INSURANCE A GENCY

RUTLAND – The last made-in-Vermont sitcom to flicker on and off the airwaves was Vermont Public TV’s goofy “Windy Acres” in 2004.

That short-lived experiment in hometown television—starring everyone’s favorite logger Rusty Dewees—was returned to Kingdom County Productions’ film vault. Fast forward to 2016. The stars are perfectly aligned for a brand new madein-Vermont sitcom to hit, this time, the 21st century airwaves of Wi-Fi. Enter “The Potwins,” a daring new Internet-based sitcom that offers a brash look at a Vermont family and their socalled life. It’s a peek at life in one of the USA’s bluest, mosttaxed progressive “utopias” where wind turbines and solar arrays are beginning to ooze across what was once a pristine rural landscape.

Rutland based Right & Funny Productions has announced the release of the first two installments of “The Potwins,” a downright daring — and very politically incorrect — comedy series.

Created and produced by Vermont residents Bradford Broyles and Len Britton, the show was created to find a niche in a marketplace virtually devoid of right-of-center humor and satire.

This Vermont production, filmed at various locations around the state, appears on YouTube in eight episodes premiering this month.

Broyles and Britton collaborated, and starred in, the viral online Billy ads back in 2010.

Rutland neighbors ask board to cancel solar farm

By Bruce Parker & Michael Bielawski mbielawski@watchdog.org

RUTLAND — Neighbors in Rutland have asked the Vermont Public Service Board to cancel the Cold River solar project, saying an undisclosed beneficial ownership agreement between Green Mountain Power and groSolar voids the project’s certificate of public good.

In their motion for relief, the neighbors, represented by lawyer Alan George, claim groSolar changed its original power purchase agreement with GMP to let the electric utility lease the project and later purchase it for just $1.

The parties’ failure to disclose the substantial change during the application period voids the certificate of public good, the neighbors say.

Home on the range: Hubbardton rancher wins big

by Phyllis Stenack RUTLAND COUNTY — Deb Bahre of Wright Choice Alpacas in Hubbardton returned home from the Big E Eastern State Exposition in West Springfield, Mass., last month with a fistful of award ribbons.

This year there was a twist that hasn’t been seen in many years, the alpaca show was run in side-by-side show rings with the llama show.

“It was very interesting, educational and eye popping for some,” said Wright. “Exhibitors and fairgoers alike got to see examples of the differences and similarities of these two domesticated South American camels.

Wright said that many of the people from each show talked and compared notes, and shared training tips and of course the love that we all have for our animals.

“Just for fun, the llama folks extended the invitation to any alpaca that wished to compete in their jackpot obstacle course as it was outside the show, an extra, mostly for good hearted fun,” she noted.

Three alpacas went in, and though not trained to the obstacles, did show that they could do it.

“I took in one of my alpacas and lent the other to a friend so that there was at least a few alpacas in trying it,” Wright said. “We didn’t do great, we did about what novice exhibitors should expect, especially with some completely foreign obstacles. It was fun both to do the course and watching the others. The alpacas and llamas had the same challenge often with the same result.”

Wright said that the alpaca and llama shows need to get more Vermont exhibitors and she would be happy to talk to anybody that would like to know the scoop on showing alpacas at the Big E. “I’d like to give encouragement and a helping hand to folks

that need some in order to go and show,” she said So how did Wright Alpacas do at the show?

“Very well,” according to Wright.

The Rutland County rancher was entered in 10 classes including Halter, Fleece, and Performance with her two alpacas and took four First Places, a Second, a Third and a Fourth which added up to enough points to win the Sweepstakes Reserve Champion banner.

“Sure the winning is great, but the performance classes are fun and challenging,” she noted. “You get to hang out with people who love alpacas too.”

More dams for GMP RUTLAND — Green Mountain Power officials announced that they have reached an agreement with Enel Green Power North America, Inc. (EGP-NA) to purchase 14 small hydroelectric plants for a total installed capacity of 17 MW. These hydro plants are located in New England and will provide GMP customers with locally-generated, cost-effective energy. In addition, Green Mountain Power has reached two long-term power purchase agreements with EGP-NA for power from Sheldon, Vt., and Ticonderoga, N.Y. The deal will create additional renewable resources in GMP’s energy portfolio.

GMP expects to sell a limited number of renewable energy credits from some of the plants to reduce costs for customers in the short term.

GMP has now filed for all state and federal regulatory approvals that will enable it to go forward with the agreement with EGP-NA. Green Mountain Power currently owns 32 hydro plants in Vermont.

The addition of the 14 plants and the power purchase agreements adds enough energy to power 21,000 homes, and all together, more than half of the power is sourced from Vermont resources.

Uncharted waters

hen October rolls around, I like to buy my copy of the New Year’s Farmer’s Almanac at the local supermarket. Year to year I vary which version I buy since multiple publishers, from the Old Farmer’s Almanac in New Hampshire to Blum’s Farmer’s and Planter’s Almanac in North Carolina, are available locally.

No matter, any almanac you consult will contain interesting articles about gardening and astronomy, as well as homespun advice.

For example, this year’s Blum’s Almanac includes interesting articles about honey bees and a look at the heroic NASA astronauts who walked on the Moon.

Meteorologists have long criticized farmer’s almanacs for their gobbledygook and bad forecasting. Yet, fans say their almanacs have identified weather patterns way ahead of the scientists.

The famous Old Farmer’s Almanac, a New England favorite, was founded in 1792; its editor claims he holds a secret formula developed by founder Robert Thomas, just after the American Revolution.

The Old Farmer’s formula factors in the conic sections of planetary orbits, the rise and fall of sun spots, plus varied high and low tide trends. Today, Old Farmer’s has supposedly computerized Thomas’ 18th century formula to make the predictions that are even more accurate—but says who?

Regardless of editor claims, the Old Farmer’s Almanac doesn’t have access to the vast database of terrestrial and space weather agencies such as NOAA and NASA, a database which includes today’s changing climate, manmade or otherwise (we’ll leave it to the experts to argue over). Nor does the almanac have access to a Cray supercomputer for complex weather pattern modeling.

I recall that the year 2007 marked a turning point for claims about the accuracy farmer’s almanacs.

At that time, a meteorologist at the Pennsylvania State University released his study of the Old Farmer’s weather track record. It wasn’t very flattering for almanac publishers and fans.

According to Penn State’s Dr. Paul Knight, secrecy—in the case of the Old Farmer’s Almanac’s weather forecasting—is an indicator that it’s probably bogus. This, secrecy means no one objective can get a peek at how it all works.

“The ability to predict events… (so) far in advance is zero,” Dr. Knight was quoted in a September 2007 Penn State news statement about his research. “There’s no proven skill, there’s no technique that’s agreed upon in science to be able to do that. If you have something that’s really innovative and shows skill, then bring it before your peers. You don’t have to show us everything in case you want to make a business out of it, but give us some idea.”

Meanwhile, for our region, my copy of Blum’s Almanac predicts unsettled weather and gusting winds around Thanksgiving and then cold rains for Christmas with fair and cold times around New Year’s Eve, but becoming milder early in the New Year of 2017.

The best advice we can pass along to our almanac fans and critics is that wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.

e’ve witnessed the process growing worse election by election, but clearly this year’s campaign has now reached new depths.

Key factors that can corrupt even the most well-intentioned among us are all in play this year and they are affecting more than just those running for office.

Politics, money, influence, power and sex are the tools that fuels that drive Dan Alexander Washington, which is why we shouldn’t Thoughts from be at all surprised by what’s taking place.

Behind the Pressline But this year, the media has chosen to further flex it’s unbridled power and influence to play a role in creating extra drama, as both sides have argued, tipping the scales of this election through their reporting or lack of reporting.

Set party affiliation aside if you can for a moment. This election and the final two candidates have been in play for nearly two years. Nothing being revealed in the last few weeks about either candidate is new. It’s all old news.

So why are these breaking news events occurring at this pivotal point?

Forget fair and balanced. Forget your party affiliation and candidate choice.

This is pure octane spiking of the news for obvious reasons. Perceived scandals are far more stimulating, plain and simple.

If the national media with all their investigative crews, truly did it’s job all this “stuff ” would have come out long ago disqualifying these candidates and perhaps today we could be spending more time having conversations about the real issues that affect everyday Americans and the world.

This whole mess has been so carefully choreographed if it were a movie, they would have a landslide victory at the Academy Awards, but unfortunately it’s real life and this election will affect millions, both in negative and positive ways, for perhaps years to come.

Our Constitution calls on a free press to be the guardian of the people; to afflict the powerful and comfort the afflicted. Unfortunately, the national media has become far too influential and comfortable with the position they enjoy and are swayed by the flow of big money, much like our political system.

Their first priority is driving sales and enhancing the cash flow. Their second priority is to insure that continues long after the election with those in control of Washington.

At the end of the day, we are all afflicted with the human condition. We all have flaws and are prone to give in to those flaws along the way. Those in power and with financial security are even more at risk to be swayed to use their powerful influence for their own advancement.

This country was built on the premise that we could avoid these traps by keeping the power with the people. We have allowed ourselves to be manipulated and we are headed for trouble if we don’t turn things around very soon by demanding truth, accountability and limit the powerful from owning the upper hand.

All payer, one big provider Ethan Allen Institute

by John McClaughry

O

utgoing Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) made public the draft agreement he made with the Federal government’s Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). Its goal is to dramatically change the way health care services are paid for in Vermont. And of course, if the method of payment is dramatically changed, there will be major changes in who provides the services, to whom, when, and where.

The new All Payer Model is different from the Single Payer model enacted in 2011, but there are some troubling similarities.

Single Payer proposed to put almost all Vermonters into a government-controlled universal health care program.

Health insurance carriers would be put out of business. Vermonters would receive “free” care at the point of service, as in Quebec.

The appointed Green Mountain Care Board would receive and disburse most health care spending. With that enormous power plus strong regulatory authority, the Board would instruct all hospitals, nursing homes, doctors, dentists and other providers to efficiently provide “appropriate care at the appropriate time in the appropriate setting.”

This Single Payer plan was to be financed by combining $5 billion of Medicaid funds, Medicare payment flows, the lump sum of ObamaCare premium credits, and new taxes on Vermonters to make up for the disappeared private insurance premiums.

It took Shumlin three years to figure out that the new taxes would have to be heavy enough to bring in at least $2 billion a year from Vermont taxpayers, a sum a third larger than the state’s current General Fund budget. In December 2014 he scrapped that plan as politically impossible.

Shumlin and his Board then set out to contrive a different Model, called All Payer. Under this plan, private insurers would continue to exist, collect premiums, and pay provider claims, as would Medicaid and Medicare. The CMS would inject $209 million in new money. But unlike Single Payer, where the Board would sit atop the payment pipeline, under All Payer the three payers would make payments directly to the providers – or, rather, to the One Big Provider.

The One Big Provider is the Accountable Care Organization (ACO), already in formation. Eventually the ACO would take in all the money from the three payers and use it to provide patients with “appropriate care at the appropriate time in the appropriate setting.”

At first, patients and doctors could opt out of the One Big Provider, but the goal is to pressure them to take their place within the giant health care monopoly. The three principal payers (Medicaid, Medicare, and commercial) would prepay the ACO for (supposedly) keeping the patients “aligned” with it healthy for the year.

Why are we doing all this? The first powerful reason – never stated in the handouts and slide shows – is this: by creating a monopoly comprised of almost all of the providers, coupled with a government board that has full regulatory control over the three payers, All Payer is a giant step toward resurrecting Single Payer. Instead of collecting the payments and disbursing them to the monopoly One Big Provider, the Board will control Medicaid and tell the other two payers – Medicare and commercial insurance – how much to pay, and for what.

The role of the ACO, the One Big Provider, is to figure out how to provide care that meets the Board’s quality standards, without incurring penalties for overspending. Spending in excess of 115% of the ACO’s budget will however enjoy “stop loss” protection funded by taxpayers and premium payers.

The urgent argument for All Payer is to reduce the health care spending curve from a projected 6 percent to a 3.5 percent increase per year. It is also to replace traditional “fee for service” medicine with “payment for value”, although discerning just what constitutes “value” is very challenging.

The ACO will become the care rationing mechanism once removed from the government itself. As in Quebec Single Payer, the ACO will always have its global budget in mind when it faces expensive decisions – perhaps about you.

Hamilton Davis, the veteran health care journalist and Single Payer advocate, remarked a year ago that “A [nonintegrated] system of 14 hospitals and thousands of doctors spending somewhere north of $3 billion each year is hideously complex. How can the Board manage such a thing?

The Board can’t possibly do that.” Neither can the ACO Board.

As All Payer’s monopoly ACO struggles to restrict spending by providers it doesn’t own, it will enlist the government’s Board to enforce its decisions. All Payer will steadily come to resemble Single Payer, of unhappy memory.

Meals on Wheels seniors with pets to benefit

By Lou Varricchio MIDDLEBURY – Homeward Bound, Addison County’s Humane Society, has a long, inspiring history of being good shepherds in the caring of, and finding new homes for, dogs, cats and all the other critters we love to cherish.

Now that heartfelt, volunteer effort has been rewarded thanks to a $1,000 grant from the Walter Cerf Fund through the Vermont Community Foundation.

“The grant is to support the shelter’s Pets Eat, Too, program which provides food for the pets of Meals on Wheels recipients through a partnership with the Champlain Valley Agency on Aging,” according to Homeward Bound’s Executive Director Jess Danyow. “Pets Eat, Too is a year-round program of ours that ranks highly in our efforts to work in the community.”

Danyow said that the pets-version of Meals on Wheels is less than a decade old but has grown steadily each year.

“The number of seniors to whom pet food was delivered increased by 25 percent last year,” Danyow said. “Our program enables these seniors to continue to provide for their companion animals, an activity most of us take for granted but which is vital to self-esteem and feeling efficacious in the world.”

Addison County resident Mary Petersen, 92, is especially thankful for her Pets Eat, Too, meals.

“I was worried about giving up my cat Muffin to the shelter,” the senior citizen told the Eagle. “The Pets Eat meals has enabled me to keep Muffin—she’s my little baby.”

Such an example illustrates Homeward Bound’s mission of recognizes

pets as real, albeit furry or feathered, members of the family.

“We believe in this program because we believe that we cannot help animals without helping people,” Danyow added. “Pets Eat, Too, is critical to our mission because it helps preserve the human-animal bond and keep pets in homes.”

For more details about Pets Eat, Too, call 802-388-1100.

ips from RCHS about Avoiding Wildlife When Driving: With fall arriving, more wildlife is moving about especially at night and the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) has a few tips. It’s important to be particularly alert when driving, especially at night. Slow down in wildlife areas such as near ponds, rivers, farms and woods.

Pay attention to both sides of the road for animals that might be ready to step out in front of your car. Look for animal’s reflective eyes which are often visible from a distance.

Your car is not recognized by animals as a predator and even if they see it they may run out in front of you. If you hit a deer or moose, pull off to the side of the road and put on your flashers. Don’t approach the animal. Report the collision to the state wildlife agency or police. For more information please contact RCHS at 483.6700.

Police arrest man following 911 call

RUTLAND – On Oct. 9, Vermont State Police-Rutland received multiple 911 calls from a residence on Orchard Hill in Pittsford. The calls were repeatedly hung up, however 911 operators could hear fighting or arguing in the background. While troopers were responding, 911 operators were able to reach a person at the residence and learned a physical altercation had taken place.

Troopers learned Alexander W. Lucci had caused serious bodily injury to a family or household member by strangulation during the altercation. Lucci was taken into custody and transported to the Vermont State Police Barracks in Rutland Town.

The victim was transported to the Rutland Regional Medical Center for injuries sustained during the altercation. These injuries appeared to be non-life threatening.

Lucci was later lodged at the Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility. He is scheduled to be arraigned at Vermont Superior Court, Criminal Division on Oct. 10 for the charge of first degree aggravated domestic assault.

Rutland man was impaired

RUTLAND – On Oct. 8, troopers from the Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks were actively patrolling West Street in Rutland when they stopped Alexander Maranville, 25, for a motor vehicle violation.

During the stop Maranville displayed several indicators of impairment. Maranville provided a sample of his breath for a preliminary breath test which indicated his breath alcohol concentration was .210 percent.

Maranville was subsequently taken into custody for suspicion of DUI and brought to the State Police Barracks in Rutland for processing.

After processing, Maranville was issued a citation to appear in Rutland Superior Court Criminal Division at a later date and released.

ADDISON – On Oct. 12, at approximately 6:38 p.m., Vermont State Police troopers were advised of a two-car motor vehicle collision on VT Route 17 E in Addison.

The State Police arrived on scene and identified operator 1 as Lindsey Reed, 33, of Addison.

Reed advised police that prior to the collision she was travelling westbound on Route 17 E at approximately 25 mph.

Reed said that she, and the vehicle in front of her, were travelling behind a tractor trailer rig up a hill; she did not notice the vehicle in front of her apply the brakes, as she was focused on the rig.

Reed said that she subsequently rear-ended the vehicle in front of her.

Reed was not injured but her vehicle, a 2007 Volvo, sustained minor front damage.

State Police subsequently identified operator 2 as Susan Brown, 56, of Albany, Vt. Like Reed, Brown also drove a 2007 Volvo.

Prior to the collision, Brown had been travelling westbound on Route 17 E at approximately 25 mph behind the truck rig. Brown told troopers that she was subsequently rear-ended by the vehicle in behind her.

Brown was not injured; her vehicle sustained moderate rear-end contact damage.

State Police told the Eagle that alcohol or drugs were not a factor in the accident.

Killington: Prepping for skiing’s “World Cup”

By Lou Varricchio RUTLAND – It’s late October. Take a drive up the flanks of Killington Mountain to Vermont’s largest ski area, Killington Resort. You’ll see something pretty amazing underway. Employees of the resort west of Rutland are like a swarm of autumnal ants, waking up for the big push; they’re gearing up for something looming big on the horizon.

That “something big” is the 2016 Audi FIS Ski World Cup which comes to Vermont’s largest ski area Nov. 26-27. The celebrated big event will be televised around the world and its coming to Vermont.

Killington workers have started snowmaking already in advance of the World Cup. “Our operations team has snowmaking and grooming down to a science, which makes Killington able to host an event of this magnitude early in the season,” said Mike Solimano, Killington’s president. “Hosting the World Cup is a tremendous opportunity for both Killington and the east in general. We are preparing for a successful event regardless of how much powder Mother Nature drops between now and Thanksgiving.”

During the summer, according to Solimano, Killington workers were already getting the resort ready for the World Cup. “We dedicated a snowmaking team to specifically build the race venue on Superstar where the women’s slalom and giant slalom races will take place,” Solimano said. “Our snowmaking system has the ability to pump more than 720,000 gallons of water into 240 snow guns, covering 80 acres with 12 inches of fresh snow in a matter of hours.”

Bright lights illuminated Killington and Skye Peaks just before dawn this week, with snow-building stockpiles for both public consumption on the mountain’s North Ridge trails and the World Cup races on the legendary trail Superstar.

Killington will be the first mountain in the eastern US to host an Alpine World Cup event in 25 years.

Solimano said that the general public is invited to view the women’s giant slalom and slalom races in a free general admission area, which will accommodate approximately 7,500 spectators.

Free parking and shuttle buses for event spectators will be provided during the weekend of Nov. 26-27.

The 2016 Audi FIS Ski World Cup comes to Vermont’s largest ski area Nov. 26-27. The celebrated big event will be televised around the world and its coming to Vermont.

Hunter Safety

Published by New Market Press, Inc.

Lifelong hunters

Basics start young Firearm Safety Rules

• Assume every gun is loaded • Control the muzzle. Point your gun in a safe direction • Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot • Be sure of your target and beyond

Hunter Orange Facts

Deer cannot tell red or orange from green.

• Deer do not have red-sensitive cone cells in their eyes, and can’t tell red or orange from green and brown.

• Deer have different sensitivity to various wavelengths of light than humans.

• Deer see short wavelength colors such as blue (and even ultra-violet, which humans cannot even see) brighter than humans do, but deer are less sensitive to longer wavelengths such as orange and red, so these colors look darker to deer.

Wearing Hunter Orange Saves Lives Hunter orange prevents other hunters from mistaking a person for an animal, or shooting in your direction.

Hunters who wear hunter orange are less likely to be shot.

Big game hunters who were involved in firearm related incidents were not wearing hunter orange.

Hunting on Tree Stands

Hunting deer from trees first became popular with bowhunters who needed to be within “spitting distance” for an effective shot.

Today, many firearm hunters have also taken to the trees. Hunting from trees has advantages, but also some big disadvantages.

Advantages • View -- You can see above the brush in some situations.

• Scent -- Your scent will drift over very close deer -- If they approach from the right direction.

• Concealment -- Deer don’t often look up, so tree stands put you above their line of sight -- If they are very close.

Disadvantages • No mobility -- You can’t move for a better look or to get a shot.

• Conspicuous -- From a distance, deer can see you without looking up. A hunter in a tree is conspicuous, especially if he or she moves.

• Heavy equipment -- Transporting tree stands and climbing equipment can involve some serious work.

• Dangerous -- Serious injuries and deaths from tree stand falls are increasingly common.

Tree Stand Safety Tips

Hunter using safety straps Even with disadvantages and hazards, tree stands are popular and productive, especially for bowhunters. If you do choose to use one, here are some tips to help get the most out of your arboreal hunting experience.

• Hunt deer, not trees. Find the deer first. Look for trails, droppings, feeding and bedding areas and other deer signs, then find a tree within easy shooting range that will put you in a good location relative to the wind.

• Use a sturdy, portable stand. Permanent stands nailed into trees are dumb and deadly. They give away your secret hunting spots to anybody who sees them. They are difficult to move when deer change their trails a few feet. Ugly boards and spikes that ruin chain saws make land owners mad. The worst is that they rot. Weakened wooden steps and stands kill and cripple hunters. Even pressure treated wood gets a dangerous slippery growth.

• Know the rules. On state lands, it is illegal to place nails or other hardware into trees, or to build permanent structures, such as tree stands, platforms and blinds. On private lands, it is illegal to cut or remove trees or other plants, or to cut limbs or damage bark (such as from putting up blinds or tree stands, or cutting shooting lanes or trails) without the landowner’s permission.

• Don’t go too high. Remember that the higher you go, the smaller the vital zone on a deer becomes. And the likelihood of a serious injury escalates if you fall from high up. Usually, 15 to 20 feet is high enough.

• Use a safety belt for climbing. Most falls happen when going up and down the tree, and in and out of the stand. Good commercial climbing belts are available.

• Never try to carry guns or bows up and down trees. They get in the way of safe climbing; they get dropped; and climbing with guns can result in hunters shooting themselves. Always use a rope to raise and lower bows and guns -- Unloaded.

• As soon as you get in a tree stand -- strap in. A body harness is better than a plain safety belt, but a belt is a whole lot better than nothing. If you just have a safety belt, attach it high - around your chest - to avoid injury from the belt if you fall. A short tether connecting you to the tree to prevent a fall is safer than a long one to catch you after a fall. Also, a short tether can make you a better shot. It lets you concentrate on shooting instead of balancing.

No matter their age, all aspiring hunters, bowhunters and trappers must first successfully complete their respective hunter education course before purchasing their first license.

Here in Vermont, the courses are free, led by certified volunteer instructors, and open to all ages and experience levels.

The courses include basic firearm, bowhunter, combination hunter-bowhunter, and trapper education.

Though available year-around, most courses are offered between August and October. All courses include a hands-on field day.

Finding a course is easy using online registration. Computer bookmark this link for Vermont’s course listings: www.register-ed.com/programs/vermont To find a course or for more information relating to Vermont, see online: www.vtfishandwildlife.com/hunt/hunter_education Homestudy option: Most courses are offered in a homestudy format to meet the needs of today’s busy lifestyles. Rather than attending a series of classroom lectures, students complete a workbook or an online course. before attending a field day.

Youth season: The State of Vermont offers three special youth-only hunting seasons – spring turkey, waterfowl and deer – to ensure young hunters get the quality training they need from experienced hunters. These special , weekend-long seasons increase confidence in the hands-on use of firearms, reinforce the principles of hunting safety and promote interest in hunting and wildlife conservation. Most importantly, they take place under the supervision of an experienced, unarmed mentor.

Being with family and friends is the most important reason why kids hunts and hunting regularly during one’s youth leads to lifelong hunting participation. Thus these seasons are helping to produce confident, avid young hunters who go on to become successful, enthusiastic adult hunters.

No matter their age, all aspiring hunters, bowhunters and trappers must first successfully complete their respective hunter education course before purchasing their first license.

New deer hunting rules

in 2016 The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Board voted to make several changes to deer hunting regulations starting this year. They did this in collaboration with the Fish & Wildlife Department after gathering information through public hearings, regional working groups, and by listening to department staff, hunters, and landowners.

During this process, the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department conducted a public survey and found that 68 percent of Vermont hunters were generally satisfied with Vermont deer hunting. As a result, the Fish & Wildlife Board decided to implement several small changes to deer hunting regulations instead of a major overhaul.

The camps are rustic, some rely on propane lights and cooking, wood heat, primitive water systems, outhouses, and bunk-style accommodations. For details, contact Nate Wakefield (paulgranby@aol.com) or Ed Davis (fudgebus@aol.com).

Crossbows: Crossbows are now legal in Vermont for hunters aged 50 and older whenever a regular bow and arrow can be used for hunting. The Board decided to allow these hunters to use a crossbow because license sales data indicate that participation in archery hunting declines among hunters in their 50’s. Crossbows may still be used by

Where

hunt?

Vermonters have a proud heritage of living close to the land in our very rural state. Hunting is a way of life here. In fact, the Vermont Constitution guarantees the right to hunt.

Perhaps the crown jewel of hunting in Vermont is the state’s system of Wildlife Management Areas, or WMAs. All WMAs are open to hunting, trapping, fishing and other wildlife related outdoor activities except in specifically designated areas.

Check out the WMA maps on the Fish & Wildlife website (www.vtfishandwildlife. com), and in the “Guide to Wildlife Management Areas of Vermont” guidebook, available through the online store.

Article 67 states “The inhabitants of this State shall have liberty in seasonable times, to hunt and fowl on the lands they hold, and on other lands not enclosed.”

But what does that mean?

All private land in Vermont is open to hunters unless that land is “Posted” against hunting. The only exception is that landowner permission is required for youth turkey and youth deer hunting.

While landowner permission is not required for hunters on private lands, hunters should still ask the permission of the landowner before proceeding. Hunters who treat the land and landowner with respect usually find that landowners are happy to grant permission.

Visit www.vtfishandwildlife.com for tips on hunting on private land.

Vermont has more than 800,000 acres of federal and state public land open to hunting; National Wildlife Refuges, the Green Mountain National Forest, and all state forests. State parks are open to hunting outside the operating season.

After the tragic events of Sept. 11, 2001, in which his brother and sister-in-law lost their lives, he exhibited exceptional leadership in calling for forgiveness and mercy, as well as peace and reconciliation among all people.

While bishop of Burlington, Angell served on the board of trustees of Wadhams Hall Seminary and Champlain College and was active in the Vermont Ecumenical Council and Bible Society. In addition, Angell received honorary degrees from Providence College, Our Lady of Providence Seminary, Salve Regina College and St. Michael’s College.

Continued from page 1 “As of May 9, 2014, the … petition for a CPG should have been amended to make GMP a co-petitioner, or otherwise to recognize GMP’s equitable, beneficial ownership interest in the Cold River Project,” the motion states.

Since the petition was not amended, the neighbors argue, the board’s approval of the project on March 11, 2015 “does not address the responsibilities of GMP under the provisions of Section 248, including subdivision (b)(6) as equitable owner of the project and is therefore void.”

Their motion adds: “The CPG issued … is not also issued to GMP, the beneficial owner, (and) is similarly void ab initio.”

David Fucci, one of the project’s neighbors, told Watchdog that neither the Public Service Board nor local neighbors knew the power purchase agreement had been significantly and materially modified.

“We found out that the whole time we were

www.addison-eagle.com

before the Public Service Board and the Supreme Court, (groSolar) had drafted a different purchase power agreement, and basically they were selling their rights to GMP for $1.

In essence, GMP was the owner,” Fucci said.

Fucci said groSolar and GMP made no effort to notify the parties of interest. He added that if the PSB had seen the change, the project would have been under a different set of criteria, because it would be utility-owned instead of privately owned.

“My gut told me something was going on when Green Mountain Power had their own attorneys there at the Public Service Board hearing,” Fucci said. “I was thinking, if they have no vested interest in this project, then why do they have a law presence here?”

GMP didn’t respond to requests for comment in time for publication. GroSolar emailed the following statement: “GroSolar is committed to working with communities and addressing concerns by finding project locations with little visual impact to the average person. The Cold River Road project is located in an area of commercial activity and abuts

the Rutland Economic Development Corporation’s Business Park. Final completion is slated for late spring following landscaping.”

George said he would not comment until “all parties have had the opportunity to respond.” Public Service Board Clerk Judith Whitney said the board does not comment on ongoing cases.

According to Fucci, there has been yet a third power purchase agreement that takes GMP back out of the agreement. “It’s been like a three-ring circus,” he said.

The Cold River Project has endured steady opposition from Rutland residents. While the PSB approved the 15-acre 2.3-megawatt solar field in March 2015, neighbors waged a legal fight over alleged negative environmental and aesthetic impacts of the project, appealing the case all the way to the Vermont Supreme Court.

The high court, by a 3-2 vote in May, sided with the Public Service Board’s decision to approve the project.

GroSolar is about a month and a half into construction on the power plant. Fucci said

the construction is visible at its location on Cold River Road.

ON THE COVER: Neighbors in Rutland claim that the state’s approval of the Cold River solar project is void due to an undisclosed ownership agreement between Green Mountain Power and groSolar.

Potwins

Continued from page 1 For those with short memories, Britton, a Republican, ran for the U.S. Senate against the National Mall’s most notable of incumbent fossil specimens, U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy.

According to producer Broyles, the duo’s sitcom offering is really more like a series of vignettes.

“It’s about a Vermont middle-class family doing its best to make ends meet while negotiating the choppy waters of today’s politically correct world,” Broyles said.

Let’s face it: thanks to the lingering fallout of the 1960s leftist social revolution, it’s not easy to raise a traditional family in Vermont (or anywhere else in the USA for that matter.)

That’s why the new series plot line should strike a chord with many Vermont families struggling to keep pop culture, blended bathrooms, and social relativism at a moral distance.

While all the cultural decline may not be funny to experience in reality, “The Potwins” provides the needed belly laughs to keep it all in perspective and help continue the fight for what’s right—pun intended.

Series patriarch Nate Potwin, played by Kevin Molduene, and his wife Judy, played by Christine Penny, want nothing more than to raise their rambunctious children, teenagers Megyn (Emily Friedrichsen) and Billy (Jonah Britton, son of the co-producer) with traditional values, pay their bills and enjoy their close-knit group of friends.

Despite the family’s best intentions, they constantly run afoul of the P.C world around them.

In the premiere episode, “Earth Day,” Billy gets his fa-

ther in trouble with the EPA, when he mistakenly tells his environmentally zealous Vermont teacher that Dad is in favor of the polar bears’ demise. In “The Grapes of Carbon Tax,” the Potwin gang pack up their possessions — in a funny 2016 reboot of John Steinbeck’s 1930s Joad family— and heads to the distant state line after Montpelier politicians pass a 90 cent per gallon gas tax.

According to Britton, “With so much negativity in the political arena these days, it’s been fun to create a series that makes a point and at the same time is humorous and entertaining.”

Broyles, who is also in charge of promoting the series, also enjoys the new sitcom venture.

“We’re excited about growing ‘The Potwins’ into a fullfledged show,” he said. “We have an amazing cast and crew for our pilot episodes — virtually all Vermonters. They bring the show to life. We’re releasing our comedy on multiple social media platforms allowing us a potentially broad audience immediately.”

“The Potwins” may not have the benefit of a slick Holly-
