Judge rules on subpoenas in hockey hazing lawsuit By COLIN FLANDERS with additional reporting by COURTNEY LAMDIN A recent ruling in the negligence lawsuit against Essex High School says it must provide copies of all discipline records on the boys hockey team over a four-year period. But the judge in the case will allow school officials to redact student names and

ordered the two parties to keep the documents confidential. The ruling gives the plaintiffs access to previously-confidential documents that their attorney, Jerome O’Neill, said were vital to proving their case. But Judge Robert A. Mello’s decision to allow redactions is a compromise from the initial request, and his order to effectively seal the records from public disclosure went beyond what the dis-

trict had asked. In his July 30 ruling, Mello said the conditions balance the “privacy interests of students with the plaintiffs’ interest in the requested documents.” Mello’s orders come just over a month after a hearing that featured arguments on two subpoenas issued in the suit, which alleges the school failed to protect the plaintiff ’s son from assault, hazing and ha-

rassment while he was a freshman on the hockey team. O’Neill had said in court filings that redacting documents obtained in discovery made it impossible for his clients to further investigate the claims or locate witnesses. O’Neill said his clients are “pleased” that they will receive the documents and “look forward to using them for purposes of See RECORDS, page 10

Business, with a dash of nostalgia Duo opens card collector storefront By COLIN FLANDERS

AMANDA BROOKS | ESSEX REPORTER

Jon Lang of Lang Farm has a three-acre hemp operation. The plant contains less of the psychoactive chemical found in marijuana.

Lang Farm diversifies with hemp operation

By AMANDA BROOKS

ucked away in a small, three-acre field behind his barns, Jon Lang’s hemp crop is flourishing. Lang has always been in the horticulture business, previously operating a garden shop on the property, as well as a tree nursery with over 21,000 trees. The two restored barns at Lang Farm are also known as a gorgeous backdrop for local weddings. This spring, with his already-established agricultural knowledge and research done in Colorado and at national conferences, Lang entered the hemp business with his son. Together they planted three acres of hemp, See HEMP, page 4

To make money off sports cards, a few rules reign supreme. Just ask Chris Heck and Mike Pap. Beyond names built for a talk show, the two are using their decades of experience in card collecting to kickstart a brand new business venture, Green Mountain Sportscards & Gaming. The shop opened in April and held a wellattended grand opening last month. Standing behind glass cases filled with the mugs an uncounted number of hall-of-famers, Heck and Pap gave The Reporter a quick crash course on how to not go broke buying and selling cards. Top of the list: Do your research. “You can lose a lot of money quickly if you don't know what you're doing,” Heck said. “If you buy dumb, or if you sell dumb, or you don't price right.” See, card collecting is a lot like the stock market – it’s volatile. You need to know not only when to weather the storm, but when to cash out. Think that rookie is the next Pedro Martinez? Get his card, and hold on tight. But not too tight: Nothing plummets a $1,000-investment quite like a midseason injury. Heck and Pap know the rules well. They met at a card shop in Winooski and soon came up with the plan to

Heck comes with experience in e-commerce thanks to his other business, Quick Consignment 802. For Pap, the venture is his second time in the game. He graduated from the University of Vermont in the late ’80s and opened a shop on Burlington’s Church Street, running it for six years amid intense competition as one of a dozen sellers in the area. He later entered the military and has since rejoined the civilian ranks. Twenty years later, much has changed in the card business starting,

as always, with the internet. The web vacillates between a card seller’s biggest foe and most useful tool. On one hand, it forces them to compete on a global scale. But it has also blasted open the market for sellers like Heck and Pap who can now reach customers around the world. Online sales help supplement their slower weeks, but they say that only accounts for about half their business. The rest comes from a growing clientele gradually finding its way into their nondescript suite hidden in See CARDS, page 3

COLIN FLANDERS | ESSEX REPORTER

TOP: Chris Heck is pictured behind a glass case full of sports cards. BELOW: Customers can sift through thousands of cards in the shop's bargain corner.

CARDS from page 1 the back of Complex 159, the strip of businesses next door to Harley Davidson. It’s not exactly a prime location for foot traffic, but Heck said in their line of business, that’s not a problem. “All you need them to do is find you once,” he said. “It doesn't matter where you are. We could be in a cave ¬– if they find you, they'll keep coming back.” Indeed, knowing much of their business comes from repeat customers, Heck and Pap plan to switch up their inventory often. They say they will buy new items both online and from people in the area, hoping that the prior volume of card sellers here means there’s still plenty of fish – or autographed cards – in the sea. They don’t focus solely on sports cards, however. They’ve amassed a large collection of trading cards, too, including Pokémon, Yu-Gi-Oh and Magic the Gathering and earned a notable following among enthusiasts unaccustomed to finding such vintage cards for sale in Vermont. They vow they can find any card within several days and track down unique or rare items. That service has prompted some to come in with regular requests and built a relationship Pap says is exactly why brickand-mortar locations are still relevant today. “You don't go to Amazon and start talking about the game last night,” Pap said. “It's an experience,” Heck added. The customer base for card sellers has also drastically changed in recent years. Collections were once no doubt a rite of passage for many youth, and chances are someone you know still has a fat binder away in their attic somewhere.

But Heck and Pap don’t see a lot of kids collecting cards anymore, and many casual hobbyists – and the stores that helped build them up – have also faded with time. Instead, their base is mostly older men who collect on the side or view cards as a form of gambling; it’s not uncommon for someone to buy a pack of cards, rip it open and then ask the owners to sell a few on consignment. Heck and Pap know some might roll their eyes at the idea of opening a card shop in the digital age. They acknowledge they rely on a somewhat unconventional business model: Instead of convincing people to need something, they must react to the market and evolve with their customers. Even then, it takes discipline to survive. That’s why neither Pap nor Heck indulges when asked if they have a favorite card. “I don’t have any real attachment to any of it,” Heck said of his collection, “because if [you] do, that's how you lose money.” It wasn’t always that way. Heck thinks of his dad every time he sees a Ken Griffey card from the ’89 Upper Deck collection, which dropped when he first started getting into cards. Pap, too, remembers opening a new box of cards every Easter. With a business to run, Heck and Pap have less room for sentiment, and many of their clients have the same mentality. But they say one theme ties together nearly all customers, no matter what they’re looking for. “It all goes back to their childhood,” Heck said. One five-star review among more than a dozen on their Facebook page seems to agree. “It was like going back in time,” wrote Earl Handy. “But this time, I was the dad.”

Jon Lang grows hemp at Lang Farm in Essex. The business owner has partnered with another firm to extract cannabidiol, or CBD, a chemical thought to have therapeutic benefits, according to several medical studies.

hemp from page 1 which, in just five weeks, have matured into plants almost four feet tall. The species of hemp that Lang grows on the property is Cannabis sativa and is specifically bred to have lower levels of tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, the chemical compound that produces psychoactive effects in the brain, and more cannabidiol, or CBD, which is thought to have therapeutic, medicinal benefits according to several studies. “What we’re focusing on in this product is the cannabidiol, CBD, for pain relief, anxiety issues,” Lang explained. He expressed enthusiasm for proper research that can finally be conducted to explore more of the plant’s health benefits now that the product has been legalized. “It’s a very professional and upscale business,” Lang said. “It has a very capitalistic side to it for sure.” Lang has already promised this year’s crop of hemp to Kria, an investment and consulting service working with local farmers and entrepreneurs in Vermont. Kria will extract the CBD from his plants, and Lang will sell them the extracted product. “Instead of trying to be our own little sail in the wind, I thought we’d partner up with these guys,” Lang said. “By pairing up with someone of that scale and scope and ability, it gives us a pretty secure foundation to make this kind of investment work in time.”

Lang expressed his desire to expand his production to around 10 acres next spring if this year’s crops do well. He’s confident, citing the extraordinary size of his plants already this season. Lang’s business is one of over 330 registered hemp farms in Vermont, which comprise over 2,300 acres of agricultural lands in the state – and the

“It's a very professional and upscale business.” – Jon Lang number is constantly growing due to some recent help from the legislature. On July 1, new legislation took effect that required Vermont hemp farmers to register their operations with the state to be compliant with the 2014 Farm Bill. By registering with the Vt. Agency of Agriculture, hemp farmers are allowed to import hemp seeds from other Farm Bill-compliant states, as well as sell their product to out-of-state markets, said Cary Giguere, agricul-

tural resource management section chief with the Agency of Ag. In return, hemp farmers must participate in the state pilot research program on hemp. Additionally, the state’s new Cannabis Quality Control Program will test farmers’ products for THC levels to ensure they don’t have higher than .3 percent THC so it can be sold as hemp and not cannabis. To participate, hemp farmers pay an annual registration fee of $25 which directly supports the program, including research and quality control. The entire piece of legislation supports a more regulated market for hemp and will benefit farmers, Giguere said. “It makes it easier for folks to participate in this new agricultural opportunity,” Giguere said, adding the new legislation will expand Vermont’s ag economy and provide more opportunities for farmers. Lang fully supports the new state program, citing benefits not only to farmers, but community members as well. “My goal is to get it out of the school system,” Lang said passionately. “Let it be a substance that is legal, obtainable, taxable and profitable for all people involved in the growing and distribution chain in a legalized fashion.”

Essex man stopped for negligent operation By COURTNeY LAmDIN An Essex man stopped for speeding on the interstate Monday night was cited into court for a handful of violations, Vermont State Police said in a news release. Police say Maxwell J. Corbin, 25, was traveling 115 mph in a posted 65-mph zone on I-89 southbound in Milton around 8:15 p.m. Monday, Aug 6. Police arrested Corbin without incident and transported him to the VSP barracks in St. Albans for processing. Police say during transport, Corbin "became threatening and violent toward troopers, striking the inside of the cruiser and spitting inside the cruiser." Corbin was on conditions of release from a prior arrest, and his behavior netted him a citation for violating those release conditions, police say. Police issued Corbin a flash citation to appear in Chittenden County Superior Court – Criminal Division on August 7 at 8:30 a.m. for careless and negligent operation, unlawul mischief and violating conditions of release.

PERSPECTIVE

Making gains in growing Vermont’s workforce By DUSTIN DEGREE

rom his first day in office, Gov. Phil Scott has made expanding our workforce and getting more Vermonters into good paying jobs the foundation of his economic mission. Putting folks into jobs we know are available in Vermont is one of the most effective ways to grow the economy. That emphasis, combined with the administration’s new efforts to get more Vermonters into the work place, is beginning to show progress. And under Scott’s leadership, we have finally started to reverse a nearly 10-year decline in the size of our labor force. In June 2018, there were 348,287 people in our labor force – 4,656 more people than in December 2017. Six straight months of labor force expansion, after nearly a decade of decline and stagnation, is a reason for optimism. We’re back on the right track! These measures are up for a variety of reasons, and could continue to improve as new initiatives help even more Vermonters get back to work and attract new working-age families to our state. For example, this year’s budget invests in expanding adult technical education. Many Vermont businesses have good paying jobs but need candidates with specific skills. Just as a truck driver needs a CDL, someone working on a high-tech factory floor needs a level of expertise not always found in

a traditional education. By establishing training programs specific to the jobs available around the state, we’ll be able to provide job-seekers with the right skills, at the right time. We’re also excited to create Vermont’s first “Returnship” program, providing training for workers who have a history of employment, but who may have left the workforce to raise children, take care of an elderly parent, or any one of many common situations that cause a break in labor force participation. And we’re working to match the thousands of students who choose Vermont for college with available job openings before they graduate; supporting our neighbors in recovery hoping for their first job after overcoming addiction; and we will be one of the first states in the nation to offer licensing reciprocity to members of the military as they leave full time service and enter the civilian job market. This will help ensure they are able to use the skills they’ve learned in uniform, once their service has come to an end. With the governor’s focus on strengthening and expanding the labor force and growing the economy, and with support from legislators on both sides of the aisle, we’ve made important strides for Vermonters. And there’s more good news. There are more people employed in Vermont today than at any point since April 2011. According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, 339,514

Vermonters are now working. That’s an increase of more than 4,500 in the last six months alone. To put that in perspective, that’s about the same as the population of the town of Georgia, or Randolph or Castleton. We’re also starting to see a greater portion of the population in the labor force. Our labor participation rate has increased by about 2 percent since the beginning of 2017. We’re seeing the number of caseloads decrease in Human Services, as fewer Vermonters are in need of economic services. And the state ended fiscal year 2018 with a $70 million surplus across all funds. In this political climate, it’s often easier to count the negative headlines and political drama of the day. But, far above the superficial soundbites, the Scott Administration, working together with legislators and state, local and federal partners, is making real and measurable progress towards a stronger economic future for all Vermonters. There’s plenty more to do, and we must continue making positive gains for all Vermonters, but this is very good news worth sharing. Dustin A. Degree is the director of workforce expansion for Gov. Phil Scott's adminstration. He also serves as executive director of the State Workforce Development Board and is a former state senator from Franklin County.

Common ground on clean water

By RIckY kLEIN

love the Earth because it’s where people live. This bias is the foundation upon which I build my actions. When I advocate water policies, give testimony on industry standards, write op-eds exactly like this one, I think it helps to know that I care about this planet because it’s where people live. I am urged to develop a love for the Earth – and ideally all the habitats and inhabitants that it supports – for its own sake. For those who are capable of this mighty feat, bless your blue-green heart. I genuinely believe that the devastation wrought upon the environment is a real and constant pain for you. I, however, feel a deep love for this planet because it’s the one people live on. The reason I’m driving home my underlying agenda is that I seem to be one of the only people doing so. There’s a shame associated with having an ulterior motive when it comes to saving the planet. Shouldn’t we all simply want clean water, fresh air, abundant trees, and healthy wildlife for their own sake? Maybe. But it’s not necessary. Bird watchers, hunters, farmers, residents, tourists, politicians, citizens, members of all political parties, you name it, they all want clean water. Nobody wants to be a polluter. When I say nobody wants to be a polluter, I mean it. The recent undermining of the EPA was not done with intention that the United States pollute more. The pollution is a horrific by-product of a misguided attempt to support American industry. This is a non-trivial point: Pollution is incidental, almost never the goal. Which brings me back to my original agenda: I have a little girl. She is a year old and cannot go swimming in the lake near our house because the water is toxic during the summer. I am also a brewer by profession, an industry which relies on high standards of water quality. I also live next to three dairy farms. I am friends with all of my neighbors, every one of whom sprays manure on their fields and votes for a different party from me. Both of which create a brief but not overwhelming stink in my home. I also have a staff largely comprising avid fishers and hunters while I am a hiker. I also live in Swanton where the citizenry resists the removal of a dam that serves no purpose beyond endanger-

ing their properties and devastating local fisheries. Let us take the rare step of looking beyond the immediate issue of water to the end goals of these populations. The Vermont government is constantly being shellacked for raising taxes on an already highly taxed population. The problem of waste-water treatment is not particularly sexy and is inevitably very costly. Many of our incredible legislators are motivated by serving their electorate, which creates a catch-22 when they are given the conflicting goals of not spending any money and solving problems which, apparently, cost vast sums of money to fix. How about those blame-ridden farmers? Dairy farmers live closer to the land than almost any extant population in Vermont. Rain and frost and floods – all forms of water, mind you – impact their very existence. When your crops have been destroyed and with them your ability to feed your children, there is a depth of shame and sorrow I hope none of my readers have felt. If, then, a whole group of seemingly self-righteous “Eco-Warriors” show up to protest the water leaving their land rather than to help abate the water staying on it, seeds of acrimony have been sewn which will undoubtedly bear fruit. Fishers, hunters, hikers, kayakers, and bird watchers all essentially want the same thing. And the residents of Swanton? Call it nostalgia. Call it Yankee Spirit. But don’t imagine for a minute that it’s because the people hate the water. When we know that the end goal of the farmer is to feed her family, that the politician wants to provide water infrastructure without saddling the taxpayer, that lovers of the outdoors want to get outside to clean, beautiful places, that brewers need affordable clean water to keep our businesses afloat. When we understand the real end goal, it’s easier to talk about the process. We don’t get hung up by the narcissism of minor differences between dairy and vegetable farmers or hunters and hikers. I want to take my little girl swimming and keep food on her table. Please help me do that, and I promise to help ensure you can keep fishing, keep farming, keep serving the people of Vermont.

When I say nobody wants to be a polluter, I mean it.

What happens when post offices disappear in Vt.?

By EMERSON LYNN

he Trump administration this week is supposed to release its report on how the U.S. Postal Service could be restructured to lose less money. The report is expected to advocate for a privatization model, something that would remove it from underneath the government’s protective wing, where it has been since its founding in 1775. If the privatization model is actually proposed, and if it is employed, the effect on rural America – places like Vermont – will be considerable. In the city, taking the postal service private may make sense. The population density is such that the market potential might be achieved by for profit businesses. Amazon is already creating delivery centers in medium and large cities, and, as we know, Amazon can compete. It may be the example of Amazon, Uber, etc., that are driving part of the administration’s interest in taking the postal service private. But this opportunity doesn’t exist in Vermont, or any largely rural state. Anyone who drives our backroads has a clear understanding as to what it would cost to deliver products of any nature. Not only would the delivery service be more expensive; it simply might not happen. That’s a problem. If the delivery service we now depend upon from the U.S. Postal Service were to disappear, it would further isolate those who live outside the city. It would have a dramatic effect on all our counties, with the possible exception of Chittenden County. We already have a population in decline. The more rural the counties, the more severe the problem. Remove the principal means by which these communities receive their packages, letters, etc., and the isolation increases and the costs go up. It’s an assault, of sorts, on rural America. The motivating factor behind the administration’s push is that the postal service is losing money. Save a billion here and a billion there and the money adds up. That’s the headline, and it’s something that appeals to the nation’s city dwellers, which is where 80 percent of the nation’s population lives. They don’t need the postal service; they have Amazon. But the reason the postal service is losing money is largely because of a 2006 law that required the postal service to prefund its retiree health benefits for 75 years, something that no other agency is required to do. Back those costs out and the postal service suddenly looks competitive. There is an understandable need to look at the postal service as an outdated business model. It’s operated under the same set of rules and guidelines since the beginning of time. But the answer isn’t to dismantle something thought to be so vital to most Americans. The answer is to allow it to compete in the markets it can do so. The answer is to figure out services it can provide that also strengthen the communities they serve. Most Vermont communities, for example, have a post office. Could they not also be places used to increase vote-by-mail campaigns, which is vital to strengthening our democracy? Could they be places where people have their packages giftwrapped, or other products sold? Undoubtedly, there will be a time when drones and driverless cars will be the means by which rural America receives its deliverable products. But we’re not there yet and it will be years before that’s realized. In the meantime, it seems more than prudent to do what’s necessary to keep the U.S. Postal Service both relevant and vital. It’s one of rural America’s lifelines, which means all of life’s decisions needn’t revolve around for-profit organizations. It’s called doing things for the common good.

RECORDS from page 1 establishing our case.” The subpoenas sought discipline records for all students who played on the boys hockey team over a sixyear period starting in 2010, five years before the victim joined the team. O’Neill believed those records would shed light on what high school officials knew about misconduct prior to the victim’s abuse in late 2015 and early 2016.

Arguing for the extended timeframe, the plaintiffs’ lawyers described hazing as a tradition passed from generation to generation. Knowledge of prior events in a location as specific as the team locker room, they argued, is enough to warrant additional supervision, regardless of whether the acts occurred a day or a decade before the victim’s abuse.

Mello, however, found the request too broad. He trimmed the timeframe by two years, agreeing with the district’s argument that the earliest any of the victim’s teammates were at the high school is 2012. O’Neill also asked for sets of documents showing the main perpetrator was a star player on the team, thus explaining why the district took no punitive action amid an otherwise successful season. And he sought records that he hoped would prove team captains were awarded a high level of responsibility, making them – as he put it in a court filing – the “eyes and ears of the coaches.” Showing that would help substantiate a position suggested in court filings: That the school had notice of the misconduct several months before it began investigating because the victim reported some of the incidents to a team captain.

The second half of Mello’s ruling involved motions to quash from Alexander Giummo, a then-sophomore said to be one of the main perpetrators, and his parents. At a June court hearing, the plaintiffs’ lawyers said Giummo exposed himself to the victim, repeatedly punched him, damaged his belongings and urinated on him, among other inappropriate behaviors. Both the high school’s internal investigation and a subsequent independent review found the victim’s claims were credible and concluded Giummo violated school policies on bullying, hazing, harassment and retaliation. A criminal investigation into Giummo’s behavior was eventually referred to family court, where proceedings are confidential. But O’Neill subpoenaed Giummo and his parents for any documents related to any criminal proceedings

Recent incidents highlight need for residents to stay 'bear smart' MONTPELIER – As incidents of bears breaking into homes, garages, sheds and vehicles in Vermont increase, so too should efforts by residents to bear-proof their homes and secure potential outdoor food sources that can attract bears. While searching for food in early July, one bear broke into a Killington home through an open window, and another Killington bear entered the Northstar Lodge through an open door. A Pownal woman awoke to the sound of a bear breaking through a kitchen window to access a honey comb that had been left within reach, while a similar incident occurred in Townsend where a bear broke into a kitchen freezer. According to Vermont State Game Warden Sgt. Chad Barrett, bears don’t naturally break into homes. They must first have had experience receiving food from humans. The process of habituation begins with attractants that residents leave out such as birdseed, pet food, or unsecured garbage. “When bears get into garbage, pet food, beehives, and birdfeeders without any consequences, their behavior escalates as they lose fear of humans and begin to cause more damage,” said Barrett. “Once a bear is conditioned to associate people with food, little can be done to fix the problem. Relocating bears is ineffective. Bears that have been lured into a neighborhood by one careless resident quickly become a problem for the entire community.” Some bears have also taken to entering cars in search of food, including a bear in Warren this past week that became trapped in a car. To protect human safety, Barrett ultimately had to shoot the bear, which is the unfortunate result of many of these cases. While nobody was harmed in any of these incidents in Vermont, a New Hampshire woman was badly injured when a bear entered her home early on the morning of July 17. If a bear enters a home, Barrett urges people to get to a safe place and call 911. If a bear is near the house or is attempting to make entry, he recommends people make as much noise as

A bear caused damage to this vehicle in Killington, state officials say. they can to scare it off. In addition to removing birdfeeders and securing garbage, Barrett recommends residents avoid giving bears an easy entrance by locking doors and shutting downstairs windows at night. Motion-activated lights and alarms can also be used to deter bears that wander too close to homes. The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is asking the public to report all bear conflicts to the department’s website at www.vtfishandwildlife.com.

Reporting an incident helps track problem areas and allows wardens or biologists to advise residents on ways to mitigate the problem. Residents are reminded that it is now illegal to feed bears in Vermont, even unintentionally. “Black bears naturally search for food. That behavior will not change,” Barrett said. “It’s the people’s responsibility to keep human food inaccessible, so that bears remain healthy and wild.”

the result of their subpoenas, the plaintiffs’ lawyers ramped up their efforts, issuing requests to depose five individuals. Among them: Essex High School athletic director Jeff Goodrich and former boys hockey coach Bill O’Neil. Meanwhile, EWSD attorney Pietro Lynn said he will likely file a motion for summary judgment, asking Mello to dismiss the case, but not until the Vermont Supreme Court rules on another hazing case, filed by family of the late Milton hazing victim, Jordan Preavy. “We wouldn’t file a [motion for summary judgment] only to have the Supreme Court potentially change the law,” Lynn said. “It’s prudent for the defense to wait for its decision, assuming one comes relatively soon.”

as well as any communications between the family. At the June hearing, Brooks McArthur, an attorney representing the Giummos, argued the confidentiality provided by family court should extend to the juveniles themselves, and the family shouldn’t be forced to share their communications. Mello agreed with the former, ruling the Giummos must produce only documents that aren’t typically confidential under Vermont law. But he fell short of declaring the family communications exempt from disclosure, citing the lack of a parent-child privilege in Vermont law. Mello’s ruling came days after he handed down an analogous decision in a strikingly similar negligence lawsuit filed by a Milton hazing victim. His ruling cited that case extensively.

HEALTH

State confirms Lyme carditis death BURLINGTON – Laboratory results from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) have confirmed that the recent death of a Franklin County, Vermont resident was a result of Lyme carditis, a rare complication of Lyme disease. This is the first reported death due to Lyme carditis in Vermont. "It’s my sad duty to report this loss,” Vermont health commissioner Mark Levine said. “While Lyme disease is increasingly common in Vermont, Lyme carditis itself is very rare,” Approximately 1 percent of all Lyme disease cases reported nationally to CDC experience Lyme carditis. According to CDC, between 1985 and 2014, there were nine deaths related to Lyme carditis reported worldwide. Lyme carditis is a rare condition that occurs when the bacteria that cause Lyme disease enter the tissues of the heart. Once in

the tissue, the bacteria can interfere with the normal movement of electrical signals between the heart’s chambers, resulting in

heart block. Heart block can progress rapidly, with symptoms that can range from mild to severe. Patients with Lyme carditis may also

experience more common symptoms of Lyme disease, including fever, body aches and an erythema migrans rash. Lyme carditis is treated with antibiotics, and in some cases may require a temporary pacemaker. “Lyme and other tickborne diseases can cause serious illness,” said Dr. Levine. “But Lyme disease, including Lyme carditis, is treatable.” The Health Department issued an advisory to the state’s health care providers on August 6, 2018, reminding them to ask patients suspected of having Lyme disease about cardiac symptoms, and to consider Lyme disease as a possible cause of unexplained, sudden cardiac events. “Prevention is key,” Dr. Levine said. “It is important for everyone to take everyday actions to protect themselves from ticks, and to be aware of symptoms of illness so you can talk with your health care provider.”

The best way to prevent tickborne diseases is to prevent tick bites: PROTECT: Avoid areas where ticks live. Use EPA-registered tick repellent on exposed skin. Use permethrin on clothing. Wear pants and long sleeves to keep ticks off your body. CHECK: Remove ticks from your clothes before going indoors and put your clothes in the dryer on high for 10 minutes to kill any remaining ticks. Shower soon after coming indoors and check your whole body for ticks. REMOVE: Remove the tick as soon as you can. Use tweezers to remove the tick. This is the removal method that is proven to work.

UVM Medical Center promotes financial assistance programs The University of Vermont Medical Center is taking steps to ensure patients are aware of various options for receiving financial assistance to pay for medical care. Patient bills are being simplified for ease of understanding, and financial assistance handouts have been updated to provide more information. As a non-profit, safety-net hospital with a mission to provide needed care regardless of someone’s ability to pay, the UVM Medical Centeroffers a number of financial assistance programs including an automatic uninsured discount to all patients seeking care regardless of residency, and the type and location of care. We also offer additional free and discounted medically necessary care to Vermonters and residents of northern New York who do not have insurance, who are not eligible for a government program, or who are insured but cannot afford the costs associated with their care. There is also assistance available to help pay for medications and/or medical supplies. “No one should delay or forgo care out of financial concern,” said Shannon Lonergan, director of Patient Access at the UVM Medical Center. “That is why we place such a significant emphasis on educating our patients and families about the programs and ser-

vices available to them, and on helping them with the payment process.” Preliminary calculations from fiscal year 2017 indicate community benefits provided by the UVM Medical Center totaled approximately $193 million, or 16.2 percent of net revenues, which includes free care, grants to community health organizations, and absorbing underpayments in Medicaid and other programs. This percentage is typically higher than hospitals in Vermont and northern New York, and major academic medical centers in New England. Here are various ways patients can learn more about assistance that is available to them: • Speak with patient financial services. Call 847-8000 or (800) 6392719 • Apply for financial assistance.

Unwanted medicine? Mail it back BURLINGTON – The Vermont Department of Health has introduced free prescription medication mail-back envelopes as a safe, simple and secure way to dispose of unwanted and unused medications. Up to eight ounces of medications – either in their original containers, or in a sealed bag – can be put in each pre-addressed, 8x11 inch envelope, which is then mailed off to be destroyed. Vermont Health Commissioner Mark Levine said the mail-back program builds on the success the state has had in reclaiming prescription medication through Prescription Drug Take Back Days and drug disposal kiosks located around Vermont. “We know that many people who misused prescription pain relievers first got them from a friend’s or relative’s medicine cabinet. One of the key prevention steps everyone can take is to rid our homes of all unneeded medications – what we call Vermont’s Most Dangerous Leftovers.” Vermonters turned in nearly 6,000 pounds of medications at Take Back Day earlier this year, which included medications collected through the Lamoille County Sheriff Drug Disposal Pilot Project. More than 600 pounds of drugs were also collected in the past five months from 21 state-supported drug disposal kiosks located at pharmacies and hospitals. Dr. Levine said the mail-back program is important

health for 30 days following a tick bite. Symptoms may include rash, fever, headache, joint pain, muscle aches, fatigue, or joint swelling. Most, but not all, people with Lyme disease report a rash. Contact your health care provider if you do get symptoms. Tell them about recent outdoor activities and any tick bites you may recall. Learn more about preventing tick bites and tickborne diseases: healthvermont.gov/beticksmart For more about Lyme carditis, visit: cdc.gov/ lyme/signs_symptoms/lymecarditis.html For health news, alerts and information, visit healthvermont.gov.

because, while not everyone has the time to get to a drop off location, almost everyone has medications they no longer need. “This program offers people an easy way to safely dispose of medications and help to prevent drug misuse.” Unused, expired, or unwanted medications are placed in the pre-paid envelope, sealed, and mailed through the United States Postal Service. The envelopes should be brought to a post office, handed to your mail carrier or dropped in a USPS mailbox. The envelopes are then delivered to Stericycle, Inc. for accountable, standardized and secure destruction of the pharmaceutical waste. The medication mail-back envelopes are available at town offices, health centers, libraries, senior centers, veterinarian offices, and other locations in communities across the state. Envelopes can also be ordered online from the Health Department, at healthvermont.gov/free-prescription-medication-mail-back-envelopes Visit healthvermont. gov to learn more about the program, including what can – and cannot – be mailed, and to find a permanent drug disposal site near you.

River Junction. Over 800 swimmers from 19 teams across the state competed. The TEST 18 and under men led the way with two first place relay finishes, crushing their competition and setting two new VSA relay records (beating TEST's own records set last year). The 200 medley relay with Ross Macy (back), Oliver Austin (breast), Cameron Marcus (fly) and Casey Keenan (free) finished with a time of 1:38.76. The 200 free relay record was set by Ross Macy, Elliot Limanek, Oliver Austin and Casey Keenan with a time of 1:30.10. Casey Keenan, one of two graduating seniors from TEST, went on to break two more individual 17-18 Men's VSA records in the 50 free (21.93) and 100 free (47.85), and he finished first two more times in the 17-18 men's 50 back and 100 back. TEST 14 and under men's 200 medley relay were Luke Austin (back), Thomas Denton (breast), Jacob Antonovich (fly) and Owen Robinson (free), who finished first by just missing the VSA record previously set by TEST in 2015. This same group of boys went on to break the VSA 200 free relay record, but they were touched out by BTC's 14 & under boys in a race to the finish. Thomas Denton ended up with four individual first place finishes in the 50 breast, 100 IM, 100 back and 100 breast.

Jill Charest, Leah Teter, Niki Davignon all scored for VEL. 2 Sisters edged Huff N’ Puff 2-1 in a game not indicative of the score. Wednesday night’s final should be a beauty. Results next week. Traveled to Gunstock Mountain in Guilford, N.H. last weekend with my wife to see SoulFest. The concert included incredible singers like Jordan Feliz, Big Daddy Weave, Toby Mac, Rebecca St. James, Colton Dixon and a southern rocker named Crowder who made hillbilly music rock! Had a blast. Even the governor made a cameo on stage. Told you last week that the Sox looked unbeatable. Sadly, they made me look good. Happy birthday wishes to my brother Vince, who happens to be one of the smartest people I know. Also Valerie Smith, Shirley Smith (no relation), Daniel Goodrow, Joe Gangel, Olivia DiMambro and Kate LaMarche Fitts. Happy anniversary, Josh and Sara Stark.

Lime and coconut are together in this recipe, and they’re one of my favorite flavor combinations. INGREDIENTS • 3/4 cup sweetened flaked coconut • 2 cups whipping cream, cold • 1 cup confectioner's sugar • 2 teaspoon lime zest (about 1 lime's worth) • 40 thin chocolate wafer cookies (like Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers)

2. 3.

TIP Allow time for the mixing bowl and whisk attachment to chill in the freezer for 30 minutes before starting recipe. Also allow time for the assembled cake to rest in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight. INSTRUCTIONS Place the bowl and whisk attachment from a stand mixer in the freezer to chill for 30 minutes. Have a 9" x 5" loaf pan ready for the cake. Use a food processor or mini chopper to mince the flaked coconut to a fine consistency. (You can also use a knife and do this by hand.) Set aside. When the bowl is chilled, assemble it with the whisk attachment on your stand mixer. Pour the whipping cream into the bowl and turn the mixer on high. Beat the cream for 5 minutes, then pause it to add in the confectioner's sugar. Continue to beat the cream on high for another 5 minutes or so: check the cream often and stop the mixer when there are stiff peaks. Fold the minced coconut and lime zest into the whipped cream: mix it in gently until they are incorporated into the cream.

Wafers in the bottom of the loaf pan, arranging and overlapping them to cover the bottom. Scoop 1 cup of the flavored whipped cream into the loaf pan and spread it to an even layer. Repeat these steps 3 more times: when you reach the final layer of cream, put all the remaining cream in (it may be a little more than a cup at the end.) Top this final layer of cream with a layer of cookies. Cover the pan with plastic wrap and put the pan in the fridge for at least 8 hours or overnight to set. When ready to serve, use a sharp knife to cut slices of the cake: a spatula can be useful in maneuvering the pieces out of the pan (especially that first piece!) Serve immediately.

Leftover cake can be stored in the fridge for up to 3 days. Serves 8. Prep time: 25 minutes Total time: 25 minutes

Author's note: This salsa came about a few years back when my daughter and I spent most of the summer eating Margherita Pizza: a simple, summery combination of fresh tomatoes, fresh basil, and loads of garlic, together with mozzarella cheese on a pizza crust.

Recipe: Tomato basil salsa By NANCY MOCK HungryEnoughtoEatSix.com Prep time: 20 minutes. Makes 4 cups. INGREDIENTS • 10 Roma tomatoes (Regular Romas in the grocery are about 3.5 ounces each. Once seeded and chopped you will have about 4 cups.) • 1/3 cup fresh basil leaves, removed from the stems, washed and dried • 3 cloves garlic, peeled • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil • 1 teaspoon salt • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper INSTRUCTIONS Slice the tomatoes in half lengthwise. Remove and discard the seeds and pulp. Chop the tomatoes into small pieces and place them in a large bowl. Stack 3-4 basil leaves on top of each

other, roll them up from one of the long sides, then slice through the roll horizontally with a knife. Run your knife once or twice through these ribbons of basil and add them to bowl. Repeat with the rest of the basil leaves. Finely mince the garlic cloves by hand or in a food processor, and add them to the bowl. Add in the oil, salt and pepper. Gently toss the ingredients together. The salsa can be served immediately or allowed to sit at room temperature for about 1 hour for the flavors to meld. Serve it with tortilla or pita chips. It can also be served on bite-sized pieces of artisan sourdough or white bread - if desired, sprinkle a little mozzarella or grated Parmesan cheese over the tops and place them under the broiler for about a minute, then serve them immediately.
