Brattleboro Reformer
Drug Take Back Day is April 27: On
Saturday, April 27th, 2013 from 10:00am-2:00pm numerous Vermont Law enforcement
Agencies, along with the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA), will host a
“Drug Take Back” Day! The focus of this Drug Take Back Day is to offer free,
safe and convenient disposal for unused prescription medications. Over 26 sites
throughout Vermont will be open to the public and offer proper disposal of
prescription medications. Participants will not be asked any questions about
their medical health or other personal information. The public is asked to use
this day to clear their homes of unwanted medications. Flushing medications are
not a recommended method of disposal. FMI: www.vsp.vermont.gov
Springfield
Biomass Plant Gets Permit: The proposed 35-megawatt North
Springfield wood-fired power plant received an air permit from the state April
19, which the state said would include state-of-the-art pollution control
equipment. Rutland Herald, 4/20/13
Vermonters to Pay More for Gas and Diesel Soon: On Wednesday, members of the House and Senate reached agreement on a
compromise transportation bill. It covers three years, and will raise the
effective gas tax by 6 cents this May, and the diesel tax by 2 cents come July.
Lawmakers say the tax is just a patch. They're looking to Washington, D.C., for
a long-term solution. Federal rates haven't changed for 21 years. Taxes
currently cost Vermonters about 45 cents per gallon of gas-- 27 cents of which
is due to Vermont. Under the new plan, that tax will go to 51 cents on every
gallon of gas. WCAX
Voice to Text Just as Dangerous to Drivers as Texting: Using voice to send text messages while driving is just as dangerous as
texting with fingers, with driver response times significantly delayed no
matter which method was used, a study released on Tuesday showed. "In each
case, drivers took about twice as long to react as they did when they weren't texting,"
Christine Yager, who headed the study, told Reuters. "Eye contact to the
roadway also decreased, no matter which texting method was used." Reuters
BC/BS of VT Opens Health Care Exchange Phone Line: Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Vermont (BCBSVT) has announced a new phone

call 1-800-255-4550 Monday through Friday 8:00am to 6:00pm for information and
help regarding the Exchange and what is means for you or your business. PressRelease

School is hosting a “Fundraising Extravaganza” to benefit school projects such

4. CHANGES AT GLIMMERSTONE PUB AND RESTAURANT
The owner of Glimmerstone has
announced the following changes to the Pub and Restaurant:
I will not be reopening the pub or casual fine dining restaurant at
Glimmerstone. I have had one year of historical data as to the
overhead costs to run Glimmerstone and although I have a great following, the
revenue is not high enough to cover the overhead.
I will be running events on the
patio and the barn and in the dining rooms, those will be advertised
shortly. The first event will be a Sunday Mothers Day Brunch where we
will take reservations and have a set price. These allow me to know how
many people I will have to be able to determine appropriate staffing and food
purchases and costs associated with those specific events.
I have had such a difficult time
making this decision as I have loved serving the public over the last year but
I do not want to get into the same situation that my predecessors have had
where they have been financially broken here. I am still going to offer
overnight accommodations and events. FMI: www.glimmerstonemanson.com or
