Northfield Selectboard Approves Preliminary Merger Plan

Northfield elected officials are moving forward to meet the legal requirements necessary to bring a plan of merger to residents of the Village and Town. The Northfield Selectboard unanimously voted approval on a preliminary merger plan last Thursday. The vote was required in order to bring a merger plan to the residents at two public hearings prior to a vote at Town and Village Meetings in March. The Village Trustees have scheduled a vote on the preliminary plan for 6pm, December 18, 2012 at the Municipal Building in Northfield. Voters, by petition and at two public meetings, have directed us to present them with a merger plan, said Chris Bradley, Chair of the Northfield Selectboard. I wish to report that we have heard the public and the Selectboard has voted preliminary approval of the merger plan so we can fulfill our promise to bring a plan to the voters, said Bradley. Earlier in 2012, a group of citizens calling themselves One Northfield petitioned the Selectboard and Trustees to come up with a plan that would merge the Village and Town of Northfield. Later, voters at Village and Town Meetings endorsed the petition voting in support of the creation of a merger plan. In response, a ten member Merger Committee was created comprised of citizens of the Village and Town and members of the Selectboard and Trustees. The preliminary plan is the result of the Merger Committees work. Our task was to create a plan that accomplishes merger one that that is short, simple, and clear, said Christopher Curtis, ViceChair of the Merger Committee. After approval by our elected officials, the next step is to engage the public for feedback, suggestions, and to answer questions before bringing a final plan to a vote on Town Meeting Day, he said. Then it will be up to the voters, said Curtis. Village Trustees are also poised to act on the preliminary merger plan. I welcome the Selectboard's action to approve the preliminary merger plan, said Kevin Beal, Chair of the Village Trustees. I know the Trustees are considering the plan and will soon hold a vote on it, he said. I am eager to hear the public's input so we can continue this important discussion about the future of Northfield, said Beal. If both bodies grant preliminary approval, the process will move forward for two Public Hearing dates and times previously set by the Selectboard and Trustees for January 2, 2013 at 7:30pm and January 21, 2013 at 6pm at the Community Room at the Brown Public Library where the public will be able to ask questions and provide input. I fully support the concept of merger, said Bradley. This is an important first step in a public process and we welcome the input of our friends and neighbors in the Village and the Town, he said. I personally believe that merger is in the best interests of comcontinued on page 7

In their continuing effort to support the Vermont Disaster Relief Fund, The Associated General Contractors of Vermont has purchased 20 Vermont Strong license plates for their Board of Directors. Our members have already contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars of time and skills to help Vermonters recover from the destruction and devastation of Tropical Storm Irene, said Cathleen Lamberton, the associations Executive Vice President. We believe the purchase of these special license plates on behalf of our volunteer board gives public recognition to their strong leadership over the past year. In making the announcement, Lamberton also issued a challenge other associations and organizations to match the AGC action and purchase Vermont Strong license plates for their board members. Perhaps the volunteer leadership effort of boards of directors of other organizations and associations can be recognized for their priceless contributions through the purchase of the Vermont Strong license plate, Lamberton said. Members of AGC/VT are very committed to a full recovery, said Lamberton. We know it will take time to repair our roads and structures to pre-storm or better conditions. And we know it will take money to make it happen, she said. We hope other organizations in the Vermont

Northfield Selectboard Approves Preliminary Merger Plan

n n n

munity of Northfield, and I respectfully ask my fellow citizens to consider lending their support to this long-overdue initiative that will help streamline local government and make it more efficient, said Bradley. Vermont statutes require a preliminary plan of merger approved by the elected officials of both municipal bodies before being presented to residents at public hearings and later for a vote by the legal voters of the town and the village. If approved it would go to the legislature for approval. The preliminary merger plan is available at the municipal website, www.northfield-vt.gov. Click on the "Current Notices" button, then scroll down to click on a link for the merger plan. Merger Committee members also plan to have a public information booklet with questions and answers about the plan available soon. The Merger Committee and elected officials of the Village and Town welcome questions, comments and feedback on the plan. The public may reach elected officials or the merger committee by email at mergercommittee@hotmail.com.

Their birthday was Friday, December 7. Brother and sister are very sweet and tiny and have made their parents...and grandparents...and greatgrandparent... and aunts....VERY HAPPY. Their daddy Darin is happy to have a son to help even out the family boy/girl ratio from what we could see from family present there are lots of excited women waiting to help out. Shannon and Darin were taking their new family home to Northeld Falls where the twins would be welcomed by all. We wish them all the best and continued joy and happiness.

Montpeliers Onion River Chorus, directed by Larry Gordon, presents two performances of A Child is Born: Christmas Music by Michael Praetorius: Saturday, December 22 at 7:30pm at Stowe Community Church (137 Main St.) and Sunday, December 23 at 3pm at Christ Church on State St. in Montpelier, with reception following. The 60 voices of the chorus are joined by an ensemble of brass and winds led by Steven Light. They will also play a suite of dances from Praetoriuss famous collection, Terpshichore. Admission at the door, is $12 for adults, $8 for students. For information call 476-4300. Michael Praetorius (1571-1621) was one of the most prolific and versatile composers of all time. He is especially famous for his endlessly inventive settings of the well-known German chorale melodies of his day, from simple two-part harmonizations to huge multi-choir arrangements for voices and instruments. Onion Rivers program features his versions of some of the most famous Christmas melodies, including In Dulci Jubilo, Puer Natus in Bethlehem (A Child is Born in Bethlehem), Wachet auf (as used by Bach in his famous cantata), Joseph Lieber, Joseph Mein, and Wie Schn Leuchtet der Morgenstern (How Brightly Beams the Morning Star). Another unusual piece is a Magnificat, which alter-

Onion River Chorus Presents A Child is Born: Christmas Motets by Michael Praetorius

nates fanfare-like Latin settings of the familiar Magnificat verses with dance-like German settings of lesser-known chorale melodies. Praetorius was one of the first composers who explicitly called for various ensembles of instruments in his works. The instrumental band in these performances includes a loud quartet of two trumpets and two trombones and a soft quartet of recorders and bassoon, plus organ. The alternation between a cappella sections and accompaniment by one or the other or both of these quartets will create a constant variety of sound. Further variety is created by Praetoriuss frequent alternation of duple rhythms with waltzlike triple meters. The audience will be invited to sing along on the familiar verses of In Dulci Jubilo and A Child is Born in Bethlehem to culminate each half of the concert, with all of the instruments joining in. New singers are welcome to join Onion River Chorus for their spring program which rehearses Monday evenings at Christ Church in Montpelier, beginning January 14. The spring program will be directed by Dick Riley and will include a Bach cantata, a cantata composed by Riley, and a group of shorter pieces by Henry Purcell. For information call David Grundy at 476-4300.

With just a few short days remaining before the red kettles are stored away until the next Christmas season, Salvation Army officials are hoping that a late surge in donations will help them meet their kettle goals. In Barre only $57,000 has been raised, $13,000 less than this time a year ago. The kettle goal in Barre is $110,000 and anything less than that will mean a decrease in services and fewer people who may be assisted during the holidays and throughout the year. At the same time, requests for assistance have risen dramatically as the economy continues to flounder. Falling short of the goal may have a long-term impact. The money raised through this effort is critical in securing our services for both the Christmas season and throughout the year, said Captain Travis De Long. In Barre, The Salvation Armys Christmas ministry includes the distribution of toys to needy youngsters, food baskets and food vouchers, warm winter coats to name just a few. Money raised

Salvation Army Hopes for Late Surge to Meet Red Kettle Goals

through the kettle program also supports year-round programs such as the Soup Kitchen, Kids Kafe and other social services. Last year more than 2600 individuals were served by The Salvation Army during the holidays and over 10,000 throughout the year. This Christmas over 270 families will be served. The Salvation Army is also in desperate need of volunteers to assist in the kettle efforts. Overall, throughout The Salvation Armys Northern New England Division, which encompasses Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, kettle income is down more than $60,000. The red kettle has been a long-standing tradition with The Salvation Army and, indeed, an endearing sight across the country during the Christmas season. Dating back more than 120 years, the kettle has been an important source of revenue in addition to being an iconic symbol of the holidays.

News from the Library Board of Trustees We still have two open seats on the library board of trustees, which voted last year to increase its size from 5 to as many as 7 members. We thank Alexandra Thayer, who has stepped down, for her years of dedicated service to the community. New trustees in 2012 are Steven Pappas and Monica Light (Jennifer Silverwood stepped down due to other obligations). Sandra Wells, Jan Danziger and Bev Thomas are the other continuing board members. Terms are for ve years and trustees volunteer approximately 3-4 hours each month including during and outside of the monthly trustee meeting. The board now meets monthly on the third Tuesday of each month at 6pm. Interested in applying for one of the seats? Contact Sandra Wells at 454-7315. Strategic Planning Summary For those of you interested in the results of our strategic planning process this summer and fall, weve posted the recommendations the strategic planning steering committee submitted to the board of directors online at http://cutlermemorial.wordpress.com/ Weve already begun to implement some of the recommendations that came out of this process. Weve expanded from 21 to 26 hours per week, including more weekends and evening hours, were applying for several grants to supplement what we ask of taxpayers, and were reaching out to community partners to leverage our resources. Before town meeting, a written response to the steering committees recommendations will be submitted from the board of trustees and posted at the same link listed above for reference by anyone interested. Appropriation Request One of the recommendations that came out of this years strategic planning process was the strong encouragement to signicantly increase our appropriation request. The trustees have determined that the budget weve been operating under is no longer in par with (increased) xed expenses and (increased) use of the library. There is a clear need to budget more for technology hardware and digital content, and for on-going maintenance of the building. There are pressing repairs to the garage roof that well have to nd the resources to address in the coming year; we are also applying for grants to help with that expense (but the work needs to be done whether we secure grants or not). Additionally, the trustees strive to bring the Library Directors wages up to par with what directors with similar training and skills are paid at similarly-sized libraries around the state. Perhaps most importantly, however, is the need to increase the book budget: as more readers become regular patrons

at the Cutler Memorial Library, the new book shelf needs more new books for visitors to browse when they stop by. The increased request reects the decision to double the book budget and increase the technology, building maintenance and staff wages line items. These are our reasons. We hope youll come by and sign our petition, and at town meeting day, support our request.

Buddhists don't try to shove their religious beliefs down people's throats by trying to force their religious displays into tax-funded venues. He ends his commentary by stating his belief that Jesus "really is coming back here, probably very soon" and that "He's not gonna be happy." Why hasn't Jesus returned already? There are several passages in the New Testament that strongly indicate that he would return soon after his death. Examples are Matthew 10:27, 16:28, and 24:34; I Corinthians 7:29; 1 Thessalonians 4:17; and Revelations 1:3 and 22:10. 2 Peter 3:8 ("one day is with the Lord as a thousand years") is sometimes used to explain why Jesus has not returned. According to most Biblical authorities, 2 Peter was written in the second century; Peter was executed in the year 64. 2 Peter is an example of pseudo-epigraphy, a document written by an anonymous author who saw the problem of Jesus' non-return and tried to explain it with a, quite frankly, pathetic rationalization. What fits the facts and makes the most logical sense? (1) That Jesus' father was God who somehow impregnated a young woman, and that Jesus was resurrected and observed by many of his followers afterward, and will someday soon return? Or, (2) That Jesus was, in some ways, a very remarkable person who was crucified about 1980 years ago and can never return because he's dead? John Klimenok, Jr Plainfield

Editor: In his "It's That Time of Year... Again" commentary in the 12-512 issue of The World, G. E. Shuman claims that there is a "war" on Christmas. He is perturbed that "American Christians have to suffer through irritating and unrelenting anti-holiday, insulting news stories from the national media." Citizens having various religious backgrounds, or none at all, pay taxes for the common good and should not have to support religions they don't believe in. To allow religious displays, like creches and crosses, on public property funded by taxes is in conflict with the 1st Amendment to the US Constitution because the government would then be endorsing a specific religion. Mr. Shuman evidently has forgotten or does not care to recognize that there are other holidays that occur in December, like Hanukkah and Kwanzaa. The reason that the anti-holiday sentiment is always aimed at the "Christian holidays" and not "the Muslim or Buddhist holidays" is simply that most Muslims and

Poulos Insurance says...

In the spirit of the holiday season, we extend warmest wishes for a Merry Christmas. May everyone receive all the joys of the season.
From the Employees and Management of Poulos Insurance, Inc.

have occasionally been accused, (primarily by my wife) of not thinking like other people. Im not sure if this is true, as I simply think as I think, and dont really know how other people think. I do know that I like to mentally experience, or ponder the world around me. I especially enjoy history and the things that have survived history and are still with us. I think of things like the old house we live in, and about the fact that these walls, and even the nails that hold together the massive woodwork of the place, were right here, exactly as they are now, on the day I was born. Likewise, they were here, just as I see them now, on the day my father was born. Things like that, thoughts like that, ponderings like that intrigue me a great deal. The antiques around me as I write tonight, including the house itself, are reminders that the days in which they were new were just as real as today is. Each day had weather and sounds and smells and situations and pain and joy and people loving each other, and people hating each other. If this is not how other people think, well, thats just the way it is, and this is just the way I am. Today I have been thinking, in my probably odd way of doing it, about Mary, the mother of Jesus. As a protestant Christian, I think about her son a lot, but not so much about her. Today I have been thinking about what she went through for her son, and what she might have been experiencing in those days surrounding the rst Christmas. The Bible does not say a lot about Mary, and so the world knows little about her. But she was a real, live, feeling, caring person. She was also one without the benet of history, to know the whole story of the very history she was helping to create. Heres my idea of what she may have been thinking on part of that rst, very real and rough Christmas day. I imagine that Mary might have awoken after a short evenings nap, to suddenly realize once again that she had just given birth. Before rising she may have looked up into the rough rafters of the shoddy stable in which she lay, and pondered exactly what was happening to her. Barely more than a child herself, here she was, with an infant son asleep in the stables manger, only inches from

Melodie Lewis (802) 622-0529 melodie.lewis@aol.com

where she slept on the hay-strewn oor. And this was not just a child, but one miraculously born from her own young womb, from her own virgin body. He was a son for which she had been visited by an angel months before, who had proclaimed to her that the child within her would save His people from their sins. Mary may then have been stirred from her thoughts as she heard the baby move a bit, and whimper, where he lay. Still unrested and uneasy, she was somehow comforted by her tired young husbands loud breathing as he slept in the hay, just to her other side. She thought again of the angels visit, and of the hard trip by donkey to get to this town of Bethlehem, so that Joseph could pay his taxes. Mary could have then recalled the bumpy ride, the cold nights along the way, and her husbands smiling glances back at her as he led the beast upon which she rode. She likely remembered the innkeepers gruff voice and awful smell, as he told them to stay in the barn if they had to, and then slammed the door in their faces. The Bible says that she thought about what the shepherds had reported. Their talk included the angel which had spoken to them, and she might have wondered if it were the same angel as had come to her in that seemingly long-ago night. She may have well imagined the heavenly host those shepherds described, and pondered their quick trip to this very place, to see her sacred son. She remembered, only briey, that agonizing thought of whether Joseph really, truly believed what she had said about the angels words, and of the bigger fact, that she had never known a man. Mary would have then arisen to pick up her tiny, sweet son from the manger hay, and then hold this most precious one to her breast. How, as she did so, would she not have also wondered and worried for the future of this nursing infant child, this most Holy One, born in such a noisy, dirty place. None of us can know what Mary actually thought during that wondrous night, but think she surely did, and maybe not like other people. The stable, the cold air, the smell of manure, the hard ground and the soft and dusty hay were as real as was the night itself. So also was her own body; real and sore and tired from childbirth. She certainly considered that the greatest reality of all was that child, which she now held and felt in her arms, none other than the very Savior of the world. But Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart. Luke 2:19.

The Smoke And Mirrors Effect, Georges rst novel, can be seen at amazon. com and barnesandnoble.com. Happy Reading!

Reisss Pieces
By Judy Reiss hen I was a little girl, I always thought that Christmas was the beginning of the calendar year. Christmas was not just the high point of my year, it was the holiday that I anticipated all year long. I loved the thought of seeing the decorations in the stores, around our town and of course, each and every house in our neighborhood. And the anticipation of getting our very own Christmas tree was almost overwhelming. And to tell you the truth, folks, I still feel the same way! I begin shopping for my loved ones early in January and continue throughout the year. Because I no longer work and Malcolm and I are living on our social security, buying throughout the year makes it possible for me to make Christmas special for our family without going into debt. And, of course, I actually love stretching out the spirit of Christmas throughout the year! I want to share with you a story that I have shared with my children and now my grandchildren, and they all still love to hear it and always laugh. I like to think that it shows them that Christmas and the traditions that accompany this holiday are not necessarily made possible with money. So, here it is. When I was growing up, my family didnt have the money to have a big celebration. My brother and I could ask for one thing from Santa and when it was possible, that was what we got. I remember the Christmas that he got a bulldozer and was so excited to receive it that he was almost beside himself. And that same year I had wanted a girl doll more than anything. Well, I guess we didnt have the money for me to have one, so my mother got a cast-off doll from an older cousin and my present was that they sent that girl to a doll hospital and when she came back she had new eyes and a gorgeous head of hair. My mother also made some clothes for her and when I opened that present I thought I was the luckiest girl in the world! But my favorite story about Christmas and growing up was our tree. Every single year until I graduated from college and didnt go home, my father would go to the train station near where he worked in Newark, New Jersey and would buy a bundle of trees for $2.00. He would bring the bundle home and usually there were 3 or 4 trees in it. And then my mother would pick out the best onewhich was always a skinny and really Charlie Brown looking tree. Once she had made her selection, my father would put it into a

stand and then the construction would begin. He would cut all the limbs off the trees that didnt make the selection process. He would then take a drill and make holes all over the trunk of the one sitting in the stand. And then he and my mother would take the pile of limbs and they would carefully select the proper limb for the correct hole. When they were done, they always announced that my brother and I should come and look at the most wonderful, bushy and perfect Christmas tree in the world. And it only cost $2.00! I am not sure about my brother, but I always hated that buildyour-own tree and wanted to be able to go and join my friends in buying a real, God-made-it tree. And I assume that my brother felt the same way because when he moved into his own house, he always had the biggest, bushiest and most gorgeous tree available! And I know he didnt build it. I really cant quite say the same but I will tell you that the presents I give might not be what the media says are the presents that should be given in certain year, but I assure you that we always have a terric looking and very bushy tree! And it is always a natural one and not an articial tree. Although I now think that many of the articial trees are lovely I cant bring myself to consider a tree that I have to build. Nope, I hated it then and I just cant bring myself to do it again. So, the Christmas holiday is almost here and whether you are done shopping and have begun to wrap, or if you are in the middle of the preparations, I have some advice for you. Be sure and take the time to enjoy yourself. Dont panic and worry about anything. Relax, hum a few carols and even eat a few pieces of candy. And of course, sit down, have a cup of tea or coffee and eat a couple of those cookies that you insisted on making. You, too, need to have a relaxing and fun-lled holiday and the only way you can do that is by taking it easy and enjoying what you are doing and not preparing for the holiday in a frenzy! From our house to yours, a heartfelt wish for you and yours to have a healthy, happy and stress-free holiday. All the Reisses will be getting together, except for Adrienne, Mike and Katie Mei who will be celebrating in Colorado with Mikes parents. And although there are so many of us that we have to sit tightly together in whatever house we gather in, we will have a wonderful, memorable and chaotic Christmas celebration. And I wouldnt have it any other way! Merry Christmas and be sure to relax and enjoy and think how lucky we all are to have the opportunity to celebrate any way that we want! Oh, and be sure to eat a cookie for me.

The Peoples House: A History of the Vermont Statehouse

fter much debate about the location of the next Statehouse, a formal vote was taken in 1857; the results were as follows: Montpelier, 116; Burlington, 67; Rutland, 35; Bellows Falls, 8; Middlebury, 1; and Northeld, 1. The vote in the Senate was as follows: Montpelier, 13; Burlington, 11; Rutland, 4; and Middlebury, 1. On February 27, 1857, the legislature selected Montpelier as the capital, 138 to 80. The vote in the Senate was 18 to 11. Edward Walton, editor of Records of Governor and Council, said of the Statehouse, after it had burned down, that any person familiar with the engravings of the ancient Grecian Doric temples, such as the Parthenon at Athens, that purest and noblest of Greek art, which has ever been accepted was the most perfect model of this style will at once recognize in the portico of the State House a perfect copy to the smallest detail, as indeed it was, of one of the best specimens of Grecian architecture. The third Statehouse was 25 percent larger than the previous one. Other changes included improvements for heating and lighting and additional furniture. But, according to Walton, Vermont has a capitol which, for beauty of architecture, solidity of construction, and adaptation to the purposes of legislation, will bear comparison with any other of the much more costly piles which have

Senate Report: by Senator Bill Doyle

Construction of Third Statehouse

since been erected for the same purposes. According to Mary Nye, who wrote Vermont State Houses, The style of architecture (of the new building) is the same as the previous building, being Grecian in type. The Doric portico is the identical structure made for the prior building. The building is surmounted by a cupola and dome. This is surmounted by a statue of architecture by Larkin Goldsmith Mead, the Vermont sculpture. From time to time, many proposals have been made for expending the Statehouse. Several ago, an expansion plan of $9 million was proposed. At this time, I am condent no such sum of money will be expended. For four decades, I have had the honor of serving in the Vermont Statehouse. During that period I recall older legislators living in the Pavilion Building and boarding houses and gathering at the Justin Morgan Room, which is at the Capitol Plaza. These meetings with former legislators created a greater sense of community than in present day, when legislators live in many different places and many more communities. 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.

U.S. Sen. Bernard Sanders

The Department of Health is urging people to get their flu shot, as an early flu season is underway nationally and here in Vermont. Dont wait until someone around you gets sick to get vaccinated, said Patsy Kelso, state epidemiologist for infectious disease. It takes up to two weeks for the shot to be effective, so do not delay this year. Get your shot. Flu vaccine is recommended for everyone age 6 months and older. Flu viruses spread mainly through droplets spread through the air when people with flu cough, sneeze or talk. You can also get the flu by touching a surface or object that has flu virus on it and then touching your own mouth, eyes or nose. Actions that everyone can take to stay healthy and keep illness from spreading: - Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or your sleeve every time you sneeze or cough.

Flu Season Underway

U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy

- Wash your hands often and well with soap and water. - Use a hand sanitizer if soap and water are not available. - Keep hands away from your eyes, nose and mouth. - Stay home from work, school or public places when youre sick. Flu symptoms typically include fever, headache, tiredness, dry cough, sore throat, runny or stuffy nose, and body aches. People at high risk of developing serious flu-related complications are: - Pregnant women - Young children, especially infants - People 65 years of age and older - People at any age with certain chronic medical conditions (such as asthma, diabetes, heart disease).

"SPIKE," of East Montpelier, passed away peacefully at home in East Montpelier on December 9. His wife, Janet MacLeod, and two children, Loring Holden and Jessica Sherwood, both of Providence, R.I., were with him, as were other family and friends. Spike was born on Aug. 7, 1938, in St. Johnsbury, to Polly B. and A. John Holden Jr. Spike graduated from Montpelier High School, attended Phillips Exeter Academy, then attended and graduated from Harvard College cum laude in 1961. He obtained a master's degree in anthropology from Indiana University and continued these studies at Harvard University. Spike was a pilot with American Airlines from 1967 to 1998, then returned in retirement to East Montpelier. Spike pursued a variety of interests. An avid skier, he captained the Harvard ski team and trained for Olympic tryouts before being sidelined by a leg injury. For several years he competed in motorcycle races and distance running, completing the Boston Marathon several times. He briefly mastered the unicycle. In tennis, he became an instructor and amateur tournament participant. He obtained a license for piloting gliders, established a sideline business, named Mood Elevator, offering rides in a hot-air balloon, and later sold firewood. He played the trombone, sousaphone and string bass, most recently in the Montpelier City Band, Montpelier Community Orchestra and summer jazz-band camp. In his late teenage years, he studied modern dance with Martha Graham. He found great satisfaction in volunteering as a teacher of English as a second language. He was a compassionate friend, and although he held few if any memberships in formal organizations, he was a generous donor to many. His deepest avocational pursuit was his study of spiritism, including meditation, reincarnation, out-of-body experience, communication with non-corporeal entities, and other issues of high consciousness. Perhaps it was this, together with the abiding love of family and friends, that enabled him to face departure from this life with such courage and grace. In addition to his wife and two children, Spike leaves two grandchildren and three sisters, Sarah "Sally" Thompson, of Montpelier, Elizabeth "Bonnie" Carter, of Newton Centre, Mass., and Martha Holden, of East Montpelier. A memorial service is planned for Saturday, Dec. 22, 2012. It will be at 2pm at the parish house of the Old Meeting House in East Montpelier Center. All are welcome.

Ray Keyser, business education teacher at Chelsea High School for 26 years, and business education teacher at Spaulding High School in Barre for 10 years.

Additionally over the years, she had been a part-time court stenographer, dispatcher and secretary at the Orange County Sheriff's Department, substitute postal carrier for the Star Route, and typist for various authors and businesses in the area. She was a member of the United Church of Chelsea and Delta Kappa Gamma, an honorary society for educators.

FREER, NEWELL EASTMAN, 86, of Northfield, died December 8, at his home. He was born in Groton on March 5, 1926, the son of Lester and Linnie (Johnson) Freer. He attended school in Groton and graduated from St. Johnsbury Academy. He served as a "Rocketboatman" in the U. S. Navy from 1943-1946. The "Rocketboatmen" were part of a small, but elite, group of soldiers who were the first to push the invasion on Omaha and Utah beaches during World War II. Newell received congressional recognition and was honored in 2011 in Patterson, N.J., for his honored service. Mr. Freer was a career Vermont state trooper, having served from 1955 until his retirement in 1980 at the rank of sergeant. Although he served much of his time on the road out of the Middlesex barracks, Mr. Freer had been on the governor's protection team, including service as VSP driver and pilot for Gov. Phil Hoff. He was also assigned to the Vermont Statehouse security team for several years. Following his retirement from the VSP, Newell served as police chief in Barre City for a few years, as well as acting police chief in the communities of Northfield, Hinesburg and Milton. He was a member of the Retread Motor Cycle Club and the VT State Police Retirees Assoc. He was very active in the Central Vermont Humane Society, helping facilitate the construction of one of their earlier facilities. He was a frequent volunteer at Mayo Healthcare in Northfield, Berlin Health and Rehabilitation and Montpelier Senior Citizen Center. Newell had a great passion for music and was a talented pianist, but his true love was the tenor saxophone. He played saxophone in several brass, swing and polka bands, and it was not unusual for him to play several "gigs" each week, traveling all over New England. Most recently, he was a member of the bands Sweet Jamm, The Over 60 Band, The McClures, and he was co-founder of the Green Mountain Swing Band. Mr. Freer had once owned and piloted his own plane. He enjoyed motorcycles, loved animals, camping with his motor home and doing carpentry. He especially loved church suppers and would travel many miles to ensure he made it back to the Chicken Pie Supper in Groton every year! He is survived by his "adopted family," Cynthia Benway and the late Harold Dale Benway, of Bristol, and their children and grandchildren; special friends Marion Goodwin, Thelma Corey, Gloria Danforth, Jean Villa; and many friends and past colleagues. He was predeceased by his sister, Madeline Freer. GOUTELL, MARTHA VEIT CLEVELAND, died peacefully December 10, at Mayo Nursing Home in Northfield. Born in New York July 6, 1917, she was the daughter of Friedrich Veit and Martha (Zepf) Veit. As a young woman, she was a model in New York. She married Charles Goodhue "Goodie" Cleveland Oct. 15, 1938, and raised their sons, Frederick and Peter, while Goodie worked in public relations for Westinghouse in New York, commuting by train to their home at

Cross River. In 1951, the family relocated to Randolph Center to establish "Rexden," raising purebred Guernsey cattle in partnership with Goodie's parents, Rex and Denise Cleveland. She was very active on the farm and was also a medical secretary at Gifford Memorial Hospital in Randolph. The herd was sold in the early 1960s, and Goodie died in 1964, ending their 25-year marriage. Her second marriage was to an old friend, Carl Goutell, in 1966, and she moved to his family homestead on Poole Hill, Bridgewater, N.H., where she made many lifetime friends who were helpful and supportive of her in her later years. After Carl died in 1991, she summered at their new home, "Harumba," in Bridgewater and wintered at Anna Maria Island in Florida. She moved to Montpelier in 2004 to be with and close to Fred and Nancy. In the early years, she and Goodie were skiers, driving to Killington in a rumble-seat Model A Ford to ski on wooden skis with beartrap bindings. She was an avid hiker and mushroom forager, and particularly enjoyed swimming in Newfound Lake. She is survived by sons Frederick Cleveland and wife, Nancy, of Montpelier, and Peter Cleveland and wife, Judy, of North Fort Myers, Fla. She is also survived by five grandchildren and six great-grandchildren with whom she was chief bubble-maker on all family occasions.

SPAULDING, ALICE P., 81, of the Tilden House in Barre, passed away peacefully on December 7, following a period of declining health. She was born Nov. 14, 1931, in Rochester, N.H., the daughter of Paul Burley and Hazel Bunker. Alice resided in Vermont for many years, and was a wonderful mother, grandmother and great-grandmother. Survivors include a son, Eddie Perkins, and wife Kathy, of Georgia; two daughters, Rachel Thrasher and partner Bernard Morris, and Brenda Partlow and partner Dwayne Gibson, all of Barre; eight grandchildren; 14 great-grandchildren; two sisters, Madlyn Gladyzs, of Manchester, N.H., and Shirley Bunker, of New Hampshire; and several nieces and nephews. She was predeceased by her husband, Leland Spaulding, and daughters Linda Davis Sanderson and Cindy Davis.

Happy 1st Birthday Madelynn Grace DuPont

Your Mommy and Daddy prayed every night until the day you were born that we would have a beautiful, healthy and happy little girl. We were blessed with such an amazing daughter. Your Mommy and Daddy love you so much. -Kevin & Nicole DuPont

Joey Klein of Littlewood Farm in Plainfield was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award from Food Works at Two Rivers Center at their annual Farmer-Chef Stakeholder Meeting on December 10. Each year, Food Works recognizes an outstanding farmer from the region who has grown fresh local produce for Food Works four-season Farm-to-Table program, selling and distributing locally-grown food to schools, Senior Meals, childcare centers and food shelves, as well as to restaurants, state cafeterias and private buying clubs. In a ceremony before two dozen people at the U-32 cafeteria, Food Works recognized Joey for his 30-plus years growing the highest quality, organic, nutrient-rich food for the central Vermont community.

Plainfield Farmer Joey Klein Receives Lifetime Achievement Award

In presenting the award, Martin Kemple of Food Works noted Joeys strong commitment to food justice over many decades, contributing his produce to food shelves, seniors and the needy throughout his long career. He has also been a farmer mentor for many, including a teaching career that has included courses on sustainable agriculture at the New England Culinary Institute. Today he is an enormously respected elder, Kemple noted, for his time-honored wisdom caring for the soil and caring for the community by making local food accessible to everyone regardless of income or ability. Holding the Golden Pitchfork Award aloft, Joey told the crowd: I just think its really important that us local growers grow food for our community, so that people know how its grown, where it came from, and who grew it.

icture it: A boy is raised in poverty and obscurity in Haiti. Lets call him... Robert Marler. Young Mr. Marler starts playing Calypso, a music style that is popular in the Caribbean but nowhere else on earth. By age 30, Marler becomes an international sensation. His songs are known everywhere in the world - from Stockholm to Seoul and from Montreal to Mogadishu. Age age 36, Marler dies of cancer. And with him dies the entire music genre. Nobody ever buys a new Calypso record again. That is effectively the summary of Bob Marleys life. It is a unique success story. Marley is an entertaining documentary about a fascinating man. Documentarian Kevin MacDonald does a great job of chronicling Bob Marleys humble beginnings and meteoric rise in popularity. And MacDonald does a surprisingly lousy job of showing us who Bob Marley really was and what motivated him to become an almost Dalai Lama-esque force for peace in the world. MacDonald introduces us to Jamaica in the 1950s, a land of unimaginable poverty. If you have no money in America, you can probably nd someone who is willing to give you a little food and perhaps even a

couch to crash on in front of a TV. In Bob Marleys Jamaica, poverty meant living in a rickety rural shack without power or running water and owning no shoes. From Marleys backward, isolated Third World home came Marleys strange religion - Rastafarianism. Im not eager to tear down another persons faith, but lets keep it real: if you honestly think that the Emperor of Ethiopia is the reincarnation of Jesus and a living God on earth, youve probably been smoking too much ganja. Though none of us can relate to Bob Marleys upbringing, we all can appreciate his music. You dont need to be an insightful documentarian to explain why Marley became popular. Its because he had a cool public persona and a bunch of extremely catchy pop songs. Simple as that. But while his music is universally relatable, the man remains a mystery. In the personal interviews that MacDonald shows us, Bob Marley doesnt reveal anything profound about himself or his worldview. Indeed, he barely spoke comprehensible English. MacDonald lets Marley off the hook for his personal aws. Marley was an absentee father and a serial philanderer who had 11 children with 9 different mothers. But, to be fair, I wouldnt have the guts or the desire to make a movie that belittles one of the most beloved musicians of the 20th Century, either. Bob Marley was undeniably a remarkable man. And Marley is a worthwhile documentary.

HEALTH CARE
LOOKING FOR A MIRACLE/ Lose 20 pounds in one week? This is almost impossible! Weight loss ads must reflect the typical experiences of the diet users.

When you see words like these be skeptical. Before you invest your time and money call the ATTORNEY GENERALS CONSUMER ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, at 1-800-649-2424. WANT A CURE-ALL? Health fraud is a business that sells false hope. Beware of unsubstantiated claims for health products and services. There are no Quick Cures - no matter what the ad is claiming. TIP: DO NOT rely on promises of a money back guarantee! Watch out for key words such as exclusive secret, amazing results, or scientific breakthrough.

This holiday season, give the gift of shelter. This holiday season, give the gift of shelter.
More people than ever before are asking for our help. Thats why were asking for yours.

By Brooke Salls, Resource Coordinator, Good Samaritan Haven Skip can tell you where everyone sleeps. He knows everyone on the tracks, and down by the river. Hes spent 30 years being homeless, living for short times here and there, staying in a shelter when it was bitterly cold and dangerous to be out. But he always felt that urge to hit the open road, where he could be himself and no one could tell him what to do. He likes to collect things. Useful things, things for living outdoors, fun things, bikes, clothes, a coffee maker, shoes, posters. He is very protective of the things he has found. Skip struggled for years with work, after an accident while he was in the military. With no money, there was no apartment. Skip had led for social security disability in the past, but the military lost records of the explosion 30 years ago that killed everyone else around him. Without a visible disability and no proof, he was out of luck. He couldnt remember when he was born. He couldnt focus and became frightened and suspicious easily. He grew to enjoy the freedom that living on the tracks brought him, and the friends he made. They were people who just liked him for who he was, a gregarious man quick with a joke and a smile. They didnt care if he hadnt had a shower in a few weeks or if he kept things he found near the tracks. Skip tried living in shelters, but he struggled. They talked to him about an apartment, but he wanted space for his things. Earlier this year, Skip returned to the Good Samaritan Haven.

After 30 Years Of Being Homeless, A Haven Guest Gets A Home Of His Own.

The Long Road Home

He asked for help. He was welcomed with open arms, and we began to work together to make his dream of having my own place a reality. He did not have any income. He needed glasses. He needed Foodstamps. He needed good clothing, and insurance, and medications to treat symptoms of living without treatment for years. The journey was grueling for everyone. Skip struggled to be patient and not go back to the tracks. He felt like this was his chance. Guests at the Good Samaritan Haven struggled to tolerate Skips things and his hygiene habits from years of sleeping outside. Staff and volunteers struggled to accommodate Skips challenges and maintain the rules and needs of the Haven. Despite the incredibly diligent work of a team that included Haven staff, his pastor, and several other agencies, the longer it took, the more it felt like an apartment was slipping through Skips ngers. Skip has his own apartment now. It took 9 months. We never found a copy of the report of the explosion,but doctors were able to document its effects on his body. He was nally able to receive disability. But his journey was not over yet. It took an additional few months to nd a compassionate landlord who would accommodate his needs, and his things. Skips excitement the day he moved in was palpable. The air around him was charged with excitement and he grinned from ear to ear, telling everyone to come and see his new apartment. For the rst time in 30 years, he has a place to call home.

Pez Dispensers
Q: I have several Pez dispensers in the Peanuts series, including Charlie Brown, Snoopy, Snoopy as Joe Cool and Lucy (the one known as Psycho Lucy). These keep knocking around in my sock drawer, and I need to make a decision whether to sell or toss them. -- Billy, Fenton, Mo. A: I found all of your dispensers in The Collectors Guide to Pez: Identification and Price Guide by Shawn Peterson. According to Peterson, values are as follows: Charlie Brown ($1-$20, depending on version), Snoopy and Snoopy as Joe Cool ($1-$3), and Psycho Lucy ($75-$90. If you have the Charlie Brown with eyes closed, which was not produced in the U.S., you have a dispenser worth about $50. *** Q: I have a paperback of Some Like It Hot, based on the Billy Wilder film from 1959. It has a little wear but the cover picture is still bright and the content is complete. -- Art, Morro Bay, Calif. A: Your Signet paperback is valued in the $25-$175 range depending on condition. Other movie-related paperbacks include Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, ($10-$90), Elmer Gantry ($2-$35) and Elvis Flaming Star ($5-$90). As

Come Home To A Clean House!

Now, you can!

you can see, condition is extremely important in determining how much a paperback is worth in todays market. *** Q: I have a luncheon plate commemorating the Coronation of King Edward VIII in May 1937. I purchased it for $35 at a flea market. Was I fleeced? -- Susan, Naperville, Ill. A: Since you didnt identify the maker, I can only give you a general idea of its value. I have seen similar items in shops priced in the $25 to $45 range, depending on design and condition. *** Q: I have inherited a collection of 160 Danish Christmas plates, including some duplicates. My big question is, should I keep them or sell them? -- Jessica, Ramona, Calif. A: Its no secret that our economy is still sluggish, and unless you need the money, I suggest you keep them until the collectible marketplace has improved. You might monitor eBay to see what current values are like. Write to Larry Cox in care of King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

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.

ARIES (March 21 to April 19) An old adversary wants to make amends over the holidays. The decision is yours. But wouldnt it be nice to share the upcoming new year with another friend? TAURUS (April 20 to May 20) As news of your work gets around, expect to receive a special holiday gift from influential contacts who could help you launch your new projects in the new year. GEMINI (May 21 to June 20) Instead of fussing over what you didnt do to prepare for the holidays, relax and enjoy the kudos for a job truly well done. A happy surprise awaits you early next year. CANCER (June 21 to July 22) The best way to shake off lingering holiday blues is to join loved ones in the fun and festivities of this special time. A confusing situation starts to make sense in upcoming weeks. LEO (July 23 to August 22) Special emotional rewards mark this holiday time for Leos and Leonas who are able to open up to new relationships and the possibilities they offer in the upcoming year. VIRGO (August 23 to September 22) Your efforts to make the holidays especially memorable for some people will be rewarded in some unexpected (but very welcome) ways in the upcoming year. LIBRA (September 23 to October 22) Be assured that your efforts to make this holiday special for everyone wont go unnoticed by those who could make some important changes in your life. SCORPIO (October 23 to November 21) Lots of folks want you to light up their holiday parties. But try to take some quiet time twixt those glittering galas to spend with some very special people. SAGITTARIUS (November 22 to December 21) While the current round of holiday revels has your social life on the fast track, someone special might want to keep pace with you next year, as well. CAPRICORN (December 22 to January 19) Enjoy all the fun you deserve at this holiday time. However, dont lose sight of the need to check out some of the changes the new year is expected to bring. AQUARIUS (January 20 to February 18) What happens during this holiday time can help clear up some of the confusion jeopardizing a once-stable relationship. Follow your instincts on what to do next. PISCES (February 19 to March 20) Your holidays are brightened by new friends eager to become part of your life. But dont forget to spend time with that one special person. (You know who!) BORN THIS WEEK: You have the ability to encourage people to reach their potential by setting an example with your own efforts.

A: Unfortunately, Im not Dear Abby, so I dont want to step into personal territory by suggesting how to handle relatives. I might be able to provide some suggestions on cutting the electric bill a bit and preserving some of your sanity. You probably wont be able to change their sitting-around habits (presumably watching television or tapping away on their laptops, if you say theyre running up the electric bill). Talk with your wife about getting away together for an evening or two during their visit, or schedule a get-together with your friends one night. To save electricity turn the heat a few degrees cooler (or turn the air conditioning a few degrees warmer, since Florida weather can be tricky in December). Not out of your comfort zone, but just a little less intense. Running the central air or heat less can knock a little bit off of that electric bill. Shut off any unused rooms by closing the registers and then shutting the doors. If you have Christmas lights indoors or out, light them for only a few hours each evening. As far as your workshop goes, thats pretty easy. Set limits. Politely ask, or have your wife ask, your in-laws to stay away from the shop area. You dont need to give an excuse. As added insurance, lock the door to the shop -- as long as it doesnt impede safe exit from the house in an emergency. HOME TIP: The home workshop can be a welcome escape from a hectic holiday schedule. Make some time to work on a project or just organize your workspace this season.

NOW HERES A TIP

By JoAnn Derson Need a quick batch of cookies? Keep a box mix of cake on hand. Instead of the listed ingredients, add two eggs and a half-cup of oil to the mix. Mix and shape, then bake at 350 degrees F for 10 minutes. They are really good, and you can get pretty creative. Inexpensive gift idea: cute holiday coffee mug with a bar of chocolate, a packet of hot cocoa or instant coffee, a peppermint stick and a decorative holiday pick or spray. Place inside a gallonsize zipper-top bag, tie with a ribbon, then trim off the zipper-top, leaving just the plastic. Looks nice. Instead of going out and buying extra items to have on hand for guests, just borrow from your neighbors. Extra towels, place settings, silverware, kitchen appliances: Its a pretty good bet that someone on your street has it for you to borrow. If you dont know your neighbors well enough to ask, maybe you should start planning a get-to-know-you party right now. Inexpensive gift idea: On the front of an empty photo album or scrapbook, print out and arrange color photos of your recipient in a collage. Glue the photos to the front of the album and cover with a decoupage glaze, like Mod Podge. Let dry and glaze again. Youve just made a one-of-a-kind gift! When holiday cookie time comes, I keep a plastic pitcher of hot water in the sink. I toss cookie cutters into it when I am done with them, so the corners are soaking. They really seem to only need a rinse and a quick brush-off afterward. Mine dont get caked up with dough. -- Jill C., via email Send your tips to Now Heres a Tip, c/o King Features Weekly Service, P.O.

Last Weeks Weather While most were awaiting a change in the rather dull and boring weather pattern featuring last week, the highlights featured a few nights with clear skies and strong radiational cooling and seepage of colder Canadian air seeping into parts of the Northeast Kingdom where snow depths were limited but did the job to make for rather cold temperatures with 1 degrees for Averill and Canaan last Sunday morning. Precipitation was light and mostly a nuisance until the first of a series of hefty storms worked into Vermont from the southwest. Over Sunday night into Monday morning nearly 6 of snow fell at Newport. A sleety snow, mixed with freezing rain in some western Vermont locations last Sunday night making for more accidents. Vermont Weather Stats from last week ending Monday the 17th of December Highest temperature: 57 degrees at Sunderland Monday the 10th Lowest temperature: 1 degrees at Averill and Canaan last Sunday the morning the16th Heaviest one day rainfall: 1.03 inches ending Tuesday morning the 11th Most Snowfall: 5.9 inches at Newport ending Monday morning the 17th Most snow on the ground: 7 atop Vermont highest Mountain Mt. Mansfield Sunday the 16th Global Temperature Facts For Last Week Last weeks hottest temperature on planet earth was 113 degrees Catamarca Aero. (Argentina)Last weeks coldest temperature was minus 67 degrees at Delyankir (Russia) Atmospheric Chemistry Continues To Change Early December CO2 levels at the Mauna Loa Observatory were 393.50 and going up. This was compared to 390.94 last year 2011. Thats up 2.56 in just one year good lord! Northeast U.S. Winters Projected to be much Warmer and Wetter by Mid Century A new study using high-resolution climate models suggests that temperatures in the Northeast U.S. will be significantly warmer in all seasons in the next 30 years, but especially the winter. Winters are also projected to be wetter, with more rain

than snow. This climate study, which was run by University of Massachusetts scientists is posted in the current issue of the Journal of Geophysical Research. The study provides the highest resolution climate projections to date for the Northeast from Pennsylvania to Maine for the period from 2041 to 2070, according to Michael Rawlins and Raymond Bradley of the Climate System Research Center at UMass Amherst, with Henry Diaz of NOAAs Climate Diagnostics Center, Boulder, Colo. Some key findings from the report conclude that here in the Northeast region is projected to warm by some 3.5 to 5.5 F by mid-century, with localized warming approaching 6.3 F during winter. Putting this into better perspective by calculating a 4 to 5 degree F. increase in average temperature I estimate that winter temperatures in Boston by mid-century will feel more like what Philadelphia is today if this study ends up on target. The same goes for Philadelphia during mid-century having winter temperatures similar to what Richmond, VA has today. Wetter Winters Ahead Precipitation will likely go up, especially in the winter, but not uniformly. The only clear signal of change for precipitation is noted in winter, which appears to be heading toward wetter conditions, consistent with current trends, Rawlins says. Winter precipitation is projected to rise significantly above natural weather variability, around 12 to 15 percent greater from southwest Pennsylvania to northern Maine, with the exception of coastal areas, where projected increases are lower. But we shouldnt expect more total seasonal snowfall, he adds. Combined with the model-projected temperature trends, much of the increase will occur as rain. Were losing the snow season. It is contracting, with more rain in early and late winter. The study assumes that greenhouse gas emissions will continue to rise going from nearly 400 ppm today to between 500-600 ppm in 2070. Bradley and Rawlins acknowledge that this outlook represents the most aggressive, most troubling higher emissions trajectory scenario for CO2 levels, but they point out that so far there is little evidence that society will act to appreciably change the current rate of increase. Weather Trends Ahead Winter Solstice occurs this Friday at 6:11 AM. This marks an important point where the longest night and shortest days occurs, but not exactly due to the earth not being completely perfectly round. The sun will reach the Tropic of Capricorn in the southern hemispheres summer. After Friday, the amount of daylight will begin to increase, but till then its the darkest before the dawn so to speak. The storm system that brought rain due to warm air aloft Tuesday and then changed back to more snow showers will taper off today (Wednesday) as scattered snow showers with some

minor additional accumulations. This system had originally looked like all snow, but all we can say is shoulda-wouldacoulda. For Thursday we might see an actual dry day and per-

Mount Mansfield Summit Station snow at the stake shows a dearth of snowfall and snow depth. Our recent lazy snows so far has melted some with frequent thaws. We have already significantly eaten into the start of the 20122013 winter season. It should be noted snowfall can significantly jump and catch up, and in recent years (not including last year) the jump in snow depth on Vermonts highest mountain has very significant about this time of year.

haps even a few breaks of sunshine after a rather bleak period of gray skies. Our next major weather maker unfortunately was not looking good for all snow either. The weather pattern has been featuring a storm track bringing in too much warm air on its front end. Thus expect a messy wintry mix that should begin sometime late Thursday night and affect the region Friday with more slippery travel. One better thing for snow lovers is that the warm air looks to punch in with the storm for a brief time before going back to all snow later in the day on Friday. Snow showers and up-sloping snows in a northwesterly flow appear to last through this entire weekend with mostly light to moderate amounts on valley floors, but perhaps some hefty amounts at the ski resorts along the spine of the Green Mountains with a slow but steady accrual. This could be just in time ahead of the Christmas Holiday. It also appeared per European Computer modeling, that the snow showers, snow squalls and flurries very well may linger quite a bit lasting into Christmas Eve. This would be a radical change from disappointing frequent rains and ups and downs.
