Capstone Community Action

Surpasses Fundraising Goal for

Fuel Your Neighbors

Capstone Community Action’s

Fuel Your Neighbors

campaign, in partnership with

VSECU, raised $301,649 to

support emergency food and

heating assistance to vulnerable

Vermonters.

It has been another challenging

winter with extended cold snaps combined

with dramatic increases in fuel and food costs.

This has required many Vermont households

to make difficult decisions on basic needs like

heat and food. This winter, Capstone Community

Action (Capstone) has again assisted

hundreds of families in Central Vermont with

fuel purchases, safety measures, and/or overdue

bills so that central Vermonters could start

receiving fuel deliveries again. At the same

time, Capstone’s food shelf in Barre has fed

over 1,200 individuals from 617 households.

This work is enhanced by a unique winter

fundraiser.

“We are incredibly proud to share that over

0,000 central ermonters have benefited

from our Fuel Your Neighbors campaign

since it began in 2016,” explained Sue Minter,

Capstone’s executive director. “These are

hard times for all of us, but especially for our

low-income neighbors. Capstone’s ability to

help local families fill the gap on basic needs,

especially during a pandemic, is fundamental

to our mission. Capstone is especially grateful

for the support of so many businesses and

individuals who got behind our campaign to

make sure our neighbors did not go to bed

hungry or cold this winter.”

Fuel Your Neighbors is a campaign, in

partnership with VSECU, that ran from November

30, Giving Tuesday, through the end

of March, to raise awareness and funds to

support vulnerable Vermonters with food and

heat this winter. This is the sixth year Capstone

and VSECU have teamed up on this

effort raising a total of $920,000 since 2016.

“Fuel Your Neighbors has proved again and

again that we can come together to take care of

each other,” said Rob Miller, CEO at VSECU.

“We’re proud to have been part of this campaign

and supported thousands of Vermonters

to get the assistance they need to keep their

homes warm and food on the table.”

There were numerous generous business

sponsors this year including: VSECU, The

University of Vermont Health Network - Central

Vermont Medical Center, NorthCountry

Federal Credit Union, Red Hen Baking Co.,

The Alchemist, Lawson’s Finest Liquids,

rbTechnologies, LLC, Front Porch Forum,

BlueCross BlueShield of Vermont, Mutual of

America Financial Group, Hickok & Boardman

Insurance Group, Union Mutual, Vermont

Gas Systems, Passumpsic Bank, Frankenburg

Agency, Inc., Main Street Landing,

aitsfield Champlain alley Telecom,

WDEV, and The Point Radio.

Capstone Community Action was founded

in 1965 and works to overcome poverty

by serving people in crisis and creating economic

opportunity for people and communities.

Capstone’s programs include emergency

food, heat assistance, housing counseling and

homelessness intervention, savings and credit

coaching, business counseling, workforce development,

home weatherization, transportation

access, and child and family development

programs in Early Head Start/Head Start. We

serve nearly 13,000 people through these programs

each year. www.capstonevt.org.

VSECU is a member-owned cooperative

and not for profit credit union for everybody

who lives or works in Vermont, offering a full

range of affordable financial products and services

to its member-owners. VSECU is committed

to improving the lives of Vermonters

by empowering the possibilities for greater

social, environmental, and financial prosperity.

Vermont Foodbank Announces

Launch of Food Security

Innovation Lab

The Vermont Foodbank announced

the launch of a Food

Security Innovation Lab. This

two-year venture will initially

be staffed by two professionals

with an eye toward exploring

new, experimental ways to address

hunger and the root causes

of hunger in Vermont. This work represents

a new, highly focused effort that will happen

alongside and in collaboration with efforts

and programs that the Vermont Foodbank

continues to operate.

“In the past, ending hunger meant making

sure food was accessible and affordable,”

John Sayles, CEO of the Vermont Foodbank

said. “We realized as an organization that it

really is equity and solving for ending racial

oppression and changing structures and systems

in our society that’s going to be a longterm

solution to hunger.”

Over two years, the Innovation Lab team

will pilot, evaluate, and then support collaborative

efforts to scale new, systemic, statewide

solutions to food insecurity. The lab will

launch four pilot projects and hopes to invest

in two after evaluation. Each project will consider

root causes of hunger and poverty and

be designed to reduce food insecurity for people

in Vermont. Example projects could include

home delivered meal kits, order-ahead

programs for local food shelves, and work

centered on populations who have greater risk

of food insecurity.

“We are not being prescriptive about what

the pilots are, and we are not presuming to

know the solutions that the lab is going to land

on,” said Cassie Lindsay, Director of Strategic

Giving, adding that there is no shortage of

places to begin. “We have a lot of great ideas.

They bubble up and percolate but sometimes

don’t have a place to land on our team – now

they will.”

The work of the Food Security Innovation

Lab will include gathering data, piloting, testing,

and identifying best practices by using an

entrepreneurial approach to understand what

pilot projects make an impact. Included in this

work is careful collaboration with the strong

food insecurity network across the state of

Vermont and the Feeding America network

across the country.

“Solutions may not even center on food,

though a measure of success will be a more

food-secure Vermont,” added Sayles.

The Vermont Foodbank has recently hired

Tatiana Abatemarco to lead the Food Security

Innovation Lab. Abatemarco’s career and

most recent work at Bennington College on

sustainable food systems and rural food justice

gives her an important perspective to lend

as the Foodbank looks at potential pilot programs

across the state.

“I’m excited to apply my experience working

in sustainable food systems to help the

Vermont Foodbank tackle the root causes

of hunger in our communities,” shared

Abatemarco.

The Food Security Innovation Lab has begun

developing the timeline and designing the

process by which pilot programs will be proposed,

selected, implemented, and measured

for success. This process will include focus

groups within and outside of the Vermont

Foodbank. The lab will be hiring additional

staff in the coming months. The Foodbank encourages

interested funders and communities

to join in supporting this work to reach out

to Cassie Lindsay or Tatiana Abatemarco at

info@vtfoodbank.org.

About the Vermont Foodbank

The Vermont Foodbank is the state’s largest

hunger-relief organization, providing nutritious

food through a network of more than

300 community partners – food shelves, meal

sites, schools, hospitals, and housing sites.

Food insecurity has increased dramatically

as a result of the pandemic and the Vermont

Foodbank and its network have been on the

front lines, working to ensure that everyone

has the food they need to maintain their health.

Last year, the Vermont Foodbank provided

over 19 million pounds of food to people

throughout Vermont. The Vermont Foodbank,

a member of Feeding America, is nationally

recognized as one of the most effective and

efficient nonprofits and food banks in the nation.

Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department Picks Fight

with a Vermont Federal Wildlife Refuge

The US Fish & Wildlife (USFWS) manages an unparalleled

network of public lands called the National Wildlife

Refuge System. These refuges play a critical role in providing

protected habitat for millions of species including many who

are threatened or endangered. Vermont only has two refuges:

Silvio O. Conte and Missisquoi. Both hunters and non-hunting

wildlife enthusiasts enjoy these lands with very few

restrictions. There is growing concern that the Vermont Fish

& Wildlife Department (VFWD) fails to represent these

stakeholder groups fairly, showing tremendous bias toward

hunting interests.

Last summer, the Conte Refuge (Refuge) solicited public

comment on its 2021 Hunting Plan (Plan). Wildlife advocates,

hunters, VFWD, and other stakeholder groups participated.

There was heightened concern among wildlife advocates over

the long hound training season that impacts at-risk ground

nesting birds, including the Canada Warbler and the American

Woodcock.

In September, the Refuge amended their Hunting Plan and

shortened the hound training—not hunting—season by two

months (from June 1 to August 1) to address concerns over

the impact on ground nesting birds—a move considered a

small concession by wildlife advocates who wanted a complete

ban on hounding on the refuge, among other prohibitions.

VFWD Commissioner, Christopher Herrick, vehemently

disagrees with the new restrictions. Mark Scott, Director of

Wildlife at VFWD, not only disagrees with the Refuge’s decision

but chose to harshly criticize the Refuge manager personally

and professionally in communications to hounders and

colleagues.

Newly released VFWD emails obtained through a public

records request from Protect Our Wildlife reveal disparaging

remarks made by VFWD’s Director of Wildlife about the

Vermont Walleye Fishing Season Opens Saturday, May 7

• • •

Conte Refuge manager in reaction to the minor changes made

to the hunting plan. VFWD Director of Wildlife wrote, “My

guess is he wants a promotion and is willing to sell his professional

integrity. SAD.” The Director also said that the Refuge

manager was dishonest and unprofessional, and that he lost all

respect for the manager. Protect Our Wildlife is awaiting additional

public records that have yet to be released by Governor

Scott’s office.

Additionally, the Director of Wildlife also shared emails

with Senator Leahy’s office from a hounder calling for diversion

of federal funds that were earmarked for the Conte

Refuge and reallocating it to VFWD. Wildlife advocates view

this as a retaliatory attack in response to the Refuge’s minor

restrictions on hounding.

“This unwarranted attack by the Vermont Fish & Wildlife

Department on the Refuge biologist over minimal restrictions

to hounding is a real threat to conservation and collaboration

and also illustrates how deeply political wildlife management

is,” added Jablow.

Protect Our Wildlife has had previous concerns over

hounding activities on the Refuge as documented in their

2015 petition here: https://drive.google.com/

file/d/1b5ApiXO6yz1mPu6_6P5PzH21IjhVfeQy/view.

VFWD has historically prioritized politics over the protection

of at-risk species on the Refuge as evidenced here: https://

d r i v e . g o o g l e . c o m /

file/d/1b5ApiXO6yz1mPu6_6P5PzH21IjhVfeQy/view.

In response to the VFWD Commissioner, Christopher

Herrick’s recent public pleas for respecting others’ opinions

and turning down the vitriol, POW President, Brenna

Galdenzi, said, “Commissioner Herrick, you ask that we all

respect differences of opinion, but the evidence indicates that

your senior team doesn’t follow that plea.”

The Vermont walleye fishing season opens on Saturday,

May 7, marking the return of some of the best walleye fishing

in New England.

Excellent spring walleye fishing can be found in several

Vermont lakes and rivers, including Lake Champlain and its

tributaries – the Missisquoi, Lamoille and Winooski rivers

and Otter Creek. In the Northeast Kingdom, Salem Lake and

Island Pond also have walleye populations that are on the

rebound thanks to stocking by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife

Department.

A trio of additional waters – Lake Carmi, Chittenden

Reservoir and the Connecticut River, also offer quality walleye

fishing.

Veteran walleye anglers use a variety of techniques, but one

of the simplest and most effective is to slowly troll a nightcrawler

harness near the bottom. Most nightcrawler harnesses

include a rotating blade ahead of two hooks, where the

worm is secured. The blade produces a fish-attracting flash

and vibration. Shore-based anglers can catch walleyes on

nightcrawlers or live minnows or by casting crankbaits or

hard jerk baits. Walleyes are generally more active at night,

so fishing in the dark is often more effective.

As a reminder to anglers, there is no open season on sauger,

a close cousin to the walleye. Once abundant in southern

Lake Champlain, sauger still appear there rarely. If caught

while fishing for other fish, sauger must be immediately

released.

Anglers can read about current fishing regulations in the

2022 Vermont Fishing Guide & Regulations available free

from Vermont license agents. To purchase a fishing license or

learn more about fishing in Vermont, visit www.vtfishandwildlife.com.

Vermont Allocates Moose Hunting

Permits for 2022

The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board voted on April 6 to

have 60 either-sex moose hunting permits and 40 antlerless

moose hunting permits available this year for a hunt limited to

Vermont’s Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) E in the northeastern

corner of the state. The science-based hunt will result in

an estimated harvest of 51 to 65 moose, or 5 percent of the more

than 1,000 moose currently estimated to live in WMU E.

Permit applications are now available on the Vermont Fish

and Wildlife Department’s website www.vtfishandwildlife.

com.

The Fish and Wildlife Department recently partnered with

University of Vermont researchers to conduct a study of

moose health and survival in WMU E. The results of this

study, in which 126 moose (36 cows, 90 calves) were fitted

with GPS tracking collars, clearly showed that chronic high

winter tick loads have caused the health of moose in that part

of the state to be very poor. Survival of adult moose remained

relatively good, but birth rates were very low and less than

half of the calves survived their first winter.

The goal of the Fish and Wildlife Department’s 2022 moose

season recommendation is to improve the health of moose in

WMU-E by reducing the impact of winter ticks.

“Research has shown that lower moose densities, like in the

rest of Vermont, support relatively few winter ticks that do not

impact moose populations,” said Fortin. “Reducing moose

density decreases the number of available hosts which in turn

decreases the number of winter ticks on the landscape.”

“These permits will help address winter tick impacts on

moose in WMU-E by reducing the density of moose, but it

does so slowly, over a period of several years,” added Fortin.

“This allows future moose permit allocations to be adjusted as

new information becomes available. Given the poor health of

the moose population in that area and a clearly identified

cause, we need to take action to address this issue. Without

intervention to reduce the moose population in WMU-E, high

tick loads will continue to impact the health of moose in that

region for many years.”

Lottery applications for hunting permits are $10 for residents

and $25 for nonresidents. The deadline to apply is June

22. Winners of the permit lottery will purchase resident hunting

permits for $100 and nonresident hunting permits for

$350.

Hunters who held a permit within the past five years are not

eligible to apply for a permit or to buy a bonus point.

Applicants must continue to annually submit a moose permit

application if they wish to retain their past bonus permits and

accumulate subsequent bonus points.

Five permits will be available to Vermont military veterans,

three permits will be available for “Special Opportunity”

recipients with life-threatening illnesses, and three permits

will be auctioned in accordance with regulations.

The 2022 Moose Season Recommendation and related

information about moose research and management are available

on Vermont Fish and Wildlife’s website at www.vtfishandwildlife.com.

Amid Record High Oil Prices, Vermont Department of

Forests, Parks, and Recreation and VEIC Announce

Free Wood Heat Assessments for Small Businesses

The Vermont Department of Forests, Parks,

and Recreation, in partnership with VEIC,

announces the availability of free assessments

for Vermont small businesses interested in

switching from fossil fuels for their heating

needs to Advanced Wood Heat (AWH). AWH

includes a wide scale of technologies, from

small EPA certified wood stoves all the way

to wood chip boilers appropriate for large

commercial buildings.

Energy experts at VEIC will analyze fuel

usage data provided by each business and

basic information about the businesses,

including their functions, needs, and location

to determine whether AWH is a good fit. If so,

they will then determine the potential upfront

costs and long-term savings. Businesses that

appear to be good candidates to make the

switch to AWH will then have the opportunity

to participate in a more technical, no-cost

follow-up assessment.

Vermont is a leader in AWH with 24% of

thermal energy needs met by wood heat and a

goal of increasing that to 35% by the year

2030. Sustainably sourced wood fuels offer

lower and less volatile prices than fossil fuels,

as well as dramatically lower carbon emissions,

while supporting Vermont forests and

local economies – a win-win-win.

To be considered for participation in the

program, businesses should complete the

short intake form.

The program is funded through the US

Department of Agriculture’s Renewable

Energy Development Assistance Program.

For information on this opportunity and all

available wood heating rebates and incentives,

reservoir opens May 20.

Since 2012, Vermont State Parks has been

developing campsites in appropriate locations

at the reservoir and have added amenities

such as composting toilets, fire rings, and tent

platforms. “With the increasing popularity of

remote camping, especially during the

COVID pandemic, the demand for the

Waterbury Reservoir remote sites has skyrocketed,”

said Director of State Parks Nate

McKeen. “Offering advance reservations will

allow visitors more time to plan their stay,

and the revenue generated will allow us to

better steward these resources.”

Campers should reserve a site prior to traveling

to the reservoir. To make a reservation for

a remote campsite at Waterbury Reservoir, visit

Scott Kerner from Good Measure Brewing

Company announced via a social media video

that the brewer has purchased the Cornerstone

Burger Company.

“Northfield is such a great town,” Kerner

says as he walks from the Good Measure to

the Cornerstone while being filmed. He then

steps through the restaurant’s front door,

turns, and adds, “e’ve decided to reinvest

in the town.”

Standing inside the Cornerstone, Kern

continued. “e are pleased to announce that

we’ve purchased the Cornerstone Burger

Company business from ich cSheffrey.”

Kerner said they were very excited to “cut

a hole in the front of their building to allow

more people to have access to both sides,”

meaning the brewery and the restaurant.

Kerner added that more information would

be provided soon, but wanted to epress his

commitment to the town.

“ust know here in Northfield, we are deeply

committed to making this the greatest town

on earth.”

A message on the post reinforced the message

in the video “Here we go Thanks to

everyone who’s helped us get here. e can’t

wait to show you our vision for East Street

here in beautiful Northfield, ermont”

Technical Assistance Grants

Available to Vermont Small

Businesses Impacted by COVID-19

The Regional Development Corporations of Vermont are

part of a new grant program that will deliver technical assistance

to small businesses to aid with business recovery from

COVID-19 impacts.

The technical assistance program is part of a national initiative

through the Vermont Small Business Development Center

(VtSBDC) as part of the Small Business Administration’s

Community Navigator Pilot Program (CNPP). Funding for

the program is coming from the Small Business Administration

and Vermont’s COVID community development block grant

program (CDBG-CV) funded by the U.S. Housing and Urban

Development.

The CNPP uses a “hub and spoke” model, with VtSBDC as

the central hub, and nine Vermont spoke organizations creating

impact on the ground. Vermont’s Regional Development

Corporations, as one of the “spokes” are using this opportunity

to relaunch the highly effective ReVTA pandemic relief

program to provide direct, specific, technical assistance

through Vermont technical assistance vendors to Vermont

small businesses. CNPP is designed to reduce barriers that all

small businesses—including those owned by historically

underserved groups such as veterans, women, BIPOC,

LGBTQ+, and disabled business owners, and those from rural

communities—often face in accessing critical support.

The RDC program has signed up Vermont vendors to

deliver technical assistance, including but not limited to: business

operations; financial management; digital strategies;

architecture and design; reconfiguring production processes

and updating safety measures; technology and software consulting;

and legal and professional services. Businesses

requiring technical assistance register for the program, get

matched to a service provider, and agree to a scope of work.

Once the work is completed to the satisfaction of the client

and program managers, the service provider is paid through

the grant program. If you have a project in mind and already

know the vendor you would like to work with, have them

register now. Or, you can choose from the vendors that are

already registered.

To be eligible, business receiving the technical assistance

must:

• Be registered to do business in Vermont and be located in

Vermont;

• Have at least $5000 in average annual gross revenues;

• Have been established as a Vermont business as of March

15th, 2020; and

• Have the ability to demonstrate an impact (negative or positive)

by COVID-19

This is a first-come, first-served program. Registration

portal for potential clients opens March 14, 2022. Vendors

(service providers) may register now. To learn more about the

program, to register, and to view the vendor or client webinars,

Statement from the Governor

on Legislature’s Pension Bill

At his weekly press conference, Governor Phil Scott

addressed the ongoing pension reform conversation occurring

in Montpelier. He was joined by David Coates, a well-respected

expert on the issue, who has testified before legislative

committees on pension reform for years.

A letter sent by the Scott Administration to lawmakers on

March 10 (one day after the pension bill was formally introduced)

outlining paths forward.

An excerpt of the Governor’s press conference remarks can

be found below.

GOVERNOR SCOTT: I’ve talked about the need for true

structural reform to right the ship, because this is a massive

$5.7 billion liability. And without structural reform it will only

get worse.

Now, I’m not naive. I know the Democratic-dominated

Legislature is much closer to the unions than I am, so I asked

the Legislature to take the lead with support of my team. And

to their credit, they did.

However, we were not part of the closed room deal that led

to this current bill.

So, I found out what was agreed to by the Task Force when

you did, and when the bill was formally introduced on March

9, the very next day we sent a letter with some additional

measures that we believe are necessary for long-term stability.

In my mind, the Task Force’s work was meant to be a recommendation,

or a starting point, for the Legislature and

executive branch to discuss, not a rubber-stamp. Typically, a

bill is sent to a legislative committee where ideas are flushed

out and built upon. Unfortunately, our recommendations

weren’t included, or for that matter, seriously considered.

This bill, though it makes some positive steps, doesn’t go

far enough and simply kicks the can down the road. I’m concerned

that we’re putting a more than $200 million Band-Aid

on this without fixing the underlying problems.

History shows us that simply adding more money is only a

short-term solution, and we’ll be back in a few years with the

same issues.

I know it’s easy to just claim victory and go home. As I’ve

said, the easiest thing for me to do politically would be to sign

the bill, sing ‘kumbaya,’ and sleep easy knowing that it won’t

be me or many of the current legislators who have to deal with

this again in five to 10 years.

But mark my words, this bill doesn’t solve the problem.

And in five to 10 years the necessary fixes will be much

tougher for both taxpayers and state employees. And making

it even more challenging, those decisions will likely come at

a time when we’re dealing with budget shortfalls, not surpluses.

DFR Reaches $100,000 Settlement with

Insurance Company Over Improper

Handling of First Responder PTSD Claims

Commissioner Michael S. Pieciak announced

that the Vermont Department of

Financial Regulation (DFR) has reached an

agreement with Acadia Insurance Company.

Under the terms of the settlement, the company

will pay an administrative penalty of

$85,000 and contribute $15,000 to the Vermont

Financial Services Education and Victim

Restitution Special Fund.

The settlement relates to the improper

handling of Vermont workers’ compensation

claims, including those filed by first responders

for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD),

by Acadia’s third-party administrator W.R.

Berkley Corporation (BerkleyNet). DFR’s

review of Vermont workers’ compensation

claims handled by Acadia between 2015 and

2019 showed that BerkleyNet engaged in unfair

claim settlement practices and violated

Vermont’s Insurance Trade Practices Act in a

vast majority of the claims it handled in Vermont

involving PTSD.

BerkleyNet refused to pay claims without

conducting a reasonable investigation or engaging

in a good faith attempt at settlement.

In one of the most egregious examples, BerkleyNet

mailed a reuest to a first responder for

information necessary to process the workers’

compensation claim and denied the claim on

Vermont to Receive $215,500 from Online

Vaping Retailers

Attorney General T. J. Donovan announced

that his office has reached settlements with

two different online sellers of electronic cigarettes

for violations of Vermont’s Delivery

Sales Ban and Vermont’s Consumer Protection

Act. Under the settlements, the companies

resolved claims that they sold electronic

cigarettes, e-liquids, or other tobacco

paraphernalia to individual consumers. As

of July 1, 2019, it is illegal to sell electronic

cigarettes and related “vaping” products over

the internet to individual Vermont consumers.

In total, the companies will pay $215,500 in

civil penalties to the State of Vermont. Since

December 2020, the Attorney General’s Office

has reached settlements with twenty-three

online sellers of electronic cigarettes, totaling

$833,750 in civil penalties.

“The law is clear: It is illegal to sell electronic

cigarettes and related ‘vaping’ products

over the internet to individual Vermont

consumers,” said Attorney General Donovan.

“y office will continue to bring enforcement

actions against any retailer who ships vaping

products to individual Vermonters.”

Since 2008, Vermont’s Delivery Sales

Ban law has prohibited cigarettes, roll-yourown

the very same day. These aggressive claims

adjustment and settlement practices deterred

first responders who may have been eperiencing

PTSD due to work related stress from

pursuing claims.

“ur first responders regularly face etraordinarily

challenging situations as they

work to keep our communities safe, and as

a result, they experience unique impacts to

their mental health,” said DFR Commissioner

ichael S. ieciak. “t is critical for our first

responders to receive necessary and deserved

mental health care and this settlement will

help ensure these illegal claims practices do

not occur again as a result of the corrective actions

the company is required to undertake.”

The $15,000 contribution to the fund will

be used to support educational efforts for the

first responder community.

Commissioner Pieciak would like to thank

the DFR staff who worked diligently on these

matters, including Diane Sherman, Isabelle

Keiser, Karla Nuissl, Chris Rouleau, and Phil

Keller.

Vermonters with concerns about insurance

claims or other insurance concerns, should

contact the DFR consumer services section by

phone at 802-828-3302 or 800-964-1784, or

by email at dfr.insuranceinfo@vermont.gov.

Vermont Restitution Fund Helps Defrauded Vermonter

Commissioner Michael S. Pieciak announced

that he has approved the first-ever

payment from Department of Financial Regulation’s

(DFR) Victim Restitution Fund. Under

recent legislative authority, Act No. 57 of

2019, the Fund allows DFR to pay securities

fraud victims a portion of their losses when

full restitution is not paid by the perpetrator

of the fraud. Monies in the fund are derived

from settlements in DFR enforcement cases.

Early in the pandemic, a Vermont resident

was defrauded of $21,250 by William J.

Therieau, an unregistered individual purporting

to be an investment professional. Therieau

accepted the victim’s funds and said he would

invest them but did not. Instead, he converted

the funds to his personal use. The Department

brought an enforcement action and obtained

an order against Therieau for both civil penalties

and restitution for the victim. Therieau,

however, has failed to pay both the Department

and the victim to date.

Now, through the Vermont Restitution

Fund, the department will be able pay the victim

25% of their losses while continuing to

seek the rest from Therieau.

“In cases of investment fraud, stolen

or purchased by telephone, mail order, or

through the internet, to be shipped to anyone

in Vermont other than a licensed wholesaler

dealer or retailer. This law was expanded in

2019 to include tobacco substitutes (including

electronic cigarettes), substances containing

nicotine or otherwise intended for use with a

tobacco substitute, and tobacco paraphernalia.

The Vermont Department of Liquor and Lottery

conducts compliance checks of online retailers

to determine compliance with this law.

Under the terms of the settlement agreements,

in addition to paying civil penalties,

the companies are required to notify Vermont

consumers that they do not ship to individual

consumers in Vermont.

To make a tobacco enforcement-related

complaint to the Attorney General’s ffice,

you may email your concerns to ago.tobaccoenforcement@vermont.gov.

with specific penalty amounts, are available

money is often quickly squandered, leaving

the courts and DFR unable to enforce restitution

orders,” said Commissioner Pieciak.

“This fund will provide financial assistance

to victims of scams and frauds who obtain

nominal relief from a court or the department,

but no monetary recovery. I’m pleased that

we’re able to provide some relief to this victim,

while working to recover the rest of their

funds.”

Upon learning they would receive a partial

restoration of their financial losses from the

department, the victim responded, “the fact

that this fund exists is incredible. While my

experience with Mr. Therieau was devastating,

fortunately, the State of Vermont is able

to help ease the loss financially and emotionally.

It helps me in more than just tangible

ways to know the department is willing to

support me and others in this way.”

The department has received no additional

complaints from Vermont residents concerning

Therieau. If you believe you have been

a victim of a securities fraud, please contact

DFR at 833-DFR-HOTLINE, 802-828-3420,

or dfr.securitiesinfo@vermont.gov.

Vermont’s $36 Million Settlement with Purdue Pharma

and Sacklers Allowed to Move Ahead

Vermont’s receipt of its share of a national

settlement with Purdue Pharma and its owners,

the Sackler family, cleared its first hurdle

when the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the

Southern District of New York determined

that the settlement did not violate the Bankruptcy

Code. Under the settlement agreement,

Vermont is to receive $36.4 million and up to

an additional $1.454 million if certain conditions

are met. The settlement is conditioned

on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals overturning

an earlier District Court. The result

will be a nearly three-fold increase over the

$12.58 million allocated to Vermont in Purdue’s

original bankruptcy plan—a plan that

Attorney General T. J. Donovan objected to

and appealed in December 2021.

Good Food Good Medicine Wins VGN Award!

The Good ood Good edicine program runs year long

food justice programs at Green Acres and Highgate housing

in Barre, Vermont. Joann Darling, program coordinator of

GG works with residents and children teaching hands on

programs in gardening, herbals, cooking, nutrition, self-care,

and leadership. In early 2022 April Bahner, a community

organizer at Green Acres housing, wrote a grant offered by

Vermont Garden Network (VGN) and the VT Urban & Community

Forestry Program (VT UCF) for a Vermont fruit and

nut tree initiative. This state wide grant focuses on increasing

access to fruit and nut trees through plantings and related education

at select community garden sites across the state.

April wanted to add to the existing communal garden more

fruit and nuts tree plantings. She was recently notified by GN

that GG was award a $600 grant to acuire their fruit and

nut trees. Upon hearing this news April was ecstatic to learn

that her project was funded. She has since pulled together a

list of desired plants from local nurseries. The planting will

included, blueberries, a pear, peaches, currents, hazelnuts, elderberries

and strawberries. April is so proud of the communal

garden she helps organize, maintain and the fresh food that is

shared with residents of Green Acres housing.

GunSense Vermont Announces First Leadership

and Courage Awards on June 20

• • •

• • •

$36 Million Settlement continued from previous page

n une 20, 2022, GunSense ermont will host its first annual

Leadership and Courage Awards, honoring those who

have demonstrated their commitment to reducing gun violence

in Vermont. This year’s honoree is Ann Braden, who

founded GunSense Vermont in the wake of the 2012 shooting

in Newtown, Connecticut. Braden spearheaded a movement

that led to landmark, lifesaving gun policy reforms in Vermont

including mandatory background checks and raising the minimum

firearm purchase age to 21.

ur keynote speaker for the event will be arch for ur

Lives organizer, David Hogg. Thrust into the world of activism

by the largest school shooting in American history, Parkland

survivor Hogg has become one of the most compelling

voices of his generation.

Tickets can be purchased at httpswww.gunsensevt.org

GunSense Vermont is a 501c3 organization committed to

saving lives through education, outreach and advocacy. Every

year, 80 of our friends, family members and neighbors are

victims of gun violence deaths in our state. GunSense believes

that many of these are preventable tragedies, which can be reduced

through common sense policies that address negligent

and reckless behavior.

said Attorney General Donovan. “The Bankruptcy Court’s approval

of Vermont’s settlement with the Sacklers and Purdue

brings us all one step closer to the goal of holding industry

accountable and putting money back into our communities to

help fund treatment, prevention, and recovery services.”

Attorney General Donovan has been fighting to hold industry

accountable for its role in promoting and profiting from

the opioid crisis since 2017 when his office began investigating

opioid manufacturers and distributors. The settlement with

Purdue and the Sacklers, which Vermont agreed to in principle

last week, follows last month’s final approval of a $64 million

agreement with opioid distributors and Johnson & Johnson

and a settlement of $1.5 million with cKinsey in 2021.

The total amount of opioid settlements negotiated by Attorney

General Donovan is now more than $100 million for ermont.

Anything Goes

to Perform at Aldrich Library

Families, seniors, young people, and more are sure to enjoy

a concert with Anything Goes, featuring Mark Greenberg and

Ben Koenig, on Saturday, May 7, 2022, at 7:00 p.m. in the

Aldrich Public Library’s reading room. The concert, in memory

of long time Friends of the Library President Christine

Litchfield, will include American songs from the folk tradition

to Tin Pan Alley.

“When the Friends decided to hold a concert in Christine’s

memory,” Friends co-president Marianne Kotch said,

“Anything Goes came immediately to mind – they performed

a great sing-along concert at the library a few years ago.” The

duo’s music crisscrosses the American musical landscape with

original arrangements steeped in traditional styles. “There will

be something for everyone to enjoy – and, maybe, sign along

with,” Kotch noted. Anything Goes has performed throughout

central and northern Vermont and at the Champlain Valley and

Indian Neck (CT) Folk Festivals.

At Friends President Christine Litchfield’s passing in

September, 2021, Central Vermont lost a musician who loved

to share her music. Christine spent much of her life encouraging

singing throughout the Barre community, whether while

teaching elementary school, serving as music director of the

Barre Congregational Church, or, in retirement, volunteering

at Woodridge Nursing Home, the Barre Senior Center, Project

Youth Lobby’s Rally for the Planet Returns to Montpelier

Montpelier, Vermont: On the 29th of April, Vermont’s

Youth Lobby will be hosting a climate rally from 10-1:30 on

the Vermont State Capitol lawn in Montpelier, Vermont. From

8:30-10, there will be some pre-rally activities at Montpelier

High School, where the march to the capitol will begin. We

welcome students of all ages, along with adult allies. If you

are interested in joining us, we ask that you sign up at youthlobby.org

so we can best estimate how many people will be

there.

Youth Lobby has been hosting Rally for the Planet for a

number of years now, but took a break during the COVID-19

Pandemic. This year, we are proud to invite various green jobs

to showcase their work to students to give internship opportunities

this summer and speeches from student leaders from

Independence, and more. Even during the pandemic, she

The concert at the Aldrich Public Library, 6 Washington St.,

served by the Friends afterwards. For more information, call

Marianne Kotch at (802) 476-4185.

across the state. There will also be food from the food truck

the Melted Cheesiere, which is located in Barre, Vermont.

The Vermont Youth Lobby is a grassroots coalition of young

people and adult allies from across the state who are working

together in partnership with legislators, community members,

nonprofit organizations, and the local business community to

affect the changes younger generations are demanding. We

are committed to nonviolence and inclusivity of ideas from

across the political spectrum, as long as they are for the betterment

of our collective future, and not the profit of a few.

We work with the system, not against it, and always promote

polite, civil, and fact-based dialogue in the pursuit of a better

future and more informed solutions. We only hope that those

in power can learn to do the same.

ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain and Capstone Head Start

Collaborate on STEM Education Opportunities for Teachers and Students

ECHO, Leahy Center for Lake Champlain and Capstone

Community Action’s Head Start are collaborating on an exciting

STEM enrichment grant project for preschool classrooms.

The Early STEM Outreach project is designed to support

teacher professional development by increasing skills and

confidence in STE activity facilitation. Teachers have the

opportunity to identify areas where they would like additional

support. ECHO provides programming and STEM teaching

materials that support fun and engaging outreach programs for

the students and their families.

“ECHO is excited to work with 30 educators and over 150

students at the Capstone Head Start sites in Lamoille, Washington

and Orange counties,” stated Elizabeth Nuckols ECHO

program manager. “Students will grow their communication,

problem solving, and critical thinking skills as they play and

practice working like engineers – designing tools to solve

problems. Children will build confidence in their skills and

see themselves as capable of science, technology, engineering

and math work all while having fun.”

A Capstone Head Start teacher shared, “Elizabeth’s lessons

are engaging, and interactive, what a gift this is for our

students to have this experience.” The Lamoille county staff

started the STEM Outreach grant project in December 2021

and will conclude in June 2022. The positive collaboration

with ECHO is a welcome addition to the professional development

opportunities already accessible by Capstone Head

Start staff.

Vermont Master Angler Program

2021 Annual Report Released

The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department

has released the Vermont Master Angler

Program 2021 Annual Report with 1,169

entries and 73 Master Angler Award recipients.

Vermont’s wealth of waters and abundant

fish populations provide many opportunities

to experience outstanding fishing. The

Vermont Master Angler Program recognizes

the achievements of anglers who catch trophy-sized

fish from Vermont waters and celebrates

the clean water and healthy habitats

that allow these fish to survive and grow to

exceptional sizes.

The Vermont Master Angler program is a

length-based program that sets “trophy sized”

benchmarks for 33 eligible fish species.

While these trophy-sized fish are a challenge

to catch, they are attainable for anglers that

develop the necessary knowledge and skills.

Anglers catching a fish exceeding the

minimum qualifying length in any of the 33

species categories can receive a certificate

commemorating their catch. Their names and

catches are also included in the Vermont

Master Angler Annual Report posted annually

on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife website.

Anglers demonstrating the skill necessary to

catch multiple species that all exceed the

minimum qualifying lengths in the same calendar

year are recognized as “Vermont Master

Anglers” and receive a unique one-of-a-kind

lapel pin at the end of the year. To qualify for

Third Piano Quartet. As one

of Vermont’s leading collaborative

pianists, Cerutti

performs with the Mad River

Festival, All-State Music Festival,

Music-COMP, and the

Vermont Symphony Orchestra.

Cerutti has also performed

for Counterpoint, TURNmusic

for the 2015 production

of A Fleeting Animal, and the

Unadilla productions of HMS

Pinafore, Mikado, and Pirates

of Penzance.

Cerutti has premiered

works by Vermont composers

Michael Close, Lydia Busler, Erik Nielsen,

David Gunn, Dennis Bathory-Kitz, Carol

Wood, and Canadian composer David Jaeger.

She appears in the soundtrack of Bess

O’Brien’s documentary “All of Me,” playing

the music of Erik Nielsen.

“Cerutti … proved an ideal interpreter. Employing

her substantial technique, she colored

Nielsen’s lines and evoked his characters with

a naturalness that gave her performance the

narrative feeling of storytelling. It was a substantial

and rewarding performance of truly

compelling music.” ~Jim Lowe, Times Argus

University of Vermont (UVM) Extension

4-H, will conclude with an awards ceremony

at 1 p.m. followed by refreshments.

their project work and other achievements.

Admission is free.

team and individual demonstrations and illustrated

the annual Vermont Master Angler pin, an

angler must submit qualifying entries for five

or more species within a calendar year.

2021 was another record year for the program,

with 1,169 entries approved, 332 of

which were from youth anglers. There were

also 73 Vermont Master Angler award recipients

in 2021, 17 of which were youth anglers.

Youth anglers have a slightly lower minimum

qualifying length for each species.

“We were surprised to see another record

year for the program in 2021, especially since

we set a record the previous year too,” said

state fisheries biologist Shawn Good. “I’m

hoping it’s because Vermonters who discovered

fishing and the Master Angler Program

during the 2020 Covid pandemic continued

fishing and enjoying the program in 2021.

Good says that the program provides the

department with information on big fish

throughout the state and helps promote the

many diverse fishing opportunities that

Vermont has to offer.

“One of the best things about this program

is that it provides some families with a little

extra incentive to get outside and enjoy some

quality time together on the water.”

Robin Barton

Robin Barton was born in May of

1956 in Virginia Beach, Virginia and

died a couple of days ago at the Dartmouth

New Hampshire Palliative

Care Facility after putting up a gallant

battle against diabetes and its

complications. Never one to complain,

she faced this horrific disease

until her body could no longer endure

this hardship. All that knew her found her to be a remarkable

lady full of love and compassion, and I, as

well as family and friends, miss her dearly.

As I awaited the eventual passing of Robin I tried to

understand why the world wasn’t transfied on the significance

of such a monumental event. Do they not feel

the encroaching sorrow that will soon be upon us? Are

they not privy to what’s happening? Did she not touch

all who were lucky enough to know her? I feel sorrow

for their loss, and eternally grateful for being her chosen

one.

“Woman,” was my pet name for this lovely creature,

and it paid tribute to her; she was always such a lady

and defender of family values and children. She gave

freely to the Shriner’s Hospital and the Central Vermont

Animal Shelter, and over the years cared for and cherished

her numerous small dogs. These little bundles of

joy were her constant companions, and brought joy to

her life. This joy, as great as it was, was only a distant

challenge compared to her son Chandler and his children;

she always made it a point to send them a birthday

or Christmas present. If times were tight, they could as

a minimum epect some of her fabulous cookies. hile

at this time I may have led you to believe they were her

whole world, we must acknowledge her mother, brother

and his wife, brother-in-law, and all nieces and nephews

who were also at the core of her happiness. My family

thought the world of her, and she was always a loving

significant figure in their lives. hen possible she was

in contact with all of them and took great pleasure to

know they were well and listened intensely to their days’

undertakings.

Robin loved her numerous gardens, her home, plants,

and gifts from family and friends. Robin prided herself

on her independence and was giving to a fault, always

thinking of others before herself.

Woman was a devout lover of the ocean, its sand, sun,

and the warm breeze coming off the water. Originally

living just a few miles from the ocean in Virginia Beach,

Virginia, she was able to frequently visit and bask in its

beauty. She traded this love of the ocean for the green

mountains in 1987, when she and her son Chandler

moved to Vermont to be with me!

obin first started work for oseph cEntyre a lawyer

in lainfield, ermont, and rented an apartment

above his office. Later on she worked as a legal secretary

or administrative assistant for various firms and

nonprofits. She took great pride in her work, and was

highly praised for her skills and accomplishments. –Michael

Carriveau

Anthony loved to go fishing, he’d go with family, a

Sanders and VA Secretary Hear Directly from Vermont Veterans

During Two-Day Visit to See Health Care System Firsthand

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), former chair and current member

of the U.S. Senate Committee on Veterans’ Affairs, last

week hosted Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Cabinet

Secretary Denis McDonough on a two-day visit to see firsthand

Vermont’s health care system for veterans and hear

directly from the veterans it serves.

Throughout the trip, Sanders and McDonough met with

Vermont VA leadership, veterans, clinical and non-clinical

staff, union representatives, and medical students, including

six veterans and military students. On Wednesday, April 13,

Sanders and McDonough visited the White River Junction VA

Medical Center and regional benefits office. On Thursday,

April 14, Sanders and McDonough met with staff of the

Burlington Community Based Outpatient Clinic and toured

the facility to better understand the current space and opportunities

for expansion. Sanders hosted a roundtable of Vermont

veterans to hear directly from them about their experience

with the VA. Sanders and McDonough also met with students

at the University of Vermont’s Larner College of Medicine to

discuss health care for veterans and medical careers within the

VA health care system. Sanders and McDonough were available

to media on both days following the visits to the VA

Medical Center and Community Based Outpatient Clinic.

At the end of the visit, in the rain under a tent outside the

Burlington Outpatient Lakeside Clinic, Sanders said: “I want

to thank Secretary McDonough for spending not just one day

here in Vermont, but two days. During this visit, he and I

spoke with dozens and dozens of Vermont veterans. Secretary

McDonough was able to hear directly from VA practitioners

and administrators, medical students, and Vermont veterans

themselves. And I think he’s learned a lot about the strengths

of Vermont’s VA system and some of the problems that we

have yet to overcome. In a very divided Washington D.C., it

is my hope and belief that every member of the United States

Congress understand that we cannot turn our backs on the

men and women who put their lives on the line to defend this

country. And that, for all veterans, good quality health care is

a right that they have earned and that we have got to deliver.”

Discussions throughout the trip ranged across issues faced

by veterans in Vermont and around the country, from expanding

eligibility to allow more veterans to enroll in the VA

health care system, to addressing the housing crisis hitting

Vermont communities and VA staff as well. As many veterans

indicated throughout the visit, VA health care is excellent, but

figuring out how to enroll can be complex and convoluted,

making it so some veterans give up before they have a chance

Vermont House Gives Preliminary Approval to Bill to Improve

2013 Medical Aid-in-Dying Law

Patient Choices Vermont and Compassion & Choices

praised the Vermont House of Representatives for their preliminary

approval of Senate Bill 74 to update and improve the

state’s 2013 Patient Choice at End of Life Law, Act 39. The

Vermont Senate passed the bill on a voice vote on Jan. 25.

Act 39 gives terminally ill adults in Vermont, who are mentally

capable of making their own decisions, the option to

obtain a doctor’s prescription for aid-in-dying medication

they can decide to self-administer to peacefully hasten their

death, if they so choose. Participation in the law is completely

voluntary for patients, physicians and pharmacists.

Vermont is among 10 states, as well as Washington, D.C.,

that have similar laws providing end-of-life choice for more

than one out of five Americans (22%).

“On behalf of the many Vermonters who express their

gratitude for Act 39, we thank the Vermont House for listening

to the voices of terminally ill Vermonters,” says Betsy

Walkerman, President of Patient Choices Vermont. “These

improvements will make proper use of the law less onerous

for dying people while keeping the safeguards strong.”

“Vermont lawmakers have reviewed the evidence and data

from Vermont and the other authorized states and recognized

that it’s time to eliminate unnecessary regulatory roadblocks

that prevent some terminally ill people from accessing medical

aid in dying,” said Kim Callinan, president and CEO of

Compassion & Choices, the nation’s largest end-of-life care

advocacy group. “As a result, more terminally ill Vermonters

Knowing the Signs of Drug and Alcohol Addiction

April is National Alcohol Awareness Month. Established in

1987 by the National Council on Alcoholism and Drug

Dependence, it’s a time to reach out to communities across the

country and provide answers to end the stigma associated

with alcohol abuse.

“There’s definitely a genetic component when it comes to

addiction and substance abuse,” Jennifer Pelletier, one of two

Addiction Medicine providers at Gifford said. “Parents who

struggle with these issues can often pass them onto their children.”

Pelletier says to look for these signs your family member,

friend, loved one or colleague may be battling a form of

addiction:

• Changes in behavior

• If they’re drinking a lot more or trying to hide their alcohol

use

• Taking higher risks like drinking and driving

If you suspect someone has a problem, Pelletier says telling

them, “They have to get help or there will be a consequence,”

doesn’t typically work. She suggests people talk to their loved

ones in a way that is gentle and from a place of concern as

opposed to a place of anger.

“We do require that the individual reaches out to schedule

the appointment and come in, because we want to see that

• • •

• • •

to experience the great health care provided by the VA.

Another major point that came up throughout the trip from

Vermont veterans and other participants, was the urgent need

for the VA to include dental care coverage in its health care

offerings.

At the end of the visit, McDonough said: “It was a privilege

traveling with Senator Sanders and speaking with veterans of

the great state of Vermont. While VA has done some great

work on their behalf, it’s clear we still have work to do. Our

passionate and dedicated VA workforce in Vermont has been

remarkable – especially under the crucible of the pandemic

these past two years. This is indicative of the commitment VA

has in working with Senators Sanders and Leahy, and

Representative Welch to help deliver the absolute best care

and services to Veterans.”

Sanders also stated: “Right now there are some immediate

issues that my office is working on, which we’ve been talking

to the secretary about and we hope to implement them in the

months and years to come. One is this: It is my belief, and we

have legislation to this effect, that dental care is health care,

and the VA should incorporate dental care as part of VA health

care. Number two, and in a more parochial sense, we have a

wonderful community-based outpatient clinic right here. It

needs to expand because it is outgrowing its ability to serve

veterans. A third point that I want to make is, I hope every

veteran in Vermont understands that the quality of VA health

care is high quality care. That if you’re eligible for VA health

care, you’re entitled to excellent quality hearing aids at very

small cost and the lowest cost prescription drugs available in

America. So, I look forward to working with the secretary to

do everything that we can to enroll every eligible Vermont

veteran into VA health care.”

Recently in the Senate, Sanders held a bipartisan roundtable

discussion on strengthening VA dental care with the current

chairman of the Senate Veterans’ Affairs Committee Jon

Tester (D-Mont.), committee ranking member Jerry Moran

(R-Kans.), stakeholders, and VA officials. In 2021, Sanders

introduced two pieces of legislation – the Veterans Dental

Care Eligibility Expansion and Enhancement Act and the

Veterans State Eligibility Standardization Act – that would

ensure universal dental care coverage for all veterans through

the VA and eliminate long-standing barriers to health care for

veterans across the country. This legislative push would also

help address the shortage of dentists in the U.S. by ensuring

the VA maintains dental clinics in all states and incentivizing

dental school enrollment and service to the nation’s veterans.

will be able to avoid needless suffering and die peacefully.”

The bill would improve the following three aspects of Act

39:

• Telemedicine: Enable terminally ill Vermonters to make

their requests for medical aid in dying under Act 39 by video

telemedicine.

• Timeline: Adjust the Act 39 timeline to eliminate the final

48-hour delay in obtaining a prescription.

• Immunity: Correct a technical deficiency in Act 39 by clarifying

that all participants in the process including the pharmacist

have legal immunity.

Dr. Diana Barnard says, “Tony Digiacomo, husband of

Lynn Achee, a former patient of mine asked me to share her

story in the hopes that other people would not have to suffer

the delays and heartache that she did. The long Act 39 process

caused her to miss the window for using medical aid in dying.

Her husband Tony said she would be grateful to know that

S.74 has been approved by both houses of the legislature.”

Patient Choices Vermont (PCV) is a non-profit organization

focused on educating Vermonters about end-of-life

choice and medical aid in dying. PatientChoices.org.

nonprofit organization working to expand and improve

Prop 5/Article 22 Is a Can of Unintended Consequences

By Norman C. Smith, Esq.

This November, Vermonters will be asked to vote on

whether or not to amend our state constitution to add language

creating a right to “personal reproductive autonomy.” This

amendment is called Proposal 5 (it would add Article 22 to the

Vermont Constitution) and is being hyped by politicians and

the media as a means of protecting at the state level the abortion

rights conferred by Roe v. Wade at the federal level. This

is inaccurate, and, from a legal standpoint, dangerously so.

Before we get into the details of why Proposal 5 is a legal

disaster, here is a bit about where I’m coming from. I received

my law degree from the Boston University School of Law in

1980 and clerked for Albert W. Barney, Jr., (1980 – 81) who

was then Chief Justice of the Vermont Supreme Court. I have

much experience with constitutional law and arguing cases

before the Vermont Supreme Court.

Proposed Article 22 is one sentence, but it is important to

read it verbatim:

“That an individual’s right to personal reproductive autonomy

is central to the liberty and dignity to determine one’s own

life course and shall not be denied or infringed unless justified

by a compelling State interest achieved by the least restrictive

means.”

As you can see for yourself, this language is vague, and the

concepts are undefined.

Oddly, for a measure ostensibly to support a woman’s right

to an abortion, the proposed Article 22 never mentions

“women,” “abortion,” or “pregnancy.” This should raise some

serious red flags. What are the implications that a man now

has a right to personal reproductive autonomy equal to that of

the woman?

That the language fails to define “Personal Reproductive

Autonomy” is a major problem. This term is not defined in

Vermont or federal law and is so open-ended it could mean

many things. If it was meant to protect abortion rights, it

should have said so. If it is intended to protect other “reproductive

rights,” it should have spelled them out. Because it is

so vague, we don’t know what the repercussions of Article 22

will be.

We do not know what medical procedures may become

available in the future, or what science may reveal. The proposed

Amendment could prevent, or at least make very difficult,

the Legislature’s adoption of appropriate laws and regulations

applying to them. To pass any type of regulation

involving “Personal Reproductive Autonomy,” the State must

have a “compelling State Interest” and the regulation must be

“achieved by the least restrictive means.”

• • •

For example, would a right to “reproductive autonomy”

allow parents to genetically manipulate their offspring to create

“designer babies?” Or abort babies because genetic testing

detects possible future traits, such as sexual orientation?

Would it allow human cloning for reproductive purposes?

Will the proposed amendment open the door to a modern-day

form of eugenics? These are all areas where the Legislature

may wish to adopt rules and regulations setting forth standards

which may need to be met, or even prohibitions. Would

the State have a “compelling State interest” to adopt such

regulations? We do not know how the Vermont Supreme

Court would rule. The Court generally looks at these on a

case-by-case basis.

Furthermore, from a social policy standpoint, would a

minor girl’s right to “personal reproductive autonomy” be

“infringed” if she were prohibited from having sexual relations

with her chosen partner who is an adult. Conversely,

could her partner be prohibited from having sexual relations

with her?

Commercially, would the proposed Amendment open the

door to legalized trafficking in gestational surrogacy, to selling

embryos for fertility procedures, or to creating embryos

for medical experimentation?

While you’re considering all those possibilities, consider

this too: if the purpose of the proposed Amendment is to protect

Roe v. Wade abortion rights, it is completely unnecessary.

If the US Supreme Court were to overturn Roe v. Wade, that

decision would leave to the States the adoption of laws and

regulations regarding abortion. In 2019, the Legislature

passed Act 47, which guarantees women’s unlimited access to

abortion up to the point of birth! (Unlike the proposed

Amendment, Act 47 specifically spells this out.) So, we’ve

already got the “What if they repeal Roe?” card covered.

Ironically, the proposed Amendment could actually undermine

the protections for women provided in Act 47, depending

upon how a court interprets a man’s right to “personal

reproductive autonomy” where it comes into conflict with a

woman’s. Why risk this?

From a legal and Constitutional standpoint, the proposed

Amendment fails all tests. It is not clear. It leaves the term

“Personal Reproductive Autonomy” undefined. As a result, it

does not provide certainty and opens a legal can of worms

limited only by the cleverest lawyers’ imaginations and the

willingness of deep pocketed activists to fund their lawsuits. I

urge my fellow Vermonters to vote NO on the proposed

Article 22 when you cast your ballots this November.

Statement of Lt. Governor Molly Gray on Voter Participation in

the August 2022 Primary Election

• • •

Lt. Governor Molly Gray released the following statement

on voter participation in the August 2022 Primary Election:

“With COVID still posing health and safety risks to Vermonters,

I’ve heard confusion from voters who believe that

the vote-by-mail procedures applicable to the 2020 General

Election apply to the upcoming August Primary.

I want to clarify for Vermonters, that at this time, the legislature

has not approved universal vote- by-mail for primary

elections in Vermont. State election laws and procedures are

the purview of the Vermont legislature.

I want to inform Vermonters wishing to vote from home

(absentee or early voting) that at this time you must request

a ballot. Vermonters may do so by visiting the website of the

Vermont Secretary of State, available here: https://sos.vermont.gov/elections/.

Questions about voting may be directed

to a town clerk or to the Elections Division of the Vermont

Secretary of State at sos.elections@vermont.gov or by calling

800-439-VOTE.

I agree with the Vermonters I’ve heard from, that we need to

make vote-by-mail possible for primary elections in Vermont.

In 2020, because of the tremendous leadership of our Vermont

Secretary of State Jim Condos and his staff, we saw record

voter turnout in both our primary and general elections.

We need to ensure Vermonters have every tool to safely participate

in the August 2022 Primary. The legislature has my

full support in taking steps to fully authorize and fund voteby-mail

for the August 2022 Primary.”

New Tax Increment Financing Report: Program

Increases Ed Fund and Economic Opportunity

The Vermont League of Cities and Towns (VLCT) released

an independent analysis of Vermont’s Tax Increment Financing

(TIF) program that concluded that TIF helps Vermont meet

its smart growth goals, promotes long-term planning, and

contributes to net-growth in the Education Fund. The report

comes as the Vermont Legislature considers expanding TIF to

smaller, rural communities through “project-based TIF.”

“VLCT commissioned the report to evaluate if the TIF

program was meeting its intent of spurring development and

growing tax revenues,” said VLCT Executive Director Ted

Brady. “The findings of the analysis support the continued

use and expansion of the program. In short, it’s advancing

our codified development goals, encouraging communities to

think long-term, and growing our tax base.”

Brady explained that Vermont’s TIF law allows municipalities

to incur debt to make public infrastructure investments

and repay that debt with a portion of the increased property tax

revenue sparked by the new infrastructure.

The City of South Burlington is currently using the TIF

program to finance infrastructure improvements in its new

downtown.

South Burlington City Manager Jessie Baker said “In the

six years studied by the University of Wisconsin research

team, Vermont’s TIF program paid for $180 million in public

infrastructure in 12 TIF districts, generating nearly $685

million in development, nearly 4,000 jobs, and a 68 percent

increase in property tax revenue for the Education Fund. The

research team found that the Education Fund would be smaller

if not for our state’s TIF Districts.”

VLCT hired the Hartland, Vermont-based Rural Innovation

Strategies (RIS) to complete the analysis. RIS partnered with

the University of Wisconsin Oshkosh Center for Customized

esearch and Services. The report included ten key findings

• Vermont’s TIF policy clearly meets the state’s community

and economic development goals.

• TIF serves as a powerful long-term planning tool.

Ninotchka (1939)

• • •

Once upon a time, a smart and charismatic young

Swedish woman named Greta came along. Her selfless

goal was to educate the American public about

the catastrophic manmade disaster that was already sweeping

the globe.

Of course I’m talking about Communism.

In the late 1930s, it wasn’t universally agreed that the

Soviet Union was a humanitarian calamity. Some western

news sources downplayed the purges and the famines. Some

viewed Bolshevism as a wholesome alternative to fascism.

But the truth was clear to those willing to see it:

Communism was already a proven

failure. “Ninotchka” is a fantastic

anti-Soviet satire. With romance,

humor, and a light touch, the film eviscerates

Communism and shows us that

Western culture is inherently superior.

Greta Garbo is transcendently

delightful as Ninotchka: a Russian diplomat

and true believer in the

Communist cause. “The mass trials

were a great success,” she says when she

gets off the train from Moscow. “There

are going to be fewer but better Russians.”

Ninotchka is in Paris on a mission to

sell Russian jewelry. The USSR is in desperate

need of hard currency so it can buy

Western tractors. The first rule of

Communism is that there is always a

shortage of necessities because the State is

incompetent and inefficient.

While walking the streets judging everything

she sees, Ninotchka bumps into a

charming Parisian named Count Leon

D’Algout (Melvyn Douglas). Though the

Russian won’t so much as smile at him,

Leon is smitten. He follows her around the

city, flirting all the way.

Ninotchka is not allowed to believe in

love. “Why must you bring in wrong values?”

she asks Leon. “Love is a romantic designation

for a most ordinary biological, or shall we

say chemical, process.”

But whether the State approves or not, Ninotchka is falling

• • •

• Measuring the performance of TIF districts is complicated.

• The revenue story is equally complicated but suggests TIF

districts generate net revenue growth to the Education Fund

above naturally occurring growth.

• TIF generates a clear rate of economic growth not recognized

in previous analyses.

• Forecasting a rate of return from TIF is complicated.

• TIF produces conditions that allow communities to leverage

other assistance.

• The combination of safeguards built into Vermont’s TIF

statutes maximize its effectiveness and accountability while

minimizing risk.

• Comparing TIF to other state economic development programs

emphasizes the economic and operational benefits of

TIF.

• Vermont’s TIF policy must change in order for rural communities

to use the program.

Johnson Selectboard Member Eric Osgood said he hoped

a proposed project-based TIF pilot program in the Senatepassed

version of H.159 would become law this year. The

proposal would allow municipalities to apply to the Vermont

Economic Progress Council for a relatively smaller TIF of

up to $5 million to build public infrastructure in a designated

growth area or an industrial park.

Osgood said “Johnson would be hard pressed to use the existing

TIF program. As a selectboard member for a small rural

community, I welcome the changes in H.159 that would right

size the TIF program and TIF requirements so that Johnson

and other rural communities could have the same access to

capital that the bigger communities in Vermont have had for

nearly 40 years.”

for Leon. And Garbo’s transition

from emotionless drone

to happy lover is joyful to

behold.

Director Ernst Lubitsch

understands why the

Bolshevik experiment was

destined to fail. It wasn’t

just the overcrowded apartment

buildings and Siberian

forced labor camps.

Lubitsch argues that

Communism was certain

to fail because it was trying

to remold humanity.

Moscow thought it could

create a race of subjects

whose only passion and

loyalty was for the State.

But they never could.

Lenin was as wrong as

John Locke. We are not

born as clean slates. We

have a fundamental

human nature, and it

craves creativity and

love.

“Ninotchka” is as

great as cinema gets.

It’s an insightful analysis

of the Soviet Union and a

first-rate romantic comedy.

This is my first Greta Garbo movie. And I was blown away

by her talent and screen presence. Greatest Greta ever.

Hot Registry Items

Marshall Field’s in Chicago started

the first ridal registry in as a

way for the happy couple to indicate

chosen crystal, china and silver

patterns to their friends and family.

Since then, the registry has come a long way. Couples

can register online for any number of things for their new

household or even for their honeymoon. Here are some

of the hottest gifts to register for according to The Knot.

SMART APPLIANCES

Coffee pots, vacuums and even the lowly toaster all

have high-tech brains nowadays that connect them to

the internet of things. The Revolution 2-slice high-speed

smart toaster ($299) has 63 settings with technology that

uses intelligent heating algorithms to sear rather than

bake your baked goods for a crisp outside and a soft,

chewy inside.

Showers of Flowers

Yellow is having a moment this year. One of Pantone’s colors of the year is

Illuminating, a bright yellow that’s spirited and energetic.

If you’ve picked sunny tones for your wedding palette, the

good news is that there are plenty of blossoms that will give

a pop to your bouquets, boutonnières and more.

ROSES

Yellow roses are classic additions to wedding bouquets.

There are hundreds of yellow rose varieties. Each has their

own shading, fragrance and bloom shape. The National

Gardening Association says there are several forms of rose

blooms, including the spherical cupped shape, high-centered

blooms, flat blooms, uartered blooms, rosettes, pompons

and globular blooms. With so many shapes to choose from,

it’s easy to find the right rose for your look.

HELLEBORES

Looking for a bloom of a different color? Hellebores have

pointed, leathery leaves with textured centers that range in

color from white to purple, including a variety of shades

of green. Some yellow hellebores can even have edging or

centers in other colors, including a stunning deep purple.

LILIES

Showy, trumpet-shaped lilies are stunning stars of any

bridal bouquet. Many varieties also have a pleasant fragrance

that festoons many a spring wedding. You can get classic,

star-shaped Asiatic lilies, Golden splendor trumpet lilies, dramatic

Caucasian lilies and the classic, vase-shaped calla lily.

TULIPS

Tulips are spring classics. They come in almost every

color of the rainbow and their simple cup shape and long

stems make them perfect for elegant bridal bouquets. Tulips

come in many shades from a creamy, buttery tone all the way

to neon yellow. Looking for more drama Ask your florist for

ruffled or double tulips.

DAISIES

If you’re going rustic for your nuptials, consider a bouquet

of daisies. Gerbera daisies have big blooms that can get up

to five inches in diameter and are more budget friendly than

other flowers. Also look for black-eyed Susans. Their brown

centers give your bouquet texture and depth, especially when

paired with plenty of greenery.

YARROW

These flat-topped bunches of tiny golden blooms are perfect

to accent larger blooms in your bouquet. Yarrow can be

arranged dried or fresh. Yarrow also has fern-like leaves that

can be used in your arrangements.

SUNFLOWERS

There may not be a more yellow flower than sunflowers.

They can get up to dinner-plate sized and make great cut

flowers. ith their dark centers and showy, sunny petals,

these flowers make for beautiful bouuet centerpieces and

lovely table arrangements.

LUGGAGE

As more places open up post-pandemic, more couples

are hitting the road. A set of luggage is a great, traditional

gift for the adventurous couple. Make sure you

choose a set that fits your lifestyle. f spend a lot of time

camping, you should choose duffel bags instead of those

hard-sided bags with a built-in charger.

LINENS

Towels, sheets and other goods are also standbys

on the wedding registry. What’s new is the popularity

of high-tech fabrics that are more sustainable and last

longer than traditional choices. Make sure to make color

and pattern choices that are classic and will last you for

years.

ELECTRONICS

Today’s houses are high-tech, as we’ve seen before

with the toaster, so it’s not unusual to add some electronics

to your wedding registry. Think of things such as

soundbars, robotic vacuums and air purifiers. Consider

the Cuisinart convection toaster oven ($179), which puts

the power of a convection oven right on your countertop.

It’s a budget-friendly way to get the versatility of

the convection oven without having to replace a major

appliance.

KITCHEN APPLIANCES

Beyond the smart appliances, many couples are also

registering for some appliances that may not have been

on your mom’s wedding registries. These include things

like air fryers, espresso machines, electronic pressure

cookers and immersion blenders. Another popular option

is the Nomad six-quart traveling slow cooker ($74).

It looks like a lunch cooler, but it cooks on the go. It

features a nonstick surface for easy clean-up and has a

cool-touch surface for safe handling.

MOTHER’S DAY | MAY 8, 2022

If You’ve Lost Your

Mother

For many, Mother’s Day is a time for

recalling someone who is no longer with

s eres how to honor yor mom ater

shes gone

TELL HER STORY

Make sure you mother is never forgotten by telling her

story to the net generation. ou may also find solace

in reaching out to some of your mother’s other family

and friends to learn new things. Their stories can then

become part of yours.

WRITE TO HER

You always bought her a card for Mother’s Day — so

why break with tradition? Writing down your thoughts

and feelings, even in just a few brief words, can be

therapeutic for those with deceased moms. Share as

much or as little as you’d like. Just make sure it’s from

the heart. nce you’ve finished, sign it as you always

did — with love.

If Being a Mom Had a Salary

ts impossile o corse to place a monetary vale on what moms do or their amilies

Still, if you tried, here’s a guess about the kind of salary

they might make.

SIX FIGURES

ne epert pegged the number of jobs the average mother

holds at 18, when you factor in everything they’re typically

responsible for. That would garner wages of about $116,000

in 2021, according to Insure.com — up from almost $94,000,

because of increasing responsibilities related to the pandemic.

Salary.com factored in their roles as both chief operating

officer and chief financial officer for the family, and placed

moms pay even higher: $184,820. Time spent on those two

responsibilities alone doubled to more than 20 hours per

week since the pandemic began, according to Salary.com’s

evaluation.

CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS

The U.S. Labor Department’s American Time Use Survey

found that stay-at-home moms with a child under 18 spent

almost 6.5 hours per day on household tasks and child care.

Almost half of that time was devoted to the child, while

housework and food-related tasks took up nearly four more

hours. The rest was the day was devoted to running errands

and odd jobs around the house. Multiply the number of hours

moms spend on these tasks by the typical hourly wage for

those who work professionally in these industries, and you

get a rough idea about how much she might make. For instance,

the Labor Department places the median hourly wage

for daycare workers at $11.57, so moms would make about

$29.62 per day when spending 2.56 hours a day in child care.

Using these same calculations, moms would make more than

$41 a day if they were paid the same as chefs, too.

SAYING THANKS

We live in the so-called gig economy, where more and

more people are working multiple or hybrid jobs.

Moms have always worked that way, wearing a closet full

of hats. They are the family CEO, the academic advisor and

the accountant. They are the daycare teacher, the dietitian,

the event planner and the eecutive housekeeper. They’re

the interior designer, the judge and magistrate, and the tailor.

They’re the life coach, the photographer and the plumber.

And unlike all of those workers in corporate settings all

over the world, most moms do it all for a simple “thanks” —

and that’s what Mother’s Day is really for.

PAY YOUR RESPECTS

In Peru, Mother’s Day traditions include stops at local

cemeteries, where the graves of moms who have passed

on are cleaned and then decorated. Incorporate this idea

into your own holiday by visiting your mother’s final

resting place. Bring an arrangement of white carnations

— the traditional flower of remembrance — and other

appropriate mementos that remind you of mom. If you’d

like, say a few words, or perhaps read a favorite poem.

Just being there can sometimes bring great comfort.

RETURN TO HER RECIPES

Did your mother have a special dish or meal that she

always served on major family occasions? Why not strap

on an apron and cook like she once did? Share this special

meal with friends, family members and neighbors.

Whether it was a homemade soup, a Sunday roast, cake

or pie, returning to these heirloom recipes will bring

cherished memories rushing back.

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF

Remember that how you spend this holiday is

completely up to you. Perhaps you want to perform

some special act of appreciation, or spend time with

family and friends. Or maybe you’d rather have a quiet

day alone, working on some home project or perhaps

gardening. Whatever you choose, work to avoid guilt, in

particular early into your time apart. Respect your own

feelings on a day that can be associated with such acute

pain for those left behind.

Mother’s Day and Your Ex

avigating throgh holidays lie others ay can e dificlt ater divorce

eres how to mae sre it doesnt ecome a sticy sitation

OPEN COMMUNICATION

Both parents should be respectful and transparent about the

process, from planning to drop off and pick up. Communication

issues are often at the root of divorce, so this might be

easier said than done. But the focus here is on smoothing the

way for a parent to spend time with her children on a very

special day. It’s not the time to bring up past issues.

FOCUS ON THE KIDS

Hard feelings may remain after a marriage ends, but the

holidays are for kids — and this one, really, is no different.

Mother’s Day is a chance for little ones to put their mother’s

care and sacrifice into perspective, then to show how thankful

they are. Discuss how children want to honor mom, then

help them with handmade projects and special messages, as

needed. Follow their lead, and you’ll be ensuring their words

are heard and wishes are followed — but also taking any

personal conflict out of the process, as well.

REMAIN FLEXIBLE

For a previous Mother’s Day, parents of youngsters might

have simply purchased gifts and put the child’s name on it. Is

that still appropriate after divorce? Do whatever feels comfortable

for your family. The key to making potentially awkward

circumstances work is remaining fleible. Concessions

might have to be made, for instance, on visitation schedules

in order to accommodate the holiday. If your children are

teenaged or older, they are more able to manage shopping,

craft making and transportation. Younger kids might need

more help, however, beginning with advice from you about

gift ideas. At this point, you may still know more about your

e’s hobbies, favorite flower, cherished movies and music,

or preferred restaurants than your kids do. Helping children

choose the perfect gift will give the day more meaning for

them.

WHY IT’S IMPORTANT

Managing situations like these with love and care helps

younger children understand the concept of conflict resolution,

a needed skill both at home and in our work lives. Putting

them first can also give a child the confidence they need

to move through a painful eperience like divorce. At the

same time, teaching them how to honor their mother, even

after you’ve split up, is also teaching them how to honor the

other women in their lives.

MOTHER’S DAY | MAY 8, 2022

How non-traditional families can celebrate Mother’s Day

No two families are the same. What may be “normal” for one family could be quite unique to another.

Because families are so different, days such as Mother’s

Day, Father’s Day, Grandparent’s Day, and even days devoted

to siblings or cousins present opportunities for families to

celebrate diversity while honoring their family members.

BRANCH OUT TO MANY CAREGIVERS

Certainly a person becomes a mother if she has given birth

to a child. But motherhood is a much broader concept. Many

women are mothers to children with whom they have little

to no biological connection. Some may be relatives that filled

the void left by a mother who passed away or was unable to

care for children. Anyone who has stepped into the role of

caretaker can and should be celebrated on Mother’s Day.

RECOGNIZING STEPMOTHERS

The notion of the “evil stepmother” in fairy tales is inaccurate.

Many children have very close relationships with

their stepmothers — even retaining relationships should

the stepmother divorce out of the family. Modern families

even include strong connections between stepmothers and

biological mothers, with each doing her part to make sure

children are getting the love and support they need.

SAME-SEX RELATIONSHIPS

Families continue to evolve and same-sex couples are raising

children. Among married same-sex couples, 18.9 percent

of the households have children under age 18. These nontraditional

families can be creative as they navigate holidays

like Mother’s Day or Father’s Day. One way to do so is to celebrate

one parent on Mother’s Day and the other on Father’s

Day. However, families also can remove gender labels and

celebrate both days as Parents Day, casting love and affection

on caregivers however they see fit.

ABSENT BUT NOT FORGOTTEN

Some mothers are not present in children’s lives for various

reasons. These can include death, incarceration, illness, military

deployment, or enrollment in a rehabilitation program.

Mother’s Day can be a time of mixed emotions for individuals

whose moms are not present, and families can work together

to find ways to celebrate. This may be visiting the cemetery to

pay respects or sending a letter to express one’s feelings. Individuals

also can recognize those people who act as surrogate

mothers, including special friends or coworkers who always

listen and offer advice.

Green Mountain Power Launches Sun Match

Program to Help Income-Eligible Customers Save

Green Mountain Power (GMP) launched

the Sun Match Pilot Program, to connect

more low- and moderate-income customers

with solar power. The Sun Match Pilot will

offer up to 500 eligible customers the opportunity

to sign up for a new solar rate, designed

to encourage energy use at times when solar

is plentiful. GMP is using an existing solar array,

which allows for participants to have access

to that generation to realize savings.

Over the course of a year, the average customer

in the program will save about $150,

and the amount can be even more if additional

energy use is shifted to the daytime hours,

when there is a lot of solar. The savings will

appear as a bill credit, and customers can opt

out at any time.

“This pilot program is an exciting way to

offer savings to income eligible customers

tied to clean, locally produced power, at the

time it is being produced,” said Josh Castonguay,

vice president and chief innovation officer.

“This pilot will help us learn what works

best for customers to tie their usage to generation

and ensure it is a seamless experience.”

GMP is using software (“Pando”) from

LO3 Energy that directly engages with customers

to see and understand their usage.

• • •

GMP customers who enroll in the program

can access a mobile app. that gives a forecast

of solar energy one to three days ahead to

highlight opportunities to save more by using

more energy when the sun is shining.

“We’re thrilled to further our partnership

with Green Mountain Power, a progressive

utility at the forefront of the clean energy

transition,” says Bill Collins, CEO of LO3

Energy. “Pando will help GMP’s customers

subscribe to solar and optimize their savings

by aligning their energy use with the sunniest

periods. Pando’s platform means customers

can easily participate in renewable energy

without upfront costs or long-term commitments

and can get information they need to

shift their usage to solar hours and save more

when it makes sense for them.”

The program is free to join, and to be eligible

customers must meet the eligibility requirements

for seasonal fuel assistance and

have a gross household income at or below

185% of the federal poverty level.

Customers interested in signing up for the

program or learning more can contact GMP at

sunmatch@greenmountainpower.com or sign

To Name a Cat

By Old George

Someone left a cat with no name!

She is so sweet, so tame.

So I hade to give her a name.

I once knew a girl by the name of Alelia.

She was so beautiful like a princess!

Every one just loved her so.

It was like she spread sunshine where ever she’d go!

I thought what a nice name “Princess Alelia”!!

So I thought about it all day.

Then I named my little cat Gray!

Sort a Like Her

By Old George

It gives me such a thrill.

To see my favorite girl of “Trow Hill.”

She has the soft voice of a whippoorwill.

When I see her time stands still.

My heart races my palms sweat, I flush.

I don’t know why she’s so pretty!

She makes me feel as warm as a summer’s blue sky.

Makes me tingle all over.

A cold chill runs down my spine.

But it makes me feel so fine.

I always look to see if she has a yard sale or something free.

It gives me an excuse to stop and visit a while!

She has such a warm beautiful smile.

But I never let on, that I sorta like my “Trow Hill Girl.”

So she’ll never know I like her so.

I’ll just stay her secret admirer though.

Trow Hill Girl

By Old George

Of you I always dream.

In my dreams your face I see.

The only one for me.

Like a beautiful spring day.

The sap flows down the hill.

To make syrup as sweet as you.

On the meadow flowers will grow.

But none as nice as you.

The scent of apple blossoms fill the air.

For only you I care.

I only want to see you there.

While spring is in the air.

Till then “Trow Hill Girl” of you I’ll dream.

A Mother’s Last Wish

By Old George

Mommy loves you, though to heaven I had to go today.

The Lord called me home.

My work on earth is done.

Though Mommy had to go away.

In your hearts I’ll always stay.

Gently kiss Mommy’s icy brow.

As they close the lid down.

Seek one last glimpse of Mommy’s face.

Mommy wanted to stay to see you grown.

But the Lord has called me home.

Mommy is in heaven now.

In an angel’s home.

Look up to heaven on a sunny day.

Feel Mommy’s warm love for you.

Always be good, so you can join Mommy in heaven.

At Mommy’s grave bow your heads to pray.

While in eternal sleep Mommy lay.

As in life Mommy is waiting, to welcome

You to her heavenly home.

Kiss a flower as you place it upon Mommy’s grave.

To let Mommy know.

That from your heart,

Your love for Mommy will never go.

Like a Star Lit Sky

By Old George

I look for my “Trow Hill Girl” as I drive by.

So in love am I.

But I’m too shy.

If I ask her, she’d only turn me down.

Laugh, make my heart cry!

I’m too ugly, too shy.

She’s as beautiful as a star lit sky!

So why would she want someone as I?

There’s a tree in the meadow.

Where the red poll sings a song,

As beautiful as the “Trow Hill Girl of my dreams!”

What To Know About Cat Reproduction

Veterinarians as well as animal

welfare organizations urge pet owners

to spay or neuter their pets, not

only to provide various health benefits,

but to help reduce overpopulation

in pet communities.

Cat pet parents must be especially

diligent in their quest to squelch

reproduction to help control cat

populations. According to The

Spruce: Pets, female cats that are not

spayed will come into estrus (heat)

as early as age four months. The animal

health resource BondVet says

a cat can go into heat as often as

every two to three weeks. Generally,

though, cats are seasonal breeders,

indicates the United Kingdom-based

SCA, which means heat cycles

slow down in autumn. Another

thing to note is that cats do not enter

menopause like people and other

animals. That means a female cat

can continue to reproduce well into

her senior years.

Cats can become pregnant even

during the first estrus cycle. A

feline’s pregnancy lasts around 63 to

65 days, or about nine weeks. A cat

also can be impregnated again very

quickly after giving birth, as nursing

kittens will not prevent a subsequent

pregnancy. The average litter size is

three to six kittens, so it’s easy to see

just how many kittens can be born

of one cat if she’s left to her own

reproductive

devices. Females also can be mated

by more than one male or even one

of their male relatives.

While there is still some debate

among veterinarians as to the best

age at which to spay or neuter cats,

the general consensus seems to be

the earlier the better, particularly if

cats have access to other cats that

are not fied. This can occur as early

as age six to eight weeks, while

standard spays and neuters occur at

five to si months of age. hysiologically

and behaviorally, cats are

built to reproduce as frequently as

possible. Pet owners must put a stop

to that to protect against overpopulation

and to reduce unwanted behaviors

like inappropriate marking,

aggression and other issues.

Common Cat Health Concerns

While they are very good at self-maintenance, cats are vulnerable to various illnesses

and other health issues. It is imperative for cat owners to recognize symptoms of

common conditions and seek veterinary help to keep cats as healthy as they can be.

• Panleukopenia: Commonly called Panleuk or

feline distemper, this is a virulent virus in the parovirus

group. It is common among feral cats or other

areas where large congregations of cats gather.

PetMD says almost every cat will come in contact

with this virus early in its life. Treatment for feline

distemper occurs on a case by case basis, though

fluid therapy to prevent dehydration and maintain

blood pressure is a common course of treatment.

• Feline lower urinary tract disease (FLUTD):

Estimates suggest as many as 3 percent of cats

who visit the vet have FLUTD, which is a group of

diseases with multiple causes. Symptoms include

drinking more, straining to urinate, urinating in unusual

places, crying while urinating, licking around

the urethra, lack of appetite, and vomiting.

• Fleas: Cats are subjected to various parasites,

including fleas. Cats that spend time both outside

and indoors may be especially vulnerable to flea

infestation. Hair loss, skin infections, flea dirt on

the skin, and constant scratching and licking are

signs of flea infestation. f left untreated, fleas can

cause anemia.

• Feline leukemia virus (FelV): Feline leukemia

was discovered in the 1960s and is one of the most

commonly diagnosed causes of disease in domestic

cats. FelV can severely inhibit a cat’s immune

system.

eline immunodeficiency virus Another

virus that can affect cats’ immune systems, FIV

is slow-acting and may not show symptoms until

years after initial infection. Cats may experience

secondary infections as the virus takes hold. FIV is

transmitted by deep bite wounds, during gestation

or during birth.

• Deafness: Many kittens are born without the ability

to hear. It is more common in white cats with

two blue eyes.

PET OF THE WEEK

Aster is a very energetic goofball, looking for a home that

can give her a lot of brain games to keep her busy. Aster is

working on her leash manners, and does best with an Easy-

Walk harness. Though she loves napping in a comfy chair,

she is a very busy girl looking for lots of attention and time

outside, and she really enjoys playing with her toys. Aster

will need someone to continue working on her Positive

Reinforcement Training, especially as she works on Four-onthe-Floor

when greeting. Aster has had experience with

children. She does have experience with other dogs, but like

many dogs, does not enjoy the company of every dog she

meets. Aster would do best in home without a cat.

SERVICE DIRECTORY

By JoAnn Derson

* A great idea for mini ice

packs: Freeze ketchup packets

you get from takeout food.

They are great for icing small

bumps or bug bites.

* Spread a teaspoon of peanut butter thinly on a

paper plate. Then when the dog is busy with its

treat, you can trim its nails. Or sometimes just

having it nearby as a promised treat can do the

trick to distract your pet. Good luck!

* “One of the things I do each spring (and fall) is

to go through my makeup and toss the old items.

also restock my first-aid kit and get new bottles

of sunscreen and bug spray to keep in my car kit,

so I will always have it around.” -- E.A. in California

* Love beans but trying to save a little money?

Don’t be intimidated by dry beans; just rinse

them and chuck them in the slow cooker. Add

water according to package directions and cook

on low for up to eight hours. After they cool, you

can bag them in freezer-safe, zipper-top bags and

freeze them for easy use later.

* “On a health kick: Step one is to keep a food

and activity diary for a week. You can get an idea

of what you eat, what times of the day you are

overeating and the areas where you can make

improvements. Knowledge is power!” -- V.R. in

Oregon

* J.D. of Massachusetts writes: Mix 1/2 cup vinegar

and a chamomile tea bag in a pan of medium

hot water. Let cool slightly and soak feet for up

to 10 minutes. Follow up with foot powder or deodorant.

Why it’s important to wash your car

The first things to come to mind when many people ponder vehicle maintenance are oil changes and

routine tune-ups. Though each of those things are vital components of automotive maintenance, it’s

important that drivers recognize the value of a thorough car wash as well.

Drivers may see a car wash as a way to make their car look

good, and that’s not untrue. An effective car wash can give a

car a look that mirrors how the vehicle appeared the moment

it was driven off the lot. But an effective wash is more than

just cosmetic. According to Consumer Reports, a thorough

car wash removes grit and residue, thus protecting the car’s

paint job and reducing the likelihood of corrosion. Though

late model vehicles aren’t as susceptible to rust, fading and

peeling as cars made decades ago, they still need a thorough

and routine wash to remove dirt, grime and bird droppings

that, over time, can adversely affect the paint job and, if left

unchecked, eat away at the metal.

Another benefit to routine car washes is they can prevent

damage related to seasonal issues. For example, individuals

who live in regions where winter snowfall is common

may routinely drive on roads that have been salted. Deicing

the roads makes driving safer, but salt can accumulate on

the undercarriage of the vehicle and contribute to corrosion.

Winter may not be a time many drivers visit the car wash, but

it’s important to do so after snow has melted and salt on the

roadways has been washed away by rain. Most car washes

now offer high-pressure undercarriage treatments that can

wash off salt and prevent corrosion and the formation of rust.

But it’s not just the eterior of the car that can benefit from

routine washing. When taking their cars to get washed, many

How to reduce vehicle maintenance costs

Major repairs to a vehicle can be expensive. When unanticipated repairs are necessary,

drivers’ budgets can be thrown out of whack, potentially causing a domino effect that

compromises their ability to pay their bills on time.

motorists pay a little extra to have their vehicle interiors

cleaned. Sometimes referred to as “interior detailing,” cleaning

the cabin of the car helps to maintain the interior so it

looks new longer. Routine interior cleaning also can remove

dust and other particles that can serve as irritants if allowed

to build up over time.

Resale and trade-in value is another factor to consider.

The automotive experts at Edmunds note that the average

transaction price for a used vehicle in the second quarter

of 2021 was $25,410, which marks a 21 percent increase

over the year prior. Much has been made of the microchip

issues that have compromised auto manufacturers’ ability to

produce new automobiles, and that led many motorists to the

preowned vehicle market. Dealerships also offered incentives

to drivers willing to trade in their late model cars. By taking

care of a vehicle’s interior, drivers are putting themselves

in position to capitalize on the increased reliance on the preowned

market. Prospective buyers, whether they’re private

citizens or dealerships, will see more value in a vehicle with

a well-maintained interior than one with a cabin that’s seen

much better days.

Car washes may be seen as a purely cosmetic form of vehicle

maintenance. But the benefits of routine and thorough

car washes extend far beyond aesthetic appeal.

Whether your vehicle is brand new, a few years old or

reaching milestones on its odometer with every mile driven,

there are ways to care for the vehicle so you aren’t caught off

guard by costly repairs down the road.

• Read your owner’s manual. A vehicle owner’s manual

is a great resource that can help drivers keep their cars and

trucks running strong for years. Every vehicle, whether it’s

purchased brand new from a dealership or preowned from

a preowned dealer or private citizen, should come with an

owner’s manual. Don’t worry if you purchased a preowned

vehicle from a private citizen who lost the manual, as many

manufacturers have manuals available for free on their

websites. Print manuals may cost some money. Drivers may

be able to find their manuals elsewhere online on a site such

as Justgivemethedamnmanual.com, which has thousands of

manuals from various automakers available. Once you have

the manual in hand or on your computer, visit the maintenance

section to familiarize yourself with the manufacturer’s

recommended maintenance guidelines. Adhering to those

guidelines is a great way to keep your car running strong for

years on end, and it might just save you from the hassle of

sudden expensive repairs.

• Protect the engine. The engine is arguably the most

expensive part of your vehicle to replace, so protecting it

should be a priority. outine oil changes and oil filter replacements

is a great way to protect the engine. Manufacturer

guidelines vary in regard to oil change and oil filter replacement

intervals, but such recommendations can be found in

your manual.

• Hone your DIY skills. Drivers also can save money on

maintenance by doing some of their own minor vehicle repairs.

YouTube is home to many DIY tutorials that can teach

drivers how to change their own oil and replace the filters on

their vehicles. Routine repairs are relatively easy, and many

tutorials can walk you through them step-by-step. Depending

on how much you drive, learning to do your own minor

vehicle repairs may save you hundreds of dollars per year.

• Perform routine inspections. Older vehicles may or may

not alert drivers via noises or leaks that they’re in need of

repair. Routine inspections of hoses, brakes and tires, which

should always be properly inflated, can let drivers know

if their vehicles are experiencing problems before those problems

grow and become something costly.

Vehicle maintenance costs tend to be most expensive when

drivers ignore routine maintenance or miss signs that their

cars and trucks might be struggling. By adhering to manufacturer

maintenance guidelines and paying attention to their

vehicles, drivers can reduce the cost of keeping their cars on

the road.

Grow Your Garden

With 3SquaresVT

Signs of spring are slowly, but surely appearing across the

state, which means it’s time to think about which fruits, vegetables,

and herbs to grow this season. Vermonters can buy

their seeds and seedlings that produce edible foods with

3SquaresVT. 3SquaresVT is Vermont’s name for the federal

Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), which

provides eligible people with money every month to buy groceries.

Nearly 70,000 people in Vermont are signed up for

3SquaresVT and can shop at over 600 retailers and more than

40 farmers markets across the state. In addition to typical

grocery food items, 3SquaresVT can be used to buy seeds and

seedlings. Grocers across the state carry seeds and seedlings

all season long, including City Market, Onion River Co-op in

Burlington, the Middlebury Food Co-op, and the Brattleboro

Food Coop. “We’re proud to offer people enrolled in

3SquaresVT a 15 percent discount in our Produce and Bulk

departments as well as a 10 percent discount on most products

storewide through our Food for All program. Signing up is

easy and there is no cost to join as a Food for All Member,”

said Mae Quilty, Assistant Director of Community

Engagement. “Stop by and stock up on seeds and seedlings at

both stores!”

At most farmers markets, shoppers with 3SquaresVT can

double their dollar to buy produce, seeds, and seedlings. This

dollar-match program, called Crop Cash, is operated by

NOFA-VT. For every $1 spent in 3SquaresVT benefits, shoppers

will receive an additional $1 in Crop Cash, up to $10 in

extra money for fruits, veggies, seeds and seedlings. For the

rest of the winter market season, there is a $2 match, up to

$20.

“With the rising costs of food and fuel, 3SquaresVT is

always here to support our food budgets through challenging

times,” said Ivy Enoch, Food Security Advocacy Manager at

Hunger Free Vermont. “People shopping with 3SquaresVT

keep millions of dollars every month in our local economy,

and support our local food retailers, farmers, and growers,

who create jobs and provide nourishing food to our communities.

It’s a win-win.”

1 in 10 Vermonters receive 3SquaresVT benefits, but many

Supporting Local Businesses Has Never Been More Important

Supporting Local Businesses Has Never Been More Important

Unique reasons to shop at

small businesses

The numbers don’t lie. Locally

owned businesses may be classified

as “small,” but they have a big

impact on the national economy.

According to the Bureau of Labor

Statistics’ Business Employment

Dynamics report, small businesses

created 10.5 million net new jobs

between 2000 and 2019, accounting

for 65.1 percent of net new jobs created

since 2000 in the United States.

The Government of Canada reports

that the number of small businesses

in Canada in 2020 was far greater

than the number of medium and

large businesses, accounting for

97.9 percent of all the businesses in

the country.

Supporting locally owned businesses

is a great way to support a

neighbor, but that’s not the only

attraction. Here are several reasons

to shop small.

The feel-good factor

Doing for others certainly has

an impact on the person on the

receiving end, but also benefits the

do-gooders. A November 2020

survey by Union Bank found

that 72 percent of Americans said

supporting small businesses was

more important than getting the

best deals. That may be due to the

feeling of helping out a fellow

neighbor.

Create job opportunities

Shopping at small businesses

keeps those establishments afloat,

and it also keeps their employees

afloat. Small businesses are the

largest employers in the United

States. That’s also true in Canada,

where 68.8 percent of the total labor

force works for a small business.

A person may never know when he

or she — or a relative — will need

a job. Keeping small businesses

viable provides a strong job market

for locals.

Keep more money in the community

The Small Business Administration

says $48 out of every $100

spent at a small business stays in

the community. Spend the same

$100 at a national retailer and only

$14 stays.

Enjoy a more local flavor

National retailers and other

businesses follow a global business

model that may not allow for much

customization, but small businesses

can provide products or services

that relate directly to the needs of

the communities they serve. These

same small businesses also may be

more inclined to work with local

vendors and start-ups than national

companies that have global supply

chains.

These are just a few of the many

reasons to seek out small businesses

when in need of products or

services.
