Ten Supervisory Unions Districts Selected for


Special Education Review

Ten supervisory unions and supervisory


districts throughout Vermont were selected
for a Special Education Services Review, the
Vermont Agency of Education announced
today. The project will review current practices for the delivery of special education
services against research-based best practices
under a contract with the District Management
Council (DMC).
This project is authorized in Sec. 4 of Act
148 (2016). The law requires the Agency
select at least three supervisory unions or
supervisory districts with an average daily
membership (ADM) of 1,500 students or
more, and at least three unified union school
districts formed pursuant to Act 46 of 2015.
The purpose of this project is to build
local capacity to better manage systems and
deliver services, said Rebecca Holcombe,
Secretary of Education. All our systems
strive to get the best value for students out of
every dollar. DMCs mission is to help systems figure out how to provide high quality
care for students in the most cost-effective

way possible. What we learn from these systems, we hope to share with others that were
not able to participate.
Supervisory unions and supervisory districts with an ADM of 1,500 or more
selected for the project are the Milton
Supervisory District, the Hartford
Supervisory District, Franklin Northeast
Supervisory Union and Bennington-Rutland
Supervisory Union.
Unified Unions under Act 46 selected for
the reviews are Addison Central Supervisory
Union, Essex Town & Essex Junction,
Washington West Supervisory Union and
Orange Southwest Supervisory Union.
Orleans Central and Windham Central
Supervisory Union were also selected to participate in the project.
The Agencys contract with DMC provides
that the cost for reviewing a supervisory
union or supervisory district will be $50,000,
with the State paying $45,000 and the supervisory union being responsible for the remaining $5,000. Grant funding is available.

Statewide School Safety Training Conference Focuses

Hall) in Randolph, VT.
More than 130 school executive leaders,
members of Vermonts first response community, mental health providers and school
crisis planning team members will gather for
the day-long behavioral assessment training.

Those attending will receive a certificate of


completion from SIGMA Threat Management
Associates, a national thought leader in
assessing school threat/risk-based behaviors
that can potentially have a negative impact on
schools.
Secretary of Education Rebecca Holcombe
and Director of Division of Emergency
Management and Homeland Security
Christopher Herrick will open the conference
at 9 a.m.

Commissioner of Taxes Releases


FY2018 Education Yield Letter

The Commissioner of Taxes has released


her forecast related to education tax yields
and rate for the upcoming fiscal year,
FY2018. The statutorily required forecasts
are a joint effort between the Agency of
Education, Department of Taxes, Department
of Finance and Management, and Joint Fiscal
Office.
This years projected homestead property
yield is $10,076 compared to $9,701 last year.
The projected income yield is $11,875 compared to $10,870 last year. The yields going
up mean that a district that spent $15,000 per
pupil last year and plans to spend the same
this year will see a six-cent decrease in its
homestead property rate and a .23% decrease
in its income rate. The nonresidential rate is
projected to be $1.55 per $100 of property
value in FY2018, compared to $1.535 last
year.
However, current modeling suggests that
the median bill for all three types of taxpayers
homestead property, income, and nonresidential property will rise 2.35%. This is
primarily because current forecasts suggest
most districts will increase spending in
FY2018. The impact of the projected yields/

Capstone Community Action and VSECU


(Vermont State Employees Credit Union)
have teamed up to launch Fuel Your
Neighbors, an initiative to support emergency
food and heating assistance for vulnerable
central Vermont households.
Winter is a tough time for thousands of
central Vermonters. Families often must
choose between basic necessities like food
and heat. Children and seniors are the most
vulnerable to the high costs of winter, and are
the most adversely affected. This year
Capstone will work with over 7,000 people to
help combat these challenges, putting food on
their table and keeping the heat on during the
cold winter months.
Capstone Community Action and VSECU,
with support from The Point FM, are partnering on Fuel Your Neighbors to engage the
community on this important need. Fuel Your
Neighbors is a 12-week initiative to raise
$50,000 to help prevent our neighbors from
going to sleep cold and hungry. The initiative
kicked off on November 29, Giving Tuesday,

To inspire others to take part in this effort,
VSECU will match the first $10,000 donated,
magnifying the impact of each donation.
This is a tremendous opportunity, thanks
to the generosity of VSECU, to bring our
community together to meet this pressing
need, said Dan H. Hoxworth, Executive
Director of Capstone. One-in-five central
Vermont children dont have enough food to
eat; which impacts their ability to thrive in
school because they are hungry. Forty percent
(40%) of those we help with emergency heating are retired seniors whose fixed income
can only be stretched so far.
At VSECU, we believe in the power of
cooperation, and that incredible things can be
accomplished when people come together,
said Rob Miller, CEO of VSECU. Fuel Your
Neighbors gives Vermonters the chance to do
what we do best support each other and
positively impact our neighbors in need.

rate on the bottom line of ones education


property tax bill depends on a districts locally-voted spending and whether the individual
taxpayers income or property value has
increased.
It is important to remember that decisions
made at the local level are still the primary
factor in determining education tax rates in
each town, states Commissioner Mary
Peterson. Taxpayers may see more significant changes due to those local decisions.
Those decisions may include taking advantage of accelerated merger incentives, having
a higher per pupil spending amount than last
year, or exceeding the high spending threshold.
Act 46 of 2015 changed the structure of the
annual forecasting requirement. This is the
second year of the new structure. Act 46 set
the homestead property rate in statute at $1.00
per $100 of equalized education property
value. Similarly, the rate for those paying on
income is set at 2 percent. Therefore, the
important numbers communicated by this letter are the property dollar equivalent yield,
the income dollar equivalent yield, and a nonresidential rate.

Hop Down the Rabbit Hole at the Cheshire Cat


A World of One-of-a-Kind Clothing Designs and Art

By Matt Coutu
Much like the fictional Cheshire Cat
character from Alice in Wonderland,
the clothing store in downtown
Montpelier, can be a tad difficult to
find. Located in a back alley on Elm
Street, adjacent to the Tulsi Tea Room,
you cant help but remember the namesake when you enter the building, and
immediately begin to smile.
The business is owned and operated
by Lucy Ferrada, where she has
designed and sold her clothing since
2004. Lining the walls currently are a
variety of different designs all highlighting her seasonal winter line. Each
piece is of a particular quality, that
screams but one word, exclusive. When
shoppers purchase an article of clothing
at the Cheshire Cat, they are not simply
buying apparel, they are purchasing a
piece of art.
I always worked independently in one way or another,
says Ferrada. Prior to owning my own business, I was a real
estate broker for a number of years, and that felt fairly independent. I think it was always hard to imagine not running my
own schedule.
Prior to opening the Cheshire Cat, Ferrada was proprietor
of the national childrens clothing brand, Cow & Lizard,
which was sold after 15 years in 2003. The company began in
Massachusetts before moving to Vermont.
Creating a sense of harmony with selling one-of-a-kind
attire, the Cheshire Cat participates in Art Walk on a monthto-month basis. The current exhibit is a Fiber Art Extravaganza,
which will be on display through December.
Art Walk is a downtown Montpelier event that we have
participated in since its beginning, Ferrada said. Rob and
Mary Jo from the Lazy Pear Gallery, and a few of us got
together to create a little bit more awareness of art in Vermont
and Montpelier. Since then, it has become a great event that
supports local artists. Whenever we participate, we invite the
artists to come to the store, and have wine and cheese. People
are welcome to come and meet the artists. We often feature
their work for about a month.

Ferrada has been designing her own clothing for over 25


years, and sees no sign of slowing down. Her vision when
beginning the Cheshire Cat was to continue working with
clothing design, alongside the addition of craft and folk art.
Since establishing the business, the boutique has made great
strides towards what she initially envisioned, replacing childrens clothing with her own unique style of contemporary
adult fashion.
In addition to manufacturing her own clothing line at the
Cheshire Cat, Ferrada also takes her designs on the road to
craft shows throughout New England. The local craft show
that is most frequently attended is the Vermont Hand Crafters
Show in Burlington, while others primarily take place in
Massachusetts.
As a frequent world traveler, Ferrada continuously brings
exotic fashion designs back from foreign countries, which can
easily be seen in the work she
creates. In the future, Ferrada
hopes to see the Cheshire Cat
maintain the integrity of its
current state, while also
evolving as her own taste
changes.
The store is located at 28
Elm St. in Montpelier, and is
open Mondays through
Saturdays from 10 a.m. to
5:30 p.m.

New CREBs a Boost for Washington


Electric Coops Landfill Gas Plant

The 10,900 members of Washington Electric Cooperative


(WEC), based in East Montpelier, Vermont, will produce even
more green power from their investment in a landfill gas fueled
facility located at the Coventry landfillthe states largest
thanks in part to $1.7 million in New Clean Renewable Energy
Bonds (New CREBs) financed through Cooperative Finance
Corporation (CFC). The funding will cover enhancements and
upgrades at the five-engine-unit, with a nameplate capacity of
8-MW, methane-fired power plant. The facility generates today
roughly 25 percent below its maximum output but we expect to
see an increase in production of roughly 15 percent or 1.1 MW
per hour.
Were a progressive and environmentally responsible cooperative, one that relies on renewable sources of power to meet
100 percent of our members needs, says Patty Richards,
Washington Electric Coops general manager. The Coventry
landfill gas project has provided 60 percent of our power today
at affordable and stable prices. By replacing the existing scrubber system we are planning to remove harmful siloxane compounds from the gas stream, and we will greatly reduce maintenance activities and improve output while lowering emissions
from the plant. We are projecting well be able to produce up to
70 percent of WECs energy needs while improving air quality.
That is great for WEC, our members, Vermont and the environment and we are proud to take these steps!
The Coventry facility began producing 4.8-MW from landfill methane in July 2005; capacity was expanded in 2007 and
2009. The plant produces enough power to serve 6,500
Vermont homes. We are also able to produce power locally
keeping dollars in the Vermont economy and bringing jobs to
the Northeast Kingdom, an area of Vermont that can benefit
from more employment opportunities, Richards added.
Competitively priced energy, combined with the sale of the
renewable energy certificates, means that the Coventry project
will deliver significant benefits to our members for many years
to come.
Linda Graham, CFC Director of Financial Products, points
out that the Washington Electric Coop deal follows IRS action
last year to reallocate nearly $281 million in New CREBs for
eligible renewable energy projects owned by electric cooperatives. The amount stems from $800 million in New CREBs
previously earmarked for cooperatives by Congress, but not
totally used.
New CREBs come with a direct payment option allowing
cooperatives to issue a bond [access a loan] at a fixed interest
rate to CFC and then receive a payment from the U.S. Treasury
over the term of the bond, she explained. The direct payment
gives electric cooperatives benefits similar to the federal investment tax credit that supports solar as well as production tax
credits for wind power. And with New CREBs financing, there
is no need for cooperatives to set up or utilize taxable subsidiaries to secure benefits as with other renewables financing
options.
New CREBs feature a simple application process, Graham
noted. They can also be coupled with other federal grants,
such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture Rural Energy for
America Program.

All the proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the Scooter Fund
at the Chittenden County Humane Society. Scooter was a beagle
mix, who was found on the side of road, starving, sore-infested and
missing a paw. Scooter was treated for an ear infection and a hernia
and was fitted with an customized, leather, artificial paw. The Humane
Society of Chittenden County then found Scooter a loving home. In
honor of Scooter, this fund was established in 1994. Donations to
the Scooter Fund are used to pay for veterinary cost for
animals with special needs waiting for adoption. This fund
provides a second chance for those animals too sick or
injured to be adopted animals.

Opiate Prescription Limits Approved

Gov. Peter Shumlin today applauded approval of Vermonts


new rules placing the strictest limits in America on the number
of powerful, addictive painkillers that can be dispensed by
medical professionals.
In 2015, enough painkillers were handed out in Vermont to
give every man, woman, and child a bottle of 100 pills, Gov.
Shumlin said. That needs to change, and I am proud that
medical professionals and others are working to make progress here in Vermont. These new rules will solidify that progress, helping to ensure that fewer Vermonters are sent home
with enough painkillers to set off a lifetime of horrible addiction. I want to thank Health Commissioner Harry Chen for his
great work on this issue.
The new limits give guidance to prescribers and set legal
limits on the dosage and number of opioid painkillers that may
be prescribed. For some minor procedures, the proposal calls
for a limit of between nine and 12 pills.
The Governor called for the limits in his 2016 State of the
State Address, and the Legislature passed a bill giving the
Health Commissioner the discretion to set the limits. In
October, the Vermont Health Department proposed the new
limits. Today, the Legislative Committee on Administrative
Rules approved them unanimously with bipartisan support.
The limits go into effect July 1, 2017. They were supported
by the Vermont Medical Society and others.

U n i v e r s a l
Recycling Law (Act 148) presents an expanding economic
opportunity for Grow Compost
of Vermont to provide organics
hauling and management services to food scrap generators
such as schools, restaurants,
grocery stores, and institutions.
Grow Compost of Vermont
anticipates organic hauling
services will account for over
65% of revenue in 2016, compared to 54% in 2015 and 17%
in 2014.
To meet the increased
demand, Grow Compost, based
in Moretown, plans to triple
their livable wage employment
numbers over the next three
years. Additionally, owners
Scott Baughman and Lisa
Ransom estimate their expanded capacity to serve food scrap
generators will indirectly result
in over a dozen new food system jobs to help manage the
organics diversion at schools,
restaurants, grocery stores, and
institutions.
The Flexible Capital Fund
provided $250,000 in permanent working capital for capital improvements, salaries, and
operational support to help
secure Grow Composts expansion of the organics diversion
market in Vermont. The Flex
Fund balances loan structure to
fit the needs of growing
Vermont businesses, without
diluting ownership, by offering

Grandpa Henton. They were railroad telegraphers by trade, so


young Irene would take the trip from their station home to the
primary school in town by train each day.
In high school, Irene caught the tennis bug, becoming the
girls singles champion of Yakima High tennis team in 1942.
She went on to coach, play a lifetime of formidable tennis,
and to travel around the world following the Grand Slam
Tennis Tour. Always on the lookout for a good conversation
starter, she frequently wore a silver tennis racket brooch.
As might be imagined of a person who chose their jewelry
based on whether or not it might serve as fodder for interesting conversation, Irene loved people. If you were lucky
enough to visit her in her home, she might pique your interest
by asking, have you ever seen my pilots license? Irenes
interest in pursuing diverse modes of transportation didnt
stop there. Once she crossed three states on horseback while
helping herd sheep to market and took pedestrian travel to the
extreme by climbing to the top of Kilimanjaro in Kenya after
serving in the Peace Corps as an old lady at the age 50.
Irenes students surely enjoyed her adventurous tales. An
active teacher for 30 years in Newtown, Connecticut, she
readily gave up her desk when the school was in short supply
as she never sat still long enough to need it. Once, she even
gained the respect of a cheeky student by beating him in a foot
race. She did, on occasion, get in trouble for talking during
school meetings, but this can be forgiven because of all she
gave to others through stories and conversation. After officially retiring from the teaching profession at the age of 70,
she moved to Vermont to be close to family and continued to
substitute teach at Union 32 High School and the local elementary schools for ten more years.
In her adopted home of Vermont, Irene continued to make
friends through her membership at the Old Meeting House, as
a volunteer at the State House and volunteering at the
Adamant Co-op. She is survived by her children Johnny
Forever, Donald Stotts, Rebecca Reed and husband Chris
Reed. She is also survived by five grandchildren, 15 great
grandchildren and countless dear friends.
A memorial service was held at the Old Meeting House in
East Montpelier on Monday, December 5, 2016 at 2:30 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, memorial gifts may be made to Habitat
for Humanity at www.vermonthabitat.org, a charity Irene
generously supported.
Those wishing to express online condolences may do so at

and knew how to live in the moment. After moving to
Vermont just before her 90th birthday (only the second big
move she had ever made in her long life), she would look up
at the sky and comment, The skies are always so beautiful
here in Vermont. Though by nature shy and reserved, Estelle
had a special gift for making lasting friendships. Along with
her old friends and relatives from New York, she adopted and
was adopted by her daughters communities and friends here
in Vermont.

the University of Southern Mississippi, will examine oral
histories obtained from the National World War II Museum

play highlights from these accounts as well as show images
from the attack and its aftermath.
This event is held in concert with the Sullivan Museums

World War II have defined the place the United States holds
in the world. The program is sponsored by the Sullivan

Guest Opinion

Additionally, over the past six years we have weaned


Vermont off one-time funds for ongoing state expenses. Onetime funds arent always bad. The federal stimulus, for
example, pumped one-time funds into Vermont to jump start
the economy. After Irene, Vermont benefited from an influx of
one-time federal funds to help us rebuild nearly 500 miles of
roads and bridges which had been destroyed in the storm. No
one is arguing that we should forgo such federal funding. But
relying on one-time funds for ongoing state expenses is dangerous because it leaves the funding of important state programs at the whims of the federal budget process, which is
unpredictable at best. The first budget I inherited in 2011
relied on $348 million in one-time funds, of which $159 million was used to pay for ongoing state expenses. I am proud
that the last budget I signed did not rely on any one-time funds
for ongoing state expenses, the first time in decades in which
we were able to accomplish that.
Weve also added to Vermonts strong fiscal legacy by balancing six straight budgets while honoring our obligations to
Vermonts future. In each budget I signed we fully funded
pension payments, refused to raid our rainy day funds, met
our debt service, and honored our statutory obligation to the
Education Fund. The result? We have maintained the best
credit rating among the New England states and one of the
best in the country.
Weve gone even further in building Vermonts reserve
funds so the state will be ready if and when hard economic
times return. In our handoff to the incoming Administration,
we are leaving a new reserve fund that will function as a stop
gap against large caseload swings within the Agency of
Human Services that have traditionally caused budget headaches. Using existing earned funds from within the Agency,
we have been able to set up a reserve of approximately $100
million that will be there when Vermonters need it.

A Record of Fiscal Responsibility

By Governor Peter Shumlin


ne of the key responsibilities of governing is crafting
a budget that reects Vermonters priorities and lives
within our means as a state. As we transition this important responsibility to the incoming Administration, its
worth reviewing the last six years of nancial management.
Lets remember where we started. Before I took office,
Vermonts budget routinely grew at upwards of 7 percent. In
2004, the total funds budget grew by 7.8 percent above the
year before. In 2005, it grew by 13.4 percent. In 2006 it grew
by 7 percent. Then the Great Recession hit, decimating state
budgets, just as it did family budgets, around America.
Because of that economic contraction, the first budget I inherited as Governor included a $176 million shortfall. Six years
later, by practicing fiscal discipline and making difficult
choices, we have righted the ship.
We slowed budget growth and kept it in line with Vermonts
economic growth. The average annual growth rate of
Vermonts total budget during my tenure is 3.7 percent.
During that same time, Vermonts economy, defined as the
Vermont Gross State Product, has grown at 3.1 percent. The
budget that I submitted during the last legislative session grew
by just 2.55 percent over the previous years budget adjustment.
Despite what you hear about the budget growing faster than
the economy, it is not true. According to VTDigger, the
[state] budget has not been growing faster than wages or the
economy. To back up that claim, VTDigger points to a Joint
Fiscal Office Study, which shows that for most of the last
decade all state appropriations have risen at either about the
same percentage as the states economic and income growth,
or slightly less.

Another December
By G. E. Shuman

ecember, here in the North, is all


about snow, cold, and Christmas,
for most people. By the rst of this
month we have just nished off the last of
the Thanksgiving turkey leftovers, (thankfully,) and are bracing for winter. Some
are not bracing, but embracing the idea
of a white Christmas. I dont understand
those people.
Christmas, and I mean, the true meaning of Christmas, is a
wonderful, miraculous thing that is not given enough thought
during the season. Christmas, in the way most of us Americans
actually celebrate it, is not quite as wonderful, at least not to
me. Presents are fun to give, cards are nice to receive, and another big family gathering is a ne thing to do. The thing that
always frustrates me about December is just the fact that so
many of us try to shove ten pounds of all this cheerful Christmas stuff into a ve-pound gift box, and t it all in there, in
four weeks, if you know what I mean.
My dear wife and I actually have to plan ahead to arrange
at least one day, one weekend in late December, to go out,
face the multitudes, and buy the presents for our ve kids,
three sons-in-law, and 12 grandkids. (We then sneak out some
evening to get things for each other.) By the time we are done
with all of that, Im usually quite angry with Santa, because,
although I probably look more like him every year, Im getting
a little tired of doing his job. He could at least provide the tree,
one of these years.
Each early December we, (meaning I) decorate the front of
our house for the holidays. We live in a huge old Dutch cape,
and for many years I have put a big lighted star up in the peak,
on the front of the house. That annually-reappearing December star can be seen from the other side of town. Years ago an
elderly lady thanked me for putting up the star, and said that

continued on next page

she wished on it each year at Christmastime. Really? Yes, she


actually wished on my ve-foot tall wooden star, bare except
for twinkle lights around the edge. (I mean, the star is bare
except for twinkle lights around the edge, not the old lady, I
hope.)
Last year I did something a bit different for a decoration on
our front porch. I made and painted a six-foot tall Grinch, little
red eyes and all, and with that evil grin of his, and arranged it
to appear that he was pulling down the Christmas lights from
the front of the house. A few of my friends didnt appreciate
that attempt at humor. Ho Ho Ho, and I might have had a few
fewer friends after the holidays. Some people just cant take a
joke. After I completed the Grinch and had him all lit up and
ready to go, I asked my wife if she thought there might be
something wrong with me. She simply replied with something
like: Of course I do.
This month will likely be just as crazy-busy for my family and yours, as all other Decembers have always been. The
rst real snowfall, the endless shopping trips, the planning for
meals and deals, and the decorating and wrapping sessions,
will certainly happen once again. This time, I will just not
get so ustered by it all, or at least thats the plan. Unfortunately, I think that was the plan last December, too. My goal
is to remember that if Im very busy preparing for one more
great American Christmas, it means that I have people in my
life who deserve my time and efforts, and, for that, I am truly
thankful. I hope that you will have family around on that day,
and that you are also thankful for them. I also hope that you
and your family take time to celebrate the true meaning of
Christmas Day; the celebration of the birth of the Savior.
If December becomes too hectic for you, you can always
make a Grinch. Mine is standing in the corner of the cellar,
waiting to provide some comic relief from it all, if needed. My
friends will just have to understand. Ho Ho Ho, (again.)

Andrea L.
Gallitano, Esq.

By Judy Reiss

or me, pets only mean three


things. And the three are, of
course, dogs, cats and birds. And
if you wonder why, it is because those
are the three type of pets that we have
had over the years. Of course I am not
counting the Guinea pigs or other such
rodents because they were always at our house for a very short
time. I know that some of my children brought home a gerbil
for us to care for during a holiday break and I vividly remember the shrieking when a parakeet that we had worked her way
out of her cage and one of our cats snatched it, wounded it and
then leaped at the gerbils cage, banged open the door and as
I arrived I saw the tail of the gerbil as it slid down her throat.
Nope, rodents of almost any type are difficult for us to care for
and love. Give me a furry or feathery pet and I promise you I
will be loving and gracious!
I am always shocked when I hear about someone who keeps
a snake, a lion, a tiger, a wolf, an alligator or any other pet
that can either eat you or at least, eat one of your limbs off! I
know that someone will mention to me how dangerous a pit
bull dog is and I happen to agree. But if you have a pit bull you
at least know their reputation and I would assume know how
to parent it so it doesnt have the opportunity to savage any
other dog or a 3-year-old!
So here is my personal rule and when I say personal, it
means that I dont want to interact with any of these pets
nor do I want them to visit me or mine. Mice, rats, snakes of
any size, lions, tigers, raccoons or any other wild animal that
belongs to remain wild and not kept captive in a little wire
cage. I know that there are lot of animals that I have forgotten
so the rule probably is no pets that arent in the three groups
of dogs, cats or birds.
I will tell you that as a very little girl I found a hairless baby
squirrel that had fallen out of its nest. And with the help of
my parents, weaned it for months until it appeared to be fully
grown. Then we donated him to a childrens petting zoo in
New Jersey. I still remember how devastated I was to leave
him there! But wild is wild and I suppose he had a better life
there. Bad for me, good for him.
However, what I really wanted to tell you about was a
friend and her amazing relationship with her chickens. Because I dont want to embarrass her in print, I will call her
Sarah. Now, Sarah has, at least a dozen hens. These hens live
in a wonderful hen house. They also have a lovely chicken
yard to browse around in. Well, during the winter or whenever
Sarah thinks it appropriate, she puts little coats on them that

are actually called aprons. They not only keep them warm, but
they also protect them during the molting season. Well, one
day she walked over to the chicken house and saw one of her
little children lying in the yard and covered with blood. Of
course, she immediately ran into the yard and picked her up
and found that her injuries were all over her back and it appeared that a young hawk had tried to pick her up. But it also
appeared that she was too heavy so all he did was scratch and
claw her and then left her for dead.
So Sarah picked her up and took her inside the house and
cleaned her up and of course, put one of her coats on her and
placed her in a little homemade nest in the kitchen. Now the
good news is she began to heal and it appeared she would
recover and be able to join her sisters in their house. But, and
there is always a but, she began to join the family a great deal
of the day. However, Sarahs husband put his foot down when
she tried to join him in the bathroom in any capacity. If he was
using the toilet he didnt want her to cuddle right up next to
him. And when showering, she was made to go into the other
family rooms. When Sarah showered however, she would allow the now recovering chicken to join her. And she preferred
to shower just a bit under the less strong spray but if it was just
a little shower, and she loved it!
You and I both know that this cant go on forever. Although
I am not quite sure if she has joined her chicken sisters out
in their house or not. I only heard about her recovering last
week and at that time she was still in the house. And although
I found it strange, I immediately remembered the ducks and
chickens that wintered in our dirt basement a number of years
ago. Nothing as strange as a chicken that joined the family
group happened to us, but when spring came, my entire basement turned into a cornfield! I would have thought that those
guests would have eaten more corn than they did.
I hope you all have pets and pets that interact with you and
your family. Right now, we have two dogs, a 4-year-old standard poodle and a 14-year-old Yorkie that is blind and deaf.
However, we have never told her about her disabilities and
she doesnt appear to know. We also have two elder Siamese
gentlemen who really do interact with every one, including
guests, whether they like cats or not! We used to have a Cockatoo but she passed away a number of years ago and we were
both devastated. We decided not to get another big bird, not
because we didnt want one, but we decided that they live for
up to 100 years old and we were just too old!
If you have a pet, love and cuddle it every day and if you
dont have one, get one. It will be the best friend you ever
had!

THE OFFICE WILL BE CLOSED FOR BUSINESS


MONDAY, DECEMBER 26
& MONDAY, JANUARY 2

By Senator Bill Doyle

or the last 48 years, it has been


my great privilege to serve the
residents of the State of Vermont
as one of the State Senators from Washington County. I worked closely with
seven governors and hundreds of fellow
legislators as we tried as best we could to steer our government to meet the ever changing needs of Vermonters and the
state we love.
On election night this year, the initial results indicated that
I had fallen short in my effort to return to the Senate for
another term, which would have rounded out a half century of
service.
At the urging of many of my longtime constituents, I
requested that the votes be recounted to assure that the voters
true choice was reflected in the results, since there were two
candidates with the last name Doyle on the ballot. That
process is set to begin in two weeks. In order to prevail in a
recount, I would need 96 votes to change. My advisors tell me
that is unlikely to occur.
On reflection and thinking of how to best continue to serve
the people of this county and this State, I have decided to
stand aside and let the initial results be certified as the final
ones. I do this so that the local and county officials and those
volunteers who would have to be involved in the recount can

continue with their important work, and so that the candidate


who finished just ahead of me, my good friend Francis
Brooks, can begin to prepare for what will be a challenging
legislative session.
As Senator-elect Brooks and his colleagues walk the halls
of the State House this winter, I hope they keep in their minds
and hearts, as I did over the decades, the words of Calvin
Coolidge, engraved on a marble slab hanging in the Lincoln
hallway, which has never ceased to inspire me:
Vermont is a state I love. I could not look upon the peaks
of Ascutney, Killington, Mansfield, and Equinox, without
being moved in a way that no other scene could move me. I
love Vermont because of her hills and valleys, her scenery and
invigorating climate, but most of all because of her indomitable people. They are a race of pioneers who have almost
beggared themselves to serve others. If the spirit of liberty
should vanish in other parts of the Union, and support of our
institutions should languish, it could all be replenished from
the generous store held by the people of this brave little state
of Vermont.
Good luck and good work to my former colleagues and
friends, and to their newly-elected counterparts, as they begin
the peoples business, as the Vermont Constitution reads, on
the first Wednesday after the first Tuesday of the new year.

Fiscal Responsibility continued from previous page

weve created a stronger Vermont than we inherited six years


ago the economy has added nearly 19,000 jobs; Vermonters
incomes have grown above the national average each year
since 2011, something that has never happened before; over
20,000 Vermonters who didnt have health care coverage six
years ago now do, giving the state one of the lowest uninsured
rates in America; and our investment in renewable energy and
energy efficiency has ensured that electric bills for over 80
percent of Vermonters have gone down three of the last four
years, giving the state the second lowest energy rates in New
England. Thats a legacy I am proud of.

Weve done all of this balancing six budgets, keeping


budget growth in line with economic growth, eliminating the
use of one-time funds for ongoing state expenses, and expanding our reserves without asking Vermonters to pay higher
incomes, sales, or rooms and meals tax rates. That is a promise I made to Vermonters when I ran for Governor, and one I
was proud to deliver on.
At the end of the day, the budget is about more than strong
fiscal management. Its about setting priorities and investing
in things that matter for Vermonters. On this front, weve
made incredible progress. Through investments in workforce,
education, energy, health care, infrastructure, and much more,

Vermont Health Connect


Open Enrollment Proceeds Smoothly;
Obamacare Integral to Vermonters

Gov. Peter Shumlin last week provided an


update on Vermont Health Connect open
enrollment and highlighted how Obamacare
has provided critical health care and financial
security to previously uninsured Vermonters.
President-elect Donald Trump and
Congressional Republicans, who control both
the House and the Senate, have promised to
repeal Obamacare.
As open enrollment on Vermont Health
Connect enters its second month, the annual
process of re-enrolling existing customers
and enrolling new Vermonters is going
smoothly. More than 20,000 households have
been renewed into 2017 health and dental
plans and will receive their first 2017 invoice
next week. In addition, about 1,000 new
applicant households have received an eligibility determination and will be effectuated
into 2017 coverage once they pay their first
bill.
The States health insurance marketplace
fully expects to meet its goal of ensuring that
all customers can use their 2017 health insurance starting on January 1st. In fact, Vermont
Health Connect is on pace to meet the target
weeks in advance.
The first step in the renewal process
involved updating the States system with
information from customers, insurance carriers and the federal hub to ensure that customers were mapped to the appropriate 2017
health plans and given state and federal subsidies based on 2017 eligibility thresholds.
This step was completed in October. More
than 90 percent of renewals were successfully
processed through an automated file. The
remainder were completed in the following
days through a staff renewal form. This performance was three weeks ahead of target. It
was also more than three months ahead of last
year, the first year the marketplace used the
automated renewal process.
The second step involved sending the files
to the insurance carriers Blue Cross Blue
Shield of Vermont, MVP Healthcare, and
Northeast Delta Dental and then receiving
confirmation that the customers have been
effectuated into active coverage. Vermont
Health Connect initiated this step during the
weekend before Thanksgiving and the results
have been very positive. Of nearly 21,000
cases sent to carriers, only 288 have yet to be
confirmed as effectuated into active coverage.
Only 51 cases, or about one-quarter of one
percent, were in error status as of November
28th. These cases are being evaluated and are
expected to be resolved in the coming days.
This years performance greatly exceeds last
years, when just over 13,000 households
were effectuated by the end of November.
Vermont Health Connects ability to process customers change requests, also known
as Change of Circumstance (COC), has been
a major focus since the marketplaces launch.
The goal is for changes that are requested by
the 15th of a month to be reflected on the following months invoice. Last month, 95 percent of requested changes met this target, up
from 54 percent at the beginning of the year.
Last week, 80 percent of requested changes
were completed on the same day as the
request.
Vermont Health Connects website contin

ues to meet performance targets for load time


and availability, while customers who prefer
to use the phone have also encountered
prompt service. Nine out of ten (89 percent)
calls to the Customer Support Center have
been answered within 24 seconds, well above
both the 75 percent target and the 59 percent
achieved during the first four weeks of open
enrollment last year.
Im extremely proud of the team at
Vermont Health Connect for ensuring a
smooth open enrollment process for
Vermonters, Gov. Shumlin said. Vermont
Health Connect is functioning as it should,
and the result is Vermonters being able to easily access important health care coverage for
themselves and their families.
Amid Congressional Republican calls for
repeal of Obamacare, the Governor also
stressed just how integral the law is to tens of
thousands of Vermonters who now have
health insurance because of it.
Before Obamacare, about 43,000
Vermonters lacked insurance coverage. Since
the implementation of the law, that number
has been cut by more than half, with over
25,000 Vermonters gaining coverage, which
has reduced the states uninsured rate to an
estimated 2.7 percent. Vermont has the lowest
uninsured rate in the nation for children, and
is second only to Massachusetts for the lowest rate overall.
In addition to greatly expanding insurance
coverage in Vermont, Obamacare has helped
tens of thousands of Vermonters afford health
care with federal and state subsidies. Three
out of four (77 percent) Vermonters who purchase insurance through Vermont Health
Connect receive federal subsidies to make
insurance more affordable. That equates to
more than 20,000 people who are at risk of
losing financial help if Obamacare is
repealed.
In addition, 130,000 adults and children
receive health coverage through Vermont
Health Connects income-based Medicaid
and Dr. Dynasaur programs. It is too early to
predict what changes in Washington might
mean for these Vermont families.
To put it simply, it would be an absolute
disaster if President-elect Trump and
Republicans in Congress followed through on
their threats to repeal Obamacare, Gov.
Shumlin said. Because of this law, 25,000
Vermonters who didnt have health insurance
now do and thousands of others are receiving
financial help, without which they might not
be able to afford coverage.
Gov. Shumlin referred to Danielle LaFleur
Brooks and Susan Hand of Montpelier as an
example of how Obamacare has been essential to giving people an alternative to employer-sponsored insurance. It ensures that
Vermonters can have the peace of mind that
comes with continuous health coverage
regardless of employment changes or other
life changes.
The healthcare needs of our family of four
have been met in a way that we can afford,
said LaFleur Brooks. During a time when we
had changing medical needs and income, we
were able to make changes to our plan in a
timely manner. The program has truly been
live-saving for us.

Licensed Alcohol and Drug Counselor


Jennifer Pelletier Joins Gifford

Licensed Alcohol
and Drug Counselor
Jennifer Pelletier has
joined
Giffords
Behavioral
Health
team.
This newly-created
position is supported
by federal funding
received last spring to
expand addiction medicine and substance use
disorder treatment services in Vermont. As
well as counseling patients, Pelletier is working closely with Giffords primary care practices to implement a screening and referral
process that will identify patients at-risk for
alcohol and substance dependence. Integrating
assessment into primary care visits will help
patients receive early, more comprehensive
care, which can lead to better treatment outcomes.
This work is part of a larger collaboration
with the Clara Martin Center, the Blueprint
Medication-Assisted Treatment team, and
community treatment partners to implement a
SBIRT (screening, brief intervention, referral

to treatment) model of substance abuse disorder care.


I have watched people close to me struggle with addiction and know how crucial it is
for people get support at the appropriate level
of care, she said. Maintaining a consistent
level of compassion and empathy is important
when working with substance use disorders. I
encourage and empower patients on their
journey through recovery, and also recognize
that the impact of addiction goes beyond the
individual. We need to provide resources for
families, friends, and our communities as
well.
A licensed drug and alcohol counselor,
Pelletier received a Bachelors in Psychology
and a Masters in Mental Health & Substance
Abuse Counseling from Johnson State
College. She has worked as a counselor and a
clinical care coordinator with substance abuse
programs at the Central Vermont Medical
Center, Central Vermont Addiction Medicine,
and Central Vermont Substances Abuse
Services in Belin.
She is currently seeing patients at Gifford
Health Center at Berlin-Primary Care.

SHOP LOCAL FOR THE HOLIDAYS | GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT

Connect Locally

t might seem like something out of a


Norman Rockwell painting, but hitting
downtown to do some shopping really
can help put you in the Christmas spirit
and provide a deeper connection with your
local surroundings.

Most towns decorate the downtown streets, and many shops do


holiday-themed window displays to attract shoppers. Yes, you should
spend some money while youre out (it helps the local economy,
after all), but just hitting the streets to do some window shopping is a
great way to bond with your family and friends during Christmas.
HIT THE STREETS
When youre ramping up your Christmas shopping strategy, set aside
a Saturday, or afternoon, to park (or walk, if youre close enough)
into your closest shopping district and start exploring. You might nd
a store youve never seen, or at least make an effort to visit a store
you dont frequent very often. Its a great chance to look for unique
gifts, while also getting to know your own town a little bit better.

MAKE IT A FAMILY BONDING EXPERIENCE


Even if you dont actually pick up any gifts while the kids (or
spouse) are with you, hitting the local stores to scout out gift
options is a great way to just spend some time with your family.
Tell your kids stories about unique nds in the antique store, or
let them make a list of gift options while perusing the aisles at a
downtown general store.

If youre shopping for adults, it can also give you a chance to glance
into local downtown boutiques.
IT JUST FEELS LIKE CHRISTMAS
Walking the streets in downtown, with a chill in the air in December,

as the Christmas lights twinkle around the street lights and in the
windows, just feels quintessentially Christmas. It evokes the visuals
and emotions from classic holiday lms like Miracle on 34th Street,
and is just a great tradition to add to the Christmas season.

SHOP LOCAL FOR THE HOLIDAYS | GETTING INTO THE SPIRIT

Check for special events

hristmas festivals: There may


not be one in your town, but if
not, it stands to reason theres
probably one nearby. In November
and December, small and mid-size towns
across the country host downtown Christmas
festivals, with local stores and organizations
participating to encourage folks to shop and
spend some time outside the big box stores.

LOOK FOR DEALS


Most shops offer deals or coupons as part of a Christmas festival
event, and its a great time to get some shopping done while taking
advantage of the sales. With so much foot trafc hitting the area at
one time, shops are usually ghting it out for attention which
is good news for shoppers. Also check with the local Chamber
of Commerce to see if there might be a local coupon book for an
event.
MAKE MEMORIES
Along with getting some shopping done, these festivals often
also feature caroling, Christmas tree decorating contests, and sometimes even horse-drawn carriage rides. If the weather cooperates,
it can be a great way to get into the Christmas spirit and have a fun
and affordable night out. Be sure to see if theres a schedule available for live music and events, so you can plan accordingly.

DONT FORGET DINNER


With shops trying to lure in customers around holiday events,
local restaurants often get in on the festivities, as well. Some will
have special meals and promotions around the holiday season,
so you might even be able to change things up with a Christmasthemed dinner to go along with all the shopping.

REMEMBER TO EXPLORE
Having everyone out around downtown means local shops are
often putting their best foots forward, so its a great opportunity
to try out some stores or restaurants youve never visited or
perhaps even noticed before. Make it a point to visit at least one
place youve never been, just to see what you might be missing.

ts easy to forget that shopping local helps your community and state in
many, many ways. From tax dollars to
supporting mom-and-pop businesses, the
benets are myriad.
SPEND LOCAL AND MORE STAYS LOCAL
Numerous studies have analyzed the way money recirculates, and
most agree that money spent locally has a much higher chance of
staying in the community.
A study commissioned by the British Columbia division of the
Canadian Union of Public Employees found that for every $1 million in sales, independent retail stores generate $450,000 in local
economic activity, compared to just $170,000 for chains. Among
restaurants, the gures are $650,000 for independents and $300,000
for chains.
Across both sectors, this translates into about 2.6 times as many
local jobs created when spending is directed to independent businesses instead of chains. The study concludes that a shift of just 10
percent of the market from chains to independents would produce
31,000 jobs paying $940 million in annual wages to workers.

covery period in the studys sample, large rms took years to recover
relative to small rms.
ITS BETTER FOR THE COMMUNITY
A study by a professor at Baylor University found strong positive
relationships between local ownership, rm size and employee loyalty, which they refer to as organizational commitment.
Using data from a nationally representative public opinion survey,
the study found that 57.2 percent of small rm workers scored in the
highest commitment category, compared to 40.5 percent of large rm
workers. They found a similar relationship for ownership, with 56
percent of workers at locally owned rms having high commitment

SHOP LOCAL FOR THE HOLIDAYS | GIFT IDEAS

Local gift certificates or cards

f youre totally stumped for a gift selection, theres nothing


wrong with snagging a gift card and tossing it in a greeting card.
Theres no rule, however, that says you have to buy a card from
a chain restaurant or big box store. Think local for an easy gift
solution.
Check local shops
Most local stores have started offering gift card
options for customers, be it a rechargeable card
or just a gift certificate signed by the manager.
Regardless, it can make for a more personal gift
than just a generic gift card. If you find a store
you think your loved one would really like but
cant find the perfect gift, just get a gift card and
let them enjoy shopping and picking out their
favorite items on your dime. A gift card to a local
store can be a much more personal gift, and it also
takes some of the guesswork out of gift-buying.
Plus, it supports a local business.
Dont forget restaurants
Most local restaurants also offer gift cards, and
a free lunch is a great gift. Aim high on this one;
pick out a place you really think theyll like, and

let them indulge with a nice meal as a gift from


you.
Be it a great, highly rated local restaurant or a
beloved hole in the wall that has the best burgers
in town, get creative and choose something that
complements the taste of the recipient.

Coffee shops, bakeries


If you want to offer a bit more of a snack, pick
up a gift certificate to a local coffee shop or bakery, Just make sure the place is good (maybe test
out a few pastries before you pick up the card). A
$20 or $30 gift card can stretch a good distance at
a coffee house or bakery.
Try to think of a place that might be on your
friends commute, as well, so theyll have a
chance to use it and take full advantage of your
clever gift.

Remember to use cash

heres one important step to remember before heading into town and
hitting all those lovely, local shops
to buy Christmas gifts: Hit up the
ATM first. Shopping with cash has myriad
benefits, but it can really be a huge help for
small businesses around the holidays.

stick to your budget


Its so much easier to know what youre spending when you
can literally look at the cash in your wallet or purse. Pull out what
youve budgeted for gift-buying and get to shopping. By setting your
limit and not bringing any extra cash with you, it can help you stay
focused while shopping and help you stay on budget. Of course, just

be cautious of carrying too much cash around with you. Make sure
you have it secure and safe when strolling around.
save businesses processing fees
Those little credit and debit card machines arent free for local
businesses to use, and most businesses have to pay a fee with every
swipe. That means you can actually help support your local businesses, and keep a few extra dollars in the local economy, just by
shopping with green backs. It might not seem like much to you,
but with potentially hundreds of purchases flying through each day
during the holiday season, those fees can really add up for a small
business with tight profit margins.
score a better deal
It doesnt just work on car dealers. Most vendors prefer cash, and
a bird in the hand is worth two in the bushel, as they say. Its not a

guarantee by any means, but especially when youre talking about


bigger ticket items, shopping with cash can also help shave a few
dollars off the sticker price. Since it saves vendors money and is
easier to deal with, some are willing to have a bit of wiggle room on
a price when dealing with cash.

SHOP LOCAL FOR THE HOLIDAYS | OH CHRISTMAS TREE

Christmas tree varieties and care

n evergreen tree decked out in


lights and ornaments is one of the
universal symbols of the holiday
season. The Christmas tree tradition is believed to have originated in Germany in the 15th or 16th centuries, when trees
were decorated with edibles, such as nuts and
fruits. They were later decorated with candles
and eventually lights.

Through the centuries, people have trekked to forests, Christmas


tree farms and commercial lots to pick the perfect trees for their
holiday displays. The National Christmas Tree Association says more
than 33 million real trees are purchased each year, making the tree
business a billion-dollar industry. While there are scores of evergreen
varieties, certain tree types are more popular than others and thus
more available for purchase. The following are some of the more
popular trees come Christmastime.
Eastern Redcedar: Branches of the tree are compact and form a pyramid-shaped crown. The trees should be a dark, shiny green color.
The eastern redcedar is not a true cedar tree, but a member of the
juniper family. This tree can make a great cut tree with a homespun
look and a pungent fragrance.
Colorado Blue Spruce: An attractive blue-green foliage and a
good symmetrical form is what attracts many people to the blue
spruce. The Colorado Blue Spruce has an excellent natural shape and
requires little pruning to look like the perfect Christmas tree. Its not
very fragrant, but the tree needles may give off an unpleasant odor
when crushed.
Scotch Pine: A classic conical shape and very good needle retention
help make the Scotch pine a popular tree to cut for the holidays.
Scotch pines also are quite prevalent thanks to the trees adaptability
to a wide range of climates.
Eastern White Pine: A delicate green color and long needles are
found on this tree. Another popular pine, the rich fragrance of the

white pine may make it preferable to those who like their homes to
smell of evergreen.
Douglas Fir: The Douglas r is one of the foremost Christmas tree
species in the United States. It has soft needles that are dark green
in color. Those needles radiate in all directions from the branches to
give the tree a full look. The needles, when crushed, have a sweet
fragrance. Douglas rs tend to live long when cut.
Fraser Fir: Another popular r for Christmas is the Fraser r. The
needles are bicolored, with dark green on top and silver on the
bottom. More fragrant than its cousin, the Douglas, the Fraser also
boasts a slender prole, which makes it suitable for smaller rooms.

CHRISTMAS TREE MAINTENANCE


Nothing can guarantee the health and appearance of a tree after it
is brought into a home. But choosing a recently cut tree that has good
needle retention can help. Here are other tips for a long-lasting tree.
Use a sharp saw to cut an inch off of the trunk base to remove the
sappy covering that forms from cutting.
Fill a tree stand reservoir with warm water. Expect the tree to drink
heavily in the beginning.
Keep the reservoir lled every day and check to see how much
water the tree is using.
Place the tree far from heaters or other drying sources.

f youre looking for something


quintessential about your hometown
or area, hitting a local shop is probably
your best bet. The nearest big box
retailer probably wont be carrying jewelry
from a local artist, or T-shirts for the local
football team. Shopping local for the holiday
opens up a whole new arena for gift-buying,
outside the usual hustle and bustle of cookiecutter catalog options.
CHECK OUT THE ART
If you look close enough, many towns have local art shops
or at least an artist or craft guild that organizes things locally.
Track down the nearest one and see what the creative minds in your
community have to offer. From mixed media art to paintings, buying from local artists helps support their work, while also offering
a gift that is one of a kind and truly unique to the area. Some can
even do work on commission, if youre looking for something extra
personal.
THE SAME THING GOES FOR JEWELRY
With the rise of platforms such as Etsy and Pinterest, there are
more small-town artists than ever just trying to make a living and

DONT FORGET THE TOYS


Locally made toys are a bit harder to pull off, but many local
shops stock toys and the offerings can be very different from
what youll nd in the toy aisle at a big box retailer. From toy train
sets to vintage toys that have been around since the 1950s (but
may not be in easy circulation these days), local shops often carry
a much more diverse set of toy options. Take a risk and go for something old school this year.

2016 CENTRAL VERMONT HIGH SCHOOL

BOYS HOCKEY PREVIEW


he long wait for the first
week of December has arrived and the high school
hockey season is underway. The schedule has
a very different look this year for two
Central Vermont boys teams. Between
them, the U32 Raiders and Stowe Raiders have won the last five Division II
championships, including last years 3-2
U32 win over Stowe. This season, both
teams have been moved up to Division I
and will compete against Spaulding and
the best teams in the state.

In Division II, it should be a wide open


race since last seasons top four teams are
now playing in D1. This week we preview the
area boys teams. Next week we will have the
girls hockey preview.
Listen for live hockey coverage this year on
105-7 The Beat. All games will be streamed
at www.thebeatvermont.com. From mobile
phones, download The Beat App or Tunein
Radio.

SPAULDING (Division I)

COACH: Clay Bell


LAST SEASON: 12-10-0 (Lost to BFA in
semifinal)
After a somewhat rocky start last season,
Spaulding closed with a furious second-half
run of nine wins in 11 games. One of only two
teams to beat Division 1 champion BFA in the
regular season, Spaulding saw its season end
when the Bobwhites got revenge in a playoff
semifinal.
Eight seniors graduated, but another class
of talented seniors should give the Crimson
Tide a lot of experience to go up against the
top teams in the state.
I think this is one of the deeper teams Ive
had in recent years, says Spaulding coach
Clay Bell. Defense first is our mission; if we
limit scoring opportunities then I believe the
goal scoring will come. Division I is always
tough, with the usual teams BFA, CVU and
Essex at the top. Weve got strong defense,
good goaltending and good team speed. If we
play our game then we could be in the race.
The first line should put up some points
with Denver Heath, who has speed and a
scoring touch (13 goals), Brad Romeo, strong
around the net (11 goals) and Nick Blow. The
rest of the line combinations have not been
set, but look for three lines to see action. Other forwards seeing plenty of ice time include
Tyler Murray, Colin Dickinson, Jake Couture, Collin McFaun and Northfield transfer
Jackson Clayton.
The blue line returns one of the states top
defenders, senior Luke Krupa. He notched
eight goals last season, many on the power
play with a hard accurate shot from the point.
Senior Chandler Cressey is another steady
defenseman who can move the puck. Two
juniors, Matteo Perantoni and Patrick Brock,
give the Crimson Tide four experienced defenders. Senior Cody Gosselin will step in
as the number one goalie after seeing action

the last two seasons as the backup. Another


experienced goalie, transfer Matthew Aubut,
will also see action giving the Crimson Tide
plenty of experience in net.

U32 (Division I)

COACH: Dave Pickel


LAST SEASON 20-2-1 (Won Division II
Championship 3-2 over Stowe)
The Raiders closed out last season with
their most exciting period of hockey in recent history, erasing a 2-0 third period deficit
and capturing their third Division II title in
five years, with a 3-2 heart-stopping win over
Stowe. The Raiders will face a bigger challenge this season as they move up to play in
the newly realigned Division I.
Seven players are gone from the championship team so the Raiders will not have the
depth of some of the top teams in D-1, but
they do have returning talent and some new
players ready to contribute immediately.
The players are ready go up against the
best teams in the state, said coach Dave
Pickel. I think we have a solid defensive
crew and two forward lines that can compete
well in D-1 plus experience in goal. Our biggest issue will be depth, and getting our third
line ice time, while playing teams that will
rotate three or four lines.
Raiders talent includes the Montpelier duo
of Lucas Eldred (30 goals, 20 assists50
points) and Conor Barrett (18-25-43). The
senior pair are excellent together, and frequently set each other for easy finishes. Eldred is fast, shifty and good around the net,
while Barretts size allows him to play both
ways, as a skilled finisher and enforcer on
the defensive end. While those two forwards
should put up good numbers this season, the

The WORLD

December 7, 2016

Raiders will need contributions from everyone, including forwards Brendan Marineau,
Malone Bruce, Liam Robert and freshman
Ethan Eldred. The defense should be solid,
with prep school transfer sophomore Parker
Schaarschmidt bringing his experience playing against high level competition, along with
returning blue liners Matt Hynes, Zach Lague
and Spaulding transfer Coby Gilander. Another skilled player back this year is senior
Harper Wimble. He will see action at forward
or defense after spending last season with the
Vermont Lumberjacks. Junior Rory Hynes
will become the number one goalie. Hynes
played in eight games last season and only
gave up 12 goals.

STOWE (Division I)

COACH: Chris Eaton


LAST YEAR 18-6-0 (Lost to U32 3-2 in
Division II Championship)
Last season the Raiders came up short in
their third straight trip to the Division II title
game.
After a successful run in D-2 that included
two championships in three years, the new
alignment has moved Stowe back to D-1.
It will be a huge challenge for a team that
graduated seven seniors, including all-State
forward Chad Haggerty who led the team in
scoring (179 career points).
Entering this season with their smallest
roster in years, just 17 players, the team will
need to rely on their seven seniors as they battle against teams with much deeper rosters. A
number of forwards return, including seniors
Jackson Felis, Sam Lively, Gabe Elisasson
and Jacob Walker. Sophomores Jace Boerger,
who scored a highlight goal in the championship game, and Max Carr will skate up front
along with freshman Alex Carpenter. Senior
Ryan Martin leads the d-corps that will also
include Sebastian James and Addison Bellavance. The goaltending looks to be strong
with junior Kristian Viljanen expected to
stop a lot of pucks with Bannon Wright as
backup.
Stowe coach Chris Eaton says in spite of a
small roster his team will battle every night.
I think we can be competitive in Division
I, but we dont have the number of skaters we
had last year, Eaton said. Thats going to be
difficult when youre up against the leagues
top teams. Depth will certainly be an issue,
and we need to stay away from losing any
players to injury.

NORTHFIELD

(Division II)

COACH: Doug MacDougall


LAST YEAR 7-14-0 (Lost to Hartford in
playdown)
Former assistant coach Doug MacDougall takes over for Paul Clayton behind the
Northfield bench. The Marauders were very
young last season. Now the core players are
juniors and sophomores with much more experience.
Northfield did not lose much to graduation
(just two players), but leading scorer Cory
Doney left for the Vermont Lumberjacks and
two players transferred, leaving a scoring
void.

The top returning scorer is junior Garrett


Bean. Hell need help from other returning
forwards Mitchell Goodrich, Conner MacDougall and Ashton Morvan. Three new faces in the offensive attack include Paul Linehan, Daniel Ruel and exchange student Dom
Rotzetter. The defense is led by big Ethan
Hatch along with Nolan Bean, Bryce MacDougall and Caleb Bridges. The Marauders
will have a new look in net with freshman
Dylan Partlow between the pipes.
Coach Doug MacDougall says the new
alignment in Division II this season will make
things interesting.
With last years top four now in D-1 that
really opens up our league, he said. I think
D-2 will be very competitive with much more
parity. A couple of teams should be real good at
the top of the league. The rest, like us, should
be in a battle for the middle of the pack.

HARWOOD (Division II)

COACH: Dave Morse


LAST YEAR 9-11-1 (Lost to Burr & Burton in playdown)
With things wide open in Division II, Harwood could have a shot at a lengthy postseason. Thanks to a solid returning lineup that
includes seven seniors, the Highlanders look
to be one of the deeper teams in Division II.
It will be different in Division II with the
top four teams moving up, but there are some
very good teams left in D-2, says Harwood
coach Dave Morse. It will be a very even
league with parity and seven or eight teams
in the battle. I think well be in the mix, but
well need to work hard every game.
Harwood has skill up front with senior Eli
Rivers leading the way. Rivers is a proven
goal scorer who can get up and down the ice
quickly. Other forwards who should contribute to the fast Harwood attack include Connor Cameron, Hunter Wimble, Eriks Ziedens,
Connor Beck, Sam Towne and Ryan Garrand,
who moves up from defense. The blue line
looks solid with senior Connor Dow leading
the way. Dow has size and can play physical,
but also has a hard shot and will be dangerous
quarterbacking the power play. The rest of
the defensive group includes Justin Cantwell,
Cole Spalding, Ivan Morse, Jacob Wells and
Taylor Griffin. The goaltending job will be
split between junior Ben Hodziewich and
sophomore Sean Russell.

Changes to Permanent Hunting/Fishing
Licenses Coming in 2017

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife


Department is reminding hunters
and anglers of changes to permanent license laws that go into
effect starting on January 1, 2017.
A permanent hunting and fishing
license is currently available to
Vermont residents aged 65 and
older for a one-time fee of $50.
Starting January 1, the eligible age
will be raised to 70 and the license
will be free.
The department is urging hunters and anglers aged 65 to 68 who
dont yet have a permanent license
to purchase one before midnight
on December 31. Eligible current
2016 license holders can purchase
a permanent license in person at a
license agent or Fish & Wildlife
Department district office. Those
who have not purchased a 2016
license yet can either purchase a
permanent license in person at a
license agent or district office or
go online at www.vtfishandwildlife.com. Hunters and anglers who
already have a permanent license
do not need to purchase another
but should renew theirs in 2017.
Those without a permanent
license who will turn 70 before
the next hunting or fishing season should wait until their 70th
birthday to pick up a 2017 permanent license, at which time it
will be available to them for

free.
The change in eligibility was
made to bring Vermonts permanent license structures in line with
neighboring states. In New York
and Massachusetts, hunters and
anglers are eligible for a permanent license at age 70. New
Hampshire does not offer a permanent license, but instead offers
a discount on annual licenses
starting at age 68.
A permanent license allows the
holder to hunt and fish without
purchasing additional licenses for
the rest of their lifetime. Vermonts
permanent license includes all
regular season tags, including
archery, muzzleloader, and turkey
tags. An additional tag for second
archery, moose and antlerless lotteries, and waterfowl stamps must
be
purchased
separately.
Permanent licenses must be
renewed every year, which is free
of charge online or at any district
office.
Permanent licenses are different from lifetime licenses, which
can be purchased at any age and
are generally purchased for young
children.
Anyone with questions about
the change should see the department website (www.vtfishandwildlife.com) or call the licensing
office at 802-828-1190

Trails Blaze the Way for Vermonts Economic Future

Exploring Vermonts outdoors by trail has always been part


of the Green Mountain states culture, but now there is strong
evidence to support how those activities bolster the states
economy, too. The popularity of growing member-based trail
networks for mountain biking, backcountry skiing, all-terrain
riding and more are blazing new pathways for economic
growth in the State.
Last week, representatives from Federal, State, and local
trail organizations came together to recognize the growing
outdoor recreation economy and to showcase efforts to start
measuring its economic contributions in dollars.
A new economic impact report released last week by the
Vermont Trails & Greenways Council found that four trail
networks alone generate $29.6 million in economic activity
annually in the State of Vermont. The totals come from looking at direct consumer spending associated with using trails
(trail tickets, rentals, etc.), and the activities recreationists
love doing before and after hitting the trails, such as visiting
a nearby brewery or grabbing a bite to eat.
The report is being issued just several weeks after the U.S.
House of Representatives unanimously passed a bill that
requires the outdoor recreation industry to be quantified in the
federal governments annual calculation of national economic
productivity. The bill authored by Vermont Representative
Peter Welch signals a national willingness to recognize the
economic benefits of land-based recreation.
Representative Welchs office received notice that the outdoor recreation bill was also passed by the U.S. Senate last
night, and is now on its way to President Obamas desk for
signature.
The Vermont Trails & Greenways Council received funding to perform the economic impact report through a USDA
Rural Business Opportunity Grant. The four organizations
evaluated in the study are the Catamount Trail Association,
the Green Mountain Club (GMC), the Kingdom Trails
Association, and the Vermont ATV Sportsmans Association
(VASA). The study is the first of its kind to look at the direct

GreenwaysCouncil. We finally
accurate numbers to
demonstrate what we as the represented user groups of the
Vermont Trail System bring to the state; as individual groups
and as a combined recreational entity. Having solid numbers
that outline the benefits of these trails allow our organizations
as well as the state and legislature to rightfully prioritize recreation in Vermont as a major source of tourism income and
local spending. Its high time that we all recognize this opportunity.
The Trails & Greenways Council is a non-profit organization established by the Vermont Legislature in 1995 whose
mission is to ensure that people will always have access to
adequate land and water-based trails and greenways in
Vermont. The Councils driving force is the diverse membership of organizations managing recreational trails systems and
infrastructure, and the cohesiveness that results from bringing
these groups together under a unified voice. The Trails and
Greenways Council assists the Department of Forests, Parks
and Recreation in shaping recreation policy and fosters partnerships with private organizations, municipalities, and trailbased communities.

Man Charged after Stealing Deer in Williamstown

Vermont State Game Wardens have charged


a Williamstown man after he stole a legal
buck hanging at another hunters home.
On November 14, Estey Manning, Jr. of
Rood Pond Road reported the theft of his 145
lb. buck to State Police. He had checked it in
two days earlier at the Farm and Country
Store, a local big game reporting station.
Manning provided a photo of the buck,
which had unique antlers, to a game warden.
On the same day Manning discovered his
deer was stolen, wardens learned that Joshua
B. Young, 26, of Williamstown had taken a

similar deer to the same reporting station


where Manning had checked in his deer.
Upon further investigation, Young was
found in possession of the stolen deer, which
he acknowledged he had stolen from
Manning.
Young was charged with transporting a
deer taken by another person without that
person present, a violation of Fish & Wildlife
law that carries a fine of $262 and the loss of
Youngs hunting fishing and trapping privileges for one year. He is scheduled to appear
at Orange Superior Court on Dec. 28, 2016.

NOW HERES A TIP


By JoAnn Derson

* When crumbs gather in the cracks


of your keyboard, turn it upside down
and give it a good shake to remove
most. Then, use the sticky side of a
Post-it note dragged between the
keys to clean out the rest.
* Save large platters that come with holiday trays to use
when bringing cookies or baked goods to other parties. That
way you dont have to bring home a platter, you can just leave
it and pass it on. -- E.G. in Kansas
* Schedule haircuts and nail appointments to coincide with
holiday parties. Then you wont have to worry about doing
your hair. It will still look nice from your beautician appointment. -- A.I. in Indiana
* I find that the best conversation starter when visiting a
large group of family or friends is a box or basket of photos.
It is inexpensive to print copies, and I have all my old photos
scanned anyway. Bringing them in a basket rather than in an
album works because we pass them around, and people can
take photos home with them. Sometimes, a picture will inspire
a story, and I might write it down on the back of the photo to
remember it and tuck it away. Its more than worth the $10$15 it costs to print pictures. -- L.W. in Virginia
* Try substituting cream cheese for sour cream in your
mashed potatoes for a dreamy, creamy alternative. Whip in
with a mixer and enjoy.
* Write return addresses on the back of holiday cards before
disposing of the envelope. They can be tucked away for next
years holiday cards list.

by Samantha Weaver
* It was noted American playwright and essayist Arthur
Miller who gave the following sage advice: Dont be
seduced into thinking that
that which does not make a
profit is without value.
* In the early 20th century,
celebrated racehorse Man o
War won 20 of his 21 career
races. Interestingly, his one
loss (often attributed to a terrible start and the extra weight
he was carrying) was to a
horse named Upset.
* Statistically speaking, you
probably live within 320
miles of the place you were
born.
* Have you ever experienced
a social situation in which
you have to introduce someone, but you cant quite
remember their name? In
Scotland, theres a word to
describe the hesitation caused
by that moment of panic: a
tartle.

* According to a poll conducted by outdoor recreation


retailer Gander Mountain,
almost half of all hunters
have some kind of ritual they
observe to increase their
chances for a lucky hunt.
Some hunters go the entire
season without shaving, some
start each hunt at a particular
time, some kiss the first bullet, some do an anti-rain
dance -- the variations are
endless.
* Getting married soon, but
working with a tight budget?
If youre considering cutbacks, you might not want to
put the honeymoon on the
chopping block. Researchers
have found that couples who
go on a honeymoon tend to
have longer-lasting marriages
than those who skip the trip
-- no matter how much or
how little you spend.
***
Thought for the Day:
If I seem to take part in politics, it is only because politics
encircles us today like the
coil of a snake from which
one cannot get out, no matter
how much one tries. I wish
therefore to wrestle with the
snake. -- Mahatma Gandhi
(c) 2016 King Features Synd., Inc.

* On Dec. 13, 1621, the first


American fur exports leave
for England aboard the
Fortune, only to be stolen by
the French. The colonists
later traded with Native
Americans, exchanging corn
for beaver skins, which were
in turn sold in England.
* On Dec. 18, 1777, the new
United States celebrates its
first national day of thanksgiving, commemorating the
American victory at the Battle
of Saratoga after the surrender of 5,000 British troops.
* On Dec. 14, 1799, the first
U.S. president, George
Washington, dies at his Mount
Vernon estate in Virginia.
Two days earlier, hed ridden
out into freezing sleet and
later refused to change out of
his wet clothes. The next day
he developed a severe respiratory infection.
* On Dec. 16, 1811, near
New Madrid, Missouri, an
estimated 8.6 magnitude
earthquake slams the region,
raising and lowering parts of
the Mississippi Valley by as

much as 15 feet. The quake


temporarily reversed the
direction of the Mississippi
River, giving rise to Reelfoot
Lake in Tennessee.
* On Dec. 17, 1903, near
Kitty Hawk, North Carolina,
Orville and Wilbur Wright
make the first successful
flight in history of a self-propelled, heavier-than-air aircraft. It stayed aloft for 12
seconds and covered 120
feet.
* On Dec. 12, 1989, Leona
Helmsley, nicknamed the
Queen of Mean by the
press, receives a four-year
prison sentence, 750 hours of
community service and a $7.1
million tax-fraud fine in New
York. Helmsley had once
quipped that only the little
people pay taxes.
* On Dec. 15, 1998, after
nearly 14 hours of debate, the
House of Representatives
approves two articles of
impeachment
against
President Bill Clinton. The
charges of lying under oath
and obstructing justice
stemmed from testimony
about his affair with former
White House intern Monica
Lewinsky. The Senate later
acquitted him of both charges.

Coca-Cola Tray
Q: I have a Coca-Cola tray
from 1924 entitled Touring
Car, which I believe is
worth in the $500-$750 range. Stamped on the back is
information that it was manufactured by the Ohio Art
Company under license from the Coca-Cola Company.
Where can I sell it?
-- Frances, Rio Rancho, NM
A: Your tray is not an original, but rather a reproduction
from 1988. It was sold in a set of four: Touring Car,
Village Blacksmith, Sea Captain and 1908 Calendar
Girl. A reproduction is worth much less than an original
item. I I found the set of four Coca-Cola trays on eBay
sealed and in factory packaging for $75. I also found a
single Touring Car tray offered for $11 at the same site.
One of the better reference books is Petrettis Soda Pop
Collectibles and Price Guide by Allan Petretti and published by Krause Books.
***
Q: I have a Mary Hartline doll that I played with during the
early 1950s. It is the Mary Hartline majorette doll, but the
one I have is missing its baton. I would like to know its
current value.
-- Rita, Monroe, NC
A: Mary Hartline was born Oct. 19, 1926, in Hillsboro,
Illinois. She eventually became a fashion model. In 1949,
Hartline was hired to appear in the network TV show
Super Circus. It was a big hit. During the 1950s she
became the inspiration for a series of games and toys,
including dolls. Your majorette doll would be worth about
$75 IF it had its baton and was in reasonable condition.
***
Q: I have a Mighty Mouse cereal bowl that I used as a child
during the 1970s. What can you tell me about it?
-- Ken, Beaumont, TX
A: Mighty Mouse was the rodent equivalent of Superman.
He was created by Paul Terry and was one of the bestknown Terrytoon characters. He made his first appearance
in 1942 as Supermouse, and was renamed Mighty Mouse
in 1944. According to the Official Hakes Price Guide of
Character Toys by Ted Hake and published by House of
Collectibles, your cereal bowl was made in 1977 by Deka
Plastic, Inc., and is valued in the $10-$35 range.

Recognize Potentially Dangerous Household Chemicals

All-purpose cleaners
Many cleaners list bleach
and ammonia among their
ingredients. Bleach may be
listed as sodium hypochlorite.
When used as directed in a
well-ventilated space, bleach
and ammonia can be relatively safe. However, fumes from
bleach or ammonia can cause
rashes and skin irritation and
irritate the eyes and respiratory tract. Bleach and ammonia should never be mixed
because mixing the two can
produce a deadly chloramine
gas.
Vinegar and baking soda can
be used as a replacement for
many household cleaning
products, and these alternatives have virtually no dangerous side effects.

Drain and oven cleaners


Many drain and oven cleaners contain lye (sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide), a chemical derived from
salt or wood ash that is used
to break down other substances, particularly those that are

sticky. Lye is quite caustic in


high amounts and extremely
alkaline, which can cause
burns and skin irritation. Lye
is also found in soaps and detergents. When handled correctly in safe amounts, lye
can be used safely. However,
it can be dangerous if it gets
into the hands of children or
is touched by pets.
Antibacterial products
Antibacterial soaps, lotions
and wipes may contain triclosan, triclocarban and at least
17 additional ingredients that
are linked to various negative
health effects. In September 2016, the U.S. Food and
Drug Administration banned
the use of these antibacterial
agents. These chemicals can
disrupt hormone cycles and
cause muscle weakness.
Theres no data demonstrating that over-the-counter
antibacterial soaps are better at preventing illness than
washing with plain soap and
water, the FDA said in a
press release issued shortly

DEAR
PAWS
CORNER: I wanted
to add to your recent
columns about feral
cats. Maybe some
cant be tamed, but
my friends and family would disagree.
I recently visited
with friends in North
Carolina and met their beautiful cat, Stormy. Their story
is this: They had been feeding this feral cat for some time
outside, and of course, he wouldnt come near them. Then
one night they heard a howling outside. Looking out, they
saw a mountain lion or panther, whatever they call them
there, threatening Stormy. They opened the door, and
Stormy came in, and never went outside again.
Another story I have is of a feral cat that was adopted
by my sons chickens! He has six chickens in his backyard
in Florida, and one day someone dropped off a very young
kitten. He got into the coop, but instead of running or
attacking, the kitten assumed those chickens were his parents! Now a full-grown cat, he remains mostly feral and
wont come inside my sons house, but he hangs out in the
chicken coop daily with his new family.
Hope your readers enjoy the stories!
-- John S., via email
DEAR JOHN: What amazing stories! Im glad both cats
found loving homes and new families. Thank you for sharing them.
Its rare for feral cats to be coaxed inside and become
fully domesticated cats that are comfortable around
humans. But for those that do find a home -- even if they
never quite cross the threshold of the house -- life can be
happier and more rewarding for them as well as the
humans who care for them.

Put Safe Travel At The Top Of Holidays Lists

Roughly 90 percent of holiday travel takes place by personal


vehicle, followed by air, bus and train, says the USDOT.
With so many people on the move, the risk for accidents and
other incidents increases. To keep the holidays enjoyable and
safe, travelers should remember to exercise caution.
Schedule a tune-up. Make sure your car is in good working
order. Check the air pressure in tires and get an oil change if
it is time. Other cars on the road may kick up salt and other
debris from the roadways, so be certain to top off windshield
washer uid to maintain adequate visibility.
Leave plenty of time. Expect trafc and leave extra time to
get to your destination. Hurrying may cause you to increase
your speed or make risky maneuvers behind the wheel that
can increase your risk of accident and injury. Leave extra
time as well for traveling through weather conditions like
snow and sleet.
Know various routes to the destination. Volume or accidents can result in road detours. Keep a paper map in the car
or rely on navigation systems.
Leave room for emergency supplies. Stock your vehicle
with a change of clothes, blankets, snacks and drinks, jumper

he nations highways and skyways


experience an inux of travelers during the
holiday season. People are on the move
over the last ve weeks of the calendar year,
traveling near and far to spend the holidays
with friends and family members they hold
dear. In fact, the United States Department
of Transportation says the Thanksgiving
and Christmas/New Years holiday periods
are among the busiest long-distance travel
periods of the year.

cables, a ashlight, and additional safety supplies. Drivers


should be prepared in the event of a breakdown.
Keep children entertained. A long trip can seem longer with
unhappy children in tow. Plan ahead with some activities to
keep kids occupied while on the road. Games, books, videos,
and music can ll the time. Make frequent stops so kids can
get out of the car and stretch. And dont forget to pack some
food and drinks to cut down on time-consuming rest stop
visits.
Take turns driving. Spending long hours behind the wheel
can cause fatigue. Share driving responsibilities with another
adult passenger to help avoid drowsy driving conditions. If
no one else is available to share the load, pull over and rest
from time to time.
Secure packages and luggage. Tie down items on roof
racks and in rear cargo areas of SUVs and vans so theyre
not moving around freely. In the event of an accident, items
that are not secured can be dangerous. Pack gifts and other
items so that the drivers line of sight is not impeded.
If holiday travel is in your future, remember to make safety
a priority.

HOLIDAY SAFETY

Safety First When Stringing Holiday Lights

oliday decorations help make a


special time of year even more
memorable. Whether youre hanging
mistletoe above a doorway or
decking the halls, safety must be a priority when
decorating a home for the holidays.

Accidents can happen no matter what type of holiday decorating


youre doing, but stringing holiday lights around your home may be
especially dangerous. This season, keep the following safety tips in
mind when stringing lights so this season of celebration starts off
safe and sound.
Work with at least one partner. Never go it alone when stringing holiday lights. Make sure someone is there to hold the ladder
steady as you climb up and down. Partnering up when stringing
holiday lights allows decorators to use both of their hands to climb
up ladders instead of using one of their hands to carry lights. Once
they reach a point where its safe to hang lights, they can then have
a helper hand them the lights. If possible, work in groups of three so
someone can hold the ladder steady at all times.
Inspect lights before hanging them. Lights are not built to last
forever, and over time holiday lights can suffer damage that has the
potential to be dangerous. Wires can fray, and sockets can crack or
break. Inspect lights and wires before hanging them, replacing any
that pose a hazard. When replacing bulbs, be sure to replace them
with bulbs of equal wattage.
Use an extension cord of adequate length. Exterior holiday lights
are often plugged into extension cords that extend to a shed or garage. Do not connect several extension cords to power holiday lights;
instead, use just a single cord thats lengthy enough to reach the

outlet. Connecting extension cords is a re hazard. In addition, make


sure the amperage of the decorations matches the amperage rating of
the extension cord, which can be found on the product label or possibly on the manufacturers website. Make sure the extension cord is
not plugged into the power source while you are hanging the lights.
Make sure lights do not pose a safety hazard inside. Some people
string holiday lights indoors as well. Lights might be hung on
Christmas trees or along hallways. Such lights and the cords connecting them to power sources should never pose safety hazards, so
make sure they are not lying on the oor. Staple lights to the wall
and never place them beneath furniture or rugs. Lights can overheat

when placed beneath rugs, and lights that are not properly secured
to a wall can pose certain dangers, including being potential tripping
hazards.
Hang the correct lights. When stringing lights, make sure you hang
lights designated as exterior lights on the exterior of your home and
those designated as interior lights inside your home. Hanging lights
in the wrong places poses a re hazard and creates additional safety
concerns, so adhere to manufacturer instructions when stringing
lights.
Safety should reign supreme when stringing holiday lights around
the house.
