 TRSU Board to work with VSBA on Evaluation/Retreat: At Aug. 21 TRSU board meeting Aug. 21, the board agreed to establish a four-person committee with two members from each school district for developing a job description and evaluation for the superintendent’s position. The board then approved hiring VBSA for a fee of $1,000 for their services to help develop both documents. Discussion moved to the question of the transition funds. Originally totaling $150,000, money granted to school districts as an incentive for merging, these funds have been under scrutiny with the TRSU spending approximately $60,000 without approval. In addition, both districts voted that those funds are meant for the districts themselves not TRSU expenses. The remainder, approximately $90,000, is now again up for debate as to whether they belong jointly to both GMUSD and LMHUUSD districts or solely to GMUSD. The TRSU reached out to the Vermont Agency of Education to help clarify the situation, but the opinion from two different members of the Vermont Agency of Education appear to contradict each other. In other business, the TRSU agreed to purchase a rear-entry van that could accommodate wheelchair transportation for the supervisory union. Although the van costs $37,000 with an additional $70,185 for driver expenses, overall the purchase will save $35,000 in the budget. Vt Journal

Representatives from area employers, employment agencies, and educational organizations will have tables set up and will be available to talk to prospective employees about the career opportunities and programs they offer. Windsor County and surrounding area residents of all ages and various employment levels will be able to look for full or part-time jobs and look ahead to explore careers pathways and the training needed to pursue them. This year’s Employment Fair has a dual-focus, offering opportunities for jobseekers who are unemployed and also those who are under-employed who would like to explore training, professional development opportunities, or simply find a better job.

2. 170th ANNIVERSARY GAGE WALK & TALK: On September 13, 1848, Phineas Gage left his Cavendish boarding house and walked into the annals of medical science. Approximately ¾ of a mile from where he was staying, Gage was a foreman overseeing the blasting of rock for the laying of the railroad. In a matter of seconds, Gage went from talking to his crew to being knocked off his feet when a charge was accidentally set off, sending a tamping rod through his head.

He would become the first documented case of traumatic brain injury and helped to usher in the field of neuroscience. Each year on the Sunday closest to the anniversary of the accident, the Cavendish Historical Society hosts a Gage Walk & Talk.

This year’s Walk  & Talk takes place on Sunday, Sept. 9 at the CHS Museum, Route 131 in Cavendish, VT. The program begins at 2 pm. The walk includes the location of the accident, Dr. Harlow’s home/surgery, and the boarding house where Gage was taken after his injury.

The site of the accident is approximately three quarters of a mile from the Museum and by the time other sites of interest are visited and we return to the museum, you will have walked close to 2 miles. Participants can stop at any time. Comfortable walking shoes are highly recommended.

This program is free and open to the public. For more information, please call 802-226-7807 or margocaulfield@icloud.com

3. TRANSFER STATION NEWS: COMPOSTING HAZARDOUS WASTE

Composting: You can now compost all your food scraps-including meat, dairy, bones etc.-at the Cavendish Transfer Station, which has recently contracted with Grow Compost of VT. You will see two totes next to the attendant's shack. The black one is for food scraps. The gray one is for shavings, which are used to minimize smell etc. from the compost tote. ONLY DEPOSIT IN THE BLACK CONTAINER. Grow Compost will be picking this up on a weekly basis. Note that this is for residential use only. Commercial businesses, including schools, must make other arrangements..

Household Hazardous Waste: The Southern Windsor/Windham Counties Solid Waste Management District is sponsoring free events for the collection and safe disposal of household hazardous wastes on Saturday, September 8 at the Springfield Transfer Station and on Saturday, September 15 at the Goodyear building in Windsor. Both collections run from 9:00 a.m. until 1:00 p.m.  Only residents from Andover, Athens, Baltimore, Cavendish, Chester, Grafton, Ludlow, Plymouth, Reading, Rockingham, Springfield, Weathersfield, West Windsor, and Windsor may participate. Bring in a mercury fever thermometer and receive a new digital fever thermometer.  For more information, call 674-9235 or visit www.vtsolidwastedistrict.org for a list of what to bring.

Recycling Other Objects: TerraCycle Offers a wide array of free recycling programs. You will need to register and then you will be e-mailed a label each time you are ready to ship items. They recycle everything from Oral hygiene items (toothbrushes, dental floss containers etc.) to juice pouches.  Through TerraCycle’s free recycling programs, you can earn TerraCycle points, which are redeemable for charitable gifts, TerraCycle products, or a donation to a school or non-profit of your choice.

4. CHANGE IN LIBRARY HOURS: Starting September 1, 2018 the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library will be open to the public Tuesday - Fridays 9:00 am to 6:30 pm and Saturdays from 12:00 to 4:00 pm. Mondays will now be the designated day to teach library skills classes for all Cavendish Town Elementary School K-6 students. While many different solutions were presented after a school safety audit, we believe this is the best solution for both library patrons and community members, who will enjoy the increased hours and expanded outreach programming, and students, who will be in a safe and secured library for their classes. And we will all be happy to have consistent library hours year round! See you at the library!

5. CCF ACCEPTING GRANT APPLICATIONS : The Cavendish Community Fund has announced that it is now accepting grant applications for fall 2018 awards. The deadline for applying is Oct. 1, 2018. Applications are available at www.CavendishCCCA.org under “Community Fund” and include instructions on how and where to apply.

Projects, programs, or events must directly benefit the Cavendish community in some way. A panel of local citizens reviews all applications and recommends grant awards based on the quality and feasibility of each proposal. Grants are not expected to exceed $1,000 each and will depend primarily on the number of applications received and the amounts requested.

This past spring the Community Fund made grants to Cavendish Streetscapes to put flags along Main Street in Proctorsville, to the Cavendish Elementary School for the third grade to produce its annual play, and to the Garden Committee to clean up the Svec Memorial Green. If you have a project to benefit Cavendish and need money, contact the Community Fund to discuss your idea.

For further information on applying, on eligibility, on any other aspect of the grant program, or for help completing the application, please call Peter LaBelle at 802-226-7250 or Barbara Dickey at 802-226-7187.

GMUSD Board Meeting Aug. 22: During Tuesday night’s Green Mountain Unified School District (GMUSD) board meeting, Joe Fromberger (Andover), produced an email from Brad James of the Agency of Education saying that GMUSD had qualified for the Act 46 transition grant of $150,000, but the Ludlow-Mt. Holly Unified Union School District had not. Doug McBride (Cavendish Representative) agreed with Fromberger. Board chair Marilyn Mahusky (Chester) asked that legal counsel be sought on this. Nursing cuts were revisited and the board agreed to stick with the three-nurse model. Chester Telegraph.

Be Aware of the Cute Caterpillar: The white hickory tussock moth caterpillar has a white, fuzzy body with black spots. Those spots are filled with venom, used as a defense mechanism against predators. "Little black like almost little spines that stick up, and if you touch those they will cause a stinging reaction to your skin.” The caterpillars are found mainly in wooded areas, but also in backyards. They drop down from trees and are in easy reach of children. If you get stung, contact your medical provider as often people get a rash but it can be severe depending on your skin’s sensitivity.

3. BACK TO SCHOOL TIPS FOR PARENTS OF TEENS: Another beautiful Vermont summer is coming to a close, and kids will soon be transitioning from the backyard to the schoolyard. It’s natural to want to trust your teens and give them a healthy sense of independence as they head back to school. But the truth is that while our teens deserve our trust, they also deserve our commitment to helping them stay on track and out of trouble.

It’s important that parents pay extra attention to teens’ behavior during such times of transition. Research shows that teens often literally can’t help but make bad decisions. During the teen years, the part of the brain responsible for making complex judgments is not as mature as the parts dedicated to emotion and motivation. So it’s only natural for emotions and impulses to win out over good judgment. At the same time, the incredible changes that take place in the brain during these years leave it very vulnerable to the effects of alcohol and drugs—meaning that the decisions your teens make now could impact them for life.

Constant monitoring of your teen can seem overwhelming. Instead, identify a few areas of concern that help you set clear boundaries. Here are a few tips you can use to help your teen.

1. Know your teen. Ask questions often and get to know your teen’s friends.

2. Limit access to dangers. For example, keep your alcohol under lock and key and monitor the quantity.

3. Monitor your child when you’re at work or out of town. For example, know your child’s schedule—and have her check in from each destination and when she reaches home.

Learn more helpful tips and strategies to keep your kids and community safe with ParentUp, an initiative of the Vermont Department of Health at http://parentupvt.org. If you think your teen is drinking or using drugs, find information and help at http://parentupvt.org/

Events

1. CAVENDISH PRIMARY ELECTION RESULTS: For a primary, Cavendish had a record number of voters-217. While no progressive party ballots were cast, 114 voted the Democratic platform while 103 voted Republican. Note that not everyone voted for all candidate positions, particularly where candidates were running unopposed. Cavendish Republican votes favored Keith Stern (69 votes) over Phil Scott (34) though Scott would go on to win the state’s nomination for Governor. The state Democratic choice for Governor, Christine Hallquist (32 votes) led Cavendish voters by a small margin (James Ehlers 30; Brenda Siegel 21; Ethan Sonneborn 7; and Write in 5).

In a unique situation, H. Brooke Paige will run opposite Sen. Bernie Sander (109 votes) and Cong. Peter Welch (87 votes). Under VT law, he may give his nomination to another candidate. According to his Facebook page, “Your expressions of support and encouragement have been a godsend as my one-man show worked to keep the Democrats from again embarrassing our party by ‘crowding’ the ticket and writing in Democrat candidates on the Republican ballot — preventing the Republicans the opportunity to place worthy, late arrivals on the ballot for the General Election,” he wrote. Paige has begun solicitations for the four state offices, but not the more high profile congressional races.

Ludlow Mt Holly Rejects Powden’s Spending:. On Aug. 8, the Ludlow Mt Holly Unified School District (LMHUSD), which is part of the Two Rivers Supervisory Union (TRSU), the other school district being the Green Mountain Unified School District (GMUSD) that includes Cavendish, rejected TRSU Superintendent Meg Powden’s proposal for spending more than $90,000 remaining from a state grant intended to help with the transitions resulting from the Act 46 merger that created two new districts in the Two Rivers Supervisory Union last year. The board voted instead to take its half of the money – approximately $45,500 – and decide for itself how the funds should be used. As examples of such expenses, the board discussed the costs of disposing of the Black River High School building and helping its students with the transition from the school in Ludlow to other schools. Also on the agenda was a discussion of the closing date for Black River High School. Chester Telegraph
