Yosemite Fire House update
By Jennifer Jones
The Vermont Journal
CHESTER, Vt. – The Chester
Town Selectboard is trying to secure a deed for the historic Yosemite
Firehouse building before deciding
what to do with it.
At a special meeting of the Chester Selectboard held recently, little
new information was available on
the status of the Yosemite Firehouse.
Because title to the property is
ambiguous, the town chose to go
through the lengthy process of securing quiet title before taking over
the building.
An action to quiet title is a lawsuit
brought in a court having jurisdiction over property disputes, in order
to establish a title to real property, to
“quiet” any challenges or claims to
the title.
Chester Town Manager David Pisha said that town attorney Jim Carroll is currently performing “due diligence to ensure that all loose ends
are tied up” in the quiet title matter.
This effort will result in ownership
of a building that can be insured, receive grant funding, and possess an
unclouded title, Pisha said.
There have been no decisions
regarding future uses for the Firehouse, however, according to Pisha,
an architect’s review for renovation
has been obtained and is being considered as an option for the building.
Part of the action to quiet-title
includes notification to any heirs of
the property, in this case the Richardson family, but to date only one
has been found. The search for heirs
will continue, and the town is still
waiting for a final ruling on ownership of the property.
Carroll believes that a judge may
declare the Richardson family no
longer has an interest in the property, giving the town clear title to
the site.
The Chester Historical Society
has plans to renovate the circa 1878
building on Route 103 into a fire
museum.
on the ecosystem measuring their
impact with cutting edge technology.
The small group of 15 students was
able to study on Mt. Mousalake and
the Island of Shoals, and in other diverse ecological corners of New England.
The Space Science module, with
only seven students, designed, engineered, and built the payload for a
balloon to travel up to 100,000 feet
and take pictures, worked with the
Marine and Environmental module
to launch a sensor to measure pollutants at a high altitude that had evaporated off a lake, and learned and
worked alongside several professors.
Fortin’s experience in the Bio/Nano
module with 30 students, was a little
different.
During the first week, after being
welcomed to the UNH campus and
Project SMART and completing the
appropriate safety training, Fortin
attended her first lecture on Genes
and Genetics, one that got everyone
up to speed.
Later that day, Fortin worked with a
small team of other students to calibrate micropipettes of different sizes
to determine their accuracy, precision, and consistency, a common lab
practice.
Over the following days, the pre
tested micropipettes were used to
isolate plasmid bacterial DNA, genetically transform bacteria, isolate
and enhance our own DNA, perform
gel electrophoresis, and to quantify
the concentration of proteins.
In addition to hands-on lab experiences, Fortin was also able to at-

The Vermont Journal
DURHAM, NH – The University
of New Hampshire recently celebrated its 25th year of hosting Project
SMART, a month-long STEM program for rising high school juniors
and seniors.
This science, technology, engineering and mathematics program
has three modules, Biotechnology
and Nanotechnology, Marine and
Environmental Science, and Space
Science, and each provide a select
group of students with the opportunity to work and learn with worldrenowned professors and research
scientists.
The program has grown to involve
a diverse group of students from all
over the world, from New Hampshire, Maine, Massachusetts, Vermont, Illinois, California, Alaska,
Canada, Spain, Germany, Greece,
and Turkey.
Aiyana Fortin, a senior at Black
River High School, was selected to
participate in the Biotechnology and
Nanotechnology module of Project
SMART.
From June 26 to July 22, Fortin was
learning in class and through guest
lectures on the UNH college campus,
completing hands-on experiments in
laboratory exercises, staying in the
dorms, and making friends with a
diverse, yet likeminded group of 52
students.
The Marine and Environmental
Science module studied the effects of
animals, insects, plants, and humans
Mount Holly Garden Tour
By Aiyana Fortin
The Vermont Journal
MOUNT HOLLY, Vt. - More than
70 people turned out for the 10th annual Mount Holly Garden Tour of
seven local gardens.
Each garden placed emphasis on
different features; some are practical, others are small accents of defining rock gardens, and still others
are paintings of vibrant colors, surrounded by bees and landscape.

sociation Building Committee has
been working to restore the historic building in the heart of Belmont, which houses the Mount
Holly Community Center and
the Mount Holly Town Library.
Originally a Methodist Church,
this building is now owned by the
town of Mount Holly and maintained by the Community Association, a volunteer non
profit
organization.
The association sponsors and
organizes a range of activities for
people of all ages, and has been
working since 1978 to nurture
a sense of community and provide opportunities to build connections between neighbors and
friends.
The first garden on the Mount
Holly Garden Tour belonged to
Margaret and Paul on Maple Hill
Road.
Fragrant lilac bushes, a small
apple orchard, a wide range of perennials and an expanded farmhouse frame a picture of the fields,
valley, and mountains beyond.
Local boulders morph into stone
steps that lead around the house
to a stone patio with stone walls,
a fire pit, and a hot tub, with small
trees and bushes on either side,

Chester Board of Selectmen preserve
local swimming hole
CHESTER, Vt. – The abandoned 800-foot section of Quarry
Road, currently a Class III roadway, is the last section of the road
and the board decided that relinquishing the right-of-way and
stopping maintenance of the road
would save money and be in the
town’s best interest. One resident
suggested that the section become
a hiking trail, but with no nearby
trails to join it to, it was decided to
just discontinue the road.
During a special meeting, the
board also discussed the Rainbow Rock swimming hole and
the Grafton Wind Project. Lydia
Menendez, assistant director of
the Vermont River Conservancy,
presented the board with an offer
that would ensure the Rainbow
Rock swimming hole and fishing
area on the Williams River keeps
its public accessibility.
The Vermont River Conservancy will raise funds, both public and private, to purchase the
1.84-acre Rainbow Rock parcel
from the Dexter family, and, inturn, donate the land to the Town
of Chester for long-term ownership. Menendez wanted to gain
preliminary approval for the project before continuing her efforts

in fundraising, and the Select board,
finding no downside at this time,
lent its support.
Resident Tom Hildreth raised
concerns over the cost to the town
for rehabilitating the site to meet
public safety standards, but Menendez stated that the Vermont River
Conservancy would raise funds to
cover these costs. It was also noted
that maintaining the site would be at
minimal cost to the town in the future, however, about $500 would be
taken off the tax roll if the site were

BRGNS “Back to School” program
LUDLOW, Vt. - It’s almost August
and for many families that means
back to school is right around the
corner. It’s time to gather supplies,
including new clothes, shoes, backpacks, paper, pens, pencils and
more. Unfortunately, that can be an
economic hardship for many people
with already stretched budgets so
Black River Good Neighbor Services
in Ludlow would like to help.
BRGNS will again provide school
supplies to those children whose
families might not otherwise be able
to afford them. If you have or know
of a child who is returning to school,
who needs such supplies, and whose
family may find such purchases difficult or impossible, please call Audrey at (802) 228-3663, or stop by
the BRGNS thrift store at 37B Main
Street in Ludlow to let them know.
Also, for those of you who are
in a position to donate school
supplies, including new backpacks, or money for BRGNS to
buy them, now is the time to act.
Please bring donations to the
BRGNS thrift store. Store hours
are Monday through Saturday,
10 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. For more information, please call Audrey at
(802) 228-3663.

symphony of flowers, beetles, and
bees.
The second garden has been kept by
Annette Lynch and Candice Neary
on Greendale Road.
Their home is located on the edge
of a 10acre clearing surrounded by
rolling hills and the Green Mountain
National Forest. Over the past 20
years, a garden has risen from rough
fields, with flowers, low vines, birch
trees, and small fountains. Perennials are mixed in with vegetables to
complete the picture, and the copse,
an outdoor housing of trees, makes a
spot for a picnic, a space only 50 feet
from a wildlife habitat in development.
The third garden, located on North
Hedgehog Hill, belongs to Carol Ballou.
It is a mix of shade and sunny gardens, tended and wild gardens, small
ponds, and blueberry bushes that exhibit a diversity of plants and wildlife. The stone terrace, tree house,
pagoda, and stone walls are works of
art.
English Shepherd puppies have adopted the silt pond and daylily patch
as their own personal jungle, and the
view of the wetlands combined with
of the following – 3 cedar raised
garden beds; garden fencing; 10
outdoor chairs; a sports net; a
horseshoe set; scrapbooking paper and stencils. This opportunity help the residents enjoy the
gardens more and allow for a
variety of games and indoor activities.
We appreciate this grant very
much for all that it brings to the
life of our residents.
the sound of a waterfall make a spot
to sit, rest, and smile at the contagious mood of those puppies.
The fourth garden belongs to Mimi
Francis and Karin BarZeev.
Their home and property on Healdville Road began 20 years ago as a
dense forest, and little by little, the
trees have been cleared to make
space for heirloom gardens, stained
glass stepping stones, ornamental
trees, and a small pond with a view of
the newly restored Star Lake. A small
path through the trees opens into a
small field, secluded by unique trees
and familiar sounds.
The fifth stop on this tour were the
gardens of Linda and Bill McGrath
on Shunpike Road, which were filled
with perennials and a vegetable garden.
There is everything from sun, shade,
and pond gardens to stone walks,
trails through the woods, and a rustic pergola, all accentuated with the
hum of busy bees; a spot for a picnic.
The sixth stop on this tour was the
home of Jenn Burrows and Stu Berry
on North Gates Road.
Their preCivil War house was previously home to an industrial diaper
cleaning enterprise that had served
Bowlsville for 50 years, and their
Vermont home has expanded and
is surrounded by perennial gardens,
old trees, two barns, and a pond.
The primary garden is bursting
with irises, lilies, bee balm, Queen
Anne’s lace, peonies, honeysuckle, and large boulders and rocks,
characteristic of a Vermont landscape.
The final stop on the garden
tour was the home of Barbara and
Rick Ludwig, located at the top of
Mount Holly, at 1963 feet.
An expansive view of the mountains is framed by a vegetable garden with exotic plants. A stone
wishing well, pond, grape arbor,
and birches frame a path to another garden, barn, and a postcard
vista of the mountains with pumpkins, gourds, corn, and potatoes in
the foreground.
Those who took the tour said
each of the gardens on this tour
was incredibly unique, and “a reflection of the owner’s personality
and thinking.”
They said each garden and the
space around it made a beautiful
place to just sit and rest for a moment, breathe in the fresh air, and
literally smell the roses.
The tour was a fundraiser that
supported the Mount Holly Community Association Building
Committee and showcased the
unique gardens.

application. Each lecture was eyeopening, students said, introducing
the students of Project SMART to a
new area of study and kindling curiosity.
In addition to labs and lectures,
modules, they also went on field
trips, especially on the weekends.
These places included the New
England Aquarium in Boston, the
Boston Museum of Science, Harvard
Forest, fireworks in Portsmouth, visits to Malls and the movies, whale
watching, and a trip up Mt. Washington on the Cog Railroad.
This well-rounded experience was
an opportunity to meet and make
lifelong friends, learn from the experts, and create new information
for the scientific community.
Each student was encouraged to
create and present a poster of their
own scientific research. Topics included everything, including the effects of cyanobacteria in lakes, quantum mechanics and nanotechnology,
the domestication of wild animals,
the effects of caffeine on the human
body, and the design and engineering of a long arm for the Space Science module’s project.
Fortin worked with Jeffrey Guo
to explain the effects of the OXR1
gene and protein, an antioxidant
that counters the effects of reactive
oxygen species, which are produced
constantly by metabolism in cells.
Based on the study of this gene in
mice, the removal of the gene caused
the mice to develop neurodegenerative disorders and die earlier than the
expression
control group, and over
caused the mice to live up to three
times longer. Fortin and Guo wanted
to know if mice would be the best
species to study, based on differences
that can crop up within a gene over
evolutionary distances.
After creating a phylogenetic tree
with almost 30 species involved,
it was determined that a common
chimpanzee had the most similar
OXR1 gene, and would therefore be
the best organism to study.
Project SMART has proven to be
an amazing academic program, students say, inside and out, and provides opportunities for a diverse
group of like
minded students to
participate in hands-on labs, learn
from experts, and do their own research to understand new and exciting things. They said they hope that
Project SMART will continue past its
25th anniversary and continue to offer opportunities for years to come.
A controversial endeavor, the Grafton Wind Project has brought about
heated discussions among those who
reside in Grafton and Windham with
differing opinions on the installation
of wind turbines to generate electricity.
Members of the Grafton Woodlands
Group attended the Select board meeting in an effort to form a regional alliance to stop the Grafton Wind Project,
hoping to garner support from the
neighboring communities of Chester,
Londonderry, Townshend, Athens,
Jamaica, Andover, Saxton’s River, and
Rockingham.
According to the Grafton Woodlands Group, Chester is on one of the
main transport routes for the project
and residents could expect one-anda-half years of large trucks traveling
from Interstate-91 down Route 103 to
Route 11, and ultimately, down Route
121 to Grafton. Major changes to the
roadways may be necessary for those
trucks, the Woodlands Group said,
because they haul heavy components
for the project. The upgrades could
include: road widening and straightening, and raising the height of utility
poles.
Following the presentation, board
member Ben Whalen stated he did
not feel he received an update on the
project, but more the point of view of
the Grafton Woodlands Group, and
asked to be briefed on the positive aspects the project could provide to the
area. The Woodlands Group provided
none, and its representatives suggested
the board conduct its own research on
the issue and reach its own conclusions.
More information on the Grafton
Wind Project, and wind energy literature in general, may be found at
the Grafton Woodlands Group office
at 205 Main St., Grafton, or by calling

money in the state and reduce
greenhouse gas emissions.
“A carbon future is not a reality,”
Ram said. “We have to shape the
change before the change shapes
us.”
She added that people need to get
away from “single-occupancy vehicles” and home heating fuels. She
said a carbon tax effort should include regional states and Vermont,
but added that energy efficiency
might be a better policy if Vermont
is forced to act alone.
Smith called global warming “the
existential threat of our time,” adding that carbon pricing is the “most
effective way to deal with climate
change.”
All Shapes & Sizes
Brock blasted the idea that the tax
would harm Vermonters and the
economy.
“Having a carbon tax as an individual state will mean that Vermont’s reputation as a place that
is not welcoming to business and
business expansion will increase,”
he said. “For people who live in rural areas — like my constituents in
Enosburg and Richford, who have
to drive 40 or 50 miles per day to
Essex or elsewhere to work one way
— a carbon tax will be devastating.”
Brock doubted the carbon tax
would be redistributed back to the
public via tax credits, as is often
claimed.
“Based on your past experience, I
ask you: do you believe that in fact
is going to happen?” he said.
The Democrats spoke favorably of
a carbon tax proposal.
“If we don’t take steps to look at
what our economy is going to be in
the future, then we’ve got our heads
buried in the sand,” Zuckerman
said.
Zuckerman, an organics farmer
from Hinesburg, blamed global
warming both for dramatic rain and
- New & Antique Oriental Rugs
people accused of domestic violence
— policies that rankle gun owners
and have failed to move beyond
Burlington’s failed charter changes.
Zuckerman suggested anything is
on the table, including regulation of
semi-automatic magazine capacity.
However, he said none of his gun
control views would stop a lawabiding Vermonter buy or shoot
firearms.
“None of those things stop any
U.S. or Vermont citizen from getting the gun they want if they don’t
have that criminal background record,” Zuckerman said.
Brock said he opposes new gun
laws and commented that the term
“assault rifle” lacks definition and is
inconsistent from state to state. He
said banning weapons would likely
lead to the creation of a black market.
The carbon tax, which environmentalists say is necessary to fight
global warming, exposed another
rift between Democrats and Republicans. The tax, which would be imposed on heating oil, gasoline, diesel, natural gas and propane, stands
to raise $500 million a year by 2028.

MONTPELIER, Vt. — As candidates for Vermont’s next lieutenant
governor met to debate hot issues,
Democrats called for gun control,
carbon taxes and universal government health care, while the sole Republican stood opposed to all three.
On Thursday night at the KelloggHubbard Library, three Democrats
and one Republican met to debate
issues that will be on most minds
come the November election. The
Democrats were state Sen. David
Zuckerman, state Rep. Kesha Ram,
and former Speaker of the House
Shap Smith. Randy Brock, a former
state auditor and senator, was the
lone Republican.
As candidates debated enacting
universal health care, Brock wasted
no time getting down to dollars and
cents.
“I want to share a secret with you:
We don’t have any money. Who’s going to pay for all this?” Brock asked.
“That is a critical question that
we need to answer because we don’t
even know at this point what these
kinds of programs are going to cost.
We’ve seen proposals by the advocates for universal primary care that
have included ranges from $250
million to I believe $415 million per
year.”
While Democrats this year aren’t
interested in reviving Gov. Peter
Shumlin’s failed $2.6 billion singlepayer plan, some candidates have
endorsed stepping stones to singlepayer ranging from universal primary care to expansion of Dr. Dynasaur, a Medicaid program for kids
and pregnant women.
All three democrats promptly
endorsed universal healthcare.
Smith said he would like to expand
Dr. Dynasaur program to include
young adults ages 18 to 26. Zuckerman said universal care could
create savings by catching health
problems early, before they require
an emergency room visit. Ram said
health care should focus more on
substance abuse and psychological
evaluations.
On gun rights, all three Democrats said they would support universal background checks. Smith
and Ram added they would ban
guns in bars and take away guns of

out, every second and every stride.
But marathoners have to pace themselves – too many spurts of speed
could tire them out and doom their
performance. As an investor, you, too,
should strive for steady, consistent
progress. Rather than attempting to
rush success and achieve big gains by
chasing after supposedly “hot” stocks
– which may already have cooled off
by the time you hear about them –
try to follow a long-term strategy that
emphasizes diversification among
many different investments. (Keep in
mind, though, that while diversification can reduce the impact of market
down-turns that primarily affect one
type of asset, it can’t guarantee success or prevent all losses.)
• Ability to overcome obstacles
– When sprinters stumble or fall,
they are finished for the race; there’s
simply not enough time to recover,
so they typically just stop. But over
26 miles, a marathoner can fall and
– providing he or she is not injured
– get up again, compete and possibly
even win. When you’re investing for
the long term, you have time to overcome “mishaps” in the form of market volatility. So instead of dropping
out of the “race” and heading to the
investment sidelines, stay invested
in all types of markets. As you near
retirement, and you have less time to
recover from market downturns, you
may need to adjust your portfolio to
lower your risk level – but even then,
you don’t need to call it quits as an
investor.
• Proper fueling – Sprinters have
to watch what they eat. But worldclass marathoners have to be ultradiligent about their diets, especially
in the period immediately preceding
a race. Because they must maximize
the oxygen their bodies can use while
running, they need a high percentage
of their calories to come from carbohydrates, so they “carbo-load” when
needed. When you invest, you also
need to periodically “refuel” your
portfolio so it has the energy and
stamina needed to keep you moving
forward toward your goals. And that
means you must add dollars to those
areas of your portfolio that need
beefing up. Regular reviews with a financial professional can reveal where
these gaps exist.
As an investor, you can learn a lot
from Olympic marathoners – so put
this knowledge to good use.
LOCAL
HISTORY
BY RON PATCH
This past July 16th & 17th, Chester celebrated its 250th birthday. At
the Chester Historical Society is a
scrapbook kept by Lucy Metzger
of the 1966 Chester Bicentennial.
Many will remember Lucy. She kept
every newspaper article she could
find and put it in her scrapbook.
These newspaper clippings show
how the Bicentennial Committee
was formed, and by who. Additionally they record all the events
of 1966. Before the 1966 event was
over, committee members began to
talk about forming a Chester Historical Society.
On August 12th, the Chester Historical Society will celebrate its 50th
anniversary. The historical society
has a Gala Reception planned for
Friday, August 12th at the Academy
Building on Main Street in Chester.
The Junior High School in 1966
was the building we now call the
Academy Building. For the 1966
Chester Bicentennial the ground
floor classrooms were emptied for
artifact displays. Many Chester
residents searched their attics for
old Chester artifacts. These artifacts
were exhibited all summer at the Junior High School.
There was so much interest in
these artifacts that the Bicentennial
Committee began talks on establishing a Chester Historical Society.
The first hurdle was separating from
the select board. The 1966 Bicentennial Committee was an agent of
the town under the direction of the
selectmen. This was accomplished
and a meeting was held to form the
Chester Historical Society.
At that meeting, John Whitaker
made a motion to hold the first annual meeting on September 9, 1966.
Some of those in attendance were:
Mr. & Mrs. Whitaker, Mr. & Mrs.
Huyler, Mr. and Mrs. Orcutt, Mr.
and Mrs. Perry Bascom, Elmer Butler, Lucy Metzger, Tom Chadwick
and Gale Peck.
At the August 1966 meeting, officers were appointed and committees were formed for all the posts
required. Those temporary officers

were: Mr. & Mrs. Orcutt, Gale Peck,
Mrs. James Smith, Paul Whitaker,
Miss Helen Park and Elmer Butler.
These founders of the historical
society recognized how important
it was to preserve Chester’s history.
Today the Chester Historical Society continues this legacy.
This August 12th, from 5:00 p.m.
until 9:00 p.m. we are hosting a
special Gala Reception in honor of
our 50th year. It is also in honor of
Merritt Edson and the final event of
Chester’s 250th birthday. Below is a
schedule of the August 12th event.
Mark Verespy, owner of The
Killarney in Ludlow, will cater the
event starting at 5:00 p.m. under the
tent. At 6:00 p.m. Peter Farrar will
give a report on his research findings on why the 1761 New Hampshire charter is not the charter on
which Chester operates today. Peter
has done a lot of research to bring
us this program.
At 7:00 p.m. Erik Johansson will
treat us to his unique musical talent.

celebration
Erik Johansson is a singer-songwriter-instrument builder with an
interest in the interface of folk and
classical instruments and songs. He
accompanies himself variously with
lever harp, harmonica, recorders,
mountain dulcimer, a small melodeon, and several kinds of guitars
including a German Baßlaute, a
type of harp guitar. He has rebuilt a
number of small antique pipe organs
on his own, and works further afield
on larger instruments with other local pipe organ builders. Currently he
is restoring a little free reed “rocking
melodeon” for the Weston Museum,
made in concord NH in 1847. This
instrument is an identical twin to
one he refurbished for his own use.
Erik lives with his wife Alysoun near
the historic Rockingham Meeting
house, where she has been a career
grandmother for the last 4 years.
In the basement of the Academy
Building we have several interesting
farm implements. We have a bean
winnower, corn shellers, butter
workers and churns, horse drawn
ice scoring machine, a primitive
eight foot section of wooden water
pipe and other items. There is also
one of the first metal ice boxes ever
produced in this country.
We need a couple strong young

“The Unknown Side of Playing Cards,” a glimpse into Walpole’s past
WALPOLE, NH - For centuries,
playing cards, which were once printed on just one side, were repurposed
and used for hundreds of other tasks.
When a deck became incomplete,
the remaining cards were utilized in
many secondary ways, both practical and creative. Paper was rare and
expensive, and these centuries-old
“secondary use cards” can today reveal interesting historical insights
into past centuries. Because of this,
these second-use cards are eagerly
collected, analyzed, and studied.
Gejus van Diggele is one such collector, scholar, author, and lecturer
of second-use cards. According to
him, thrifty New Englanders adopted this form of recycling valuable paper by using these orphaned
playing cards as invitations to social
balls. In his collection of over 5,000
cards, he has only been able to glean
52 of these rare New England cards.
In other collections, he has found
another 70 from towns like Bellows
Falls, Alstead, Rockingham, Chester,
Charlestown, Claremont, Westmoreland, and several other nearby towns.
Eight of these invitations were issued in Walpole, and seven of those,
dating from 1812 to1817, were addressed to the same girl, Miss Susan
Lane.
Mr. van Diggele will present a
lecture and slideshow explaining
the history of these unique little
time capsules and show examples

Hunger in Vermont
We heard some disturbing news recently: one in five children in Vermont
experiences hunger or food hardship.
That was the conclusion of a report by the Hunger Free Vermont group in
Burlington, using data from various sources, including the U.S. Department
of Agriculture.
Not a good number.
Food insecurity is the lack of access to enough food to fully meet basic needs
at all times, usually due to lack of financial resources.
The problem is growing, triggered by low wages, a decrease in neighborhood
grocery stores, and a lack of public transportation and affordable housing.
The study showed 13 percent of all Vermont households are food insecure,
more than 20,000 children under age 18 live in food insecure households,
and about 80,000 Vermonters of all ages live in food insecure households.
Children are affected the most.
Hunger in children can be detrimental to their health, well-being, and lifelong success, Hunger Free Vermont says.
Children living in food insecure homes are at greater risk for poor health,
nutritional deficiencies and obesity, the group notes, as well as developmental
delays, poor academic achievement, depression, and increased aggressive or
hyperactive behavior.
So what can we do about this?
For the general public, there are federal programs such as 3SquaresVT,
which was formerly the food stamp program.
Then there’s participation in school and after-school meals provided by our
public schools.
Those programs have been shown to reduce the risk for diabetes and obesity
in school-age children, and they improve student behavior, social interactions, and academic performance.
The foods provided by the school programs are nutritious and include
nutrients the child needs as he or she develops.
We need to make sure everyone eligible is signed up for the programs, and
Hunger Free Vermont is working on that.
It’s hard to believe that in a state like Vermont, there are still children going
hungry, but poverty is everywhere, in every community. Sometimes we don’t
see it.
We all have to work together to do what we can to fight it.

Dear Editor,
I’m voting for Bruce Lisman in the
August 9 Republican primary contest
for Governor and hope that other voters will do the same. I feel this is the
year that an outsider and non-politician has the best chance of changing
Vermont for the better. It would be
exciting to have a Governor who won’t
reward his political cronies but will
seek the best quality people to serve
our state. Bruce’s opponent, Phil Scott,
seems like a good person but he has
served years as Lieutenant- Governor
and in the legislature without providing meaningful opposition to the oneparty system that has kept Vermont in
a perpetual slumber.
We need a new vision for improving Vermont’s finances and broadcasting our many benefits. We have an
amazing opportunity to attract more
residents but we have an uphill battle
given the lack of leadership at the top.
It’s way past time to take a fresh look
at financing education, the unrealistic
rate of spending at the state level, and
the current administration’s fondness
for novel and untested programs. Why
in the world would a state of 625,000
residents spend hundreds of millions
on computer systems that don’t work?
Bruce is a thoughtful person who listens to others’ ideas without being doctrinaire. When I met him (and supported his Campaign for Vermont), I
was impressed with his knowledge of
Vermont and its challenges. His support for the ideas of others is genuine
and I especially appreciate his call to
repeal Act 46 and to support school
choice for all students and parents.
Please take a look at his positions as
outlined on his website: www.lismanforvermont.com.
Thanks for reading.
Sincerely yours,
Meg Streeter
Wilmington, VT
balanced state budget, ensuring that
our roads and bridges were receiving
sufficient State financial support, assisting those in need and attempting
to keep our school budgets in some
order while providing a quality education for all, from pre-K thru postsecondary school.
I am pleased to announce my enthusiastic support for Tom Bock, who
is running in the Democratic primary
to replace me. Tom is one who shares
our values of community participation and support, as he and his wife,
Mariette, have lived, worked and
raised a family in our town. I know
that Tom supports many interests
similar to mine, including concerns
over health care, education, fiscal responsibility in budgeting, protecting
the interests of those less fortunate
than we and maintaining support for
our town and state infrastructure.
Tom Bock will represent this district well in the State House. I served
with Tom on the Chester Select Board
and further appreciated his leadership during his later terms on the
Select Board, as a member and chair
of the Chester Planning Commission
and as a member and Chair of the
Southern Windsor Regional Planning
Commission. Tom has demonstrated
capabilities that others lack, including the ability to listen and respond
to the concerns of the people he represents and the experience to work
cooperatively with all sides to forge a
consensus to achieve the best results
available.
I hope you will join me in voting for
Tom Bock for State Representative for
Windsor District 3-1 in the Democratic primary on August 9, 2016.
believe that he will be a strong voice
in Montpelier and fight for the assistance that is needed to get Springfield
on the road to becoming the economic powerhouse once more.
In addition to economic issues,
Tom is also focused on many other
things that are important to Springfield. He believes that it’s time to con-
front opiate addiction, simplify the
Vermont health care system, ensure
fair wages and equal job opportunities for all Vermonters, and develop
a realistic strategy for addressing
school funding and the property tax
crisis. I know that Tom will be a real
partner working with Springfield
and its residents to reach our goal of
becoming a community that is prosperous, and an attractive place to live
and visit. I encourage you to vote for
Tom Bock for State Representative in
the Democratic primary on August
9th.
A Vermonter with generations of
Vermonters in her background, she
uniquely understands what the people
in our district need. As a mother and
grandmother, she knows what it takes
for families to thrive in these difficult
economic times. Improvement of our
health care system in Vermont is one
of her primary goals; she will work
hard to correct deficiencies in this area.
We have worked with Melody on
several projects, and we know she is a
highly capable person who will bring
her abundant energy and optimistic
vision to help solve Vermont’s pressing
issues. Above all, she is a good listener
and will be an effective voice for us in
our state government. We know she is
the right person for the job! We urge
you to vote for Melody Reed on August 9.
en’s issues, creating a higher minimum wage with paid sick leave and
same sex marriage. While supporting important social issues, he has
also addressed energy conservation
including weatherization of homes
and businesses, Act 250, GMO label-
ing and properly sited clean, renewable energy.
Dick’s experience is an asset as is
his energy, effectiveness and enthusiasm for the democratic process.
On August 9, those of us in Windsor County will be voting for three
Senators. Please join me in voting for
Senator McCormack as one of your
choices.
tive way of working. She’s conscientious, energetic and deeply passionate
about her community and Vermont.
Lately, Melody has traveled doorto-door just about every day, listening
to people as they share their concerns
about property taxes, health care
costs, the economy and the environment. She is committed to working
out practical solutions to the prob-
lems we face.
Melody was recently endorsed by
the Vermont State Education Association (VSEA), which represents over
5,000 workers in the state. She was
also endorsed by the Vermont AFLCIO, which represents over 10,000
Vermont workers. She cares about
providing workers with a livable wage
and creating more good jobs in our
area.
I can’t think of a better choice than
Melody Reed -- the workers’ choice -in the Democratic Primary on August
9. She will work hard for every one
of us.
passionate desire to help. Since then,
I have listened to his thoughts about
government and its role and abilities
and I believe his insightful, but common sense, approach will do us well,
as a people and as a state.
Lisman, who is characterized negatively by some for his success as a
businessman, is also a compassionate,
thoughtful, engaged person raised in
modest circumstances in Vermont.
Lisman is fighting an uphill battle
against the establishment candidate,
Phil Scott, and I am grateful to him
for doing so as I believe he has a
chance to be the best leader this state
has seen for a number of years.
I think Lisman fits the model of
successful homegrown former businessman, and the mold of Governor
Deane Davis, in that he comes from a
business background and is fresh into
politics with a fiscally conservative
and socially liberal ethos and a sense
of caring and of practicality that remind me not only of Davis but also of
Richard Snelling in his terms of office.
I feel that Bruce Lisman’s thoughtful conservatism is well founded and
won’t strain my principles and I will
be voting for him in the Republican
primary and I encourage you to do
the same.
interest in any issues that impact
Vermont, whether they are on the
national, state, or local level. She is
already actively working to protect
the environment and to enrich and
strengthen our community.
Melody epitomizes the Vermont
value of hard work. She is also a concerned and compassionate listener
who will be a strong voice for all of
us all in Montpelier, and will strive
to make this district economically
vital while maintaining the area’s
beauty and quality of life. She also
brings a fresh perspective to this district’s unique needs. Melody’s greatest strength is her ability to pinpoint
problems, research available choices
and alternatives – and most impor-
tantly find solutions.
Please consider voting for Melody
Reed at the primary on August 9th.
Absentee ballots and early voting are
available at the town hall.

Editor,
Windsor county voters have made
it clear that reigning in taxes, energizing our economy, creating jobs, and respecting local control are the priorities
we want our legislators focused on.
But, throughout their long careers
in the State House, the three incumbent Windsor County state senators
have all consistently voted to raise
taxes dramatically. Since just the last
election, Dick McCormack (D) Alice Nitka (D) and John Campbell (D)
helped to pass $95.3 million in new
taxes on Vermonters, taking more
money out of our pockets. Last year,
all three voted for a 91.8 million dollar
increase in the state budget – a budget
that leaves at least a $30 million dollar
hole in the FY2018 budget. In 2015,
both Alice Nitka and John Campbell
voted to increase our property taxes by
$14 million.
Senator Campbell is retiring after
voting for legislation that creates and
funds a job for himself in the Windsor County court system. Running
for Campbell’s senate seat are Conor
Kennedy (D), Campbell’s personal legislative assistant, and Alison Clarkson
(D), a high taxing and spending member of the House from Woodstock.
Mr. Kennedy is an unknown, but has
the glowing endorsement of his boss,
Senator Campbell. This speaks volumes about how Kennedy is likely to
vote. Alison Clarkson voted for every
major tax and spending bill that came
before the house over the 2015-16 session, a pattern that defines her political career. She is also one of the most
outspoken opponents of school choice
in the Vermont legislature, despite
sending her own kids to Groton, the
elite Massachusetts boarding school.
In her world, school choice is only for
the rich.
In 2015, Senator McCormack voted
NO on giving “substantial deference”
to local municipal conservation planning when siting renewable energy
facilities. He voted to silence local opposition and prioritize commercial energy development over conservation
of fields where wildlife and cows graze.
All of these candidates have not only
been silent about the financial mismanagement of the Shumlin administration, they have enthusiastically supported Shumlin’s gubernatorial races.
If we elect these Democrats again,
the pattern will continue. They will
do things like pass a Carbon Tax on
gasoline, diesel, home heating oil, etc.
($500 million), put all 18-26 year olds
on Medicaid ($400 million), subsidize
“free” college ($42 million), expand the
public school system to include daycare ($50 million). And who knows
what else…
Can you afford this? Are you ready
to give away your voice when it comes
to local schools and renewable energy
siting decisions? Windsor County
Democrats are clearly not listening to
local people.
However, there are three Windsor
County Republican candidates running for the Vermont Senate. They are
Mark Donka, Randy Gray, and Jack
Williams. They will bring fiscal and
ethical sanity back to Vermont’s government. They will defend Vermont’s
long tradition of school choice, and
they will seek practical solutions that
do not raise our taxes. In short, they
will listen to you, and represent you in
Montpelier. That’s what I call a change
for the better.
stance with bold, insightful plans to
address our stagnant economy, incompetent government, and other
complex challenges.
“In my conversations with Bruce,
I’ve been profoundly impressed by
his clear-eyed and comprehensive
knowledge of the issues facing our
beloved state. His heart for quiet service -- whether as chairman of the
UVM Board of Trustees, chairman
of the board of American Forests,
or in his volunteer work with at-risk
youth through the Boys and Girls
Club -- sets an example for us all.
Bruce is also the only gubernatorial
candidate who has worn our nation’s
uniform. Call me biased, but that
carries a lot of weight with me.
“Whether in the business field or
simply working to help Vermonters,
Bruce has shown, time and again,
that he improves all that he touches.
He brings out the best from those
within his orbit, and he raises the bar
wherever he goes. Bruce is a man of
backbone, armed with both grit and
wit. I know his administration would
possess an unrivaled work ethic and
a thirst for results --- and that prospect fills me with hope. The Lisman
campaign has captured my imagination and rallied my optimism. Bruce
has my respect, affection and admiration. Bruce Lisman has my vote.”
Bruce Lisman in response to
Tate’s endorsement said, “I am very
honored to have the support of Job
Tate. He is an outstanding man, who
serves Vermont and his country in
the U.S. Navy, vigorously advocates
for his constituents and is fully committed to making Vermont a better
place to live and work.”

The campaign of gubernatorial
candidate Bruce Lisman today announced that Representative Job
Tate (R, Rutland-Windsor-1) has endorsed Bruce Lisman for Governor.
Representative Tate stated, “Let’s be
candid. Vermont is in great decline.
Montpelier ignores the laws of mathematics, raising tax after tax to cover
its spending addiction. Special interests are driving the ship of state on
a course set straight for destruction.
“We face many challenges. Unfunded mandates. Drug abuse. Declining industry. Creeping poverty.
The flight of our youth. As we rise
to face these problems, we find ourselves hobbled -- by an ineffective,
unimaginative government, weighing down the exhausted, overburdened taxpayers.

Dear Editor,
Thomas Joseph’s July 15th letter in
the Times Argus viciously attacking
Bruce Lisman has no basis in reality
and is a classic case of wild innuendo
and smear.
The reality is that Bruce is a hardworking, self-made and honest businessman whose career spanned 40
years. He started as a dishwasher and
a taxi driver and worked his way into
the global equites division at a Wall
Street firm, an area which had nothing to do with the toxic mortgage
securities that caused such great economic harm.
Bruce has also generously provided
scholarships to help 400 Vermonters
attend college. He is a passionate environmentalist, serving as Chair of
American Forests, a renowned organization for planting trees. Bruce
also strongly supports the arts.
Given his business and civic background, Bruce is the best person to
serve as the next Governor of Vermont. Joseph’s endorsement of Phil
Scott, after his illogical insults toward Bruce, is ironic because Scott
sat as the chairman of the Senate’s
Institutions Committee, which oversaw state contracts while his construction company reaped in $3.7
million from state contracts. This
doesn’t seem ethical, but even if one
wanted to check the proceedings of
the committee meetings, they can’t
because Scott failed keep proper record of any of the meetings.
Phil Scott’s promise of putting
faith and trust back into the government sounds like empty words
and more of a desire to fill his own
pockets with more state money. The
only candidate than can actually restore our trust in the government is
the outsider that is championing an
ethics board for our state: Bruce Lisman.
Sincerely,
Claudia Shapiro

Connecticut River Valley baseball league
Walpole Showdown
by Bill Murphy
The Vermont Journal & The Shopper
by Bill Murphy
Having a mentor is a good thing; there appears to be no question
that Bob Lockerby was Bill Lockerby’s mentor.
Bill earned his own baseball legacy, both at Bellows Falls Union
High School and at American International College, BUT, when
your playing days come to an end, it’s time to sit back and observe
the coaching aspect of the game.
Obviously good baseball people, which includes Bill Lockerby,
learn plenty while they play the game, BUT, when you have the
opportunity to watch someone run a team for a number of years
and they show a certain kind of consistency, you learn so much
more. Bill was on Bob’s coaching staff for a number of years, and
although you still throw your own spin on things when you are
the headman, you also know, if it ain’t broke, don’t try to fix it and
keep many things intact when you run the show.
Lockerby’s Pierce Lawton Post 37 baseball team had a strong
season this summer. Lockerby told The Shopper/Vermont Journal early Monday evening “I am more than pleased with what our
team did this year. I thought we could play with anybody, and for
the most part, we did. I told you before the tournament began, we
showed we could play the game by being 9-3 against anybody not
named Brattleboro and Hartford. I think Hartford is the best, but
on any given day, I think this team could beat them, too.”
Bill Lockerby basically said there is a Post 37 secret. “Bob’s philosophy was that every year our goal was to get into the tournament. Once you qualify for the tourney, you know anything can
happen,” the first-year head coach told The Shopper/Vermont
Journal. Such was the case this year.
“We played very well in our first game,” (a 6-4 victory over the
North’s number one seed the OEC Kings), Lockerby pointed out.
“Zac Streeter pitched very well, he threw strikes and kept them
off balance. He threw something like 102 pitches and lasted 8 1/3
innings and then Josh Woods, finished up. That showed we were
a good team and we played well,” the coach continued. “It was an
exciting game,” Lockerby added, “and ended with a diving catch
in right field.”
In the end, pitching depth was likely the biggest reason the
Pierce Lawton team fell short in the tourney. “We actually hit the
ball the best we hit all season,” Lockeby said, pointing out that
Matt Gendron, Ethan Illingworth and Jacob Streeter led the hitting parade. BF took the lead in their second and third games
of the tournament early, BUT, in both contests, the number of
pitches the team had to throw, tired out the 37’ers arms in the end.
Woods, who saved game 1, started game 2 and “pounded the zone
with strikes,” Lockerby noted. HOWEVER, what appeared to be
a small strike zone, built up the crafty lefty’s pitch count and contributed to wearing him down in the end. Despite the fact, Brady
Illingworth, Matt Gendron, Colby Howe, Liam Hackett and Garet
Andrus tried their time on the mound, their pitches were not effective long enough to keep things in check.
Post 37 led Rutland and their ace Andy Kenosh jumped ahead
of Rutland early 3-0, BUT, by the time the Rutlanders rebounded
and nine innings were complete, BF was on the short end of a 9-3
loss. One day later, Post 37 took another 3-0 lead, BUT, in time,
Essex led 8-3, BF bounced back to 8-6 and had their chances,
BUT, the arms down the line would not hold up and even though
BF ended the night with the six runs, BF pitching just ran out and
the final was 15-6.
“Ya, I guess you could say that’s fair,” Lockerby responded, when
I asked IF when all was said and done BF tired out by throwing too many pitches each day. Post 37 was outscored 28-15 in
the three games, BUT, since they hit the ball pretty well and they
led in every game, they stood up well. Well enough to have their
coach say, “I am more than pleased with what our team did this
year. I thought we could play with anybody, and for the most part,
we did.”
REGION - The Walpole teams
are our local representatives in the
Connecticut River Valley Baseball
League. Once upon a time, the Saxtons River Pirates and the Walpole
Wild Blue were our local nines in
the league, BUT, Saxtons River (stay
tuned) then departed for the Green
Mountain Baseball League and the
Walpole Maples were born, leaving
our regional entries still at two.
You may know IF you have been
following the CRVBL all season, the
league is particularly strong in 2016.
Three different teams have won the
league title in the past three years.
Although the Claremont Cardinals
won the regular season title by two
games and are the post-season favorite, a number of teams still have
their eyes focused on the prize. Play
starts this weekend to decide the
true league champion. The past three
champs beginning with last year are:
the Maples, Putney, and the Cardinals.
The Cardinals final mark this summer was 12-2, with both Putney and
the Keene Summit tied for second at
10-4. Putney, for seeding purposes,
is given second place because they
swept the season series between the
two teams. Both Walpole teams finished only one game in arrears at
9-5 and they split their season series,
HOWEVER, because of the circuit’s
play-off structure, the two do not
need to break their tie for fourth as
the format has them meeting in the
first round four-five contest. Additionally, because they have the same
home field, it does not matter.
Rounding out the rest of the standings, Newport, Sunapee and Brattleboro all completed their seasons at
2-12, BUT, both Newport and Sunapee did not meet all league requirements, thus, Brattleboro takes the
sixth spot and meets the Keene Summit team this weekend at a date and
time to be determined. The top five
teams combine for a 50-20 record,
which shows one-and-all that there
could be some pretty competitive
baseball over the next two weekends.
The two Walpoles will meet at
the Hubbard Complex Saturday at 1
p.m. in a one game showdown to see
who will advance to the semi-final to
meet top seed Claremont. The Walpole Maples, currently the defending
league champions, and the Wild Blue
played strong league games to finish
the 2016 season against teams above
them in the standings. The Maples
lost a walk-off game to Keene 1-0, despite a strong pitching effort by Steve
Corey and Hank Bailey. The Wild
Blue fell 4-0 to top seed Claremont,
in a game where the Blue threatened
numerous times, BUT, left 12 men
on base in the shutout loss.
The aforementioned Saxtons River
team completed their campaign in
the Green Mountain Baseball League
with a doubleheader loss to the Barre
Braves 2-0 and 14-5.
Several times this year, the Pirates
dropped doubleheaders in the same
fashion, competing strong in game 1,
before being beaten soundly in game
2. They completed their season with
a 5-22 record. Davis Guyer pitched
well for the Pirates in the opener
and James Lugo had two hits, while
Zach Hale contributed two hits in
the nightcap.
Pirate’s manager Dave Moore said:
“We probably will not join the Green
Mountain League again and we will
wait and see what options may be
available next spring.” Moore went
on to say that the “Pirates definitely
would like to play competitive baseball at the highest level possible.” The
Connecticut River Ironmen, another
member of the GML, have similar
concerns as the Pirates, such as extensive travel. The two may be looking to start a new league OR just find
a better place to play. Moore told us
that it was important to him, to once
again, “Have the community enjoy
our team and small town baseball.”

BF Legion Baseball
The Bellows Falls Legion team opened this years’ Vermont State Tournament in
Castleton by upsetting the north’s top seed OEC Kings from the St. Johnsbury area.
Recently graduated BF Terrier Zac Streeter pitched a superb 8 1/3 innings to set
up the win.
Post 37 Legion Baseball
Matt Gendron of Bellows Falls Pierce Lawton Post 37 Legion had a good State

Game 2 versus Rutland in which BF took an early lead over Rutland before bowing,
BUT, by the time Rutland’s bats warmed up, Woods arm had run out of effective
pitches.

Starline Rhythm Boys return
CHESTER Vt. - Thursday, July
28 from 6:30-8:00p.m., the Starline
Rhythm Boys return to Chester for
the Chester Summer Music Series’
third concert thanks to the continued generosity of Dakin and Benelli,
P.C.
The Starline Rhythm Boys, now
celebrating 18 years together, was
formed by three professional musicians- Danny Coane (with The Throbulators), Al Lemery (with Badge),
and Billy Bratcher (after a big-time
one year stint in 1997 with Wayne
“The Train” Hancock). The Boys perform vintage country, honky-tonk
and rockabilly music along with very
tight and powerful country harmony
duet vocals. Their repertoire consists
of many superb originals, mainly
written by Bratcher, as well as great
covers of both classic and obscure
numbers. The Starline Rhythm Boys
are a unique original band with outstanding, real-deal sound, style, energy, stage presence and appearance.
They have appeared at almost every type of venue, as well as on radio
and TV. They are both a listening and
highly danceable group and appeal
to a very wide age range. The Starline Rhythm Boys are artists signed
to Cow Island Music, a small, independent “Americana” label, as well
as Coles Meadow Music Publishing,
based in Northampton, MA. They

Hunter Gallery features animal portrait artist
GRAFTON Vt. - Animal portrait,
pastel artist Josee Severino will exhibit
her enchanting portraitures at Hunter
Gallery of Fine Art for the month of
August. A special reception for its new
artist will be held on July 30 from 5 to 7:
30 p.m. at its gallery on 74 St.,Grafton,
Vt.
Severino’s unique talent is animal
portraitures in soft pastel tones. Having grown up in New Hampshire, she
developed a deep love and connection with animals and nature, which
brought her to specialize in animal
portraits. She began drawing when she
was a little girl and continued throughout high school. She cultivated her talent at the New Hampshire Institute of
Art, where her preferred medium became pastels.
In addition to being an avid horseman and an owner of a variety of pets,
she also has worked for a veterinarian,
which has given her an eye to paint a
variety of animals. Many of her works
are commissioned by those who want a
framed portrait of their cherished pet.
Her ability to capture the personal-
ity and soul of these animals is a special gift. Meet Josee Severino on July
30 and see her collection of works at
Hunter Gallery of Fine Art, 74 Main

Vermont has to offer.”
Seasoned collectors and buyers
know that antiques can offer a wide

and holding its value over time. The
association is always looking for
ways to encourage, entice and educate a younger and/or new consumer
market.
The Vermont ADA admission
profits support causes important to
Vermonters. In past years, profits
have been donated to The Woodstock Pantry Shelf, Reading-Brownsville Food Shelf, Neighbors Helping
Neighbors in Bridgewater as well as
to The Upper Valley Haven.
The show begins at 10 a.m. with the
usual excitement. The Union Arena
is located on Rte. 4 just 1.5 miles west

Matinee” for August 8. When a
matinee is “Magic” it means that
a sponsor has paid down the
ticket of youth and child tickets.
In this case Montpelier Alive was
able to pay down three dollars,
making the tickets $15 for Youth
(7-12) tickets and $12 for Child
(2-6). This way we can give more
kids who wouldn’t be able to
afford to go to a Smirkus show.
MON, AUG 8 – WED, AUG 10 MONTPELIER, VT – Circus
Smirkus shows August 8-10
running at 2 & 7 p.m. all three
days. The show is full of aerials,
acrobatics, wire-walking,
juggling, rolla-bolla, clowning,
live music and an array of
brilliant costumes. This year’s
tour continues the tradition of
Smirkus’ theme-based shows
with Up, HUP and Away; a highflying show that soars into the
wild blue yonder! With flocks of
jugglers, high-larious clowns,
and air-borne aerialists, this
show takes flight! Strap yourself
in for a wild ride on cloud
nine as we swoop from one
aerodynamic feat to the next.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) A
more harmonious aspect favors all
relationships. Family ties with mates
and children are strengthened. Libra
is Cupid’s choice to win the amorous
Aries’ heart.
TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) The
bold Bull is ready to take on fresh
challenges. Expect some opposition as
you plow new ground — but supporters will outnumber detractors.
GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) An
upcoming job change could mean
uprooting your family to a far-distant
location. Weigh all considerations
carefully before making a decision
one way or the other.
CANCER (June 21 to July 22) A
long-standing problem is resolved by
a mutually agreed upon compromise.
You can now focus on getting the facts
you’ll need for a decision you’ll soon
be asked to make.
LEO (July 23 to August 22) The Big
Cat needs to be wary of what appears
to be a golden investment opportunity. That “sure thing” could turn out to
be nothing more than a sack of Kitty
Glitter.
VIRGO (August 23 to September
22) You give of yourself generously
to help others, but right now you must
allow people to help you. Confide your
problems to family and trusted friends.
LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Relationships benefit from a
strong harmonious aspect. Things go
more smoothly at work. Someone you
thought you’d never see again asks for
a reconciliation.
SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) A minor distraction interferes
with travel plans, but the delay is temporary. Meanwhile, expect to play
peacemaker once again for feuding
family members.
SAGITTARIUS (November 22
to December 21) Keep that positive
momentum going on the home front.
Arrange your schedule to spend more
time with your family. You’ll soon
have news about that job change.
CAPRICORN (December 22 to
January 19) Control that possessive
tendency that sometimes goads you
into an unnecessary display of jealousy. You could be creating problems
where none currently exist.
AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) A new project holds some challenges you hadn’t expected. But don’t
be discouraged; you’ll find you’re
more prepared to deal with them than
you realized.
PISCES (February 19 to March 20)
Yours is the sign of the celestial Chemist, so don’t be surprised if you experience a pleasant “chemistry” betwixt
yourself and that new Leo in your life.
BORN THIS WEEK: You enjoy
being fussed over, as befits your “royal” Leonine nature. You also have a
strong loyalty to family and friends.

Turkey Brood survey starts Aug. 1
MONTPELIER, Vt. – Wild
turkeys are found throughout
most of Vermont, but their
reproductive success is monitored annually by the Vermont
Fish & Wildlife Department
with a little help from “citizen scientists” who report the
number and size of turkey families they see during August.
Fish & Wildlife is again asking the public for help. If you
Fishing access areas
not safe for swimming
MONTPELIER, Vt. – The
Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department reminds the public
not to swim at fishing access
areas due to safety concerns.
The primary use of the fishing
access areas is for launching
and retrieving motorboats.
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife
Department maintains more
than 180 developed fishing access areas on lakes and rivers
throughout the state. These
areas have allowed uses determined by law, and swimming is
not one of them.
The access areas were purchased and are maintained
with funds derived from the
sale of fishing licenses and motorboat registrations, as well as
a federal excise tax on fishing
equipment, fishing tackle, and
gasoline for motorboats. These
funding sources explicitly prohibit activities that are in conflict with fishing and boating.
Fish & Wildlife regulations
prohibit certain uses of fishing
access areas including, but not
limited to: swimming, littering,
camping, picnicking, making a
fire, parking of vehicles not related to priority uses, and commercial activity.
“It’s great that people want
to get out in the water, but a
boat ramp is not the right place
to go swimming,” said Mike
Wichrowski who oversees the
Fishing Access Area Program.
“There’s a reason motorboats
aren’t allowed in swimming
areas, and swimming isn’t allowed at fishing access areas it’s simply not safe.”
Vermont game wardens
have responded to several incidents in recent weeks involving people swimming at fishing access areas. In some cases
people, including children,
were swimming right at the
boat ramps while boats were
being launched, risking injury
or preventing the launching of
boats. Not to mention, the fine
for swimming at an access area
is $162.
“We understand that people
want to go swimming, especially during hot weather, but
we are urging folks to swim
at locally approved swimming areas,” said Colonel Jason Batchelder. “Finding a safe
swimming area is easy in most
communities. Just ask at a general store or other place where
people gather.”
see a group of young turkeys
in Vermont during August,
the department asks you to go
to the turkey brood survey on
its website (www.vermontfishandwildlife.com) where you
can record where and when
you observed the number of
adult and young turkeys, or
poults.
“Data gathered from the
survey will help establish longterm trends in Vermont’s tur-
outdoor news
key population,” says Vermont
Fish & Wildlife’s wild turkey
biologist Amy Alfieri. “It will
also answer questions about
the impacts of spring and winter weather on the survival of
poults and adult turkeys, which
helps in setting turkey seasons
and harvest limits.”
Over-abundant turkey populations can damage crops and
food stored for livestock in
bunker silos.
“We monitor Vermont wild
turkey numbers annually in order to maximize the benefits of
having turkeys while minimizing the liabilities,” says Alfieri.
“Turkey hunting is a mechanism for managing Vermont’s
turkey population within these
limits. Please help us scientifically manage the turkey population by reporting your Vermont turkey sightings during
August.”
If you see wild turkey broods during August, please provide information
about your sightings via a survey on the department’s website.
