An Italian historian visits Middlebury

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

MIDDLEBURY — Investigating the tempestuous past—where bloody crusades, bad popes, heretics, plagues, and mountaintop fortresses were all part of a gloomy, everyday landscape—is what Professor Frederico Canaccini calls his life’s passion.

The native-Italian scholar of Medieval Latin and Italian history was a recent guest lecturer at Associate Professor Stephano Mula’s Italian classes at Middlebury College this fall.

A native of Tuscany, the 40-something Dr. Canaccini enjoyed a visit to Middlebury during the autumn semester; he arrived via a grant including Princeton University. His 2016 return visit to Middlebury was part of an Italian university grant to lecture at Princeton—as well as other American institutions—offering Italo history, literature and language programs.

‘Waiting for government’: lack of innovation in Vermont’s health care

By Emma Lamberton elamberton@watchdog.org

RUTLAND — In 2013, the Obama administration brought in software experts from the private sector — including industry giants such as Google, Oracle and Red Hat — to fix the flawed federal health care exchange website designed by CGI Federal.

If that name sounds familiar, it might be because CGI is the same contractor that built Vermont Health Connect and worked on the state exchange until its contract was terminated in 2014.

Like the federal exchange created by the 2010 health care law, Vermont Health Connect has been riddled with problems since the launch of the program in 2013.

The administration of Democratic Gov. Peter Shumlin and various legislative committees have commissioned multiple studies, and all have

found unacceptable errors in the registration and billing processes, as well as the system’s security.

Last month, VHC officials notified customers that a number of Social Security numbers had been posted online, unsecured.

“The government needs someone with excellent technical knowledge working on the inside.

They need someone with the technical knowledge to evaluate the authenticity of bidding companies, and the ability to evaluate if contractors are telling the truth,” said Jordan Morano, a software developer based in Burlington whose company, Icarus, eschews government contracts.

“We would go out of business if we continued to bid on government contacts,” said fellow Icarus developer Patrick Berkeley.

Morano and Berkeley have created health care applications for several private-sector clients, though, and point to CGI’s history of writing proprietary software, a practice that locks clients into a particular vendor because the source code

is kept secret.

That’s a lack of innovation and imagination, they say, on the part of government officials who don’t know enough to make informed decisions about the stuff they’re buying.

“They don’t actually know what they want,” Berkeley said.

The solution as far as Vermont is concerned, according to Morano, is to start over, and not just with the tech.

“I would recommend that we start from scratch.

However, there’s no point in doing that unless we solve the underlying issue of government officials not having enough technical knowledge to make sound decisions. Without that, we’ll just get more of the same.”

Aside from a lack of expertise, cronyism plays a part as well.

It’s a familiar tale: Lobbyists from technology Continued on page 8

Middlebury churches symbols of faith, history and community

By Lou Varricchio lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — Ecumenism has been a hallmark of the faith community in Middlebury since the 1970s. Local religious communities have demonstrated that respectful, even joyful, dialog and sharing can bridge the differences while seeking shared truths.

Recently, 21st century ecumenism was on display as members of eight local houses of worship opened their doors to the community to celebrate the town’s architectural heritage.

Eight houses of worships in Middlebury were open for local and out-of-town visitors interested in history, art, architecture, organ music, stained glass, religious artifacts and symbols.

Sponsored by downtown Middlebury’s Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History, retired Middlebury College Professor Glenn Andres organized the tour, which lasted an entire afternoon and concluded with an fun, educational reception at the museum—which displayed a collection of rare Bibles including a 1792 King James edition.

According to the museum’s Mary Manley, “The Sheldon has a long tradition of offering specialized tours of Middlebury and Addison County. This tour followed on the heels of previous ones devoted to gardens and barns.”

Manley noted that Andres’ eight buildings on the tour included the 1809 Congregational Church, the 1826 St. Stephen’s Episcopal Church, the 1892 St. Mary’s Roman Catholic Church, the 1892 United Methodist Church, the 1905 Memorial Baptist Church, the 1816 Mead Chapel at Middlebury College, the 1876 Havurah Jewish Congregation, and the 2009 Champlain Valley Unitarian Universalist Church.

“Guides were present as docents at each location to explain the history and highlights of the buildings. Professor Andres had prepared a tour brochure which included a two-page history on each building,” according to Manley. “He is a celebrated architectural scholar and recently the co-author of Buildings of Vermont, a comprehensive analysis of Vermont’s built architecture.”

To liven up the historic faith-friendship tour, musicians greeted the tourists at three locations.

“At Middlebury College’s Mead Chapel retired Music Professor Emory Fanning demonstrated the extraordinary GressMiles organ, which has three keyboards, and some 3100 pipes of various sizes, comprising 50 ranks or sets of pipes. It is a brilliant and versatile instrument recently enhanced by a computer generated key/ stop action, which allows innovative assistance to the performer; as well as playback memory and digital pedal stops,” Manley noted.

There’s a lot of religious architectural history in town—from the college’s nondenominational Mead Chapel to the Havurah center.

“Middlebury’s small Jewish community first met at the Lazarus home for Friday evening Sabbath dinner and holiday celebrations,’ according to Manley. “As their numbers grew, they met for services in such diverse places as the Ripton Community House and the Congregational Church. Eventually, Mike and Annette Lazarus donated the family home to become the Havurah House. Renovations were made and it was officially opened in 2001. Reflective of the earlier years, the Jewish congregation shares Havurah House with other religious and non-profit organizations. Quaker services are held there each Sunday.”

The local tour included an artistic component, too.

Andres recruited local artists—Gayl Braisted, Kathy Clarke, Mary Kay Lower, Kari Hansen, Mary Jean Rollet, David Sandler, Lena Sandler, Joe Bolger, Tal Birdsey, and Rose McVay—to render interior details and exterior facades of the houses of worship chosen as subjects by the artists. Currently, the paintings are on view and for sale at the Sheldon Museum.

“The ecumenical tour offered residents and tourists an indepth view of eight distinguished Middlebury houses of wor-

ship all which played and continue to play central roles in the spiritual, civic, and artistic life of Middlebury and Addison County,” Manley added.

For those who missed the October tour a self-guided brochure, containing Andres’ history and a map, is available atthe museum during regular hours.

New interest in Middlebury’s unsolved 1935 murder MIDDLEBURY — In 2010, the Eagle published a story about two Vermont authors writing a novel based on the unsolved crime. Their research included stimulating new interest in an unsolved 1935 Addison County murder case.

Now, the Henry Sheldon Museum of Vermont History in Middlebury is assisting in current attempts to examine the murder of three individuals whose remains were found on May 15, 1935, in a remote location off Burnham Drive in East Middlebury, near the site of today’s Middlebury State Airport.

Over the past few years, law enforcement officials have reviewed archival material at the Sheldon, after the Eagle sparked renwed interest in the case.

Apparently, the Eagle’s news story about the local author team’s research got the attention of New York City-based documentary filmmaker and producer Nilita Vachani. Now her crew is working on a film, titled “Reborn in Clay.” The 1935 unsolved murders are examined in the forthcoming film.

The crew consists of forensic artist Anne Bielby who worked on facial reconstructions of two of the 1935 murder victims, as well as photographer Eythan Maidhof, cameraman Chris Boylston, and sound recordist Braulio Lin, who will soon be producing a film. Sheldon Archivist Eva Garcelon-Hart spent the day with the team introducing them to the documentary material at the Sheldon’s archives dealing with the triple murders, including diaries and period newsCompleted facial reconstructions of the victims, using the remains as their guide created by forensic sculpture class at the New York Academy of Art. papers.

The unidentified decedents — a woman and two young boys believed to be her sons — had all been shot in the head, their corpses unceremoniously dumped in a ditch. Previous news accounts recorded the discovery of the corpses: A woman named Grace Dague and her daughter, Inez Perry Masterson, were looking for flowers in the forest when they stumbled upon the skeletal remains of the three murder victims on May 15, 1935.

During a 1985 local interview, Masterson recalled spotting something in a ditch near the side of an old logging road.

“It looked like a white rock,” she reported. “So I just kicked it and it turned out to be a skull with a bullet hole right between the eyes.”

The mother and daughter rushed home to call the sheriff ’s office—Vermont State Police would not be formed until 1947.

Sheriff Ralph Sweet and other authorities found three skeletons, each with a .38-caliber Colt automatic bullet hole in the skull. The bodies had been wrapped together in a blanket and a green canvas awning with pulleys still attached, according to follow-up reporting in the Addison Independent.

Investigators believed the bodies had been there for two or three years.

The victims’ bones were stored in boxes at the state medical examiner’s office in hopes they would be of future help.

However, the DNA is so degraded that it is of little use. Recently, a forensic sculpture class at the New York Academy of Anne Bielby (forensic artist), Eva Garcelon-Hart (Archivist), Nilita Vachani (Producer and Director), Eythan Maidhof (Director of Photography), Chris Art — with assistance from the National Center for Missing Boylston (Assistant Camera), and Braulio Lin (Sound Recordist) and Exploited Children — completed facial reconstructions their projects. for viewing in 2017. of the victims, using the remains as their guide.

Mental health care in Vermont

E

A time for redemption

I

very year, when autumn leaves start to fall, various important health-related causes compete for our attention in the news and popular culture. For example, when the Eagle devoted a special insert to Breast Cancer Awareness Month in October, there were many equally worthy health-related causes in need of strong champions in the marketplace.

For example, often overlooked is Mental Illness Awareness Week.

Unfortunately, family members, friends and neighbors living with mental illness have been routinely marginalized by our outdated ways of social thinking plus our headlong rush to promote membership in this-or-that awareness of the month club.

According to Laurie Emerson of Vermont’s NAMI National Alliance on Mental Illness based in Williston, 1 in 5 people in our area are affected by mental illness. That’s a sobering number, and it represents an enormous impact on our community, an impact which cannot be ignored.

Here in Vermont, approximately 23,000 adults and 6,000 children and teenagers have mental illness, according to NAMI Vermont. Think about this fact: 29,000 people, in a state with a population of 626,562, are living with some form of mental illness every day.

“One in 17 adults lives with serious mental illness such as schizophrenia, major depression or bipolar disorder,” Emerson says. “Vermont needs to ensure that adequate funding will be available for mental health treatment and services. The human impact of underfunded mental health services cannot be understated. ” The Eagle agrees with Emerson. We need to be doing much more in treating mental illness in Vermont.

Legislators in Montpelier need to become more educated on mental health issues which impact communities everywhere, from streets to the schools.

While there’s clearly much work to be done, the State of Vermont has at least shown progress as a leader in making mental illness more of an ongoing priority.

For example, the state has been a pioneer in establishing a network of “community based mental health treatment designated agencies,” Emerson points out. These agencies serve our communities at the local level; in fact, there’s very likely to be an agency office located near where you live.

“The need for mental health services has grown steadily and even intensively in certain areas,” Emerson says.

“Since Tropical Storm Irene reshaped the banks of our system of care, funding has not matched the needs of the new system for mental health services. Budget shortfalls have eroded the service structure even further, with continually slipping Medicaid reimbursement rates already starting to upset Vermont’s mental health landscape.”

That’s why cutting mental health services has serious consequences, right down to the neighborhood level.

As Vermonters, we need to support more investment in effective community services as a means to stop our services from being washed away completely in the future.

More importantly, we need to zoom-in on real solutions—”Individuals with mental illness should not have to suffer and wait for care,” Emerson stresses.

Emerson also stresses that the need for mental health treatment is on the rise. It’s a looming concern that deserves a higher priority in Vermont’s health care agenda.

“In Vermont, there are 80 suicides annually. This is higher than the number of motor vehicle deaths or homicides in Vermont,” she says. “The vast majority of those who die by suicide live with mental illness—often undiagnosed or untreated. Protecting and strengthening state and local mental health services will save lives.”

Here in Vermont, Emerson says that we now have the opportunity to capitalize on various advances in mental health care, plus make good use of the new infrastructure created by the Vermont Department of Mental Health’s “designated agencies”.

“Rather than forcing these organizations to do more with less through chronic budget skimming, Vermont must dedicate resources to a mental health system of care that will work,” Emerson says.

In the end, when it comes to mental illness awareness, we all need to discard outdated ideas about this all too human malady.

First Lady Michelle Obama—perhaps the nation’s most visible, gracious advocate of expanded mental health care resources—articulates it best when she says, “The only shameful thing about mental illness is the stigma attached to it.”

’m writing this column Sunday evening, as I do every week. We have one more day of a campaign that has been far too long and far too nasty.

As you read this I assume we all know the election results, provided it wasn’t so close that the results are being challenged and the wait continues for a new administration.

Dan Alexander One question that arises freThoughts from quently during every election is Behind the Pressline why The SUN doesn’t endorse candidates, as so many other newspapers do?

We take stands on issues in need of solutions but when it comes to voting on candidates we believe no one but you should make that decision.

Swaying your opinion based on our opinion is one of the biggest problems our nation faces. Your vote is highly personal and it’s based on many factors that may only exist for you and your set of circumstances.

We see our role as an honest broker of information and we hope you feel we provide both sides equal opportunity. We wish more media companies respected their role in the process by letting you know up front that their coverage will lean left or right so you know you’re only getting one side’s view and not a balanced perspective.

It is my belief that this election will have an even greater outcome than just electing or re-electing our government officials.

I think this election may have an affect on many of our institutions as an outcome of what was a painful and at many times an ugly commentary on the state of our nation’s electoral process.

Many of our institutions will need to redeem themselves in the eyes of the American public starting at the top. Regardless of who becomes the president, she or he will need to prove that vicious attacks presented during the campaign were either fact or fiction. Either will have ample chance to redeem their reputation or confirm the attacks to have been accurate.

I could see both political parties, congress and perhaps even the media changing the way they operate and passing new laws to insure the public never has to choose between two flawed candidates, nor have so much money and media influence affecting the process.

As citizens we need to learn from what we’ve been through and demand better from those who have such a great affect on our daily lives and progress we make as a nation.

It’s in everyone’s best interest to make America great and stronger if we work together. The alternative is more divisiveness, grid lock, investigations and frustration all around.

Local towns, groups are beneficiaries of the late Walter Cerf

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — When German-born philosopher and art collector Walter Cerf arrived on the campus of Princeton University in 1938, he was fleeing Nazis persecution in his homeland.

At Princeton, N.J., he found menial work as a cook for the school’s upper-class graduate students. Speaking little English, and enduring anti-German comments from some of the Ivy Leaguers, he didn’t—as the common folk say—even have a proverbial “pot”.

But by the time of his death in 2001, when he was living in Leicester, near Lake Dunmore, he had made a name both as a philosophy professor, with several doctorates, and a vast fortune, in excess of $20 million, created—in part—by art collecting.

Thanks to the profound generosity of this gentle-spoken man, many local communities and non-profit groups have been the beneficiaries.

Each year since Cerf ’s passing, the Walter Cerf Community Fund, a component fund of the Vermont Community Foundation, has awarded local recipients with needed funds This year, grant awards totaling $111,060 were made to 29 organizations by the Cerf Fund.

“Since 2001, the fund has made grants to organizations located in Addison County or Brandon, or that have a statewide reach and make a unique contribution to Vermont,” according to Margaret Morris of the Vermont Community Foundation. “The priority interests are the arts, education, historic preservation, and social services, reflecting the pattern of giving established by Mr. Cerf during his lifetime.”

Morris told the Eagle that Cerf focused much of his giving in his own backyard—Addison County and Brandon (Rutland County).

“Grants from the Walter Cerf Community Fund reflect that focus, with two-thirds of the grants reserved for Addison County/ Brandon projects and one-third reserved for statewide projects. Each grant awards up to $5,000,” Morris noted.

Each year, the fund awards one grant up to $25,000.

“This year, the Town of Panton received $25,000 to help repair and remount the iconic cupola of Panton Town Hall. The grant aligns with Mr. Cerf ’s love and appreciation of historic buildings in Vermont,” according to Morris.

To the Editor: Having received a vituperative mailer from candidate Sue Minter for Governor, Machiavellian to be sure, decrying competitor Phil Scott’s position on bird-chopper wind factories and the black blight of solar energy factories on the Vermont landscape—why ban billboards if they are to be replaced by acres of Stygian solar panels?—I must relate a humorous story that’s germane to Vermont’s Princess of Bryn Mawr...

Children in a third grade class in the upscale suburb of Bryn Mawr, Pa., were asked to write a story about the poor.

Here’s what one child wrote: “Once upon a time there was a poor family. The daddy was poor. The mommy was poor. The son was poor.

The daughter was poor. The maid was poor. The nanny was poor. The butler was poor. The chauffeur was poor. The gardener was poor. The pool man was poor.” But Sue Minter is the poorest of them all, ethically.

You can see her record (at http://votesmart.org). You will be as appalled as I was when you see what this carpetbagger is all about.

Sue has the money to afford an electric car at $95,000 plus, solar refitting of her home, higher electric bills, eco-increased taxation, the economically deadly carbon tax, increased school costs (which won’t affect Sue’s kids), getting older, and much more.

Worse yet, Sue Minter has been endorsed by Barak Obama, which should put most hardworking, taxpaying Vermont voters off Minter for good.

‘Wheels’ raises $52,000 for fuel help, recycles 2,500 old tires

By Pamela A. Shambo

RUTLAND — Vermont’s “Wheels for Warmth” program is ready to roll out heating assistance funds for this winter, thanks to its 12th consecutive year of strong community support. Preliminary numbers for 2016 show the program collected a total of $52,000 for emergency fuel assistance programs, sold 2,250 safe tires, and recycled 2,500 donated, unusable tires.

Two sale locations at Dubois Construction in Middlesex and Casella Construction, near Rutland, in Mendon—along with 13 tire drop-off locations—make it possible for more Vermonters to take part in the program.

People started lining up at both sale sites well before dawn on October 29 to find safe, af-

fordable winter tires.

Proceeds from both sales benefit heating assistance programs at community action agencies around the state, such as Capstone Community Action, BROC Community Action in Southwestern Vermont, Champlain Valley Office of Economic Opportunity in Northwestern Vermont, and Northeast Kingdom Community Action.

Donated tires were inspected by Department of Motor Vehicle officers, and those deemed safe were sold for a maximum of $25 each on Oct. 29. Tires not meeting standards were recycled through Casella Waste Management. Casella donates 100 percent of the $4 recycling fee to home heating programs.

Hinesburg Police chief recovering

By Gail Callahan

lou@suncommunitynews.com

HINESBURG —Hinesburg Community Police Chief Frank Koss suffered a heart attack and was treated at The Medical Center Hospital of Vermont.

According to the UVM Medical Center’s Emergency Department’s spokesperson, Koss was seen Nov. 1. He was a patient on the hospital’s McClure floor. Koss is no longer listed as a patient at the hospital.

A member of the police department who answered the telephone at the station, said local law-enforcement officials don’t plan on releasing a statement on Koss’ condition any time soon. The employee, who chose not to identify himself to the Eagle, said Koss was recovering at home.

Koss is the head of a department that has seen a local resident bring a federal lawsuit against two officers, alleging excessive force. Lori Ann Carron is suing officers C. Cameron Coltharp and Jeremy Hulshof. Coltharp was put on paid, administrative leave earlier this year.

Koss said he decided to place Coltharp on paid leave due to the excessive media coverage of the case.

Last year, Koss wrote an impassioned opinion piece in a local newspaper regarding the fatal crash between Joseph Marshall, a Champlain Valley Union High School senior, and Richard Tom, a Hinesburg resident.

Koss squared off with Marshall’s family during a public forum after he said that if Marshall had survived the crash, he would have been charged with murder.

ty of volunteers who come together to make this event possible,” said Lt. Go. Phil Scott (R).

“They give whatever they can so that ‘Wheels for Warmth’ can continue to keep Vermonters safe and warm through the winter. The only sad part – and I feel this every year – is that there aren’t enough tires for everyone who needs them. But that’s what drives us to keep doing this year after year, and we will be back next October ready to help even more.”

Since Scott established the program, “Wheels for Warmth” has raised $365,000 for emergency fuel assistance, put back into use 16,950 safe, donated tires, and recycled more than 27,869 unusable tires.

“Wheels for Warmth” would not be possible without the generosity of: Casella Waste

This student performance is contrasted by results in many other states that have seen significant increases in test scores compared to previous years.

Scores on the 2016 New England Common Assessment Program or NECAP, Vermont’s statewide science assessment, also show little improvement compared to the 2015 results.

Vermont’s 2015 NAEP science scores showed students continue to perform among the top 10 states in the nation.

In fourth-grade, Vermont was among the three states with the highest scores. Compared to the rest of the country, Vermont students exceeded the national average by approximately 10 points in both fourth-grade and eighth-grade.

Men’s team earns USCAA Tourney bid

By Elicia Mailhiot

RUTLAND — College of St. Joseph’s men’s soccer team has earned an at-large bid to play in the United States Collegiate Athletic Association National Tournament. The tournament will be held Nov.10-14 in Virginia Beach, VA. The Fighting Saints enter the tournament as the 12th seed, coming in with a 12-6 overall record on the season and an 8-1 conference record. After losing in the first round of the Yankee Small College Conference Tournament to Southern Maine CC, the Saints earned an at-large bid to the National Tournament due to their stellar play in the regular season.

CSJ will be dealt a tough task, as they take on top-seeded University of Maine at Fort Kent on Saturday, Nov. 11 at 4 p.m. to open the tournament. The Saints faced the Fort Kent Bengals earlier in the season, losing to them in a one-sided affair 0-4. CSJ will look to redeem themselves with an upset victory, but it will not come easily, as the Bengals have gone a perfect 18-0 throughout the year and have shown virtually no weaknesses.

The Saints are led in scoring by Dominick Simpson, who has 15 goals on the season and 33 points. He also led the team in total shots with 52. Helder and Keven Andrade each led the team in assists with eight apiece. Kyle Milligan has been a force as the starting goalkeeper for CSJ all year long. He has 64 saves on the season and an impressive 1.10 goals-against average.

Milligan has also performed eight shutouts, making him one of the elite goalkeepers in the entire USCAA.

We can see that people with Developmental Disabilities and their families are being more and more recognized as valued citizens in their communities. ARC Rutland Area’s Self Advocates group has a training they provide to local business and organization showing the strengths of people with Developmental Disabilities. The training can be done in 5 minutes or can last up to an hour, call for a training in your place.

Thanks must go to the members of the Bomoseen Grange and the Sunshine Fund for providing the hall and beverage donations. We offer special thanks to Lori, Bob and Alex Mason, Dale Dimick, and parents for decorating, organizing, setting up, kitchen work and cleaning up at the end. Their enthusiasm made the party a success; it was appreciated by all.

Some thanks for the snacks and baked goods that were donated by families and friends of ARC are also in order, as with food comes more joy, this year we only had one bag of chips.

It takes much help from many, and all of your contributions towards making this party the success it was, is in part, what keeps us able to provide this event for the community, year after year.

It is with these activities and donations, that people with Developmental Disabilities are able to make more meaningful connections in their daily lives. Without community connections it is extremely difficult for natural supportive relationships to develop. We all have a circle of support (friends, relatives, coworkers, and acquaintances) that we have created naturally to fulfill our needs and wants. This dance is another way to help people with disabilities to expand a portion of their circle. We surely value this community opportunity. A special thank you to the Bomoseen Grange and the Sunshine Fund.

Our next event is our ARC Annual Membership Meeting, Sunday, Nov.13, 2-4 p.m., at the Godnick Center in Rutland.

Call 802-775-1370 for more details; all are invited.

Driver killed in early a.m. accident

By Lou Varricchio

CHARLOTTE — An automobile driver died as the result of a collision on U.S. Route 7, in Charlotte, Nov. 3.

The accident occurred at 1:30 a.m. The collision involved a passenger car and a tractor-trailer rig.

A Vermont State Police investigation of the Nov. 3 fatality determined that the tractor trailer, driven by Jose Nunez, 50, of Cazenovia, N.Y., was traveling northbound and a Hyundai Sonata, driven by the late Andrew Godaire, 22, of Ferrisburgh, was traveling southbound.

Godaire was killed as a result of the collision.

Lt. Garry Scott of the Vermont State Police Crash Reconstruction Teams told the Eagle that the crash is still under investigation.

Route 7 was closed to all traffic near the accident scene.

The accident occurred on a section of the highway located between Bostwick and Church Hill roads.

Vehicles were detoured around the wreck site via Mount Philo Road at least until the debris was removed and investigators had completed their work on the scene.

Any witness are asked to contact the VSP at 802-8787111.

Health

Continued from page 1 companies pressure legislators to mandate that software contractors use the lobbyists’ technology — often not the best available, according to Morano. That limits the number of potential contractors, which limits competition, which often results in the delivery of a subpar product.

In the wake of the disastrous launch of the federal health care exchange, some people in Washington began to look at things differently.

The General Services Administration launched 18F (named for the headquarters location at 18th and F streets), a digital services shop that employs small teams of developers that act much like a consulting firm. Other agencies and departments pay GSA to “hire” 18F developers for projects.

The process drives innovation and problem-solving because, as Berkeley points out, 18F has no reason for being other than producing good products. After short stints, all of its employees will move on to another agency or the Private sector.

Berkeley and Morano say a state-level organization modeled after 18F could work for Vermont.

Asher Crispe, a futurist technology consultant who was a member of the National Policy Center for Public Policy and Social Thought in Israel before moving to southern Vermont, agrees that something similar — and small — could be a force for change in Vermont’s health care sector.

And, he says, that sector desperately needs such an infusion of innovation.

“The way to give more quality health care to more people is really to allow innovation to

have free rein. … The problem is that on a bureaucratic level, on a government level, we don’t understand this,” said Crispe.

Shumlin’s move to the all-payer model has added significant bureaucratic oversight to the way Vermonters receive health care.

The Green Mountain Care Board was created in 2011 by the legislature to oversee Vermont health care and to reduce cost growth. Since then, two layers of affordable care organizations have formed. Vermont Care Organization (VCO), a state-wide ACO, oversees smaller Vermont ACOs like OneCare.

The theory is that ACOs will act to limit health care spending growth.

The newly approved all-payer model, implemented by VCO, will eventually control fund distributions from Medicare, Medicaid and private insurers. Crispe said the centralized system will hinder progress.

“Looking for solutions like single payer and all-payer are likely to create monopolies that slow the pace of innovation,” he said. “We find all these blockages on an administrative level because they don’t appreciate the technology that is available today, that could cut costs and save lives.”

Crispe specifically mentioned a pain-free mammogram procedure that is twice as accurate as current machines, while operating at a fraction of the cost. The procedure is not widely available because state governments, in conjunction with insurers, approve a certain procedure and move on. New treatments then take time to become approved through the layers of bureaucratic systems.

Crispe is a big believer in crowd sourcing and collaboration in the private sector to solve Vermont’s health care problems.

“We keep waiting for government to figure it out for us, and it doesn’t seem to help,” he said.

MOMMA 2 Year Old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair. Black and White.

Hi there, I’m a sweet little mom who arrived at RCHS in October. I was certainly a great mom, but now that the kids are off on their own, I have got to think about my future. I have been through a lot. I was originally aban-

doned in my younger years and taken in by a good person who gave me everything I needed. I have to say though, being an only cat is my goal and also what brings me here to the shelter.

ROSIE 5 Year Old. Spayed Female. Pit Bull.

Get ready to laugh and giggle when you meet me because I’m full of personality and fun. I wiggle and waggle and am so happy to be with my favorite people. I love to give kisses so get ready for a smooch or two if you come visit me. I know Sit, Shake (both paws) and Down and I look forward to learning more commands and maybe even some tricks. I’m very playful, too, and I’m especially fond of plush squeaky toys. I can catch them in mid air. I hope my new owner will stock up on them for me. Did I mention I’m adorable?

ALLIE 1 Year Old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair. Torbie and White.

I have to say, I like it here, and am making a lot of friends in the cat room, but like my previous owner said, I think I would love my one on one time

with you and to maybe even have a friend or two. I know you are admiring my markings. I hear everyone comment on the splash of colors I have on me, I am very unique indeed. I am almost the colors of the fall season.

BEEMER 3 Year Old. Neutered Male. Dachshund.

I’m a sweet fella and I enjoy hanging out with my favorite people. I love helping the staff when they’re washing dishes and doing laundry. Being with them makes me happy. I’m easy to have around and I’m a pretty easy going guy. I’m laid back and I enjoy the quiet life. I don’t play with toys very much but maybe once I settle into my new home I will. I know Sit Pretty and I’m darn adorable when I do it.

The Minter of our discontent

Attention loggers: State revises Act 64 rules

By Doug Tolles

By Lou Varricchio

Guest Viewpoint

Now is the Minter of our discontent. Why such discontent? Vermont, formerly glorious, now threatened by a storm of windmills and solar panels. Minter will put them anywhere and everywhere – and you do not matter. How cruel!

Do you like ridgelines? Do you like beautiful open meadows? Do you think we should keep our tourist industry growing? They will all go to green dust when wind and solar blanket the state in search of an impossible goal. The biggest Minter contributors push these industrial generation sites. Doth thou too smelleth a quid-pro-quo?

Lo, the storm clouds of a massive gas and fuel tax come at us. Her carbon tax will raise the cost of gas 88 cents per gallon, and her fuel tax another dollar per gallon on oil and propane. This will hit everyone and will end badly. The cost of everything that is transported will climb to the skies. Your fuel bill will soar. Remember expensive gas and how the economy slowed to a crawl? This Minter tax will have the same effect. Jobs will leave and prices will soar. Poverty will soar too as you decide whether to freeze or eat.

Behold, Minter pushes for more Shumlin health care, bankrupting us all and ruining what health care we now have. She is agreeing with Shumlin’s single provider/single payer nightmare, which even Shumlin said was not affordable.

Over here, she exaggerates her work on hurricane recovery. She rebuilt the entire state all by herself?

Methinks not.

There, she falsely paints Phil Scott’s women’s health record to great outcry from womens’ organizations.

Such lying adds to our discontent.

Everywhere, she continues to push for more Shumlin programs. She is worse than Shumlin squared.

Wasn’t the 700 million dollars in additional taxes over the past six years enough?

Why doth Minter want our last dollar? Isn’t it bad enough young families can’t afford to live here?

Can we afford to continue on this path that Shumlin and Minter have brought?

Is it too much to ask for a pause in additional business killing regulations?

Why is she pushing for more school taxes? Why is she shoving school consolidation and loss of local control down our throats?

Thus, the Minter of our discontent. Who could afford such lunacy?

If Minter wins, it will be economic winter in Vermont forever. It will be the Minter of our discontent.

MIDDLEBURY — Vermont logging practices have endured years of scrutiny and regulation by U.S. and state government. Now a new set of regulations have gone into affect since October and the aim is to improve water quality on large-scale logging sites in the state.

The Acceptable Management Practices for Maintaining Water Quality on Logging Jobs in Vermont, or AMPs, are mandatory practices designed to protect water quality as it relates to soil erosion and runoff occurring before and following logging activity.

According to Meghan Purvee of the Vermont Department of Forests, Parks and Recreation, the agency revised the AMP rule as a requirement of Act 64, an act passed in 2015 to improve the quality of state waters.

“The final AMPs are a result of significant public input and numerous discussions with foresters, landowners, loggers, environmental groups and other departments within the Agency of Natural Resources,” she noted in a recent news statement about the Act 64 changes. “It will apply to all logging operations on public and private lands in Vermont regardless of the purpose of the logging”When the practices are implemented, landowners and loggers also satisfy legal requirements under the State Water Pollution Control statutes and the Vermont Water Quality Standards.”

Purvee stressed that “A landowner or logger who chooses not to implement AMPs may be subject to enforcement action and significant penalties if state waters are negatively affected by a logging operation.”

“The AMPs will continue to be an important tool for loggers and landowners to protect water quality and soil health,” said Forests, Parks and Recreation Commissioner Michael Snyder. “We are currently preparing workshops and guidance material to get this information into the hands of practitioners.”

EYE ON THE ARTS

Curing loneliness with stable communities In “Palm Sunday,” Kurt Vonnegut wrote that young people should use their lives to do “the most daring thing,” which he says is “to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.”

In an era where technology can be a near-obsessive draw, I would argue that one of the most important facets of local sustainability is us young people not only contributing to that Doctor Who subreddit online, but the community around us.

You may wonder sometimes, after reading through a newspaper’s event listings, how attending the opening reception of an art exhibit could matter.

It matters because it not only has the ability to enrich your life, but your community at large.

It gives local lawmakers something to point to when they want to grant additional funding for a certain project — with regular attendance to gallery openings and concerts, they can say that there is a market in your area, and residents have a clear interest in arts and entertainment.

It gives you an opportunity to connect with people who you may never meet otherwise. Even if you are not an artist, it gives you the opportunity to meet them and connect with perspectives beyond your social circle.

The list of benefits are seemingly endless.

There are a number of events happening around the state this week.

Here are just a few: The Vincent Flats Blues Band will take the stage at Sweet Melissa’s in Montpelier on Nov. 11 at 9 p.m. Organizers say that this performance is a post-election celebration, where voters will be able to “let off some steam” and listen to some music.

Burlington’s ArtsRiot will host the Orbiting Human Circus, Julian Koster and the Music Tapes on Nov. 11. “The Orbiting Human Circus” is a podcast created by Koster, one of the musicians behind the ‘90s cult-hit band Neutral Milk Hotel. The podcast is a mysterious mishmash of stories and sound effects available online. Tickets are $12 in advance and $15 in advance.

ArtsRiot will also host “Urban Expression II,” a silent art auction, raffle and concert to benefit the Chill Foundation. The Chill Foundation is a non-profit youth development organization founded by Burton Snowboard founders Jake and Donna Carpenter. There will be a donation of $5 requested at the door. For more information on these events, visit facebook.com/ ArtsRiot or call 540-0406.

The Latchis Theater in Brattleboro will screen “Vengo Volviendo,” an Ecuadorian film by Filmarte, on Nov. 16 at 6:30 p.m. The movie follows a 22 year old Ecuadorian man obsessed with immigrating to the United States. Tickets are $10. For more information, visit latchis. com.

Italian

Continued from page 1 Canaccini’s visit to Middlebury included spending time with faculty and students talking about the struggle between the papacy, and other political factions, in a primitive, divided Italy during the 1300s.

“In Italy of the 1300s, competing ‘city states’, also called communes, and papal-controlled areas—which included Roma, Umbria and part of Romagna—were the political structures of the day,” according to Canaccini. “It didn’t matter if you were of the Church or in the ruling laity. Everyone was trying to get and hold power. It was a violent time.”

According to Canaccini, from the early 1300s to the late 1370s, the popes didn’t even live in Italy. They lived in the regal papal palace at Avignon, France, and were manipulated by the French king, not Italy’s battling families of wealth.

Canaccini has written several scholarly books on this subject in his native Italian.

The young scholar’s greatest undertaking, so far, has been translating a collection of 13 ancient Latin manuscripts— consisting of questions written by medieval students and submitted to their masters for answers by school’s end—gathered from around Europe.

The 14th century manuscripts have been digitized for easy access and for translation and annotations.

The work, left undone following the death of Canaccini’s mentor, Professor Prospero Stella of Salesian University of Rome, will take years to complete.

“Dr. Stella left me the manuscript copies to translate,” Canaccini told the Eagle. “In those days, it was tradition for

www.addison-eagle.com

students to submit all kinds of questions—from natural science to religion—for the professor to answer in text.”

Canaccini said that the responding professors—regardless of having taught in medieval learning centers such as Rome or Paris—spent a lot of time in answering just to display their knowledge and brilliance.

“They were the experts, the pundits of their day,” he said.

In most cases, these mavens were tied to their regional ruling elites and were highly politically motivated in their responses.

“They had the ear of royalty and the ruling classes,” Canaccini added.

“They were amplifiers of the established power structure,” not unlike the maligned ‘elites’ we hear about today.

What was on the mind of medieval students which prompted their questions?

According to the Italian scholar, students were interested in such things as: What of sin and salvation? Do Siamese twins have one soul or two? What follows my death?

“While they never questioned the existence of God,” Dr. Canaccini said, “they sometimes asked questions which challenged—such as what would have happened if St. Paul did not travel the road to Damascus.”

The professor is looking forward to returning to Italy for the winter months.

“I love Vermont and hope to return to Middlebury again next year,” he said. “And while it reminds me a little of some of the hills of northern Italy, it is much colder.”

After lecturing at Middlebury, Canaccini is visiting other colleges in the east before returning to Princeton and then back to Rome.

IN BRIEF

Local students attend St. Lawrence VERGENNES — St. Lawrence University has welcomed students to the Class of 2020. Merle H. Beach of Vergennes. Beach attended Rice Memorial High School.

Charles R. Meyer of Bristol. Meyer attended Mount Abraham Union High School. Morgan K. Pratt of New Haven.

Pratt attended Mount Abraham Union High School, and Kareena A. Vorsteveld of Vergennes. Vorsteveld attended Vergennes Union High School.

Bristol man cited PITTSFORD —On Oct. 22, troopers from the Vermont State Police were notified of a one car motor vehicle crash on U.S. Route 7 in Pittsford. State Troopers were initially advised that the male operator had fled the scene on foot. Upon arrival, the operator was located and identified as Richie J. Montani, 51, of Bristol. Montani’s vehicle had been traveling north and left the east side of the roadway when it entered a ditch and went airborne, landing a short distance away. While speaking with the Montani, he exhibited several signs of drug impairment. Montani was screened for driving under the influence, and refused to provide a blood sample.

Montani was subsequently taken into custody for DUI and negligent operation and processed at the Vermont State Police Rutland Barracks.
