The Mink Brook Trail in Hanover NH
Mink Brook Trail
Hanover, NH
January 5, 2022
The Hump Day Hikers/Paddlers hiked the Mink Brook Trail last Wednesday. It was pretty icy but we all used spikes and did just fine. The log bridge (above) is closed for the season-very slippery.

Next up for the Krew-Lunch at Harpoon in Windsor, VT in one of their heated huts.
New Year Luncheon-Kayak Krew
January 7, 2022
The Krew got together for a face to face luncheon at the Harpoon Brewery in Windsor, VT last Friday. We booked their newly opened larger hut for the lunch. It seats eight people comfortably and has standing room for more.
We started with a few brews, Catamount Porter for me. So good.
There are fried tomatoes under those yummy greens.
The food was excellent, the beer top notch local brews and the service was amazing. Cassandra was so patient with our group; we all arrived at different times but she kept smiling and kept bringing us our food and drink orders. She even took the group photo for us.
K-9 Officer AJ locates missing hiker in Weathersfield
Police say about a quarter mile up the trail K-9 AJ began tracking off of the trail and up a steep ravine.
They continued to track around a half-mile off of the trail and located the woman. Police say the woman was uninjured.
Weathersfield PD was assisted by members of the Ascutney Fire Department and Golden Cross Ambulance Service.
The Tasty Crumb would love to welcome you to the opening of their bakery in Weathersfield on Wednesday, January 12th.
For the mains, I went old school Fish and Chips and my friends Michelle and Trish ordered the Sweet Potato Burger. Both were excellent. (I can't remember what everyone else ordered but once the food arrived the hut got really quiet.)
As this was a New Year celebration we just couldn't pass up ordering dessert.
The special was Vanilla Bean Salted Caramel Lava Cake with Goat Cheese Cream (OMG it was delicious!)
You can book a table through the OPEN TABLE app or call 802-674-5491 and reserve a hut for yourself and family and friends. The staff delivers your food to the door and you get to enjoy a private meal in your own clubhouse.
The huts are available for 90 minutes but if you go at off times the staff lets you stay as long as you like-which the seven of us really appreciated as we had LOTS of catching up to do.

Mask Requirement for Town Buildings Extended
By Patrick Adrian and Layla Burke Hastings EAGLE TIMES STAFF reported:
The Vermont Department of Health reported 2,188 new cases of Covid-19 on Thursday (1,917 on Friday), the first time the state has reported more than 2,000 cases in a single day.
The latest data follows a trend of steep upward growth that began right before the new year. The state is now averaging more than 1,000 cases a day, compared with about 400 cases a day on Christmas, and about 750 cases a day on New Year’s Eve.
Vermont is not the only state to report a surge of the highly contagious Omicron variant. Cases have risen nearly 250% nationally over the past two weeks, according to The New York Times. Vermont’s have risen a more modest 111% by comparison, and it has the 19th-highest overall case rate.
Case data may be affected by changes in the way Vermonters are getting tested. With the rise of antigen tests, the Department of Health asks people to self-report the results, while PCR tests are automatically logged. About 18% of reported cases were “probable cases,” meaning that they were people with positive antigen tests who also have symptoms or case exposure.
By Patrick Adrian and Layla Burke Hastings EAGLE TIMES STAFF reported:
A number of Vermont towns along the Connecticut River are differing on how to halt the transmission of COVID-19 as the omicron variant has led to an unprecedented upsurge in cases.
The town of Weathersfield aims to resume precautionary health and safety policies during the ongoing novel coronavirus pandemic, deciding this week to extend the requirement to mask inside town buildings and indicating that the annual town meeting will likely be held virtually again.
The Weathersfield Selectboard voted 3-2 on Monday to extend the current masking requirement in town buildings through Tuesday, Feb. 8, when the Selectboard is next scheduled to meet and review the policy.
“We are here for the public,” said Selector Paul Tiller (Tillman), who voted to extend the mandate. “If everyone in town came to me and said they don’t want a [mask mandate] then I would vote that way. But I am erring on the side of caution.”
Tiller, who backed the original town mandate passed in late November, believes he previously contracted the novel coronavirus during a visit with Town Manager Brandon Gulnick in Martin Memorial Hall. While it is unconfirmed which individual carried the virus first, both Gulnick and Tiller appeared to report experiencing viral symptoms at the same time following an interaction.
On Monday, Tiller (Tillman) reiterated his primary concerns about the virus being the “societal impacts,” because contracting it requires individuals to quarantine, which can trigger a loss of income and staffing shortages at places of employment.
Tiller, along with Chair David Fuller and Clerk Kelly O’Brien, voted in favor of extending the mandate.
Vice-chair Mike Todd and Selector Joseph Jarvis voted against the masking extension.

Vermont reports 2,188 Covid cases and near-record hospitalization figures

Children ages 12 to 15 could soon be eligible to receive a booster shot of the Pfizer Covid-19 vaccine after the federal Food and Drug Administration authorized the shots on Monday.
That decision could open the door for thousands of Vermont children to receive a third shot of the vaccine, once the Centers for Disease Control issues its approval.
“The data shows there are no new safety concerns following a booster in this population,” the FDA said in a press release.
The FDA made the decision to expand its emergency use authorization after reviewing data from studies in Israel. On Wednesday, the CDC is expected to consider signing off on the new rules.
Federal officials authorized the Pfizer shot for children aged 12 to 15 in May. The Moderna and Johnson & Johnson vaccines are not currently approved for children.
About 75% of Vermont children ages 12 to 17 are fully vaccinated with Pfizer shots, and 82% have received at least one dose, according to state data.
Vermont Gov. Phil Scott hailed the announcement, saying that the expanded booster shot eligibility “will have an important impact and reduce disruptions.”
“I have directed the Agency of Human Services to operationalize this change in the State’s vaccine registration system as soon as final approval from CDC is granted, and we will have more details soon,” Scott said.
The FDA also approved several other new changes to vaccine guidelines Monday.
Per the changes, people fully vaccinated with the Pfizer shot would only have to wait five months before a booster instead of six.
And the agency endorsed third “primary series” shots — not boosters — for severely immuno-compromised children between ages 5 and 11.
Scott announces plan to send 500,000 free rapid tests to Vermonters
By Lola Duffort reporting for VT DIGGER:
The state is partnering with the National Institutes of Health to send 500,000 free COVID-19 rapid antigen tests to Vermonters’ homes in the coming weeks, Gov. Phil Scott announced Thursday.
The White House announced in late December that it would begin sending 500 million free rapid tests to Americans who request them sometime in January, although the program has not yet rolled out. The governor’s office said the state’s initiative would be in addition to the federal effort and would not replace existing rapid testing programs already in place in Vermont’s schools and child care facilities.
“Rapid tests are an important tool, but Americans need to be able to get them easily, quickly and far more affordably. While we wait for more details on President Biden’s rapid testing initiative, we are considering ways to simplify and expand our state’s testing system,” Scott said in a statement.
The QuickVue tests, manufactured by Quidel, will come in packs of two, according to the governor’s office. Vermonters will be able to order them online and need to provide their names and mailing addresses. Additional details about how to order will be released next week.
Other states, including Missouri, New Hampshire and New Jersey, have also attempted to deploy large numbers of free COVID-19 tests by shipping them directly to residents who ask for them. Basically, all have run into the same problem: extraordinarily high demand and far too little supply.
The announcement from the governor’s office sought to manage expectations and stressed that the initiative should be considered a pilot project. The state is gauging “how well the system works so we can continue to improve testing options and work with President Biden’s team to make future testing programs successful,” the governor said.
“As with every new program, there are going to be unanticipated challenges, the number of kits each household can order will be limited, it could take up to a week for them to be delivered, and we expect that they will go very, very quickly,” Scott added.

By Lola Duffort and Sarah Mearhoff reporting for VT DIGGER on the State of the State address last week.
Despite an uncertain pandemic present, Gov. Phil Scott returned to themes of the past in his State of the State address on Wednesday — and sounded an emphatically optimistic note about the future.
The third-term Republican has long highlighted the state’s aging demographics, high cost of living and shrinking workforce as central problems for his administration to address. And while Vermont’s hospitals are rationing care as Covid-19 case counts continue to shatter records, Scott argued that the virus could not distract the state from tackling these longstanding concerns.
“We have to learn to manage life with this virus and cannot let it derail us from addressing our most fundamental challenges: our desperate need for more people in our communities and more workers to fill the tens of thousands of jobs available in Vermont today,” the governor said during his address, which was delivered remotely for the second year in a row as the state battles yet another variant-fueled surge.
Thanks to several historic Covid-relief and infrastructure aid packages, Vermont is expected to have billions in one-time federal funding at its disposal to spend in the coming years. The windfall is widely seen by the state’s leaders as an unprecedented opportunity to address many of Vermont’s long-deferred and most vexing problems, including broadband expansions, housing investments and climate change resiliency projects.

Bitter Cold Expected on Tuesday-Severe Cold Weather Prep Tips
- Stock up on emergency essentials ahead of winter storms. Items like extra blankets, batteries, back-up power sources for cellphones, flashlights, matches, drinking water, and non-perishable food.
- Confirm your smoke and carbon monoxide detectors are battery operated and test they’re working properly.
- Fill your vehicle’s gas tank and park in a heated garage if possible. If you park outside, periodically start your vehicle during the cold weather to maintain the battery in working order. Avoid travel during frigid temperatures unless necessary. If you must travel, carry an emergency kit with items to help keep you warm in the event of a break-down.
- Be sure your wood and pellet stoves are clean and ready for supplemental use.
- If you lose power, contain your home’s heat by keeping exterior doors and windows closed, seal any drafts, and close off interior doors to rooms you aren’t using and that aren’t vulnerable to low temperatures.
- If pipes are located in cupboards, keep cupboard doors open until power is restored to help prevent freezing.
- In the event you lose power and you need to utilize candles for light, do not leave candles unattended or within reach of children or pets.
- Do not utilize open flame appliances such as a gas oven or portable grill inside your home to produce heat. These appliances produce toxic fumes, including carbon monoxide, and are combustible without proper ventilation.
- Be sure to keep children and pets inside during frigid temperatures. If you need to take your pet outside, only do so for short periods of time.
- Keep the thermostat set to at least 60 degrees.
- Insulate pipes in attics and basements as exposed pipes are susceptible to freezing.
- Wrap exposed pipes in heat tape or thermostatically controlled heat cables. Make sure to follow product and manufacturer instructions.
- Seal any cracks or holes near pipes to keep cold air out and warm air in.
- Keep interior cabinet doors open as this will help warm air circulate around the pipes.

The best way to make an appointment is through the Health Department’s website: healthvermont.gov/MyVaccine. Or call 855-722-7878 Monday – Friday, 8:15 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday, 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Vaccination Dashboard for Vermont
COVID-19 Boosters Available for Vermonters 12+You should get a booster if you are 12 or older and you received:
your Johnson & Johnson vaccine at least two months ago or
your second dose of Pfizer or Moderna vaccine at least six months ago
WHERE AND HOW TO GET YOUR BOOSTER SHOT
Getting your booster shot is FREE and easy! Visit healthvermont.gov/MyVaccine for more information, and to find a location that offers the Pfizer vaccine near you.
To register through the Health Department website:
Visit healthvermont.gov/MyVaccine
Click the “make an appointment” button.
Log in to your account. Have the information you need to log in ready.
If you are eligible by work or medical conditions, you may need to update your details in the registration system before making an appointment. Go to the Dependent/Household/Client tab and click the UPDATE DETAILS button.
Proceed with making your appointment.
If you have not previously been vaccinated through the state registration system, need assistance or speak a language other than English, call 855-722-7878.
You will not need to show proof that you’re eligible or have to be a Vermont resident, but please bring your vaccination card. You must have an appointment for the vaccine clinic.
Health officials are also reminding Vermonters that it’s time to get your annual flu vaccine, and that there is no waiting period between getting a COVID-19 booster and getting your flu shot.
COVID-19 vaccines are highly effective, and a booster dose gives your body extra protection. This is especially important as the world continues to face the Delta variant of the virus that causes COVID-19. Moderna and Johnson and Johnson boosters have not yet been authorized by the CDC, and we will keep Vermonters up to date as we await guidance.
Masks WorkIf you don't think so, next time you're in the hospital for surgery tell your doctor you don't think masks work so they should take them off during your procedure. Just saying.

Stay Safe
- Get vaccinated (and boosted!) as soon as you are eligible
- Stay home if you feel sick
- Get tested if you have any symptoms, may be a close contact, or have taken part in activities that could put you at risk, such as large gatherings
- Wash your hands regularly
Wearing a mask:
The Health Department currently recommends wearing a mask in public indoor settings, because a significant portion of the population remains unvaccinated and the more transmissible Delta variant is spreading.
Wearing a mask helps protect you and the people around you from getting or spreading COVID-19. A mask helps contain your respiratory droplets and can keep them from reaching other people. COVID-19 can spread even if a person does not have any symptoms. This is how we reduce spread of the virus and outbreaks in our communities, schools and businesses.
If you are fully vaccinated – it is still possible to get and to spread the virus, but the risk is lower. Wearing a mask in public indoor settings is recommended, but you can also assess whether a mask is needed based on a space’s size, the number of people in it, the amount of time you’ll be there, and case rates in the county and in the community.
We urge everyone to follow the prevention steps to protect yourself and the people around you, especially if:
- you have a weakened immune system or are around someone who does
- you have children who can’t yet be vaccinated
- you’re traveling to a place with high transmission and low vaccination rates
- Get vaccinated (and boosted!) as soon as you are eligible
- Stay home if you feel sick
- Get tested if you have any symptoms, may be a close contact, or have taken part in activities that could put you at risk, such as large gatherings
- Wash your hands regularly
The Vermont Health Department revised their guidelines on December 30, 2021
If you test POSITIVE (PCR, LAMP or ANTIGEN) Regardless of Vaccination Status:
Stay home and isolate for 5 days
You can leave your home on day 5 if: - You never had symptoms, or your symptoms have improved and you feel better
- AND you have had no fever for at least 24 hours without the use of medicine that reduces fevers
- AND you wear a mask around others through day 10.
- AND, when possible, it is recommended that you have two negative antigen tests performed at least 24 hours apart beginning no earlier than day 4
Health Care workers have different guidelines.
Notify your close contacts that you have tested positive.

Dr. David Baker, Superintendent Update December 17, 2021No updates
One highlight from the update:Travel Restrictions: I just wanted to repeat that it is going to be important to be vigilant when traveling over the Holidays.
If you are traveling outside of Vermont, and you are vaccinated, the VDH recommendation is to get PCR tested 3 to 5 days upon return to Vermont and to pay particular attention to symptoms.
If you experience any symptoms, then please isolate and contact your PCP or the school nurse.
For the unvaccinated, the recommendation is to stay home for 7 days upon returning to Vermont, even if you test negative in the first 3 to 5 days. If you do not test, the recommendation is to stay home for 10 days and return if symptom free.
For more information you can go to this site. If you have any questions, then please reach out to the school nurses.

COVID-19 Health and Safety rules in effect at LOH:
For entrance to all indoor Lebanon Opera House events, all patrons, staff, and volunteers must show a valid ID and proof of full vaccination – 14 days past their final vaccination shot – or proof of a negative COVID-19 test within three days of the event. Children under 12 years of age are exempt from this policy.
Face coverings will be required for everyone, regardless of age or vaccination/testing status, at all times while inside the building per City of Lebanon requirements. Masks will be provided to any guests that request them.
Proof of vaccination can be in the form of your physical vaccine card or a photo/scan of your card. We do, however, recommend patrons use the safe and secure Bindle app that’s being adopted by other arts organizations throughout the region. Download “My Bindle” via the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
Although our general policy is “no refunds/no exchanges” unless the show is cancelled or rescheduled, we acknowledge that the “rules of engagement” are changing and you may be interested in seeking a refund. In those cases you will have options to get a credit for a future show or a refund. Please contact us at boxoffice@lebanonoperahouse.org and we’ll be happy to assist you.
