Riverfront wall memorializes celebrated journalist Family, friends pay tribute to Matt Power By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Tucked  away  at  the  base  of  a  terraced  slope  over-­ looking  the  Otter  Creek  Falls  on  the  Marble  Works  property  in  down-­ town  Middlebury  stands  a  shiny  SODTXH Ă&#x20AC;DQNHG RQ HDFK VLGH E\ VHY-­ eral  large,  granite  stones.

The  plaque  reads,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Stay  as  long  as  you  can,  when  you  must  go,  take  it  all  with  you  all  of  your  days.â&#x20AC;?

These  are  the  words  of  the  late  Matthew  Power  that  are  now  etched  forever  at  a  newly  completed  wall  built  in  his  honor  thanks  to  his  mom  and  many  friends.  Power  is  the  for-­ mer  Cornwall  resident,  Middlebury  College  graduate  and  celebrated  in-­ ternational  journalist  who  died  this  past  March  10  while  on  assignment  for  Menâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Journal  covering  a  story  along  the  banks  of  the  Nile  River  in  Uganda.  He  was  39. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  gorgeous;Íž  it  turned  out  better  than  I  anticipated,â&#x20AC;?  Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  mom,  Jane  Steele,  said  of  the  wall,  completed  last  week  to  coincide  with  Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  birthday.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  really  serene.â&#x20AC;?

It  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  until  after  Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  passing  last  spring  that  Jane  Steele  got  a  true  sense  of  the  affection  her  son  held  for  the  Otter  Creek  Falls.  The  site  was  a  big  part  of  Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  senior  thesis,  in  which  he  referred  to  the  sounds  of  the  falls  as  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  whispers  of  the  town.â&#x20AC;?  She  found  out  that  Matt  had  spent  many  hours  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  particularly  at  night  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  surveying  the  falls  in  silent  contemplation. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  falls  had  a  real  meaning  for  Matthew,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.

So  when  it  came  time  for  plan-­ ning  a  tribute  to  her  son,  it  seemed  only  natural  to  have  it  located  near  his  favorite  Middlebury  site.  Steeleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  vision  and  timing  for  the  wall  project  coincided  nicely  with  a  municipal  effort  to  improve  the  overall  Marble  Works  waterfront  area.

She  contacted  Middlebury  Plan-­ ning  Commission  Chairwoman  Nancy  Malcolm,  among  other  town  RI¿FLDOV ZKR DJUHHG WR KDYH 0DWWœV wall  become  part  of  the  riverfront  landscape.  the  Middlebury  land-­ VFDSH DUFKLWHFWXUH DQG GHVLJQ ¿UP LandWorks  designed  it,  and  Matt  DeBisschop  installed  the  10  large  granite  stones  that  make  up  the  wall.  Poultney  artist  Kerry  Furlani  created  the  plaque,  which  has  been  placed  in  one  of  the  stones.  Flowers  and  shrubs  will  be  planted  into  the  bank  above  the  wall.

MIDDLEBURY  RESIDENT  JANE  Steele  sits  on  one  of  the  granite  stones  that  forms  a  memorial  wall  that  was  recently  installed  near  the  Otter  Creek  Falls  in  Middlebury  in  memory  of  her  son,  Matthew  Power,  a  Middlebury  College  graduate  and  international  journalist  who  died  in  March  while  covering  a  story  in  Africa.

And  Mattâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  wall  provides  some  added  closure  for  Jane  Steele.  Her  son  lost  his  life  thousands  of  miles  from  home.  His  ashes  were  spread  over  Brooklyn,  N.Y.,  and  at  the  col-­ legeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Bread  Loaf  campus  in  Ripton.  The  wall,  just  a  short  walk  across  the  footbridge  from  Steeleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Frog  Hol-­ low  home,  gives  her  a  tangible  and  spiritual  link  to  her  son.  The  sounds  of  the  falls  beckon  her,  as  they  did  her  son. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  is  it,â&#x20AC;?  she  said  of  the  wall.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  is  really  his  gravestone,  for  me.â&#x20AC;?

Editorial

The  hope  vs.  the  travesty As  the  birthplace  of  modern  democracy,  Americans  of  all  political  stripes  might  be  concerned  that  the  national  turn-­out  in  this  past  Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  mid-­term  election  was  just  36.6  percent.  It  was  one  of  the  lowest  turnouts  in  recent  times,  and  it  is  likely  that  the  national  will  might  not  be  accurately  represented  by  the  results.  That  is  par-­ ticularly  true  when  the  effect  of  big  money  in  the  campaigns  is  considered,  when  we  assess  the  impact  of  state  laws  that  reduce  voter  turnout,  and  when  you  break  down  voter  demographics.  Two  years  ago,  President  Obama  was  swept  into  the  second  term  of  his  presidency  with  a  mandate  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  among  other  things  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  to  proceed  with  health  care  reform,  to  overhaul  our  immigration  laws,  to  focus  on  education  and  improve  student  outcomes,  and  to  get  out  of  the  wars  started  by  the  previ-­ ous  administration  in  Iraq  and  Afghanistan.  Voter  turnout  across  the  nation  in  2012  was  pegged  at  57.5  percent,  while  voter  turnout  in  2008  when  President  2EDPD ZDV ÂżUVW HOHFWHG ZDV SHUFHQW That  the  turnout  in  2014  was  20  percent  less  (lower  than  most  mid-­term  elections)  should  send  a  signal  to  Americans  that  our  democracy  is  faltering,  and  that  corrective  action  is  needed.  Sen.  Bernie  Sanders,  I-­Vt.,  has  a  partial  solution  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  pass  a  national  Election  Day  holiday.  Last  Friday  he  said  he  would  introduce  legislation  to  that  effect. â&#x20AC;&#x153;In  America,  we  should  be  celebrating  our  democracy  and  doing  everything  possible  to  make  it  easier  for  people  to  participate  in  the  political  process,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Election  Day  should  be  a  national  holiday  so  that  everyone  has  the  time  and  opportunity  to  vote.  While  this  would  not  be  a  cure-­all,  it  would  indicate  a  national  commitment  to  create  a  more  vibrant  democracy.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  common-­sense  proposal  that  correctly  puts  the  national  focus  on  the  importance  of  voting.  What  American  could  be  opposed  to  that?

Sadly,  the  answer  is  likely  to  be:  most  Republicans  in  Congress.

5HSXEOLFDQV DV WKDW SDUW\ NQRZV EHQHÂżW IURP ORZ YRWHU WXUQRXW KHQFH the  partyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  push  in  state  legislatures  to  pass  measures  that  suppress  turnout,  including  reducing  opportunities  for  early  voting,  making  it  harder  to  register  to  vote  and  requiring  a  current  photo  ID  when  voting.

But  Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  point  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  denied  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  we  should  do  better  and  we  can.  In  Denmark,  80  percent  turnout  is  normal.  Shockingly,  the  International  Institute  for  Democracy  and  Electoral  Assistance  ranks  the  United  States  120th  in  the  world  for  average  voter  turnout.  That,  says  Sanders,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;is  an  international  embarrassment.â&#x20AC;?  Moreover,  in  the  eyes  of  the  world  this  electionâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  36  percent  turnout  under-­ mines  the  very  idea  that  America  is  governed  by  the  majority,  not  corrupted  E\ SROLWLFDO SDUWLHV RU VXEMHFWHG WR XQGXH LQĂ&#x20AC;XHQFHV RI ELJ PRQH\ 7KDW LGHD which  is  part  of  our  national  brand,  has  worked  well  to  bring  the  best  and  brightest  minds  and  entrepreneurs  from  throughout  the  world  to  our  shores,  where  new  ideas  then  hatch  and  help  spark  our  industrial  and  commercial  leadership.  Losing  that  appeal  is  no  trivial  matter. ************ The  stumbling  block  to  Sandersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  legislation  lies,  nonetheless,  in  voter  demo-­ graphics  and  the  edge  a  higher  turnout  gives  to  Democrats.  In  last  Tuesdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  election,  the  biggest  drop-­off  in  voter  turnout  compared  to  2012  was  among  young  people  and  Hispanics.  Voters  between  the  ages  of  18-­29  made  up  only  13  percent  of  the  2014  turnout  (compared  to  19  percent  in  2012),  while  His-­ panic  voters  made  up  only  8  percent  (compared  to  10  percent  in  2012).  In  both  instances  that  is  far  less  than  their  respective  share  of  the  population  as  a  whole,  which  is  roughly  17  percent  per  each  group.  The  same  was  true  for  voters  between  the  ages  30-­44,  which  represented  27  percent  of  the  turnout  in  2012  and  just  22  percent  in  2014.  Older  people  represented  a  larger  percentage  of  the  vote  in  2014.  In  2012,  those  between  45-­64  represented  38  percent  of  the  turnout,  compared  to  43  percent  in  2014;Íž  and  voters  65  and  over  represented  just  16  percent  of  the  vote  LQ ZKLFK UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWV WKHLU VKDUH RI WKH SRSXODWLRQ FRPSDUHG WR SHUFHQW in  2014.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  swing  of  about  12-­14  percent  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  6-­7  percent  down  among  younger  voters  and  6-­7  percent  up  among  older  voters.  White  voters  also  made  up  a  greater  percentage  of  the  turnout  in  2014,  at  75  percent,  compared  to  72  percent  in  2012,  while  there  were  2  percent  fewer  Hispanics  (8  percent  in  2014  compared  to  10  percent  in  2012),  and  1  percent  fewer  black  voters  (13  percent  in  2012  compared  to  12  percent  in  2014.)  The  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Republican  wave,â&#x20AC;?  as  some  have  called  this  election,  was  built  largely  on  poor  turnout  and  a  whiter,  older  and  male  demographic  that  leans  more  conservative  than  the  nation  as  a  whole.  Considering  how  many  Senate  races  came  down  to  the  wire,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  safe  to  say  a  higher  turnout  would  have  produced  VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ GLIIHUHQW UHVXOWV ² FHUWDLQO\ LQ &RORUDGR /RXLVLDQD DQG 1RUWK Carolina.

Creating  legislation  that  expands  voter  turnout  would  champion  the  very  principles  on  which  this  nation  was  founded,  re-­instill  hope  to  millions  of  Americans  and  serve  the  nation  well  in  the  eyes  of  the  world.  Unfortunately,  it  works  against  the  party  that  for  the  past  decade  has  been  intent  on  using  big  money  and  harsh  regulations  to  do  just  the  opposite.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  the  travesty  of  these  times.

Robinson  School   matches  students  with  local  experts STARKSBORO  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  This  summer,  Stephen  Ahern  taught  Isaiah  Szczecienski  how  to  build  a  skin  boat.  The  two  worked  all  summer  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  using  nearly  all  donated  materials  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  making  plans,  bending  wood  and  tying  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;skinâ&#x20AC;?  to  the  frame  to  make  D ZDWHUWLJKW FDQRH Âż W IRU LWV PDLGHQ voyage  on  Lake  Iroquois.  The  two  presented  their  completed  project  to  the  students  and  staff  of  Robinson  Elementary  School  at  a  weekly  MARS  (Meeting  At  Robinson  School)  gathering.

Ahern  is  Isaiahâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  mentor  through  Robinson  Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  very  successful  Starksboro  Mentoring  Program.  The  two  are  a  perfect  example  of  a  well-­ matched  mentor-­mentee   pair.  They  discovered  a  common  interest  in  build-­ ing  and  last  year  they  built  a  number  of  models  together,  and  then  this  summer,  they  upped  their  game  and  took  on  a  full-­scale  canoe.  At  the  MARS  meet-­ ing  the  two  were  asked  what  important  lessons  they  learned.  Ahern  said  he  learned  that  Isaiah  is  a  fast  study,  and  Isaiah  commented  that  it  took  a  lot  of  time  and  effort  to  build  the  canoe.

The  mentoring  program  is  run  by  Coordinator  Amy  Johnston,  Robinson  Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  guidance  coun-­ selor,  and  by  Assistant  Coordinator  Peg  Pifer.  The  program  began  in  2006  and  not  only  is  a  success  but  has  served  as  an  example  for  others  to  follow.  Currently  there  are  28  mentor  matches  at  Robinson  School.  Mount  Abraham  Union  High  School,  Lincoln  Community  School  and  Monkton  Elementary  School  are  all  in  the  second  year  of  their  own  mentoring  programs,  which  are  based  on  the  Starksboro  model.   Johnston  said  that  the  Mt.  Abe  Mentoring  Program  is  set  up  so  that  mentor  matches  from  any  of  the  elementary  schools  can  continue  on  beyond  sixth  grade.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Because  the  HIÂż FDF\ RI PHQWRU PDWFKHV LV EDVHG on  the  strength  and  the  length  of  the  match,  we  are  thrilled  that  Mount Â

Beat MENTOR  STEPHEN  AHERN  and  mentee  Isaiah  Szczecinski  stand  with  the  canoe  they  built  this  past  summer.  The  two  were  matched  through  the  Robinsonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Schoolâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Starksboro  Mentoring  Program,  which  has  be-­ come  a  model  for  similar  programs  in  other  area  schools.

Abraham  Mentoring  Program  is  now  able  to  pick  up  our  matches  as  they  graduate  from  Robinson  School.â&#x20AC;?

Mentoring  has  been  lauded  by  childhood  experts,  who  see  it  as  a  way  to  bring  stability  to  the  lives  of  children  who  are  â&#x20AC;&#x153;at  risk.â&#x20AC;?  A  caring  adult  willing  to  take  just  an  hour  a  week  for  a  one-­on-­one  relationship  with  a  child  or  young  adult  can  have  an  enormous  impact  on  that  childâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  life  and  future  success.  Children  who  have  been  asked  how  they  overcame  childhood  challenges  overwhelm-­ ingly  respond,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  had  someone  who  believed  in  and  cared  about  me.â&#x20AC;?

One  of  the  features  that  makes  Starksboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  program  successful  and  unique  is  that  it  allows  for  a  broad  range  of  activities,  one-­on-­one.  While  mentoring  programs  in  larger  communities  generally  require  activ-­ ities  to  take  place  at  a  designated  ORFDWLRQ DQG IRU D VSHFLÂż F WLPH the  Starksboro  program  has  taken  a  different  path,  allowing  the  mentors  and  mentees  to  meet  either  on  or  off  school  grounds,  with  a  broad  and  rich  range  of  program  supported  activi-­ ties.  They  might  go  for  a  hike,  or  out  for  pizza,  or  to  the  mentorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  home  to  bake  cookies,  tend  gardens,  care  for  animals  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  whatever  the  two  are  comfortable  doing  together.  In  the  case  of  Isaiah  and  Stephen,  it  allowed  WKHP WKH WLPH DQG WKH Ă&#x20AC; H[LELOLW\ WR accomplish  a  pretty  impressive  goal Â

together,  to  complete  their  project  on  their  own  time  and  proudly  share  it  with  the  Robinson  community.

Another  unique  feature  of  Starksboroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  program  is  the  level  of  support  for  mentors.  Once  a  mentor  has  agreed  to  join  the  program,  and  has  passed  an  extensive  background  check,  they  are  invited  to  meet  regu-­ larly  in  a  group  with  Johnston  and  Pifer  and  members  of  the  seven-­ member  advisory  board.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  philosophy  is  that  mentors  fall  in  love  with  the  program,  then  they  fall  in  love  with  the  mentee,â&#x20AC;?  says  Johnston.  It  has  helped  to  foster  a  sense  of  camaraderie  among  mentors  and  advisers  and  they  become  part  of  their  own  social  network,  sharing  ideas,  stories  and  concerns  at  adult-­ only  pot-­luck  gatherings.  Just  as  importantly  there  are  group  activities  with  mentors  and  mentees,  which  may  include  a  swim  day  at  Mt.  Abe,  a  sledding  party,  bowling  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  any  activity  that  can  be  fun  for  a  group  of  adults  and  children.

The  program  is  funded  with  support  from  Robinson  School  and  grants  from  charitable  foundations,  (See  Mentors,  Page  16)

Vytas says he has learned that high school is a time to have fun as well as to â&#x20AC;&#x153;learn from all of our mistakes, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve made quite a few of those as all high schoolers have in their lifetimes.â&#x20AC;? He says his philosophy â&#x20AC;&#x153;is to just not stress.â&#x20AC;?

After high school, Vytas plans to obtain his bachelorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s in nursing and then moving on to get his masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s as a nurse practitioner According to Mr.Havens, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vytas always greets you with a smile. His academics are top notch, and his kindness knows no bounds.â&#x20AC;?

And Mr. Dwyer says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Perceptive, zany and insightful are among the word words that come to mind in describing Vytas Nielsen â&#x20AC;Ś Vytas is an honest and caring person who demonstrates great school spirit.â&#x20AC;?

Vytas has been a wonderful part of the Otter Valley community, and everyone there wishes him the best in his future.

EastViewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new director hopes to build on success The  board  of  directors  for  the  Middlebury  retirement  community  EastView  hired  a  new  executive  director  in  June.  Brenda  Schill  is  a  high-­energy,  positive  woman  with  a  passionate  drive  to  enhance  EastViewâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  already  successful  model.  Schill  holds  both  a  nursing  degree  from  the  University  of  Vermont  and  a  business  man-­ agement  degree  from  Trinity  College,  which  she  says  gives  her  the  right  skills  to  be  suc-­ cessful  as  executive  director.  Prior  to  coming  to  EastView,  Schill  was  the  executive  director  at  another  retirement  com-­ munity,  the  Lodge  at  Shelburne  Bay.  She  has  also  worked  as  the  vice  president  at  Hickok  &  Boardman  Insurance,  director  at  the  Vermont  Student  Assis-­ tance  Corporation  (VSAC),  director  of  the  Guaranteed  Student  Loan  and  Default  Collections,  and  as  executive  director  at  Converse  Retire-­ ment  Home. â&#x20AC;&#x153;However,  the  key  to  success  is  the  team  you  work  with  and  in  the  case  of  EastView  the  entire  team  works  extremely  well  together  and  it  includes  not  only  the  staff  but  the  residents  and  the  board  of  directors,â&#x20AC;?  Schill  says.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  is  a  slice  of  heaven  located  right  in  Middle-­ bury.â&#x20AC;?  Schill  spoke  with  the  Independent  about  her  background  and  what  motivates  her  in  her  work  with  seniors

Grandchildren help seniors stay young and engaged Grandparents have a lot to offer the next generation (MS)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  What  used  to  be  the  â&#x20AC;&#x153;golden  yearsâ&#x20AC;?  of  life  for  seniors  is  now  turning  into  any  opportunity  to  spend  even  more  time  with  their  youngest  family  members.  Nowadays,  a  growing  number  of  grandparents  are  called  on  to  provide  childcare  for  their  grandkids,  many  of  whom  are  growing  up  in  two-­ income  households.  Others  are  helping  to  raise  JUDQGNLGV ZKLOH SURYLGLQJ ÂżQDQFLDO DVVLVWDQFH for  adult  children  who  may  not  be  able  to  live  on  their  own.

This  trend  has  been  corroborated  in  a  few  recent  studies.  Information  from  the  Pew  Research  Center  showed  7.7  million  children  in  the  United  States  were  living  in  the  same  household  as  one  of  their  grandparents  in  2011.  A  University  of  Chicago  analysis  of  a  decade  of  data  based  on  interviews  with  13,614  grandparents,  ages  50  and  older,  found  that  61  percent  of  grandparents  provided  at  least  50  hours  of  care  for  their  grandchildren  during  any  given  year  between  1998  and  2008. Â

And  an  April  2012  study  for  the  MetLife  Mature  0DUNHW ,QVWLWXWH DQG WKH QRQSUR¿W *HQHUDWLRQV United,  an  intergenerational  policy  group,  found  that  74  percent  of  respondents  provided  weekly  childcare  or  babysitting  service  for  grandkids.

Grandparents  often  cite  helping  their  own  FKLOGUHQ ¿QDQFLDOO\ DV ZHOO DV VWD\LQJ LQ WRXFK with  grandchildren  as  motivating  factors  behind  providing  care.  According  to  Generations  United,  staying  in  touch  with  grandkids  can  give  seniors  a  feeling  of  self-­worth  and  improve  their  overall  health.

When  spending  so  much  time  together,  grandparents  may  develop  special  relationships  ZLWK WKHLU JUDQGFKLOGUHQ ZKR PD\ EHQH¿W from  the  knowledge  and  wisdom  offered  by  their  elders.  The  following  are  some  lessons  grandparents  can  share  with  youngsters.

Senior-to-Senior Program is a win-win MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  November  is  Adopt  a  Senior  Pet  Month  and  the  Addison  County  Humane  Society  is  using  this  opportunity  to  promote  its  Senior-­to-­Senior  program  with  the  goal  of  placing  senior  pets  with  senior  citizens  at  no  charge  to  the  adopter.  A  â&#x20AC;&#x153;seniorâ&#x20AC;?  pet  is  considered  over  the  age  of  eight  and  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;seniorâ&#x20AC;?  DGXOW LV GHÂżQHG DV RYHU DJH IRU WKH SXUSRVHV of  this  program.  So  far  this  year,  Homeward  Bound  has  taken  LQ VHQLRU DQLPDOV ² ÂżYH GRJV VXUUHQGHUHG by  their  owners,  four  stray  dogs,  18  cats  sur-­ rendered  by  their  owners,  and  eight  stray  cats.

Have  a  plan Many  people  simply  fail  to  plan  for  retirement.  Even  men  and  women  who  invest  in  an  employer-­sponsored  retirement  program,  such  as  a  401(k),  should  not  make  that  the  only  retirement  planning  they  do.  6SHDN ZLWK D ÂżQDQFLDO DGYLVRU ZKR FDQ KHOS you  develop  a  plan  that  ensures  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  outlive  your  assets.

Set  reasonable  goals Retirement  nest  eggs  do  not  need  to  be  enormous.  Many  retirees  have  a  net  worth  of  less  than  $1  million,  and  many  people  live  comfortably  on  less  than  $100,000  annually.  When  planning  for  retirement,  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  dissuaded  because  you  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  buying  a  vineyard  or  villa  in  Europe.  Set  reasonable  goals  for  your  retirement  and  make  sure  you  meet  those  goals.

Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  underestimate  spending You  will  need  money  in  retirement,  and  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  best  that  you  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  underestimate  just  how  much  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  going  to  need.  No  one  wants  to  be  stuck  at  home  during  retirement,  when  people  typically  want  to  enjoy  themselves  and  the  freedom  WKDW FRPHV ZLWK UHWLUHPHQW 6SHDN WR D ÂżQDQFLDO SODQQHU WR develop  a  reasonable  estimate  of  your  living  expenses  when  you  plan  to  retire.

Pay  down  or  avoid  debt  while  you  can Retiring  with  debt  is  a  big  risk.  Try  to  eliminate  all  of Â

your  debts  before  you  retire  and,  once  you  have,  focus  your  energy  on  growing  your  investments  and/or  saving  money  for  retirement.

Start  early  on  retirement  saving Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  never  too  early  to  begin  saving  for  retirement.  Although  few  twenty-­somethings  are  thinking  about  retirement,  the  earlier  you  begin  to  invest  the  more  time  you  have  to  grow  your  money.  Enroll  in  a  retirement  plan  now  so  you  have  a  larger  nest  egg  when  you  reach  retirement  age.

Schill (Continued  from  Page  20) Q:  Why  work  with  seniors?  A:  Seniors  deserve  to  live  the  remainder  of  their  lives  in  the  best  possible  way.  Maintain-­ ing  dignity  and  enhancing  their  lives  through  activities  and  events  that  stimulate  and  moti-­ vate  is  rewarding.  As  I  write  this,  one  of  our  residents  is  speaking  to  a  group  of  30  residents  on  foreign  policy.  Already  today  we  have  had  Bone  Builders,  meditation,  needle  arts,  chess  and  a  trip  to  the  grocery  store.  I  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  imagine  a  better  group  of  individuals  to  spend  my  days  with.  I  learn  something  new  every  single  day.

My father died 3 years ago. My 83 year old mother spends her days alone watching TV. I worry about her being lonely.

You are right to be concerned. Sitting alone watching TV day after day is probably not good for your motherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s body or mind. Lack of social stimulation and interesting experiences can dull the mind and contribute to memory decline. Sitting for long periods weakens the muscles.

Balance and mobility can worsen.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more, your mother needs fun and pleasant experiences to avoid depression and loneliness. With your fatherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s recent death, her life changed in a big way. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s never too late to restructure life, and Elderly Services can help.

Our social workers can help your mother and you explore her feelings and interests. We can help her find the motivation to try something new.

Repeat!  Tigers  beat  Hilltoppers  to  claim  title By  ANDY  KIRKALDY RUTLAND  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  In  the  end,  after  two  10-­0  teams  FODVKHG LQ 6DWXUGD\ÂśV 'LYLVLRQ , IRRWEDOO ÂżQDO DW Rutland  High  School,  there  was  no  doubt  which  was  better.

No.  1  Middlebury  Union  High  School  shut  down  No.  St.  Johnsburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  high-­powered  attack,  rolled  up  322  yards  of  offense  to  190  yards  for  the  Hilltoppers,  claimed  its  22nd  straight  victory,  and,  most  importantly,  earned  its  second  consec-­ utive  title  by  outscoring  St.  J,  28-­7.  In  what  was  a  highly  anticipated  showdown  between  the  two  programs  that  had  easily  han-­ dled  all  comers,  the  Tigers  had  erased  all  doubt.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  great  way  to  end  the  year,  with  a  statement  that  we  really  are  the  best,â&#x20AC;?  said  senior  safety  and  tri-­captain  Connor  Quinn.

All  fall,  the  Tigers  have  had  their  second  straight  11-­0  season  as  a  goal,  but  have  never  talked  about  it,  instead  following  the  football  mantra:  One  Game  At  A  Time.

Now,  said,  senior  tri-­captain  and  quarterback  Austin  Robinson,  the  Tigers  can  enjoy  the  re-­

ward  of  that  focus.  ³:H ÂżQDOO\ JRW LW GRQH DQG FDQ ORRN EDFN RQ LW DQG ZH FDQ ÂżQDOO\ VD\ ZH KDG D JUHDW VHDVRQ ´ said  Robinson,  who  ran  for  two  scores  and  threw  for  a  third.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;22-­0.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  special.  We  knew  it  was  special  the  whole  time.â&#x20AC;?

Afterward,  Coach  Dennis  Smith,  the  leader  of  the  game-­by-­game  approach,  gave  the  Tigers  the  JUHHQ OLJKW WR ÂżQDOO\ ORRN DW WKH ELJ SLFWXUH â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  always  been  in  the  back  of  my  mind,  but  we  never  talk  about  it,â&#x20AC;?  Smith  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  talk  about  it  now.â&#x20AC;? %XW ÂżUVW FDPH WKH +LOOWRSSHUV ZKR UDFNHG XS SRLQWV YV +DUWIRUG LQ WKH TXDUWHUÂżQDOV DQG WKHQ VFRUHG IRXU WRXFKGRZQV LQ WKHLU ÂżUVW ÂżYH possessions  in  a  26-­6  win  vs.  Essex  in  a  semi-­ ÂżQDO ,Q ERWK JDPHV 6W - TXDUWHUEDFN &ROWRQ Hudson  threw  early  and  often  and  ran  effec-­ tively.  Not  on  Saturday,  although  he  did  run  for  41  \DUGV RQ VHYHQ FDUULHV LQ WKH ÂżUVW KDOI ² EHIRUH WKH 7LJHUV KHOG KLP WR \DUG RQ ÂżYH DWWHPSWV LQ the  second  half.  Hudson  completed  just  eight  for Â

20  passes  for  105  yards  for  one  score  and  two  interceptions.

Quinn  said  the  coaches  told  the  Tiger  defen-­ sive  backs  they  could  cover  the  St.  J  receivers  man-­to-­man,  and  prepared  them  well.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  just  had  the  athletes  in  the  secondary.  We  knew  we  were  capable  of  doing  it,â&#x20AC;?  Quinn  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  just  focused  on  the  fundamentals  all  week.  If  you  take  care  of  the  mental  side  of  the  game,  the  physical  becomes  a  lot  easier.â&#x20AC;?

Robinson  added  another  factor.  The  Tiger  de-­ fensive  linemen,  particularly  ends  Sam  Holmes  and  Justin  Stone,  used  their  quickness  against  the  bigger  Hilltoppers  to  make  Hudson  uncom-­ fortable  in  the  pocket. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  got  a  good  pass  rush  going,â&#x20AC;?  Robinson  said.

And  the  Hilltoppers  rushed  for  just  85  yards  on  25  carries,  as  nose  guard  Nick  Beauchamp,  tackle  James  Ploof  and  linebackers  Matt  Dun-­ ton  and  Nathan  Lalonde  were  among  those  who  excelled.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  did  a  really  great  job  up  front,  James  Plo-­

of,  our  defensive  tackles,  they  played  amazing,â&#x20AC;?  Robinson  said.

On  offense,  the  Tigers  did  not  break  many  big  plays,  although  Stone  at  fullback  (16  carries,  111  yards)  had  runs  of  48  and  27  yards  and  Robin-­ son  (23  attempts,  85  yards)  converted  several  NH\ ÂżUVW GRZQV Especially  in  the  second  half,  the  Tigers  moved  steadily,  however. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  have  a  lot  of  athletes.  We  werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  just  going  to  blow  them  away  with  our  speed,â&#x20AC;?  Rob-­ inson  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  eventually  we  started  methodi-­ cally  moving  the  ball  running  our  core  plays.â&#x20AC;?

to  help  set  up  Learyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  5-­yard  TD  at  6:56.  On  a  fake  kick,  Derek  Bassette  tossed  the  conversion  to  Leary  to  make  it  34-­30.

The  Otters  needed  the  ball  back  with  some  time  on  the  clock.  But  the  Bullets  moved  80  yards  in  13  plays,  including  Sweeneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  crucial  fourth-­ down  conversion,  for  the  clinching  score  at  0:28.  ³:H GLGQÂśW JHW WKH VWRSV ZKHQ ZH needed,â&#x20AC;?  Hill  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;That  fourth-­and-­ two  at  the  end  kind  of  summed  up  the  whole  game.â&#x20AC;?  Hill  said.

Regardless,  Hill  called  OV  an  out-­ standing  football  team. â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  loss  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  sum  up  the  great  year  that  we  had,â&#x20AC;?  Hill  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  a  great  season  and  a  lot  to  be  proud  of.â&#x20AC;?

The  second  half  opened  with  the  decisive  drive.  The  Tigers  received,  and  a  good  kickoff  pinned  them  on  their  8.  Twenty  plays  and  7:14  later,  it  was  19-­7.  The  drive  contained  several  key  moments:  Robinson  hit  Ian  Gill  for  14  yards  on  third-­and-­six  from  the  13,  Robinson  ran  for  six  yards  on  third-­ DQG VL[ 6WRQH UDQ IRU ÂżYH RQ WKLUG and-­three,  and  Robinson  ran  for  six  RQ WKLUG DQG ÂżYH A  holding  penalty  hurt,  and  even-­ tually  the  Tigers  faced  fourth  and  21  from  the  Hilltopper  25.  No  matter:  Robinson  found  Cullen  Hathaway  open  down  the  middle  in  the  end  zone  for  a  leaping  grab,  and  then  on  a  fake  kick  hit  Bobby  Ritter  for  the  two  point  conversion.  It  was  21-­7  at  6:16  of  the  third.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  felt  that  was  a  great  statement,â&#x20AC;?  Smith  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Last  weekend  was  the  ¿UVW WLPH ZH ZHQW PRUH WKDQ SOD\V on  a  drive.  It  was  twice  that.  It  was  wonderful.  I  loved  it.â&#x20AC;?

The  Hilltoppers  went  three-­and-­out  twice,  sandwiched  around  an  unpro-­ ductive  Tiger  possession,  and  then  the  Tigers  took  over  on  their  own  41  IRU WKHLU ÂżUVW SRVVHVVLRQ RI WKH IRXUWK quarter.  Six  plays  later  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  three  Rob-­ inson  runs  and  three  Stone  runs,  one Â

Hudson  completed  a  couple  passes,  but  then  Quinn  picked  him  off  mid-­ way  through  the  quarter  to  end  all  Hilltopper  hopes.

Afterward,  the  Tigers  and  their  coach  talked  about  what  had  created  this  spectacular  two-­year  run.  Smith  said,  of  course,  the  team  is  blessed  with  speed  and  athleticism,  DQG WKLV \HDUÂśV WHDP EHQHÂżWWHG IURP many  two-­year  starters  and  new  start-­ ers  who  saw  valuable  time  last  fall.  And  then,  he  said,  there  was  leader-­ ship  and  grit. â&#x20AC;&#x153;You  had  great  leaders  last  year  that  started  getting  the  ball  rolling,  and  these  guys  just  took  that  mold  and  went  to  the  next  level  with  it,â&#x20AC;?  Smith  MIDDLEBURY  UNION  HIGH  School  senior  quarterback  Austin  Rob-­ said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;And  they  are  tough.  They  are  inson,  above,  slips  away  from  St.  Johnsburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Eli  Wendell  Saturday  in  tougher  than  I  would  think  they  are,  Rutland.  Below,  Tiger  senior  captains  Bobby  Ritter,  left,  Robinson  and  you  know?  Because  usually  good  fast  Connor  Quinn  collect  the  Division  I  state  championship  trophy.

Pet Pages Mushrooms  in  the  woods  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  and  other  fall  dangers  for  pets By  M.  KATHLEEN  SHAW,  DVM With  dazzling  colors  on  the  trees  and  harvest  festivals  abound-­ ing,  many  people  love  the  autumn  season.  But  with  the  holidays  and  cooling  temperatures,  the  fall  brings  some  potential  dangers  to  our  animals  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  large  and  small.

As  we  winterize  cars,  houses  and  barns,  remember  that  antifreeze  is  highly  toxic  to  pets.  Just  one  or  two  licks  of  antifreeze  can  cause  kidney  failure  and  death.  Look  for  the  newer,  safer  version  of  anti-­ freeze,  which  does  not  contain  the  sweetener  so  tempting  to  pets.

Another  toxin,  rodenticide  (rat  poison),  is  formulated  to  be  tasty  to  rodents,  but  is  also  appealing  to  dogs,  cats  and  wildlife.  These  poisons  prohibit  blood  clotting,  leading  to  fatal  blood  loss  and  death.  If  you  must  use  these  prod-­ ucts,  put  them  up  high  or  in  a  place  where  dogs  and  cats  and  larger  wildlife  cannot  reach  them.

Every  year  veterinarians  see  cases  where  owners  have  forgot-­ ten  that  they  put  out  the  poison  or  where  they  put  it.  Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  assume  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;out  of  sightâ&#x20AC;?  means  the  dog  RU FDW ZRQÂśW Âż QG LW ² WKH\ KDYH DQ excellent  sense  of  smell  and,  given  the  chance,  will  make  a  beeline  to  it  once  they  detect  it.

Fall  decorations  including  stringy  fake  spider  webs  (cats  like  to  eat  them),  candles  (burns),  and  potpourri  (toxic  to  cats)  can  pres-­ ent  serious  dangers  to  pets.  Most  people  are  aware  that  chocolate  is  toxic  to  cats  and  dogs,  but  many  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  realize  that  xylitol  is  also  WR[LF ;\OLWRO XVHG WR DUWLÂż FLDOO\

sweeten  gums  and  other  candies,  causes  a  potentially  fatal  drop  in  blood  sugar.  The  easiest  way  to  help  prevent  accidental  exposure  to  these  dangers  is  to  keep  all  people  food  out  of  reach  of  pets.  Also,  keep  a  close  eye  on  pets  around  household  decorations  to  minimize  the  temptation  to  chew  or  eat  them.

Mother  Nature  also  produces  health  risks  for  pets:  mushrooms  and  other  fungi.  With  the  cooler,  damper  weather,  mushrooms  sprout,  and  many  can  be  toxic  to  pets,  causing  liver  and  kidney  damage,  and  seizures.  Dogs  seem  irresistibly  drawn  to  the  compost  pile,  where  they  often  gorge  on  decaying  food  of  all  sorts.  Rotting  debris  often  leads  to  vomiting  and  diarrhea,  requiring  a  trip  to Â
