Solar Projects for GMP Customers: Soveren
Solar, a Westminster company, is starting spring construction on a 150-kilowatt
solar farm in North Springfield. Company founder Peter Thurrell said he is
finalizing land leases in Townshend and Westminster, and at least one other
location, for his other community solar farms. Under the community solar model,
any Green Mountain Power customer can purchase panels in the solar array and
the credit the panels generate are used to pay for the electricity that is
consumed in the customer's home or business. Note that Soveren is responsible
for the solar power project in Cavendish. Brattleboro Reformer
Tragedies Do Cause Broken Hearts: Researchers found dramatic rises in
"broken heart syndrome" in Vermont after Irene ravaged the state and
in Missouri after a massive tornado. People with broken heart syndrome --
formally called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy -- suffer a temporary enlargement and
weakening of the heart. The condition is often triggered by extreme emotional
or physical stress. For the study, a university team looked at data from nearly
22,000 people in the United States who were diagnosed with broken heart
syndrome in 2011. They mapped the cases state by state and found that Missouri
and Vermont had the highest rate of cases -- 169 and 380 per 1 million
residents, respectively. Medline Plus
Hunters Question State on Deer Herd Management: A testy group of deer
hunters criticized the state for allowing too many does to be killed and at the
same time not doing enough to counter poachers. It was standing room only at
the Riverside Middle School cafeteria in Springfield for a deer herd hearing,
one of three held across the state this spring. State biologists fielded
numerous questions at the meeting, which also touched on the condition of the
state’s moose herd. Rutland Herald
State Warns of Hungry Bears: The Vermont Department of Fish and Wildlife is urging people to take down
bird feeders because hungry bears are beginning to emerge from winter
hibernation and finding there isn't any food because of the late spring.

According to the Southern Windsor/Windham Counties Solid Waste District, of
which Cavendish is a part of, Thanks to the
efforts of wine drinkers throughout the District, we have recycled over 20,000
corks - both natural and synthetic. We send the synthetic corks to Terracycle,
which has a partnership with The Naked Grape. We ship natural corks to
reCork which uses them to make cork soles for shoes. The shipping is free for
both programs so there is no cost to the District and it's one more resource
that's not going to the landfill. All District transfer stations collect
corks.
