TIMBER - 2 year old. Neutered Male. Rottweiler Mix. I’m a smart, eager dog who really wants to do the right thing...I just need to know what it is. I ha ve relaxed since I have been at the shelter...it’s nice to have a predictable routine...but the staff has commented on how jumpy I am - new things really make me anxious. My behavior suggests that my background was chaotic and that I never really knew what to expect from people. So, while I am definitely not a beginner’s dog, I am a beautiful bundle of potential and could turn out to be one g reat dog for someone. MUFFIN - 1 year old. Spayed Female. Miniature Poodle Mix. I’m an adorable gal who is very timid and shy around new people and places. I hope my new family wil l take me lots of places and introduce me to new people and make me realize the happy things in life. I really enjoy getting lots of attention and hanging out with people. When I’m comfortable I’m a real cuddle bug but it may take me a while to relax and settle in . I’m a real sweetie who just needs confidence and lots of love and attention and I will bloom into a wonderful pooch. LITTLE BIT - 2.5 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Calico. My precious family had to make a sad decision to surrender me to the shelter because they had to mov e due to the flood. I arrived at the shelter with my friend Garvey. I have always been an inside kitty and really want to remain that way - the outside world is a little scary. I have also lived with other cats but please know it may take a little time for me to adjust with all that I have been through. I can be an affectionate or independent lady - it depends on the mood I may be in that day. PURSCILLA - 1 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair White & Gray Tiger. I have a reason to purr now. My three kittens and I were brought to the shelter in mid-October after we had been found in an old barn. It was getting cold and we were grateful for the warm bed and regular meals. Now that I’m spayed and my kittens adopted, I am looking forward to being spoiled...doesn’t my name sound like the name of a cat who likes to be spoi led?

It may have taken 752 days, but it waswell worth the wait to cross the newLake Champlain Bridge last week.

Built in record time (at least by 2011standards), the new bridge cost $76 mil-lion. It sports “modular” technology thatwill enable upgrades and it supports anew, high-tech fiber optic cable that willimprove Internet connections fromBurlington to Rutland. This digital infra-structure—carried by the new bridgeacross the lake—will help spur jobs in theregion in the coming years. And all indica-tions are that the new bridge will serve theregion for at least 75-80 years (or more) tocome.

At the official bridge opening Nov. 7,Vermont and New York officials—includ-ing Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) and New YorkLt. Gov. Robert Duffy (D)—as well as otherlocal leaders, deservedly praised the vari-ous parties involved in making the bridgea reality. They also rightfully thanked for-mer Gov. Jim Douglas (R) and Gov. DavidPaterson (D) for getting the ball rolling.

Now that we’re basking in the ecstacy ofthe new bridge, let’s not forget the agonyendured by local commuters and businessowners during those nightmare 752 days.The lack of a bridge took a terrible tollwith shuttered businesses and vanishedjobs in its wake.

Lisa Couture, owner of the BridgeRestaurant in Addison, located a few hun-dred yards from the Vermont entrance tothe span, was one of the early voices inmaking sure officials listened to local peo-ple.

Today, so many of our elected and ap-pointed officials have condescending atti-tudes, as if they know better when it comeswhat to eat, what to drive, even how tovote. Yet, in story after story, they demon-strate just how clueless they can be.

Couture inspired others to speak out,too.

In short order, new community leadersemerged like Lorraine Franklin. She and

others, including Rep. Diane Lanpher (D)of Vergennes, spurred public meetings thatgot officials to commit to rebuilding thebridge on the original 1929 footings—notat the Ticonderoga-Shoreham narrows asfirst thought. Our local, vocal citizenryalso spurred the move to have residents se-lect the final bridge design.

On the day the new bridge opened fortraffic, Couture reflected on the painfultimeline leading up to Nov. 7. She didn’twant any of us to forget it; we sure won’t.

“On July 3, 2009, the old Lake Cham-plain Bridge went down to one-lane trafficat 2 p.m.

“On Oct. 8, there was a public meetingheld at the Addison Central School tellingthe community that the bridge would bereopened to two-lane traffic again by theend of October.

“Then, two weeks later, on Oct. 16, thebridge closed at 1:36 p.m. to all traffic—you couldn’t even walk across it.

“On Dec. 28, the bridge was imploded—demolished—at 10 a.m.

“On Feb. 1, 2010, ferry service started.The maiden voyage with the Cumberlandtook off from Vermont shores at 5 a.m. Itwas a total of 108 days with no connectionto this corridor.

“And as of Nov. 7, 2011, opening day ofthe new bridge, it had been 752 days withno bridge.”

As we celebrate the new Lake Cham-plain Bridge let’s remember the costly sac-rifices that went into its construction.

“No pain, no gain” is a catchy phrase of-ten heard in the personal developmentfield. Well, it can now be applied to thebridge building process as well.

Thank you, Lisa, Lorraine, and Diane—and others on both sides of the lake; thankyou for being our voice during this diffi-cult process.

The long nightmare is over. We’re joinedat the bridge again.

Power to the people Iam fresh from the back doctor—whohad recommended that I go straightto a studio and do some yoga. I’ve

arrived, a not-so-fresh concise patient,barely able to walk into said yoga studio inPark City, Utah.

The Park City studio was full of yogamamas so fit and tight and Three-Way Rich(Three-Way Rich, is a term I coined thatmeans, they come from money, they mar-ried money, and if they get divorced,they’ll settle for more money; by the way, Idon’t begrudge them a cent), they probablydon’t expel gas, even when liberallysplayed in the yoga downward dog posi-tion.

I’m 44 and it’s the first time I’ve been toa yoga studio; the first time I’ve been eye-to-eye with a women who is Three-WayRich, good-looking (especially compared towhere I come from). Three-Way Richwomen. I like it.

I’m lying on the floor of the yoga studio,in such pain I can’t hear, and my vision isfoggy. Well, I don’t actually feel any pain,because I’m in shock. But I don’t realizeI’m in shock, ‘cause, shock is sneaky; ithides itself at the same time it’s hiding therest of your pain and emotions.That’sshock’s deal, and it’s a good deal—we canall thank God for it.

But the odd thing about the shock I’m inat the yoga studio is, it’s coming from whatseemed to be a minor back tweak (it oc-curred from pulling my ski tips up out ofsome moderately heavy Utah powder).Should I be in shock because of that? Yougo into shock after a car accident or from abroken femur or after cutting off your fin-ger, not from tweaking your back—shockfrom an injury you can’t see or explain?

What a blessing shock is. Can you imagine it? Your body, upon ex-

periencing severe physical and or emotion-al pain, realizes your normal everydaybody functions can’t handle it; so the bodyfreaks itself out to the point that it refusesto assimilate information. I do not under-stand the human body. I’am bedazzled byit.

Shock: one of the thousands of amazing

featuresour bodiesoffer, allfor free.

You donot wantto frigaroundwith a badback. Badneck, hip,knee, shoulder—I’m sure they’re all bodyparts that when injured can keep you fromattending the Halloween party, but, youget a bad lower back mister bubby Jones,you’re not well at all. You’re not well in theback, but more interestingly and surely,you’re not well in the head.

Here again I believe shock comes inhandy, because, the ski-tip pull injury tomy lower back didn’t even begin to loosenup for three and a half years, and the rea-son I think I was able to keep going in lifewas because I think there was a very lowlevel shock present in my body the entiretime.

For three, nearly four years, my backpained me so that I couldn’t and didn’tdrive for more than 20 minutes at a stretchwithout stopping, getting out, and stretch-ing, often right on the side of the road. Ididn’t go to the movie theatre for threeyears, and when I did, I went to my localtheatre whose owners let me lay down inback of the theatre once the movie hadstarted. I’d lay on the ground anytime,anywhere, and stretch fully, and I do that15 times a day.

Sitting was the worst thing for my back,and I rarely ate at a restaurant for thosethree and a half years, cause most of theseating in restaurants is hard, and I’dsweat bullets from the pain in my back wassending my way.

You know what? You know what? I’mlost on this entry of my weight loss story.I’m sitting here writing on this too-early-dark, fall evening, wondering how I’m go-ing to get from when I hurt my back in2000, to the point eight full years later

Shoreham man accusedin landmark bomb caseBy Lou [email protected]

PUTNEY—On Oct. 21, at appr oximately 7:40 p.m., theVermont State Police and the Putney Fir e Department r e-sponded to the Landmark College campus in Putney to in-vestigate the detonation of an explosive device. Police haveaccused Kevin Spitzner, 23, of Shoreham in the incident.

Investigation revealed that an explosive device was det-onated just east of the Bridge 2 Residence Hall on campus.

College security responded to the ar ea after hearing theblast, which was described as being as loud as a 12-gaugeshotgun blast and was heard across the campus. No one wasinjured as a result of the incident.

The State Police and Putney Fir e Department personnelspent approximately three hours on the scene collecting ev-idence and interviewing witnesses.

The device used incorporated overpressure, which in thiscase, was a closed plastic container that contained at leasttwo substances that reacted chemically producing a gas in-side the closed container.

When the pr essure became too gr eat, the container r up-tured and the explosion resulted. Had someone been nearbywhen the explosion occurred, there would have been someshrapnel risk or the possibility of chemical exposure; fortu-nately no one was close enough to be injured.

The investigation is ongoing and persons of interest havebeen interviewed. Anyone with information related to thisinvestigation that has not already spoken with the State Po-lice is asked to contact Sgt. Mike Sorensen at the BrattleboroBarracks 802-254-2382.

RUTLAND—First-year students in the Staf ford TechnicalCenter Public Safety Services Class in Rutland became nation-ally certified as trainers in the area of internet safety.

The training was pr ovided by Paul Faenza, a r etired NYPDofficer, who is a master trainer through I-SAFE and is presentlyemployed by the Black River Area Coalition. I- SAFE is thelargest and most well-known source for internet safety materi-als and training.

The train the trainer course that the students took had fourmain components; the students can offer any or all of the com-ponents in any trainings that they do in the future.

The first element was cyberbullying, which is using a com-puter to harass someone else. This is most commonly done byteens that pick on another; sometimes, like in the case that oc-curred a few years ago in Essex, where fellow students harasseda teenager to the point where he committed suicide. On the na-tional scene, a mother was indicted in a similar case, where sheallegedly harassed a classmate of her daughter until, she, too,killed herself.

The second component of the class deals with illegal down-loading and file sharing. The class had clips from stars of music

and film who explained that their work was their intellectualproperty, and then when people illegally download and fileshare, that the artists, composers and performers all suffer per-sonal financial losses.

The third area of concern is viruses, and other things that candamage or destroy computers. People who send viruses out towreak their damage on others are hard to understand; they doit for the warped enjoyment that they get by hurting people whoare strangers to them.

Hacking, identity theft and internet scams ar e all too com-mon.

The students who are now certified to provide this trainingto others ar e Vinny Venturella, Megan Barber , Kayla T emple,Bryan Raiche and Logan Clark fr om Rutland High School,Chelsea Fitzgerald fr om Mill River Union High School, BrianWard, Brandon Ellis, Emily Newton, Stephen Marcoux, and Dy-lan Goad fr om Fair Haven Union High School, Kody Baker ,Colton Benoit, and Zach Field fr om Otter V alley Union HighSchool, Aaron Hildebrand from Rutland Area Christian School,and Tyler Manning and Alison DeRoy fr om Poultney HighSchool. The students ar e now available to do pr esentations toschool groups, Boy Scouts or Girl Scouts, church youth groupsand other groups that would benefit from this program.

Moose visits Ludlow pondBy Ralph [email protected]

LUDLOW—Ludlow resident Patsy Kuntz was sittingon the deck of her South Hill home reading a book as sheenjoyed the brief summer -like weather that blanketedthe area last week.

While taking a break from her book to enjoy the sun-set, she noticed something rather lar ge moving aroundin a pond on her property.

Kuntz immediately identified the “something” as alarge, mature moose. The animal r emained in the back-yard pond long enough for Kuntz to fetch her cameraand preserve the moment in digital form.

A large moose soaks in Patsy Kuntz’s pond on South Hill in Ludlowlast week.

when I was sure the back had healed itself and I startedto lose the weight. And, why or how does a back injuryhave anything to do with weight loss nearly a decade lat-er anyway?

Well, I’ll tell you if you hang in there and let me finishthis column which was to be about the experience of do-ing yoga with a spasming back, but has turned into a lin-gering piece that includes a few thoughts on shock andhow shock freaks me out. I mean, to think that the bodyknows it should go into shock freaks me out the sameway thinking about why planes fly, or boats float, or eyessee—freaks me out.

One of the main points that this whole weight loss col-

lection of columns is meant to point out is that the bodyis most wonderful, and is the reason why I try and doeverything within my power to take care of it, and why Ilost the weight, and why if you hang in there with thesemeandering columns, you might pick up information,and or a desire, that will help you to get yourself into thebest shape you’ve been in your entire life. And now, I’llsay, not a moment too soon.

The blue barrierSomewhere—way up ther e—

Earth’s beautiful pale blue sky transi-tions to de ep blue, then to th e coalblack of outer space. Depending uponwhich source you choose to credit,this ar ea of our upper atmospher e issometimes called the “blue barrier.”

Let’s start with a question parentsof young childr en often try to tackleon the fly: Why is the sky blue?

Well, the short answer to this com-plex question is that the sky’s blue col-or is the result of scattered lightwavesin the lower atmospher e. But lightscattering doesn’t mean only that onlythe color blue is visible. There’s also the scattering of light that caus-es red sunrises and sunsets.

The phenomenon of light scattering is technically known asRayleigh scattering and the physics of it can be complex.

As it goes, this an ideal question to put to my ultimate r eferenceoracle: Van Nostrand’s Scientific Encyclopedia—a very handy tooldesigned specifically for anyone interested in science.

The encyclopedia’s board of science editors have defined the com-plexity of Rayleigh scattering in simple terms:

“As light energy increases, wavelengths at the blue end of the spec-trum, where energy is the highest, ar e scattered preferentially. Thesunlight r eaching our eyes has a high ratio of short, bluish wave-lengths compared to medium and long wavelengths, so we per ceivethe sky as being blue...”

As you rise in altitude in an air craft or spacecraft through our at-mosphere, gas molecules become fewer and fewer and so the ef fectof Rayleigh scattering of sunlight diminishes until you reach the blackof space.

Eventually, at an altitude of 40-50 miles or more above the ground,the sky deepens in color from the familiar pale blue color. It fades todeep blue, then to black—airless space.

The blue barrier transition is not well defined. And even where thesky may appear black to an aeronaut or an astronaut, it does not meanthe atmosphere has totally disappeared. Even 100 miles up, you willencounter stray atomic oxygen molecules. (These molecules can havea corrosive effect on orbiting spacecraft over long periods of time.)

Space a gencies s uch a s N ASA a nd t he E uropean S pace Agency(ESA) define the boundary of space very differently than the U.S. AirForce.

NASA defines outer space as starting at 62 miles, ESA at 74 miles,and the Air Force at 50 miles. That’s why the military pilots of the X-15 research program reaching 50 miles in altitude were awarded cov-eted astronaut wings by the Air Force while civilian (NASA) X-15 pi-lots were not considered astronauts—at least until 2005. NASA madea special exception and awarded astronaut status to three of its pilotsalmost 40 years after their suborbital achievements.

In the NASA, ESA and and Air Force examples, this “boundary” isessentially arbitrary, much like the quibbling over r edefining Plutoas a dwarf planet; in fact, harsh space-like conditions are encounteredlong before you reach an altitude of 50 miles.

Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., was a science writer at the NASA Ames ResearchCenter. He is currently involved with the NASA-JPL Solar System Ambas-sador pr ogram in Vermont and is the aer ospace education dir ector of theVermont Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, the civilian auxiliary of the U.S. AirForce.

Letters to the EditorJust blowin’ in the wind

To the editor:Wind energy does very little to reduce CO2 emissions,

because wind is variable and intermittent. When windenergy ebbs, quick-ramping gas turbines have to rampup t heir o utputs a nd w hen w ind e nergy s urges t heyhave to ramp down their outputs to maintain supplyand demand balance on the grid. This happens about100 to 200 times per day. Try driving your car that way.

Such operation is very inefficient for gas turbines re-quiring more fuel/kWh and causing mor e CO 2 emis-sions/kWh. These emissions mostly of fset the whatwind energy was meant to reduce. There are four recentstudies, based on r eal-time, quarter -hour operationsdata of the Colorado, Texas, Irish and Dutch grids, thatall prove minimal fuel and CO2 reduction due to windenergy.

Why ar e Vermont's r enewables oligar chs, such asWolfe, Blittersdorf, Shumlin, State Rep. Klein, etc., proj-ect developers, and tax-shelter financiers doing this?Because federal and state subsidies provide cash grantsand tax shelters for the top 1-2 per cent of households,while all other V ermont households and businessesfind the costs of this expensive, environmentally-harm-ful, noisy boondoggle hidden in their electric rates.

Gaz-Metro, Quebec, Canada, gets $44 million in fed-eral subsidies, plus additional state subsidies, Den-mark's Vestas provides the wind turbines, out-of-statecompanies erect the wind turbines, V ermonters get afew jobs, a huge, noisy eyesore, environmental damage,and expensive energy.

Rep. Klein, whose technical education in energy sys-tems analysis is negligible, is pushing for V ermont tohave 100 percent renewable energy by 2050; that is evenmore irrationally exuberant than the Germans.

Renewables front organizations, with benign-sound-ing names, financed by vendors, etc., invite Germans toVermont during foliage season, so they will be sur e to

come, to pontificate about how great Germany is doing.Go to the Internet and Google opposition to wind en-ergy in Germany and Denmark; there are thousands ofresponses.

Vermonters needs to vote Shulman et al. out of officebefore he leads V ermont down a slippery slope fr omwhich there will be no return. He won by a hair, he canbe ousted by a hair.

Willem PostWoodstock

Vermont energy planTo the editor:I see that the state’s new ener gy plan is all about

jobs, jobs, jobs. Jobs building new power pr ojects.Jobs rehabbing homes. Jobs, jobs and still more jobs!But wait a minute – jobs for who? Sometimes youhave to evaluate a plan by what it doesn’t say, not bywhat it says, and this plan says nothing about whowill be doing the jobs

Right now the r enewable power industry has alousy track r ecord of hiring V ermonters, especiallyqualified unionized V ermonters. They tend to hir eout-of-state firms that pay their employees less thana livable wage and even less when it comes to em-ployee benefits. Is this “the Vermont way”? Are weto p ay h igher e lectric r ates a nd h ave Vermont t axdollars go to the subsidized companies that are driv-ing the green power craze for little or no jobs for Ver-monters? The gr een they must want goes in thierpocket.

What this plan needs, and without which I andmany pro-labor Vermonters will not support it, is aguaranteed provision that the “jobs, jobs, jobs” go toVermonters, and with a preference for labor Vermon-ters . Until it says so, and more important until thelegislation and r egulation that this plan pr omptssays so, I will oppose it as just another empty polit-ical promise about job cr eation from someone withanother agenda entirely.

Let’s not “look the other way” on this one.George Clain

CASTLETON—Both the Castleton StateCollege men's and women's soccer teams fellin the NCAA Division III National Champi-onships, with the men's squad losing to Al-berus Magnus, 5-3, while the Lady Spartansfell to Amherst, 3-1.

The men's squad first hosted W orchesterState on Wednesday, notching a thrilling, 2-1 win in double-overtime, when junior Tan-ner LeCuyer converted a header on a passfrom freshman Dameon Young in the 107thminute of the second overtime. It was a greatcomeback win after Worchester State had ac-tually gotten on the board first.

The win set up a match against No. 2 seedAlbertus Magnus in Waltham, Ma., with theSpartans looking for an upset. They jumpedout on top after a goal from junior Zac Con-logue, followed by another from Bryce Kalerfor a 2-0 lead, but the lead would not holdup for long. The Eagles would come flyingback, getting a hat trick from freshman sen-

sation Lindsey Barrett and a goal and two as-sists from Stephen Zapata in the win.

The Castleton men end their season witha 13-7-2 record, while the Falcons moved to17-3-1. Spartan goal keeper Nate Koene-mann made four saves in the loss, while Do-nato Piorscafo made three saves for the Fal-cons.

The Castleton women's soccer team didnot fare better in their first round match upagainst No. 1 seeded Amherst, dr opping atough, 3-1 loss which ended the pr ogramsmost successful season ever.

The Lady Spartans had earned a spot inthe four team regional by virtue of the auto-matic bid awar ded to the champion of theNorth Atlantic Conference. It was also theirsecond consecutive trip to the national tour-nament. Pr eviously, their last trip to thetournament had been in 2005.

Amherst freshman Mel Stier took contr olof the game early , getting her team on theboard less than five minutes into the match,before making it 2-0 less than five minuteslater, and the Lady Lor d Jeffs never looked

back. Emily Little scor ed the thir d goal forAmherst.

All-NEC player Courtney Chadburnscored the lone goal for the Lady Spartans onan assist from Kelsey Lenney, and CSC goalkeeper Erika Davis had an outstanding gamein the net despite the loss, making 13 savesas Amherst out-shot CSC by a whopping 29-8.

The Lady Spartans finished the seasonwith an impr essive 17-5 r ecord, a pr ogram-best in wins, while the Lor d Jeffs remainedundefeated at 18-0. Senior Courtney Chad-burn was also named the NEC Player of theYear for the fourth consecutive season, r eg-istering seven goals and nine assists in con-ference play on the season. Head coach ChrisChapdelaine was also named NEC Coach ofthe Year.

to news writers and discuss plans for NASCAR’s Whelen All-American Racing Series at the West Haven track.

Last month, the Br unos held a town meeting-style gather-ing to introduce themselves to over 150 drivers, owners, andcrew members. The track owners ar e handling the surprisetransition with a lot of grace and professionalism; they prom-ise to both elevate the speedway and carve out a bigger week-end entertainment share of Rutland County.

The Brunos manage Bruno Enterprises which operates tow-ing services and auto r epair shops in Rutland, Castleton,Poultney and Killington. Adding a NASCAR track to the mixmay seem like a stretch, but in reality, it’s an ideal business fit.

”Today is a major milestone for me personally,” Bruno said.“I’ve traveled all over the country to race, but my roots havebeen firmly planted at Devil’s Bowl since I was young.”

Mike Br uno said he met his wife Alayne at Devil’s Bowl.“That shows you just how deep the roots are,” he quipped.

While Alayne is active in the partnership, Mike does mostof the talking.

“Our plans will focus on the r ebirth of Devil’s Bowl,” hesaid.

According to Justin St. Louis, Devil’s Bowl media and mar-keting director, the Br uno rebirth includes open-wheel, dirt-style 358-Modifieds and integrating them with the curr entcrate-engine Sportsman Modifieds, as well as gr owing theAmerican-Canadian Tour-legal Late Model division and theRenegade and Bomber support classes.

“I met with NASCAR of ficials in Florida and our manage-ment team met with local competitors two weeks ago andmade g reat p rogress,” B runo n oted. “ We’re c onfident t histransition will go smoothly for everyone.”

Bruno said NASCAR is committed to local tracks like Dev-il’s Bowl, even as the or ganization’s big track races—br oad-cast v ia te levision a nd r adio—are s till a n ational a udiencedraw despite some decline in draw in recent years.

“It’s all about brand building,” Br uno said. “You’ll be see-ing more of the NASCAR brand around here.”

Bruno also said that he wants to involve mor e of the com-munity in Devil’s Bowl; he suggested that community groupsand individuals will be able to have fun trying their hand atracing during intermission. He said k-kart racing, a possiblefuture dirt near the current paved track, and even non-racingevents are being considered.

To add the sizzle to the Devil’s Bowl steak, the Br unos in-troduced the racetrack’s top stars and biggest draws—driversRon Proctor, Hunter Bates, and Jessey Mueler.

Veteran driver Proctor, who earned $10,000 in 2011 for hisinvolvement in the NASCAR Whelen series, said he was ex-cited about the new ownership. “W e will build on our suc-cess,” he said.

Teen drivers Bates and Mueler ar e in the spotlight due totheir rising successes.

“I like the new owners,” Bates said. “And Devil’s Bowl hasalways been a great place to race.”

“Just to show you how young these guts [Bates and Mueller]are,” said St. Louis, “they had to get special permission toleave school to be with us here today.”

MONTPELIER—The V ermont Depart-ment of Labor announced that the state min-imum wage will be incr easing to $8.46 perhour from $8.15 per hour on Jan. 1, 2012.Vermont’s minimum wage incr eases at thesame rate as the Consumer Price Index(CPI), as calculated in August, for the pre-ceding year, or at 5 per cent, which ever isless.

The same incr ease applies to the basicwage rate for tipped employees and themaximum tip credit allowed, as well as theState allowed rates for employer pr ovidedrooms and meals, that may be deductedfrom an employees pay. All these changesstem from the CPI incr ease of one and onetenth percent, f rom 2.7 p ercent to 3.8 per-cent.

Accordingly the basic wage rate for “ser-vice and tipped” employees will increase to$4.10 per hour from $3.95. Service or tippedemployees may include individuals work-ing in industries such as hotels, motels,tourist places, and restaurants that custom-arily and regularly receive more than $120 amonth in tips for direct and personal serv-

ice. Tipped employees’ (as well as other em-

ployees) total earnings during a pay periodmust equal or exceed $8.46 per hour. If acombination of tips and the basic wage donot meet that r equirement, the employermust make up the difference.

An employer may deduct fr om wagesearned, an allowance for meals and lodgingactually furnished and accepted. The al-lowances and the incr eased rates as of Jan.1, 2012 are as follows:

Breakfast, $2.85 dailyLunch, $3.20 daily

Dinner, $3.56 dailyFull board, $9.61 daily or $67.29 per weekNightly lodging, $3.91 dailyFull room, $23.54 weeklyFull room and board, $81.31 per week Vermont law requires all employers to
