FBI investigating TRAINING VERMONT’S Shelburne case NEXT GEN PROGRAMMERS » pg. 6

By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

SHELBURNE | On Nov. 28, Shelburne-area police and rescue crews were called to the Wake Robin retirement community to investigate a report of a possible ricin exposure.

“During their initial investigation, a substance field tested positive for the toxic poison Ricin. Confirmatory testing at the Vermont Department of Health Laboratory completed early this morning was also positive for Ricin toxin,” according to a news statement by Mark Bosma of the Vermont Department of Public Safety last week. “At this time no one from the public is in danger.”

Bosma noted that symptoms of ricin poisoning develop rapidly after exposure.

“No individuals have been identified as being exposed, nor are expected, based on the last possible date of exposure on Sunday, Nov. 26. All areas potentially exposed by this substance have been evacuated and secured by law enforcement,” his statement continued. “This incident is considered to be isolated and is currently being investigated by the FBI. No further information regarding the ongoing investigation is available at this time.” » Ricin Cont. on pg. 3

Volunteers of Vermont: Time not money

MIDDLEBURY | According to a new survey by the Washington, D.C.-based personal-finance website WalletHub, released just in time for Giving Tuesday on Nov. 28, when it comes to charities among the 50 states, Vermont has the most charities per capita. Yet the state did not make the top 20 list of most charitable states.

Marked for the Tuesday following Thanksgiving and shopping events Black Friday and Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday focuses on the year-end charitable season of giving. The event was created six years ago by the New York-based Belfer Center for Innovation & Social Impact.

According to WalletHub, Vermont has the most charities per capita, standing at 27.14, which is 4.6 times more than in Nevada, the state with the fewest in-state charities at 5.95. However, the northern New England state didn’t make it to the top 20 most generous, charitable states in the United States. The Green Mountain State ranks 33 among the 50 states when it comes to charitable giving.

“With a third of all annual giving taking place in December, and the U.S. ranking No. 5 overall in the 2017 World Giving Index, our report on 2017’s Most Charitable States includes a charity calculator (app) to help donors decide whether to give time or money for maximum philanthropic impact,” WalletHub’s Communications Manager Diane Popa said.

So, how does Vermont stack up among the remaining 49 states when it comes to volunteering

and giving back to the community?

At least when it comes to having a sturdy population of dedicated volunteers, Vermont is ranked No. 1 in retaining community volunteers across the state.

WalletHub reported the following data about Vermont collected by its survey takers: • Volunteerism rate: 31.04 percent, 12 out of 50 • Volunteer retention rate: 75.9 percent, 1 out of 50 • Volunteer hours per capita, 37.1 percent, 13 out of 50 • Community-service requirement for high school graduation: 25 out of 50 • Share of population collecting and distributing clothes for the needy: 22.73 percent, 35 out of 50 • Share of population collecting and distributing clothing for the needy: 11.25 percent, 47 out of 50 • Share of Vermont’s population fundraising or selling items to raise money for charity: 25.73 percent, 19 out of 50.

• Share of income donated to charities and the needy: .94 percent, 45 out of 50 • Share of population donating personal time to charities and the needy: 44 percent, 12 out of 50 • Rank of population donating money to charities and the needy: 34 out of 50 • Public charities per 100 residents: 27.14 percent, 1 out of 50 • State regulations affecting charities: 40 out of 50 • “Feeding America” food banks per 1 million residents: 86 percent, 19 out of 50 » Volunteers Cont. on pg. 11

I’m an adorable lady with unique markings who loves getting lots of love and attention. I’ll happily sit next to you as you pet me and give me a nice ear massage. I’m smart and I already know how to Sit so I’m looking forward to learning more commands and maybe even some tricks. I enjoy being outside and am happy it’s stopped raining (for a little while.) so I can relax and enjoy the sunshine. If you are looking for a new best friend and think that I’d make a great match for you please stop by and say hello.

I am a big friendly fella with a great personality.

I really love being around people and I will follow you around wherever you go. I make a great sidekick.

I came to RCHS on Nov. 17 because my owner did not have enough time to care for me. I am gentle and quiet and will not say no to a back scratch or ear massage. I am clean and use my litter pan and I like other cats. I am all around a good guy and I am looking for my forever home where I am safe and warm indoors.

I’m a ver y playful gal who loves tennis balls.

Squeaky toys are lots of fun, too, but I’ve been known to destroy them in no time flat. I will need lots of sturdy dog toys to keep me happy and entertained. After I play and play I will relax and take a well deserved snooze. I’m very social, too, and enjoy hanging out with my favorite people. I am super adorable especially when I show you how I can Sit Pretty (I know Sit, too, but I love showing people how I can Sit Pretty.). I’m so talented.

I am a great adventurer. I was brought in by a caring citizen who had noticed me around the neighborhood for quite some time. They were feeding me for several months and felt I should be off the streets and in a safer environment away from all of the dangers of outdoor living. So here I am. I have to admit it’s a change, but I am adjusting to being in a cat room and am doing okay. I would love to find a home where things can be permanent and I don’t have to worry about what’s next. ■

Orwell’s site was liberty’s keystone

By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

ORWELL | Ironically, little has been written in-depth about one of Addison County’s most unusual places of history.

Now a National Historic Landmark, Orwell’s Mt. Independence was one of the largest military fortification in the U.S. It even eclipsed Fort Ticonderoga, located across the Lake Champlain narrows from the site.

Thankfully, a new book, titled “Strong Ground: Mount Independence and the American Revolution”, tells the heroic story about Vermont’s role in America’s war to free itself from the tyranny of the British crown.

“From July 1776 into July 1777, the fate of the newly independent United States of America rested upon a rocky peninsula on the east side of Lake Champlain,” according to author Don Wickman. “The Americans on the Mount turned back a British invasion in the fall of 1776. Like the men at Valley Forge a year later, they suffered from cold and privation during a winter encampment.”

Wickman, along with members of the Mt. Independence Coalition, the book brings to life, through words, art, maps and photography, the pivotal role played by “Fort Independence” atop the mount during the 1770s.

A massive star-shaped fort was built atop the Mount along with gun batteries, a soldiers hospital, and a dock where lake vessels brought supplies and guns. An amazing floating bridge, a military engineering feat of its day, also linked the two lakeside forts for a short time.

“At the height of the American fortification of Mount In-

BRIEFS Cornwall crash injuries

CORNWALL | On Nov. 26, at approximately 08:30 a.m., troopers from the Vermont State Police New Haven Barracks responded to Wooster Road in Cornwall for a report of a single vehicle rollover crash.

An on-the-scene investigation revealed that Carolina Haper, 33, of Burlington, was driving too fast for conditions, causing her vehicle to leave the roadway, colliding with a tree. The collision with the tree then caused the vehicle to roll onto its roof.

Harper sustained minor injuries as a result of the crash and was transported to UVM Porter Medical Center.

The Vermont State Police were assisted by the Cornwall Fire Department and Middlebury Rescue. ■

MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury Town Clerk’s Office will operate under modified hours for December.

Beginning Monday, Dec. 4, and for the entire month of December, the Middlebury Town Clerk’s Office at 77 Main St. will operate on the following modified schedule: Monday-Thursday. 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.

The Town Clerk’s Office will resume normal business hours (Monday-Thurdsay, 7:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.) beginning Tuesday, Jan. 2 in the new year. ■

Mount Independence presented a formidable obstacle to

invaders from Canada. If Fort Ticonderoga across the narrows is the Gibraltar of North America, then Mt. Independence could be considered the Maginot Line of the North.

Telecom history in Burlington History was made in the telecommunications field last week when a municipal utility went from public to private. But pity those folks who attended last Monday’s Burlington City Council meeting expecting a swift decision on a buyer of Burlington Telecom. They were in for a long and tedious wait to watch history being made.

City councilors, who began filing into Contois Auditorium for the meeting at 5:30 p.m., got around to voting after midnight.

After a nearly two-hour-long adjournment in which city council members huddled about the Burlington Telecom decision, a surprise conclusion was reached: councilors selected Schurz Communications and ZRF Partners as the new

owners of Burlington Telecom. Schurz had been eliminated from the final bidding last month, but returned in a surprise move with a surprise offer.

While Schurz had been eliminated as a bidder on Oct. 16, the Indiana-based media corporation charged back into the game with a $30.8 million offer, while joining forces with a little known minority bidder called ZRF Partners.

CEO Todd Schurz admitted during the meeting that the deal between Schurz-ZRF and the city had been worked out in about 15 minutes. The deal, which now incorporates ZRF, is essentially the same Schurz offer made in October. There are details, he noted, that “have yet to be ironed out.”

According to Nisar, ZRF would handle the

human resources, education and internship programs, and community outreach liaison work.

Schurz will manage the business and technical side of the utility.

The meeting which continued into the early morning hours made attendees and councilors happy or cranky, depending on the bidders they favored or their state of wakefulness.

Some councilors and residents in the audience weren’t buying the majority’s positive spin.

“I have never seen a less transparent offer than bringing in a completely new offer when everybody’s asleep,” on city councilor said. ■ - The Eagle

As Congress begins discussion on proposed changes to the tax code, there are often small points that take a while to attract the public’s attention. One of those small points is the proposed elimination of the federal estate tax.

By current law, estates under $5.49 million are not subject to estate taxes.

With a bit of planning, a married couple can have $10.98 million of an estate shielded from estate taxes.

The current law pegs the taxable level to inflation, so the amount subject to tax will move with the economy.

One point to remember in calculating estates taxes is that taxes are applied on the net estate, not the gross estate. An individual with $7 million in assets but also with $2 million in

debt has a net estate of $5 million, none subject to federal estate taxes.

The American farmer has quite often been the poster child for efforts to eliminate the estate taxes. But very few farm families are subject to the estate tax while far more benefit from an aspect of the law that is usually not mentioned when discussing how people might benefit.

This aspect is the step up in basis, which benefits all individuals whether they are subject to estate taxes or not.

This benefit particularly benefits those who invest in business assets that are generally held a long time and slowly increase in value over time. Sounds like farm land? Perfect example.

So what is this step up in basis? It is part of the estate tax code. At the time of death, assets are distributed by will or through a trust as directed by the individual and valued at current

market value. You may inherit some farmland, cows or a valuable antique or stamp collection.

What is the tax situation? If the estate was valued under $5.49 million, there is no federal estate tax on the estate.

But what about the individual who inherited the property? It works like this. You inherit 100 cows valued at $1,600 per cow, totaling $160,000.

You do not owe taxes unless you sell them above the new basis.

What is the basis? At the time of death, all assets are valued by a reputable appraiser that puts the current value of the cows at $1,600 each at the time of the owner’s death. So that is the cows’ new basis, no matter whether their basis was $0 or $1,200. The person who inherited the property can sell the cows for any amount up to $160,000 and pay nothing in capital gains tax.

If they sell the cows for $161,000, they

NOW NIGHTLY

pay capital gains tax on the $1,000 made over the basis.

What is the heir’s tax situation? The farmer leaves the farm to his daughter who has worked with her parents for years. She now owns the farm that now has a tax basis of $800,000. She can sell the land for $800,000 and not pay one penny in capital gains tax. Nothing. No capital gains tax on sale of the farm.

Who gains and who loses? Depending on your opinion, who wins and who loses may be debatable. But when you hear about the disadvantages of the estate tax, don’t forget that the free step up in basis gives a huge benefit to families not subject to subject to estate taxes. The step up in basis also benefits those who pay estate taxes.

Anti-nuke power play Pot, not green enough?

By John McClaughry ETH A N A LLEN INST TITUTE

Here’s an interesting insight into the arcane world of global renewable energy politics, based on the Oct. 30 column in Forbes by widely-read energy blogger Rod Adams.

Recently, the annual “Conference of Parties” (COP23), the consultative body for the United Nations Framework Convention for Climate Change, convened in Bonn, Germany. For the past eight years a business-oriented Sustainable Innovation Forum (SIF) has been held alongside the COP, cosponsored by the U.S.-led advocacy group Climate Action and the UN Environment Program (UNEP).

This year, the Forum accepted the World Nuclear Association as a Gold Sponsor. But then UNEP demanded that the Forum reject any participation by the nuclear trade association. Its spokesman said “we prioritise the renewables revolution, such as wind and solar energy. … Our work on the nuclear sector is limited.”

It’s limited all right — to zero.

Adams reports that among the gold-level sponsors that SIF accepted were BMW and Toyota, whose profits come from fossil fuel burning engines, and Orstead, a utility that operates coal-fired power stations. Why did UNEP not veto those?

The answer seems to be that the auto manufacturers and utility acknowledge that their use of petroleum and coal is destroying the planet — UNEP’s mantra — and they’re seeking absolution for their guilt. And nuclear? The nuclear industry is proud that it emits virtually no carbon dioxide — no guilt, and no absolution needed.

Beneath this theological level, UNEP (along with the American climate change organizations) is passionately anti-nuclear. Why? Because the prospect of clean, safe, cheap 21st century nuclear electricity not only threatens to displace coal and petroleum, which is fine with the activists, but it also threatens to put an end to the subsidy-driven wind and solar carnival, which is not.

Adams quotes Kirsty Gogan, global director of Energy for Humanity, as saying “by blocking nuclear from the conversation, and insisting on a conditional, renewables-only, response to climate change, UNEP have displayed a dangerous ideological agenda that undermines its own credibility.”

But there are some climate-change warriors who urge greater reliance on nuclear power. The most prominent is renowned climatologist Dr. James Hansen, the now-retired head of NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies. He is the man who made “global warming”, later rechristened “climate change”, a

Letters

Gift-of-Life

To the Editor: The 2017 Gift-of-Life Marathon blood drive is almost here and once again we are reaching out to the people of greater Rutland asking that they share their good health with patients in need. The American Red Cross needs donors to help ensure blood is available for patients throughout the holiday season.

The Gift-of-Life Marathon is close to our hearts, and we hope everyone reading this feels that same sense of pride. What started out as an idea for a small employee blood drive in 2003, just a little drive to help the Red Cross through

global issue in his 1988 testimony before a Senate Committee including his soon-to-be most ardent disciple, Al Gore.

Hansen is so passionate a believer in fossil fuelcaused climate change that he has been arrested in protests against mountaintop coal mining and the Keystone pipeline. But he understands that attempting to maintain an acceptable level of civilization by relying on activist-approved renewables is, to use his term, “crazy”.

In 2013 Hansen co-authored an open letter to policy makers, which stated that “continued opposition to nuclear power threatens humanity’s ability to avoid dangerous climate change.”

In a Scientific American report (Dec. 4, 2015) Hansen said “Nuclear, especially next-generation nuclear, has tremendous potential to be part of the solution to climate change. The dangers of fossil fuels are staring us in the face. So for us to say we won’t use all the tools [such as nuclear energy] to solve the problem is crazy.”

Seven years prior to that, on a website titled “Tell the Truth to Obama,” Hansen said “The [$25 billion Federal nuclear waste disposal] fund should be used to develop fast reactors that eat nuclear waste and thorium reactors to prevent the creation of new longlived nuclear waste… Accelerated development of fast and thorium reactors will allow the US to fulfill its obligations to dispose of the nuclear waste, and open up a source of carbon-free energy that can last centuries, even millennia.”

Here are three takeaways: First, intermittent, diffuse, and non-dispatchable wind and solar electricity can be valuable in certain remote locations, and even for homesteads, but it simply can’t be relied upon to power a modern electric grid — and in fact, it’s already causing serious grid stability problems. Nuclear stations deliver steady, safe, reliable dispatchable baseload power to the grid, accompanied by almost no greenhouse gas emissions (mainly from trucks and equipment used in mining uranium ore.)

Second, we are long overdue to knock down the daunting regulatory barriers to licensing and building the Generation 4 nuclear plants that James Hansen urgently recommends.

Third, climate change activists who irrationally oppose even the discussion of anything nuclear deserve to be disregarded.

In addition, the Trump administration should reduce the U.S. contribution to the UN Environment Program, and let the renewable-industrial complex pick up the slack. ■ - John McClaughry is vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute.

We thought that for the amount of work involved, we could do something bigger together and help save far more lives.

Blood donations drop around the holidays. We get it – between recitals, family commitments and shopping, people are busy. But hospital patients don’t always get to choose the moment they’ll need a potentially lifesaving transfusion. The will to help people in need is in the DNA of Vermonters, and the Red Cross once again needs our help.

The 2017 Gift-of-Life Marathon blood drive will be held Wednesday, Dec. 20, at Castleton Uni-

versity Campus Center; Thursday, Dec. 21, and Friday, Dec. 22, at the Rutland Holiday Inn. Visit redcrossblood.org to schedule your appointment and be sure to enter sponsor code “GOLM”.

The most valuable gift of all for a patient in need doesn’t cost a thing. Our hope is that readers who are looking for a way to give back this holiday season will consider donating blood. Life is a gift, give more of it.

WEYBRIDGE | Born at UVM Porter Medical Center on Nov. 11 to Amanda Warren and David

Dolginow of Weybridge, a baby girl Harriet Appell Dolginow. ■

MONTPELIER | In Colorado, commercial marijuana cultivation comprises about half

By Guy Page of all demand for • CAPITAL COLUMNIST • new electricity. If Vermont adopts regulation, cultivation and sale of marijuana, industrial-scale indoor cultivation likewise will increase electricity consumption and greenhouse gas emissions.

Vermont’s Clean Energy Plan calls for 90 percent total renewable energy by 2050.

A 2012 law set aggressive benchmarks to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. To meet these goals, Vermonters pay higher rates to support renewable energy and energy efficiency.

About half of Vermont’s electricity comes from high-emissions combustion of natural gas, oil, coal, or wood. Therefore, any proposed large “spike” in electricity use that does not lead to less fossil fuel consumption (like electric cars or home heat pumps) will hinder progress towards these goals.

Huge new demands for round-theclock power also could threaten reliable delivery of power, and require more purchases of expensive “peak” power.

Marijuana legalization is causing concerns across the U.S., especially with regard to incidents of driving while stoned. New research suggests it may be bad for the environment as well.

Vermont and Colorado relate to each other in a rough, “rule of thumb” 1:10 ratio. There is about one Vermonter per 10 Coloradans; about one megawatt of electricity consumed for every 10 in Colorado; and the frequent estimate of $20 million in possible Vermont marijuana regulation/sale revenue is about $1 for every $10 raised in Colorado.

Colorado pot cultivation consumes about 316,890 megawatt hours (MWH) of electricity. If the 1:10 ratio holds true, a “regulate and sell” Vermont industry will add about 32,000 MWH annually from commercial marijuana cultivation alone.

[Here’s my arithmetic: According to the Oct. 2, 2016 Denver Post, as early as 2014 indoor industrial pot “grows” consumed enough electricity to power 35,000 homes. The average Colorado home consumes 9,054 kilowatt hours (KWH) annually. 35,000 x 9054 equals 316,890,000 KWH, or 316,890 MWH. If the Vermont/ Colorado 1:10 ratio holds, that is 31,689 MWH in Vermont, rounded up to 32,000 MWH.] As of Nov. 1, Colorado had 1,461 licensed cultivation centers. Virtually all cultivation occurs indoors, due to commercial marijuana’s high-maintenance need for precise amounts of light, humidity, and heat. A failure in any of these three environmental factors could lead to quality control and financial disaster.

Lighting is particularly expensive – about half the cost of production. “Some larger facilities today suck down as much as $1 million in power a month,” the Oct. 2, 2016, Denver Post reported.

A small, 3,100 sq. ft. facility has a power bill of $5,000 – but is happily paid because a pound of pot sells for $2,500 a pound, with expenses only $600.

To put 32,000 MWH in Vermont perspective, the combined energy efficiency savings of the state’s two leading energy efficiency utilities, Efficiency Vermont (EV) and the Burlington Electric Department (BED), totaled about 112,000 MWH in 2016. EV and BED encourage us to buy low-watt light bulbs and appliances, and offer us planning and financial assistance, with the goal of reducing the state’s power load, especially at “peak” times of day.

In other words, Colorado-style commercial marijuana cultivation on a Vermont scale would wipe out 29 percent of Vermont’s annual electricity conservation savings.

Note: these statistics refer only to added load for cultivation. There are no known energy statistics for marijuana industry offices, transportation, and commercial stores.

Colorado now has more marijuana storefronts (491) than either Starbucks (392), or McDonalds (208), according to the latest issue of Colorado’s state report on marijuana.

To date, Vermont’s energy policy makers have not studied energy implications of pot cultivation resulting from legalization. In the last two weeks I have asked one senator and one House member, both on energy committees, and a utility spokesperson if they have considered this problem. The response, in a word: no. Governor Phil Scott has asked his marijuana advisory commission to investigate the implications of legalization in several “miscellaneous” areas, but energy consumption is not among them. About two weeks ago I inquired about energy implications through the advisory commission’s “contact us” website portal. I have not received a reply.

Vermont is an energy-conscious state. In the name of reducing greenhouse gas emissions, our leaders have asked and even required Vermonters to make changes in what we pay for energy, how we drive, how we dress, and how we heat and light our homes. In the coming months, Vermonters will be watching to see if these leaders address the adverse energy consequences of marijuana legalization and cultivation.

VMS Assisted Death Referendum A Vermont Public Radio story about the Vermont Medical Society’s decision to not call assisted death “ethical” somehow came out as a “win” for supporters of Act 39, the state’s assisted death law.

As reported in a recent Statehouse Headliners, the Vermont Medical Society on Nov. 4 refused to support a referendum calling assisted death “an ethical choice”. Instead, the VMS referendum merely noted that assisted death is legal in Vermont — which has been true since 2013.

The Vermont Alliance for Ethical Health Care, of which I am advocacy director, told the reporter quite correctly that this decision was a significant shift in support of doctors who do not support assisted death as an ethical choice. ■ -Statehouse Headliners is intended primarily to educate, not advocate. It is e-mailed to an ever-growing list of interested Vermonters, public officials and media. Writer Guy Page is affiliated with the Vermont Energy Partnership, Divestment Facts, the Vermont Alliance for Ethical Healthcare and the Church at Prison.

» Code Academy Cont. from pg. 1

By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

BURLINGTON | Silicon Valley has one, so does Boston, New York and Los Angeles, as well as university campuses nationwide. But now its the Burlington metro area’s turn: a private, high-tech school dedicated to teaching the challenging, complex and creative science of computer programming.

Burlington Code Academy is opening Vermont’s first code school in June.

In addition to coding, the academy also teaches life skills.

The academy provides accelerated education programs that teach students how to become job-ready programmers in 12-weeks.

The school’s initial course, titled Web Development Bootcamp, is an immersive, on-site program, meaning students can expect a full-time, 40-plus hour work week.

“Students are provided career guidance and networking opportunities as they work together in teams on projects that simulate a real work environment,” according to academy founder and CMO Alexander L. Horner. “Burlington Code Academy provides students with the opportunity to jump into a new career, or learn the skills they need to advance their current one.”

According to Horner, tech companies throughout the U.S. are having difficulties finding qualified candidates, coding bootcamps have been growing in popularity as an effective funnel for new talent.

“In Vermont, businesses have moved out of state due to a

Burlington Code Academy’s Alexander Horner CMO, Alex Chaffee CTO and Senior Instructor Benjamin Boas CEO.

lack of skilled applicants able to fill open positions,” he told the Eagle. “Burlington Code Academy is reversing that trend by providing accessible, accelerated education.”

“It’s a two-sided market” added cofounder and CEO Benjamin Boas. “We provide students with the skills they need to enter a career in tech and help Vermont companies find the talent they need to grow.”

The academy is currently accepting applications for the

Web Development Bootcamp, launching this June. Tuition rates have been cut in half for the first course.

Students can sign up by visiting BurlingtonCodeAcademy.com and submitting an online application. “Although previous coding experience is not required, drive and dedication is a must,” Horner said.

Starksboro attorney named to PUC From Staff & News Reports V ERMONT EAGLE

STARKSBORO |Vermont Public Utility Commission (PUC) officials appointed Staff attorney John Cotter of Starksboro as its new deputy general counsel.

A new policy director, Tom Knauer, was also named.

In addition to assisting the PUC general counsel, Cotter

will continue to serve as a team leader, hearing officer, and key support to the Commission in major cases. He also will provide legal advice to the commission officials and staff.

Cotter joined the PUC in 2010 and has served as a staff attorney and hearing officer since that time. He has presided over many cases and served as lead staff on several cases that were presided over directly by the Commission.

Prior to joining the PUC, Cotter served as a staff attorney at the Department of Public Service beginning in 2000,

and he worked in private practice at the law firm of Ward, Kelley & Babb in South Burlington. He received his law degree from Vermont Law School in 1993 and a journalism degree from Saint Michael’s College in 1983.

Commission Chair Anthony Roisman told the Eagle, “I am pleased... the commission has selected John Cotter to be the new deputy general counsel and Tom Knauer to be the new policy director. The management team selected them after interviews with several highly qualified applicants for each position.”■

» Volunteers Cont. from pg. 1 • Overall score: 61.9 percent • Overall rank: 33 out of 50 WalletHub’s survey analyst Jill Gonzalez said that, at least in terms of volunteering, Vermont does quite well compared to rest of the United States.

“Vermont has the 12th highest volunteer rate at 31 percent and the highest volunteer retention rate in the country at 76 percent,” she said. “However, when it comes to distributing food and clothes, the state ranked below average with just 23 percent of the population distributing food and 11 percent distributing or collecting clothes, the third lowest share in the country.”

However, when it comes to charitable giving, in terms of out-of-pocket money, the picture looks very different, Gonzalez added.

“Less than one percent of Vermonters’ income is donated.

Fortunately, it appears that Vermont’s residents — 44 percent of them — prefer to donate their personal time (rather than money). That’s certainly helpful since the state has the highest number of public charities at over 27 per 10,000 residents,”

The Vermont Eagle | December 9, 2017 • 11

Gonzalez said. In the true sense of the old adage, when it comes to helping out those in need, ttime is just as valuable as money to the minds of most Vermonters.

While Joanie Praamsma, executive director of the non-profit, faith-based Pregnancy Resource Center of Addison County in Middlebury, confirms that Vermonters are somewhat cautious when donating their hard-earned money to charity, they might do so for a very good, down-to-earth reason; a reason that’s born of old- fashioned New England pragmatism.

“I used to work for a statewide non-profit, so I have the perspective from giving at a statewide level to giving on the local level,” Praamsma said. “Now I observed that I didn’t see as much giving on the big level as much as you do locally.

Vermonters like their towns and villages. Thus, people appear to give more on a very local level. I’d suppose that’s because donors are more simply more connected to their own communities. As far as the current state of volunteerism goes across Vermont, I’d have to give it a big thumbs up. For example, we have three volunteers working in our Middlebury office right now, with a total of six volunteers who help us out at various for certain events. And then we have to count the 15 generous churches, and their congregations, who help us, too. So far, we haven’t lost a single dedicated volunteer.”■

Event to raise funds for 3D imaging device

By Peg Bolgioni GUEST W RITER

MIDDLEBURY | Nothing is more powerful than love, especially when it’s given away.

The annual Rutland-area Subaru Share the Love event is back.

“This year Rutland Subaru has selected Rutland Regional Medical Center’s Early Detection Saves Lives campaign as the beneficiary of its local Share the Love event,” said Stephan Maeder, owner of Rutland Subaru. “The campaign will help bring new 3D breast imaging technology to the local region. During the Share the Love event, Rutland Subaru will donate $250 for every new Subaru sold until Jan. 31. We are proud to partner with RRMC to support this important initiative right here in our community.”

It is important to note that one in eight women and one in 1,000 men will be diagnosed with breast cancer in their lifetime.

Mammograms are the best way to find breast cancer early, when it is easier to treat.

As part of this commitment, Rutland Regional Medical Center will purchase two

new 3D breast imaging machines with a goal of raising $350,000 to fully cover the cost of one new unit.

As a not-for-profit hospital, Rutland Regional relies on community support to assist with this initiative. The new 3D breast imaging machines will enable superior breast imaging and detection of abnormalities at an earlier stage, which can help to save lives.

“With the acquisition of the new machines, Rutland Regional Medical Center will be the first facility in Vermont to have this newest generation of three dimensional technology.

This is a leap forward in our technology, and I am excited the community can be a part of it”, said Dr. Daniel R. Mitchell, director of radiology at Rutland Regional.

Foley Cancer Center’s Dr. Allan Eisemann said, “We are grateful to Rutland Subaru for choosing the Early Detection Saves Lives campaign as the beneficiary of this year’s Subaru Share the Love program. Community support continues to make a difference for our patients. We are thankful for the generosity that this initiative will generate

Fast start sparks Middlebury past Tufts MIDDLEBURY COLLEGE

MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury men’s hockey team scored twice in the first period and received 37 saves from goalie Stephen Klein, as the Panthers (1-5-0, 1-3-0) netted a 2-0 NESCAC victory Saturday at Tufts (1-5-1, 0-3-1). Middlebury continues conference play last Friday, with a road contest at Hamilton.

The visitors got the early jump on the Jumbos, scoring just 43 seconds into the game. Vincent Gisonti crashed the net for a rebound with the end result being his initial goal of the season. The Panthers extended the lead to 2-0 later in the stanza, netting a shorthanded goal with 7:30 on the clock. Alex Heinritz pounced on a turnover in the neutral zone, before setting up Jimmy McKee for a onetimer for his first goal of the season. The assist was Heinritz’s first point as a Panther.

Middlebury’s defense protected the lead through a scoreless second period. The Panthers had a very effective penalty kill, allowing only one shot on goal, while minutes later Klein made key back-to-back saves on shots by Tufts’ Craig Uyeno and Charley Borek. The Panther goalie was steady all period, turning back all 14 shots taken by the Jumbos.

In the final 20 minutes, the teams traded chances just before the midway mark as Mason Babbidge first fired a shot as he cut across the slot that Klein denied. Less than a minute later, Middlebury’s Mark McLellan found some room in the between the circles and whistled a shot high. Brown had another quality chance for the hosts with 7:31 remaining, working his way to the top of the crease from the left wing, but Klein again came up with a clutch stop. The Panthers weathered the final 2:08, as the Jumbos pulled goalie Drew Hotte in favor of an extra attacker, but Middlebury didn’t allow any quality chances

Middlebury’s Stephen Klein boasted a 37-save shutout against Tufts. to preserve the win.

Klein’s shutout, the ninth of his career, was his second in as many seasons at Tufts.

Last winter, he turned in a 41-save performance during a 1-0 victory. Hotte finished
