Parents advised to screen children for lead BURLINGTON — One-­year-­old (PPHWW GLG QRW ÀLQFK RU FU\ ZKHQ his nurse pricked a big toe to take a small sample of blood to test for the presence of lead. The Health Depart-­ ment recommends the routine blood lead screening test for all children at age 1 and again at age 2.

“Lead is a leading environmental health threat for children,” said Lori Cragin, the Health Department’s di-­ rector of environmental health and Emmett’s mother. “We’re working with the American Academy of Pe-­ diatrics and the American Academy of Family Physicians to improve blood lead screening rates, and our

Lead testing rates for 1-­year-­old children increased from 80 percent in 2006, to 81 percent in 2012, and from 44 percent to 68 percent for 2-­year-­olds. While the rates have improved, they still fall well short of the goal of 100 percent.

Approximately 300 children in the VWDWH DUH LGHQWL¿HG HDFK \HDU DV KDY-­ ing too-­high levels of lead in their blood. Early detection and interven-­ tion, including preventing further exposure to the source of the poison-­ ing, is vital to preventing children

life-­long health effects, such as low-­ ering a child’s IQ. When a child has a capillary blood level between 5 to 9 micrograms per deciliter, the Health Department sends educational materials, and an offer for a free lead dust wipe kit to test for lead sources in the home.

When the level is 10 micrograms per deciliter and above, a Health De-­ partment case manager will test the home and work with the family to reduce further exposure.

Lead-­based paint and lead con-­ taminated dust are the main sources of poisoning. Vermont has one of the oldest housing stocks in the nation.

All homes built before 1978 are like-­ ly to contain some lead-­based paint.

Children can also be exposed to lead from jewelry, key chains, zippers or other things that they touch or put into their mouths.

There is no safe level of lead in the body. Young children are at highest risk for lead poisoning because their developing bodies absorb lead more easily. Lead is an invisible threat, and it is common for children with unsafe blood-­lead levels to show no obvious symptoms.

State adds $2.1M for LIHEAP MONTPELIER (AP) — Gov. Peter Shumlin and the Vermont Emergency Board recently ap-­ proved an additional $2.1 million in funding to help low-­income residents heat their homes this winter, as the state continued to step in to offset cuts in federal funding.

The 2013 Legislature approved $6 million for this program as part of the annual appropriation bill, with the expectation that ad-­ ditional funds might be necessary.

Real Estate and You

~ HOME DESIGN ~ AS UNIQUE AS YOU ARE! Before you get started on your home’s new design, consider your lifestyle, and decide if there DUH DQ\ QHZ ¿[WXUHV RU DGGLWLRQV you want to incorporate into the rooms, to make the most of your new home’s functionality. If you love to cook, why not add in a kitchen island, or if your VHFRQG KRPH LV \RXU RI¿FH make sure the den has modern wiring and connectivity. If you ORYH QDWXUH DQ LQ¿QLW\ ZLQGRZ is a simple way to bring the beauty of the great outdoors inside! Consider making unique pieces of art or one-­of-­a-­kind furniture the room’s focal point, commanding the attention of the room. Choose rich but neutral colors for your walls, ensuring your design accents don’t clash or compete for attention. For rooms without a focal point, designate one wall to be your “accent wall” in a color just a bit brighter than the rest. Warm, muted browns, rich tans, or shades of ecru, eggshell and taupe are the ideal colors to accentuate unique home design.

Remember that your home’s design is as unique as you are, so take your time, and enjoy the most fun part of life in your new home—it’s design!

James  was  born  in  Harlowton, Â

MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Aurora  Middle  School  students  in  Middlebury  recently  spent  three  weeks  working  with  local  artist  Jean  Cherouny,  learning  about  and  creating  abstract  art.  Cherouny  lives  in  Ripton  and  believes  strongly  in  sharing  her  love  of  art  and  in  giving  students  the  opportunity  to  express  themselves  through  artwork.  This  opportunity  was  made  possible  by  an  Artist  in  Schools  grant  from  the  Vermont  Arts  Council.

Students  started  the  residency  by  working  in  sketchbooks  to  explore  line,  shape,  color  and  other  basic  elements  of  design.  To  help  them  let  go  of  the  idea  that  there  is  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;rightâ&#x20AC;?  way  or  place  for  a  line,  they  decorated  the  cover  of  their  sketchbooks  with  their  eyes  closed.  As  one  student  explained,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  learned  how  there  are  no  wrong  answers  in  art.â&#x20AC;?

Open  discussion  helps  community As  residents  of  Middlebury,  we  were  pleased  to  know  that  the  vote  on  the  proposed  municipal  building  and  recreation  center  will  take  place  in  March.  As  members  of  this  commu-­ nity,  we  hope  that  the  time  between  now  and  then  will  focus  on  extended  and  transparent  conversation.

Why  do  we  create  such  build-­ ings?  Clearly  it  is  to  meet  the  needs  of  the  people  of  the  community.  Construction  is  not  merely  for  today  or  the  immediate  future  but  for  long-­ term  service  for  all  persons  yet  to  come.  Given  the  cost  of  construction,  an  effort  grounded  in  vision  and  a  determination  rooted  in  supporting  well-­being  in  our  common  life  is  needed  by  the  persons  who  are  the  present  members  of  this  community,  as  they  set  about  to  assure  space  for  civic  responsibility,  work,  learning  or  recreation.

We  have  all  shared  in  countless  daily  conversations  that  include  comments  and  stories  of  appreciation Â

for  life  in  our  community.  These  ZRUGV RI DI¿UPDWLRQ DUH WRR QXPHU-­ ous  to  list  but  what  is  more  impor-­ tant  is  that  each  person  considers  what  is  liked  and  valued  about  life  in  this  place.

But  a  sweet  taste  in  community  life  is  not  assured.  The  loss  of  civil-­ ity,  for  example,  becomes  a  taste  gone  sour.  A  way  to  clear  the  throat  is  to  engage  in  open  and  direct  conversation  about  the  questions  and  disagreements  that  present  themselves.  What  makes  this  type  of  talking  possible  is  a  willingness  to  listen.  And  both  speaking  and  listen-­ ing  need  to  be  anchored  in  respect,  whether  we  agree  or  disagree  with  what  is  being  proposed.

We  really  appreciate  the  oppor-­ tunity  to  live  in  Middlebury,  and  believe  the  days  before  us  can  be  times  for  open  conversation,  inten-­ tional  listening  and  genuine  respect.

Jobs  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  accommodate  parents I  am  writing  you  today  to  discuss  the  problem  with  your  job  section  in  the  newspaper.

I  greatly  appreciate  that  there  is  a  section  in  the  newspaper  for  jobs,  but  there  is  a  downfall.  Most  of  the  MREV OLVWHG GRQœW ¿W \RXQJ SDUHQWVœ schedules.  In  society  today  with  young  teens  having  children  there  are  not  many  jobs  out  there  that  they  can  do,  because  of  the  hours  of  childcare,  transportation,  and  also  not  having  a  college  education.

Being  a  young  single  parent  I  know  how  hard  it  can  be.  I  feel  it  would  be  nice  and  helpful  for  many Â

parents  if  businesses  that  have  jobs  WR RIIHU FRXOG PDNH WKRVH MREV ÂżW young  parentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  schedules.  Other  people  from  the  community  could  KHOS E\ DGYHUWLVLQJ MREV WKH\ ÂżQG WKDW ÂżW RXU VLWXDWLRQ 7KLV ZRXOG EH really  appreciated.

I  hope  you  take  the  time  and  maybe  think  about  helping  young  parents  out.  Young  parents  really  do  want  to  work  because  they  also  need  to  work  on  a  routine  and  get  ready  for  more  challenging  adult  tasks.   Sadie  Norton Middlebury

Nuovoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  integrity,  college  ties  helpful People  wish  to  stand  up  to  power I  have  known  Victor  Nuovo  since  he  was  my  adviser  at  Middlebury  in  the  earliest  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;70s,  and  only  know  him  to  be  in  every  respect,  and  at  all  times,  to  be  a  PDQ RI WKH YHU\ KLJKHVW PRUDO ÂżEHU and  thoughtful  presence,  and  the  notion  that  in  his  role  as  selectman  there  might  be  motivations  outside  the  best  interests  of  the  residents  of  the  town  of  Middlebury,  strikes  me  as  absurd,  unfounded  and  unreasoned.  For  his  rectitude  to  be  impugned  in  the  discussion  regard-­ ing  all  the  major  doings  about  town  pains  me  personally.

Yes,  Victor  has  a  connection  to  the  college,  and  thank  heavens  for  that.  As  an  observer  of  town  and  gown  relations  over  the  years,  the  growing  sense  of  partnership  that  has  been  evolving  is  truly Â

remarkable  to  me.  We  are  as  a  town  and  society  at  large,  enter-­ ing  into  times  of  great  change  and  enormous  challenge.  The  pace  of  change  is  daunting,  but  to  shy  away  from  it  is  to  deny  the  urgency  of  the  challenges  that  confront  us.

The  college  has,  in  recent  years,  well  established  its  willingness  to  share  its  NOT  unlimited  resources  with  the  town  in  ways  that  have  been  of  enormous  benefit  to  the  town.  Change  is  inevitably  fraught  with  risk,  but  knowing  that  Victorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  depth,  integrity  and  philo-­ sophical  pragmatism  underlie  his  contribution  to  the  discourse,  is  reassuring,  and  would  be  withheld  at  great  loss  to  our  community.

In  my  work  of  consulting  to  healthcare  organizations  (device  makers  and  nonprofits),  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  become  keenly  aware  of  the  cost  pressures  and  other  challenges  facing  hospital  leadership.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  true  that  dealing  with  a  nurses  union  can  make  leadersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  already  difficult  jobs  more  difficult.

But  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  also  seen  how  much  harder  nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  jobs  have  become  in Â

the  current  healthcare  environment  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  how,  when  they  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  have  a  union  behind  them,  pressures  increase  and  working  conditions  deteriorate  for  nurses  and  other  healthcare  staff.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  a  good  situation  for  patients,  healthcare  professionals  or  hospital  management.  Our  nurses  deserve  to  feel  that  they  are  respected  and  supported  both  by  this  community  and  by  the  leadership  of  our  community  hospital.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  unfortunate  that  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  reached  the  point  where  many  Porter  nurses  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  feel  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  true.

If  and  when  the  nurses  are  repre-­ sented  by  a  union,  I  hope  both  nurses  and  management  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  includ-­ ing  the  community  board  of  direc-­ tors  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  will  take  it  as  powerful  incentive  to  heal  these  wounds  and  move  forward  together.  Gregory  Dennisâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  column  appears  here  every  other  Thursday  and  is  archived  on  his  blog  at  www. gregdennis.wordpress.com.  Email  him  at  gregdennisvt@yahoo.com;Íž  Twitter:  @GreenGregDennis.

Dennis (Continued  from  Page  5A) and  care  they  need.â&#x20AC;?

Porter  nurses  also  feel  unheard  when  it  comes  to  improving  patient  care,  she  said.  It  boils  down  to  one  word:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Respect.  We  deserve  respect  for  our  professionalismâ&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  quality  she  said  is  often  missing  in  the  way  nurses  are  treated  by  hospital  management  and  physicians.

One  of  the  most  heated  issues  during  the  union  drive  has  been  the  hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  efforts  to  present  its  side  of  the  issue.  Nurses  have  been  required  to  attend  meetings  at  the  hospital  to  hear  presentations  that  give  the  hospitalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  side.  Hospital  VP  and  spokesman  Ron  Hallman  points  out  that  nurses  are  paid  for  the  time  to  attend  the  meetings.  He  says  Porter  has  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  explicit  goal  of  providing  complete  and  factual  information  (as  required  by  law)  so  that  they  can  be  informed  voters.  We  want  every  nurse  to  vote  and  to  vote  with  all  of  the  information  available  from  every  perspective.â&#x20AC;?

Union  organizers  say  the Â

hospital  has  hired  an  outside  law  firm  to  advise  it  on  how  to  block  a  nurses  union,  and  that  the  manda-­ tory  sessions  leave  no  doubt  where  Porter  management  stands  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  opposed  to  a  union.

Indeed,  as  Hallman  acknowl-­ edged,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  do  not  believe  that  a  nursesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  union  would  be  a  positive  thing  for  our  organization,  our  employees  or  our  patients.â&#x20AC;?

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  curious  position  in  a  community  as  politically  progres-­ sive  as  Middlebury,  where  work-­ ersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  rights  and  voices  are  valued.

Indeed,  Porter  management  is  hearing  from  a  vocal  element  of  the  community  that  supports  a  union.  A  group  of  about  10  community  members  showed  up  unannounced  one  morning  at  Porter  to  speak  to  management.  I  was  a  member  of  that  group,  and  we  were  courte-­ ously  received  and  heard  by  four  members  of  management.  Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  also  a  community  petition  drive  in  support  of  the  nurses.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  open  question  whether  nurse  staffing  levels  at  Porter  have  hurt  the  quality  of  care.

erything  goes  well,  I  think  we  will  come  up  with  something  that  will  work.  Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  all  very  doable.â&#x20AC;?

Vincent  said  the  German  com-­ SDQ\ ZLOO VRRQ Ă&#x20AC;\ RQH RI LWV JOLGHUV to  the  Middlebury  State  Airport  to  give  J&M  workers  an  up-­close  look  at  the  aircraft.

A  signed  deal  would  likely  result  in  new  jobs  at  the  airport,  according  to  Vincent.  J&M  currently  has  three  full-­time  employees.  Green  Moun-­ tain  Avionics,  another  business  lo-­ cated  at  the  airport,  is  also  growing.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  everything  goes  well  and  the  product  is  moving,  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  sure  it  would  (bring  more  jobs),â&#x20AC;?  Vincent  said.

Indeed,  Gaucher  has  even  higher  hopes  for  the  Middlebury  State  Air-­ port.  He  spoke  of  another  business  prospect  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  specializing  in  aviation  research  and  development  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  that  is  also  being  cultivated  for  the  site.  Gaucher  believes  additional  busi-­ ness  growth  at  the  location  could  help  leverage  more  Federal  Avia-­ tion  Administration  dollars  for  capi-­ tal  investments  in  the  airport  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  in-­ cluding  extension  of  the  runway  to  someday  allow  access  to  small  jets. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  believe  that  airport  is  severely  under-­utilized,â&#x20AC;?  Gaucher  said.

Vermont  Livestock  has  for  sev-­ eral  years  been  looking  to  grow  its  operations  into  a  more  modern  and  larger  space.  The  company  has  been  operating  for  the  past  half-­century  out  of  its  Depot  Street  facility  in  Ferrisburgh,  which  was  originally  built  as  an  icehouse  during  the  early  1900s.

Players  in  the  Vermont  Livestock  deal  were  scheduled  to  meet  with  some  potential  lenders  on  Thursday,  2FW WR ZRUN RQ D ÂżQDQFLQJ SODQ for  the  project,  according  to  Gau-­ cher. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  hope  (that  deal)  comes  together  before  the  end  of  the  year,â&#x20AC;?  Gaucher  said.

THE  HOME  OF  Ed  and  Roberta  Thompson  on  East  River  Road  in  Lincoln  is  getting  a  fresh  coat  of  paint  thanks  to  a  project  funded  by  an  anonymous  donor  and  carried  out  by  volunteers  from  Addison  County  Habitat  for  Humanity  and  others.  Thanks  to  the  generosity  of  the  community,  the  house  will  see  siding  repairs  and  a  new  roof  in  addition  to  the  paint  job.

Habitat  for  Humanity  repairs  Lincoln  home LINCOLN  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  In  late  August,  Habitat  for  Humanity  was  contacted  by  a  donor,  who  has  asked  to  remain  anonymous,  about  the  possibility  of  painting  a  house  in  Lincoln.  She  wished  to  do  this  in  honor  of  one  of  her  sons.  The  donor  stipulated  there  had  to  be  a  serious  need  and  after  some  consideration,  recommended  the  Ed  and  Roberta  Thompson  house  on  East  River  Road.   After  careful  consideration,  Habi-­ tatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  board  approved  a  project  that  included  both  replacing  severely  damaged  siding  and  painting.  Habi-­ tat  volunteers  were  on  the  job  by  9  a.m.  Saturday  morning,  Oct.  5.  Then  on  Saturday,  Oct.  12,  the  Lin-­ coln  crew  joined  in,  recruited  in  part  by  Rev.  David  Wood.  By  the  end  of  the  day  on  Oct.  19,  the  front  side  of  the  house  was  painted.  Weather  has  been  excellent  for  the  work,  but  completion  of  the  entire  paint  job  will  likely  wait  until  spring.

Friends  and  family  members  have  come  by  to  help,  as  have  volunteers  from  outside  of  Lincoln,  who  have  all  been  amazed  by  the  sense  of  community  that  is  apparent  there.  Among  the  volunteers  were  builder  Avery  Smith  and  members  of  his  crew.  Avery  generously  has  offered  to  replace  the  roof  at  no  charge,  providing  people  in  the  community  come  up  with  $1,200  for  materials.  Habitat  has  agreed  to  oversee  that  project  also.  The  good  news:  By  late  Saturday,  Oct.  19,  one  family,  seeing  the  work  under  way,  wrote  a  check  for  $200,  and  two  others  added  donations  totaling  $71.   Those  interested  in  helping  come  up  with  the  additional  $900  needed  IRU WKH UHURRÂżQJ SURMHFW FDQ PDNH D tax-­deductible  contribution.  Simply  write  a  check  payable  to  Addison  County  Habitat  for  Humanity,  P.O.  Box  1217,  Middlebury,  VT  05753,  and  mark  it  for  the  Thompson  proj-­ ect.  Editorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  note:  This  piece  was  submitted  by  Chris  Robbins.
