Addison County agencies join lawsuit

HOPE and a handshake

From Staff & News Reports THE EAGLE

MIDDLEBURY | Three Vermont community mental health agencies announced today that they are joining forces in a suit against the opioid drug industry.

The opioid crisis has devastated our communities. In over 50 years of providing services, we have not seen the likes of this crisis before, which is impacting not only the individuals who become addicted to these powerful drugs, but entire families. The manufactures and distributors of opioids have misled health care professionals and the public regarding the addictive nature of these drugs.

We feel it’s time for these companies to be held accountable.”

—George Karabakakis, Ph.D. CEO of Health Care and Rehabilitation Services

The three state-designated non-profit agencies include the Counseling Service of Addison County, Inc. (CSAC) in Middlebury, Health Care and Rehabilitation Services (HCRS) in southeastern Vermont, and Northeast Kingdom Human Services (NKHS) in northeastern Vermont.

Each of the community mental health agencies have incurred significant losses due to the impact of the opioid crisis.

Local GOP make contribution

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | In keeping with this season of giving, and setting aside partisan passions, Addison County Republicans gathered over 100 non-perishable items to donate to non-profit HOPE, Helping Overcome Poverty’s Effects.

The charity, which operates a popular thrift shop on Boardman Street in Middlebury, assists low-income individuals

and families in a variety of ways.

The organization provides nutritious food from its food shelf, fresh local produce, cooking classes and food preparation tips, financial assistance with housing and utilities, assistance to homeless people including camping gear, emergency hotel rooms, laundry vouchers, referrals and service coordination, budget counseling for people who want to better manage their limited incomes, help with urgent medical and dental needs, and job-related assistance including tools, uniforms, tests and other items needed to get or keep paid employment.

On Dec. 13, Addison County Republican’s new chairman Tom Hughes, a long-time resident of Middlebury, presented the charitable

donation to HOPE’s Director of Development Heather Potter.

Accord ing to Hughes, t he loca l Republicans chose HOPE because “it is the busiest food shelf in the county.”

Potter noted that HOPE’s mission is to improve the lives of low income people in Addison County by working with individuals to identify and secure the resources needed to meet their basic needs.

Since 1965, HOPE, originally formed as the Addison County Community Action Group (ACCAG), has been providing a wide variety of programs to low income people. The organization’s offerings are dynamic and flexible, responding to meet the evolving needs of the population of Addison County. ■

Bristol, Monkton schools receive safety grant funds

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

Here comes Santa Claus...

Main Street in Middlebury became Santa Claus Lane last week. The jolly old elf made his Addison County debut for Christmas 2019 with a trip on a Middlebury Fire Department engine-ladder truck. The happening was part of a series of holiday related events downtown including a stroll and lots of shopping at local retailers. Community liaison Jim Gish took this photo for his weekly public report on the ongoing Middlebury Bridge & Rail Project.

BRISTOL | Vermont Gov. Phil Scott announced that public, private and independent schools across Vermont have been awarded taxpayer funds to make safety improvements to school infrastructure.

The $1.4 million school safety grant program will allow the schools to complete a total of 150 projects to better secure facilities.

Among the recipients, are two Addison County schools which include one special education program at one of the schools awarded: Monkton Central School (MCS), $24,750; Mt. Abraham High Union School (MAUHS) ,$ 24,750; Mt. Abraham Special Education, $14,250.

Scott and the legislature approved the taxpayer funds during the 2019 legislative session to allow eligible schools to plan for, and install, equipment to enhance building security.

Priority was given to exterior and interior door locking mechanisms and public address systems at MCS and MAUHS to ensure all those in and outside school buildings can be informed of an emergency.

Other improvements funded through these grants include security cameras, window shading and other projects.

Act 42, Bill H. 542 allowed for schools to apply for grants to improve the safety of school infrastructure through capitaleligible equipment.

Lights of Love honors pets we’ve loved Homeward Bound of Addison County

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Homeward Bound’s Lights of Love event has touched the hearts of many area resident. This is not your average holiday memory tree. Homeward Bound’s tree-oflight honors the pets we have loved, and the ones that are still here to brighten our days.

This year’s Lights of Love will be held on Thursday, Dec. 19, from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m., and will be followed by a special

holiday open house at the animal shelter located at 236 Boardman St. in Middlebury.

One way is to make a donation in their name to Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS). For animal lovers, a terrific holiday or birthday gift might be a donation to RCHS. A donation is a great way to remember a favorite pet or family member who meant a lot to you. Joyous occasions, such as birthdays and weddings, are other reasons to donate. When someone asks you what you want as a gift, suggest a donation to RCHS. Do you have someone on your list who has everything? A donation to RCHS might be great. So next time you’re thinking about the “purrfect” gift for a loved one, please remember the homeless animals at RCHS. Your donation can really make a difference.

CHIPS | Adult American rabbit grey and white

Hi, I am Sedona. I am pretty quiet, I kind of like to lay around and observe.

I like plush blankets, and calm environments. I did have a litter of kittens and was brought here, luckily, they found me a nice foster and I was lucky enough to have my kittens and then all of my children were adopted out. But now I’d also like the same, and hopefully to have the calm luxury of having a place to call home.

I get along with other cats and now I am spayed so my days of having children are over. Maybe you’d let me join your family instead? Come visit me sometime.

Hansen to run for E.V. INCENTIVES ABOUND LOCALLY lieutenant governor MIDDLEBURY | Vermont’s electric utilities are letting customers across Vermont know they can now save up to $15,000 when they buy or lease new all electric vehicles (E.V.s) and plug-in hybrid vehicles (PHEVs) thanks to new Vermont state rebates that can be combined with utility rebates and federal tax credits.

Among the biggest barriers to making the switch to cleaner driving is the upfront cost of a new vehicle, and new state rebates of up to $5,000 aim to help middle- and low-income Vermonters switch to cleaner driving with electric vehicles.

According to Drive Electric Vermont, the cost of ownership for E.V.s is less than gas-fueled vehicles because they require less maintenance and, on average, charging an E..V is equivalent to paying approximately $1.50 or less per gallon for gas. The exact amount of savings customers receive depends on their income, the type of E.V. they buy or lease, and rebates their utility offers.

Green Mountain Power (GMP) offers customers up to $2,500 in rebates, depending on income, on new all electric vehicles, $1,000 for plug-in hybrids and $750 for used E.V.s and PHEVs. GMP will also give customers a free Level-2 home car charger ($600 value) when they buy or lease a new E.V. “E.V. driving is an affordable and highly effective

way to address the climate crisis – and the combined rebates make the savings even greater. Since transportation produces most of Vermont’s emissions, it is great that team Vermont is working together to help Vermonters switch to greener driving,” said Mari McClure, GMP’s incoming president and CEO. Vermont Electric Cooperative (VEC) offers bill credit incentives for new or used plug-in vehicles, whether purchased or leased. VEC also offers a $250 bill credit for the purchase of a qualifying Level II vehicle charger. “VEC is pleased to partner with the State of Vermont and the other utilities in offering electric vehicle incentives. Using cleaner fuels for transportation is an essential part of a greener transportation future, and will help us reduce climate impacts,” said Rebecca Towne, VEC’s chief executive officer. “We hope Vermonters take advantage of all the incentives available to them for vehicles and charging systems and that the programs are tremendously successful in driving electric vehicle adoption.”

When more Vermonters drive electric, key benefits flow 100 percent back to all customers, helping to drive down costs to maintain the grid, according to GMP’s Kristin Kelly. Customers can combine rebates to build bigger savings, and they can work with participating dealerships to get the rebates upfront, applied as a discount on the price of an E.V. ■

Republican medical expert was born in India

By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

MIDDLEBURY | Health policy expert and entrepreneur Meg Hansen announced her campaign for the Office of Vermont Lieutenant Governor last week.

Early supporters have helped raise $35,000 so far, signaling a strong vote of confidence, according to Hansen.

Hansen was born in India and has lived in Oman, the United Arab Emirates, Italy, the United Kingdom and Norway.

She and her husband Rick have called Vermont home for the last decade.

Hansen is trained in medicine, with a MBBS degree, the British undergraduate equivalent of a Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) in the USA. She also graduated with an M.A. degree from Dartmouth College and owns a small communications firm.

“In my extensive travels across the state, I have had numerous conversations with Vermonters who want to own homes, thriving businesses, and farms but cannot. I have heard from so many who want to be able to raise children, build careers, and grow old here but cannot,” Hansen said.

Hansen added, “In our state’s political discourse, we talk a lot about affordability but we never talk about prosperity. Why is it becoming harder for more and more of us to realize these simple, universal dreams? Vermonters across socioeconomic lines deserve to be empowered with the freedom to build prosperous and meaningful lives.

Economic growth creates prosperity for all. To become pro-economic growth, Vermont needs to become a pro-freedom state again. I believe this is the moral path for Vermont and that is why I am running for the office of Lt. Governor.”

BROWN’S TREE & CRANE SERVICE

Meg Hansen: “How do we empower younger generations and new farmers to solve the labor challenges faced by Vermont’s dairy farms?”

File photo When still in her early 20s, Hansen served in an impoverished village in southwest India where she taught English to second-grade students.

Hansen stressed that she is running an inclusive campaign.

“The tendency of some media and cultural influencers to stereotype Republicans in self-serving ways divides and hurts the people of Vermont. Our campaign defies lazy labels...,” Hansen said.

Hansen noted that her campaign is a coalition of Vermonters from “small towns, rural communities, farmers, truck drivers, middle class and blue-collar moms and dads, retirees, and millennials”.

Regarding Addison County issues, Hansen told the Eagle that young people are the key to the future of local agriculture.

“I am committed to advancing collaborative, grassroots solutions that address the unique needs and concerns of our local communities,” she said. “How do we empower younger generations and new farmers to solve the labor challenges faced by Vermont’s dairy farms?

As lieutenant governor, my number one priority will be to represent and advocate for Vermonters whose interests have been unfairly overlooked for too long.” ■

Keystone Kops alive and well in Vermont’s Queen City From the editor The Twitter scandle involving Burlington Police Chief Brandon del Poso is at an end, but it seems there’s a lack of maturity on the part of Burlington’s other so-called fi nest. As you may know, the chief was exposed for trolling a critic in cyberspace, a very unprofessional way for a respected law enforcement officer to behave.

But soon after last week’s news conference at the the Burlington Police Department, Deputy Chief Jan Wright shared with Burlington Mayor Weinberger that she had occasionally operated a Facebook account, under the sexy name “Lori Spicer”,

through which she made comments about and engaged citizens in discussion of Police Department policy and practice. That’s a big no-no.

In response to the revelation by Deputy Chief Spicer, er, Wright, Mayor Weinberger released the following statement: “While Deputy Chief Wright’s situation may be very different than Chief del Pozo’s, given the circumstances the department is facing, I found the failure to raise this issue with me in the lead-up to today to constitute a lapse in judgement.

“As an initial matter I have taken the following steps: I have now named Deputy Chief Jon Murad as acting chief. Murad has confirmed explicitly to the City Attorney Eileen Blackwood and H.R. Director Deanna Paluba that

I’ve had the opportunity to speak with a number of readers since launching our Support Community Journalism program. While the vast majority have been very gracious, we’ve had a few nasty grams along the way, too.

I thought I would spend a little time this week explaining in more detail what we are trying to accomplish.

One of the most common questions I’ve heard is, why not just convert back to a paid newspaper?

Having been in this business for nearly forty years, I’ve seen far too many newspapers fail to adapt. Paid newspapers refuse to go free because they can’t replace the revenue lost from subscriptions so they kept raising the subscription price while cutting staff and coverage. As they do so, they are losing advertisers because the paper no longer reaches as many homes. The result is a downward spiral until they finally throw in the towel and shut down. On the other side of the

further amendments to a draft social media policy the city is operating under to directly address the issues of anonymous social media posting by senior officials.

According to the mayor, “I will be seeking to update and formally adopt the city’s social media policy to better reflect our expectations for city employees’ and city leaders’ interactions with citizens on social media and online.”

With that said, solid ethical standards and systemic improvements should be expected in the Burlington P.D. Everyone, and not just Burlington residents, deserve a professional police force they can trust.

“Deputy Chief Wright’s disclosure raises the possibility that problematic social media use is far more widespread within the department than previously understood. I am troubled that more than one senior department official engaged in such activity. I will be asking an outside investigator to conduct a thorough review of the Burlington Police Department’s social media activity and practices.”

spectrum, we’ve seen free papers try to convert to paid. Sadly, in nearly every effort, they failed to generate enough subscriptions to be viable.

Our planned approach is to accomplish more than just survive. We see the mission ahead that is more far-reaching than just our company’s survival.

In their heydays, before capital investment firms began buying up the vast majority of newspapers, the local newspaper was a staple in nearly every home. It was the critical fiber that connected the community with vital information about the schools, local government, community events, sports, tragedies, deaths, births, as well as business and retail shopping information. It was affordable, trusted, dependable, and locally owned.

Today, we have many forms of communication, but not one can claim they have the same market reach as The Sun. There are too many choices, and with those choices comes fragmentation.

By maintaining our saturated delivery system and reaching every home, we not only provide an important service to local advertisers but, more importantly, we provide the resource information that keeps local communities vibrant and thriving.

Our hope is to obtain a voluntary subscription

from 7% to 10% of the homes we send The Sun to every week. Now imagine this vast area where we currently send out 71,000 papers being reduced to less than 5,000 homes that can afford to send in a voluntary contribution?

No single media vehicle could duplicate the reach of The Sun with balanced news and information coverage. Local businesses and governments would struggle to reach the population with far more splintered choices than budgets could accommodate.

Building the type of printing system we’ve developed over 70 years and finding the staff to operate it would also be a challenge should someone choose to pick up where we left off.

We understand not everyone is able to contribute, and not everyone appreciates what we do, but it’s clear that those who can assist, recognize the wisdom in maintaining this common local thread that knits the community and our region together.

We believe we are on the right track. We hope you agree and will consider a contribution by typing request.suncommunitynews.com/ into your web browser or seeing the ad inside this newspaper. ■ — Dan Alexander is owner and publisher of The Sun Community News and The Vermont Eagle.

Briefs $30,000 for mobile home park study

Guest viewpoint

Impeaching the president

By U.S. Rep. Peter Welch GUEST COLUMNIST

We, the people, have a common tie that binds us together now as it has since the founding of this country, our shared respect for the Constitution of the United States.

Let us all step back from the maelstrom of the moment to recall that, at our country’s inception 243 years ago, the concept of democratic, self-governing rule was a breathtaking and idealistic aspiration.

When the 13 American colonies boldly rejected the rule of a British monarch, our founders were determined to form a government that would instead rule with the consent of the governed.

Ensuring that this noble experiment endured through the ages was an enormous existential challenge. It was met with the adoption in 1788 of our Constitution.

At its heart are two bedrock principles that have served as touchstones for our country ever since.

First, it established America as a nation

of laws where no person is above the law.

Second, it established the concept of a separation of powers where three co-equal branches of government would check each other, lest power be concentrated in one at the expense of liberty to all.

When President Trump abused the power of his office by soliciting foreign interference in the upcoming election for his personal benefit, he willfully infringed upon the right of citizens to decide who will lead our nation. In doing so, he placed himself above the law and in violation of his oath of office to “faithfully execute the Office of President of the United States.”

And when he denounced, denied and defied the clear authority of Congress to investigate his conduct, he repudiated our constitutional system of checks and balances and further violated his oath to “preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States.”

It is for these reasons, consistent with the constitutional principle that no American is above the law, that I will cast my vote in favor of impeaching President Donald John Trump. ■ — U.S. Representative for Vermont’s at-large congressional district.

Commission reviews site plan MIDDLEBURY | In a Nov. 21 letter to the Vermont Public Utilities Commission, Middlebury Planning Commission Chairwoman Barbara Saunders said that the Commission had reviewed the site plan for Middlebury Resource Recovery Center, LLC’s (MRCC) proposed food-to-waste energy facility on Industrial Avenue and determined that the project complies with the Middlebury’s Zoning Regulations and Town Plan.

The Commission found that the site plan adequately addressed earlier concerns about whether the project would meet the town’s setback requirements.

MRCC expects to file with the PUC soon for a Certificate of Public Good for the project. ■

ITurn Out for Tourism

MONTPELIER | Turn Out for Tourism will be held at the Vermont State House front steps in Montpelier on Wednesday, Jan. 15, in the new year.

It’s time to work together to increase spending on destination marketing efforts. Tourism is the state’s second most lucrative industry after manufacturing, and a significant economic driver. Currently, the state spends $3.1 million annually to encourage people to visit Vermont. That number has declined 6% since 2015. It’s time to reverse the decline.

“This grant program follows up on our previous School Safety Grant in 2018, and our recent push on developing and exercising school emergency plans,” said Education Secretary Dan French. “We’re working hard to make sure Vermont schools have the resources, infrastructure and training they need to keep students and staff safe at school.” ■

Changing of the guard Vermont Gov. Phil Scott announced that public, private and independent schools across Vermont have been awarded taxpayer funds to make safety improvements to school infrastructure. Among the local recipients of the funds are the Monkton Central School and MAUHS. Pictured: Students at Monkton Central School form the school’s initials for an aerial drone’s camera.

Not only have the agencies seen an increase in unreimbursed addiction costs, but they’ve also experienced increased pressures from providing these critical services, according to officials.

Our county is overwhelmed with opioids, and we have seen an increase in people who need treatment. As a result, we are challenged to support clients and families because of the large financial

CEO of HCRS, George Karabakakis, Ph.D., agreed with Cummings.

“The opioid crisis has devastated our communities,” he said. “In over 50 years of providing services, we have not seen the likes of this crisis before, which is impacting not only the individuals who become addicted to these powerful drugs,

According to Tomasz Jankowski, CEO of NHKS, “NKHS is recognizing the opioid epidemic that has surrounded us for a long, long time. This epidemic is not subsiding. We want to ensure that we hold the manufacturers and the distributors accountable for the decisions that they have made that have led to the outburst of this epidemic.” ■
