We learned, subsequent A to that well-publicized visit, that Potter then went on the road with musician Kenny Chesney and talked to him about her experience at Harwood Union. Apparently her tale was con- vincing enough that Harwood’s principal was informed last week that the school was due to receive a new baby grand piano Monday, June 25, courtesy of Chesney, at Potter’s behest. Blood Supply Emergency he American Red Cross has advised that its blood supply is low, “with half the readily Tavailable blood products on hand now than this time last year.” It says it needs all blood types, but especially O positive, O negative, B negative and A negative. It conjectures that the blood and blood products shortage is due to an early start to spring and the mid-week July 4 holiday, both of which bring fewer donors to give blood. Donna M. Morrissey, director of communications for the Red Cross Blood Services’ Northeast Division, points out that blood needs cannot be postponed, and that “we have reached an emergency situation, and the blood will not be there without the immediate response of volunteer blood donors.” The Northern New England region wants to collect 8,300 blood units over the next two weeks and is adding emergency blood drives and extending blood drive hours. “Eligible donors are asked to call . 800-733-2767 or visit redcrossblood.org to find a blood drive and to make appointments.” —all items by Bob Nuner Host an Exchange Student BRING THE WORLD TO YOUR FAMILY Exchange students from China, Nature Watch Thailand, and other countries who ust before the rains, I watched again at dusk and was able to get a flash-assisted will be attending area high schools Jphotograph of one of a “flock” of mysterious gold-and-black hovering insects.

It is Montpelier. Also, there was an error in his quote about Berlin Pond usage. It should have read, “So might we leave just a few ponds in Vermont without boats or anglers or even bird watchers along every inch of shoreline?” The Bridge regrets the errors. An opinion by David Dobbs, “The Philosophical Exemption Is A Menace,” in our June 21 issue, misstated the status of this spring’s legislative bills regarding vaccine ex- emption. In fact, the bill that first passed the Senate in March, S.199, which proposed to eliminate the philosophical exemption, got merged later on in conference with the much different bill passed in the house, H.157—and in doing so, went from banning the exemption to allowing it.
