Now  Fuller  and  other  town  leaders  are  hopeful  that  residents  will  agree  when  the  budget  is  voted  on  March  3.

Guest  Editorial Make  economic  growth  in  Vermont  a  priority With  a  projected  $100  million  budget  gap,  the  governor  and  lawmak-­ HUV PXVW JUDSSOH ZLWK GLI¿FXOW VSHQGLQJ DQG UHYHQXH GHFLVLRQV GXULQJ WKH 2015  legislative  session.  In  recent  years,  Vermont  has  closed  its  annual  budget  gap  using  a  combination  of  one-­time  funds  and  unexpected  revenue  growth.  Unfortunately,  federal  funds  have  stopped  and  state  revenues  are  lagging  making  these  strategies  unlikely.  However,  there  is  another  solu-­ tion:  The  governor  and  lawmakers  could  make  economic  growth  a  priority.

Since  November,  I  have  traveled  throughout  Vermont  listening  to  busi-­ ness  owners  and  their  employees.  From  these  discussions,  the  Vermont  &KDPEHU RI &RPPHUFH KDV GHYHORSHG D ¿YH SRLQW (FRQRPLF *URZWK Agenda  that  if  enacted  today  would  ignite  economic  growth,  create  more  jobs  and  greater  affordability  for  Vermonters,  and  help  businesses  to  grow.

1.  Promote  Vermont  as  a  great  place  to  live,  work  and  play.  While  Ver-­ PRQW KDV VFDQW IXQGV WR RIIHU ¿QDQFLDO LQFHQWLYHV WR DWWUDFW QHZ EXVLQHVVHV to  the  state,  we  do  have  the  allure  of  the  Vermont  image.  By  adding  to  our  limited  state  tourism  promotional  budget,  we  can  not  only  encourage  people  to  visit  but  we  can  also  demonstrate  that  Vermont  is  an  innovative  place  to  grow  a  business  and  a  state  with  great  jobs.  Today,  there  is  growth  in  a  variety  of  industries  like  beer  and  food,  technology  and  renewable  energy,  and  aviation  and  aerospace.  By  promoting  Vermont  in  other  states  as  the  destination  to  work,  build  a  business,  raise  a  family  or  even  vaca-­ tion,  state  revenues  would  increase  from  greater  sales,  income,  and  rooms  and  meals  tax  transactions.  This  investment  would  pay  for  itself  through  increased  state  revenues  and  add  to  state  coffers  without  raising  taxes.

Group  questions  Vergennes  snow  dumping  methods LCI  says  runoff  is  bad  for  Otter  Creek By  ZACH  DESPART VERGENNES  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Piles  of  snow,  packed  together  in  rows  like  moguls,  occupy  the  parking  lot  of  Falls  Park  on  the  south  bank  of  the  Otter  Creek  be-­ low  Vergennesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  majestic  falls.

Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  where  the  city  stores  excess  snow  cleared  from  downtown  side-­ walks  and  roadways.  When  the  snow  PHOWV LW Ă&#x20AC;RZV LQWR WKH 2WWHU &UHHN DQG then  into  Lake  Champlain.

State  law  says  the  practice  is  legal,  but  Lake  Champlain  International,  an  advocacy  group  dedicated  to  protect-­ ing  the  lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  ecosystem,  said  that  al-­ ORZLQJ SORZHG VQRZ WR Ă&#x20AC;RZ GLUHFWO\ into  waterways  is  bad  for  the  environ-­ ment.

The  group  says  this  is  because  snow  from  city  streets  contains  contami-­ nants  from  vehicles  and  products  used  to  treat  roads. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Concentrating  all  the  contami-­ nants  found  on  a  road  surface,  such  as  oil,  antifreeze,  brake  dust  and  animal  waste,  and  releasing  it  into  our  public  waters  year  after  year  degrades  wa-­ ter  quality  and  habitat,â&#x20AC;?  said  James  Ehlers,  executive  director  of  LCI.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  needs  to  be  treated  as  such.â&#x20AC;?

Vergennes  City  Manager  Mel  Haw-­ ley  said  the  city  has  for  years  dumped  snow  on  the  banks  of  the  Otter  Creek.

Usually,  trucks  will  unload  snow  behind  the  municipal  wastewater  treat-­ ment  plant  at  the  end  of  Canal  Street.  But  due  to  warm  weather  earlier  this  winter,  Hawley  said  the  ground  at  that  location  was  too  soft  for  the  heavy  ve-­ hicles.  So,  the  Falls  Park  parking  lot  was  the  next  best  option. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  make  sense  to  dump  it  where  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  historically  been  dump-­ ing  it,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

Hawley  said  he  was  aware  of  con-­ cerns  by  residents  and  Lake  Cham-­ plain  International  about  the  practice,  and  said  it  may  be  a  topic  of  discussion  for  future  city  council  meetings.

Hawley  defended  the  practice  as  both  legal  and  a  good  solution  for  cit-­ ies  and  towns  looking  to  remove  snow  from  congested  commercial  areas. â&#x20AC;&#x153;To  our  knowledge,  there  is  no  regulation  that  prohibits  us  from  doing  that,â&#x20AC;?  Hawley  said.

Per  state  statute,  it  is  illegal  to  dump  snow  directly  into  waterways.  It  is  per-­ missible  to  dump  snow  on  the  banks  of  rivers,  but  the  state  Department  of  En-­ vironmental  Conservation  encourages  towns  to  create  vegetative  buffers  so  WKDW VQRZPHOW LV ÂżOWHUHG EHIRUH UHDFK-­ ing  a  waterways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  people  dispose  of  snow  along  a  river,  we  would  love  to  see  a  buffer  strip,  such  as  a  silt  fence  or  hay  bale,  keep  solids  from  being  carried  away,â&#x20AC;?  said  Rick  Hopkins,  an  environmental  analyst  for  the  DEC. In  Vergennes,  part  of  the  Falls  Park  parking  lot  is  bordered  by  a  boat  launch,  meaning  that  there  is  no  veg-­ HWDWLYH EXIIHU WR ÂżOWHU VQRZPHOW EHIRUH LW Ă&#x20AC;RZV LQWR WKH 2WWHU &UHHN It  also  contrasts  with  how  Middle-­ bury  disposes  of  its  excess  snow.  Mid-­ dlebury  Director  of  Operations  Dan  Werner  said  town  trucks  take  snow  from  downtown  to  a  dump  off  Sey-­

mour  Street,  which  is  buffered  from  Otter  Creek.

Hopkins  said  he  could  not  speak  authoritatively  about  the  Vergennes  snow  dump  because  he  had  not  in-­ spected  the  site,  but  given  a  descrip-­ tion  of  the  parking  lot  layout,  he  said  Vergennes  is  most  likely  in  the  clear. â&#x20AC;&#x153;That  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  sound  like  a  direct  discharge,  so  there  would  be  no  viola-­ tion,â&#x20AC;?  Hopkins  said.

Ehlers  said  just  because  dumping  snow  on  riverbanks  may  not  be  illegal  does  not  mean  it  doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  damage  wa-­ tersheds.  He  said  dumping  snow  into  the  creek  would  not  be  harmful  if  it  was  pure  water,  but  said  when  snow  is  taken  from  city  streets,  that  is  not  the  case.

Towns  should  allow  snow  to  melt  naturally,  if  it  is  possible,  Ehlers  said,  or  dump  snow  into  specially  built  la-­ JRRQV ZKHUH ZDWHU FDQ EH ÂżOWHUHG through  the  soil  before  it  reaches  wa-­ terways.  Cities  with  wastewater  treat-­ PHQW SODQWV FRXOG DOVR ÂżOWHU VQRZ WKDW way. $OORZLQJ VQRZPHOW WR Ă&#x20AC;RZ LQWR Vergennes  sewers  would  not  allevi-­ ate  the  problem,  because  the  city  does  not  have  a  combined  sewer  system,  in  which  both  sewage  and  stormwater Â

STATE  SOLUTION Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  made  cleaning  up  Lake  Champlain  a  major  part  of  his  third  inaugural  address  earlier  this  month.  Much  of  the  governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  pro-­ posals  target  agricultural  runoff,  which  the  Agency  of  Natural  Resources  esti-­ mates  accounts  for  about  40  percent  of  phosphorus  runoff  into  the  lake.

Ehlers  said  LCI  was  pleased  that  the  governor  moved  environmental  issues  to  the  top  of  his  agenda,  but  urged  the  administration  to  place  a  larger  em-­ phasis  on  municipal  sources  of  pollu-­ tion.

The  governor  said  in  his  address  that  upgrading  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  wastewater  treatment  plants  would  only  reduce  phosphorus  runoff  into  the  lake  by  3  percent.  Ehlers  said  not  only  is  phos-­ phorous  not  the  only  pollutant,  but  levels  of  contaminants  vary  by  geo-­ graphic  area.

He  said  in  the  Missisquoi  and  St.  Albans  bays,  on  the  northern  part  of  the  lake  in  Franklin  County,  agricul-­ ture  dominates  as  a  source  of  pollu-­ tion.  But  in  the  waters  off  Burlington Â

and  south  along  the  Champlain  Valley  to  Vergennes,  development  is  a  large  source  of  contaminants.

Ehlers  said  while  the  Shumlin  ad-­ ministration  is  right  to  crack  down  on  agricultural  sources  of  pollution,  the  government  should  not  ignore  other  sources  that  could  be  mitigated  with  investments  in  municipal  sewer  and  water  treatment  systems. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  concerned  that  a  commu-­ nity  like  Vergennes,  that  needs  public  investment,  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  going  to  get  it  be-­ cause  no  one  realizes  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  an  issue,â&#x20AC;?  Ehlers  said.

Vergennes  would  likely  be  a  prime  candidate  for  state  or  federal  aid,  giv-­ en  its  troubled  wastewater  treatment  plant.

The  plant  could  not  handle  snow-­ melt  during  the  warm  spell  at  the  end  of  December,  and  as  a  result  was  forced  to  dump  467,000  gallons  of  un-­ treated  water  and  sewage  directly  into  the  Otter  Creek. &LW\ RIÂżFLDOV EODPHG WKH RYHUĂ&#x20AC;RZ on  excess  groundwater  that  penetrated  the  lines  of  the  52-­year-­old  sewer  sys-­ tem,  which  has  clay  pipes  even  older.

The  city  is  working  the  Agency  of  Natural  Resources  to  determine  how  to  upgrade  it  systems  to  prevent  future  releases  of  untreated  sewage  into  wa-­ terways. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  hope  we  can  get  to  a  point  where  WKHUH DUH QR RYHUĂ&#x20AC;RZV DW WKH ZDVWH-­ water  plant,â&#x20AC;?  Hawley  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Of  course  thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  where  I  want  to  be.â&#x20AC;?

Middlebury  OKs  new  vehicle  for  police  department By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  At  their  meet-­ ing  this  past  Tuesday,  members  of  the  Middlebury  selectboard  agreed  to  spend  $23,468  for  a  Ford  Inter-­ ceptor  utility  vehicle  for  the  Mid-­ dlebury  Police  Department.  Middle-­ bury  police  Chief  Tom  Hanley  said  the  vehicle  will  offer  more  versatil-­ ity  and  comfort  than  a  conventional  cruiser.

The  vendor,  G.  Stone  Motors  of  Middlebury,  is  accepting  in  trade  (for  $5,200)  a  2010  cruiser  from  the  department  as  part  of  the  deal,  ac-­ cording  to  Hanley.

Platform  tennis:  Dark,  cold  and  a  whole-­lot-­of  fun By  CHRISTY  LYNN Platform  tennis  is  an  unusual  sport  because  it  seems  that  those  who  have  been  exposed  to  it  quickly  become  obsessed;͞  everyone  else  has  never  heard  of  it.

The  rules  of  the  game  are  much  like  doubles  tennis  and  the  court  looks  very  similar,  albeit  about  a  third  the  size  of  a  tennis  court  and  built  on  a  platform  (hence  the  name)  with  12-­foot-­ tall  walls  that  come  up  on  all  sides  made  out  of  chicken  wire  fencing  that  is  held  in  high Â

tension  so  that  players  can  hit  the  ball  as  it  bounces  off  the  wire  (similar  to  racquetball  or  squash).

The  game  was  created  in  1928  in  Scarsdale,  N.Y.,  by  a  couple  of  neighbors  looking  for  a  winter  sport  they  could  play  outdoors.  They  adopted  the  equipment  from  paddle  tennis,  an  adaptable  street  game  using  wooden  paddles  and  spongy  balls  to  play  on  urban  streets  and  playgrounds  developed  around  1922  by  Frank  Contessa. Â

Platform  tennis  and  paddle  tennis  slowly  merged  into  one  game  as  courts  were  established  with  the  iconic  wire  walls  and  the  rules  of  the  game  were  set  (most  people  around  here  call  it  paddle  tennis).  Over  several  decades  the  sport  has  grown  in  popularity  in  New  England,  throughout  the  Midwest  and  in  other  cold  weather  zones.  As  originally  intended,  it  is  most  commonly  played  in  the  winter  on  courts  that  are  fashioned  with  lights  to  play  in  the  dark  and  heaters  under  the  aluminum  decking  to  melt  ice  and  snow.  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  beautiful  thing  in  a  place  like  Vermont  where  it  is  cold  and  dark  and  snowy  for  much  of  the  year,  leaving  many  athletes  without  many  great  outdoor  options.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;For  me  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  just  fun  to  have  another  option  for  being  outside  in  the  winter,â&#x20AC;?  says  bourgeoning  paddle  tennis  player  Carolyn  Weir.  Weir  is  an  accomplished  tennis  player  and  recently  began  playing  paddle  tennis  with  her  husband,  Ben.  The  Weirs  were  2011  graduates  of  Middlebury  College  and  married  in  Bridport  in  2013.  Despite  going  to  school  at  Middlebury  (which  boasts  two  platform  tennis  courts  on  campus),  they  only  started  playing  paddle  tennis  after  college.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m  glad  to  see  that  more  students  seem  to  be  playing  now  than  they  were  when  we  were  in  school,â&#x20AC;?  Carolyn  says.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  great  game  that  requires  a  lot  of  mental  focus  and  gets  you  moving  around,  having  fun  and  breathing  fresh  air.â&#x20AC;?  Middlebury  College  hosts  two  paddle  tennis  courts  on  campus,  which  they  generously  allow  members  of  the  community  to  use  when  not  in  use  by  college  students  and  faculty.  With  the  small  size  of  the  playing  surface Â

Elite  Eagle  team  tops  Tigers,  37-­25 Sports

By  ANDY  KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  The  Mount  Abraham  Union  High  School  girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  basketball  team  on  Friday  won  for  the  ninth  time  in  10  tries,  but  it  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  easy.

The  visiting  Eagles  (11-­5)  had  their  hands  full  in  a  37-­25  win  against  a  young  Middlebury  team,  which  has  a  1-­14  record  that  does  not  show  the  progress  the  Tigers  have  made  in  recent  weeks.

While  the  Eagles  looked  like  they  were  getting  ready  to  defend  their  Division  II  title,  the  Tigers  looked  like  they  are  making  strides.  Al-­ though  too  few  shots  dropped,  they  defended  the  Eagles  well  and  re-­ mained  poised  against  the  Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  trademark  full-­court  press. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  starting  to  peak  at  the  right  time.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  taking  baby  steps  all  along,â&#x20AC;?  said  MUHS  coach  Jen  Heath.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  moving  up  to  where  we  want  to  be.â&#x20AC;?

The  third  quarter  proved  to  be  the  difference  for  an  Eagle  team  PLVVLQJ Ă&#x20AC;X ULGGHQ FHQWHU ,VDEHO Brennan  and  still  without  injured  seniors  Steph  White  and  Angela  Dupoise.  Senior  forward  and  co-­captain  Jen  Gordon  (12  points  and  a  half-­ dozen  blocks)  and  senior  guard  Keegan  Jackman  (11  points,  three  steals)  scored  six  points  apiece  in  that  period  as  Mount  Abe  out-­ scored  the  Tigers,  12-­2,  and  also  took  charge  on  the  boards  after  being  outrebounded.  Gordon  and  freshman  forward  Emma  Carter  re-­ bounded  well  for  the  Eagles.  Gordon  said  the  Eagles  talked  about  offensive  composure  and  re-­ bounding  after  they  went  into  the  break  nursing  a  17-­13  lead.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  really  talked  about  slowing  down  and  running  our  plays  and  getting  what  we  wanted  out  of  it,â&#x20AC;?  Gordon  said,  adding,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  focused Â

on  everyone  boxing  out  and  trying  hard  to  get  on  the  boards,  especial-­ ly  defensively.â&#x20AC;?

Coach  Connie  LaRose  credited  the  defense  of  Jackman,  senior  guard  Ashley  Boise  (six  points)  and  junior  guard  Jesse  McKean  (six  steals,  four  assists).  LaRose  asked  them  to  keep  track  of  Tiger  leading  scorer  Keagan  Dunbar,  a  freshman,  on  the  perimeter  of  Mount  Abeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  3-­2  zone,  and  they  helped  limit  Dunbar  to  10  points,  seven  in  the  opening  period. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  executed  what  we  asked  them  to  execute,â&#x20AC;?  LaRose  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  was  really  proud  of  them  tonight.â&#x20AC;?

LaRose  also  noted  the  Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  progress.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  not  showing  up  in  the  wins  and  losses,  but  I  thought  they  did  a  much  better  job  at  stuff  tonight,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.

The  Eagles  took  an  8-­2  lead  in  WKH ÂżUVW ÂżYH PLQXWHV ODUJHO\ GXH to  Gordonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  six  quick  points.  But  Dunbar  hit  a  three-­pointer  at  2:45,  and  later  her  jumper  cut  the  Eagle  lead  to  9-­7  after  one.  Junior  for-­ ward  Hannah  Buttolph  set  up  that  late  hoop  by  grabbing  her  own  miss  and  feeding  Dunbar.

The  Tiger  defense  then  dug  in.  They  switched  back  and  forth  from  man  to  zone  looks,  and  paid  special  attention  to  Carter,  an  Eagle  of-­ fensive  threat.  Carter  notched  two  points  early  in  the  second  quarter  to  make  it  11-­7,  but  the  Eagles  did  not  score  again  until  2:30  remained  in  the  period.  Meanwhile,  the  Tigers  took  a  13-­ 11  lead  with  a  6-­0  run.  Dunbar  con-­ verted  her  own  miss,  senior  forward  .ULVDQGUD 3URYHQFKHU ¿YH SRLQWV

VUHS  OVER  EAGLES On  Friday,  host  VUHS  defeated  the  Eagles,  59-­38:  Adam  Gill  (16  points)  and  Wesley  Miedema  (13)  did  the  most  offensive  damage  for  the  Commodores.  VUHS  remained  unbeaten  in  the  Lake  Division  and  improved  to  12-­1  heading  into  a  Tuesday  showdown  at  MUHS,  which  is  also  undefeated  in  the  league. Â

Ty  Combs  scored  13  for  the  Ea-­ gles,  who  remained  winless  despite  one  of  their  better  efforts  of  the  winter.  On  Wednesday,  host  Milton  de-­ feated  Mount  Abe,  74-­23.  Combs  led  the  Eagles  with  13  points.

TIGERS The  10-­4  Tigers  won  two  Lake  Division  road  games  late  last  week  to  keep  pace  with  VUHS  in  Lake  Division  play.  The  winner  of  Tues-­ dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  game  at  MUHS  between  the  WZR WHDPV ZLOO DVVXPH ÂżUVW SODFH LQ the  league.  MUHS  has  won  seven  times  in  eight  outings  and  are  unde-­ feated  against  Division  II  foes.

On  Thursday,  the  Tigers  snapped  a  late  56-­56  tie  at  Missisquoi  with  a  7-­2  run  to  prevail,  63-­58.  The  T-­

Selectman  Dave  Atherton  was  appointed  board  chair  at  that  meet-­ ing,  with  Selectman  Ethan  Swift  ap-­ pointed  vice  chair.  This  came  two  weeks  after  then-­board  chair  Maria  Ammatuna  suddenly  tendered  her Â

On  her  recommendation,  the  se-­ lectboard  appointed  Seth  Hopkins  to  Ammatunaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  vacant  seat  until  the  March  2  town  meeting.  Hopkins  re-­ cently  served  on  the  Citizens  Budget  Committee.  He  ran  for  the  select-­ board  last  year,  but  lost  to  Blaine  Cliver.  He  then  submitted  a  letter  of  interest  when  Cliver  resigned  in  Oc-­ tober,  but  the  board  appointed  Doug  Bailey. +RSNLQV KDV VLQFH ÂżOHG D SHWLWLRQ with  the  town  to  run  for  the  remain-­ ing  two  years  of  Ammatunaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  seat  on  Town  Meeting  Day.
