Norwichs Tiny House Nets AIAVT

Peoples Choice Award

Norwich Universitys
tiny house, the CASA802,
has earned the 2016
Peoples Choice Award
from the Vermont Chapter
of the American Institute
of Architects (AIAVT).
Named
Creating
Affordable Sustainable
A r c h i t e c t u r e
(CASA)802,
the
324-square-foot micro
home was designed and
built by students and faculty members in the
School of Architecture +
Art and the David Crawford School of
Engineering over the 2015-16 academic
year.
The project was funded largely by a grant
from TD Charitable Foundation, the charitable giving arm of TD Bank, which awarded
Norwich $20,000 in February 2015. The
CASA Initiative focuses on research and
development of affordable and well-designed
housing for low-income families in
Vermont.
The house was sold to a low-income
Vermonter at cost and was moved to its permanent location in Shelburne, VT, in
November.
I have had the dream of living small and
energy-efficient for years, CASA802s new
owner, Kym Marie Glynn, said. I am so
grateful to be a part of the movement towards
a more harmonious earth, which I believe the
tiny house movement is a huge part of.
The CASA802 incorporates sustainability
through the use of locally sourced formaldehyde-free birch plywood, low voltage LED
lighting, locally harvested and milled white

cedar siding and pine flooring. High efficiency windows and doors are used throughout the
house, as well as dense pack sustainable cellulose insulated walls, a high efficiency heat
pump, ventilation system and hot water heater, and high energy star appliances. Additional
sustainable features include: low flow shower
fixture, zero VOC paint, Vermont Natural
Coatings low VOC finishes and a reclaimed
sap bucket for the bathroom sink.
The goals of this project are two-fold.
Beyond providing a similar price-point, sustainable and beautiful alternative to the trailer,
CASA802 encourages experiential learning,
said Associate Professor of Architecture Tolya
Stonorov.
The award was announced at AIAVTs
2016 Annual Meeting & Design Awards on
Thursday, Dec. 15 at ArtsRiot in Burlington,
Vt. The jury highlighted the role of students in
its remarks: The budding work of students,
whether it is high school, undergrad or graduate, is vital to the future of our evolving and
complex profession.

Stormwater Master Plan Completed for

the City of Montpelier

The impacts of stormwater on our rivers

and streams has been an increasing topic of
concern in the state over the past few years. In
response, the City of Montpelier added a goal
to its Council priorities in 2014 to develop a
stormwater master plan and in 2015 applied
for and received an Ecosystem Restoration
Program (ERP) grant from the Vermont
Department of Environmental Conservation
to develop the plan. The consulting team of
Stone Environmental and Greenman Pedersen
was hired by the City and recently completed
the project. A copy of the plan is available at
http://www.montpelier-vt.org/documentcenter/view/3620 and is also summarized below.
The goals for stormwater master planning,
and for Montpeliers Stormwater Master Plan,
include:
Identifying as many needs as possible,
along with conceptual projects or solutions to
meet those needs;
Prioritizing potential projects based on
criteria that accounts for both local and statelevel priorities;
Supporting the near term implementation
of one or more projects; and
Providing a basis to move from reactive
one-off projects to a comprehensive and proactive program.
The consultant team collaborated with the
City to develop a thorough understanding of
previous work and the Citys current related
activities. Information was inventoried,
assessed, and documented from a variety of
sources. Through this work a total of 58
potential problem areas were identified

throughout the City. The stormwater problem

areas identified through the screening were
carried forward through a more detailed
examination and prioritization process that
considered possible regulatory changes,
future growth, and the suitability of different
types of best management practices to each
identified problem area.
The highest priority opportunities were
advanced to concept design, including:
Green stormwater infrastructure opportunities to be incorporated with planned road
reconstruction and combined sewer separation.
Addressing areas of steep slopes and concentrated flow adjacent to neighborhood
streets.
Addressing erosion and drainage issues in
Hubbard Parks gravel road network, using
strategies that include ditch and culvert
improvements, plunge pools, and ditch turnouts to sediment basins.
Supporting Montpeliers Department of
Public Works on-going effort to decrease
roadway width (where applicable) to reduce
the amount of impervious surface, and therefore reduce stormwater run-off by developing
approaches for road shoulder protection and
restoration following pavement and subbase
removal.
In addition, three sites were chosen as
models for illustrative concepts for integrating green stormwater management practices
into other City infrastructure (such as roadways and parking lots) in the future, one of
which is shown below.

America's Snake

The Rise and Fall of the Timber Rattlesnake. Author and Naturalist, Ted Levin will discuss a six-year
inquiry into the natural and not-so-natural history of the timber rattlesnake. Ted looks at the biology and
the conservation efforts in New England, to protect timber rattlesnakes, as well as the misguided
attempts to destroy them or to take them home as a pet.
[A]s darkness congealed over the talus, barred owls and coyotes sent vespers across the river while
the stuttering call of an eastern screech owl wafted over the rocks. In early October, if the temperature
remains warm, homebound rattlesnakes stay on the talus; if the temperature falls,
they go under, braided together like so many twists of licorice.

Friday January 27

John OMeara, Associate Professor of Physics at Saint Michaels College will excite viewers with a question that
has inspired humanity, "Are we alone in the universe? Through new technologies and theories, astronomers are

planets like Earth around Sun-like stars in the Galaxy, and the tools and telescopes used to see if life exists
beyond Earth.

skillsare invited to put them to cook in the statewide contest, to be held March 18, 2017 at the Champlain Valley
Exposition in Essex Junction.
This is the tenth consecutive year Jr Iron Chef VT has challenged teams of students to create healthy and delicious
dishes, made from local ingredients, which will ultimately
inspire school lunch menus. Preparing for and participating in
the contest provides hands-on experiential learning which
helps create positive attitudes toward healthy food and a
greater awareness of our local food system.
This year weve got a few special twists in the works, Jr

The contest guidelines are rigorous, intending to demonstrate the real-life challenges that food service face in creating
healthy meals for schools. Two heats will be held the day of
the competition, with 90 minutes of cooking time per heat.
The contest features three award categoriesMise en
Place, Crowd Pleaser, and Lively Localwith winners in
each age group, judged by a panel of judges. Winning teams
receive prize packages, and have an opportunity to feature
their recipes for legislators at the Vermont Statehouse Cafeteria

Jr Iron Chef VT is hosted by Vermont FEED, a collaborative Farm to School Project of NOFA-VT and Shelburne
Farms. From the start, the event has been committed to providing middle and high school students with a hands-on experience cooking nutritious, farm-fresh foods. When the event
began in 2008, 35 teams participated. Last year, 236 students
from every corner of the state competed on 58 teams.

Spaulding High School recognizes students who are good school citizens with the Robert M Burdett Memorial Award, in honor of our former principal. Students must have good attendance, be respectful,

Honoring Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.

in Barre

In honor of Martin Luther King Day, the

acclaimed 2014 film Selma, will be shown
at 4 p.m, on January 15 at the Old Labor Hall
in Barre. The showing is sponsored by the
Barre Historical Society.
Selma chronicles the events surrounding the historic 1965 civil rights marches
from Selma to Montgomery, Alabama led by
Dr. King, John Lewis, and others protesting
the denial of voting rights to black voters.
The marches are credited with leading to the
passage of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
On the first march, on what would be
known as Bloody Sunday, March 7, the
unarmed protesters were violently attack by
local police and Alabama state troopers at
the Edmund Pettus Bridge outside Selma.
Two days later, Dr. King turned a second
march around when it again encountered

police and troopers at the bridge. For the

third march, President Johnson ordered
2,000 U.S. Army soldiers and 1,900 members of the Alabama National Guard, along
with FBI agents and federal marshals, to
protect the marchers, who completed the
54-mile trek to Montgomery three days
later.
Directed by Ava DuVernay and starring
Golden Globe nominee David Oyelowo as
Dr Martin Luther King Jr., Selma was
widely acclaimed by the critics. It received a
Best Picture Oscar nomination and won Best
Original Song at the Academy Awards.
Admission to the Labor Hall showing is
by donation. Light refreshments will be
available. The Hall is at 46 Granite St. in
Barre.

Edward E. Sweeney

Bernard E. Clark

Bernard Bernie E. Clark, 81,

of Barre, passed away on
Saturday, December 31, 2016, at his
home.
Bernard was born on May 10, 1935 at
Heaton Hospital in Montpelier, the son of
Irving G. and Ruth (Maxham) Clark.
He lived in the Shady Rill section of
Middlesex until he was nine years old
when the family moved to Barre where he
attended Lincoln and Mathewson Graded Schools and graduated from Spaulding High School in the Class of 1953.
In April of 1956, he joined the United States Army. He took
his basic training at Fort Carson, Colorado followed by serving sixteen months in Heilbronn, Germany. While in the service, he toured Italy, France, Austria, and Switzerland as well
as several German cities. He was discharged in February of
1958. Following his discharge, he worked for the former Flint
Lumber Company in Barre for two years. He went on to attend
the Northeast Broadcasting School in Boston where he graduated in 1960. After graduation, he worked for Radio Station
WSNO for two years as an announcer.
On July 20, 1963, Bernard married Shirley A. Mason of
Washington. They made their home in Barre all of their married life. In 1963, he went to work at the Lacillade Lumber
Company in Williamstown as a truck driver. He went on to
become their shipping dispatcher and in later years worked in
sales as a window and door specialist retiring in 1997 after
being employed for 34 years. Upon his retirement, he worked
at Howards Market and Hannafords Grocery Store in South
Barre as a parcel attendant.
Bernie was an avid baseball fan. He was very proud of his
baseball and sport card collection. One of the highlights for
him occurred on July 20, 1958. It was Vermont Day at Fenway
Park in Boston. In the first game of the doubleheader, (yes
they did actually play two games for the price of one back
then) Jim Bunning of the visiting Detroit Tigers pitched a nohit, no run game against the home town Red Sox, 3-0. Bernie
made many other trips to Boston to watch the Red Sox play as
well as trips to see the Montreal Expos, the New York
Yankees, the Washington Senators, and the Portland Sea
Dogs. Locally, he attended many games of the old Industrial
League with his father in the 1940s and 1950s. In later years,
he became a fan of the Burlington Baseball teams and more
recently the Vermont Mountaineers in Montpelier. He made a
trip to the Baseball Hall of Fame. He was also a fan of the
former Vermont Frost Heaves basketball team.
Bernie loved to travel and attend concerts. Among his most
memorable trips were to Branson, MO, the Grand Canyon,
and visits to Disney World in Florida. His favorite concerts
were gospel music and country music.
He was a follower of television nightly newscasts, both
local and national. He enjoyed serving on his class reunion
committee and was a life member of the Canadian Club in
Barre. Bernie was active in the First Baptist Church of Barre
where he sang in the choir, attended the Mens Fellowship,
had served as the church school superintendent, was a church
schoolteacher, and had served on the churchs Property
Committee. He also had been a volunteer usher at the Barre
Opera House.
Survivors include his wife of 53 years, Shirley Clark of
Barre; his two daughters, Karen Rielly and her husband,
Patrick of Williamstown and Marilyn Pearson and her husband, Craig of Berlin; two grandsons, Dylan Rielly and Joshua
Pearson; a great-granddaughter, Raelynn Rielly; his sister,
Lorraine Glidden of Northfield; and several nieces, nephews
and cousins.
He was predeceased by his parents and two brothers-in-law,
Howard Glidden and Ronald Mason.
A memorial service celebrating and honoring his life was
held at the First Baptist Church in Barre at 2:00 p.m. on
Saturday, January 7, 2017. Following the service, family and
friends are invited to gather in the churchs fellowship hall for
a time of sharing and refreshments. Additional parking can be
used next door at the Hedding United Methodist Church parking lot.
Family and friends may call at the Hooker and Whitcomb
Funeral Home, 7 Academy Street, Barre on Friday from 6:00
to 8:00 p.m.
A private burial will take place in the Hope Cemetery in
Barre at the convenience of his family.
In lieu of flowers, donations in his memory may be made to
the American Diabetes Association, 77 Hegeman Avenue,
Colchester, VT 05446 or to the First Baptist Church, PO Box
98, Barre, VT 05641.

#1 - Lets shift the revenue
from the sales tax to a different
tax such as gas tax, etc., and
compete with N.H. for business.
#2 - Abolish the BRINE on the
roads.
#3 - Imbalance of the use tax for
cars. Theres a cap of $40,000
which means the people who
can afford (the rich) dont have
to pay tax over $40K plus on
their vehicles.

I hope that he will use his

chance to appoint a Supreme
Court Justice that will be the
best for Vermont and not just
some political appointment.

My Dad, Bob S., would have

plenty of things to say, but Im

Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce

By William D. Moore,
President & CEO
The dawn of a new year brings with
it the hopes and expectations of success that a clean slate always presents.
Concern about the future is always
around us, no more so than at the
changing of the calendar. Success,
however is based upon past experiences and actions.
On January 18th, The Central Vermont Chamber of
Commerce will convene our Annual Meeting at the Capitol
Plaza Hotel in Montpelier. We are honored that our breakfast
meeting (7:30am) will feature an address by Governor Phil
Scott. Governor Scott will be presenting his plan to make
Vermont an appealing place to live and do business in.
The theme of our Annual Meeting is Your Governor,
Your Business, Your Economic Future. Tickets are $35
each for Chamber members, $45 for non-members. Tables of
eight are available for $350, $450 for non-members. Our
Premier Sponsor for the Annual Meeting is Casella Waste
Management. Additional sponsorship opportunities are
available. Call The Chamber at 229-5711 for ticket information or for additional sponsorship information.
Following Governor Scotts remarks, I will be joining a
panel moderated by Chamber Chair, Lindel James from The
Center for Leadership Skills. The panel, including Bonnie
Waninger from the Central Vermont Regional Planning
Commission and Jamie Stewart, Executive Director of the
Central Vermont Economic Development Corporation will
present our thoughts on the regions economy and opportunities for growth.
We will be reviewing some of the achievements The
Chamber accomplished in 2016 and look forward to what

Passion for Parks

By Helen Hossley
Looking through the lens of history
of our parks seems glamorous; conjuring up nostalgia 0for the way they were
in their heyday. We yearn to experience our parks as the pioneers of nature
conservancy did; to be on the cutting
edge of saving special places for future
generations. How fabulous it would
have been to be part of the conversation that John Muir had with Teddy Roosevelt? What about
standing with Ansel Adams while he snapped his magical
photos? We are fortunate to have his exquisite works of art
that capture the essence so completely that it is hard not to fall
in love with the places. How can anyone look at any of his
photos and not vow to protect those vistas as fiercely as a
mother bear protects her cubs?
In December 2016, President Obama used the power
within the Antiquities Act to create two new national monuments expanding the Park System to 416 sites. They are Bear
Ears Buttes in Utah and Gold Butte in Nevada. This executive
order will help preserve sensitive areas from development.
Although some areas within our treasures have been sacrificed to development, in large part the backcountry remains as
wild as nature intended.
For the last 100 years the National Park Service has done the
best they could with what they have. Some would argue that
their best isnt good enough. That there should not be over a
billion dollars in backlogged maintenance, or visitation limits
or compromises with concession companies. Or, or, or
There are numerous non-profit organizations that partner
with the National Park Service that picks up the slack where

2017 presents. We will be saying Good-bye and Thank

You to our retiring Directors, Sue Kruthers, our Past Chair;
Cody Patno from Noyle W. Johnson; and Mike Donovan
from Broadcast Advertising.
Chamber members will be asked to elect the following
nominees to our Board of Directors: Steve Cormier from
Radio Vermont Group; Cheyenne Holland from the
University of Vermont Health Network - Central Vermont
Medical Center; Jessica Jaggars from Norwich University;
and Curtis Ostler from Vermont Technical College.
New Officers for the year will then be elected by the
Board of Directors. Those nominated to be Officers for 2017
include Lindel James, Chair; Ed Larson (Larson Forestry &
Legislative Consulting) Secretary/Treasurer; Kim Bolduc
(Bolduc Metal Recycling), Vice Chair Events; Joe Choquette
(Downs Rachlin Martin), Vice Chair Public Policy; Leslie
Sanborn (R&L Archery), Immediate Past Chair; John
Underwood (The Inn at Montpelier), Vice Chair Tourism;
and Amy White (Peoples United Bank), Vice Chair
Membership.
In addition to reviewing highlights of the Chamber Year,
we will also be presenting our Strategic Plan to the membership. Between May and October, our Board of Directors met
in several sessions and developed a comprehensive threeyear Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan is the result of serious consideration given to all aspects of The Chambers
operation.
It has been an exciting year, a year of change for The
Chamber. I do hope that you can join us at our Annual
Meeting and celebrate with us our many successes.
As we face that clean slate of the New Year, on behalf of
the membership, the Officers, the Board of Directors and the
staff of the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce, I wish
you all happiness and success in 2017. Happy New Year!

the government falls short.

The official charitable partner to our National Park System
is the National Park Foundation. Aided by lobbying efforts of
Lady Bird Johnson and philanthropist Lawrence Rockefeller,
it was charted by Congress in 1967. The Foundation is a way
for private citizens to directly support our parks. The
Foundation focuses on promoting programs and projects that
protect precious landscapes and wilderness, historical sites,
and places of cultural significance.
The National Parks Conservation Association was created
in 1919 whose main focus is lobbying Congress on issues that
either enhance or threaten our parks.
A relatively young organization established in 2003, The
Coalition to Protect Americas National Parks is one of my
favorites. The Coalition brings together over 1,100 former or
retired National Park employees that represent every discipline within the agency. Using their collective, boots on the
ground working knowledge of our park system, they voice
concerns about legislative and policy decisions that diminish
the values and purposes for which the National Park System
was established.
When visiting a park whether its a local, state or National
Park keep in mind:
Someone was passionate and cared enough to lead a
movement to conserve and protect the land for your discovery
and enjoyment.
Volunteers continue to be the heart of day-to-day operations, say thank you once in a while.
Park staff do the best they can with what they have.

A Good Start For Governor Scott

By Tom Hughes
This week, Governor Phil Scott took the oath of office and
issued his first executive order. Its a good one. He directed
every state agency and department to focus on three strategic
priorities:
* strengthening the economy;
* making Vermont more affordable;
* And protecting the most vulnerable.
Thats exactly what cutting carbon pollution would do.
The nations and states that price carbon emissions in order
to reduce pollution have stronger economies than their neighbors that dont.
Since Californias carbon pricing program went into effect
in January 2013, the state has created over 1.5 million new
jobs. Thats twice as many new jobs in California as there are
people in Vermont.
In British Columbia, Canada, the center-right political
party passed North Americas first carbon pollution tax in
2008, and growth in British Columbias gross provincial
product has outpaced every other Canadian province the last
three years running. The model has been so successful that
all of Canada will implement a
carbon price next year.
Denmark, Sweden, Norway,
the UK and many more price
carbon pollution and all have
vibrant economies.
But its not just distant states
and countries that price carbon
pollution.
Vermont has a carbon pollution
price. Thanks to Gov. Jim Douglas
leadership joining the Regional
Greenhouse Gas Initiative,
Vermont has charged for carbon
pollution emitted from electricity
generation since 2008. In that
time, RGGI states have seen 3.6%
more economic growth than states
outside the compact.
Carbon pricing also makes
Vermont more affordable.
When it comes to energy, we
have to acknowledge that fossil
fuels make Vermont more expensive.
As the Vermont
Comprehensive Energy Plan
notes, All petroleum products consumed in Vermont are
imported; the state has no known petroleum reserves. In
2013, the state spent nearly $2.3 billion annually about 8%
of Vermonts GDP on petroleum products that are extracted and refined elsewhere. this is a significant flow of financial resources away from the states economy.
Carbon pricing helps reverse the economic drain fossil
fuels cost Vermont, incentivize locally-generated clean energy and spur job creation and jobs are essential to affordability.
Vermonts energy efficiency programs funded by RGGI
will save Vermonters at least $100 million in energy bills.
Our utilities have largely made the transition to low-carbon
energy while holding rates steady. Residential electric rates in
Vermont are among the lowest in the northeast and lower than

all of our neighboring states.

And RGGI is spurring demand for renewable power in
southern New England, which will benefit Vermonters in the
years ahead. Payments from the Clean Power Link project
that will carry renewable energy from Canada to points south
will start in 2018 and add up to over $400 million over the
next 40 years. These funds will keep electric rates down and
help clean up Lake Champlain.
Finally, carbon pricing, done right, protects and prioritizes
the most vulnerable.
The current situation, where many low-income Vermonters
are dependent on fossil fuels for heating and transportation, is
terribly regressive.
On average, low-income Vermonters use less energy -because many drive smaller cars, dont drive lots of discretionary miles, have smaller homes to heat and keep the thermostat down but they pay a higher percentage of their
income on energy than wealthy Vermonters.
A Vermont Law School study released in 2013 found that
the 10% of Vermonters with the lowest household incomes
spend $2,431 on energy a year or 27.7% of their annual
income. The top 10% spend
$4,042 on energy, but because
their household incomes are so
much higher their energy burden is just 1.9% of their
income.
As Governor Scott knows
from his leadership launching
Wheels for Warmth, when the
energy burden is 15 times higher for some Vermonters than
others it is a huge roadblock for
those working to escape poverty.
Carbon pricing can help
bridge that gap, because it can
fund much-needed low-income
weatherization, public transportation, and the transition to
lower cost, low-carbon solutions for home heating and
transportation.
As Governor Scott noted in
his inaugural address, Doing
things the way weve always
done them and hoping for a different result, will not bring about the change we need. True.
And, If we want a system that draws people to Vermont, we
cant be paralyzed by fear of change. True again. Those
sentiments are a good place to start.
Energy Independent Vermont looks forward to working
with Governor Scott, the General Assembly, and all Vermonters
to build on those sentiments and find new ways to clean our
environment, strengthen our economy, make our state more
affordable, and protect the most vulnerable Vermonters.
Tom Hughes is the campaign director of Energy Independent
Vermont a coalition of Vermont businesses, non-profits,
low-income service providers, students, clergy and academics
working together to price carbon pollution and strengthen the
Vermont economy.

All petroleum products

consumed in Vermont are
imported; the state has no
known petroleum reserves.
In 2013, the state spent
nearly $2.3 billion annually
about 8% of Vermonts
GDP on petroleum
products that are extracted
and refined elsewhere. this
is a significant flow of

Central Vermont RPC Seeks Transportation

Planning and Study Ideas

The public is invited to offer suggestions to the Central

Vermont Regional Planning Commission (CVRPC) for transportation planning projects that would benefit Washington
County and the towns of Orange, Washington, and
Williamstown. Help us make getting around easier, safer, and
more convenient for everyone by contributing your transportation planning and study ideas.
CVRPC will complete up to $70,000 in transportation special projects and studies using funding from the Vermont
Agency of Transportations Transportation Planning Initiative.
We would appreciate your ideas for projects that would benefit Central Vermont. While our funds cannot be used for
construction, our planning helps shape projects for future
construction.
Projects might benefit any transportation system, such as
rail, transit, aviation, roads, bicycle or pedestrian. Ideas can
vary from specific intersection improvements to multi-town
road improvement plans to applying green infrastructure to
neighborhood streets.
Project ideas should be submitted in writing to Bonnie

Waninger, Executive Director, Waninger@cvregion.com, by

January 27, 2017. Please describe the type and location of the
project. Residents are strongly encouraged to discuss project
ideas with their municipal staff and officials as local support
and involvement are typically required for a project. Projects
will be reviewed and prioritized by CVRPCs Transportation
Advisory Committee.
The CVRPC provides planning and technical assistance
in the areas of community development, transportation,
natural resources, housing, economic development, and
emergency management to 23 municipalities in Central
Vermont, including all of Washington County and Orange,
Washington, and Williamstown in Orange County. The
collaboration between CVRPC, Central Vermont municipalities, and other related resource agencies results in the
development and implementation of plans that support
sustainable development and improve the regions economy, environment, and quality of life. For more information
about the CVRPC, please visit www.centralvtplanning.

Vermont Brewers Association Welcomes 50th Member

The Vermont Brewers Association (VBA) is pleased to

welcome Red Barn Brewing out of Danville, VT as the 50th
member of the Association. In 2016, the VBA welcomed 11
new breweries as members.
After home brewing for a number of years, owners and
brewers Peter McAlenney and Jeremy McMullen and their
wives Judi and Erin, opened their doors to the public in June
of 2016. Their brewery and tasting room was built by the
owners in an 1840s barn. They are currently serving up a
range of beer styles including an IPA, Double IPA, American
Pale Ale, English Ale, a Porter, a Vienna Lager, and a Kolsch.
The brewery currently operates on a 1-barrel system, but has
plans for beer distribution and expanding to brewing on a
5-barrel system.
Owner Peter McAlenney says, Being a part of the VBA

will allow us access to knowledge and experiences from a

group of extremely talented brewers from some of the most
respected breweries in the world. That has significant value,
and we are excited to be included!
VBA Executive Director Melissa Corbin added, We are
thrilled to have Red Barn Brewing as the 50th member of our
Association. They are putting out quality products in a quintessential Vermont location. I look forward to seeing how their
business grows now that they are part of our Brewery
Challenge passport program.
Beer lovers can find Red Barn Brewing at 2170 Oneida Rd
in Danville. The tasting room is open Fridays 5-8 p.m. and
Saturdays 3-7 p.m. For more information, visit redbarnbrewingvt.com.

Vermont Dog Boarding & Behavior Offers

Free Workshop on Dog Behavior

On Saturday and Sunday, January 28 and 29 from 9 a.m. to

4 p.m., Vermont Dog Boarding & Behavior is offering a free
Complicated Canines Workshop to be held at the Hyde Park
VFW Post 7779 and will be taught by Ian Grant.
Dogs can be complicated on many levels and these two
days will help remove the complication that dogs can sometimes create. This will be an interactive workshop with lecture, video, demonstrations, and materials.
The VFW can seat about 300 people. Grant has tried to host
seminars like this in the past, but ended up with little to no
interest because he was charging for it. He hopes that with the
free workshops, at least 100 people will come.
My goal is to educate as many people about dogs as possible and for fewer dogs to show up in shelters, he said. My

Red Cross Issues an Emergency Call for Blood and

Platelet Donations during Severe Winter Blood Shortage

The American Red Cross has a severe winter blood shortage and is issuing an emergency call for blood and platelet
donors to make a donation appointment now and help save
patient lives.
Hectic holiday schedules for many regular blood donors
contributed to about 37,000 fewer donations in November and
December than what was needed. Snowstorms and severe
weather have also impacted donations. Nearly 100 blood
drives were forced to cancel in December, resulting in more
than 3,100 blood donations going uncollected.
Blood and platelet donations are critically needed in the
coming days so that patients can continue to receive the lifesaving treatments they are counting on, said Mary Brant,
external communications manager for the Northern New
England Region. We encourage donors to invite a family
member or friend to donate with them to help meet patient
needs. Right now, blood and platelet donations are being distributed to hospitals faster than they are coming in.
How to help
Find a blood donation opportunity and schedule an appointment to donate by using the free Blood Donor App, visiting
redcrossblood.org or calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-7332767). The Red Cross is extending hours at many donation
sites for more donors to give blood or platelets. Overall, the

Red Cross has added nearly 200 hours to blood donation centers and community blood drives across the country over the
next few weeks. Donation appointments and completion of a
RapidPass online health history questionnaire are encouraged
to help speed up the donation process.
In about an hour, you can help save someones life. This
simple act can have a profound impact on another human
being, said Brant.
Who blood donations help
Every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood.
Accident and burn victims, heart surgery and organ transplant
patients, and patients receiving treatment for leukemia, cancer
or sickle cell disease may all require blood to save their
lives.
The treatments high school freshman Payton Kannarr
receives to fight leukemia cause her blood counts to drop. She
currently receives platelet transfusions weekly and red blood
cells about every two weeks.
We have seen firsthand the incredible need for blood products as we have been on this four-year roller coaster journey,
said Amy Kannarr, Paytons mom. Through the care and
compassion of donors, Payton has been able to enjoy life as a
teenager.

Lifesaving Facts about Teen Suicide

Parents have been asking me

some tough questions recently
about their teenagers being stressed
to the point that they might try to
hurt themselves or even try to commit suicide. Rather than stress out
parents on a topic few people want
to discuss, let me try to provide
some helpful information.
It is important for parents to be aware that
suicide is now the second leading cause of
death for 15- to 24-year-olds (surpassed by
accidents). The risk of teen suicide is 4 to 10
times higher if teens have access to firearms
in the home.
So who is at risk for thinking about suicide? Usually its the teen who feels disconnected and isolated from family and friends,
or who might have an underlying and undetected psychological disorder like depression.
Often a stressful event such as failure at
school, a breakup with a boyfriend or girlfriend, or a major family conflict can trigger
thoughts of suicide in a teen.
So what can parents do?
First, be aware of some warning signs,
such as when your teen appears to pull away
from family and friends, is no longer eating or
sleeping well, and suddenly starts showing
signs of self-destructive behavior like drinking and taking drugs, especially when they
have never done this type of behavior before.
If you do see any of these signs in your

teen, dont be afraid to use the

word suicide in a conversation with
your teen, since getting the word
out in the open may help your teenager understand that someone has
heard his or her cries for help. This
does not plant the idea into their
head, but enables you to get them
help before something bad happens.
There is also a national suicide hotline
number, 1-800-SUICIDE, that can help get
your teen the emergency help they need. Of
course, your older child or teens health care
professional is always poised to help if you
are worried about your teen thinking about
suicide. If you do own a gun and think your
teen is depressed or having mood swings,
store your gun outside your home for the time
being until your teen gets the help he or she
needs.
While suicide prevention is not an easy
topic to think about, hopefully raising your
awareness about this topic may allow you to
be a lifesaver for someone you love.

The Yankee Chef

TM

My name is James Bailey and I AM THE YANKEE CHEF! I have been cooking since the
age of 14 years, when my Dad opened his third restaurant in Maine. I currently write
food columns for several New England newspapers, The Maine Edge (found online at
themaineedge.com) and the Villager Newspaper (found online at villagernewspaper.
net). I have written several cookbooks and I blog at theyankeechef.blogspot.com. Find
me on Twitter and check out my youtube videos. I am also a Yankee Food Historian and
a professional genealogist. Visit my website at www.theyankeechef.com

NutellaTM Cookie
Crunch Cake

I am hesitant about using the name Nutella

because it IS a brand, and with all the issues
that I faced about registering The Yankee Chef,
it simply rubs me the wrong way. But one taste
of that deliciously creamy spread and I was
hooked. It wasnt long before I made one of the
best coffeecake-like desserts using this hazelnut
spread. This recipe is a sugar cookie dough with
an additional egg. You will adore the crispy
topping, as will the super easy preparation.
Cake:
Nonstick cooking spray
1 stick(1/2-cup) butter or margarine,
softened
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 cup our
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 cup hazelnut spread
Topping:
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon melted butter or margarine
Nutella Cookie Crunch Cake Directions
Grease a 9-inch cake pan with nonstick cooking
spray; set aside. Preheat oven to 350-degrees F.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until very
smooth with an electric mixer. Add eggs and
vanilla, continuing to beat until smooth once
again.

9th Chakra Activation Technique Workshop:

Healing Arts Questions and Answers

January 16th, 2017 4-6 pm
at Many Words Herbs in the First In Fitness Building
Do you have neck, back, hips, knees, ankles, arms and joint pain?
Does any of your joints become frozen? Do you have swelling,
pinched nerves, bulging disks? Do you suffer from planters
fasciitis? Do suffer from anxiety or a sensitive stomach? Do
you have TMJ or jaw pressure? Have you every suffered from
concussion or head trauma? Are your leg lengths different?

If you answered yes to any of those questions than this

workshop may be for you.
We will be talking about the 9th Chakra Activation Technique. Because this is a
new/ancient technique I will be answering questions like what exactly is the 9th
Chakra Activation Technique. Is it Spiritual? Is it Reiki? Is it physical? Is there
science behind it? How can it help you in your healing?
Also, Carey Kimball from Professional Massage and Skin Care Studio will be
on locations offering 10-15 minute chair massages by donation.

In another bowl, blend the our with the baking

powder and baking soda. Add to butter mixture
and beat until well mixed. It will be thick.
Transfer dough to prepared cake pan.
Microwave hazelnut spread for about 30 seconds,
removing to stir until creamy and thinned out. If
more time is needed for it to completely melt,
heat in 15 second increments.
Heavily drizzle over the top, running a butter
knife into the batter, creating a somewhat
marbling effect and slightly combining the
nutella with batter.
Meanwhile for the topping, mix sugar, cinnamon
and melted butter with a fork until evenly
blended. Sprinkle over the top of the cake and
bake 24 minutes. The center will feel very
doughy and undone, but that is the effect we
want.
Remove from oven to cool before serving. Add
additional melted hazelnut spread over the top
if desired.

You and your friends are invited to come and learn more about this ancient
technique. This is a free workshop. All who attend will receive a $100 discount

Best Of 2016: Four Major Stories Youll Want To Remember In 2017

ur feature articles usually go into

depth about issues youve told
us are of primary importance to
you. Thats why weve chosen a
quick review of four popular features as we
head into 2017: Keeping Lost Weight Lost!
Discovering Foods Hidden Superpowers!
Amping Up Sperm Potency! Redefining
Addiction!

NO. 1: KEEPING LOST WEIGHT LOST

Recent studies on metabolism and weight loss could help you succeed at a task thats even tougher than losing weight: keeping it off.
Heres what to do:
Pamper muscle mass: The smart move is to lose weight slowly,
preserving more muscle mass than extreme weight-loss programs
allow.
Feed and flex your muscles: As youre losing weight and afterward, build muscle with strength training two to three days weekly,
and eat enough protein to feed those lean, sexy muscles. (If you
dont, youll gain weight unless you slash calories.)
Give yourself a year to let your new weight become your new
normal: A University of Copenhagen study found that levels of the
feed me! hormone ghrelin rise during weight loss, but normalize
about a year later.
NO. 2: DISCOVERING FOODS HIDDEN SUPERPOWERS
You know fruits and veggies are good for you, but did you remember that they can convey these benefits?
They help you breathe easy: In one study, 68 percent of folks who
ate 17.5 grams of fiber or more daily had normal lung function compared to just 50 percent of those who got 10 grams of fiber or less!
Stay slim: A Harvard study found that eating more fruits and veg-

gies (blueberries, pears and peppers) rich in plant compounds called

flavonoids makes you less likely to gain weight.
Feed good gut bugs: Spinach, kale, lettuce and collards feed goodfor-you intestinal bacteria that keep your digestive system healthy
and help shut out bad bacteria.
NO. 3: AMPING UP SPERM POTENCY
A Harris Poll revealed that two out of three men dont do much
to support healthy male fertility. For those couples wanting to start a
family, heres how to increase your chances.
Wear boxers during the day, sleep naked at night: In a yearlong
study, guys who did that had 25 percent less DNA damage to their
sperm than men who wore snug briefs around the clock.
Use a mineral-based zinc or titanium-dioxide sunscreen: Other
ingredients found in sunscreens (such as avobenzone, homosalate,
octinoxate and more) may impair sperms ability to fertilize a human
egg!
Up the vites: Protect yourself by taking a daily multivitamin
several months before you two try to conceive. DHA omega-3 (900

mg daily) is important for both of you.

Relax: According to a Rutgers University study, feeling stressed
out could reduce sperm concentration and leave more sperm deformed or unable to complete their great race to the egg.
Skip the drinks and smokes: Tobacco use can slash sperm count.
And having more than one drink per day could mess with the shape
of sperm.
Move it: Getting plenty of vigorous exercise could increase sperm
counts by as much as 73 (thats right, 73) percent!
NO. 4: REDEFINING ADDICTION
Facing Addiction in America: The Surgeon Generals Report on
Alcohol, Drugs and Health stresses that too many people consider
addiction a moral failing, when in reality its a chronic disease of the
brain.
Attitude adjustment: If you know someone struggling with addiction, its important to tell them and yourself: Its not something to
be ashamed of. Its a disease like any other, and it can be treated.
Help your kids dodge the threat: To help your children understand
the dangers of recreational drugs, The Dr. Oz Show worked with
the governments Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services
Administration to create a guide based on the findings of the Surgeon
Generals report, called Facing Addiction Over Dinner. It takes
the leading science on what causes addiction and how to prevent and
treat it, and puts it into a format that can help you turn this knowledge into action in your own dining room! Download it for free at:

HEALTHY NEW YEAR | HEALTHY GOALS

Get Fit

reating a health-inspired resolution for

the New Year is a great way to start on
a positive note. A reasonable place to start is
by promising yourself to get fit this year.
Maybe you overindulged
during the holiday season or
have been meaning to get in
shape for some time. Either
way, the New Year is a great
time to improve your
health-related decision-making. Join millions of
Americans this year and create a resolution that will benefit your health and put you
on the path to sustainable
well-being.

that fits your needs. Most
gyms offer reduced fees if you
purchase annually rather
than monthly.
Putting up a good chunk of
change at once could be a
good way to ensure that you
will stay with your new gym
commitment as the weather
warms.

CONSULT WITH A
DOCTOR

Getting fit will benefit you

physically and mentally. Once
you get in a solid rhythm in
your new, active lifestyle, you
will notice a higher level of
endurance, which makes
exercise easier to complete.
You also will notice higher
self-esteem. Regular physical
activity has been proven to
improve your confidence,
especially when it is associated with more energy and
accelerated weight loss.
Exercise will increase the
number of calories you are
able to burn and will raise
your resting metabolism. That
means youre even burning
calories while you rest. There
also are great improvements
going on inside your body.
Although you may not be able
to physically see the changes,
regular exercise is reducing
your blood pressure and risk
of heart disease.

This may seem a little

counter intuitive. After all,
youre planning to begin an
exercise and diet program so
you can avoid trips to the
doctor. This is a crucial step,
however, as certain conditions can be aggravated by
strenuous activity such as
exercise.
Before you begin a new
exercise or diet program, The
Mayo Clinic recommends
consulting with your doctor
to check for signs of heart disease, diabetes or even arthritis. People with these conditions may need to follow a
special exercise program.

Its our mission to protect and promote the best health for
all Vermonters, and our website supports every aspect of our
work, said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD. But for
the needs of 21st Century users, our 3,000-plus page website
was no longer ready for prime time. It had grown old and
outdated, difficult to manage, difficult to navigate, and was
not mobile-friendly. This effort was a year-long labor of love
for all of us here at the Health Department. Im very excited
about it.
The new website includes responsive design for mobile
and tablet users, and features intelligent navigation offering
visitors several ways to find information. Much like a shopping site, healthvermont.gov will serve up related content to
users that they might not have thought to check out. Content
is categorized and tagged in a way that collects relevant
information from across subject areas, and presents it in an
easy to find format.
On the home page, the left-hand navigation bar prominently displays content organized into 13 subject areas from Alcohol and Drug Abuse, to Public Health Laboratory, to News
and Information Resources. The top navigation bar has links
to Get Help Now information lines, a powerful search engine, websites and alerts, as well as the departments Twitter
feed. Other features of the new site include an audio/visual

library, easily accessible resources translated in a number of

languages, and Performance Scorecards to see how well the
department is doing to meet its public health goals.
Visitors to the home page will quickly see feature items
like January is Radon Action Month, popular topics, upcoming events, and Interest Groups. Interest Groups are another way people can explore content relevant to the interests
of parents, youth, older adults, LGBTQ, town health officers
and local officials, caregivers, new arrivals to Vermont...and
more. Health professionals will find easier access to the tools,
registries and information needed to support top-level care.
While most of our content and documents have been
migrated into the new system, the site is an ongoing work
in progress, said Dr. Chen. Visitors will find the pages
continue to build content over the coming days and weeks,
as we streamline information and enliven our website with
photos of public health in action. We welcome comments and

HEALTHY NEW YEAR | MENTAL HEALTH

Reconnect With Family

M

any families fall victim to lifes busy requirements. Some use an eventful
lifestyle as an excuse for not being seriously active in their familys lives.
This year, make a resolution to make your family stronger by reconnecting.

Having tension within your

family can lead to disorders
such as anxiety or depression.
It is important to stay close
with your family members
even if the situation causes discomfort.

SIGNS OF MENTAL HEALTH

DISORDERS
The National Alliance on
Mental Illness reports that 43.8
million adults in America will
suffer from some form of mental illness each year. Here are
some warning signs the organization reports could be connected to mental health issues:
Suddenly becoming high
risk and making out-of-control
decisions;
Significant changes in
weight (large gains or losses);
Excessive use of drugs or
alcohol; and
Sad or unmotivated feelings that last longer than two
weeks.
If you notice any of these
warning signs, contact your
doctor and discuss your feelings and concerns about mental health.

FAMILY RELATIONSHIPS
Having a strong family bond
will lower your risk of mental
illnesses. A robust relationship
gives you a sense of belonging
and purpose and will even
boost your confidence and
lower stress.
It may seem like a challenge

FOTOLIA

to reconnect with family members with whom you have lost

touch. Be it due to disagreements, long distances or even
just disconnecting due to a
busy schedule, rebuilding your

relationship will give you a

sense of contentment and happiness. Strong family bonds
can even cause an improvement in blood pressure and
increase life expectancy.

REBUILDING THE BOND

To rebuild a relationship
with a family member, it is
crucial that both parties are
on board with reconnecting.
If the feeling and effort is

mutual, participating in short,

direct conversations can be a
great start. Once you regain
familiarity and trust, longer
conversations will soon follow.

HEALTHY NEW YEAR | STAY ON TRACK

Tips for realizing goals in the year ahead

he dawn of a new year represents

a chance to start anew and set
goals for the months ahead. New
Years resolutions are often made
to provide the motivation people need to
improve their lives and make a new year as
productive and happy as possible.
While people who make New Years resolutions
fully intend to realize those goals, few actually stick to
the game plan. According to researchers at the University of Scranton, just 8 percent of people who make
their New Years resolutions actually achieve those
resolutions. While that might make it seem like the
odds are against men and women who have resolved to
improve their lives in the year ahead, the following tips
can help adults realize their goals for the new year and
beyond.
Emphasize time management. Hectic schedules
can quickly derail resolutions. Many people want to
eat healthier and exercise more but find their time is
stretched pretty thin, which can make it difficult to get
to the gym or prepare healthy meals at home. Finding ways to manage time more effectively can make
it easier to stay committed to New Years resolutions.
Right down your daily schedule and look for ways to
free up time. If you routinely take an hour for lunch
each day, use that time to exercise and eat at your desk
when you return from your walk, workout or jog. Try
to wake up 30 to 60 minutes earlier each morning to
exercise, and make use of time before bed by preparing
a healthy lunch for the following day.
Make your goals public. By publicly declaring your
intention to improve your life, youre putting some
positive pressure on yourself to fully commit to your
goal. Friends and loved ones can be great sources of
support, and once theyre aware of your efforts, you
likely wont want to let them down. Once you have
decided on a resolution, post your short-term and
long-term goals to your Facebook page or let your immediate family and closest friends know of your goals
in person. Their encouragement can help you stay on
track, and they may even offer to help you realize your
goals.
Keep track of your progress. Keep a resolutions

journal or start a blog that allows you to write about

your efforts. If your goal is to pay down debt, make
a spreadsheet that tracks your progress. That spreadsheet might be more motivational than simply seeing
a loan or credit card balance gradually reduce on your
monthly statement. Writing about your trials and errors
can help others and also provide a great way for you to
explore your approach and tinker with it to ensure your
ultimate success.
Expect setbacks. If realizing resolutions was easy,
the success rate would be greater than 8 percent. Setbacks are inevitable, so dont allow them to derail your

efforts. Even if setbacks occur when youre well on

your way to success, regroup and get back on track
without getting down on yourself.
Reward yourself. Dont hesitate to reward
yourself as you realize your short-term goals and
draw closer to making your long-term goal a reality.
For example, if weight loss is your goal and youve
adhered to your diet and lost some weight, reward
yourself with a favorite meal eaten in moderation.
New Years resolutions may be difficult to realize,
but a few simple strategies can help you achieve your
goals and enjoy the fruits of your hard work.

How to adjust to a healthier diet

hange often requires an adjustment period. Men and women

who switch jobs may need a few weeks before they feel fully
comfortable in a new office, while students changing schools
may also need some time to adapt to their new surroundings.

An adjustment period is also common

when people decide to adopt healthier diets.
Diet is often habit-forming, and men and
women will need some time to adjust as
they kick some bad dietary habits in favor
of healthier fare. The following are some
simple ways to make that adjustment period
a little easier to swallow.
Go slowly. Some people are capable of
going cold turkey when adjusting to a new
diet, while others must take a more gradual
approach. Unless a health condition that
requires immediate change is driving your
dietary changes, take things slowly so your
body acclimates to its new diet over time.
Such an approach may make your efforts
more successful over the long haul than
making more sudden, drastic changes.
Explain your motivation to loved ones.
Adults, especially married men and women
and parents, may find adjusting to a new diet
especially difficult unless their spouses and/
or families are making similar adjustments.
If you are the only member of your household who will be adjusting to a new diet,
explain your efforts and motivation to your
loved ones. Such an explanation will make
them less likely to bring unhealthy foods
into your home.

Embrace positive results, even if they are

initially underwhelming. Just because you
have adopted a new diet does not mean you
will see immediate results. Fad diets meant
to last just a few weeks may produce immediate results, but such results likely will not
withstand the test of time, and you may even
gain weight when you revert to some of your
old eating habits. The right diet will produce
long-lasting results, but you must allow for
some time before such diets lead to significant weight loss. In the meantime, place
more emphasis on how you feel than the
figure that shows up on your bathroom scale
each morning. Upon adopting a healthier
diet, you will start to notice how much better
you feel than you felt when eating a diet
filled with fatty, unhealthy foods.
Dont give up. Your adjustment period
will require some discipline, and there may
be moments when you backslide into bad
habits. If that happens, dont allow it to derail all of the progress you have made since
switching to a healthier diet. Just accept that
you had a setback and resolve to do your
best to avoid having another one. The sooner
you get back on a healthier track, the better
you will feel.

HEALTHY NEW YEAR | BREAKING BAD HABITS

Quit Smoking
E

ach year more

than 160 million
Americans make
New Years
resolutions. The
American Lung
Association reports
that quitting
smoking is the most
common resolution.
And according to the
Centers for Disease Control
and Prevention, there are 50
million more former smokers
than current smokers. Those
successful quitters have utilized high levels of determination and developed a quit plan
to kick the habit. Engage in
some of these helpful tips to be
smoke-free for the New Year.

EFFECTIVE QUIT PLAN

Many smokers who decide
to use the cold turkey method
giving up cigarettes all at
once often fail. Quitting
cold turkey will cause nicotine
withdrawal symptoms that
may include insomnia, irritability, poor concentration and
headaches.
If you think these withdrawals are too much for you, there
are still effective ways to go
about quitting. According to
the CDC, a quit plan should
include:
Picking a quit date. Plan to
cut down on your level of nicotine so you can meet your goal.

ve received inquiries regarding how to

know when youre loved one should go
into a long term care facility, instead of

deciding factors in making this decision, many
of which depend on what the situation is.
Below are a couple of the emails/letters, I
recently received followed by some suggestions/recommendations:
Dear Grace,
Im caring for my husband who had a stroke several years
ago. He was left with some loss of function on his right side
and has difficulty talking. Ive noticed recently that he is

if he would be better cared for in a nursing home. How do I
make that decision?

MEDICAL ASSISTANCE

There are many different

medications available to assist
in quitting smoking. The downside to some over-the-counter
medicines is that you will still
rely on nicotine. Products such
as patches or gums will release
levels of nicotine in your
bloodstream to relieve the

race

Dear Cara & Sherri,

Making this decision is extremely challenging and complex. My first recommendation is that you reach out to family, friends and your loved ones health care team to assist
you in the process. You dont have to navigate this territory
alone. Below are some questions that may help guide you in
this process and help you to realistically assess how the home
situation is working.
Is your loved ones health stable?
Do you have adequate help and financial resources to care
for him/her?
Is your loved one safe at home?
Is your loved one content at home?
Do you have necessary time apart from your loved one?
Are you physically and emotionally able to continue caring for your loved one at home?
If you can answer yes to the above questions, then you
can rest assured that you have time to make this decision
and immediate placement is not indicated. Use this time to
research the options available and begin visiting facilities
and reaching out to community agencies such as your local
council on aging. Examine the financial situation and explore
what assistance may be available to assist with funding long
term care placement.
When the stress level of caring for your loved one at home
has reached an intense level which puts your own health and/
or their health in jeopardy, it may be time to push forward

HEALTHY NEW YEAR | MAKING TIME FOR YOURSELF

A Vacation from Stress

S

tress is sometimes unavoidable. Among deadlines, financial issues and

family responsibilities, it might feel like you cant get caught up emotionally.
There are several crucial reasons to learn to cut the stress out this New Year.

Low levels of stress can be

good for you, even causing
hormones to overload your
body that will increase your
heart rate and give an energy
boost. When stress begins
interfering with your ability to
lead a normal life, it becomes
dangerous. This January, plan
a vacation to reset your stress
levels.

DONT STRESS
ABOUT PLANNING
The whole point of taking a
stress-free vacation is to avoid
the pressures of your everyday
life. Planning a vacation can
get stressful if youre attempting to do it alone. Instead,
enlist the help of your local
travel agency.
Professional agents can take
control by booking hotel
rooms and flight tickets, and
can even provide an itinerary
of attractions at your destination.

CHOOSING A DESTINATION
When planning your vacation spot, decide on your getaway goals. For instance, if
long lines or big crowds arent
your idea of relaxing, you may
benefit from booking a trip to
a less popular vacation destination. America is full of beautiful places that arent considered tourist hotspots.
The time of year can also
play a major role in how busy
a destination will be. Do some

FOTOLIA

research to find out when your

dream destination is busiest.
Planning around their slow
times may save you money
and will cut down on the
crowds.

SECURE YOUR HOME

Leaving your home for a
long period of time can be
stressful. The last thing you
want to do on your vacation is
worry about your house being

taken care of. Find a reliable

house sitter to check in on
your home or even stay while
you are gone.
In addition to a house sitter,
it is a good idea to talk to a

HEALTHY NEW YEAR | GIVING BACK

Sign Up to Volunteer
V

olunteering for a cause that is important to you will give you a

sense of purpose. Start your New Year off with a promise to put
others before you and notice great benefits to your overall health.

Committing to volunteering
is a worthy responsibility with
a great payoff. By solving
problems and improving
lives, you can expect to feel a
large sense of pride and
accomplishment. Sharing
your time to help a cause that
you feel strongly about can
help you transform your own
life.

HOW TO CHOOSE
AN ACTIVITY
When choosing an organization to support, be sure you
can fully commit.
Volunteering means you wont
be financially compensated
for your efforts. Instead, youll
receive a greater feeling of
self-worth, an opportunity to
expand your social presence
and a way to give back to your
community.
Do research on causes that
are important to you to find
the right group to join. Once
you have decided on a cause
that can benefit from your
assistance, head to your local
volunteer center to see how
you can offer your services.

HEALTH BENEFITS
OF VOLUNTEERING
The AARP reports that
many mental and physical
benefits are gained by
Americans aged over 65 who
volunteer. Some of these benefits include:
A lower risk of depres-

FOTOLIA

sion. Increased social interaction builds a solid system of

commitment and interest.
These two traits have been
shown to decrease depression.
Keeps you active. Staying
active as you age is a great
way to increase brain func-

tion.
Reduces stress. Helping
others gives you a sense of
calm and meaning.
Longer lifespan. Studies
show that volunteers over 65
have less than half the risk of
death compared to non-volunteers.

HEALTHY NEW YEAR | STRATEGIES FOR SUCCESS

Achieve Your Resolution

N

ew Years
resolutions are
easy to make but
can be challenging
to achieve. The trick
is to not make a
resolution that is
overly challenging
but one that is
within your grasp.
Resolutions can range from
behavior changes to new
goals depending on your lifestyle and goals. Perhaps you
want to spend this New Year
becoming healthy or you have
made a goal to reach the next
level in your career. Either
way, there are tips you can
use to be certain that your
goal is achieved.

PLAN YOUR RESOLUTION

A resolution should not be
made in the spur of the
moment as the holiday
approaches. Take a few
months leading up to the
New Year to create a resolution and a plan how you will
achieve it.
While you should sprinkle
in different goals for yourself
throughout the year, only
choose one resolution each
year. This should be your
main focus. Be sure to choose
one that is extremely important to you and one you can
put the majority of your
efforts into achieving.

FOTOLIA

MOVING FORWARD
Define sub-goals that will
eventually guide you in completing your main resolution.
These sub-goals should be
limited by certain dates
throughout the year.
Set small rewards for yourself as these sub-goals are

DONT GET DISCOURAGED

Its important to remember
that you are human. You will
likely stray from your New
Years resolution from time to
time. The important thing to
remember is that any setback

DONT FORGET ABOUT YOUR EYES!

1) Eating Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, lutein,

zinc and vitamins C and E can help fight off agerelated vision problems like macular degeneration and
cataracts.
2) Stop Smoking! Smoking makes you more susceptible
to many ocular diseases. QUIT in 2017!
3) Wear Sunglasses! Too much UV exposure can cause
damage to your eye health.
4) Take breaks from electronics - Computer Vision
Syndrome can cause eye strain, blurry vision, trouble
focusing, dry eyes, headaches, and even neck and
shoulder pain. Remember the 20/20/20 Rule!
5) Visit your Eye care professional! At Shippee

reason to give up.
Find family members or
friends who also are committing to a resolution and use
each other as a support system. Kind words can be great
motivation to stay on the right
path.

with long term care placement. Below are some indicators to

watch for.
Caregivers physical and/or emotional health is in decline
A health emergency arises for you or your loved one
Caregivers significant relationships are suffering
Your loved ones challenging behaviors are aggressive
and are putting you or them in danger
Your loved ones safety is at risk within the home
Either your healthcare team or your loved ones healthcare team is suggesting long term care placement
It is normal to feel guilty when it comes time for facility placement. This will pass as you begin to adjust to the
change. Your role of caregiver is not coming to an end but it
will change. Often placement allows families to have more
relaxed and enjoyable time to spend with their loved one. I
hope this information is helpful.

Vt Fish & Wildlife Initiates Moose Study

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is initiating

a multi-year study to better understand the states moose
herd.
Moose across the Northeast are increasingly under
stress from a parasite known as winter ticks. The ticks
are becoming more prolific as spring and fall weather
has warmed in recent years, causing some moose to collapse from blood loss or die from hypothermia after
rubbing their insulating hair off in an attempt to rid
themselves of the parasite.
Beginning in January 2017, researchers with the Fish
& Wildlife Department will start placing radio-collars
on up to 60 wild moose to follow their movements and
determine causes of mortality. Moose will be captured
by expert wildlife capture contractors using nets from
helicopters via well-established techniques that minimize stress and harm to the animal. Department staff
will then track these moose for several years using the
GPS points gathered by the collars, and by visiting
moose directly in the field to record observations.
Vermont is the fourth northeastern state to partake in
such a study state fish and wildlife agencies in New
Hampshire, Maine, and New York are currently using
the same methods to examine their moose herds.
Biologists hope to better understand whether
Vermonts moose calves are surviving to adulthood.
They want to know what is causing the death of any
moose that die during the study period, including those
that are killed by predators such as coyotes or bears, and
those that die from brainworm infections or stress
caused by winter tick parasites. Biologists will also
examine whether female moose are successfully reproducing and where their young go after they leave their
mothers side.
Moose face a variety of potential threats in the northeast, from warmer temperatures to dramatically increased
parasite loads and habitat fragmentation, said Cedric
Alexander, Vermont Fish & Wildlifes lead moose biologist. It is important that we understand how much these
factors are affecting our moose population in Vermont.
Our moose conservation efforts must be based on a
strong foundation of science if we are to understand and
address these threats in the long term.
Vermonts moose herd has decreased from an estimated high of over 5,000 individuals in the state in the
early 2000s to roughly 2,200 today. The majority of the
reduction in the number of moose was a deliberate effort
by biologists to bring the herd into better balance with
available habitat at a time they were considered overabundant. A single moose can eat over 25 pounds of
food a day and their browsing was damaging forest eco-

systems, harming not only their own habitat but habitats for
many other animals.
According to Alexander, this deliberate reduction in the herd
through hunting may have also helped Vermonts moose stave
off the worst effects of winter ticks as they have increasingly
become a problem in recent years.
Winter ticks spread more rapidly when moose are overabundant, said Alexander. Although we decreased Vermonts

Indian
Arrowheads
Q: I spend my summer vacations in New Hampshire, where I have found dozens of
excellent Indian artifacts, including arrowheads and an
occasional tool. Can you recommend a good reference
book so I can find out more about the specimens I have?
-- Jon, Atlanta
A: There are several excellent references, but my favorite
is The Official Overstreet Indian Arrowheads: Identification
and Price Guide, by Robert M. Overstreet and published
by House of Collectibles. Overstreets guide features more
than 8,000 actual-size photographs, up-to-date regional
market reports, tips on grading and advice on how to buy
authentic relics. This is the professional standard reference
for Americas oldest collectible. I found several copies at
www.abe.com.
***
Q: I have a plate that my mom purchased during the early
1950s. It is signed Anna Mary Robertson Moses. What can
you tell me about it?
-- Rhonda, Davenport, Iowa
A: Anna Mary Robertson Moses was known throughout
the world as Grandma Moses, a famous folk artist who
began her art career in earnest when she was 78 years old.
She was born in Greenwich, New York, in 1861, and died
in Hoosick Falls, New York, in 1961. Her artwork can be
found in major museums. Her painting The Sugaring Off
sold for $1.2 million in 2006.
In 1950, a registration mark was secured, and soon the
Atlas China Company was issuing plates that featured
some of the designs of Grandma Moses. They are identified with marks that say either A Grandma Moses
Product or Anna Mary Robertson Moses.
***
Q: I am renovating and restoring a house that was built in
1885 and is considered to be a good example of the
Victorian style. My problem is that I would like to wallpaper the downstairs parlors, a hallway, entryway and master
bedroom, but I cant find appropriate designs. Can you help
me?
-- Brad, Gulfport, Mississippi
A: I have restored not one, but two Victorian homes, and I
learned a valuable lesson that if done properly, it isnt
cheap. For wallpaper, I suggest you contact Bradbury &
Bradbury, P.O. Box 155, Benicia, CA 94510; info@bradbury.com; and 707-746-1900. The reproduction papers by
this company, founded in 1979, are stunning and feature
authentic designs.

RANGER

4 Year Old Neutered Male

Ranger is an outgoing boy who
loves to give headbutts and show
off his deep purr, once he gets to
know you! He was originally a stray
cat, but a family took him in off the
streets, and cared for him for the
last 3 years. He has lived with a
quiet child and other felines in the
past, and did great.

When Is It Time to Say Goodbye?

DEAR PAWS CORNER:
As my dog gets older, Ive
been thinking more about
when the time comes that
well lose her. She doesnt
have serious health issues
now, just a little arthritis,
but I wonder what I would
do if she approached the
end of her life and were
suffering. How do you
know when its time? There is always such love and trust
toward us humans, how do we know when the lack of quality of life outweighs our desire to care for and protect
mans best friend?
Lack of control over bowel seems like a good marker, as
does difficulty standing and lethargy. What guidelines do
you suggest?
-- Amy M., via email
DEAR AMY: There are few clear guidelines for when its
time to make that final trip to the veterinarian and say our
goodbyes to a beloved pet. That is always a discussion
youll want to have with the vet and with the other members of your family.
A number of factors come into play when determining
end-of-life care for your pet. Their general physical condition and behavior; the disease(s) theyre suffering from;
their symptoms (and whether theyre treatable); and more.
Ive heard many anecdotes from pet owners about their
dog or cat or Guinea pigs last days. Each loss is different.
And while there are some signs that a dogs time is
approaching, as you outlined, often a pet has many more
days and even years left.
So, I dont have an easy answer. I do have a wish for your
dog, that she has a happy and illness-free senior life for as
long as possible.

The benefits of hiring professional contractors

he DIY movement has inspired

many homeowners to tackle
home repair and remodeling
projects on their own. DIY
projects can be rewarding, and many
homeowners who have embraced the
DIY movement have discovered talents
they never before knew they had.
But no matter how simple popular home renovation
television shows make remodeling projects appear,
homeowners should know that such undertakings are
far more difficult than they appear on television. Homeowners who overestimate their abilities and the time
they have to complete projects can cost themselves
substantial amounts of money. In fact, there are a variety of reasons homeowners might want to work with
professional contractors when tackling home improvement projects.
Experience
A trial and error approach can work with various
projects and problems. But applying such an approach
to home improvement projects is risky and potentially
dangerous, not to mention costly. Experienced professional contractors with strong track records (seek
recommendations from friends or neighbors) wont
have to go through trial and error and are therefore
more likely than DIYers to complete a project on time
and on budget.

Cost
Conventional wisdom suggests its less expensive

Many homeowners renovate their homes with eyes

if homeowners want to showcase a newly remodeled kitchen when selling their homes, they should be
prepared for prospective buyers to ask who worked

Renovating a home on your own can be a rewarding

professional contractors before making any final decisions with regard to who will tackle their next project.

December Weather

December 2016, was noted for more or less typical start, followed
by a colder stretch during the middle part of the month and followed
by warmer than normal conditions to end the month. Remarkably it
all balanced out at exactly normal. The warmest day not a record but
close at 49 degrees at the 18th, and 27th, the coldest minimum at 8
degrees below nowhere close to a record.
Snowfall accrued was 25.7 as recorded nearby but not at the E.F.
Knapp Airport. This was significantly more snow than in recent
Decembers. Looking at Mount Mansfield data, the snow depth at the
stake jumped to 42 snow depth at the stake. This amount was suddenly fairly decent amount representing the Green Mountain ski
resorts and was pretty good to play with on the slopes. Ski resorts
had also some fairly good snow making conditions during stretches
of arctic air low wet bulb temperatures that induced man-made powder.

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide (CO2)

Mid December measurement for Carbon Dioxide CO2 was

404.48 ppm as measured at the Mauna Loa Observatory. Highestever daily average CO2 at Mauna Loa Observatory 409.44 ppm back
on April 9th, 2016. A stable sustainable climate occurs under 350
ppm with 280 ppm the most desirable early to mid last century.
Fracking may be contributing to larger releases of Methane CH4 gas
which is 26 to 30 times more powerful than CO2 in terms of trapping
heat. Also theres evidence of larger releases of methane CH4 in
Siberia and the Barents-Kara seas in the arctic region north of Russia
which scientists continue to monitor.

marine lifeare experiencing local extinctions due to climate

change. Researchers say its likely to be just the beginning.
As the climate warms, these species, which range from types of
chipmunks to grasses to sea snails, are no longer showing up in the
places they used to call home. The phenomenon isnt isolated to one
particular geographical region or temperature zone, the study found.
Of the 976 species analyzed in the study, which was published
Thursday in the journal PLoS Biology, nearly 50 percent have
already become extinct along the warm edge of their range. Its a
reflection of a known process, by which species are moving pole
ward and to higher altitudes to escape changes to their habitats as
the climate warms. The studys author, John J. Wiens, said local
extinctions are inherent in range shifts.
The species being impacted cant exactly say, Oh, its too hot
here, Im heading north, said Wiens, who is an ecologist and evolutionary biologist at the University of Arizona. The species have
three choices: Adapt to the changing temperature, emigrate or die.
Wiens analyzed other research that assessed range shifts for other
species, looking for patterns. What he found surprised him. The
overall striking pattern is how similar it is, he said, pointing out that
its not just 50 percent of tropical amphibians, or 50 percent of temperate marine species that are going locally extinct. Its about 50
percent all over the world and for all these different groups of organisms.
Since 1880, the worlds climate has warmed 1.7 degrees
Fahrenheit, according to NASA. But that hardly compares to whats
in store. The National Climate Assessment outlines a best-case scenario for global warming that raises temperatures 2.5 degrees
Fahrenheit above the average from 1901-1960 by the end of the
century, and that can only be accomplished with aggressive policies
and regulations. The business-as-usual scenario results in 8 degrees
of warming by the end of the century, and it could go as high as 11
degrees. Though species have adapted throughout history as the climate has shifted, the difference now is the pace of change. Its happening so quickly, species dont have enough time to change along
with their changing habitats. We do a lot of work thats projecting
into the future, said Chad Wilsey, the director of conservation science for the National Audubon Society. But climate change has
been going on certainly in the last 40 years, and we can already
document those impacts.
Though the study found that local extinctions were happening
worldwide and across species, it did find a higher rate of local
extinction among species in tropical and subtropical zones. Wiens
explained this by highlighting a study that contrasted elevations in
Costa Rica and Colorado. In Colorado, its hot in the summer and
cold in the winter. Thus, species are more able to adapt, because they
have evolved to do so. In the tropics, however, temperatures do not
vary much between seasons, so species are less prepared to adapt to
changes. Thats bad news when climate changes rapidly, said
Wiens.
There have been a lot of predictions about extinctions. What I
take away from this is that those are already happening. Theyre
already really widespread all over the world, but the amount of climate change that has happened is actually really small relative to
what were expecting.

Just as December started with a decent amount of snow in the

higher elevations, January has taken this away despite decent
stretches of arctic air in the vicinity. However the rest of January will

January 2017. The difference between equal warm and cold will be
temperatures spending much more time in the warm column, but
frequently followed by modified batches of arctic air.
Expect more mixed precipitation events(combinations of wet
snow, sleet, freezing rain, and rain) to be the rule rather than the
exception. Many of these storms will actually produce more rain than
snow. There will always be a small possibility of that big illusive
snow storm.

The main weather pattern we have been seeing will continue, until
a pattern change takes places toward the start of February , will be
the west coast and Pacific seeing the main action and occasionally
one or two of these bursts of jet stream energy reaching New
England, strong gusty winds can also be included. Climatology For
this usually is taken off the table, but not so much this year.

February --

There is some hope that parts of coming February may include a

string of Noreasters that could deliver considerable amounts of
snow. A this time a pattern change occurring with decent amounts of
colder air invading the east, and the west calms down and warms up.
This sea change in the larger scale weather pattern could put
Vermont in the sights for bigger snowfalls. All speculation at this
point but the conditions needed: 1. Arctic air, 2. A jet stream and
storm track to our south putting New England on the northern side of
the storms, 3. A locking in of the weather pattern with a Greenland
blocking or Negative North Atlantic Ocean pattern.

Snow Blower Safety Tips:

Keep Best Practices in Mind this Winter

ith winter snows arriving,

homeowners, contractors,
and business owners will
again rely on their snow
blowers to clear driveways and walks. The
Outdoor Power Equipment Institute (OPEI)
is offering tips for safe and correct use of
snow blowers.

Your indispensable winter friend, the snow blower is

ready to be powered up and its important to keep safety
in mind, says OPEI President and CEO Kris Kiser. Be
sure to prepare and consider the following tips before
you use your equipment:
PREPARE BEFORE IT SNOWS
Review your owners manual and check your equipment. Check your owners manual for safe handling
procedures from your manufacturer. If you forgot to
drain the fuel last winter before storing your snow
blower, drain the tank now. Adjust any cables. Check the
auger (the snow blower should always be completely
powered off when you are checking the equipment).
Know how to operate the controls. You should be able to
shut off your equipment quickly.
Prepare your fuel and handle it properly. Its important
to have the right fuel on hand for your snow blower
movement and fuel availability may be limited during a
snowstorm. Be sure to use the correct fuel, as recommended by your equipments manufacturer (for more
information on fueling properly see www.
LookBeforeYouPump.com). Fill up the fuel tank outside
before you start the engine and while the engine is cold.
Never add fuel to a running or hot engine.
Be sure to clean the area you intend to clear with your

equipment. Snow can sometimes hide objects that if run

over by a snow blower, may harm the machine or people.
Doormats, hoses, balls, toys, boards, wires, and other
debris should be removed from the areas you intend to
clear.
Dress appropriately. Wear safety glasses and footwear
that can handle slippery surfaces.
OPERATE YOUR EQUIPMENT SAFELY
KEY SAFETY TIP: Never put your hands inside the
auger or chute. Use a clean out tool (or stick) to unclog
snow or debris from your snow blower. Your hands should
never go inside the auger or chute. Make sure the snow
blower is in the off position before addressing any clogs.
Turn OFF your snow blower if you need to clear a clog.
If you need to remove debris or unclog snow, always turn

off your snow blower. Wait for all moving parts to come
to a complete stop before clearing any clogs or debris.
Only use your snow blower in visible conditions.
Never operate the snow blower without good visibility or
light.
Aim your snow blower with care. Never throw snow
toward people or cars. Do not allow anyone to stand in
front of your snow blower. Keep children or pets away
from your snow blower when it is operating.
Use extreme caution on slopes and hills. Use caution
when changing directions on slopes. Do not attempt to
clear steep slopes.
Know where your cord is. If you have an electric powered snow blower, be aware of where the power cord is at
all times. Avoid tripping. Do not run over the power
cord.

NOW HERES A TIP

By JoAnn Derson

* To keep the ends of shoelaces from fraying, just dip the end in a
bottle of clear nail polish. Hold it up until it gets tacky, then shape it
into a cylinder. It looks like the real thing and wears well.
* To make a door draft baffle for hard floors from a pool noodle, simply cut the pool noodle
in half lengthwise and to the width of your door. Use fabric to cover both halves of the pool
noodle with an inch or two in between to spare. Slip the covered noodles under the door so
that one half rests on either side of the door. The door can open and close, but when you close
it, the noodles block drafts from both sides! -- T.M.A. in New Hampshire
* Cant remember where your spare keys are? Or how many loaners you have out there? It
might be time to change the locks on your house. Experts say changing locks, installing a
home security system, and using deadbolts and sliding glass door bars are the top ways to keep
your home secure!

ABOUT FORECLOSURE?
Having trouble paying your
mortgage? The Federal Trade
Commission says dont pay
any fees in advance to people who promise to protect
your home from foreclosure.
Report them to the FTC, the
nations consumer protection
agency. For more information,
call 1-877-FTC-HELP or click

* Invest in a refillable water bottle that includes a water filter. It makes it so much easier to
stay well-hydrated.
* Whenever I am going to have company, I start planning a week or two before by doubling
up on recipes that freeze well. Casseroles and soups, as well as bread (I like to bake bread)
and vegetable dishes work great. I make extras and freeze them to make dinnertime a snap.
That way, I get to spend more
time visiting and less time
cooking. -- F.L. in New

involvement in a Soviet spy
ring.
* On Jan. 16, 1970, star centerfielder Curt Flood of the

Court ruled against him in a
5-3 decision in 1972.
* On Jan. 19, 1983, Klaus
Barbie, the Nazi Gestapo
chief of Lyons, France, during the German occupation,
is arrested in Bolivia for his
crimes against humanity four
decades earlier. Barbie had
sent thousands of French
Jews and French Resistance
members to their deaths in
