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

schools in your area, or see celebration photos

and proclamation updates, visit schoolchoiceweek.com/vermont.

Local celebrants are available to discuss

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

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.

By CompassVermont.com

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

care. He was impulsive, passionate, talented,

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

and erome Tauber of New York City; and many aunts, uncles,

cousins, and chosen family who cared deeply about him. His

sudden death has left us heartbroken and we ask that you plant

trees, feed birds, donate to an animal shelter, and support artists

in his memory. He will be remembered at a celebration of

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.

Willey, of Barre, Vermont, on Jan. 2, 2022. Her

husband, Phillip Willey, was by her side as she

passed away early morning. She was a wonderful

family, and loved her sons deeply. We will never be able to fill

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 &

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.

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

e-mail

* 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
