Montpelier City Hall Arts will once again be transformed into a 1940s broadcast studio as five versatile
actors and one busy sound effects wizard bring Frank Capras classic, Its A Wonderful Life, to life in
front of a live audience on Dec. 2 and 3.
On Saturday, December
12, at 7:30 p.m., The Glenn
Miller Orchestra performs
at the Chandler Music Hall
in Randolph, Vermont.
The
Glenn
Miller
Orchestra is the most popular and sought after big
band in the world today for
both concert and swing
dance engagements.With
its unique jazz sound, the
Glenn Miller Orchestra is
considered to be one of the
greatest bands of all time.
Formed in March 1938,
one of the first iterations of the Glenn Miller
Orchestra which would later include the
likes of Tex Beneke, Marion Hutton, Ray
Eberle, Paul Tanner, Johnny Best, Hal
McIntyre, and Al Klinck soon began breaking attendance records all up and down the
East Coast. At the New York State Fair in
Syracuse it attracted the largest dancing crowd
in the citys history. The next night it topped
Guy Lombardos all-time record at the
Hershey Park Ballroom in Pennsylvania. The
Orchestra was invited by ASCAP to perform
at Carnegie Hall with three of the greatest
bands ever Paul Whiteman, Fred Waring
and Benny Goodman and created more of
a stir than any of them.
Miller was one of the most successful bandleaders of the Swing Era of the 1930s and 40s.
On October 7, 1942, Alton Glenn Miller
reported for induction into the Army and was
immediately assigned to the Army Specialist
Corps. His appointment as a Captain came
after many months of convincing the military

by H. Brooke Paige
In recent days, Governors of over 30 states
have expressed concerns with the Presidents
efforts to relocate thousands of Syrian
Refugees to America. The FBI, CIA, NSA
and Military Intelligence have all warned that
it is currently impossible to properly vet
these migrants from Syria, Iraq, Iran and
other countries in the Middle East; as the
process to thoroughly investigate their background information has broken-down
and is being overwhelmed.
Despite this dire situation, Governor
Shumlin has boisterously proclaimed
the Vermont stands ready to accept the
Syrians giving the impression that
ALL are welcome and that he actually
has the authority to shepherd these
refugees to our Green Mountain State.
None of his narrative is true. First it is
the Federal Government that decides
who is admitted and where they will be
placed the state government has virtually no say in the process and state
governors have absolutely none.
Further, sources have revealed that the
number of Syrian refugees that will
potentially be settled in Vermont is on
the order of 2 -5 a month statewide. This
is certainly a more manageable scenario than
the hundreds alluded to in the media, accomVALSANGIACOMO

appears of little concern to him. Additionally, his actions place
unwanted negative attention on the efforts of
those who work diligently to settle the handful of immigrants and refugees who are
directed to the state. Further, his actions have
helped to create unwarranted suspicions of
those immigrants who have recently settled
in Vermont.
The question for Mr. Shumlin is: instead
of wasting your energies and efforts on a
problem that is completely beyond your control, why not spend you limited remaining

Guest Opinion
at home, I say: Youre right. We have homelessness, poverty and violence. But the capacity and compassion of America is deep enough
and strong enough to address these needs.
Certainly not overnight, but definitely over
time.
Through all of this, we mustnt forget that
terrorism is intended to frighten us and incite
anger that divides us. Judging by the media
coverage and the tone of the political dialogue on social media, its working. We cannot allow this. We cannot allow them to scare
us into denying help to peaceful, law-abiding
people in need. And we cannot let them
define our values.
President Ronald Reagan frequently spoke
of America as the worlds shining city on a
hill, imagery first invoked, he noted, by a
Pilgrim seeking refuge on our shores. In his
farewell to the nation, he said that city is a
tall, proud city built on rocks stronger than
oceans, windswept, God-blessed, and teeming with people of all kinds living in harmony
and peace; a city with free ports that hummed
with commerce and creativity. And if there
had to be city walls, the walls had doors and

On Being Thankful
By G. E. Shuman
Reisss Pieces
I
By Judy Reiss
thought long and hard about whether or not I wanted to share with you
the wonderful party my children
hosted for us for our 50th wedding Anniversary And so of course, I decided
yes!
Well, it started for me when I called
my son, Tobi, to tell him I was going to get a knee replacement sometime in early November, I hoped. And instead of
being supportive, he sort of got mad! And then he told me
that I had spoiled the surprise. And then he told me that he
had planned a small family party for November 7th and that I
had to make sure that my surgery didnt interfere and now it
wasnt a surprise any more! Of course, I was surprised anyway
and I promised to make sure that my surgery didnt interfere
and that I would pretend to be surprised!
Well, I was able to schedule my surgery for November 10
and I was sure that when the 7th came I would behave and
show my surprise to everyone. I am a good Mother right? So
Malcolm and I and two of our friends, Cloe and Clint, drove
together to Hanover Center and as I got out of the car I made
sure that I would appropriately be shocked. Camden, my
12-year-old grandson came out and helped me up the steps
to their porch and sort of danced around me, which I assumed
was to be able to help me be surprised! And I have to tell you,
it worked!
We walked in the door, I took my jacket off and there was
a large cluster of people sort of around me and all of a sudden
I looked up and right in front of me was a lovely, tall young
Chinese girl. And for a millisecond I didnt know who it was.
And then it hit me, it was my wonderful granddaughter, Katie
Mei. But, but, but she lives in Vail, Colorado! And then I saw
right in back of her was Adrienne, my daughter, and her husband, Mike. And I swear to you, I actually almost fainted! And
to make it even more special, Camden took a video the whole
time. I must tell you that only once before in my 76 years has
anyone ever surprised me like that! And to be sure they could
surprise me with their visit, Adrienne continued to call me on
Thursday and Friday as she drove home from work where
she works in the operating room at Vail hospital. Not only was
I surprised, I had absolutely no idea that they could even consider coming. And that folks, was just the beginning.
Tobi, Polly, Sarah, Heidi, Rene and evidently Adrienne had
planned this party for several months. And every single friend
and family member had been invited to come and only with
a few exceptions, they were all there. And just as I got my
breath back and attempted to act like a grown-up, my brotherin-law and sister -in-law arrived and as I looked up, there was
Hayden and her wonderful husband with their 2-month-old
son in tow. I want you to know that I had just texted Hayden a
day or so ago apologizing that I probably wouldnt be able to
see the baby until spring or whenever he starts to walk. And
Senate Report:
around the limits of the same, and to oat the thing into the
Atlantic.
Feeding Southern resentment was Vermonts participation
in the underground railroad, the secret system of helping fugitive slaves escape from their masters and ee to the North
and Canada. Vermont was on the border, it served as a trunk
route north. There are still some houses in the state which have
secret passageways and trap doors that were built to hide runaway slaves.
Those interested in the anti-slavery movement during the
pre-Civil War period often were involved in the temperance
crusade. The Montpelier anti-slavery paper, Voice of Freedom, saw this relationship. The temperance and anti-slave
causes go well together. In fact, I do not know of any moral or
religious enterprise which can prosper without temperance being its companion. It was this which prepared the way for me
to be an abolitionist, and I trust it has been so with thousands
of others.
As early as 1806, the Council of Censors warned about the
problems of intoxicating liquor. No crime is, perhaps, attended with more evil consequences to society and individualism
than that of drunkenness. In proportion as this vice prevails,
the morals of old and young appear to be affected. If there be
any reformation on this head, we rejoice and are glad.
Addison County granted no liquor permits in 1843. In 1844,
former Congressman Slade, in his successful campaign for
governor, proposed local option. No licenses would be granted
in any town that did not in town meetings warned for that
purpose, pass a resolution specially requesting the county
court to grant licenses for the sale of intoxicating liquors in
that town. This was the gist of the law signed by Governor
Slade in 1844.
In 1852, the General Assembly passed a prohibition law that
required a referendum vote. With over 40,000 votes cast, statewide prohibition passed by only 521 votes. All of the counties
west of the Green Mountains favored the new law, while the
counties to the east were opposed, with the exception of Caledonia.
The organizational techniques successfully used to enact a
prohibition law were also employed in the anti-slavery movement. The Sudbury Anti-Slavery Society recommended the
use of these means which have been most effectual in removing intemperance to liberate slaves.

Project Independence answers your questions dealing with aging. This week, both questions involve
caregiver burnout. Hopefully, the answers help not only the persons asking the questions, but all caregivers who are struggling to make it through the day.
Dear Grace,
Q. Im a fulltime caregiver for my husband who has a
dementia related illness and I found your first column interesting. Im struggling with my caregiving responsibilities taking
over my whole life. How do I get some part of my life back?
Regards,
Susan
Dear Susan,
First of all, thank you for asking a question that so many
caregivers struggle with. Its critical to your role as caregiver
and to your own health to make time for yourself or you will
begin to experience burnout. Start by lining up someone to
care for your husband for a few hours, once or twice a week
or more. This can be a family member, close friend or consider utilizing Adult Day. Then make a list of your favorite
things to do and spend that free time doing something for
yourself.
Cant think of anything to do? Try some of these: make a
lunch/dinner date with friends or former co-workers, join yoga
or exercise class, spend time at the library, bowl, volunteer,
read a book, or take a class.
Its never easy to fit in time to do things for yourself; however, it is a necessity!
Dear Grace,
Q. A year ago, my husband was diagnosed with stage 3
adenocarcinoma of the lung. At first, we believed there was
hope of recovery, but after two surgeries, chemotherapy and
radiation; we learned the cancer has spread to his brain and
bones. He refuses to go into hospice care, is irritable and confused most of the time and I have to do everything for him.
