Facing a heating crisis? Help is available starting Nov 30
WESTMINSTER, Vt. - Holiday
cheer, time with family, skiing and
other winter sports, a nice cup of hot
cocoa….these are a few of the things
many of us look forward to each winter. But to so many of our neighbors,
winter is associated with things like
never feeling warm enough, sickness,
and constant worry about how to pay
for their next fuel delivery. Thanks to
SEVCA’s Crisis Fuel Program, Windham and Windsor County households that find themselves facing a
home heating crisis this winter have
somewhere to turn. “We’re here to help! Anyone facing a
heating emergency should contact us,”
said Pat Burke, Director of SEVCA’s
Family Services Program. “We would
also urge people who generally have
difficulty paying their heating bills to
apply for the Seasonal Fuel program
as soon as possible, especially since
most households need to receive Seasonal Fuel assistance before they are
eligible for the Crisis Fuel program.” To be eligible for Crisis Fuel assistance, households must have had extenuating circumstances that led to
the heating emergency and income at
or below 200% of the Federal Poverty
Level (FPL), which is based on household size; e.g., $4,042/month (gross)
for a family of four. Two years ago the
state introduced the provision that
income-eligible households must first
apply for and receive Seasonal Fuel assistance before they can be considered
for Crisis Fuel. Income eligibility is
tighter for Seasonal Fuel—limits are
set at 185% of FPL instead of 200%-so households between 185% and
200% FPL are eligible for Crisis Fuel
without having to apply for Seasonal
Fuel assistance.
Generally, only one Crisis Fuel assist is provided per household, per
year. However, for the past two winters, the state had to find extra money
for a “Special Warmth Fund” because
there were simply too many people
at risk of being without heat. Even
so, the number of Crisis Fuel assists
SEVCA was able to provide last winter dropped 27% from the previous
year because of reduced funding and
tighter restrictions, and we were only
able to help around 65% of the households that applied. To help bridge the
gap between what is covered by the
state’s Crisis Fuel program and what is
needed by a particular family in crisis,
SEVCA raises money through grants
and donations. To help keep low-income families warm this winter, individuals may donate to our “Share the
Warmth” fund online at http://www.
sevca.org/share-the-warmth <http://
www.sevca.org/share-the-warmth> .
Checks may also be sent to 91 Buck
Drive, Westminster, VT 05158. Crisis Fuel Assistance is available
from November 30 to sometime in
April. To apply, call SEVCA at (800)
464-9951 between 8 a.m. and 4:30
p.m. Monday – Friday to schedule
an appointment. Applicants must
bring paystubs or other proof of income, know how much fuel is left in
their tank (if oil heat), and provide
information about their fuel dealer.
SEVCA can also help homeowners
whose furnaces stop working or are
unsafe by arranging an emergency
furnace repair or replacement. To apply for Seasonal Fuel, apply online at
www.mybenefits.vt.gov <http://www.
mybenefits.vt.gov> or call (800) 4796151. This is also the number to call
for Crisis Fuel Assistance on weekends and holidays, and for furnace
repair or replacement assistance on
weekends, holidays, or for after-hours
emergencies. Burke suggests that households
check their fuel level regularly to avoid
a situation where even Crisis Fuel
can’t help them. “Don’t wait until you
run out of fuel,” she cautions. “We try
to see people as soon as possible, but
it could take a few days, and we don’t
want people to be in stuck with no
heat at all.” The program also can’t pay
for an off-route delivery charge, which
can be very expensive. Southeastern Vermont Community Services, 3SquaresVT (Food Stamp) Savings Accounts, Job Readiness, Tax
Action (SEVCA) was established in Outreach, Weatherization, Home Preparation Assistance, Thrift Stores,
1965 as part
of the national
War on Poverty to address
the needs of
low-income
residents
of
Windham
and
Windsor Counties.
In addition to
providing the
“safety net” for
households in
financial crisis, its services
help them stabilize
their
lives,
make
their
homes
safe and energy-efficient,
take
strides
toward becoming self-reliant,
and
enable
their children SEVCA was founded on the belief that poverty need not be a permanent condition, that: people can be empowered

Executive Director Alex Stradling,
the Bellow Falls local access channel
is now live streaming many meetings
and will be expanding its coverage
in the near future. Stradling said,
“People can go to our website www.
fact8.com and watch meetings and
other events as they happen. Cur-
rently Rockingham, Bellows Falls
and merger meetings are being livestreamed and by the end of the year
we expect to cover 75% of the meetings live via the internet or through
our website.” Stradling continued,
“Public Access in Southern Vermont
is very important as we don’t have local stations like WMUR or WCAX in
our region.”
Two new programs can now be
seen live on Wednesday mornings
from 7:30 to 9:30 p.m. on FACTTV.
“The “Feed” features local events, a
recap of local meetings and an opportunity for area residents to share
topics they would like to see covered.
“Hollywood and Hurricanes” is a
venue for the discussion of professional, college and local sports by
Joey Powers and Chris Cobb. According to Powers, coverage of local
sports will begin in earnest in early
December. Marty Gallagher starts
the Wednesday morning show with
warm-up exercises. The frequency of
these programs will increase in the
coming months.
A far as freedom of speech on the
“The Feed” is concerned Stradling
said, “While we’re aware of liability,
we don’t gate keep; if someone wants
to make a political comment or satire
they have the right to do so. If someone threatens to murder someone
well…” The station covers meetings
in Westminster, Grafton, Athens,
Brookline, Saxtons River and Rockingham. Straddling emphasized,

“Cable companies are mandated to
provide local television access by
federal and state law revenue. This is
your station and residents have the
right to public access, usage of equipment, training and having a forum
to get their message out; the people
own this station. Area residents can
even make up their own program.”
Some of the classes currently offered to the public at the station are a
“Film Crash Course” where one can
learn how to use a camera, frame a
shot, light a scene and edit a video
project. “Intro to Television” helps
students think like a television producer and “Advanced Editing” is offered for those who want to become
a better video editor.
When I asked camera man Joey
Powers what it’s like to cover local
town meetings, he said after a brief
hesitation, “Entertaining.”

Windham County Sheriff Keith Clark presents new incarceration
facility
BY JOEL SLUTSKY
The Shopper
BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. – An overflow crowd at the Rockingham Town
Hall Lower Theatre witnessed a presentation by Windham County Sheriff Keith Clark on November 24th
regarding the purchase and renovation of the former Liberty Building
on Paper Mill Road in Bellows Falls.
Clark’s primary goal for the facility
is to incorporate a new approach to
incarceration. The 23 million dollar renovation project is expected
to be completed in about 24 months
pending receipt of grants. According to Clark, the expectation is that
63 jobs will be created. The major
income source will be the housing
of up to 100 males and 20 females.
Vermont is currently paying $71.00
a day per bed for prison space out
of the area including Kentucky and
Arizona. When completed, the center will house up to 60 federal and
state pretrial detainees. A private
company would renovate and build
the new facility. Clark said the sheriff ’s department would lease the justice center providing an estimated
$200,000 in additional tax revenues.
According to background information from the Windham County
Sheriff ’s Office the Vermont Department of Corrections became responsible for jail operations through the
regional correctional facility system
effective April 1, 1969. Since 1969,
Vermont has seen a 50% increase in
general population, a steady increase
in criminal activity, increased cost
for correction, decrease in available
bed space and the need to utilize
contracted prisons to meet the needs
of the state. The increase costs, limited bed space options, and the need
to keep the community safe via nontraditional methods prompted the
advocating of this proposal.
Clark said the justice center would
serve the four southern Vermont
counties and address problems including the high number of people
entering the legal system, 75% of
whom are classified as non-violent

offenders. The facility would also address the lack of transitional housing
for inmates being released back into
the community. Because of an electric monitoring center, the justice
center would be a secure facility.
Among the expected benefits of
the center would be improved public safety, reduction in recidivism,
family case management, veteran’s
assistance as well as increased access
to healthcare, mental health and substance abuse treatment. According to
Clark the current correctional system does not work and we are “way
behind European models.” He continued, “the longer one is incarcerated, the higher the recidivism rate.”
In response to concerns expressed
from the Selectboard and Trustees
concerning the possible takeover of
the Bellows Falls Police Department,
Clark said he had no plans to do so.
After the presentation a spirited
question and answer period took
place that primarily focused on the

center’s impact on area safety
and the possibility of bringing the
proposed construction to a vote.
Selectboard member Josh Hearne
asked that if the overlying sentiment in the town and village was
in opposition to this project would
the sheriff reconsider. Clark said,
“Only if I was given well researched
reasons why this construction
should not take place would I rethink the project,” adding that, input he received so far has been positive. According to Bellows Falls
resident Jill James, “I cannot think
you would support a facility like
this without putting it to a vote. We
are the ones who are going to have
to deal with the consequences of
this.” Bellows Falls Village Trustee
Ann DeBernardo commented,
“You are calling this a justice center while other people are calling
it a jail or a detention center. Some
people are concerned that Bellows
Falls, if this comes, will be known
as a prison town.”
Regarding a potential vote, Municipal Manager Chip Stearns said,
“The justice center is treated as a
private enterprise development
and it only has to go through a
vetting process that’s required for
zoning; the Village of Bellow Falls
and the Town of Rockingham are
not required to approve a company
moving into our area, otherwise
Chroma would have required a
public vote.”
Any questions about this proposed facility can be directed to
Sheriff Clark at justicecenter@
windhamvt.gov and comments will
be posted. There will be several
more public hearings on this topic.
The meeting can be reviewed
in its entirety at rockbf.org and

Exploring Gratitude
SPRINGFIELD, Vt. - As you walk
into Union Street School, two large
“Gratitude Trees” welcome you with
white lights gleaming. The branches
are chock full with student-decorated ornaments. Each ornament is
filled with the written word of what
each child personally feels gratitude
for in their life. You won’t find many
“technology” items, instead you’ll
read heartfelt and genuine words
like; family, friends, food, air, life,
home, a roof over my head. The
ornaments were a closure to many
weeks of exploring being filled
with real gratitude and what that
meant to each individual.
During classroom guidance,
Mrs. Rounds began with the
reading of Shel Silverstein’s book,
“The Giving Tree”. Afterwards,
there was student led discussions on perceptions of what the
author’s words and illustrations
brought up for each us. Going
outside and meeting a few tree’s
that were planted in front of the
school in 1952 (when Union
Street School first opened) and
hearing the tree’s personal history
passed down by word of mouth
from teacher to teacher. Music
was tied into the lesson by listening to the group The Plain White
T’s song, “The Giving Tree”,
thoughts from the tree’s perspective. Fourth grade teacher, Ms.
Semel said, “My students were
so proud to hang their gratitude
ornaments together as a class”.
The lesson was to “plant the seed”
of gratitude as we head into the
holiday season.
Fifth graders from Ms. Sylvester’s class are (from L to R) Katie, Brennen and Olivia placing their ornament’s on the Gratitude Tree.

the Springfield Lodge presented
the Springfield Family Center with
a check for $2,000 and the Springfield Youth football program with
an additional $500. These awards
state, VPIRG is part of a new group,
called Energy Independent Vermont
that has been advocating for a Carbon Pollution Tax. Such a measure,
H. 395, has been introduced in the
Vermont Legislature. Its sponsors
include Brattleboro’s Mollie Burke
who we’ve invited to attend the Café
presentation.
As might be expected, the tax is
controversial. In addition to its positive impact on a warming planet, advocates of the proposed legislation
maintain that it would offset cost
increases through the establishment
of an Energy Independence Fund
to help Vermonters finance energyefficiency measures. The current
proposal includes a one percentage
point reduction in the state sales tax,
and is essentially revenue neutral.
The proposal from Energy Independent Vermont would impose a
tax on fossil fuel distributors – anywhere from 45 cents per gallon to
$1.35 per gallon for gasoline, for
instance – and phase the surcharge
in over 10 years. A portion of the
money would be invested in energy
efficiency projects; the remainder
would go to individuals and businesses in the form of refundable tax
credits.
Opponents of the measure fear
damage to the state’s economy, and
that such a tax will add to rising
commuter costs for working Vermonters. Governor Shumlin has
pointed out how many Vermonters
who live near New Hampshire might
very easily go there to gas up their
cars in order to avoid the tax. However, a recent study by REMI (Regional Economic Models Inc.) predicts significant economic stimulus
as a result of a carefully structured
tax on carbon.

Laser Periodontal Therapy
Laser Periodontal Therapy™ is a laser-based
approach to gum disease using an Nd:YAG free
running pulsed laser requiring many has been
specific knowledge and skills drawn from the whole
of dentistry. To you the patient this means: less pain,
less bleeding, less swelling, less tissue removed, less
down time, and less recovery time which is decidedly
less costly to you and your employer. The reasons
we use Laser Periodontal Therapy™ are to: remove
only the diseased tissue without removing any of
the healthy tissue, maintain the height of the tissue
around teeth, minimize pain and discomfort to the
patient, get a closure of the periodontal pocket wound
and allow healing to take place. Controlling
periodontal disease makes it possible to save and
restore otherwise hopeless involved teeth.

CHARLESTOWN, NH – Despite
the most advanced medical technology in the world, we are sicker
by nearly every measure. Two
out of every three Americans
are overweight. Cases of diabetes are exploding, especially
amongst our younger population. About half of us are
taking at least one prescription drug. Major medical operations have become routine,
helping to drive health care
costs to astronomical levels.
Heart disease, cancer and
strokes are the country’s three
leading causes of death, even
though billions are spent each
year to “battle” these very conditions. Millions suffer from
a host of other degenerative
diseases.
Could it be that there is a
solution to all our medical
problems? A solution so comprehensive, but so straightforward, that many of us haven’t
taken it seriously?

bring to the poor and malnourished
areas of the third world. While in the
Philippines, he made a life-changing
discovery: the country’s wealthier
children, who were consuming relatively high amounts of animal-based
foods, were much more likely to get
liver cancer. Dr. Esselstyn, a top surgeon and head of the Breast Cancer
Task Force at the world-renowned
Cleveland Clinic, found that many
of the diseases he routinely treated
were virtually unknown in parts of
the world where animal-based foods
were rarely consumed.
These discoveries inspired Campbell and Esselstyn, who didn’t know
each other yet, to conduct several
groundbreaking studies. One of them
took place in China and is still among
the most comprehensive health-related investigations ever undertaken.
Their research led them to a startling
conclusion: degenerative diseases like
heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and
even several forms of cancer, could
almost always be prevented—and in
many cases reversed—by adopting a
whole-foods, plant-based diet.
Despite the profound implications
of their findings, their work has remained relatively unknown to the
public. This movie aims to change
that.
Throughout the film, cameras follow “reality patients” who have chronic conditions from heart disease to
diabetes. Doctors teach these patients
how to adopt a whole-food, plantbased diet as the primary approach to
treat their ailments—while the challenges and triumphs of their journeys
are revealed.
Forks Over Knives utilizes state of

footage. The film features leading experts on health, such as Dr. T. Colin
Campbell.
“We learned that we could turn on
and turn off cancer growth just by
adjusting level of intake of sugar. We
knew at that point what was causing
most diseases,” said Dr. Campbell.

LOCAL
HISTORY
BY RON PATCH
CHESTER, Vt. - During much
of the 19th Century, horses were
the trucks of the day. Horses drew
wagons of stone, wood, sand and
gravel. The photo with this article
shows a large wagon loaded with
hemlock bark drawn by two horses.
In the photo would be Grafton
Street where the wagon had just
come. The driver stopped right
in the middle of Main Street. The
building on the left background
was Gould’s store until Nov. 18,
1971 when a gas explosion destroyed it. Today this it is Chester Hardware. The photographer
would have been standing in the
middle of Main Street near Jiffy
Mart.
In the 19th Century most towns
had a tannery. Chester had a tannery on Grafton Street and another in the Stone Village. By 1850
leather had become a big business
with tons of leather shipped to New
York and other urban populations.
After delivery to a tannery, the
hide was soaked in water until soft.
Next, hides were soaked in lime for
several days. The lime solution dissolved the hair, causing the hide to
swell. After swelling, the hides were
scraped to a uniform thickness.
The hides were then soaked in
vats of tannic acid. Hemlock bark
was the best source for tannins. In
the early days, a hide spent three
months or more curing in the bark
solution. This was a smelly operation with all solutions emptied into
a local stream.
In New England, hemlock trees
were abundant. The bark was harvested in late spring, usually April
to late May. In the spring there
is more sap in the wood, making it easier to peel the bark. I remember peeling balsam for my
father. In those days we were selling pulpwood. I don’t remember
what we were paid per cord but
we were paid more per cord if the
pulp was peeled. My job was peeling the bark. I made a cut through
the bark along the 4’ length of the
pulp. Then, with a bark spud, I
would slide the bark spud between
the inner side of the bark and the
log. If there was much moisture
in the log, the bark removed fairly
easy although it was hard work.
Knots where a limb had been cut
off slowed this procedure as I had
Drawing Hemlock Bark
In some areas, so many hemlock
trees were harvested for bark that
the trees were almost eliminated.
In many cases the hemlock logs
were left to rot in the woods, the
bark having the only value. Today
hemlock trees are again plentiful.
Robbo Holleran, a local forester,
told me that a hemlock can live 600
years.
Older natives like me will remember the dialect of our grandparents’ generation. Today we
would say “I hauled two loads of
wood today.” My grandfather’s generation said “I drawed two loads of
wood today.” That is why I chose
“Drawing Hemlock Bark” as a title
for this story.
The photo with this article is one
of 17 photos in the 2016 Chester
Historical Society calendar. The
calendars are available for $10 at:
The Framery of Vermont, Salon
2000, Chester Town Hall, Erskines
Feed Store, Lisai’s Market, Stone
House Antiques Center, Bargain
Corner, Vintage Vermont Antiques, and Misty Valley Books. I
understand the calendars are almost sold out so hurry if you want
one.
Instead of an old saying I offer
a useful tip if you have rusty iron.
Take a pail of hemlock mulch and
put it in a washtub of water. After
a couple days place the tub with
rusty iron on a fire and boil for
several hours. It works well cleaning iron and turns it a nice shade
of black.

to cut around them. I include this
memory to give you an idea how
hemlock bark was harvested.
The bark was cut in 4 foot
lengths and stacked with the outer
bark facing the ground. With the
inner side facing up and exposed
to the air, the bark dried quickly.
Once the bark was dry, it was loaded onto wagons as you see in this
photo and delivered to a tannery to
be sold.
The bark was then ground or
shredded and placed in hot-water
vats. It took about four days for the
tannins to leach out of the bark.
The tanning solution was then circulated through the tanning vats.
After the bark was used it was dried
and used for fuel to heat the vats.

editorial
We saved the second
amendment
For weeks now, the topic of gun ownership has been in the news. Should
we have them; do we readily need them and who will protect us if we don’t
have them?
Finally we have a vote----A 53-46 vote!!!! The U.N. Resolution 2117 lists 21
points dealing with firearms control, but the best interest point is number 11.
It calls for member states to support weapons collection and the disbarments
of all UN countries.
By a 53-46 vote the U.S. Senate voted against the U.N. Resolution!!! The
best news that I have heard this week!!!
In a 53-46 vote, the Senate narrowly passed a measure that will stop the
United States from joining into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty! The
language of the purpose from the senate reads: To uphold the second amendment rights and prevent the United States from entering into the United Nations Arms Trade Treaty.
The U.N. Small Arms Treaty, which has been championed by the Obama
Administration, would have effectively placed a global ban on the import and
export of small firearms. The ban would have affected all private gun owners
in Vermont and New Hampshire and the United States and had language that
would have implemented an international gun registry. I mean, all private
guns and ammo.
The worse part of this is that 46 of our UNITED STATES SENATORS
were willing to give Constitutional rights to a foreign power!!!! 46 of them
are Democrats and two are Independents. Senator Sanders voted against the
bill. Thanks you Bernie!!

Letters to the Editor
To the Editor:
The Western world has to go into
Syria and Iraq to eliminate ISIS. ISIS
has established a caliphate, and if we
destroy it in Syria and Iraq its tentacles in other countries will hopefully
tend to wither away. The Islamic terrorists in Europe take their instructions from ISIS in Syria, and maybe
we can draw the terrorists in other
parts of the world back to Syria where
they can be eliminated.
We cannot continue with limited
air strikes and tepid ground action
against ISIS, because contrary to President Obama, ISIS is not a “contained
JV” organization. Unfortunately, the
West (U.S., Great Britain, France, etc.)
and some Arab countries have to put
together a coalition for a large-scale
military operation against ISIS. This
could require tens of thousands of
ground troops, armor units and air
forces to annihilate ISIS.
The White House does not under-
stand the serious threat ISIS poses to
the free world. We cannot continue
with a piece meal approach to an enemy that is growing and wants to destroy us.

Rand Paul is the only candidate who

who can be counted upon to oppose

lion youth who had never smoked a
cigarette used e-cigarettes.
The new survey also finds that
among current adult cigarette smokers who had tried to quit smoking in
the past year, one in five (20.3 percent) were current e-cigarette users.
This does not tell us whether e-cigarettes are effective at helping cigarette
smokers quit. But it does point out
the importance of FDA regulation to
determine whether e-cigarettes are
effective at helping cigarette smokers
quit and, equally important, to provide cigarette smokers accurate information about which e-cigarettes
are most effective at doing so.
The use of e-cigarettes by kids and
young adults has come as e-cigarettes have been widely marketed
using the same tactics once used to
glamorize regular cigarettes, including celebrity endorsements, slick
TV ads, and sponsorships of race
cars and concerts. E-cigarettes are
also sold in a wide variety of youthfriendly flavors such as cotton candy
and gummy bear.
If there is a public health benefit
to the emergence of e-cigarettes, it
will come only if they are effective at
helping smokers stop using cigarettes
completely and if they are marketed
so they do not re-glamorize smoking among young people. Effective
FDA oversight is critical to achieving
these goals. The FDA last week sent
the White House a long-overdue final rule for review. It is critical that
the White House issue this rule without further delay.

and Drug Administration regulation
of e-cigarettes to ensure cigarette
smokers have accurate information
about them and prevent non-smokers from using them.
Conducted in 2014, the survey
finds that 12.6 percent of adults
had ever tried an e-cigarette and 3.7
percent of adults currently used ecigarettes. Current cigarette smokers
and recent former smokers were the
most likely to use e-cigarettes.
The survey’s most alarming finding is that nearly 10 percent of 18 to
24 year olds who have never smoked
cigarettes had tried an e-cigarette.
This finding raises concerns that
e-cigarettes may be introducing a
generation of young non-smokers
to nicotine addiction. It follows
other recent surveys that found pastmonth use of e-cigarettes among
high school students tripled from
2013 to 2014, to 13.4 percent, and
that in 2013, over a quarter of a mil-

Bellows Falls Front Porch races a success
BY BILL MURPHY
BELLOWS FALLS, Vt. Plans are already in motion
by Bill Murphy
for the Third Annual Front
Porch Half Marathon in
Bellows Falls next October.
The organizers are hoping all running enthusiasts
throughout the Northeast
will circle their calendars
for the 2016 race, which
they hope will be bigger
and better than ever. The
excitement takes place on
Saturday, October 1st, next
time around.
In speaking to Morgan
Potter, the spokesperson
for the trio, who head the
event, Morgan said, “Our
goal is to create a positive
and encouraging event for
Vermont and out of state
runners to be able to explore and enjoy our community.”
Potter went on to say,
“Many people work hard
each year to make the day
successful and our hopes are
to be able to raise enough
money to benefit local drug
prevention efforts, with the
priority to target juvenile
health and raising awareness of the risks of drug use.”
Potter told us that the race
came about, after back and
forth discussions with her
running partner, Jen Moore
and her own husband Jeff,
over a period of time. She
said the day features two
races, the Half Marathon “a
good distance” and a shorter race (an eight miler) to
“try to attract as many runners as we can.” About 100
runners have been on board
the first two years, an excellent start-up number, with
hopes of bigger and better
things to come.
Former BF Terrier tennis player Tim Blicharz, of
Charlestown, Mass., literally ran away with the Half
Marathon this year, besting
the field by almost fifteen
minutes ahead of third place
holder Anna Lipinska and
that is where the real fun and
the pack began. The remainder of the Top Ten (runners
three thru ten) were bunched
the Inaugural Half marathon

return. “I wanted to better my
time and hopefully keep up

were ahead of me last year,” he
The New England Patriots undefeated season went down the drain late
Sunday Night, when a muffed punt return, opened the floodgates, and the
Denver Broncos took advantage and eventually won the game. The truth IS
though, that the incredible number of injuries the team has suffered, IS the
real reason, the Patriots lost their way.
That injury bug IS scaring me about the future of the National Football
League. The way those guys keep getting bigger and stronger and hitting each
other harder and harder is setting up even more disabling possibilities and
even now, just about every team in the league has lost more than their share
of players to injuries. It is difficult to figure out how to, in anyway, limit these
injuries going forward.
There is one injury waiting to happen, that won’t happen in Vermont. That
is injury in Field Hockey because boys are bigger and stronger and cause
injury to their female players. Believe it or not, this IS happening in Massachusetts.
Teams are winning games because of male participants and a way too large
number of female competitors is getting injured in competition with the boys
that are playing. Why someone does not stand up and say enough is beyond
me. Some schools cancel games with teams with boys on their roster and
tempers are getting short in many cases. One of the biggest problems is that
Massachusetts decided not to follow National Federation rules in the sport.
In a sense, Vermont has gone there and done that. There was a challenge
of male participation in field hockey here in the 1980’s and those who govern
Vermont sports won a court case, allowing the sport to be a girls offering
only. For safety purposes, the Green Mountain state was ahead of its times.
REALIGNMENT- Both Vermont and New Hampshire presently align and
realign sports in a two year cycle. In what people my age call, the old days,
teams were pretty much stuck in their divisions for close to forever, BUT
now, many teams swing back and forth between divisions in different sports,
possibly changing every cycle. The system is loose to a degree and depending
upon the sport, there may be a different number of divisions in some sports
because fewer schools participate in the sport.
All the alignments are number driven, BUT more numbers than it is easy

gowns, jewelry, evening bags, and
other elaborate accessories typical
of this stylish era. Because of the
fragile nature of the textiles, it will
be many years before these items
are back on display.

River Theater Company
presents ‘The Best
Christmas Pageant Ever’
CHARLESTOWN, N.H. - Saturday, Dec. 5 at 7 pm; Sunday,
Dec. 6 at 2 p.m.; on the second
floor at the Charlestown Town
Hall.
Based on the hilarious children’s
book by Barbara Robinson, this
Christmas pageant is no ordinary
story of the birth of Christ. The
local terrors, the Herdman kids,
“the worst kids in the whole history of the world,” have found starring roles in the play, and no one
is really sure if the play will even
happen! But Christmas miracles
can happen...even when the fire
department has to be called to the
final dress rehearsal!
Veteran directors Theresa Norman and Heidi Fagan have assembled a cast of 30-plus local
adults and children to bring this
riotous holiday comedy to life.
“I’ve directed the show before,
and it’s definitely one of my favor-
ites,”
says Fagan, adding, “Every
cast brings something new to the
play and it never fails to make me
laugh and cry. I loved the story as
a kid, and as an adult I can totally
identify with the mother, Grace, in
her attempts to pull off a memorable production despite enormous
odds....I’m just thankful that I’ve
never had a cast of actual Herdmans!”
Funny, touching and a great reminder of what Christmas is really
about, the ‘Best Christmas Pageant
Ever’ is a short and hilarious show to
enjoy with all ages.
Tickets are $5 general admission
and can be reserved by calling 603236-9135, or at the box office on
the 2nd floor one half hour before
the show. Don’t miss this family fun
performance! (Please note: the 2nd
floor of the Town Hall is not handicap accessible yet, and the only access is a staircase.)

Townsend Community Concert
a success
TOWNSEND, Vt. - On Saturday, Nov. 21, the Community Hope & Action group put
on its second community supper and concert of this year’s
community concert series. The
event was held at the Townshend Town Hall and many folks
came out to enjoy dinner, music and good company.
This month’s dinner was a
Chili cook-off and contestants
came early to deliver their
steaming pots of chili as well as
cornbread, corn casserole and
desserts. There were ten official
contestants in the cook-off. After dinner, while enjoying coffee and treats, everyone took
the time to place his or her vote.
The winner was a scrumptious

organized and hosted five
free dinners that featured
concerts of local musicians
from January through May
as well as a Valentine Day
Celebration.
This year, the group was
fortunate to receive a grant
from the Vermont Arts
Council, which has provided a stipend for our local performers each month.
Traditionally, dinners have
been funded through donations. This month’s concert
was funded by Ted and Nan

In December, the group
looks forward to having a
performance by The Bondville Boys as well as a silent

Rockingham Library celebrates
Copmuter Science Week
BELLOWS FALLS, Vt.
- On Tuesday Dec. 8, the
Youth Department at the
Rockingham Free Public
Library will be celebrating
Computer Science Week, an
annual program dedicated
to inspiring K-12 students
to take interest in computer
science, with a series of introductory computer science
sessions, called “Hour of
Code.” From 3-7 p.m.
Youth Department computers and an assortment
of mobile devices will be
reserved for youth to try
some fun coding tutorials,
including coding programs
built around kid-favorites
like Star Wars, Frozen, and
Minecraft.
Hour of Code is intended
to help demystify coding
to show that anybody can
learn computer science basics. Created by code.org,
the Hour of Code is part of
a global movement with the
vision that all youth should
have the opportunity to learn
computer science and that
computer science and computer programming should be part
of the core curriculum in education, alongside other science,
technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) courses
such as biology, physics, chemistry and algebra.
According to the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, the need for
software developers is growing
at 22 percent, double the average for other jobs. Computer
science is one of the few STEM
fields where jobs are going unfilled, as there aren’t enough
people with the skills to do
them. Less than 2.4 percent of
college students graduate with
a degree in computer science.
The Rockingham Library
regularly provides STEM learning opportunities for youth
with Intro to Video Game Programming workshops, tinkering and hacking projects, and
many more informal learning
opportunities. The Library also
serves as a community access
point with several dedicated

“Computer science is a foundational skill for the Digital
Age and will continue to be the
fuel for economic growth. For
students, it helps develop their
critical thinking skills, and
shows them how to create, not
just use new technologies,”
says Youth Services Librarian,
Sam Maskell. “It is our hope
that the Library’s emphasis
on public technology and on
learning more about computer
science can help ensure our
community is participating in
and well-prepared for the next

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) At
this time you might want to resist that
otherwise admirable Aries penchant
for getting to the heart of a matter
quickly. Keep in mind that a delicate
situation calls for patience.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20)
Your aspects favor more diplomacy
and fewer direct confrontations when
dealing with a relationship problem.
Avoiding hurt feelings can help in
your search for the truth.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Positive aspects are strong this week.
Although you might still have to
deal with some problems caused by a
recent period of turmoil, you are making progress, and that’s what counts.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A
family matter could benefit from your
counsel. But don’t come into it unless
invited, and don’t stay if you feel
uneasy. Just remember to reassure one
and all that you’ll be there for them.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) As
the truth about an ongoing situation
emerges, you could find that you were
right to defer judgment before you had
all the facts. Now would be a good
time to move on to other matters.
VIRGO (August 23 to September 22)
Your plans to take control of a personal
situation because you feel you are best
qualified could create resentment. Best
to hear what everyone else involved in
the matter has to say about it.
LIBRA (September 23 to October
22) Uncovering some surprising background facts about that ongoing personal matter could make you reconsider the extent of your involvement. A
neutral family member offers advice.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Religious or spiritual themes
start to dominate your aspect this
week. This can serve as a counterweight to the mounting effects of the
season’s growing commercialization.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to
December 21) Taking on that recent
challenge impressed a lot of important
decision-makers. Meanwhile, proceed
with your holiday plans, and don’t forget to include you-know-who in them.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Disagreeing with an opinion you can’t accept could be dicey,
and your motives might be questioned.
Best to wait to mount a challenge until
you have support for your position.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) Getting involved in helping others in this increasingly hectic
period not only makes the generous
Aquarian feel good, but you could also
gain a more substantive benefit from
your actions.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
The Piscean way of thinking clearly
and objectively helps you resolve a
complex situation without creating
any ill will. Don’t be surprised if your
counsel is requested on another matter.
BORN THIS WEEK: You have a
way of persuading people to look at
the positive possibilities that make up
any choices they might face.

Springfield Downtown Holiday Program
SPRINGFIELD, Vt. - Friday, Dec. 4 from 4-7 p.m. - Do
you remember how magical
Christmas can feel as a child?
Springfield on the Move & the
Springfield Regional Chamber of Commerce are teaming
up again this year to make this
year’s tree lighting and arrival
of Santa spectacular and extra
special for our “little-est community members”.
Springfield’s children will
pick up a holiday sticker map
of Downtown beginning at
4:00PM and ending at 7 p.m.,
at the Springfield on the Move
(SOM) office, 6 Valley Street.
Kids will go to each location
listed on the map to receive a
holiday sticker and goodie. The
SOM office will be decorated as
Santa’s workshop where elves
will be doling out a Christmas
gift for participating in the holiday map tour.
Starting at 5:30 p.m. the
Springfield Community Band
will be caroling and handing out
caroling sheets for all to join in
and sing.
At 6 p.m. Santa will magically arrive to light the tree! His
house will be nestled in the Peoples Bank parking lot, where he
will greet all the town’s children
and give them each a present
from his sac of holiday goodies.
In addition, SOM will add
festive wreaths to all downtown storefronts and work with
downtown landlords, business-

The Vermont Journal
LUDLOW, Vt. -”The Judge”
will be the December film offering by FOLA. The movie will
be shown on Saturday, Dec. 5 at
7 p.m. at the Ludlow Town Hall
Auditorium.
This award-winning film stars
Robert Downey, Jr, and Robert
Duvall.
In Chicago, the successful and
unethical defense attorney Hank
Palmer defends scumbags since
his only interest is getting money.
Hank is divorcing and when his
mother dies, his brother Glen
calls him for the funeral and he
leaves his daughter with his wife.
He travels to his hometown,
Carlinville, Indiana, and meets
Glen, his estranged father, Judge
Joseph Palmer and his slowed
brother Dale that is obsessed for
making films. He also meets his
former sweetheart Samantha
Powell.
On the next morning, Hank
and his brothers note that their
father’s car is damaged and Hank
goes to the airport to fly back to
Chicago. When Hank is in the
plane ready to fly, he receives a
phone call from Glen telling that
their father has been accused
of hit and run and the victim is
Mark Blackwell, a despicable
man that was sentenced by Joseph Palmer after killing a teenager.
Hank returns, but his father
does not have any recollection
from the accident. Soon their unresolved issues interfere in Hank’s
line of defense and the Prosecutor Dwight Dickham wants to
see Judge Palmer behind bars to
revenge Hank’s victory in a trial
in the past. Along with the judgment, secrets are disclosed.
As with all FOLA movies,
admission is free and open to
everyone; donations are appreciated. Popcorn will be provided by
Berkshire Bank and FOLA will
offer water. For information, call
802-228-7239 or visit the web site
at www.fola.us.
