Map sparks questions on surge of solar arrays By GAEN MURPHREE ADDISON COUNTY — Ellen Kurrelmeyer looked warily at a stack of applications for new solar power development in Addison County. The Addison County Regional Planning Commission member also considered a map produced by Green Mountain Power that shows power lines in the county are stretched thin by a number of solar arrays already here. “So are you trying to tell me that we shouldn’t be seeing more heaps of these” applications, Kurrelmeyer DVNHG WZR *03 RI¿FLDOV ZKR FDPH to a planning commission meeting last Thursday to explain the map.

Monkton,  VT  Homeowner  Recommends  Bristol  Electronics We  decided  to  build  a  garage/shop  and  incorporate  solar  panels.  Dave  from  Bristol  Electronics  came  out  to  advise  us  on  our  options  and  helped  us  with  the  correct  orientation  and  pitch  of  our  roof.  Their  prices  were  less  expensive  than  the  competition  and  for  what  I  believe  is  a  superior  product.  The  installation  was  quick  with  no  problems.  Bristol  Electronics  is  a  locally  owned  and  operated  business  that  delivered  great  service  before,  during,  and  even  now  almost  a  year  later. We  have  been  producing  more  electricity  than  we  can  use  since  May  and  banking  the  credit  with  the  power  company.  We  don’t  anticipate  having  to  pay  another  electric  bill.  I  highly  recommend  solar  power  and  using  Bristol  Electronics  to  install  and  service  it.

Addison panel considers cuts, additions to school budget By  ANDY  KIRKALDY ADDISON  —  Administrators  presented  two  possible  2016-Â2017  spending  plans  to  the  Addison  Cen- tral  School  board  on  Thursday,  one  that  made  few  changes  to  school’s  program  and  would  raise  spending  by  almost  5  percent  to  roughly  $1.62  million,  and  one  that  cut  spending  about  $36,000  to  about  $1.5  million. Principal  Matt  DeBlois  and  Ad- dison  Northwest  Supervisory  Union  administrators  crafted  that  $1.5  mil- lion  budget  to  avoid  the  Act  46  per- pupil  spending  threshold  after  which  residents  must  pay  a  dollar-Âfor-Âdol- lar  penalty  on  their  tax  bills.   But  ANwSU  Superintendent  JoAn  Canning  said  the  Addison  Central  board  was  concerned  about  the  im- pact  on  students  of  the  $120,000  difference  between  those  two  pro- SRVDOV ZKLOH VFKRRO RIÂżFLDOV DOVR project  a  $100,000  fund  balance,  some  or  all  of  which  can  be  used  to  preserve  some  of  the  proposed  cuts. “The  board  anticipates  a  fund  bal- ance,â€?  Canning  said.  “They  also  do  not  want  to  see  reductions  that  affect  students.â€? The  list  of  potential  cuts  from  the  $1.62  million  budget  (which  would  rise  to  that  level  simply  because  of  FRQWUDFWHG VDODU\ DQG EHQHÂżW LQ- creases)  includes:  ‡ $ PDWK LQWHUYHQWLRQLVW D SHU- cent  position.  ‡ LQ WHFKQRORJ\ ‡ 5HGXFWLRQV LQ WKH QXPEHU RI days  worked  by  the  principal,  custo- dian  and  secretary.  ‡ LQ PDLQWHQDQFH ‡ ([WUDFXUULFXODU SURJUDPV DQG ÂżHOG WULSV ‡ IRU VXPPHU VFKRRO Canning  said  the  board  asked  her  and  DeBlois  to  return  at  its  next  meeting  and  present  the  best  way  to  “use  that  $100,000  to  bring  back  needed  supports  for  our  kids.â€?

Like  other  ANwSU  boards,  the  Addison  Central  board  is  also  at  least  considering  holding  its  budget  vote  later  than  Town  Meeting  Day  (see  story  on  Page  1).  Doing  so  would  allow  voters  to  cast  ballots  while  knowing  the  fate  of  the  union-Âwide  vote  on  whether  to  unify  ANwSU  under  one-Âboard  governance.  It  is  also  possible  the  Legislature  by  then  would  have  acted  to  de- lay  or  revise  the  Act  46  penalty  for  high  per-Âpupil  spending  that  is  prob- lematic  for  about  half  of  Vermont’s  schools.

System reliability at issue in New Haven’s PSB hearing Hearing  among  the  ¿UVW JUDQWHG VWDWHZLGH By  GAEN  MURPHREE NEW  HAVEN  —  The  Public  Ser- vice  Board  on  Tuesday  will  hear  from  both  the  town  of  New  Haven  and  Green  Mountain  Power,  as  to  whether  local  power  distribution  lines  are  adequate  to  handle  a  350  kW  solar  array  proposed  to  be  built  next  to  the  Vermont  State  Police  bar- racks  in  New  Haven. The  proposed  solar  array,  called  SSE  New  Haven  Solar  II,  would  be  built  next  to  a  150  kW  solar  ar- ray  already  in  operation  in  the  same  location.  The  developer  applied  for  permission  to  build  the  new  array  in  March  2015. 7KH KHDULQJ LV VLJQLÂżFDQW EHFDXVH it  shows  that  the  PSB  recognizes  the  limits  of  the  electric  power  grid  in  areas,  such  as  New  Haven,  that  have  seen  a  growing  number  of  solar  power  generation  projects,  Depart- ment  of  Public  Service  Director  of  Public  Advocacy  Geoff  Commons  said. “There  is  an  increasing  penetra- tion  of  solar  generation  projects  —  and  that’s  consistent  with  state  policy,â€?  Commons  said  (see  story  on  Page  1).  “At  the  same  time,  the  electrical  grid  has  limits  in  terms  of  how  much  it  can  sustain.  When  you  get  this  greater  penetration,  this  in- creased  number  of  these  distributed  generation  projects,  some  circuits  can  get  overloaded.  And  at  some  point,  you  can  start  to  strain  the  elec- trical  system.  “That’s  what  this  criteria  is  intend- ed  to  look  at  and  prevent.â€?

Typically,  what  happens  next  when  a  power  generation  project  fails  Fast  Track  is  more  analysis  is  done  —  which  can  include  a  feasi- bility  study,  a  system  impact  study,  and  a  facilities  study.  But  in  the  case Â
of  SSE  New  Haven  Solar  II,  GMP  said  that  those  steps  were  not  nec- essary.  As  part  of  its  reasoning  for  ordering  GMP  joined  as  a  party  to  the  proceedings,  the  Public  Service  Board  wrote,  “What  is  not  clear  is  the  basis  for  GMP’s  assertion  that  the  Project  can  interconnect  and  that  no  formal  studies  are  required.  Further- PRUH WKH ÂżOLQJ GRHV QRW GHPRQVWUDWH that  the  Project  can  be  interconnected  without  affecting  system  stability  or  reliability.â€?

percent  ratio  of  total  power  gener- ated  on  a  circuit  to  peak  demand  on  that  same  circuit.  For  example,  if  peak  demand  on  a  circuit  is  1,000  kW  then  total  power  generated  on  that  circuit  should  be  150  kW. But  in  its  Fast  Track  analysis  of  the  proposed  SSE  New  Haven  proj- ect,  GMP  OK’d  a  line  load  of  521  percent  —  roughly  35  times  the  standard  15  percent  limit  —  and  then  dismissed  the  15  percent  crite- rion  as  irrelevant,  said  Amelang.  To  return  to  Amelang’s  example  of  a  circuit  with  peak  demand  of  1,000  kW,  that  would  be  the  equivalent  of  capping  generation  not  at  150  kW  but  at  5,210  kW. The  town  of  New  Haven  has  raised  the  issue  of  system  reliabili- ty  in  every  solar  project  proposal  in  the  town,  according  to  New  Haven  Town  Attorney  Cindy  Hill,  who  represents  New  Haven  in  a  number  of  cases  before  the  Public  Service  Board.  “The  question  of  system  reliabil- ity,  the  criteria  of  system  reliabil- ity  that  the  Public  Service  Board  has  to  evaluate,â€?  said  Hill,  “is  the  question  of,  Are  you  going  to  get  power  outages?  Are  you  going  to  get  voltage  spikes?  Are  you  going  WR JHW Ă€LFNHU LQ \RXU OLJKWV" $UH you  going  to  have  poorer  quality  power  that  in  our  digital  age  may  well  affect  a  number  of  businesses.  Anyone  who’s  got  electrical  equip- ment,  computers,  they  need  reli- able,  good  quality,  steady  energy.â€?

Proponents  consider  natural  gas  a  bridge  fuel  that  currently  provides  energy  at  a  lower  cost  and  lower  carbon  dioxide  output  than  fuel  oil.  With  renewable  energy  currently  only  generating  around  10-Â15  percent  of  current  usage,  it’s  still  years  away  before  fossil  fuel  use  can  be  replaced  with  non-Âfossil  fuel  alternatives. The  approval  of  the  project  means  the  pipeline  will  at  least  proceed  to  Middlebury  and  be  in  use  by  this  summer-Âfall,  while  the  next  battle—ap- proving  the  pipeline  on  down  to  Rutland—is  on  the  horizon. ‡ 7KH DQQRXQFHPHQW E\ 9HUPRQW $JHQF\ RI 7UDQVSRUWDWLRQ 6HFUHWDU\ Chris  Cole  last  week  that  he  would  have  the  Vermont  Rail  Council  recon- sider  the  21-Âfoot  height  requirement  of  the  two  rail  underpasses  through  Middlebury’s  downtown  provides  a  momentary  reprieve  to  what  could  be  a  economically  detrimental  four-Âyear  construction  project.  That  Cole  admits  he  has  also  questioned  the  need  for  the  21-Âfoot  clearance  to  allow  for  double- stack  freight  cars  is  good  news  to  Middlebury’s  opponents,  if  only  because  the  town  can  believe  their  perspective  is  understood,  if  not  also  supported. 7KH SRWHQWLDO RXWFRPH RI VXFK D UHYLHZ LV KXJH ,I LW ZHUH GHWHUPLQHG WKDW D IRRW FOHDUDQFH LV DFFHSWDEOH WKDW FRXOG VLJQLÂżFDQWO\ UHGXFH WKH VFRSH of  the  project  in  terms  of  cost,  and  length  of  time  construction  crews  would  be  working  20  hours  a  day  with  the  accompanying  blasting,  noise  and  eco- nomic  disruption  that  would  cause  in  the  downtown. ‡ ,Q WKH JRYHUQRUÂśV 6WDWH RI WKH 6WDWH $GGUHVV WKDW 6KXPOLQ FDOOHG RQ WKH state  to  divest  its  retirement  portfolio  of  stocks  in  the  coal  industry  and,  VSHFLÂżFDOO\ LQ RLO JLDQW ([[RQ 0RELO EHFDXVH RI LWV EODWDQW EHWUD\DO RI WKH SXEOLF WUXVW E\ NQRZLQJO\ SURYLGLQJ PLVOHDGLQJ VFLHQWLÂżF HYLGHQFH RI JOREDO ZDUPLQJ LQ VWXGLHV VHYHUDO GHFDGHV DJR UHDIÂżUPV WKH VWDWH SRVLWLRQ DV D leader  in  progressive  thought  and  belief.  And,  by  declaring  Vermont  would  RSHQ LWV DUPV WR 6\ULDQ UHIXJHHV WKH JRYHUQRU H[XGHV WKH FRQÂżGHQFH WKDW generosity  of  spirit  trumps  fear,  even  as  other  states  and  politicians  embrace  the  politics  of  prejudice.  We  would  like  to  think  that  in  the  long-Âview,  states  that  support  what  is  right  and  good  for  all  (as  well  as  those  that  invest  in  education)  will  be  the  ones  that  attract  young  people  and  the  innovative  thinkers  of  tomorrow.  But  even  if  it  doesn’t,  it’s  the  right  thing  to  do  and  it’s  far  better  than  being  a  state  ruled  by  fear  and  loathing.

Monkton  residents  and  sympa- thetic  organizations,  it’s  not  quite  as  straightforward  as  that. The  question  is,  is  this  pipeline  really  for  the  public  good  as  re- quired  by  law?  And  is  Vermont  Gas  competent  to  carry  out  this  project?  Many  think  not. The  Public  Service  Board  and  the  Public  Service  Department  thought  so  back  in  2011  when  Vermont  Gas  was  granted  the  right  to  start  extracting  money  from  current  ratepayers  to  pay  for  an  expansion  SURMHFW ² ORRVHO\ GHÂżQHG DW WKH time  as  “pipe  loopingâ€?  in  the  Bur-Â

Your editorial raises the policy question of whether this portion of the western corridor should contin- ue to follow the AREMA standards of a 23-foot height, set at the current leg- islatively directed height of 21 feet, or at a height of 19 feet, which is slightly larger than the current lowest clear- ance. This is a policy question worth discussing before the council and I’ve asked that they address this matter at their next meeting on Feb. 17. At that meeting we should have better infor- mation on the time and project costs associated with the 21-foot standard versus a 19-foot clearance. VTrans will continue to work with the town of Middlebury to develop a plan that will successfully balance the needs of the town with the long-term needs of Vermonters and their trans- portation infrastructure.

Panthers  tie  one,  lose  one  in  tough  home  contests By  ANDY  KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY  —  The  Middle- bury  College  men’s  hockey  team  managed  just  a  tie  in  two  home  NE- SCAC  games  this  past  weekend,  but  outshot  and  largely  outplayed  their  league  rivals.  The  Panthers  dropped  to  4-Â4-Â4,  with  their  league  record  of  3-Â1-Â4  good  for  fourth  place.  Middlebury  on  Sunday  lost  in  overtime  to  Trinity,  3-Â2,  despite  out- shooting  the  Bantams,  36-Â23.  Trinity  (8-Â3-Â1,  4-Â2  NESCAC)  was  ranked  No.  7  in  NCAA  Division  III  before  a  3-Â2  loss  at  Williams  on  Saturday.  On  Saturday,  the  Panthers  saw  a  2-Â0  third-Âperiod  lead  slip  away  in  a  3-Â3  tie  with  Wesleyan  (0-Â7-Â5,  0-Â2-Â4  NESCAC).  Middlebury  outshot  the  Cardinals,  33-Â24. But  despite  not  picking  up  wins  on  home  ice,  Coach  Neil  Sinclair  said  the  Panthers  “are  doing  a  lot  “I’m really of  things  really  well,â€?  and  it  is  proud of only  a  matter  of  the guys... time  before  their  effort  is  reward- They ed. controlled “It’s  a  process.  the play They  trust  the  and we process.  They’ve  been  working  had hard.  They’ve  chances. been  giving  it  The puck their  all,â€?  Sinclair  just didn’t said.  “And  even- bounce our tually  you  work  hard  enough,  you  way.â€? tip  it,  and  things  Coach Neil start  going  your  Sinclair way.  That’s  what  we  keep  talking  to  them  about.â€? On  Sunday  vs.  Trinity,  the  Pan- thers  took  the  lead  2:31  into  the  game  on  a  power  play.  Mike  Najjar  ¿QLVKHG D FULVS SDVVLQJ SOD\ IURP just  off  the  left  post,  one-Âtiming  a  Ronald  Fishman  pass  across  the  goalmouth  after  Fishman  had  taken  a  cross-Âice  pass  from  Evan  Neugold. Five  minutes  later,  Bantam  goal- ie  Alex  Morin  stuffed  a  Vincent  Gisonti  breakaway.  A  minute  after  that,  the  Bantams  capitalized  on  their  only  good  chance  of  the  period.  Ben  Hjalmarsson  dug  the  puck  out  of  a  scramble  and  backhanded  it  in  at  7:47.  The  Panthers  regained  the  lead  at  13:48  on  freshman  Kamil  7NDF]XNÂśV ÂżUVW FDUHHU JRDO %UHQGDQ McGovern  broke  up  a  clear  at  the  blue  line  and  set  up  Tkaczuk  in  the  right  circle,  and  his  hard  shot  broke Â
through  Morin’s  glove. The  Panthers  outshot  Trinity,  12- LQ WKH ÂżUVW SHULRG EXW WKH %DQ- tams  earned  an  11-Â8  edge  in  the  sec- ond  and  made  it  2-Â2  at  12:51,  when  Ethan  Holdaway  won  the  puck  off  the  right  post  and  roofed  it  home,  a  play  that  followed  one  of  the  many  Bantam  faceoff  wins.  Middlebury  had  two  ineffective  power  plays  in  the  period,  and  their  best  chance  came  on  Sunho  Park’s  shorthanded  breakaway,  but  Morin  denied  the  bid.  Then  the  Panthers  dominated  the  third  period  with  a  16-Â4  edge  in  shots,  but  Morin  stopped  good  bids  by  Jake  Charles,  Zach  Haggerty,  Spencer  Cage,  Neugold  and  Mc- PANTHER  JUNIOR  MIKE  Najjar  beats  Wesleyan  defender  Cole  Morrissette  to  the  puck  Saturday  night  at  (See  Hockey,  Page  17) The  Chip.  Najjar  scored  a  goal  in  the  3-Â3  tie.  Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell

She was recognized for effective speaking in 11th grade and has earned honorable mention in trigonometry. She has taken AP literature and AP calculus.

Hannah  Williams Hannah has worked at Half Moon State Park as an attendant O.V.U.H.S. the last two summers and plans to work there again this upcoming summer. Outside of school she enjoys spending time with family and friends, hiking, and watching sports with her family. Hannah says, “I’ve learned throughout high school that at times it can be a lot of work and very hard but to always enjoy your time here because it goes by very fast and you’re a senior before you know it.� After high school, Hannah plans to attend college to get a degree in nursing. Teacher Mr. Dwyer says, “Hannah Williams grew up with two older brothers who played football. That may not be unusual, but what makes Hannah different is that she decided that she would play football as well, and thus, has created her own new game rules. With the same energy and determination that she has pursued a sport that she loves, Hannah has approached her life at Otter Valley. She knows what she wants to achieve and goes after it.� The faculty, staff and students of Otter Valley congratulate Hannah on being named Student of the Week and wish her the best in her life beyond high school.

Hector & Hermione:  6  months,  Zebra  Finches,  Male  &  Female.  These  two  gorgeous  birds  are  as  enjoyable  to  listen  to  as  they  are  to  watch!  A  brother  and  sister  pair,  they  came  to  Homeward  Bound  because  their  owner  had  more  birds  than  she  could  provide  attention  to.  Stop  by  to  meet  WKHVH ORYHO\ ¿ QFKHV
Dulce:  8  years,  DSH  Grey,  Spayed  Female.  DulcÊ  absolutely  loves  to  be  scratched  under  her  chin,  on  her  belly  and  head,  and  loves  to  be  picked  up  so  she  can  rest  on  your  shoulders.  She  is  a  very  petite  and  with  no  tail,  she  looks  even  smaller!  Her  favorite  things  to  do  are  to  explore  and  cuddle.  She  is  a  true  love  bug  and  would  be  an  amazing  companion  for  anyone  looking  for  a  loving  lap  cat.  Come  meet  this  special  girl  today,  she  is  ready  to  ¿ QG KHU IRUHYHU KRPH

Mack & Harvick:  9.5  years,  Chocolate  Labs,  Neutered  Males.  Mack  and  Harvick  are  loving,  affectionate,  friendly  guys  who  just  love  to  snuggle!  They  have  lived  with  children  and  other  dogs,  and  while  they  haven’t  lived  with  cats  they  haven’t  shown  any  interest  in  the  cats  here  at  the  shelter.  Harvick  and  his  brother  Mack  were  surrendered  to  Homeward  Bound  because  they  kept  escaping  from  their  fenced  yard.  These  Houdini  in  the  making  are  looking  for  a  stage  to  call  their  own!  Thanks  to  Pronature  Holistic,  Mack  and  Harvick’s  adoption  fees  are  waived  if  you  adopt  them  together!
Bodean:   2  years,  DSH,  Black  &  White,  Neutered  Male.  Bodean  is  a  dashing  young  cat  who  was  brought  to  us  as  a  stray.  He  is  incredibly  playful,  and  when  you  bring  out  the  catnip  he  turns  into  a  cuddly  goofball!
Hey, I’m Zoe, a 5-month-old female... Billy:  Billy  is  a  smart  girl  with  a  strong  personality!  She  comes  from  a  family  who  lost  their  home.  She  may  take  a  while  to  adjust  to  new  situations,  but  once  she  does,  she  is  a  sweetie.  Even  though  Billy  does  warm  up  to  people  after  she  comes  to  know  them,  she  is  fearful  in  close  quarters  and  under  restraint.  To  make  a  successful  match  for  Billy,  we  are  requiring  that  she  be  adopted  into  a  home  with  children  13  years  and  up  who  can  understand  her  triggers.
Ellie:  8  years,  Calico,  Spayed  Female.  Sweet  Ellie  was  a  stray  rescued  by  one  of  our  foster  homes.  Sh  e  is  a  gorgeous  Calico.  She  is  happy  around  people  and  other  cats.   She  would  love  to  spend  this  winter,  and  many  future  winters  watching  the  snow  fall  from  your  living  room.
‌English shepherd. I love playing outside and I LOVE kids. I love to play tug-of-war with my rope that I got for Christmas from Santa. I love eating meat scraps and my yummy puppy food. Sometimes I feel like chewing on pieces of wood! I love lying on and cuddling up in blankets around the house. I have many talents but, my favorite is that when I want to go outside I ring the jingle bells that hang on the door with my nose. Oh, do you want to know what else I like? I love pigs
— especially piglets. My family is raising some and I sneak in their pen through the fence to go visit them. Recently, I lost one of my baby teeth. Can I share a secret with you? Promise you won’t tell? OK, here it goes, I like to steal things to chew on but, I have to sneak them so I don’t get in trouble. I also like playing with pompoms. I once tore one off my sister’s hat.

helpful  to  trim  pet  nails  with  a  buddy.  One  person  can  take  care  of  the  nails,  while  the  other  reas- sures  the  pet  with  soothing  tones  and  caresses.  Larger  dogs  may  require  two  people  for  the  job  simply  because  the  animal  may  be  too  large  to  wrangle  on  your  own. The  right  tools  of  the  trade  also  can  make  a  difference  when  trim- ming  nails.  Nail  trimmers  come  in  a  few  varieties.  Many  have  a  scissoring  action  that  brings  two  blades  together  to  cut  off  the  nail.  Another  type  is  like  a  miniature  guillotine.  The  pet’s  nail  is  placed  within  a  hole  in  the  tool,  and  one  blade  comes  down  to  shear  off  the  nail.  Newer  nail  trimmers  employ  a  sanding  or  grinding  action  to  wear  away  the  pet’s  nail  without  actually  cutting.  Some  cat  owners  use  human  nail  clippers  or  small  scissors  to  cut  cat  nails,  which  tend  to  be  thinner  and  softer  than  dogs’  nails.  Ultimately,  find  a  tool  your  pets  finds  comfortable  and  one  you  can  handle  properly. Keep  a  container  of  nail  styp- tic  powder  at  the  ready  just  in  case  you  do  happen  to  cut  a  little  too  low  and  cause  bleeding.  In  a  pinch,  Wahl  pet  product  manufac- turer  suggests  using  corn  starch,  rubbing  a  clean,  scent-Âfree  bar  of  soap  across  the  nail,  or  even  apply- ing  ice  to  slow  down  the  bleeding.  If  bleeding  cannot  be  controlled  after  20  to  30  minutes,  proper  clotting  is  not  taking  place  and  a  veterinarian  should  be  consulted  immediately.  Pets  owners  especially  worried  about  nail  trimming  can  leave  the  task  to  a  professional  groomer  or  veterinarian.  Â
Tip  of  the  Week Now  that  the  weather  has  truly  turned  colder,  please  take  the  time  to  check  your  car  before  starting  it.  A  warm  car  engine  is  an  inviting  place  for  feral  cats  and  other  small  animals  to  get  warm,  and  they  may  choose  yours.  A  rap  or  a  tap  on  the  KRRG RI WKH HQJLQH ZLOO VXIÂż FH DV DQ alarm  clock  for  them. Cold  snaps  make  us  all  worry  about  animals  who  have  to  live  outside.  Please  don’t  forget  some  of  the  littlest  ones:   our  feathered  friends.  In  addition  to  feeding  wild  birds,  you  can  ease  their  days  by  providing  small  dishes  of  water  as Â
well,  and  refreshing  as  needed.  Oh,  and  don’t  forget  to  keep  your  cats  inside  too;͞  they’ll  be  warmer  and  the  birds  will  be  safer. We’d  also  like  to  share  a  couple  of  safety  tips  for  meeting  dogs  that  you  or  your  children  may  not  know  well.  It  will  make  for  a  happier  dog  and  a  safer  interaction.  Dogs  are  most  reassured  by  meeting  some- one  who  crouches  down  to  their  level  and  looks  off  to  the  side  while  extending  a  hand  underneath  the  dog’s  chin  for  a  sniff.  Taking  the  time  to  do  this  will  set  a  positive  tone  for  everyone.

Vt.  Gov.  Shumlin  calls  for  divestment  and  job  creation By  ANNE  GALLOWAY VTDigger.org MONTPELIER  —  Gov.  Peter  6KXPOLQ JDYH KLV VL[WK DQG ÂżQDO 6WDWH of  the  State  address  to  the  Vermont  Legislature  on  Thursday. The  uncharacteristically  lengthy  speech  (morre  than  an  hour)  was  a  vic- tory  lap  through  memory  lane,  with  a  listing  of  accomplishments.  The  gov- ernor  spared  no  detail  and  defended  KLV WKUHH WHUPV LQ RIÂżFH Along  the  way,  Shumlin,  who  de- cided  last  June  not  to  run  again,  an- nounced  modest  new  programs  that  largely  build  on  his  record. New  initiatives  were  limited  to  na- tional  and  international  policy  matters  that  had  little  to  do  with  the  pressing  budget  and  economic  problems  the  state  faces.  Shumlin  called  on  the  state  to  divest  its  retirement  funds  from  the  coal  industry  and  from  oil  giant  Exxon  Mobil,  pointing  to  activist  Bill  McK- ibben  seated  in  the  balcony.  The  gov- ernor  also  said  he  would  “make  our  state  a  beacon  of  hope  and  hospitality  to  Muslims,  to  our  Syrian  brothers  and  sisters,  and  to  all  who  seek  to  build  a  better  life  right  here  in  Vermont.â€? $V KH GLG LQ KLV ÂżUVW VSHHFK LQ Shumlin  invoked  the  only  other  gov- ernor  to  hail  from  Putney:  George  Aiken.  This  time,  however,  Shumlin  compared  himself  directly  to  the  leg-Â
endary  governor  and  senator,  who  75  years  ago  “put  into  practice  new  func- tions  of  government  that  were  either  unforeseen  or  in  the  visionary  stage  a  few  years  ago.â€? Like  Aiken,  Shumlin  said  he  has  pursued  “transformative  and  system- icâ€?  change. “From  day  one,  I  made  it  clear  WKDW , GLGQÂśW UXQ IRU WKLV RIÂżFH WR EH D caretaker,â€?  he  said.  “I  ran  to  get  tough  things  done.  I  ran  for  governor  be- cause  Vermont  is  a  great  state.  I  want- ed  to  make  it  greater.â€? %XW 6KXPOLQÂśV ÂżQDO VSHHFK ZDV OHVV about  being  a  catalyst  for  change,  and  more  about  extending  existing  poli- cies  on  mostly  safe  political  ground  with  a  state  Legislature  that  is  domi- nated  by  Democrats. He  touted  his  record  on  jobs,  claim- LQJ WKDW KH KDV DGGHG QHZ MREV LQ SDVW ÂżYH \HDUV DQG KDV ÂłJURZQ SHU capita  incomes  at  or  above  the  na- tional  rate  every  year  I  have  been  gov- ernor,  and  that  has  never  happened  in  Vermont’s  history.â€? Much  of  the  speech  carefully  sounded  by-Ânow  familiar  themes  —  job  creation,  changes  to  the  criminal  justice  system,  installation  of  more  renewable  energy  projects  and  expan- sion  of  opiate  treatment  programs. While  the  modest  initiatives  Shum- lin  announced  are  extensions  of  exist-Â
ing  policies,  many  of  the  changes  will  be  controversial  and  are  sure  to  cap- ture  headlines. The  governor  called  for  the  state  to  cap  the  number  of  opiate  painkill- HUV GRFWRUV FDQ SUHVFULEH WR SLOOV for  routine  medical  treatments,  and  blamed  the  U.S.  Food  and  Drug  Ad- ministration  for  causing  the  opiate  cri- VLV LQ WKH ÂżUVW SODFH He  also  told  the  Legislature  to  send  him  a  bill  that  would  prevent  Ver- monters  from  losing  their  licenses  for  QRQ WUDIÂżF UHODWHG RIIHQVHV KH VDLG the  measure  would  end  the  need  for  driver  restoration  days. In  the  same  speech,  Shumlin  said  the  state  must  “deliberately  and  cau- tiouslyâ€?  legalize  marijuana  in  order  to  “get  rid  ofâ€?  the  illegal  drug  trade  and  impose  a  low  tax  that  will  “wipe  outâ€?  the  black  market. Shumlin  said  he  will  continue  to  invest  in  “homegrownâ€?  energy  and  would  “rejectâ€?  calls  from  “anti-Ârenew- able  extremists  who  would  shut  down  renewables  through  moratoriums  and  other  job-Âkilling  tactics.â€? But  he  also  railed  against  large  commercial  solar  installations  and  softened  his  stance  on  solar  siting.  Shumlin  said  he  would  support  incen- tives  for  locating  solar  on  rooftops,  JUDYHO SLWV EURZQÂżHOGV DQG ODQGÂżOOV Shumlin  said  his  administration  has Â
added  jobs  and  has  “grown  per  capita  incomes  at  or  above  the  national  rate  every  year  I  have  been  governorâ€?  for  WKH ÂżUVW WLPH LQ 9HUPRQWÂśV KLVWRU\ +H DOVR WRRN FUHGLW IRU QHZ farm  jobs  and  keeping  and  attract- ing  manufacturing  jobs  at  places  like  GW  Plastics  in  South  Royalton.  He  used  the  speech  to  announce  that  BHS  Composites  from  Quebec  —  the  for- merly  anonymous  Canadian  company  WKDW ZDV RIIHUHG IURP WKH (QWHUSULVH )XQG ² ZRXOG RIÂżFLDOO\ be  relocating  to  St.  Johnsbury. He  wants  to  expand  the  Enterprise  )XQG ZKLFK VWDUWHG LQ ZLWK PLOOLRQ DQG KDV EHHQ XVHG LQ WKH past  few  months  to  give  money  to  businesses.  He  announced  a  partner- ship  with  GlobalFoundries  to  mentor  workers  in  the  Burlington  area. Company  representatives  said  in  an  interview  they  will  participate  in  the  program  for  no  charge  because  they  have  a  corporate  goal  to  increase  worker  education.  The  mentoring  will  focus  on  “soft  skillsâ€?  such  as  rĂŠsumĂŠ- writing  and  interviewing  skills. The  audience  laughed  when  he  bragged  about  Vermont’s  food  and  beverage  sector. “In  the  past  two  years,  I’ve  had  the  privilege  of  moving  the  Best  Cheese  in  America  award  from  one  Vermont  farm  to  another  Vermont  farm,â€?  he Â
said.  “Take  that,  Wisconsin.â€? He  added:  “Long  known  to  out-Âof- VWDWHUV IRU RXU JUHDW GHHU KXQWLQJ Ă€DW- landers  are  now  coming  to  Vermont  to  beer  hunt.  They  are  literally  rising  at  dawn  to  drive  to  the  promised  land,  where  they  stand  in  a  long  line  and  wait,  and  wait  and  wait  some  more  to  purchase  Vermont’s  world  award- winning  beers,  which  they  carry  back  with  them  in  the  trunks  of  their  cars  to  lift  up  their  miserable  lives  because  they  don’t  live  in  Vermont.â€? It’s  no  surprise  that  the  governor  supports  a  paid  sick  leave  bill  that  many  in  the  business  community  have  resisted,  but  passed  the  House  in  the  VHVVLRQ DQG QRZ VLWV LQ WKH 6HQ- ate,  where  other  Democratic  leaders  support  the  bill. He  reiterated  that  he  wants  to  repeal  school  spending  caps  brought  forth  in  $FW WKH VFKRRO JRYHUQDQFH ELOO +H has  proposed  a  free  semester  of  cours- HV IRU ÂżUVW JHQHUDWLRQ DQG ORZ LQFRPH students  called  “Step  Up.â€?
