Branching out: Duxbury inn owners find opportunity — in the treesStefan Hard / Staff Photo
Moose Meadow Lodge owners Willie Docto and Greg Trulson stand on the deck of the two-story treehouse nearing completion at the rural Waterbury inn.
@Body Ragged Right:DUXBURY — This isn't your average tree house.
@Body Ragged Right:A couple that runs an Adirondack-style bed and breakfast in Duxbury and a Berlin-based professional tree house constructor customized a two-story structure for overnight guest stays. The tree house features nearly 30 windows, wrap-around porches and a rustic feel with anything from exposed ceiling beams with hemlock wood to an inside staircase that circles a maple tree.
The tree house, about 10 feet off the ground, is held by two pine trees primarily through six steel pins that collectively support about 12 tons of weight. As the trees grow, the structure will remain at the same height, but the construction allows for the diameter of the trees to expand. During storms or windy days when the trees move in different directions, sliding joints allow give and take.
Visitors approaching the tree house are surrounded by a forest, and the tree house overlooks a pond. As guests walk up the steps of the tree house, they can see the porch's siding jut out with asymmetric Adirondack-style porch railings. When they walk up the inside, circular staircase, rectangular windows of different sizes at eye level seamlessly allow guests to continue looking outside at the trees.
The project is the creation of woodworker Eyrich Stauffer of Woodbury — once an American studies major in college who took an elective in furniture then wound up in the tree house industry –— and a couple who's run a bed and breakfast since the 1990s, Greg Trulson and Willie Docto, who tweaked and developed the design of the tree house as crews built it.
"He sat down with me on Day One and said 'What do you want? What do you envision?'" Trulson said. "As we build, it changes, and it's organic in nature."
Construction began during in August when one of Stauffer's tree house design and construction classes with the Waitsfield-based Yestermorrow Design/Build School built the main platform. Trulson said one bed and breakfast guest — who was scheduled to return to the lodge this year — saw the construction photos, and she quickly asked to switch her reservation to the tree house. The tree house will also have an electric fireplace and high-speed Wi-Fi Internet.
"I've built 20 tree houses over the last 12 years. This was the first one I did for a bed and breakfast," said Stauffer, who's built tree houses across the country and even for people who use wheelchairs at actor Paul Newman's The Hole in the Wall Gang Camp in Connecticut.
The class had about 10 students in age groups ranging from about their 20s to 60s from the West Coast, mid-Atlantic states, Texas, Vermont and Canada. The group was at the property as part of a weeklong course that also goes over educational and design work, such as learning about tree biology and design principles and designing their own projects.
As opposed to your typical backyard tree house with boards that might have 100 nails in each board, professional tree houses take note that any attachment point to the tree could affect its longevity, said Stauffer, who likened the attachment points to wounds.
Stauffer and his work crew then built the remainder of the tree house, largely finishing the project in December.
Finishing touches are still needed, such as hanging custom-made light fixtures made out of antlers and an antler-made chandelier inside, painting trim and adding furniture and decorations.
The tree house will officially be available to rent out beginning this summer, and an open house will allow people to see the tree house as part of Duxbury's 250-year celebration. The open house will occur from noon to 4 p.m. June 16 on Fathers Day as part of a bed and breakfast tour.
Information is available at www.duxbury250.com, which provides a link for buying tickets for the tour. Proceeds from the $10 tickets will benefit the Duxbury Historical Society.
As part of the organic development process, Stauffer and Trulson walked around the property of the bed and breakfast to look at about three or four different tree types to use as a center-point fixture for a circular staircase inside the tree house. Trulson said they ultimately settled on maple because of its smooth touch.
Other parts seek to add as much ruggedness as possible, such as knots in the trim of each window, which were tweaked with Stauffer as the project was being built.
"I said I want as much character with the trim," Trulson said. "The more knots, the better."

By attorney Keith Sonderling, Special to THELAW.TV
Since the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (also known as "Obamacare") was signed into law, many business owners have consistently complained about the increased costs of its implementation. Because the start date of the major provisions of the Act were delayed from 2014 to 2015, most of the employees whose policies may be affected have not yet actually felt any of the alleged negative effects and instead have only heard of looming changes.
Now, as companies begin to prepare for the start of the act, employees are slowly beginning to feel these effects. UPS recently informed its employees that health care coverage for their spouses would no longer be made available. UPS estimates that this change will effect nearly 15,000 of its employees' spouses and save the company $60 million dollars. Similarly, the University of Virginia is dropping employees' spouses from its plan, in response to spending $7 million dollars to implement Obamacare at the University. Many employees now are questioning why their employers are targeting and dropping their spouses.
The reason is simple: the Affordable Care Act allows it. Under the act, employers are not required to provide health care coverage to an employee's spouse. In doing so, the act altered the definition of who is a "Dependent" for purposes of offering health care coverage to employees. The term Dependent means a child under the age of 26 years old. This includes all natural born children, adopted children, and stepchildren of the employee. The term specifically does not include the spouse of the employee. The reasoning behind not including an employee's spouse as a Dependent is based upon the assumption that the spouse is working and eligible to receive coverage from their own employer (regardless if they are actually employed).
In essence, the Affordable Care Act only requires employers to offer health care coverage to its full-time employees and their dependents -- no one else. Although the employer has no option with regards to insuring the employee's children, it is the employer's sole option to offer coverage to the employees' spouses. Thus, many employers like UPS will drop spouses from their health care plan as a cost-saving mechanism. Doing so will certainly be a cost saving mechanism for the employer, but could pose a logistical nightmare for a spouse who suddenly needs to find a new insurance plan separate from their spouse and children. Other employers may continue to offer spousal coverage, but charge a surcharge, penalty, or other fees for spouses to be on the company plan. Although this change may enrage employees and their spouses, the companies who have done so, and those who will follow suit, can simply contend that they are simply following the mandates of the law.

Vermont's first woman in Washington: Coming soon?By Joy Liu
Special to the Times Argus | December 15,2013For Vermont, the Washington delegation remains an old boys club.
While nearly a century has passed since women first gained the right to vote, the Green Mountain State has yet to send its first female to Capitol Hill one of just four states never to have elected a woman to the U.S. Senate or House of Representatives.
Like the other three states yet to break through this glass ceiling Delaware, Iowa, and Mississippi Vermont has a small congressional delegation where incumbents tend to stay for a long time, and open seats are a rarity. Vermont stands in contrast to neighboring New Hampshire, where the entire four-member congressional delegation is female in the wake of the 2012 election, and Maine, where half of the four-person delegation is made up of women.
But, overall, only 18 percent of todays Congress is comprised of women 20 in the 100-member Senate and 78 in the 435-member House. The reasons range from the current realities of campaign fundraising to personal-life priorities and the difficulties of accomplishing change within the legislative process, according to those who closely observe the process of women running for office.
Weve seen women (who have) been detoured in terms of the dirtiness of politics, currently the ineffectiveness of politics, said Kelly Dittmar of Rutgers Universitys Center for American Women and Politics in New Brunswick, New Jersey. If you look at Washington today, you might not see that as a place to get things done. So why would women be motivated?
Vermont can boast of having elected Madeleine Kunin, who in 1984 became only the fourth woman in U.S. history to be elected governor in her own right (as opposed to succeeding her husband). But if Kunin, who left the governorship in 1990, eventually made it to Washington as the No. 2 official in the Education Department during the Clinton administration she never sought election to Congress.
The timing was just not right, she said. There wasnt any (vacancy) it wasnt right politically.
No vacancy means having to challenge an incumbent. More often than not, it remains an uphill battle to dislodge an incumbent: According to a study by the Washington-based Center for Responsive Politics, the reelection rate of incumbent members of Congress has been running at more than 75 percent since 1982.
During the past four decades, Senate seats have come open only twice in the Green Mountain State in 1988, as Kunin was seeking a third term as governor and Republican Robert Stafford was retiring, and in 2006, when Republican-turned-Independent James Jeffords called it quits. In both instances, the states lone U.S. House member Jeffords and Independent Bernard Sanders, respectively were elected to move up and fill the vacant Senate slot.
Today, while all three men in the Vermont delegation are older than 65, none has shown any public sign of contemplating retirement. The states two senators, Democrat Patrick Leahy and Sanders, have more aggregate seniority than the senators from the other 49 states. Leahy, first elected in 1974, is now the longest-serving member of the Senate. Sanders, first elected to the House in 1990 before moving to the Senate 16 years later, has now spent nearly a quarter of a century on Capitol Hill.
Kunin believes that when it comes to running against an incumbent, gender is no longer a question, given that its difficult for any newcomer to raise a tremendous amount of money to win against a long-time serving member.
But others suggest that fundraising remains an obstacle for women contemplating office, whether challenging an incumbent or seeking an open seat.
When we survey women legislators who are potential candidates, they always say that fundraising is a barrier, said Dittmar of the Center for American Women and Politics. Its something that they dont like to do, and they see as a barrier to office.
According to Dittmar, surveys suggest that although men and women raise about the same amount of money in comparable races, fundraising may take more effort for women. In closing the fundraising gap between male and female candidates, help from outside infrastructure is invaluable, she noted.
Several political-action committees such as EMILYs List, which backs Democratic female candidates who support abortion rights have been created to help funnel money to women running for office. Other groups aim to provide women with training in the nuts and bolts of running a campaign.
In Vermont, Kunin heads a group, Emerge Vermont, which provides intensive training to Democratic women about how to run a successful campaign, in the hope that this will ultimately provide them with a springboard to higher office. Emerge Vermont is part of the national organization that started in California and now operates in 14 states.
Vermont would seem to have a head start in this regard, as it already ranks ahead of many other states when it comes to electing women to state and local office. With Gov. Peter Shumlins recent appointment of Democrat Marjorie Ryerson of Randolph Village to an open seat in the Vermont House, women now are a majority in the Democratic Party of that chamber.
Vermont now ranks first nationwide in terms of the percentage of women in the Legislature. At present, 41.1 percent of the Vermont Senate and House are comprised of women, according to statistics compiled by the Center for American Women and Politics. (Colorados legislature is a close second with 41.0 percent; neighboring New Hampshire ranks fifth nationally, with 33.5 percent.)
But in congressional elections, personal factors often come into play for women: Its often harder for women to make the decision to run, as they are more relationally embedded than men, Dittmar said.
Women often do not see politics as either an option or the best route for them in the way men do, she said. Women, most being primary caregivers, consider running for office in Washington a factor that could bring unwanted changes to their families and children.
But what some see as a benefit of having the increasing numbers of women elected to higher office came into focus during the partial shutdown of the federal government in early October.
Sen. Susan Collins, a moderate Republican from Maine, put forth a plan to end the shutdown, and called upon members from the two major parties to come together and legislate responsibly and in good faith. The next day, Sens. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., and Sen. Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, joined Collins effort. Soon, Collins was leading a bipartisan group of 14 senators, nearly half of them women, in drafting a spending plan.
A few hours before the final vote on Oct. 16, three of the women senators involved physically moved across the Senate aisle, sat next to each, and chatted and laughed. It was a scene one almost never sees in C-SPAN broadcasts of the Senate proceedings, particularly in an era of unrelenting partisanship.
The fact (is) that having less testosterone really makes you less combative and more willing to work across the aisle and want to get the job done, Kunin said. Women dont enjoy confrontation as some men do.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., was also in the group of 14 senators. He later told Time magazine that he was proud of the womens effort in ending the shutdown. Imagine what they could do if there were 50 of them, McCain said.
As McCain pictured a more effective Congress formed by more women, Dittmar said womens decisions to run for office are often guided by whether they feel they can be effective.
While mens motivations for running are largely associated with a desire for being in power, women make this decision differently, Dittmar said: They run to make policy changes.
If we continue to see that among the women who run and win, as more women get in, it could be helpful to the environment in Washington, she explained.
As the time has come and little bias remains about having women in federal legislative positions, Kunin, now 80, is confident there will absolutely be a woman representing Vermont on Capitol Hill in the near future.
We will, I expect in five years, see a woman in Congress, Kunin said. There are many talented women serving in the (state) Legislature and some serving in the (state) administration. Many are potential candidates for higher office.MORE IN This Just InMONTPELIER A new report from a commission that studied the cost, availability and quality of...

Summertime, and the grilling is easy. At least it will be if you take a few small steps to get ready and pick the right recipes!
Whether you're a backyard impresario with a complete outdoor kitchen or an occasional griller who cleans the spiders out of the Weber once a month, you'll want to get cooking now that summer's upon us.
What Grill?
If you're buying a new (or your first) grill, the first thing you'll need to decide is which kind, gas or charcoal. Gas has the advantage of being almost instantly ready to cook, however if you want to get any kind of smoke flavoring either from short-term or long-term cooking, you'll be by and large out of luck. One of the byproducts of natural gas burning is water vapor, which will inhibit the penetration of the smoke.
While charcoal takes longer to get ready, there's just no matching the flavor of meat cooked over briquets. For a really great cookout, especially for items that like a bit of searing like burgers and steaks, get some "natural chunk" charcoal, which burns hotter and lights faster. It will cost a bit more, but for certain uses, it's worth it.
Keep It Clean!
One of the best things about a grill is that it doesn't have to be as squeaky-clean as your indoor cooking tools. In fact, most hardcore grillers will tell you that a layer of smoke residue on the inside of the grill actually makes the food taste better. However, to avoid having your grill session end with a trip to the emergency room, there are some basic cleanliness and sanitation rules to keep in mind.
While your grill doesn't have to be shiny clean before use, you do need to make sure there are no pieces of your previous cooking session stuck to it. Prepare metal grills by heating them over the coals, then hitting them with a wire brush to get all the stickies off. Every couple of uses, go over the grill with a grill brick, an abrasive block that will give it a more thorough cleaning.
Stay Safe
Food handling is where most outdoor cookers go awry, playing fast and loose with such potentially deadly issues as cross-contamination and temperature control.
How often have you carried your meat out to the grill and cooked it, only to put it back on the same tray or plate you used to carry it out? I remember my father would wave his meat tray over the coals, saying that the heat would kill off all the bacteria. The problem there was that if the tray had gotten hot enough, he wouldn't have been able to hold it.
I use two baking sheets, one nested inside the other. Take the meat off to the grill, and set the dirty tray aside.
Failure to wash meaty or chicken-covered hands is another great way to end your cookout with a trip the the hospital. Either wear nonporous gloves when handling your meat or wash them after touching any raw stuff.
Know Your Heat
While most grilled meats can take a good searing, especially if you like your beef rare or medium-rare, larger cuts require more careful cooking. If you're cooking a pork loin, large chicken breast or other large hunk of meat, you'll need to either lower the heat on your gas grill or use indirect heat on your charcoal rig.
Indirect heat, as the name would indicate, involves stacking your charcoal either on one side of the grill or on each end and cooking your food over the open space. It lets you slow the cooking process while still getting that great grilled flavor.
Watch The Sugar
If you're going to use barbecue sauce, especially a commercially prepared one, you'll want to keep that indirect heat method in mind. Commercial sauces are almost all loaded with sugar of some type, and sugar burns very readily over direct heat. It's quite possible to have a piece of meat that's done perfectly in the middle but looks like the briquets that cooked it on the outside.
Use your sauce late in the cooking process, when the food is almost done, and be sure to keep sauced meat away from flare-ups or high heat.
Choose Your Signature Piece
So now you're ready to go, but what should you cook?
Pork is one of the most popular grill candidates, and the recipe below will help pull off that most prized of cooking tricks: making your guests think you're a far more talented cook than you actually are.
Pork Chops With Bacon/Gouda Stuffing
4 pork chops, cut 1 ½ to 2 inches thick 6 slices bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled 4 ounces smoked Gouda 2 cloves garlic, chopped 2 tbsp. chopped fresh parsley In each chop, use a sharp, thin-bladed knife to cut a pocket as deep as you can without piercing all the way through. If you use bone-in chops, this is easy, since the bone will stop the blade. If you use boneless chops, you'll have to be careful.
Mix the remaining ingredients together in a bowl, tossing thoroughly. Stuff each chop with the mixture and close the pocket with toothpicks. If you're feeling especially artful, sew up the pocket with butcher's twine.

After teasing fans on Monday with a partial glimpse of the Batmobile for the upcoming "Man of Steel" sequel, Zack Snyder posted a photo to Twitter on Tuesday of the Dark Knight's new ride and Ben Affleck in the bat suit.
Snyder is directing the sequel to last year's "Man of Steel" movie. The film doesn't have a title, but is slated as "Batman vs. Superman" on IMDb.
Snyder posted an image to Twitter on Tuesday, showing Affleck, who will star as Bruce Wayne/Batman, standing next to the new Batmobile.
As the movie continues in pre-production, fans have been eager to get a glimpse of anything related to the "Man of Steel" sequel, where the two will supposedly face off.
Snyder didn't say anything in the tweet related to the movie.
All he said was, "I shot this with my @leica_camera M Monochrom. #Batman #Batmobile #Gotham"
At a glance, the Dark Knight's new ride appears reminiscent of Christopher Nolan's version of the Batmobile, which was called the "Tumbler" in his Dark Knight trilogy. Affleck faces down, wearing the bat suit, which has smaller bat ears and less of a body-armor style than Nolan's trilogy.
The upcoming sequel will set up a future Justice League of America film, which was recently announced, and it will be the first time that Batman and Superman will appear in a live-action feature film together.
At the San Diego Comic Con last year, Snyder had actor Harry Lennix read a part of Frank Miller's "The Dark Knight Returns" to promote his upcoming sequel.
"I want you to remember, Clark, in all the years to come, in your most private moments, I want you to remember my hand at your throat. I want you to remember the one man who beat you," Lennix read.
After the actor read the clip, Snyder unveiled a Batman logo with a Superman logo in the middle.
It was a cryptic unveiling, but one that sparked massive interest for fans of the characters. In Miller's book "The Dark Knight Returns" Batman returns to fighting crime after an eight-year hiatus. His return to crime fighting sparks controversy and leads to the president making Superman go toe-to-toe with the Caped Crusader.
Snyder noted that he wasn't adapting Miller's book, but was using that piece to help tell the story he wanted to tell.
The untitled "Batman vs. Superman" movie is set to be released in 2016. No date has been set for the Justice League movie.

The average cost for a Heater Hose Replacement is between $105 and $151. Labor costs are estimated between $61 and $78 while parts are priced between $44 and $73. Get a personalized estimate based on your location and specific car. Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Heater Hose Replacement Cost for Mazda B2200
Heater Hose Replacement Estimate (National Average)
Validated estimate range for national average.
View Estimate Details
Parts & Labor Breakdown
Labor: $61 - $78
Parts: $44 - $73
Estimate does not include taxes and fees.
Best Practices
If the vehicle has a heater control valve attached to the heater hoses, they should all be replaced at the same time.
We recommend using molded coolant hoses rather than "universal" hoses. Universal hoses can be deformed by pressure and heat and are prone to failure earlier than hoses designed to fit your vehicle.
We recommend replacing the hose clamps, as the clamps will weaken over time and new clamps will help prevent coolant leaks.
Common Symptoms
Coolant hoses can be damaged by oil leaks. The issue should be addressed in order to avoid damaging the new hoses.
Last step before receiving your estimate:
* Estimate for all Mazda B2200 model years. Get a more accurate price by entering in your year.

How can you tell if your baby is suffering from hearing loss? Watching for the following signs can offer some clues.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, one symptom to look for is if your baby doesn't seem startled at loud noises.
As your child ages, watch to see if he or she looks at a sound source after the age of about 6 months.
If your child doesn't say a single word by the time he or she is 1 year old that could be a sign of hearing loss, according to the CDC.
The CDC recommends to also watch your child to see if he or she responds to you calling his or her name. Also watch to see if your child responds to some sounds but not all sounds.

McKayla Maroney, Obama 'not impressed'
President, Maroney model famous expression for camera
Published On: Nov 17 2012 09:59:49 AM PST Updated On: Nov 17 2012 07:16:31 AM PST
Here's an expression on the president you probably haven't seen before: He's imitating gymnast McKayla Maroney's "not impressed" look.
The president met with members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic gymnastics team on Thursday. The White House released the photo Saturday.
Maroney's astounding skills on the vault helped the team win gold, but during individual events, she won a silver in her signature event. During the medal ceremony, she was caught with the now infamous "not impressed face" that went viral.
After meeting with Obama, she tweeted, "Did I just do the not impressed face with the president?"

Extreme much?
A 7-year-old Virginia girl wants to be a real princess so bad that her dad actually claimed land along the Sudanese border in Africa to fulfill her wishes, according to the Washington Post.
"As a parent you sometimes go down paths you never thought you would," Jeremiah Heaton told the Washington Post.
Heaton, a father of three who works in the mining industry, searched desolate stretches of land near Egypt until planted a blue flag with four stars and a crown on a rocky hill in an 800-square-mile unclaimed swath of desert last month. He proclaimed Emily as princess, calling it "North Sudan."
Obviously, that doesn't mean we have a new nation
Heaton now needs legal recognition from neighboring countries, the United Nations or other groups with actual political control of the land, experts told the Bristol Herald Courier.
Heaton, who ran for Congress in 2012, is confident he'll get approval. He believes love with conquer all.
"I founded the nation in love for my daughter," Heaton said.

Did Mitt Romney really have "whole binders full of women" he used when making hiring decisions?
It was his response to a question – on gender pay inequality - which turned heads and started fingers tapping on keyboards. Before the debate was over, there was a Twitter hashtag, a series of memes on Tumblr, and a Facebook page with more than 100,000 fans. The phrase was the third-fastest rising search on Google during the debate.
The Obama campaign was in on it as well: a paid post from President Barack Obama's official campaign account appeared atop searches for "binders full of women" on Twitter.
In the second question of the night, voter Katherine Fenton queried Obama: "In what new ways to you intend to rectify the inequalities in the workplace, specifically regarding females making only 72 percent of what their male counterparts earn?"
The incumbent cited the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, which was the first piece of legislation he signed into law.
Romney, who worked in business, then served as governor of Massachusetts, said he "learned a great deal" about the inequalities between men and women in the workplace when chief executive of his state.
"I had the chance to pull together a cabinet and all the applicants seemed to be men," Romney said. And I – and I went to my staff, and I said, 'How come all the people for these jobs are – are all men?' They said, "Well, these are the people that have the qualifications.' "
Romney said he requested "a concerted effort to go out and find women who had backgrounds that could be qualified to become members of our cabinet."
"I went to a number of women's groups and said, 'Can you help us find folks,' and they brought us whole binders full of women," Romney said.
The tweets and posts quickly stacked up.

Vermont House advances lakeshore protection billBy DAVE GRAM
The Associated Press | March 28,2013AP Photo
Houses line the shore of Woodbury Lake in Woodbury. The Vermont House has modified a bill aimed at enhancing the protection of Vermonts lakes from the effects of some shoreline development.MONTPELIER A proposal to increase the protection of Vermonts lakes from the effects of some shoreline development took a step forward Wednesday in the House, but environmental groups said the effort was significantly weakened.
Supporters said their aim is to move away from the sloping lawn down to a stone barrier along the waters edge as the classic image of lakefront lot design, and in the direction of woods down to the waters edge, with a natural give-and-take of water and wildlife between the lake and the surrounding land.
The original bill banned major construction within 100 feet of the water, allowing some tree-cutting to enhance views, and smaller construction of such items as paths to the water, small sheds and gardens.
A permit would be required for work within 100 to 250 feet of the water.
But the version advanced by the House on Wednesday dropped the 100-foot construction ban.
Though it maintained the 250-foot permit requirement, it left the rules governing those permits to drafting by the state Agency of Natural Resources.
That drew fire from critics who complained of a blank check being granted to the agency. I have no idea what Im voting for, said Rep. Tom Koch, R-Barre Town. Thats no way to legislate.
The bills changes were the result of an attempt to compromise with municipalities and property rights advocates, said Rep. Kate Webb, a Shelburne Democrat and a leading sponsor of the bill, which won preliminary approval on a 105-42 roll call vote.
She said members of the Fish, Wildlife and Water Resources Committee had struck the best balance we could to achieve an 8-1 committee vote addressing the rights of property owners, the desire for local control and the compelling evidence that we could no longer maintain the status quo.
Supporters of the measure said New Hampshire and Maine regulate building on lakefronts more than Vermont does and that legislation in Vermont was overdue.
Under the measure, the Agency of Natural Resources would have two years to adopt rules. Cities and towns could adopt bylaws accomplishing the same protections; state rules would apply if they dont.
Environmental groups criticized the measure. Anthony Iarrapino of the Conservation Law Foundation said his group worried that the two-year hiatus while the agency drafts rules will invite a building boom by property owners who want to beat the rules.
Jake Brown of the Vermont Natural Resources Council called the House bill weak, saying he hoped it can be strengthened in the Senate, where the bill heads next if, as expected, it wins final approval today.MORE IN Vermont NewsMONTPELIER Rep.

A fifth grader who brought marijuana to his school in an effort to stop his dad from smoking it could be expelled from school.
Local police officers responded to a report of a student in possession of marijuana Tuesday, reports the Suffolk News-Herald. According to Suffolk police, the Driver Elementary student showed his teacher the marijuana and said he took it from his father so that he would stop smoking.
City spokeswoman Diana Klink said: "When asked about the marijuana in the presence of the student's mother, he advised the officer that he found it in his father's truck and brought it to school to show his teacher because he wanted his father to stop smoking marijuana."
Because of a strict school policy against drugs, the student was suspended and recommended for expulsion. An expulsion hearing will be held within 10 days.

Barre City School Board settles on busing planStefan Hard / Staff Photo
School buses operated by First Student Transportation await pickup of students Tuesday at Barre City Elementary and Middle School. First Student's contract will expire in June and Student Transportation Services will take over the school's busing contract.
BARRE — First Student Transportation came in second and Student Transportation Services came in first, but the big winner when it comes to newly submitted busing bids was the Barre City School Board, which was able to trim an extra $103,000 from the bottom line of its recently failed budget request by opening two envelopes.
Also Monday, the board put the finishing touches on the budget it will ask voters to approve next month, finalized the warning for the May 14 special election, and was told the district is sporting a $91,000 surplus. But the big news came in the form of busing bids — at least one of which was way better than expected.
The board had briefly flirted with dropping busing from its budget entirely before learning that wasn't possible. It did decide to cut one bus as a cost-saving measure but agreed Monday night that wasn't necessary.
Board members were told the reason could be found in Student Transportation Services' bid to take over busing students to and from Barre City Elementary and Middle School.
The company's three-year, $1.4 million bid for nine new buses comes with a first-year cost of $447,121 — nearly $103,000 less than the $550,000 that was included in the budget voters rejected, 652-483, on Town Meeting Day.
Under the contract, which board members approved Monday night, busing costs will climb to $460,534 next year and to $474,350 when the agreement enters its final year on July 1, 2015.
The third-year cost of the Student Transportation Services contract was nearly $100,000 less than the first-year cost that was quoted by the school's longtime bus provider, First Student Transportation.
First Student's bid for nine new buses contemplated a three-year, $1.75 million contract that would have cost the district $569,633 during the fiscal year that starts July 1. Even an alternative proposal to provide nine used buses that was submitted by First Student exceeded the cost for the new vehicles quoted by Student Transportation Services, an established company that broke into the central Vermont market last year when it secured contracts for school districts in Williamstown and Northfield.
Though both companies quoted seven- and eight-bus alternatives, board members agreed the savings reflected in Student Transportation Services' nine-bus bid negated the need to shrink the size of the district's bus fleet.
The favorable bus bids mark the second significant savings the district has realized since voters rejected the board's initial budget request. Thanks to an overly conservative estimate involving a projected health insurance increase, the board was previously able to shave roughly $30,000 from the school spending plan.
The unanticipated savings associated with the busing contract and health insurance costs, coupled with the board's decision to abandon the planned expansion of the district's preschool program for a staff-related savings of $95,000, are all reflected in the $12.1 million budget the board adopted Monday night.
That is the budget that voters will be asked to approve May 14 when they revisit their Town Meeting Day rejection of budgets for both the city and its central elementary school, as well as $61,000 in funding for a school-based police officer.
Not counting $725,000 in anticipated grant funding that will not affect local taxes, the proposed school budget now stands at $12,142,027. That's nearly $250,000 less than the board's initial request of $12,389,947 and nearly $1.1 million, or 9.8 percent, more than the $11,053,509 budget that voters approved a year ago.
Board members have blamed a significant spike in the cost of providing special education services for the increase in the proposed budget, while defending the need for an additional administrative position that remains in the budget.
The better-than-expected bus bids couldn't have come at a better time for a board that is hoping to persuade Granite City voters to approve a spending plan that they contend is both educationally necessary and a bargain based on the fact that the district spends less per pupil than the vast majority of schools in the state.
Among other things it shaved roughly a penny off the projected tax rate increase that would be needed to finance the revised budget. Thanks largely to a modest increase in the city's common level of appraisal — a figure the state uses to adjust tax rates based on how accurately it determines a community's property is assessed — approval of the budget now being proposed for Barre City Elementary and Middle School would trigger a rate hike of about 2.5 cents.
That would add $50 to the tax bill for a home assessed at $200,000.

A 6-year-old boy collapsed and died shortly after falling ill at a Tampa-area school, deputies said.
Hillsborough County Sheriff's spokesman Larry McKinnon said Jose Maria Pinto-Rosa was in the lunchroom at Cypress Creek Elementary School in Ruskin at about 11 a.m. Wednesday when he told an employee he felt sick.
The child was taken to the nurse's office.
Deputies saud the boy collapsed and school officials called 911. The kindergartner was taken to South Bay Hospital, where he died a short time later.
McKinnon said there was no indication the child had any contagious medical condition. He said witnesses saw some symptoms that might explain the boy's sudden death, but he did not release details.
An autopsy is planned. The sheriff's office is conducting a death investigation.

Bring Me an Old Lefty and a Young Lefty?
The Angels made move number two today and signed another left handed pitcher – respected reliever and successful occasional closer Scott Downs. Downs is lights out and I am very pleased with this unexpected deal. Downs is 35 but doesn't seem to be slowing down any – with an ERA well under 3 and a lower WHIP than and the same pitcher's batting average as Felix Hernandez – and even improved over his 2009 season. The Angels could use another lefty and a senior presence in the Bullpen, especially one who could be another viable closer if it turns out that Fernando Rodney's 2010 season was not an aberration. This second deal was a fantastic precursor to a really big third deal, right? Right?
Ah, but there's the rub. When he announced this deal, Angles GM Tony Reagins said "I believe we are where we need to be at this point," and "This is not the precursor to another deal." In the Bullpen, right? We're right where we need to be and don't need another deal in the Bullpen, right? Tony? Mike? Anybody? Because, really, I don't think we're right where we need to be as a team. We need another bat…a big one…and a filler or two for some of the defensive holes I've been mentioning…
When I initially heard the Scott Downs announcement, before I read the article, I thought that signing Downs and declaring the bullpen complete instead of going after Soriano might actually be genius. It could add another strong reliever and potential closer to the Bullpen with enough of a savings to give the Angels more leeway to make a realistic – read, insane! – bid for Adrian Beltre, who could shore up the more than sketchy third base situation I mentioned in my last post. Oh, and Beltre can hit the ball too, just a little bit. Another strong possibility Tony Reagins should be considering with this signing is trading one of our coveted young relievers for a strong bat not currently on the free agent's list. But it doesn't sound like Tony is considering either option.
I realize that the off season is far from over. The Hot Stove is still bubbling away. What GMs say to the press and what they are actually planning to do may bear little if any resemblance to one another. So I am far from panicking at this point, but let's just say Tony's quotes aren't doing a whole lot to make me feel good either.
2 Comments
You're right not to panic. There's still time to sign Beltre and maybe Reagins was only bluffing when he made it sound like the Angels were done. Meanwhile, Downs is a great pickup. I know the Yankees were interested in him too, but he was too expensive or something. He should be a very good addition to your pen.
Jane – Yeah, although the timing of the acquisition seemed a little like a knee jerk in response to the Crawford signing, I think Downs was a good decision. I hope you're right about the bluffing though.

'The Kills' a massive novel about dirty deeds in Iraq
If you'd like to immerse yourself in a novel during your August vacation, and if you're skeptical of a world in which private contractors get away with dirty deeds outside the reach of the law, let me introduce you to Richard House's "The Kills," which Picador will publish Aug. 5 in the U.S.
Published in England in 2013 and long-listed for the Man Booker Prize, "The Kills" is an interlocking set of four novels under a single cover. It centers on a Brit named John Jacob Ford, who under the name Sutler has taken a contract in Iraq for a shady multinational. On virtually a moment's notice, Sutler is directed to disappear -- a multimillion-dollar swindle is about to be exposed, and in return for taking the public fall and going underground, Sutler/Ford will be rewarded with hefty cash in a bank account. His escape, his difficulties trying to access the account, and an intense, multinational hunt for him drive much of the action. »Read Full Blog Post

BARRE A Montpelier man who has admitted having sexual contact with a 5-year-old girl will be getting a new lawyer before he is sentenced on the charges.
Gordon R. Spillman, 48, pleaded guilty in February to sexual exploitation of a child and aggravated sexual assault, both felonies, in Washington County criminal court. As part of the plea, Spillman agreed to a sentence of 12 years to life.
Charges of lewd and lascivious conduct with a child, possession of child pornography and recording the sexual conduct of a child were dropped under the agreement.
According to the Montpelier police affidavit, Spillman took nude pictures of the girl while she slept in 2011. Police also said the girl told her parents in 2012 that Spillman had touched her sexually one time when they were playing Go Fish.
Police said they found several pornographic images of children on CDs Spillman had created.
Spillman told police he was interested in girls 6 to 13 years old and blamed his depression for his actions, according to court records.
In court Tuesday, Spillmans public defender, Maggie Vincent, would not give much reason for her withdrawal from the case, except to say there was a communication breakdown.
In the motion Vincent filed asking for her removal from the case, she said the breakdown happened right after Spillman pleaded guilty and he wanted a second opinion on his case.
Judge Thomas Zonay wanted to make sure Spillman understood that Vincents leaving his case would not change anything with his plea and the case would still move forward to sentencing. Spillman said he understood.
His case is awaiting the results of a presentencing investigation before Spillman learns his fate.MORE IN This Just In

By Tracey, Pure Matters
Many organizations and women's groups are banding together to help teach women the signs and symptoms of heart disease.
Go Red for Women, an American Heart Association initiative, joined forces with actress Elizabeth Banks to help get the message out. Together they produced a short film: 'Just a Little Heart Attack.' Banks directed and starred, and almost half a million people have viewed the entertaining and informative video.
The concept is simple: many women aren't aware of heart attack symptoms and many times, ignore them because they're "too busy" to deal with it. Banks plays a Supermom who tries to ignore the obvious signs that she's suffering a heart attack.
Here's a formal list of heart attack symptoms per the National Institute of Health:
- Chest pain or discomfort. This involves uncomfortable pressure, squeezing, fullness, or pain in the center or left side of the chest that can be mild or strong. This discomfort or pain often lasts more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back.
- Upper body discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw, or upper part of the stomach.
- Shortness of breath, which may occur with or before chest discomfort.
- Nausea (feeling sick to your stomach), vomiting, light-headedness or sudden dizziness, or breaking out in a cold sweat.
Symptoms also may include sleep problems, fatigue (tiredness), and lack of energy.
***If you experience these symptoms, call 911 immediately. The sobering truth is about 1.2 million people in the U.S. suffer heart attacks each year and many die. But many more could have survived if they got help faster. Do not postpone getting medical attention if you experience these symptoms.
Heart disease affects women of all ages -- including young women in their 20s and 30s. Implementing heart-healthy habits can help reduce your chances of getting heart disease.
Here are just a few ways you can help lower your risk of heart disease:
- Stop smoking: It increases your risk for heart disease, strokes, and other preventable diseases.
- Drink in moderation: if you drink too much alcohol, your blood pressure can go up and put you at risk for heart failure and a stroke.
- Know your numbers: Living a healthy life includes staying on top of your cholesterol, BMI, blood pressure and glucose numbers.
- Stay active: Not only will exercise boost your energy level, it's also excellent for your heart.
- Eat a balanced diet: Pick foods low in saturated and trans fats, cholesterol, sodium, and added sugars.
Now that you're up to speed on heart disease, help spread the word. Share the Go Red for Women video and remind your friends and family about the signs and symptoms of a heart attack -- and what to do should they experience them.

Our goal is to meet your learning requirements, with a strong focus on achieving excellence in all your interactions with us.
We can deliver any classroom or online course in a private format - at your facility, ours or online, in any time zone and anywhere in the world.
Since students in your group have similar goals, we can customize and streamline your training program, which means a more relevant education and often enables us to discount the training by 10-30% or more.
