Turning a Hobby into a Lifetime of Service
Pictured (l to r) are DEMHS Director Joe Flynn, Army MARS Region One Director Bob Mims, honoree Ray
Machell, and DEMHS Chief of Field Operation Rob Schell.
Local ham radio operator Ray Machell was
recently recognized for his longtime volunteer
service. Machell has used his amateur radio
hobby to support Vermont and the nation for
nearly 60 years.
Machell became a ham while in high school
where he earned his Novice license, his first step
to holding the highest class of FCC license,
Amateur Extra. At this time a new ham could
only use Morse code for the first year. He vividly
remembers the sheer joy as a teenager making a
2am contact with a ham station in faraway
Washington State from his home in Barre, on a
homemade radio transmitter. After high school
he became a radio volunteer with the Civil
Defense in Barre. In 1954 he joined the National
Guard where during his 33-year career, he
worked primarily in communications. While not
on active duty with the Guard, he worked as the
chief engineer at a local radio station.
For many decades Machell has belonged to
several organizations of FCC-licensed amateur
radio operators, often referred to as hams, which
focus on emergency communications. In 1952
the Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service
(RACES) was created to to provide essential
communications and warning links to supple-
ment state and local government operations dur-
ing emergencies. RACES is still active today,
and Machell serves as the organizations project
engineer and digital coordinator.
Machell is also a 47-year member of the Army
Military Affiliate Radio System (MARS), a
Defense Department-sponsored organization of
civilian amateur radio operators trained and
equipped to provide emergency communications
backup for defense support of civil authorities.
Earlier this month at the Vermont Sate
Complex in Waterbury, Machell was awarded a
Letter of Appreciation for his work training the
National Guard on High Frequency (HF), also
known as shortwave, radio operations by Army
MARS. He was also awarded a Certificate of
Appreciation from the Vermont Division of
Emergency Management and Homeland Security
(DEMHS) for his longtime service and dedica-
tion to the State of Vermont.
Army MARS Region One
Director Bob Mims from
Taunton, Mass. presented a
Letter of Appreciation on
behalf of Brigadier General
Pater A. Gallaher of the US
Army Network Enterprise
Technology Command at Fort
Huachuca, Ariz., which over-
sees the MARS program.
Machell was commended for
training efforts with the
National Guard on radio topics
including radio field opera-
tions, antenna systems, and
propagation. He currently
serves as the Army MARS
Northern New England State
Director for Vermont, New Hampshire, and
Maine.
Vermont DEMHS Director Joe Flynn and
Chief of Field Operations Rob Shell presented
Machell with a Certificate of Appreciation for
his exemplary dedication and commitment to the
State of Vermont. Schell manages the state
RACES program. Machell was influential with
the renovations of the new Emergency Operations
Communications Center at the Waterbury State
Complex, installing radio equipment, antennas,
and routing endless lengths of coax cable. The
technology has come a long way since the
1-kilowatt radio transceiver the size of a desk,
used by the state in the early 1950s. Through
Machells efforts, dozens of MARS auxiliary
agency licenses were created for several state
agencies further expanding communication capa-
bilities in times of crisis.
MARS was originally called the Army
Amateur Radio System but was renamed MARS
in 1948 and now includes the Air Force and
Navy/Marine Corps as well as the Army. It was
implemented in 1925 and played a major role
providing communications to outside areas when
floods spread havoc across Vermont in early
November, 1927. MARS has been long known
for providing phone patches and MARSgrams
during Korea, Vietnam, and through the Gulf
War. MARS stations made it possible for service
men and women overseas to stay in touch with
their families back home. With the increased use
of cell phones and the internet, the main focus of
MARS today is emergency and contingency
communications during disasters.
Amateur radio has kept up with changes in
technology. Since the 1980s radios have been
equipped with digital signal processing which
allows communications with a desktop comput-
er. Digital modes allow an operator to send text,
images, and even e-mail over the radio.
Using his love of radio for public service has
always seemed natural to Machell. Radio is a
magical device, he says. He and his wife Betty,
also a ham and MARS member, live in South
Barre.

Tessier Seeking Barre Town
Selectboard Seat
Rolland Tessier has announced his write-
in campaign for the recently vacated Barre
Town Selectboard seat.
Following the recent resignation of
Selectboard member Jeff Newton, the vot-
ers of Barre Town will be asked to elect a
candidate to serve the remaining year of the
3-year term. Since the resignation was
received after the petition deadline had
passed, the election will be by write-in
vote.
Tessier has served on the Barre Town Municipal Budget
Committee for three years. He has been an active participant in
developing municipal and highway budgets that have received
broad voter support. A staunch advocate for fiscal restraint, Tessier
will work to find cost-effective solutions for the challenges facing
Barre Town. He supports collaborative efforts that result in greater
efficiencies while serving the best interests of the community.
Ive lived in Barre Town for most of my life and my family and
I have enjoyed the benefits of living here. I value what this com-
munity has to offer. As a member of the Selectboard, Ill work to
keep Barre Town a business-friendly, safe and affordable com-
munity, stated Tessier.
Tessier has been employed in the retail food industry in Central
Vermont for over 36 years. He and his wife, Kathy, reside on
Richardson Road in Barre Town.

Calling out to former Spaulding High
School athletes and coaches, starting
with the Class of 1965 to the present!
Spaulding High School, the home of
the Crimson Tide, is turning 50 in 2015,
and in honor of this, Our Echo and the
staff would like to create a permanent
mural that will be on display outside of
the Athletic Directors Office. This per-
manent mural is meant to honor and
celebrate various moments of ones ath-
letic experience during the time he/she
played, coached or both for the Crimson
Tide.
The project will begin with the Class of 1965 - because they were the
first class to graduate from the new building - and work up towards the
present. This permanent mural will be a combination of excerpts or quotes
from people (their experiences), candid shots with a quick tidbit (breaking
a record or winning a playoff), or photos of mementos (medals/plaques)
that can be included on the wall.
Please join in this project to honor the past by doing one of the follow-
ing:
Written Response
What are the essential characteristics of a Tide player or coach?
or
Describe a moment in your performance that had a significant impact on
Spaulding High School sports.
Visual Response
Submit a photo that you would like to include in the mural. Create a brief
caption (under 15 words) that identifies who is in the photo and the story
behind it.
or
Share a unique memento or artifact
that can be photographed (examples:
sports buttons, bumper stickers,
medallions, plaques, varsity S jack-
ets, uniforms, etc.).
The deadline for submissions is
June 2, 2014.
When submitting information,
please make sure to include your first
name and last name (maiden name)
and year of graduation. Your written
response or visual response (jpg for-
mat) can be directly sent to one of the following in electronic format:
Mr. Mike Gilbert, Class of 1966 at mgilbertvt@hotmail.com
Mrs. Joan Lund Shedd, Class of 1973 at JShedshs@u61.net

Legislators to Host
Conversation with U-32 and
Montpelier School Districts
Representatives and senators from the
Montpelier and U-32 school districts will host a
conversation this Wednesday, April 23rd with
community members about increasing educa-
tional opportunities for students. The meeting
will be held in Room 11 at the State House, from
6pm to 8pm.
During the 2013-14 biennium, the Legislature
has worked to improve educational opportunities
by:
- increasing the number of eligible students
from low-income families who can now afford
school lunch
- providing high school students with more
flexible pathways to graduation, including access
to college courses
- requiring personal learning plans for all of
secondary school students
- passing landmark legislation that creates
universal access to publicly-funded preschool
for any 3- or 4-year-old who enrolls in a high-
quality program.
Legislators now need to discuss how the
Montpelier and U-32 school districts can remove
barriers and further increase educational oppor-
tunities in the face of rising costs, increased

I SAW IT IN
Chambers Secret Edge Retires
Some businesses have a special person no
one knows about. They do things that make the
company better, but the customer doesnt see
them work or interact with them. Most dont
even know he or she is part of the team.
The Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce
has served its members and the community for more than 40
years, and for more than one-third of that time, a Retired
Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) volunteer, Bonnie Greene
from Montpelier, has been that special individual working in
the background two mornings every week.
Since 1997, with no fanfare and no paycheck, Bonnie has
done things to make the Chamber better. She has compiled
data, proof-read articles, letters, and newsletters. She has rec-
onciled bank statements, logged incoming checks, and mailed
vendor payments.
She has caught more errors than anyone could count. Most
were made by Chamber staff, but some showed up in state
agency reports and other incoming documents.
For years, state data was available in print, but not digitally.
Tables of data sets had to be re-entered in a spreadsheet in
order to produce tables and charts for the Chambers
Community Profile. Bonnie did the bulk of the data entry.
Occasionally, the columns didnt sum to the totals shown, not
due to rounding, but due to an erroneous entry or typo. She
found them, tracked down the correct data, and made things
better.
Of course, Chamber staff produced the overwhelming
majority of mistakes, and catching those make the staff better
or at least, made the staff look better.
Bonnie retired this month. Without fanfare. If her health
wouldnt let her come to work at the appointed hour on every
appointed day, she would just have to step away altogether.
Anything short of perfect simply would not be good enough.
Members and the community have lost an edge theyve
enjoyed unknowingly for years.
Chamber staff will aspire to maintain her standards, but
without a doubt, her smile, assistance and commitment to
excellence will be sorely missed.

Aldrich Friends Celebrate
National Library Week
On Monday, April 14, representatives from the Aldrich Public
Library in Barre were at Barre City Place to welcome folks arriv-
ing for work and to pass out literature about the library. It was the
beginning of National Library Week, an appropriate time to
inform newcomers to Barre about the services and programs avail-
able at our local library.
In attendance were Aldrich Library Director Karen Lane and
staff member Nancy Buttura. as well as Marianne Kotch and
Christine Litchfield, members of the Friends of the Library. Kotch
(left) and Litchfield (right) are seen here welcoming state employ-
ees to Barre City Place. They also handed out buttons saying I
Love My Library.
Montpelier Senior Activity Center
Thank you to all the people and businesses
that helped make the April 12th Firebox
Dinner event a success (netting over $1000 in
donations despite changing to a free, rather
than ticketed event when ticket sales were
proving too low). Retired Assistant Chief
Bob Snetsinger gave a detailed account of the
history of MFD complete with rare slides,
and children delighted to try on firefighting gear and learn about
the alarms! Event support was provided by MFD Chief Bob
Gowans, Glen Marold, Paul Carnahan (VT Historical Society),
Russell and Dan Clar (postcard sales), and Good Taste Catering.
Food donations were provided by: Applecheek Farm, Gaylord
Farm, Greenfield Farm, Tangletown Farm, Black River Produce,
Shaws Berlin and Price Chopper. Special thanks to volunteers:
Lori Miller (head chili chef!), Mariah Lane, Sylvia Kingsbury, Sue
Stukey, Barb Smith, Rebecca Shepard, and Brenda Snetsinger.
Remember, you can bid in the silent auction on Firebox
Numbers 51 and 751 through Monday, May 19th, so spread the
word! (Attend the Rummage Sale on May 17th to place a late bid!)
Posters and postcards of firebox images are also for sale in the
office to benefit MSAC.
Were in the midst of PoemCity Month in Montpelier, and there
are two upcoming events happening at MSAC as part of the cele-
bration. On Monday, April 28th, a StoryWalk exhibit goes on
display (through May 16th). StoryWalk has taken a new turn by
matching the poetry of Mary Oliver & Wendell Berry with the
work of local artists & photographers. Two poems by Mary Oliver,
I Want to Write Something So Simply and With Thanks to the Field
Sparrow, Whose Voice Is So Delicate and Humble, and The Peace
of Wild Things by Wendell Berry are used with permission.
StoryWalk was created by Anne Ferguson of Montpelier, devel-
oped in collaboration with the Vermont Bicycle & Pedestrian
Coalition & the Kellogg-Hubbard Library. PoemCity is a collabo-
ration between the Kellogg-Hubbard library & Montpelier Alive.
Then, on Tuesday, April 29th, sixth grade MSMS poets will be
reading poetry in conjunction with Sherry Olsons poetry class
from Main Street Middle School on April 29th at 1pm. The theme
of the poems will be Adolescence. This event is open to the pub-
lic and sponsored by The Quirky Pet on State Street.
We also wanted to let folks know about a new weekly discus-
sion group starting at MSAC on Tuesday, May 6th. Drop in to this
informal group to share experiences, thoughts and fears about
aging, including expected and unexpected disabilities, relationship
to friends, old and new, community, relationships with children,
grandchildren, etc. This group will be a forum for sharing, for sup-
portive and meaningful dialogue, rather than teaching. Led by
Andy Potok, a painter earlier in his life, who, because of blindness,
began to write. He has published four books, two of them about
disability. All seniors welcome!
News from Ainsworth Public Library
Things are changing at your library. The DVD movies that used
to be on the landing to the second floor are now on the other side
of the room where the mystery paperbacks used to be. The myster-
ies are on the shelves where the audio books on CD used to be.
The audio CDs are in the corner where the romance paperback
novels used to be. Last but not least, the romance novels are on the
landing where the DVDs were. No problem if you cant remember
where we put things. We are always here to help you find what
you need.
We made these changes because someone is stealing the DVD
display cases you need to help pick out your movies. Over 28 have
been stolen in the last 6 to 8 months. We have a suspect and hope
the high visibility location will help us put an end to the thefts.
Just a reminder, the next Toddler Storytimes will be late this
spring, May 7th through June 18th at 10:30 in the library. Bill
Palin will read to the kids and have live critters each week. No
registration required. Call the library at 433-5887 for informa-
tion.
Have you updated your contact list? Remember, the library has
new email addresses. To contact Robert Youngberg, the director,
send emails to library@williamstownvt.org and to contact Roberta
send emails to ainsworth@williamstownvt.org. A big thank you to
the Town of Williamstown for providing these email accounts for
the library.
The next Board of Trustees meeting is Tuesday, May 20th at
6pm in the library. All are welcome.
See the library blog, www.ainsworthpubliclibrary.wordpress.
com or call the library at 433-5587 for details on any of these and
the many other activities offered at the Library.
Remember, the library is located at the intersection of Routes 14
& 64 in Williamstown.
Year-round library hours are: Monday, Tuesday, Thursday
& Friday: 2pm to 6pm (most Tuesdays to 7pm, call to check);

Montpelier Alive Seeks Second Round of Parklet Proposals
Dialing for More Art
On Tuesday, April 29, a group of volunteers working on behalf
of Studio Place Arts (SPA) will be kicking off the 2014 ART =
LIFE Membership Drive. Armed with a challenge grant from
National Life Group and the use of its phone bank that evening,
the group will be dialing for members. (Of course, community
members are urged to join before the kick-off for the year-long
drive.)
These friendly calls will encourage people to join the nonprofit
art center and at the same time invite them to attend the upcoming
B.A.S.H. (Big Arty SPA Happening) on May 9 (7-9pm) that raises
funds for SPA art programs.
SPA annual membership is $35 for individuals ($20 for students
and seniors) and $50 for couples. New staff members who have
recently moved into the adjacent Barre City Place building have
been invited to join SPA at a special, first-year rate of $20, through
May 31.
Annual dues provide the essential energy for everything that
happens at SPA, including mounting original exhibits on all three
floors of the building throughout the year, teaching a broad spec-
trum of visual arts and crafts for all ages and abilities, and creating
opportunities for people to interact with working artists.
We provide so many valuable activities to the public that are
free of charge an impressive year-round schedule of contempo-
rary art exhibits, workshops for children, access to working artists,
and much more, noted Executive Director Sue Higby. At the
same time, we do not receive municipal, state or federal funding.

Montpelier Alive is seeking proposals for the installation of
parklets, platforms on parking spaces that become an extension of
the sidewalk, this summer and next. A number of great proposals
were submitted and accepted for the summer of 2013 but installa-
tion was hindered by the approval process with the Vermont
Department of Liquor Control and so they were never construct-
ed.
Montpelier Alive has a total of four parking spaces available for
parklet proposals this spring. These parklets may be designated for
use by a neighboring business or may be open to the public, but
ideally should not involve the consumption of alcohol. Parklets
that are for commercial uses may take longer to permit than park-
lets for general public use.
Design standards for parklets are on Montpelier Alives website
at www.montpelieralive.org. The organization is requesting that
new proposals be submitted to their office in City Hall by April 28.
In addition, a public presentation of proposals will take place in
City Hall on Thursday, April 24, at 7pm in City Council chambers
so that the public can learn more about parklets and the applicants
can get feedback about their designs before they are formally sub-
mitted.
Montpelier City Council has approved a total of six parking
spaces in downtown along Main and State streets to be dedicated
for parklets as a two-year pilot project in the interest of promoting
a vibrant community by making the downtown experience more
enjoyable for everyone, with the expectation that parklets will
benefit all the downtown businesses with improved foot traffic and
interest from out-of-town visitors.
For additional questions about the pilot project please contact
Phayvanh Luekhamhan, executive director of Montpelier Alive at
223-9406 or director@montpelieralive.org.

that can be used on your home can also
apply to your investments and your overall
financial strategy.
Here are a few ideas to consider:
Get rid of clutter. As you do your spring cleaning, you may
well find some clutter a bunch of items you no longer need. As
an investor, you might look at your portfolio and also find clut-
ter in the form of investments that are no longer appropriate for
your objectives. For example, perhaps some of them are virtual
duplicates of other investments you own, thereby diminishing
your potential for diversification. Or maybe some investments are
now too risky for your needs. In any case, you may be better off
rebalancing your portfolio.
Get organized. As you clean your home, you might find ways
to organize your belongings and furniture more efficiently. And
you may also be able to organize your investments more effec-
tively. One possibility: Consider consolidating your investment
accounts with one provider. If you have an IRA here, another one
there and some other investments scattered about, you may be
paying more in fees and commissions than is necessary. By con-
solidating these investments, you might save money and paper-
work and more importantly, you may find it easier, with all
your investments under one roof, to follow a single, unified
investment strategy.
Seal cracks. Over time, the grout between your kitchen or
bathroom tiles can crack, so youll need to re-grout to protect your
flooring. And you may find that, in looking at your overall finan-
cial strategy, your protection component primarily in the
form of insurance might have developed some cracks or
chips. Specifically, has your life insurance kept up with changes
in your family situation? Events such as marriage, remarriage or
the arrival of a new child can all trigger the need to review your
life insurance. And youll also want to make sure you have ade-
quate disability insurance. Consult with a financial professional
for information on appropriate protection vehicles.
Do some dusting. As part of your spring cleaning, you may
need to dust furniture, shelves and other surfaces in your home.
And if youve been investing for a long time, you may need to
metaphorically dust off your financial strategy to freshen it up
to reflect changes in your life. To cite one possibility, as you get
close to retirement, you may need to shift some but certainly
not all of your growth-oriented investments into income-pro-
ducing ones. But you may also need to review and revise your
financial strategy at other points in your life, such as when you
begin saving for your childrens college education.
Just as spring cleaning can bring more light into your home,
sprucing up your investment picture can help you brighten your
financial outlook. And these improvements can help you in all the
seasons of your life.

W
ith the first phase of Peter
Shumlins death march
toward single payer healthcare
now behind us, it is time to take
stock of what has been achieved,
what is ahead and the costs of the
achievement.
First of all it is beyond dispute
that not one person has been or will
ever be treated by Vermont Health
Connect (VHC) or Green Mountain
Care (GMC), these are merely
vehicles to achieve the political
objective of seizing command of
the medical resources currently
under the control of independent
organizations. This goal is achieved
by removing insurers and employers
from the healthcare financing
equation and inserting the Green
Mountain Care Boards (GMCB)
actuaries and disbursement clerks
between the patient and their
physician, as if these functionaries are better prepared to choose
the best treatment rather than a medical professional with eight or
more years of school, training and years of experience, who has
actually examined the patient.
The real war is not over providing the highest and best
healthcare outcomes for all the citizens of Vermont that is alluded
to by the universal care label. True universal care is a fantasy
that is impossible to accomplish without unlimited resources and
the single payer label only identifies a system devoid of
competition, which is exactly what Shumlin and his social
architects desire to achieve. GMC is based upon the federal
legislation of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act
(PPACA) passed in 2010, in this discussion it is assumed that
Shumlin and his assistants are well aware of the numerous
provisions of the PPACA and their implications for patients and
the medical profession.
For years, government has interfered with the medical
marketplace, restricting competition between medical institutions
and professionals as well prohibiting interstate competition in the
healthcare insurance industry. Government has also placed
significant financial burdens on healthcare providers through
numerous regulations and mandating them to provide patient care
without reimbursement under EMTALA. Finally the failure to
implement tort reforms to reign in the out-of-control medical
liability industry facilitated by a compliant judicial system which
has added nearly twenty-five percent to overall healthcare costs.
The threat of medical liability has pitted hospitals, nurses,
surgeons, doctors, pharmaceutical manufacturers and durable
medical product providers against one another, in a bizarre
adversarial relationship each positioning themselves to be held
blameless when inevitable errors and omissions occur. One
common example is physician brownout where hospitals use
peer review panels to shift liability to the physicians and away
from nurses, assistants or systemic errors where the hospital
would generally be found responsible for its agents actions.
Politicians are keen on deflecting blame from themselves to the
healthcare insurance providers making them the straw man for
uncontrollable healthcare costs. Insurance companies provide all
manner of coverage: life, home, auto, business, workmans
compensation and personal liability coverage to name only a few
yet there is no criticism of these protections. All insurance is a
pooling of risks with the insurer administering the premiums and
claim disbursements with a reserve to cover administrative costs.
There is no difference between health insurance and auto insurance
the level of coverage provided and exclusions from coverage are
part of the contractual language of the policy, you get what you
have paid for. It is the politicians that have singled out healthcare
insurers for vilification as a devious distraction to deflect attention
from their costly interference in healthcare.
Beyond the vilification of insurers and the burdens of frivolous
litigation, government has imposed an alphabet soup of
requirements and regulations upon medical providers these
procedures and protocols have failed to meaningfully improve
patient care or outcomes, but have increased the financial and
administrative encumbrances on providers.
Here are just a few of the governmental requirements that do
little to improve care, however considerably burden medical
providers:
Electronic Medical Records (EMR): Several years ago the
medical profession was compelled to implement a comprehensive
system of record-keeping under the pretext of cost savings. After
five years, the system has proven of little benefit in patient care
and providers have found it necessary to maintain extensive
physical documentation (paperwork) to efficiently review and
evaluate patient diagnosis and outcomes. Physicians invested
between $50,000 and $100,000 to implement their EMR systems
and continue to experience ongoing costs for computer maintenance
and routine upgrades without experiencing financial benefit.
Emergency Treatment and Labor Act (EMTALA): Enacted to
ensure public access to emergency services regardless of ability to
pay. The act imposes specific obligations on Medicare-participating
hospitals that offer emergency services to provide a medical
screening examination (MSE) when a request is made for
examination or treatment for an emergency medical condition
(EMC), including active labor and provide stabilizing treatment
for patients with EMCs - regardless of the individuals ability to
pay. Hospitals that accept Medicare patients are compelled to
provide this universal care 8% of intake through the emergency
room is governed by this regulation, the cost of which must be
covered by fee-paying patients.
Health Care Quality Improvement Act (HCQIA): The act was
passed to protect the public from incompetent physicians by
allowing physicians on peer review committees to communicate
in an open and honest environment and thus weed out incompetent
physicians, without the specter of a retaliatory lawsuit by the
reviewed physician. However, over time, the provisions have been
transformed into a vehicle that promotes an environment that
protects those physicians on a peer review committee who choose
to distort the review process for their own gain, by maliciously
disciplining physicians that may be in political or economic
competition.
Healthcare Integrity and Protection Data Bank (HIPDB) This
information base, established under the Health Insurance
Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), is managed by the
U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS), acting
through the Office of the Inspector General (OIG) and the United
States Attorney General (USAG). HIPDB was created to combat
fraud and abuse in health insurance and health care delivery. The
database contains information regarding civil judgments, criminal
convictions, or actions by federal or state licensing agencies
Shumlins War on Doctors (and their Patients)
by H. Brooke Paige
2nd Annual Free Adult
Dental Care Day
Scheduled
On May 2nd, the 2nd Annual Free Dental Care Day will be held
in Randolph at the Bethany Church. Last years event was such a
success that the committee overwhelmingly decided to host it
again.
Green Mountain United Way (GMUW) is proud to be helping
Randolphs Dental Care Committee by doing the marketing for
this important service and by taking calls from prospective dental
clients and making their reservations. Providing this service for its
people is an important part of GMUWs health initiative.
Five local dentists have agreed to provide their services free of
charge and will each have time to see ten patients. This program is
designed for those over the age of 21 from the Randolph area
without the ability to pay for much needed dental work. However,
in order to be eligible, you cannot have any sort of dental insur-
ance or be covered by a government program such as Medicaid.
The sponsors of this years event are Gifford Medical Center,
Green Mountain United Way, the United Church of Christ and the
Vermont State Dental Society.
For more information, or to make a reservation, call GMUW at
802-229-9532. Its first come, first served, so be sure to call
soon.
against a health care provider, supplier, or practitioner related to
the delivery of a health care item or service. In 2013, the National
Practitioner Data Base (NPDB) and the information services of the
National Association of Boards of Pharmacy (NABP) were
consolidated into HIPDB eliminating overlaps among the systems.
Formerly the NPDB had been confidential to the healthcare
industry however the consolidation made the information more
widely available.
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA):
Title I protects health insurance coverage for workers and their
families when they change or lose their jobs. Titles II, the
Administrative Simplification (AS) provisions, require the
establishment of national standards for electronic health care
transactions and national identifiers for providers, health insurance
plans, and employers. The act provides the right to privacy to
individuals under 18, but at or above 12. The provider must have
a signed disclosure from the affected before giving out any
information on provided health care to anyone, including parents.
This portion of the act has caused significant problems during
emergencies and impeded in identifying lost and injured patients
who are unable to self-identify.
Healthcare Common Procedure Code System (HCPCS),
originally called the Common Procedure Coding System (HCFA),
is managed by the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid (CMS).
The system provides a standardized coding system for describing
the specific items and services used in the delivery of health care
reimbursement for Medicare, Medicaid, and other health insurance
programs to ensure that insurance claims are processed in an
orderly and consistent manner. Initially, use of the codes was
voluntary but with the implementation of HIPAA the use of
HCPCS for transactions involving health care information became
mandatory.
International Classification of Diseases (ICD) established by
the World Health Organization (WHO) was designed to promote
international comparability in the collection, processing,
classification, and presentation of mortality statistics and provides
a format for reporting causes of death on death certificates. The
coding supposedly improves the usefulness of mortality statistics
by giving preference to certain categories, consolidating conditions,
and systematically selecting a single cause of death from a
reported sequence of conditions.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and
DHSS have mandated that the ICD will replace the HCPCS codes
to identify illnesses and injuries for administrative and billing
purposes. Currently ICD-9, a system of 13,000 identifiers, is used
throughout the U.S. medical field. Unless rescinded ICD-10CM/
PCs, a wholly new and different system of 70,000 identifiers, will
replace ICD-9. Most in the medical community believe that the
new system will dramatically slow doctors work due to the
unnecessary complexity and volume of different codes and
subsets that must be learned and retained.
Saving the worst for last!
Medicare Payment Advisory Commission (MPAC) This
congressional committee is responsible for setting reimbursement
rates for Medicare and Medicaid patient treatment. It is also used
as a baseline by the healthcare insurance industry and others to
calculate their allowable reimbursements. GMC has adopted a
reimbursement schedule pegged at 105% of the Medicare rate set
by MPAC. On March 21, 2014; MPAC proposed $500 billion in
Medicare cuts to be accomplished through rate reductions of 25%
for general practitioners and 50% for specialists implemented in
steps over the next five years. The current Medicare rates barely
cover providers out of pocket (variable) cost and fail to contribute
to overhead and investment (fixed) costs the revised rates are
untenable and will result in the blanket refusal of Medicare,
Medicaid and GMC patients here in Vermont.
Conclusion
If Governor Shumlin sought to reduce healthcare costs and
improve the delivery of services, there were many areas that cried
out for change from tort reform and eliminating ineffective
regulation to increasing competition in both healthcare delivery
and insurance. It would have been far better to allow the private
marketplace to continue to provide healthcare (with the state
making accommodations for those unable to afford coverage)
instead of disrupting and destroying the quality system currently
in place on the remote chance that single payer might prove an
acceptable alternative.
Shumlins Green Mountain Care is an ill-conceived and poorly
designed program executed by folks with little knowledge or
experience with healthcare delivery or insurance. Their failure is
by design as their objective is not to provide an improved system
to pay for care, rather their objective has always been to take
control of the healthcare delivery system, substituting socialized
single payer with its necessary consolidated-authority and
rationed care.
The implementation of GMC has been more reminiscent of a
dictatorial regime then a democracy. The coercive manner in
which GMC has been imposed on the insured citizens, the
intimidation of practitioners who refuse to participate or voice
opposition are quickly reminded that their medical licenses are
a privilege subject to review, suspension or revocation and the
governors refusal to ascertain the costs involved or the revenue
required to fund GMC all convey a sense of arrogance foreign to
our democratic spirit.
This is Shumlins War on Doctors and their patients who call
Vermont home.

Kids Can Remind
Parents Not to Text
and Drive
Last week, I advised parents about ways
to monitor their childs and teens texting
activities. But since then, kids and teens
have texted me that they need help convinc-
ing their parents to stop texting while driv-
ing. Well, as a tweet-iatrician, let me talk
directly to kids this week and share some
tips that may help even though parents know they should not
be doing this when they are behind the wheel.
First, rather than telling your parent to stop texting while in
the car, pick a time to have a serious, sit-down heart-to-heart
talk when a parent cannot rush away to something else and
isnt driving. Tell your parent you need their full attention and
dont want to be interrupted.
Speak calmly and kindly, saying how sad and scared you
feel that despite your reminders in the car, you are being
ignored. And as a result you are afraid for your safety and that
of your parent and anyone else who is riding with you.
You should tell your parent you love them too much to lose
them in an accident due to their texting. Tell your parent that
your friends have noticed it too, and if their parents knew you
were doing this, your friends would not be allowed to ride with
you.
You can say that texting and driving is the same as drinking
and driving when it comes to your safety and everyone elses
in the vehicle. Share information youve read, watched or
heard on the news regarding the dangers of texting.
Finally, remind your parent they are your role model, and
you are counting on them to set a good example. As they
should know, texting while driving is not the way to do that.
If talking to your parent does not do the trick, try writing a
letter to your parent or asking another adult to speak on your
behalf. And if that doesnt work, start trying to get places via
friends whose parents dont text when driving.
Hopefully tips like this will drive home the importance to a
parent of not texting while driving, so that the entire family is
safer when a parent is at the wheel.

CCC Closes Season with Two Events
The Millstone Trails Association will be holding its third
RockFire Celebration the weekend of June 27th-29th. RockFire
has been held since 2012 as part of the MTAs fundraising efforts
for their $100,000 contribution to the purchase of The Barre Town
Forest.
RockFire is a unique combination of art, music and fire on a
monumental scale, all set in the evocative setting of Millstone
Hills abandoned granite quarries and granite industry ruins. This
years opening act will be the return of Bow Thayer and the Holy
Plow, who performed in 2012. The high point of the festivities will
once again be the FireWalk, a two mile procession lit by over
1,000 luminaries, leading participants through a fire lit pathway
featuring six stage areas with live musicians, fire lit art installa-
tions and dozens of massive bonfires on Millstone Hills iconic
grout piles.
One of the most successful features of the RockFire festival has
been the participation by several of Barres renowned sculptors,
who have created works on Millstone Hills granite ruins. The
Grand Lookout setting is so inspiring for us, says third-year par-
ticipant Heather Milne Ritchie. Its great to work outdoors in an
area that is so connected to Barres granite heritage. What we are
really doing up there is creating an amazing outdoor sculpture park
that will be enjoyed by generations to come.
Many of the past years festival favorites will be returning in
2014 including the bagpipe opening fanfare, the pyrophone perfor-
mance by Antoinette Jacobson, musical performances by Revels
North and the sky lantern finale.
Last years rain certainly made us all the more aware of the
challenges of staging an outdoor event, says Pierre Couture,
RockFires creator. The hundreds of folks who attended in 2013
seemed to have enjoyed their experience in spite of the weather,
and the 100 plus volunteers who made the event possible were
willing to come back, so we are going to give it another try and
hope that weather-wise, 3 is the charm.
The biggest addition this year will be the acclaimed Iron Guild
performance by Rutland based foundry owner Glen Campbell,
who will be joined by metallurgists from throughout New England
as they combine traditional foundry techniques with innovative
spectacle performances. Installation artists are being invited back
in 2014 to create works to be placed throughout the trail network
and a prize will be awarded for the artist whose work best repre-
sents the theme of The Four Elements: Rock Water Fire Art.
The organizers are also hoping to increase the number of rock
pile bonfires. In order to do this, they are looking for additional
volunteers willing to help prepare and man the giant fires. A num-
ber of local community organizations such as the Boy Scouts, the
Junior ROTC Program, Project Graduation and others have
manned fires or used the MTAs festivals as a fundraising oppor-
tunity in years past. Any individuals or groups interested in volun-
teering as Keepers of the Fire or who would like information on
becoming a vendor at the event should contact Pierre at 479-
1000.

aged to go to their website, Rockfirevt.com.

Musicians Against Child Abuse
Concert in Montpelier
In honor of National Child Abuse Prevention month in April,
the power of music and community will come together against
child abuse with a benefit concert in Montpelier on Sunday, April
27. All funds raised at the awareness concert will go to Prevent
Child Abuse Vermont (PCAVT) for their vital statewide programs
promoting and supporting healthy relationships between children
and the people who care for them, in order to eliminate child
abuse.
Vermont musicians from throughout the state will be coming
out to play the event. Russ, Greta & PQ, an Americana trio from
the Mad River Valley, will kick off the event at 4pm; folk singer-
songwriter Stephanie Lynn of Montpelier, joined by her dad,
William Lynn, will play an acoustic set at 4:30pm; Chad Hollister,
Burlington native and a voice for the positive will follow the
Lynns at 5pm; and Bow Thayer, Americana powerhouse and
Tweed River Music Festival headliner, will take the stage with his
band to bring home the event starting at 6pm.
The Musicians Against Child Abuse concert will take place at
Montpeliers newest live music venue, Sweet Melissas. There is
a $10 suggested donation, and all ages are welcome. Come out for
a night of great music, community, and awareness.
The benefit is made possible by the generous support of
National Life of Vermont and VSECU, a credit union for everyone
in Vermont.
NOFA Vermont
Announces CSA Open
Farm Day
The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont
announces the first CSA Open Farm Day. On Sunday, May 4, 2014
from 1pm to 4pm, farms across Vermont will open their green-
houses, barns, and fields to community members.
Open Farm Day is an opportunity for everyone to get to know a
local farmer, and falls just before the beginning of most farms
CSA programs. CSA stands for Community Supported Agriculture,
and is a form of direct farm-to-consumer sales in which the cus-
tomer typically subscribes in the spring for a weekly share of the
seasons produce.
Over 40 farms will participate in this years CSA Open Farm
Day. Farm activities may include tours, demonstrations, product
tasting, scavenger hunts, and more. Everyone is welcome to this
community event.
Learn more and find a participating farm near you at www.
nofavt.org/CSA-day. The 2014 CSA Open Farm Day is made pos-
sible in part by a Vermont Specialty Crop Block Grant.

Y
esterday afternoon I was briey enter-
tained, by a y. I know, I need to get
a life. But this y was a special y, as
it was the very rst house y I had seen alive
since before the winter of 2013 ice age oc-
curred, here in Vermont. He or she, Im not sure which gender the
y was, or even why I said he or she, was just leisurely walking
around on the outside of my windshield, as I sat in my car, waiting
for my wife to return from the pharmacy. The y was, apparently,
simply getting some exercise for its little y body, and was totally
unaware that a creature of immense intelligence (everything is
relative) was watching its underside as it did so.
I dont normally enjoy insects, or spend much time thinking
about them or watching them. But, about fteen minutes before
yesterday it was winter here in Vermont, and I was sick of that
fact. The Bible says that someday they shall beat their swords
into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Truthfully,
Im ready to beat my snowblower into a lawn ornament, or some-
thing.
I guess I dont belong this far north, but so far, the far south is
far from where I am. As strange as the following may seem (and
be), I am a person who thinks its normal to plant spring veggies
and owers, in winter, in his house, just to see something green,
alive, growing. I love the smell of a seed tray full of fresh, moist
potting soil, warming in window-pane sunshine. So sue me. For
several years I made it a habit to grow a pumpkin plant in a pot, in
January, from a leftover jack-o-lantern seed from the previous fall.
I also often walk around our neighborhood, in the evening, at this
time of year, and look for the rst blades of other-than-brown grass
on some lawn, any lawn, anywhere, and for the rst buds of spring.
Yesterday I was simply being entertained by one of the rst BUGS
of spring, or at least the rst one I had seen. You people in Florida
just dont know what youre missing. Well, maybe you do.
So, I actually welcomed seeing that little bugger, as he scur-
ried around on my cars glass. His (or her) actual purpose was
probably simply to nd something disgusting on the glass, to eat.
Unfortunately for the y, my car had recently had most of the dis-
gusting stuff of winter washed from its surface, so that windshield
must have seemed to be a huge wasteland of no-waste, from his
tiny point of view. How sad, to walk on, nearly forever, (ies have
short lives - again, everything is relative) and to nd nothing to
sustain you.
In a few weeks I will certainly forget about the rst y of spring,
on my windshield, and hopefully, by that time, you will also have
forgiven me for writing this column. After all, my y looked a lot
like most other ies, in fact, pretty much exactly like most other
ies. In those few weeks from now, whenever I see a y, I will
think only of just how nasty they really are, and of the kinds of
places they normally like to walk around. Piles of doggie-do, bod-
ies of dead rodents, and other such lovely landing spots will come
to mind the rst time a y lights on my cheeseburger. But, for now,
to me, this rst y was my harbinger of a spring which might actu-
ally be beginning in Vermont; the rst living bug I had seen since
that last y of fall, about a hundred years, and six hundred bags of
wood pellets ago. It was good to accept my y as that rst promise
of warm weather ahead. He was quite welcome on my car yester-
day, and I refrained from using the windshield wipers to whisk him

Berlin Should
Retain Control of
Public Safety
Services
Editor:
In the coming weeks a peti-
tion will likely be circulating
requesting Berlin residents to
vote on the regional public
safety authority charter. If the
town of Berlin votes yes on
this item, it will join Berlin to a regional governing authority and
merge Berlins public safety services (police, fire, EMS) with
Barre City and Montpelier. A no vote on this item will allow
Berlin to retain local control over these important services.
Public safety expenditures in Berlin are second only to educa-
tion and are the largest part of the municipal budget. Giving up
control of that portion of our budget is giving up significant con-
trol of our town.
Right now Berlin has 100 percent control over its emergency
services. If we join the authority, our ownership, control, and abil-
ity to make decisions regarding public safety will no longer be our
own.
Compared to Berlin, Barre and Montpelier are both developed
cities with large government structure, combined populations of
about 17,000 people, aging complicated infrastructure, and com-
bined annual budgets in excess of $22,500,000. Berlin has approx-
imately 2,900 residents, a budget of about $2,500,000 and doesnt
even have a downtown. This disparity creates a high probability
that Barre and Montpelier will find common ground due to their
similarities and drive the decisions concerning the costs and direc-
tion of the authority.
Barre and Montpelier together spend 900 percent more money
every year than Berlin does. As members of the authority they will
always have more votes to apply toward their common interests,
leaving Berlin defeated.
Basic business practices and common sense thinking say, dont
sign anything you havent read and thoroughly understand. If you
have not read the charter, do not sign a petition. I have read the
charter several times; it is complex, lengthy, and unfavorable to
Berlin. Get your copy at: http://leg.state.vt.us/docs/2014/bills/
Intro/H-892.pdf
If you dont have time to read the charter, I am confident that
every select board member has Berlins best interests in mind and
it is public knowledge that we have been unanimously opposed to
Berlins participation in the authority.
Berlin has a bright future ahead of it and there is no need to sell
our soul and lock ourselves into this authority. There will be more
public safety options available that will allow us to retain the
freedom and control of our town and still provide public safety to
meet our growing needs.

Rescind the Potholes, Not the Bond
Editor:
Early in Waterburys history, it is assumed the voters voted for
roads, streets, bridge, schools, etc. Now if only those votes had
been rescinded, we would have no potholes, no schools, no town
and no taxes. How perfect would that be?

How fortunate we be that there were no rescinders, and how
fortunate wed be if there were none today. I guess their theme is
there is no future for our community, and if there is, its not their
problem.
Well, I, for one think Waterburys future is very bright in spite
of those who cant think beyond next Friday. Would they please
stop embarrassing the rest of us for all of our sake, please vote No!
to Rescind.

Waterbury
Vote No on Bond Rescission
Editor:
I would like to thank the Waterbury Selectboard and the
Municipal Building Committee for their many long, tedious and
Im sure frustrating hours negotiating the location and design of
the new municipal complex.
On March 4th, Town Meeting Day, approximately 40% of
Waterbury voters voted. The proposed municipal complex passed
809 yes to 617 no.
Your support should include to:
1. Eliminate the floodplain issue
2. Incur no additional land costs
3. Know it is affordable
4. Have a forward vision for Waterbury
5. Have a consolidation of municipal services
6. Secure and protect 250 years of public records in one dry and
fireproof location
7. Be ADA compliant
8. Increase staff efficiency
9. Have a shared meeting room with a capacity for 70 people
10. Have adequate on-site parking
11. Preserve the historic Janes House
12. Allow the fire department to utilize the second floor as first
designed
13. Provide energy efficiency
Most importantly - the visual impact as one enters the village
from I-89 or Rte 100 - that first impression will provide a lasting
impression!
We will have a place to display our past. We will have a place
to learn about today. We will have a place to plan for our future.
We will have a community place in which to work together and
grow.
Waterbury is at at New Crossroads. Early voting begins April
23rd. Voting Day is May 13th. To ensure our future, vote No on
Rescission!

I
think that what I hate about spring,
what passes for spring in Vermont, is
the cold, dreary weather! When we are
blessed with a sunny day, I can hardly con-
tain myself. It is during those lovely days
that I envy those who actually have a spring
at this time of
year. You know what I mean - those
who can look out their window and
see beautiful little fower heads pok-
ing through the green grass and as
the fowers grow, the birds accom-
pany their growing with wonderful
songs and chirps! Yes, that is my idea
of spring.
When I was a little girl and lived
in New Jersey, my grandmother al-
ways took me to buy new party
shoes for Easter. I can remember that
magical day as clear as day. I loved
my new Mary Janes and when I
got them, I knew that Easter and spring were on the way. I didnt
get a new dress for Easter very often, but I made do with a new hat.
So when I wore my new shoes and new hat to church, I felt like a
real spring fashion plate!
With all the bad news from around the world and the constant
reminder about how bad everything is, I was thrilled to get a won-
derful letter the other day. This letter was hand-written to me by
Elizabeth, who is 96 years old and lives in Montpelier. First, I was
thrilled to get a letter from someone that was actually hand-written.
With the computer these days, I was pleased to see that someone
actually took the time to write to me by her own hand. And not
only that, it was written in cursive! Now that cursive is no longer
taught in our schools, this letter is about to be a relic!
But her hand-written letter and kind and lovely words werent
the only things that cheered up my day. Oh, no, there was much,
much more. Instead of sharing with me all the problems of grow-
ing old and living in Montpelier, she
told me that in 2006 she had been
encouraged to move to Vermont by
her son. It seems that she has a a
large and attentive family who live
close by. She has three children of
her own who take good care of her
(!) and she also is fortunate enough
to have six grandchildren and three
great-grandchildren! I like to think
that it is because of her wonderful
attitude on life, she loves Vermont.
And instead of complaining about
where she lives or what she can or
cannot do, she went out of her way
to share with me how kind and wonderful her terrifc neighbors
are!
I have to tell you that after reading her lovely letter, I re-read
it again! And after I read it I realized how very happy this letter
made me. Here was a woman who went out of her way to talk to
me and to share with me her thoughts. And I was so fortunate to re-
ceive such a gift! Nothing is nicer than a happy, cheerful letter that
comes from the heart. I believe that I am extraordinarily fortunate.
I, too, am a lucky woman to be able to count my blessings! And
you should count yours, too.
Many thanks to the 80 citi-
zens of Duxbury who respond-
ed to the Town Meeting Survey.
It was the largest return ever!
Duxbury supported increas-
ing the minimum wage and in-
creased cell service and broad-
band. Following are comments
and results.
Paychecks
Do you really need to take 16
percent of my paycheck every
week? I work for $9.00 an hour
and trying to live.
Drugs
Prescription opiate-related
drugs are a bigger worry than
heroin. Their casual prescrip-
tion gets people hooked, gets
those people often into trouble
with heroin and the grim cir-
cumstances and community im-
pacts of heroin.
Wind
Is wind turbine energy really
cost effective? If it is cost ef-
fective to put into place and re-
ally can produce a lot of energy,
then, yes.
Technical Legislation
More tech programs for stu-
dents at the high school level.
Our high school pushes for col-
lege after graduation, yet, not
everyone can afford college.
Phones
Handheld use and texting
should be prohibited, but hands-
free okay.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) You
might need to do a bit more investi-
gating before making a career move.
You do best when you come armed
with the facts. A personal matter still
needs tending to.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Your creativity plus your good
business sense once more combine to give you an important
advantage in a difficult workplace situation. An ally proves his or
her loyalty.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Avoid rushing into something just
because it offers a break from your usual routine. Take things a
step at a time to be sure youre moving in the right direction.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Bouncing back from a disappoint-
ing incident isnt easy, but you should find a welcome turn of
events emerging. Spend the weekend with someone special.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) An incomplete project needs your
attention before someone else takes it over and uses it to his or her
advantage. Therell be lots of time for fun and games once you get
it done.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Doubts involving a potential
career change need to be resolved quickly so they dont get in the
way when you feel youre finally ready to make the big move.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Looking to blame someone
for a workplace problem could backfire if it turns out youve got
the wrong culprit. Best to get more facts before acting on your
assumptions.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Patience might still be
called for until youre sure you finally have the full story that
eluded you up till now. A trusted associate could offer valuable
guidance.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) Look into your
recent behavior to see if you could have caused the coolness you
might now be sensing from a loved one. If so, apologize and set
things straight.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Easing up on your
social activities allows you to focus more of your energies on a
long-neglected personal matter. You can get back into party mode
by the weekend.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A dispute with a col-
league can be resolved peacefully once you both agree to be more
flexible about the positions youve taken and allow for more open-
minded discussions.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Volunteering to take on added
responsibilities could be a risky way to impress the powers-that-
be. Do it only if youre sure you wont be swept away by the extra
workload.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your sense of self-awareness allows you to
make bold moves with confidence.

The Easiest Cream of
Broccoli Soup
Not only is this the easiest but the most avorful Cream of
Broccoli Soup you will ever have! Honestly. The stalks of
the broccoli have always been overlooked when making this
soup, with chefs using the bland, almost tasteless orets,
which really only adds color value instead of avor. This
soup is light green in color and the sweet stalks are, far and
above, more avorful than the darker green tops. And as
suggested below, many restaurants use non-dairy creamer
in soups and chowders now. The reason? Because the
soup holds up far longer in a steam table without curdling,
as milk-based soups have a tendency to do if left on heat
throughout the day. You may be surprised at the great avor
of this alternative.
3 cups sliced broccoli stalks, 1/2-inch wide
1 teaspoon dried chives, optional
1 teaspoon celery seeds
Vegetable or chicken broth, as needed
1 cup light cream, half-and-half or whole milk*
Salt and black pepper to taste
Add broccoli stalks to a large saucepan and add enough
water to cover by 4 inches. Boil over high heat for 13-15
minutes, or until very tender. Transfer, in batches, to a food
processor or blender along with the chives, celery seeds and
liquid; puree until smooth. Add back into saucepan, making
sure you have at least 4 cups pureed broccoli and liquid. If
needed, add vegetable broth along with cream, seasoning to
taste. A good rule of thumb here is add a 1/4 cup cream to
every cup of pureed broccoli and water. Heat over low until
warmed through. Serve immediately or soup is even better
the next day. Add 1 cup diced, yellow Cheddar cheese with
the cream to make a delicious Broccoli Cheddar Soup.
*Want even less calories? Mix 1/2 cup non dairy coffee
creamer with 1/2 cup hot water and whisk until smooth. Add
this to the soup instead of cream or milk.

Wallet Sciatica
Sitting on a fat wallet in one's rear
pocket can cause pain in the buttock
that radiates down the leg on that
side, a condition called "wallet
sciatica." The bulging billfold can
crimp the sciatic nerve especially if
you sit on it for long periods of time
like at work or while driving. It
seems that the rear pockets in most
pants happen to be situated at one of
the most vulnerable areas of the
nerve. Sitting on an overstuffed
wallet can also raise one hip and
throw your spine out of alignment
This may cause lower back pain.
The solution is to thin out your
wallet or keep it in a front or coat
pocket.

O
h, what the cuddle hormone, oxytocin, can do
for you! Long famous for helping moms and
newborns bond, new reports show this chemical,
produced by two specialized areas in the brains
hypothalamus, does far more than that for women
and men; it boosts happiness, fine-tunes communi-
cation skills, improves everyday relationships and
chases away anxiety and stress.

As a take-a-dose-and-feel-better medication, oxy-
tocins not ready for prime time. But someday this
neuropeptide could be the basis for new treatments for everything
from autism and eating disorders to serious mental-health prob-
lems. In fact, preliminary studies indicate that a nasal spray of
oxytocin can increase activity in brain areas involved with under-
standing and response to social cues in kids with autism, and that
it can dial down obsessive thoughts about food and body size in
people with anorexia. It may even help ease drug addiction.
Fortunately, there are natural ways to boost your oxytocin lev-
els. And youll love the results! Rising levels help dads bond with
their kids and bolster a male partners loyalty to his mate. And a
surge of oxytocin increases both mens and womens trust and
resilience, promotes deeper sleep and reduces depression. A blast
of the hormone also encourages you to connect with your mate,
friends and children -- especially when times are tough. Such
closer connections and social support open the door to a long list
of health benefits, including stress reduction, better heart health,
stronger immunity, more efficient digestion and even a longer life.
So heres how to boost your levels of this feel-better, love-better,
live-better hormone:
More sex. Between-the-sheets intimacy releases a rush of oxy-
tocin. Set your alarm clock to ring 30 minutes earlier for some
morning affection to enjoy feeling more loving, bonded and
relaxed all day.
Longer hugs. Hold on longer next time you hug your mate, kid,
parent or good friend. A top oxytocin researcher says an extended
embrace (aim for 20 seconds) cues oxytocins release from your
pituitary gland.
A mini-massage. Next time you pass one of those massage
kiosks at the mall -- or your mate or a pal offers to knead your
shoulders -- say yes. A 15-minute back massage
boosted oxytocin levels for lucky volunteers in one
recent University of California San Diego study,
while those who simply relaxed in a quiet room for
15 minutes missed out on this bonus.
Quiet support. Got a great relationship? Soak in
it! Spending just 10 minutes of quiet time holding
hands with your partner can raise oxytocin levels,
vaporize stress hormones and reduce your blood
pressure, too. For best results, turn off the TV,
silence your cellphone and tell the kids youre taking a break.
Getting a blast of oxytocin doesnt completely depend on skin-to-
skin contact; giving and receiving support and empathy is an
oxytocin-boosting experience.
Movies that touch your heart. Turns out your brain reacts to
fictional characters on the big screen just as it would to people in
the real world -- and you can use your imagination to your advan-
tage. Skip the screwball comedy and the latest disaster flick at the
cineplex. Watching an emotionally compelling movie (even
chick flicks) can raise oxytocin levels 47 percent -- by switching
on feelings of empathy.
Tweeting, texting, updating your Facebook page. Connecting
via social media may also trigger an uptick in oxytocin -- a discov-
ery that social networkers have dubbed digital oxytocin. This
can be a nice bonus, but dont let Internet socializing take the place
of in-person contact with pals.
Joining a choir or reviving your garage band. Singing in a group
and listening to relaxing music have both been shown to ratchet up
oxytocin levels. We bet playing music with others will, too.
Having an adventure. Do something exciting and new with your
main squeeze or best friend. Sharing thrills, from dancing to amuse-
ment park rides and more, can make you feel more connected to one
another and has been shown to boost oxytocin levels.

Health Department Urges
Vermonters: Know What
You Are Drinking
April is Alcohol Awareness Month
A beer may no longer be just a beer. A 12-ounce craft beer sold
in Vermont can contain up to three times more alcohol than a glass
of wine (5oz) or a shot (1.5oz) of whiskey.
You need to be aware of the drink size and the variation in
alcohol content, said Health Department Deputy Commissioner
Barbara Cimaglio. A regular beer is about 5 percent alcohol, but
beer can be sold with an alcohol content more than three times that
level. Part of drinking responsibly is asking yourself, How much
am I really drinking?
Wholesale dealers can sell beer with an alcohol content up to 16
percent, according to the Vermont Department of Liquor Control.
The largest malt beverage that can be drawn or served in a glass,
mug, pitcher, or other container is 32 ounces
This combination of large serving size and higher alcohol con-
tent can lead a person to drink more than they intended, or more
than is safe. Unsafe drinking patterns increase risk for injury, ill-
ness or future alcohol problems. About two-thirds (65%) of
Vermont adults said they drank alcohol in the past 30 days, which
is significantly higher than the national average (53%), according
to data from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System.
Vermonters can check their drinking patterns as safe, risky or
harmful using a quick, confidential online screener (http://www.
alcoholscreening.org/Home.aspx) or by calling 1-800-639-6095.
Screening is a preventative measure for any adult, like getting a
regular blood pressure or cholesterol check.

spirits, visit http://rethinkingdrinking.niaaa.nih.gov.
Vermont AgrAbility Helps Disabled
and Suffering Farmers
By Geoff Whitchurch
Vermont AgrAbility Project Education and Outreach Coordinator,
University of Vermont Extension
Agriculture consistently ranks as one of the
nations most dangerous occupations. Each year
many agricultural workers in Vermont sustain
disabling injuries in work-related accidents, non-
farm injuries, illness and other chronic health
conditions.
The effects of a farm going out of business are
felt from the family level to the state level.
Farming has about a $4 billion impact on
Vermonts economy. So when farms go out of
business or do not run efficiently due to operator
injury, illness or accident, families are devastated
and Vermont suffers.
University of Vermont (UVM) Extension has
a couple of programs in place that address this
and related issues. The Rebates for Rollover
Protective Structures (ROPS) program helps
prevent injury by providing a 70 percent rebate
(up to $865) for the installation of a ROPS on
farm equipment. The Vermont AgrAbility Project
provides resources for farm and equipment mod-
ifications for farmers with a disability or chronic
health condition.
The first step towards keeping a productive
farm in business is ensuring safety. Since seven
out of ten farms typically are out of business
within a year of a tractor rollover, it makes sense
for farmers to protect themselves, their family
and their business. ROPS are 99 percent effec-
tive when used with a seatbelt in preventing
rollover deaths and serious injuries.
Farmers with tractors that do not have ROPS
installed, should call (877) 767-7748 with the
year, make and model of the tractor for help in
finding the right ROPS to purchase and for infor-
mation about the rebate offer, which ends soon.
So, what happens when a farmer or other agri-
cultural worker must live with an injury indefi-
nitely? Vermont AgrAbility is a free, confidential
service provided by UVM Extension, promoting
success in Vermont agriculture for people with
health conditions and their families.
Vermont AgrAbility helps farmers and agri-
cultural workers with chronic health conditions
gain more control over their lives, continue to
farm successfully and live independently. They
are eligible if they have any type of acquired or
traumatic disability, physical, cognitive or sen-
sory. AgrAbility addresses many conditions,
including, but not limited to, arthritis, spinal cord
or back injury, paralysis, amputation, brain inju-
ry, visual/hearing problems, respiratory ailments
and muscular impairments.
The program offers education, assistance and
referrals for financial assistance as well as facili-
tates farm modifications to accommodate these
unique abilities. Its vast network of resources
addresses the individual needs of each farmer.
On-site and technical assistance may include
helping farmers to restructure work tasks and
operations, modify farm equipment and tools,
acquire assistive technologies and explore alter-
native agriculture enterprises. Farmers also will
learn how to prevent further injuries or disabling
conditions and have a chance to connect with
others who have accommodated their own dis-
ability.
The Vermont AgrAbility Project operates
under a grant from the U.S. Department of
Agriculture (USDA) Cooperative State Research,
Education, and Extension Service in Washington,
D.C. Currently, there are 21 USDA-funded State
AgrAbility projects plus several affiliates serv-
ing other states using other funding sources.

Whitchurch, Vermont AgrAbility Project

How To Stay Energized Throughout Your Wedding Day
A
couples wedding day is the
culmination of months and
months of planning. For most,
it is one of the most memorable,
magical days of their lives, filled with
fond moments of time spent with close
friends and family.
As enjoyable as a wedding can be,
most brides and grooms who have
already tied the knot can attest that a
wedding is a long, often tiring day. It
is very easy for energy levels to wane.
To ensure you have enough energy to
last through to the final good-bye of
the evening, follow these suggestions
to remain energized.
Recognize your wedding day is a
very long day. Its possible to rise
quite early in the morning to begin
prepping with makeup, hair styles,
wardrobe and more. If the party is an
evening reception, it could last until
the wee hours of the morning. You
may find yourself up for nearly 24
hours, when the cameras will be flash-
ing and the video rolling throughout.
Naturally, youll want to look your
best throughout.
Get a good nights sleep the night
before. Get to bed early the night
before so you will get ample sleep and
look rested. It is understandable that
nerves and excitement may get the
best of you and make it difficult to fall
asleep. If you often grow anxious and
struggle to fall asleep before big
events, talk to your doctor prior to the
wedding to ask if you can be pre-
scribed a one-time-only sleeping pill
that will ensure you get to sleep
promptly. Do not take this medication
with alcohol, and be sure to take it
only if you can get a full 7 to 8 hours
of sleep. Otherwise you may experi-
ence medicine hangover.
Enjoy a hearty breakfast. At break-
fast on the morning of your wedding,
consume a combination of carbohy-
drates and protein. The carbs will
provide the initial burst of energy you
need to get going, and the protein will
keep you feeling full. A combination
of whole wheat toast, fresh fruit and
Greek yogurt makes for a filling start
to the day.
Stay hydrated. Although drinking a
lot of water can result in more fre-
quent trips to the bathroom -- which
can be cumbersome for brides wear-
ing their gowns -- it is essential to stay
hydrated. Dehydration can result in
headaches, weakness and dizziness
and may make you feel cranky. Be
sure to consume water throughout the
day.
Pack some snacks. The time between
breakfast and the cocktail hour of a
wedding may be significant. In your
wedding survival kit, be sure to
pack some easy snacks to eat. Trail
mix can be nibbled for a boost of
energy, and a banana can take the edge
off of hunger pangs. Avoid anything
messy that can drip onto clothing or
get stuck in your teeth. Arrange to
have snacks stowed in the limousine
or another mode of transportation so
that you can refuel on the way to the
ceremony or in transit to the recep-
tion.
Dont overdo it with caffeine. It may
be tempting to lean on an energy drink
or a super-size cup of coffee to give
you the boost you need. But caffeine is
only a temporary fix. After the effects
of the caffeine wear off, you could
find yourself more tired than before
and crash at an inopportune time dur-
ing the day. Instead, a brisk walk out-
doors may recharge your batteries.
Afterward, time spent on the dance
floor enjoying the reception will likely
stimulate some adrenaline to keep you
going.
Eat dinner. When family is beckon-
ing and the photographer needs to get
yet another pose, it is easy to skip din-
ner. Be firm with your decision to
enjoy your meal. After all, you paid
for it and it should not go to waste.
Besides, sitting down to dinner enables
you to rest and absorb the atmosphere
of the wedding.
Continue to drink plenty of water
throughout the night. Alcoholic bever-
ages may be flowing, but too many
spirits can compromise your energy
levels. Be sure to balance the booze
with hydrating fluids, such as water or
juice.
Weddings take up the entire day,
and it can be easy to succumb to a lack
of energy as the day progresses. But
by heeding a few tips, its possible to
remain in top form throughout the
entire wedding day.
Weddings & Special Occasions
Rings
Did you know?
Symbolic gestures are commonplace during wedding ceremonies. The
exchange of rings, stomping on a glass and lighting of candles are each
among the various traditions associated with different faiths. Couples
who would like to try something a bit different can opt for pouring sand.
Choose two different colored sands and decorative vessels that can hold
the sand until a special time in the ceremony. You also will need another
large, clear container that will contain the sand once it is poured. A glass
vase or heart-shaped vessel works well. To symbolize the joining of two
lives together, both the bride and groom can take one of the colors of sand
and begin pouring them together into the larger container. The ribbons
of sand will join and meld together, much as the couples separate lives
will now become one. The nished sand art can be kept on a mantle as a
remembrance of the wedding day for years to come.

Rumors, Ramblings & Racing: with Steve Poulin
Bond Auto Parts last week announced a new program for the
American Canadian Tour competitors who win qualifying events
and attend the prestigious Bond ACT Invitational at New
Hampshire Motor Speedway on Saturday, September 20. Bond
has put up a total of $10,000 spread across nine qualifying events
for drivers and fans. The New England automotive supply giant
will award ACT competitors $1,000 for their first win in the nine
qualifying events. Repeat winners will receive $500 for each addi-
tional win, while the other $500 will be awarded to the highest
finishing driver who has not yet won or received a bonus in a
qualifying event. The nine events include the first seven American
Canadian Tour point counting events, as well as the Vermont
Governors Cup at Thunder Road and the International race at
Airborne. Along with the $1,000 bonus, Bond Auto will also
award the 15th place finisher in each of the nine events with a
$100 Bond Auto gift card. Three-time Invitational winner, Eddie
MacDonald claimed the first $1,000 bonus with his win at Lee
USA Speedway last weekend, while Aaron Fellows scored the
$100 gift card. This sponsorship is a great way to connect the
drivers and the fans of ACT throughout their season leading up to
the big race at New Hampshire, said Mark Mast, vice president
of marketing at Bond Auto. These guys are really motivated to
qualify for this race, but a little extra change in their pockets only
sweetens the deal. Short track fans who attend the qualifying
events will get a chance to win free tickets for the Bond ACT
Invitational and VIP hospitality experiences for the weekend. The
weekend features the Invitational on Saturday, September 20,
joined by the NASCAR Truck Series and the Whelen Modified
Tour.
Garage Garble
NASCARs three top Series have their own version of spring
break and it has arrived, with the traditional Easter weekend hia-
tus. Its time for a bit of rest, relaxation and examination regard-
ing the first eight races of the 2014 season. In case you hadnt
noticed, theres a lot going on in Sprint Cup, starting with the
unreal level of parity that has made predictability an outdated
term. Much has been said and written about the seven different
winners to start the season, a streak broken this past weekend at
Darlington Raceway when Kevin Harvick became the years first
two-time winner. Overshadowed somewhat has been a concurrent
revolving door, in the form of eight different Coors Light Pole
winners to open the season, tied for the series longest season-
opening streak of different pole winners.
Other items of interest after eight Two drivers with race
victories arent even in the top 16 in points, starting with Harvick
who is mired talk about another outdated term due to the new
format in 22nd. Harvicks Stewart-Haas Racing teammate Kurt
Busch is 26th but he has a Martinsville victory and a likely Chase
berth. Dale Earnhardt Jr. won the Daytona 500, has three runner-
up finishes plus one third. He has been running near the front
seemingly all season with the exception of Texas, when he ran
into the grass early in the race. Tony Stewart, coming back from
being sidelined for much of last year by injury, is winless but has
four top-10 finishes in the last five races, including an incredibly
strong Texas run where he was the Coors Light Pole Award win-
ner. Team Penske has both of its drivers in the victory column,
with Brad Keselowski winning at Las Vegas and Joey Logano at
Texas. Thats two wins on 1.5-mile tracks. There are five 1.5-mile
tracks in the Chase lineup. Sounds ominous!
If things continue to play out the way they have so far through
the first two months of the NASCAR Nationwide Series season,
Dale Earnhardt Jr. will be one happy owner come November. After
scoring his second consecutive win of the season Friday night at
Darlington Raceway, JR Motorsports driver Chase Elliott is doing
plenty to turn heads, including his team owner Earnhardt. Elliott
became only the fourth driver to win in his first national series
start at the 1.366-mile track. When he won the previous week at
Texas, Elliott became the second-youngest driver in series history
to post a win at 18 years, four months and seven days. Seven days
later, however, he became the youngest driver to capture his sec-
ond victory in any of NASCARs three national series. In addition
to his two wins, Elliott has six top-10 finishes in the first seven
races of 2014. His only non-top 10 was a still-respectable 15th in
the Daytona season opener. Going into the Easter break, Elliott
leads the points standings by 13 over his teammate Regan Smith,
who hasnt been too bad either. Smith has started the season with
seven straight top 10s, including a victory at Daytona. As it stands
right now, it looks like JRMs Elliott and Smith are the drivers to
beat. One of the two drivers has led the drivers standings after
each of the seasons first seven races. Smith led the points after the
first five races before handing over the reins to Elliott, who also
holds a 22-point advantage over Ty Dillon in the Sunoco Rookie
of the Year race. Speaking of the rookie competition, Elliott has
simply setting the bar high for everyone else. Dillon is having a
stellar year in his own right and would be enjoying a healthy lead
in the rookie standings most other years, having already compiled
seven finishes of 11th or better.
ThorSport Racing teammates Matt Crafton and Johnny Sauter
are the only two drivers currently entered in the May 9 NASCAR
Camping World Truck Series SFP 250 at Kansas Speedway with
wins at the 1.5-mile track. Sauter, whos driving style is through
instead of around other drivers, drove to Victory Lane in 2010,
and Crafton accomplished the feat last season. If either driver wins
the Friday night race, he would become the first driver to secure
multiple wins at Kansas. There have been 13 different winners in
as many races at the track. ThorSport will also have a third truck
there with Jeb Burton making his third consecutive start for the
team this season. He has made two starts at Kansas Speedway.
What Theyre Saying
Joey Polewarczyk, Jr. (Pole) from Hudson, NH on this week-
Mark Mast, Bond Auto Parts, Vice President oF Marketing.
Steve Poulin Photo
ends Thunder Roads 55th season opener. Polewarczyk is looking
for his first win in a Merchants Bank opener. When asked why
Thunder Road is so tough, the 2014 ACT title contender said, I
love racing at Thunder Road and I hate racing at Thunder Road.
Its been good to me and frustrating for me. Man, you earn every-
thing you get every lap at that place. First, you have to race the
track, which is high-banked, narrow, two grooves and pretty wild.
Then you have to take on what is probably the largest and best
group of weekly racers in the country, along with the Tour regu-
lars. I have won some big shows (Governors Cup 150 in 2009 and
the Peoples United Bank Milk Bowl in 2010), but Ive always
wanted to win the Merchants Bank opening race. It would give our
team tremendous momentum toward our goal of winning the ACT
title this year.
Next Lap
American Canadian Tour teams will get their next shot at the
new Bond Auto $1,000 bonus during the 16th Annual Merchants
Bank 150 at Thunder Road International Speedbowl on Sunday.
The Merchants Bank 150 will once again kick off the Thunder
Road season and host the second ACT event of the year. Of the ten
(10) different Merchants Bank winners to date, seven (7) of them
have also won a Thunder Road Late Model Championship. Those
seven drivers have combined to win eleven (11) of the fifteen (15)
Merchants Bank 150s to date. But only twice has the winner of the
Merchants Bank 150 gone on to win the Thunder Road track
championship in the same year (Tracie Bellerose in 2000 and Nick
Sweet in 2010). Defending race winner Brian Hoar became the
third different driver to win back-to-back Merchants Bank 150s in
2013 and he will have the opportunity to become the first three
-straight winner. The odds are stacked against us, said Hoar.
We will prepare and go out to win as we always do but we expe-
rienced the new car blues at Lee. PREVIOUS MERCHANTS
BANK 150 WINNERS: Brian Hoar (2013 & 2012), Nick Sweet
(2011 & 2010), Eric Williams (2009), Scott Payea (2008 & 2007),
Jean-Paul Cyr (2006), Dave Pembroke (2005), Jean-Paul Cyr

The NASCAR Sprint Cup Series schedule resumes Saturday
night April 26 at three-quarters mile, D- shaped Richmond
International Raceway with the Toyota Owners 400, 300 miles of
door handle-to-door handle, hard-nosed short track style racing
(FOX, 7:00 p.m.). Richmond has been called, through the years,
the perfect track which means theres a good chance at an inter-
esting season is about to become even more so, coming out of our
spring break. Defending race winner Kevin Harvick will be look-
ing for his third win of the season. Richmond International
Raceway is one of a few race tracks to host all of its events under
the lights. The track sold out 33 consecutive NASCAR Sprint Cup
Series races. The sellout streak ended in September 2008, the
major factor in reduced ticket sales was the impact of Tropical
Storm Hanna. In 2010, the Raceway introduced a state-of-the-art
Video Scoring Tower that boasts more LED square footage than
any other in the motorsports industry. The top features four high
definition LED screens that measure 38-feet wide by 24-feet high.
The screens broadcast live race action and pre-produced video and
graphics. The trunk shows the running order and has the ability to
rotate through the entire field.

Noah
I
n the Bible, the story of Noah is brief and
unembellished.
Noah - a 600-year-old vineyard owner -
was the only faultless man in a world full of
wicked jerks.
God told him to build an ark. Noah complied.
And then God killed everyone on earth except
Noah, his family, and two of every animal.
Actually, Noah saved more than two of the
animals that godly people liked to sacrice
back then. After the ood, Noah sacriced a
few beasts to the Lord. When God smelled the
burning esh, He was so pleased that He soft-
ened His heart about humanitys sins.
According to scripture, every rainbow is a
reminder of Gods covenant: His eternal vow
to never get ticked off like that again and mur-
der everyone.
Basically, the story of the ood is all about
God. Noah is just a boring old righteous man.
The only colorful thing he ever did was get
wasted off his own wine one time and pass out
naked. (Seriously. Thats Genesis 9:21).
The story of Noah simply is not interesting
enough to warrant a 2 1/2 hour movie. And
Noah proves it.
This is a long, grim movie with no interesting
characters, no surprises, and no laughs. There is
nothing that could have made Noah great.
And thats proven by the fact that Noah
was made by a truly great director: Darren
Aronofsky. His masterpieces The Wrestler
and Black Swan are brilliant lms about ob-
sessed entertainers.
Noah (Russell Crowe) is obsessed, too. But
not in an interesting or comprehensible way.
When he wakes up from a dream convinced
that God has commanded him to build a huge
ark, his family is completely cool with it. They
help him build it, no questions asked.
When Noah takes his obsession a step fur-
ther and determines that he must massacre his
infant granddaughters, we never really under-
stand where he came up with the idea. We just
start hating the lead character of the movie.
If youre going to turn one of the heroes of
the Old Testament into a monster you have to
give us a good reason. Noah never does.
The worst thing about Noah are The
Watchers. Noah is aided by a bunch of cartoon
rock creatures known as Watchers. They are
angels who were cast out of heaven by God and
doomed to roam the earth as big scary rocks.
Im guessing the only reason The Watch-
ers exist is to ght the climatic, Lord of the
Rings-esque battle scene between Noahs
family and the angry mob that wants to steal
the ark.
The only good thing I can say about Noah
is that it made me want to go home and read the
Bible. But thats it. The movie is garbage.

Stephen Clark, 11 and Mr. Magoo, E. Montpelier Kaleb Clark, 5 and Ruff Ruff, Barre
P
astor Julius Nyambuoro of Kenya is re-
visiting central Vermont this month to
try and nd help for the people of the village
of Kabondo, which is outside of Kisumu in
the southwest province of Nyanza an area
forgotten by most of the world.
According to Holly Stockett of Barre
Town who befriended Pastor Julius on his
visit here last year, the area around Ka-
bondo, like much of Kenya, is a draught
and famine stricken area, torn by the HIV/
Aids epidemic, leaving many orphans and
children without a place to call home or get
medical care.
Women are left by husbands affected by
the HIV virus (often later dying themselves)
to care for their children without any means
except prostitution and thus continuing the
cycle.
Pastor Julius also points out that job
rates and wages are very low. There are no
drilled wells or sanitation, electricity or re-
liable clean water. Our school is a 12x13
mud structure for 50 kids and two teachers,
and the landlord tripled the rent forcing the
kids to stay in church womens homes.
Nearly one-half of Kenyans live in abject
poverty second only to Burundi, according to the New World
Bank Report.
Despite all of the obstacles, Pastor Julius is optimistic that
he can nd partners to help this desperate region to one day
become self sustaining.
On last years visit he met a research and development spe-
cialist, Ken Puzey, who had just developed a new solar water
purier which could boil water for a family of four without
using wood (a very precious commodity for the people of Ka-
bondo).
God answered both of our prayers and the production of
these water puriers began in the province of Nyanza, Ke-
nya with a manufacturing facility set up in Kisumo to employ
aged-out orphans.
Pastor Juliuss major needs are:
-Buildings for orphanage, school and church;
-Monthly support for orphans;
-Vocational training opportunities for women and aged-out or-
phans, including provision of materials and training;
-Clean water/well digging project;
-Van/transportation (right-hand driven) to enable orphans to

Brookfield Walkathon to
Benefit Food Shelf
The 4th annual Sufficient
Food for All Walkathon will

Pandoras Promise
I
just watched an eye-opening documentary
on Netix about nuclear energy and how wonderful it is for
mankind.
Come on, Max. Why did you let yourself get bamboozled by
that right-wing corporate propaganda?
I didnt. Believe it or not, this is an environmentalist movie.
Made by environmentalists, for environmentalists.
The documentarys narrators are ve former activists who
used to protest nuclear power plants until they learned the other
side of the argument.
If you are against nuclear power, one narrator decisively
concludes, you are in favor of the expansion of burning fossil
fuels for electricity. That is the crux of the lms argument.
And its the inconvenient truth that most environmentalists
dont want to hear.
We have to get our electricity from somewhere. You may
want to think that our demand for power can be met with so-
lar panels and windmills. But that just isnt the way the world
works. The actual alternatives to nuclear power are natural gas,
oil, and coal.
Especially coal. Old-fashioned, disgusting coal burning is
the number one source of electricity for planet earth. And the
amount we are burning isnt falling; its skyrocketing. Only
nuclear power plants can stop the coal res from burning.
If you are concerned about global warming but instinctively
suspicious about nuclear energy, Pandoras Promise will give
you a lot to think about.
Director Robert Stone doesnt ignore the risks of nuclear
meltdowns. He tackles the issue head on.
Older readers remember the 1979 incident at Three Mile
Island in Pennsylvania. What they may not remember is that
nobody died. It was frightening, but ultimately not very destruc-
tive. And there hasnt been an incident
like it in the United States in the 35
years since.
People denitely did die in the
dreadful nuclear explosion at Ukraines
Chernobyl plant in 1986. Chernobyl is
the ultimate weapon in the anti-nuclear
activists arsenal.
The movie argues, however, that an incident like Chernobyl
could not possibly happen in the United States. The Soviets
failed to build a steel or lead containment structure around the
reactor as is standard procedure in all American facilities.
Chernobyl was a deadly nightmare for the people working at
the plant and an unimaginable horror for the clean-up workers
who died of radiation sickness. But, surprisingly, its effect on the
general population has been minimal.
The lm demonstrates this by taking us to the town of Pripyat,
Ukraine. In 1987, while the Soviet government was still blocking
the roads, a handful of brave locals sneaked through the woods
to return to their homes.
We see an interview with an elderly Eastern Orthodox cler-
gyman who was one of the rst to return. A quarter century of
living in the shadow of the burnt out reactor has had no effect on
his health or the health of his neighbors.
The future of nuclear power looks bright. Nuclear technology
is advancing in exciting and earth-friendly ways. Newly built
reactors can use the recycled nuclear waste from old reactors
as fuel.
They can also use old nuclear weapons as fuel. In fact, this
is already happening. According to lm, half of the fuel used in
American nuclear reactors is from dismantled nuclear warheads.
Some people fear that more nuclear plants equals more nuclear
weapons. Apparently the opposite is true.
Pandoras Promise, as you can tell, is a propaganda lm. It
makes no effort to give equal time to the anti-nuke crowd.
But, propaganda or not, the lm is very convincing. If you are
concerned about global warming, you need to seriously consider
the benets of nuclear power.

BLOW, THERON "TED" O. - A memo-
rial Mass will be held on April 26 at 10am at St.
Matthew Catholic Church in Tolland, Conn. for Mr.
Blow, 94, of Tolland, husband of Barbara Mack Blow.
She preceded him in death in 2006, after 64 years of
marriage. He died on April 5, 2014. Monsignor James
P. Carini will officiate. Born in Barre, Vt., Aug. 6, 1919, Ted was the
son of Watson T. Blow and Cora Jones Blow. He attended Barre
schools, where he graduated from Spaulding High School in 1939,
and was in the Vermont National Guard for six years. He moved to
Connecticut in 1939 and resided in Manchester and Tolland for the
rest of his life. He was active for many years in Tolland as a member
of the Board of Tax Review, and scoutmaster of Tolland Scout
Troop 15 for eight years. Throughout his life Ted was a handyman
to many (a self-avowed fixer of "anything up to and including bro-
ken hearts"), and a relentless raconteur of folk wisdom. A bred-in-
the-bone Vermonter, and fan of non-sequitur bits of wisdom, Ted
often reminded people "You'll never get drowned on Lake
Champlain, if you keep one foot on shore." He made people smile
with an endless supply of stories, jokes and unsolicited advice. In
February 1942 Ted enlisted in the U.S. Army and was stationed in
Alabama, South Carolina and New Jersey before being shipped
overseas to complete four years of service in the European theater.
He served in the Signal Corps and the 2nd Armored Division. He
was with the contingent that occupied a liberated Berlin, Germany.
He was employed by Southern New England Telephone company
for 36 years as a splicer and ended his tenure there as a subway
inspector, and was a life member of the Telephone Pioneers of
America. He retired in 1977. He is survived by his children: Paul
Blow (wife Carol), of Ashford, Conn., and Beverly Mack (husband
Robert Henry), of Lawrence, Kan.; five grandchildren; four great-
grandchildren; and two brothers: Richard Blow (South Carolina)
and Edwin Blow (Florida). His sister Dorothy and brothers Robert,
William, Garth, Stanley, Chester and Harry preceded him in death.
GAGNON, ALBERT F., 86, of
Williamstown, passed away on April 15, at the
Woodridge Nursing Home in Berlin. Born in
Williamstown on July 23, 1927, he was the son of the
late Gedeas and Marie Louise (Tetreault) Gagnon.
Albert was a graduate of the Holy Ghost School in
Graniteville and St. Michael's High School in Montpelier, class of
1945. After graduation he was employed by the Rock of Ages and
Pirie quarries as a helper on channel bars. In October 1948, he
enlisted in the U.S. Army. His overseas service was in Japan from
April 27, 1949, to July 4, 1950, when his unit was sent to Korea at
the beginning of the war. He was in Korea until May 30, 1951. He
received his honorable discharge from the Army at Fort Monmouth,
N.J., on May 16, 1952. After his active service, he enlisted in the
Army Reserve and received an honorable discharge from the
reserve on April 28, 1958. His first employment after his discharge
from the regular Army was with the Vermont State Employment
Service. In September 1957 and until February 1969, he was
employed by the Vermont Highway Department in highway design.
His last employment was with Washington Electric Cooperative in
East Montpelier, from which he retired on July 31, 1989. For hob-
bies he especially enjoyed photography. He also enjoyed hiking,
vegetable and flower gardening, and motorcycle riding. Albert was
a longtime member of St. Monica Catholic Church of Barre; a
fourth degree Knight of Columbus, member of Council 399 and
Assembly 1151, Barre Town. He was very active in the organiza-
tion. The State Council honored him with the Anchor Award in
September 1999. Bishop Kenneth Angell was present. He was also
active in the exemplification of the first, second, third and fourth
degrees of the order. Albert was also a member of the Men of St.
Joseph at St. Monica Parish. Survivors include one sister, Margaret
McAllister, and husband, James, of Williamstown, as well as 21

Williamstown, passed on peacefully at Central

served from 1956-1962 as a weapons mechanic. He was married to

Fire Department for 36 years, he retired as an assistant chief. Doug
always bragged that the Williamstown Fire Department was the best
small-town department in the area. He watched different phases of
the new building being constructed and was very proud of the final
results. Survivors include his daughter, Cathy Jo Johnson and hus-

Bird-Watching 101
DEAR PAWS CORNER:
With a couple of family
members already heavily
into it, Im interested in
becoming a bird-watcher
too -- if only to have
something interesting to
talk about at holiday din-
ners. I thought it would be
easy, but even just bird-
watching in my backyard,
I havent seen much more
than sparrows. Any tips?
-- Bart L., Portland, Ore.
DEAR BART: As a new bird-watcher myself, Ill fall back on
the experts on this one. Thats because starting out in the hobby
(or is it a sport?) can be surprisingly difficult in some respects,
such as finding birds that are more interesting than your com-
mon backyard species.
The 10,000 Birds blog has a very nice post that lays out
some key tips for new bird-watchers. First, the time of year is
key to spotting certain types of birds; but more importantly,
find experienced bird-watchers, and pay attention to what they
tell you. Its not as easy as grabbing a good pair of binoculars
and striding forth into nature; you need to know where certain
birds are likely to nest or hunt, and the best areas from which
to spot them.
The Internet is a great resource, and particularly group meet-
up sites like Meetup.com, on which you can locate bird-watch-
ing groups in your area. If you cant find one that suits your
schedule or that looks right for you, contact your local
Audubon chapter to find out about other groups, chapter meet-
ings or educational seminars or classes.
Even if theyre not strictly bird-watching classes, you may
meet other enthusiasts who can point you in the right direc-
tion.
Send your questions or comments to ask@pawscorner.com.

Did you know?
Many homeowners prefer the look and durability
of real hardwood flooring. It can be exciting to
install new flooring, and you may be anxious to
start transforming a room. But before diving
right in, its necessary to acclimate wood floor-
ing to a home. Otherwise, you may end up with
buckled wood or other problems. Hardwood
flooring needs to sit in the room where it will be
installed for anywhere between five and 10 days
or in adherence to the manufacturer recommen-
dations. This gives the new flooring time to
adjust to the humidity level and temperature of
the home. Natural wood shrinks and expands due
to temperature fluctuations, which is why it is
essential to match the conditions in the home
before working with the flooring. The boards can
be acclimated in the boxes (with the ends
opened) or outside of the boxes.
Yard sale, tag sale,
garage sale ... whatever
you call it, if you do it
right, you can walk away
with a decluttered home
and a nifty bit of cash,
too. Heres my tip: Advertise, advertise, adver-
tise -- on local message boards and websites, as
well as using signs. The more people you drive
to your sale, the more you are likely to sell.
-- JoAnn
When you put jewelry out at a garage sale,
display it for better results. Use a window screen
for paired earrings, or maybe a tie rack for neck-
laces. I sell a lot of costume stuff in my sales.
Kids especially like it. -- R.G. in Mississippi
One way to organize a tag sale is to group items
in bins by price. Or have a dollar table. If you
have lots of clothes, you might price it by the
piece and have good price breaks for people who
buy lots of pieces.
Put well-marked sports equipment in a place
that can be viewed by passersby. Make attractive
displays of toys and tools as well. People are
always looking for these. -- M.H. in Alabama
Not sure how to price your items for resale?
The rule for yard sales is as follows: For items
that are new, still with tags or in original,
unopened packaging, price it as 50 percent off
retail. For items that are in good working condi-
tion, with all parts and accessories, mark them at
30 percent of what you paid. Other items should
be marked down to 20 percent. Be honest with
yourself. If something is just usable, but not
really worth a buck, put it in a free bin. Your
customers will be grateful, and you might make
an additional sale.
Be sure to have plastic bags on hand. Boxes and
newspaper are handy if you are selling any
dishes or glassware, too.
Send your tips to Now Heres a Tip, c/o King
Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475,

Drywall Repair
Q: I know youve cov-
ered this many times
before, but my two sons
were chasing each other
and one of them crashed
into his bedroom wall
and left a big dent and
crack in the wallboard!
Hes OK, but how do I
deal with such a big damaged area? -- Sara in Des
Moines
A: A large area of damage can be a bit daunting,
but you can probably replace that section yourself.
Youll need to buy a piece of wallboard that is a
few inches bigger on all sides than the damaged
area. Youll also need a utility knife (box cutter), a
wallboard saw, a sturdy scrap of plywood or a
1-by-1 board, wood screws, drywall screws, an
electric drill, drywall tape, drywall putty (or joint
compound) and a putty knife, and fine-grit sand-
paper.
The wallboard caved in when your son charged
into it, meaning the impact probably occurred
between two studs. Youll find this out when you
begin to remove the damaged section.
Use a pencil and straight ruler to mark a cutting
line along the top, sides and, if needed, bottom of
the damaged area. Make the area as perfect a
square or rectangle as possible, which will make
the repair much easier.
Using the utility knife, slice along the lines,
then follow with the drywall saw to cut all the way
through. Be very careful sawing next to the studs,
as electrical and plumbing lines sometimes run
along these boards. Use the utility knife or angle
the saw to slice drywall thats flush against a stud.
Carefully pull away the damaged wallboard. If
part of the damaged area is attached to the stud,
tug gently on the attached wallboard to reveal the
screw, and then either remove the screw or care-
fully knock out the drywall from underneath it.
Measure the new, square hole, and cut the
replacement wallboard to those dimensions. Make
sure the new drywall fits -- it doesnt have to be
perfectly snug, but should be pretty close.
Now, even if part of the new wallboard will be
secured to a stud, youll still need to add a backing
to the unsecured side (or sides) of the patch, espe-
cially if its a really big hole. The 1-by-1 scrap
wood comes into play here. Measure and cut the
wood so that it extends an inch or so past the top
and bottom of the hole. Place it behind the hole,
located about the center of the biggest gap between
the studs, and use your electric drill to secure it
with a wood screw, top and bottom.
With the backing in place, put the new wall-
board up with a helper holding it steady. Use dry-
wall or wood screws to attach the wallboard to the
backing boards and to the stud (near the original
screw location but not at it).
Now to cover it up: Place drywall tape along the
edges of the new patch. Using a wide putty knife,
apply drywall putty or joint compound over the
tape, feathering the edges out to better blend with
the surrounding wall. Let the compound dry for at
least recommended time, then sand the compound
smooth. Additional drying time may be needed
before you paint over the repair area, and I recom-
mend priming the area first.
HOME TIP: If you dont want to keep old paint
cans around after painting a room, keep the top
labels so you can order matching paint from the
store if its needed later.

Last Weeks Weather
The very overall gradual transition to spring
continued last week, despite some set back with
wet snow and a heavier rainfall which raised
river levels to over bank full and caused myriad
of flood warnings to be issued. Even Lake
Champlain had minor flooding with 101.5 lake
level causing some beach properties to see extra
water. Wave action can cause erosion and prop-
erty damage with a an effect called a seiche
where the lake levels slosh a bit depending on
the wind direction. Late last week, the rivers
finally began to receded due to lots of snow melt
and a warm day prior. A cool oscillation in tem-
perature caused a Sunday morning low of just 15
degrees in the colder hollow of Gallup Mills in
the Northeast Kingdom.
Ice-Out for Smaller Ponds
With such a cold March extending onto the
end of a significantly harsh winter, ice on many
ponds and lakes continues. But smaller ponds
have finally seen their ice melt out and the transi-
tion to spring continues.
As of last Monday, Ice was still on my local
pond in Worcester but was melting out gradually
each afternoon. My pond temperature as mea-
sured 3 ft down which so far has remained in the
winter like 30s has just finally reached 40
degrees. this is plenty late for this time of year.
Last year, my local pond temperature was run-
ning about 3 to 4 degrees warmer. Once the Ice
completely goes out, the water temperatures
typically climb about 5 to 10 degrees in about a
week.
Emergence of New Wildlife
Once pond water temperatures reach near 50
degrees, painted turtles, and wood frogs began to
show. Sometimes early peepers. So far most
amphibian life has been limited without seeing
any fairly warm night of recent.
One the more spectacular nights of amphibian
life is the Spotted Salamander looking to mate.
It happens across many Vermont vernal pools but
during a warmer showery night. This sometimes
can get delayed for the Salamanders and they can
be rather patient per my observations, until the
very right conditions occur. Salamander Crossing
Brigades take place with volunteers providing
safe comfort for those salamanders crossing sec-
ondary roads in many towns across Vermont.
But the big night once it happens is rather
amazing, with what seems like hundreds of
Spotted Salamanders heading for nearest body of
water to congregate for a date. Whats needed is
a warm night of rain. Right now it appears to be
running a little late.
Vermont Weather Extremes last week
Highest temperature: 68 degrees in Danby,
West Rutland and Rutland on Tuesday the 15th
Lowest temperature: 15 degrees in Gallup
mills Sunday morning the 20th

Global Temperature Facts For Last Week
Last weeks hottest temperature on planet earth
was 114 degrees F Matam (Senegal)

Maximum 24 hour Global Precipitation

Atmospheric CO2
The latest CO2 measurement ending April
12th was 401.17 parts per million. One year ago
the reading was 397.67 parts per million for a
one year change of upward by 3.50 ppm which
was one of the largest indicated so far.
Spring green-up has started and was now pull-
ing carbon out of the atmosphere and into the
ground. This is known as a carbon sink. A stable
or non warming climate is approximately at or
below 350 parts per million.
A different look (pictured left) at the Worcester
Range (foreground) and in the distance the
Green Mountains in the distant background left
where Sugarbush and Mad River Glen can be
seen. Snow in the lower terrain now just in
patches and pretty much all gone in the valleys,
but still plenty of snow up in the higher eleva-
tions as noted on the slopes of White Rock
Mountain and Mount Hunger (right) at 3620
feet.

Vermont Fire Season Emerging
As patches of snow relent toward dry grass
and a return of stick season and an absence of
any major precipitation ahead, Vermont is now
entering into higher fire danger.
This typically occurs from this time in April
and lasts until mid May or until leaf-out and
green-up occrrs.
Higher pressure weather systems brought in
from colder air mass across the northern part of
Canada shift down into the Northeast U.S and
generally bring us fair dry weather. As the air
mass moderates upward in temperatures , condi-
tions typically dry out. Gusty northwest or south-
erly winds can then raise fire danger levels with
relative humidity dropping in the 20 and 30 per-
centiles.
With available dead fuels of sticks limbs,
dead grass and leaves along with dead brush in
second stick season, fires can easily get out of
control. Burn permits are required and fire war-
dens monitor weather conditions this time of
year as this is our Eastern U.S. fore season.
The most fires in the state typically occur in
Washington County and most of them are under
10 acres. The biggest fires in recent years have
got going in the Champlain valley where south-
erly and northerly winds become more chan-
neled with higher wind speeds making fire there
very east to come out of control.
Later into May, the forested terrain of southern
Canada become the epicenter for high fire dan-
ger. If winds are right blowing in from the north,
we can see lots of smoke move across the
Northeast U.S.
Weather Trends AheadSnow Tires to
Come Off
A minor chill down back into the 40s will feel
like old timers backward spring for Wednesday
and into Thursday this week. Gusty northwest-
erly winds pulled into an increasingly stronger
ocean going storm may raise fire danger issues
while drying out the already dry dead fuels to
burn. But, some minor rain showers along with
very high elevation snow showers were also
likely. After milder weather early in the week,
the Wednesday and Thursday cool down will be
short lived and return to more milder conditions
in the 60s by Saturday. Unfortunately as is typi-
cally the case, a warm up comes at the price of
clouds and rain showers, though nothing signifi-
cant was slated for Saturday. Sunday was look-
ing colder going the other way with very light
rain showers mixed yet again with a few wet
snow lakes in the highest terrain.
