New rules for local industrial hemp farmers
Task Force: ‘Open Creek Road immediately’
Series: USDA releases interim final ruling
But Middlebury Selectboard delays yet again; road still closed
By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
From News Reports
MIDDLEBURY | According to hemp farmer and Vermont Sen. John Rodgers, D-Essex-Orleans “The 0.3% (USDA rule on THC) is a totally arbitrary number that was established testing biomass from the lower branches of a hemp plant.” Rodgers was interviewed by True North Reports about the U.S. government’s new interim final rule on growing commercial hemp, establishing the U.S. Domestic Hemp Production Program. “The proposed rule would have us test the top flower of the plant which is the strongest part of the plant. If the proposal was 0.3% delta 9 it would probably work fine, but they want to figure delta 9 plus total THCA (non-psychoactive cannabinoid) times 0.877, which will put most good hemp strains over the limit, even though no one that wanted to get high would ever want to smoke it, as it is still very low in THC. All cannabis should be treated as the agricultural product that it is,” he said. Rodgers acknowledges that the 0.3% rule was a lready k now n to both Vermont law makers a nd hemp farmers as the

likely future federal standard since the 2014 farm bill. “The (0.3%) labels are for compliance with the law,” Rodgers said.” If tests were run on every pre-roll (hemp reefer), you may find that many do not comply.” Rodgers is convinced that Vermont’s state laws regarding growing industrial hemp make more sense locally than the federal “top-down” guidelines. “We are leading the nation in developing hemp rules and laws that work,” he said. “The feds have to approve our hemp program, and if they do we live by our rules. Some discretion has been given to the states. In my view, the states should be left alone to run their out programs without federal interference.” In an Oct. 31 news release from the Vermont

Photo by Amanda Turgeon Agency of Agriculture, Food and Markets (VAAFM), Stephanie Smith, chief policy enforcement officer, stressed that the agency will consider implications of the federal hemp plan on local farmers. “VAAFM notes that the interim final rule focuses on preventing diversion of THC and destruction of ‘hot’ crops but not the opportunity this new crop brings in supporting small scale agriculture common in Vermont,” Smith said. “And while the VAAFM supports consumer protection and quality control, it also supports defensible and sensible regulation that allows Vermont’s small, craft growers to take advantage of the economic opportunity and the continued development of supporting infrastructure, such as facilities that process grain, fiber and resinous hemp, and laboratories, which have drawn high paying jobs to the state.” According to Rogers, “If the feds would follow... (Vermont’s) lead, you would see rural America get new life breathed into it,” he said. “Millions of dollars have been invested in Vermont in a very short time because of our hemp program. This is the largest economic development that has happened in Vermont in generations and could be the same kind of economic driver throughout rural America.” ■ — This is part 2 of a 3 part series.

MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury Selectboard members recently discussed a recommendation from the Creek Road Task Force that the town should install guardrails along eroded sections on the southern end of Creek Road, which has been closed since 2015 due safety concerns, and reopen the road to through-traffic immediately. The task force made its recommendation in response to concerns about the legal status of the road. In 2015 the town funded an engineering study to identify alternatives for repairing and reopening some or all of the road. The selectboard formed the Middlebury Creek Road Task Force last spring to work with local consulting engineer Peter Degraff to evaluate and cost out options, based on his analysis of the engineering study, for making repairs to the roadway sufficient enough to open it again. Having heard the task force’s recommendation, and after a lengthy discussion, the board voted 4 to 3 in favor of taking no action on the recommendation to reopen the road immediately, pending the completion of the Task Force’s alternatives analysis, which should be ready for the Board’s review in the first quarter of 2020. ■
After a long delay, Creek Road in Middlebury may finally reopen.

GRETAL is 12 years-old and she’s a great cat. She loves to play, is affectionate, and loves humans; however, nothing makes her crankier than another cat. She will hiss and growl. If you put her in a room by herself at the shelter, she is happy and is as sweet as can be and you’ll see how great she is. Gretal has hyperthyroidism and needs daily medication, but don’t worry, she is a champ at taking it.

Local students win state 4-H awards Participants from Bridport, Bristol, Ferrisburgh, Lincoln, Middlebury, New Haven & Orwell By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
BRIDPORT | Competing under a brand new event banner, several Addison County 4-H Club showed the right stuff when it comes to showing what they know about dairy-related livestock. This year, 4-H unveiled its new “Vermont 4-H Bovine Bonanza” moniker, formerly known as the 4-H Dairy Challenge. The event, we are told, was renamed and expanded this year to include 4-Hers enrolled in the beef and working steer projects who might otherwise have missed out on the statewide event. And just like the former 4-H Challenge event, this new Bovine Bonanza was sponsored by the UVM Extension 4-H program with Lisa Halvorsen working closely with members. “This year’s event consisted of four learning sessions, each followed by a written test with age-appropriate questions for each of the four age groups,” according to Halverson Champlain. “The sessions covered hoof care, tractor safety, nutrition and reproduction. Instructors were Dr. Jon Higgins, a New Jersey large animal veterinarian and UVM alumnus, Liz Kenton, UVM Extension Youth Agriculture Project coordinator, and UVM students Anna Colfer and Daisy Navin.”
Earning rosette ribbons for their high individual scores in the 10-11-year olds age group at the State 4-H Bovine Bonanza, Nov. 9 in Burlington were: Front row (left to right): Caleb Sprague, Leah Rogers, Andrew Fors. Back row: Paul Tipper of Bristol, Charles Young, Chandler Cook, Alexis Whipple of Bridport, and Ava Smith.
PLACEMENTS BY AGE GROUP WERE AS FOLLOWS:

From the editor By a 2-to-1 margin, Democratic voters outnumber Republican voters in the city of Tucson, Arizona. But on Nov. 5, the blue city’s voters overwhelmingly rejected a ballot proposition that would have officially turned the city into a sanctuary for illegal aliens. So, 71.4% of voters rejected the proposition, while only 28.6% of voters supported it. Every Democrat on the ballot cruised to easy victories, making the conclusion crystal clear: voters on
both sides of the political aisle reject protecting criminal illegals from federal immigration enforcement. Also on Nov. 5, blue-state voters in New Jersey’s Sussex County affirmed, by a 2-to-1 margin, that they want county law enforcement to cooperate with U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers. So how about Gov. Scott, Vermont’s Democratic and Progressive legislators, and voters? Where do you stand on this issue? Vermont Presidential hopeful U.S.

Sen. Bernie Sanders released his detailed immigration plan two weeks ago; not surprisingly, it doublesdown on sanctuary policies despite the bellweather election results in New Jersey and Arizona. According to Chris Chmielenski of NumbersUSA, a pro-legal immigration activist group, “While Senator Sanders’ initial immigration plan had included sanctuary policies, his revised plan expands those policies by permanently shutting down ICE and putting a ‘moratorium on deportations’ even of criminal aliens
who have been convicted of violent crimes. In addition, Senator Sanders, who in the past has expressed concern for mass immigration’s impact on American workers, calls for increases in family-based immigration and to eliminate the backlog of more than 4 million foreign citizens awaiting green cards.” While we respect Senator Sanders’ service, we believe he’s out of step with common sense voters regarding this important national border security and law enforcement issue. — The Eagle ■
Guest viewpoint
The latest climate stealth tax By John McClaughry GUEST COLUMNIST
A decade ago I wrote a column entitled “Reactionary Liberalism”. That’s the pernicious practice of legislators who believe government ought to fund large programs, but who dare not face the wrath of taxpayers when they’re required to pay for those programs... A month from now the most audacious reactionary liberalism idea for 2020 will be unveiled. It’s called the Transportation and Climate Initiative (TCI). The driving force behind it is, of course, the perceived (by some) pressing need to combat the Menace of Climate Change. Since 2015 by a coalition led by the Vermont Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG) has tried to peddle a $500 million a year carbon tax, to make people quit burning carbon-based fuels, and at the same time generate lots of revenues for the government to hand out to needy groups, like solar farm developers, heat pump installers, and electric car dealers. But even the present overwhelmingly liberal legislature won’t buy it. So the climate change
activists have hit upon another strategy. Forty three percent of Vermont’s carbon dioxide emissions come from transportation fuels burned by cars, trucks, and motorcycles. So the activists have invented a 12-state agreement that will impose an annually escalating gasoline and on-road diesel fuel tax that every Vermont motorist, truck and bus owner will have to pay, but no legislator will ever have to vote for! This is a reactionary liberalism dream: extract millions of dollars from people who can’t figure out why their motor fuel bills are steadily creeping up, and spread the revenues around to pay for “carbon reduction investments”... The TCI is astoundingly, one might even say diabolically, complex. The details, not yet finalized, will emerge in a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) scheduled to appear in December. After public input, the MOU will go to Gov. Phil Scott. His signature would put Vermont into the 12-state deal. Then either the Regulated Terminals that supply motor fuel to eighty Vermont distributors, or the distributors themselves, will have to purchase “allowances”, the cost of which will be inconspicuously added into the price paid by consumers... Did I mention that no legislator will ever vote on this stealth carbon tax? Gov. Phil Scott, alone, can plunge Vermont into this mega-scheme to
sock Vermonters with a carbon tax that the TCI backers hope they’ll never figure out. But Gov. Scott has repeatedly voiced his opposition to a carbon tax. What if he refuses to sign on to the MOU? Here’s another diabolical feature. If he doesn’t sign the MOU, Vermont motorists will still be forced to pay for the cost of the allowances hidden back up the supply chain in Massachusetts and New York. But Vermont would not be eligible to receive its assigned share of the net revenues (after enormous enforcement and legal costs) from the TCI allowance sales. Here’s the short takeaway: The TCI MOU is designed to make Vermont consumers pay a steadily increasing carbon tax on their gasoline and diesel fuel. No legislator will ever vote on imposing this tax. It will just happen, courtesy of the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the climate change warriors like VPIRG who extol its benefits. After ten years of increasing motor fuel prices, the TCI will have produced no detectable effect whatever on climate change. It will be a glorious triumph for reactionary liberalism. Just not for you. ■ — John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute (www.ethanallen.org) in Montpelier.

The earliest form of quarrying marble in Vermont dates to 1827 when James Lincoln and others produced grave stones from marble they had cut from local deposits. In Danby, around 1842, the Western Vermont Marble Company was part of the first mill for sawing marble that was built by the Kelley brothers. The mill used hydro power generated by a wooden wheel from nearby waterfalls and a log dam. V Library of Congress image

BRISTOL | Without supportive intervention, life is bleak for Nepali girls and women. To learn how an innovative program is helping inner-city Nepali girls achieve a brighter future, the public is cordially invited to “Hands in Outreach: Giving Nepali Girls a Future Through Education” presented by Jaclyn Davidson. The program takes place on Thursday, Nov. 21 at Lawrence Memorial Library from 7 p.m. to 8:30 pm. This event is sponsored by One World Library Project. It is free and handicapped accessible. Nepal has the densest number of world heritage sights in the world and unsur-passed natural splendor in its landscape. It is also the poorest country in South Asia, with a mean annual income of $350, a literacy rate of 35% and a jittery government and economy with unemployment hovering near 50%. Because Nepal is a patriarchal society that treats women as second-class citizens, girls and women are marginalized and positioned to have no voice. The mission of Hands in Outreach is to provide access to education to help alle-viate a condition of profound poverty. With a holistic approach, HIO builds lasting rela-tionships with families and partner schools, empowering girls to become strong, self-reliant adults. Jaclyn Davidson of Salisbury has sponsored two children in one family through Hands in Outreach. In addition to offering an overview of the program and its supportive literacy initiatives for girls and their mothers, Davidson will share her personal journey visiting with the family she supports and the schools and teachers of Hands in Outreach in Kathmandu. As Davidson points out, HIO “increases a girl’s change to stay in school, avoiding early marriage and/or pregnancy and a lifetime of low-wage, menial jobs.” The program will include a slide show. Time will be available for questions. For more information about this event or One World Library Project, contact the Lawrence Memorial Library at 453-2366 or go to OneWorldLibraryProject.org or the One World Library Project Facebook page. ■

Panthers wins NCAA Field Hockey Regional Semifinal set for Nov. 23 From Campus News Reports MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE
MIDDLEBURY | Middlebury College will make its 11th trip to the final four after a 4-1 victory over Kean (19-4) in an NCAA Regional Final on Kohn Field. The two-time defending champions will take on Salisbury in one semifinal on Saturday, Nov. 23, while John Hopkins will face Franklin & Marshall. The winners will meet on Sunday for the national title. The second-ranked Panthers improve to 19-1 on the season with the win. Middlebury took just 41 seconds to get on the board as Katie George scored her teamleading 12th goal of the season, putting home a rebound after a shot from Julia Richards had been saved. Last week’s victory was the 36th-straight win at home for the Middlebury Panthers and the 10th-straight win in NCAA Tournament play. Middlebury College photo

lead early in the third quarter, but her shot hit the right post. On the ensuing penalty corner, Johns made it a 4-0, after a great series of passes resulting in an assist for Fearey. The goal at the 34:20 mark was the sixth of the season for Johns. Kean got on the board 4:21 later when Ja’Carra Jackson converted an aerial pass from Peyton Mann into the right side of the cage. Neither team scored in the fourth quarter as the Panthers came away with the win. Middlebury held a 17-4 shots advantage in the game and a 5-3 edge in penalty corners. Harlan finished the contest with two saves, while Belly Reynoso made nine stops for the guests. The victory was the 36th-straight win at home for the Panthers and the 10th-straight win in NCAA Tournament play. ■

Meg Fearey put the hosts up 2-0 with her fourth goal of the year, this one coming on a penalty corner. After a shot from Emma Johns had been saved, Fearey tucked home the rebound on the near post. The lead grew to 3-0 8:59 into the game when Marissa Baker scored from just inside the top of the circle with a high shot after a feed from Richards. The tally was Baker’s seventh of the season. Kean had a pair of penalty corners with 5:00 left in the period, but the Panther defense snuffed out the opportunities. The Cougars’ best chance to score in the opening half came 2:05 into the second quarter, but Melissa Way’s breakaway attempt was thwarted by Panther keeper Grace Harlan. George nearly increased the Middlebury

Local educator receives national award Martha Seifert heads up Addison County 4H By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Young people from around Addison County, especially those who have been involved in 4H Club activities in recent years, know and respect educator Martha Seifert. And that’s why Seifert, the University of Vermont (UVM) Extension 4-H educator for Addison County, is receiving accolades for her being the recipient of the 2019 Distinguished Service Award from the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents (NAE4HA). “As the Addison County 4-H educator for the past 11 years, Martha has provided programming in a wide range of project areas. Most recently she was instrumental in reestablishing the 4-H beef and working steer projects in the county,” according to the UVM Extension Service. UVM noted that Seifert received her award on Nov. 7 at an honors banquet held in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia. According to the NAE4HA announcement, Seifert serves as president of the Vermont Association of Extension 4-H Agents. She also is a key member of the Vermont 4-H Dairy Committee. She the resource specialist for the Addison County 4-H Foundation. The recent award recognizes members like Seifert with seven or more years of service to 4-H. The honor includes
personal excellence, effective programming and contributions to local and state 4-H programs. According to UVM’s statement about the award, Seifert regularly organizes numerous local livestock and equine events, “including a horse clinic in the spring, as well as the ever-popular Addison County 4-H Foods Day, designed to help youths learn about food and nutrition through informational workshops, hands-on food preparation and culinary contests. A total of 230 young people, ages 5 to 18, participate in 4-H in the county, both as members of 18 local 4-H clubs and through after-school and in-school programs.” Seifert, herself a former “4-Her”, began her association with the organization as a young person and member of the Connecticut Bovine Buddies 4-H Club where she grew up. “She earned 4-H achievement medals in dairy, cooking and demonstrations, her three main project areas, and represented her state in the dairy project at the National 4-H Congress in Chicago,” according to UVM Extension. “She also was selected to participate in the National 4-H Dairy Conference in Wisconsin one year.” Vermont 4-H Director Sarah Kleinman said, “Martha exhibits a strong passion for youth in agriculture. She steps up to all opportunities that might further the future of Vermont’s working lands by enabling our program participants to have opportunities to explore their interests. She’s able to connect one-on-one with them through this shared passion.” ■ Addison County 4-H educator Martha Seifert received the 2019 Distinguished Service Award from the National Association of Extension 4-H Agents.

POLICE BLOTTER
UVM freezes tuition
Leceister crash, no injuries
President acknowledges soaring student debt
LECEISTER | On Nov. 14, at approximately 8:37 p.m., Vermont State Police responded to a reported one-car motor vehicle crash on U.S. Route 7 in Leicester. An initial police investigation indicates that Brenton Mackinnon, 41, of Brandon, was traveling south in the southbound lane. For an undetermined reason Mackinnon exited the proper lane of travel and further exited the western side of the roadway where Mackinnon struck a utility pole. Mackinnon was evaluated by rescue personnel and did not suffer injuries. The Vermont State Police were assisted on scene by members of Brandon Police Department, Rutland Regional, and Brandon Fire Department. Green Mountain Power also responded to the scene. ■
By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
EBURLINGTON | University of Vermont (UVM) President Suresh Garimella announced last week that tuition for the academic year beginning in fall 2020 would not increase over 2019 levels. “Student loan debt is the second highest category of consumer debt—second only to mortgage debt and higher than credit card debt. Funding a college education is one of the very largest expenditures families face in the United States,” Garimella said. “Forty-four million borrowers owe $1.6 trillion in student loan debt. Yet, education is increasingly important to future success. It’s critical that we do everything we can to address the pressures that families and individuals face in their effort to achieve their educational goals.” Vermont Gov. Phil Scott thanked Garimella for freezing the university’s tuition costs. “We know there is tremendous value for our kids in earning a college degree University of Vermont or pursuing trades training and technical education. These are opportuniHEA LTH NE TWORK Porter Medical Center ties that we want all kids to be able to access and afford. That’s why I’m pleased to hear today’s announcement that the University of Vermont will not increase tuition rates for the 2020 school year,” Scott said on Nov. 14. EVERYTHING WITHIN REACH " “Having the nation’s best cradle-to-career education system will be the very best economic development tool we could have here in Vermont and probably requires some reimagining of our current systems, which are disconnected between early care and learning, preK-12 and postsecondary. However, the affordability of what we currently have, and where we’d like to go, is a huge challenge and balancing act for Vermonters. I believe President Garimella understands this dynamic – I think it’s reflected in today’s announcement – and I appreciate his leadership.” ■

ADDISON | On Nov. 11, at approximately 6:01 p.m., Vermont State Police troopers responded to a two-car motor vehicle crash on Route 17 near the intersection with Jersey Street in the town of Addison. A preliminary VSP investigation indicated that Donald Bickford, 68, of Addison, was traveling east around a curve when an unidentified vehicle forced him off the eastbound lane. When Bickford attempted to return to the lane of travel, he crossed into the opposing lane due to snowy road conditions. Bickford then sideswiped Patrick Kachmar, 47, of Vergennes, who was traveling west. As a result of the collision, Kachmar left the roadway off the westbound lane and crashed into a road sign. Kachmar was evaluated by rescue personnel and did not suffer any injuries other than soreness. There were no other injuries as a result of this crash. The Vermont State Police were assisted on scene by members of Town Line First Response, Addison Fire Department, and Vergennes Rescue Squad. ■
