Vermonters defend local gun rights
Over 1,000 new legal bills introduced
Multiple towns designated 2nd Amendment “sanctuaries”
By Guy Page VERMONT DAILY CHRONICLE
By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
PITTSFORD | You wouldn’t think an amendment to the U.S. Constitution would require special, local protection, but in today’s twitchy anti-gun environment, illegal immigrants seem to evoke more empathy by some citizens than legal gun owners. In the case of several Vermont communities, gun owning citizens are leading the way in spurring the adoption of designations for their towns as Second Amendment “sanctuary” towns. The towns of Holland and Pittsford are among the first towns to adopt Second Amendment “sanctuary” protections this year. Clarendon and Derby are likely to declare “sanctuary” status shortly. The new movement represents a growing backlash by some voters against recent antigun efforts (such as a 72-hour waiting period
Eric Davis: “Towns passing their own resolutions to protect the right to keep and bear arms will send a strong message to the gun grabbers in Montpelier that Vermonters are tired of being pushed around.” Public domain photo by Ratha Grimes and bump stock ban, among others) promoted by Republican Gov. Phil Scott and the state’s mostly Democrat/Progressive legislature. What exactly is a Second Amendment sanctuary? The practice, which takes it lead from the illegal alien “sanctuary cities” movement, began in Effingham County, Illinois, in 2018; it prohibits local elected and unelected officials from “enforcing certain state gun control laws.” According to Eric Davis, the new president of Gun Owners of Vermont, “...We need people
to take the lead in their respective towns to get the measure passed by their select boards to become official. Towns passing their own resolutions to protect the right to keep and bear arms will send a strong message to the gun grabbers in Montpelier that Vermonters are tired of being pushed around... Let’s stop playing defense and take the fight to them. “ Founded in 1997, Gun Owners of Vermont describes itself as a non-partisan pro-gun organization. It states that it is committed to a “no-compromise position” on gun rights. ■
MONTPELIER | As of Jan. 27, the 201920 Vermont Legislature has introduced 1,241 new bills and eight proposed Constitutional amendments. The Legislature also has introduced 290 resolutions: eight Joint Resolutions of the House (JRH), the 13 House Resolutions (HR), 226 House Concurring Resolutions (HCR), eight Senate Resolutions (SR), 35 Joint Resolutions of the Senate (JRS), and 17 Senate Concurrent Resolutions (SCR). During the entire 2017-2018 session, 1,224 bills were introduced, the highest total (until this year) for at least the 10 previous years. It is not known whether more bills will be introduced this year. Most bills do not become law. And like plain-looking boys and girls at the southern Cotillion, many do not receive a second glance after introduction. The following is a partial list of bills introduced recently into the Vermont House. No judgement here is made on whether they are good, bad, or indifferent: “Et cave ne vet” (let the voter beware): See LAWS » pg. 3
VERMONT’S F-35 TRAINING UNDERWAY IN FLORIDA Fighter jets have made-inVermont data components By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
The Vermont Air National Guard received its first two F-35 Lightning II aircraft in September 2019, and now has seven assigned to the 158th Fighter Wing. The full complement of 20 aircraft is scheduled to arrive in Vermont by summer. USAF photo
BURLINGTON AIRPORT | A complex jet aircraft like the new F-35 requires highly skilled pilots and ground crews. That’s why Vermont Air Guard men and women of the 158th Fighter Wing are at Eglin Air Force Base in Florida, to train in flying and maintaining the fighting machine. Pilots and ground crews will return home by late March.
Members, aircraft and support equipment departed last week for a training event known as Southern Lightning, according to an Air Guard news release. Over 100 airmen from maintenance and operations groups who will fly and maintain the jets are developing their readiness while in Florida. “This is the first opportunity to take aircraft, equipment and personnel and practice in a new environment,” said Lt. Col. Ernest Tomasi, 158th Aircraft Maintenance Squadron commander. “We are going to capitalize on our training and lessons learned and continue to improve our processes to be ready with the F-35.” The F-35 has another made i n Ve r m o n t c o n n e c t i o n :
She lbu r ne -b a s e d Ha rb ou r Industries announced last week that it is now a U.S. Defense Department-approved manufacturer for coax and data cables used on the F-35 Lighting II fighter. Robert Canny, Harbour president said, “We look forward to supporting the 2020 F-35 Sustainment Contract just released by the Pentagon and Lockheed Martin. Harbour has a long reputation of providing timely products to our business partners to support their ramp to full production.” “The Vermont Air National Guard received its first two F-35 Lightning II aircraft in September 2019, and now has seven assigned to the 158th Fighter Wing, according to Tomasi.

The Middlebury Select Board awarded a contract to G. Stone Motors for the purchase of a 2020 Ford Interceptor Utility Hybrid for the Middlebury Police Department for a total cost of $34,875. The Interceptor, the only hybrid vehicle among four bids that the town received, will be used as a patrol vehicle and will become the second hybrid in use by local police (the first, purchased in 2017, is used by the police investigator). Middlebury Police Chief Tom Hanley said that the Interceptor Hybrid is a new model for Ford, and outside of New York City, is not in wide use. He said the police department will monitor the vehicle’s performance and maintenance history closely. Photo courtesy of Ford Motor Co.

Woof – Woof. Remember the movie Herbie Goes Bananas? Well, that is not me but I do like my name. Look at my beautiful blue eyes, they just draw you right in. I can be a little shy when
we first meet but I am an absolute sweetheart. I have lived with another dog and did nicely with the companionship. I arrived on Jan. 13 from a busy shelter in Mississippi. My previous owner surrendered me because they could no longer care for me. Well, here I am in Vermont with cold temps and snow. Not sure if I like the weather but someone keeps telling summer is coming with warmer weather. If you have another dog in the home it will be important to do a meet and greet here at the shelter. I have no known Addison County 'sHuman eSociety history with cats or children.

Homeward Bound I arrived at the shelter on Oct. 28 as a stray from Rutland. I really don’t care for treats but love, love, love to be as close to you as possible. I will just lean into you with head held high and smile. I really like to play with all sorts of dog toys but I do have to say that tennis balls and squeaky toys are my favorite. I think you will agree that I am one handsome boy. My friends here at the shelter say that I can pull and tug pretty hard when walking so maybe a harness would be beneficial. I do get very reactive when I see another dog. I know this may sound selfish but I would really like to be the only dog in the home so that I can have all the attention. I do not have any history with cats or children. ■

I have made leaps and bounds since I found myself at the Rutland Country Humane Society on Nov. 1. However, I would love to find my forever home. I am just so tired from hopping from place to place.

Meet BOB. This handsome fellow was named after his wild cousins, the bobcat. If we didn’t know any better we might guess he has bobcat DNA somewhere in his genetic makeup. Bob came to us with several other cats from a guardian who had more than she could care for. He is slow to warm up but once you earn his trust, he’ll be your best friend. Bob has lived with other cats all his life and really enjoys the company of other cats here at the shelter, so we would like for him to have a feline companion in his new home (if you are looking for two, he has a close friend George who shares him community room) ■

Loki, a 9-week-old trooper on patrol State Police introduces new “K-9” hound dog By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Imagine a member of the Vermont State Police being a mere babe? In the case of little nine-week-old Loki, a Plott hound puppy, she’s being trained to sniff out all sorts of wrong doings, among other things. Loki, the VSP’s newest “K-9”, will be used to locate missing persons and to track fugitives just like in the those Hollywood manhunt movies. In fact, Loki is the VSP’s first hound dog on the team in over 30 years. A female, Loki is named after an ancient shape- and sexshifting Viking god, arrived in Vermont last week from Texas and is being handled by VSP Detective Trooper Chris Hunt. Part of 16-member unit of patrol and detection dogs, Loki on-the-job pals will be Belgian Malinois, German shepherds and Dutch shepherds, and Labrador retrievers. “We are always looking to enhance our capabilities and the service that we provide Vermonters,” Capt. Mike Manley, Vermont State Police special operations commander said. “The biggest advantage to having a Plott Hound is that they can track old scents. These hounds can track scents that can be nearly a day old. For us this is all about tracking, having the best resource available to track lost and missing persons. You can’t get any better than a hound for tracking.” Manley said that Loki will eventually be trained to locate dead bodies in the remotest of locations. “Patrol dogs can do all types — apprehension, tracking, drug work — and our other specialized canines identify explosives
and accelerants,” he said. “Hounds really specialize in tracking. Patrol dogs at best can track scents that are a few hours old. Having Loki as part of the K-9 Unit is sure to increase public safety by giving VSP the best capability to locate missing persons and fugitives.” Starting next month, Loki will spend 15 weeks with the New Hampshire State Police. Troopers there have experience with Plott hounds on the job.
“Her training will include obedience, tracking based on scents on the ground, evidence recovery, and searching wide areas using scents in the air,” according to the VSP.
Loki ain’t nothing but a hound dog, but he’s also now on the job with the Vermont State Police. Left: Detective Trooper Chris Hunt and “K-9” Loki. Photos provided Manley added that if Loki’s training progresses, we’ll likely see more state police hound dogs sniffing around Vermont. ■

When we consider Vermont’s sex offender registry, let’s not forget that it’s designed as a civil regulatory scheme and not a vindictive means to further punish and censure fellow citizens for their past crimes. Recently, the National Association for Rational Sexual Offense Laws (NARSOL) sent official correspondence to Georgia’s Cobb County Sheriff ’s Office calling upon that law enforcement agency to “cease and
desist from imposing unlawful registration requirements on offenders.” Many of us may not like such an idea, especially when it comes to sex offenders, yet there are genuine civil rights protections under which all of us should be ever vigilant. Recently, the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia issued a restraining order preventing the Cobb County (Georgia)Sheriff from requiring signs to be placed on the property of those on the state’s sexual-offense registry at Halloween; this as a way to warn parents and kids. Such an
idea is medieval to our enlightened 21st-century sensibilities. Thankfully, the court ruling at least validates the fact that placing such “warning” signs on private property breaches basic constitutional rights. Clearly, these “warning” signs are nothing more than uncharitable, vengeful, sexoffender scarlet letters. And for what possible civil-minded purpose? L e t ’s h op e Ve r m o nt ’s l aw enforcement communit y never goes down this road. “States and communities need to
be on notice,” according to a NARSOL statement about Georgia’s Halloween yard-sign incident. “They will be challenged the minute they start threatening the constitutional rights of registered citizens.” In the words of French Judge Charles-Louis de Secondat (better known as Montesquieu)writing in his 1748 legal classic, “The Spirit of the Laws”, “There is no greater tyranny than that which is perpetrated under the shield of the law and in the name of justice.” — The Eagle ■
Thoughts from behind the pressline
Update: Supporting community journalism By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER
In the past two months since launching our Support for Community Journalism, we’ve heard from 289 readers and they have contributed $9,940 to date. In this week’s paper, you’ll find an updated list of those who have responded to our request for support in the past month. Our ongoing goal was to obtain approximately 3% to 5% reader voluntary support to assist in maintaining or growing the Sun’s coverage. If you haven’t contributed yet, please consider doing so. We plan to maintain the program going forward, so there will always be the opportunity to jump in with financial support whenever you find it convenient.
Running parallel to a financial contribution is an effort encouraging readers to, at the bare minimum, sign up for free delivery of the paper. We are stepping up this process during the next few weeks as we will be purchasing a new mailing list and converting it to barcode addressing of the paper for the U.S. Postal Service. In this way, we can earn a slight discount on our weekly mailing cost. But, and there is a big but, we want to make certain your address is on the new list. If you don’t want to be inconvenienced by taking the chance that you could fall off our mailing list, please sign up online or send in the form you’ll find in this week’s papers under the heading, important notice. Shortly, when you visit our website, you’ll find reminders showing up with each story and an easy way to contribute online. And speaking of online, you will also be seeing a revamped Sun and Vermont Eagle website
popping up soon as we add a host of new features designed to keep you up to date on community news, sports, events and breaking news. Once that project is completed and running smoothly, we’ll be launching a Sun mobile App for both Apple and Android. The new technology driving the web site will provide automation for our Content Management System that will simultaneously assist the reporting and design staff in sending stories and pictures to both the website as well as the print edition without an extra manual step. Currently, we “build” the paper then go through a completely separate step to post stories to the website. All these steps are part of planning for the future, making certain we are well equipped to meet the demands of the region while at the same time doing so in an efficient manner. As always, feel free to contact me if you have any questions about the paper or these ongoing enhancements. ■

Last month, just as Senate Republicans voted to blindfold the Senate from key witnesses and evidence dur ing the Senate’s impeachment trial of President Trump, even more damaging bits and pieces of his illegal Ukraine aid freeze spilled into public view thanks to the Freedom of Information Act. These documents – heavily and inappropriately redacted by the Trump administration – shed light on just how much more information remains hidden about the alleged misconduct for which the President has been impeached. And it is Congress’s constitutional obligation – not as Republicans or Democrats, but as a coequal branch of government – to fight systematic efforts to keep us and the American people in the dark. Although a lot of news coverage has focused on the president’s alleged abuse of power by using
his public office for personal gain, I believe his wholesale obstruction of a co-equal branch’s constitutional oversight responsibilities merits equal attention, as it threatens a fundamental premise underlying our democracy. No other president in our history has engaged in such a complete stonewalling of Congress. Throughout the impeachment inquiry and trial, the president directed Executive Branch officials not to cooperate at all, and through overly aggressive classification efforts and baseless executive privilege claims, not a single subpoenaed document was turned over. Numerous key witnesses defied Congress and followed the president’s instruction. President Trump isn’t even working to hide this obstruction. As he boasted earlier this week, “we have all the material. They don’t have the material.” Despite this obstruction, some of the very documents President Trump kept hidden from Congress and the American people have recently been made public through FOIA. FOIA empowers the public to request and obtain information from the federal government. Using
FOIA, organizations like American Oversight have obtained documents that – despite the Trump administration’s rampant abuse of FOIA exemptions and redactions – show White House staff laying the groundwork for the unlawful aid delay the day before, and even during, President Trump’s infamous July 25 phone call with the Ukrainian president. As the son of Vermont printers, I’ve worked for decades to improve government transparency, in particular through FOIA. The American people have a right to know what their government is doing. This transparency is necessary to hold our government to account, to ensure it acts in the public interest and follows the law, and to understand what happened if the government falls short. That is especially true if, as the House has alleged, taxpayer money has been used, in violation of the law, to extract a personal favor for the president. But even when FOIA works perfectly, it was never meant to replace Congress’s oversight authority, which is deeply rooted in the Constitution. Republicans
and Democrats alike have agreed: Congress, by virtue of its constitutional mandate and position of public responsibility, should receive more information than the FOIA statute requires, not less... The House of Representatives tried valiantly to obtain these documents from President Trump, but was stonewalled at every turn. Now the Senate has the chance to serve as the check and balance on the executive branch it is meant to be – and compel the Trump administration to provide us with the basic transparency that we deserve as a coequal branch, and that we need to uncover the whole truth. FOIA continues to play a critical role in shining a light on government misconduct. And I will continue to work hard to improve compliance with the letter and spirit of that law... In our democracy, no one — not even a president — is above the law. The Senate’s actions in the days and weeks ahead will shape our system of checks and balances for decades to come. FOIA is doing its job, and slowly, steadily exposing pieces of the truth. Now senators must do theirs and demand all of it. ■

Hospital issues statement on coronavirus Health risk is very low in Vermont By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Area hospitals, including the Rutland Regional Medical Center (RRMC), are monitoring the coronavirus scare as it affects Vermont. RRMC issued a statement last week about the coronarvirus scare and its potential impact on the area. “The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) is closely monitoring an outbreak of respiratory illness caused by a novel (new) coronavirus named 2019-nCoV. “The outbreak first started in Wuhan, China, but cases have been identified in a growing number of other international locations including the United States. Currently, it is unclear how easily this virus is spreading between people. It is important that the Rutland Community know about this virus and how to protect themselves and each other from contracting it,” according to a Jan. 29 news release by Peg Bolgioni, of RRMC. “Cases of 2019-nCoV infection in people have been detected in the U.S. had traveled in Wuhan City. While the CDC considers this a very serious public health threat, based on current information, the immediate health risk from 2019-nCoV to the general American public is very low at this time.”
Jody McIntosh, MSN, B.S., R.N., an infection preventionist at RRMC, said that “the health and safety of... patients, staff, and visitors, remains our top priority. We have a multi-disciplinary team monitoring the situation daily; ensuring that we are prepared for the unlikely, but potential arrival of a patient exhibiting signs of novel coronavirus. Our team will be following specific plans and protocols developed by the Vermont Department of Health and CDC. We appreciate everyone’s cooperation and understanding during this time.” McIntosh noted that symptoms of the novel virus are fever, cough, and shortness of breath. Also, chills, body aches, sore throat, headache, diarrhea, nausea/ vomiting and runny nose. “Symptoms... may appear in as few as two days or as long as 14 after exposure,” she said. McIntosh said that, “if you have traveled to Wuhan China, or have been exposed to a patient under investigation and develop the above symptoms... do not go to work, school, or daycare. Contact your healthcare provider Contact the Vermont Department of Health.” There is currently no vaccine to prevent 2019-nCoV infection. The best way to prevent infection is to avoid being exposed to this virus.

A view of the ruins of the 19th century ironworks in the Forest Dale section of Brandon. The operation was built in 1824 to replace an earlier furnace that was established in 1810 by John Smith to process iron ore that came from nearby ore beds, as well as from Leicester Hollow. Hematite ore was processed with local charcoal to produce pig iron that was then cast into ingots. The iron company also cast stoves, cooking pots, chains, axes, tools, small cannons, and ornamental iron for chairs, statues, and vases. Photo courtesy Bill Powers

POLICE BLOTTER Collision on Route 7 NEW HAVEN | On Jan. 30, at approximately 7:34 a.m., the Vermont State Police responded to a two-vehicle crash located on U.S. Route 7 in the town of New Haven. Both operators were present upon arrival. Preliminary investigation indicated that Michael Cowherd, 62, of Cornwall, was traveling north on U.S. Route 7, a James Barnum, 19, of East Middlebury, was traveling north behind Cowherd at the time of the collision. Cowherd slowed for a vehicle turning in a residential driveway near Pidgeon’s Gun Shop, with two cars in front of him, as did the car in front of Cowherd. Barnum applied the brakes of his Toyota Camry and was unable to stop to avoid a collision, subsequently colliding with the rear of Cowherd’s Cadillac DTS. Alcohol is not believed to have played a factor in the collision. The Vermont State Police were assisted by the New Haven Fire Department and Bristol Rescue. Route 7 was temporarily reduced to one lane of travel. ■

GOOD NEWS FOR LOCAL SKI AREAS
Record level of skiers visit Vermont From News Reports STAFF WRITER
KILLINGTON | Ski areas across Vermont saw record levels of business over the Martin Luther
King, Jr, holiday weekend, thanks to timely snowstorms that resulted in prime conditions for skiing and snowboarding. Sugarbush Resort enjoyed the “biggest day” in its 61-year history on a Sunday last month, according to Public Relations Manager John Bleh. “Sugarbush had a record day on Sunday thanks to the timing of the storm for our MLK Weekend guests,” Bleh said. “The snowfall, along with our snowmaking efforts, helped us open a ton of new terrain, which coupled
with relatively warmer temps kept crowds nicely dispersed all over the mountain.” Steve Wright, president and general manager at Jay Peak, said the resort welcomed the largest number of skiers and riders it has seen in three seasons over the holiday – a level of business that helped erase the disappointment of the previous weekend’s unseasonably warm temperatures and rain. Wright said that one day last month was
Jay’s “busiest day since 2017,” adding that the resort’s total lodging capacity of 900 rooms was “100-percent sold out.” Despite an up-and-down season snow wise so far, skier and rider interest in Vermont’s mountains has remained strong – especially among those new to the sport, according to Stratton Mountain Resort Marketing Communications Specialist Andrew Kimiecik.

From SKIERS » pg. 6
“With pent-up demand after the lack of snow at the tail end of December, we saw a season high including a feel-good story when we did numerous pre-book rentals and ski school lessons,” Kimiecik said. “The interest in learning this weekend gets us excited about the future of the industry, and a customer’s desire to come to Stratton to make their first turns.” Mother Nature wasn’t the only supplier of snow for the holiday. Following the previous weekend’s unfortunate thaw, the mercury dipped right back into optimal snowmaking temperatures and allowed Vermont’s industry-leading artificial snow systems to work their magic. Univer sityoJ Vermont HEALTH NETWOR K temperatures moderated and Once Porter Medical Center the sun came out in all its glory for MLK HELE NPORTER REHABIL ITATION &NURSING Weekend, the stage was set for record business that ski areas hope to see more of. ■ THE-
