Infrastructure issues present challenge for town center plan

Green Mountain Power announced today a multi-year agreement with GlobalFoundries to provide more stable energy costs in a move both companies say will help ensure the chip manufacturer’s viability in Vermont.

GMP, GlobalFoundries broker multi-year deal on energy costs

By COLIN FLANDERS Green Mountain Power announced today a multi-year agreement with GlobalFoundries to provide more stable energy costs in a move both companies say will help ensure the chip manufacturer’s viability in Vermont.

The deal lowers GMP’s transmission class rate – of which GlobalFoundries is the only customer, using and maintaining its own distribution grid – by 2.73 percent starting next year. That rate will be frozen through September 2022.

In exchange, the chip manufacturer agrees to maintain a specific level of power usage on-site and will forgo rate cuts or credits that GMP will give the rest of its customers next year thanks to more than $27 million from the federal tax reform, a news release said. The plan is subject to review and approval by state regulators.

“As the state’s largest manufacturer, we consume more electricity than any other single customer, and energy costs are determinant of the competitiveness of our operations in Vermont,” said Dale Miller, GlobalFoundries’

Vermont senior location executive, in the news release.

He added the company’s ability to purchase competitive energy in the state will factor into “future investment decisions.”

The deal looks to address GlobalFoundries’ longstanding complaints about energy costs in the state.

While among the lowest in New England, costs here remain significantly higher than in neighboring New York, where GlobalFoundries has two other facilities, due to regional power costs.

Production at GlobalFoundries runs 24 hours a day, resulting in a high energy demand, totaling over 400 million kilowatt-hours in 2016 alone, according to Thomas Jagielski, director of site operations, who testified to the public utility commission in 2017.

That same year, Jagielski told the PUC, the company paid about $40 million in energy costs, including about $4.5 million to operate its distribution system. If the company used the same amount of power at its Malta, N.Y. facility, the cost would have been less than half that total.

Town officials are working to address several issues that could potentially impede growth in the Essex Town Center after a letter from the public works department raised concerns with the first draft of the area’s new master plan.

In a letter to the planning commission, public works director Dennis Lutz and his staff charge the ETC Next proposal recommends growth without answering how the town could handle the inherent infrastructure demands.

The department highlights four areas of “significant concern.”

One – a change in the plan that would have forced the town to accept large portions of Route 15 as a Class I highway – has already been nixed, and Lutz believes any stormwater problems can be remedied without too much disruption.

But the department’s remaining concerns around water pressure, fire flow and sewer allocations will likely force the town to improve or alter its current infrastructure if it hopes to accommodate the plan’s vision for the town center.

Given the consultants’ initial recommendations, growth in that area is likely: The draft plan envisions two mixed-use zones straddling Route 15 with building heights of up to four and five stories. And even without increasing density, the town is struggling to provide enough water pressure in the higher elevation portions of the town center because of their relation to the pump stations, Lutz said.

Higher buildings mean

more demand to get the water to the highest floors, and the only way to remedy this problem is to create a new pressure zone with pumps whose sole purpose is to serve the town center. Lutz suggested the impacted development cover the costs on either a building-bybuilding basis or a collective, privately-funded system.

“These things can be fixed. It's just a matter of who pays for it and when.”

Dana Hanley Director of community Development

Separate from water pressure needs is the flow of water used to combat fires, where lower levels can lead to less protection and increased insurance costs.

Lutz pointed to other areas in town with similar flow issues that have forced developers to pay for their own storage tanks.

A potential fix in the town center comes in the form of a joint project with the Champlain Water District, which wants to build another pump station in the village to control water flow in and out of Essex tanks and allow the town to connect its water system.

Mosquitos testing positive for West Nile virus were found in Essex last week, according to the Vt. Health Department.

West Nile virus detected in Essex

By COLIN FLANDERS Mosquitos found in two different locations around Essex have tested positive for West Nile Virus, the Vt. Health Department announced last week.

The test marks the second time in less than two months that mosquitos carrying the virus were found in town; Essex’s first positive test was reported in early August. Though there have been no reports of human cases in Vermont so far this year, health officials learned last week a horse in Windham County had tested positive for the virus, according to a news release.

“Animal cases like this are cause for concern because it means mosquitoes carrying the virus are out there, and they’re biting,” said Natalie Kwit, a state public health veterinarian, in the news release.

Each year, the Vt. Agency of Agriculture conducts weekly tests between June through October to track the virus’ prevalence in the state. Tests examine so-called pools – comprised of anywhere between one to 50 mosquitos – collected at the same trap on the same day. The health department summarizes that data in a weekly report posted to its website (www. healthvermont.gov).

West Nile virus spreads when an infected mosquito bite a human or an animal, though it can’t be transmitted between the two.

The Forest Partnership held a press conference at the VYCC West Monitor Barn last week to announce the impressive results from a study examining return on investment in land conservation in Vermont.

A new report from the Trust for Public Land reported that for every $1 invested in land conservation in Vermont, $9 is returned in natural goods and services.

“This is the third highest return on investment we’ve seen among the dozen studies we’ve conducted in states across the country,” said Shelby Semmes, the TPL’s Vermont and New Hampshire state program director.

The 900 percent return on investment in land conservation comes back to local municipalities in various forms of natural goods and services, the report said.

Essex drug dealer receives six-year sentence in federal case

By MIKE DONOGHUE BURLINGTON – A Philadelphia man who officials say set up a drug distribution business in Essex has been sentenced to six years in prison.

Wendell E. Saunders, 41, learned on Friday he will be on federal supervised release for three years after he is discharged from prison. He also is wanted for a possible parole violation in Philadelphia.

Saunders had already pleaded guilty in U.S. District Court to knowingly possessing heroin with intent to sell on Sept. 17, 2015, the day he was arrested in Essex Jct. An Essex Police informant told in-

vestigators he started buying heroin, often 60 bags at a time, in August 2015 from Saunders, who used the street name "J," court records show.

An Essex Police detective assigned to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration Task Force got two confidential informants from Essex to obtain drugs four times from Saunders in August and September 2015, court records show. They said the sales ranged from 30 to 100 bags.

A couple of the early drug sales happened near apartments at 39 Prospect St. in Essex Jct., where the informant said he met Saunders, records show.

After one of the buys, Essex Police

stopped a vehicle in which Saunders was a passenger. The driver was a Colchester man who was previously arrested for driving under the influence of drugs, records show.

Police noted Saunders had one cell phone in his hand and another under his leg. There were two more in the center console and one in the driver's side door.

Saunders and the driver claimed they were going to a store and to the beach, but surveillance showed they did neither, the Essex drug detective said in court papers. Instead they drove directly to his girlfriend Allison Paquette’s apartment in Barre City.

AGREEMENT from page 1 “Our customers continually expect to buy more performance at a lower price,” Jagielski told the PUC. “Next year, the semiconductor customer will expect to get more technology performance than this year and pay less for it.”

In a news release, GMP said it has worked with state partners for years to support both IBM and now GlobalFoundries, noting it’s “critical” for high-tech manufacturers to have a predictable cost structure for energy.

“The positive economic impact of GF’s presence in Vermont is significant,” GMP president and CEO Mary Powell said in a news release. “We feel strongly that we, along with our state partners, should continue to do what is reasonable and responsible to support keeping these important manufacturing jobs here in Vermont.”

The GlobalFoundries campus in Essex Jct. has 30 buildings on more than 700 acres of land. Employing about 2,500 people, the company remains the state’s largest for-profit employer and represents a major economic stimulus in the state: The Greater Burlington In-

dustrial Corporation has estimated the company adds $1 billion annual to the Vermont economy.

It’s also a sizable chunk of the town and village’s grant list, representing 3.1 percent of all property tax revenue in the town and a whopping 7.4 percent in the village, according to assistant finance director Sarah Macy.

Local officials lauded the news for its impact on both the state and Essex.

“GlobalFoundries provides thousands of goodpaying jobs and has been a great employer for decades.

We appreciate the hard work to support its ongoing success,” Reps. Linda Myers (R) and Dylan Giambatista (D) said in a joint statement.

Reached Tuesday, village president George Tyler said he knew the companies were negotiating for several years now and said the company’s viability in the state remains vital to both the state and Essex.

“This increases the likelihood that they will be making a more long-term commitment to staying in Vermont,” he said. “It’s excellent news. It’s a great win-win for both sides.”

“We feel strongly that we, along with our state partners, should continue to do what is reasonable and responsible to support keeping these important manufacturing jobs here in Vermont.”

It's Apple Picking Time!

Apple picking has started at both locations

mies directly in many forms, including tourism, a $2.61 billion economy in the state. Tourists and residents spend an additional $5.5 billion on outdoor recreation in Vermont’s natural landscape.

Conservation in the form of working lands also helps to boost the state’s economic return on investment, the report said. Maple syrup, dairies and produce farms contribute $796 million to Vermont’s economy: protecting these working lands is important for the the future of farming in the state, the report says.

Investing in land conservation also benefits Vermonters in the form of public health, environmental health, economic development, the TPL report said.

While the economic analysis of the report was conducted by TPL advisors, the entire project was supported by the Vermont Forest Partnership, a coalition of five organizations including the TPL, Audubon Vermont, The Nature Conservancy, Vermont Land Trust and the Vermont Natural Resources Council.

The coalition, whose goal is to protect the state’s forests from fragmen-

tation and to support conservation, is excited about the results of the study.

“We’ve always anticipated that investing in land conservation is a good investment that pays dividends to Vermonters,” said Brian Shupe, executive director of the VNRC. “But we were pleasantly surprised at how big that return was.”

For Vermont towns, the report is good news.

“Many municipalities make bold decisions to invest precious resources to match state funding investments that this report evaluates,” Semmes said. “This $1 to $9 return on investment should be proof that they are acting prudently and with bold vision when doing so, benefitting current and future residents and businesses.”

Colchester economic development director Kathi O’Reilly noted the town’s continued investment in recreation and conservation for the benefit of residents and tourists.

“The Heritage Project, which was a resident-driven initiative, had several priorities including ‘Preserve and strengthen the viability of Colchester’s working landscape and agricultural economy in support of local economic development, economic self-

reliance, and Colchester’s agricultural heritage,’” she wrote in an email to the Sun. With this report, Shupe said, the VNRC is going to continue to raise public awareness and advocate for policy to protect the state’s forests and from fragmentation and development.

“For the first time in over 100 years, we’re starting to lose our forest again, we’re going backwards,” he said. “We’re seeing the fragmentation of our forests, it’s subdivision in scattered unplanned residential development, and that’s already having an economic impact.”

Essex is also investing in land conservation through the Essex Conservation Reserve Fund. Darren Schibler, community development director for Essex, said the fund's goal is to leverage town money and get funding from land trusts to help residents protect land in the form of conservation easements.

"It's helping offset the legal and stewardship fees often associated with conserving a piece of land," Schibler said. "So for someone who wants to donate a conservation easement, it's basically making it free for them, or that's the idea."

positive test results, and the health department is now working with municipalities on public outreach, providing language for local newsletters to spread awareness of how to avoid the disease.

Without a vaccination for humans, the answer is quite simple: Prevent mosquito bites. To do so, the health department offers the following advice: • Use an EPA-registered insect repellent.

• Wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outside.

• Use permethrin to treat clothing and gear, such as boots, pants, socks and tents.

• Cover baby strollers or outdoor playpens with mosquito netting.

• Fix holes in your screens.

• Drain areas with standing water where mosquitoes can breed, like old tires, flowerpots, wading pools and rain gutters.

Kwit noted the risk of getting the virus is highest this time of the year and will continue to be until the first hard frost.

“Until then, it is peak season,” she said in a news release.

Citing state punishment, town passes on hearing for Backstage Pub

By COLIN FLANDERS With additional reporting

by MIKE DONOGHUE The selectboard won’t hold a liquor hearing for Backstage and Pub Restaurant because town officials believe the state’s weeklong license suspension sufficed as punishment for its owner being drunk on the job.

Following recommendations from the police department and town manager’s office, selectboard members agreed to forgo a local hearing after initially postponing a decision until the state resolved its case.

Deputy town manager Greg Duggan said there have been no reported incidents at Backstage since May, and town officials feel confident the state’s punishment is sufficient.

“We’ll certainly continue to monitor them and see if any other issues come up,” Duggan said.

The decision signals an end to the troubles for Backstage and its owner, Vincent Dober Sr., a former Burlington city councilor who has owned the Essex bar for about five years. Dober came under scrutiny earlier this year after state investigators said he was drinking on duty and failed to fully disclose his criminal record on his license renewal.

Liquor investigators were called to the bar after getting two anonymous tips that Dober was intoxicated, according to the Vermont Liquor Control Board.

At a hearing in front of the liquor board July, Dober tried to dispute testimony accusing him of being intoxicated on a night in late April. Investigators said his

speech was slurred and he was unsteady on his feet – portrayals Dober blamed on a respiratory illness.

Dober said that’s also why he couldn’t complete a required breath test, a condition added to his license in April following an earlier incident in which he was found tending bar with a .172 percent blood-alcohol level. He paid a $350 fine for the infraction, and Backstage’s license was suspended for three days for having an intoxicated patron on the premises that same night.

In its ruling, the liquor board said it found the liquor investigator’s testimony “credible in all respects,” leading to the suspension and a several tight restrictions: Dober is now prohibited from drinking or being under the influence of any substance, including

alcohol, while on the premises of his bar in the village.

The board also said it wants Dober to appear when it comes time for any future license renewals.

“We have now found that Mr. Dober’s intoxication has led to violations stemming from his role as both employee and patron of his licensed establishment,” reads the board’s decision. “These infractions cannot continue if licensee wishes to remain licensed.”

Dober’s attorney, Norm Blais, told The Reporter in July that he and his client felt the state’s conditions were reasonable “considering the circumstances.”

“He will live with them,” Blais said.

Police reports show authorities were quite familiar with Backstage.

Essex police reported 26 incidents at Backstage between Jan. 1, 2017 and April 4, 2018 that generated police response, including at least seven cases of driving under the influence in addition to complaints for assaults, intoxicated persons, disorderly conduct and a non-fatal drug overdose.

Selectboard chairman Max Levy asked to receive timely notice of any further violations rather than waiting until next year’s renewal process. Police Chief Rick Garey said the department is now running quarterly incident reports for all first-class liquor licenses.

“If there is something of an urgent nature, we would bring that to the town manager’s attention immediately,” Garey said.

ETC from page 1 cost-sharing with CWD, but Lutz didn’t expect the project to be a substantial investment for the town, ballparking the total around $400,000, an amount he said the town could probably cover with its capital fund.

The town is in a similar holding pattern on potential fixes to its sewer issues.

While the area proposed for the town center plan falls within the sewer core, the town originally designed the system anticipating a full-build out by 2004.

Fourteen years later, it’s at around 50 to 60 percent, Lutz said, meaning there’s some wiggle room in the system: Some areas that were once envisioned for development – and the necessary sewer allocation – have instead been adopted for less intensive use. That frees up space in the system elsewhere.

But at least one sanitary pump station – at Lang Farm and Heritage Estates – is nearing capacity and can’t handle additional build-out over the next decade, Lutz wrote in his letter. Necessary upgrades would cost up to $100,000 and could ad-

dress the needs of existing, assigned allocations only.

Any sewer needs above what’s already planned, however, will require additional upgrades to the existing sewer system, the department’s letter says.

The town has worked to update its Sanitary Sewer System Capacity Study, which covers the entire sewer core, and has asked its consultant to modify the study with new potential build-out scenarios that align with what’s suggested

in the ETC Next plan.

That final report will help Lutz and his staff spell out the town’s options, like whether to upgrade or replace existing pump stations, reallocate some of the flow or install a new station elsewhere.

“At the end of the process, we’ll be able to provide some answers,” he said.

Striking an ominous tone, the public works’ letter may seem like a rebuke to the ambitious ETC Next efforts, but town officials as-

sure the process is working as it should.

“Planners always think that the plan should come first because at least we have something to refer back to at any stage of the process,” said Dana Hanley, director of community development.

That way, if the town needs a bond to pay for some of the improvements, it can point to the plan as evidence of the need.

“Whereas, if we just bag the plan because it doesn’t seem feasible from an infra-

structure point of view, that wouldn’t be good,” she said.

Lutz agreed. He said the back-and-forth is a normal part of the process; without an idea of where the town is heading, he can’t be sure what questions need answering.

The planning commission will soon begin hosting monthly meetings to drill into the design review phase of the plan, tackling topics like whether the town should adopt a form-based code to make a more effi-

cient and predictable development review process. The first discussion is scheduled for September 27.

Meanwhile, Lutz, Hanley and company will work behind the scenes to come up with answers to the infrastructure questions.

Both seem confident they can do so.

“These things can be fixed,” Hanley said. “It's just a matter of who pays for it and when.”

LocaL Village wastewater facility lauded for sustainability

By AMANDA BrOOKs

The Village of Essex Jct. was awarded a 2018 Vermont Governor’s Award in sustainability for recent upgrades to its wastewater treatment facility. Among this year’s other winners were the Essex-based GlobalFoundries and Middlebury’s Vermont Coffee Company.

The village’s project was completed in 2015 and consisted of $15.4 million in upgrades and improvements to the facility to save money and increase the system’s sustainability and efficiency.

“The goal was to save money and invest in a realistic way for the users,” said Jim Jutras, water quality superintendent for the village.

And save money it has: Jutras said the improvements are saving the village up to $100,000 a year. Those savings come in the form of reducing energy usage and sustainable practices, including reusing heat and energy the system produces when treating the water.

One means to that end is the facility’s combined heat and power installation, Jutras said. The CHP captures energy coming off the machines that treat the water and uses it to power the anaerobic digester and some of the control buildings.

Excess methane is also captured by the CHP and is used to power the system, saving on the amount of natural gas used by the facility, Jutras said.

Additionally, the anaerobic digester, used to break down sludge from the treatment of the wastewater, produces both heat and biosolids. The heat goes back into the system to power the equipment, and the solids are treated and used as fertilizer at a nearby farm, essentially closing the loop, Jutras said.

“Instead of the typical efficiency of 40-50 percent of combustion of fuel, we’re getting in the 85 percent-plus range because we’re generating power and recovering the heat off of the generator,” Jutras explained.

To further decrease dependence

The village wastewater treatment facility was recently awarded a Governor's award for sustainability. Upgrades to the facility were completed in 2015 to save money and increase sustainability. One way the project achieved this was by repurposing the old buildings on site to save on construction costs. on nonrenewable energy, the village installed solar walls on two buildings and two others are powered by geothermal energy. Two buildings also use waste heat from the water treatment process for heating and cooling.

In addition, the facility gets some of its energy from a private solar field installation on the property.

The wastewater facility also used the 2015 upgrades to anticipate new standards for phosphorus discharges by the state.

Phosphorous is currently one of the leading concerns for water quality in the Lake Champlain basin. Excess amounts in the lake contribute to algae blooms and threaten environmental and public health.

Major sources for the nutrient in Lake Champlain include agricultural and urban runoff, according to the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation. Only 2 percent comes from Vermont’s wastewater, but these facilities are still heavily regulated by

the EPA to curb phosphorus discharge.

Part of the upgrades to the village’s wastewater treatment facility included an improved filtration process and equipment to reduce the amount of phosphorous getting into Lake Champlain, Jutras said.

Currently, the facility is permitted to discharge .8 milligrams of phosphorus per liter of water, but by 2020 it will have to reduce that amount to .2 mg/l.

However, Jutras said the 2015 upgrades brought the system to that target already, and the village will continue optimizing the system to continue decreasing that amount.

The facility is expensive to operate, but Jutras said the village’s investment in it is good for the long run.

“If you can save some money and reduce your natural gas bills at the same time and increase the efficiency of the operation, it’s great to be recognized,” he said. “But we’re doing it because it’s the right thing to do for the rate payers.”

After two drug sales, DEA taskforce members followed Saunders to the apartment at 29 South Main St. They arrested Saunders after he left Paquette’s apartment to Big Lots in Essex Jct. to complete a negotiated sale of 100 bags of heroin, court records show.

Police said they found 120 bags of heroin during the arrest, but Saunders denied ownership.

After the arrest, investigators conducted a courtordered search of the Barre apartment and seized 1,030 bags of heroin, 88 grams of raw heroin, 64 grams of crack cocaine and some powder cocaine all inside a Coach bag in a bedroom, Assistant U.S. Attorney Wendy Fuller said in court papers.

Officers also found $10,000 in cash and two firearms, including an assault rifle in the living room couch and a .22 caliber revolver in a jewelry box in the bedroom, Fuller wrote.

Paquette, whose brother works for the DEA, said the handgun was hers, but not the assault rifle, police said.

Saunders was indicted on four heroin sales and one charge of possession with intent to distribute heroin and crack cocaine.

Last Friday, Fuller asked for Saunders to be sentenced to 12.5 years in prison due to the nature of the crime and guns were found, and because Saunders is considered a career criminal under federal law.

Among his felony convictions is an aggravated assault where he shot a person three times, Federal Judge Christina Reiss noted.

Defense attorney Jordana M. Levine said a fiveyear sentence was more appropriate. She objected to claims her client is a career criminal and the amount of drugs the government linked to him.

The federal sentencing guidelines, which are advisory, proposed a penalty between 12.5 and near-

ly 16 years. Reiss said she thought a shorter sentence was proper.

Paquette was initially charged in federal court under the so-called “crack house statute” by making her home available for the distribution and use of illegal drugs, Fuller said. That case was later dropped by the U.S. Attorney’s Office.

While questioning Paquette, DEA agents attempted to use her brother's employment to get her to cooperate, but it did not seem to work, documents show.

Court records hint the relationship between the siblings might be strained.

“She is not a person on Team U.S.A.,” Fuller told the court. “She is in love with [Saunders]. She wants to protect him.”

The Vermont Drug Task Force also linked Paquette, who lived on Pearl Street in Burlington in 2014, to a heroin distribution case involving two men selling heroin from a residence where she stayed, court records show.

The Saunders case dragged on due to its complexity and because the defendant went through five court-appointed lawyers over the past three years.

“My addiction got out of hand,” said Saunders, who reported he had several medical issues related to pain. “I just want to say I'm not a bad person.

“I let my addiction take the best of me," he told Judge Reiss.

Reiss said it appeared Saunders had strong family ties with his children, his mother, daughters and with Paquette.

Saunders will get credit for his three years in prison.

Reiss told Saunders he could get up to a year taken off his sentence if he is accepted into a 500-hour substance abuse treatment program within the Federal Bureau of Prisons, but admission is not automatic.

Saunders also faces a potential parole violation in Pennsylvania when he is released. Fuller urged Reiss not to consider that case and allow authorities there to deal with the violation.

opinion & community LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Gun safety makes sense I grew up in a Vermont hunting family, but it’s still frightening when I hear gunshots – what's the distance or direction? Is the shooter responsible? Are we safe? Nowadays it just makes sense to strictly limit gun use around Essex homes and parks. Perhaps limited hunting during some specific game seasons, with public notices to wear hunter orange. Please, no shooting ranges.

Toni morgan Essex Jct. ordinance changes unjustified Contrary to some stated opinions, hunting and shooting is proven to be safer than badminton for participants and bystanders alike. With no compelling evidence to the contrary, it is unreasonable to justify any change on safety. Ordinance changes should be based on facts. All facts, including safety, support leaving the firearms ordinance alone. Hunting is cited as shooting ranges cannot be affected by the ordinance change.

The board acknowledged this in a public meeting.

1) Regulating hunting is the purview of the state. A recent law overturn in another state indicates it is a good bet some of the existing firearms ordinances that try to affect hunting in Vermont only continue to exist because they have not been challenged. The board heard in a public meeting they could face legal action over ordinance changes.

As a taxpayer, I would hope the board would not risk a lawsuit with public funds, especially when the facts show the majority of participants in every public discussion I've attended have been against regulating hunting through an ordinance change.

2) A board that is willing to restrict specific public activity on any public taxpayerowned property without substantial facts to justify such restriction risks losing the confidence of the taxpayers. Once confidence is lost, it can be very difficult if not impossible to secure future public easements from residents for any purpose. Why would you cede control to the town when it might turn around and prohibit you with that control?

Public property should be open to public activities unless facts show otherwise.

What do you think?

3) The board acknowledged hunting is essential to control wildlife populations.

Prohibiting hunting is already a proven risk to the safety of all residents through disease vectors, collisions and bear interactions, at a minimum. It does not seem prudent to expand an ordinance for safety when the facts show it will clearly impact safety negatively in these areas.

4) Population density outside the village is the same as neighboring communities with no ordinance. The board must ponder objectively why residents should be more burdened with restrictions than our neighbors when the facts show (zero incidents) there is no greater risk.

5) Public areas are increasingly opening up to hunting to secure their ecological future. The Vermont Land Trust specifically encourages hunting on almost 600,000 acres.

To quote: “We want our children, grandchildren, and future generations to enjoy local food, farming, clean air and water, hiking, hunting, forestry, and sugaring.” Once again, the facts show hunting is no greater safety risk than other outdoor activities.

Private land activities should be determined by the owner. Public lands should be open for all users to co-exist and enjoy, not a favored few.

Kendall & Sheila Chamberlin Essex Jct. To hunt or not to hunt I am a hunter and Essex resident that hunts right here in Essex. There are some people that are extreme left and some that are extreme right. As a society, we need to meet in the middle. If you ban all hunting in Essex, then the population of deer, bear, coyotes and so on will increase which will bring more disease and rabies to the animals and a lack of food and in return the animals will be visiting more in heavy residential areas looking for there next meal which could be trash, pets, chickens and so on.

The bad hunters that make poor decisions end up giving the rest of the hunters a bad name, and for this, the people against hunting and guns want to ban everything.

They look at it as “not in my backyard.”

So with that said, if someone driving

a car makes a poor decision and ends up hurting someone else do we ban all cars from the roads and punish the good drivers in the town of Essex? If a snowmobiler makes a bad decision, do we ban all snowmobiles? If someone makes a bad decision driving a four-wheeler, do we ban all fourwheelers? Stop and think about this for a minute: Where do we draw the line? Do we ban everything and just stay home? The town of Essex has some great hunting and many large tracks of land outside of Essex Jct., which are safe to hunt on. It would be a shame to ban hunting and shooting guns in all of Essex. robert Coburn Essex only essex voices matter in ordinance debate Despite the opinion of Brad Kennison in the September 5 edition of the Essex Reporter, some of the 489 signatures he obtained for no change in the shooting ordinance came from out-of-town residents!

PlaceSpeak was an online platform for only residents of Essex town and village to participate in. If pro-change residents obtained signatures who use Saxon Hill to bike, hike and run, we would have thousands!

To obtain correct information on what the Essex Planning Commission is doing, ask to be on the community development mailing list. Go to jbooker@essex.org and ask to be added to the list. You will receive the up to date agenda for the Sept. 27 meeting that will be discussing the Essex Town Plan as its primary business. Dana Hanley is the coordinator. Participate and voice your concern for Route 15 corridor safety leading to R1 area to bike, and run, even with your baby jogger! Sidewalks are a necessity from Whitcomb Meadows to Saxon in order to arrive safely.

Also, kudos to the Essex Park and Rec Department for listing Saxon Hill Trails in the fall recreation catalog! 11,000 of us are thrilled to have received this wonderful advertisement in our mailbox. Thank you.

A quote from Essex Planning Commission web page: “When government officials, business leaders and citizens come together

to build communities that enrich people’s lives, that’s planning.” - American Planning Association.

Patty davis Essex in favor of shooting ordinance changes I am very much in favor of making changes to the present ordinance regarding the discharge of firearms in the area surrounding Indian Brook and Saxon Hill.

It is not only reasonable for the selectboard to make these proposed changes, it is necessary to ensure the safety of our community given the increase in population density and recreational use of these areas over the last several years.

This is not about gun control. I have owned guns, have hunted and enjoy shooting. This is about limiting the discharge of weapons during hunting season only so that all citizens can enjoy these two regions safely.

Jane donahue davis Turner brings experience to the table Throughout my 17 years representing the people of Essex in the Vermont House of Representatives, I have had the opportunity to work with Rep. Don Turner on many issues. Don has been a leading champion for economic expansion, fiscal responsibility and pro-growth policies in our state.

Over the years I’ve been impressed with Don’s ability to unite people of different viewpoints. Don brings a wealth of experience to the important issues Vermonters are facing. As a legislator, House Minority Leader, Milton town manager, first responder and fourth-generation Vermonter, he is able to see things from many different perspectives to foster collaboration.

Now, more than ever, we are facing a leadership gap in the legislature. We need someone who will work across party lines to get things done. That is why I hope you will join me in voting for Don Turner for lieutenant governor. rep. linda myers Essex

OBITUARIES & IN MEMORIAM

AnnmArie (Ann) Clifford Feb. 11, 1959 – Aug. 31, 2018 ESSEX – Ann Clifford, wife of Robert Clifford, passed away at the VNA Respite House on Aug. 31, 2018 while giving cancer “a much needed kick in the ass.” Ann celebrated life an additional seven years thanks to the amazing team of dedicated nurses at UVM Medical Center, the staff of the chemo ward and Dr. Wong and his team in gynecological oncology. A special thanks to Nurse Kim for always being available to help in a moment’s notice. Ann passed with her loving husband at her side under the compassionate care of the staff at the respite house. During her long fight, friends and family would often forget

lorrAine J. GArlAnd FAIRFAX – Mrs. Lorraine J. Garland, age 67, passed away unexpectedly Thursday, Aug. 30, 2018 at the University of Vermont Medical Center. She was born in Pittsfield, Mass. on Dec. 23, 1950, daughter of

her medical issues stating she “looks great” and acts the same, full of life. Bob stated that even as we progressed through the final stages, Ann was cheating cancer and death by looking better every day. Her beauty is unsurpassed.

Ann worked for the U.S. Postal Service in Essex and Burlington for seven years.

She enjoyed her bookkeeping and being a “Jack of all trades” at Vermont Toy and Hobby with her friend Linda for 18 years.

She loved to sew, cook, paint, party, celebrate and bake (especially Christmas cookies to share with loved ones). Knitting was her escape during treatment times when she would knit hats and mittens for premature babies, newborns and other cancer patients at UVM Medical Center. Ann was extremely modest and considered her unrelenting desire to help others just a normal human trait. We knew better that she was indeed a very special woman.

Ann could not have endured her fight without the love of her life, husband Bob. His caring compassion, love and support were second to none (Ann’s words).

Traveling to Jamaica, sup-

porting her Jamaican family, fine dining, crafts, motherhood, margarita creations and playing cribbage were highlights of her life’s pleasures. Ann loved to spontaneously plan trips and vacation adventures. Whether going to Connecticut to see her sister Dee, taking Bob to a casino or going to Sweptaway in Jamaica, Ann lived every minute of every day loving life. Cancer may have hastened her departure from all that loved Ann, but it never stole a moment that could be celebrated. Ann always gave of herself selflessly “fixing” any problem anyone presented to her.

This world has lost a special soul but gained multiple lights of hope and love that will burn on forever in others.

Ann is survived by her mom, Ruth Cheney, of Massachusetts; her dad, David Cheney, of Florida; daughters Kelley Garrow, husband, Reid, and granddaughter, Kiera Cruickshank; Carrie Clifford and granddaughter, Pepper; and Samantha Clifford and granddog, Storm; by her sisters Diane Barnett of Somers, Mass., Sheri Devin of Buffalo N.Y.; by her brothers Art Cheney of

Massachusetts and Patrick Cheney of Saratoga, N.Y., and by many nieces and nephews.

Ann, who helped craft this obituary to ease the burden on her loved ones, leaves one final request in her memory. Simply stated: “Put down your phone, and live your life, kill them with kindness, smile and do what you love and do it often ♥.”

As was Ann’s wishes, there will be no funeral, no wake and no graveside service. Ann would like all her friends, family and friends of the family to come together for a party. To break bread and raise a glass in her honor please join us at The Barn at Lang Farm, Essex, Vt. on Saturday, Sept.

29, 2018 at 5 p.m. Dinner and appetizers, casual dress and libations will be provided.

We have set up a Facebook donation account (under Robert Clifford) for the Gynecological Oncology Department at the UVM Medical Center to continue the fight against cancer. Arrangements are in the care of the Cremation Society of Chittenden County. To send online condolences to her family, please visit www.cremationsocietycc.com.

the late Donald and Isabel (Larche) Boutin. On Nov. 21, 1970, she married Michael Garland.

Lorraine worked in many different capacities in her life, to include a computer programmer for business software, and as an elementary school teacher. Her enjoyments included going to flea markets, garage sales, making jewelry, traveling, and most important to her was spending time with her grandchildren and her puppy, Gypsy.

Lorraine is survived by children Dana Wesson and husband, Scott Wesson, of Waterville and Regan Perry of Fairfax; by five grandchildren and five great-grandchildren; by her brothers Kenneth Boutin

and wife, Melanie, of Georgia; John Boutin and wife, Marivic, of Virginia Beach, Va.; Neal Boutin and wife, Cathy, of Merritt Island, Fla. and Alan Boutin of Fairfax; by her sisters Joan Sparks and husband, Robert, of Fairfax; Pauline Boutin of St Albans; Pamela Vecchitto and husband, Bill, of Lakewood, Wa.; Patricia Merritt and husband, Wade, of Fairfax; and Mary Combs and husband, Orval, of Fairfax.

She also leaves her brotherin-law Brian Garland and his wife, Beth, of Georgia and her sister-in-law Sandra Cimorelli of Hoosick Falls, N.Y. She was predeceased by her parents, her husband, Michael Garland; her brother Robert Boutin, her son-inlaw Robbie Perry, her broth-

er-in-law John Garland and her sister-in-law Susan (Garland) Raine.

A funeral service of Christian burial will be held Wednesday, Sept. 5 at 11 a.m. in the Brady & Levesque Funeral Chapel.

Bove’s to dish up classics at Milton sauce plant

By MADELINE CLARK

B

ove’s is back.

Starting October 5, Vermont’s oldest family-owned Italian restaurant will open its Milton sauce factory doors to dish up classics in an initiative owners are calling “Flashback Friday.”

“We’ll see how this goes,” owner Mark Bove said with a laugh. “If we have a flashback of duress from running the restaurant, we’ll say, ‘It’s limited.’”

Flashback Friday will occur the first Friday of each month and consist of a rotating menu of Bove’s original recipes served in its Milton manufacturing plant dining room, spokeswoman Emily McMahon said.

According to Bove, the events will honor Bove’s commitment to affordable familystyle dining.

“We have heard from customers that they missed us,” McMahon said. “And we missed them.”

Bove stressed while Flashback Friday is reminiscent of Bove’s Café, it doesn’t signal a reopening of the restaurant, the downtown Burlington landmark that closed in 2015. The event’s success will be gauged via an online ticket purchasing system and will, in part, determine its longevity.

The plant where Flashback Friday will take place most recently entertained loyal customers and friends at a “Bove’s Homecoming” event on Saturday. The celebration marked the company’s return to Vermont after moving its wholesale production wholly in-state.

The event featured food trucks dishing up fare using Bove’s sauces, pony rides, a clown and bounce-house for kids, Burlington-based band Shake and speeches from the Bove family as well as Gov. Phil Scott.

“They’ve given a lot to us as a state,” Scott said, citing the Boves’ contributions as growing the economy, making the state more affordable and protecting the vulnerable.

PHOTO BY COLIN FLANDERS

Mark Bove addresses the crowd at Bove's Homecoming event at the Milton sauce plant last Saturday.

“The traditions that they carry through with quality says a lot about Vermont,”

Scott said. “We value our food, we value that work ethic.”

Although the plant and event space have been open for two years, Bove felt a homecoming event was not appropriate until the company had resettled.

“I wanted it to feel homey,” he said, detailing the time and care that went in to honoring his father’s 75-year-old Burlington space. Remnants from the original dining room fill the new space and old kitchenware breathes once more.

The factory employs two of its original café staff plus four new hires and is currently seeking another worker. While operations have grown to include crafting and packing sauces for other companies and the state’s schools, McMahon said each batch of marinara is still taste-tested for quality by one of the Bove brothers.

“We’ve never forgotten where we’ve come from,” Bove said. “We wouldn’t be here without our supporters.”

Furthermore, live in a community that is supportive of the military and has great access to outdoor recreation year-round.

(Wolfe) gave me the ball, and I had to make a play,” Keselowski said. Truex finished last at Indy. “Hopefully we’ll get this bad luck out of the way before the playoffs start next week,” he said.

Of all the teams in the NASCAR Cup Series, StewartHaas Racing has the edge as far as pure numbers. SHR saw all four of its drivers make the playoffs, led by Kevin Harvick, who has a series-high eight wins. As a team, SHR scooped up 11 regular-season victories.

Almirola advanced into the playoffs on points. Joe Gibbs Racing and Hendrick Motorsports each pushed three drivers into the postseason.

Along with a commitment to quality and locally sourced food—we’re proud to offer a program that enables seniors to remain healthy, independent, and at home—where they want to be.

Hot and thick weather early last week, practices and games were postponed and cancelled, and then a break in the weather last weekend. First home football game is in the books. Another successful Brady Tourney. Cross country rolling along. The first full week of school this week. NFL kicked of its season as did college football.

We also had an Essex High School icon retired last week as well.

The Essex girls’ cross country team won the Burlington High School Invitational on Saturday by totaling 58 pts. Natalie Preston finished 8th with Lizzie Martell 11th, and Hannah Brisson 13th as the first Hornets across the finish line. The JVs also won scoring 38 pts. Mollyanne Fay ran 2nd, Ary Wilson 3rd and Alessandra Michaelidas 6th to lead the team. The varsity boys rested their top eight runners, and the next guys up raced well. The top seven JV runners then ran in the varsity race and impressively placed fourth. Walker Stapleton was the first across in 22nd, Kurt Dirmaier 26th, Atticus Phinney-Anderson 34th, newcomer Nathan Wu 36th and Ethan Boutin 44th followed. Val Laverty was 47th and Jaron Cummings 53rd rounded out the top seven. The JV’s were second in their race with Lucius Karki 9th. This squad is deep and talented.

The Essex Middle School boys were middle school boys champions with 60 pts as Griffin Larson ran 3rd. Scarlet Stimson was 7th with the girls placing sixth. No ADL teams competed.

The boys’ golf team started 5-0 winning their first two matches. Brennan Moreau was medalist in the first match.

They will have two more this week. The girls opened in Enosburg and play twice this week at Vt. National and Ralph Myhre in Middlebury. I hit the Links with Alex Simard last Wednesday for nine holes - the boy can drive a ton!

The football team, 0-2, fell to St. Johnsbury 41-21 in its home opener last Friday night. The Hornets showed flashes of brilliance as they led 14-13 during the second quarter. They host CVU Friday. The JV’s were tied 6-6 vs Colchester High School at the half, but they ended up losing their opener 36-6. Their lone score was quarterback Ben Serrantonio’s touchdown toss to Sam Bowen. The frosh team hosts MIDD in their frist game this week.

The varsity girls’ soccer team is 1-0-1 and host Burr & Burton before they travel down Rte. 7 to Rutland on Saturday. Same schedule for the JV girls. The JV-B team hosts CVU on Monday.

The varsity boys’ soccer team went 2-0 last week upping their record to 3-0. Identical 3-1 wins in the Brady Tourney over Rutland and Rice. Spencer Towle scored once in the win over Raiders. Peter Osiecki and Adam Lyon buried penalty kicks.

Gordon Schmalz made six saves. On Saturday Spencer Towle, Stefan Digangi, and speedster Ryan Guerino all scored in the win. They play in Hinesburg on Friday. The JVs clubbed Rutland 7-0 in their fall opener.

No score for the Rice game. The JV-B squad opened Tuesday at Winooski, they host MMU Thursday and CVU Monday 4:30 p.m. at the Essex Tree Farm.

The field hockey team won back-toback 2-1 games last week. The first was in OT over South Burlington. Cory Weimer scored the game winner four minutes into the extra session. Maddie Reed scored and added an assist, Ellie Reed had an assist, goalkeepr Kaylan Ferreira stopped 11 shots. The JV girls tied SB 0-0 the beat B&B 2-0. Rachel Chan scored off an assist from Addie Deming. Then Deming score with the assist to Tilly Krishna. The JVB girls fell 3-1 to CVU and are 0-2. Madison McCuin scored their lone goal.

The boys’ volleyball team is 1-0 after a 3-1 win over SB. No Enosburg score reported. They play Vermont Commons and CVU this week. The varsity girls shutout Lyndon Institute 3-0 25-13, 25-18, 25-7 and are 1-0. Jazmin Munson led the Hornets with 11 kills and six blocks. This week’s opponents will be Mid-Vt. Christian.

Dez Bryant needs to zip it. Cam Newton is a baby. NYG look awful except for their rookie running back. Tom Brady seems to be getting younger.

Happy Birthday Nancy Chalmers, former MSP and SHP LG Alyssa Cioffi Jacobs, N.H. friend Janet Luica, SHP WSI Beverly Briley, former two-time shot put state champ and current Oregon high school track and field coach Bruce Flaker, ex-University of New Haven track and field coach Jim Barber, Essex educator Brook Taft Robbins, Jen Murk, Carmen Tall and Victoria Black.

Retirement congratulations to Nancy Chalmers who is loving life at the lake after more than 30 years of service to the Essex and EHS school systems. Nancy started in the Town working with a young lady 1-on-1 as a para educator for more than four years. She had other students for multiple school years then took over for Jean Bosworth as the go-to gal in special education. She outlasted a few department chairs and central office bosses. Now she can devote more time to her main focus in life: matriarch of the Chalmers’ family. She is like family, I love her dearly and want to publicly thank her for her years in education. Enjoy!

ith a Play of the Year-level winning goal Sept. 6 and the first of three straight Essex scores two nights later, Towle led the Hornets to deceptively tight 3-1 victories over Rutland and Rice in the Jay Brady Kickoff Classic. In the season opener against the Red Raiders, Towle snapped a 1-1 deadlock with 16 minutes left in regulation after dancing through a string of defenders in the penalty area before snapping a shot just inside the left post for the lead. Against Rice, the Hornets trailed 1-0 when Towle connected on a 25-yard free kick to tie it, followed by scores from Stefan Digangi and Ryan Guerino for the victory. Essex had also trailed against Rutland before Peter Osiecki's PK, and Adam Lyon sealed the win in the final minutes with another from the spot.
