Nolan was planning the things he will teach her like saying
cheese for the camera and how to use the telephone which
he pantomimed for us. Mom and Dads delight was unmistakable,

Former VT Secretary of Agriculture
Roger Allbee Joins VTC as Senior
Scholar in Residence
Vermont Technical College President
Philip A. Conroy has announced that for-
mer Vermont Secretary of Agriculture, Food
and Markets, Roger N. Allbee, has been
named consultant and advisor to the
President and the College. In this position,
Allbee will assist in helping the Institution
position itself to address the technical and
applied knowledge skills important to stu-
dents interested in agriculture and related
food systems.
Were excited that Roger will be putting his expertise to work
at Vermont Tech, said Dr. Conroy. One of the colleges areas of
growth is diversified agriculture; with Rogers broad and deep
interest in the field, hes well equipped to help VTC respond to
new developments in the industry.
Vermont is experiencing a renaissance of interest in agriculture
and local food systems from vegetables to vineyards, artisan
cheeses and farm-raised beef, said Allbee. The states higher
education system must be supportive of those things, teaching
students about the cultural, economic and environmental issues
involved in managing these businesses. As the only technical col-
lege chartered in the state of Vermont, Vermont Tech is best suited
to build upon its strengths while collaborating with other state col-
leges as well as the States Land Grant, the University of
Vermont.
Allbees career in agriculture includes a stint as executive direc-
tor of the USDA Farm Services Agency for the State of Vermont
and a long-time consultant in agribusiness and international trade.
He co-founded AGTECH, an agricultural trade and export concern
that was the first U.S. company to market cranberries and cran-
berry products in Hungary and the Czech Republic. As secretary
of agriculture, Allbee administered one of the agencies with the
most diverse and publicly watched responsibilities in the State of
Vermont. Under his leadership, the agency oversaw animal health
and welfare; agricultural development, weights and measures;
water quality and nutrient management; invasive and exotic pests
and pesticide certification; seed, feed, and fertilizer testing; milk
and meat processing inspection/certification and food safety; and
international trade and policy.
Allbee resides in Townshend, Vermont.

Daniel Antonovich
By Tom Herzig
E
ast Montpelier landowner Daniel Antonovich has retained his
vision of marketing the spring water that emanates from his
property on North Street, but his emerging business plan no longer
includes a possible new water system for the village.
That proposal, which included the potential purchase of the
Crystal Springs Water System from owner Dean Hedges, was met
with no small amount of skepticism when it was put forth by
Antonovich spokesman Dean Loren in a public Planning
Commission meeting and a subsequent follow-up informational
session.
Loren, no stranger to controversy as an investigative reporter
with Manhattan Neighborhood Network public access television,
suggested that the project could offer East Montpeliers fire
department water to ensure sufficient supply for future needs. It
was a point of view Fire Chief John Audy interpreted as not perti-
nent.
Were not anti-business in East Montpelier, but dont put a
twist of public safety on it, Audy said later.
Loren spoke of plans to develop a farmstead that would grow
and process grains, herbs and vegetables and create employment
opportunities. When Antonovich later specified that bottling water
was his primary focus, it gave the appearance that he and Loren
werent on the same page.
I thought the purchase of Crystal Springs and a pipeline
upgrade would be a positive thing, but it isnt an essential aspect
of bringing quality bottled water products to market, which is my
primary goal, Antonovich said. Ive decided to just let that idea
go and to put my energy into the creation of a vibrant company.
He added that Loren is no longer involved in pursuing the Crystal
Springs component.
The Antonovich Spring was formerly known as Montpelier
Springs. Earlier, it was called the Davis Spring in reference to
Revolutionary War hero Col. Jacob Davis - who discovered it in
1790. The spring was first developed by J. R. Langdon. It was
Montpeliers primary source of drinking water through the early
1900s. This source has never been chlorinated, Antonovich
stressed.
Antonovich has consulted with Jack Maguire, the former North
American C.E.O. of Evian Spring Water, who later took over the
helm of Vermont Pure Co. in Randolph. Maguire deemed the
Antonovich spring world-class. When plans of future use of the
spring as a bottling source first surfaced in 2007, East Montpelier
residents responded by passing a three-year moratorium on with-
drawals of more than 10,000 gallons at the 2008 town meeting.
Maguire said that the springs constant flow of 500 gallons per
minute, constant temperature (46 degrees F) and great mineral
content that never varies, were its exceptional attributes.
All the rock fractures from the Killington Basin to Camels
Hump to the Worcester Mountain Range come to a confluence
here within a few acres, Antonovich said of the property which
abuts the Sparrow Farm Land Trust. The water erupts on its own
volition.
Ive had a love affair with Vermont since I was a child,
Antonovich said. Im a Seventh-day Adventist who was brought
up in the holistic tradition of the Kelloggs, C.W. Post and soyfoods
pioneer Dr. Harry Miller, the China Doctor. I have a commitment
for health care and wellness. I believe in the mental, spiritual,
physical triad of values. I believe that what we put in our bodies
directly impacts the way we feel.
The East Montpelier spring is not foreseen as the only, or neces-
sarily the primary, source Antonovich intends to rely upon. He has
a verbal agreement in place with
Ron Colton, owner of Pristine
Mountain Springs in
Stockbridge.
Colton confirmed that the
Stockbridge source is available.
Weve been communicating
about his plans, Colton said.
The original building at the
site was washed away by flood-
ing during Irene. I had to rebuild,
but it is operational now.
Plans call for an incremental
roll-out of products positioned
to succeed in the top tier of the
health-oriented beverage mar-
ket. Antonovich refers to one
product grouping as functional
beverages. The caps of the
compostable bottles will have
sealed compartments containing FDA-approved proprietary
freeze-dried powder blends of herbs and/or dietary supplements.
Depressing the plunger on top of the cap will release the ingredi-
ents into the beverage. Infused and enhanced herbal teas are also
on the drawing board.
We intend to partner with native American herbalists to market
traditional, effective, health and wellness therapies, Antonovich
said. The waters mineral content will enhance the ingredients of
the formulations.
Ray Halbritter, the Nation Representative of the Oneida Indian
Nation, is a member of Antonovichs board of directors. I believe
in what Daniel is trying to do and Im committed to helping him
create products beneficial to the community, he said. There are
herbs and plants indigenous to upstate New York that have been a
part of the Oneida Nation way of life for generations. How to use
them for wellness and health has been passed down from grand-
mother to granddaughter and grandfather to grandson since time
immemorial.
Others serving on the board of directors include former Vermont
Secretary of Agriculture Stephen Kerr, Burr Morse - owner and
operator of Morse Farm Maple Sugarworks, and Tom Brazier, a
former East Montpelier Selectboard member, fourth generation
dairy farmer and business consultant.
To date, according to East Montpelier Zoning Administrator
Dina Bookmyer-Baker and Rodney Pingree of the Vermont
Department of Environmental Conservation Water Resources
Division, no permit applications have been filed.
If and when Mr. Antonovich submits an application, it will be
the Development Review Board who reviews it at a warned public
hearing, Bookmyer-Baker said.
We are proceeding with financial and marketing plans, but we
dont have a specific timetable
presently, Antonovich said.
Im approaching the project
with the utmost respect for this
phenomenal, pristine, unprece-
dented natural resource. Much of
the bottled water sold today
doesnt come from a free-flow-
ing pristine source. Its either
pumped out of the ground or is
simply treated tap water.

Barre Rotary Learns About City Place Plans;
Public Presentation This Week
Barre Democrats to Sponsor Forum on Tax Reform
Nominate an Outstanding Business for Deane C. Davis Award
All are invited to a public forum on tax reform sponsored by the
Greater Barre Democrats on Thursday, January 26th, 6-7:45pm at
the Aldrich Public Library, 6 Washington St., Barre. Featured
speakers will include state Senator Ann Cummings, Representative
Janet Ancel, and Mary Peterson, Commissioner of the VT
Department of Taxes. After their remarks, a question and answer
session will be moderated by Tommy Walz.
Walz noted that this is a particularly timely session, suggested
by Barre Representative Paul Poirier. In 2011, a Blue Ribbon Tax
Structure Commission submitted a report to the legislature (www.
vermonttaxreform.org), and this month, a report on Vermonts
school funding system, known as the Picus Report (www.leg.
state.vt.us/jfo), was submitted to the legislature.
Cummings, the former Mayor of Montpelier, is chair of the
Senate Finance Committee, and Ancel, a former state tax commis-
sioner, is chair of the House Ways and Means Committee. Both
committees deal with the revenue side of the state budget.
Commissioner Peterson will present the administrative side of that
budget.
This is the second public forum to be sponsored by the Greater
Barre Democrats. The group held a Health Care Update in
November and plans a Legislative Update on March 22.
The Greater Barre Democrats is a combined effort of the Barre
City and Barre Town committees. For more information about
these events, contact Marianne Kotch, 476-4185, or Leslie Walz,
476-7819.
In an effort to recognize and honor Vermonts best companies,
the Vermont Chamber of Commerce and Vermont Business
Magazine created the Deane C. Davis Outstanding Business of the
Year Award in 1990. Named for the former Governor of Vermont,
this annual award honors a Vermont business that shows an out-
standing history of sustained growth while displaying an acute
awareness of what makes Vermont unique.
Each year the Vermont Chamber of Commerce and Vermont
Business Magazine present the Deane C. Davis Outstanding
Business of the Year Award during the annual Vermont Business
& Industry EXPO. The award is given to the Vermont business
that has made exceptional accomplishments on a consistent basis
and demonstrated success by:
- Continued growth in number of employees and/or sales;
- Commitment of company resources, including employees, to
community projects;
- Recognition of the environment as a natural and economic
resource for Vermont; and
- Creation of a positive work environment for all employees.
The finalists will be announced in the May edition of Vermont
Business Magazine and the winner will be announced during the
opening ceremonies of the Vermont Chambers Vermont Business
& Industry EXPO on Wednesday, May 23, 2012.
Nominees and applicants are encouraged to complete the 2011
Deane C. Davis Award Nomination Form online at: /www.jotform.
com/form/13424041985. Hardcopy forms are available upon
request. Please contact Lisa Goodell at lgoodell@vtchamber.com
or (802) 262-0147. The deadline for applications is March 2,
2012.

Sec of State Reminds Businesses to File Annual Reports
n n n
Secretary of State Jim Condos reminds Vermont businesses that
if your business registration with the Division of Corporations/
Business Services has a Fiscal Year End of December (i.e. FYE
12); your annual reports are due between January 1st and March
15th, 2012.
The December annual reports filing is our busiest time of year.
We have sent out close to 40,000 notices to Vermont businesses
informing them that it is time to file their annual report, stated
Secretary Condos.
Maintaining your status as a Vermont entity on an annual basis
is an important part of your statutory responsibilities as a business
in Vermont. Furthermore, the process is quick and we encourage
clients to file online.
With a greater emphasis on reducing government waste, while
being more environmentally conscious, Secretary Condos is ask-
ing Vermont businesses to file online rather than print the form and
mail it in.
Saving a single sheet of paper, envelope and stamp may not
sound like a lot, but the reduction in waste for 40,000 clients adds
up quickly, said Condos.
The Division of Corporations/Business Services is in the process
of revamping its entire IT database to better serve Vermont cli-
ents.
Secretary Condos added, The current system is outdated, and
has limitations that affect the quality of our customer service. We
recognize that, and are moving forward with a complete replace-
ment of the outdated system. We look forward to making the
annual report process even easier and more user friendly in the
years to come.

Pictured here, Emily Kaminsky,
who is doing community outreach and
public relations for Barres City Place,
speaks to the Bare Rotary Club, as
Karen Lane, President of the Club
listens.
Kaminisky spoke about the devel-
oping project at Barre City Place.
There is a public presentation about
City Place on Thursday, January 19th
starting at 7pm in the Opera House,
and she encouraged people to attend
to show support for the project and
having state workers relocated to
Barre.
Kaminsky said the site is currently
owned by the City. The City pur-
chased the property with federal
Neighborhood Stabilization Grant
funds and demolished the former
Coins & Hobbies and Brooks Drugs
buildings. The City is working with
Black River Design on conceptual
designs for a building for the site.
It was reported in the Times Argus
that Governor Shumlin said some of
the state workers displaced from
Waterbury will be relocated to Barre,
and the City plans on making a pre-
sentation to the state for location of
workers in City Place. Other possible
occupants of the building include a
grocery store and health facilities.

Judy Tartaglia, CVMC president and CEO announced last week

that Waterbury Medical Associates will return to their facility at
130 South Main Street in Waterbury on Monday, January 23.
The temporary office on CVMCs Berlin campus and the satel-
lite office in the Thatcher Brook Inn will both be closed as of
Monday, January 23.
We want to thank all of our patients who were so understand-
ing and flexible with us during the aftermath of the flood, noted
Dr. Cove, Waterbury Medical Associates medical director. We
also want to thank everyone who was involved in cleaning up and
restoring our practice building, the parking lot and grounds.
Waterbury Medical Associates will be open regular hours,
Monday to Thursday, 8am - 8pm, Friday: 8am - 5pm and Saturday:
8am - 12 noon (by appointment only). The phone number remains
802-244-7874.
For those in the area looking for primary care, Waterbury
Medical Associates is accepting new patients.
There will also be a couple of additions to the Waterbury
Practice in the near future. A branch of Central Vermont Womens
Health will be located there including an OB/GYN physician and
a midwife.
Everyone is invited to visit Waterbury Medical Associates dur-
ing their Open House on Friday, February 10, from 6pm to 8pm.
Waterbury Medical Associates Re-opens on South Main Street
Starting Over Strong (S.O.S.) Vermont provides free short-term
support for individuals, groups, and communities impacted by
flooding from Tropical Storm Irene.
Teams of crisis support workers are on the ground throughout
the hardest hit communities in Vermont. S.O.S. Vermont Teams
conduct community and home-based outreach, door-to-door coun-
seling, and psycho-educational services at group meetings and
programs, free of charge.
Services are provided to individuals and families who are in
recovery, as well as to those individuals experiencing distress and/
or related emotional and behavioral difficulties from the flood.
Individuals who may be in need of more intensive supports are
identified and referred appropriately.
S.O.S. Vermont has seen great success over the past few
months. Contacts have been made with over 480 individuals
(door-to-door), over 1,700 individuals in group educational or
counseling settings and educational materials have been dissemi-
nated to over 4,100 individuals. More Vermonters are being con-
tacted every day.
Individuals who have experienced states of anxiety are feeling
reassured and supported by the crisis counselors knowing that they
will have someone to talk with the following week.
Team members are providing tips for anxiety such as, schedul-
ing a time to worry or offering breathing exercises to try. Other
team members have assisted people with applications for housing
and helped to decipher the myriad of paperwork flood victims can
be inundated with. S.O.S. Vermont Team Members have also
referred individuals whose houses have been damaged with mold
to community actions teams so they can get help with the repairs.
Group Meetings around the state are planned in the next few
months on flood recovery related topics. For example, in Windham
County, S.O.S. Vermont is working with a local pastor to host a
community dinner to educate people on the new normal, a pre-
sentation helping people adjusting to the Post-Irene world.
As people continue to call S.O.S. Vermonts toll-free hotline
number, 855-SOS-VT00 (800-767-8800), teams have made great
effort to get connected as quickly as possible. One man was sur-
prised when a team showed up at his house, ready to assist, after
calling only the day before.
S.O.S. Vermont works hand-in-hand with other local agencies
including Long Term Recovery Groups, the Governors Community
Recovery Partnerships, and other Vermont state designated agen-
cies. Teams are committed to supporting and promoting coalition
building around the state.
S.O.S. Vermont is supported by FEMA grant funding and is
administered by Washington County Mental Health Services in
conjunction with other designated mental health agencies and
community services in the hardest hit regions of the state.
For more information contact Cathy Aikman, S.O.S. Project
Director, at 229-1399 or cathya@wcmhs.org.
S.O.S. Vermont Offering Support to Those Impacted by Irene
Presentation to Look at the Impacts of Irene in the Dog River Valley
On January 26th, the Conservation Commissions of Northfield
and Berlin, along with Norwich University, the Winooski Natural
Resource Conservation District and the Friends of the Winooski
Rive, are sponsoring a program to discuss the impact of Tropical
Storm Irene and other flood events in the context of how we have
traditionally managed streams and what other options should be
considered based on river science to improve flood resiliency.
The program will be held on Thursday January 26th, 7 to 9pm
in Room 85 on the ground floor of the Cabot Science building on
the Norwich University campus.
The program will start with an overview of the geology of the
Dog River watershed and lead into a presentation on river dynam-
ics and management. This program will look at the interaction and
conflicts between the river and development and how traditional
management practices of gravel extraction, straightening and
armoring of banks impacts rivers and downstream communities
and infrastructure.

Quilts: Comforts & Connections/Flood Story
Exhibits at Bethel Town Hall
Central Vermont Runners Club
Donates $5,000 to Flood Relief
An exhibit will be held at the Bethel Town
Hall on January 21st & 22nd, providing an
opportunity to see more about the many dramatic
events that happened in the Bethel area during
and after Tropical Storm Irenes visit.
Mary Floyd, who is organizing the event,
chose the theme Quilts: Comforts &
Connections/Flood Story Exhibits because
quilts were not only directly involved during the
storm, but have played an important role since
the flood. And-- in much the same way that a
quilter can take a collection of many fabrics,
some of them initially seeming not to fit, and
work them into a beautiful quilt, many people in
the community came forward in a variety of
ways to provide comfort and security to their
neighbors when it was most needed.
Some stories will be in written form, in others
the photo exhibits will speak for themselves;
computer slide shows will be included. Quilts
will also be on display, many of them illustrating
the strong family connections between genera-
tions of Vermonters, even as far back as the 1927
Flood.
Present at the exhibit will be The Delectable
Mountain Quilters, a local group that meets
weekly in the approximately 20 members homes
in the area. They have made and given away 61
quilts, most all of them made by them, to storm
victims in the past four months. Several stories
of individual residents and neighborhoods will
be also be told. Local students flood-related art
and written stories will be on display.
There will be a silent auction of donated quilt
and art-related items. The event is sponsored by
the Bethel Historical Society, which will provide
related historical displays. Admission is $5 and
proceeds will go to the further clean-up of
Peavine Park and the athletic fields.
For questions or to make a donation, call Mary
Floyd at 234-9515.

The Central Vermont Runners
Club (CVR) is pleased to
announce that they have donated
$5,000 to various Irene Flood
Relief agencies. CVR has donat-
ed $1,000 to the Northfield
Observances, $1,000 to Daves
Community Fitness, $2,000 to
Revitalizing Waterbury, and
$1,000 to the Waterbury Food
Shelf, to aid residents in
Duxbury.
CVR has been involved in
Northfield, Waterbury and Duxbury for over 25
years sponsoring road races, and club members
felt it was important to show their support in the
continuing effort to aid those most in need in
those communities hit so hard.
In Northfield the club has partnered with the
Northfield Savings Bank to sponsor a 5K and 1
Mile race during the Labor Day Observances.
CVR was saddened with the need to cancel such
a popular event in 2011. Club President Norm
Robinson stated, Central Vermont Runners
hopes in some small way that our donation will
help the 2012 Observances to be bigger and bet-
ter than ever, and we look forward to being part
of the weekend festivities once again.
The 28th Annual Leaf Peepers Half Marathon
and 5K Road Race was held in
2011 in spite of the devasta-
tion in Waterbury and Duxbury
in large part due to the tremen-
dous cooperation of state and
local officials in both commu-
nities. CVR has had a won-
derful working relationship
with the Harwood Boosters
Club since our very first year
and the club has donated
approximately $100,000 to the
Boosters over that time. More
recently the volunteer firemen have volunteered
at the races and we have been pleased to make a
donation to them as well, said Robinson.
Because of these working relationships the
Central Vermont Runners has felt a strong bond
with residents in all three communities and are
happy to help anyway they can.
Central Vermont Runners is a non-profit cor-
poration, founded in 1980 to serve the needs of
all runners in the Central Vermont area. For
many years, CVR provided scholarship grants to
deserving students in the Central Vermont area,
and since 1996 the club has organized a kids
track meet for age 4 to middle school. For more
information, visit www.cvrunners.org.
There will be discussion on how Tropical
Storm Irene impacted the Dog River watershed
and its communities and how management prac-
tices can be changed to improve flood resiliency
of river communities. The program will also
include a discussion on Irenes impacts on the
fish population.
Speakers will include a river scientist and
watershed planner from the Department of
Environmental Conservation, a Norwich geology
professor, a Department of Fish and Wildlife
biologist and town staff.

Randolph & Montpelier Concerts to Celebrate Robert Burns Birthday
The Romance of Scotland, a Robert Burns Birthday celebra-
tion, will bring alive the traditional songs and stories of Scotland
Sunday, Jan. 22 at 3pm at Bethany Church in Randolph. The con-
cert will be repeated Friday, Jan. 27 at 7:30pm at Montpeliers
Bethany Church.
Performing will be Randolphs noted choral group, Sounding
Joy!, conducted by Marjorie Drysdale and accompanied by Marta
Borgstrom. Admission is by free-will donation.
Some 10 different soloists will join the chorus in presenting
songs chosen from the wealth of Scottish traditional music and
poetry, including songs by Burns. Burns alone among the major
poets in English, wrote a large proportion of his poems as songs,
intended to be sung to traditional melodies. More than 380 of his
poems, in fact, are songs- the most well known being, perhaps
Auld Lang Syne.
The tunes are among the most beautiful in the folk traditions of
any country, according to the director, and have a great variety of
character.
Some of these songs are achingly beautiful; others are playful
or dramatic, and some are tremendously stirring, she said. Scots
can be proud of their rich and varied heritage.
The subject of the songs presented Jan. 22 revolve mostly
around love - love of sweethearts, love of children, of the land and,
of course, of Scotland. Burns is famous for dozens and dozens of
love songs, more than a few of which refer to his own extensive
history of romantic involvements, both in the small town where he
grew up, and in London society where he was lionized for a
time.
Familiar love songs will include My Love is Like a Red, Red
Rose, Annie Laurie, and Green Grow the Rushes-O.
Patriotism is another powerful presence in Scottish songs espe-
cially those associated with the Jacobin movement of the mid-
1700s when the Highland clans yearned for the return of the Stuart
royal dynasty under the leadership of Bonnie Prince Charlie.
A section of the Sounding Joy! program will thus include such
Jacobite songs as Charlie Is My Darling, and Scots Wa Hae,
an uncompromising call to arms which served as the unofficial
Scottish anthem for more than a century.
The Jacobite songs provide a great showcase for the mens
section of Sounding Joy!, the director noted. We guarantee your
blood will be tingling.
The concert will offer arrangements for full chorus, solo voice,
and various small groupings, as well. Violinist Beth Telford and
cellist Becky McMeekin of Braintree will accompany some of the
songs.
Sounding Joy, founded in 1984 by Marjorie Drysdale, has a
repertoire of classical and popular music that ranges over five
centuries. The singers have appeared in venues throughout
Vermont, including three times in the legislative chamber at the
state capitol.
In March, the chorus, combined with the Sounding Joy Youth
Chorus, will be a guest of the Montpelier Chamber Orchestra in a
performance of John Rutters Mass for the Children, presented
both in Montpelier and at Chandler Music Hall in Randolph.

Wayside Restaurant Helps Vermont
Foodbank Check Out Hunger and
Provide Long-Term Recovery Support
Again this year, the Wayside Restaurant and Bakery asked their
customers to Check Out Hunger by adding $1, $3 or $5 to their
bill. This years promotion raised more than $2,000 and will help
the Vermont Foodbank provide nearly 13,000 meals to Vermonters
in need.
In addition to Check Out Hunger, Wayside owners Brian and
Karen Zecchinelli also hosted a Vermont Foodbank benefit dinner
to support the Foodbanks post-Irene recovery efforts. Both pro-
motions raised $2,544.70. Our customers clearly stepped up to
the plate on this one! They responded generously to our appeal to
help those flood victims in need. Their confidence in the Vermont
Foodbank to deliver the necessary assistance was key, said Brian
Zecchinelli.
We are so grateful to Brian and Karen and the Wayside
Restaurant and Bakery for their on-going partnership and commit-
ment to ensuring that no Vermonter will go hungry, in the after-
math of this disaster or at any other time, said John Sayles,
Vermont Foodbank CEO. Partnerships like these are vital in the
fight against hunger!

Vermont Community Loan Fund
Receives Grant from Create Jobs for
USA Initiative
The Vermont Community Loan Fund (VCLF), a local commu-
nity lender, announced recently that it has received a capital grant
from the Create Jobs for USA Fund, a collaboration between
Starbucks and Opportunity Finance Network (OFN). The money
will help VCLF create and sustain jobs in Vermont as part of a
national campaign to support community businesses in under-
served communities.
VCLF is one of the top-tier community development financial
institutions (CDFIs) in the nation to be awarded a grant from the
fund since the program began allocating awards in November of
2011. The Create Jobs for USA Fund pools donations from
Starbucks customers, partners/employees, and concerned citizens
into a nationwide fund, held and managed by OFN, for commu-
nity business lending. Donors who contribute $5 or more will
receive a red, white, and blue wristband with the message
Indivisible. The wristbands are individually handmade in the
U.S.A. and all component materials are manufactured by U.S. sup-
pliers, so the effort is also helping support American manufactur-
ing jobs.
Since November 1, The Create Jobs for USA Fund has been col-
lecting donations at www.CreateJobsforUSA.org and at nearly
7,000 company-operated Starbucks across the country. 100% of
the donations will support organizations like VCLF lending for job
creation and retention across the US.
Create Jobs for USA is making it possible for Americans who
have $5 to share help people who dont have $5 to spare by creat-
ing and retaining jobs in their communities, explained Mark
Pinsky, President and CEO of OFN. The Vermont Community
Loan Fund received this grant because it has demonstrated that it
will provide financing that is good for community businesses and
good for communities.
Were pleased that Starbucks recognizes the important work
that CDFIs are doing, and honored that the Create Jobs for USA
Fund has made a grant to us, said Will Belongia, Executive
Director of VCLF. Create Jobs for USA is unprecedented for the
CDFI industry. It is shining a national spotlight on our work and
will help VCLF to create and sustain jobs in Vermont.
CDFIs provide financing to community businesses in under-
served markets where would-be community business owners may
not qualify for credit from traditional lending institutions.
Community businesses include small businesses, microenterpris-
es, nonprofit organizations, commercial real estate developers, and
affordable housing developers. All of these community businesses
help to create and sustain local jobs.
Community business owners who would like to apply for a loan
from the Vermont Community Loan Fund can get more informa-
tion at www.investinvermont.org Or to find other CDFIs, visit
http://opportunityfinance.net/findacdfi. VCLF transforms
Vermonters lives by providing loans, grants and technical assis-
tance for affordable housing, small businesses, child care provid-
ers and other community facilities benefiting lower-income
Vermonters.

Fund, please contact Anne Loecher, VCLF Marketing &

W
hile the election season heats up, you
will hear more and more promises,
claims and counter-claims from the candi-
dates. As a citizen, you may or may not en-
joy this political theater, but as an inves-
tor, you might be concerned over all the talk
about taxes, Social Security, Medicare and
other fnancial topics. Will you need to adjust
your savings and investment strategies? If so, how?
Before you think about ad-
justing your investment strategy
in anticipation of any actions
coming from Washington, keep
a couple of facts in mind. First,
few campaign promises become
reality. And second, due to our
system of government, radical
shifts in direction are diffcult to
implement which is why so
few of them occur.
Still, we may see some small-
er-scale yet not insignifcant changes in the near future. In
light of this possibility, what investment decisions should you
make? Here are a few suggestions:
Consider owning investments that are taxed in different ways. No
one can predict what will happen with income tax rates or the tax
rates that are applied to capital gains and dividends. Consequently,
it may be a good idea to seek tax diversifcation by owning in-
vestments that are taxed in different ways. For example, when you
sell appreciated stocks, you pay capital gains taxes, whereas inter-
est payments from bonds will be taxed at your individual tax rate.
And its always a good idea to take advantage of tax-advantaged
vehicles, such as an IRA and your 401(k) or other employer-spon-
sored retirement plan.
Stick with quality. Its a good idea, when owning stocks, to invest
in quality companies with diversifed businesses. These companies
are usually less dependent on a particular government program,
and they typically have a global reach, so they may be better able
to handle any changes implemented in Washington.
Stay focused on your long-term goals. Politicians come and go,
and our political parties seem to take turns holding the reins of
power. Yet your long-term goals such as college for your chil-
dren, a comfortable retirement and the ability to leave a legacy
to your family dont really change. By realizing that you are
largely responsible for achieving your goals, and by following an
investment strategy thats suit-
able for your individual risk tol-
erance and time horizon, you can
make gradual, but still meaning-
ful, progress toward those goals
no matter whats happening
in Washington.
Review your strategy regular-
ly. With the possible approach
of changes in tax policies and in
government programs that can
affect your retirement security,
youll want to review your investment strategy regularly to make
sure its still on track toward helping you meet your objectives. As
part of this review, you may want to seek out more tax-smart
investment opportunities, while always looking for ways to sup-
ply the asset growth youll need to enjoy the retirement lifestyle
youve envisioned.
Aside from voting for the candidates who best represent your
interests, you may not have much infuence over what goes on in
Washington. But by electing the right moves to help meet your
goals, you can have plenty of control over your investment strat-
egy.

Tim Tebow Touchdown Pass Breaks
Twitter Record
By Jeremy C. Owens San Jose Mercury News (MCT)
The Tim Tebow pass that won Sundays NFL Playoffs game for
the Denver Broncos shattered Twitters record for sports-event
tweeting, the San Francisco company announced Monday.
On its own service, Twitter posted Monday morning that it
recorded 9,420 tweets per second after Broncos QB Tebow threw an
80-yard touchdown pass on the first play of overtime to beat the
Pittsburgh Steelers, 29-23.
Last night @TimTebow lead the @Denver_Broncos to an over-
time playoff win and a new sports Tweets per second record: 9420,
Twitter announced.
Twitter announced in December that its all-time record for tweets-
per-second was set on Dec. 9, when a popular Japanese animated
movie, Hayao Miyazakis Castle in the Sky, screened on televi-
sion, producing a whopping 25,088 tweets per second. Prior to that
event, the record had belonged to the 2011 MTV Music Awards,
which produced 8,868 tweets per second after R&B singer Beyonce
announced she was pregnant on the live show.
The top sports event before Tebows touchdown was the end of the
2011 FIFA Womens World Cup, in which Japan beat the United
States in a shootout; Twitter recorded 7,196 tweets per second for
that event.

Rick Santorums Google Problem Remains
By Mark W. Smith Detroit Free Press (MCT)
Rick Santorum, who lost by just eight votes to Mitt Romney
in Iowas caucuses this week, has several roadblocks in the way
of transitioning Tuesdays impressive finish to a Republican
presidential nomination: a limited war chest, a meager campaign
infrastructure and a history of controversial stances on social
issues.
His biggest foe, though, might be Google.
A candidates search results page is one of the most important
tools on the Web for pointing potential voters to a script written
by the campaign in hopes of shaping public perception.
And after his near victory in Iowa, many voters have been
searching for more information on Santorum. Many of them
have gotten quite the eyeful.
Santorums Google problem dates back to 2003, when colum-
nist Dan Savage challenged his readers to redefine the then-
Pennsylvania senators last name after he made some anti-gay
comments in an interview with the Associated Press.
That definition, which cant be reprinted in its entirety here, is
a neologism for the byproduct of a sex act.
If you go to Google and search just santorum, its the top
search result. The candidates official campaign website appears
fourth.
The issue isnt new, but has become even more pressing for
Santorum after his Top 2 finish in Iowa. The candidates last
name also was a recent Google Trend, a reflection of the renewed
interest in more information about him.
Its now even more surprising that Santorums campaign
hasnt righted the issue, given the importance of a candidates
online presence.
By creating a consistent, keyword-rich online presence for
himself, Santorum could have long ago sent his own website to
the top of Google.
Google isnt in the business of surfacing phony search results
on purpose. Its goal is relevance.
Google uses a complicated algorithm to decide which web-
sites appear first on a search results page. One of the clues
Google uses is how many websites link to a certain page. The
more sites that link to a specific URL, like Santorums official
site (http://www.ricksantorum.com/), the higher Google ranks
it.
Unfortunately for Santorum, each time there is renewed inter-
est in him, there is also renewed interest in his Google problem,
which again reinforces the prank definition.
And the former Pennsylvania senators campaign, a tiny outfit
compared to a machine like Romneys, has bungled opportuni-
ties to improve search results for his own site.
The fault lies squarely with his campaign, said Danny
Sullivan, editor in chief of Search Engine Land, an influential
blog on the search industry.
Sullivan outlined the missteps in a blog post this week, which
include the decision to redirect every page on www.ricksanto-
rum.com to a donation page. This move loses any search equity
those URLs had built up over time.
His campaign website has helped, but by dropping the web-
site and pointing everything over to the donation form, its as if
the Santorum campaign has taken all the votes its earned over
the past few months and tossed them all away, Sullivan writes.
Santorum and the rest of the Republican candidates, minus
Michele Bachmann, now focus on Tuesdays New Hampshire
primary.
Those voters will also surely be looking for more information
before heading to the polls.
Santorums campaign is surely hoping they steer clear of
Google.

The term hackers tends to
conjure up images of illicit
cyberspace break-ins stealing
personal financial information
or embarrassing national-secu-
rity secrets.
But some self-described
hackers in Central Florida are
coming together to do good
instead of evil.
They call themselves hack-
tivists. Their event, Coding
for a Cause, will select two
area nonprofit organizations
and develop websites and digi-
tal tools to help spread their
message _ a move aimed in part
at boosting the charities dona-
tions in tough economic times.
Sometimes hacking gets
misconstrued as being some-
thing bad, said Ryan Price, a
29-year-old consultant and
trainer for Drupal, a content-
management system that can be
used to build websites and
blogs. But it literally means
tinkering, and there are all sorts
of different hacking events. ...

The Will of Our Veterans
Editor:
I believe the most important issue to consider in the Republican
primary is foreign policy. The people most affected by our policy
choices are our brave men and women serving in the armed forces.
I want to respect them and listen to them. One message they are
sending loud and clear is their choice for who they want to be the
commander in chief of this country. They are telling us with their
pocketbooks. There is one candidate that has received more mon-
etary contributions from our active veterans than all the other
Republican candidates combined. There is one candidate that has
received over double what President Barack Obama has received
from our soldiers.
That candidate is Ron Paul. If the people putting their lives on
the line want Ron Paul to be their leader, then the one way I can
show them respect is to vote for the man they want. I vow to give
my vote, my time, as much money as I can and my support to our
military veterans by supporting Ron Paul. I hope you join me.

eek two of the legislative session saw the players, agen-
das, and actual bills starting to take shape. From the con-
troversial (S.134 decriminalizing the possession of small
amounts of marijuana) to the consensus (S.173, which would make
it simpler to start a new business). From the technical (S.162, clar-
ifying power-of-attorney rules) to the ideological (S.237, which
would replace the states gross domestic product gure with a
measure of social and economic well-being).
A minority of the total number of bills proposed will proceed,
and its the maneuvers among the lobbying crowd now that will
determine which bills that arent must pass will be among them.
This being the case, the Statehouse was consumed more with quiet
conversation than outright debate, making for a fairly buzz-free
week.
All the heat under the dome for the week, then, was generated
by Governor Shumlins budget address not so much by what was
in it, but what wasnt.
Its no accident that the budget address came early, nor was it an
oversight that the specifics were spotty at best non-existent at
worst. What direction the legislature will take in any given session
is disproportionately determined in the first few weeks, and the
bully pulpit of the gubernatorial budget address is an opportu-
nity to seize control of that direction. Moving the budget address
up was an implicit recognition of that fact. Expect all future
Governors to follow suit.
In an election year, this is even more important, and these first
couple weeks have had their share of positioning for this years
gubernatorial election. Shumlin got much of his ambitious agenda
underway in the last session. Now, he wants to keep the ship of
state steady enough to win re-election as its Captain, while his
opponents will want to derail his prospects by suggesting hes
about to run us into an iceberg.
Whoevers message wins is off to a big head start for the
November election, and as always the advantage goes to the
incumbent Governor. His presumed challenger Franklin County
Senator Randy Brock has his work cut out for him.
Listening to the budget address, its clear Governor Shumlin
wants to talk about the states recovery from Tropical Storm Irene
- and why wouldnt he? By all accounts, the response of the state
under his leadership has been good almost astonishingly so.
Shumlin also shrewdly repeated the slogan he so strongly
pushed in his State of the State as a collective motto: Vermont
Strong. If he says this enough (and he will), it becomes a state-
sponsored, omnipresent re-election slogan.
And thats why Republican leaders with the help of the occa-
sional frustrated Democrat are so eager to recast the debate
based on what wasnt in the address: health care reform.
Its a high-risk topic for Republicans with high-reward potential,
and could tip the debate over the summer and put Shumlin on the
defensive. Thats why so many Republicans are talking about it,
and why they are pushing the topic into friendly media outlets.
At first glance, it may seem counterintuitive. Governor Shumlin
ran for office on his health care reform ideas, more than on any
other issue and it worked. Why, then, wouldnt it work again?
Shouldnt this be a topic his electoral opponents would want to
avoid?
That depends on how its talked about.
Its a truism in politics that its always easy to get broad consen-
sus on general ideas and principles. But when general ideas
become specific policy proposals, you inevitably lose some people
and given that Shumlin defeated Brian Dubie by a razor thin
margin, Republicans know it may not take very many changing
sides to tip the next election to Brock.
Under Shumlins timetable for reform, there is no need to bring
up the specific hows (and how much) of his health care reform
plan until next year indeed many, such as House Health Care
Committee Chair Michael Fisher suggest it would be irrespon-
sible to bring out details before the overall roadmap is complete.
But the GOP is demanding just that and is backing its demand
with a pair of bills to force Shumlin to present the cost of his plan
before Election Day.
If the Republicans succeed, the controversy will go up to 11
which is precisely why these bills will die in the Democrat-
controlled legislative committees. Expect, then in coming weeks
and months to see Republicans putting out their own worst-case
scenario numbers as a basis for debate, while at the same time
promoting the idea that Shumlin is afraid to come clean on the real
costs of his proposals.
But until then, we have a legislative session to play out, and as
the nuts and bolts of that session become clearer in the coming
weeks, expect the early jockeying for position in the Governors
race to subside for a time, at least.

W
hen I tell you about my animals, I
always think that most of you vi-
sualize a tranquil home that is sort
of like Noahs Ark and as a rule, that may
be true. But I want to share with you what
happened here recently and this might
just change your opinion of how we live
and interact with our many pets.
My daughter Polly and her husband Russ had to go down to
Massachusetts to pick up their son, Mac from school. And because
it would take a day and they would have to spend the night with
Sarah and Rene, they had to leave their dogs with their Nana and
Grumpy, of course. When they asked me if it was O.K., I said No
but Malcolm said Yes, and so the saga begins. They have three
dogs and with our two that make fve. And if you add threeSiamese
cats, our house is just not quite big enough.
So that you know who is whom, let me explain. Two of Pollys
dogs are Jack Russell Terriers, Wally and Frankie. And they have
adopted Sarahs yellow Labrador, Eddie, who is a lovely, well be-
haved dog. Wally and Frankie arent! They fght constantly with
each other, putting me on edge from the get go! Well, my two an-
gels, Ollie and Lily and very patient and dont mind the visits from
their cousins except when they chew up their toys, which they do
constantly, too. And things were going smoothly, or as smooth as
they get, until bedtime, which is when the whole thing fell apart.
Now, I have to tell you that Lily, and Victor and James (cats)
always sleep on our king-sized bed with us. And Yul (another
cat) joins us whenever he feels like it. Ollie sleeps on his own
bed, which is half in and half out of my closet. So, here we all
were tucked into bed, lights out and of course, Malcolm was al-
ready asleep and snoring. And then the crying began. Both Wally
and Frankie were crying and sitting by the side of the bed. And I
thought Eddie was in the chair. But, oh no, the lights were barely
out when he jumped up and settled himself (all 100 + pounds of
him) at the foot of the bed and sort of on top of my feet. I tried
to ignore the crying and arrange my feet so that some blood was
able to get to my toes. Needless to say, I didnt fall asleep but then
again, I never do get to sleep right away. But the enormous body of
Eddie and the choir of Jack Russells was more than I could endure.
I shouted and screamed for them to be quiet, but to no avail. And
then, of course, Malcolm who cannot hear anything without his
hearing aids, woke up and shouted an obscenity so loud that I was
sure that our new friend who is living in our spare bedroom for the
winter, was probably packing or at least calling her parents!
Once he was awake, Malcolm kicked poor Eddie off the bed and
shrieked at the devil dogs! He then turned over and went back to
sleep. So, by now the house was relatively quiet. No crying and I
assumed that everyone found someplace to sleep and were deep
in slumber. And then at exactly 3:30am I woke up to deep and pa-
thetic crying, again. And I listened for as long as I could and then I
got our of bed and went to fnd out who was crying and why. And
to my surprise, it was Eddie and he had gone downstairs and was
standing at the foot of the stairs and sobbing his heart out! I turned
on the hall light and tried to convince him to come up, but he ap-
peared frighten and wouldnt move. So, in my bare feet, I carefully
went downstairs, took hold of his collar and put him on the frst
step. And as I tired to pass him and go back up myself, he took a
deep breath and rushed up. I still dont know if he was afraid of the
dark or the stairs, but at that moment, I didnt care.
And here is how we not only fnished that night but the next
night, too. On our bed were Malcolm, me, Lily, Victor, James, Yul,
Wally, Frankie and of course, Eddie. And even though it is a big
bed, when you have that many living and breathing mammals all
gathered together, there isnt much room for anyone. Warm? You
betcha, the warmest I have been this entire season. And although
everyone except me was sound asleep, I did think how funny it
would be if someone could come in and take a picture, because no
one would believe that our Ark is actually our king-sized bed.
When the Halpern-Reiss family had gone home, I was astound-
ed at how big our bed actually is. And it brought to mind the story
of the old man who complained to a wise man that his house was
too small. And it was only after he moved all his children and ani-
mals into his house and then took them all out that he was content
on how big his house had become! You know those old wise men
knew what they were talking about!

D
uring the Colonial period and early
1800s, those looking for adventure
and opportunity settled in Vermont,
rather than the Western states. Vermont was
known as an unsettled area compared to the
perceived crowded populations of southern New England, New
York and New Jersey.
Many of our early leaders did not have a college education, and
among the few who did, attended Harvard, Yale and Princeton.
The posts that they occupied included congressmen, U.S. sena-
tors, governors, Supreme Court justices, and Vermont historians.
One of the most prominent was Isaac Tichenor, who was born in
Newark, New Jersey in 1754. At the age of 21, he graduated from
Princeton College, whose president owned hundreds of acres in
eastern Vermont.
Tichenor gave up his study of law and joined the American
Army in 1785. Being assigned to the Commissary Department,
he spent time in Bennington in 1777. General Burgoyne, the Brit-
ish commander, was running out of supplies and sought to capture
them at Bennington.
The Battle of Bennington was part of the Battle of Saratoga,
and Bennington was connected to the Saratoga campaign, which
turned out to be the turning point of the American Revolution.
On the very day of the battle, Tichenor entered a tavern in Ben-
nington to have a meal. Great kettles of meat were being prepared,
but the tavern keeper refused to serve him. She said, This meat
is for the men who have gone to fght for their country, where you
ought to be. After explaining who he was, Tichenor was served
his meal.
Tichenor stayed in Bennington until the end of the war, made
Bennington his home, and began to practice law. For four years,
1781-1785, he represented Bennington in the legislature, and was
speaker in 1783. From 1791 to 1795, he served on the Vermont
Supreme Court, and was chief justice for one year. In 1796, he was
elected to the United States Senate, and upon the death of Gover-
nor Chittenden, he resigned his Senate seat to become governor.
Tichenor served as governor for ten years.
One of the great issues facing Vermont during this period was
Jeffersons Embargo, which had the effect of halting trade with
England. Vermonts greatest trading partner was British Canada,
and the Embargo was devastating to Vermonts economy. Gover-
nor Tichenor strongly opposed this embargo and in his inaugural
address, he declared, We sincerely regret that the Embargo was
not accompanied without evidence of national necessity or utility
which would have commanded obedience and respect.
Because he was governor, he was a member of the Board of
Trustees of the University of Vermont. He has been given credit
for the design of the frst UVM building, which was said to have
resembled the Old Nassau Hall on the Princeton campus.
As a member of Congress, Tichenor voted against the Missouri
Compromise bill because under that legislation, Missouri would
have become a slave state. The Vermont Constitution was the frst
state to outlaw slavery, and Vermont was always steadfastly op-
posed to that peculiar institution.
According to Walter Crockett, Tichenor was a man of accom-
plished manners and great personal charm, the complete opposite
of the uneducated, rough and ready Thomas Chitenden. Owing
to his political astuteness, Governor Tichenor was dubbed Jersey
Slick. Long after the Federalist Party had gone into a decline in
Vermont, Tichenor was elected again and again, until his enemies
almost despaired of ousting him from his executive chair. Probably
Vermont never has had a political leader whose personal popular-
ity exceeded that of Isaac Tichenor.

and Senate Economic Affairs Committee, and is the Senate Mi-
nority Leader. He teaches government history at Johnson State

Redevelopment of the
3 Church Street Fire Station
The Middlesex Select Board is soliciting proposals to

War and was used as a schoolhouse for 100 years. The
Select Board will consider all proposals, including rental
and/or sale, and/or relocation of the building. There is
an abutting parcel of land consisting of 1.6 acres that
may be considered as part of this project or considered
separately. The Select Board will consider many factors
to determine the best proposal, including impact on the
Town and Village and conformity with the Village Plan.
For a complete copy of the request for proposal, please
visit our website: http://middlesexvermont.org or contact

reserves the right to reject any and all applications.
W
ords are funny things. They really
are, and I believe this is especially so
in the English language. Words mean
different things to different people, and can
easily be misused, misheard, misinterpreted, or
misread. Some of this misinformation is probably intentional. If
you are a politician there is no probably about that. Sadly, when
listening to a politician you have to weigh whether or not that per-
sons words are true and accurate. It goes the same for listening
to children, except with kids you dont have to worry about the
truthful part. Kids may mix a word up here and there, but they tell
it like it is. In fact, kids
can be painfully hon-
est, like the time when
a small Sunday School
child, whom I thought
was taking in my ev-
ery word, as she stared
at me, suddenly raised
her hand and asked me
why I had hair in my
nose.
I would like you
to listen to a short,
recent, truthful con-
versation in the car,
between my daughter
Cathy, and her three-
year-old daughter, Ay-
vah. Crime, truly, is all
around us, as recently
observed by this beautiful and brilliant three-year-old granddaugh-
ter of mine, in that conversation with her mom. Heres the way the
conversation went, as Cathy related it to me.
Cathy: So, heres the story. We were riding in the car and Ayvah
said to me: There was a man in the driveway. I asked her who
he was, and she said, He was a murderer! I then asked her what
he was doing, and she said that he was over near the cars and the
house. I also asked her how she knew he was a murderer. She said:
Because he didnt have a car, and he had on a hat and had one
tool. I asked what kind of hat he had, and Ayvah then said: a soft
hat (It was about seven degrees out.)
Cathy continued: I then asked Ayvah if she had told her dad,
and she said No. She said her dad was upstairs, and she was
watching the man out the window. I paused, and then I asked her
what she meant by a murderer.
Ayvah: You know, the guys
who come if your power goes
out, to fx it and stuff.
Cathy: I said, Oh, a ME-
TER READER!
Ayvah: Yeah he was
checking the murder.
Your English is perfect, Ay-
vah. Energy costs are a killer.
Love, Grampy

The Murderer In The Driveway
By G. E. Shuman
n n n
COPE, CAMERON, died December 31, having
battled years of depression. He was born in Baltimore,
Md., Dec. 23, 1954. As a child, Cameron lived in
Italy and continued his education in Baltimore
before entering Stowe Prep School and attending
UVM. During his two years in Boston, Cameron
studied French cooking at L' Espalier and returned to
Vermont in 1986 to begin his first business, Ma
Maison Game Pates and Terrines. During 1990, he developed an
interest in fine carpentry and became a master craftsman. He cre-
ated the company Custom Furniture and became known for his
graceful designs, always using Vermont timber's natural markings.
As Cameron's passion for wood developed he started Timber
Wright, a business of uncompromising timberland improvement
services. A naturalist who lived his life enthralled by nature, he
was also an avid reader, an elegant writer, a sportsman and a
cyclist. Cameron was deeply loved and admired by his community
of friends. A brilliant man of few words, but unique integrity and
unstinting generosity, he returned that affection by a consistent
outpouring of giving, making, doing, helping. He was as rooted in
the land of Vermont as the trees that were his constant compan-
ions. A walk through the woods with him was an education and a
thrilling journey of discovery. He was, in every way, a beautiful
man. Cameron is survived by his mother, Jamie Cope, and his
sister, Tami Calliope. Their loss is enormous. There will be no
memorial at this time. There will be a gathering in the spring to
celebrate his life.

HARRINGTON, LANCE C., of
Waterbury and Sarasota, Fla., died unexpectedly
January 5 at the Sarasota Memorial Hospital. Lance
was born on Dec. 13, 1944, in Moultrie, Ga., to Walt
and Charlotte (Agnew) Harrington. As an infant, he
moved to the Brattleboro area with his family and
attended schools there. Lance entered the U.S. Army in 1966, and
served in Vietnam in 1967. After his military service, Lance
received a bachelor's degree from the University of Vermont. Ever
the adventurer, Lance then decided to attend the Oklahoma School
of Horseshoeing. As a farrier, he traveled the back roads of
Vermont looking for horses that needed a good clipping or a new
set of shoes. In the fall of 1986, Lance enrolled in Vermont Law
School and four years later, he received a law degree. He began his
own practice specializing in disability law. Lance was a man of
action. While others talked of things they would do upon retire-
ment, he actually did them. He traveled to Tanzania on a photo
safari. At age 60, he walked the Long Trail from Massachusetts
through Vermont with his beloved terrier, Cutters. Soon after, he
bought a Honda Gold Wing touring motorcycle and rode west to
visit his daughter in Colorado. At age 65, he received his scuba
diving certification. He was also well known for his passion to
brew maple syrup each spring and mete it out very carefully.
Lance's absence will be deeply felt by those who loved him. He
leaves his wife and friend, Diana Lyn, and the love of his life,
daughter Kate and canine daughter Cutters. He leaves his dad,
Walter Harrington, and his dear stepmom, Mary, his brother Scott
and wife Irene, nephew Scott II and niece Christine. He was pre-
deceased by his mother, Charlotte, in 1996. He also leaves his
"other" family, Don and Jean Smith and all the members of their
clan, and close friend Ray Foster.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)
Guess what, Lamb? Youre about
to experience a new perspective on
a situation you long regarded quite
differently. What you learn could
open more opportunities later.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
The Bold Bovine is tempted to
charge into a new venture. But it
might be best to take things one
step at a time, so that you know just
where you are at any given point.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Its a
good time to go on that fun get-
away youve been planning. Youll
return refreshed, ready and, yes,
even eager to tackle the new chal-
lenge that awaits you.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The
Moon Child loves to fantasize
about magical happenings in the
early part of the week. But the
sensible Crab gets down to serious
business by weeks end.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) What
goes around comes around for
those lucky Leos and Leonas whose
acts of generosity could be repaid
with opportunities to expand into
new and exciting areas of interest.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) Your concern about your job
responsibilities is commendable.
But you need to take some quiet
time to share with someone who
has really missed being with you.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Aspects favor getting out and
meeting new people. And as a
bonus, you might find that some of
your newly made friends could
offer important business contacts.
SCORPIO (October 23 to
November 21) You might take
pride in wanting to do everything
yourself. But nows a good time to
ask family members to help with a
demanding personal situation.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Pay more attention
to the possibilities in that work-
place change. It could show the
way to make that long-sought turn
on your career path.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Your need to succeed
might overwhelm obligations to
your loved ones. Ease up on that
workload and into some well-
deserved time with family and
friends.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to
February 18) Love rules for amo-
rous Aquarians who can make good
use of their ability to communicate
feelings. Dont be surprised if
theyre reciprocated in kind.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Fishing for compliments? No
doubt, you probably earned them.
But its best to let others believe
they were the ones who uncovered
the treasure you really are.
BORN THIS WEEK: Your good
works flow from an open, generous
heart. Nothing makes you happier
than to see others happy as well.

Reducing Dementia
Symptoms
A study in JAMA looked at the
lighting in rooms of people with
dementia. They fitted half the rooms
with normal office-level lighting
and the other half with much bright-
er lighting, that remained on for
nine hours. Also, within each group,
half the people took melatonin. The
people in the brighter rooms saw a
small increase in cognitive function
and also a decrease in symptoms of
depression Also, those in the bright-
er settings who took the melatonin
had some improvements in sleep.
However, those in dimmer rooms
had a quicker decline in the perfor-
mance of daily living tasks and
those on melatonin became more
withdrawn.

Get ready to
REVEAL YOUR
BEST SELF
today!
T
he holidays may be gone,
but real winter's just get-
ting its mojo going. Yep, tem-
peratures that don't budge on
the thermometer and the big-
gest cold-and-flu months are
all ahead. Relax. If you win-
terize your body the YOU Docs way, you'll
protect yourself and your family against cold
weather's underrated -- and unsuspected -- health
hazards: higher blood pressure, lower moods,
heart attacks and more.
1. The threat: Seasonal spikes in lousy cho-
lesterol
The fix: Blame it on the thermometer, comfort
food cravings or the chocolate truffles Aunt
Bessie sent. Whatever the cause, lousy LDL
cholesterol increases in winter. The July versus
January difference is 4-5 points, enough to boost
heart-threatening gunk in artery walls. Clean it
out by regularly reaching for fiber-packed sea-
sonal goodies: a bowlful of oatmeal every morn-
ing (its soluble fiber does some serious house-
keeping in your arteries), juicy Clementine
oranges for afternoon snacks, winter squash for
dinner (sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg).
2. The threat: Getting cold to the bone
The fix: No one would go coatless when the
mercury hits sub-zero, but we're amazed by how
often people underdress when the thermometer's
in the 30s. You can lose so much body heat that
you wind up in our ERs, shivering uncontrolla-
bly, unable to warm up. It's called hypothermia,
and it can be scary, even fatal. If you're headed
out to watch the kids ice skate or cheer on a
snowshoe marathon, wear extra layers. Adding/
subtracting layers lets you regulate your body
temperature, so you don't get deep-chilled or
overheated and sweaty -- also risky in cold
weather. If you absolutely have to go out in a
snowstorm, take a warm blanket and some bags
of nuts or energy bars in case your car gets
stuck.
3. The threat: Winter doldrums
The fix: Short days, long nights and watery
sunlight can leave you feeling less than merry
and bright. Give your mood a "vaccine" with
brisk lunchtime walks, when the winter sun's at
its strongest. A half-hour a day
can be all it takes to prevent or
relieve depression. Make a
regular walking date with a
pal. It gives both of you a rea-
son to get out there and some-
one to laugh with. If you think
you've got even borderline seasonal affective
disorder (depression due to winter's gloomy
levels of sunlight levels), invest in a blue fre-
quencies bright lamp designed to lift SAD.
4. The threat: Serial colds and flu
The fix: Cold temperatures and low humidity
are the influenza virus's favorite weather. A flu
shot (it's still not too late), frequent hand-wash-
ing and pulling out the sanitizer when you can't
get to a sink are your first-line defenses. So is
taking 1,000 IU of vitamin D-3 daily, which cuts
your flu risk in half. Get eight solid hours of
sleep nightly to head off colds -- and winter
weight gain, too. Staying up playing Angry
Birds till all hours (and likely noshing while
you're at it) leaves you five times more likely to
wind up sneezing -- and shopping for elastic-
waist jeans.
5. The threat: Shoveling snow
The fix: The classic "snow shoveler's heart
attack" is all too real. In winter, the risk of
strokes and heart attacks climbs by as much as
12 percent, in part because blood pressure
sneaks up when the thermometer plummets.
Aggravate that by going from lazing by the fire
to trying to clear the driveway faster than your
neighbor's snow-blower, and it's easy to put your
ticker on overload. Ease into heavy-duty out-
door work. Take plenty of breaks. Scoop up
smaller, lighter loads with your shovel (both of
our wives gave us snow shovels this year!). And
keep up your regular 30-minute walks so you're
no stranger to activity (do 'em indoors if you
have to). Spring will be here eventually.

health? Then "Powerful Tools for Caregivers" is
for you.
Powerful Tools for Caregivers is an educa-
tional series designed to provide you with the

program helps family caregivers reduce stress,
improve self-confidence, communicate feelings
better, balance their lives, increase their ability
to make tough decisions and locate helpful
resources.
Classes consist of six sessions held once a

storming will help you take the tools you
choose and put them into action for your life.
Class leaders are Jeanne Kern, Family Caregiver
Support Coordinator at Central Vermont Council
on Aging, and Susan Gordon, past director of the
Vermont Alzheimers Association.
You will receive a copy of The Caregiver
Helpbook, developed specifically for the class.
A donation of $20 to help defray the cost of the
book is suggested, but not required to attend the
class.
Classes will be held at Central Vermont
Council on Aging in Barre on Wednesdays, 3:00
4:3 pm. The Powerful Tools class will begin on
February 1st. For more information or to regis-
ter, contact Jeanne Kern at jkern@cvcoa.org or

Slide Show on Historic VT Barns and Churches
Planned for Plainfield
Jan Lewandoski, well known expert, will
present a slide show and talk about Vermonts
historic barns and churches on January 22 at
2pm at the Plainfield Community Center,
above the Plainfield Co-op. The event, free and
open to the public, is sponsored by the
Plainfield Historical Society.
Lewandoski owns Restoration and
Traditional Building, a company specializing
in the restoration and reconstruction of historic
timber frame structures, particularly bridges,
churches, barns and public buildings. The
company is based in Greensboro Bend, but has
worked throughout New England as well as
New York State, North Carolina and the
Provinces of Ontario and Quebec.
Jan has published numerous articles in pro-
fessional journals on the topic of historic build-
ing technology, written a book and lectures
widely, including Scotland and Canada. He
was the keynote speaker at the 12th annual
International Preservation Trades Workshop in
2008 in Barre. He frequently serves as a con-
sultant to the Preservation Trust of Vermont,
the National Park Service, Historic American
Engineering Record, and the International
Council on Monuments and Sites. He was
responsible for re-erecting the timber frame
and woodwork of a late Qing Dynasty Chinese
house (shipped in its entirety from China) for
the Peabody Essex Museum in Boston.
Jan and his crew have been restoring cov-
ered bridges since the mid 1980s. They have
restored twenty-four and built four new ones
with single spans as long as forty-seven feet.
The members of the company have extensive
experience with heavy timber work, historic
structural and layout systems, jacking and rig-
ging and the reproduction of historic moldings
and finish work.
The upcoming slide show promises a special
look at a good sampling of Vermonts special
historic barns and churches.

North Branch Nature Center Announces
Lecture and Slide Show Series
The North Branch Nature Center will con-
tinue for the eighth straight year its popular
public program series, Naturalist Journeys,
by offering five Friday evening presentations
in January, February, and March, at the
Unitarian Church on Main Street in Montpelier.
These exciting programs will explore natural
places in Vermont and beyond with scientists
and authors who share stories, images and
insights from their travels and discoveries. The
programs begin at 7pm on Friday January 20,
January 27, February 24, March 9, and March
16.
Starting off the series is ecologist Rick
Paradis, from the University of Vermont. For
years, Paradis has led groups of students
through the highlands of Scotland, teaching
about this unique landscape. In his program,
The Natural History and Conservation of the
Scottish Highlands, he will investigate the
conservation programs that have developed
under the distinct cultural, political, and eco-
nomic systems found there. On January 27,
Bryan Pfeiffer, local naturalist and author, will
lead an armchair hike into the depths of the
Grand Canyon in his lecture/slideshow Into
the Canyon, Into the Earth.
Next, on February 24, Heather Forcier will
present a powerful collection of images and
stories from over ten years of nature photogra-
phy. From Churchill, Manitoba to the Galapagos
Islands, Forciers travels and experiences will
be the focal point of her presentation,
Spectacles of Nature: A Photographic
Journey. On March 9, the focus will shift
closer to home with a presentation from Alex
Lehning, an archeological conservator with the
Lake Champlain Maritime Museum. The
waters of Lake Champlain are home to the
largest collection of shipwrecks in North
America, and Lehning will tell the stories of
several of these vessels, and explore the envi-
ronmental issues and challenges that affect
their documentation and conservation in his
talk, The Shipwrecks of Lake Champlain.
As winter draws nearer to its end, the series
concludes on March 16 with a voyage to east-
ern Nepal. Tracking requires a particular qual-
ity of attention and intention to observe the
markings in snow, the scratches on tree trunks.
What is revealed if we bring that same atten-
tion to tracking spirit? Join anthropologist Ann
Armbrecht in her presentation Tracking Spirit:
A Pilgrimage to the Himalayas and Home, for
her reflections on the ways this attention to
spirit also guides traditional herbal medicine in
the U.S., and for what the presence or absence
of spirit reveals about the cultural dimensions
of sustainability.
Along with the many friends of the North
Branch Nature Center, the Naturalist Journeys
lecture series is supported generously by
Washington Electric Co-op, Capitol Copy, Jet
Service Envelope, and Paul P. Hanlon, Attorney.
Donations are welcomed for all programs.
Snacks and drinks will also be available.
The North Branch Nature Center is a 501(c)3
non-profit organization dedicated to providing
quality environmental education for children
and adults through hands-on encounters with
nature and first-hand accounts of the natural
world. The Nature Center is located at 713 Elm
Street, two miles north of downtown
Montpelier. For a list of programs and events,

East Montpelier Residents Invited to Forum
on Needs and Options for Elementary School
East Montpelier residents will soon get their
first look at several options and estimates for
bringing its elementary school building up to
code and the learning environment up-to-date.
On Monday, January 23, at 6:30pm a com-
munity forum at the school will include a pre-
sentation on How Students Learn Today and
preliminary drawings from Truex Cullins
architects. The EMES Facility Committee has
been working over the past two years to iden-
tify the areas in the building that need repair
including the kitchen, air quality, electrical
system, asbestos removal, and handicap acces-
sibility.
A free spaghetti dinner will be served for the
community from 5:30 to 6:15 and childcare
will be provided during the meeting.
Truex Cullins, a firm well-respected for its
school designs in Vermont, has developed
these options after gathering input from resi-
dents and school faculty over the past few
months. Input at this meeting will help shape
the final draft design and the EM School Board
anticipates a bond vote in May.
Technology and other 21st century demands
are changing the way students learn and what
skills they need to succeed in school and the
work place. As a result, older schools are
modifying their classrooms and teaching meth-
ods to give kids the best start they can. Peter
Drescher from the Vermont Department of
Education will summarize these ideas in a brief
presentation and Q and A session.
The Facility Committee has been overseeing
small changes to the building as the annual
EMES budget allows. It is now looking at
ways to solve the larger challenges posed by
the structure and is asking for ideas and input.
After our last round of community meet-
ings it was clear that we needed to come up
with a plan that would not only take care of our
mechanical issues, but also address our educa-
tional needs, explains EMES Facility
Committee Chair Flor Diaz-Smith.
The Committee is also hosting a hands-on
Community Design Day from 9am to noon on
January 28 to brainstorm ideas and specific
suggestions on the design options presented.
For more information call EMES at 223-7936
or visit online at www.emontpelierschool.org
An RSVP to Jane Badger, 223-7936 x302 is
appreciated regarding the dinner or child care.

Oscar Watch
The Help
A
societys fundamental values usu-
ally dont change. And when change does happen, it is a
slow evolution.
In this world of continuity and social stability, there has been
one really huge, dramatic change: the Civil Rights revolution of
the mid to late 20th Century. It is literally hard to believe that
my parents grew up in a United States that allowed even sanc-
tioned the segregation and subjugation of black people.
To its credit, Hollywood embraced the civil rights cause from
the beginning. Bravo to Hollywood for continuing to make mov-
ies that remind us of our countrys ugly Jim Crow past and ac-
knowledge the debt that we owe to the brave freedom ghters
who tore it down.
But in their zeal to present the victims of racism as sympathet-
ic and unthreatening, lmmakers often err in the other direction
by creating bland, milquetoast, unrelatable black characters.
Instead of challenging white America to accept real, awed,
emotional black protagonists, Hollywood tries to make the argu-
ment for equality more convincing by only showing us stoic,
saintly black characters with superhuman patience and de-
cency.
The Help follows the long Hollywood tradition of white-
washing black people on the silver screen.
Writer/director Tate Taylor paints a vivid picture of a world
that happily no longer exists. He takes us inside the houses of
1950s Jackson, Mississippi and shows us the strange, compli-
cated relationship between upper middle class young women
and the black maids who cleaned their
houses, served their food, and effective-
ly raised their children.
Even though Taylor slavishly adheres
to the standards of political correctness,
he still managed to make an effective
drama.
Emma Stone is more likable than
usual playing Skeeter Phelan: a plucky
newspaper columnist who comes up with the bold plan of inter-
viewing the towns black housemaids and compiling their stories
into an eye-opening book.
By questioning and challenging the peculiar rules of southern
apartheid the separate bathrooms, separate schools, separate
legal systems Skeeter and her subjects were both breaking the
law and putting themselves in danger.
But the outrageous Jim Crow establishment needed to be
eradicated, so a few brave maids (Viola Davis, Octavia Spencer)
decided to be heroes. Generally, I think people should try to con-
form as much as possible and avoid stirring up trouble. But the
civil rights revolution was a time for heroes.
Thanks to the victory of the civil rights movement, we can
proudly say that we live in a society where everyone is subject to
the same laws. I am personally grateful that we are free to social-
ize with people of different races and share the best things about
our respective cultures with each other.
We live in a better world due to the sacrice of the civil rights
activists and The Help is a well-deserved tribute to them.
Its an overly long tribute, though. There are about ve dif-
ferent sappy happy endings that drag the lm out well past two
hours.
The Help tells a good story; an important story. But just
because the civil rights cause was unambiguously righteous
doesnt mean that every civil rights advocate was a saint. Hol-
lywood needs to make a lm called The Jerks Who Junked Jim
Crow to make up for movies like this.

HEALTH CARE
LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE/
Lose 20 pounds in one week?
This is almost impossible!
Weight loss ads must refect
the typical experiences of the
diet users. Beware of pro-
grams that claim you can lose
weight effortlessly. TIP: Clues
to fraudulent ads include words
like: breakthrough, effortless,
and new discovery. When you
see words like these be skepti-
cal. Before you invest your time
and money call the ATTORNEY
GENERALS CONSUMER
ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, at
1-800-649-2424.
WANT A CURE-ALL?
Health fraud is a business that
sells false hope. Beware of un-
substantiated claims for health
products and services. There
are no Quick Cures - no mat-
ter what the ad is claiming. TIP:
DO NOT rely on promises of a
money back guarantee! Watch
out for key words such as exclu-
sive secret, amazing results,
or scientifc breakthrough. For
more information on health re-
lated products or services, call
the ATTORNEY GENERALS
CONSUMER ASSISTANCE
PROGRAM at 1-800-649-2424,

vider.

Pez Dispenser
Q: I have a Pez dispenser of
Walt Disneys Goofy. I pur-
chased it during the 1970s and
now would like to sell it -- if
the price is right. -- Bill, Palm
Coast, Fla.
A: Your Pez dispenser came in
two designs, one with ears
that moved, the other with the
ears fixed. The swinging ears
model generally sells for about
$30, the other $15 to $20.
***
Q: I have a set of dishes, ser-
vice for six, acquired during
the 1950s. Each piece was
available in boxes of Duz soap
powder. They are identified as
being the Golden Wheat
pattern, and each is trimmed
in 22k gold. Are they worth
anything with the gold trim?
-- Donna, Lyons, N.Y.
A: The gold trim contains
such a small amount of the
precious metal that it doesnt
add much to the value. Dishes
were popular premiums
throughout the 1930s, 40s
and 50s and often were found
in the containers of oats, cere-
als and other popular kitchen
products. Dish Nights at
movie theaters also were pop-
ular. Between features, lucky
ticket holders won dishes and
other prizes.

Q: My family owned and
operated a service station in
New Mexico during the 1940s.
While clearing out a storage
locker recently, I found a
small collection of gas-station
memorabilia, including vin-
tage oil cans, road maps and
several interesting old signs.
How can I determine if they
are worth keeping? -- Carl,
Rio Rancho, NM
A: One of the better referenc-
es is Warmans Gas Station
Collectibles: Identification
and Price Guides by Mark F.
Moran (Krause, $24.99).
Morans guide features more
than 1,800 illustrations in full-
color of gas-station cans, bot-
tles, signs, pumps, globes and
other related items, in addition
to current retail prices. This is
a fun book that should be
helpful.
***
Q: I have a metal ricer and
press that was used by my
mother during the 1930s. It
still has the wooden piece that
was used to process or liquefy
solid foods, and the original
stand. What is it worth? --
Betty, Sun City, Ariz.
A: Your press with stand and
wooden wedging element is
valued in the $15 to $20
range.

Theres a reason most refrigerators have
more than one crisper drawer. Some items
need to be stored separately. For example,
keep apples and carrots in different compart-
ments. The apples give off a gas that can give the carrots a bitter
taste.
Heres a great tip from the American Society for the Prevention
of Cruelty to Animals: During the winter, outdoor cats sometimes
sleep under the hoods of cars. They can be hurt or even killed by
the starting of the motor. Before you start your car in the morning
(or any time of day, really) give your hood a nice, loud rap to give
the cat a chance to escape.
To keep melting snow, mud and leaves out of your house and
off of your floors, line a wide, shallow box bottom with plastic
wrap or a kitchen-size garbage bag. Place the lined box near the
front door to hold dirty shoes. -- R.I. in Ohio
Apply lemon juice to the cut surface of an apple to prevent
browning.

NOW HERES A TIP
By JoAnn Derson
Winter Roof
Maintenance
Q: The last time I did an inspection of the
outside of my house, I noticed a tree branch
hanging over the roof gutter. My neighbor
let me into his house upstairs to get a better
look, and I saw that it was a fairly large
branch. I dont think I can reach it safely as there is too much snow
and ice around to climb up there. Should I just leave it until
spring?
-- Chet C., Portland, Maine
A: Its up to you, really. If its too dangerous to remove by yourself,
contact a professional tree service and get a written estimate of
how much it will cost for them to remove the limb. If the cost is
too steep, you have the option of leaving it until the snow and ice
thaw and then working with a friend to remove it.
But safety should always be a consideration. Even without snow
and ice, the limb could be too heavy to move safely, or electrical
wires could be nearby, or you may not have a ladder tall enough to
access that part of the roof. Also, if the tree limb caused roof dam-
age and a leak, theres little time to lose to clear the roof and fix
the leak before more serious damage occurs. In those cases, the
tree service is your best option.
HOME TIP: Ice dams forming along your gutters? Poor insulation
or ventilation at the eaves may be your problem. An insulation
installer can inspect and recommend a solution.

Animal Advocates
DEAR PAWS CORNER: I
recently read on your website
about a North Carolina county
board that wanted to disallow
adoptions of certain dog breeds
from its shelter. The proposal
was defeated thanks to a huge
public outcry, but what about
other rulings that dont get as
much publicity? How do we
find out about them, and how
can we get enough public support to stop unfair pet laws?
-- Jane in Missouri
DEAR JANE: Its great that youre concerned and want to be
more active in the area of pet legislation. The North Carolina
case was a classic example of legislators (or in this case, a
county board) proposing pet laws based upon popular but often
inaccurate information, particularly about bully breeds (pit
bulls, Doberman pinschers, etc). The county board shelved its
proposal after receiving tens of thousands of emails and facing
a packed house of dog owners, rescuers and other advocates at
its board meeting.
Getting started can be as simple as an Internet search. Major
organizations such as the Humane Society of the United States,
the SPCA (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals)
and growing organizations like the No-Kill Advocacy Center
are good websites to start with. You often can find local chap-
ters or local advocacy organizations through larger nonprofits
websites.
Facing down local legislators is just one facet of animal advo-
cacy. If you want to learn more about protecting pets, pick up
Defending the Defenseless: A Guide to Protecting and
Advocating for Pets, by Allie Phillips (Rowman and
Littlefield). Phillips is an attorney and animal-rights advocate,
and her book is packed with information on ways you can
become more active.

Snow Removal and Other January Gardening Tips
Charlie Nardozzi, Horticulturist and
Leonard Perry, UVM Extension Horticulturist

Removing snow prop-
erly to avoid plant dam-
age, watching for fungus
gnats on indoor plants,
and checking stored root
crops are some of the
gardening activities for
this month.
When you are clearing
your driveway with a
snow blower this winter,
direct the snow away
from plants. Otherwise,
the blowing ice crystals
may damage the tender
bark of young trees and
shrubs. This isnt as
much of a concern for
plants wrapped with bur-
lap.
When deicing walks,
use one of the granular
products with a chlo-
ride other than sodi-
umthese are safer on
plants. They may cost a bit more, but you can often use less. Calcium chloride works best in the cold-
est areas (down to about 5 degrees F). If below this temperature, dont use any chemical product but
rather sand for traction. Liquid products dont track into buildings
as granular ones often do. Apply any material before ice and snow,
if possible, for best results.
Potatoes, onions, carrots, turnips, and other root crops that you
have stored in your basement or root cellar should be checked
regularly for signs of decay. Any vegetables that show any rotting
should be removed and any good parts eaten (if possible) immedi-
ately so they dont spread the disease to other vegetables.
If youve stored tender summer bulbs, check them too periodi-
cally. Gladiolus corms are usually pretty easy to store as long as
they dont freeze. Dahlia tubers, on the other hand, can die if they
get too dry or stay too wet. If they are stored in a medium such as
sawdust, compost, or similar, and it feels damp and tubers are get-
ting mushy, replace them at once into a drier mix and cut off rotten
portions. If they are starting to shrivel, add a bit (not too much)
moisture to the storage medium.
Check the calendar to see if your forced bulbs have received their
recommended amount of cold treatment (12 to 16 weeks). If so,
move them into a 50-degree (F) spot out of direct sun until the
flower shoots are about 2 inches tall, then move the pots to a sunny
68 degree location. The warmer the temperature, the shorter the
flowering stems will be and the faster the bulbs will flower and
fade.
If youve noticed tiny black flies that look like fruit flies around
your indoor plants, they are probably fungus gnats. Though annoy-

ing when they flit about, the 1/8-inch-long adult insects are harmless. Their tiny, worm-like larvae
feed on organic matter in moist soil, which can include plant roots. To control them, allow the soil to
dry out between watering, use sticky traps, or drench soil with a biological control available at stores
and labeled for this insect.
When youre finished with holiday evergreen boughs, use them to mulch tender perennials and
shrubs. They make a lightweight but insulating layer that helps protect plants from alternating tem-
peratures like our typical January thaw followed by a deep freeze.
Other gardening ideas for this month include looking through print and online seed and plant cata-
logs, visiting a botanic garden online, keeping your birds fed and water in heated birdbaths changed
every few days, and admiring your winter landscape with snowshoes.

Last Weeks Ups and Downs of
Weather
Weather systems last week began
with a weak trough of lower pressure
last Tuesday the 10th that brought our
region a little uptick in temperature
(mid 40s down at Chester and Fair
Haven). Higher pressure exited after a
nice mid week day (Wednesday) to one
promising plenty of extended weather
action with more ups and downs in tem-
perature and precipitation types. This
storm system was one of the more com-
plex this winter, with actually two sepa-
rate jet stream disturbances not quite
interacting together. But, the main
effects were for an extended period of
clouds and mostly rainy precipitation
types.
Any rain this time of year comes at a
huge cost with icy travel and costs to
local town and state roads crews with
expensive salt and sand and manpower.
Of course not only that, it also dents our
snow cover at the local ski resorts and
makes for better skating (ice) than ski-
ing. However late in the week, another
upslope event took place enhanced by
relatively warm surface waters of the
Great Lakes adding to this snowfall.
The result for up and down the Green
Mountains was some decent snows.
Officially the most snow fell outside
Stowe with an even foot. Two day totals
were loser to 23 inches ending last
Saturday at Jay Peak. Mad river glen
was able to open up the slopes over the
weekend as well with some nice snows
on General Stark Mountain and down
the spine to Killington all the way to
Mount Snow.
Last Weekend saw the coldest tem-
peratures work in with two nights of
minus readings. The coldest was
Monday morning with minus 23 2 miles
northeast of Sutton just down the road
from West Burke.

Global Weather Facts For Last Week
Last weeks hottest temperature on
planet earth was 113 at Twee Riviere,
South Africa.. Last weeks coldest tem-
perature: minus 55 Russias Siberian
community of Amga.
The global concentration of atmo-
spheric 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.
December 2011 Carbon Dioxide level
(CO2) were in at 391.80 Compared to
previous December 2010, it is up from
389.68 That was a 2.12 increase in parts
per million from December 2010.
Arctic Sea Ice in December Not
Coming Back As Expected
From the National Snow and Ice Data
Center (NSIDC) -- The past two Arctic
winters were dominated by a negative
phase of the Arctic Oscillation, a large-
scale weather pattern that brings gener-
ally warm conditions to the Arctic and
colder conditions to Europe and North
America. In contrast, the winter of 2011
has so far seen a mostly positive phase
of the Arctic Oscillation. While tem-
peratures were above normal in the
Kara and Barents seas, the positive
phase of the Arctic Oscillation tends to
keep the coldest winter air locked up in
the Arctic, which keeps the middle lati-
tudes free of frigid Arctic temperatures
and strong snowstorms. This weather
pattern helps to explain the low snow
cover and warm conditions over much
of the United States and Eastern Europe
so far this winter.
Several studies have shown that dur-
ing the positive phase of the Arctic
Oscillation, thick ice tends to move out
of the Arctic through Fram Strait, leav-
ing the Arctic with thinner ice that melts
out more easily in summer. Scientists
will be watching closely for this con-
nection if the positive phase of the
Arctic Oscillation continues through the
winter.
Some scientists have speculated that
the negative Arctic Oscillation pattern
of the last two winters was in part driv-
en by low sea ice extent. The recurrence
of the positive phase of the Arctic
Oscillation so far this winter, following
a near-record low summer sea ice extent,
does not support this thinking.
By the way, the AO has trended back
to neutral and should stay close to or
slightly below that through early
February.
Why Sea Ice Extent might be
Important
Recent Studies have concluded a
sharp rise in Extreme Weather has
been linked to low sea ice including a
reconfiguration of large scale jet stream
pattern and flooding that results from
this.
Weather Trends Ahead
Yet another potent Saint Lawrence
Valley Tracking storm will deliver much
colder air and change any rain showers
to snow showers and squalls today
(Wednesday). This weather system like
many predecessors this year, will move
out as quickly as it moved in with
colder temperatures in the middle teens
ending not too far from zero by Thursday
morning. This transition to colder
weather will likely be accompanied by
some flurry and snow squall activity but
not nearly so much as last Friday Nights
episode.
The Sunniest day this week may be
Thursday with a weak ridge of higher
pressure cruising through, but the
weather changes will likely continue
into the weekend. The next weather
maker will be far weaker with just a few
light snow showers or flurries Thursday
night and Friday morning.
Another Warm Air Intrusion on the
way
Similar to a Bermuda high pressure
system, warmer air will curl in around
the departing high pressure system once
again, from northern Mexico and Texas.
This should warm temperatures consid-
erably into the 30s by Sunday and into
the first half of next week.
Arctic sea ice extent in December 2011 averaged 12.38 million square kilometers (4.78
million square miles). This is the third lowest December ice extent in the 1979 to 2011
satellite data record, 970,000 square kilometers (375,000 square miles) below the 1979 to
2000 average extent. Ice extent was particularly low on the Atlantic side of the Arctic,
most notably in the Barents and Kara seas. The eastern coast of Hudson Bay did not
freeze entirely until late in the month: normally, Hudson Bay has completely frozen over
by the beginning of December. In the Bering Sea, ice extent was slightly above average.

Put These Home
Improvements
On Your
2012 Calendar
(MS) -- With the deepfreeze
factor at its annual high, the
potential benefits of making
energy saving improvements
really hit home. Yet saving
energy and money and adding
comfort to your home should
always be in season. Be sure to
put these home improvement
tips on your 2012 calendar:
Winter
* Install affordable plastic win-
dow-sealing kits, especially
where you feel drafts.
* Install foam gaskets behind
electrical outlets and switches
to reduce air leakage.
* Close the fireplace damper
tightly when its not in use. If
you use your fireplace regular-
ly, consider adding a well-
designed insert.
* Replace or clean furnace fil-
ters at least once every three
months.
Spring
* Consider larger home
improvements, like replacing
windows that are best com-
pleted when the weather is
nice. Consider adding spray
foam insulation (like innova-
tive Icynene) to your attic or in
other areas of your home where
the summer heat can infiltrate.
You can start saving up to 50
percent in energy costs all year
long.
* Is your air conditioner old or
on its last legs? Before things
heat up, consider investing in
an energy efficient Energy Star-
rated unit. Consult an expert to
ensure the size of the unit is
properly matched to the needs
of your home.
Summer
* Add window coverings to
block sunlight during the day,
so your air conditioner doesnt
have to work as hard.
* Replace inefficient incandes-
cent lighting with more effi-
cient compact fluorescent or
LED lighting that also produce
less heat.
* Check your hot water tank. If
its warm to the touch, it might
need some extra insulation.
Check your home improvement
store for inexpensive pre-cut
tank jackets or blankets.
Fall
* Check insulation levels where
you can, like the attic or the
floor of a room over the garage.
If you didnt get to it in the
spring, install spray foam insu-
lation to seal around openings
and penetrations that let air
flow in and out of your home.
* Use caulking, sealant and
weather-stripping to create a
barrier against air and water
around doorframes, windows
and baseboards. Choose the
right caulking for the surface.
