General Election Is

Tuesday, Nov. 8!

Biden-Harris Administration Announces

More Than $4.3 Million from EPA’s

Clean School Bus Program for Four

Vermont School Districts

The Biden-Harris Administration announced

the Fiscal Year 2022 recipients of

the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s

(EPA) Clean School Bus Program rebate competition,

awarding $4,345,000 from President

Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to four

school districts in Vermont. The grants will

help school districts purchase 11 clean school

buses that will accelerate the transition to zero

emissions vehicles and produce cleaner air in

and around schools and communities.

Vice President Kamala Harris and EPA

Administrator Michael S. Regan will join

schoolchildren, district leaders and community

members in Seattle, Washington, later to

make the announcement and highlight how it

will reduce greenhouse gas emissions, save

schools money, and better protect children’s

health. The investment will also drive demand

for American-made batteries and vehicles,

boost domestic manufacturing, and create

good-paying jobs.

“President Biden’s historic Bipartisan Infrastructure

Law is accelerating our nation’s

transition to electric and low-emission school

buses while ensuring a brighter, healthier future

for our children,” said EPA Administrator

Michael S. Regan. “As many as 25 million

children rely on the bus to get to school each

day. Thanks to the Biden-Harris Administration,

we are making an unprecedented investment

in our children’s health, especially those

in communities overburdened by air pollution.

This is just the beginning of our work to

build a healthier future, reduce climate pollution,

and ensure the clean, breathable air that

all our children deserve.”

“With the new Clean School Bus program,

EPA is delivering significant funding to Vermont

school districts for clean electric school

buses, with a particular focus on reducing air

pollution in areas with a large proportion of

historically-disadvantaged communities with

priority needs,” said EPA New England Regional

Administrator David W. Cash. “These

zero-emission vehicles will help provide

cleaner and healthier air for school children,

and reduce greenhouse gas emissions that

contribute to climate change.”

The announcement includes funding for

buses and infrastructure for the following

school districts in Vermont:

• White River Valley Supervisory Union/Royalton,

three school buses, $1,185,000

• Windsor Central Modified Unified Union

School District/Woodstock, three school buses,

$1,185,000

• Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union/

Taconic and Green Regional School District/

Sunderland, four school buses, $1,580,000

• Caledonia Central Supervisory Union/Danville,

one school bus, $395,000

“Electrifying our transportation system

is critical to our efforts to combat climate

change, which is why it has been a priority

for my administration,” said Vermont Governor

Phil Scott. “We need to continue investing

in greener transportation, and we can’t do it

alone, which is why I’m grateful to the EPA

and our federal partners for their collaboration

and commitment to these efforts.”

“After fighting hard to make sure Vermont

got its fair share in the infrastructure bill, I

am glad to see this important federal investment

go to work today to protect the health

of our students, our communities, and our

environment. Making the switch from dirty

diesel-powered buses to clean, zero-emission

school buses is not only good for the environment

and our air quality, but will in fact

help schools and taxpayers save money in the

long term. The work does not end here and

as a member of the Environment and Public

Works committee, I will continue to find ways

to safeguard our young people, strengthen our

schools, protect our environment, and combat

the existential threat of climate change.

Congratulations to White River Valley Supervisory

Union, Windsor Central Supervisory

Union, Taconic and Green Regional School

District, and Caledonia Central Supervisory

Union on today’s awards,” said U.S. Senator

Bernie Sanders.

“The grant funding from the Clean School

Bus Rebate program will allow Vermont

schools to transition to zero-emission busses,

protecting our environment and reducing

health risks for our kids,” said U.S. Representative

Peter Welch. “I’m thrilled to have

worked with Senators Leahy and Sanders to

deliver this critical funding to Vermont.”

In May, EPA announced the availability of

$500 million for its Clean School Bus Program.

Given overwhelming demand from

school districts across the country, including

in low-income communities, Tribal nations,

and territories, EPA nearly doubled

the amount of funding that will be awarded

to $965 million. The rebate application period

closed in August with an outstanding

response from school districts seeking to purchase

electric and low-emission school buses

across the country.

At this time, the agency has selected 389

applications totaling $913 million to support

the purchase of 2,463 buses, 95% of which

will be electric. EPA will distribute awards to

school districts in all 50 states, Washington

D.C., along with several federally recognized

Tribes and U.S. territories. School districts

identified as priority areas serving low-income,

rural, and, or Tribal students make up

99% of the projects that were selected. More

applications are under review, and the agency

plans to select more to reach the full $965 million

in the coming weeks.

Those school districts who received an

award can now proceed with purchasing new

buses and eligible infrastructure. Selectees

will need to submit Payment Request Forms

with purchase orders demonstrating they have

ordered new buses and eligible infrastructure.

EPA is also partnering with the U.S. Department

of Energy and Department of Transportation

to provide school districts with robust

technical assistance to ensure effective implementation.

These awards are the first $1 billion of a

five-year, $5 billion program created by President

Biden’s Bipartisan Infrastructure Law.

EPA is also designing the next rounds of program

funding to launch in the coming months,

which will include an ambitious grant competition.

Through future rounds of funding, EPA

will make available another $1 billion for

clean school buses in Fiscal Year 2023. EPA

encourages school districts not selected in the

first round of rebates – and those that did not

apply this funding cycle – to participate in future

rounds.

About the Clean School Bus Rebate

Program

The Clean School Bus Program will reduce

greenhouse gas emissions, save money

for school districts and produce cleaner air.

Diesel air pollution is linked to asthma and

other conditions that harm students’ health

and cause them to miss school, particularly

in communities of color and Tribal communities.

Phasing out these diesel engines will

ensure cleaner air for students, bus drivers,

and school staff working near the bus loading

areas, and the communities through which the

buses drive each day. The reduction in greenhouse

gas emissions from these bus replacements

will also help to address the outsized

role of the transportation sector in fueling the

climate crisis. The program will also save

school districts money as they upgrade school

bus fleets, replacing older, heavily polluting

buses with brand new clean school buses,

while freeing up needed resources for schools.

The 2022 Clean School Bus Rebates prioritize

low-income, rural, and Tribal communities.

The vast majority of applicants met

the priority definition under the 2022 Clean

School Bus Rebates criteria, resulting in access

to more funds for buses and electric vehicle

infrastructure for schools in areas that

need them the most. The program also delivers

on President Biden’s Justice40 Initiative,

which aims to deliver 40% of the overall benefits

of certain federal investments to disadvantaged

communities that are marginalized,

underserved and overburdened by pollution.

National Life Group and Sodexo continue the annual tradition

of giving away free to-go Thanksgiving dinners in collaboration

with area organizations and volunteers for pick-up

or delivery. Both traditional turkey and vegetarian meals will

be available.

This is the third year of offering this unique tradition, which

began at the height of the pandemic in 2020 after the annual

community meal hosted by Washington County Youth Service

Bureau was cancelled. Last year, 1,000 meals were given

away. This year a higher need is anticipated.

How it works:

Participants must reserve a free meal ahead of time and

anyone interested in volunteering can do so by calling 802-

229-7300 or e-mailing giving@nationallife.com by the end of

the day on November 17.

Pick-up will be between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Wednesday,

November 23 at two locations:

• Outside Bethany Church, located at 115 Main St., Montpelier.

This option is walk-up.

• Outside the National Life Group main entrance, located at 1

National Life Drive, Montpelier. This option is drive-through

only. Participants are asked to remain in their cars, while volunteers

will bring out meals to them.

Delivery to home addresses will be offered on Wednesday,

November 23, between 10 a.m. and 1 p.m. Home deliveries

will be a doorstop drop. Please note: Participants requesting

delivery are asked to detail any specific instructions for delivery

drivers to know where to leave the meal during the sign

up process.

“In this season of giving, National Life Group is honored to

uphold the tradition for a third year in living our values to Do

good, Be good and Make good,” National Life Group Chairman,

CEO and President Mehran Assadi said.

Community partners include: Bethany Church, Capstone,

Chappelle’s, Black River Produce, Hollister Hill Farm, Community

Harvest of Central Vermont, Hannaford, Central Vermont

Medical Center, Hunger Mountain Coop, King Arthur

Flour, Two Sons, Shaws, Cabot Cheese and Vermont Creamery.

In the spirit of giving, the National Life Do Good Cupboard,

located at 58 Barre Street in front of the Montpelier

Senior Activity Center, is always hungry for donations.

Agency of Transportation Announces Second

Annual “Name a Plow” Program

The Vermont Agency of

Transportation (AOT) is once

again inviting Vermont schools

to name the state’s big orange

snowplows.

Last year, participating public

and private schools, homeschooling

students, and nursery

schools named 163 of the

state’s fleet of full-sized plow

trucks. This year, AOT is asking

Vermont’s students to name the remaining 87

trucks in the fleet

“This program was a great success last year,

and now we’re asking students across the

state to name the rest of the plow trucks,” said

Transportation Secretary Joe Flynn. “Naming

the plows is exciting and fun for students and

for us, and it’s also an effective way to teach

young people about the important work we do

to keep the roads safe for travel throughout

the winter.”

To enter the Name a Plow program, the

school’s principal or director should complete

the online form on the AOT website at https://

vtrans.vermont.gov/name-a-plow.

• Each school may submit only one name.

This is not a contest; every school that submits

a name will participate. (First come, first

served to name the remaining trucks.)

• Schools that participated last year may not

Vermonters Can Remove Junk Cars for

Cash and Compliance

Amid inflation and high prices, Vermonters

can make extra cash by removing their junk

cars. In 2015, the State of Vermont created the

Salvage Yard Rule (bit.ly/SY-Rule) to protect

human health and the environment by ensuring

the safe, proper, and sustainable operation

of salvage yards (aka junk yards). Vermonters

with four or more unregistered and uninspected

cars or vehicles (or other junk) on their

property need a Salvage Yard Permit.

The Vermont Department of Environmental

Conservation (DEC) has ramped up efforts

to clean up unpermitted salvage yards and to

help more Vermonters follow the state’s rules.

“More often than not, Vermonters who find

out that they are not in compliance choose to

follow the rules. They go on to apply for a

permit, remove or donate their vehicles, or

register and inspect their vehicles,” said DEC

Commissioner John Beling. “We do, however,

see cases where compliance is not met, and

we need to take enforcement actions, which

can include requiring penalty payments.”

The DEC has a few tips for Vermonters

who want to follow the rules and get paid too:

1. Contact a nearby permitted salvage yard

(bit.ly/VT-SY) to arrange a pickup or to drop

off vehicles.

• Salvage yards will often pick up vehicles

for free and may offer cash for scrap metal.

• Remove any trash from vehicles and get

vehicles ready and accessible for pick up.

• Note that vehicles less than 15 years old

need the title to transfer the vehicle to a salvage

yard. Vehicles that are 15 years old or

older do not need the title to transfer.

2. Use a towing service to bring vehicles to a

salvage yard. Towing companies may accept

the value of the scrap metal as payment for

the towing service.

3. Reach out to DEC to get help with calling

and coordinating the removal of vehicles.

Contact DEC Accessible Assistance

Specialist, Jackie Peterson, at 802-461-7182

or Jacqueline.Peterson@vermont.gov.

4. Donate vehicles, boats, or campers to Good

News Garage (bit.ly/GNG-Donation) or

Sierra Club Foundation (bit.ly/SCF-Donation)

and they will pick up for free. Receive a tax

deduction as well. To learn more, call Good

News Garage at 877-448-3288 or Sierra Club

Foundation at 855-337-4377.

5. Register and inspect vehicles.

6. Become a permitted salvage yard.

• To become a permitted salvage yard,

fill out and obtain a Certificate of Approved

Location (bit.ly/VT-COAL) from the town

where the salvage yard is located. Then, fill

out an application (bit.ly/SYP-Permit), submit

it to the Vermont Salvage Yard Program

(bit.ly/VT-SYP), and pay the annual permit

fee.

If Vermonters do not follow the salvage

yard rules, they can face civil penalties. However,

prompt correction may lessen the possibility

or severity of any enforcement actions.

For more information about salvage yards,

permits, rules, and more, visit the Salvage

Yard Program webpage (bit.ly/VT-SYP). If

Lawson’s Finest Sunshine

Fund Donates to Waterbury

Ambulance Service,

Nov. 1-15, 2022

Lawson’s Finest Liquids of Waitsfield has selected Waterbury

Ambulance Service Inc. as a November donation recipient

through its Sunshine Fund program. From November 1

through 15, donations made at Lawson’s Finest Liquids taproom

in Waitsfield will benefit Waterbury Ambulance Service.

Community members are encouraged to visit Lawson’s taproom

to enjoy a hearty brew, a bite to eat and fantastic customer

service.

Lawson’s Finest launched the Sunshine Fund in 2018 when

they opened their Waitsfield brewery, taproom and retail store.

The Sunshine Fund harnesses the generosity of taproom guests

with the goal of helping local communities thrive. Lawson’s

Finest provides their staff with living wages and generous benefits

so there is no tip obligation in the taproom. However, if

guests choose to leave a donation 100% is given to local charitable

endeavors. Waterbury Ambulance Service is thrilled to

receive the support of the taproom and its guests.

“The Sunshine Fund allows us to support organizations that

provide essential services to Washington County residents to

ensure healthy, thriving and sustainable communities,” said

co-owner Karen Lawson.

Since 1971, Waterbury Ambulance Service has served Waterbury,

Waterbury Center, Duxbury and parts of Moretown.

Waterbury Ambulance responds to an average of 700 emergency

calls per year. In 2021 it was honored to be named Vermont’s

Ambulance Service of the Year. During the COVID-19

pandemic Waterbury Ambulance Service stepped up to respond

to the need for testing and vaccines. To date, Waterbury

Ambulance Service has administered over 150,000 COVID-19

tests and over 65,000 COVID-19 vaccinations while also continuing

to respond to EMS calls in Waterbury, Duxbury, and

Moretown and assisting nearby services with mutual aid when

called upon. In addition, Waterbury Backcountry Rescue is a

division of Waterbury Ambulance Service with trained volunteers

skilled in emergency response in Vermont’s rugged

outdoors. The backcountry team heads out to mountain trails,

streams, etc. on 20-30 calls each year to safely assist those

who become lost or injured in the wilderness.

Waterbury Ambulance Service is driven by a dedicated

group of 30 volunteers with the support of three full-time paid

staff and several per-diem employees. Waterbury Ambulance

Service is a 501c3 nonprofit organization and relies on donors

to accomplish their mission. Those contributions make it possible

to respond daily to 911 as well as provide a variety of

trainings, including community CPR, First Aid and Stop the

Bleed. Waterbury Ambulance Service is an active Car Seat Fitting

Station.

Waterbury Ambulance Service has anticipated the need for

a new facility for years and has saved prudently in recognition

of this long-term need. The total cost for the Station Creation

Project is 3 million dollars. Being fiscally responsible, along

with additional funding from COVID-19 response and donations

Waterbury has raised $2,4000,000, 80% of the goal for

this project. An additional $600,000 is necessary to complete

it. The funds from Lawson’s Finest Sunshine Fund will go

directly toward the Waterbury Ambulance Station Creation

Project.

As if you needed more convincing – don’t miss out on Lawson’s

Finest Tuesday Night Music Series featuring great local

musicians. Their seasonal menu will keep you warm with light

fare made with local ingredients like Nona’s Pasta Fagioli,

paired perfectly with a delightful kale salad and Mad River

Maple beer.

A visit to Lawson’s Finest taproom between Nov. 1 and 15

will give you a chance to support the hardworking first responders

at Waterbury Ambulance Service and raise money for

their new building. It also is a great time of year to kick back

with favorite and seasonal brews and enjoy some live music –

Tuesday Tunes 5-7 p.m. have some Vermont artist gems on the

lineup. And of course, sample the latest light fare on the menu

made with local ingredients like a delicious hummus plate, an

Italian roast pork sandwich, Green Mountain Twisters Pretzels

alongside Vermont Creamery butter and mustard.

A visit to the taproom at 155 Carroll Road, Waitsfield, is

a chance to get out to enjoy delicious brews, food and music

with friendly customer service while supporting those who are

ready 24/7 to respond when needed.

Check out waterburyambulance.org online to learn more

about how donations support Waterbury Ambulance Service

Con Hogan Awardee Joe Wiah:

Immigrants are Key to Vermont’s Future

Joe Wiah was honored with this year’s

$15,000 Con Hogan award. The annual award

recognizes Con’s life’s work by rewarding a

community leader who shares his vision of a

better Vermont and who seizes the responsibility

for making that vision a reality. The

award, to be used however the recipient

chooses, is given to a leader who shows deep

community involvement, generosity, enthusiasm,

a collaborative approach, and a focus on

data and outcomes in his or her work.

Wiah, a former refugee from war-torn

Liberia, is Director of the Ethiopian

Community Development Council’s (ECDC)

Multicultural Community Center in

Brattleboro where he coordinates with community

organizations, government, and individuals

to help refugees integrate into community

life in Southern Vermont.

In his acceptance remarks at the ceremony

at the Vermont College of Fine Arts on

September 28th, Wiah asked listeners to educate

themselves about refugees and immigrants.

“These are intelligent and creative

people whose dreams are not different from

ours,” he said. “I didn’t have to educate

myself. I experienced it.”

Wiah highlighted that in addition to our

obligation to help those fleeing persecution

and crisis, the economic benefits to Vermont

provide a strong reason for the state to invite

refugees to come here. Quoting a Federal

Reserve Bank of Dallas economist, he said,

“When immigrants enter the labor force, they

increase the productive capacity of the economy

as a whole.” And citing data about

Vermont’s relatively high percentage of

retirement-age Vermonters, “We have less

people going into the workforce and more

getting out. As Con may have said if he were

here with us: ‘The numbers do not lie.’”

“From the figures provided, [welcoming]

refugees coming to Vermont is not only a

moral obligation, but economic survival for

our state. So we should continue asking ourselves:

What kind of Vermont do we want to

see?”

To watch the video of the event including

Wiah’s remarks and get additional information

about the Con Hogan Award please visit

vermontcf.org/conhogan2022. The nomination

deadline for next year’s award will be

Thursday, June 29, 2023.

Members of the Con Hogan Award committee

are Will Belongia, Paul Cillo, Steve

Dale, Scott Johnson, Ellen Kahler, Jane

Kimble, Dr. Etan Nasreddin-Longo, Jericho

Parms, Arnold Isidore Thomas, and Diana

Wahle.

Attorney General Resolves Claims of

Deception by Caregiver Staffing Agency

• • •

The Vermont Attorney General’s Office

has reached a settlement with a New

Hampshire-based staffing agency that

employed a temporary caregiver to multiple

Vermont long-term care facilities despite

knowing that the caregiver had financially

exploited at least two older Vermonters while

employed on the agency’s watch. The settlement

requires the staffing agency—Staffing

Solutions of Vermont, LLC—to pay a penalty

to the State of Vermont, overhaul its employee

hiring and termination practices, and be

subject to ongoing state oversight. In response

to this case, the Attorney General’s Office and

the Department of Disabilities, Aging and

Independent Living this week jointly issued

required employment protocols governing the

hiring and termination of Vermont long-term

care facility staff to ensure the safety of longterm

care recipients.

Staffing Solutions of Vermont (SSVT)

marketed itself as a caregiver staffing agency

that conducted background checks on its

employees and provided only qualified caregivers

to long-term care facilities or individuals

in their private residences. In turn,

Vermont long-term care facilities and families

of individual Vermonters relied on SSVT

to provide them with screened, qualified

caregivers. Under Vermont law, if an individual

is found by Adult Protective Services

to have abused, exploited, or neglected a

“vulnerable adult,” or if an individual has a

criminal conviction for the abuse, exploitation,

or neglect of a “vulnerable adult,” they

are prohibited from employment in Vermont’s

long-term care facilities—including nursing

homes, assisted living residences, and residential

care homes.

In October 2015, Adult Protective Services

(APS) found that one of SSVT’s employees

had neglected and financially exploited an

older Vermonter while on the job, disqualifying

the caregiver from future employment in

Vermont. Despite SSVT’s knowledge of APS’

finding, SSVT continued to employ this caregiver

to Vermont long-term care facilities and

to individual Vermonters in their homes. In

May 2018, APS found that this same caregiver

had financially exploited yet another

older Vermonter while employed on SSVT’s

watch. In relation to that incident, the caregiver

pled guilty in Vermont Superior Court,

Windsor Criminal Division, to felony financial

exploitation of a vulnerable adult. Despite

SSVT’s knowledge of APS’ second finding

and the caregiver’s guilty plea, SSVT continued

to employ the caregiver to Vermont longterm

care facilities.

“The safety and security of those receiving

long-term care services depends, in large part,

on the quality and character of their caregivers,”

said Attorney General Susanne Young.

“Because of that,” Young remarked, “it’s

critical that long-term care facilities and caregiver

staffing agencies undertake rigorous

screening processes to make sure that their

employees are qualified to work with older

Vermonters. When they don’t, or when they

ignore disqualifying caregiver backgrounds,

they put older Vermonters at risk, as this case

demonstrates—and we will hold them to

account.”

The settlement requires SSVT to pay

$100,000 to the State of Vermont, with

$60,000 of the penalty suspended based on

SSVT’s cooperation with the Attorney

General’s investigation and inability to pay.

The settlement also requires SSVT to overhaul

the processes by which it (1) conducts

employee background checks and (2) communicates

background check results to its

long-term care facility and individual clients.

Finally, the settlement requires SSVT to be

subject to monitoring by the Attorney General

for compliance with the settlement’s terms.

The Attorney General’s Elder Protection

Initiative and the Department of Disabilities,

Aging and Independent Living jointly issued

a required employee screening protocol for

long-term care facilities and direct care staffing

agencies to assist them in hiring qualified

caregivers. The protocol highlights (1) what

backgrounds disqualify an individual from

being employed to Vermont long-term care

facilities and (2) what kinds of employee

background checks are required in the hiring

of long-term care facility staff, including a

national background check.

The Elder Protection Initiative (EPI) is a

Task Force at the Attorney General’s Office

dedicated to advocating for older Vermonters

through enforcement, legislation, public education,

professional training, and stakeholder

engagement. To learn more about the EPI and

its work, visit ago.vermont.gov/epi/.

Leahy and Other Lawmakers Urge Swift

Implementation of Proposed Rule On Organic

Livestock and Poultry Standards

Senator Patrick Leahy led a group of 20

senators in writing to Agriculture Secretary

Tom Vilsack to convey their support for the

United States Department of Agriculture’s

(USDA) Organic Livestock and Poultry

Standards (OLPS) proposed rule. Senators

Gillibrand, Brown, Blumenthal, Sanders,

Shaheen, Smith, Booker, Tester, Baldwin,

Hassan, Wyden, Feinstein, Van Hollen, Padilla,

King, Casey, Luján, Collins, and Merkley

joined Leahy in urging USDA to limit the

time frame for implementation to no longer

than three years.

The proposed rule makes progress on

animal welfare by clarifying that enclosed,

screened-in porches do not constitute outdoor

access, and creating minimum indoor and

outdoor space and enrichment requirements

for organically raised chickens. Especially

important is the fact that it levels the playing

field for organic producers who already are

meeting these expectations and ensures that

consumers know what they are feeding their

families.

Leahy, who is widely known as the ‘father’

of the national organic standards and labeling

program, said: “I’m pleased to see USDA under

the Biden administration taking firm action

to defend organic standards. The Organic

Livestock and Poultry Standards rule, alongside

the Origin of Livestock rule published in

March, will ensure that all organic producers

are playing by the same rules, and that consumers

can trust the organic seal.”

“The National Organic Program should

be acting as intended — protecting animals

raised on organic farms and keeping consumers

accurately aware of farming conditions

— not obscuring the truth and allowing cruel

farming practices to get a pass,” said Matt

Bershadker, ASPCA President and CEO.

“The exploitation of the flaws in the National

Organic Program has put the welfare of millions

of animals at risk, and we thank Senator

Leahy for leading 19 of his colleagues in

urging the USDA to revisit the OLPS rule to

fix inconsistencies and loopholes in the program.”

“When USDA finalizes the organics rule, it

will be a landmark federal standard to eliminate

cruel gestation crates and cages, providing

space for pigs, chickens and other species

and banning cruel practices such as face

branding and tail docking. Americans want

to know organic products provide for animal

welfare and that the label means something,”

said Sara Amundson, president of Humane

Society Legislative Fund. “Senator Leahy

has demonstrated tireless leadership to ensure

that the organics program fulfills its promise,

and we’re counting on Secretary Vilsack to

finalize this crucial rule quickl .”

“USDA’s proposed Organic Livestock and

Poultry Standards rule marks a significant

milestone for animal welfare, as the first set of

substantive standards for the raising of farm

animals at the federal level. This landmark

rule will directly improve the lives of millions

of farm animals in the United States,”

said Cathy Liss, President of the Animal Welfare

Institute. “We commend Senator Leahy

– who has long championed organic farming

– for leading this bipartisan letter to Secretary

Vilsack to ensure these long-awaited regulations

are finalized and implemented as swiftly

as possible. Efforts to improve conditions for

animals raised on organic farms have been

decades in the making, so we are grateful to

Senator Leahy for his continued engagement

and to the many senators who joined him in

underscoring the importance of enhancing

animal welfare and fulfilling the mission of

the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990.”

“The Organic Trade Association applauds

Senator Leahy and his colleagues in the U.S.

Senate for their bipartisan effort to fight for

strong animal welfare standards in the USDA

organic program. As the original author of

the Organic Foods Production Act of 1990,

Senator Leahy is the foremost expert in the

Senate on the legal authority and intent of

the law that established the national organic

standards,” said Tom Chapman, OTA’s CEO.

“Strong public trust in the USDA organic

seal is critical to protecting the integrity of

the thriving $63 billion industry. The Organic

Livestock and Poultry Standards proposed

rule will ensuring that consumer expectations

for high animal welfare standards are met and

that organic farmers and businesses are competing

on a level playing field with consistent

and clear requirements that make the highest

standard of care the baseline.”

Article 22/Proposition 5 i

Vermont Constitutional Amendment

The proposed amendment . . .

Is too extreme ii

Is unnecessary iii

Is too vague iv

“The people of Vermont deserve to know the laws that govern them. When the legislature intentionally puts ambiguous

language on the ballot in order for judges to achieve their ultimate goals, the people are left without a voice.” Katherine

Beck Johnson, Family Research Council.

i Article 22. That an individual’s right to personal reproductive autonomy is

central to liberty and dignity to determine one’s own life course and shall not be

the least restrictive means.

ii Article 22 would enshrine the killing of innocent human life throughout pregnancy.

iii Regrettably, Vermont enacted into law a statute in 2019 which prohibits the

government from enacting any abortion restrictions. Hence, the proposed

amendment is not necessary to protect abortion rights. Article 22 goes beyond

abortion to “parts unknown.”

iv Article 22 fails to mention “woman,” “abortion,” gender or any age limits; if it

passes, the full meaning of “personal reproductive autonomy” will be the subject of

judges on a case-by-case basis. As has been said, “[T]he court will interpret the

extent to which the right to personal reproductive autonomy, the extent to what that

protects.” Brynn Hare, Legislative Council, 2019.

Veterans Day and Scouting Salute to

Veterans Parade 2022

The Green Mountain Council of the Boy

Scouts of America will present the annual

Scouting Salute to Veterans Parade, on Saturday,

November 5, 2022, rain or shine. This

year’s event will be hosted by the City of

Barre, Vermont, and the Barre Area Veterans

Council. The Scouting Salute to Veterans

Parade in Vermont is said to be the only one

of its kind in the nation that involves a local

Scout Council. The event started in 1999 after

former Scout leader Peter Whitaker, a history

teacher in Richmond, noticed that students

did not fully understand the significance of

Veterans Day and the honor due to military

personnel for their service in defense of freedom

and the American way of life. Each year,

a different city hosts the event. 2022 is the

third time Barre has had the honor of hosting

the event.

Green Mountain Council, Boy Scouts of

America delivers programs that have been

shown to promote pro-social values, leadership,

and resilience in youth. Headquartered

in Waterbury, the council serves all 14 counties

in the state of Vermont. Annually, nearly

2,000 girls and boys participate in local scouting

programs that are made possible by more

than 1,000 trained volunteers. For more information

Modern Times Theater at

The Plainfield Opera Hous

The Friends of the Plainfield

Opera House are so happy that

Modern Times is coming back. After

their hilarious show outdoors in

the summer of 2021 we knew we

had to have them come again. And

this time it’s with a brand new indoor

show.

“We’re Not From Here” by

Modern Times Theater

Arriving from elsewhere, just in

time for the show, veteran vaudeville

entertainers Rose Friedman

and Justin Lander will present a

million years in just under 75 minutes.

A carpetbag of old fashioned

amusements. Music, puppetry, and

schtick. They will attempt to summon

the ghosts from the attic to answer

our most pressing questions,

including “How did we get here?”

“Where are we going?” and “Can’t

you do that somewhere else?”

This production was funded by a Creation

Grant from the Vermont Arts Council and is

intended specifically for presentation in small

historic venues throughout Vermont such as

the Plainfield Opera House

Modern Times Theater has been making

and touring puppet shows and variety acts,

and creating public community events since

2007. They pursue a radically divergent

model of art making, creating venues in unlikely

locations, and revitalizing the historic,

run-down, and defunct. Working in populist

theater forms, they seek to reinvent and reimagine

classic American entertainment.

Co-founders Rose Friedman and Justin

Lander are a husband and wife duo, producers

for Vermont Vaudeville and alumni of the

Bread and Puppet Theater.

In order to monitor capacity requirements,

we suggest pre-concert online tickets. But

tickets will be available at the door if possible.

Hooked Rugs Exhibit at VCFA in Montpelier

The Green Mountain Rug Hooking Guild

is pleased to present their 20th Hooked In

The Mountains Show November 3-6, 2022 in

Montpelier, VT at the College of Fine Arts. A

reception and premier viewing of the hooked

pieces will be held the evening of November

2nd from 5-8 p.m. with an opportunity to

meet our two featured artists, Sandra Grant

and Grace Collette.

Rug hooking has been around for a long

time and has changed over time; from making

practical floor coverings out of worn woolen

garments and burlap grain sacks, to making

fine art pieces never intended to be floor coverings.

We still call them “rugs” but many

end up as wall art, or functional as seat pads,

cushions, pillows, etc. And of course, some

are still made intended to be used as rugs.

• • •

In 2020, when the pandemic forced us to

cancel our show, we presented a virtual show

instead. You can view over 150 rugs, and read

about the artists, their inspirations, and the

history of the guild at https://rugshow2020.

gmrhg.org.

The 2022 show, which is open 10 - 6:00

Thursday through Saturday and 10 - 2:00 on

Sunday, will offer about 200 rugs and wall

hangings featuring contemporary designs,

mixed mediums, traditional styles, all by

members of the guild, most of them Vermonters.

Classes, vendors selling supplies, and live

demonstrations are also offered daily in our

“hook-in” room. Admission: $15.00/day or

$20 for a multi-day pass. Visit: gmrhg.org for

full details.

Secretary of State’s Office, Vermont Humanities

and the Center for Cartoon Studies Release a

New Comic on Civic Engagement in Vermont

Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos,

Vermont Humanities, and the Center for

Cartoon Studies announced the release of a

new comic book, titled Freedom and Unity,

focused on civics education, local democracy

and the Vermont election process.

“As we approach election day, the state of

our civil discourse is in disrepair, and trust in

our democratic institutions is at an all-time

low,” said Secretary Condos. “I believe that

the antidote to these divisive times is civics

education, inspiring the next generation of

leaders to be invested and engaged in our

democratic and civic processes.”

The comic, titled Freedom and Unity, A

Graphic Guide to Vermont Democracy, is a

collaboration between the Secretary of State’s

office, Vermont Humanities, and the Center

for Cartoon Studies, supported in part by the

National Endowment for the Humanities and

the Federation of State Humanities Councils.

“By investing in our future voters and leaders,

we can work to inspire a new level of civic

engagement, from participating in our local

town meetings, to running for higher office,”

said Deputy Secretary of State Chris Winters,

who represented the office in the collaborative

creation of the comic. “Of equal importance is

teaching the next generation how to exchange

ideas without vilifying each other. As a nation

we need to reinvest in civics education for our

youth, and this comic is a small but important

step for our Vermont community.”

The Freedom and Unity launch party was

held on October 27 at the Center for Cartoon

Studies Post Office building as a part of the

Eleva Chamber Players Presents

“The Legacy of John Lindsey”

The Eleva Chamber Players celebrates the legacy of violinist

John Lindsay, its founding concertmaster, as he retires from

the orchestra after 17 years. The farewell concert features

some of the most beloved pieces from the string repertoire,

including: Corelli’s Concerto grosso in g-minor op. 6 Nr. 8

(The Christmas Concerto), Vivaldi’s Winter from Four Seasons,

Mendelssohn’s String Symphony #3. Primrose’s Tango

from Sarasateana arranged for strings by Katie Jenkins, and

Arensky’s Variations on a theme of Tchaikovsky.

The concerts will take place on Saturday, November 12,

2022, at 7:00 p.m. at the United Church of Christ/Waterbury

Congregational Church (8 North Main Street, Waterbury) and

on Sunday, November 13, 2022 at 3:00 p.m. at The Inn at

Round Barn Farm (1661 East Warren Rd, Waitsfield). Admission

is $25, $20 for seniors, students. Students of the Green

Mountain Youth Symphony are admitted free. Tickets are

available at https://www.elevachamberplayers.com or at the

door.

According to Willie Docto, founder of the Eleva Chamber

Players, “We’re so thrilled to be able to give John Lindsey a

musical farewell. In 2005, John was the first musician invited

to join our group. His ability to create a beautiful sound with

his violin, his strong leadership skills and his gentle demeanor

have made Eleva a uniquely inspiring experience for the musicians

and audiences alike. He will certainly be missed.”

The Eleva Chamber Players is Central Vermont’s only professional

string chamber orchestra and was founded in April

of 2006 in Waterbury, Vermont with the mission of elevating

the human spirit through music. Eleva’s concerts feature fine

musicianship and fascinating dialogue that is both educational

and inspiring. The conductor-less orchestra operates with a

collaborative process and is composed of professional musicians

with distinguished international careers from throughout

Vermont and the United States. In addition to its annual November

concerts, Eleva has conducted concert tours of Vermont

wineries and various house concerts around the country.

Eleva’s COVID-19 audience policy recommends masks

and social distancing.

Vermont Humanities “Where We Land: Stories

that Propel Us” Fall Festival.

“Vermont Humanities is excited to partner

with the Vermont Secretary of State to commission

this new resource for civics education

in our state,” said Christopher Kaufman Ilstrup,

Executive Director of Vermont Humanities.

“This book emphasizes all of the different

ways that Vermonters can get involved in

supporting democracy at the local level, while

also not shying away from some of the challenges

we face.” He continued, “We hope that

it inspires Vermonters of all ages to take a role

in community governance.”

Copies of Freedom and Unity will be distributed

to libraries around the state through

the Vermont Department of Libraries, and can

also be found at the State House, or the offices

of the partners involved in its creation.

Freedom and Unity was created by a talented

team from The Center for Cartoon Studies,

led by cartoonist Dan Nott, with input from

the Secretary of State’s office and Vermont

Humanities.

“Comic books may not be able to save

democracy but they can certainly contribute

to the cause,” said James Sturm, Center for

Cartoon Studies cofounder and Freedom and

Unity creative contributor. “What better medium

is there to engage and inform the public?

I couldn’t be more grateful to the leadership

of our brave little state for making it

happen.”

Video from the launch event can be found

on the Junction Arts & Media YouTube page.

Admiral Dewey visits his hometown and college stomping grounds in Vermont. Upper: “Dewey Day”

in October 1899 at the capitol in Montpelier. Lower left: Admiral Dewey visits Northfield for the laying

of the cornerstone of Dewey Hall. Lower right: Dewey Hall Chapel in 1913 well before the fire of 1925.

Northfield Honors Admiral Dewey

An internet search for “Battle of Manila”

informs us that more than 10 historic battles

have been waged over the centuries in Manila.

Wikipedia lists the first battle in 1570. Most

of us are familiar with General McArthur saying,

“I shall return!” in March of 1942 at the

Terowie train station in Australia. A vow he

fulfilled in the 1945 Battle of Manila during

World War II. But it is the Battle of Manila

in August of 1898 when then Navy Commodore

George Dewey and Army Major General

Wesley Merritt took control of Manila from

Spanish forces that led to “Dewey Day” in

Vermont in 1899 and the building of Dewey

Hall on the Norwich University Campus.

The Spanish-American war raged from

April until December of 1898, beginning with

the Spanish sinking of the Battleship Maine

in Havana Harbor in February 1898. Winning

that battle in August of 1898 led ultimately to

the Paris Peace treaty in December of 1898.

George Dewey returned to the United States

a hero and was celebrated around the country.

Congress made him, first, a rear admiral, then

created the rank of Admiral of the Navy especially

for him. He remains the only person to

hold that rank.

While you might have guessed the link to

Norwich University, you might still be asking

“Dewey Day in Vermont?” Admiral Dewey

was born in Montpelier, Vermont and returned

to his home town on October 12, 1899. His

father, Dr. Julius Dewey had been a physician

and the first president of the National Life

Insurance Company. After graduating from

Montpelier high schools, George Dewey at-

tended Norwich University, then entered the

Naval Academy at Annapolis where he graduated

in 1857. The 1899 celebrations at the

state capitol included parades, a fireworks

display and the presentation of a diamond

“Welcome Home” badge.

In 1899 Admiral Dewey also visited Northfield

and was present at the celebration laying

the cornerstone of Dewey Hall being named

in his honor. Dewey Hall is the oldest building

still standing today on campus followed

by Carnegie Hall (Chaplin Hall) in 1908 and

the weather bureau (Ainsworth Hall) in 1910.

Opened in 1902 Dewey Hall was originally

designed and built as an assembly hall, library,

museum and offices. In 1925 a fire gutted the

building leading to major changes, including

adding a third story replacing the angled roof

and the large assembly hall was replaced with

administrative offices.

It is worth your time to internet search

“mining for old Dewey Hall” to read a full

history of Dewey Hall and see amazing pictures

including those of cadets walking the

burned out shell in 1925. Another very interesting

search “Vermont history Dewey day”

will lead you to an article on the end of the

century and the societal changes marked by

the celebration of Admiral Dewey … and a

great description of the fireworks.

John B. Flanagan

MONTPELIER, VT - John B. Flanagan,

73, formerly of Mountainview

Street in Montpelier and most recently

of Conti Circle in South Barre

passed away on Sunday, October 23,

2022 at UVM Medical Center in Burlington,

VT after a long and courageous

battle with cancer.

John was born on July 20, 1949

in Montpelier, VT, the son of James

and Dorothy (Barclay) Flanagan. He attended graded

school in Montpelier and graduated from Montpelier

High School in 1969.

On September 1, 1990, John married Katherine L.

Gowans. Together they held a special bond and it was

rare to see them apart.

John worked for several places over the years including,

EF Wall, and Ben Wall. He also worked many years

ago as a bartender at Charlie O’s. John’s career was primarily

as an electrician for the State of Vermont where

he retired in 1995.

He enjoyed his time at the hunting camp he built in

Walden (with help from numerous friends and family).

He spent many hours with good friend Reed Casey hunting

throughout Vermont and fishing at Lake Carmi, Lake

Champlain and the Great Lakes. He and his family have

camped at Sunset Rock RV Park in Isle La Motte for

over 23 years where he made many friends and shared

many shots of “The Doctor”. He greatly enjoyed his

time sugaring with the Huntsman’s at Putnamville Sugar

Works. He loved riding his motorcycle, taking many

rides with friend Scott Roberts. Above all, he loved his

family.

The recreational trapping season in Vermont started on

October 22nd and runs through March 31st. This includes the

use of baited steel-jawed leghold and body-gripping kill traps,

as well as cage traps that are set underwater that drown multiple

animals at once. Traps inflict tremendous fear and suffering

upon the trapped animals who are, all too often, not even

killed humanely. Drowning, bludgeoning, and strangling are

all legal methods of killing trapped animals in Vermont. Not

surprisingly, Vermont trappers have fought recent efforts to

restrict the method of kill to gunshot only.

Traps not only injure, but also maim, and kill their intended

victims; untold numbers of non-targeted animals like owls,

eagles, and even turtles are caught every year. They are cavalierly

referred to by trappers and Vermont Fish & Wildlife as

“incidental takes”. Moreover, Vermont Fish & Wildlife does

not even require trappers to report these kills. It’s certainly a

public relations disaster for them to have to disclose these

kills, so it’s in their best interest to keep it out of sight. But that

is not in the best interest of transparency. Wildlife is a public

trust resource, yet wildlife is too often “managed” for the

benefit of privileged special interests. Thanks to public

records requests that Protect Our Wildlife submits, we know

about some of these incidental takes that were investigated by

law enforcement. One such record documented a black bear

who had been caught by the face in a body-gripping kill trap

that was likely set for a bobcat. The poor bear was probably

Trapping Cruelties

hungry, and when the desperate animal went to investigate the

trap, it paid with its life.

While we can’t protect bobcats, otters, and other wildlife

from traps, we can protect our pets. Trapping occurs on private

lands (landowner permission is required), public lands

including state parks, and even national wildlife refuges in VT

with no warning or signage. Trappers are not even required to

set their traps off of trails. A dog was trapped on Christmas

day last year in a body-gripping kill trap set on a public trail

in Bristol, VT. Kill traps that are set in shallow water present

a danger to dogs right through March 31st. Cats who are

allowed outdoors are at greatest risk, since a baited trap set for

a coyote or other wild animal will just as easily trap a cat.

Trapping is considered a recreational activity for about 900

licensed trappers who cite “tradition” as a reason why they

trap. Trapping is not rooted in modern science that values the

vital role that predator species like bobcats, foxes, and otters

play in our ecosystems. Bobcats, for example, prey on rodents

like white-footed mice and chipmunks that may carry Lyme

disease. We should be protecting predator species, not killing

them for “recreation” or to sell their fur to China.

on Protect Our Wildlife’s website here: https://www.

Vote YES on Prop 5. Vote Yes for Choice

The League of Women Voters of Vermont, a partner of

Vermont for Reproductive Liberty Ballot Committee, strongly

supports the passage of Article 22 (Prop. 5), guaranteeing

reproductive autonomy to Vermonters.

The Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe v. Wade is

having devastating impacts on people who may become pregnant.

This precedent poses a threat to the future protection of

the civil liberties of all Americans. In its 1973 decision, Roe

v. Wade, the Supreme Court ruled that an individual’s right to

make their own reproductive choices without government

interference is protected under the Fourteenth Amendment of

the US Constitution. With Roe overturned, states are already

stripping more than 36 million women of reproductive age of

the right to make decisions about their own bodies, leaving

millions entirely without access to safe and legal abortion.

Fundamentally, healthcare should not be a controversial

• • •

topic. As a basic premise, healthcare is the organized delivery

of medical care to individuals or a community.

In 2019, Vermont passed comprehensive abortion rights

legislation, protecting abortion as a fundamental right, and

ensuring choices for Vermonters.

However, in light of the U.S. Supreme Court’s recent decision,

the question becomes whether a future Vermont court

might overturn our existing laws eliminating our right to

decide. Proposal 5, as a Constitutional amendment, would

uphold the right to abortion and contraception.

By voting “YES” on Prop 5 we, the people, can prevent

politicians and others from dictating the most personal of our

decisions and can strengthen our abilities to maintain our

privacy and reproductive rights.

Vermont Community Broadband Board Approves

$26.5 Million In Grants to Expand Broadband to

Thousands of Underserved Vermonters

The Vermont Community Broadband Board (VCBB)

approved three grants totaling $26.45 million to bring broadband

to more than 4,000 underserved Vermont addresses.

$9.1 million has been awarded to the Maple Broadband/

Waitsfield and Champlain Valley Telecom (WCVT) partnership

to expand fiber-optic broadband into parts of rural

Addison County, including Bridport, Ferrisburgh, New

Haven, Panton, Waltham, and Weybridge. The source of the

grant funding is the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA).

This project will extend WCVT’s fiber-to-the-home network

to approximately 2,000 additional customers in parts of

Addison County in the Waitsfield and Champlain Valley

Telecom service area. The network can deliver symmetrical

broadband speeds of up to 1 Gigabyte to residents.

The first phase of the newly funded project began in the

spring of 2022. Engineering, design, and preliminary field

work are currently in progress.

“Building a fiber-to-the-home network in rural areas is

extremely expensive, and takes time to engineer, construct

and build. We would like to thank the Vermont Community

Broadband Board for working with us to help expand our

fiber-optic network to more customers. Each and every day,

our team has been busy building more fiber in our communities

and converting customers to high-speed fiber-optics.

These grant funds will complement our own capital construction

budgets and allow us to build fiber faster than we would

otherwise be able to do,” said Eric Haskin, President and CEO

of WCVT.

“2023 will be a great year for broadband in Addison

County. Recent construction grant awards to WCVT and

Maple Broadband will enable both parties to build concurrently

and bring fiber internet to residents and businesses in

Maple Broadband member towns,” says Ellie de Villiers,

Executive Director of Maple Broadband.

“WCVT has been a great partner in terms of getting

Vermonters connected to fiber-optic broadband. The Maple

Broadband relationship with WCVT is an example of the

public-private partnerships that will result in every Vermonter

getting the opportunity to connect to reliable high-speed

Internet. The VCBB is excited about the forward progress that

Vermont is making in terms of Universal Service. This progress

is made possible by the partnerships like this one,” added

Christine Hallquist, Executive Director of the Vermont

Community Broadband Board.

$8.35 million has been awarded to WCVT to start the first

phase of their build-out to bring broadband to 1200 underserved

addresses in towns that are not part of a CUD. WCVT

is adding full build-out in the town of Charlotte and full buildout

in the town of Bolton. WCVT will also begin partial

build-out work in seven other towns.

$9 million has been awarded to Southern Vermont

Communications Union District (SoVT CUD). It is partnering

with Consolidated Communications to bring broadband to

6,412 addresses across southern Vermont, 1300 of which are

currently underserved.

The CUD, in partnership with Consolidated

Communications, who will build, maintain, and operate the

network, expects all unserved and underserved residents in 14

towns in the CUD to have access to multi-gigabit speed internet

in 2023 at competitive prices. Service will be delivered by

Fidium Fiber, Consolidated Communication’s residential

fiber brand.

Eric Hatch, Chair of the SoVT CUD, spoke of the benefits

of this grant which many groups and individuals worked on to

win. “In true Vermont fashion, our communities came together

to solve a long-standing problem that held back our state

from competing in today’s marketplace. With access to fiber,

all 14 towns in the district will have the infrastructure to retain

and attract people to Southwest Vermont.”

“The VCBB and the CUDs are proud to be working closely

with these private telecommunication partners. This collaboration

results in much lower construction costs which frees up

funding for the harder to serve areas of the state. These grants

included agreements that will provide ongoing public oversight

and accountability,” said VCBB Executive Director

Christine Hallquist.

The VCBB has awarded $90.25 million in construction

grants to date. More information on the distribution of the

funds is available at https://vcbb.maps.arcgis.com/apps/dashb

Sometimes I Talk to Myself

By G. E. Shuman

Do you ever find yourself talking to

yourself? I do. Well, I don’t actually

talk to myself out loud, but do

occasionally have bits of conversations

between the ‘me,’ and the some other ‘me’

that both seem to rattle around in my brain, fighting for

prominence. It isn’t really a good versus evil thing; it’s more

that my mind sort of weighs things in the balance that way…

as I said… occasionally. When that happens, it often goes

something, but not exactly, like this:

Me #1: “My memory isn’t what it used to be. I guess I

really might be getting older.”

Me #2: “You ‘MIGHT’ be getting older? You’re already

‘older’! You haven’t seen a mirror for the past twenty years or

something?”

Me #1: “I don’t know. Maybe I’m just feeling my age lately.

Like that time one of my fellow teachers heard my age. He

came to me later and told me he didn’t realize I was such a

‘pup.’”

Me #2: “That means you looked older, George. Besides,

that was YEARS ago.”

Me #1: “That’s my point, Dummy!”

Me #2: “So, who exactly are you calling Dummy?”

Me #1: “Some of the recent comments from my granddaughter

Nahla have me thinking that way, too.”

Me# 2: “Like what comments? She’s only six, you know.

And you are pretty old lately.”

Me #1: “Like what? You’re right here in my head, and I

have to remind you what? Wow. Like when I told her I was

going to start teaching a few English classes again. Remember

that?” She laughed and said: “Papa, you can’t do that! You’re

WAY too old!”

Me #2: “Oh yah… I remember that. That was SO funny! I

laughed so hard I almost fell out your left ear.”

Me #1: “And remember the time we were sitting on the

front porch, and I asked her if she would still come to visit her

Grammy and me when she was all grown up?”

Me #2: “How could I forget? That one stung a bit. But it

was hilarious when she said: “Well Papa, I guess I’ll come

visit Grammy, ‘cause you’ll be dead.”

Me #1: “Hilarious? Remember, when I’m dead, you’re

dead.”

Me #2: “Oh yeah.”

Me #1: “Now I’ve got those two stupid doctor’s appointments

next week to think about too.”

Me #2: “I know. But you’ll be fine. If you’re worried about

seeing doctors, maybe you should try to get in better shape.”

Me #1: “I probably should. Maybe I should get a Fit Bit to

keep track of my exercise.”

Me #2: “Don’t do that. Then you’ll start getting junk emails

from the local funeral parlors. Ha! Ha!”

Me #1: “Oh, funny, very funny! Anyway, I like my doctor.

She’s smart, and young, and pretty, and easy to talk to.”

Me #2: “Yes, she’s all the things you aren’t.”

Me #1: “I just hate the things they make you do, and all the

questions. First, they put you on that awful scale which

always shows your weight ten pounds over what it is at home.

Like I need to see that. Then they take your pulse.”

Me #2: “That’s to see if you have a pulse, George.”

Me #1: “And then they always start going down the list of

meds I take, as if I have any idea if I still take them or not.

Lorna isn’t usually with me, and I usually realize that, and

usually don’t care and just smile and say yup. They’re working

fine.”

Then they ask the really embarrassing questions:

Are you exercising? No, but I plan to. How’s your diet? I

just started a new one this morning. It’s going great. (I wonder

how many times she’s heard that one.) Do you ever smoke?

Naw. Do you use alcohol? What do you mean by ‘use’? How

about illicit drugs? Nope. Just a lot of caffeine.

Me #2: “Wow. No wonder you don’t like hearing all that

stuff about you… I mean us.”

Me #1: “I’d rather get back to thinking about the stuff

Nahla says, if you don’t mind.”

Me #2: “Yes. Me too. Like the time she told you she saw

hair in your nose, and in your ears. You should have seen the

look on your face!”

Me #1: “Or like last week when it was my turn to put her

to bed and I sat on the floor beside her while she said her

prayers?”

Me #2: “I remember.

Me #1: “Then she said: ‘Papa! What are you doing? What

if I fall asleep and you can’t get up?!”

Me #2: “Out of the mouths of babes.”

The Cincinnati Kid (1965)

HHH1/2

Remember in “Back to the Future Part II” where villainous

Biff Tannen has changed history and Hill Valley

now has a giant legal casino? This sci-fi nightmare has

kind-of come true.

Towns across America now have casinos; surprisingly large

casinos.

Every fifth commercial during a sporting event is for a

Sportsbook app, urging you to bet on the game.

I have mixed feelings about this.

My libertarian side rejoices at any decriminalization.

My humanitarian side is not so pleased. Legalized gambling

is clearly enticing more people to gamble. And gambling is

not good for your wallet or your family relationships.

“The Cincinnati Kid” is a devastating anti-gambling movie

cleverly packaged as a slick Hollywood poker flick.

Steve McQueen stars as Eric The Kid Stoner: the best stud

poker player in Depression-era New Orleans.

By stud, I mean the style of poker. Although, to be sure, The

Kid isn’t wanting for female attention. He has a great-looking

young girlfriend (Tuesday Weld). And his best friend’s wife

(Ann-Margaret) has a raging crush on him.

The story is as simple as it comes: The greatest player in the

country – Lancey Howard (Edward G. Robinson) – has come

to town. The Kid is challenging him to heads-up match. The

winner will be the undisputed king of poker.

The poker scenes are interesting and dramatic enough to

carry the movie. But director Norman Jewison exposes how

gambling is making each character’s life worse.

The Kid seems cool enough on the outside. But there is no

easy way to play poker for a living. It’s a dangerous life. And

huge financial swings and mood swings are part of the deal.

The Kid sleeps with two hot women during the movie, but it’s

clear that he’s going to end up alone.

• • •

Just like Lancey Howard. You’d think that being the champion

of poker would make for a happy life. But world-weary

Edward G. Robinson shows us the emptiness of being the

greatest gambler.

Lancey has plenty of acquaintances, but no friends. He has

plenty of people who admire him, but just as many people

who are bitter that he beat them. At the end of the day, he’s just

a middle-aged man trying in vain to get some rest on an

expensive hotel pillow.

Still, Lancey has it better than The Kid’s best friend Shooter

(Karl Malden). Shooter married a hot vixen during one of his

winning streaks. And now she expects him to make money

like that for her all the time.

Malden shows us the true face of gambling: unhappy,

indebted, and desperate.

Look, to be fair, I am not saying that gambling is heroin.

You can – indeed, I do – bet on some NFL games and sit down

at a poker table occasionally without getting addicted.

But gambling addiction is real and it is ugly. Casinos willingly

exploit human weakness and destroy families for profit.

I am not saying that the government should step in. But I do

believe that the country would be a better place if all the casinos

closed.

The Barre Lions Club, serving the community since 1938, recently

held their 55th 100 Ball Raffle. Pictured is our grand prize winner

Gordon Olsen. Gordon and his sister-in-law, Rachael Olsen, won

the grand prize last year too!!! Profits from the raffle go to our Sight

and Hearing Fund that provides glasses and hearing aids to community

members that need them.

ARIES (March 21 to April

19) Although you love being

the focus of everyone’s

attention, it’s a good idea

to take a few steps back

right now to just watch the

action. What you see can help with an upcoming decision.

TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) “Caution” continues to be

your watchword this week, as a former colleague tries to

reconnect old links. There are still some dark places that

need to be illuminated.

GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Making a good first impression

is important. Revealing your often hidden sense of

humor can help you get through some of the more awkward

situations.

CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Are you taking that Cancer

Crab image too seriously? Lighten up. Instead of

complaining about your problems, start resolving them. A

friend would be happy to help.

LEO (July 23 to August 22) A widening distance between

you and that special person needs to be handled with

honesty and sensitivity. Don’t let jealousy create an even

greater gap between you two.

VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Congratulations.

Your handling of a delicate family matter rates kudos. But,

no resting on your laurels just yet. You still have to resolve

that on-the-job problem.

LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) You might surprise

everyone by being unusually impulsive this week. But

even level-headed Libras need to do the unexpected now

and then.

SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A period of turmoil

gives way to a calmer, more settled environment. Use

this quieter time to patch up neglected personal and/or professional

relationships.

SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) A new

relationship could create resentment among family and

friends who feel left out of your life. Show them you care

by making more time for them.

CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Concentrate

on completing all your unfinished tasks before deadline.

You’ll then be able to use this freed-up time to research

new career opportunities.

AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) You’re right to

try to help colleagues resolve their heated differences. But

keep your objectivity, and avoid showing any favoritism

between the two sides.

PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your personal life continues

to show positive changes. Enjoy this happy turn of

events, by all means. But be careful not to neglect your

workplace obligations.

BORN THIS WEEK: People of all ages look to you for

advice and encouragement. You would make an excellent

counselor.

GAME NIGHT | THE WORLD

How to plan a perfect game night

Shared experiences are ideal ways to make new friends or

solidify established relationships. Bonds can be strengthened

even further when those shared experiences include entertaining

activities. This is a great reason for adults to incorporate

routine game nights into their social calendars.

Game nights are nothing new. Perhaps your parents or

grandparents gossiped over a few games of gin rummy or

weekly poker gatherings? Before the widespread proliferation

of digital video games, board games were a go-to way to have

fun. Even now, game nights can provide the perfect way to

slow down, have fun and get together with friends.

Hosting a game night can be an ideal way to have fun at

home without turning on the television. The following are a

few things to consider when planning a game night.

The number of people dictates which games can be played

How many people are invited to game night will determine

the games that can be played. Game nights tend to be more

successful with a guest between four and eight players.

Keeping people engaged in a game can be more challenging if

there are more than eight individuals, and most games are

designed for a maximum of eight players.

Plan for finger foods

Game night etiquette typically dictates that hosts will provide

refreshments. In lieu of a sit-down meal, offer finger

foods, which are easier to manage while engaged in game

play. Premade party platters are an option if you want to spend

more time entertaining and less time preparing food. Guests

also can be encouraged to bring small dishes, such as sandwiches,

chips and dips or other snacks.

Have a variety of games on hand

Let the course of the night be relatively fluid, even if you

have a certain game in mind. If guests are not fans of a par-

Did you know...

Board games can make you smarter and strengthen your

memory capacity even when you’re older.

•There used to be a “Trump” board game, which has since

been discontinued.

•The “Home Alone” game is much darker than the movie.

•Board games were played as early as 5,000 years ago (that

we know of).

• • •

ticular game, make sure you have others at the ready. Music or

a sports game playing in the background also can be a way to

keep guests entertained between turns. When deciding on

games, consider these criteria, courtesy of Game Night Gods,

an online game night resource

• The game should be easy to learn.

• The game should be relatively fast-moving.

• The game should pique interest and be strategic.

Get out of your comfort zones

Acting zany and engaging in games that push people out of

their comfort zones can help guests get to know one another

and laugh along the way. Games also are a perfect way to learn

something new with little to no pressure.

A game night can unite existing friends and help people

interested in making new acquaintances find common ground.

If in person game nights are not doable, gather virtually

through video chat applications.

•Chess was the preferred mental sport for European aristocrats,

even though it was created in India.

•The most expensive board game will set you back a “mere”

$9.8 million.

•Candy Land has a sad but beautiful history of helping children

in hospital wards.

•Not all words in the English dictionary can be played in

Scrabble.

Benefits of game play for child en

Parents walk a fine line when trying to determine how much

time to allow their kids to engage in game play. Game play has

traditionally had a bad reputation, but parents can rest assured

that by letting their children get involved in entertaining

games of all types, including video games, they’re actually

helping their youngsters in various ways.

Board games present chances for learning.

Board games are some of the first games young children get

to play, and they can serve as introductions to lessons kids will

ultimately learn in school. Simple games help children follow

directions, learn colors, numbers, and develop hand-eye coordination,

according to Scholastic. As kids age and games

become more challenging, the chances for learning increase.

Games help with physical development.

Parenting magazine reports that outdoor play entices children

to be active and can boost fitness and physical stamina.

All types of games work the body by strengthening muscles

and bones. Being outdoors in the fresh air and sunshine is

good for the body and mind. When a child is physically fit, he

or she also may have a strong immune system that reduces the

risk of developing diseases like obesity or diabetes later in

life.

Games can boost creativity

Whether they’re following the rules or finding ways to circumvent

them, games offer opportunities for children to delve

into their creative sides and utilize their imaginations. Video

games can immerse them in different worlds where they can

ponder the what-ifs of role play.

Boost interest in school subjects

Certain video games depict historical settings or events that

drive the play. Players may want to learn more about these

situations and events. In addition, sparking an interest in various

subjects and keeping the mind active can improve basic

cognitive functions, states the pregnancy and childcare

resource Maternity Glow.

Games allow for broadened social activity

Much in the way that game nights can help adults bond and

make new friends, children who play games together may be

able to meet others and engage with kids their age due to this

shared interest.

Children can benefit from game play in ways that might

surprise their parents.

Rainy Days and

barrel-chested trashmen

stand idle, and

manhole covers (the

tiddley-winks of gods)

sit, entrenched–capping

bandaids, bottle caps, and

dead leaves;

cigarette butts in sidewalk

cracks–

ants, going into and

coming out of little mounds–

twigs, whirligigs; mouthpiece of

a Tiparello–

a flattened water bottle,

flattened chewing gum, a penny,

tarnished, worn smooth, issued

the year I was born, 1954

the year Hurricane Edna barged

inland ...

Used and weathered, but, still

a penny.

Fugue

By Kimberly Madura

Entropy has turned

to madness.

The goodbyes have changed

to silence.

My verve became my torpid

languishing.

I’m not the same

person I was then.

Only through decay

am I living.

Cloudy

but the shark-mouth moves faster too

and pincer jaws slowly close

I turn attention to a fat bullfrog approaching

from the West, then

Trow Hill Kelly

By Old George

Your hair is brown.

A smile that could light the heavens of blue.

Such a pleasure to meet you!

Oh how could I forget a girl like you!

When I use that clothes rack.

It’ll be like getting a hug from you.

Your eyes like the sun hitting the morning dew.

Thinking of you makes my heart beat like new!

Such a pleasure to meet a “Trow Hill Girl” like you.

Till the moon is full.

The stars twinkle down.

I’ll be dreaming of you

The Ghost

By Old George

The Ghost that walks at midnight.

Lives in the attic!

Hear the rustle as he peers down.

As he makes Ghostly sounds.

He’ll eat your candy if found.

At midnight he’ll come down!

To walk among the kids.

It’s Halloween night!!

Hide your candy!

Pull the blankets up tight!!

There’s no fear, like losing your

candy at night.

For it is his delight. Boo kids!!!

As he hogs your candy down!!

Eternal Sleep

By Old George

Do not stand over me and weep.

When I have gone to my eternal sleep.

My soul in heaven will mend.

Before a new life starts again.

An angel sent down from heaven.

With kindness and compassion.

To help you with gentle hands.

Figure out things while others can’t.

Think of me when I have gone.

How would he fix what is wrong.

Like an angel with gentle hands.

With a soft heavenly voice.

You will hear him say I will help you again.

Naked

By Wayne F. Burke

The leaves have fallen off the trees!

The trees are gray, their

branches bare;

it happened suddenly, and

unexpectedly--I was unprepared.

I asked myself how it could be

as only yesterday

I could barely see the

trunks of the trees:

now, every mole and knothole, each

fissure and lump, exposed! And

this nakedness, I know, is how

it will be, from

now

until the buds of Spring bloom

to Summer dresses.

Who Me Lie

By Old George

You’re like rain upon my vacation window pane.

All you do is complain.

How ever you do give me a thrill.

Like setting upon a picnic ant hill.

You’re like a smiling cat that ate a whippoorwill.

Such a brat even made me have a heart attack.

Behind those brown eyes,

is a heart filled with lies.

Your eyes often fill with crocodile tears.

You are like a nightmare come true.

Such a pleasure to meet Rita and Rob too.

Told me they are your aunt and uncle.

Well Alelia do you really think I’d lie to them.

he’ll always be by your side

Try to make them believe something that’s just not true. Like footprints on a sand beach,

Well I sorta like ya, you’re my adopted brat!

Why I would never tell a lie.

Old Wicked

By Old George

The wicked witch of South Hill.

She’ll soon tune up her broom!

To ride across the moon.

Brings Ghosts and Goblins she’s so mean.

She’ll cackle worse than a Jackal.

As she spreads her evil ways!

Kids hurry into bed, cover yours heads.

For she can’t get you through covers they’ve said!!

She’ll put a monster under your bed!!

She’s so cantankerous, she doesn’t care,

Who she scares!

On you put a curse, it’ll be the worst!

By day she drives a bus, so don’t fuss.

She’ll get you Halloween night!!

With a terrible fright!!

The old wicked witch of South Hill.

Now would I try to scare you, oh boo!!

Gina

By Old George

Gina with her light brown hair.

The most beautiful brown eyes.

Will soon share eggs with me.

Her little dog is like my “brown eyes.”

From my childhood days you see!

So kind to an old man is she.

A new friend she must be.

Came from Brattleboro says she.

Such a pleasure to have her visit with me.

If I’m feeling well enough.

Later on my lawn a snow sculpture of her there will be!

Well I can make a dog.

But a chicken? Well we’ll have to see!!

Gina and friends frozen in time.

The Blessings

When the sun rises over the mountains,

look far to the east.

Lift your eyes to His glory

and get ready for His feast.

A new day is about to dawn,

with plenty of spiritual bliss.

Filling your soul with compassion,

in the morning mist.

It comes from the Lord above us,

The Maker of Heaven and Earth.

He has been with you from the beginning,

right from your very birth.

Through life and beyond tomorrow,

in Him you can confide.

Watching now and forever more,

He’ll guide you through the obstacles in life

Overcoming all your sorrows

and mending all your strife.

So, each day thank your Master

for all the things He can do

For all His love and understanding,

and the blessings He’s given you.

For Eternity

By Old George

Well the Lord will be calling me home soon.

Don’t put me in a grave yard.

To spend eternity in misery.

Where I don’t want to be.

Spread me on my meadow.

Where I want to be.

With my pets that loved me.

To hear my brook flow past, out to the see.

To see the seasons change.

Oh please don’t bury me.

My animal friends, that come to visit me.

In a grave yard there’s nothing but cold stones to see.

My meadow that’s where I like to be.

Such a peaceful place to be.

For eternity.

A Message From Heaven

By Old George

I fell off the ATV.

To die ‘neath this tree.

Where the Lord chose to call me.

Soon snow and cold there will be.

Ok gather around one last time for me.

Sing my favorite song for me.

Am I to be forgotten ‘neath this tree.

So lonely I will be.

Kiss a flower, as you place it near.

To let me know you still love me.

From heaven above, I will send down my love.

Often think of me.

Hunters who get a deer on opening weekend of the Nov. 12-27 deer season can help Vermont’s deer

management program by reporting their deer at a biological check station. VTF&W photos by John

Hall

Vermont’s Regular Deer Season Starts

Saturday, Nov. 12

Hunters are gearing up for the start of

Vermont’s traditionally popular 16-day regular

deer season that begins Saturday, November

12 and ends Sunday, November 27.

A hunter may take one legal buck during

this season if they did not already take one

during the archery deer season. The definition

of a legal buck depends on the Wildlife

Management Unit (WMU). A map of the

WMUs is on pages 22 and 23 of the 2022

VERMONT HUNTING & TRAPPING

GUIDE available from license agents statewide.

In WMUs C, D1, D2, E1, E2, G, I, L, M, P,

and Q a legal buck is any deer with at least

one antler three inches or more in length.

In WMUs A, B, F1, F2, H, J1, J2, K, N, and

O a legal buck is any deer with at least one

antler with two or more antler points one inch

in length or longer.

“The greatest numbers of deer continue to

be in western regions of the state and other

valley areas,” said Vermont Fish and

Wildlife’s deer biologist Nick Fortin. “The

Green Mountains and Northeast Kingdom

offer more of a big woods experience with

fewer, but often larger, deer.”

Vermont hunting licenses include a buck

tag for this season and a late season bear tag

(for Nov. 12-20), cost $28 for residents and

$102 for nonresidents. Hunters under 18

years of age get a break at $8 for residents and

$25 for nonresidents. Licenses are available

on Fish and Wildlife’s website and from

license agents statewide.

“I am urging all hunters to wear a fluorescent

orange hat and vest to help maintain

Vermont’s very good hunting season safety

record,” said Vermont Fish and Wildlife

Commissioner Christopher Herrick.

VT F&W Urges Hunters to Help Keep Deer Healthy

The Vermont Fish and

Wildlife Department is

reminding hunters of a

regulation designed to help

keep Vermont deer healthy

by banning the use of any

deer lure containing deer

urine or other deer bodily

fluids.

The infectious agent of

Chronic Wasting Disease

(CWD), a fatal disease of

deer, is a mutant protein or

“prion” that can be passed

in urine. This mutant protein

can bind to soils and

remain infectious for many years. Nearly all

urine-based lures are produced in captive deer

facilities, where CWD is most likely to occur.

There is no way to test live animals, and

infected animals can spread CWD for years

before showing any symptoms. No amount of

testing or special certification program can

eliminate the risk of spreading CWD through

urine lures.

CWD is 100 percent fatal to deer and

moose. It causes irreversible population


SPORTS & OUTDOORS

A 2022 Deer Season Hunting Guide can be

downloaded from the department’s website at

www.vtfishandwildlife.com. The guide

includes a map of the Wildlife Management

Units (WMUs), season dates, regulations, and

other helpful information.

Hunters are required to report deer in person

at a big game reporting station during the

regular season. Online reporting will not be

available. This requirement allows biologists

to collect important information from as

many deer as possible.

Hunters who get a deer on November 12 or

13 can help Vermont’s deer management program

by reporting their deer at one of the

biological check stations listed below that

will be staffed from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m.,

unless the store closes earlier:

Buck Stop Mini Mart – Bennington

Keith’s Country Store – Pittsford

R&L Archery – Barre

Putney Sunoco – Putney

West Enosburg Country Store – Enosburg

Falls

Rack N Reel – New Haven

Bob’s Quick Stop – Irasburg

Lead & Tackle – Lyndonville

Village Grocery & Deli – Waitsfield

Singleton’s Store - Proctorsville

Hunters who do not go to a biological

reporting station are asked to provide a tooth

from their deer. Obtain a tooth envelope from

your regular reporting agent. Remove one of

the middle incisor teeth, being careful to

include the root. Place the tooth in the envelope

and give it to the reporting agent. Each

tooth will be cross sectioned to accurately

determine the deer’s age, and the results will

be posted on the Fish and Wildlife website

next spring.

deer urine or other deer bodily

fluids is prohibited. Photo by Wyoming

declines and has been

impossible to eliminate

once it becomes established

in a population.

CWD has not been

detected in Vermont.

“No single buck is

worth risking the health

of Vermont’s entire deer

herd,” said Nick Fortin,

Vermont’s deer biologist.

“If someone feels they

must use a lure, there are

legal, synthetic alternatives

that are just as effective.”

“If CWD is ever detected in Vermont, local

deer numbers would have to be greatly

reduced to attempt to remove the disease

before it becomes established,” said Vermont

Director of Wildlife Mark Scott. “This reduction

would have to be done for at least five

years.”

More information about Chronic Wasting

Disease can be found at www.cwd-info.org

Breathing Through Reeds from the Bottom

of a Vermont Lake; Did Jacques Cousteau

Invent The SCUBA at Summer Camp?

By CompassVermont.com

According to The Travel,

Jacques-Yves Cousteau, the

famous ocean explorer and

co-inventor of the Aqua-

Lung underwater breathing

apparatus, better known as

SCUBA, probably gulped

his first mouthful of water

while diving in a remote

lake in Vermont’s Northeast

Kingdom.

It was Harvey’s Lake,

a 350-acre body of water

in the tiny town of Barnet, Vermont, where

a young Cousteau spent a summer at a boys

camp in the early 1920s.

Spending the season at the lake-side camp

with his brother, Pierre-Antoine, Cousteau

grew fond of swimming and diving, and is

said to have used the lake’s reeds as a breathing

tube, enabling him to stay underwater for

longer periods of time. The experience may

have inspired his ground-breaking invention.

Cousteau went on to uncover undersea

mysteries around the globe, but his foray into

Tree stands get hunters out

of sight and smell of wary

deer, but they can also get

hunters into trouble. Here are

some tips from Vermont Fish

and Wildlife to help stay safe

and get the most out of your

tree stand hunting experience:

• Choose a live, straight tree,

and avoid ash that may be in

decline due to emerald ash

borers.

• Buy smart. Only use stands

certified by the Tree Stand

Manufacturers Association

(TMA).

• Inspect them each time you

use them. Check your treestand

for wear and tear each

time you go out into the

woods.

• Know the rules. On state

lands, it is illegal to place

nails or other hardware into

trees or to build permanent

structures. On private lands,

you must have landowner

permission to erect a tree

stand, cut or remove trees or

other plants, or to cut limbs.

All stands, including ground

blinds, must be marked with

the owner’s name and address.

• Always wear a full-body

safety harness, even for

climbing. Most falls occur

going up and down the tree

and getting in and out of the

stand. Make sure your safety harness is in

good condition. Especially, check the straps.

• Don’t go too high. The higher you go, the

smaller the vital zone on a deer becomes,

while the likelihood of a serious injury

increases. Climb within your personal limit.

• Never carry firearms or bows up and down

trees. Always use a haul line to raise and

lower all gear. Make sure your firearm is

unloaded.

• Familiarize yourself with your gear before

you go. The morning of opening day is a poor

time to put your safety belt on for the first

time.

• Be careful with long-term placement.

• • •

Harvey’s Lake helped

put Barnet on the map.

After his summer escapades

at the lakeside

camp, Cousteau, who

died in 1997, became

a French naval officer,

graduating from

France’s naval academy

in 1933. Commissioned

as second

lieutenant, his plan was

to become a navy pilot

but a serious accident

that caused physical injuries prevented that.

He was, however, drawn to undersea exploration

and ultimately it became his life’s work.

Cousteau never forgot his experiences at

Harvey’s Lake, and later in his life he donated

funds to purchase land around the lake in a bid

to protect its watershed.

Tree Stand Safety Tips for Hunters

Vermont Fish and Wildlife urges hunters to take the time to follow

basic safety procedures to avoid falls from tree stands. VTF&W

photo.

Exposure can damage straps, ropes and

attachment cords. Also, the stand’s stability

can be compromised over time, as the tree

grows.

“Hunter education instructors want you to

be safe this coming season,” said Vermont

Fish and Wildlife’s Hunter Education

Program Coordinator Nicole Meier. “Falls

from tree stands are a major cause of death

and serious injury to deer hunters, but they

are preventable by always wearing a fullbody

harness and staying connected to the

tree.”

are when wearing orange: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kjSI79ss9I.

Governor Phil Scott, the Vermont Department of Labor

(VDOL) and the McClure Foundation announced the release

of Vermont’s Most Promising Jobs, a list assembled by VDOL

and McClure that includes more than 50 occupations expected

to pay above the state median wage of $22.55/hour and have

at least 500 openings over the next decade.

“We have tens of thousands of good paying jobs available

in Vermont, and it’s critical we do whatever we can to help

Vermonters find pathways to these meaningful careers,” said

Governor Scott. “Growing our workforce needs to be a top

priority, so we can grow our economy and afford the investments

we want to make in the future.”

The Department of Labor and the McClure Foundation, an

affiliate of the Vermont Community Foundation, have partnered

since 2014 to produce the Vermont’s Most Promising

Jobs list, providing the brochure as a career exploration

resource for students and job seekers across Vermont and for

those interested in moving to the state.

“No matter where someone is on their career path – whether

just starting out, highly-experienced, or considering a

change – Vermont’s Most Promising Jobs is a great place to

begin,” said Commissioner Michael Harrington. “And, to help

with that journey, the Department of Labor has job specialists

across the state ready to connect job seekers with opportunities

that fit their experience, interests, and needs. Thank you

to the McClure Foundation for their ongoing partnership, so

that this valuable information can make it into the hands of

Vermont’s future workforce.”

The McClure Foundation facilitates the distribution of

Vermont’s Most Promising Jobs print brochure to area

schools, partner organizations, and by request to individuals.

“We are excited to join Governor Scott and the Department

of Labor in once again announcing Vermont’s Most Promising

Jobs,” said McClure Foundation executive director Carolyn

Weir. “This partnership is all about promoting the diversity of

meaningful work experiences that exist in Vermont and helping

support people accessing these jobs and the education and

training programs that lead to them.”

The Vermont’s Most Promising Jobs brochure includes

information on median wages, number of projected openings,

and minimum education requirements. The data reveals that

Vermont’s promising jobs typically require training or education

beyond high school – whether on-the-job training, a

short-term credential such as a certificate, a registered apprenticeship,

an associate degree, a bachelor’s degree, or beyond.

The promising occupations with the most projected openings

over the next 10 years include: K-12 teachers (7,850),

bookkeeping and accounting clerks (5,320), carpenters

(4,460), and registered nurses (4,460). The full list of occupations

is based on VDOL’s Long-Term Occupational

Projections, which was released in September 2022.

“These projections estimate where growth and shifts in

employment will occur based on a number of factors,” said

VDOL Economic and Labor Market Information Director

Mathew Barewicz. “These include economic growth, in particular

as a result of post-pandemic circumstances, as well as

other changes, like retirements or job transfers. In Vermont,

our labor force is down about 20,000 from its pre-pandemic

high, predominately due to retirements, and in spite of an

increase to in-state migration. Over the next decade, Vermont

is projected to have an average of 41,123 openings per year in

over 500 occupations.”

In an effort to promote career exploration, the McClure

Foundation and the Department will partner to visit local high

schools across Vermont in the coming months and to make the

free brochures available to students, job seekers, and those

who work with them. To learn more about Vermont’s Most

Promising Jobs, request free copies of the brochure, and view

translations of the jobs list, visit mcclurevt.org/pathways.

KOVELS ® Antiques

By Terry and Kim Kovel & Collecting

Artists don’t spend all their time

continued

making large

on next

oil

page

paintings

and huge statues. Many worked for years before they

found the special, individual look that pictured the world

in a unique way. But a different group of artists made folk

art carvings, squashed pottery vases and sewer tile statues

with the free materials found nearby.

Collectors and museums started to recognize folk art as

another way to look at the world about the middle of the

1900s, but only in areas where formal art museums were

rare.

Today museum collectors of unique folk art like carousel

horses, carved duck decoys and George Ohr pottery

vases pay thousands of dollars for great examples.

Even the anonymous carvings used to trim buildings or

decorate gardens are collected. John (or Johannes) Scholl

(1827-1916) was a woodcarver whose work was praised

long after his death. He made folk art whimsies, carved

decorations of fancy shapes that are thought to be among

the most important pieces of folk art in the 20th century.

A Conestoga auction sold a 28-inch-high piece of folk art

by Scholl. It was a carved wooden whimsy that sold for

$4,130 after 13 bids.

* * *

Q: I had a friend who had a display cabinet filled with pink

Depression glass. One day, the top glass shelf broke and

fell onto the second shelf and then the bottom shelf. It was

a disaster of broken glass. It got me thinking about Depression

glass. Is it valuable?

A: Depression glass was very popular with collectors about

1950s through the 1980s. Depression glass is an inexpensive

glass that was made during the 1920s and early 1930s

in many colors and patterns by dozens of factories in the

United States. The name “Depression glass” is a modern

one for machine-made glass of the 1940s through 1970s.

Prices vary, but large serving pieces are getting high prices

in antique stores. We are sorry about your friend’s loss!

He should have followed our tip. Glass shelves should

be checked anytime you change what is displayed. Glass

bends and can break when there is too much weight.

* * *

TIP: Put a dab of toothpaste on the back of a picture frame.

Press the picture back against the wall where you want the

nail to be. It will leave a mark that will wipe off.

* Most anyone can come up

with a ghost costume (basically,

a white sheet with eyes

cut out and cut off at the bottom

so it’s not too long). How

about dressing up that ghost

with costume jewelry and

makeup, or a mustache/beard drawn on, with

a tie and carrying a briefcase labeled “Scare

Corporation”? Use hats or other dress-up accessories

to make Dr. Ghost or Officer Ghost.

The possibilities are endless.

* A basic scarecrow needs only a flannel shirt, a

pair of jeans and socks, a floppy hat and some

straw. Stuff wadded-up plastic bags into shirt

or pants to fill, then use rubber bands to secure

straw at the cuffs. Paint on a funny face.

AUTOMOTIVE

What to do about headlight glare when driving at night

In recent years, many a motorist has noticed how much

more glare they encounter on the road at night than they used

to. The headlights that are now standard in many vehicles can

be a catch-22. Drivers of vehicles equipped with LED lights

often find the road in front of them is much more illuminated

thant it was in the days when auto manufacturers built cars

and trucks with incandescent lights. However, the bright light

emitted by LED headlights can increase glare for oncoming

motorists, making the roads more dangerous for all.

Headlight glare has long been a problem for many drivers.

In fact, as far back as 2001 the Highway Traffic and Safety

Administration sought input from the public regarding headlight

glare. A subsequent report noted that the issue compelled

more responses than any other safety concern, and it’s likely

that a similar request would generate an even greater response

today.

LED lights might be a problem for millions of motorists,

but the efficiency and longevity of these lights makes it unlikely

that auto manufacturers will shift to an alternative light

source anytime soon. Until that time comes, drivers can try

these strategies to combat glare when driving at night.

• Avoid looking directly at oncoming headlights. It’s important

that drivers keep their eyes on the road at all times, but

they should be able to do so without staring directly at oncoming

lights. In North America, where oncoming traffic is always

on the left, drivers can slightly shift their focus to the right as

lights are oncoming. Doing so should allow them to keep their

eyes on the road without staring directly into oncoming lights.

• Purchase night driving glasses. Drivers can consider night

driving glasses if they’re having a lot of trouble with glare.

Such glasses differ depending on the manufacturer, but they’re

generally intended to reduce glare and reflections from headlights

and street lamps.

• Investigate wiper blades. Glare from oncoming headlights

contribute to visibility problems when driving at night, and

How to prepare your car for winter

Summer and fall can stake their claim as road trip season,

and even devoted drivers may admit that winter is generally

a less desirable time to take to the open road. The elements

factor heavily into that reputation, as fewer hours of daylight,

snow and ice are just some of the variables that can make it

less enjoyable, and potentially more dangerous, to drive in

winter.

In anticipation of adverse driving conditions, vehicle owners

can take various steps to prepare their cars and trucks for

winter.

• Upgrade your wiper blades. Perhaps nothing is compromised

more than visibility when driving in winter compared to other

times of year. Snow makes it hard to see when driving, but

fewer hours of daylight also can affect visibility. In fact, the

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety reports that approximately

half of all fatal crashes occur between 6 p.m. and 6

a.m., even though the number of drivers on the road during

those hours is considerably lower than it is during the daytime.

The difficulty of driving at night is even more significant

when wiper blades are not up to the task of keeping rain and

snow off drivers’ windshields. Prior to winter, inspect wiper

blades and upgrade them, if necessary. Streaks left on a windshield

are a telltale sign that blades need to be replaced.

• Purchase winter tires. Winter tires may not be necessary in

regions with relatively mild winters. However, drivers accustomed

to winters marked by heavy snowfall and/or icy roads

should consider replacing their existing tires with winter tires.

Many newer vehicles are now equipped with all-season tires,

which the tire experts at Bridgestone note provide great performance

but are not designed to handle extreme winter conditions

like snow and ice. Winter tires are specially designed

to handle such conditions, making them a worthy investment

for drivers who live in regions where it’s not unusual to encounter

snow and ice throughout the winter.

old wiper blades can exacerbate those problems. Old wiper

blades can be compromised by a buildup of dirt and often

wear down over time. When coupled with glare, this can

significantly reduce visibility at night. Each manufacturer is

different, but Ford recommends replacing wiper blades once

every 12 months.

• Clean the interior of your windshield. A dirty windshield interior

also can exacerbate glare. Grit and dirt build up inside

of a vehicle over time, and they can accumulate on the windshield

just as easily as they do in a cup holder, on an armrest or

on the dashboard. Various products are designed specifically

for cleaning interior windshields, and these could help reduce

glare at night.

Glare can make nighttime driving very difficult. Fortunately,

drivers can take many steps to reduce glare from oncoming

headlights.

• Study up on your engine oil. Some vehicle manufacturers

recommend different grades of oil depending on the range

of temperatures a car or truck will be driven in. The owner’s

manual will likely indicate if the manufacturer recommends

using a different type of engine oil in especially cold temperatures.

Even if the manual does not include such a suggestion,

drivers can seek the advice of a local mechanic.

• Schedule a pre-winter tuneup. Even if a vehicle is not due for

a tuneup, it can be wise to have it looked over by a local mechanic

before the arrival of harsh winter weather. A mechanic

can check the radiator, hoses and other components that could

be affected by especially cold weather in the months to come.

If any issues are found, address them immediately. After all,

it’s better to be proactive than leave yourself vulnerable to

breakdowns or other issues once the mercury drops.

As fall gives way to winter, drivers can take steps to keep

their cars running strong and safe in the months ahead.

4 basic vehicle maintenance jobs many DIY novices can perform at home

The cost of owning a vehicle has risen dramatically in recent

years. Though prices at the gas pump have done much

to stretch drivers’ budgets, supply shortages related to the

COVID-19 pandemic hit motorists’ bottom lines even before

the average gallon of gas reached unimaginable levels in mid-

2022. Though it’s certainly not an inexpensive time to own a

vehicle, drivers can take solace knowing that these four basic

vehicle maintenance tasks can be performed at home and save

them money.

1. Change air filter: Among the simplest DIY vehicle maintenance

tasks, changing the air filter on a car or truck requires

no special tools. Changing an air filter can be done in as little

as 10 minutes, though novices might need more time until

they get a feel for what’s under the hood. Vehicle owners’

manuals can indicate where the air filter is and how frequently

it should be replaced.

2. Change wiper blades: Changing wiper blades is another

simple DIY task that doesn’t require any special tools. Streaking

is a telltale sign blades should be replaced, and some

blades even start to come apart after excessive wear and tear.

The time it takes to perform this task could depend on how

• • •

• • •

long it takes to remove the old blades, which can take time

until DIYers get a handle on how to quickly remove them.

3. Oil change: According to Bankrate.com, the average cost

of a top service oil change at six nationwide franchises exceeded

$75 in May 2022. But this relatively simple task can

be performed at home rather easily. Drivers will need to invest

in a ratchet, oil filter wrench, oil pan, and funnel, but that’s all

they need to change their own vehicle oil. A jack will be necessary

as well, but most new vehicles already come with a jack.

4. Tire inflation: Drivers can save on that costly fuel by

keeping their tires properly inflated at all times. Poorly inflated

tires make the engine work harder to get the vehicle down the

road, and that extra work wastes fuel. A portable tire inflator

can read the pressure in each tire and drivers can then inflate

the tires to the PSI recommended in their owner’s manual. A

quality tire inflator can be purchased for less than $100.

Novices may be overcome by nerves when attempting these

jobs for the first time, but online tutorials can help them get

a handle on any task that stretches their abilities to the limit.

If the task seems too tall to tackle at home, take the car to a

trusted mechanic or dealership.

Governor Phil Scott Announces Release of Nearly $30 Million

for Village Water and Wastewater Infrastructure

Governor Phil Scott and the Department of Environmental

Conservation (DEC) announced that nearly $30 million in

American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds, appropriated for

the village water and wastewater (VWWW) initiative, has

now been committed to towns across the state.

“Investing in water, sewer and stormwater initiatives is key

to revitalizing communities and spurring economic growth,”

said Governor Phil Scott. “When you have the needed infrastructure,

you can build more housing and open up more opportunities

for businesses to grow. That’s why securing this

funding was such an important priority for my team, and I’m

grateful to our partners for their work.”

“Investing in village water and wastewater infrastructure is

good for both our environment and the economy,” said Secretary

Julie Moore. “Investments like this can be transformative

for our rural communities, helping support vibrant communities

and climate-friendly land-use, and it’s exactly the type of

initiative we should be pursing with the opportunity this onetime

federal funding provides.”

The VWWW Initiative will help municipalities develop

new public drinking water systems and community wastewater

disposal systems where this critical infrastructure is

lacking. This grant funding will bridge the affordability gap,

protect public health, increase affordable housing, support

economic development, and incentivize compact growth in

Vermont’s designated villages and neighborhoods.

This recent round of award funding will go towards helping

a total of 12 villages: 11 for wastewater and one for drinking

water.

These ARPA funds will be used in a “co-funding” model

with the Clean Water and Drinking Water State Revolving

Funds, USDA - Rural Development support, Northern Border

Regional Commission support, or locally available funding.

Co-funding means that ARPA funding will be used to complement

other funding sources to achieve affordability for the users

of the system. The assistance will be primarily in the form

of grants, and pending eligibility determination, may include

support for planning, design, land purchase, or construction of

active projects.

For more information about ARPA funds visit our website

on Village Water and Wastewater Initiative: https://anr.vermont.gov/special-topics/arpa-vermont/village-water-wastewater-initiative.

Montpelier Receives $4.796 Million in Grants for

Wastewater Infrastructure Upgrades

The City of Montpelier received over $4.796 million in

federal grants for major storm and wastewater infrastructure

upgrades. At the Montpelier City Council Meeting on October

26, Kurt Motyka, the interim director of the Department of

Public Works, announced the city received two grants; one

funded through the United States Department of Agriculture

(USDA), Rural Development and another funded through

monies allocated to Vermont through the American Rescue

Plan Act (ARPA).

The $3.251 million USDA grant will provide funding for

Montpelier’s Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF)

Phase 2 Solids Dryer project and the Reconstruction Project

on East State St. The $1.275 million ARPA grant will fund the

Combined Sewer Overflow (CSO) separation component of

the East State St. Reconstruction Project.

The WRRF project will allow the city to dry the bio-solids

collected from Montpelier and Berlin as well as from septic

tank pumping from around the state. The dewatered solids are

currently trucked to the Coventry landfill, but through the drying

process will be converted to a usable product resulting in

reduced trucking and associated emissions. The project will

also address odor control and rehabilitation of the secondary

settling tanks.

Through the separation of the stormwater from the sewer

system, the East State Street reconstruction project will significantly

reduce the frequency and magnitude of Combined

Sewer Overflows to the Winooski River. This project will also

include the replacement of aging water and sewer systems as

well as streetscape improvements.

“These are major infrastructure projects that will each result

in significant environmental benefits,” said Motyka. “This

funding will help to advance Montpelier’s long-term financial

stability in managing regional bio-solids and ensure a

key advancement in our goal towards the elimination of CSO

events.”

“This investment in Montpelier’s water and waste treatment

infrastructure brings a creative, climate-smart solution

to a difficult community challenge,” said Sarah Waring, State

Director of USDA Rural Development in Vermont and New

Hampshire. “We want to celebrate forward-looking municipal

leaders on this project, and call attention to the project’s lifecycle

approach: waste that becomes usable byproduct to be

recycled back into the economy, a reduction in harmful emissions,

and a healthier, safer place to call home for Montpelier

residents. USDA Rural Development is focused on projects

that advance climate resilience, and we are incredibly proud to

be part of this innovative, multi-faceted project.”
