VPIRG touts $500 million carbon tax as ‘tax reform’ By Bruce Parker bparker@watchdog.org
By Farhad Khan Special to the Eagle
MIDDLEBURY — Twenty one years ago—almost—on Nov. 5, a woman walked into my store on Court Street (Route 7) in Middlebury looking for a job. I was tired, tired of trying to set the store up for its grand opening for over three months. I interviewed so many people I couldn’t makeup my mind who to hire. I had a good feeling about this woman and hired her. Next day, we opened the store and the woman who walked into my business started working for me. I am so naive that I didn’t even ask my new employee for her resume, “biodata”, or whatever you care to call a person’s written employment record. At that time, all I knew was her name: Barbara Mason. By the following week, I was sure that this situation was going to be a long haul. The next Monday, I had accidentally left a large sum of cash—almost $14,000—in a plastic bag right on the counter and went home. Next morn— CONTINUED ON PAGE 9
MONTPELIER — A renewable energy lobbyist in Vermont is calling a $500 million carbon tax a clever “tax reform” idea to grow jobs and the economy. Vermont Public Interest Research Group, an environmental advocacy group with 40,000 members, wants to jumpstart the economy. The group’s method of achieving that, however, requires imposing a massive tax on gasoline, propane, natural gas and home heating fuel. According to a promotional flier being delivered to Vermonters across the state, VPIRG wants state lawmakers to shift taxes off of income, sales and employment and on to “carbon pollution” — a code phrase for gas and home heating oil distributors. The proposed excise tax — a $100 permetric-ton tax on carbon estimated to CONTINUED ON PAGE 11

SALISBURY — The historic circa-1865 Salsbury-Cornwall covered bridge, sometimes called the Station Covered Bridge, was destroyed by a suspicious fire Sept. 10. The bridge was listed on the U.S. National Registry of Historic Places. It was restored after vandalism several years ago. The fire is considered suspicious, according to Fire Chief Dennis Rheaume; it occurred in daylight, 9-10 hours after an early morning thunderstorm passed through the region. The fire occurred in the early afternoon hours with fire crews hearing the alarm and responding before 3 p.m. The more than 70-feet-long bridge, which was restored a few years ago, was engulfed in flames when first responders arrived.

Digging Vermont’s oldest stone tools By Lou Varricchio

MIDDLEBURY — This year’s Archeology Month marks one of the most important discoveries of ancient human tools in Vermont. Jamaica State Park may be the oldest campground in Vermont—literally. It’s a campground that has been hosting native Vermonters for more than 6,000 years. While digging test pits for a new waste water system in the state park in 2010, workers accidentally dredged up more than 70 ancient artifacts near the state park’s popular Salmon Hole camp site. After the state archeologist examined the remains of what looked like prehistoric stone tools, work on the waste water project was halted. A full blown archeological dig got underway at the park a few years ago. Rochelle Skinner, park manager, told the Eagle that the dig represented the first systematic excavation at the site. The University of Vermont’s Consulting archeology program spearheaded the excavation at the time.
Jamaica State Park first opened in 1969. Before that time, according to Skinner, pre park-era campers reported finding artifacts over many years, but nothing was as significant as the recent discovery. “The soil in this area is very thin, both the artifact rich dark layer and the lower soil horizon,” according to a state park report. “Glacially deposited boulders and cobbles were encountered almost immediately... Abundant artifacts are still being recovered from the primary excavation project.” Similar paleo tools—almost as old as the Jamaica stones—were also found in Rutland Town, across from Thomas Dairy. Sixteen arrowheads were unearthed and dated to about the year 5000 B.C., but UVM experts said that they aren’t as old as the Jamaica artifacts. The Rutland County artifacts were uncovered during a routine dig in preparation for a future development site. “Beneath Jamaica State Park lie the remains of numerous ancient Native American camp sites dating back at least 6,000 years,” Skinner said.
New CSJ golf team makes Killington course home By James Lambert Special to the Eagle
RUTLAND — College of St. Joseph in Rutland recently added its eighth intercollegiate varsity sport with the launch of men’s golf. The team began USCAA Division II competition this fall. The addition of a golf program marks the second expansion of the CSJ Saints’ athletic offerings in the last year, with women’s volleyball joining the athletic roster last fall. Green Mountain National Golf Course will serve as the home course for practices and tournaments. Green Mountain National, located in nearby Killington, is an 18-hole municipal golf course that features panoramic views in a spectacular setting. “It’s one of the top golf courses in the state of Vermont,” said David Soucy, golf director and general manager at GMNGC. “That will be a draw to some of the players, that they get the chance the play on a course that’s in great condition in a beautiful setting.” CSJ Athletic Director Jeff Brown will coach the team for their first season before handing the reins to Soucy. Soucy is an experienced golf professional who has served as general manager of the topranked golf course for 11 seasons. Soucy also serves on the New England PGA board and is a past-president of the Vermont PGA. He is the recipient of multiple Professional of the Year honors by the Vermont PGA, and has won over 30 golfing events in Vermont. Green Mountain National Golf Course will serve as the home course for CSJ golf. Photo provided

ROV to explore lake wreck September is Archeology Month By Lou Varricchio
lou@suncommunitynews.com
FERRISBURGH — September is Archeology Month in Vermont and you don’t have to travel far for an incredible maritime adventure that blends history, archeology and high-tech gadgets which you can and your family experience up close. On Saturday, Sept. 17, you will be able to climb aboard LCMM’s tourboat “Escape” for a robotic exploration of a fascinating wreck deep in Lake Champlain. This wreck is one of over 300 historic , well-preserved wrecks in the cold lake. Lake Champlain Maritime Museum will host its 2016 Shipwreck Tour on the lake through the electronic eyes of its cute little ROV robot. Not exactly a 100 percent autonomous robot, ROV is short for remotely operated underwater vehicle. LCMM’s ROV is a tethered, submersible mobile device; it will be towed by the “Escape” to the wreck site. It will then make a slow, deliberate dive and explore the “Champlain II”, Meanwhile, 42 adventurers on deck remain dry while enjoying the thrills. This robotic camera sends back real-time video to an on-board monitor as we share the vessel’s dramatic story,” according LCMM Director of Collections Eloise Beil. On the one-hour tour, passengers will visit the steamboat “Champlain II”. Beil advises visitors to check in at the museum 20 minutes before the tour departs from the neighboring waterfront at Basin Harbor Club.
Sept. 17’s unique ROV tour target, the “Champlain II”. This big passenger sidewheeler ended its ferrying career on the lake on the night of July 16, 1875. “While at dock in Westport, N.Y., the pilots changed shifts with John Eldredge taking over the wheel from Ell Rockwell,” according to Beil. “Rockwell would later recount that John Eldredge had ‘appeared glum’. The “Champlain II” headed north out of Westport, and a short time later the enormous steamer ran aground near Barn Rock.” Beil noted that all persons on the steamer were safely put ashore, but an investigation— apparently one of the lake’s first maritime “DUIs” ever recorded—found that Eldredge may have been a morphine addict. He used the drug to treat a case of gout. Pricing for the ROV shipwreck adventure includes free admission to LCMM: Youth $19; adult $24 (members $15/$20). You can book an adventure online or call 802-475-2022. Since September is Archeology Month in Vermont, you don’t have to travel far for an incredible maritime adventure that blends history, archeology and high-tech gadgets which you can and your family experience up close.

Memories, misery on Route 66
n my recent vacation in remotest New Mexico, I enjoyed driving over 100 miles on what’s left of the so-called Will Rogers Highway, better known to us happy road adventurers as U.S. Route 66. According to a tourist magazine article I read enroute, the highway was officially decommissioned in the Land of Enchantment in 1985 after opening in 1926 to much fanfare. Back in the days before the Eisenhower Interstate Highway System, U.S. Route 66 was a pretty big deal, winding from Chicago to L.A., “more than 2,000 miles all the way”, as Bobby Troup’s lyrics go to his classic 1946 pop song, “Get Your Kicks on Route 66”. When the 1960-64 “Route 66” television drama series made its run, the highway was already long-in-the-tooth. While the T.V. series sported on-location shoots, slick, movie-style cinematography and adult-theme scripts, it rarely followed Route 66—although one diner I visited near Santa Rosa claimed it appeared in an episode in the finale 1964 season of the show. No matter, even at the dawn of the interstate era, the “66” name managed to pack a lot of road romance—and it still does. You can still gas-up at clean, friendly Phillips 66 service stations in various along this mother road. In Tucumcari, N.M., I spent a night in delightful 1950sstyle motel, restored to retro splendor. I ate lunch at a restored classic diner made by the Jerry O’Mahony Co. probaly in the 1940s. An almost time capsule of the classic Route 66 era, this diner even had a 30-something gum-

cracking waitress, although she sported dyed purple hair, a nose ring, and a winged Marilyn Monroe, with angel wings, tattoo on exposed her upper arm. You can capture some of the Route 66 magic in our part of the New England-New York region. A trip down Route 22A into New York State will take you to circa-1924 Route 22 south of Granville, N.Y. From Granville, all the way south to the equally delightful Taconic Parkway entrance, and beyond—it’s a nostalgic automobile drive through the rolling countryside with farms, raodside stands, and remnants of the pre-interstate highway era—keep an eye out for those Texaco gasoline signs, a few old motels, and several friendly eateries. Time has eclipsed Route 66 just as it has New York’s Route 22 (and the same numbered, but unrelated old Route 22 in New Jersey and Pennsylvania). While Route 66 gets a lot of the nostalgia auto and motorcycle touring traffic, old Route 22 in our region has been largely forgotten—except for the locals who still travel its cracked and rippled pavement. In John Steinback’s “Grapes of Wrath”, the chracter Joads travels west along the Route 66 of the 1930s. In the iconic novel, he called it “the mother road, the road of flight”. It is, as one Steiinbeck scholar wrote, “The lifeline, the thing that allows thousands of families to pursue their hopes and dreams. It is also, depressingly enough, the road that leads to their misery.” The Eagle
Freedom is a choice
L
ast weekend, we were reminded once again what our freedom means and the price we pay to live freely, believe freely, and share the nation we love. Fifteen years have passed since that dreadful, bright sunny day in September when the evil reach of terror sought to bring our nation to its knees. Dan Alexander Freedom in its full practice is Thoughts from easy to take for granted or be takBehind the Pressline en to extremes when we disrespect others by putting personal choices and desires before the collective good of all. We are witnessing so much anger, disrespect and even hatred today as we head into the upcoming elections. Racial and political divides are causing mistrust and leading to outlandish accusations further fueling the divide, reaching into neighborhoods and even families. We can get so wrapped up in the noise that we easily forget how valuable and precious our freedom really is. We must never lose sight of our collective goal to live as a free people, nor let those who choose to distort that goal, drive wedges between us. Only then will we risk reliving a costly lesson from the past, when we really recognize the threat that could cost us freedom we value. There is no question that this nation has flaws and there are those among us who take advantage of those flaws for their own personal gain. Human nature by design will never be perfect but that’s where the dream of our founding fathers must help to guide us. Using the sound foundations of freedom, justice and the sacrifices of so many through the centuries with the firm belief that all men are created equal and we are each endowed by our creator with certain unalienable rights, we must continue to persevere to further refine the nation. The choices each of us face each day must serve to further improve the nation, not just when we are in peril, but even when we are wrapped up in our daily lives. It’s not often that we are called upon to save lives at the risk of our own but our country is shaped as much by the way we treat each other everyday as it is when we perform extraordinary feats under unique circumstances. Unselfish gestures and daily acts of kindness are choices we make that help define the nature of our country and help us differentiate the USA from lands where freedom of expression are regulated or outlawed by governmental control. It is up to each of us to do our part to exemplify the good we do with the freedom we enjoy. Dan Alexander is associate publisher of New Market Press. He may be reached at dan@newmarketpressvt.com

A lesson in high school sports By Alida G. Tow
W
hen my daughter came back from her semester studying abroad at the end of June, she was looking forward to pick up games and varsity team
try-outs. She was also excited to begin a drivers education course, as she had missed the spring drivers ed class at Mount Abraham Union High School (MAUHS) due to the exchange program schedule. Little did my daughter know that on Aug. 26, 2016, she would have to make a choice between the two. The first line in the MAUHS Athletic Department Handbook reads, “The purpose of the Mt. Abraham Union High School Athletic Program is to provide our student athletes with a positive experience through the pursuit of athletic accomplish-
ment”. For my daughter and our family, this experience has been anything but “positive”. When my daughter proactively informed her coach that she had two remaining weeks (six classes) of drivers education that may require her to leave practice early, she was told that leaving early was not an option; if she was “cut” from the team, she was told, it would not be because she wasn’t good enough. The coach told her that if she picked soccer, she would be a starter on the MAUHS Varsity Team. But she was forced to make the decision between drivers education—the course had already been paid in full—and a sport that she has loved and played since the age of five. My daughter could have said nothing; she probably could have been able to do both. Instead, she thought she was doing the right thing by being up front, honest, and was forced into making a decision no 16-year-old student should have to make: This doesn’t feel like “...the pursuit of athletic accomplishment” to me—this feels like punishment for being honest.

High-wheel bikes to tour Middlebury By Lou Varricchio
lou@suncommunitynews.com
MIDDLEBURY — As a teen during the 1960s, I looked forward to weekly installments of the quirky, allegorical British television series “The Prisoner”. I was drawn to the show’s iconic, circa-1870s penny-farthing bicycles—one, for their air of mystery as transportation through the T.V. program’s mysterious Orwellian “Village” paths (and because I loved the show’s anti-government theme), and two, my hometown neighbor at the time owned a penny-farthing bicycle and pedalled it around the local streets with alacrity. Penny-farthings—sporting a large front wheel and tiny back wheel—are so named, according to Bicycle News, “...From the British penny and farthing coins, one much larger than the other, so that the side view resembles a penny leading a farthing.” A parade of these astonishing high-wheel bicycles will tour downtown Middlebury on Sunday, Sept. 25. Enthusiasts from the League of American Wheelmen, along with other local owners of historic pennyfarthings, will pedal along— now I wish I knew what became of Jeff, the neighborhood Boneshaker wheelman of my youth. During the run of “The Prisoner” on American T.V., I had the opportunity to
Lawrence Stokes with the ‘Penny Farthing’ bike that was built in 1888.
take a short ride on a pennyfarthing owned by Jeff, my 20-something neighbor and wheelman. Jeff would pedal around the West End of Allentown, Pa., because it was fun; he was also a serious fan of the British T.V. show. One summer Saturday morning in 1968, Jeff invited me to climb aboard— a daunting task, to say the least. I mounted Jeff ’s P.F. with help and set off to wobble down our street. I made it back to homeport, until it was time to dismount. Jeff was there to catch me as I tipped the contraption; I fell sideways just to get off the thing. While I survived unscathed, I learned
to appreciate the Brit’s nickname for the penny-farthing bicycle—”Boneshaker”. Which brings us forward in time to 2016: This year marks the 150th anniversary of the first pedal-bicycle patent in the USA (the pennyfarthing was actually patented three years later). To mark this important transportation invention— of keen interest to many of Vermont’s avid bicyclists and anti-fossil fuel transportation passionistas—the Henry Sheldon Museum in Middlebury will celebrate the invention. Ok, maybe the Sheldon won’t be offering bone-rattling, penny-farthing cycle rides, but it will present cycle fans with a cool, memorable

learning experience—an exhibit about the “Boneshaker” as well as other types of pedal bicycles. The Sheldon Museum will showcase the incredible bicycle collection of Glenn Eames with the exhibit “Pedaling Through History: 150 Years of the Bicycle”. This important exhibit will open on June 21 and continue through Oct. 16. According to a news release by the museum’s Mary Manley, “The exhibit traces the evolution of the bicycle from its inception until today, while spotlighting the bicycle’s golden era at end of the 19th century. This period is often referred to as the Gilded Age, a term derived from writer Mark Twain’s
1873 The Gilded Age: A Tale of Today, which satirized the era.” At the exhibit, Manley invites visitors to look for the penny-farthing (aka velocipede or aforementioned “Boneshaker”), the Image High Wheel or Ordinary Bicycle of the 1880s, Safety Bicycle of the late 1890s, and a selection of modern 20th and 21st century road, off road, and fat bikes. “Complementing the two dozen bicycles will be historic photographs, ephemera, and bicycle accessories, as well as documentation of the bicycle’s impact on women’s liberation and children’s recreation, health, mobility, and tourism,” Manley adds. Here’s an event you’ll want to mark on your calendar: A parade of high-wheel bicycles will tour downtown Middlebury on Sunday, Sept. 25. Enthusiasts from the League of American Wheelmen, along with other local owners of historic pennyfarthings, will pedal along— now I wish I knew what became of Jeff, the neighborhood Boneshaker wheelman of my youth. The Henry Sheldon Museum is located at 1 Park St. in downtown Middlebury across from the Ilsley Library. Museum hours: TuesdaySaturday, 10 a.m.– 5 p.m. and Sundays in summer and fall, 1-5 p.m. Regular admission to the museum is $5 Adults; $3 Youth (6-18); $4.50 seniors; $12 family.

The prophet of propaganda By Edward Mann edgmann@gmx.com
I
f you are not homeschooling your children, you are losing them to today’s equivalent of the “Star Trek” alien known as the “Borg”—a great hive of mindless bodies thinking in lockstep. They are awash in America’s leftist cant daily. It is on the walls as posters about saving the planet. The textbooks are compliant with the goals of the social justice warriors aka SJW. The T.V. programs and advertisements are loaded with leftist pap from melting glaciers to dying polar bears. The biggest push is telling children that their parents are wrong; they’re working against their future and they will hurt the planet. The teacher will shape the thoughts of students in class so that each responds in a like manner, just like good robots. It is all propaganda and your tykes are immersed in it in school and on T.V. There is an important book, first published in 1965, that should be read by today’s parents: Jacques Ellul’s “Propaganda: The Formation of Men’s Attitudes” has been called by one reviewer, a far more frightening work than any of the nightmare novels of George Orwell. In the book, the author—a French philosopher and sociologist—dispels popular notions about propaganda; he exposes how it really operates in the modern world. In the first chapter Ellul, who was born in 1912 and died in 1994, describes some of the characteristics of modern propaganda. Eight of them I will share with you, quoted directly from my first-edition volume: •It Prevents Dialogue To be effective, propaganda cannot be concerned with detail… Propaganda ceases where simple dialogue begins… it does not tolerate discussion; by its very nature, it excludes contradiction and discussion. •It Focuses on the Mass For propaganda to address itself to the individual, in his isolation, apart from the crowd, is impossible. The individual is of no interest to the propagandist; as an isolated unit he presents too much resistance to external action… The most favorable moment to seize a man and influence him is when he is alone in the mass: it is at this point that propaganda can be most effective. •It is “Total” Propaganda must be total. The propagandist must utilize all of the technical means at his disposal – the press, radio, TV, movies, posters, meetings, doorto-door canvassing. Modern propaganda must utilize all of these media. There
is no propaganda as long as one makes use, in sporadic fashion and at random, of a newspaper article here, a poster or a radio program there, organizes a few meetings and lectures, writes a few slogans on walls; that is not propaganda. •It Takes Over Education Education and training are inevitably taken over, as the Napoleonic Empire demonstrated for the first time. No contrast can be tolerated between teaching and propaganda, between the critical spirit formed by higher education and the exclusion of independent thought. One must utilize the education of the young to condition them to what comes later. •It Takes Over Literature and History Propaganda will take over literature (present and past) and history, which must be rewritten according to propaganda’s needs. •It Must be Subtle at First Direct propaganda, aimed at modifying opinions and attitudes, must be preceded by propaganda that is sociological in character, slow, general, seeking to create a climate, an atmosphere of favorable preliminary attitudes… The ground must be sociologically prepared before one can proceed to direct prompting. •It Must be Nonstop [Propaganda] must fill the citizen’s whole day and all his days… Propaganda tends to make the individual live in a separate world; he must not have outside points of reference… successful propaganda will occupy every moment of the individual’s life: through posters and loudspeakers when he is out walking, through radio and newspapers at home, through meetings and movies in the evening. The individual must not be allowed to recover, to collect himself, to remain untouched by propaganda during any relatively long period… It is based on slow, constant impregnation. •It Aims at Irrational Action The aim of modern propaganda is no longer to modify ideas, but to provoke action. It is no longer to change adherence to a doctrine, but to make the individual cling irrationally to a process of action. It is no longer to lead to a choice, but to loosen the reflexes. It is no longer to transform an opinion, but to arouse an active and mythical belief. Thus writes Jacques Ellul, author, sociologist—a true prophet of things to come. Retired social critic Edward Mann spends his summer vacation in Panton, Vt.

College program aims to help students succeed By Lou Varricchio
lou@suncommunitynews.com
RUTLAND — Beginning this fall, each new undergraduate student at College of St. Joseph in Rutland has a well-defined academic road map to aid four-year graduation success. The Guided Pathways Initiative was developed through the CSJ Learning Collaborative, with input from faculty, division chairs, and the registrar’s office. Pathways were created for all academic majors, each detailing both required and elective courses semester by semester to promote ontime graduation “Higher education research indicates that the longer students continue without a defined degree path and plan, the less likely they are to graduate within a four year period,” said Leigh Cherry, coordinator for Pathway Integration. CSJ Guided Pathways provide students with a model to avoid unnecessary credits, while allowing flexibility for courses in topics of interest outside of their chosen major.
“We know that most first-generation freshman are not independent learners yet. Guided Pathways essentially show them how to get out of a forest, so to speak,” said Dr. Jonas Prida, interim vice president for academic affairs and dean of faculty. “A catalog is just numbers and words, whereas the visual of Guided Pathways shows them that you should take this course, this semester. It restricts to allow just enough choice, so that all classes selected are meaningful.” An additional benefit of this CSJ academic pathways model is that two-year associate degree milestones are included in each degree path. “Something we regularly see in first year, first generation students is that it’s hard to see four years ahead of them. That seems like a really long time from their end. Having an A.A. or A.S. component built into every degree program means that students can look at this roadmap and if they’re having difficulty or a major life change, know that if they take just one more semester, they can graduate with an associate’s degree,” Prida said. “This ends the problem of having 65 credits, but no
degree.” All Guided Pathways were designed so that general education and required courses for each major are taken early on, making changing majors easier for students. “Fall semester of freshmen year is fairly standard across academic divisions, which was intentional,” Cherry said. “If you are undecided or you decide to change majors, the
credits you take won’t be lost. The courses students choose will all be meaningful toward graduation requirements.” ABOVE: Beginning this fall, each new undergraduate student at College of St. Joseph in Rutland has a well-defined academic road map to aid four-year graduation success.

RUTLAND — Motorsport rising star Justin Comes of Middlebury celebrated his first career Central Vermont Motorcycles Sportsman Modified win at Devil’s Bowl Speedway. The big win came over the Labor Day weekend on the Rutland-area speedway’s 3/10-mile dirt track. “Comes was one of several drivers in the two 25-lap feature races for the Central Vermont Motorcycles Sportsman Modified division to turn around a stretch of frustrating results with a solid night,” said Justin St. Louis of Devil’s Bowl. “The popular Middlebury racer dominated the first main event for his first NASCAR Whelen All-American Series win and his first checkered flag at his home track since his 2008 Mini Stock championship season.” In 2016, according to St. Louis, Central Vermont Motorcycles Dirt Sportsman Modifieds competed for NWAAS points as drivers ran for championships at the track, state, and national levels.

Vermont Lake Monsters win season’s finale By Paul Stanfield
lou@suncommunitynews.com
BURLINGTON —Sean Murphy went 3-for-3 with two runs, a solo homer and three RBI as the Vermont Lake Monsters scored five runs on just one hit in the bottom of the eighth inning for a 9-5 comefrom-behind victory over the Lowell Spinners in their New York-Penn League season finale Monday afternoon at historic Centennial Field. Murphy, who was playing just his third game since July 18 and first home game since July 16th, tied the game 3-3 with an RBI single in a Lake Monsters three-run bottom of the third inning. He then gave Vermont a 4-3 lead in the sixth inning with an opposite field homer to right, his second home run of the season. After Lowell retook the lead 5-4 with two runs in the seventh, Murphy again tied
the game 5-5 with an RBI single in the fiverun eighth inning. Vermont started the eighth with three straight walks from Spinners reliever Brad Stone (3-2) before Murphy lined the RBI single to leftfield, the Lake Monsters only hit of the inning to plate Eli White with the tying run. Vermont took the lead 7-5 when two runs scored on a fielding error by first baseman Jerry Downs on a hard groundball from Tyler Ramirez. The Lake Monsters added two more runs in the inning on sacrifice flies from Luke Persico and Steven Pallares. Lake Monsters starter Logan Shore allowed a three-run homer to Carlos Tovar in the top of the second inning for a 3-0 Lowell lead. The Spinners had three hits in the second, but Shore allowed just one other hit (a C.J. Chatham one-out double in third) with five strikeouts over his career-high five innings of work in his final start of the year. The 2016
Woman killed in Proctor crash By Lou Varricchio
lou@suncommunitynews.com
PROCTOR — On Sept. 3, members of the Vermont State Police-Rutland Barracks, Rutland County Sheriff ’s Department, Rutland Town Fire Department and Regional Ambulance Service responded to a single vehicle crash on West Proctor Road in Rutland Town. A preliminary investigation by police revealed that a 1998 Honda Accord was traveling south on West Proctor Road in Rutland Town when it began to leave the right side of the travel lane. The Honda’s operator attempted to correct and steer to the left, losing control of the vehicle. The Honda traveled left of center and off the east side of the roadway. It continued over a lawn and struck a two-car garage at 3213 West Proctor Rd. The Honda caused massive damage to the garage and two vehicles parked inside which were unoccupied at the time. No one at the residence was injured. The Honda operator was identified as Kathy L. Johnson, 52, of Proctor. She was pronounced deceased at the scene. The Vermont State Police are continuing to investigate this crash. Anyone with information is asked to contact Trooper Patrick Slaney, at 802-773-9101.
second-round pick finished his first professional season with a 2.57 ERA, seven walks and 21 strikeouts over 21 innings in his seven starts. After a 1-2-3 sixth inning, Vermont reliever Brandon Bailey allowed three straight singles to start the seventh including a Yoan Aybar RBI single that tied the game 5-5. After a foul out and strikeout, Matt McLean gave the Spinners a 6-5 lead with an RBI infield single to second base before Bailey retired the final seven batters he faced including three of his six strikeouts in the ninth inning. The 2016 sixth-round pick finished his year with a 3.08 ERA, nine walks and 42 strikeouts over 38 innings in his 10 appearances. Vermont’s only other hit besides Murphy’s three in the game was a leadoff single in the third from Steven Pallares, who had a walk and RBI in the game, while JaVon Shelby had two walks and two runs scored. Victor Acosta
was 2-for-4 with two runs scored for Stedler Division champion Lowell (47-29), who will begin its best-of three NYPL semifinal series against the Hudson Valley Renegades on Wednesday. Winners in four of their last seven games, the Lake Monsters finish the 2016 season with a 28-48 record for the fewest wins for a Vermont team since 2006 (23-52). After starting the season with a 17-17 record, the Lake Monsters went just 11-31 in their final 42 games of the season. Miguel Mercedes went homerless on Monday and finishes with a league-leading 12 home runs, tying him with Matt Cepicky (1999) for most Vermont home runs in a season. Nate Mondou went 0-for-5 for just the third time this season to drop his average below .300 for the first since July 8th, but finishes sixth in the NYPL with a .298 average.

Teen loses control of vehicle PANTON — On Sept. 5, Vermont State Police troopers were notified of a single car motor vehicle crash on Arnold Bay Road in the Town of Panton. State Police arrived on scene and identified the operator as Charlotte Haigis, 17, of Ferrisburgh. Haigis told police that, prior to the collision, she had been travelling southbound on Arnold Bay Road at approximately 45-50 mph. Haigis said that she lost control of her vehicle on the gravel, subsequently leaving the roadway and striking a tree. Haigis and a passenger sustained no injuries as a result of the collision. The vehicle that Haigis was operating was totaled as a result of the collision. It was determined that neither alcohol nor drugs played a factor in the collision.
Antiques stolen in Lincoln LINCOLN — On Sept. 7, members of the Vermont State Police responded to a home in Lincoln for the report of a unoccupied home that had been burglarized. Troopers met with the property owner who stated that she observed a larger pick-up truck backed up to the home. The pick-up truck is described as a truck with amber running lights on the roof of the cab. The VSP determined that several antique items were stolen to include an antique wagon wheel, an antique wall mounted rotary phone, a meat clever and an antique surveying set. If you have any information regarding the above incident please contact the Vermont State Police at 802-3884919.
Mason
Continued from page 1 ing, Barbara found the bag sitting on the counter; she hid it until I came to the store; she handed it to me. I had always heard or imagined angels to be slender, slim, tall with wings—and with flowing robes. I never knew that angels come in small packages, just like Barbara Mason. In a few months, she managed to acquire the keys to my house, keys to my safe—keys to everything I owned. Fast forward a few years. Barbara Mason took care of my Dad when he was visiting Vermont from India; she became “Nana” to my children. She adored my wife, and my kids—Subia being her favorite child. What a spunky person she was. She told me what she would do rather than ask me she would tell me that she is going to borrow some money rather than ask me. Sometimes she was the boss.

Fires
Continued from page 1 A local firefighter told the Eagle that there is no mobile, radio telephone reception in the area, so an attempt to call in the fire by a driver at the time apparently failed. According to officials of the Whiting Volunteer Fire department, responders included Cornwall Fire, Middlebury Fire, Whiting Fire, Salisbury Fire, MREMS, the Vermont State Police, Addison County Sheriff ’s Office, and a fire investigator. The Weybridge Fire Department provided considerable coverage at the scene. A nearby resident on the scene reported that a colony of endangered brown bats lived inside the truss bridge for many years. Swamp Road will remained closed to Salisbury-Cornwall traffic with a detour routing northbound Route 30 drivers toward downtown Middlebury. However, storm-related lightning is blamed in the destruction of the historic, circa-1891 so-called Old Dairy Barn at Shelburne Farm. The barn was used to store lumber. There were no injuries.

Carbon tax
Continued from page 1 add 89 cents to a gallon of gasoline, 58 cents to propane and $1.02 to every gallon of home heating fuel — will generate $500 million annually after its phase-in period of 10 years. To make skyrocketing gasoline costs sound less repulsive, the flier calls the concept “tax reform for a clean economy.” According to the scheme described in the flier, passing a carbon tax will be offset by granting taxpayers an income tax credit that increases every year. Organizations and municipalities will get tax credits for all employees, too, and all Vermonters would see a reduction in the sales tax. Low income Vermonters can expect monthly supplemental benefits, and some of the tax revenue will be set aside to subsidize energy efficiency projects like weatherization and increased use of cold climate heat pumps. Lest anyone think VPIRG has become a tax-cutting conservative outfit, the advertisement offers an ominous reason why Vermonters should embrace a $500 million tax: “The ‘winter’ of 2016 was the hottest in history around the world and in Vermont … and carbon pollution is the primary cause.” It goes on to say excessive CO2 in the atmosphere leads to Lyme disease, children with asthma, tropical storm damage and short ski seasons. The solution is to have Vermont cut carbon emissions by one-third and “leave a healthier planet and stronger
www.addision-eagle.com
economy to our children.” Since 2011, Vermont has imposed $300 million in higher taxes. The threat of a new $500 million increase led the Vermont Republican Party last week to release an ad that argues a looming state carbon tax is a reason to vote Republican this year. The ad, paid for by the Vermont Republican Federal Elections Committee, says “Vermont Democrats and their special interest friends have pledged to pass the carbon tax, because for Democrats $47 million in new taxes this year wasn’t enough.” VPIRG’s advocacy of policies that benefit renewable energy companies has led to criticism that the group represents special interests, not the public interest. Not only did VPIRG lobbyists lead the effort to pass Vermont’s Act 56 renewable portfolio standards last year and Act 174 renewable siting law this year, but the group maintains a revolving door with green energy corporate executives. In particular, former VPIRG trustees have included AllEarth Renewables chief David Blittersdorf, and the organization’s current board members include Duane Peterson, founder and co-president of SunCommon, Vermont’s largest solar company, and Mathew Rubin, SunCommon’s finance and technology advisor. The solar giant was started by VPIRG in 2010 and spun off as a for-profit company in 2012. Framing the carbon tax as “tax reform” has notable similarities with British Columbia, where the Canadian government has collected $5 billion in carbon taxes while cutting corporate and personal income taxes by $5.7 billion.
The Vermont Eagle • September 17, 2016 | 11
Critics, however, say the tax is regressive and would increase the cost of fuel in Vermont by 50 percent compared to neighboring states. VPIRG claims that more than 17,000 Vermonters have responded to its Campaign for a Clean Economy, which includes petitioning Vermont gubernatorial candidates to support tax cuts on income, employment and sales “paid for with a gradually rising tax on carbon pollution.”
Fowl play in Weybridge WEYBRIDGE — Vermont State Police investigated the theft of livestock (roosters and a female peacock) from a locked barn on Quaker Village Road in Weybridge. The victim also reported that the suspects made off with two 30 gallon metal feed bins that were full of grain for the livestock. The victim listened to the news report that another Addison County resident had five chickens stolen recently and he came forward based on the story to report his stolen livestock and feed.
