message stating that it is GMP's billing department. Customers with questions
about the source of a call are advised to call GMP at 1-888-835-4672. Press

• State too Tough on Gill Home Chief: The Vermont Supreme
Court has reversed some, but not all, findings of unprofessional conduct by the
former chief of a Ludlow nursing home, and has ruled the five-year license
suspension she got was too tough. Leslie Anne Whittington was issued the
suspension by a state administrative law officer who found she intervened in
patient care decisions beyond what her training should have allowed. The court
found unprofessional conduct in one case where that was alleged, but not in
another. Whittington also was accused of treating staff at the Gill Odd Fellows
Home in Ludlow too harshly, and of mishandling things like supplies and staff
schedules. The court said those things did not constitute unprofessional
conduct under state law. It called for a redetermination of the appropriate
penalty. Associated Press 10/25/13
• Black River ProduceInvesting in Local Meat Operation: In response to an increase in purchasing
locally grown meat, business partners Mark Curran and Cavendish resident Steve
Birge now want to start slaughtering Vermont-grown animals — beef, pigs, sheep
and goats — to meet the growing meat demand from customers, ranging from
families to restaurants, schools and hospitals.
The two men, who founded
Black River Produce with its ubiquitous strawberry-decorated trucks, are
gambling that Vermont-grown meat will justify a $4 million investment. Curran
says famed animal rights activist Temple Grandin has designed its new animal
handling facilities, ensuring that the animals are handling humanely, both for
the benefit of the animal and its meat.

• McDonald’s Reopens
in Springfield: The newly reconstructed McDonald’s in Springfield opened on Wednesday,
Oct. 30. Ten percent of the first day’s business was donated to the Springfield
Family Center.
• ShumlinAnnounces Major Health Care Exchange Delay: Governor Shumlim made the following
announcement on Thursday, which will result in existing health coverage from
its original Dec. 31 end date to March 31, 2014. “The
purpose of Vermont Health Connect is to simplify the process of buying
insurance for Vermonters. I won’t tolerate a situation where Vermonters go into
the holiday season worried and confused by their health care options
come January 1st. That is simply unacceptable,” the Governor said.
“Today I am taking steps to ensure that won’t happen. While thousands of
Vermonters have signed up for coverage through Vermont Health Connect, many
others have been frustrated by technology glitches. It is possible those
technology errors will be fixed in a matter of weeks, but multiple missed
deadlines and failed technology fixes in my judgment require us to implement
this plan.” VPR
