Man succumbs after truck sinks into lake SWANTON Ñ A Swanton man was able to exit his truck before it fully sank through the ice into Lake Champlain on Saturday, Feb. 13, only to succumb to the elements about 150 yards away, police said. William Fournier, 23, had been ice fishing with friends that day in the area of CampbellÕ s Bay in Swanton. At around 7 p.m., Fournier and his acquaintances left the shanty they were occupying. According to police, FournierÕ s friends drove in a vehicle toward CampbellÕ s Bay Road, while Fournier drove by himself in his truck toward Alburgh. Swanton police were then notified at about 10:30 p.m. that Fournier had not returned home. Border Patrol officers in a helicopter were later able to locate FournierÕ s truck submerged in the water. The helicopter was equipped with heat detection technology but a heat source near the submerged truck was not found, police said, and the search was called off until morning due to safety concerns. When the search resumed, Vermont State Troopers assisted by Vermont Fish and Game officers, located Fournier deceased on the ice about 100-150 yards from his vehicle. An immediate cause of death was not available, pending an autopsy by the Vermont Office of the Chief Medical Examiner, police said. According to FournierÕ s Facebook page, he worked at Rene J. Fournier and SonÕ s Farm Inc. in Swanton and studied at Vermont Technical College. Swanton Police and members of the Swanton Fire Department were also involved in the search as well as Missisquoi Valley Rescue and the Grand Isle SheriffÕ s Department.

Paid Sick Days bill passes Vt Senate
MONTPELIER Ñ The Vermont State Senate gave preliminary approval to the Healthy Workplaces bill (H.187) on Tuesday, Feb. 2 and full approval the following day. The bill passed the House last year with a vote of 72-63. The senators are changing the bill, so it will go back to the House for review. House members can accept the changes, recommend further amendments, or ask for a Committee of Conference. That decision is expected within the next few weeks. Shap Smith (D-Morrisville), Speaker of the House, expressed his overall support for Paid Sick Days upon hearing about the billÕ s passage in the Senate. Smith stated, Ò IÕ m pleased that the Senate has advanced paid sick days. When Vermont workers are sick, they shouldnÕ t have to choose between supporting their family and taking care of themselves or their loved ones.

Vermont A.G. drops probe against green activist By Bruce Parker
Vermont Watchdog Report
Annette Smith, founder of Vermonters for a Clean Environment, spoke freely to supporters after the attorney general’s office dropped its investigation into her advocacy work. Bruce Parker photo
EditorÕ s note: This is an update of the Vermont Watchdog story which appears in this weekÕ s Vermont Eagle newspaper edition. MONTPELIER Ñ Vermont Watchdog Report: A critic of Big Renewables in Vermont is free from the threat of criminal prosecution after the attorney general’s office dropped an investigation launched in response to complaints from an anonymous green-energy developer. Standing before a large crowd, Annette Smith, surrounded by her attorney and victims of green-energy development, thanked supporters and the anonymous developer whose complaints against her backfired when Vermonters rallied to her cause. Ò I want to thank the people who brought this complaint to the attorney general’s office,” Smith said to thunderous applause from dozens of people gathered at the Statehouse on
Monday. Ò I want to thank the attorney generalÕ s office, too, for following up on it and giving me this opportunity to speak to you all and to the people of Vermont to say we can work together to site renewable energy. We don’t have to fight over this, we don’t need lawyers to figure out how to build our energy future together.” Smith, an environmental activist who helps towns oppose poorly sited solar and wind plants, was the target of a criminal probe for allegedly representing individuals and filing pleadings in Public Service Board proceedings, and for receiving “attorney compensation” for her work. The complainant charged that Smith was guilty of practicing law without a license, an act punishable as criminal contempt of the Vermont State Supreme Court. A news release issued by the attorney general’s office on Monday said allegations against Smith didnÕ t apply. CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

Family man vs. the system S

Publisher’s Column
From the Editor
ince 2006, the Villa family of Allentown, Pa., has tried to garner objective, outside-thearea media scrutiny regarding their fight to bring justice and closure regarding the death of their daughter Sheena. Sheena Villa died tragically at the hands of a politically well-connected drunk driver in 2006. You may recall that the Eagle looked at this story, first, two years ago. ItÕ s time for an update. Why an update? Well, the Villa familyÕ s sad, but important case has special import for VermontersÑ we live in a small state that has an unusually high number of DUI-related accidents and deaths. Many of us wonder just how fair our legal system is when it comes to the victimsÑ and their familiesÑ of DUI incidents. For the Villas, outside-the-area media interest means that most outside editors and reporters just arenÕ t interested in their family story. ItÕ s not unlike this newspaperÕ s account, last week, of the death of Middlebury-born Mason deVos in far-away Oregon. Who cares when something is happening so far away from your community? In the case of the Villa family vs. Lehigh County, Pa., District Attorney James Martin (R), thereÕ s a lot going on regarding the VillasÕ landmark case thatÕ s available in public court documents (which are available to reporters). Regardless, the public would be shocked by much of this case, which perhaps explains why D.A. Martin and the Pennsylvania news media seem to be looking the other way. No one deserves what Bill Villa and his wife Angie have had to endure since the defining evening of March 24, 2006. IÕ ve known Bill, who lives in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, since elementary school and while we were never best friends, we have kept in touch over the years, now via Facebook. I am unable to talk with Bill about his story due to legal restrictions relating to the case. But I have been able to piece together his story from various public venuesÑ online news and Facebook accounts. When I first heard about how Bill and his wife were being put through the ringer, both personally and professionally, since 2006, I felt powerless in what I could do to help as an old school friend, far removed from whatÕ s happening. On the night of March 24, 2006Ñ on the occasion of BillÕ s daughter SheenaÕ s 25th birthdayÑ a politically well-connected drunk driver snuffed out her life. Sheena Villa was an intelligent, vibrant, and promising young woman. I canÕ t imagine how the Villas endured her tragic loss.
Published by New Market Press, Inc.
Sheena was a passenger in a car driven by drunk driver Robert LaBarre, the son of a prominent Allentown, Pa., attorney who is a partner in a law firm that represents both the cityÕ s only newspaper, and, on at least one documented occasion, the countyÕ s district attorneyÑ Robert LaBarreÕ s prosecutor. (The law firm’s principal partner, a Democrat, was involved in the Republican district attorneyÕ s reelection campaign fund-raising committee.) In a local T.V. newscast, the district attorney himself admitted that Sheena and another passenger had “cautioned” LaBarre to slow down. But the Allentown police crash reconstruction showed that LaBarre had ignored their warnings (he never braked) and he crashed, airborne, into a tree on the other side of the road at a minimum speed of 85 mph on a 35 mph residential street. Following SheenaÕ s death, her father mounted a heroic attempt to bring the drunk driver to justice. Eventually, Bill said on radio talks show, with so many people listening, LaBarre had no recourse but to plead guilty to vehicular homicide while DUI and he was sentenced to five-and-a-half to 12 years in state prison. But Bill believed Lehigh County (Pa.) District Attorney James B. Martin had played favorites in the case from the startÑ albeit unsuccessfully, thanks to BillÕ s vigilance. And Bill has been telling his fellow citizens about it ever since at his website, Lehigh Valley Somebody, and on Facebook. Bill has made guest appearances on the Bobby Gunther Walsh Show on News Radio station WAEB 790 in Allentown to talk about SheenaÕ s death and the D.A.Õ s alleged mishandling of the case. In a Sept. 16, 2014, article in PhiladelphiaÕ s Legal Intelligencer, Max Mitchell wrote about what happened next: Ò A critic of the Lehigh County (Pa.) district attorney has been asked by a lawyer for the D.A. not to destroy documents related to statements the critic made on a talk radio programÉ The letter did not say whether Martin intended to file a defamation suit or was considering any further legal action. It did, however, use the phrase Ô multiple false and defamatory statementsÕ to describe assertions apparently made by VillaÉ The letter requested Villa to preserve documents that were in use at any time after March 24, 2006, which was the day of the accident that resulted in the death of Villa’s daughter.” The Aug. 1, 2014 letter from powerhouse Philadelphia law firm Sprague & Sprague did not cite any CONTINUED ON PAGE 5
Grading the Eagle How are we doing? S
omeone told me long ago that a good trial lawyer never asks a witness on the stand a question in which he or she does not already know the answer to. Unfortunately, IÕ m not a trial lawyer and we have no other way to discover the truth without just asking the question. So here goes: How are we doing serving your informational needs as a community Dan Alexander paper? Thoughts from Throughout my career as a newspaper Behind the Pressline publisher of both paid and free, daily and weekly newspapers, readers always expect more and thatÕ s understandable, to a point. As we get started let me remind you with an editorial staff of one, a handful of freelance correspondents and a few support staff members from our sister company The Sun, our free distribution model delivers 11,626 papers each week. Our only financial support comes when you, an organization, local government or business purchase an advertisement in the paper. We are constantly looking at ways to improve our coverage and service across all platforms of print, electronic and mobile, but we recognize there are limits to what we can provide. Nonetheless, with your guidance we can work to trim the items you don’t find useful while adding other information you may find of greater value. As other media outlets in the region tighten their coverage, our long term local commitment compels us to try and pick up the slack. IÕ m asking you to send me an email or go to our online feedback form at the bottom of the Addison-Eagle.com home web page and tell me what you think about this paper or our website. Let me know your thoughts about our features, columnists, coverage of government or local people. IÕ d like to hear the things you enjoy about the paper and the things you dislike about the paper. Are our new features like the calendar of events page or the regional editorial page to your liking? What about our regional coverage through our quarterly magazine North Country Living? Perhaps you have concerns about our postal delivery or the print quality of the paper, or advertisements you would like to see more of in the paper or online. Whatever your thoughts might be Ñ good or bad Ñ we need to know. We have broad shoulders and weÕ ll take every opinion into consideration. Like a wish list, we likely could never meet every request or interest. Some will conflict with others, but over time we find this form of evaluation very helpful in making the type of adjustments that are most important to the vast majority of our readers.

Sanders wins big in New Hampshire primary
BURLINGTON Ñ Democrat presidential candidate U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) “tweeted” to his supporters and voters at the close of the hard-fought New Hampshire 2016 primary, Feb. 9. His brief message said it all: “What we confirmed tonight is that weÕ re building the political revolution our nation needs. This is your movement.” Sanders handily defeated opponent Hillary Clinton, 60 percent to 38 percent. Donald Trump won the GOP side of the New Hampshire primary but by 38 percentÑ not as mighty a showing as Sanders margins. The 2016 presidential campaign of Bernie Sanders, the junior U.S. senator and former representative from Vermont, began with a formal announcement by Sanders on May 26, 2015, in Burlington which followed an informal announcement on April 30. Sanders had been considered a potential candidate for President of the United States since at least September 2014. Although Sanders is an independent, he caucuses with the Democratic Party in the Senate, as many of his views align with those of Democrats, and he is running for the Democratic nomination. SandersÕ s chief competitor for the nomination is Hillary Clinton. Sanders draws large crowds to his speaking events and his populist and self-described “democratic socialist” politics have won him support from working-class voters, especially those under 40. Sanders has stated that his campaign will focus on income and Bernie Sanders: Winner of the 2016 Democratic presidential primary in wealth inequality, which he argues is eroding the American midNew Hampshire Feb. 9. dle class, and on campaign finance reform.

Turns out the station manager and parent company received similar “threatening” letters from Sprague & Sprague and D.A. James B. Martin, too. Pretty scary stuff coming from an elected official, if you ask me. And what’s most scary is that an elected official can muzzle a critic with the mere threat of a lawsuit, without having to cite any specific examples of wrongdoing. Seems like some new laws are in order here to prevent these kinds of shenanigans. So far, D.A. MartinÕ s plan isnÕ t working all too well. Max MitchellÕ s exposŽ in the Legal Intelligencer got the attention of the Vermont Eagle and we hope other out-of-town editors will pay attention as well. While itÕ s not every day that a district attorney threatens to sue a private citizen, a crime victimÑ and grieving fatherÑ for telling his daughterÕ s story on the public airwaves, the local news media in Bill VillaÕ s areaÑ as far as we knowÑ has not published or broadcast a single word about D.A. MartinÕ s “defamation” lawsuit threat. Curiously, mum’s been the word. The Eagle
Employees of Bourdeau Brothers of Middlebury served up a superb country-style breakfast Feb. 12 during the agribusiness’s 34th Customer Appreciate Days event.
Middlebury event attracts farmers
By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ Next to the annual Addison County Fair and Field Days, the only other annual events that gets Addison CountyÕ s farming community together are the two Bourdeau BrothersÕ events held at the agribusiness at 88 Seymour Street in Middlebury. The big events are held in February and September every year. The firm’s latest gathering was held Feb. 12. Customers, friends and special guests braved single-digit temperatures to drop by and enjoy hot coffee, a country breakfast, as well as lunch, and informative, informal talks about avian flu, pesticide safety, corn herbicides, and lots of other good stuff important to local farmers. Bourdeau Brothers of MiddleburyÕ s customers extend from New Hampshire to New York. Jim Bushey founded Bourdeau and Bushey, Inc.Ñ now simply Bourdeau Brothers of MiddleburyÑ with Germain and Remi Bourdeau, in 1982. The multi-acre Seymour Street site in Middlebury was formerly occupied by Ralston Purina and Wayne Feeds. The men transformed the revamped business into Addison CountyÕ s largest farm-related enterprise. Bourdeau Brothers is primarily a dairy agricultural business, providing dairy farmers with the services and products. This includes soil and feed testing, fertilizer, lime, feed, and plant-protection aids. Wisdom is part of the package, too, with guidance on how to use products and services.
Bourdeau also helps farmers determine how much fertilizer they need to grow their crops to their full potential while at the same time reducing pollution. They even grow corn in their backyard so they can show farmers the different kinds of corn available to them, which helps them make an informed decision about what type of corn to plant. In addition to providing dairy farmers with these essential services, Bourdeau also offers different diets for dogs, focusing on working dogs that need a high fat, high energy diet, such as sled dogs. They ship these feeds all over New York and New England. They also provide horse diets as well. The company has won numerous awards for its involvement in both the community and with local farmers from organizations such as the Future Farmers of America, and Pioneer Seeds. Ò We work with many organizations in agricultural production and management,” according to Manager Skip Cray. A veteran in the agribusiness community, Cray has been with the company for 21 years. Ò These range from suppliers for seeds, crop protection, and animal nutrition to organizations that provides soil and forage analysis to help with feed and nutrient management plans, insurers, and financial services to agricultural producers.” Farming in Vermont is always challenging depending on the climate and the economy. Today, Cray said that the low-price of milk is a dark cloud on the horizon, however, lower fertilizer, grain and fuel costs add a positive light. Regardless, farmers are cautious. “Everybody’s tightening their belts,” he added. “We’re all using less right now.”

The Week In Sports
Saints win matchup against UMA Moose RUTLAND Ñ The College of St. Joseph Fighting Saints menÕ s basketball matched up against UMA Moose, and were just able to fend off the Moose for a 90-86 win. The Saints improved their record to 16-7 overall and 11-1 in the conference. On senior night, the Saints did not let down the home crowd, which was one of the largest this season. In this intense conference matchup there were 13 ties and 12 lead changes, but the Saints were able to make a couple of key plays down the stretch. Coming off the bench, Antonio Gordon provided a spark and led the Saints with a much needed 27 points. Kareem Brown also collected 21 points and 10 rebounds of his own on his way to a double-double.
Reigning CSJ National Player of the Year Regina Steele put on a masterful performance to help get the win against the Vikings.
Lady Saints win big against Villa Maria RUTLAND — The College of St. Joseph Lady Saints finished off the week with yet another blowout victory, beating Villa Maria 87-56, improving their overall record to 22-1. The Rutland college teamÕ s current winning streak has now increased to an impressive 20 games in a row. Reigning National Player of the Year Regina Steele put on a masterful performance to help get the win against the Vikings. Steele had 27 points and 21 rebounds to go along with five blocks. Mookie Kennedy also added 24 points of her own. The Saints defense was able to cause 22 turnovers, out rebound them 65-31, and have more assists at 19 to 15.

Fighting Saints winning streak stretches to six
RUTLAND Ñ The College of St. Joseph menÕ s basketball team won their sixth straight game last night after defeating the VTC Knights 80-68. The current USCAA Player of the Week Kareem Brown led the Fighting Saints to victory, scoring a game high 22 points and pulling down a game high 13 rebounds. It was a well-rounded victory for the Saints, who had five different players score in double figures. Travis Threewitts and Antonio Gordon each had 14 points, while Joshua McAfee and Kyle Houston added 13 and 10, respectively. VTC was led by Robert Holliday. He had a team high 14 points and 12 rebounds. He also had a game high seven turnovers, which proved to be costly for the Knights. They had 25 turnovers as a team and the Saints were able to score 21 points off those turnovers, which may have been the difference in the game. CSJ now moves to 18-7 overall on the season and 14-1 in YSCC conference matchups. The Fighting Saints played their final game of the regular season Feb. 14 against SUNY Canton.

“The Vermont Attorney General’s Office has closed its investigation into a complaint about Annette SmithÕ s actions in various proceedings before the Public Service Board (PSB). The Office has closed the investigation without further action,” the statement said. On Dec. 21, the attorney general’s office received a complaint about SmithÕ s advocacy, and on Jan. 19, Assistant Attorney General Zachary Chen informed Smith that she was being investigated for work in connection with five renewable energy dockets before the Public Service Board. While the name of the complainant was withheld, Smith immediately filed a public records request to find out who was accusing her. Surrendered documents linked the complaint to Dinse, Knapp and McAndrew, a law firm that represents greenenergy mogul David Blittersdorf and employs House Speaker Shap Smith as an attorney. David Sleigh, the St. Johnsbury attorney who represents Smith, fired back, threatening a civil rights lawsuit against the attorney general’s office for violating Smith’s free speech rights. Sleigh announced that the attorney general dropped the probe shortly after noon on Monday. Standing with Smith and Sleigh were many victims of VermontÕ s green-energy boom: Don and Shirley Nelson, whose dis-

Without SmithÕ s advocacy, these victims would have had little chance to fight back against Vermont’s flawed renewable energy siting process. Ò The Public Service Board is, in my professional opinion, an abusive process,” Smith said. “It is abusive to the people who participate. It does not provide protections for pro se parties. I have sat in the room with citizens who are abused by the other attorneys, and it’s not shut down.” Smith added the probe had boomeranged to reveal the shady tactics developers use to silence their critics. Ò What this has done is to expose what an undemocratic process we have for siting renewable energy projects. It has also brought attention to the playbook and tactics of the wind industry in particular, which uses silencing people as a way of É getting their project through.” Smith urged that energy developers should be required to follow VermontÕ s stringent Act 250 land use process in a way similar to other developers. That law requires developers to comply with town and regional plans and lacks the “public interest”

In his State of the State address on Jan. 7, Shumlin explained his support: Ò Vermonters who are sick should not have to choose between going to w,ork or losing their job. This isnÕ t just about fairness for employees; itÕ s about protecting all of us. Nationwide, almost 90 percent of food workers report that they go to work sick, and according to the CDC, 65 percent of foodborne illnesses result from the handling of food by someone whoÕ s sick. IÕ m encouraged that the Senate is committed to getting the good bill the House passed last year to my desk.” Lisa Lafountain of Jericho celebrated the bills passage, saying, Ò IÕ m very excited about the Senate vote today. Workers like myself are one step closer to being able to take the time we need to care for ourselves and family members without having to sacrifice our economic stability.” Greg Marchildon, of AARP-Vermont pointed out the importance to VermontÕ s elders, saying, Ò AARP-Vermont praises the Vermont State Senate for passing an important bill which would allow Vermonters to meet their employment responsibilities and their responsibilities to care for elderly or sick loved ones.”

John Rodgers, D-Essex/Orleans, speaking from the crowd, said renewable energy isn’t benefitting Vermont under the current system. Ò Just because you see a panel or a windmill, it doesnÕ t mean it’s benefitting Vermont. If the RECs are being sold out of state and the money is going to the millionaire class and rich corporations, itÕ s not going to Vermont. We need to impress that on all Vermonters,” he said. Rodgers is sponsoring multiple bills to ban industrial wind turbines and bring developers under Act 250 land use reqirements, bills that Smith supports. Ò We really shouldnÕ t be building wind in Vermont at all because the costs outweigh the benefits,” she said. “Unless we’re going to address the issues, nobody in Vermont is ever going to want to live near a wind turbine, not when they hear what has happened with these communities.” Asked afterward if she thought the connection between the pro-renewables law firm Dinse and Knapp and House Speaker Shap Smith contributes to a one-sided approach to energy in Vermont, Smith said, “There’s an appearance of a conflict of interest. Does he have a firewall between him and his firm? I can’t answer those questions.” Contact Bruce Parker at bparker@watchdog.org.
Over 250 Vermont businesses have signed a petition in support of the bill, and business owners testified this week in support of the bill. Matt Birong, 0wner of 3 Squares CafŽ in Vergennes, expressed his support, saying, Ò I think this bill is one of the best examples I’ve seen of really working hard to figure out how to find the right balance for employers and employees and I applaud all the work that has gone into this.” But not everyone in the business community were fawning over the Sick Days Bill. Ò Small businesses in Vermont, regardless of size, cannot tolerate any more mandates from lawmakers looking for a feel good sound bite to play during their next election,” National Federation of Independent Business representative Kris Jolin. Ò Mandating paid leave will have consequences for small businesses, and for their employees, regardless of what proponents would like Vermonters to believe,” “We will not tolerate politicians claiming they advocated on small businesses behalf by throwing in a 5 or fewer employee exemption because it still damages a majority of our members. The Senate had the opportunity to stand up for small businesses and vote down this mandate. “Unfortunately, once again, they failed to advocate for our state’s largest employer,” Jolin added. Ò Mandating paid leave will not only cost small businesses revenue that they do not have, but this will cost employees jobs that will no longer be available when mom and pop stores cannot afford the hard working people that they treasure dearly.”

Midd Chorus announces rehearsals MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Middlebury College Community Chorus announces a new season to prepare for its annual spring concert, slated for performance on campus on the afternoon of MotherÕ s Day, May 8. Regular rehearsals are Tuesday and Sunday evenings from 7-8:30 p.m. in Mead Chapel, beginning Feb. 16. This seasonÕ s program includes a mix of classical choruses alongside arrangements of traditional songs and new works. The choir will prepare the Magnificat by Baroque composer Antonio Vivaldi. Its ten sections contain a variety of choral styles, with dramatic shifts in textures and harmonies that bring life to the words of Mary, sung when she learned she would become the mother of the Messiah, according to the gospel of Luke. A portion of the program includes unique choral arrangements of lullabies from Africa; a new work by American composer Daniel Elder, simply entitled Lullaby; and the beautiful Seal Lullaby, on a text by Rudyard Kipling, by the noted contemporary composer Eric Whitacre. The chorus welcomes the change of seasons and flowering of spring with a new setting of the classic Robert Burns text, A Red, Red Rose, by Nashville composer Kevin Memley; Los Bilbilicos (The Nightingales), a Ladino (Judeo-Spanish) Sephardic song arranged by distinguished Vermont conductor Robert De Cormier; Enjura, an Ugandan song that depicts the coming of the rains; a popular Israeli romantic song, Erev Shel Shoshamin that tells

how night falls slowly while the winds carry the scent of roses; and a brand new setting, by Wisconsin composer Zachary Moore, of Alfred Lord TennysonÕ s text, There is Sweet Music Here. Conductor Jeff Rehbach notes that this program will offer singers the opportunity to explore the music of a new generation of American composers Ð born between 1970 and 1992 Ð and their expressive writing for chorus and piano, as well as a variety of choral styles from across the globe. Rehbach continues in his sixteenth season as director of the College Community Chorus, and Timothy Guiles returns as the choirÕ s virtuoso accompanist. The choir welcomes all interested singers to join the ensemble, before the end of February. Participants should plan to attend at least one rehearsal each week. Numbering nearly 100 singers, the group is open without audition or mandatory fees to all singers who can follow a musical score. Its members travel from throughout the region to participate in this 150-year-old community tradition, hosted by Middlebury College. For schedule information, check on the website http:// go.middlebury.edu/communitychorus or contact director Jeff Rehbach at 802-989-7355.

Breakthrough film ‘Girlhood’ gets Middlebury screening By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ A French motion picture will get special treatment on the Middlebury College campus next month. “Girlhood,” which in its French release was titled, Ò Gang of Girls,” promises to stimulate classroom discussions across campus. MiddleburyÕ s Melissa Thompson has done some advance publicity for this special campus screening. “The film’s character, named Marieme, starts a new life after meeting a group of free-spirited girls,” Thompson wrote, in a recent news release of campus events. Ò She changes her name and her style, drops out of school, and starts stealing to be accepted into the gang.” Worldwide, comments about the two-yearold film have been extremely positive—and thatÕ s an understatement.
ItÕ s hard to remember the last time an imported film that has had as much talk, especially on U.S. college campuses. In light of this year’s “all-white” Academy Awards controversy, many Hollywood producers are probably ringing their hands over the fact that it was France, not Tinsel Town, which produced this hard-hitting film. In the USA, reviewers praised the film: “A mesmerizing exercise in the enlightenment that can happen when a filmmaker shifts the male cinematic gaze ever so slightly,” was Washington Post critic Ann HornadayÕ s reaction to “Girlhood”. Directed by French feminist-lesbian auteur Céline Sciamma, the film stars Karidja Touré— and while the story is your basic ”coming of age” drama, it’s focus is about inner-city life in Paris, which as all the racial and religious unrest that makes up life in 21st-century Europe. If anything, “Girlhood” will make you rethink societyÕ s role in the world of gangs, gen-
der, racial and class warfare. You may not like SiammaÕ s decidedly leftist take on society after seeing this film, then again, she does touch a raw nerve when depicting whatÕ s out there, in the streetsÑ like it or not. The two campus screening of “Girlhood” are
sponsored by the Middlebury College Department of French and the Hirschfield International Film Series. Screenings will be held Saturday, March 5, at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m., in Dana Auditorium. Admission is free to students and the general public.

Police cite Rite Aid druggist HINESBURG Ñ Vermont State Police reported that they received a complaint of prescription medications and regulated drugs being “diverted” by an employee at Rite Aid Pharmacy located in South Burlington. Rite AidÕ s loss-prevention investigators told the VSP that they found pharmacy technician Holly Russin, 33, of Hinesburg, stealing numerous types of prescription medications and regulated drugs from the pharmacy area. A VSP investigation revealed Russin diverted nine types of both regulated and unregulated prescription drugs dozens of times; this occurred over the three-month -long period in which she worked for the company. The total number of prescription pills diverted exceeded 600 tablets. Medications and regulated drugs included tramadol, hydrocodone and diazepam. Russin was cited for numerous counts of prescription fraud and embezzlement for her involvement with the theft of the missing medications. She will appear in court in March to answer to the charges.

Snow blamed on Route 22A accident
Published by New Market Press, Inc.
BRIDPORT — On Feb 9, at approximately 8:10 a.m., Vermont State Police were notified of a single vehicle rollover involving a tractor-trailer rig on Vermont Route 22A in the Town of Bridport. The VSP arrived on scene and met with the operator, identified as Manar Ibrahim, 22, of Allentown, Pa. Ibrahim advised police that he was travelling southbound on Route 22A at approximately 40 mph when he lost control of his trailer as he navigated a downhill left curve. Ibrahim said that he left the roadway overturning the vehicle, which came to rest on its passenger side, causing moderate damage. Troopers report that they do not believe alcohol or drugs played a factor in the crash. No injuries were sustained as a result of the crash.

Citizen advocates ensure all Vermonters are heard
W
hen I was first elected to public office at the age of 37, I was lucky enough to have a mentor, Tom Lehner, who had spent most of his career in public administration. I first met Tom when I was a young law clerk to Supreme court Justice Louis Peck and he was the Court Administrator. Tom took seriously the obligation of government to look out for all Vermonters Ð especially those who could not easily speak up for themselves. I remember how he would raise his eyebrows at me when I was about to move ahead without fully considering all of the unintended consequences of a decision. He would say, Ò Remember Deb, what you see will depend upon where you are sitting.” Tom was teaching me a lesson in leadership -- that great leaders take time to listen. To be most effective, it is important to understand issues from the perspective of all Vermonters, not just from those rich or practiced enough to participate in public debate. This advice sounds simple, but I have seen how difficult it can be to put into practice. It is human nature to see the world through the lens of our own life experiences; we tend to listen to and trust the advice of our own experts and those who share our values. It can be uncomfortable to have our opinions challenged, but this is exactly why it is important for government officials to make it easy for the public to get involved. There has been a long history in our country of ordinary citizens speaking out and organizing against threats to public health and the environment. Examples from across the country include Love Canal in New York, a town built on a toxic chemical dumpsite, and Hinkley, California, a small farming community affected by groundwater pollution from a nearby gas plant. In Vermont, highly toxic chemicals from an old dry cleaning facility in Williamstown contaminated the soil and groundwater.
In all of these cases, and many more, grassroots organizations played an important role in protecting health, communities and nature. Advocates and nonprofit organizations ensure that Vermonters have the tools and resources needed to participate in decisions that impact their communities and our Vermont way of life. This is why at the Agency of Natural Resources (Ò The Agency”), we are finding ways to increase public participation in our decision-making. This year, we have brought to the legislature a proposal to reform our permitting process. Our goal is to simplify the notice and comment periods so that it is easier for neighbors and community members to learn about projects and get involved. Other changes will ensure that we develop a transparent record that explains the basis of our decisions and that projects requiring multiple permits can be coordinated, making it easier to participate in public hearings. We are increasing opportunities for stakeholders to meet with Agency staff early in the permitting process so we can take into account their concerns. We also hope to get legislative support to establish a reconsideration process for decisions made by the Agency that Vermonters can navigate without a lawyer. These changes will be good for the Agency and good for Vermont. By increasing the opportunity for Vermonters to participate, our decision-making will be more transparent. With more process up front, there will be less need for costly law suits. But the most important reason for creating systems that encourage public involvement is that the decisions themselves will be better. Over the years, I have come to understand how important it is that Vermonters have equal access to the administrative and judicial process. I have also seen how difficult and expensive these proceedings can be and how we must continue to encourage our citizen activists. As environmental pioneer, Donella Meadows has said “No one can define or measure justice, democracy, security, freedom, truth, or love. No one can define or measure any value. But if no one speaks up for them, if systems arenÕ t designed
to produce them, if we donÕ t speak about them and point toward their presence or absence, they will cease to exist.” Deb Markowitz is secretary of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.

Local foundation gives $16.7 million
MIDDLEBURY — Officials of Middlebury-based Vermont Community Foundation announced that they awarded more than $16.7 million in grants in Vermont and beyond in 2015, one of the highest levels of grantmaking in the FoundationÕ s 30-year history. The great majority of the grants were made by individuals, families, and businesses who work through the Community Foundation, while more than $1 million of the total was awarded through staffguided grant programs. Many nonprofit organizations also have some or all of their endowment at the Foundation. Ò Last year was an exceptional year of giving for our fundholders, and it underscores something that we already know: Vermonters are a generous, caring group,” says Felipe Rivera, interim president & CEO. The Community Foundation currently manages over 700 funds and more than $220 million in charitable assets.
Middlebury man arrested, released
SHOREHAM Ñ Vermont State Police authorities responded to a residence on Veromnt Route 22A in the Town of Shoreham for a reported citizen assist complaint. Further investigation by the VSP revealed that Brett Webb, 30, of Middlebury, arrived at the Route 22A residence demanding medication. Webb was asked to leave the property as he was becoming confrontational and argumentative with staff members. Webb refused to leave the property, he was subsequently taken into custody and transported to the VSP New Haven Barracks for processing. Webb was released on a citation to appear in Addison County District Court on March 28, at 12:30 p.m., to answer the charges of disorderly conduct and unlawful trespass.

Politics is the focus of local author By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ Addison County author Terry AmRhein is well known to many avid newspaper readers. His political editorials have appeared in many regional papers such as the Burlington Free Press, the Daily Gazette of Schenectady, the Times Union of Albany, and others. Not shy about pulling punches or tackling big picture issues from the liberal side of the aisle, AmRhein’s new book, “Democracy on the Edge”, is chock full of thought-provoking chapters, even if you disagree with solutions offered. Topics include dismissing Tea Party folks as kooks, taking on the Supreme CourtÕ s Ò Citizens United” decision, pointing out the limits of gun ownership, socialized health care, financial concerns (real or imagined), and lots more. Retired Porter Hospital physician Bill Fifield contributed a detailed chapter on the gloom-anddoom of manmade global warming. The chapter lacked the perspective of deep time, such as EarthÕ s four billion-year spree of natural climate change. ThereÕ s geological evidence of ice ages and warming spells beginning as far back as the Precambrian PeriodÑ when our ancestors were just so much amino acid glop in the primordial goo. It would have been more entertaining for AmRhein and Fifield to include someone with a dissenting scientific opinion, a respected skeptic not just a mere denier. I am thinking of either space scientist Fred Singer or former NASA senior climate scientist Dr. Roy Spencer. To quote Spencer: Ò Believe it or not, very little research has ever been funded to search for natural mechanisms of warming… it has simply been assumed that global warming is manmade...” According to AmRhein’s publisher, the book is based on verifiable facts, but it’s “also filled with Terry’s flare for personal anecdotes and humorous quips that make the book delightful to read.” “Democracy on the Edge” will delight liberal, progressive readers. It is published by Mill City Press of Minneapolis, Minn., and is available online and at local bookstores. Pictured at right: Vermont author Terry AmRhein and grandchild.
