Don’t drink and drive Expect DWI patrols this holiday weekend By Matthew Saari As you ring in the New Year this weekend, just be sure not to be a reveler who decides to drink and drive unless you’re prepared to face the consequences. The State Department of Motor Vehicles states there were 7,849 alcoholrelated motor vehicle accidents in 2014 and 292 individuals were killed as a result of those accidents. Data was unavailable for more recent years. In 2015 there were 10,265 drunkdriving fatalities accounting for 29 percent of all traffic related deaths. This equates to 28 people dying every day as a result of drinking and driving, or one death every 51 minutes, according to the Center for Disease Control. Every year New Year’s Eve brings with it celebrations which more often than not

include alcohol consumption and police agencies throughout the region will be ramping up patrols to prevent local residents from adding to those statistics. Officers from both Whitehall and Granville communities will be working to ensure there’s no backsliding. Across the border in Vermont, state and local police departments are already cracking down not only on drunk-driving incidents but all unsafe motor vehicle operators. On Wednesday, Dec. 20 Vermont State Police working in concert with Rutland, Castleton and Fair Haven police departments engaged in a county-wide traffic safety operation looking for aggressive and distracted drivers, seatbelt violations and electronic device usage in addition to impaired driving. 278 vehicles were stopped throughout the operation

Michelle Bates would like to see a snowman on each lawn in Wells, Vermont.

Wells residents challenged to build snowmen By Krystle S. Morey A local woman is challenging residents in her small Vermont town to participate in a community-wide winter activity. Michelle Bates, of Wells, would like to see a snowman built on each of her neighbors’ lawns. “Let’s have a snowman on every lawn in Wells,” she said. “How cool would this be for all and for visitors to our town to see snowmen all over.” “Come on, it will be fun,” Bates provoked. Some Wells Wildcats have

already taken Bates’ challenge, adorning their side lawns and front grasses with their own frozen Frosty. Scarves, top hats, carrot noses, sweaters, mittens and other accessories are all fair game to help dress up snowmen. Bates even offered to help those who may not be able to build a snowman themselves. “If you need help, just give me a call and I will hook you up with someone who can give you a hand,” she said. For additional information, call Michelle Bates at 802-6450934.

resulting in 62 speeding violations, 35 violations for using electronic devices, nine drivers operating vehicles with suspended licenses, three commercial vehicle violations and 66 miscellaneous violations. Vermont police will continue saturating the region with patrols and DUI checkpoints throughout the holiday season. “Each town including the sheriffs and state will put on extra patrols,” Fair Haven police chief Bill Humphries said. “That’s to include checkpoints, high visibility enforcement and saturation patrols.” Humphries echoed Bassett’s sentiments with regards to seeing a decrease in drunk driving offenses, stating the trend is due in large part to aggressive patrolling and education efforts. “Our numbers are down from last year,” he said. “I’ve seen a direct correlation with car accidents too.” Penalties associated with a DWI or DUI charges vary based upon a number of factors including age, number of offenses, blood alcohol content and state.

Slate bylaws rejected by selectmen By Krystle S. Morey After receiving opposition from Poultney residents and businesses, the Poultney Select Board voted last week to reject the town planning commission’s proposed strict bylaws regarding slate mining and processing. The planning commission proposed amending the town’s bylaws, adopted in 2014, changing zoning regulations regarding the slate industry, such as lowering the allowable height of slate dump piles and extending property line setbacks of quarries The select board voted on Monday to send the proposals back to the planning commission. Two members voted to reject the plan, while two abstained. George Miller was not in attendance. “The board voted to send it back to the planning commission for further recommenda-

tions, with two members abstaining,” said Paul A. Donaldson, Poultney town manager, in an email. The Select Board is made up of Donaldson, Miller, Chair Jeff King, Frank Fressie, vice chairman Thomas Coloutti and Terry Williams. Donaldson did not respond to multiple calls and emails asking him to confirm which two members abstained from the vote, whether there would be another public hearing on the plans, or to clarify if there is a deadline for the planning commission to propose revised bylaws. King also did not return a call for comment. The commission is a “quasi-legislative commission… elected by the voters to draft language for the Poultney Zoning Regulations, Poultney Subdivision Regulations and the Poultney Town Plan.”

It had proposed a setback of 200 feet of all pits, dumps, buildings, to any residential structure or property line, requiring reclamation plans prior to the issuance of any land-use permits; demanding sufficient height and strength for every access point to deny access to the public is required around any pit or excavation; limiting the height of slate dump piles to 40 feet; and limiting the load weights of trucks hauling slate to comply with road specifications. A Select Board meeting earlier this month drew more than 40 slate quarry owners and workers and residents who expressed concern about possible affects the bylaws would have on the slate industry. Poultney’s town plan and zoning regulations are available online at poultney.vt.gov.

Letter

Food, dancing and fun To the editor: On Sunday, Dec. 3, ARC Rutland Area and the Elks Club, co-sponsored an afternoon of dining and dancing for almost 160 members, families and friends of ARC Rutland Area. ARC Rutland Area works with individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to be regarded as valued citizens with the same entitlements as non-disabled individuals. We all enjoyed a tasty and filling pasta dinner, cake for dessert, plenty of beverages, dancing, gifts and great Christmas music from DJ Penguin Productions, as well as a visit from Santa. Yes, Santa reigned the hall with bells a-sounding and hugs abounding. What can replace a smile and a hug from an old friend? Another one! The day was filled with many smiles and hugs from party goers as we greeted each other with the excitement of Christmas worn on our faces. Special thanks must go to Elks Lodge; Pat Farley – Club Manager for some swift work. Carolyn Ravenna; Brian Gaura; Sherry Beaudreau, Marty Wasserman, all Elks kitchen crew; Terry Stevens and Lisa Martel - drink servers; Debbie Wortman and Bette Parker – helped serve dinner and are thanked for their time. A lot of time, energy and care were given to provide our community with this event. The dinner dance is ARC Rutland Area’s largest in terms of people attending. Our thanks also go out to our other Christmas contributors: the General Electric Employees Community Concerns Fund, Vermont Country Store, Rotary Club of Rutland; and the Veno Family who generously donated to form this event into a seasonal success! What a wonderful and giving community the Rutland Area is and what a pleasure it is to be able to extend that level of spirit to so many people in one room. Your kind acts created an enormous amount of joy this holiday season! The Annual Membership Meeting was held prior to the

Christmas dinner, ARC has the board officers filled, a 2018 budget passed and programs set for the New Year. Members filled out impact survey during the afternoon and the summary shows how lives are better off. There is not room to write them all. Here are a few: “I get to meet new people; they have taught me to be more confident; everyone cares about each other; socializing; it makes everyone a little happier; teaching/education they provide; it gives opportunities to be with my peers; it helps our family create a better, more well-rounded life for our disabled son; I get to see my friends and feel like I belong; they listen to me; I see my son’s growth! (and mine).” We need to be sure that people know that ARC Rutland Area serves citizens with Developmental Disabilities and needs to continue receiving funding to do so. It is with much joy, that we say thank you to our Christmas Dinner Dance sponsors and to let the public know that we are here for folks with Developmental Disabilities and their families. The organization offers not only dances, but also a Representative Payee program, a Self Advocacy group, an Aktion Club, and the Rutland Family Support Network; they also provide information and transportation. Help them share the value of the work they do in the betterment of people’s lives; on the survey people also checked off: “more active lifestyle”, “gained knowledge about services available”, and “having fun”. Check out our YouTube video at: http://youtube.com/ watch?v=scg-QRw79LI, visit our website, http://home. myfairpoint. net/~arcrutlandarea or call us at 775-1370. ARC Rutland Area hopes that everyone finds a moment of Peace, an abundance of Love and the true meaning of Joy throughout the New Year! Sincerely, Lisa S. Lynch, Executive Director ARC Rutland Area

Green Mountain donates proceeds from Mitten Tree to Poultney Elementary School On Monday, four members of Green Mountain College’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee delivered a collection of donated goods to the Poultney Elementary School’s principal and team leaders. The items had been taken up in a Mitten Tree drive where local community members adorned the Athletic Department’s Christmas tree with mittens, winter hats, scarves, gloves and other items. The weeklong drive that spanned from December 7-14 was a resounding success as the generous community members of Poultney and the surrounding area donated more than 50 items to the cause. S.A.A.C president Cameron Book and members Chelsea Wimble, Blake Hay and Mercedes Rideout presented Poultney Elementary Principal Kristen Caliguiri and the school’s sixth grade student leaders Courtney

The spirit of the season of giving will hopefully

brighten someone’s holiday. “S.A.A.C. and the GMC athletic department would like to thank all of those community members who contributed so generously to the Mitten Tree,” said Book. “Seeing the entire Poultney and neighboring communities come together for those in need at this time of the year is what makes this such a truly special place to be a part of.”

Forest Service tells snowmobilers to use caution With additional snow expected in the coming weeks, the U.S. Forest Service is looking forward to a successful snowmobile season and wants to encourage all riders to put safety first. Green Mountain National Forest officials are recommending that snowmobilers exercise caution when operating on the National Forest and all lands in Vermont this winter. GMNF officials remind snowmobile enthusiasts to heed to all gates and signs and to stay off roads and trails that are closed. Weather permitting, snowmobile use is allowed on designated trails within the GMNF for four months beginning on Saturday, Dec. 16 and ending on April 15, 2018. “We are concerned about user safety. Patrols which are aimed at enforcing rules and regulations, monitoring trail conditions and providing visitor information will occur throughout the Forest,” said John Sinclair, Forest Supervisor for the Green Mountain and Finger Lakes National Forests. The GMNF will continue to work closely with state and local law enforcement agencies, as well as the Vermont Association of Snow Travelers to make sure that users of the trail system are respectful, responsible, law abiding, and safe.

Dec. 29-31 local musicians will play the presidential family’s Aeolian organ and Steinway Piano. Green Mountain National Forest officials are recommending that snowmobilers exercise caution when operating on the National Forest and all lands in Vermont this winter. The GMNF and VAST cooperate to maintain more than 470 miles of National Forest System trails that are part of the larger statewide snowmobile network. VAST is one of a few snowmobile associations in the United States that has a cooperative partnership agreement with the U.S. Forest Service. “All of these trails allow mixed uses, so people are snowshoeing, hiking and crosscountry skiing, as well as using snowmobiles. Snowmobilers should travel responsibly and yield to other users,” said Sinclair. The maximum speed is 35 miles per hour on state and fed-

Last weekend for holidays at Hildene in Manchester Hildene, The Lincoln Family Home in Manchester, Vermont, has just one weekend left of its holiday festivities. Dec. 29-31 local musicians will play the presidential family’s Aeolian organ and Steinway Piano. This afternoon, from 1-3:30 p.m., local voice coach and performer Joanne Beck will play the Lincolns’ Steinway piano. Beck is also a neurologic music therapist with Health Through Music. Saturday, Christian Thayer will play the Lincolns’ Aeolian organ. He will perform 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thayer began playing when he was 15 years old to support the purchase of his first piano.

For nearly four decades, a visit to Hildene during the holidays has become a tradition for many families, said Paula Maynard, the Hildene’s Group and Press Director.

Upon walking into the mansion, guests will be greeted with candlelit windows, a fresh scent of balsam amidst floral flourishes and satin ribbon – just like presidential son, Robert Lincoln, and wife Mary decorated it more than 100 years ago. The tree has been cut and brought in from the woods, its graceful boughs hung with lovely ornaments and candles. The sounds of Christmas resonate throughout the home from the Lincoln family’s Aeolian player organ and its more than 900 pipes. Hildene is open From 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. Admission is required and is $20 for adults and $5 for children 6 to 14. Members, volunteers and children under 6 are free.

Flu-fighting tips to keep you - and others - healthy Many over-the-counter medicines can alleviate symptoms of the flu, but cannot fend it off.

Sniffles, sore throat, fever, and aches and pains may accompany a number of illnesses, but during the wintertime such symptoms are typically indicative of influenza. Throughout much of North America, flu season peaks between December and February. But flu season can occur anywhere from October to March, advises the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The flu is contagious and can sideline people for extended periods of time. The CDC says that each year one in five Americans gets the flu. Taking steps to fend off the flu can help men and women and the people they routinely come in contact with.

Stop germ proliferation Germs can be spread easily between persons through direct contact and indirect contact with surfaces sick individuals have touched. Doctors recommend staying home for at least 24 hours after a flu-induced fever has dissipated. Well individuals should avoid contact with sick people. Frequent hand-washing with soap and water can stop germs from spreading. When soap and water is not available, alcohol-based hand sanitizers can help. People also should avoid touching their eyes, noses and mouths after being in public places or around someone who is ill.

Foods Food can be used to fend of the flu. Common foods that many people already have in their pantries can be powerful flu-fighters. Garlic, for example, contains compounds that have direct antiviral effects and may help destroy the flu before it affects the body. Raw garlic is best. In addition to garlic, citrus fruits, ginger, yogurt, and dark leafy greens can boost immunity and fight the flu, according to Mother Nature's Network. The British Journal of Nutrition notes that dark chocolate supports T-helper cells, which increase

Rest and restore the immune system's ability to defend against infection. A study published in the American Journal of Therapeutics showed that carnosine, a compound found in chicken soup, can help strengthen the body's immune system and help fight off the flu in its early stages.

Flu shot and medications

Annual flu shots administered in advance of flu season can help protect people and their families from getting the flu. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration says that, in select situations, antiviral medications - which are usually prescribed to treat the flu and lessen symptoms - can reduce the chance of illness in people exposed to influenza.

Those who feel symptoms coming on should begin drinking more liquids to keep the respiratory system hydrated and make mucus less viscous. Remember to get adequate sleep, as a tired body cannot effectively fight the flu virus. People of all ages should take steps to protect themselves from the flu.

3 simple ways to a healthier heart the arterial walls of people with high blood pressure may become stressed and develop weak spots or scarring that makes them vulnerable to the buildup of plaque. Plaque buildup can increase the risk of blood clots and stroke. Blood pressure can rise as a person ages, so managing blood pressure involves routinely checking it and making certain changes, such as eating healthier foods and exercising more often, if it is high.

Heart disease is a formidable foe. According to the American Heart Association, heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States, accounting for approximately 800,000 deaths every year. The Government of Canada notes that heart disease is the second leading cause of death in that country, annually accounting for tens of thousands of deaths. (Note: Canada's population is slightly more than one-tenth the population of the United States.) While heart disease exacts a devastating toll on the United States and Canada, its reach extends far beyond North America, as the American College of Cardiology notes that cardiovascular disease accounts for 31 percent of all deaths across the globe. In spite of the prevalence of heart disease, men and women are not helpless against it. In fact, there are many ways for men and women to reduce their risk for heart disease.

3. Control cholesterol levels.

1. Maintain a healthy weight. The American Heart Association reports that between 60 and 70 percent of Americans are overweight or obese. Carrying around extra weight takes a toll on the body, increasing a person's risk for heart disease and stroke. Overweight or obese men and women can work with their physicians to develop a plan for effective, long-term weight loss, a plan that will likely include a combination of diet and routine exercise.

2. Understand and manage blood

pressure. The AHA notes that high blood pressure, a common condition affecting roughly one in three Americans, is often referred to as "the silent killer" because it does not necessarily produce symptoms. Blood pressure measures the force pushing outward on the walls of blood vessels as they carry blood oxygen to the body's organs, and the force created as the heart rests between beats. Over time,

High levels of low-density lipoprotein, often referred to as "bad" cholesterol, can increase a person's risk for heart disease. The AHA notes that excessive amounts of cholesterol can be deposited into the arteries as plaque. When that happens, it leads to a condition known as atherosclerosis, or a narrowing of the inside of the artery walls. That narrowing leads to an increased risk for heart attack and stroke. Men and women should get their cholesterol levels checked at least once every four to six years beginning at age 20. Men and women who have been diagnosed with high cholesterol should recognize that cholesterol is only found in animal products, so a diet that is rich in fruits, vegetables and whole grains and low in animal products can provide a simple way for men and women to lower their cholesterol. A more thorough and detailed plan to lower cholesterol levels should be discussed with a physician. More information about heart disease and how to combat it can be found at www.heart.org.

Embracing germs: They're not all bad Germs have gotten a somewhat undeserved reputation. For decades, people have done what they can to avoid these unseemly organisms, thinking that exposure to germs is the single-best way to get and remain sick. Certainly there are germs that a person would be wise to avoid. However, not all germs must be avoided. Germs are tiny organisms that can enter the body through open cuts, the mouth, the nose, and the eyes. Germs are found all over the world. The four main types of germs include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and protozoa. Bacteria are a type of germ that often get a bad rap but actually may have benefits that outweigh their negatives.

Germs Continued from page 11 Bacteria are tiny, one-celled creatures that get nutrients from their environments to live. In some instances, that environment is the human body. Bacteria can reproduce inside and outside of the body. While bacteria that cause repeated infections might be considered bad, there actually are a host of good bacteria. Such bacteria help people digest food and protect against gastrointestinal upset, such as diarrhea. Some bacteria may help people fight off illnesses caused by other bacteria or

viruses, says research published in the journal Best Practice & Research Clinical Gastroenterology. Beneficial bacteria may help stimulate the immune system so that the body is better able to fight off diseases naturally. People frequently overlook good bacteria in an effort to eradicate bad bacteria, and that can have serious detriments. Unfortunately, the "antibacterial" products available for cleaning and medicines used for treating bacterial illnesses do not discriminate between good and bad germs. They simply eradicate them all. Heathline says that this can create an imbalance of bacteria in the body that may lead to harmful bacteria taking over. Harmful bacteria also

may evolve to resist common treatments because of the overuse of antibacterial and antimicrobial medicines and products. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that antimicrobial agents have been used for the last 70 years to treat patients with infectious diseases. Although they've helped treat illnesses, these drugs have enabled the organisms they're meant to destroy to adapt to them, making the drugs less effective. Some bacteria are even resistant to certain antibacterial drugs. The CDC says each year in the United States at least two million people become infected with bacteria that are resistant to antibiotics Ñ with at least 23,000 peo-

ple dying as a result of these infections. Various medical sources urge that regular handwashing with plain soap is enough for cleansing. Consuming foods with naturally occurring helpful organisms, such as yogurt, chocolate, feta cheese, pickles, and dark chocolate, can help increase the levels of good bacteria in the body. Taking a probiotic supplement also may help, although researchers at the Cleveland Clinic report that there is not enough proof to say for sure. People should speak with their doctors before taking probiotics or other steps to increase bacteria to make sure they are a wise decision for each individual.

Health sayings and their unique origins Language is shaped by many different influences. Over time, certain phrases become part of the vernacular and are spoken to signify how one acts or feels, including phrases about health and well-being. Some phrases may inspire curiosity as to their origins. The following healthrelated phrases have some interesting backstories.

"Fit as a Fiddle" The phrase "fit as a fiddle" is often used to describe someone who is very healthy and full of energy. But what does fitness have to do with an instrument, anyway? Actually, very little. According to The Phrase Finder, "fit" didn't originally mean healthy. It was actually used to represent the words "suitable and seemly." Therefore, something that is fit as a fiddle would mean it was suitable for its purpose. Now "fit" frequently refers to one's physical shape, and the phrase has evolved.

"Survival of the fittest" Again, the word "fittest" initially did not represent physical strength or wellbeing. Rather, in this phrase, attributed to Herbert Spencer and later to Charles Darwin, fittest referred to those who were best suited to their environment, or more plainly, those who were best

able to survive. Today, it can mean anyone who is able to rise above the odds against them or beat the competition.

"Strong as an ox" The idiom "strong as an ox" has long represented a person who is unusually strong and able to persevere. Because oxen are large beasts of burden that were used instead of horses by American settlers before railroads were created, anyone compared to an ox would have to be someone capable of strong physical labor and ability.

"An apple a day keeps the doctor away" Many believe this phrase to be a helpful rhyming device to remember to eat healthy food to maintain good physical health. However, according to Snopes, the first known version of this proverb comes from Wales in 1866 and stated, "eat an apple on going to bed, and you'll keep the doctor from earning his bread." Other sources trace the phrase to ancient Rome. Apples can have many health benefits, but no research has confirmed that eating an apple daily will safeguard individuals from any particular illness. A 2015 study published in JAMA Internal Medicine did find that people who ate an apple required fewer prescription medications than those who did not.

Fill the Bus campaign sets new high for donations Green Mountain College students, faculty and staff joined forces once again with the local community to take part in what has become an annual event held this year on Nov. 17. Organized by GMC’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee and SAAC president Cameron Book, participants came together for the third year in a row to “Fill the Bus”. The Fill the Bus campaign was an initiative started by Book in 2015 which was met with great success. The purpose of the community effort was to collect as many non-perishable food items as possible to benefit the Poultney Food Shelf which serves residents of Poultney, Middletown Springs, and Hampton, New York.

More than 350 pounds of food was donated during this year’s Fill the Bus campaign. In contrast to previous years, Book designated just one Friday this year to park his own vintage, blue 1972 Volkswagen Bus outside of the Poultney Shaw’s grocery store to take donations for the cause. Over the one-day period, community members donated more than 350 pounds of food

which came at the perfect time with Christmas just around the corner. This year’s donation was the largest collection effort to date surpassing last year’s mark of 320 pounds of food. With the contributions from the Fill the Bus campaign the organization hopes to be able to replenish the food stores in preparation for Christmas time.

1 in 100,000 Orthopaedic Event Takes Coordinated Care “After a fall in my home, I left town to attend a wedding in Minnesota. A few days later, I realized it was more than a bruise and I had totally shattered my hip replacement. I trusted my Doctor, Eric Marsh from Vermont Orthopaedic Clinic enough that I decided to come home and be treated. Everything went very smoothly – from the surgery to recovery with physical and occupational therapy. We are fortunate to have a facility like Rutland Regional Medical Center right in our community. It has allowed me to regain my strength and get back to the activities I enjoy.”

Rotary Club to host Trivia Competition The Granville Rotary Club will host its popular Trivia Competition on Saturday, Jan. 20 at the Granville Hook & Ladder Fire Company on Quaker St., Granville. The doors open at 6 p.m. and play begins at 7 p.m. The event pits teams of six players against each other attempting to answer trivia questions. There are five rounds of questions. The cost to enter is $150 per team. The cost for spectators is $15. Registration must be completed by January 10. Entry Forms are available at The Sentinel office at 14 East Main St. in Granville or from any Rotarian. Prizes will be awarded to each of the six players on the winning team. They also get a free entry to the following year’s Trivia Night competition. This keen competition has been a big hit in recent years, drawing many teams and offering a night of enjoyment and laughter. Hook & Ladder will be selling hot dogs and hamburgers. Sodas, coffee, beer, and wine will also be available for purchase. Complimentary snacks and desserts will be provided during the competition. Funds raised from Trivia Night support Rotary’s community service projects. For more details, contact Dave O’Brien at 518-866-1022 or Steve Williams at 802-645-9529.
