Dems eye Douglas’ seat Governor plans to retire in 16 months From Eagle Staff & News Reports Smacking its lips like a lion hovering over a pinned wildebeest on the Serengeti, the Democratic Governors Association is moving Vermont into its top tier of targeted 2010 liberal pickup races, as Gov. Jim Douglas, a long-time moderate Republican of Middlebury, announced his retirement last week. Douglas was Addison County’s first governor to serve in Montpelier since the 19th century. Douglas had faced overwhelming Democrat opposition and vetoes, especially on budgetary issues. “Vermont voters have always embraced common sense leaders who are willing to deal with problems like creating jobs, improving transportation, protecting the environment, expanding health care access and strengthening schools,” said the DGA’s Nathan Daschle. “Democrats in the state have long responded to those problems with the sort of the practical solutions and progressive values that Vermonters embrace. We believe that Vermonters are eager for Democratic leadership from the governor ’s office.” “The Democratic candidates running for this open seat have long records of public service to the people of Vermont,” Daschle said. “With such strong leaders in this race, we have an excellent opportunity to win back Vermont’s governorship. As a top-tier pickup opportunity for our organization, we are committed to ensuring that a Democrat wins this race in 2010. Our political program will dedicate the same attention and

From the editor:
‘Feral housing’ comes to Vermont Feral housing is a relatively new term derived from the world of urban decay. Feral houses are abandoned homesteads, overrun by weeds, shrubs, and vines. In some places—such as inner city Detroit where the term was coined—feral houses are often used by the homeless, gang members, illegal drug users, and abandoned pets. Now, the term is being applied to what appears to be an increasing number of abandoned structures right here in postcard Vermont. You can see these neglected homesteads in Burlington and Rutland, even in touristy Woodstock. Elsewhere, quasi-rural places such as Ferrisburgh and Bristol sport a few feral houses and farms of their own. In Vermont, abandoned houses and farms have been blamed on everything from high taxes and unsettled estates to the current recession and Acts 60/68. In the case of the dairy business, the continued decline in family farming has resulted in a number of abandoned farms across the state. Let’s look at an unlikely place for feral housing: Woodstock. This gentrified community, which sports sidewalk dining, art shops, and ersatz sheep grazing on a hillside, has been cited in the news recently as a place where affluence and abandoned buildings manage to coexist, though maybe not so peacefully. In a recent Vermont Standard commentary,

The Messenger ’s 32-page first issue hit the streets Aug. 25. Co-edited by Robert Smith and Joe Milliken, the former coeditors of the Message for the Week, the Messenger is published by New Market Press of Middlebury, Vt. New Market Press publishes the Eagle, of Addison and southern Chittenden counties, and the Rutland Tribune. The Messenger will be distributed every Wednesday, with a direct mailing of over 20,000 copies to the paper ’s core towns, including Ludlow, Londonderry, Chester, Springfield, Rockingham and Westminster. Another 5,000-plus copies will be dropped at key distribution centers in Walpole, Charlestown and Claremont in New Hampshire, and from Brattleboro north and west as far as Rutland, making it southern Vermont’s largest weekly. Like other New Market Press publications, the Messenger is a positive news and lifestyle paper with an emphasis on local community events, local sports, arts, entertainment and food.

Killington’s peak experience By Angela DeBlasio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Killington Peak climbs to 4,226 feet above sea level. It’s the second tallest mountain in Vermont—only Mt. Mansfield is higher. But Killington can at least claim no. 1 status as the highest peak in the Coolidge range of the rugged central Green Mountains. And the mountain is the loftiest of the six peaks that make up the world famous Killington Resort complex. You don’t need skis to make an assault on Killington—at least during the summer months. There are several steps to the summit this time of year by a combination of foot and gondola car. Killington isn’t hard to miss; it’s located east of Rutland at the junction of Routes 4 and 100 in Killington. From the Killington sign on Route 4, drive 3.6 miles up the Killington Road to Snowshed Base Area located on the left. Continue straight to reach the base of Killington Peak. Vermont’s Long Trail comes within 0.2 miles of the summit. The Long Trail inspired the creation of the Appalchaian Trail. As luck would have it, Killington is the highest point of the Appalachian Trail in Vermont. I took the gondola ride to the

The cost was $10 one way for each adult, but for those that want the roundtrip ride it’s only $15 per adult. The gondola was a relaxing and exciting 1.25-mile ride. At the top, you can eat your picnic lunch as you enjoy the Coolidge range and pine-fresh alpine heights surrounding you. The views from Killington’s summit are impressive. On a clear day, looking north, you can see the Adirondacks; looking east, you can see the
distant White Mountains. Leaving the peak, I hiked down the mountainside on the Ramshead Trail (a nicely graded ski trail). Over the course of my descent, I spotted numerous frogs and toads, butterflies and birds, even an harmless snake. Including the gondola ride, picnic, and hiking to the peak—including the descent—the whole trek took approximately 5 hours. The trip was worth every minute.

DMV warns of bogus website The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles learned today of a bogus website asking motorists to register their vehicles and renew their driver ’s license using a credit card. DMV is warning Vermonters not to use this website as it is not legitimate. The bogus website operates under the guise of both Business.com and vtregistrationrenewals.com. If computer users use the search engine Google and type in Vermont registration renewals or a similar search phrase, the bogus website can be the first link that appears. The Vermont DMV is warning computer users not to visit these websites, and only visit the official Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles website to do their on-line transactions. “These bogus websites look extremely authentic, inform the user they can save a trip to the DMV and then take the user through a series of screens that appear legitimate,” said Vermont DMV Commissioner Robert Ide. “These bogus websites eventually ask computer users for their credit card information. Please do not give it to them.” The Department of Motor Vehicles has reported the bogus websites to the Vermont Attorney General’s office, and the State has con-
tacted Google to have the bogus web links removed from its search engine. The Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles does offer some services on-line. Vermonters looking to legitimately do business with the Vermont DMV through the Internet should visit www.dmv.state.vt.us. In general, things to look for to determine if a site is legitimate or spoofed are the following: The URL (web address line) will show the http as https. Note the “s,” which means “secure.” If this is missing, it is not a secure site. Look for the image of a closed pad lock in the lower right hand corner of the screen. This lock indicates that the site is secure, as long as the lock appears locked. An open lock indicates the site is not secure. Seeing this lock in any area of the page, other than the lower right hand corner is a red flag that the site may not be real. Look for misspellings or the inappropriate use of words or incorrect information. On the DMV spoofed site, the prices are incorrect, and it asks if you have a “conservative plate,” which should read, “conservation plate.” For more information on information security please go to the Vermont Information Security web site at: http://itsecurity.vermont.gov/.

Reader Mail: Husband Questions Her Stockpiling
I
t's time again to answer some questions from readers like you who are learning to be Super-Couponers:
Q: "I have been following your method for about a month now and I'm having a lot of fun with this! But I am having trouble getting my husband to understand why I just bought 6 bottles of lotion at one time. I paid 49 cents each after coupons and I thought that was a good deal. But he thinks it's silly to buy more than we need. Help!" A: It sounds like you're hitting a little stockpile resistance at home. Don't worry. It's temporary. Sometimes it's difficult to wrap our brains around buying more than we need for immediate use. As shoppers, we are conditioned to buy based on needs versus buying strictly based on price. But to understand why stockpiling groceries works so well, it's important to note why prices fluctuate so widely. Grocery stores operate on a pricing cycle that typically lasts 12 weeks. During that time, the price of every item in the store will rise and fall according to various sale. But the price of any given item will only be at its absolute lowest price just once during the 12-week period. So, if you're not buying your items when their price is at that lowest point you're paying more, needlessly. If we can buy a sufficient amount of a nonperishable item to last 12 weeks, we don't have to go to the store and get stuck paying full price for something when we "need" it. And that's the difference between needs-based shopping and price-based shopping. If we purchase our items when the price hits that low and store them at home, we can "shop at home" for that item when we actually do need it. Your lotion is a great example of a good item to stockpile. It's easy to store and doesn't hit an expiration date for a very long time. You paid less than 50 cents a bottle and you've got enough lotion on hand to last your household the better part of a year. Had you purchased only one, when that bottle ran out you'd have to go to the store and pay close to $4 to replace it. With your stockpile, you'll simply reach for the next bottle when you need it and you'll feel great knowing it cost you one-eighth the price of a regular-priced bottle. That makes terrific financial sense! Would your husband rather
Deep-space drifters
A
ccording to researchers at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory in Massachusetts, several stars were discovered that were ejected from the galactic center at millions of miles per hour. The first stellar “exile” found, located in the direction of the constellation Ursa Major, is designated SDSS J091301.0+305120 This bizarre exiled star is zooming out of the Milky Way galaxy at more than one million mph. So far, five exiled stars have been located. These rogue stars are now being lumped under a new class of unusual space objects—called hypervelocity stars. "These stars literally are castaways," said Smithsonian astronomer Warren Brown. "They have been thrown out of their home galaxy and set adrift in an ocean of intergalactic space." Astronomers believe that thousands of castaway stars probably exist within our galaxy. By comparison, the Milky Way contains about 100 billion stars. The Smithsonian team examined dozens of stellar candidates across an area of sky almost 8,000 times larger than the full Moon to spot their quarry. Exiled stars were probably thrown from the galactic center millions of years ago. Each star once was part of a binary star system. When a binary swings too close to a black hole, the intense gravity can yank the binary apart capturing one star while flinging the other outward at tremendous speed (hence the word hypervelocity). Chances of seeing a rogue star at the mo-

ment it’s being ejected are that good, according to Brown. But the hunt will continue as he and fellow astronomers are likely to find more examples of the stellar castaways. The first castaway, SDSS J091301.0+305120, is traveling out of the galaxy at a speed of about 1.25 million miles per hour; it is located 240,000 light-years from Earth. Castaway stars, traveling at hyper speeds through deep space, are located far from Earth. Their motion cannot be detected except with sophisticated electronic and optical instruments. What’s in the Sky: The Pleiades, also called the seven sisters, (Messier 45) is a naked eye star cluster in the constellation of Taurus. The Subaru (Japanese for Pleiades) automobile company was named for this star cluster. You can see the cluster best this weekend, in the east, just before midnight. Other fascinating stellar objects are also observable nearby. See accompanying sky map. Lou Varricchio, M.Sc., is the NASA/JPL solar system ambassador for Vermont.

you spend eight times as much as you did? I bet not! Q: "Could you help me with coupon stacking? My grocery store always offered its store coupons in the flier. But now they started offering electronic coupons and I'm not sure how to stack my paper coupons with these." A: Coupon stacking is a great way to save big! When we stack coupons, we comBy Jill Cataldo bine a store coupon and a manufacturer coupon on the same item. And, when stores offer their coupons electronically, stacking works almost the same way. First, you'll log in to your store's Web site and activate your electronic coupons. Once activated, these coupons will automatically be deducted from your total when the clerk scans your store shopper's loyalty card during checkout. Stacking manufacturer coupons with electronic store coupons is even easier than stacking two paper coupons together, since there's less to clip! Once you have viewed the list of online coupons loaded to your card, comb through the current week's circulars and your stash of previous week's circulars for coupons on those same items and take them with you to use during checkout. You'll receive the store's discount instantly via the electronic coupons on your card and when the cashier scans your manufacturer coupons you will receive those discounts on top of the others. You'll see both sets of savings on your receipt... and a smaller end total, too!

Feet don’t fail me now, part 2 T
hey’re cute. Cute ones are. Ugly ones aren’t. I’ll get to going out with a chick and at some point she’ll say, “You have a foot fetish,” to which I’ll reply, “No, I don’t think so—really.” Next, she’ll say, “Yeah, you do—you always say my feet are cute and sexy and you like rubbin’ ‘em, and I catch you looking at them when we’re on the couch.” In an effort to defend my self-perceived normalness I reply, “Yeah, I like you’re feet, but they’re cute; they’re hot. I don’t like unhot feet, so I don’t have a foot fetish—do I? I mean, I like your fingers, too, but I don’t like them swollen looking ones some girls have. Nothing against puffy fingered girls, lots of puffy fingered gals are sweet I’m sure. Would I not dig a gal cause she has puffy fingers? No. But I also wouldn’t be all over her fingers saying how hot they are, lying essentially. So would you say cause I think you’re fingers are gorgeous that I have a hand fetish? I just dig your feet.” All the while I know I have a foot fetish. Another reason I’d say I don’t have a foot fetish is because I think dude’s feet are nasty. I think any dude who wears sandals should be sentenced to cleaning crocodile pens. (Unless you’re my doctor) I do not want to see your feet dudes. So, if I had a foot fetish, wouldn’t I like all types of feet, which would include dude feet? Or are fetishes solely heterosexual? Complicated stuff this foot fetish stuff, isn’t it? A main reason to believe I have a foot fetish (and this is where you folks who think my writing can sometimes be overtly sexual or perverted, should skip): When foot bearing season arrives, and gals start to tinkle their pretty little tootsies in public, I feel like I’m seeing a part of them I shouldn’t be allowed
to see. Growing up and living in Vermont means barefoot season is short—so when you finally, after 10 months of sock wearing season, do see a gal’s bare pair of peds, it’s like you’re seeing, well, things you shouldn’t see. Feet, I believe, were designed to be covered, for protection mostly, yes, but because they’re so often covered, they become a private part, in my book. Therefore, when it’s foot-baring season, I get a bit blushy, and fetishy about it. So, sue me. Course that would explain why I don’t need to be seeing a dude’s feet. Across the room in a restaurant the other night, a gal, her back to me, was wearing flip-flops; not cheap drug-store rubber ones. Actually, I think you’d call them sandals or maybe flipdals. Doesn’t matter what you call them, what matters is what this chick was doing with her feet was driving me crazy. Keeping her feet in her sandals, she’d stretch them into the tippy-toe position. I liked that move. She’d pull a foot half way out and slowly push it back into the flip-dal, repeatedly. That was hot. She’d rummage around the straps of the flip-dal with her toes, in a way that you could tell felt awfully good on her toes. She’d back her feet out of the straps and lay them both down fully on top of the flip-dals. And my favorite; She’d bend her feet up into tippy-toe position, but with her toes bent under, so from behind her you could see the little toe pads to each of her ten toes.
Did I mention she had a perfect arch, and her heels looked soft? I wonder if married guys ever sit at dinner and watch girls play around with their feet? Most days pass without anything much spectacular happening that would cause us to remember that day them from the thousands of other days we will hopefully be blessed to live. The day I watched the gal at the restaurant playing with her feet was not one of those thousands of unspectacular days. I have a foot fetish. It’s strong enough to make me engage parts of my memory that cares less about the 24hour news cycle and Jon and Kate and 8. So now, if you thought a foot fetish could only be a bad thing, well, you see you were mistaken. Rusty DeWees tours Vermont and Northern New York with his act “The Logger.” His column appears weekly.

Feral house in Brandon along Route 7.
Feral house in Brandon along Route 7.
Housing From page 1 titled “Vermont in Decline”, writer P.G. Behr described Woodstock’s odd mix of community wealth coupled with the slow creep of feral housing: “The East End (of Woodstock) is a disgrace. Instead of a thriving, manicured area, one arrives from the east to see weedy, overgrown spaces and shabby, abandoned buildings. The area should be redeveloped, and the town/village has the means to do so, but no incentive. Since Acts 60/68 came into being, Vermont towns do not benefit from expanding their tax bases,” writes Behr. “By creating higher values for property within their boundaries, Vermont’s towns generate more tax revenues for the state—virtually no benefits flow to the towns... Vermont’s landowners have seen huge increases in real estate taxes. Equally huge increases have taken place in education spending, without any improvement in outcomes, while the student population has decreased and the teacher population has increased. The smartest high school graduates leave the state, usually for good.” Passed in 1997, Act 60 states that “the property tax rate in each town is adjusted by the common level of appraisal (CLA) for that town's school district. The CLA helps to equalize how much towns pay, essentially by adjusting the appraised value of a house by looking at recent sale prices in town in comparison to the appraised values. If the appraised values are below the sale prices, the CLA raises the tax rate, and if the prices are below the appraised values, the CLA lowers the tax rate. This is done so that properties that have not been reappraised in several years are not able to pay lower taxes than a similarly valued home that was more recently reappraised.” In the case of Act 68, Vermont property is divided into four classes for purposes of school taxation: 1. Residential property rate, 2. Housesite income-based rate, 3. Housesite assessment reduction, and 4. Nonresidential property rate. Without delving into the arcane details of both Acts 60 and 68, one can easily argue that there are lots of “negative incentives” that would result in some homeowners actually running down their properties to reduce their annual tax bills. A lower house value means lower taxes. But to say that all feral houses in Vermont are the results of Acts 60/68, as Behr suggests in his commentary, is not totally accurate. In some cases, perhaps, out-of-state or even in-state individuals may be wrestling with the fate of a family homestead or they might be delaying a decision about what to do with a particular property for personal reasons—should the family sell the place or keep it for later family use, such as retirement home. Still, there is some logic in going feral: why improve your property if it’s only going to be hit up for higher taxes? At some point, pride of homeownership could give way to simple economic reality. No matter who or what’s at fault relating to Vermont’s feral houses, these abandoned structures must eventually drag down surrounding property values. And wouldn’t lowered property values eventually result in fewer taxes collected by a community? So why does upscale Woodstock tolerate its East End eyesore? Apparently, there’s no real interest in expanding the tax base as long as property values elsewhere in town can continue to be jacked up. (But for how long before this house of cards falls?) It certainly isn’t in a community’s long-term interest to keep feral houses around—they are eyesores and inevitably attract mischief and bad press. And for hardworking, taxpaying neighbors living next door to feral houses, well, it’s sure no pleasure living next to an eyesore. So, why aren’t the officials of Vermont towns affected by feral housing doing something about this issue? Why aren’t they redeveloping blighted properties? Maybe commentator Behr is correct: There’s no incentive. Why fix up feral houses when the town gets nothing out of it? Omnes relinquite spes, o vos intrantes. Lou Varricchio

Solar Heat To the Editor: The folks at Solar Heat Vermont appreciate the Aug. 8 story by Lisa Bates about our business, but we wanted to correct outdated information. We no longer sell our FreeHeat solar space-heating panels as kits. (Too many people did not have the ability or tools needed to complete the kits.) Instead, we now sell ready-to-mount panels, hand-made by skilled Vermont craftsmen to fit the specifics of each customer ’s site. Our FreeHeat panels are designed to allow buildings to take advantage of the free heating energy that sunlight provides—even in New England in winter. The principle is elegantly simple, with no plumbing or wiring required (see diagram at www.solarheatvermont.com). This is low-tech solar that not only works but pays for itself in two to four heating seasons, depending on the weather. We’ve found that people understand solar hot water and solar electricity, but aren’t familiar with panels that provide passive solar space heating. Here are a few statistics. A standard three-panel array (96 square feet) on a suitable southfacing wall will warm roughly 1,000 square feet of well-insulated space. That’s the equivalent of replacing 1 gallon of fossil fuel per day during an average heating season, or about $400 at $2.67/gallon for heating oil. Over a 20-year period, a standard array would also keep about 35,600 pounds of carbon dioxide out of the air. It was a pleasant surprise to see your story on Solar Heat Vermont, which generated a number of inquiries. However, your readers should know that our product is now complete passive solar space-heating panels rather than kits. Ron Kohn Solar Heat Vermont
Thank You To the Editor: The Castleton Community Seniors extend a sincere thank you to all the individuals, businesses, and organizations who contributed to our very successful Basket Party July 18. Over $4,000 was raised to help pay for the renovations to our barn/ Wellness Center project. The Basket Committee did a spectacular job collecting over 150 baskets and $2,500 in raffle items. Special recognition goes to Lillian Pitts and Kay Mead who worked tirelessly in contacting donors and collecting items for the event. The Wellness Center serves the health and educational needs of seniors and others in the community who benefit from convenient access to programs and services designed to promote healthy aging and improve the quality of life for older adults and their families. For information about our programs and services call 4683093. Jo Ann Riley Castleton Community Seniors Executive Director Castleton
Insult to Veterans To the Editor: On July 15, the selectboard of Shoreham received a letter on the subject of allowing the people in Shoreham to vote to increase—from $10,000 to $40,000—the property tax exemption for their four qualified U.S. veterans. The writer wished to speak at the board meeting. The reply from the town clerk said that they “discussed” the writer ’s request and “they do not want to pursue any change in exemption at this time.” Why should Shoreham change the $10,000 exemption? Only 32 years passed since the town graciously gave veterans the exemption, now they are cheeky enough to ask for more. After all, we allowed them to serve. How stupid of them to become disabled, isn’t it damn ungrateful of them. The next thing they’ll want special seating at the Veteran’s Day Memorial. You know it never stops. Shame on Shoreham. Ed Mann Waltham
Maple Bowl To the Editor: The 56th Annual Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl is history and thanks to you it was a very successful game. The press, radio and T.V. of Vermont and New Hampshire have always played an important role in the success of the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl and this year was no different. In deed, the media of the two states continued to help make the Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl one of the premiere Shrine Games in the country and for that we thank you. We won’t have a final dollar figure for several weeks but in the meantime, we’re optimistic that it will be a successful year for the Shrine and for the children in the Shrine Hospitals, and for that we thank you. As always, I enjoyed working with all of you. David E. Orr Director of Media Relations Rutland

Celebrate polka, Polish heritage in Granville
Douglas
GRANVILLE, N.Y.—Donnie P and Celebration, a well-known Polish polka band from the Albany, N.Y., area, headlines the Slate Valley Museum’s Barn Dance, Saturday, Sept. 19. The rain or shine event, 5-11 p.m., will be held in the barn and under tents at Wing Clydesdales and Horse Farm in Granville. The farm is the major sponsor for the museum fundraiser. Barn dance tickets, $15 for adults and $5 for ages 12 and under, can be purchased in advance at the museum and other ticket locations or at the gate, but tickets are limited. The four-member Polish-American band, under the leadership of Don Poteralski, has performed throughout northern New York, Vermont, and western Massachusetts for over 30 years. Museum director Mary Lou Willits saysthere are many people of Polish ancestry in the Granvilel area. “Each year our public programs feature the customs of the different immigrant groups who came to work in the region’s slate industry, and the Polish polka tradition is a good fit with our first barn dance fundraiser,” she said. “Also, many Polish immigrants worked in the marble industry, so we
day-to-day involvement that other top-tier states such as Florida and California receive.” “We also thank Gov. Douglas for his years of service and wish him well in his next endeavor,” Daschle said. “As any farmer knows, after many years – working sun up to sun down, seven days a week—there comes a time to turn over the reins to fresh arms. For me, that time is approaching,” said Douglas. “After 36 years as a public servant, 28 of those years in statewide office, with what will be eight years as governor—and through 15 statewide elections—I will have held center stage long enough for any leader. I will not seek a fifth term as governor of Vermont.” Douglas pledged to spend the remaining 16 months of his term continuing the good work that he’s done to make Vermont a better place. Vermont leans strongly liberal Democrat. President Obama won the state by 37 points. Mostly liberal Democrats hold 95 of the 150 seats in the state house and 22 of the 30 seats in the senate. Going into the critical 2009 and 2010 election year, when 39 governorships are on the ballot, the Democratic Governors Association is well-positioned to provide candidates with the resources they need to compete. Already this year, the DGA has claimed it has broken its all-time fundraising record for the first six months of the year, bringing in $11.6 million.
hope to draw people from the Rutland area, especially its Polish American Club members who in past years have invited Donnie P and Celebration to play at their annual gathering in West Rutland,” she adds. Hayrides with the farm’s awardwinning Clydesdale team begin at 5 p.m., and the band plays 7-11 p.m. Both Polish and American food will be available for purchase starting at 6 p.m. A raffle that runs until 10 p.m. features a Telescope Casual Furniture patio set with umbrella, a stainless steel 3-burner gas grill donated by Granville American Hardware, two cash prizes ($200 and $100) donated by Peter Tatko, and a basket of wine donated by museum trustees. Raffle tickets, which are available for sale at the museum and at the event, are $4 per ticket or $20 for six tickets. “So far, we have received a great response from people who like to polka and people who love horses,” said farm owner and museum trustee John Shaw. Shaw, who regularly shows his four bay Clydesdales, has operated a carriage business for weddings, proms, marketing events, and anniversaries for over 10 years. The Granville Future Farmers of America have donated their

O
ne of the sounds apparently not echoing too often in the verdant farm hills of the Green Mountain State is the once familiar, “Soo-ee! Here pig, pig. Soo-ee! Here pig, pig.” At least you won’t hear these down-on-the-farm sounds around here if you read the label on the “Vermont-made” product pictured below. According to new flatlander rules governing gentrified Vermont farming, the following is forbidden from Vermont farms without nose whiff of a newcomer to our state: Any animal that grunts, smells, bellows or pollutes; these critters are considered unsightly in both stature and numbers—they are not unique or cuddly like alpacas. (Future bête-noirs added as needed.) This new Vermont farming criterion is entirely subjective and not open to your review. New arrivals to Vermont are free to make suggestions: The strictures placed on farmers as to what they may do with their land, are by diktat. Infuriated Toyota Prius-driving doxies—caught behind some farmer operating a tractor—and who missed their Pilates class sued to get ceramic cows. (No better is the toff late to his PTSD chat group for metrosexuals with bad hair.)
I can hear them now: “Vermont would be so nice without the stink and clank of—oh, you know... whatever.”
Vermont Gov. Jim Douglas with First Lady Dorothy Douglas on the campaign trial.

Indecent proposals
A
recent event in Somerset and Glastonbury (sometimes, recently, spelled with an “e”) brings to mind—if your memory span is relatively short—the 1993 Robert Redford movie in which a starlet agrees to engage in seduction with a playboy for a million dollars. The theme—what’ll you sell your honor for?—was first put to print in a 1988 novel by one Jack Englhard. If your memory span is a bit longer, you’ll recall that many years earlier, the same theme was discussed in the form of a college campus joke: BMOC invites coed to an overnight dalliance for a million bucks; she agrees; he drops the offer to a sawbuck; she angrily refuses with a rhetorical, “What do you think I am?”, and he replies: “We’ve already settled that question; now we’re just discussing price.” It’s not a perfect analogy, but I’d opine that the legalbut-not-ethical confiscation, by the state, of collected-butnot-spent monies taxed from property owners in those two unincorporated towns demonstrates that the posted price of virtue-loss in Montpelier is a mere $400,000, less than a thousandth of the total state budget of $4.4 billion. In this case, it isn’t merely an “Indecent Proposal” presumably consummated with mutual consent, but an actual unilateral indecent action, backed by the full and ultimately lethal power of the State. You’d think there’d be a host of quotes on character-asillustrated-by-small-events, but I found only one: from 17th century French dilettante/author/moralist Jean de la Bruyere, who observed that “a man reveals his character even by the simplest things he does”. And, of course, there’s the Old Testament, in which Esau sells his high-value birthright for a low-value “mess of pottage”, variously construed as beef stew, lentil soup, or some combination thereof. I’d like to think, but can’t prove, that the Vermonters-ingovernment of 50 years ago wouldn’t have behaved so shabbily for so little—as the current Golden Dome crew has just done. I draw slight consolation from noting the discomfort with which some in the legislature, operating in legal but not ethical mode, grabbed the money and ran. Rep. Alice Miller of Shaftsbury describes the fiscal maneuver as “not pleasant at all”, but her conscience was inadequate to the challenge of rising to the level of actually voting not to grab. She and her peers didn’t decline the money on the grounds, for example, that such demeaning conduct was beneath their pay grade. Because the Vermont news media reported no gubernatorial objection, I conclude that even Gov. Douglas chose to go along (without audible objection) with the petty little grab—both branches of state government now promising after-the-fact legislative changes to “stop us before we confiscate again.” Normally, towns aren’t supposed to run surpluses; if they do, the money is supposed to go back to the taxpayer sources, not up the chain of command to higher levels of governance. Most states—and even cities such as Democrat Chicago where the dead famously rise to vote again—haven’t historically been above equally distasteful antics, as the county-commissioner scandals in Oklahoma in the ‘80s, the Orange County hedge-fund-related financial fraud in California in the ‘90s, and the mythical sewer-line construction in Alabama in the ‘00s, have all shown. As far back as the ‘50s, folks in Vermont used to joke with snide superiority about Southern counties with overweight sheriffs who used speed-traps (some readers will remember when U.S. 1 and 301 were the pathway from the North to springtime foolishness in Florida) to cheat Yankee drivers out of a few dollars, under the cloak of superficial legality. We thought ourselves—and we were—better than such shabby behavior then. That was the underlying theme of Opinions magazine, the newsletter of the Vermont Secretary of State’s office, when it was edited by Jim Douglas and Paul Gillies: a steady diet of excellence-in-Vermont-governance stories from town meeting (as the epitome of rural participatory democracy) to selfless career state employees and the wonderful things they’ve done for their always-somewhatfeckless and dependent citizenry. Sure, Vermont governance costs a little more than elsewhere, but folks are so incredibly good at what they do that they’re worth it. Now, the not-honestly-defensible $400,000 confiscation suggests maybe not. There are two interesting sidebars here: 1. The Rutland Herald was at pains to point out that one of the property owners pays over $30,000 annually in taxes, implying that he’s a rich guy who doesn’t need all he (probably unfairly) has; and 2. In the context of the Sotomayor hearings and the concept of “legal realism”—whereby, in the words of Georgetown Law School educator Randy Barnett—the progressive judicial intent seeks “…To respect the precedents that lead to the results they like.” In this case, legal realism gives cover to Montpelier ’s impulse to seize $400,000 so that state government, and not the money’s earlier earners and owners, can spend it elsewhere—elsewhere in Vermont governance. High property taxes forced columnist Martin Harris to move from Vermont to Tennessee. Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
