Welch  visits  with  local  dairy,  spirits  makers Discusses  bills  to  help  Vt.  distillers MIDDLEBURY  —  Rep.  Peter  Welch  this  past  Friday  convened  a  meeting  of  Vermont’s  distillery  in- dustry  leaders  to  discuss  the  oppor- tunities  and  challenges  facing  this  growing  sector  of  Vermont’s  econ- omy.  The  Democratic  Congressman  also  visited  the  Agri-ÂMark  cheese- making  plant  while  in  Middlebury. At  the  meeting  of  the  distillers  at  Stonecutter  Spirits  headquarters Â
off  Exchange  Street  in  Middlebury,  Welch  announced  his  support  for  bipartisan  legislation  to  provide  tax  incentives  for  Vermont’s  distilleries. “Vermont’s  distilling  industry  ex- HPSOLÂżHV 9HUPRQWÂśV HQWUHSUHQHXULDO culture.  These  vital  small  businesses  are  creating  good,  local  jobs  all  over  the  state,â€?  Welch  said.  “I  am  happy  to  support  this  legislation,  which  will  give  distillers  a  boost  so  they  can  continue  to  innovate,  expand  and  succeed.â€? Under  current  law  in  the  distilled  spirits  industry,  54  percent  of  an  av-Â
erage  distiller’s  revenues  go  to  taxes  and  fees.  The  Distillery  Innovation  and  Excise  Tax  Reform  Act  (HR.  2520),  would  bring  distillers  on  par  with  the  tax  rates  enjoyed  today  by  brewers  and  vintners. The  bill  would  reduce  the  current  federal  excise  tax  from  the  current  $13.50  per  proof  gallon  to  $2.70  on  WKH ÂżUVW SURRI JDOORQV SUR- duced  by  a  distillery.  Any  gallon  produced  over  the  100,000  threshold  would  be  taxed  at  $9.00. “A  lower  federal  excise  tax  allows  distillers  to  continue  to  strengthen Â
the  Vermont  brand  by  introducing  more  high-Âquality  products  and  mar- keting  them  in  Vermont  and  through- out  the  United  States,â€?  said  Jeremy  Elliott,  co-Âowner  of  Smugglers’  Notch  Distillery  and  President  of  the  Vermont  Distilled  Spirits  Council.  “This  positive  exposure  and  associa- WLRQ EHQHÂżWV DOO 9HUPRQW PDGH SURG- ucts.  A  big  thanks  to  Rep.  Welch  for  his  support  on  this  effort.â€?

The  inconvenient  truth  in  the  shift  to  renewables The  one-Âsided  argument  on  fossil  fuel  consumption  goes  like  this:  All  things  related  to  fossil  fuels  worsen  global  warming,  the  crisis  of  RXU WLPHV DQG PXVW EH EDQQHG RU UHGXFHG 1R H[FHSWLRQV )URP DQ HQYLURQPHQWDO SHUVSHFWLYH LWÂśV D FRPSHOOLQJ DUJXPHQW WKDW LV GLIÂżFXOW to  refute. But  the  argument  leaves  little  room  for  incremental  change,  or  a  dis- cussion  of  economic  realities.  It’s  too  often  an  all-Âor-Ânothing  approach  based  on  the  politics  of  our  moral  responsibility.  Today’s  reality  is  that  only  about  11  percent  of  the  world’s  energy  consumption  is  from  renew- DEOH HQHUJ\ VRXUFHV ELRIXHOV ELRPDVV JHRWKHUPDO K\GURSRZHU VRODU DQG ZLQG ZLWK D SURMHFWLRQ RI MXVW SHUFHQW E\ DFFRUGLQJ WR WKH U.S.  Energy  Information  Administration.  Fossil  fuels  and  nuclear  energy  make  up  the  remainder.  While  the  U.S.  numbers  are  slightly  higher  for  renewable  production,  it’s  not  by  much,  and  we  know  it  will  take  decades  WR PRYH WKH QDWLRQ DQG WKH ZRUOG RII IRVVLO IXHOV LQ VLJQLÂżFDQW YROXPHV and  onto  renewables.  That  is  also  an  inconvenient  truth. When  wrestling  with  that  truth,  the  realities  of  supply  and  demand  clash  with  the  moral  imperative  to  do  the  right  thing.  The  consequence  can  be  convoluted  reasoning.  For  some,  for  example,  it  is  beyond  belief  that  anyone  could  argue  for  the  construction  of  Vermont  Gas  Systems’  natural  gas  pipeline  into  Mid- dlebury  from  Chittenden  County  because  it  would  mean  burning  more  fossil  fuel  years  into  the  future.  Yet,  they  think  nothing  of  driving  their  FDUV WR ZRUN EXUQLQJ IXHO RLO HYHQ LI LWÂśV D UHGXFHG DPRXQW DV D VXSSOH- PHQW WR UHQHZDEOHV WR KHDW WKHLU KRPHV RU Ă€\LQJ WKH DLUZD\V EHFDXVH quite  frankly,  it  takes  too  long  for  the  train  to  get  to  California. What’s  interesting  about  that  perspective  is  the  sincerity  of  those  who  oppose  the  pipeline  with  an  all-Âor-Ânothing  mentality,  but  are  quite  accept- ing  of  other  incremental  steps  that  reduce  their  carbon  footprint.  They  are  ¿QH GULYLQJ D FDU WKDW JHWV JRRG PLOHDJH DQG MXVWLI\LQJ WKDW EHKDYLRU DV doing  the  best  they  can  within  the  realm  of  practicality;Íž  similarly,  they  feel  good  burning  wood  to  heat  their  homes  and  using  fuel  oil  or  propane  DV D VXSSOHPHQW RU YLFH YHUVD DV DQ LQFUHPHQWDO VWHS WR UHGXFLQJ IRV- sil  fuel  use.  Fuel  pumps  are  the  rage  in  home  heating  these  days,  even  though  natural  gas  is  one  preferred  fuel  source  to  power  the  pump.  That  seems  to  be  OK.  And  yet,  reducing  the  carbon  imprint  of  a  home  20  to  30  percent  by  using  natural  gas  over  fuel  oil  is  somehow  beyond  the  pale;Íž  beyond  their  rational  comprehension  of  what  is  acceptable. We  also  have  no  doubt  that  many  who  protest  the  natural  gas  pipeline  into  Middlebury  have  not  insulated  their  homes  to  the  max,  or  replaced  windows  with  the  newest  and  best  designs,  or  traded  in  their  lawn  mow- ers  for  electric  models,  or  any  number  of  things  that  could  personally  re- duce  their  carbon  footprints.  And  that’s  OK.  You  don’t  have  to  be  a  purist  to  argue  a  point.  These  parallels  are  less  about  the  obvious  hypocrisy  of  the  argument,  and  more  about  the  common  sense  realities  of  our  world.  We  do  what  is  feasible  even  when  we  believe  in  a  cause  as  passionately  as  this.  But  one  might  think  that  similar  parallels  would  seep  into  the  logic  of  the  discussion.  If  it’s  OK  to  drive  a  car  with  high  mileage,  but  still  use  fossil  fuels  to  drive,  then  might  it  not  be  preferable  to  use  natural  gas  in  homes  or  businesses  that  are  currently  burning  propane  or  fuel  oil  and  lower  their  FDUERQ IRRWSULQW VXEVWDQWLDOO\" If  we  know  it  will  take  another  20,  30  or  more  years  to  wean  ourselves  from  fossil  fuel  before  other  fuels  and  technology  take  its  place,  does  it  not  make  sense  to  transition  to  the  lowest  carbon-Âbased  fuels  in  the  LQWHULP" ,V LW QRW IHDVLEOH WKDW VWDWH SROLF\ FDQ GLFWDWH WKURXJK WD[ SROLF\ RU RWK- HUZLVH WKH VKLIW WR UHQHZDEOH HQHUJ\ DV WKH VXSSO\ RI UHQHZDEOH VRXUFHV LQFUHDVHV LQ WKH \HDUV WR FRPH" Without  a  doubt  the  moral  imperative  on  this  issue  is  to  reduce  our  car- bon  footprint.  But  that  doesn’t  necessarily  mean  banning  the  expansion  of  fossil  fuels,  like  natural  gas,  that  lower  our  carbon  output.  As  Vermont  Gas  defends  its  proposal  to  build  Phase  1  of  the  Addison  Pipeline,  the  Public  Service  Board’s  job  is  to  consider  what  is  in  the  best  interests  of  the  state  in  terms  of  economic  prosperity  —  long-Âterm  and  short-Âterm  —  and  in  terms  of  insuring  the  utility  is  delivering  the  product  in  a  manner  that  is  cost  effective  for  ratepayers.  All  are  issues  of  eco- QRPLF LPSRUWDQFH DQG ZLOO EH GHWHUPLQHG E\ TXDQWLÂżDEOH PHDVXUHV 7KH PRUDO LVVXH LV OHVV TXDQWLÂżDEOH DQG GLIIXVHG E\ WKH ORJLF RI LQ- cremental  progress.  But  surely,  as  we  consider  how  to  accomplish  the  overarching  goal  of  reducing  our  release  of  carbon  dioxide  into  the  atmo- sphere,  there  is  more  than  one  valid  perspective. ********* As  for  the  development  and  siting  of  solar  arrays,  fellow  columnist  *UHJ 'HQQLV ZRQGHUV LQ DQ DGMDFHQW FROXPQ KRZ DQ\RQH ZRXOG ZDQW to  hinder  such  progress.  They  don’t.  The  goal  is  to  cite  solar  arrays  in  a  manner  that  works  for  the  commu- nity.  The  objection  some  towns  have  to  the  current  rules  is  that  local  zon- ing  has  been  left  out  of  the  equation  to  the  detriment  of  the  community.  It  doesn’t  have  to  be  so.  :HÂśUH FRQÂżGHQW WKDW VRODU LQGXVWU\ OHDGHUV VWDWH OHJLVODWRUV DQG WRZQ RIÂżFLDOV FDQ ZRUN RXW UHDVRQDEOH VLWLQJ DQG VFUHHQLQJ UXOHV WKLV VXPPHU and  fall  that  mitigate  many  of  the  problems  seen  today.  The  object  is  not  to  prevent  solar  from  being  developed,  but  to  develop  solar  in  a  way  that  gains  public  support  and  creates  a  more  sustainable  industry.

Letters to the Editor County  shouldn’t  lose  full-Âtime  health  care  navigator , ZDV GLVWUHVVHG WR ÂżQG RXW WKDW by  week’s  end  (June  27),  there  will  no  longer  be  a  full-Âtime  Vermont  Health  Connect  Navigator  in  Ad- dison  County.  The  person  who  has  been  doing  this  job,  at  Porter  Hos- pital,  will  no  longer  hold  the  posi- tion,  owing  —  so  I  am  told  —  to  the  loss  of  a  grant  for  the  program’s  support. I  needed  to  sign  up  for  health  insurance  coverage  last  January.  My  circumstances  being  some- what  complicated,  I  opted  to  call  a  navigator  and  found  one  at  Porter.  As  it  transpired,  I  would  have  made  mistakes  trying  to  navigate Â
this  system  on  my  own.  Even  the  navigator  had  to  spend  some  three  hours  getting  me  set  up.  I  could  not  have  managed  it  properly  online  on  my  own,  owing  to  the  complexi- ties  of  my  case  and  the  hopeless  disarray  of  the  system.  To  highlight  the  disarray,  I  will  also  say  that  I  have  had  to  call  the  navigator  three  times  since  January  concerning  various  mistakes  made  by  Vermont  Health  Connect  with  respect  to  my  coverage.  In  every  instance,  he  was  able  to  resolve  the  problems. Now  we  have  one  lone  part-Âtime  navigator  in  the  county  doing  this  job.  Really?  The  Health  Connect Â
system  seems  little  improved  after  months.  I  have  only  sympathy  for  those  who  try  to  navigate  this  system  on  their  own  in  future.  As  we  learned  this  month,  the  system’s  delays  in  processing  status  changes  have  led  to  payment  errors  at  Blue  Cross/Blue  Shield,  and  the  insur- ance  carrier  is  now  trying  to  recoup  some  half-Âmillion  dollars  in  errone- ous  claims  payments  to  health  care  providers  across  the  state. I  will  be  happy  to  age  out  of  the  system  and  into  Medicare  next  year.  It  can’t  happen  soon  enough. Marcia  Merryman-ÂMeans Vergennes
State  has  missed  the  mark  in  its  energy  policy  efforts For  two  May  Days  I’ve  stood  on  the  lawn  in  front  of  the  Capitol  building  in  Montpelier  with  my  two- by-Âthree  pictures  of  Vermont  and  New  Hampshire  mountains  depict- ing  the  process  of  being  destroyed  by  the  cutting,  blasting  and  bull- dozing  by  green  renewable  energy  facilities. The  pictures  are  uncomfortable.  They  make  people  stand  and  stare. “Is  this  what  really  happens?â€?  they  ask.  “I  had  no  idea!â€? In  those  two  days  these  past  two  years  I’ve  only  seen  two  representa-Â
tives  and  two  senators  at  the  event.  One  senator  ignored  the  booth  de- spite  walking  by  three  or  four  times  and  last  year  another  senator  saw  the  pictures  and  abruptly  turned  and  politicked  elsewhere.  This  booth  dis- play  drew  snickers  from  a  crowd  of  energy  buffs  that  accidently  strolled  upon  the  booth  while  cutting  over  to  the  Lyme  disease  display. The  energy  bill  was  passed  by  our  Big  Brother,  Vermont’s  legislative  government.  When  an  energy  bill  is  passed  on  the  coat  tails  of  manu- facturing  gun  silencers,  democracy Â
takes  a  hit.  It’s  a  bill  which  the  Joint  Committee  on  Environmental  and  Natural  Resources  backed  while  once  again  pushing  an  agenda  with  token  siting  rules  and  pandering  to  the  renewable  energy  block.  And  once  again  giving  no  say  to  Ver- monters  or  their  communities  to  determine  where  one  can  site  these  energy  projects. So  much  for  democracy!  Dhyan  Nirmegh Starksboro

Lest  we  forget,  ExxonMobil  is  in  the  oil  business  —  the  very  purpose  of  ZKLFK LV WR ÂżQG GLJ SLSH UHÂżQH DQG sell  fossil  fuels.  The  same  fuels  that  are  driving  climate  change.  Rather  than  ask  an  oil  company  to  put  itself  out  of  business,  maybe  we  should  ask  Betty  Crocker  to  stop  mak- ing  cake  mixes. The  shareholder  resolution  that  the  treasurer  supported  had,  in  a  previous  tally,  attracted  more  than  20  percent  of  the  vote  at  ExxonMobil’s  annual  meeting. This  year  it  got  9.6  percent. While  Pearce’s  windmill  tilting  was  well  intentioned,  it  was  also  pointless.  Rather  than  expecting  oil  companies  to  reform  themselves,  she  should  drop  her  stubborn  resistance  to  having  the  state  of  Vermont  divest  out  of  fossil  fuel  companies.  7KHUH DUH PDQ\ HTXDOO\ SURÂżWDEOH investments  that  don’t  dirty  the  state’s  hands.  We  can  make  a  powerful  moral  statement  about  the  best  future  for Â

While  Pearce  continues  to  hold  out  a  naĂŻve  hope  that  investors  can  force  oil  companies  to  change  their  business  model,  many  wise  minds  have  already  decided  to  divest.  Even  the  Rockefeller  Family  Fund  —  whose  enormous  wealth  was  built  upon  oil  —  has  recognized  the  futil- ity  of  shareholder  resolutions  aimed  at  fossil  fuel  companies.  As  announced  the  day  after  the  massive  People’s  Cli- mate  March,  the  Rockefeller  fund  is  now  in  the  process  of  divesting  from  fossil  fuels.  State  Sen.  Anthony  Pollina  put  it  nicely:  “It  makes  no  sense  for  us  to Â
say  we  oppose  climate  change  and  then  invest  in  the  companies  that  are  causing  it.â€? ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡ ‡ Also  on  the  climate  front,  here’s  a  shout-Âout  to  Rising  Tide  Vermont  and  others  who  have  continued  to  make  their  case  about  the  lies  from  Vermont  Gas.  As  that  company  continues  to  push  its  loser  of  a  plan  to  shove  a  pipeline  through  the  heart  of  Addison  County,  Rising  Tide  and  other  pipeline  groups  are  shining  examples  of  what  democ- racy  looks  like.

Rokeby joins statewide reading of Fredrick Douglass oration FERRISBURGH  —  The  Rokeby  Museum  in  Ferrisburgh  invites  the  public  to  take  part  in  Vermont’s  statewide  reading  of  Frederick  Douglass’  1852  speech,  “What  to  the  Slave  Is  the  Fourth  of  July?â€?  on  Sunday,  July  5,  at  3  p.m.  Everyone  will  have  a  chance  to  read. Often  considered  Douglass’  most  famous  speech,  it  was  delivered  on  July  5,  1852,  in  Rochester,  N.Y.  Douglass  had  been  invited  to  speak  on  the  Fourth  of  July,  but  refused.  He  spoke  the  next  day  instead,  castigating  the  United  States  for  daring  to  celebrate  such  a  holiday  when  3  million  African  Americans  were  enslaved.  Speaking  with  biting  irony,  Douglass  insisted Â
that  “This  Fourth  of  July  is  yours,  not  mine.  You  may  rejoice,  I  must  mourn.â€? Come  and  add  your  voice  to  this  statewide  reading  sponsored  by  the  Vermont  Humanities  Council.  Visit  the  VHC  website  for  more  informa- tion:  www.vermonthumanities.org/ reading-Âfrederick-Âdouglass/.

kids  sing  to  Brown  —  a  fa- miliar  tune  to  which  music  teacher  Kendra  Gratton  made  up  new  words  for  the  occasion.  At  left,  Sara  Tol- gyesi,  one  of  Brown’s  for- mer  students,  reads  to  her.  “It’s  a  pretty  typical  pose  for  her,  helping  a  student,  her  hand  on  their  shoulder,â€?  said  Susan  Humphrey,  who  sent  in  the  photos.

A place for vows, ours tonight, to be forgotten and written again.
This time, with nothing we have to promise, everything we have to lose. To lose ourselves now in the windrows, in the jar — you can open your eyes now — I promised you, one night at the end of your work life, I would leave open on a table under the willow. For any light that is here to listen to what we are saying to each other, with no place to go tomorrow we have ever been before. Gary Margolis, Cornwall

Movie Review By Joan Ellis “San  Andreasâ€?  can  claim  momen- tary  mastery  of  digital  fear.  On  one  hand,  it  has  the  look  of  being  created  entirely  on  a  computer  in  the  studio’s  tech  room.  On  the  other,  it  has  thread- ed  an  appealing  family  story  through  the  chaos.  And  then  there’s  the  matter  of  Paul  Giamatti  as  a  serious  scientist  trying  to  warn  Californians  of  what’s  coming.  Given  these  ingredients,  it’s  your  call  whether  to  laugh  or  shiver  as  you  watch.  The  whole  thing  would  be  a  comic  exercise  if  it  weren’t  for  the  VOLYHU RI D URRW LQ VFLHQWLÂżF SURSKHF\ As  for  the  digital  chaos,  it  starts  early  with  scenes  of  the  Hoover  Dam  shattering  in  mere  minutes.  From  there Â
the  quake  moves  to  Los  Angeles  and  then  San  Francisco  while  earthquake  expert  Dr.  Lawrence  Hayes  (Paul  Giamatti)  of  the  California  Institute  of  Technology  explains  that  this  is  ex- actly  what  will  happen  when  the  two  tectonic  plates  collide  under  the  San  Andreas  fault.  His  explanation  of  why  this  is  100  years  overdue  is  the  sliver  of  reality  that  runs  through  the  movie.  But  because  both  the  visuals  and  the  family  story  are  preposterous,  remind- ers  of  reality  can  be  easily  dismissed  —  sort  of. As  to  the  family,  Ray  (Dwayne  -RKQVRQ LV D ÂżUH GHSDUWPHQW UHVFXH pilot  of  heroic  dimensions;Íž  his  wife, Â

Emma  (Carla  Gugino),  is  divorcing  him  for  a  dweeb  named  Daniel  (Ioan  Gruffudd),  and  if  we’re  confused  about  California’s  destiny,  we  know  from  moment  one  that  Ray  and  Emma  be- long  together.  In  a  nice  family  subplot,  daughter  Blake  (Alexandra  Daddario)  is  thrown  together  during  the  quake  with  Ben  (Hugo  Johnstone-ÂBurt)  and  his  little  brother  Ollie  (Art  Parkinson).  This  three  brave  new  friends  help  each  other  through  catastrophe  while  we  rest  in  the  comfortable  certainty  that  no  movie  would  dare  to  let  any  one  of  them  die.  We  watch  them  escape  the  impossible  at  every  turn  as  the  soundtrack  bombards  our  ears  with  the  thundering  sound  of  the  destruction  of  three  major  cities.

And  because  the  whole  thing  is  so  silly,  it’s  easy  to  ignore  Dr.  Hayes’  lec- ture  on  the  probability  of  a  real  colli- sion  of  tectonic  plates  along  the  San  Andreas  fault.  So  have  fun  with  the  family;Íž  they’re  really  a  very  appeal- ing  bunch.  And  you  can  watch  the  Lodging - Ongoing HDUWKTXDNH VFHQHV WKURXJK WKH ÂżQJHUV that  are  covering  your  eyes  while  as- suring  yourself  that  this  is  absolutely  not  a  computerized  version  of  what  Dr.  Hayes  has  described  as  inevitable  future  reality.

The 24th Street Wailers “Unshakeable is raw and authentically funky‌these young players have the natural rhythm and looseness of studied musicians, which is a breath of fresh air.â€? – thebluesmobile.com “This is just great, gritty, fun, live stuff!â€? – Elwood Blues (Dan Aykroyd), Host of the House of Blues Radio Hour Experienced, road-tested and tougher than a two by four, The 24th Street Wailers are five musicians who originally met in music school. Their major influence? The sounds from the freewheeling period in the ’40s and ’50s when the Blues gave birth to Rock and Roll in black communities in major American cities. When showmanship mattered. When the sax player, not the guitarist, got the girls.
