USAF Band SNAPSHOT WITH A CANDIDATE to visit Vergennes

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

Jeffrey Castonguay

Winooski man vanished near Route 7 RUTLAND — On June 2, Vermont State Police reported that Jeffrey Castonguay, 58, of Winooski, was riding on a white scooter with another motorcyclist on Route 140 in Wallingford. The motorcyclist turned onto Route 7, but Castonguay —on the scooter—stayed straight and continued travelling east on Route 140.

The motorcyclist tried to locate Castonguay, but was not able to.

State Police troopers patrolled numerous nearby roads and tried to call Castonguay, but no contact was made.

Castonguay has numerous health issues and there is concern for his safety, according to the VSP. At this time, police said that it is unknown what the make/model of the scooter is, or if it is registered.

If anyone has information on the location of Castonguay, or notices a white scooter they are asked to call VSP Rutland at 802-773-9101.

VERGENNES — The United States Air Force brings music to my ears.

For some, this “music” may be the sound of America’s ambassadors-in-blue, the USAF Thunderbirds, or, the takeoff roar of Vermont Air Guard jets at the Burlington International Airport.

While all that’s exciting to both see and hear, for me it’s the Air Force’s tradition of band and orchestra music, including a roster of hundreds of well known (and not so well known) civilian and military tunes—from Glenn Miller to Rogers and Hammerstein.

As I recall, the last visit of an Air Force band to our region was a concert at Castleton University a few years ago. Now Air Force band fans in Vermont are in for a rare treat, again, this year.

Rutland facing backlash over refugee settlement More than one-third of resettled refugees test TB positive statewide

By Bruce Parker Vermont Watchdog Report

One hundred refugees may be placed in Rutland, where Mayor Chris Louras is facing a backlash from residents for hiding the city’s resettlement plans from the public. Pictured: A community tuberculosis treatment supporter overseas supervises a patient taking her daily medication.

MONTPELIER — Data from the Vermont Department of Health show that more than one-third of refugees resettled in Vermont test positive for tuberculosis.

Since 2013, about 900 refugees admitted to the Green Mountain State have been tested for tuberculosis, a potentially fatal infectious disease affecting the lungs. Of that number, 318 refugees, or 35.4 percent, tested positive.

Watchdog.org obtained the health data following reporting

by Stateline that the disease may be making a comeback in the United States.

ROSCO 3 Year Old. Neutered Male. Pit Bull.

I’m a super friendly and outgoing fella who enjoys being with people. I’m smart, too, and I already know Sit, Shake and Down.

I hope my new owner will teach me more commands and maybe some tricks, too.

I’m very playful and I’m especially fond of squeaky toys. If you sit down I’ll bring my toy right over to you so you can toss it for me. If you like to toss treats, I’m great at catching them in mid air.

I’m looking forward to lots of walks, hikes and other outdoor adventures with my new family.

DYSON 1 Year Old. Neutered Male. Terrier Mix. I’m as cute as can be. I’m a spunky fella who loves being with people. I can’t wait to be spoiled and get lots of love and attention from my new family. I enjoy going for walks and have nice leash manners so I hope

Gray with White. 6 lbs.

You may think I am a calico feline by my name Cali, however, I am a very prominent shade of gray with some brilliant white and am still as endearing as can be. I am not quite an adult yet but I am growing up fast and cannot wait to meet you. I have been quite feisty during my stay here at RCHS, the staff feels that a barn placement would be best for me. Once I get use to the layout safely, I think I could be a fun-loving barn cat.

CNN’s great 1670 iPhone mystery There is nothing wrong with your television set. Do not attempt to adjust the picture. We are controlling transmission...

W

ith America going to hell in a handbasket, you can always rely on one of our most turned-to national television news outlets to provide us with vital, breaking news—such as the recent CNN report of Apple CEO Tim Cooke spying an iPhone in a 346-yearold Dutch master’s painting.

Cooke was on an European junket when CNN reported that he had just finished a tour of Amsterdam’s famous Rijks Art Museum. Apparently, the Apple chief found something there of profound historic import—and for a day it made the news feeds.

The morning after the museum visit, in a televised gathering with international business writers, Cooke was asked by a reporter (in what has all the earmarks of a sly setup) about the invention of the iPhone.

“You know, I thought I knew until last night.

Last night, Neelie took me over to look at some Rembrandt and in one of the paintings I was so shocked. There was an iPhone in one of the paintings,” the CEO told the reporter.

The mysterious art work Cooke referred to was a painting by Pieter de Hooch created in 1670.

The Apple CEO must have been facetious about his firm’s invention (the iPhone) appearing in the circa 1670 painting; however, it was delivered deadpan and we never did hear the “rest of the story”, as the late Paul Harvey used to say.

So what about this overlooked 17th-century Dutch masterwork?

Perhaps the spirit of the French occultist Nostradamus was in the studio to guide the brushstrokes of De Hooch?

Nah—how about a little dab of Occam’s Razor, the skeptic’s pocket tool which works 99.9 percent of the time in solving mysteries. So, if taken as a real story about a spooky anachronism, is it really an iPhone or something far less sexy in the De Hooch painting?

According to TruNews website, this weird coincidence was not the first time “modern technology” appears in pre-modern history.

“In 1901 an artifact dubbed the Antikythera mechanism was recovered from a shipwreck off of (the island of) Antikythera (in Greece). When the device was analyzed with X-ray technology by

Scientist Derek de Solla Price in 1974, it was discovered that the mechanism was an ancient analog computer, produced likely between 150-250 B.C.... Another example from history of advanced technology being found in the ancient world is the Baghdad Battery... dated between 220-320 B.C.” Sure, most of us know that ancient civilized peoples were just as intelligent as we moderns. Still, we don’t have to swoon over fantastic TV reports about “lost advanced technologies” such as seer Edgar Cayce’s channeled Atlantean nonsense of the 1940s.

Consider Egypt’s pyramids, Rome’s Pantheon, and Anatolia’s vanished towers of Illium; even the ancient Minoans, whose destruction gave rise to the myth of Atlantis, had cushy creature comforts at home—well, sort of.

On the island of Crete, you hear that wealthy Minoans had “flush toilets” and central air conditioning at home around 1500 B.C. Sure it sounds fantastic on the face of it, but Minoan A.C. was nothing more than partitioning a room with wooden shutters that were used to control the inside air flow.

And those ancient “flush toilets” often described?

Running water systems that were certainly far less advanced than our modern plumbing.

Nor would I proclaim the Bagdad Battery, a clay jar that may have (may have) been a primitive electroplating device, and the Antikythera mechanism (a decidedly less than high-tech clocklike navigation device) “advanced technology”.

No matter, the reporters writing about Tim Cooke’s 2016 encounter with a 1670 smartphone had some fun, but buried the story’s lead.

And what was the lead? The title of the painting—“Man Hands a Letter to a Woman in a Hall”, so named by the artist himself.

De Hooch’s artwork portrays a seated woman and a man holding what appears to be a modern smartphone. Look closer and you’ll see it’s nothing more than a folded, handwritten paper letter. Sorry to disappoint. Occam’s Razor rules out all other explanations.

“I always thought I knew when the iPhone was invented, but now I’m not so sure anymore,” Cooke said during his televised meeting. Eh? The popular communications gadget was, in fact, introduced in 2007.

We now return control of your television set to you.

Publisher’s Column

We’ll get through this

I

s America really all that angry or are we just feeling frustrated over hearing lots of talk and seeing very little ac-

tion?

We know whichever side may be speaking, they will twist the statistics to justify their points, providing ammo for either side to believe what they choose to believe, but I think more than anything America is frustrated over too many promises and not nearly enough action, especially where it counts.

Dan Alexander Angry voices and political candidate blusThoughts from ter seems to have captivated our fighting Behind the Pressline spirit. Look around our country today or even our local communities; you’ll see far more brotherly love and good works than riots in the streets and destruction over limited necessities.

Oh sure, we all long for positive change and prosperity. We would all like to quit complaining about the state of so very many things but we always need to take a step back and look at our own situation.

Is our glass half full, half empty or somewhere in between?

It’s easy to get caught up in the foul language and get your blood boiling when we are bombarded with destructive images and out of character activities by a very few who are trying to make a statement, but when calmer heads prevail far too many are reacting to nothing more than bluster and not real action.

In many ways we’ve been asleep at the voting booth for too many years. The majority of eligible voters have failed to engage in the system by casting a vote, a trend that has continued to grow with each passing election.

So it seems triggering a stronger reaction will require a far greater amount of fightin’ words to get us off the couch and make us mad enough to engage the forces that want to change your version of America.

In 2008 just the promise of hope and change was enough to get Senator Obama elected. Sadly, hope and change became more of the same and keep on hoping.

Regardless of who is elected, once the elections are over the wheels of bureaucratic government will move at a slow pace.

Every candidate running for president always says: “On the first day in office I will….” Well just remember, that first day is chocked full of ceremonial things, but little of it has anything to do with changing our lives.

The death of boxer Muhammad Ali this past week provided an interesting perspective as many newscasts and documentaries featured his life and the changing attitude America had toward the brash young fighter, when he first came to prominence, until his death and how his acceptance was altered over time.

The experiment that we call the United States of America has always been a nation of change, adjusting and reacting to the forces applied, both internally and externally. What doesn’t change is our ability to adapt and meld the new into the old, like it or not, we are a resilient people.

Despite our many mistakes we’ve been able to take corrective measures and keep the vision of America alive for all who continue to seek her promise of opportunity and freedom. This election is not going to change that in the slightest.

Memorial Day remembered

By Lou Varricchio lou@addisoneagle.com

MIDDLEBURY — Memorial Day weekend is the traditional kick-off to the summer season. It is also the weekend to honor America’s fallen in war and peace. Memorial Day 2016 was no exception to the tradition.

With weather condition more typical of mid July than the end of May, residents of Addison and Rutland counties enjoyed a long, hot weekend which included backyard barbecues, picnic and parades, as well as home garden clean up and planting activities. However, state officials warned against entering some local lakes, ponds and streams due to still-cold water temperatures.

In Vergennes, American Legion Post 14 hosted the Little City’s annual Memorial Day parade which started at 11 a.m. on May, 30. Continuing the city’s long-held tradition, parade attendance along the 1.5-mile route was free.

The 2016 theme in Vergennes was “Honor and Remember”.

This parade is considered Vermont’s largest Memorial Day event; it honored all men and women who have served our country during times of war and peace, with special focus on those who have lost their lives in the struggle for freedom around the world.

The parade marched through city streets and ended at the Vergennes City Park and included a two-mile-long parade of U.S. veterans, Boy Scouts, Girls Scouts, locally built floats, classic and collectible cars, various horses with riders, fire trucks and police vehicles, the Burlington Cellarsavers, plus 12 marching bands. A mini parade of children riding a variety of bicycles from classics to mountain bikes was also part of the event.

In Middlebury, Memorial Day observances began early on the weekend, on May 28, with the Middlebury Lions Club members placing flags on the graves of veterans buried in several local cemeteries.

The Middlebury Lions Club honored local fallen military heroes in a ceremony at noon at the Middlebury Cemetery. “It included an honor guard and rifle salute from the Veterans of Foreign Wars,” according to the Lions Club. “Local Boy Scouts raised the flag at the start of the ceremony and lowered it as taps were played. Local clergy offered prayers of invocation and benedic-

tion. Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address was read. Veterans were welcomed to attend a later reception. “ American Legion Post 27’s request of excluding political banners and placards at the Middlebury parade was respected.

This year’s downtown parade theme was “Honoring Our Heroes”, not unlike the theme in Vergennes.

In Bristol, the Bristol American Legion played host to the town’s annualMemorial Day Parade.

Included were participants of local government as well as the Bristol Fire and Police Departments and various youth and civic organizations.

In Brandon, the parade began at 10 a.m. at the Brandon Post Office and ended a short distance away at the town green. Neshobe Elementary School students placed flowers at the base of the historic Civil War monument across from the Brandon Inn. In Rutland, Rutland American Legion Post 310 coordinated a special Memorial Day event which involved local Boy Scouts at the Community Hall on Main Street.

Participants visited New Boston Cemetery, West Rutland Cemetery, Brooks Square, Memorial Field, and the Veterans Memorial to honor Rutland County service men and women.

Pictured above: Members of Vermont’s volunteer and professional firefighting departments participated in 2016 Memorial Day parades held around the state. Locally, Memorial Day observances and parades were held in several communities including Brandon, Bristol, Middlebury, Rutland and Vergennes.

Divestment woes

To the Editor: The Divestment Facts Campaign recently posted on its website a study by Arizona State University Prof. Hendrik Bessembinder, entitled “Frictional Costs of Divestment,” detailing the deep, unavoidable financial costs of institutional divestment from fossil fuels.

In his opening statement, Prof. Bessembinder acknowledges the key role of Bill McKibben of Ripton in the divestment movement: “Advocacy in support of fossil fuel divestment came to public prominence with environmental activist Bill McKibben’s 2012 article in Rolling Stone, and has grown modestly since then. McKibben’s campaign recently announced that more than 500 institutions, representing $3.4 trillion in total assets under management, have committed to some form of divestment.”

At the Vermont Pension Investment Committee subcommittee on divestment meeting May 27, Treasurer Beth Pearce announced that her office will issue an RFP for a consultant study to determine how (and whether) fossil fuel stock divestment of the state’s $4 billion pension fund could be implemented without causing financial harm to pensioners. There is as yet no fixed date for the completion of this study.

More than just Mercury

To the Editor: John Pratt’s lovely picture (and the planet) Mercury transiting the face of the Sun shows more than just a wonderful image helping us appreciate the order of planets and our place in the Solar System; the picture shows the face of the sun with no sun spots.

Here’s what Princeton University’s Freeman Dyson (From Wikipedia: Freeman John Dyson FRS is an English-born American theoretical physicist and mathematician, professor emeritus at the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, NJ.) wrote a few days ago about his viewing of Mercury’s transit across the Sun: “This morning I got out my little toy telescope and watched Mercury transiting the Sun. The striking fact was not the little black image of Mercury but the total absence of sunspots. I have seen many transits before this one, but never without sunspots. It seems the sun has gone to sleep as it did in the Maunder Minimum in the seventeenth century. In the seventeenth century we had the Little Ice Age and now we have the pause in global warming.

Future of Northlands

To the Editor: You may have learned that the U.S. Department of Labor has decided to open a new competition for the contract to operate the Northlands Job Corps Center in Vergennes.

I am writing to let you know that CHP International (CHP), in partnership with Education and Training Resources (ETR), intends to compete vigorously to remain the operator at Northlands.

We and our Northlands staff have made very significant improvements in the past 30 months: vastly improved relations with the community of Vergennes; steady improvement in the results of the twice-yearly student satisfaction survey; and steady improvement in the caliber of the managers and staff working at the center.

We believe that these and other improvements create the necessary conditions for improvement in some of the outcome measures on which Northlands lags behind expectations.

We believe, too, that students at Northlands will be much better off if CHP and ETR are permitted to continue the work we have begun than if Northlands is disrupted by another transition so soon after the last one in December 2013.

The competition will bring our competitors to Vergennes, and a “walk-through” of the center has been scheduled for June 9. Some of the attendees may arrive days earlier or remain for days afterward to conduct on-the-ground research in preparation for developing their proposals. Others may show up a week or so later. These people may contact you, looking for potential linkages that might be useful to them, for example, with schools, businesses and community organizations. Of course, you will make your own decisions about whom you speak with and what you say.

CHP’s purpose in writing this is primarily in the interest of continued strong communication between Northlands, CHP International and the residents of Vergennes, Addison County, and the State of Vermont.

We hope we have earned your support. Thank you.

Vt. Campaign 2016: GOP’s Scott vs. Lisman

By Lou Varricchio lou@addisoneagle.com

NEW HAVEN — One thing is becoming clear in the midst of the 2016 Vermont Republican race for governor, GOP candidates Lt. Gov. Phil Scott and Bruce Lisman are finally differentiating themselves enough for voters to better make a choice.

In the case of Scott, many GOP voters like the affable lieutenant governor for his downto-earth Vermonter looks, attitudes, and stock-car racing skills, but others—that is, more of the base Republican voters—have become increasingly turned off by Scott’s fencesitting refusal to endorse the party’s presumptive nominee for president, Donald Trump.

According to a recent Vermont Business Magazine report, “Scott received the endorsements of all Vermont Republican legislators with the except State Reps. Donald Turner, Doug Gage, Mary Morrissey, Job Tate, and Paul Dame...”

On the flip side of the GOP gubernatorial coin, Lisman appears to be far more blunt and “all-business” compared to Scott; he has a more detailed, serious approach to addressing the state’s energy, tax, financial and health care crises—all without carrying the Shumlin administration’s baggage that Scott bears.

Lisman is clearly not a pussyfooter; his campaign capitalizes on the anti-establishment mood of many Vermont voters.

“We are running a positive issues-based campaign and we will continue to raise important matters that Vermonters are very concerned about, while also drawing clear contrasts with our opponent, Phil Scott,” said Shawn Shouldice, Lisman’s campaign manager. “Lt. Gov. Scott is a 15-year political insider who has not only stood side-by-side with Gov. Shumlin, but has in some cases embraced Gov. Shumlin’s policies. Why is it that still today Lt. Gov. Scott continues to serve in the Governor’s cabinet? And why has he only recently begun to criticize Peter Shumlin’s failed policies.”

Last week, Lisman urged Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) to sign S. 230, a measure that would provide communities with greater influence over the siting of renewable energy projects.

“While I continue to strongly believe that Vermont should establish a two-year moratorium on industrial scale wind and solar projects, S. 230 is a small step in the right direction. We need to improve the process for approving and siting large renewable energy installations. Local communities must have meaningful input into the process.. The siting legislation takes us in that direction and I urge

Phil Scott: “I believe we need to balance our environmental leadership with the economic priorities we have for Vermont. ”

the governor to sign it,” said Lisman. “I also call on Lt. Gov. Phil Scott (R) to support S. 230 as well as a two-year moratorium on industrial scale solar and wind projects. We cannot continue to ignore the negative impacts on our environment and our neighbors that many of these projects are having.”

Why hasn’t Scott supported S.230 and a moratorium?

Scott is being seen by many core Republicans as reluctant to take on what many Democrat and Progressive Vermont voters have been passionate about—transforming the state into a large-scale solar- and wind-farm experiment. However, Scott has expressed negative views about the proposed carbon tax, an issue which is likely to reemerge in the capitol after the 2016 election.

“Vermont is already setting a national example for green building practices, energy conservation, renewable energy and environmental stewardship,” Scott said last year. “I believe we need to balance our environmental leadership with the economic priorities we have for Vermont. Since the carbon tax has been proposed, I’ve heard from many Vermonters who strongly oppose higher cost gasoline and home heating fuels, and understand how this proposal would increase the cost of living across the board. It is clear to me that the vast majority of Vermonters want the Legislature to spend its time looking for ways to grow the economy and save working Vermonters money. Discussion of a new tax that could add as much as 88-cents to a gallon of gasoline is not a way to grow the economy or save money— therefore I oppose this tax. To make Vermont

more affordable for families and businesses we must focus on the fundamentals and get the state’s fiscal house in order without new taxes.”

Lisman’s temporary moratorium on industrial-scale solar and wind projects, is a plan which makes New Haven Select Board Doug Tolles—and a growing number of others like him around the state—pleased.

“There’s an economic hocus pocus underway,” Tolles told the Eagle, regarding the Shumlin administration’s plan to foist costly renewables on state residents. “It’s called RECs, Renewable Energy Credits. These things have a market value (like so-called carbon credits).

These things are traded, and there’s economic value to them. So, some polluter in California can purchase these things and pollute more there because they are polluting less here.

That’s part of it; another part of it is the ‘green’ movement where companies want to certify that they are renewable, so they use x amount of electricity in their headquarters in—say— Seattle, Wash., and then they can claim they

are offsetting it by generating electricity somewhere else. It’s hocus pocus and we can’t connect the dots. We’ve tried to chase a couple of them but you end up in some funny spots. We found a Utah Company building a solar project in Vermont. Why Vermont? Utah has plenty of sunshine. But New Haven has been targeted and I’m calling it a ‘dumping ground’...”

Lisman’s public statements indicate that he clearly feels the large-scale solar- and windfarm growing pains of towns like New Haven.

“We need to improve the process for approving and siting large renewable energy installations,” he said. “Local communities must have meaningful input into the process. We cannot continue to ignore the negative impacts on our environment and our neighbors. And in many parts of the state, we have reached capacity in terms of the ability to economically integrate additional renewable generation capacity into our grid. Let’s slow down and make sure we put in place a more deliberate and balanced permitting process for industrial scale renewables, and ensure that the electric infrastructure can support these additions.”

In addition to providing voters with many details about fixing the state’s moribund economy, Lisman and Scott support the preservation of Vermont’s existing firearms freedoms.

In 2010, Scott received an “A” grade from the National Rifle Association, indicating he has a pro-gun rights voting record.

The NRA’s award of its “A” grade to Scott means he is—according to the organization’s own criteria—“solidly pro-gun candidate including voting record.”

Lisman is a strong advocate of Vermont gun rights, too.

“I will protect the Vermont Sportsmen’s Bill of Rights which provides uniform statewide regulation of firearm ownership, transfer and transportation and I will protect infringements of Article 16 of Vermont’s Constitution, the rights of Vermonter’s to bear arms,” Lisman said.

Accident on West Hill Road KILLINGTON — On May 29, at approximately 10:51 a.m., Vermont State Police were dispatched to a single vehicle crash on West Hill Road in Killington.

Hazel L. Guetti, 28, of Rutland, was transported by Regional Ambulance Service to Rutland Regional Medical Center.

VSP troopers met with Guetti at the hospital after clearing the scene. Guetti advised troopers that she was headed north on West Hill Road when a small animal ran out in front of her vehicle.

Guetti claimed that she swerved to avoid the animal, and her vehicle traveled off the roadway into the ditch. The vehicle proceeded to roll before coming to an uncontrolled rest.

Hop to It Towing, Regional Ambulance Service and Killington Fire department assisted the VSP troopers on the scene.

For over a decade we have been following the goal of the VTNEA and their allies in Montpelier to expand the public school system by two years to include three and four-yearolds. The next steps in this very expensive long-term play are underway right now.

First, a brief history of how we got to where we are today: In 2006, the legislature passed Act 62, which made “Universal Pre-K” programs for three and four-year-olds eligible to draw down education fund dollars. This was sold as a voluntary program for school districts, and public schools were encourage to partner with “qualified” private childcare businesses — “if convenient” — to provide 10 hours of “quality” childcare per week.

In 2013, the legislature reneged on the voluntary arrangement and mandated that all school district provide access to those 10 hours of pre-k whether they wanted to or not (Act 166). And, by this time, more public schools were finding fewer “qualified” private partnerships and were, for convenience sake, moving more programs into their own buildings.

A trend continues.

In 2014 Vermont got a $33 million federal grant (Hooray, free money) to support full day, 40 hour per week, pre-k programs for four-year-olds.

An online news article notes that one such program “includes meals, transportation and access to art, music, gym and library.”

Sounds like whole other grade of school, doesn’t it? The grant pays for everything except the 10 hours per week Vermonters are mandated to cover under our own law.

But here’s the catch: The federal money goes away after four years. So, Vermont property taxpayers, get out your wallets.

The $33 million grant (average $8.25 million per year) only covers pilot programs in eight supervisory unions and a half a dozen or so individual school districts. That’s about $1 million per supervisory union per year. There are currently 62 supervisory unions in Vermont. Do the math.

Technically, the way Vermonters would take over responsibility for this cost would be to increase the Average Daily Membership weight of pre-K students from .46 to 1.0 on the education fund—a more that doubling overnight.

Statewide property taxpayers would be on the hook for a very big bill. And then, of course, you can double that price again when they inevitably move onto the next phase of the plan, adding three-year-olds into the mix.

The propaganda campaign trashing the hundreds of small, independent childcare providers, mostly run by women, who currently serve tens of thousands of Vermont families has already begun. Concurrently, there has been a steady stream of op-eds, newspaper articles and public forums hyping the desperate need for “high quality” childcare which is conveniently defined as that only run or regulated by the public school bureaucracy.

Neither argument is justified. If it were, then why since 2007 when “universal” publicly funded “high quality” pre-k programs have become increasingly available, and small independent providers have been increasingly squeezed out, have the fourth grade standardized test scores of the kids matriculating through this system dropped every year, year after year?

This is a question we certainly deserve a solid answer to before spending tens to a hundred million dollars on programs that appear to be doing more harm to kids than good.

But, don’t expect such due diligence. The current legislature has no interest in asking such questions let alone getting at the answers. They continue to plow ahead, despite voluminous lip

service to the notion that they really, truly are doing all they can to control rising property taxes.

In fact, Speaker of the House Shap Smith (D-Morristown) recently asked the State Board of Education to investigate and recommend fixes to the Vermont’ universal pre-k law.

According to the same online news article, “The main concerns are that some working and impoverished families can’t take advantage of the vouchers the state provides for 10 hours a week of pre-kindergarten for every child, because they can’t pay for the rest of the week.”

Families may also lack transportation to get their children to a center or pick them up after the voucher hours and move them to day care for the rest of the workday.

Yup, 10 hours a week of property taxpayer funded pre-k is not enough. We need 40 hours a week of property taxpayer funded pre-k just to make it “fair.” Even a preschooler can see exactly where this is going. And where the money’s going to come from? You. Rob Roper is president of the Ethan Allen Institute. He lives in Stowe.

The week in Sports

Spencer, Swim earn All-Region honors From Campus News Reports

CASTLETON — After leading the Spartans to their third consecutive NAC Championship and NCAA Tournament Appearance, seniors Nick Swim and Sam Spencer have been named All-Region by both the America Baseball Coaches Association (ABCA) and the New England Intercollegiate Baseball Association (NEIBA).

Swim was named to the ABCA/Rawlings and NEIBA All-New England Second-Team at shortstop, while Spencer earned Third-Team honors at pitcher. This marks the first time since 2012 that Castleton has had two players earn AllRegion honors. It is also the first time since 2012 a Spartan was selected to the Second Team. The two were the only two North Atlantic Conference Players to be honored by either organization.

The NAC Player of the Year, Swim had an outstanding senior year as he led the Spartans in virtually every offensive category while also recording a program-record 27-game hitting streak in April. He led Castleton in hitting (.405), onbase percentage (.466) and slugging (.577), to go with 68 hits, 53 runs, 45 RBI and 16 doubles. Swim also walked 18 times while striking out on just 12 occasions. Swim finished his two-year career with 132 hits, 32 doubles, 84 runs and 74 RBI while batting .407.

Spencer was selected to the third team after being named NAC Pitcher of the Year this season. He went a team-best 7-3 in 69.0 innings with ten starts and six complete games. Spencer led the team with 56 strikeouts and walked just 12 batters while allowing 26 earned runs. In his three years at Castleton, he finished with a 17-8 record and 130 strikeouts while posting a 2.72 ERA. The Spartans finished 33-12 in 2016, the third highest win total in program history but the best winning percentage of any season with at least 20 games played (.733).9.

Howlett named CSJ men’s coach

By James Lambert

RUTLAND — College of St. Joseph in Rutland has named Alphonso Howlett as men’s basketball head coach.

Howlett brings a wealth of experience from both on the court and on the sidelines at the collegiate-level, having served most recently as the assistant coach for the men’s basketball program at CSJ under former Head Coach Bob Walsh.

A native of Harlem, N.Y., Howlett also held the position of assistant coach for his alma mater Green Mountain College from 2008-2009. As a member of the college’s basketball team from 2006-2008, he was both a captain and a two-year starter.

“As a native of New York City, a young man out of Harlem, I have a strong connection with the guys that we have on our current roster and potential inner city recruits looking to attend College of St. Joseph,” he said.

Howlett has spent the last four years as the varsity boy’s basketball coach at nearby Poultney High School, and has experience working at basketball camps throughout New England, teaching fundamental skills of the game to children and

young adults.

“I would like to thank the hiring committee for giving me the opportunity to move over two seats after serving as Bob Walsh’s assistant,” he said. “I can’t thank Coach Walsh enough for believing me in me enough to join his staff.”

Walsh stepped down after two successful seasons as the head coach that included two trips to the national tournament. He is an Associate Professor of Psychology & Human Services at CSJ. Howlett is looking forward to what the upcoming season holds for the team that finished last season with a 20-11 overall record.

“I am very excited to start working with a great group of people at CSJ and look forward to what the future holds for the men’s basketball program,” he said. “I appreciate all of the support that the program has and look forward to seeing a lot of people in the stands next season.”

Veteran athletic trainer Sue Murphy to retire From College News Reports

MIDDLEBURY — Sue Murphy, longtime member of the Middlebury College Sports Medicine Department, will retire in August after 40 years at the college. Murphy joined the staff in September 1976 after earning her degree in Physical Therapy from the University of Vermont earlier that year.

“I have thoroughly enjoyed my time at Middlebury - it has been a privilege working with the student-athletes, my colleagues, coaches and community health-care providers,” said Murphy. “In particular, I am deeply grateful to our [sports medicine] directors Dick Waterman, Dave Matthews and more recently Kelly Cray for their support and leadership.”

“Sue has dedicated 40 years of service to Middlebury College athletics, demonstrating compassion and drive right up to her last days serving student-athletes. Her sense of humor and consistency will be missed by all, including athletes, coaches and her colleagues in the training room,” said Director of Sports Medicine Kelly Cray. “As a colleague of Sue’s for 24 years, I will miss the opportunity to learn from her and to strive to achieve the standards of care that she has modeled over her four decades of service.”

In her time at Middlebury, Murphy has worked with thousands of athletes from every Panther team. When Murphy came to Middlebury, she and Waterman were the only athletic trainers in a department that also treated members of the general student body. Forty years later, due to increased enrollment and teams, the Department of Sports Medicine has grown to six employees who treat varsity and club-sport athletes.

Murphy spent significant time working with the men’s soccer program, and says one of the highlights of her career came in 2007 when she accompanied the team to Florida where the Panthers won the NCAA Championship in dramatic fashion.

Longtime men’s soccer coach David Saward says Murphy has been invaluable to his team.

“Sue has been absolute pleasure to work with,” said Saward. “The players trusted her implicitly and her word was gospel around the team.

She has been friend, counselor, psychologist, surrogate mother, loyal team player and healer extraordinaire.”

“One of the most enjoyable and satisfying things I experience is when I get a ‘thank you’ from an athlete after rehab that enables them to return to competition,” said Murphy. “There’s something great about watching them return to action and knowing you had a little piece in that.”

“I am certain that I speak for all players and

coaches alike when I say we will miss her presence greatly. From all the men’s soccer players who have benefited from her professional attention over the years, we thank her and wish her the best of good health in her upcoming retirement,” said Saward.

“America’s Moses” was Vermonter first

Brigham Young’s birthplace site in Whitingham, Vt., as it looked in the early 1900s.

Library of Congress

Conclusion: Mormonism’s mighty lion, Brigham Young

By Lou Varricchio

Last week: Ò By 1850, Brigham was assuming his Ô MosesÕ role by heading up the exodus of fellow Latter Day Saints from Missouri to the westÑ and destiny. Eventually, Young relocated his group to the Salt Lake Desert of what was formerly part of Mexico, todayÕ s State of Utah.Ó This week the Eagle concludes its look at Vermonter Brigham Young and his impact on American historyÑ During his later years, Brigham never hesitated acknowledging that a divine hand was leading him—and his followers—along life’s path.

“God has seen fit to bless me with means, and as a faithful steward I use them to benefit my fellowmen-to promote their happiness in this world in preparing them for the great hereafter,” Young told a friend. “My whole life is devoted to the Almighty’s service, and while I regret that my mission is not better understood by the world, the time will come when I will be understood, and I leave to futurity the judgment of my labors and their result as they shall become manifest.”

Among the controversial aspects of Young’s robust life was, of course, that of his “Big Love” polygamous lifestyle—the church leader had 55 wives, at least according to some sources.

“While the majority of the (marital) sealings were ‘for eternity’, some were ‘for time only’ (until death),” according to biographer James Crockwell. “However, it is suspected that not all of the 55 marriages were conjugal, and Young did not live with a number of his wives or publicly held them out as wives, which has led to confusion on numbering. A book published in 1887 gives brief biographical sketches and photos of a total of 26 wives.”

Brigham Young died in Salt Lake City on Aug. 29, 1877.

He left behind communities, temples, schools, a celebrated world-renown choir, a university, and many widows. Accord-

ing to a New York Times article published in 1902, “Young’s direct descendants number more than 1,000.”

Brigham Young’s contribution to America’s Manifest Destiny philosophy of the 19th century should not be underestimated. Even today, his influence is visible throughout communities of the western U.S. “If the circumstances of his life had worked out differently [he] might have become a captain of industry—an Andrew Carnegie or John D. Rockefeller or a railroad builder. Instead, this able, energetic, earthy man became the absolute ruler and

the revered, genuinely loved father figure of all Mormons everywhere,” according to writer Rodman Paul.

The pioneer life of Brigham resonated throughout America.

In 1940, an all-star Hollywood movie, titled “Brigham Young”, told an enhanced version of the Vermonter’s life story. Actor Dean Jagger, who played the part of Young, was so moved by the role that he later converted to the LDS faith.

In 1950 a special memorial was erected to commemorate Brigham Young’s Vermont birthplace.

At the unveiling of the memorial to America’s Moses— with hundreds of onlookers on hand—U.S. Court of Appeals Judge Harrie B. Chase of Vermont, said, “The name Brigham Young has become accepted as a symbol of perseverance, courage to bear difficulties, and capacity to surmount them. This monument is a fitting tribute to a great American, Vermont’s famous son.”

Author Megan Price pens wacky tales of Vermont’s woods RUTLAND — The author of the popular book, “Vermont Wild: Adventures of A Fish & Game Warden” will appear at the Rutland Free Library, Saturday, June 11, from 2:30 pm. to 4 p.m.

Vermont author Megan Price will dedicate copies of her book for fans wanting a memorable keepsake for their Dad or favorite grad, or a fun summer book for themselves.

Price’s four volumes of true, humorous and sometimes harrowing game warden stories have proven a hit among young and old alike—especially with hunters and anglers.

“From ravenous bears, charging moose and a long list of wily poacher encounters, Price’s books are best sellers at many Green Mountain bookstores,” according to Price. “The most recent volume was released a few months ago and relates more than a decade of effort by game wardens to arrest and prosecute a poacher who continually slipped through their fingers.”

A former reporter and state legislator, Price began by collecting and writing the humorous stories of retired warden Eric Nuse of Johnson.

When the public clamored for more, Price reached out to wardens from around Vermont and Maine.

Price has been called a folklore artist for her efforts in collecting and preserving the men’s wacky woods adventures. Her appearance at the Rutland Library offers a rare opportunity to hear some stories behind the stories and to have books dedicated to loved ones as memorable gifts that will be enjoyed again and again. The event is free and open to all ages.

“Without the hard work and tenacity of fish and game wardens, Vermonters would not enjoy the wildlife we see today,” Price said.

“The fact their stories are loved by all ages, all walks of life, is a tribute to these men. If the Green Mountains could talk, these are some of the stories they’d tell.”

Price has been featured on Vermont Public Radio and has twice earned a mention on the nationally recognized Publisher’s Weekly website.

touring bands and orchestras, as does the National Air Guard.

Even the Civil Air Patrol, the USAF’s civilian auxiliary, has a proud heritage of showcasing touring bands.

But among the USAF’s best bands is the Air Force Heritage Brass symphonic brass ensemble.

This season, Heritage Brass is celebrating its 75th anniversary, founded in 1941 the year Pearl Harbor was bombed by Japan. The attack of infamy, which took place in Hawaii, triggered America’s entry into World War II. Addison County residents who enjoy military bands—with each member a top-notch musician in his or her own right— are in for a treat on Thursday, June 9, at 7 p.m., at the downtown Vergennes Opera House.

Thanks to the efforts of the Addison County Chamber of Commerce and the Vergennes Opera House, the USAF Heritage of American Band’s Heritage Brass symphonic brass ensemble will perform once on the opera house stage.

According to Chamber of Commerce publicity, “the Heri-

tage Brass will bring the military tradition of brass and percussion to the opera house stage and presents a program that is exhilarating and intimate. “ Addison County Chamber President Sue Hoxie, was instrumental in securing the band’s visit to Addison County.

“The group called looking for a venue and the Vergennes Opera House was ready, willing and thrilled to comply,” Hoxie said.

Vergennes Opera House President Gerianne Smart was also pleased with the brass band’s planned one-time public performance.

“We are thrilled that this group will be filling the opera house hall with big, bold and inspirational music for community members to enjoy. And the fact that this is a free concert is especially pleasing,” Smart said.

According to Smart, the Heritage Brass concert is not a ticketed event—it’s free. However, she and Hoxie noted that concert goers are encouraged to arrive early since the doors open at 6 p.m. and seating will be on a first-come, first-served basis.

Band Director of Operations MSgt John Johnson, USAF,

schedules the professional band’s appearances in New England and the Middle Atlantic states. His mission is to put a public face on the band. As a result, the band not only entertains, but also helps educate Americans. Just like every organization, from a country store to a big corporation, the Air Force has a human face.

“Through the universal language of music, we communicate U.S. Air Force and Department of Defense messages, making lasting connections with our audiences,” he is quoted on the USAF’s website. “Our community and civic outreach performances serve to instill patriotism, build partnerships, enhance the reputation of the Air Force and the United States, and demonstrate American values to the world.”

Communication, honor, inspiration, and recruitment are what’s behind the band’s public touring this summer. The band inspires audiences with its members high level of professionalism and military precision; it tells the Air Force story in a musical way.

Refugees

From page 1 Refugees brought to the United States undergo TB tests as part of comprehensive health screenings. State health departments track the data to monitor cases and protect against public health crises.

TB cases in Vermont According to IGRA (Interferon-Gamma Release Assays) blood test results from 2013 to the present, the highest percentage of incoming refugees to Vermont infected with TB occurred in 2013. That year, 108 refugees out of 248 tested, or 43.6 percent, showed positive for TB. Test results showed slight improvement in subsequent years, with 34 percent of incoming refugees having TB in 2014 and 32 percent showing positive in 2015. Children under age 5 are excluded from the results, as they undergo tuberculin skin tests, or TSTs. While active TB is fatal in half of cases that go untreated, Ben Truman, health policy and web program coordinator at the Vermont Department of Health, said only a handful of TB cases each year in Vermont are “active.”

“The Vermont five-year average of active TB cases for 2011 to 2015 is 5.4 cases, with a range of two to eight cases per year,” Truman said.

Using Truman’s active TB averages, Vermont reported 27 active TB disease cases between 2011 and 2015. Truman would not say how many resettled refugees in Vermont have active TB disease, or if refugees are included in the Health Department’s five-year average of active TB cases.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention re-

www.addison-eagle.com

ports that tuberculosis is common worldwide, with one out of every three people carrying the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis. In 2014, about 9.6 million people had active TB and 1.5 million people died from the disease. TB disease is rare in the United States, however, with just 9,421 active TB cases reported in 2014.

Unlike active TB disease, latent TB infection is not contagious, and people who have it experience no symptoms.

Latent TB infection can advance to active TB disease, however, where symptoms typically include weight loss, fever, and chronic cough and phlegm, often including blood. About 10 percent of untreated latent infections advance to active TB disease, according to the CDC. Breitbart reported that most of Arizona’s 222 active TB cases among resettled refugees over the past two decades were caused by latent TB infections that advanced to active TB disease. A fact sheet from Arizona’s Department of Health states that the cases were “caused by latent tuberculosis infections that became active after years or even decades of lying dormant.” The department urges people with latent TB infection to “complete an entire course of medication” to prevent possible activation.

Truman said advancement from latent TB to active TB is not typical in Vermont cases.

“Many people who have latent TB infection never develop TB disease. In these people, the TB bacteria remain inactive for a lifetime without causing disease,” he said. “The TB incidence in Vermont is low at 1.11 cases per 100,000 (2015), which is less than the national average of 3.0 cases per 100,000.”

Refugee resettlement is facing fresh scrutiny after Presi-

dent Obama pledged to admit 100,000 refugees to the United States, up from the prior cap of 70,000. As distinguished from immigrants, refugees are people who have fled their countries due to war or persecution.

Rutland backlash Vermont Refugee Coordinator Denise Lamoureux said Vermont plans to admit 350 refugees this year. One hundred refugees may be placed in Rutland, where Mayor Chris Louras is facing a backlash from residents for hiding the city’s resettlement plans from the public.

Refugees may be entitled to multiple years of taxpayerfunded medical, cash and social assistance. Assistance benefits range from Medicaid and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families to job preparation and placement. Funding for Vermont’s refugee resettlement program comes from federal grants distributed to the Vermont Agency of Human Services and the the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants.

Lamoureux said the current year funding is in line with the 2013-2014 funding grants, except that cash and medical assistance expenses dropped by about $350,000, due to lower refugee medical assistance costs following the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid expansion. She added that social services allocations are down to $195,737 for fiscal year 2016.

While Truman didn’t say how the Health Department was handling active TB cases among Vermont’s refugees, a single active TB case for a teacher at Charlotte Central School in 2015 led the department to test about 500 students and coworkers. Test results found that 19 children and two adults had become infected with latent TB. Contact Bruce Parker at bparker@watchdog.org.
