Historic bridge damaged in DUI tractor incident lou@suncommunitynews.com

CORNWALL-SALISBURY — The circa-1865 Cornwall-Salisbury Covered Bridge, spanning the Otter Creek and the townline of Cornwall and Salisbury, has endured a string of indignities in recent years, including extensive damage by vandals in 2009. Now, a new wound was inflicted on June 15.

The bridge’s remote, swampy location is a beautiful setting, but it contributes to the span’s vulnerability.

However, thanks to the watchful eyes of Vermont Fish & Wildlife Game wardens on June 15, a tractor driver was arrested after striking the historic covered bridge.

According to Trooper Cari Cric of the Vermont State Police’s New Haven Barracks, Vermont Fish & Wildlife Game wardens were first to observe a John Deere farm tractor strike the bridge on Swamp Road.

The wardens stopped the tractor’s driver Route 30 and identified the operator as Denny Pouliot, 40, of Shoreham.

The game wardens determined Pouliot had been consuming alcohol.

Stolen dog recovered, arrest made

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

RUTLAND — Sgt. Henry J. Alberico of the Vermont State Police (VSP) in Rutland reported that the investigation of a dog stolen from the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) June 16 reached a happy ending a short time later.

Alberico reported that, at approximately 12:35 p.m., June 16, VSP in Rutland received a telephone call about a stolen dog from the Rutland County Humane Society.

The missing dog was described by Gretchen Goodman, director of the Rutland County Humane Society, as a oneyear-old terrier mix named Fred.

A VSP investigation began immediately with the assistance of the Rutland County Sheriff ’s Department and the U.S. Forest Service.

Sorrell sued over possible investigation of ‘climate change deniers’

By Michael Bielawski Vermont Watchdog Report

MONTPELIER — Vermont’s Attorney General is being sued for withholding public records related to a multi-state investigation of groups opposed to climate change policies.

On Monday, two nonprofit legal centers filed a lawsuit to force Attorney General William Sorrell and Assistant Attorney General Scott Kline to turn over documents from private email accounts that discuss climate change “deniers.”

The complaint, filed by attorneys for the Energy and Environment Legal Institute and Free Market Environmental Law Clinic, says a request for documents was made on May 10 but not responded to by the extended deadline of May 24 — the longest extension allowable under Vermont law.

According to the complaint, the groups seek discussions with Matt Pawa, an environmental lawyer for the Climate Accountability Institute; Lem Srolovic, chief of the New York Attorney

General’s Environmental Protection Bureau; Eric Schneiderman, New York’s attorney general; and John Passacantando, former executive director of Greenpeace USA. The requests contain keywords relating to a possible investigation being led by attorneys general of multiple states.

Records obtained from a prior request made in March show Sorrell and Kline have been working with Schneiderman, Srolovic and anti-fossil fuel activists on launching investigations into ExxonMobil and conservative think tanks generally opposed to climate change agendas.

“When we first submitted a public records request to Vermont in March, they seemed to follow the letter of that state’s freedom of information law, promptly turning over relevant documents in a very timely manner,” David Schnare, general counsel for Energy and Environment Legal Institute, said in a statement.

“The enormous fallout from those revelations CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

TREE STAND: Rising Tide protesters occupied an old butternut tree in Monkton along the Vermont Gas natural gas pipeline right-of-way starting March 23. In a related incident, Samuel Jessup of Montpelier was arrested June 14 for unlawful trespass and resisting arrest at a tree on Old Stage Road in Monkton.

Gas pipeline protester arrested in Monkton lou@suncommunitynews.com

MONKTON — On June 14, at approximately 4:38 p.m., Vermont State Police troopers and officers of the Addison County Sheriff ’s Department took Samuel Jessup, 31, of Montpelier, into custody.

Jessup was arrested for unlawful trespass and resisting arrest at a tree on Old Stage Road in Monkton.

According to VSP Trooper Brett Flansburg of the VSP New Haven Barracks, Jessup was a Vermont Gas pipeline protester.

In March, climate-change activist Will Bennington of the Vermont “climate-justice” group known as Rising Tide, said members would take turns camping in a makeshift arboreal tent— perched 30 feet above the ground—in the branches of a butternut tree on private property off Rotax Road in Monkton; that tree was marked as being in the right-of-way of the proposed gas line.

In the latest protest incident, Jessup had been living in a tree since June 8; the tree was located on private property on Old Stage Road in Monkton. He voluntarily climbed down without incident.

Since 2014, protesters have been active against the construction of Vermont Gas’ controversial natural gas pipeline which will run from Chittenden County to Addison County. The pipeline will be used to transport natural gas to western Vermont from Canada.

Roll call accountability

D

uring this year’s election campaign, new candidates for the Vermont House and Senate come armed to the teeth for the battle.

Thanks to the Ethan Allen Institute, Vermont’s homegrown “free market” thinktank, candidates, and voters, have no excuses when it comes to knowing how their state representative and senator voted on various bills and issues during the latest legislative session.

If you have Internet access, at home or via your local public library, you can scroll through the EAI’s list of local “yes” and “no” voting records.

Regardless of your political persuasion, this resource is an essential component of democracy in Green Mountain State.

While our elected representatives and senators are often quick to boast about how they voted, on one or another popular bill presented under the golden dome in Montpelier, other times, they seem to go out of their way to obscure how they voted (or didn’t vote due to individual absences which can never be explained).

With a service provided at no cost to voters by the EAI, legislators can no longer hide behind the curtain while the great and mighty Oz dazzles us with his/her brilliance.

During the coming weeks, thanks to EAI, we will look at other elected officials in Addison County, Rutland County, and southern Chittenden County.

To start, let’s look at selected highlights of the 2016 voting record of Addison County’s two Democrat state senators, as an example: •Sen. Claire Ayer and Chris Bray voted “yes” to approve the $5.8 billion FY17 budget (H.875). By voting “yes”, the senators supported a total increase of 2.7 percent over FY16. The $1.47 billion general fund portion of the budget, however, increases by 4.8 percent, while revenue is projected to grow at 2.2 percent.

“This budget also leaves an estimated $30 million hole for the FY18 budget,” according to the EAI. “Those voting �no’ argued that continuing the trend of spending taxpayer dollars faster than revenue comes into the treasury is unsustainable and irresponsible.”

•Senators Ayre and Bray voted “yes” in giving towns some say over renewable energy siting, but with the state maintaining ultimate control (S.230). Those voting “no” on S. 230 believed the bill did not go far enough in giving local communities a true veto over the siting of these projects.

•While Sen. Ayre voted “yes” to legalize marijuana (S.241), Sen. Bray voted “no”. While Ayre and Bray often vote in lockstep, Bray’s “no” vote on marijuana was perhaps based on the grounds that S. 241 sends the wrong message to Vermont youth while the state is in the midst of a mammoth drug addiction crisis.

•Both Senators Ayre and Bray voted “yes” to repeal Act 46 spending caps (S.233). Of course, had they both voted “no” they would have helped put downward pressure on property taxes. Instead, their “yes” votes simply just made homeownership more costly locally and statewide—and we’ll all feel the pinch of their votes in our wallets.

We hope this very brief look at Addison County’s two senators whets your appetite about your elected officials. To learn more about your legislator’s voting record throughout the legislative session, visit online at ethanallen.org.

Figure it out W

ouldn’t you assume we send smart people to Washington to solve problems?

Really difficult problems? You know, especially the ones that have us pitted against each other?

Obviously, we have a problem with innocent civilians being killed by unstable and crazy people. Some either don’t know right from wrong, while others have clearly chosen to use whatever weapon is within reach Dan Alexander to kill mass quantities of unsuspecting innoThoughts from cents.

Behind the Pressline Regardless of the reason war, unbalanced people, or whatever their motivation, it’s a big problem in need of a big and difficult solution that will appease both sides.

The problems is in seeking a solution it flies in the face of the second constitutional amendment guaranteeing responsible citizens the right to own a gun.

I know the constitution doesn’t use the word responsible, but that is where the real problem lies.

What the second amendment says is: “”A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.”

For far too many years both sides of this issue have dug in their heels, standing on their primal core values to never give in to the other side. Both sides have plenty of statistics supporting their position.

Consequently as a nation, we are frozen by this stalemate, with both sides standing frustratedly incensed that the other side just doesn’t get it and never will.

Every time one of these radically unstable or self proclaimed jihadist takes a life both sides go into lock down battle station mode.

The problem is never resolved causing both sides to up the ante and dig in even further.

We hear the same arguments and same posturing from both sides until the public tires of the saber rattling and things revert to the standby stare down until the next event reignites the controversy.

Both sides have valid concerns but the ranker has reached a point where neither side will listen to anything from the other side, yet we need a reasonable solution to protect the rights of everyone on both sides of the issue.

If Congress is unable to resolve the issue because most have already chosen a side, then it’s time for them to recuse themselves and appoint people of an independent point of view to arrive at a reasonable solution.

Guns are not the problem, but guns, or for that matter any weapon, in the hands of angry, unstable people who want to kill others and die while doing so is the problem and there must be a solution somewhere in this country to resolve the long standing stalemate, without infringing on law abiding citizens.

Syrian refugees To the Editor: In just a few months, the first Syrian refugees may begin to arrive in Rutland, and as they settle in they will be far removed from the culture and places they have known as their home. Good neighbors and strong communities welcome newcomers and provide a friendly environment that meets their religious, cultural, and educational needs.

We view this as a great time for the Rutland community and for College of St. Joseph, with plentiful educational opportunities for students, residents and Syrians arriving in Rutland.

The refugees arriving here would have great need to better understand English, learn of our culture, and find suitable space for prayer and worship. Rutlanders would find need to understand Syrian culture and customs as well. To that end, we have to look no further than the core values of the Sisters of St. Joseph, who founded College of St. Joseph 60 years ago. These core values have guided CSJ as the most diverse college in the state and can help us gain perspective in the ways that we welcome the Syrians to our community.

The core values of the sisters promote “gracious hospitality” and “love and service of the dear neighbor without distinction.” CSJ would have a wonderful chance to evidence these core values by bringing Rutland’s distinct and diverse populations together in education and service.

CSJ is currently exploring ways in which the College can be of best service to the Syrians and Rutland as a whole, including: Hosting events to bring Syrians, Rutlanders and college students into the same space to socialize and gain a greater understanding of one another.

Utilizing faculty expertise in Middle Eastern Culture to provide education and training in Syrian culture, as well as workshops or courses in English and American culture for refugees.

Provider Scholarship students working with the Syrian refugee population throughout the year as a learning experience for both groups. This provides an uncommon learning opportunity for students to understand another culture and complete service work that is meaningful to the community, their education and to the lives of the Syrians.

The College of St. Joseph family would proudly help Rutland’s Syrian population settle into our community to find success, happiness and a new place they are comfortable to call home. It’s in our mission. It’s in our values. It’s simply who we are.

Mark Martin, Roger Farley, John Gero and Mark Trudeau worked as a team to demolish Goshen Constable Shawn Martin’s house.

Goshen man is standing his ground lou@suncommunitynews.com

GOSHEN — Constable Shawn Martin wears several hats within Addison County’s smallest town, Goshen. For one thing, he’s the peace officer for the mountain community of 164 residents, and another thing, he’s the state fire warden for the town.

Martin is perfectly content with the place where he lives which is why, having to knock down his residence, on a halfacre on Capen Hill Road, and replace it with a new structure has been tough. But he’s not going to give up or move. He likes the land where he and his family have called home for 16 years.

Martin and his wife were finally displaced back in February after years of heavy Green Mountain snows took their toll on their circa-1970 trailer house. Martin spent years dealing with shifting frames, cracking rafters and heaving posts. But it had finally reached a climax in December.

Three days before Christmas 2015, an engineer paid the Martins a visit to inspect the place, but it quickly became a final verdict on the place—demolish the house, maybe replace it if you like.

“There had been one thing after another,” Martin said. “I would fix one problem in the house, then 10 more would pop up.”

After his home insurance agent visited and gave him the thumbs up due to Mother Nature’s damage, the Martins got into high gear.

Martin and his wife began to store their possessions and search for temporary shelter while work commenced, Martin then asked carpenter Mark Trudeau of Middlebury to take a look at the structure and suggest a plan of action.

Trudeau looked and, in turn, came up with a novel, costsaving means to demolish the Martin’s house. The carpenter would also help build a new foundation, and be involved with the Martins’ plan for a new, modular home-sweet-home.

What turned out to be unusual about the job was Trudeau’s decision to use a variety of heavy duty power saws to slice up the damaged structure—like slices of a birthday cake.

Trudeau eventually cut through the trailer in sections and the debris handily carted away. No heavy equipment, no Everest-like debris pile, and best of all, no big bill (demolishing any house can be a pricey undertaking).

Trudeau, Shawn Martin’s son Roger, Mark Martin, and John Gero of Bristol, pitched-in to skillfully demolish the circa-1970 structure and clear the site—all in advance of making way for a new house.

Next, the Martins went house shopping and selected a cozy, 44 x 28 modular house built by Mark Bean’s company in Lyndonville, Vt. The modular house was sold to the Martins by Factory Direct Homes located on U.S. Route 7 in Pittsford. The mod dealer has an impressive selection of ready-to-go, Vermontmade Bean manufactured homes at surprisingly affordable prices.

“It’s going to take six weeks to build it, two parts with a crane,” Martin said. “Then 2 weeks to set and we’ll move in.”

Meanwhile, the Martins are counting down the remaining weeks until move-in day. And in the case of Shawn Martin, it’s to easy to paraphrase author Thomas Wolfe: “Yes, you can go home—again.”

Children injured in Pittsford ATV crash PITTSFORD — On June 14, at approximately 5:10 p.m., members of the Vermont State Police, Regional Ambulance Service and Pittsford First Response were notified of an all-terrain vehicle crash in the area of 5636 U.S. Route 7 in Pittsford.

An Investigation revealed that Karen R. Flanders, 28, of Pittsford, was operating a 2016 Can-Am Outlander 650 all-terrain vehicle on family-owned private property located at 5636 Route 7 in Pittsford.

Flanders’ 12-year-old daughter was a passenger.

Flanders stopped the ATV near the residence and her 8-year-old son attempted to get onto the ATV from the right side.

As the 8-year-old boarded the ATV, he mistakenly grabbed the right handlebar grip and throttle control, causing the ATV to accelerate with all three subjects on board.

Flanders was unable to control the ATV as it traveled onto and across Route 7 from the driveway of the residence. The ATV overturned in the roadway throwing all three passengers onto the ground. The ATV and all three passengers landed at the edge of the roadway.

Flanders appeared to have to non-life threatening injuries and was transported to the Rutland Regional Medical Center. The juvenile children received minor injuries and were transported to the hospital as a precaution.

None of the riders were wearing helmets. This incident remains under investigation.

Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Stephenson at the Vermont State Police-Rutland, 773-9101.

Motorcycle accident in Granville GRANVILLE — On June 3 at 2:03 p.m., Vermont State Police responded to a single motorcycle crash on Route 100 in Granville. The operator, Tibor Pelle was travelling south on Route 100 on a 2014 Kawasaki motorcycle and travelled off the weest side of the roadway into a ditch. He received minor injuries and the motorcycle was damaged on both sides. State Police were assisted by the Granville Fire Department.

Middle school students from Chittenden and Addison counties gathered by the Lake Champlain waterfront with mindfulness coach Elvira Tripp O’Leary, Susie Therrien, and Healing Winds Vermont board member, Capt. Glen Findholt.

The students’ task was to scrub and ready for the season the 28.5’ sailing vessel “Jubilee” while practicing awareness and self-improvement.

“Unfortunately many of us have been touched by cancer, directly or indirectly,” said O’Leary. “Today we had the opportunity to set our intention for making this boat as clean as we could for those who will be on it, and wish them some peace in recovery.”

The students’ day of rigorous academics is accompanied with daily physical training and mindfulness.

Abenaki Heritage: celebrating indigenous roots Abenaki Heritage Weekend, June 25-26 lou@suncommunitynews.com

VERGENNES — For centuries, the Abenaki people have inhabited the lands of northern Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine, Quebec and the Maritime areas of Canada. This native people calls our region Wabanahkik, an eastern Algonquian language term which roughly translates to Dawn Land in English and Terres Aube in French.

Today, there are Abenakis living and working in our region—many are of mixed ancestry, but all trace their heritage to before the Anglo-French colonial era.

Today, Abenakis gather every year at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum (LCMM) near Vergennes to present their own voices, history and heritage to the public.

LCMM will celebrate Abenaki Heritage Weekend 2016, June 25-26.

The event, which welcomes native artists, crafters, storytellers, and dancers, will help us answer important questions, such as what does it mean to be Indian in the Green Mountain State and what does it mean to be an indigenous artist?

During the June 25-26 gathering, members of Vermont’s Abenaki community will gather at LCMM,10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday, and 10 a.m.–4 p.m., on Sunday.

Abenaki Heritage Weekend marks a unique annual moment to celebrate this local community.

“Visitors are encouraged to participate,” said LCMM spokesperson Eloise Beil. “They may be invited to join a drumming circle, join in a song and try their hand at stringing wampum or creating a design, or working to create designs in clay.”

For the visiting public—of either Abenaki or non-Abenaki descent—the highlight of the gathering is a one-of-a-kind native arts marketplace, sponsored by the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association “Indigenous artists no longer need to choose between traditional and contemporary art forms,” according to Vera Longtoe Sheehan, of the Elnu Abenaki Tribe, and founder of the Vermont Abenaki Artists Association. “Many of us practice both, and our contemporary art is informed by tradition.”

According to Sheehan, visitors will enjoy the market where they can talk to artists, watch craft demonstrations, purchase native beadwork, quillwork, jewelry, basketry, woodworking, and learn more about the venerable and wise ways of the Abenaki people.

As a footnote, Vera Longtoe Sheehan’s husband, Roger Longtoe Sheehan, is chief of the Abenaki Elnu tribe of southern Vermont. This tribe includes 50 family members. This year, Elnu members will be on hand and present storytelling, food preparation, crafts and other “lifeways” —all in the LCMM Pine Grove area—during the weekend-long event.

Sheehan noted that all weekend long, she and others will enjoy songs and drumming, storytelling, cooking demonstra-

Each year, Abenakis gather at the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum near Vergennes to present their history and heritage directly to the public. This year, LCMM will celebrate Abenaki Heritage Weekend, June 25-26. Pictured: Visitors with native artists at a Abenaki Heritage Weekend.

tions, youth activities, and demonstrations by Abenaki artists and artisans.

Beil added that there will be plenty of other attractions and activities to engage curious visitors, such as drumming, dancing and singing led by the Nulhegan Drum group.

For Vermont gardeners and localvores, a garden of heirloom plants—which boasts corn, squash, beans and pumpkins, and more—will be presented by Dr. Frederick M. Wiseman, director of the Wôbanakik Heritage Center in Swanton.

Wiseman is expert in rediscovering today’s sources for ancient local crops.

Among the centerpieces of the weekend will be “Always in Fashion”, an illustrated program about clothing and accessories worn by the original people of northern New England and neighboring areas of Canada.

The new fashion exhibit showcases images and original garments and accessories gathered by Wiseman for the Wôbanakik Center collection. (Outfits designed and created in recent years for ceremonial use and field testing will also be presented via slides, music, and video.)

Background about the LCMM event is part of the weekend’s story, too.

Beil said that the Abenaki event began in 2007 when the museum decided that it was

appropriate to recognize the first navigators on Lake Champlain.

At that time, she added, LCMM Executive Director Art Cohn felt that, with the approaching 400th anniversary of Samuel de Champlain arrival on the lake, it was vital to present the indigenous heritage. In 2007, Vermont Abenaki birch-bark canoe builder Aaron York built a native canoe on the museum grounds. Today, you can view this 22 -feet-long masterpiece inside the museum.

Long overdue, the State of Vermont finally got around to officially recognizing the Abenaki people’s tribal status in 2011.

However, to date, the U.S. government has only recognized the Penobscot Indian Nation and the Passamaquoddy People as “federally recognized tribes” in the USA; they are tribes of the Wabanaki Confederacy, a league of five native nations.

Check it Out: The Lake Champlain Maritime Museum is located at 4472 Basin Harbor Rd., near Vergennes (Ferrisburgh). To learn more about Abenaki Heritage Weekend, call 475-2022 or visit online at lcmm.org.

The week in Sports

Vermont Sun Triahtlon kicks off From News & Staff Reports lou@suncommunitynews.com

SALISBURY — Vermont Sun Fitness Centers staged their first two Triathlons of the season Saturday with the sprint distance, Vermont Sun Triathlon and the Olympic distance, Lake Dunmore Triathlon. The events were held simultaneously at Branbury State Park on Lake Dunmore, June 18.

Jason Franks, 33, of Burlington completed the sprint race in 59 minutes and 44 seconds, breaking the one hour mark for the third time in his career. That hour mark has only been broken eleven times in over 15,000 finishes and only one other athlete (Steve Hare 1995 and 1996) has done it more than once. Franks was never challenged as he was first to complete the 600 yard swim in 7:21, had the day’s fastest 14 mile bike (33:01) and the second best run (18:20). Still he was a little disappointed as he fell short of his ultimate goal, breaking the course record of 59:04 set by Darby Thomas in 2006. The closest Franks came was 2013 when he missed by just 7 seconds (59:11).

“I know I can do it, I missed by 40 seconds this time. I felt good and conditions were pretty good today but, with a little tail wind or having someone else push me, I can get it” Commented Franks, who wasn’t sure if he’d be back for either of the other two Vermont Sun sprints in July or August.

The top four men posted outstanding times. Clement Naullet, 33, of Essex Jct. was the second best man in 1:02:33. Former race winners Peter Dodds, 46, of Burlington was third in 1:02:54 and Corry Coffey, 39, of Vergennes claimed forth in

1:04:00. Coffey broke through with his first win last year after many second place finishes. His 34:00 bike time was second best.

The women’s race was dominated by 25 year old Megan Boucher of St. Johnsbury. She trailed Michelle Rosowsky, 49, by 21 seconds after swim but, then posted the fastest women’s bike (38:27) and run (18:40) times. Rosowsky was second in 1:11:07 and Dot Martin, 56, of Montpelier claimed third in 1:15:48.

Wendy Schneider, 47, of Ripton used the women’s third fastest bike (41:56) to take 5th overall. She had the seventh best swim (10:49) and run (25:20). Lisa Caitri,48, of Cornwall placed fifth in the women’s 45-48 age group in 2:30:15. Conner Burleigh, 27, of Brandon placed third in men’s 25-29 in 1:311:20.

In the Olympic distance Jeff Jones, 26, from Washington Illinois had the fastest bike and run times of the day to make up for his slow start in the 1600 yard swim. He was 11th out of the water, 7 minutes behind the leader Brian Keats, 37, of Winooski. Jones made up over five minutes on the 28 mile bike with a 1:11:17 time and another three minutes on the 6.2 mile run (41:30) to win by just over a minute in 2:26:28 to Keats 2:27:33.

federal forest, where the annual gathering of the Rainbow Family of Living Light is being held.”

The Rainbow Family has been an annual, counter-culture “hippie” gathering in the Green Mountain Forest since the 1990s. Over the years, the Rainbow Family gatherings have been associated with local reports of illegal drugs and nudity.

Alberico said that the dog was located and police were able to arrest Melanie Vangel, 20, of Camden, Maine.

The dog was hungry but otherwise healthy when it was returned to caring shelter staff located in Pittsford.

This was not the first theft of an animal from the RCHS facility located a short distance from U.S. Route 7, on Stevens Road, in rural Pittsford. Less than 10 years ago, a dog and a cat had been stolen and later recovered alive.

Since the first incident, RCHS had installed an alarm system. However, Fred’s theft occurred during normal business hours when shelter doors are open.

According to Sgt. Alberico, “The RCHS employees gave us a very good description—they had 98 percent of the license plate number. They described the individual—as a possible hiker—and not well kempt, maybe even living on a trail. We knew that the Rainbow Family was in Mt. Tabor and we sent out a “be on the lookout” bulletin. While Rutland sheriff works on a different radio channel and wasn’t aware of our report, a deputy luckily stopped a vehicle for littering which matched the VW description. Once they knew, the Sheriff ’s Office confirmed it was the car with a dog like Fred. Indicators pointed to the VW to the festival. So, the deputy didn’t know the dog was stolen. Law enforcement then checked out campsites being set up for the Rainbow gathering.

Before Fred went missing, a RCHS staff member had heard one of the visitors to the shelter utter the phrase, “We need to get out of here.”

The staffer didn’t think much of the uttering until the dog was not found in its kennel. However, another staffer noticed entry had been made through a staff-members-only door. The staffer also noticed that a car, with Maine license plates, had been in the parking lot.

RCHS’ Goodman immediately reported the incident to police; a plea was then posted on the Humane Society’s website within a few minutes of the incident: “Three individuals in a dark colored, mid-sized Volkswagen, came into the RCHS Adoption Center and stole Fred from his kennel through a staff only entrance. It happened June 16 at approximately 12:30 p.m. The car has Maine license plates on it,” according to the website notice.

RCHS reported that Fred the dog is a new guest at the animal facility.

The dog arrived on May 25 from another part of the U.S. as part of a national humane program of moving animals from overcrowded shelters.

RCHS director’s Goodman was relieved after hearing news of Fred’s swift recovery, on the same day that the dog went missing.

Sgt. Alberico said that Vangel was issued a citation to appear in Rutland Superior Court, Criminal Division on July 25 to answer the charge of petite larceny.

“The Vermont State Police would like to thank everyone for their help and support throughout this investigation,” Alberico said.

Bridge Damaged From page 1

A short time later, after a report by the game wardens, Trooper Cric arrived on the scene to investigate.

Pouliot performed field sobriety exercises and provided a preliminary breath sample of .182 percent.

Pouliot was taken into custody on suspicion of driving under the influence, second offense. A DMV check of his license indicated he was also under criminal suspension from a prior DUI. Pouliot was cited to appear in court to answer to the charges.

The historic bridge is known by various names and appears to have no official designation: Cornwall-Salisbury Covered Bridge, Station Bridge, Creek Road Bridge, Cedar Swamp Bridge and Salisbury Station Bridge.

Architects refer to the bridge’s superstructure as a “town lattice truss” with twin spans 77 feet long.

Prior to vandalism repairs in 2009, a pier had been added to the span in 1970.

has, unfortunately, been followed by slow-walking of other requests in Vermont, and state after state where their attorney general is involved in this conspiracy to stop dissent using RICO statutes.”

The group claims attorneys general from a coalition called AGs United for Clean Power are “facing pressure to not follow their own laws in order to keep secret public documents the public has a right to see.” The prior records reveal employees in the New York Attorney General’s Office pressured Vermont to withhold records from public disclosure, but Vermont employees initially refused on the grounds that it was against the law and could attract lawsuits.

Schnare said he thinks Sorrell and Kline are covering up their interactions with environmental groups interested in advancing climate change policies and silencing opponents.

“We don’t know all that we will find once we pry loose the public records the Vermont AG should release, but we believe it will further expose the collusion among the AGs and the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and an assorted group of plaintiffs’ attorneys.

“The AGs and the attorneys want to cash in on a pattern of intimidation, while the Rockefeller Brothers and the environmental groups they fund think they will benefit from their attempts to silence scientists and public interest groups that defend quality science and sensible regulation.”

Representatives from the Vermont Office of Attorney General did not return Watchdog’s request for comment.

On March 29, attorneys general from 15 states, the Dis-

trict of Columbia and the U.S. Virgin Islands met at a climate change conference in New York and announced a coalition called AGs United for Clean Power. The meeting, co-sponsored by Schneiderman and Sorrell, revealed that the attorneys are collaborating to investigate whether fossil fuel companies have misled investors and the public about climate change.

Schnare said the investigations amount to an attack on constitutionally guaranteed rights of free speech and free association for leaders from ExxonMobil and various think tanks.

“By squelching the speech of those who disagree with you, you win. That’s a terrible goal for the academy, for those engaged in legitimate debate on public issues, and more fundamentally, for those who both defend and depend on our Constitution,” he said.

“Since the days of McCarthyism, the courts have rejected the notion that the right to associate is open to limitation.”

Schnare claims that even “liberal attorneys” find the use of racketeering laws in this situation unconstitutional and “unworthy of a competent attorney general.”

He took a swipe at Vermont’s government, claiming it is not being a leader but “a follower,” and added that Sorrell’s collusion with environmental groups would likely be prosecutable under the same RICO laws the AGs United for Clean Power seek to use against political opponents.

“Aren’t you part of a legal conspiracy to harm the constitutional rights of others, making you subject to RICO?” he said, posing a question for Sorrell.

The case is currently pending in Washington Superior Court.

Guest viewpoint

Shining light on the dark side of solar power

W

hen the Legislature considered the recommendations of the Solar Siting Task Force, which was established in response to increasing citizens opposition to the wildfire-like spread of solar arrays, an important aspect of Vermont’s solar policy is being completely ignored—the Ponzi scheme of subsidies that props up this industry.

If the Legislature would focus on who’s paying for all these solar panels and how much it is costing us, it would become obvious that solar panels are a waste of taxpayers’ and ratepayers’ money for the environmental benefits achieved.

In an effort to unravel the Gordian knot of solar project economics and legal jargon, I came across a pro-solar website that lists the incentives for solar on a state by state basis, and grades states according to the generosity of their subsidies.

Not surprisingly Vermont gets high marks. The solar proponents at Solar Power Rocks claim a 9.9 percent internal rate of return over the projected 25-year life of a typical 5-kW (5 kilowatt) residential solar project, which costs about $20,000 to install. “The internal rate of return for this investment is an amazing 9.9%.”

With banks offering 0 percent on savings accounts 9.9 percent is a very enticing prospect these days. It is not surprising that Vermonters are signing up in droves in response to the advertising campaigns of solar panel providers.

But a different picture emerges when the sources of funds that support this industry are examined, and when a much less costly alternative for achieving the same environmental benefit is considered.

Using the 5-kW installation referenced in the website, following is a breakdown on the subsidies that make this $20,000 investment so attractive: If you invest in a 5-kW, $20,000 solar installation you are eligible for a first year federal tax credit of 30 percent, or $6,000.

Then, over time, in addition to the savings for generating your own electricity which offsets the cost of the solar panels, you make an additional $27,000. “Over 25 years, your system will have produced over $27,000 in income, after your system cost is paid back.” This money comes from the following sources: Your electric utility is required to pay you 5.3 cents per kilowatt hour (kWh) for all the electricity your panels produce for 10 years. This money comes from your neighbors who don’t have solar panels.

In addition to the 5.3 cents per kWh payment, the utility is required to credit your account (which may include prop-

erty other than your residence) for all of your excess electricity for the same amount they would charge you for it, about 18 cents per kWh. However, this includes not only the retail price of the electricity but also the cost of operating the business and providing the lines, poles, transformers and repairs to the transmission system. This overhead cost is shared by your neighbors who don’t have solar panels.

Allow taxpayers and ratepayers to keep their money instead of subsidizing their neighbors’ solar panels and instead encourage the Legislature to allow taxpayers to take a yearly tax credit for $106 through the Nature Conservancy’s Planta-Billion Trees program or a similar program.

You are given free Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) for each kWh generated, which can be sold (currently for about 4 cents per kWh) to fossil fuel generators who are required to purchase them to offset their own emissions. The fossil fuel generators then increase the price of their electricity to make up for the cost of the RECs, making electricity more expensive for your neighbors who don’t have solar panels. If you sell your RECs you cannot claim to be generating renewable energy with your solar panels.

Towns are not allowed to collect education property taxes for the value of your panels even though they add $20,000 to the value of your property. This increases the school tax burden on your neighbors who don’t have solar panels.

The state charges no sales tax for the roughly $15,000 worth of equipment, which is a loss of revenue that must be borne by all other taxpayers.

These subsidies add up to profits which are many thousands of dollars more than the retail value of the electricity produced by the solar panels. It’s free money for the solar panel buyers, so who can blame them for taking advantage of such a windfall? After all, solar panels are providing environmental benefits like reducing carbon dioxide, right?

However, as the above mentioned website perhaps inadvertently points out, there is a much cheaper and simpler way of accomplishing the same environmental benefit. According to Solar Power Rocks, a 5-kW solar installation will have the same environmental benefit as planting 106 trees each year.

“On top of the green that will stay in your pocket, your system will mean green for the environment, too – 106 treesworth, every year.”

So how much are 106 trees worth? The Nature Conservancy’s Plant a Billion Tree program plants trees for $1 each on average: “One dollar is an average cost for a tree; actual cost

depends on the location of the project and what kind of tree being planted.

Here’s a suggestion. Let’s stop littering Vermont’s high value landscape with solar panels. Allow taxpayers and ratepayers to keep their money instead of subsidizing their neighbors’ solar panels and instead encourage the Legislature to allow taxpayers to take a yearly tax credit for $106 through the Nature Conservancy’s Plant-a-Billion Trees program or a similar program. If, over the projected 25-year life of a 5-kW solar project, the state instead provided tax credits for planting trees, the cost would be only $2,650 compared to taxpayer subsidies and income redistribution schemes that cost $27,000 – 10 times more expensive than planting trees.

Of course, if you want to buy solar panels to reduce or eliminate your own dependence on the grid, that’s your choice.

But the rest of us should not be forced by state government to pay for your personal choice.

For those who say we should not turn our backs on “free” federal subsidies, regardless of the deficit spending that created or perpetuates them, imagine you are driving along and you see a sack of money worth $6,000 marked “U.S. Treasury” alongside the road. Would you be fiscally and morally responsible and return the money to the rightful owner, the U.S. taxpayer, or would look around to make sure no one was watching, grab the money, and then put up some solar panels?
