Guest  editorial

Questions  on  single-­payer Gov.  Peter  Shumlin  recently  took  the  unusual  step  of  addressing  both  the  Senate  and  House  health  care  committees  to  talk  about  Vermont  Health  Con-­ nect  and  how  the  state  needs  to  prepare  itself  for  Green  Mountain  Care,  the  state’s  single-­payer  health  care  plan.

He  made  the  trip  because  the  issue  dominates  all  others.  How  it  is  man-­ aged  will  affect  the  careers  of  many  of  those  who  spend  their  time  under  the  dome  in  Montpelier.  It’s  time  to  pay  attention.

This  isn’t  inconsequential  stuff.  Done  poorly,  it  could  rob  the  country  of  a  good  example.  Done  poorly,  it  could  threaten  the  state’s  economic  base.

It’s  understood  that  no  one  begins  a  task  with  the  purpose  of  doing  some-­ thing  poorly.  But  it  can  happen  when  the  questions  aren’t  asked,  and  when  leaders  assume  things  they  shouldn’t  assume.  It  happens  when  the  public  is  not  properly  informed.

That’s  Vermont’s  circumstance  as  we  speak.  Almost  no  one  understands  what  is  being  proposed  with  the  single-­payer  system;͞  that  is,  who  pays,  how  much  and  for  what  service.  What  we  have  is  a  concept:  that  somehow  we  can  rebuild  what  we  have,  pay  for  it  and  manage  it  through  a  single-­payer  system,  and  provide  better  care  for  all.  All  this  for  less  money  than  we  spend  now.  Meanwhile,  we  couldn’t  man-­ age  the  technology  required  to  allow  people  to  register  on  the  state’s  Ver-­ mont  Health  Connect  website.  Even  today,  the  system  can’t  process  pay-­ ments.  That  doesn’t  instill  a  lot  of  faith  in  the  state’s  plan  to  take  over  and  run  a  $6  billion  a  year  health  care  system.

To  get  the  public  to  buy  in  will  require  a  quantum  leap  in  the  information  presently  available.  And  it  will  require  the  sort  of  robust  political  debate  uncomfortable  to  this  Legislature.  Most  already  have  their  minds  made  up.  That’s  a  mistake.  Expressed  doubts  can’t  be  summarily  dismissed,  they  need  to  be  plumbed  until  the  points  of  contention  are  narrowed.

For  example,  there  have  been  two  cost-­analyses  of  the  single-­payer  plan.  One  puts  the  cost  a  $1.6  billion,  the  other  closer  to  $2  billion-­$2.2  billion.  We  need  to  know  which  is  correct.  A  half  billion  dollars  a  year  isn’t  petty  cash.

3URSRVDOV DUH DOUHDG\ LQ WKH RIÂżQJ LQ WHUPV RI UDLVLQJ WKH QHFHVVDU\ PRQH\ to  fund  the  single-­payer  system.  Sen.  Peter  Galbraith  states  it  plainly  in  his  proposed  legislation:  The  only  means  by  which  this  sort  of  money  can  be  raised  is  through  the  property  tax,  the  income  tax  or  a  combination  of  the  two.  He  also  proposes  the  need  to  impose  a  1.5-­percent  tax  on  wages  begin-­ ning  in  2015,  just  to  provide  the  necessary  funding  to  start  things  in  2017.  The  governor  has  asked  for  such  a  discussion  this  legislative  session.  It’s  not  something  he  expects  to  be  signed  into  law,  but  he  wants  legislators  to  “take  a  bullet  or  twoâ€?  in  the  hopes  the  discussion  will  broaden  statewide.

A  bullet  or  two  is  one  thing,  being  shelled  is  another.

The  last  thing  the  Legislature  will  do,  or  should  do,  is  impose  a  tax  on  ZDJHV LQ DGYDQFH RI VRPHWKLQJ WKDW WRGD\ KDV QR GH¿QDEOH VKDSH $V WKH only  state  in  the  nation  doing  this,  we  need  to  question  how  will  it  affect  our  health  care  providers  and  how  will  it  affect  our  employers?  Legislators  should  also  be  open  to  other  opportunities.  As  the  health  insur-­ ance  market  evolves,  what  was  true  yesterday  may  not  be  true  tomorrow.

An  example:  We  have  two  insurers  in  Vermont,  Blue  Cross  Blue  Shield  and  MVP.  Both  are  in  the  process  of  accepting  new  clients  until  March.  Blue  Cross  has  long  been  the  dominant  provider  in  the  state  with  roughly  75  per-­ cent  of  the  market.  If  it  manages  to  increase  that  percentage  it  may  be  that  MVP  calls  it  a  day  and  leaves.  We  would  have  one  insurer  left.  Or,  close  to  a  single-­payer.

Vermont  could  then  look  at  Blue  Cross  Blue  Shield  the  same  way  it  does  Green  Mountain  Power  —  as  a  utility  the  state  could  set  up  to  be  regulated.  7KH FRPSDQ\ FRXOG EH JXDUDQWHHG ² OLNH D XWLOLW\ ² D OHYHO RI SUR¿WDELOLW\ There  would  be  no  need  to  assess  a  payroll  tax  on  either  businesses  or  the  employee.  And  considering  that  Blue  Cross  says  it  operates  at  a  lower  cost  than  what  would  be  proposed  under  the  single-­payer  system,  legislators  should  be  honor  bound  to  explore  why  this  would  not  work,  or  what  would  need  to  happen  to  make  it  work.

It’s  an  option  with  its  own  complications.  But  it’s  an  option  nonetheless.  It’s  but  one  example  of  the  thoroughness  of  debate  required  before  the  Leg-­ islature  and  the  governor  can  gain  the  backing  of  most  Vermonters.

Paid  sick  leave  bill  would  aid  many

Letters to the Editor Time  to  move  past  distractions  and  focus  on  project Having  these  past  few  months  observed  an  unfortunate  level  of  heightened  discourse  over  the  issues  surrounding  the  Middlebury  Town  Hall  and  the  corresponding  concern  RYHU ÂłFRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW RI LQWHUHVW ´ , FKRVH to  attend  the  Jan.  2  meeting  of  the  selectboard,  in  which  a  complaint  RI FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW RI LQWHUHVW LQ WKUHH UHFHQW votes  was  being  considered.

I  was  very  saddened  to  hear  at  the  start  of  that  meeting  that  Victor  Nuovo  has  resigned  from  the  board.  I  recall  working  with  Victor  on  town-­school  issues  when  I  was  on  the  ID-­4  school  board  years  ago,  and  have  always  respected  his  work  on  behalf  of  the  town  and  the  citizens  of  Middlebury.  His  experience  and  dedication  will  be  missed.

I  am  not  a  party  to  the  complaint.  My  intention  on  coming  to  the  meet-­ ing  was  to  try  to  express  that  the  LVVXH RI ÂłFRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW RI LQWHUHVW´ QHHG not  be  seen  as  a  personal  charge.  My  own  views  on  the  matter  while  chair  of  ID-­4  were  that  small  boards  in  small  towns  (and  small  states)  in-­ crease  the  likelihood  of  associations Â

between  board  members  and  various  vendors  and  other  business  interests  in  town,  and  that  members  should  be  aware  of  this  and  avoid  the  appear-­ DQFH RI FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW RI LQWHUHVW â&#x20AC;&#x153;Appearanceâ&#x20AC;?  is  the  key  term.  And,  as  I  expressed  at  the  meeting,  it  is  in  the  nature  of  the  situation  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;appearanceâ&#x20AC;?  is  in  the  eye  of  the  observer,  and  board  members  should  understand  and  respect  that  general  fact  of  political  life.  This,  I  think,  is  key  to  allowing  a  smooth  board  functioning  that  preserves  the  SXEOLFÂśV FRQÂżGHQFH LQ WKH JHQHUDO impartiality  of  the  board.

There  should  not  be  a  need  to  debate  whether  a  board  member  stands  to  gain  materially  from  a  particular  discussion  or  decision  by  the  board.  For  example,  the  Vermont  School  Board  Association  recommends  that  boards  incorpo-­ rate  the  following  into  their  poli-­ cies:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Agree  to  recuse  and  remove  oneself  from  board  deliberation  and  votes  when  necessary  to  avoid  the  DSSHDUDQFH RI FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW RI LQWHU-­ est.â&#x20AC;?  It  seems  wise  to  emphasize Â

the  phrase  â&#x20AC;&#x153;avoid  the  appearance  RI FRQĂ&#x20AC;LFW RI LQWHUHVW´ ² DJDLQ WR allow  for  the  maintenance  of  public  FRQÂżGHQFH ZKLOH GLVFXVVLRQV WDNH place  and  decision  are  made.

Improved  forestry  practices  would  boost  lakeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  health On  Nov.  20,  2013,  the  state  of  Ver-­ mont  published  a  draft  proposal  on  the  cleanup  of  Lake  Champlain.  The  document  was  intended  to  stimulate  discussion.  It  will.

The  30-­page  report  devotes  less  than  three  pages  to  forestry  but  the  brief  proposals  are  breathtaking  in  their  scope  and  worth  careful  consid-­ eration.

The  report  states  that  â&#x20AC;&#x153;efforts  to  reduce  all  sources  of  phosphorus  have  been  accelerated  in  the  past  ten  yearsâ&#x20AC;?  but  the  lake  has  been  very  slow  to  respond.  Many  reasons  were  cited  but  the  report  suggests  that  the  primary  reason  is  that  we  have  not  done  enough.

I  am  a  retired  high  school  special  educator,  and  my  experience  as  a  teacher  was  that  it  was  often  the  old-­ er  siblings  who  were  required  to  stay  home  and  take  care  of  a  sick  young  child  if  a  parent  could  not  do  so,  thus  missing  valuable  school  time  and  falling  behind  in  their  school  work.

To  the  surprise  of  many  Vermont-­ ers,  there  currently  is  no  state  or  fed-­ eral  law  requiring  employers  to  grant  paid  sick  days  to  working  Vermont-­ ers.  This  means  that  about  106,000  Vermonters  are  compelled  to  go  to  work  when  they  are  ill,  or  when  their  children  are  ill,  or  lose  a  dayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  pay  for  each  day  they  are  out  sick.

Yet,  80  percent  of  Vermonters  who  were  polled  favor  legislation  requir-­ ing  all  employers  to  grant  paid  sick  leave  to  their  workers.  As  you  would  expect  from  Vermonters,  paid  sick  leave  makes  good  sense.  These  are  these  reasons: Â&#x2021; :RUNHUV ZKR ORVH D GD\ÂśV SD\ because  they  are  seriously  ill  or  care  for  a  sick  child  and  have  to Â

UHPDLQ KRPH KDYH GLIÂżFXOW\ PHHWLQJ rent  or  buying  groceries,  and  as  a  result  their  families  and  the  general  economy  suffer;Íž Â&#x2021; 3DUHQWV ZKR KDYH WR VHHN D doctorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  care  or  hospitalization  for  themselves  or  their  child  may  lose  their  job  because  of  extended  time  away  from  work,  increasing  unem-­ ployment,  decreasing  tax  revenue  and  further  weakening  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  economy.

In  Vermont  the  respect  and  dignity  of  a  humane  workplace  for  every  worker  is  essential,  and  paid  sick  leave  is  a  practical  need  that  we  can  all  identify  with,  for  we  have  all  been  sick  and  we  know  what  that  is  like.  I  urge  you  to  contact  your  representatives  and  senators  in  the  Statehouse  and  let  them  know  how  important  this  legislation  is.  The  bill  is  H.382,  and  you  can  read  about  its  provisions  at  www.vtlivablewage. org/sickdayleg.html.

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abe Union High School Otter Valley Union High School proudly announces Marley Zollman as its Student of the Week. Marley lives in Brandon with her parents, Rob and Alyssa Zollman. Her sister, Gena, graduated from UVM and her brother, Sam, goes to Tufts.

Throughout her high school career, Marley has received high honors. In grade 11, she was inducted into the National Honor Society and received the St. Lawrence Book Award and Excellence in Advanced American Studies. She also received Excellence in Acting at the Vermont State Drama Festival for the role of Lisa in â&#x20AC;&#x153;David and Lisa,â&#x20AC;? the competition one-act play. The play also made it to the New England Drama Festival, where it was one of two plays to represent the VWDWH RI 9HUPRQW Âł D Ă&#x20AC;UVW IRU 2WWHU 9DOOH\ 0DUOH\ LV WKH FXUUHQW FR SUHVLGHQW RI the Walking Stick Theater and a member of the Vermont Youth Drama Council.

She has attended the New England Young Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Conference for the past two years as a host and will be returning for a third year. She is currently enrolled in AP Literature and AP European History.

This year, Marley joined Moosalamoo, Otter Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s outdoor educational program. Since the seventh grade, she has been an avid member of the Walking Stick Theater, acting in more than 20 productions by the end of this year. Sheâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s played parts from a dancing plate in â&#x20AC;&#x153;Beauty and the Beastâ&#x20AC;? in ninth grade, to a schizophrenic girl with a double personality last year in â&#x20AC;&#x153;David and Lisa,â&#x20AC;? to Marley  Zollman Maria in â&#x20AC;&#x153;West Side Story,â&#x20AC;? this yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fall musical.    O.V.U.H.S Summer 2014 will mark Marleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fourth summer working at Woods Market Garden.

Her hobbies include jewelry making, photography, skiing, writing and singing.

When asked what she has learned from high school, Marley said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are so many different types of intelligence, and there are different ways of assessing intelligence. I know that I am a different type of learner â&#x20AC;&#x201D; I enjoy hands-on and contextual learning. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve been lucky to have opportunities that support this type of learning. I believe your education is in your hands. Find what works for you. Advocate for yourself.

Talk to your teachers. So donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be afraid to go out and make what you want of your education.â&#x20AC;?

As for college, Marley has been accepted to the University of Vermont, but she is also looking at Wheaton College and Massachusetts College of Art and Design.

Marleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s AP European History teacher, Michael Dwyer, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;A vibrant, passionate, and committed student, Marley has left her mark on Otter Valley.â&#x20AC;?

And Michele Cioffredi, Moosalamoo lead teacher, says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Marley is a unique individual who is as comfortable donning Johnson Wools for the outdoor challenges as she is making distinguished jewelry in her metalsmithing independent study.â&#x20AC;?

The Otter Valley community commends this versatile young woman on all of her accomplishments and wishes her the best in the future.

Mount Abraham Union High School congratulates Meghan Hahr on being named Student of the Week. Meghan lives in Starskboro.

Her sister Molly is a senior at Suffolk University. Her sister Abby is a sophomore at the University of New Hampshire.

Meghan has earned honors or high honors all four years of high school.

She received academic excellence in grades 9-11. As a junior she was inducted into Mt. Abeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s chapter of the National Honor Society. As a senior she is enrolled in AP Calculus and AP Literature and Composition.

In grades 9-10 Meghan played on the JV soccer team.

In the spring of 2013 she went to Costa Rica on a school trip with EcoTeach, working at building a sustainable environment in Costa Rica.

Meghan began working at the Robinson School Homework Club in October 2011, during her sophomore year. Through that school year she was paid to work one-on-one with a student for an hour and a half, four days a week, helping him to complete his homework. In June 2012, she was hired to work as a cashier at Lantmanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Market in Hinesburg. She Meghan  Hahr continues to work there now. In the fall of 2012 she was once again M.A.U.H.S. hired at the Robinson School Homework Club, splitting her two days a week there working one-on-one with a student and helping out in a classroom.

Outside of school Meghan enjoys spending time with her sisters when they are home, and traveling around New England with her family. She also enjoys spending time with friends, and doing photography.

When asked about her advice to other students, Meghan said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned that you have to create a balance between social life and work. I suggest that others always challenge themselves in their workload, but make sure that you save enough time to enjoy the time you have in high school.â&#x20AC;?

After high school Meghan plans to go to college to major in Elementary Education with a possible minor in Math or Special Education.

Meghanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s teachers say she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;goal-oriented, hardworking and organizedâ&#x20AC;?; she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;impressive in her ability to balance all of the responsibilities she hasâ&#x20AC;?; and she â&#x20AC;&#x153;never appears stressed about what she has to do.â&#x20AC;? One says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Her approach of easygoing determination has helped her to experience much success in high school.â&#x20AC;?

All in the Mt. Abraham community wish Meghan the best in her future endeavors!

Although both of these pups have each been previously featured in the Pet of the Week column, this long cold winter has forced us, as a source of amusement, to dress up our dogs and give them pseudonyms and captions. It has

been an endeavor of much hilarity, or maybe itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just cabin fever. We have photographed them in many incarnations, and they are very agreeable, possibly due to the chicken treat rewards.

It’s against the law to discriminate when advertising housing related activities.

Particularly on sites like Craigslist.

And it’s easier to break the law than you might think. You can’t say “no children” or “adults only.”

There is lots you can’t say. The federal government is watching for such discrimination.

Let us help you sift through the complexities of the Fair Housing Law. Stay legal. Stay on the right side of the nation’s Fair Housing Law. Call the Addison Independent at (802) 388-­4944.

male  discovered  in  a  single-­room  rental  off  Route  7  near  Plains  Road  in  Salisbury.  The  man,  later  identified  as  59-­year-­old  Andrew  R.  Henderson,  was  unresponsive  when  discovered  by  a  neighbor.  Henderson  was  pronounced  dead  shortly  after  the  arrival  of  emer-­ gency  personnel.

An  investigation  into  Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  death  is  under  way,  including  an  autopsy  by  the  Office  of  the  Chief  Medical  Examiner.  Sgt.  Robert  Patten  reported  that  the  initial  investigation  found  indicators  of  suspected  heroin Â

Patten  pointed  out  that  VSP  and  EMS  personnel  responded  to  another  person  in  medical  distress  at  a  different  home  along  Route  7  in  Salisbury  just  42  minutes  before  responding  to  Hendersonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  death.  There  were  indicators  that  the  person  in  medical  distress  in  this  case  had  been  using  heroin,  Patten  said.  The  patient  was  trans-­ ported  by  ambulance  to  Porter  Hospital  in  Middlebury.  No  death  resulted  this  case,  Patten  said.
