JESSIE 1 Year Old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair. White.

I am gorgeous with my appealing white coat and I come off as a very friendly cat.

Sometimes my playfulness and happiness leads to me being over stimulated and then I can start to play rough. I want to be loved, but everything is on my own terms, and if I am not satisfied with what is going on, I have quite a wild side that comes out. The staff and I agree and feel that a barn would best suit my needs. If you are looking for a barn cat that will make you smile, entertain you and can accept that I have some quirks and can be a little rough around the edges, I may be a wonderful fit for you.

TWINKLE 6 Year Old. Spayed Female. Siamese.

Are you looking for a girl like me, I will be the twinkle in your eye.

Opponents take another stand against gasline

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ In a letter last week, Addison County business owners, nonprofit organizations, faith leaders, farmers, academics, and community representatives across Vermont asked Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) to pull his support for additional construction of the Addison Natural Gas Project, and urge the Public Service Board to stop construction at the 11-mile mark. Ò For the health and economy of our state we wish to say, Ô EnoughÕ ,Ó reads the letter. Bill McKibben, the founder of 350.org, added, Ò The gas pipeline was planned in a different age, before we knew as much as we do now about the effects of fracking and methane on the atmosphere. ItÕ s important to re-evaluate this project based on updated facts.Ó More than 150 leaders and employers throughout Vermont signed a letter urging Governor Shumlin Ò to close this painful chapter in our stateÕ s history and turn our positive energies toward a prosperous and sustainable future.Ó The signers include household names such as American Flatbread, High Mowing Organic Seeds, SunCommon, AllEarth Renewables, Aqua Vitea, and Maple Wind Farm, as well as beloved local establishments such as Vermont Cookie Love, Northshire Bookstore, and Magnolia Bistro in Burlington. Vermont Interfaith Power and Light, town energy committees, and many Vermont farmers also signed. Ò Pipeline construction is at a common sense stopping point,Ó said Bobbie Carnwath, a member of the Cornwall Planning Commission and the community group, Just Power. The portion

of the project that has already been constructed will be used for Ò loopingÓ for existing customers, Ò but any added pipeline beyond that point would just drive up costs for current customers to bring in more fracked gas, when better alter-

natives are available today.Ó The project cost has increased to $154M since initial projections in 2011 of $60-$70M. Ò Moving away from dirty fossil fuels and investing in local clean power is good for the economy, good for our earth, and good for Vermonters,Ó said Jon Erickson, Professor at UVM and Fellow of the Gund Institute for Ecological Economics. Investing in fossil fuel infrastructure prevents investments in green technologies, Dr. Erickson continued. Ò Energy from wind, solar, biomass, hydro, and geothermal systems promote in-state jobs and energy inde-

pendence. They just make sense.Ó Pictured above: In a letter last week, business owners, nonprofit organizations, faith leaders, farmers, academics, and community representatives across Vermont asked Gov.

Orwell Free Library recognized for certification

By Michele Farrell

Special to the Eagle ORWELL Ñ As one of our nationÕ s most rural states, Vermont is lucky to have many small libraries with staff who respond to our rapidly changing world.

Orwell Free Library is one such treasure.

Its director, Kate Hunter, is a graduate of the Vermont Public Librarianship certification program. While a number of state libraries offer Public Librarianship certification programs using IMLS funding, the Vermont Department of Libraries is proud to have offered its program for 25 years. Such programs typically require participants to complete 150 credits through classes offered or approved by the state library.

Kate began working at the Orwell Library in 2012 with no previous library training. She found the certification program courses invaluable, especially in expanding her knowledge of library administration, collection development, and cataloguing. Meeting colleagues with similar challenges and state library consultants through the program was an added bonus.

Thanks to her training, Kate now has a network of library professionals to contact when problems arise.

When Kate first began, she saw immediate challenges: Ò The library was years behind; it didnÕ t have a website, offered minimal programming, and lacked many basic services,Ó she said. With few funding opportunities for a library housed in a 19th century building in a

tiny village of 1,200, Kate needed to maximize her resources to make necessary upgrades.

As the libraryÕ s only employee, working 25 hours a week, Kate sought help from Grace Greene, a state library consultant, to assist her in deciding what materials to weed from the collection. After sorting through hundreds of outdated junior nonfiction titles, Kate was also able to add to the libraryÕ s technology offerings, providing four computers with Internet access, e-books and audiobooks through Listen Up! Vermont, and adding access to Vermont Online LibraryÕ s electronic database. With the help of local donors, Kate also introduced an iPad, an Mp3 player, and touch screen computers to better meet needs of the community.

The library also houses cutting edge technology, offering a 3D print program where locals are able to record their voices and have their sound waves printed in 3D. Suggested by an Orwell resident, who also provided software and the printer for the event, this unique offering in a small town allowed residents to record their voices and experience the technology for themselves. In week two of the workshop, participants view their 3D printed sound waves in earring and pendant forms, and use art supplies to learn the basics of finishing a 3D print. In addition to the many upgrades the library has seen in recent years, this workshop brought community members together to access new technology.

Visitors can find the Orwell Free Library on the main floor of the historic Clark property in

NEW BUSINESS IN TOWN — The Rutland region’s latest new business to open is Appliance Depot. The home appliance retailer, carrying major brands and more at the right prices, is located at 439 Route 7 N. in Rutland Town. Penny Inglee, of the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce, said the organization is “excited” about a spate of new business openings since September. Attending the Appliance Depot ribbon-cutting were Dave Correll, Bill Ackerman, Marlene Cenate, Dave Allaire, Kathy Mallette, Phil Keene, owner, Rob Maguire, owner, Rep. Tom Terenzini, Christopher LaFlamme, Angela LaFlamme, Paul Crossman and Tom Donahue.

The buildingÕ s upstairs houses the Orwell Historical Society Museum, which features award-winning exhibits of local artifacts and memorabilia.

Free Library offers passes to state historic sites, state parks, the Shelburne Museum, and the Vermont History Museum in Montpelier. It also offers a discounted pass for the ECHO Lake Aquarium in Burlington.

FENDER BENDER — On Dec. 18, a Vermont State Police trooper responded to a two vehicle fenderbender on Route 4 near the entrance to Home Depot in the Rutland area. Driver Michael Nowak was stopped in his 2002 Subaru while waiting for the traffic light to turn green when he was rear-ended by Shawna Barrier in her employer’s 2013 Toyota Prius. No injuries were reported. Both drivers were wearing their seat belts at the time of the collision.

The spirit of the season in Rutland What lies ahead

A

nationwide broadcast report appeared on FOX NewsÕ Fox and Friends morning show earlier this year; it focused on Bill Beckim and Linda Justin and their community Dream Center project in downtown Rutland.

While the news report put the Dream Center in the national spotlight, and since itÕ s the holiday season, itÕ s worth singling out this Rutland operation as embodying the true spirit of the Christmas and New Year season.

FoxÕ s Ò My AmericaÓ feature turned the spotlight on the coupleÕ s effort to take back RutlandÕ s drug infested neighborhoods in the cityÕ s Ò GutÓ section, one block at a time.

According to Fox, the couple werenÕ t going to wait for local and state government to come to the rescue to save the city from its on-going heroin epidemic. ItÕ s a small step, but itÕ s a step.

Despite Pollyanna talk by some local officials, heroin (and its associated criminal activity) remains among the cityÕ s biggest problems.

Heroin-associated arrests may have fallen off somewhat for the moment, but letÕ s not kid ourselves: drug addiction remains an epidemic in Rutland and elsewhere in Vermont.

Parts of Vermont sporting this diseased culture are as gritty as the graffiti-sprayed streets of the Bronx. That’s why what Beckim and Justin are doing deserve wider attention. Thanks to Fox News, Rutland’s Dream Center got its first, big, well deserved plug.

Fox reported, Ò Beckim and Justin cooked four huge pots of beef stew and headed to the grittier southwest side of Rutland.

They randomly picked a block and started passing out stew, offering help to anyone who opened their door. The couple has done this every Sunday since.Ó Scott Tucker, who directs RutlandÕ s Project Vision--a citywide effort to give Rutland residents the tools necessary to help improve their neighborhoods and create future community leaders--also appeared on the Fox report. Ò I call her a faith healer,Ó Tucker said of Linda Justin. Ò SheÕ s reaching out to people who are sometimes broken and nobody has any faith in them.Ó ItÕ s amazing to see this couple take charge and not wait for local government and churches to do something.

Linda Justin cashed-in her 401K savings and bought a shuttered bar in the cityÕ s Ò GutÓ ; itÕ s now the Dream CenterÕ s community center for neighborhood kids. Ò ItÕ s our goal to see every block in the city of Rutland adopted by somebody because the city will turn around in no time because itÕ s restoring that sense of community,Ó Justin said during the interview. Ò ThatÕ s what needed.Ó Hats off to Beckim and Justin and the Dream Center come true. Their vision and follow-up action is making this a better Vermont-Ñ one neighborhood at a time.

Letters to the Editor Shumlin is a sexist To the editor: Climate leader or liar, protester or protector? The public can decide which is more accurate.

Gov. Peter Shumlin has done it again. ItÕ s bad enough when he does it in our state but he did it in Paris. He dismissed a protester, Aly Johnson-Kurts, with a verbal pat on her fanny. Ò OK, thank you. YouÕ re beautiful. YouÕ re eloquent. É Why donÕ t you run along back to Smith (referring to Smith College)?Ó He really is a sexist, condescending boor. He needs to catch up with the rest of the world. You donÕ t speak to women that way and you donÕ t promote the largest build-out of a fossil fuel infrastructure while promoting our green, renewable energy state. But like he said, Ò Nobody noticed.Ó VermontÕ s neighbors, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New York officials, have come out against these unnecessary pipelines. This type of infrastructure is archaic in light of all the new technologies we have available. To utilize fracked gas in the interim it can be supplied as it is now, by gas islands.

Once we have embraced our goals in renewable energy and efficiency, we will not be burdened with a pipeline that threatens our properties and safety.

Vermont Gas issues an ultimatum to our state board, and they expect us all to be cowed by their demands. Jan. 8 or else!

They set the date, let them live with the consequences or as they have done in the past, just change the costs and the deadlines. Ò On time and on budgetÓ has been their cry in the face of all the setbacks, cost increases and mounting opposition as people educate themselves on the alternatives.

Now the gun is off the table and aimed at heads of property owners along the proposed route. Eminent domain proceedings should NOT be pursued. Vermont Gas says they cannot change the route but they have done so repeatedly when it suits them. I believe the latest request to the alignment was in November. When Vermont Gas requested this latest change they admitted they anticipate more change requests soon.

This whole project needs to be stopped now. LetÕ s not wait until the Jan. 8 deadline.

016 Is here already?

I canÕ t believe how fast the years seem to fly by.

I canÕ t help but wonder if the fast pace of a wired society these days, where we are all so connected, lends to how quickly the years seem to slip by but they Dan Alexander certainly seem to be slipping by at an unbelievable Thoughts from rate.

Behind the Pressline The past year was one of major change both here at home in the United States and around the world.

Terrorism, war, the economy, immigration, refugees, guns, rising debt and election turmoil seem destine to capture the headlines as we move into 2016 and beyond, in what should be another pivotal year in our ongoing nationÕ s story.

ItÕ s anyoneÕ s guess what direction 2016 will take but we know for sure the next 10 months will be filled with major issues as candidates for both political parties do their best to explain what’s wrong and what they intend to do to fix America.

One candidate will convince enough of us that they are the right person for the job. We can only hope and pray that we make a choice thatÕ s right for the country and a new leader can find common purpose that the vast majority can support.

I, for one, donÕ t think the country can stand much more polarization with the constant game of tug-o-war played between the nation’s elected officials. We can’t continue tearing at the very fabric of the nation at a time when we need to be united in purpose.

The audition for role as Commander and Chief is about to get serious as we finally move away from an over crowded field of want-to-bees and into the process of the run-off state primaries.

This will be a time where we narrow down the field, while removing the pollsters from their predictions to discover what the electorate really believes about the issues and who they believe is best suited to lead this nation.

2016 holds a great deal of promise but at the same time presents potential risks to the stability of the world.

We can only hope and pray that reasonable world leaders take steps to lessen the growing tensions and that all GodÕ s people can take a step back and learn to live in harmony on this small planet we are forced to share.

Letters to the Editor Good citizen To the editor: I am sending this on behalf of my mother who is recovering from cardiac bypass surgery: On Nov. 14, I was shopping at Hanafords in Middlebury in preparation for family coming to town. I was preparing to have open heart surgery on November 19th. After making my purchase, I was in the parking lot when a gentleman came running up to me.

At first, I was startled. You can imagine my surprise when he said, Ò Mam, you dropped this.Ó He handed over a $50 bill which I had dropped in the store.

I have since had my surgery and am recuperating at home.

During this time of Thanksgiving, I have much to be thankful forÑ that gentleman and his honesty will always be with me. I hope he reads this letter and knows how thankful I am to him.

Democrats and the carbon tax To the editor: Ya know, some things in life are reliable and predictable, like the Sun coming up in the morning, the ebb and flow of the tides, etc., but IÕ d like to add one more thing to that list.

That being the insatiable appetite of the Democrat Party to find and procure for itself any revenues deemed by them to be in excess of our needs.

The latest example of this outright lunacy is the proposed gasoline (carbon) tax.

We finally get a little relief from rapacious fuel prices and whoÕ s there to stake their claim? You guessed it.

People are leaving the state in droves due to excessive property taxes, lack of good paying jobs, and general fiscal malaise and the shameless socialists in the Democrat Party just keep insisting they know better as to how we should spend our hard earned money.

Their profligate spending on things contrary to our well being is a well-documented fact.

We need a new gasoline (carbon) tax like I need a boil on my rear end.

ItÕ s just not what the economy of our state needs, nor will it amount to a hill of beans as far as global warming goes, or is it global cooling or, oh, you knowÑ climate change.

Our one party rule needs to be examined as to its merit and projected course over the coming years. I see this type of thievery as contradictory to the financial and moral wellbeing of the state.

Next week: Gun control in Vermont, a solution without a problem. Stay tuned.

AmeriCorps NCCC members take a break during trail work in the Green Mountain National Forest in Rutland County last summer.

Vermont parks receive AmeriCorps award RUTLAND Ñ Each year the federal community service program, AmeriCorps National Civilian Community Corps (NCCC), names one project sponsor, the Ò Project Sponsor of the Year.Ó This yearÕ s award winner is Vermont State Parks.

Last week, Reuben Allen, Vermont State Parks regional ranger supervisor, received the Project Sponsor of the Year Award on behalf of Vermont State Parks, during the awards ceremony.

In the narrative for the nomination of Vermont State Parks, a sentence reads, Ò this project and this individual (Reuben Allen), deserve the highest recognition from AmeriCorps NCCC for their relentless presence and care to keep the work available and meaningful.Ó AmeriCorps NCCC, is a full-time, team-based, residential, na-

tional service program, modelled after the U.S. military and the Civilian Conservation Corps of the 1930s, which put young men to work during the Great Depression. Ò We are honored to be recognized by NCCC,Ó said Allen. Ò The work of the team while serving with us is what really deserves to be recognized. The impact of their work ensuring the success of the inaugural Muckross Day Camp and in removing invasive plants from Wilgus and Mt. Ascutney State Park cannot be overstated.Ó The Atlantic Region campus of AmeriCorps NCCC is seeking to increase the number of project sponsors in the state of Vermont. While there is no direct cost to sponsor an AmeriCorps NCCC team, there is an application process.

Vermont Watchdog article To the editor: Based on some recent news coverage (a Vermont Watchdog Report appearing in the Vermont Eagle), weÕ d like to clarify our proposal in the draft Comprehensive Conservation Plan (CCP) related to hunting on refuge lands in Vermont.

Hunting is a priority use and a proud tradition on national wildlife refuges nationwide.

In the draft CCP, we propose more access to safe hunting opportunities on the Conte refuge in the future. We are not proposing anything that would restrict gun ownership or discourage hunting on refuge lands.

If a refuge boundary expansion is eventually approved, and when the Service has funding to buy land within that boundary from willing sellers, we would allow hunting in new refuge areas where it would provide a safe and quality experience that is in line with State of Vermont regulations.

We currently offer hunting opportunities on existing refuge lands at the Nulhegan Basin Division and Putney Mountain Unit.

While we do limit shooting along roads that are open to vehicles in the interest of public safety, there are many miles of road closed to vehicles where these restrictions do not apply.

In the draft CCP, we would continue to provide safe, quality hunting experiences, and also opportunities for people to hike, watch birds, snowmobile, cross-country ski, fish, and bike on refuge lands.

We invite members of the hunting community, and any member of the public, to visit http://www.fws.gov/refuge/ Silvio_O_Conte/what_we_do/conservation.html or contact Mark Maghini at 802-962-5240x112 if they would like to ensure they have accurate information about the proposal.

Major disruptions seen during downtown project MIDDLEBURY Ñ Middlebury Select Board member Dean George reported at a Board meeting Dec. 15 on an earlier Middlebury Local Management Team (LPMT) meeting which focused on a review of the results of the cost reconciliation of the 60 percent design Ppans for the downtown bridges project and updated construction schedules prepared by Kubricky Construction and Patrick Engineering In response to the concerns of town officials, VTrans Project Manager Joel Perrigo noted that, while the respective construction schedules submitted by Kubricky and Patrick vary in overall duration, both show major disruption to the downtown area largely limited to a single year.

The LPMT also discussed the possibility of relocating the ACTR bus stop from Merchants Row to South Pleasant Street during construction, and the possibility of making South Pleasant Street one-way during that period. Members of the LPMT will reach out to South Pleasant Street property owners to explore this possibility.

By consensus, the Select Board agreed to support the Local

Regional Economic Models Inc., was funded by VermontÕ s most prominent green-energy CEO. Ò (ItÕ s the) Blittersdorf Foundation. ItÕ s written in the REMI analysis that there are several foundations that helped us pay for that study,Ó Paul Burns, executive director of Vermont Public Interest Research Group, told Vermont Watchdog.

David Blittersdorf, the AllEarth Renewables CEO who operates solar and wind energy plants across Vermont, is perhaps best known for telling Democratic voters that VermontÕ s plan to become 90 percent renewable by 2050 could require giving up cars and constructing wind turbines across 200 miles of ridgelines. Ò We made no bones about it (being funded by Blittersdorf) Ñ we didnÕ t hide that fact. I think people should look carefully at that study, or any study, and who funds it,Ó Burns said.

In the debate, Burns said the economic modeling analysis shows the carbon tax will create 2,000 jobs, grow disposable income by $150 million, and cut carbon emissions by 2 million tons annually.

Within 10 years, the tax potentially could add 88

www.addison-eagle.com cents to the price of every gallon of gasoline sold in Vermont. The report doesnÕ t foresee job losses as companies cut workers to make up for revenues eaten by higher energy prices. Ò We stand by the REMI analysis. REMI is the nationÕ s expert in economic analysis at the state level. It is their model,Ó Burns said.

Asked how he views studies funded by fossil fuel companies, Burns replied, Ò I think you have to look carefully at them, and I encourage anybody to look carefully at this study. Try to take it apart.Ó He added that funding from Blittersdorf is justified because VPIRG and other environmental groups needed a report to persuade lawmakers that a carbon tax was in the stateÕ s economic best interests. Ò It was necessary for us to be able to do our homework, to be able to present a proposal that we felt would actually benefit the economy and the environment,Ó he said. Ò In order to do that analysis we needed to pay for it. ItÕ s a very costly kind of analysis to do. So you do that, and if people want to throw bricks at it that way, that’s fine with me.”

Guest Viewpoint

Act 64 will hurt Vermont dairy farmers I

am writing to alert citizens of Vermont to a new state law that was recently passed, called Act 64 or the Required Agricultural Practices (RAP), a whole new set of unprecedented regulations being imposed primarily on VermontÕ s small farms by both the Legislature and Vermont Agency of Agriculture.

The stated purpose of Act 64 is to protect VermontÕ s groundwater and waterways and I strongly support reasonable efforts to do so. However, in my opinion, the regulations associated with Act 64 are stunning examples of inappropriate legislative and bureaucratic overreach that appear destined to create a complex bureaucratic nightmare.

I have studied the regulations and apparently my four cow micro dairy in Royalton will be regulated as a Certified Small Farm Operation or SFO by the Agency of Agriculture. What does that mean?

1) I will be required to go through a certification program with the Vermont Agency of Agriculture and pay associated fees.

2) I will be required to obtain four hours of training every five years given by someone in the State and pay associated fees.

3) I’ll be required to become “certified” and obtain eight hours of training from the State every five years to spread the composted manure from my four cows on my own land and pay associated fees.

4) I will be required to keep my little dry stack of composted manure at least 200-feet from any boundary line, private well or waterway instead of the currently required 100-foot setback. Comically, that will put my manure stack on a steep hillside in the middle of the woods.

5) I will also be required to relocate my dry composted manure stack once a year for three years before I can stack it on the first location again. I donÕ t have the land to do that. The manure from my four cows is composted, dry and doesnÕ t leach.

Will my four cows someday be required to become certified to spread their own manure on my pastures as they graze day and night during the spring summer and fall? The main focus of Act 64 should be cleaning up the Lake Champlain and Connecticut River watersheds where there are real problems, especially in the Champlain Valley. Huge 1,000-plus cow dairy farms now line Lake Champlain and dot the countryside.

Many waterways of the Champlain Valley run brown all year long due to pollution from liquid manure and soil erosion largely associated with growing corn in the regionÕ s nonabsorbent clay soils. Decent corn yields in clay require heavy applications of liquid manure and fertilizer. To add to the problem, most of the cornfields are plowed in the fall and left bare all winter so the frost can break down the lumps of clay for spring tilling and planting.

Incredibly Section 5.4 (c) Act 64 only requires cover crops on Ò Annual croplands subject to flooding from adjacent surface waters.”

What an unbelievable oversight. It appears to me that most of the nonabsorbent clay corn fields in the Champlain Valley that are plowed in the fall will still remain open and eroding all winter long through snow, sleet, thaws, and early spring rains.

The Lemon Fair River, Otter Creek and many other Champlain Valley waterways will still run brown on their way to Lake Cham-

plain.

I now live and farm in Royalton, Vt., close to the White River. It is very clean. My family and grandkids swim in it every summer.

Sure, the water quality of the White River could be improved (thereÕ s always room for improvement). Geese and water fowl swimming in the river along with homeowners fertilizing and treating their lawns with chemicals in the White River watershed probably put more pollution into the river than the regionÕ s many small farmers do.

I am not saying that small farms should be allowed to pollute VermontÕ s waterÑ not at all.

LetÕ s simply be reasonable and address the problems where and as they exist. Small farms are the growth segment of agriculture all across the country and are largely responsible for the revival of agriculture and local food production in Vermont. They contribute to our local economies, maintain our working landscapes and produce fresh and delicious milk and dairy products for our communities.

Most have a very low impact on the environment. LetÕ s nurture them and not legislate or micro manage them out of business.

Please contact your Vermont State Legislator and tell him/her that Act 64 and the associated RAPs are simply not acceptable in their current form to you or Vermont. If implemented in their current form they will be ineffective and create hardship and hard feelings for a very long time.

$1,040 from every man, woman and child E

xcluding federal funds, the state budget passed by the State Legislature and signed by the Governor of Vermont in 2011 required $2.954 billion in revenues extracted from the Vermont economy through taxes, fees, fines, assessments, settlements, etc. and deposited into various state funds.

Such funds include the general fund, transportation fund, education fund, state health care resource fund, and special fund among others. For the 2016 budget, the current fiscal year, the comparable amount extracted

from the Vermont economy is $3.607 billion, an increase of 22.1 percent or $652.6 million.

Further, the Governor and Legislature have yet to resolve a pending $40 million deficit in the 2016 budget. The increase of $652.6 million alone equates to $1,040 for every man, woman and child in Vermont.

This 2011 to 2016 spending increase of 22.1 percent compares to state population growth of just 3/10ths of one percent, inflation growth totaling 7.7 percent and estimated gross state product (GSP) growth of 15.4 percent.

Thus we now have a state budget serving about the same number of people as in 2011 but costing VermontÕ s economy and taxpayers $652.6 million more.

If state spending had grown by even the most robust comparative indicator cited above, GSP at 15.4 percent, our government would be spending $197.7 million less and VermontÕ s families and businesses would have $197.7 million more in their pockets to save for retirement or a childÕ s education, invest in their homes or businesses, support aging parents, pay bills or simply

enjoy the benefits of their own labors.

If state fund spending had simply kept pace with inflation since 2011, a reasonable proposition, rather than grow by 22.1 percent, VermontÕ s taxpayers would be paying $425.2 million less this year. Yes, thatÕ s $425.2 million, a lot of hard earned dollars.

The above $652.6 spending increase is beyond dispute. One can go to this Joint Fiscal Office link, scroll to page 32 and calculate this increase for oneself.

Yet, many advocates and political leaders and some news reporters and editorial writers somehow look past the inconvenient truth of $652.6 million in new spending to declare that state spending has actually been cut, even slashed. While some specific areas have been reduced,

a routine occurrence in most every budget cycle, the facts show that state spending has grown by a staggering and unsustainable amount over the past 5 years.

Obviously these increased costs of our state government are not precisely distributed on a per capita basis. Some pay more and some pay less.

As examples, VermontÕ s income tax is relative progressive, our sales tax includes exemptions that cushion the tax for some, and others receive income sensitivity benefits that lower the property tax or earned income tax credits that bolster the rewards of employment. However itÕ s certain most everyone is paying more today to support state governmentÕ s 22.1 percent spending increase.

The LegislatureÕ s widely re-

spected Blue Ribbon Tax Structure Report in 2011 came to the following conclusion: Ò The CommissionÕ s work indicates that everyone pays taxes. This is most evident if one considers total tax contribution.

Total tax contribution is the cumulative amount each taxpayer pays in state taxes considering all types of taxes, including income, sales, and property taxes.

Remarkably, VermontÕ s taxes are distributed rather evenly across income classes when considering income, sales, and property together.Ó When examining total tax contributions for 2007, the Commission found that across income classes, Vermonters pay between 8 percent and 10 percent of their income in state taxes with middle income taxpayers paying at the higher rate.

Given the $652.6 million increase over the past five years, itÕ s likely most taxpayers are paying more of their income today.

Further, in the face of numerous state government failures, from Vermont Health Connect to Act 46 to annual Ò budget gapsÓ , itÕ s likely most taxpayers would agree that a good portion of the $652. 6 million would have been better managed and used more beneficially if left in taxpayers’ pockets.

Stopping distracted driving in Vermont I

tÕ s been one year since Vermont passed its statewide ban on using handheld mobile devices while driving. But, despite knowing the risks Ð and the laws Ð associated with distracted driving, far too many drivers across the state are still using their phones while behind the wheel.

Indeed, distracted driving is a common habit Ð and a tough one to quit.

As our worlds become increasingly connected, so does our desire to stay constantly connected with our friends, family and social media channels. But those connections arenÕ t worth risking our safety on the road.

New research from AT&T shows that seven in 10 drivers admit to engaging in some form of smartphone activity while theyÕ re driving Ð and text messaging is just part of the problem. The study shows drivers are updating their Facebook statuses, checking email, tak-

ing pictures, and even video chatting while their cars are in motion!

Clearly, distracted driving is much more than a fleeting behavior; it’s a bad habit Ð one we all need to work together to break. As we enter this busy holiday travel season, nowÕ s the time to take a close look at our driving habits.

There are tools out there that help drivers break their distracted driving habit. AT&TÕ s DriveMode app senses when your car is in motion and automatically blocks and responds to incoming text messages and phone calls to let those trying to reach you know you are driving and that youÕ ll respond when you arrive at your destination.

But perhaps the best way to combat distracted driving is to help spread the word.

AT&T launched its It Can Wait campaign

more than five years ago to educate drivers Ð especially young drivers Ð about distracted driving. Together, AT&T and the Youth Safety Council of Vermont have visited dozens of high schools across the state to speak directly with students about their driving habits Ð encouraging thousands of students, parents and teachers to take the pledge to never again use their phones while driving.

Every pledge drives awareness, but there is so much more we can do.

Over the years, weÕ ve learned the best way to educate people about the dangers of distracted driving is for them to hear the message from their

friends and loved ones. So please, consider talking to your friends and family members about this important issue.

Take a moment to visit ItCanWait.com and pledge your commitment to keeping your eyes on the road, not on your phone.

The holiday travel season is a perfect time to spread this message. Together, we can build a safer future.

Owen Smith, regional vice president, AT&T New England and James Lockridge, executive director, Youth Safety Council of Vermont.

The Week In Sports

VUHS Commodores lose tight game to Burr & Burton VERGENNES Ñ The Vergennes Union High School boys basketball team fell to Burr and Burton Academy, 57-47 on Monday night. The game was much closer than the double-digit final score, as Vergennes tried to foul their way back into the game late, but to no avail.

The Commodores started the contest well, with crisp passing leading to inside scoring opportunities.

Taking advantage of those opportunities was Josh Lorrain, as he scored 6 of his 10 points in the first quarter, leading Vergennes on a 7-0 run.

Burr and Burton quickly worked their way back into the contest though, tying the game at 9 before the Commodores hit a free throw to lead 10-9 after the first quarter.

Burr and Burton used that momentum to spark a 9-point run at the beginning of the second quarter, which helped them lead 25-23 after the first half. The start of the second half saw more of the same for the Commodores; even though they had a couple quick steals leading to easy lay-ups, they were still behind 4035 after the third quarter, when Burr and Burton hit a buzzerbeating 3-pointer.

Vergennes started the last quarter of play strong, with Commodore Adam Gill scoring six straight points to give Vergennes a 41-40 lead.

After a back-and-forth few minutes, Burr and Burton started to pull away, which lead Vergennes to start fouling, hoping to get the rebounds and put more points on the board. Burr and Burton were able to hit their free throws, and play tight defense to stretch the lead to ten, leading to the final score of 57-47.

Gill lead the Commodores with 11 points, and Lorrain also scored in double-digits as he chipped in 10 points.

Blood drive represents best in Rutland County W

ith war, terrorism and violence topping the news pages and newscasts on an almost-daily basis, social media and ordinary conversation of late has been rife with disillusionment. For anyone discouraged by national and world affairs, one need look no further than the recently completed Gift-of-Life Marathon for a homegrown antidote.

This monthÕ s completion of the GOLM Ð 12 Days of Giving marked the end of the longest blood drive in American history, and the 13th chapter of a unique life-giving and life-affirming annual event. For those who have the privilege to be part of it from beginning to end, itÕ s an annual infusion of goodwill, compassion and celebration of the greater-Rutland area.

First and foremost, the GOLM collects hundreds of pints of blood desperately needed by patients of all kinds. Look around your school, workplace or social club, and youÕ ll no doubt see people whose lives were saved or dramatically improved by a blood donor’s selfless act. That’s why the GOLM is held.

Beyond saving lives, the GOLM’s significance is multiplied by the fact that it helps feed and demonstrate community spirit, reveals the good thatÕ s in people of all walks of life, and builds

Author trio in Brandon BRANDON Ñ The Book & Leaf Bookstore in downtown Brandon will host a new series, titled Ò Writers ReadÓ , which features both prose and poetry.

The inaugural reading will take place on Thursday, Jan. 14, 7 p.m., and will feature three local authors who explore the theme Ò Love of Place.Ó Come and enjoy conversation, and of course, complimentary tea, coffee and sweets.

Steve Zeoli, former caretaker at Mount Independence, will share the fascinating history of one of Vermont’s most significant historic sites in his book, Mt. Independence. He was inspired to write this during a time when VermontÕ s historic sites were jeopardized by threatened budget cuts. Mt. Independence survived and ZeoliÕ s continual sense of discovery, of the place and of its

bonds that benefit the region in countless ways.

Local Red Cross officials revel in the fact that Vermont, and specifically Rutland County, holds the national record for a oneday blood drive. They are routinely asked by their colleagues in other states how a city of RutlandÕ s size could set the record, let alone keep it for the past two years.

The answer is simple: The extraordinary spirit of the community.

On the final day, that spirit and the good in GOLM participants and supporters were epitomized by two anecdotes.

Early in the day, we posted a photo of Vermont State Police Lt. Chuck Cacciatore as he prepared to donate blood with a colleague. In the next several hours, 25 people and organizations shared the picture and dozens made positive comments about the lieutenant, the drive, and the VSP, exposing the GOLM to nearly 20,000 people and helping bring in donors.

Around the same time, as carpenters and lawyers and firefighters and teachers were rolling up their sleeves, a phalanx of college students poured in to volunteer and donate blood. Two of them were interviewed and asked on the radio about their

motivation, and they gave a simple answer that spoke volumes about their character: ItÕ s simply the right thing to do.

The bonds born at the GOLM continue to provide benefits well after each drive is completed. Emme OÕ Rourke and Regina Kohlhepp, for instance, met at the GOLM and went on to plan this past fallÕ s extraordinary Walk a Mile in Her Shoes. Romances have begun and blossomed at the GOLM, at least one resulting in marriage.

Those kinds of bonds, with Castleton University President Dave Wolk, WJJR’s Terry Jaye, officials in host communities, high school and college leaders, local media, and the community at large, create the lifeblood of the blood drive. And they provide a dash of hope and light that reminds us that, for all the trouble in the world, we don’t have to look far to see selflessness, honor and love.

Revolutionary war history and artifacts, makes for a very lively exploration.

In his book, Silver Lake: Beyond the Myths, Bill Powers reveals the origins of one of the regionÕ s secret gems. About 150 years ago, Frank Chandler, a local evangelist and practical farmer established a hotel at Silver Lake and promoted religious camp meetings as well as hosting summer visitors. Come and hear stories of ChandlerÕ s dedicated work, myths, hints of scandal, and tales of weddings, poetry and musical evenings at our own Silver Lake.

Gary MeffeÕ s Van Cortland Chronicles is a delightful account

of a newcomerÕ s love affair with Vermont, and Brandon in particular. Like all love affairs, there are a lot of ups and downs, but GaryÕ s humorous approach to the challenges of adapting from Florida to Vermont informs our familiar Brandon with insights that only a benighted lover would be able to share.

Steve Costello, a Green Mountain Power vice president, is co-organizer of the Gift-of-Life Marathon along with WJJR’s Terry Jaye and Castleton UniversityÕ s Dave Wolk. He lives in Rutland Town.
