I had an aggressive type

of cancer and was treated

at National Life Cancer

Treatment Center at CVMC.

The staff is there to help

you get the right treatment...

and so much more. When

I learned I had cancer I was

scared stiff and apprehensive

but they prepared me by

explaining everything. They

told me what to expect and

they encouraged me to do

extra things – like Reiki,

acupuncture and nutrition

counseling to help me recover,

to get strong again. So I did.

And through the whole

treat-ment process I got centered and started to believe...I just really calmed down.

I know it’s because of those wonderful people. They are compassionate, friendly

and professional. And they know what they are doing. I put my life in their hands

and I had so much conﬁdence in what they do there, and how they do it, I just

believed

_{“This is going to work.”}

VCDR Focuses on Employment and Empowerment at Disability Awareness Day

Employment and empowerment were on people’s minds at the State House on Feb. 19 as the Vermont Coalition for Disability Rights celebrated Disability Awareness Day. About 300 members, friends and allies of VCDR gathered to spread the message: “Empower People with Disabilities: It’s Only Right(s).”

Lt. Gov. Phil Scott kicked off the day by welcoming attendees to the Statehouse – many of whom were visiting for the first time. He shared the story of his father, who was severely injured during the World War II D-Day invasion of Normandy, France, had to have both legs amputated and was fortunate to have survived. Howard Scott went on to lead a very rich life that included getting married, having three sons and working for the state of Vermont. He is remembered, among other things, for being a consummate gentleman.

“I hope you remember my dad, what he struggled with and what he accomplished and how it relates to each and every one of you,” Scott said.

Following Scott’s welcome, various workshops were held along with a press conference about employment for people with dis-abilities. Speakers included Chester A. Finn, who in the early 1990s spent six years working in a sheltered workshop, where he made about $4 for two weeks of work. Finn, who is blind and has a developmental disability, got out of that sheltered workshop. For about 17 years, he has worked as a client advocate for the New York State Office for People with Developmental Disabilities. In 2008, Finn co-founded Community Empowerment Programs, Inc., which provides community services and educational programming for people with disabilities.

Finn has been in the national spotlight recently for advocating that President Obama include people with disabilities in his execu-tive order to raise the minimum wage on new federal contracts. People with disabilities were originally not going to be included in

the executive order, but thanks to the efforts of Finn and others, Obama changed course.

“A lot of times people forget about us,” said Finn, referring to people with disabilities, “and that work is important to us as well as to everyone. I can’t wait to get up in the morning at quarter to five when my clock goes off so that I can get to work. It’s impor-tant to have everyone have an opportunity.”

Bryan Dague of the University of Vermont-Center on Disability and Community Inclusion also shared his thoughts at the press conference. Dague provides training and technical assistance to supported employment programs and high school transition pro-grams throughout the state of Vermont.

“Nationally the number one topic in this country right now is employment,” said Dague, noting that work is really important to everyone and that people should get paid what they’re worth.

“Vermont’s been pretty progressive and fortunate to have closed down the sheltered workshops and segregated employment,” said Dague, “but nationally about 75 percent of people with intellec-tual disabilities and developmental disabilities are still in segre-gated sheltered workshops. The average pay of a sheltered work-shop is $2.50 an hour but it goes down about as low as 6 cents an hour.”

Finn gave a keynote address in the evening on Disability Awareness Day, which was enjoyed by many legislators, among others. The keynote was followed by a panel discussion featuring Nicole LeBlanc of Green Mountain Self-Advocates, George Nostrand of Vermont Psychiatric Survivors, Deaf storyteller and comedian René Pellerin, and educator Tom Van Meter.

Norwich University Elects Two New Trustees

Norwich University officials have announced the election of

two new members to the Board of Trustees - Maxine Jo Grad of Moretown, Vt., and John C. Koziol of Rockwall, Texas.

The Honorable Maxine Jo Grad is an attorney and educator who serves as vice chair of the Vermont House Judiciary Committee. A 1985 graduate of Vermont Law School, Grad attended the Snelling Center for Government’s Vermont Leadership Institute. From 1987 to 1993, Grad worked at the law firm then-named Darby, Laundon, Stearns and Thorndike in Waterbury and Stowe after practicing law in the public sector.

In 2001, Grad was elected to her first term as state representa-tive for Vermont. She now represents Duxbury, Fayston, Moretown, Warren and Waitsfield. Grad has been recognized for her work with public safety, children and youth issues, women’s health and highway safety.

Lieutenant General John C. Koziol, NU’76, retired on June 1,

2012, after a distinguished 36 year career on active duty. Prior to his retirement, he served as the Deputy Under Secretary of Defense (Intelligence) for Joint and Coalition Warfighter Support; and the Director of the Department of Defense Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance Task Force, the Pentagon, Washington, D.C.

Following retirement from the United Stated Air Force, General Koziol joined L-3 Communications, Mission Integration Division, located in Greenville, Texas. He is the Vice President, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance Systems.

“We welcome these two distinguished public servants to our board and are grateful for their contribution to the operations of Norwich University as we enter into our third century of service to our country and our community,” said retired US Army Gen. Gordon R. Sullivan ’59, chairman of the Norwich Board of Trustees.

MountainFolk Welcomes Richard Shindell

MountainFolk will present acclaimed singer/songwriter, Richard Shindell, on Sunday, March 9th at 7:30pm at the Tunbridge Town Hall. After a year’s hiatus from touring, Shindell returns to the U.S. for a short visit including what could be the most intimate concert of the ses-sion at the acoustically superb Town Hall in Tunbridge. With 10 record-ings to his credit, Shindell has penned such classics as “A Summer Wind, A Cotton Dress,” “Fishing,” “The Ballad of Mary Magdalen,” and “Are You Happy Now?”

An expatriate New Yorker now living in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Richard Shindell is a meticulous craftsman of song whose eight studio albums and two live recordings have been revered by critics and fans alike. Innovative, original and occasionally spiritual, Shindell’s songs weave tales that interchangeably champion the downtrodden, exalt the disaffect-ed or wax empathetic to those lost to

society’s fringes.

From his first record, Sparrow’s

Point (1992) to the newest album Not Far Now (2009), Shindell has

dem-onstrated a penchant for songwriting at once passionate and profound. His songs are often slowly and painstak-ingly crafted until honed to perfec-tion. Conversely, he is also capable of writing tunes that are simply clev-er and amusing.

Tickets for this concert are priced at $25 in advance and $30 at the door. Tickets are available at the South Royalton Market, the Tunbridge Store and on-line at http:// mtnfolk.org. For further information on this show and MountainFolk, please e-mail folk bloke@hotmail. com or call 802-431-3433.
