Public Input Sought on Plans for Shared Use Path in Barre

Progress continues on the design phase of a Shared Use Path between Jones Brothers Way and Granite Street in Barre. This paved path will allow bikers and walkers to travel between the Granite Museum and Depot Square, and will provide recreational opportunities as well as highlighting Barres rich history related to the granite industry and the railroad. Draft preliminary design plans were prepared by the Citys consultant, DuBois & King, Inc., and were submitted for review and comment to the City, VTrans and FHWA on November 14, 2011 under the direction of the Barre City Bike Path Committee. These plans will be presented at a Public Information Meeting on February 2, 2012 at 5:30pm at Alumni Hall (adjacent to the Barre City Auditorium). At that time, public comments and questions will be received for incorporation into the final design plans, as appropriate. Refreshments will be provided. Once public input has been incorporated into the plans, several steps will need to be completed prior to the construction of the path. A storm water permit for the path will be acquired, Right of Way documentation will be prepared, and the City will need to acquire property rights for the path from several property owners. Then, final plans and construction contract documents will be prepared so that the project may go to bid. While (portions of) the path could go to construction as early as this summer, the actual construction start will be contingent upon acquiring the necessary funding.

Whitney Maxfield, dressed in an early Civil War uniform, recently spoke to the Barre Rotary Club about Barre citizens' involvement in the Civil War. He brought family momentos dating to the mid 1800s. He also showed plans to build a memorial in the east end of Barre's City Park, to honor Barre's citizens that were in the war, including many of his ancestors. Here, Maxfield is holding up a chair his great-grandfather made in 1834 that has been passed down and used by each Maxfield generation, including his grandchildren.

By Tom Herzig There are good deals to be had at the ReStore, the not-so-little-retail-outlet-that-could located in a refurbished granite shed at 28-34 Granite Street in downtown Barre. The ReStore relies heavily on donated merchandise for its inventory and yes, there are a few metal filing cabinets that have been there a while, but dont underestimate the variety and value of the selection. Theres an ever-changing array of washers, dryers, refrigerators, furniture, computers, doors, tiles, glassware, industrial surplus material and more. In many instances, appliances and computers are sold with a warranty. Its like a constantly changing yard sale, says Barre Mayor Thomas Lauzon. I found some brand new kitchen cabinets there not long ago. There are a number of period pieces light fixtures and hard-to-find doors. Winter is a little slower for us, but we have a good selection, ReStore Manager Bryce Sammel said. We have a box truck and can help clear out a garage or basement. We only take stuff that is suitable for resale or able to be repaired and restored. In the spring and summer, we get some good yard sale items. Landlords and contractors can avoid disposal costs by donating to us, Sammel noted. Thirtyfive percent of all landfill waste is construction generated. We offer a deconstruction service where we dismantle an old or partially damaged house or barn and re-purpose the material. We took apart a 1700s barn in Plainfield and ended up with valuable hemlock beams and barn board. It costs less than paying for demolition and you can often get a tax write-off for donated beams etc. The Barre location is one of three stores oper-

ating as a part of the nonprofit community enterprise ReSource, which grew out of ReCycle North in Burlington. Several programs are flourishing within the organization, including one highly commended by Mayor Lauzon known as Central Vermont YouthBuild. Everything at ReStore is about maximizing potential, says Mayor Lauzon. The program of theirs I like the best is YouthBuild. They help out kids that want to succeed. The YouthBuild got its start in Burlington in 2004. It serves 16-24-year-old youth who have dropped out of high school and need a comprehensive development and job training opportunity. Youth are trained in construction skills while building affordable housing, and working alongside deconstruction service personnel. We do a lot of outreach, Program Manager Jesse Grieg said. The Department of Labor assists us. We work with local high schools, Vocational Rehab and the Vermont Department of Corrections. We have 12 slots and they are not all currently filled. The next deadline for enrollment is February 13. There is a stipend. The first month is a mental toughness test. You have to earn your way further into the program. Once youre in YouthBuild, youre in AmeriCorps. You fulfill their volunteer requirements as a part of your YouthBuild participation. That can possibly help you get funding for further education. Central Vermont YouthBuild students are placed in a 10-month program in a classroom scenario possibly to earn a high school diploma or G.E.D. while learning CPR, first aid and OSHA construction training. Recruitment is also word-of-mouth, Grieg said. This program is low-income specific for

Contractors like people who have been through the OSHA 30-hour training regarding power tools etc. Were a very strong partner with YouthBuild, said Carol Leech, Regional Director of VocRehab. We are a service that works with people with disabilities including youth with emotional disabilities. There are two Youth Transition counselors who work out of the Barre office. We refer back and forth with YouthBuild and share funding. They are absolutely a positive - a very valuable resource to help people get ready for employment. Weve been here three years, Sammell said. Weve installed radiant floor heating. There are 33 operational solar panels on the south face. Were striving for ways to have this facility be an asset to the community. Were finishing a performance area a suspended stage with good acoustics to accommodate live music, film showings, artists. Students from several area schools will be building a larger garden space with raised beds and seating with free wi-fi. We want to provide a place where people are coming to be. The ReStore is open Tuesday-Saturday from 9:30 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. For additional information about the Central Vermont YouthBuild program or a list of donation guidelines, call 477-7800 or visit the web site www.resourcevt.com.

The team was just as great as the last time. Thanks to everyone! Almost three years ago CVMC celebrated with Scott, one of our Hospitalists, and Laura Nelson the arrival of Wyatt, their rst born. What a wonderful surprise to walk into the room and nd that very young man cuddling his newborn brother, Asa James Nelson. Tall and sweet and cuter than words can express, Wyatt is a very condent big brother and quite the ham in front of a camera! He introduced us to little Asa who arrived on January 22 and weighed 7lb/11oz. He is 21.5 inches long and beautiful guaranteed to meet the standard set by his big brother. We were absolutely captivated by these two beautiful children and it appears that mom and dad are too! CVMC congratulates and again celebrates this happy family. It is wonderful to watch the CVMC family grow. The Nelsons live in Burlington. We wish them all the best!

Montpelier, VT: Lost Nation Theater, presents CAGES-A LIVE MEMOIR by Donny Osman, Feb 2-5 at WINTERFEST 2012 City Hall Arts Center, in downtown Montpelier. I am a former young person And so begins Donny Osmans new autobiographical drama: CAGES-A LIVE MEMOIR. CAGES, Feb 2-5, jumpstarts Lost Nation Theaters Winterfest 2012 at Montpelier City Hall Arts Center. Winterfest 2012 runs through Feb 26 and showcases the best Vermont Drama, Music, Comedy, and Dance Artists. Cages features 3 of the 4! Best known as a funnyman Osman explores his serious side in Cages but he doesnt leave the humor behind. Cages is directed by Circus Smirkus founder and former Dean of Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus Clown College, Rob Mermin (winner of the 2008 Governors Award for Excellence in the Arts). Especially composed music by jazz great Michael Chorney played live! - is a featured component of the production. Full of humor, lessons on life, and most importantly, humanity Jim Lowe, The Times Argus The stories star his parents, colleagues in the Vermont Legislature, and neighbors in Vermont. The vignettes include escapes from such cages as: poverty (his dads story); prejudice (passage of Civil Unions); debilitating illness and the right to die (his moms story); and his own story of battling mental illness through art. Serious stories but never preachy or maudlin. Just honest, affecting, uplifting - and often really funny. Let me tell you about the cage I put myself in the cage of my own neurosis. You think Woody Allen is it is neurotic? Compared to me Woody Allen is a Buddhist Monk at one with the world. Donny Osman may be most recently known as a politician, but he spent three decades as a professional clown; theater producer, performer, and teacher - with a stint leading Vermonts Governors Institute on the Arts. He was the original ringmaster for Circus Smirkus, and founder of Two-Penny Circus Theater. Osman harnesses all his experience to write and perform Cages. The project started in 2010. The catalyst: an ad for the Omega Institutes Class: Authentic Writing Your own solo show in 5 days. And tho he knew hed have to endure nothing but vegetarian food for 5 days, Donny enrolled. The BS quotient seemed irresistible. The workshop complete, he didnt have a complete solo show but he had a good start. After travelling to Denmark to work with director Jonathan Paul Cook, he discovered how to stitch the pieces together and Cages was born. Since then, Donnys polished the show by performing in living rooms, barns, The Governors Institute, The Off Center, and an art gallery in Woodstock NY. Now, under the direction of Rob Mermin, Cages has undergone further script revision, is full of movement and active, intimate storytelling. Donnys performance is supported by evocative live music, composed for the show by Michael Chorney on guitar. The LNT hosted production - its professional premier - also features projections, sharing images of Donnys family and history, adding visual interest to this compelling, moving show. continued on next page

Invasive species can upset the balance of nature, crowding out native species, threatening waterways and altering ecosystems. Control often is difficult once invasives - plants, animals, insects and pathogens introduced into areas outside their natural ranges - get established. To provide easy access to information on invasive species in Vermont, University of Vermont (UVM) Extension has partnered with the Vermont Chapter of The Nature Conservancy, the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources and the Vermont Agency of Agriculture to develop the Vermont Invasives web site (www.vtinvasives.org). The site serves as a one-stop clearinghouse for resources on the identification, management, prevention and reporting of these intrusive nonnative species. The site features a photo gallery of invaders along with a description and information on the geographic distribution and ecological threat of each pest. It also includes a calendar of events and updates on community projects and state and federal regulations regarding invasives.

New Web Site Launched on Vermont Invasives

Visitors to the web site can sign up for an e-newsletter or learn how to become involved with various monitoring, management and community outreach efforts including the Richmond Floodplain Forest Restoration Project and UVM Extensions First Detector program. The latter trains volunteers to scout for tree pests such as the emerald ash borer, Asian longhorned beetle and hemlock woolly adelgid. In addition, the web site provides links to other agencies and organizations as well as to resources including iMapInvasives. This free web-based invasive terrestrial plant database allows users to submit information on invasive plant infestations in their area and track control measures. The web site is funded by the U.S. Department of Agricultures Forest Service Urban and Community Forestry Assistance Program. For more information, contact Kate Forrer at (802) 223-2389, ext. 210, or (866) 860-1382, ext. 210, (Vermont calls only) or by e-mail at Katherine. Forrer@uvm.edu.

Lt. Governor Phil Scott and Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Patrick Berry recognized the winners of Vermonts 2011 Youth Hunting Memories Contest on Saturday, January 21 at the Yankee Classic Sportsmans Show in Essex Junction. The Youth Hunting Memories Contest showcases the achievements of Vermonts youth hunters, said Commissioner Berry. In addition to the three young people who received awards, we had 70 youths who submitted wonderful essays capturing their thoughts, passions and experiences about hunting in Vermont. Perhaps most striking is the importance our kids placed on family, friends and having fun outdoors. This year's winners are Colby Fox, age 9, of Wallingford; Jacob Crawford, age 11, of Jericho; and Trevor Houle, age 14, of Brattleboro.

Lt. Governor and Fish and Wildlife Commissioner Recognize Youth Hunting Memories Contest Winners

Each winner received a Beagle Outdoor Wear fanny pack, binoculars, a compass and several Fish and Wildlife Department publications, including the 2012 Calendar. All contest winners and their family members also received complimentary passes to the show, courtesy of the Yankee Sportsmans Classic. The Youth Hunting Memories Essay Contest is a joint partnership between the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department and the University of Vermont Extension System. All of the essays can be read on the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Departments youth page.

A new, national environmental education resource is now available for educators through workshops given by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department. Growing Up WILD: Exploring Nature with Young Children is an early childhood education curriculum guide focusing on wildlife education. The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department has been offering Project WILD and Aquatic WILD training workshops to Kindergarten through grade 12 teachers, environmental educators, and college students for many years. Now, Ali Thomas, the Education Coordinator for the department is adding Growing Up WILD to the list of training options. Growing Up WILD is an incredible resource, as the creators of the curriculum clearly understand the needs of early childhood educators, says Thomas. All of the lessons creatively address concepts in math, science, physical education, and literature while incorporating multiple learning styles and optional activities such as music and movement, snacks ideas, home connections, and more. These interdisciplinary methods are necessary for successful early child-

hood learning. The curriculum guide and online supplementary materials are easy to use and fun to do. Whether youre a formal teacher in a school or a non-formal educator at a nature center, this guide is an effective teaching resource in any setting. Growing Up WILD was developed by a national nonprofit organization, the Council for Environmental Education (CEE). Funds to create the program came from a grant awarded to CEE by the Environmental Protection Agency with the goal of strengthening a national effort to connect young children to nature, particularly with diverse audiences. Developed with the vision of changing the culture of early childhood education to embrace learning in the outdoors, Growing Up WILD is the first nationally distributed professional development program and activity guide that integrates environmental education into the early childhood curriculum.

Capitol Notebook bY JoHN oDUM

Montpelier travels in time to whose benefit? This week in the Statehouse, its largely business as usual inside the committee rooms, while in the halls and on the Statehouse lawn, its 2010 all over again. This early in the legislative session, there isnt usually a lot of high-stakes drama. Mostly committee work, in which bills are being shaped into forms that the greater House or Senate can vote on or in some cases, dying altogether. The former category includes bills focused on energy in particular the proposals to increase or expand net metering (the policy which allows for utility customers to offset some or all of their electricity costs with self produced renewables, such as solar). One bill that would allow for a small expansion passed out of committee and was quickly voted on in the House Chamber. In the latter category bills that may not see the light of day we find the bill alternatively dubbed death with dignity or physician-assisted suicide, generally depending on whether one is for or against it. Senator Dick Sears (D-Bennington) has suggested he may not bring the bill up in Committee because he believes it doesnt have support to pass the whole Senate. This is a big statement from the Senate Judiciary Committee Chair, given that he may still bring a pending marijuana decriminalization bill to the table. If he believes the dignity/suicide bill doesnt even rise to that bar, that says a lot. In the halls, however, much of the chatter focused on Federal District Court Judge Gavin Murthas ruling that the Vermont legislature overstepped its bounds by denying the Vermont Yankee nuclear plant the right to keep producing energy beyond March. Its a topic that has consumed a lot of newspaper ink of late, and even provoked a demonstration on the Statehouse lawn by VPIRG (Vermont Public Interest Research Group), which led the efforts to have the facility closed. Meanwhile, the debate on whether or not the Shumlin administration should release cost estimates for its health care reform plan before the November election continued to play out in the media. So, the election-year quiz of the day: what do you get when you add a debate over the future of Vermont Yankee with a debate over the merits of universal health coverage? Answer: you get 2010. And we all remember how 2010 went in both the gubernatorial and legislative races.

With the fate of the plant back on the table, the anti-Yankee machine is already reawakening, and that tips the scales back into Shumlins favor. Keeping Yankee front and center through November will not be hard. The Public Service Board will rule soon, and even if they rule in Entergys favor, there will be the opportunity for an appeal of the Murtha decision, which could drag out for some time. Beyond that, there may be other legal arguments to be made including whether the leaking of radioactive tritium presents an opportunity for opponents under the legal designation of Vermonts groundwater as a public trust. Both of these things health care (without the specifics) and Vermont Yankee uncertainty - mean that Shumlin can run exactly the same race as last time. A race he won. And thats even before you take into account his numerous other advantages in 2012 as compared to 2010: hes the incumbent Governor, its a Presidential election year (increasing Democratic turnout), he has earned universal praise on his handling of the Irene aftermath, and his presumed Republican opponent (Franklin County Senator Randy Brock) is not as broadly known and liked as his previous opponent, former Lieutenant Governor Brian Dubie. If the GOP is to have a chance at retaking the Governors office, theyll need to find a way to fight the battle on their terms and while the Statehouse is still buzzing with legislative activity. As of now, its shaping up to be a Democratic perfect storm.

GAL.

Editor: On behalf of the American Red Cross, I would like to thank the incredibly dedicated blood donors in the Barre area for their ongoing support of patients who rely on blood transfusions. Your generosity is unparalleled. I would also like to take this opportunity to apologize for the unusually long waits donors experienced at the most recent blood drive on January 16. Blood donors give not only their blood but also their time. At this blood drive, many loyal donors had to choose between lengthy waits to give blood or leaving without the opportunity to donate. Because we truly value our blood donors and appreciate the time and effort they give to help people in need,

neither option is acceptable. Putting together a blood drive is more art than science. Arranging for the right number of staff to accommodate the expected number of blood donors can be a delicate balancing act based on many factors. Such factors can include drive history, special promotions offered, media attention, weather conditions and many other internal and external circumstances. The Red Cross strives to staff all blood drives appropriately in order to provide quality customer service to donors while, as a non-profit organization, holding down costs. Thank you for the outpouring of support on the Martin Luther King holiday a day of service which Barre area residents clearly took to heart. We pledge to honor your commitment by making sure future blood drives run smoothly and are already working on plans to accomplish this goal. I ask you to give us the opportunity to serve our blood donors in Barre and surrounding areas with the excellence they deserve.

t has been on my mind lately that we dont take good enough care of ourselves. Okay, maybe the we in that rst sentence should be an I, and the ourselves should be a myself. Im not sure about those points, so forgive me if I take the liberty of speaking for you too, as that is something I just might do here. Lately, things have been happening to me, and to some members of my extended family and friends. (I have noticed recently that those people are actually beginning to age, and I feel bad for them.) The things which have been happening to me lately are happening to my body. I think that it, (my body) really hates me. It, at the very least, dislikes me, because it keeps coming up with ways to annoy me. My body seems to be rebelling. (Notice that I said rebelling, not revolting, as that word can mean more than one thing.) The truth is that I was recently diagnosed with having a very aggravating and tedious, although common, physical condition, which, so far, is at least number three on my list of aggravating and tedious common conditions. (I refuse to use the word disease. That term sounds like something is rotting, and, although I am older today than I was yesterday, I am not rotting, yet.) Fortunately for me, my brand new condition is much less serious than ones many other people contend with. This is not because I am good; but more likely because I am a chicken about some things and not as adventurous as some people. I have taken relatively few health risks in my lifetime, and have been in no serious accidents. Risk-taking is not really in my cowardly genetic makeup, but I guess I have taken a few. I suppose that marriage is one risk. That one has worked out well, so far, although perhaps better for me than for my wife. But its only been 39 years, and

Taking Care
By G. E. Shuman

you never know. I have also braved a few business risks, but those have worked out too, although I came close to losing everything that one time. I dont take business risks anymore, or get married anymore. My wife, hopefully, appreciates both of those facts. I really wish that people would be careful. It has been said that 99 percent of the bad things we worry about happening never do, (happen.) I believe that at least half of that remaining one percent of bad things are things that we bring upon ourselves. Personally, because of the aforementioned diagnosis and some renewed attempt at common sense, I have recently made a few minor lifestyle changes. As I said, I have never had a long list of risky behaviors to attempt to quit, so the doctors have assigned one to me, in deciding to take the act of eating away from me, or at least the eating of things that seem worth eating. No one understands why I believe that potato chips are the perfect food, no matter how much I explain it. You see, there is no denying that potatoes are popular and healthy vegetables which are full of vitamins. To make chips, they fry the potatoes in fat, which must contain protein and needed calories, and then they are covered in salt, which is a vital mineral. Need I say more? Still, I am too fat, no matter how many bags of chips I have eaten. You know, my friends, we are already nearly one twelfth of the way through this new year. I would ask you, before more time passes, to determine to start being good to your body, and to nurture your spirit. (Although I hate that word nurture and will tell you why some other time.) In short, please begin taking care. To comment, read other columns or learn more about Georges novel, The Smoke and Mirrors Effect, visit Georges World at http://vtpenner.blogspot.com/

here is not much that I like better than going shopping and going into a store where the salesperson is not only polite but also interested in helping me with what I am there to purchase. I also feel the same way about waitress and waiters. I dont think that it is unreasonable to expect to be treated well when I am planning on spending my very hard earned money. Am I wrong? This past shopping period, Christmas and the holidays, brought the whole topic to mind for me. I noticed that my attitude and my disposition were definitely affected by how I was treated when I was stressed out and shopping. But I must admit that I always feel the same way! When I go into a store, I am probably there not just to shop but to take a little time to look around and see if the store actually carries what I want. If I am greeted by a pleasant salesperson who wants to help me in my quest, I am a happy person. If I find what I want, I am thrilled when that same person is not only willing but able to help me. And if we both have the time to chat, so much the better. But in the same vein, if I am ignored because the salesperson is texting, talking on their cell phone or the stores land line, chatting with their friends, or just ignoring me because they hate their job or worse, dislike my face or just hate me because I am old and want their attention... already we have a problem and I havent even asked for help or mentioned what it is that I am looking for. These trolls have already ruined my day and unless I know for a fact that they have what I want, Im out of there! Many years ago I had a childrens clothing store, and we had the most wonderful older woman who worked for us. She was friendly and anxious to please anyone who came in the door. I believe that it was her attitude that not only helped customers who knew what they wanted and needed, but also encouraged them to look around and find just the perfect thing to buy. Now, that was and is my idea of a perfect employee. To be honest, I know of many stores who have the same type of employee. And I also must admit that this is the store that I want to shop in. On the other hand, I can think of lots of stores who have sales personnel who are so rude and unhelpful that I will never, ever shop there even if they have just what I want. I always wonder if the owners of those stores realize that their employees are costing

them actual money? Not that I am ever a big spender, because I dont think that I am. But I am a customer and that ought to be enough to be sure you treat me well. I know that you hear about people using their computers to shop, supposedly its because it is so easy. And that may be true. But I also think it is because you dont have to deal with rude and obnoxious salespeople. And many places that you can shop online also send you your purchase with free shipping, which is a wonderful customer service and savings. For me, shopping online (except for LL Bean) is a lot like going to a casino. If I cant actually see it or touch it or discuss its merits with a kindly salesperson, I dont really love it. Of course, I do it anyway, but it will never take the place of actually going into a store. I must admit that I am not really the consummate shopper, but once in a while, I do like to go. And there are stores that I really like to shop in because I am treated so well. I think that, as a rule, the small mom & pop type store usually are the most friendly and try to make customer service part of their belief. And what I think is truly sad is that many of these stores are slowly going out of business, leaving only the big box stores and their poorly staffed floors available. That is what, in my opinion, makes the computer and online stores even more attractive. Of course, I could and can give you a list of the best places to shop in the Central Vermont area. I wont unless asked because I am afraid of those on the naughty list! But I have decided to make it my lifes work to pass on where the best places are to shop by my word of mouth. Just as a hint, there is a wonderful store in Waterbury, two in Waitsfield, one in Barre, one in Berlin and the best of the best sadly gone in Morrisville and Barre. I hope that someone will read this and take the time to tell the owner of a store where you were ignored or treated like an old fool. Maybe they just dont know and you will be doing them a favor to let them know. Of course, if they are the owner and are the ones who are teaching their employees how to mistreat their customers, dont bother because they will probably eat your heart out! We need to shop locally and keep money in Vermont, so you decide where and when to shop. And if you see me and I am smiling and having a good time while I shop, you will know that this particular store is on my to shop list. And I hope you will join me in rewarding that store for their understanding of how to treat their customers

Senate Report:

he story of Matthew Lyon focused national political attention on the newborn state of Vermont and offers a good illustration of the intensity of political strife in the 1790s. Lyon came to this country from Ireland as a redemptioner, meaning the cost of passage was paid by some American employer in return for a contracted period of work, usually seven years. He settled in Litchfield, Connecticut, the home of many early Vermont settlers. He eventually married a cousin of Ethan Allen. (Litchfield County would give Vermont four governors, seven congressmen, seven Supreme Court justices, and three United States senators.) Like many of his friends, Lyon began to buy land at bargain prices in the north. He chose a tract of land in Wallingford, which at the time consisted of only a few rough log huts scattered in the surrounding woods. During the Revolution, Lyon joined the Green Mountain Boys. He participated in the capture of Fort Ticonderoga in 1775 and the Battle of Hubbardton in 1777. Lyons first wife died shortly after the war, and he married one of Governor Chittendens daughters. Shortly thereafter, Lyon founded the town of Fair Haven, establishing the first store, the first hotel, a paper mill, gristmill, two forges, an iron furnace, and a newspaper. He twice represented Fair Haven in the General Assembly. Lyon was elected to Congress in 1796. He gained national attention by getting into a fight with Congressman Griswold of Connecticut. Representative Griswold suggested to Lyon that he had been less than patriotic during the Revolutionary War and Lyon

Congressman Matthew Lyon

by Senator Bill Doyle spit into his face. They dueled on the floor of Congress, one with a poker and the other with fire tongs. Congress attempted to expel Lyon, but a twothirds vote was not achieved. In 1798, Lyon wrote a letter criticizing President Adams, calling him a pompous fool. Congress had just enacted the alien and sedition laws. He was convicted of sedition in a Rutland court, put into jail in Vergennes, and fined $1,000. While in jail, he was re-elected to Congress. A few years later, he moved to Kentucky, became a merchant and ship builder, and established a printing press. He was beset by financial difficulties and lost virtually all his property. In 1820, he was appointed as an Indian agent in the territory of Arkansas. In a very short time, he was elected to Congress, but shortly thereafter, he died before he could take his seat. According to a biographical account by Vrest Orton, Lyon was a remarkable man who was a real opportunist and could have risen probably in no other country but America. There was no question that he was a considerable force in his day, for he founded two towns himself, helped found three states, and valiantly maintained the Bill of Rights. Senator Bill Doyle serves on the Senate Education Committee and Senate Economic Affairs Committee, and is the Senate Minority Leader. He teaches government history at Johnson State College. He can be reached at 186 Murray Road, Montpelier, VT 05602; fax 802-828-2424; e-mail wodoyle@comcast.net; or visit www.BillDoyle1.com.

Fractals of Change By Tom Evslin

e need government and we need banks; but we dont need government to be as big as its grown and we dont need banks which are too big to fail. When sectors like government or banking grow out of proportion to the benefits they bring, the economy as a whole suffers from a misallocation of resources. So recent headlines like these from The Wall Street Journal are good news: BofA Ponders Retreat Bank of America has told U.S. regulators that it is willing to retreat from some parts of the country if its financial problems deepen. Banks Overhaul for Leaner Era The investment-banking industry, notoriously prone to cyclical hiring and firing during booms and busts, is in the midst of a retrenchment that may be more far-reaching. RBS Bids to Shrink to Glory The needed contraction in the financial industry would have happened sooner if there hadnt been the bipartisan bailout known as TARP; it would also have been more abrupt. IMHO the economy wouldve recovered quicker if we hadnt cushioned the way down for investment bankers; others argue that that an abrupt banking contraction would have tanked the economy worse. Well never know who is right. The fight now is to make sure that banks dont get further bailouts and that too-big-to-fail banks get smaller. The prognosis is not great. The European Central Bank is continuing to print money to lend to its member banks at concessionary rates (1%) in hopes that these banks will turn around and lend some of it to their feckless governments, thereby keeping the governments afloat and earning high profits for the banks so that they can repair their dam-

Parents of teenagers have been asking me when is the best time to transition their teen from a pediatrician to an adult physician. If they have been seeing a family physician, this should not be an issue unless they have a chronic illness and need to also change from a pediatric to an adult subspecialist. If they have been going to a pediatrician, this can be a hard transition perhaps harder for the parents than it is going to be for the teen. That being said let me share some information on transitioning teens to new doctors. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, teens should transition to adult-oriented health care between the ages of 18 and 21 years. At this age it is important to allow your teen to begin to take charge of their health care and be part of the selection process. You might sit down with your son or daughter and ask what is important to them in selecting a new doctor it might be wanting to see a provider of the same gender; it might be about having someone who is non-judgmental and respects their views, such as in regard to sexual orientation; it might be about having an office nearby or having appointment times that are convenient to taking college courses or working. You or your teen might also want to know who is available when the chosen doctor is not, whether they respond to emails or text messages, and how a physician or practice handles emergencies. Its a great idea to have your teens medical

Transitioning Your Teen From The Pediatrician to a Clinician Who Cares for Adults

PLUGGED IN
By Eric Gwinn Chicago Tribune Dear Eric: What about those new iPhone batteries? I got my iPhone Nov. 1. I was a holdout till my BlackBerry contract expired. I never bonded with the BlackBerry like my friends did, and couldnt wait to get rid of it and get the newer iPhone. Well, 2 { months later, the battery doesnt last me the whole day like it did in the beginning. Can you please advise what to do about it? _ Laura Dion-Jones Laura: Welcome to the club. Owners of the iPhone 4S _ the newest model that simplifies your life by, among other things, responding to your voice commands _ have been griping about battery life since day one. The short answer: Wait till Apple tries another fix. Apple tried to correct the problem with a software update in November, but it acknowledges more needs to be done, telling the website All Things D (http://www.allthingsd.com), The recent iOS software update addressed many of the battery issues that some customers experienced on their iOS 5 devices. We continue to investigate a few remaining issues. Even Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak is a victim, as he recently told Dan Lyons of the Daily Beast: With the iPhone, something happened with the new OS or the new phone, and it just started running through the battery so fast. Ive had a lot of issues with things I have to turn off just to save the battery life. Woz still loves his iPhone; he just wishes it were better. Like the rest of us. Like Apple, Verizon Wireless offers tips for extending battery life: _ Avoid exposing the iPhone to extreme heat and cold. _ For the first three charge cycles, fully charge the battery overnight and allow it to fully discharge before recharging (aka battery conditioning). _ Charge and recondition a battery after an

records transferred to the new doctor prior to their first visit, and even to ask his or her pediatrician to write a summary that will be helpful to the new doctor. If your teen is nervous about becoming an adult patient, ask him or her to write down a list of topics or questions they might have about their health or their bodies prior to the first visit, so they can be sure to remember these questions when meeting a new care provider. If you are a parent who has been taking your teen to the doctor, this is a great time to stop doing that and allow your older teen or young adult to take full responsibility for their health and well-being as they transition to a new doctor. If for some reason your teen does not feel comfortable with the new doctor, be reassured his or her pediatrician can certainly help in finding someone else who might be an even better fit than the person originally chosen. Hopefully, tips like this will allow you and your teen to transition smoothly when it comes to transitioning their care to an adult clinician.

Dealing with iPhone Battery Drain

The Vermont Department of Health will award a total of $1.2 million beginning in July 2012 to prevent chronic disease and promote wellness in communities around the state. The grants are designed to target alcohol and drug use, nutrition and physical activity, and tobacco control and to expand the Healthy Retailers initiative. Healthy Retailers helps owners and managers of independently owned grocery stores, convenience stores and gas stations create an environment that encourages healthier food and beverage choices, and discourages tobacco and alcohol use. Communities can be awarded up to $130,000 each for a one-year project period. The request for proposals was issued on Jan. 3, and communities can apply until Feb. 15. With this funding, we want to help communities make the healthy choice the easy choice for Vermonters of all ages, said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD. Making that goal a reality takes collaboration and creativity on the part of all of us. One example of a community wellness project already underway is Lamoille Countys effort to create an eight-town wellness plan. Under the leadership of the Lamoille Valley Fit & Healthy Council and Lamoille Prevention Campaign, the plan is designed to promote physical activity, review ways to build more safe routes to school, improve school nutrition, develop a farm-to-school program, empower parents to help prevent underage drinking, and reduce binge drinking through a partnership

with Johnson State College. The proposed plan will go through extensive review with public hearings, the planning commission, the selectboard, and village trustees. With community wellness funding from the Health Department, Newport has helped to create a fresh start community garden in the center of a block just off Main Street. The garden is surrounded by homes on a plot of land that had been a muddy parking lot. One of our gardeners said she lost 15 pounds and saved money on her food bills because she became involved in tending the garden, said Jennifer Black of the Newport Community Education Center. We still have a long way to go to build a healthier community, but the garden was a good starting point. We had great success and it was visible for everyone in town to see. Funding for the new community wellness grants comes from three sources: Vermonts Coordinated Healthy Activity, Motivation & Prevention Programs (CHAMPPS) grants, the Centers for Disease Control and Preventions Health Infrastructure funding, and the Substance Abuse Prevention and Treatment block grant from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

extended idle period. _ A lithium-ion battery may be damaged by extensive overcharging (continuously on a charger for more than 24 hours). _ Use the battery. If possible, avoid letting your battery sit idle for long periods of time. _ Use only the phone options and accessories that you really need. None of those worked for me _ or for a lot of people. The battery life of my iPhone 4S was great at first, but after about two weeks, its 100 percent battery charge started dropping up to 5 percentage points an hour _ even when it was doing nothing. By the end of the day, I was rushing my phone to its charger. Ive tried everything: reinstalling the operating system and the apps, turning off the automatic sending of my phones diagnostic and usage data (Settings > General > About > Diagnostics & Usage), turning off reception of Wi-Fi, cellular data, location services, frequent fetching of new email messages, you name it. I even rested the iPhone vertically instead of laying it flat when I wasnt using it. At the end of the day, I wound up with a beautiful new apps machine and media player _ because Id turned off all the cool functions to prolong the battery. So, like other frustrated iPhone 4S owners, Ive turned all the features back on and decided to live with it. I like the phone but hate fretting over battery life while listening to music, watching videos, checking the Web _ you know, doing all the things I got my iPhone to do. Next time, we should wait till the reviews are in before our credit cards come out. Do you have a tech question? Send a note to Eric Gwinn at egwinn@tribune.com. Be sure to include your name, location and a way to reach you if we need more information _ and your question, of course.

By Mark W. Smith Detroit Free Press Many of Facebooks 800 million users are going to be in for a bit of a shock soon. Facebook said today that its aggressively redesigned profile page, dubbed Timeline, will be forced on all its users in the next few weeks. Timeline, first showed off by CEO Mark Zuckerberg in September, is a new profile view for Facebook users that makes it easier to go back in time and see posts from years ago. It also allows users to upload a large cover photo, which stretches across the width of the of the profile page. Facebook is hoping Timeline becomes a digital scrapbook of sorts, offering an easy peek back to nostalgic posts from the early days of the social network. Some users have been fearful, though, that making old posts easier to find is not a good

development. Once a Facebook user is prompted to make the switch to Timeline, he or she has one week to go back through old posts and delete them or change the privacy settings to limit access to them before the users Timeline is viewable to anyone else. The best place to do this is inside Facebooks Activity Log, which shows all a users posts in one spot and is viewable after Timeline is activated. If you havent yet made the switch to Timeline and would like to do so, start the process at http:// www.facebook.com/about/timeline/. Once a Facebook user has enabled Timeline, there is no opportunity to go back to the old profile.

A Taking the Fish Out of Fish Oil

by Edward Ferrari Jr., R.Ph.

If you want the omega-3 benefits, but don't like eating fish or have trouble with fish oil supplements, here are some tips. To avoid the "fishy" indigestion and odor, try freezing the capsules. This slows the digestion of the fish oil, reducing the burping. Taking the capsule right before a meal traps it in the food, which helps to buffer the odor. You may want to switch brands, because the more purified the omega-3 fatty acids are the less fishy they taste. There are also "odorless" supplements that have an enteric coating, allowing them to dissolve in your intestines instead of your stomach. Ask your pharmacist which supplement is right for you.

Sound Proof, an exhibit of black and white photographs by Matthew Thorsen, will be on display in the Governors Gallery in Montpelier from February 1st through March 30th. Thorsen, the go-to photographer for Burlington-area bands during the 1990s, took hundreds of portrait, newspaper and magazine photos, effectively chronicling the local music scene of the era. The Governors Gallery is the final venue for this show as it concludes a state-wide tour. The photographs in this exhibit were taken at a time when Thorsen was still working with film. He has since moved to a digital format and these chemical prints have become an artful reminder of a receding era and a valuable contribution to the historic record of Vermonts musical heritage. Each image in the show has corresponding interpretive audio featuring Thorsen describing the subject and context of the image, in most cases followed by music performed by the band or artist. Audio is accessed via cell phone, fee-free, provided by Guide By Cell and supported in part by a 2010 Champlain Quadricentennial Legacy Grant from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership with support also from the Vermont Arts Council and National Endowment for the Arts. Sound Proof was produced by Big Heavy World with Matthew Thorsen and sponsored by Seven Days, with generous support from Creative Habitat.

The Center for Sustainable Practices at Vermont Technical College is pleased to announce the college has developed a Sustainability Fellowship Program. VT Tech President Dr. Phillip A. Conroy appointed Michelle Girouard, B.S. Michelle Girouard in Sustainable Design & Technology (2011), to fill this new one-year post beginning in September 2011. A second Fellow, Dan Aubin, was just appointed by Dr. Conroy and his position will run from January through December 2012. The new Post-Graduate Year Fellowship in Sustainability is an opportunity for a Vermont Technical College graduate from a baccalaureate degree program to work for the college on strategic and special initiatives in an area related to their academic concentration through the Center for Sustainable Practices (CSP). This new oneyear post will generally be filled by a single VT Tech graduate each year, although the Fellowship may be offered to more than one applicant as desired by the college. A Lebanon, NH native, Girouard has called Vermont home since her time at VT Tech earning her Associate in Applied Science degree in Landscape Development and Ornamental Horticulture in 2005. Donna Barlow Casey, CSP Director, says, Michelle brings a fresh perspective to the CSP

and a direct connection to the student body and academic programs. This will be especially helpful as we begin an effort to reduce the College's energy consumption by 5% and look for student ideas and involvement to achieve that goal. Her Dan Aubin intellectual curiosity, solid work history, and first-hand experience with grant-funded applied research on renewable energy projects make her a particularly strong first Sustainability Fellow. This fellowship offers the opportunity for a more professional, less academic, experience, Girouard said. I see it as providing the support to help me narrow my career focus and find my passion within the growing field of sustainability work, while contributing to VT Techs effort to create a more sustainable campus environment. The Sustainability Fellow is responsible for managing core CSP programs, such as annual film and lecture offerings, discussion courses, and environmental awareness training. During her appointment, Michelle will also be integrally involved in the energy reduction initiative underway through the VT Tech - IBM partnership; the college has committed to a goal of reducing its annual energy consumption by 5%.

Accessorizing with belts! Wearing a belt can be for function or fashion! Recently in the past years, wearing a belt over tops or sweaters is very fashionable. Generally the trend has been to wear the belt lower on the hips. This works great for those of us that have the dreaded mufn top and want to conceal it. Letting the top fall from the shoulders over the torso only to be gathered together by a belt around the hips camouflages the torso yet emphasizes the smaller shape of our hips. So for those of us that have a pear shaped figure where the hips are bigger than the waist, then move the belt from the hips and wear it around the waist, emphasizing the smallness of the waist. More on belts next week! Catch Fashion Know-How on WDEV (550 AM) at 7:50am every Sat.!

Fellowship Appointments Announced continued from previous page

developed at IBM Burlington, the initiative will benefit from the input and partnership of VT Tech students, faculty and staff, the Vermont Manufacturing Extension Center, and IBM volunteers. The grant is one of eleven IBM Centennial Grants awarded to projects around the world and one of only two in the U.S. in recognition of the companys 100th anniversary. Michelle will serve as the project liaison with the student population on all VT Tech campuses. Sustainability Fellow Dan Aubin is a Norwich, Conn. resident who earned two degrees during his four years at Vermont Tech -- a Bachelor of Science in Architectural Engineering Technology and a Bachelor of Science in Sustainable Design and Technology. With his particular interest in historical preservation and architecture, Aubins work will focus on the Allen House renovation project (the CSPs new home on campus) including research and writing about the historical and architectural aspects of that project, assisting with curriculum revision work on a solar course for a grant project, and serving as a teaching assistant in Professor Ward Joyces Green Building Tech Survey class.

Aubin became a certified LEED Green Associate with the U.S. Green Building Council as a student, and hopes to encourage other students to achieve the same credential before they graduate to make them more marketable in the field. His goal for his teaching assistant position is to highlight the range of issues related to creating a sustainable community, and how the buildings are just one part of the puzzle. Dans return to campus to work on sustainability could not come at a better time for us, said Donna Barlow Casey, CSP Director. His background in architecture and interest in historic preservation will help us develop a program that celebrates the buildings history and explains the rehabilitation work for the buildings first year as the physical location of the Center for Sustainable Practices. Dan brings positive energy to all his work that Im happy to have as part of our sustainability team. Sustainability Fellows are nominated by faculty members each spring in response to a call for submissions. See www.csp.vtc.edu for more information about the Fellowship and the CSP at VT Tech.

GO FIGURE

The idea of Go Figure is to arrive at the figure given at the bottom and right-hand columns of the diagram by following the arithmetic signs in the order they are given (that is, from left to right and top to bottom). Use only the numbers below the diagram to complete its blank squares and use each of the nine numbers only once.

Best described as a number crossword, the task in Kakuro is to fill all of the empty square, using numbers 1 to 9, so the sum of each horizontal lock equals the number to its left, and the sum of each vertical block equals the number on its top. No number may be used in the same block more than once.

Rooting Geraniums and Other February Gardening Tips

Charlie Nardozzi, Horticulturist and Leonard Perry, UVM Extension Horticulturist Rooting annual geraniums, starting the first seeds indoors, and forcing branches into bloom are some of the gardening activities for this month. Geraniums that you brought indoors this winter are probably getting tall and leggy by now if theyre not growing under artificial grow lights. Prune back errant branches and take 4- to 6-inch cuttings to root. Strip off the bottom set of leaves, dip the cut ends in rooting hormone powder, and stick the cuttings in a pot filled with moistened potting soil. Keep the soil moist, and they should root in a few weeks. Now is a good time to take inventory of your supplies for seed starting. Check quantities of potting soil, containers, labels, etc. Wash any used containers, then sterilize with a 10 percent bleach solution (one part bleach to ten parts water) or less corrosive solution of a household disinfectant such as Lysol (one part to 2 parts water). Long-season alliums, such as leeks and onions, should be started from seed now. The very tiny wax begonias should be started this month too, as well as pansies. Sprinkle the seed on top of seed-starting mix, keep it moist, and as soon as the seedlings emerge, place the flats under grow lights. Snip the ends of the alliums periodically to keep them about 3 to 4 inches tall and help them grow strong. A heating mat (inexpensive ones can be found online and in complete garden stores) under seed flats will keep the sowing medium warm, helping germination. Give the gift of fragrance this Valentines Day with freesias, tuberoses, Oriental lilies, hyacinths, or any other flowers that will perfume the air. Just make sure others in your home arent allergic to their smells. Or make a fragrant spring gift basket with small pots of hyacinths and other bulbs set in a larger basket, topped with Spanish moss. If not sure what a person may want, splurge on a gift certificate for fresh flower bouquets from a local florist. Now is a good time to repot any houseplants with roots coming out of the drainage holes. Choose a pot one size larger than the current pot, remove the plant, trim any errant roots, and repot using fresh potting soil that you can buy in bags at most garden outlets. As soon as the buds start to swell, its time to begin pruning apple, plum, and cherry trees. Dont prune when bitterly cold to avoid possible branch damage, and for your own comfort. Japanese plum trees and peaches (if hardy in your area) should be pruned to an open center, while apples, cherries, pears, and other plums grow best pruned to a modified leader (center is more closed and tree is more upright). Remove any dead, diseased, or broken branches, as well as crossing branches and twiggy, nonproductive growth. While youre pruning flowering trees, such as crabapple and plum, cut some 2-foot sections of pruned limbs with flower buds on them (flower buds are larger than leaf buds). The best way to hydrate the stems is to lay them down in a bathtub of water overnight. If anyone in your house objects, just recut the stems, place them in a bucket of warm water, and keep them in a cool place for a week or so. When flowers begin to open, bring them into your living room and your house will smell of spring even though the snow may still be flying outdoors. -----------------

Q: I have a stamp collection that I am interested in selling. I understand that unless a stamp is rare or unique, it is not worth much more than face value. Do cancelled stamps have any retail value, and will I get a better deal with a small, local trader versus a larger commercial dealer? -- Curt, via email A: I will partially answer your question by sharing a personal experience. My mother was a stamp collector, and when she died several years ago I inherited three of her albums. She specialized in U.S. commemoratives and first-day issues. After showing her collection to several dealers, it was determined that her stamps were not worth much more than face value. As with most collectibles, there are always exceptions to the rule. In mothers albums were several Civil War cancellations, and they were somewhat valuable. To make a long story short, I am using most of her stamps for personal postage since they are not likely to increase in value. My advice is to get some of the better price guides and carefully examine your collection. I realize this is time-consuming, but an educated consumer is better prepared to make decisions. An Internet site I have found helpful is www.theswedishtiger.com/ ID.html. You also can order

price guides from this company. *** Q: I have a wire recorder that was originally made for the military. We have taken it to the Antique Roadshow, and they had no idea of how much it is worth. Can you help me? -- Anita, Albuquerque, N.M. A: Wire recorders were once an example of cutting-edge technology, and many of the early models were made by two companies, Webster and Silvertone. The early recording devices were, indeed, used by the military during the mid-1940s. Wire recorders are not very collectible, and most sell in the $45 to $100 range. *** Q: I have a Willkie campaign button that shows a bucking donkey and the phrase Ill Bet My Ass. It is in fair condition. Does it have any value? -- Lee, via email A: Your button from Wendell Willkies failed 1940 presidential campaign is worth in the $10 to $20 range, depending on condition.

Color_3.75 x 1.5 Horizotal_Ask the home Team Icon

Q: This is my first .625 Horz_Ask thehomeowner. I grew up in a winter as a home Team_copy block BW_3.75 x house where my parents saved money on heating by shutting off the heat to unused rooms in the winter. Ive been doing this in my house, but a friend told me that it can damage a house somehow. Is this a good idea or not? A: Well, it depends on the house and how cold its allowed to get. Some houses are fine, while others will develop problems like EMAILED ADVERTISEMENT frozen pipes, cracked plaster or drywall, and wetness on the inside of the home and the outside. As notable is the potential problem of condensation forming on cool surfaces. Without enough heat to ADVERTISING INSERTION ORDER dry them out, these surfaces can become ideal spots for mold and Thomas Hirchak Company wood rot. This Amy happen where you can see it or where you FROM: may Crawford/Matt Chaney cant -- within the walls, floors, or attic. The colder a house becomes, the more risk. The temperature at which problems happen depends -on a number of factors, including COMPANY: The World ROP the homes insulation, air leakage, and humidity levels. If you decide to turn heat down or off in a room, be sure there are no pipes running through it (or in its walls, ceiling, or floor). Then, monitor how your house responds. This will alert you to problems you can see and to cold spots where condensation may form. Thanks for a question about something that lots of Vermonters wonder for The Home Team about. - Li Ling Q: Is move a freezer outside for the winter, it a good idea to to save to do it, but itd energy? My new father-in-law wants be my husband and me whod do the grunt work. Is it worth it? A: The appliance will run for shorter times when the temperature of the air outside of the freezer is close to the desired temperature inside the freezer. However, the mechanical parts of freezers are designed to work at room temperature. If you place a freezer in temperatures below about 45 degrees, the components may fail prematurely. A good compromise, if possible, may be to keep the freezer in the basement year-round. If the basement is colder than the kitchen but stays above 45 degrees, you get the benefit of slightly lower electricity costs without creating as much risk for valuable components of the freezer (and components of your husband and your backs, from all that lifting). - Li Ling for The Home Team

Q: Last winter, a couple of pipes in my basement burst. The plumber said that they froze and burst. How can I prevent this from happening again? -- Darla G., Dothan, Ala. A: Frozen pipes, as you unfortunately discovered, are a serious problem that quickly can become costly, especially if flooding occurs and damages furniture and other items. Before talking about prevention, lets quickly look at emergency measures. When the worst occurs -- a burst pipe -the water feed to the pipe must be shut off immediately in order to prevent flooding, and then a plumber contacted to fix

Frozen Pipes

By Samantha Mazzotta

the problem as soon as possible. Of course, this problem tends to occur at the worst possible times and in the worst way -the first prolonged cold snap of the year, when no one wants to be wading through freezing water to the shutoff valve. Or, when homeowners are on vacation and flooding occurs for hours ... or days. (This happened to me several years ago: My upstairs neighbors pipes burst, and the water flooded my condo.) To prevent this problem, take steps to keep the temperature around those pipes above freezing. Pipes in an uninsulated basement should be wrapped in pipe insulation (available at the hardware or home-improvement store). Outdoor spigots should have the water flow to them turned off during the coldest months, and then be drained; if you cant turn off the water, purchase insulated spigot covers. During freezing weather, turn on the cold-water tap in the highest and lowest parts of your house, as well as the outdoor spigot. Keep it at a thin trickle or fast drip. Check on all of your pipe

runs throughout the freezing period. Run your hand along the pipes when you can. If you feel a spot thats significantly colder than the rest of the run, theres a good chance that water is freezing in that spot. If you see frost or condensation on a section of a pipe, or if you see a bulge in the pipe run, those also are telltale signs. Immediately wrap the freezing pipe in a towel soaked in near-boiling water. Pour hot water over the towel periodically to keep it warm. If a bulge in the pipe occurs, or you cant thaw it, contact a plumber immediately to take additional measures to save the pipe. HOME TIP: Insulating your basement or crawlspace can not only prevent frozen pipes, it can make a big difference in your heating, electric or gas bills. Send your questions or tips to ask@thisisahammer.com, or write This Is a Hammer, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

NOW HERES A TIP

By JoAnn Derson
odors. All thats left is the smell of yummy. -- M.N. in South Carolina Wash bath towels in cold water. It preserves color and still cleans them well. And for smaller dryer loads, add a clean, dry bath towel to speed up drying time. Turn down the maximum temperature on your familys water heater. You will do two things: One is to avoid accidental scalding, which is especially important if you have young children or seniors in your house. The other is to lower your electric bill, because the water heater will not have to work as hard to keep that big tank of water so hot. -- T.D. in New Mexico Keep a few bandanas handy in cold weather to use as a mouth/face cover to keep your nose from freezing. They are easy to store in a pocket, and easy to put on and remove. Send your tips to Now Heres a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475 or e-mail JoAnn at heresatip@ yahoo.com.

Make ice cubes out of punch when youre entertaining. I like to make different combinations, which can be adapted for adult and child parties. One that I like very much is to make ice cubes from red fruit punch, and then float them in lemonade. As the cubes melt, the mixture turns pinky-orange. -- I.F. in Missouri Bring egg whites to room temperature before whipping. Youll get a better volume, and they will be more stable. Ever make a delicious dinner that involves some stinky ingredients? This happens when I make broccolicauliflower casserole, or pork and sauerkraut. No worries, though; you dont have to smell that odor all day. Just simmer a pan of vinegar on the stove while making such foods. The vinegar smell goes away quickly, taking with it any other

DEAR PAWS CORNER: My German shepherd, Silky, is 10 years old and has developed hip dysplasia, which makes her pretty uncomfortable. She avoids slippery floors and she hates the tub, but I need to give her a bath. Any way I can do this better to keep her comfortable? -- Jack T., Oklahoma City

HAPPY TAILS BOARDING KENNEL

DEAR JACK: There are a few ways to help Silky stay comfortable while being bathed. First, try placing a large, wet towel in the tub that she can stand on to gain traction. Lift her into the high-sided tub rather than make her jump in. Shepherds are large dogs, so if need be, work with a second person and tandem lift her, with one of you cradling under her chest and the other cradling her midsection and then tucking the other arm between her back legs and supporting her belly. A step-in shower is an even better option, if you have one. Again, put down a wet towel so that she feels secure standing or sitting. In warm weather, you could set up an inflatable kiddie pool and fill it with warm water. This gives big dogs enough room to sit or even lie down during their bath, and they can just walk into it over the low sides. During the bath itself its important to work fast. Keep Silkys collar and leash on so you can hold her still as you wet her down (either with warm water scooped in a cup or using a sprayer attachment), add soap (only soap formulated for use on dogs), then rinse. Talk soothingly through the whole process. Once complete, lift her out of the tub onto a nonslip rug and towel-dry her fur, then give her lots of praise and a treat. Send your questions or tips to ask@pawscorner.com, or write to Paws Corner, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O. Box 536475, Orlando, FL 32853-6475.

Last Weeks Weather - Frequent Oscillations in Temperature and Precip. Type Very expensive weather systems these days just ask your local Town Road Foreman on man hours and materials spent to keep motorists safe on areas roads. Big oscillations in temperature continued last week notably two of them. But the difference last Thursday Night into Friday was that temperatures were slow to break the 32 degrees mark with major concerns for icing. The rain ensued freezing up on tree branches. Though as ice storms go this was barely registered, with some areas seeing as much as a quarter inch especially in places like Randolph and a few others. So outages with Power Utilities were at a minimum, but I t could have been much worse if these amounts were doubled. The earlier warm intrusion was more typical of what we have been seeing, snow to spotty freezing rain followed by a flash freeze and snow showers and a few mountain squalls. Vermont Weather Stats last week ending Monday morning Jan. 31st Highest temperature: 52 degrees at West Pawlet on Monday afternoon the Jan. 24th Lowest temperature: 10 degrees at Newport last Thursday morning the Jan. 26th Heaviest 24 hour precip: 1.30 Warren ending last Friday morning Jan. 27th Heaviest Snowfall: 6.0 Jay Peak ending last Monday morning Jan. 30th Most Snow Depth: 39 Mount Mansfield at the stake last Sunday afternoon Jan.29th Global Weather Facts For Last Week Last weeks hottest temperature on planet earth was 109, Oodnadatta, South Australia. Last weeks coldest temperature: minus 52 on Alaskas North Slope Inuit outpost of Nuiqsut.

CO2 Readings and RDS (Reality Detachment Syndrome) The global concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide continued to steadily climb during 2011, despite pledges by some countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions. Basically, it is still business as usual and accelerating. December 2011 Carbon Dioxide level (CO2) at 391.80 Compared to previous December 2010, it is up from 389.68 That was a 2.12 increase in parts per million from December 2010. Reality Detachment Syndrome continues at an all time high, roughly 9 out of 10 across the U.S. and about 7 out of 10 for the rest of the world at large. RDS is a measurement of inaction of political leadership and cowardice. Well keep you posted right here. Mid Winter 2012 Heat Records Crushing Cold 6 to 1 Capitol Climate reports that at the midpoint of meteorological winter last week, (DecemberFebruary), new high temperature records are outnumbering low temperature records in the U.S. by a ratio of 6.2 to 1 per preliminary reports from the National Climatic Data Center. Thanks to an incredible ratio of nearly 34 to 1 in the first half of January, the seasonal ratio is the highest since the over 11 to 1 value seen this last summer (2011). The total count of 2545 new heat records for the first 6 weeks for winter, outnumbers the total cold records in the last 6 months of 2011. The preliminary analysis from NOAA/NCEP data for December 1-January 16 shows the warmest temperatures relative to average (as much as 14.4 F above) in western Canada, extending southeastward across most of the U.S. The only area in the country with substantially below-average temperatures includes New Mexico and southwestern Texas.
