In Kirk's scenario, being 'green' isn't only about being energy efficient, it is also about being healthy. IQ Air, is a company that designs a special system to filter out many of the things that are hurting Louie Angelo Jr.
"Everyone is familiar with energy efficiency, but not the health part of a 'green' house," Sullivan said, "small things like mold in the air, can kill."
That's one killer that Louie no longer has to worry about, thanks to the McKernon group and IQ Air.
McKernon could also be credited with bringing in the volunteers from Castleton.
It was Peter Orr, who works with them, that made the initial call for volunteers at the recent Woods Tea Company performance at Castleton. Community Service club members heard the announcement and were the ones to put out the initial email.
They certainly got a response. Along with the 40 volunteers who left from CSC in the vans, another dozen made the long drive in their own cars, just to lend a hand. The outing club also made its presence known by providing sleeping bags to the volunteers who stayed at the site overnight.
When asked why the Outing Club was getting involved, it's president, Nick Korda said, "Why not? It's a chance to help a neighbor. And in Vermont, a neighbor can be someone 40 miles away, it doesn't matter."
More information about the Vitale family, and there son Louie Angelo Jr. can be found at http://louisangelo.tripod.com. There you can learn all about him and his condition.
In addition, Louie Angelo is interested in painting, and his mother created a Web site for paintings by him and other kids with special needs at http://angelboyart.com/
