Will youth-oriented campaign jump-start Rutland’s appeal?

Cunningham

Property taxes force secondhome owner to give up on Vermont

Vermont Watchdog

By Emma Lamberton Vermont Watchdog

RUTLAND— When Greg Cunningham bought a vacation home in Enosburg Falls in 1992, he knew he never wanted to leave.

“Vermont was my getaway. A visit filled me with intense joy,” he told Watchdog. Cunningham and his wife fell in love with the quaint, remote town in northern Vermont.

Cunningham, an electrical engineer living in Toronto, grew up north of the Vermont border, in the Canadian province of Quebec.

While out-of-state homeowners often live like tourists, Cunningham and his wife became part of the community. They visited six to seven times a year, for Continued on page 15

RUTLAND — Some Rutland-area business leaders have expressed worries over regional trends in the decline of skilled workers, an increase in groups in need of government assistance—such as incoming refugees—crime, illegal drugs, high energy costs, and high taxes.

But now Rutland-area business leaders are looking for help from regional professionals to help launch a campaign that is hoped to go a long way in addressing and possibly reversing some of these trends.

A new multi-tiered community campaign, involving business boosters, media advertising, and professionals, is hoped to act as the opening salvo of what will likely be a multi-year effort.

This soon-to-be-launched effort’s prime mission will be to focus on stopping and reversing Rutland County’s population declines.

A “request for proposals”, known as RFPs, was issued Dec. 1 by a local consortium consisting of the Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce (RRCC), Rutland Economic Development Corporation (REDC), Rutland Redevelopment Authority, the Downtown Rutland Partnership, Killington-Pico Area Association, and Killington Resort.

The new RFP seeks a detailed marketing plan focused in large part on rebuilding the regional population to fill existing and new jobs that are created, and destroying the perception Continued on page 16

Alpine slopes, art go together in Vermont

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

RIPTON — According to Jennifer Williams of the Vermont Arts Council, the joys of exhilarating winter sports aren’t enough when it comes to appreciating Vermont in its approaching postautumnal phase.

“Today’s ski resorts and surrounding communities offer a cultural immersion that is equal parts pride and pleasure,” she said.

In a new push to get the word out about Vermont’s ski resorts, Williams and Sarah Wojcik of Ski Vermont want the public to know that alpine realms aren’t just for apres players—they’re also exhibition halls for emerging and established Vermont artists.

Cattle rustling in New Haven

By Lou Varricchio

NEW HAVEN — Addison County, Vt., has a storied history of cattle rustling, at least when compared to neighboring counties.

Currently, Vermont State Police are investigating the theft of a steer from a cattle farm located on River Road in the Town of New Haven Nov. 28.

Farmer Scott Watson of New Haven reported that he is unsure who would have stolen one of his bald-face, “Black Baldy” steers, however, he told police that the animal was tame and that anyone with “a handful of feed” could have lured it away from its corral.

In 1816, the Addison and Bridport Thief Detecting Society, a vigilante group still in existence 200 years later, was formed when farmer Allen Smith of Addison was harassed by wouldbe cattle rustlers while driving his cattle overland to Boston.

Today, the crime of livestock rustling continues albeit sporadically, however, it is no longer the sensationalized crime that it was during the 19th century.

If you have information regarding the Nov. 28 incident at the Watson farm in New Haven, please contact the Vermont State Police at 802-388-4919.

Information can also be submitted online at www.vtips.info or text “CRIMES” (274637) to Keyword: VTIPS.

Special education programs in ACSU under review From News & Staff Reports news@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — Ten supervisory unions and supervisory districts throughout Vermont were selected for a Special Education Services Review, the Vermont Agency of Education announced today.

The project will review current practices for the delivery of special education services against research-based best practices under a contract with the District Management Council (DMC).

This project is authorized in Sec. 4 of Act 148 (2016).

The law requires that the agency select at least three super-

visory unions or supervisory districts with an average daily membership (ADM) of 1,500 students or more, and at least three unified union school districts formed pursuant to Act 46 of 2015.

“The purpose of this project is to build local capacity to better manage systems and deliver services,” said Rebecca Holcombe, Secretary of Education. “All our systems strive to get the best value for students out of every dollar. DMC’s mission is to help systems figure out how to provide high quality care for students in the most cost-effective way possible. What we learn from these systems, we hope to share with others that were not able to participate.”

Supervisory unions and supervisory districts with an ADM of 1,500 or more selected for the project are the Milton Super-

visory District, the Hartford Supervisory District, Franklin Northeast Supervisory Union and Bennington-Rutland Supervisory Union.

Unified Unions under Act 46 selected for the reviews are Addison Central Supervisory Union, Essex Town abd Essex Junction, Washington West Supervisory Union and Orange Southwest Supervisory Union.

Orleans Central and Windham Central Supervisory Union were also selected to participate in the project.

The agency’s contract with DMC provides that the cost for reviewing a supervisory union or supervisory district will be $50,000, with the State paying $45,000 and the supervisory union being responsible for the remaining $5,000. Grant funding is available.

CVUHS on cutting edge of E.V. automotive tech

By Gail Callahan

HINESBURG — Champlain Valley Union High School is a leader of electronic technology education in Vermont. To demonstrate the point, CVU students and a teacher worked on installing an electricvehicle charging station on the Hinesburg campus.

After students enrolled in a CVU Money Energy Power class came up with the project idea, they worked with science teacher Glenn Fay and Green Mountain Power on the plan. The Vermontbased utility has installed power stations in 31 locations including downtown Middlebury most recently.

The E.V. charging station at CVU serves all electric vehicles including the Chevrolet Volt and Bolt, Toyota Prius plug-in, and Nissan Leaf.

Tesla owners need a special adapter with a dual port level 2-sta-

tion that provides up to 24 miles of battery charge per hour.

CVU students Burke Spillane, Colin Osbahr, Jack Reynolds and Jarrett Slote were team members on the E.V. project.

For Spillane, the project afforded him a front seat on a project that has a long-lasting impact.

“It was so exciting to work on this project and see it come to fruition,” Spillane told the Eagle. “This shows we can make a difference, help the environment and build a better world.”

The project kicked off this year and the power station is now in use. CVU is the first school to partner with Green Mountain Power on an E.V. project.

“CVU students are so aware of the importance of changing how we use energy,” according to teacher Glenn Fay. “And it is impressive how they take action to change the world. We appreciate GMP partnering to make this a reality.”

State local issues and the new year ,

From the editor

I

n 2014, we helped shed light on a story about a married couple who bought a rural house in New Haven because it stood within the locally zoned Agriculture District, only to discover that the state’s aggressive (and costly) alternative energy development policy essentially redefined “agriculture” to include so-called solar farms—in reality, not “farms” at all, but commercial power stations not permitted under local zoning law.

Regarding other local stories like the one noted above, this newspaper will strive to monitor them in the coming new year. But we need your help.

1. Second Amendment challenges: What will the 2017 legislative session, starting Jan. 4, offer in the way of either reinforcing or eroding Second Amendment rights in the state? The Democrat majority continues in the state house. Will there be more background checks or bans, as threatened in the previous session?

2. Health care reform: The administration of Vermont Gov.-elect Phil Scott (R) will face a $50–$70 million budget shortfall right off the bat in January. Government mandated health care costs contribute a massive amount to this deficit. As suggested by the Ethan Allen Institute, will Mr. Scott and the Republicans consider eliminating the Green Mountain Care Board as one quick way to show an effort of reducing costs? In 2016, outgoing Gov. Shumlin appointed Robin Lunge, state director of health care reform, to a six-year term. Lunge is paid $96,000 annually—by taxpayers—for what amounts to a part-time job. Nice gig, eh? Are such highly paid, part-time, professionals really necessary?

3. Carbon tax: Has the Vermont carbon tax idea of 2016 gone away in 2017? We think not. During the 2016 campaign, then candidate Phil Scott said he’d veto the tax if it ever crossed his desk. Could a Scott veto be sustained?

4. Schools: What is the future of Acts 46 and 150? What is the fallout of Act 46’s incentives and penalties used to consolidate smaller school districts into monolithic centralized unified school districts? What will be going on regarding parental school choice with more of these mega districts being created?

5. Energy: What is the future of local residents say over aggressive wind and solar siting? We wonder if a majority of Vermonters really support the state’s costly, intrusive energy policy?

6. Tax capacity and budget growth: Can state government keep spending on new programs? Can we afford what we have? Where will the money come from?

With that said, the approaching new year of 2017 promises to be yet another roller-coaster ride when it comes to politics-as-usual under the golden dome in Montpelier.

Take a breath

ooner or later we all need a helping hand and no local organization does more to assist our local non-profit support agencies than the United Way. Over the years I’ve had the great fortune to be a part of United Way Campaign. I’ve seen first hand what the United Way is all about and how valuable they are to our region.

Obviously, charitable giving means Dan Alexander different things to different people.

Thoughts from Who among us wouldn’t give when Behind the Pressline we know the exact circumstances of the need? Who wouldn’t part with a few bucks a week if it meant a Life Flight Helicopter would come to the rescue of their family member or even themselves?

Sadly many never recognize the value of those few dollars given each week. How a couple of bucks can impact the lives of so many or just when those same few dollars plus many more may come to their own aid. Just like the devastating damage from a storm, fire or accident we just never know what’s around the corner for any of us and there is nothing any of us wouldn’t do when we clearly see the immediate need.

Unfortunately, the need while present, isn’t always right there on the surface clearly visible to all. It’s buried in everyday life and, while part of life, it is just as pressing as those who suffer at the hand of misfortune.

That’s where the Partner Agencies of the United Way step forward everyday, dealing with both large and visible events as well as those private, behind the scenes family issues that affect so many across our region.

Many of these volunteer agencies would cease to exist without voluntary contributions either through the United Way Campaign or outright donations by a generous public.

Through the United Way Campaign 100% of your contribution can be channeled directly to a specific agency or agencies of your choice.

Only through the United Way Campaign will your employer allow you to have a small payroll deduction taken each week that adds up to a significant dollar amount by year’s end.

Only through the United Way Campaign can you join with other generous givers from around our community to create a major giving source to support these hard working non-profit agencies, so they can focus their energies on serving those in need and not on raising funds.

On behalf of all the agencies and the many volunteers who generously donate their time, and most importantly all those served by these wonderful agencies, thank you for your consideration in supporting this most worthwhile community campaign and for whatever you can contribute.

Men without work Guest Viewpoint

By John McClaughry Ethan Allen Institute

A lot of serious long-term national issues simply weren’t addressed in the recent national election. That’s not surprising. Issues like the alarming growth of the national debt, the rising consequences of opiate addiction, and unprecedented changes in demography don’t fit easkily into political campaigns and their 30 second ads.

One such neglected issue is what the President’s Council on Economic Advisers , in a June report, calls “The Long Term Decline in Prime-Age [25-54] Male Labor Force Participation”. American Enterprise Institute demographer Nicholas Eberstadt offers a more concise title in his new book “Men Without Work”.

The CEA report states that “Labor force participation among prime-age men peaked in 1954 and has fallen steadily since the mid-1960s, a trend that has been sharper in the United States than in other advanced economies…

The fall in participation for prime-age men has largely been concentrated among those with a high school degree or less, and participation rates have declined more steeply for black men.”

This analysis leaves out men who are unemployed but looking for work, measured by the familiar unemployment rate of around five percent. It also doesn’t count men in prison, most college and graduate school students (under 25), and early retirees (over 54). Eberstadt, reviewing the same data, writes “Men [aged 25-54] not in the labor force - neither working nor looking for work – are by far the fastest growing component of our prime male civilian noninstitutional population.” Only one in seven of these seven million men say they are out of the labor pool because of lack of jobs. Washington Post economic columnist Robert Samuelson adds that in 1965 only one in 29 men in this age group were labor force dropouts. Today it’s one in eight.

The collapse of work in America”, says Eberhardt, “means slower economic growth; growing economic inequality; greater government dependence, budget deficits and public debt; more fragile families; constrained social mobility; and a less robust civil society.”

Why have these men dropped out? Some have fled to the disability rolls, which often accept applicants claiming “back pain” and “anxiety”. Some are benefiting from welfare programs that they would lose with rising incomes.

Some have given up looking for jobs because they are exconvicts, and thus hard to hire. Some live in the shadow economy of odd jobs, petty crime, drugs and gambling.

Some are just hanging out, sponging, and playing video games.

A large fraction – the numbers are debatable – have given up because their low skill jobs have been automated , or outsourced to Mexico and Asia, or filled by immigrants willing to work for less. They aren’t productive enough to earn even the ever-rising minimum wage, and they are often too rooted in their communities, and proud, to pick up and start over at lower wages in a more promising economic location.

Traditional government policies to address this problem typically involve education, retraining and job search programs, an effort sometimes successful, but all too often more beneficial to the instructors than the students. Another approach is to have taxpayers pay the unemployed with dependents to take jobs (Earned Income Tax Credit).

Not surprisingly, the politically-motivated Obama CEA sees increasing the minimum wage and more unionization as solutions. Few economists would agree.

There is clearly no magic button that government can push to reverse this workforce dropout trend. But there are hopeful examples, built upon regenerating in these men a belief that their efforts to rise economically can succeed with discipline, work, and support. Quite a few non-governmental examples are described in Clearing Obstacles to Work, recently published by The Philanthropy Roundtable.

Other examples include America Works; Teen Challenge; the French ACCRE (Aide aux Chômeur Créateurs ou Repreneurs d’Entreprise –“assistance for putting the idle back to work in a business”); the private sector-led JOBS Plus program in Oregon, and the Perpetual Education Fund, a self-reliance, education and support program operated by the Mormon Church worldwide.

This distressing trend is not likely to be reversed by conflicting government policies and bureaucratic programs.

The key is strengthening a generous and caring civil society that provides character, skills, support, and hope for prime-aged men who have given up working.

Not all will respond. Those who won’t will remain an insoluble problem, and will likely come to an unhappy end.

DOWNHILL CHAMP — Olympic gold-winner skier Mikaela Shiffrin, 21, won the weekend’s big World Cup slalom with over 16,000 fans in attendance at Killington Mountain near Rutland. The skier started her second slalom run with a lead of only 0.65 of a second. Shiffrin attended Vermont’s Burke Mountain Academy, a famous ski school in the Green Mountains. “The fact that my 95-year-old grandmother, Nana, was able to watch this race was amazing,” Shiffrin told reporters at a news conference after the race.

Dining cards help local animal shelter Homeward Bound: Addison County Humane Society

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — Now there’s an ideal way locally to combine a passion for dining with a passion for our homeless furry and feathered friends.

Homeward Bound, the Addison County Humane Society’s animal shelter, is relying on sales of 2017 Homeward Bound Dining Cards to raise money to support its mission to safeguard, rescue, shelter, heal, adopt and advocate for animals in need.

Hannah Manley, Homeward Bound’s development director, told the Eagle that the Dining Card program is one of the shelter’s key fundraising efforts of the year.

“The Dining Cards cost next to nothing to produce and we benefit from 100 percent of the sales thanks to our generous network of participating restaurants who believe in what we do,” Manley said. “The cards are a win all

the way around. It allows the community to stretch their entertainment budget and support local businesses, the restaurants are likely to see some new faces, and Homeward Bound raises funds that enable us to continue caring for the animals in Addison County (and beyond) that need us most.”

Manley said that individu-

als may purchase a lunch card for $50 or a dinner card for $100.

The lunch card includes 15 restaurants and the dinner card boasts 16.

In addition, the card holder purchases an entrée and receives another entrée of equal or lesser value free. The card may be used once at each restaurant during the year.

Dining Cards are available online through Homeward Bound’s website (http://shop. homewardboundanimals. org), at the shelter at 236 Boardman St. (neighboring Desabrais & Son Glass), and also at the “Juice Amour” juice bar located in the shopping strip at 1396 Route 7 South in Middlebury just north of Paris Farmers Union.

Letters to the Editor

Looking under the paint To the editor: Driving home on the Northway, the other day, I was getting tired of hearing ads promoting the use of more plastic money; songs supposedly representative of a season, but more so a performer’s take on updating a past favorite; radio personalities editorializing about their take on election results and what the future will bring.

I zoned out for a while, thinking of seasons past.

I remembered someone saying, “It’s too bad summer is gone” and replying that, “It does not have to be.”

If summer only means certain months of the year— flowers in the garden, cutting grass, more sunshine, then, of course, it vanishes with time. But if you draw a deeper meaning from the experience, such as a more positive outlook, then you can go back to summer whenever you choose.

Our present season can be viewed in a similar manner in that it has a time slot; it has its weather pattern, it has its green pyramidal trees with ornaments and tinsel, it has its presents, and, it has its ever present bigger and better sales.

And then you will hear on Dec. 26 that Christmas is over and we should move on to Valentines’ Day. Unless, of course, you decide not to let it be over.

Christmas time has become like the old wood found in the 1800s farmhouse that the new owner decides to paint so that it can look different and be more up-to-date. The old wood is still there, but it takes some effort to find it.

The old wood represents remembering a time when it was Christmas, not a holiday season, a time when Christmas trees were found in schools, a time when people went out of their way to help the less fortunate than themselves, a time when people thought about others and did not turn inward to themselves, a time when presents were representative of giving and sharing (and not of another’s expectations), and a time when churches rang out with song and positive words.

Christmas stops only if you believe that it ends when you open your last present. It need not be over if you decide to scrape away the painted façade and incorporate the Season’s reality into your life throughout the year.

Sailor has lived with children and did great with them, but would become overprotective of them if their friends visited.

If you are age 55 or over, you can adopt Fernando with a donation in lieu of his adoption fee.

Funding for Vt. women’s groups available MIDDLEBURY — Funding is now available from the Vermont Women’s Fund at the Vermont Community Foundation for new or existing projects, programs, and organizations that serve Vermont women and girls ages 12-25.

The Vermont Women’s Fund was established in 1994 as an enduring resource to support women and girls in the state.

Since its founding, the Women’s Fund has granted more than $2 million to organizations and projects in support of its mission.

The Fund strives to ensure that resources and opportunities are available for women and girls to understand the value of self-reliance and to learn what it takes to achieve economic security. The Vermont Women’s Fund wants to fund work that catches young women and girls at a moment of transition and lights a spark—one that expands their horizons and amplifies the possibility of self-actualization and well-being.

In 2017, the Vermont Women’s Fund will consider proposals to support programs that build job readiness skills and provide opportunities to learn and practice traditional and non-traditional education and vocation, while building self-confidence and developing leadership skills. Examples of program activities supported in the past include: experiential learning opportunities, career mentoring, financial literacy and credit education, internships, and leadership development. The Fund especially welcomes proposals that address the issues raised in reports by the Change the Story initiative, concerning how to improve the economic wellbeing of Vermont women and girls.

Nonprofits may apply online at any time for up to $10,000; applications will be accepted through Jan. 26, at 5 p.m. For details, see vermontcf.org/VWFGrantmaking.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Take a moment

T

he countdown to Christmas is on, with just over two weeks to go.

Though the holidays can be fun, magical, enchanting — they can also be incredibly stressful.

It’s important, during this chaotic time of giving, to take a breath and take a moment for yourself.

Here are a few ideas on how to do just that: Aidan O’Brien and friends will perform at the Gamut Room in Middlebury on Dec. 9 at 8:30 p.m. Milo Stanley will open. Organizers say that O’Brien and his band will “literally melt your face.” For more information, visit facebook.com/middleburywomp.

“Middlebury Does Christmas” will land at the Town Hall Theater on Dec. 16-17. Directed

by Douglas Anderson and Chuck Miller, “Middlebury Does Christmas” will bring musicians Doug and Debby Anderson, Bill and Mindy Bickford, Justin Bouvier, Matt Bouvier, Vanessa Ament, Leigh Guptill, Sarah Stone, Kerianne Severy, Hannah Cormier and Ashley Fink together for a jam-packed Christmas show.

A Harry Potter themed holiday ball will be held at Barnes and Noble in S. Burlington on Dec. 9. Organizers encourage all attendees to come in costume or holiday-themed attire. On tap for the event is dancing — of course — with crafting classes for ball guests to make Harry Potter themed ornaments. The event is scheduled for 7-9 p.m. For more information, visit facebook.com/bnsouthburlington or call 864-8001.

Singer-songwriter Sarah Blacker will play at Brandon Music on Dec. 10 at 7:30 p.m. The musician will co-headline with Aaron Katz, a percussionist with Percy Hill.

For more information, visit town halltheater.org.

On Dec. 9, the Compass Music and Arts Center in Brandon will open a new exhibit titled “Peace on Earth.” The exhibit arose from a call to artists to express their ideas ad ideals surrounding the theme of peace, organizers say. “The resulting compilation is a plea for global peace at a time when there is so much anger and division.” An opening reception is slated for Dec. 9 at 3 p.m. The exhibit will run until Jan. 7, 2017. For more information, visit facebook. com/CMACVT. Northern Daughters Gallery in Vergennes will open a new exhibit featuring works by Anne Cady, Bonnie Baird, Cameron Schmitz and more from Dec. 1 through Jan. 15.

Both woman point out that—yes—the Green Mountains and companion ranges are known for historic “firsts”: The first ski lift, the first ski academy, the first snowboarding. and the first Nordic ski center, and home to several winter Olympians, but did you know that Vermont ranks third in the nation for artists as a percentage of the workforce?

“The tremendous presence of the arts and artists is undeniably part of what has sculpted Vermont’s creative culture,” Kira Bacon of the Vermont Arts Council said. “The arts should, and arguably do, have the same allure as the state’s beloved landscape, its beer and food scene, and its skiing.”

Vermont’s Mountains of Art, as the women call it, is worth ewxploring—and you can start closeby.

It’s all true since, surrounding Rikert and the Middlebury Snow Bowl, is a winter wonderland with lots of arts offerings.

Artist and ski coach Jean Cherouny is familair to Addison County art enthusiasts, experienced skiers, even downhill bonkers.

Cherouny is known for both her downhill teaching skills and her printmaking and painting workshops held at the Middlebury Studio School. You can also see more of her art, and others, at Middlebury College’s Maheny Center.

“Also along Route 4—known as the Cross Vermont Byway—there’s the Carving Studio, Sculpture Center, and the Quechee Club, a private ski resort that hosts an artisan fair with more than 20 Vermont artists in late November; there’s also a new art exhibit monthly through the ski season,” Williams said.

Meanwhile, “Ski now, experience art” has become the new “Ski now, work later” slogan for central Vermont.

Continued from page 1 about two weeks each trip.

“We have neighbors who are our friends and we love to chat with. I get my car serviced at a garage in town. We have loyalty to this community,” he said.

However, property taxes are forcing the Cunninghams to sell their home, a fact he called “heartbreaking.”

“The taxes have just become so burdensome, almost doubling every seven years,” he said. “It’s become unsustainable.”

According to Cunningham, renovations to the local school made the education tax unbearable. Out-of-state residents pay a rate of $1.50 for every $100 of their assessed property value. That left him paying about $4,000 annually, a sum that, when added to additional monthly taxes, became unaffordable.

“Where we’re from,” he said, referring to Enosburg Falls, “our neighbors are struggling. You’ve got to wonder what it will be like for them a few years down the road.”

Second-home owners provide outside cash to Vermont communities, which often struggle as closed economies where local money circulates but no new funds are brought in. When they come to visit, they often spend cash freely.

www.addision-eagle.com

Cunningham said chasing away homeowners is bad for Vermont, and he believes the government’s attitude of expansion is to blame.

“I’ve seen it in Canada. Bureaucrats feed on themselves, and poor schmucks are forced to pay for it.”

Tax rates are generally higher in Canada than in the United States due to the cost of universal health care. Despite higher rates, Canada’s taxable population is rising, which Cunningham said should lead to a lower burden for taxpayers, but doesn’t because the government keeps growing and costing more money. He warned that the same growth in spending is hurting the Green Mountain State.

“It’s sneaking up on Vermont. I hope the sale of my home can be a warning for others.”

The population of Enosburg Falls has declined steadily since the late ’90s, creating a larger burden on remaining residents. The area is rural, with only a few transportation companies to provide jobs in the community. To find work, many residents commute to Burlington.

Cunningham’s home went on the market in October, and he’s had only one showing. This, he says, confirms that the town isn’t attractive to new residents.

“Don’t lie down and take it,” he warns. “We see a lot of this up here [in Canada]. Something simple turns into gigantic bureaucracy. You shouldn’t have to pay for that.”

Ferrisburgh assault FERRISBURGH — On Nov. 26, members of the Vermont State Police responded to a family disturbance at a residence in Ferrisburgh. Upon arrival Troopers were met by the complainant, a nearby neighbor. The neighbor advised police that he saw a female neighbor with red marks on her face and chest. It was determined through investigation that Brandon Bothwell, 27, of Ferrisburgh, and the woman had an argument that turned physical and the woman sustained minor injuries. The victim told troopers that Bothwell slapped her face and punched her in the chest, knocking her over onto the porch of the house and pulling her by her feet back into the house as she tried to escape. Bothwell fled the scene and turned himself into the Shelburne P.D. the following day, on Nov. 27. Bothwell was placed under arrest and charged with Domestic Assault, a violation of Title 13 VSA 1042. Bail was set at $2,500.

Continued from page 1 that jobs are unavailable.

According to the REDC, unemployment is at about 3.5 percent in the region, a level local economists consider to be full employment yet perceptions vary.

REDC Executive Director Lyle Jepson said that lack of qualified employees is the number one challenge voiced by local business owners and managers.

But nagging questions and perceptions persist.

Are Rutland-area salaries and lifestyles competitive when compared to bigger markets which lure young, educated and skilled people as well as experienced professionals?

What is the sustainability of job growth locally? And will the new governor help reverse perceptions that Vermont’s tax and regulation policies have been unfriendly to business?

According to Rutland Region Chamber of Commerce and Rutland Economic Development Corporation officials, the marketing campaign as envisioned is going to be critical to the economic health of the state and the local region.

“For our economy to prosper and employers to grow, it is imperative that we

www.addison-eagle.com

draw new people to the region, and destroy the myth that there are no jobs,” according to Rutland Economic Development Corporation Executive Director Lyle Jepson. “We offer an amazing quality of life, low-cost housing and world-class outdoor recreation opportunities, and we need to make that known to a broad audience, both locally and regionally.”

“We envision a fundamental shift in focus, in how we talk about the region and how we spend limited marketing dollars,” RRCC’s Mary Cohen said. “The plan includes a new primary audience, new messaging and a targeted, well-financed campaign, including a central focus on digital marketing, to attract an attractive, mobile audience—young professionals living in the northeast.”

Funding has come from the City of Rutland, Carpenter and Costin, Casella, Foley Family of Businesses, Green Mountain Power, Heritage Family Credit Union, the Mountain Times, the Rutland Regional Medical Center, Castleton University, VELCO and Russell Construction Services.

Creative agencies have about three weeks to submit questions about the RFP, with proposals due Dec. 21. Anyone with questions may e-mail Mary Cohen at mcohen@ rutlandvermont.com or call 802-773-2747.
