Arrest in suspicious death case

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com CASTLETON Ñ On May 19, the Castleton Police Department contacted the Vermont State Police in Rutland to request assistance with a missing person investigation.

The Castleton Police received a report of a missing adult male on Sunday night, May 18 at approximately 10:33PM, reported by a family friend.

Through the course of the initial investigation, police learned the missing male was last seen on Wednesday, May 14 at a farm located in Castleton, near his place of residence.

On May 20, detectives with the Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations along with Castleton Police officers traveled to the residence of the missing male in order to further investigate his disappearance. The continued investigation revealed information that led detectives to believe that the missing male may have been the victim of homicide. Detectives subsequently took Stephen Pelletier, age 58 of Castleton, into custody in connection with this disappearance.

Pelletier had been living at the same residence with the missing male on Eaton Hill Road East in the town of Castleton, Rutland County.

A court ordered search warrant was obtained to search the property located on Eaton Hill Road East in Castleton for the missing adultÕ s remains in addition to other evidence of homicide. Upon execution of this search warrant, detectives located a body on the property.

OPEN HOUSE and MACHINERY DEMONSTRATIONS

Lincoln Volunteer Fire Dept. honored by state

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

LINCOLN Ð In honor of the efforts of Emergency Medical Services (EMS) personnel and agencies across Vermont, this yearÕ s theme for the annual EMS Week is Ò EMS: Dedicated For Life.Ó EMS Day brought together first responders from among the nearly 3,000 EMS providers along the State House lawn on May 23 as a part of National EMS Week celebrations.

Health Commissioner Harry Chen, M.D. read a proclamation honoring EMS providers and recognizing the critical role they play every day in saving lives and responding to emergencies.

The Annual EMS Award winners were recognized in a range of categories. The awards recognize outstanding dedication and service by agencies and individuals.

This yearÕ s winners: First Response Service of the Year: Lincoln Volunteer Fire Company; Ambulance Service of the Year: Richmond Rescue; Basic Life Support Provider of the Year: Mariah Whitcomb of Thetford Fire Department; Advanced Life Support Provider of the Year: Leslie Lindquist of St. MichaelÕ s College Rescue; and EMS Educator of the Year: William Mapes of Regional Ambulance.

Many of the 2,600 EMS personnel statewide are volunteers who serve as first responders and with ambulance services in nearly every corner of the state. Ò The rural nature of our state and the relatively small size of most communities makes it one of the toughest places in the nation to offer fast, reliable and high-level EMS services,Ó said Health Commissioner Harry Chen, M.D., who worked as an emergency room physician for more than 20 years in Rutland. Ò EMS is a key component of our public health efforts and everyone associated with emergency medicine respects and appreciates the work they do.Ó CONTINUED ON PAGE 19

Saving Vermont’s Civil War past

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com Living history is alive and well in Vermont. From annual French and Indian War reenactments on Lake Champlain to a growingÑ and popularÑ Civil War encampment in Orwell, Vermonters like to dress up and play soldier, especially when it comes to educating the public about the nationÕ s heritage.

In the case of the Civil War, thereÕ s always a Vermont audience

fascinated with the war that divided a nation. Maybe the current fascination with the 19th century war has a lot to do with the disturbing signs of deep political divisions afoot, yet again, in the land.

The Hemlocks are familiar to local residents and have been seen at the Vermont Historical SocietyÕ s History Expo. They wow audiences when firing their original Civil War cannon—old no.

229—or when firing a volley from their authentic Enfield musket replicas.

Members of the non-profit Hemlocks have successfully res-

cued a piece of historyÑ in this case the Civil War relics of Sgt. William Chapin of the Third Vermont Infantry Regiment-Company A. The regiment company is the same company the Hemlocks emulate in their living history presentations.

William Chapin, from Westminter, was only 21 years old when he enlisted in the Third Vermont. He joined Company A and trained at old Camp Baxter in St. Johnsbury. He then traveled south to witness the brutality of combat at LeeÕ s Mill, Va., during the Peninsula Campaign.

Chapin, an ancestor of the late popular American singer and songwriter Harry Chapin, became a member of VermontÕ s Ò Old BrigadeÓ . Vermont regiment members that served together for the duration of the war eventually became part of the Sixth Army Corps.

Chapin became a corporal and was discharged as a sergeant after he was wounded wounded at the Wilderness and Cedar Creek both battles steeped in Vermont history with the Old Brigade seeing some of its fiercest fighting. The Cedar Creek Room at the State House commemorates that battle with the painting

by Julian Scott.

Chapin returned to Vermont, joined the Grand Army of the Republic (GAR) as well as the New Hampshire Militia. Included in this collection of his material are a tinplate photograph from his war years, his forage cap, copper name tag, sword, sword belt and cap box, corporal chevrons, discharge papers as well as his papers on his promotion to sergeant.

The public an view the Vermont Hemlock collection, on permanent display, at the Fairbanks Museum in St Johnsbury.

Betting on star power

ereÕ s an unconventional, alternative power source that probably didnÕ t come up during discussions at Middlebury CollegeÕ s energy summit two weeks agoÑ fusion energy.

Several climate-change expertsÑ here and abroadÑ have been taking a serious, second look at both thorium fission and hot fusion energy as ideal carbon-free power sources for the mid to late 21st-century. And the sources of these passively safe, nuclear powergenerating modes are not only sustainable, theyÕ re nearly infinite and right here on planet Earth.

Fusion energy has been on the minds of energy experts since the 1950s. At that time, most serious fusion experiments got underway despite attempting what often looks like an elusive goalÑ to initiate a self-sustaining thermonuclear reaction in a bottle. But each year scientists mark their successes; we are creeping closer to the big goal of a safe, sustained fusion reaction.

Fusion power scares all the typical critics, but I believe their fears are unfounded and cloaked in muddled, reactionary thinking.

Fusion employs a Ò cleanÓ power approach that eliminates most of the hot waste generated by todayÕ s uranium fission power; it is the stuff that literally fuels the stars.

Fusion power has a very promising future in the aerospace field, too. Plasma technologies learned in fusion research are the basis for advanced space thrusters now being developed. Plasma R&D will also have down-to-earth applications, too.

New plasma propulsion systems, by yielding more thrust per pound of fuel and super velocities, will make space travel cheaperÑ well, at least cheaper than todayÕ s technology.

As a result, distant planets in our solar system will be weeks, not months, away.

One promising fusion-based rocket technology is the plasma rocket. NASA researchers have been working with fusion labs, such as General Atomics, to develop the VASIMR or Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket. Sounds like something fictional boy inventor Tom Swift would have loved.

VASIMR doesnÕ t use the conventional chemical reactions of modern rockets and missiles. Instead a plasma rocket such as VASIMR uses the energy of radio wavesÑ like those that heat up your cup of coffee in a kitchen microwave ovenÑ to heat up rocket fuel (propellant). The propellant is heated to such an extreme degree by the radio waves that it transitions from hot gas to super-hot plasma, the strange fourth state of matter. Thus heated, the excited plasma particles shoot out of the rocketÕ s rear-end at extreme velocities. Such a superrocket would deliver astronauts to Mars in half, or less than half, the time of a conventional rocket. This is a serious advancement in space travel technology that is literally just around the corner.

Dr. Chang Diaz, a NASA astronaut, fusion physicist, and director of NASAÕ s Advanced Space Propulsion Laboratory in Houston, invented the VASIMR concept in 1980.

Not surprisingly, this UConn and MIT wiz kid read Tom Swift, Jr., novels at a young age. Ò In the last 30 years,Ó he said, Ò progress in fusion technology has been relentless and steady, leading to remarkable advances in plasma physics and associated technologies.

The development of VASIMR builds on these advances, providing an evolutionary path for further growth, but with exciting and immediate applications enroute.Ó When it comes to real fusion rockets, the next step beyond plasma rockets, weÕ ll see thrust levels 1,000 times more than todayÕ s chemical rockets.

With something like a magnetized target fusion engine at work, astronomers could routinely shuttle to distant Pluto in just a few weeks time to establish a serviceable, deepspace optical-radio SETI telescope array. Amazing stuff, indeed.

Now, imagine this same kind of power source harnessedÑ during the coming decadesÑ down here on terra firma and used to light our cities or keep us warm during the winter and cool during the summer. A few underground plasma-fusion power stations would eradicate the need for millions of acres of unsightly solar arrays, wind-turbine towers, and conventional power plants. Science fiction you say? Sure, if we let AmericaÕ s R&D investments and advances languish today.

Ah, what a beautiful world it could be.

Happy birthday, Pratt’s Store!

The Pratt’s Store crew: Kim Bean, Aleena Lafleur, Heather Massed, Elaine Desforges, Debbie Cram, Corey Pratt, Stacey (Pratt) Stone and Darwin Pratt. INSET: Debbie Cram’s homemade fresh pies are available on Fridays at Pratt’s Store.

lou@addison-eagle.com BRIDPORT Ñ In a world of box stores and chain eateries, Vermont has managed to retain the charm of the past with the convenience and quality of today. ThatÕ s why the 45th anniversary year of PrattÕ s Store, located at the intersections of Routes 22A and 125 in Bridport, is a big deal worth celebrating in Addison County.

Founded by Darwin Pratt in 1969, PrattÕ s Store is one of modern BridportÕ s keystones. ItÕ s hard to imagine Bridport without an establishment like PrattÕ s.

The lively general storeÑ which boasts one of the best delicatessen counters aroundÑ is woven into the fabric of the local community. ItÕ s not only a place to buy low cost fuel and food, but it’s also a social gathering place—a place to find out what’s going on and keeping up with local things.

Thanks to a little financial help from his parents Roscoe and Pat Pratt, Darwin Pratt launched the store when gasoline was 39 cents a gallon. DarwinÕ s parents were established farmers in Bridport at the time PrattÕ s Store opened.

The Pratt familyÑ among the early settlers of Bridport beginning in the 1800sÑ owned a dairy farm on land that became part of the Blue Spruce Farm. WeÕ re certain that Roscoe and Pat would be proud of what their son and grandchildren have made of the business since 1969. Ò ItÕ s hard to believe it,Ó Darwin said. Ò Just consider that the State of VermontÕ s 50-cent tax on a gallon of gasoline now is 11 cents more than the price of a single gallon of fuel on the day we opened. You could buy a three, long loaves of bread for $1. One of our best sellers back then was a six pack of Genesse Beer.Ó TodayÕ s beer favorites at PrattÕ s Store are LaBatts and Budweiser. Yes, timesÑ and tastesÑ have changed.

Pratt operates the store with his son Corey Pratt and daughter Stacey Stone. The Pratts have been community leaders for three generations; Darwin and Corey currently serve as elected justices of the peace in Bridport. Ò We started the store with four employees,Ó Darwin said, Ò incluing my dad, mom and me. Now we have 15 full- and parttime employees.Ó

With 21st-century Vermonters on the go all the time, PrattÕ s Store has evolved into an ideal store that serves Addison County customers and New York customers. When the new Lake Champlain Bridge opened a few years ago, PrattÕ s was happy to see the return of west shore friends.

So, whatÕ s the secret to the success of PrattÕ s Store? Future business men and women should take a lesson from Darwin Pratt. Ò First, you have to be nice; treat your customers like you would your family,Ó Darwin said. Ò Then, you have to be there, in the store. Finally, you have to keep a smile even on the bad days.Ó Such advice may sound simple, but you also have to possess a creative, business-oriented mind like Darwin PrattÕ s. Did we forget to mention that a lot of hard work helps, too? And there are no harder working folks than the crew at PrattÕ s Store; it makes all the difference in the customerÕ s experience. ItÕ s hard not to feel welcome at PrattÕ s Store.

And what Pratt family members wonÕ t tell youÑ they are far too modestÑ is their behind-the-scenes community efforts. Not too long ago, the store crew helped raise funds for a local resident dealing with cancer. The funds helped defray some of the medical costs. ItÕ s little things like that, that is, gestures youÕ d never see in public, that make PrattÕ s Store a real jewel in Addison CountyÕ s small-business crown.

A store with a heart, PrattÕ s Store has everything a Vermont general store should have and quite a bit more: A real country style deli (added in 2013), a full line of groceries, quality gasoline, ATM service, a superb wine selection, fresh meats, homemade baked goods created on the premises, madein-Vermont products, lottery tickets, locally grown flowerbaskets and flats, party platters to go and a new addition—catering.

PrattÕ s even hired a skilled, full-time cook, Debbie Cram, to add an authentic, consistent downhome flavor to the place. It’s hard to imagine another similar business that comes close to PrattÕ s on many levels. Ò Catering has become a big part of this business,Ó Darwin noted. Ò Whether you are looking for a meal for two or 200, we are here to help. Debbie has years of experience in the catering world and believe usÑ her food is good. SheÕ ll make anything.

She can help plan a great homemade meal.Ó With all that said, we can only add a little wish: Ò Happy birthday, PrattÕ s StoreÓ Ñ many, many more.

Pratt’s Store—yes, always friendly to Red Sox and Yankee fans especially during annual Bridport Day.

Children love Pratt’s Store for its sweets and delicious baked goods.

Swimmer Nyad delivers Middlebury commencement address MIDDLEBURY — Diana Nyad, who last year defied the odds and dangers to achieve her lifelong goal to become the first person to swim the 110 miles between Cuba and Florida without the aid of a shark cage or fins, deliver ed the 2014 Middlebury College commencement address on May 25.

A remarkable all-around athlete, Nyad set open-water records in the 1970s for speed when she swam around the island of Manhattan in under eight hours and for distance when she swam the 102.5 miles from the Bahamas to Florida. Retiring from competitive swimming at age 30, she focused on writing and broadcasting, becoming the author of three books, and reporting for such media outlets as ABC, CBS, and NPR. Nyad returned to the water at age 60. She made three attempts to swim the full distance from Havana to Key West before completing the epic journey last year at the age of 64. Ò Diana Nyad is a bold and fearless athlete whose determination is truly inspiring,Ó said Middlebury College President Ron Liebowitz. Ò Her mental strength and her belief in never giving up on her goals make her a role model for others who wish to pursue their dreams, no matter how daunting.Ó Nyad received a Doctor of Humane Letters at the CollegeÕ s commencement ceremony.

Five other distinguished men and women also received honorary degrees: Carl Douglas, Angelique Kidjo, William Kieffer III, Richard Levin, and Reuben Mark.

The Middlebury College commencement ceremony was held on the main quadrangle behind Voter Hall on College Street.

More than 5,000 family and friends attended.

Preparing for camping season

amping is a popular outdoor activity that attracts many enthusiasts year after year. Some people camp every month while others only have time for one great excursion into the wilderness each year.

This year, millions of camping trips will take place across the country.

Preparation is key to a successful camping trip. Whether campers plan to spend one night or several in the great outdoors, there are certain tips to follow to ensure your trip is as fun and safe as possible.

Gear

In order to be comfortable, stock up on camping gear. Tents, sleeping bags and other gear need not be the most expensive. Quality, moderately priced gear works well, too. With care and maintenance, camping gear can last for several years.

A tent will be your first line of defense against the outdoors. Although plenty of people prefer to sleep out under the stars, a tent is a place to avoid inclement weather and insects and have a little privacy. Your tent need not be too big, unless you plan to share it with many of your fellow campers. Since you will be spending the majority of your time outdoors, donÕ t feel pressured to buy the tent equivalent of a three-room suite. A good tent should be sturdy, weatherresistant and large enough to fit the people who will be sleeping in it during your trip.

Invest in a pad to place on the floor of the tent to shield you from the hard ground. The pad will make sleeping more comfortable. If you will be sleeping during warm-weather months, you donÕ t have to worry about an expensive sleeping bag. An average-weight one will be just fine. Don’t forget to pack a pillow.

A cooler filled with foods and drinks will tide you over for the trip. If you plan to cook, you will need to bring the ingredients for meals.

Otherwise sandwiches should suffice. Some campgrounds have grills and picnic tables available. Otherwise, you can cook hot dogs right over your open campfire.

Where to camp

Campsites may be public or private. Public campgrounds are generally funded by tax dollars and maintained by parks departments or government offices. They may be free to enter or charge a nominal fee for use. Because of the low cost involved, they may be quite popular and crowded during peak camping season.

Private campsites are run by private companies or individuals and may also feature RV hookups. In many instances, private campsites sell memberships to interested parties, which gives access to certain private areas. They may have more amenities than public campsites.

Private sites also may employ security personnel and maintenance crews to ensure the areas are clean and safe and to enforce campground rules. This may not be the case at public campsites, where conditions may be inconsistent from site to site.

An online search of both public and private campsites nearby can help you determine which option best suits you. Consider national parks, national forests and even the Army Corps of Engineers, which manages many recreational areas.

Avoid critters

Animals and insects are part of the camping experience. While they are unavoidable, there

are some measures you can take to reduce the propensity for bothersome bug bites or clever critters raiding the cooler.

Keeping a clean campsite is perhaps the most effective animal and insect deterrent. Ants and animals are attracted to food bits scattered around the site, so be sure to gather trash and dispose of it properly each day. Try not to store food on the ground. Whenever possible, keep food locked away in an airtight cooler or other container. Dry foods can be stored under lock and key in the car. Racoons, squirrels, birds, and skunks all have been known to patrol campgrounds for an easy meal. Also, you donÕ t want to lure in larger predators, such as bears or wild cats.

To avoid insects, steer clear of perfumed products. Keep lights dim at night, as bright lights attract mosquitoes and other biting bugs.

Use appropriate insect repellents to help further repel bugs.

Closer isn’t always better

Many new campers make the mistake of choosing campsites that are in close proximity to bathrooms and clubhouses and other reminders of civilization. But these areas tend to feature heavy foot and car traffic and can make for a noisy experience. To avoid the lights, sounds and bustle of too many people, stick with campsites farther off the beaten path. You may need to walk a little farther, but you will likely enjoy a more peaceful camping experience.

Plan for the wetness

Even if it doesnÕ t rain, dew is an inevitable part of camping outdoors. Warm weather with high humidity can make dew even more plentiful. Use a shower curtain or another plastic impenetrable liner beneath your tent to reduce wetness and chilliness while you sleep. Be sure to bring in clothes and remove items from your clotheslines before you retire for the night if you

donÕ t want them damp the next morning. Use tarps to cover anything that should not get wet.

Be sure to pack plenty of dry socks and changes of clothes and store them in zipper-top bags in the event clothing does get wet. Wet clothes can be uncomfortable and increase your risk for hypothermia.

Carry in and carry out

Part of the magic of camping is being able to enjoy nature and experience the great outdoors. It is crucial to protect natural landscapes as much as possible and to exercise caution around plant life. In addition, be mindful of animal habitats. What you bring to the campsite, including trash, should be removed when you are done. Do not leave a mess behind.

Camping can be an enjoyable and inexpensive vacation option. Learning the ropes and heeding some advice can make camping an enjoyable getaway year after year.

First-time camping basics

he Outdoor Foundation reports that roughly 40 million Americans go camping in a given year. Typical campers go on five camping trips per year, traveling an average of 191 miles from their home to the campground. Campers include friends on their trips 70 percent of the time, and hiking is the most popular camping trip activity.

Camping is a popular activity, but many curious would-be campers do not know where to get started. It can be tempting to purchase all of the gear needed and trek out in the woods to give it a try. But if camping is not all you expected it to be, you have just made a costly investment in a lot of equipment you are unlikely to use again.

Instead of jumping right in, first try to learn as much about camping as possible. Do your homework, learning about various camping styles and which ones you prefer. Does the idea of renting a recreational vehicle sound more inviting than sleeping in a tent? Would you prefer a campground with showers, toilets and other amenities or is roughing it in the great outdoors more appealing? Once prospective campers are able to find their camping path, they can explore all of the possibilities and give it a trial run.

Test the waters

ThereÕ s bound to be a camping enthusiast in your midst. Find a friend or family member who enjoys camping out and find out if you can join him or her on his or her next trip. Take advantage of this personÕ s supplies (you may need to purchase nominal equipment, such as a backpack and sleeping bag) and expertise. Such trips can provide some firsthand experience, and friends can offer advice on the keys to successful camping. It is generally easier to learn the ropes from someone who has experience choosing campsites and pitching tents, and this person also can offer suggestions about gear.

How rugged are you?

The definition of camping varies from camper to camper. For some, camping must include sleeping on a bedroll strewn out under the stars, while others may appreciate a few more luxuries on their camping excursions, like the running water or equipment offered at a campsite or park. Still, others do not want to leave the perks of home at home, preferring the comfortable living of a recreational vehicle. Nothing can end a camping excursion more quickly than discomfort and not enjoying the experience. It is better to figure out in advance just how rough you want things to be.

Rent before buying

Rent camping equipment to test out the gear you have in mind. This will give you an idea of everything from the sizes of tents to the type of cookware you may need. Renting is a less expensive approach for those who plan to camp sparingly.

If your first trip inspires a genuine love of camping, then you can purchase equipment.

You can always begin with the basics and then expand as you find new gear that will enhance your camping experiences, asking camping enthusiasts and experts for recommendations on everything from gear to campsites and more.

Pointers for beginners

The first time you go camping on your own

Camping is a popular pastime and an activity tailor-made for warmer weather. But beginners should learn the ropes and test their equipment before investing too much time and money. you will likely be a bit nervous. When looking for a campsite, find a level ground that is high up. You do not want to be rolling down a slope or find that the tide has come in and you’re now floating inside your tent. But choose a spot with a nearby water supply as well. You will need it for cooking and cleaning up. Water is heavy to carry, so you do not want to have to transport it too far.

Never light a fire inside of your tent. Keep the fire for cooking and warmth away from sleeping quarters for safetyÕ s sake. Carbon monoxide can build up quickly, even inside a ventilated tent. Never leave a campfire burning unattended.

A campsite with a mix of sun and shade will help you feel most comfortable. Spending several hours in the blazing sun can compromise your energy levels and put you at risk for dehydration. It is a good idea to have a way to get out of the hot sun. Overhanging tree limbs also may buffer the tent from rain.

Food storage is another factor to consider when camping. You will be outdoors where wild animals reside, and a campsite can attract anything from small rodents to larger predators. Food should always be stored in insulated coolers that are not easily opened.

Finding fun while exercising outdoors A

bundant sunshine, higher temperatures and longer days make spring the perfect time to get outside and enjoy the great outdoors. Local parks may offer a slew of outdoor recreational activities to members of the community each spring, and there are bound to be a few seasonal offerings that focus on outdoor fitness.

Taking your workout outdoors is a great way to enjoy pleasant weather and stay fit at the same time. In addition to exercise routines done at the gym, explore the following energizing outdoor activities to burn calories and soak up some springtime sun at the same time.

Hiking

A nearby park or wildlife preserve that features walking trails is a good place to begin an outdoor workout. Some parks build exercise stations into their hiking paths, enabling visitors to vary their workouts along the way. Signs may also point out particular exercises that can be done during the hike, such as lunges or squats.

Hiking is a good cardiovascular workout that is particularly beneficial when done on varied terrain. Mixing uphill and downhill portions of the trail with level ones will work the various muscles in the legs and also provide greater resistance to get the heart pumping.

Hiking yoga is a new fitness trend that melds the classic poses of yoga with the cardiovascular workout of hiking. Hikers can break up their workouts at various points by getting into yoga poses.

By doing so, itÕ s possible to burn twice the amount of calories one would in a standard yoga session. There’s also the added benefit of being outdoors, which can boost your mood.

Outdoor sports

Rev up the heart and cardiovascular system with sports you can play in the great outdoors. Eschew indoor racquetball for a game on an outdoor court.

ItÕ s easy to break a sweat and enjoy a good workout when a game of hoops is taken outdoors. Many parks include basketball courts where a few players can square off against one another.

Pickup football or baseball is another way to enjoy physical activity outdoors, especially for those who may not be gym hounds.

Both sports provide a cardiovascular workout while building muscle. When players are engrossed in the game, they may not realize they’re having fun and getting fit at the same time.

Cycling

Use the warm weather as an excuse to take your workout outdoors.

Major cities across the United States, including New York, Denver, Washington, D.C. and Minneapolis, now boast bike-sharing programs. Calories burned while biking vary depending on the length and intensity of a ride, but cycling is often great exercise.

Cycling is not only for city streets. Explore the various Ò rails to trailsÓ programs that criss-cross the country. Defunct railway lines have been turned into walking and biking paths. Some hug coastal areas and feature impressive views. Especially adventurous riders can hop on a mountain bike and take to the hills.

Jungle gym and parks workout

Use items in the park to tailor a complete workout. Park benches can serve as a workout bench where athletes can do push-ups, triceps dips and step-up exercises. Stretch on a jungle gym or use monkey bars to fit in some pull-ups.

Some parks have their own fitness zones with exercise equipment built into the design. Hop onto a rowing machine or a hydraulic-based elliptical free of cost.

Beach bounty

The beach is not just for relaxing and catching some sun. Beaches can be a great place to get a good workout as well. Swimming in the ocean against the tug of the tide and waves is quite a task.

The buoyancy of the water will prevent strain on your joints, but the resistance of the water will work your muscles harder than if you were swimming in a pool.

Running or walking in sand is tougher than doing the same activities on a packed surface. The sand offers more resistance, which will tire out your legs and provide a greater cardiovascular benefit. Carting a few children, a cooler, beach chairs, and refreshments also may qualify as a workout!

The spring is a time when many people renew their love affair with the great outdoors and take advantage of all the outdoor events and activities at their disposal. Exercising outdoors is one way to soak up some sun while enjoying some fresh air and getting healthier.

Safety tips for outdoor enthusiasts

utdoor enthusiasts typically cannot wait to get outside and make the most of a beautiful day. But in their haste to enjoy the great outdoors, men and women can easily overlook safety precautions that protect them from potential hazards.

Though itÕ s easy to get excited about a sunny day, itÕ s important for outdoor enthusiasts to take safety seriously. No matter your activity, always bring adequate sunscreen to protect your skin from the sun, and remember to bring enough water to stay hydrated throughout the day. In addition to packing sunscreen and water, outdoor enthusiasts can employ various additional safety methods depending on which activity they choose to enjoy.

Cycling

Cyclists must always be on alert for those with whom they are sharing the road. While many motorists respect cyclists, there are some who see cyclists as a nuisance, and such motorists may drive recklessly around cyclists in an attempt to scare them off the road. Cyclists are oftentimes at the mercy of motorists, so it pays to stay as attentive as possible. Never listen to an MP3 player or another music player while riding a bike. Such a distraction could prove deadly if it takes your attention away from the road. Alertness is important when cycling, as are the following precautionary measures: •Always wear a helmet and reflective clothing that makes it easy for motorists to see you.

•Obey the traffic laws.

•Always ride with traffic.

•Inspect your bicycle and address any mechanical issues before each ride.

Hiking

When the weather permits, few activities combine the benefits of physical activity with the aesthetic appeal of nature as well as hiking does. Hikers should never hike on poorly developed trails or trails that are too difficult for them to handle, and they should have at least a basic understanding of the symptoms of altitude sickness. Always share your route with friends or family members before embarking on a hiking trip. This protects you if you should get lost or injured and you need a rescue team to find you. Hikers should also pack the following supplies before hitting the trails: •Compass •Flashlight and extra batteries •Whistle and signal mirror •Map of the park that includes the trails you plan to hike •Waterproof matches •First aid kit •Blanket

Inline skating and skateboarding

Inline skating and skateboarding are popular activities for adults and children alike. But even though you may associate such activities with your childhood, that does not mean the risk of injury is insignificant. In fact, even seasoned skateboarders and veteran inline skaters have suffered broken bones or head injuries while skateboarding or skating. Proper attire is essential for skaters and skateboarders hoping to prevent injury, so be sure to wear the following gear the next time you hit the half-pipe or go skating by the boardwalk: •Helmet •Knee pads •Wrist guards •Elbow pads

Water sports

Water attracts the sun, so itÕ s imperative that anyone planning to spend ample time on or around the water take steps to protect their skin. Wear appropriate clothing and apply sunscreen with a minimum sun protection factor of 15.

Never take to the water after you have consumed alcohol.

Alcohol can dull your senses, making you less likely to recognize a dangerous situation should one present itself.

If you plan on entering the water, always enter feet first and do your best to avoid swimming alone. When you employ the buddy system while swimming, you are ensuring there is

When participating in water sports like rafting, adults and children alike should wear flotation devices at all times. someone there to help you should you begin to struggle or to alert lifeguards or other safety personnel should something go awry.

If you to plan to fish on a boat, let your loved ones staying behind on land know where you plan to fish so they can share this information with authorities if your boat has problems or

you donÕ t return on time. While on the boat, always wear a flotation device and make sure the boat is not running as you board and dismount.

The great outdoors can be enjoyed throughout the year. But outdoor enthusiasts will have a much better time if they take the necessary steps to reduce their risk of injury.

Plan ahead for a day on the water T

he search is on to find entertaining ways to fill the steamy dog days of summer. After days spent swimming in the pool or at the beach, adults and children alike may be looking for something new, and water parks are an ideal way to spend a summer afternoon. Such parks are not only adventurous, but they also make great ways to cool off when the mercury soars. As with any trip, preparation is necessary to make the most of your day at the water park.

•Study the weather report. Summer weather can change in an instant. One moment it may be hot and sunny, while the next moment ominous thunderstorm clouds may soak anyone still outdoors. Many water parks shut down rides when there is thunder and lightning, and the park may close early if the weather is particularly bad. Doublecheck the weather report before making the trip so that your time and money is well spent.

•Visit when the park is unlikely to be busy. Many parks are very busy during the summer, especially on the weekends when parents are not at work. So families who visit during the week might enjoy a less crowded park, which means shorter lines to get on the rides. Call ahead to inquire if any camps or large groups are scheduled to visit the park on a day you want to visit.

•Research coupons and discount codes.

Search the Internet to find out if the water park is offering any discounted tickets. Admission for a family of four can be expensive, but coupons or other discounts can cut those costs considerably. Find out if the park sells season passes, which will end up saving you money if you plan to visit the park on a regular basis. Certain amusement parks pair up with retailers and sponsors to offer discounts, so you may be eligible for discount tickets by dining out at a particular restaurant or collecting a coupon code from the back of a cereal box.

•Measure the kids before you embark.

Rides may have height restrictions. It is beneficial to understand these height limits so that you will know if your kids will be able to enjoy most of the attractions. In many parks, 42 to 48 inches is the magic number.

Some parks may allow shorter, younger children to ride when accompanied by an adult.

If your kids are too small, it may be better to wait until next season when they can enjoy more of the fun.

•Get there early or very late. The parking lot at the water park may be as large as the park itself. Get to the park early to avoid

parking miles away from the entrance. Know when the water park opens and be the first one in line, which affords you the luxury of the best parking spot and first choice for rides. If youÕ re not an early bird, visit the park just before closing. Crowds may have thinned out by then and the weather may be considerably cooler.

•Wear brightly colored bathing suits.

Many water parks have strict guidelines as to which type of clothing can be worn. Bathing suits are usually a must, as they wonÕ t get caught or tangled like shirts and shorts might. Choose brightly colored or patterned swimsuits so kids will stand out in the crowds. This will make it easier to keep them in your sights. Similarly, wear something that makes it easy for your children to find you should they get lost.

•Invest in a waterproof money holder necklace. Chances are you will store many of your belongings in a locker so that you will not have to carry around too many items. But it is helpful to have a few dollars on hand for those times when lemonade or ice cream sundaes beckon, so purchase a waterproof necklace to secure and hold your money.

•Bring along a change of clothing. Sitting around in a damp bathing suit, especially on the long car ride home, can be uncomfortable. Pack a change of clothes and different shoes. This way everyone will be dry, warm and comfortable.

•Continue to apply waterproof sunscreen.

Water reflects the sunÕ s UV rays, making water park revelers highly prone to sunburn. Be sure to wear waterproof sunscreen and apply it continuously throughout the day to protect against painful skin damage.

•Study and explain the safety rules. Water parks are frequently crowded, and children who wander off can easily become lost.

As a family, go over safety precautions, including what to do in the event someone gets lost. Children can go to a park employee or a security guard and ask for help. Or suggest to your children that they go into any of the shops and tell the counter staff that theyÕ re lost. Establish a meeting spot to enable everyone to gather together in the event of an emergency.

•Plan break times. The water park may be overwhelming, especially for tired, hungry children. So take breaks for snacks, lunch and even a few moments to just settle down and catch your breath.

Water parks are a summertime staple.

With a few tips, visiting a water park with the family can be a safe and memorable outing.

Fun ways to be a fit family

besity is a global epidemic affecting people of all ages. According to The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, more than one-third of Americans are considered obese, while Statistics Canada notes about 25 percent of Canadians are obese. Being overweight or obese has been linked to cardiovascular disease, diabetes and some forms of cancer, and children who are overweight are likely to be overweight or obese adults.

While eating a diet that is low in fat and high in whole-grain fiber, vegetables and lean proteins is important, exercise remains one of the key factors in maintaining a healthy weight. However, many adults and children simply do not get enough exercise during the day. An active lifestyle is often hampered by the prevalence of digital devices or sedentary jobs that encourage more screen time than fitness time. But there are ways for the entire family to get fit. Exercising together is not just a great way for families to get healthy, but also a great opportunity to spend time together. The following are a handful of ways families can work together to incorporate more exercise into their daily lives.

•Compete in the pool. Swimming is a lowimpact activity that works many muscles in the body. Taking a dip in the pool can be both relaxing and beneficial to your health. Compete with family members to make the most

of the time spent in the water. Host relay swimming races, see how long each member of the family can tread water or create any other competitions that keep everyone in the pool moving.

•Create an outdoor obstacle course. Set up a series of obstacles in your yard and host your own triathlon. You can jump through tires, climb through tubes and scale trees.

Make it fun by having adults try to ride tricycles or pair up an adult with a child for sack races. The opportunities for fun are only hampered by your imagination.

•Go for family bicycle rides. Traverse your neighborhood or blaze new trails by riding bikes together. Young children can be strapped into trailers that are pulled behind the bike or ride in seats attached to the bike itself. This gives everyone a chance to enjoy the great outdoors and hone their cycling skills.

•Go hiking. Hiking is another fun family activity that also happens to make for great exercise. Choose a trail that may not be level and push everyoneÕ s endurance to the test.

•Stroll the beach.Walking or running on sand offers more resistance than walking on pavement. Take a stroll at the seaside. Break up the walk by collecting shells or stopping by the water to observe marine wildlife.

Make your workouts eco-friendly A

dopting a more eco-friendly lifestyle can be good for the planet and its inhabitants. A healthy planet makes for healthier humans, and many men and women who are cognizant of that fact have taken steps to reduce their carbon footprints.

One area where even the most ardent environmentalist may be able to find room to be more eco-friendly is his or her workout routine. Daily exercise regimens provide great opportunities to be ecofriendly, and the following are just a handful of ways for active men and women to make their workouts more beneficial for the environment.

•Embrace the great outdoors. That treadmill in the basement or your local gym might be your best friend when the weather outside is frightful, but once the mercury has risen, why not run your laps or do your hiking in the great outdoors? Running or hiking on local trails will decrease your energy consumption and, so long as you exercise when the sun is out, increase your bodyÕ s vitamin

D intake. ThatÕ s a considerable benefit, as vitamin D can help to maintain strong bones and fortify your immune system. Vitamin D can also help men and women reduce their risk for various ailments, including rheumatoid arthritis and cancer.

•Buy a reusable water bottle. Perhaps the easiest of all eco-friendly adjustments to your workout routine, using a reusable water bottle instead of a plastic water bottle you discard after each workout is also one of the most overlooked ways to make a workout routine more ecoconscious. A refillable water bottle you use every day is much less wasteful than purchasing a plastic water bottle that will end up in the trash, and eventually in a landfill, once you finish your workout.

In addition, refillable bottles are less expensive, as you only need to buy one as opposed to buying a new bottled water each day.

•Ride a bike or jog to and from the gym. Many people begin their workouts with some light cardiovascular exercise before moving on to

Exercising outdoors when the weather allows is an effective way to make a workout regimen more eco-friendly. strength training and then ultimately finishing up with some more vigorous aerobic exercise. Rather than doing your cardiovascular work at the gym, ride a bike or jog to and from the facility. This

can drastically reduce your fuel and energy consumption, and riding a bike or jogging is as effective a cardiovascular workout as running on a treadmill or using an elliptical machine.

Distracted driver causes accident

Award

Continued from page 1 EMS providers also educate people about hazards such as fall prevention for the elderly, proper car seat use for children and infants, and wearing a helmet when riding a bicycle. Ò Vermonters count on EMS as their community healthcare safety net. When people are not able to access healthcare any other way, they know that dialing 9-1-1 will bring them a responseÐ anytime and anywhere,Ó said Chris Bell, director of the Health DepartmentÕ s Office of Public Health Preparedness.

2014 First Response Service of the Year Award was presented to the Lincoln Volunteer Fire Company.

SALISBURY Ñ At 4 p.m., May 20, Vermont State Police responded to a report of a two vehicle accident with an injury on U.S. Route 7, at the intersection with Lotsawater Road, in Salisbury.

An investigation suggests that a Subaru driven by Carmen Rodriguez, 40, of Salisbury was stopped attempting to make a left turn when an unidentified vehicle directly behind her was distracted and swerved at the last moment to avoid colliding with RodriguezÕ s vehicle.

No time or space was left between RodriguezÕ s stopped vehicle and the next vehicle in traffic driven by Rondi Whitney, 54, of Brandon.

Whitney was unable to avoid the collision and rear ended the parked car causing a temporary shut-down of Route 7.

All operators were wearing their seatbelts and avoided serious injury.

Both operators were transported to Porter Hospital as a precaution but were later released.

Volunteer Spotlight: Meet Monica Collins

lou@addison-eagle.com HANCOCK Ñ Monica Collins, of Hancock, was one of 731 community members who volunteered their time during the United WayÕ s Days of Caring. Monica, who also volunteers for the Town of Hancock, the Vermont Leadership Network, the Snelling Center for Government, the Planning Commission, and is the founding member of Migrant Justice, spent

the day painting at St. MaryÕ s School.

Collins works at Langrock, Sperry and Wool and explained that she volunteers because she Ò likes doing something different and helping the community.Ó Thank you for your service, Monica!

Would you like to be a community volunteer? The United Way is looking for RSVP Bone Builders instructors.
