THANK YOU FOR SAYING


I SAW IT IN

The Noyle Johnson Group would


like you to meet Kerri E. O'Connor

was raised right there in Central Vermont, graduating from Spaulding


High School in 2003. I've volunteered at the Vermont History Expo
since its inception, and donated my time to fundraisers like United Way
and Ducks Unlimited. You may have gotten to know me through the local
softball teams I play on and coach or on the slopes of our beautiful
Sugarbush.
As a local girl, I share the values of hometown Vermonters. I believe
strong roots start with family and community; working together to form
a society that we are proud to call home. I think an important part of this
picture is the peace of mind one has when they know their family, house,
and belongings are protected against the unknown.
We may not be able to predict catastrophe, but we can protect ourselves and our businesses. That's what I'm here for! It's always been
my career goal to improve the lives of my fellow Vermonters. As a
Noyle W. Johnson insurance agent, I have made it my mission to make
sure you and your loved ones have the protection you need at a price
you can afford.

The WORLD

January 4, 2017

By now everyone knows that the Barre


landmark business Demers Power
Equipment at 81 South Main - has closed and
its line of quality manufacturers and highly
rated service was sold to Aubuchon Hardware
and at least one other local small engine
retailer.
But not everyone knows that this
was a business
started over 66
years ago by Rheal
J. Demers in the basement of his home at 81
South Main St. in Barre.
Dennis Demers, Rheals son, pointed out
that at this post-war time the new lawn and
garden industry was beginning to grow rapidly and his father assimilated into this service industry very easily.
He repaired small air-cooled engines,
sharpened reel-type lawn mowers, and even
repaired bicycles, he said.
In 1950, Dennis Demers pointed out, Rheal
built a brand new building at 81 South Main
and added more services and new equipment
such as Toro, Simplicity, and Lawn Boy.
Demers Repair Shop was born!
Through a lot of hard work and long
hours with invaluable help from his wife,
Mary, as office clerk and bookkeeper, they
built a well respected lawn and garden business and bicycle servicing dealership, recalls
Dennis.
In 1970, Dennis, the oldest son, returned
from college and joined the family and
formed a corporation Demers Repair, Inc.
Then in 1972, Rheal and Marys second
son, Ed, joined the business as Office
Manager.
At this time, Rheal and Mary were able to
retire and Dennis became General Manager.
The business added Stihl products in
1976 and continued to grow, and in 1978 the
present building was expanded and remodeled, Dennis said.
In 1997, Ed left the business for an opportunity with the State of Vermont Tax
Department, and in 1998 Ken Boutin joined
the business, which started doing business as
Demers Power Equipment.
Dennis and Ken continued to grow the

business to become one of Stihls Elite


Dealers with a Gold Certified Service
Department, an achievement Dennis is still
very proud of.
Our Service Department has always been
great. Weve been lucky to have had exceptional mechanics/
technicians and
Ken is among the
best,
believes
Dennis.
Boutin is now
doing the same kind of small engine/power
equipment work for Aubuchon Hardware at
its beautiful new facility next door to Demers
Power Equipment on South Main Street.
Aubuchon assumed the Stihl product line in
which Boutin is a specialist.
Tucker Machines, further up on South
Main, assumed the Toro line of equipment
from Demers.
When Aubuchon made their big move to
South Main (next door), they approached me
on selling the business. At first I wasnt sure
but the more I thought about it and how close
to retirement I was, it became clear it was an
opportunity that might not come again,
Dennis said. All the pieces came together
nicely and Im really looking forward to having more time with my wife, Sandy, who has
done such a wonderful job as bookkeeper and
office clerk.
In the spring, Dennis will finish selling the
remaining used equipment and parts and
tools.
In Denniss 46 years in business, hes seen
a lot of changes in the small engine/power
equipment line - and in his own business.
Demers was big into bicycles with $10K of
inventory in the 70s, 80s, and early 90s, but
that industry faded as the outdoor power
equipment industry grew.
And there was consolidation in manufacturers that Demers carried like Toro buying
WheelHorse and Lawn Boy.
From mowers to bikes to snowblowers and
chainsaws, string trimmers, etc., Demers has
always had a reputation for having the best
and backed by the best service. They have
also always given back to the community.
They leave big shoes to follow!

New Year Brings New Opportunity for


Shared Prosperity; Public Assets Institute
Releases State of Working Vermont 2016

While Washington and the rest of the


nation sort out the meaning of a Donald
Trump presidency, new leaders in Montpelier
have an opportunity to address the needs of
low- and moderate-income Vermonters for
whom a secure middle-class life seems unaffordable and out of reach. A higher minimum
wage, access to high-quality child care, an
expanded public education system including
at least two years of college, and a program to
help workers save for retirement can address
the affordability problem for Vermonters
struggling to make ends meet.
Those are among the findings in the 2016
State of Working Vermont report published
Thursday by Public Assets Institute in
Montpelier.
This is the 10th year that Public Assets
has put out this annual State of Working
Vermont report. Its discouraging to see how
little has changed for low- and middle-income
Vermonters, said Paul Cillo, president and
executive director of Public Assets. The
message from voters this electionfrom

Bernie Sanders supporters on the left to


Trump supporters on the rightwas that our
political and economic systems need to serve
everyone, not just the wealthy and well-connected.
Here in Vermont, we have a new slate of
political leaders in the State House who can
take the state in a new direction. We hope this
report will help focus their attention on the
problems that many Vermonters face and
offer some constructive ideas for addressing
those problems.
Public Assets produces the State of Working
Vermont each year in conjunction with the
Economic Policy Institute in Washington,
D.C. This report highlights how working
Vermonters and their families were faring
economically at the end of 2015the latest
year for which most data are availableand
how conditions have changed, for better or
worse, in recent years. It is based on data
released by the U.S. Census, U.S. Bureau of
Labor Statistics, and other state and federal
agencies in 2016.

Extension Master Gardeners Help Cultivate Gardening Knowledge

By Kitty Werner
Extension Master Gardener
At the Barre Town schools, the Crops for Kids program is
teaching students and parents how to grow their own vegetables, while growing food for the school. In Rutland, the
Benson Heights Community Garden was created to help residents produce their own healthy food.
Taylor Park has become a major beautification project in
the middle of St. Albans. Its rain garden helps protect Lake
Champlain from rain runoffs hazardous particulates and
teaches homeowners and businesses what they can do to help
protect Vermonts waterways.
What do all these gardens have in common? University of
Vermont Extension Master Gardeners (EMG). These volunteers earn their certification by completing a comprehensive
13-week home horticulture course and a 40-hour internship.
The course is offered annually, with the next one starting Feb.
7. Details may be found at www.uvm.edu/mastergardener.
The EMGs use their training to teach others how to grow
nutritious food and keep pests at bay using Integrated Pest
Management practices and other natural means. They also
share ways to maintain a safe, healthy environment from making a small town square more inviting by adding a flower
garden to creating gardens to bring back pollinators.
The North Branch Nature Center in Montpelier has done
just that with its pollinator garden, developed with the help of
Master Gardeners, thats used to teach children, as well as
adults, about the importance of pollinators in natures ecosystems. The gardens at South Burlingtons Wheeler Park provide food for the participating gardeners and the local food
shelf while teaching visitors and gardeners the best practices
for a variety of gardening projects from food to flowers.
Many of the EMG projects have help from other non-profits, such as Waterburys Rotary Club that helps maintain the
town square that is used for the weekly farmers market and
concerts throughout the summer.

Master Gardeners also work with schools. In Rochester,


Spanish and Food and Consumer Science teacher Marcella
Carroll has her students, as well as other teachers, plant their
own gardens in a space they carved out of a hillside next to
the school. When students in her class are hungry, they harvest fresh vegetables and cook it with their teacher.
Teaching is also an important component of The Garden at
485 Elm Street in Montpelier. It was created for the same
purpose--to teach residents how to grow their own healthy
food as well as extra produce for local residents in need.
Kitty Werner, a Waitsfield resident, has been an Extension
Master Gardener since 2008 and currently serves as program
support for the three northern Master Gardener chapters.

Community Responds
Generously to Capstone
and VSECUs Fuel Your
Neighbors Initiative

In less than a month, the Fuel Your Neighbors campaign has


raised over $24,000 to support emergency food and heating
assistance for vulnerable central Vermont households.
Capstone Community Action and VSECU a credit union
for everybody in Vermont with support from The Point
FM, teamed up to launch Fuel Your Neighbors, an initiative to
raise $50,000 in three months to help prevent community
members from going to sleep cold and hungry this winter.
To inspire others to take part, VSECU offered to match the
first $10,000 donated to magnify the impact of each donation.
The community responded with incredible generosity and
now three generous donors, including Red Hen Baking Co.,
have joined offering an additional $15,000 in matching funds.
This enables every donation to be matched to reach the fundraising goal.
Winter is a tough time for thousands of central Vermonters.
Families often must choose between basic necessities like
food and heat and children and seniors are the most vulnerable
in these difficult situations. This year Capstone will work with
over 7,000 people to help put food on their table and keep the
heat on during the cold winter months.
We are thrilled by the early success of this effort, said
Dan 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. We are grateful for the generosity of VSECU
and our community to meet this pressing need.
Fuel Your Neighbors quickly inspired many to take action
in support of our community members in need, said Rob
Miller, CEO of VSECU. It is a wonderful example of what
we as Vermonters do so well come together to help each
other. We are immensely proud to be part of this effort.

Sustainable Montpelier Finalist Presentations


Who will win the $10,000 First Prize?

NetZeroVT.org asked the question, What


would Montpelier be like in 2030, if innovative transportation, energy efficiency and
beneficial social ideas are implemented to
transform our downtown?
They initiated the Sustainable Montpelier
Design Competition. This past fall 20 architectural teams from all over the world submitted their designs for the first round. Over 700
people viewed the entries at the NetZeroVT.
org pop-up at the old One More Time location
or viewed the designs online and then voted
for their five favorite entries. The finalists
have each made a five-minute video describing their design concept and have submitted
their final summary drawings which are now
on display at Montpeliers City Hall and online at NetZeroVT.org.
The design teams were excited to participate in this project as it offers them the unique
challenge of doing an entire urban redesign.
Ideas offered by the design teams include:
creating parks along the rivers, a gondola
from Taylor Street to National Life, new
housing with the flexibility to also be config

ured as Maker Space, and a greater emphasis


on satellite parking with bikes, pedestrian
paths and a trolley to get people where they
need to go more quickly. When you have
looked at the designs you will see many more
wonderful ideas.
On Saturday, January 7 from 3-5:30 p.m. at
the Pavilion Auditorium, each of the architectural teams will each give a 20-minute presentation of their summary designs followed
by a 10-minute Q&A. As tickets have been
going fast, a satellite location has been created at the Unitarian Church where the community can come together to watch the event
and submit questions to be answered by the
design teams. There will be a door prize raffle
for energy efficient prizes. ORCA will be
streaming the event on TV as well. Free tickets are available at NetZeroVT.org and at
Capitol Stationers. Voting for the winner of
the $10,000 prize will run online and at City
Hall January 8-12. The winner will be
announced at the Oak Creek Room at the
Statehouse January 18 at 10 a.m.

Montpelier Installs Smart Parking Meters

Last month, Montpelier began installing


more than 450 IPS Mark III smart meters
across downtown. These smart meters, that
accept credit and debit cards as well as coins,
will replace all coin-only meters on city
streets and in parking lots thus making it
easier and more convenient to pay for parking
in Downtown Montpelier.
These new smart meters have a host of
user-friendly features, including large, backlit
screens that can inform motorists when a
meter is not being enforced for a holiday or
special event. Additionally, easy to see red
and green LEDs make it easy to see when
your meter has expired.
The installation of these meters is the
culmination of a three year process during
which time input was sought from Montpeliers
Parking Committee, the City Council, and the
Department of Planning and Community
Development. Police Chief Anthony Facos
was a driving force behind pushing for this
innovative and forward-thinking solution to

Montpeliers parking problems. Its not a


panacea but it certainly provides the customer
a greater level of convenience, said
Community Development Specialist Kevin
Casey. The city received the meters at no cost
but will pay a monthly technology fee.
In addition to the credit card enabled
meters the city has purchased 10 next generations IPS Mark V meters with Sensors. These
meters can determine the availability of a
space, the occupancy rate of the space, the
length of time per occupant, and the turnover
rate. Data collected from these smart meters
will help determine whether the enforcement
hours reflect the actual use of the space, and
if a meters placement or hours should be
reassessed. This will provide us with more
data to make informed parking policy decisions moving forward.
The new meters will not accept the cash
key technology. Residents who have a cash
key, may bring it to the City Clerks Office
and will be issued reimbursement.

Pianist Simone Dinnerstein


to Perform at Chandler

Simone Dinnerstein will perform a recital


at Chandler Music Hall on Saturday evening,
January 21 at 7:30 p.m. This talented pianist
has made her way into the hearts of Randolph
audiences over the years and this will be her
ninth appearance at the Chandler Steinway.
Dinnerstein is a critically lauded musician
whose thoughtful, compelling interpretations
continue to captivate audiences worldwide.
She returns to Chandler with an innovative
program contrasting piano compositions by
Franz Schubert with late works of Phillip
Glass, creating a circular dialogue between
two seemingly different styles of music. On
the program will be a collection of Schubert
impromptus and the Sonata #21, juxtaposed
with three etudes and Metamorphosis One by
Glass, the latter familiar to fans of the TV
show, Person of Interest, having been the
music of the series finale.
A critic from the New York radio station
WQXR wrote that The real gems in Glasss
recent repertoire are his chamber music, his
instrumental solos, and in particular these
Piano Etudes, which include some of the most
beautiful and inventive music of his late
period. The New York times has called the
20 etudes some of Glasss best, most harmonically inventive music.
The New York-based pianist gained an
international following with the remarkable
success of her recording of Bachs Goldberg
Variations, which she independently raised
the funds to record. Released in 2007 on
Telarc, it ranked No. 1 on the U.S. Billboard
Classical Chart in its first week of sales and

was named to many Best of 2007 lists


including those of The New York Times, The
Los Angeles Times, and The New Yorker.
NPR has expressed that she compels the
listener to follow her in a journey of discovery filled with unscheduled detours...Shes
actively listening to every note she plays, and
the result is a wonderfully expressive interpretation.
Now Dinnersteins performance schedule
takes her on frequent trips around the world.
Since her acclaimed New York recital debut
at Carnegie Halls Weill Recital Hall in 2005
she has performed in venues including the
Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts,
Vienna Konzerthaus, Berlin Philharmonie,
Sydney Opera House, Seoul Arts Center, and
Londons Wigmore Hall; festivals that include
the Lincoln Center Mostly Mozart Festival,
the Aspen, Verbier, and Ravinia festivals; and
performances with the Vienna Symphony
Orchestra,
Dresden
Philharmonic,
Staatskapelle Berlin, RAI National Symphony
Orchestra, Royal Scottish National Orchestra,
Czech Philharmonic, Danish National
Symphony Orchestra, New York Philharmonic,
Minnesota Orchestra, Atlanta Symphony,
Baltimore Symphony, Montreal Symphony
Orchestra, Melbourne Symphony Orchestra,
Orquestra a Sinfonica Brasileira, the Tokyo
Symphony, and very recently Cubas National
Youth Orchestra in Havana.
Tickets for the Chandler concert are available online at www.chandler-arts.org or by
calling the box office at (802) 728-6464
weekdays 12 to 5 p.m.

Medicare Welcome
vs. Wellness Visits

SUPER CROSSWORD

Those who are new to Medicare


have to sort out a lot of information in a hurry. One area of
confusion is the difference between the Welcome to Medicare
doctor visit and the annual Wellness Visit.
You get the Welcome visit once, in the first 12 months of
your enrollment in Medicare. You get the annual Wellness
visit a year later and every year after that.
What to expect from your Welcome visit:
Counseling, mostly. Your weight, exercise, diet, current
drugs, blood pressure, possible depression, general physical
condition, family medical history and more will be discussed
in a 45-minute visit. They might do a basic vision test and a
body mass index. A plan will be provided for screenings, shots
or tests. The Wellness visit doesnt cost you anything.
If youre expecting a full physical at that time, you wont
get it.

MAGIC MAZE

Your annual Wellness visit:


You qualify for this appointment if youve had Part B for
longer than 12 months. Youll have to fill out a health-risk
questionnaire as a means for the medical staff to develop a
prevention plan for you. If you have the Original Medicare,
you wont pay anything for the annual exam, unless additional tests are performed at the same time and those tests
arent covered.
Some of those tests that might be requested include prostate
cancer, HIV, colorectal cancer, cardiovascular disease, breast
cancer, diabetes and glaucoma. Certain tests and screenings
are free.
Be sure to ask for the FREE Medicare Wellness visit ... not
a physical. If you end up with a full physical (depending how
you ask for the appointment), thinking its a free Wellness
visit, you could well be charged for various tests. On the other
hand, if you do want a full head-to-toe physical, be specific
because you wont get it at the Wellness visit either.

Wreath-making was a popular workshop at Ainsworth Public Library last month. The free workshop was part of the new Williamstown
Academy workshops that teach community members diverse skills.

Williamstown Academy is a Big Hit at Ainsworth Public Library

By Aaron Retherford
Author Alfred Mercier once said, What we learn with
pleasure we never forget.
A Williamstown couple has taken that quote to heart and
made it the foundation for the newly created Williamstown
Academy workshops hosted at Ainsworth
Public Library.
With his wife Helen, who volunteers at the
library, Bill Johnson created the series of free
workshops that include anything from learning
how to create penny rugs to brushing up on
your quilting and sewing skills to learning how
to grow apple trees or raise poultry.
And these workshops could not have come at
a better time when winter can cut down on
available free activities.
We think its probably the best time because
in the summer people are all going off on vacation, Bill Johnson said, while adding, Theyre
a great deal of fun. It just seemed like a great
thing to do for the community, so they had
something to do this winter and interesting
things for people to do.
Bill Johnson used to run Liberty Orchard, so
hes looking forward to spreading his knowledge on how to grow apples. Hell also lead the
ABCs of Seed Starting workshop as a successful gardener for over 30 years.
These workshops are held at 10 a.m. most

Onion River Exchange


Re-opens Tool Library

On Tuesday, Onion River Exchange re-opened its tool


library in Montpelier.
The tool library was created in 2015 with support from the
Home Depot Foundation and the Ben and Jerrys Foundation.
In 2016, with support from the Oakland Foundation, ORE
was able to significantly expand its inventory of tools. Now
there are more than 100 tools members can borrow, including
a food-canning set, cordless circular saw, food dehydrator,
hand-held electric planer, power washer, heat gun, soldering
kit, soil tester, electric hedge trimmer, post hole digger and
battery-powered weed wacker.
Since 2008, the Onion River Exchange (ORE) time bank
has helped hundreds of central Vermonters exchange services
using time instead of money to access the skills and talents of
our community: a network of helping hands.
Heres how it works. When one member provides a service
to another member, time credits are earned that can be
exchanged to receive a service, saved for future needs, or
even donated to another member or organization. Services
cover a broad range from cooking, shoveling snow, driving
someone to an appointment, piano lessons, helping with tax
preparation or dealing with computer troubles. ORE members
have made more than 15,000 exchanges, sharing more than
44,500 service hours in 80 categories.
ORE has expanded its mission to include a lending library
of tools.
ORE members may borrow the tools as part of their membership of $25. Before borrowing, ORE asks you to be a
member, show residency proof, sign a liability waiver, abide
by Tool Library guidelines, and to make a 20% deposit (or $5
minimum) to be returned upon receipt of tools brought back.
Checkout is for one week and may be renewed if there is no
reserve. Late fees, like a library, do apply: $2. a week per
tool.
ORE is currently accepting tool donations.
In 2017, the Onion River Exchange plans to recruit new
members, improve member services, work more closely with
other nonprofits, and have a lively Tool Library. The Onion
River Exchange also offers member-led workshops, music
events and other community awareness projects. Membership
is $25. a year which includes being able to borrow tools from
the Tool Library.
Onion River Exchange is located at 46 Barre Street in
Montpelier. Hours are Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
from 9-4. For more information or to donate tools call
802.661.8959.

Saturdays until the beginning of March. There are also three


additional Tuesday workshops at 6 p.m. on Jan. 10 and March
7 and at 10 a.m. March 14.
Make sure to register for each class by calling the library at
802-433-5887. Brochures with full descriptions of the workshops are also available at the
library.

Engagement photo tips

ewly engaged couples choose to


capture the occasion in photos
that they can cherish. Often,
one of these photos is used as
an announcement to family and friends and
might even be published in the newspaper.

Engagement photos may be part of a package negotiated with the


photographer who will be covering the wedding day. Some couples
enlist the help of a friend or a budding photographer to capture an
engagement shot. The average cost of engagement photos can range
from $200 to $500. Some couples opt to use a photographer who
might specialize in other areas (i.e. fashion models) but may want to
break into the wedding biz because of how lucrative it can be. Costs
may be negotiated as a result.
When shopping around for a photographer, there are certain things
couples should keep in mind. The rst and most important is selecting a photographer you can relate to. If you dont feel a connection
with the photographer, he or she will have trouble coaxing the shots
that will produce the best results. He or she should also be a professional and have some experience working with posing couples. This
way the photos dont look stiff or contrived. Here are some other tips
that can lead to great photos.
* Find a photographer who ts your style. If youre a quirky couple,
go with a quirky photographer. If youre reserved and a follow-thebook type of couple, then select a more traditional photographer.
Some photographers out there forget that this is your moment and
want to impart their idea of what you want. Make sure he or she
takes your ideas into consideration.
* Select one who is open to different shoot locations and brainstorming. Some of the best photos occur in natural settings, where things
arent entirely planned. If a photographer simply works out of a
studio, you may want to select one who has more free reign with
different locales.
* Choose your location wisely. Certain locations will stand out in
your minds because they are visually stunning or are special places
where you have spent moments as a couple. By choosing a place that
offers a personal connection, theres a good chance youll appreciate
the photos in the long run. Also, be open to the fact that unplanned
stops may offer a great background for the image. Be open to the
unexpected.

* Try random poses and some candid shots. Although you might
have a vision of the perfect photo in your mind, experimenting with
different ideas can sometimes lead to a great photo you really love.
Expect to take your share of kissing, nose-touching and portrait
shots. But some fun poses, such as running or jumping (or rolling
around on a beach full of waves) can produce candid shots that are
truly masterpieces. Remember, sometimes photographers will pose
you in positions that seem a bit awkward, but this is to get the best
lines of the body and attering images.
* Choose clothing that ts the mood. If time and budget allows,
have several different wardrobe changes so that you can see which
outts work and which ones dont. A formal outt, comfortable street
clothes, something beachy or clothing that ts with your interests
(such as polo or baseball) can make for interesting engagement photos. Avoid clothing that is too trendy or busy, which may take away
from the actual images in the long run. Plus, you dont want to look
back at these photos in the future and say, What was I thinking?
Avoid matchy-matchy, though. If you are dressed alike, you may appear to be trying too hard. Its the individual personalities you want
to shine through.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19)


A hectic period begins to wind
down. Take time to draw some
deep breaths and relax before
getting into your next project.
A long-absent family member makes contact.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) Youre eager to move forward with a new challenge that suddenly dropped in your
lap. But youd be wise to take this one step at a time to
allow new developments to come through.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Youre almost ready to make
a commitment. A lingering doubt or two, however, should
be resolved before you move ahead. An associate could
provide important answers.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) Caution is still the watchword as you move closer toward a decision about a new
situation. If you act too fast, you might miss some vital
warning signs. Go slowly and stay alert.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) Your new goal looks promising, and your golden touch does much to enhance its prospects for success. In your private life, Cupid does his best

Hospitalist Nurse Practitioner


Sarah Cunningham, Joins Gifford

said. Project management experience makes


me aware of moving a project forward or,
translated to nursing and medicine, using
every opportunity to help advance a patients
overall health.
A board certified Adult Nurse Practitioner,
Cunningham received a BS in Nursing and a
Masters in Adult Gerontological Nursing
from the University of Pennsylvania School
of Nursing. She trained clinically at the VA
hospital in Philadelphia.
Recently she took a year off from work to
white-water kayak in Bhutan and Ecuador,
and she spent 18 days kayaking in the Grand
Canyon last Christmas. Now back in Vermont,
she continues to kayak, cross-country ski, and
play hockey (a team sport she learned at age
40!).

Nurse Practitioner Sarah Cunningham has


joined Gifford Medical Centers Hospitalist
team. For the last 13 years she has worked as
a nurse practitioner at the VA Hospital in
White River Junction in the Primary Care;
Oncology; and Ear, Nose, and Throat departments.
Cunningham came to nursing with a masters in Landscape Architecture and experience in wetland restoration design for the
Nature Conservancy and at an engineering
firm. In her 30s she returned to school to
train as a nurse practitioner.
No one was more surprised than my family when I went back to school, but going to
nursing school felt like coming home. I love
working one-on-one with people, and my
experience in systems ecology helps me to
better understand patients histories, she

Brain Aneurysm: Causes, Symptoms And Treatments

& WELLNESS CLINIC

Health Care for the Uninsured
Health Care for the Uninsured

BY MICHAEL ROIZEN, M.D., AND MEHMET OZ, M.D.

haron Stone had emergency surgery for a


brain aneurysm in 2001 at age 43. Shes
said she knew something was terribly wrong
when she experienced severe head pain that
felt like a bullet to the brain. And while she
recalls that post-surgery she had to learn to
walk, hear, write, talk, remember and everything all over again, she told Oprahs Master
Class in 2014 that shes done just that!
What is an aneurysm?
An aneurysm is a bulge or ballooning in the wall of a blood
vessel; if it bursts, it causes internal bleeding. It can happen in
the aorta, the major blood vessel from your heart that supplies
blood to the rest of your organs; in a section of the aorta that
runs through your abdomen (an abdominal aneurysm) or
through your chest (thoracic aortic aneurysm); in blood vessels in your legs, groin or neck (peripheral aneurysm); or in
the blood vessels supplying blood to your brain.
Brain aneurysm: The bulge in the blood vessel usually happens in the space between the brain and the thin tissues that
cover it. If a brain aneurysm ruptures (bursts), it produces a
subarachnoid hemorrhage, and pooling blood pushes on the
brain. That can cause a sudden, severe headache, blurred
vision, light sensitivity, a stiff neck, seizure, confusion or loss
of consciousness. Not only does the hemorrhage increase
pressure on the brain, but the area of the brain that would have
received oxygen-rich blood is shortchanged, resulting in a
stroke. Forty percent of the time, a ruptured brain aneurysm
is fatal.
Sometimes, however, a brain aneurysm doesnt rupture; it
leaks, causing sentinel (warning) headaches, which can be
sudden and severe. These usually happen between a week to
a month before the aneurysm ruptures, giving patients and
docs enough time to take preventive measures.
But most brain aneurysms dont rupture or leak; in fact,
they may not cause symptoms and are detected only through
tests for some other issue. However, if an unruptured brain
aneurysm presses on brain tissue or nerves, it may trigger pain
behind or above an eye, a dilated pupil, blurred vision or
numbness and weakness on one side of the face. If you experience any of these symptoms, see your doctor immediately.

Risk factors for a brain aneurysm: They


mostly happen in folks 35 to 60 and are most
common in women over age 40 (like Sharon).
Theyre associated with smoking; hypertension;
a congenital defect in an artery wall; a family
history of aneurysms; and other conditions, such
as an infection, a tumor, a traumatic head injury
or use of cocaine. Most ruptures, however, are
attributed to smoking and high blood pressure.
Treatment for an UNruptured brain aneurysm:
Observation or surgery? The decision is made on an individual basis, depending on how doctors assess the short- and
long-term risks of a rupture compared with the risks of intervention.
The Cleveland Clinics Cerebrovascular Center says that
your age, your overall health and the location of the aneurysm
determine treatment options. A craniotomy, or open surgery,
goes in through the skull, allowing docs to tie off the ballooning part of the blood vessel, hopefully reducing the risk of
rupture. Endovascular surgery, performed through a flexible
tube threaded through the blood vessels, allows the surgeon to
coil a platinum wire inside the ballooning pouch, triggering a
blood clot that protects the aneurysm from rupturing.
Treatment for ruptured brain aneurysm: If the aneurysm
ruptures, doctors will try to ease pain, evacuate the blood and
prevent complications such as seizures and vasospasms, while
they repair the tear.
Smart Steps for YOU: To reduce risk for a brain aneurysm
and head for a younger RealAge, the Cleveland Clinic says
its important to: not smoke; exercise regularly; eat a balanced
diet (no trans and few sat fats); get help for alcohol and/or
drug abuse; and especially control high blood pressure
through medications and lifestyle upgrades. Now, thats using
your brain.

A Spoonful of Facts about Medication Disposal

Parents have been dosing out


lots of questions about what to do
when they find that their childrens
or even their own medicines have
expired and wonder if they are still
good to give. If a medication has
expired, even an over the counter
(OTC) medication, it means that
medication most likely has lost its
effectiveness and needs to be disposed of
but in a way that does not hurt the environment or your children.
So what do you do to get rid of an expired
medication? Federal guidelines state that no
prescription or OTC medication should be
flushed down a toilet or washed down a sink
unless the label says it is safe to do so.
Instead, talk with your local police and ask
whether or not they have a prescription drug
collection take back program, which is the
safest way to dispose of unused medication.
Another idea is to see if your community has
a hazardous waste, trash or recycling program, of if your local pharmacy or hospital
has been identified by the Drug Enforcement
Agency as an authorized collector of expired
drugs. If not, you can still dispose of your
medications at home but you should do so in
the following way:
Before discarding an expired or unused
drug, it is important to mix it with coffee
grounds, kitty litter, dirt or another undesirable substance and seal it in a plastic bag so
others who demonstrate prescription drug
abuse and look in trash bins for such drugs

will be less interested in taking


your drugs. Pets can also scavenge
in the trash and discover these
thrown-out drugs. In fact, discarded human medications are the leading cause of pet poisoning.
As to the empty bottle or plastic
vial that held the drug, throw that
out as well or recycle it. But first
cross out or mark over the label, especially
the prescription number, so others cannot
access that prescription if they find the vial.
Whatever you do, do not give expired or
unexpired prescription medication designated
for one family member to other family members or friends to use, since something that
works for one person could be dangerous for
someone else.
If you have questions about disposal of an
unused or expired medication, your childs
health care professional or local pharmacist
can help.
Hopefully tips like this will dispose of any
concerns you have when it comes to knowing
more about medication disposal.

Steps involved with estate planning


Paul C. Allen

Paul C. Allen, 62, of Camp Street, died


peacefully at his home on December 26,
2016, with his loving wife and children at
his bedside. If anyone witnessed the breathtaking sunrise that morning, it was Pauls
way of telling his family he had arrived
safely in Gods hands.
Born April 4, 1954 in Barre City, he was
the son of Robert and Silvia (Watkins)
Allen. He graduated from Spaulding High School in 1972 and
attended Vermont Technical College in Randolph, VT. On July
27, 1974, he married his high school sweetheart and the love
of his life, Helen Lajeunesse, and they lived together in Barre
Town. Paul started his career in 1968 at the family business,
Allen Lumber Co. Working alongside his four brothers, Gary,
Burnie, Tom and Steven, he took great pride in the community and being able to continue the family business more than
one hundred years later. Pauls memberships included the
Barre Universalist Church, Country Club of Barre, and the Mt.
Sinai Shrine Temple #3 of Montpelier. He served on the
Washington County Railroad and the Barre Area Development
Boards.
Paul loved spending time in his garage with family and
friends, Thursday afternoons at the Country Club of Barre,
summer time with the family at Partridge Lake in Littleton,
NH, and special times with his four grandchildren. In addition
to his wife Helen, he is survived by his three children and their
spouses, Bob Allen of Vail, CO, Mark and Brianne Allen of
Needham, MA, Catherine (Allen) and Todd Quinn of
Blairstown, NJ, his four grandchildren, Elsie, Emily, Avery
and Sawyer, and his aunt Betty Reid of Barre.
Paul fought a courageous battle against an aggressive cancer diagnosis. When he was told of his short life expectancy,
he continued to approach life as he always had, with a positive
outlook, strong work ethic, and a love and devotion to his family.
Upon Pauls request, there will be no calling hours. A celebration of Pauls life will be held at the Barre Universalist
Church on Friday December 30th at 2 p.m.
In lieu of flowers, the family is requesting memorial contributions to be sent to Camp Ta-Kum-Ta, P.O. Box 459 South
Hero, VT 05486. Camp Ta-Kum-Ta is a summer camp for
children diagnosed with cancer, an organization that was very
dear to Pauls heart.
The Hooker and Whitcomb Funeral Home, 7 Academy
Street, Barre, is in charge of the arrangements. For a memorial guestbook, visit www.hookerwhitcomb.com

lthough inevitable, death is an emotional subject thats


difcult to discuss. While estate planning can make
people uncomfortable, it is an essential part of securing assets for future generations and can make a death in the
family easier for loved ones to handle.
Estate planning is an umbrella term that refers to a host of
things that must be done prior to a persons death, including
writing a will and even making funeral arrangements. Estate
planning attempts to eliminate nancial uncertainties and
maximize the value of an estate, and allows men and women
to state their wishes with regard to long-term healthcare and
guardianship for their children.
When done right, estate planning can prevent family feuds
and ensure that the deceaseds estate stays in the hands of
family rather than being relegated to the government. Estate
planning can be a complex process, so men and women should
seek help to ensure the process goes smoothly.
GETTING STARTED

Estate planning should begin early in a persons life,


especially for young parents. Its easy to talk about saving for
a home or retirement, but its not so simple to discuss who
will care for your children should you die while they are still
minors.
Those who are not able to sort through these answers on
their own should enlist the help of an attorney or a nancial
adviser, both of whom can take some of the emotion out of the
discussion and put it in more practical terms.
THE WILL

A will is an important component of estate planning. Without clearly and legally spelling out your wishes, there is no
guarantee that those wishes will be honored. It will be up to a
state or province to make potentially life-altering decisions that

East Barre, Vermont, Post Office, which was then passed to


Ken, whose family still owns it to this day. He has been a
member of the American Legion Post #10 in Barre, Vermont,
since 2003. Kenneth loved his family and his daughters dogs,
Molly and Jack. He will be greatly missed and his memory
will live on forever in our hearts.
PERRY W. HODGDON, 79, died
Wednesday, Dec. 21, 2016, at his
home. He was born Jan. 4, 1937, in Greenfield,
Massachusetts, the son of Ferrand and Grace
(Perry) Hodgdon. After graduating from Vermont
School of Agriculture in Randolph Center in
1955, he went to work for Tom Whittier and Bill
Whitney fitting and showing cattle for sale at auction. He also
auctioneered with his grandfather, D. A. Perry. He was married to Carol Bagley in Hardwick June 19, 1964. Mr. Hodgdon
was a dairy farmer and a Vermont Dairy Herd Improvement
Association milk tester for Orange County and the CabotCalais region, and served on their board. He was a director for
Region 9 of Agri-Mark, and sat on their board. He received the

YVETTE CARMEN ROY, started the next


journey of her life to the gateways of Heaven on
Dec. 26, 2016, with her loving family by her
side. She was a very beautiful person on the
inside and out who enjoyed life very much.
Anyone who met her knew she was a caring
friend to all. She was also a grandmother, great-

can impact your surviving family members, and the only way
to ensure your wishes will be carried out is to put them into a
will.
Although men and women can write their own wills, many
people prefer to seek the assistance of an attorney, who can
make sure all necessary details are included in the will.
MEDICAL DIRECTIVES

In addition to a will, estate planning includes your wishes


if you become incapacitated or suffer from a serious medical
condition that precludes you from making decisions about your
care and nances. Spouses can be named to make important
health decisions, but you may want to indicate other information, such as life support measures or organ donation, as well.
If you have strong opinions on treatment, medical directives
and living wills are a necessity.
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS

Another aspect of estate planning concerns funeral arrangements. Many people prefer to make their own funeral and
burial plans so that these heart-wrenching decisions do not fall
on the shoulders of grieving family members. Funeral planning
may include choosing a burial plot, selecting a casket, indicating cremation, and paying for everything in advance so there
is no nancial burden on surviving family members. According to the funeral planning website Efuneral.com, the average
cost of a funeral in the United States in 2012 was more than
$8,500 for a burial service and $3,700 for a cremation. Thats a
considerable expense that you may not want surviving family
members to pay.
Estate planning is a process that is difcult to discuss, but
one that is essential to maximize your assets and ensure your
end-of-life wishes are honored.

grandmother, sister and aunt who was a blessing from God to


all of us. Born in Kingscroft, Quebec, Canada, on Nov. 29,

Graniteville before moving to Barre where together they
raised their seven children. She enjoyed playing cards, watching EWTN, westerns, soap operas and playing bingo in her
earlier years. She also enjoyed traveling to many places in the
United States and Europe but especially enjoyed spending
precious time with her family. Yvette had a kind heart, a good
sense of humor, and treated everyone nicely even while she
was very sick in the hospital. Her faith helped her get through
a lot of difficult times. She was employed as a housekeeper
and also worked at St. Monicas Rectory in Barre. She was a
member of St. Monica Catholic Church of Barre.

CVEDC Announces New Microloan Fund for 2017


for Central Vermont Businesses

Central Vermont Economic Development Corporation


announces the availability of financing through their newly
created Microloan Fund. The revolving loan fund will work
with area lenders to identify gap funding needs for growing
businesses in the region.
Borrowers must have 10 or fewer employees, have been in
business for at least one year, be located in CVEDCs service
territory, and provide full time livable wage jobs. Loans
will range between $5,000 and $20,000, and may be subordinated to a senior lender.
This is a first step for CVEDC to develop additional tools
that we can use to support economic development in the

region. We are looking to focus on those companies with the


greatest potential for creating jobs that support a high quality
of life for working Vermonters. We will work closely with our
local loan officers to identify projects where we can leverage
our funds with traditional bank financing to have the greatest
impact, said Jamie Stewart, CVEDC Executive Director.
Businesses interested in learning more or to request a brochure can contact the CVEDC office by phone at (802)-2234654, or by e-mail at cvedc@sover.net.
CVEDC serves Washington County and the towns of
Orange, Washington, and Williamstown in central Vermont.

Union Bank Recognized by the Small Business


Administration for Increased Lending to Small Businesses

Union Bank was recently honored with two awards, highest


volume growth and 3rd highest loan volume by the U.S.
Small Business Administration (SBA). Lenders from financial institutions throughout Vermont gathered at the Capitol
Plaza in Montpelier Dec. 8 for the Small Business
Administrations Annual Meeting and Awards event.
The event recognized the leading SBA lenders based on
total SBA loan volume by dollars and numbers of SBA
backed loans made during fiscal year Oct. 1, 2015 through
Sept. 30, 2016.
Union Bank had the highest loan volume increase of all
Vermont lenders in the fiscal year increasing from one 7(a)
loan in 2015 to 20 in 2016. The 20 SBA loans were worth
approximately $1.7 million dollars. Union Banks loans were
made to a variety of industries including a brewery, sporting
goods store, construction contractor, manufacturer and an RV
park.

We are pleased to receive this honor from the SBA, said


David Silverman, President and Chief Executive Officer. We
are committed to providing the needed financing to small
businesses in the communities we serve. Our relationship
with the SBA has been excellent for both the Bank and our
customers, allowing us to offer competitive loan products and
highly skilled lenders across our service area.
SBA loan volume by dollars increased in Vermont by 6
percent from $53.5 million in 2015 to $56.6 million in 2016.
The number of SBA backed small business loans in Vermont
increased 6 percent from 262 loans in 2015 to 330 loans in
2016.
The 7(a) Loan Program is the most common SBA loan and
is used for equipment, inventory and working capital with no
minimum and a maximum of $5 million. The SBA supported
258 7(a) loans in Vermont worth more than $40 million. The
average loan amount for 7(a) in FY16 was $155,254.

Tips For Realizing Goals


In The Year Ahead

The dawn of a new year represents a chance to start anew


and set goals for the months ahead. New Years resolutions
are often made to provide the motivation people need to
improve their lives and make a new year as productive and
happy as possible.
While people who make New Years resolutions fully
intend to realize those goals, few actually stick to the game
plan. The following tips can help adults realize their goals for
the new year and beyond.
Emphasize time management. Hectic schedules can quickly
derail resolutions. Many people want to eat healthier and
exercise more but find their time is stretched pretty thin,
which can make it difficult to get to the gym or prepare
healthy meals at home. Finding ways to manage time more
effectively can make it easier to stay committed to New Years
resolutions. Right down your daily schedule and look for
ways to free up time. If you routinely take an hour for lunch
each day, use that time to exercise and eat at your desk when
you return from your walk, workout or jog. Try to wake up 30
to 60 minutes earlier each morning to exercise, and make use
of time before bed by preparing a healthy lunch for the following day.
Make your goals public. By publicly declaring your intention to improve your life, youre putting some positive pressure on yourself to fully commit to your goal. Friends and
loved ones can be great sources of support, and once theyre
aware of your efforts, you likely wont want to let them down.
Once you have decided on a resolution, post your short-term
and long-term goals to your Facebook page or let your immediate family and closest friends know of your goals in person.
Their encouragement can help you stay on track, and they
may even offer to help you realize your goals.
Keep track of your progress. Keep a resolutions journal or
start a blog that allows you to write about your efforts. If your
goal is to pay down debt, make a spreadsheet that tracks your
progress. That spreadsheet might be more motivational than
simply seeing a loan or credit card balance gradually reduce
on your monthly statement. Writing about your trials and
errors can help others and also provide a great way for you to
explore your approach and tinker with it to ensure your ultimate success.
Expect setbacks. If realizing resolutions was easy, the success rate would be greater than 8 percent. Setbacks are inevitable, so dont allow them to derail your efforts. Even if setbacks occur when youre well on your way to success,
regroup and get back on track without getting down on yourself.
Reward yourself. Dont hesitate to reward yourself as you
realize your short-term goals and draw closer to making your
long-term goal a reality. For example, if weight loss is your
goal and youve adhered to your diet and lost some weight,
reward yourself with a favorite meal eaten in moderation.

Naloxone Can Save a Life

Editor,
The use of Naloxone can save a life.
Naloxone, also known as Narcan is an
opioid antagonist used in opioid overdoses
to counteract the life-threatening depression of the respiratory system. It allows an
overdose victim to breathe normally.
Although traditionally administered by
emergency response personnel, naloxone
can be administered by lay people or public, making it ideal for treating heroin and
other opioids overdoses. The training is
simple and use of Naloxone results in a life
saved.
Here is what occurs in an opioid overdose. When too much of any opioid, like
heroin goes into too many receptors, the
respiratory system slows and the person
breathes more slowly, then not at all.
Because Naloxone basically knocks the
opioids out of the opiate receptors in the
brain, the overdose is reversed and the
person is able to breathe again.
However, it is a temporary drug that will
wear off in 30-90 minutes and the person should be watched
for signs of continued overdose. The overdose victim must
seek medical assistance or call 911.
Lack of oxygen from opioid overdose may lead to brain
injury in as little as 4 minutes, yet the average EMS response
time is 9.4 minutes. Seconds can count during an opioid overdose so it is vital if you have a loved one or friends who use,
you need to have a plan in place. Most life threatening opioid
emergencies occur in the home, witnessed by friends or family.
Brand names of Naloxone are Evzio, Narcan injection,
Narcan Nasal Spray. They all come with simple, lifesaving
directions and are easy to administer. Upon purchase, read and
know how to use these devices and keep them readily available.
Some states have a third-party law where a concerned parent, employee or nurse at a school can obtain Naloxone and
administer it without facing legal repercussions (known as the
good Samaritan act). If you come in contact with a high-risk
individual, you should have this lifesaving overdose antidote.
For more information and the availability of naloxone, go
to http://www.narcononnewliferetreat.org/blog/naloxoneavailability.html. If you are in need of a referral to a treatment
center, call us at 1- 800-431-1754.

The School Choice Gambit

Editor,
From all the militant ranting concerning school choice,
one gets the feeling that difficult objective circumstances have
left most people so without choice in the essential areas of
their lives, that theyre clinging to the one thing that gives
them a sense of freedom. Which is a shame, because it diverts
attention from the only educational issue that has any real
meaning and social value: the centrality of free public education to our democracy, and the need to maintain it at the highest levels. This means well-trained, well-paid teachers, and
the provision of state-of-the-art facilities and technology
across the board and equally to every public school in the
state.
As a transplanted New Yorker, I have through experience a
perspective denied many Vermonters. I raised seven children
who today have seventeen degrees between them virtually
all attained through free public education. Grammar school
and intermediate school left no choices; you went to the
school in your district, period. High school offered a handful
of specialized schools for which one had to qualify. Failing
that (if one even applied), you attended the high school in
your district, period.
When it came to college, the City University of New York
(CUNY) provided many schools that were, back then, virtucontinued on next page

A Message from
Your
Very Recent Past
By G. E. Shuman
Dear Readers,
I wrote this column exactly one year
ago, this week (or last week, depending on
where you are, time-wise. Dont worry, youll understand after you read it.) I did not update the dates, intentionally. Time
is a funny thing, and how this column ended came true, in no
time. Happy New Year! Dont waste a minute of it.

hen you read this in the paper, you will learn that
you and I, right now, from both of our perspectives,
are actually in two different times. We arent in two
different time zones, not unless you live further west than do
most of my readers. We are, literally, in two different times.
You see, you, as you live and breathe in the day in which you
exist, right now, are on the other side of a great divide that
separates us; me at this writing, and you at the reading of it, by
that magical millisecond after the ball drops, the horns blow,
and the reworks blast off proclaiming the beginning of a
brand new year.
You see, I am still in the year 2015, as I write these words,
and you are not, as you read them. I am writing on Wednesday, December 30, 2015, and you are reading this column
next year, from my point of view. I am way back in last
year, to you. Isnt that strange? Okay, so maybe its only me
that is strange. I do have a different way of looking at things
sometimes. I remember hearing a comedian one time, joke
that people always want to see a picture of him when he was
younger. His reply was that EVERY picture ever taken of him
was when he was younger. I guess thats the same concept as
with me, now writing to you from your recent past, isnt it?
Anyway, there you are, way over there on the other side of
the divide, and here I am, still in 2015. From our opposing
viewpoints on things, you can look back at me, imagine me
writing this column, right now, where I am, and, more importantly, WHEN I am, and wonder a few things that people
always wonder about at the time of year you are in. You may
wonder how the year 2015 could have been different, how it
could have been better. You might think of things you did or
didnt do, and decisions you made or didnt make, in this year
that I am still in, as I write. You may be happy that the old year

is in the past; you know, the old Out with old, and in with
the new, idea. But, whatever was done with my still present
year of 2015, its over for you now, and not one thing about it
can be changed. Nothing can be changed in whatever you did,
or didnt do, while you were here with me. I once heard one
of the wisest men of our time, The Reverend Billy Graham,
say about a persons past, that, and I quote him You cant
unscramble eggs. (The I in the word cant is intentional, as
that is how he said it.)
I, on the other hand, look ahead at you, and I mean straight
at you, and wonder about the future. What great things, and
not so great things are YOU going to accomplish in 2016.
What person are you going to vote for and help elect to be
the next President of this great land of ours? What school or
church are you going to attend? What are you really going
to do with those New Years resolutions you made, just last
week? (from your point of view) (Im lucky, I havent even
decided whether or not I will make a resolution this year
and still have a few more hours left to think about that.) What
changes might you make in your work life, home life, or your
spiritual life in your brand new year? Another sort of paraphrased quote, because I dont know the source, simply says,
If you nd yourself heading in the wrong direction, remember, God allows U-turns. I love that one.
So, I will leave you now. I have to nish up whatever Im
going to do before I join you over on the other side, in that
new calendar year called 2016. Save me a spot over there, if
you would. I hope that you will please remember something
else when you think about what you might do in the coming
weeks, months, and years of that very precious life that you
have been given. It is one more quote, and it is a REALLY
important one: Though no one can go back and make a brand
new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new
ending. - Carl Bard. So, my friend, you lucky person who
is actually living in my future world of 2016What will
YOUR brand new ending be? Hey, wait for me Ill be in
2016 with you before you know it and in 2017 before you
can even comprehend how quickly 2016 came, and then, how
quickly it went. So I will say: Happy New Year! (whatever
new year it is)

Reisss Pieces
A
By Judy Reiss

re you exhausted? I have to


admit that Im not and that is
probably because after Christmas, which I love, and all our family
except two got together, it was sort of
the end for me! And by the end I mean
that we just dont do New Years. And
why not you ask? Well, it is because neither of us drink at our
age and even if we host a party, it just doesnt make it a good
time. And the thought of going to a party and either doing it
myself or just watching friends and strangers make fools of
themselves, liquor or not! So the two old Reisses stayed at
home and went to bed early! A drag? Certainly but as Malcolm
constantly says, were old!
Now that we have taken care the new year it is time to discuss a topic that I have kept snuggled in my chest for months.
I think I am actually just talking to the owners or managers of restaurants and or regular stores that want customers. I
have always been a good shopper and had a wonderful time
doing it! I love to eat out and; not only with Malcolm but also
with my girl friends. Nowadays, I have to use a walker to get
myself from the car to the restaurant or the store. I can only
imagine that a wheelchair looms in the future!
Until you become dependent upon one of those pieces of
equipment, you have no idea what actually goes on. I am not
going to discuss how some people treat the handicapped because the great percentage are wonderful and go out of their
way to help. But what I want to talk about is how the guys who
own the restaurant or the store could make life a lot easier.
And make a lot more money, to boot!

Now on Netix

I know where I live there are several restaurants and stores


that I cant get into because they dont have a handrail. Now I
am not talking about a huge and artistic type of handrail, nope,
what I mean is a simple rail, even made out of a few pieces of
wood. I can get into almost anything with a handrail and that
is that. I guess there isnt any rule to have a handrail so just do
it yourself. I rmly believe it is not only a handicapped person
who could use a railing, which would help all ages and abilities as well as disabilities who would use that handrail.
Many years ago, before I became handicapped, I took a dear
friend who was severely handicapped to Florida to see a friend
and to take her for a quickie to Disney World. I was shocked
at how hard it was to move her around and nd an accessible
toilet. But we did and she had a good time. But it left a mark
on my how difcult her life was when it could have been made
a lot easier! I do think in this country we have no policy on
how to help the handicapped and allow them to be helpful and
useful citizens.
Now my suggestion is a simple one, just put a rail of some
sort that makes it possible for me to get into your establishment. In Waitseld at the Mad River Green, we have several
places that appear to go out of their way for me. The Three
Mountain Caf is terric to me which makes having coffee
kindly but very comfortable. The Collection actually did much
of my Christmas shopping on the phone. This might not sound
like much, but trust me, it saved my life! In fact, they not only
helped me pick out what I wanted, but they also wrapped them
and she sent them, too! For gifts that I might need over the
year, you can be sure they will be my rst choice.

Oliver Stones Untold History


of the United States
The Cold War

id Russia cease to be our enemy in 1972, when Nixon


went to Moscow and signed the SALT I treaty?
Did Russia cease to be our enemy in 1987, when
Reagan and Gorbachev agreed to eradicate an entire class of
intermediate range nuclear weapons?
Did Russia cease to be our enemy in 1991, when the Soviet
Union dissolved into 15-different non-Communist countries?
Did Russia ever stop being our enemy? If you ask one hundred different historians, youll get one hundred different answers. Oliver Stone has his own answer. And its worth checking out.
US history books tell the story of a menacing Soviet Union,
bent on world domination, that was held in check by Americas freedom-loving fortitude. Oliver Stone weaves a very
different tale.
In 1945, the Soviet Union was in no position to attempt
world conquest. A generation of Russian young men had been
slaughtered and its cities were in ruins.
Nevertheless, Winston Churchill warned ominously of an
Iron Curtain that was descending upon the peoples Eastern
Europe. In contrast, former Vice President Henry Wallace predicted an idyllic post-war future, with Capitalist and Communist countries competing peacefully to see who could produce
more goods to improve the lives of their citizens.
Sadly, Oliver Stone laments, Churchills speech was taken
as gospel and Wallace was labeled a nave Communist-sympathizer.
The United States founded NATO in an effort to pin the
Russians back behind a thick wall of non-Communist countries. (Ridiculously), we promised to declare war on the Soviet
Union if it attacked any of our many allies.
Only after NATO was formed did the USSR truly drop the
Iron Curtain, creating the Warsaw Pact in 1955.
Stopping Communism was never the main purpose of the
Cold War, Oliver Stone argues. It was world domination that
we were after and Russia the big bad bogeyman was
standing in our way.

Letters continued from previous page

Stone is clearly right. Why else are warmongers like John


McCain and Lindsay Graham still calling to extend NATO to
Russian neighbors like Ukraine, Finland, and Moldova?
I repeat: Sen. John McCain would send your son to die for
Moldova. These anti-Russia hardliners are absolutely loco.
We all know about the Korean War and the Vietnam War.
But Oliver Stone tells the lesser-known story of the CIA and
its covert actions around the globe.
Beginning in the late 1940s, the CIA began inuencing
foreign elections, ousting foreign leaders, fomenting chaos in
foreign capitals, and basically doing whatever it could to get
America-friendly puppets in power.
The CIA took covert action against Russian inuence (real
and perceived) in Guatemala, Chile, Bolivia, Brazil, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Greece, Turkey, Ghana, Chad, Congo, Iran,
and Indonesia.
And what was our grand purpose behind interfering with
the governments of so many foreign countries? Literally nobody knows.
Thats the problem with having a secretive foreign policy.
Its impossible for an endless string of Top Secret covert operations to have any kind of continuity or common purpose.
That is why I consider Edward Snowden and Bradly Manning great patriots. In fact, I consider pretty much anyone (be
it Wikileaks or Russian hackers) who releases secret documents to be heroes who are doing us all a huge favor. For it is
only when our government and our leaders are forced to operate with honesty and transparency that they will be able to act
with sanity and decency and restraint.
Anything that leads us to rethink and reset our Russia policy
is a good thing. Because the grand result of 70 years of Cold
War is a complete mutual mistrust and fear. And with whom?
A stable Christian nation that is super far away from our border and has never attacked a country in our hemisphere.
In the end, the question isnt when Russia stopped being our
enemy. It is whether Russia was ever truly our enemy at all.

-ally free and that, even today, charge a tuition that at $6,330 a
year is a fraction of what most colleges demand.
So stop being conned by the choice game, and put your
efforts into free, quality, equalized public education for all
right through college. Its completely doable if the public
focuses on the core issues and wills it. If you look closely, youll
find that the choice game is being promoted by those who
have a money interest in education, and who, as with Trump,
would like to see the entire system privatized. For an indication
of the disaster that would be, take a hard look at charter schools
those privatized schools subsidized by taxpayers. Most perform no better than the public schools, many worse, and those
that show improvement do so through selective registration
i.e., denying admission to low performing and impaired students, which public schools are not permitted to do by law.

Youll also find that the movement to privatized charter schools


is heavily endowed by billionaires such as the Walton and Gates
families all of whom struggle to pay their workers the lowest
possible wages and provide minimal benefits. Such is their concern for the public!
Defense of school choice and the privatization of education
can take the most disingenuous forms. For example, a former
educator recently declared that, local town taxpayers approve
of us (a private school) through their annual property tax payments (Manchester Journal, 12/23/16). This is akin to saying
that Americans, by paying their federal taxes, approve of U.S.
military aggression, the stockpiling of nuclear weapons, and an
outrageously over-bloated defense budget.
Education is not like choosing and automobile. It should offer only
one model: the best and most advanced and free for everyone.

Madene takes me back telling tales


Like my grandparents did,
I feel comforted as if being read
A storybook as a kid,
She longs to be with her husband
Who waits in another place,
Of once again to be smothered
In the warmth of his arms embrace,
She knows that her time to be called home
Is beginning to draw near
Her faith and wisdom reassuring her
That she has nothing to fear
The holidays tug away at her heart
Of feelings both happy and sad,
Sad because she misses him so
Yet grateful for the memories
That made her glad!

temperature has formed earlyseason ice on Vermont ponds,


lakes and rivers. The Vermont
Fish & Wildlife Department
reminds winter enthusiasts that
ice should never be considered
safe and ice conditions vary.
We are urging all outdoor
enthusiasts people going ice
fishing, cross-country skiers,
hikers, and snowmobilers to
be extremely cautious and prepared if they are going to venture out on any ice, said
Vermont Fish & Wildlife
Commissioner Louis Porter.
Ice conditions can vary dramatically on different parts of
a lake.
Remember, even
though it may look thick
enough on the surface, moving
water from currents, rivers and
springs can cause ice to form
unevenly.
Leave your car or truck on
shore. Every year several
motor vehicles go through the
ice on Vermont lakes, and some
people have drowned as a
result.
Leave information about
your plans with someone
where you intend to fish and
when you expect to return.
Wear a personal flotation
device and dont fish alone.
Fish with a friend. Ice fishing is a great sport to share
with family members and
friends, and having a partner
with you increases both the fun
and the safety.
Ice varies in thickness and
condition. Always carry an ice
spud or chisel to check ice as
you proceed.
Be extremely cautious
crossing ice near river mouths,
points of land, bridges, islands,
and over reefs and springs.
Current almost always causes
ice to be thinner over these
areas.
Avoid going onto the ice if
it has melted away from the
shore. This indicates melting is
underway, and ice can shift
position as wind direction
changes.
Bring your fully-charged
cell phone with you.
Carry a set of hand spikes
to help you work your way out
onto the surface of the ice if
you go through. Holding one
in each hand, you can alternately punch them into the ice
and pull yourself up and out.
You can make these at home,
using large nails, or you can
purchase them at stores that
sell fishing supplies.
Carry a safety line that can
be thrown to someone who has
gone through the ice.
Heated fishing shanties
must have good ventilation to
prevent deadly carbon monoxide poisoning. Open a window
or the door part way to allow in
fresh air.

Bring in the Birds for Winter Beauty and Entertainment

By Melinda Myers
Brighten your winter days by inviting birds into your landscape. Their
beauty and motion help enliven the
garden and lighten your spirit. Not only
do they provide entertainment, but also
an opportunity for all ages to stay
involved with nature year-round.
Increase the number of visitors to
your yard by including all the essentials
these winged visitors need; food, shelter and water.
Plants are the easiest way to bring
birds into your landscape. These natural
feeders provide seasonal food and shelter for the birds. Take a walk through
your yard and look for trees, shrubs and
perennials that provide food and evergreens that provide year-round shelter.
Plan on adding a few of their favorites
that provide food and shelter and seasonal beauty you can
enjoy.
In the meantime, add a few feeders. This is a great way to
increase the number and diversity of birds visiting your garden.
Place feeders in a quiet, sheltered location where you can
easily watch these visitors come and go. Avoid placing feeders too close to plants that provide easy places for squirrels to
jump onto the feeders and cats to hide while hunting for a
meal.
Select feeders to attract the type of birds you want to bring
into the garden.
Tube feeders with metal ports keep the seeds fairly clean
and dry and are somewhat squirrel resistant. Feeders with
short perches attract small birds like chickadees, titmice, and
finches. Those with the perches above the feeding port are
suitable for birds like goldfinches, chickadees and pine
siskins that can feed upside down.
Thistle feeders and socks have extra small openings
designed to hold the small seeds of thistle. Youll find small
songbirds like finches feeding at these.

Suet feeders hold blocks of high


energy food made of animal fat filled
with seeds and berries.They attract
woodpeckers, nuthatches, chickadees,
titmice, jays and starlings.
Platform feeders attract the greatest
variety of birds, but give squirrels easy
access to the seed. Plus, the open environment subjects the seeds to spoilage
from damp weather and droppings from
feeding birds. Enclosed hopper or
house feeders are attractive to most
birds, but once again the seed can be
exposed to the weather and spoil.
Be sure to thoroughly clean the feeders monthly to avoid the spread of disease. Cover droppings and spoiled seed
on the ground with a fresh layer of
mulch.
Add additional feeding stations by
bird-friendly ornaments.

Keep the birds coming by adding a birdbath for a constant
supply of water for drinking and bathing. Shallow birdbaths
with sloping
sides and a maximum
at depth of two inches in the
center provide easy access for all birds. Keep the water flowing despite cold temperatures with the help of an immersion
heater designed for birdbaths or purchase a birdbath with a
built-in thermostatically controlled heater.
And once you create a bird-friendly environment youll be
enjoying them year-round. Listen for their songs, watch them
raise their young and thank them for helping keep garden
pests under control.

David Girard of Bridport Wins Vermonts Lifetime


Hunting and Fishing License Lottery

David Girard, 56, of Bridport, Vermont, is the lucky winner


of the 2016 Vermont Lifetime Hunting and Fishing License
Lottery. With his lifetime license, Girard will be entitled to
hunt and fish for free for life. He was drawn as the winner
from among 10,067 lottery tickets purchased in 2016.
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department holds the drawing annually and presents a lifetime hunting and fishing
license to the winner.
The Lifetime License Lottery gives anyone, resident or
nonresident, an opportunity to win a Vermont hunting and
fishing license that is valid for the recipients lifetime, said
Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Louis Porter. Even if you
dont win the license, by applying, you know you have contributed to fish and wildlife conservation in Vermont.
This years sales of the $2.00 tickets brought $20,134 to the

Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. These state dollars can


be leveraged with federal funds to produce $80,536 to support
the departments mission to conserve fish, wildlife, plants and
their habitats for the people of Vermont.
These funds help us to manage the states sportfish and
game animals, protect threatened and endangered species, and
conserve important habitat for wildlife, said Porter.
Hunters and anglers can enter Vermonts License of a
Lifetime Lottery by adding the $2.00 entry fee when they buy
their license on the Fish & Wildlife Department website at
vtfishandwildlife.com. They can also enter by applying at
locations statewide wherever Vermont hunting and fishing
licenses are sold, or with a printable application also available
on the department website. There is no limit on the number
of times someone may enter during the year.

Preparing Your Outside Animals for Winter

By M. Kathleen Shaw, DVM


Vermont Veterinary Medical Association
Winter is right around the corner and, it is
time to think about things you can do to help
your outside animals be prepared for winter.
A little time and work now can save you a lot
of trouble later.
If your large animals are kept outside,
check your fencing to make sure posts and
boards are secure, especially where snow
drifts form. The animals must have the ability
to get out of the wind/rain/snow. A run-in
shed with the open end facing away from the
winter wind is best. Make sure that mineral
and salt blocks are not covered in snow.
Keep paths free of slippery mud, snow, and
ice; a broken leg in a large animal can have
disastrous consequences. Have a plan to provide fresh water to your outside animals and
to keep it from freezing. Livestock drink less
when it is cold out. You can increase the
amount of water that your animals drink in
cold weather by heating the water and this
effect is particularly notable in goats. Use
de-icers, water heaters, and insulate the water
hoses both outside and inside the barn.
It is critical to address nutritional needs in
the winter. Talk to your veterinarian who can
help you formulate a feeding plan for your
outside animals. They have training in nutrition and are familiar with your livestocks
health and nutritional needs. In general, feeding a high quality hay free choice is the best
way to keep most farm animals warm in the
winter. Hay keeps horses and ruminants
warm: heat is produced as the bacteria in their
intestinal tract ferment it. (Grains are more
efficient feeds and affect less heat loss from

the gut which means less heat for the animal.)


One of the important things you can do is to
keep your hands on your animals in the winter. With just looking at them it is impossible
to tell how they are doing. Rub your hands on
horses ribs and on top lines for small ruminants and camelids to check for prominent
ribs or vertebrae that signal weight loss.
While youre at it, make sure the animals
coats are free of manure and mud. It is not for
cosmetic reasons: mud and manure in the fur
prevent the longer, coarser winter coats from
retaining heat.
Talk to your veterinarian about deworming
the animals before the winter. Have him/her
check your horses teeth for hooks/points on
the teeth. If not addressed, these can cause
pain, dropping food, and weight loss. Make
sure the animals are up to date on vaccines,
too.
Dont forget your barn cats (and dogs).
Youll need to have a way to provide fresh
water for them, too. A place for them to sleep
that is enclosed (even in the barn) will help
them to retain body heat. Contrary to common belief, bigger is not better- at least when
it comes to dog houses. A smaller house is
better, as it helps keep the heat in. The barn
may keep the wind and snow out, but its still
very cold in there for your smaller barn animals.
A little preparation can help your barn animals out this winter. For advice on keeping
the animals healthy and warm this winter, talk
to your veterinarian. Vets see a wide variety
of housing and animal health complications
in the winter and can give you advice on how
to prevent trouble.

How to ace job interviews when switching careers


illions of people change careers
every year. Whereas professionals may have once worked for
the same company for the majority, if not the entirety, of their careers, nowadays
its not uncommon for men and women to change
jobs several times before reaching retirement.

Changing jobs and changing careers are not necessarily the same thing. Professionals mulling a career change
will have to consider a host of factors that men and women
looking to change jobs may never have to contemplate. Such
factors may include returning to school and lifestyle changes
designed to make living on less income more feasible.
Professionals changing careers may also need to develop a
strategy for handling job interviews. When changing jobs as
opposed to careers, professionals can draw attention to their
rsums, essentially letting their experience speak for itself.
But while experience is often a feather in a job candidates
cap, professionals changing careers may need to focus more
on their futures than their pasts when interviewing for a new
career.
Draw attention to those skills that will apply to your new
career. All of your experience and skills likely wont transfer
to your new career, but that does not mean youre going in
with an empty briefcase. Make a list of your most transferable skills, and develop an interview strategy that highlights
those skills and explains how they can be applied in both the
near future and over the course of your new career.
Use your contacts to your advantage. Even if much of
your experience wont transfer to your new career, your
professional network might still be valuable to a prospective
employer. The longer you have been working the larger your
professional network likely is, so highlight those contacts in
your interview and illustrate how you can put them to good
use should you be hired.

Automotive Technician

Showcase how you have adapted in the past. Much of


the business world moves at a breakneck pace. That pace has
become even faster thanks to advancements in technology
that routinely affect how businesses operate. Even if you
have never before changed careers, that does not mean you
have not adapted to change. Make a list of the changes your
employers have instituted throughout your career, highlighting how you adapted to those changes and benefitted from
them in their aftermath.
Remain positive throughout the interview. Even if you
are changing careers because youre unhappy and/or unfulfilled in your present line of work, avoid badmouthing that
industry and your past employers. Doing so will only reflect
negatively on you and raise a red flag with prospective
employers. Instead, explain your reasons for pursuing a new
career path in terms that excite potential employers about
your candidate.
The decision to change careers can induce both excitement and anxiety. Maintaining a positive attitude and employing various strategies when interviewing with prospective employers can help make the transition to a new career
go smoothly.

Owl Cast-Iron
Bank

Q: I have an owl cast-iron


bank. When a coin in inserted, the owl turns its head and then deposits it inside the
bank. It was purchased in Pennsylvania sometime after the
Civil War. Other than that, I know nothing more about it. I
have been offered $500 for it. It is in excellent condition
-- not mint, but close.
Art, Scottsdale, Arizona
A: Your bank was patented in 1880, designed by James H.
Bowen of Philadelphia and manufactured by J & E Stevens
& Company of Cromwell, Connecticut. Your bank is valued in the $200-$2,500 range depending on condition,
according to The Official Guide of Mechanical Banks,
by Dan Morphy and published by House of Collectibles
books.
Although mechanical banks are fascinating, buyers should
be aware that reproductions have flooded the market. Some
have been aged to suggest they are both old and authentic. These fakes often are made in Asia and sometimes can
fool even antique dealers.
***
Q: My dad was a Marine and served in Vietnam during the
war. He recently gave me his collection from the war,
including his uniform, dog tags, a Ka-Bar fighting knife,
his cargo field pack, a signaling mirror and an assortment
of paper items. Although I have no plans to part with anything, I would like to know current values.
-- Ben, Northridge, Ohio
A: Collectors are just now focusing on items from the
Vietnam War. Because of this increased interest, prices
have soared. For example, a mans camouflage combat
uniform, lightweight and wind-resistant cotton poplin, is
now valued in the $200-$350 range, more than four times
what the same garment would have sold for just 10 years
ago.
I suggest you get a copy of Vietnam War Collectibles,
by David Doyle. It documents and values artillery, clothing, helmets, publications, tools, gear, currency and even
war trophies, illustrated with more than 1,000 images in
full color.
***
Q: I have a 78-rpm recording of the 1905 graduating class
of the U.S. Naval Academy singing Anchors Aweigh. Is
it valuable?
-- Benjamin, Lusby, Md.
A: I contacted several serious collectors, and they agreed
that your recording is worth in the $10 to $15 range,
depending, of course, on condition.

* I installed a full-length mirror on the


back side my closet door. All around it
I made a border of corkboard (the selfsticking sheets available at office-supply stores). I use the corkboard to hold all my frequently used
jewelry. I put earrings right in the cork, and hang necklaces
and bracelets from pushpins. Im thinking of installing hooks
for belts and scarves. This really saves me time when Im getting dressed. -- A.E. in Tennessee
* When large pump bottles of lotion start to sputter, dont get
rid of them, refill them! Add the contents of smaller bottles to
fill it up.
* The handle of my photo mug cracked off. I love the picture,
but I cant reattach the handle because its too broken. My
husband was able to remove the remnants of the handle and
smooth it down. We sealed the broken parts, and I use it as an
eyeglasses holder on my desk. -- J.J. in Florida
* Hang measuring cups in size order on the inside of your
cabinet door. You will always know where to find the rightsize measure, and it makes use of unused space. Just be sure
youre gentle when opening and closing the door.
* If youre dealing with a stripped screw, try this neat trick:
Place a wide rubber band over the screw head. Use the type
that are found on a bunch of broccoli. The rubber will fill in
the cracks, and give your screwdriver a lot more grip.
* Store matches in a mason jar. Cut a piece of extra-fine
sandpaper to fit the jar lid. Lay the sandpaper grit-side up in
the lid so that you can use it to light the match. Decorate with
cute ribbon if you like. Perfect for fireplaces!

PET OF THE WEEK


ROY

ROY

10 Year Old Neutered Male

Roy is a quiet, middle-aged gentleman


that seeks a home with lots of good,
cozy napping areas and a great human
to curl up with at night. Roy came to
CVHS after he lost his way as a stray
cat and no owner has come forward for
him. Roy is a laid-back character here
and seems to prefer the simple things
in life: warm home, two meals a day,
and an environment that is peaceful,
not active.

Owner Wants Cat Back

DEAR PAWS CORNER:


Two years ago, my husband and I took in a beautiful orange cat, Tiger,
when a friend became too
ill to care for him. We
werent sure we wanted a
pet -- I suffer from dander
and dust allergies -- but we
decided to give it a try. We
picked him up on
Christmas Eve at the airport after he was flown from Atlanta, a wide-eyed, meowing, anxious ball of fur. As soon as we got home he shot out
from the carrier and under the sofa, where he hid for almost
three weeks, sneaking out at night to eat and use the litter
box.
Tiger gradually got used to his new home, and we got
used to him, and now we cant imagine life without him.
Hes the best Christmas present weve ever received.
Heres the problem: Our friend has recovered and wants
Tiger back, but I cant bear to let him go. What would you
suggest?
-- Charles H., Dallas
DEAR CHARLES: We become more deeply attached to
our pets than we realize, often grieving more when we lose
them than we do for many humans.
Returning a pet to its original owner can be emotionally
difficult. I have friends who actually worked out a joint
custody agreement, with a visitation schedule for their
dogs after their relationship ended.
It sounds like Tigers owner also loves and misses him,
and because youre halfway across the country, theres a
good chance you would never see Tiger again. But if you
know he will be going to an equally loving and caring
home, and the original promise was to be only temporary
caregivers while your friend battled a tough illness ... well,
you know the answer.

middle-aged gentleman that seeks a Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com.

BATTERY
Old batteries should be replaced before winter
begins. Without a strong, properly functioning
battery, engines cannot turn over. Most batteries last between three and ve years. However,
extreme cold can compromise batteries, especially
those that have been around awhile. Batteries are
made up of acid and water, and cold temperatures
can freeze the water, thereby affecting battery
performance. According to AAAs Automotive
Research Center, at 32 F, the average battery loses
35 percent of its strength.
Newer batteries can be protected by starting the
vehicle each day to warm up and recharge the battery. Let the car run for at least 10 minutes if you
cannot take an extended drive.
EXTERIOR MAINTENANCE
Keeping a car waxed and sealed can help
maintain a durable exterior nish. This includes
not only the paint, but the rubber and vinyl parts
of the cars exterior.
Winter is a good time to switch to a heavyduty synthetic wax that can shield against water
and road salts. High-quality sealants can be used
on bumpers, trim and rubber door seals as added
protection. Speak with an automotive retailer or
even the car dealership if you are unsure which
products will make your cars parts most durable
for winter weather.
Do not stop washing your car just because the
weather is cold. Slushy, wet roads and snowmelting salts can speed up the formation of rust or
other decay on the undercarriage of the vehicle.

These materials will need to be periodically


cleaned off. Flush the underside of the vehicle
whenever possible, taking advantage of any dry,
slightly warmer days.
TIRE PRESSURE
According to the automotive retailer Pep Boys,
vehicle tires lose a pound of air pressure for every
10-degree drop in temperature. Many modern cars
will alert to changes in air pressure, and drivers
should be diligent in maintaining the proper tire
pressure. Fuel economy as well as handling ability
can decline when tires are not inated properly.
Tires can be relled at many gas stations for little
cost.
WIPERS
Visibility is key in hazardous weather conditions, and keeping the windshield clean is a
priority. This means ensuring there is enough
windshield wiper uid in the car and that it is a
product that will not freeze.
Wiper blades can freeze and crack in the winter.
Older blades may be more susceptible to damage.
Its a worthy investment to replace existing wiper
blades at the start of each winter. When vehicles
are parked, pull the wipers off of the windshield to
safeguard them from sticking and cracking.
Cold weather requires drivers to amp up their
vehicle maintenance routines. Consult with a mechanic or automotive retailer for more ideas and
products that can help your vehicles operate safely
and efciently this winter.

WORLD AUTOMOTIVE
Safely avoid potential winter hazards Jerry Dudley's Auto Connection

inter can be a beautiful time of year, particularly when freshly fallen snow blankets the landscape. However, winter is also a time fraught with potential peril.
The same winter weather that makes landscapes so pristine can make roads and
walkways and even being outside dangerous.

CARS

The U.S. Department of Transportation says weather-related


vehicle crashes killed 6,253 people last year and injure more than
480,000 per year. These accidents most often occur when roadways
are wet, snowy or icy. Yet, winter driving is not the only seasonal
hazard. Here are some common winter activities and how to avoid
getting hurt when engaging in them.

DRIVING
Exercise extra caution when driving on roadways during the winter, as they may contain ice or snow. All it takes is a small coating of
precipitation on roadways to make driving treacherous. Wet-looking
roadways may be wet, or they may be covered by ice, and its difcult to tell the difference with the naked eye. Always slow down
and assume you are driving on ice. Make every effort to improve
visibility. This includes checking windshield washer uid levels and
ensuring windshield blades are in good working order.

use the appropriate equipment, which includes telescoping poles,


rather than climbing on slippery roofs. This may be a job best left for
a professional, who will have fall-arrest systems and nonslip safety
boots.

SNOW REMOVAL
Shoveling or removing snow by various methods can be strenuous
work, taking even those who feel they are in good shape by surprise.
A 2011 study conducted by researchers at the Center for Injury Research and Policy of The Research Institute at Nationwide Childrens
Hospital found that an average of 11,500 snow-shoveling-related
injuries and medical emergencies were treated in U.S. emergency
departments each year from 1990 to 2006.
Lower back injuries, falls, injuries to the arms and hands and
cardiac-related injuries account for many of the incidents sustained
while removing snow. Theres also the risk of injury from collisions
with pedestrians and snow plows. Plows and bobcat-type devices can
cause serious injury. Exercise caution when operating such machines.







DRESSING FOR CONDITIONS


Venturing outdoors for winter fun may be enticing, but never
put your health at risk for the sake of fun. The Mayo Clinic says
hypothermia is a medical emergency that occurs when the body loses
heat faster than it can produce heat, causing a dangerously low body
temperature. Wear appropriate clothing to prevent hypothermia,
which may not produce any initial symptoms. If shivering stops or
confusion and slurred speech set in, severe hypothermia is in effect
and a person should be moved indoors and gently warmed. Mild hypothermia is also possible indoors, typically when the elderly spend
several hours in poorly heated homes.
Winter may be beautiful, but it also can be hazardous. Taking precautions and using common sense help avoid dangerous situations.

Removing snow from a roof can be a dangerous prospect. Always

REAL ESTATE | JANUARY 2017

Beginners guide to real estate investments

urchasing a house or property is


about more than setting up a home.
Although quite a number of people
buy real estate to establish their future,
long-term abodes, many others recognize the
potentially lucrative investment that lies within a
real estate purchase.
Despite the ups and downs of the economy, real estate has
become a common investment vehicle one that has plenty
of potential for making big gains for those who are willing
to put in the effort. According to the experts at Entrepreneur,
even in a bad economy, real estate investments will usually
fare better than stocks. Real estate also continues to appreciate despite the occasional economical slow-down.
Like any other endeavor, there is a right and a wrong way
to go about investing in real estate. Novices may not know
where to begin their first forays into the real estate market as
investors, even if they already own their own homes. Buying
a property as an investment is an entirely different animal
than buying a home to establish a residence. However, with
the right guidance, anyone can dabble in real estate.
Establish financial goals. Before you even begin looking
at properties or put forth the effort of meeting with an agent,
you must determine what you expect from the investment.
The days of buying real estate and flipping it for a fast profit
may no longer be here. However, real estate can provide a
steady stream of long-term income. Understand what you
hope to achieve by investing. If its to become an overnight
millionaire, you may be looking at the wrong investment
vehicle in real estate.
Establish a plan. New investors who do not have a plan
in place will likely spend too much or have more setbacks
than others who have planned accordingly. When investing
in real estate, its more about the bottom line than the property itself. According to Springboard Academy, a real estate
academy for investors, look for motivated sellers and stick to
a set purchase price. Try to make offers on a variety of properties that work in your financial favor. And know what you
want to do with the property (i.e., renovate and sell, remove
and rebuild, or rehab and rent) before you buy. Fit the house
to the plan, and not vice-versa.
Start small. If this is your first time out there, stick with
properties that will turnover quickly. Research areas in and
around urban centers or close to transportation and shopping.
A good starter property is a small house or a condominium
that can be refurbished and then rented. Rental properties
offer steady sources of income when renters are properly
vetted, offers Investopedia, an investment resource.
Look at many different properties. Become an expert by
learning as much as you can about what is out there. Attend
open houses; look for vacant/unattractive properties; scour
the classifieds in your local paper; or put the word out there
that youre interested in buying a property. Only look at
properties that have motivated sellers, because then youll
get closest to the price you want to pay. And dont forget to
research the area and the home turnover rate for the specific
area where you are looking. Dont make assumptions that a
property will appreciate without doing your homework.
Real estate can be a worthy investment opportunity. With
research, a plan and the right price, just about anyone can be
a real estate investor.
