Transcript
Reading the headlinesone surely reaches the con-clusion that war is human na-ture, it is at hopelesslyepidemic levels and gettingworse. We have become ac-customed to seeing so manypictures of the ravages of warthat I wonder if we haven’t be-come a bit numb to the actualsuffering of soldiers and civil-ians. Many believe that war istoo profitable for some busi-nesses to stop supporting,and helps keep certain gov-ernments and politicians inpower, however there are anincreasing number of peoplein America and worldwide whodisagree with this premise andare taking steps to change it.
Each Memorial Day wegather as a nation to honorand pay our deepest respectsto those who made thesupreme sacrifice so that wecan freely live our lives ac-cording to our beliefs. We
also honor those who returnedhome, many seriouslywounded in body and spirit,for they too deserve no lessthan our gratitude and re-spect.
War not only bankruptscountries, but ravages fami-lies, neighborhoods, and indi-viduals as well. My father wasstationed on a Navy subma-rine in the South Pacific duringWorld War II. My mother, whowas pregnant with me, toldme later that not having heardfrom him for months at a time,the family never knew if hewas dead or alive.
I was a college studentduring the Vietnam era, manyof my youthful friends eitherdidn’t come back or cameback so broken they werehardly recognizable, and whopaid a very high price for apolitician’s war. Today, whilewe are engulfed in MiddleEast conflicts, it is interesting
to note that our last legally de-clared war was WWII.
SOLdiERS FOR PEaCEThere is currently a movie
called “Soldiers for Peace,”narrated by Michael Douglas,Bishop Desmond Tutu andothers that crosses culturalbarriers in Africa, helpingeveryone understand that warand peace are not something“others do,” but something inwhich we are all participants.A group of religious leaders inNigeria was able to persuadeChristians and Muslims tosign a pact allowing each sideto practice their religion andlifestyles safely and openly.
Despite what we see andhear through many selectivemedia choices, our own Amer-ican soldiers are a greatsource of pride in the quest forthe kind of peace that will allowfuture generations to live with-out the constant threat of war.
The media doesn’t hesi-tate to show us bloodlettingatrocities complete with hyper-bolic commentary, but rarelyshows American soldiers inwar torn countries like Iraq orAfghanistan playing and inter-acting with village children,helping build villages, helpingpeople with water and foodsupplies, and sometimesbeing mediators between vil-lagers and warring tribes.
These soldiers serve ourcountry not only by renderingthe enemy as impotent aspossible, but also, more im-portantly, by attempting to pro-mote understanding betweentwo very different and distinctcultures, because they see itas “part of the job.”
Back home in America,former warriors are activelyengaged in their communities,and by example, teaching ushow to become partners in
peace and prosperity throughmutual cooperation, commu-nity involvement and educa-tion, rather than greedy,unprincipled adversaries fight-ing each other and thoseseemingly endless wars.
Their experiences ledthem to the profound under-standing that peace cannot beattained with guns, nuclearweapons or political manipu-lation, and it is this under-standing they constantly try toimpart to the rest of us.
These service people,along with those who fell inbattle, are our nation’s unsungheroes, who also deserve tobe honored each MemorialDay, and who in their veryspecial way, help honor thosewho came home broken ornever came home at all, andwho help dry the tears ofthose families who lost pre-cious loved ones in battle.

On May 7, 2012 Gover-nor Shumlin signed bill S126Into law giving full State ofVermont Recognition to theKoasek Abenaki Nation lo-cated in Newbury, Vermontand Haverhill, New Hamp-shire. “It has been a long trailof tears and hard work thathas spanned over twentyyears of my life,” stated ChiefNancy Millette Doucet. “Tearsare what make the peoplestrong,” noted Trudy Parker,Tribal Elder and author ofAunt Sarah. “Now we canpass on to the children pridein who they are and they willkeep our heritage alive!”Chief Millette Doucet lookedat Governor Shumlin after hesigned the bill and asked“this time it is real? This timeit will not be taken awayagain?” Governor Shumlinhugged her and said, “thistime it is forever and it isreal!” The audience thatspanned across the frontlawn of the capital thunderedwith applause.
Governor Shumlin statedin his family they were not al-lowed to say in public thatthey were Abenaki or Indian.Recognition was a move-ment he stood strong on see-ing established for years as aSenator and on May 7th hetook great pride in signing thebills into law which now rec-ognized four Abenaki Tribesin Vermont. Nulhegan
Coosuk, in Newport / DerbyLine area, El NU in SouthernVermont (they were grantedrecognition last year) andnow Koasek of the Koas inNewbury and Haverhill aswell as Missisquoi St FrancisSokoki in Swanton, Vermont.The four Tribes are com-monly known as the “Abenaki Alliance” after theysigned unity agreements afew years ago.
The Recognition applica-tion was designed to insurethat each tribe applying forrecognition proved without adoubt to be Abenaki. Years ofresearch with Archeologists,Anthropologists, documentsbacking up genealogy andoral history, ancient mapsand records right up to pres-ent time spanning in somecases over 300years provedthe criteria set by the Statethat each of the four tribeswere differently factual andworthy of State Recognition.The Koasek Tribe includedalso DNA Tests that weredone with the Spencer WellsNational Geographic Familystudy that works with Indige-nous People worldwide.
“We have about 100 fam-ilies in this area who are citi-zens of the Koasek of theKoas Abenaki Nation,” statedChief Millette Doucet.” Thesefamilies have been here wellover 300 years and are welldocumented with genealogy
completed as well as familyhistory, oral traditions and insome cases carrying on tra-ditional methods of living thatset the Abenaki apart fromothers.” Genealogy alongwith all the historic documen-tation was scrutinized by apanel of scholars, the Ver-mont Commission on NativeAmerican Affairs, the Senateand the General House com-mittee before it was signedby the Governor.
Chief Nancy MilletteDoucet has worked tirelesslyfor over 20 years gatheringdocumentation and proof ofthe rich history of her peoplein Newbury and Haverhill.She started working withChief Homer St Francis onthe long road to recognitionin 1993 and has neverstopped. The Koasek Tribehas proven without a doubtthere has been a workingtribal community in this areathrough out time. “ Somepeople have claimed that we
are a new found tribe,” ex-plained Chief Millette Doucet,“ When actually we have al-ways been well centered andknown. A few years ago weheld out a hand to anothergroup based in MA to join us.We soon found out that thereis a huge difference betweenthe culture here in the Koasthen with others and weturned our backs and closedthe door. The Koasek cultureis a unique heritage and cul-tural difference to others.”
What recognition doesfor the Koasek People goesway beyond allowing the artsand crafters to use AU-THENIC identity which ismandatory by Federal Artsand Crafts Laws on theirAbenaki Made crafts but it in-stills a great pride that at lastthey are real. Recognition
also entitles schools thathave Abenaki children toapply for Title VII, children inthe foster care programs canbe protected by the IndianChild Welfare Act, MinorityGrants and Scholarships forcollege and other federal pro-grams. It is not the same asFederal Recognition whichwould include land claims butthe Abenaki of the Koas wasnot interested in land claimsor a casino or any othergrandiose venture. “We sim-ply wanted to have pride andproof we are who we say weare. We simply wanted abetter life and to give our chil-dren the rights they deserve”,stated Chief Millette Doucet.“ It has been a long journeybut at last we are NAWHILA!HOME!

PEACHAM, VERMONT – In commemoration of 150th anniversary of the Civil War,the Peacham Historical Asso-ciation recently published “AVermont Hill Town in the CivilWar: Peacham’s Story” editedby Jutta R. Scott and MichelleArnosky Sherburne, with anessay by Lynn A. Bonfield.
The book recordsPeacham’s contributions andsacrifices of the soldiers andfamilies and depicts a ruralNew England town’s role dur-ing the Civil War. Drawingfrom scores of letters, diaries,memoirs, and photographs,this book vividly tells the storyof the men from Peacham,who went to war, and theirfamilies who endured life with-out them on the home front.
When the Civil War brokeout in April 1861, Peachamwas a prosperous hill townwith small family farms and apopulation of 1,247. Thetown’s response to the start ofthe Civil War was immediate.During the first year of the war,55 Peacham men enlisted. Inall, 165 Peacham soldiersfought for the Union at Lee’sMill, Antietam, Gettysburg, theWilderness, Cold Harbor,Cedar Creek, Petersburg, andin many other battles. The wartook a heavy toll among theyoung recruits: 16 Peachamsoldiers were killed in battle ormortally wounded; five per-ished in Confederate prisons;and disease took the lives of27 men.
Previously unpublishedletters, diaries, personal recol-lections, and photographsprovide insights into soldiers’
experiences during the war.The book also features 1864and 1865 war diaries pennedby a Peacham soldier in the11th Vermont Regiment andthe memoir of a cavalry sol-dier’s harrowing experiencesin the infamous prison at An-dersonville, Georgia. It alsosummarizes the memoirs ofthe town’s youngest soldier,15-year-old Turrell Elkins Har-riman.
Adding further detail tothis comprehensive history ofa Vermont town in the CivilWar, biographical sketcheschronicle the lives of all 169Peacham men who servedthe Union.
The book blends narrativewith a rich array of period pho-
tographs and images gath-ered from the Peacham His-torical Association’scollections, several Vermontdepositories, national collec-tions, and private sources.
The Civil War was notwon on the battlefield alone;those on the home front madevital contributions as well. Thebook looks at the contributionsand sacrifices of the womenand men who stayed behind.
A Vermont Hill Town in theCivil War: Peacham’s Story isnow available for purchase atthe Peacham Library and thePeacham Corner Guild, andonline on PHA’s website:peachamhistorical.org. Paper-back $25; hardcover $35(available in late July).

This fun couple from Mon-roe, New Hampshire recentlytook over “Smooch” and arekeeping it open year round.They purchased it with theidea of being a “family ownedand operated business”.Scott and Jody have 3 chil-dren, Julie, 17 attends St.Johnsbury Academy and ismajoring in the Culinary Artsand will be helping her momas soon as school is out, Chris11 and Rylan 8 both attendMonroe Consolidated School.
Smooch is located in theheart and pulse of downtownLittleton, this is a “must see”,“must experience” establish-ment. The atmosphere andambiance of Smooch with itsbright, sunny colors and inter-esting décor is sure to lift thespirits. The family is upbeat,positive & friendly. The goal ofthe Oliver’s is to provide a fun,relaxing atmosphere where
families can have a great ex-perience.
If you like cupcakes, youhave to try thechocolate/peanut butter frost-ing (if they aren’t alreadygone!). Jody bakes the cup-cakes fresh and will do specialorders with advance notice. Ifyou are lactose intolerant,they have coconut or almondmilk; if you are a body buildertry a smoothie mixed with yourfavorite protein powder, fla-vored coffee, espresso?There are many, many flavorsto choose from. Cupcakes,Giffords ice cream, smoothies,bubble tea, espresso and var-ious cold sandwich wraps,made to order, are all avail-able at Smooch.
Check out “The TeaLounge”. Here you can pluginto the free Wi-Fi, grab a bev-erage and/or snack and work(or surf) away. It is quiet and
feels secluded. This area canbe utilized, for any type ofevent you may be planning.Smooch will now be offering tohost your “make your ownsundae” parties – a great ideafor your child.
The aforementioned offer-ings are only the beginning forSmooch. It is the Oliver’s goalto make this “The Fun Spot” tohang out in Littleton. “We areall about making people feelhappy and appreciated,” saysScott, “every customer mat-ters, but the locals are very,important to us; without them,we could not succeed.”
Smooch has all the ingre-dients to be a smashing suc-cess. With Spring here andSummer on the way, the Pi-anos are out on the street (thebrilliant idea of their landlordDave Ernsberger) and onehas been placed directly out-side Smooch! This year there
is also a guitar, much to thejoy of Scott Oliver who is anaccomplished musician. Scottmay even play for his cus-tomers occasionally and maypossibly offer this space forothers who wish to “jam” onthe scene at Smooch!
If you have any sugges-
tions or ideas, Jody and Scottwant to hear about them.Let’s extend a warm welcometo the Olivers at Smooch.They are located at 97A MainStreet, Littleton, New Hamp-shire, phone number603.259.3555. Like them onFacebook!

Pat the chops dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and chili pow-der. Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 chopsand cook until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a platter and tent withfoil. Repeat with additional 1 tablespoon butter and remaining chops. Add onion, bell pep-pers and additional 1 tablespoon butter to empty skillet and cook until vegetables are soft-ened, about 5 minutes. Stir in cumin, oregano, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30seconds. Stir in orange juice and lime juice and simmer until lightly thickened, about 3-5minutes. Whisk in the remaining 1tablespoon butter and season with salt and pepper. Servechops with sauce and vegetables spooned over them.Serves 4.
Thin-cut cuban-style Pork chopsHere is an easy way to prepare pork chops,one that will have you dreaming of thecerulean blue Caribbean, and imagining youcan hear, see, and smell the tropical flavorsnative to that colorful corner off the Floridacoast. The recipe comes from an old issueof Cook’s Country magazine, one I had beenmeaning to try for a long time, but for somereason, never got around to; probably be-cause I don’t usually get the thin-cut chops.I finally had an “Aa-haa!” moment the otherday, and decided to just slice my thickerchops in half horizontally…voila…thin-cutpork chops! Once I had overcome that ob-stacle, I decided the recipe needed a bit morespice than the original, which just called forsalting and peppering the meat prior to cook-ing. After all, pork chops can look prettybland and anemic, so I added a little chilipowder to the mix. It really didn’t affect theflavor too much, but it sure made the dishlook a lot healthier! I served these over somemashed potatoes, with a side of roasted as-paragus, and it made for a lovely meal, lacedwith citrus and counterbalanced with theearthiness of the cumin and garlic. Thatwould normally be the end of story. But wait!
There were a couple leftover chops andsome of the pepper/onion mixture. Perfectthe following day recycled into Pork Fajitas!!All I did was thinly slice the meat, place a fewstrips on individual flour tortillas with some ofthe vegetables and a sprinkling of shreddedcheese, rolled those babies up and placedthem seam-side down in a very lightly but-tered skillet. After a few minutes heating, Iturned them and got the other side all goldenand crunchy. I served them with a little sourcream for dipping, and they were absolutelyspectacular! So there you have it; one recipethat can give you two diversely different, butequally stellar meals…my kind of cooking!
• 8 thin-cut pork chops (bone-in or boneless)• salt & pepper• 1 teaspoon chili powder• 4 tablespoons butter• 1 onion, halved and sliced thin• 2 colored peppers, seeded and sliced thin

If you’re part of “Genera-tion X” - the age cohort bornbetween the mid-1960s andthe early 1980s - you’re prob-ably in one of the busiestphases of your life, as you’rewell into your working yearsand, at the same time, busyraising a family. But just asyou’re “multi-tasking” in yourlife, you’ll also need to ad-dress multiple financial goals.In seeking to accomplishyour key objectives, you maybe asking yourself a varietyof questions, including thefollowing:
Should I contribute asmuch as possible to my IRAand 401(k)? In a word, yes.Your earnings on a traditionalIndividual Retirement Ac-count (IRA) and a 401(k)grow on a tax-deferred basis,so your money can accumu-late faster than it would ifplaced in an investment onwhich you paid taxes everyyear. Plus, since you typicallymake 401(k) contributionswith pretax dollars, the moreyou contribute, the loweryour taxable income. Andyour traditional IRA contribu-tions may be tax-deductible,depending on your income. If
you meet income guidelines,you can contribute to a RothIRA, which provides tax-freeearnings, provided you meetcertain conditions.
Should I put away moneyfor my kids’ college educa-tion? It’s not easy to fundyour retirement accountsplus save money for yourchildren’s college education.Still, college is expensive, soif you feel strongly abouthelping to pay for the highcosts of higher education,you may want to explore col-lege funding vehicles, suchas a 529 plan, which offerstax advantages.
Should I pay down mymortgage or invest thosefunds? Most of us dream offreeing ourselves from a mort-gage someday. So, as yourcareer advances and your in-come rises, you may wonderif you should make biggermortgage payments. On onehand, there’s no denying thepsychological benefits you’dreceive from paying off yourmortgage. However, you maywant to consider putting anyextra money into your invest-ment portfolio to help as youwork toward your retirement
Gen x’ers Must Juggle a
Variety Of Financial issuesgoals. Work with your financial advisor todetermine what may be most appropriatefor your portfolio.
Do I have enough insurance in placeto protect my family? You may hear thatyou need seven or eight times your an-nual income in life insurance, but there’sreally no “right” figure for everyone. Youmay want to consult with a financial advi-sor to determine how much life insuranceis appropriate for your needs.
Am I familiar with my parents’ financialsituation and estate considerations? Nowis the time to communicate with your par-ents about a variety of issues related totheir financial situation and estate plans.The more you know, the better positionedyou’ll be to provide assistance and sup-port if and when it’s needed. Just to nameone example, you should inquire of yourparents if they’ve designated a durablepower of attorney to make fi-nancial decisions for them incase they’re ever incapaci-tated. By answering thesequestions, you can get a han-dle on all the financial issuesyou face at your stage of life.It may seem challenging, buttaking the time now can helpyou better position yourself toreach your financial goals.

The family, wife Lois in par-ticular, has encouragedTRENDY TIMES to run thispiece, as it is a partial portrait ofher beloved husband duringone of his most recent after-
noons exploring dusty bottles inhis basement.
Got a story for you, has todo with wine - this story turnedout to have truth and beauty. Everett Henson got my atten-tion not long ago and told meabout making dandelion wine,making berry wine, and aboutdusty bottles in his basement –he also told me a couple ofbear tales. We’ll save the bearsfor another time.
I told Everett that I’d never
actually made any wine, dande-lion or otherwise. I told him thathe knew more about that than Idid. I’ve read up on it sinceEverett spoke with me. He toldme, “I had some dandelion wineonce a friend of mine made - itwas just like a cloud comingacross my tongue, it was so el-egant. I made some myselfonce, and realized I’d done itwrong. I learned from that.Made it better after that. I’ve gotsome old dusty bottles in mybasement, don’t know how oldsome of them are, made someof that wine myself, got somefrom other people, don’t knowafter all these years exactlywhat’s in them, curious abouthow they might taste Theymight be 20 or 30 years old”
When it comes to winetasting, I’m easy. “Where doyou live?” I asked. “Just aroundthe corner on Airport Road”, hetold me. We were there in about4 minutes.
His basement was verycool, which encouraged me.Everett told me the coolnesswas consistent, another en-couraging sign for winepreservation. “We try to keep itaround forty degrees yearround”. He guided me aroundthe concrete-floored and con-crete-walled naturally chilledcellar – just the kind of coolnessyou want to keep canned fruit orveggies in, or homemade wine.
There were dusty bottlesdown there all right, several ofthem, three of them big oldglass jars of the gallon capacity,about half-full, with some kindof cloth wrapped tight over thetop and held there with twine.One look at the abundantclumps of live growth floatingaround the top of the liquid toldEverett and me those were notfor tasting today. Or any day.We paid attention to the rest ofthe bottles, various shapes andsizes and colors, but all of themthe more standard wine bottlecapacity, 750 milliliters, withscrew caps or corks. Not one ofthem had any labels indicatingwhat was inside or when theywere made. Potential for tricksor long lost treats.
Everett and i had talkedearlier about what factorstypically make a wine go bad.Too much heat, too much fluc-
tuation between hot and coldtemperatures, a bad cork orother bottle closure that lets inoxygen – such air leakagecauses “oxidation”, or “mader-ization”, signaled by a brownishtinge plus a flavor reminiscentof Madeira – notice of a winewhich is well on its way to be-coming spoiled. “I know most ofthat - what else?”, he grinnedat me. I told him that even ifnone of those conditions exist,even well-stored wine bottlesgo bad sometimes when bac-terial contamination gets intothem just before capping, andaffects the fermentation. Wine,unlike beer and hard liquor,continues to age in the bottle, itis a living thing.
Everett suggested wetake a couple of bottles up-stairs and open them. Hisnice wife Lois joined us for tast-ing when we finally got thosebottles uncorked. It took the twoof us, me manning the screwpull, easing the corks upwardslowly, and Everett holding thebase of the bottle to the countertop. It took all the strength I had.Two of the most stubborn corksI’ve ever pulled in thirty years ofcork pulling. But both corkswere another encouraging signthat the wine might be OK - dryon the top, moist and flexible onthe bottom, the part closest tothe top of the wine in the bottle.Good protection. You can tell alot about old wine just by exam-ining the cork.
We found a treat and wefound a trick
BOTTLE ONE – THETRICK The look of this firstbottle had worried me – it wasa green bottle, high-shoul-dered, and holding it up to thelight of the window before
opening, the wine inside lookedcloudy – not a good sign for oldwine. Once Everett and I gotthat cork out, we poured thewine into three clear glass gob-lets, and the appearance sur-prised me – there was nohaziness in the glass at all, lotsof brightness and clarity. So thecloudy look had to do with thebottle itself, a film on the out-side. Another lesson to meabout old bottles. The “hue”, orcolor, was a golden brown, nota good sign for wine that wassupposed to be a white wine.Then the nose, the smell in theglass, told me a story – almostno smell except sharpness.Then the taste – sour, worsethan bad vinegar. Just to showyou never know. What was thewine made from? No one knew,or cared at that point.
BOTTLE TWO – THETREASURE I sniffed thenewly pulled cork – it was OK,better than OK. Sweetly pleas-ant. Good sign. This secondbottle was green also, slope-shouldered, and had appar-ently been stored on its side forsome time – a residue of sedi-ment still clung to one side ofthe interior even after the bottlewas upended. In the glass thehue was pale peach or melon,the clarity was bright and clear,no cloudiness, you could seegood light through it. Was itdandelion or rhubarb? No oneknew. The nose was like honey– and that nose grew more no-ticeable the longer it stayed inthe glass – even five minutesmade a difference. It tastedgreat. I was guessing it wasrhubarb. It was some of thebest sweet wine I’ve tasted,light and delicate, well-bal-anced with a good finish. Thatmeans I wanted another glassand soon had one.
There are more bottlesdown there left to check out andany one of them could be a trickor a treat. Everett and Lois sentme home with a bottle of their“recipe”, from 2000, home-made mixed berry wine, richand deeply red, and sweet, ri-valing some of the best port I’veever sipped from a glass.

Polio was a diseasedreaded especially by moth-ers of small children every-where. It could paralyze, andit could kill. It was very con-tagious in large groups, andquite prevalent during thesummer.
I was brought up in the'40's and '50's and mymother was very vigilantwhen it came to bringing mysister and me anywhere. Wecouldn't go to amusementparks, into stores. Wheneverwe went places, we couldn’teven get out of the car. Ithought we led a very boringlife, especially when wewould go by a public poolloaded with happy, splashingkids. And I always whinedwhile asking why they couldgo in the pool and why theirmothers weren't worriedabout Polio.
My mother remainedsteadfast. No kid of herswould be paralyzed or in anIron Lung, and she wasgoing to make sure of it.
When I was 12 years old,I went to a summer camp inMaine. I loved it! I was awayfrom home, with a bunch ofother kids, and I could swimin the salt water pool, I wasso excited!
I began to feel washedout and weak about 10 days
after returning home. I layaround doing little or nothing.My mother (who alwayswaited until we were reallysick before she called thedoctor) had me get up formeals, and once she had mego across the street wheresomeone was tearing downa barn so I could watch theprocess. My little brothersaw a wad of gum I hadtaken out of my mouth so Icould take an aspirin, andchewed it happily until mymother panicked when shesaw him.
A couple of days laterwhen I showed no improve-ment, she called Dr. Bailey.He made a house call.
After a couple of days inthe local hospital, I wastransferred to a large facilityin the city. The diagnosis wasPolio and I was in isolation.Although there seemed to beno paralysis, I had troubleswallowing. And I was terri-bly lonely!
Several weeks went byand I was sent home. My lit-tle brother and my sisterswere fine.I was still lethargicand very skinny! But I wasOK.
I had to miss the firstmonth of school that year.When I went back, my fellowstudents didn't believe I had
Polio because I didn't walkwith a limp or have a braceon my leg.
Starting about 20 yearsago, there were a lot of arti-cles about something called"post Polio syndrome". Bythat time in my life, I was be-ginning to have aches andpains and wondered if Icould be affected. There wasa facility in Boston that I vis-ited several times, had sometests (which were inconclu-sive) and met some peoplemy age who were there forthe same reason.
I also visited a supportgroup of people who had thesyndrome, and discoveredthat they all were worse offthan me. They directed meto several books and articlesabout Polio, which I read,and concluded that I didn'tbelong with that group.
In the mid-fifties Dr. Salkand Dr. Sabin disovered avaccine that eradicated Polioaltogether. We don't hearabout the dread diseaseanymore--other than in somethird-world countries wherepeople don't get immunized.
And for people in mygeneration, we don't fearlarge groups, public pools,amusement parks--or evenstores and sidewalks theway our mothers did.

Kingdom County Produc-tions and Marlboro Collegehave wrapped principal photog-raphy for their new collabora-tive film production “NorthernBorders,” directed by JayCraven and based on theaward-winning 1994 novel byHoward Frank Mosher. It tellsthe story of 10 year-old AustenKittredge, who is sent to livewith his Vermont grandparents,whose charged relationship iscalled “the Forty Years War.”The film stars Academy Awardnominees Bruce Dern andGenevieve Bujold along withSeamus Davey-Fitzpatrick,2010 Tony Award nominee,Jessica Hecht, and a support-ing cast of fifteen, includingeight Vermont actors.
“Northern Borders” shot for28 days, using locations inMarlboro, Guilford, andChester, Vermont, Chesterfield,NH, and Leyden, Massachu-setts. Its professional crew of19 professionals worked along-side 34 students and recentpost-grads from 15 colleges, aspart of the semester-longMovies From Marlboro projectat Marlboro College. The film’sediting will be now be com-pleted by an advanced film stu-dent at the Tisch School of theArts at New York University andsupervised by editor MelodyLondon whose credits includeJim Jarmusch’s three CannesFestival award winners,“Stranger than Paradise,”“Down By Law,” and “MysteryTrain.” The Ithaca-basedHorse Flies, will also includestudents as they compose andperform the musical score.
Kingdom County Produc-tions (KCP) has launched aKickstarter campaign to raiseneeded funds for the film’scompletion. Kickstarter is thenation’s leading vehicle for“crowd funding,” a new idea forutilizing social networks and
personal contacts to financecreative projects. People areasked to pledge tax-deductiblecontributions to help meet the“Northern Borders” goal of$56,000. Donors receive re-wards and updates for theirsupport. Only if the 60-daycampaign meets its goal,pledges will be collected andpaid to KCP. It’s an all-or-noth-ing proposition.
“Our Kickstarter campaignis part of what makes this pro-duction different—and like anold New England barn raising,”said KCP artistic director JayCraven. “Our success dependson our ability to attract hundredsof modest donors. This is differ-ent from our previous projectswhere we relied on a just a fewmuch larger investors to fund abigger budget. To date, 37backers have pledged $9,460,
mostly in amounts ranging from$10 to $350. If we succeed inmeeting our goal, I believe wewill advance our idea of sustain-able regional filmmaking – andfurther our educational missionguided by John Dewey’s in-spired notion of learning wherewe “enlarge meaning throughthe shared experience of jointaction.”
“Kickstarter now generatesmore funding for creative proj-ects than the National Endow-ment for the Arts,” addedCraven. “It’s provides a vitalnew path for the arts but it re-quires many people to buy in.We’re crossing our fingers.”

Healing after surgery, se-vere illness or exhaustion.Long illness, severe injury, anysurgery or hospital stay andexhaustion after great stressputs the body through enor-mous physical and psycholog-ical trauma. Herbal support
combinations can be excellentat these times for faster andbetter healing; cleansing thebody of drug residues, over-coming drug side effects, andrebuilding immune strength.
The body has the powerto heal itself, but after sur-
gery or illness, its inherentvital force often needs extrahelp to do it. Herbs pave theway for the body to do itsown work, by breaking uptoxins, cleansing, lubricating,toning and nourishing. Theyare essentially body bal-ancers, working through theglands, at the deepest levelsof the body processes. Theemphasis is on rebuildingand regeneration, to replen-ish nutritive elements andstrengthen over all vitality.Healing/mending herbs cansupply concentrated miner-als and trace minerals forbuilding blocks and nutrientassimilation, beta-carotenesas anti-infectives, B and C vi-tamins for tissue re-growth,and amino acids as proteinprecursors for body restora-tion. Many healing herbshave anti-biotic properties tohelp overcome harmful bac-teria and infection. They arealso effective anti-oxidants todiscourage relapse, and tocreate a high tissue oxygenenvironment where diseasecannot flourish.
Blood cleansing herbs in-clude: Red clover blossoms,
A healing/mending dietgives the body super nutri-tion for a limited time – tem-porarily increasing calories,fat, proteins, concentratingraw materials for grave nu-tritional deficiencies. Whenthe system stabilizes andthe body begins to supply itsown healing powers, this in-creased support can be
moderated to more normalamounts. The body willbegin to take over more andmore of its own work, andbegin replacing nutrition ithas lost.
A regeneration diet mustbe high in vitamin C foodsand beta-carotene, as anti-infectives and for new colla-gen and interstitial tissueproduction. It should be richin B vitamins to lessentrauma and stress on thebody, to build blood and me-tabolize proteins. (Minerals,especially bone mineralsare lost when there are longperiods of inactivity ; theyare also depleted with bloodloss, and they are neededfor tissue repair.) A recuper-ative diet must be high inoxygenating foods, to createan environment where disease cannot flourish, andto discourage disease fromrecurring.
A beginning fast forcleansing is not the way tobegin when the body isgreatly weakened or underacute trauma, even thoughit will probably be harboringmuch drug residue. There isoften so much depletion andstress, that a rigorous fast isself-defeating. Raw veg-etable juices as additions toother foods, however, areexcellent to purify and alka-lize the system.

Now that the nicerweather has arrived andSummer is right around thecorner, it is important to re-member that your dog needsto have adequate shelter andwater especially during theheat of the day. If your dogis an outside dog, pleasemake sure that they have ei-ther a large tree, coveredpatio, or large outside doghouse for protection from thesun and plenty of clean waterduring the course of the day.Some things do bear repeat-ing. Never, ever, lock yourdog in a closed car in theheat of the sun as the insideof your vehicle can reachover 100 degrees in minutesand will risk your animals life!Heat stroke and dehydrationcan be caused by not allow-ing the body to cool down.Dogs do not sweat throughtheir skin like humans. They
do release excess heat bypanting and sweatingthrough their foot pads.
This year is forecast to berather busy in the flea andtick department and it is rec-ommended to get a good fleacollar and treat your petperiodically with over thecounter products that willavoid those little buggersfrom invading your house. Itis a good idea when bringingyour animal in the house tosimply run your hands overthem to check before youenter the door. Brushingonce or twice a week (every-day for long-haired dogs) isalso recommended.
Summer is the most busytime of the year for planningvacations. Most dogs will behoused in kennels while theirowners are away and onewould need to make surethat they have all of their up-
to-date vaccinations as most,if not all, kennels will nothouse animals without hav-ing them. This would espe-cially include bordetella forkennel cough.
It is also important tomake sure that your dog getsadequate heartworm treat-ment especially during themosquito season. Heart-worm is a parasite that ispassed along by mosquitoes,lives in the heart of its victimand can be fatal. It is recom-mended to keep your animalon this treatment throughoutthe year but you would wantto consult your veterinarianfor more information for yourspecific case. Other recom-mendations would be to notallow your dogs to ride in thebed of a truck as it is danger-ous and you would run therisk of them jumping outwhile the truck is in motion.
Allowing them to ride withtheir head out of an openwindow is also not advisableas dirt can get into their eyes.
