WOMAN REFUSES TO LEAVE HOUSE ON FIRE

MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury firefighters responded to a fire that started in a recreational vehicle’s space heater and then spread to a nearby house in suburban Middlebury Jan. 13. Middlebury Fire Chief David Shaw told reporters that the resident, not identified at this time, refused to leave the house in an attempt to protect pets. The woman did not leave because of four pet dogs that apparently were trapped once the fire spread. Despite attempts, the dogs were killed in the fire. Shaw said that, “This delayed our response of removing (the homeowner)... or attacking the fire.”

Firefighters also tried to save the animals, but were unable to do so due to the flames. ■

Residents vent about carbon-tax plan

By Lou Varricchio THE EAGLE

MIDDLEBURY | Several outspoken Addison County residents, who attended an Ethan Allen Institute (EAI) presentation about a new, proposed Vermont

carbon tax, expressed their displeasure with the so-called ESSEX Plan, saying it will add as much as $1,000 to their current winter heating bill if adopted.

The community meeting was held at the Middlebury VFW Post Jan. 8.

Rob Roper, president of EAI a lib-

ertarian think-tank based in Vermont, discussed the ESSEX Plan at the invitation of Jon Christiano, chair of the Addison County Republican Party.

Roper is kicking off a series of community forums around the state to explain to voters the punitive nature of a carbon tax. » Carbon tax Cont. on pg. 3

MIDDLEBURY | A bill legalizing recreational marijuana was passed by the Vermont Senate this week, after clearing the House earlier. The controversial bill, H.511, is expected to be signed into law soon by Gov. Phil Scott, according to his spokesperson Rebecca Kelley.

The Vermont law enforcement community has loudly opposed the legalization of recreational pot and in recent weeks members, along with other experts about the popular drug, have appeared in the State House to caution legislators about the fallout of H.511 when it becomes to law.

Among outspoken police officials in the state is Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel, president of the Vermont Police Association.

The Vermont Police Association, along with the Vermont Association of Chiefs of Police and the Vermont Sheriffs’ Association, have cautioned Vermont lawmakers to go more slowly on the issue. » Legal pot Cont. on pg. 8

Loon Watch blog irritates, energizes followers

By Lou Varricchio THE EAGLE

FERRISBURGH | When former long-time Ferrisburgh resident J. Kirk Edwards retired a decade ago, he wanted something to keep him busy while remaining active in Vermont politics.

An accomplished landscape painter, former news photographer, and Vietnam veteran aviator, Edwards never lost his interest in Vermont politics even while spending most of his time south of the Mason-Dixon Line.

And so, as his online persona of the “Vermont Woodchuck,” Edwards created his Vermont Loon Watch blog, an outrageous blend of Vermont and national political rants and biting satire.

We asked Edwards to talk about how his Loon Watch site got started and what kind of criticism (or praise) he’s received over the years.

The Eagle: When did you create the Vermont Loon Watch blog?

Edwards: The blog emerged in August 2008.

I puttered around with different names, but Loon Watch amused me the most. Initially, people encountered the blog thinking it was a bird-watching site only to find out it was beating their favorite liberal celebrity and politican forehead flat with commentary on their inane public statements. Readership dropped off fast as a result. But a funny think happened on the way to blogsite oblivion: I went after Burlington morning talk show radio personalities Charlie and Ernie for being afraid to call out the many idiots they interview live on their show daily. That got the show hosts angry at me; they went after me on the air and then my readership suddenly shot up and has stayed in the stratosphere ever since.

The Eagle : What is the idea behind doing this blog? What was the impetus to “poke a stick in the eye” of Vermont liberals, as you say on the blog?

Edwards: The final push came when I heard

former Gov. Howard Dean utter an answer to a feckless news reporter who asked him about his personal, political stripe. In response, Dean gushed, “I’m a fiscal conservative and social liberal.” Well, that sure had enough goo all over it to stick to just about anything.

No progressive-liberal in Vermont probably thought much about that bit of legerdemain. Only an individual with a cognitive disorder could hold both thoughts true at the same time. Just think about that dichotomy: You have to realize that (this kind of) thing is terminal. There isn’t any cure.

The Eagle: Tell us a little bit about the blog’s regular features. What topics/issues do you go after?

Edwards: The blog is now 10 years old and has changed quite a bit since 2008.

For one thing, there is only so much that one can write about government corruption and certain office holders.

Residents of Vermont have the vote, and so does a resident of every other state (if they own a second home in Vermont). Illegal immigrants here? Why not. Who is checking their registrations when they sign the papers here? “Okay, sir, where do you reside?” “Duxbury, Honduras.”

Excellent, come in. Next, please. I got tired of this at the time as President Obama was doing more and more damage to the nation.

What is surprising is the number of people who voted for him, paying no attention to what he said prior to to 2008. Besides, for me, the blatherings of President George W. Bush was enough to bring new meaning to the word upchuck.

I post the “Tune in” feature on Loon Watch, which are cartoons covering topical issues from international to local items. One example is ObamaCare while others include those socalled entitlements in which recipients are not required to pay into the program. Anything to do with climate change gets special attention, too.

The Vermont Loon Watch blogsite gets a lot of readers. Some love it, some hate it. Blogmaster and former Ferrisburgh resident J. Kirk Edwards started the blog a decade ago when he retired.

The Eagle: How about reader reactions?

How do people discover this blog?

Edwards: The blog, like many things, started off small. Now, I have up to 150 readers a day; most come from stateside, but I do have followers in China, Australia, South Korea, Japan, the U.K., France, Russia and other countries. This is all tracked by my blog administrator both daily and yearly.

The Eagle: You spend most of your time out of state, so how do you keep up on Vermont news?

Edwards: I have links to the Eagle, Free Press, True North Reports, other newspapers, and all the local T.V. and radio stations.

Mostly the web provides the fodder.

Loon Watch started off being very political, but it changed. I’ve been after the GOP,

those establishment poobahs like U.S. Senators (Paul) Ryan and (Mitch) McConnell who run their mouths and do nothing but serve their donors and the Wall Street bankers.

The Eagle: From your blog perch, what do you see as Vermont’s greatest problems both socially and politically (policy)?

Edwards: That’s easy: Single-party domination of state government is a form of political slavery. The progressives will call themselves every name from liberal to Democrat to socialist (and anything in between) just to avoid the other name: communist. A rose is a rose.

Vermont is running out of options and Uncle Sam will soon shut off the money pipeline.

This is what I see from looking out my blog window. ■

Northlands names Grangent new director

By Lou Varricchio THE EAGLE

Alicia Grangent has been named as Northlands’ new permanent center director in Vergennes. Photo provided

VERGENNES | After a five month stint as the acting center director, Alicia Grangent has been named as Northlands’ new permanent center director.

Northlands is currently operated by Chugach Education Services, Inc. based out of Alaska and houses up to 220 low income youth from around the northeast, giving them the training and education needed to enter the skilled workforce.

» Carbon tax Cont. from pg. 1 “A carbon tax is not good for the economy,” Roper said.

The ESSEX plan, as discussed by Roper, is the latest carbon tax proposal to be bandied around in the new year.

ESSEX, an acronym for Economic Strengthening Strategic Energy, is spearheaded by Vermont climate-change activists and several progressive business leaders.

“No particular organization is linked to the ESSEX Plan,” according to Roper. “But there are 13 authors who are linked to the climate-change movement.”

Roper cited ESSEX Plan authors David Mears, former Vermont Commissioner of Environmental Conservation, Jon Erikson of the Gund Institute, former Democrat State Rep. Rick Hausman, and several executives of the activist business group Vermont Businesses for Social Responsibility.

“At the close of the 2017 legislative session, legislators presented four different carbon tax bills, H.528, H.531, H.532, and H.533,” said Roper. Roper said that he opposes all forms of taxes and fees on carbon-based fuels.

Roper described the ESSEX Plan as the latest “zombie” plan to pop up in the Vermont State House.

“The carbon tax in Vermont is really like a zombie,” Roper said. “It’s a body snatcher that will not die.” In some African and Caribbean nature religions, zombies are rotting corpses

Grangent has worked in the Job Corps community for the last 10 years at various centers around the country.

Grangent began her Job Corps career as a Dorm Supervisor in 2007 and made her way up the ranks to now lead Northlands Job Corps Center in her new role as Center Director.

“Chugach is pleased to announce the permanent hiring of Alicia Grangent as the Center director of Northlands Job Corps Center,” said Bobbie Irvin, Chugach program manager.

reanimated with the help of evil witch doctors.

Roper described carbon-tax advocates folks as going into “overdrive”.

He pointed out that activists have been stacking public forums with carbon-tax advocates and filling local papers with lettersto-the-editor and guest commentaries.

Ironically, at the close of Roper’s presentation for Addison County, a self-identified ESSEX Plan supporter, a resident of Chittenden County, identified himself to the audience and asked to hand out pro-ESSEX plan literature. Roper said he welcomed “the opposition.”

While the acronym ESSEX may stand for Economic Strengthening Strategic Energy, Roper noted wryly that he likens it, instead, to the 1820 tragic wreck of the New England whaling ship Essex, which inspired Herman Melville’s classic novel, “Moby Dick”.

“The wreck of the Essex resulted in the surviving crew members cannibalizing each other,” he said.

Roper also outlined the fact that the ESSEX Plan, now being considered by many Democrats and Progressives in Montpelier, would see a $240 million tax on gasoline (32 cents per gallon), heating oil and diesel fuel, although not “dyed diesel” which is used on farms for off road vehicles such as tractors (40 cents per gal), and natural gas and propane (24 cents per gallon).

According to Roper, the ESSEX Plan increases are less than those presented in an earlier Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG) carbon tax plan, which

“I am honored and humbled to be given the opportunity to lead the charge to increased success not only for our students, but for our center, and for our community as a whole. It is a rewarding experience to make a difference in the lives of young people,” Grangent said.

The Northlands Job Corps Center is a federally funded career training program administered by the U.S. Department of Labor and managed by Chugach Education Services, Inc. ■ Editor’s note: We regret the incorrect headline for this story in last week’s Eagle.

would have added over a half a billion dollars in tax. But he still thinks the plan is odious.

“Fifty percent of this ESSEX revenue would be used to subsidize Vermont’s electric utilities for the purpose of lowering electric rates, and the other half would be redistributed to low-income and rural Vermonters via a rebate scheme,” Roper said. “Fifty percent of the revenue would go toward low income rebates and rural rebates.”

Roper explained that electric subsidies under the ESSEX plan would offer $8 million in savings for a company such as Global Foundries and lower the utility bills of ski resorts, which are electricity intensive operations.

“Sure the Ethan Allen Institute supports making it cheaper to do business in Vermont, and we want these businesses to succeed, but it’s not desirable to make it so by forcing taxpayers to cut these companies a check. This is what the ESSEX Plan effectively does.”

Roper is especially irked by carbon-tax “doublespeak” used as means to curtail opposition.

“Here’s a good example: Bennington College student and carbon tax activist Sabrina Melendez sent around a letter to the editor.” he said.

“She wrote, ‘We used to call it a carbon tax until we realized that it gave individuals the impression that they would be taxed for their carbon emissions.’ You have to laugh at that.”

Roper also noted that Vermont legislators who support the idea of a carbon tax are not going to stop promoting the idea.

“They like to call it revenue neutral,” Roper said. “Well, last year, Rep. Johanna Donovan

told a WCAX-TV reporter that “if indeed some of the draconian (federal budget) cuts we hear may be coming our way, these (carbon taxes) are things we could use to raise revenue.”

Middlebury resident Thomas Sinacore: “This plan is going to add more than $1,000 to my heating oil bill. And that doesn’t even include my propane gas or gasoline costs. I am not a philanthropist; I don’t want to subsidize companies (such as Green Mountain Power or Global Foundries). I don’t want to pay another penny in tax. Period. I am getting fed up with this.”

During a question-and-answer session at the conclusion of Roper’s formal presentation, attendees had an opportunity to sound off, pro and con, about carbon taxes.

“Do these progressives (supporting carbon taxes) understand economics at all?,” asked Douglas Tolles, a resident of New Haven.

“They’re uninformed… We can’t afford to stay here now, and then you jack up heating costs, then where do we go?”

Middlebury resident Thomas Sinacore, a retired NYPD officer, took the opportunity to express his frustration about carbon tax proposals.

“This plan is going to add more than $1,000 to my heating oil bill,” he said. “And that doesn’t even include my propane gas or gasoline costs.

Hey, I am not a philanthropist. It’s not my job to subsidize companies. I don’t want to subsidize companies. I don’t want to pay another penny in tax. I am getting fed up with this.” ■ Editor’s note: This story first appeared on True North Reports.

Got milk?

We’re a week late but we’d like to wish everyone a belated Happy National Milk Day! On Jan. 11, the State of Vermont commemorated this special day when milk started being delivered in sterilized glass bottles back in 1878.

It’s no secret that Vermont is a dairy state.

“Dairy farming and production is a large part of the state’s cultural and economic identity, bringing $2.2 billion in economic activity each year,” according to Trevor Audet of the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, Food & Markets.

Audet helped celebrate the day last week along

with Agriculture Secretary Anson Tebbetts.

Milk is responsible for more sales than any other Vermont agricultural product.

“In 2017,” Audet said, “the legislature recognized that dairy farming is vital to maintaining a strong economy and protecting and preserving Vermont’s rural landscape. To determine the health of the state’s dairy industry, ensure that there’s an adequate supply of milk for all consumers and ensure equitable pricing for farmers, the Vermont Milk Commission was formed.”

We should also remember that milk means good

health when it comes to the lives of young Vermonters.

“Milk contains nine essential nutrients, three of which are generally under-consumed by American children: calcium, potassium and vitamin D,” Audet noted. “Milk is also used to create a wide variety of other high-quality Vermont dairy products, like cheese, yogurt, sour cream, butter, and ice cream.”

So, while we’re a week late, the Eagle would like to say thanks all our local dairy farmers who work hard each and every day to produce one of nature’s healthiest and nutritious products.

Town planning subverted

Editor Lou Varricchio

I received a draft of our revised town plan back in October and decided to attend our commission’s next meeting, which was held on Oct. 25.

I had two main questions: one concerned an action plan item that suggested obtaining a grant to fund an economic study that I took issue with, and the other was the fact that the proposal took no position on the insurgency of solar arrays in Vermont.

I think most people would agree they are not aesthetically pleasing, and to this point towns have had little or no say about where they can be located.

The speed at which they are being erected is also of concern, as is the fact that taxpayers are being asked to subsidize them with a carbon tax.

I’m not against solar, but I find the urgency and pressure tactics of the solar industry — combined with the need for subsidies — quite disturbing.

It was explained to me that the Energy Committee was preparing that part of the plan and it was currently pending submission to the Planning Commission. On Nov. 7, I attended the Energy Committee meeting to address my concerns about solar arrays. I must

admit that, having seen the maps of preferred solar sites without the benefit of the informational meeting, I am even more concerned and starting to wonder where the agenda to push for all this solar is coming from.

Consider the subsidies we are being asked to provide to prop up renewable and sustainable projects, of which there are many. It must be they can’t survive on their own because every time we say no they bring us another request for the same tax. Would it not be better to let these projects develop in the private sector rather than diminishing property rights and lowering the standard of living of working families?

On Nov. 13, I attended another Planning Commission meeting. The Rutland Regional Planning Commission (RRPC) representative reviewed areas of the plan and discussed how they will be addressed in its final draft.

It is my understanding this plan can be written totally by our Planning Commission, but we are opting to let the RRPC write it so it will be compliant with state guidelines and the February approval deadline can be met.

Now I wonder: is this solar agenda coming from the same place as the state guidelines?

I remember being told by the com-

mission at our first meeting that a survey showed solar is what everyone wanted. Does anyone think one survey or meeting is really enough to set public policy or enact law? Another phrase repeated more than once was “state mandates,” and we were reminded the state could reject our town plan if it did not comply with their standards or criteria. So I guess our plan is written

by RRPC to state standards and can also be rejected by them or the state.

We have about 11 regional planning commissions in our state that assist town planning commissions in each of the towns assigned to them.

You might say that is a good thing were it not for the fact that we keep hearing the words “state mandate.”

Oh sure, you get to choose, but you are assisted by regional planners so things will comply with state guidelines that can later be crafted into more mandates. Beware when you see a crisis like climate change being used to create a sense of urgency...

I think there is a natural tendency for government to drift away from individualism toward collectivism.

That may be because we don’t rely on ourselves for survival as we once did... Are we at a point where we are told what we must believe and what

we are no longer allowed to do?

Maybe I’m a dinosaur, but I still believe government by the people is important.

However, I fear we are drifting too far from it. Individualism may never be as pure as it once was, but when we forget the success of our liberty was based on the rights of the individual, we forfeit our property and freedom to choose; our form of government becomes more collective, and agendas of a few will operate in parallel with it until the individual does not exist.

Successful people are usually questioners — they will find a way to make things work by their own analysis.

But if they are not free to choose, their success may never be realized.

When a successful business is sold and the new owner does not understand what made it successful, it will probably fail. Like the new owner of a business we must understand how central planning works or it might also put us out of business.

Just being involved isn’t enough.

Even when things sound good, you must question what is being proposed. Your individual liberty and freedom to choose depend on it. ■ Note: This commentary appeared on True North Reports. Lynn J. Edmunds is a resident of Wallingford, Vt.

Porter to plug into UVM health-record network

The affiliation of Addison County’s Porter Medical Center with the University of Vermont Health Network was celebrated in Middlebury last May. Now Porter Medical Center will join three other UVM network hospitals with a new electronic health record system or EHR/Epic.

MIDDLEBURY | Porter Medical Center is one of several UVM network hospitals which will receive a new, state-of-the-art electronic health record system or EHR/Epic.

By Lou Varricchio THE EAGLE

Last week, the Green Mountain Care Board approved the UVM EHR system for Porter and three other health-care affiliates which are part of the growing University of Vermont Health Network.

“I appreciate the Board’s thoughtful review and approval of this necessary and important project,” said John Brumsted, M.D., president and CEO of the UVM Health Network and CEO of the UVM Medical Center. “We understand the Board’s desire to measure and monitor key aspects of the system’s implementation and operation, and we look forward to keeping them updated on those and other factors.”

According to a Jan. 8 news statement by UVM regarding the Board’s approval, “The new system will replace a patchwork of programs that do not communicate across hospital boundaries, often a barrier to providing the highest quality and coordinated care when patients receive treatment in multiple care settings.

“The project will use products from Epic Systems Corporation and cost $151.7 million over a six-year implementation period. UVM Health Network officials estimate replacing and maintaining the outdated systems cur-

rently in use would be significantly more expensive than installing the Epic system.”

UVM Medical Center Hospitals spokesperson Michael Carrese noted that the University of Vermont Medical Center, Central Vermont Medical Center, Porter Medical Center and Champlain Valley Physicians Hospital are included in the EHR program just announced.

UVM’s other regional affiliates, Alice Hyde Medical Center, Elizabethtown Community Hospital in New York, and the Visiting Nurse Association of Chittenden and Grand Isle Counties, will become a part of the EHR/ Epic system sometime in the near future.

“In addition to finding that the need for a shared EHR is clear, the Green Mountain Care Board concluded the cost of the project is reasonable, and will improve the quality of health care in Vermont,” according to the UVM statement. The Board set forth a series of conditions to ensure timely and financially-prudent implementation, and is requiring measurement of the impact on quality of care and the administrative burden on providers. The Board also directed the system be designed to support provider and patient decision making.” ■

Woman arrested in parking lot NEW HAVEN | On Jan. 9, Vermont State

Police troopers from the New Haven Barracks were flagged down by a concerned citizen, in the Jiffy Mart parking lot in New Haven, who reported that there was a woman slumped over in the driver seat of a white 2006 Chevrolet Impala in the parking lot.

Troopers made contact with the operator, identified as Annette Adams, 59, of New Haven. They observed that she was passed out behind in the driver’s seat.

Troopers were able to wake up Adams and determined that there was no need for medical attention.

While speaking with Adams, troopers detected signs of impairment and the strong odor of marijuana coming from inside the vehicle.

Adams was screened for DUI and subsequently arrested for DUI-Drug.

She was transported to the VSP New Haven Barracks for processing and was later released on citation to appear at the

At approximately the same time an unrelated vehicle was traveling east on Route 74 and witnessed a red pickup truck entirely in the opposite lane of travel.

Gero, who nearly struck the other pickup driver head on, continued west in the eastbound lane. Gero departed the traveled portion of roadway before coming to a position police described as “controlled rest” in a field.

Anyone who may have witnessed the motor vehicle crash is asked to contact the Vermont State Police New Haven Barracks.

Trooper Christopher Hein said that the case is open pending further investigation.

Criminal charges are also pending. ■

To the editor: U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vermont) is in the pocket of the nation’s beet and cane sugar cartels. Leahy continually votes to maintain the U.S. Sugar program. Why? It is really quite simple: Sen. Leahy received well over $34,000 in political donations from the sugar cartels since coming to Washington in 1975.

Thanks to Sen. Leahy and others, the U.S. Sugar Program continues.

The Sugar Program is a Soviet-style command and control

Middlebury’s Matt Folger had 21 points, eight rebounds and three blocks during a contest against Swarthmore last week.

Middlebury College photo by Will Costello

MIDDLEBURY | A 17-2 run by visiting Swarthmore over a span of 6:29 in the first half propelled the 12th-ranked Garnet past no. 4 Middlebury by a 91-75 score last Tuesday in Pepin Gym. The fourth-ranked Panthers (7-2) returned to action last Friday night when they begAn NESCAC play at Connecticut College while Swarthmore (10-1) hosted Gettysburg.

The Garnet quickly jumped out to a 9-4 lead on a layup by Zac O’Dell with 17:20 left in the opening half. The Panthers answered with a 6-0 run for a 10-9 edge with 15:36 on the clock. A bucket from Swarthmore’s Abass Sallah sparked a 7-2 run, giving the visitors a 16-12 edge on a three-point field goal from Conor Harkins at the 12:28 mark.

After a jumper from Adisa Majors on the ensuing possession cut the Middlebury deficit to just two, the Garnet rattled off the decisive run, capped by a layup from Cam Wiley for a 33-16 lead with 5:37 left. Harkins had six points on a pair of threes during the spurt for Swarthmore, as the Panthers missed nine consecutive shots. Middlebury pulled to within 13 (41-28) on a three from Matt Folger with 2:35 on the clock, but the Garnet scored six of the last 10 points

before the half for a 47-32 lead at the break.

Out of the intermission, the hosts sliced the Swarthmore lead to 11 (47-36) on consecutive layups from Jack Daly and Eric McCord. The visitors responded with the next seven points, grabbing their largest lead of the game at 18 (54-36) on a three from Wiley at the 18:25 mark. Middlebury chipped away at the Garnet lead over the next few minutes, moving to within seven (67-60) of a pair of free throws by Joey Leighton with 10:33 left. The Panthers couldn’t come any closer over the remainder of the contest, as Swarthmore earned the double-digit road victory.

Folger paced Middlebury with 21 points in addition to eight rebounds and three blocked shots. McCord finished with 12 points and a team-high nine rebounds, while Daly dished out a game-best 11 assists to go along with 12 points. Leighton, Dahleh and Nick Tarantino each chipped in with eight points.

Wiley led the Garnet with a game-high 22 points, including 16 in the second half, while O’Dell added a double-double of 19 points and a game-high 14 rebounds. Nate Shafer tacked on 12 points, eight rebounds and five blocked shots off the bench, while Ryan Ingram had 10 points for the visitors.

With the loss, Middlebury sees an 18-game regular-season home winning streak snapped. ■

college programs in the country to receive recognition from the United Soccer Coaches, earning silver honors on the 2017 College Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award.

The United Soccer Coaches Team Ethics and Sportsmanship Award recognizes teams for exhibiting fair play, sporting behavior, and adherence to the laws of the game. To be eligible for the silver award, teams must not have received a red card over the course of the season while totaling yellow cards between 11 and 30 percent of its games. Castleton committed just five yellow cards in 21 contests this season.

Ten teams earned the Platinum Award for not receiving a yellow or red card in any game this season. The Gold Award was issued to 16 teams that did not receive a red card and had

yellow cards in 1-10 percent of its overall games.

28 teams earned the Bronze Award with yellow cards in 31-50 percent of its total games.

This is is the fourth consecutive year the Spartans have earned the Silver Award under the helm of head coach Chris Chapdelaine. “I am very proud of our team for receiving this honor again,” said the 13th-year head coach. “It is an important award to recognize as it is a testament to our coaches and players who all understand the importance of ethics on and off the pitch.”

Castleton is coming off a banner season after claiming the North Atlantic Conference title and earning an NCAA Tournament berth for the first time since 2012. The Spartans finished the regular season 11-8-2 overall, including an 8-1-0 mark in conference play. ■

» Legal pot Cont. from pg. 1 In 2017, Gov. Scott formed the Governor’s Advisory Committee on Marijuana.

But now top law enforcement officials are feeling slighted by legislators and the governor regarding their work and advice.

The Eagle: What has been the reaction of police officials across Vermont over what appears to be that legal pot, for recreational use, will be approved soon?

Merkel: None of us (in the law enforcement community) are happy with the state entertaining the legalization of marijuana. There are a number of concerns we have about legalization. Certainly the one that jumps out most is the highway safety consideration, especially in light of an uptick, unfortunately, in highway fatalities. A good proportion of these incidents involved drugs (including marijuana).

To assume that people are going to use marijuana responsibility is like assuming people are going to use alcohol responsibly. We’ve seen what happens and we’re seeing it all now, even before legalization. We see people driving (under the influence) with children in the car, and we see people using marijuana elsewhere which is now pretty prevalent.

The Eagle: Regarding your comment about highway safety, the highly publicized 2017 news report about multiple fatalities in Bridport, Vt., of carnival workers on their way to the Addison County Fair & Field Days, has been linked to a high level of the psychotropic drug tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), the active ingredient in marijuana.

Merkel: Yes, when the Vermont State Police completed its toxicology report, there was a presence of marijuana. When the same thing keeps cropping up, with the presence of any amount of drugs, it is not good (for society).

In a tragic situation like that (in Bridport), and when you see a large number of fatalities involved with drugs including marijuana, it’s bad—a real problem and concern. If you smoke marijuana, and then operate a motor vehicle, you’re a danger (to other motorists); there’s no two ways about it.

Vermont legislators have not listened to us.

It’s not just what law enforcement has presented in the argument. Experts on mental health, education, and other citizens have testified with their concerns about the legalization of marijuana. They’ve heard all the terrible stories, independent reports, developmental risks, and other warnings. They’ve all been paraded in front of the legislature.

But it’s a matter of what they want to hear. I don’t know why we even testified. They didn’t even listen to us. When we see something as dangerous as this, which presents a risk (just like alcohol), we have an obligation to tell the people what they need to hear, not what they want to hear. It’s obvious they did not want to hear what we had to say. Once you open Pandora’s box, you can’t shut it.

The Eagle: Why this rush to legalize recreational pot in Vermont? This means legalizing one ounce for personal use along with two mature plants for personal use.

Merkel: Well, two mature plants will yield (approximately) 8 ounces each per plant, plus

Published by New Market Press, Inc.

Vergennes Police Chief George Merkel: “The thing that bothers us the most is that we have been discounted during this whole debate about legalizing marijuana.”

the one ounce for personal use. How does this all make sense? What do you do with all this marijuana? The pro-marijuana people started, first, with a very narrow scope–the medical use of marijuana. Law enforcement doesn’t have a problem with limited use for people with long-term pain, etcetera, but then by allowing medical marijuana, which sounds benign, you’ve created a level of acceptance. First comes medical marijuana, then decriminalization, and now legalization for recreational use… .

We saw the steps that were coming. This is the game plan of the pro-marijuana people.

The next step will be to tax and regulate.

The Eagle: What are law enforcement concerns about marijuana and young people?

Do you consider it a “gateway drug” or is that now a passé term?

Merkel: I don’t know of a single heroin user who started out with heroin and I’ve talked with a lot of addicts (…) Here in Addison County a large number of kids start out with cigarettes, marijuana, alcohol, then progress to pills, coke, or crack, and then go on to heroin. Of the 20 or so kids I knew who are no longer here, and who have gone down this path, they started out with marijuana and moved on (to other, harder drugs).

The Eagle: In a sense, you’re implying that when it comes to marijuana, the cautionary voice of law enforcement has been essentially betrayed by Vermont’s elected officials?

Merkel: The thing that bothers us the most is that we have been discounted during this whole debate about legalizing marijuana.

Gov. Scott’s Commission was established to provide guidance and answers, but now it seems to have been a waste of time; all this time and effort spent, a waste. What’s the sense of having the Commission since its report was supposed to be released, I believe,

by Jan. 15? Now the House and Senate have already ok’ed the legalization bill (before reviewing the report). It’s really all about money to be made. That’s what’s really driving the marijuana-legalization train.

The Eagle: Thank you, Chief Merkel. ■ Editor’s note: This interview originally appeared on True North Reports.

The Vermont Eagle | January 20, 2018 • 9

Addison County Chamber of Commerce:

Vermont legislative January update MIDDLEBURY | The Vermont State House approved a modified version of Paid Family Leave (H.196), allowing six weeks of paid leave at 80 percent compensation for bonding with a new child or taking care of a sick relative.

The Senate will consider this bill in 2018.

We expect the legislature to push to increase the minimum wage this coming session. They will likely propose raising it to $15/hr by 2022 or 2023. Vermont is currently implementing the final year of a minimum wage increase passed in 2014 which will raise the minimum wage to $10.50/hr on Jan. 1, 2018. Various proposals will likely be considered. The tipped minimum wage is half of the minimum wage in most proposals.

The legislature will likely propose a variety of funding options for clean water projects necessary to clean up Vermont’s waterways.

Opportunities to Engage: Green Mountain Secure Retirement Plan - Public Hearings: Last year, the Vermont General Assembly passed legislation creating the Green Mountain Secure Retirement Plan.

Key information regarding this plan includes: Implemented

in January 2019, Multiple Employer Plan (MEP), eligible to employers with 50 employees or less, voluntary for employers.

Once an employer opts-in, employees are auto-enrolled with the option to opt-out.

Available to employers that do not currently offer a retirement plan to their employees.

Funded by employee contributions with an intention for future voluntary employer contributions.

Available to self-employed individuals.

Please consider attending one of the upcoming public hearings: • Monday, Jan. 22 - In Montpelier at 109 State St., fourth floor, 2-4 p.m.

• Monday, Jan. 29 - At Franklin Conference Center at the Howe Center in Rutland, 1-3 p.m.

Health Care Fund Contribution Assessment Moves to Dept. of Taxes: Beginning with the fourth quarter payment for 2017, the Vermont Department of Taxes will collect the Health Care Fund Contribution Assessment from required employers.

The first payment to the Department of Taxes is due on Jan. 25.

The Health Care Fund Contribution was established in 2006 for employers who do not offer insurance to all of their employees. For 10 years, the contribution was paid to the Vermont Department of Labor. Under Act 73 of 2017, the collection of this assessment was transferred to the Department of Taxes. The due dates are on the 25th of the month following the end of the quarter, instead of the last day of the month. This date change was implemented to sync up the filing date to the withholding due date to prevent businesses from needing to file an additional form. No changes were made for eligibility of who is required to pay this assessment.

Addison County Legislative Breakfasts: We also now have the Addison County Legislative Breakfast schedule for 2018.

The first meeting will be on Jan. 29, at 7 a.m., at the Grange Hall in Bridport.

See the Chamber’s website for the full schedule.
