Take two thick slices of Noonie's day old bread, smear Honey Cup honey mustard
liberally over both. Cover both slices with green leaf lettuce. Then on one slice only lay smoked turkey on the lettuce,
a tomato slice on the turkey and sprinkle it with shredded carrot. Then on the lay a slice of provolone cheese over the
carrot then a green pepper ring on top of the cheese. Sprikle with sprouts. Cover with the other slice, lettuce side down.
The letuce should be stuck to the bread with honey mustard so it doesn't fall off when you turn it upside down to cover the
sandwich. Slice sandwich in half with a knife. Wrap in tightly in plastic wrap. Use too much wrap. Tape on label. Tadaaa!
Weighs one pound. Costs Four Bucks.

Heineberg Center In Trouble!
Tuesday, December 05, 2006
An Urgent Appeal From Megan J. Humphrey, advocate for Senior Citizens.
Dear Folks,
I have been an advocate for the Champlain Senior Center for 25 years. My first internship upon my transferring to the Social Work Department at the University of Vermont in 1979 was at Champlain Senior Center (then Interfaith Senior Center). Many years later, I encouraged Syndi Zook to hire me as the Program Director when I learned that the McClure MultiGenerational Center was in the planning stages. I loved my job there and have continued to donate time and money since then.
Now, as a public citizen passionate about services for seniors in our community, I am appalled by what is happening at the Champlain Senior Center. Here is a brief historical perspective on recent events:
In 1997, Champlain Senior Center Inc. and Chittenden County Senior Citizens Alliance (dba The Heineberg Senior Center) entered into a lease agreement. The Champlain Senior Center leased the Heineberg building for $1 per year and, in turn, provided programs and a director at the Heineberg site. Revenue generated at Heineberg was given to Champlain with two exceptions, a Prudential Mutual Fund and a savings account for small building needs. Champlain assumed responsibility for operational expenses at Heineberg, except for maintenance of the elevator lift and small repairs at the building. (Chittenden County Senior Citizens own the building at 14 Heineberg Road, which is exempt from property taxes.)
Seniors at Heineberg were provided a safe and secure site to obtain essential services, as well as programs to remain civically engaged and healthy and mentally challenged. They remained the owners of the building. The Board of Directors at Heineberg acted in an advisory capacity to the Director and agreed to follow the policies set by the Board of Directors at Champlain.
In September, the arrangement was reviewed by the current Executive Director, Kathy Maieli, and the Board of Directors at Champlain Senior Center. The former lease agreement had lapsed, and it was agreed that some changes would be needed. On November 15, 2006, a new lease agreement was presented by the Champlain Board to the Heineberg Board. The Heineberg Board felt the new agreement was more restrictive and less empowering, and suggested several changes to the agreement. The Champlain Board rejected the changes and explained that, if the lease was not signed within 24 hours, support would be withdrawn.. The Heineberg Board refused to sign the contract and Champlain pulled their support on November 30. This withdrawal of support included the immediate removal of files, computers, network access, other supplies, and has been cloaked in threats and intimidation against seniors at Heineberg.
This has left Heineberg seniors in the position of uncertainty and without some vital services. In one example, the Soup and Salad Bar was a daily meal option, but is no longer available.
Without an exit strategy, the abrupt departure of Champlain’s support has created obvious stress on the seniors there. With the recent departure of Gail Moreau as their Program Director (see below), the board at Heineberg is trying to maintain programming at the most difficult time of year for many seniors.
Two staff members at Heineberg Senior Center have recently resigned because of philosophical differences with this new and disturbing direction at Champlain Senior Center. Gail Moreau, Program Director at Heineberg Senior Center, was a treasure at the heart of the senior community, whose loss is most deeply felt by the seniors themselves. The VISTA/Americorps staff person there has also left for the same reasons.
Personally, I was very disappointed when Kathy and the Champlain Board chose not to accept my offer to provide a free holiday dinner for seniors there on Christmas Day, complete with donated food, volunteer help, transportation, giftbags, and a visit by Santa. Regardless of their lack of support, the dinner will be held and transportation will be provided, courtesy of the Burlington School Department and Burlington Parks & Rec, both of whom were thrilled to participate. We're expecting 100 seniors who would otherwise be at home alone that day.
When basic services are discontinued for low-income seniors, I believe that our local community has a right to know. When priorities shift in a negative direction within an organization, I think that folks who donate their hard-earned financial support should be made aware.
And so, with a heavy heart, I must acknowledge that I can no longer support Champlain Senior Center. I am concerned about the ability of the Heineberg Senior Center to continue to provide important programs and services for low-income seniors and pledge to help raise an awareness about their need for financial support from this community.
I encourage you and your friends to send a donation immediately, so that the doors at Heineberg can remain open. Please send your financial support to:
