You might think you are in Montreal or New
York City when you enter the chic-looking
newly renovated upstairs space that is the new
home for Do or Dye Salon & Spa at 168 River
Street in Montpelier.
It has a very metropolitan, bright fresh look
to it, or as we like to say, the New York feeling
at Vermont prices, explain owners Nealsa
Welch and Lowen Spooner. They moved from
their former 400 s.f. salon on Route 2 to this new
1900 s.f. space above The Sewing Basket and
New England Auto Glass Replacement, in what
was the location for many years of Stingray
Electronics.
Our landlord Steve Ribolini did an awesome
job at completely renovating this previously
unused space, say Nealsa and Lowen. Plus,
relative Scott Matava created the color bar and
pedicure throne.
When you first enter the working space at Do
or Dye, you encounter a large, full-service bar to
select just the right hair color and style. Yes,
customers can pull up a stool and study fashion
books, and order a shot of color made just for
them from tap dispensers by qualified ten-
ders.
This was an idea we always thought about,
but we needed a larger space that we now have,
relate Nealsa and Lowen.
This larger space also accommodates stations
for their six stylist/estheticians, manicures, a
four-chair pedicure throne, and single and two-
person private rooms for facials, waxing and full
body treatments.
Male clients are also welcomed, as are chil-
dren. We have no barriers here.
Probably the best feature of Do or Dye, note
Nealsa and Lowen, is their highly talented and
certified staff.
Lori Matava and Andrea Richardson are cos-
metologists, estheticians and nail technicians;
Krystle Frantz Bador is a cosmetologist and
esthetician; Susanna Paye is an esthetician and
nail technician; Haley Maxham is a cosmetolo-
gist; and Nealsa is a cosmetologist and estheti-
cian.
Do or Dye is open Monday-Thursday 9-7;
Friday 9-5; and Saturday 9-2. For appointments
and more information, call 229-4691, visit www.
DoOrDyeSalon.com, or find them on Facebook.
Nealsa and Lowen invite all interested persons
to come in for a tour of their facility. Gift certifi-
cates are available for the holiday season.

Barre Vigil to Honor
Sandy Hook Victims
Central Vermonters will honor the memory of those who died in
the tragedy at Sandy Hook a year ago by holding a Vigil of
Remembrance on Saturday, December 14. The vigil is being held
on the front steps of First Church in Barre, 19 Church St. It is a
candlelight vigil at 4:30pm.
Barre will join over 20 towns across the state who are also hold-
ing vigils. December 14, 2013 marks the first anniversary of the
murder of 20 six- and seven-year-olds and six educators at Sandy
Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Connecticut.
At the vigil, those in attendance will read the names and ages of
every child and adult who died by gunfire in the massacre on that
day at Sandy Hook. The text of The Sandy Hook Promise will
be read and distributed, and participants will stand in silent
remembrance.
GunSense Vermont and other concerned citizens are organizing
these Vigils of Remembrance across the state. GunSense Vermont
is an organization dedicated to improving gun safety, reducing gun
violence and keeping guns out of the wrong hands.
Originally erected by Daughters of the American Revolution in 1957 but
held in storage for more than a decade, this plaque was recently re-
erected in Barre City Park. The plaque reads: Site of Methodist Meeting
House built in 1800-1801. For some years it was used for town meetings.
It was the first public framed building in Washington County. Erected by
Rebeckah Hastings Chapter D.A.R. 1957

Green Mountain Nutcracker Offers
Christmas Magic with a Vermont Twist
This holiday season, experience real joy and
authentic creativity produced by local artists in
Moving Light Dance Companys annual produc-
tion of The Green Mountain Nutcracker.
Regardless of age, youll love the Vermont inter-
pretation of this classic ballet.
Moving Light Dance is proud to bring The
Green Mountain Nutcracker to the Barre Opera
House for the seventh year running, performing
two live shows on December 21st and 22nd.
What began as director Christine Harris vision
of a close-to-home and dear-to-heart rendition of
a classic ballet is quickly transforming into a
Vermont tradition. Each year the show has
charmed its audiences, young and old alike, and
gathered momentum as its success grows. The
production features a cast of 72 talented dancers
from Vermont communities, handmade cos-
tumes, glorious set pieces, and boasts all-original
choreography by Christine Harris, Willow
Wonder, Avi Waring, Bridget Wheeler, Natalie
Wheeler and the dancers.
On Christmas night, a young girl is transport-
ed into a world of magic and imagination when a
gift of a wooden nutcracker doll, from the magi-
cian Drosselmeier (Kee Gillian), comes to life.
The nutcracker prince (Sean Beatty) leads our
heroine Marie (Katherine Mayo) through a land
of colorful characters and gorgeous dance num-
bers which are sure to make you gasp, laugh, and
applaud. Moving Light weaves together classical
ballet with contemporary dance and a Vermont
backdrop. From a holiday party in a country
home through Vermont forests and into the Land
of the Sweets, where the Maple Sugar Fairy
(Rachel Isaacs-Falbel) conducts a huge cast of
dancerseven including a boisterous group of
loggers!
What better way to let the festive spirit of the
holidays into your heart than through the magic
of dance? The artists of Moving Light are com-
mitted to bringing community-minded dance of
the highest caliber to Vermont, and it is this com-
mitment that enables them to work year after
year on the creation and performance of the
Green Mountain Nutcracker. Harris and co-
directors embody an attitude of hard work and
inclusion that can be seen on stage in the joy of
the dancers as they perform. Let this dance com-
munity remind you of the greatest gift that can be
given during the holidays: love. You will be
swept away from the very beginning.

Montpelier Senior Activity Center
This Saturday, December 14th, is the
Montpelier Craft and Art Weekend!
Montpelier Senior Activity Center (MSAC),
along with two other organizations, is hold-
ing a day long event from 9am to 4pm as
part of the weekend.
The Arts, Crafts and Goodies Fair is a fundraiser for MSAC
and also an opportunity for shoppers to peruse a variety of prod-
ucts in the beautifully renovated Senior Center at 58 Barre Street,
recently re-opened in a new, bright, cheerful, energy-efficient, and
ADA-accessible facility just a short walk from Main Street in
Montpelier. In addition to vendors, we will also have MSAC vol-
unteers selling arts, crafts, and baked goodies that are donated by
our members and friends. Along with the bazaar, we will be selling
delicious lunches from our new kitchen and screening a film
upstairs.
The No Strings Attached Marionette Company, who have
pleased many First Night crowds with their performances in years
past, are presenting Scrooge: A Christmas Carol at MSAC!
Their show occurs at 1pm on Saturday, and is by suggested dona-
tion of between $5 and $15. Come experience this timeless story,
told through the magical artistry of puppets! Eighteen large-scale
marionettes whisk you through the good ol Streets of Charles
Dickens London. If the Ghosts of Christmas Past, Present and
Future can awaken the forgotten love and joy within stingy
Scrooges heart, just think what the story can do to encourage the
everlasting Spirit of Christmas in us all.
Also on display at MSAC is the art show titled Robert Frost in
Images: The art of Annie Tiberio Cameron paired with the poetry
of Robert Frost.
As if MSACs attractions werent enough, dont forget: there
are two other craft fairs in town that day hosted by our partners
The Touch of Vermont and Planting Hopes Solidarity Craft Fair.
At the Touch of Vermont Holiday Gift Market, at Montpelier
City Hall, you can buy holiday gifts from over 40 Vermont ven-
dors. While youre at the market, make sure to buy a raffle ticket.
Every vendor has generously donated an item and there are three
grand prize items worth over $200! The market and all raffle pro-
ceeds directly benefit O.U.R. House of Central Vermont: a
Childrens Advocacy Center and Special Investigations Unit that
is committed to providing a safe and supportive environment to
assist child victims, adult survivors, and non-offending family
members in the discovery, intervention, healing, and prevention of
child sexual abuse in Washington County.
At Planting Hopes Solidarity Craft Fair, more than 40 craft-
ers will be selling their wares at two venues at the Unitarian
Church and right across the street at the Bethany Church. Of
course Planting Hope will be there with one of the best lunches in
town. There will also be a great silent auction at the Unitarian
Church to benefit Planting Hope. Planting Hope serves communi-
ties in Nicaragua and the U.S. by enhancing educational opportu-
nities, supporting grassroots initiatives and fostering cultural
exchanges.
VHC Selects Wonder for Vermont Reads 2014
The Vermont Humanities Council announces its selection of
R.J. Palacios bestselling novel Wonder for its Vermont
Reads 2014 program. Vermont Reads is VHCs state-
wide one-book community reading program that began
in 2003.
Published to widespread acclaim in 2012, Wonder
shows readers the world through the eyes of Auggie
Pullman, a ten-year-old boy born with a craniofacial
deformity. Inspired by a real event, Wonder traces
Auggies journey through his fifth-grade school year and
his trials and successes along the way. The novel delves
into issues such as being different, bullying, belonging,
and kindness.
Wonder is a #1 New York Times bestseller and has
earned several awards, including Best of Childrens Books
2012 in School Library Journal, Publishers Weekly, Kirkus
Review, and Booklist. Slate.com called it The best kids
book of the year. Its broad appeal and compelling themes
made it an ideal choice for Vermont Reads.
Wonder is a meditation on kindness, and its power to transform
the lives of both those who practice it and those whom it touches,
said Mark Fitzsimmons, VHCs Director of Community Programs.
Ms. Palacio is masterful in communicating through eight differ-
ent fictional characters voices the importance of acceptance and
inclusion in the very real worlds of our schools and communi-
ties.
Communities around the state will have the opportunity to bring
people together to read, discuss, and build activities around the
book. Vermont Reads promotes community-building, open dia-
logue, intergenerational exchange, a focus on the
humanities, and literacy.
Vermont Reads activities include book discus-
sions, read-a-thons, staged dramatic readings,
panel discussions, art projects and exhibits, com-
munity potlucks, and writing contests.
Communities can also participate in National No
Name Calling Week, organize to sign the Choose
Kind Pledge, institute an Auggie Pullman Award
for deserving community members, or explore
through journaling and other forms of creative
expression how kindness and inclusion are (and
are not) present in daily community life. And
Vermont Public Radio will air features that
offer excellent opportunities for further discus-
sion (air dates and times will be publicized
when made final).
Renewable NRG Systems of Hinesburg (formerly NRG
Systems) is the underwriter of the 2014 Vermont Reads program;
they have underwritten the program since 2007. The media partner
is Vermont Public Radio.
Each year, approximately 60-100 Vermont townsand thou-
sands of peopletake part in Vermont Reads. Sixty-four commu-
nities took part in 2013.
Deadlines for applying are December 16 and May 16.
Communities will receive up to 75 books, based on the strength of
their application, as well as multiple resource and publicity materi-
als. To apply, visit www.vtreads.org or contact Max Matthews,
mmatthews@vermonthumanities.org or call 802.262.2626 x 304.

Have you ever wondered what happens to the characters in a
book series when the author dies?
Must they and their adventures we want to read cease? Not
always. There are examples where other people have stepped in
and continued a series. The example I will cite today is Robert B.
Parker.
Parkers example starts in 1959 when Raymond Chandler died
while working on a Philip Marlowe novel then tentatively titled
The Poodle Spring Story. In 1988, Robert B. Parker stepped in and
finished the mystery, published as Poodle Spring.
We fast forward 25 years and Parker fans are wondering what
happened to private detective Spenser and police chief Jessie
Stone. Parker had started a Spenser mystery at the time of his
death in 2010. Helen Brann, Parkers literary agent for many
years, completed the just published Spenser mystery, Silent Night.
In 2012, Ace Atkins penned Robert B. Parkers Lullaby, the first
Spenser novel not worked on by Parker. Now, Michael Brandman
has penned a Jessie Stone mystery titled Robert B. Parkers
Damned If You Do. These are all available at Ainsworth PL.
So we have come full circle, from Parker completing a
Raymond Chandler novel to Helen Brann completing a Spenser
novel and Atkins and Brandman writing new Parker mysteries.

The Christmas Tree has been part of our American holiday
tradition for well over 200 years. It has come to represent the spirit
of the season of goodwill and giving, not only for Christians, but
for all homes that share the message of kindness, friendship and a
benevolent spirit. How did this custom of bringing an evergreen
into our home and illuminating and decorating it begin? A little
detective work reveals a very interesting story.
Legend has it that the roots of the Christmas Tree tradition
can be traced back to ancient Egyptians and Romans who treasured
and worshiped evergreens of
every type: palm, fir and cedar,
which they believed to be ever
living, symbolizing lifes
triumph over death.
During their observance of
the winter solstice, the
Egyptians would decorate their
homes with date palm branches
as part of their observances.
Likewise, ancient Romans with
their winter solstice celebration
feast called Saturnalia, honoring
their god of agriculture, would
decorate their homes with
evergreens, candles and
lanterns. The celebration
included gift giving to honor
prosperity; pastries and sweets
representing happiness, and
lights representing their
illuminated journey through
life.
Later the European Druids
cautiously observed the arrival of the mysterious winter solstice.
Far from a celebration, they feared the dangers of the coming
winter; cold, illness, starvation and probable death. In their attempt
to thwart the works of the evil spirits, they would place evergreen
boughs over their entrance ways and place twigs of holly and
mistletoe, symbols of eternal life, throughout their homes to
protect them until the arrival of spring.
In Europe, there is a seventh century legend relating to Saint
Boniface, a monk from southwestern England, who traveled to
France and Germany to spread the Christian gospel. The legend
tells us that St. Boniface, while traveling through the countryside
one day, came upon a group of pagans who had gathered around a
great oak tree preparing to sacrifice a child to their god of thunder,
Thor. In order to prevent the sacrifice, St. Boniface fell the tree
with a single powerful fist blow. Inside the base of the ancient oak,
a tiny balsam fir sprout had been growing. The discovery amazed
the fearful pagans and St. Boniface instructed his audience that the
tiny fir represented the Tree of Life and symbolized the gift of
eternal life through Jesus Christ. St. Boniface used the triangular
shape of the fir to illustrate the Holy Trinity of: God the Father,
God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. The converts began to
revere the balsam fir as Gods Tree.
The first documented use of an evergreen tree as part of the
Christmas celebration comes to us from Germany. In the mid-
sixteenth century (about 1536) a Wittenberg monk named Martin
Luther, founder of the Reformation, was walking with his wife
Katie (Katharine von Bora) through an evergreen forest near their
home on Christmas Eve. It was a crisp, clear, starlit night and as
Martin looked toward the heavens, the twinkling of countless stars
through the forest canopy reminded him of the Lords countless
heavenly angels looking down upon them. Luther was suddenly
moved to cut down a small fir tree, taking it home, he stood it in
his sitting room for his children: Hans, Magdalene, Martin, Paul
and Margaret to enjoy. He placed tiny candles on the branches of
his Tannenbaum attempting to create for the children an image of
the starry heaven from which Christ would come. It is believed
that Martin Luther chose a balsam fir for his Christmas Tree,
because its twigs resemble little crosses at the end of every
branch.
In Germany, during this time, there were Christmas markets in
the major German cities where folks could purchase presents,
special baked goods, candy treats and even the Christmas goose.
As the tradition of the Christmas Tree spread, tinsmiths began
crafting tiny candle holders for the trees, and bakers began making
special wafer cookies in the shape of snow flakes and golden
sugar-twists as decorations many also would use communion
wafers as decorations on their trees. The treats placed on the tree
were symbols of Gods bounty and red and white flowers were
used as decorations the red representing knowledge and the
white purity and innocence.
In 1597, the first blown glass Christmas ornaments were created
in Lauscha, Germany. The Mller family created small round
glass balls that were painted with great detail; soon they were also
produced with a silver coating on the inside, creating a delightful
mirrored sphere. The wonderful ornaments, light in weight, were
ideally suited for the tender branches of the popular balsam firs.
At the beginning of the 17th century, strands of silver in wafer
fine strips were produced to decorate the Christmas Tree. The
tinsel, simulating icicles, was made of real silver and brightly
reflected the light of the candles; however it tarnished quickly,
needing to be replaced each season.
The Christmas Tree tradition was brought to America by the
German immigrants who settled throughout the country. By the
time of the Revolution, the tradition was well established. Families
would decorate their Christmas Tree with handmade decorations
fashioned from wood, paper and feathers. Pennsylvania Germans
are recorded as having large community trees as early as 1747.
Another popular German tradition Scherenschnitte, paper cutting
with scissors, was used to create unique ornaments for the tree.
Legend has it that, the during the Revolutionary War, the
Christmas Tree may have assisted General George Washington in
capturing Trenton, New Jersey on Christmas Eve, 1776. History
records that Hessian mercenaries (paid soldiers fighting for the
British) had become homesick as Christmastime approached.
They had put up a small evergreen and decorated it with candles
to remind them of better times back home in Germany - as
darkness fell they abandoned their guard posts to enjoy their
Christmas Tree while eating, drinking and making merry. As
midnight approached, Washington and his troops attacked and the
merry Hessians, totally unprepared, were easily defeated.
During the 19th century, the British began to adopt the
Christmas Tree tradition in earnest. The British people had at first
been resistive of accepting the custom as they viewed it as yet
another German influence on their culture. Despite Prince Alberts
presence in the Royal Court, the German Christmas Tree gained
popularity in the 1850s and soon the art and style of the Victorian
era had transformed the tree into a thoroughly British custom
immediately adopted by the ever attentive Americans.
The first American Christmas tree seller was Mark Carr, a
Catskill, New York farmer who in 1851, hauled two oxen-drawn
sleds full of evergreens into New York City and was able to sell
his entire supply within a few days. Within a few years the
Christmas Tree became a welcome new winter crop for many
farmers which they would sell themselves in nearby towns or in
more distant cities where higher prices, as much as two or three
dollars, could be charged.
In the 1850s, patriotism was becoming a strong influence in
American culture and it became popular to use the American Flag
and other patriotic symbols as Christmas Tree ornaments. This
practice soon was widespread as the War Between the States (1860
1865) drew great attention to the symbols of the Union and the
Confederacy. The political cartoonist, Thomas Nast, best known
for creating and popularizing
the modern incarnation of
St. Nicholas, frequently
included images of the
decorated Christmas Tree
in his holiday images on the
pages of the Harpers
Weekly, a popular, illustrated
newspaper. One of his
earliest illustrations showed
Santa Claus bringing gifts
and a decorated tree to the
Union troops in the field.
The scene was replete with
numerous patriotic symbols
and featured Santa
demonstrating a puppet
labeled Jeff suspended by
a hangmans noose around
his neck, an obvious playful
threat to Jefferson Davis,
the president of the
Confederacy.
By 1880, all manner of
elaborate Christmas decorations were being imported from
Germany. Especially popular were the delicate blown glass
ornaments that by this time were quite elaborate and crafted in
many shapes and sizes. The ornaments were an immediate success
and readily available from the national retailers like F.W.
Woolworth, and regional department stores like Gimbals in
Philadelphia and Macys in New York City. These retailers were
instrumental in providing Christmas innovations including
patented metal hooks for securely attaching ornaments, the first
electric Christmas lights patented by Edward Johnson (1890) for
the Edison Electric Co., and the first artificial trees which were
constructed with a wire form covered with goose, ostrich, swan
and turkey feathers dyed green to imitate evergreens.
The 1890s saw an enlargement of decorations in the high
Victorian style and by 1900, themed trees became popular. The
themes included everything from single colors or color
combinations, to trees decorated in Oriental, Egyptian or
Dickensian style. The ornaments for these theme trees were
frequently home-made using illustrations found in magazines,
tradecards and postcards further adorned with bits of ribbon,
yarn, fabric and foil.
The first electric Christmas lights had been made in 1882 by
Edward Johnson, an employee - inventor who worked in Thomas
Edisons workshop, for use on his own familys tree. In 1890,
Edison began mass producing strings of electric Christmas Tree
lights however the lights were not an immediate success as they
were perceived to be too dangerous to be used safely by
homeowners. By 1900, many department stores were using
Christmas Tree lights in their window displays to promote sales of
the lights and to demonstrate that the lights were safe to use. The
lights remained unpopular in part because they were expensive
and because many, if not most, homes lacked electricity. In 1917 a
young inventive fellow by the name of Albert Sadacca came up
with a new way to make Christmas lights safer to use. Alberts
family were in the Christmas novelty business making ornaments
and lighted candle sticks Albert was able to adapt the materials
at hand in the factory to create a string of safe-to-use tree lights.
The first year the Sadacca family only sold one hundred sets with
white bulbs, however the second year they decided to try dyeing
the bulbs with different colors and sales dramatically increased. In
time, NOMA Electric Co, the company created by Albert with his
brothers Henri and Leon, would become the worlds largest
producers of Christmas lights.
In the 1930s, concerns over fire safety and convenience led the
Addis Brush Co. to create the first modern artificial trees made
using the same equipment that the company used to make their
toilet cleaning brushes, substituting dyed fibers to create a fairly
natural looking tree. In the 1950s Addis patented and produced
their contemporary Silver Pine made of reflective plastic
filaments designed to create a color-changing tree when illuminated
by their special light with a revolving disc of colored plastic cells
that projected the different colors of light onto the tree.
Throughout the 20th century, manufacturers and merchandisers
created an amazing array of new innovative decorations, ornaments
and lights to adorn the Christmas Tree. Every imaginable feature
from mechanical animation and audio-electronic sound to fiber
optics and light-emitting diodes allowed us to create magical
Christmas Trees for our homes
Both our state and national governments, over the years, have
adopted the tradition of observing the holidays by displaying
Christmas Trees in front of their various state houses and in the
nations capital on the lawn of our Presidents White House.
President Franklin Pierce was the first to have an indoor tree
(1856) which was set-up to delight a group of small children from
a Washington Sunday school visiting the White House. President
Calvin Coolidge had the first National Christmas Tree placed on
the lawn of the White House in 1923.
The Christmas Tree, like Christmas itself, has become as much
a symbol of commercialism and consumerism than an expression
of the Holy Birth in Bethlehem. It is a good idea to reflect back
to simpler times as we prepare for Christmastime and decorating
our Christmas Trees this year.
Our Christmas Trees should be symbols of the Christmas story
living in each of us; a living tree, fresh from the forest, to fill our
homes with the fragrance of balsam, cedar or pine. The best
Christmas Tree is one obtained on a family outing, brought home
and decorated by the family with home-made ornaments made by
family members and saved as treasured remembrances to be used
again and again. Stringing popcorn and cranberries together as the
finishing touch, along with the placing of a star as a crown atop
the tree these are the small things that lifelong memories are
made of.
The Christmas Tree is a symbol of the familys preparation for
the celebration of the Message of the Messiahs Birth. In some
Christian homes, the Christmas Tree is a reminder or the Paradise
Tree in the Garden of Eden. For all Christians the tree should
remind us of that tree by which our sin was overcome, the tree
upon which Christ was crucified He himself bore our sins in his
body on the tree, so that we might die to sin and live to
righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. (1 Peter
2:24)

VT Press Association
Honors Ken Squier
and WDEV
Ken Squier and radio station WDEV AM & FM in Waterbury
have been selected to receive the Matthew Lyon Award for their
lifetime commitment to the First Amendment and the publics
right to know the truth in Vermont.
The Vermont Press Association, which represents the interests
of 11 daily and about four dozen non-daily newspapers circulating
in Vermont, will honor Squier and the radio station at its annual
awards banquet on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2013 at the Capitol Plaza in
Montpelier.
Squier, along with Vice President Eric Michaels, News Director
Lee Kittell and the radio station staff have been on the front lines
in seeking greater public accountability through a range of pro-
grams and community efforts, VPA President Maria Archangelo
said.
WDEV is one of the few remaining fully live radio stations in
Vermont that brings the latest breaking news to listeners as it hap-
pens, Archangelo said.
This particular award means a lot to WDEV and me having
come from our peers on the print side of news coverage, Squier
said when informed about his selection.
There is no question that Eric, Lee and others have done what
we feel was necessary to carry on a tradition that goes back to
when the station went on the air in 1931.
Archangelo said news and public affairs have always been
important to Squier who insists on Live and Local. The station
has been on the air for over 80 years and can be heard throughout
most of Vermont and into portions of New York and New
Hampshire.
Archangelo noted Squier, the president and CEO of the Radio
Vermont Group, also has been a driving force in Central Vermont
for literacy programs to ensure all Vermonters can read. He was a
long-time member of the board of directors for Central Vermont
Adult Basic Education.
Ken has been a firm believer that Vermonters must read, hear
and see if they are to be informed citizens, Archangelo said.
Squier and WDEV help encourage listeners to read local news-
papers in detail through the timely radio feature created and
hosted by Michaels -- called Conversation with the Editors
which features several leading newspaper editors discussing major
stories in their publications.
Squier also is insistent on the highest ethical efforts by his staff
in the presentation of news, including balance and proper attribu-
tion. While many electronic media outlets often read the morning
newspaper on the air without any proper attribution or acknowl-
edgment of the copyrighted material, WDEV is well-known for
stating whether the station generated the story itself or which
Vermont newspaper a story came from.
Several times over the years Ken Squier and other broadcasters
have joined with the Vermont Press Association in fighting for
First Amendment issues. These included seeking cameras and
recordings in Vermont courts, fighting proposed advertising taxes
on local businesses and most recently a proposed legislative effort
to ban hospitals from advertising their services to consumers.
Squier and WDEV have reputations for placing listeners and
viewers in the center of news whether it is airing important
events live or clearing all programming to provide around-the-
clock coverage for natural disasters or major events, like Tropical
Storm Irene.
We want to provide relevant programming, Squier frequently
says.
While many people his age are enjoying retirement, Squier is
having too much fun to slow down. He goes to work every day at
WDEV, which was co-founded by his father, and still provides
irreverent commentary on the world of sports and sometimes
politics -- each noon and late afternoon.
Its a station where Vermonters have a conversation among
themselves. The connection between the station and the listeners
is legendary, Archangelo said.
Squier has been honored with numerous awards, been inducted
into a handful of Halls of Fame and was named the 2007 Citizen
of the Year by the Vermont Chamber of Commerce. The Waterbury
native is a graduate of Boston University and lives in Stowe with
his wife, Elizabeth. He is active in various groups, including as a
past chairman of the Vermont Symphony Orchestra.
The Vermont Press Association established the Lyon award to
honor people who have an unwavering devotion to the five free-
doms within the First Amendment and to the principle that the
publics right to know the truth is essential in a self-governed
democracy.
Previous Matthew Lyon winners include Patrick J. Leahy for
his work as a state prosecutor and U.S. senator; Edward J.
Cashman for his efforts as Chittenden Superior Court clerk, a state
prosecutor and state judge; Robert Hemley, for his many success-
ful fights as a lawyer to keep courtrooms open and court files
available to the public; Gregory Sanford, state archivist, for his
work in maintaining, restoring and saving government records for
public access, and H. Allen Gilbert, executive director of ACLU
in Vermont for fighting for greater public access to government
records and for public disclosure about police misconduct.

Central VT Rotary and World Santa
Bring Joy to Local Children
Editor:
The World Santa and Central Vermont Rotary have a plan to
give generously to children this Christmas. They know that some-
times it is a struggle for low income families to purchase new
winter apparel for their kids. They wanted to add to the joy of The
Salvation Army and Toys for Tots Holiday Assistance program, so
they got together to purchase over 160 brand new winter coats for
boys and girls. Plus, they found a kind-hearted soul who spent all
year knitting hundreds of pairs of winter mittens and hats.
Imagine the joy of the children of Central Vermont opening
their Christmas morning toys and getting a stylish new coat to
keep them warm as they play in the winter snow! Thank you so
much, World Santa and Central Vermont Rotary, for thinking of
others this year. Santa Claus is proud of you, and many parents are
very grateful.

Never Too Old for Santa
Editor:
So many families today are spread apart with more and more
folks alone for the holidays.
Over the past 12 years, the Central Vermont Council on Aging,
with the help of countless community volunteers, has brought
holiday cheer to those homebound seniors and disabled individu-
als who would otherwise have no holiday meal. Last year, volun-
teers delivered almost 200 meals and gift boxes on Christmas day.
Their reward was the look of pure joy on a persons face who feels
alone on a holiday.
This project is funded entirely by community donations. We are
looking for donations of food for the Christmas Day dinner (tur-
key, pies, rolls, gravy, stuffing, etc). Additionally, we will be fill-
ing shoeboxes with small gifts: warm hats and gloves, hand lotion,
note paper, decorative items, home-made goodies and grocery
store gift cards. You may fill a box and wrap it (please mark the
box for a male or female) or donate items for boxes to be filled
later.
We are also looking for volunteers who can share the gift of
time both before and on Christmas Day helping with cooking,
packing gift bags, and making deliveries to seniors on Christmas
Day.
You can make this holiday season more meaningful by giving
of your time and talents to those in need. If you would like more
information on how to help, please call the Central Vermont
Council on Aging at 479-0531. Please mail or bring donations to
our office at 59 North Main St., Barre, VT 05641, on or before
Friday, December 20.

Early Educators Deserve a Seat at the
Table
Editor:
I have been an early educator for over 10 years, and as an early
educator, we become very connected to children and parents, and
are the experts in the needs of low-income, working families.
Providing us a seat at the table when policies are being discussed
will benefit both the state and the families we serve. I ask that our
representatives support our efforts to unionize as well!

Healthcare System Doesnt Make Sense
Editor:
I am writing because I am very concerned about what is happen-
ing with healthcare.
I have had many struggles with healthcare. I am currently unin-
sured even though I work in a health profession. I have two jobs
to make ends meet. I have rheumatoid arthritis and fibromyalgia
which leaves me in unbearable pain sometimes. I could get treat-
ment, but without insurance I just cant afford it. I often wonder,
should I leave one of my jobs so I qualify for more healthcare
subsidy? I dont want to do that. I could have a different job and
get insurance but the co-pays would be too high to afford and Im
not physically able to do that any longer anyway.
My son cant get VHAP even though he is unemployed because
he lives with me and has to use my income. So what will I do?
Kick him out so he can get insurance? This system just doesnt
make any sense.
Under the new Health Connect Im forced to either pay for both
of our insurance coverage or pay the penalty times two. I have no
idea how I would make it work in either situation.
A real universal healthcare system based on human rights prin-
ciples sounds like what we need. I am writing this letter with the
hope that others will stand up and share their stories so the politi-
cians will listen to us the people rather than just big businesses and
insurance corporations.
I also would like to register my support for the right for all
workers to have paid sick days to take care of themselves or a
family member. With the family leave act you can take off unpaid
and use vacation if you have it. If you are in a job that is consid-
ered essential, they dont have to hold your job for you. No one
should be punished and have to worry about losing their job
because they need to stay home with a sick family member like I
did when my mother was ill.

I
have tried very hard to wait for anoth-
er week before I think seriously about
Christmas. In the past I have started to
really get ready and I try to convince oth-
ers to prepare themselves. But not this year.
This year I am holding off until probably,
next week. You know that I love the holiday
season so I have decided that I will enjoy this wonderful season
even more if I dont stress out for an entire month.
Of course, I am already singing carols just about every day, and I
have nished wrapping all my gifts. The wrapping has been easier
this year for two reasons, One, I bought good paper and it has
made the wrapping easier and believe it or not, fun. And I must
admit that number two is because I purchase the presents I want to
give throughout the year. This way I dont have to rush around and
stress out on what to buy. And I no longer ask my loved ones what
they want. I decided several years ago to give the presents that I
want to give and I always put a lot of thought into it. So, right about
now, I am relaxed and willing to spend what time I need singing
and wrapping and doing so at my own pace. Try it, you will be
amazed at how much more you will enjoy the holiday season.
Alright, I have a new complaint that I guess has no ability to
change. Yesterday I went to my local pharmacy and bought myself
a brush and comb set and another package of combs. They were
just what I wanted and were even below what I planned on pay-
ing. This morning when I got up my hair looked like a rats nest
and my rst thought was that I had to use my new brush and comb
because I couldnt go anywhere looking like I did. Now heres the
rub my new brush and comb were encased in a tomb-like pack-
age which for me and my old arthritic hands, was impossible to
open. As I was gnawing at the package, I began to think about all
the other things that nowadays come entombed like that.
I am more than willing to accept excessive packaging for a prod-
uct that is dangerous, poisonous, or not to be touched or used by
anyone under 21, but why is a hair brush and comb that danger-
ous? And I defy anyone to just open this hard plastic packaging.
Without a pair of scissors handy, I would never have been able
to free that brush and comb or the other package of combs that I
bought. I cant imagine what someone does if they dont have a
pair of scissors. Life in the year 2013 is so different for me that I
nd it very strange and almost unacceptable to have to spend quite
a while trying to open a package that absolutely doesnt need to be
protected like that.
When I was young and trying to work my way through college, I
used to go on the road and talk to many organizations that want-
ed a little comic relief that they could afford. And one of the topics
I always included was how do you open a package of Lifesavers.
People thought that it was very funny and I always got a very good
response. Now that I am old, I still think that the Lifesaver roll of
candies is almost impossible to open, unless of course, you use
your teeth. And depending on whether you want to eat only one
and save the rest, you have to be extremely careful when you open
the roll to leave enough packaging material to fold over the rest
of them. Although I dont think I have bought a roll of Lifesavers
recently, I think that they are still packaged the same way.
I dont know why the packaging of various products is so much
in my mind. Maybe it is because Christmas is on the horizon and
several of the things that I have bought are also encased in a plastic
tomb. But the more I think about it, I think that those particular
items are mainly for my young loved ones and I am sure that they
will know how to open their gift without the slightest problem. It
is us old folks who need help to release whatever item is inside.
And I dont know about you, but I have enough things that I need
help with and I just dont want to add anything as dumb as opening
a package.
Now that Christmas is just a couple of weeks away, I would be
remiss not to remind you to take it easy and relax! Okay, I know
that you have tons of things to do to get ready, but you will not be
doing yourself or anyone else a favor or a perfect Christmas if you
are all stressed out. Wrap if you have to, but do it a few items at
a time. Prepare to bake, but dont make it a terrible chore, enjoy
it and when possible include your children or grandchildren. And
if you must shop, do it as if you really were going to enjoy the
experience. Hum with the carols and take the time to enjoy all the
decorations.
If you do all these things, you will nd that instead of worry-
ing about the coming holiday, you will anticipate the joyous and
wonderful day that it is.
T
he Republi-
cans recap-
tured the
governorship in
1976 through Richard Snelling. Snel-
ling had campaigned on a platform of
providing more jobs to Vermonters and
running government more efciently,
which apparently appealed to Vermont-
ers as they returned him to the governor-
ship in 1978, 1980 and 1982. He gained
national attention through his advocacy
of changes in federal-state relations and
as chairman of the National Governors
Association. Richard Snelling became
the second governor in twenty years to
be elected to a third term.
Snellings re-election to his fourth
term earned him a place in political re-
cord books as one of the longest-serv-
ing chief executives in Vermont history.
(At the time, only three governors had
served more than six years: Thomas
Chittenden, 1778-1789 and 1790-1797;
Isaac Tichenor, 1797-1807 and 1808-
1809; and Jonas Galusha, 1809-1813
and 1815-1820.)
During his long tenure, Snelling
strongly supported equality of opportu-
nity for women, and he took the lead in
amending Vermonts Constitution to in-
clude the Equal Rights Amendment. Acquisition of low cost Ca-
nadian power was another major accomplishment of the Snelling
years. At the national level he was the leading proponent of feder-
alism. The high quality of his appointments, aggressive leadership
and progressive vision of the future were other characteristics of
his administrations.
In his Inaugural Address in 1991 beginning his fth term, Gov-
ernor Snelling stressed the need to put Vermonts scal house in
order:
My oath has been sworn, and I
must begin discharging my obli-
gations now by telling you frankly
and clearly that Vermont faces an
immediate and urgent need to limit
its public spending to a rate which
can be supported by reasonable
levels of taxation even in years of
average economic activity.
Our state General Fund bud-
get is being driven by a very
small number of very expensive
programs, all of which are esca-
lating in cost remarkably faster
than either the United States or
the Vermont economy can be ex-
pected to support on a dependable
and sustainable basis. Just seven
programs - Welfare, State Aid to
Education (including retirement
funds and aid to higher educa-
tion), Property Tax Relief, Use
Tax reimbursements, Corrections,
Medicaid and Debt Service are to-
gether responsible for about 490
million dollars.
This is nearly 80% of the ap-
proximately 630 million dollar es-
timated spending for 1991. To those
who wonder where the money is go-
ing, let it be clear that it is not going
to hundreds of hidden items. It is not dust in the corners
of bureaucracy. It is the mountains in the center of the
public policy stage.

Friends Decorate the Vermont State House for Christmas
By H. Brooke Paige
State House Friends pose for a picture with their Christmas Tree creation a job well done!
MONTPELIER (DEC. 3) - Volunteer members
of the Friends of the Vermont State House
gathered this morning for their annual Holiday
Decorating party. Since 1985, Friends
volunteers have gathered early in the Christmas
season to adorn the Victorian Christmas tree in
the State House lobby with a collection of
Vermont and State House- themed ornaments
handmade by the volunteers over the years.
Under the leadership of David Schtz, the
state curator, and organized by Assistant State
Curator Tracy Martin, the event is much more
that just hand-crafting new ornaments and
trimming the Christmas tree. It is a time for
visiting and merriment among the volunteers
after concluding the 2013 summer and fall
tourist season at the State House.
Organized in 1981, the Friends of the State
House is a preservation and educational
organization that supports over 125 volunteers
who lead tours of the State House and operate its
gift shop. The Friends were first organized to
raise awareness of the historic importance of the
State House and to raise funds to restore the
State House to its original 1859 grandeur, a task
that took over twenty-five years to complete
and continues today.
With the lighting of the State House Christmas
Tree in front of the State House on Thursday,
presided over by Governor Peter Shumlin, the
Holiday Season will be officially under way.
Citizens and visitors are cordially invited to visit
the Vermont State House to enjoy the festive
decorations and look around Vermonts Peoples
House while shopping or visiting Montpelier
it is quite a treat. State House hours are 8 4
weekdays (closed weekends this time of the
year)
H. Brooke Paige is a writer of Vermont
history and a tour guide/member of the Friends
of the State House.
To all of you who knew and loved Berti
Garand, we, her family, want to thank you so
much for your condolences and support. The
cards, beautiful notes, owers, phone calls,
Mass cards and your love are so appreciated.
We want to thank the administrators, staff,
residents, volunteers and all of you at Rowan
Court Nursing Home who made Berthas stay
her home away from home. Berti knew that she
was part of a special family during her three
years with you and she very much enjoyed her
role as The Greeter.
Thank you again for your
loving care.

Are you
wondering
which jewelry
to buy?
Gold or Silver?
S o me t i me s y o u
just want to buy that
teacher, sons girlfriend
or neighbor a cute pair
of earrings, and youre wondering - does
she wear gold or silver? Here are a couple
of tips to consider~First, the last time you
saw that person, what color top was she
wearing? Was it a cool color or a warm
color? Cool colors like black or pastels
look great with silver jewelry. If she had
on warm colors like brown, gold or greens
then go with gold. What gets shaky is that
many ladies like to wear black but lean
toward wearing gold jewelry because its
better with their skintone and thats really
where we should start, however I recognize
how hard it is to determine that when you
dont know the person very well, so try the
tip above. And if all else fails, buy two-tone
earrings ~theyre great and everyone can
enjoy them!

On Dec. 19, 1732, Benjamin
Franklin of Philadelphia first
published Poor Richards
Almanack. The book, filled
with proverbs preaching
industry and prudence, was
published continuously for
25 years and became one of
the most popular publica-
tions in colonial America.
On Dec. 17, 1843, Charles
Dickens classic story A
Christmas Carol is pub-
lished. Dickens never lost
momentum as a writer,
churning out major novels
every year or two, often in
serial form. Among his most
important works are David
Copperfield (1850), Great
Expectations (1861) and A
Tale of Two Cities (1859).
On Dec. 18, 1912, after
three years of digging in the
Piltdown gravel pit in Sussex,
England, amateur archaeolo-
gist Charles Dawson
announces the discovery of
two skulls that appear to
belong to a primitive hom-
inid and ancestor of man.
ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Careful, Lamb. Dont let your
generous nature lead to some
serious overspending as you
contemplate your holiday gift-
giving. Your social life kicks
off into high gear by weeks
end.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
A positive attitude helps you
weather annoying but unavoid-
able changes in holiday plans.
Aspects favor new friendships
and reinforcement of existing
relationships.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20)
Demands on your energy level
could be much higher than
usual as you prepare for the
upcoming holidays. Be sure to
pace yourself. Friends and fam-
ily will be happy to help.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22)
Dont allow a suddenly icy
reaction from a friend or family
member to continue without
learning what caused it -- and
what can be done to restore that
once warm and caring relation-
ship.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) A
relationship seems to be unrav-
eling, mostly from a lack of
attention. It might be a good
idea to ease up on whatever
else youre doing so you can
spend more time working to
mend it.
VIRGO (August 23 to
September 22) New facts
emerge that not only help
explain the recent rift with a
trusted colleague, but also
might provide a chance to wipe
the slate clean and make a fresh
start in your friendship.
LIBRA (September 23 to
October 22) A family mem-
bers personal situation is, for-
tunately, resolved in time for
you to get back into your hectic
round of holiday preparations.
An old friend might bring a
new friend into your life.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) Pace yourself in
meeting holiday pressures and
workplace demands to avoid
winding up with a frayed tem-
per and a Scorpian stinger that
lashes out at puzzled kith, kin
and colleagues.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) A financial
matter requires close attention.
Also, news from a trusted
source provides the means to
help sort out a long-standing
state of confusion and put it
into perspective.
CAPRICORN (December 22
to January 19) This is a good
time to reinforce family ties.
Make it a priority to assess and
resolve all outstanding prob-
lems. Start the upcoming holi-
day season with a full measure
of love.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Dont be pres-
sured into a so-called solid-
gold investment. Wait until the
holiday distractions are over.
Then take a harder look at it.
You might find that the gold
is starting to flake off.
PISCES (February 19 to March
20) A former friend might be
trying to heal the breach
between you by using a mutual
friend as an intermediary. Best
advice: Keep an open mind
despite any lingering bad feel-
ings.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have
a way of saying the right thing
at the right time. Your friend-
ships are deep and lasting.

Cheerful Eggnog Pudding
The word Eggnog first was coined because of
the container it was generally served in, being
universally referred to as a Noggin. This was
a small mug with an upright handle and dates
back many centuries. During the early coloni-
zation of New England, invalids and the infirm
were given eggnog on a daily basis because of
the protein value, being a (more or less)
stirred custard.
3 tablespoon(s) cornstarch
1 cup(s) sugar
4 cup(s) milk
3 egg yolks, beaten well
2 tablespoon(s) butter or margarine
2 teaspoon(s) rum extract
3 egg whites
Dried nutmeg, for garnish
Mix the cornstarch and sugar well together in
a medium saucepan. Add the milk and beaten
egg yolks, whisk very well. Place saucepan
over medium heat, stirring almost constantly
when it starts to get hot. When hot and scald-
ing, add the butter, stirring, until melted. When
it has thickened, about 4-5 minutes, remove
from heat. Do not let the mixture boil: set
aside.
In a clean, dry bowl, beat egg whites until stiff
peaks form. Fold in 1/3 of the whites into the
hot milk mixture until dissolved. Fold in
another third, blending(NOT BEATING) until
dissolved and repeat with remainder of beaten
egg whites. Stir in the rum extract, divide into
separate serving containers or transfer to one
large bowl. Cover with film wrap and cool
completely before garnishing with a sprinkle
of nutmeg and serving.
SPEAKING WITH A CLEAR VOICE
Peoples voices become hoarser and weaker as they age because the
vocal cords (the two folds of elastic muscle stretching across the larynx,
or voice box, atop the windpipe) weaken. As far as pitch is concerned,
mens voices become higher while womens voices grow lower. In men,
this change in pitch is largely caused by cartilage in the vocal cords
becoming less elastic. As the cartilage thins and the joints between the
pieces of cartilage in the vocal
cords become more unstable,
the voice becomes quivery
and higher pitched. In women,
estrogen protects the cartilage,
but after menopause, reduced
hormone production can cause
swelling in the vocal cords,
which makes the voice sound
much lower.
P.S. The best way to stave
off the effects that aging has
on the vocal cords is to use
your voice regularly, whether
talking or singing.
Much of the time, hoarseness and vocal
difculties are not simply an age-related
change. Any change that you notice in
your voice should be a warning sign that
something may be wrong. Almost all voice
problems are highly treatable. At ROWAN
COURT HEALTH & REHAB CENTER,
we strive to make the later years of life
some of the very best for our residents.
Our care approach is patient-centered
and involves an integrated program of
therapies that address the total well-being

Chronic Cough
Most coughs resolve themselves in
seven to ten days, but if your cough
lasts longer than three weeks you
should see a doctor. A chronic cough
that is not associated with a cold
may be caused by asthma, smoking,
acid reflux, postnasal drip from
allergies, certain medications includ-
ing ACE inhibitors and beta blockers
or serious illness. You should also
see your doctor if you're coughing
up phlegm that is yellow or green,
your fever is 101 degrees F or high-
er, you wheeze when you breathe,
you cough up blood, you're losing
weight unexpectedly, or have exces-
sive sweating at night.

With the holi-
days approaching,
families have been
shopping for some
information in
regard to buying
safe toys for their
children this year.
Well, fortunately, I
have a direct line to Santa, who is the
expert when it comes to safe toys. He
wanted me to share with you the following
information.
Please read the labels before buying any
toy. This will help you learn how age-
appropriate it is, how to use it, whether
adult supervision is recommended for
assembly or use, and to make sure toxins
or chemicals, like lead, have not been used in making the toy.
Think big when it comes to buying a toy bigger than your
childs mouth, so as to prevent choking. And again, check labels
or the toy itself to make sure there are no small parts that can be
choking hazards.
Avoid toys that shoot small objects into the air, which will help
prevent choking or eye injuries. (They do occur.) And avoid toys
that make loud or shrill noises that can damage hearing. Make sure
batteries in battery-powered toys are secured so small children
cannot get them open and choke on them or swallow them, which
would be a medical emergency.
Make sure the toy is sturdy, including
secure parts, seams and edges. Make sure
a stuffed toy is also flame resistant or
flame retardant and washable. Also, make
sure older children put their toys with
small parts away so smaller children can-
not find them.
Infant toys should not have strings or
wires longer than seven inches, which can
be a hazard for children tripping and fall-
ing or strangling themselves.
So after all that, what kind of toy should
you get? Choose toys that are based on the
developmental level of your child. Your
childs health care provider can make sug-
gestions specific to that developmental
level. All you need to do is ask. If you
have any concerns about a toy, check the
Consumer Product Safety Commission web site www.cpsc.gov to
see if it has a problem or has been recalled.
Hopefully, tips like this will wrap up any concerns you have
when it comes to giving your child the gift of a safe toy for the
holidays.

Wrap Up Your Concerns About Toy Safety
T
heres been a lot of debate about the new
Cardiovascular Disease Prevention Guidelines
targeting cholesterol management and heart disease
risk, which came out recently from the American
College of Cardiology and the American Heart
Association. At the heart of the controversy is the
less-than-perfect risk calculator they use, as well as
their resulting recommendations for taking statins,
such as Lipitor -- or what we call atorvastatin.
The risk calculator (its available at www.heart.
org; search for 2013 prevention guidelines tool) assess your risk
of cardiovascular disease by including factors such as age, race,
gender, blood pressure, total and HDL cholesterol levels and dia-
betes. The way they have weighted those factors has the potential
of doubling the number of Americans taking inflammation-cool-
ing, cholesterol-lowering statins. And most surprising to many
folks, that number includes more than 45 million Americans who
dont currently have cardiovascular disease.
We say, recognizing ALL your risk factors for cardiovascular
disease -- and then talking to your doctor about how to reduce each
of them -- is at the heart of the new guidelines. And while theres
debate about the numbers the new risk calculator generates, they
alert you to a REAL RISK that you have relative to folks who have
either more or less chance of heart woes. (By the way, the RealAge
calculator at realage.com is an accurate way to spot your risks and
learn you what you can do to reduce them, and to make yourself
younger.)
The AHA and ACC also released new guidelines to help folks
manage heart-risky obesity and to adopt heart-healthy lifestyles, to
be used along with the new guidelines on cholesterol management.
In them, they lowered the heart-risky BMI from 30 to 25 with one
co-risk (diabetes is an example). They also suggest using behav-
ioral counseling for at least six months to help people stick with
exercise and diet programs.
If you do use the new AHA/ACC risk calculator, cross-refer-
ence those results with the Reynolds Risk Score (www.reynold-
sriskscore.org). It factors in family history and hs-CRP (C-reactive
protein) level, which measures bodywide inflammation and the
target is 1.0 or less, making it more precise for
women and catching hidden risks in some men, too.
You can get a test for hs-CRP the next time you have
blood drawn for your cholesterol check; its a must-
know heart health number for everyone.
Heres where we disagree with the cholesterol
management guidelines. They dont recommend
tracking changes in your cholesterol levels. We think
you should. Its helpful to know if your efforts with
a healthy lifestyle (and any statin you might take) are
working. So we say: Get your LDLs below 100 and your HDLs
over 50, and keep track of how they go up, down or stay the same
with a periodic blood test.
If it turns out youre at risk, or you just want to stay in the clear,
adopt a heart-healthy diet (none of the Five Food Felons): every
day enjoy veggies, a handful of walnuts, fruits and only 100 per-
cent whole grains. Aim for 10,000 steps a day, do resistance exer-
cises, manage stress, keep immunizations up to date and avoid
secondhand smoke as if it were poison -- it contains arsenic!
And if youre slated for statin therapy, remember these drugs
can slash heart-attack risk by 50 percent even in people with nor-
mal LDL cholesterol levels and higher-than-healthy hs-CRP
scores. If youre worried about side effects, ask your doc about
taking a statin every other day and a daily dose of 200 mg CoQ10.
This important enzyme seems to be depleted by statins, and taking
it seems to restore exercise tolerance and muscle endurance. Also,
ask your doc about taking these daily: 900 mg of omega-3 DHA;
420 mg of the purified omega-7 (containing less than 3 percent
palmitic acid); 1,000 IU vitamin D-3; and 162 mg aspirin with a
half glass of warm water before and after. But remember, these are
not substitutes for eating only healthful food, getting physical
activity and managing stress.

GMUW Encourages
Caution When Donating
This is the season when everyone is inundated with solicitations
for donations. Non-profit organizations all over the country right-
fully exist because of donations from the general public. However,
the methods by which these donations are requested are what
every potential giver must consider.
Many large organizations employ professional fundraisers to
conduct their annual campaigns, leaving time available for the
employees of the non-profit to do what they do best, and that is to
serve their clients and communities. However, these professional
fundraisers charge fees for their work, and most of the time exor-
bitant fees. In 2012 in Massachusetts, only 34 cents of every dollar
collected by them actually went to the charity they represented.
Your local Green Mountain United Way does not and never has
used professional fundraisers. Their audited fundraising expenses
over the past several years have never exceeded 10%. In fact, dur-
ing the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, GMUWs fundraising
expense calculated at 6.4%, proof that much more of donated dol-
lars are used directly for programs and initiatives that benefit your
neighbors and your community, and not being used for the costs of
acquiring contributions.
Please consider these facts when making your decisions about
contributions. GMUW cares about how your donations are used
and wants to make the most positive impact in its region.
Call them at 802-229-9532 or visit www.gmunitedway.org.

Onion River Chorus, directed by Larry
Gordon, presents two performances of its
Christmas program O Morning Star on
Saturday, December 21 at 7:30pm at Barre
Universalist Church, 19 Church Street, and
Sunday, December 22 at 4pm at Montpelier
Unitarian Church, 130 Main Street. Admission,
at the door is $12, $10 for students and seniors,
$25 family rate.
The program presents contrasting works from
four centuries. One portion of the program fea-
tures renaissance works, including motets by
Mouton, Hassler, Aichinger, and Brumel, and
portions of a Christmas mass by Morales. The
other portion of the program features two differ-
ent settings of the O Antiphons, by the French
early baroque composer Antoine Charpentier
and the contemporary Estonian composer Arvo
Prt.
The O Antiphons is a series of seven hymns
on the Christmas theme traditionally sung one
each day in the vespers services in the days lead-
ing up to Christmas Eve. They are known as the
O Antiphons because each hymn begins with
the interjection O: O Wisdom, O Lord, O Root of
Jesse, O Key of David, O Dayspring, O King of
the Nations, O Emmanuel.
Charpentiers settings use the Latin texts.
They are mostly for three voices, with continuo
organ accompaniment, and will be performed by
a smaller semi-chorus. They display Charpentiers
wonderfully lyrical melodic gift and his espe-
cially skillful alternation of duple and triple
rhythms.
Arvo Prt is known for his semi-minimalist
style and his devout and even mystical setting of
sacred texts. His Seven Magnificat Antiphons
use the German translation of the hymns. They
are very stark, yet also very dramatic, with
extreme dynamic contrasts and sometimes
extreme vocal ranges. Using insistently repeated
chords with subtle changes of a few notes he
achieves an extraordinary rapt lyric intensity.
The Flemish composer Jean Mouton (1459-
1522) was known throughout Europe. His joyous
Christmas motet, Queramus cum pastoribus,
with its noel, noel refrains, was frequently
copied, appearing in the Vatican library and else-
where. The Spanish composer Christobal Morales
(ca. 1500-1553) used this motet as a basis for his
complete five-voice mass setting of the same
name. He extracted numerous melodic themes
from the motet and infused them into all the
vocal parts of the mass, subjecting them to
countless ingenious variations.
The remainder of the program features three
motets by south German composer Hans Leo
Hassler (1564-1612), one by his contemporary
Gregor Aichinger and an earlier short piece by
Antoine Brumel. Hasslers works show great
variety. The six-voice motet Verbum caro factum
est (The word was made flesh) is influenced
by the Italian polychoral style of Gabrieli and
features frequent alternation of the three upper
and three lower voices followed by sonorous
responses from the full choir. His other two
motets are much more lyrical, with extended
imitative counterpoint, but both ending with
jubilant alleluias. Aichingers wonderfully buoy-
ant Noe, Noe also features the recurring noe,
noe refrain. Finally, Brumels motet is a perfect
short setting of the single word noel!, here
repeated three times with increasing sonority.

The Annual Holiday Dinner Dance, a fun
holiday event coordinated by the Central Vermont
ARC and Families and Friends United (FUN),
will take place this Saturday, 6:30-9:30pm, at the

tions, and all will enjoy DJ music, including live
accordion songs from the master of ceremony,
Jim Miller.
Miller, a Barre native, is a well known multi-
media musician and producer. He has been help-
ing with monthly events for ARC/FUN for 28

else, says Miller.
Always receiving great support from the com-
munity for these monthly events, Miller notes
that the Holiday Dance will have many donated
Christmas raffle items from the acclaimed

The Central Vermont Medical
Center Auxiliarys annual Love
Light Tree is on display in the
hospital lobby. Each light on the
tree has a very special meaning.
Central Vermonters are invit-
ed to illuminate a light in honor
or memory of a loved one for a
donation of five dollars. A light
will be turned on and a card
displaying their name and yours
will be tied to the light with a
ribbon. Donations will be added
to the monies which the auxil-
iary uses to provide funding for
many projects throughout the
CVMC community and to award
scholarships. This year the aux-
iliary gave scholarships to ten
outstanding local high school
students and adult learners,
allowing them to pursue an edu-
cation in health care.
Love lights can be purchased by visiting the
CVMC website www.cvmc.org. Click on Love
Light Tree on the home page, print and fill out
the form and mail it in with your check payable

lights at the front desk in the main lobby, Monday

Scientists unearthed frozen
30,000-year-old plant tissue
from fossil squirrel burrows in
northeaster Siberia. This would
not be remarkable, except for
what came next: Researchers
thawed the seeds and planted
them. The seeds germinated
and grew, producing viable
seeds of their own, making
Silene stenophylla the oldest
viable multicellular living
organisms.

Dallas Buyers Club
HHH1/2
There are two different categories of drugs:
1. Medicine prescribed by a doctor that you purchase legally
at a pharmacy.
2. Medicine that you learn about from friends or the internet
that you have to purchase from a dealer and could potentially
lead to arrest.
There is no offcial defnition to determine which substances
can be purchased legally for a small copay and which substances
can lead to a long jail sentence. So who gets to decide?
In the United States, its the FDA.
The Food and Drug Administration was established in 1906.
The organization has the stated purpose of making sure that any
legal drug is safe and effective when used as directed. Any
new medication needs to be rigorously tested before being ap-
proved for legal sale in the US.
That sounds like a pretty wholesome mission statement. How-
ever, there are faws in the foundation of the FDA. What happens
when a new disease strikes and people dont have years to wait
for a new experimental drug to be approved? And what happens
when a powerful corporation has a new treatment and is willing
to pay to make sure that it doesnt have any competition?
Both of these questions are posed in Dallas Buyers Club.
And the answers are unsettling.
The year was 1985. Texas party animal Ron Woodroof (Mat-
thew McConaughey) was diagnosed with HIV. He pleaded with
doctors for help. But the only AIDS medicine they had was AZT
and it was still in the trial stage. The hospital effectively told him
to drop dead.
Ron wasnt going down without a fght. He went to Mexico
and began taking an experimental cocktail of virus inhibitors and
white blood cell boosters. When he started feeling better, Ron
smuggled the medicine back home and began selling it to his
fellow HIV patients.
Youd think that the medical establishment would have tried
to learn from Rons success or at least congratulated him for
helping so many sick people. But no. The company that pro-
duced AZT wanted to keep its monopoly. They worked with the
FDA to shut down Rons business and confscate his supply of
alternative medicine.
Its a shameful episode in an American history. The FDA ac-
tively stopped dying people from receiving the treatment they
wanted. That is morally indefensible.
For the record, I am grateful for the pharmaceuticals industry.
The world is a better place thanks to their research and their
medicines. The innovative immune suppressant drugs that I take
for Crohns disease allow me to function and go to work every
day.
However, I am disappointed that another known treatment for
Crohns disease - marijuana - remains illegal. And thats for no
other reason than the fact that neither Merck nor Pfzer has found
a way to mass produce a proftable Cannabis pill.
The way that drugs become medicine in America has become
a slow, bureaucratic, and corrupt process. Dallas Buyers Club
is a powerful message movie that exposes one of the darkest
episodes in the history of the FDA.

Rooster is a rock star of a Plott
Hound with caramel-chocolate brindle
markings. For Rooster to be happy, he needs
lots of room to run and relax outside, bones
and toys to chew, and humans to keep him
company during his lengthy power naps. He
gives gentle kisses on command and knows
sit, lay down, shake and speak. He is good
with kids and house- and crate-trained. He
loves car rides. Every now and again he has
to bark just to let the neighborhood know
whos boss. Come visit this handsome guy in the adoption center.

Remember Pets in Need
This Holiday Season
DEAR PAWS CORNER:
I have two dogs and a
cat, and I love them all
dearly. I also try to make
things a little better for
pets that dont have
homes by helping out
two days a month at the
local shelter. Please let
your readers know that
they can make a huge dif-
ference in dogs and cats
lives even with a small
contribution. If they cant give their time, they can donate
money, food or other pet-care items.
Sign me -- Caring in Kalamazoo
DEAR KALAMAZOO: You told them, and thanks! The holi-
day season offers the most opportunities to donate, no matter
what amount, to a number of causes benefiting pets. So while
youre busy making gift lists and holiday preparations, dont
forget to include pets in need somewhere in those thoughts.
Most local shelters have Web pages online where you can
find out about upcoming fundraising events, see what food or
supplies are needed, or find a contact number or e-mail address
to learn more. Those that dont have a website often have list-
ings or dedicated space in the town or community newspaper.
Major pet-care organizations and pet-supply stores have
fundraising drives throughout the year, while local organiza-
tions sometimes hold supply drives and other events with the
help of local businesses or municipalities.
You also can donate your free time to help out at local ani-
mal shelters. Contact your nearest shelter to see if opportunities
are available, how much time is required and if additional
training is needed for certain volunteer positions.
Send your questions or comments to ask@pawscorner.com.

The latest CO2 measurement ending December 7th with
Carbon Dioxide levels at 396.28 parts per million. One year ago
the reading was 393.59 parts per million for a one year change up
2.69 ppm which is unsustainable for a stable climate. Stable
climate conditions are at or below 350 parts per million
Another Study Corroborates Northern Sea
Ice Loss with Extreme Weather Patterns
A new study for the first time found links between the rapid
loss of snow and sea ice cover in the Arctic and a recent spate of
exceptional extreme heat events in North America, Europe, and
Asia. The study adds to the evidence showing that the free-fall in
summer sea ice extent and even sharper decline in spring snow
cover in the Northern Hemisphere is reverberating throughout the
atmosphere, making extreme events more likely to occur.
The study, published Sunday in the journal Nature Climate
Change, is the first to find correlations between rapid Arctic
warming and extreme summer weather events, since previous
research had focused on the links between Arctic warming and fall
and winter weather patterns.
While the study adds to the body of evidence pointing to the
outsized role the Arctic is playing in shaping weather patterns, it
wont end the debate within the scientific community over
whether and how what is happening in the Far North could be
having such far-reaching impacts.
Since the 1980s, Arctic sea ice extent has dropped at a rate of
about 8 percent per decade during September, which is when the
sea ice cover reaches its annual minimum. A record minimum was
set in 2012. Spring snow cover extent loss during June has
dropped even more precipitously than sea ice cover, the study
found, at a rate of about 18 percent per decade since 1979. The
reasons why the Arctic is warming so quickly a phenomenon
known as Arctic amplification has to do with factors that are
unique to the Arctic environment, involving feedbacks between
sea ice, snow, water vapor and clouds. As the area warms in
response to manmade greenhouse gases, melting ice and snow
allow exposed land and water to absorb more of the Suns heat,
which melts more ice and snow, and so on. A relatively small
amount of initial warming can be greatly magnified in the Far
North.
The new study, along with other previously published research,
showed that the decline in sea ice and snow cover has slowed the
west-to-easterly component of the jet stream, thereby enhancing
the north-to-south waviness of the jet, which leads to the creation
of more stagnant or blocked weather patterns. In addition, the
new study found an association between sea ice and snow cover
decline and a northward shift in the jet stream, which allows more
warm air to move into the U.S. and Europe during the summer.
Paradoxically, other studies, including work by the same team
of researchers, has shown that Arctic warming can actually
enhance cold weather extremes in the U.S. and Europe during the
winter.
Jennifer Francis, a meteorologist at Rutgers University,
co-author of the new study, and the most prominent proponent of
the hypothesis that Arctic warming is leading to more extreme
weather events, This study adds further evidence to the growing
body of research supporting her teams conclusions.
The International Arctic Science Committee is part of
the World Meteorological Organization, Judah Cohen, lead
seasonal weather forecaster at AER, a weather and
climate consulting firm, said the possibility that Arctic climate
change is leading to more extreme weather patterns has initiated a
flurry of new studies. I can tell you that I am busier now
reviewing journal papers than I have ever been in my career and
they are all on sea ice he said in an email. I think this will be a
dominant area of research and discourse for years to come.
For her part, Francis is continuing to keep a wary eye on the
weather map, convinced that the evidence for Arctic-induced
weather extremes will continue to mount. As we continue to emit
ever-increasing amounts of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere
and as the Arctic continues to warm faster than mid-latitudes, we
will see the case for the linkage strengthen, Francis said. I
expect that with every year we will see a clearer response of
weather patterns in all four seasons, and new modeling experiments
will help elucidate the links in the chain, as well.
Weather Trends Ahead
The calendar says were still a month and a half away from the
peak of winter, but the winter weather gripping most of the U.S.
is more typical of mid-January, as a significant outbreak of Arctic
air continues to bring temperatures 10 - 30 degrees below normal
to much of the nation. Late this week portions of Quebec could
register near 40 below not that far as the crow flies!!
In Vermont, expect snow showers and perhaps some snow
squalls Wednesday with the passage of an arctic front. The leading
edge of some modified arctic air will shift through the state with
some enhanced lake Effect plumes coming off Lake Ontario and
Huron. This could be enough in some areas for localized snowfall
amounts up to 3 inches especially near the Green Mountains, with
little more than a dusting in some valley locations. Snow depths
were rather minuscule for the next shot of arctic air that we are
sure to experience late this week. It would be nice to have some
ral snow on the ground instead of the incessant micro-snows that
have been most common. Snow depths of less than 3 inches will
not be much to help insulate the ground. Thus the colder arctic air
will drive frost very deep for many areas by this weekend. This
may cause some issues with older water mains deep underground
not to mention general insulation for just about everything else.
Potential Noreaster Looms Next
Weekend
Will Santa Claus make a deal with the snow gods and allow us
direct hit of all snow this weekend. It was much too soon to say,
but latest modeling has pushed a shifting track closer to the
coastline. Computer modeling has been less than stellar much
passed about 5 days out. But, for what its worth, the arctic air will
exit out this weekend with some moderation, and perhaps shift a
storm track a little further north enough to bring our region some
moderate snow accrual.
Is conventional modeling out of pace with speed and abruptness
of global warming? An ongoing US Department of Energy-
backed research project led by a US Navy scientist predicts that
the Arctic could lose its summer sea ice cover as early as 2016
84 years ahead of conventional model projections. The project,
based out of the US Naval Postgraduate Schools Department of
Oceanography, uses complex modeling techniques that make its
projections more accurate than others.
