Share the Beauty of your Community with a
Fresh Air Child This Summer
This summer, share the beauty of your community with a Fresh Air child while enjoying the pure joys
of summer in your own backyard! Thousands of volunteer host families in rural, suburban, and small town
communities across 13 states from Virginia to Maine and Canada open their hearts and homes to New York
City children from low-income communities through The Fresh Air Fund’s Volunteer Host Family Program. The
Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer experiences to more than 1.8
million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.
Host families open their homes to children who might not otherwise be able to enjoy a summer away
from New York City. Fresh Air children experience simple pleasures like running barefoot through the grass,
swimming in a cool lake, and gazing at star-filled skies. Through the eyes of Fresh Air children, families often
rediscover the beauty of their own communities.
“We love sharing the wonders of lightning bugs, sleeping in tents, and swimming in lakes with our Fresh Air
child! It helps us to slow down and enjoy the summer a bit more,” says Liz, a Fresh Air host.
For more information on how you can make summer special for a Fresh Air child, contact Wynton Marsalis
at 212-897-8942 or visit The Fresh Air Fund at www.freshair.org.

Eating History: Traditional and Modern
Wabanaki Cuisine
Join Professor Fred Wiseman at the Missisquoi Refuge in Swanton, on May 29, from 6:30 to 8 pm, as he
discusses the introduction of ancient foods and food preparation into the modern regional fare of Northern
New England. This program will examine alternative cuisine and the attempt to bring traditional Wabanaki
cooking to the Euro-American diet. Professor Wiseman will look at the partnerships and relationships bringing
ancient cuisine to chefs, restauranteurs, institutional dieticians, and academics while still maintaining respect
for Native communities and their traditions.
This evolving “locavore/Indigivore” movement contains some hopeful results for expanding traditional
diets in our area. The illustrated presentation is supported by examples of ancient crops as well as ideas for
culturally sensitive menus, food presentations, and service.

Come Dance and Create
with Island Arts This Summer
Come have fun and get a real workout at Island Arts Hip Hop and Broadway Dance Camp. It is for students
age 10 through 18 and will be held from 9 a.m. to 12 noon August 10 through 14. Learn jazz dance styles and
hip hop in a positive, hardworking, noncompetitive environment. Instructor Karen Amirault is a Vermontbased dancer, singer, choreographer, educator and owner of her own dance company. Be a part of the group
and activity of this high energy week.
Lyna Lou Nordstrom, former high school art teacher, will teach 3 creative classes. The first is Jello Prints
where imagery is created by touching textural objects to the surface after rolling it with a color. Layers
are added until the print looks finished and most participants leave with 10-15 original prints. This class is
scheduled for June 30 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. and open to ages 10 and older.
For the Nature Prints class, each participant will receive a 4” x 6” slab of Jello from which to make prints
from nature’s wonderful shapes and textures. When leaves, weeds, flower petals, vines are pressed into the
inked gelatin, all the lines will be reproduced like magic. This class will be held on July 28, 1 to 3 p.m. for ages
10 and up. Lyna Lou loves to get people excited about printmaking. Her prints have won numerous awards.
She is a juried artist with the Vermont Arts Council.
Lyna Lou’s last class is Framing Your Own Art, held on August 11, 12 and 13 from 1 to 3:30 p.m. You will
learn how to work with metal and wood frames and matting. Students should bring to the first class a photo
or artwork they want to frame in an 11” x 14” frame. The image needs to be smaller, for example 8” x 10”,
so that the mat will give the image some breathing room around it. If class members want instructions on
how to frame canvasses, that can be done as well. Equipment and tools will be available for use in class but
participants may want to start collecting their own tools so they can do more framing when the class is over.
For information on all Island Arts events and site for each, look for the Island Arts brochure at local places of
business, check out the Island Arts website at islandarts.org or call Tony Pietricola, Dean of Island Arts Academy,

Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department
Begins Open Water Angler Survey
on Lake Champlain
The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is notifying Lake Champlain anglers that it is conducting an angler
survey for the open water season. The information collected in this survey will help provide insights into fishing
effort, catch rates, species targeted, and biological information from fish harvested. The survey is underway
and will continue through October 15.
The survey is covering both Vermont and New York waters of the Main Lake basin, from the Champlain
Bridge north to Isle La Motte.
“We conducted similar angler surveys in this
manner in the 1980’s and 1990’s as part of the Lake
Champlain trout and salmon fishery restoration
program assessments, in cooperation with the
New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation and the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service,”
said Brian Chipman, fisheries biologist with Vermont
Fish & Wildlife. “Lake trout and landlocked Atlantic
Grand Isle - May 30, Isle
salmon are the major species sought in this area
North Hero - August 22
of the lake, but we are collecting data from anglers
fishing for all species to get a complete picture of the
fishery for comparison with results from the previous
surveys.”
Department survey clerks are conducting the
survey by boat on weekends and holidays, as well as
for a number of randomly selected weekdays each
week. Anglers encountered while fishing are counted
and asked to participate in a brief interview to obtain
information about their fishing trip, including the
amount of time they have been fishing, what they
are fishing for, what fish they have caught, and
their state residence. Survey clerks may also ask to
examine and measure fish caught.
Angler participation in the survey is voluntary, and
no personally identifiable information is recorded.
“We greatly appreciate the cooperation of Lake
Champlain anglers with this project,” said Chipman.
“The information they provide will contribute
significantly to the management of Lake Champlain
fisheries.”

HUDSON HEADWATERS RECEIVES
$100,000 FROM STEWART’S TO SUPPORT
NEW HEALTH CENTER IN CHAMPLAIN
Stewart’s Shops and the Dake Family have
made a donation of $100,000 to Hudson
Headwaters Health Network to support its
new health center facility in Champlain. The
funds are earmarked for x-ray equipment, a
new service that Hudson Headwaters Health
Network will add when it replaces its existing
building that houses North Country Family
Health Center (NCFH). The new facility will
be located just east of the Price Chopper
plaza, about a mile from the current health
center. Construction is expected to start this
fall.
“We are thrilled that Stewart’s and the
Dake Family have made such a major
commitment to help us bring additional
health care services to the area,” said John
Rugge, MD, Hudson Headwaters’ CEO. “The
new health center will more than quadruple
our space and enable us to add behavioral
health, x-ray and other services.”
“Stewart’s and the Dake family are
committed to making all our shops’
communities stronger,” said Susan Dake,
President of the Stewart’s Foundation.
“Assuring access to healthcare is an
important part of that strength.”
Hudson Headwaters’ medical staff at
NCFH currently cares for 4,200 people
annually, accounting for more than 11,500
patient visits. These numbers are projected
to double within the next few years. NCFH
is the only local primary care office, serving
people living in the towns of Champlain,
Altona, Chazy, West Chazy, Mooers and the
Village of Rouses Point.
Construction of the new 24,500 squarefoot health center is expected to cost about
$6 million. It will have 20 primary care exam
rooms; three behavioral health-counseling
rooms and additional space for specialty
care services. “Our goal is to expand access
to health care to better serve the area,” Rugge
said. To that end, Hudson Headwaters is
working with the University of Vermont
Network (UVMHN) to bring additional
services to the new health center. UVMHN,
formerly known as Fletcher-Allen Health
Care, includes CVPH in Plattsburgh.
Hudson Headwaters is a not-for-profit,
community-based network of 16 health
centers serving the Lake/George/Adirondack
and Glens Falls Region since 1981. Its
services include comprehensive primary
care, obstetrics and gynecology, behavioral
health, dentistry, lab and imaging.
CAR WASH
The Mooers United Methodist Church in
Mooers is holding a Car Wash on Tuesday,
June 9 from 9 am to noon at the Mooers Fire
Station. Cars will be washed for a $5 donation.
All proceeds will benefit the Building Repair
Fund.

NCCS BUDGET VOTED DOWN
Voters of the Northeastern Clinton Central
School District went to the polls on Tuesday,
May 19, to vote on the school budget. The
$27,657,517 proposed budget was defeated
because, even though the voters voted
354 yes to 252 no, the budget needed a 60
percent yes vote since the levy exceeded the
state cap.
Voters did approve the purchase of four
school buses by a vote of 272 to 220 and the
proposition to provide funds to the local
libraries was approved by a vote of 419 to 181.
Elected to the school board of education
were Alan Cardin and Robert McDonough,
each for a five year term. Alan Cardin
received 430 votes; Tammy A. Gonyo, 237
votes; Linda Gonyo-Horne, 130 votes; Robert
T. McDonough 402 votes.

SELECTBOARD NOTES
Recreation scholarships for South Hero

is that scholarships should be used for

Jeff Spees of West Shore Rd. was present
to discuss storm runoff and drainage issues
at the bend of the road near Crescent Bay
B&B. Members of the State “better back roads”
program will make a site visit on Tuesday May
12, 2015. A motion was approved to apply for
a grant pending the inspection and site visit
if a solution to the problem is identified and
a grant is deemed necessary. Mr. Spees also
asked if the speed limit can be lowered in
this area. As part of the process, the sheriff
will be asked for recommendations.
The Board discussed their goals for this
year. Road Ordinance: This issue was visited
last year and will be brought up again.
Commercial sign ordinance: This will be
brought up with the Planning Commission
(PC) when new regulations are written after
the Town Plan is finalized.
Hire a consultant to begin the process
to rehabilitate Town Hall: The Boards and
employees need to set goals and wish lists
first at a future meeting. Park and Ride: Now
that the Lavin Property is off of the table,
other locations will be identified and try to
get something going. Carol Tremble will talk
with Ruth Wallman of LCIEDC about possible
locations and Christopher Herrick will talk to
Mark Naud about reviewing the area near
the Fish and Wildlife access near Featherbed
Lane now that there is a new legal curb cut.
A motion was approved to have the
designated posting areas for notices and

A motion was approved to appoint the

The state of South Hero Rescue (SHR) was
discussed. Ray Allen will be retiring on June
9. That will leave only 1 EMT who is able to
deliver advanced care. The State District
#3 Board member is taking a wait and see
approach to see if SHR can keep its license.
Suggestions were brought up:
Get more certified members. The lack of
new members is the largest problem, and
a recruitment letter will be drafted. The
possibility of working in shifts rather than
being on call all of the time will also be
discussed. Drop the certification level From
Advanced to Basic. Ramifications of this
change are unknown at this time.
Dissolve SHR and join Grand Isle Rescue.
Not ideal, as they are also somewhat short
staffed and will have to travel a long distance
to get to a South Hero call. Also, South Hero
will have to pay as much as $30,000 a year
for the service. Hire the services and stay
in Town. This seems too expensive and not
practical.
A motion was approved to sign the Liquor
license renewal for Blue Paddle Bistro.

SCHOOL NEWS
Joe Resteghini
Principal, North Hero School
The school board and I hosted a spirited
informational meeting this past week. The
vote on the school budget is set for June 2,
and another informational meeting will take
place on June 1.
If you know a friend interested in attending
North Hero School next year for kindergarten
please direct them to our informational
meeting on June 2nd. Mrs. Parker will host
a meeting that will introduce what it will feel
like to be a parent of a kindergartner. Please
come and visit. The meeting will take place
from 5:30-6:15 pm.
On June 4, our fifth and sixth grade class
will do a day of service learning at Camp
Ta-Kump-Ta. The class will do whatever is
required of the camp; if the latrines need
swabbing, so be it. If the cookie needs
potatoes peeled, we peel. If the- well, you
get it. And realistically, I am not sure, due
to child labor laws, if we can actually swab
latrines. Raising funds and working to reach
out to a local organization has been a yearlong project and this is the culminating day,
and the chance for us to connect with the
project.
We will also be delivering a check that
will go to help support the camp and the
awesome values that they hang their hats on.

Nurse-Family Partnership
Celebrates First Graduates
Franklin County Home Health Agency is celebrating the first graduating class in
the Franklin, Lamoille, and Grand Isle County Nurse-Family Partnership Program.
Six young mothers and their children from Franklin and Lamoille County have
completed this 2 ½ year, evidence-based community health program that helps
transform the lives of vulnerable mothers pregnant with their first child.
Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) participant mothers and their babies, NFP
Home Visiting staff, and supporters from around the state will celebrate the
successful completion of this program by six young families at Church of the Rock,
Fairfax Road, St. Albans, at 4:30 pm, on Tuesday, June 2.
The graduation speaker, Dr. Breena Holmes, Director of Maternal and Child
Health, Vermont Department of Health, will address an audience of families,
friends and community supporters. Franklin County
Home Health Agency was one of Vermont’s early
adopters of this program.
Nurse-Family Partnership (NFP) is a voluntary
prevention program that provides nurse home
visitation services to low-income, first-time mothers.
Nurses begin home visits early in the mother’s
pregnancy and continue visitation until the child’s
second birthday. Nurses provide support, education
and counseling on health, behavioral and selfsufficiency issues.
NFP is one the most rigorously tested program of
its kind. Randomized controlled trials conducted over
the past 35 years demonstrate multi-generational
outcomes for families and their communities.
Mothers and children who have participated in
the program have consistently demonstrated
significantly improved prenatal health, fewer
subsequent pregnancies, increased maternal
employment, improved child school readiness,
reduced involvement in crime, and less child abuse,
neglect and injuries.
In 2012 Nurse Family Partnership was
implemented in Franklin and Lamoille counties, and
subsequently Grand Isle County, under the direction
of Franklin County Home Health Agency. Twelve
out of fourteen Vermont counties now offer this
program. Since 2012 NFP has touched the lives of
331 Vermont women who have delivered 209 babies
and those numbers are changing every day. NurseFamily Partnership serves families in 43 states and
the U.S. Virgin Islands. For more information about
Nurse-Family Partnership in Franklin, Lamoille, and
Grand Isle Counties, contact Rhonda Desrochers,

To the Editor,
On May 27, I ask
my fellow Isle La
Motte
community
members to vote yes
for our school budget.
Our school does an
exemplary job of
educating our children
and we can show our
support by voting for our budget.
These are trying times, with increasing
government mandates, decreasing funding, the
loss of our superintendent and possible loss of
our principle. We are fortunate to be blessed with
such devoted teachers, they need the communities
support to continue doing the very best for our
children. The school board has done a diligent job
pairing down the budget as much as possible without
harming the quality of education. Thank you so much
for your consideration and support.
Respectfully submitted,
Jodi Spaulding Berg

To the Editor,
Isle La Motte Taxpayers- On May 27, the Isle La
Motte School will present the revised FY 16 Budget
of $1,166,387 to taxpayers to vote on. This budget
reflex’s an estimated homestead tax rate of $1.6918.
And a 7.6% decrease from the original budget
presented in March.
The attendees at the informational meetings held
by the school board offered insight on both sides
to the issues facing the Board and the taxpayers.
We now stand at a point where the budget cannot
support any more spending cuts and continue to
provide the level of education necessary for our
students. The Board and taxpayers should now stand
together to ensure that no further compromises of
the education of our Island students occurs. To do
this we must begin the healing process and take a
step forward.
Please support The Isle La Motte School FY16
Budget and VOTE. Absentee ballots can be sent by
request, either by phone, e-mail, or fax. Please VOTE
and support our student’s future.

To the Editor,
Congratulations Mitzi! If you missed the 7 Days
articles on winners and losers of the 2015 legislative
session, our State Representative Mitzi Johnson, was
the only legislator listed in the "winner" category. "...
In her first year as a money chair, Johnson managed
to cut $53 million from state programs without
drawing the ire of left- leaning lobbyists. Employing
an open inclusive process, Johnson won the support
of the committee's four Republicans and never lost
her cool". Nice work, Mitzi!
Sherry Corbin, South Hero
To the Editor,
I am an Alburgh resident, keenly aware of the North
Hero School Board’s efforts to represent its scholars
and local taxpayers. The Board has wrestled with
aligning dollars with needs, compliance responses
to state mandates, effective use of teacher time
and efficient coordination of resources and teaching
opportunities. Additionally, they have responded
positively to public interests which have required
comprehensive explanations for specific cost outlays
and they have shown that no funds are spent before
excruciating review has been exercised. I applaud Mr.
Julow’s, Mr. Resteghini’s and North Hero’s teaching
and non-teaching personnel for their exhaustive
disclosure of school costs. Your open meetings
and spirited discussions are models of small town
democratic consensus-building in action. Alburgh
and surrounding towns are watching North Hero’s
deliberations with appreciation for the struggles you
and we face. I hope that your June 2 vote reveals your
town’s high regard for your public service efforts and
for your town’s very highest priority, the education of
your students.
Remember to Vote on June 2!
John Goodrich, Alburgh
To the Editor,
As a past graduate of North Hero School I can
honestly say that North Hero School is the most
inclusive and welcoming school I have ever seen,
and the staff there are even more so. North Hero
School may not look like much from the outside; it's
cute but small, and has a traditional school look, but
those who visit its halls know that North Hero is no
ordinary school. North Hero School is proud of its
student's work and they work hard to make sure that
every student gets a chance to shine.
The teachers at North Hero School will always
have a place in my heart because of all the wonderful
help they gave me and the time they devoted to me.
My third and fourth grade teacher was Mr.
Restighini. Many reading this editorial may know
Mr. Restighini as the current principal of North Hero
School, but before he was an amazing principal, he
was an amazing teacher. I have very fond memories
of his classes and how he made everything fun. We
used to have class cash and we would get to have
auctions for prizes with the class cash on Fridays. He
would always have a joke to tell us, and he pulled the
best pranks on April Fools Day. Mr. Restighini taught
me to never give up, and enjoy myself.
My last year at North Hero School was taught by
a new teacher, Ms. Aubin. I will be honest when I say
that in the sixth grade, I was a bit of a troublemaker.
I used to argue with the teacher a lot and make jokes
that would disturb the class (my bad.) But throughout
the whole year, Ms. Aubin was patient and kind with
me, and tried her best to teach me to be a better
person. Ms. Aubin loves art just like me, and through
it, we found a common denominator. Ms. Aubin
always did what she knew was right for me and in
the end it changed me. From Ms. Aubin I learned to
be a better person.
North Hero School is so much more than that little
building on US Route 2. It is the bond between many
amazing teachers and their students, the knowledge
that will last a lifetime, and the immortal imprint it
left on the hearts of the children who grew up within
its walls. North Hero School deserves a chance at
what its teachers want to provide for their kids, a fun
and unique education. And I for one can think of no
school more in need of a budget than North Hero.
Please support the future generations by voting
“yes” on the North Hero School budget.
Natalie Julow, 8 Grader from North Hero
To the Editor,
Common sense implies that the further tax dollars
get from the people who pay them, the less effective
and efficient the spending of those dollars becomes.
Milton Friedman, a Nobel Prize winner in Economics,
put it another way: “When a man spends someone
else’s money on someone else, he doesn’t care how
much he spends or what he spends it on…. And that’s
government for you.”
The Vermont Agency of Education (VAE),
a bureaucracy that most Vermonters consider
beyond repair, provides one cogent example of this
conventional wisdom.
VAE is basically comprised of three major
administrative layers:
1. Montpelier;
2. Local supervisory unions;
3. Local school boards.
The Federal Government, through its mandates
and programs, also obviously plays a significant role,
as does the State Legislature.
Therefore, the bureaucracies causing the majority
of the property tax problems that we Vermonters
face are the Federal Government, VEA and the State
Legislature, and, to a lesser degree, the supervisory
unions - Local school boards play little, if any part.
Being at the bottom of this organizational
tree, local school boards obviously have the least
authority/control over the taxpayer dollars that fund
the system – There’s only so much they can do. If we
as residents and voters want meaningful reductions
in property taxes, therefore, we must start by pruning
the top branches on the organizational tree, not the
roots at the bottom; Washington and Montpelier are
where the problem resides, not Isle La Motte.
The Isle La Motte School Board is in the process
of trying for a third time to get their budget passed
because so far the majority of voting taxpayers,
whether through lack of information, frustration,
private agendas, or bias, believe that the School Board
can do something to meaningfully reduce taxes. The
simple truth is that they can’t without compromising
the education of our children. The School Board has
reduced their budget as much as they can, and, in my
opinion, probably more than they should have, in the
areas over which they have authority and control.
The School Board’s responsibilities are to provide the best education they can for their children while at
the same time using the taxpayer’s dollar as efficiently as possible. I think they have done this with the latest
proposed budget. In fact, if they’ve erred at all in trying to maintain that balance it’s been at the disadvantage
of the children, not the taxpayers. Further cuts will do little if any good in lowering taxes, but will further erode
educational quality.
I would strongly urge the voters of Isle La Motte to vote in favor of the budget on Wednesday, May 27, and
thereby show support for their dedicated school board, their excellent teachers and, most importantly, their
children.

To the Editor,
Last Tuesday, May 19, 2015, between the hours of 1 and 6 pm, I had stolen from the end of my driveway
an outboard motor that was attached and locked to a small boat. The boat and motor were for sale and were
sitting on a trailer.
It is apparent that the thief cut the lock and removed the motor. This happened in broad daylight on US Rt.
2 South in Alburgh.
The motor was a 2014 Mercury, 4 stroke, 6HP, tiller model, short shaft and painted shiny black. Value is
$1700. The serial number on the motor #OR608564.
I am writing this letter so neighbors are aware of this theft and to take better precautions than I did.
I am also offering a $500.00 reward for the return of the motor or for information that will lead to an arrest
of the thief. I can be contacted on my cell phone by call or text at 802-229-8694, or call the Grand Isle County
Sheriff’s Dept. at 802-372-4482 Case #15GI0917.
Steven Riley, Alburgh
To the Editor,
At 6 pm on Tuesday, May 19, eleven North Hero citizens showed up for an innovative open school board
meeting on budget preparation. Eighteen pages of detailed spreadsheets were made available and the board
welcomed comments from the audience.
During the discussion, it became clear that:
- Staff contracts for the budget fiscal year 2016 have been signed and that regardless of the results of the
June 2 vote, the school will be fully staffed and up and running on schedule.
- Key numbers on budgeted “EDUCATION SPENDING AS DEFINED BY ACT 68” and projected tax rates for FY
2016 were not available.
The board was not conversant with the report from GISU “Joint Services Study Committee.” (This report,
among other matters suggested an “out of the box”
way to integrate the schools of Isle La Motte, North
Hero and Grand Isle and re-purpose up to eight of the
schools’ twenty five classrooms. And all of this could
be done without closing any of the three schools.
The full report can be found on the GISU web site or
directly at www.GISU.org/jointServicesStudyV2.pdf pages 26-29 are the most important. )
There will be an information meeting on Monday,
June 1, at 7 pm, prior to the June 2nd voting on the
2016 school budget, and it should be interesting.

Former North Hero school board member and
school auditor.
Young Wildlife Belong in the Wild
Watching
wildlife is enjoyable,
especially when young animals appear
in the spring, but it’s best to keep your
distance. Picking up young wildlife can do
more harm than good, according to the
Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department. It’s
also against the law.
When people see young animals
alone, they often mistakenly assume
these animals are helpless or lost, in trouble or needing to be rescued. Bringing
young wildlife into a human environment often results in permanent separation
from their mothers and a sad ending for the animal.
Handling wildlife could also pose a threat to the people involved. Wild animals
can transmit disease and angry wildlife mothers can pose significant dangers. Department scientists encourage wildlife watchers to respect the behavior of
animals in the spring and early summer, and to resist the urge to assist wildlife in
ways that may be harmful. Some helpful tips:
- Deer and moose nurse their young at different times during the day, and often
leave young alone for long periods of time. These animals are not lost. Their mother
knows where they are and will return.
- Young birds on the ground may have left their nest, but their parents will still
feed them.
- Young animals such as foxes and raccoons will often follow their parents. The
family of a “wandering” animal searching for food is usually nearby but just out of
sight to a person happening upon it. - Animals that act sick can carry rabies, parasites or other harmful diseases. Do not
handle them. Even though they do not show symptoms, healthy-looking raccoons,
foxes, skunks, and bats also may also be carriers of the deadly rabies virus. iiiiiiiii

Methods, Standards and Principles for Establishing Payment Rates
for Private Nonmedical Institutions Providing Residential Child Care
Services
Vermont Proposed Rule: 15P031
AGENCY: Human Services, Division of Rate Setting
CONCISE SUMMARY: The proposed rule replaces the inflation cap on
per diem increases with an allowed percentage increase that factors in an
allowable decrease in occupancy and applies a factor scaled to the size of
the program’s prior year allowable costs. The proposed rule also includes:
clarification that if information is specifically requested and not supplied,
it will be inadmissible during an appeal; clarification that rate adjustments
are unavailable when the sole reason for the request is the provider’s
actual costs exceed the rate of payment; removal of “extraordinary
financial relief” as a reason to appeal as this was mistakenly added to the
rules; clarification that if no timely request for reconsideration is filed the
prior decision becomes final; and changes to the definitions to include
“occupancy adjusted per diem” and revise ‘provider contract’ to ‘contract’
with grants included in the definition of “contract.”

and administer prescriptions may verify a patient applicant’s debilitating
medical condition.
Caregiver applicants will no longer be automatically excluded due to a
prior drug conviction and the Department will make determination if an
applicant has been rehabilitated on a case-by-case basis. This amendment
removes the 1,000 patient limit of registered patients who may obtain
marijuana from a registered dispensary. Dispensaries will be permitted
to deliver marijuana to registered patients and caregivers in accordance

Meet Mr. Lee by Isiah LeBlanc
On Thursday, I interviewed our Isle La
Motte Art Teacher, Mr. Lee at lunch. I learned
his first drawing was a Viking ship when he
was only 7 years old. I also asked him if he
has ever drawn a famous person before? Mr.
Lee had recently drawn Abraham Lincoln. I
asked Mr. Lee, “How did you become an art
Teacher?” Mr. Lee went to school and got
good grades, he was then able to become an
art teacher. I was very interested in Mr. Lee’s
book Animal Antics. In order to make the
book, he used drawing, and painting. Mr.
Lee’s wife also enjoys to draw. I learned that
Mr. Lee has enjoyed drawing since he was a
child, and still loves to do it as an adult.
