In  Vergennes

City  council  OKs  studying  pool,  resurfacing  courts By  ANDY  KIRKALDY VERGENNES  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  After  months  of  discussion,  the  Vergennes  City  Council  last  week  decided  to  spend  $4,000  on  a  professional  evaluation  of  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  East  Street  swimming  pool,  as  a  number  of  residents  have  urged.  The  council  on  Tuesday,  Sept.  13,  also  decided  another  recreation  facil-­ ity  issue  it  had  debated  for  a  short-­ er  period  of  time,  voting  to  spend  $10,000  to  resurface  the  nearby  ten-­ nis  courts,  which  double  as  a  winter-­ time  skating  rink.

City  Manager  Mel  Hawley  said  later  last  week  that  he  would  make  a  recommendation  at  the  councilâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  next  meeting  how  to  pay  for  the  im-­ provements,  for  which  funds  were  not  set  aside  in  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  2016-­2017  budget.

Hawley  said  he  was  leaning  to-­ ward  recommending  the  money  should  come  from  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Water-­ shed  Fund,  which  was  created  in  the  1990s  from  the  sale  of  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  for-­ mer  reservoir  property  in  Bristol.

6HYHQW\ ÂżYH SHUFHQW RI WKH DQQXDO interest  from  that  fund  over  a  base  amount  of  $350,000  goes  toward  supporting  recreation  in  Vergennes.  Hawley  said  the  balance  stood  at  about  $392,000  as  of  the  end  of  July,  meaning  aldermen  could  spend  a  little  more  than  $30,000,  or  three-­ quarters  of  the  $42,000  of  interest. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  more  than  likely  will  come  from  the  Watershed  Fund,â&#x20AC;?  Hawley  said.

That  fund  should  still  have  enough  left  over  to  pay  for  a  recent  $5,500  swimming  pool  valve  replacement  DQG QHZ URR¿QJ RQ WKH EXLOGLQJ DW the  pool  as  well  as  the  pool  inspec-­ tion  and  tennis  court  work,  Hawley  said.

Supporters  of  the  city  pool  had  been  asking  the  council  since  this  past  winter  to  authorize  the  $4,000  inspection  by  an  Albany  company,  but  Hawley  had  hoped  a  local  expert  ZRXOG ÂżUVW WDNH D ORRN DW WKH SRRO without  the  expense.  Hawley  also  has  noted  many  im-­ provements  and  repairs  made  to  the  pool  over  the  years,  including  the  valve,  new  chlorine  handling  and  gutter  systems,  a  pump  upgrade,  and  new  diving  boards  and  lane  markers.  But  the  busy  summer  months  delayed  that  local  inspection,  and  Mayor  Bill  Benton  said  on  this  past  Wednesday  that  council  members  all  agreed  the  pool  needs  some  work  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  most  agree  it  is  structurally  sound,  but  its  sidewalls  at  times  need  patch-­ ing,  including  a  small  area  this  year  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  had  lost  patience  with  the  process. Â

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been  frustrating,  and  the  board  wanted  answers,â&#x20AC;?  Benton  said.

At  the  meeting,  Benton  said  Alder-­ man  Renny  Perry  raised  the  topic  of  the  inspection,  and  Aldermen  Mark  Koenig  and  Jeff  Fritz  also  spoke  in  favor  of  an  inspection  before  the  council  unanimously  supported  Fritzâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  motion,  seconded  by  Alder-­ man  Lowell  Bertrand,  for  the  $4,000  inspection.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  voted  for  it  because  I  wanted  it  to  be  unanimous,â&#x20AC;?  Benton  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;and  I  support  the  pool.â&#x20AC;?

SIDEWALK  WORK The  council  also  dealt  with  a  third  LQIUDVWUXFWXUH LVVXH DFFHSWLQJ D ¿QDO sidewalk  inventory  created  in  tan-­ dem  by  members  of  the  Vergennes  Planning  Commission  and  Ver-­ gennes  Union  High  School  students.

Planners  Shannon  Haggett  and  John  Coburn  and  resident  Greg  Ed-­ wards  worked  with  the  students  to  identify  areas  of  sidewalks  that  needed  repair  and  other  areas  that  might  be  best  served  by  sidewalk  ex-­ tensions.

Benton  said  aldermen  would  work  with  the  public  works  department  to  make  sidewalk  repairs  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;priority  next  springâ&#x20AC;?  and  choose  which  areas  VKRXOG EH GHDOW ZLWK ÂżUVW â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  council  made  it  clear  they  are  serious  about  tackling  some  of  the  sidewalk  issues,â&#x20AC;?  Benton  said.  WINTER  PARKING  BAN Council  members  also  discussed  amending  the  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  winter  parking  ban.  Benton  said  no  formal  decision  was  made,  but  he  believes  a  consen-­ sus  was  reached  not  to  make  any  major  changes  in  the  law  that  forbids  parking  on  city  streets  between  2  and  6:30  a.m.  from  Dec.  1  to  March  31.

However,  Benton  said  council  member  believe  the  law  could  be  amended  to  allow  â&#x20AC;&#x153;a  certain  amount  RI Ă&#x20AC;H[LELOLW\ ´ VSHFLÂżFDOO\ WR DOORZ waivers  for  businesses  that  open  ear-­ ly  or  stay  open  late  that  would  permit  customers  and/or  employees  to  park  during  the  ban  hours,  assuming  no  active  plowing  by  the  public  works  department. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  be  allowed  now,  but  it  could  be  granted  if  we  rewrote  the  ordinance,â&#x20AC;?  Benton  said.  After  hearing  from  Hawley  that  there  are  a  little  more  than  100  units  without  parking  and  about  370  park-­ ing  spaces  available,  Benton  said  council  members  would  also  like  to  encourage  private  owners  of  parking  spaces  to  strike  deals  with  landlords  rather  than  involve  city  government  in  solving  tenantsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  problems.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  have  a  feeling  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  going  to  be  more  informal,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

Rutlandâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  strife  over  refugee  status  is  every  townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  concern In  Rutland,  the  struggles  that  town  and  city  have  gone  through  in  its  reck-­ oning  to  become  a  refugee  resettlement  site  provide  important  lessons  other  Vermont  communities  seeking  similar  refugee  status  should  consider.  For  starters,  Vermont  residents  should  know  the  national  refugee  resettle-­ ment  program  is  operated  under  an  arm  of  the  U.S.  State  Department.  The  State  Department  works  with  contractors  to  place  refugees  throughout  the  na-­ tion;Íž  most  states  have  subcontractors  who  work  for  those  various  contractors.  %HFDXVH WKRVH FRQWUDFWRUV DUH SULYDWH ÂżUPV DQG WKH FRQWUDFWV WKH\ VLJQ ZLWK states  are  competitive  in  nature,  much  of  that  information  is  proprietaryâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;that  LV FRQÂżGHQWLDO EHWZHHQ WKH SDUWLHV LQYROYHG 7KDWÂśV QRW VKDG\ RU SXUSRVHO\ vague  to  hide  some  disturbing  information;Íž  rather  it  is  just  a  standard  busi-­ ness  practice.

Yet,  that  very  practice  has  been  the  root  of  much  suspicion  and  fear-­mon-­ gering  in  the  Rutland  community;͞  and  not  without  reason.

The  Rutland  senatorial  delegation,  made  up  of  Republicans  Kevin  Mullin,  Brian  Collamore  and  Peg  Flory,  for  example,  wrote  a  letter  to  the  State  De-­ partment  and  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  congressional  delegation  at  the  end  of  August  asking  six,  mostly  benign,  questions:  Â&#x2021; :KDWÂśV WKH GHÂżQLWLRQ RI ÂłORFDO JRYHUQDQFH´ YHUVXV ÂłJRYHUQLQJ HQWLW\ ´ This  was  the  most  partisan  question,  which  sought  to  shed  light  on  whether  the  mayor  had  the  authority  to  act  independent  of  the  board  of  aldermen.  (The  city  attorney  ruled  in  a  26-­page  decision  made  public  on  Monday  that  Mayor  Chris  Louras  acted  within  his  authority.)

Â&#x2021; ,V WKH FLW\ÂśV DSSOLFDWLRQ D SXEOLF GRFXPHQW DQG LI QRW ZK\ QRW %HFDXVH itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  contract,  it  is  likely  not  a  public  document.)  The  Senate  delegation  also  asked  the  VRRP  to  provide  them  â&#x20AC;&#x153;with  a  blank  application  form  so  that  we  FDQ VHH ZKDW W\SH RI LQIRUPDWLRQ LW VHHNV"´ Â&#x2021; $QG WKH GHOHJDWLRQ DVNHG VHYHUDO RWKHU TXHVWLRQV HYHU\ KRVW FRPPXQLW\ would  want  to  know:  What  are  the  differences  between  requirements  for  im-­ migrants  vs.  refugees;Íž  that  is,  are  communities  required  to  offer  services  to  only  one,  neither  or  both  (for  example,  ELL,  the  English  Language  Learn-­ HUV SURJUDP " $UH WKHUH GLIIHUHQFHV LQ WKHLU DELOLW\ WR DSSO\ IRU FLWL]HQVKLS" $UH WKHUH GLIIHUHQFHV UHJDUGLQJ SRVVLEOH GHSRUWDWLRQ" $UH WKHUH GLIIHUHQFHV LQ WKHLU DELOLW\ WR KDYH IDPLO\ PHPEHUV FRPH WR WKH 8 6 " ,V WKHUH IHGHUDO ÂżQDQ-­ cial  assistance  to  the  state  or  community  to  assist  in  programs/housing/jobs/ HGXFDWLRQ IRU WKH UHIXJHHV DQG LI VR IRU KRZ ORQJ" Surprisingly,  not  all  of  the  answers  to  those  questions  have  been  as  forth-­ right  as  one  might  think  is  possible;Íž  and  in  todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  political  climate,  where  fear  of  terrorism  seems  to  seep  into  every  political  crevice,  those  gaps  in  transparency  can  undermine  what  could  otherwise  be  good  intentions.

Proponents  of  having  Rutland  be  a  refugee  resettlement  community  say  that  most  of  those  questions  have  been  addressed  numerous  times  since  May-­ or  Louras  nominated  the  city  for  refugee  status  back  in  April.  And  certainly  much  of  this  information  is  not  hidden.  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  refugee  resettlement  pro-­ gram  has  been  ongoing  for  more  than  20  years  and  has  resettled  refugees  from  dozens  of  countries  throughout  Chittenden  County  with  great  success.  If  Rutland  critics  of  the  program  want  to  learn  the  pros  and  cons  of  the  program,  MXVW DVN &ROFKHVWHU :LQRRVNL RU %XUOLQJWRQ RIÂżFLDOV But  even  the  slightest  gap  in  full  disclosure  will  prompt  some  critics  to  VHHN Ă&#x20AC;DZV LQ WKH SURJUDP 5XWODQG RSSRQHQWV IRXQG UHVLGHQWV LQ 0DQFKHV-­ ter,  N.H.,  for  example,  who  were  eager  to  share  problems  with  that  cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  refugee  resettlement  program  (run  by  the  same  parent  contractor  but  not  the  same  subcontractor).  But  if  that  is  looking  at  the  glass  half-­empty,  proponents  should  also  accept  that  such  a  perspective  is  not  done  with  ill  intent  as  much  as  it  is  with  a  cautionary  tale  that  not  all  programs  are  without  their  problems,  and  that  the  community  is  best  served  by  learning  all  it  can  before  making  a  commitment.  Proponents  should  also  accept  that  it  is  reasonable  to  wonder  why  a  blank  DSSOLFDWLRQ IRUP KDV QRW EHHQ SURYLGHG" ,V WKDW UHDOO\ SURSULHWDU\ DQG LV WKHUH QR ZD\ WR JHW DURXQG WKDW" $QG ZK\ PDNH D WRZQ UHVHDUFK REYLRXV TXHVWLRQV WKDW VKRXOG EH RQ DQ LQLWLDO KDQGRXW WR DQ\ LQTXLULQJ FRPPXQLW\" :K\ LVQÂśW that  the  obligation  of  the  VRRP,  as  dictated  by  the  state  agency  overseeing  the  UHIXJHH UHVHWWOHPHQW SURJUDP" ********** At  this  point  in  the  Rutland  controversy,  what  seems  obvious  is  this:  Â&#x2021; ,QYLWLQJ 6\ULDQ UHIXJHHV LQWR DQ\ FRPPXQLW\ LQ WRGD\ÂśV SROLWLFDO HQYLURQ-­ ment  will  prompt  legitimate  concerns  by  residents  of  the  host  community.  Because  of  that  underlying  fear,  public  transparency  is  essential.

Gift  to  refugees  re-­stored  hope The  Middlebury  Refugee  Re-­ settlement  Committee  would  like  to  express  its  sincere  thanks  to  Roger  Paquette  of  Paquette  Storage  for  his  gracious  offer  of  storage  space  in  an  empty  trailer  on  his  storage  lot.  Not  only  did  Roger  offer  storage  space  for  donated  furniture  and  other  household  goods,  he  also  arranged  for  one  of  his  drivers,  Randy,  to  drive  the  large  tractor  trailer  from  East  Middlebury  to  the  Vermont  Refugee  Center  in  Colchester.  This  obviated  the  need  for  many  volunteers  to  make  multiple  trips  in  their  own  pickup  trucks  to  the  storage  facility  in  Colchester.  Now,  many  refugees  can  own  a  table  at  which  to  have  a  meal,  a  sofa  or  chair  in  which  to  relax,  and  many  other  items  to  make  them  feel  at  home  in  their  new  country.

Thank  you  so  much,  Roger,  for  your  gracious  and  caring  offer  to  help  with  the  refugee  resettlement  ef-­ fort.  Your  contribution  will  be  much  appreciated  by  many  individuals.

Center  Director  George  Sabol  stated,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our  students  have  a  week  full  of  activities  planned  at  our  cen-­ ter  including  a  bury  bullying  event  and  a  presentation  by  our  world  fa-­ mous  Bruce  and  Hobbes.  Several  of  the  events  our  Y2Y  committee  has  organized  are  also  open  to  the  public.  We  are  very  excited  about  opening  our  doors  to  the  commu-­ nity  as  they  join  us  in  being  Part-­ ners  4  Peace.  We  also  want  to  show  our  sincere  appreciation  to  our  uni-­ formed  partners  for  peace  including  the  Vergennes  Police  Department,  State  Police,  Sheriffâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Department,  Vergennes  Fire  Department  and Â

surrounding  departments,  First  Re-­ sponders  and  the  Vergennes  Area  Rescue  Squad.â&#x20AC;?

Middlebury Moth-­UP has brought students, professors, alumni and members of the greater Vermont commu-­ nity together to tell stories on a given theme.

The event has two rules: one, all stories must be true;; two, no notes. For the fourth year running, the Moth-­UP has joined forces with the Mahaney Center for the Arts to produce Cocoon for an even larger audience. Support for the event was granted by Middlebury’s Committee on the Arts.

Cocoon will take place on Friday, Oct. 7, at 8 p.m. in Robison Hall at the Mahaney Center for the Arts.

The Mahaney Center is located on the campus of Middlebury College, at 72 Porter Field Road, just off Route 30 South and South Main Street. Free parking is available curbside on Route 30 or in the Center for the Arts parking lot in rows marked faculty/staff/visitors.

Tickets are $12 for the general public;; $10 for Middlebury College faculty, staff, alumni, emeriti and other ID card holders;; and $6 for Middlebury College students. For tickets or further information, call (802) 443-­MIDD (6433) or go to http://go.middlebury.edu/ arts.
