Vermont Emergency Managment
Jan 5 2012 4:42PM
Posted 34 days 9 hrs 21 mins ago
Homeowners and renters in Vermont who suffered damage or losses in floods over the past few weeks should call 2-1-1 to report that damage. 2-1-1 will record all damage information and pass along to Vermont Emerrgency Managment to assist in its efforts to recieve a federal declartion and financial help for homeowners.
VEM is currently working to estimate private property damage around Vermont to determine if the state may qualify for an Individual Assistance disaster decleration from the Federal Emergency Management Agency. 2-1-1 is an easy to remember central call point for all homeowners to report this damage. Vermont has received NO disaster declaration for individual or public assistance as yet.
The state of Vermont needs to show significant damage to private homes to qualify for an individual assistance declaration from the federal government. it is imperative that all homeowners who have damages call 2-1-1 and make a report. However, those homeowners should not expect any immediate relief or assistance when calling 2-1-1.
If you need immediate emergency assistance call 9-1-1.
211 is a program of the United Way.

Factoids
Jan 5 2012 4:44PM
Posted 34 days 9 hrs 19 mins ago
UpCycle- the process of converting retired, unwanted and no longer small elctronic devices into useable products, once again. This keeps them out of landfills. About 50 million cell phones are replaced worldwide a month and only 10% are recycled. if we recycle just a million cell phones. it would reduce greenhouse gas.
An Interesting Fact!
(Showing the benefits of UpCycling)
A human being is suppose to drinkk (8) 8oz glasses of water each day to maintain good health. this equals to 64 ounces of water per day. in 365 days this equals to 23360 Ounces per year, or 182 and a half gallons.
- 15800 is the total saved gallons per year when 1 cell phone is kept out of a landfil.
- 78.4 years is the current life span of 1 human being in the US.
- 182 and a half gallons per year x 78.4 years (the avg. life span) =14,308 gallons
Keeping (1) cell phone out of landfill provides enough clean water to sustain a human being over their entire life. Here is the kicker: over 1 billion cell phone are currently purchased a year. Hundreds of milions of other electronic devices are also purchased each year.
UpCycling is a Better Idea!

ENERGY SAVINGS AND COLLECTIONS PRESERVATON ARE KEY BENEFITS WITH NEW SKYLIGHTS AT ST. JOHNSBURY ATHENAEUM
For almost 140 years, the original metal and glass Victorian-style skylights above the Art Gallery at St. Johnsbury Athenaeum protected one of the most prized art collections in the country from the unpredictable weather of northern New England.
The Art Gallery at the Athenaeum features over 120 paintings, sculptures, and other fine works highlighting the American landscape, classical studies, and reproductions of Renaissance and Baroque masterworks. Many paintings by the Hudson River School artists are on display including Jasper Cropsey, Asher B. Durand, Sanford Gifford, and Worthington Whittredge. The most prominent painting in the Gallery is Albert Bierstadt’s mammoth 10 x 15 foot masterpiece Domes of the Yosemite, one of the most famous paintings in America.
An in-depth analysis of the condition of the skylights revealed that they were severely deteriorated to a point requiring wholesale replacement. For the past three years, the Athenaeum has been

Randonnee Rally at the Lyndon Outing Club
On Friday, February 10th, under the lights at the Lyndon Outing Club, NorthWoods will host a Randonnee Rally, open to first-time ralliers and experts alike. Randonnee comes from the French, defined as an excursion. When the word rally is added, this excursion takes on new life. A randonnee rally is the celebration of ‘traveling over the winter landscape on skis under human power rather than through the assistance of ski lifts or snow vehicles.’ Participants can sign up for either the racing class or the recreational class. Both courses will involve multiple ascents and descents, on both groomed and ungroomed surfaces. Each course will include nordic terrain, and a steeper ascent by skin and boot. Challenge your endurance, speed and rando savvy in this Friday night winter extravaganza at the Kingdom’s only night-skiing terrain. Prizes, fun and games included. Pre-registration cost $15 (by February 8th). Night-of registration costs $20 and begins at 6 pm. The rally begins at 7 pm. To register and for more details contact maria@northwoodscenter.org or call (802) 723-6551 x115.
