the school. Know where

important locations are like the front office,

the school nurses office, cafeteria, gym, athletic

fields, auditorium and any special use

spaces, like the media room or music room.

Also get to know the school’s online

presence. Get familiar with the website and

bookmark things like the school calendar,

special events pages, testing dates, grades

and homework assignments. Follow the

and existential crises.

school on social media, including any clubs or

athletics your child may be participating in.

HOMEWORK EXPECTATIONS

Middle school homework may be a little

more intense than your child was used to in

elementary school. Prepare your student to

devote more after-school time to completing

assignments. Make sure they have a

quiet, distraction-free place (yep, no phone

or TV) place to do homework and study,

and check on them from time to time to see

how they’re doing while they’re working.

Have regular talks with your student about

the work they’re doing in school and what

assignments are coming up to avoid lastminute

surprises.

FOSTER ORGANIZATION SKILLS

Organization skills have to be learned and

practiced. Help your child set up a system to

keep them on track in middle school. Have

them organize class information and assignments

in binders, notebooks or folders and

teach them how to use a calendar to track

how they’re spending their time. Include

non-academic commitments, too. Lists can

be an effective way to make sure everything

gets done. In addition to keeping a calendar,

have your child make lists of things they

need to do and prioritize them.

Taking on High School

High school means high stress, for both kids and parents.

GreatSchools.org talked to some recent graduates about

what advice they had for kids starting their freshman year

and here’s what they said.

GO FOR WHAT INTERESTS YOU

Pick extracurricular activities based on

what interests you, not on what your friends

may think or how it’ll look. “I was tempted

to join Mathletes but never did because of

the general unfavorable status,” said Bona

Kang, UC Berkeley. “Later I realized that

probably would have been a great experience.”

Whatever you choose, if you’re interested

in it, you’re likely to get more involved,

and that passion will shine through when it

comes to apply for college.

BOND WITH YOUR TEACHERS

Make the effort to really get to know your

teachers. Talk with them during their planning

period, after school or at lunch. They

can help you get through the toughest days

of high school and also with your college

application process.

BE YOURSELF

his is a corollary to the first one. ry not

to focus so much on what other people think

and, instead consider what makes you happy.

“Anyone can do anything with their

lives,” Alastair Brown, Cornell University,

said. tudents should not define themselves

by their place in high school.”

Take Practice Standardized Tests

SAT and ACT scores are more than just a

number. They’re an important part of getting

into the right school ith the right financial

aid. Take as many practice tests as you can.

Your school may even offer a special

study course for both tests that can help

fetch you a higher score.

YOU DON’T HAVE TO

DO IT ALL NOW

Take a deep breath. High school is full

of big decisions, but realize that not all of

them are permanent. Have a general plan for

your life, but also remember to be fleible

and adaptable. “What many students fail to

realize is that you can always change majors

or schools. There’s no shame in trying something

out and deciding it’s not for you,” Sera

Harold, University of San Francisco, said.

Lightening the Load of Children’s Backpacks

Health Tips for Parents:

Alcohol

If you store alcohol in the house, keep it out

of sight. A place that your teen doesn’t have

easy access to is best.

Teens who see their parents drinking are

more likely to experiment. Set a good example.

If you do drink alcohol in front of them,

make sure you’re also having open conversations

about the risks of underage use.

For more information: www.parentupvt.org

ou can find entral e irections

on the web at www.cvndc.org

With school starting up soon, parents seem

to be carrying a load of questions to me about

children and heavy backpacks, and whether

these packs can result in back problems in

their little ones. Let me back up and provide

some information on backpacks.

Weight and posture are key

There are some studies in high school and

college students that suggest that if an older

student carries a heavy load wearing only one

strap of their pack on their shoulder, then serious

neck, shoulder and back pain will result.

While no similar study has been done in

younger children, we can just look at them

and see that those who wear one shoulder

strap do alter their posture and gait, or how

they walk, and this can certainly make them

susceptible to getting back, shoulder and neck

discomfort.

That is why the American Academy of

Orthopedic Surgeons and the American

Physical Therapy Association recommend

that backpacks should contain no more than

10-15% of a child’s body weight.

Best backpack picks

The best kind of pack is one that is lightweight

and has two wide, padded straps to go

over the shoulders and that cannot dig into the

shoulders to cause nerve pain. A recommended

backpack has a padded waist or chest

belt to distribute weight more evenly, a padded

back so sharp objects do not poke through

to the back, and multiple compartments to

distribute the weight of the load. The width of

the pack should be no greater than the child’s

torso. In addition, a backpack should not hang

down more than four inches below the waist.

Remember to make sure your child uses both

shoulder straps.

In addition, I recommend that the heaviest

items be packed low in the pack and close to

the body to help balance the load.

Signs of overload

My rule of thumb is that if your child complains

of back, neck or shoulder pain during

the week, and it gets better over the weekend,

be suspicious of their backpack and make a

weight or shoulder strap adjustment or reduce

the weight content as necessary. I find that

removing overdue library books is an easy

way to reduce the weight load, not to mention

storing some of those heavy books in a locker

rather than carrying them around in a backpack

all day.

Hopefully tips like these will pack a powerful

punch – or should I say a nutritious

school lunch – when it comes to your children

wearing their backpacks appropriately.

Vermont Youth Take Over the State House for a Day

On Friday, July 30th, thanks to funding from the Summer

Matters for All grant program awarded to The Governor’s Institutes

of Vermont [GIV], eighteen young Vermonters were

given the opportunity to come together in-person at the VT

State House in Montpelier. There, they were received by Governor

Phil Scott, Lt. Governor Molly Gray, and a host of legislators

from around the state for a day of exchanging ideas and

creating real change.

“Students loved connecting with legislators and with both

our Governor and Lieutenant Governor at the State House,”

said Rep. Michelle Bos-Lun of Windham County. “They valued

getting to talk ith and be listened to by elected officials

from around our state. I expect we may have some future legislators

emerging out of this year’s student group!”

But they did more than just bend the ears of their legislators

these young ermonters also took the floor in the ouse

Chamber for a legislative simulation, proposing and debating

bills they developed over the course of GIV’s virtual 2021

Global Issues & Youth Action program. They voted on and

passed their bills addressing anti-racist education, compostable

silverware, and mental health services for incarcerated

individuals.

“We need you. We really need you. We need the next generation

at the table,” said Lt. Gov. Gray to students, who piled

into her office to discuss the climate and housing crises currently

facing Vermont. Gov. Scott added that, “Regardless

of our differences, we’re all team Vermont. And our young

people – all of you – are incredibly important members of

that team.”

tudents finished the day ith indelible smiles on their

faces, and a palpable excitement for the future lining every

“see you soon.”

“I attended the Governor’s Institute on Current Issues and

Youth Activism in 2005 as a Vermont high school student. It

as the first chance had to study current affairs and politics

in that way,” said community organizer and GIV staffer Aaron

Bos-Lun. “I do work now that started to become real to me

at GIV, and hope as many young people as possible can get

the same opportunity at a time when we need new voices in

politics more than ever.”

GIV’s one-day programs funded by the Summer Matters

grant will continue through August. Applications for GIV’s inperson

summer 2022 programs open in December. For more

information, please visit www.giv.org, or email info@giv.org

with any questions.

he overnors nstitutes of ermont is a c nonprofit

organization that welcomes business sponsorships and individual

donations to help fund GIV’s efforts to deliver high

quality programming to all interested Vermont students, regardless

of their familys finances. f you are in a position to

give, please call 802-865-4448 or visit www.giv.org/support.

Vermont Mutual Insurance Group

Awards Scholarship Grants

Vermont Mutual Insurance Group® recently awarded two

scholarship grants as part of their company’s scholarship program.

The scholarships were awarded to two students based

on entries submitted as part of the selection process. The companys

scholarship committee as tasked ith the difficult selection

decision based on personal essays submitted by several

students. From all of the entries submitted, two essays, one

from Molly Yacavoni and another from Nate Williams, were

selected.

“We could not be more pleased to award these grants to

two very deserving students” stated Dan Bridge, Vermont Mutual’s

President and CEO. Bridge continued “All of the entries

were very well received and so it was quite a challenge to

choose only two.”

Vice President of Human Resources, Susan Chicoine, remarked

“The topic of the essays was on the importance of

education and in what ways it will help prepare the student

for the future.” Chicoine added “While all of the students who

participated offered exceptional entries, Molly and Nate’s essays

really stood out to the committee. Nevertheless, the decision

as truly a difficult one to make.

to help the children and grandchildren of employees at Vermont

Mutual who are matriculated into a college, university,

or other higher education program. The company will issue a

check of $2,500 to each recipient with the only requirement

but not limited to: tuition, books, room and board, and

other applicable expenses related to their college, university

ARIES (March 21 to April

19) A troubling situation

takes a positive turn and

moves toward a resolution

that should please you and

your supporters. Meanwhile,

make time to deal with new domestic issues.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) It’s a good time to reassess

your goals and consider shifting directions. Remember to

keep an open mind and be prepared to make changes as

new opportunities arise.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Rely on your strong Mercury

aspect to help you close that communication gap before

it becomes too wide to cross. A sibling or other family

member has news.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) You’re about to get off that

emotional roller coaster and start experiencing more stability

than you’ve been used to. This is a good time to let

someone new into your life.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) Good news: A trusted friend

comes through for you. But you still need to shed that last

scrap of self-doubt and once more become the cool, confident

Cat we all know and love.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Things should be

getting back to a less hectic pace. Enjoy the more peaceful

atmosphere. You earned it. But don’t forget about those

still-unresolved issues.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A more positive

family relationship develops as misunderstandings are explained

away. A job situation appears promising, but check

it out before you act on it.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Congratulations.

That on-the-job situation is working out as you’d hoped.

Now’s a good time to relax and to enjoy the company of

family and close friends.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) You

might feel as if you’re caught in an emotional tug-of-war.

But don’t be rushed into a decision on either side. Wait for

more facts before you act.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) The Goat’s

usually high level of self-confidence is brimming over

these days. This should help you deal with a situation that

you’ve avoided for far too long. Go for it.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Relationships

become more intense. But be careful not to be pushed into

decisions you’re not comfortable with. Remember: You’re

the one in charge of your life.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You need to show

more confidence in your ability to reach your goals. Make

that long-delayed decision, and avoid floundering around

in a sea of self-doubt.

BORN THIS WEEK: Although you appear to be strongly

opinionated, you can also be open to other ideas -- so long

as they are presented with logic and clarity.

Chandler Center for the Arts is Pleased to Announce

its Summer Youth Musical: Bye Bye Birdie!

Aug. 22, 25 & 29, 2021

For 23 years, Chandler Center for the Arts has created a

Summer Youth Musical to entertain audiences over the Fourth

of July weekend. Last year, due to Covid, we had to cancel the

show. This year, it was too soon for the kids to sing together

indoors on the Chandler stage, but we found an innovative

workaround. 40+ kids have worked together over the past

month to film this years ummer outh Musical, ye ye

Birdie.

Bye Bye Birdie is a musical set in Sweet Apple, Ohio, in

. he story as inspired by the phenomenon of lvis

draft notice for the Korean War in 1957. This Tony-award-

inning roaday musical is filled ith fantastic dance

numbers, rock and roll crazed, star-struck teens, and lots of

small-ton humor and big laughs. his years director, ess

Holbrook, has helped highlight the comedy by setting the

show in 2021. “Bye Bye Birdie has a lot to say about idolizing

celebrities, and I wanted to invite the kids into that conversation

by looking at the show with a modern lens.”

The Summer Youth Musicals are always about creating an

enjoyable time for the kids, and even while following Covid

guidelines, kids were able to learn new skills, make friends,

and put together a great show! One of the kids, Sage, had this

to say, “I became part of a new family by working on the crew

of Bye Bye Birdie, and it inspired me to dig deeper into the

world of theater.” The actress Kiki said, “My favorite part

about doing a musical is probably how many layers there is

to it. heres lots of singing, and then the dancing and then

when you put it all together it makes something really incredible,

and thats really cool. think a lot of other kids should

get involved.”

ince handler filmed the sho this year, making the ummer

Youth Musical was a little different. The actor Tovhan

had this to say about filming, he fleibility, being able to

experiment with different things, different locations, being

able to blend different shots and angles to make a really cool

final product. ou barely kno youre actually doing theater,

youre hanging out, having fun, and at the end, you make

something cool. o it, its great, and come atch our cinematic

masterpiece!”

CLASSIFIEDS

Consider More Than Salary

If finding a higher salary is your driving force when searching for a

new position, you may be limiting your opportunities.

While a livable wage is certainly a consideration, it’s also wise to

ensure the work offers growth, benefits and a long-term outlook to

remain relevant. Here are some other factors to seek when making

a career change or entering the workforce.

Health Insurance

According to the Society for Human Resource Management, the

annual premiums for employer-sponsored family health coverage

reached $21,342 in 2020. Workers were responsible for paying

about $5,588 of the cost out of pocket. Finding an employer who

covers most of the premium can result in significant savings while

protecting you and your family’s health.

However, suppose you will be switching health care providers

by accepting a new position. In that case, you should ensure it’s

comparable with your current coverage.

In some instances, plans only allow a specific network of doctors

and facilities to oversee your medical needs. Another factor is that

if you have chronic health conditions and only have access to a highdeductible

plan, the costs could be considerable.

Advancement Opportunities

During an interview, you should be clear about your expectations

regarding advancing within the company and asking if there are

potential opportunities. Find out if the operation mostly fills empty

job openings from within by promoting current employees.

If so, it can bolster your motivation to excel in a position and

move up the ladder. Even if the entry-level position isn’t ideal, the

potential to further your role into more engaging jobs may lead to

higher salaries and significant perks.

Asking about advancement opportunities is also an efficient

strategy to show your hiring manager that you are committed to

exceeding expectations. Your dedication to excelling may be the

determining factor toward you getting the offer rather than another

candidate.

Work-Life Balance

Even if you are passionate about your career, it’s easy to become

exhausted after burning through overtime, working holidays and

missing out on family functions.

Find a position that provides you with enough time to work on

personal relationships and health while achieving a work-life balance.

The free time you spend on your personal life can re-energize your

workplace performance.

Company Culture

When you’re scheduling interviews for a potential career change,

research the company to ensure your mindsets are similar. You

can easily fi nd extensive knowledge about the businesses’ culture

by reviewing their website. Find out if they are passionate about

donating to charities that you support or if they are proactive when

providing for their community and team members.

Check out the social media pages of company leaders to discover

CEOs and managerial groups’ public personas. Find that your views

aren’t compatible? You should consider if the advantages of the jobs

outweigh the negative aspects.

Colleagues

Since you will spend a signifi cant amount of time in your work

environment, it’s essential to mesh with your co-workers. Ask about

the atmosphere regarding colleagues. Will you mostly be working

together and be given a chance to create a professional relationship?

Or does the occupation require a level of competition, where

getting along may be troublesome?

Buying Handcrafted Items

Selling from home doesn’t always mean used things out of your

garage laid out on the driveway. There are plenty of home sellers

that are taking matters into their own hands, selling homemade

Turn Your Hobby Into a Business

Your hobby might make you some extra cash.

Unique, handmade gifts are great sellers, either

as part of a regular garage sale or as an online

sale. Some hobbies that could turn you a profit

are woodworking, fabric arts like sewn or knitted

items, or making a small quantity of homemade

foods. Make sure you adhere to any local

ordinances and rules about selling homemade

goods from home, including rules for producing

food and paying sales tax.

Also remember to follow good marketing

principals. Word of mouth travels fast. Include

your name and a method of contact on all your

pieces that go to new homes. Get active on social

media and keep a careful lid on your costs. It’s

easy to go overboard.

Artisan Pricing

Remember that homemade goods may not

mean cheaper than store-bought. In many cases,

a handcrafted item will take much more skill

and many more hours to create than its massproduced

counterpart. So it follows that it will

cost more money. If you’re asking someone to

knit you a blanket, take into account not just the

materials the artist will need, but also the many

hours the item will take to create.

Looking for Unique Gifts

If you’re looking for unique arts and crafts,

turn to the homemade market. These sellers are

usually more word-of-mouth than brick-andmortar

shops. Also look for local boutiques that

carry a variety of local artisans or look for local

artists on sites like Etsy and Artfi re or at local art

fairs and events.

Some popular handcrafted gifts are:

• Baby and kids’ clothing and accessories.

• Knitted hats, blankets and scarves.

• Birdhouses, charcuterie boards, pens, knives and

other woodworking items.

• Tumblers and vinyl stickers.

• Furniture.

• Custom pieces for a local college or university.

• Jams and jellies.

• Candies.

• Breads and other baked goods.

PET OF THE WEEK

Mushu was surrendered to CVHS when her owner

was moving, and unable to take her along. Mushu is a

big feline, with a big personality and mitts to match!

She takes a while to come out of her shell, but then she

asks for loving attention, as long as you do not try to

pick her up. This girl wants to keep her feet on the floor

(or whatever surface SHE chooses). She has not been

around children, and would probably not appreciate

their energy. It's unclear how much exposure she had

to cats or dogs in her past life, but slow introductions

might work for her.

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

info@centralvermonthumane.org

Avoid drowsy driving incidents

Driving offers a sense of freedom that is hard to replicate. Is it any

wonder young drivers are so eager to get their licenses while older

drivers aim to hold on to them as long as they can?

Certain hazards come with getting behind

the wheel, though most are largely preventable

— including drowsy driving. As more

people take to the roadways this spring and

summer, it is important to remember that

drowsy driving is a major problem.

he ational ighay raffic afety dministration

estimates that as many as 6,000

fatal crashes each year may be attributed to

drosy drivers. he ational leep oundation

found about half of adult drivers in the

nited tates admit to consistently getting

behind the wheel while feeling drowsy. In

addition, more than 40 percent of survey respondents

say they have fallen asleep behind

the wheel at least once.

The impact of drowsiness on driving is

just as dangerous as driving while intoxicated,

distracted or under the influence of both

legal and illegal drugs.

• Reaction times are greatly reduced and

worsen the drowsier the driver becomes.

• Awareness of hazards and the ability to

sustain attention are diminished.

• Driving after being awake more than 20

hours without sleep is the equivalent of driving

with a blood-alcohol concentration of

0.08 percent.

he ational afety ouncil arns that

fatigued drivers are three more times more

likely to be in a car crash than drivers who

are not fatigued.

nsufficient sleep is tied to poor decisionmaking,

which can lead to risk-taking behind

the wheel.

ome drivers may not recognie they are

driving while drowsy. Drivers with certain

sleep disorders, such as obstructive sleep

apnea, may not recognize that their interrupted,

less restorative sleep can adversely

affect their safety behind the wheel. Addressing

sleep disorders can help drivers be more

safe. Other people may be sleep deprived

from working shift hours or taking care of

young children. Asking for help to catch

up on sleep can alleviate drowsiness when

behind the wheel.

Individuals can take additional steps to

make them less susceptible to drowsy driving.

• Avoid driving between midnight and 6 a.m.

or in the mid-afternoon when sleepiness

peaks, according to the leep oundation.

• Ask to change medications if they cause

drowsiness. Check to see if supplements list

drowsiness as reactions and avoid those that

do.

• Take breaks when driving long distances.

Travel with a driving partner who can share

the responsibility of driving.

Drowsy driving is a problem that can be

prevented. ut drivers must first recognie

the threat that drowsy driving can pose.
