Vermont State Rep. Alison Clarkson reported this morning that some — particularly those who lived in the flood-smacked-down Riverside Park — are already suffering greatly from a mental health point of view and others have serious medical needs which are ongoing.
Clarkson said there are mental health services available through Mt. Ascutney Hospital. If you know someone who needs help — or even a visit — or you, yourself could use an ear, some hand-holding or even medication, we have been provided with this telephone number:
802-236-9730. One contact name we have is Frank Silfiles, who may be on-site.
Woodstock Early Bird Note: We are personally SO SORRY — as our many in our community are — for the individuals who have lost everything. We also hear that we almost lost Penny Davis and what a tragedy that would have been. This woman has served this community non-stop since Woodstock Early Bird has lived here, some 20 years, answering calls at Woodstock Dispatch and going to the rescue of anyone in need. Penny Davis has served hundreds of people. We hope the community will do what they can to help this important Woodstock family.
