VeterinariansWarn of Holiday Dangers for Pets: From the VT Veterinary Medical
Association-With the holiday season rapidly approaching, many pet owners are unsure
which plants, foods, and decorations are and are not for their pets. Most
species of lilies are deadly to cats. In some cases, a small amount of pollen or
even one leaf can cause sudden kidney failure. Christmas cactus and Christmas
(English) holly can cause significant damage to the stomach and intestinal
tract of dogs and cats. Death is not usually reported, but it’s best to keep
these plants out of reach. If your pet ingests some of these plants, call your
veterinarian immediately. A holiday myth is that Poinsettias and mistletoe are
toxic to pets. These plants are not as toxic as urban legend describes. The
most dangerous foods at this time of year are chocolates and cocoa, sugarless
gum/candies containing Xylitol, fatty meat scraps, and yeast bread dough. Press

5 Cent Hike Predictedfor School Tax Rates: Gov. Peter Shumlin
advised school leaders Tuesday that Vermonters couldn’t afford back-to-back
years in which property tax rates jump significantly to accommodate growth in
school spending. If nothing changes, Tax Commissioner Mary Peterson spelled out
the tax rate consequences in a report she submitted to legislative leaders on
Tuesday.
Peterson said these factors mean the
residential tax rate that Vermont homeowners pay would need to increase 5 cents
per $100 of assessed property value to a new base rate of 99 cents. Burlington

4. GETHSEMANE CHURCH: NEW HOURS OF SERVICE
Starting this Sunday, December 1 Gethsemane Church is
moving the time of its Sunday service from 9:30am to 4:00pm. According
to Gethsemane's new priest, the Rev. Todd McKee, this decision grew out of
several conversations in the parish about meeting at a time that it more
convenient for those with children and for those who work on Sunday mornings.
This is part of an ongoing plan of renewal that started after the church
was heavily damaged two years ago during Tropical Storm Irene. FMI: www.GethsemaneChurchVT.org
