listings on its website, and the ability to purchase a bike online and pick it up in the store.
With financing lined up, a location, and a
grand opening scheduled for April 1, 2016,
the business is going to happen. But Ohl
started a Kickstarter campaign in order to
raise $10,000, which will allow him to provide extra services to the community such as:
free local delivery, as well as a community
work bench, so people can come in and work
on their bikes during a month long comprehensive class. Ohl hopes that a version of the
class can eventually be offered to high school
students for free.
Ohls shop will also only sell its own line of
clothing, and the Kickstarter campaign will
help cover the upfront costs of printing the
clothing. However, this clothing line comes
attached to a good cause. Each bicycle jersey
will have the logo of a local non-profit or charity. A portion of the proceeds from the jersey
sales will go to those respective organizations.
Giving back to the Barre community only
makes sense considering how quickly Ohl felt
Barre was the perfect place to settlewith its
combination of small town charm and amenities, including the Millstone Trails, of which
Ohl is a Board member.
My wife and I love it here. It was love at
first sight honestly, Ohl said. It should be
pretty obvious by now that Barre is a town full
of opportunity for people my age who are
like-mindedI want to be part of making
more of that positivity in Barre. I want us to
be proud of Barre; whatever I can do to make
that happen for people.
There is still some work to be done in order
to reach the goal of the Kickstarter project by
the Dec. 6 deadline. Ohl said he would appreciate any help. Every dollar helps because if
the goal isnt reached, the money isnt paid
out. There are also rewards depending on the
level of pledge. For more information on the
Kickstarter, check out https://www.kickstarter.

By Aaron Retherford
By this coming April, Barre will be home
to the Vermont Bicycle Shop.
Owner Darren Ohl has experience working
at bicycle shops in nearly every corner of the
United States a passion that formed as a
child. While hes dreamed of opening up his
own shop for years, he doubted it would
become a reality. But once he and his wife,
Ginger, moved to Barre, he knew it was
time.
The couple moved to Vermont in April of
2014 from Eugene, Oregon, and soon thereafter, Ohl bought the domain name vermontbicycleshop.com and registered as an LLC with
the state. Initially, he considered options in
the Vergennes area, but his wife found a job
in Barre, setting the stage for Ohl to meet
Pavel Cherkasov, owner of the Magic Wheel
Bike Shop near the Millstone Trails in
Websterville.
Cherkasov planned on closing the store for
a year, while he worked for a pro cycling
team, but Ohl convinced him to let him run
the store and split the profits instead. The
relationship grew as they discussed moving
the shop to a more accessible location, and
eventually Cherkasov decided to sell the
Magic Wheel to Ohl.
Thats when I knew it was time to do the
Vermont Bicycle Shop full on, Ohl said.
Admittedly, Ohls feelings about the venture have fluctuated between excitement and
fear; although excitement has won out now
that he has closed on a location at 105 N.
Main St. near Goodfellows.
Naming off examples such as Copy World,
Bobs Camera & Video, and The Office
Block, Ohl, 36, hopes the Vermont Bicycle
Shop will be another successful Granite City
business run by younger adults.
Its a town full of young people who can
and want to do things, Ohl said. Its funny,
people in Barre and outside of Barre told me
when I first moved here that Barre is not the
place to be. They could not be more wrong.
Ohl plans to cater to everyone from kids
needing their first bikes to those looking for
the latest high-end offerings because Ohl has
experience working on all types of bikes.
But Ohl wants to create a bike shop like one
youve never seen. First, transparency is very
important to Ohl. In the past, hes broken down the
costs of bike repairs by the part, so people know
what theyre paying for and they can replace a
broken part under warranty at any store.
He also wont hide the mechanics. They
will be right there for people to watch as they
work since he believes thats the most interesting aspect of a bike shop anyway.
Ohl said he plans to offer 3-D printing services of custom parts, up-to-date inventory

KAKURO
By Munroe Chapin
Winter in the northland,
Is a wonder to behold
With it, come the snows
And also the bitter cold
But seems to bring a peace,
To all the things that grow
As they sleep away the season,
Underneath the snow
FEAR KNOT
SUPER CROSSWORD
First Snow
By Corinne Davis
This morning as I looked out the bay window in awe
My kitten grasped at snowflakes with her anticipating paw
She is thinking if only I could catch just one
Or maybe she is in the act of just having fun
I greeted my neighbors as I walked down the drive
Mesmerized by the beauty and grateful to be alive
As I looked up at the white branches of the towering trees
I am locked in a trance and prompted to freeze
Hypnotized as I watch the flakes fall
I am consciously listening to hear His call
Mysteriously the snowflakes will disappear without a trace
Reminding me that I am always surrounded by Gods grace.

Rights stand for. Hearing them say, its the law, or its the
law of the land, makes some of us almost sick to our stomach.
The fact is that the Judicial Branch of our government has
shredded those two great documents and substituted some so
called rights that are definitely not anywhere to be found in
those precious documents.
Now when politicians say, We are suppose to defend the
Constitution, they dont mean the original documents, they
mean whatever the Federal Justices have ruled on regardless
of how ungodly those decisions were. And if you have the
internet, and want to see how ungodly things are, look up
Baby Malachi on any of the search engines. Every American
owes it to humanity to do that! And this includes looking at
the once dismembered body of Baby Malachi.
So where are the checks and balances America? How did
we not insist that our representatives and senators in the
Legislative Branch take action and impeach the ungodly
judges who decided to throw God out of our schools and all
government places under their new invention of separation
of church and state? Or when they voted to give women the
right to kill their unborn baby, although God says Thou shall
not kill? Or the latest decision from the Supreme Court giving same-sex couples the right to marry? The Court made that
latest decision, regardless of the fact, that God considers sex
between two males, or sex between two females, evil, wicked,
and a grievous sin worthy of death.
A scene of Gods Ten Commandments Monument being
hoisted up, in the middle of the night, to be removed from the
grounds of an Oklahoman court house, or it might have been
the State Capitol grounds, is deeply etched in my mind.
America has abandoned God!
Manuel Ybarra, Jr.
Coalgate, OK
Editor,
Living in Vermont where our environment is well protected
compared to many other places, it is sometimes a challenge to
feel the urgency of acting swiftly to combat climate change.
But there are forces beyond our control that are degrading our
environment and we must act quickly to counteract the
impacts of global climate change.
The science is still evolving, but we know we need to keep
about 4/5 or 80% of all fossil fuels where they are, in the
ground, if we hope to slow down global warming.
In anticipation of the upcoming international climate talks
in Paris, world leaders (including German Chancellor Angela
Merkel and Jim Yong Kim, President of the World Bank)
called on all countries to impose a price on carbon as the only
way to effectively reduce global emissions.
By levying a fee on carbon pollution and rebating that to all
Vermonters, we can turn the climate crisis into an economic
opportunity. Taxing carbon emissions will also provide an
engine for new jobs in the sustainable energy market and will
support Vermonters with a rebate they can use to lower their
household and transportation costs.
We need only look to the amazing success British Columbia
has achieved by enacting a carbon fee and rebate policy in
2008. In a relatively short time, the return on this investment
has given B.C. the lowest personal income tax rate in all of
Canada and their fossil fuel use has dropped by 16% while the
rest of Canadas has jumped by about 3%.
In Vermont, we can protect our environment and support a Rand Paul Will Fix our Foreign
strong local economy at the same time. A carbon pollution tax Policies
can help us achieve that.

you. And I believe that our rear-end looks just like everybody
elses.
I have many issues I find difficult at best and probably the
worst is this. At least at the medical center, every room is a
double, which means the small room you are assigned to has
another resident in it. And you are separated by a very thin
piece of cloth, period. But for me, here is the hitch. Regardless
of what is wrong with either of you, you can hear every single
thing that is being said or done to your roommate. During the
day this is bad enough but in the middle of your sleepless night
when all the lights are turned on and a team of caregivers all
gather about 3 feet from your bed, it is your worst nightmare.
True, I have no idea how to alleviate this problem unless, like
Dartmouth Hitchcock you have small individual rooms, which
I believe is much, much better. I firmly believe that if I had
the stamina to take notes, I could have written a blockbuster
revealing novel. Oh and I have only talked about the really
bad parts, what I failed to mention is that all of my roommates
cried, moaned and screamed throughout the night, too. Did
I mention it to anyone? Of course not. These were sick and
suffering people and the last thing they needed was a sick, suffering pain in the butt as a roommate!
Just as an aside, I think it is interesting to note that in the
restrooms, the toilets are the old kind and very low to the floor.
And believe me, it is not only a shock to realize it, it makes
getting back up at least a two-person job.
Since I am telling you one of the bad things I should tell
you some good. The food was terrific and always arrived hot
and presented nicely. But the most important thing was every
single nurse I worked with, and there was quite a few, was
amazingly good and wonderfully kind and helpful. That might
not sound so important but believe me, it is. And maybe it isnt
too polite to mention the initials MD dont stand for what we
think. Nope, they stand for Missing Doctor! Again, the old,
kindly warm doctor who used to deliver your babies and come
to your houses is long, long gone. If they show up at all it is
to say hello and shake your hand. In the 9 days I was there, I
was never, not once touched by a doctor! There were aids and
there were medical students all exhausted and over worked,
but a resident MD, I dont think so.
So, are you ready to go and have your surgical procedure?
Well, of course you are but well before you leave your house
be sure you know what kind of post-op care you want and
need. A small hospital has a lot going for it that a big megahospital doesnt. And be sure, absolutely sure that you bring
your advocate with you. And beg them to stay with you until
you leave. You might owe them big time but whatever you
have to repay will be worth whatever it costs.
More to come next week, about the hospital? Hopefully not!
Senate Report:
In Vermont, the heirs of the Jeffersonian Republican-Democratic Party won the governorship and legislature during most
of the 1820s. In 1828, however, Samuel Crafts, the National
Republican candidate, won the gubernatorial race. In 1831, an
Anti-Mason, William Palmer from Danville, won. The AntiMasons were a single-issue party: they worried that the secrecy of the Masonic order was a threat to the democratic process.
Their strength in Vermont was great. Palmer won election four
times, and in the national election of 1832, Vermont was the
only state that voted for the Anti-Masonic candidate for president, William Wirt.
The Anti-Masonic movement was short-lived. By 1836 it
had lost its momentum. Most of its adherents, led by William
Slade, who would later become governor and congressman,
joined the Whigs.
Vermont politics were unstable at this time, and as often as
not, no candidate for governor was able to gain a statewide
majority. The ultimate in political instability was reached in
1835 when no candidate for governor was able to gain a majority. The unicameral General Assembly was incapable, after three days of wrangling and thirty-five ballots, to choose
a governor. As a last resort, it was decided that Lieutenant
Governor Silas Jenison should be elevated to governor. This
debacle was an important factor in the adoption of a constitutional amendment that abolished the Governors Council and
created the Vermont State Senate in 1836. A greater equality of
representation based upon population
