Connor Solimano

RHS student appointed to Education Board

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

RUTLAND — Connor Solimano, a Rutland High School student, has been appointed to a student seat on the Vermont Board of Education. Solimano, a RHS junior, will occupy one of two of the seats designated for student appointments.

While the new appointment is a non-voting, one-year term, Solimano can move on to become a voting board member. A student becomes a voting member during his/her final year in high school.

The appointment of Solimano was made by Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) June 23.

Shumlin said that Solimano is involved in RHS student government and also spends personal time working as student representative on Rutland City Public Schools Board.

The governor praised Solimano for his commitment to school and community. Shumlin said the student is “a rising star” in the Rutland area.

Vermont concealing number of refugees with TB

Serving more than 30,000 Readers Weekly

GOING, GOING, G—...

By Bruce Parker

Vermont Watchdog Report

BURLINGTON — Epidemiologists at the Vermont Department of Health are concealing the number of refugees with contagious active tuberculosis disease nearly a month after Watchdog reported that more than one-third of Vermont’s resettled refugees test positive for TB. The development comes as Rutland Mayor Christopher Louras and the city’s Board of Aldermen are weighing whether or not to let residents vote on accepting 100 Syrian refugees in October. Louras says letting the people of Rutland vote on the issue is “offensive.”

RUTLAND COUNTY — The Rainbow Family of Moving Light has been described by some observers as one the most desultory families on planet Earth. The loose community’s annual national gathering is being held in the foothills of Mt. Tabor in the midst of thousands of wild acres of the Green Mountain National Forest.

While the normal population of the Town of Mt. Tabor is approximately 203 people, that population was expected to grow to 10,203 over the July 4 weekend. The event was expected to wrap up on July 6.

An increased law enforcement presence, primarily along U.S. Route 7 south of Wallingford to just north of Manchester, was visible to motorists beginning during the last week of June. Hitchhikers to the gathering —clad in everything from Old Testamentstyle cloaks and Jesus sandals to jeans and t-shirts—have been reported.

Rutland Connector bus celebrates a decade of service

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — It doesn’t seem like a decade, but 10 years have passed since the start of Addison County Transit Resources’ (ACTR) and Marble Valley Regional Transit District’s Rutland Connector Bus’ service.

The successful public transit program began linking the two communities in 2006.

Starting July 11, both transportation agencies will fete patrons of the Rutland Connector with their 10th anniversary Rider Appreciation Week.

From July 11-15, a Connector rider may submit a raffle entry to win a Kindle Fire HD device. The winning names will be announced after July 15. On July 15, a free tote bag will be given to each Connector rider while supplies last.

“Since 2006, the Connector Bus has linked Middlebury, East Middlebury, Salisbury, Leicester, Brandon, Pittsford and Rutland along the Route 7 corridor,” according to Mary-Claire Crogan, ACTR community rela-

tions manager. “Originally the route offered weekday a.m. and p.m. commuter service.

Strong ridership led to more state investment in 2008 and 2013 to expand services during the middle of the day and on Saturdays.”

Crogan noted that several factors have contributed to the roughly 36-mile-long route’s popularity.

“Convenient Park and Ride stops in East Middlebury, Salisbury, Leicester, and Brandon and employer perks, such as Middlebury College’s transit commuter benefit (make it a success),” she said.

“We are gratified to see how well this service meets the needs of so many commuters and other riders between Middlebury and Rutland,” said Executive Director Jim Moulton. “It means we are helping people and improving their quality of life.”

Pictured at right: From July 11-15, a Rutland Connector bus rider may submit a raffle entry to win a Kindle Fire HD10. The winning names will be announced after July 15. On July 15, a free tote bag will be given to each Connector rider while supplies last.

Vermont’s ‘blood stones’ born under heat, pressure Previously: In 1991, the Vermont Legislature designated the garnet as the official state gemstone. The garnet was crowned king of Vermont’s gems under House Bill No. 678 submitted by State Reps. Michael Obuchowski and Sean Campbell. This week we conclude our look at the occurence of local garnets.

RUTLAND — Geologists describe garnets as “silicates of varying chemistry.” The stones occur in a variety of rocks— here in Vermont, they are found most notably in Rutland County in roadcuts along Route 103; they pop out in metamorphic gneiss and schist rock. Inject geothermal water during the formation of garnets, deep in the earth, and some very large crystals may result.

During the late 19th and early 20th century, garnets found in Rutland County—called “blood stones” by local residents in those days—were mined and used in the manufacture of sandpaper. Several fine stones have been found along Route 103 near the hamlet of Gassetts.

Garnets occur in an ancient rock porridge wherever there was “contact metamorphism” on both sides of Lake Champlain. So, where high temperatures reigned supreme deep inside Earth you’ll find garnets today.

Regionally, garnets were discovered near Lake George by

H.H. Barton during the 1850s, but many claim that Vermont’s garnets were discovered even earlier, during the 1820s.

Some Adirondack stones rank among the largest garnet crystals ever found—for example, a 36-inch crystal on display in the New York State Museum in Albany.

Most of the world’s industrial garnets come from H.H. Barton‘s Gore Mountain ore body located near Lake George.

Garnets aren’t just nice additions to jewelry—they have practical uses, too.

After milling, garnets can be used in sandpaper and glass, as polishing agents, and on non-skid surfaces as well. Garnets were used in color television CRT tubes up through the early 2000s. You can find garnets at work removing the tough hulls from peanuts.

Just like Vermont’s official gemstone, the garnet is New York’s official state gemstone, too; it means something special to upstate New Yorkers—a 20-ton block of garnet amphibolite, a metavolcanic rock, was trucked from the Ruby Mountain Mine to New York City in 2004. This slab is now the stunning cornerstone of the new World Trade Center’s 1,776-foot Freedom Tower skyscraper.

Peace, power and choices

I

n the coming weeks, California will decide its energy future. The decision is whether to not to replace nuclear power with solar power. Vermont faced a similar crossroads a few years ago.

The estimated cost to replace nuclear power with solar power in the Golden State has been estimated at $15 billion—that’s a hefty price tag for taxpayers already strapped in the highly taxed State of California.

Vermont made a similar choice a few years ago—well, let’s be honest, certain politicians and lobbyists actually made the decision for us; it was a parlimentary decision made without directly asking the voters, unlike last month’s tectonic “Brexit” vote in the United Kingdom.

Here in Vermont, we’re already in the midst of experiencing the big transition from nuclear (RIP Vermont Yankee) to a mix of alternative energy sources and natural gas. But decentralizing from a concentrated high-power energy source, with a centralized fist-in-glove approach of state control, has been costly and contentious.

Since the closing of Vermont Yankee, the impact on our natural environment has been visible in many parts of the state.

Some folks are heartened when they see acres of solar arrays and wind turbines springing up on former agricultural lands; others are disheartened by these permanent changes to the viewshed. Regardless, the impact of the changes—for good or ill, depending upon your perspective—is tangible.

In the case of California, the state could build several of the new, zero-greenhouse gas emitting Westinghouse-Toshiba “passive-safe” AP-1000 nuclear reactors for the $15 billion price tag they will pay to convert from nuclear to solar. Of course, nuclear energy has its technical and environmental challenges, too, but the decision to abandon it will have consequences.

Westinghouse-Toshiba’s new reactor concept could provide electricity for a large portion of California using only a few acres of land, especially when compared to the amount of land needed to build the equivalent solar capacity.

Unlike existing nuclear power unit designs, the AP-1000 burns less atomic fuel more efficiency leaving less radioactive “ash” behind. Combine that advantage with a new fuel-cycle process developed by engineers at the U.S. Argonne National Laboroatory and it’s a win-win.

The Argonne process would help recycle “waste” into more fuel to burn thus stretching California’s nuclear power supplies well into the future. What waste ends up in the new Argonne process is less radioactive; it decays into harmless by-products in less than 500 years, compared to hundreds of thousands of years currently.

For the sake of discussion, here are three interesting comparisons between nuclear, wind and solar power derived from U.S. Department of Energy and Argonne National Laboratory data: 1. A nuclear power station with a power output of approximately 1,800 megawatts (MW): Number of reactors used, 2. Land used, 1,100 acres (1.7 square miles) 2. Wind Power Station with a power output of 2.5 megawatts: Number of 2.5 MW turbines needed to generate 1,800 MW, 720. Land used,108,000 acres (169 square miles) 3. Solar Power Station with a power output of 1 MW per 7.4 acres. Land used, 13,320 acres (21 square miles).

Choosing our energy future isn’t easy or cheap. Regardless, politics (and politicians) manages to cloud the best, most logical path to navigate.

Meanwhile, Vermont has made its energy choice for the future—so, too, will California in the near future.

The late President John F. Kennedy was an advocate of peaceful nuclear power while opposing nuclear weaponry; he was also a supporter of solar power. His thinking was able to find uses for all available energy souces, where best and safely applied.

In 1963, at a nuclear facility in Hannaford, Wash., just two months before his death, Kennedy spoke these words about choosing our energy future: “We use nuclear power for peaceful purposes and power. We use new techniques to develop new kinds of coal and oil from shale, and all the rest... And from the Sun we are going to find more and more uses for that energy whose power we are so conscious of today.”

Right from wrong

ome days when you read the newspaper, watch the evening news or just watch people and the way they act you just have to shake your head and wonder where we are going as a people and what do we value?

From this 62 year old’s chair we’ve gone way off the path of sanity and into the lane of, well something very different.

Our infatuation with political correctness and the departure from common sense Dan Alexander seems to defy logic.

Thoughts from Our inability to solve the problems we all Behind the Pressline recognize are problems and allowing small political issues and who gets credit holds us back from taking any action of significance. It just boggles the mind and seems so childish.

The lack of true patriotism and respect for our nation and the rights we once held so dear is discouraging.

The lack of trust and the second guessing of our law enforcement and judicial system, hindering them from being the very best they can be to keep us safe from harm is just a shame.

The anger and what appears to be outright demonizing of those we disagree with has gone way over the top.

We’ve turned our backs on our religious institutions, failing to recognize the importance of a supreme being and giving thanks for the blessings we’ve been so fortunate to receive.

Political and corporate corruption, as well as manipulation by officials who believe they are above the law has run rampant.

Work ethic, loyalty, teamwork and pride in the work place and a “can-do attitude” is taking a back seat to cutting corners, coasting, getting by and “it’s good enough attitude.”

We seem to have lost the notion of courtesy, when people put themselves and their interests first, instead of politely offering to let others go ahead of them.

Even the way we dress down these days versus wearing our “Sunday Best” whenever we travel, go to events, church, funerals or just out in public is abhorrent.

In so many ways all of these and so many more detours from what was once considered the accepted behavior of the past is to me just another step to disrespecting each other and the country that we are blessed to live in.

As stewards of this land I fear we are letting down our forefathers who sacrificed so much to provide for our well being and leaving future generation in a much worse shape.

Anyone of these changes is perhaps no major departure from the past but when put altogether it builds toward a future country that is more about me than us and this nation didn’t get here putting me first. It became the land of opportunity and envy of the world because of our ability to watch out for each other and recognize right from wrong.

Gift-of-Life To the editor: With the weather warm upon us, family travel and college and high school schools out on vacation, the need for blood is critically low, but the Gift-of-Life Mini Marathon Blood Drive is fast approaching.

The annual summer blood drive, the offspring of Rutland’s national-record-setting Gift-of-Life Marathon, is set for July 19 from noon to 6 p.m. at the College of St. Joseph.

By participating, you can help save a life – and ensure blood supplies are available to accident victims, cancer and surgery patients and newborns and new mothers.

Rutland City resident Summer Stoutes donated a kidney to Rutland Town resident Brent Garrow in April. Together, they are asking all of their friends, families and supporters to participate in the Mini Marathon.

As Summer recently said, “Each donation means life, or a better life, for someone who needs it...”

Appointments are strongly suggested and may be made by calling 800-RED-CROSS or by visiting www.redcrossblood.org. Walk-ins will be accepted, but appointments help ensure a faster, smoother process.

Please join folks from WJJR-FM, Castleton University and Green Mountain Power as we work to save lives and build community July 19.

Solar viewpoint To the editor: You should have checked the facts before (printing Steve Thurston’s Guest Viewpoint in the Eagle). I just called my solar panel installer and asked where my $27,000 was and got a laugh, especially when I said where I got the idea from—(Mr. Thurston’s commentary).

The sum of $27,000 over 25 years is about $1,000 per year which is more than I paid for electricity from the grid.

I paid for my panels from a savings account, so it can be said that somehow I am ahead.

The bank loan (standard) I started to get would have cost less per month than I spent for electricity, but I spent my savings instead.

Sure, the Fed allowed a one time $6,000 credit, which is for helping to stop the use of fossil fuel and other things.

Green Mountain Power (GMP) pays me for excess electricity from the day which they sell to other customers at 14.8 cents per kWh. which GMP to avoid buying expensive summer power from HQ for 48 cents, saving customers money.

I use some of the amount of excess power I made in the day at night by buying currently generated power back from GMP at 14.8 cents. I don’t get it all back as there is a deduction for use of wires and other hardware.

In other words, other customers are getting a break from my panels. However, a weak point of home panels is that if too many people do net metering (generating in the day and using at night) the power generators have an uneven load. They have to have capacity for the total night load, and dont need as much in the day, so they have to keep generators going all the time, but that point hasnt been reached.

There is a problem with massive solar fields being in places where the distribution lines can’t handle the power.

Another thing is the rule that homeowners shouldn’t become commercial sellers to the grid, so the state is trying to figure out how to delete extra credits from a homeowners bill if too much is generated, and such excess can be donated to a church or sold to a neighbor.

Big solar fields get some breaks that homeowners don’t get, but that wasn’t covered in (Mr. Thurston’s Guest Viewpoint).

Middlebury man reenlists in Nat’l Guard LATHAM, N.Y. — Maj. Gen. Anthony P. German announced the recent reenlistment of members of the New York Army National Guard in recognition of their continuing commitment to serve community, state and nation as part of the Army National Guard.

Staff Sgt. Christian Provoncha from Middlebury, has reenlisted to continue service with the 1156th Engineer Company.

“New Yorkers count on our citizen soldiers (like Staff Sgt. Provoncha of Middlebury, Vt.) to be ready and be there when disaster strikes,” German said. “And our nation counts on our soldiers when duty calls for overseas service. I congratulate them for choosing to stay in service and striking that balance between military duties, education or employment commitments and family obligations.”

Mt. Independence receives USPS funds

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

ORWELL — The historic site of a circa 1770s star-shaped fort, Army hospital, and campsite in Orwell, represents one of the largest fortresses built by American rebels during the Revolutionary War again Great Britain.

Now, thanks to U.S. taxpayers and the National Park Service, $24,000 in funds will help support data gathering and archiving at the historic Mt. Independence site along Lake Champlain. The Mt Independence site looks directly across the lake to Fort Ticonderoga. The two sites were brieflylinked by a floating bridge during the war.

The NPS announced June 23 that $1.19 million grants were being awarded to support various projects at battlefield sites across the nation.

These taxpayer-funded projects will research, document, or interpret dozens of battlefields representing more than 300 years of history.

The Vermont Department of Housing & Community Affairs will receive the $24,000 from the National Park Service to create a comprehensive geospatial map of the southern

portion of Mount Independence along Lake Champlain.

The Orwell site of a former Revolutionary War era starshaped fort, hospital and campsite, represents one of the largest defenses built by the Americans during the Revolutionary War. “Completed in 1777, Mount Independence was a critical site in the naval defense of Lake Champlain and points south. The project will map all landward features using GIS or Geographic Information System software, and the data will be compared to historic maps and archives to assess the engagements along the defenses,” according to Jeremy Barnum of the NPS. GIS software is used to archive, manage, analyse and then display a variety of collected geographic information as well as related spatial data. “GIS software lets you produce maps and other graphic displays of geographic information for analysis and presentation,” according to the Vermont Department of Housing & Community Affairs.

“The resulting product will be crucial for the proper stewardship of the site’s resources and will provide an important platform for future site interpretation and public education,” Barnum said.

Police Reports

Man involved in accident, leaves scene PROCTOR — On June 23, at approximately 7 p.m., members of the Vermont State Police were notified of a single motor vehicle crash, which took place on Route 3 in Proctor.

The complainant advised a single male operator exited the vehicle following the crash, and ran southbound into the woods.

Investigation revealed as the operator was traveling southbound on Vermont Route 3, the vehicle veered to the right shoulder, due to an undetermined reason, and continued off of the roadway. The vehicle then contacted a berm causing damage. Members of the Proctor Volunteer Fire Department responded to assist with the incident.

Due to the attentiveness of the complainant, a description of the male operator was issued to area law enforcement. With assistance from members of the Rutland City and Pittsford Police Departments, the male was located and identified as Michael Lesperance. Lesperance was issued a citation to appear before the Vermont Superior Court, Criminal Division on August 01, 2016, at 0830 hours to answer to the charge of Leaving the Scene of an Accident.

Police cite woman in Kampersville incident SALISBURY — On May 29, at approximately 3:49 p.m., Vermont State Police were advised of a Fight complaint at Kampersville, located at 1457 Lake Dunmore Rd., in Salisbury. The initial complaint information received by police indicated that an ongoing fight involving multiple people at a softball tournament.

Upon arrival, State Police troopers interviewed Jessie Sprigg, 33, of Bristol, and her cousin, identified as Lynn FlemingBarrows.

Sprigg told police that she had been driven down to watch the tournament by her sister, identified as Veronica Sargent.

Sprigg stated that after arriving, she placed her purse in Fleming-Barrows’ vehicle.

During the tournament, she went back to the vehicle to get some money from her purse, when she noticed that her money was gone. Sprigg additionally stated to police that money had been stolen from Fleming-Barrows as well.

Sprigg and Fleming-Barrows stated that they began questioning individuals around the vehicle and that’s when an argument began. Hearing the commotion, Sargent came over to get Sprigg to calm down. In trying to do so, Sprigg began to fight with Sargent. Sargent and Sprigg stated that multiple people intervened to get the two to stop fighting.

After being separated, multiple witnesses stated that Sprigg continued to fight with other people, subsequently hitting Paityn Boyer, 22, of Bristol, in the side of the head.

Witnesses stated that Sprigg began hitting vehicles with beer cans and her fists, police allege.

Sprigg was found to be intoxicated at the time, with a preliminary breath test result of .164 percent at approximately 4:30 p.m.

Sprigg was subsequently cited to appear in court on July 11 and was released to the custody of a friend.

Police arrest Rutland inmate on assault charge RUTLAND — The Vermont State Police responded to the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Center in Rutland and arrested prison inmate William Philburt Jr., 51, for assault on another inmate.

Rainbow Family From page 1

The first such gathering of the family occurred on July 3, 1972, at the peak of Mt. Table in Colorado. It was well attended and the theme of peace and love prevailed.

Some people believe that the Rainbow Family is a continuance of the Hippie movement of the 1960s and early ‘70s. There are certainly similarities like their dress, hairdos, and the urge to merge with nature. However, the 1969 gathering at Woodstock, N.Y., was entirely different than the Rainbow gatherings of today. The Woodstock event was organized, well funded, and featured iconic musicians and singers from many musical genres. Woodstock attendees spent plenty of money between admission, t-shirts, and other memorabilia from the event.

The Rainbow Family offers no products for sale, no admission charge, and anyone can join the movement.

If the above script hasn’t got your attention, then read further. The family does not have an IRS I.D. number identifying them as an organization. They do not have a legal address. Family leaders do not have an e-mail or an Internet presence other than the news media’s various reports. Apparently, there is no recognized leader of the family, past or present.

According to observers of the movement, family business is conducted at the council meeting during the national gather-

www.addision-eagle.com

ing. Everyone who attends the meeting has the right to address the mass and an equal vote in the final rulings. There are no written results of the council meeting.

U.S. Forest Service officials are keenly aware of, and involved with, the Rainbow Family’s presence in the National Forest.

The family insists on holding gatherings high in the mountains without any facilities, such as septic, water or power.

The U.S. Forest Service in Vermont provides the family with a written document spelling out the expectations of the family’s activity such as control and cleanup of the site. The USFS and the family work for approximately a week after the event to insure that cleanup is completed.

The USFS has established a presence at the base of Mt. Tabor.

Every year, USFS officials keep an eye on family gatherings.

Another group involved with every family gathering is the USFS incident command team, a squad of armed federal agents to follow the annual gatherings from state to state.

The Vermont Eagle • July 9, 2016 | 7

USFS agents told news reporters that family gatherings are a law enforcement problem. One officer said that the family does not recognize the laws of this or any country; this fact has caused some “problems” between law enforcement officers and the Rainbow Family.

A gamily gathering attendee spoke to the Eagle at Mt. Tabor June 27 and identified himself as Jai Love, a musician; the man said he originally came from Oregon.

Jai Love has been living in a converted school bus for the past five years. He professes to be a singer and songwriter working on his third recording album. Jai Love performed his newest song, titled “Lifting Up the Pain”, in front of several reporters.

Jai Love said that he was attending his sixth national gathering.

An unidentified, elder Native American woman told the Eagle that the Rainbow Family wants “to get back to nature, (to a time) when the Native Americans lived off the land (with) what Mother Nature provided.”

Police arrest Hannaford shoplifter RUTLAND TOWN — On June 26, at approximately 6:04 p.m., Vermont State Police was notified that transient Adam Mahoney, 24, had been caught shoplifting at the Hannaford Supermarket in Rutland Town.

Upon arrival a member of the Vermont State Police spoke with a store employee who had watched the male in question leave the store with a cart filled with approximately $225 worth of groceries without paying. The male was apprehended outside of the store. A female was also with the male, and had concealed a grocery item, and fled from the store.

Mahoney was cited for retail theft at this time. Anyone with information on the identity of the female involved is asked to contact the Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks, reference case number 16C103312. Surveillance footage of the female is to follow.

Smith earns honors BRISTOL, R.I. — Harper Smith, a resident of Middlebury has been named to the spring 2016 dean’s list at Roger Williams University in Bristol, R.I. Full-time students who complete 12 or more credits per semester and earn a GPA of 3.4 or higher are placed on the dean’s list that semester.

A New and Better Direction FOR VERMONT

Over the last 6 years state spending has increased by more than $700 million, requiring massive increases in taxes, fees and surcharges. Where was Phil Scott? He went along with Gov. Shumlin who increased our state budget by 5 percent, in an economy that is growing at less than 2 percent.

Bruce wouldn’t have done that!

BRUCE WILL:

R Limit spending increases to 2 percent and find another 1.5 percent in efficiencies.

R Stop tax increases.

R Repeal the Veterans’ Retirement Benefits Tax and rollback the tax on Social Security benefits.

R Shut down Vermont Health Connect, transition

to the federal exchange, audit Medicaid, and offer more affordable choices and options.

R Require competitive bidding for state contracts.

“Vermonters deserve better than they have been getting from the usual politicians. I am ready to lead Vermont in a New and Better Direction.”

Guest viewpoint

McClaughry misleads about climate change

A

n individual named John McClaughry, who is affiliated with a Koch Brothers front group called the “Ethan Allan Institute”, did a true disservice to your readership by promoting falsehoods about the topic of human-caused climate change and by making untruthful statements about my own scientific work in his misguided, falsehood-riddled letter (“Reply to Alan Betts”, 6/29/16).

It is difficult to find a single true statement in his rather unhinged screed. Indeed it is mostly just a shameful regurgitation of the standard litany of fossil fuel industry climate denial talking points (“scientists are in it for the money”, “science is never settled”, “climate science is political dogma”, etc.).

Mr. McClaughry attempts to malign both me and the wellknown “hockey stick” temperature curve I published more than a decade ago which demonstrates that recent warming is unusual over at least the past 1000 years. He makes several demonstrably untruthful claims, including his false assertion that I “wouldn’t release [my] data” (that data is and has long been readily available), and falsely claiming that the Hockey Stick was an artifact of a “handful of ancient...tree rings” and

was “skewed to support [my] conclusions”.

Readers are entitled to the truth. Mr. McClaughry, for example, conveniently fails to tell you that the highest scientific body in the U.S., the National Academy of Sciences, affirmed my research findings in an exhaustive independent review published in June 2006 (see e.g. “Science Panel Backs Study on Warming Climate”, New York Times, June 22, 2006).

He also somehow omits the fact that , in the decade and a half since our original published work, dozens of groups of scientists have independently reproduced, confirmed, and extended our findings, including most recently an international team of nearly 80 scientists from around the world, publishing in the premier journal Nature Geoscience.

The most recent report of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, the most authoritative assessment of climate science available, concluded that recent warmth is likely unprecedented over an even longer timeframe than we had concluded (at least the past 1400 years). Compare that reality with Mr. McLaughry’s black-is-white, up-is-down false claim that the “IPCC tiptoed away from [our findings] in their en-

suing reports”.

Once again, the opposite of what Mr. McClaughry wants you to believe is actually true.

Of course, the “Hockey Stick” is only one of numerous independent lines of evidence that have led the world’s scientists to conclude that climate change is (a) real, (b) caused by the burning of fossil fuels, and (c) a grave threat if we do nothing about it.

Readers interested in the truth behind the science, rather than the falsehoods and smears perpetuated by shills like McClaughry, should consult scientist-run websites like skepticalscience.com, or books on the topic like my own “Dire Predictions: Understanding Climate Change”. Let’s get past the fake debate about whether the problem exists, and on to the worthy debate about what to do about it.

Vermont Watchdog From page 1

Earlier this month, Watchdog revealed that 35 percent of Vermont’s incoming refugees in the past four years tested positive for tuberculosis. How many of those cases are contagious and symptomatic, however, remains a secret, as state epidemiologists and top officials at the Health Department have spent weeks blocking efforts to obtain the data.

Refugees brought to the United States take TB tests as part of comprehensive health screening. For refugees resettled in Vermont, the Department of Health’s Refugee Health Program monitors test results and treats patients who have active TB disease. Unlike latent tuberculosis infection, active TB disease is contagious, symptomatic and even deadly.

The evasions began May 27, when Vermont Watchdog contacted the Health Department to learn how many refugees tested positive for TB in recent years. That inquiry sparked private meetings among state epidemiologists, public health nurses and office staff, who proceeded to conceal the number of contagious active TB disease cases brought to Vermont through the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program.

Health department employees and lawyers included in the communication loop were Health Policy Coordinator Ben Truman, Refugee Health and Health Equity Coordinator Martha Friedman, public health specialist Sally Cook, Communications Director Nancy Erickson, and legal counselors Margaret Vincent and Bessie Weiss.

According to documents obtained through a public records request, state epidemiologist Patsy Kelso sent Watchdog’s May 27 request for data to Laura Ann Nicolai, deputy state epidemiologist and head of the tuberculosis control program. Nicolai met with department staff and legal counsel that day and the following week to concoct a plan to hide the number of refu-

www.addison-eagle.com

gees with active TB disease.

“This doesn’t say that he wants to know how many cases were identified, so I wouldn’t offer it. If he asks it would be important to explain that latent infection is not reportable,” Nicolai wrote to the team on May 27.

As team members contemplated an official response, Nicolai drafted bulleted talking points to explain the difference between active TB disease and latent TB infection, and Truman suggested the possibility of making Watchdog file a public records request to obtain data.

After deliberation, the team agreed to reveal the number of refugees testing positive for TB but conceal the number of refugees with contagious active TB disease.

When the team conferred again on May 31, Nicolai discussed what to do if Watchdog wanted “additional information on TB disease specifically.”

“If the reporter wants additional information on TB disease specifically then either Sally or I would be happy to talk with him. We could discuss the difference between latent and active infection, etc. or any of the talking points I provided on Friday,” Nicolai wrote.

She added: “If at any point along the way he changes what he wants and decides he’d like additional data, such as the number of active cases among refugees, then we can cross that bridge when we come to it.”

The draft response, completed an hour and a half later, included four years of refugee TB blood test results and bulleted information explaining the difference between latent and active TB. Excluded from the response was the number of refugees with active TB disease.

When Truman delivered the Health Department’s June 1 response to Watchdog without the number of active TB disease cases, Watchdog asked for “actual numbers of refugee active TB cases per year, starting at FY2011 and ending in FY2016.”

Truman, according to plan, replied: “To address the scope

Published by New Market Press, Inc.

of the additional information you want, please submit this as a formal public records request.”

With the limited information provided, Watchdog reported that 318 refugees out of about 900 admitted to Vermont since 2013 — or 35.4 percent — tested positive for tuberculosis. Regarding active TB cases, the article included the only statistic offered by the Health Department — a comfortingly low incidence statistic of 5.4 cases per year over five years. That statistic includes Vermonters only, not refugees with active TB disease.

When Nicolai conferred with the team on June 3, she tells Truman: “This is the average for active cases among all Vermonters. It does not specify that this is the average number of cases among refugees. Should this be clarified?”

Truman replied: “I suggest any further info be in the context of responses to any PRR [public records request] he may choose to make. To my knowledge, none has been made at this time.”

Watchdog filed a public records request on June 9, asking again for the statistical number of active TB disease cases among resettled refugees. The Health Department’s response, delivered June 23 “on behalf of the Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Health,” did not provide the data.

The response did reveal the team’s evasion efforts, however, captured in this series of emails.

The responsive records also revealed that Truman sent the team’s original June 1 response to Watchdog to John Walters, a self-described liberal blogger writing at the Vermont Political Observer. Walters subsequently wrote a June 4 blog entry that advanced the Health Department’s talking points and accused Watchdog of “fearmongering.”

Watchdog has additional records requests pending at the Department of Health and plans to report the annual number of active TB disease cases among refugees resettled in Vermont over the past five years.
