1. CAVENDISH RELATED NEWS
Shaw’s Under New Ownership: The 19 Shaw’s stores in the state have changed hands. Private investors led by Cerberus Capital Management closed a $3.3 billion deal last week to purchase a group of national grocery chains from their former parent company, Supervalu Inc. The acquisition will result in a different kind of experience for local shoppers, according to local management. “We’re already lowering prices quite significantly,” said Shaw’s Montpelier Manager George Murphy. “We’re excited about the changes that are going to be coming.” Customers can expect to see a banner touting the change hanging from the store any day now. Rutland Herald 

Mt. Ascutney Hospital Closing Nursing Home: The non-profit community hospital, has decided to close its skilled nursing facility effective September 1, 2013. The combination of recent Medicare cuts and a revenue growth cap set by the Green Mountain Care Board were major factors in the decision. Closure of the Skilled Nursing Facility will allow Mt. Ascutney Hospital to relocate its inpatient rehabilitation program to a new space without incurring the cost of building a new facility. It will also allow the organization to upgrade to all private, single-patient rooms throughout the Hospital. Press Release 

VT Fish & Wildlife Dept. Continues to Battle WNS in Bats: Surveys performed this winter by researchers at the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department indicate that populations of several species of bats in Vermont continue to shrink due to the devastating effects of white-nose syndrome, a fungal disease affecting cave-hibernating bats. Press Release 

VT Electricity at a Glance: A publication by the Vermont Energy Partnership (VTEP), “Vermont Electricity at a Glance,” examines Vermont’s electricity portfolio including the rates charged by each Vermont utility, the type of generation and amount of power supplied in megawatt-hours, the amount of renewable power, and (in most cases) the specific power generators and/or contracts. “Vermont Electricity at a Glance” also portrays Vermont’s statewide increase in power rates in comparison with neighboring states. In 2012, Vermont’s electricity rates rose five percent while rates stayed level or fell in New York or all other New England states (except Rhode Island, also five percent).  

2. SPRING/PLANTING/CSAs IN CAVENDISH

It’s almost April, and while we’re all a bit tired of the white stuff, lots of gardening activities are being planned. There are several projects that could use your help. Check out the following and follow up with the contact person listed:

• Gethsemane Church: While the buildings have been restored, Irene destroyed the grounds, including the memorial and community vegetable gardens. Topsoil, grass seed and volunteer help are needed. FMI: 226-7187

Little Village Farm: Located in Proctorsville, they are a CSA (Community Supported Agriculture). Don’t have time to plant or tend a garden, purchase a share and enjoy fresh produce all summer long. However, there are only two full shares and three half shares left for the 2013 CSA season so now is the time to decide. Keep in mind that if you think even a half share is too much, you can always split a half or full share with a friend or two. FMI: http://littlevillagefarm.com

• Cavendish Town Elementary School Garden: To learn more about the school’s garden and assist with the planting, tending, harvesting and processing, call 226-7439

Five gallon buckets are needed for container gardens. Call 226-7820

The Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce Home and Garden Show April 6 and 7: Will be at the Ludlow Community Center 10-4 pm.

3. CAVENDISH “PACE” PROGRAM TO DEBUT SOON

At town meeting this year, the citizens of Cavendish voted to create a Property Assessed Clean Energy (PACE) District.  PACE is a financing program designed to help qualifying homeowners invest in specified energy efficiency and renewable energy improvements to their homes through a special assessment tied to their property.

Cavendish residential property owners meeting all of the eligibility requirements may apply for financing.  If approved, the homeowner will enter into an assessment contract with the town and an assessment lien will be placed on the property.  The cost of improvements will be paid to the contractor once the project is complete.  The property owner then repays the assessment over a 10, 15, or 20 year period.  If the property owner sells the property before the assessment has been completely paid off, the obligation to pay the assessment stays with the property and is repaid by the new owner of the property, or the assessment can be paid off in full with no penalty.

Any residential dwelling - primary residence, vacation home, one to four unit owner occupied structure, manufactured home or condominium - located in a PACE district will qualify for the program.  Only homeowners who are up to date on their tax payments will qualify and there are limits on how much they may borrow.

The next step in the process is for Cavendish is to enter into an agreement with Efficiency Vermont to administer the program.  Efficiency Vermont will coordinate the paperwork and will provide the source of financing from which the loans will be made.  So for now, residents who think that they may qualify and who are considering participating should start identifying energy improvements and upgrades, and should watch the town website and the local media for further details.

This might include appropriate music, microphones, etc.  

Participants must make sure their act is prepared, so on the evening of the preview, the committee can time the act.  Each participant(s) will have 5 minutes from the introduction of their act to closure.  Based upon the preview with the committee, the order of performers will be set. Acts may include singing, playing an instrument, a dramatic reading, acrobatics, etc.  Use your imagination and entertain!

Support the Cavendish Update

The Cavendish Community and Conservation Association (CCCA) has made a decision to no longer support the Cavendish Update stating, “At the last CCCA board meeting the directors closely reviewed the current balance in our bank account and the general state of our finances, including what we have spent and what we have in over the past several years. We have supported the Cavendish Update for a number of years now and we believe that it continues to have value to the community. However, we have reluctantly determined that we can no longer afford the cost of supporting the CU based on our current finances. We have other projects that require our financial support and we have a shrinking pot of money that must be carefully allocated and conserved. We will continue our financial support of the CU through the first of June.”

It would not have been possible to continue the CU without CCCA’s support, and so heartfelt thanks for supporting it for so long.

So what should become of the CU? Is it still needed? How can it be supported?

If the CU is to continue after May 31, there needs to be funding. If you would like to support the CU or have suggestion for how to do so, please call 802-226-7807 or e-mail margoc@tds.net

Do you find the Cavendish Update and all that is associated with it-Facebook, blog, weekly e-mail updates and emergency information-useful? 

If so, please support its continuation, as current sponsorship only covers about 1/4 of the time it takes to compile it and none of the costs associated with it. You can send contributions to Margo Caulfield, PO Box 3, Cavendish, VT 05142. 

If you wish to become a sponsor, please e-mail margoc@tds.net or call 802-226-7807.
