By Bruce Parker Barbara Caitlyn

81-year-old woman found

VERGENNES Ñ On Apri 28, Vermont State Police New Haven received a report of missing Barbara Caitlyn, 81, 1104 Gadney Rd., in Addison. Police reported april 29 that she was later found. According to husband Richard Caitlyn, she took the family car and a pet to the Vergennes Post Office earlier in the day.

Family acquaintances observed Catlin traveling north on Vermont 22A south of Vergennes and were able to contact the family and Police.

Officer Adam O’Neil of the Vergennes Police Department located the vehicle and with assistance from VSP Sgt. Matt Daley, they were able to stop and identify Catlin inside the city limits of Vergennes. Vergennes Area Rescue evaluated Catlin before releasing her to her family.

Waitsfield bank robbed

WAITSFIELD Ñ The Vermont State Police continued to investigate the armed bank robbery which occurred April 28 morning around 11:49 hours at the Northfield Savings Bank located on Route 100 in Waitsfield. In a continued effort to identify a suspect, the Vermont State Police is asking the public to view video surveillance footage on its website in an attempt to identify the subject. Anyone with information is urged to call 802-229-9191.

Vermont Watchdog Report MONTPLELIER Ñ With its scenic paths for bicycle touring and mountain biking, Vermont is a cycling enthusiastÕ s dream.

But multiple fatalities in recent weeks have rocked bike communities, and are raising concerns about whether bikes and cars can safely share the road.

Last week, an expert cyclist from Hinesburg died in in a crash involving a Honda Civic traveling south on Vermont 116, close to Hinesburg Elementary School. The motorist, a local high school senior, also died.

The painful event follows two April 14 bike accidents in which a Middlebury cyclist died after being hit by a drunk driver in Weybridge. In a separate incident, a Shelburne woman was taken to the hospital after colliding with an automobile near the Shelburne Museum. Her injuries were nonlife-threatening.

While skilled cyclists can brave almost CONTINUED ON PAGE 5

VUHS teacher receives university award

VERGENNES Ñ Roberta Steponaitis of Vergennes motivates her students to achieve great success. Steponaitis is one of three recipients of this yearÕ s Clarkson University Inspirational High School Educator Awards.

The social studies and history teacher at Vergennes Union High School in Vergennes was nominated by former student Nathan North of Vergennes, a senior mechanical engineering major at Clarkson.

The award will be presented on May 8 during ClarksonÕ s commencement weekend activities.

Each year, Clarkson asks its seniors to nominate the secondary school educators who have significantly affected their lives and helped guide their higher education and career decisions. The award recognizes these educators for their lasting impact on their students and in their fields of education.

Early in the spring term, graduating seniors submit their reasons for choosing their nominees, how they influenced them and actual situations in which they showed themselves to be outstanding educators.

North said he nominated Steponaitis for this award because of her tireless drive to help students in her classes master their material. He said Steponaitis spent many hours after school on her own time in order to help North and other students excel

in their classes, get into college or simply listen if they needed someone to talk to. Ò She saw potential in me and wanted to help me see that as well,Ó North said. Ò After meeting her in my sophomore year of high school, she became my personal speech coach -- spending hours with me after school, showing me how to project my voice, deliver a speech without nervous tics and become comfortable speaking to crowd containing thousands of people.

This has given me a certain confidence that I never had before. After delivering a six page, 12-minute speech that I wrote based on the Constitution, from memory and without a podium, I felt as though I could do just about anything. That speech required months of presentation practices, memorization and critique. It taught me how to manage my time, gave me a new appreciation for patience and ultimately made me into what I believe is a better student.Ó North added that he would not have come to Clarkson if it werenÕ t for SteponaitisÕ guidance. He said Steponaitis encouraged him to seek financial aid so he would be able to attend the University.

“She knew about the financial aid opportunities and very strongly encouraged me to apply,Ó he said. Ò It is because of her that I continued my application process and ultimately ended up here.

Roberta Steponaitis Ò I want you to know that your efforts were and are greatly appreciated and that you have made a huge impact on me in my schooling career. I will continue to use what I have learned from you to aim high and give back or offer help wherever I can.

Thank you.Ó

Losing Mandalay: Kipling’s heartaches in Vt

By Lou Varricchio

By the old Moulmein Pagoda, lookinÕ lazy at the sea, ThereÕ s a Burma girl a-settinÕ , and I know she thinks oÕ me; For the wind is in the palm-trees, and the Temple-bells they say: Ò Come you back, you British soldier; come you back to Mandalay...Ó Ñ Rudyard KiplingÕ s Ò MandalayÓ MIDDLEBURY Ñ For those who have dreamed of romantic travel in the Far East and Africa, the name of author, poet Rudyard Kipling (1865-1936) conjures up the glory days of empire, adventurous thrills in exotic lands, and that rare gift of unparalleled storytelling.

Born in India to British teacher parents, Kipling is best known for his many published adventure yarnsÑ some having been immortalized in modern times as award-winning motion pictures, such as Ò KimÓ ,Ó The Jungle BookÓ , Ò Captains CourageousÓ , Ò Gunga DinÓ , Ò The Mark of the Beast,Ó and Ò The Man Who Would Be KingÓ (to name a few).

Twenty two years after his death, Kipling even made BillboardÕ s music hit parade with soaring, rebooted poetry lyrics sung by Frank Sinatra in Ó The Road to MandalayÓ in 1958 (see above).

What Kipling is rarely associated with isÑ Vermont.

Surprisingly, the Anglo worldÕ s greatest adventure writer and martial poet lived in the Green Mountain State between 1892 and 1896, mar-

ried to a beautiful Vermonter named Carrie Balestier, He loved it at first, but troubles there were to come. Ò NaulakhaÓ was the name Kipling gave the classic New England shingle-style house he and Carrie built at 707 Kipling Rd. in Dummerston.

In the rural house outside Brattleboro, Kipling found an initial peace where he penned many of his best literary works. In a way, KiplingÕ s Vermont home became his symbolic Ò MandalayÓ Ñ and just like that templed, Burma paradise of his celebrated 1892 poem of loveÕ s loss and longing, Ò NaulakhaÓ was his fondest day dream.

Now a National Historic Landmark, Kipling built his beloved home in 1893. It is the house where the author wrote Ò Captains CourageousÓ , Ò The Jungle BooksÓ , Ò A DayÕ s WorkÓ , and Ò The Seven SeasÓ , Ò KimÓ , Ò The Just So StoriesÓ and more.

Never having served in the military, Kipling was still a great admirer of all things martial, especially soldiers and sailors of the lower ranks. So, the authorÕ s Vermont house was named after Fort LahoreÕ s Naulakha Pavilion in his native India. Ò Ninety feet was the length of it and 30 the width, on a high foundation of solid mortared rocks which gave us an airy and a skunk-proof basement,Ó Kipling wrote of the construction of his Vermont estate. Ò The rest was wood, shingled, roof and sides, with dull green hand-split shingles, and the windows were lavish and wide... Those were opulent days, when timber was nothing regarded, and the best of cabinet-work could be had for little money.Ó According to Kipling, he and Carrie laid out the property to maximize privacy. The only approach to the house was via an iron gate to a narrow, tree-lined driveway.

Even as Kipling enjoyed the changing seasons and rare visits by friends, such as Sherlock HolmesÕ creator Arthur Conan Doyle, storm clouds were gathering.

coupleÕ s bundle of joy turned to sorrow a few years later when she died of pneumonia.

Next, anti-British feelings erupted during the 1890s when relations flared between the U.S. and Britain over a flap in South America (now lost to all but the history books). It seems many Brattleboro residents didnÕ t like the famous Britisher among them, especially because his work was perceived as celebrating empire building.

Then, to make matters worse, CarrieÕ s alcoholic brother, Beatty Balestier, hounded the couple and ultimately forced them to flee to England.

In 1896, Beatty confronted his famous brother-in-law on the road near Ò NaulakhaÓ . He accused the author of telling the press that he had been bailed-out financially.

According to the New England Historical Society, Ò Beatty told Kipling to Ô retract those Goddamned lies youÕ ve been telling about me.Õ He told him he had a week to apologize or heÕ d Ô punch the Goddamned soul out of himÕ ... Kipling went to his lawyer and had Beatty arrested and charged with assault three days later.Ó A very public court hearing in Brattleboro between Kipling and Beatty drew news reporters from as far away as Philadelphia.

At the time of the hearing, the now defunct Vermont Phoenix newspaper reported that, Ò Almost to a man, the sympathy of the townsfolk is with Ô Beatty,Õ as everybody calls him. Kipling, by his eccentric demeanor and his arrogant manner toward the residents of the town, has alienated many The Once and Future Vermonter: Rudyard Kipling. friends.Ó Image: Library of Congress

No doubt bitter and embarrassed, the Kiplings skipped out on the remainder of the hearing; the couple quietly packed their belongs and returned to England in July 1896.

And so it happened that the man who created Ò KimÓ and Ò The Jungle BooksÓ was never to return to Vermont. Leaving Ò NaulakhaÓ abruptly deeply affected the author for the rest of his life.

Near the end of his years, Kipling wrote to a friend about his deepest regrets in lifeÑ Ò There are only two places in the world where I want to live, Bombay and Brattleboro. And I canÕ t live at either.Ó Note: You can read an expanded version of this story in the upcoming summer issue of the EagleÕ s sister publication, North Country Living magazine.

Policing for profit

W

e hear lots of disturbing things about the state of policing across the USA, ranging from excessive militarization and poor minority community relations to trigger happy, quick-to-arrest officers and so-called thug cops—such as the NYPD’s convicted felonsin-uniform. Now comes the under-reported news about the widespread abuse of civil asset forfeiture laws by law enforcement agencies around the nation.

In a recent online news report by writer Michael Greisbok of Freedom Works, we learn that in nearly half of the American states, law enforcement agencies are hoarding proceeds gained through such sinister, un-American forfeiture laws.

In total, 39 states protect law enforcement agencies so that they can keep over 50 percent of all proceeds collected from civil asset forfeiture.

The Institute for Justice (IFJ), with active offices in five states, describes itself as “a merry band of libertarian litigators.Ó This vigilant organization rates such arcane things as which of the 50 states have the worst (most heavy handed) civil forfeiture laws.

Thankfully, the IFJ gives VermontÕ s justice system and law enforcement agencies a very good grade; the Green Mountain State is far more enlightened, compared to our three surrounding draconian states, when it comes to seizing the assets of its citizens. But of all the New England states, Maine received the best score (least heavy handed) in this area.

However, when it comes to the abuse of forfeiture laws, big states such as Florida, New York and Massachusetts fare the worst. According to IFJ, expansive use of civil forfeiture in Florida has led to some outrageous reports of personal gain. Ò In 2003,Ó according to the IFJ report on the Sunshine State, Ò it was reported that top Tampa Bay police brass were keeping seized cars for their own use. The seized fleet consisted of some 42 cars, including a Lincoln Navigator, a Ford Expedition, and, Police Chief Bennie HolderÕ s favorite, a $38,000 Chevy Tahoe.Ó We wonder what AmericaÕ s Founding Fathers would have said about such laws worthy of a banana-republic police state?

In bordering Massachusetts, law enforcement gets to keep 100 percent of all forfeited property.

Again, the IFJ states that, “The receipts are split: half to the prosecutor’s office and half to the local or state police. Massachusetts is required to collect forfeiture data, but in response to requests, the state provided data only for 2000 to 2003.Ó Limited column space prevents us from exposing just how corrupt police agencies have become in this greedy grab of assets of our fellow citizens. Ò Law enforcementÕ s main duties are to keep the public safe and protect our persons and property,Ó writes Freddomm WorksÕ Greisbok. Ò In many states, civil asset forfeiture creates a perverse incentive which can change the priorities that law enforcement pursues.Ó According to Greisbok, more than 30 states have law enforcement agencies which keep all of the proceeds gained through civil asset forfeiture. Ò These laws incentivize law enforcement to go after cash because any cash seized will increase their bottom line,Ó Greisbok writes. Ò This incentive has especially shown itself in how law enforcement polices our highways. Today, it is not uncommon for one of the first questions an officer asks to be whether the driver is carrying any large amounts of cash... Law enforcement should be in the business of protecting individuals, not raising funds.Ó The Eagle Cartoon coutesy of Freedom Works.

Complete Streets From page 1

any road, most of Vermont’s famous trails don’t involve traffic from motor vehicles. From the Island Line Rail Trail to the D & H Rail Trail, the state hosts scenic bike paths for adventurers of all ages and skill levels.

But an EPA-backed Ò complete streetsÓ initiative advancing in Burlington and other municipalities aims to make bicycles, pedestrians and motor vehicles live together in the same spaces.

The initiative raises public safety concerns at a time when Vermonters are coping with three tragic accidents in less than three weeks Ñ two of them fatal, and neither of them connected to a current complete-streets initiative.

According to the complete streets vision for Burlington drafted at a June 2012 EPA-sponsored event, city streets must be reconfigured into “complete streets corridors” that allow safe, inviting travel for motorists, pedestrians and bicyclists.

That vision took a step toward reality in October when Burlington City Council voted unanimously to reconfigure North Avenue, a busy transportation artery connecting the New North End to downtown. Like the reconfigured Williston Road in South Burlington (see photo), changes to North Avenue will transform the street from a four-lane transportation corridor to a two-lane road with bike lanes on each side, along with a center turn lane.

While a backlash from residents could sink the 2016 pilot street in Burlington, public safety worries are a separate issue that could threaten the complete streets vision for municipalities across Vermont.

According to the commissioner of public works for Rutland City, Jeff Wennberg, they already have.

In 2014, a three-member Board of Highway Commissioners in Rutland pulled the plug on a share-the-road test pilot on Woodstock Avenue. The busy four-lane road Ñ part of the Route 4 highway that runs east-west through Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine Ñ was slated to become two lanes to make room for bikes and pedestrians in the city.

Wennberg said public officials began the 45-day pilot with general optimism. However, they grew increasingly worried the complete streets design would lead to cyclist and pedestrian fatalities Ñ something not currently an issue for Woodstock Avenue, despite its high number of fender-benders and side-swipes. Ò There was some really scary stuff going on. É Not everybody on foot used it properly. I personally witnessed on two occasions people pushing shopping carts and baby carriages, not down the sidewalk É but in the bike lane in the wrong direction, and it terrified me to see that,” Wennberg told Vermont Watchdog.

Pedestrians were not the only ones mingling dangerously close to traffic. Bicyclists also exhibited a false sense of safety that led to high-risk behavior. Ò Over half the cyclists I observed were riding in the wrong direction, even though it was painted right on the stupid shoulder with an arrow pointing the other way. It didnÕ t stop them. They insisted on driving toward the oncoming traffic,” Wennberg said.

“In a situation like this, with heavy traffic, lots of trucks … and curb cuts every 20 feet, itÕ s extremely dangerous.Ó Advocates for complete streets Ñ Regional Planning Commissions, AARP, Local Motion and other road-diet groups Ñ say the road configurations slow traffic and reduce vehicle crashes overall, which Wennberg confirmed.

But he said such benefits were swallowed up by the more severe threat of fatalities posed by the designs. Such hazards were also noted by highway civil engineers who consulted with the city. Ò (They said) by putting in bicyclists and people who are abusing the bike lane by using it for foot traffic and baby carriages … you are creating a conflict between vehicles and people, whether it be people on bicycles or people on foot. And eventually those conflicts are going to result in a fatality,” Wennberg said.

That possibility was too much for Wennberg and a fellow member of the Board of Highway Commissioners. The two commissioners voted 2-to-1 against Rutland City Mayor Christopher Louras, thus restoring the original four-lane configuration to Woodstock Avenue.

The decision rankled share-the-road advocates and continues to have political fallout for other street projects in Rutland. Wennberg defended his decision, saying he would have felt personally responsible for bike and pedestrian deaths. Ò You donÕ t have fatalities on this road. You have a lot of fender benders. And the question you need to ask before you vote on this thing is, are you comfortable trading a lot of fender benders for a few fatalities, because thatÕ s whatÕ s going to happen,Ó Wennberg said.

If Woodstock AvenueÕ s pilot problems are not unique, the North Avenue pilot in Burlington could be just as controversial.

Watchdog reached out to Chapin Spencer, director of BurlingtonÕ s Department of Public Works, to get his views of recent events. However, the director and former Local Motion executive director declined to speak representing the city, saying only, Ò The two recent fatal car/bike tragedies have saddened me to the core.Ó To transportation officials who must make sober safety judgments amid the intense politicking and divided communities that surround complete streets initiatives, Wennberg offered advance warning. Ò It was insanely painful from a public relations standpoint.

People were off-the-wall emotional over this thing, and it still boggles my mind as to why,Ó he said. Ò The opponents were treating it like a threat to civilization as we know it, and the advocates were treating it like anyone who opposes this wants to see children massacred. There absolutely was no common ground. It was crazy. IÕ ve never seen anything quite like it.Ó Contact Bruce Parker at bparker@watchdog.org.

Remembering Val Martel

By Gail Callahan

SHELBURNE Ñ Val Martel, the driving force behind the Shelburne Food Shelf, died recently. The 77-year-old Martel, a Maine native, died at The Respite House in Williston after a lengthy illness.

MartelÕ s familiar face had been a Shelburne staple for decades.

She and her husband ran a cleaning business, and Martel worked in town, visible as a cashier at the Shelburne Supermarket. While MartelÕ s strong work ethic remained strong, her dedication to feeding and helping those most in need in Shelburne took precedence in her life.

Martel was the driving force behind the townÕ s Angel Fund, a collection of money used for local families that would pay for a childÕ s participation in activities, such as a summer camp or music instrument rental.

During the Shelburne Select BoardÕ s March 31 meeting, Town Clerk Colleen Haag praised Martel for her dedication and compassion to those in need. The Town Office complex was home to the Food Shelf and residents could drop-off contributions to an office for use by the agency. Also, former Shelburne Super Market employee Marc Lewis, who took care of Martel during her last illness, requested that the Food Shelf be named in honor of Martel. Lewis and Martel once worked elbow-to elbow at the Shelburne Supermarket. The board, however, stopped short of approving LewisÕ s request, noting it would have to warn the item before any action could take place.

Martel wasnÕ t shy about notifying the community when a need arose. Three years ago, she accepted a check from KinneyÕ s for the Food Shelf when the pharmacy giant opened its 20th retail organization on U.S. 7 and Executive Drive in Shelburne.

Martel, known for her elaborate blonde hair-do and tall, imposing figure, was a widow, mother and grandmother.

A woman of faith, her memorial service was held at the Shelburne United Methodist Church last month.

Shelburne Town Manager Joe Colangelo praised Martel for her dedication and devotion to those who are voiceless in society.

He also lamented her loss, noting Ò there isnÕ t another Val in the

AddisonC ounty Homeward Bound pets

H

i, IÕ m Boo. IÕ m a friendly, affectionate guy who is 17 years old!

I really donÕ t look or act it though; I have a very young spirit.

I arrived at Homeward Bound with my long time housemate, Roxy. We were surrendered by our owners as a family member had unfortunately become very allergic to us.

Boo Between myself and Roxy, I am the outgoing one. Like I said, I am very affectionate and love attention! I will come up to you and rub against your legs and stretch up to you to get your attention.

In my previous home, I was an indoor/outdoor cat, so wouldnÕ t mind having access to outdoors again. Although I could probably transition to being indoors only if need be.

I also get along with absolutely everyone! I have lived with other cats, dogs and children and love them all. I am also known to like to play and chase some toys every now and then. Age wonÕ t stop me from having fun.

If youÔ re looking for a fun, social, lovable guy Ð a real family cat, I could be the guy for you.

ABIGAIL 2 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Gray Tabby.

I am Abigail and I arrived at RCHS as a stray back in January.

www.addision-eagle.com I have had a bit of a journey so far for sure. When I arrived I was pregnant and went into foster care for a while. Now I am finally ready to shine and find my new home where I can be the cat that I want to be.

The staff can tell that I have a tender heart but I have trust issues and need time to adapt to new places and people.

SIMONA 5 year old. Spayed Female.

Labrador Retriever mix.

If you have a squeaky toy IÕ ll be your best friend. I really enjoy playing with them and I love to catch them in mid air. IÕ ll Sit nicely so you can toss them again for me. IÕ m a very sweet dog and IÕ m easy to have around. It takes me a little while to get used to new people but once I am comfortable around you IÕ m a real love bug. I enjoy going for walks so I hope my new family will take me for hikes and other outdoor activities.

MADELYN 1 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Brown Tiger with White.

Hello there my name is Madelyn and I arrived here on March 6

The Vermont Eagle • May 9, 2015 | 15 a stray and I have the cutest face and nice markings too. I am a little shy as I have been through a lot but IÕ m grateful to be here at the RCHS awaiting for my forever home. Once I feel safe I will have a lot to offer to my new family besides my cuteness. A window seat will be just fine for me! I hope to meet you soon.

BRISCA 6 month old. Neutered Male.

Domestic Long Hair Orange and White.

My name is Brisca and I arrived here on April 2 after the people who found me months ago as a stray decided to bring me to RCHS for a chance to find a new home where I can be a great feline friend to someone. I may do well with one other animal in a quiet environment but I think too many pets will be too much for me. I am still a kitten and am still playful but am growing up fast.
