This truckload of 30,000-pounds of food will be distributed throughout Vermont thanks to a $15,020 donation made by Lennys Shoe & Apparel and its generous customers. Pictured from left: Amanda Cashin, Marketing Director, Lennys Shoe & Apparel; Bobbie Jo Roby, District Manager, Lennys Shoe & Apparel; John Sayles, CEO, Vermont Foodbank; Todd McCarthy, Co-Owner, Lennys Shoe & Apparel.
On Saturday, October 26, Vermonters shopped till they dropped and raised more than $15,000 to fight hunger. During the 4th annual Charity Sale, Lennys Shoe & Apparel and its customers collectively raised $15,020 for the Vermont Foodbank. Last week, Lennys co-owner Todd McCarthy presented that donation to Vermont Foodbank CEO John Sayles. What an incredible donation! said Sayles. We are deeply grateful to Lennys and their loyal customers for their years of partnership. Together we are ensuring that our neighbors have the food they need during times of great need. Lennys customers were encouraged to make a donation to the Vermont Foodbank in exchange for a VIP ticket to the one day Charity Sale featuring exclusive storewide savings. 100% proceeds from each VIP ticket sold went directly to the Vermont Foodbank. In addition to the ticket proceeds, Lennys also donated a percentage of the days total sales. This donation translates to 45,060 meals for Vermont children, families and seniors who experience hunger. Our customers have astounded us once again with their generosity, said McCarthy. To date, we have now donated $33,431.04 to the Vermont Foodbank.

Longtime Norwich University Biology Professor Lauren Howard was inducted as a fellow of the Vermont Academy of Arts and Sciences (VAAS) at the annual VAAS Fellows Luncheon held in Middlebury in September. Howard joined the Norwich University Biology Department in 1976 and was named a professor in 1993. He has served as chair of the department (1991-2006), dean of the summer school (1991), associate vice president for Academic Affairs (1990-91) and chaired a number of important university committees including the University Curriculum Planning Committee and the original General Education Task Force. He is an expert in botany, specifically on woody plants, and has established an important herbarium at Norwich. A recipient of the Homer L. Dodge Teaching Award in 1979, he remains an outstanding teacher, a strong colleague and a mentor of new faculty. Howard enhanced the teaching efforts of the biology program by producing Principles of Biology Lab Manual for use in classes. Howard has been an active member of the VAAS board since 1988, serving as president three times (for a total of 12 years), vice president for five years and is currently acting treasurer. His citation read: For your outstanding teaching and mentoring of students and colleagues over a period of more than thirty years; for sharing your knowledge, through lecturing and writing about the botanical world; and for your selfless volunteer work with the Academy and other organizations, we are honored to welcome you as a Fellow of the Vermont Academy of Arts and Sciences with all of the rights, privileges and responsibilities thereof. It was certainly a surprise and honor to be named a fellow of the Vermont Academy of Arts and Sciences, said Professor Lauren Howard. Having been on the VAAS board for 25 years, I have seen the wonderful work the society has done. Other recipients of the honor this year are writers Chris Bohjalian and Julia Alvarez, artist Sabra Field and scientist A. Paul Krapcho.

The Barre Kiwanis Club and the Spaulding High School Key Club, with the help of Price Chopper, are once again combining their efforts to solicit turkeys to supply the local food shelves. Last year the groups were able to give 120 turkeys to Central Vermont Community Action, Hedding Methodist Food Shelf, St. Monicas Food Shelf, Websterville Food Shelf and the Presbyterian Church. A $10.00 donation helps buy a 12 14 lb. turkey. You can make a check out to Barre Kiwanis for the purchase of a turkey, and mail it to P.O. Box 724, Barre, VT 05641, or give your donation to a Kiwanis or Key Club member.
You can also purchase a turkey at Price Chopper, letting them know at the register that you are donating the turkey, and they will store it for the turkey drive. Turkeys need to be delivered to the food shelves during the week of November 18th, so please donate between Monday November 4th and Thursday November 21st. The sooner the better in helping to plan buying and delivering the turkeys. In these economically hard times, Barre Kiwanis Club and SHS Key Club hope to help those less fortunate, and wish everyone a warm, safe and loving holiday dinner. Please donate to the turkey drive if you can.

with our snow plows, snow shovels, and/or snow blowers... because we always do. I think that it may only be that we forget, in the heat of summer, and the mildness of a comfortable fall such as this, that winter always comes. Yes, it always comes. But, I am now considering that the predictions about the hard and cold coming winter may be prompted by something more than forgetfulness. The comments about the approaching weather may be because, deep down, we, somehow, want the cold to come. Some of us, myself included, do not enjoy the cold, but we do enjoy the changing of the seasons. One person actually, recently, told me that she feels that we, in the north, have weather attention deficit disorder. (Her words.) She stated that she feels that we are always impatient for a change of the seasons, no matter which change we are facing. After all, cold means cozy fires; cold means close times with loved ones, the unexpected holidays of school closings, and being trapped at home in a blizzard, with nothing to do but drink hot chocolate or coffee and stare out at the somehow-blessed falling excuse for laziness today. There is a bit of abandon and romanticism in the very idea of being out of control of the weather, and of being confined to sit by the fire and wait for the terrible storm to pass. This time of year, even our language changes a bit, as we ready for the coming season. People talk of buttoning-up for winter, in a battendown-the-hatches sort of way. We go about our yearly winterizing duties, and some stockup on emergency essentials. We are anxious, strangely, to be seasonally tucked in; to be made safe, warm, and ready for winters onslaught. I have never loved winter, but still have not only cleaned the furnace of our old home this fall, but have amassed, under the carport, a pile of split wood and sticks to fuel the fireplace on exceptionally cold evenings. In truth, the fireplace is not necessary. It is but a comforting, aromatic addition to the inevitable seasonal situation which will soon be upon us. Even though I do hate the cold, I love that fireplace, which, strangely, is useful only IN the cold. Its even darker now, and Im thinking seriously of abandoning this chilly porch swing for a warmer spot on the couch just the other side of the window pane behind me. Hopefully, Ill be back out here on future evenings, until the coolness and the calendar convince me to build a fire and button up. Georges World, a new 740 page collection of Georges columns from The World, is available at xlibris.com, amazon.com, barnesandnoble. com and your favorite bookstore. The Smoke And Mirrors Effect, Georges first novel, can be seen at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com. Happy Reading!

Thanks to an all-volunteer statewide effort, the ninth annual Wheels for Warmth tire recycle and resale event raised a record $35,000 for emergency fuel assistance programs this year. All of the funds from tire sales, disposal fees and contributions go directly to emergency fuel programs at Central Vermont Community Action Council, the Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity, Northeast Kingdom Community Action, and BROC Community Action in Southwestern Vermont. Since Lt. Governor Phil Scott established the program in 2005, Wheels for Warmth has raised more than $213,500 for emergency fuel assistance, sold more than 11,000 safe, donated tires, and recycled almost 18,000 unsafe, unusable tires. This year Wheels for Warmth sold 1,350 safe, donated tires, and recycled 2,400 unsafe, unusable tires, a significant jump from the 1,700 tires recycled in 2012. This jump is due in large part to additional tire drop-off locations at Bond Auto stores in Bradford, Rutland, St. Albans, and St. Johnsbury, as well as drop-off locations at Sen. Dick Mazzas Store in Colchester and Village Grocery in Waitsfield. All of these drop-off locations were operating for two weeks before the tire sale at DuBois Construction in Montpelier on Saturday, Oct. 26. The footprint of Bond Auto stores allows us to collect tires from other areas within the state, so we can extend the program outside of the central Vermont region, said Mark Mast of Bond Auto. This translates into even more tires being resold and recycled. Thanks to the many volunteers at Wheels for Warmth, we had a record year, which means that we will be able to keep so many more families warm this winter, said Hal Cohen, executive director of Central Vermont Community Action Council. Tires were also donated on Thursday, Oct. 24, and Friday, Oct. 25, at Casella Waste Management in Williston, and DuBois Construction in Montpelier. It is great to help communities recycle tires with 100 percent of the funds raised going to help Vermonters heat their homes, said Michael Casella of Casella Waste Management. I am from Rutland and expanding the program to Rutland and other areas increased our tire recycling efforts by 45 percent. We are proud to help do our part in the communities we serve. Tires meeting inspection standards were sold for a maximum of $25 each on Oct. 26. Vermonters began arriving at DuBois Construction as early as 11:30pm the night before to be first in line for available tires when the sale began at 7am. It was a cold day, I was lucky to be under the tent grilling food, said Sen. Dick Mazza (D-Grand Isle). Phil and I may be from different political parties but Im so impressed with what hes accomplished over the last decade. Im proud to be a member of his Wheels for Warmth team. Tires that didnt meet state inspection standards were recycled through Casella Waste Management. Casella donates 100 percent of the $4 recycling fee to the home heating program. Bond Auto donated $2,500 to be used toward media and advertising expenses, ensuring that all sale and recycling proceeds will go to the fuel assistance fund. The company collected $2,660 in recycling fees at their four drop-off locations, a big boost for the fund. As a result of this state-wide effort, a portion of the total funds raised will go to community action councils in those regions. Thanks to the generosity of business sponsors: Bond Auto, Casella Waste Management, Radio Vermont Group, Troy Kingsbury and the Village Grocery in Waitsfield, Dick Mazzas Store in Colchester, Accura Printing, Always on Time Signs and Design, Capitol Grounds, Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles, Associated General Contractors, DuBois Construction, Inc., WDEV, and individual volunteers, all costs associated with promoting and implementing Wheels for Warmth are covered without using program funds.

Part 1: by Heather Kralik A time bank is a network to exchange skills and talents with other members without using money. About a year and a half ago, I was considering changing jobs and retiring as the librarian at the Barre Town Heather Kralik School. I searched want ads, Craigslist, and The World for possible jobs that might fit my specific skills. As a librarian, I knew a great deal about childrens books but I also had management skills, could stage events, and knew how to use resources. Luckily, I landed an interview as the receptionist at the Reach time bank. Within a month, I became the Outreach Coordinator which meant I had to amp up my learning curve and learn new computer applications as well as how to navigate social media. Since then, the Reach time bank merged with the Onion River Exchange, we have gained over 175 members, we have exchanged over 20,000 hours in the past five years, and retooled the way we do business so members are increasingly engaged. But it wasnt the new skill set that changed my life, it was being a time bank member. Through my time banking exchanges I have learned my community is amazingly abundant and resourceful with skills, services, and talents to share. I know I can rely on Cecile for business advice, go to Rebecca when I am achy and in need of a massage, get my computer fixed by Stan, and recently Bernadeth made Sri Lankan food for my Happy Birthday dinner. I have tutored my towns crossing guard how to upload photos, created a watercolor to be used for thank you cards, dusted Jens house after a post construction mess, and weeded Elizabeths garden. Time banking has changed the way I engage and experience my community. I am meeting people that I never would have met otherwise, helping others, and saving money. When I walk down the street I see members of the community whom I have met through the time bank and know how each of us has made a difference. Part 2: by Gail Anderson Gove I joined ORE Time Bank approximately ten months ago. At first, it was a little difficult to connect with other members but I found by contacting them directly, I had great success. I also found the monthly potluck dinners invaluable for networking. After the meal, we go around the room, introduce ourselves and say what we offer and what we are requesting. Invariably, there is always someone who will raise their hand and say, oh, I can help you with Gail Anderson Gove that! Never fails.

The Vermont Guardian ad Litem Program has been awarded a grant in the amount of $30,000 by the National Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA) Association. This money will be used by the Vermont Judiciary to improve and expand volunteer advocacy for abused and neglected children in the state in 2013-2014. There are approximately 1,000 Vermont children and youth who are in Family Court. These children suffer abuse, neglect, or abandonment by parents or caretakers. Many are in foster care for extended periods of time while waiting for a safe and permanent home. These Vermont children and youth need a Guardian ad Litem to advocate for their best interest. The new grant will pay for training and public outreach to increase the number of volunteers.
If you have the time to donate, care immensely about children in your community, and can advocate for children with both objectivity and compassion, then please consider applying to the Vermont Guardian ad Litem Program. Volunteers accepted to the program must pass a background check and receive 32 hours of pre-service training, and have a willingness to learn and grow as an advocate. You will be supported by a wonderful group of citizen volunteers and supportive court staff. There are regularly scheduled pre-service trainings to fit your schedule. To find out more about the Vermont Guardian ad Litem Program, email jud-vermontgal@state.vt.us or call 1(800) 6226359. You may also visit www.vermontjudiciary.org and go to Favorites and Court Programs.

A statewide disability rights organization recognized a Montpelier pub on Oct. 24 for its commitment to accessibility. The Vermont Center for Independent Living gave Three Penny Taproom its Rosemary J. Miller Dining for All Award. The award is named for VCILs longtime receptionist, who retired in 2011 after more than 30 years on the job. Miller, who was born with cerebral palsy, has never let her disability slow her down. Her passions include dining out, shopping and advocating for disability rights. VCIL Executive Director Sarah Launderville said, We could not think of a more fitting way to honor Rosie than by creating an award to recognize a Vermont eatery that offers dining for everybody. She added, We hear from people with disabilities who are not able to access restaurants because there are stairs, or the bathroom is too narrow. We hear from others that they are treated with disrespect. We wanted an award that highlights a restaurant for doing a good job. The Three Penny certainly fits that description and we salute them. In 2012, Three Penny Taproom expanded into

the storefront next door, allowing it to expand its kitchen and to add a dining room and a wheelchair-accessible entrance. Kevin Casey of Montpelier, who nominated the pub for the Dining for All Award, said, I was pleased to see that the Three Penny Taproom really worked hard to make sure that their renovations were as accessible as possible, with two accessible bathrooms, wide aisles and gently sloping floors between the two spaces in lieu of what would have historically been a step. Scott Kerner, co-owner of Three Penny Taproom, a restaurant well known for its high quality craft food and craft beer, said, We are honored to accept this wonderful award. We were lucky to be able to make our restaurant accessible with the expansion. Other nominees included Church and Main in Burlington. Sarduccis in Montpelier, Whetstone Station Restaurant and Brewery in Brattleboro, Subway in Bennington, and the Wayside Restaurant in Montpelier. The award will be given out annually and more nominations will be solicited next year.
