Rutland Herald in turmoil By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com
RUTLAND — Owners of the struggling Rutland Herald and Montpelier Times-Argus have another challenge—meeting payroll. Several news sources, including WCAX-TV and Seven Days reported that employees of both papers have not received timely paychecks. An employee walkout was also reported Aug. 5. According to a Seven Days report, the problems were compounded when Alan Keays, the Rutland Herald’s news editor, was fired after approving a news story about his employer’s financial woes. A Herald subscriber, who preferred to remain anonymous, told the Eagle Aug. 8 that he did not receive the Aug. 6 edition of the paper at his home in Pittsford. The Burlington Free Press reported that truck drivers were not paid and hence Saturday, Aug. 6, edition went undelivered. “It’s not surprising in this day in age that a (paid) print newspaper is having problems with financial problems or otherwise,” said Lisbeth Dodd, a Montpelier subscriber told WCAX in a broadcast report over the weekend. Since June, both newspapers cut back on print editions. The Rutland Herald newsroom did not return calls from the Eagle.

Minter’s ARE YOU BEING SERVED? gun control ad garners attention By Michael Bielawski bparker@watchdog.org
MONTPELIER — An ad released last week by Democrat gubernatorial candidate Sue Minter makes some bold charges about gun violence, particularly regarding domestic violence. Gun-rights advocates say that while Minter’s claims contain a kernel of fact, its lack of context make the ad highly misleading. “It happens every day, behind closed doors,” Minter says in the ad. “Domestic violence causes the most homicide in Vermont and half of them involve guns. We need to keep guns away from abusers and require background checks on all gun sales.” While she’s speaking, text on-screen specifies that 57 percent of domestic violence homicides in Vermont are gun-related.

“Harlan County USA” filmmaker is festival’s guest By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com
Barbara Kopple
MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury New Filmmakers Festival made its debut splash last summer. Now this summer’s second edition is about to pass through the Moviola’s film gate without missing a sprocket or the movie reel’s cue mark. Headlining the festival, Aug. 27-28, at Dana Auditorium will be featured guest filmmaker Barbara Kopple. Kopple made her mark with the awardwinning documentary “Harlan County, USA”. The Festival will showcase the film’s 40th anniversary celebration—quite an major Movieland event for this fledgling film fest. According to Festival spokesperson Phoebe Lewis, Kopple will screen three of her coveted documentaries at the Festival this month. “Released in 1976 as Kopple’s first feature film, �Harlan County USA’ chronicled the bitter 1974
strike of Kentucky coal mine workers that began when the Eastover Mining Co. refused to sign a standard union contract,” according to Lewis. “�Harlan County, USA’” won the Academy Award for Best Documentary; in 1991, the U.S. Library of Congress named it to the National Film Registry. The film was also named one of the top five documentaries of all time by the International Documentary Association in 2007.” Kopple and her crew spent several years in Harlan County working with the families appearing in the heartbreaking film. The one-time screening of “Harlan County, USA” will take place Saturday, Aug. 27 at 130 p.m. at Town Hall Theater in downtown Middlebury. Lewis noted that following the screening, Festival organizers will present a live performance on stage by David Morris.

GMP rate increase follows two years of decreases RUTLAND — Green Mountain Power officials announced a new rate plan that calls for a 0.93 percent increase in electric bills. The filing, which is subject to Public Service Board approval, will take effect on Oct. 1, 2016, and follows two consecutive years where customers have seen bills decrease. The proposal is part of the company’s overall commitment to keep rates low and stable for customers and if approved, customers will be paying 1 percent less next year than they were paying in 2012. The announcement represents a focus on protecting Vermonters from high-energy costs. This includes a 0.03 percent decrease in base rates driven by merger savings and finding operational efficiencies. The 0.96 percent increase in the power adjuster is the result of higher transmission costs and increased costs associated with the net-metering program. Compared to Vermont, other northeastern states are facing rate increases.

FERRISBURGH —Fifteen teens and adults from Addison County went on our seventh United Methodist Action Reach Out Mission by Youth (UMARMY) to Claremont, N.H.Teens and adults who went for their first to seventh time, all had a fun and meaningful week, ending July 23. The oldest youth which included Daniel Emmell, Megan McIntyre, Sofie Wolak, Elise Martin and Nora Hatch with sophisticated construction projects. This year teens built multiple sets of stairs for low income and elderly clients who were very appreciative. The group’s younger youth were Olivia Paine, Jennifer and Lily Steadman, Erich Reitz and Sophie Hatch and did painting and yard work for appreciative clients. The youth had the support of the entire North Ferrisburgh, Vergennes, and West Addison United Methodist churches. North Ferrisburgh UMC sent the following adults along, Clare Conner, Scott Emmell, Rob McKay, Chris Steadman and Rev. Kim Hornung-Marcy. “We had a total of 58 teens and adults in Claremont from eight churches from Vermont and other Northeastern states,” according to Hornung-Marcy. “The Claremont United Methodist, Episcopal and Catholic churches and the local High school provided space for sleeping, eating and program. Our campers completed 34 service projects, and enjoyed worship, singing and games as well.” Thursday night, the Addison County group fed around 120 people as we invited the Mayor of Claremont, the town manager, among others, for dinner.

From the Editor
Caveat emptor
B
y the time you read this editorial, the voters will have picked their candidate for governor in the 2016 primary, either Lt. Gov. Phil Scott or businessman Bruce Lisman. Both candidates have a lot to offer the state, but the level of discord and accusations have tainted the expected collegiality among Republicans. Perhaps it has its roots in the top of the ticket with presidential candidate Donald Trump causing more unrest among the GOP faithful—they appear to either love him or hate him. In the campaign of Republican gubernatorial candidates, Lisman has attacked Scott for not releasing what he claims is a legal document that he says would prevent conflicts of interest and allow the construction firm, that he co-owns, to continue receiving millions of dollars in taxpayer-funded state contracts if he is elected governor. The Lisman campaign had asked Scott to make the plan public by Aug. 6. As of Aug. 8, Scott had not taken the Lisman bait. Lisman’s Campaign Manager Shawn Shouldice, told the Eagle that, “It is insulting to voters that Mr. Scott continues to withhold details of how he will address his very obvious conflict of interest. This is a matter of serious public interest. It bears directly on the issues of transparency and accountability in government, taxpayer protection, and the ethical standards that Vermonters expect of their elected officials. “It is clear that the only way Phil can rid himself of this inherent conflict is for his company to stop pursuing state government contracts or to sell his stake in the company. It’s disappointing that Phil is unwilling to take either step,” Shouldice said. Scott is following Trump’s lead by not disclosing personal and financial details which his opponent believes are vital for voters to access in order to make a decision at the ballot box. Alas, it’s politics as usual. When it comes to choosing our candidates both locally and nationally, the venerable Latin graffito— found scribbled on a well-preserved wall in the marketplace of the ancient city of Pompeii—seems to readily apply: “Caveat emptor”.

TaxÊ andÊ spendÊ
To the editor: When I recently heard about the latest state budget deficit, I was, again, reminded of the unique character of our Vermont Democratic Party. In other states, the Democrats are known as the “tax and spend” party. However, here in Vermont they are of the “spend, then tax” variety. It’s time for a change. Jim Peabody, Sr. Bristol
VermontÊ taxes
To the editor: Tax, tax, tax; when will Vermont politicians stop talking about taxing the people� We are ranked 49th in economic outlook, we have increased taxes by $644 million over the past five years, and we have some of the highest property taxes in the nation. Recently, Lt. Gov. Phil Scott (R) discussed the idea of implementing a mileage tax. This tax would require that Vermonters report the number of miles they drive and pay a tax in relation to that number. This tax is a response to increases in innovation of fuel efficient vehicles that affect revenue received from carbon and gas taxes. This is ridiculous. This is an example of politicians snuffing technological advancements and innovating their own way of forcing money out of the pockets of hard working Vermonters... Keld Alstrup Manchester

The value of endorsements
T
o what end do we, as voters, value the endorsements candidates receive or give� Presidential Candidate, Ted Cruz refused to give his endorsement to Republican nominee Donald Trump, causing many in the party to declare he committed political suicide, while others felt he stayed true to his convictions. Conversely, Democratic Presidential Candidate, Bernie Sanders threw his overDan Alexander whelming support behind nominee HillThoughts from ary Clinton, and while it may have united Behind the Pressline the party, many believe Sanders sold out his loyal followers by giving in to party demands. One by one we see folks in the spotlight throwing in their two cents with her, him or one of the non-traditional candidates, but do we really care� So many factors go into one’s vote, especially for president since we are bombarded for such a long period of time with so much information. I wonder, if for some people it’s as easy as saying well if so and so is going for {name your candidate here}, well that’s good enough for me and I’ve made my choice� With so many issues and so much time for candidates to fail, succeed and fail again I have to wonder if endorsements at this point even matter much� Let’s face it the debates are going to be earthshaking. With two debates going head to head against the NFL, chances are the football game will not be the biggest clash of the night, nor will it be the most discussed event the next day when everyone will be “armchair quarterbacking” at the water cooler. Besides, with so much on the line and so many opportunities for the candidates’ stock to rise and fall, why pin yourself down, unless you are one of those who never considers anything other than the strict party line, in which case you were never really into the whole campaign thing anyway. A party could run the Creepy Clown recently seen in Wisconsin, carrying the black balloons and some would vote for him/her, no questions asked. This year, more so than anytime in my lifetime the choices are less than clear with so much on the line. After the fiercely contested primaries for both the Democrats and Republicans, America has made it pretty clear we want a candidate to break the Washington mold, maybe even the two party monopoly. I believe the 2016 presidential race will come down to the last few days before many decide who and even if they will participate in the vote. When it comes right down to it I think many want the person most capable of leading the nation, regardless of party. The one who survives this slugfest will no doubt be the one who proves they are capable of standing up to harsh public opinion, negative poll numbers and the inconsistency that comes from being less than perfect. One things for sure, none can claim to be a perfect candidate this year. So who cares what anyone else thinks� In America, we are independent minded and no one tells us what to do, think or how to vote. Dan Alexander is associate publisher of New Market Press.

The purpose of this meal is to offer inter-generational fun, welcome the community to our site and enjoy a great meal together. NFUMC has youth members, enrolled in elementary school through high school, who apparently enjoyed serving Lobster Fest guests. Members, ages 7 to 87, helped serve the lobster meal. The weather was ideal for the event; the boilers produced
the cooked lobsters and chicken alternate selection, served along with homemade pies and other selections. The church raised over $4,000 which will help reach out to the local community and beyond. Event volunteers thanked Laurie Curler, Jill Wilkens and Linda Lucia, this year’s Lobster Fest co-chairs.

Popular Bridge Restaurant welcomes new chef to staff By Lou Varricchio
lou@suncommunitynews.com
ADDISON — If you’re entering the State of Vermont from New York State—via the Lake Champlain Bridge—the Bridge Restaurant will be among the first landmarks in the Green Mountain State to greet upon arrival. Known for its breakfasts and other home-cooked meals, fries, pies, soups, and hand-cut steaks for 25 years, the Bridge Restaurant has another reason to toot its horn; owner Lisa Cloutier has just welcomed a new chef to the staff. Dwayne LaFrance of Ticonderoga, N.Y., is heading up the Bridge’s kitchen. LaFrance began his professional cooking career in 1982. He was trained by a culinary chef at the Sugar House Restaurant in Middlebury where he was employed six years. According to LaFrance, he is specializing in seafood and steak specials at the Bridge and will surprise patrons with some new menu items, including breakfast, lunch and dinner. “The Bridge Restaurant is a place where you can have a meal and feel right at home,” LaFrance said. Online reviews of the Bridge Restaurant confirm the fact that many customers feel they are entering a bright, clean and cheery family kitchen to eat. “We all try to greet everyone and make all feel at home,” said Cloutier. “We serve a wonderful country-style breakfast including fresh eggs, bacon, sausage, pancakes, omelets and freshly brewed coffee.” The restaurant is open every day of the week, 6:30 a.m. to 8 p.m., except Tuesday.

Atticus is 12 years old, AKC Certified Golden Retriever, and a neutered male. He is a very affectionate, empathetic, grandfatherly dog who seeks human contact above all else. According to Atticus’ previous owner, Atticus always seemed to know when something was bothering him and would try to provide comfort. Atticus is wonderful with other dogs, and will even lay down to let smaller dogs and puppies climb all over him in play! Mandi is 9 years old, AKC Certified Duck Tolling Retriever, and a spayed female. She is an energetic, athletic, playful gal who will chase down tennis balls for as long as someone can throw them! She is very affectionate, and once attached to someone she will always want to be in their company. Stop by the shelter to meet this amazing duo.

The intimidation game Ethan Allen Institute By John McClaughry
F
or decades—indeed, centuries—American politics has been a rough game. The Adams-Jefferson contest of 1800 was notably ugly, when the Federalists and their media constantly attacked Jefferson for being a proFrench revolutionary, a religious heretic, and the secret lover of “Dusky Sally”. Abraham Lincoln was mocked as a “baboon”. In 1884 a prominent minister backing Republican James G. Blaine (“the continental liar from the State of Maine”) attacked the Democrats as the party of “Rum, Romanism and Rebellion”. (That backfired; Cleveland won.) In 1971 Richard Nixon’s notorious “enemies list” came to light. As Nixon’s counsel later testified, “This memorandum addresses the matter of how we can maximize the fact of our incumbency in dealing with persons known to be active in their opposition to our Administration; stated a bit more bluntly—how we can use the available federal machinery to screw our political enemies.” That revelation, coupled with the activities by the FBI, CIA, IRS and the White House itself, led to Nixon’s forced resignation in 1974, on the eve of certain (and well deserved) impeachment. But Nixon’s misdeeds pale in comparison with what we are seeing in national politics today: the vast power of the national government itself mobilized to crush the voice of any opposition. This is “The Intimidation Game: How the Left is Silencing Free Speech”, the title of a new book by Kimberley Strassel of the Wall Street Journal. The book is an exhaustively detailed 376 page indictment of the Left’s unrelenting campaign to hammer down free speech. Those forces are led, directly or indirectly, by President Barack Obama, and include his Democratic supporters in Congress and an astonishing range of well-coordinated Leftist organizations. Strassel is conservative but even-handed. In fact, she begins her book with the “Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act” of 2002, also known as “McCain-Feingold”. BCRA was a sweeping measure to limit political spending and deny people freedom to speak out on issues and candidates. Eighty percent of Republicans in Congress opposed it on First Amendment grounds, but the Democrats had the votes, and John McCain’s bipartisan cover, to push it through. The Citizens United case brought BCRA before the Supreme Court in January 2010. At issue was the airing of a documentary critical of Hillary Clinton. The five conservative justices held that BCRA’s “prohibition on corporate independent expenditures is an outright ban on speech, backed by criminal sanctions. The government may not suppress political speech based on the speaker’s
corporate identity.” The Left went crazy. In Vermont, Senators Leahy and Sanders, Rep. Welch, and Gov. Shumlin all called for a constitutional amendment to overturn Citizens United and restrict the First Amendment’s freedom of political speech. A Democratic Senate mustered 54 votes to advance it in 2014, but fell far short of the required 67 votes. Strassel documents the astonishing range of attacks from the Left on their opponents’ freedom of speech. These include the Obama IRS targeting and stalling Tea Party applications for exempt classification, punitive IRS auditing of known opponents of Obama and the Left, and an effort by the staff of the Federal Election Commission to force issues advocacy groups to register as political action committees. There were shocking threats and personal attacks by Leftist groups on business and trade organizations, and especially on the conservative American Legislative Exchange Council, which the Left fantastically claimed was responsible for the death of Trayvon Martin. There were the partisan “John Doe” prosecutions, including SWAT team assaults of the homes of aides to Gov. Scott Walker, to repay Walker for ending most public sector union bargaining in Wisconsin. (Finally, the courts threw out the cases.) There were orchestrated personal attacks, including vandalism and death threats, on persons who supported California’s Proposition 8, that affirmed traditional marriage, and similar attacks on scientists and others who didn’t buy into Al Gore’s version of atmospheric physics (“climate deniers”). And of course the Left, led by Bernie Sanders, almost daily pillories billionaires Charles and David Koch for supporting libertarian causes. The key to this strategy, Strassel says, is forcing disclosure of names of the supporters and donors to causes the Left opposes, so they can be attacked by the Obama agencies,
Democratic politicians, and a host of organizations with little commitment to the truth , to the Bill of Rights, and to basic decency. She sees the Left’s demands for disclosure as equivalent to the (unsuccessful) attempt by the Alabama attorney general, in 1957, to force disclosure of the names of NAACP members, so white segregationists could intimidate them, or worse. Yes, money in politics is a legitimate concern in a democracy. But so is the corruption of the national government and the destruction of free speech by the President and his allies on the Left. Strassel convincingly argues that forced disclosure to allow vicious retaliation by the Left is the essential ingredient of The Intimidation Game. If it succeeds, the First Amendment will become an empty shell. Note: John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute (www.ethanallen.org).
Woman cited for shoplifting
RUTLAND TOWN — On July 21, at approximately 8:01 p.m., Vermont State Police was notified that an individual had been caught by store employees shoplifting at the Hannaford Supermarket in Rutland Town.

The female fled from the store without being apprehended. Troopers later identified the female as Mandy Conte, 32, of the Rutland area. Conte was located and cited to appear at a later date and time for a charge of retail theft when she was located with assistance from Rutland City Police Department.

Rutland refugees an ongoing controversy By Fred Haas
I
n an interview presented on Vermont Public Radio’s Vermont Edition recently, Rutland City Mayor Christopher Louras was joined by Rutland resident David O’Brien, former executive director of Rutland Economic Development Commission and also former commissioner of public service for the State of Vermont. The topic was the refugee relocation program for the City of Rutland proposed by Mayor Louras and the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program, developed in secret between January and April 2016. O’Brien challenged Louras about transparency, the truth and the process. In the interview Louras stated that a copy of the applica-
tion and abstract had been sent to the Board of Alderman. According to members of the Board no such information has yet been received, which in part prompted their letter to the Department of State. Rutland First requested this document via Freedom of Information Act from the Department of State, but it has yet to be received. In the same interview Louras also stated that his City of Rutland supporters number in the thousands. However, a closer examination exposes this misconception. Rutland Welcomes, a Facebook group consisting of 1,200 members, has only 15 percent registered City voters among the members. In contrast, of the signers of the Rutland First petitions 67 percent are registered voters. In his initial statements Mayor Louras described the appli-
cation as being for 100 Syrian refugees. He did not say, nor has he promoted the truth, that this is not a “one shot deal”. In reality it is acceptance of a long term commitment of which this group of 100 people is just the beginning. These sorts of inaccurate public statements by Louras simply add to the well deserved perception of desperation and deception on the part of the mayor and an increasing demand for the truth. To date, Mayor Louras’ ploy, with the documented guidance of VRRP, has been to deliberately deny real answers to the Rutland Board of Alderman and the public. Fred Haas is a member of the grassroots Rutland First organization.

members attended to Wohle who was subsequently transported to the Rutland Regional Medical Center. Wohle was pronounced dead at RRMC at 9:58 p.m. The initial indicators revealed Wohle’s death was medical in nature. Wohle underwent an autopsy with a final diagnosis pending. No further information was being released at press time.

DePino said that while this number is technically accurate, it is wildly out of context and lacks crucial detail, such as what time period is reflected by the statistics and who is being killed. “It’s really difficult to get a current snapshot of what it is until you actually look at the numbers,” said Bob DePino, vice president of Gun Owners of Vermont. For example according to FBI stats for 2014 (on page 20 of this report), there were 15 homicides in Vermont, just four of which were with firearms. And while all four were domestic disputes, three of the victims were men. In light of these numbers, DePino says that Minter’s ad misleads casual viewers by trying to create the impression that there is an epidemic of gun violence against women. DePino said each year for about the last decade a group called the Domestic Violence Review Commission has issued a report, using statistics dating back to 1994. He argues that averaging in data from the 1990s inflates the numbers because domestic violence homicides in Vermont are down about 40 percent over the last 12 years. While Minter doesn’t reference DVRC directly, DePino said the DVRC is the primary source of gun and domestic violence stats in the state, including the 57 percent figure Minter cited. DePino acknowledged that differences between federal and state laws on gun confiscation for domestic violence situations can create confusion for both the public and law enforcement. DePino’s colleague Ed Cutler, president of Gun Owners of Vermont, said that current federal law already allows for anyone accused of domestic violence to have their guns taken away. Vermont’s Act 191, enacted in 2014, relies on a judge’s order before weapons can be taken. In the event of an acquittal or dropped charges, DePino said, the fees to get
the weapons back are typically higher than the actual value of the weapons and ammunition seized. Cutler said Minter’s ad is not clear exactly what she is calling for regarding gun confiscation in domestic violence situations. Minter did not return multiple calls and emails seeking comment. Regarding the universal background checks that Minter calls for in her ad, DePino argues that this is essentially a form of gun registration. “Say I wanted to sell you a gun,” he said. “We’re both Vermont residents, but because we have UBCs now we have to go down to the gun store to do the transfer. I transfer that gun to the dealer, that dealer then has that gun in his inventory and then he sells it to you. Now that gun is in his books, the government now has a record of a gun that did not travel through a dealer before.” Lawrence Hamel, a firearms instructor and Republican candidate for state representative from Hardwick, points out that criminals are not likely to go to all that trouble. “Criminals are exactly that. They are criminals,” he said. “They are not going to follow the law, and they are always going to be able to find a gun. So universal background checks, the only way that it could work is if every gun in every state is registered as part of a centralized registration, which as we all fear leads to confiscation.” Minter’s competitors for the Democratic nomination for governor, Peter Galbraith and Matt Dunne, have both called for universal background checks and a ban on so-called assault weapons. “If you look at all the campaign donations to Galbraith and Dunne, 82 percent of Galbraith’s money comes from out of state,” he said, citing figures from the Secretary of State’s office. “All the (pro-gun control) candidates, they are getting money from places of high gun control like Illinois, California, New York, New Jersey, and Massachusetts. How are they

Vermont win breaks N.H.’s 15-year dominance From News & Staff Reports lou@suncommunitynews.com
CASTLETON — The 63rd edition of the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl, held now at Castleton’s Spartan Stadium, made a lot of Vermont football fans happy—the Green Mountain State’s team 50-2 pouncing of New Hampshire was a big and welcome outcome. The annual game brings together some of the best “all-star” high school football players in Vermont and New Hampshire. The head coaches for the 2016 classic were announced last year and players for game were selected in February of this year. Vermont’s defense was a classic approach holding New Hampshire without any firsthalf yardage gained. Fair Haven Union High School quarterback Ryan Alexander launched five touchdown passes within the first half hour of play. Vermont’s win vanquished New Hampshire’s 15-year-long victory streak. According to game officials, Vermont’s 48-point margin of victory beat the Shrine
Game record starting in 1958. According to the game’s organizers, the decision to host the game at Castleton again was a direct result of the successful experience of the 2015 game. The goal of the game is to provide funding to support Shriners Hospitals for Children. The contributions from the 2015 game far exceeded those of the past several years combined. With further enhancements made for the 2016 game, expectations were high. Dartmouth was home to the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl until 2014, with the exception of seven years: 1967 when the game was played at UVM, 1968 at UNH, 2006 at Plymouth State and 2009 -2011 at Windsor High School followed by Castleton in 2015.
