RUTLAND CITY Ñ The Vermont Agency of Transportation has given preliminary approval of $175,000 for repairing Dorr Drive in Rutland City, but final approval may yet hinge on adding costly bike lanes.

In a letter to RutlandÕ s city engineer, VTrans district project manager Brian Sanderson announced pre-approval of a Class 2 Roadway grant to help the city fix a pressing infrastructure need. The one-mile stretch of road between River Street and the town line has a failing road bed and is in grave need of repair. Ò I have recommended for approval your grant application in the amount of $175,000.00 State Funds. My recommendation is being forwarded to Montpelier for final approval,” the letter states.

While the preliminary thumbs-up is good news for residents of Rutland City, Clarendon and Rutland Town who drive the corridor, city CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

officials may have more work to do, according to VTrans. Ò It is my understanding that in receiving the $175,000 grant, the City will be pursuing options regarding Complete Streets compliancy.

I am hopeful that you will be sending me additional correspondence and associated documents as you delve into the Complete Streets Act of 2011 and consider its applicability to the Dorr Drive reconstruction project,” the letter from VTrans states.

Since the enactment of VermontÕ s Complete Streets Law in 2011, municipalities must consider bike lanes and pedestrian access for every road repair project. In the case of Dorr Drive, adding three-foot-wide bike lanes to the current road could turn a $263,910 repair into a $418,078 project. The cityÕ s entire annual highway paving budget is $500,000.

Jeff Wennberg, RutlandÕ s commissioner of public works, says he plans to bid the project with and without bike lanes. However, he added that Rutland taxpayers are heavily burdened and might not appreciate the higher costs.

Rokeby farm drawings on exhibit FERRISBURGH Ñ Rokeby Museum will open Ò The Farm: Drawings of Rowland Evans Robinson, 1850-1880”, a never-before-seen exhibition of drawings on Sunday June 14.

At 3 p.m.. historian Gregory Sharrow of the Vermont Folklife Center will be on hand to explore VermontÕ s farm legacy in his presentation “Sense of Place.” Sharrow draws on the Folklife CenterÕ s rich collection to examine the fabric of VermontÕ s farm culture and distinctive traditions from the early 20th century as he probes its relationship to todayÕ s farms and farmers.

The drawings of Rowland Evans Robinson cover similar territory, but from 150 years earlier. Born to abolitionist parents at Rokeby in 1833, Robinson began to draw as a child. Hankering to “be somebody,” he set off for New York City in his early 20s. He struggled to find work in the illustrated newspapers of the day and eventually succeeded capturing the farm life all around him for the agricultural papers. Those drawings will be on display

until the end of October.

The program, “Sense of Place,” is sponsored by the Vermont Humanities Council and is free. Admission to the museum is $10 adults, $9 seniors, and $8 students.

Rokeby Museum presents a national underground railroad story tucked inside a quintessential Vermont experience. It is open daily from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. until Oct. 25.

Ethan Allen’s Cave or Nobody’s Cave?

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com SALISBURY Ñ Local writers and historians James and Max Petersen of Salisbury wrote the definitive history of Lake Dunmore back in 1998. Their coauthored book, Ò Lord Dunmore’s Lake”, has remained in print since then and inspired a new generation to seek out local history and explore some of its landmarks and artifacts.

The Petersens were among the first to dig into the legend of Lake DunmoreÕ s most famous natural feature, Ethan AllenÕ s CaveÑ also known as WarnerÕ s Cave and Cave of the Green Mountain Boys.

In their history of the lake, the PetersensÑ displaying a fine bit of whimsy—described the geological feature as “Somebody’s Cave”. The cave is located on Camp Keewaydin land, on the Ethan Allen Trail, about one-quarter mile from the end of the Branbury State Park camping area.

While this writer wanted to give the local fascination with the cave some credence, when you seriously examine its history, and realize that itÕ s made up more of legend than of fact, youÕ ll likely come to the same conclusion, after applying the principle of OccamÕ s Razor to the problemÑ itÕ s simply NobodyÕ s Cave.

Over the decades, this cave, situated at the base of an enormous triangular, metamorphic erratic, has had various names and legends associated with it. To begin with, the feature is not a true solution or tectonic cave; it is a large cleft

at the base of a massive boulder.

While the cave may have been larger in the past, centuries of accumulation of forest floor duff and downslope debris have filled it in.

Today, itÕ s hard to imagine that a large man such as Ethan AllenÑ or any other Green Mountain Boy for that matter—could fit inside the cleft, unless of course the man was a member of a race of woodland gnomes.

True, the area around Lake Dunmore is rich in human history. Indian artifacts are common in the area, especially along the Leicester River flowing out of the lake; native people camped and fished along Dunmore’s shores for at least 8,000 years before white men arrived in the area.

This much was verified by the Petersens: When the first settlers arrived in Salisbury and explored the east side of Lake Dunmore, they reported Native activity at the rock shelter including a wooden structure attached to the cave.

According to the Petersens, Ò It is equally probable that in those years prior to, and during, settlement of the state, trappers, hunters, and surveyors knew of the cave on the mountainside above the east shore of Lake Dunmore and used it as a meeting place or lodging for the night.”

So, the $10,000 question is how the great patriot Ethan Allen and his Boys got associated with the cave in the first place.

In the course of their research, the Petersens encountered an obscure adventure-romance, titled “The Green Mountain Boys” by Middle-

The writer at Ethan Allen’s Cave along Lake Dunmore’s east shore. Over the decades, this cave, more of a cleft at the base of an enormous metamorphic erratic, has had various names and legends associated with it.

bury College alumnus Daniel Pierce Thompson, published in 1839 in Montpelier. The book was popular for many years, but after it went out of print in 1912, its memoryÑ told down the years by fathers and mothers to young boys and girls by campfires—helped create the cave’s enduring legend.

While a student in Middlebury between the years 1817 and 1820, ThompsonÑ at least as the Petersens tell itÑ enjoyed hiking around Addison County. In those years, several of the early settlers, while in advanced years, were still living.

Minding my own business

O

utside my living room window is a mad, parallel universe in which familiar things, such as cultural icons, either no longer exist or are turned upside down and inside out.

Familiar protocols, traditions, and interactions seem to no longer apply. Is this my reaction to what author Alvin Toffler called “future shock” or is it something else?

Looking at this shift, there is growing evidence that we have become a nation of whiners, victims, fear mongers, naysayers, busy bodies, and tattlers; we seek to set right our petty problems by crying to a big brotherÑ a government agency, a lawyer, even a copÑ to settle our accounts, or to simply make life miserable for those individuals who have (or whom we imagine might have) slighted our precious egos or world views.

Instead of settling disagreements like civil ladies and gentlemen, many resort, instead, to the personal “nuclear option.”

We call the copsÑ or call a lawyerÑ to force the other guy into submission by seeing it our way. We post horrible things on Facebook and then insult people for not agreeing with us.

Back in 2012 or 2013, I recall a New York Daily news story about a tourist visiting New York City who ran up a restaurant tab and then told the waiter that he couldnÕ t pay (because he left his wallet back at the hotel). The tourist ended up being shot by New York’s Finest, the NYPD. Rather than, first, have the restaurant’s manager call the hotel front desk to verify the touristÕ s story, the waiter instead rushed to call the cops. An otherwise minor incident ended in gunfire and death.

The restaurant story is the tip of a national iceberg. Why do so many people resort to calling the police for trivial matters instead of just settling it like adults?

I understand “dine and dash” incidents are serious problems for restauranteurs, but come onÑ weÕ re not talking armed robbery or hostage taking here. Someone ate a meal and then didnÕ t pay for it. During another equally miserable period in American history, the Great Depression, such scofflaws were put to work in the kitchen washing dishes, scrubbing floors, or cleaning toilets. Not paying for a meal is like shoplifting; sure, itÕ s a crime, but not one requiring a SWAT team on the premises.

Locally, IÕ ve heard about several incidents involving police that were blown way out of proportion by the “slighted” individuals, at least to my reasoning. No trespass notices seved to customers who made a flippant comment or pursued an unjust sales bill.

I wonder why local police bother to get involved with these petty, time-consuming incidents when graver things—burglary, domestic violence, and drug traffickingÑ are more pressing locally? So, maybe there really isnÕ t anything else to do?

In the end, a return to civilityÑ even just talking to each other about our concerns, slights, fears, personal views, and misinterpretations—will require a significant effort by all of us, not just the proverbial Them.

For a society filled with so many amazing communication devices, we seem to have forgotten the simple act of talking face-to-face.

Fight at CVU leads to charges

By Gail Callahan

HINESBURG — A May 12 fight at Champlain Valley Union High School in Hinesburg led to a relative of one of the students allegedly involved heading to court to answer charges.

Jerald Gaynon, 20, of Hinesburg was charged by Hinesburg Community Police with disturbing the peace by use of telephone or other electronic communications. Gaynon was also issued a temporary order against stalking, according to a May 29 press release issued by Hinesburg Police.

According to police, the incident began when four CVU students were involved in a fight. Police responded to the campus, deciding that the school should handle the matter.

Gaynon was later questioned about threatening Twitter messages he allegedly sent one of the students said to be involved in the fight. The student who was said to be receiving the tweets is 16 years old, said Hinesburg Police. At the time, Gaynon was given by police a no trespass order for CVU and directed to stop

Remembering Roger Larocque U.S. veteran Roger Henry Larocque, 70, of Ripton died April 28, 2015, at the University of Vermont Medical Center surrounded by loved ones.

He was born March 3, 1945, in Salisbury to Omer and Yvonne (Quenneville) Larocque. He grew up in Salisbury, where he attended school and worked on the family farm. In 1968 he was drafted into the U.S. Army and honorably served in the Vietnam War. After returning to the U.S. he worked as a roofer for 21 years, then was employed by the Ripton Elementary and North Branch schools until his retirement.

He was very proud to have served in the military and flew the American flag at his house. He enjoyed volunteering with the V.F.W. and American Legion in Middlebury. Family said he was hardworking and preferred to stay busy, enjoying anything that kept him outside, particularly gardening and landscaping.

On his down time, family said, he loved to visit with family and friends and play with his grandchildren. From the time his oldest granddaughter, Mckenna, was four years old, he would spend mornings with her playing cards, feeding her and bringing her

contacting the student. Some two weeks later, police learned Gaynon was still contacting the underage students, using Twitter.

Hinesburg Community Chief of Police Frank Koss said the “vast majority” of discipline issues are handles internally by CVU officials. Koss noted when incidents reach “ a certain threshold” such as damage to property or assault, then officers are sent to the school.

When asked if there was any dialogue between CVU and the police about assigning a school resource officer, or SRO to the campus. ÒT here was no talk about that. They (CVU) never seemed interested,” said Koss.

Several Chittenden County high schools, including Burlington, Colchester and South Burlington, utilize the services of an SRO during the academic year.

Gaynon is slated to appear in Chittenden Superior Court June 25 at 8:30 a.m. to school. On weekends he enjoyed having grandchildren Mckenna, Logan and Emerson with him as much as possible, taking them to Cornwall to show the children the gardens, pond and occasionally take them for rides on the tractor and Gator on the property owned by his close family friends Rick and Martie Fritz. With all of these special outings, family said he passed on his love for the outdoors. He was extremely proud of oldest grandchild, Seth, and looked forward to his graduation from the University of Massachusetts, Dartmouth in May. He was also proud of his four children and the hardworking, thoughtful, independent and loving people they have become.

He is survived by his loving wife of 29 years, Debra (Desjadon) Larocque; his children, Jonas Larocque and his wife Cheryl, Leah Larocque, Tinaya (Larocque) Raymond and husband Brent, and Isaac Larocque and wife Marsha; and his siblings, Jeanette (Larocque) Jackson, Marcel Larocque, Paul Larocque, Morris Larocque and wife Vivian, Susan (Larocque) Homick and husband Steve, Leo Larocque and wife Penny, Anita Larocque and Pauline (Larocque) LaPlant. He is predeceased by his parents, brother Harris Larocque, sister-in-law Diane Larocque, brotherin-law Russel Jackson, brother-in-law Charles LaPlant, nephew Bucky Jackson and nephew David Volker.

Memorial contributions may be made to the Middlebury VFW Post 7823.

A private burial for family was held at Farmingdale Veterans Cemetery on Three Mile Bridge Road in Middlebury May 2.

Cave

From page 3 with a collection of their oral tales of VermontÕ s frontier days, Thompson penned his story of the American Revolution along Lake Dunmore.

Of course, too many years have passed now to know if Thompson’s book included a bona fide historical backstory (the author did talk with eyewitnesses of the war and the years leading up to it, so there may be an element of veracity there), but it goes something like this: Just before shots were fired at Breed’s Hill in Boston, a posse led by New York Sheriff John Munro set out from the west to find the rebellious Green Mountain Boys.

Munro and his men wanted to collect a bounty on the head of treasonous Seth Warner, the BoysÕ leader. Apparently, at the lake they were joined by other Tories from nearby New Haven.

Seth Warner, Ethan Allen and the Boys, we are told, used the cave above the lake as a rendezvous site; they may have plotted some of their rebellious acts against the British Crown in its wide, dark chamber.

According to the Petersens retelling of ThompsonÕ s story, Ò ...Sheriff Munro and three of his cohorts were thrown into the lake and then chased off into the darkness while a fifth man, Justus Sherwood, a Tory from

www.addison-eagle.com New Haven, was captured and on the following morning soundly whipped by the Green Mountain Boys for his sins against the (local) settlers...”

We wonÕ t spoil the plot for any would be readersÑ assuming you can locate a copy of this rare bookÑ but suffice it to say our patriotic heroes defeated Sherwood’s band of New Haven Tories in a gunfight along the Otter Creek probably somewhere near Three Mile Bridge Road in MiddleburyÕ s Farmingdale district, near pioneer Ann StoryÕ s cabin site.

Regardless of the surviving Addison County pioneers who may have inspired Thompson to write Ò The Green Mountain Boys”, there’s no record of Seth Warner, let alone Ethan Allen, ever having visited the cave above Lake Dunmore.

In the case of Ethan AllenÕ s Cave, fact becomes stranger than fiction—especially when, in the early 1900s, members of the Daughters of the American Revolution inscribed the rock above the cave entrance with the following: Ò The Cave of the Green Mountain Boys in whose honor this stone is marked by Lake Dunmore Chapter DAR of Brandon 1906.”

Today, the DARÕ s rock inscription is slowly eroding away and in a few decades, it will vanish completelyÑ perhaps, as well, the romance of Ethan AllenÕ s Cave.

Letters to the Editor

Fit meat To the editor: President Obama directed federal agencies to serve antibioticfree meat and poultry in government cafeterias. The FDA will require animal producers to obtain authorization from a licensed veterinarian to use drugs to treat a specific disease, rather than just to promote rapid growth, as is current practice. As much as 80 percent of all U.S. antibiotics are used in animal agriculture.

The moves come amid growing concern about the link between routine antibiotic use in animal agriculture and human infections by bacteria that have developed resistance to antibiotics because of their excessive use. The CDC estimates that antibiotic resistance causes 2 million illnesses per year in the U.S. and 23,000 deaths. It also adds $20 billion per year in health care costs and $35 billion in lost productivity . And we thought that animal products were just linked to heart disease, cancer, and stroke...

While government agencies reduce antibiotics in animal products, the rest of us can do better immediately with wholesome vegetables, fruits, legumes, grains and a rich variety of plant-

based meats, cheeses, milks, and ice creams available in every supermarket. These foods contain all the nutrients we require, without the deadly pathogens, antibiotics, carcinogens, cholesterol, and saturated fats.

Gunner Mickelson Cornwall

Natural gas To the editor: Those of us in the Middlebury business community who own or operate a facility that is currently dependent on fuel oil and/

or propane have been waiting patiently for the arrival of natural gas to our area. The economic benefits are substantial and will result in substantially healthier bottom lines.

As we see operating costs, property taxes and the minimum wage rise, these utility savings will enable us to stay competitive in the region and continue to be a vibrant contributor to our areas economy.

The need for a clean energy solution such as natural gas is obvious and to think that there is a non-fossil fuel solution in a facility such as ours, in the medium term, is not based on reality.

Vermont Gas is a strong energy efficiency partner and is committed to being a leader in clean energy innovation.

Students receive PEGTV scholarships RUTLAND — PEGTV officials in Rutland announced that Bethany Miglorie of Proctor and Garrett Hastings of Chittenden are each recipients of a $1,000 PEGTV Courcelle Scholarship.

This is the second year that PEGTV has offered two scholarships and expanded the scope to include the entire realm of visual and media arts.

Miglorie is a senior at Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Rutland. She will major in graphic design at Rutgers Mason Gross School of the Arts at Rutgers University. She has a career objective of becoming a successful designer working for a large firm involved with graphic and visual arts. Bethany is the daughter of John Miglorie and Catherine Miglorie of Proctor.

Hastings is a senior at Long Trail School in Dorset. He will attend Cornell University in the fall where he hopes to become a wildlife biology documentary filmmaker.

Hastings told the Eagle that, “Theater, film and writing have always been a passion of mine. I see film as an art and I want to explore all the possibilities in filmmaking from screenplays to documentaries.” Garrett is the son of Clyde Hastings, Jr. and Mindy Hastings of North Chittenden.

The PEGTV Courcelle Scholarship honors the memory of Joe Courcelle for his work for local public access television.

Fort bus tour planned RUTLAND Ñ The Crown Point Road Association offers a Saturday, June 27 daytrip from Vermont, to visit and tour historic forts that are located north of Lake Champlain in Quebec Province.

A motor coach will transport a group of 54 people, who may board in their choice of Rutland, Middlebury, or South Burlington. The host group is a non-profit organization which has set a per-person ticket price ($40) that is affordable and will result in a break-even for the association only if all of the seats are sold.

The itinerary consists of morning motor coach departures from Rutland, Addison, and Chittenden Counties along U.S. Route 7, followed by a border crossing and a sandwichÐ andÐ soda picnic lunch (included) and afternoon guided tours of Fort Chambly, Fort Lennox, (admissions fees are included) and a brief stop at the site of a memorial to Remember Baker, who was killed just a few miles north of the Canadian border.

Lunch will be made possible by anonymous donors and a snack is donated by Cabot Creamery. Passengers are invited to bring additional snacks for the ride home.

For answers to questions about this trip and to choose specific pick-up and drop-off point locations, readers may call Tom Hughes at 802-388-2967.

Vermont Watchdog From page 1

Ò We have one of the highest property tax burdens and one of the lowest income (populations) in the state. We have a grand list of $1 billion dollars, and not included in that is $400 million of tax-exempt property within our seven square miles. The taxpayers of the city are under enormous financial pressure. … There’s a limit, and we’re pretty much at it,” Wennberg told Vermont Watchdog.

WennbergÕ s concern for taxpayers isnÕ t shared by everyone. In recent months, leaders of the Rutland Regional Planning Commission

Published by New Market Press, Inc.

urged Sanderson and VTrans District 3 Administrator Robert Faley to hold off awarding the $175,000 grant if bike lanes arenÕ t added to Dorr Drive. Ò Cost is not considered by law to be a reason not to address bike/ ped in a project,” Susan Schreibman, assistant director at the Rutland Regional Planning Commission, wrote in an April 6 e-mail to VTrans.

Despite ongoing pressure from the RRPC and other complete streets advocates, Rutland City could decide against bike lanes as it has in the past.

Last year, Rutland rejected adding bike lanes to Woodstock Avenue after officials grew concerned about the potential for fatalities, and after area businesses opposed the changes three-to-one in a survey.

Rutland is not the only city struggling to force motorists to share the road with bikes and pedestrians.

In April, Memphis, Tenn., Mayor AC Wharton reversed course on a complete streets lane reduction after crashes increased, and after visitors complained the lane reductions were making city attractions like the Orpheum Theater inaccessible.

While Dorr Drive is a two-lane road, a typical complete streets reconfiguration involves shrinking four-lane roads down to two lanes and adding bike lanes on each shoulder — a so-called “road diet.”

Cycling enthusiasts generally favor road diets, but local residents say the configurations lead to traffic congestion. A road diet scheduled for BurlingtonÕ s North Avenue in 2016 is facing pushback from residents of the cityÕ s New North End. In Rutland, complete streets advocates at the Rutland Regional Planning Commission could be digging in for a fight. In an April 10 letter to RutlandÕ s Board of Highway Commissioners, Schreibman and Executive Director Edward Bove wrote that excluding bike lanes from the new Dorr Drive would be illegal.

Wennberg says thatÕ s a misunderstanding of Act 34. Ò ItÕ s a matter of Ô must be considered,Õ but there is no requirement that it be implemented Ñ only that we can document the reason we didn’t, even if the reason is we didn’t want to spend the money,” he said.

Wennberg also called the RRPCÕ s involvement in the grant process “very unusual,” adding, “I’ve never seen anything quite like this.”

Faley said that preliminary approval for the grant is an important step, but that Rutland needs to provide VTrans with additional information. Ò ThereÕ s still a lot of paperwork that needs to happen, and then of course they have to consider complete streets. They have to submit some more documentation to the Agency saying that they did consider it, and either they are going to adhere to the requirements or they’re not, and this is the reason they’re not.”

When asked if Rutland was assured the grant money either way, Faley replied, Ò They get the grant, but they have to prove to us that they have considered complete streets. É This is new. I donÕ t think itÕ s been considered before in any of our grants. ItÕ s a relatively new law. The City of Rutland is kind of a test model.”

For Wennberg, the decision may come down to costs. He said the road has experienced zero vehicle-bicycle accidents since 2009 and may not need designated bike lanes.

“For a five-year period there have been no vehicle-bike accidents there at all. É So if the cost is excessive, that is, 90 percent of our annual paving budget in order to achieve full compliance with complete streets, it would be hard to justify spending all that money on that,” Wennberg said.

According to Faley, another factor to be examined is the number of bikes and pedestrians expected to share the road. Ò Say the cost of the project goes up 50 percent but there arenÕ t very many users of the system in the way of bikes or pedestrians. Does that make sense to spend that much more money on a facility that really would be seldom used? I think they need to weigh what the extra cost is, and what the benefit is to taxpayers and users of the facility,” he said.

Wennberg said he is relieved the city has pre-approval, but he doesn’t have details about final approval or a project start date. Even so, he said implementing complete streets must be done in a balanced way that recognizes fiscal limits. Ò ItÕ s got to be something where the various demands and limited resources of local government are balanced,” he said. “We can’t be driven by well-meaning by narrow agendas for anything.”

Crash

From page 1 83 miles per hour through the Village of Hinesburg along a stretch of roadway where the speed limit rises from 30 to 40 miles per hour.

During the two-hour forum that drew a standing-room-only crowd to the Hinesburg Town Hall’s second floor, Marshall’s family and friends, Koss and Hinesburg Police Officer Anthony Cambridge and community members spoke about the pain and frustration they felt since the accident.

Alicia Marshall, JosephÕ s mother, expressed frustration that Koss wrote in his May column that if her son had survived the accident, he would have been charged with second-degree murder. Through tears, Mrs. Marshall said her son “loved life,” suggesting that if her son should have been charged with involuntary manslaughter, if he had survived the accident. ÒH e didnÕ t go out to kill Richard Tom,” Mrs. Marshall said. ÒH e was a boy who loved life. He didnÕ t mean to do this.”

Koss was more blunt in his assessment. ÒD ead is dead, Ò he said. ÒY ouÕ re no longer on the earth and it doesnÕ t matter if youÕ re taken out by a gun

or a car.”

Mrs. Marshall also noted that her family felt targeted by the Hinesburg Police prior to and after the crash. Koss told the audience to contact him with concerns about officer conduct. He said all of HinesburgÕ s police cruisers contain dashboard cameras and that he had just purchased body cameras for officers to wear during their shifts.

Cambridge, who noted he observed Joseph Marshall speeding when he was off-duty, described an encounter with Joseph Marshall while the officer was working. Cambridge called the teen “ a very polite, nice kid,” but was startled when the teen responded during a traffic stop that his family would sue the police department.

Cambridge indicated he hoped Joseph Marshall would express concern about his parentsÕ reaction when they learned about the stop. Cambridge also defended his decision to speak with Joseph MarshallÕ s grandmother following a traffic stop when the teen had received a warning about excessive speed. Cambridge said he spoke with the carÕ s registered owner, Joseph MarshallÕ s grandmother.

When asked by Mrs. Marshall why Koss wrote an editorial on the April 26 accident, noting there have other accidents in town, which claimed the

lives of teen drivers. KossÕ response was simple and blunt.”Other than being the Chief of Police in this town, I have no personal stake in this,” Koss said. ÒI donÕ t expect his family to be happy with me. What IÕ m asking for all of you to do is to respect the people on the road.”

Tom Rooney, a driverÕ s education teacher at Middlebury Union High School, said he was a friend of Tom, noting the difficulty he had talking about the accident with his students because of his relationship with Tom. He hoped that

The Vermont Eagle • June 13, 2015 | 13 people would learn about the inherit dangers of excessive speed, calling on adults to remember “we’re the role models.”

Mary Hurley of Hinesburg expressed her condolences to Joseph MarshallÕ s family, calling the teen’s death, “horrible,” and also sadly spoke about the loss of Tom. During her remarks, Hurley expressed support for KossÕ editorial, noting, the Òo verwhelming feeling she came away with after reading KossÕ statement was to Òt ry and save the lives of other people.”

Prisoners escape from Clinton County Correctional Facility

By Pete DeMola and Teah Dowling pete@denpubs.com

DANNEMORA, N.Y. Ñ The two convicted murderers who escaped from Clinton County Correctional Facility used power tools to burrow their way out of the maximum security facility, revealed officials at a press conference on Saturday afternoon.

During the 5:30 a.m. morning standing count, authorities discovered that two cells adjoining one another were empty, said Acting New York State Department of Corrections Commissioner Anthony Annucci.

A search revealed a hole cut out of the back of a cell through which Richard Matt and David Sweat escaped onto a catwalk some six stories off the ground.

After climbing down, Annucci said the pair used power tools to cut through a wall and steampipe, granting them access to a series of tunnels that led the pair to eventually escape through a manhole cover. Ò It was a very elaborate plan, but we are only at the very preliminary stages of determining exactly what happened,” said Annucci.

It remains unclear how the inmates obtained access to the tools, he said.

While all of the prisonÕ s tools had been accounted for, Annucci noted that independent contractors often perform work at the facility. Ò The governor has instructed me to leave no stone unturned in determining the investigation and what corrective action needs to be undertaken,” said Annucci.

Security is of utmost priority, he said, keeping inmates, staff and the general public safe.

New York State Police Major Charles Guess said his agency was working with federal law enforcement, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the US Marshal Service, to catch the convicts.

Over 200 law enforcement officers are in the area, he said, with a variety of specialized tactical units and equipment at their disposal.

Three aerial support aircraft have also been dispatched alongside K-9 units.

Guess said he could not comment on exact techniques and pro-

cedures of the investigation, but said the communityÕ s safety was of chief concern.

Earlier that afternoon, Governor Andrew Cuomo inspected the cells firsthand.

“This is quite an unusual occurrence,” he said. “It was elaborate, it was sophisticated.”

Cuomo said the pair left items in their cells designed to mask their disappearance: ”They left things in their bunk that looked like they were in the bunk and were sleeping,” he said. “They weren’t actual dummies, but they had clothing on and it looked like people were sleeping in the bunks with a sweatshirt-hoodie on, which is quite usual in terms of an inmate who is sleeping.”

Cuomo said many question marks remained, included how and from whom the escapees got the power tools to cut through the steel walls and pipes. Ò WeÕ re going to undertake a full investigation to make sure this

David Sweat (l) and Richard Matt (r), the two convicted murders who escaped from the Clinton Correctional Facility in Dannemora overnight on Saturday, June 6 remain on the loose, said authorities on Saturday.

was the first and the last time anyone escapes from this facility,” said Cuomo.

Cuomo hailed law enforcement for their efforts and urged the public to be wary.

“These are dangerous people and they’re nothing to be trifled with,” he said. “We want to make sure they don’t inflict any more pain on any New Yorker.”

MURDERERS Since opened in 1865, only two inmates have escaped from the facility, said Annucci.

Today’s discovery marks the first escape from the maximum security portion of this facility, he said.

The last escape from a maximum security facility in New York took place in 2003, from the Elmira Correctional Facility.

The convicts should be considered extremely dangerous, said officials.

Both were serving life sentences for murder.

Richard Matt, 48, is serving a sentence of 25 years to life following his conviction in Niagara County for three counts of murder, three counts of kidnapping and two counts of robbery after he kidnapped a male victim and caused his death by beating him on December 3, 1997.

Matt was transferred to Clinton Correctional on July 10, 2008.
