Editorial

State  eyes  tough  sledding to  balance  2015  budget While  we’ve  discussing  all  things  local  in  this  column  in  recent  weeks,  two  substantial  developments  outside  our  immediate  sphere  warrant  re-­ view:  the  recommendation  to  increase  the  state  education  property  tax  base  rate  by  5  cents,  and  Vermont  House  Speaker  Shap  Smith’s  call  to  make  ends  meet  this  session  without  increasing  taxes.  Last  Tuesday,  Tax  Commissioner  Mary  Peterson  issued  her  annual  prop-­ HUW\ WD[ UHFRPPHQGDWLRQ IRU WKH ÂżVFDO \HDU 6KH QRWHG WKH LPSHQG-­ ing  budget  shortcoming  and  proposed  a  5-­cent  hike  on  the  base  homestead  property  tax  from  94  cents  to  99  cents  as  well  as  on  the  non-­residential  property  tax  rate  from  $1.44  to  $1.49.  She  recommended  no  change  to  the  1.8  percent  rate  on  the  homestead  income  tax. The  Legislature,  which  sets  the  statewide  tax  rates,  will  consider  Peter-­ son’s  recommendations  in  the  upcoming  session,  but  will  do  so  with  anoth-­ er  of  Peterson’s  recommendations  and  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin’s  endorsement:  WKDW ODZPDNHUV DQG VFKRRO ERDUGV FRQWLQXH ZRUNLQJ WR ÂżQG D ZD\ WR OLPLW the  annual  growth  in  school  spending.  Shumlin  had  previously  called  for  a  symposium  on  school  spending  this  coming  January  to  study  the  education  funding  system  and  to  address  one  of  the  weaknesses  he  sees  in  the  current  formula:  that  too  many  households  don’t  face  enough  of  an  increase  in  their  tax  bills  when  school  spending  climbs.  That’s  because  residents  with  household  incomes  below  $90,000  annually  pay  an  education  tax  based  on  their  incomes  (or  ability  to  pay)  rather  than  on  the  assessed  value  of  their  property.  Because  of  that  formula,  the  burden  of  education  is  falling  on  a  smaller  number  of  Vermonters.  Neither  the  Democratic-­leaning  House  or  Senate  are  likely  going  to  change  that  formula  in  2014,  but  some  tweaks  may  be  in  order.  Senate  President  Pro  Tem  John  Campbell  said  the  issue  will  be  a  major  priority  of  his  for  the  upcoming  session,  noting  he  thought  the  16-­year-­old  legislation  (starting  with  Act  60  and  68)  had  reached  a  â€œtipping  pointâ€?  in  which  the  basic  formula  might  need  to  be  revised.  Meanwhile,  in  an  interview  with  VTDigger,  House  Speaker  Shap  Smith  had  a  slightly  different  take:  â€œOur  system  really  is  one  that  is  targeted  towards  equity  in  a  way  that  no  other  system  is,  but  I  think  we  need  to  dig  deeper  into  the  question  of  whether  the  system’s  focus  on  equity  is  also  getting  us  equitable  results  and  opportunities  for  students.â€? The  good  news  is  the  initial  conversation  has  been  set  up  in  a  non-­ confrontational  environment  seeking  a  nonpartisan  solution.  The  bad  news  is  that  it  remains  a  tough  nut  to  crack  without  obvious  solutions  as  to  how  to  spread  the  burden  among  more  Vermonters.  While  that  conversation  will  dominate  hours  of  discussion  within  the  appropriate  legislative  committees,  Smith  also  recently  let  it  be  known  that  Vermont  will  be  facing  annual  budget  shortfalls  of  about  $50  million  to  $70  million  â€œas  far  as  the  eye  can  see.â€?  That’s  partly  because  the  federal  government  is  sending  less  money  to  Vermont  to  sustain  existing  programs.  It’s  also  because  the  cost  of  existing  state  programs  is  growing  faster  than  the  growth  of  state  revenues. The  only  viable  solution,  Smith  said  in  an  early  volley  before  the  Legislature  returns  full-­time  to  Montpelier  in  January,  is  to  curb  spending,  not  look  to  increase  taxes.  That’s  a  bold  statement,  echoed  by  the  governor,  and  a  clear  signal  to  the  Legislature  that  the  state  can’t  spend  its  ZD\ RXW RI WRGD\ÂśV ÂżVFDO UHDOLW\ That’s  not  a  tune  Progressives  or  many  Democrats  want  to  hear.  Nor  is  it  music  to  the  ears  of  the  thousands  of  recipients  who  depend  on  state  programs  to  make  ends  meet  while  they  try  to  improve  their  lives.  Rather,  the  stage  is  being  set  for  an  upcoming  session  based  on  frugality  and  the  recognition  that  spending  has  to  be  reined  in  to  meet  the  state’s  revenues.  Nor  does  that  mean  cutting  all  programs  equally;Íž  rather,  it  could  mean  picking  and  choosing  among  those  programs  deemed  most  successful  and  trimming  or  eliminating  others  that  have  less  of  a  payback.  That’s  not  being  a  Scrooge,  just  being  realistic  about  the  tough  choices  that  lie  ahead.

But  I  am  not  uncertain  about  judging  the  Independent’s  role  in  the  affair,  as  its  journalistic  cover-­ age  has  been  extremely  limited,  lacking  multiple  perspectives Â

and  voices,  and  prioritizing  the  arguments  and  authority  of  certain  selectboard  members  over  other  HOHFWHG RIÂżFLDOV DQG FLWL]HQV , write  that  with  disappointment,  as  I  am  friends  with  a  number  of  the  paper’s  journalists  and  staffers,  and  have  often  praised  the  Independent  as  a  model  of  a  local  paper  thriving  by  serving  its  community. However,  my  frustration  with  the  news  coverage  is  nothing  compared  to  my  outrage  over  how  the  paper’s  publisher  and  editor,  Angelo  Lynn,  has  misused  his  perch  above  the  masthead  to  mis-­

represent  opposition  to  the  project,  mislead  readers  about  the  process,  and  attack  citizens  writing  to  the  paper.  While  a  publisher  has  the  right  and  even  obligation  to  weigh  in  on  important  issues,  Lynn’s  litany  of  rude,  condescending  and  often  inaccurate  editorials  go  beyond  his  role  as  a  newsman  ar-­ guing  a  point,  and  into  the  realm  of  aggressive,  ill-­mannered  punditry  PRUH EHÂżWWLQJ VHQVDWLRQDO WDEORLGV (I  certainly  hope  that  the  paper’s  poor  news  coverage  of  the  issue  is  not  being  swayed  by  Lynn’s  edito-­ (See  Mittell,  Page  7)

Addison  Independent,  Monday,  December  2,  2013  â€”  PAGE  7

Mittell (Continued  from  Page  4) rial  stance,  as  that  would  be  a  clear  case  of  journalistic  malpractice.) Lynn  adopts  two  particularly  inappropriate  tactics.  First,  he  attacks  others  for  his  own  sins,  such  as  accusing  letter  writers  of  being  â€œuncivilâ€?  when  they  wrote  to  protest  his  characterization  of  the  project’s  opposition  as  employing  â€œTea  Party  tactics.â€?  In  his  recent  editorial  from  Nov.  7,  he  laments  such  critics  as  â€œa  handful  of  people  (that)  get  together  with  similar  talking  points  and  pound  away  at  WKDW PHVVDJH´ ² D ÂżQH GHVFULSWLRQ of  his  own  style  in  writing  editori-­ als.  He  sanctimoniously  decries  letters  that  â€œspread  falsehoods  or  half-­truths,â€?  then  proceeds  to  cherry-­pick  information  to  support  his  own  arguments  while  failing  to  mention  other  important  points.  He  characterizes  his  critics  as  a  small  minority  of  obstructionists,  while  there  have  been  many  more  letters  questioning  the  project  and  process  than  praising  it  in  recent  weeks  â€”  although  more  ink  has  been  given  to  supporters  through  Lynn’s  own Â

lengthy  editorials. Second  and  even  more  troubling,  Lynn  abuses  his  position  as  editor  by  responding  to  letters  before  readers  even  have  a  chance  to  read  them,  offering  a  â€œpre-­buttalâ€?  on  his  page  four  editorial  in  anticipation  RI D OHWWHU RQ SDJH ÂżYH 5HDGHUV then  consume  a  letter  that  insti-­ gated  his  response  as  framed  by  Lynn’s  context,  not  on  its  own  merits;Íž  this  practice  violates  the  principle  of  letters  to  newspapers  as  an  open  democratic  forum.  5HFHQWO\ KH VXJJHVWHG WKDW WKH HGL-­ tor’s  job  is  to  â€œtemper  the  tempestâ€?  created  by  the  so-­called  â€œbulliesâ€?  via  a  quotation  from  Emerson  â€”  but  as  I  understand  it,  Emerson  is  referring  to  the  â€œbulliesâ€?  of  government  leaders,  not  ordinary  citizens  questioning  the  actions  of  those  elites. To  me,  the  real  bullying  is  when  the  owner  and  editor  of  our  com-­ munity’s  primary  media  outlet  directly  attacks  citizens  for  taking  an  interest  in  town  politics  and  expressing  their  opinions  in  an  (allegedly)  open  forum.  I  know Â

a  good  number  of  citizens  who  have  been  intimidated  from  writ-­ ing  to  the  Independent,  for  fear  of  unleashing  this  â€œeditorial  tempestâ€?  upon  them,  a  sad  state  of  affairs  for  a  small  community. As  I  assume  this  letter  will  prompt  Mr.  Lynn  to  seek  to  â€œtemperâ€?  my  uncivil  accusations  and  half-­truths,  I  decided  to  save  him  time  and  offer  some  material  for  his  inevitable  â€œpre-­buttal,â€?  in  my  humble  attempt  to  capture  his  recent  writing  style: “Jason  Mittell’s  letter  claimed  to  support  editorial  fairness,  but  it  was  destroyed  by  his  own  Mc-­ Carthyesque  name-­calling  and  lack  of  full  disclosure.  He  claims  that  readers  have  been  too  intimidated  by  my  reasoned  discourse  to  write  letters,  but  unless  he  names  names  of  these  critics,  how  can  we  know  they  are  real,  especially  when  compared  with  the  vast  majority  of  Middlebury  residents  whom  I  am  certain  endorse  the  town  hall  plan?  $GGLWLRQDOO\ WKH SRWHQWLDO FRQĂ€LFW of  interest  posed  by  my  own  wife’s  role  in  Vermont  economic  develop-­

Free  Advent  Series  concerts  at  St.  Stephen’s  start  Dec.  5 MIDDLEBURY  â€”  Well-­ known  Vermont  contralto  Linda  Radtke  will  join  St.  Stephen’s  Church  organist  George  Matthew  Jr.  in  the  first  concert  of  the  third  annual  Noontime  Advent  Series  this  Thursday,  Dec.  5,  at  the  church  on  the  Middlebury  town  green. All  three  of  the  concerts  in  the  series  begin  at  12:15  p.m.  Everyone  is  welcome  to  enjoy  the  free  performances,  and  brown  bagging  is  encouraged. On  Thursday,  Radtke  will Â

sing  works  by  Bach,  Handel  and  Vaughn-­Williams.  She  was  the  principal  alto  soloist  for  the  Mozart  Festival  and  has  also  soloed  with  the  Oriana  singers  and  the  Vermont  Philharmonic.  She  has  been  a  member  of  Robert  de  Cormier’s  Counterpoint  since  its  inception  and  is  also  a  member  of  Ah!  Cappella,  a  vocal  quartet  sponsored  by  the  Vermont  Symphony  Orchestra.  In  addition,  she  hosts  two  clas-­ sical  music  programs,  Vermont  Notes  and  The  Classic  Vermont Â

Choral  Hour,  at  Classic  Vermont  101.7FM  and  has  toured  the  state  performing  her  one-­woman  show  â€œTwo  Hundred  Years  of  Vermont  Popular  Music.â€? The  next  Noontime  Advent  Series  concert  on  Dec.  12  will  feature  the  St.  Stephen’s  Band  led  by  Emily  Sunderman,  who  plays  violin  in  the  Addison  String  Quartet  and  several  other  ensem-­ bles.  In  the  time  of  Handel,  the  word  â€œbandâ€?  often  referred  to  a  small  group  of  players  of  various  instruments.  St.  Stephen’s  Band Â

includes  two  flutes,  two  violins,  a  viola,  and  a  cello,  all  played  by  accomplished  musicians  who  are  members  of  our  very  musi-­ cal  community.  With  George  Matthew  Jr.  at  the  organ,  they  will  perform  Handel’s  concertos  numbers  two  and  four  for  strings  and  organ. In  the  third  week  of  Advent,  on  Dec.  19,  internationally  known  organist  and  carillonneur  George  Matthew  Jr.  will  present  an  organ  recital  of  works  by  Daquin,  Cesar  Franck,  Naji  Hakim,  and  Sigfrid Â

Karg-­Elert.  Louis-­Claude  Daquin  was  a  Jewish  French  prodigy  who  played  for  the  court  of  King  Louis  XIV  when  he  was  six  years  old  and  became  the  organist  at  Sainte-­ Chapelle  at  12.  He  was  a  prolific  composer  for  organ  in  the  baroque  and  galant  styles.  By  contrast,  Naji  Hakim,  born  in  Beirut  in  1955,  is  an  active  contemporary  composer,  teacher  and  performer  on  the  organ.  Winner  of  many  awards  and  honors,  he  is  a  leader  in  the  creation  of  21st-­century  organ  works.

Pompeii  exhibit  screens  at  Town  Hall  Theater MIDDLEBURY  â€”  Middlebury’s  Town  Hall  Theater  will  screen  â€œPompeii  from  the  British  Museumâ€?  on  Friday,  Dec.  13,  at  11  a.m.  and  S P 7KH YHU\ ÂżUVW FLQHPD event  to  be  produced  by  the  British  Museum  for  a  major  exhibition,  the  ¿OP RIIHUV DQ H[FOXVLYH SULYDWH YLHZ of  the  blockbuster  show  â€œLife  and  Death  in  Pompeii  and  Herculaneum.â€?   The  exhibition,  playing  to  huge  crowds  in  London,  focuses  on  the  homes  and  lives  of  the  inhabitants  of  the  thriving  industrial  hub  of  Pompeii  and  the  small  seaside  town  of  Herculaneum  nearly  2,000  years  ago  when  Mount  Vesuvius  erupted  in  79AD.  Introduced  by  British  Museum  Director  Neil  MacGregor,  this  fascinating  show  will  take  viewers  around  the  exhibition  with  insights  from  renowned  experts  who  will  bring  these  extraordinary  objects  to  life. “These  broadcasts  are  amaz-­ ing,â€?  says  THT  executive  director  Douglas  Anderson,  â€œbecause  if  you  saw  it  in  person  in  London  you’d  be  in  a  crowded  room  with  literally  hundreds  of  people  and  it  would  be  hard  to  really  experience  the  exhibit. Â

In  these  broadcasts,  however,  you’re  alone  in  the  vast  British  Museum  with  an  expert  â€”  as  if  you’re  getting  your  own  private  tour  of  the  block-­ buster  exhibit.  It’s  actually  better  than  being  there.â€? With  accompanying  music,  poetry  and  eyewitness  accounts,  viewers  go  behind  the  scenes  of  the  exhibition  to  explore  the  stories  of  these  famous  Roman  cities.  Actual  artifacts  like  jewelry  preserved  for  thousands  of  years  is  on  display,  and  viewers  see  how  archaeologists  working  today  discover  new  evidence  revealing  the  lives  of  men,  women  and  children  in  Roman  society.  The  powerful  movie  trailer  for  the  broadcast  can  be  seen  at  http:// www.specticast.com/event_generic. jsp?xml=/xml/event/pompeii.xml A  lot  of  people  love  our  new  11  a.m.  screenings,â€?  says  Anderson.  â€œYou  can  come  downtown,  see  a  great  show,  have  lunch  and  shop.  It  makes  for  a  great  day  in  Middlebury.â€?

Tips to keep seasonal plants looking great

Ferrisburgh (Continued from Page 1) Lawrence  said.  DeVos,  who  had  served  since  the  1990s,  announced  his  resignation  in  an  Oct.  22  letter  to  Lawrence,  citing  â€œrecent  eventsâ€?  that  made  it  neces-­ sary  to  â€œstep  back  from  some  of  his  responsibilities.â€? Gutowski  recently  completed  a  12-­year  term  on  the  Ferrisburgh  Board  of  Zoning  Adjustment,  and  has  also  served  as  the  town’s  rep-­ resentative  on  the  Addison  County  Solid  Waste  Management  District.  Lawrence  said  selectboard  mem-­ bers  were  impressed  by  his  civic  background  and  his  career,  which  EOHQGV FXVWRPHU VHUYLFH DQG ÂżQDQ-­ cial  management.  â€œHe  works  with  the  public  every  day  with  his  job,  and  the  business  aspect  was  a  great  factor.  He  just  seems  so  professional,  and  he  lis-­ tens  to  both  sides  of  every  story,â€?  Lawrence  said.  â€œHe  just  seems  like  he  would  be  a  great  asset  to  the  board.  It  was  tough.  There  were  some  great  candidates.â€?

Gutowski  said  he  believes  his  business  background  would  be  use-­ ful  in  his  new  role. “There’s  a  lot  of  things  people  would  like  to  see  done  in  town  â€Ś  and  in  the  end  you  have  to  have  the  ability  to  pay  for  them,â€?  he  said.  Gutowski  said  he  would  not  bring  any  plans  or  goals  to  the  board  with  him  other  than  getting  up  to  speed  as  quickly  as  possible  and  pitching  in.  â€œThere  wasn’t  any  one  particu-­ lar  reason  or  thing  that  is  going  on  in  the  town  that  prompted  me  to  throw  my  hat  in  the  ring,â€?  he  said.  â€œI  certainly  don’t  think  I  have Â

any  agenda  I  want  to  push  on  the  town.â€? TREASURER  ISSUE Selectboard  members  on  Tues-­ day  also  discussed  their  next  step  in  the  process  of  getting  more  help  for  Town  Clerk  and  Treasurer  Chet  Hawkins  and  Assistant  Clerk  and  Treasurer  Pam  Cousino. Hawkins,  Cousino,  the  town’s  au-­ ditors  and  selectboard  members  say  they  all  agree  more  help  is  needed  as  the  town,  their  workload,  and  the  complexity  of  the  treasurer’s  job  have  all  grown.  The  board  talked  with  Hawkins  at  its  Nov.  19  meeting  and  agreed  to  pull  its  ad  for  a  new  town  treasurer  and  reevaluate  whether  the  board  should  hire  a  full-­time  treasurer,  as  had  been  its  initial  plan.  Hawkins  and  at  least  one  resi-­ dent  suggested  at  that  meeting  that  instead  Hawkins  should  hire  an  as-­ sistant  treasurer,  possibly  for  fewer  hours,  because  Hawkins  could  re-­ WDLQ WKH SRZHU WR ÂżUH WKH HPSOR\HH if  he  or  she  did  not  work  out.
