House fire kills one in Panton By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com
PANTON — According to area fire officials, one person is dead after a fire ravaged a residence in Panton, located near the Vergennes city limits, in the early morning hours of Oct.24. At approximately 4:30 a.m., Vergennes Fire, Addison Fire, and Ferrisburgh Fire crews responded to the fire at the residence located at 847 Route 22A. Fire officials classified the blaze as a structure fire with a fatality. By 7 a.m., fire officials reported via the online Addison County Fire Alerts Facebook site that the blaze was extinguished. At press time Oct. 24, state and local investigators were still on the scene determining the cause and extent of the fire. Eyewitnesses on the scene saw firefighters remove a body from the house, but no additional information or identification was available.

Addison County Forum: Carbon tax debate to come after the election By Emma Lamberton and Bruce Parker bparker@watchdog.org
MIDDLEBURY — When eight candidates for state government met at an Addison County forum Tuesday night, some told reporters that they support imposing a carbon tax on Vermonters, but others said no way. A $500 million carbon tax bill will be introduced at the State House when lawmakers reconvene in January (after the November election). While some lawmakers support it in principle, finding ones who will say so publicly isn’t always easy. But on Tuesday night a few incumbents,
and some freshman candidates, were willing to speak on the topic — if only briefly. “I support this type of legislation at a federal or local level,” state Rep. Amy Sheldon, (D-Middlebury) said. “But if we can do it and do it well … maybe the rest of the country will get on board.” As envisioned by the environmentalist network Energy Independent Vermont, the tax would be imposed on fuel distributors, and the proceeds directed to an energy independence fund to offer financial incentives for Vermonters to reduce fossil fuel use. The group says the tax hike, which would phaseContinued on page 7

More arrests during Hinesburg pipeline protest By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com
HINESBURG — The 41-mile-long Vermont Gas natural gas pipeline running from Colchester to Middlebury has received its share of delays and cost overruns in recent years. Some of the delays have been attributed to technical issues, protesters and lawsuits from landowners. On Oct. 20, more than 100 protestors showed up at *:30 a.m., to protest one of the final segments of the pipeline still under construction in Hinesburg. The protest, coordinated by Rising Tide, an anti-pipeline, anti-fossil fuel activist group, began at Geprags Park. After assembling at the park, the marchers headed across Shelburne Falls Road to the Vermont Gas construction site. After the arrest of six individuals by local police for trespassing, protestors moved north to Vermont Gas headquarters on Swift Street in South Burlington. Police reported that no arrests were made at the site. Time is running out for Rising Tide activists in their efforts to stop the pipeline project.

Middlebury water lines: Who pays the bill? By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com
MIDDLEBURY — In the case of who pays the bill for public water line repairs in Middlebury, it appears the devil is in the details. That’s what Munson Road resident Mike Davis discovered when he received a letter from the town informing him that he, along with three other neighbors, were responsible for fixing their 2-inch water service line. What Davis and his neighbors didn’t know, is that the water line coming into their homes are not part of Middlebury’s public water system. Davis spoke at a recent Middlebury Select Board meeting to inform board members that he, and his neighbors, were in the

dark about their responsibilities. According to the board, the Munson Road service lines were installed in 1962 and listed in the town’s “Private Water Line Book”. Davis asked the board how homeowners, having moved into their homes many years after 1962, were notified about the “private” arrangement. The question by Davis seemed to catch board members off guard. After a discussion, board members instructed the Public Works Department to start the repairs and “line and bill back the homeowners for the work.” According to Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay, “The Board also directed town staff to research other properties in Middlebury with private water line arrangements and notify affected property owners.”

Greasing the CarbonTax skids with green
S
ome individuals—and that includes both elected and unelected citizens— flex far too much power over our lives, typically behind the scenes and without ever asking our consent. Here in Vermont, wealthy businessman David Blittersdorf has been influencing our local economy and state law through his bulging wallet; he’s pals with some of Vermont’s most influential lawmakers, at least according to the Ethan Allen Institute (EAI) think-tank in Montpelier. EAI President Rob Roper recently reported that a study, prepared by the 20-member coalition of special interest groups known as Energy Independent Vermont (EIV), was paid for in part by David Blittersdorf of All Earth Renewables. If the draconian Vermont Carbon Tax were put into effect as proposed—and it now seems very likely to at least be debated in 2017, safely after the election—10 percent of the taxpayers money raised by this anti-business, anti-tourist, and anti-commuter tax would be earmarked to subsidize renewable energy businesses such as Mr. Blittersdorf ’s energy company in Hinesburg. “He has a pretty good track record of getting what he wants out of the Vermont legislature,” Roper told the Eagle. “He’s a major donor to the majority (Democratic) party. Some of Mr. Blittersdorf ’s donations this cycle include $10,000 to the Vermont State Democratic Committee in February 2015, and two $5,000 donations to the same in July of this year. He also made a maximum $4,000 contribution to Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sue Minter.” It’s obvious that money influences political outcomes. We see it from the Clinton Foundation machine to the hallways of Montpelier’s Golden Dome: pay-for-play isn’t something from the fevered reveries of a conspiracy theorist. It’s real and in plain sight for all of us to see. “The financial and lobbying power of this (EIV) coalition is massive in its parts, but Energy Independent Vermont also has its own full time executive director in Thomas Hughes,” Roper added. “It’s worth noting that Hughes is the former executive director of the Vermont Democrat Party.” Need we repeat the fact that EIV commissioned the study, with Mr. Blittersdorf ’s help, of how the Carbon Tax would be good for Vermont?

Supporting the data I
n last week’s column I wrote about the influence money is having on the national media. A new report, focused solely on the newspaper industry, has just been released by the UNC School of Media and Journalism’s Center for Innovation and Sustainability in Local Media titled “The Rise of a New Media Baron and the Emerging Threat of News Deserts” The report details what we’ve seen happening here for some time, that being the primary mission of the new newspaper owner is to solely make money for their investors and shareholders without great concern for community or staff. The report explores the possibility that many communities may soon Dan Alexander lose their primary source of local news, leaving behind vast Thoughts from news deserts across entire regions of the country. Behind the Pressline Here is the lead paragraph for the report which says it all; Over the past decade, a new media baron has emerged in the United States. Private equity funds, hedge funds and other newly formed investment partnerships have swooped in to buy — and actively manage — newspapers all over the country. These new owners are very different from the newspaper publishers that preceded them. For the most part they lack journalism experience or the sense of civic mission traditionally embraced by publishers and editors. Newspapers represent only a fraction of their vast business portfolios — ranging from golf courses to sub-prime lenders — worth hundreds of millions, even billions, of dollars. Their mission is to make money for their investors, so they operate with a short-term, earnings-first focus and are prepared to get rid of any holdings — including newspapers — that fail to produce what they judge to be an adequate profit. “For more than 200 years, newspapers have been an indispensable auditor of democracy at all levels,” said Penelope Muse Abernathy, author of the report and Knight Chair of Journalism and Digital Media Economics in the School of Media and Journalism. “By documenting the seismic changes in newspaper ownership, this report seeks to raise awareness about the multiple challenges confronting local news organizations, and the impact the loss of newspapers can have on the health and vitality of communities throughout the country.” The report is based on analysis of data from 2004 to 2016, collected on more than 9,500 local newspapers. Here are some of the findings: Since 2004, more than a third of the country’s newspapers have changed ownership, some sold two or more times. The largest newspaper companies are larger than ever, and still growing. Some of the largest chains have been assembled by investment fund managers, with newspapers representing only a fraction of their vast business portfolios. The largest investment groups tend to employ a standard formula in managing their newspapers – aggressive cost cutting paired with financial restructuring. Most newspapers owned and operated by investment groups are located in economically struggling small and mid-sized communities where the newspaper is the primary source of local news. Newspapers must adapt to the digital age to remain viable community builders. This will require a significant investment by newspaper owners and a long-term commitment to struggling communities, not a short-term earnings focus. Without significant fresh investments by the new owners, the bond between newspapers and their communities will erode, with numerous small cities and towns facing the real threat of becoming a news desert.

VIEWPOINT
Defend Vermont’s independent schools
F
or years, indeed decades, Vermont’s public school Establishment has regularly found ways to put pressure on the non-sectarian independent schools that receive tuition for pupils from the 90 “tuition towns”. Why? Many within the Establishment believe that public money ought to be spent only on the (unionized) public schools, regardless of their value to the pupils. Some of them believe that parents are underqualified to make choices about their child’s education. Some of them dislike having competition. There’s also money involved, especially when the school-age population is dropping. In 1997, when Act 60 was passed, pupils numbered 106,000. Today they are down to around 87,000. This means that public schools as a whole have accumulated underused capacity. In many cases this translates to small class sizes, a nationleading low pupil to staff ratio (4.7:1), and very high cost per pupil – for K-12, now nearly $18,000 per year. That is 160% of the national average. One idea for bringing in more pupil revenue to cover these stranded costs was simply to expand schooling from K-12 to PreK-12. That universal PreK idea was successfully sold between 2005 and 2014, when it was made mandatory. Another idea was to force tuition towns into unified districts, where their parents could choose only among that district’s public schools, and not independent schools (Act 46). When the public school pupil shortage still remained, and
Hemp across the border
W
hat if there was one crop that could produce a variety of really useful products? Growing this crop would probably seem like a no-brainer. Unless this crop is industrial hemp here in the USA. Industrial hemp, one variety of the plant Cannabis sativa, can produce a wide variety of products. For example, because hemp is a relative to marijuana, growing the crop is still illegal in Vermont. But across the border in Quebec, growing industrial hemp was legalized in 1998. Canadian farmers first have to get a license from the government to grow hemp. Then they can only plant the seeds of specific cultivars, or types, of hemp. These specific cultivars have been approved by the Canadian government because they contain minimal amounts of THC. (THC is the psychoactive component found in marijuana.) Finally, farmers in eastern Canada face an additional challenge because very little is known about how to grow hemp in wet, eastern Canada (which is a lot like Vermont).
threatened a reduced collection of union dues and agency fees, the Establishment began to try to cut off public support for tuition town pupils who chose independent (nonunionized) schools over public schools. Last November the Vermont Board of Education, spearheaded by the state’s foremost defender of mandatory public education against the menace of choices made by unqualified parents, Dr. William Mathis (the former superintendent of Rutland N.E. School District), launched a new attack. Mathis won approval of a resolution requiring, among other things, that independent schools that receive public tuition payments must offer special education services in all ten disability categories. The four large “tuition academies” already do. The small independent schools usually can provide special education for pupils with “learning disabilities” (difficulty with reading, writing and math – 28% of the special ed population). But they can’t afford to hire the specialized expertise needed to deal with all 10 of the disability categories. If they can’t comply, the Mathis resolution would, as intended, bar them from accepting any public money for any pupils from the 90 tuition towns. The Vermont School Boards Association, a dependable member of the Establishment coalition, is joining in support of that rule. The obvious remedy is for Education Secretary Holcombe to put the brakes on the Board (always a touchy relationship), or legislatively override the Board, or barring that, to litigate the Board’s power to enforce the Mathis rule without explicit statutory support. More constructively, the legislature should offer all parents of special ed pupils the choice of whatever school or program – public or independent – best serves their children’s needs. This would be a Vermont clone of Florida’s McKay Scholarship program. This program, begun in 1999, now awards scholarship funds to 31,173 special education (“IEP” and “504”) pupils in 1,363 independent schools. The scholarship amounts are the amounts Industrial hemp grows best in drier soil conditions, like those in western Canada. Coming to the aid of eastern Canadian hemp producers is Dr. Philippe Seguin, associate professor at McGill University in Montreal. Dr. Seguin wants to help those farmers, in areas bordering Vermont, learn more about which hemp cultivars work best in their environment. He and his team of researchers selected 11 cultivars and planted them in seven different environments in Quebec. Even with these new strains, there is still plenty to learn about growing hemp in wet, eastern Canada. Research can now look at specific recommendations for growing hemp in eastern Canada and most likely Vermont if the plant is legalized in the near future. : the best times to plant the seeds, how much fertilizer to use, and the best times to harvest. And there are still other environments within eastern Canada to explore. Cultivars specifically for the environments of eastern Canada are needed. Overall, Seguin is optimistic. “Unlike many ‘new’ crops, industrial hemp has demonstrated its potential in the past; it only remains to be ‘rediscovered.’” With the help of Seguin and his team, farmers will be able to rediscover industrial hemp just across Vermont’s northern frontier. Susan Fisk works with the Soil Science Society of America.
the public schools would have spent on a participating child, up to the independent school’s tuition and fees. Since independent schools are usually less expensive than public schools, this would likely reduce overall special ed expenses. As the (Vermont) Commission on Rebalancing Education Cost and Value reported in 2009, “With every parent empowered to choose among public and independent schools and programs, parents are able to seek out curriculum options and instructional techniques that are best fitted to their children with special needs. Instead of being consigned to a public school special education program that is viewed by a school district as secondary to its main purpose and potentially the source of lots of trouble, parents could choose independent school programs whose principal purpose is helping special needs children.” Interestingly, the McKay Scholarship program is so popular in Florida that its rapid expansion won the support of Democrats and Republicans, whites, blacks, and Hispanics in the legislature. It has had the effect of strengthening independent schools as well as satisfying parents. If implemented, the Mathis resolution would seriously cripple the smaller independent schools, not to benefit special ed pupils, but to protect the overgrown public school monopoly against competitors that parents believe will better serve their children. We should be rewarding creativity, efficiency, and customer satisfaction, not entrenched monopoly. John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute.

Volunteers help patrol, spruce up local rivers By Lou Varricchio

MIDDLEBURY — Vermonters love their waterways for fishing, swimming and boating. However, the surfaces of our varied bodies of water, including lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams, often mask what lies beneath. Last month, anyone driving along several rivers in Vermont, including the Otter Creek between Rutland and Brandon, would have noticed adult and children river walkers searching for trash that doesn’t belong in a riverbed: junk such as tires, scrap metal, plastic toys, beverage cans, and lots more. These folks were volunteers for Vermont’s official River Cleanup Month. According to Lyn Munno, director of Watersheds United Vermont (WUV), “River Cleanup Month provides an opportunity to highlight the annual cleanups of watershed groups around Vermont and encourage more cleanups to take place.” Vermonters worked together to host 27 of the volunteers cleanups in September as well as earlier in the summer of 2016. WUV’s Munro said that planning for the 2017 river cleanup season gets underway in a few months. River cleanup volunteer Stephanie Nyzio, told the Eagle that, “I think it’s great that watershed groups and Vermonters come together to clean up our rivers as part of River Cleanup Month. It’s unfortunate that there are people who access the natural beauty of Vermont’s rivers that do not follow the ‘leave no trace’ principles, and leave behind cigarette butts and plastic bottles.”
MIDDLEBURY — Vermont U.S. Senate candidate and businessman Scott Milne, a Republican, was the only candidate in the senate race to reach out and visit the Eagle’s office this year.

Leahy) will outspend us by about $6 million.” Milne said that he wants to end career politics and supports self-imposed term limits. He nearly defeated Gov.

VPR’s poll, conducted after the two candidates debated on WCAX-TV, included 650 socalled likely voters. Scott is taking a one percent edge, 39 percent versus Minter’s 38 percent, but it is within Castleton’s 3.9 percent margin of error The poll indicates that 24 percent of independent voters in Vermont are undecided. The poll also shows that Minter performs better than Scott among those voters who aren’t paying attention to the race.

Citizen helps state troopers locate lost hiker By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com
RUTLAND – An unprepared hiker, lost near the giant boulders of the Ice Age-era rockslide of the White Rocks Recreation Area, was located south of Rutland. The disoriented hiker was safe and uninjured when he was found in one of Vermont’s most impenetrable wilderness areas, according to the Vermont State Police. On Oct. 18, hiker Ravinder Grewal, 54, a resident of El Cerrito, Calif., contacted Vermont 911 via his mobile phone; he told the 911 operator that he was disoriented and lost within the rocky and forested White Rocks area. According to VSP Trooper Jeffrey Stephenson, the 911 dispatcher was able to determine a general area where Grewal had become lost. Troopers from the Rutland area responded and discovered that the lost hiker was likely on a remote mountainside with no trail access. “Troopers, including a canine, and a volunteer citizen hiked into the general area Grewal was thought to be in,” Stephenson re-
ported in a VSP report of the incident Oct. 20. “After just under one hour, Grewal was located safe and escorted out of the forest without further incident. Investigation revealed Grewal had entered the forest from the White Rocks Picnic Area around... (1 p.m.)... and had become disorientated near dusk while attempting to hike back to his vehicle. Grewal left the established trail, realized he was lost and contacted Vermont 911. To his credit, Grewal remained stationary after calling 911 until searchers located him.” Troopers thanked Zachary Maniery, a resident of Wallingford, for his efforts in helping them locate Grewal. Maniery has detailed knowledge of the wilderness and rockslide area; he played a key role in quickly locating the hiker. Stephenson noted that Grewal was found uninjured; he recovered on the scene and police helped him to his vehicle parked at the wilderness area’s parking lot. An unprepared hiker, lost near the giant boulders of the Ice Age-era rockslide of the White Rocks Recreation Area, was located by state troopers, with the help of a local resident, south of Rutland.

Meeting
Famous alpine hut on Vermont’s tallest peak to reopen
walk or possibly widening the shoulder along Seminary Street Extension. Reinhart proposed the improvements between on the extension between East Road and Valley View Drive. Reinhardt pointed out to board members that “the sidewalk currently ends at the East Road and Seminary Street Extension intersection, creating a potential hazard for pedestrians navigating the narrow shoulder on Seminary Street Ext. before the sidewalk begins again beyond Valley View Drive.” According to Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay, board members agreed to refer the proposal to the town’s Infrastructure Committee under the chair of Susan Shashok. Next, Shashok’s committee will examine the town’s capital budget priorities to ascertain if the proposal is financially doable.

MONTPELIER — As the world’s mountains go, Vermont’s tallest massif would be relegated to a foothill in the Swiss Alps. No matter, Vermonters are especially proud of their champion, Mt. Mansfield, which visibly towers above the nearby valley floors at 4,393 feet above sea level. Each year, thousands of hikers make the trek to the summit to enjoy the view which includes lots of northern Vermont with New York, Quebec and New Hampshire around the compass-points. Hikers had enjoyed Mt. Mansfield’s historic Stone Hut until Christmas Eve 2015. At that time, a fire destroyed the classic alpine hut and the tradition of overnight mountaineering in the European-style appeared to be lost forever. But then, much like a Vermont mountaintop sunrise, the famous Stone Hut’s darkest moments ended with a brand new dawn. Thanks to a firm commitment to rebuild the structure, Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation officials also received funding help from Vermont Parks Forever, a non-profit foundation supporting state parks, According to Rochelle Skinner, a state parks manager, “Barring any last minute construction issues, the hut will be open to overnight guests again starting Dec. 1.” “We are so grateful for the incredible outpouring of support,” said Michael Snyder, the commissioner of FPR. “Everywhere I went people would tell me about their special Stone Hut experiences. Then they would offer to help in any way they could, either by donating supplies or labor, or offering financial support. It was amazing – and a testament to its importance in peoples’ lives.” Skinner noted that construction on the new Stone Hut began in mid-summer
and will be completed Nov. 1. “The structure wasn’t a total loss. The original stones were salvaged and used in the new building. We worked closely with historic preservation and our architect to re-create the hut as close to the original as possible, while incorporating new upgrades to meet new code and safety standards,” said Susan Bulmer, parks regional manager. Reservations for the Stone Hut are by lottery. Reservations are now being accepted through Nov. 14. More information about the Stone Hut, including detailed reservation procedures can be found at www.vtstateparks.com. Near the top of Mount Mansfield, reconstruction of the historic Stone Hut is nearing completion for the 2016-17 winter recreation season.
