The People's Health & Wellness Clinic, central Vermont's free clinic for the uninsured and underinsured, is set to re-open at 553 North Main Street, Barre, on Wednesday, August 31. Gutted by the severe flooding that hit the region on May 26 and 27, Clinic staff, volunteers, and contractors have worked steadily to clean and renovate the space. Clinic Director Peter Youngbaer said, It's certainly been a challenge all around. The building sustained a lot of damage, and we lost a lot of equipment, supplies, medicine, and furnishings. Thanks to our many generous donors, local businesses, efficient contractors, and volunteers, we've been able to make great progress in a very short time frame. The Clinic has been operating out of temporary facilities donated by Central Vermont Medical Center. They closed for several days at the end of business last Thursday to accomplish the move. Youngbaer cautioned that patients calling the Clinic prior to this Wednesday will hear a voice mail message advising them what to do in the interim, but will be unable to leave messages. Patients may also check the Clinic website: www.phwcvt.org for additional information. The Clinic is planning an Open House in the near future so the public can see the renovations.

Norwich University officials announced that engineering students placed first in the region and fourth overall in the 2011 international PCI Engineering Student Design Competition, also known as the Big Beam Contest. Norwich University is the smallest institution in the competition to win in its zone, which includes all the eastern states from Virginia to Maine. The other zone winners have an average of 29,000 students (ranging from 16,000-51,000) compared to 2,100 at Norwich. In addition, this is only the second year that Norwich has participated in this competition. Previous winners in this zone include VPI, West Point, Clarkson University, U-Mass Amherst, Tufts, Virginia Tech, Lehigh University and Pennsylvania State University. Organized by PCI's Student Education Committee, and sponsored by Sika Corp., the Big Beam Contest entails the design, fabrication and testing of precast, prestressed concrete beams by student teams under the guidance of local PCI producer members. Prizes are awarded for most efficient design, highest load capacity, and best report, among multiple categories. First place winners of the zone competitions move on to the international
competition to be judged against one another to determine the overall champion. This competition tests students ability to create innovative, but economical, designs, said Schmeckpeper, the Norwich teams faculty advisor. Since the students fabricate their own beam, starting with the formwork, they learn about all the practical requirements for good design. Finally, when the students test their beam, they get a chance to compare their calculations to the actual strength of the beam, and observe the behavior of the beam in a real life situation." The Norwich University Big Beam team will receive $1,250 for its efforts. The Norwich University Big Beam team consisted of these students: Daniel Gosselin, Nicola Suren, Logan Bessette, Austin Brochetti, and Seth Knihtila. Adam Sevi and Edwin Schmeckpeper served as the faculty advisors for the team. Joe Carrara and Benjamin Cota, of J.P. Carrara & Sons of Middlebury, provided guidance and material support to the team.

Families across Vermont are preparing to send their children back to school with new book bags and school supplies. Back to school is also a time for some of the 30 million American adults who cannot read beyond a third grade level to consider taking steps to overcome their literacy challenges. Many of these adults find ways to hide this fact from their coworkers and friendseven their own families. Common avoidance techniques include finding an excuse to steer clear of reading aloud, hiding their writing from others, or committing everything to memory to avoid jotting things down. As children and teens go back to school this year, this is the perfect time for adults in need of educational services to take this important step to simply ask for help, said Gale Rome, Volunteer/ Communications Coordinator at Central Vermont Adult Basic Education (CVABE). Our organization helps students of any age and any educational background to address their literacy challenges. Central Vermont Adult Basic Education, a non-profit organization based in Barre, and serving Washington, Orange and Lamoille counties is part of the ProLiteracy network of adult literacy and basic education organizations focused on improving adult literacy rates in communities around the country. CVABE serves more than 800 adult learners each year and has served the resident of the tricounty region for nearly 45 years. Instructors and volunteer teachers at CVABE work one-on-one or in small group settings with adults who need help with their basic reading, writing, math, and computer skills. English as a second language, earning a high school diploma, and preparing for a job or for college can also be addressed in CVABEs free programs. Adults are just as entitled to an education as their children or grandchildren, said David C. Harvey, president and CEO of ProLiteracy, one of the nations largest nonprofit organizations dedicated to advancing the cause of adult literacy and basic education. Being open to receiving literacy instruction can transform any lifeincluding the life of an adult. Literacy at any age also has the power to transform families and whole communities. ProLiteracy has 1,000 member programs in all 50 states and the District of Columbia and works with 50 in-country grassroots organizations in more than 30 developing countries. As a member of ProLiteracy, Central Vermont Adult Basic Education champions the power of literacy to improve the lives of adults and their families, communities, and societies.

Armando Lopez, MD
am not one of those greedy Yankee fans who demands a World Series title every year. I consider this season a success even though I am resigned to the fact that it is not going to end in a championship. The 2011Yankees are a solid, likable, winning team. They simply dont have championship-caliber pitching. CC Sabathia is a bona fide ace and Yankee fans rightly love him. But one great starter no matter how amazing he is is not enough to win The World Series. Just ask the 09 Phillies Or the 2010 Phillies. The rest of New Yorks starting staff is respectable but mediocre. Phil Hughes is over-rated. Ivan Nova is terrific, but hes still a rookie. I am grateful for how many solid innings Bartolo Colon gave the team this year, but he is out of gas now and should probably move to the bullpen (or retire). I can accept the fact that New York does not have a one/two punch to match up with Halladay/Lee or Beckett/Lester. What makes me angry is that I still have to see AJ Burnett every fifth day. It was indeed a dark day for Yankee fans when AJ Burnett discovered a rare VHS copy of the embarrassing German porno that General Manager Brian Cashman and Owner Hank Steinbrenner made together during the 1980s. Because it is clear that Burnett has been using that secret tape to blackmail the team. I mean, I assume that is what happened. Why else did they sign Burnett to a long-term contract for $82.5 million? Why else do they keep him in the rotation even though hes a proven loser who can never be trusted in a big game? All that money is already down the drain so its time to cut our losses. The wise move would
Yankees Report
be to release the bum now and pay him to blow leads and throw shaving cream pies and get nasty-looking arm tattoos in some other city for the next two years. But Burnett remains in New York and continues to pitch, presumably because of the blackmail. The Burnett debacle drives me crazy. However, I have nothing but good things to say about the rest of the team. In addition to being the Bronx Bombers, they have suddenly become the Bronx Base-Stealers. The Yankees actually lead the league in stolen bases thanks to Brett The Jet Gardner and fearless rookie Eduardo Nunez. And thanks to the amazing arm of Russell Martin, New York can finally stop other teams from being aggressive on the basepaths. I thought Derek Jeter was washed up based on his pathetic production during the first half of the year. I am happy that the Captain is proving me wrong. Lately he looks more like the Derek Jeter of old, rather than like OLD Derek Jeter. The one Yankee who has stepped up his game in 2011 is Curtis Granderson. He is now an allaround offensive dynamo. Granderson is exactly who we want to become the new face of the franchise. Granderson is not a controversial figure. He is a smart, hardworking, humble, stand-up guy. Just like everyone in Red Sox Nation is pro-Youkilis, Yankees Universe is rallying around the Grandyman. The 2011 New York Yankees have a solid bullpen (yay Robertson!), a line-up filled up with uniquely talented athletes (yay Cano!), and a roster packed with professional ballplayers who genuinely want to help the team (except Posada). They do not have the championship magic of the 09 club, but I am proud to be Yankee fan and I have been enjoying the season thoroughly.

of Vermont music. Donovan recalled two of his most unforgettable moments at the station the passing of Rusty Parker and the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Rusty Parker hired me, Donovan said. He was a great guy. Everybody loved him. He was the morning guy, the most famous radio personality in Vermont. He was with WDEV for 40 years before suffering a heart attack on the air. I was at my desk on September 11, 2001 and Eric (Radio Vermont General Manager) Michaels was in the newsroom winding up the News Hour. I looked up at the TV monitor and saw the flames coming from the North Tower. Eric looked over and said, this is huge. We were wall-to-wall coverage immediately. It was a defining moment. As for some of the most memorable live musical performances Donovans experienced in Vermont - Two concerts that come to mind were seeing Johnny Cash and the Carter Family and Harry Belafonte, both at the Barre Opera House. What impresses me about Jacks tenure with WDEV is not just his longevity, though 39-consecutive-years hosting the same radio program is legendary, but his consistent daily professionalism, Eric Michaels said. Jacks on-air persona is very much a reflection of the individual: warm, caring, friendly and seemingly never in a hurry. Yet his broadcasting life has always been subject to the dictates of the clock all of his programs managed down to the very last second. At the American Legion in Waterbury, Jack has provided his glib talent to emcee the USO variety shows for years, Michaels continued. Theres no doubt in my mind that with his melodic voice and warm personality, Jack could have been very successful in a larger radio market. I think were all fortunate that Jack decided to share his career with us grateful listeners of WDEV. I get asked how, or why, I stayed so long, Donovan reflected. For one, I was given the freedom to do what I wanted to do. And, I only worked under three Managers throughout my whole career Rusty Parker, Tom Beardsley and Eric Michaels. WDEV is like a family. If you ever had a dispute, you made up and moved on. Ive worked with Jack for the past 29 years, Traffic Director Kia Commo said. Jack is a nice man, a genuinely nice man a gentleman. I think that comes across on the radio. And why hes so liked by the listeners. Hes easy going and comfortable to be around. Hes someone you want to invite into your home every afternoon and have a cup of coffee with. I dont want to go cold turkey, Donovan said. Im going to work Saturdays 9-12 after we get back from Dublin and Killarney.

Program: Energy for jobs Idea: We can make Vermont attractive to manufacturing with a combination of our great workforce and energy which is cheap (and clean) by East Coast standards. Manufacturing provides jobs for all skill levels and is an engine for economic growth in general. Low cost energy also makes Vermont more affordable. The Five-Step Subsidy-Free Program: (unique Vermont advantages in italics) 1. Canadian hydro power. Work with Canadian producers to have electricity routed through Vermont as it goes south. Pre-permit to take advantage of New Hampshire delays on approval. Part of the deal is exible access to part of the load at attractive rates. Were a border state. 2. Natural gas. Pre-permit both the expansion of Vermont Gas south from Burlington and a corridor for Marcellus Shale gas supply from Whitehall to Rutland and eventually beyond. Create standard permits for gas cogeneration giving both heat and low-cost electricity. Look for private investors (EB5?) to build a good-sized natural gas to electricity plant in Rutland area. Switch the state eet and buildings, schools and school buses along the pipeline route to natural gas (helps incent pipeline and fuelling station builders without subsidy AND saves operating expense and reduces CO2). Buildings can do cogen as well. See if Interstate corridors can be used for NG pipelines to the rest of the state. It looks like NG will be a low cost direct energy and electricity source for a long time to come. Its domestic. Its much cleaner than oil. Were near the Marcellus Shale formation. 3. Off-peak electricity. Use the Smart Grid to offer great deals on way off-peak electricity to businesses and residences. Clever
manufacturers may save their energy intensive processes for night and displace other fuels; citizens can save money perhaps even by plugging in cars off-peak as prices for plugins fall (subsidies are cheating!). Increasing off-peak demand and attening the load curve lets Vermont power companies increase their electricity purchases at low base load rather than peak rates and further brings down the cost of electricity. Vermont is on track be the rst state in the nation with full Smart Grid coverage. 4. Nuclear power. Allow the Public Service Board to move ahead on Yankees relicensing while planning to replace it in ten years with a much more modern and efcient plant, which incorporates all the lessons learned in nuclear power. We have a paid-for nuclear site with needed infrastructure and extremely low current cost of electricity and a distribution grid radiating out from it. 5. Energy efciency projects. Direct all state energy efciency dollars from whatever source to projects with actual dollar and cents benets to taxpayers and with paybacks less than 10 years. Hire private businesses to do the work using competitive bidding but dont subsidize them. This means making state building, vehicles, and state-supported resources like schools and affordable housing energy efcient, as is now being done in Barre and some other locations. Insulation, solar hot water and geothermal would denitely be in; solar photovoltaic would be out unless and until cost effective. We have biomass, wells and ponds for geothermal heat pumps, and unshaded rooftops for panels for solar hot water. Our location, work force, existing nuclear plant, Smart Grid head start, and rural environment can be unique advantages. Its up to us, all of us, whether we take advantage of them or not. Good thing for our legislature to concentrate on this year. Stowe resident Tom Evslin was recently Vermonts Chief Technology Ofcer. His blog is at fractalsofchange.com.

Whats Micro Dimming/Plus? Is Razor LED lighting something I care about? Should I just go with the Motion Flow? Does anybody have any aspirin? You can ease your headache with a visit to Retrevo.coms HDTV model decoder (retrevo.com/samples/HDTV-Decoder. html). The shopping site defines marketing terms _ youll learn what Samsungs Micro Dimming/Plus is, as well as Vizios Razor LED lighting and Sonys Motion Flow _ but the most helpful feature tells you the differences among a brands product lines. So youll know what separates LGs LK, LV and LW models. Retrevo does that for five other HDTV brands: Panasonic, Samsung, Sony and Vizio.

If your machine is slowing down, dont shell out for a new computer till youve considered using Crucial.coms System Scanner (crucial.com/systemscanner ), a small program that checks out your computer to suggest memory upgrades for better performance. Sam Harmer, a PR guy for Crucial, tells me the computer data gathered by the System Scanner is not stored or transmitted back to Crucial or anyone else. However, the Terms and Conditions Agreement youre asked to read before downloading the System Scanner makes no mention of what happens to your data. Crucial is a trusted, longtime name in memory, but I point this out in the interest of full disclosure. Time for a data diet? Wireless operators data plans usually limit you to 2 gigabytes of data a month before charging you for overages. So if at the end of the month you check your phone to find youre closing in on your limit, Opera, maker of the very popular Opera Mini mobile browser, offers this tips: _ Open the full email only if necessary. Open email attachments sparingly, if at all. _ Manage your apps hunger for mobile data. Disable push notifications. _ Consider using a smart mini browser, like Opera Mini. These keep you from downloading too much data to your phone. _ If your streaming-music service offers the option, use your locally-stored playlist when on the go. Rhapsody fits this category. _ Update and download apps over WiFi. _ Consider using mobile-friendly webpages. Our research shows they shave off a significant amount of data that otherwise would count against your cap. _ Turn off images when nearing your cap. Most browsers make it easy. _ Avoid HD video on YouTube when browsing on a mobile connection. Just 10inutes of HD video per day fills a standard 2GB plan.

Facebook is not just for finding your best friend from high school or whiling away the hours playing Farmvillesix Vermontbased charities recently discovered how it can be effectively used to help those in need. VSECU (Vermont State Employees Credit Union) donated $10,000 to the six charities through an employee directed giving program called We Care 2. The Central Vermont Humane Society received $5,000, while five other charities, Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice, the Vermont Chapter of the Alzheimers Association, Prevent Child Abuse Vermont, Camp Ta-Kum-Ta and Project Independence in Barre, each received $1,000. From the beginning of the employee directed giving program, VSECU hoped to engage Vermonters around the state in a discussion about how the $10,000 should be distributed. Even though it would be VSECU employees who would choose the charities, they wanted to give others outside the credit union the opportunity to suggest charities and why they should be supported. Our Board of Directors understands that our staff is working with members and Vermonters from all over the state. Instead of them directing part of our giving budget to entities in need, they wanted our staff to be part of that identification process, said Yvonne Garand, VSECUs vice president of Business Development. Ultimately, it was up to our employees to choose which charities would receive the funding set aside by our Board, but they wanted to hear from the community, too. According to Garand, VSECU determined that the most accessible way for people across the state to weigh in on the We Care 2 program was through its Facebook page, A Banking Co-op for all Vermonters. Through Facebook, our employees were able to gain a wider knowledge of the charities available for Vermonters, Garand said. Our employees wanted to hear from the community hoping to gather some recommendations. Employees created a video and posted it on Facebook asking Vermonters to submit charities for our staff to consider. In addition, using Facebook gave these charities another forum to promote their causes to the community. The overall response was amazing. VSECU created an electronic submission form for Facebook users. For people not on Facebook, suggestions could be submitted on paper at branch locations. Nearly 440 online suggestions and 40 suggestions on paper were submitted over the course of one
Do you want to own your own business? Cecile Johnston, Intake Specialist at Central Vermont Community Action Councils Micro Business Development Program, sees aspiring entrepreneurs every day. Everyone is different, says Johnston. There are so many people with amazing ideas. But the idea is the easy part. Starting a business requires a lot of knowledge and skills such as creating a marketing plan, cash flow analysis, creating contracts, and understanding customer service. Thats where the Micro Business Program comes in. We offer an incredible support system for people starting up or taking their business to the next level. We have business counselors, classes, and information on our website about business operation and where to get help if you need it."
month. Several charities actively campaigned for their causes, urging their staff and clients to submit suggestions and write on VSECUs Facebook wall. According to Linda Johnson, executive director of Prevent Child Abuse Vermont, the We Care 2 campaign was another way to let the community know about her charity. I want to thank everyone who participated in this very special VSECU event, she said. All the charities involved make our community the great place it is, to live and work. At PCAV, we are here to help every child in Vermont thrive at home, in their school and community. Again, thank you, VSECU members and friends for supporting us all! During the month of July, VSECU employees using Facebook could read and consider the wall posts. All suggestions, both online and on paper, were also posted on the VSECU employee intranet, and in early August, employees were asked to submit their charity of choice where five rounds of employee voting followed narrowing the field until the final six were selected. Some of our employees were very passionate about their charities and were actively promoting them to their co-workers, Garand said. Just like community members who shared their stories and enthusiasm for charities, our employees engaged in the same online community conversation by utilizing our internal blog during the voting process. You could see where employees were talking to each other about why certain charities should be considered. I am so glad to be a part of a company that is giving back to the community, said Pattie Dupuis, who works in VSECUs mortgage department. I voted for the Central Vermont Home Health and Hospice because they provided such compassionate support to my family when my father was dying of cancer. We lost him last March, but he was able to die with dignity. Hospice was there for my father and for my family. I am glad I was able to be a part of funding their continued efforts. Garand says she hopes the We Care 2 program can continue. Our employees really enjoyed the opportunity to help their fellow Vermonters, she said, and using social media made it an interesting experience. We are just now discovering the power of social media to engage VSECU members and non-members around the state.

The March of Dimes Vermont State Chapter has awarded a community grant of $6,500 to support the Teen Parent Program of the Washington County Youth Service Bureau/Boys & Girls Club. March of Dimes sponsor NorthCountry Federal Credit Union is presenting the grant award to respond to the serious risks faced by pregnant teens and low-income women. The program focuses on improving access to community and support services, health care and education. This grant is one of many that the March of Dimes awards in pursuit of its mission to prevent birth defects, premature birth and infant mortality. Pregnant teens are more likely to have a baby born too soon or too small and deaths among newborns are higher among teen mothers, said Roger Clapp, State Director of the March of Dimes Vermont Chapter. Pregnant teens face a broad array of risks that can be harmful to their unborn children including stress, smoking, alcohol and drug use, poor nutrition, domestic violence and lack of social support. Through this program, we want to promote healthy peer support, educate women about risk reduction strategies, and provide better access health care so that more women can get early and adequate perinatal care, said Joy Spontak, Teen Parent Program Coordinator. We are grateful to those volunteers and organizations such as NorthCountry Federal Credit Union that support the March of Dimes by participating in events like March for Babies. That participation and those donations make this grant possible, she said. NorthCountry Federal Credit Union has joined March of Dimes as the presenting sponsor of their two Signature Chefs Auction events this Fall, and is the designated local sponsor of the 2011 grant award. This is one more way that NorthCountry Federal Credit Union can work with March of Dimes and local service providers to improve the health of babies and young mothers in our state, said John Benoit, President and CEO of NorthCountry Federal Credit Union. The March of Dimes is the leading nonprofit organization for pregnancy and baby health and Vermont has received the top rating in the country in reducing premature birth over the past three years. With chapters nationwide and its premier event, March for Babies SM, the March of Dimes works for stronger, healthier babies.

The summer season got off to a slow start, but July and early August were filled with out of state license plates. Many of the vehicles have been decorated with bicycle racks. By about any measure, biking is popular. Cyclists are seen regularly along a number of Central Vermont roadways. Back Road Bike Tour guides are being plucked from brochure racks and information centers. The parking area for Millstone Trails has a steady flow of vehicles. Whether for exercise, scenery, or both and more, enjoying the state atop two wheels has a pretty good following, and a nice mix of visitors and local residents. More than 10,000 Central Vermont Back Road Bike Tour brochures have been distributed. The Chambers interstate rest area and welcome center distributor requested additional copies in August.
CENTRAL VERMONT CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
Several local businesses have asked for more after their racks were depleted. Chamber staff will be on the road again this week delivering countertop racks that hold four brochures, the regional visitors guide, downtown Historic Walking Tours, biking guides and city street maps. The racks are free and require less than a square foot of counter space. Area businesses that want the display can contact the Central Vermont Chamber of Commerce at 229-5711. The guide has nine routes mapped by the Central Vermont Regional Planning Commission and ranging from five to more than 20 miles each. Several of the routes intersect to facilitate longer rides. Some are short and gentle ideal for family riding while others are more suitable only for experienced riders. Needless to say, automobiles and bicycles often share the same blacktop. Be alert for bikes and courteous to riders.

Editor: Whether the devices be hand-held or otherwise, the use of all cell phones as well as other such devices by anyone operating a moving vehicle should be banned within the State of Vermont, no exceptions. The only thing one should be doing is focusing on the road, nothing else. One questions why current laws, policies and regulations do not already restrict what one is allowed to do during the operation of a moving vehicle without requiring new laws to specifically spell out and restrict such. However, if new legislation and law is required to address these
matters, what the state legislature should seriously consider doing is to pass a bill leading to the further clarification of existing laws, policies and regulations governing what is allowed as well as not allowed to be engaged in while operating any moving vehicle, including bicycles. Restricting what one can and can not do along these lines would be better than attempting to pass an outright ban on the use of specific devices in such cases. Although it might seem to be the same thing, it is using a different approach to achieve the same result, doing so focused more on the behavior in question rather than the device itself. This is because it is not the devices that are the problem, but rather the person's use of these and other distractions when they are operating a moving vehicle. The fact is not all vehicle operators are prone to exercise good judgement unless and until there are specific regulations about what is allowable and what is not as well as severe consequences clearly laid out in law and then made known about what will result if one fails to comply.

n these days of facebook and countless other means of worldwide social networking, I suppose that a column dealing with email might seem a bit outdated, and even antiquated. (How could that have happened so quickly?) Im going to write this column anyway, as I too am a bit outdated and antiquated and, thus, feel quite qualied to do so. My hope is that there are a few people left out there who can identify with what Im going to say. I check my email several times a day. Its not that I need to do this, as what I receive is at least ninety percent forwarded jokes and spam. My mailbox is usually full of this interesting but unnecessary stuff, just as my physical mailbox is usually full of junk mail. One nice thing about the emailed stuff is that you dont have to physically throw it away. It adds nothing to a persons trash bill or landll footprint, if there is such a thing, and I would bet the farm that there is. I check my email because I enjoy doing so. Sometimes I get actual notes from friends and relatives, but mostly its just forwards and spam. Now dont get me wrong, and dont stop sending me things because they are forwards. Most of them are fun to read, and I happen to like spam. (Did you know that it takes the meat of nearly three little farm-raised spam critters just to ll one of those small cans? I think I read that someplace, but maybe not.) I do feel, for us face-less, face-book-less people, that it is still important to understand the email we get, including forwards. Thus, the purpose of this column. Below I have listed a few futile rules which may be helpful in forward thinking: 1. If you receive an email forward from someone and return a compliment about that forward, you will denitely receive more forwards. 2. If you receive a forward from someone and dont return a compliment about that forward, you will still denitely receive more forwards. 3. If you receive a forward and tell the sender that you did not appreciate the forward, you will, regardless of that fact, denitely
Forward Thinking
By G. E. Shuman
receive more forwards 4. If you reply, agreeing with the senders added comments about a forward, you may or may not receive a smiley-face reply or some other cute thing, and you will denitely receive more forwards. 5. If a forward you receive from a friend has one of those warnings at the end, stating that if you do not forward the forward to at least ten people something terrible will happen to you, please believe it. (Nice friends you have there.) The terrible thing that will happen is that you will denitely receive more forwards. Of course, if you do forward the forward to ten people you will have instilled a fear of possible death, or worse, in some of them, and will still denitely receive more forwards, including the one you just sent them. 6. If a forward you receive tells you to send it on to ten of your friends, and states that if you do so, you will receive an unbelievably funny or profound reply, dont do it. You will never get the funny reply. You will just have annoyed ten your friends by making them have to decide if they should forward the forward to get the reply. As payback, you will denitely receive more forwards. The math is simple. Forward a forwarded letter and you will play a part in immortalizing and rapidly multiplying that letter on into the near innity of time and space. It will be almost like raising a pair of rabbits, as there is no such thing as a pair of rabbits. If you dont forward it, you will become one small cog in the wheel of effort to not allow forwards to take over the email universe. Either way, your efforts will cost you nothing, not even a stamp. If there was a cost, you would not have received the forward in the rst place. None of your friends would actually pay to send you junk mail. So, barring forwarding things that are in poor taste, whats the harm? Forward away, or throw it away, remembering that email junk cant harm the landll. Just realize that, whatever you do, you will denitely receive more forwards.

The WORLD
am writing this column because, sad to say, I no longer have any girl children! I heard about this idea a long time ago but have never had the opportunity to do it! So, I am going to share it with you. And when you decide to do it, I want to hear about it. When I was a girl (I know you are saying that was back when dinosaurs roamed the earth), when we were invited to a birthday party, it was a big deal. Everyone, and I mean everyone, put on their party clothes and were on their best behavior. We also always ate everything that was offered. And that meant every single morsel of cake and ice cream. But you have to remember, we didnt have either cake or ice cream very often so it was a big treat. We played games and once in a blue moon, the party giver had movies for us to watch! Boy, I remember thinking that being able to watch movies in someones home was a treat beyond compare! Now-a-days, parties are just not the same. I dont think that many children are encouraged to wear party clothes and cake and ice cream are just same old, same old. Parties now include clowns, ponies, blow-up jumping houses and all sorts of entertainment. But I think it must be the rare host or hostess who can offer something for their party that hasnt been done before. Birthday parties, as well as so many thing these days, have become a must do rather than a wondrous event. But, fear not, I have a super idea for the party-giver who wants to be different. And here is what I suggest This particular party is only for girls! And I really think it will work best with younger girls, oh about 5 to 10 but you can decide for yourself. First and foremost, when you send out the invitation, you must ask each girl to come to the party in their party or dress-up clothes. Right away you can see that this will be a different type of party! Before the girls arrive, you have to prepare a special place for them to work at. And in that special work space you have to have lots of stuff, like artificial flowers, ribbon, glitter, jewels, feathers and just about anything and everything that can be used to decorate with. Now, as the girls arrive, each one is given a plain straw hat. And once everyone has arrived and has their hat, they are shown the work table, where they are encouraged to decorate their own hat. A few adults around will be a good idea too. The use of a glue gun makes the assembly of the hats easier and that is where the

adults probably should come in and help. Plain old glue does work but it is a lot messier! The little girls can use as much or as little decoration as they want and the only way the adults help is to make attaching the decorations easier and more permanent. Once the hats are finished, the girls are told to put them on and wear them to the special tea which you have prepared. Now, this is the important part decorate the table or several smaller tables with real cloth tablecloths, your good dishes and flatware and of course, lovely centerpieces of real flowers, The more oldfashioned tea like atmosphere you present the better. And the menu should be small, little crust-off, tea sandwiches. All tastefully arranged on presentation platters. Cups of tea or lemonade would also be appropriate. When the birthday cake or birthday cupcakes are brought in, it should also be a very grown-up presentation. What you are presenting is a sort of high tea for little girls! And the more formal you make it the more fun it will be. And the guests will all be wearing their best party clothes and wearing big, highly decorated hats! What could be better? And I absolutely guarantee that this party will be the hit of the season. Instead of having wild sugar-saturated children, all pushing and shoving to be the first to be entertained, you will have a bevy of little girls who will not only be enjoying themselves but making a memory that they will never forget! Now I know that many of you might think that this isnt a bad idea but that after the hats and the hat decorating, you think that preparing a tea party is just too much work. And to use your best china and silver? And for little girls? Just too much. But folks, that is the most important part! No one wants to bother to prepare such a party these days, and that is why it will be such a success! Once dressed in their best and wearing their gorgeous headgear, the guests at your party will astound you with their prim and proper behavior as they eat their little dainty sandwiches and drink their tea. I know it is easier to hire a clown but really, does anyone enjoy a clown? If you want to be thought of as innovative and clever, give your young girl a chance to behave like her great-grandmother! When you plan your party and have sent out your tea party invitations and instructions, call or write to me because I just cant wait to hear how it is received. And as soon as I have a wonderful hat, maybe I could come too! Bon appetit!

Senate Report:
arre was the first community in Vermont to celebrate Labor Day. This took place at the Green Mountain Trotting Park (present location of Spaulding High School) on September 7, 1895. The event was sponsored by the Barre Granite Cutters Union. There were many speakers that day, and one prominent speaker spoke in the Italian language. A Barre newspaper, The Barre City Leader, reported that the park was well fitted for the occasion with swings and hammocks. There was a large pavilion for dancing with the music being furnished by the Barre Coronet Band. In the morning there was a baseball game between the two strongest teams in the state, followed by a football game. The Barre City Rangers defeated the Montreal Mohawks 6-0. There were several races including a bicycle race, hundred yard dash for boys, a 220 yard dash for men, a girls race under 12, and a womens race. In addition, there was an apple sack race and a game of quoits which was popular at the time. In 1898, the Vermont Legislature made Labor Day a legal holiday. On September 4, 1899, there was a Labor Day celebration at Cherry Dale Park, a trolley stop near the present shopping center on the Barre Montpelier Road. According to The Barre Evening Telegram, special trains brought in a huge crowd of 4,500 people. There was dancing in the large pavilion with popcorn, candy and cigars being sold at a booth. One speaker titled his address, Labor, Militant and Triumphant. Also speaking that day was Rep. George T. Swasey of Barre, who sponsored the Labor Day legislation. Swasey said, It is a matter of satisfaction to me that I had the honor of introducing the bill in the Vermont Legislature that became law, fixing the first Monday in September as a day to be set apart for the benefit and enjoyment of all laboring people, and in honor of that branch of industry that is the foundation of our national prosperity. Barre Mayor John W. Gordon also spoke: We are predominantly a nation of laborers. Today we have 70 million workers, and no nation has so small a number of idlers as we. Every hand accomplishes something. Think of the labor that was necessary to subdue this country, and years to develop the country as far west as the Missis-

God saw you were getting tired, and a cure was not to be So he put his arm around you and whispered, Come with me. With tearful eyes we watched you suffer, and saw you fade away. Although we loved you deeply, we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hardworking hands to rest, God broke our hearts to prove to us he only takes the best.
We Miss You...your loving family Mom & Dad, Michael & Theresa, Randy & Barb, Rowdie, Gregory, Darlene, Christopher -Forever in our Hearts -

RITVO, JAMES MEYERS, passed away on August 10. He will be remembered as an exceptionally smart, compassionate and delightfully funny man who approached the world with unshakeable kindness. No one can recall Jim saying a harsh word about anyone, with the exception of a few politicians, criminals and the occasionally careless Patriot, Celtic or Red Sox player. Jim's world centered on his adored wife Marjorie and their children, Jesse and Molly. Jim was born in 1946 in Newton, Mass. He graduated from Tufts University and was awarded a master's degree in Urban Affairs from St. Louis University. His law degree was from Boston University College of Law. In 1975, he and Marjorie moved to Vermont and Jim began a 30-year private law practice which specialized in helping families negotiate the legal system. His courtroom brilliance and his devotion to people in need merged with an antic but gentle sense of humor and earned him the nickname of "St. Jim." Jim was the president and one of the founders of Woodbury College in Montpelier. His dedication to justice attracted excellent faculty colleagues and set Woodbury College on its course toward providing educational, legal and family services to its students and clients. Many remember "132 Main," Jim's weekly show on cable access TV. He interviewed, with charm and delicacy, many people who have contributed to the richness of our lives in Vermont. His documentary films include "One Family: An Ethiopian Adoption"; "The Red Wagon: Facing Hunger"; "On the Edge: Holes in the Vermont Health Care Safety Net"; and several films about art and education in Vermont. Jim felt that the elements of being a good lawyer - being able to tell a client's story convincingly to a judge and jury - were directly applicable to documentary film making. As deeply serious as his commitments were to the public good, Jim knew how to have fun. Sitting with friends and family at his dining room table, Jim told hugely entertaining stories. He celebrated his 40th birthday with a big party at a roller skating rink. He spent Sunday mornings walking, swimming, skiing, watching baseball games and developing elaborate baseball statistics, always in the company of family and often his three especially dear friends, Steve Pitonyak, Peter Collins and Bob Buchicchio. Jim was wise, patient and calm, which made him an exceptional listener and mentor. In Yiddish there is the word "mensch" to describe the decency, honor, warmth, kindness, intelligence and steadfast character that one finds only in people who are beloved. Jim was a mensch. His life has added to the sum of good in the world.

The WORLD
eart-stopping plunges. Steep climbs and then, whoosh, another dizzying drop. We're not talking about the new roller coaster at your favorite amusement park. We mean the stock market's recent gyrations. The Dow Jones Industrial Average now qualifies as the wildest ride on earth. Scary? You bet. The market's violent swings can threaten your fiscal and physical health. Every 100-point shift increased heart-disease deaths by 5 percent when the Chinese stock market went from boom to bust between 2006 and late 2008. Then last year, Duke researchers connected stock market drops with increases in heart attacks here. Why are the stock market's fast moves so bad for your ticker? Plenty of explanations make sense: Sudden stress can strangle blood flow to the heart, boost blood pressure and speed up heart rates. The flood of stress hormones and racing blood may tear open deposits of gunky plaque in artery walls, causing plaque ruptures and dangerous, even deadly clots. (Yep, that old saying, "It made my blood curdle," was right.) And don't underestimate factors like high saturated-fat stress snacking. Heart attack rates in Los Angeles spiked after a tough Super Bowl loss in 1980 (sorry about the reminder, Rams fans), and researchers suspect buckets of chips, dips and Buffalo wings had something to do with it. Cleveland fans just accept disappointment now, says Dr. Mike! That may be a key to health. Psychologists interviewed during the market's big August swings say they're seeing more insomnia, poor concentration, irritability and excessive tension. It's not a temporary blip. Business-cycle low points have coincided with a rise in depression's most serious risk -- suicide -- ever since the Great Depression, says a new government report. Is your health taking a hit alongside your portfolio? Financial worries are linked with everything from aches and pains to weight gain, fatigue, ulcers, migraines and gastrointestinal upset. While you ride out the economy's latest rough patch, taking these smart steps will ensure that your health -- and maybe your life -- aren't at the mercy of market extremes. Take a deep breath. Convinced you should have bought, sold or stayed put last week/month? Don't let "what if's" make you crazy. Ask almost any financial adviser how to cope with wild market swings and the answer is likely to be: Turn off the business news.
Don't panic. Try to weather the ups and downs calmly. Things eventually will get better. Take the long view, and worry less about day-to-day shifts. Need extra help? Try inhaling calming lavender mixtures. It works for even tenser people: cancer patients enduring lengthy MRI scans. If you're a stress eater (who isn't?), stock up on foods you've been meaning to eat more of. Think apples, tomatoes, spinach, asparagus, peaches, broccoli and grapes. Instead of letting chips 'n' dip sabotage your health, let late summer's farm-stand bounty save it. You'll avoid oodles of calories and fat, and flood your body with healthy plant nutrients that switch on your cells' defense system. Tense? Deploy your favorite stress-reduction technique. Gentle yoga, meditation, listening to classic jazz, deep breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, upbeat affirmations ("my stress is floating away ... I'm calm and relaxed"), a few sessions of cognitive behavioral therapy -- all help many people. Just putting on some quiet music will help; it improves your heart rate and blood pressure. Finding good ways to dial down anxiety can cut your heart-attack danger by 40 percent. Break a sweat. Pulling on your sneaks may be the last thing you want to do right now, but in 10 minutes you'll be glad you did. Exercise busts stress, nurtures a healthy heart and can be more effective than many antidepressants. You get a burst of feel-good chemicals now, and a fresh dose every day you keep it up. Not to mention a trimmer waistline. Write down the good stuff. Keeping a gratitude journal and writing thank-you notes (we do three a day) reminds you (and the recipients) of the good in life. Take signs of depression (yours or another's) seriously. While some symptoms are easy to spot, many of us hesitate to call ourselves "depressed." Don't shrug it off as fatigue or just a bad phase. Feeling intensely bleak for more than two weeks is a signal. Talk with your doc. The market may be down. You don't have to be. *** The YOU Docs, Mehmet Oz, host of "The Dr. Oz Show" and Mike Roizen of Cleveland Clinic, are authors of "YOU: Losing Weight." For more information go to www.RealAge.com.

Parents have been texting me lots of questions about what they can do to reduce the amount of texting their older children and teens are doing during meals, when playing with friends, during homework and even when crossing the street. Well let me see if I can send the right message about when texting is appropriate and when its not. Recent studies suggest that teens send an average of over 3000 texts per month, 43% of teens say they text in class at least once a day even when they are not supposed to, and about the same percentage text during the family dinner. Worse yet, 46% of teens admit to texting when behind the wheel even though this is illegal in both New York and Vermont. So what can you do to prevent these moments from occurring? First tell your children that if they need to text right away, they should pull off the road or stop whatever else they are doing such as walking, running, riding a bike, skateboarding, or driving any kind of vehicle. If someone your child is driving with is texting while driving, teach your children to tell the driver to stop, or suggest they not ride with that person again. Parents, you need to set the example here, and never text while driving with other passengers, especially your own children in the car.
Even if your child is not in a dangerous situation when texting, there are still manners that should be followed. Set ground rules, such as no texting during meals or when in conversations with other family members. If your child must look at a text they were expecting during a conversation, ask them to apologize first and ask permission to do so. If your children violate your texting ground rules, consider removing their phone and text privileges for a week and increasing that duration with each violation. for 8-31 Finally, remind your children to not text anything they are not willing to tellSigns of their someone to face, since their text can be shared with others Dehydration and come back to hurt them even more.

As the weather heats up and outdoor activities increase, make sure to keep yourself adequately hydrated. Dehydration can occur when one loses too many fluids and/or hasn't taken in enough fluids. Signs of dehydration include headache, dry mouth, urinating very little or not at all, urine that is very dark yellow and concentrated, inability to produce tears, lethargy, dizziness, light-headedness or sunken eyes. Seek medical attention if you experience these symptoms. Drinking plenty of water is the best way to prevent dehydration.

Girls/Boyz First Mentoring has received a grant from the Vermont Mentoring Collaborative to partner with Berlin Elementary School (BES) to plan for a school-based mentoring program at BES for the 2011-2012 school year. Girls/Boyz First is looking for individuals with a passion for youth to get involved and support this program. Mentors will meet with a student once a week at BES for about an hour, during the student's lunch and recess or possibly before school. Mentors might spend time with their mentee getting to know one another while playing a game, sharing a book, drawing, shooting hoops or playing on the playground together. Mentoring can benefit not only the child but the mentor as well. Research shows that adults that mentor are likely to feel more productive at work, develop core leadership and communication skills, and feel good for having positively influenced another life. To become a mentor or for more information, please contact Wendy Farber, Coordinator of Girls/Boyz First Mentoring at 2294798 or wlsubaru@aol.com.

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
INVITATION
t may seem odd to do a story about an upcoming fundraising project for a summer theatrical series just after the curtain closed for the season Aug. 21, but as the old saying goes, Do it while the iron is hot. Adamant is an amazing little community about seven miles east of Montpelier off County Road that features a world-famous summer music school, Blackfly Festival, weekly Friday night dinners and, like the cherry on an ice cream sundae, a free theatrical series in one of the most beautiful and magical settings in Vermont. QuarryWorks Productions is an activity of the Adamant Community Cultural Foundation and located on the grounds of the Adamant Music School in what was an operating quarry until the early 1970s. Its now called the Phillips Experimental Theater. The main shed has been beautifully renovated into a very workable 50+ seat theater and other adjoining structures for a museum and rehearsal hall tastefully erected and maintained. We do provide space for people to bring picnics to eat before the performance. Some have even celebrated birthdays or engagements during their picnics, say director Michael John Suchomel, producer Frank Suchomel, and set construction and groundskeeper Eric Ryea. Being a non-subscription based production, actors, crew and staff (all local Vermonters) want the experience that they can get in larger theaters, note the three, pointing to the recent three-hour Virginia Woolf undertaking. Auditions start in April and rehearsals the second week in June. This past season included Tenderloin (a musical), The Little Mermaid & the Prince (for young audiences), and The Mousetrap (a drama). There are evening performances Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays (sometimes Sunday), and matinees Saturdays and Sundays all free, thanks to the Adamant Community Cultural Foundation. In an effort to keep this summer series going and to support the Foundation, Mark Gagnon, the very popular magician/hypnotist known as Marko, will be doing a special show on Sunday, Sept. 18 at the 500-seat Johnson State College Performing Arts Center.

Last Weeks Weather Our weather last week preceding Irene was fairly average for this time of year. We started out with a couple cool but partly sunny days followed by trough of lower pressure which brought the region showers and a few thunderstorms Thursday followed by a gorgeous Friday and a very decent day Saturday before high clouds thickened up with the approach of Irene for Saturday. Tropical Strom Irene Irene took a path nearly due north up the eastern sea board making landfall on the coast of North Carolina and heading nearly offshore of Norfolk Virginia. From there Category 1 Irene was unusual in its intensity tracking north just a little east of New York City near John F. Kennedy International Airport. Irene then took a slightly more westward track and through western Vermont crossing near the Green Mountains of northern Vermont around Mount Mansfield. Her effects were widespread power outages with a lull in wind followed by her second half during the evening with more outages due to winds gusting into the 40s and low 50s mph in the region especially notable in the Champlain Valley. However her rains were really the big story with excessive rains of over 8 having fallen at one location east southeast of Bolton just north of I-89. Rainfall locally to the Barre- Montpelier area ranged around 4.5 to 5 and one half inches. Vermont Weather Stats from Last week ending 8-29-11 Monday morning
Highest temperature: 85 Bethel on Friday afternoon the 26th Lowest temperature: 39 Island Pond on Tuesday the 23rd Heaviest rainfall Irene storm total: 8.30 1 ESE Bolton ending Monday morning the 29th Snowfall and depth: none Global Weather Facts For Last Week Last weeks hottest temperature on planet earth was 117 at Needles Ca. Last weeks coldest temperature: minus 105 at Russias Vostok Antarctic research station. Julys Carbon Dioxide levels (CO2) levels are in at 392.39. Compared to previous years, it is up from last Julys reading at 390.11 Julys 2009 was 387.79. Weather Trends Ahead Starting Wednesday, well some great weather for continuing clean up with gradual rise in temperature as we head toward the Weekend. Unfortunately, a trough of lower pressure will arrive roughly along about Saturday providing showers and the chance for thunderstorms then. Tropics Well be watching another important Easterly wave which could be named Katia. This K named storm is the replacement name for Infamous Hurricane Katrina. Some mid to longer range modeling was suggesting an possible threat to the southeast coast of the US during the second week of September.
Hurricane Irene worked north-northeast across Vermont Sunday afternoon and evening bringing power outages but mostly heavy flooding to the state, rivaling in some cases the infamous 1927 flood. Some areas fared better than others, but flooding with over 3 and up to 8.3 inches having fallen along the eastern slopes of the Green Mountains. Shown the modeled rainfall total of Hurricane Irene back on Friday the 26th was very well forecast and it was no surprise. To the right was Irenes track and precipitation up to Sunday morning. Note this is not the total rainfall for a most of Vermont and we will address this and more next week.
