Inspection stickers stolen from two Rutland dealerships
By Cassandra Loucy
cassandra@addison-eagle.com
RUTLAND — Over the weekend of Jan. 14, sometime between Saturday evening and the early hours of Monday morning, unknown suspects broke into two Rutland car dealerships and made off with several books of unissued inspection stickers, according to police reports. Troopers from the Rutland Barracks responded to Brileya’s Jeep-Chrysler and Shearer Honda — located just four miles from one another on Route 7— to investigate. At Brileya’s, the unused stickers were locked in a drawer, so after using a crowbar to break into the back door, the thieves pried the padlock off to get to the approximately 80 stickers that had not yet been used. “I’m finding it quite disturbing that they would go to this length to get an inspection book,” said Brileya in an interview with WCAX. “I’m hoping this is not a trend.” Stolen and fake inspection stickers are not a new occurrence. This past weekend, police officers stopped a driver in Cambridge and discovered that her car was Continued on page 10

First refugees arrive in Rutland By Emma Lamberton elamberton@watchdog.org
Vermont Watchdog RUTLAND — The first Syrian refugee families have arrived in Rutland, one arriving Wednesday, and the second on Thursday. The leader of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program told Vermont Public Radio that the families would be staying with host families in Rutland. The identities of the host families are being kept confidential. VRRP Director Amila Merdzanovic said her organization would start looking for housing and jobs while getting children enrolled in school. “The privacy and security of these families are our first priorities. And we want to give them time to settle, to see where they are, to wrap their heads around that they’re here, and they’re safe and that life will resume,” Merdzanovic told VPR. Along with VRRP, Rutland Welcomes, a local grassroots organization supporting resettlement, has expressed concern that incoming refugees could encounter hostile interactions with Rutland residents due to controversies about the program. Don Chioffi, a leader of Rutland First, a group opposed to refugee settlement, said his group is out to protest corrupt government officials, not the refugees themselves. “We’re not protesting individuals. We’re protesting the secrecy of the program and the misinformation dispelled by the Continued on page 11

VT Fish and Wildlife Dept. begins moose study By Cassandra Loucy cassandra@addison-eagle.com
MIDDLEBURY — The Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department has begun a three-year study to gather information on the moose population in the state. According to the department, the species is becoming increasingly more threatened by a parasite known as the winter tick, or moose tick. This study will serve several purposes. Members of the Fish and Wildlife department will be able to determine causes of death for moose, travel patterns, reproduction rates, and more. As seasons in recent years have warmed up, the winter ticks have been more able to survive and reproduce in the winter. “Winter ticks have only started to affect moose Continued on page 13

I’m so sweet and I’m easy to have around. I love being with people and getting lots of love and attention. I already know Sit and Down and I look forward to learning more commands and maybe even some tricks if you’d like to teach me some. I’m lovely and as adorable as can be. I walk nicely on a leash and look forward to hikes and other outdoor adventures with my new family.
your guy! You see, I’ve been adopted and returned a few times because I have no manners and I need a lot of guidance and exercise. The staff has been working with me and we’ve been going for long walks and hikes and the exercise has been great for me and I’m making terrific progress. They’ve also been working with me on my manners (such as Sit, Shake and taking treats gently) and I’m learning to be a better canine member of my family. I think an experienced dog owner who will continue to work with me will be important.
BOB CAT 8 Year Old. Neutered Male. Domestic Short Hair Black. Hi, I’m Bob Cat. I arrived at RCHS in December as a stray. I am a shy, loving guy. As you probably guessed from my name, I don’t have a tail, just a little bob. Initially, I had a hard time adjusting to the hustle and bustle of shelter life so I can’t wait to find a quieter forever home where I will receive lots of love. I was adopted for a short while recently but it didn’t work out because the neighbor’s cat would come over and it made me so nervous I bit my owner! That said, I really am a very sweet guy.

She came to us as a sweet stray, but we soon learned that life in a condo was too restrictive for this independent soul. Daffodil needs a home environment without other pets and without young children, so she can rule her roost without territorial stressors.

ACAP supports farmers in Lake Champlain watershed MIDDLEBURY — The University of Vermont Extension in Middlebury and St. Albans will provide ongoing support in 2017 for Vermont farmers as ACAP — the Agronomy and Conservation Assistance Program — continues. Through this program, UVM Extension field agronomists work one-on-one with local farmers to help them implement new conservation practices on their farms including nutrient management plans, cover crops, no-till and field buffers. They also assist them with improved manure handling and livestock exclusion fencing to reduce soil and phosphorus runoff into Lake Champlain and its tributaries. Since ACAP’s inception in 2011, more than 370 individual farms have received assistance through the program. This past year UVM Extension ACAP agronomists Jeff Sanders, Kristin Williams and Kirsten Workman helped farmers employ conservation practices to protect water quality on more than 24,000 acres of cropland, primarily corn and hay fields. The ACAP agronomy staff works with UVM Extension
agronomists Jeff Carter and Heather Darby to identify high priority projects for farms to meet water quality goals to reduce phosphorus loading in Lake Champlain. They also coordinate and share activities with a similar ACAP program at the Poultney Mettowee Natural Resources Conservation District at the southern reaches of Lake Champlain. Farmers in the Lake Champlain Watershed, which includes the Missisquoi, Lamoille, Winooski and Otter Creek Watershed areas, can contact UVM Extension to request one-onone technical assistance with adopting new farm practices. Priority farms for ACAP are those farms now subject to the new Required Agricultural Practices as outlined in the Vermont Clean Water Act passed during the 2015 legislative session. The requirements cover small farm certification, nutrient storage, soil health, buffer zones, livestock exclusion, nutrient management and tile drainage. ACAP agronomists help farmers understand and meet these requirements along with the Lake Champlain Revised
Total Maximum Daily Loads for phosphorus as defined by the 2011 Federal Clean Water Act. In addition, they help farmers gain access to state and federal cost-share assistance for installing new practices, and then provide verification of proper installation for payment eligibility. Support for the ACAP program is provided through a continuing grant from the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation with funding provided by the Lake Champlain Basin Program and the Great Lakes Fishery Commission. UVM Extension also provides additional support for faculty and staff, along with office space and facilities, to enhance the ACAP outreach program. Farmer participation is encouraged. For more information, contact Jeff Carter at (802) 388-4969, ext. 332, or by e-mail at jeff.carter@uvm.edu. For direct assistance in the St. Albans area, contact Jeff Sanders at (802) 524-6501 ext. 453, or in the Middlebury area, Kirsten Workman at (802) 388-4969, ext. 347.
Country Home Products named to 2017 Best Places to Work in Vermont VERGENNES — Country Home Products, the home of DR Power Equipment, was recently named as one of the 2017 Best Places to Work in Vermont. The 11th annual list of the Best Places to Work in Vermont was created by Vermont Business Magazine, the Vermont Chamber of Commerce, the Vermont Department of Economic Development, the Vermont Department of Labor, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) – Vermont State Council, and Best Companies Group. Country Home Products (CHP) is a national and international retailer of its DR Power and Neuton brand lawn and garden equipment. CHP is headquartered in Vergennes with an assembly facility in Winooski, VT. The outdoor power equipment the company sells are specifically designed to assist with the challenging chores that come with property ownership and are designed and tested to meet the highest standards. CHP is very proud of their dedicated employees who make their company successful. All share a commitment to quality — in everything they do — and take great pride
in the products they sell. They strive to treat their customers, vendors and one another with fairness, respect and appreciation with the service they provide. Everyone in the company has the opportunity to make a direct and meaningful impact on the company’s success and their own personal success as well. Country Home Products has created a soughtafter work environment — one that continually attracts the very best people. That’s why they have won a Best Places to Work Award 8 times. This statewide survey and awards program is designed to identify, recognize and honor the best places of employment in Vermont, benefiting the state’s economy, its workforce and businesses. The 2017 Best Places to Work in Vermont list is made up of 45 companies. To be considered for participation, companies had to fulfill the following eligibility requirements: • Be a for-profit, not-for-profit business or government entity; • Be a publicly or privately held business; • Have a facility in the state of Vermont; • Have at least 15 employees working in the
state of Vermont; and • Be in business a minimum of 1 year. Companies from across the state entered the two-part survey process to determine the Best Places to Work in Vermont. The first part consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, philosophy, systems and demographics. This part of the process was worth approximately 25 percent of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience. This part of the process was worth approximately 75 percent of the total evaluation. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final rankings. Best Companies Group managed the overall registration and survey process in Vermont and also analyzed the data and used their expertise to determine the final rankings. The final rankings for each category will be announced at a special awards presentation in early spring 2017.

Introductions
would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself as the new assistant editor of The Eagle. My name is Cassandra Loucy, and I am a born-and-raised Vermonter, and a UVM alum. I currently live in my hometown of Monkton with my husband and 10-month-old daughter. I am hopelessly devoted to the beauty of the Green Mountain State and the tranquility that comes with country living. As was the case with a large majority of my generation, I grew up infatuated with a world created by author J.K. Rowling. The fantastical world of Harry Potter was an escape for minds young and old, and a boost to all imaginations. As an adult with a baby of my own, although I no longer hope quite as desperately that my letter from Hogwarts is on its way, I find the books to still be relatable on many levels. In the fourth installment of the series, J.K. Rowling gives the following advice through the voice of well-known character Albus Dumbledore: “We are only as strong as we are united, as weak as we are divided.” — The Goblet of Fire While he may have been referring to differing opinions and races in the fictional wizarding world, this piece of advice rings very true in our current environment. We as a country just witnessed what could arguably be one of the most controversial presidential races in modern history. The election spurned both hate and violence for some, as well as optimism and hope for others. However, as Rowling’s character advises, the more we can stay united, regardless of our differences, the stronger we will be as a community. Some are feeling fear and unease about the appointment of the new president, while others are feeling energized about the promise of change. But that doesn’t make either side less human. We are all citizens of the same country, and we should all be rooting for the country to succeed. Though it might come off as naïve to believe that acts of kindness can save the world, I do believe that respecting opinions different than your own — even if you strongly disagree — can go a long way to uniting us. As I get my sea legs at the helm of the Eagle, I welcome feedback and suggestions on what you would like to read in the paper. I would love to hear what you’re talking about in the community, and if there is an event you would like me to attend, please don’t hesitate to ask.

School choice: Every student deserves the opportunity I had
W
hen I was in second grade, my parents moved our family from Virginia to Connecticut because Dad took a job in New York City. They chose the town of Riverside to live in based largely on the quality of the public school system. We were lucky to be able to afford to live there. It had some of the best schools the country at the time, and probably still does. But the local public school didn’t work for me. Just didn’t click. I was the stereotypical bright kid who didn’t apply himself and was able to hide in classrooms filled with twenty-five to thirty students. As a small, shy child with a mild Southern accent who reflexively said “yes sir” and “yes ma’am” to the delight of adults and the seething irritation of my new classmates, I didn’t really fit in with my peers. We stuck with the public school for three years, but…. It wasn’t the teachers. They were fine and I liked them. My younger sister was thriving three grades below me and would throughout her career, as were most of the kids in the school as far as I know. Riverside Elementary just wasn’t the right fit for me academically or socially. So, when middle school came around my parents chose to send me to a private school across town with smaller class sizes, more structure, and a more disciplined culture. I had to wear a jacket and tie every day. My “yes sirs” and “yes ma’ams” were an asset. This school turned out to be a much better fit for me, especially with the wisdom of hindsight.

Defense v. offense
es, football is on my mind as I write today on Championship Sunday as four NFL teams battle for the chance to represent their conference in the Superbowl. My childhood team lost last weekend, but I love the game and will still be glued to the set and rooting. But today I’m also thinking about the activities of the last few days as our nation dealt with the Inauguration of President Trump. So many images and comments from the past weekend leave many Americans with mixed Dan Alexander emotions on how to interpret what we saw, heard Thoughts from and witnessed. Behind the Pressline Let’s start with the national media. Over the last eight years it’s been widely accepted that the media tends to lean to the left, thus playing the role of defending the previous administration. Mr. Obama made it clear that organizations like FOX News leaned overtly right and thus went out of its way, offensively, to attack his administration and its policies. As we move forward it would seem evident that those roles will now be reversed. If that is what we witness over time, and the jury is still out, we would have further truth of clear media bias thus jading what we can believe coming out of either side. The reason for saying the jury is out is the same reason I urge individuals to give the new president time to show his true intent before assuming, as many have, that he is the next Hitler. Clearly everyone has the right to their own opinion and their right to protest, but as I look at the country’s landscape on social media I see so many friends, neighbors and even family on both sides, still fighting about an election that is now long over. President Trump was sworn into office and I can’t even begin to imagine what four years of this continued fighting will do to our country and our children. Ben Carson said it best when he commented that wishing President Trump’s Administration fails badly is like wishing the pilot of the plane in which you are flying crashes. This version of America is not the one my family handed down to me. Throughout life optimism, hope and a can do attitude was always front and center, both at home and at school. Hard work, a strong value system, fair play and self dependence was a winning formula in the America I was raised to believe. Protest and defiance will only bring more protest and even greater defiance and to what ultimate end? We are not at war with ourselves, or are we? Will those who oppose the current Administration burn down the government as one protest speaker claims she dreams about? Would we really prefer to see this country destroyed rather than live in a country where the person you did not vote for is in office? In my weekly writing I can assure you when the President’s polices for the country are enacted I will try to show why I am opposed or in favor of them as I’ve done during President Obama’s term in office. But in fairness know that I will always be in favor of what I think is best for the country regardless of party politics and will do my best to point out those who obstruct for the simple sake of obstructing.

Team Infinity sweeps Vermont Radon Poster Contest January is Radon Action Month: Test, Fix and Breathe Easy
BURLINGTON — When it comes to making sure Vermonters understand the importance of getting homes tested for radon gas, the students in Daryl Kuhn’s science class are right on it. The 7th and 8th grade “Team Infinity” students at Edmunds Middle School in Burlington submitted their artwork for this year’s Radon Poster Contest and received first, second and third prize, as well as honorable mention. The first-place poster, “Radon on Your Radar?” created by Addie, age 12, earned a spot along with the second and third place finishers in a national competition conducted by the Conference of Radiation
Control Program Directors. All participants receive a certificate signed by Vermont Health Commissioner Harry Chen, MD. January is National Radon Action Month, and the poster contest sponsored by the Vermont Department of Health offers elementary and middle school students a chance to use art to help spread the word about the dangers of radon. “I like to find real world connections for students, and give them an audience outside of school,” said Daryl Kuhn, Team Infinity’s teacher. “The contest was a great way to introduce the concept and dangers of radon gas.” Approximately one in every eight houses in Vermont has elevated levels of radon – a naturally occurring radioactive gas that seeps into homes from soil and bedrock. Radon is the leading cause of lung
cancer in non-smokers, and a smoker’s risk of getting lung cancer from radon is almost six times greater than that of a non-smoker. It is estimated that 50 Vermonters die each year due to radon-related lung cancer. According to Health Commissioner Chen, the only way to know if a house has elevated levels of radon is to have it tested. “You can’t smell it, see it or taste it, so unless you test for it you won’t know if you are breathing radon gas,” said Dr. Chen. “The kids do a great job making it easy to understand why it’s important to test for radon.” The Health Department offers free radon test kits to Vermonters. To request your free kit, send an email with your name, mailing and physical address and phone number to radon@vermont.gov or call 1-800-439-8550. Health officials rec-
ommend homes be tested every five years and after major renovation work, especially if it involved disturbing the foundation or underlying bedrock. The radon posters created by the students are shared with the department’s 12 local heath offices, and through the Agency of Education with school science teachers throughout the state. Their work is also showcased at Vermont home show and related building conferences. The department is working to involve more schools for next year.

There were several others like him: Mr. Brody in English, Mr. Levendowsky in history, Mr. Arden and Mrs. Dunn in science. These people made a learning environment that was the right place – the best choice -- for me, and I am grateful. And lucky. My family was able to exercise this choice only because we could (with a little help from my grandmother) afford it. This is why I am and have always been such a fervent advocate for publicly fund-

ed school choice. Every kid should have the opportunity I had to find a place where he or she is best suited to learn -regardless of income. What if my parents didn’t have the resources to pay for a different school for me? I’d have been stuck in a school system for another six years where I was not happy and not learning – at great expense to the taxpayer. What a waste of resources on both sides of the equation! Vermont has solved this issue brilliantly in our 90-some tuitioning towns where every child, regardless of income, is allowed to choose the best public or approved independent school that fits his or her needs with $14,000 or more following the child. This can open up a world of opportunities, especially for lower income students who
would otherwise have little to no chance of escaping an unproductive learning environment. All Vermont kids should have this opportunity. It’s National School Choice Week. Vermonters should be proud of our 150-yearold history of pioneering the oldest, most comprehensive and dynamic school choice system in the nation. Now we should be looking for ways to expand its opportunities to all Vermont children. There are plenty of them out there who are smarter and more deserving than I for such an opportunity. Let’s make sure they get it. - Rob Roper is president of the Ethan Allen Institute. He lives in Stowe.

Lake Champlain: The high cost of clean water By Lou Varricchio Vermont Watchdog
MONTPELIER — The enormous cost of cleaning up Lake Champlain became apparent this week when Vermont Treasurer Beth Pearce announced a multi-million-dollar annual funding plan that would take 20 years to fully realize. Costs for the cleanup effort would be borne by Vermont property owners as well as U.S. taxpayers through federal funds. Forecasting a total cost that will exceed $1 billion by the year 2037, Pearce’s plan was released Jan. 17 as the 92-page document, titled “Clean Water Report.” The treasurer’s report, a year in the making, was mandated by Act 64, an act relating to improving the quality of state waters. “Clean water is a shared resource, belonging to all Vermonters,” according to Pearce. “We swim, fish, boat, drink and appreciate the beauty of our rivers, streams, lakes, ponds and wetlands. Clean waters are intrinsically linked to Vermont’s economic future.”
Lake phosphorus
Pollution in Lake Champlain is linked to phosphorous from urban, suburban and agricultural runoff. A serious side effect of the buildup of phosphorus is that it acts as a fertilizer for varieties of algae and bacteria. Localized “blooms” of toxic cyanobacteria, commonly known as blue-green algae, have forced the closings of public beaches in the Burlington area during the summer months. These “blooms” also negatively impact lake biology. Current bans, such as winter manure spreading on farms and the use of phosphates in dishwashing detergents have helped somewhat. The treasurer’s report states that, “The federal Clean Water
Act requires the state to increase efforts to curtail both point and nonpoint source pollution to our surface waters.” To meet these federal obligations, according to the report, Vermont must pay $48.4 million a year over the next 20 years, for a total of $970 million. The report suggests that $25 million of the $48.4 million will come from property assessments starting July 1, 2019. The massive cleanup will require a long-term commitment to municipal storm water treatment, including roadway runoff, purchase of water-quality easements, wetland and floodplain restoration, financing of farm manure-management systems and livestock fencing, planning and training of personnel associated with the cleanup, and more. The report presents both financing and funding plans for the lake cleanup: Financing involves bonding (bonds are historically used to finance big state projects that can’t be paid on an “as you go” basis), while funding includes taxes and fees. The cleanup cost will hit property owners of all kinds in the pocket book—from homeowners to commercial concerns— in the form of parcel fees (land) and impervious surface fees (pavement, parking lots). The particular parcel or impervious fee would vary based on land-use category such as residential, commercial, industrial, institutional (colleges or hospitals), as well as agricultural. Not cleaning up the lake has financial risks, as outlined in a University of Vermont report: The report cites that “as much as $16.8 million in lake-related economic activity, and 200 full-time jobs, could be lost during the summer months alone, for every three-foot decrease in water clarity.
Incredible amount of money
“The 20-year total clean water compliance costs, as defined in the cost chapter of the report, are $2.3 billion,” according
to Pearce. Gov. Phil Scott’s initial reaction to Pearce’s report came at a Capitol news conference Jan. 17. “It’s an incredible amount of money,” Scott said. “(But) I praise Secretary Pierce for good work; we’re working with her... We’re very supportive of what she’s doing.” Scott stressed that the pollution problem didn’t arise overnight and it won’t be resolved overnight. He said “everything is on the table” when it comes to financing and funding. “We remain committed,” he said. “Vermonters want to see some action, they want to see what we’re going to do with all this money.”
Priorities
But when it comes to new taxes to pay for the cleanup, Ethan Allen Institute President Rob Roper draws the line. “We don’t need new taxes,” he told Watchdog. “We need to reexamine our priorities in regard to environmental spending. One solution would be to shift the money we currently spend on Efficiency Vermont—$40 million to $50 million— which has reached a point of diminishing returns, and reallocate it for lake cleanup.” Efficiency Vermont is the nonprofit energy rating organization for the state. Both taxpayers and utility ratepayers help fund it. Roper also suggested that the state could deny designated downtown tax credits to municipalities that fail to bring local sewage treatment facilities up to snuff. “If we’re providing these communities with tax breaks to invest in infrastructure, their first priority should be better water quality,” he said. The treasurer’s report moves to the legislature where lawmakers will have to come up with a detailed plan on how to raise the funds outlined in the treasurer’s report.

Going beyond borders at NOFA-VT’s annual winter conference BURLINGTON — The Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont has attracted two international giants in the food and farming world to speak at the 35th annual winter conference on Feb. 1820 at University of Vermont. Dr. Fernando Funes Monzote of Cuba and Dr. Vandana Shiva of India will both bring a message of resilience, hope, and the power of people to make slow — but radical — change. This year’s theme, “Beyond Borders: Our Role in the Global Food Movement” is a departure from years past, which have focused on themes such as local food and soil. But Executive Director Enid Wonnacott and board member Mimi Arnstein — who leads farmer-to-farmer exchanges in Cuba and elsewhere — felt the time was ripe to break open the boundaries of how we think about the impact of our local food movement in Vermont. For Wonnacott, inspiration came at the Terra Madre International Slow Food Conference in Turino, Italy, where the slogan was “They are Giants, But We are Millions.” The faces of the “Millions” of small-scale farmers from around the globe were represented by some 7,000 delegates at Terra Madre as they came together to raise a col-
lective voice against the corporate “Giants” - for food sovereignty, the survival of family farms, and resistance to GMOs. When asked how she saw Vermont agriculture fitting into such a global people’s food movement, Wonnacott said, “NOFAVT has always had a social change agenda, and at Terra Madre I really saw the power of this idea that all small-scale farmers around the world are in this together.” She noted that there are big similarities between how we farm and market food here in the state of Vermont with indigenous and local food systems all over the world. On Sunday, Feb. 19, the keynote speaker is Dr. Vandana Shiva, who is perhaps best known for her tireless crusade on behalf of seed sovereignty and against GMOs, a message she has delivered for over three decades. Bill Moyers called her “the rock star in the worldwide battle against genetically modified seeds.” She started her center for seed sovereignty Navdanya (“nine seeds” in Hindi) to “protect the diversity and integrity of living resources, especially native seed, and to promote organic farming and fair trade.” Dr. Shiva is well known for her presence, conviction, and boldness when it comes to speaking out for what she believes in.
Dr. Fernando Funes Monzote will deliver Saturday’s keynote address. As an agronomist and farmer from Cuba, he is building a food revolution from his bio-intensive 20-acre model farm, Finca Marta. Now, when Cuba is undergoing such change and trade channels have opened up with the US, it will be prescient to have Funes give us his perspective. The NOFA-VT Winter Conference offers more than 100 workshops for farmers, gardeners, and local food enthusiasts. Some of the most anticipated workshops include: “Herbal Digestive Bitters” taught by Guido Masé of Urban Moonshine, “New Developments in Study and Implementation of Northeastern Indigenous Agriculture” presented by Frederick Wiseman of The Seeds of Renewal Project, “Plants to Attract Pollinators and Create Biodiversity” presented by Lizabeth Moniz, and “Everything You Ever Wanted to Know about Fruit Trees” taught by Nicko Rubin. Early registration for the conference is offered at a discounted rate until Feb. 13, with additional discounts for NOFA Vermont members and volunteers. More information and online registration is at http://nofavt.org/conference.

sporting a sticker not assigned to a specific vehicle. Over the past few years, thefts of inspection stickers have been on the rise since new security features — such as holograms and self-void features — have made them harder to counterfeit to sell on the Black Market. Newer stickers will have a barcode on them for use with the new Automated Vehicle Inspection Program, coming in March. Thieves who sell the stickers count on the fact that some people cannot afford necessary repairs to get their car to pass inspection, so they would rather take the risk and pay a smaller amount for a stolen sticker. Speaking to local dealers about the thefts, one — who wished to remain anonymous — said, “I think it’s more of a drug issue than a sticker inspection issue. They aren’t breaking in because their car isn’t passing, they are breaking in because they can sell them. We have had instances before of people breaking into cars to steal one sticker from the windshield, and in that case, it was probably for their own car. But for them to be stealing entire books, they’re just trying to make a buck.” Police are following leads and hope to find the culprits soon. Anyone with information is encouraged to call the State Police at 802-773-9101, or may go online and anonymously submit a tip at http:// vsp.vermont.gov/tipsubmit.

settlement agencies,” he told Watchdog. Last April, Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras announced plans to make Rutland a permanent refugee resettlement community, starting with 100 Syrian refugees. The announcement sparked outrage from parts of the Rutland community, as well as from the Board of Aldermen, who with the exception of Board President William Notte, were kept in the dark for six months about Louras’ intentions. Alderman David Allaire told Watchdog he welcomes the refugee families but is upset over the secrecy officials used to prevent residents from having input on the program. “I welcome these families,” Allaire said. “I want to make sure they are safe in our community.” Allaire said he is particularly concerned about the repeated pattern of
www.addision-eagle.com
secrecy shown by VRRP. The group ignored and stonewalled multiple requests from the Board of Aldermen. Allaire said he found out about the refugees’ arrival through a Facebook link to VPR, the only news outlet Merdzanovic notified. “They should have given us a heads up. As elected officials, we shouldn’t have received notification over Facebook,” Allaire said. In his role on the board, Allaire led efforts to get information from VRRP and investigate the legality of the mayor’s actions. As doubts mounted about the mayor’s authority to authorize the program, City Attorney Charles Romeo issued a report that said a single comma in the city charter gave Louras formerly unknown authority to act alone without approval from the Board of Aldermen. Allaire is running for office to unseat the mayor in the upcoming Town Meeting Day election. Merdzanovic would not say what
parts of Syria the refugee families were from, or where they have been living. Recent requests for information on the resettlement program’s costs, such as translation services in education, have received few answers. Meanwhile Rutland Welcomes and other community volunteers have worked closely with VRRP to meet refugees’ needs. John Weatherhog, pastor of Grace Congregational United Church in Rutland, told Watchdog his congregation voted to offer church support to refugees. “We’re ready to step in when needs become apparent,” he said. “The Bible speaks to a strong core value of welcoming strangers. There’s no [rule] as to who you welcome.” VRRP has started recruiting workers for its new Rutland center. Open positions include case managers, a case aid and a job developer.

Possumhaw says farewell
L
ocal band Possumhaw dropped a bombshell on fans late last year. After recording and performing around the region for the last twelve years, the band’s lead singer Colby Crehan — along with husband and bandmate Ryan Crehan — would be moving to Wyoming, and the acoustic quintet would be no more. Fans took to social media to express their dismay and wish the couple well. “Vermont’s loss, Wyoming’s gain,” said Williston resident Peter Engisch. “All the best to you and family.” Vicky Loven wrote: “You are breaking my heart! Blessings on your move, Colby and Ryan.” The band is now performing at old stomping grounds, with stops in both Vermont and New York as part of their farewell tour. For the uninitiated, Colby took a moment to describe the band’s sound: “It’s mostly original — we play acoustic, bluegrass instruments but it’s not traditional bluegrass by any means,” she said. “It has folk and blues elements to it, with a sprinkling of jazz. We do get comments after our shows that we’re quite varied.” On Jan. 27, Possumhaw will stop at the CVU Theater in Hinesburg — according to Colby. On Feb. 12, the band will stop at the United Church of Westford. The concerts are slated for 7 p.m. and 4 p.m., respectively. Tickets to the Hinesburg show are $20 for adults, $15 for kids. Before the Crehans move to Wyoming, Possumhaw has a parting gift for fans: six new songs that have never been recorded, but will appear on the band’s website before the couple make their move. “We have about six new songs that we haven’t recorded yet, and we’ll be trying to put those out,” said Colby. Left: Lidia Bastianich will appear at the Paramount “We’re going to miss playing for everyone a whole lot,” she said. “We really Theater in Rutland on Jan. 28. appreciate everyone who has come out to see us.” Photo via Facebook. © DIANA DELUCIA PHOTOGRAPHY For more information on the Possumhaw Farewell Tour, visit possumhaw.

MIDDLEBURY — Homeward Bound, Addison County’s Humane Society, is pleased to announce the dates of their 2017 Open Door Microchip Clinics. The clinics will be offered every other month on Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m., on the following dates: Jan. 28, March 18, May 20, Sept. 23, and Nov. 18. A micro-chip is a small electronic chip (about the size of a piece of rice) that is inserted under the skin between a pet’s shoulder blades which contains all of the owner’s contact information. Most veterinary offices and shelters have the ability to scan for this chip and quickly identify the owner. The entire process takes less than two minutes and is almost painless. The clinic is open to both dogs and cats. The cost of microchipping is $35 and this covers the microchip implant and initial registration. The clinics take place at the shelter, which is located at 236
Boardman Street in Middlebury. Shelter staff asks that all dogs be on leash and cats be in carriers for this event. Interested parties can call 802-388-1100 to pre-register. The service will be provided on a first come, first serve basis. Homeward Bound Executive Director, Jessica Danyow, is a strong advocate for micro-chipping. “ Micro-chipping enables people to safeguard their pets should they ever become lost. It substantially increases the odds that the animals will be reunited with their family. We feel that our upcoming clinic is a valuable service to the greater community,” she said.

Moose << Continued from | p. 1
at a population level within the past ten years.” said Tom Rogers of the VT Fish and Wildlife Department. Numbers of ticks are monitored at weigh stations when hunters bring moose in, sometimes carrying tens of thousands of the ticks. The ticks cause collapse due to blood loss, but they can also cause the moose to rub off their protective layer of fur in the winter in irritation, which can lead to death by hypothermia. According to Rogers, “They don’t pose a problem to deer because deer evolved with the species present and are better at grooming the ticks off their bodies.” The ticks generally do not pose much of a threat to humans. This month, researchers began the first stage of their study in the Northeast Kingdom, which included collaring 30 cow moose—which are adult females—and 30 moose calves. The radio collars will allow them to track the moose via GPS, find out if calves are living to adulthood, and find out where the young go when they leave their mothers. The contractors who carried out the collaring, Native Range, Inc., used helicopters to hover just over tree height. The moose were captured using nets and careful handling techniques to minimize stress and trauma to the animals. Each collar was applied in minutes, and without the use of tranquilizers. The researchers conducting the study will be able to gather data remotely from the collars, or track the moose to the fields to study them directly.
www.addision-eagle.com
Vermont has already taken steps to help reduce the issue of the winter ticks by increasing the number of licenses sold to hunt moose in recent years. This has taken the population of the species from over 5,000 in the state in the early 2000s to around 2,200 moose today. The species is healthiest at medium densities, ensuring the animals have adequate access to food—a single moose can consume over 25 pounds of food per day— and are not over crowding the habitats. Over population of moose is also dangerous to humans, as it increases likelihood of motor vehicle accidents caused by the large animals. “Winter ticks spread more rapidly when moose are overabundant,” said Cedric Alexander, Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department’s lead moose biologist. “Although we decreased Vermont’s moose herd to reduce the impacts of moose on the landscape, it may have also contributed to the much lower rates of winter ticks on Vermont’s moose than biologists observe on moose in New Hampshire or Maine.” According to the department website, this study will cost approximately $424,123 over two years. This money will come from Pittman-Robertson federal aid, which comes primarily from taxes and fees on firearms, ammunition, and hunting supplies. The amount of money allocated to each state from this fund is determined by a formula that takes into account the size of the state and the number of licensed hunters. If more funds can be collected, the study will continue for three years. Researchers affix a collar to one of the moose (pictured on cover) in the study. Photo provided
