Phil Scott wins Vermont governor’s race Vermont Watchdog
By Michael Bielawski mbielawski@watchdog.org
BURLINGTON — Amid a festive atmosphere on election night, Republican gubernatorial candidate Phil Scott won a convincing victory over Democrat rival Sue Minter. At around 11:30 p.m., with a commanding lead and 75 percent votes counted, the pro-Scott crowd gathered at the Sheraton Hotel and began to realize that a celebration was in order. Moments later, Scott took to the stage to give a victory speech. “To every Vermonter who put your faith in me, your support means so much. Thank you,” he said.
“For those of you who voted for Sue, or Bill or someone else, I want you to know that I will work for each and every one of you, just as I will for every Vermonter as your next governor.” By early morning, with all but three districts reporting, Scott had won 163,306 votes, or 53 percent of voters. Minter garnered 134,496 votes, or just 44 percent of voters. Scott, a native of Barre, ran his campaign primarily on a renewed commitment to fiscal responsibility, pledging to limit spending increases to the rate of economic growth. “Together we’re going to make the economy and affordability Montpe— Continued on page 11

McDonough new ACAF board member Local students awarded college research grants By Lou Varricchio & Gail Callahan lou@suncommunitynews.com
MIDDLEBURY — The Addison Community Athletics Foundation (ACAF), a supporting organization at the Vermont Community Foundation, announced that it has welcomed Brian McDonough to its board. ACAF was established in 2012 to promote access to, education about, and awareness of athletics and healthy behaviors in greater Addison County. In 2014, Middlebury Indoor Tennis was donated to ACAF, which now owns, operates, and supports the facility as a nonprofit organization. McDonough is an owner of Woodware in Middlebury and is active in both the Middlebury and Lincoln communities. “I am excited to join the board,” McDonough told the Eagle. “I love tennis and strongly believe that physical activity leads to mental and emotional health. I’m looking forward to working with an organization that shares that belief.” McDonough has served as a selectman in Lincoln, board member of Weathervane United, chair of the Walter S. Burnham Foundation, and vice president of United Way of Addison County. He lives in Lincoln with his wife Eva, a health care professional in the ASCU school district. They have two adult sons. The Vermont Community Foundation provides leadership in giving by responding to community needs, mobilizing and connecting philanthropists to multiply their impact, and by keeping Vermont’s nonprofit sector vital with grants and other investments in the community.

Addison County is now home to Chevy Volt, Bolt E.V.s By Lou Varricchio
lou@suncommunitynews.com
MIDDLEBURY — Denecker Chevrolet is an official General Motors Chevrolet Volt E.V. (electric vehicle) dealership, according to owner Tom Denecker. The dealership will also sell the smaller Chevrolet Bolt E.V. due out in 2017. The first-generation plug-in Volt E.V. model was first introduced by G.M. in 2010. The newly redesigned second-generation Volt is out now with a beefy, extended-drive lithium-ion battery pack. With Volt sales up 79 percent for 2016 versus the same time period in 2015, there’s an increased emphasis on marketing the all-new Volt to new drivers interested in made-in-theUSA vehicles. According to Denecker, both existing and new Chevrolet customers are taking note of the 2017 Volt and are visiting the dealership to see it for themselves.
Denecker Chevrolet has factory trained technicians in place to service the high-tech vehicle with a cockpit that resembles a small aircraft and offers an all-leather package Volt and Bolt charging stations are also being installed at the dealership’s brand-new facility located at 510 U.S. Route 7 in Middlebury. Denecker also operates a parts and service outlet located at 14 North Main St. in Vergennes. Unlike the typical hybrid car, the Volt offers a parallel drive system—it runs either on 100 percent battery mode or a hybrid-electric driving mode. It also includes setting for longdistance highway and mountain travel—ideal for low-carbon footprint conscious commuters around the Green Mountains State. The Volt can be driven just like a traditional combustionengine auto. A small four-cylinder gas generator powers the all-electric car for normal long-distance travel. And unlike the popular
and better known Toyota Prius import, the USA-made Volt is 100-percent electric even when supplemented by its small gas generator. Prior to 2016, the Volt car offered 35 miles all-electric range; the new model is now rated for 53 miles. The second-generation Volt model runs on regular gasoline instead of premium, gets better MPG, and an opened up back seat accommodates a fifth passenger. “The new Volt is again prompting a wave of positive reviews and acknowledgements,” according to Jeff Cobb of Hybridcars.com. “It is best selling plug-in gas-electric car, has been on the market the longest, and is the only one to receive a full redesign.” With the all-important E.V. range improved and nearly doubled compared to Toyota—its next-nearest competitor— Denecker Chevrolet is expecting more business from local environmentally conscious auto shoppers.
Hannaford Career Center News: congrats to students! By Len Schmidt lschmidt@pahcc.org
MIDDLEBURY — The faculty and staff of the Patricia A Hannaford Career Center Adult Education Program are proud to announce that the following students completed the Licensed Nurse Assistant certificate program during the Fall of 2016 and were licensed by the Vermont State Board of Nursing. Students learned the basics of assisting patients, body mechanics, ethics, and communication in the medical setting. Completion of this program requires that students demonstrate proficiency in recognizing several life-threatening emergencies, administering
CPR and using an AED, performing essential patient care procedures, and pass written and practical exams to demonstrate their knowledge and ability. The following students are to be congratulated for successful completion of the LNA program and being licensed by the State of Vermont: Arlene Atkins, Sabrina Bell, Melissa Cole, Megan Ducharme, Jasmine Heath, Soleil Jean, Amber LaFountain, Rachel Sorrell, and Molly Wetmore. In other school news, the Hannaford Career Center Work Based Learning Program recognized Justin Sequin and County Tire. Justin was a 2015-16 Auto Tech student from Middlebury Union High School. Dur-
ing a typical busy day last fall, the crew at County Tire mount and balance 250-300 snow tires and Justin kept up with the work. Learning to inspect, repair, mount, and balance tires is a part of the Auto Tech curriculum at the Career Center; shadowing helps students like Justin get a taste of the pace and variety of work at a busy, local professional shop. At the time we recognized Justin, County Tire owner Steve Dupoise commented that, “Justin is a quick learner and gets along well with the guys in the shop. It’s a steep learning curve but he is definitely headed in the right direction.” Justin keeps several vehicles running in top
form, including a classic, 1968 Ford F-100 flatbed truck. The son of Todd and Elizabeth Sequin of Ripton, Justin was admitted to the University of Northwest Ohio. He told us last year that when he graduates, he plans to open his own automotive-technology shop. Len Schmidt Adult Technical Education/Coop Coordinator P.A.

Publisher’s Column
Bigger than you and me From the editor
N
ow that the 2016 election is over, it’s time to realize that there are things bigger than nation states and the little affairs of hu-
mankind. I keep a notebook filled with quotes and facts that I come across in the course of my readings. Most of these scribblings are of a scientific nature on subjects which are of special interest to me along with spiritual thoughts culled from various traditions. During the course of a dinner conversation several years ago, I was unable to recall the source of a wonderful quote I uttered. I was angry with myself for not recalling the source. From that moment on, I decided to jot down the things (along with their sources) which struck me as especially thought provoking. I’ll share these extracts from my little notebook: •You, me, the cat, the dog, the stars and planets: all the stuff that we see in the observable universe make up only 5 percent of all the matter in our cosmos. The bulk of our universe is made up of dark energy, the invisible stuff the fuels the expansion of the cosmos (75 percent), and dark matter, heavy gravity stuff (25 percent), all the other stuff we will never see. Even with that said, I came across a news item about a new idea of gravity which disposes with the idea of dark matter, hence, all the textbooks may have to revised in years to come. •Extraterrestrial intelligence: alien biology is not likely to be purely aggressive, but unlikely to be purely peaceful. Should we continue to broadcast our presence in outer space? •Here today gone tomorrow: Stars explode at the rate of 10 every second in the observable universe. That’s a lot of novae and supernovae. •Seeing is believing in a contradiction: While the universe may be 14 billion years old, astronomers can actually see objects that are 47 billion light years away, all thanks to our expanding cosmos courtesy of dark energy. According to UCLA’s astronomy website, “This (fact) is not due to any change in the units of space and time, but caused by things being farther apart now than they used to be.” •Quasar, quasar burning bright: Astronomers are almost certain that quasars (quasi-stellar radio sources) are massive, energetic black holes in the cores of early galaxies. These objects are billions of light years from Earth in both time and space. Yet, one weird object, cataloged by astronomers as no. SS433 in 1978, appears to be a “mini-quasar”. SS433
20940
is located a mere 10,000 light years away from Earth. SS433 challenges the accepted scientific view of these powerful, luminous quasi-stellar objects. •The Earth may be round but the universe is flat: This idea doesn’t mean that our cosmos is physically flat as the screen you’re reading these words upon, but rather “flat” in the Euclidean sense meaning that, in the geometry of our universe, imaginary parallel lines will never intersect “out there”. •What is the universe expanding into? Nothing. The cosmos creates its own space as it expands. Our universe may be a micro universe formed as a “white hole” at the far end of a titanic black hole in a mega universe. It’s unlikely we’ll ever know for sure. •Our Sun won’t explode: unlike many sci-fi stories and news reports, the Sun isn’t massive enough to explode as either a nova (a white dwarf with a normal stellar companion that explodes by stealing the binary’s gas) or a supernova (a massive star which explodes). But one day it will swell into a red giant stage, engulf the inner planets, and then shrink back and compress into an Earth-sized white dwarf star, billions of years from now. Since the Sun, even as a white dwarf, won’t have another star as companion, it won’t explode. •Galaxies on the move: Yes, our universe is expanding thanks to dark energy, but galaxies remain at their fixed celestial coordinates; it’s the distance (space) between the fixed galaxies which expands over time. Astronomers see this phenomenon as the “redshift” of light. A mind-bending novelette, titled ”He Who Shrank”, was written by Henry Hesse and published in Astounding science-fiction magazine during the 1930s. The story describes a scientist’s journey through a sub-atomic infinity. At one point in his journey through smaller and smaller universes, the fictional scientist passes through our own Earth, just another planet in one of the endless sub-atomic universes he traverses. This haunting, purely imaginary tale gives meaning to physicist Freeman Dyson’s phrase, “infinite in all directions.” When reading a bedtime story to his children, Albert Einstein liked to begin the yarn thus: “Once upon a space-time…” A delightful thought, Einstein probably never said this to his kids at bedtime. It appears to be nothing more than a witty, urban legend. American astronomer Allan Sandage (1926-2010) once said that the cosmos is “a miracle… it seems supernatural.” The astronomer was fond of saying that any creation event must have a cause. He liked to point out that Thomas Aquinas wrote centuries ago that when you find the first effect of things, you have found the first cause. I hope this small sampling of scribbles— culled from great scientists and thinkers of our age—get you thinking about your own little place in a vast, seemingly infinite universe. — Lou Varricchio
Elections have consequences
V
ery few of us saw this one coming. Watching the voting go down to the wire made for an exciting and historical election. Glad I lasted until 2:30 am and still made it to work by 7:30 am last Wednesday. So many points to comment on with regard to this election, but one thought occurred to me as I was drifting off to sleep. That thought was about our two Dan Alexander flawed, less than perfect candidates. Thoughts from Like many of you I worried and Behind the Pressline prayed about this election with so many major issues at stake, but when it appeared clear that Mr. Trump would indeed be the next president, it came to me that so many times throughout history God has placed an imperfect person — that none of us would have selected — into a role to perform an unimaginable task. Could this be one of those times? After listening to Secretary Clinton’s concession speech; Mr. Obama’s speech welcoming the President-elect, and watching as Speaker Ryan and Congress fell in step, followed by the stock market’s sudden rise, one can’t help but be optimistic about our future. Since President Bush-41 said, “Read my lips, no new taxes” in the 1988 campaign and then ended up compromising with the Democratically-controlled House to pass a bill that grid locked partisan politicians, we’ve seen our country grind to a halt. Neither party would give ground for fear of losing votes from an unappreciative constituency. No matter how important the legislation was to the country, retaining seats was always the highest priority. President Obama gave us hope with his election speeches but failed to deliver. He and the Republicans never even tried to get on the same page for fear of crossing party faithful. This election demonstrated the error of those ways and why party compromise is the only way forward. I believe this election holds a great deal of promise. Trump is a deal maker beholden to no one and his personality will drive him to be successful beyond what any president before him has ever done. Combine that with the fact that he was a Democrat for many years and as a non politician who ran with little support from the established Republicans, he is not susceptible to lobby pressure. His focus appears clearly based on the American people who crossed party lines, overcame political correctness and risked ridicule to place him in office. For that reason, I believe his administration will accomplish things no other administration could since both parties now recognize he is a different type of leader with a unique base. My hope is he will lead the nation to achieve things on behalf of the public that will alter how the parties have positioned themselves in the past, and perhaps for the first time in many years, more of our elected officials and citizens will be drawn to the moderate center when it comes to governing our country. I think the protestors also see the writing on the wall and recognize that change is inevitable. For a guy who favors a wall, he broke down many barriers on his way to the presidency. The course is now set, it’s up to all of us to support the new president and those charged with making this government work for the citizens of the country. Our united focus must now be one nation under God with liberty and justice for all. Dan Alexander is associate publisher of New Market Press. He may be reached at dan@newmarketpressvt.com

According to an e-mail by Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay, VTrans officials will unveil the results of an in-depth reexamination of the plan to replace the deteriorated Main Street and Merchants Row bridges as well as the safety of the rail line. Ramsay’s message noted that the topics to be discussed will include, “How accelerated bridge construction can reduce the project’s impact on or downtown, a season-by-season walk-through of construction plans, including work schedules and noise levels, state and federal plans to protect Middlebury’s citizens, historic buildings, and environment during construction and post-construction, improvements to the Town’s storm water management system and electrical and telecommunications utilities, and how project information will be communicated to the public in Middlebury, Addison County, statewide, and to out-of-state visitors.” For local residents with questions about the project and how it will disrupt downtown business and traffic, or for concerns they would like addressed at the meeting, e-mail them in advance to Jim Gish, Middlebury’s project liaison official, at jgish@townofmiddlebury.org.

Aged to purrfection. During November, the adoption fee for cats age 9 and up is just $9! Why adopt a senior cat? Reason #2: Its personality is already fully developed, so what you see is what you get. You’ll know if you’re adopting an independent kitty who will give you space or a cuddly cat that always wants to snuggle. Keri. 12 years, DSH Tortie, spayed female. Want your own “grumpy cat?” Then look no further! Kerie is actually a very sweet kitty, but her markings make her look perpetually grumpy. She is a laid back kitty who loves to climb up onto your lap for snuggles. If you are in need of a quiet companion, she’s your girl!

EYE ON THE ARTS
Give life ‘everything you’ve got’
W
alter Cronkite, born this month in 1917, once said that he “can’t imagine a person becoming a success who doesn’t give this game of life everything he’s got.” That line of thinking certainly translates to the art world. To use the music industry as an example; though there is now a fast-track to recognition in the form of televised competitions — spinning red chairs, that’s all I’ll say — a majority of music careers are still defined by the artist’s ability to fight tooth and nail for their relevance. Musicians, artists and writers all share this problem. Their career isn’t necessarily something you can apply for and keep by doing a good job. It’s an ongoing struggle. A labor of love. At the end of the day, local artists, musicians and writers have it the hardest: it’s extraordinarily difficult to draw fans to your shows when you play the same circuit every month. But local artists are the lifeblood of a community. Every town or city that hopes to be a cultural epicenter for their region needs them. That’s why it’s so important to show up to local events and support the arts in your area — attendance is a vital piece of having a robust local economy. Support your community and your local artists by attending an event this week: Local favorites Kat Wright & the Indomitable Soul Band will perform at Higher Ground in S. Burlington on Nov. 18. Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $16 in advance and $18 at the door. For more information, visit highergroundmusic.com.

Stonecutter Spirits in Middlebury will host another installment in their Film & Food Truck Series — this time pairing a screening of “The Breakfast Club” with food from Taco Truck All Stars. A special “Breakfast Club” inspired cocktail menu will also be served. Service for Tack Truck All Stars begins at 5 p.m., with the “Breakfast Club” screening slated to start at 7 p.m. For more information, visit facebook.com/stonecutterspirits. Burlington’s ArtsRiot will see a performance by the APEX Ensemble on Nov. 19. APEX, a 13 piece band, will put their spin on pieces from Stevie Wonder’s “Songs in the Key of Life.” Doors open at 8 p.m. Tickets are $12 in advance, $15 at the door. For more information, visit artsriot.com. The Dark Star Orchestra will perform on Nov. 21 at the Paramount Theater in Rutland.

Continued from page 1 lier’s top priorities. We’re going to make sure that the state budget doesn’t grow faster than the economy or our wages,” he said. By contrast, Minter’s campaign focused on social issues, an aggressive alternative energy policy, free tuition to state colleges and other ventures that stood to add new burdens on taxpayers. In one of the last polls before the election, VPR and Castleton Polling Institute projected that the race was neckand-neck. But a WCAX poll weighed less heavily towards Democratic respondents showed Scott up by seven points. Among the issues separating the candidates was the question of imposing a $500 million tax on on carbon emissions. Scott pledged to veto any carbon tax bill that might get to his desk, while

Minter said she’d wait and see what the Legislature put in the bill before making her decision. On gun control, Scott vowed to defend Vermont’s liberal gun freedom, emphasizing that the state has among the highest per-capita gun ownership in the nation yet the lowest gun crime rates. Minter called for universal background checks and a ban on semiautomatic guns, which she characterized as “military-style assault weapons.” On renewable energy, Minter said Vermont should keep industrial-scale wind turbines as part of the state’s energy portfolio. Scott said large turbines, which can be up to 500 feet tall, are disruptive to the environment and to the communities that host them, and he pledged to pursue a moratorium on new wind energy development. When asked for which issues voters had just given him a mandate, Scott stuck to his mantra on spending. “I think they need a break. This crisis
of affordability is real for the vast majority of Vermonters,” Scott told Vermont Watchdog. “They want us to live within our means just like they have to. They want some help with the economy. They just want to be able to live in Vermont and prosper. I think that’s their mandate.” Scott said one of his first priorities upon getting into office will be to “work with the Legislature and try to find some common ground.” “This budget is something we are going to be building — we are going to start tomorrow. That will be a lot of work over the next seven or eight weeks,” he said. Scott stayed afterward and celebrated both with fellow Republicans and many supportive Democrats and others until the late in the evening. ON THE COVER: Phil Scott: Vermont’s first Republican governor since Jim Douglas.

BIG FISH, LITTLE RIVER — Earlier this year, when this photograph was taken, Nicholas Marcoux, 14, caught a 25-inch-long native rainbow trout in the Neshobe River. Since then, the teen has been congratulated by area anglers for his achievement. Recently, Marcoux received praise from town residents for catching what might be one of the largest fish ever pulled from the Neshobe River. The young fisherman is the son of Ray and Thomasina Marcoux of Brandon.

Continued from page 1 partnership, mobilizing people of all ages to get civically engaged,” she noted. In Rutland County, RSVP and the Volunteer Center is part of the Community Care Network’s Rutland Community Programs, a sponsor for over 30 years. “RSVP and V.C. has the unique advantage of being a well-established volunteer program with over 35 years of successful volunteer management as well a strong collaborative partnership with over 150 non-profit organizations in the two-county region we serve,” according to Bosworth. Bosworth said the RSVP and the Volunteer Center has over 900 volunteers in the region. “Last year alone, RSVP-V.C. volunteers provided 158,796 hours to more than 150 non- profit organizations in the Addison and Rut land county region,” she said. How significant are these volunteer hours to our communities? “It means that RSVP is a catalyst for positive change, with volunteers positively impacting their communities with their dedicated service,” Bosworth said. By late morning on Election Day, it appeared that Bosworth and O’Meara had the required 90 signatures in Vergennes. For the coordinators, the next step is to seek out new volunteers to help serve the Little City community and elsewhere in Addison County. “You can volunteer as little or as much as you want,” Bosworth noted. “There is no minimum time required or age restrictions. Your gifts of time and talent will be appreciated and valued by those you touch with your service.” Volunteers of all ages are needed from Ferrisburgh to Rutland—to find out more, call 802-388-7044 (in Addison County )or 802-775-8220 (in Rutland County).
