Ben and Jerry arrested during Washington D.C. protest By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com The multimillionaire co-founders of Ben & Jerry’s empire of ice cream were arrested at the U.S. Capitol in Washington, D.C., April 18. The men were arrested during a protest over the influence of money in American politics. The businessmen, who started their ice cream operation in downtown Burlington, Vt., in 1978, have been demanding that the influence of money be taken out of the body politic. Ben & Jerry’s business website posted the following comment after the arrest: Ò You could say that our passion for social justice has been baked right into everything weÕ ve ever done. We launched Ô Save Our SwirledÕ last year to bring awareness to climate change. In honor of the Supreme CourtÕ s decision last summer to recognize the right of all couples to marry, we changed the name of chocolate chip cookie dough to Ô I Dough, I DoughÕ .Ó Ironically, the frozen-dairy duo have made their own financial contributions over the years to the Democrat Party, individual candidates, and liberal PACs. Ben Cohen and Jerry Greenfield of Ben and Jerry’s were in Washington as members of Democracy Awakening, an activist group of approximately 300 protestors, when they were arrested. Ò The history of our country is that nothing happens until people start putting their bodies on the line and risk getting arrested,Ó Cohen told reporters at the protest scene. According to various online news reports, Greenfield’s personal net worth is over $150 million; CohenÕ s personal net worth is also over $150 million.

Of Dixie, travel bans, and changing the world

Publisher’s Column
From the Editor ov. Peter Shumlin’s official State of Vermont travel ban to the State of Mississippi didnÕ t seem to register very high on the Magnolia StateÕ s Richter scale last week. Shumlin, in a grand gesture of pandering to his political-base, banned official travel to ol’ Miss (as well as to another southern state recently) over a current law governing transgender bathroom use. After our quick online survey of daily newspapers in Mississippi, the Clarion-Ledger in Jackson being one of them, we noticed that the publications reported the news out of Vermont with a short, syndicated report (written by an A.P. reporter in Montpelier). While this news made Gov. Shumlin and his party cronies pleased and feeling self-righteous, the travel ban really has been a resounding dud down Dixieland way. Gov. Shumlin banned official travel to Mississippi over its recent law regarding what folks of my parentsÕ generation quaintly called Ò menÕ s and womenÕ s restroomsÓ . Today, everything from gender lines to border lines are being blurred, even obliterated. Regardless of what you think about this growing bathroom gender-use issue, weÕ re wondering if Gov. Shumlin’s official travel boycott has the potential of backfiring on the rest of us. Maybe, maybe not. We doubt many folks living in the Magnolia State think much about Vermont Yankees or even care about our visiting the Delta country. Remember, even mainstream Democrats in Mississippi donÕ t think much of VermontÕ s beloved Senator Sanders. Ò BernieÓ garnered less than 17 percent of the Mississippi Democrat Primary vote for president on March 8. But we suggest a satirical idea for those Dixiecrats and Dixiecans who feel slighted by Gov. ShumlinÕ s travel ban
Published by New Market Press, Inc.
against their state: Ò You are cordially invited to retaliate against Vermont Gov. Shumlin and his party machine by boycotting all of our Vermont-made products that may find their way to your steamy, transgender-biased, former slave-owning southern state.Ó But dictating a Dixie travel boycott is one thing, pulling it off is another matter. LetÕ s be blunt: Mississippi doesnÕ t import many (if any) Vermont-made products, especially since that southern state is far richer with its own, diverse agricultural economy. Also, olÕ Miss can provide all the dairy goods it needs. We know from personal experience, having of spent a lot of time in the deep South, that life goes on with or without Ben and JerryÕ s in the Ô Fridge In fact, MississippiÕ s own Sweet Magnolia Ice Cream brand is just as awesome as B&J’s/ And how about our maple syrup down in Mississippi? Quebec seems to do a far better job of marketing its maple-related products to southern states than does Vermont. You donÕ t see market-savvy Quebec politicians boycotting states and provinces, even if they may have political differences with them. After all even conservative Mississippians buy maple syrup. Boycotts and travel bans strike us as juvenile, overemotional ways to spotlight social issues. ThatÕ s why we like sci-fi author and libertarian Neil Smith’s comments about emotional, kneejerk attempts to change the world: Ò The main problem is that for a boycott to be effective, you must first persuade thousands, maybe even millions of others, to go along, which is a lot of work and usually not successful.Ó The Eagle
LETTERS
Eating sustainably To the editor: With the 47th annual observance of Earth Day just around the corner, this is a great time to explore more effective ways of slowing climate change and conserving EarthÕ s natural resources for future generations. A 2010 U.N. report charged animal agriculture with 19 percent of man-made greenhouse gases - more than all transport - and recommended a global shift to a vegan diet. A subsequent World Watch study placed that contribution closer to 50 percent. Meat and dairy production also dumps more water pollutants than all other human activities combined. It is the driving force in global deforestation and wildlife habitat destruction. Last fall, EnglandÕ s prestigious Chatham House declared that reducing meat consumption is critical to achieving global climate goals. A report from Oxford University found that global adoption of a vegan diet would reduce greenhouse emissions by two thirds. The 2015 U.S. Dietary Guidelines Advisory Committee has recommended reduced meat consumption and an environmentally sustainable diet. Just as we replace fossil fuels by sustainable energy sources such as wind and solar, we must replace animal foods with the more sustainable vegetables, fruits, and grains. Being mindful of this can help us make better choices at the supermarket. Gunner Mickelson Cornwall
The right of open dialogue
L
ast weekÕ s column where I suggested that Sanders and Trump might continue their fights to reform the political process by running together on an independent ticket, should their highly popular campaigns be shutdown by the two parties, has received a fair amount of commentary this week. It seems the column struck a nerve on both sides of the aisle. My concern here goes well beyond their candidacies and Dan Alexander any speculation about their future. Thoughts from I did not begin writing this weekly Behind the Pressline column because I am highly opinionated and needed an outlet for my thoughts, although some of our readers believe that to be the case. I began writing because I saw too many people, even within our staff, who wanted to draft opinion pieces anonymously and be shielded from public response and personal attacks. While IÕ m not a talented writer like our Pete DeMola, I try to lead by example, and this column was the end result. The anonymous approach may be popular on the internet, but it doesnÕ t help to foster a respectful dialogue over issues of great importance. In that environment people seem more compelled to respond with insults and derogatory comments versus facts and sound arguments to support their position. A democracy such as ours canÕ t properly function in that manner. We must retain the ability to be open minded toward all issues and not be bullied or influenced by threats of violence when our opinions differ. What concerns me most in our political process today is weÕ ve lost touch with the ability to debate the issues without trying to degrade, insult or threaten the person who wishes to stand up and share their opposing thoughts. Last weekÕ s column solicited a fair amount of rebuttal from both sides, but in every case the writer made it clear the comments were for my eyes only and not for publication. Few offered any valid points to uphold their belief and instead chose to point out how far out of touch I am and how my column is a waste of space. IÕ m a big boy and have been in the public eye from many years, as such, IÕ m thick skinned enough to understand both the low blows and the high praise while not taking any of it too seriously. The goal here is to stimulate open discussion but in doing so we also see and hear far too many who are intimidated and afraid to speak up because of the threatening nature of our disagreements these days. Look no further than some of the recently passed state legislation in the south regarding transgender bathroom use. The disputes are not being waged with words alone, but now with boycotts, firings, and economic threats. You and I both know, sooner or later, it will evolve into some form of violence. We are a community, a country and a world with many differing beliefs. We all need to accept and respect our differences while trying to live our short lives here on this planet. If we can not do so the future will indeed be a rocky one as each group tries to impose itÕ s will on those not willing to push back with ideas and solutions. Dan Alexander is associate publisher of New Market Press.

Police Reports
A letter to Senators White, Pollina, Benning, Bray and Collamore To the editor: The Vermont Press Association thanks each of you very much for your ongoing effort to provide greater transparency for all Vermonters with your work in recent years both on open meetings and public records. The VPA, which represents the interests of the 11 printed daily and four dozen non-daily newspapers circulating in Vermont along with their readers throughout the state that they serve, hopes you will keep that vital transparency effort going by blocking a proposed change in the Open Meeting legislation now coming back to you. We join others in urging you to refrain from lengthening the period of time towns have to post their draft minutes on the municipal website. The Vermont League of Cities and Towns made a last-minute silent campaign to the full House to increase from 5 to 7 days, but we ask that you stand firm for Vermonters. It appears some House members did not understand the full issue. As noted in our earlier letter by VPA President John Flowers of Middlebury in January there is no reason to approve the extension. As you can see in that letter establishing two standards for each town and city was unworkable and our biggest concern at that time. It has not changed. Given the significant number of public meetings in a week, it is impossible for daily and weekly newspapers in Vermont covering several towns to send reporters to all of them. Likewise it is impossible for your constituents to attend all the important meetings. They rely both on Vermont newspapers and town websites for prompt information. Timely access to meeting minutes of public bodies is critical. If a government board meets on a Wednesday or Thursday, and a weekly newspaper goes to press on Tuesday or Wednesday, lengthening the time beyond the current 5-day requirement means taxpayers will be reading information in newspapers two weeks after a public meeting. Some of this meeting information is critical to receive in a timely fashion so taxpayers can offer prompt comments. Granting this extension also has a negative impact on voters who may not be able to get to the municipal building on the fifth, sixth or seventh day to read the minutes. These voters would include, but not limited to those that are without transportation, those that are handicapped or old and have trouble getting out, those that want to read minutes after hours, those that may be traveling, those that may be facing poor weather, especially in winter and many others. Why make all these voters wait two extra days? We believe the publicÕ s right to know through the help of the town websites and stateÕ s news organizations trumps whatever perceived Ò inconvenienceÓ the VLCT alleges a few of its towns believe they might feel. The reality is that it takes very few key strokes to post minutes on a town website after the recording secretary emails the minutes to the webmaster or town clerk. Yet the league says some towns need 48 hours to complete the two-minute task. VPA members say they have not heard from a single clerk objecting to the five-day period. Why would the Vermont Legislature create two standards for releasing minutes? This marks the second time in a year that the VLCT has come in to try to disrupt efforts for greater transparency on meeting minutes. The league officials remained silent during your hearings a year ago about the 5-day posting to websites. After the bill was passed, they still remained silent. After the bill was signed by Gov. Shumlin, they remained silent. As the law was going into effect, the VLCT urged towns to take down their websites if they believed they could not comply. All this did was create more work for some very dedicated town clerks. Suddenly taxpayers wanting answers about voting, zoning permits, signing up for recreation programs, seeking burn permits, licensing dogs and so much more town business required phone calls to the town clerk instead of going to a website. (The extra work created by the move was driven home to the VPA by some clerks.) And who is to say the Vermont League wonÕ t urge towns this year to take down websites if they cannot comply with the 7-day requirement? If web posting is really such a major problem, why hasnÕ t the VLCT offered training to the clerks during the past year to help them come into compliance. As one easy solution the VPA also had proposed towns facing the alleged posting problem could use a local high school student to do the work. What a great internship for a young woman or man to get a first-hand look at local government in action. Maybe they would be a future public servant. We would ask you to stand firm with your original thinking after hearing all points of view in your committee and maintain the 5-day limit that has never been a problem in Vermont. Please join with the VPA and other transparency proponents, including Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos, by insisting on the 5 days. In closing, we would note that this is one bill that you as a state senator can point to proudly as being on the side of Vermonters. This is a bill that will help taxpayers have greater and prompt access to information they need so better choices can be made. Thank you for your time and good luck wrapping up the session.

Ex-Obama “czar” to speak at Middlebury From News & Staff Reports
MIDDLEBURY Ð Van Jones, a CNN political contributor, attorney, author, and environmental and human rights activist, will deliver the 2016 Middlebury College commencement address on Sunday, May 29. Jones is the president and co-founder of Dream Corps, whose current initiatives, including #cut50, #YesWeCode, and Green For All, work to bring economic opportunity to disenfranchised communities. In 2009, Jones was the special advisor for Green Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation at the White House Council on Environmental Quality, where he helped to run the inter-agency process that oversaw $80 billion in green energy recovery spending. He became a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress in 2010, where he leads their Green Opportunity Initiative. Jones is the author of two books, Ò The Green Collar EconomyÓ and Ò Rebuild the DreamÓ . Both titles were New York Times Bestsellers. Jones is also the co-founder of two social justice organizations, the Ella Baker Center for Human Rights and Color of Change. Ò Because VanÕ s life and work is a symbol for open, civil debate on the key issues of our time, I am thrilled that he is able to join us and inspire our students as they move into the next chapters of their lives,Ó said Middlebury President Laurie L. Patton. Ò We should all be willing to cross as many boundaries as Van has to create a better world.Ó Jones will receive an honorary doctor of humane letter degree at the collegeÕ s commencement ceremony. Jones resigned as an Obama Ò czarÓ in 2009 amid controversy about public comments he had made prior to his appointment. According to an online news report posted on Politico, dated Sept. 6, 2009, “Jones was under fire for his past affiliation with the 9/11 conspiracy Ô truthersÕ and for calling Republicans
Van Jones Ô a**holesÕ in a video before he was appointed to the Obama administration. Republicans had also begun using him to escalate criticism of the administrationÕ s deployment of czars across the policy landscape, saying that they were being used (by Obama) to avoid senate scrutiny of appointees.Ó

“I Love Rutland” grassroots movement now boasts t-shirts By Lou Varricchio RUTLAND Ð A spontaneous effort by two residents to show their personal pride of living in the City of Rutland has just turned into a citywide, grassroots movement. Now Ò I Love RutlandÓ t-shirts are being scooped up by locals, and itÕ s hoped that visitors to Rutland CountyÕ s largest municipality will get in the pride-of-place loop, too. Ò Wear the shirt and spread the love,Ó said Mike Napolitano, owner of Awesome Graphics and co-organizer of the campaign. Co-organizer Steve Costello, a Green Mountain Power executive, said that all t-shirt sales will benefit Rutland’s Wonderfeet Kids’ Museum. According to Costello, the shirts have the Ò I Love RutlandÓ logo printed on the garments. In just two weeks, the movement has gathered enough momentum to include a Facebook page and a website, along with the online Ò Heart of RutlandÓ feature, a series of portraits and vignettes about why local people love the community. Costello said that Rutland-based photographer Donna GoodHale and husband, Bradley GoodHale, manage the website and social media effort. He noted that the t-shirts are available for purchase online at www.Iloverutlandvt.com with all proceeds going to the childrenÕ s museum located downtown. “I Love Rutland” is supported by several local businesses and individuals as a non-profit labor of love.

The Addison County Humane Society-Homeward BoundÕ s Pets in Crisis program is set up to provide a safe haven and temporary shelter for pets of victims of domestic violence or natural disaster. Through their new partnership with Addison County Home Health and Hospice, the humane society will be extending the program to those facing medical emergencies. Homeward BoundÕ s Executive Director Jessica Danyow, said, Ò We are excited for this partnership. In many respects, our agencies serve a shared client-base and this collaboration will enable each of us to provide a more comprehensive level of service to our constituents.Ó Addison County Home Health and HospiceÕ s Executive Director Sherry Greifzu, said, Ò Homeward BoundÕ s assistance will provide peace of mind to our patients when they need help with their pets during health emergencies. They can then focus their energy on getting better, rather than worrying about whether their pets are well cared for.Ó In addition to placing animals, the effort educates the community about issues important to the welfare of animals, coordinate a feral cat spay/neuter program throughout the county, provide assistance to low-income pet owners, and assist law enforcement with animal cruelty and neglect investigations.

Hands across the water: Leicester (U.K.) poets reach out to Leicester (Vt.) poets By Lou Varricchio
LEICESTER Ð Back in 1971, on the heels of the pop group BeatlesÕ big split up, ex-Beatle singer and songwriter Paul McCartney, along with wife Linda, penned a major international hit song. Titled Ò Uncle Albert, Admiral HalseyÓ , the hit was a quirky pop song about McCartneyÕ s real-life uncle. Being a very hip British composition of the era, it sported Monty Pythonish lyrics with this repeating line, Ò Hands across the water, heads across the skyÉ Ó Now McCartneyÕ s hit song from the Ò RamÓ album is the rallying call for Vermont and British poets to link hands across the water and skyÑ at least those residing in the two namesake communities separated by the Atlantic OceanÑ communities bearing the name of Leicester. Aspiring poets living in Leicester, Vt., are being invited by two U.K. editors/poets to think about the relationship they have with the British city of Leicester. The local Leicester bards are being encouraged to pen short poems about the tenuous, across-the-pond relationship with that other LeicesterÑ and then submit the poets, for possible inclusion, in a new U.K. poetry anthology that will be published in October. Ò The poems could be about an experience or aspect of Leicester or they could be about part of a life story, a family story, a favorite place in Leicester, a personality or celebrity with a strong link to Leicester or they could be about a relationship with the city, its people, features, landmarks, peculiarities or history,Ó said Ambrose Musiyiwa of Dahlia Publishing Ltd., based in the other Leicester. Musiyiwa is one of the creators of the Leicester Ò pen palsÓ poetry project. To be eligible for inclusion in the anthology, the Vermont poems submitted must be in English and should be 40 lines or less with a strong, recognizable link to Leicester (the one in England that is). The deadline for submitting poems is midnight, July 15. The anthology, which will be called Welcome to Leicester, will be edited by Emma Lee and Ambrose Musiyiwa and published by Dahlia Publishing. For more detailed writing and submission guidelines, see Ò Welcome to Leicester Poetry AnthologyÓ online at https:// emmalee1.wordpress.com/2016/03/17/welcome-to-leicesterpoetry-anthology/.

Salisbury-to-Middlebury gas pipeline work to start By Lou Varricchio MIDDLEBURY Ñ Salisbury and Middlebury residents who will be impacted by construction of the Goodrich FarmÕ s LincolnRNG (renewable natural gas) plant in SalisburyÑ and its attendant gas pipeline which will link the plant with Middlebury CollegeÑ learned more about the project at a public meeting held at MiddleburyÕ s new downtown municipal building, April 20. The Goodrich Farm, and a group of neighboring dairy farms and other organic fuel sources from the local area, are participating in the RNG effort. Residents along the pipeline route learned that a four-inch diameter delivery pipe will be installed from the Goodrich Farm, located on Shard Villa Road, via Three Mile Bridge Road, and Halladay Road to a main line planned along U.S. Route 7. Work on the five-mile-long pipeline is scheduled to start Aug.18 and continue into October. Going north, the pipeline will be installed on the east side Halladay Road until it reaches the north end of the heavily traveled road. Near the intersection of Route 7, the pipeline will cross the west side of Halladay Road. Whenever possible, Ditch Witch-brand underground trenching technology will be used during construction to reduce above-ground excavating. According to Oklahoma-based Charles Machine Works, manufacturer of Ditch-Witch equipment, the companyÕ s gear was designed to replace the pick and shovel for installation work. According to officials of Vermont Gas Systems, Inc., the Burlington-based company will buy 25 percent of the projectÕ s RNG production and construct the distribution pipeline. The pipeline project will supply Middlebury College with the biofuel, via VGSÕ s Ò gas islandÓ . Middlebury College is an investor in the project. Integrated Energy Solutions (IES), based in Montpelier, will build and operate the Lincoln
Construction of five-mile-long RNG pipeline to serve Middlebury College will begin this summer along Shard Villa and Halladay.

The LincolnRNG plant has been in development since 2008. The manure gas will replace no. 6 fuel oil at the college.

GUEST VIEWPOINT
Early lessons from the Jay Peak Scandal T
he Ò Jay Peak EB-5 scandalÓ is in full bloom. While itÕ s too early to pass judgment on all of the parties involved, there are some emerging lessons to be learned. In 1990 Congress created the EB-5 Program to give an incentive to foreign investors to invest in job-creating American enterprises. In return for a $1 million investment, the investor and his immediate family can receive a two- year legal resident permit (Ò green cardÓ ). If by then the required ten new jobs were created, the temporary card would be made permanent. Two years later Congress authorized the Regional Center Program. In approved areas the investment was reduced to $500,000. Vermont state government administers the nationÕ s only statewide Regional Center. Sen. Patrick Leahy, the longtime leading champion of the program, told the Senate in June 2015 that Ò the state-run Vermont Regional Center continues to attract substantial capital investment and É also provides unparalleled oversight of EB-5 projects.Ó The shining star of the Vermont Regional Center has been Jay Peak. After two early rounds of EB-5 financing created the water park and hotel at Jay Peak, on Sept. 28, 2012 Jay Peak president Bill Stenger and his new partner, Ariel Quiros, announced an enormous expansion of EB-5 financing. It consisted of more Jay Peak facilities, two Newport manufacturing plants, a Coventry airport expansion, a Newport hotel and conference center, and a large new Burke Mountain hotel. The pair projected 5,000 construction jobs plus 5,000 more permanent jobs in ten years, financed with $500
million in EB-5 investor money. On April 14 the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission filed a devastating 52-count civil complaint in the U.S. District Court in Miami, where Quiros does business. The crux of the complaint is the allegation that Quiros illegally diverted investor funds earmarked for a specific project into his Ò personal piggy bankÓ for all sorts of unauthorized purposes, including personal enrichment. The complaint names Stenger, who the SEC says Ò recklessly ceded controlÓ over the investor funds to Quiros in Miami, as the Ò facilitatorÓ of QuirosÕ misdeeds, but he is not charged with converting investor funds to his personal benefit. This news is shocking to many Northeast Kingdom residents (including me), who held the likable Stenger in very high regard for his commitment to reviving the Kingdom’s sluggish economy. The common question locally is, “How could a smart guy like Bill have given the cash register keys away to that guy from Miami?Ó That question has not yet been answered. Without making judgments about wrongdoing at this stage, here are a few useful conclusions to emerge from this blowup. First, the $122 million invested in now-completed and profitable projects – Jay Peak ski area, water park, and hotel – are a great boon to the Kingdom’s economy. Regardless of the outcome of the current legal actions, the upgraded Burke Mountain with its $50 million hotel and conference building will continue as an economic plus, albeit doubtless under new management. Second, LeahyÕ s idea of the U.S. government giving legal residence to foreigners in return for their passive investments in government-approved commercial projects certainly has its attractions. But Stenger himself has said publicly that without the EB-5 Ò free moneyÓ , he could never have attracted the investment capital to launch the NEK Initiative. Asking “why not?” raises a red flag. Third, the state-operated Regional Center was given contradictory tasks: to promote EB-5 investment, and to regulate EB-5 projects to protect investors. As governors Douglas and Shumlin are now painfully aware, these tasks can conflict. Shumlin’s relocation of Regional Center financial oversight to the professionally competent Department of Financial Regulation in December 2014, though belated, was a sound step to resolve this conflict. Fourth, the political contributions from Quiros and Stenger to support Democratic politicians illustrate what used to be called Ò honest graftÓ . Unlike straight out graft, which is illegal, the politicians didnÕ t pocket the contributions. But in return for conferring their valuable blessing on an enterprise, they expected political support. The beneficiary of a governor’s crucial gift of credibility would find it very awkward indeed to decline the request. Fifth, as the Jay Peak story slowly developed, and then suddenly broke onto the front page, the Vermont media has done a superlative job in getting the facts into public view Ð with more doubtless to come. Paul Heintz of Seven Days, Mark Johnson of Vermont Digger, Amy Ash Nixon of the Caledonian-Record and perhaps others ought to be in line for prestigious professional awards. Finally, for now, this episode should focus attention on the difficulties of attracting significant investment to the Kingdom and to Vermont generally. LeahyÕ s EB-5 program brought in funds that would never have materialized, from would-be immigrants willing to gamble half a million dollars on a highly touted enterprise run somewhere else by people they didnÕ t really know. Often these enterprises did well, and the investors were happy. But a more sound, responsible way to grow enterprises, create jobs, and bring in tax revenue is to create an attractive business climate. That means modest and competitive tax rates; fair, reasonable and swift regulation; a minimum of intrusive government mandates on business; and a popular culture that celebrates enterprise and wealth creation. On these criteria Vermont habitually ranks near the bottom. John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute (www.ethanallen.org).
Police allege man violated conditions of release CHITTENDEN Ð On April 12, Vermont State Police authorities reported that they received a report of an alleged violation of conditions of release in Chittenden. Through the investigation it was learned Richard Merrifield, 81, violated his conditions of release by speaking with a female victim he was charged with sexually assaulting in June 2015. The victim is identified as a “vulnerable adult” in Massachusetts and Vermont. An attorney representing Merrifield was issued a citation to appear in Rutland Superior Court to answer the charge. The Rutland Unit for Special Investigations is involved in the case and is a multi-disciplinary team that investigates, prosecutes, and serves victims of sex crimes and child victims of severe physical abuse throughout Rutland County.

Stapleford named Rookie of the Week CASTLETON Ð After helping the Castleton University Spartans complete a fourgame sweep over MaineFarmington this past weekend, freshman Charlie Stapleford of Vergennes was named the Corvias ECAC Rookie of the Week. Stapleford delivered, arguably, his best performance of the season to help Castleton take down Maine Farmington in game two of the four-game set, 8-0. The freshman went the distance in his third win of the year, tossing seven innings of shutout baseball with just four hits allowed and seven strikeouts. On the season, Stapleford holds a 3-1 mark with a team-leading 1.57 ERA and 22 strikeouts in 23 innings of work. This marks the first time in StaplefordÕ s career that he has received recognition from the ECAC following a week in which he was named the NAC Pitcher and Rookie of the Week.

Vermont Watchdog Report From page 1
the United Nations climate change conference in Paris where an unprecedented 196 nations came to an agreement to limit global carbon emissions,Ó Shumlin said in a statement announcing the event. “States and regions are the first defense against climate change, and Vermont is implementing the policies that will make a difference in this fight.” Sponsored by the Vermont Chapter of the Sierra Club, Climate Talk VT focused on applying international objectives set forth in the Paris agreement. Shumlin, viewed as a leader in the green movement, aims to turn Vermont into the nation’s first all-greenenergy economy, with 90 percent of energy production in the state coming from renewable sources by 2050É In 2015, VermontÕ s renewable energy sector supported about 15,000 jobs, according to the Shumlin administration. However, a recent report by the Washington, D.C.-based group the Solar Foundation found that VermontÕ s solar energy sector employed only 1,367 workers in 2015, 800 of which were related to solar panel installation. The proliferation of industrial solar panels was expected as a topic for Earth Day events and speeches. As the state moves to increase solar capacity from 104 megawatts to 120 megawatts in the near term, Vermonters are noticing an increasing number of monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon panels across the state (most of the hardware manufactured in China). Unlike Vermont Yankee, which produced 70 percent of VermontÕ s electric generation (and made in the USA) from a single location in Vernon, solar farms require thousands of acres of land across the state to meet VermontÕ s energy needs. Ben Luce, associate professor of physics and sustainability studies at Lyndon State College, estimates that reaching VermontÕ s renewable goals on solar alone would take up about 90,000 acres of land. Ò If you did it all with large solar farms, youÕ d be talking about something on the order of 200 or 300 large solar projects around the state. To a lot of people’s ears that sounds significant,” Luce told Vermont Watchdog in a recent interview. According to LuceÕ s calculations, Vermont will use 10 million megawatt-hours of energy in 2050, up from 6.5 million megawatt hours consumed now. To meet 90 percent of that total energy use with solar would require 9,000 megawatts of solar generation. Since one megawatt of solar panels occupies about 10 acres of land, adding 9,000 megawatts of new solar generation means Vermont can expect 90,000 acres covered in solar panels by 2050. The stateÕ s total land mass is about 6 million acres. VermontÕ s dedication to new industrial-scale electricity plantsÑ including large wind turbinesÑ involves other controversies. Meeting green goals could require abandoning automobiles and using one-third of the stateÕ s ridgelines for wind tur-

bines, according to a prominent green-energy CEO. In addition, VermontÕ s director of energy policy at the Public Service Department has said that meeting all of the stateÕ s renewable energy goals by 2050 will have no impact on global warming. The transition to industrial-scale renewables has split VermontÕ s environmentalist community. While some groups support ShumlinÕ s plans, others claim the build-out to 2050 will harm the environment by decimating natural habitats, displacing wildlife and compromising wetlands and prime ag soil. With solar panels set to overtake many of VermontÕ s pastoral landscapes, it seems appropriate that Climate Talk VT featured a ribbon-cutting Earth Day ceremony to celebrate a new 500-kilowatt solar photovoltaic project.
Mark Nelson, chair of the Vermont Chapter of the Sierra Club, said that the group was pleased to sponsor the Earth Day event at Vermont Law School. Ò This is an opportunity for Vermonters to learn more about the UN climate talks and hear discussions about what actions can be taken in Vermont to help the U.S. meet its ambitious pledges,Ó he said. Karenna Gore, daughter of former vice-president Al Gore, and director of the Center for Earth Ethics at Union Theological Seminary in New York City, spoke Saturday night at Southern Vermont College. She was introduced by lieutenant governor candidate state Sen. David Zuckerman, P/D-Chittenden.
