Snow Bowl reducing hours for ski patrons

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com HANCOCK — The Middlebury Snow Bowl, located in the Green Mountain range on Route 125 in Hancock, is in full operation currently with the ski area’s “backside” now open.

New snow arrived on the mountain during the first days of March. However, due to reduced weekday visits by skiers during March, the Snow Bowl will reduce hours as noted below.

Beginning the week of March 5, the Snow Bowl operate Wednesday trough Sunday through final season closing day April 1.

Starting March 14, weekday hours of operation will be 10 a.m.-5 p.m., with weekend hours 8:30 a.m.-4 p.m.

According to Peter Mackey, manager, “We’re offering current season pass holders ‘bring a buddy day’, which allows any current season pass holder a one time free lift ticket any day until the end of the ’12 season. We hope you’ll introduce someone new to the Bowl.”

Auditor: Vt. school embezzling ‘alarming’ From Staff & News Reports

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MONTPELIER – Vermont State Auditor Thomas M. Salmon released a situation report Feb. 21 indicating that since the year 2000, approximately $415,000 has been reported missing from 16 supervisory unions or school districts.

The report is the result of an investigation triggered by an incident of wire transfer fraud at the Washington South Supervisory Union last fall.

The event prompted the auditor to question the fraud reporting requirements and the financial controls in the state’s education system. In December, Salmon sent each superintendent and business manager a letter requesting information on any and all thefts, embezzlements and/or fraud that had taken place in the past 11 years. see EMBEZZLING, page 9

SPIRIT LEADERS – A Mt. Abe cheerleader performs at the 30th annual Vermont Principals’ Association state championships held at VUHS in Vergennes last weekend. Despite excellent performances by Addison County cheerleaders, the Essex High School Hornets won the state title. Essex beat out Rutland, 181-177, to nab the title. In Division II, BFA-Fairfax won, beating Milton, 120-104. BFA-St. Albans was third in Division I with 146 points and Winooski, with just five active cheerleaders competing, was third in Division II with 102.

LINCOLN - The Lincoln Community Elementary School will have to find a new way to fund upgrades to their computer lab after thieves made off with over $1,400 worth of copper scrap that was slated for sale to fund the improvements.

The school’s Facilities Manager, Alden Harwood, said that a pile of the copper scrap was brought outside for cleaning and placement into secure storage during the evening of Feb. 17 and left covered with a tarp. However, when he arrived to complete the job the following morning, the copper was gone.

The state police were notified, but to date there are no leads.

The copper was part of the school’s old heating and plumbing system that was replaced during a recent renova-

tion project. Since the price of copper has skyrocketed in recent years, they had planned to sell it and use the proceeds to purchase new chairs for the computer lab and possibly to other finance improvements.

Alden estimated the stolen copper ’s worth after he brought some of the remaining copper, totally approximately 1/3 of what was stolen, to the salvage yard, and was able to sell it for $3.10 per pound, netting $700.

Trooper Andrew Leise from the New Haven Barracks of the Vermont State Police was the responding officer.

Leise said this type of crime is becoming increasingly common, and is often the result of the escalating problem of prescription pill and opiate abuse that has beset the area lately. He said that recovery of this type of stolen material is difficult if not impossible because it is so hard to identify. see SCHOOL STRUGGLES, page 8

was eager to offer advice and lend an ear to the varied ideas put forth by her audience.

One of the main topics was how to raises funds for a new sprinkler system for the Hub. The building has been under ongoing renovation for several years, and now they hope to raise $15,000 to install a sprinkler system. The teens said they are planning a series of concerts and events, but feel that they need some older people on the board to help with fund raising.

Together, Lavasseur and the teens brainstormed ideas, including holding a spaghetti dinner in a nearby community hall, a chowder making competition (wings and chili were also mentioned with a bit more enthusiasm from some of the boys), and asking local businesses to dedicate a time period when they will share a percentage of the proceeds with the Hub, or possibly a 5K race.

Why native plants will love your garden

By Annie S. White

University of Vermont SOUTH BURLINGTON – A native plant, by definition, has existed for thousands of years in a particular region.

Without the help of gardeners with watering cans, bags of fertilizer, and bales of straw mulch, these plants naturally adapted to the conditions around them.

A plant that is native to a particular region is naturally more tolerant of the local climate, rainfall trends, soils, insects, and diseases.

These attributes can contribute to a lower-maintenance, longer-lasting, and environmentally friendly garden. Here are five reasons why native plants will like your garden as much as you like them.

Native plants like your cold winter.

One of the cardinal rules of gardening is to select plants that are tolerant of your local climate.

For a perennial plant to reemerge every year, it must be tolerant of the date at which frost arrives in the fall, the cold winter temperatures, and when frosts end in the spring. The USDA’s hardiness zone map (planthardiness.ars.usda.gov) helps gardeners select plants suited to their climate, but there’s still a lot of trial-and-error when selecting non-native and hybrid plants. A safer investment is to choose native plants, which have already endured thousands of winters in your region. Native plants con-

tribute to a beautiful and long-lasting landscape.

Native plants like your rainfall.

Rainfall is another important consideration when selecting plants for a garden.

Selecting plants that are adapted to the amount of rainfall, and to the seasonal timing of rainfall, will be more successful and require less maintenance.

A native plant naturally is adapted to your rainfall conditions and, once established, generally doesn’t require additional watering.

This will decrease the maintenance needs of the garden and also help to conserve water. Just remember that a native plant still needs to be planted in an appropriate location, which is similar to where it grows naturally.

For example, a native wetland shrub, such as Buttonbush (Cephalanthus occidentalis) won’t be happy on a dry knoll in your landscape; it must be planted in a consistently wet location, such as a rain garden, swale or pond edge.

Native plants like your soil.

Soil characteristics are of-

ten overlooked by gardeners, but are very important to plants. Some plants struggle in clay soils, which tend to hold water, while others struggle in sandy soils, which dry out quickly. A plant that is native to your region and soil type will be tolerant of your soil conditions. Many native plants have strategies for coping with the soil conditions. For example, native Purple Coneflowers (Echinacea purpurpea) have long tap roots that break up the texture of clay soil and are long enough to avoid rotting from the clay’s moisture.

Native plants like your soil fertility.

For thousands of years before humans began gardening, native plants grew, flowered, and fruited without the help of fertilizers.

It’s no different today. In fact, the outcome of fertilizing native plants is often undesirable.It can result in tall plants with many leaves, but few flowers. The fertilized plants sometimes can’t support their own weight and will topple easily in a wind or rain storm.By planting native plants you can avoid

fertilizers, save your time and money, and avoid potential water pollution from runoff.

Native plants like your insects.

Native plants have shared the landscape with insects for centuries. They are often an important food for beneficial insects, while they are less desirable to some of our exotic insect pests. For example, Woodland Phlox (Phlox divaricata) is a nectar source for native bees and butterflies, but are left alone by the pesky Japanese beetle. Save your time, money and the environment by planting native plants and avoiding the use of insecticides.

All of these attributes make native plants valuable to the sustainability of your garden. A landscape full of plants that are adapted to the local temperatures, rainfall, soils, fertility, and insects will be long-lasting and require fewer resources, and less of your time to maintain. You can sit back and enjoy your beautiful landscape and all the birds and butterflies it attracts.

From the Editor

Running on empty?

ermont is a place where you hear a lot of talk about “peak oil”. The term is defined as the point of maximum oil production from proven reserves.

Talking about the end of oil is an apocalyptic sounding topic that seems to have its appeal at Town Meeting Day gatherings, as well as with environmentalists and even a few religious sects.

When I hear predictions of the end-of-theworld-as-we-know-it or the imminent demise of Earth’s vast, primordial petroleum reserves, I listen politely and then go off and do some basic research to satisfy my natural skepticism. (Yes, I am as suspicious of scientific sources as the other guys. I never buy into the many of “either-or” scenarios we hear these days.)

Ok, so how long will Earth’s oil reserves last?

Certainly not forever, but the wells don’t appear to be going dry in this century. Of course, I know there are many who disagree with me. So be it.

Recent exploration in North Dakota’s and Montana’s Williston Basin–perhaps an ancient impact crater–reveals that the Bakken Formation could become the world’s largest discovery at 18-24 billion barrels plus. If that’s true, it makes it the biggest U.S. oil harvest since Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in 1968.

Then there’s the Jack Field located off Louisiana in the the Gulf of Mexico; it may hold 15 billion barrels.

How about Colorado’s Green River Formation, world famous for its fossil fish remains, which extends into Wyoming? It could yield 4 million barrels–not as spectacular as the Bakken, but the Green River by itself could easily satisfy 20 percent of current U.S. consumption well into the mid- to late- 21st century.

How about Canada’s tar sands?

Experts are talking 1.7 trillion barrels or more.

Because of the Keystone Pipeline controversy, a lot of the oil looks like it’s heading to China.

Elsewhere in our hemisphere, a new discovery off the coast of Brazil is likely to produce 50 to 80 billion barrels per day.

I could go on with more western hemisphere oil strikes, but the aforementioned five examples make my point.

Even with Earth’s vast yet finite oil supplies, better vehicle mileage, improved public transportation, energy-efficient homes, even streamlined commercial and private aircraft are stretching supplies to the distant horizon and possibly beyond.

According to energy writer Brad Reagan, “Peak oil theorists argue that production is already

maxed out, meaning imminent shortages and sharper price spikes; more optimistic experts believe that day is 20 to 30 years away.” Perhaps, but “peak oil” has always been a moving target; as more new oil is located and extracted, the “peak oil” moment of maximum production seems to slip away. Thus, I am hard pressed to find the one, true “peak oil” prophet among the many false.

On the gloomy side: Oil prophet Kenneth Deffreyes says we’ll hit peak oil in 2025. “We’re going back to the Stone Age,” he predicts.

On the bright side: Oil prophet Micheal Lynch says market forces, conservation, and new finds are moving the day of “peak oil” reckoning farther into the future.

So when it comes to predicting the end of oil, it’s much like the old television game show question: “Who do you trust?”

Energy writer, Robert Bryce, wrote a controversial bestselling book, titled “Gusher of Lies”, which deflates America’s quest for energy independence.

Bryce said imported oil, along with nuclear, solar and other alternatives, must be part of the nation’s energy mix; he doesn’t think America can go it alone by drilling and solar panels alone. And when President Bush commented that “America is addicted to oil” in 2006, Bryce’s response was “so what?”

It may not be true at the moment with gasoline prices approaching $5 per gallon, but in the very long run, oil prices will probably plummet thanks to conservation, market forces, and as new reserves come on line just mentioned.

And if we absolutely must have organic hydrocarbons to fuel civilization, why, there’s always Titan.

Titan is the largest moon of the planet Saturn. It has vast surface lakes of the stuff in the form of liquid ethane and methane.

NASA estimates that, with only 20 percent of the moon mapped, Titan’s liquid fuel reserves is around 130 billion tons, that’s several hundred times more hydrocarbon material than contained in all Earth’s oil and natural gas reserves, past and present. Amazing, eh?

Sure the big, frigid moon is 750 million miles away from terra firma, but humans seem to have a hankering for fuel and accomplish anything to get at the stuff.

Seriously, I wonder what the per-barrel price of imported interplantary goo would look like in the year 2525? That is, if the combustion engine can survive.

Things N

ewt Gingrich is 24 years older than his wife, Callista. He must be a real charmer, or great in the rack, or both, or, she just likes accomplished smart guys. He was cheating on a previous wife with Callista while simultaneously trashing Bill Clinton for getting after Monica Lewinski. Mr. Gingrich walks on to the stage for Republican debates side to the audience, presenting his prolific girth to supporters and critics alike. He’s not great at walking.

Callista’s hair would pass rigorous tests for safety. I’d rather wear her hair then a helmet while bobsledding. Wonder how much time a day she spends on her hair? I’d pay $5.00 to touch it, $15.00 to muss it, and $275.00 to pull it a little. I believe Mr. and Mrs. Gingrich would be delightful, and interesting company as hosts or guests at a party.

Been saying all along this weak-winter, that snow will arrive just when folks are feeling like spring is about to spring. It’s started and looks like I could be right. 14 inches Saturday, 5 last night, calling for 10 more inches tomorrow night. My money’s on the recent late February snow-falls as being the tip of the iceberg. Heed. Do not let down your guard. There is a large mass of wintrier weather ahead than what’s behind.

Booze, cigs, crack, fat, prescription drugs, lethargy, anger, all pull negatively against our physical and spiritual soul. But, tell you what’s really bad. Sugar. Reason is, it’s commonplace, and humble. Crack, hell, you know if you’re smoking crack.

Same with booze, and cigs, and fat mostly, you know what foods contain fat. You know when you’re lethargic because lethargy is kin to laziness. You know it’s not good to be angry, and because a drug has been prescribed to you, doesn’t mean it’s for the greater good. But sugar, it’s everywhere, and does not announce itself. Bananas, oranges, juice, tomato sauce, beets, asparagus, all contain large amounts of sugar. Did you know that? Oh, you did, but, since all the noted are so-called “healthy food” their sugar is “good sugar” and not a problem for us. Wrong. If you have a problem with sugar, and we mostly all do, too much of even the “good sugar” is bad.

That sucks.

Brussels Sprouts are fantastic for you. At around 37 calories per serving, they contain zero fat (doesn’t mean you won’t get fat eating 100 servings a day - cause the calories, the calories my friend) and cholesterol, they’re low in sodium and sugar ( 2 grams sugar per serving ), while showing 3 grams of protein a serving, which ain’t bad for a vegetable. Lots of vitamins, loaded with C and K. K is found in your hearty vegetables, kale, spinach, and broccoli to name a few. Vitamin K protects bone from fracture, and can offer a great protection against liver and prostate cancer. But K’s claim to fame is it’s central role in the clotting of blood. Do not take your blood’s clotting ability for granted. Eat Brussels sprouts for cripes sake.

Rick Santorum. Love to hang with him. Can you imagine what a polite guest he’d be to your home? Very polite, and literate, engaging. I’m serious. He’s an old fashioned morals guy. What, 8 kids? (one deceased) Church going. 90 push-ups a day.

Former Senator. Married. Masters in business, and a lawyer. Pro-Life. Pro-Family.

Probably hasn’t had sex since he and his wife conceived their last child. So yeah, you get the guy, right? Maybe not. At the time Mr. Santorum started to run his wife she was at the end of a 6-year relationship with a man 40 years her senior. Well, hey, I say go for it. Way-to-go, and hip-hip-hooray and all of that. But … here’s the thing. The dude Karen Santorum was with, was a leader in the abortion movement. He was an abortion doctor. A footnote is that he delivered his x lover, Mrs. Santorum as a baby.

How does that fit in with the Santorum profile?

You think you know someone.

Tell you what. The more curious I am of others, the more I look at myself, the less curious I am of others.

Residents, schools receive Rowland fellowships MIDDLEBURY —The Board of Trustees of the Rowland Foundation, a Vermont-based foundation focused on high school transformation in the state, has announced its 2012 fellowships.

To date the foundation has awarded $2 million in grants to Vermont high schools.

The foundation accepts proposals from visionary educators who, in partnership with their organization’s leadership, wish to improve the culture and climate of the learning environment.

Rowland Fellows receive $100,000 to cover the cost of a sabbatical for the teacher and to provide funding to implement their vision when they return to their organizations.

Alison Moncrief Bromage, a 2012 recipient, is the high school completion plan manager from Vermont Adult Learning in Addison County. She is the first recipient from an adult education program and the first recipient from a not-forprofit organization. Bromage’s proposal is to “establish authentic cooperative community-based learning opportunities for students challenged by the traditional high school model.”

She will use her sabbatical time to build community connections and design internship and apprenticeship educational opportunities for high school students in Addison County. Her hope is that providing these hands-on learning opportunities will enrich students’ educational and local experiences.

Note: The Eagle published Death Notices as a public service. There is a charge for publishing longer, traditional obituaries and photos. Call 802-388-6397 for rates.

Community School from 7 p.m. to 8:30 p.m.

The meeting will focus on the appearance of the building: the overall style of the storefront as well as details such as roof lines and materials.

Bast and Rood will gather the ideas that come from the charette and work with Hannaford to develop a revised building design to present to the Hinesburg Development Review Board.

The Development Review Board is considering other issues beyond those that will be addressed at the charette,

such as the building’s size, shape and overall site plan. The meeting will focus entirely on the architectural design of the proposed building itself.

Bast and Rood will stimulate discussion by presenting some concepts of how the design might vary.

Participants will be free to build from those ideas or suggest new ones.

As part of the process, participants will break into small groups and, with the help of a facilitator, brainstorm ideas for the design of the proposed building.

Monkton wants to know: ‘What the heck is a pecha kucha?’

By Rob Hunter

rhunter@froghollow.org

Librarian Chris Naylor and teacher Beth Greeno spearheaded a celebration of Dr. Seuss' birthday at the Neshobe School last week. The women were joined by the school's first-grade class fresh from a breakfast of dyed green eggs and ham and a spirited discussion about their favorite Seuss books.

Schools celebrate birthday of Dr. Seuss

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com

BRANDON - Students around the area celebrated the birthday of children’s book author, the late Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss. Most schools marked March 2 as the annual date for National Read Across America Day, an initiative on reading created by the National Education Association.

Seuss published 46 children's

books including the best known works, "Green Eggs and Ham", "The Cat in the Hat", "How the Grinch Stole Christmas!", "Horton Hatches the Egg", "Horton Hears a Who!", and "One Fish Two Fish Red Fish Blue Fish".

At the Neshobe Elementary School in Brandon, school librarian Chris Naylor focused a library book shelf display of Seuss books and a life-size, stand-up Cat in the Hat model.

First graders in teacher Beth

Teachers, Counselors, Church Leaders, Activities Directors and Coaches: The Eagle is planning a feature that will recognize special achievements by area teen students in Academics, Service to the Community, and Sports.

Greeno’s class had a breakfast of green eggs and ham—colored green with organic food dye—and discussed their favorite books including a visit to the official Dr. Seuss website.

Some schools will celebrate Dr. Seuss’ birthday next week. Younger students at St. Mary’s Catholic School in Middlebury plan a green eggs and ham breakfast in their pajamas March 7.

MONKTON — The Monkton Community Coffeehouse presents a unique “pecha kucha” event for all to enjoy at the Monkton Fire Department on States Prison Hollow Road beginning at 6:30 p.m., Thursday, March 15.

So, what the heck is pecha kucha? Japanese for “chit chat”, it was originally embraced as a means to keep long winded presentations at bay, it is now seen as an emerging performing art form.

Used in a variety of ways ranging from self and business promotions to high art presentations and story telling pecha kucha (pronounced peh-CHOCK-cha) is springing up all over the place.

Simply put it is a structured live narrative presentation of twenty slides each automatically projected for 20 seconds. It is within these parameters that the Monkton Community Coffeehouse invites community members

to get to know one another.

In looking at individuals and organizations in Monkton a wide net was cast to recruit a dozen different community members to talk about a particular passion, a hobby, interest or endeavor.

The idea of the evening is to get to know your neighbor in a fun and original manor, the more diverse the mix the better.

Topics to be presented range from local history to composting for busy gardeners to the 30,000 days of life: the relationship between living well and mental health.

An intermission will be held with baked goods and beverages available for purchase.

A suggested $5 donation is requested although attendance is more important than money.

Monkton presenters include Andrew Petersen, Gregg Kresh, Matthew Schlein, Jane Lindholm, Pete Sutherland, Gil Coates, Melanie Cote and Warren Dixon, Wendy Sue Harper, Rob Hunter and more.

Panton band to perform at Opera House VERGENNES — The Vergennes Opera House kicks off Local Music Showcase Weekend with a benefit show featuring the local band Panton Flats at the Vergennes Opera House, March 10, at 8 p.m. A veritable super group of local talent, Panton Flats features Andy Smith, Bob Levinson, Chris Myers, Chris Wyckoff, and Josh Brooks. Tickets are $10 and available at www.vergennesoperahouse.org or Classic Stitching. Tickets are also available by calling 877-6737.

from page 1 Salvage yards are supposed to ask for identification and documentation, but Leise said that the thieves can be very clever and deceptive. They may also cut the copper up into small pieces, making identification impossible.

Leise said that the best way to avoid property crimes is for neighbors to be vigilant, and to make note of strange people or cars appearing where they don’t belong. He also pointed out that the Vermont State Police is not a 24hour operation.

Although there are troopers on call, there are no patrols on the roads between the hours of 2 a.m. and 7 a.m., and that thieves are abundantly aware of this fact, making citizen awareness critical to solving crime.

Leise requested that anyone with information about the theft in Lincoln should call the Vermont State Police at 388-4919.

ORWELL — The General Federation of Women’s Clubs of Vermont announced the availability of scholarships for Vermont women who have been homemakers and who have lost their main means of support through separation or divorce from their spouse or the death, disability or long term unemployment of their spouse.

Eligible women are in need of education or training to enter the work force.

Applicants must submit a specific plan for their education or training.

The scholarships range from $500 to $1,500.

The scholarship is named for Barbara Jean Barker, of Poultney, who served as state federation president, 19921994, and who was instrumental in establishing the program. Women receiving the awards over the years have come from a wide range of towns in the state.

Salmon said Vermonters’ tax dollars are at unnecessary risk in many places.

“For a small state, the frequency of incidents involving fraud, embezzlement or theft in our schools is alarming. While it is a credit to many of our school systems that they have reported no known instances of theft, it is clear that glaring weaknesses in controls over cash, accountability and security continue in many others,” he said.

While the above incidents are regrettable, to say the least, there is equal concern that the Vermont Department of Education has no policy for schools to report such incidents.

The State Auditor ’s Office has encouraged the Legislature to require reporting of confirmed cases of theft from any entity receiving state funds on a one-page Form E that Salmon has created.

Applications for the scholarship can be obtained from Loretta Lee, 28 Hemenway Hill Rd., Shoreham 05770, e-mail: lee@middlebury.edu, 802-9482091 or 802-443-5468. You may also obtain a copy at the Orwell Free Library during regular hours. The application deadline is March 15.

The scholarships will be awarded at the state federation’s annual meeting in late April.

Red Cross responds to Charlotte fire

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com CHARLOTTE — On Feb. 28, at approximately 12:22 p.m., the Charlotte Fire Department responded to a structure fire at 855 Guinea Rd. in Charlotte.

The fire was reported by a passing motorist who called 911.

Area fire departments including Shelburne, South Burlington, Vergennes, Starksboro, New Haven, Hinesburg and Monkton responded to assist. Charlotte and Shelburne ambu-

lance squads responded as well as the American Red Cross.

The initial reports indicated that two people were trapped in the residence but when the first firefighters arrived on scene both people were out of the home.

One tenant was later transported to the hospital for smoke inhalation but was released a short time after arriving at the hospital.

The fire departments were able to extinguish the fire but the house is a total loss and damage estimates are in excess of $100,000.

Guest Viewpoint

This idea doesn’t wash on so many levels.

First, it relies on additional ratepayer funds to establish the program and is not an investment of the funds owed.

Second, it’s a loan program, not a refund.

As such it would only benefit those who want to borrow the funds to do a project and does nothing for everyone else, CVPS has 135,000 residential customers.

Third, efficiency is great and Vermont is a national leader in investing in a host of energy efficiency programs already which ratepayers pay for each month. Do we really need another at the expense of ratepayers?

Fourth, other states with utility mergers in the works (Massachusetts and Maryland) have offered similar efficiency programs on top of rebates and refunds to ratepayers.

And those are states with no windfall protection provision in place.

Finally, it’s not the state’s nor the utilities’ money to invest, redirect, absorb or apply to “merger savings”.

The reasons go on, but suffice it to say that this idea is a non-starter from the perspective of ratepayers who reached into their pockets 11 years ago to bail out their electric company and could really use their money back. Should utilities, the state or anyone else be telling these customers how to spend their money? Is there a reason they won’t just pay it back?

AARP does not oppose this merger, nor are we against energy efficiency in any way.

We are, however, in favor of protecting consumers and our members. Even our Gov. Shumlin agrees that these customers need to be paid back. In speaking up for those with no voice, AARP hopes our message is a clear one. And we hope it reaches the Vermont Public Service Board as they move to enforce their order and do right by Vermonters.

Greg Marchildon State Director AARP Vermont

Ratepayers shut out of GMP-CVPS merger As state regulators deliberate over the proposed merger of our state’s two largest electric utilities, they hear from a host of experts, consultants, lawyers and corporations.

Unfortunately, the ratepayers are rarely the loudest voice and don’t have a seat at the table. That’s precisely why AARP Vermont launched an effort to help secure ratepayer refunds owed to CVPS customers as triggered by the pending merger with GMP. The Vermont Public Service Board made very clear in 2001 that the ratepayers who bailed out CVPS with an emergency rate increase had to be repaid. This windfall protection provision that AARP fought for 11 years ago in front of the Public Service Board, is clearly triggered by the merger.

The regulators ordered that should the company ever be sold or merged, it needed to pay back ratepayers, before executives or shareholders profited from the sale. The bailout actually amounted to $98 million, but the board capped it at $21 million.

Mergers and acquisitions can be complex transactions with lots of complicated elements. This is not one of them however. This is a simple matter of making good on a debt.

A matter of fairness.

Instead of refunding the money back to the Vermonters who paid it, the utilities have now proposed creating an efficiency and weatherization program, which satisfies neither the debt, nor the regulator ’s ruling. GMP actually proposes to set up an efficiency loan fund through a third party that some ratepayers could borrow from to weatherize or make efficiency improvements. Then they would pay the utility back through their bills. Where’s the refund in that?

Addison County fire officials meet with VSP MONTPELIER — In consultation with state legislators and fire officials, and as a result of a comparison to national search and rescue protocols, the Vermont State Police is revising its search and rescue policy.

VSP Col. Tom L’Esperance and Deputy Commissioner John Wood met with lawmakers last week to listen to recommendations regarding the Vermont State Police policy.

In response to speaking with public safety officials, House Reps. David Sharpe and Rep.Michael Fisher (D-Addison-4) said the Vermont State Police’s willingness to discuss, review, and modify the policy to include notification and involvement of trained local fire resources was appreciated.

At a Feb, 26 meeting with fire officials in Addison County, L’Esperance and Deputy Commission Wood asked for input to the drafted policy changes.

After the discussion, Vice President Dave Shaw of the Addison County Firefighters Association said, “The fire chiefs

Some 17-year-olds will vote in Vermont ‘12 primaries MONTPELIER — Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos said that in the General Election of 2010, Vermont voters approved a Constitutional Amendment to allow 17 year olds, who will turn 18 on or before the day of the November election, to participate in the presidential primary and the August primary for the year that the voter will be 18 by the general election.

Three teenagers, Ellie Beckett, Courtney Mattison and Katie Levasseur, proposed the

on the association appreciate the opportunity to lend their expertise to the proposed policy changes; which will allow for a coordinated and unified response to search and rescue operations in Vermont. As such we support the Vermont State Police continued administration of search and rescue operations in Vermont.”

According to Matthew Vinci president of the Professional Firefighters of Vermont said, “The public is best served when local and state resources work together to respond to the needs of our state. And I applaud the leadership at the Department of Public Safety for working to formulate a plan that is very responsive to the people who live, work, and visit Vermont.”

The revised policy, which will formalize customary and successful search and rescue practices, includes language that addresses the official notification by the local station commanders or on-scene supervisors to the local fire chief

and the Vermont Fish and Wildlife district commander, as well as the establishment of unified command for search and rescue incidents.

Hartford Fire Department Chief Steven Locke, a member of the Technical Rescue Group and chairman of the Vermont Fire Rescue Services Coalition in Vermont, said, “I am confident that this revised policy will ensure a collaborative response to missing and lost persons by state and local responders and thereby allowing the best chance of a successful outcome.”

Vermont State Police officials said the final policy will be completed soon and disseminated to members.

“There is always room for improvement,” said L’Esperance. “Any agency, when faced with challenges, must be willing to critically evaluate their process and incorporate ever-evolving best practices. The end result is a safer Vermont.”

While being placed into custody, Coursey also assaulted a state trooper.

The state trooper was able to get Coursey into custody.

Coursey was lodged for domestic assault and assault on a law enforcement officer.

change.

Any person who turns 18 on or before Nov. 6, can register to vote, cast a Presidential Primary ballot on March 6, but not a town meeting ballot, and cast a ballot at the August primary.

However, 17 year olds cannot take the voter ’s oath until they turn 18.
