Killington looks
to regulate
short-term
rentals
By Katy Savage
The Killington Select Board may engage an outside
company to manage short-term rentals and enforce local
regulations amid public health concerns.
The board discussed hiring Host Compliance, a Washington-based
short-term rental management company, at its
Oct. 2 meeting.
Regulating rentals could cost taxpayers about $151,334,
which would be offset by charging property owners a $200
registration fee for each short-term rental.
“It’s [about] health and safety,” Killington Town Manager
Chet Hagenbarth said at the meeting.
Host Compliance uses software tools to scan vacation
rental websites, like Airbnb and Vacation Rentals By Owner
(VRBO), to make sure all the properties are licensed.
“People tend to not know the rules or deliberately ignore
the rules,” Host Compliance founder and CEO Ulrik Binzer
said in a phone interview.
Host Compliance also audits people who aren’t reporting
taxes and has a 24-7 call center for people to report violations.
Binzer founded Host Compliance four years ago, after his
hometown in northern California suddenly banned shortterm
rentals.
Binzer said his company now works with more than 300
counties—most of which are ski towns on the West Coast
and Canada—where Binzer said regulations are aggressively
enforced. Host Compliance began serving the East Coast,

Suspect killed following officerinvolved
shooting in Rutland
By Ed Larson
A Rutland man was
shot and killed by police
in Rutland just after 7a.m.
Tuesday, Oct. 8.
Police identified the
man as Christopher G.
Louras, 33, of Rutland.
Police said he allegedly
drove by the police station
on Wales Street and fired
several shots into the station.
No one was injured at
the time.
The vehicle was identified
as a white Ford Focus
and a pursuit through
the downtown took place
around 7 a.m.
The vehicle ultimately
went into the north end of
the downtown shopping
plaza and attempted to
cross the railroad tracks to
the BROC parking lot off
Evelyn Street, but got stuck.
Police said the suspect
then exited the vehicle
and began firing at police.
“All of a sudden I started hearing
pops,” Lincoln said. “I realized it
was inconsistent for fireworks.”
Shots were exchanged and
Louras was killed.
Police also learned
Tuesday afternoon that a
man’s body had been discovered
off Lake Dunmore
Road in Salisbury. Police
are investigating potential
links between the Rutland
shooter and the man’s body
in Salisbury. His name will
be released after next of kin
are notified, police said.
Investigators said they
do not believe there is any
danger to the public.
The Rutland City and
Rutland Town police officers
involved in the shooting
have been placed on
paid administrative leave,
per protocol.
Police said their names
would be released Wednesday,
Oct. 9. Once complete,
the Vermont State Police
investigation into the
officer-involved shooting
will be turned over to the
Attorney General’s Office

Construction of
downtown hotel in
Rutland hits pause
Staff report
Rutland city may have to wait another year before seeing
a downtown hotel.
DEW Construction, the company considering building
a Marriott on Wales Street, has hit a snag after not receiving
new market tax credits, a necessary funding component
for the $20 million project.
“We missed the timing for allocation of funds in the
last round,” Rutland Redevelopment Authority Executive
Director Brennan Duffy said. “We are back in the dormant
status, awaiting the next round of funding.”
The grand opening, once slated for April 1, 2021, has
been pushed to at least 2022.
Gov. Phil Scott announced the allocation of $2.8 million
in state tax credits to 24 projects last Wednesday, Oct. 2.
The awards are given to help restore old buildings and
revive downtowns and the state generally funds 20% of
the total cost of the projects.
Among the recipients was the former Lake Bomoseen
Inn in Castleton, built in 1903, which received $95,600
to rehabilitate the building with seven rental units and a
meeting space.

Body of unclaimed WWII Navy
veteran to be buried after 22 years
By Ed Larson
A bill passed by the Vermont Legislature in 2019 allows
for remains of unclaimed veterans to have their
burial costs covered. The legislation was spearheaded
by Rep. Robert Hooper and unanimously
passed both the House and
Senate. Arrangements are made
through the Department of Veterans
Affairs.
The first burial of a body of a Y U.S.
Navy veteran of World War II will be
laid to final rest under the new statute
at the Vermont Veterans Cemetery in
Randolph Friday, Oct. 11 at 11 a.m..
Frederick E. Armstrong, 77, of
Bethel died in 1997 and his body was
never claimed.
Jody Guimond of the Tossing Funeral Home in Rutland,
which is handling the arrangements, indicated
that both Armstrong’s wife and daughter died prior to
his death and that no living relatives have been located

RUTLAND TOWN—The
chairman of the District
1 Environmental Commission
has submitted his
resignation to Gov. Phil
Scott.
Joshua Terenzini, of
Rutland Town, who is also
chairman of the Rutland
Town Select Board, was
appointed to the District 1
Commission in February
2019. Since the appointment,
a number of occasions
arose with potential
conflict of interest between
the two offices.
Terenzini stated it was
important for him to be
able to participate and discuss
Rutland Town matters
that may have Act 250 relationship,
without having to
abstain from voting.
The closure of the
Diamond Run Mall, and
a new plan for redevelopment
of the mall area that
may have to undergo the
Act 250 process, was one
such potential conflict of
interest.
Terenzini indicated he
enjoyed his work on the
Environmental Commission
but loves Rutland
Town and that “ethically”
he cannot do both positions.

Staff report
The deadly crash of a World War II-era
bomber in Connecticut on Wednesday,
Oct. 2, was not the same as aircraft as
the one that visited North Clarendon’s
Rutland-Southern Vermont Regional
Airport Sept. 20-22.
While there are less than a dozen of
the 1930s-40s B-17 bomber aircrafts still
flying, the one that visited the Rutland
region (named “Aluminum Overcast”)
went on to Keene, N.H. and will continue
its tour schedule throughout the
eastern U.S. for the rest of the year.
The B-17 that crashed and burned at
the Hartford airport killed seven of the
13 people aboard, according to an Associated
Press report, Oct. 4.
since.
Guimond said it took years to obtain the veteran’s
DD214 discharge papers to confirm his service in the
Navy.
Veterans Affairs showed Armstrong
born on June 25, 1920, with date of
death June 3, 1997.
A procession will depart Rutland
City at 10 a.m. on Oct. 11, escorted by
the Vermont Patriot Guard motorcycle
organization.
Thomas Giffin, of the Vermont
Old Time Cemetery Association, has
encouraged the groups membership
to attend the ceremony with postings
on social media sites.
A military honor guard and speakers from the Office
of Veterans Affairs in Vermont, will take part in the burial
program which will take place in the Chapel at the Veterans
Cemetery.
B-17 crashes and burns killing seven
Bomber was not the same B-17 that visited Rutland
While the exact cause of the crash has
not been specified, the pilot did report
engine trouble after gaining only about
800 feet of elevation. The plane turned
back to the airport quickly and then
lost control upon touchdown striking a
nearby shed and exploding. Witnesses
reported seeing a “big ball of orange
fire.”
Some experts say the skill and experience
needed to maintain such planes
are dwindling. And this crash has raised
questions of whether machines over 70
years old should be flying passengers.
The community of history buffs and
aviation enthusiasts were saddened by
the loss of the historic aircraft.

WCSU seeks to
expand innovative
school practices
By Curt Perterson
Windsor Central Supervisory Union Superintendent
Mary Beth Banios and Curriculum Coordinator Jennifer
Stainton participated in the inaugural NuVuX Summit
in Cambridge, Massachusetts, Sept. 27.
NuVU is a full-time innovation school based in Cambridge,
Massachusetts.
The gathering, held at the NuVu innovation school,
brought together international representatives from
the 14 schools that partner with NuVu to deliver leading
edge programming and professional development
aimed at preparing children with the skills and dispositions
needed for success in life after graduation.
Through connections made at the summit, Banios
and Stainton have begun initial conversations about
collaborations with Kelvinside, a leading school in
Scotland and furthered the middle and high school’s
relationship with other international colleagues.
The Woodstock Union High School and Middle
School became the first public middle/high school in
the world to partner with NuVu in 2017. In addition to
its full-time school for middle and high school students
in Cambridge, NuVu has partnerships (NuVuX) with 14

schools around the world including Woodstock Middle
School High School and schools in Scotland and India
and a community innovation center in Turkey.
The NuVuX Summit featured industry leaders who
shared trends about the future of learning and teaching;
the future of work; and the future of innovation/design
in the context of an increasingly complex and uncertain
world. Additionally, keynote speaker Meghna Chakrabarti
commented that our children need to have a new
set of skills to handle the speed, complexity and uncertainty
in today’s modern world. Chakrabarti noted that
NuVu’s philosophy and contributions toward transforming
education are precisely what is needed.
NuVu’s studio model provides students with the
opportunity to develop skills solving complex problems
while engaging with rigorous academic content.
Students are treated as solution-finders to authentic
problems as they grow to become comfortable with
complexity and uncertainty. These skills are critical
to success in the 21st century, all education experts
agreed.
Representatives from NuVuX partner schools shared
lessons from the field. Banios spoke about how the
public Windsor Central Modified School District has
recently completed a strategic plan and portrait of a
graduate (unanimously approved by the school board)
and how the NuVu experience directly aligns with the
outcomes in those plans.
“At WUHSMS, we run IDEA, a hands-on interdisciplinary
studio for high school students,” the NuVu
website reads. “In addition, our NuVu Fellow helps
support a number of collaboration projects with different
middle and high school teachers and departments,
including biology, physics and global studies.”

Richard Caouette, 66
Richard H. Caouette died on Sept. 26
at his home, surrounded by his loving
family.
He was born May 22, 1953 in Newport,
Vermont to Herbert and Lorraine
(Osborne) Caouette. He grew up in
Brighton (Island Pond), Vermont where
he spent his youth on the lake water
skiing and fishing, in the woods hunting
and on the mountains fulfilling his passion
for skiing. Caouette
graduated from North
Country High School in
1971 and went on to join
the army, spending his
time in Germany. Upon
his discharge he then
attended Castleton State
College before moving
on to pursue his dream of
becoming a Border Patrol
agent in Chula Vista, California.
In the late 1970s,
he returned to Vermont
and served three years in
the United States National
Guard.
He was employed by
Marble Valley Correctional
Center. In 1981, he was hired by
United Parcel Service (UPS) as a route
driver. Business owners and residents
of Killington looked forward daily to
hearing shop bells ring and seeing his
smiling face walk through the door to
deliver their packages. They missed him
dearly when he left that route to drive
tractor trailers for UPS. He retired in
June 2012.
In his years with UPS, Caouette
developed some of the strongest relationships
of his lifetime, most notably
his friendships with his fellow drivers,
who were a “band of brothers” to him,
not only while working for the company,
but continuing to his final days,
spending time at his bedside and on the
telephone making it known to him and
his family just how loved and cared for
he was. Caouette ’s family will be forever
grateful to these men and their families
for the years of dedication to their dear
friend.
After retirement, Caouette spent
wonderful time with his family, especially
enjoying his precious granddaughters,
Carly and
Oakley. He taught Carly
how to fish, ride a bike,
and show off the amazing
smile she inherited
from her “Pop.”
He is survived by
his daughter, Katrina
Caouette and her
husband Christopher
Sweeney; granddaughters,
Carly and Oakley;
Katrina’s mother,
Karyn Crossman;
and his much loved,
four legged walking
partner, Joey. He is also
survived by five sisters:
Linda Goulet (Craig),
Janis Barnes (Bucky), Christine Hill, Eileen
Bailey and Theresa Caouette; many
nieces, nephews, cousins and extended
family members, including Jim Hill.
Caouette was predeceased by his
parents, and two brothers-in–laws, Jeffrey
Bailey and Clifford Phillips.
Services will be held Oct. 12, 2019
at Immaculate Heart of Mary Church,
18 Lincoln Ave in in Rutland at 11
a.m. There will be no calling hours.
Burial will take place in Island Pond at
a later date. Donations can be made in
memory of Richard to the Norris Cotton
Cancer Center at Dartmouth Hitchcock
Medical Center, Lebanon, New Hampshire.

Rentals: Town of Killington considers short-term rental regulations

from page 1
starting with Lake Placid, New York, about 1 ½ years ago,
as towns in the East started adopting regulations.
“I’m glad it’s finally getting to New England and Vermont,”
he said.
Short term rentals are defined as units rented for 30
days or less. Host Compliance has estimated Killington
has 931 short-term rental properties. If the town charges a
$200 fee, the annual revenue could total $186,200.
The enforcement conversation in Killington started
about a year ago, after property owner Vincent Connolly
was found in violation of the town’s zoning ordinance
when he advertised his three-bedroom home could
sleep up to 32 people. Connolly’s property drew concerns
from neighbors about the potential of his septic system
overflowing. Connolly has denied he was in violation and
is currently pursuing legal action against the town.
The Killington Planning Commission met in August to
consider an ordinance that would crack down on shortterm
rentals by limiting bedroom capacity and ensuring
properties have insurance and adequate wastewater
systems. The town’s attorney is currently reviewing the
language of the ordinance.
Hagenbarth said the town’s new policies would likely

received $180,577 in tax credits to
convert the building into a restaurant,
retail and coworking space
with the availability of short-term
rental housing. The Springfield Food
Co-op was also a recipient of $91,535
to relocate and expand in downtown
Springfield.
The proposed site for the Rutland
hotel sits on about ¾ of an acre.
The site was once occupied by the
Berwick Hotel, which hosted prominent
guests like presidents Calvin
Coolidge, Theodore Roosevelt and
Grover Cleveland, until the building
burned in 1973. The site is now
go into effect next spring.
Binzer said property owners frequently violate ordinances
in other parts of the country.
He said the enforcement process is about balancing
the needs of primary residents with the economic benefits
of tourism.
“It is a tourist economy and you need those people to
come,” Binzer said over the phone. “On the other hand,
you can’t have it just be a tourist area.”
Select Board member Jim Haff stressed the board’s
conversation last Wednesday was merely a discussion.
There would be a public hearing before modifications to
zoning are made.
Some short-term property managers, who attended
the meeting, urged the town to enforce a registration fee
itself before hiring an outside company.
“The issue is we don’t have a way to monitor what people
are posting online,” Hagenbarth said. “I don’t have
any concern for the people that are following the rules.”
Hagenbarth said several homes have “blown out” their
wastewater systems due to overcapacity in the past.
“That’s where the concern lies,” he said. “The goal is
overall compliance.”
often called “the pit” and needs an
estimated $500,000 in environmental
clean-up.
DEW has had an option to purchase
the former Rutland Herald
building for $620,000, but DEW Vice
President Peter Kelley, who is heading
the project, said he was unable
to close a deal on the building prior
to applying for tax credits.
“The way the new market tax
credits works is you’re encouraged
to have entitlement the same year
as the new market tax credit award,”
Kelley said. “It was really a level of
readiness with site security, site development—those
types of things.”
Kelly said DEW has suspended
activities on the permits for the
project for the time being.
“We don’t want to spend money
on permits when we’re not sure
we’re going to get an award,” Kelley
said.
Duffy said he found out about a
month ago that the project would
likely be held up due to lack of funding.
“We’re hoping this project can go
forward but it needs to wait until the
next round of funding occurs,” Duffy
said.

Medicaid experts,
and community leaders.”
Vermont Legal Aid has
represented transgender Vermonters seeking Medicaid
coverage for gender affirming surgery since 1995.
The Office of the Health Care Advocate at Vermont
Legal Aid is available for all Vermonters who need help

Vermont ranks third in the
country for energy efficiency
A scorecard released Oct. 1 found
that Vermont’s energy efficiency
efforts are ranked third in the nation.
The American Council for an
Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE)
releases an annual State Energy
Efficiency Scorecard to measure
the success of energy efficiency
programs. This year, Vermont’s
ranking increased from fourth to
third, making 2019 the 11th year
since 2007 that Vermont has ranked
in the top five nationally.
The scorecard analyzes and
compares existing energy efficiency
programs between states
to recommend how each state can
improve its efficiency offerings for
residents. Itconsiders programs
across electricity, thermal, and
transportation.
Vermont’s rank was supported
by strong programs designed to
help low-income households save
energy and money, and helping
all Vermonters reduce electricity
usage.
“When Vermont leads on energy
efficiency, Vermonters win by
saving money and staying warm,”
said Rebecca Foster, director of
Efficiency Vermont. “Vermont’s
statewide, coordinated approach to
energy efficiency directly benefits
businesses and residents and
helps ensure that energy upgrades
are accessible and affordable for
everyone.”
Courtesy of ACEEE
“Vermonters are passionate and
determined to reduce their carbon
footprints. VGS is committed to
giving them the tools to succeed
today. Our award winning energy
efficiency programs and our first in
the nation renewable natural gas
program give our customers the
ability to fully offset their carbon
footprint,” said Don Rendall,
president and CEO of Vermont Gas
Systems. “Our values at VGS are all
about safety, customers, culture
– and climate. Our partnerships
with great organizations such as
Efficiency Vermont and Burlington
Electric Department are an essential
part of making progress quickly
for our customers and our state.”

Being Pain-Free Has Made
a Huge Difference For Me
“Now I can walk with confidence. I can garden,
play with my dogs, take care of my pigs. These
procedures have been almost life-changing in giving
me the opportunity to do the things that I like to do
without pain. My care at Rutland Regional Medical
Center was excellent. They were kind, considerate
and respectful. I highly recommend them.”

A recent grad’s
perspective on
higher education
By Brockton Corbett
Neither of my parents went to college. Yet, I can
remember first considering higher education in second
grade. I was only interested in careers with more than
four syllables like paleontologist, anesthesiologist or archeologist.
At that time, I was relatively aware of my family’s
situation and the associated challenges, especially in
the rural towns of Rutland County where I grew up.
Finishing college felt like the path to success and the
key to financial security, even if I didn’t use those words
at the time.
This past May, I completed my life-long aspiration
when I graduated from Northern Vermont University
with a degree in environmental and political science.
This summer, the Vermont Community Foundation
in Middlebury hired me for a two-year position as the
Inaugural David Rahr Community Philanthropy Fellow
(17 syllables for those keeping track). I work on the grantmaking
team, helping to direct grants and investments
to make a difference in Vermont. It is inspiring to hear the
many ways Vermonters are tackling the big issues.
As a part my training for the fellowship, I have learned
a lot about the opportunity gap in Vermont and beyond.
In a few words, the opportunity gap is marked by the lack
of social and economic mobility among people born into
poverty. This is, in part, because of the many advantages

Remembering “Mother”
By Royal Barnard
I am very saddened to note the passing of Jay Shapiro,
one of the pioneers of growth in the Killington region and a
friend to all who knew him. Like many Killington businessmen
Jay Shapiro migrated from other places. He arrived
here early in development from North Adams, Massachusetts.
Social media is buzzing right now with notes and memories
passed between his peers, friends and former customers
of Mother Shapiro’s Restaurant now the site of Sushi
Yoshi on Killington Road.
Mother Shapiro’s Restaurant was noted for classic Jewish
breakfast items, creative entrees, a lively pub, a fine dining
room, fabulous chicken soup, and for “Mother” himself. No
successful independent restaurant can survive without the
personal energy of the owner and it was Jay Shapiro’s presence
and unusual style of hospitality that made the place a
success.
With his predictably humorous sharp edge “No whining”
was the mantra at Mother Shapiro’s. His logo, the
signage, and the mood at Mothers was consistent ... relax,
chill out and enjoy yourself.
During his time in Killington Shapiro authored several
humorous columns in both The Mountain Times and the
former Valley Voice. His “tell it all” style and willingness to
speak up were often poignant, but primarily fun. Conversation
in his restaurant was much the same. He was vocal,
honest but never mean-spirited.
Shapiro’s life became greatly enriched by his relationship
and marriage to his devoted wife, Sheila, who predeceased
him while living at their retirement home in Port St. Lucie,
Florida. They were married in grand style while in Killington
and were a wonderful couple. This good man and a
wonderful woman will be missed, but not forgotten.

On Bernie Sanders’ heart attack on Oct. 1...
“Thanks for all the well-wishes. I’m
feeling good. I’m fortunate to have
good health care and great doctors
and nurses helping me to recover.
None of us knows when a medical
emergency might affect us. And no
one should fear going bankrupt if it
occurs. Medicare for All!”
Said Bernie Sanders Oct. 2.
“A heartfelt thank you to everyone who
reached out yesterday with so many
touching & kind messages wishing
Bernie well! We are so moved by your
support. Bernie is up & about. Yesterday,
he spent much of the day talking with
us about policies, joking with doctors
and nurses and speaking with our kids
& grandkids and friends on the phone.
Bernie’s doctors are very pleased with
his progress, and we expect him to be
discharged and back home before the
end of the weekend. I intend to make
sure Bernie takes a few days off to rest,
but he’s ready to get back out there and
we’re looking forward to the October
debate. Again, thank you all for your
wonderful support. It really does mean a
lot to us,”

Higher education: Trio/Upward Bound offers a leg up
>
from page 8
wealthier parents can afford for their children,
including higher education.
But programs to break that cycle of
poverty and get ahead do exist. Comparing
my own accomplishment to recent
data collected by VSAC (Vermont Student
Assistance Corporation) about Vermont’s
high school class of 2012, it seems I’ve
beaten the odds: Only 16% of males who
were first in their family to pursue college
obtained a bachelor’s degree within four
years of graduating from high school.
How then, does American society promote
social mobility?
According to Horace Mann, education,
beyond all other devices of human origin,
is the great equalizer of human conditions.
If this is the case, then creating greater
access to higher education should be an
all-important
goal for communities
and governments
who
care about their
constituents.
In 2013, the
Vermont legislature
passed Act 77, which is currently
doing what Horace Mann envisioned.
Among other things, Act 77 created
dual-enrollment, which allows every high
school student in Vermont to take two
free college classes at no cost. It also led
to universal access to the early college
programs, allowing a select number of
seniors to finish their high school years
with a full college course load. This means
that students can graduate high school
with up to 42 college credits — almost one
third of the total needed for a diploma.
That cuts the cost of obtaining a college
degree substantially.
Growing up, I learned the value of
these programs firsthand.
With the support available to me from
Upward Bound, a branch of Trio, which is
a national college-readiness program, I
made use of the dual enrollment vouchers
available to me. I took both of these
classes through Castleton University and
did quite well.
But obstacles do arise. When it came
time to apply for Early College classes
>
in the spring of my junior year of high
school, I had a class-scheduling meeting
with my guidance counselor who advised
me to not pursue the opportunity and finish
my senior year in high school because
there would be many “more qualified”
individuals applying and that it would be
a very competitive process.
This news was disheartening. For that
moment the confidence and enthusiasm
I had for attending college was taken
away.
Luckily, there was another form of support
available to me that not everyone has
the privilege to access. My Upward Bound
director told me to apply, that I would
have a strong application and to ask her
for any help that I needed along the way.
One year later, I graduated from high
school with 36 college credits and made

students who
have taken advantage
of this opportunity. Collectively,
Vermont students have saved in the range
of millions of dollars.
Based on my experience, here is what I
recommend:
• To Legislators: Expand these opportunities.
They are of great value. Ideally,
expansions will focus on first-generation
and/or economically disadvantaged
populations as they face the most barriers
to pursuing a degree — a crucial ingredient
for economic success.
• To students: Take full advantage of all
opportunities, find a community that will
lift you up, apply for grants on time, and
pursue every scholarship you qualify for.
• To adults/parents: Whether college
or a certificate, encourage students to go
beyond high school, they and society will
be better off for it.

Comcast settlement protects
and expands PEG Access
Television in Vermont
“We’ve reached
meaningful
compromises and
settled several
outstanding
issues,” said Byer.
Following more than two years of legal
wrangling, on Oct. 3, Vermont’s Public
Utility Commission (PUC) finalized conditions
of Comcast’s Certificate of Public
Good (CPG), enabling the state’s largest
cable operator to continue its delivery of
cable television service across the state,
while providing public benefits such as line
extensions and protections for Public, Educational,
and Government (PEG) Access.
The conditions of the “amended,
renewed, and consolidated” CPG were
set out in a recently mediated Settlement
agreement between Comcast, the Department
of Public Service
(DPS), and the Vermont
Access Network (VAN),
which represents 25
community media centers
that operate public,
educational, and government
access channels
in Comcast service territories,
according to the
Oct. 3 press release. The
PUC has adopted the conditions of that
Settlement in its amended CPG Order.
Lisa Byer, Chair of VAN’s Regulatory
Committee, commented that “The
amended CPG reflects a carefully considered
Settlement, negotiated with Comcast
and the DPS over the past several months.
We’ve reached meaningful compromises
and settled several outstanding issues
which will better position us to meet community
communications needs over the
next decade.”
As reflected in the proposed amendments
to the Renewal CPG, the parties
Settlement terms now require Comcast to:
• Construct a minimum of 350 miles
of additional lines of cable during
the full term of the Renewal CPG
• Maintain existing PEG remote origination
sites and provide reasonable
accommodations in support
of any AMO request for a new site
and support of alternative means of
providing remote origination sites
• Provide a single, statewide HD
channel by Jan. 1, 2021, and extend
the time for AMOs to request additional
high definition (“HD”) PEG
channels.
The Settlement contained in the CPG
also provides for reassignment of Comcast’s
Vermont PEG channels to a dedicated
PEG neighborhood enabling them to be
listed with individual
listings and full functionality
on all programming
guides and additional
funding support for the
PEG channel reassignments
and equipment
needs associated with
the statewide HD PEG
channel.
Byer added, “This
settlement ... incorporates true compromises
by all parties to bring this matter to
a close. We have made progress on several
key points, especially PEG channel inclusion
in the Interactive Program Guide
(IPG) which will bring our channels in line
with current television viewing habits.
We are also proud that the settlement
provides a clearer path for providing PEG
channels both with HD capability as well
as the maintenance and upkeep of remote
origination sites. We believe that the terms
of this settlement will greatly benefit cable
subscribers and community members
in Comcast service territories. We look
forward to refocusing our attention on
providing the best PEG programming
consistent with the needs and interests of
our diverse communities.”
Slate Valley expands
telemedicine school
health program
The Slate Valley Unified
Union School District
(SVUUSD) and Community
Health Centers of the
Rutland Region (CHCRR)
announced Oct. 3 the
expansion of the Telemedicine
School Health
Program from Fair Haven
Grade School (FHGS) to
Fair Haven Union High
School (FHUHS) with plans
to eventually extend the
program to all schools in
the district.
“We are off to a great start
this year at FHGS, having
completed a number of
telemedicine visits with our
brand new and enhanced
equipment,” said Dr.
Schneider, associate medical
director and telehealth
program leader, CHCRR.
“We have equipment on
order and are looking
forward to expansion of the
program to more SVUUSD
schools.”
School-based telemedicine
is an innovative,
established model
used to complement and
expand existing school
health services. Under the
program, school nurses are
able to consult with CHCRR
medical professionals. This
makes healthcare more
accessible and convenient
and results in fewer absences
and delays in treatment.
Parents/guardians do not
need to be present but do
need to sign and return a
consent form .“When it is
determined by the school
nurse that a student could
benefit from a medical
visit, with parent/guardian
consent, CHCRR is contacted,”
said Dr. Schneider.
“A pediatric provider, along
with assistance from the
school nurse as a tele-presenter,
uses high-definition
video and audio to allow for
a thorough virtual evaluation
and examination of the
child, including the use of
special cameras designed
for vivid visualization of
ears, throat and skin, and
use of a digital stethoscope
for auscultation of heart,
lungs and abdomen.”
Examples of conditions
that may be treated include:
abrasions and scrapes,
asthma and wheezing,
coughs and colds, earaches,
fever, pinkeye, minor skin
infections, and rashes.
If the student requires a
prescription, the healthcare
provider is able to write one
and send it electronically to
the family’s pharmacy.
While many conditions
are treatable through the
telemedicine program,
there are medical conditions
that may require an
in-person evaluation by the
child’s regular physician.
CHCRR services are provided,
with parent/guardian
consent, at no cost. The
parent’s/guardian’s insurance
company/Medicaid
will be billed for the services
provided in the telemedicine
visit and fees exceeding
coverage will be waived. If
the parent/guardian does
not have insurance, fees for
the services provided will
be waived. No child will be
refused treatment due to
inability to pay.
“Telemedicine visits
often allow children to stay
in school and parents to
remain at work, while getting
medical care,” said Dr.
Schneider. “Treatments can
be started sooner, and there
is decreased absenteeism
... We are in the process of
expanding the program to
include... dental care, behavioral
health, and followup
monitoring and medical
checks for children with
chronic conditions such as
asthma or ADHD.”
“From the school district
perspective, this is another
exciting resource that
students are able to access
as we further our vision of
providing for the social,
emotional, and academic
needs of every child,” said
Superintendent Brooke
Olsen-Farrell.

The Mountain Times • Oct. 9-15, 2019 ROCKIN’ THE REGION • 19
Eric King and local band member release album
I’ve only seen Eric King live for a minute but after
listening to his debut CD, I want to see him for hours. I
thoroughly enjoyed “30 Days to 50.” I was three tracks
in before looking at the credits to
see his band on the CD is an allstar
Vermont band. He is the only
vocalist but I heard female backing
tracks and learned those are
Jenny Porter. Half the musicians
have been featured in my articles.
Besides vocals, King is on
rhythm guitar. Joining him and
Rockin’ the
Region
By DJ Dave
Hoffenberg
Porter are: Rick Redington (lead
guitar, ukulele), Jared Johnson
(bass), Chad Hollister (drums),
J.D. Tolstoi (keyboards), Barbara
Smith (saxophone, flute), Mike
Connerty (trumpet), Danielle
Connerty (trombone) and Liam
Gentry (trombone).
King’s also launching Groove St Records, his own
independent label. You can get the CD on that site,
CD Baby and at The Howling Mouse record store in
Rutland.
The CD hooked me right from the beginning.
Track 1, “Slow Mellow Burn,” starts out just that with
a mellow, jazzy feel then King’s vocals kick in. It picks up
and becomes a catchy lyrical tune. You hear the horns
and a nice keyboard solo.
Track 2, “Take Me Away,” I played a couple times in a
row I liked it so much. It starts off with nice Porter and
King harmonies and then into King’s sweet vocals. I like
music that moves you and this song definitely does.
Track 3, “You Meant The World To Me,” is a rocking
bluesy tune that made me take notice of Porter’s vocals.
The band really shines in this one.
Track 4, “You Want This,” you want to sit back, chill
and dig into King’s vocals.
Track 5, “What’s Stopping You,” is a perfectly blended
song with more of those great Porter and King harmonies.
Track 6, “Eyes to Eyes,” starts the second half of the
CD. I’m really liking these tracks and was trying to
figure out who King reminds me of? Nobody,
because he’s an original who others should
emulate.
Track 7, “Gypsies,” has that good feeling
that reminded me of “Take Me Away.” It’s not
the same song by any means but it made me
feel good because of its catchy lyrics.
King does all the music and words
except for track 8, “Earth,” co-written
with Rowan Stone. If planet earth had a
theme song, it should be this.
Track 9, “I Will See You Again,” is a
rocking, upbeat song from start to
finish. The horns shine and so do
Porter and King.
Track 10, the title track, “30 Days
to 50,” is a nice instrumental jam,
showcasing all the instruments.
I was disappointed to have the
CD end. You know when you
go to a concert and it’s so good,
you want encore after encore?
That’s what this did for me.
I wanted more and more
so I started it over and
played it again.
The CD was recorded
and engineered
by Jeremiah
Bindrum at Bullfrog
Audio Productions
in Rochester. It is
perfectly mixed by Bindrum and King. The blend of the
instruments is perfect. Nothing is ever overbearing.
King is a great singer and songwriter. His lyrics are easy
to understand and his vocals
are always easy to hear.
King had each member of
the band in mind and specifically
sought them out. He sent
them material and gave them
each an option to pick a song
or play on the whole album.
He hoped it was the latter and it was, everyone was on
board from the get-go. King said, “If you’re on the playground
and you’re the captain of the kickball team, you
pick the best players. There was just something about
them that I wanted to work with them.”
King (52) hails from Colchester, Connecticut but
came to Vermont 10 years ago. His first mentor was
Jenny’s father, Jeff Porter, who got him playing live.
They did some duos together at local farmers markets.
Porter introduced him to the late, great Steve Audsley
who encouraged King to keep playing at open mics. He
did his first real gig with Audsley at Killarney’s. He knew
that he wanted to play his own tunes and not just covers,
so he started writing a few years ago. He eventually
had enough for an album and this project took him a
year.
King said, “This was an amazing learning experience.
It’s my first time in
a studio, arranging for
other instruments and
working with other
musicians.”
The writing
process for him fills
up notebooks. He
said, “Sometimes I’ll
jot down these little
things going on in
“If you’re on the playground
and you’re the captain of the
kickball team, you pick the
best players,” King said.
my head and sometimes I’ll write down a whole song.”
Ideas pop in his head as he’s lying down in bed and he’ll
jump up and write a song, he added.
He’s been writing all summer
and is going back in the studio
in January.
He started playing piano a
year ago and has written some
songs for that now, too. His goal
is to do a show of all his own
music. For now he mixes in covers
with his awesome originals.
Upcoming shows
You can catch him this Saturday, Oct. 12, at 7 p.m. at
Du Jour VT in Ludlow and Oct 25, 2 p.m. at Outer Limits
Brewery in Proctorsville.

rock to the Paramount
Friday, Oct. 11, at 8 p.m.—RUTLAND—38 Special was born over four decades ago,

combines AOR (a type of popular music in which a hard rock background is combined
with softer or more melodic elements) and country with little bit of boogie and
blues which has made them into world renowned Southern rock act.
38 Special has kept touring through the years and regularly draws huge crowds
across U.S.
This Friday they will perform in downtown Rutland at the Paramount Theatre.
Tickets are $65-$75. For more information visit paramountvt.org.

Angus McCusker of the Rochester/Randolph Sports
Trails Alliance skis the backcountry.
Locals featured
in new ski movie
about Vermont’s
backcountry
Love skiing Vermont’s backcountry glades and
trails? Be sure to check out Leave Nice Tracks: The State
of Vermont’s Backcountry when it debuts this Fall.
For four years, filmmakers Dan Cirenza and Marius
Becker (both former cameramen for ESPN) and Kyle
Crichton followed Vermonters Angus McCusker, Zac
Freeman and a posse of volunteers from the Rochester/Randolph
Sports Trails Alliance as they created ski
glades in the Green Mountain National Forest—the
first sanctioned glading done on National Forest land.
“Kyle and I grew up together and we started out just
wanting to make some kind of backcountry film. Then
we heard about what the RASTA guys were doing and
joined them on one of their first glading trips in the fall
of 2014,” Cirenza recalls.
Cirenza, a former Freeride World Tour competitor,
brought in his former ESPN colleague cinematographer
Marius Becker. The film follows McCusker and
Freeman as they teach their kids to ski on a homemade
backyard rope tow, map the future glades and
head into the woods with chainsaws to lead glading
expeditions.
“What amazed me the most was how the whole
community came together to support their efforts and
to launch the film and we wanted to debut it in Rochester,
where it all started,” says Cirenza.
In September, after having invested their own money
and time in the film, the trio put it up on Kickstarter.
Within a matter of days they had raised the remaining
$12,000 they needed to finish it.
This Nov. 7, their documentary Leave Nice Tracks:
The State of Vermont’s Backcountry debuts at the
Backcountry Forum in Rochester, Vt. Also slated for the
Backcountry Forum is an update about RASTA’s plans
for the winter and other glading and trailwork projects
being undertaken by the Catamount Trail Association’s
six chapters across the state.
There will be beer, a potluck and a lot of backcountry
skiing plans made. For more, see leavenicetracks.

Forest Canopy Walk opens at VINS
Saturday, Oct. 12, at 10
a.m.—QUECHEE—Take
a playful journey high
into the trees to find
unexpected gifts of a wild
forest. See the world like
a squirrel leaping from
branch to branch. Watch
songbirds zip below you.
Listen for winds rustling
in leaves around you.
Touch the trunk of trees
50 feet up above the
ground. This Saturday, be
one of the first to climb
into a wild forest when
the Vermont Institute of
Natural Science (VINS)
officially opens its Forest
Canopy Walk.
A ribbon cutting
ceremony will be held at
10 a.m.
The opening is the
culmination of two years
of research, planning, fundraising
and building this
innovative new exhibit
into the treetops of VINS
Nature Center. The VINS
Forest Canopy Walk opening
ushers in a new day for
our environmental education
organization.
The Forest Canopy Walk
is an elevated walkway
that begins at our ADAaccessible
McKnight Trail
and winds up into the forest
canopy. The Walk is a
novel educational exhibit,
a significant step forward
in VINS’ place-based educational
programs. With
place-based education,
visitors learn via active
engagement with the surrounding
environment,
immersed in the forest
even as they learn about
its ecosystems, animals
and diverse flora.
Guests can tackle the
nets of the Spider’s Web,
climb to an Eagle’s Nest,
peer into an Owl’s Nest,
and check out the Tree
House, ascending 100 feet
above ground to the very
tops of the trees. Each of
these features includes
interpretive materials to
empower, inform guests
about the environment,
their role in protecting it,
and offer a whole-forest
exploration. A lesson
about stewardship can
truly take root when it
is learned from a leafy
bough a foot away, as
birds and squirrels dart
among the branches at
eye-level.
Noted VINS Executive
Director Charles F.
Rattigan said, “We all
experience the forest from
the ground. Very seldom
can we survey the forest
from the treetops, so this
presents a unique viewpoint
and a very unique
and cool experience really
unobtainable in any other
way.”
The Forest Canopy Walk
construction began last
fall following a benefits
study and approval from
the VINS Board of Trustees.
Long-term economic stability
is an important goal
for VINS, as for all nonprofit
organizations, and this
initial study suggested that
adding the Forest Canopy
Walk to the VINS Nature
Center would result in significantly
higher numbers

of visitors. “We look at it as
a transformational piece
for VINS,” Rattigan said,
adding, “We think that
it’s going to help secure
a dramatic increase in
visitors and that it’s going
to translate directly to the
bottom line.”
VINS also invites visitors
to explore the Forest
Exhibit, which captures
the sights, sounds and
smells of a natural forest.

Annual Chili Cook-Off returns
Submitted
Jon Oakes of Ludlow samples Chili con Carlos at last
year’s Cook-Off.
Saturday, Oct. 12, at 11 a.m.—LUDLOW – The spicy
aroma of simmering chili draws one and all to the
downtown area this weekend for the Rotary Club’s 29th
Annual Chili Cook-Off.
The Cook-Off will be held Saturday, Oct. 12 rain or
shine under the tent on Depot Street by the traffic light
in downtown Ludlow. The event offers up to two dozen
varieties of chili, including traditional, vegetarian and
exotic. The cost is $10 for all-you-can-eat served in a collectible
mug, while supplies last. There’s also cider, bread
and ice cream.
Tasting starts at 11 a.m. and continues until the last
spoonful is ladled out, usually around 2 p.m.
Participants vie for bragging rights and cash prizes
in three People’s Choice categories: first ($200), second
($100) and third ($50). Plaques are awarded by three
Rotary-appointed judges, headed up by Ludlow Fire
Dept. Chief Peter Kolenda, who also decide Favorite,
Spiciest and Team Spirit awards.
The Echo Lake Inn garnered last year’s Judges Choice
Best in Show title. Hot Damn Chili was named Spiciest,
Chili Palmer won for Team Spirit and Vermont Harvest
took an Honorable Mention. Hot Damn Chili earned
the People’s Choice first prize. Second and third place
People’s Choice winners were perennial participant Chili
con Carlos and a newcomer named Mojakka.
The Cook-Off raises funds for the charities of the Ludlow
Rotary Club, including scholarships for graduating
high school seniors, the Black River Valley Senior Center,
Stepping Stones Pre-school, Ludlow Elementary’s afterschool
ski program, Mountainside House Youth Shelter,
Maleka House orphanage in Uganda and many more.
The Cook-Off was created by Black River Produce
co-founder Steve Birge. This year’s Cook-Off recognizes
long-time head judge Richard Harrison, a Rotarian and
former Fire Dept. Chief, who died this summer.

Saturday-Sunday, Oct. 12-13—WINDSOR—The Old
Constitution House, the birthplace of Vermont, hosts a
weekend of period reenactments on Saturday and Sunday,
Oct. 12 and 13, from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
This is the last of the 2019 season’s “History Happens
at OCH” programs. Featuring reenactors Carl and Carolyn
Malikowski, October’s event includes 18th-century
woodworking and powder horn carving, outdoor cooking
techniques, and a discussion of early harvesting and food
preservation.
In 1777, Vermont’s constitution was adopted at a tavern
that came to be known as the Old Constitution House. Now
a museum, OCH offers exhibits and guided tours that focus
on the first constitution in America to prohibit slavery, and
the first to establish universal manhood suffrage and a system
of public schools. A permanent exhibition, A Free and
Independent State, examines Vermont’s formative years
from the struggle for political independence to statehood
in 1791.
This year’s temporary exhibit, Curator’s Choice, showcases
rare and unusual items from the Vermont region of
Windsor. This exhibit highlights some of our favorite pieces
in the state’s collection, a few of which have never been
publicly shown.
The Old Constitution House State Historic Site is operated
by the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation,
which is part of the Vermont Agency of Commerce and
Community Development. Located at 16 North Main
Street in Windsor, the site is open Saturdays and Sundays
through Oct. 13. For more information call 802-672-3773 or

Indigenous Peoples
Day celebrated in
Cavendish
Sunday, Oct. 13, at 2
p.m.—CAVENDISH—In
May 2019, Vermont
became the third state
in the country to officially
change the second
Monday of October from
Columbus Day to Indigenous
Peoples Day. Per
the law, the establishment
of this holiday “will aid in
the cultural development
of Vermont’s recognized
tribes, while enabling all
indigenous peoples in
Vermont and elsewhere
to move forward and
formulate positive outcomes
from the history of
colonization.”
Cavendish’s history
began more than 11,000
years ago with the first
people who utilized the
land for fishing, hunting
and traveling the Black
River.
On Sunday at 2 p.m.
at the Museum, 1958
Main St. Cavendish, the
Cavendish Historical
Society (CHS) will offer
an Indigenous Peoples
Day workshop. Presented
in two parts, it will begin
with a history of the first
peoples in the Okemo Valley
and will be followed by
a hands-on activity make
your own “talking stick.”
The “talking stick” is an
ancient tradition known
in many cultures including
Native American,
Aboriginal Australian
and African. Used to
facilitate communication
and listening, the person
holding the stick has the
right to speak, while those
in attendance must listen
quietly and respectfully.
It should be noted that
some cultures prefer other
objects (e.g. eagle feather
or sacred shell) in place of
a stick, but the purpose is
the same.
Over the years, schools,
businesses, families and
even couples have adopted
the Talking Stick concept.
It is a way to stop the
practice of “talking over”
and actively listening to a
speaker. Ultimately, this
makes a more mindful
speaker and listener, and
leads to the understanding
that a conversation is
not just talking, it’s also
thinking and listening.
Columbus Day has
been a day or mourning
for Native Americans.
Indigenous Peoples Day
offers an opportunity to
begin a new conversation,
one where the spirit of the
Talking Stick guides us to
listen as well as speak, so
that healing and building
together can take place.
The Indigenous Day
workshop is free and open
to the public. For more
information, call 802-226-
7807.

Nearly 300 attend Fall Sip & Shop
Over 270 people visited Downtown
Rutland on Thursday, Oct. 3, for the
Fall Sip & Shop.
The event featured 17 locallyowned
businesses hosting tastings of
19 Vermont brands over three hours.
Attendees tasted craft beverages such
as rye whiskey, gin, cider, beer, mead,
vodka and hard kombucha while
tasting cheese, gelato, sriracha, bison
jerky, chocolate, chai and maple syrup.
In addition to browsing the retail
shops while sampling, there was also
art available from local artisans, Wander
on Words and Basin Reclaimed.
The event, organized by the Downtown
Rutland Partnership, grew from
13 stops at the inaugural event in April,
to 17 stops this fall. “We had a wonderful
time seeing new and returning
faces to the district,” said Nikki Hindman,
marketing and events coordinator.
“Sip and shops are an exciting
opportunity to showcase downtown’s
incredible brick and mortar businesses
to new audiences while giving
the community an experience to shop
outside of normal retail hours.”
New vendor Liambru Tasty, a micro
brewery from Proctor, hosted its first
ever tasting at Star Barbershop and
debuted two new beers to eager visitors.
Co-owner Amy Ridlon remarked
that they had a great experience getting
to know the Rutland community,
visiting with old friends and making
new friends with the business owners
at their stop.
Tom Hubbard, owner of Mountain
View Bison, stated that the event was
“spectacular,” and noted he had lots
of fun while meeting nice, interesting
people at Grow Vermont.

6 ways to build your
mental muscle
By Abagael Giles, Vermont Sports
Most outdoor athletes, whether they are
just starting out or experts, will tell you that
fear is something they deal with often. Here
are six tips to help you take your performance
to the next level—whether that’s
on the sharp end of a rope, in the office or
getting ready to drop into a big line.
1. Find a good mentor
Whether you’re a paraglider, rock
climber, backcountry skier or paddler, you
can’t push your limits if you aren’t confident
in the skills you
have to mitigate the
risk of failure.
“One of the most
useful development
tools I’ve
found in high
consequence
sports is having a
good mentor who
can keep a close
eye on you and give direct feedback in the
moment,” said paragliding instructor Calef
Letorney. In paragliding, Letorney does that
by talking to a student through their flight
via radio from the air.
Petra Cliff’s Steve Charest echoes this
with rock climbing. “I try to teach my students
to communicate clearly what they’re
feeling early on,” he said. “I’ll often ascend
a rope next to a new lead climber and talk
with them about each piece of protection
[removable gear that anchors a climber
to the rock as they move up a face] as they
place it. That way, we both know that we’re
“Distance yourself from the
emotion that comes with
a thought... treat it with
objectivity ... and refocus
your energy on the task
ahead of you,” said Russell.
managing the risk… so they know what
it looks like to push themselves within a
reasonable set of parameters.”
2. Don’t expect or try to overcome fear
“Erase the mistaken notion that you
have to eradicate your fear,” said Roderick
Russell, a climber and one of the world’s
top sword swallowers. “Regardless of how
accomplished you are, you will deal with
challenging thoughts. Practice self-distancing
and find tricks that help you keep your
focus on the task
ahead of you while
you let fearful feelings
or thoughts
come and go.”
For recurring
fears, such as the
fear of getting
pumped out and
falling at the start
of leading a climb,
Russell recommends naming them. “Literally
call it Ted. Then, when the fear comes
back, say, ‘Hey Ted. Nice to see you again.’
Or, you can try playfully thanking your
brain for the observation. Once you do that,
it becomes a little easier to redirect your
focus to the task ahead of you.” His other
tip? “Laugh at yourself a little when you feel
afraid.”
3. Be task focused, not self focused
Russell teaches his clients and workshop
participants to practice what he calls a
“noticing” mindset.
“Often when we have a fearful thought,

The best deals if you want to ski around
By Abagael Giles, VT Ski & Ride
With dozens of multi-resort season passes, why ski in one place? Here are a few
ways to ski and ride around the state—and the world.
In the current era of massive multi-resort season passes, most ski areas do as much
as they can to incentivize skiers and riders to buy their
time on the hill before lifts start turning. And this year
there are more passes than ever. But keep in mind, many
of them (such as the Epic Pass) go off sale.
In Vermont, this can mean that you may pay a steep
price if you buy your ticket at the window the day you
plan to ski—but it also means that with a little foresight,
you can score some sweet deals.
Most ski areas offer lift tickets on a sliding scale, with
cheaper lift ticket rates on weekdays and heftier prices
on holidays like Christmas week, New Years,’ President’s
Day and Martin Luther King Jr. Day, along with weekends and Vermont’s life-saving
February break.
Stowe, Okemo, Stratton and Sugarbush all use dynamic pricing to sell their tickets,
meaning they change the price frequently to incentivize skiers to hit the slopes during
less-popular periods.
Arrive day-of on a holiday, and you may see a $200 ticket price at one of the larger
resorts because demand is high. Buy your tickets in October, and you can score as
Most ski areas offer lift tickets
on a sliding scale, with cheaper
lift ticket rates on weekdays and
heftier prices on holidays...
much as half off the average ticket price. That said, if you decide to make a spontaneous
trip to one of the state’s smaller ski areas you can still find deals. At Suicide Six,
Magic Mountain, Middlebury Snow Bowl and Burke, you can ski last minute for less
than $80. At Cochran’s Ski Area, a ticket is $19 a day and
at Hard’Ack it’s free!
But if you are planning to ski more than six days, a
season’s pass usually pays off. Here’s what’s on tap for
this season.
Ikon Pass
If you plan to ski around, this year’s Ikon Pass is
a great option. At $1,049 (23+), the Ikon Pass offers
unlimited skiing and riding at 14 resorts across North
America, including Stratton in Vermont, Tremblant
in Quebec and Steamboat, Colorado. The pass offers
seven days of skiing at each of 26 other ski areas across the northern and southern
hemispheres, including Killington, Pico and Sugarbush in Vermont; Loon Mountain
in N.H; Sugarloaf and Sunday River in Maine. New for this year, the pass added
seven days of skiing at Alta/Snowbird in Utah and Arapahoe Basin in Colorado, as
well as Switzerland’s Zermatt Matterhorn Ski Paradise, Europe’s highest ski area. Mt.
Butler in Australia is also a newcomer, as are Thredbo in Australia, Coronet Peak in

New Zealand and Valle Nevado in Chile. For $749, the
Ikon Base Pass offers unlimited skiing at 12 resorts
(including Mt. Tremblant) and up to five days of skiing
or riding at 28 resorts—many subject to blackout
dates. ikonpass.com.
Epic Pass
At $969 (13+) and $509 (5-12), the Epic Pass earns
skiers unlimited skiing and riding at 20 resorts including
Stowe Mountain Resort, Okemo Mountain Resort
and now to 17 Peak Resorts, including Mount Snow
and Wildcat and Attitash in
New Hampshire. It also offers
limited access to 40 ski
areas across Europe, Australia
and Japan. Notable Epic
Pass newcomers include
Snowbasin in Utah, Japan’s
Rusutsu and Australia’s Falls
Creek, Hotham and Perisher.
If you plan to ski at Okemo or Mount Snow this
season,the Epic Local Pass, at $719 (19+), $579 (13-18)
and $379 (5-12) is the way to go. The pass offers unlimited
access to 26 resorts, including Okemo and Mount
Snow, plus non-holiday skiing at Stowe and four other
ski areas, with limited days at a slew of resorts that
includes Vail, Beaver Creek and Whistler Blackcomb,
B.C. It’s also cheaper and more comprehensive than
the Peak Explorer Pass ($849).
Planning to ski fewer than seven days? Try the new
Epic Day Pass. By purchasing anywhere from one to
seven day tickets in advance, skiers earn as much as
50 percent off window lift ticket prices and access to
any of the 34 resorts Vail Resorts owns and operates in

Mental muscle: 6 ways to train your mind to help your body acheive challenging and risky physical feats
>
from page 33
we start spinning stories. It could be that we
will fall if we try that next climbing move, or
that we can’t accomplish the task ahead of
us because of x, y, or z, and those narratives
are distracting” said Roderick Russell.
“Learn to recognize that feeling. Accept the
information it offers you. Then, if you can
distance yourself from the emotion that
comes with a thought, you can separate
your sense of self from it, treat it with objectivity
instead of emotion, and refocus your
energy on the task ahead of you.”
4. Set process-oriented goals
While ambition can be a useful tool,
Russell recommends setting goals around
the way you engage with a sport rather
than outcomes such as climbing at a
particular grade or conquering your fear.
“With an outcome-oriented goal, your vision
of success is always in the future. But
if you focus instead on a set of values that
guide the way you move toward a given
goal, you’ll find more satisfaction in your
sport and likely make more progress,”
he said. For example, focus on climbing
fluidly and efficiently, or as smoothly as
possible, rather than on the full scope
of the task of completing a challenging
project or reaching the next grade.
“Play the long game,” said Letorney,
who, at 35 is still paddling big water and
completed a 37-mile solo flight in 2018.
“This is supposed to be fun, so play
within your comfort zone. If you’re always
operating at 80 percent of what you
think is possible over the course of your
career as an athlete, you can accomplish
a whole lot over a long career.”
5. Practice makes perfect
“At some point, you have to put yourself
in a moderately stressful situation to practice
these focus techniques,” said Russell.
“You have to swallow the sword or get out
on the rock.” He says the key is to do it in a
setting where you are comfortable with the
consequences of your failure.
For Russell, this means finding the
perfect balance between stress and your
ability. “You need to push outside your
comfort zone but not so far that you flood
your system with stress.”
For example, you may practice selfdistancing
while lead climbing at a grade
where you are confident, then pick a
sport climb at the next harder grade with
ample protection and an overhang, so
a fall doesn’t mean you will hit the rock
face. There, you can practice pushing your
limits.
“Most people know deep down when
something is scary and uncomfortable but

I’m a shy girl by nature, and it might take me a while to get
used to things, but let me tell you: I am really, really looking
forward to having somewhere I can call home, and a family
that loves me! I’m happy being around other cats, too, but
dogs (as well as over-excitable children) can really scare me.

Aries
March 21 - April 20
You have mundane concerns that are
testing your ability to put your money
where your mouth is. When it gets like this
you wish you could spin straw into gold.
Worry and fear have a tendency to feed
on themselves. Repetitive thoughts act to
multiply the angst, and because thoughts
are things, boom, there you sit perpetuating
the problem. The trick to creating our own
reality lies in being able to catch ourselves
before we tie too many issues up in knots.
Learning how to be at ease with the thought
that you really are supported by the Universe
is where it’s at this week.
Taurus
April 21 - May 20
You have your own way of doing
things. Most people don’t give themselves
this much leeway. In the past few
weeks it’s become quite clear that you’re
approach is either working – or it isn’t. By
the time you read this, several issues and
other bones of contention will reveal themselves
to be a hell of a lot different than they
look right now. Keep the faith. You’re here
for all the right reasons. What others have
to say about it shouldn’t weaken your resolve.
In the midst of more than one hassle,
you will be quite surprised when sudden,
serendipitous changes turn it all around.
Gemini
May 21 - June 20
Why everyone seems to be having
such a problem with you is a good
question. Doing your best to placate them
or win their approval won’t get you too far.
If you could be objective to this you would
see that whoever’s giving you a hard time
is actually threatened by your abilities, and
upset about the fact that you’re making
them look bad. There is nothing you can do
to tone it down just so they can feel better
about themselves, and no way to make
yourself less capable. Knowing how to outshine
everyone in sight without riling them
up is where things are at right now.
Cancer
June 21 - July 20
Knowing how to hang in there when
the going gets rough is a big part of
the lesson right now. With levels of stress
that challenge your desire to keep it all nice,
you get it, and lose it, from one day to the
next. Others keep giving you the opportunity
to see yourself. At times you wish you
could retreat to a place where all work and
no play came with a little satisfaction at the
end of the day. Don’t be disheartened. A
huge toll is being paid off in the issues that
you are wading through now. As you learn
how to take the good with the bad, being
OK with all of it is the key.
Leo
July 21 - August 20
If others could be there for you, or come
up with the words to tell you how sorry
they are, they would do it in a heartbeat.
When you are willing and able to hear it
there will be silence in heaven for a good
30 minutes. Part of what you perceive to
be a problem relates to the way you’ve
decided things went. All of this is understandable.
What you have not yet been able
to see is the way it went for others. Now
that everyone’s old enough to know better,
maybe it’s time to bury the hatchet or
at least begin to explore forgiveness and its
place in the scheme of things.
Virgo
August 21 - September 20
The roller coaster has reached the point
where you’re ready to get off and take
yourself elsewhere. Enough is enough. After
months of back and forth and up and
down, the PTSD is off the charts. Those
who have come to depend too heavily on
your time and input have been looking for
ways to keep you on the hook. You aren’t
interested. The need to feel like it’s up to
you to make sure everyone has a life is totally
insane. You lost track of your own a
while back. It’s time to reclaim pieces of
yourself and get some sense of continuity
back into the schedule.
Libra
September 21 - October 20
Your situation is always complicated.
This has something to do with the
fact that so many people rely upon you to
be the glue that holds everything together.
You understand and accept this, but you’re
at a point where you’ve had enough. In the
midst of this, something in you has woken
up to your true calling. Whatever that happens
to be is being weighed against existing
obligations. You have been so good, and
have been there for so many others, at this
point your soul is ready to form the foundation
for what will amount to a healthier
connection to yourself and your own needs.
Scorpio
October 21 - November 20
This feels a whole lot better than what
was going on a few months ago.
Something about getting off your butt and
moving on has opened the floodgates and
you are alive again. With all this radiance
streaming out of your heart you are bound
to attract people and things that reinvigorate
your desire to make a difference. Who
and what shows up to save the day will
be different for each of you. As much as
you’re excited about all of this, if you’ve
learned anything about life and love, knowing
enough to wait before you give yourself
up to anything would be a wise idea.

Sagittarius
November 21 - December 20
It’s a good thing you have an easy time
and can make the most of whatever happens
when everyone else is down for the
count. This endless supply of energy is in
a supercharged state that will allow you to
carry on no matter what. Don’t fret about
whether you’ve got what it takes. You’ve
proven yourself in the past. Lots of things
are up in the air. The key to keeping up
the good work revolves around maintaining
the connection to your inner being. For
the next few weeks it would be great if you
could retreat to a place where your inner
resources feed your outer life.
Capricorn
December 21 - January 20
Life is calling you to live up to your Capricornian
strength. Little did you know
that it would come to this. Some of you are
already there, and will have no problem
putting your money where your mouth is.
Others? Well, the tendency to expect others
to provide you with more backbone needs
to be closely monitored. What you externalize
needs to be embodied within your
own being. Your ultimate potential will
wither and die if you can’t grok this. If this
rings true, it’s time to wake up, grow up,
and stop praying for Daddy (or Mommy)
to show up and bail you out.
Aquarius
January 21 - February 20
You’ve been running the show for
people who are too scattered to handle
themselves. Staying on top of things gets
complicated when you have to do everyone’s
thinking for them. While your motives
are pure, there’s an outside chance
that people who don’t have what it takes
to stand on their own are taking advantage
of you. Look closely at this. Over time you
could wind up burning out, and become
very bitter about the fact that you gave way
too much to the wrong people. Turn on the
discernment switch. It’s no crime to “Just
say no” when situations call for it.
Pisces
February 21 - March 20
You keep so much to yourself it’s hard
to tell how all of this sits with you. As
more than one person tries to dissect your
motives you are either blissfully unaware,
or keeping them guessing. Having been accused
of things that stem from other people’s
fears and their paranoia, many of you
are being targeted with stuff that has nothing
to do with you. At the moment you are
in the crosshairs of issues that could easily
wipe a lesser mortal out. Keep the faith, my
friend. It’s your integrity that has everyone
flummoxed. Stay true to it and no one will
have any power over you.

for the next 48 hours, and over
the course of the next 28-day
period.
The Aquarius Moon reminds
me to pay more attention to my
own life as well. Why? Because
even though my natal or tropical
chart shows that I am a Virgo with an Aries Moon,
in what is known as the draconic system, I am a Leo
with an Aquarius Moon. If all of this is news to you,
draconic astrology goes all the way back to Babylonian
times and probably even further. In the modern
era, it was Edgar Cayce
who resurrected this
system. It first came to
my attention back in the
late 1960s when I started
studying Cayce and his
work.
As some of you know,
Edgar Cayce was a seer
and a prophet. Known as
‘The Sleeping Prophet,”
he did all of his readings
in a trance or a dream
state. Whenever he channeled
for people, more

often than not, he included an astrological analysis.
After the fact, when these channelings were reviewed,
it became apparent that the positions of the signs and
the planets in Cayce’s readings bore no resemblance
to any of the signs and planetary positions in the
tropical charts.
When asked about this, Cayce explained that he
was using a different system of calculation. In the
draconic system, the planets and angles in the tropical
chart are recalculated. Their positions are adjusted
according to the distance in degrees between the
North Node of the moon, and what is known as the
Aries Point. That interval is added to or subtracted
from every planet and point in the birth chart. The
result is the draconic horoscope. According to Cayce,

Firewood physiology
This week feels like fall proper. It’s gray, drizzly, in the
50s — the kind of weather that makes you realize you’d
better batten down the house for winter.
We’re going to get to the first fire of the year in a moment,
that pathetic, smoldering pile of
hissing wood in your woodstove
that you made such a big deal
about. “Come here, kids!” for the
ceremonial lighting of the hearth,
which turned into the ceremonial
opening of the doors and windows
to let the smoke out of the living
The Outside
Story
By Dave
Mance III
room. (Write what you know, the
English professors advise.)
But first let’s talk about the
physiology of a tree.
Trees, like most living things,
are full of water. You can imagine
a piece of firewood as a mixed bundle of hollow and solid
cardboard tubes. The hollow tubes are vessel cells that
move water. The solid tubes are fibers that help make wood
strong. When a tree is felled, water is trapped in the hollow
cell cavities (called lumens), as well as in the cell walls.
The amount of water per cell is miniscule, but multiply it
by trillions and it really adds up. According to an Extension
Service bulletin, one cord of red oak weighs 4,888 pounds
when it’s green and 3,528 pounds when it’s dry. Divide the
difference by 8.3 pounds – the weight of a gallon of water –
and we learn that 164 gallons disappears, per cord, in the
evaporation process.
So all this water has to migrate out of the wood before
it will burn well. Water moves more easily with the wood’s
grain than across the grain, so the path of least resistance is
out the ends of the wood. In other words, the shorter your
pieces, the shorter the trip. Some will evaporate through
the sides, so you can also speed up the process by splitting
each chunk. Bark essentially exists to keep moisture in, so a
piece with four cut faces will dry more quickly than a piece
with the bark still on. And the smaller you split each piece,
the easier it will be for the water to get out.
Now, you split your wood in the spring, just like you were
supposed to, and the water’s still hissing out the ends of it
in your stove in October. So why didn’t it dry right? Well,
the drying process depends on three things: temperature,
turbidity, and time. (I’m hearing the “Three T’s” in
the voice of Peter Lammert, a Forest Service icon
from Maine from whom I learned the phrase.)
Obviously, heat aids drying. The best place
to put a wood pile is in the same full-sun location
you’d put a vegetable garden. Stack the
wood, don’t leave it in a volcanic-looking heap,
so the sun can touch each piece.
The importance of turbidity – i.e.
air flow – is often overlooked. Best
practice is to stack your firewood so
that the prevailing wind is perpendicular
and can blast the face of the
entire row. A single long row is going to have better airflow
than a block of stacked wood or a volcano. A tarp or some
plastic on the top of a pile to keep rain off is alright, but do
not wrap the pile; you want the wind to blow through and
you want the moisture to be able to get out. If you build
a woodshed, make the walls like a pallet so air can get
through.
Unfortunately, as with all facets of life, the time part is
the most difficult to reckon with. The reality is that most
people rush their wood. Buying wood in the fall with the
idea that you’ll burn it that winter is a rookie move that
won’t end well – anyone with at least one year of wood
burning experience knows this. But cutting, splitting, stacking
in spring, the way so many of us do it (including me), is
still not optimal. In my experience, green hardwood that’s
been split and stacked for six months will still give you only
mediocre fires. By about month 9 the wood will be decent.
By month 12 it’ll finally be where you want it. All of which is
to say that we should really be getting a full year ahead. The
old timers with the neatly stacked piles that you never see
go down because they sit the first winter are the ones who
are doing it right.
“The old-timers with time,” you’re thinking, late for this
or that. I hear you. And so we do the best we can. If you can
fit a few days’ worth of mediocre fall wood into the living
room next to the woodstove, the heat from the fire will be
an effective cheat. If you get lemony looks, point out to your
partner that the drying wood will moisturize the room and
expose the kids to dust and microbes so they won’t grow
up soft and asthmatic like the poor buggers in neat-freak
urban homes.

sensation and short term in
nature. Pleasure does not fulfill
us; we want more of it. Many
people seek to find happiness
through material goods or
increased riches. While a new
item or increased riches may provide a temporary
high (pleasure), they do not result in happiness.
Happiness is contentment and is more enduring.
Happiness is fulfilling.
One can be happy during periods of pleasurable
sensations or painful trials. Happiness is not a
derivative of circumstance. Circumstances can make
it easier or more difficult to be happy, but they do not
dictate the level of contentment we must feel consistently
in our lives.
Comparison is one
of the greatest detractors
to happiness.
When we compare
ourselves to others,
there are two outcomes:
we feel worse
about ourselves, or
we put others down
Happiness
is not a
derivative of
circumstance.
to temporarily lift ourselves up. Neither outcome
promotes happiness.
Another pitfall to happiness is boredom.
When we are bored and let our mind wander, they
tend to go to negative, unhappy thoughts. This isn’t
to say that being alone or having a “me” day is bad. In
fact, having purposeful thoughts and reflection are
contributors to happiness. It’s all about controlling
our thoughts.
People aren’t born happy. There is no known gene
for happiness. Happiness is often the result of small,
daily activities compounded over time. These activities
include:
• Reflect on past, think purposely about today
• Be in the present – that is where life is experienced
• Appreciate the simple things in life
• Practice gratitude
• Be actively engaged in good works

A guide to Vermont foliage and its unique leaf color
As Route 4 and Route 100 and every
other road with trees along are
doing the “foliage thing” you can
help your fellow down country
travelers and increase your own
credibility by sharing your tree
leaf color knowledge.
Unlike most of the country
that is awash in yellows in the fall
(especially out West) our most
common forest tree in Vermont is
the one that gives us the unique colors
missing in most other areas – the
orange and reds of the sugar maple.
The unique red, orange, yellow
and sometimes even purple color
of the Vermont leaves are the result
of the chemicals called anthocyanins
from built up sugars. These
chemicals produce a red pigment
that becomes visible with leaves
begin to die as the days grow shorter,
the weather changes and trees no
longer produce as much chlorophyll
(which keeps the leaves healthy and
appearing green).
Killington’s steep hillsides make
a perfect showcase for fall color and
when you add the views from Kent
Pond or a trip up to Killington Peak
on the gondola.
Fall foliage appears everywhere,
surrounding you! From the oaks
along the River Road, to the beautiful
maple and birch forests at Gifford
Woods State Park and most forested
hillsides, to the upper elevation
birches and mountain ash on the
upper slopes of Killington color
abounds.
As the season progresses, travel
lower in elevation for the best colors.
Valleys can be weeks behind the
mountains’ peak foliage.

All about the eyes
Options for correcting vision are very different today
compared to yesteryear. Back then glasses were the
solution when you were no longer
seeing 20/20. By the ’70s contact
lenses became popular and now
it’s Lasik surgery.
One of the first places to
discover that you need glasses
is in a school classroom. That
is exactly what happened to
me. I was having trouble seeing
Looking Back
By Mary Ellen Shaw
what the teacher wrote on the
blackboard. This was in the 50s
when I was in the sixth grade. My
parents were notified and a visit
to the eye doctor soon followed.
Very few of my fellow students wore glasses but just
like me one of my best friends was having difficulty
seeing the blackboard also.
Both of us found out that we needed glasses and
wanted to get the same style frames. I guess “misery
likes company,” as they say!
My friend went to the optical store first and she
selected a pair of plaid frames. Of course, I wanted to
get some just like them. So when my mother and I went
to select my glasses I ordered the same kind. We never
really got tired of the plaid as the frames went with
everything and we thought they were pretty “cool!”
The words that the teacher wrote on the blackboard
became much clearer. Fortunately, neither my friend
nor I had to wear our glasses all the time. When the
school day was over the glasses came off.
But as we got older that changed and glasses became
a full time “accessory.” The style changed over the years
from small frames to large ones and then back to small.
Cat-eye glasses were popular for awhile in the ‘50s. The
‘60s brought in the horn-rim style that gave both men
and women alike the “nerdy” look.
I remember when I was a teenager in the ‘60s I got
prescription sunglasses and was thrilled to be able to
go to the pool or beach and see everything that was going
on. I remember I would wear those sunglasses until
it got so dark that my vision was compromised and I
had to change over to my regular glasses.
In browsing through some online fashion sites for
the ’60s I found reference to the fact that glasses are
“the outer manifestation of the inner personality.”

glasses. If you
have to wear
them, glasses
might as well
be part of your
persona.
In the ’70s,
contact lenses
became popular. The hard contact lenses came along
first. They were the type that most of my friends had.
But as I watched them put the contacts in their eyes
I knew I didn’t want anything to do with them. My
parents were probably glad they didn’t have to hear
my plea to get them. However, when the soft lenses became
popular I was definitely interested. They are still
popular today and are made from flexible plastic. This
allows oxygen to flow through the contact lens to the
cornea. Everyone who had them told me how comfort-
Looking back > 43
“Saturday Night Live” began its run on television in
1975. I started watching sometime around 1977. I was
just getting to the age where I would sneak downstairs
on the weekends and turn the TV back on so I could
watch the risqué shows that only aired during late
night.
I remember one specific moment
when my father caught me
and subsequently yelled at me.
He was angry that I had snuck
out of bed, but he was more upset
that I was watching “SNL.”
“I don’t want you watching
that show,” he bellowed. “They
The Movie
Diary
By Dom Cioffi
make fun of the president and
it’s not right.”
I’ve never forgotten that moment.
I was
just
evolving to a
point where
statements like these made me consider
what was being said. Shouldn’t
humor encompass all people and
things? Isn’t that censorship? And if
it is censorship, isn’t that wrong?
The truth was, they were using
the president as political folly.
Chevy Chase rose to fame on the
back of his impersonation of
President Gerald Ford and every
president since has faced the same
ridicule at the hands of the “SNL”
cast. (Obviously, our current president
has provided ample subject
matter for a sketch comedy show,
but that’s a different story.)
I’ve continued to watch “SNL”
through the years, always giving
new cast members a shot to impress
me. Some years I struggle
to watch; other years I’m pining
for the next episode.
I’m at the point now where I do not watch television
anymore other than “Saturday Night Live,” and that
includes Netflix, Hulu, HBO and all the other streaming
services. Every time people talk about “Game of
Thrones” or some other trending show, I’m happily in
the dark. The way I see it, there’s only so much time left,
and I’d rather be spending it doing something more
constructive than watching TV.
However, I will admit to watching YouTube videos
at night. I can get sucked into a hole watching those.
Generally, I’m attuned to concert videos and guitar
lessons, but occasionally I’ll end up on some ridiculous
“Dr. Phil” episode because the clickbait title gave me
no other choice.
After last week’s season premiere of “SNL,” I began
watching videos of Billie Eilish, who had been the
musical guest for that first show. Her performance intrigued
me. She’s not at all the pop princess that we’ve
come to expect in recent years. Instead she is quirky
and foreboding. And her music is markedly different
even if it is as dark as her demeanor.
I became intrigued with this young artist, so I did
some background checking. And while I was afraid that
I would discover that she was just another fabricated
artist propped up by a studio, in fact, she and her older
brother wrote and produced all their own music in the
bedroom of their family’s home.
It’s safe to say that Billie Eilish is blowing up right
now. And whether you like her music or not, you have
to appreciate that she’s a breath of fresh air in an overwrought
music industry intent on forcefeeding recipe
artists to the public ad nauseam.
Ironically, this past week’s musical guest on “SNL”
Cracking up
was Taylor Swift, who, while very talented, is the polar
opposite of Billie Eilish.
The bottom line is that pop music has plenty of
room for new and interesting musical genres. The last
20 years have seen the music charts basically commandeered
by a very limited scope of styles, most of
which (in my opinion) are way too over-produced to
seem “real.”
Historically, “Saturday Night Live” has been a
launching pad for new musical acts. If you get to their
stage, you’ve got a legitimate shot at top-tier fame
given the audience that’s watching. It’s also an opportunity
to completely tank an artist’s momentum if they
fail to pull it off effectively.
Billie Eilish hit a homerun when given her chance.
She took a catchy song with an interesting hook and
matched it with a unique stage delivery that allowed
her quirky nature to come shining through. I’m not
saying she’s the next Madonna,
but I have to give her credit for
being fresh and unique while
making music worth listening
to.
Unique would be one way of
describing Arthur Fleck, the main
character in this week’s feature,
“Joker,” starring Joaquin Phoenix.
In this origin story, the Joker’s
claim to infamy is outlined, complete
with his disastrous descent
into mental illness and unlikely
rise as a counter-culture icon.
As dark and disturbing as
this film was, I really enjoyed it.
Phoenix gives an Oscar-worthy
performance as the Joker with all
the subtleties involved with such a
complex character.
Check this one out if you’re in
the mood for a true psychological
thriller. And it should be noted: this
is not a typical superhero movie.
Younger audiences will not enjoy this picture as it is
devoid of traditional superhero trappings. This is more
“Taxi Driver” than “The Avengers.”
An unhinged “A-” for “Joker.”

Tree talk: How leaves change color
from page 40
Colors of the forest
Sugar Maple: orange, yellow, red
Red Maple: scarlet
Striped Maple: yellow
Beech: yellow
Birches: clear yellow
Aspens: clear yellow
Ash: brownish yellow, purple
Oaks: orange, red
Basswood: yellow
Hickories: yellow
Mountain Ash: red
Elm: yellow
Cherries: yellow, red, orange
Willow: yellow
Larch: yellow
One “uglier” color change that will appear on some
maple, beech, and birch hillsides again this fall is brown
followed by early leaf fall. It is caused by maple leaf cutter,
an insect that leaves leaves looking shot up (full of circular
holes) and turning brown. Because it is late in the growing
season, little actual damage is done to the tree. While the
insects are back again this year, there is still much color to
satisfy our leaf peeping. Enjoy the show while it lasts!

if the tropical chart outlines the issues of the personality
and the ego in any given incarnation, the draconic
chart maps out the individual’s karmic or spiritual
concerns.
One could say that the draconic horoscope is the
soul map.
If this seems a little too aerie-faerie, it is not. When
the draconic chart is superimposed over the tropical
horoscope, a secondary set of aspects is formed that
reveal a great deal about a person. It is also the case
that when analyzing transits and progressions or even
points in a solar return,
the aspects that are
formed to the draconic
chart will yield tremendous
insight into an
individual and their issues
at any given point
in time.

able they were compared to the hard type.
By the mid-’70s I was ready to give them a try. Dr.
Brannon fitted me and they arrived about a week before
my wedding. Not the best timing to adjust to them!
But I managed to walk
down the aisle, seeing
everyone clearly.
Contacts served me well
until the time came for
needing reading glasses. The lenses that allow a person
to see both distance and close up did not work well for
me. The doctor tried a distance lens in one eye and a
close-up lens in the other.
That didn’t work well either.
It was time to put vanity aside and go back to glasses.
I remember that my parents’ glasses had a small

milestones, points in time where the lessons hit a little
harder and evoke changes that go a lot deeper.
Anyone who decides to get their chart read would
do well to ask the astrologer to talk to them about their
draconic horoscope. It’s a good idea to know about
these things, if only to be reminded that life isn’t just
about our mundane concerns. Beyond all of that we
have a soul, and that aspect of our consciousness has
a purpose that transcends whatever the personality
thinks it’s doing here. Over time, once an individual
gets past the distractions that keep us focused on
outer things, the draconic chart becomes more important,
more of a touchstone that guides us closer to
our higher self. Let me leave you with that and invite
you to take what you can from this week’s ‘scopes.

Varilux lenses eliminate that need. They have no visible
area that indicates the transition spot from far to close.
They work perfectly. Another great invention is transition
lenses. They darken
in the sunlight so separate
sun glasses are no longer
needed for outdoors.
Looking back often
makes me wish that things could have remained the
way they were back in yesteryear. But in this case both
contacts and glasses have come a long way. I, for one,
am grateful! Wonder what will be next? It seems like
there is nothing to improve on when it comes to correcting
one’s vision.
But I bet something comes along!
