Tax Credits Combine with Pandemic
Relief Funds to Support Affordable
Vermont Apartments
The Vermont Housing Finance Agency
(VHFA) Board of Commissioners announced
that its annual award of federal housing tax
credits will support the construction of 109
permanently affordable apartments in four
communities across the state. The sale of this
year’s tax credits to investors is expected to
yield nearly $25 million in funding, which
will cover an estimated 55 percent of total
project development costs.
Vermont’s housing funders will be able
to leverage the impact of the tax credits and
overcome pandemic-related increases in the
cost of development by pairing the credits
with an estimated $11.6 million in funding
from the federal American Rescue Plan Act
(ARPA), awarded through the Vermont Housing
& Conversation Board.
Vermont always envisioned pairing ARPA
funds with federal Low Income Housing Tax
credits (LIHTC). However, due to a federal
interpretation of how these programs could
work together, Vermont was at risk of losing
this opportunity to put federal dollars to their
best use. Vermont’s congressional delegation
was the first to recognize this problem and
jointly led national efforts to seek a solution.
Senator Leahy led bipartisan efforts to introduce
the LIFELINE Act to allow states to
make long-term loans with ARPA funds to tax
credit debits over developments, with strong
support from Senator Sanders and Representative
Peter Welch. Together, Vermont’s congressional
delegation will continue to work
with their colleagues in the House and Senate
to solve this challenge.
Projects receiving federal tax credits this
year include Central & Main, a new 30-unit
building developed by Windham & Windsor
Housing Trust and Evernorth with 23 affordable
units, including six for households experiencing
homelessness. The building will fill
in a vacant lot in the heart of the historic town
center in Windsor.
Also in the Upper Valley is Prospect Place
in Hartford, developed by Twin Pines Housing
Trust and Evernorth. They will build 30
affordable apartments in a new 42-unit mixedincome
building, eight of which are reserved
for households experiencing homelessness.
The two projects will help address a desperate
need for affordable housing in the area.
O’Brien Farms will be developed and managed
by Summit Properties. The O’Brien
Hillside project is a large master development
in South Burlington, including both homeownership
and rental homes. The O’Brien
Farms building that received tax credits this
week is a 47-unit mixed-income building with
32 affordable units, including eight reserved
Vermont State Police Prepares to Move
into New Berlin Barracks
By CompassVermont.com
Troopers who cover central Vermont will
move from Middlesex into a new barracks in
Berlin, the first new Vermont State Police field
station since Westminster opened in 2016.
Housed in a completely remodeled building
that served for years as the Mid-State Library,
the new Berlin Barracks is larger, better
equipped and outfitted with modern technology
and spaces that were unavailable at the
Middlesex Barracks.
“We’ve needed a new facility to serve our
patrol area in Washington and Orange counties
for years, and we’re excited to finally be
ready to make the move from Middlesex to
Berlin,” said Capt. Michael Manley, VSP’s
administrative services commander. “This
building will serve the public and our troopers
better, with a host of necessary upgrades
for the modern delivery of policing services.”
Those upgrades, Manley said, include an
open-concept layout for uniformed troopers
in the Field Force Division and detectives in
the Criminal Division; comfortable interview
rooms for speaking to victims, witnesses and
suspects; secure evidence rooms, storage and
sally ports; and multiple conference rooms.
Berlin also features updated radio communications
capabilities and fiber-optic internet
connectivity.
The new site retains its central location in
• • •
for households experiencing homelessness.
The project will also include a second mixedincome,
47-unit building next door, which
will apply separately for federal bond tax
credits next month.
Downstreet Housing & Community Development
and Evernorth will develop Fox Run
Apartments in Berlin. The Town of Berlin received
a New Town Center Designation for
the neighborhood to allow for additional public
infrastructure and redevelopment of the
area. The project will include 30 new apartments,
24 of which will be affordable, and
six of which will be set aside for households
experiencing homelessness. The project was
partially funded by tax credits last year, with
the understanding that the sponsors might
need to apply for additional funding to move
the project forward.
Firehouse Apartments in Bristol, which
also received tax credits last year, received
an additional supplement of tax credits in recognition
of the escalating development costs
seen during the pandemic.
For the fourth year in a row, every project
sponsor will reserve at least 25 percent of the
new tax credit apartments for households that
are either experiencing or at risk of homelessness.
To date, state and federal housing tax
credits have helped develop 434 affordable
apartments paired with supportive clinical
and social services devoted to Vermonters experiencing
homelessness. The 28 new apartments
for households experiencing homelessness
developed with this year’s awards will
provide an important resource to help shift
families from temporary emergency housing
into permanent affordable homes.
In addition to the housing credits awarded
by VHFA, other funding sources for these developments
include grants and loans from the
Vermont Housing and Conservation Board,
the federal HOME program, the Vermont
Community Development Program, the Upper
Valley Loan Fund and NeighborWorks.
When the apartments come online, the Vermont
State Housing Authority and several local
Public Housing Authorities will provide
project based rental assistance, which will
further reduce rent for several units, allowing
the projects to provide deep affordability.
VHFA is a non-profit agency created in
1974 by the Vermont Legislature to finance
and promote affordable housing opportunities
for low- and moderate-income Vermonters.
Since its inception, the agency has helped approximately
29,000 Vermont households with
affordable mortgages and financed the development
of approximately 8,800 affordable
rental apartments.

89 and the 18 communities where troopers
provide primary law-enforcement coverage.
The Berlin Barracks originally was constructed
as a library in 1968 and is 9,955
square feet. The old Middlesex Barracks encompassed
5,512 square feet and began as the
Middlesex Village School in 1960. The state
purchased and converted the building into a
VSP barracks in 1971.
Vermont legislators allocated about $2.7
million for the Berlin Barracks project.
Troopers made the switch to their new location,
at 578 Paine Turnpike North, at 5 p.m.
Friday, June 3, 2022. A formal ribbon-cutting
ceremony is scheduled for 10 a.m. June 17.
The barracks is commanded by Lt. David
White and provides primary law enforcement
to Cabot, Calais, Duxbury, East Montpelier,
Fayston, Marshfield, Middlesex, Moretown,
Plainfield, Roxbury, Waitsfield, Warren, Waterbury,
Woodbury and Worcester in Washington

also support and assist half a dozen municipal
police departments in the coverage area.

Vermont’s Summer Free Fishing Day
is Saturday, June 11
Vermont’s annual, statewide Summer Free
Fishing Day is Saturday, June 11 this year,
and it will be highlighted by a free family
fishing festival in Grand Isle as well as opening
day of the state’s regular bass fishing
season.
“Vermont’s Free Fishing Day gives resident
and nonresident anglers the opportunity
to go fishing without a license for the day in
Vermont lakes and streams,” said Fish and
Wildlife Commissioner Christopher Herrick.
“Free Fishing Day is a great opportunity for
an experienced angler to be a mentor to
friends who have not gone fishing before. A
day on the water could lead to a lifetime of
great experiences and healthy local food.”
Free Fishing Day in Vermont also will be
celebrated at the “Grand Isle Family Fishing
Festival,” to be held at the Ed Weed Fish
Culture Station at 14 Bell Hill Road in Grand
Isle. The festival will run from 9:00 a.m. to
3:00 p.m.
Designed for young anglers and families,
this exciting event offers basic fishing instruction
and the chance for kids to catch big trout
in a hatchery pond. No prior fishing experience
is needed, and Vermont Fish and Wildlife
Fires and Swimming are Prohibited
at Fishing Access Areas
With the beginning of summer and anglers
fishing from shore, the Vermont Fish and
Wildlife Department reminds people that
open fires and swimming are prohibited at all
Vermont state fishing access areas.
Open fires and their remnants, create
unsafe areas for other anglers and boaters to
use and enjoy. The remnants of these fires are
also unhealthy for the animals and fish that
live in the adjacent waters. Fish and Wildlife
cleans up the toxic waste left by open fires on
state lands annually at considerable expense.
Swimming at fishing access areas is prohibited
due to safety concerns and because
the primary uses of the fishing access areas is
for launching and retrieving motorboats and
for shore fishing.
The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department
maintains 196 developed fishing access areas
on lakes and rivers throughout the state.
These areas have allowed uses determined by
law, and swimming is not one of them.
The access areas were purchased and are
maintained with funds derived from the sale
• • •
• • •
of fishing licenses and motorboat registrations,
as well as a federal excise tax on fishing
equipment, fishing tackle, and gasoline for
motorboats. These funding sources explicitly
prohibit activities that are in conflict with
fishing and boating.
Fish and Wildlife regulations prohibit certain
uses of fishing access areas including,
but not limited to – swimming, littering,
camping, picnicking, making a fire, parking
of vehicles not related to priority uses, and
commercial activity.
“Vermont State Game Wardens will be
strictly enforcing the rules at state fishing
access areas this summer,” said Col. Jason
Batchelder, Vermont’s Chief Game Warden.
“Please help keep our lands clean and open
for others to enjoy, and report violations to
your local warden or use the anonymous
Operation Game Thief hot line at 1-800-
75ALERT. Reports of time-sensitive violations
should be called in to a local State
Police radio dispatcher who can contact a
warden.”

The Vermont Agency of Transportation
(AOT) will host a public meeting to seek input
for a management plan for the Lamoille
Valley Rail Trail (LVRT) at 6:00 p.m. on June
21 at the Swanton Village Complex at 120
First Street and virtually via Zoom.
“We are excited to be nearing completion
of this management plan, which will set the
stage for the state to work toward a consistent
approach and visitor experience for all stateowned
rail trails,” says Michele Boomhower,
Director of Policy, Planning, and Intermodal
Development at AOT.
The LVRT management plan seeks to develop
a cohesive vision for the trail; identifies
long-range strategies for management, maintenance,
and operations of the trail; and supports
opportunities for community and economic
development efforts along the LVRT.
Construction of the LVRT is scheduled to
be completed in 2022. The 93-mile trail will
connect 18 communities across five counties
in northern Vermont from Swanton to St.
Johnsbury. The plan will provide a model rail
trail management planning framework for all
state-owned rail trails in Vermont, including
the Missisquoi Valley, Beebe Spur, and Delaware
& Hudson rail trails.

Vermont Reach Up Coalition
On May 23, 2022, Vermont became the
first state in the nation to modernize our
Temporary Aid for Needy Families (TANF)
program, Reach Up, by eliminating arbitrary
and convoluted work requirements that have
failed to help families achieve long-term economic
stability.
Using an evidence-based framework supported
by the American Public Human Services
Association, H.464 recognizes the agency
and humanity of participating families,
allowing them to work collaboratively with
their case managers to enhance their economic
mobility by pursuing training or education,
by removing barriers to employment like untreated
health issues, or by finding a job that
recognizes their strengths, goals, and needs.
“The Governor’s signature on H.464 means
Vermont will make important programmatic
shifts to align Reach Up with best practices,
which will help parents overcome barriers to
employment,” said Amy Rose, Policy Associate
for Voices for Vermont’s Children.
Throughout the 2022 legislative session,
the Vermont Reach Up Coalition worked
with legislators, partner organizations, and
Reach Up participants to support the passage
of H.464. In addition to eliminating work
requirements in favor of a trauma-informed
strength-based collaborative approach to
building economic stability, the new law also
allows families to continue to receive support
for children who are in school through age 21,
reduces the benefits cliff by increasing earned
income disregards, allows more child support
to be retained by families, and eliminates the
use of a medical review team that reviewed
determinations by participants’ own healthcare
providers.
Donna Pavetti, Vice President for Family
Income Support at the Center on Budget and
Policy Priorities, testified that many families
that turn to TANF (Reach Up) are fleeing
domestic violence, have lived in extreme
poverty, or have experienced significant adversity
as a child. She noted that since TANF
was created 25 years ago, we’ve learned that
we need to create policies that do not retraumatize
families by setting unrealistic expectations,
ignore families’ individual circumstances,
and take an overly punitive approach
when parents cannot meet impossible goals.
Jessica Radbord, a consultant at Vermont
Legal Aid, noted:, “TANF work requirements
were rooted in racist, sexist, and classist narratives.
We advocated for elimination of Vermont’s
strict and arbitrary work requirements
because we believe – and evidence shows –
that engaging Reach Up families collaboratively
to remove barriers to employment and
to identify goals is the best way to help them
achieve long-term economic stability.”
Representative Taylor Small (P/D-Winooski),
a member of the House Human Services
Committee and a lead legislative voice
supporting the bill said, “I am proud of my
committee’s work on this legislation, which
provides a much needed update to our Reach
Up statute in order to better support both participating
families and their case workers.
By simplifying participant expectations and
removing archaic work requirements, we are
empowering some of Vermont’s most vulnerable
families to pursue self-determined goals
that will actually meet their needs and the
needs of their children. There is more work
to be done to eradicate generational poverty
and strengthen Vermont’s social safety net,
but this was an important and necessary step
in the right direction.”
Voices for Vermont’s Children’s Amy Rose
concurred, “Until the program’s cash benefits
provide adequate support to families, children
will continue to suffer from inadequate food,
housing and other basic needs. We look forward
to working with legislative champions
in the new biennium to ensure that children
in Vermont aren’t subject to a policy that subjects
them to deep poverty by design.”

Green Mountain United Way Brings In Over $240,000
In Tax Refunds for Local Workers
Green Mountain United Way is thrilled to
report that we helped bring $243,327 in total
refund dollars back to our clients through our
Volunteer Income Tax Assistance program
(VITA). The program gives income qualified
tax filers help filing their taxes each year
without a fee.
Green Mountain United Way’s Working
Bridges program has successfully completed
another VITA tax season, resulting in free tax
preparation for employees served by Working
Bridges with household income under
$58,000.
This year we completed 94 tax returns
across our eight Working Bridges sites which
saved these working Vermonters an estimated
collective $15,000 in tax preparation fees
often incurred through other tax preparation
platforms.
Over the last two years of the pandemic,
we have operated both fully remotely and
with hybrid options for tax preparation. It has
been a challenge and also an incredible
opportunity for us to develop and implement
a multi-faceted system to accommodate all
the needs and technology limitations of our
clients as well as the security requirements
• • •
• • •
that tax preparation requires.
“I am proud to say that we have done so
with enthusiasm and dedication to the population
we serve who benefits greatly from this
aspect of our program,” reports Julia Davis,
Community Impact Director at Green
Mountain United Way.
Green Mountain United Way’s Working
Bridges program brings resources and human
services onsite to local employers, so that
workers can access programs for which they
might not know about or otherwise qualify.
Helping a single working mother navigate the
cost of heating oil or find snow tires, is just
the kind of thing our resource coordinators
do. These are helpful hands up, not handouts,
to those who are working long hours at essential
jobs and often do not qualify for traditional
social services.
Programs like Working Bridges rely on
collective partnerships and investments from
partners in our community, local businesses,
and individuals in order to continue to support
our local working Vermont families. For

Chairman Sanders to Hold Budget Committee Hearing
on Saving and Expanding Social Security
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.), Chairman of
the Senate Budget Committee, announced
that the committee will hold a hearing Thursday,
June 9, at 11:00 a.m. titled “Saving Social
Security: Expanding Benefits and Demanding
the Wealthy Pay Their Fair Share or Cutting
Benefits and Increasing Retirement Anxiety.”
Signed into law by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt, Social Security today remains one
of the most popular and successful government
programs in the history of the United
States. Before it was enacted in 1935, more
than half of the nation’s seniors lived in poverty,
as well as countless Americans living
with disabilities and surviving dependents of
deceased workers.
More than 80 years later, the nation’s senior
poverty rate is just 8.9 percent with Social Security
providing an essential lifeline to the 1
in 7 seniors who rely on the program for more
than 90 percent of their income – as well as the
estimated 50 percent of Americans, 55-yearsold
and older, living without retirement savings.
In 2020 alone, during the onslaught of
the Covid-19 pandemic, Social Security lifted
22 million Americans out of poverty, including
more than 16 million seniors.
“At a time when half of Americans over the
age of 55 have no retirement savings, our job
is not to cut Social Security. Our job is to save
and expand Social Security by making the
wealthiest Americans pay their fair share of
taxes,” said Sanders. “In the richest country
in the history of the world, no senior should
live in poverty and every American should be
able to retire in dignity after a lifetime of hard
work. This is not a radical idea.”

What’s the Buzz?
What’s the buzz about? Why is there a honey bee hive

risk? The Vermont Bee Lab will explain what bees do and
why we need them, Thursday, June 23rd at 6:30 PM in the
Waterbury Public Library’s SAL Room.
The hive located outside the library was once used by a
Vermont beekeeper to house a honey bee colony. Now it is
used as a “drop box” for bee samples. The Vermont Bee Lab
at the University of Vermont provides free testing for beekeepers
to help keep their bees healthy and learn what pests
their bees may carry.

habitat loss, parasites, diseases and insecticides, but there are
also many things you can do to help save bees. A bee garden
is simply a garden full of plants rich in pollen and nectar.
Plants with hollow stems such as raspberry and sumac provide
nesting sites for native bees. Trees also provide nectar for
bees and dead trees provide nesting habitats. A bird bath or a
simple bowl of water with pebbles gives bees a place to drink.
Keep your weeds and you’ll provide a great food source for
bees!
Did you know that bees are responsible for one in every
three bites of food that you eat? This is done through pollination.
There are over 20,000 species of bees on the planet and
over 300 have been documented in Vermont.
Come hear Sydney Miller, Lab/Field Technician at the
Vermont Bee Lab at UVM talk about honey bees, beekeeping
in Vermont, and what exactly they do in the lab. Find out what

Lamoille County Players Hold Auditions for “Blue Window”
The Lamoille County Players invite you to audition for
their fall foliage drama “Blue Window.” Set in several apartments
in 1980s New York City, the play explores relationships
through overlapping dialogue and music, and follows seven
individuals as they navigate commitment and the complexities
of life. Auditions are June 18 and 19, at 1 p.m., 2 p.m.,
and 3 p.m. at the Hyde Park Opera House. Performance dates
are Sept 30-Oct 2, and Oct 7-9.
Coming together for a dinner party are the nervous hostess
(Libby), her best friend (Griever), a fiction writer (Alice), her
lover (Boo), who is learning Italian, (Norbert), the quiet parachute
instructor, an aspiring composer struggling to write a
song (Tom), and a lost secretary in search of her own story
(Emily). Together they examine relationships; the ones they
have with themselves, and the ones they have with each other.
Past fears, pain, doubt, faith, all are interwoven to create a
quick-moving performance that explores how we connect to
or disconnect from others throughout our lives.
For actors, this play presents unique, fascinating opportunities.
Its overlapping dialogue and introspective characters are
a goldmine for actors looking to expand their craft. For the
• • •
role of Emily, her voice quietly connects elements of the show
together in song. For the role of Tom, his guitar music sets the
background for much of the play. The small cast size and connective
nature of this show sets the stage for interaction and
cooperation between the actors. It allows them to build relationships
with the material as the characters build or break
bonds or expectations with each other.
You can find character descriptions, the audition signup
link, and more info at www.lcplayers.com/blue-window. You
must sign up online to audition. All participants are asked to
bring a verse and/or chorus of a song to sing acapella at auditions
as an improvisation exercise. A jazz standard is preferred.
Actors auditioning for Emily will use this song as a
vocal audition. Actors auditioning for Tom should bring their
own instrument and be prepared for a guitar audition with
music of their choice. Contact director Monica Callan at
grangehallcc@gmail.com with any questions.
All participants must be vaccinated against Covid-19.
Please bring proof of vaccination (vaccine card or photo of
card). Masks are required.

Win a Free Trip to Washington, D.C. by Taking
the Good Citizen Challenge This Summer
Looking for some educational family fun
this summer — and a chance to win a free
trip to Washington, D.C.? Help the kids in
your life take the Good Citizen Challenge,
an interactive, nonpartisan civics activity. It
recognizes and rewards participants for learning
about their communities, keeping up with
local news and taking action to help others.
Organized by Seven Days and its parenting
publication Kids VT — with help from the
Vermont Historical Society and the Vermont
Community Foundation — the nonpartisan
Good Citizen Challenge is open to all K-12
students.
This summer’s challenge is timed to coincide
with an exhibit at the Vermont History
Museum, opening July 3, that explores the life
and work of the first commercial globe-maker
in the Americas, James Wilson of Bradford;
he made his first globe in 1810. Wilson’s
globes helped people in the U.S. understand
more about the world and their place in it.
This summer’s Good Citizen Challenge
includes 25 activities, such as:
• Visiting the Vermont History Museum (participants
and their families get in free)
• Reading an issue of a local community
newspaper
• Searching for the deed for a property
• Writing a poem or making a piece of art
about Vermont’s state motto: Freedom and
Unity
• Listening to a podcast from Vermont Public
Radio
• Using Front Porch Forum to organize a
donation drive for a charity
• Having a respectful conversation with
someone who has opposing views
Participants must complete at least five activities
in a row on the bingo-like challenge
scorecard, then upload a photo of the completed
scorecard, along with contact information
and evidence of their work, to goodcitizenvt.com.
All who finish five activities in a
row will receive a Good Citizen sticker and
patch, a pocket constitution donated by Phoenix
Books, and an invitation to a VIP reception
at the Vermont State House in Montpelier
this fall. They will also be entered into a
drawing for a free trip to Washington, D.C.
from Milne Travel, a new globe, a gift card to
Phoenix Books and other prizes. There is no
cost to enter.
A challenge scorecard can be found in the
summer issue of Kids VT, which is inserted
into the May 18 issue of Seven Days; Kids VT
is available all season long at drop off locations
in Northwestern Vermont. Participants
can also download the scorecard at goodcitizenvt.com,
or pick one up at the Vermont History
Museum. The deadline to enter is Labor
Day, September 5.

Vermont School Counselor Association Receives
$190,000 from the McClure Foundation and the
Vermont Community Foundation to Hire First-Ever
Staff and Advance Strategic Plan
The Vermont School Counselor Association
(VTSCA) is appreciative to announce
that it has received a four-year grant commitment
totaling $190,000 from the J. Warren &
Lois McClure Foundation (McClure Foundation)
and the VT COVID-19 Response Fund
housed at the Vermont Community Foundation.
The grant funding will help VTSCA advance
its new strategic plan and, over time,
transition from a fully volunteer-based organization
to hiring its first-ever paid staff position.
“School counselors play a critical role in
helping young people succeed—academically,
socially, and emotionally—and plan for
life after high school,” says Carolyn Weir, executive
director of the McClure Foundation.
“We are thrilled to make this multi-year grant
commitment in partnership with the Community
Foundation to the association that supports
and represents school counselors across
Vermont.”
“Some of the hardest-felt impacts of the
pandemic have landed on young people, including
the disruption of education—a challenge
that will take years to recover from,”
says Dan Smith, president and CEO of the
Vermont Community Foundation. “The Community
Foundation is committed to supporting
youth and families now and in the future,
Seven Days and Kids VT organized the
first Good Citizen Challenge in 2018 to raise
awareness of civics education and help bridge
the partisan divide; the most recent Challenge
took place during the 2020-2021 school year.
More than 400 K-12 students from 43 Vermont
towns participated.
“We know from surveying past participants
that kids who complete the Good Citizen
Challenge learn new things about Vermont
history, feel more connected to their communities
and are more aware of local news,”
said Good Citizen Challenge creator Cathy
Resmer, deputy publisher of Seven Days and
editor of Kids VT. “Helping your kids take
the Good Citizen Challenge is a great way to
prompt conversations about what it means to
be an informed and responsible citizen. And it
gives parents and camp directors ideas for fun
day trips or rainy day projects.”
Partners in this summer’s Good Citizen
Challenge also include VPR and Vermont
PBS, Front Porch Forum and the Vermont
State House. Phoenix Books is donating
pocket-sized U.S. constitutions as well as gift
cards to be used for prizes.
“We’re excited to partner with Seven Days
and Kids VT on this Good Citizen Challenge
to get everyone out and exploring our wonderful
state,” said Amanda Kay Gustin, director
of collections and access for the Vermont
Historical Society. “Learning history is crucial
to understanding the world around you,
and we hope to see many participants at the
Vermont History Museum this summer.”
Said Scott Finn, CEO of VPR and Vermont
PBS: “We’re thrilled to partner with Seven
Days on this initiative, which makes civics
fun and real for young people. It strengthens
democracy, in the same way our reporting
does.”
“Front Porch Forum is delighted to support
the Good Citizen Challenge again in
2022,” said Front Porch Forum’s cofounder
and CEO, Michael Wood-Lewis. “Helping
neighbors connect and build community is
more important than ever. The challenge is a
great way to learn about the world, connect
with others — and make Vermont a little better
along the way. Thank you, Seven Days!”
Find more information and a Challenge
scorecard at goodcitizenvt.com.
and this grantmaking partnership is an example
of just that.”
VTSCA’s strategic plan calls for a deepened
commitment to representing the insights
and perspectives of school counselors and the
students they serve. It also calls for an expansion
of the organization’s systemic work on
diversity, equity, and inclusion and the adoption
of the Vermont Comprehensive School
Counseling Framework. Through these efforts,
VTSCA will enhance its ability to provide
members with high-quality professional
learning, resources, and connections.
“Thank you to the McClure Foundation
and the Vermont Community Foundation for
the long-term commitment you are providing
Vermont students by supporting Vermont
school counselors,” says Lauren Conti on behalf
of VTSCA.
VTSCA imagines a Vermont education
system where students have equitable access
to social, emotional, and academic support in
inclusive schools with well-resourced school
counselors. It believes school counselors are
uniquely qualified and positioned to serve
students in their academic success, career and
college readiness, and social and emotional
development. For additional information

Patricia Mary (Hebert) Bussiere
Lovingly known as Pat or Patty, 77 passed
away on May 25 surrounded by her family
and extended family at Berlin Health
& Rehab. A special acknowledgement of
gratitude to the nurses, staff members &
residence at BHR for all the love and support
given to Pat during her 4-year stay.
She was very happy in her final years and
died peacefully surrounded by love. For
that her family is forever grateful.
Pat was born in Barre, VT on May 22, 1945, to Wilfred J.
Hebert & Florence M. Rollins of Williamstown where she
graduated from Williamstown High School in 1963. After
graduation she married her high school sweetheart Samuel R.
Bussiere in 1964. Together they raised three children and resided
in Lower Graniteville until Sam’s death. Later she married
Andy Monti of Barre, the two resided in Williamstown
until their health declined. The pair then spent their final years
in Berlin Health & Rehab.
She was employed at Sprague Electric & Vermont Department
of Education. Her favorite things in life were camping
at Groton State Park, finding blue tops in Wells Beach Maine,
Playing Hollywood bridge, bingo, dancing, and her teddy bear
collection. Pat loved making crafts as she was always known
to have a glue gun in her hand. She was especially known for
her homemade fudge and holiday gatherings with her family.
She is survived by her son Todd Bussiere, Judy & their two
daughters Shannon and Sammi Jo Bussiere. A son Troy and
his wife Rosalene Bussiere and step-grandchildren Melinda
& Branden Benoit. Two grandsons Justin & Nathan Drollette.
A niece Rebecca and her husband Donnie, their two children

Hebert. One niece Michelle Hebert.
Predeceased family members: Both her parents, both her
late husbands, her daughter Tammy Drollette, her brothers Michael
& Aime Hebert, a sister Bernadette M. (LaLa) Hebert.
A graveside service will be held on June 25 at St. Sylvester’s
Catholic Cemetery in Barre Town at 11:00. At that time,
we will also be doing memoriam for her daughter Tammy Jo
Bussiere whom will be buried with her during the service ceremony.
A celebration of life reception will follow at the Barre Town
Recreational Picnic area, where fellowship and a barbeque
will be offered to all Pat’s guests. A potluck or side dish is
welcome.

c/o Troy Bussiere 1176 US RT 302 E. Barre, VT 05649.
Ruth Mary Elliott (Ruthie) Donnelly
GRANITEVILLE, VT - Ruth Mary Elliott
(Ruthie) Donnelly, born on December
13, 1936 in Cleveland, Ohio, the
daughter of Yule Elliott and Hattie (Karle)
Elliott died May 27, 2022 at the age of
85.
Ruth spent her childhood and teenage
years in Cleveland, Ohio, graduating high
school from St. Joseph’s Academy in
1955. Her mother passed away when she
was only three years old. She was lovingly raised by her father
Yule and her devoted Aunt Mary. As a teenager, Ruth loved
sports and had the initial interest in becoming a sports writer,
a profession that women of her generation seldom pursued.
At age 18, she met her future husband and love of her life
William McCool (Bill) Donnelly. They married on September

years at the wonderfully caring Barre
Gardens nursing facility.

three children, Tammy, Mathew and Eli.
Brent attended Lyndon State College

He had several career tracks over the years, beginning in
human services, where he was especially gifted at serving atrisk

In the local restaurant scene throughout the 1990s, he was a
chef-baker at Oskar & Zeke’s, Capitol Grounds, White House,
Thrush Tavern, plus the State House and Goddard College cafeterias.
In 1998 he purchased Oskar & Zeke’s, and following
renovation and renaming the restaurant Cafe Delilah, he became
the chef, baker, and host for three years.
Around that time he launched Brent Gould Photography and
became known for unique portraiture and creative landscapes
featured in numerous shows in the area.
Brent was known by his long time coffee shop friends at
Capitol Grounds as a generous man and was admired for his
habit of never hesitating to call things as he saw them. His
quirky dry wit, poetry, amazing photographs, and essential
kindness will be dearly missed.
A gathering of his friends is being planned at which time
Brent’s final wishes will be honored: playing a video of the

life, where she will be free of pain, on

she took great pride in caring for her yard, garden and flower
beds. Working outside with her hands gave her great joy. She
found being by the ocean relaxing and enjoyed a slow paddle

time with her grandkids – her four little rascals. She made the
best homemade rolls in the land, always providing every family
event with plenty, where we would all fight over the last
one. She worked for the State of Vermont for 33 years.
She is survived by her children, Stephanie (Chris) and Nathaniel

for being the best mom they could ask for. Also, her supportive
siblings, Raymond Chouinard (Leona), Marcel Chouinard

and Robert Chouinard (Trish). There were many special nieces
and nephews she had the pleasure to watch grow up. She
leaves behind four very special grandchildren. They were her
world, Nora, McCoy, Merrill and Abigail. She worked so hard
to make the best memories she could with them and they will
forever cherish her.
We would like to especially thank everyone at Central Vermont
Medical Center Oncology Clinic. They were her second
family for 16 years and we are forever grateful for those extra
years their knowledge provided us with. We are immensely
thankful for Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice for
all of their support, especially Cat and Amanda who have both
been amazing.
In lieu of flowers, donations in her memory can be made to

From 1999 to 2018, the pharmaceutical and health product
industry (fondly known as Big Pharma) spent average of $233
million per year lobbying the US federal government; $414 million
on contributions to presidential and congressional electoral
candidates, national party committees, and outside spending
groups; and $877 million on contributions to state candidates
and committees. In 2021, Big Pharma upped its game by lavishing
over $356.5 million on American politicians. The industry
wields a large influence-peddling apparatus of 1,270 registered
lobbyists, 60 percent of whom are former government employees.
What does that kind of money buy?
Big Pharma first created and then fueled the opioid epidemic.
National epidemiological research shows that nearly
247,000 people died in the United States from overdoses
involving prescription opioids between the years 1999 and
2019. Today, overdose deaths due to opioids – including prescription
opioids, heroin, and synthetic opioids like fentanyl
– have risen over six times since 1999.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the biggest pharmaceutical
players worked hand in glove with the US government to
indiscriminately push an experimental mRNA gene therapy
on the entire population. Young and healthy segments of the
The Big Country (1958)
★★★★
Some Westerns show that violence in the Old West was
heroic and inevitable. Some Westerns argue that the
violence was horrific and regrettable, but these movies
(“Once Upon a Time in the West,” “Unforgiven”) still feature
a whole lot of fun violence.
“The Big Country” is a unique third way. It’s a utopian
fantasy where an unarmed man defeats all the bad guys with
just his wits and his morality.
It’s kind of like the Gospel of John, if the book ended with
Jesus convincing Pontius Pilate to resign and then taking over
as the benevolent ruler of Judea.
The film is original, engrossing,
well-acted, and pretty ridiculous.
It’s 1880s Texas. “The Big
Country” begins with retired Sea
Captain Jim McKay (Gregory Peck)
meeting up with his fiancée Patricia
Terrill. Patricia is the daughter of
Major Terrill: the richest rancher in
the county.
The odd couple met briefly out
east and fell in love. But now that
she’s seeing Jim back in her world,
she’s having second thoughts.
In lawless rural Texas, men bully
the new guy until he fights or draws
a gun. And Jim refuses to do either.
Everyone assumes he is a coward. But Jim is the bravest
among them.
And the wisest. Jim isn’t just a conscientious objector; he
has a plan to bring lasting peace to the region.
There is a decades-long war between the two main rancher
families: the rich, powerful Terrills and the poor, trashy
Hannasseys.
There are no police for hundreds of miles. So violent vigilantism
is the only law enforcement, and family feuds are
unavoidable. The two rival clans battle it out over access to
the all-important watering hole for their cattle.

population, who stood to gain no benefit from their products,
were harmed by them. VAERS is the primary governmentfunded
system for reporting adverse vaccine reactions in the
U.S. According to VAERS, COVID-19 injections have killed
28,312 Americans so far. The data includes 232,694 serious
injuries, including deaths, during the same time period – up by
2,330 compared with the previous week.
Did you hear about the mass protests against Big Pharma?
Me neither. Won’t happen. Instead, activists strung along by
their puppeteers in power turn on the ‘instant outrage generator’
and goad the unthinking masses to rail against imaginary
bogeymen: conservative justices, Christians, competent men.
Targeting the National Rifle Association (which spent an
embarrassing $4.8 million on lobbying last year) is back in
vogue. There has been a lot of outrage from both sides of the
political aisle about the NRA (it’s not called ‘uniparty’ for
nothing), but not a sound about the horrfying trail of murder
that Big Pharma continues to leave in its wake. Impunity –
that’s what $356.5 million buys.

Scam Alert: Beware of “Couriers” Collecting Cash In Family Emergency
Attorney General T. J. Donovan is warning Vermonters
about a new variation of the family emergency scam in which
scammers are demanding that cash be handed over in person
to a “courier.” By presenting a fake emergency in which their
loved one needs help getting out of trouble, scammers pressure
panicked family members, including grandparents, into
acting before they can realize it’s a scam. Until recently,
scammers took a hands-off approach in collecting money,
demanding gift cards, wire transfers, or virtual payments.
Now, the Attorney General’s Consumer Assistance Program
(CAP) is receiving reports that scammers are enlisting “couriers”
to collect cash directly from unsuspecting family members
at their homes to resolve the fake emergency. Vermonters
who receive these calls should resist the urge to act immediately
and take steps to verify the caller’s identity.
“These scenarios are designed by scammers to be emotional
and high pressure,” said Attorney General Donovan. “If
you are presented with this type of scenario—pause; hang up
the phone; and call a friend or family member to verify. Do
not give money to someone coming to your home. Instead,
call local law enforcement and the Consumer Assistance
Program to identify and report the scam.”
While the family emergency scam has long plagued
Vermonters, CAP is raising awareness about the spread of
“couriers” coming to Vermonters’ homes to collect cash. CAP
has received 216 reports of family emergency scams since the
beginning of the year. In the last week, CAP has received 4
family emergency scam reports from Vermonters who were
told that an individual or a “courier” would retrieve cash from
them at their homes—3 of these scams resulted in monetary

loss. Common elements of this scam include:
• Claims of a “gag order” being in place which requires
secrecy.
• Cash is needed to pay for a “bond” or a “bail bond agent.”
• A loved one was involved in a “car accident,” sometimes
related to traveling for a COVID-19 test.
CAP has found that scammers are becoming more sophisticated
in their contacts and appear to be using internet
searches and public social media profiles to research the locations
of family members. By searching telephone numbers
and addresses on the internet and scanning popular social
media sites, scammers can learn about familial relationships,
ages, and geographic locations. Scammers then use this information
to make the scam seem credible.
CAP advises Vermonters to slow down and follow a plan to
not get scammed. Use the SLOW method in urgent situations:
S – SLOW DOWN. Scammers pressure you to act urgently.
Take time to regain your calm.
L – LOG THE CONTACT. Write down the phone number
of the contact and disengage.
O – ONE CALL. Make one call to a primary contact, such as
a friend or family member, and discuss the incident.
W – WHO CARES? Call CAP to identify and report scams
at 1-800-649-2424.
If you or someone you know has lost money to this scam,
contact law enforcement and report the scam to CAP at 1-800-
649-2424. Learn more about family emergency scams by
watching CAP’s Avoiding the Family Emergency Scam video

Jim refuses to fight along with the
Terrill gang. He observes that the feud is
nothing more than a battle of wills between
the two stubborn patriarchs: Major Terrill
and Rufus Hannassey.
Gregory Peck’s Jim is so saintly that the
audience can’t really relate to him.
Legendary director William Wyler understood
that. The unexpected emotional center
of “The Big Country” is old, gruff
Rufus Hannassey (Burl Ives).
Ives earned his only Oscar by showing
us how even gang leaders in the Old West
were victims of the culture of violence.
Rufus raised his clan in a lawless,
uncivilized region and now he’s suffering
with the consequences. His own sons are drunken macho
primates.
To his existential horror, Rufus ends up siding with Jim
Mckay over his own children.
In “The Big Country,” life never feels cheap. I don’t think
a single man even gets shot during the first two hours.
The great William Wyler gave us a completely unique
vision: a society with plenty of guns and no police where
good men keep order with their words and their morality. I
don’t believe that this could ever happen in real life but it was
neat to see it on screen.

By Linda Johnson, Executive Director, Prevent Child
Abuse Vermont
It is difficult to comprehend that there is yet another mass
murder of children in our country. Nonetheless, a young
18-year-old boy who appears to have been bullied, dropped
out of school, was unemployed, fighting with his parents and
without a plan for his future, has committed the unthinkable.
In his hands a weapon of war, an AR-15 machine gun, created
for soldiers on the battlefield, not a classroom, ended the lives
of 19 human beings.
Guns are now the leading cause of death among children
and adolescents in our country. This is the ultimate form of
child abuse. Although gun laws are controversial, and we are
divided on the changes that need to be made, political leaders
across this country need to take action to restrict gun ownership
in order to keep children and youth safe.
Guns in the home increase the risk of youth accidental
death, fatalities resulting from familial disagreements, and
youth and adult suicide! Additionally, guns make situations
like home invasion more deadly. If you or someone you are
close to owns gun, ask: Is it necessary to be a gun owner, and
if so, why?
If you do own a gun and are rethinking your decision, consider
looking into a gun buyback program and ALWAYS making
sure that it is always stored safely. Take care that it is safely
locked up, with the ammunition stored in a separate place.
There are gun safety classes available to gun owners as well.
Gun Violence Is Child Abuse
State Reviewing Safety and Security Supports for Vermont Schools
By CompassVermont.com
In the wake of the recent school shooting in Uvalde, Texas,
and several concerning reports in Vermont, the Agency of Education
and Department of Public Safety are reviewing and updating
state safety and security supports for Vermont schools.
This type of review occurs regularly and is especially important
any time there is a critical incident or threat affecting
schools in Vermont or in the wake of national events.
“Our first responsibility is to do whatever we can to reduce
the likelihood of a serious threat to the safety of Vermont students,”
said Secretary of Education Dan French. “I urge Vermont
school leaders to continue to work with the Vermont
School Safety Center and School Crisis Planning team to ensure
our schools are prepared and have the tools they need to prevent
and respond to school safety threats while also supporting the
mental health and social-emotional needs of their communities.
Our goal is not only for students, staff, and teachers to be safe at
school, but to feel secure in their learning environment.”
One simple thing we can all do to address problems before
they begin is to simply speak up when one sees concerning
behavior. The “See Something, Say Something” campaign encourages
students to talk with adults if they are aware of other
students considering harming themselves or others. This is one
of the key programs of the Vermont School Safety Center.
The Vermont School Safety Center was organized in 2016
by the Vermont Department of Public Safety and Agency of
Education to provide safety resources and planning assistance
to schools and districts (https://schoolsafety.vermont.gov/planning).
The Vermont School Crisis Planning Team is a task force
consisting of state, federal, and local leaders in education, public
safety, mental health, and other specialties who guide school
safety efforts in the state.
“Our statewide approach to school safety is designed to create
a fabric of initiatives and funding to do everything possible
to prevent critical incidents by enabling early identification of
hazards and threats, and to respond swiftly and decisively in the
event of an incident,” said Public Safety Commissioner Michael
Schirling.
In the past three years the state of Vermont has dedicated
nearly $6 million to enhance school safety through capital improvements
and training for school administrators and staff.
Training focuses primarily on violence prevention and preparing
for a response in the event of an incident. These initiatives
were informed by a statewide survey completed by school administrators
who were asked to identify areas for improvement
and investment in security and planning.
Synopsis of recent investments and initiatives:
Behavioral Threat Assessment Training
$357,480 in federal grant funding has been utilized to provide
training to schools to establish at least one threat assessment
subject matter expert. Behavioral threat assessment is a process
designed to identify, analyze, and manage threats to prevent violence.
School staff and administrators were trained in behavioral
threat assessment and administrators were taught how to teach
their staff how to recognize risks.
School Safety and Security Grant Program
Governor Phil Scott and the Vermont legislature allocated a
total of $5.4 million in the state’s 2018 and 2019 capital budget
to enable Vermont schools and supervisory unions to install

Hunting for food makes sense. In Australia, people store
their hunting rifles at their local police stations and sign them
out during hunting season. This way, they are protecting their
family from accidental tragedy and still continuing their tradition
of hunting.
The Second Amendment was written at a time when guns
were one shot at a time blunderbusses. We were in the middle
of a war on our soil and militia groups were actively participating
in this revolution. This Amendment was one that
needed amending a very long time ago… probably more than
200 years ago give or take. The founding leaders of our nation
could never have imagined the types of military weapons now
in the hands of Americans, young and old. Honestly, they
could not have foreseen the now common killing of children
from stray bullets, mass murders of children in schools, citizens
sitting in houses of worship, or grocery stores.
I know I am far from alone in thinking we must change this,
and we must be very brave now about forming our much more
perfect union. If our nation does not allow for the safety of its
children, youth and all folks then what have we created?
Healthy, safe communities that protect children are in line
with the rights of “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”
that the founders of our nation intended. It is time to use every
one of our voices to consider what we need to do about this
overwhelming gun problem. It is one that is killing our children
and our future as a society. Child abuse is preventable
and gun violence is child abuse.
equipment and implement building upgrades to enhance security.
Priority was given to exterior and interior door locking
mechanisms and public address systems to ensure all those in
and outside school buildings can be informed of an emergency.
Other improvements funded through these grants include security
cameras, window shading and other projects. More than 700
improvements at more than 250 schools were funded through
the program.
School Safety Anonymous Tip Line
A $173,000 Department of Justice grant established a comprehensive
communication system designed to provide students,
school personnel, or other members of the public with
a safe and anonymous or confidential way to report a threat or
potential threat to student or school safety.www.Safe4vt.org

SurviVermont
SurviVermont educates Vermonters about what they can do
to protect themselves and their family members if they are confronted
with an Active Shooter or Violent Threat situation in
any setting. It combines three easy-to-remember concepts from
established federal public safety programs: See Something,
Say Something (campaign to encourage students to talk with
adults if they are aware of other students considering harming
themselves or others); Run, Hide and Fight; and Stop the Bleed
(grassroots effort that encourages bystanders to become trained,
equipped, and empowered to help in a bleeding emergency before
professional help arrives.)
Training, Exercise, and Drill Guidance
The Vermont School Safety Center hosts trainings (https://
schoolsafety.vermont.gov/training) throughout the year focusing
on preparedness, awareness, and response. Subjects include,
de-escalation, family reunification, tabletop exercises, optionsbased
response (Run, Hide, Fight) and more. The VSSC also
offers schools recommendations and guidance in the conduct
of egress, fire, violent intruder, and school bus evacuation drills
(https://schoolsafety.vermont.gov/exercises).
Vermont School Crisis Planning, Training, and Exercise
Initiative
A 2018 statewide safety assessment of 422 schools conducted
by local, county, and state law enforcement in partnership
with Vermont schools identified school crisis planning, training
and exercise strengths and opportunities for improvement
in schools. Regional workshops were held in the following
months, and trainings and tabletop exercises developed in the
following months to address areas for improvement.
Planning Resources
The VSSC website (https://schoolsafety.vermont.gov/) offers
all schools guidance on Emergency Operation Plan development,
the state School Crisis Planning Guide, and communication
templates among other tools.
More information on these resources can be found on the
Vermont School Safety Center website at https://schoolsafety.
vermont.gov/.

ARIES (March 21 to
April 19) A recent spate
of confusion regarding
decision-making begins
to clear up. But caution is
still advised. Continue to
check details. An old friend has important news.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) You’re anxious to see
your ideas move from concept to development. But trying
to force the issue right now could backfire. Wait for
movement to resume shortly.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Keep your thoughts focused
on the positive as you deal with an unexpected turn
of events in a personal or professional relationship. This
could be the start of a welcome change.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Health matters take on
added importance at this time. Deal with them before
they interfere with your summer plans. A relationship that
cooled off could soon warm up again.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) While a few details involving
upcoming decisions still need your attention, you
fun-loving Felines can begin to spend more time enjoying
your lively social life again.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) That long-soughtafter
career change could require you to move to another
city. Weigh your decision carefully before either accepting
or rejecting the offer out of hand.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) A workplace situation
can be awkward for Librans who prefer to keep their
problems private. But you might have to “tell-all” if you
hope to see it resolved in your favor.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Although your
financial situation starts to improve this week, you still
need to be cautious about money matters. Avoid major
obligations, for now.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Your
overall aspects continue to brighten, allowing you to
tackle long-deferred challenges. A change in travel plans
could work to your benefit.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Things seem
to be slowing down for the usually restless Sea Goat. But
wouldn’t a bit of respite be just what you need right now?
Activity picks up by the weekend.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Personal relationships
take a positive turn for both married and single
Aquarians. Professional commitments, however, could be
complicated by newly emerging events.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) A decision you
thought was final might be reopened as new facts are
discovered. This could lead to a short-term problem, but
ultimately might prove beneficial.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your keen interest in pursuing
global events could lead you into a career as a politician
or journalist.

How to Become a Father
Who Knows Best
With Father’s Day approaching, guys expecting to be dads for
the first time have been asking me for some parenting tips—so
let’s see if I can help dads-to-be get ready for their taking on this
new role.
Ask questions and learn: First guys, if you are somewhat anxious
or overwhelmed about welcoming a new baby into your
home be reassured, you are not alone and it’s normal. If you feel
you don’t know anything about babies, there are online videos
you can download and childbirth classes available in many communities
– some are even designed for dads only – that teach you
everything from how to hold a baby to how to change a diaper,
not to mention proper installation of a car seat and childproofing
of your home. The good thing about those classes is that you
meet other dads-to-be who feel just as anxious as you do, and the
teachers know this and encourage any and all questions, no matter
how hesitant you may be to ask them.
Remember to have fun: Don’t worry about whether or not you
will be a good dad—since any new role requires learning with
experience. Don’t worry either that being a father means an end
to having time for fun. You can certainly have fun playing with
your baby – but you can also find time for your partner and yourself
either when your infant is asleep or through the magic of
having a friend or relative babysit. If you enjoy the outdoors, you
can take your baby along with the help of a baby carrier.
Be a good parenting partner: It’s important to remember that
you can do everything your partner can do except breastfeed –
although you need to be just as much a supportive champion for
breastfeeding as mom is. In addition, given that parenting a baby
is a shared experience, be sure to do just that, whether it’s changing,
diapering or bottle-feeding pumped breast milk in the middle
of the night while mom sleeps. Doing these things yourself will
allow you to develop your own unique style that will make sure
your infant knows from the start that you’re essential to the mix
just as much as mom is. In turn, you’ll love parenting and truly
understand why Father’s Day is celebrated this month, not just
for your own dad but for the dad you are about to be.
Hopefully, tips like theste will help everyone go father, I mean
farther, when it comes to striving to be a terrific dad for your new
baby.

Father’s Day Gift Ideas
No sooner have you nailed the perfect Mother’s Day gift when
Don’t fret, however, since there’s a perfect gift out there
for any type of dad. Here are a few key suggestions.
OUTDOORSY DAD
The Bernzomatic trigger-start torch is a compact lighter
that makes starting a fire a whole lot more fun. This propane-fueled
tool is actually powerful enough to handle the
occasional light welding. Get him a Yeti Rambler 30-ounce
tumbler, and it’ll become his standby since vacuum insulation
keeps coffee hot or beverages cold for hours during any
camping trip. And it fits in his vehicle’s cupholder along the
way.
JET-SETTING DAD
The Orvis Battenkill duffle is rugged and roomy, and you
can have it engraved with his initials. If your dad prefers a
larger suitcase, consider the Eagle Creek Pack-It Cube set.
It’s great for organizing everything, and actually makes room
for more stuff.
INFO-JUNKIE DAD
Help your dad keep up with all of his vitals in real time
with the Fitbit Charge 5, including heart-rate, sleep and
stress monitoring, EKG and blood-oxygen levels. (He’ll find
settings for 20 different workouts, too.) The TaoTronics desk
lamp illuminates the tiniest of print whether dad is working
at home or back in the office. It boasts a warm, natural
like-like glow and can double as a Zoom light when he’s
otherwise backlit.
ALWAYS-PREPARED DAD
Hilife’s handheld garment steamer will ensure that your
dad is always looking his best, even on the go. It’s small
Father’s Day arrives.
enough to fit in a suitcase, but heats up so fast that he’ll never
be late for another hastily called Zoom meeting. Meanwhile,
the Kaito KA500 radio can be an essential emergencypreparedness
tool in the event of a black out. This shortwave
radio features multi-source power options, including outlet,
USB, battery, solar, even hand crank — and it’s water resistant,
in case you were plunged into darkness by a particularly
nasty storm.
HOMEBODY DAD
The Amazon Echo Show is a speaker, a monitor, a smarthome
appliance hub, and a video caller — all in one. So if he
needs to turn down the thermostat while rocking his favorite
playlist during a phone call with mom, he’s all set. You can
also help your father battle back against razor burn with the
Tend Skin liquid care solution. Its astringent, fragrance-free
formula ensure that it works without smelling too “pretty.”

Weight loss ads must reflect

DMV Enforcement to Conduct
Additional Patrols in Work Zones
This Summer
The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Enforcement
will be conducting additional patrols within work
zones throughout the state during summer construction season,
including the project on I-89 northbound and southbound
in Richmond south of exit 11. The reduced speed limit in this
work zone has been posted as 55 mph. In recent days, passenger
vehicles have been seen following construction vehicles
clearly marked “CONSTRUCTION VEHICLE DO NOT
FOLLOW.” This lack of attention creates great risk for the
workers within the work zone and also creates risk to vehicles
in the travel lane when the passenger vehicle merges back into
traffic.
DMV Enforcement reminds
the traveling public
that speeding fines are double
in work zones. Please slow
down within work zones,
obey the posted reduced
speed limits, follow the signs,
and leave plenty of reactionary
distance between your vehicle
and the vehicle in front
of you.

Protect Grassland Birds by Mowing Later
Bobolinks, Savannah sparrows and
eastern meadowlarks enrich our summers
with their songs, but some of these
species are in decline due to the loss of
appropriate grassland habitat.
Landowners can make a difference by
altering the times of year they mow
fields. The Vermont Fish and Wildlife
Department is encouraging landowners
to help these beloved species by waiting
a little longer to mow to give these birds
a chance to complete their nesting season.
“People maintain fields and meadows
in Vermont for a variety of reasons, from
commercial hayfields and grazing pastures,
to simple scenic beauty,” said
Doug Morin, biologist for the Vermont
Fish and Wildlife Department. “Mowing
is the most common way to maintain
grasses, but if mowed early in the summer,
grassland birds will lose their nests

and chicks.”
Bobolinks build nests among the
grasses and wildflowers of fields and
meadows. When bobolinks are present,
other grassland bird species such
as Savannah sparrows and grasshopper
sparrows, may also be nesting
among the grasses. Deer fawns, wild
turkey chicks, and other animals take
refuge in the grass and are also at risk
by mowing too early.
According to Morin, landowners
who mow their fields for aesthetic
reasons can maintain these fields and
accommodate nesting birds simply by
cutting later in the summer, preferably
after August 1.
Landowners who have fields can help
protect grassland birds such as bobolinks
by delaying mowing until August.
