Rice Memorial High School
Launches Public Phase of Capital Campaign
Rice Memorial High School, a private Catholic college preparatory school, has launched a capital campaign
to fund a Strategic Plan that includes expanding student recruitment, facility updates, and improvements to
technology and academic programs.
The public phase of the campaign began with a media event at Rice Memorial High School on October 10,
2013. The campaign has raised $7.4 million of its $10 million goal.
Rev. Msgr. Bernard W. Bourgeois, Principal, says the success of the campaign will allow Rice to continue to
meet the changing needs of students and the community, and to advance the mission of Rice Memorial High
School.
“This is a turning point in Rice’s history. In the late 1950’s, the faithful of Chittenden County sacrificed and
generously donated the money to build a brand new Catholic high school for their children and grandchildren.
Today, more than 50 years later, Rice needs to update its facilities, add to its financial reserves, and secure its
future through increased advancement efforts. With the same spirit that drove the builders of Rice so many
years ago, we are asking today’s generation of parents, alumni, and friends to invest in Rice’s future, so that
the mission of a Catholic high school for northern Vermont will live on for generations to come.”
Buyers and Sellers
NEW LISTINGS: 2, 4+ acre lots for sale
with build to suit packages available.

Rice alumnae Joan Gariepy O’Reilly ’66 and her husband David are the campaign’s
lead donors; Joan says giving is their way of saying thank you: “David and I are at a
stage in our lives when we can give back to the things that are closest to our hearts.
Rice is an obvious one. All five of my siblings went to Rice. Giving to the campaign is
our way of saying thank you.”
Campaign Chair and alumnus David Boardman ‘52 and his wife Joan say Rice not
only has a tremendous effect on its graduates, but on the communities it serves.

“Rice is much more than a school. It’s a place where young people discover their
God-given potential, and get a solid foundation for the rest of their lives. The faculty
and staff are dedicated to high academics and developing the whole person, mind,
body and soul. Over 90% of the graduates go on to advanced learning, with many
returning to the area as significant contributors. Most importantly, they live out the
basic principles learned at Rice, including a strong Christian faith, a desire to share,
give back, and to be an active part of our community. More than 5,000 Rice alumni
live, work, pay taxes and volunteer at many of the non-profits in Chittenden County.
They do ‘Walk the Talk.’”

The sunsets and sunrises we have experienced
during this past week are certainly a reminder of
the spectacular beauty of the Champlain Valley.
As the leaves start to fall and the temperatures
start dropping, it is the perfect time to get out

of the abounding beauty, but also because it
marks my annual Maine college girls weekend. It
makes me smile just mentioning it! Life is good!

Keeler Bay Health
Center Encourages
Patients to Schedule
Their Flu Shot
The Community Health Centers of Burlington Keeler Bay
Health Center is stocked with flu vaccine in an effort to keep
patients healthy this winter. Influenza, “the flu”, is a contagious
respiratory illness caused by influenza viruses that infect the
nose, throat, and lungs. The flu can cause mild to severe illness
and in more extreme cases, death. According to the Centers of
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) the best way to prevent
the flu is by getting a flu vaccine each year.
Flu shots are recommended for children younger than 5,
adults 65 years or older, and pregnant women. People with
medical conditions such as asthma, heart disease, and chronic
lung disease are also urged to get a flu shot, according to the
CDC website.
Keeler Bay Health Center patients interested in receiving a
flu shot should call 372-4687 to schedule an appointment and
for information on their new providers accepting patients.

NOTES
Sympathy goes out to family and friends of Jean
Lovell Marleau, 91, of Pine Harbour Assisted
Living Facility in Plattsburgh, who passed away
on October 4. Jean is a former resident of Rouses
Point and Chazy Landing. Sympathy goes out to
the family of Alfreda R. Willette, 86, formerly of
Champlain and Rouses Point, who passed away
on September 27, at Westminster Nursing Home
in Allentown, Pennsylvania.
Matt Borrie, son of Bob and Murielle Borrie
formerly of Rouses Point, now of Florida,
is undergoing extensive chemotherapy in
preparation for a bone marrow transplant. I am
sure he would appreciate encouragement and
prayers from his friends in the North Country.
His address is 1684 Parkland Pl, Port Orange, Fl.
32129.
I don’t know what all the people (statues)
dressed with hats, stylish coats and other finery
are doing on display throughout Alburgh’s main
street, but they are cool. Love the idea!
I have had an opportunity to drive through the
Adirondacks and mountains in Vermont and the
scenery has just been spectacular along with the
wonderful fall weather we are experiencing.
Don’t forget to get your flu shot. Several
pharmacies and local medical facilities are
giving the shot that hopefully will prevent us
from getting flu.

Tuesday, October 15. During October and
November, construction crews will widen
the Trail near ‘The Cut’ and begin building
new Bike Ferry docking and landing systems.
Construction vehicles will be coming in from
both the Colchester side at Mills Point Road and
the South Hero side at Martin Road. The project
will be completed in the spring of 2014.
Because of the construction, the Causeway on
the South Hero side will be closed October 15
through 18 and for most weekdays for the rest
of October and into November. Flaggers will be
directing traffic at times. The trail will be open
every weekend.

Help Chart Vermont’s
Economic Growth
What will Vermont’s economy look like in 2015 or
2025? How do we increase the economic well-being
of all Vermonters, building wages and creating good
jobs? Join the conversation and help plan the first
state-wide Comprehensive Economic Development
Strategy (CEDS).
This month citizens from around the state are
meeting in their regions to participate in workshops
as part of the CEDS process. The goal is to solicit
strategies and tactics to help build Vermont’s
economy, improve wages, build businesses, enhance
our quality of life and preserve Vermont’s brand,
values and natural resources.
A CEDS workshop, hosted by Franklin County
Industrial Development Corporation, the Lake
Champlain
Islands
Economic
Development
Corporation and the Northwest Regional Planning
Commission, will be held at the Franklin Grand Isle
Workforce Investment Board Training Center on
Precision Lane off Robin Hood Drive in Swanton

Deer Hunting
Opportunities
Hunters should feel upbeat about the state’s deer hunting seasons
this year, according to Vermont deer biologist Adam Murkowski.
“Vermont’s deer herd has benefited from two relatively mild
winters in a row,” said Murkowski. “Mild winter weather coupled
with a healthy and robust deer population mean herd growth is
expected in many regions of the state this year, and hunters can
choose between several different deer hunting opportunities starting
in October and continuing into December.”
“It is important that hunters continue to act as local wildlife
managers and stewards through harvesting an adequate number of
antlerless deer this year. Maintaining a healthy deer herd is beneficial
to Vermont hunters, the deer, and the habitats that support them.
Scientific management of the state’s deer herd would not be possible
without the active participation of Vermont hunters.”
In Vermont a hunter may take up to three deer in a calendar year
in any combination of seasons (Archery, Youth Weekend, November
Rifle Season, December Muzzleloader). Of these, only two may be
legal bucks, and only one buck may be taken in each season. A “legal
buck” is a deer with at least one antler having two or more points one
inch or longer. All three deer in the annual bag limit may be antlerless
deer taken in archery, youth or muzzleloader seasons.
The current antler point regulation (APR), that began in 2005,
is designed to protect yearling bucks from high levels of harvest.
The department believes the current APR has been successful in
increasing the number of older bucks in the deer population. Spikeantlered deer are protected except during the youth deer weekend.
A point must be one inch or longer from base to tip. The main beam
counts as a point, regardless of length.
Archery Season is October 5 to 27 and December 7 to 15.
Vermont’s archery deer hunting season offers hunters the chance
to take up to three deer with three archery licenses. No more than
one of the deer taken during archery season may be a legal buck. No
antlerless deer may be taken in Wildlife Management Unit (WMU) E,
where antlerless deer hunting is prohibited in 2013.
Youth Deer Weekend will be November 9 and 10. Youth deer
hunting weekend, open to residents and nonresidents, is open
the Saturday and Sunday before the regular rifle season. Anyone,
resident or nonresident, who is fifteen years old or younger on the
weekend of the hunt and who has successfully completed a hunter
safety course may purchase a hunting license and obtain a free youth
deer hunting tag.
The young hunter must be accompanied by an unarmed adult over
18 years of age who holds a Vermont hunting license. Landowner
permission is required in order to hunt on private land during the
youth deer hunt weekend.
A young hunter who has obtained a Vermont hunting license and
youth deer tag may take one deer of either sex during youth deer
hunting weekend. The antler restriction that applies for other
Vermont deer seasons does not apply for youth deer hunting
weekend.
Rifle Season is November 16 to December 1. Vermont’s November
rifle season begins on the Saturday twelve days before Thanksgiving
and runs for sixteen consecutive days. The rifle season offers the
opportunity to enjoy north country deer hunting at its best. One
legal buck with at least one antler having two or more points may be
taken anywhere in the state during this season.
Muzzleloader Season is December 7 to 15. During the muzzleloader
season one legal buck may be taken with at least one antler having
two or more points with the muzzleloader license tag. A regular
hunting license must be purchased to get the muzzleloader license.
In addition to a legal buck, a muzzleloader hunter who received
an antlerless permit may take an antlerless deer in the Wildlife
Management Unit indicated on the permit. These permits are
scheduled to be sent to selected hunters on or before October 17.
The 2012 Vermont Deer Harvest Report, available from the Fish and
Wildlife Department’s website: www.vtfishandwildlife.com, has
a wealth of information to help plan a hunt, including the number
of deer taken in each town. Click on Hunting and Trapping and Big
Game to download a copy of the report.
Vermont’s regular hunting licenses, including a November rifle
season buck tag, still cost only $22 for residents and $100 for nonresidents. Hunters under eighteen years of age get a break at $8 for
residents and $25 for non-residents.
Hunters must have a standard hunting license in order to purchase
an add-on archery deer hunting license: $20 residents, $38 nonresidents, except that non-residents may purchase an “archery only
deer license” costing just $75.
Muzzleloader licenses are $20 for residents, $40 for non-residents,
and a regular hunting license is required first.
Licenses are quickly and easily available on Fish and Wildlife’s website
and from license agents statewide.
The 2013 Vermont Hunting, Fishing & Trapping Laws and Guide
explains all of Vermont’s hunting regulations and includes maps
showing public hunting areas. It is available on the Vermont Fish and
Wildlife website and where licenses are sold.
In Vermont you can enjoy your hunting any day of the week,
including Sundays, and all seasons are open equally for residents and
non-residents.
For more information, contact the Vermont Fish and Wildlife
Department at 802-828-1000 or email [email protected].

Death Notices
CHARLOTTE ELIZABETH (SHERMAN) BORA
Charlotte
E l i z a b e t h
(Sherman) Bora, a
native Vermonter,
fourteen-year
resident
of
Rhode
Island
and matriarch of
five generations,
passed
away
peacefully October
11, 2013 in Watch
Hill, Rhode Island,
at the age of 96.
Born on June 21,
1917 in Sheldon,
Vermont, Charlotte
grew up in Bakersfield, the daughter of Harold J.
and Julia Ayers (Barlow) Sherman. She was a proud
graduate of Brigham Academy in Bakersfield, Class of
1935.
After graduation, Charlotte moved to Burlington
where she worked as a housekeeper for several
prominent Queen City families. It was during this time
that she met Leon Joseph Bora, a chauffeur, whom she
later married in December 1943.
Together they ran a successful marina on a 200-acre
farm on Lake Champlain, where they raised their three
children, Shirley, Elton and Nancy, in a lakeside New
England farmhouse. Known as Bay Haven, and later as
Leon Bora Marine, the business was a vibrant marina,
store and snack bar at the end of Sandbar Bridge in
South Hero. Charlotte, with her signature apron, was a
fixture in the snack bar, where Island regulars came for
their morning coffee, a Burlington Free Press and her
tasty cheeseburgers and fries for lunch. At the bustling
marina, the Boras sold Johnson motors, and Lyman
and Boston Whaler boats. The Boras ran the business
until 1968, when they sold it and moved across the
cove known by her grandchildren as “Gram’s Lake” to
Mott Lane.
During this time, Charlotte was allegedly retired.
Never satisfied to sit idle, she got hired as the orchard
boss at Allenholm Farm. But her resume was not yet
complete. Always a lover of Vermont crafts, Charlotte
then took a job at a local gift shop, and volunteered
at Granny’s Attic. Throughout her life, she was an
accomplished cook who enjoyed preparing and hosting
festive holiday celebrations, especially Christmas.
Dinner was always abundant and delicious at Gram’s
table. After these meals, she would retire to her chair,
spending many hours sewing, knitting, crocheting and
embroidering gifts for her family.
She derived much joy from tending her flower and
vegetable gardens, and feeding and watching the
Vermont birds.
After Charlotte’s husband died in June 1986, her
fierce independent streak led her to get her driver’s
license at age 70. Content to motor mostly around
South Hero, Charlotte drove to senior luncheons, Mass
at Saint Rose of Lima and to get her beloved cat to the
vet.
A lifelong and devoted Catholic, Charlotte was a
member of the Saint Rose of Lima Parish and sang
in the choir. She served as the president of the South
Hero PTA. She was a member of the Happy Islanders
Homemakers Group and Home Dem. In later years, she
attended Mass at Immaculate Conception in Westerly,
Rhode Island, and made many dear friends through the
Insight Support Group, which serves blind and visually
impaired people, at the Westerly Senior Center.
Blunt and direct, those were attributes of her Vermont
heritage. Don’t expect too much sympathy from her. If
you were horribly sick, she would say, “You’ll be better
soon dear. It could be worse.” On her overall outlook,
she would say, “It’s a great life if you don’t weaken”
and “You need to stop and smell the roses.” On the
future, she would say, “Keep your eye on the prize.” If
you were feeling downtrodden, she would say, “Pick
yourself up by your bootstraps.” There was no time for
whining-- only persevering and getting through it with
hard work, determination and true grit.
To be with Charlotte, was to talk to Charlotte. She
was an incessant chatter bug who coaxed conversation
out of friends and strangers alike. Grocery store lines,
kitchen tables, doctors’ offices, it didn’t matter, you
would fall prey to her never-ending line of questioning
and need to know.
She leaves three children, Shirley (Buxton),
Charlotte’s longtime caretaker, and her husband, Scott
Coope, of Westerly, Rhode Island; son, Elton Bora and
partner, Marilyn Chase, of South Hero; and Nancy Bora
of Essex Junction. She leaves a sister, Mary Macomber
of Grand Isle; three grandchildren and their spouses,
Ann (Donlan) and Michael Adaskaveg, of California;
Deborah (Donlan) and James Varnado, of Florida; and
Timothy and Sandra Donlan, of Swanton. She also
leaves six great-grandchildren, U.S. Marine Lance Cpl.
Timothy Leon Donlan and wife Brandi; J.D., Tommy

Grand Isle County
to Participate in
Prescription Drug
Take-Back Day
In coordination with the Drug Enforcement
Administration National Prescription Drug Take-Back
Day on Saturday, October 26, from 10 am to 2 pm,
the Grand Isle County Sheriff’s Department will be
hosting three drop-off points in Grand Isle County.
The drop-off locations will be at the Alburgh Fire
Station, Grand Isle County Sheriff’s Department
located in North Hero and South Hero Rescue. This
initiative aims to provide a safe, convenient, and
responsible means of disposing of prescription drugs.
To the Editor:
Last Monday at the Grand Isle Selectboard
meeting, the Board said they were going to
interview and select the firm to design the new
fire station. They were asked how the committee
of five, who were to review the bids from the
submitting firms were chosen. Ron Bushway is
the moderator and cannot vote. He got several
calls from Rick Ryder, he is one. Ron thought
of Thomas Jagielski, because he works at IBM
and knows how the process works with the score
sheets. He wouldn’t have to explain them to him.
Ron also thought of Andy Paradee because he is on the Development Review
Board. And he thought of Carl Cobb Sr. because he is a major developer in
Grand Isle, but no longer a resident of Grand Isle or Vermont. The board
left an opening for a member of the Grand Isle Volunteer Fire Department
and Chief Bill Baron filled that spot. So, there you have it. A committee,
hand-picked by the Selectboard and most are against the building of the fire
station on the Gordon site, a non-resident and the GIVFD chief. How fair
is that? Paul Rousseau is also present at the meetings.
Then, after stating that the interviewing of the three final firms would be
held at an open meeting, they said it is now going to be done in executive
session. So, there you have it. We the voters are shut out again. The next
Selectboard meeting will be interesting. I suggest people attend on Monday,
October 21 at the Town Office.

CIDER Luncheon at Camp Ingalls
To the Editor:
A glorious month: October is spectacular! I have spent several peaceful
moments at White’s Beach-- so grateful to have this scenic beauty without
haystacks or huge rocks. I figure the new slope from the road to beach a
plus! I dare to think this may not be permanent, but the present state, pun
intended, is a gift. Thank you!

taken place at Ingalls over the summer and fall months, this was
the first time that members of the committee held a luncheon. The
CIDER buses arrived at 11:30 and were met by two of the recreation
committee members who had hot soups, sandwiches, salads, drinks
and desserts ready for the diners. It was a lovely fall day and, in
addition to the tasty food, good conversation took place. The
luncheon was such a success that plans are underway for another

Isle La Motte Elementary Celebrates
National Walk and Bike to School Day
Isle La Motte Elementary School joined more than 4,149 events from around the country; 52 in Vermont to
celebrate National Walk and Bike to School Day on October 9, 2013.
Approximately 96% of our students: Pre-K thru 6th grade, along with the principal, teachers, parents,
grandparents, younger siblings, former students, neighbors and friends of the community, town officials: Isle
La Motte Town Clerk, Isle La Motte Select Board Member, and family pets came together to walk and roll to
school.
The event began at 7:15 am with all participants gathered at the Isle La Motte Fire Station. Walkers and
bicyclists reviewed safe pedestrian and bike safety rules before they departed the Fire Station for their .7 mile
“safe route to school”. Upon arrival to the Isle La Motte Elementary School, walkers and bikers were greeted
by a very respectful and supportive crowd including a surprise guest: Steve Minecraft. Some of Isle La Motte’s
own “Super Seniors” were holding signs while others were cheering, and honking horns. The celebration
continued while participants enjoyed a delicious continental breakfast made by Chef Lisa.
Walk to School events work to create safer routes for walking and bicycling and emphasize the importance
of issues such as increasing physical activity among children, pedestrian safety, traffic congestion, concern for
the environment and building connections between families, schools and the broader community.
Isle La Motte Elementary School is one of seventy school partners with the Vermont Safe Routes to School
program and the only “platinum” partner in the state. Organizers would like to thank everyone for making
walking and biking safe on Isle La Motte.
Transportation Solutions to be Discussed
to Address Congestion and Safety Issues
at Exit 17
On Tuesday, October 22, at 6:30 pm, at the Colchester Meeting House at 830 Main Street, learn
about proposed alternatives to address congestion and safety issues at Exit 17 and the Exit 17
Scoping Study, available at http://www.ccrpcvt.org/exit17). This meeting is hosted by the Colchester
Selectboard.
The Exit 17 Scoping Study has analyzed the operation and safety of the Interstate 89 Exit 17
interchange and connecting highways. Options have been developed to provide a safe and efficient
connection between the interstate and highway systems while also accommodating future travel
demand. Possible alternatives have been created with an eye toward improving safety for all users,
reducing congestion, and enhancing access to and from the Interstate. The study area includes the
Exit 17 interchange and the intersection of US Routes 2 and 7.
The Study is funded by the Chittenden County Regional Planning Commission (CCRPC) and the Towns
of Colchester and Milton.
All are welcome and encouraged to attend. In accordance with provisions of the Americans with
Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, the CCRPC and Town of Colchester will ensure that public meeting sites
are accessible to people with disabilities. Requests for free interpretive or translation services, assistive
devices, or other accommodations should be made to Emma Long, CCRPC Title VI Coordinator, at
802-846-4490 ext. 21, or 711 for Telecommunications Relay Services, or [email protected], at least

What nice weather we’ve been having. It is
mid-October and the temperature is way above
normal! We can’t hope to be this lucky much
longer. I did read an item this past week that
Alaska is extremely warm. The ground is so
warm that the trees are leaning over and house
foundations are caving in. So, who knows, it
might stay warm here; we’ve been having crazy
weather for the last few years.

Deadline Approaching
for
2014 Watershed Grant
Applications
Applications are available for the 2014 Vermont
Watershed Grants Program to fund projects that help
Vermonters protect, restore and enjoy the state’s
watersheds. Applications are due to the Vermont
Watershed Grants office by Friday, November 22.
“Watershed grants are available to municipalities,
local or regional governmental agencies, non-profit
organizations, and water-related citizen groups,”
said Rick Hopkins of the Vermont Department of
Environmental Conservation (VTDEC). “Watershed
grants can be awarded for many types of watershed
projects, including those that protect or restore water
quality, shorelines or fish and wildlife habitats.”
“In light of the damage and lessons learned from
Tropical Storm Irene and other recent Vermont
floods, plus our ongoing efforts to better manage
runoff containing nutrients and sediment, we are
very interested in projects that implement practical
measures or involve education affecting stream
habitat protection, restoration, flood resiliency and
related topics,” added Hopkins.
Rod Wentworth, of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife
Department, explained that watershed grants
provide a way for local people to make a difference.
“This program, now in its 16th year, is a great
opportunity for sporting clubs or watershed groups
to undertake a project to help their local stream
or lake, such as planting trees or developing a
watershed conservation plan or outreach program,”
said Wentworth. “Many Vermont rivers sustained
damage as a result of recent floods and in some
cases the recovery work that followed. The more we
can do to spread the word about best practices for
flood remediation and better runoff management,
the better.”
Vermont Watershed Grants Program is a joint project
of the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department and
VTDEC. The program is funded by sales of the Vermont
Conservation License Plate. The program has funded
close to 320 watershed projects statewide since 1998.
For the 2014 program, $100,000 is available to fund
three categories of projects. The three categories of
project types and the maximum amount for each
project type are: education and outreach- $7,500,
planning, assessment, inventory, monitoring- $5,000
and on-the-ground implementation- $15,000.
“When Vermonters purchase a Conservation License
Plate they’re helping protect healthy streams and
lakes as well as conserving wildlife and important
habitats for future generations,” said Fish & Wildlife
Commissioner Patrick Berry. “Proceeds from the sale
of Conservation License Plates fund the Watershed
Grants program and help support the Fish & Wildlife
Department’s Non-game Wildlife Fund.”
The Watershed Grants application guide and
application forms are available on the web at:
www.anr.state.vt.us/dec/waterq/lakes/htm/lp_
watershedgrants.htm
Applications
for
the
Vermont
Conservation

Friday morning, and we hope to be back to our regular schedule by Friday.
Please try and make sure your kiddos get a good night’s rest and a hearty
breakfast. Testing week can be stressful, as it offers an environment very
different from the regular classroom. Please let us know if we can support
in defusing this anxiety in any way.
We will have a break from testing on Thursday afternoon. A group called
The NED Show will be visiting at 1 pm. This group offers a positive behavior
presentation, which you can see highlights of on youtube.com. The show is
free for us, which is great. The drawback for having a free show is that NED
will have a table to sell their wares on Friday and Monday. Do you have any
interest in learning the yo-yo?
We would like to thank Marisa Ward for volunteering her time to support
our library classes. If you are interested in volunteering please contact me.
We would like to activate more friends interested in getting involved.
The Golden Eagles Soccer Club had another international friendly on
Thursday. They came away with a 2-2 tie. Girl of the match was Breanna
Wright, who saved the day with a bicycle kick goal as time in regulation
expired to gain the tie score.

Grades one and two are working on the solar system in science. If you know a 1st or 2nd grader ask
them about the different characteristics of the planets, why we have day and night, and what is this
orbit thing all about?
Third and fourth grade is starting a social studies unit about the diverse history of our beautiful
state, and how we all got here. This is an exciting unit that begins with a look at our own unique
cultures.

Antlerless Deer Permits To Be Sent in Late October
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department says it will be mailing out Vermont antlerless hunting permits for the December muzzleloader season late in
October. The department also says it has some permits available in southwestern Vermont that be purchased on a first-come-first serve basis.
“Hunters who drew an antlerless permit in the lottery drawing posted on our website are wondering when they will receive their permits,” said Fish &
Wildlife’s Director of Wildlife, Mark Scott. “We plan on mailing those permits, which are on orange post cards, late in October.”
“We also want to let people know some antlerless permits are still available in Wildlife Management Units K-1, K-2, and N in southwestern Vermont
where not enough people applied for the permits in the lottery.”
These permits can be purchased on the department’s website: www.vtfishandwildlife.com, and printed at home.

Vermont Quit Partners
and Community Health
Teams are Available
Statewide
Tobacco is the single largest preventable cause of
disease and premature death in the US, but about 95,000
Vermonters smoke cigarettes and 800 Vermonters die
each year from tobacco-related diseases. In 2011, 55% of
all Vermont smokers, totaling 53,000 people, attempted
to quit. Studies have shown that success rates for quitting
nearly double when traditional methods, like medicine,
are combined with in-person counseling and support.
Vermont Quit Partners is the in-person counseling option
for those who are looking to quit tobacco.
Offered by The Vermont Department of Health
Quit Network, Vermont Quit partners is a statewide
network that includes fifty Quit Partners and fifteen
community health teams. Quit Partner, Chari Andersen,
of Northwestern Medical Center serves the Franklin and
Grand Isle area. Andersen invests her time in helping
Franklin Grand Isle citizens improve their life, health and
overall wellbeing in weekly group cessation classes, which
assist participants in preparing to stop using tobacco and
support them after they quit.
“I feel fortunate to be able to provide people with
all the resources they need to succeed on their quit
journey,” said Andersen.
Andersen has counseled
approximately
850
Vermont tobacco users
during her two years as a
Quit Partner. Her group
cessation
meetings
cover a territory from
Richford to South Hero.
In her experience,
Andersen
shares,
Chari Anderson
“Successful quitters feel very accomplished and feel a
new sense of well-being. Their increased energy levels
and overall improved health are an obvious benefit to
them.”
The Vermont Quit Partners not only provides a forum
for peer support and encouragement but also provides
tools such as distraction putty, pedometers and free
nicotine replacement therapy, including gum, patches or
lozenges, to program participants.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, the majority of cigarette smokers quit without
using evidence-based cessation treatments. However, quit
counseling and treatments with more person-to-person
contact and intensity are proven effective for smokers
who want help to quit, particularly when combined with
nicotine replacement therapy or other medication.
The Vermont Quit Partners is a team of people in
communities across Vermont devoted to providing
support and motivation to help Vermont tobacco users
through the quitting process. To find a Quit Partner
near you and learn about other ways to quit, go to

Big Fix Fall Construction
Begins on the Colchester Causeway
Work on the Island Line Trail/Colchester Causeway and Ferry Docks at ‘The Cut’
starts Tuesday, October 15. During October and November, construction crews
will widen the Trail near ‘The Cut’ and begin building new Bike Ferry docking and
landing systems. Construction vehicles will be coming in from both the Colchester
side at Mills Point Road and the South Hero side at Martin Road. The project will
be completed in the spring of 2014.
The Causeway on the South Hero side will be closed to the public Tuesday through
Friday, October to 18, and for most weekdays for the rest of October and into
November. Flaggers will be directing traffic at times. However, the trail will be
open every weekend.

The 7/8 boys Grand Isle third annual Soccer Invitational 2013 was held on Saturday
October 5th at the Grand Isle School pitch. The participants were host Grand Isle
School, Folsom School, Fairfield 7, Fairfield 8 and Georgia. It was a long day of soccer
with eight games played over seven hours. The Folsom boys from South Hero were
undefeated, winning all four of their matches. The highlight was a gritty overtime
win over Georgia in the semifinal which Folsom won by scoring on three penalty
kicks by Patrick O’Hara, Oliver Kowalewitz and Quinn Pidgeon to Georgia’s 2. The
Folsom boys defeated Fairfax 8 in the final 3-1. Fairfax 8 placed second and Georgia
third. Kudos to Folsom coach Jim Bellinghiri, Folsom’s Patrick O’Hara for scoring
eight goals in four games and to Melissa Estus and all the Grand Isle sports boosters
and parents for hosting a fantastic tournament on a beautiful day.
