<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</p>
<p>July 1, 2010</p>
<p>MONTPELIER, Vt. &#8211; Kimbell Sherman Ellis, LLP, (KSE) a national government affairs and strategic communications firm, announced today a joint venture with Anya Rader Wallack, founder and president of Arrowhead Health Analytics of Fall River, MA.</p>
<p>The venture positions the firms to jointly serve and empower clients affected by the recently passed national health care reform legislation and closely links Wallack and KSE, the firm where she began her career in 1989.</p>
<p>Wallack has a deep knowledge of health policy, including Medicaid and the impact of national health care reform on the 50 states.  She established Arrowhead earlier this year after serving as interim president of the Blue Cross Blue Shield of Massachusetts Foundation (BCBSMAF) and executive director of the Massachusetts Medicaid Policy Institute (MMPI).  Her clients include health care foundations, state governments and health care provider organizations.</p>
<p>“It’s an exciting opportunity to reunite with KSE,” Wallack said. “Their experience in government affairs, communications and research will enable us to bring a full array of services to the table for clients nationally.”</p>
<p>Bob Sherman, a founding partner of KSE, said the joint venture broadens KSE’s health care expertise while giving Wallack’s clients immediate access to additional expertise in government affairs and communications.</p>
<p>“Anya has made a career of melding health policy, analysis and politics,” Sherman said. “KSE has driven the policy and politics of health care reform at the state level for more than two decades. Together we will be uniquely positioned to help clients meet the challenges of the next decade.”</p>
<p>Wallack started as KSE’s first associate in 1989, representing insurers and providers in the Vermont Statehouse.  She then served as Vermont Governor Howard Dean’s Policy Director and Deputy Chief of Staff from 1991-1994, including service on Hillary Rodham Clinton’s health care task force.  She also chaired the National Governors Association staff-level health care committee in 1993 and 1994.  From 1995-1998, Wallack ran the Vermont Program for Quality in Health Care, a quasi-governmental agency that specializes in quality measurement and improvement at the state level.</p>
<p>More recently, Wallack earned a Ph.D. in social policy from Brandeis University’s Heller School and has served as a consultant to state governments and multi-state organizations for most of the past decade.  Her consulting clients have included the state of Vermont, the state of Rhode Island and the National Academy for State Health Policy.</p>
<p>For the past two years she has been deeply engaged in Massachusetts health care reform through her service at MMPI and BCBSMAF.  She has developed a deep knowledge of the design and implementation of the Commonwealth’s reforms, on which national reform was largely modeled.  Wallack  continues to serve on the Massachusetts Health Care Quality and Cost Council, chairing that body’s cost containment committee.</p>
<p>Wallack lives in Little Compton, Rhode Island with her family.</p>

		<description><![CDATA[Our friend, colleague and partner Steve Kimbell announced his retirement today from Kimbell Sherman Ellis (KSE).]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>May 20, 2010</strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-1881" title="Steve Kimbell" src="http://www.ksefocus.com/wordpress-content/uploads/2010/05/kimbell.jpg" alt="Steve Kimbell" width="140" height="232" />MONTPELIER</strong><strong>, Vt.</strong><strong> </strong> &#8211; Our friend, colleague and partner Steve Kimbell announced his retirement today from Kimbell Sherman Ellis (KSE). After 34 years at the center of every major political and policy debate in Vermont, Steve has decided it is time to pursue other challenges.</p>
<p>“This has been a great run,” said Kimbell, “but intuition tells me this is the right time to move on.”</p>
<p>“Steve Kimbell has represented our clients with dignity, intelligence, wit and unparalleled resolve and he will retire as the most respected lobbyist ever to walk the halls of the Vermont Statehouse,” said Bob Sherman, who founded the firm with Kimbell in 1987.</p>
<p>Kimbell is an Illinois native with a B.A. from the University  of Illinois and J.D. from the University of Michigan Law School. He served on active duty in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1970-72.</p>
<p>Steve began working in the Vermont Statehouse in 1976 as an attorney with  Vermont Legal Aid. He learned the Montpelier lobbying trade representing the low income community.  He spent two years as a policy adviser to former Governor Madeleine M. Kunin and then returned to private practice.</p>
<p>KSE Partner Kevin Ellis said: “We view Steve’s retirement with some sadness and enormous pride in a terrific past and a successful future that will be carried on by the creative and highly-skilled professionals at our firm.”</p>
<p>Chuck Storrow, the firm’s managing partner, said that KSE is well-prepared to make the transition when Steve’s retirement becomes official on July 1.</p>
<p>“We will miss Steve both personally and professionally, but the firm in recent years has grown substantially both in numbers and fields of practice.”</p>
<p>KSE, with offices in Montpelier, Boston and Washington, DC, is a multi-state government/public affairs/communications firm with 25 professionals and a national network of strategic partners.  In addition to lobbying Vermont state government, the firm provides multi-state legislative/regulatory strategy in government affairs and manages marketing and public relations campaigns throughout the U.S.  KSE’s affiliated law firm, Kimbell Storrow Buckley Hughes, represents clients before Vermont’s regulatory agencies.</p>
<p>KSE is planning for growth and will announce exciting changes in the coming weeks. As always, we are committed to delivering the same high standard of service to our clients that was established by our co-founder Steve Kimbell.</p>
<p>All of us at KSE wish Steve a happy and productive retirement.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>For Immediate Release</strong> &#8211; April 21, 2010</p>
<p align="center"><strong>Vermonters Confront Collapse with Michael Ruppert</strong><em><br />
Author &amp; Peak Oil Activist to lecture across Vermont May 13-16</em></p>
<p>White River Junction, Vt. -  Chelsea Green Publishing announced today that author Michael C. Ruppert will give a series of talks in Vermont about the peak oil crisis and what we must do to confront it.</p>
<p>The Los Angeles-based Ruppert, author of <em><a href="http://www.chelseagreen.com/bookstore/item/confronting_collapse:paperback">Confronting Collapse</a></em> and the subject of the Chris Smith/Bluemark Films 2009 documentary <em>Collapse</em>, will discuss and sign copies of his book in Burlington, Montpelier, Brattleboro and Woodstock May 13-16.</p>
<p>Ruppert is a former LAPD narcotics officer turned investigative journalist who details the intricate connections between money and energy, including the ways in which oil shortages and price spikes triggered the economic crash that began in September 2008. Fossil fuel, and oil in particular, is the single resource on which our whole industrial civilization is built, and inexpensive, easy-to-access supplies are now in a state of accelerating and irreversible decline. In <em>Confronting Collapse,</em> Ruppert predicts that as much as two-thirds of the human race may perish in the next five to 10 years as global oil sources dry up, food disappears and lights go out around the world.</p>
<p>Ruppert’s Vermont speaking tour will focus on the tangible steps we must take to confront the grave reality we face globally.  In <em>Confronting Collapse, </em>Ruppert outlines 25 steps the nation and all states should implement immediately, including the creation of a second strategic petroleum reserve for the use of state and local governments, and national Feed-in Tariff legislation to support renewable energy sources.</p>
<p>In the film documentary <em>Collapse</em>, filmmaker Chris Smith set out to make a film about peak oil and ended by filming Ruppert, chain-smoking in an abandoned meat-packing warehouse in downtown Los Angeles. Called “shockingly persuasive” and “unexpectedly moving” by the <em>New York Times</em>, the film has received rave reviews from the <em>LA</em> <em>Times, Variety, Chicago Sun-Times</em>, <em>USA Today, Entertainment Weekly, The Onion,</em> and many others.  Says Robert Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times, “Above all else see <em>Collapse</em>. Above all else.”</p>
<p>Ruppert is an internationally sought-after speaker on peak oil who lectures across the nation.  His statewide tour is sponsored by <a href="http://www.chelseagreen.com/">Chelsea Green Publishing</a>, <a href="http://www.vtcommons.org/">Vermont Commons</a>, <a href="http://www.vermont30.net/">The Candidates for Vermont Independence</a>, and <a href="http://www.freevermontradio.org/">Free Vermont Radio</a>, as well as 21 local sponsors.</p>

We’re proud that a company like  groSolar is getting behind us with their support, and we’re equally  behind their mission to bring more solar to America’s rooftops.”</p>

<div style="text-align: center;"><strong>Leilani Münter’s ‘Eco Dream-Team’ Announces NASCAR Green Challenge</strong><br />
<em>Driver’s Daytona car sponsors challenge NASCAR fans to embrace energy independence<br />
</em></div>
<p>Daytona Beach, Fl. &#8211; When Leilani Münter gets behind the wheel, people watch.  But if she has her way at Daytona’s ARCA Series race on February 6th, they’ll also listen.  This is one driver who is using the platform of the raceway to educate fans about climate change, and the steps they can take in the race to save the planet.</p>
<p><img src="../wordpress-content/uploads/2010/02/LEI.jpg" border="1" alt="Leilani Munter" hspace="10" align="left" />Today, Münter ‘s ‘Eco Dream-Team’ of Daytona sponsors announced a list of initiatives they hope her fans will adopt to save on energy costs, reduce carbon emissions and move America toward a more sustainable future.</p>
<p>“If each of the more than 2.2 million fans expected to watch this ARCA race would take just one of the eight steps we recommend, they could collectively save more than $250 million dollars each year, and help avoid more than four million tons of carbon emissions over the next 10 years,” said Charlie Szoradi, CEO and founder of GREEN<em>and</em>SAVE. “That’s like taking 67,000 cars off the road each year.”</p>
<p><span style="font-weight: bold;">The eight actions that Münter’s sponsorship team encourages fans to take are:</span></p>
<div style="margin-left: 40px;"><span style="font-style: italic;">1)    Correctly adjusting tire air pressures to improve efficiency; </span><br style="font-style: italic;" /> <span style="font-style: italic;"> 2)    Correctly setting home thermostats to save energy; </span><br style="font-style: italic;" /> <span style="font-style: italic;"> 3)    Switching to high-performance shower heads to conserve water &amp; energy; </span><br style="font-style: italic;" /> <span style="font-style: italic;"> 4)    Installing a 5kW home photovoltaic solar system and saving 66 percent in electric costs; </span><br style="font-style: italic;" /> <span style="font-style: italic;"> 5)    Getting a Home Efficiency Report and saving $200 annually; </span><br style="font-style: italic;" /> <span style="font-style: italic;"> 6)    Helping employers switch to LED lights saving 80 percent on electricity; </span><br style="font-style: italic;" /> <span style="font-style: italic;"> 7)    Helping employers adopt a Carbon Offset Program for their offices; </span><br style="font-style: italic;" /> <span style="font-style: italic;"> 8)    Getting trai</span>ned <span style="font-style: italic;">as a Home Efficiency Consultant to help others learn how to save money and the planet.</span></div>
<p>Pennsylvania-based GREEN<em>and</em>SAVE, a national leader in green living and energy education, spearedheaded Münter’s Eco Dream-Team by securing supporting sponsorship from five other eco-friendly companies. The associate sponsors are NativeEnergy, groSolar, LED Saving Solutions, Home Efficiency Report, and Eco Academy.</p>
<p>Münter, rated among the top 10 female sports car drivers in the world by Sports Illustrated, will set out on the Daytona International Speedway in the first-ever fully eco-sponsored race car.  She has the cachet to garner sponsorship from top businesses in the US, but she is using her celebrity to support sustainable living initiatives and the collective mission of renewable energy companies.</p>
<p>“We took the lead to build Leilani’s Eco Dream-Team of sponsors, to support her in bringing an urgent message to the 75 million race car fans in America:  if you want to save money, start by saving the planet,” Szoradi said. “Leilani is passionate in educating people about how small lifestyle changes can have an enormous environmental impact. By making their homes perform more efficiently, people can save money on utility bills, and also confront climate change at the same time.”</p>
<p>While racing culture and stock car sponsorship is not commonly associated with environmental initiatives, Münter’s Eco Dream-Team sponsors are optimistic that her presence at Daytona will spark a dialogue for energy independence that will go far beyond the February 6th race.</p>
<p>“Leilani is an uncommon messenger for the planet, and we are very excited to join with her and her Eco Dream-Team”, said Tom Boucher, Founder and CEO, <em>Native</em>Energy, Inc.  “We built NativeEnergy in part by partnering with individuals and organizations who speak with authentic, passionate voices and who share their vision for a better, healthier world. Leilani is leading the way in educating the vibrant and growing community of racing fans. We’re pleased to support her mission.”</p>
<p>By sponsoring her at Daytona, Münter’s Eco Dream-Team hopes to encourage fans to embrace renewable technologies like solar power.</p>
<p>“With strong federal and state incentive programs and drastically reduced manufacturing costs, solar power actually saves people money, and that’s a critical message that people need to hear in this economy,” said Jeff Wolfe, founder of groSolar, a national solar installation and distribution company.  “She’s also helping people to recognize that reducing our carbon footprint is one of the most patriotic things we can do as Americans.  groSolar is proud to sponsor her efforts to make renewable energy a part of our national identity.”</p>
<p>Münter will drive a # 59 GREENandSAVE Dodge fielded by Mark Gibson Racing. Danica Patrick, noted Indy driver, will also be making her NASCAR debut in the race, making it one of the most anticipated races of the year.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>groSolar to Install Solar System at Burlington’s City Market<br />
Free public solar education seminars to be offered</strong></p>
<p>Burlington, Vt. – For many people, “going green” begins with buying locally-grown and organic foods. City Market, Burlington’s only community-owned grocery store, announced today plans to install a solar power system on its roof in downtown Burlington, with the help of VT-based installer groSolar to further its commitment to energy efficiency and green building practices</p>
<p>The 31 kilowatt system, from 136 solar panels, will cover a small percentage of the 16,000 square-foot building’s overall power load, but City Market was attracted to the project as much for financial reasons as for its commitment to sustainable business practices. Installation is planned for February.</p>
<p>“Once we looked at the numbers and realized we’ll recoup our up-front costs in less than five years, we knew this investment would bring a strong financial return for our members,” said Clem Nilan, General Manager of City Market. “But this is a business decision that also has tangible social and environmental benefits. One of the central tenets of our mission is to make a difference in the lives of consumers. By reducing our carbon footprint and supporting the local green economy with groSolar, we know we’re doing something worthwhile for the community as well.”</p>
<p>White River Junction-based groSolar, now the largest 100 percent U.S.-owned solar distribution company in the nation, will also be offering free monthly “Solar Made Simple” seminars at City Market on February 23, March 23 and April 22, to help educate local residents and business owners about the new economics of solar power. Seminar schedules will be promoted to co-op members and shoppers in the store and through City Market’s print and email newsletters.</p>
<p>“We’re excited that a high-profile shopping destination like City Market has made this commitment to a clean-energy future,” said groSolar CEO Jeff Wolfe. “The combination of drastically reduced prices and strong government incentives made this project a smart move for City Market. We’re optimistic because we see many more homeowners and businesses taking advantage of the opportunity solar power offers for long-term energy security, financial savings and protection of our most precious resource: our planet.”</p>
<p>A ribbon-cutting ceremony is planned for Spring 2010 when the system is fully functional.</p>
