Quarry setback proposal opposed by operators By Krystle S. Morey Area slate company owners and Poultney, Vermont officials are still at odds over proposed town bylaws that would regulate mining and change the way the industry does business there. About 30 local quarrymen attended the Poultney Planning Commission’s meeting Monday to dispute the proposed zoning amendments, particularly one that calls for a 200-foot setback from any existing homes. The commission and industry leaders were able to reach common ground

feet. But they were not able to agree on the required setback of all pits, dumps, buildings, to any residential structure or property line. Proposed zoning would require a setback of 200 feet, but even Planning Commission members disagreed on that length. Figures n Craig Markcrow, including 100 feet and 45 feet, as President of Vermont Structural Slate proposed by the slaters, were also tossed around in discussion. “When you start limiting 200 feet of our property, that’s a large limiof sufficient height and strength for tation,” said Joe Taran of Taran every access point to deny access to the public around any pit or excavation; and See SLATE, pg. 2 limit the height of slate waste piles to 40 on several aspects of the bylaws, including those that would demand barriers

“You have to balance one homeowner’s thing with 40 people depending on that quarry … or else we will be shut down”

Lincoln’s birthday deadline looms for Hildene essay competition The deadline for area students’ essays to be considered for a the Hildene Lincoln Essay Competition is President Lincoln’s birthday, Thursday, Feb. 12. Each student’s essay and application must arrive by mail or by hand at Hildene on or before the deadline. The concept of what it means to be a patriotic American can sometimes lead to heated debate. In his time, President Lincoln was viewed as both a traitor and a patriot. Many Americans, particularly those in the southern and border states, believed his actions to abolish slavery threatened their economic livelihood and flew in the face of the Constitution and their idea of American freedom. Others came to view the president as the epitome of patriotism because he wished to preserve the Union at all costs and because he knew the Union could not allow slavery and be a true democracy with justice for all: the “last best hope of Earth.” Today the nation is deeply divided on many issues. Among them is the concept of patriotism, which Merriam-Webster, 2017 defines as “love for or devotion to one’s country.” With this definition in mind the students who accept the challenge this year are required to answer the following prompt in no more than 500 words:

- Describe a current or recent event in which the actions of a participant(s) may be viewed as patriotic by some and as unpatriotic by others. - Discuss the differing points of view. What is your position and why? Essays will be evaluated by a panel of judges. Winners will be notified by March 31. A celebratory luncheon will take place at Hildene on Sunday, May 20. The first, second and third place winners will read their essays aloud and receive their awards: first place, $1,000; second place, $750; third place, $500; and up to ten honorable mentions of $200 each. Hildene is open 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. daily. In fall 2017, application packets for the twelfth Hildene Lincoln Essay Competition were distributed to teachers of eighth grade English, history, and social studies, and to librarian and homeschool networks throughout Vermont. With all materials available on line at hildene.org/schools. html, interested students are still able to enter the competition independently as well. If students have questions or would like to receive a packet by mail, call Stephanie at 802367-7960 or email stephanie@ hildene.org. This Hildene program is supported by Perfect Wife and Spiral Press Café.

Brothers Slate Co. “I have a strip of land that’s 400 feet wide,” Taran said. “So, technically, if I am restricted 200 feet, I can’t use the land. If there was a house right next to that, which preexisted on both sides, my land is useless.” There are not preexisting homes, built before 1995, on either side of Taran’s property, but he gave the example he said to show what a 200-foot setback would mean for the industry. “For a quarry property, 200 feet from all of their lines is unreasonable,” said Ernie DeMatties, commission member. “We are trying to establish reasonable setbacks,” said Neal Vreeland, town attorney and commission member. “You have to balance one homeowner’s thing with 40 people depending on that quarry … or else we will be shut down,” said Craig E. Markcrow, owner and president of Vermont Structural Slate Co. Added Markcrow: “Most of the quarries would be effectively shut down if your proposal was put into effect.” The quarrymen suggested a setback of 40 feet in a written proposal, but the Poultney Select Board denied it in December, and tasked the Planning Commission to work with the slaters to establish common ground. “I think that’s too close to a residential,” DeMatties said. He pointed to the rear of the Poultney High School library where the Jan. 29 meeting was held: “That’s saying from right here, to the back of this room, you can have a pit … and you can blast and do what you

want. I don’t think that’s reasonable.” “One hundred feet is a little more reasonable,” he added. Officials also disagreed on whether the setback should be measured from the property line or the residential structure. The setback affects each property line where there is a residence, not the entire property’s perimeter. “It’s unreasonable to say 200 feet all of the way around,” DeMatties said. “All we are trying to do is protect preexisting houses,” said Mark Teeter, commission chairman. “There may be 10 of them. There may be 20 of them.” Pattie McCoy, member of the Planning Commission and Poultney, Vermont state representative, echoed Teeter’s point: “If you have a lot right next to your quarry and there’s not home on it after these are passed, it’s not a preexisting home. They are going to purchase that property knowing that there is a slate quarry next to it.” Many of Poultney’s quarries, those registered before Jan. 1, 1997, are exempt from local zoning and planning regulations under Act 250, Vermont’s Land Use and Development Act. The commission is tasked with deciding whether an Act 250 exemption will allow those grandfathered quarries to be immune to local regulations. “As a board, do we adopt the idea that if you’re grandfathered from Act 250 the local zoning doesn’t apply?” posed Vreeland. “Eventually we are going to have to vote on this.” “If people buy a piece of property new, they should look into it. They should know what they are buying,” DeMatties said. Added McCoy: “This is not

for any future houses. We are trying to protect those residents that may have a quarry operating. We are trying to protect their property lines … 200 feet from their property lines, so they still continue the use and enjoyment of their property line.” “By protecting that, you are also taking away probably many times more value from the slate quarry property,” Markcrow said. Officials and industry workers in attendance did not have a number residences that would be affected by a change in the setback. Teeter said: “We are trying to get a count of how many houses this is going to affect.” “We are not going to be able to answer that on the spot. That is something that has to be researched. I can’t tell you what the house situation is next to us,” Markcrow answered. Commission members asked the quarrymen in attendance to make a list of homes neighboring their mining properties to help gauge how many local mining properties would be affected. Jonathan Hill, of Green Stone Slate Company, expressed his concern with protecting preexisting homes. “I know my neighbors are decent people, but if one of them sells their house to someone who doesn’t like the slate business, your rules put me out,” Hill said. “I don’t think that’s fair.” The Planning Commission will host another public hearing on the zoning bylaws on Feb. 19 at 6 p.m. in the Poultney High School Library. Once its proposal is finished, it will submit it to the town’s Select Board for consideration.

Buckets can be returned Feb. 26 to March 2 to Williams Hardware or the Poultney Public Library. Beginning the week of March 12, the sap buckets will help dress the storefronts of Poultney. A silent auction of the sap buckets will be held during Maplefest on Saturday, March 24. Viewing and bidding will take place from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the Poultney American Legion Post #39.

Funds will benefit both the Poultney Rotary and Stone Valley Arts. There will also be prizes, donated by Telescope Casual and Centers Healthcare of Granville, for “Best in Show” and two youth categories (1) PreK–6th grade and (2) Junior High–College. For additional information, email stonevalleyartscenter@ gmail.com or valeriesfour@ yahoo.com.

Paul Asbell at Brandon Music Feb. 10 Paul Asbell will perform music from his three solo albums at Brandon Music on Saturday, Feb. 10. The concert, which starts at 7:30 p.m., is $20 to attend. A pre-concert dinner is available for $25. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. The venue is bring-your-own-beer. This event is a part of Vermont Arts 2018, celebrating arts in Vermont. From his early years, playing blues on Chicago’s South Side, to his present multi-faceted career based out of northern Vermont, Asbell has earned an underground reputation as a true “musician’s

musician”. Guitar Player Magazine acknowledges that most solo acoustic guitarists usually specialize in one genre, but “with steady hands and a relaxed sense of swing, [Asbell] tackles bouncy ragtime fingerpicking, crisp flatpicking, and lush, jazzy chording with equal aplomb….;” evidence that he is not your average solo acoustic guitarist. ‘Steel String Americana’, ‘Roots and Branches’ and ‘From Adamant to Atchafalaya’ received numerous rave reviews for their highly individualized twists on blues and jazz standards, old-timey country-based themes and original pieces

from the “American roots” tradition. The Flynn Theater called them “A genre-blurring, virtuosic waltz through the deep heritage of American folklore, where styles of Robert Johnson, Doc Watson and Dr. John rub elbows with those of Joe Pass and Bill Frisell.” Others have said “It is quite the best CD of acoustic guitar that I have heard in years!” Call 802-247-4295 or e-mail info@brandon-music.net for reservations or for more information. Brandon Music is located at 62 Country Club Road in Brandon. Visit brandon-music.net for additional information.

Mettawee students compete in spelling bee The Mettawee Community School held its school-level competition of the National Geographic Bee on Wednesday, Jan. 24. Seven finalists represented grades 4-6. MCS Principal Brooke DeBonis said she was very proud of the students on stage, “It was competitive, without being stressful, to get into the finals. You could see how hard all the students were working while on stage. They handled themselves very well, and this helps younger students look forward to taking part in the Geography Bee.” The seven finalists were: Gwenyth Lutz (Gr.4 - first year),

Rowan Hughes-Muse (Gr. 5 second year), Aliza Marcus (Gr. 5 - first year), John Smith (Gr. 5 - second year), Nate Cole (Gr. 6 first year), Tucker Haynes (Gr. 6 - third year) and Julianna Porter (Gr. 6 - first year). Mark Rampone, a Mettawee grade 3 teacher, organized the school level Geographic Bee.

Mettawee Community School’s 2018 National Geographic Bee school-level results are: Tucker Haynes,

School Champion, Nate Cole, Runner-up, and John Smith, 3rd place. Tucker will take a placement test before Feb. 2, and then be notified by March 2 about his entry into the state level Geography Bee.

Attendees are permitted to bring their own alcoholic beverages. “We encourage parents if they bring their children, to watch them, since there will be alcohol on the premises,”

Saturday: See a musical, help needy families Quilters, the musical, is coming to Dorset on Saturday, Feb. 10 The show will be held at the Fellowship Hall, United Church of Dorset and East Rupert, located at 143 Church St. in Dorset. Quilters begins at 3 p.m. Don’t miss this tender, moving play about a pioneer woman and her daughters. Quilters skillfully blends a series of interrelated scenes into a memorable musical. Each scene is introduced by a quilt square or block symbolic of life’s passages. During each block, the actresses skillfully transform into many different characters whose stories depict the lot of women on the prairie. Combining music, dance and drama, Quilters captures both the harsh challenges and the

abiding rewards of frontier life with vivid dramatic intensity. In addition, local quilters will have some of their quilts on display, providing a wonderful backdrop for this show. Busy that day? In all, there will be two more opportunities to see the show. On Saturday, March 10 Quilters will show at the Brandon Inn, located at 20 Park St. in Brandon and on Saturday, April 7, the musical will be held at the College of St. Joseph Library, located at 71 Clement Rd. in Rutland. Quilters is being presented by a consortium of Rutland Area women who have been involved in all aspects of local school and/or community theater for decades. Director Jennifer Bagley and

Music Director Rita Lane have assembled a cast of talented actresses with beautiful voices including: Marsha Cassel, Melissa Chesnut-Tangerman, Julia Doiron, Mikki Lane, Maureen Sullivan and Tegan Waite. Quilters is a play that has long been a passion of theirs, not only because some are quilters themselves, but because it tells the universal story of the struggle of pioneer women on the frontier. And although women may no longer be on the frontier, many still face daily challenges of poverty, abuse, and discrimination. General admission will be by freewill offering. All profits will be donated to the Rutland County Women’s Network and Shelter - now renamed the New Story Center.

Elevator plans The Pember Library and Museum is adding an elevator to its building to enable visitors of all ability levels to visit. Currently, an outdoor ramp is available to patrons with wheelchairs and infant strollers to access the first-floor library. The secondfloor museum is accessible only by a large flight of stairs. The elevator will be built at ground level on the west side of the existing building. The enclosed structure will extend out 16 feet, with a glass partition between the two buildings. The proposed construction calls for an about 26-feet deep structure with a 14-by-12-foot metal canopy at the front. The design of the addition will mimic that of the existing building. Construction is set to begin this spring.

British theatre comes to Manchester Saturday National Theatre Live, the best of British theatre broadcast to cinemas around the world, comes to Burr and Burton Academy’s Riley Center for the Arts on Saturday, Feb. 10 at 3 p.m. Tickets are $18 for adults, $12 for seniors and $8 for students. Tickets may be purchased online at bbatickets. com. Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning is excit-

ed to offer the screening of Young Marx. It’s 1850, and Europe’s most feared terrorist is hiding in Dean Street, Soho. Broke and restless, the 32-yearold revolutionary is a frothing combination of intellectual brilliance, invective, satiric wit and child-like emotional illiteracy. Creditors, spies, rival revolutionary factions and prospective seducers of his beautiful wife all circle like vul-

tures. His writing blocked, his marriage dying, his friend Engels in despair at his wasted genius, his only hope is a job on the railway. But there’s still no one in the capital who can show you a better night on the town than Karl Heinrich Marx. National Theatre Live is sponsored by Aviva and distributed internationally by New York-based BYExperience.

Gelli plate workshop Saturday Green Mountain Academy for Lifelong Learning welcomes Jane MacKugler to lead a one-day workshop on Gelli Plate Monoprinting. The class will take place on Saturday, Feb. 10 from 1-4 p.m. at Equinox Village. The Gelli Plate looks and feels like gelatin, but is durable, reusable and stores at room temperature. It’s easy to clean and always ready for printing, which makes monoprinting on a Gelli plate simple and fun. The gratification is immediate, and the prints are too cool.

Different sizes of Gelli plates with acrylic paints and a variety of stencils, stamps, vegetation, household items, and whatever else we can find to create fun designs on paper and boxes will be used. Attendees are encouraged to bring along an old shirt or apron, any old gift boxes, anything that might make an interesting pattern, and imagination. Preregistration is required and costs $50. For more information or to register, call 802-867-0111 or visit greenmtnacademy.org.

Fair Haven teen among student lobbyists High school students from across the state marched to the Vermont Statehouse on Tuesday and met with lawmakers to speak out against the dangerous influence flavored tobacco has on Vermont’s kids and teens. The members of the youthled organization Our Voices Xposed (OVX) come to Montpelier each year to discuss the challenges youth face in staying tobacco-free in Vermont. The students – representing 17 high schools – followed the march with a rally on the steps of the Statehouse that was punctuated with speeches by OVX members Emily Dugan of Fair Haven High School, Joseph Vineyard of St. Johnsbury Academy, and Hawa Adam from Burlington High School. The student group was also introduced on the floor of the House of Representatives by So. Burlington Representative Ann Pugh, and later met with legislators, presenting displays and information about how flavored tobacco products are marketed to young Vermonters. Based upon data from the Federal Trade Commission, the tobacco industry spends an estimated $17 million each year to market products in Vermont — with flavors like cherry, banana, chocolate, blueberry, and other candy and fruit flavors that appeal directly to kids and teens. In Vermont, more than 85 percent of tobacco retailers sell at least one of these flavored tobacco products. These products, such as individually sold cigarillos (lit-

tle cigars), can cost very little to buy. It’s the enticement of the flavors that concerns Fair Haven student Emily Dugan. “My little brother is 10 years old, meaning he’s impressionable. He likes ‘yummy’ flavors, as do so many other kids. Flavored tobacco just gives Vermont youth a reason to try it,” Dugan said. Flavors in cigarettes have been banned since 2009, but they are promoted in other tobacco products, such as cigarillos, cigars, dip, chew and e-cigarettes. According to Rhonda Williams, tobacco control chief at the Vermont Department of Health, this marketing works. “Youth consistently report flavors as the leading cause for trying e-cigarettes and cigars,” said Williams. “Our data show that youth in Vermont are twice as likely as adults to say they would try a flavored tobacco product over a non-flavored one.” Williams explained that the pervasiveness of tobacco marketing that appeals to young people is one reason the Health Department is promoting its CounterBalance campaign. “CounterBalance calls attention to the dangers of flavored tobacco products, and helps educate the public and policymakers about this threat to the health and wellness of our kids and teens.” Hawa Adams, a student at Burlington High School agrees with this focus. “I am concerned about flavored tobacco because I’ve witnessed its impact on my close family, friends and community members. I do not wish for it to continue to deceive millions more. I do not want to see anyone else get hurt.”

CELEBRATING THEIR 108TH YEAR

SALUTE TO NATIONAL BOY SCOUT WEEK TH

FEBRUARY 4 -10

Scouting: a history of community service The Boy Scouts of America, incorporated Feb. 8, 1910, and chartered by Congress in 1916, is an educational program designed for boys and young adults to build character, to train in the responsibilities of participating citizenship, and to develop personal fitness. Locally, Scouts in Washington County are part of the Wakpominee District, which encompasses Warren, Washington and Southern Essex counties. The district serves the 1,405 Scouts and 400 adult leaders of its 28 Cub Scout Packs, 30 Boy Scout Troops, three Venturing crews and one Explorer Post. Local Scouts are fortunate enough to have easy access to Camp Wakpominee in Fort Ann. The camp, which hosts organized summer programs and provides for year-round use, has three ponds, a lake and 840 acres on the southern edge of the Adirondacks. It is also a training ground for instructors and national camp school graduates. The camp meets the needs of all Scouts, from Cub Scouts to Eagle Scouts. The Wakpominee District is one of seven districts under the Twin Rivers Council, which is responsible for all Scouting activities in Albany, Clinton, Columbia, Franklin, Fulton, Hamilton, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Saratoga, Schenectady, Warren, Washington and Essex counties. Community-based organizations receive national charters to use the Scouting program as a part of their own youth work. These groups, which have goals compatible with those of the BSA, include religious, educational, civic, fraternal, business and labor organizations; governmental bodies; corporations; professional associations; and citizens’ groups. Scouting encompasses a number of separate programs, all of them run year-round and separated by age groups. The Tiger Cubs program encourages the ethical decision-making skills for first-grade (or 7-year-old)

boys. These boys participate in the program with their adult partners. The program emphasizes shared leadership, learning about the community, and family understanding. Cub Scouts focuses on developing ethical decisionmaking skills for boys in the second through fifth grade (or who are 8, 9, and 10 years old). Activities emphasize character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness. Webelos Scouts develops ethical decision-making skills for fourth- and fifth-grade (or 10-year-old) boys. Webelos Scouts participate in more advanced activities that begin to prepare them to become Boy Scouts. Boy Scouts is for boys 11 through 17 and designed to achieve the aims of Scouting through a vigorous outdoor program and peer group leadership with the counsel of an adult Scoutmaster. (Boys also may become Boy Scouts if they have earned the Cub Scouting Arrow of Light Award and are at least 10 years old or have completed the fifth grade.) Venturing is for young men and women who are 14 (and have completed the eighth grade) through 20 years of age to provide positive experiences through exciting and meaningful youth-run activities that help them pursue their special interests, grow by teaching others and develop leadership skills. The mission of the BSA is to prepare young people to make ethical and moral choices over their lifetimes by instilling in them the values of the Scout Oath and Scout Law. The Scout Oath is: “On my honor I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country and to obey the Scout Law; to help other people at all times; to keep myself physically

strong, mentally awake, and morally straight.” The Scout Law says: “A Scout is trustworthy, loyal, helpful, friendly, courteous, kind, obedient, cheerful, thrifty, brave, clean and reverent.” Volunteer adult leaders serve at all levels of Scouting in more than 300 local councils, 30 areas, and four regions, a n d nationally w i t h volunteer executive boards and committees p r o v i d i n g guidance. Each autonomous local council is chartered by the BSA, which provides program and training aids along the guidelines established by the National Executive Board and the national charter from Congress. Cub Scouting is where it all begins. Ninety-five percent of all Boy Scouts participated in Cub Scouting at some time. Cub Scouting strengthens the family, encourages physical fitness, and teaches core values to live by through its program. A thrilling outdoor program starts in Cub Scouting with day camps, resident camps, council-organized camps, pack camping, and the fabulous make-believe themes of Cub World venues such as castles, frontier forts, pirate ships and more. Boy Scouts, Varsity Scouts, and Venturers have many special activities available to them, such as jamborees, summer camps, and Scouting shows. The Order of the Arrow, Scouting’s national camping honor society, recognizes those Scout campers who best exemplify the Scout Oath and Law in their daily lives. The order has local lodge, section, and national meetings. Scouts who have become Eagle Scouts, the highest advancement award in Scouting, may join the National Eagle Scout

Association. All Scout camps are inspected and accredited annually by teams of trained volunteers to ensure the health, safety and quality of program for campers. In terms of financial support, on the unit level, chartered organizations that use the Scouting program provide meeting places and often furnish program materials and other facilities. Youth members help to pay their own way by paying dues to their pack, troop, team, ship, or crew treasuries, and through approved moneyearning projects, they can earn additional income for their units. Local councils are supported by donors through an annual Friends of Scouting campaign, the United Way, special events, product sales, foundation grants, investment income, bequests, endowment gifts, and special contributions. BSA runs three National High Adventure Bases, including Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico, which is the most wellknown. The Northern Tier Base is located in Minnesota and Canada, and offers wilderness canoe expeditions and coldweather camping, and Sea Base offers aquatics programs in the Florida Keys.
