Antique MG car owners assemble for weekend in Middlebury By  MARY  LANGWORTHY MIDDLEBURY  â€”  This  past  weekend,  ap-­ proximately  175  owners  of  vintage  MG  sports  cars  gathered  in  Middlebury  for  a  New  Eng-­ land  MG  T  Register  sponsored  event  featuring  a  rally,  educational  tours  and  entertainment. The  New  England  MG  T  Register,  or  NEMGTR,  was  celebrating  the  50th  anni-­ versary  of  its  founding.  The  organization  was  co-­founded  by  84-­year-­old  Dick  Knudson,  a  native  of  Mechanic  Falls,  Maine,  and  the  late  Frank  Churchill,  formerly  of  Middle-­ bury,  who  died  in  a  car  accident  in  1999.  The  event  began  on  Wednesday,  June  18,  and  ran  through  Sunday,  June  22.  â€œFor  our  50th  anniversary  it  really  made Â

sense  to  come  to  Middlebury  to  honor  Frank’s  PHPRU\ ´ VDLG .QXGVRQ ZKR ÂżUVW FRQWDFWHG Churchill  about  starting  an  MG  club  in  1963  after  seeing  a  picture  of  Churchill’s  MG  TD   in  a  magazine  and  knowing  he  had  found  a  kindred  spirit.  Later  this  year,  another  NEMGTR  gather-­ ing,  which  members  call  Gatherings  of  the  Faithful,  will  be  held  in  Knudson’s  hometown  in  Maine  to  honor  his  half-­century  of  commit-­ ment  as  well. “The  name  sounds  geographically  limit-­ ing,â€?  said  Knudson  in  regards  to  the  â€œNew  Englandâ€?  in  the  front  of  the  club’s  name.  â€œWe  didn’t  anticipate  that  the  organization  would  be  so  successful.â€?

NEMGTR  currently  has  more  than  13,000  members  from  all  over  the  world.  Although  the  visitors  at  last  weekend’s  gathering  were  mainly  from  the  Northeast,  some  travelled  IURP SODFHV DV IDU Ă€XQJ DV )ORULGD RU &DOLIRU-­ nia  to  be  there.  David  Sander  of  Richmond,  who  is  the  Chairman  of  the  NEMGTR  Board  of  Direc-­ tors,  did  much  of  the  event  organizing.  The  commemorative,  celebratory  weekend  was  â€œa  fabulous  success,â€?  said  Sander,  thanks  in  large  part  to  good  weather,  the  helpful-­ ness  of  the  Middlebury  Inn,  the  generosity  of  Middlebury  Union  High  School  for  donating  parking  lot  space,  and  the  assistance  of  Mid-­ GOHEXU\ SROLFH IRU WUDIÂżF VXSSRUW

The  weekend  featured  a  visit  to  Shelburne  Museum,  a  covered  bridge  tour  led  by  lo-­ cal  Register  member  and  MG  owner  Beth  Wright,  and  a  â€œwear  what  you  wore  in  â€™64â€?  themed  party.  Members  also  had  the  oppor-­ tunity  to  tour  Restoration  and  Performance  Motorcars,  a  shop  in  Vergennes  that  focuses  on  old  cars  and  is  owned  by  Peter  Markowski  and  his  son,  Steve. “Peter  (Markowski)  was  a  good  friend  of  our  co-­founder  Frank  Churchill,  and  was  very  kind  to  open  his  shop  to  us.  We  utilized  his  lift  to  inspect  our  cars,  and  we  found  some  safety  related  issues  that  we  were  able  to  rectify,  al-­ lowing  the  cars  to  be  safely  driven  home,â€?  reported  Sander.

On  Saturday,  festivities  largely  consisted  of  MG  related  events  at  MUHS.  About  90  MGs  were  on  display  in  the  parking  lot,  and  many  owners  participated  in  driving  events.  After-­ wards,  there  was  a  valve  cover  race,  where  participants  made  mini  racers  out  of  MG  valve  covers  and  raced  them  on  a  track.  One  special  moment  of  the  weekend  came  at  the  awards  ceremony,  said  Sander,  where  members  of  the  Churchill  family  presented  a  memorial  award  in  Frank’s  honor.  Frank’s  brother  Raymond  Churchill,  Raymond’s  wife  Theresa,  and  their  son  Kelly  were  all  in  atten-­ dance.  An  award  given  to  honor  exceptional  passion  for  MGs  was  presented  to  Rick  Smith  of  Dedham,  Mass.

Still,  if  it’s  an  idea  that  could  help  clean  up  lake  pollution  and  improve  the  water  quality,  it  should  be  seriously  pursued. 6SHFLÂżFDOO\ 9HUPRQW DQG 1HZ <RUN FRXOG DSSHDO WR WKH 1DWLRQDO 3DUN 6HU-­ vice  to  include  key  sections  around  the  lake  as  part  of  the  water  trails  system.  Currently,  just  14  water  trails  throughout  the  country  are  part  of  the  system,  yet  it  seems  tailor-­made  for  a  waterway  like  Lake  Champlain.  According  to  the  Park  Service,  the  Trails  designation  helps  â€œstrengthen  lo-­ cal  efforts  for  recreation,  conservation  and  restoration  of  America’s  waterways  and  surrounding  lands‌(The  trails)  are  the  pathways  of  rivers,  lakes  and  bays  providing  a  connection  for  current  and  future  generations  to  the  nature,  history  and  adventure  that  can  be  found  on  the  water.â€?

The  trail  system  would  not  need  to  set  any  more  land  aside  as  a  park  (though  it  could  if  something  spectacular  were  crying  out  for  protection),  but  rather  use  the  existing  parks,  historic  sites,  museums  and  spectacular  waterways  of  this  sixth  great  lake  as  a  natural  system  to  explore,  learn  from  and  enjoy. 7KH EHQHÂżW LV WKH ORQJ WHUP SRWHQWLDO IRU IHGHUDO DLG WR KHOS FOHDQ XS DQG UH-­ store  the  lake’s  waters  (a  task  too  massive  for  Vermont’s  small  budget).  While  such  aide  is  not  guaranteed,  designations  like  this  can  certainly  help.  The  potential  for  increased  tourism  is  a  mixed  blessing.  While  tourism  EULQJV REYLRXV HFRQRPLF EHQHÂżWV FURZGV FDQ FRPSURPLVH HQMR\PHQW %XW honestly,  it  would  take  a  lot  more  visitors  on  the  lake  for  anyone  to  consider  it  crowded.  Midweek,  the  lake  is  practically  empty  of  boats  plying  its  waters  or  WRXULVWV Ă€RRGLQJ LWV KLVWRULF VLWHV RU VWDWH SDUNV Lake  Champlain  is  truly  a  national  treasure,  as  well  as  a  state  and  local  re-­ source.  The  National  Water  Trails  System  is  one  way  to  spread  that  word  and  share  the  lake’s  spectacular  beauty,  historic  charm  and  unlimited  opportunities  for  recreation.

Changes  to  Middlebury’s  town  plan  were  inherent  in  the  vote The  Middlebury  Planning  Commission  has  proposed  three  sensible  and  modest  changes  to  its  town  plan  to  match  the  reality  of  what  a  majority  of  residents  recently  approved  in  two  well-­attended  votes:  building  a  new   mu-­ nicipal  building  and  recreation  facility  at  new  locations. Amending  the  town  plan  to  comply  with  what  a  majority  of  residents  ap-­ proved  in  the  May  6  vote  is  allowed  for  exactly  this  type  of  situation:  Cir-­ cumstances  changed,  and  voters  responded  to  those  circumstances  by  ap-­ proving  a  proposal  that  would  require  making  minor  adjustments  to  the  town  plan.  That  point  was  thoroughly  discussed  before  the  March  Town  Meeting  vote  and  again  in  the  revote  in  May.  By  virtue  of  both  votes  it  only  stands  to  reason  that  a  majority  of  Middlebury  residents  are  in  favor  of  the  proposed  changes  to  the  town  plan. By  coincidence,  two  other  stories  in  this  issue  of  the  Addison  Independent  indirectly  apply.  In  Vergennes,  residents  are  facing  a  9-­cent  increase  in  their  municipal  tax  rate  of  which  7  cents  is  directly  attributable  to  a  new  police  station  (see  Page  1A).  That’s  not  to  criticize  spending  on  that  plan  â€”  a  new  police  station  was  needed  in  Vergennes,  whereas  Middlebury’s  tax  capacity  has  been  exhausted  E\ WKH UHFHQW EXLOGLQJ RI D QHZ SROLFH VWDWLRQ DQG ÂżUH VWDWLRQ EHIRUH EHLQJ faced  (two  years  later)  with  the  decision  to  replace  its  municipal  building  and  gymnasium,  plus  the  town’s  share  of  work  connected  to  replacing  the  railrway  underpasses  on  Main  Street  and  Merchants  Row  in  the  downtown. Nonetheless,  it’s  certainly  possible  that  Middlebury  residents  would  have  faced  a  similarly  high  tax  increase  â€”  which  stays  in  effect  for  the  duration  of  the  20-­year  bond  â€”  had  residents  opted  for  a  plan  to  build  new  on  the  existing  site  or  even  extensively  remodel  the  exiting  buildings. The  proposal  Middlebury  voters  approved,  on  the  other  hand,  will  keep  WKH PXQLFLSDO WD[ LQFUHDVH IRU D PLOOLRQ SURMHFW WR MXVW FHQWV RYHU WKH lifetime  of  the  bond  â€”  a  bargain  for  taxpayers.  In  Brandon,  voters  there  nixed  the  town  budget  for  the  third  consecutive  time.  In  a  story  on  Page  3A,  voters  were  reportedly  in  no  mood  for  higher  municipal  taxes  even  if  it  means  cutting  back  on  vital  services.  The  message  is  clear:  there  is  a  point  at  which  municipal  taxes  are  too  much  to  bear  and  residents  simply  rebel.  We’re  not  saying  that’s  the  right  way  to  respond,  but  towns  can  push  residents  to  the  limit. Middlebury  residents  avoided  a  similar  fate  because  of  a  generous  of-­ fer  from  Middlebury  College  at  the  11th  hour,  and  because  a  majority  of  UHVLGHQWV ZDQWHG WR VHL]H WKDW RSSRUWXQLW\ &KDQJLQJ WKH WRZQ SODQ WR UHĂ€HFW that  vote  was  always  anticipated  as  part  of  the  process  if  voters  aproved  he  proposal.  In  short,  the  proposed  changes  to  the  town  plan  are  not  a  surprise;Íž  nor  is  it  a  surprise  to  hear  criticism  of  those  changes.  It  is  as  expected. The  process  from  here  requires  the  selectboard  to  warn  the  amendments,  hold  at  least  one  hearing  and  listen  to  community  feedback,  and  then  put  the  amendments  up  for  a  vote  of  the  selectboard.  No  logical  reasoning  would  suggest  anything  other  than  selectboard  approval  of  the  proposed  changes  following  a  vigorous  debate.

But  the  equalization  of  funding  is  no  longer  the  primary  issue.  The  question  now  is  how  can  we  provide  D ÂżUVW UDWH DQG DIIRUGDEOH HGXFDWLRQ to  students  across  the  state  so  that  they  are  able  to  compete  success-­ fully  in  the  knowledge-­based  global  economy  of  the  21st  Century.  The  current  system  doesn’t  do  it,  and  it  has  been  failing  for  years.  It  is  time  the  people  under  the  Golden  Dome  admitted  that  and  made  a  concerted  effort  to  reform  it. With  regard  to  proposing  solu-­ tions,  I  am  surprised  you  make  no  mention  of  the  fact  that  I  am  the  only  person  who  has  a  comprehen-­ sive  education  reform  proposal,  and  I  have  introduced  it  in  each  of  the  last  three  bienniums.  If  you  didn’t  know,  that  is  understandable.  If  you  purposefully  left  out  that  fact,  that,  I  fear,  is  purely  political.

Addison  Independent,  Thursday,  June  26,  2014  â€”  PAGE  5A

nobody,  has  been  held  accountable  for  these  failures.  In  addition  to  this  abysmal  ad-­ ministrative  boondoggle,  legislative  leaders  and  the  governor  continue  to  insist  that  we  march  down  an  unde-­ ÂżQHG SDWK WR D ELOOLRQ WD[SD\HU funded  health  care  system.  The  only  thing  we  know  for  sure  is  that  their  political  promises  of  lower  costs,  better  care,  and  guaranteed  care  for  all  continue  â€”  with  absolutely  no  honest  plan  for  getting  us  there. When  this  effort  launched  in  2011,  the  law  required  that  the  gov-­ HUQRU SUHVHQW D ÂżQDQFLQJ SODQ E\ January  of  last  year.  As  of  today,  there  is  no  proposal.  The  lack  of  any  action  at  all  to  re-­ form  education  funding  and  provide  property  tax  relief  is  another  disap-­ pointment.  For  years,  Vermonters  have  been  pleading  for  reforms.  Yet,  for  years,  those  pleas  have  been  ig-­ nored.  As  the  cries  for  reform  con-­ tinued  last  year,  the  Legislature  instead  passed  a  5-­  and  6-­cent  tax  increase  â€”  knowing  full  well  that  there  would  be  similar  increases  this  year. Even  as  36  school  budgets  went  down  to  defeat  on  Town  Meeting  Day,  nothing  was  done  to  reform  the  system.  In  fact,  property  taxes  will  continue  to  rise  this  year  by  4  and  7  cents,  followed  by  yet  another  7-­9  cent  increase  next  year.  In  November  you  will  have  an  op-­ SRUWXQLW\ WR KROG DOO HOHFWHG RIÂżFLDOV accountable  for  these  unmet  chal-­ lenges  and  missed  opportunities.  It  is  time  for  you  to  send  a  message  to  Montpelier:  Focus  on  the  issues  that  matter  most,  be  honest,  and  get  real  results.  It’s  time  for  a  change.

Dennis  (Continued  from  Page  4A) surrounding  his  house,  and  to  his  in-­ cessant  digging  in  the  dirt  in  a  futile  effort  to  somehow  magically  pro-­ duce  food. Rather  than  quoting  Frost,  more-­ over,  in  our  sessions  he  now  men-­ tions  the  poetry  of  Billy  Collins  and  Mary  Oliver. Indeed,  he  confesses  to  hearing  YRLFHV DQG SURXGO\ LGHQWLÂżHV ZLWK one  of  Oliver’s  poems  called  â€œThe  Journey.â€?  In  that  verse  she  speaks  of  (and  Mr.  Dennis  delusionally  identi-­ ÂżHV ZLWK ÂłD QHZ YRLFH ZKLFK \RX slowly/  recognized  as  your  own/  that  kept  you  company  â€Ś  determined  to  do/  the  only  thing  you  could  do  â€”  / determined  to  save/  the  only  life  you  could  save.â€? I’m  sure  you  will  agree,  Dr.  Freud,  that  these  delusions  of  grandeur  and  â€œsaving  livesâ€?  indicate  a  deep  mental  disorder. As  part  of  his  hopelessly  la-­la  at-­ titude  toward  life  this  summer,  the  patient  has  also  spent  hours  with  a Â

book  titled  â€œPronoia  Is  the  Antidote  to  Paranoia.â€?  Authored  by  one  Rob  Brezsny,  a  well-­known  practitioner  of  the  pseudo-­science  of  astrology,  â€œPronoiaâ€?  purports  to  offer  a  cock-­ eyed  optimist’s  view  of  the  world. Brezsny  even  tells  his  readers  that  â€œit’s  your  duty  to  create  so  much  love  that  national  boundaries  disappear.â€? Clearly  this  represents  a  Napole-­ onic  complex.  Yet  Mr.  Dennis  ap-­ pears  to  feel  this  sick  sentiment  has  considerable  value. Digging  further  into  quack  psy-­ chology,  Brezsny  quotes  C.G.  Jung  to  this  effect:  â€œThe  best  political,  social  and  spiritual  work  we  can  do  is  to  withdraw  the  projection  of  our  shadow  onto  others.â€? Perhaps  a  belief  in  this  delusion  is  behind  a  statement  Mr.  Dennis  recently  made  to  me,  that  â€œmost  Re-­ publicans  mean  well.â€? The  patient  also  quotes  one  John  Ruskin  about  the  weather,  in  a  way  that  indicates  he  is  seriously  un-­ moored  from  reality:

“Sunshine  is  delicious,  rain  is  re-­ freshing,  wind  braces  us  up,  snow  is  exhilarating;Íž  there  is  really  no  such  thing  as  bad  weather,  only  different  kinds  of  good  weather.â€? Indeed,  I  regard  his  belief  in  this  view  as  proof  that  Mr.  Dennis  is  seri-­ ously  unhinged. As  I  entrust  him  to  your  care,  Dr.  Freud,  I  encourage  you  to  bring  him  back  to  reality  with  a  healthy  re-­ minder  of  what  winter  in  Vermont  is  really  like.  I  suggest  you  begin  by  showing  him  photos  of  last  December’s  ice  storm  â€”  followed  by  video  images  of  intermittent  winter  rains  and  con-­ cluding  with  vivid  pictures  of  mud  season. That  should  go  a  long  way  toward  bringing  him  back  to  reality.

Letter  (Continued  from  Page  4A) across  private  property  â€”  and  nearly  every  landowner  I  have  spoken  with  is  adamantly  opposed  to  the  project.  To  add  insult  to  injury,  not  a  single  family  hosting  the  transmission  line  is  going  to  receive  gas  service  from  the  smaller  distribution  lines  that  will  run  to  a  very  small  number  of  locations  â€”  to  approximately  130  potential  addresses  of  the  total  1,294  addresses  in  the  two  towns.  It’s  easy  to  see  why  the  stage  has  been  set  for  controversy.  How  can  we  step  away  from  the  FRQWURYHUV\ DQG ÂżJXUH WKLV RXW FLY-­ illy?  As  always,  the  Vermont  Con-­ stitution  can  help  us  sort  this  out  in  a  legal,  rational  and  respectful  manner  that’s  fair  to  all  parties:  the  landown-­ ers,  VGS/GM,  and  IPC.  The  Vermont  Constitution,  Chapter  I,  Article  1st  spells  out  our  â€œunalien-­ able  rights,  amongst  which  are  the  en-­ joying  and  defending  life  and  liberty,  acquiring,  possessing  and  protecting  property,  and  pursuing  and  obtaining  happiness  and  safety.  â€Śâ€?  Property  rights  are  fundamental.  But  they  are  not  unlimited.  In  the  very  next  section,  Article  2nd  says  â€œThat  private  property  ought  to  be  subservient  to  public  uses  when  necessity  requires  it,  nevertheless,  whenever  any  person’s  property  is  taken  for  the  use  of  the  public,  the  owner  ought  to  receive  an  equivalent  in  money.â€?  The  beauty  of  our  Constitution  lies  in  its  balancing  of  potentially  con-­ Ă€LFWLQJ LQWHUHVWV ÂżUVW LW HVWDEOLVKHV private  property  rights,  and  second  it  makes  these  rights  subservient  to  public  use  when  necessary.  This  second  provision  is  the  basis  for  our  laws  on  eminent  domain,  which  enable  a  utility,  for  instance,  to  take  property  (often  in  the  form  of  an  easement,  or  even  outright  sale)  for  a  project  that  delivers  a  legitimate  â€œpublic  useâ€?  of  â€œnecessityâ€?  â€”  that  is, Â

CPG  can  be  issued  for  a  public  good  that  would  be  delivered  by  a  future  project  that  currently  only  exists  as  a  concept,  for  which  no  application  has  been  submitted  to  the  PSB,  and  for  which  there  is  no  guarantee  that  it  will  ever  be  formally  proposed  or  actually  constructed.  As  is  so  often  the  case,  our  Con-­ stitution  does  give  us  clear  guidance:  Private  property  rights  are  constitu-­ tionally  protected,  subject  to  public  use  when  required  by  necessity.  We  should,  as  Vermonters,  guard  our  constitutional  rights  with  care  and  vigor.  In  this  case,  there  is  no  public  use,  no  necessity,  and  private  prop-­ erty  rights  should  prevail.  The  ARNGP  Phase  2  applica-­ tion  (Docket  8180)  is  before  the  PSB  now.  I  urge  you  to  help  protect  the  property  rights  not  just  of  the  residents  of  Cornwall  and  Shoreham,  but  of  all  Vermonters  â€”  because  our  constitutional  rights  are  only  as  VWURQJ DV RXU DIÂżUPDWLRQ RI WKHP QRW for  ourselves  but  for  others  who  are  under  duress.  Like  the  mutual  aid  agreements  that  keep  our  volunteer  ¿UH GHSDUWPHQWV JRLQJ ZH QHHG WR “turn  out  for  Cornwall  and  Shore-­ ham.â€?  I  urge  you  to  write  to  the  follow-­ ing  people  and  tell  them  cordially  but  clearly  that  you  oppose  ARNGP  Phase  2  (Docket  8180):  James  Volz,  Chair,  Vermont  Public  Service  Board;Íž  Chris  Recchia,  Commis-­ sioner,  Vermont  Department  of  Public  Service;Íž  and  Peter  Shumlin,  Governor.  ARNGP  Phase  2  may  appear  to  some  as  â€œfree  money,â€?  but  it  comes  at  far  too  high  a  constitutional  price.  For  the  record,  while  I  do  serve  in  the  Vermont  Senate,  I  submitted  this  commentary,  and  a  longer  more  for-­ mal  comment  to  the  PSB,  as  a  citizen  of  the  state,  not  as  a  legislator Christopher  A.  Bray New  Haven

Health  care  and  the  economy  are  not  the  only  issues  in  the  guberna-­ torial  election.  But  the  absence  of  strong  opposing  candidates  makes  it  less  likely  that  Shumlin  will  be Â

Vergennes  seeks  input  on  city  plan By  ANDY  KIRKALDY VERGENNES  â€”  Vergennes  resi-­ dents  on  Monday  will  have  a  chance  to  learn  more  about  and  weigh  in  on  a  QHZ PXQLFLSDO SODQ WKDW FLW\ RIÂżFLDOV are  calling  an  update  to  the  2009  plan,  not  a  rewrite. The  city  planning  commission  has  set  a  public  hearing  on  the  updated  plan  at  7  p.m.  on  Monday,  June  30,  in  WKH 9HUJHQQHV ÂżUH GHSDUWPHQW EDVH-­ ment  meeting  room.  Planning  commission  chairman  Shannon  Haggett  handed  a  two-­page  summary  of  proposed  changes  to  the  Vergennes  City  Council  on  June  17,  and  that  summary  will  be  available  at  Monday’s  meeting. On  the  17th,  Haggett  told  aldermen  that  planners  have  not  made  major  revisions  to  a  2009  document  that  was  honored  as  Vermont’s  municipal  plan  of  the  year,  but  has  now  reached  its  VWDWH PDQGDWHG ÂżYH \HDU H[SLUDWLRQ date.   â€œThe  2009  plan  was  a  fantastic  plan,â€?  Haggett  said.  â€œSo  we’re  not  â€Ś  making  a  lot  of  changes.â€? Mayor  Bill  Benton  and  aldermen  said  they  appreciated  that  logic. “Don’t  change  it  if  it  isn’t  broken,â€?  Benton  said. Haggett  said  he  hopes  to  forward  the  plan  update  to  the  council  soon  after  Monday’s  hearing.  State  law  requires  aldermen  to  hold  at  least  two  hearings  before  they  can  adopt  it,  something  Haggett  is  optimistic  can  be  done  by  September,  a  month  before  the  current  plan  is  set  to  expire. “It  is  my  hope  that  all  of  this  will  be  completed  by  the  end  of  September,â€?  he  said. Aldermen  approved  the  2009  plan  after  extensive  public  input,  consider-­ able  debate  at  the  council  level,  and  a  few  late  changes  recommended  by  planners  to  soften  some  language.  Most  of  those  changes  related  to  design  standards  for  the  existing Â

Central  Business  and  new  Historic  Neighborhood  districts. Plans  do  not  create  zoning,  but  form  the  basis  upon  which  new  zoning  laws  can  be  written.  Among  other  things,  the  2009  city  plan  laid  the  groundwork  for  the  new  Historic  Neighborhood  zone  in  the  city’s  older  residential  areas  and  the  new  Northern  Gateway  district  on  North  Main  Street.  Within  those  districts,  it  provided  for  zoning  laws  that  regulate  the Â

“It is my hope that all of this will be completed by the end of September.â€? — Planning commission chair Shannon Haggett general  appearance  of  downtown  buildings  and  the  placement  of  homes  on  lots  in  older  neighborhoods. The  plan  also  allowed  for  new  zoning  that  raises  the  application  bar  for  and  sets  design  limitations  on  fran-­ chise  businesses,  and  in  older  neigh-­ borhoods  rules  that  ease  setback  rules  to  allow  homeowners  to  build  struc-­ tures  like  sheds,  garages  and  decks  closer  to  boundary  lines,  as  had  been  already  typical  in  those  areas.

Haggett  said  the  plan  update  includes  the  zoning  changes  made  to  comply  with  the  2009  plan. “Perhaps  a  more  appropriate  way  to  identify  these  particular  set  of  changes  ZRXOG KDYH EHHQ WR ZULWH Âľ&ODULÂżHG

By  ADDISON  INDEPENDENT  STAFF SALISBURY  â€”  An  Addison  County  Superior  Court  judge  has  ordered  a  Salisbury  man  held  with-­ out  bail  as  he  prepares  to  answer  to  a  count  of   aggravated  sexual  assault  and  kidnapping,  stemming  from  allegations  filed  against  him  this  past  spring  by  a  former  live-­in  girlfriend. James  E.  Davis,  51,  is  facing  the  felony  charge,  which  carry  a  potential  penalty  of  10  years  to  life  in  prison  and  up  to  a  $50,000  fine  if  convicted.  He  is  currently  being  held  at  the  Marble  Valley  Correctional  Center  and  faces  a  status  conference  hearing  on  his  case  on  Aug.  25. Davis  is  a  registered  sex  offender  with  a  conviction  for  felony  1st  degree  sexual  abuse  in  New  York  in  2001,  according  to  court  records. Vermont  State  Police  Det.  Cpl.  Chris  Campbell  interviewed  the  alleged  victim  on  May  13,  while  she  was  being  examined  at  Porter  Hospital.  She  told  Campbell  that  she  had  been  living  with  Campbell  for  around  six  years,  but  added  their  relationship  had  changed  several  weeks  earlier  due  to  Davis’s  â€œanger  management  issues,â€?  according  to  records  on  file  at  the  Addison  County  courthouse. The  woman  told  police  that  Davis  had  convinced  her  to Â

accompany  him  on  a  business  trip  to  Pennsylvania  two  weeks  prior,  according  to  court  documents.  She  said  Davis  had  booked  one  hotel  room  with  one  bed,  in  spite  of  her  having  asked  for  a  sepa-­ rate  bed,  according  to  the  police  investigation. “She  agreed  to  share  the  bed  but  made  it  clear  she  did  not  want  any  intimate  interaction  between  them,â€?  the  police  affidavit  states. The  woman  claimed  she  woke  up  later  that  night  to  find  Davis  climbing  on  top  of  her  and  sexually  assaulting  her,  according  to  court  records. The  woman  also  reported  being  assaulted  by  Davis  during  the  morning  of  May  13,  according  to  court  records.  She  alleged  that  Davis  grabbed  her  in  a  â€œbear  hugâ€?  and  threw  her  onto  a  couch. “(The  victim)  advised  she  continued  to  yell  for  him  to  stop  and  began  kicking  him  in  the  torso  when  she  could,â€?  court  records  state. But  Davis  was  allegedly  able  to  remove  her  clothes,  at  which  point  the  victim  â€œknew  he  intended  to  rape  her,â€?  the  affidavit  states.  Davis  then  allegedly  threw  her  into  a  recliner,  then  grabbed  her  and  placed  her  on  a  bed  and  sexually  assaulted  her,  according  to  court  records. Campbell  said  he  noted  the Â

victim’s  right  hand  was  â€œcovered  in  bloodâ€?  as  a  result  of  an  injury  she  had  sustained  to  her  middle  finger  during  the  alleged  assault.  The  victim  said  she  cut  the  finger  on  a  cross  that  David  had  allegedly  been  wearing  around  his  neck,  according  to  the  affidavit. Campbell  interviewed  Davis  later  that  day,  during  which  he  referred  to  the  Pennsylvania  trip  and  alleg-­ edly  admitted  that  the  victim  had  â€œprobably  told  him  to  stop  and  that  she  didn’t  want  to  have  sex  but  he  was  very  confused  because  of  the  status  of  their  relationship,â€?  according  to  court  records.  Davis  told  police  that  he  was  aware  that  the  victim  had  become  involved  with  another  man. Davis  also  told  police  that  he  had  threatened  to  kill  himself  and  that  the  victim  had  hidden  his  guns  from  him,  according  to  police  records. Court  records  indicate  that  Davis  admitted  to  police  that  he  had  tried  to  have  sex  with  the  victim  during  the  morning  of  May  13.  Campbell  asked  Davis  about  a  â€œlarge  scratch  down  the  middle  of  his  forehead,â€?  and  Davis  said  he  likely  sustained  it  while  fighting  with  the  victim,  according  to  the  police  affidavit. Davis  was  initially  lodged  on  $10,000  bail,  but  county  pros-­ ecutors  succeeded  in  having  bail  revoked,  according  to  court  records.

Bristol  man  arrested  in   gun  assault BRISTOL  â€”  Bristol  police  on  June  24  arrested  a  town  man  on  suspicion  of  first  degree  aggra-­ vated  domestic  assault  and  provid-­ ing  false  information  to  police.  Police  said  Damian  Scott  Sulger,  20,  assaulted  another  person Â

and  then  threatened  that  person  with  a  gun.  Police  responded  to  a  report  of  an  assault  at  a  Main  Street  residence  around  10:30  p.m.  Tuesday  evening.  When  they  arrived,  Sulger  had  fled  the  scene,  but  police  located  him  on  Garfield Â

Vermont  Gas  wins  permits,  but  needs  more  easements By  ZACH  DESPART ADDISON  COUNTY  â€”  Ver-­ mont  Gas  Systems  announced  Tuesday  that  it  has  secured  all  the  permits  it  needs  for  Phase  I  of  the  Addison-­Rutland  Natural  Gas  Proj-­ ect,  but  the  company  has  little  more  than  half  of  the  land  easements  it  needs  to  complete  the  project. The  South  Burlington  company  had  been  waiting  on  permits  from  the  U.S.  Army  Corps  of  Engineers,  and  had  already  secured  all  neces-­ sary  state  permits.

with  the  youngest  boys,  some  as  young  as  10,  in  the  front.  The  youngest  boys  wore  traditional  black  robes  with  large  white  collars,  while  the  young  men  wore  suits  and  ties.  At  one  point  it  was  explained  that  the  choir  was  juggling  more  than  eight  parts  per  song  and  as  such  were  liable  to  slip  up,  but  the  boys  and  young  men  VDQJ ZLWK FRQÂżGHQW H[SHUWLVH The  tour  has  been  a  homecoming  of  sorts  for  Feiber,  who  has  enjoyed  introducing  the  choir  to  his  friends  in  Middlebury.  â€œIt  was  hard  to  emotionally  prepare  for  this  because  it’s  basically  bringing  both  of  my  worlds  together  in  a  way,  because  I  very  much  enjoy  singing  with  them  because  its  just  so  uplift-­ ing,â€?  he  said.  â€œBecause  whenever  I  come  in  the  summer  I  leave  refreshed  and  rich,  which  is  great.  Being  able  to  bring  those  two  worlds  together  is  just  â€Ś  I  didn’t  think  that  was  going  to  happen.  But  it  did.  So  it  feels  won-­ derful.  And  they  are  all  enjoying  it  so  much. “When  I  left  Germany  to  go  on  this  exchange,â€?  he  continued,  â€œI  didn’t  dream  about  coming  back  here  at  least  once  a  year  for  every  year  after  that,  so  it’s  â€Ś  wow.â€?

Hawley  said. Overall,  police  spending  rose  by  about  $189,000,  including  paying  the  bond  for  and  maintenance  on  the  new  station.  Â‡ IRU JHQHUDO H[SHQVHV ZKLFK LQFOXGHV WKH FLW\ÂśV VKDUH RI ÂżUH and  recycling  costs;Íž  support  for  the  Bixby  Library,  Vergennes  Partner-­ ship,  Vergennes  Area  Rescue  Squad,  Addison  County  Transit  Resources  and  other  organizations;Íž  county  tax;Íž  and  Vergennes  Day  funding.  Hawley  said  an  increase  in  the  VARS  assess-­ ment  from  $12,940  to  $16,822  was  WKH RQO\ VLJQLÂżFDQW FKDQJH ‡ IRU DSSURSULDWLRQV DS-­ proved  by  residents  in  March,  an  un-­ FKDQJHG ÂżJXUH

Vergennes (Continued  from  Page  1A) that  projected  cash-­carryover  from  WKH FXUUHQW ÂżVFDO \HDU ZKLFK HQGV RQ June  30)  to  reduce  the  tax  rate.  Hawley  said  each  penny  on  the  tax  rate  equals  $22,000  of  revenue.  Therefore,  that  $110,000  reduced  the  new  tax  rate  by  5  cents. Aldermen  on  Tuesday  discussed  whether  to  use  another  $11,000  of  the  fund  balance  to  reduce  the  tax  rate  to  72  cents. Alderman  Michael  Daniels  said  he  preferred  a  72-­cent  rate,  and  would  like  to  â€œchallenge  the  department  headsâ€?  to  save  more  money  in  their  budgets. Hawley  said  that  in  previous  years  the  council  had  preferred  to  leave Â

$50,000  in  the  fund  balance  as  a  cush-­ ion  against  problems  that  might  crop  up.  In  2013,  aldermen  used  $130,000  of  a  $180,000  fund  balance  to  offset  taxes,  he  said.  â€œEvery  time  you  save  that  half-­ cent,  you  challenge  the  fund  bal-­ ance,â€?  Hawley  said. Alderman  Joe  Klopfenstein  cited  what  he  called  the  â€œmagicâ€?  the  pub-­ lic  works  department  had  performed  in  coming  under  budget  despite  a  tough  winter.  He  said  in  preferring  the  $50,000  fund  balance  that  expecting  a  repeat  performance  might  be  asking  too  much.  ³, ZRXOG OLNH D OLWWOH Ă€H[LELOLW\ there,â€?  Klopfenstein  said.  Ultimately,  aldermen  unanimously Â
