Vermont Students Convene to Declare Their
Priorities for the 2022 Legislative Session
Vermont students representing the Vermont
Youth Lobby and the Vermont Student
Anti-Racism Network united on Zoom and
declared their priorities for the 2022 legislative
session. In this address they looked back
to their calls to action for the state seen in the
Climate Congress Declaration and the work
of the Vermont Student Anti-Racism Network,
and they highlighted the actions they
have called for that have been left untouched.
“Vermont legislators need to implement
the Climate Action Plan, pass the environment
justice bill, pass anti-racism standards
in education, pass the Bottle Bill and so much
more,” said Jenna Hirschman, a student from
Essex High School in Chittenden County, representing
the Vermont Youth Lobby.
“From the perspective of us young people,
there are an array of bills that the legislature
could and should pass this session related to
anti-racism. These include equity in housing,
abolition of slavery, removing armed officers
from schools, prohibiting discrimination, and
providing reform for the criminal justice system,”
said Addie Lentzner, a student from Arlington
Memorial High School in Bennington
County, representing the Vermont Student
Anti-Racism Network.
Students emphasized their frustration with
lack of action on climate in the state legislature
and demanded better leadership from
the legislature on this issue. “Every new year
I have high hopes. I have little dreams and
prayers that things will go right and that I will
see direct and just climate action from legislators
and decision makers. That people who
are supposed to be dealing with this will start
doing their job. I have had high hopes since I
was in the third grade and I have seen the momentum
build, I have seen the beginning of
solutions, but I have seen far from enough to
fulfill my hopes. The time has come to pair my
hopes with expectations I’ve decided because
it is no longer acceptable to me that people are
allowed to sit in a position of power and make
promises to me that they don’t keep,” said
Django Grace, a student at Brattleboro Union
High School in Windham County.
“True leadership often requires making
• • •
tough decisions which can be confrontational.
To help stop climate change, some tough decisions
are going to have to be made about
changing the way Vermonters rely on fossil
fuels as part of their everyday lives. Anything
short of this will fail to stop the climate catastrophe
currently engulfing our planet,” said
Willow Sterling-Proulx, a student at Montpelier
High School in Washington County.
The press conference ended with a call to
action from Pacem School student Miriam
Serota-Winston. “So, like so many before us,
we are faced with a seemingly insurmountable
problem. Where do we start? We start by
speaking up for our home, for our rights, and
for our future. We start by showing up together
for what we believe in: a just, equitable,
and safe future for us all. We are here and we
have a chance to fix this. The bills that other
speakers today have spoken about include
concrete action to fix this crisis. If we show up
and if we work hard, we can take that rapidly
disappearing chance to stop climate change
in its tracks. Together we can ensure that not
only is there a future for all of us but that that
future is just and equitable. We can make it to
tomorrow and we can make that tomorrow the
best it can be.”
This surely won’t be the last we hear from
this courageous group of young leaders. Vermont
and the state legislature can expect to
see and hear a lot more action from these
groups throughout the session – they are not
going away.
The Vermont Youth Lobby is launching a
Fridays for Future program, where every Friday
students from across the state will be doing
legislative activism work.
“Youth care about these issues and legislators
need to as well. That is why we are
launching a Fridays for the Future Youth
Lobby program. Every Friday we will have
students from Vermont doing legislative activism
work. Because we care, we care about
these issues, we care enough to be here today,
we care enough to be there every Friday, we
care about the world we are going to be handed.
It’s our future and we want a say.” – Jenna
Hirschman Essex High School.
Dust off the Yellow Scarves, School Choice
Week is Back in Vermont
Great students and great schools deserve a
celebration. That’s the message Vermont families
are bringing to their events for National
School Choice Week 2022.
Vermont schools, organizations, and individuals
are planning 45 celebrations for the
week, which will feature more than 26,000
activities nationwide. Among the notable celebrations
in Vermont will be an event at the
Capitol featuring homeschool and private
school students and educators on Thursday,
Jan. 27.
Across the country, more than two dozen
U.S. landmarks and notable buildings will
light up in special colors to mark the week.
The week’s celebrations focus on community
building, sharing student and teacher
successes, and raising awareness about how
to put kids first when it comes to education.
The goal? Supporting families and highlighting
schools so more kids can find learning fits
where they thrive.
Here in Vermont, there are a variety of
educational options to attend including: traditional
public schools with exible open
enrollment, magnet schools, online learning,
private schools, and homeschooling. Students
in specific Vermont towns are eligible
for a tuitioning program, which funds their
attendance at nonreligious public or private
schools outside their communities.
“Given its original history of school choice
dating back to the 1800s, it’s time for Vermont
to keep connecting families to educational
opportunity,” said Andrew Campanella, president
of National School Choice Week. “We
hope that during this School Choice Week
school spirit spreads among all K-12 communities
and renews the education conversation,
helping it become one of greater collaboration
and positivity.”

choice, use the school finder tool to search

their plans with reporters upon request. For

VSAC Response to the Governor’s Budget Address
• • •
The Vermont Student Assistance Corp.
(VSAC) thanks Gov. Phil Scott for his leadership
and support and for recognizing that
making a strong commitment to expanding
educational and training opportunities in Vermont
is essential to addressing our state’s demographic
challenge.
“Vermont’s workforce development, affordable
higher education, more internships
opportunities, and renewed emphasis on
trades training for Vermonters are critical to
build the Vermont economy of the future,”
said Scott Giles, VSAC President & CEO.
“Initiatives led by VSAC including 802 Opportunity
and Advancements Grants have
proven very successful. Investing wisely in
these programs create huge dividends for Vermont
families and for the Vermont economy.”
VSAC Highlights:
Workforce Recruitment and Retention
$10 million to reduce education costs for
those working towards jobs in the trades, like
CDL drivers, plumbers, and welders, including
$3 million to help students attain a nursing
degree.
Advancement Grant
$1 Million added to VSAC’s Advancement
Grants to help adults pursue non-degree training
programs and put people into careers with
higher wages like LNAs, EMTs, line workers
and web programmers.
802 Opportunity
$1.5 million for 802 Opportunity to allow
any Vermonter from a family earning less
than $75,000 to attend Community College of
Vermont tuition free. Since it began last fall,
some 1,750 students have participated in 802
Opportunity. The current eligibility cut-off is
a family Adjusted Gross Income of less than
$50,000 per year.
VSAC looks forward to working with the
governor and with the legislature to fully
fund these vital efforts to meet today’s critical
workforce needs and build Vermont’s workforce
of the future.

Big Money Reeled in During Fishing Sock Fundraiser
Lenny’s Shoe & Apparel snagged $5,260
for the Vermont Foodbank and JCEO Plattsburgh
Foodshelf by casting a clever fundraising
event this holiday season.
For the fifth year in a row, enny’s hooked
up with Darn Tough Vermont and Skida
Headwear to create limited-edition, Vermontmade
socks, hats, headbands, neck warmers
and hair scrunchies. These custom items featured
enny’s icon Sasquatch fishing for the
big one and were released exclusively at enny’s
in October. enny’s threw in $2.00 from
every item sold to the Vermont Foodbank in
Barre and JCEO Foodshelf in Plattsburgh.
“It is clear that together, we can all make
a difference for our neighbors. We are heartened
and amazed by the impactful outcome
of this collaboration between Skida, enny’s,
and Darn Tough. This support ensures our
neighbors can thrive,” offered John Sayles,
CEO of the Vermont Foodbank.
“JCEO is grateful for the enduring support.
It is through the generosity and activism of
our community that we are able to provide
essential resources and services to our neighbors
in need; in 2020 alone, CEO was able
to distribute more than 1,258,000 pounds of
food. This work is, truly, a group effort, and
because of local businesses like Lenny’s,
Darn Tough, and Skida, there are meals being
provided to families and individuals who may
have otherwise gone hungry,” said Ellie ent,
Development Director of CEO.
Lenny’s is thrilled to continue this tradition
with Darn Tough and Skida and will be releasing
new, limited-edition items next holiday
season.
Over the past 11 years, Lenny’s has donated
over $195,000 to the Vermont Foodbank
and JCEO Plattsburgh Foodshelf.
Corrections Moves to Web-Based Supervision
Fee Payment Portal
The Vermont Department of Corrections
is announcing an update to the Department’s
Supervision Fee Payment processing. The
Department is now operating on a web-based
portal for Supervision Fee Payment processing
to better align with evolving technology
and ease the burden on those under supervision.
Vermont DOC utilized the Offender Payment
Coupon, which limited the payments
of Supervision Fees to only bank checks and
money orders. With this new portal, personal
credit cards, VISA/Mastercard enabled debit
cards, and electronic checks will be allowable
at no additional cost to the individual. When
payments are submitted through the portal,
an emailed receipt specifying the individual’s
transaction details will be sent to them as
backup documentation for the payment made.
• • •
Vermont DOC is covering the cost of those
transaction fees.
“Vermont DOC’s new web-based payment
portal for supervision fees is another step in
the department’s commitment to modernizing
our processes and easing the burden on those
under our supervision,” said Commissioner
Nicholas Deml. “I am proud of our team’s
continuous effort to improve and I look forward
to future efforts to streamline and adjust
our system to respond to the needs of Vermonters.”
The Offender Payment Coupon, along with
physical bank checks and money orders, will
be phased out by January 2023. Supervisees
are encouraged to explore the new electronic
Supervision Fee process and submit any questions
to Probation and Parole offices.

Vermont Works for Women Announces New
Gender Equity Advancement Roundtable
Vermont Works for Women (VWW)
announced the launch of a new program for
Vermont employers and educational institutions:
Gender Equity Advancement
Roundtable (GEAR).
GEAR coalesces businesses, nonprofits,
and advocates to learn about best practices
and policies for supporting women in the
workplace and to collectively advance gender
equity and economic justice in the state of
Vermont.
“We all know that equity work is ongoing
and requires commitment, sustained learning,
and accountability,” says Alison Lamagna,
Director of Programs and Gender Equity
Services at Vermont Works for Women.
“Through GEAR, VWW will be providing
employers with support and resources as they
work to advance gender equity in their workplaces.”
GEAR members receive an invitation to
four roundtable sessions each year, where
they have the opportunity to hear from gender
and equity experts, consult with VWW on
best practices and policies, and network with
Vermont businesses and professionals who

Secretary of State Jim Condos Announces
New Pathway to Licensure for Vermonters
Trained Outside the U.S.
Secretary of State Jim Condos announced
the Office of Professional Regulation’s (OPR)
adoption of Foreign Credentialing Rules
which create a pathway for foreign-trained
individuals to become licensed in their field
in Vermont. The new rules became effective
November 19th, and come in response to an
identified barrier to licensure faced by many
New Americans and refugees.
“The foreign credentialing process is a
more efficient way of getting qualified professionals
with foreign experience into the
Vermont workforce, while maintaining public
protection” said Secretary of State Jim
Condos. “This new process aligns with our
office’s broader goal of reducing unnecessary
barriers to occupational licensing. Expediting
the verification of licensure requirements is
important in supporting Vermont’s workforce,
and in these unprecedented times it is
essential in helping to resolve the significant
shortages that we are currently seeing in nursing
and other healthcare professions.”
Through the new process, individuals who
obtained their professional license or experience
outside the U.S. will get a determination
of equivalency from an external credential
evaluation service. If the evaluation determines
the person’s foreign work experience,
• • •
education, training, and exams are equivalent
to what is required for a Vermont license, a
report goes directly to OPR who notifies the
applicant to apply for endorsement.
Licensure by endorsement is a streamlined
path to licensure in lieu of the traditional
licensing path, which can be more time-consuming
and costly and often includes formal
education, training, and examinations which
the foreign trained applicant may already
have.
“We recognize the location of one’s past
professional experience alone should not be a
barrier to licensure in our state,” said OPR
Director Lauren Hibbert. “Although OPR is
not resourced to evaluate foreign educational
and training programs for each of the 50 professions
regulated by our office, we are confident
this process of utilizing third-party evaluators
will make it easier and more efficient
for new Americans, refugees, and other individuals
with experience outside of the U.S. to
work in their chosen field in Vermont.”
The Foreign Credentialing Rules were
authorized by 3 V.S.A.§ 127, a law enacted in
2019. More information can be found on
OPR’s website: https://sos.vermont.gov/opr/

Vermont Creative Futures Act to Boost Creative Sector Recovery
The Vermont Creative Network is advocating in the
Vermont Legislature for an economic recovery package that
invests $17.5 million in American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA)
funds for cultural non-profits and creative businesses, a sector
profoundly jeopardized by the pandemic.
Companion bills in the House and Senate, co-sponsored by
Rep. Stephanie Jerome and Sen. Alison Clarkson, with an
additional 27 co-signers, would support a Creative Economy
Recovery Program to include:
• $10 million in Creative Economy Grants for organizations
and businesses that sustained substantial losses due to Covid
or who continue to operate at limited capacity
• $4 million to help nonprofit cultural organizations with
facility adaptions, for example, to purchase air-purification
systems and hand-sanitizer dispensers, assess and upgrade
HVAC systems, or to expand outdoor seating
• $2 million for transitional costs required to implement safe
public programming, such as touchless ticketing, online sales
platforms, and Covid-related health and safety protocols
The grants could reach over 200 creative businesses and
cultural organizations in Vermont to help them rebuild and
recover and to ensure the viability of these important community
institutions. Grant recipients would include museums,
theaters, galleries, studios, performing arts venues, and other
cultural organizations, as well as other creative sector businesses.
Recovery is expensive. In order to welcome audiences
back, for example, theaters and museums are hiring more
front-line staff to conduct vaccine-card checks, purchasing
masks for performers, crew, and staff; and investing in deepcleaning
between events or tent rentals to create outdoor
venues.
The recovery package also sets aside $750,000 for Creative
Spaces Grants to revitalize vacant retail or office spaces
through art and culture, such as events, workshops, studios or
exhibitions. Grants would provide rental income to landlords
while enabling artists or creative businesses to thrive and in
turn sparking energy in towns and villages.
The recovery package also includes $500,000 to support
statewide and regional marketing of arts and cultural events,
venues, and creative sector businesses, and $250,000 to sustain
and build the Vermont Creative Network in order to
implement the CreateVT Action Plan.
Vermont’s creative sector lost more than 8,000 jobs and
more than $216 million in sales from April to July 2020 during
the first year of the pandemic, according to a Brookings
Institution study. In a more recent analysis, the 197 cultural
organizations that applied for the council’s most recent
Covid-relief grants reported $36 million in lost revenue from
April 2020 to mid-2021.
Vermont is scheduled to receive more than $1.25 billion in
coronavirus state and local fiscal recovery funding from
• • •
• • •
ARPA.
Last session, the legislature provided support to these organizations,
but the financial picture for Vermont’s cultural
organizations continues to be dire, especially now, while
Omicron is discouraging people from gathering in theaters,
museums, and community centers.
“COVID has shown us how important the arts are to rural
and urban communities throughout Vermont – it is vital that
we support this sector of our economy,” said Jerome. “We
know that creative businesses, performing arts venues and
cultural organizations drive economic growth, build stronger
communities, and draw new residents. The pandemic has
dramatically jeopardized the economic viability of the arts
throughout the state, and we need to help.”
“These businesses were the first to close to protect public
health and will be among the last to reopen. Many are still
struggling, and the future remains uncertain,” said Clarkson.
“Support for the creative sector is an investment in Vermont’s
future.”
An example of a Vermont town that has benefited from the
creative sector is Rutland. Through a coordinated effort by the
local Chamber of Commerce, downtown businesses and community
groups, a growing list of murals, now nearing 20, and
marble sculptures, currently nine with another six already
committed, has transformed the streetscape and walkability of
the community. New online apps and maps send foot traffic
winding through the streets, visiting retail shops, and eating in
local restaurants.
“Public art is a foundational strategy for attracting new
small businesses and visitors to Rutland’s downtown,” said
Rutland business owner Mark Foley in his testimony before
the Tourism Caucus in support of the bill.
“We routinely see families and other visitors going from
piece to piece taking photos with and enjoying this incredible
art. Local restaurants and shops have seen significant increases
in day traffic over the last two years, and credit this public
art as a primary driver,” he noted.
The Senate bill (S.202) is currently in the Senate Economic
Development, House and General Affairs, and the House bill
(H.624) is in the House Committee on Commerce and
Economic Development.

Sharon Man Captures Rare Ice Circles In the White River
NOFA-VT Announces 40th Annual Winter Conference, Dream into Being
The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont
(NOFA-VT) announced their 40th Annual Winter Conference,
Dream into Being, is happening February 17th through March
5th both online and on farms around Vermont. Registration is
now open!
NOFA-VT’s winter conference brings together hundreds of
farmers, homesteaders, gardeners, land managers, educators,
students, producers, policy-makers, and activists to learn,
connect, organize, and celebrate the movement toward a more
economically viable, ecologically sound, and socially just
agricultural future.
This year’s conference is mostly online with over 40 workshops
and panel discussions, a featured speaker series, trivia
night, film screening, and more. The conference also offers
opportunities to connect in-person at outdoor socials on local
farms where participants can gather around bonfires, meet up
with friends, do outdoor activities like skiing and sledding,
and go on farm tours.
This is the fortieth year NOFA-VT is organizing their winter
conference and the second year of offering it virtually.
What began as an annual meeting of farmers in a church basement
in Montpelier in the eighties has transformed into a
landmark event for New England’s agricultural and food community.
Pre-pandemic, the conference attracted over a thousand
people to UVM’s Davis Center for a three day in-person
event.
Vermont Fish and Wildlife Partners with Association of
Vermont Conservation Commissions On Updated
Handbook to Tackle 21st Century Challenges
The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department is pleased to
partner with the Association of Vermont Conservation
Commissions (AVCC) to announce a new handbook designed
as a resource for Vermonters serving on municipal conservation
commissions.
According to the department, approximately half of
Vermont towns and cities have an active conservation commission.
These local groups of volunteers take on a wide
range of projects, from removing invasive species on town
lands, to raising funds for conservation deals, to leading birding
outings in their communities.
“We are incredibly grateful to the Vermonters who dedicate
so much time and effort towards conservation in their communities,”
says department conservation planning biologist
Jens Hilke. “Conservation commissions can be the backbone
of local efforts to protect fish, wildlife, plants, and their habitats.”
The AVCC first published the document that serves as
inspiration for this current handbook in the 1990s, to help
volunteers sustain town conservation commissions.
Recognizing that it was time for an update, the AVCC
Program Gives Scoop On Animals
Kids 8-18 can gain a better appreciation of different farm
animals through a virtual learning opportunity offered by the
University of Vermont (UVM) Extension 4-H program this
winter.
Animal Scoops will be presented via Zoom on four consecutive
Tuesdays from 5-6 p.m., beginning February 22nd.
Enrollment in 4-H is not required to participate.
UVM Extension 4-H educators will teach the sessions,
sharing information on the animal of the day through fun
activities such as videos, trivia, recipes and hands-on exercises.

Michael Miller from Sharon was kind enough to share with
Compass Vermont the images of an ice circle he captured in
the White River, just below White Brook Road in Sharon.
Brian Jackson, a meteorologist with the National Oceanic
and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), who has dedicated
his career to the study of snow and ice, told the Smithsonian
that “ice circles occur when moving water forces ice to slowly
rotate.
“What’s happening here is shear—when on one side of the
ice you have water that’s moving faster than on the other side,
causing the ice to rotate,” Jackson says. “The result is an eddy
current, like a whirlpool.”
The meteorologist explains that there are two ways for ice
circles to form. The first happens when there’s ice in a stationary
area but a change in water speed due to a topographic
force, such as a bend in a river, causes the ice to rotate until it
forms the shape of a circle.
The other instance occurs when a hunk of ice breaks off
of an ice sheet that’s located in a rotation zone. “The water
surrounding it will cause it to rotate, naturally forming into
a circle as any pointy edges start to grind down as they brush
against the surrounding ice,” he says.
While they are indeed a unique thing to see in nature, odds
are most Vermonters won’t mind them going away if it means
spring is on the way.
CompassVermont.Com is an independent publication
founded by a native Vermonter, providing non-editorial news
and stories presented in concert with the culture, mindset, and
values of the Green Mountain State.
“The beauty of an online conference is the accessibility,”
said Zea Luce, NOFA-VT’s Events & Engagement
Coordinator. “After last year’s conference we heard from
many busy farmers, parents, and other attendees who were
thrilled to connect and learn from one another from the comfort
of their homes, without the hassle of travel or lodging.”
“Whenever I attend a NOFA-VT conference, I always
come away feeling so grateful to be a part of this community
that NOFA-VT supports, nurtures, and holds together,” said
Ryan Fitzbeauchamp, owner and farmer at Evening Song
Farm in Cuttingsville, Vermont. “Somehow, even when the
conference is virtual, I take away the same joy in being connected
to this wide community of growers, gardeners, educators,
activists.”
“This year’s conference theme, Dream into Being, is an
invitation to dream big together: to get bold about naming the
future we all long for– and need,” said NOFA-VT’s Executive
Director, Grace Oedel. “After what we’ve all gone through
these last two years, it’s never been more important to come
together and imagine new ways of growing food, feeding our
communities, stewarding our land, taking care of our home,
and building a more resilient food system.”
Registration for the conference is offered at a sliding scale
of $0-$150 dollars. The conference is free for Black,
Indigenous, and people of color.

began work on this second edition handbook in partnership
with department conservation planning staff in the Community
Wildlife Program.
In addition to a complete revision of the existing chapters
on basics like starting a new conservation commission and
creating a budget, the new edition includes sections on digital
communications, partnering with outside organizations, and
fundraising. These additions will help conservation commissions
meet modern challenges, such as reaching new audiences
and tackling climate change.
As former AVCC board chair Nancy Everheart writes in the
new handbook’s foreword, “conservation has never felt more
urgent – and this handbook will help inspire and support the
people who help make it happen.”
“We’re especially excited to showcase examples of success
stories from across the state that demonstrate how conservation
commissions dreamed up and accomplished ambitious
conservation projects,” adds Hilke. “Each chapter includes
several of these inspiring stories.”
The newly revised handbook is available online on the
AVCC website.
Horsin’ Around (March 1), Got Your Goat (March 8) and
Don’t be Sheepish (March 15).
Preregistration is required by the day before each session to
receive the link to join the program. To register, go to https://
go.uvm.edu/animalscoops. Kids may choose to attend any or
all sessions.

Jason A. Anzback
November 25, 1983 – December 28, 2021
Jason was a brilliant artist and animal
lover. He loved animals and they loved
him freely. Wild birds would land on his
shoulders for a brief second before ying
away. He never met a dog that didn’t
adore him and he loved them right back.
With his art he depicted a world in which
he saw landscapes, people, cars, and cities
beautifully rendered and crafted with

and had a deep capacity for love. Born in New York
City, he spent his early years in ouisville, Y, before moving
with his mother to Vermont. He is survived by his mother,
Cecile ohnston of Cabot, VT; siblings Sarah Coffman of as
Vegas, NV and Ferdinand Sawyer of Portland, OR; father
Harald Anzback of Pownal, VT; grandparents anet Sawyer

life at a future date and buried in East Hampton, New York.

Kevin John Collins
BARRE TOWN - evin ohn Collins, 56
of Barre suddenly took his journey to
heaven on January 14th, 2022. Born on
December 18th, 1965 to ohn and ucille
Collins at the Barre City hospital, Kevin
lived in Barre most of his life and spent
some time in Kansas.
As a young boy, his parents would
often find him farming at the Bisson’s
Farm. Throughout his younger years he
would work for various farms in the area. evin also was an
active member of the FFA. He always said he could tame any
animal and that they all loved him. He had a pet bull that ate
out of his back jeans pocket at yle Haven Farm.
He attended St. Monica’s School and later got his diploma
from Spaulding High School. He was an altar boy during this
time and continued even after high school for a time.
In 2006 he met the love of his life, Pam Massey, spending
16 glorious years together. Together they shared three children,
essica Boisvert and her husband ason; Chantel Marie
orajkic and her husband Asmir; and Alan Storti and his partner
Liz. He is also survived by his mother, Lucille Collins; his
brother, Michael Collins and wife Bonnie; and niece, Ashley
Collins. Kevin was predeceased by his father John Collins and
his sister Kristine Collins.
All who knew evin, knew what an avid fisherman he was.
Hunting for those elusive Salmon, then deciding catching a
ake Trout would suffice, but he always said that Bass were
stupid fish. He was active in many fishing derbies including
the oosepoint Campground ids Fishing Tournament with
his grandson acob, helping him to catch that “big one”.
Back country roads were a passion he shared with Pam
almost nightly. Sunsets and country critters, mostly deer
was one of the treasures he would stop and stare at for long
moments.
Snowmobiling was his hobby and he became a groomer for
the Barretown Thunder Chickens. He used to chuckle because
one of their first dinner dates was a packaged cold meal sitting
in the groomer under a full moon. evin enjoyed making the
white highways the best he could for all to enjoy the next day.

Governor Encourages Vermonters to Order At-Home Tests
Governor Phil Scott strongly encouraged Vermonters to
order at-home, rapid COVID-19 tests at covidtests.gov.
This Biden Administration’s initiative – which launched
this week – is similar to a program piloted by the state.
Through this new federal program, each household is eligible
to receive four tests, which are expected to ship within 7-12
days of ordering. Supplies are limited.
“Rapid at-home tests are a useful tool that will help us
continue to move forward,” said Governor Scott. “Vermont
has worked hard to gain supply of these tests, and I appreciate
President Biden’s recent efforts to do the same. The USPS
website is up and running now, but federal supplies remain
limited, so Vermonters should act fast.”
Any Vermonter without internet access can call the
Governor’s Constituent Services Office at (802) 828-3333.
“My team will help complete the online request form for
you,” the Governor continued.
The federal effort is similar to the state of Vermont’s successful
pilot partnership with the National Institutes of
Vermont Updates Test at Home Program for K-12 Schools
Radon, a Radioactive Gas and the 2nd Leading Cause of Lung Cancer, is
Detected at High Levels in More Than 20% of Vermont Homes
January is National Radon Action Month, an annual observance
that focuses on increasing the public’s awareness of
the health risk from radon, which is the second leading cause
of lung cancer. During January and throughout the year, the
American Lung Association is encouraging radon testing for
everyone, including homeowners, renters, real estate agents,
building managers and school administrators.
Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas emitted from
the ground that is odorless, tasteless and colorless. It can enter
a home through cracks in walls, basement oors, foundations
and other openings. Radon can be present at high levels inside
homes, schools and other buildings. Radon gas is measured in
picoCuries per liter (pCi/L) of air. The EPA recommends taking
action to reduce radon if the result is 4.0 pCi/L or greater
aiming to get your radon level to the lowest level possible.
According to the Lung Association’s State of Lung Cancer
Report, an estimated 21.7% of Vermont radon test results
equal or exceed the EPA Action level of 4 pCi/L. Nationally,
21.8% of homes are at or above the action level.
“Radon in homes is more common than you think. In fact,
at least 1 in 15 homes in the U.S. have elevated levels of radon
and this is something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. Exposure
to radon is the second leading cause of lung cancer in the
United States,” said Albert Rizzo, M.D., chief medical officer
for the American Lung Association. “The good news is that it
is easy to test for radon. Do-it-yourself test kits are simple to

Health, which sent 350,000 tests to Vermonters. Many of
these tests have already arrived at Vermonters’ homes.
As the state awaits the arrival of an additional 150,000 tests
it ordered for the pilot program, it is reevaluating the best use
of these tests – including potentially allocating them directly
to schools, child care programs and long-term care facilities
– now that the general public has access to the new federal
program.
Vermont is the national leader in both PCR testing and the
distribution of at-home tests. Vermont has consistently performed
the most PCR tests per capita of any state. Since late
December, the state has also distributed about one million
at-home tests directly to Vermonters, schools, child care programs,
long term care facilities and other community partners.
States’ access to supplies of at-home tests continues to be a
challenge. The Scott Administration will continue to work to
acquire more, and the nation’s governors are working with the
federal government to improve coordination in procurement
and distribution.

Here are five important things to know about radon:
• Radon-related lung cancers are responsible for an estimated
21,000 deaths annually in the United States.
• Smoking and radon exposure can separately increase the risk
of lung cancer. If you smoke, exposure to both tobacco and
radon enhances the risk of lung cancer even further.
• The only way to detect radon in your home is to test the air.
EPA urges anyone with radon levels above 4 picoCuries per
liter (pCi/L) take action to fix their homes. Both the EPA and
the American Lung Association recommend that mitigation be
considered if levels are greater than 2 pCi/L. After high levels
are detected, a radon mitigation system should be installed by
a radon professional.
• Radon testing should always be done when you buy a home
and after building a new home. Many states now require
radon results (if known) to be disclosed during a real estate
transaction. Some states require testing in priority buildings
like schools and daycares.
• When high levels of radon are detected, professional radon
mitigation should be a priority. Do-it-yourself radon mitigation
is typically not an effective long-term solution. Some
state health departments offer financial assistance or low
interest loans for radon mitigation.

Ten Most Common Scams in Vermont in 2021
By CompassVermont.com
Reports of scams to the Attorney General’s Consumer Assistance
Program (CAP) totaled 5,154 in 2021, up just slightly
from the previous year’s 5,021 reports.
Two variations of the Computer Tech Support scam and the
Online Listing scam claimed the number one, three, and seven
spots respectively on CAP’s list of top ten scams in 2021, covering
nearly a quarter of the total reports filed by Vermonters.
Businesses were also targeted by internet-based scams in
2021. The Business Imposter Email Scam, where scammers
represent themselves as business personnel to extort funds,
had 62 reports fileda figure that did not make the top ten but
notably jumped nearly 50% from the previous year.
“The prevalence of internet-based scams in 2021 sends a
clear message about the importance of staying safe online in
our social and work lives,” said Attorney General T.J. Donovan.
“If you receive a suspicious contact, whether it’s made
by email, online message, or phone, know that CAP is here
to help.”
Impersonation scams remain of concern, with an adapted
law enforcement and lawyer imposter scam at the number four
spot in 2021, threatening arrest and lawsuits on unsuspecting
call recipients. The Family Emergency/Imposter scam, which
includes the Grandchild Imposter also known as the “Grandparent
scam” and needy friends and relatives asking for funds,
made the top ten list again in 2021. A similar scam, which
fabricates a romantic relationship or friendship of confidence,
the Romance Imposter scam, saw a 36% increase in reports.
As imposter scams are of ongoing concern in Vermont, CAP
recently distributed a video imposter scam prevention project,
highlighting three concerning imposter scams with high dollar
loss: the Romance Imposter scam, the Family Emergency/
Imposter Scam, and the Business Imposter Email Scam.
As highlighted in the prevention project, taking steps to
verify can help individuals avoid scams. A simple verification
process to follow for all scams is the SLOW Method:
S – SLOW DOWN
Scammers pressure you to act urgently. Don’t!
L – LOG THE CONTACT
Write down the info of the contact and disengage.
O – ONE CALL
Make one call to a primary contact and discuss the incident.
W – WHO CARES?
Call CAP to identify and report scams at 1-800-649-2424.
CAP reminds Vermonters to never give out personal information
or make payments to parties you cannot verify.
To the Editor
In the fall of the year the country fairs come to New
England, it is a tradition of the highest order. Many people
plan for months considering entries of pies, vegetables, maple
products, eggs, and crafts of all manner, animals are prepped
for months ahead in anticipation of show day.
There are rides for the kids, food to tempt any palate along
with displays for the home, garden, and garage. All around the
fairgrounds there are side shows, they may be on a green area,
in a lean-too near a cattle barn or any number of other places.
Those sideshows are always entertaining, there may even be a
future superstar among them, but it is in the evenings on the
racetrack, in the grandstand where the main event take place,
fans come from all over just to attend the main event, the main
event is usually a name recognized by everyone. It’s the big
time with lights and sound systems that cost as much as a
small house. A fancy bus for the star and huge tractor trailers
for the equipment may be parked nearby. Announcements of
the main event are made months ahead so folks can make
plans to attend.

George’s One-Inch Beef Stew
By G. E. Shuman
In case you hadn’t noticed, it’s been
pretty cold lately, and I think we all
need something to warm us up a bit.
So, I decided to share my quick recipe for
beef stew. It’s something I’ve refined over
the years, (If you believe
that, you shouldn’t.) and it’s super easy to
make. My family and neighbors love it, and
I hope you will too. Please note:
Measurements, quantities, and even
ingredients can be varied. (They always
are when I make it.) If there’s one
thing I can’t stand it’s following the
rules, even in following a recipe.
Anyway, here goes.
The very loosely defined and less
adhered to list of ingredients:
You will need 1-2 lbs. of beef, (whatever you can afford
right now, without selling your house) cut into approximately
one-inch cubes. (One of the reasons I call it one inch beef
stew.)
You will also need a bunch of carrots, peeled, and also cut
into one-inch lengths. (Another reason it’s one inch beef
stew.) I like chunky stew, so I use a lot of carrots and I try to
get those big fat over-grown looking ones and cut them a bit
diagonally. My five-year-old granddaughter taught me that
that shape is a rhombus. She really did. You could also use a
bag of those pre-peeled finger carrots, but I don’t like fingers
in my soup, so I don’t.
Now you need five or six average sized potatoes, cut, you
guessed it, into (approximately) one-inch cubes. You can peel
the taters first, if comp’ny’s comin’.
1 small can diced tomatoes. What more can I say about
that?
• • •
Scammers will ask for payment in all forms, including wire
transfer, cryptocurrency, cash, peer-to-peer payment, money
order, check, credit/debit card, and gift cards. If you have sent
money to a scammer, follow recovery steps now.
Vermonters can help stop scams by sharing information
with community members and by reporting scams to CAP
to support educational outreach. To report scams, complete
CAP’s online scam reporting form or call 1-800-649-2424.
The Top 10 Scams of 2021:
Computer Tech Support (Variation)
Social Security Number Phishing
Computer Tech Support (Traditional)
Legal Authority Imposter
Sweepstakes/Lotteries
Identity Theft
Online Listings
Medicare Card Phishing
Family Emergency/Imposter
Auto Warranty Expiration
1. Computer Tech Support (Variation)
The scam: A variation of the traditional Computer Tech
Support scam (see #3 below). You receive an automated
phone call, text message, or email claiming that you have been
charged for an online order, have an outstanding balance on
your account, or are sent an item you did not order. The scammer
then instructs individuals to call a number provided in the
scammer’s communications to get a refund or to resolve the
charge. At this point, they will ask you to provide your card
number to “confirm your account” or prompt you to provide
them remote access to your computer. As soon as the scammer
has remote access to your device, they can access every single
document, file, and transaction you have saved to your device.
How to spot the scam: Companies will not call with tech
support unless you requested that they contact you. If you receive
a package that you do not recall ordering, check your
statement history to see if you have been charged. Packages
without a return address are highly suspicious.
What to do: Hang up the phone immediately and do not
call back. If you receive an email or text regarding a package
delivery or order that has been made, do not click on any links.
Mark the email as “Junk” or “Spam”. Furthermore, never allow
remote access to your device to unknown parties. If you
are concerned about charges made to your accounts, log in to
your account directly and contact your financial institution. If
you receive a package that you did not order, mark it return to
sender and give it back to the mail carrier. cont. on page 21
I have written all this dear reader to paint a word picture for
you. The history of New England would be sorely incomplete
without including the role that Christianity has played in the
great Northeast. It was outcast Christians that fled from Great
Britain that settled along the shores of Massachusetts and
formed a strong foundation for America’s future. However,
the importance that Christianity has played in New England
has waxed and waned throughout its history.
Over the years I have asked many different people if they
are Christian In faith, usually the answer is ‘yes’, but unfortunately
their lifestyle doesn’t always agree with their answer.
What I think has happened, in so many cases, is that that
person has relegated their Christianity to “side-show” status
because the things of the world that have become their “mainevent”.
In revival, or in an awakening, Christianity becomes
the Main event, it is Jesus Christ and what He has done for us
that is moved into first place, He becomes our main event. I
pray that today you will make that transition in your life, you
will never be the same.

2 32 oz. cartons of beef broth. Ditto.
1-2 largish onions peeled, chopped. (You can’t ‘cube’
onions, but don’t worry about that.)
A 1-inch length of a quarter-pound butter stick. (Here we go
again.)
A little instant potato. (Don’t panic. It’s important.)
A smidgen of Garlic salt (I got the word smidgen from
my mom.)
A dite of salt. (I also got the word dite from my mom.)
A pinch or two of pepper. (I usually go for three pinches.)
A few glugs of olive oil to brown the meat.
A big ol’ pot with a cover to do it all in.
Now for the precision cooking instructions:
Glug the few glugs of olive oil into the big ol’ pot, on
the stove. (Important, turn on the stove’s burner too.)
Brown the meat in the pot, stirring occasionally if
you feel like it. Or, just sip on your coffee. That’s what I do.
If you want to get really fancy, throw the onions in now to
brown them too. Also, shake in some garlic salt. Then, and this
is important. Do nothing more to the meat! DO NOT DRAIN
IT! Just leave it in the pot and keep your fingers out of it.
Although that beef will taste pretty yummy if you give in to
temptation. (Personally, I can resist anything but temptation.)
Add both cartons of the beef broth and bring it all to a boil.
Now for the precision part: Throw everything else in,
except for the instant potato. We’ll get to that in a minute.
Return the pot to a hard boil, then simmer until veggies are
done. Sample a big carrot rhombus. If that’s soft, it’s all soft.
Now, about the instant potatoes. I shake a box of those
flakes over the pot, (For best results, remember to open the
box.) while stirring the stew. Add whatever quantity you want.
I just do enough to thicken the broth up a bit.
Guess what? You’re done, and so is this column. Enjoy, and
stay warm!

Busy January at the Chamber
This week, the Central Vermont Chamber
held its annual meeting. In the new normal
of COVID, this masked, hand sanitized, socially
distanced event had approximately 30
local businesses represented as we elected
our 2022 Board of Directors, officers and discussed
what’s next in the world of business in
Central Vermont.
We started the evening off with a panel discussion about
the future of business. Our panel, consisting of Lieutenant
Governor Molly Gray, Agency of Commerce and Community
Development Secretary Lindsay Kurrle, and Central Vermont
Chamber Public Policy Committee Chair Matt Musgrave. The
panel discussed topics such as the need for housing, the need
to repair our aging infrastructure, broadband access as well as
workforce development.
We would like to take the chance to thank our outgoing
board members, Joe Choquette III (Mark 3 public affairs),
Leslie Sanborn (R&L Archery), Denise Russo (Yankee Farm
Credit) and Ed Larson for their time, expertise and dedication
that took our chamber through the ever-changing COVID
landscape these past two years. We would especially like to
thank Kim Bolduc (Bolduc Metal Recycling) for leading our
board as she transitions to a new role on our board that is
Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958)
1/2
There are two things that disappointed me about the film
adaptation of Tennessee Williams’s “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof.”
First: there isn’t a single cat in the entire movie.
What it lacks in cats, however, it makes up for in psychology
and melodrama. This is a mature film about family strife,
regret, and unhappiness.
Tennessee Williams explores one of the grimmest truths of
humanity: how easy it is to feel all alone in this world even
when you are surrounded by your loved ones.
The story takes place during one sweaty night at the sprawling
Mississippi plantation of Big Daddy Pollitt (Burl Ives).
Big Daddy built an agricultural empire out of nothing and he’s
mighty proud of it.
The whole family is meeting at the palatial plantation house
for Big Daddy’s 65th – and final – birthday. He has been diagnosed
with terminal, painful cancer.
The most impressive aspect of the movie is Burl Ives’s soulful
performance. Big Daddy has more earthly accomplishments
than most, but he laments all the precious time he
wasted.
Big Daddy boasts that he still has passion for women
(meaning he doesn’t mind that Viagra won’t be invented for
another 40 years) but he knows that his lust is just a frustrating
dead end.
Big Daddy tells his son that he wants to find a woman and
shower her with expensive gifts so that she will spend time with
him. What an honest, depressing take on the aging male mind.
His ultimate fantasy is to pay a young woman for affection, and
he knows as well as we do that it’s not even going to happen.
Big Daddy’s slightly more realistic goal is to make amends
with his angry drunken son Brick (Paul Newman). Since his
best friend died, Brick has become cold, distant, and downright
selfish. He won’t even touch his long-suffering wife
Maggie (Elizabeth Taylor).
The most interesting aspect of the film is the relationship
between Brick and Big Daddy. They clearly love each other
and favor each other above all others. They don’t even have
any particular grievance or grudge. They just can’t communicate.
And the years without talking has pushed them further
and further apart.
hopefully less hectic.
We could not hold these events without the
support of our sponsors. We would like to thank
Northfield Savings Bank and Casella for their
ongoing support. We would also like to thank
Community National Bank, UVM Health Network
(CVMC), Bolduc Metal Recycling, Green
Mountain Power, Kingsbury Companies, Leahy
Press, Leslie Drown Real Estate, Norwich University, Noyle
Johnson Insurance, Passumpsic Bank and Union Bank for
supporting this event.
Our last order of business for the evening was to vote in our
incoming board members. Matt Musgrave (Associated General
Contractors of Vermont) and Deena Smead (Leahy Press)
were elected to second terms and we welcome Gary Karnedy
(Primmer Piper Eggleston & Cramer), Stephanie Frost (Kinney
Drugs), Tony Matz (Northfield Savings Bank), and Elena
Biledeau (Community College of Vermont) to our board of
directors for 2022.
Next on our horizon is our annual St. Patrick’s Day Roast,
where we gather for breakfast and lightly roast a deserving
Central Vermonter. We will announce this year’s victim soon.

Vermont Public Service Department Announces the
Release of Comprehensive Energy Plan
“The Comprehensive Energy Plan provides recommendations
for achieving state energy goals equitably, affordably,
reliably and in an environmentally sound manner,” according
to Commissioner June E. Tierney at the Department of Public
Service. “The development of the Energy Plan informed and
is designed to be consistent with the recently released Climate
Action Plan,” she added.
The plan draws on input provided by Vermonters who
shared their insights over the past year in public hearings and
online events. Vermonters provided direct feedback on the
draft plan issued in November which helped to shape the final
product. “The engagement of Vermonters and Vermont organizations
in development of this plan was critical, and really
helped policy decision makers address the difficult choices
when setting energy policy goals. We look forward to continuing
to engage Vermonters as we implement the plan,” added
T.J. Poor, Director of Planning at the department.
The CEP is updated every six years. The 2022 update focuses
on strategies and options for reducing demand and
• • •
• • •
• • •
converting remaining thermal and transportation loads to
highly efficient electric technologies, such as heat pumps and
electric vehicles. It contains strategies that can facilitate the
electric system meeting these increased demands in a manner
that encourages increased electrification while ensuring that
Vermonters can continue to pay their electric bills. The CEP
continues to maintain a role for renewable fuels to lower the
carbon content of hard-to-electrify energy service needs.
The CEP covers all energy sectors (electric, thermal, and
transportation), and it sets new goals for each sector. In the
Electric Sector: meet 100% of energy needs from carbon-free
resources by 2032, with at least 75% from renewable energy.
In the Transportation Sector: meet 10% of energy needs from
renewable energy by 2025, and 45% by 2040. In the Thermal
Sector: meet 30% of energy needs from renewable energy by
2025, and 70% by 2042
The 2022 Comprehensive Energy Plan may be downloaded
from the Department of Public Service CEP website: 2022
Plan | Department of Public Service (vermont.gov).
I wonder how many parents and adult children out there are
like that: loving each other intensely and yet unable to forge a
positive relationship.
And that brings me to the second thing about “Cat on a Hot
Tin Roof” that disappointed me: the way-too-happy ending.
[Spoiler Alert] In the final act, Maggie and Brick reconcile,
Big Daddy and Brick are communicating freely, and Brick
even turns down another glass of bourbon. The ending is
totally inconsistent with the rest of the film in substance and
tone.
It is true that rich, great-looking Brick had no real problems
and that the anger and isolation was all in his head. But in real
life, when your brain is making you depressed, it is not easy
to break the cycle of negative thoughts and snap out of it.
Despite the Hollywood ending, “Cat on a Hot Tin Roof” is
more interesting and better acted than I was expecting and
well worth watching. I still would have liked to see a few more
cats, though.

Come Alive Outside Asks Vermonters to Send a Love Letter to Their Town
It’s year two of the pandemic and everyone could use a
little love. That’s why Come Alive Outside is asking Vermonters
to help boost the morale of their community, themselves
and their neighbors by telling the world what they love about
where they live.
Come Alive Outside’s programming is hyper-local and designed
to entice residents to experience the benefits of nature
where they live, work, and play. ove letters are a terrific way
to let others know about their particular hometown charms.
These love letters will hopefully be a delightful experience for
both reader and writer. Expressing gratitude is a great way to
increase joy and decrease stress. Writers can share their gratitude
and express their love for the little part of Vermont they
call home, whereas readers get a chance to reect on all the
ways their town is special to others, which may positively in-
uence how they see their own neck of the woods.
“Both getting outside and gratitude practices have positive
impacts on mental and physical health,” says Come Alive Outside
Executive Director, Arwen Turner. “We hope this contest
creates the intention and motivation for folks to get outside
and explore their towns as well as inspires others to check out
the hidden gems they read about in the letters.”
Share the love by writing a love letter to your town. Submit

ARIES (March 21 to
April 19) You’re eager to
take on that new opportunity
opening up as January
gives way to February.
Now all you need to do is
resist quitting too early. Do your best to stay with it.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Doff a bit of that careful,
conservative outlook and let your brave Bovine self take a
chance on meeting that new challenge. You could be surprised
at how well you do.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might not want to return
to the more serious tasks facing you. But you know it’s
what you must do. Cheer up. Something more pleasant will
soon occupy your time.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) As you dutifully tidy your
end-of-the-month tasks, your fun self emerges to urge you
to do something special: A trip (or a cruise, maybe?) could
be just what you need.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your achievements are admirable
as you close out the month with a roar. Now you can
treat yourself to some well-earned time off for fun with
family or friends. (Or both!)
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Be sure you know
the facts before you assume someone is holding back on
your project. Try to open your mind before you give someone
a piece of it.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might feel comfortable
in your familiar surroundings, but it might be time
to venture into something new. There’s a challenge out
there that’s just right for you.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Your love of
things that are new gets a big boost as you encounter a
situation that opens up new and exciting vistas. How far
you go with it depends on you.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) That recent
workplace shift might not seem to be paying off as
you expected. But be patient. There are changes coming
that could make a big difference.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) While few can
match the oat’s fiscal wizardry, you still need to be wary
in your dealings. There might be a problem you should
know about sooner rather than later.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Easy does it
when it comes to love and all the other good things in life.
Don’t try to force them to develop on your schedule. Best
to let it happen naturally.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A surprise decision
by someone you trust causes some stormy moments. But
a frank discussion explains everything, and helps save a
cherished relationship.
YOU BORN THIS WEEK: Sometimes you forget to take
care of yourself, because you’re so busy caring for others.
But you wouldn’t have it any other way.

Vendors may be in the background during a wedding, but
the roles they play are vital to making ceremonies and receptions
memorable for couples and their guests. It’s customary to
tip wedding vendors who provide great service. The wedding
experts at The Knot note that the following guidelines can help
couples determine how much to tip the unsung heroes who
make their weddings so memorable.
• Photographer/videographer: Photographers and videographers
are unique among wedding vendors because their work
will be looked at for decades to come. The Knot notes that it’s
not necessary to tip wedding photographers and videographers
who own their own studios. Their fees are all the compensation
they need. However, many photographers and videographers
do not own their own studios, and the efforts of such
professionals are worthy of a little something extra at the end
of the night. The Knot notes that a tip between $50 and $200
is standard for these professionals, and that tip can be given at
the end of the reception.
• Reception staff: The reception staff works as hard as anyone
during the wedding, and those efforts merit a good tip.
Many reception venues include gratuities in their food and
drink fees, and couples can check to see if they have already
tipped staff and if they think the mandatory gratuity is sufficient.
A tip between 15 and 20 percent of the food and drink
fee is standard. Maître d’ fees also may be built into the wedding
contract. If not, a tip between $200 and $300 is standard
and can be delivered at the end of the night.
• Band/DJ: Music features prominently at many wedding
Seven Stars Arts Center All-Comers Virtually Slow Jam will
be starting back up monthly on second Thursday evenings 6:30-
8PM! Traditional dance tunes at relaxed, accessible pace.
BYOBeverages and snacks! Free, with a recommended donation
of $10-15. All ages, levels and instruments welcome! The Zoom
link will be sent out to folks that RSVP “maybe” or “yes” by
email: resonance.vermont@gmail.com.
Mood Disorders Support Group: Now online via Zoom. Peer &
professionally led support for people coping with mood disorders
such as depression, bipolar disorder, seasonal affective disorder,

Wedding Day Tipping Guidelines
receptions. Bands and/or DJs can set the tone for a fun night
couples and their guests will remember for years to come. Tipping
musicians is optional, but it’s the norm to do so when they
provide exceptional service. Couples who have a band playing
can tip between $25 and $35 per musician, while DJs generally
receive a tip between $50 and $150.
Drivers: Many transportation firms also include gratuities
in their contracts, so couples should check to see if they’ve
already tipped limo or bus drivers before paying them a little
extra. If the tip is not included and the drivers arrive on time
and get guests to the wedding on time, then a tip that’s between
15 and 20 percent of the total bill is standard.
• Delivery personnel: Individuals who deliver items like
cakes and owers are typically given a gratuity upon delivery.
A tip between $5 and $10 per person is standard, though
individuals who deliver items like tables, chairs and portable
restroom facilities and then set those items up may be deserving
of a little extra.
Officiants: Officiants who are affiliated with a church or
synagogue where the ceremony will take place are not typically
given a gratuity. However, The Knot notes that a donation
to the place of worship between $100 and $500 is standard.
Couples who still want to give the officiant a little extra can
tip between $50 and $100. Independent officiants who receive
fees directly from the couple need not be tipped.
These figures can serve as guidelines, but couples also can
give a little extra if they feel their vendors have gone above
and beyond.

Cosmo came to CVHS when his
owner passed away. He is familiar

a home with an easy-going cat like

is not too busy. Cosmo recently had a
feline dental to help keep him healthy
at his young age of 12!

Here Are the Ten Most Common Scams in Vermont in 2021
continued from page 10
2. Social Security Number Phishing
The scam: You receive a phone call (often a robocall) stating
that there has been criminal or fraudulent activity involving
your Social Security number. The call may even claim you
will lose your benefits, or they will expire.
How to spot the scam: Social Security and other government
agencies typically contact you by mail before initiating
phone communication; they usually don’t call you first, you
call them. They also would not threaten you for your information
or payment.
What to do: Whenever you receive an unsolicited contact,
take steps to verify. Never provide personal information to
unknown contacts. Report robocalls to CAP for enforcement.
3. Computer Tech Support (Traditional)
The scam: You receive a phone call, pop-up, or email on
your computer claiming to be from Norton, Microsoft, Apple,
or another well-known tech company. They will make claims
such as your electronic device has a virus, your device security
subscription has been automatically renewed, or stating
you have been charged for services you did not receive or ask
for. You may be prompted to click a link or call a number to
contact. They will try to persuade you to give remote access to
your device to fix the issue, and sometimes will even ask for
immediate payment for their services.
How to spot the scam: Legitimate tech support companies
do not display communications to their customers as random
pop-ups on your device. Tech support will not call you to warn
of security incidents; that your account has been renewed for a
subscription you do not recognize; and will not send you random
links, often shortened, with instructions for you to click
on URLs.
What to do: When contacted about a supposed business relationship,
take steps to verify, especially if you do not remember
signing up for services. Never click on links or provide remote
access to your computer from an unknown email sender
or pop-up message on your device’s screen. If you received a
pop-up message you cannot click out of, shut down, restart, or
unplug your device. If you get a call from “tech support”, hang
up. Also, be careful when searching for tech support online.
Some users have been scammed by calling illegitimate phone
numbers listed on the internet.
4. Legal Authority Imposter
The scam: You receive a phone call unexpectedly, claiming
to be a police officer, U.S. Marshall, U.S. Customs and Border
Protection, or an attorney with legal authority. The caller
threatens arrest or pending lawsuits against you. When you
engage, urgent payment is demanded to make the problem go
away. Payment does not solve the supposed problem, and they
keep calling.
How to spot the scam: The police would not warn you ahead
of time about a pending warrant. If you were going to be sued,
the papers would be served without notice.
What to do: Know your rights. Harassing debt collection
practice is unlawful, and collectors aren’t allowed to make
claims they can’t or won’t pursue. Hang up on all threats and
report them.
5. Sweepstakes/Lotteries
The scam: You will be notified by phone, email, or mail that
you won a prize or a quantity of money. In some cases, you
will even receive a realistic-looking check – but it is fake! You
are instructed to pay fees and give your financial and personal
information to claim your prize. They often use a legitimate
sweepstakes name, like Publishers Clearing House.
How to spot the scam: Legitimate sweepstakes and contest
businesses, like Publishers Clearing House and Mega Millions
lottery, will contact you in person if you win a major prize. For
prizes under $10,000, the notification is done through certified
mail by overnight delivery services (FedEx, UPS). They will
not contact you by phone, nor require a payment or processing
fee to release your prize.
What to do: If it sounds too good to be true, then it’s not
true. You don’t need to pay fees or give your financial information
in order to claim a prize.
6. Identity Theft
The scam: You receive a letter that claims you have requested
government benefits, opened a bank account, filled a
credit card application, or are notified about a security breach.
Sometimes you will stop receiving legitimate bills and other
mail or start to get bills for products and services that you
didn’t pursue.
How to spot the scam: Be aware of unsolicited phone calls,
mail and emails stating unexpected bank transactions, credit
card or benefit applications. If your expected bills are not
showing up, or you are receiving correspondence in someone
else’s name, report it.
What to do: Don’t give out personal information, such as
your Social Security number, passwords, personal identification
numbers, and financial accounts. Review your credit reports
at least once a year. Carefully check bank account statements
and benefits to verify transactions. Shred documents
and expired credit cards before you throw them out. Verify
security breach notification letters received on the Attorney
General’s website. If your information has been stolen by an
identity thief, take identity theft protection steps.
7. Online Listings
The scam: Fake websites or phony listings on sites like
Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist draw you into a purchase
that’s likely too good to be true. This scam can also appear
in online rental listings, and as a buyer offering well-over
the selling price for an item. As a seller, the fake buyer sends
a fake check or pays with a fraudulent credit card and asks
you to advance funds to another fake vendor, causing you to
be out the funds.
How to spot the scam: Be skeptical of unrealistic offers.
Watch out for requests for money in any form (gift cards, wire
transfers, cash) when not made in person. Scammers likely
will not want to talk on the phone or meet in person. Heed
warnings in user reviews and other online commentary.
What to do: Playing it safe online takes a bit of detective
work to determine legitimacy of an offer. Investigate the person/profile
of the seller. If their profile is new and they have
no friends and photos, they are likely a scam. Research new
websites you are considering doing business with by looking
up online reviews and state business registrations, taking note
of how long the company has been operating. Perform online
searches of the business with “scam” and “complaints” to see
if issues generate. Complete your transactions in cash and
preferably a safe place in-person.
8. Medicare Card Phishing
The scam: Scammers will call, often with a live call and
from a spoofed caller ID number, and pose as Medicare representatives
to gain your personal information and money.
These scams are most frequent during times of open enrollment
but can occur year-round. The scammers will state they
need your Medicare card number or Social Security number
to keep your coverage active and verify medical information.
The calls may also claim that coverage is expiring or in need
of renewal. Scammers will also ask if you received a “new
Medicare card”, often referred to as a “gold card” or “red,
white, and blue card”.
How to spot the scam: In general, Medicare cards do not expire.
Unless you have called Medicare using the 800 number
on the back of your card and requested a callback, Medicare
will not call you. If a phone call is required, you would receive
a letter from the Social Security Administration to schedule
a call. Medicare representatives will never call you to verify
your information, sell you products, tell you that your coverage
is expiring, or to issue you a new card.
What to do: Never provide your Medicare number or other
personal information and payment to unknown callers. In
Vermont, representatives of the State Health Insurance Assistance
Program (SHIP), at 1-800-642-5119, through local
Area Agencies on Aging can help address Medicare questions.
Other questions and concerns about Medicare coverage can
be directed to Medicare at 1-800-MEDICARE. You may also
report this scam to the Federal Trade Commission.
9. Family Emergency/Imposter
The scam: Scammers pose to be someone you trust and
pretend to be in an emergency to convince you to send them
money or will ask you for a favor. These scammers pose as
grandchildren, friends, relatives, and close contacts and seem
like the real deal. Scammers impersonate people you love and
play on your fears to have you send money urgently. After the
initial call, you may be told a lawyer, parole officer or courtroom
may contact you for further information.
How to spot the scam: Contacts come in as calls or emails or
online messages. Sometimes it’s someone you haven’t heard
from in a while. They require urgency and ask for secrecy. You
may not be allowed to speak to your loved one on the phone.
What to do: Take steps to verify. Check out if they really
are who they say even if they sound like a loved one. Slow
down your response and contact someone you trust to verify
if there is an emergency. You can also choose a “code word”
with friends and family to verify the person is who they claim
to be. If they don’t know the word, they are not your friend or
family member.
10. Auto Warranty Expiration
The scam: You receive a call or mail from fake representatives
of auto dealers, manufacturers, and insurance companies,
trying to convince you to renew your auto warranty or insurance
or claim your warranty is expired. You may be instructed
to press a number or stay on the line for a representative that
seems like a real person. When contacted by these scammers,
you may be asked personal information about yourself and
your vehicle or financial information to pay off this fake claim.
How to spot the scam: Be mindful that only a vehicle’s
manufacturer can extend factory warranties, not an outside
company. Avoid any call or mailing that states it’s urgent for
you to take immediate action to continue your car’s warranty.
What to do: If you have inquiries on your vehicle or its warranty,
call the number on your purchase paperwork. You can
also contact the dealership you purchased the vehicle from to
inquire about the warranty as well. Hang up on or discard any
suspicious mailing or person claiming to know about your
auto warranty. Do not provide any personal or identifying information
unless you can verify you are dealing directly with
a verified company that you have a business relationship with.

R&R Race Parts Street Stock Open
Series Visits ‘The Road’ in 2022
Thunder Road officials and R&R Race Parts N.H. are
excited to announce an addition to our already spectacular
2022 calendar with the R&R Race Parts Street Stock Open 75
as part of Community College of Vermont Night on Thursday,
June 23rd.
The first R&R Race Parts Street Stock Open was a
$5,000-to-win affair at Lee USA Speedway in 2020 before
moving to White Mountain Motorsports Park as part of the
return of Fall Foliage weekend. Now, Jim Renfrew has
stepped up and offered New England Street Stock racers the
option to try new racetracks that might not offer their rules
packages on a weekly basis.
As with September’s Fall Foliage 100 at White Mountain
Motorsports Park, there is an option that allows ACT Flying
Tigers to make minimal changes and compete for the top
prize. Multiple Flying Tiger champions participated in the
$5,000 -to-win extravaganza last September including Jason
Woodard, Mike Martin, and Joel Hodgdon, multi-time
WMMP champion Shane Sicard and Rookie sensation Tanner
Woodard. We expect many Thunder Road Tiger teams to challenge
the invaders with a little homefield advantage.
While the schedule remains fluid at the time of this release,
the R&R Race Parts Street Stock Series will contend events at
Oxford Plains Speedway and Riverside Speedway in Groveton
while joining the 2nd Annual Northeast Classic at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway and the 3rd Annual $5,000-towin
R&R Race Parts Street
Stock Open at White
Mountain Motorsports Park
in September.
The $1,000-to-win R&R
Race Parts Street Stock Open
is joining an action-packed
Community College of
Vermont night at Thunder
Road on Thursday, June 23rd.
Along with the Street Stock
Open, the Maplewood/Irving
Oil Late Models, Lenny’s
Shoe and Apparel Flying
Tigers and rk Miles Street
Stocks will take to the highbanks
along with the Marvin
Johnson Memorial non-winners
race for the 4-cylinder
Street Stocks.
R&R Race Parts N.H. has
whatever you’d need to build
and maintain everything from
a 4-cylinder Mini Stock to an
ACT Late Model and beyond.
Based in Candia, New
Hampshire, R&R is an official
dealer for Five Star Race
Car Bodies, Swift Springs
and JOES Racing Products,
among others, and their
familiar red parts truck can be
found across New England
short tracks.

NOW HERE’S A TIP
By JoAnn Derson
* To soften food that is stuck on a pan, try
soaking it overnight with fabric softener.
Just fill the pan with enough water to cover
the burned-on food, then lay a dryer sheet of fabric softener in
the pan (poke it down so it will stay under the water). The next
morning, you should be able to wipe the food right off. You
can even use the fabric softener sheet as a scrubber. — A.S.
in Maryland
* I installed rivet rings in the corner of my bathroom towels.
Now, when I hang a towel up, it stays hung up. — I.S. via
* Ways to avoid spam, that nuisance e-mail that comes to fill
your e-mail box in droves: Use a name that has both words
and numbers. Keep a separate “free” e-mail address for
bill-paying and one for shopping. Be sure to report spam to
your e-mail provider. Up your filter and add everyone you
know to your address book or “safe” list. — via e-mail
* To keep thread straight when threading needles, I run the end
across a cheap glue stick. It works very well, and the glue
washes right out of the thread. Or, if you are afraid it will be
sticky, you can just clip the end off before you start sewing.
— T.E. in Kentucky
* To make butter easier to spread on bread or toast, we keep a
stick in a plastic sandwich baggie. We just handle the butter a
bit through the bag. It softens, but doesn’t overmelt, like
when you put it in the microwave. You can just reseal the baggie
and put it back in the fridge. — N.U. in Florida
* To make your carpets look clean in a hurry, like if you are
having company over, just sweep them with your broom. —
C.C. in Pennsylvania
