The swamp, the shrine and the shore By Pamela Hayes Rehlen It’s not good news to learn that the Florida resort hotel where we’ve vacationed for forty years has been sold. The white and aqua guest-room buildings; the cool, shadowy, Casablanca-atmosphere lobby; the sun-dappled dining terrace; the raucous poolside bar . . . Because they occupy the last, prime, underdeveloped 129 acres on Florida’s Gulf Coast, all this will soon be flattened, and our beloved hotel will be turned into mountains of industrial rub-
Residents and businesses in Poultney, Vermont are gearing up for their annual townwide yard sale on Saturday, June 1 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m., rain or shine. The event, one of two town-wide yard sales that Poultney puts on every year, is a perennial favorite. People are drawn to the Main event from all over Street to Vermont and eastern New York, said Nina Corbin, feature secretary of the Poultney more than Area Chamber of Commerce. “I’ve even seen 70 cars from New Hampshire vendors and Connecticut,” she said. “It’s busy and packed,” said Corbin. She estimates at least a thousand people attend the one-day sale. Perhaps some of the appeal stems from the fact that the event is not just another townwide yard sale. Said Corbin: “Residents have great yard sales throughout town, of course, and then on Main Street there are all kinds of vendors, jewelry, baked goods, children’s clothes, crafts,

Free Continued from front page Vermont Days is held each June to celebrate the arrival of summer. The Vermont State Parks have hosted the event for two decades. “The day is a great opportunity for people to recreate outside with their friends and family and do it free of charge,” said Reuben Allen, parks regional manager for southwestern Vermont. “Vermont Days attract some first-time park visitors who want to get out and see what the parks have to offer,” he said.
vendor wants to reserve a site for both the spring and fall sales. Each site is 15 feet wide and has a depth extending from the street to the sidewalk. At least 75 vendors have reserved space along Main Street with more certain to register before Saturday. “We’ll be taking applications until Friday,” said Corbin, “and they’re filling up quickly.” Interested vendors should stop by the Original Vermont Store on Main Street for an
application, said Corbin. Vendors will set up beginning at 7 a.m. and close by 4 p.m. Poultney businesses also will have special sales during the event. “The sale has been going on at least since I’ve been in town, and I’ve been here for 23 years,” said Corbin. “We’re proud of our yard sale and encourage everyone to come and buy some great stuff.”
ies, puzzles and games. There will be great bargains on fiction, biographies, history, nature, children’s books and more. For more information, contact the library at 802-235-
2435 or email middletownspringslibrary@gmail. com. Middletown Springs Historical Society is located at 4 Park Ave., Middletown Springs, Vermont.
“And the weekend also attracts a lot of repeat visitors who can go to their favorite park for free or try out one they’ve never visited before.” Last year, more than 20,000 people participated in the statewide event. Allen said that people visit the parks for a variety of reasons: “Some might want to hike, others will enjoy the opportunity of Free Fishing Day on June 8 and others might just want to hang out and read a book by the water.” On Free Fishing Day, in-state and out-of-state residents can fish at any Fish & Wildlife access point without having a Vermont state fishing license.
During Vermont Days, in addition to free admission to the state’s parks, historic sites and Free Fishing Day, visitors and residents will have free admission on June 8 to the Vermont History Museum in Montpelier and the Vermont History Center in Barre. Vermont Days weekend is also the first weekend that many of the state park’s interpreters will be on staff. “The interpreters at Lake Bomoseen, Lake St. Catherine, Emerald Lake and Branbury Lake each will have special events scheduled for the weekend,” said Allen. “It’s a great weekend to come out and see what the parks have to offer,” he said.

The Lakes Region FreePress - Friday, May 31, 2019 - 3
Swamp Continued from front page ble, carted away, with Ritz Carlton condominiums to take its place. But until it happens, we do as we always do. My husband and I travel down to third-floor Room 362 with its view of the Gulf and its steady soft breezes and the nightly wash of ocean breakers. During this last visit there are three tiny events that will stay in my memory.
The Swamp
It’s true. Every home in Pawlet gets the FreePress delivered to their home every Friday.
We go to Mass on Saint Patrick’s Day. When we arrive, there’s a haunting prelude being sung by a giant choir. My husband seems preoccupied and after Mass hurries off to question an usher. When I see him again, he tells me that the appropriately Saint-Patrickian prelude was something called “Our Lady of Knock.” He can’t get enough of it, and we look it up, play it on his cell phone and read about Knock, which turns out to be a Marian Shrine in Ireland. Next morning, Brigid Eagan, our longtime hotel waitress pal, asks us what we’ve been up to, and my husband is full of “Our Lady of Knock.” We think of it as a magical, distant-land place, something out of Tolkien. “Isn’t this just great?” we ask Brigid, showing her a cell phone picture. “Oh yeah, Knock,” she says. “I used to ride past that place every morning on the school bus from Tipperary.” Then she asks if we want the breakfast special.
The Shore Guests at our hotel spend the day sun bathing and devising novel ways to be in the water. This year my husband, who’s up for anything, decides that he’s going to try out a paddleboard. I realize that this is happening only when the life-
I know exactly how old my husband is, and that not seeming very relevant, glare at the do-gooder, then go down and take things in hand. I return to my paper, but eventually look up and, jolted, see a tiny figure, a distant speck on the horizon. It doesn’t seem possible that my husband can have gotten so far out into the Gulf of Mexico. He’s never been on a paddleboard before. He could be, and probably is, in the shipping lane of giant tankers. A crowd gathers around me. “What’s that guy doing?” they ask. “Is that the old guy? How did he get out way out there? Is he safe?” I run down the beach, my arms windmilling a frantic message. Behind me the crowd grows bigger. Finally, to a group sigh, the tiny dot turns and starts back. Later, in Room 362, there are bitter recriminations. These are the things – and I realize they aren’t big things – I’m going to think back to, and laugh about, when our Florida hotel is gone, reduced to reminiscences and a pile of rubble. Pamela Hayes Rehlen has published stories, articles, magazine features and two books: The Blue Cat and the River’s Song and The Vanished Landmarks Game – Vermont Stories from West of Birdseye, both available at the Castleton Village Store. “IT’S NOT WHAT WE DO, IT’S HOW WE DO IT” NEW & USED PARTS • HYDRAULIC HOSES U-BOLTS • TIRES • 24 HOUR SERVICE 724 Morse Hollow Road Poultney, VT 05764

guard materializes next to our beach chairs with a paddleboard setup. Soon the paddleboard is in the water, but while my husband goes to clarify an instruction it’s temporarily abandoned and might have floated away,Professional & until it’s grabbed by a frantic Quality Care do-gooder shouting, “I don’t know how old that guy is. This Patty Bush, President is his board.”

Very early one morning, we leave the hotel and pause at the entrance to US Route 41, the Tamiami Trail, where heavy traffic is flashing past. It’s a forty-five minute drive on gigantic swaths of pale, sunbaked concrete to Oskala Swamp Road – with tomato fields stretching to the horizon on either side of us dotted with tiny figures, agricultural workers looking like the gleaners in 19th-century paintings. We’re en route to the Audubon Corkscrew Swamp Sanctuary and its three miles of deep-swamp boardwalk. Early as we are, with ghostly fingers of night mist still curling at the base of the saw palmettos, birding aficionados are here before us. Cool early sun lights up a panoramic sea of grass, and then the boardwalk twists away from the savanna into swamp dimness. The sanctuary holds some of the Everglades last giant cypresses, but they don’t appear until well along the trail. About two miles in, my husband gives me a tremendous shove away and turns back to jackknife over the boardwalk railing and close-photograph something below us. Excited birders with every kind of photographic accessory materialize, push past me and race to join my husband. “What was that? What was going on back there?” I ask later when we’ve moved on to a pool covered with aquatic lettuce, shadowy alligator forms lurking just under its surface. Alligators don’t bother me, but I’m terrified of snakes. My husband tells me it was an enormous cottonmouth curled around a cypress hummock.

Composting 101 in Pawlet June 1 and 8 Nell McGuire featured artist Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning will welcome Matt Proft who will lead a two-part workshop on the basics of composting on two Saturdays, June 1 and 8, from 9 to 11 a.m. at Proft’s residence in Pawlet. Participants will learn the techniques of backyard compost- Matt Proft ing. Composting yields many benefits, from reducing landfill waste to adding nutrients to the soil. In the first session, the focus will be on teaching participants how to compost. Starting in the kitchen and following organic
scraps all the way to the garden, the dos and don’ts, ingredients that work well, and troubleshooting will be covered. Participants also will learn about oxygen, water and a balanced diet, three key elements for survival. In the second session, the focus will be on infrastructures and techniques for successful household composting. Everyone’s situation is unique, so participants will explore different structures to accommodate a wide range of backyard environments and budgets, from homemade to

at Dorset library during June Dorset Village Public Library will feature artist Nell McGuire during the month of June.

To support the library, visitors will be invited to make a purchase offer on any piece of art, with 30 percent of the price to go directly to the library. There will be no fixed prices.

As a self-taught artist, she has benefited from the advice of many artists and teachers over the years. The library reminds visitors about its ongoing book sale: $5 bag or box. Those preferring to purchase individual items, will pay $1 or less, and the sale also features a free section.

‘Walk This Way’ in Manchester June 5 Manchester Community Library will present costume and textile historian Edward Maeder in a program entitled “Walk This Way: Footwear from the Stuart Weitzman Collection of Historic Shoes” on Wednesday, June 5, at 7 p.m. at the library. Sharing exceptional historic examples from the shoe designer’s extensive private collection, Maeder will explore the evolution of women’s footwear in parallel with changes in women’s lives. This illustrated talk launches the library’s 2019 Summer Wednesdays series. Famous for his trademark use of unique materials and
his creation of one-of-a-kind “million dollar” shoes for Oscar nominees, American designer Stuart Weitzman’s personal collection of antique shoes was amassed over three decades. Edward Maeder is a leading costume and textile historian and curator and the founding director of the Bata Shoe Museum in Toronto. He has held curatorial positions at the Fashion Institute of Technology, New York, and the Los Angeles County Museum of Art. Maeder curated shoe designer Stuart Weitzman’s personal collection of historic footwear
for an exhibit by the New York Historical Society called “Walk This Way,” which ran from April to October 2018, and he wrote a book complementing the exhibit that was published by the historical society. Northshire Bookstore will be on site to sell copies of Maeder’s book, which is lavishly illustrated with over 180 illustrations. This presentation is free and open to the public. For more information, call the library at 802-362-2607. Manchester Community Library is located at 138 Cemetery Ave., Manchester Center, Vermont.

He will then explore how the international community, particularly the U.S. government, has handled the pressing issue. Based upon this historical analysis, he will present his

The talk will be followed by a tour of the Scottsville Cemetery, beginning with monuments from the Gilded Age, exemplified by the size of the Bond block of marble and the size of the Silas L. Griffith
monument. Next will be an examination of “mid-century modern” monuments, of which the Belden monument with its almost Frank Lloyd Wright look is a good example. The tour will end with the evolution of modern engraving in which actual photographic portraits can be emblazoned in granite, and images of people’s interests and hobbies can be carved in stone with color.

Castleton First Responders in Castleton, Vermont, like many emergency agencies nationwide, is seeing a steadfast decline in volunteers. “Right now, there is such a national shortage of people being involved in emergency medical services,” said Walter Ducharme, the unit’s field chief. Castleton First Responders is a first response agency. Its members attend to nearly 500 calls each year. They use their own vehicles and are equipped with medical equipment bags to help them assist and stabilize patients . “We respond directly from our houses,” Ducharme said. Patients are then transported to area medical centers by Regional Ambulance Service Inc. Ducharme said the lack of volunteers has begun to impact the number of calls to which his agency is able to respond. “Unfortunately, with the short staff, we are not able to meet every call,” he said, “… but the ambulance is because it is a paid service.” Ducharme noted that Castleton is not the only medical agency that is struggling with attracting volunteers. “Poultney is hurting, Fair Haven is hurting,” he said. This happens everywhere.” Several Ambulance services in the northern part of the state have already shut down. In the fall , there will be an emergency medical technician class offered. That course in six months long. Those interested in signing up for one of the courses should contact Ducharme at 802-468-5781. Fees for courses vary, depend-

Ducharme is the last original member of Castleton First Response. He started in 1992. “Helping others,” he said, is the main reason why he continues to volunteer.
“It’s worthwhile because you are helping your neighbors,” Ducharme said. “To help somebody when they are sick and injured, to know that you were there to help… that’s why.”

Fair Haven Rescue Squad Squad continues caring for community “Caring for Our Community” is the Fair Haven Rescue Squad’s motto. Its mission statement exemplifies this motto, as the squad strives to provide the best care to the communities it serves. This squad, housed in a facility at 17 Prospect Street in Fair Haven, provides 24/7 advanced level emergency ambulance service to not only Fair Haven but also Benson, Hubbardton, West Haven, Vermont, and Hampton, New York. The surrounding rural areas benefit due to the closeness of the responders, which affords a more positive outcome in case of emergencies. “Call volume is down this year to around 500 from last year’s 900 because of the difficulty in finding new EMTs,” said Tyler Hock, the new squad administrator appointed last August. The shortcoming of any squad is the ability to attract new members. There is a nationwide shortage, and many of the rural squads are feeling it. “For the first time in over 20 years, we had to raise our per-capita rate to help the squad financially, “ said Hock. “I am

Granville Rescue Squad Continuing a tradition of excellence
Members of the Granville Rescue Squad. The Granville Rescue Squad has spent more than half a century saving lives in the Lakes Region. The squad was founded in 1967, as a demand for emergency medical transport emerged across the country. “The charter members used an early ambulance, housed in a member’s garage, to transport trauma victims to the local Granville hospital,” said Michael Zinn, assistant captain. These days, the squad owns and operates four advanced life-support ambulances and one basic life-support ambulance with the newest and most advanced equipment necessary to allow the rescuers to efficiently do their job. Squad equipment includes cardiac monitors, respiration assistance equipment, bleeding control equipment, personal protective equipment for the rescuers, immobilization equipment, medications and communications equipment. Granville Rescue Squad also operates a Scene Support Unit, designed to hold equipment and act as a mobile communication center for large incidents. The squad purchased a bariatric stretcher for larger patients to ease rescuer and patient strain. “We also have an Argo ATV, rescue sled and ATV in our arsenal for our not-soeasy-to-get-to patients,” said Zinn. The majority of the squad’s 39 members are volunteers who donate their time to assist others in need. A paid staff of 10 EMT-trained individuals helps man the station to assist when the volunteers are not available. “In the past year, two of our mem-
bers have successfully completed a community paramedicine program conducted through Washington County Public Health and the local doctor’s office,” said Zinn. “The program allows them to conduct home visits to help with discharge instructions as well as medication administration.” Together the volunteers and staff do their best on every emergency to ensure that each patient receives high-quality field care as fast as possible. The squad handles about 1,900 emergency calls every year, ranging from general sickness to severe cardiac emergencies, and from broken bones to major trauma. “Our district includes not only the town and village of Granville, but stretches to Hebron and into the Vermont towns of Rupert, Pawlet, Wells and Danby,” said Zinn. And because the coverage area is so large and the call volume so high, many members equip their vehicles with lifesaving equipment to assist those in need before the ambulance arrives. Each spring, the Granville Rescue Squad hosts an open house during which it offers tours, demonstrations, a pancake breakfast and other activities. Zinn said the open house, which usually draws about 200 people, is a good way for first responders to get to know the community and for the community to get to know the first responders – and perhaps entice some to volunteer. At the event, squad members exhib-

it life-saving equipment with demonstrations and offer building and ambulance tours. “We try to have one piece of all of the equipment that we have out,” Zinn said. “Membership is holding steady, however, like all other organizations we are in need of more people to join our team,” Zinn said. The squad is always looking for mature members, 16 years or older, who have a drive to help in their community, Those interested must have a clean driver’s license and complete a background check. “We are in need of drivers and those who wish to further their education and become patient care providers at the EMT, AEMT or Paramedic level,” said Zinn. All new members complete an in-house training program when they join, including a driver training program as well as basic use of the equipment. Zinn said he is a member of the Granville Rescue Squad because he enjoys “being able to help people in our community.” The Granville Rescue Squad has spent 52 years saving lives in the region. The squad always accepts donations, which can be sent to PO Box 153, Granville, NY 12832. For more information, call the squad at 518-642-1830. It is located at 64 E. Potter Ave. Anyone interested in joining may stop by the building to pick up an application or email michaelzinn@ hotmail.com for more information.

Middletown Springs First Response
Carl Haynes, President
Squad down to four members, more wanted Middletown Springs First Response volunteers work hand-in-hand with their parent organization Poultney Rescue Squad, Inc. First Response’s mission is to serve the emergency health needs of the residents of Middletown Springs. After expedient first aid, assessment, and evaluation, the patient is transported by the Poultney Rescue Squad. Both teams are equally trained with the only difference being that Middletown Springs does not transport. Currently, the squad has four active members. It used to have a roster with more than 140 years of experience, and at one time collectively started in 1980 with 31 plus members over a course of 39 years. “The availability of members is limited since most are working out of town and not always available,” said Carl Haynes, a veteran of 39 years. “Volume of calls is down, membership is down; and with diminished membership, we only covered 30 calls.” There was nothing out of the ordinary and nothing too drastic with the type of calls, but Middletown was not exempt from the rise of incidents related to the increase of drug use. As any volunteer outfit, Middletown Springs is in dire need of new recruits. “It’s not just small towns. It’s everywhere,” said Haynes. “We have calls that you don’t know where the ambulance will come from to transport,” he added. “The whole EMS is hurting for volunteers and employees. It’s not a high-paying position and can be

Training takes about six months with requirements of 40 credits every two years for EMT and first responder 24 credits, which takes place at the Poultney facility. Maintaining a high level of training is always ongoing
to keep skills up to date. With the onset of training, all Middletown Springs members automatically become part of the Poultney Rescue Squad. Dedication is hard to come by, but Haynes and others are doing what they can to help others. You can too! Join Middletown Springs First Response

What many may not know is that the majority of calls the fire company receives are EMS-related. “I’d say probably 70-plus percent are First Response-related,” said Brooks. Responders never know what sort of calls will come in and need to be prepared for any eventuality, ranging from the mundane to the deathly serious. “It can be anything from a general illness call to cardiac arrest or an over-

dose,” Brooks said. First Responders carry a varying degree of certifications, ranging from EMT to CPR/AED. Brooks said the prior difference is those who are EMT-certified will administer “immediate patient care” while others provide scene support. Both agencies are always looking for more members, with First Responders seeking additional EMT-certified personnel.

Whitehall Continued from page 8 Amy Michaud. Skenesborough is predominately manned by volunteers, with some paid members. Unlike the fire company, Skenesborough does not receive any funding from the village or town of Whitehall but is instead entirely funded through insurance payments and donations. “The money we do get pays for the staff, keeps the building services and vehicles running,” said Michaud. As is the case with most small-town volunteer organizations, Skenesborough

is always on the lookout for volunteers. Michaud pointed out that volunteers are asked to serve only 12 hours every three months. “That’s not a lot of hours,” she said. For this year, the squad is eyeing a new ambulance purchase. The squad has three ambulances in its fleet. To finance the purchase, Michaud said, the squad will trade in two of its older model ambulances in favor of one newer model. “We’re looking at probably $150,000,” she said of the purchase. Squad members never know what the next call is going to be and need to be prepared for any eventuality. Skenesborough regularly transports patients to Glens Falls Hospital and Rutland Regional Medical Center in

Vermont. “We get calls from a bee sting, general illness to full arrest, car accidents… you never know what you’re going to get,” said Michaud. The squad will host two coin drops this year, its annual drop scheduled for Memorial Day weekend in May and a second drop to “defray the cost of the new ambulance,” which hasn’t been scheduled yet. Skenesborough EMS meets the first Tuesday of every month at 6 p.m. in the Skenesborough EMS squad building at 37 Skenesborough Drive in Whitehall. Anyone interested in becoming a member can swing by during a meeting, contact a squad member, message the organization on Facebook or call the squad at 518-499-2122.

Training, recruiting are priorities Poultney Rescue Squad, Inc., a volunteer agency, is located on Vermont Route 30 and consists of two full-time employees, two part-time employees, two per-diem employees, and seven volunteer members. There are also three drivers in training. The squad responded to 508 calls in 2018. Due to the ever-increasing call volume, paid staff covers seven days a week from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m., and volunteer members cover from 6 p.m. to 8 a.m. Poultney Rescue Squad continues to decline in volunteers, partially because of the time commitment involved in becoming an EMT. The courses are offered once a year in District 10 and require 140 hours of classroom learning. Besides the classroom learning, it is an eight-month commitment, twice a week. After the classroom course completion, participants are required to pass a series of rigorous, practical skills stations before they take the NREMT computer test. From start to finish, it takes about a year to go through the courses and train to a certain competency level to operate as an EMT. If there is enough interest, Poultney Rescue Squad is look-

Pool safety starts with prevention Pools make some backyards the places to be in late spring and throughout summer. Lazy summer afternoons are a lot more enjoyable when they’re spent in or alongside a pool, and kids tend to say “I’m bored” with considerably less frequency when a pool is within armÕs reach. Pools are certainly fun, but theyÕre only as fun as they are safe. According to the USA Swimming Foundation, between Memorial Day and Labor Day in 2018, at least 148 children younger than age 15 fatally drowned in swimming pools or spas. While those figures represented a 9 percent decline from the year prior, 148 deaths is still 148 lives lost too early. Pool safety need not come at the expense of summer fun. In fact, homeowners can employ various preventive measures to reduce the risk of pool-related accidents on their properties. n Inspect gates around your pool. The International Code Council¨, a member-focused association dedicated to the construction of safe, sustainable, affordable, and resilient structures, advises homeowners to inspect all pedestrian gates in the barrier fences around their pools. Such gates should be self-closing and self-latching, as both

er fences or safety covers. n Install automatic or manually operated pool covers. Pool covers can effectively prevent access to pools, spas or hot tubs. At the end of each pool session, cover the pool, even during the height of summer when pools are used daily. The minor task of covering the pool is worth the considerably lower risk of accident or injury if pools remain uncovered. Summer afternoons at the pool can be made much safer by adhering to a few safety tips.
THANK YOU! Drowning is the leading cause of unintentional death in children ages 1 - 4. features ensure gates are always closed. In addition, the ICC recommends padlocking other gates around the property. n Remove objects around pedestrian gates. Kids can climb up on chairs, tables, large toys, and other objects left around pool gates to gain access to pools even when their parents

aren’t looking or even home. Such items should be removed. n Install a pool alarm. Pool alarms can alert homeowners to accidental or unauthorized entrance into the water. The ICC recommends installing such alarms while noting that they should not be considered a substitute for barri-

The warning signs of stroke A stroke happens about every 40 seconds. Each year, about 795,000 Americans have a stroke. Do you know the warning signs? If you do have stroke warning signs, this means your brain isn’t getting the blood it needs. Damage may be temporary or permanent. For example, you might lose the ability to speak, but recover it with time. You might have partial or complete weakness, for example, in the use of an arm or leg. The important thing is what you do

What to Do if You Have Symptoms of Stroke
in the heart from an irregular heartbeat called atrial fibrillation. It then travels to a place where it blocks an artery supplying the brain. A hemorrhagic stroke happens when a weakened blood vessel ruptures and bleeds into the brain. This can also happen for a variety of reasons.
Remember that a stroke is a medical emergency. Sometimes it is even called a brain attack. Don’t ignore stroke warning signs – even if you have just one warning sign or if symptoms are mild or go away. Don’t wait! Every minute counts. Call 911 or emergency medical services (EMS) if you have one or more symptoms for more than a few minutes. An ambulance can get you to a hospital without delay. Check the time when symptoms begin. This is important information

What if you’re with someone else who might be having stroke symptoms but you’re not sure? Take charge and call 911. Some people may deny that there is a serious problem. They don’t want others to make a fuss. Or they might ask, “What’s the big rush?” It may help to remember this: What’s the worst thing that can happen if this isn’t a stroke? An unnecessary trip to the hospital. But what’s the worst thing that can happen if you ignore the problem and it turns out to be a stroke? The result could be much worse.

Take action with these tips today or as soon as possible: Ask a doctor or nurse which hospitals in your area are primary stroke centers with 24-hour emergency stroke care. They are best equipped to care for people who have strokes. You may be able to find stroke care centers online, too. Find out which hospital or medical facility is closest to your home or work.

VNA & Hospice of the Southwest Region employee awards announced VNA and Hospice of the Southwest Region (VNAHSR) held its annual employee recognition dinner honoring staff for their many years of service and outstanding commitment to the agency’s mission. Employees were celebrated for reaching milestone years of service. The evening also highlighted employees for specific awards, including Employee of the Year, Unforgettable Employee and HEALTH Matters award winners. This year 37 employees were celebrated for reaching milestone years of service, including quality improvement specialist Sandy Eddy for 45 years of service. A highlight of the evening was the special recognition awards presented to eight individuals devoted to excellence in their work. Billing system specialist Donna Chapin was named VNAHSR’s Employee of the Year, and Betsy Tolliver was awarded the Unforgettable
Employee Award. Margaret Burnor, Sarah Thabet, Darian Fagan, Audrey Kowalski, Cathryn (Cat) Blanchard and Alexandra (Alex) Sands were honored as the HEALTH Matters award winners. The Employee of the Year Award recognizes an employee whose work exemplifies the values of respect and dignity of the individual, excellence, honesty and fairness, stewardship of resources and teamwork. Earning the award this year was Donna Chapin, a 36-year employee. In her nominations for Employee of the Year, Donna was noted as exemplifying the work ethic of the agency: “Donna is extremely hardworking and kind, patient and always willing to help anyone with any task. Donna gives her heart and soul to VNA.” The HEALTH Matters awards are selected from an agency-wide recognition program. Award recipients exem-
plify the core values of honesty, excellence, accountability, leadership, teamwork and helpfulness. Harry Snyder, director of human resources, presented gifts of appreciation to longtime employees and announced the winners. The celebration is held each May during the organization’s week-long celebration to recognize employees for years of service and for outstanding performance. “The dedication and patientfocused commitment shown by our employees is an inspiration. All of our employees, no matter where they work in the organization, have the opportunity to have a positive impact on the care we provide our patients,” said Ron Cioffi, CEO of VNAHSR. “We are honored that each of them, especially those honored at our recognition dinner, joins us in our mission and commitment to the health of our communities.”
Drop off bottles and cans and save animals Thanks to the generosity of volunteers from General Electric and four handy Rutland County Humane Society volunteers, the society now has a dry and secure shed where supporters can drop off redeemable cans and bottles.
The shed is located at the back of the shelter on Stevens Road in Pittsford. If it is more convenient, bottles and cans can also be dropped off at Green Mountain Bottle Redemption in the Howe Center in Rutland. Just let the
staff there know that the redeemables are intended for RCHS. For more information, call the society at 802-483-6700. Rutland County Humane Society is located at 765 Stevens Rd., Pittsford, Vermont.
