New Haven Select Board opposes solar projects Part 2
By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com
September 2012 -
Lower tax burden A stronger economy 65485
NEW HAVEN Ñ Last week, the New Haven Select Board voted for the first time to oppose two solar power project proposals; the Board also wants to intervene in every proposed solar project coming to town. This local development comes on the heels of a growing movement 200 within the town against what Select Board member Doug print cards Tolles terms an Ò invasionÓ of large commercial projects in recent months. In a two-part interview, the Eagle asked Tolles why New Haven is ground zero in the current solar-power boom. This week, we present part 2 of the story. In part two of the interview, Tolles told the Eagle that he sees the current solar-power boom as squeezing out local control at the expense of state government. Huge tax incentives, which amount to nothing more than green corporate welfare, as well as anti-pollution creditsÑ that are linked to some companies far outside of VermontÑ are the underpinnings to the current boom. The Eagle: New Haven is fast becoming Solar Central here in Vermont. Some folks are happy about all the new solar power projects in town, but quite a few residents are waking up to find out they are going to be surrounded by power plants, cleverly termed Ò solar farms.Ó Some even have sheep running around below the solar arrays to make it all look so VermontyÑ so cuddly and cozy. Tolles: Red flags in the fields are a signal to us that these things are coming; that’s usually how the town finds out about this. On the way into the village of New Haven, on Route 17, thereÕ s a large open field on the right—you’ll see red flags there. We believe this one is a big sucker coming. Eagle: So what entity is behind this project? Tolles: Not a clue. Often times, even with a front man and a statement “for the benefit of,” we really don’t know who’s behind the projects. Eagle: But you do know some of the parties, correct? Tolles: Yes. Middlebury College is sticking a solar project in New Haven. The Misty Knolls project ostensibly benefits the co-op, the Lodge at Otter CreekÑ which had a recent name changeÑ is allegedly building one in New Haven, too. Eagle: Why New Haven? Why now?
Doug Tolles Tolles: ThereÕ s an economic hocus pocus underway. ItÕ s called RECs, Renewable Energy Credits. These things have a market value (like so called carbon credits). these things are traded, and thereÕ s economic value to them. So, some polluter in California can purchase these things and pollute more there because they are polluting less here. That’s part of it; another part of it is the Ò greenÓ movement where companies want to certify that they are renewable, so they use X amount of electricity in their headquarters inÑ sayÑ Seattle, Wash., and then they can claim they are offsetting it by generating electricity somewhere else. ItÕ s hocus pocus and we canÕ t connect the dots. WeÕ ve tried to chase a couple of them but you end up in some funny spots. We found a Utah Company building a solar project in Vermont. Why Vermont? Utah has plenty of sunshine. But New Haven has been targeted and IÕ m calling a Ò dumping ground.Ó Carol Hall, a fellow member of the Select Board calls us a Ò chosen location.Ó Only carol and I seem to show an active interest in whatÕ s going on. Eagle: How have the local representatives and state senators been involved? Are they concerned? What about those who supported the state law that enables this kind of hyper land develCONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE
November 1, 2014 opment? Tolles: Up to a few weeks ago, there was no interest from our state politicians (however, in August, Rep. Harvey Smith did talk with the Hastings on Dog Team Road about their concerns). However, at a recent Select Board meeting, Senators Claire Ayre and Chris Bray, and Rep. Smith were thereÑ even candidate Susan Smiley, whoÕ s running against Smith, showed up. It was well attended. A lot of residents are against the projects... Eagle: Why is that? Tolles: What has kicked in here is the New Haven Town Plan, which was adopted, overwhelmingly, by the voters. The plan states that the town supports solar facilities up to 300 kW capacityÑ thatÕ s it. So, I will support the Town Plan and as a Select Board member I support any project up to 300kW in capacity. The GroSolar projects are 17 times bigger. And the proposed project near Field Days is 2.2 megawatts, so thatÕ s more than seven times bigger than whatÕ s acceptable. I personally cannot support those projects. Eagle: What do these commercial projects pay in property taxes to the Town of Hew Haven? Tolles: On that issue, Rep. Smith suggested I contact the stateÕ s Office of Property Evaluation & Review in Montpelier. Doug Lay, the stateÕ s expert on how the law change will access the assessment of these properties. Properties used to be assessed in one manner but the Legislature changed the methodÑ so, next year things are going to be assessed differently. So how does this affect New Haven? LetÕ s look at Cross Pollination, the existing 2.2 megawatt array, on Route 7. Right now that project pays $28,000 in property taxes which includes some buildings, etc. But if you strip all that awayÑ and look at just the solar part of the propertyÑ the tax last year was $21,000. The tax next year, on the exact property, will be $11,000 (maybe $12,000) thanks to the LegislatureÕ s change in the law. The town is getting screwed big time: In the case of GroSolar, the cost to build the project is $18 million and theyÕ re going to pay $11,000 or $12,000 in property tax. The LegislatureÑ on purposeÑ completely disconnected the concept of market value or cost from assessment... TheyÕ re getting a tax break at everyone elseÕ s expense. Bottom line: The Vermont Legislature has subsidized these
www.addision-eagle.com facilities at the townÕ s expense. I call that Ò corporate welfare.Ó These are large corporations, large projects; they’re not farms— thatÕ s all baloney. Eagle: Any reactions from your elected state representatives? Tolles: Sen. Ayer denies that this steep reduction is true. SheÕ s either unable or unwilling to confer that Doug Lay is correct. Eagle: How about the local voters? Tolles: Many are upset. At a Select Board meeting a few weeks, a woman said, “we’re used to looking out at fields of corn; now we’re going to be looking at fields of glass.” Eagle: So, what does all this mean when it comes to VermontÕ s grand plan to transition fromÑ largelyÑ nuclear power to alternative electricity sources? Tolles: If you look at the math, thereÕ s simply not enough real estate in Vermont to generate the (green) power to offset the closing of Vermont Yankee. ItÕ s reasonable to say that New Haven will sponsor some factor, say, five times what we use—because weÕ re just good that wayÑ but 50 times? And the parade hasnÕ t stopped in new Haven. There’s still more coming; we don’t know where the end is. Eagle: Will the corporate subsidies keep going? Tolles: We do know that at the end of 2015 the taxpayer subsidies of these things will end; it will stop—unless they’re renewed. But two solar company reps told us that they had to complete their projects by 2015. That was when the key turned on the lights! ThatÕ s why theyÕ re rushing to build these things everywhere. ThereÕ s really no economic value in these things, if built at market rates; it has an infinite payback. Without the subsidies thereÕ s just no value, economically speaking. Eagle: Why no protesting about this brand of corporate wlefare? Tolles: There is the hypocrisy of it. I ask why hydroelectric generation is based on cost, and other electrical generation is based on cost, but solar is based on something else and is heavily subsidized? Is that fair? ItÕ s been said that the Vermont Legislature has made solar the Chosen Child and itÕ s going to get special treatment. Senators Ayre and Bray fully supported this in the State House. But if this kind of corporate welfare was given to other industries, weÕ d see pitch forks and torches in the streets. Eagle: Thank you.

From the Editor
The new urbanism
A
recent weekend edition of USA Today included a special section, titled Ò The Next 30 YearsÓ . It focused on what life, and day-to-day things, will be like in the year 2042Ñ 30 years hence. The special section included interviews with some of the worldÕ s most notable visionaries in their fields, such as Hollywood’s James Cameron (on the future of cinema and video), architect Andres Duany (on the future of American lifestyles and urban living), high-flying celebrity British capitalist Sir Richard Branson (on the future of private spaceflight), and—well—you get the idea. While Sir RichardÕ s prediction, that millions of common folk (aka, you and me) will be flying in 90-minute-long hypersonic, suborbital aerospace arcs between New York and Tokyo by 2042 is wild at best, others were less science fictional and grounded in 2012 reality. For example, architect and urban planner Andres DuanyÑ who is best known for crafting the faux, beachfront Pleasantville known as Seaside, Fla.Ñ predicts that by 2042 more people will be living in bigger cities with smaller homes, smaller yards, and ever shrinking personal transportation options. DuanyÕ s idea of utopia 2042 is for more people to sit on their newly crafted front porches and spend more time pedaling bicycles to work. While quaint for the most part, Duany may be on to something. Duany likes designing his post-modern houses with old-fashioned front porches based on the Ray Bradburyesque idea that our culture lost something when front porches vanished from architectural plans. Thus, we no longer take the time to know our neighbors or sit and rock alongside Aunt Bee after a hard time commuting our gas guzzlers two hours to the office. No matter, finding time to relax, reflect, and meditate everyday is a very healthy idea, but how much of this is just wishful, thinking on the part of some visionaries and academics? Who will keep our ever-shrinking sector of the ever-growing competitive world marketplace going while we relax and enjoy a bike ride to work (after sipping comfrey tea and reading USA Today on the front porch)? In 2012 reality, things seem to be going the other way. Now, of DuanyÕ s idea about shrinking
November 1, 2014
personal space, I think heÕ s on to something. Have you visited a large American city like New York or Boston recently? Proximity to entertainment, culture, and all-night bar hopping aside, have you ever really second guessed your choice of fleeing such a place to live in Vermont? In the cities of the year 2042 imagined by Duany, there’ll be even less chance of finding your personal center compared to life in todayÕ s cities. More and more social media will intrude and our private lives. Unless you choose to drop out, youÕ ll be absorbed along with the other drones into the greater hive. DuanyÕ s Ò New UrbanismÓ Ñ of ever more elbow-to-elbow jostling (while we grow zucchini next to rooftop solar panels and windmills)Ñ may have its utopian appeal to some, but there must be something else, which blends the best of all futuresÑ someplace in between. Still, many of our currently elected, central-planning-prone politicians on the national stage seem determined to get us into DuanyÕ s Ò New UrbanismÓ as quickly as possible. They want us out of our cars and onto sidewalks (which every Vermont home should have by 2042), as they take away our Big Gulps, our smokes, our comfortable luxe sedansÑ even our gasoline. And all for what? So, we have more time to sit on the front porch? DonÕ t get me wrong. I donÕ t totally disagree with DuanyÕ s vision of what future life will be like, but how much of our current, perceived scarcity of resources and diminished horizons are just our generationÕ s version of the fear of the future? I remember my father stocking U.S. Civil Defense nutritioncracker tins in the basement of our familyÕ s suburban house when the Cuban Missile Crisis was dominating the front pages of newspapers. TodayÕ s younger generation likes to snicker about my parentÕ s generation Cold War fears. Well, the next generation will likely think the same about our current cultural, environmental and politcial fears. No matter, I guess thereÕ s one thing about predicting the future that is certain: it never turns out the way you imagined itÑ or planned for it. Louis Varricchio, the Vermont Eagle

Candidate Column
A fresh perspective in Montpelier
I
Õ m running for the Vermont House of Representatives here in Middlebury because I believe itÕ s time for a fresh perspective in Montpelier. IÕ ve knocked on over 2,000 doors and itÕ s become abundantly clear that many Vermonters are struggling. Right now, we are facing a soaring property tax burden coupled with rising healthcare costs and stagnant income growth. Additionally, we are coping with a changing demographic here in Vermont, as we have experienced a 20 percent decline in our high school population over the past 15 years. Admittedly, our unemployment rate remains low, but this is partially attributed to the fact that many Vermonters, including my brother Rory, are leaving to seek opportunities elsewhere. As your representative, I will fight for stronger economic development initiatives while working to protect our existing small businesses. I will bring entrepreneurs and startups back to our state by providing them with the capital necessary to get their businesses off the ground. Additionally, I will work to create a property tax system that is more equitable, through the scaling of the income sensitivity portion. Calvin McEathron I will also fight to stop out-of-state Independent schools from receiving Vermont tuition payments, keeping the money where it belongs. I have a plan to reform Vermont State Colleges, which currently rank as some of the most expensive public institutions in the country, by implementing a co-op program. This program would allow students the opportunity to spend a semester working with a Vermont business for credit, allowing companies to gauge potential employees while providing students with the real world training that is so crucial in todayÕ s global economy. ItÕ s time for Vermonters to step up and elect lawmakers who understand and can connect with a younger generation of entrepreneurs, leaders, farmers and business owners who have the ability to secure a stronger and more prosperous future for Vermont. We need legislators that understand how to milk a cow and bale hay but also take know how to take a Snapchat or send a Tweet. As a lifelong Vermonter and former small business owner I not only have an understanding of the demographic responsible for preserving VermontÕ s beauty, culture and communities, but also the commitment to ensure the necessary policy changes. LetÕ s work together to protect VermontÕ s future by bringing a fresh direction to Montpelier. I would encourage voters to contact me at calvinformiddlebury@gmail.com, 802-505-1303 or visit my website at calvinformiddlebury.com.

Letters to the editor
Pampered Chef Bingo Fundraiser To the editor: We worked hard to set dates, collect basket items, get the word out and make connections for the recent ARC Rutland Pampered Chef Bingo Fundraiser. The fundraiser benefits our programs for people with developmental disabilities (DD): Dances, Representative Payee, Self Advocates, AKtion Club, Family Support Network, and DD Legislative and Service updates. These valuable programs are relied on heavily for advocacy and personal growth. Special thanks must go to Carol Murphy, our most gracious Pampered Chef host who nearly created the benefit herself. She gave so much that it made it easy for ARC to play along. Our friends and members had a good time out as well. The board and staff donated baskets and there was a 50/50 raffle to round out the evening. We are looking forward to doing another benefit bingo next year. This was the first big fundraiser that we have put on. In years past, our funding sources were enough to cover our expenses. Last year at our annual membership meeting, it became apparent to the association that we would have to do a fundraiser or acquire grant funds in order to stay in business. It is with much pleasure that we are able to give thanks to Carol Murphy, ARC Board of Directors and Staff for their efforts in keeping ARC Rutland Area funded for another year. Lisa S. Lynch, Executive Director ARC Rutland Area
Guns and youth
To the editor: Please spare me your pious outrage at the recent events in Marysville, Wash. We all knew that this would happen. The only thing we didnÕ t know was where and when. But the certainty of such a tragedy was foreseen by all except those who bloody-mindedly refuse to learn from history. Now we throw up our hands, yet again, and make profound pronouncements that this must never happen again, and then we do nothing. Every time this happens we make all the right noises about ensuring that firearms do not get into the hands of those who would misuse them. Platitudes, nothing but platitudes. The fact that the gun used was legally owned is even paraded in public view, almost as if this condones the action of the errant student. IÕ m sure this is of great comfort to the grieving families. Why do we persist in doing nothing? Because there are too many who are entrenched in their 18th century Second Amendment Ò rightsÓ , who believe that even putting obstacles in the way of indiscriminate circulation of firearms is a sin Ð witness the hatred, yes, hatred, shown towards Andrew Cuomo in upstate New York in response to his legislation around indiscriminate firearm ownership. And because politics in this country is corrupt, fuelled by money from those who have, denying a voice to those who have not. The powerful lobbying of the NRA, amongst others, cows our Congress into utter inaction on this matter. Provided sufficient millions of dollars can be spent on misrepresenting and smearing those of a different political persuasion, the views of the majority of the electorate will never be heard against the din of the rich, and politicians will continue to bow down to the lobby, merely that they may have a chance to live to fight another day in Congress, maybe over some less contentious issue. But back to Marysville, what will be our response this time? At the time of writing only two have died and three remain in critical condition, so the likely maximum death toll should not exceed five. Based on that, and on history, our response will be to change nothing at all. After all, the same questions were asked after Newtown (and Aurora and the Sikh temple in Wisconsin and Virginia Tech and Columbine and all the rest). In the case of Newtown, where twenty six died, the question was asked: How many must die before we do something about it? We have the answer loud and clear: Twentysix is not enough. A mere five or fewer in Marysville will pass into history as nothing more than a statistic, a shameful statistic which sits in a record book and achieves nothing. But Zoe Galasso and all the others Ð how many of us can now name even one victim at Newtown? Ð are not just statistics. They represent hope for the future extinguished; sundered families; lives with gaping holes rent in them; survivors guiltily wishing that they too were dead; and so much more that, thankfully, I cannot bring to mind. Every time we do nothing we dishonour the memories of these innocent victims who have died as a result of the misuse of freely available firearms. We prove that they did indeed die in vain. When you go to the polls in the near future, will you know your candidates’ views on the issue of firearm legislation? Will it make any difference to how you vote? If not, then shame on you for your spineless indifference. Peter Macfarlane Middlebury

Volunteers help local families in need in Charlotte By Gail Callahan
gail4kidsire@burlingtontelecom.net CHARLOTTE- The Town of Charlotte is known for its closeknit community, lush fields, rich agricultural history and storied mom and pop stores, whose operations span generations. But this bucolic community poised on the edge of southern Chittenden County has bears a burden shared by communities nationwide: residents there are food insecure, and must seek help feeding their families. For the last two decades, Charlotte has had a partner in aiding people, who need help feeding themselves and their families. The Charlotte Food Shelf is sported by the townÕ s churches. Housed at the Charlotte Congregational Church, the agency is overseen by local resident Karen Doris, a parishioner of the local Catholic Church, Our Lady of Mount Carmel, along with an army of some 40 volunteers. The Food Shelf is open to Charlotte residents, and potential clients must present identification before accessing the agency. Open at least twice monthly, hours of operation are posted, Doris said.
Ò WeÕ re members of the Vermont Food Bank. We buy food from the Food Bank and we also shop at Costco, Ò said Doris.Ó We track visits.Ó Calling the Charlotte Food Shelf a Ò safety net,Ó Doris noted the agency served well over 100 people during the month of July. That safety net also applies to animals, as well. The organization also boasts a pet food shelf section, overseen by Phyllis Kroll. Attempts to reach Kroll were unsuccessful. Doris said she grew up in the Midwest, and volunteering played a big in her formative years. ItÕ s an experience she brings to her efforts in Charlotte. Ò I didnÕ t start the Food Shelf, Ò she said. Ò I have always been active. I have a team here of shoppers, and people, who volunteer.Ó Right now, Doris and the team of volunteers are working on purchasing winter boots for children in need in town. They are also on the look out and welcome donations of gently-used clothes. Ò ItÕ s easy to get discouraged at times,Doris said. Ò We have wonderful pele helping here. A lot of people do a lot of good.Ó To contact the Charlotte Food Shelf, call 802-425-3252.

Town moves ahead on rec center plans MIDDLEBURY — A meeting last month of the Middlebury Town Offices & Recreation Facilities Building Committee Meeting included an award of contract for asbestos abatement at the former American Legion building on Creek Road in preparation for demolition. Final construction drawings are nearing completion for both the new recreation facility at the site; it is anticipated that the project will be ready to go out to bid in late 2014 or early 2015. The town engaged KD Associates to inspect and sample the Legion building site for hazardous materials which, by law, must be removed and properly disposed of before demolition. Sampling found that asbestos is present in the building. Following a competitive process that yield three bid proposals, KD Associates recommended that the Select Board award the contract for asbestos abatement services to the low bidder, Levaggi Environmental Contracting, of Morrisville for a total of $8,975. The Board accepted the award recommendation.

‘Tis almost the season in Middlebury MIDDLEBURY Ă‘ The holiday season provides a wonderful opportunity for people to channel their creativity. On Sunday, Nov. 9, 2-4 p.m., local gardener Lynne Boie will present a Holiday Decoration Demonstration at the Sheldon Museum showing participants how to create two types of holiday decorations
with pizazz: a Thanksgiving centerpiece and an evergreen holiday wreath. The decorations will use primarily natural materials. Participants will leave with great ideas to apply to their own holiday decorations. Boie is a former president of the Middlebury Garden Club. Prior to moving to Vermont, she was a professional floral designer and display designer for a leading department store. Lynne is responsible for designing the holiday decorations and the dried flower arrangements on view through the year at the Sheldon and coordinates the volunteers who create the arrangements with her. As a volunteer, Lynne also makes holiday decorations for a number of non-profit organizations in the area including the Middlebury Community House and the Ilsley Public Library. The cost for the talk is $12; $10 for museum members. Space is limited, advance registration is recommended. For further information about the presentations or to reserve a space, call the Sheldon at 802-388-2117 or visit www.henrysheldonmuseum. org. The Sheldon Museum is located at One Park Street in downtown Middlebury across from the Ilsley Library.
A Holiday Decoration Demonstration will be held at the Sheldon Museum, Nov. 9.

Pickups collide on Route 7
CLARENDON — On Oct. 16, at 8:45 a.m., a pickup truck driven by Ernet Tato, 45, of Rutland was traveling southbound on U.S. Route 7. Tato entered the intersection of Routes 7 and 103 to travel south on Route 103 when he lost
November 1, 2014 control of the truck. TatoÕ s truck collided with another pickup truck, driven by Bernard Peatman, 64, of Pittsford which was stopped in the turning lane of Route 103 . Both trucks were driven from the scene and neither operator sustained injuries. Rutland Town Police responded as well as Clarendon Fire and Rescue.

Ò The Gift-of-Life Marathon has brought together people from every possible walk of life, and built bridges across every possible divide. WJJR and Program Manager Terry Jaye and Green Mountain Power and Vice President Steve Costello, who have co-organized the drive for the past 11 years, were also honored.

Shumlin opens new health lab in Burlington By Lou Varricchio
lou@addison-eagle.com BURLINGTON Ñ Gov. Peter Shumlin cut the ribbon at the newly completed Vermont Health Department state-of-the-art laboratory located at the Colchester Business and Technology Park on South Park Drive. The new facility opens just as the nation is gripped by its first ebola virus cases. The 47,844 square-foot facility replaces the Health Department’s current 32,695 square-foot laboratory in Burlington. Built in 1952, it was the oldest in the nation and had to be replaced due to a lack of space and the structure is outdated. Ò WeÕ re proud to be able to provide a new facility for Vermonters at a time when the ability to quickly and effectively respond to both existing and emerging health threats has never been more important,Ó said Shumlin. The new facility was designed in affiliation with, and is physically connected to, the University of Vermont Colchester Research Facility. Co-location allows the Health Department to work together with UVM faculty to investigate patterns of disease and research new diagnostics and treatments to improve public health.
The Health Department laboratory routinely performs a wide range of analyses to detect biological, toxicological, chemical and radiological threats to the health of the population Ð from testing for blood lead levels, rabies, flu, pertussis and salmonella, to drinking water contaminants and toxins.
Planning for the new facility has been in process for more than 10 years. Visit healthvermont.gov, follow us on Twitter and join us on Facebook for up-to-date news, alerts and health information.
Supernovich From page 1
able to bridge the cultural and religious differences required in a successful “mixed” relationship? The conflicts between lovers and their families is played out in scenes along the New England coast in Maine, in Portsmouth, NH, and in Massachusetts in Boston, Worcester and Milford. As Julia and David navigate the joyous and perilous paths of romance in Atlantic LoveSong, they find strength in their ties to the natural world, search for tenderness in love and with one another, and captivate readers as only the best, lean, modern novels can. Supernovich is no stranger to fiction. His short story, “By the Monongahela,” was published in Potato Eyes. Supernovich’s journalistic articles have appeared in the Boston Globe, Boston Herald, EPA Journal, Tufts Journal, Tufts Criterion, Sanctuary and MetroWest Daily News. The local author has had the good fortune over the years to learn fiction writing one-on-one at various courses, conferences and residencies with many gifted novelists, including, Marilynne Robinson, Rick Moody, Howard Norman, Kim Barnes, Larry Brown, Monica Wood and Mary Robison. Though currently a resident of Vergennes, Supernovich always vacations each summer on the Atlantic seacoast of Maine, New Hampshire and Massachusetts.

Rutland County Humane Society
Halloween is a coming so donÕ t let your pet get spooked. Here are a few tips from the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) to make sure your pet stays safe and happy. Trick or Treaters showing up at the door may frighten all but the most sociable and easy going animals. If your pet doesnÕ t do well with surprises and commotion, keep her in a safe place during these hours. Chocolate can be harmful for pets so be sure to keep the candy bowl where Fido canÕ t reach it. If your dog ingests chocolate call your veterinarian for advice. Also to note, sugarless treats may contain Xylitol which is very toxic to pets. Costumes are fun and some pets love them and will ham it up. But many are stressed by being dressed up and stress can affect your petÕ s health. If you do put a costume on your pet, make sure there arenÕ t items on it that can be chewed or torn off and swallowed. Finally, make sure your pet has ID. Trick or Treaters and parties mean the door will be opening often, giving your pet a chance to make a run for it. If your pet goes missing call the shelter at 483-6700 any time and we’ll do what we can to get you reunited as quickly as possible. MOLLY 7.5 year old. Spayed Female. Border Collie mix.
www.addison-eagle.com IÕ m an adorable, sweet and friendly lady who enjoys being with people. IÕ m an energetic gal who is looking for an active family that will take me on walks, hikes and other outdoor activities. It would be good if I lost a pound or two (or maybe 5) so the exercise will be great for me. IÕ m fun to be around and youÕ ll smile when you meet me for sure. ANGEL 2 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Torbie. Hi there, my name is Angel and I am an angel with people but am not so sure about other cats. I arrived here on Oct. 9 as a stray and the staff here thinks I am as pretty as can be. Between my markings and coloring you cannot go wrong. I like attention and will seek it out when I feel safe and comfortable with my surroundings. I am hoping for an inside only cat as it is starting to get colder and I was already a stray once. MERLINA 7 month old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair Black and Gray Tiger.
November 1, 2014 I am a very playful, loveable and active girl. I may seem a little shy at first but I am just kidding around, I love to be held and cuddled. I arrived at the shelter as a stray on September 19 and after a brief stay here at the shelter I am ready to move onto my forever home. I am now sharing a condo with a friend and we seem to get along fine.
CHOWDER 5 year old. Neutered Male. Akita mix. IÕ m a silly fella who really enjoys being with people. I love getting lots of love and attention and will lean into you for a little more affection and attention. IÕ m a super guy who already knows Sit, Down, Shake and Sit Pretty. IÕ m super talented, if I do say so myself. IÕ m very playful and I especially love squeaky toys but will be happy playing with any kind of toys especially if IÕ m hanging out with my favorite people. Oh, did I mention how handsome I am? But I probably donÕ t need to tell you that. Adrian Bernhard Rutland County Humane Society 802-483-6700
