Gov. Scott’s speech: Protests amid a call for unity Governor’s troubled 2020 State of the State Address By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Vermont Gov. Phil Scott’s fourth “State of the State” address to lawmakers was faced with hecklers from inside the State House last Thursday. The annual address was carried live by Vermont Public Radio as well as multiple streaming outlets online.

No foolin’: April 1 is Census Day Clerks, volunteers gear up for 2020 Census in Addison County By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | It’s the star of a new decade and that means Census takers will be seen throughout the local area. According to the U.S. Constitution, all persons in the United States must be counted and that’s what is commonly referred to as the Census. Town clerks around Addison County are starting to get the word about the upcoming 2020 Census. Residents should become aware of the Census procedures and to expect contact with census takers. According to the Middlebury Town Clerk’s Ann Webster’s office, “Vermont relies on federal money for roughly one-third of its annual budget. George Washington University’s GW Institute of Public Policy, estimates that, in 2016 alone, nearly $2.5

billion in funding flowed to Vermont via 55 large federal spending programs.” The potential impact of a census under-count is not to be taken lightly. That’s why getting out the word about the 2020 Census is already underway in advance of April 1, Census Day. For the first time, residents will have three options for participating in the 2020 Census: online, by telephone, or with a traditional, short-form written response. “Look for your invitation to respond in the mail or at your door,” according to the town clerk. “It is critical that everyone participate and that all household members be counted. The 2020 Decennial Census (as it’s officially known), will be available online in midMarch. Please do your part to make sure that Middlebury and all of Addison County counts.” This year’s count will determine how more than $675 billion will be distributed to 50 states and localities for the next ten years through more than 65 federal programs. “For Vermonters, the stakes are high,” according to Webster. “These programs include special education funding, school lunch programs, meals on wheels, fuel assistance, Medicare, housing rehabilitation, community economic development and

revitalization block grants, early childhood education and cooperative extension offices.” The goal of the U.S. Census is to collect an accurate count of the number of individuals at each address on Census Day, April 1, 2020. Why is an accurate count so important? Here are some of the ways that Census data impact you, either directly or indirectly: The census determines the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives; it defines congressional and state legislative districts, school districts and voting precincts; it determines the allocation of dollars to Medicaid, SNAP, Vermont highway aid, Section 8 housing, special education grants, S-CHIP, Title I grants, National School Lunch Program, WIC, Head Start, Foster Care, and health venter programs, and more. According to VTDigger, “Multiple regions in Vermont had rates of returning Census surveys by mail below 73% in 2010. Parts of Lamoille, Orange and Washington counties, along with parts of the Northeast Kingdom ranked among some of the ‘hardest to count’ Census tracts in the country.” For more information, check out the 2020 Decennial Census page on the town of Middlebury’s website: townofmiddlebury.org/ ■

JAY |A small earthquake rattled parts of the northern Adirondack region at 5:38 a.m. Eastern Time on Monday.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) measured the quake at 3.3 on the Richter Scale, 10 kilometers south of Ormstown, Quebec, just on the U.S.-Canadian border. The quake occurred at a depth of 6.6 miles as measured by the Lamont-Dherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. See EARTHQUAKE » pg. 2

GRANVILLE | After five months being vacant, Gov. Phil Scott announced the appointment of Peter Reed (I) to fill the Orange-Washington-Addison House District seat. Reed follows August 2019 resignation of Independent Rep. Ben Jickling. “Peter understands the importance of economic development and growing our economy to address our state’s challenges, and those of the communities he’ll represent,” said Scott. “I believe his experience will bring an important perspective to the House and I look forward to working with him this session.” Scott said that Reed has lived in Braintree since 2014, following a 35-year career in banking and securities in Puerto Rico, Chicago, New York and Connecticut. “I am honored to have been selected from a strong field of candidates, and appreciate

the opportunity given to me by the governor,” said Reed. Reed graduated from Earlham College with a Bachelor of Arts in Economics and received his MBA from the Tuck School of Business at Dartmouth College. In keeping with tradition, Scott appointed an Independent to a seat vacated by an Independent. ■

Maple producers in a global marketplace State takes high ground in maple production, marketing By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | You wouldn’t know it, but Vermont competes internationally when it comes to its forest and maple products. And that’s why a recent project by the Vermont Agency of Agriculture Food and Markets (VAAFM) is taking the high ground in facing the issue of a global marketplace. In 2019, VAAFM charged the Atlantic Corporation with undertaking extensive market research on Vermont maple syrup and value-added maple products. The idea of the study was to determine exactly what the market conditions are as well where trends in consumer demand are heading. The agency wanted to develop the most advantageous strategies for local maple producers to be competitive. “Vermont’s maple producers are world leaders in maple. This research will help sugar makers stay ahead of the curve in a competitive market.” Agriculture Secretary Anson Tebbetts said last week. “Vermonters are serving up a sweet and natural product. This research will open up more markets for those making their living off the land.”

WHAT FOLLOWS ARE SOME TAKE-AWAYS FROM THE REPORT, COURTESY OF THE VAAFM:

• Given that maple syrup is all natural and nutrient rich with calcium, potassium, and zinc, it has the potential to play a large part in the healthy snack trend as an alternative sweetener to sugar.

The maple syrup market is benefiting from growing health awareness and wellness trends and has an opportunity to become the next preferred substitute for sugar. Photo by Green Mt. Audubon

• The maple syrup market is benefiting from growing health awareness and wellness trends and has an opportunity to become the next preferred substitute for sugar. Maple syrup contains several antioxidants reported to have anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-diabetic, and antiinflammatory compounds. • Dr. Navindra Seeram, professor in the Department of Biomedical and Pharmaceutical at the University of Rhode Island, has been researching the chemical make-up of maple syrup and discovered that the chemically diverse polyphenols, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and organic

amino acids that are found in maple syrup, can prevent or delay inflammatory disease such as cardiovascular disease, metabolic syndrome, and diseases of the brain. • The top market players in all categories have made efforts to shift the perception of maple syrup from a pure product to an ingredient. These companies are combining maple syrup with salad dressing, oatmeal, bacon, beans, sausage, BBQ sauce, coffee/cocktail syrup and more. These value-added products speak to the versatility of maple syrup as a sweetener and flavoring as well as creates a larger demand for the raw product. • Vermont should focus on sustaining a price advantage over its chief U.S. rivals. They can do so through efficient supply side management including maximizing production, optimizing reduction technologies at low cost, utilizing efficient packaging equipment and through increased demand by continuing to build the Vermont brand of maple syrup so consumers are willing to pay a premium for it, innovating new uses for maple syrup, and developing more value-added products. • From 2012 to 2016, 183 products containing maple were launched in the U.K., including meals, snacks, processed products, breakfast cereals, and sweet spreads. Additional opportunities exist in maple infused alcoholic beverages, maple water, snack foods, and other value-added products. The goal of this research is to provide Vermont maple producers a potential roadmap for moving Vermont maple forward in a global marketplace, while ensuring that Vermont maple businesses remain competitive, high-quality, and continue to support the agriculture economy. The latest research was prepared for VAAFM with help from the taxpayer-funded Vermont Specialty Crop Block Grant Program. ■

MIDDLEBURY | Max Bosco converted two free throws with six seconds remaining, lifting third-ranked Middlebury (14-1, 1-1) to a 77-76 NESCAC win at Hamilton (11-3, 1-1) last Saturday afternoon. Middlebury took a 13-8 lead at the 15:20 mark on a three pointer from Ryan Cahill. With the game later tied at 16-16, Griffin Kornaker connected from downtown to put his team up 19-16 with 10:30 on the clock. The Panthers trailed 26-24 when threes from Tommy Eastman and Jack Farrell gave them a 30-26 advantage with 5:30 to play in the first half. Hamilton cut into the lead, and eventually led 43-40 heading into the intermission. The back and forth second half was highly contested with neither team able to pull away. With the game tied a 64-64, the Panthers scored the game’s next seven points to go up 71-64 with 6:05 remaining. The spark consisted of a three from Matt Folger, an Eastman layup and a dunk from Cahill. The Continentals chipped away at the deficit, eventually leading by one (76-75) with 21 seconds remaining. The Panthers were fouled late, with Bosco converting a pair from the charity strip sandwiched around a timeout to put the visitors up 77-76. Hamilton had a last-second shot to win the

MIDDLEBURY SHUTS 0UT ENDICOTT Men’s hockey

From Campus News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury goalie Lin Han stopped all 27 shots she faced, as the second-ranked Pnthers notched a 3-0 road win at Endicott (12-2) last Saturday. The shutout was Middlebury’s sixth this season and they have allowed only one goal in the last four contests. The Panthers (8-0-2) return to NESCAC play with a road series at Wesleyan on Jan. 17-18. Middlebury put the pressure on the Gulls from the opening faceoff, taking the first 12 shots of the contest. The Panthers went up 1-0 on their 13th attempt, when Madie Leidt took a

feed from Jenna Letterie at the blue line and wired a high shot over the glove of Endicott goalie Alyssa Peterson from the right faceoff dot with 9:36 expired. In the middle frame, the Panthers tacked on two more goals, pushing the advantage to 3-0. Delanie Goniwiecha tallied with 7:43 showing on the clock, sending a rising shot from the right side to finish off a two-on-one break with Sidney Portner. Goniwiecha added her second of the game and fourth in the last three games, five minutes later as she beat a defender and fired a shot through the legs of Peterson for the tally. Endicott had a chance to spoil the shutout bid in the final period with a late power play, but Middlebury erased the opportunity to finish off another shutout. Peterson finished with 34 saves, as Middlebury held a 37-27 advantage in shots. The Panthers were 0-2 on the power play and killed off all four chances by the Gulls. ■

Lin Han recorded a 27-save shutout win at Endicott last Saturday.

Ripton folk duo headline Brandon Music Tammie Award winners Ruane, Duquette By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

BRANDON | Vermont is blessed with a vibrant folk music community. Perhaps best known and celebrated among Green Mountain State traditional-music composers and performers is the duo of Richard Ruane and Beth Duquette of Ripton. Both Addison County musicians are Tammie Award winners. And that’s big news since this award blesses their 2019 efforts with a prestigious Best Folk Album Award for their “Notch Road” CD. Now, in their first appearance since the award, Richard and Beth (along with special guest Mitch Barron) will perform at Brandon Music on Saturday, Jan. 18. You’ll hear moving songs from 2019’s “Notch Road” and more during the duo’s Brandon concert. “Notch Road” also nabbed the Vermont Times Argus/ Rutland Herald’s Best Vermont Albums. But more importantly, “Notch Road” was included in the “Best” category in the popular FolkChef Kitchen podcast which also included Joan Baez and John Prine with Richard and Beth.

Richard and Beth live in Ription and their acoustic performing includes original music with a clear traditional-roots influence; it is steeped in American folk tradition, but reflects the changing world of today. “They are known for their strong, imaginative vocals and harmonies, often compared to classic sibling harmony duos,” according to Brandon Music pre-publicity. “Some of their original songs harken back to traditional ballads and jazz tunes from the 1930s, but also remain firmly planted in life’s current challenges and joy. “ Richard sings with instrumental backing on guitar, tenor guitar, mandolin and ukulele. Beth leads with harmony vocals. In Brandon, Mitch Barron will join Richard and Beth on bass. PBS-TV’s “Austin City Limits” is no stranger to Richard. There, he’s been described as “adept at the fine art of storytelling put to song. His originals speak to different shades of love, joy, mystery and real life.” Recently, Richard and Beth toured throughout New England and appeared on “Folkstage” on WMFT radio, Chicago, Illinois, on “Bound for Glory” on WVBR radio, Ithaca, New York, and at Caffè Lena in Saratoga Springs. The Brandon concert event begins at 7:30 p.m. Concert tickets are $20. A pre-concert dinner is available for $25. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. Venue is BYOB. Call 802-247-4295 or e-mail info@ brandon-music.net for reservations or for more information. Brandon Music is located at 62 Country Club Rd. ■

From SCOTT SPEECH » pg. 1

Scott urged unity in dealing with the state’s “seismic shift” in demographic changes, slowing population growth, job creation, drug addiction concerns, various community challenges, and an overall anemic economy. Following Scott’s speech, Vermont Democratic Party spokesperson, R. Christopher Di Mezzo, reacted strongly. “Governor Scott’s three years in office have proven him to be nothing more than a passive obstructionist trying to get reelected. Since taking office, Phil Scott has done little more than paint a dire picture of the State of our State — reducing Vermont’s stature in an effort to elevate his own...,” according to Di Mezzo. “At Scott’s first real chance to make Vermont a more affordable and attractive place for young people to live, he vetoed legislation that would give folks a raise and guarantee workers a fair paid leave program. This governor claims to be watching out for Vermonters and yet he has proven to care more about corporate interests than the interests of the people who elected him.” However, Betsy Bishop, president of the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, was supportive while distancing the organization from Scott’s pessimism over the demographic data. “We agree with Governor Scott’s assessment that Vermont

is facing a demographic crisis which is defining a challenging future. Yet, Vermont has so much to offer for individuals and businesses,” Bishop said following the speech. “The Vermont Chamber continues to focus on attracting more workers to our state, believing that is the best path toward strong and growing communities. To achieve this, we recommend appropriate funding for workforce training programs, relocation efforts and marketing to encourage people to live and work in Vermont. While many state programs are focused on bringing more Vermonters into the workforce, we need to also be more welcoming to all people. Those are our future Vermonters.” Scott’s support of after-school programs was praised by Holly Morehouse of Vermont Afterschool, Inc. “We’re thrilled to hear the Governor’s proposal on ‘Afterschool for All’ and look forward to working with everyone to make this a reality,” she said last Friday. “We know young people make a better Vermont, and we can work together to provide many opportunities afterschool and over the summer for young people to grow into healthy, happy Vermonters.” Shortly after Scott began his address, a group of protesters interrupted the speech by chanting. They continued to demonstrate uninterrupted for several minutes before being asked to stop. Eventually, Vermont Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman

requested that the Sergeant at Arms clear the disruptive demonstrators from the House Chamber. Law enforcement members from the Capitol Police Department, assisted by the Vermont State Police and county sheriff departments, removed 16 protesters from the chamber without incident. One person, identified as Henry Harris, 41, of Peacham, Vermont, was arrested on suspicion of disorderly conduct. He is due in Vermont Superior Court, Criminal Division, in Barre at a later date. The remaining individuals were released on verbal no-trespass orders. ■

Opinion From the editor

The minimum wage debate continues in Montpelier as the new legislative session gets underway. Last week, the Vermont Raise the Wage Coalition – comprised of more than 30 community groups and statewide organizations – outlined its 2020 principles and priorities as legislators prepare to increase the state’s minimum wage to livable wage by 2024. Local resident Jubilee McGill, a member leader of Rights & Democracy,

was homeless for 11 months - fi nding secure and stable housing this past July. Before being homeless she had worked at a job that made $15 an hour, and she was able to contribute to her community. “I bought a car. My daughter got married. I went on vacation,” Chapman said. “I could live. I am now a burden to the state, that’s how I feel. I want to be a contributing member to the state again, but I can’t do it on the current minimum wage. I just can’t. I can’t live. I don’t want to leave the state, but you’re not making it easy for me to stay.” This editor supports the efforts

Prognosticating 2020 By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER

Among the things I dislike about coverage of national sports are the various articles written about the possible outcomes of future events. It always seems like a waste of time not only reading the article but placing any faith in the prediction. The NFL has had some interesting playoff games the past few weeks but the real enjoyment of watching the game doesn’t come from knowing the outcome but from watching the twists and turns of fortunes that are the best part of the game. If you watched these games, you know what I’m commenting about. If you didn’t watch, you probably have no interest in what took place, so I’m going to try and give you the play-by-play. More important than the NFL are the upcoming 2020 elections and how our world turmoil will

is fighting for an affordable wage here in the Green Mountain State. “Too many working Vermonters are forced to choose between paying rent, buying groceries, and affording needed medications,” said McGill. “I live in Addison County and work in affordable housing, and I have seen firsthand how these low wages can trap people in cycles of poverty when not paid a livable wage. These aren’t choices that Vermonters should have to make and that’s why we are calling on the state legislature to finish the work of the 2019 session and get Vermont on a path to $15 by 2024.” Mary Chapman, of Middlebury,

of Vermonters like Jubilee McGee. No worker should be exempt from earning the minimum wage. Farm workers, domestic workers, tipped workers, workers with disabilities, students, and others should not be exempt from the minimum wage. Working people deserve both a livable wage as well as paid time off that they need to care for themselves and their loved ones. Vermont should implement both a minimum wage increase and a paid family and medical leave insurance program. — The Eagle ■

New Americans

To the editor: I support Gov. Phil Scott’s stated commitment to growing and strengthening our workforce. I have seen first hand the incredible economic energy new Americans have brought to the communities they have joined here in Vermont. We will be stronger as a state when we celebrate and benefit from the hard work and good ideas of new immigrants, just as we have done for generations. For that reason, I would like to bring to Governor Scott’s attention an action he, and only he, can take to welcome new people to Vermont. Last fall, President Trump signed an executive order requiring state and local governments to consent to receiving refugees. So far, 39 states have indicated they plan to continue settling refugees, including 17 states

be affected by their outcome. I have no intention of making any predictions here. Our role is neither to take sides nor endorse candidates, and certainly not to pick winners and losers. But like most national elections we have in this country, the outcomes have a significant impact on our lives. No matter which side of the fence you sit on, or if you are a fence straddler, we’ll all be keeping an eye on the upcoming primary races set to start Feb. 11 in nearby New Hampshire. As the races heat up, we know many of you will have opinions on the candidates, the issues and the controversies that will be sure to bubble to the surface during the year. So, here are a few predictions we feel confident making: We know we’ll get many letters to the editor from readers looking for us to publish their thoughts and endorsements. We also can confidently predict that many of those running for office will be seeking free coverage.

led by Republicans. Governor Scott has not submitted a letter of consent and because resettlement agencies must submit proposals for federal funding this month, the window is closing. Governor Scott, please do not allow the fear based rhetoric of the far right prevent us from allowing Vermont to benefit from families who want to make Vermont their home and submit this letter of consent as soon as possible. — Rebecca Holcombe Norwich, Vermont ■

Bear dogs

To the editor: From time to time the hunting of bears with trained dogs comes under negative scrutiny by some people new to bear hunting in Vermont. This natural resource management tool, hunting bear with dogs, has a long history here

Our goal is to be a fair arbitrator of the information and requests for space. Letters to the editor will be closely monitored to ensure the comments are issued based and fair to all. Once the races begin, candidates will be offered interviews. Major events affecting the candidates may be covered if we view it as hard news, but we will extend comment opportunities to their competitors. Readers that want to profess their support for candidates, as in the past, will be offered the opportunity to purchase space in the newspaper. We may be a free paper, but space is valuable; fairness can only be accomplished when the paper isn’t perceived as having its thumb on the scale. As always, questions or concerns about our coverage can be directed to me. Good luck to all. ■ — Dan Alexander is the publisher of The Sun newspapers in New York and the Vermont Eagle.

In Vermont, and is an integral part of how this state manages its bear population. This management tool has become more important as residents move deeper into previously undeveloped land in the rural parts of the state. The Vermont Bearhound Association (VBA) works closely with the Vermont Fish and Game Department to assure that the bear population in Vermont thrives by being managed in a responsible manner. Together we work to inform the public that the feeding of bears creates a real safety hazard for bears, pets, crops, bee keepers, fruit orchards farmers and most importantly all people. Further, VBA members help the Department address the issue of nuisance bears to try to avoid the use for lethal measures. The VBA works aggressively with its members to make sure all Fish and Wildlife regulations are complied with and the public is

treated safely and courteously. Also, we follow up on all complaints to assure that bear hunting is done safely, legally and ethically. Peer training and guidance can be most effective. The VBA is dedicated to protecting the natural resources and wildlife of Vermont and to this end provides funding for many youngsters to attend the two Vermont Conservation Camps. We provide a very necessary service for bear management here in Vermont, and this service will become even more important as Vermont’s population grows. The healthy management of our wildlife is important to all of us, we want do our part, and we ask for your support and understanding. — Chris Bradley, President Vermont Federation of Sportsmen’s Clubs Northfield, Vermont ■

The St. Albans Raid of Vermont was the northernmost land action of the U.S. Civil War. It was a raid from Canada by 21 Confederate soldiers. They had recently failed in engagements with the Union Army and evaded subsequent captures. The mission, launched from Canada, was to rob banks to raise money and to trick the Army into diverting troops to defend the border against further raids. It took place in St. Albans, Vermont, on Oct. 19, 1864. The rebels got the money, killed a local resident, and escaped back to Canada. Pictured: The captured rebel raiders.

236 Boardman Street, Middlebury 802.388.1100, ext. 232 homewardboundanimals.org MIDDLEBURY | Moe is a very sweet bunny who loves people and snuggles. He arrived at the shelter on April 12, 2019. He and his family were abandoned and a Good Samaritan brought them to us. Moe would do best as an ONLY bunny; he is not fond of other animals, as he was chased by cats and dogs in his first adoptive home. It stressed him out and he wasn’t himself. He’s starting to like touch again and has grown attached to the folks that take care of him at the shelter. Moe needs a family that understands his particular needs. For example, he needs to be able to relax in his home, so one with rabbit-savvy kids (if kids are present) is important. He is pottytrained and enjoys playing in a pen filled with cut-out boxes and other fun things to chew on. If you are looking for a bunny who needs a little TLC and understanding and will definitely keep you busy, Moe could be the guy for you. ■ — Hannah Manley, Director of Development, Homeward Bound, Addison County’s Humane Society | 802-388-1100 ext. 224 | You can include Homeward Bound in your will. Ask me how.

Adopt-A-Pet Everyone knows cats are experts at napping but do you know they’re also hard workers? They’re natural rodent deterrents and they love their jobs. f you have a farm, stable, warehouse, factory, greenhouse, nursery, winery, distillery, junkyard, storage facility, repair shop, retail store and more and you have a problem with rodents, our Working Cat program might be the solution. This non-tradition approach allows these cats to receive shelter, access to food and water and the care they need while offering the service of expert rodent control to their kindhearted adopters. There is no adoption fee for our working cats but a donation would be greatly appreciated. To learn more about our Working Cat Program call the RCHS Adoption Center at 802-483-6700 or visit rchsvt.org

OLIVIA | 4-year-old spayed female domestic short hair tortoiseshell.

Did you notice me from the window? I love looking out the windows and seeing what’s a ll going on around me. I am a bit nosey, but I think that’s a good thing. I arrived to the shelter at the end of December. My owner was no longer able to take care of me. I am hopeful that I will find my forever home really soon. I am a very playful girl. I enjoy being the center of attention and getting all the pets in I can.

Oh, sorry did I almost trip you. I enjoy being right alongside you. So, I often trip people up when I walk between their

legs. I arrived to the shelter that the beginning of November as a stray. That leave my past a bit up in the air. However, I don’t let that slow me down. I am a very affectionate guy. I love hanging out with people. As well as getting my whole body scratched. I would love to find my way into my forever home as soon as possible.

Although I may look a little intimidating, I can say that I am just a big baby t h a t d o e s n’ t realize how big I am. I love all sorts of toys and am just a clown. am such a happy guy when I am with people that all I want to do is jump around and act like a little kid. I know how to sit and give stay. I even try to be a lap dog but that is really out of the question with my size. ■ — Amelia Stamp, Events & Community Outreach Coordinator, Rutland County Humane Society | 802-483-6700 | www.rchsvt.org
