Even in Vermont, You Still Need a Disaster Kit and Go-Bag,
Here’s What Should Be In It
By CompassVermont.com
Thankfully, the Green Mountain State is spared many of
the natural disasters that other parts of the country have to
contend with, wildfires being at the top of the list, but bad
things still happen, and even Vermonters need to be prepared.
The July flooding in Southern Vermont and the more extreme
weather during all seasons are reminders of how quickly
tragic circumstances can develop. Then there are rural
house fires, where too often, a hard-working volunteer fire
department can’t get to a home before it is destroyed.
The bottom line is that every Vermont household needs a
disaster kit and a go-bag packed and ready at all times. In the
article below, Brett Robertson provides the essential information
for assembling both kits regardless of where you live,
so feel free to share it with the people you love across the
country.
What goes into a disaster kit and go-bag Here’s a checklist
for everything from hurricanes to wildfires and other storms.
When disasters hit, they can mean days to weeks without
power, and sometimes they allow just enough time to grab
a bag of supplies and go. Now is the time to prepare, well
before the disaster is on your doorstep.
I study ways to improve disaster communications. Here’s
what you need to think about.
Know your area’s disaster risk
While some hazards, like windstorms, happen in every
region, certain disasters are more common in specific geographic
areas. It’s important to know your risks.
The American Red Cross has a tool for determining common
disasters in your area, like hurricanes along the ulf and
Atlantic Coasts from June through November, and wildfire
season in the west, that seems to last all year now but worsens
as winds pick up in late summer and fall. Each hazard
requires different preparation steps.
Figuring out the specific threats to your own home requires
more work. Homeowners are often unaware of just how susceptible
their property may be to flooding.
To figure out your basic risk, start with Federal Emergency
Management Agency flood maps, but be aware that new construction
can change how water flows and that flood risks are
rising as the planet warms, particularly along the coasts but
also from more extreme downpours. State and local emergency
management departments’ websites may also have tools
for reviewing localized hazard resources.
How to make an emergency supply kit
When a disaster strikes, you may have to get by without
power, safe running water or help for several days. An important
safety measure is to have emergency supplies on hand
and in a safe place where you can easily get to them.
A disaster supply kit contains basic items that your household
may need. Ready.gov, the .S. government’s disaster
preparedness website, suggests packing the following items:
Water: one gallon per person per day for several
days.
Food: at least a three-day supply of non-perishable
food, such as canned meats and fruits.
A battery-powered or hand-crank radio.
A flashlight.
A first-aid kit.
Plastic sheeting and duct tape that can help provide
protection.
Also: extra batteries, a whistle, dust masks, moist
towelettes, basic personal hygiene items, blankets,
extra clothing, garbage bags, a wrench or pliers, a
manual can opener, local maps and a cell phone
with chargers.
Some important additions
In addition to the items suggested by Ready.gov,
there are other considerations that are useful when creating a
supply kit.
For example, gather prescription medications and have an
up-to-date list of the medications everyone in the household
uses. This can be especially important for older adults and people
on a life-sustaining medical treatment. With the pandemic
ongoing, include extra face masks you might spend time in a
public disaster shelter.
Pet owners may also want to consider creating a separate
disaster supply kit for their animals. These supplies include
veterinary records, pet food and
a can opener, food and water
bowls and medications.
Battery packs and portable
SB power chargers are useful
additions for a disaster supply
kit when the power goes out.
When Hurricane Harvey flooded
in Houston in 2017, people
used their smartphones to post
pleas for help on social media.
Phone batteries can run down
quickly, though, so be prepared.
And make sure the portable
charger is charged and ready to
go
Ẇarnings and news reports
don’t always reflect the risks
at the edges of a storm or other
threats, so be prepared even if
you don’t appear to be in the
center of the forecast storm
track or expected direction of
the wildfire.
Grab and go
Several types of disasters
may require evacuating your
home, and you may only have a
few minutes to prepare. Having
emergency supplies ready to go
is important if you need to leave
right away.
These bags are different from
household disaster supply kits
because you might need to carry
the bag on foot.
Typically, you would include
food and water, a small batterypowered
or hand-crank radio, a
flashlight, extra batteries, a small
first-aid kit, copies of crucial
documents, local maps and a phone charger and battery pack.
Communication plans matter
Before a disaster forces you to move fast, make a plan for
where you could go. Find destinations in several different directions
in case one of the routes is blocked, and make sure everyone
in your household and your emergency contacts know
the plan.
Households should have conversations about disasters,
including discussing their evacuation plan, who to contact,

Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility Announces 2021 Awardees
Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility (VBSR) is
pleased to honor three outstanding individuals and businesses
who have demonstrated extraordinary leadership in
socially responsible business: Cindy Turcot of Gardener’s
Supply Company with the 2021 Terry Ehrich Award for
Lifetime Achievement, HELM Construction Solutions with
the VBSR Innovation and Inspiration Award, and Ashley
Reynolds of Elmore Mountain Therapeutics with the VBSR
Young Changemaker Award. Awardees were selected for
their achievements in championing new ideas and initiatives,
leading by example, and developing successful socially
responsible business models. Awards were given during the
20th Annual VBSR Awards Ceremony on October 12th at
Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes.
“For more than 30 years, VBSR has been transforming
what business looks like, how it works, and who benefits.
Our members are changemakers and innovators, with impact
reaching far beyond the marketplace to advance leadingedge
policy and practices, bolster communities, shape the
Vermont brand, and fuel the social responsibility movement,”
said VBSR’s Executive Director, Roxanne Vought.
“The Annual Awards Ceremony is a moment to celebrate the
inspiring business leaders among us who exemplify VBSR’s
vision of a just, thriving, and transformative economy that
works for all people and the planet.”
The Terry Ehrich Award for Lifetime Achievement honors
an outstanding individual in honor of Terry Ehrich, late
owner of Hemmings Motor News and a founding member of
VBSR’s Board of Directors. The award is given annually to
a person exemplifying Terry’s commitment to community,
the environment, progressive public policy, and the workplace.
Previous Terry Ehrich Awardees include Jen Kimmich
of The Alchemist, Ted Castle of Rhino Foods, and Ben
Cohen and Jerry Greenfield of Ben & Jerry’s.
Cindy Turcot is the CEO and President of Gardener’s
Supply Company. Cindy has been with Gardener’s since its
inception in 1983, starting in data entry and progressing
through many roles including Chief Operating Officer and
Chief Financial Officer. She has played a key role in creating
the company’s unique and innovative management style that
reinforces the emphasis on a triple bottom line – people,
planet, and profit.
“I am so honored to have been chosen for this award, with
so many visionary leaders who have won this award over the
years. I appreciate the recognition of my passion and advocacy
for employee ownership and wealth equality, on the
local and national fronts,” said Cindy Turcot. “I am grateful
to lead Gardener’s Supply as we strive to be a socially
responsible company through gardening, sustainability, and
innovative business practices.”
Vermont Businesses for
Social Responsibility
Gardener’s Supply is 100% employee owned through an
ESOP (Employee Stock Ownership Plan). Cindy was a key
player in transitioning the company from founder-owned to an
ESOP, and is a driving force for a strong employee ownership
culture. Nationally, she is well known for her commitment to
employee ownership, empowerment, and wealth equality. She
is a sought-after speaker on ownership culture, corporate governance,
and open book and participatory management practices.
HELM Construction Solutions is an innovative Vermontbased
firm providing business consulting, coaching, estimating,
project management, and specialized training to highperformance
design and build companies across the U.S. and
Canada. HELM’s purpose is to “revolutionize the construction
industry, centering the triple bottom line principles of planet,
people, and prosperity to become a catalyst for climate justice.”
HELM is a majority woman, trans, and non-binary
owned and operated company. They work to disrupt toxic
masculinity and advocate for the participation of women and
LGBTQIA people in the trades.
The VBSR Innovation and Inspiration Award is given to a
Vermont business who has recently accomplished an innovative
and/or inspirational achievement with not only economic
impact but social or environmental impact.
“HELM Construction Solutions is honored to be the recipient
of VBSR’s 2021 Innovation & Inspiration Award. As a
small business that focuses on the planet, people, and prosperity
within the construction industry, we are proud to be active
in an organization with so many shared values,” said Mel
Braiser, Strategic Director of HELM Construction Solutions.
“The education and advocacy that VBSR advances on behalf
of the member businesses is critical. We are particularly
moved by their leadership around centering Justice, Equity,
Diversity, and Inclusion in the effort to build more impactful
and resilient Vermont-based businesses.”
Ashley Reynolds, President and Co-Founder of Elmore
Mountain Therapeutics and her husband Colin established
their business in May of 2017 after Ashley’s personal struggle
with postpartum anxiety. Finding relief through the use of
CBD, Ashley saw a need for cannabis advocation to all.
Reynolds believes the strong household decision makers of
the world stand to benefit the most from the use of cannabis
and has worked tirelessly empowering women to make smart,
safe decisions around cannabis use. A Tedtalk presenter,
“Cannabis – A Future Without Stigma,” she has recently been
appointed by Speaker of the House Jill Krowinski to the
Vermont Cannabis Control Advisory Committee.
The VBSR Young Changemaker Award recognizes an individual
under age 40 who has led the formation of a socially
responsible enterprise that has been in operation three or more
years. The award seeks to recognize both entrepreneurs and
those that have led change within Vermont companies and
organizations.
“With the legalization of an adult-use cannabis market,
Vermont is on the verge of a significant agricultural revolution
and economic opportunity. In this moment lies the rare potential
to incorporate socially responsible business practices into
an industry from its inception,” said Ashley Reynolds.
“Elmore Mountain Therapeutics is immensely grateful for
VBSR’s recognition of our mission to support well-being,
economic development, social justice and environmental sustainability.
This acceptance and support will be critical in
ensuring Vermont’s cannabis future is just, green, and equitable.”
VBSR’s 20th Annual Awards Ceremony was held on
Tuesday, October 12th at Basin Harbor Club in Vergennes.
This year’s event took place outdoors, on the shore of Lake
Champlain at sunset. Registration and more details may be

Gifford Gifted CuddleCot through
Scarlet’s Mission
Katie Irwin and Jim
McGonigal don’t want any
parent to go through what
they did more than six years
ago. Their daughter Scarlet
Suzy McGonigal was stillborn
and the Woodbridge, CT
couple didn’t have the proper
amount of time to spend with
her and process their grief.
Following that experience,
ior i n
Ellen Fox
Katie and Jim created
Scarlet’s Mission, donating
CuddleCots to various hospitals,
including Gifford Medical Center.
“Gifford is very sweet,” Irwin said. “You can feel the empathy
here, which is how it should be.”
A warm room can deteriorate a stillborn baby’s condition
quickly. The CuddleCot system cools the baby allowing families
to spend more time with their baby, where every minute
counts.
“We are absolutely honored and very appreciative,” Gifford
Director of Women’s Health, Bonnie Hervieux-Woodbury said.
“This will be a huge gift to families, parents, and grandparents.
We hope the opportunity to use the CuddleCot is few and far
between, but in those instances, we will put it to good use.”
Fundraising for Scarlet’s Mission is mostly done through
social media. The first CuddleCot was donated about three
years ago. Seven CuddleCots have been presented since, with
six of them going to Vermont hospitals.
“Vermont has very compassionate health care,” Irwin said.
“To be able to help the parents and to keep my daughter’s
spirit and name alive is extremely important. I’m very grateful
to Gifford for accepting this.”
“Our goal is to support families in our birthing center and
this is another way to do that,” Hervieux-Woodbury said. “We
don’t want to put time frames on when it’s okay for parents to
say goodbye.”

Reminder during COVID-19: All Gifford clinics are open.

New One Dollar Coin Features
Vermont Snowboarder
By CompassVermont.com
The United States Mint
(Mint) has officially announced
the 2022 American
Innovation 1 Coin
Program designs, and
Vermont’s will be a
snowboarder.
This multi-year
series that started in
2018 honors innova-
tion and innovators by
issuing 1 coins for each
of the 50 states, the District
of Columbia, and the five
.S. territories.
The Mint works with each state’s
governor’s office and subject matter experts
to determine design concepts.
“I am proud to have snowboarding representing
Vermont in the Innovation 1 program,”
said Vermont overnor Phil Scott.
“In many ways, Vermont is the birthplace
of modern snowboarding, and this coin represents
Vermont’s contributions to the sport,
from physical innovations in boards and bindings
to the creativity and athleticism showcased
by Vermontersand others who train in
the reen Mountainsin competition
on the world stage.”
The Mint also released the
following description of the
coin.
American Innovation
Vermont
Designer: Justin Kunz,
Artistic Infusion Program
Sculptor: Craig Camp-
bell, Medallic Artist.
“The Vermont 1 Coin
features a young female
snowboarder in the air performing
a trick called a “melon grab,”
set against a mountainous winter line inspired by the landscape of Vermont.

The aim of the design is to capture a sense
of the energy and exuberance of snowboarding
through movement implied by diagonal
lines and curved shapes. Inscriptions include
“NITED STATES OF AMERICA” and
“VERMONT.”

Preservation Trust of Vermont Awarded
Funding for 2022 Bruhn Grants
The Preservation Trust of Vermont has
been awarded 659,000 from the Paul Bruhn
Historic Revitalization rant Program grant,
administered by the National Park Service.
These grants mark the third year of funding
for the program named in honor of the late
Paul Bruhn, president of the Preservation
Trust of Vermont for nearly 40 years. Subgrants
awarded by the Preservation Trust will
support preservation projects in rural Vermont.
As Vice Chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee, Senator Patrick Leahy
created and named the 7.5 million annual
program to support rural communities working
to revitalize historic properties in their
communities of national, state and local significance
in order to restore, protect and foster
economic development in rural villages and
downtown areas.
Of the award to the Preservation Trust of
Vermont, Senator Leahy said: “As I know
from my long friendship and partnership with
Paul Bruhn, Vermont’s historic structures are
crucial to preserving the identity of our local
communities and to energizing our economy.
This award will allow the Preservation Trust
to help more Vermont communities activate
these spaces, keeping their downtowns and
village centers vibrant places where Vermonters
can meet their neighbors.”
“The Preservation Trust of Vermont is
deeply honored to be entrusted with this
funding from the National Parks Service,”
said Ben Doyle, President of the Preservation
Trust. “We are excited to fund projects
around Vermont that will revitalize communities,
help save the buildings Vermonters love,
and create new economic activity. This award
is a testament to the hard work of community
leaders engaged in preservation projects and
to Senator Leahy’s leadership that has made
the program possible.”
Congress appropriates funding for the program
through the Historic Preservation Fund
(HPF). The HPF uses revenue from federal oil
leases on the Outer Continental Shelf, providing
assistance for a broad range of preservation
projects without expending tax dollars.
The program is administered by the National
Park Service, Department of the Interior.

Castleton University, Northern Vermont
University, and Vermont Technical College to
Unify as Vermont State University
The Board of Trustees of the Vermont
State Colleges System (VSCS) approved the
name Vermont State niversity for the one
new university unifying Castleton niversity,
Northern Vermont niversity, and Vermont
Technical College.
“The establishment of the nameVermont
State niversityis a pivotal point
in the creation of our new and innovative
university,” stated Board of Trustees Chair
Lynn Dickinson. “Vermont State niversity
capitalizes on the nationally and internationally
known Vermont brand and highlights our
connection to the state as a public higher education
institution. In establishing the identity
of the new institution, this is the first step. We
are looking forward to the continued work
over the next several months on the additional
critical elements of the brand identity
of Vermont State niversity: the mission, vision,
brand identity, and academic structure.”
She continued, “the VSCS Board of Trustees
is committed to fully unifying Castleton
niversity, Northern Vermont niversity,
and Vermont Technical College. With the
guidance, support, and financial investment
of the state, the Board of Trustees plans to
accomplish a unification that expands opportunities
for learners throughout the state,
restructures the system for financial success,
and retains our current campus locations and
thus our commitment to serving Vermont’s
rural communities.”
Chancellor Sophie datny noted, “the
establishment of Vermont State niversity
is an opportunity to fully unify our three
residential institutions. It is essential that
we do so in a strategic and thoughtful way.
Extensive research, including feedback from
over 3,000 students, faculty, staff, alumni,
administrators, and community partners, was
done to inform the name recommendation.
This research was crucial to establishing the
unifying name and will continue to be used
in the coming months as we do further work
on the mission, vision, and brand identity of
Vermont State niversity.”
“One key takeaway from the research done
is the importance of innovation and technology
with a focus on the future,” she added.
“Another is how embedded Vermont is in
our collective identity through our workforce
partners, applied learning opportunities, our
local communities and alumni, and connection
to the state. The importance of the word
niversity’ to convey the variety, strength,
quality, and prestige of the education provided
was another key indicator. Vermont State
niversity gives us incredible flexibility in
bringing the brand identity of the new university
to life. In the coming months, we will
be continuing the exciting work of establishing
a unified brand identity for Vermont State
niversity.”
Vermont State niversity will launch July
1, 2023 with recruitment for the first class to
begin in fall 2022. Once the new university
is established, the VSCS will consist of Vermont
State niversity and Community College
of Vermont.
The Vermont State Colleges System, with
the guidance and direction of the state, began
working on system transformation and the
unification of the three residential colleges
last year. In Act 74 of the 2021 legislative
session, the state mandated system transformation
and integration while also committing
to stronger funding of the system, the
member institutions, and Vermont students.

Senator Leahy said of the project, “I am
delighted, though not surprised, that the expansion
of Hubbard Park was highly ranked
for the national Community Forest and Open
Space 2021 grants. I played in Hubbard Park
as a boy growing up in Montpelier, and this
expansion will ensure that it will be even bigger
and better for generations to come. This
project conserves open space and expands this
much-loved park in the heart of our state capital.
It is exactly the type of project that I had in
mind when I helped create this grant program
in the Farm Bill, and why I support its annual
funding as Chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee.”
Two events are scheduled (on Zoom and inperson)
for members of the public and learn
more, see a short slide-show and ask questions
about the expansion project, funds already
raised, and remaining gap and timeline.
Wednesday, October 13 at 5:30 is an inperson,
masked, distanced, limited-capacity
event at Montpelier Senior Activity Center, 58
Barre Street, Montpelier. Register for either
by emailing Janna Clar at jclar@montpeliervt.org
or calling 802-262-6284.
This project is part of a larger effort to ensure
more community members have access
to the health and wellness benefits parks and
trails provide, and to work towards making
Montpelier a destination for outdoor recreation.
The Montpelier Parks Commission,
along with partners such as the Trust for Public
land, are working toward a goal for all residents
to be able to access greenspace within a
10-minute walk from home.
“Hubbard Park is a Vermont treasure, allowing
visitors to stroll through the thickly
forested hills just behind the Golden Dome,”
said Rep. Welch. “I have appreciated the quiet
beauty of Hubbard Park since my days in the
State House. This grant will allow Montpelier
to add additional acres of forest, streams and
wetlands to Hubbard Park, increasing its size
by almost 50 percent, and adding important
natural resources to this well managed community
forest in the heart of the Vermont
capital.”

Passing the Torch to Continue
a Beloved Community
Tradition: Free Community
Thanksgiving Dinner
After 48 years at the helm, WCYSB is stepping out of our
role of organizing our area’s annual Free Community Thanksgiving
Dinner. WCYSB has officially passed the torch to National
Life roup and Sodexo who will continue this beloved
community event.
What started out as a small community dinner grew dramatically
year after year, doubling in size in just the last ten
years to serve over 800 meals at the sit-down buffet and via
deliveries to the homebound. Eventually the dinner outgrew
our agency’s capacity. After much soul searching, we realized
that the best way to keep the tradition alive was to find other
entities in the community to take this on. Then last year with
the disruptions of the COVID pandemic we suddenly had to
come up with a different model and National Life and Sodexo
generously took the lead.
We are enormously grateful to National Life roup and Sodexo
for taking this on last year and going forward. We know
this event is in capable hands, with organizations that are as
caring and committed to the community as we are.
Thank you to our community!
You helped to make this dinner possible and create the magic
that it generated every year. Our staff truly put their hearts
and souls into this event for 48 years, but they could never
have done it alone. We are forever grateful to our community
to you and all the donors, turkey roasters, pie bakers, potato
peelers, to the volunteers who served the meals and delivered
the meals. To the volunteers who came early on Thanksgiving
Day to set up, and who stayed late to clean up, and those who
helped out in so many other ways. And thanks to the Bethany
Church and the nitarian Church in Montpelier for the use of
their space year after year.
Bill Preis of Middlesex who volunteered at the Thanksgiving
dinner for over 20 years says, “This meal helped the community
to grow and get to know each other. This has been an
uplifting event to be involved with.”
By the numbers a look at what it took to feed 800 people
In 2019 prior to the pandemic:
814 meals served (416 at the sit-down dinner at Bethany
Church and 398 meals delivered to people’s homes).
60 turkeys
• 115 pies
300 lbs of squash
200 lbs of potatoes
61 dozen fresh rolls
164 volunteers helped out
19 volunteer drivers delivered meals along 20 different delivery
routes.
This year’s dinner
In the coming weeks National Life and Sodexo will share
details about this year’s dinner which again, due to the COVID
pandemic, will be offered for pick-up and delivery only.

Fall Walks Open to the Community! Preparing for Winter
Walk
Saturday, October 16, 10:00am (rain date, October 17) |
Free | For all ages
Meet at the New Shelter in Hubbard Park, Montpelier for
this easy to moderate walk. Join Naturalist Gail Johnson for a
walk exploring how trees and animals get ready for winter.
Finding leaves that have changed color, we’ll learn why they
change color, and how deciduous leaves transfer food they
make to the bottom of the trunk before they fall. We’ll find
animals and relate them to the ways animals prepare for winter:
either migration, physical change, storage of food, or
locating and readying a winter home. Gail has beautiful photographs
and physical props to illustrate the topic. Just show
up and share!

Waterbury Area Senior Center Event
Queen Esther #7, Order of the Eastern Star, Waterbury is
working on helping the Waterbury Area by organizing a couple
of Community Service Projects. We have plans for doing
a food drive in early November to help the three local food
shelves, date to be announced in near future, and we have set
up an event for the Waterbury Area Senior Center.
Like many businesses and most non-profits today, it is difficult
to make ends meet with the costs of goods and so many
vacancies in today’s workforce; even volunteers are scarce.
Mark your calendars for the fall sale on Saturday, October
23rd from 9 - 3 at the Center, 14 Stowe Street in Waterbury.
Admission is free. We have organized crafters and vendors
who will buy space and sell products at the event. My group
of volunteers are baking pies, breads, cookies (including
Gale’s) and baked beans to sell at this event. We have a hostess
for Pampered Chef, Tupperware and even a gal who sells
the fun Color Street nails. We have a potter who offers honey
and beeswax items, a photographer, a couple of jewelry
designers, a family who sells fun wreaths and much more.
There is a raffle for a gift packet that you would love to win
and we’ll have a 50/50 raffle. There will be something for
everyone. Come out and help the Eastern Star in an effort to
support our Seniors in the Waterbury area. For more information,

State of Vermont Strengthens School Testing Program;
Makes Covid-19 Response Testing Available to All VT Schools
The State of Vermont distributed resources and information
to all Vermont public and independent schools to enable them
to establish COVID-19 response testing in every school
across Vermont. The State is bolstering existing testing tools
with rapid testing to help keep more kids in school.
The program, a joint effort of the Agency of Education,
Department of Health and a range of other state government
and public health partners, will provide schools with a robust
tool set to respond to cases in their learning community. These
resources are provided free of charge to Vermont schools.
“We all know how important it is to keep kids in school –
doing so is a public health imperative,” said Governor Scott.
“But what we have seen so far is that many students have had
to quarantine after a possible exposure and then don’t ever
become a case. This is valuable classroom time that is lost for
the student, and challenging for parents and schools to manage.
By adding these additional tools to the toolbox, we can
minimize disruptions, more quickly identify cases, and above
all, keep our kids in school, so they can get the education and
opportunities for social interaction they deserve.”
Using a combination of PCR and rapid antigen tests,
response testing allows schools to greatly reduce the time
students might otherwise have to spend out of the classroom
due to cases at their school. Students who are close contacts
of a classmate or teacher who tests positive for COVID-19
will be able to test out of quarantine more easily and continue
attending school while in quarantine as long as they have no
symptoms.
“Response testing is a critical tool for Vermont schools as
they work to keep students learning, and a key part of our
efforts to support Vermont’s hard-working school staff and
educators,” said Secretary of Education Dan French. “Right
now, the most important thing we can do for students’ longterm
success is to keep them in the classroom as much as
possible. Together with the current surveillance testing program,
these new tools will help make sure that students are
present, learning and engaged in the other essential pursuits
that Vermont education provides.”
“When combined with surveillance testing, response testing
provides a full range of tools to Vermont schools, allowing
them to quickly respond to cases, and keep students at school,
There’s No Way to Do It Wrong!
For decades, Montpelier’s Gary Miller wrote English Language
Arts curriculum for some of the largest (and smallest)
publishers in the world. But when it came to teaching writing,
he also had some ideas of his own. Those ideas have found
their way into Miller’s new book There’s No Way to Do It
Wrong! How to Get Young Learners to Take Risks, Tell Stories,
Share Opinions, and Fall in Love with Writing, now available
at 7minutewriter.com.
Coming in at just under 60 pages, this slender how-to targets
teachers and home schoolers who want their grade 5-8 students
to overcome their fear, write with confidence, and love
the writing process. The book, says Miller, is designed to convince
young learners that writing can be fun — and that they
all can be successful writers and authors.
“We’ve become so focused on standards and testing. We forget
that kids learn to love writing by having fun,” Miller says.
“When we focus instead on brief, low-risk writing prompts
and what students are doing right, we can turn reluctant writers
into enthusiastic, motivated ones.”
There’s No Way to Do It Wrong! uses 7-minute writing sessions
and positive feedback as a springboard to get the ink
flowing and build confidence. The process builds skills for all
types of writing, from descriptive and persuasive writing to
narrative and expository. And the book also includes ideas for
publishing student work and 101 bonus prompts designed to
spark young writers’ creativity.

engaged and learning,” said Agency of Human Services
Secretary, Mike Smith.
The COVID-19 response testing program consists of three
complementary testing tools, each used for different scenarios,
giving schools flexibility to respond directly to specific
cases in their learning community:
• Test to Stay – allows unvaccinated students who are close
contacts of a positive COVID-19 case to take a daily antigen
test at the beginning of the school day, rather than remaining
at home. Students who test negative go to class and in-school
extracurricular activities as normal, as long as they have no
symptoms. Students test until seven days have passed since
they were last exposed to the case. This program is modeled
after successful programs in Massachusetts and Utah and has
been supported by Vermont’s pediatric community and infectious
disease experts at the University of Vermont.
• PCR Response Testing – allows schools to conduct a wide
range of PCR testing in response to case(s) in their learning
community. This includes testing unvaccinated close contacts
out of quarantine, testing vaccinated close contacts three to
five days after exposure, and testing symptomatic students
who test negative with an antigen test. Schools administer the
testing on site.
• Take Home PCR Testing – allows schools to distribute kits
to students, staff and family members who need a test.
Families can follow simple instructions to register the kit
using a smartphone or web browser, collect the sample, and
either send back to the lab themselves with a pre-paid shipping
label, or return to the school for shipping. These kits are
intended for students quarantining at home, family members
of COVID-19 positive students, or anyone in the learning
community who needs a test.
Families will hear directly from their school about testing
programs in their community. Schools will receive additional
resources and information.
Information can be found on the Agency of Education’s
COVID-19 Testing Family Resources webpage and COVID-
19 Response Testing At-A-Glance.

please visit Healthvermont.gov/covid-19.

The Montpelier Public Arts Commission is pleased to announce
the release of a new micro-grant program available
to Vermont-based artists for up to $1500 for permanent or
temporary art installations throughout the City of Montpelier.
This RFP is open for an indefinite period and artists may submit
at anytime during the year. The commission will review
and award grants twice yearly, with deadlines of October 31
and March 30.
The goal of these projects is to jump start the city’s inventory
of art and enhance community vitality, particularly in light
of the struggles we have all faced in the past year. The commission
will review submissions and make selections based
on the quality of art and the goal of filling the city with as
much quality art as possible within its limited budget. As a
result, the total number of awards and the amount of awards
will be determined during the review process.
For more information about the projects and to review the
Request for Proposals, please visit the MPAC webpage at

Bernard P. Roy
BARRE Bernard P. Roy, 95,
passed away peacefully on
October 2, 2021 at his home, with his
loving family by his side. Bernie was
born on September 17, 1926 in Washington,
VT, where he grew up and went to
school. At age 17, he signed up to serve
his country during WWII. He served to
the end of the war and returned home to
graduate from Spaulding High School,
graduating in 1946. Soon after school, he married his beloved
Lucille “Tookie” Benoit, started working at People’s National
Bank in Barre, which changed to First Vermont Bank and at
his retirement was Key Bank of Barre. He was in banking for
42 years. In the early years of his marriage, he also worked
part time in the Benoit family store in town. Bernie and Tookie
lived in Graniteville their entire married lives. They had
nine children and after 45 loving years of marriage, Bernie lost
his beloved wife to cancer.
Bernie was a quiet, kind and gentle soul that would help
anybody at any time. When working at the bank, he was often
sought out as the banker that one could speak to in their
native, French-Canadian tongue. He would say very little as
he would contemplate and listen, and often puff on his pipe.
But helped whenever he could. He was an avid hunter and
member of the Benoit deer camp, proud member of Red Sox
Nation, previous co-owner of the Roy Family camp on Woodbury
Lake, bowler, and a frugal Mr. Fix-it.
Through the years of raising his many children, he was the
Trustee of St. Sylvester’s Cemetery Association (for 54 years).
Bernie served on the Barre Town School Board and was one of
board members that was instrumental in selecting the site for
the Barre Town Elementary School.
In 1997 Bernie met his second partner in life, Joan (McCallum)
Hart and in that union, gained additional children and
grandchildren. He loved them all. Many times after Sunday
mass, you could stop at their house to find him sitting at the
head of the breakfast table, with the Hart family all around
him chatting. He would be grinning at a story being told,
clearly a happy man. The Hart family was the icing on the
cake for him, and he was happiest when surrounded by family.
Bernie leaves behind his partner of 25 years, Joan Hart
of Barre. He had nine children, Cindy Collins, Karen Roy,
Stephen Roy all of Barre; James Roy (wife Becca) of Wolcott;
Kathy Morse (Frank, deceased) of Barre; John Roy of
Richmond; Ann Miller (husband Merle) of Barre; and Ronald
Roy (wife Heather) of Claremont, NH; Alexander Hart (wife
Rhonda); Rodney Hart (wife Kim) both of Williamstown;
Rhonda Couillard (husband Chuck); and Karen Chouinard
(husband Marcel) both of Barre. In addition, 23 grandchildren
and nineteen great-grandchildren. Bernie leaves behind many
nieces and nephews. Son Timothy Charles predeceased him
in 1966.
Bernie was the sixth of 14 children and leaves behind three
siblings Anita Seguin (husband Charles) of S. Burlington;
Donald Roy (wife Ann) of Riverview, FL; and Diane Elkins
(husband Michael) of Clermont, FL. He is predeceased by his
parents, Oram and Lydia Roy; siblings Dolore Roy, Raymond
Roy, Victor Roy, Marielore Foreman, Edward Roy, Rolland
Roy, Armand Roy, Robert Roy, Normand Roy and Margaret
Carney. Bernie would proudly display his license plate representing
“9 brothers served” their country.
A Catholic funeral was held on October 6, 2021, 10:00 at
St. Monica Church in Barre, VT. In Lieu of flowers, donations
can be made to Central VT Home Health and Hospice, 600
ranger Road, Barre VT. 05641. Home Health and Hospice
truly are angels and were there for him every step of the way.

What Do Men In Prison For Violent Crimes Have In Common?
Research tells us that a majority of men in prison were
abused growing up.
As a state, Vermont is dedicated to the health and safety of
its most vulnerable citizens, in particular its children. Their
health, education, and overall wellbeing are paramount to the
future success of our state.
Given this, we must focus energy and resources on the
prevention of child abuse and in particular, sexual abuse. As
we raise children free from child sexual abuse, they will grow
up unlikely to commit violent sex crimes as adults, and that is
a goal worth striving for.
Over the past 25 years, we have learned that children cannot
protect themselves from those who would sexually abuse
them. They cannot say “no” to older youth, babysitters, teachers,
parents, scout leaders, clergy, etc. They are not equal to
those who care for them; they are children, not little adults.
By definition, they are dependent on those who are caring for
them. These relationships with people older than themselves
are necessary for children, in their homes, schools, and communities.
It is up to adults to learn how to spot grooming behavior, to
interrupt it, and protect our children. The purpose of grooming
is to build trust with family members, program leaders,
and children, to gain access to them with a plan to sexually
abuse them. Those who sexually offend children come from
President Approves Major Disaster Declaration for Vermont
Governor Phil Scott issued the following statement regarding
the Biden Administration’s plan to invest billions to
expand rapid at-home COVID-19 tests for Americans:
“Increasing access to rapid at-home testing will be important
as we continue moving forward and I applaud the
President’s focus on this important tool.
“The introduction of highly effective vaccines, boosters
and early treatment options has significantly lowered the risk
for everyone, but especially the older, medically vulnerable
population most at-risk. As a result, we are able to return to
more normal activities and begin to address the consequences
of the most aggressive COVID-19 mitigation measures.
These consequences like increasing hospitalization for significant
non-covid illnesses, increasing mental healthcare

all walks of life and look just like everyone else. Adults can
spot grooming when small boundaries are crossed and inhibitions
are lowered with children, like telling adult-content
stories or jokes, or not respecting children’s boundaries about
touch. Interrupting this process can save a child from harm.
As adults, we can set boundaries for expectations of other
adults’ behavior with children.
All of our children deserve to have bright futures and safe,
carefree childhoods!

needs, rising substance use, overdoses and domestic violence,
and the economic insecurity of many families and employers.
The science tells us that as we move forward, COVID-19 will
continue to circulate like other viruses. As America navigates
that transition from pandemic to endemic, expanding access
to rapid testing will change the game, giving us another, far
faster and more convenient tool we can use at home to help
the country moving forward.
“Vermont and our neighbors in New England have proven
the power of vaccines and the importance of robust testing. I
look forward to learning more about the federal initiatives and
working together with the President and his team to lead the
way forward.”

Attorney General Donovan Files Consumer Protection
Suit Against Fossil Fuel Companies
Vermont Attorney eneral T.J. Donovan announced that his
office has filed a major consumer protection lawsuit against
fossil fuel companies for deceptive and unfair practices. The
lawsuit alleges past and ongoing violations of Vermont’s Consumer
Protection Act for concealing crucial information and
disseminating misleading statements and advertising about
fossil fuels and climate change. The lawsuit names as defendants
Exxon Mobil Corporation, Shell Oil Company, Sunoco
LP, CITO Petroleum Corporation, and related companies.
“For years, these companies have misled the public about
the real and significant impacts of fossil fuels on our environment
and public health,” said Attorney eneral Donovan.
“Vermont consumers were given false and misleading
information about the dramatic effects of these products on
the climate. Vermonters have a right to accurate information
in order to make informed decisions about the products they
purchase.”
The lawsuit, filed in the Vermont Superior Court, Chittenden
Civil Division, seeks to prevent the fossil fuel corporations
from engaging in further unfair or deceptive acts and
practices. The lawsuit also seeks to force these corporations
Attorney General Donovan Co-Leads Bipartisan Coalition In
Supporting Hearings on Social Media Use by Kids

• • •
• • •
to take appropriate steps to rectify their prior and ongoing
actions, including future disclosures about the role of fossil
fuels in climate change at every point of sale in Vermont. Further,
the lawsuit seeks disgorgement by the corporations of all
funds acquired as a result of unlawful acts or practices, and
statutory civil penalties under the Vermont Consumer Protection
Act.
The Attorney eneral’s complaint alleges a long history
of deceptive and unfair acts and practices by the fossil fuel
corporations. The lawsuit contends that the corporations knew
about the potential warming effects of greenhouse gas emissions
caused by fossil fuel since the 1960s and yet have continued
to promote their products while obfuscating and downplaying
climate dangers. Further, the lawsuit describes a more
recent “greenwashing” campaign by defendants to portray
themselves and their products as benefiting the environment
and helping to solve climate change, when in fact they continue
to remain major sources of the problem. Examples of
advertising and other statements by the defendants spanning
decades are included in the Attorney eneral’s complaint.
Attorney eneral T.J. Donovan is co-leading a bipartisan
coalition of 52 attorneys general expressing strong support for
the hearings being conducted by the .S. Senate Committee
addressing protection and safety of kids and teens using social
media.
Attorneys general, who have been monitoring with concern
the impacts of social media on youth, cite recent research from
Facebook’s own internal studies showing that social media is
inflicting harm. According to these internal studies, this harm
comes in the form of increased mental distress, bullying, suicide,
and other self-harm on a significant number of kids.
“I applaud the .S. Senate for holding these important hearings
on the negative and harmful impacts social media has on
kids,” said Attorney eneral Donovan. “As our letter states,
when our young people’s health becomes mere collateral
damage of greater profits of social media companies, it is time
for the government to intervene.’”
The letter, sent to the .S. Senate Committee on Commerce,
Science, and Transportation Subcommittee on Consumer
Protection, Product Safety, and Data Security, recognizes
the hearings will uncover critical information about the
business practices that social media companies are using to
gain the attention of more young people on their platforms.
Attorneys general express in their letter that the current and
future well-being of our nation’s youth is at stake.
In May 2021, a bipartisan coalition of 44 attorneys general
wrote a letter to Facebook CEO Mark uckerberg urging
the company to abandon its plans to launch a version of
Instagram for children under the age of 13. That request was
ignored. Last week, in advance of the Congressional hearings,
Facebook announced their intent to “pause” the project. The
attorneys general believe the project should be abandoned altogether.
The attorneys general write in their letter that “More engagement
by the user equals more data to leverage for advertising,
which equals greater profit. This prompts social media
companies to design their algorithms and other features to
psychologically manipulate young users into a state of addiction
to their cell phone screens.”

Pfizer Booster Shots Now
Available to All Eligible Groups
Governor Phil Scott announced that many more Vermonters
can now schedule and receive their Pfizer vaccine booster
shots.
“We know vaccines are safe and effective, and these additional
doses add even more protection. So, I encourage anyone
who is eligible to register for your booster today,” said
Governor Scott. “At the same time, we continue to urge those
who have not yet gotten their first dose to get vaccinated. The
data shows we are now in a pandemic of the unvaccinated,
and vaccines are the best way to protect yourself, friends and
family, and to make sure we continue moving forward from
the pandemic.”
In Vermont, you are now eligible to get a booster shot of
Pfizer vaccine if you received your second dose of the Pfizer-
BioNTech vaccine six months ago or more, and

spread COVID because of where you work, or
• are age 18 or older and are Black, Indigenous or a person of
color (BIPOC), or are age 18 or older and live with someone
who is BIPOC.
As of Friday morning, more than 4,700 people have registered

also able to get their shots at participating pharmacies and
through their health care provider.

ARIES (March 21 to April
19) Someone from your past
could arrive with welcome
news concerning your future.
Meanwhile, avoid taking
sides in a workplace confrontation
until you have more facts to go on.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) A decision about a relationship
could have longer-lasting consequences than you might imagine,
so be sure of your facts before you act. A trusted friend can help.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) A strained relationship could be
restored with more personal contact between the two of you.
Letting others act as your go-between only adds to the ongoing
estrangement.
CANCER ( June 21 to July 22) Fresh facts could mean taking a
new path toward a goal you’ve been hoping to reach. However,
be sure all your questions are answered before you undertake to
shift directions.
LEO ( July 23 to August 22) This is a good week for all you fine
Felines to turn your attention to some important considerations,
such as your health, your job situation and the status of important
relationships.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Avoid making a quick decision
about a matter that needs more study. Keep your mind open
for possibilities, even if they don’t seem plausible -- at least not
yet.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might welcome the
emphasis on openness in relationships that mark this period. But
it’s a good idea to avoid sharing personal secrets with people you
hardly know.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) There are still some
questions that need to be asked and answered before you can feel
confident enough to make a potentially life-changing decision.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Some lingering
effects from a now largely resolved workplace confrontation
could make things difficult for you. Act on this before it becomes
serious.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) You feel you’re finally
in control of your own life after months of making compromises
and concessions you never felt comfortable with. Congratulations.
AQUARIUS ( January 20 to February 18) No sooner do you decide
to pass on one job offer than another suddenly turns up. This
one might not have everything you’re looking for, but it’s worth
checking out.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Congratulations. With Jupiter’s
strong influence dominating this week, don’t be surprised to
get some good news about a troubling financial matter.
BORN THIS WEEK: You are usually kind and loving. But you
can be highly critical of those who don’t measure up to your high
standards. (c) 2021 King Features Synd., Inc.

Consumer Resources to Help Locate
Available Health Care Providers
The Department of Financial Regulation
(DFR), Department of Vermont Health
Access, Office of the Health Care Advocate,
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Vermont, MVP
Health Care, and Cigna together encourage
Vermonters to take advantage of consumer
resources to help find alternative care if they
encounter extended wait times for medical
appointments.
“While the State of Vermont continues to
examine reports of extended wait times for
medical appointments, we want to bring
awareness to the consumer resources currently
available to help Vermonters struggling
to secure medical appointments,” said DFR
Commissioner Michael Pieciak.
Commercial health insurers and Vermont
Medicaid have resources available to assist
consumers with finding primary and specialty
care within a reasonable time frame, including
transportation to and from appointments,
and telemedicine services. Further, consumers
with commercial insurance may be able to
see out-of-network providers at in-network
rates if no in-network provider is available
and accessible on a timely basis.
“Vermonters who need help navigating our
health care system can always reach out to the
consumer team at the Office of the Health
Care Advocate. The team can answer questions,
help point the consumer in the right
direction or possibly assist resolving the matter
altogether,” said Mike Fisher, Vermont’s
Chief Health Care Advocate.
Primary Care
• If you are having trouble securing a primary
care appointment or do not have a primary
care provider, your health insurer may be able
to facilitate finding an available appointment.
Specialty Care
• If you are having trouble securing a specialty
appointment, first contact your Primary
Care Practice, who may be able to help find
an available appointment.
• If your Primary Care Practice is unable to
assist or you do not have a primary provider,
your health insurer may also be able to facilitate
finding an available appointment.
Health insurer contact information and
online consumer tools can be found below:
Resources for Vermont Medicaid Members
If you are a Vermont Medicaid member
and experiencing any issues in accessing the
care you need, please let us know by calling
1-800-250-8427. Vermont Medicaid members
can find Medicaid-participating providers
who are accepting new patients by using
the “Provider Lookup” (http://vtmedicaid.
com/#/providerLookup) or by calling the
Customer Support Center at 1-800-250-8427
to ask for help in locating a provider.
Pfizer Booster
continued from previous page
to get your annual flu vaccine,
and that there is no
waiting period between getting
a COVID-19 booster and
getting your flu shot.
COVID-19 vaccines are
highly effective, and a booster
dose gives your body extra
protection. This is especially
important as the world continues
to face the Delta variant
of the virus that causes
COVID-19. Moderna and
Johnson and Johnson boosters
have not yet been authorized
by the CDC, and we
will keep Vermonters up to
date as we await guidance.

providers and Amwell (https://bcbsvt.amwell.

The Vermont-based customer support team
can help members find providers in any specialty
area and is only a phone call away at

Resources for MVP Health Care Members
MVP Health Care provides several resources
to assist its members with accessing timely
care when and where they need it. MVP
offers its members a user-friendly Find a
Doctor tool that can help identify in-network
providers that are accepting new patients.
Additionally, MVP’s customer care team can
help members find provider availability and
assist with scheduling visits when a member’s
current doctor is experiencing longer
than normal wait times by calling
1-800-TALK-MVP or the number of the back
of their ID card.
Resources for Cigna Members
Cigna Customer Service Advocates are
available 24/7/365 to help customers find innetwork
providers. They can also help connect
customers to telehealth (virtual care)
services for both medical and mental health
care.

AUTUMN OUTINGS | FALL 2021
Old Riverton General Store to
Become New Local Food Hub
By CompassVermont.com
Governor Phil Scott has announced funding
to support 28 rehabilitation and revitalization
projects in 22 of Vermont’s designated downtown
and village centers.
The awards help generate over $83 million
in building improvements and public infrastructure
to support local businesses, create
new housing opportunities and incentivize
other community investments.
“The kind of projects we’re funding today,
along with the strategic use of federal relief
dollars, gives us the opportunity to make
transformative change that will have longlasting
impacts around the state,” said Vermont
Governor Phil Scott.
Based on the success of this program, Governor
Scott has proposed increasing available
credits each year since coming to office. As
a result, and with support from the Vermont
Legislature, the cap on these credits has been
raised from $2.4 million to $3 million over the
last five years.
Here are the details on the Riverton General
Store in Berlin.
3795 Crosstown Road, Berlin – Last occupied
in 2007, the former Riverton General
Store will be converted into a mixed-use commercial
space, with a one-bedroom apartment
and a new local food hub, taking advantage
of an existing commercial kitchen, and utilizing
local farm products to provide high quality
fresh and frozen food to go.
State tax credits will support façade repairs
and updates along with code-mandated upgrades.

The Secret to Perfect Applesauce
By Joyce Amsden
Extension Master Gardener
Intern
University of Vermont
One of the great pleasures
of a sunny fall day is
the juicy, sweet crunch of a
new apple, fresh from the
orchard.
Sometimes a trip to
the orchard yields such
a bounty of apples that it
is impossible to eat them
all fresh. This can be particularly
true if you get
“drops.” Most food safety
sources say that “drops”
should be cooked before
eating because of toxins

that can develop on apples bruised by a fall to the ground.
One of my favorite ways to cook apples is to make applesauce.
On its own or with cottage cheese or yogurt, it makes
a delicious breakfast, side dish or snack.
You can make applesauce by peeling, coring and cooking
the apples with a bit of water, then mashing or processing
them to the desired texture. If you have a cone strainer or
food mill, you can try the method below, which retains more
of the apple flavor and sweetness. The lovely pink color and
flavor easily justifies the cost of the strainer or mill, if you
are so inclined.
Different varieties yield different color and sweetness.
(McIntosh is one of my favorites).
Adding cinnamon adds spice and sweetness without calories
or the health problems related to added sugar.
To prepare your apples, first wash them under cool water.
Drain. One at a time, quarter the apples, removing the blossom
ends, stems and core. Place them in a saucepan. Most
sources recommend removing the seeds as they harbor very
minimal traces of a toxin. Although it is unlikely that anyone
would eat enough seeds to cause a problem, there is
another reason to remove the core. The casings around the
seeds do not soften in cooking and can slip through the food
mill into your applesauce and have an unpleasant texture.
When you have prepared your apples, add 1/2 to 1 cup
water to the pot so that the apples don’t burn before they begin
to release their juice. Cover and cook over medium heat
for 15-30 minutes or until soft, stirring frequently. Adjust
heat to avoid scorching.
Put the pulp through a food mill or cone strainer. Season
to taste with cinnamon. I use a heaping teaspoon for three
pounds of apples. Allow the sauce to cool. Taste before
making a decision whether to sweeten with a little honey
or sugar.
Ladle into plastic freezer containers leaving 1/2-inch of
headspace. Freezing best preserves the fresh flavor but has
the disadvantage of having to wait for it to thaw before use.
Being a high-acid food, applesauce also can be canned in
a hot water bath, which has the advantage of being ready
when you are.
If your applesauce makes it to the canning kettle or freezer
without being devoured by your friends and family, it will
make a lovely winter treat.

Ferris Wheel
By Kimberly Madura
A bend in space
and time
Blurred air
This steel stay,
I am incommunicado
3D
4D
High and free, fear overtaken
by pleasure
Flashing, dizzying
neon lights,
and cotton candy
imbued air
Circular, fleeting
time warp
motioned
inside out
The Wind; time is
By Kimberly Madura
One is
coming up for air,
the other is
carrying the fire,
together:
feeling,
loving,
sharing.
Fly Paper
By Wayne F. Burke
like yellow phlegm
in color, a sticky friend
hard to be rid of, hangs
around
from the ceiling, slightly
curled
like a lip; you wish
you had never reached-out to
it,
once it sticks.
Now the task becomes
how to be rid of it.
How to detach and
quick before you get
hung-up too in a sticky
proposition you did not
bargain for–like being
free of a dog who
follows you home
because
you pet it,
once.
Great Gray Cloud
By Wayne F. Burke
like an opened hand

a white disk,
creeping from

Storm
By Wayne F. Burke
a tornado on the
ridge line and
spreading clouds dark
as soot–
grumble of thunder
flash of lightning
and rain
drops big as grapes
splattering the parking lot
in a dance
of dervishes
I watch
from beneath the overhang
of
Armed Service Recruitment
Center
where I stand
waiting it out–
the storm.
Clouds
By Wayne F. Burke
I look to the clouds
for answers
but
do not find any
because
clouds are but phantoms
passing through, not
messages
written on a blue vault–
not signs,
or portents–
only vapor of
condensation, air-y
nothings, will-less
and
without even the substance
of a dream.
No Charge
By Wayne F. Burke
birds in white sky
darkling
over Burlington, Vermont,
City by the Lake;
tower chapels white and
pointed on the
college campuses,
dark birds over flat rooftops
overseen from 5-story
parking garage
where I lost my parking ticket
and could not find
I told the guy in the booth
he said “s’all right,” and let
me go
no charge, I said “thank you”
and left under the yellow
arm.
Riverine

gold sun, silver river
sparkle of crescents,

aluminum ridges of rivulets

fishes go
invisibly
about their business,

Friends Eternally
By Old George
No more with you will I have fun.
My work on Earth is done.
For the Lord has called me home.
Never more will I see the sun rise.
Nor hear my favorite song sung for me.
For I have gone to my heavenly home.
A ride on horse back.
Will there ever be.
A bird to sing a song for me.
The scent of a beautiful flower.
Now in heaven, I will ever be.
Nor watch a squirrel run through a tree.
No one to go to Wishing Falls.
To make special wish for me.
For now in eternal rest I’ll ever be.
So always be kind to others.
So you can join me in heaven.
To be friends eternally.
‘Neath a Tree
By Old George
Shed not a tear for me.
A soul set free.
My work on Earth is done.
‘Neath this tree my soul will be.
Waiting for you to visit me.
In the eastern sky you’ll see a star,
Changing from green to red to gold.
A special sign from me to let you know.
That my spirit is there with you.
As you let me know, that from your heart.
Your love for me will never go.
As I lay in eternal rest.
I’ll dream of friends, that I loved best.
Oh think of me now and then.
As you gather ‘neath this tree.
For my love for you will never end.
I’ll be there to wait.
To greet you at heaven’s gate.
‘Neath the tree come to visit me.
As you leave.
Do not shed a tear nor cry.
Just smile and wave goodbye.

WORLD SPORTS & OUTDOORS
Vermont Milk Bowl Postponed
to October 16 and 17
Thunder Road and American-Canadian
Tour (ACT) officials have postponed the
Northfield Savings Bank Vermont Milk Bowl
until October 16 and 17 due to an inclement
weather outlook. Booth Bros./H.P. Hood Milk
Bowl Qualifying Day will be held on
Saturday, October 16 with the 59th Vermont
Milk Bowl on Sunday, October 17 on
FloRacing.
Officials had previously cancelled the
Qualifying Day activities scheduled for
October 2 on account of rain. The forecast for
Sunday, October 3 wasn’t much better, with
most outlets calling for a 60% chance of
showers throughout the morning and afternoon.
Based on this forecast, it was determined
the track could not reasonably condense
both the Saturday and Sunday cards
into one day.
As such, both Milk Bowl programs will
now be run in full on October 16 and 17. The
event schedule and divisions remain the same
apart from the date change. Due to the
rescheduling, the Flying Tiger Oxford Open
that was scheduled for October 16 has been
cancelled.
All advance tickets and three-day pit passes
will be honored at the make-up events. If
anyone with advance tickets or a three-day pit
pass cannot attend on the new dates, please
call the Thunder Road/ACT offices at (802)
244-6963 ext. 4 or email tb@thunderroadvt.
com for further information.
“Unfortunately, crowning the 59th Milk
Bowl champion will have to wait two more
weeks,” Thunder Road/ACT managing partner
Cris Michaud said. “We might have been
able to squeeze in just the original Sunday
events based on the forecast, but not both
day’s events. The teams and fans deserve to
get a full Milk Bowl in, and postponing is the
only sure way to give them that.”
“We also apologize to the Flying Tiger
teams that were looking forward to going to
Oxford,” Michaud continued. “There was
going to be a schedule conflict unless we
waited until the end of October, and we
decided we couldn’t risk that based on past
history with Northeast weather. Tom
Mayberry of Oxford was very understanding
of the situation and of us needing to prioritize
the Milk Bowl on our schedule, and we thank
him for that.”
Northfield Savings Bank Vermont Milk
Bowl Weekend resumes Saturday, October 16
at 1:00 p.m. with Booth Bros./H.P. Hood Milk
Bowl Qualifying Day. The Maplewood/Irving
Oil Late Models will run time trials and
50-lap qualifying races to help set the Milk
Bowl starting field. The Lenny’s Shoe &
Apparel Flying Tigers and RK Miles Street
Stocks are running group time trials and the
first segment of their Mini Milk Bowls.
Saturday’s card also includes two-segment
Mini Milk Bowls for the Woodsville Guaranty
Savings Bank Strictly Stock Mini’s and Dads
4 By Tool & Supply Kids Trucks of White
Mountain Motorsports Park plus the Junior
Champ Karts.
For more information, contact the Thunder
Road offices at (802) 244-6963, media@

Vermont Ravens Concluded 15th Season
with a 7-12 loss to the Hartford Colts
The Ravens traveled to Cronin Park,
Hartford, CT for the New England Football
League Championship game of the single A
division of the New England Football League
Saturday, October 9.
Coming off a huge first round play-off win
over the Reapers, winning going away 28-0,
Vermont has been riding high and getting better
as the year progressed and seemed to be
peaking at the right time.
Having lost the first meeting with the Colts
early on, Vermont found it’s groove afterward
and while losing one more game during the
season they did beat Hartford the last game in
overtime 32-26 at home in South Burlington
finishing the season 6-2 while Hartford won
the divisions first seed at 7-1.
This with the first-round play-off game win
over the Reapers and advancing to the
Championship game sets up the rubber match
between the two teams as the tie breaker, and
winner of the trophy for 2021.
Vermont finished the season second with a
final record of 7-3 while the Colts win the
Championship and finish with a record of 9-1.

Best Car Waxes and Sealants
Car waxes and paint sealants are both effective ways to protect the
investment you have made in your car.
Both protect the paint layer from UV rays
and intense heat of the sun, moisture, oxidation,
contaminants and mechanical erosion.
Car waxes are derived from natural ingredients.
Paint sealants are entirely synthetic
polymer-based and provide lasting protection
to the color of your car. Car and Driver
rank its best, from five to one.
‘GRAND FINALE’
Zaino’s Grand Finale, a spray sealant,
boasts “a high gloss, deep wet’ finish,
thanks to its synthetic polymer formula.” Car
and Driver continues: “The shine looks great
and after a few weeks, the coat still seemed
very much intact and continues to bead water.
The only downside is it was a bit hard to
apply it evenly, so they recommend diluting
the solution if you have difficulty applying
evenly.” aino is strictly web-based. o

Ranking the Best Tires
Tires are mistakenly often an afterthought on a car. In reality, tires are
among the most important elements of a car and its performance.
The tires support the vehicle load, transmit
traction and braking forces to the surface of
the road and they absorb road shocks. That’s
not to name their role in fuel efficiency that
these unsung heroes do. Automoblog rated
tires for 2021, judging Michelin and Goodyear
the best tire brands with overall scores
of 4.5 in their rating system, followed by
Cooper, Bridgestone and Pirelli, each with
4.0. All five earned superlatives.
BEST TIRE OVERALL
That would be Michelin, according to
Automoblog, which noted an above average
mileage warranty of the Michelin Defender,
which is covered for 80,000 miles. Michelin
also offers original equipment tires and
replacement tires. Both can include a limited
warranty for up to six years on any manufacturer
defects.
BEST DURABILITY
And the winner is … Goodyear, which
boasts a rigorous in-house and independent
testing before sending its tires out to the
marketplace. Automoblog noted one study
by Test World that found Goodyear tires
outperformed other brands in almost every
category and condition, including braking,
acceleration, handling, ice, snow, rain and
dry roads.

companies from collecting
money before they provide
their service. TIP: If you have

reports “really solid results” in their testing.
After a few weeks, the publication said, the
coat still “seemed very hydrophobic.”
‘REVIVE’
By manufacturer Hydrosilex, the spray-on
silica-based Sio2 formula is designed to be
a temporary ceramic coating. “Amazing
hydrophobic qualities,” reported Car and
Driver.
THE LAST COAT
“The best wax replacement since, well,
ever,” according to Car and Driver. sers
will be “blown you away” by its effectiveness,
durability, and “especially ease of use.”
“It gave a very hard and mirror-like shine
that was extremely durable and held up from
the elements, washing, and much more.”
The Last Coat was founded by a professional
detailer with more than 20,000 hours
of real-world detailing experience. And it is
100% made in America, San Diego, California,
to be exact. At one point, The Last Coat
boasted more than 7,000 five-star reviews.
MOST AFFORDABLE
Relative newcomer – 1914, that is –
Cooper tires were considerably cheaper than
most other brands without – and this is key,
of course – without compromising quality.
In its survey, Automoblog found one Cooper
tire ranging in price from $85 to $135, depending,
of course, on vehicle and tire size.
BEST RUN FLATS
If you don’t have a spare tire – looking
at you, sports car guy – or perhaps you’re
picky about where you buy replacement
tires, Bridgestone is your tire for run flats.
Run flats are those tires “can support the
weight of a vehicle for a short time, providing
the driver with about 100 miles of range
to find a repair shop,” according to Edmunds.com.
BEST FOR HIGH PERFORMANCE
Italian manufacturer Pirelli brings an
international presence to this list.
Pirellis have long enjoyed a reputation
as a high-performance tire for luxury and
exotic cars, such as Maserati, Lamborghini,
BMW and Porsche.
It’s the specific thread patters and build
that make for excellent grip on the road
for cars that are doing more than a Sunday
drive.

Mechanic Tales
Mechanics and automobile technicians are
valuable members of the community.
Without them, getting to work, the store, church or
wherever would be a job when the car breaks down.
They’re valuable because they possess a skill that many
of us don’t have. Some customers know a little more than
others, however. Some of the best stories from mechanics,
from Popular Mechanics and Motor-Junkie.com.
IT’S THE ALTERNATOR, HE THINKS
From a mechanic in Grand Prairie, Texas, is this story
about a customer who came into the shop swearing his
alternator was bad. The parts store told him so.
“I popped the hood and solved the problem in about 10
seconds. Both battery terminals were loose, and the B-plus
cable was zip-tied in place. I replaced the missing bolt and
tightened both ends down. The car fired right up.”
FALL CAR CARE
Common
Car Car
Issues
EXHAUSTED EXHAUST SYSTEM
Exhaust systems play an integral role in the operation
of a car, filtering out some nasty stuff. A mechanic in
Florida took a test drive on customer’s car, verifying that
the car was down on power and making a rattling noise,
a common symptom of a failing catalytic converter. The
mechanic took a closer look.
“As I did, something fell out of the pipe: a rock-hard log
of built-up carbon that had formed around a broken filter
element. It was kind of like a pearl, except completely
black and not worth a penny.”
MOTOR? WHAT MOTOR?
This story was gleaned from an article on Jalopnik.
A lady complained to a mechanic that her Prius wasn’t
driving well and her dashboard was lit up with sensor
lights. The mechanics at the dealership found the problem
immediately.
When was the last time she had changed the oil, they
asked?
“Never,” she said. “The Prius doesn’t have a motor, so
why would I do that”
MY CAR IS MAKING A NOISE
It’s amazing what you can find on Reddit. A customer
said there was a “heavy clunking when stopping and the
same clunk when moving from a stop.”
There was a bowling ball in the trunk.
COMMON SENSE NOT
AS COMMON AS IT SOUNDS
A lady complained to her mechanic who had just
changed out her clutch. By the time he returned to the shop
after dropping off her car, she had already called to say she
couldn’t get the car into gear. The dutiful mechanic drove
right back out there to examine the car. He got it running
again without any problem. When he returned to work, she
had once again called to raise hades.
“This time, not just a little angry, but screaming all kinds
of curse words at us,” the mechanic said.
So back to her house the mechanic went to find that she
needed to push the seat up to press the clutch down all the
way.

Routine service and maintenance is as vital to your car as
the warranty everybody keeps calling you about.
Regardless, no good thing a fine-tuned machine in this
case lasts forever. Issues will eventually arise. They are
as common as death and taxes. However, there is a way to
reduce the chances of breakdown and expensive repairs by
keeping an eye out for this common car problems that tend
to appear, according to YourMechanic.com.
THE WARNING LIGHT
The warning light is a common issue for U.S. motor
vehicles. These lights appear in the dashboard when a sensor
in the vehicle’s computer, or engine control unit, detects a
problem. It’s best to leave the diagnosing to the professionals.
In other words, go see a mechanic.
A SPUTTERING ENGINE
Nothing will ruin a day faster than a sputtering engine,
which works best when a complex system of fuel and ignition
components are in harmony.
Always comply to recommended maintenance and timed
replacement of fuel and ignition system components as
recommended by the manufacturer.
POOR FUEL ECONOMY
This is often caused when fuel system components, such
as fuel filters, air filters, mass air flow sensors and O2 sensors
get dirty or wear out. A breakdown in this vehicular
ecosystem will cause the engine to consume more fuel than
usual. Being proactive in routine servicing is the solution.
Pre-Season
Check-Up Time.

A DEAD BATTERY
We’ve all been there. Jump in the car, try to fire up the
ignition and nothing happens. The car experts advise us to
replace your car battery every 50,000 miles or three years,
even if it’s not showing signs of slowdown. See also, damaged
alternator and battery temperature sensor.
THE STARTER
The starter motor is what cranks your engine over, which
begins the starting process. When this fails, it’s usually
because the electrical solenoid has been damaged, the starter
motor breaks, or another electrical fault occurs.
SHAKING STEERING WHEEL
Many things could be at play here. If it happens just as
you’re beginning to drive after starting the car, wheel bearings
or damaged suspension components are likely the issue.
If it happens at higher speeds, it’s typically a tire/wheel
balance issue. For amateurs, go to your mechanic to make a
diagnosis.
OVERHEATING
It might surprise you to learn that overheating is a rarity.
Proper maintenance the radiator, including flushing services,
and switching out the water pump before it goes south are
effective ways to reduce the potential for overheating issues.

AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE EXCELLENCE • ASE CERTIFIED TECHNICIANS • AUTOMOTIVE SERVICE EXCELLENCE
Topics To Discuss Before Hiring Your Next Mechanic
Few decisions weigh as heavily on automobile owners as
their choice of mechanic. A good mechanic goes a long way
toward ensuring drivers and their passengers stay safe on the
road and that those drivers’ vehicles perform at their peak
for years to come. That’s an important role to play, and it’s
why many drivers acknowledge that choosing a mechanic is
a decision that should not be taken lightly.
CERTIFICATION
Certification can go a long way toward helping drivers
find mechanics they can trust. The National Institute for Automotive
Service Excellence was founded in 1972 and continues
to work to improve the quality of automotive service
and repair by testing automotive technicians and certifying
those who live up to or exceed ASE standards. An ASEcertified
technician should have his or her credentials readily
available to prospective customers, and these credentials list
each professional’s area of certification. When shopping for
a new mechanic, make sure that he or she is ASE-certified.
In addition, discuss with the mechanic his or her work history,
including any additional areas of expertise.
PRICING POLICIES
Many mechanics offer free estimates, but that should not
be taken for granted. When bringing a car in for an estimate,
drivers should confirm with the mechanic who will conduct
the examination if the estimate is free or if they will be
charged an inspection fee.
In addition to any fees regarding estimates, drivers should
also inquire about labor costs and the payment policies at the
facility. Labor can be quite expensive, so it’s best that you
know these rates in advance of any repairs being conducted
on your vehicle. It’s also important to get a rundown of the
company payment policies, especially if your vehicle is in
need of potentially costly repairs. You don’t want the bill to
shock you once the work has been completed, so don’t hesitate
to be inquisitive before leaving a car at the garage.
PARTS
Replacing parts on a vehicle is a cause for concern for
many drivers, and rightfully so. Consumer advocacy groups
have exposed many mechanics who pass off used auto parts

as new parts, charging their customers new part prices along
the way. While there’s no way drivers can guarantee they
won’t fall victim to such criminal behavior, they can inquire
about company policies regarding vehicle parts. Does the
garage even install used parts If so, do they let drivers
choose either new or used parts before any work is done
If the garage only uses new parts, ask for parts with solid
warranties, so if the part must be replaced, you won’t have
to pay for it again.
DOCUMENTATION
The preowned vehicle market is thriving, and drivers who
take care of their vehicles have earned the right to reap their
rewards for being good owners when it comes time to sell
the car. When interviewing prospective mechanics, ask if
they are willing to provide detailed documentation of any
work they do on your vehicle. Such documentation can then
be shared with prospective buyers when you want to sell the
car, and it also serves as a way to keep the garage accountable
for all the work they have done on the car throughout
your relationship.
Is your Mechanic ASE Certified?
What it is and Why it matters
While many people have heard
the term “ASE Certified” before,
they may not know what it stands
for or how important it is. However,
when it comes to finding the right
care for your vehicle, the blue ASE
Certified sticker is something you
should always look for.
WHAT IS AN ASE
CERTIFICATION
ASE stands for “Automotive Service
Excellence.” The certification is
issued and regulated by the National Institute for Automotive
Service Excellence.
To complete their certification, mechanics must learn and
display a mastery of automotive repair. In order to do this,
they must follow a long and rigorous process.
First, automotive technicians must complete two years of
on-the-job training. Alternatively, they can finish a two-year
degree in automotive repair and complete one year of on-thejob
training.
After completing the work and education requirements,
applicants must pass a comprehensive exam. Only two thirds
of test takers pass the exam on their first attempt.
In order to maintain their certification, professionals must
re-test every five years. This ensures that they have kept their
skills and knowledge sharp, while also keeping up with new
car technology.
WHY ASE CERTIFICATION IS IMPORTANT
Have you ever gotten a recommendation for a car mechanic
(or really any service professional) that didn’t quite work
out In all likelihood, almost everyone has.
ASE Certifications take the guesswork out of finding a
“good” mechanic.
When you see the blue star logo, you can be sure that your
automotive specialist has demonstrated in-depth knowledge
of automotive repair. They are also guaranteed to have a great
deal of hands-on experience.

ASE CERTIFIED TECHS HAVE FUNDAMENTAL
KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS
In order to be accepted into the course, service professionals
must already have prior experience. This weeds out anyone
who has just a passing interest in automotive technology.
Once technicians are accepted into the program, they
will be tested on the fundamentals of automobile repair and
maintenance.
Among the specifics they are tested on are: automatic and
manual transmission systems, brakes, suspension, frontwheel
drive transaxles, engine repairs, electrical systems,
engine performance and heating and AC repair.
ALWAYS UP-TO-DATE
Anyone who has owned or driven a car for more than a few
years knows how quickly things change. Everything from
suspension systems to entertainment systems is becoming
more sophisticated.
Keeping up with these advancements is incredibly important
for technicians. For example, ten years ago you wouldn’t
have been able to find a mechanic to repair ferrofluid-based
suspensions. That’s because ten years ago they didn’t exist.
However, ASE technicians must re-certify every five years.
This ensures that they are not just up-to-date on all the latest
automobile technology, but experts on them.
A WEALTH OF SHARED KNOWLEDGE
While it is a certification at its core, ASE technicians are
also a community.
There are more than 300,000 ASE-Certified professionals
around the nited States. These professionals share a giant
body of knowledge. Together, they can mine this information
to work towards the goal of top-level automobile care and
service.
