Lane recently presented a check to each and thanked them for their services to the community. Representatives of each organization took a minute to thank Rotary and to tell how they are doing this year. In a year with many challenges, many of the groups dealt with the affects of flooding in their buildings and with the people they serve. Other contributions of $16,000 have been given to other organizations earlier this year. The meeting had an atmosphere of community unity, cheerfulness, and happy chatter.

Other objectives include development of leadership qualities and ability to think and speak clearly, and preparation for acceptance of the duties, responsibilities, rights, and privileges of American citizenship. The first place winner in the National Contest takes home $18,000 and the next two finishers receive $16,000 and $14,000, respectively. Each Department (State) winner who participates in the first round of the National Contest will receive a $1,500 scholarship.

Mike Marinelli has lived in Montpelier for 47 years and is married to Elise Marinelli with three sons— Joseph Bousquet, Jeffrey Bousquet, and Andrew Marinelli. Mike is also the eldest son of Ronald and Claudette Marinelli, both current residents of the capital city. Mike and Elise, along with their three children, attended Montpelier public schools and graduated from Montpelier High School. Mike aims to bring a sense of “family values and community service” to the position, keeping in mind the needs of all of today’s Montpelier residents.

Small business newcomers and veterans alike face competition from the economies of scale enjoyed by larger companies. Internet sales, often untaxed, put added pressure on local shops. Family budgets continue to be extremely lean, and shoppers very budget conscious. Fortunately, many central Vermonters are committed to local shopping. They go out of their way to patronize local merchants. A 10 to 16 percent increase in the tax charged Montpelier’s customers will make succeeding that much harder.

Mike Baker, Branch Manager of the Manchester office said: “A number of customers have written or called to thank us for the discount. Pyrofax Energy believes that we should give back to those that have given so much to us, and this is a small gesture. It’s our way of returning the favor to our friends in the military.” Vermont State Auditor, Tom Salmon thanked Pyrofax Energy for acknowledging those who serve or have served our state and country. “As a reservist in the Navy Seabees and working with young men and women in the reserve, I know firsthand how hard these individuals are working to get back on their feet. This show of appreciation has helped a lot of struggling military families who have a hard time making ends meet” Salmon explained. The program continues to be available to all Veterans who show an honorable discharge or valid ID for reservists and active duty and retired service personnel within the Pyrofax Energy service areas; including Eastern New York and the State of Vermont. While this program is not affiliated with the VFW Foundationestablished program, Pyrofax Energy felt it was necessary to recognize the contributions being made by those serving or who have served our country. For further information, or to take advantage of the discount program, contact your local Pyrofax Energy office. Certain restrictions apply.

Green Mountain United Way, serving Washington, Orange, Caledonia, Essex and Orleans Counties, is conducting its annual fundraising campaign to raise $600,000 by the end of April. To date, loyal supporters have brought the campaign up to approximately $340,000 with several significant companies yet to report in. These annual funds are extremely important to the people of these five counties as they provide the means for them to become financially stable, to live healthier lives, to provide learning opportunities for children and to support everyone’s basic needs. Admittedly, many donors chose to generously support flood relief and recovery efforts last year. This shows the care and compassion that Vermonters are so well known for. GMUW was not just sitting back and relaxing during those stressful weeks after Tropical Storm Irene. Staff and volunteers were there mobilizing community members and organizations in those recovery efforts and making sure victims of the flood received the information they needed in order to access the assistance they deserved. What remains, however, is the fact that many of our local neighbors and communities continue to experience non-flood-related needs that GMUW actively strives to meet. To accomplish these goals, the assistance of many is needed, be it financially, in-kind or through volunteerism.

[email protected] THIS WEEK’S PUZZLES ON PAGE 31 LNT Winterfest Closes with Lida Winfield’s “In Search of Air” CRYPTO QUOTE CRYPTO QUIP In this dance and theater performance based on her experience growing up with a learning disability, Vermont dancer, choreographer and spoken word artist Lida Winfield shares the gifts and heartache that accompanied her struggle to learn to read – which did not occur until her early twenties. In Search of Air was created and conceived by Lida Winfield and co-directed by Matt Wohl. The show is a mixture of funny, sad and ironic moments strung together in a creative and captivating format. Lida’s presence on stage expresses her life so clearly that it brings us closer to our own. Experience it at LNT’s intimate theater within Montpelier City Hall, February 23-26. “Every student has a tutor. Whatever you suck at the most, you get to learn with them. My tutor happens to run the dance department. She’s really into Kinesthetic learning. She teaches me to spell while I do jumping jacks. And I never once fall asleep in her class!” Although the stories are personal, the struggle and triumph is universal. Spoken word, music, visual art and movement are woven together to create an extraordinary event that entertains, provokes, and enlightens. “I stop at Staples to buy $100 worth of school supplies. I’m not sure what a successful college student uses, so I buy everything…” This performance starts with beautiful music and silhouette dancing from behind layers of white fabric. Winfield dances within the fabric creating an underwater feeling with beautiful and haunting images. The metaphor of swimming and drowning simultaneously pulls the show through both linear stories and KAKURO GO FIGURE SUDOKU MAGIC MAZE abstract movement. Stacks of books are used to create sculptures, which are then danced among, around, and on. “And why is it I couldn’t access this education that I wanted and I deserved?!” With stunning grace and honesty, Lida Winfield shares her individual experiences, including the pain that comes along with the desire to access an education and a world that always seemed beyond her fingertips. This multi-media performance is breathtakingly beautiful, heart-wrenching, educational, humorous, touching and inspiring. A dancer, teacher, choreographer, and writer, for the last six years Lida Winfield has focused on original solo work, merging storytelling, dance and visual art to create captivating and poignant performances that invariably cause audiences to laugh and cry, sometimes simultaneously. Her work has been featured at FlynnSpace, Burlington; Theatre Ste. Catherine, Montreal, Canada; The West End Theater, Gloucester, MA; and at Saint Michael’s College, Colchester, VT. Lida is also a member of Big ACTION Performance Ensemble. In Search of Air runs February 23-26, 2012, part of Lost Nation Theater’s Winterfest, at Montpelier City Hall.

What can Vermonters learn from Tropical Storm Irene, in order to help make our state stronger and better prepared for flooding in the future? Vermont’s Agency of Natural Resources Climate Change Team has now released “Lessons from Irene: Building Resiliency as We Rebuild,” an interdisciplinary look at Irene’s many impacts and challenges. Readers can find this paper online at www.anr.state.vt.us/anr/climatechange/irenebythenumbers. html. The ANR Climate Change team has been working to promote both mitigation of greenhouse gas emissions and adaptation to a changing climate. This new report points out that flood resiliency may be a critical part of Vermont’s adaptation to climate change, given that 1) many Vermont communities are built along rivers and 2) climate change predictions call for more intense storms and precipitation events in Vermont over the coming decades. The report illustrates the vulnerability of our river valley communities and natural resources to intensive flood disasters, begins to count the costs associated with that vulnerability, and poses some of the hard questions our state and communities will need to answer in order to build flood resiliency. * INTERIOR SIGNS * EXTERIOR SIGNS * TRUCK LETTERING * BANNERS * MAGNETICS Rt. 14 •Williamstown (802) 433-1312 page 10 The WORLD February 22, 2012 Depot & Main Citgo WILLIAMSTOWN 2 x 7.75 by Kimberly B. Cheney ichard Chaplin was arrested and charged with burglary, as a result of a search of his car and apartment where property stolen in the burglary was found by police. These included inspection stickers and snap on tools. The search was pursuant to a judicially issued search warrant. Richard complained that the affidavit in support of the warrant was fatally defective. It did not comply with the constitutional requirement that a valid affidavit must establish probable cause for the search. It is settled law that a search cannot be justified by the fact that incriminating evidence was actually found. Police must establish they had a right to conduct the search in the first place. The trial judge agreed with Richard. The Court suppressed the evidence and dismissed the charges against him. The state appealed to the Supreme Court. The 12 paragraph police affidavit in support of the warrant stated: (1) a video at the scene of the burglary showed a dark colored minivan, possibly blue or green at the time of the burglary; (2) a named informant (#1) admitted selling some of the stolen inspection stickers, but denied participating in the burglary. She identified the person from whom she got the stickers as being overweight, balding, with a moustache, living in an apartment behind the high school, who drove a maroon minivan. She didn‘t know his name, but an anonymous source told her his name was Ricky Chapin and Ricky was the burglar; (3) a paid confidential informant (#63) told police that #1 told him that Ricky has stolen things in his car and apartment; (4) a second paid confidential informant (#60) told police Ricky had a set of snap on tools for sale which were seen in his apartment; (5) Police confirmed that Ricky lived in an apartment behind the high school. A unanimous Supreme Court said the warrant was no good. An R If Police Get a Search Warrant and Find Incriminating Evidence, Is that Enough for a Conviction? affidavit must establish information the reveal circumstance from which a person of reasonable caution could conclude that a crime has been committed and the evidence of the crime will be found in the place to be searched. Hearsay evidence may be used, provided the affidavit sets out facts to show there is a substantial basis for believing the hearsay evidence is creditable, and there is a factual basis for the information furnished. The Judge must be able to reach an independent conclusion that probable cause exists based on the facts in the affidavit, and that the source of the facts is creditable. The Court ruled the affidavit failed both tests. First, the affidavit did not establish the source of #1’s information. Even if the description given fit that of Richard, the information did not establish that Richard was the burglar. #1s assertion that he participated was not backed up by any facts to show the truth of this claim, and it could have been mere rumor, or based solely on Richard’s general reputation. Second, although #1 was named, and had given a sworn statement, she could have been trying to deflect blame for the burglary from herself, since she had possession of the stolen property. The police were unable to corroborate her story that Ricky was the source of the stolen inspection stickers. Third, there was no information in the affidavit to establish that the paid informants were creditable. The Vermont and US constitutions forbid unreasonable searches and seizures. This case illustrates the precise reasoning and evidence that police must document in order to have a valid search. Rumor, unsupported hearsay statements, and the possibility that informants are trying to blame someone else for their crimes, will not pass muster. State v. Richard C. Chaplin 2012 VT 6 So on the one hand, Shumlin trumpets the signing of a bill that brings citizens into the system to the cheers of environmentalists. On the other hand, he’s looking for a bill that would squeeze many citizens out of the system to the disadvantage of environmentalists. It’s the kind of political dance designed to please both friend and foe alike, but historically is at least as likely to have the opposite effect and antagonize both. Currently, the “on the record appeals” provision is contained in Senate bill S.166 - introduced by Shumlin’s likely GOP opponent, Franklin Senator Randy Brock. Labor Pains A quick follow-up to last week’s column about the kerfuffle between Senate President Pro Tem John Campbell of Windsor County and the Vermont affiliate of the American Federation of Teachers. The two were in negotiations over a bill (which passed the House last year) which would enable child caregivers to form a nontraditional union to collectively bargain with the state over issues such as subsidies and regulations. Those negotiations broke down when Campbell accused the head of the AFT – Ben Johnson – of obliquely suggesting that union campaign contributions were at risk if Campbell did not give the bill a hearing (Campbell has not been favorably disposed towards the bill – if he were, it would’ve come up in the Senate last year as it did in the House). The AFT, naturally, disputes this account. At the time last week, Campbell had declared the bill dead, but hedged a bit when Governor Shumlin again voiced support for the bill during an AFT sponsored “lobby day” event which brought supportive child care workers to the Statehouse. What a difference a week makes. In an uncharacteristic (and uncharacteristically speedy) retreat, Campbell did not stand in the way of hearings on the Senate version of the bill. On February 17, the Senate Committee on Economic Development, Housing, and General Affairs heard testimony on the bill. This committee is chaired by GOP Senator Vince Illuzzi, who is known to be friendly to unions. He’s also known to be close to Campbell, so this clearly has gone forward with his OK. Campbell, who has been unmoved by the bill on its merits, likely was reminded by fellow Democrat Shumlin that the potential of as many as 8,000 new union members in Vermont wasn’t likely to hurt their party’s electoral prospects in November. D E V E L O P M E N T S I N V E R M O N T L A W TOWN MEETING MARCH 6 for Barre City School Board He will work hard for a VOTE Lester Felch ✔ VOTE Brighter For Our Future Children PAID FOR BY LESTER FELCH CAPITOL NOTEBOOK BY JOHN ODUM Last week, Governor Shumlin – flanked by representatives from the environmental community - signed into law H.258. The bill, introduced last session by way of the Agency of Natural Resources, is an effort to address the 2008 ruling by the Vermont Environmental Court on a case brought by the Conservation Law Foundation. The Court found that citizen landowners were given inadequate opportunity to be heard in a case involving a discharge into Lake Champlain by their neighbors. The ruling had significant implications for the state, since the lack of citizen participation put Vermont in conflict with the federal Clean Water Act. Before the roughly thirty people in the room, Shumlin proudly presented the law, which will inject a new standard of citizen participation into the process of enforcing environmental penalties. Say, for example, there’s a factory upriver of your property dumping pollutants into the river, and an ANR investigation finds a violation. Under the new law, you have thirty days to argue that the fine meted out by ANR is insufficient, and that fine could be adjusted at the Agency’s discretion. With citizen input brought into the penalty phase, Vermont is now in compliance with the Clean Water Act. To many of those in the room, however, Governor Shumlin seemed a bit unclear on the bill itself. In fact, he was unable to answer a fairly straightforward question on its impact by a Burlington Free Press reporter. That could be because, as some in the environmental community have suggested, H.258 is merely a “green check-off” bill for the Governor - a relatively low impact law that enables him to burnish his environmental cred with his base. And there may be a sort of policy symmetry supporting that point of view. Shumlin is also supportive of so-called “on the record appeals” during Act 250 District Commission hearings, and would like to sign a bill authorizing them. Basically, this would move a lot of the meticulous, legalistic and costly testimonials that you see in appeals to the Environmental Court into the local process. In other words, an Act 250 district-level process that many citizen groups complain is too legalistic and cumbersome for regular people to participate in will likely get even moreso – which will work to the advantage of larger development interests who come with more lawyers and have already put significant time and professional expertise into making their case. At the same time, with all the heavy testimony already on the record, the appeal process would be a lot faster. I am running for the select board for two years of a three year term. I was the lister for the town of Berlin for 26 years. I also have been a resident in the town for 33 years. I believe that the knowledge that I have of the town will be a benefit for the position.

Editor: My name is Jeffrey Friot, and I am running for Barre City’s Ward 2 Council seat. I want to take this opportunity to tell the residents of Ward 2 about myself and why I hope to earn their vote. I grew up in Barre City, graduated from Spaulding High School, and went on to earn undergraduate degrees from Vermont Technical College and a master’s from Norwich University. I served in the Vermont Army National Guard for nearly 10 years, with deployments to Iraq in 2004 through 2005, and to New Orleans for relief efforts after hurricane Katrina. My wife, Hollie, and I were married in 2007, and we have one daughter and another we’re expecting any day. I am also an avid hunter and fisherman. I’m running for city council because Barre is the place I call home. It’s where my wife and I decided to raise our family, and I want to play a part in making our city a better place to live and work. I want my daughters to have a sense of pride when they reflect on growing up here. I want them to feel safe walking down the street. I want this and more for Barre because I think we all deserve to live in a place that is affordable, safe and vibrant. Politically speaking, I am an Independent. I have always considered issues at hand in a non-partisan, common sense manner. Although my only political experience to date is as a voter, I do have the experience to be your city councilor. As a recognized leader in my military and civilian careers, and with a master’s in Organizational Leadership, I know how to get people working together to achieve common goals. As a professional sales engineer with SMC Corporation of America, one of my duties is to keep a keen eye on financials. Also, while in Iraq, I was awarded a Purple Heart for combat wounds, which is a testament to my willingness to sacrifice for a cause and for my country and neighbors. My priorities as your city councilor would be to keep local government accountable to taxpayers and to be a voice for citizens. I believe city budgets should be crafted carefully and responsibly – with an eye on economic prosperity and growth for Barre. I also recognize the importance of having a worthy return on the investment of taxpayer dollars. We need all of these efforts in order to bring back a quality of life that has been declining in Barre. I hope you will vote for me on March 6. Contact me at jeff.
[email protected] if you have any questions. Jeffrey Friot Barre Many of you know Pete as the former owner/operator of VT Lazerwash, Inc. and No. 1 Carwash. I know him as a great neighbor and friend and know that Pete would be an ideal addition to the Selectboard. He is committed to spending the time and attention to the critical issues we are facing in Town and is willing to go the extra mile to understanding the projects being worked on by our various Town committees to include planning, economic development, water, public safety, and conservation. I worked with Pete over the years on issues relating to the Knapp Airport and its potential economic benefit to Berlin and Central Vermont. From that experience and my numerous conversations with Pete, I know that he has a keen business sense and a respect for community. He understands the importance of having a safe, livable and affordable place in which to live and work. His common-sense approach to solving problems and his business experience will be just what the Town of Berlin needs to help lead us forward while protecting that which we love about our Town. Please Vote for Pete Kelley for Select Board March 6th. Pat McDonald Berlin Vote "YES" for Guerlain, Hollar; "NO" to Montpelier Option Tax Vote “Yes” For Pete Kelley – Berlin Select Board Editor: Tuesday, March 6th is Town Meeting Day – a day to decide and vote on key issues impacting each of us, our towns, our schools and our State. I encourage you to participate in the process – and VOTE! – it’s the best way I know to have your voices heard. And if you are a registered voter in Berlin, I would encourage you to Vote “Yes” for Pete Kelley for Select Board. Editor: Nancy Sherman is a wonderful woman who has performed tirelessly for the City of Montpelier for years. We are very grateful for her service. However, Nancy's time has come. Montpelier needs new blood, a non-partisan perspective and fresh energy. With Thierry Guerlain on City Council and John Hollar as our new mayor, currently running unopposed, we have a chance to change the way we do business and make some fiscally responsible decisions before it's too late. Without a change in the City government players, business will continue as usual, with just one lone wolf trying to be heard to make a difference for Montpelier's middle class citizens. If changes do not occur soon, the middle class will seek other places to live and businesses will seek other commercial venues that are affordable. Despite what uninformed citizens have claimed, Thierry is not a Tea Party voice. He has solid business acumen. Thierry has done his homework and understands the problems and politics of Montpelier. Best of all, he has the time, ability and desire to effect change. We need change, no question. We need a new approach to finances, and we need revised priorities. Too many of our City leaders have been wedded to projects like the Carr Lot and the District Heating Plant that go nowhere and make no practical fiscal sense. We have real issues to address like our lousy streets and too high taxes. We continually hear justifications from City Hall about why we can't fix the roads, why we blew it with Scott's Construction, why a local option tax is good, etc., etc. It is a dizzying merry-go-round of excuses. My wish for Montpelier is NEW LEADERS. New leaders who will make things change, stop spending money unnecessarily and frivolously, and once and for all address our infrastructure first and foremost, then move on to the amenities if there is money and a desire from our citizenry. Please vote for Guerlain and Hollar. Please oppose the option tax. Help save Montpelier now!

But you know, toilet paper is something that comes to mind a number of times a day, and this is my issue with it. Recently, I had to go down to the Cape to see my eye doctor and see how my eye is coming along. And no, it hasn’t repaired itself yet. But I do have high hopes! Anyway, it was then that the toilet tissue issue leapt to the center of my thoughts. I had to go to the restroom at a local restaurant, where I was having breakfast with Cape friends. After using the restroom, I had to pick at the toilet paper receptacle and what I was able to pry off was just awful. This tissue was so thin and narrow it looked like a ribbon and more than that, it was so thin that you could probably read through it. And I am not exaggerating. Now, if the people who own the restaurant are trying to save money by having such terrible toilet paper, they are making a big mistake. Because no one, no one in the world would be able to use just a couple of sheets. Oh, no, in order to use what you need, (or I need) you have to use a lot of paper. So, where is the savings? And it was then that I decided to make toilet tissue (paper) an opportunity for me to see just what is happening in this world. Every restaurant and public restroom that I could find, I went in and checked out their toilet paper offering. In some places I found pleasant-to-use paper and in others I found something akin to sandpaper! What is most interesting is it is not always the quality of the business which decides the quality of their offering. And I do think that it is a topic that should be shared with whoever is in charge. Lousy toilet paper does not a happy customer make! I would suggest that whoever is in charge should go into the restroom and check out their paper. Really awful paper is easily identifiable so perhaps you (or I) can be responsible for change. Reiss’s Pieces O By Judy Reiss YOUR DEGREE ONLINE AND ON CAMPUS YOUR WAY Medical Business Paralegal** Criminal Justice* www.go.myhesser.com But I must admit that toilet paper, tissue or whatever you want to call it, is also different in many different homes! Personally, I can’t understand why it is necessary to spend a lot of money to buy thick, wide, and amazingly comfortable toilet paper. But on the other hand, I don’t think that a happy family or friends can sustain themselves with some paper that could be used as tissue in a gift box either. I believe that somewhere in between is a good place to go. If you are a toilet paper connoisseur like I am, then you will be sure to shop and shop wisely. And the one thing that you should remember is this, cheap, tawdry toilet paper is no bargain because you will have to use twice or even three times the amount that you would use with a nice substantial brand. Keep in mind, what neither of us wants is to have your toilet paper tip and dissolve when you are using it! Plus, no one wants to be able to write on his or her toilet paper… unless of course, you are being held prisoner somewhere and have to write a note so you can be rescued! I do think that it is interesting to note that all toilet paper seems to be getting narrower. Why, I don’t know, unless it is to allow the tissue manufacturer to make more money. So, here is my suggestion; try a few different brands and figure out which one is the most affordable while being the most user-friendly for your family. And if you can’t decide, try a package of baby wipes, which are not a bad alterative. The Reiss family, after 50 years of using Scott Tissue in the bathroom, found it too expensive and no longer the quality that I enjoy. So we have switched to Kirkland tissue from Cosco and find that it is a lot cheaper and more user-friendly than Scotts. I also keep a box of baby wipes on the back of the toilet and it is being used when a wad of regular tissue just won’t do! I am considering carrying a small box of baby wipes in my purse, just in case whatever is offered is just not suitable for an old lady of my age and sensibilities.!

Childs Brian O’Meara George Wild, Jr. Senate Report: n n n eorge Aiken had a distinguished career and left a notable legacy, not only in the U.S. Senate, but also in the Vermont legislature, as lieutenant governor, and two-term governor. According to Michael Sherman and Gene Sessions in their History of Vermont, Aiken had “significantly influenced state development in such areas as land use planning, energy and rural electrification, agricultural organization, and labor relations. In displaying unparalleled vote-getting skills, he established a model of independent politics that continues to be influential through the end of the century.” Aiken shrewdly rejected the philosophy of the New Deal while accepting the money and benefits provided by many of its programs. He supported Social Security and recreation and conservation programs, and as United States senator, was the architect of the current Food Stamp program, which he saw as a way to help both the poor get food and farmers to sell it. Aiken did not oppose New Deal reforms simply because they were proposed by Democrats. But he did not like the way the federal government had become the dominant power in people’s lives. In his book, “Speaking from Vermont,” written in 1938, Aiken termed the New Deal a “tragedy.” He wrote: “Helping folks in their own homes, in their own localities, in a quiet and unobtrusive way, has been exchanged for a nationwide ballyhooed machine with its propaganda agents, its circus postern, and high-pressure advertising methods.” After the 1936 election, one Vermont newspaper said that the nation “follows strange gods” and recommended that the national government “run excursions from the rest of the country into Vermont to show what a Republican looks like.” G George Aiken: Senator and Governor by Senator Bill Doyle As one of only four Republicans who were elected governors in the Democratic landslide of 1936, Aiken was thrown into the national spotlight. He had attacked the New Deal as “that visible and invisible government in Washington whose thoughts and actions are so alien to the free-thinking people of Vermont and of the nation.” He said the Roosevelt administration was an attempt “for more and more control of all of us and our possessions and resources, public and private.” That was the kind of rhetoric the Republicans liked to hear. His attacks on the New Deal’s attempt to control hydropower rights in Vermont gave him a stage from which to rally the Republicans. He did not, however, see the New Deal as the sole cause for Republican problems. In December 1937, Aiken, in an attempt to rejuvenate the Republican party and broaden its appeal, suggested to the Republican National Committee that the party “reject decisively the use of enormous expenditures and special benefits as a political expedient for attracting agriculture, industrial groups, and other workers to our Party. We can never outbid our opponents and we should be ashamed to try... Instead of offering a place at the feedtroughs, invite.. the nation... to work together to produce... a larger volume of goods and services for more people of this nation. Emphasize what we can give and do - not what we can get.” Toward the end of 1937, Vermonter Leo Casey, publicity director of the Republican National Committee, organized an Aiken presidential campaign. The high point was a nationally broadcast speech to the National Republican Club’s 1938 Lincoln Day Dinner in New York City. True to his candid style, Aiken began his radio address with a bombshell: “The greatest praise I can give Lincoln... is to say he would be ashamed of his party’s leadership continued on page 15 If your child is 3 or 4 years old (3 years old as of September 1, 2012), then your child is eligible to participate. 2012-2013 pre-kindergarten registration packets are available at your local elementary school.

[email protected] George Aiken continued from page 13 n n n today.” The speech was reported favorably in Newsweek and The Christian Science Monitor, but Aiken’s bid got nowhere. Wendell Wilkie won the Republican nomination, but then lost to a Roosevelt in 1940 when the popular president ran for a third term. In many ways, George Aiken typified the Republican rule that had held sway in Vermont for a century. He was able to appeal to a wide range of Vermonters because of his strong, native ties to the state - his solid base of political support built over a number of years of service to the state - and his down-to-earth style. Aiken served six consecutive terms in the United States Senate. When he finally retired in 1975, he was one of the most respected men in the Senate. He was the ranking Republican on the Agriculture and Foreign Relations committees. One of his greatest achievements was his fight for the St. Lawrence Seaway and its related power project, which brought to Vermont cheap hydroelectricity. Aiken’s popularity was so great that he claimed he never had to ask for a vote. “Get into the community and find out what the problems are. That’s the best politics,” he said. When Aiken retired at 82, he said he would miss his friends in the capital, but not Washington. “I’ve never been at home in Washington... Home’s up on the mountains in Vermont where I always lived.” To Putney, and his orchards and wildflowers, he returned.

Risk Free Trial Membership 100 No. Main St. Barre, VT 479-5300 Gifford Medical Center’s nursing home, the Menig Extended Care Facility in Randolph, has been named among the nation’s 39 best nursing homes. U.S. News and World Report last Tuesday released a list of its “2012 Honor Roll” nursing homes. The 39 listed were the only ones out of more than 15,500 reviewed nationally to receive four straight quarters of perfect five-star ratings from the federal Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services in all three areas that CMS evaluates - health inspections, nurse staffing and quality of care. Menig, repeatedly recognized in Vermont with quality awards and included among the U.S. News and World Reports “2011 Best Nursing Homes” listing, is the only Vermont nursing home on the 2012 top 39 “Honor Roll” listing. “This is an amazing recognition of the work our nursing and support staff do to provide the highest standard of care for our residents, a remarkably clean and well-maintained facility and a loving home,” Menig Director of Nursing Cindy Richardson said. “We had no idea this recognition was coming, or that it even existed, and are so thrilled that work like ours - to provide the best care possible to our most vulnerable seniors - is receiving notice nationally.” Menig was constructed in 1998 to help meet the community’s need for nursing home care following the closure of larger, 53-bed Tranquility Nursing Home in Randolph. Part of non-profit Gifford, the nursing home initially had 20 beds but grew to 30 beds with an addition that opened in 2006. The only nursing home in Orange County, Menig consistently has a waiting list of 120 people hoping for local nursing home care. Gifford is currently seeking permits to build a senior living community on 25.6 acres of land it owns in Randolph Center. The project would provide area adults and seniors more housing and care options, including independent and assisted living, and build on the success of Menig. Menig has previously been awarded seven Menig Named Among Nation’s Top 39 Best Nursing Homes Registered nurse Nicole Hutson poses with Menig Extended Care Facility resident Gloria Tatro, who has lived at Menig since it opened in 1998. Menig’s high quality of care has now been recognized by the U.S. News and World Report. consecutive Nursing Home Quality recognitions from the Vermont Department of Disabilities, Aging and Independent Living (DAIL) and Gold Star Employer awards from DAIL and the Vermont Health Care Association. The nursing home has also repeatedly been recognized with Excellence in Action awards from My InnerView, a national organization that surveys families of residents regarding their satisfaction. “All of these awards, and certainly this new 2012 Honor Roll recognition, validate the work that we do and demonstrate to the community what an outstanding facility and caregivers we have at Menig,” Linda Minsinger, nursing home administrator and Gifford vice president of patient care services, says. “As we look at our amazing community and both the public and private services available here, this is another reason to hold our heads up high. This community is doing its best to provide for its seniors, and that is truly special.” T H A N K Y O U F O R S AY I N G I S AW I T I N W O R L D page 16 The WORLD ➤ Do you have questions about Medicare?

In past FKH, I’ve written about the inseam differential and how you can buy petites if you are height-challenged, or the regular length pant. Now there is a third length that some of the manufacturers are producing: the ‘short’ length. The short length is an inseam that is longer than the petite length and shorter than the regular length. In the Tribal line, you can find all three lengths (in some styles) and all three waist rises. So now there is definitely a fit for all body shapes. Eureka!

Cash Rewards Possible. By Amanda Colón: Central Vermont New Direction Coalition The facts speak for themselves: Tobacco ads do increase the number of underage smokers. The tobacco industry spends approximately $27.4 million on marketing in Vermont each year and youth are three times more susceptible to this type of advertising than adults. Alcohol advertising and marketing also have a significant impact on young people’s decision to drink. Greater exposure to alcohol advertising contributes to an increase in drinking among underage youth. Our Healthy Retailer for the month of February is Dudley’s, in East Montpelier. Dudley’s was chosen as a retailer who has made some good choices around advertising and signage for tobacco and alcohol. As I toured the store with Kathy, one of the friendly young women who work at Dudley’s, I noticed that the cigarettes over the main counter were covered from the public eye. I was very impressed by this because this means that young people shopping at Dudley’s are less likely to be exposed to a rack of cigarettes and cigarette advertising. Dudley’s also has very little promotional material for tobacco products, another reason Dudley’s is on our list of Healthy Retailers. In addition to not having very much promotional material for cigarettes, Kathy showed me that the beer coolers didn’t have promotional stickers or signs on them either. Instead they had warnings to anyone underage who attempts to purchase alcohol products in the store. Without all the signs for Michelob, Bud, and Coors all over the doors of the coolers, I could see that the message is clear, Dudley’s “Would card their own mother.” But these aren’t the only reasons Dudley’s is February’s featured Healthy Retailer. The more we promote healthy choices, the more people will make the decision to buy healthy alternatives. Dudley’s offers its customers so many healthy alternatives for snacks, a quick lunch, or a hearty meal for the family. Kathy showed me all the ways customers can purchase a healthy snack with their racks of nuts, yogurt, whole grain crackers, and fresh fruits. They have made-to-order sandwiches with fresh meats and cheeses. Add some tomatoes and lettuce and a bag of their baked chips and you have a well-balanced lunch. February Retailer: Dudley’s Healthy Retailers Finally, Dudley’s had all the fixin’s for a taco dinner, hamburgers on locally made La Panciata breads, and a variety of frozen low salt vegetables to choose from. And don’t forget to look for the Healthy Retailers signs hanging all over the store. They’ll direct you to some great food choices. Thanks to Dudley’s for agreeing to be our February Healthy Retailer. Read about all our Healthy Retailers each month and the changes they make in order to support healthy communities. Making the most of your breakfast may be one of the best things you do all day. “Research shows that people who make smart choices at breakfast are more likely to make smart choices throughout the day, and have healthier diets overall,” says Wendy Bazilian, DrPH, MA, RD and author of The SuperFoodsRxDiet. A smart breakfast choice starts with the addition of spices and herbs, which are a delicious source of natural antioxidants. For example, just a half-teaspoon of ground cinnamon has more antioxidants than three and a half cups of fresh spinach. To inspire healthier breakfasts whenever or wherever you’re eating, the McCormick Kitchens have created easy tips to wake up your morning meal with spices and herbs, and add an antioxidant bonus. Wake Up Breakfast with Flavor and Antioxidants ■ ■ ■ At Home - Weekday: THE "UNCLE MIKE'S FAMILY" * Toast & Spread: Spread this on your morning toast instead of sugary jams and jellies. Mix 1 package (8 ounces) NeufchΓtel cheese (1/3 less fat than cream cheese), softened, 2 tablespoons honey and 1/2 teaspoon McCormick Ground Cinnamon until well blended.

The Los Angeles Times dubbed McMahon “one of the brightest new stars of literary suspense.” Her novels have been called, variously, spine shivering, enthralling, haunting and unflinching by such luminaries as Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants, and Keith Donahue, author of the Stolen Child. McMahon has also been on the New York Times and USA Today Bestseller Lists. A Connecticut native, McMahon has looped in and out of Vermont over the years. She received a BA from Goddard College in Plainfield, and later studied poetry in the MFA program at Vermont College. There, one of her poems morphed into a story, which she went on to expand into her first novel. She currently resides in Montpelier where she sometimes seeks out a quiet corner at the Kellogg-Hubbard library to get work done on her next novel. The reading is free and open to the public. There will not be books provided for sale at the reading, but the author would be happy to sign any copies brought to the event. She suggests you purchase them at your local independent book seller. The Blinking Light Gallery is a fine art and fun gift shop located at 16 Main St. just off Route 2 in the village of Plainfield, Vermont.

On view through this Saturday, February 25th, the exhibit includes more than 35 works that demonstrate the artist’s confidence with a variety of media, including wax, oil, Chinese papers, textured fibers and twigs, and hand dyed silk. According to Neale, “Color is an emotional response to my world and wonderings … For the past six years, I have been enchanted with layering fibers, whether paper or cloth, onto a canvas surface with wax and letting these forms begin my dance with paint.” Neale is one of the founding artists of SPA and occupies a studio in the art center. Her imaginative exhibit is one of three on display at SPA. Exhibits at SPA are free of charge. For more information, go to www.studioplacearts.com Twin Valley Senior Center.

Partnering with news photographer Jeb Wallace Brodeur, the Barn Band recorded the song to accompany Brodeur’s photographic collage of Irene damage and recovery efforts. The YouTube video has now helped raise thousands of dollars for recovery efforts. On February 22, the Barn Band will play at Farmer’s Night at the Vermont Statehouse.

The show is open to students in grades 1 - 12 from Central Vermont and Upper Valley schools and to homeschool families. Preparation for auditions is necessary and preregistration is required by February 29. Auditions will be held on Sunday afternoon, March 4. Rehearsals start on June 18, with performances on July 5, 6, 7 & 8. Auditions are also planned for the 18th annual "Mud Season Variety Show" on Tuesday and Wednesday, March 6 and 7. People of all ages are welcome to participate! Performers are asked to audition the piece they plan to use in the show, to be well prepared and to keep acts to within three minutes. A variety of acts will be chosen. The performance is scheduled for Saturday April 21 at 7:30pm. A dose of humor will be added to the show this year with a host of emcees. Please sign-up for an audition time by March 4. Both productions are important fundraisers for Chandler and draw participants and audiences from many surrounding communities. Proceeds from these events provide important support for a variety of performances and events held at Chandler throughout the year.

Not by being separate from it, but by being part of it. The Artist In the early 1910s, the American motion picture industry moved from New York to Los Angeles. In just a few years, the entire civilized world had become addicted to Hollywood cinema. The silent films of the 1920s captured the public imagination in a way that modern talkies can’t. Silent films had timeless themes, simple characters, and broad comedy that every person of every age could appreciate. And because there was no dialogue, people from every country could enjoy the movies in the same way – without subtitles. Silent movies had undeniable universal appeal, but the medium limited the filmmakers’ freedom of expression. The introduction of sound opened up a world of new possibilities and allowed directors to explore more complex subject matter. Adding sound to cinema transformed it into a vibrant, exciting art form. Just as clearly as radio is inferior to television, silent films are inherently inferior to modern movies. But as inferior films go, “The Artist” is as good as it gets. “The Artist” is not about an artist. It tells the mostly sad story of fictional silent movie star George Valentin. When we meet him, George is a beloved celebrity who makes all the ladies IMPORTS & swoon. Lucky for him, the lady who likes him the most is the MICROBREWS irrepressible Peppy Miller. George gives herSamrole in one ofCorona, a Adams, Long Trail, his Heineken, Shipyard movies and earns her eternal gratitude. 12-pks HHH1/2 This free community paper is a vital force in our community.

Insert Your Logo Here Free Papers SHARGIO TUBES Working For You $1399** And he is going to need it. When his studio starts making talking pictures, George is like a great typewriter salesman after the first Macintosh computer was released. “I’m not worried. This new technology is just a fad…. uh, oh.” George loses his career, his house, and his wife. The situation gets seriously grim (“The Artist” didn’t earn a PG-13 rating due to foul language, obviously). George pawns his clothing to buy booze and then drinks it alone in his studio apartment. As his life spirals downward, Peppy becomes a rising star. She continually reaches out to try to save her downtrodden mentor, but George stubbornly refuses her help. “The Artist” is a simple but powerful parable about the sin of pride. When the whims of fortune turn against a man, he needs to get humble or get burned. George foolishly lets his life disintegrate because he refuses to learn humility. Lead actor Jean DuJardin is going to win the Best Actor Oscar, and he deserves it. His warm, expressive Gallic face basically carries the movie and keeps the audience entertained. “The Artist” also should be the front-runner in the races for Best Cinematography and Best Costume Design. If nothing else, the movie is great to look at. There were several films released in 2011 that are better than “The Artist,” including “The Ides of March,” “Beginners,” “Win Win,” and “Rise of the Planet of the Apes.” But “The Artist” is going to win Best Picture and I can accept that.

[email protected] Discount Prices! continued on page 35 Is Sick Cat Doomed to Live Alone? DEAR PAW’S CORNER: We adopted a kitten, “Charly,” a little more than a year ago, and she tested positive for feline leukemia. Our vet prescribed a medicine and she has been fine. She is an indoor cat. Now a new kitten has found its way into our yard, and we have fed it. She will not come to us, but she and our cat play through the window. We were told our cat should not be around any other cats, as she could give them the disease. If the new kitten comes to us and receives the shot that protects against feline leukemia, would it be possible for the two cats to cohabitate? -- Amy V., via email DEAR AMY: There is a possibility that both cats can eventually live together; however, if or when the stray kitten trusts you enough to come to you, you will need to keep her isolated from Charly for a little while longer. First, the new kitten will need to undergo tests by the veterinarian for both feline leukemia (FeLV) and feline immunodeficiency virus (FIV), as well as for other illnesses and parasites like worms and fleas. She’ll need to be spayed and receive her required vaccinations. Second, kittens are at higher risk to contract FeLV, so she’ll need to be housed separately from Charly until she reaches six months to a year in age. Both should receive twice yearly checkups and their immunizations kept up to date. Charly and the new cat may not mesh indoors as well as they do at the window. If they fight at all, they’ll need to be kept separated, so introduce them to each other very carefully. Also, the new cat mighht never adjust to the indoors. Be prepared for that, and at least get her spayed and vaccinated to protect her and the neighboring cat population. Send your questions or tips to

If you treated wooden-handled tools with linseed oil or other wood treatment and hung them up over the winter, take those tools down now and wipe away excess oil and check for water damage or other problems. Make sure that hinged parts move smoothly and are free of corrosion and dirt. Then, place the tools in an easily accessible place, ready to grab when you need them. Lawnmowers and other equipment also need to be readied for the growing season, even though it may be awhile before they’re needed. Take the lawnmower out of the garage or shed to a wellventilated area. Check the blades to make sure they’re free of rust and corrosion; if you detached the blades for storage, reattach now. Turn the mower upright and, with the spark plug disconnected and the fuel tank empty, give the starter cord a few pulls. Next, connect the spark plug and fill the tank with the proper fuel-oil mixture (see the manufacturer’s manual for details). Start the mower and allow it to run for a minute or two. Then, shut it down and store it upright in an easily accessible place, ready to use. Do the same with other outdoor equipment over the next couple of weekends. Not only will you know that your tools are ready when the weather is, but you’ll be able to repair any damaged tools or equipment before they’re needed. HOME TIP: Keep tools dry and accessible by installing a pegboard with adjustable hooks on one wall of the garage, shed or workspace. Send your questions or tips to

NOW HERE’S A TIP By JoAnn Derson • “Revive the look of indoor plants by rubbing the leaves with mineral oil on a soft cloth. Just wipe nicely, and you’ll see a big difference.

IT'S A BEAUTY! • Lime juice and vinegar both make good meat tenderizers. You can purchase tougher cuts of meat, season with spices and lime/ vinegar, and marinate for 10 to 15 minutes before cooking. It is a great way to ease your meat budget. Steaks are getting expensive! • “To make onion rings easier to cut (less stinging to the eyes) and have the layers separate better, I put my onions in the freezer for about 10 minutes before peeling. They don’t freeze, but they do get nice and cold.” -- O.F. in Florida • Looking for a more natural way to clean? Here’s one for the bathroom: Clean chrome with baking soda on a soft, damp cloth. Follow up with vinegar for some shine. Spray lightly and wipe away with a clean cloth. • “Men, make your own aftershave. Thin a bottle of baby lotion with a little rubbing alcohol. Put in a hand-lotion bottle, and use half a squirt. No sting, and soft, smooth skin.” -- T.G. in Illinois • Add a single teaspoon of rice to the saltshaker in order to keep too many grains from coming out at a time.

Sugaring season is now officially underway and portions of last week have behaved much more like mid March than mid February. The Arctic Oscillation has shifted positive with the polar vortex strengthening, much like what we have seen most of the winter season over December and January. Thus, Vermont’s weather behavior was back to limited snowfall, occasional warm intrusions, meaning ice and rain, and mild afternoons with cool nights. Sounds and feels more like March and sugaring season, eh? South facing valley elevation Sugarbush have already had some sap runs, with reportedly about 10 to 15% boiling their first batch, we were gliding into what was looking more and more like an early spring. Last week and so far this month of February has been bone arid dry. The most precipitation in the state was just two tenths of an inch melted atop Mount Mansfield ending last Friday morning. A maximum snowfall of 1.9 inches occurred at Greensboro. Though the winter thus far has been extremely thin for snow, it was not bad at various lower elevations lakes and ponds for good ice skating. At Curtis Pond in Maple Corners-Calais last weekend, the ice 14” thick. However, in some of the higher elevation Beaver ponds for example, ice was thin to nonexistent with powdery snow above and below a crust it was easy to fall through so please use caution if out in the back country of the higher Vermont mountains. Vermont Weather Stats last week ending Monday morning Feb 13th Highest temperature: 49 degrees at Sunderland Friday the 17th Lowest temperature: -1 degrees at Gallup Mills Monday morning the 20th Heaviest 24 hour precip: .20 Mount Mansfield ending Friday afternoon the 17th Heaviest Snowfall: 1.9 Greensboro ending Friday morning the 17th Most Snow Depth: 48” Mount Mansfield at the stake last Sunday afternoon the 19th Global Weather Facts For Last Week Last week’s hottest temperature on planet earth was 113, Mardie, Western Australia. Last week’s coldest temperature: minus 54 back in Antarctica’s Vostok Research station. CO2 Readings – and RDS (Reality Detachment Syndrome) The global concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide continued to steadily climb during 2011, despite pledges by some countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Basically, it is still business as usual and accelerating. January 2012 Carbon Dioxide level (CO2) at 393.09 Compared to previous January 2011, it is up from 391.19. That was a 1.90 increase in parts per million from the previous January. “Reality Detachment Syndrome” continues at an all time high, roughly 9 out of 10 across the U.S. and about 7 out of 10 for the rest of the world at large. RDS is a measurement of inaction of political leadership and cowardice. We’ll keep you posted right here on any changing trends. What Goes Around, Comes Around…Strategy of Attacks on Climate Science Documents illegally leaked from the Heartland Institute, one of the most active groups engaged in attacking the science of climate change has exposed how these groups operate. More recently, donors to the Heartland Institute show corporate funding and a money trail about “climate change science denial” based on an illegitimate science campaign meant to muddy the waters and seed doubts. Heartland has spent “several million dollars over the past five years” to undermine climate science, and by some opinion polls, it has been working. Naturally, the leaked documents have lit up the blogosphere, but none of the revelations are particularly surprising. The U.S. and now Canada have a very successful and well-funded climate change denial industry, primarily funded by fossil fuel companies, that have spent hundreds of millions of dollars over the past few decades on a PR campaign. There are legitimate probing scientist’s trying to poke holes in the anthropogenic global warming, and this is good science. But, the manufactured doubt industry is well funded and now has been exposed. More can be gleaned at getenergysmartnow.com which has compiled a long list of blogs. This latest dust up at DeSmogBlog. com has also shed some illumination for those interested. Extreme Heat for Mid Century Summers even in Vermont… Assuming it will remain business as usual in terms of greenhouse gas emissions, episodes of extreme summertime heat will actually be the norm by mid-century across all of the Lower 48 states, according to new research from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. The research team compared temperature data from 1975-2000 with similar data from 1950-1974 and determined that these observations along with results from running 16 climate models shows that episodes of extreme summertime heat that was once rare, will occur in more than 50% of summers by mid-century. Statistical analysis shows rare summertime temperatures from 1975-2000 are very unlikely to have occurred through “chance weather variations, such as El Nino or La Nina and were linked to general background climate warming. By mid-century, extreme summertime temperatures are expected to occur in at least 70% of the summers in the lower 48, compared to the historical average that is closer to 5%. Weather Trends Ahead…Not Especially Pretty…Par for the Course… Off and on gray weather begins today (Wednesday) along with another warm intrusion and a series of quick moving weather systems to keep things unsettled this Wednesday through Friday period. Precipitation will likely start out as mostly snow but gradually changeover to mostly rain on Friday. Temperatures during this period will gradually warm with highs mostly in the 30s to near 40. Sugarer’s should seek out another sap run or two or three. The strongest weather system this week will have some decent jet stream energy and it could be rather blustery with the warmest weather Friday getting the zap due to an impressive cold front late in the day Friday. Sharply falling temperatures and gusty winds will aid the formations of snow squalls late Friday or Friday Night which could affect the evening commute Friday. Thereafter, “colder but also drier weather moves in” for the colder part of this temperature Oscillation. Most of the weekend looks chilly but benign. The pattern of this week appears to repeat next week. Check out Weathering Heights on Facebook… In the town of Worcester, about 1400 ft, we had just 5” of snow depth last Saturday the 12th. At 2000 ft. elevation, 27 inches of snow depth on the level with 5.1 inches of total “snow water equivalent”. At 2800 ft., 34 inch snow depth was measured, with snow water equivalent of 6.6 inches of stored water. Higher up near 3000 ft elevation areas wind packed revealed about 20” snow depth and about 5.1 inches of stored water. Thus in the high terrain well above the intermediate hills, the mountains DO HAVE quite a bit of snow. BE IN YOUR NEW HOME BEFORE SPRING!
