Will Scott’s frugal budget satisfy liberals?
Where are the parents?
Governor’s fourth budget address at the State House
Pre-K kids left on school buses By Lou Varricchio
From Staff & News Reports THE EAGLE
EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Last week, Gov. Phil Scott (R) delivered his fourth budget address, presenting a balanced budget that limits spending growth to a total of just two percent across all funds and does not raise taxes or service fees paid by Vermonters, such as drivers’ license, vehicle registrations, permit application, park admission or hunting and fishing fees.
MIDDLEBURY | Vermont’s Act 166 is the law under which parents and guardians are provided universal access to publicly funded pre-K education. Universal pre-K advocates tout the state’s approach to this level of education because of its benefits to young children, especially those from low-income families. But not everything is peachy keen with Vermont pre-K, and in at least one instance as reported to Vermont’s True North Reports by an anonymous eyewitness in the city of Rutland recently, there may be one aspect of universal pre-K that doesn’t sit quite right with critics. “(Drivers) are not allowed by law to let the pre-K kids off the busses unless a parent is there to collect them,” the Rutland school-bus eyewitness told TNR. “The parents aren’t showing up, and using the busses as babysitting services with the kids simply driving around town from after school until after 6 p.m. This is awful.” But in an attempt to verify this complaint, TNR reported that it found that the rules still apply even if it looks “awful” to the critics. When it comes to transportation and students, bus operators clearly have the ultimate responsibility when it comes to dealing with young children left on buses while awaiting their parent’s arrival for pickup.
ADDRESSING THE DEMOGRAPHIC CRISIS
Scott once again urged the Vermonnt Legislature to focus investments to reverse Vermont’s demographic crisis and strengthen the state’s fiscal foundation. Scott said addressing demographics trends, and the economic challenges they are creating across the state, is the only way to ensure that the state can continue to invest in essential services and shared priorities. “Our demog raphic cr isis is, without question, the greatest challenge we face as a state,” said Scott. “Confronting this crisis is the only way we’ll be able to address other critical needs – whether it’s human services, public safety, transportation or climate change and transitioning to a clean energy economy.” See SCOTT » pg. 2

HANSON TAKES ON VERMONT GOP
Indian-born candidate says too much “compromise, consensus” from moderates By Michael Bielawski SPECIAL TO THE EAGLE
RUTLAND | In a speech at the Castleton Republican Breakfast “Taking Vermont Forward” last Saturday, 2020 lieutenant gubernatorial candidate Meg Hansen challenged Republicans to stick to strong principals of freedom and economic growth, and not buckle to pressure from moderates to appease the opposition party. “In our Republican politics, we hear a lot about compromise and consensus,” Hansen said. “Do we ever hear about conviction? … They place great virtue in belonging to the center. But let’s be real here, being in the center means staying as inoffensive as possible to the far-left. Being in the center means ultimately giving in to the irrational demands of the far left.” Hansen is best known for her former role as executive director of Vermonters for Health Care Freedom and these days she’s a television host on “Dialogues with Meg Hansen”. Her campaign frequently critiques the cost of living and cost to d o
business in Vermont, and she consistently emphasizes lower taxes, pro-economic growth policies, and personal freedoms. She’s been a vocal advocate for a competitive health insurance market and school choice for education. Her candidacy has been under criticism much from Republican moderates. Recently, Sen. Corey Parent, R-Franklin, told VtDigger, “I don’t think there is a viable Republican candidate at this point,” dismissing not only Hansen, but also businessman Dana Colson of Sharon. Sharon is running for the same seat. Senate Minority Leader Joe Benning, R-Caledonia, said there is no “competent” candidate to run against Senate President Pro Tem Tim Ashe (D/P-Burlington) who also seeks the seat. Hansen emphasized that now is a time for challenging establishment norms. “Do you want real change in Vermont?” she asked attendees in Rutland County. “Real change is time-consuming, it is difficult, it is frustrating, and it is conflict-driven. Not conflict for the sake of conflict, but conflict when arises when you have the courage of your convictions and the will and determination to act on them.” Hanson cited the career of former British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, who she said took the United Kingdom in a new direction back when the country was embracing socialist tendencies and subsequent economic hardships, not unlike how she characterizes the current trends in Vermont. According to Hanson, “Mrs. Thatcher said this about consensus and I quote, ‘The process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values, and policies in search of something in which no one believes, but to which no one objects; the process of avoiding the very issues that have to be solved, merely because you cannot get agreement on the way ahead.’” She said that Vermont’s current economy is not ideal especially for young people. “For those of us under the age of 40, there is no sustainable future in Vermont,” she said. “I’ve had many, many conversations with Vermonters who want to own homes, want to
While in Rutland County last week, 2020 lieutenant governor candidate Meg Hanson said there’s too much pressure from Vermont Republican moderates to appease Democrats and Progressives. Photo by Jay Luebken own private businesses and farms, and cannot. I’ve heard from so many who want to be able to afford to have kids here and raise them here, build careers, save for retirement, and grow old here but cannot.” She concluded that her 2020 platform should appeal to the majority of economic and freedom-minded Vermonters, regardless of party affiliation. “How can we be in the minority when we are fighting to get everyone the ability to create greater prosperity and live freer lives,” Hanson said. ■

By state guidelines, employers of drivers bear the responsibility of their passengers. If parents are tardy in picking up the kiddies, don’t expect a bus driver to abandon them to the elements. True, neglectful or distracted parents should bare the ultimate responsibility, however, there’s no means of enforcement there. “This is the fi rst we have heard of this being an issue,” said Patrick J. McManamon, a highway safety specialist with
ATTENTION OXYGEN USERS!
the DMV’s Enforcement and Safety Division in Montpelier. “I have not had any reports of this being an issue. That being said because policies and procedures are often the responsibility of the school district and their transportation provider I may not necessarily hear of an issue.” McManamon said that Vermont mandates that all school bus drivers attend an 8-hour-long VTrans School Bus Clinic prior to obtaining or renewing a school bus endorsement. “In the clinic we talk about dropping-off and picking-up students. This section is based on best practice, not state law,” he said. “Vermont motor vehicle law does not mandate a specific procedure for a drop-off or pick-up, unlike a railroad crossing.”
Middlebur y ’s Eva Hendrikson scored for the Panthers last Tuesday at Plattsburgh State Middlebury College photo
McManamon also said that “best practices” make sense because every school bus stop location is different and presents its own set of circumstances. “Vermont does not, by statute, require a driver to keep a child on board until a parent arrives, though best practice would be not to allow the child to leave until such time as a responsible person arrives,” he added. “This may also be covered by the school district and/or the transportation provider’s policy and procedures.”

MIDDLEBURY | Second-ranked Middlebury saw its season-opening 12-game unbeaten streak come to an end, as top-ranked Plattsburgh State (18-1-0) picked up a 4-1 victory on Tuesday in Stafford Arena. Middlebury (10-1-2) was the last team in in the country to suffer a loss and the Cardinals salvaged a season split in the season series with the Panthers. The visitors had the initial scoring chance of the contest with three minutes off the clock, as Madie Leidt had her bid from the top of the blue paint denied by Plattsburgh State goalie Ashley Davis. The Cardinals cashed in on their first power-play opportunity with 10:12 on the clock when Ivy Boric sent a pass through the slot from the left circle to Sara Krauseneck just beyond the right post, who netted her 13th marker of the season. The hosts doubled the lead with 29 seconds left before the intermission taking advantage of a failed Middlebury clear, as Nicole Unsworth batted in a loose puck at the top of the crease. In the middle frame, Plattsburgh State came close to making it a three-goal cushion with 16:25 on the clock, as Annie Katonka hit the right post from deep in the slot. Middlebury’s best flurry came towards the end of a power play just past the midway point, as Claudia Vira fired a shot from the point that Davis stopped, while also denying follow-up bids by Sidney Portner and Katie Hargrave. The Panthers had another player advantage later in the stanza, with Maddie Bayard getting the best chance with
a redirect in front that Davis ushered into the corner. The hosts made it 3-0 with another goal late in the period, when Madison Walker lifted a shot into the upper part of the net from between the hash marks with 1:58 before the second intermission. Middlebury took advantage of some carry over power-play time to start final 20 minutes to get on the scoreboard. Eva Hendrikson’s slap shot from the high slot eluded Davis’ blocker and went into the net to make it a 3-1 contest with only 52 seconds expired. Moments later, Panther goalie Lin Han made key stop on an oddman rush with a save on Unsworth, before adding another big save on a bid by Krauseneck with 13 minutes remaining. Middlebury pulled Han for an extra attacker with 2:10 left in the period, but Unsworth scored into an empty net with 1:47 remaining to close out the 4-1 final. Han finished with 28 saves for the Panthers, while Davis recorded 21 stops for the hosts. Plattsburgh State held a 34-22 advantage and each team tallied once on the power p l a y, with Middlebury getting three chances and the Cardinals a pair. ■

However, it was Rutland City Public School’s Assistant Superintendent Rob Bliss who provided a definitive answer regarding the eyewitness’s concerns. “To describe this as a ‘problem’ is a mistake,” Bliss told TNR. “It’s the law; it’s a child- care regulation. You cannot release a pre-K kid into the streets. They have to be delivered to an adult who either we know or who signs them out… Now some people paint this as an inconvenience (or something ‘awful’); but it’s a regulation intended for child safety. “To paint bus drivers as unfortunate ‘babysitters’ is just wrong,” he added. “The truth is that drivers are caring people and they are responsible for the children. If a parent doesn’t come out (to get the kids), the driver will call dispatch to call the child’s house. And then, if the parent doesn’t come out, the driver goes around the block or goes on with the route. If the parent still doesn’t show, the children are brought back to school and then released back to the care of the school. “I will tell you that this doesn’t happen a lot, but when it does occur it’s mostly in the winter when it’s dark; when people don’t want to put on a coat and stand in the cold waiting for the bus. The driver’s and school’s responsibility is part of the family support and safety services law as outlined by the Agency of Human Services,” Bliss said. Regardless of law or circumstance, Vermont’s universal pre-K critics will continue to give Act 166 a bad rap. ■

CELEBRATING 20 YEARS WITH JEFF REHBACH
Middlebury College Community Chorus to fete conductor From Staff & News Reports THE EAGLE
MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury College Community Chorus will celebrate conductor Jeff Rehbach’s 20 years with the chorus with a spring series of favorite pieces from past performances. From among some 300 historical and contemporary choral works that the community chorus has performed since the year 2000, the choir’s singers during the past month recommended numerous titles that they have particularly enjoyed. Rehbach, in turn, has chosen over a dozen works to create a special 90-minute program for this spring’s performances during the month of May. He noted that the selections weave together songs that give voice to the paths that our lives take, and to the light that love and hope bring to our world. The program will primarily feature works written from the mid-20th century through the beginning of the 21st century. The choir will reprise music by Middlebury

With sweeping melodies and harmonies, Randall Stroope portrays the strength of enduring love and faithfulness in “Omnia Sol”.

CREEK ROAD: Will it ever reopen?
From the editor When it comes to “to-do” lists around town, the Middlebury Selectboard can act quickly to get things done. Building the Cross Street Bridge, New Town Offices, and Town Recreation Center come to mind. But somehow, when it comes to reopening the gravel section of Creek Road, between Three Mile Bridge Road and the VTrans shed, it’s like pulling teeth. Creek Road is the dirty bastard that doesn’t quite fit in around the family dinner table. Consider the Vermont Gas/Middlebury College biogas pipeline project stretching from the Goodrich Farm gas plant in Salisbury to the college campus. Some of us look at a town map and wonder why the pipeline wasn’t installed along Creek Road? Creek
Road looks to be easily excavated for a pipeline with its ancient floodplain clays; it’s also a shorter route from Salisbury to campus (as the crow flies), with only a few remote homes and no traffic to disrupt. Instead, Halladay Road was chosen as the pipeline route. There, during the summer and fall months, workers encountered outcrops of dense, Ordovician-age dolomite ledge rock; they hammered away at it for weeks annoying neighbors and delaying the pipeline project by more then a month. Is there something about Creek Road that automatically repels the minds of local planners and bureaucrats? In spite of a few (pricey) engineering studies and well-thought-out options offered since the road was closed in 2015, some board members seem not only reluctant, but
darn stubborn, when it comes to reopening a road. We want to see this road reopen; many area residents enjoy it as a shortcut, from the Shard Villa area of Salisbury, toward Middlebury’s downtown. It makes common sense, trafficwise. We’ve seen the town throw money into many pet projects over the years, but when it comes to restoring this unofficial mini “bypass” of sorts, well, we’re still holding our breath. At the Jan. 14 Selectboard meeting, during a brief update to the board regarding the status of Creek Road, Creek Road Task Force Chair and Selectboard member Heather Seeley reported that the Task Force had completed its evaluation of various alternatives for the road; and it had approved a recommended alternative earlier this month for discussion with the Infrastructure Committee and
Selectboard. So what happened? Although the Infrastructure Committee subsequently endorsed the recommendation at its Jan. 9 meeting, “it was clear from the discussion that elements of the recommendation needed clarification and refinement and that the ‘next steps’ narrative required further development,” according to a Middlebury Selecboard Highlights newsletter dated Jan. 16 Meanwhile, the Selectboard will consider the revised Task Force recommendation at an upcoming meeting dragging this whole thing out into a long, messy strand of saltwater taff y. Waiting for the Middlebur y Selectboard to make a decision on Creek Road’s fate is like watching paint dry on a damp day. It’s sure not the best way to spend your time. — The Editor ■

It’s Sunday afternoon, Jan. 26, and I just learned of the tragic death of Kobe Bryant, his daughter, and seven other individuals yet to be named in a helicopter accident in California. Perhaps like you, I felt like I had just lost a dear friend. I’ve never met Kobe but enjoyed watching him on television play in the NBA. Kobe always impressed me as one of the good guys with great respect for his sport, his family, and as an individual, he frequently gave back generously to others less fortunate. I heard an interview later in the afternoon with announcer Jim Gray when he asked Kobe, right

after he played his last game, how he wanted to be remembered after retiring? Kobe’s response was a simple one. “I want to be remembered as a fortunate but talented over-achiever.” I’m sure by now if you didn’t know much about Kobe Bryant on Sunday when the news broke, by now you’ve heard plenty. But as I sit here tonight pondering a topic, I can’t help but think about how one person could touch so many lives in a short 41 years. Born a kid like all the rest of us with a blank slate on life, he had a deep desire and physical traits to play the game, but even the most talented fall short along the way to success. Money and talent at a young age have derailed and destroyed many lives over the years. While brash and competitive, Kobe focused on his profession and family life while avoiding the pitfalls that ensnare so many with talent like his. While sports in general and the NBA provide
a big platform from which to become well know, the name Kobe is known around the globe and not just for his skills on the basketball court, but for being a man, an idol for others to emulate. So, why should anyone feel badly over the loss of Kobe Bryant, a man who had everything one could possess here on Earth? It’s really pretty simple. Because everything he had, he shared with all of us. We cheered when he won, cried when he lost; we admired him for the way he conducted his life and now we feel a deep loss knowing he was taken from us far too soon when he had so much more to give the world. While we mourn his passing, we can also pass along some of the joy he shared with us by living life to the fullest and touching those around us in the way he did. Rest in peace, Kobe. ■ — Dan Alexander is the publisher of The Sun newspapers in New York and the Vermont Eagle.

Prior to World War I, automobile s in Ver mont functioned by-and-large as novelties or object s of curiosity. They were few in number; in 1906, there were 373 registered vehicles. According to William Wilgus, author of “The Role of Transportation in the Development of Vermont”, usage was confined to individual pleasure and convenience.

This little guy has been through a lot.
DEXTER is a three- to four-year old Beagle mix who needs the most loving home. His early life was spent entirely confined to a kennel. He was not let outside of it and it was almost never cleaned. All he learned in that life was to be fearful and neglected. He was rescued by a good Samaritan who brought him to us. Dexter has been in a caring foster for about 2 months in order to learn more about him and see what his ideal home would look like. Here is what we know: Dexter is an extreme snuggler; he truly can’t get enough! He gets very attached and wants a homebody human who can cuddle with him. He is incredibly affectionate and sleeps under the covers right next to you. He is a lap dog through and through and very people-oriented. He isn’t big on going outside; he just wants to do a quick walk to do his business and then go back to
his home. We hope that with time going out and about will be more enjoyable for him, but currently it is overwhelming and overstimulating for him. He requires slow and gentle exposure in all things. Dexter gets anxious during car rides and has barking meltdowns; he can’t sit still or feel very safe. Car rides are not a source of fun for him or his humans, so he needs a family that is cool with that being an area of training and slow exposure work. Dexter is still periodically marking in the house, otherwise is house-trained. In his foster home he chose one area and continues to use it. Dexter needs an owner who has comfort with this training issue and can help him work on that. He LOVES to play, totally digs his toys and gets cute cases of “zoomies” around the room. Dexter is not safe around cats and only likes a select few dogs. Dexter shows himself to be a dominant dog and needs to be the only dog in the home. Overall, this next phase of life for Dexter holds with it tons of possibility and potential. Above all else, he needs a warm home that reassures him every single day that his new life won’t be like his old one. If Dexter is just what your heart has been looking for, come meet him.

Adopt-A-Pet Cats, kittens, dogs and puppies: one thing they all have in common is that they need and love comfortable bedding. With a chill in the air and lots of animals being cared for at the Rutland Count y Humane Societ y (RCHS), the shelter is running out of bedding for them. If you have any extra bedding that you could donate, they would really appreciate it. Old comforters, blankets, quilts, bath towels and beach towels are perfect for them. There’s a large donation bin outside the front door of the shelter on Stevens Road in Pittsford and you can drop them there whenever it’s convenient for you. If you have any questions please contact the shelter at 802-483-6700.
SAMMY | Two-yearold spayed female lab mix black.
I am on the move constantly. I have so much to see and so much to learn. I will need to go home with a family that is very active, loves walking, hiking and playing. I love all sorts of toys and playing is my game. I could go for hours chasing a tennis ball. I have

lived with cats but sometimes I do like to chase them so if one is in your home it will be a slow and greet and meet to make sure we are both safe.
FLUFFY | Six-month-old neutered male domestic long hair black.
I am a very lovable fella with a super cute face. My long fur is mostly black however I seem to be turning gray in some places and I have a little white spot on my chest. I arrived at the shelter on Dec. 21 as a stray and I have been enjoying the warmth, love, and care that the staff here have been providing. I am a very calm kitty who loves to be held and cuddled. If I could spend the whole day in your arms I would! As much as I love all of the attention I am getting here, I would love an opportunity to find a “furever” home. I very hopeful that someone will fall in love with me soon.
NOOKIE | Four-yearold neutered male jack russell mix brown/white.
Sweet, loyal, independent and a snuggler. Yes, these describe me to the letter. I would
love a lap to snuggle on while we watch a little TV and I like to take over the bed if possible. I will do my best to go under the covers where it is nice and warm. I am, however, a Jack Russel mix so with that comes the “personality” of a typical Jack Russel.
MANGO | Three-year-old neutered male domestic long hair buff.
Mango is my name and being lovable is my game. People tell me I am one Magnificent, Mellow, Yellow, Fellow. I am a sweet lovable lad looking for a lap to snuggle on. My favorite toy is really anything that I can chase. For the most part I am an independent lad and can entertain myself throughout the day. I arrived at the shelter on Nov. 19 because my owner could no longer care for me. Please stop by and introduce yourself to me. I’m sweeter than any Mango you could pick from a tree. ■

Florida man alleged in Lincoln incident
Chester, Foote on Clarkson dean’s list
LINCOLN | On Dec. 28, 2019, Vermont State Police Bureau of Criminal Investigations detective troopers were notified of a complaint in the town of Lincoln involving lewd or lascivious conduct with a child and luring. As a result of the subsequent investigative actions, including multiple interviews, probable cause was found to believe that actions by Walter Hutton, 35, of Pinellas County, Florida, with a child were lewd or lascivious and that he attempted to lure the same child. At the time of the initial report, Hutton was found to have returned to Florida. Due to this fact, and seriousness of the allegations, an arrest warrant was sought and granted by the Vermont Superior Court. Extradition from anywhere in the United States back to Vermont was also granted by request. On Jan. 13, Hutton was located and taken into custody by members of the Pinellas County Florida Sheriff ’s Office without incident. The extradition process will begin at a time to be determined. ■
