MIDDLEBURY  ROTARY  MEMBER  Judy  Brown,  right,  administers  polio  vaccine  to  a  young  child  in  north-­ western  India  as  part  of  a  recent  humanitarian  trip.

By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  The  Middle-­ bury  Rotary  Club  is  well  known  for  its  good  works  in  and  around  Addi-­ son  County’s  shire  town.

But  members  of  the  group  are  now  increasingly  making  a  philanthropic  impact  in  all  corners  of  the  world.

Two  of  those  members,  Judy  Brown  and  Jason  Schnoor,  recent-­ ly  returned  from  trips  to  India  and  Ghana,  respectively,  during  which  they  helped  further  Rotary  Inter-­ national’s  efforts  to  eradicate  polio  and  provide  clean  water  to  rural  vil-­ lagers.

These  trips  not  only  resulted  in  critical,  health-­related  services  be-­ ing  extended  to  people  in  need,  but  made  life-­long  impressions  on  the  travelers  who  are  now  excitedly  sharing  their  experiences  with  oth-­ ers. “It  was  wonderful,�  a  beaming  Brown  said  of  her  trip  to  India,  dur-­ (See  Mission,  Page  36)

Parker eyes restitution as partner readies plea

Heidi  Brousseau killed  in  car  crash  on  Route  17  west Storyteller  hopes  ADDISON  —  An  Addison  to  repay  investors woman  was  killed  late  Wednes-­ day  afternoon  in  a  one-­car  crash  on  Route  17  near  the  intersection  with  Jersey  Street  in  West  Addi-­ son.

Vermont  State  Police  said  Hei-­ di  Brousseau,  54,  was  killed  at  around  4  p.m.  on  April  3  after  the  2002  Chevy  Tahoe  she  was  driv-­ ing  westbound  on  Route  17  left  the  south  side  of  the  road  and  hit  a  series  of  trees  before  coming  to  rest.  A  local  resident  said  the  accident  happened  in  the  curve  between  Jersey  Street  South  and  Church  Street,  behind  the  Meth-­ odist  church.

Brousseau,  the  only  occupant  of  the  vehicle,  was  pronounced  dead  at  the  scene.

The  Tahoe  was  totaled.

Police  on  Wednesday  evening  said  they  were  still  investigating  the  exact  cause  of  her  death  and  the  cause  of  the  accident  itself,  but  they  did  not  suspect  alcohol  was  involved.  The  weather  was  clear  and  the  road  was  dry.

Brousseau  operated  Heidi  Brousseau  Accounting  Services  out  of  Addison  and  Williston.  The  company  offered  accounting,  bookkeeping  and  payroll  services.

By  JOHN  S.  McCRIGHT ADDISON  —  As  his  silent  partner  in  a  failed  movie  project  prepares  to  plead  guilty  in  federal  court  to  fraud  charges  next  week,  Addison  resident  Mac  Parker  is  working  to  do  what  he  can  to  erase  the  black  mark  against  his  name. “Clearly He’s  doing  that  by  writing  books  I made a and  planning  other  mistake creative  projects  — that through  which  much was he  hopes  to  raise  a personal money  to  pay  off  mistake.â€? investors  in  “Birth  — Mac of  Innocence.â€?  Parker 7KDW ÂżOP ZDV LQ the  works  for  near-­ ly  a  decade  until  state  authorities  in  2009  put  a  halt  to  Parker’s  efforts  to  raise  money  to  pay  for  production,  and  federal  authorities  in  2012  ac-­ cepted  Parker’s  promise  to  plead  guilty  to  swindling  his  investors. “Clearly  I  made  a  mistake  —  that  much  was  a  personal  mistake,â€?  Park-­ er  said  in  an  interview  with  the  Inde-­ pendent.  “The  most  painful  thing  to  me  is  that  I  involved  other  people  ‌  stupid  mistake.â€?

Malcolm  “Macâ€?  Parker,  55,  For  that  I  am  deeply  sorry. “I  live  with  the  fact  that  other  gained  fame  in  the  1980s  and  1990s  people  are  suffering  because  of  my  as  a  Vermont  storyteller  entertaining  crowds  at  festivals  as  well  as  creat-­ ing  a  popular  video  that  introduced  children  to  farm  life  in  Vermont.  In  1999  the  well-­liked  entertainer  began  soliciting  funds  for  a  new  project  —  “Birth  of  Innocence,â€?  a  ¿OP IRFXVHG RQ KXPDQVÂś VSLULWXDO essence.  He  had  remarkable  success  getting  many  Vermonters  to  loan  him  money  with  a  guarantee  of  a  relatively  high  rate  of  return. “Time  after  time  people  said,  ‘I  know  exactly  what  you  mean.’  I  was  communicating  with  these  people. Â

MALCOLM  “MAC�  PARKER I  began  to  recognize  how  common  and  deep  a  feeling  this  was,�  Parker  said.

What  he  wasn’t  telling  people  he  asked  for  money  was  that  he  was  in  partnership  with  Louis  J.  Soteriou,  a  Middlebury,  Conn.,  chiropractor  whom  he  and  his  wife  had  known  for  10  years.  Through  years  of  treatment  that  included  invocations  of  god  and  surrendering  to  a  higher  power,  So-­ teriou  became  a  spiritual  adviser  to  Parker,  according  to  Parker  and  his  lawyer,  John  L.  Pacht.  Pacht  de-­ scribed  the  “nature  of  Mac’s  rela-­ tionship  with  Soteriou  (as)  one  of  a  student  to  a  master.�

Demographics,  Burlington  and  the  future  of  Vermont

If  one  were  to  visualize  Vermont  as  a  glacier  at  the  sea’s  edge  and  if  those  counties  losing  population  were  shown  as  falling  into  the  sea,  the  only  part  yet  to  fall  would  be  the  state’s  northwest  corner  —  Chittenden,  Lamoille,  Grand  Isle  and  Franklin  counties.  All  other  counties  are  underwater.

It’s  most  dramatic  in  the  state’s  southern  tier,  according  to  a  report  by  the  Vermont  Economy  Newsletter.  In  the  two-­year  period  from  2010-­2012,  Rut-­ land  County  lost  691  people,  Windham  County  lost  505,  Windsor  County  lost  416,  Bennington  County  lost  394  and  Washington  County  lost  135.  Ad-­ dison  County  was  in  negative  territory,  but  just  barely,  losing  only  45.  The  Northeast  Kingdom  —  Essex,  Orange  and  Orleans  counties  —  lost  as  well;͞  however,  the  numbers  were  lower  than  those  in  the  southern  part  of  the  state.

The  growth  center  is  Chittenden  County,  which  added  1,693  inhabitants.  Franklin  County  added  425,  Lamoille  County  added  423  and  Grand  Isle  PDQDJHG WR ¿QG VSDFH IRU DQ DGGLWLRQDO SHRSOH Even  among  those  four  counties  that  added  population,  only  Lamoille  managed  to  grow  at  a  rate  that  equaled  the  national  average.

Only  Chittenden  and  Lamoille  counties  could  boast  of  a  migration  rate  that  showed  more  people  moving  in  than  moving  out.  (Franklin  County  shows  population  growth  because  its  birth  rate  exceeds  its  death  rate.)

Letters to the Editor Terminally ill patients have rights The inalienable right of the patient to choose life or death is the issue. Physicians and surgeons with thousands of hours and years of training to save life have no desire to lose the struggle.

In Vermont’s End-­of-­life Choices Bill, the social, legal and moral issues must be addressed in reasonable logical laws and legislation to guide us all in the proper manner to deliver the care and humanity to the unfortunate brothers and sisters so affected DQG DIÀLFWHG 7KH YHU\ SULYDWH pact and relationship between the physician, the patient and/or fam-­ ily wishes must be primary with no outside judgments.

Now retired after 40 years’ experience as an active trauma surgeon, I was often exposed to others’ much, much pain, suffer-­ ing and death. A very, very few multiple system trauma cases in the modern day were beyond hope of survival. The hopelessly termi-­ nal patient, whatever the cause, needs relief from pain and suffer-­ ing. They have the right to choose.

The Hippocratic Oath requires no less. This is possible. No mythol-­ ogy but rather pragmatic, logical, reasonable, dispassionate solu-­ tions are possible and desirable.

Be courageous, be bold.

Frank H. Russell, M.D. Bridport

Wind towers mar state’s landscape Driving across northern Ver-­ mont this past month I was star-­ tled with the fact that our focus on our landscape has completely changed.

Going to and from St. Albans it’s the wind towers and Georgia Mountain that dominates. Mount 0DQV¿HOG DQG WKH VXUURXQGLQJ hills took a back seat.

Going to Newport and coming back by way of Lyndon towers again dominate the views and ridge tops.

Towers could be seen from the back roads in the most unexpected places.

If the towers are to be put upon the Seneca Range a Vermonter or tourist will never be able to drive across northern Vermont and not see a tower. Will the state tourism guide depict pris-­

tine towers amongst the foliage, with words, “Come see Vermont, a tower sighting virtually from every Kingdom road”? Will we have words proudly proclaiming how Vermont managed to bring global warning to the forefront of the world’s consciousness in four short years? I get the feeling they are laughing at us and elated WKDW WKH\ ¿QDOO\ JRW 9HUPRQW WR conform.

Some Vermonters proclaim that the towers are the saviors to global warming. Some Vermont-­ ers know they are being trampled upon and losing their mountains, their views and their identity. And the vast majority will be scratch-­ ing their heads and wondering what the hell just happened.

Letter (Continued from Page 4) a bit further, Sen. Bray also voted for a $600,000 severance package for Mr. Fogel. Our 7-­cent gas tax increase would work out to .003 percent of this amount. That’s .003 cents per dollar of income. Not sure anyone in that income bracket is going to notice a gas tax, even if they trade the Prius for a Hummer.

What is my point? Our governor and Democratic legislators are not proposing to keep taxes where they are, or to raise taxes on the wealthy, or to raise taxes across the board. They are currently work-­ ing to dramatically raise taxes on

working people while defending and strengthening wealth inequal-­ ity. This is true of the proposed gas tax, the proposed beverage tax sponsored by Mike Fisher, and the proposal to cut the earned income credit introduced by the governor.

They have said and will continue to say that there are no other op-­ tions. It is important that we chal-­

lenge that math.

Shifting tax burdens onto work-­ ing people is not our only option.

Unless, of course, our party and our reelections demand the myth that protecting the middle class is impossible without an act of Congress.

Think  it  through  when  charities  come  calling By  MARY  CONLON Think  no  one  uses  regular  mail  or  old-­ fashioned  landline  telephones  anymore?  Think  again.  Especially  when  it  comes  to  soliciting  charitable  contributions  from  senior  citizens,  a  population  known  among  fundraisers  for  three  things:  opening  their  mail,  answering  their  phones  and  being  generous  and  trusting  with  their  money.

Sorting  out  the  many  organizations  that  call  and  send  small  gifts  like  labels,  notepads  and  calendars  with  their  requests  for  contributions  can  be  challenging  and  very  confusing.  Many  national  organizations  hire  professional  fundraisers  who  take  a  percentage  of  the  contributions  to  cover  their  FRVWV DQG SURÂżWV 0DQ\ JURXSV KDYH VLPLODU names,  then  buy  and  sell  lists  of  contributors Â

enjoyed  for  many  years.  Bolton,  who  also  works  at  Elderly  Services,  has  been  organizing  the  contra  dance  series  at  Cornwall  Town  Hall  for  close  to  three  years  with  her  husband,  Andrew  Munkres,  and  their  â&#x20AC;&#x153;old  timeâ&#x20AC;?  band,  Red  Dog  Riley.  She  says  that  part  of  the  appeal  for  seniors  DV ZHOO DV \RXQJ DQG PLGGOH DJHG SHRSOH LV the  variety  of  participants  at  the  events.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  is  often  a  core  group  of  mature  dancers,â&#x20AC;?  Bolton  says,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;but  there  is  always  a  surprising  mix  of  people  who  show  up.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  arenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  a  lot  of  events  in  the  community  where  you  get  such  a  multi-­ generational  mix  of  people.â&#x20AC;?  For  seniors,  the  positive  energy  of  live  music,  dancing  and  buzz  of  new  people  offers  an  easy  way  to  stay  optimistic  about  life.

Contra  dancing  events  are  usually  informal  and  open  to  anyone  who  shows  up.  Dancing  skills  and  a  strong  memory  for  all  the  steps  and  sequences  are  not  required,  (See  Dancing,  Page  21)

Another  area  of  confusion  is  the  professional  associations  that  hire  out-­of-­state  telemarketers  to  do  their  fundraising  by  phone.  These  include,  for  example,  the  unions  representing  SURIHVVLRQDO ¿UH¿JKWHUV DQG SROLFH RI¿FHUV While  one  can  debate  the  merits  of  these  Vermont  organizations  using  paid  fund-­raisers,  many  people  who  receive  the  telemarketing  calls  do  not  readily  realize  that  these  organizations  are  unions  and  contributions  to  them  are  not  tax-­deductible,  even  though  that  is  stated  in  the  pitch  for  donations  or  follow-­up  (See  Charities,  Page  19)

I need a break from caregiving, but my mom refuses to stay with anyone else!

Most caregivers will know what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re talking about! The elder needing supervision often says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My family can take care of me,â&#x20AC;? or â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m fine by myself.â&#x20AC;? As the caregiving adult child you are probably hesitant to insist that your parent accept new help. You might say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel guilty leaving Mom with someone else, like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m being selfish.â&#x20AC;?

The decision to begin â&#x20AC;&#x153;paid helpâ&#x20AC;? is a major one for a family. In our opinion, most families wait way too long. Adult children can become frustrated and irritable. Homebound elders can suffer boredom and loneliness.

Weight  control (Continued  from  Page  17) gard  to  what  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  eating  but  also  how  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  eating  and  even  how  you  shop  for  food.  Men  and  women  used  to  dining  out  for  lunch  ev-­ ery  day  can  start  bringing  their  own  lunches  so  they  can  gain  greater  control  of  their  daily  FDORULF LQWDNH )RU WKRVH ZKR ÂżQG WKH\ÂśUH IUH-­ quently  too  exhausted  to  cook  each  night,  they  can  prepare  meals  in  advance  to  have  healthy,  homemade  meals  waiting  instead  of  always  or-­ dering  takeout  or  delivery.  When  shopping  for  food,  people  should  avoid  doing  so  on  an  emp-­ ty  stomach  so  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  less  inclined  to  buy  un-­ healthy  snacks.

Exercise  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Exercise  is  another  essential  component  to  shedding  pounds  after  50,  though  men  and  women  over  50  should  always  consult  a  physician  before  they  begin  a  new  exercise  regimen.  The  Centers  for  Disease  Con-­ trol  and  Prevention  points  out  that  regular  exercise  can  help  older  men  and  women  prevent  the  onset  of  a  host  of  ail-­ ments,  including  heart  disease  and  diabetes.  In  addition,  the  CDC  notes  that  regular  physical  ac-­ tivity  as  one  ages  helps  muscles  grow  stron-­ ger,  which  increases  the  chances  that  an  individu-­ al  will  be  able  to  perform  necessary  daily  activities  without  the  assistance  of  others.  Maintaining  that  independence  into  older  adulthood  is  a  goal  for Â

many  men  and  women,  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  goal  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  far  more  realistic  for  men  and  women  who  exer-­ cise  than  it  is  for  those  who  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.

When  coupled  with  a  healthy,  low-­calorie  diet,  routine  exercise  can  help  men  and  women  over  50  shed  extra  weight  and  keep  the  weight  off  once  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gone.  According  to  the  CDC,  older  adults  need  at  least  two  hours  and  30  minutes  of  moderate-­intensity  aerobic  activity,  such  as  brisk  walking,  every  week  and  muscle-­strength-­ ening  activities  on  2  more  days  a  week.  These  muscle-­strengthening  activities  should  work  all  the  major  muscle  groups,  including  the  legs,  hips,  back,  abdomen,  chest,  shoulders,  and  arms.  Muscle-­strengthen-­ ing  activities  include  lift-­ ing  weights,  working  out  with  resistance  bands,  ex-­ ercise  such  as  push-­ups  and  sit-­ups  that  use  body  weight  for  resistance,  and  yoga.  Even  gardening  that  involves  digging  and  shovel-­ ing  can  be  considered  a  muscle-­strengthening  ac-­ tivity.

Weight  gain  is  often  an  expected  side  effect  of  aging.  But  men  and  women  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  to  gain  weight  as  they  get  older.  Some  simple  di-­ etary  changes  and  a  com-­ mitment  to  routine  exer-­ cise  is  all  it  takes  to  shed  weight  after  50  and  keep  that  weight  off  once  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gone.

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abe Union High School Otter Valley Union High School is proud to name Reilly â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rilesâ&#x20AC;? Granger its Student of the Week. Reilly lives in Pittsford with her parents, Brian and Lisa Granger, and her brother, Josh, a sixth-grader at Lothrop Elementary.

Reilly has been on the honor roll or merit list all four years. She took AP chemistry in grade 11 and is currently taking AP literature.

In ninth grade Reilly played softball. Sophomore year she joined the environmental club and helped create a fully functional solar panel. Some of her artwork has been published in Echoes, Otter Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s newspaper of art, poetry, stories and photos. Since 10th grade she has been a participant in Otter Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walking Stick Theatre Program, doing tech, costume crew, and DFWLQJ 6KH KDV JRQH RQ ZLWK :DONLQJ 6WLFN 7KHDWUH WR WKH VWDWH Ă&#x20AC;QDOV WZLFH IRU its competition one-acts, and has directed two one-acts with friends.

This summer Reilly will be on staff at Camp Betsey Cox, a camp she has attended for seven years. Through the campâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s leadership program, Reilly traveled to Turkey in 2010 with 11 other girls with Volunteers for Peace.

Outside of school, Reilly practices karate and enjoys making art. She has been a student at Rising Sun Martial Arts since second grade. She earned her black belt in the summer of 2010 and continues to train. Reilly says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Martial arts is more than a hobby to me, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a lifestyle that continues to grow and Reilly  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rilesâ&#x20AC;?  Granger form in my life. Art has also been a large part of my life. Art for the sake of O.V.U.H.S. art, whether it be music, on a canvas, or spoken in words, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a very important form of expression. These two passions take up most of my time outside of school and will probably continue to do so the rest of my life.â&#x20AC;?

Reillyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice to other students: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Never give up and always be yourself. The people you see sitting next to you, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll most likely never see again once you graduate. Why mold yourself into something that everyone else likes? â&#x20AC;Ś Never be afraid to be the person who walks in with a pirate costume or MC hammer pants (me!) just because youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re afraid people are going to judge you. â&#x20AC;Ś Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to be the person you want to be; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just high school and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just the beginning.â&#x20AC;? $IWHU KLJK VFKRRO 5HLOO\ SODQV WR JR WR *UHHQ 0RXQWDLQ &ROOHJH DQG JHW D PDVWHU¡V LQ WKH HQYLURQPHQWDO Ă&#x20AC;HOG ZLWKLQ VHYHQ \HDUV LQFOXGLQJ WDNLQJ D \HDU WR WUDYHO WKH ZRUOG :LWKLQ HLJKW \HDUV VKH ZRXOG OLNH WR KDYH D VWHDG\ Ă&#x20AC;HOG UHVHDUFKLQJ MRE %XW VKH VD\V ´3ODQV FDQ FKDQJH Âľ Lawrence Marzec-Gerrior, Science Department chair, says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Reilly has shown great tenacity to overcome any challenges that obstruct her academic success.â&#x20AC;?

Mount Abraham Union High School is proud to announce its Student of the Week: Cassie Fancher. Cassie lives in New Haven with her parents, Janet Fancher and Randy Flint, and her cat, Delia. Her older sister, Tessa, is a graduate of UVM. Cassie has been on high or highest honors throughout her high school career. She is a member of the National Honor Society, and has taken four AP classes, as well as an art history course at Middlebury College. In her junior year, she participated in the fall musical and was a part of the group Girls Learn International, promoting universal girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; education. Last summer, she attended the Pratt Institute Pre-College program for drawing and painting, and in the fall she hung an art show at Mirabelleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Cafe in Burlington. As a sophomore, Cassie attended the New England Young Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Conference, and in her junior year she became a host student. She has also attended the Champlain College Young Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Conference for the past two years, and will return in the spring.

Last summer, Cassie had a job teaching earth art through the Bristol Rec Department. She also volunteers through the National Honor Society. This semester she is in Personalized Learning, and she just returned from a six-week Cassie  Fancher trip to Sri Lanka where she was working at Millennium Elephant Foundation, teaching English and working with elephants. Outside â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and inside â&#x20AC;&#x201D; of M.A.U.H.S. school, Cassie enjoys traveling, reading, writing, painting and yoga. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In high school,â&#x20AC;? Cassie says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned the value of challenging myself, but I have also learned that education is a means to happiness, and should be adjusted accordingly. The best learning is done voluntarily. There are always opportunities available to learn about something â&#x20AC;&#x201D; anything â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that inspires true passion.â&#x20AC;?

Next year Cassie plans to study creative writing at either Hampshire College or Pratt Institute.

According to one of her teachers, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cassie has very clear ideas on what, and how, she likes to learn. She has the ability to take an idea and craft an individual learning plan that allows her to reach her goals. â&#x20AC;Ś Cassie has never been afraid to take risks in search of greater knowledge. â&#x20AC;Ś She works incredibly hard in all areas, but cares more for meeting the vision she has for her learning, than in the grade she earns in the end.â&#x20AC;?

Josie Jordan says â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cassie is an astute, intelligent woman; sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s quite remarkable. Her good humor bubbles over, she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t balk from a challenge or adventure, and she keeps a calm awareness of self and others as she nimbly seeks to maximize what life has to offer.â&#x20AC;?

All at Mt. Abraham wish Cassie the best in college and beyond.

Well Done, Students!

MIDDLEBURY  ROTARIAN  JASON  Schnoor  is  greeted  by  children  during  a  recent  trip  to  Ghana.  Rotary  International  is  helping  to  provide  clean  water  to  communities  in  the  African  nation.

MISSION  TO  AFRICA This  was  the  second  Rotary  trip  for  Schnoor,  who  this  time  helped  further  Rotaryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  mission  to  promote  clean  wa-­ ter  efforts  in  the  West  African  nation  of  Ghana.

He  explained  the  clean  water  sourc-­ es  have  been  so  scarce  in  Ghana  that  people  sometimes  have  to  walk  miles  to  get  to  the  nearest  well.  Rotary  In-­ ternational  has  been  helping  dig  new  shallow  wells,  while  contracting  with  companies  to  drill  deeper  wells  equipped  with  hand  pumps  to  provide  potable  water  for  an  entire  community.

Schnoor  returned  on  Feb.  13  from  a  two-­week  trip  during  which  he  and  other  Rotarians  toured  extensively  throughout  Ghana,  surveying  the  vari-­ ous  water  projects  and  how  they  were  EHQHÂżWWLQJ WKH ORFDO SRSXODFH 7KH\ ÂżUVW ODQGHG LQ WKH FDSLWDO FLW\ RI $F-­ cra  and  eventually  made  their  way  to  the  northern  part  of  the  nation.  There,  they  connected  with  the  Rotary  Club  of  Bolgatanga  to  see  the  variety  of  wells  that  had  recently  been  excavated  in  the  area  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  many  of  them  by  hand.  Schnoor  marveled  at  the  lengths  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  or  perhaps  more  appropriately  depths  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  to  which  workers  would  go  in  dig-­ ging  the  wells.  Some  extended  as  deep  as  60  meters,  requiring  a  rotation  of  workers  due  to  the  lack  of  oxygen  at  the  base  of  the  hole.

Schnoor  recalled  seeing  one  worker  shimmying  up  the  length  of  the  well,  in  bare  feet,  with  a  hard-­hat  as  his  only  safety  gear.  The  workers  gradually  built  up  the  cement  foundation  as  they  climbed  higher.

The  Bolgatanga  Rotary  Club  had  been  asked  if  it  could  provide  a  half-­ dozen  wells.  By  the  time  Schnoor  and  his  crew  arrived,  that  number  had  climbed  to  13. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  an  amazing  experience  for  JUDY  BROWN  AND  Jason  Schnoor,  Middlebury  Rotarians,  recently  returned  from  separate  humanitarian  trips  to  India  and  Africa,  respec-­ me,â&#x20AC;?  Schnoor  said. tively.

insisted  on  giving  thanks  to  the  Rotar-­ ians,  sharing  their  limited  food  in  cel-­ ebrations  that  united  people  of  all  ages  and  religious  beliefs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There  were  Christians  and  Mus-­ lims  together,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Usually,  there  LV D ORW RI FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW EXW ZKHQ \RX EULQJ water  into  the  community,  it  brought  them  together  and  people  were  willing  to  work  together  for  the  cause  of  water.  That  was  a  humbling  experience.â&#x20AC;?

Schnoor  and  his  visiting  group  also  took  inventory  of  repairs  needed  to  ex-­ isting  wells.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hand  pumps  wear  out  and  need  maintenance,â&#x20AC;?  he  noted.

Many  of  the  communities  have  set  up  water  sanitation  committees  that  offer  guidance  on  how  to  repair  water  systems  when  some  troubleshooting  is  needed.

Rotary  has  also  sponsored  water  projects  for  village  schools.  Schnoor  and  his  colleagues  stopped  at  some  of  those  schools  and  got  hearty  thank-­ yous. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  into  these  schools  that  have  never  had  water,  who  had  their  kids  travel  these  distances  just Â

to  bring  back  water,â&#x20AC;?  Schnoor  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now  they  have  mechanized  wells  pumping  water  into  the  schools.  It  was  pretty  gratifying.  The  kids  and  principals  would  come  out  and  thank  you;Íž  everybody  wanting  a  picture  with  you.â&#x20AC;?

In  one  village,  Schnoor  was  given  an  almost  unprecedented  honor  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  seat  in  the  chiefâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  chair.

Clean  water  has  helped  eradicate  some  nasty  parasites  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  such  as  the  Guinea  worm  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  related  diseases  that  used  to  be  common  among  resi-­ dents  of  Ghana,  Schnoor  noted.

Like  Brown,  Schnoor  returned  to  9HUPRQW LQVSLUHG DQG PRUH WKDQ ZLOO-­ ing  to  embark  on  yet  another  Rotary  trip. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  extremely  rewarding,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  live  in  your  own  little  bubble  KHUH LQ 9HUPRQW DQG VRPHWLPHV \RX donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  realize  there  are  all  these  Third  World  countries  that  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  a  lot  of  the  things  we  have,  like  going  to  the  kitchen  sink  and  turning  on  the  water.  They  have  to  fetch  their  water  or  pump  it  out  of  a  bore  hole.  It  was  a  humbling  experience  to  be  a  part  of  this.â&#x20AC;?
