A New Year, a New You? It’s Possible with a Little Planning<br />

By Katie Moritz<br />

This year is going to be<br />

the year: the year you<br />

exercise more; the year<br />

you spend more time with<br />

family and friends; the year<br />

you learn that new skill or<br />

take up that new hobby.<br />

2018 is going to be your<br />

year.<br />

Tell this to friends and<br />

family, and it’s likely someone<br />

will inform you that over<br />

50% of New Year’s resolutions<br />

fail. This is no surprise<br />

when, according to a ComRes<br />

poll, some of the most common<br />

resolutions are exercise<br />

more, eat healthy, learn something<br />

new, stop smoking, and<br />

spend more time with people<br />

we care about.<br />

These sound great, but<br />

they’re in the abstract. What does exercising more mean?<br />

What defines eating healthy? How can one spend more time<br />

with friends and family if their life is already jam-packed with<br />

daily obligations and commitments?<br />

When New Year’s resolutions are vague, they leave no<br />

room for celebrating the successes along the way. Which, let’s<br />

be honest, is half the fun. For example, imagine someone<br />

wants to exercise more but they live a busy life and, although<br />

they resolved to the gym this year, they simply do not have the<br />

time. A week or two or three in, and they may feel like they<br />

have failed, and so, give up the notion of exercising altogether.<br />

But what if, instead, you planned out how to tackle your<br />

resolutions? Instead of planning to go to the gym, start small:<br />

take the stairs at work, or park the car far away from your<br />

destination? Even a fifteen-minute walk at the end of the day,<br />

to clear the head, can make one feel more accomplished.<br />

Therefore, to get results, it is important to come up with<br />

New Year’s resolutions that will be realistically attainable.<br />

Some important questions to consider when starting your<br />

resolutions are whether they are specific, measurable, and<br />

whether they will be exciting.<br />

Say you want to keep in touch with friends. To make it<br />

specific, you may want to choose which relationship you actually<br />

want to be continue. Is it really worth your energy to<br />

invest in relationships and people out of guilt? Or simply a<br />

sense that you share a history?<br />

Now, define what keeping in touch means for you. Does it<br />

mean offering more of your daily energies? Helping people<br />

with their kids, listening to their personal problems, buying<br />

them birthday gifts? Does it mean writing emails or letters<br />

every few months? How much time and focus do you want<br />

and/or have to give?<br />

Once you have more specific resolutions, how do you make<br />

the, stick?<br />

Charles Duhigg, author of The Power of Habit, writes in his<br />

blog: “The key is to take advantage of the 3-step neurological<br />

process that creates a habit. First, choose a cue, like leaving<br />

your running shoes by the door, then pick a reward — say, a<br />

piece of chocolate when you get home from the gym.<br />

Eventually, when you see the shoes, your brain will start craving<br />

the reward, which will make it easier to work out day after<br />

day.”<br />

Duhigg suggests trying this out for one week to see how it<br />

goes. There may be some trial and error involved. Be forgiving<br />

of yourself when you mess up. If something didn’t work<br />

the way you wanted it to, go back to the drawing board and<br />

come up with a new approach. Maybe instead of taking an<br />

hour walk, you take the dog around the block. Maybe instead<br />

of calling all your college friends every week, you send an<br />

email to a couple of your closest friends once a month. If the<br />

reward is not incentive enough, try a different one.<br />

To start though, sometimes finding the right community<br />

and the right resources make all the difference. Local libraries,<br />

senior centers, and rec departments offer information,<br />

classes, and even meeting spaces at little or no cost. With their<br />

help, you may be surprised that you keep to your resolutions<br />

and that you find new interests, friendships, and hobbies along<br />

the way.<br />

New Year’s<br />

Resolutions<br />

for Children<br />

and Teens<br />

With the New Year upon<br />

us, parents have asked me to<br />

help them with New Year’s<br />

resolutions for their children.<br />

Let me offer a few suggestions<br />

to ring in the new year.<br />

Infants should resolve to<br />

sleep on their backs, which<br />

helps to prevent sudden unexpected<br />

infant death. And they<br />

should keep unsafe items out<br />

of their mouths.<br />

Toddlers and preschoolers<br />

should brush their teeth twice<br />

a day and wash their hands<br />

after using the bathroom and<br />

before eating. They should<br />

help clean up any messes they<br />

might have created while<br />

playing. They should also<br />

resolve to be nice to other<br />

children and to pets.<br />

School age children might<br />

resolve to try new foods and<br />

to limit the amount of soda<br />

and sugary fruit drinks they<br />

drink. Instead, they can drink<br />

reduced-fat milk or water at<br />

least three times every day.<br />

They should also find a physical<br />

activity they enjoy and<br />

resolve to do it at least three<br />

times a week. (And they<br />

should remember to wear a<br />

helmet if that activity is bicycling,<br />

skiing or snowboarding.)<br />

Both children and infants<br />

need to resolve to always be<br />

restrained properly in a car<br />

safety seat. This means a rearfacing<br />

infant seat before the<br />

age of 2 or a booster seat up<br />

to at least age 8.<br />

All children should insist<br />

on being read to or reading to<br />

themselves each and every<br />

day. They should also resolve<br />

to always tell an adult about<br />

bullying that they see or hear<br />

about.<br />

Teens and older children<br />

should remember never to<br />

give out personal information<br />

on the internet. And they<br />

should resolve to limit their<br />

recreational screen time to<br />

1-2 hours per day.<br />

Teens should also resolve<br />

to engage in healthy activities<br />

rather than consider the use<br />

of drugs or alcohol. Healthy<br />

behaviors include sports,<br />

exercise, music or art. They<br />

should never use a cell phone<br />

or text while driving or even<br />

riding a bicycle. And teens<br />

should talk to their parents or<br />

other trusted adults if they or<br />

their friends are stressed or<br />

considering risky choices.<br />

While old acquaintance<br />

may be forgot, hopefully your<br />

children will not forget these<br />

resolutions. Here’s to a terrific<br />

2018 for them and for<br />

your entire family.<br />

West Windsor Volunteer Fire Department<br />

“Sixty Years of Answering the Call”<br />

When they are not putting out fires and<br />

saving lives, the West Windsor Volunteer Fire<br />

Department is hanging lights on the town<br />

Christmas trees, delivering Santa in a fire<br />

engine to a town-wide carol sing or helping to<br />

keep safe the two-day Independence Day<br />

celebrations in town.<br />

Could we possibly ask more from this<br />

dedicated group? Yes! Gentlemen and ladies,<br />

start your engines! Shine up those fire engines<br />

and parade them proudly down Brownsville<br />

Hartland Road on the Fourth of July 2018<br />

because we will be celebrating our Fire<br />

Department’s 60th year of answering the<br />

call!<br />

The Brownsville Independence Day<br />

Celebration Committee has evolved. It has<br />

grown and learned from past leaders with<br />

great appreciation. Representatives from<br />

many organizations and groups in town were<br />

invited to a feasibility meeting last August.<br />

The group of approximately 20 volunteers<br />

explored what they thought the town might<br />

hope for regarding the 2018 Independence<br />

Day activities and what the realistic volunteer<br />

community involvement might be.<br />

The end result is a group willing to recruit<br />

volunteers and lead. The committee is the<br />

Brownsville Independence Day Celebration<br />

Committee and consists of 4 main committees<br />

and multiple sub-committees. In all, this<br />

sizeable group has committed to create a<br />

memorable Independence Day Celebration in<br />

Brownsville for residents and visitors alike.<br />

However, they need your help.<br />

The IDC Committee is pleased to announce<br />

the launch of the Independence Day<br />

Celebration Facebook and GoFundMe pages.<br />

https://www.facebook.com/<br />

https://www.gofundme.com/july-3rd-4thcelebration<br />

Checks made payable to the Brownsville<br />

IDC can be sent to Brownsville Independence<br />

Day Celebration, PO Box 37, Brownsville,<br />

Vermont 05037<br />

So thank you in advance for your donation<br />

and we look forward to honoring our volunteer<br />

fire department and seeing you in<br />

Brownsville on July 3rd & 4th, 2018! Contact<br />

any member of the Brownsville Independence<br />

Celebration Steering Committee (IDC) if you<br />

have questions or would like to become a<br />

volunteer at any level.<br />

Winner of VT’s Lifetime Hunting &<br />

Fishing License Lottery Announced<br />

William Pinney, 65, of Warren, Vermont, is<br />

the lucky winner of the 20<strong>17</strong> Vermont<br />

Lifetime Hunting and Fishing License Lottery.<br />

With his lifetime license, Pinney will be<br />

entitled to hunt and fish for free for life. He<br />

was drawn as the winner from among 10,650<br />

lottery tickets purchased in 20<strong>17</strong>.<br />

“This was my second year of deer hunting,”<br />

said Pinney. “I love hunting in Vermont.<br />

I didn’t get a deer yet, but I had a great<br />

time.”<br />

The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department<br />

holds the drawing annually and presents a<br />

lifetime hunting and fishing license to the<br />

winner.<br />

“The Lifetime License Lottery gives anyone,<br />

resident or nonresident, an opportunity<br />

to win a Vermont hunting and fishing license<br />

that is valid for the recipient’s lifetime,” said<br />

Fish & Wildlife Commissioner Louis Porter.<br />

“Even if you don’t win the license, by applying,<br />

you know you have contributed to fish<br />

and wildlife conservation in Vermont.”<br />

• • •<br />

• • •<br />

This year’s sales of the $2.00 tickets<br />

brought $21,300 to the Vermont Fish &<br />

Wildlife Department. These state dollars can<br />

be leveraged with federal funds to produce<br />

$85,300 to support the department’s mission<br />

to conserve fish, wildlife, plants and their<br />

habitats for the people of Vermont.<br />

“These funds help us to manage the state’s<br />

sportfish and game animals, protect threatened<br />

and endangered species, and conserve<br />

important habitat for wildlife,” said Porter.<br />

Hunters and anglers can enter Vermont’s<br />

License of a Lifetime Lottery by adding the<br />

$2.00 entry fee when they buy their license on<br />

the Fish & Wildlife Department website at<br />

vtfishandwildlife.com. They can also enter by<br />

applying at locations statewide wherever<br />

Vermont hunting and fishing licenses are<br />

sold, or with a printable application also<br />

available on the department website. There is<br />

no limit on the number of times someone may<br />

enter during the year.

People’s Health & Wellness Clinic Establishes<br />

Dr. Mark N. Yorra Legacy Fund<br />

The Board of Trustees of the People’s<br />

Health & Wellness Clinic has announced the<br />

creation of the Dr. Mark N. Yorra Legacy<br />

Fund in honor of the Clinic’s retiring Medical<br />

Director, and one of the founders of the Clinic<br />

back in 1993.<br />

Along with other community members, Dr.<br />

Yorra’s vision was access to health care for<br />

all. The People’s Health & Wellness Clinic<br />

has used a classic “free clinic” model, where<br />

a tiny paid staff supports a large corps of volunteer<br />

practitioners who give of their time and<br />

talents to ensure their central Vermont neighbors<br />

can get the primary health care they<br />

need.<br />

Being a free clinic, PHWC must raise all<br />

funds for its operation every year, relying on<br />

grants, donations, and fundraising events to<br />

make ends meet. The Yorra Legacy Fund was<br />

created to help ensure the long term sustainability<br />

of the Clinic. This reserve fund will<br />

help guarantee that this critical community<br />

health care safety net will continue to exist for<br />

the long haul, providing access to needed<br />

health care for the underserved.<br />

Our goal is to raise at least $25,000, the The Dr. Mark N. Yorra Legacy Fund is our<br />

minimum needed to establish such a fund with way of saying “Thank You” to Mark for all he<br />

the Vermont Community Foundation, which has done for our neighbors, and to help continue<br />

that work in the years to come. Please<br />

will manage it. A generous donor has offered<br />

to match the first $5,000.<br />

join us in honoring Dr. Yorra for his vision<br />

Donations made be made to the People’s and service to the community.<br />

Vermont Wraps Up 2018 Open Enrollment<br />

State officials reported that nearly 23,000<br />

Vermonters had confirmed a 2018 health plan<br />

and qualified for financial help to make the<br />

plan more affordable. Total enrollment in<br />

qualified health plans, which typically<br />

includes 46,000 small business employees<br />

and 11,000 individuals who don’t qualify for<br />

financial help, is expected to surpass 80,000.<br />

While enrollment will be similar to past<br />

years, this year’s earlier deadline means fewer<br />

members will experience gaps in coverage. In<br />

past years, nearly 2,000 members missed out<br />

on January coverage.<br />

The health insurance marketplace and its<br />

carrier partners are also urging Vermonters<br />

who had trouble completing their transaction<br />

at the December 15th deadline to call as soon<br />

as possible. Vermont Health Connect applicants<br />

– those who qualify for financial help or<br />

have variable incomes that may qualify --<br />

should call 1-855-899-9600 by Friday,<br />

December 22nd. Similarly, members who do<br />

not qualify for financial help and were trying<br />

to direct enroll with an insurance carrier are<br />

encouraged to call BlueCross BlueShield of<br />

Vermont (1-800-255-4550) or MVP Health<br />

Care (1-844-865-0250) as soon as possible<br />

and complete their enrollment.<br />

“We came into this fall with three enrollment<br />

goals,” said Cory Gustafson,<br />

Commissioner of Department of Vermont<br />

Health Access. “First, we wanted as many<br />

Vermonters as possible to sign up for January<br />

coverage and the financial help to make it<br />

more affordable. Second, we wanted to<br />

encourage members who don’t qualify for<br />

financial help to sign up directly with their<br />

carrier and establish a single point of contact<br />

for managing their account. Third, we wanted<br />

everyone to do their homework and make<br />

sure they’re in the best plan for their needs<br />

and budget.”<br />

In addition to enrollment numbers, state<br />

officials pointed to record usage for the marketplace’s<br />

Plan Comparison Tool, which can<br />

help individuals and small business employees<br />

determine the best plans for their families’<br />

needs and budgets. The tool was used 938<br />

times on November 1st, nearly a 50% increase<br />

over the same day last year, and it was used<br />

1,069 times on December 15th, nearly a 50%<br />

increase over the last day of open enrollment<br />

last year. The interactive site calculates state<br />

and federal subsidies based on projected<br />

household income and allows Vermonters to<br />

compare plans not just by monthly premiums<br />

and deductible amounts, but also by estimated<br />

total annual costs based on the age and health<br />

status of each household member. Altogether,<br />

the 2018 tool hosted more than 23,000 sessions.<br />

Income thresholds for financial help vary<br />

by household size, going up to about $48,000<br />

for an individual, $65,000 for a two-person<br />

household, and $98,000 for a family of four.<br />

The amount of financial help varies by household<br />

income, with Vermont Health Connect’s<br />

typical individual member having an annual<br />

income just over $25,000 and receiving nearly<br />

$400 per month toward the 2018 insurance<br />

plan of their choice. Couples and families<br />

generally receive more.<br />

“We are fortunate to live in a state with<br />

such a rich social fabric,” said Gustafson.<br />

“From in-person Assisters and state staff to<br />

community organizations, businesses, and<br />

town officials, Vermonters helped their neighbors<br />

understand the deadline and get signed<br />

up for January 1st health coverage.”<br />

Phoenix Books to Host Bestselling Author Katherine Arden<br />

On Thursday, January 11th at 6:30pm, Phoenix Books<br />

Burlington will host Katherine Arden for a talk on her new<br />

novel, The Girl in the Tower, the continuation of the magical<br />

adventure begun in the national bestseller The Bear and the<br />

Nightingale.<br />

Orphaned and cast out as a witch by her village, Vasya’s<br />

options are few: resign herself to life in a convent, or allow<br />

her older sister to make her a match with a Moscovite prince.<br />

Both doom her to life in a tower, cut off from the vast magical<br />

world she longs to explore. So instead she chooses adventure,<br />

disguising herself as a boy and riding her trusted horse,<br />

Solovey, into the woods. A battle with some bandits who have<br />

been terrorizing the countryside quickly earns her the admiration<br />

of the Grand Prince of Moscow. But Vasya must now<br />

balance the growing challenges of the life she has chosen,<br />

navigating her increasingly risky relationship with Morozko<br />

and carefully guarding the secret of her gender to remain in<br />

the Grand Prince’s good graces—even as she realizes his<br />

kingdom is under threat from mysterious forces only she will<br />

be able to stop.<br />

Born in Texas, Katherine Arden holds a BA in French and<br />

Russian from Middlebury College. She has studied Russian in<br />

Moscow, taught at a school in the French Alps, and worked on<br />

a farm in Hawaii. She currently lives in Vermont.<br />

Ticket proceeds will be donated to Vermont Foodbank.<br />

Tickets are $3 per person, and include a coupon for $5 off the<br />

featured book. Coupons expire at closing the evening of the<br />

event. Seating is limited.<br />

Phoenix Books Burlington is located at 191 Bank Street in<br />

Burlington, Vermont. Copies of The Girl in the Tower will be<br />

available for attendees to purchase and have signed. For more<br />

Avian Inspired Paintings By Linda Mirabile At The Governor’s Gallery<br />

To inaugurate the new year of 2018, the Governor’s Gallery<br />

presents Linda Mirabile in her newest show titled “Avian<br />

Inspired” with an Opening Reception on January 11, from<br />

4:00 – 7:00. Exhibiting over 21 paintings created during the<br />

last two years, Mirabile’s meticulously observed and exquisitely<br />

rendered images of birds are painted on birch panel or<br />

watercolor paper with acrylics. The artist has long had an<br />

infatuation with ornithology, and has studied extensively over<br />

her lifetime the behavioral habitat as well as the anatomy of<br />

birds.<br />

“Linda is an artist we have known and loved for a very long<br />

time, and the Governor’s Gallery is excited to be among the<br />

first major venues to promote her incredible work. Viewers<br />

are in for a real treat!”- states David Schutz Vermont State<br />

Curator.<br />

As Mirabile herself says, “Sharing 60 acres with a family<br />

of crows, two ravens and any number of other avian neighbors<br />

has given me a new perspective in the way I approach painting<br />

birds. With this first-hand experience, I now paint birds<br />

differently than I did many years ago. Birds do all of the same<br />

things we do. My aim is to impart an attitude, capture a feeling,<br />

or create a story about what is going on in that bird’s<br />

mind, life or in any given moment. I feel like I know them and<br />

they know me.”<br />

Linda Mirabile lives in Berlin, Vermont and is co-owner of<br />

the graphics/communications firm, RavenMark, Inc. She<br />

moved to Vermont from New York in 1976. Her work has<br />

appeared in various regional exhibits and is represented at<br />

Artisan’s Gallery in Waitsfield Vermont as well as in many<br />

private collections nationally. She studied oil painting with<br />

the late Caroll Jones of Stowe in 1979-80.<br />

Ringing in the New Year at the Vermont Supreme Court<br />

Gallery will be one of the state’s most renowned artists--<br />

Claire Van Vliet. Her Opening Reception will be held<br />

Thursday, January 11 from 4:00 – 7:00pm. Van Vliet is a true<br />

Vermont treasure, known for her print and papermaking abilities<br />

and as the founder of the esteemed Janus Press in Newark,<br />

Vermont. This latest exhibition of her work is entitled “Sky<br />

and Earth”-- pulp paintings she created from 1995-2011.<br />

Inspired by the vast skies and landscapes observed over<br />

many years living in the Northeast Kingdom, Van Vliet<br />

states,“It was the clouds coming close over the plateau of<br />

Newark that made me settle there fifty years ago – they come<br />

out of the Willoughby Lake gap and feel like one could actually<br />

touch them. The plateau is high and there are long views<br />

to the hills and mountains, but mainly there is a big sky”.<br />

Using mineral pigments in a two-dimensional handmade<br />

papermaking process to color and form the images into textured<br />

paper. Van Vilet then further develops some of the<br />

images by working with acrylic watercolor paints. Some of<br />

the pieces in the exhibit were made in collaboration with artists<br />

Katie MacGregor and Bernie Vinzani, of Whiting, Maine.<br />

These collectively-created works are in large format and<br />

require many hands to work with the materials.<br />

Vermont State Curator, David Schutz-- “Claire has lived in<br />

Vermont for over a half century, and we are thrilled to add her<br />

name to a roster that now includes many of the state’s most<br />

important artists. Claire’s long career speaks for itself, and<br />

these pulp paintings are amazing works that Vermonters will<br />

now get to see in the great setting of the Vermont Supreme<br />

Court Gallery.”<br />

About the artist: Claire Van Vliet was born in Ottawa,<br />

Ontario. She is a fine artist, illustrator and typographer who<br />

founded Janus Press--originally in San Diego, California<br />

--then in 1966, moving the press to Newark, Vermont where it<br />

has remained to this day. Van Vliet received her Bachelor of<br />

Arts from San Diego State College, and went on to complete<br />

her Master of Fine Arts from Claremont Graduate School. She<br />

worked for John Anderson of Lanston Monotype Company in<br />

Philadelphia before moving to Madison, Wisconsin. She also<br />

Thank You!<br />

Dear Editor,<br />

Fellow residents of Bennington and the surrounding area,<br />

we at the Vermont Veterans’ Home want to thank you for<br />

participating in this year’s National Wreaths Across America<br />

Day at the Vermont Veterans’ Home. Each December on<br />

National Wreaths Across America Day, the mission to<br />

Remember, Honor and Teach is carried out by coordinating<br />

wreath-laying ceremonies at Arlington National Cemetery, as<br />

well as over 1,100 additional locations in all 50 U.S. states, at<br />

sea, and abroad.<br />

Again, this year the day was cold, windy, and snowing, yet<br />

as resilient Vermonters, over 375 of you attended and participated<br />

in honoring those who had served our great nation.<br />

Incredibly, we had sufficient wreaths to lay a wreath, call out<br />

the Veteran’s name, and salute ALL Veterans interned at our<br />

Vermont Home. Thank you to Amy Maroney for spearheading<br />

this amazing and never to be forgotten accomplishment.<br />

Also in attendance were several youth groups, Boy Scouts,<br />

Girl Scouts, and church groups. This was our largest turnout<br />

ever, we are extremely grateful for you setting aside time during<br />

your busy holiday schedule to join us and participate.<br />

We appreciate our State Representatives who joined and<br />

participated, Mary Morrissey and Kiah Morris.<br />

You all attended not to “decorate graves,” but to commemorate<br />

their sacrifice and dedication to these United States<br />

and to the cause of Everlasting Freedom. A profound Thanks<br />

to all who attended!<br />

Semper Fidelis<br />

Expanded Bottle Bill Would Result in<br />

Cleaner Streets<br />

To the Editor:<br />

As volunteers with the “Trash Tramps” group, which picks up<br />

trash every Tuesday in Montpelier, we’re well acquainted<br />

with litter in the downtown. Every week, we and other volunteers<br />

pick up a wide variety of empty beverage containers that<br />

probably would not be there if our current bottle bill was<br />

expanded to include them. An expanded bottle bill and an<br />

increased deposit would result in cleaner streets and rivers<br />

throughout Vermont which would have economic benefits in<br />

addition to benefits for wildlife and public health. Please join<br />

us in urging our legislators to support an expanded bottle bill<br />

in the upcoming legislative session.<br />

Chamber Supports Reliability & Affordability<br />

By William D. Moore<br />

An idea that was met with enormous<br />

opposition at the polls in 2016 and in<br />

the general assembly in 20<strong>17</strong> is still<br />

being promoted as the solution to the<br />

challenge of climate change. This miracle<br />

is known as the Carbon Tax.<br />

Proponents claim that the “fee” for<br />

using motor vehicles, heating homes<br />

and businesses and imposing it on virtually<br />

anything that emits carbon will force consumers and<br />

industry to use less, ultimately lowering emissions.<br />

Make no mistake, what proponents of a carbon “fee” are<br />

talking about is a tax that will affect each and every Vermonter.<br />

It is in fact not a “fee” but is a new tax, plain and simple. Fees<br />

are generally defined as monies collected to fund the operation<br />

of specific programs. A tax is generally revenue collected<br />

to operate government.<br />

Proponents of the Carbon Tax have floated an incremental<br />

increase in the tax on fuels (gasoline, diesel, heating oil, etc,)<br />

of up to $.89. Put into perspective, today’s Vermont gas tax is<br />

$.30 per gallon ($.32 for diesel). Add on the federal fuel<br />

excise tax of $.18.4 ($.242 for diesel) and today’s gasoline tax<br />

is $.48.4 per gallon. Given today’s average per gallon cost for<br />

gasoline of $2.58, you can get an idea of where a Carbon Tax<br />

will take us. And that is without any sudden escalation for the<br />

price of a barrel of crude.<br />

A selling point that proponents always promise is that the<br />

Carbon Tax will be used to subsidize electric rates. Often, the<br />

promise is that the Carbon Tax will be used to support low<br />

income consumers, fund renewable energy, etc. How often<br />

have we promises like that before, only to see the new tax<br />

collected used for some other purpose?<br />

The Carbon Tax is, like any sales tax, regressive by its very<br />

nature. Those who can least afford it will be forced to pay<br />

GUEST OPINION<br />

Congress Must Step Up to Help States Protect the<br />

Integrity of Our Elections<br />

By Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos<br />

As Vermont’s chief election official, ensuring the accuracy<br />

and integrity of our elections is one of my highest priorities.<br />

In a world of constantly changing technology we must stay<br />

ahead of those who seek to undermine the integrity of our<br />

elections. We must ensure that our elections are secure and<br />

free from interference, especially cyber-attacks from foreign<br />

entities like Russia.<br />

Alongside election officials from around the<br />

country, I work hard daily to do just that, and to<br />

stay ahead of rapidly developing technology<br />

and those who would use it to harm our<br />

democratic process. As Congress<br />

approves the largest tax cut in history, I<br />

can’t envision an investment more<br />

important to our democracy than an<br />

infrastructure that ensures our elections<br />

remain tethered to the important<br />

principle of ‘one person, one vote.’<br />

Today I’m calling upon Congress to<br />

fulfill their commitment to this value.<br />

In 2002, Congress passed the “Help<br />

America Vote Act” (HAVA) to help states<br />

improve election systems and practices. Under<br />

the Act Congress committed $3.9 billion to states<br />

for these efforts. However, today, fifteen years later, Congress<br />

still has yet to provide $396 million of that funding. If members<br />

of Congress are serious about ensuring that our elections,<br />

the bedrock of this country’s democracy, remain protected<br />

from the electronic interference of those who would wish to<br />

do harm, it is imperative that they provide states with the<br />

remaining 396 million dollars due under the Help America<br />

Vote Act of 2002.<br />

As existing election infrastructure ages, election officials<br />

are under increasing pressure to modernize and innovate in<br />

order to ensure that elections continue to be administered in a<br />

secure and efficient manner. These efforts have become even<br />

more important as election officials work to counter a new<br />

generation of cyber security threats to election systems. As I,<br />

and my colleagues around the country, work to update and<br />

maintain aging election systems, we’re calling upon Congress<br />

VOTE<br />

to assist us in this critical effort by providing states with the<br />

remaining funding under HAVA.<br />

This investment will not solve all of the challenges we election<br />

officials face, but it will help states, including Vermont,<br />

enhance the efficiency and security of elections through the<br />

purchase of new voting systems, the implementation of additional<br />

cybersecurity tools, and the hiring of IT professionals.<br />

My call to action for Congress doesn’t stop with the release<br />

of remaining HAVA money. In addition, Congress<br />

should also be actively considering a “HAVA II”<br />

to support the work my colleagues and I are<br />

doing to protect our elections from interference<br />

by bad actors.<br />

While the remaining $396 million dollars<br />

under HAVA will help in assisting<br />

states in overcoming this new generation of<br />

threats to our elections systems, more<br />

funding beyond that amount will be<br />

required to meaningfully bring our country’s<br />

elections systems up-to-date.<br />

I would invite any member of Congress<br />

who does not believe that prioritizing the<br />

integrity and security of our elections is<br />

worthwhile to have an honest conversation<br />

with me and with the bi-partisan group of election<br />

officials from around the country who are calling for this<br />

much-needed investment. This is about the very core of our<br />

democracy, and how their actions strengthen or weaken our<br />

ability to carry out those fundamental democratic principles.<br />

Every day I strive to ensure that elections are administered<br />

in a secure manner, whether it’s protecting voter registration<br />

data from cybersecurity threats, or ensuring that votes cast are<br />

protected from tampering or manipulation. As election officials<br />

work to fulfill this commitment to improve voter confidence,<br />

Congress must fulfill its commitment to states by fully<br />

funding HAVA now, and by ensuring that there will be further<br />

investment in the security of our elections in the future to keep<br />

us ahead of the evolving threats in the digital age.<br />

Only by doing so can we maintain the public’s confidence<br />

in our elections, and in democracy itself. The stakes could not<br />

be higher, and Congress must step up.<br />

The Hateful Eight HHH1/2<br />

Some people interpret “Thou shalt not bear false witness”<br />

to mean that God prohibits lying completely.<br />

I’m not so sure. I think that it makes more sense that<br />

the 8th Commandment is intended to condemn those who<br />

have sworn to tell the truth in a specific circumstance and then<br />

lie. Perjury=breaking a commandment. Lying=not great, but<br />

what are you going to do?<br />

Lies are like Dollar Stores. They’re everywhere. They’re<br />

bad. The world would be better without them, but there’s no<br />

sense in trying to stop them entirely. The best thing a wise<br />

person can do is learn to spot them and deal with them.<br />

Someday you’ll get a pop up on your computer or a call<br />

from someone who says that your computer is infected with<br />

viruses.<br />

If you don’t recognize that the “Microsoft” guy on the other<br />

end of the phone is lying, you will be giving him your credit<br />

card number and you’ll rightly feel like a fool.<br />

The consequences of gullibility in that case is $200. In<br />

Quentin Tarantino’s “The Hateful Eight,” the consequences of<br />

believing lies is swift violent death.<br />

The story begins in a covered wagon plodding through the<br />

Wyoming snow circa 1875. All four passengers (Kurt Russell,<br />

Jennifer Jason Leigh, Walton Coggins, and Samuel L Jackson)<br />

are on their way to the town of Red Rock. But they may never<br />

get there.<br />

Because of a blinding blizzard, the four hearty old westerners<br />

end up stopping for night at Minnie’s Haberdashery. But<br />

Minnie isn’t there, four unknown men are. Our eight antiheroes<br />

need to be smart about who they trust or they won’t<br />

live through the night.<br />

If you like Agatha Christie-style whodunnits and don’t<br />

mind hearing the n-word every three minutes, you’ll love<br />

“The Hateful Eight.”<br />

Reliability & Affordability continued from previous page<br />

more in order to get to work. They will pay more to drive<br />

to the store. They will pay more to go to visit relatives. The<br />

cost to heat their homes will increase exponentially. The cost<br />

to use electricity for cooking and watching television will go<br />

up. The cost to use natural gas, propane, etc. for cooking and<br />

heating will go up. Obviously, anyone who lives in a rural<br />

area and has a commute to work will feel the pinch.<br />

Another piece to the Carbon Tax might be to tax carbonproducing<br />

industries at the rate of up to $10 per ton of carbon<br />

emissions produced and incrementally increase it until it<br />

reaches $100 per ton.<br />

The Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation’s<br />

most recent (20<strong>12</strong>) study on greenhouse emissions said that<br />

the state produced 9.<strong>12</strong> million tons of greenhouse gasses.<br />

Transportation was responsible for 45 percent of those emissions,<br />

while residential and commercial fuels were responsible<br />

for 21 percent. Electricity generation was responsible for<br />

11 percent. Agriculture was responsible for 10.2 percent.<br />

Interestingly, Industrial Fuels came in at 6.2 percent and<br />

Industrial Processes registered 3.4 percent.<br />

The bottom line is that the Carbon Tax is a pocketbook<br />

issue for all consumers. Businesses will not absorb the higher<br />

Quentin Tarantino’s best film, “Pulp Fiction,” was about<br />

the supernatural power of faith. The two lead characters who<br />

follow their moral instincts – Bruce Willis and Samuel L<br />

Jackson – survive. Meanwhile, John Travolta ignores a miracle<br />

and dies ignominiously.<br />

“The Hateful Eight” puts a dark spin on the same theme. In<br />

Tarantino’s post-Civil War America, God has turned the other<br />

way. There are no miracles and there are no moral people.<br />

There are only savvy men and gullible corpses.<br />

In the film’s most memorable scene, Samuel L Jackson’s<br />

character tries to infuriate an old Confederate General with a<br />

vivid, lurid tall-tale. It’s fairly obvious to us that Jackson’s<br />

story is made up. The General partly understands it, too. All<br />

he needs to do is control his foolish instincts to believe what<br />

he is told and he will live…<br />

“The Hateful Eight” isn’t Tarantino’s best. But even mediocre<br />

Tarantino films contain more memorable dialogue and<br />

outrageous comedy than anything else out there.<br />

In this deception-filled world, learning to tell the difference<br />

between what’s real and what’s not is one of the greatest skills<br />

you can have.<br />

And that’s no lie.<br />

costs that they face due to the Carbon Tax. That tax increase<br />

will also be passed directly back to consumers in the form of<br />

higher prices.<br />

Vermont legislators are not the only ones who are considering<br />

this huge tax increase. There is a plan underfoot in the<br />

Northeast led by the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative to<br />

map out a strategy to impose a regional Carbon Tax. We’ll be<br />

keeping an eye on this.<br />

Rather than support a higher taxing scheme, the Central<br />

Vermont Chamber of Commerce supports energy policies that<br />

encourage reliable and affordable electricity and fuels for<br />

heating and transportation. We want to ensure rates that are<br />

competitive and are cognizant of the cost to businesses of all<br />

sizes. We encourage energy conservation and use of renewables<br />

without shifting costs. We also support local control<br />

over siting renewable energy sources.<br />

The Chamber supports efforts to reduce greenhouse gas<br />

emissions. We believe that the private sector leads the way in<br />

technology and innovation, offering the greatest potential to<br />

emission reductions and easing the harmful impacts of climate<br />

change. What do you think?<br />

DECEMBER BRIDAL DIRECTORY | THE WORLD<br />

Unconventional wedding menu ideas<br />

Traditionally, one of the more memorable<br />

aspects of wedding receptions<br />

is the food. Whether it was fun,<br />

tasty or something entirely new for<br />

guests, food tends to leave a lasting impression.<br />

The experts at Boho Weddings say that, more than ever<br />

before, couples are seeking menu ideas that reflect their<br />

personalities as a couple as they seek to make a statement<br />

at their events. Celebrating with delicious, unique foods can<br />

make receptions that much more amazing.<br />

BITE-SIZED BURSTS<br />

Tapas and a movement toward small bites has started to<br />

take hold at wedding receptions. Such a choice allows guests<br />

to try many different flavors without filling up too quickly.<br />

From sliders to mini grilled cheese to soup shots to bite-sized<br />

pizzas, many of these small bites feature flavors borrowed<br />

from familiar comfort foods — just presented on a miniature<br />

scale.<br />

COMFORT STATIONS AND BARS<br />

Couples who love comfort food can put it on display with<br />

a crostini station, a mashed potato bar, a chicken and waffles<br />

station, a gourmet popcorn snack station, or a ramen noodle<br />

bar.<br />

FOOD TRUCKS/CARTS<br />

Outdoor weddings can be enhanced with the addition of<br />

trendy food trucks. These restaurants on wheels can inject<br />

burgers, sandwiches, international delights, crêpes, noodles,<br />

and so many more flavors into a wedding.<br />

HIGH-END OPTIONS<br />

Couples may want to give guests a taste of the lavish with<br />

olive oil and vinegar tasting stations, whiskey bars, French<br />

hors d’oeuvres, Kobe beef sliders, lobster tails, risotto stations,<br />

and more.<br />

CHILDHOOD FAVORITES<br />

When it comes time for dessert, some couples opt to avoid<br />

or downplay wedding cakes in favor of something simpler.<br />

A cookie-and-milk bar, doughnut holes, soft pretzel stations,<br />

pie pops, or dessert shot jars push creativity and sweetness to<br />

new levels. Do-it-yourself dessert stations, such as s’moremaking<br />

and ice cream sundae stations, also can be big hits.<br />

Couples are increasingly feeling less beholden to traditional<br />

wedding reception menus as they look to infuse their<br />

personal tastes into the foods they plan to serve their guests.<br />

Many catering managers and chefs welcome the chance to<br />

work with couples looking to create unique reception menus.<br />

DID YOU KNOW<br />

Food can make or break a wedding reception. Couples<br />

researching potential reception sites for their parties should<br />

be sure to schedule tastings and confirm how the foods<br />

will look upon being served. In addition to the taste of the<br />

food, couples may want to consider which menu items are<br />

offered — particularly those that align with the latest trends<br />

in wedding reception catering. Based on data compiled by<br />

The Knot, She Knows, Delish, and various food bloggers, the<br />

following food trends are worthy of notice.<br />

• Colorful foods: Guests are often first tempted by the appearance<br />

of foods, and bold colors can set dishes apart.<br />

• Brunch items: Recognizing that daytime weddings can be<br />

much less expensive than evening affairs, couples may want<br />

to have brunch-themed weddings, featuring omelets, pancakes,<br />

French toast, and other tasty breakfast foods.<br />

• Fancier “ordinary” fare: Although chicken fingers and<br />

meatballs aren’t normally given gourmet status, they can be<br />

dressed up and repackaged for weddings. Whole-grain breadings,<br />

Kobe beef meatballs and Asian dipping sauces give<br />

foods some flair.<br />

• Family feel: Some weddings are now served “family<br />

style” where guests can share from larger passed plates. This<br />

serves to connect everyone at the table and encourages conversation,<br />

helping to establish a warm atmosphere.<br />

SHARING YOUR CARE<br />

When a Loved One Needs a Caregiver’s Support<br />

One topic that comes up fairly often at<br />

caregiver support meetings is: am I capable of<br />

being a caregiver? The simple answer is yes,<br />

we are all capable of being a caregiver in<br />

some way or another. Being a caregiver<br />

doesn’t necessarily mean you have to provide<br />

all the care by yourself, 24/7. Here are a few<br />

strategies to consider when deciding how to<br />

provide the best care you can.<br />

1. Consider your own needs, abilities and<br />

limitations.<br />

a. Do you work outside the home & need to<br />

continue?<br />

b. How much care does your loved one’s<br />

health condition require (very little, some,<br />

frequent, constant)?<br />

c. Are you comfortable providing all of your<br />

loved ones care needs or are you uncomfortable<br />

with some aspects?<br />

d. Can the needs be met at home by one or<br />

two people, or a combo of in home & outside<br />

the home care, or would a facility be able to<br />

better provide the needed care?<br />

e. Do you have other family members, friends<br />

and community members who are willing to<br />

share the care, in your home?<br />

CDC National Diabetes Prevention<br />

Program Offered at Gifford<br />

Gifford Health Care’s Community Health<br />

Team is partnering with Vermont Blueprint<br />

for Health to offer the CDC-approved<br />

PreventT2 diabetes prevention program,<br />

which can prevent or delay type 2 diabetes.<br />

Prediabetes (when blood sugar levels are<br />

higher than normal) puts people at risk for<br />

developing serious health conditions, including<br />

Type 2 diabetes, stroke, and heart disease.<br />

(To see if you are at risk take the test at<br />

https://doihaveprediabetes.org/prediabetesrisk-test.html<br />

.)<br />

Trained PreventT2 facilitators can teach<br />

you about small lifestyle changes—setting<br />

• • •<br />

• • •<br />

2. Utilize resources that are available to help<br />

with making these decisions.<br />

a. Reach out to your doctor, clergy and other<br />

family members.<br />

b. Contact area agencies to see what assistance<br />

is available (Central VT Council on<br />

Aging and Central VT Home Health &<br />

Hospice).<br />

c. Disease specific associations (Alzheimer’s,<br />

Multiple Sclerosis, Parkinson’s, etc.) can provide<br />

information and support.<br />

3. Remember, no decision has to be final and<br />

forever. As time passes and things change,<br />

you can and should re-evaluate the situation<br />

and work with others to find new “best” solutions<br />

for you and your loved one’s needs.<br />

No two situations are alike, and no one<br />

person was ever meant to meet all of another<br />

person’s needs. There are resources in your<br />

local community that are ready and willing to<br />

share their expertise in a way that will help<br />

you. If you have questions or need more<br />

information, please email info@pibarre.giffordhealthcare.org<br />

and our caregiver support<br />

specialist will be in touch.<br />

physical exercise goals, healthy eating, managing<br />

stress, and behavior modification—that<br />

can help reverse prediabetes. Participants in<br />

this free year-long program meet weekly for<br />

sixteen weeks followed by twice a month and<br />

then once a month meetings for a total of 22<br />

sessions.<br />

Learn more about this class and register on<br />

Saturday, January 13th from 10:30 to 11:30<br />

a.m. at the Gifford Conference Center. Contact<br />

1913 by Italian granite workers. The bakery is located behind the<br />

native Vermonters and enthusiastic<br />

transplants, it takes creativity,<br />

takes a commitment to honoring<br />

the past while moving<br />

towards the future.<br />

• For many Americans, Aug.<br />

21 was a once-in-a-lifetime<br />

opportunity to see one of the<br />

greatest displays in nature: a<br />

total solar eclipse. Partial solar<br />

eclipses — those in which the<br />

moon blocks a portion of the<br />

sun during the daytime hours<br />

— aren’t particularly uncommon.<br />

Total solar eclipses, in<br />

contrast, are far less common,<br />

especially for people who<br />

don’t have the means or interest to travel to obscure corners of the<br />

globe to witness them.<br />

SEPTEMBER<br />

• The Spaulding High School<br />

football field got a new flag.<br />

Mike Gilbert, a 1966 graduate<br />

of Spaulding High School and<br />

one who frequently walks the<br />

track at the school, noticed the<br />

flag and flagpole was looking<br />

a bit shabby. The class of 1966<br />

had a little money remaining in<br />

their treasury after their 50th<br />

reunion, and Mike thought it<br />

WORLD SPORTS & OUTDOORS<br />

VT F&W Offers Ice Safety Tips<br />

The recent arrival of cold temperature has<br />

formed early-season ice on Vermont ponds,<br />

lakes and rivers. The Vermont Fish & Wildlife<br />

Department reminds winter enthusiasts that<br />

ice should never be considered safe and ice<br />

conditions vary.<br />

“We are urging all outdoor enthusiasts –<br />

people going ice fishing, cross-country skiers,<br />

hikers, and snowmobilers -- to be extremely<br />

cautious and prepared if they are going to<br />

venture out on any ice,” said Vermont Fish &<br />

Wildlife’s Chief Game Warden Jason<br />

Batchelder. “Ice conditions can vary dramatically<br />

on different parts of a lake. Remember,<br />

even though it may look thick enough on the<br />

surface, moving water from currents, rivers<br />

and springs can cause ice to form unevenly.”<br />

“Once we have sustained cold weather to<br />

form good ice, activities such as ice fishing<br />

can be safe and a lot of fun,” said Batchelder,<br />

“but when we go onto the ice, we need to use<br />

good judgment and observe several safety<br />

precautions.” Leave your car or truck on<br />

shore. Every year several motor vehicles go<br />

through the ice on Vermont lakes, and some<br />

people have drowned as a result.<br />

• Leave information about your plans with<br />

someone -- where you intend to fish and<br />

when you expect to return. Wear a personal<br />

flotation device and don’t fish alone.<br />

• Fish with a friend. Ice fishing is a great sport<br />

to share with family members and friends,<br />

and having a partner with you increases both<br />

the fun and the safety.<br />

• Ice varies in thickness and condition. Always<br />

carry an ice spud or chisel to check ice as you<br />

• • •<br />

proceed.<br />

• Be extremely cautious crossing ice near<br />

river mouths, points of land, bridges, islands,<br />

and over reefs and springs. Current almost<br />

always causes ice to be thinner over these<br />

areas.<br />

• Avoid going onto the ice if it has melted<br />

away from the shore. This indicates melting is<br />

underway, and ice can shift position as wind<br />

direction changes.<br />

• Waves from open water can quickly break<br />

up large areas of ice. If you can see open<br />

water in the lake and the wind picks up, get<br />

off!<br />

• Bring your fully-charged cell phone with<br />

you.<br />

• Carry a set of hand spikes to help you work<br />

your way out onto the surface of the ice if you<br />

go through. Holding one in each hand, you<br />

can alternately punch them into the ice and<br />

pull yourself up and out. You can make these<br />

at home, using large nails, or you can purchase<br />

them at stores that sell fishing supplies.<br />

• Carry a safety line that can be thrown to<br />

someone who has gone through the ice.<br />

• Heated fishing shanties must have good<br />

ventilation to prevent deadly carbon monoxide<br />

poisoning. Open a window or the door<br />

part way to allow in fresh air.<br />

If you have questions regarding ice fishing<br />

or ice conditions, contact your local Vermont<br />

State Game Warden via your closest state<br />

police barracks or by calling Vermont Fish &<br />

Wildlife Headquarters at 802-828-1529.<br />

If you want to learn more about ice fishing, be sure to mark your calendar for one of these upcoming<br />

clinics.<br />

Ice Fishing Clinics Scheduled<br />

Learning how to participate in an outdoor<br />

activity can be challenging, and ice fishing is<br />

a good example. Knowing this, the Vermont<br />

Fish & Wildlife Department has scheduled a<br />

series of ice fishing clinics for first-timers and<br />

those who would like to learn more about<br />

hard water fishing.<br />

“Our ice fishing clinics will be held from<br />

mid-January to mid-February with the possibility<br />

that some dates may change according<br />

to ice and weather conditions,” said Fish &<br />

Wildlife Education Specialist Corey Hart.<br />

“Everyone is welcome no matter their experience<br />

level. We want this to be fun and helpful<br />

for all.”<br />

The Basic Ice fishing courses will teach<br />

beginners all the skills they need to know to<br />

be successful and safe while ice fishing. The<br />

Introductory courses will review the basics<br />

while focusing on teaching anglers the skills<br />

they need to target a specific species.<br />

Each clinic will last 2 ½ to 3 hours, and<br />

exact location details will be given when<br />

people register for the event. Topics to be<br />

covered include ice safety, hole drilling,<br />

equipment and techniques, regulations and<br />

different techniques for different fish.<br />

All participants will have the opportunity<br />

to practice what they have learned near the<br />

end of each event. Everyone is urged to wear<br />

clothing suitable for the weather conditions.<br />

Pre-registration is required by contacting<br />

Corey Hart at LetsGoFishing@vermont.gov<br />

or 802-265-2<strong>27</strong>9.<br />

Girls on the Run VT Seeks<br />

Volunteers to Help Lead Program<br />

Girls on the Run Vermont (GOTRVT) is<br />

widely known throughout the state for its<br />

physical activity-based, positive youth development<br />

program designed to empower local<br />

girls in 3rd through 8th grade. A recent independent<br />

study conducted by Maureen R.<br />

Weiss, Ph.D., a leading expert on youth<br />

development, provides compelling evidence<br />

that Girls on the Run is highly effective at<br />

driving transformative and lasting change in<br />

the lives of young girls.<br />

Girls who participate in the program develop<br />

and improve competence, feel confident in<br />

who they are, develop strength of character,<br />

respond to others and oneself with care, create<br />

positive connections with peers and adults,<br />

and make a meaningful contribution to community<br />

and society. It is the combination of<br />

the research-based curriculum, trained coaches<br />

and a commitment to serve all girls that<br />

sets Girls on the Run apart from other afterschool<br />

programs. In 20<strong>17</strong>, the National<br />

Afterschool Association (NAA) selected Girls<br />

on the Run as one of the most influential programs<br />

in health and wellness.<br />

Girls on the Run Vermont serves girls at 89<br />

sites in Northern Vermont and is in need of<br />

250 more coaches to ensure that every girl<br />

will have an opportunity to participate in their<br />

transformative program this spring. Schools/<br />

sites in need of coaches in CENTRAL<br />

Vermont include: Hyde Park Elementary;<br />

Morristown Elementary; People’s Academy<br />

Middle School; Bradford Elementary;<br />

Randolph Elementary; Tunbridge Central;<br />

Williamstown Middle School; Berlin<br />

Elementary; Cabot School; Calais Elementary;<br />

Crosset Brook Middle; Doty Memorial; East<br />

Montpelier Elementary; Main Street Middle<br />

• • •<br />

School; Northfield Elementary; Union<br />

Elementary; Warren School; Craftsbury<br />

Academy; & Norwich Rec.<br />

Meeting twice a week for 90 minutes, volunteer<br />

coaches utilize the curriculum to<br />

engage small teams of girls in fun, interactive<br />

lessons. The program culminates with all<br />

teams in Northern Vermont participating in a<br />

celebratory 5K on Saturday, June 2nd 2018 in<br />

Essex Junction. Volunteer coaches do not<br />

have to be runners but must complete a background<br />

check and participate in the Girls on<br />

the Run online and in-person training/workshop.<br />

This training qualifies for continuing<br />

education credits.<br />

Christmas Punch Bowl<br />

If you were getting ready for the traditional Christmas<br />

party in 1860s England, you might have been searching the<br />

storage cupboards for the holiday punch bowl. Colorful,<br />

decorative majolica serving pieces were popular then, and<br />

George Jones made some of the best. Starting in 1866, he<br />

made covered dishes for cheese, game pie and even sardines.<br />

Special dishes were made for honey, cake, oysters,<br />

butter, berries, biscuits or other foods. All were decorated<br />

with raised flowers, leaves or figures glazed in bright colors.<br />

Jones was joined by his sons in 1873, and the company<br />

name was changed to “George Jones & Sons.” George died<br />

in 1893, the company was sold in 1929 and the name was<br />

changed by 1951. Early pieces are marked with the overlapping<br />

letters “GJ” in a circle until 1873, when a crescent with<br />

“& sons” was added. Majolica lost favor and was considered<br />

“kitsch” until about 1970, when it began to be used by<br />

decorators on the East Coast. Today, George Jones majolica<br />

is expensive. The amusing Christmas punch bowl that is<br />

decorated with holly and held by the famous puppet character<br />

Punch auctioned at Skinner’s in Boston for $3,075.<br />

Q: I found three cases of unused Coca-Cola Christmas<br />

glasses in the attic after my mother died. There are 72<br />

glasses in each case from the Haddon Sundblom Series 1,<br />

2 and 3 in original boxes. The boxes are worn from age.<br />

My parents owned a restaurant and purchased these in the<br />

1970s. Is there a market for collectors for these cases of<br />

glasses?<br />

A: Haddon Sundblum (1899-1976) was an American artist<br />

best known for his paintings of Santa Claus that were used<br />

in Coca-Cola ads. His depiction of Santa as a jolly, rotund<br />

old gentleman influenced the way Santa Claus is pictured<br />

today. Sundblom’s first painting for Coca-Cola was used in<br />

a 1931 ad. His last was done in 1964 but Coca-Cola continued<br />

to use Sundblom’s images for several years. Coca-<br />

Cola collectibles are popular and there is a club for collectors,<br />

The Coca-Cola Collectors Club, www.cocacolacollectors.club.<br />

The Sundblom Christmas glasses have been<br />

reproduced. Glasses from the Sundblom series sell for $2<br />

to $10 each.<br />

LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE /<br />

Lose 20 pounds in one week?<br />

This is almost impossible!<br />

Weight loss ads must refl ect<br />

the typical experiences of the<br />

diet users. Beware of programs<br />

that claim you can lose<br />

weight effortlessly. TIP: Clues<br />

to fraudulent ads include<br />

words like: “breakthrough,”<br />

“effortless,” and “new discovery.”<br />

When you see words like<br />

these be skeptical. Before you<br />

invest your time and money<br />

call the ATTORNEY GEN-<br />

WANT A CURE-ALL?<br />

Health fraud is a business<br />

that sells false hope. Beware<br />

of unsubstantiated claims for<br />

health products and services.<br />

There are no “Quick Cures”<br />

— no matter what the ad is<br />

claiming. TIP: DO NOT rely<br />

on promises of a “money back<br />

guarantee!” Watch out for key<br />

words such as “exclusive secret,”<br />

“amazing results,” or<br />

“scientifi c breakthrough.” For<br />

Explore the reasons to purchase<br />

pet insurance<br />

When it comes to their pets,<br />

many pet owners will go to<br />

great lengths to ensure the<br />

comfort, happiness and health<br />

of their animal companions. Advances in veterinary<br />

care have helped pets live longer and<br />

healthier lives than ever before.<br />

Advances in pet health care can prolong pets’ lives, but<br />

that can sometimes come at a steep price. Pet owners continually<br />

face the difficult challenge of whether medical intervention<br />

is necessary and financially feasible. A pet insurance<br />

policy can make such dilemmas easier to navigate.<br />

An Associated Press survey found that 41 percent of pet<br />

owners are extremely or somewhat worried they could not<br />

afford the medical bills if their pets became ill. According<br />

to the American Pet Products Association, pet owners spend<br />

between $220 and $250 per year on average on routine well<br />

vet visits for their cats and dogs. But unforseen surgeries<br />

and emergencies can set pet owners back several thousand<br />

dollars.<br />

Some emergencies are far more costly than others. Veterinary<br />

Pet Insurance says the average cost for a vet to extract<br />

a dog’s tooth is $829. But repairing torn cartilage can cost<br />

nearly $2,700.<br />

Individuals with elderly pets or breeds prone to genetic<br />

disorders may be wise to look into pet insurance to defray<br />

some of their vet costs. Keep in mind that pet insurers are<br />

allowed to refuse coverage for preexisting conditions and can<br />

set annual limits and lifetime payout limits.<br />

Here are some reasons why pet insurance can be a worthwhile<br />

investment.<br />

• Pet insurance typically allows policy holders to choose<br />

their own veterinarians. Such policies do not typically<br />

mandate that pets be taken to particular doctors to have their<br />

costs covered.<br />

• Pet insurance allows pet owners to make decisions based<br />

on the best interest of the pet and not on their financial situations.<br />

• Insurance offers peace of mind because many plans reimburse<br />

up to 80 percent after deductibles are met. Some plans<br />

even offer multipet discounts.<br />

Pet insurance is a relatively new, but growing industry.<br />

Veterinary Pet Insurance issued their first policy in 1982.<br />

Consumers can now shop around and find the best options<br />

for their needs.<br />

Pet insurance is an option for pet owners who want to provide<br />

for their companion animals. Such insurance can be a<br />

sound financial decision that gives pet owners peace of mind.<br />

CRICKET<br />

Cricket is a super friendly gal, looking to<br />

be buddies with every human she meets.<br />

She has the most adorable tilt to her<br />

head, while she looks deeply into your<br />

eyes. In her previous home, she was too<br />

interested in chickens, and wouldn’t give<br />

other canine friends any of her valuable<br />

time. She is good in the car, curious<br />

about all new things she sees on walks,<br />

and loves to be petted! She knows Sit,<br />

Down, Give Paw, and walks very nicely<br />

on leash. A Good Manners training<br />

class is included in her adoption fee.<br />

Puppy Is No Gift for Baby Boy<br />

DEAR PAW’S CORNER:<br />

This is our baby’s first<br />

Christmas, and we want it<br />

to be really special. I’d<br />

like to get him a puppy<br />

that can grow along with<br />

him. Any suggestions?<br />

-- Ted L., Tennessee<br />

DEAR TED: How about a<br />

stuffed animal? Seriously,<br />

while your son might love<br />

the puppy, and you’ll probably get some wonderful, cute<br />

pictures with them playing beside the tree, when the<br />

Christmas decorations come down and life resumes its<br />

daily course, that cute puppy may become a rambunctious<br />

nuisance.<br />

Think about it: You’ve got your hands full keeping your<br />

new baby happy. Bringing a puppy into the house would<br />

mean taking care of two babies, both of whom need lots of<br />

attention. Just training a puppy can be time-consuming --<br />

try doing it with a 1-year-old underfoot!<br />

Wait a few years until your son is old enough to both<br />

appreciate and care for a dog. He’ll still have a friend to<br />

grow up with, and he’ll learn responsibility. And even then,<br />

make sure to ask your son’s opinion first. He may want a<br />

fish instead.<br />

For now, give your baby a cuddly, low-maintenance<br />

stuffed animal for Christmas. If you’d like a picture of him<br />

with a cute puppy, ask a friend who’s adopted one if you<br />

can bring your son by for a photo, or contact a professional<br />

photographer. Your relatives will still coo over the<br />

darling photograph, and your wife won’t have a nervous<br />

breakdown!<br />

New Year’s resolutions that can benefit the planet<br />

New Year’s resolutions are typically<br />

made by individuals looking to improve<br />

their lives. Some people may<br />

resolve to read more, while others<br />

may be determined to start living healthier<br />

lifestyles. Men and women who want to<br />

improve their lives while also contributing<br />

to the greater good may want to tailor their<br />

resolutions around protecting the planet.<br />

Eco-friendly New Year’s resolutions may benefit individuals<br />

in some surprising ways. While men and women no doubt<br />

recognize the long-term benefits of protecting the planet they<br />

call home, the following resolutions also provide some more<br />

immediate benefits.<br />

• Unplug set-top cable boxes. It’s not an especially timeconsuming<br />

commitment, but unplugging set-top cable boxes<br />

and DVRs when they’re not being used can reduce carbon<br />

dioxide emissions and save substantial amounts of energy.<br />

A 2011 study from the National Resources Defense Council<br />

found that the electricity required to operate set-top cable<br />

boxes resulted in 16 million tons of CO2 emissions in the<br />

United States alone. The electricity needed to operate such<br />

boxes also costs American households more than $3 billion<br />

per year. The same study found that two-thirds of that energy<br />

consumption occurs when viewers are not watching or recording<br />

content. By unplugging these devices when they are<br />

not in use, people can save money and greatly reduce CO2<br />

emissions.<br />

• Support sustainable agriculture. According to the Grace<br />

Communications Foundation, an organization devoted to<br />

increasing public awareness of the critical environmental and<br />

public health issues created by the industrial food system,<br />

sustainable agriculture is the production of food, fiber, or<br />

other plant or animal products using farming techniques<br />

that protect the environment. Sustainable agriculture also<br />

employs farming techniques that protect public health and<br />

ensure the welfare of animals. Sustainable farms do not use<br />

chemical pesticides, synthetic fertilizers or genetically modified<br />

seeds, and such farms take steps to prevent the degradation<br />

of soil, water and other natural resources.<br />

• Cut back on driving. Men and women who can find ways<br />

to reduce the amount of time they spend behind the wheel<br />

can reduce vehicle emissions that harm the planet and cut<br />

back on fuel consumption. Reducing fuel consumption also<br />

reduces the fuel consumed and emissions produced by the<br />

trucks that transport that fuel from the refinery to the gas station.<br />

If possible, bike to work or take public transportation.<br />

People who live in more remote areas where biking or public<br />

transportation is not feasible can organize office car pools.<br />

• Spread the word. Another easy way that eco-friendly men<br />

and women can resolve to benefit the planet is to spread the<br />

word about issues facing the climate and what everyday citizens<br />

can do. Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore’s Climate<br />

Reality Project aims to unite people from all walks of life in<br />

an effort to encourage their leaders to focus on the climate.<br />

The project’s Climate Reality Leadership Corps is a global<br />

network of activists working to spread awareness about the<br />

climate and how to address the issues facing it.<br />

Eco-friendly New Year’s resolutions, even those that require<br />

little effort, can have a profound impact on the planet<br />

WORLD AUTOMOTIVE<br />

Prevent impaired/distracted driving<br />

Some of the most festive times of the year are associated with an increased risk of<br />

automotive accidents due to impaired driving. Any time alcohol, drugs, exhaustion,<br />

distractions, and driving are mixed, the results can be unsafe driving conditions that<br />

increase the risk of injury or death.<br />

IMPAIRED DRIVING<br />

Twenty-eight people die each day in the United States<br />

in vehicular accidents that involve an alcohol-impaired<br />

driver, accounting for one death every 51 minutes, offers the<br />

U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Statistics<br />

Canada points out that impaired driving remains one of the<br />

most frequent criminal offenses in Canada and is among the<br />

leading criminal causes of death. While alcohol-impaired<br />

driving has decreased over the past several decades, drugimpaired<br />

driving is on the rise.<br />

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration says<br />

alcohol and certain drugs reduce functions of the brain and<br />

impair thinking, reasoning and muscle coordination. These<br />

are all skills that are essential to the safe operation of motor<br />

vehicles. Some of the typical effects of impairment increase<br />

proportionally to the level of blood alcohol concentration.<br />

Furthermore, interactions between alcohol and other<br />

substances in the body can increase the level of risk when<br />

driving.<br />

Impairment laws vary by area. Blood alcohol concentration<br />

laws typically consider a blood alcohol content, or BAC,<br />

of .08 percent or above as criminal. The NHTSA says that a<br />

BAC of .08 or higher contributes to poor muscle coordination,<br />

leading to slower reaction control, decreased balance<br />

and impaired vision and hearing. Memory may be diminished<br />

and self-control and reasoning are compromised at this point<br />

as well.<br />

DISTRACTED DRIVING<br />

It is important to note that driving under the influence of<br />

illegal substances, alcohol and even prescription medications<br />

can lead to crashes. But a recent and increasingly pervasive<br />

driving problems is distracted driving. The Federal Communications<br />

Commission says the use of mobile devices behind<br />

Prevent impaired/distracted driving<br />

continued from previous page<br />

the wheel can cause unintended and deadly<br />

consequences. The NHTSA says that at<br />

any moment during the day, approximately<br />

660,000 drivers use cell phones or manipulate<br />

electronic devices while driving — a<br />

figure that has remained stable since 2010.<br />

Preventing vehicular accidents, injuries<br />

and fatalities comes down to using common<br />

sense.<br />

• No one should text and drive. Store<br />

phones out of reach or set “away” messages<br />

and quiet alerts while behind the wheel. If a<br />

phone must be used, pull over to a safe area<br />

to do so.<br />

• Know the side effects of medications you<br />

Jerry Dudley's Auto Connection<br />

Robert Dudley<br />

Jerry Dudley<br />

Find Us Online at dudleyauto.com<br />

CARS<br />

are taking and how they can impair driving.<br />

If taking a newly prescribed medication, do<br />

not operate a vehicle until you understand<br />

how it makes you feel.<br />

• Pull over if you are feeling drowsy<br />

behind the wheel. Opening the window or<br />

listening to loud music may not be enough to<br />

keep you awake.<br />

• Never mix alcohol or drugs with driving.<br />

Opt for a rideshare service or taxi if you will<br />

be having a few drinks at a bar or restaurant.<br />

Even one or two drinks can impair drivers.<br />

Impaired and distracted driving is no joke.<br />

It is a problem throughout the year, but one<br />

that is largely preventable.<br />
