Five Vermont Food Hubs Win $300K to Help Access

and Distribute Local Farm Product

The Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food,

and Markets is pleased to announce $300,000

in sub-awards to five regional nonprofit food

hubs as part of a 2021 Northern Border Regional

Commission (NBRC) award. NBRC

is a Federal-State partnership to advance economic

development and infrastructure in economically

distressed counties across Maine,

New Hampshire, New York, and Vermont.

In Vermont, the Agency of Commerce and

Community Development (ACCD) serves as

the State-side of this partnership, identifying

those opportunities for NBRC investment that

will strengthen the local economy and quality

of life for all Vermonters.

This investment will support Vermont food

hubs with critical infrastructure needs, allowing

them to support more farm and food businesses,

expand their workforce, and advance

ongoing efforts to access larger markets.

These awards recognize the need for more

local food collection and distribution experienced

by Vermont food hub organizations

and the supply chain disruption impacts of the

COVID-19 pandemic.

What is a “food hub”? A food hub is a

business that offers local supply chain support

to collect, distribute, and market local

food products from various farms and producers.

They may sell local produce, meat,

dairy, value-added products, or baked goods

to wholesale, retail, or institutional markets,

and ensure the buyer knows where each product

came from through source-identification.

Many of Vermont’s food hubs also provide

farm to school program support, consumer

education, transparent pricing, and high-quality

customer support.

Awarded projects include:

• Food Connects in Brattleboro, VT will use

$95,764 to help build out their cold, frozen,

and dry storage capacity in their new aggregation

space. This will expand their capacity

to serve markets in Boston, New York City,

and Washington, DC, in collaboration with

Vermont Way Foods.

• Center for an Agricultural Economy in

Hardwick, VT will use $71,823 to support the

outfit of their 3,000 square foot space at the

Yellow Barn project, doubling their local

product storage capacity. This will support

expanded frozen inventory for their Just Cut

program, serving institutional markets, and

better position Farm Connex to distribute to

Boston, New York City, and other regional

markets in partnership with Vermont Way

Foods.

• ACORN in Middlebury, VT will use $60,618

to build a centralized aggregation and distribution

space for rural farms/producers to

store their products. This will allow for larger

distribution networks and retail locations to

have more streamlined access to Addison

County products year-round.

• Vermont Farmer’s Food Center in Rutland,

VT will use $37,348 to purchase a new cargo

van fit up for refrigeration to transport regional

products to their aggregation space. This

will allow them to strengthen their supply

chain logistics role along the Route 7 corridor,

allowing for regional haulers increased

access to Rutland County food products.

• Intervale Center in Burlington, VT will use

$34,447 to purchase, outfit, and install a

walk-in deep freezer that will double frozen

storage capacity at the Intervale Food Hub.

This will help maintain year-round availability

of highly desired frozen products and

allow them to pilot an expansion of direct-toconsumer

shipping of local product to statewide

and regional markets.

A priority focus of this NBRC award is to

expand Vermont producers’ access to out-ofstate

metropolitan markets and support opportunities

for farm and food producers of many

sizes to access new markets in cities like Albany,

Boston, and New York City.

This award recognizes the importance of

bolstering regional food system infrastructure.

Food hubs play a critical role in supporting

farm and food businesses of all sizes,

offering an ability to aggregate, store, distribute,

and market products from all over the

state, maintaining source identification, transparency

in pricing structures, and values-led

relationships with producers. While many

businesses rely on robust markets outside of

Vermont to sustain or grow their enterprise,

distribution bottlenecks make this difficult.

The Vermont Agriculture and Food System

Plan notes that a “lack of in-state warehousing

and cross-docking makes distribution

throughout the state less efficient” and that

“delivery to metropolitan areas is logistically

challenging,” even though these larger cities

offer significant market opportunity. NBRC

funding aligns with the Vermont Agriculture

and Food System Plan’s Priority Strategy

#7, which calls for “significant investment

in storage, processing, and distribution infrastructure

to … expand regional market access

for businesses and increase the resilience of

local supply chains.” This funding will not

only support each individual entity, but allow

for increased collaboration, shared infrastructure,

and greater efficiency between food hubs

in different parts of the state to reach beyond

Vermont’s borders.

Rise Against Hunger: A Community Effort

Organized by Mad River Valley and Waterbury Rotary Clubs - Saturday, May 21, 2022

The Mad River Valley and Waterbury Rotary

Clubs are excited to announce a Rise

Against Hunger (RAH) meal-packaging

event to be held Saturday, May 21, 2022, at

the Harwood Union Middle and High School

from 10:00 to noon. Volunteers will package

complete meals of nutritious dried foods for

shipment to hungry people around the world.

Energetic volunteers, inspired by the RAH

vision of a world without hunger, will surely

reach this year’s goal of 15,000 meals to be

packaged in two short hours. This is a truly

worthwhile volunteer-based event—and fun!

Seventy volunteers from the greater community

are needed and invited to participate

• • •

on 5/21. No special skills or physical ability

requirements are needed. Volunteers as young

as age 4 can participate. There is something

for everyone to do! Volunteer sign ups and

donations can be done online at www.MRV-

Rotary.org A total of seventy volunteers is

needed for this event.

In conjunction with the meal-packaging

event on 5/21, there is an opportunity to donate

financially to help offset the $5,292 cost

for the meal and packaging items. A donation

is not required in order to volunteer and can

be made at the volunteer sign up link.

Norwich University President Addresses Hazing Incident in Letter

By CompassVermont.com

A letter from President Mark Anarumo

to the Norwich University alumni,

students, parents and families directly

addressed recent incidences alleging

hazing. The letter is printed in its entirety

below.

To Norwich Alumni, Students, Parents

and Families:

Over the past few weeks you have

likely heard of a student misconduct

incident on the Norwich campus and resulting attention from

local law enforcement. In response to the complaint, the University

conducted both an internal conduct investigation and

an administrative investigation by a third party, while the

Northfield Police Department conducted a criminal investigation.

All three investigations have now concluded and this summary

update can be provided to our University community.

At the core of the incident is an accusation of hazing. Let me

state clearly that hazing runs contrary to the Guiding Values

of our University and is an insult to the dignity of individuals

who attend this school for its positive and transformational

experience.

Individuals or groups that participate or condone hazing

have no place in our campus community and are not welcome

here.

The investigations have indicated that the alleged victims

and perpetrators in this case acted consensually; however, the

legal statute is clear that when an individual consents or even

requests to participate in an act with friends and teammates,

the incident may still be categorized as hazing.

We took the initial accusation seriously despite early statements

implying full consent of participants and have conducted

very thorough investigations. Other accusations related to

the incident, including a claim that an intruder entered a resident’s

room through a window, and a related use of a knife,

were unsubstantiated.

After the initial report we immediately took action and have

continued to address all student misconduct. Following the alleged

incident, one student suspected of behavior inconsistent

with our values withdrew from the University. Five additional

students who were alleged to be involved were immediately

suspended from representing the University in athletic competition,

suspensions that continue to be in place.

Now that the investigations have concluded, we will begin

the process of internal actions to include University-level

sanctions and evaluation of student behavior and statements

through our established discipline and honor board processes.

Student misconduct is being addressed; however, disclosure

of further details is limited by University policies and federal

law that protect the privacy of student records.

We have also spent a significant amount of time over the

past few weeks reinforcing very clear expectations of student

conduct on our athletic teams. Each coach has spoken with

their athletes, and our new Director of Athletics met with all

teams to share his expectations and his commitment to holding

student athletes and coaches accountable for any behavior

inconsistent with our University values.

Additionally, all students arriving for the fall 2022 semester,

whether returning or new to campus, will receive training

focused on student conduct, hazing, and systems for reporting

behavior inconsistent with our University values.

Regarding the women’s rugby team specifically, since the

alleged incident occurred among a very small number of student

athletes, some of whom were not actively competing, I

personally addressed the women’s rugby team accompanied

by their coach, our incoming and outgoing Directors of Athletics,

and our Vice President of DEI, to express our support to

their team and our expectation that they engage honorably and

honestly with any investigators if questioned.

We also ensured the student athletes were fully aware of

counseling services and confirmed they knew how to access

our support systems during a time of significant stress and

negative attention.

Finally, as a result of the criminal investigation, on Friday,

April 22, six student athletes were issued tickets for “civil hazing”

by law enforcement authorities. Three of these students

received additional citations into Washington Superior Court.

Norwich University fully cooperated with the local police

department during the course of their investigation up to and

including the issuance of these citations, while preserving the

rights of our students and the integrity of the investigations.

Comments or insinuations that this was not the case do not

reflect the true nature or extent of our full cooperation.

I sincerely appreciate the patience and support of our University

community as we awaited the conclusion of all investigations

surrounding this matter. It would have been inappropriate

and detrimental to the investigations for us to comment

until all investigative activities concluded.

We now look forward to applying lessons learned from this

incident to further elevate our student experience for the development

of future leaders of character for our nation and

the world.

Norwich Together, Norwich Forever!

ATTENTION FIREFIGHTERS

Were you exposed to firefighting foam?

Firefighting foam, commonly used to fight jet fuel fires, has been widely used by the

military and fire departments since the mid 1950s. However firefighting foam contains

chemicals known as PFAS, which have been linked to illnesses like cancer.

Sokolove Law is currently investigating cases nationwide involving pancreatic, kidney,

testicular, thyroid, bladder, breast, liver, colon/colorectal and prostate cancer, as well

as leukemia and lymphoma after occupational exposure to firefighting foam.

If you or a loved one were diagnosed with cancer after exposure to firefighting foam, you

may be entitled to receive compensation.

Vermonters Are Challenged to Clean

Every Mile On Green Up Day

Green Up Day, a 52-year-old tradition that

spans generations of volunteers, continues to

impact our landscape and quality of life.

“Many residents have been contacting the

Green Up Vermont office, concerned about

the amount of trash on the roadsides this

spring, looking for Green Up Day supplies

and information, and also a solution. I can’t

tell you the number of times I have heard

‘what kind of person thinks it is okay to roll

down the window and toss their trash into the

environment,’” states executive director Kate

Alberghini. “It is indeed disappointing and

there is no good answer, other than continuing

to work year-round on a variety of initiatives

inclusive of continuing to promote the

ever-so important Green Up Day, and extend

education for waste reduction.”

Giving up on Green Up Day because litter

keeps happening would be disastrous to our

state. Beyond having an unhealthy impact on

where we live, work and play, our tourism

economy would suffer immensely.

Additionally, municipalities just don’t have

room in their budgets to include the

labor for litter clean up. To do the

math – if the 22,000 volunteers

in 2021 were paid

minimum wage for only

two hours of time (most

work far longer than

that!) it would cost

well over a half a million

dollars! So how do

we combat the problem

of litter.

“This year has been

amazing in the support

and eagerness of volunteers

getting out and

cleaning up already. There

are a few towns who have

already run out of the signature

Green Up Day bags and have

requested more,” says Alberghini. Many

schools are back and more interested than

ever to do their part. Communities are reviving

their outreach and sense of celebration

around Green Up Day with community projects,

volunteer breakfasts and pot-luck lunches.

This togetherness is fueled by two years of

social distance that never let go of the social

duty to work together in cleaning our environment.

2021 Green Up Day statistics showed trash

pickup increased by 70% or higher.

Vermonters cleaned 75% of the approximately

13,000 miles of town roads. With more

people involved this year and the heightened

concern for our trashy roadsides, we are challenging

more Vermonters, clubs, and businesses

to get out and help us Clean Every

Mile! Together we can do this and prove to

the nation that litter has no place here. Our

entire ‘Brave Little State’ can make this very

large statement which will in turn get more

people to listen and act in ways that will further

protect our environment with waste

reduction, innovative recycling efforts and

will further inspire future generations to be

influencers for a clean environment by making

simple changes to their everyday routines.

The habit of keeping the environment clean

will make a huge difference to the health of

our planet.

Vermont is a private 501(c)(3) non-profit

organization whose mission is to raise public

awareness about a litter free environment,

culminating with a statewide clean up event

called Green Up Day. Always the first

Saturday in May, Green Up Day is a statewide

initiative where volunteers from over

247 Vermont communities and local businesses

clean up litter from roadsides and

waterways. Green Up Vermont also offers an

educational component for grades K-12 with

free activity booklets and other materials and

activities that build their civic engagement

and pride for clean environments. Green Up

Vermont will celebrate its 52nd Anniversary

this May. Green Up Vermont relies on the

generous support of businesses, grants, and

individuals to fund the organization. www.

Lt. Governor Gray Joins Lawson’s

Finest Liquids and SunCommon on

Earth Day for the Ribbon Cutting of

Vermont’s Largest Solar Canopy

Lt. Governor Molly Gray joined Lawson’s Finest Liquids

CEO and Founding Brewer Sean Lawson and SunCommon

Co-Founder Duane Peterson, on Earth Day, for the official ribbon

cutting ceremony of Lawson’s Finest Liquids 495-module

solar canopy, the largest in Vermont.

The project, built throughout 2021 and 2022, is an example

of the latest investment from Lawson’s Finest Liquids in sustainable

practices. The ribbon cutting ceremony for the solar

canopy coincides with Earth Day 2022 to demonstrate support

for environmental protection and reducing greenhouse gas

emissions. The official theme for Earth Day 2022 is “Invest

in Our Planet.”

“This project is an example of exactly where we need to

be headed as a state, nation, and global community. Extreme

weather patterns and rising sea levels combined with a global

pandemic, and war in Ukraine, continue to show us how deeply

interconnected food security, economic security and climate

security have become. Projects like this are a triple win

for our resilience – strengthening our food and beverage system,

our local economy and climate jobs, and reducing carbon

emissions. Congratulations again to SunCommon, to Sean and

Karen and everyone at Lawson’s Finest Liquids. This is an incredible

project. Here’s to many solar-powered and produced

“Sips of Sunshine” and sunny days ahead to help power the

canopy and keep Vermont beautiful!” said Lt. Governor Gray.

Lawson’s first installed solar panels in 2019, an independent

wastewater management system in 2018 and they partner

with local businesses to responsibly recycle spent grain and

byproducts. Lawson’s has prioritized reducing their environmental

impact as part of their Green is Grand initiative within

their Social Impact Program (SIP).

“From the beginning we set out to be the finest, source the

best ingredients, invest in state-of-the-art equipment, brew the

best beer possible and cultivate healthy, vibrant communities.

That’s why our efforts in sustainability and striving to power

our brewery through renewable energy are so important to

us,” said Sean Lawson.

With the addition of the new solar array generating 215kW

across 495 modules, about 60 percent of the Waitsfield Brewery’s

operations will be powered by solar energy. In terms of

beer, this means around 2.4 million cans annually of Lawson’s

Finest will be produced using solar energy.

“Businesses like Lawson’s show us that it’s possible to provide

great products, grow to meaningful scale, and generate

financial success all while creating increasingly positive impact

on the communities where Vermonters live and work,”

said Duane Peterson

“This ribbon cutting truly represents so much of what

makes Vermont special – two incredible Vermont businesses,

committed to social responsibility coming together for our

community, for our climate, for our state and for our planet. It

also involves two things we enjoy as Vermonters – sunny days

and a good IPA!” said Lt. Governor Gray.

Local Schools Respond to Second

Annual Earth Day Essay Challenge

In celebration of Earth Day, Attorney General T. J. Donovan

announced the conclusion of the second annual Earth Day

Essay Challenge for Vermont’s 5th and 6th graders. The now

annual event began in 2021 with Attorney General Donovan

inviting students to submit essays on the environment and

Earth Day. This year’s essay challenge began in February and

ran through April 8. In response, the Attorney General’s Office

received 190 essays from students all over Vermont, more than

three times the response the first event generated last spring.

“I’m blown away by the response we received from this

year’s Earth Day Essay Challenge,” said Attorney General

Donovan. “To receive more than three times as many essays

as we did last year really shows us the enthusiasm that young

Vermonters have for Vermont’s environment and Earth Day.

It is our privilege to hear from Vermont’s future environmental

leaders, many of whom are already taking action to

help protect our environment and planet. I want to say this

to each student who submitted an essay for us to read: Thank

you, and we hear you. I encourage everyone to take a minute

today and read some of these students’ essays as a way to

celebrate Earth Day.”

The essays submitted to the Attorney General’s Office as a

part of the Earth Day Essay Challenge are posted on the Office’s

website for the public to enjoy. To read the students’

essays, please visit: https://ago.vermont.gov/2022-attorneygenerals-earth-day-essay-challenge-student-essays/.

Members

of the Attorney General’s Environmental Protection Division

provided individual feedback to each student who submitted

an essay.

The following elementary schools participated in this year’s

essay challenge:

• Berkshire Elementary School, 5th Grade

• B.F.A. Fairfax, 5th Grade

• Brighton Elementary School, 5th Grade

• Brownington Central School, 5th and 6th Grade

• Calais Elementary School, 6th Grade

Legislators Condemn

Anti-LGBTQ+ Violence

They came when they heard the news – clients, staff members,

and tenants from nearby offices – to sweep up glass

shards after cement rocks shattered the Pride Center’s doors

on Tuesday, April 26. They gathered in the wake of hatred to

affirm resilience and community.

This has become a kind of ritual, as violence and vandalism

have been a consistent reality for Vermonters who identify as

LGBTQ+. In three separate incidents in 2007, RU12? Community

Center windows were shattered and “Burn in Hell”

scrawled on its walls. In the winter of 2019, the very same

doors to the Pride Center were plastered with alt-right propaganda

and Outright office signs were defaced by an emblem of

white supremacy, transphobia, and homophobia. This month

alone: anti-trans stickers have been posted throughout Burlington’s

Old North End; state legislators that have supported

the rights of transgender youth were targeted via social media

posts and dubbed “groomers” by GOP leaders; and Fern Feather,

a young trans woman, was murdered in what is now being

discussed as a case of the ‘LGBTQ Panic Defense’.

We are a state that has proudly pioneered and championed

legislation to protect and affirm the rights of LGBTQ+ Vermonters.

And yet we are also a state in which many of our community

members continue to feel unsafe – at home, at school,

at work, and in public and private spaces throughout Vermont.

For good reason.

State statistics on violence against LGBTQ+ are limited, but

national numbers are alarming.

The National Sexual Violence Resource Center reports that:

• LGBTQ+ people are still four times more likely to experience

violence in their life than their straight counterparts.

• FBI data from 2019 illustrate a rise in anti-LGBTQ+ hate

crimes.

• A record-breaking number of murders against trans people

occurred in 2021 — the majority of whom were women of

color. The risk of sexual violence is also increased for trans

people; 50 percent of transgender people have been sexually

assaulted at least once in their lives.

• Seventy percent of LGBTQ+ members of the community

have been sexually harassed at work, and 66 percent were

afraid to tell their employer for fear of being outed.

Members of the Burlington and Winooski legislative delegations

as well as members of the General Assembly’s Rainbow

Caucus condemn the violence and hatred that continue to threaten

LGBTQ+ Vermonters. We stand in solidarity with the organizations

that persist in spite of it. We stand with the community

members they serve and defend. Yet that is not enough.

We must actively acknowledge the gap between the ideals

that launched legislative breakthroughs like civil unions and

marriage equality and the lived experiences of our fellow LG-

BTQ+ Vermonters.

What we allow is what will continue. All of us – political

and community leaders, teachers, parents, and advocates –

must call out hate speech wherever it crops up. We must create

more intentional, safe, and welcoming spaces in our communities.

And we must fight for policies that protect our most vulnerable

Vermonters.

Vermont’s Regional Development

Corporations Announce Support for

Prioritizing Childcare Investment

The Regional Development Corporations of Vermont

(RDCs of VT) announced their collective support for prioritizing

investment in an early childhood care and education

system that meets the needs of all Vermonters.

The twelve Regional Development Corporations of Vermont

are private, non-profit organizations that are key players

in driving economic growth in our state. Through their work

in each region, the RDCs improve the economy, the standard

of living, and the quality of life for Vermonters. The RDCs of

VT represent thousands of businesses of every size, and from

all sectors and backgrounds.

“As business leaders, community members, and Vermonters,

we believe addressing the challenge of early childhood

care and education cannot continue to wait,” said Fred Kenney,

President of the RDCs of Vermont. “We urge all Vermonters

to recognize that publicly funded early childcare is the

highest priority investment we can make to ensure a brighter

future for our children and our business community.”

To be effective, the goals of early childcare must address

the needs of Vermont’s children from birth to kindergarten,

must include universal and affordable childcare, and be available

to all children in Vermont, without financial barriers. A

publicly funded program of quality care that sets standards

and ensures that childcare providers are experts trained in

early education and are compensated as professionals, must

be funded. We recognize that programs to achieve these goals

will require a significant investment.

For the RDCs of Vermont, prioritization of early childhood

care and education as a primary public investment also means

that public revenue sources must be transparent, equitable,

competitive, and sustainable. All Vermonters must share the

burden. We also believe that a truly impactful system must

use data that is accountable to the outcomes produced. Our

support stems from the belief that these goals can be achieved

while ensuring every Vermont child has access to the care they

need.

“The connection between access to high-quality, affordable

childcare and the health of our economy has never been

clearer,” stated Erika Hoffman-Kiess, Executive Director of

the Green Mountain Economic Development Corp. “Without

a strong and stable childcare system to support the development

of the workforce, our economy cannot recover or grow.”

• • •

Lt. Governor’s Statement in Support

of Let’s Grow Kids and the Vermont

Business Roundtable’s Call for

Public Investment in Child Care

Lt. Governor Molly Gray released the following statement

in support of Let’s Grow Kids and the Vermont Business

Roundtable’s call for public investment in child care:

“I’m pleased to stand with business leaders, the Vermont

Business Roundtable, and Let’s Grow Kids in support of their

call for public investment in an affordable, quality, universal

child care program. Access to child care and our workforce

crisis are intrinsically linked. Vermont businesses know access

to child care is not only important in recruiting and retaining

employees but also vital to our overall economic viability.

Across Vermont, we must make child care a reality for working

families.

Hundreds of Vermont women and caregivers were forced

to leave the workforce during the COVID-19 pandemic, contributing

to nationwide trends. Nationally, 80 percent of those We Get

who left the workforce during the pandemic were women and

many Vermont parents still cannot join the full-time workforce

because they can’t find child care.

I applaud Let’s Grow Kids for their years of leadership advocating

on behalf of children and families and to our socially

responsible Vermont businesses who serve as critical leaders

and partners in this effort.”

Murder in Plain Sight? An Abenaki/Settler Mystery on

the Vermont Frontier

Monday, May 23, 2022 7 PM In-Person & Zoom

Calling all genealogists, local historians, and amateur

detectives! This program will examine an unsolved story of

murder from Central Vermont. Local history briefly records

that in 1790, the original American settler to the Montpelier

area, Jacob Fowler, killed an unnamed “Indian” in a dispute

over a trapline. We will reconstruct the biographies of the two

participants through historical documents, genealogical work,

and the fiction of local historian D.P. Thompson and explore

the bigger questions of this formative time in Vermont history.

Audience participation and expertise is encouraged.

Damian Costello received his PhD in theological studies

from the University of Dayton and specializes in the intersection

of Indigenous spiritual traditions, Catholic theology, and

colonial history. He is an international expert on the life and

legacy of Nicholas Black Elk and the author of Black Elk:

Colonialism and Lakota Catholicism. Costello is a speaker for

the Vermont and New Hampshire Humanities Councils and

serves as the Director of Postgraduate Studies at NAIITS: An

Indigenous Learning Community, an Indigenous designed

and delivered ATS accredited theological graduate school.

Upcoming Clean Water Lectures with Vermont Department of

Environmental Conservation

The Department of Environmental Conservation hosts a

monthly Clean Water Lecture Series aimed at raising awareness

on the state’s efforts to improve water quality for Vermont’s

rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, and wetlands. The series

continues into April and May, with three new talks covering

efforts to reduce water pollution stemming from forest lands

and roads, as well as efforts to restore and protect wetlands.

Learn more and register for these virtual talks on the Department’s

Clean Water Lecture Series webpage.

Join UVM Professor of Geology and Forestry Beverley

Wemple on May 12th, 2022, for the lecture “Opportunities

for Climate Resiliency on Vermont’s Rural Roads.” Professor

Wemple will summarize over ten years of research on the impact

of Vermont’s rural roads on water quality, and the success

of erosion control measures. Professor Wemple will present

opportunities to improve water health through rural road improvements

while building resilience to flooding. Her insights

and findings have important implications for implementing

recommendations in the Vermont Climate Action Plan.

Over 4% of Vermont’s land base is wetland. There is a good

chance that there is one or more in your community. Wetlands

provide many benefits to water health and ecosystem function

by improving flood resiliency, providing habitat, slowing, and

filtering water, and maintaining healthy shorelines. Improving

your knowledge about local wetlands can help you better understand

what actions to take to maintain and enhance wetland

functions and benefits

On May 26th, 2022, hear Wetland Program Manager Laura

Lapierre’s presentation “How are Vermont’s Wetlands Doing

and How Can I Support Them?” This lecture will focus on

wetland losses and gains in Vermont, measures in place to protect

wetlands, and ways the public can help support wetlands.

Register for these free online events at: https://dec.vermont.

gov/water-investment/cwi/outreach/lecture-series. All lectures

are recorded and uploaded to DEC’s YouTube Channel,

What do these two buildings have in common? One in Northfield and one in Williamstown. Clue: Both named Ainsworth

By Louisa Tripp

Williamstown Ainsworth Library.

Norwich University Ainsworth Infirmary.

Ainsworth Hall of Social

Sciences. What do a library and an infirmary

12 miles apart have in common?

The building with the widows walk on

the Norwich University Campus can be seen

from Route 12. Wait, not a widows walk, but

a weather station! When the building was

originally built in 1910 it stood alone there

on the hill long before Webb Hall was built.

In 1910 it was named the “US Weather Bureau,

Northfield Station,” from which official

weather data was reported to the federal government

to be used in weather forecasting.

During the time of construction, Dr. Spooner

was the president of Norwich University

when the university grew from 104 to 185

cadets and faculty increased from 7 to 17.

During Dr. Spooner’s presidency a new infirmary

was brought to campus in 1915 through

the efforts of Mrs. Laura Ainsworth, widow

of Captain James E. Ainsworth (NU 1853).

When the US Weather Bureau, Northfield Station

and land under it was returned to the university

in 1948, the building served as the administrative

headquarters of the campus. By

1955, growth of the university forced the relocation

of the administration back up the hill

to Dewey Hall (no, not yet Jackman). Also, in

1955, construction began on Webb Hall to the

immediate west of the weather building and

the infirmary was moved to the now empty

building. It is fitting that Dr. Spooner spoke at

the 1955 dedication when the building was renamed

to the “Laura L. Ainsworth Infirmary.”

What’s the connection to Williamstown?

you might ask. Well, Laura Ainsworth was

born in Williamstown and she and James retired

to Williamstown. And, in addition to

supporting Northfield and Norwich University,

Mrs. Ainsworth was instrumental in establishing

the public library in Williamstown by

donating Howe House in which the library is

ensconced as well as donating financial support

to the new library. Owned by Mrs. Ainsworth,

the brick building was originally built

as a private home in 1833 by Enoch Howe, a

blacksmith and prominent citizen. History is

never isolated to one town, one people or one

date. We are all connected by the actions of

others over time.

Society with a “household membership”

of $25 annually. Visit https://nhsvt.org for

Join the Green Mountain United Way in

Celebrating Foster Families Throughout May

Join us in celebrating our local Barre and

St. Johnsbury area foster parents during May

– also known as National Foster Parent Appreciation

Month – with a shower of gift cards

from area stores, restaurants, and gas stations.

Green Mountain United Way through Tatum’s

Totes, brings backpacks full of much

needed supplies to area foster children. During

May, we would like to show those folks

who spend their days and nights caring for

foster children, often in traumatic and urgent

cases, that their community cares about them

and recognizes their effort.

Every time a foster parent takes in a child,

they give of themselves, their home, and their

community.

Let’s give a little something back.

Statement By the Coalition for Vermont Student

Equity Board of Directors On the Vermont House of

Representatives Passing S.287

The Coalition for Vermont Student Equity

issued the following statement in response to

the House passing S.287, the equitable education

funding bill, on a 132-11 vote:

“We are thrilled to see more progress being

made today toward getting this critical piece

of legislation across the finish line this year.

For 25 years, low-income, rural districts,

small schools, and English language learners

have been underfunded in Vermont. An entire

generation of learners and their communities

have been harmed by this inequity. Today,

with the passage of S.287 by the House, we

are much closer to righting this wrong.

Diane Mae Paulger

BARRE-Diane Mae Paulger was born on

October 7th, 1949 at the Barre Hospital in

Barre, Vermont to her parents, Viola

(Ladd) Gray and Lynn Copeland Sr. Diane

passed on April 18th, 2022 in the

comfort of her home surrounded by her

family and friends.

Diane was the oldest of five siblings.

As a child, she spent a considerable

amount of time with her grandparents

Inez (Potter) and Walter Copeland in Plainfield, Vermont but

lived and grew up in Barre. Diane raised five children of her

own and went to cosmetology school later in life to become

a hairdresser. Diane then spent the next 45 years as a hairdresser,

for which she developed a very positive reputation.

Diane made many people feel beautiful and important while

they sat in her chair.

Diane was predeceased by her parents, Viola Gray and Lynn

Copeland Sr., her step-father Henry Gray, her daughter-in-law

Kim (Drew) Douse, her step-brother Joe Gray and her stepsister

Cynthia Buchanan.

Diane is survived by her aunts Beatrice Sainz and Claire

Ladd; her siblings, Lynn “Butch” Copeland Jr. and his wife

Darlene Copeland, Donna Copeland, John and his wife Sue

Copeland, and David and his wife Marylyn Copeland; her

step-siblings Teresa (Gray) Lusk, Larry Gray and his wife

Beverly, Cheryl Gray, and Kelly Welborn and her husband

Leo; her children, Renée Orvis and her fiancé Dana Nichols,

Jason Douse, Jeremy Douse and his wife Dianna Leinberger,

Amanda Guazzoni, and Lucas Paulger and his wife Helga-Gabriela

Paulger; her grandchildren, Sophronia Rochford and her

husband William Rochford III, Henry Orvis, Ella and Noah

Douse, Kaitlyn Douse, Cora Guazzoni and Everett Partlow,

and Ezra Paulger; and her great-grandchildren, Skylar Rochford

and William Rochford IV. Diane is additionally survived

by numerous cousins, nieces, nephews, and great-nieces and

great-nephews.

Diane enjoyed life by cooking meals, kayaking, painting

and dancing. Diane was a monumental part of the community.

Not only was she warm like the tea she always served, but she

was an unstoppable storm when she wanted to initiate change

or needed to motivate anyone around her. She had a smile and

a hug for anyone who needed it. She was sweet like the candy

she kept in her coat pockets. She will be loved always and

missed by all who knew her.

There will be no funeral service, but a celebration of life will

be announced at a later date. Donations in Diane’s memory can

be donated to the Pancreatic Cancer Action Network at pancan.org;

to the Kim Douse scholarship fund by making checks

out to BEA and mailing to SHS 155 Ayers St., Barre VT 05641

care of Heather Stalling; or Central Vermont Home Health and

Hospice at cvhhh.org.

the son of Ernest A. and Gloria A. Biron. Anthony

was a 1983 graduate of U-32 High School.

He was the king of one-liners and dad jokes,

quick witted and humorous. He could always put a smile on

your face. On Oct. 1, 1988, Anthony married Pamela D. Copping,

at St. Augustine’s Parish in Montpelier, Vermont. Anthony

leaves behind his wife and best friend of 34 years, his

FEMA Awards Vermont More Than $2 Million for

COVID Response Costs

The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be sending

more than $2 million to the State of Vermont to reimburse

the costs of responding to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The $2,025,369 Public Assistance grant will go to the

Vermont Agency of Human Services for contracting with

security and consultation providers between March 2020 and

December 2021.

Those contracts were to provide security services at noncongregate

sheltering locations and subject matter expertise

and liaisons to the Vermont Department of Health (VDH),

Department of Public Safety (DPS), Vermont Emergency

Management (VEM) and other critical federal, state and local

emergency response partners in the state’s development and

implementation of COVID-19 emergency response plans.

Vermont Recieves Nearly $1.5 Million for COVID

Emergency Meals Program from FEMA

The Federal Emergency Management Agency will be sending

nearly $1.5 million to the State of Vermont to reimburse

the costs of providing emergency meals for residents in need

during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The $1,473,362 Public Assistance grant will go to the Agency

of Commerce and Community Development for providing

meal preparation and delivery service to high-risk populations

under the state’s emergency feeding program “Vermont Everyone

Eats” between January and February 2022.

During that time the agency entered into an agreement with

Southeastern Vermont Community Action, Inc. (SEVCA),

which established and coordinated with state-wide subcontractors

(Hubs) that oversaw restaurant engagement, production,

and distribution of 117,869 meals to Vermonters experiencing

food insecurity.

The program launched in August 2020 with $5 million from

the state’s Coronavirus Relief Fund and has continued with

Sanders Stands in Solidarity with UVM Medical Center

Workers Fighting to Unionize

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) this week sent a letter to

interns, residents and fellows of the University of Vermont

Medical Center (UVMMC) in support of their efforts to form

a union. Sanders recently met with UVMMC residents who

shared with him how organizing a union would lead not only

to decent wages and better working conditions, but also to

improved care for their patients.

“Many Vermonters understand, as patients, that our health

care system is broken in many ways,” wrote Sanders in the

letter of support. “But what they might not see is that the

system is broken for residents as well … Patients want and

deserve physicians who treat them to be rested, not unduly

stressed and adequately compensated for their difficult and

vitally important work. That really is not too much to ask.”

Sanders continued, “Interns, residents and fellows should

not have to work 80 hours a week because the old system of

medicine allowed for it. They should not have to give up

everything in their lives, take no days off, hold off on having

children, and take on debilitating debt – all to be good doctors.

They should not be forced to live on salaries that are so

Lori Ehrlich. “Providing resources for our partners on the

front lines of the pandemic fight is critical to their success,

and our success as a nation.”

FEMA’s Public Assistance program is an essential source

of funding for states and communities recovering from a federally

declared disaster or emergency. So far, FEMA has provided

more than $344 million in grants to Vermont to reimburse

the state for pandemic-related expenses.

“FEMA is pleased to support Vermont’s innovative approach

to assisting its most vulnerable populations,” said

FEMA Region I Regional Administrator Lori Ehrlich. “By

involving the private sector in the preparation and distribution

of meals, both those faced with food insecurity and those who

work at restaurants are helped.”

housing and child care. We can do better than that and your

advocacy and your persistence is what will inevitably change

our system.”

With the third year of the Coronavirus pandemic and the

specter of a new sub-variant, health care workers continue to

risk their lives to keep communities healthy and safe. Today,

more than 330 residents work at UVMMC, making up the

majority of the physician workforce caring for patients at the

facility. Together with their nurse colleagues, who first

formed a union in 2002, these organized health care providers

will be better positioned to negotiate for policies that prioritize

patient care over executives’ salaries.

“There is no one that I would trust more to advocate for our

health care system in Vermont than the frontline health care

workers who risked their lives to care for us during the

COVID-19 pandemic,” Sanders wrote. “Your efforts to unionize

will only ensure we are better prepared for the next years

of recovery and for the quality health care that all Vermonters

deserve.”

Vermont Legislature and Governor Scott Enact Senate Bill 74

Governor Scott signed Vermont Senate Bill 74. Patient

Choices Vermont and Compassion & Choices extend gratitude

to the Vermont Legislature and Governor Scott for enactment

of this bill which updates and improves the state’s

Patient Choice at End of Life Law, Act 39. The bill passed

with strong bi-partisan support.

Act 39, adopted in May 2013, enables terminally ill

Vermonters who are capable of making their own medical

decisions the option to request and receive medication that

they can use to bring about a peaceful death if and when they

so choose.

With the passage of Senate Bill 74, a patient can now make

the required requests for medical aid in dying by video telemedicine

when their doctor determines that this approach is

appropriate. The bill also eliminates the additional 48-hour

delay at the end of the process before a patient can receive the

prescription and corrects what was a technical deficiency in

the immunity clause of Act 39.

It was the voices of people like who had struggled through

“My daughter, Karen Oelschlaeger would be pleased to

know that by speaking about her experience with medical aid

in dying she had a positive influence that will benefit future

patients. Thank you to the Vermont legislature for passing

S.74,” said Linda Oelschlaeger.

“These updates to the law are consistent with other medical

aid-in-dying laws across the country and will help ensure

access for those who want to consider it,” said Kim Callinan,

President and CEO of Compassion & Choices.

“We look forward to updating medical and hospice providers

about the changes in the law, which we expect to make for

a smoother, less stressful process,” said Betsy Walkerman,

President of Patient Choices Vermont. “On behalf of

Dear VT World,

Vermont has one of the highest rates of reported Lyme disease

cases in the country. According to the CDC and VT lyme.

org, the Lyme disease incidence rate in Vermont was 170.5

cases per 100,000 people in 2019 with the threshold for

endemic status set at 10 cases per 100,000 people. Larval

ticks, which are always born uninfected, become infected after

feeding on rodent species like white-footed mice and chipmunks,

natural reservoirs for Lyme disease bacteria. That

infected tick may then go on to transmit Lyme disease to

people. Luckily, Vermont has an unsung hero of disease control

in the red fox! These animals should be revered for the

ecological services they provide, but sadly, they’re too often

treated like vermin and enjoy few protections.

Expanding evidence suggests that increases in tick-borne

illnesses may stem from a lack of traditional predators of mice

and other rodents. And the interesting part is that not only do

predators like foxes prey on mice, their mere presence causes

mice to scurry into their burrows and be less likely to infect

ticks. According to Dr. Tom Hofmeester’s study that focused

on red fox and the role they play in mitigating the spread of

Lyme disease, “the predators appear to break the cycle of

infection.”

We value foxes for eating rodents, but too often they get a

bad reputation when it comes to preying on some other animals,

specifically chickens. Like all animals, foxes are interested

in an easy meal, especially during this time of year when

they’re tending to their young. It’s up to us humans to secure

chicken coops with electric fencing and other protective measures.

Too many people are quick to kill foxes without

addressing the root problem. Killing foxes may result in leaving

young kits to starve in the den. Each year volunteer wild-

To My Fellow Vermonters,

For the last seventeen years I have worked as a fuel oil and

propane delivery driver serving the residents of Vermont. I

am just one of the many drivers and employees in the home

heat industry working to make sure you and your loved ones

stay warm during the long, dark and cold Vermont winters.

Without exception, every one of the drivers, technicians,

customer service representatives, dispatchers and managers

are laser focused on the goal of giving the best possible service

at the best price.

Those of us in the front lines of this industry are all hard

working Vermonters. We are not immune to the struggles of

the people we serve. Fuel prices this year have gone through

the roof and so have the prices of everything else. Even when

prices were much lower it was not easy for many of us to

make ends meet while paying to stay warm.

This year, even with the doubling of government fuel assistance

the challenge has been more difficult. While on my

daily route I listen carefully to the pain of low and middle

income Vermonters who have had no choice but to go cold

and hope for Spring to come early. You cannot help but feel

By G. E. Shuman

Around my house I am the one who

takes out the garbage. It has just

always been that way. At one time

I tried to get that to be one of my kids’ jobs, but somehow it

never got done on time or when it got full, or something else

happened that made me give up on the kids’ chore idea. Ever

since then, I have just done the trash when it needs to be done.

Some time ago, (I guess everything happened ‘some’ time

ago. In this case it was about four years ago,) I found myself

with the pleasant job, (sarcasm) of having to paw through one

of those big black bags of trash after I had already put it in the

outdoor can. Today I would like to ‘recycle’ that article for

you.

I don’t remember the reason I was there under the carport

with my head nearly in that bag, but there I was. One of us had

evidently lost something… car keys, I think, and ‘someone’

had to look for them. For some reason, at our house, when

some really gross job must be done, that is always mine to do

too. (Think toilet plunging.) Go figure.

As I said, for whatever reason, and for whatever I was looking

for, there I was, with my elbow-length rubber gloves,

carefully removing the trash from that bag in the can, piece by

piece, and placing it into the open end of another one. As I did

so I became increasingly disgusted, and nauseated, and I

remember this part well … I never found whatever it was that

I was supposed to find. Go figure, again.

Later that day, after I had somewhat recovered from my

experience with the trash, I began to think a bit differently

about that awful experience. Some of the items I witnessed

were still fresh in my mind, (and nostrils,) if the word fresh

can be used in this story. Other things were remembered, but

a bit differently.

life rehabbers in Vermont take in orphaned fox kits after their

parents were killed by humans.

Rather than killing every fox who is simply trying to survive,

we humans should take the time to learn how we can

coexist with these inherently harmless creatures that offer free

rodent control. Rats, for example, can cause tremendous problems

for those who keep chickens. Without the free rodent

control that foxes offer, some people may choose to use

rodenticide, which not only kills mice, but kills all of those

animals, including protected species like owls, who feed on

the deceased rodents. Foxes, bobcats and other wildlife also

suffer from rodenticide poisoning. The best rodent control is

to let nature do its job, since foxes eat hundreds of mice, as

cited in Red Fox Diet-What Foxes Eat from Robin Page’s A

Fox’s Tale.

Another threat to foxes are dogs that are allowed off-leash,

including bear hunting hounds, placing both adult foxes and

their young at risk. There’s also a trapping season where foxes

are lured to baited leghold traps, often resulting in their limbs

being painfully crushed between the jaws of a trap.

It is crucial that we learn to coexist with foxes and other

predator species as they may be impacting our health for the

better without us even realizing it. For tips on how to prevent

conflicts with foxes, check out Got Chickens? Got predators.

No problem!

“The takeaway is, we shouldn’t underestimate the role

predators can play in reducing Lyme disease risk.” - Richard

S. Ostfeld, senior scientist at the Cary Institute of Ecosystem

Studies

the anguish of your neighbors. I understand it. Everyone in

the industry understands it. The dominant political party in

Montpelier does not understand it. They are callous to the

struggle of their constituents.

The evidence of this rude disconnect is a thirty minute

recorded discussion on the morning of April 15th between

four of Vermont’s Democratic state senators in the committee

on natural resources and energy. The conversation is revealing

and just plain disgusting for those of us being pinched in these

hard economic times. They can be found at this link. https://

Chris Bray (D-Addison) were discussing the implementation

of the “clean heat standard legislation.” The worst comments

what the charge is going to be. Embezzlement, scam, securities

Kitchen Trash

-A Newly Recycled Column-

You see, in that trash was the envelope from a wonderful

card my granddaughter Sofi had given to us just days before,

for our anniversary. That beautiful young girl is such a treasure

to us, as are all our grandkids. There were also several

empty and discarded toddler food containers from the last

time we had fed another beautiful granddaughter, the then

two-year-old Nahla. She loved having lunch with Grammy

and Papa. I am thankful that she still does. I had to move

many merchandise bags from recent trips to Walmart,

Hannaford’s, and T J Max, along with others. (Back then

people threw bags away. Silly people.) Evidently, in the time

that particular smelly trash bag was in our kitchen wastebasket,

we had been able to make a lot of purchases at those

stores.

There in the trash was a broken toy. (It was always fun to

watch Nahla play, but she tended to be a bit rough on her toys

back then.) There were a few empty medicine bottles; We had

received new ones. What would we do without those prescriptions?

There was also a wrapper from a new shirt I had purchased,

and several candy and cookie bags. I also recall seeing

a soft drink-soaked coloring book picture that one of the

grandkids and their grandmother had done together when they

were visiting around the dining room table. Of course, there

were lots of slimy food scraps and gross coffee grounds in the

mix. Evidently, we had food, and plenty of it, including my

morning coffee.

Even in recent challenging times, we in our country have

much to be truly thankful for, just as I did four years ago when

I first wrote this column. As strange as this may seem, counting

our blessings may be as simple as counting our bags of

trash. If you are the one at your house who always takes them

out to the can, be thankful that you have them to take.

“April Showers Bring May Flowers”

By Deb Paul

As April comes to an end, and we all have our boots,

umbrellas, and ponchos out for the rainy days, lets not forget

to take out our vases for all May flowers.

The age-old saying “April Showers Bring May Flowers”,

still holds true today, but where did this saying originate?

The saying originated from a poem way back in 1157, written

by Thomas Tusser. The poem saying: “Sweet April showers

do spring May flowers”.

If we travel back in time a bit further to the end of the

Fourteenth Century, where legendary poem Geoffrey Chaucer

had his own say on the month of April in his famous collection

of stories titled, “The Canterbury Tales.” Chaucer’s version

goes as follows Translation: “When in April the sweet

showers fall That pierce March’s drought to the root and all

And bathed every vein in liquor that has power To generate

therein and sire the flower”. Although it could be said Thomas

Tusser may be the father of this saying, Geoffrey Chaucer is

certainly the creator.

This could have came about to get us out of the depression

that looms from a long hard winter and the dreary, rainy

months of early spring and encourage us to look forward to

the month of May and much better weather.

When writing this I kept thinking about other sayings like:

weeping endures for a night, but joy comes in the morning;

there is a silver lining after each dark cloud; and this too shall

Weekend” is that Don does not confront any

plot twists or contrived obstacles. His life is

really fantastic: he’s young, good-looking, and

he has people who love him. But Don doesn’t

appreciate any of it.

One of the saddest things about addiction is that

you don’t enjoy the special moments of your life;

you just wait for them to pass. There’s a terrific

scene where Don goes to the opera. He has a bottle of rye in

his jacket in the coat check room.

The opera is beautiful, but Don just wants the painful minutes

to tick by faster. We see him sweating in his seat.

Eventually, all the actors on stage transform into Don’s jacket

because that bottle of booze is all that matters to him.

Director Billy Wilder did his research because the movie

shows us the embarrassing situations that junkies get themselves

into when they are by themselves.

like that. I don’t want to be paying extra.’” Senator McDonald

says “Well then, get a blanket for Christ’s sake!”

are elected to serve. A little over fifteen years ago I figured out

pass.

The reality of death producing new life parallels with

spring, the thought of sunshine following a season of gloom

and sadness. Bringing us back to the saying, April showers

bringing May flowers

All of this aligns with what is going on now. It is a reminder

that even the most unpleasant of things, in this case the

virus of 2020, will pass and we can expect very enjoyable

things indeed in the near future light at the end of the tunnel,

the end of a rainbow all apply -- even an abundance of flowers

in May. “April showers bring May flowers” is also a lesson in

patience, and one that remains valid to this day.

Many of life’s greatest things come only to those who wait,

patiently and happily enduring the new way of doing things.

Take in the sights and smells of May and the rebirth of life.

After all, it’s easier to love something if you begin with an

optimistic outlook.

Have you had a season of setbacks, disappointments or

hindrances? Do not be dismayed. Remember these things:

there has never been a wind that did not change directions,

clouds do not hang forever and April showers bring May

flowers.

My point being after all this, we will come out better prepared

and stronger for it. Sometimes you have to go though

something truly hard to understand what is important and we

will be better for it

There’s a scene where Don has two bottles

of whiskey. While he is polishing off one of

them, he hides the other in the apartment

where his brother won’t find it.

Tomorrow, in the sober light of day, he

can’t remember where he put the second

bottle. So he frantically ransacks his own

place searching for that precious booze.

I’ve done that. You’d think that the

shame of putting yourself into such a

ridiculous situation would scare you

straight. But it doesn’t.

At the heart of “The Lost Weekend”

is the saddest reality of life as a junkie:

the only thing you really want is to be

completely alone with your drugs.

Your loved ones are nothing but

annoying impediments; you can’t

wait for them to leave.

The entire plot of the movie is that Don’s brother is

going away for a long weekend. Don has exactly two goals.

One, remain drunk every waking hour. And two, avoid his

worried girlfriend by any means necessary.

Eventually, I kicked my additions. It was simple: I couldn’t

find any more drugs. After a little while, I stopped thinking

about them. Horrifyingly, this easy way out can never happen

for an alcoholic. Booze is everywhere.

To any alcoholics reading this, I have no advice for you. All

I have is empathy. At least there is one perfect film about your

predicament.

ARIES (March 21 to April

19) The often-skeptical

Aries might find that an

answer to a question is

hard to believe. But check

it out before you chuck it

out. You might well be surprised at what you could learn.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your resolute determination

to stick by a position might make some people uncomfortable.

But if you’re proved right (as I expect you to be),

a lot of changes will tilt in your favor.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) You might feel conflicted

between what you want to do and what you should do. Best

advice: Honor your obligations first. Then go ahead and

enjoy your well-earned rewards.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) That financial matter still

needs to be sorted out before you can consider any major

monetary moves. Pressures ease midweek, with news

about a potential career change.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A workplace problem threatens

to derail your well-planned project. But your quick

mind should lead you to a solution and get you back on

track without too much delay.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) An opportunity

opens up but could quickly close down if you allow pessimism

to override enthusiasm. A trusted friend can offer

the encouragement you need.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You’ve come

through a difficult period of helping others deal with their

problems. Now you can concentrate on putting your energy

to work on your own projects.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Forget about

who’s to blame and, instead, make the first move toward

patching up a misunderstanding before it creates a rift that

you’ll never be able to cross.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Good

news for the travel-loving Sagittarian who enjoys galloping

off to new places: That trip you had to put off will soon

be back on your schedule.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) A mood

change could make the gregarious Goat seek the company

of just a few friends. But you charge back into the crowd

for weekend fun and games.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A decision you

made in good faith could come under fire. Best advice:

Open your mind to other possibilities by listening to your

challenger’s point of view.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) You can avoid being

swamped by all those tasks dangling from your line this

week by tackling them one by one, according to priority.

The weekend brings good news.

BORN THIS WEEK: You have a fine business sense and a

love of the arts. You enjoy living life to its fullest.

Moms need timeouts, too

While time-outs may be torturous for young

children eager to get up and go, alone time

may sound like paradise to busy mothers.

It can be helpful for parents to schedule daily timeouts,

though breaks a few times per week can do the trick as

well.

Timeouts can benefit moms who need a break during

or after a long day. Such breaks can be restful and reenergizing.

Any woman can benefit from a time-out, but working

mothers juggling careers and home life may be especially

in need of scheduled breaks.

Women who want to incorporate more breaks into their

daily routines should know that it’s possible to do so,

even on the most hectic days.

• You don’t need much time. A break doesn’t need to

be extensive to be effective. Schedule around 30 minutes

for the timeout. That’s just enough time to watch a

sitcom, read a chapter in a book or enjoy a nice, steamy

bath.

• Choose a kid-free time of day. If possible, select a

timeout period when the kids are away from home or you

can be guaranteed some alone time. If this is not possible,

make an arrangement with your spouse to look after the

kids while you get some alone time.

• Find an enjoyable activity. Select an activity for

the timeout that you may not have the opportunity to

enjoy when other people or tasks require your attention.

Listening to music, taking an exercise class, writing in a

journal, engaging in artwork or other crafts, or reading a

book make for great timeout activities. A timeout is not

the time to catch up on chores.

• Treat yourself on occasion. Build an extra treat into

the time-out, such as a bite of a favorite dessert or purchasing

a clothing accessory or a luxurious body butter.

This can make the timeout even more enjoyable.

Timeouts can be utilized by women who feel they need

opportunities to unwind and put themselves first for a

short time.

MOTHER’S DAY | MAY 8, 2022

Creative Mother’s Day

Celebration and Gift Ideas

On Sunday, May 9, 2021, millions of people will celebrate the special

women in their lives, particularly the mothers, grandmothers and

stepmothers who often tirelessly care for those they love.

Created by Anna Jarvis in the early 20th century and designated

an official United States holiday in 1914, Mother’s

Day is a special day in many families. Apart from birthdays,

primary female caregivers may not always get the recognition

they deserve, nor be entitled to a day to kick back and

relax and let others take the helm. Mother’s Day entitles

them to something special.

Even though the way people have been living has changed

during the COVID-19 pandemic, Mother’s Day may be

the first holiday on the calendar when the world can finally

regain some sense of normalcy. But caution should still

prevail during Mother’s Day celebrations. Thankfully, there

are plenty of creative ways to celebrate mothers and mother

figures this year.

• Dine truly “al fresco.” Outdoor dining has become commonplace,

and even before it was a safety measure, enjoying

a meal on a sun-soaked patio or overlooking a body of water

was popular. If you’re worried about limited restaurant space

or crowds, plan a picnic at a scenic location, such as a botanical

garden or county park. Include Mom’s favorite foods and

enjoy the fresh air and delicious foods together.

• Create a photo slideshow. Digital photos have eclipsed

prints in many people’s hearts. But too often digital photos

never get seen after they’re initially taken. That can change

when you compile a slideshow of favorite photos from

childhood and even present-day photos that Mom is sure to

appreciate. Use sentimental music or Mom’s favorite songs

as the soundtrack, and include some inspirational quotations

or personal voiceovers. This is one gift that can be shared in

person or over group meeting apps.

• Get involved together. An especially meaningful way to

honor a mother who is always giving her time and love is to

become involved in a difference-making organization. Joint

volunteerism is a great way to spend more time together

working toward a worthy goal.

• Enjoy her hobbies and interests. Devote a day or more to

trying Mom’s interests and hobbies, whether they include hitting

the links, knitting, singing in the church choir, or digging

in her garden.

• Send an edible gift. If you can’t be there to celebrate with

Mom in person, have a special meal delivered to her door.

Then enjoy the same foods with her via Google Meet, Facetime

or Zoom. Don’t forget a tasty cocktail so you can toast

the special woman in your life.

Mother’s Day celebrations can be unique, heartfelt and

customized based on family needs.

The First Mother’s Day

Celebrations of mothers date back centuries, but the American holiday

EARLY CELEBRATIONS

Ann Reeves Jarvis had served as founder of Mother’s

Day work clubs that were meant to educate women in her

West Virginia community in the proper care and feeding of

children.

After peace was declared in America, these clubs helped

heal lingering divisions as mothers of soldiers on both sides

reclaimed a sense of fellowship and community. Elsewhere,

abolitionist Julia Ward Howe composed the Mother’s Day

Proclamation in 1870, asking them to unite against war. Her

hope was to create an annual Mother’s Peace Day, to be

celebrated on June 2.

Temperance activist Juliet Calhoun Blakely and the duo of

Frank Hiring and Mary Towles Sasseen were also working

separately to organize their own local events.

NEW NATIONAL HOLIDAY

Ann Reeves Jarvis’ daughter, Anna, continued the effort

after her mother died in 1905. Anna began by seeking financial

backing from a Philadelphia department-store owner in

the hopes of organizing the first official Mother’s Day, which

would now focus on the sacrifices made in raising children.

The long-waited first celebration, in May 1908, was based

in a local Methodist Church in Grafton, West Virginia, but

has its roots in the post-Civil War era.

also saw large gatherings at each of John Wanamaker stores.

The younger Jarvis then started a letter-writing campaign to

get Mother’s Day added to a national calendar that she said

too often focused on male achievement.

Many individual churches, towns and even states had begun

to celebrate the holiday annually by 1912. All of it led to

President Woodrow Wilson’s 1914 signing of a measure that

established the second Sunday in May as Mother’s Day.

INCREASING COMMERCIALIZATION

Like many holidays, Mother’s Day became increasingly

commercialized. Jarvis had conceived of the day as one for

personal celebrations with family. Before long, however, the

holiday also inevitably became associated with floral arrangements,

candy makers and confectioners, greeting card companies

and merchant sales — and this deeply upset Jarvis.

By 1920, she could be found openly denouncing the holiday

she’d once championed, urging others to follow the commemoration

back to its simple origins. She filed a number of

lawsuits trying to stop retailers and other groups from using

“Mother’s Day” in promotional materials, losing her personal

wealth to attorneys fees. Anna Jarvis actually lobbied the federal

government to remove Mother’s Day from the calendar

before her death in 1948.

Involving the Kids

It’s tempting to take over present buying, meal making and craft creations in an effort to turn

Mother’s Day into an unforgettable moment.

But the love and imagination of children can turn any gift

into something to be cherished for a lifetime.

WHAT THEY’LL LEARN

A child’s messages of love, and the innocent, often humorous

way they look at life will mean more to mom than they

could ever imagine. Encourage children to be themselves,

even if they’re simply writing their own personal thoughts

on a store-bought greeting card or in a florist’s message box.

Along the way, they’ll come to understand how important

they are to their mom, while continuing to grow more confident

in expressing their own unique point of view.

FUN WAYS TO CELEBRATE

Small crafts like hand-painted garden rocks, fingerprint

hearts or paper-flower bouquets are both timeless and easy

enough for even the youngest of kids to imagine and create.

Looking to get beyond the usual craft-making or gift-buying

ideas? Consider using modern media to create something that

hip and new. Tablets and laptops often come with installed

home-movie editors where you can combine movies and photos

from your phone. Look for shots of mom spending time

with family, then choose a favorite song for the soundtrack.

Recorded messages to mom complete things. Can’t pick

just one song? Make your mother an online playlist with

favorite tracks she’s loved throughout her life, sprinkling in

soundtrack songs from movies you’ve watched together and

some of the latest ear worm hits of today. Soon you’ll be

singing and dancing your way through Mother’s Day. It’s the

modern-era equivalent of a mixtape.

The Best Breakfast in Bed

Wake up early this Mother’s Day if mom is typically the one who toils in the kitchen to feed everyone. Breakfast in bed will get her special

holiday off to a great start.

EARLY PREP MATTERS

First, consider what she loves for breakfast, rather than

what dad or the kids prefer. You’re thanking her for the many

sacrifices she makes every day for your family. So, you’ll

want to make sure it’s something she especially loves. For the

biggest surprise, consider a make-ahead dish so that there’s

not a lengthy — and perhaps noisy! — preparation period

that might awaken her too early. Oven-baked French toast is a

relatively easy option. You can also try biscuit cups, breakfast

wraps or an old-standby like pancakes. Make sure everyone

knows where everything you need to prepare things is located

WHY IT MATTERS

Mother’s Day provides us with an annual opportunity

to show how much mom means. But sometimes children,

especially the younger ones, aren’t completely aware of

everything that goes into mothering. So take a moment to

discuss all of the things she does, both seen and unseen, on

in the kitchen. If possible, pull out needed kitchenware.

IDEAS FOR THE BIG DAY

If you decide to cook first thing on Mother’s Day, keep

it simple. Whatever you make needs to be prepared quickly

and — perhaps most importantly — quietly. So if you’re a

this special holiday. Take this newfound knowledge and put

it into action by chipping in more regularly with chores.

Kids will be relieving moms of some weekly tasks, while

also learning important lessons about responsibility. Loving

and respecting your mom shouldn’t be reserved for a single

day in May.

true amateur around the stove, consider an easier task like

scrambled eggs rather than a more complex omelet. If you’re

more of a pro in the kitchen, try something trendier like substituting

egg whites — or something more culturally specific,

if it applies. Worried that any activity in the kitchen will

wake her? Sneak out for a run to the local farmer’s market or

bakery for something fresh and tasty.

PRESENT IT WITH FLAIR

How it all will look is a big part of the surprise. You don’t

want to serve her a plate of runny eggs and burnt toast. So

take your time with plating the meal, then decorate around

the plate with flowers, herbs or slices of fruit. Buy a tray with

four legs, if you don’t already own some. Consider selecting

one with a design that you know mom will love. (If you

plan out far enough, you could provide an extra surprise by

getting the tray customized by a local woodworker with a

special message or dates.) Find linens to place over the serving

tray, adding a splash or color or patterned flair.

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 CAREGIV-

ERS

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 samesex

couples are raising children. Among

married same-sex couples, 18.9 percent of

the households have children under age 18.

These non-traditional 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.

Mother’s Day can be recognized with flexibility

and creativity within non-traditional

families.

Priceless Ways to Show Mom You Care

Every day as a pediatrician, I get to hear

from a lot of moms (including my own)

which brings me to Mother’s Day—a time to

celebrate mom for the special person she is.

This week therefore, I thought I would share

with children and dads some of the gifts mom

really would like to get for her special day

that cost next to nothing but are truly priceless.

24 hours of peace

Why not consider doing what mom asks

the first time she asks you to do it? (That goes

for Dads doing what moms ask of them too.)

While still not surgically possible, mothers

would certainly enjoy having eyes in the back

of their head, and while that operation doesn’t

exist, every mom I know already has that talent.

Consider giving mom a coupon good for a

“day off” for time to herself on the big day,

and if that’s more easily said than done, at

least let her sleep in, serve her breakfast in

bed, and let her take over the remote control

and pick the programs she really wants to

watch.

Institute a whine-free zone throughout your

home that should be in place for the entire 24

hours of Mother’s Day and consider extending

it beyond Mother’s Day.

Homemade gifts are best

Mothers also tell me they do like gifts, but

the homemade ones mean the most. Consider

making mom a certificate that names her

world’s greatest mom as a means of showing

how much she is appreciated. Framing this so

she can hang it up is even better and will last

longer than any store-bought gift.

Help with any chores or clean-ups that usually

fall to mom (such as making beds (not

just yours but mom’s as well) or doing dishes

or even cleaning your room and let her marvel

at the fact that these are not skills that

only mothers have learned but ones that can

be done not just by the children but by dad as

well.

Dinner? Make reservations

Finally take mom out for dinner and invite

the grandparents, even the in-laws so that

everyone, especially mom’s partner along

with the children, can tell mom they love her,

hug her, and can tell her what a special person

she is.

In this way, mothers will say “Wow”

(which is mom upside down) when it comes

to our showing her the kindness, concern,

caring and love she deserves so that we can

celebrate Mother’s Day not just on May 8 but

every day of the year.

Green Mountain Conservation Camp

‘Workcation’ Weekends

The Vermont Fish and

Wildlife Department is looking

for volunteers to join

them for fun-filled weekends

to get the camps ready for the

2022 season. This year, the

GMCC Kehoe ‘workcation’

weekend will be May 14-15

and the GMCC Buck Lake

workcation weekend will be

May 21-22.

“We look forward to workcation

weekend all winter

long,” said Education

Manager Ali Thomas. “With

the help of local volunteers,

we spruce up both camps in

preparation for the summer

and enjoy being outdoors

knowing it’s for a good cause

– environmental education

for kids.”

Volunteers can participate for as long as

they are able to; one hour, one day, or both

days. They are welcome to stay overnight in

onsite cabins or they can bring their own

tents. Lunch and dinner will be provided.

The Buck Lake camp is located in

Woodbury and the Kehoe camp is on Lake

Bomoseen in Castleton. This is an excellent

community service opportunity for boy scout

and girl scout groups, as well has high school

and college clubs. The Conservation Camps

are looking for help with general repairs,

construction, landscaping, painting, cleaning,

firewood, and gardening. Participants are

encouraged to bring their own tools, but the

camps will have some available.

For more information and to register as a

volunteer for one of these weekends, please

Vermont’s conservation camp program is

unique because it is sponsored and directed

by the Fish and Wildlife Department professionals

who conserve Vermont’s fish and

wildlife species. Working biologists, foresters,

wardens, and conservation educators

teach young people about their role with

Vermont’s forests, wetlands, wildlife, and fish

through interactive activities.

The Green Mountain Conservation Camp

program’s greatest strength is connecting

young people to the outdoors. The camp

program is sponsored in part through a grant

from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service

Wildlife and Sport Fish Restoration Program.

Willoughby Steelhead Rainbow Trout Will Be Jumping

One of the state’s premier wildlife watching

opportunities is taking place in Vermont.

The steelhead rainbow trout have started their

upstream migration to leap up waterfalls in a

spectacular display of determination on their

way to their spawning grounds.

Steelhead can be spotted moving up the

falls during warmer days in mid-to-late April

and sometimes into early May.

“Many people may not realize we have

opportunities to watch fish in Vermont just

like there are for birds and mammals,” said

Pete Emerson, fisheries biologist for the

Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department.

“Witnessing these trout migrate is a powerful

reminder of the importance of maintaining

healthy and connected waters to allow fish to

thrive. We’re working to conserve Vermont’s

waterways and the surrounding habitats so

that future generations can continue to witness

this incredible migration each spring.

While the annual migration occurs over several

weeks, the best opportunities for seeing

jumping fish only last for a few days when

flows and water temperatures are just right.”

Willoughby River steelhead also provide

an excellent fishing opportunity attracting

anglers from all over the Northeast for

Vermont’s trout fishing season that opened

April 9. The section of the river in Orleans

Deerfield Signs Focus on Wild Native Brook Trout

Informational signs highlighting the presence

of wild native brook trout in the upper

Deerfield watershed will be posted this month

thanks to a multi-party initiative. The signs

encourage the conservation of Vermont’s

official State Cold Water Fish.

The upper Deerfield watershed is home to

wild native brook trout. This iconic species

thrives in cold, clean water and healthy forests.

Wild native brook trout have endured for

thousands of years. Unfortunately, they have

disappeared from much of their original

range.

This project came about as a result of the

Somerset Integrated Resource Project published

by the U.S. Forest Service in August

2020. This management plan covers 71,000

acres in Windham and Bennington Counties,

including the upper Deerfield River and its

• • •

tributaries. These headwater streams are

home to self-sustaining native brook trout

populations.

Native Fish Coalition (NFC) partnered

with U.S. Forest Service, Vermont Department

of Fish and Wildlife and Connecticut River

Valley Trout Unlimited (CRVTU) on this

project. The Village of Jacksonville and Town

of Wilmington, plus Great River Hydro, will

host signs on their land. Signs will be posted

at access points near streams that are home to

wild native brook trout.

“Wild native brook trout are an ‘indicator

species,’” said David Wein, a project organizer

and board member of both VT NFC and

CRVTU. “The upper Deerfield watershed has

good forest canopy and cold, clean water,

essential components for wild native brook

trout” according to Wein.

Things First-Time Gardeners Need to Know

CONTACT US

By Deborah J. Benoit

Extension Master Gardener

University of Vermont

Do you want to enjoy fresh, home-grown

veggies this summer? Perhaps you’d like to

adorn your home with fresh-cut flowers.

Whatever the reason, this year you’ve

decided to start a garden of your own. But

before you grab a spade and head for the

backyard, put pen to paper and make a plan.

Dream as big as you like, but for this year

at least, plan small. Your first garden will be

a learning experience. To ensure success, narrow

your focus. Trying to do it all is a sure

way to become overwhelmed.

Whether you choose to garden in a small

plot, a raised bed or a few pots by the back

door, gardening success isn’t hard to achieve.

First and foremost, like the old saying, it’s

all about location. Look around your yard at

various times of day before you decide where

to put your garden. The location needs to

provide three things that are key to success:

soil, light and water.

If you’re gardening in containers or raised

beds, you can purchase soil to meet your

needs. If you’re planning on a more traditional

garden plot, choose a location with

good soil. Ideally, you’ll want soil that’s

loamy – a balance of clay, silt and sand that

retains moisture but drains well and will provide

nutrients for your garden.

If you’re not sure about your soil, consider

a soil test. If your soil is less than ideal (most

are), it can be amended, for example, by the

addition of compost. A soil test will tell you

about your soil’s pH and nutrients and make

recommendations for amendments and fertilizer.

More information on soil testing can be

found at the University of Vermont (UVM)

Agricultural and Environmental Testing Lab’s

website (https://pss.uvm.edu/ag_testing).

The location you select should provide full

sun for at least 6-8 hours a day since most

vegetable plants and flowers require that to

grow to their fullest potential. And you’ll

want a convenient source of water nearby.

Toting water to the far side of the yard in the

summer heat is a sure way to dampen your

enthusiasm, resulting in skipped watering and

Gardening Questions?

Ask An Extension Master Gardener

Wondering when to plant your tomatoes?

Confused about composting? Or maybe you

need some advice on caring for your lawn.

University of Vermont (UVM) Extension

Master Gardeners are available to answer

questions from gardeners in Vermont on a

broad range of home horticulture topics

including soil bed preparation and planting;

vegetable and fruit gardening; annuals and

VTF&W to Hold Deer Hearings May 10 and 12

The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department

and Vermont Fish and Wildlife Board will

hold two more public hearings on May 10 and

12 to solicit input on deer and the department’s

2022 Antlerless Harvest and Youth

Season Recommendation.

The hearings are scheduled for 6:30 to 9:00

p.m. at the following locations:

Tuesday, May 10 – Bellows Falls Union

High School, 406 High School Rd,

Westminster, VT 05158

Thursday, May 12 – Vermont Fish and

Wildlife Dept., 111 West St, Essex Junction,

VT 05452

“In recent years, the department has successfully

reduced deer numbers in many parts

of Vermont to bring populations into balance

with their habitat,” said Nick Fortin, deer and

moose project leader for the Fish and Wildlife

Department. “As a result, the 2022 recommendation

aims to maintain current deer

numbers in most of the state.”

Deer populations in five wildlife manage-

and light, is the key to success for healthy plants

unhappy plants.

Once you’ve selected a location and know

how much space you have available in your

garden, get to know the plants you want to

grow. Invest some time in a little research.

That tiny tomato plant in its 4-inch pot may

grow two feet wide and six feet tall or sprawl

out to cover several feet of your raised bed.

Be sure to give your plants room to grow.

Introduce your plants to the outdoors gradually.

“Hardening off” allows them to adjust

to conditions in the garden, particularly the

sun. Place your plants outside in a semi-shady

spot, gradually moving them into direct sun

over a week or two.

When planting, water them well. If a support,

such as a trellis or tomato cage, will be

needed, put it in place at the time of planting.

Cover garden soil with mulch to help retain

moisture and suppress weeds.

Keep an eye out for pests or signs the plant

may be stressed. Be sure plants get adequate

water, fertilize as recommended for your particular

plant and remove weeds. Before you

know it, you’ll be enjoying the fruits of your

garden.

website (www.uvm.edu/extension/mastergardener)

is an excellent gardening resource. If

you have questions, click on “Gardener

Helpline.” If you’d like to expand your

knowledge of gardening (and perhaps help

others to do so, too), consider becoming an

online system to submit photos of plants

damaged by insects and diseases.

Environmental Testing Lab. For information,

visit https://pss.uvm.edu/ag_testing. If you

have follow-up questions about soil recommendations,

please upload a copy of your

Logan and Leon are a handsome duo looking

for a home to call their own! Originally from

the same litter as kittens, these boys have

been together forever! They love to explore

their surroundings, help their humans with

chores, like sweeping, and enjoy a good lap to

sit on. They seek a home that is chill; older

children if any, other felines are okay, and if a

canine in the home, a cat-savvy dog.

Vermont Senate Passes

2023 Budget, Expands

Funding for AMI

The Vermont Senate has approved an $8 billion budget that

includes a significant investment for advanced metering infrastructure

(AMI) in public power communities. The budget

passed the Senate on Wednesday, April 20, 2022.

In March, House lawmakers recognized a need for AMI

funding for municipal and cooperative electric utilities. The

House passed its version of the budget bill with $5 million in

one-time funding from the General Fund appropriated to AMI.

The Senate Appropriations Committee then provided unanimous

support for an additional $3 million in funding, for a

total $8 million towards the affordable, equitable implementation

of AMI in Vermont’s rural communities.

“VPPSA would like to thank both House and Senate legislators

for the inclusion of AMI funding in the budget,” said

VPPSA General Manager, Ken Nolan. “We’re grateful to the

leaders who are helping create an equitable transition to a

clean energy future where electricity remains affordable.”

The $8 million of AMI funding will be administered by the

Vermont Department of Public Service. It will be applied as a

reimbursement to municipal and cooperative electric utilities

that implement AMI systems that have been approved by the

Public Utilities Commission.

The bill will now likely head to a conference committee

consisting of House and Senate negotiators. Action on the

budget will be taken by Vermont Governor Phil Scott later this

spring.

About Vermont Public Power Supply Authority (VPPSA)

VPPSA provides municipal electric utility members with a

broad spectrum of services and solutions, including regulatory

assistance, financial planning, and power supply. VPPSA

members include Barton Village, Village of Enosburg Falls,

Hardwick Electric Department, Village of Jacksonville

Electric Company, Village of Johnson Electric Department,

Ludlow Electric Light Department, Lyndonville Electric Department,

Morrisville Water & Light Department, Town of

Northfield Electric Department, Village of Orleans, and Swanton

Village Electric Department. For more information, visit

Supporting Local Businesses Has

Never Been More Important

What small businesses can do to engage their communities

Community engagement can benefit small

businesses in various ways. By engaging

with their

communities, business owners can build

brand awareness and inspire trust among

residents. Trust in a brand leads many consumers

to share positive word- of-mouth, and

it also can inspire brand loyalty, a potentially

lucrative benefit that can pay dividends for

years to come.

A recent study from Bain and Company

found that the average repeat customer

spends 67 percent more in months

31 through 36 of their relationship with a

business than they do in the first six months

of that relationship. That underscores how

lucrative a long-term relationship with a

customer can be for a business. When paired

with reliable products and great customer

service, community engagement strategies

increase the likelihood that businesses will

create a loyal customer base, thus laying the

foundation for a successful business that can

grow for years to come.

Businesses can engage with their communities

in various ways. Many engagement

strategies give business owners a chance to

communicate directly with their customers,

and these interactions can be especially

valuable.

• Participate in local events. Local events

like holiday bazaars and town festivals

provide great chances for business owners to

communicate directly with new and existing

customers. Take advantage of the chance

to set up a booth at such events, and make

a concerted effort to reach out to consumers

who stop by the booth. The customer

feedback experts at Apptentive found that 97

percent of consumers are somewhat likely to

become more loyal to a company that implements

their feedback. Setting up a booth at

a bazaar or festival provides a great chance

to solicit feedback that businesses can then

implement to retain more customers.

• Sponsor a local youth sports team.

Youth sports team sponsorships are a

relatively inexpensive way to create brand

awareness. The National Alliance for Youth

Sports, Inc., reports that sponsorship costs

vary from organization to organization,

though they may cost as little as $100 to

around $5,000 for the season. In return for

that investment, businesses gain exposure

to athletes, athletes’ families and friends,

volunteers, and countless others who may

see players in uniform on game day. When

compared to the cost of advertising online,

on television or on the radio, youth sports

sponsorship provides a great return on

investment.

• Offer your space. Another way business

owners can engage their communities is by

offering their spaces for community-based

events. For example, business owners with

ample parking lots can offer those lots as

registration sites for charity 5Ks or other

events that can utilize large and open outdoor

spaces. This approach addresses a community

need and draws a crowd of locals to your

establishment, thus increasing the chances

they will patronize the business during and

after the event.

There is no limit to the ways local businesses

can engage their communities.
