legalization of marijuana, he told the Boston Herald.

Along with Vermonters, residents in Alaska, California, Colorado, Washington DC, Maine, Massachusetts, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington are also expected to see a rate increase.

It doesn’t matter if the driver in the vehicle has ever used cannabis, according to Herald, just the fact that they live in a state that has legalized its use, the roads are considered more dangerous in the eyes of insurance companies.

So what does that mean for insurance companies who insure Vermont drivers?

Well, according to public information by the DMV, Vermont has about 615,950 vehicles registered in the state. The best estimates are that the added cost of insuring those vehicles could top $28 million to their owners.

Lynch said the insurance groups studied Colorado, Oregon, and Washington, only to determine that vehicle crashes increased in those states since they opened the legalized marijuana market.

NO CHILD SEAT LEADS TO CHARGES

Vermont State Police responded to Route 105 in Berkshire on October 19th for the report of a vehicle that had gone off the roadway. When police arrived, they discovered that the driver, Jessica Gokey, 33, of Milton had three children in her vehicle at the time of the crash.

Two of the children did not have a child safety seat, and the third had a child safety seat that didn’t fit.

Subsequently, police charged Gokey with three counts of child cruelty along with one count of negligent operation.

She is due in court on November 19th.

NEED TO REDUCE OUT TAX BURDEN

We need people in Montpelier that will represent our interests.

Vermont continues to become less afordable each year. James Gregoire will work to reduce our tax burden rather than add to it. He is the kind of person that will work with anyone to get things done. That is the kind of representative that we need in Montpelier. James will be a great representative for Fairfield, Fletcher and Bakersfield.

Our community would greatly benefit from her experience, powerful leadership and advocacy for our families, and their children.

Back before there was a Mylan, or a Ben and Jerry’s.

When Fonda’s was cranking out paper cups, and “The Carbon” flashlights. When Century Arms was still on Federal street, and the wonderful Co-op store wasn’t.

When NCSS was only on the West side of the Fisher Pond road, and the State Police barracks wasn’t there at all. When Collins Perley was in its infancy, NMC was yet another reiteration of Jeannie Kerbs’ hospital, there was no NOTCH, and there was no Wal Mart, ….

Way back then, down Lower Newton, on the right, just before Sticks & Stuff, was the Family Center, and before that, in Alburg, my all-time favorite, the Champlain Islands Parent Child center. These were truly amazing programs, the best of the best, compassionate one stop shopping for anything a family might need from our community for their children.

It was there I learned of the power of community based interdisciplinary team collaboration to best address the needs of families. Pam was/is one of my most valued teachers.

I feel as though we crawled out of our professional infancy together.

Pam’s CV now details 20 years of powerful leadership/advocacy for our community’s family centered responsibilities, leading to her current position as Boss of the Vermont Family Network.

It would be a shame, a tremendous opportunity lost, not to have Pam represent us and the needs of our community in the Senate, a position where her leadership, passion and experience will bring system level advocacy for the benefit of our families, our community, and our state.

VALUES MATTER

James Gregoire is a no nonsence, results oriented, common sence type of guy that we can rely on to fight for our interests in Montpelier. I like that James will stand up for

this principals, but does so in a respectful, professional manner.

James had strong core beliefs but isnt afraid to work with thers to get things done. He does not put politics above people.

I think James is the best candidate to represent the small town values of Fairfield, Bakersfield and Fletcher.

Gavin Ryan Fairfield

I SUPPORT FELISHA, AND SO SHOULD YOU

I have known Cindy Weed for many years. I respect her as a member of the community and a mother. This said I do not support her political views and her voting record. She has sponsored over a dozen bills and 5 resolutions. She also co-sponsored over 75 bills and another 68 resolutions. She has also stated that she wants to work on all the bills that did not get passed. Flooding Montpelier with random bills and resolutions is not representing the needs of our towns or respecting and representing our voices. It shows that she is representing her own agenda and political preferences over our needs.

More examples of this are how she pushed for a $15 minimum wage. If passed, businesses will be forced to lay off employees to be able to afford the 50% increase in payroll costs. $15 is not the only cost to businesses when wages go up. The employers must match the increase in social security, unemployment, workman’s compensation, not to mention the associated state taxes that are levied on a business based on payroll. This increase in cost for the businesses will be transferred to the elderly and working class that patron these businesses.

The carbon tax: That will be coming back up this session.

Again, this will hit the elderly, working class, and those who commute to their jobs. A tax on heating fuel, gas, propane gas, and natural gas will have an ill effect on the citizens of Vermont and will discourage one of our largest industries, tourism, as well as discouraging people from moving here.

Single payer health care: The Shumlin administration tried this and after spending millions of dollars, scrapped the plan. The reason they gave is that Vermont just can not afford it.

Gun Bills: Cindy voted for all three gun bills. I cannot understand why she voted to eliminate high capacity clips, but A Fresh Voice for a Safer, More Affordable Vermont.

“I have Felisha called The Green Mountain State, Vote if you want a particularly Enosburgh, my home for as hardworking voice taking long as I can remember. on the tough issues!

I am incredibly proud of the community

Affordability Safe Communities that I grew up in, and I believe that my drive to help others, problem The solve, and toCrisis serve Our Economy Opioid can best be fulfilled here. I am dedicated to

turns around and says that if you have one already, you can keep it.

What is there to stop gun owners from buying one from another state? There are so many other contradictions in those three bills just like that. How is a thing like that supposed to help anyone or keep people safe?

Like I said before, I respect Cindy as a person and mother, but I will not be voting for her. She represents her own agenda, not the needs of the people and votes for bills that cost Vermonters dearly. Most of her votes hurt our hard working middle class, our elderly, and our families.

I urge everyone to go to the polls on November 6th and cast your ballot for Felisha Leffler.

She really stands as an energetic, fresh voice ready to represent Enosburgh and Montgomery and with her experience, I have no doubt we will see great things from her as our Representative.

WHY SHERIFF’S EMPLOYEES ARE ENDORSING TOM

“FRANKLIN COUNTY SHERIFFS OFFICE EMPLOYEES ENDORSE THOMAS OLIVER FOR SHERIFF.” This is the message on a 4’x8’ vinyl sign that has been placed at various residences around Franklin County. I would like to start by thanking everyone for the overwhelming support for the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office employees. I will apologize for not getting the sign to the many people that requested it all over Franklin County. I have tried to place the sign in the highest visible, and highest traffic areas to spread the Franklin County Sheriffs employee’s message to the public.

The decision to make the sign or to support one candidate over the other can be a hard one for an employee. The sign and the decision to endorse Thomas Oliver is supported by the employees.

Our future and the future of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office will be in the hands of the Sheriff elect. The sign has made it clear who our choice is. I had many conversations with the other employees about the sign and the exact content of the sign before making it. The support was overwhelmingly positive.

The conversations I have had with other employees seemed to have the same common thread, EXPERIENCE. It is well-known that the Sheriff’s Offices in Vermont are very

different to operate than other Law Enforcement Agencies in the State. It can take years to become competent enough to move a Sheriff’s Office forward, lead, and make it better. Both candidates have many years of service in Law Enforcement. We keep hearing a lot about experience.

There is only ONE candidate with actual hands on experience, and vast knowledge of the day to day operations of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office. Not only is he the ONLY candidate with this immense experience and knowledge, but Thomas Oliver has just shy of 20 years’ worth of this experience.

Election time is always a very stressful time for the Employees at Sheriff Departments all over the state. Franklin County Sheriff’s employees are no exception. The worries are always the same.

Will the new Sheriff continue to have contracts with the many Towns and Villages in Franklin County? Will we still have our jobs? Will we continue to have our benefits? Will we continue down our current path becoming a better Police Agency, serving our communities better, and steadily move forward as it has worked for the last 20 years?

Will the new Sheriff have the knowledge and experience to run the day to day operations? And many more questions that cause concern for the Employees and most importantly their families.

Whatever your profession, Nurse, Farmer, Teacher, or many of the other Careers in Franklin County you may have an idea of what the Franklin County Sheriff’s employees go through. From time to time many of us rely on public support. We all have insight into our own job experience, and work environments that no one else has, or knows. We all work, and for the most part, live in Franklin County with our families. Our

County Courier

kids go to the same schools. We shop at the same stores and pay taxes to the same towns. And most importantly we try to support each other and our families. As the sign says, we endorse Thomas Oliver for Sheriff. We are asking for the public to support our decision. Trust that we have knowledge and insight about the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office that no one else has. Please join me on November 6th and vote for the only candidate with the true experience it takes to be Franklin County Sheriff, Thomas Oliver.

are elected on popularity, rather than on beliefs, integrity, and overall qualifications to hold any particular public office.

Individuals elected strictly on popularity is most prevalent in many small towns now. Don’t you want the best qualified electrician, plumber, repairman, etc. to work for you? Why not elected officials also? Forget popularity.

It is interesting and amusing to read letters of opposition and support for candidates in this Newspaper. This is especially so when you know what is written differs from what is. One prime example is where a person wrote in this paper, “I have known Cindy Weed for many years and find her to be a hard working person of integrity.” Integrity?

The definition of integrity is, honesty, truth, uprightness, etc. In March of his year Cindy appeared at Town Meetings with a type written page for a handout.

One topic she referred to was, “safety legislation”. The, “safety legislation” referred to was gun control legislation, pure and simple. Is that honesty, truth, and uprightness? She did not have the backbone, the character, the integrity to be honest with voters and tell it like it is. One could fill pages in this paper with other comments about candidates, some unfounded, some misleading, and some downright false, but his one on integrity really jumped above others.

“Hard working”, won’t argue with that because I don’t know. I do know from first-hand experience how business is conducted in the State House in Montpelier.

It is difficult for lower echelon representatives to sponsor, get co-sponsors, and move a bill through the legislature to being enacted into law. A mention was made in this paper about all of Cindy’s accomplishments. Can that person name one bill that Cindy initiated, (sponsored) that was enacted into law? I believe we must expect that whoever is elected will, “work hard”.

Food for thought for all the liberals out there. For the most part, liberal Democrats have been in control in Montpelier for some time now and what have they done for Vermont? Put Vermont in fourth place, was third, as highest taxed state in the United States. That is percentage of income paid for taxes. Put

November 1, 2018

Vermont ninth as lowest ranked state in 14 regulatory components measured in a Forbes Index. The bottom ranked states experience significantly slower small business growth compared to top ranked states. This is just the tip of the iceberg of negative impacts liberal Democrats have had on Vermont.

Do your homework. Find the facts and truths about candidates.

Be informed voters.

THOMAS OLIVER FOR SHERIFF

I am writing today to encourage the citizens of Franklin County to join me in voting for Thomas Oliver for Sheriff of Franklin

County.

Having known Tom personally for many years, I can confidently assure you of his integrity, professionalism and dedication to the office of Sheriff.

Tom has been with the Sheriff’s office for 29 years, working his way through the ranks to the highest position of Captain & Chief Deputy; he knows the office and the people of Franklin County.

We can be assured that he is committed to Franklin County and has our best interest in mind when he enters our communities!

He has complete knowledge and dedication to the current employees and the position of Sheriff. With this experience and knowledge he can hit the ground running from day one! It speaks volumes to me that he has the support and endorsement of our current Sheriff, Robert Norris, as well as the employees of the Franklin County Sheriff’s office.

I own a business here in Enosburg Falls and am an active member of my community.

There are local efforts in many of our communities toward economic development and revitalization. I have personally seen Tom interacting with community members, listening to their concerns and offering concrete examples and ideas for improvement. I have no doubt that Tom will take his current knowledge of the office, along with his own vision and continue to help move Franklin County in a positive direction.

Please make the right choice for Franklin County, join me before or on November 6th in voting for Thomas Oliver, Sheriff of Franklin County.

Most importantly, vote this is not the year to be complacent.

Your voice matters!

Shawna Lovelette Enosburg

THE NEGATIVITY IS ASTOUNDING

With respect to respect. Wow! If you have been following the current State Representative race between Leffler and Weed, you know how heated it has become.

The negativity is astounding. The muckraking unmistakable. Please pull back the reins.

I encountered unsubstantiated anti gay and hate group accusations toward Ms. Leffler.

None of which are true. We should be discussing the real issues without the petty rhetoric. And for all concerned, please leave the signs alone! It’s childish. Not to mention expensive.

I had the opportunity to talk with Ms. Leffler. I found Ms. Leffler to be informed, articulate, energetic and sincere. No pointing fingers without the facts.

Leffler sticks to facts, beams bipartisanship, transparency and doesn’t jump to conclusions. She is very well versed and will do right by all of us.

Felisha! Thank you. Keep up the hard work. We’ve noticed.

WHY PAM IS BEST

Some important concerns seem to get drowned out amid all the noise of electioneering.

Supporting Vermont families, whatever their shape, size, or composition, is the most important thing a state Senator can do. Supporting Vermont families encompasses nearly everything the legislature deals with, from jobs to food, from child care and education to posthigh school training and access to college, from transportation to health care, from prisons to addiction treatment, from the health of business to the health of the environment, and much more.

One Franklin County state Senate candidate is uniquely qualified to act on every proposal from the standpoint and experience of supporting families.

That candidate is Pam McCarthy.

She has seen families at their best and worst times. She has worked in a number of nonprofit agencies focused on how to help families thrive. She has seen the impact of government policies at the ground level in Franklin County and elsewhere. She’s a caring mother and grandmother, whose family has personal experience with substance use disorders and mental health challenges, as well as significant health concerns like MS, CF, diabetes, and cardiac issues. She always considers both the present-day impact and the cost and effectiveness legacy a policy will leave for future generations.

Pam McCarthy is strong, energetic, and — most importantly — SHOWS UP for meetings, discussions, hearings and votes. With an already impressive resume, she’s running for state Senate to serve Franklin County in a new way.

State Senator Carolyn Branagan has earned my respect for her thoughtfulness and willingness to engage her colleagues from other parties to find a way to move forward. She has again earned my respect by endorsing Pam McCarthy for state Senate from Franklin County.

Please join Senator Branagan and me in voting for Pam McCarthy for state Senate.

OLIVER IS A BETTER CANDIDATE

We are very fortunate here in Franklin County to have two highly experienced law enforcement officers vying for the office of Sheriff.

Tom Oliver and Roger Langevin have both served this county with pride and dedication.

I know them both personally and professionally.

Roger served as a Trooper for number of years, leaving VSP to become a school resource officer at the St. Albans City Police Department. Good departments, good experience.

Tom Oliver has served as an officer in the Franklin County Sheriff’s Department for all of his career. He has worked his way up through the ranks and earned his current position as second in command here in Franklin County. Again, good department, good experience.

The Messenger has posed a number of questions to each of the candidates and, not surprisingly, their answers show they both have an understanding of the problems in our communities and are willing to step forward to help.

The difference in the two candidates as I see it is this: The sheriff’s offices in Vermont are run in a rather unique way.

Each has essentially a three part budget, the State funds for two deputy positions for civil process and prisoner transportation, the County funds for courthouse security, office staff and office space, and the contracted funds for patrol deputies, when communities that cannot afford their own police department obtain individual contracts for additional dedicated police coverage.

Our new Sheriff will need to know the intricacies of operating each of the segments of the department from day one.

I believe that Roger Langevin is a good police officer. I also, however, believe that Tom Oliver is a better candidate for Sheriff and is much more equipped to seamlessly step in to the office of Sheriff due to his extensive and

direct working knowledge of the functions of the Sheriff’s office.

In this day and age it is necessary to have consistency in our police coverage, particularly in towns requiring contracted service. I believe Tom can, and will be able to lead the Sheriff’s office in every function immediately. This is very important to all of us.

In my 30 year law enforcement career, most of which was here in Franklin County, I have met and served with many excellent Sheriffs and Deputies. I count Tom Oliver among these.

Tom Oliver has paid his dues and through his hard work and dedication he has earned the opportunity to be elected our next Franklin County Sheriff.

Michael R. McCarthy Georgia

TOM OLIVER: INTEGRITY, EXPERIENCE, READINESS, ACCOUNTABILITY

Tom Oliver is an outstanding candidate for Franklin County Sheriff.

His career in law enforcement has prepared him for this moment, and he will bring integrity, experience, and accountability to step into the role of Sheriff. He has extensive experience in the field and in supervision and training of staff, both of which provide for an effective transition in leadership of Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.

The funding for sheriff’s offices in Vermont is unique among law enforcement agencies in the state. The intent of the Vermont legislature was to create an entrepreneurial operation, encouraging sheriffs to seek sources of funding to operate their agencies.

Unlike other law enforcement agencies, the sheriff must actively seek funding through grants offered at the state level and federal level. As well,

sheriffs are encouraged to seek contracts with municipalities as well as with private contractors requiring the use of “blue lights” for the safety of their operation.

Together, these are the sources of support for the operations of a Vermont sheriff’s office.

Tom Oliver has had the experience of assisting in a variety of these funding and supervisory endeavors. The one particularly unique to a sheriff’s office is the need to successfully write state and federal grants for continued operations as well as for upgrade and expansion of equipment.

Tom’s established experience is vital to the continued smooth operation of the Franklin County Sheriff’s Office.

Integrity, Experience, Readiness, Accountability: Please strongly consider Tom Oliver for your vote for your next Franklin County Sheriff.

school resource officers in three of the five high schools in Franklin County. We have participated and continue to participate in many joint drug investigations and operations with all law enforcement agencies in and around the Franklin County area.

We built this office into something that we, and all of Franklin County, can be proud of.

We continue to work in the best interest of all communities and presently employ approximately 40 sworn officers and two civilian employees. Our equipment is second to no other Franklin County Law Enforcement Agency. We continue to grow with your help.

Seldom in my voting life have I felt so strongly that a candidate is the ideal person for the job of representing me in government as I do Cindy Weed.

I appreciate that: Cindy shows up. She cast a ballot in 96% of the votes in the House over the past two years.

Cindy is responsive. She replies to emails and answers questions about bills.

Cindy does her homework and is an active participant in the legislative process adding her perspective to discussions in committee and on the floor.

Cindy is a communicator.

She keeps the community informed speaking from her own keen understanding of what is happening in Montpelier.

Cindy votes to support children and families and the sustainable long-term economic health of Franklin county and Vermont.

Cindy is respected by her peers in the House. She values civility

RETIRING REP BACKS LANGAVIN

I would like to add my support for Roger Langevin to be our next Franklin County Sheriff. I have known Roger for years, watching him grow as a student athlete to his career in law enforcement from part time in the Sheriff’s Department to the Vermont State Police and then the St. Albans Police Department.

Roger is a uniter, has excellent people skills and a real sense of what needs to be done to help folks in crisis in a positive way while carrying out his duties.

I have watched the importance family is to Roger Langevin and how it consistently flows through to his work in his treatment of children, young adults and all of our citizens. I am thankful our younger generations will have the opportunity on their first encounter to have it be with someone who truly cares, knows the law and carries it out with dignity and respect to the recipient.

I am proud to support and

endorse Roger Langevin for sheriff of Franklin County. Please vote for him on Election Day! Rep. Kathleen Keenan St. Albans

THINK OF THE CHILDREN, LONG TERM

The November 4th election provides the opportunity for us to strengthen our Vermont tradition of valuing the needs, the hopes and the wishes of all Franklin County individuals. To build a support system that secures a stable future for all of us, we need a strong, consistent, well-educated representative. I endorse Kelly Cummings to work for us. For years I have watched Kelly work consistently to support the best outcomes for citizens by studying the state laws and making certain equal justice was available for all, not just a few.

I have watched Kelly help people in our community to work their way through legal jargon to solve their problems. She is persistent in working for the good of all. It is time for Kelly Cummings to work for us in Montpelier. She has worked for 15 years on community concerns and now is fully aware of where we need to make improvements to support opportunities for greater success. First, Kelly stresses the importance of meeting the needs of each child and family.

Supporting each child’s learning plan may offer hope and a path to success. Secondly, to support the child and family, there is the need for a living wage and a consistent health plan. Why? Healthy, hopeful, secure families go a long way toward cutting the opioid epidemic.

Children with hope and the possibility of success would be headed to job training, not detention centers or jails.

This plan to meet the needs of individuals seems to me a needed new approach which will ultimately save taxpayers $30,000 to $50,000 per child each year avoiding imprisonment costs. This thinking is a new approach to benefit all: children, families and taxpayers. I support Kelly Cummings as a thoughtful hard-working representative who will work for the good of all of us.

CINDY DOESN’T REPRESENT THIS FARMER

I was at the debate between Felisha Leffler and Cindy Weed at the school auditorium a few weeks ago and I’m still thinking about how disconnected Cindy is to the people she’s supposed to represent.

She claims to have been on a family farm for 45 years, but I doubt she has any idea what that actually means. Having grown up a farmer, working now as a farmer, knowing what it takes; I’m honestly disgusted by this claim. While we work day and night, she doesn’t know what it takes.

She always talks a good game about how she is for workers and wants to help people make a good living. But when it comes to helping farmers, when I specifically asked her how all of these increases that keep hard working people making the same amount as the new employees because the state changed the minimum wage, she wouldn’t answer me straight. She said, “We bend over backward to help our farmers…” I’m sorry, but WHAT! This lady sides with the politicians that want to get rid of our farms and voted for the bill that said, “order requires cessation of agricultural practices”. So is she really for farmers? I don’t think so one bit!!

I’m voting for Felisha because even though we disagree on some subjects, she listens to me and actually wants to work together with us. She wants to know what can help my family, our farms, and our community. You have to go vote November 6th and vote for Felisha because if you don’t we are going to be stuck with a person that doesn’t know what we need and doesn’t care.

Vote Felisha!!

BACKING COREY

I’m writing this letter to the editor because I want to express my support for Corey Parent for State Senate. I first got to know Corey a few years ago when he was a coach for my son’s hockey team. He gave his time because of his love for the game, love for the St. Albans Hockey program

The feeling of devastation from this past week’s racist, antisemitic, political violence is really sinking in, and it is sickeningly familiar.

The actions, reactions, and lack of actions by our federal administration to these events - boiler-plate condolences and condemnations, victim-blaming, redirection, even identification with (white) Nationalism - is equally sickening, equally familiar. People of color, Jews, LGBTQ people, women, poor people, refugees and immigrants, indigenous people, and so many others have been suffering these atrocities for a long, long time, in this country and across the world and throughout time; placing this violence in a historical context makes it seem like a small paragraph in an epic tome. My heart is breaking for so many who suffer, seen and invisible, and my prayer is for us all to fight as hard

and because he wanted our kids to have the same experience he had growing up. In short, he did it for the right reasons.

The same goes for Corey’s service in Montpelier. I can tell when I talk to him he is passionate about the issues, our county, and it’s future. Corey has sought my advice and the advice of others who work on the front lines and in the industries that might be impacted by legislation in Montpelier, and he listens.

This is precisely what we need in our leaders. People who listen.

Corey will continue to be a champion for an affordable Vermont, for economic growth and our dairy industry.

He understands that we cannot sustain the trend our state has been on for the last decade and he will work tirelessly to bring Franklin County values to the State Senate.

When I think about who best understands me, my family and what it will take for my children to build prosperous lives in Vermont – I know the answer, and it’s Corey Parent. That is why I urge my friends from across Franklin County to elect Corey Parent as our next State Senator.

Our county needs him, and our future will be brighter with him in Montpelier.

November 1, 2018 as we’ve ever fought in our lives to write the next paragraph in our own voice.

I’m saying this to myself as much as to anyone else, because it just cannot be said enough right now - please don’t give up and give in to fear and cynicism. We need each other more than we’ve ever experienced in our lives.

Find your place of power and act through love especially when it’s scary - call out violence when you see it, shine love when you can offer it, make art and music when you can create it, amplify the voices of those you know cannot be heard, especially if you stand in a place of privilege.

Do not accept this as normal or acceptable, commit in our hearts and in our actions to resist the fear and violence that is gripping our culture and society. And for the love of us all, please vote while we have many tools at our disposal to take action, this one is particularly important, especially at a time when our democratic institutions are particularly vulnerable.

COLLINS WILL SERVE US WELL IN MONTPELIER

Linda Collins has the knowledge and experience to serve the towns of Berkshire, Richford, Highgate, and Franklin as our State Representative in Montpelier.

Her 30 plus years as a 12th grade English Teacher gives her a broad understanding of the education system and how it operates. By serving for years as Chair of the Richford Select Board, she is aware of community needs.

Collins is honest, trustworthy and gets the job done. The kind of representation we need in Montpelier. Please join me in voting for Linda Collins at the polls in your town on November 6. Your vote does count and it does make a difference.

THEY DON’T WANT FREE STUFF

I want to share a story of a young couple who are doing their best to survive in a difficult economic time. They both work jobs that pay little more than minimum wage. They were keeping up with their bills until one of their vehicles needed a major repair and they fell behind. Their power was

shut off. They scraped together all they had to pay what was due, but it wasn’t enough to restore power. Meanwhile because of the drought, they had been out of water for weeks. They still had to do laundry, take showers, pay other bills, buy gas to get to work, and buy food.

If they lived in any other community but Bakersfield, no one but their own immediate family would ever have been aware of their troubles. But Bakersfield is very fortunate to have a fund set aside specifically to assist people in crises just like this – where one domino of a shaky economic structure falls, and then the whole thing comes crashing down, resulting in possible job loss, eviction, homelessness, and despair. A relatively small amount of emergency assistance can make a huge difference. These young people are trying to do the right thing: working, paying bills, hoping eventually to be able to even buy a home. Why is it that the income from two jobs is not enough for a couple to live on and save a little every week for a rainy day fund for emergencies?

When people working fulltime can’t pay their bills, while big business and the rich are receiving record profits and huge tax breaks, something is seriously wrong.

Many of our local candidates are promising to make Vermont more affordable. By this, they mean they will cut taxes, and pledge to never vote for a new tax, no matter what. Here’s a news flash: cutting taxes will do absolutely nothing to make Vermont more affordable for this couple, and for countless other working citizens who are struggling to make ends meet. These people usually fly under the radar and the stories of their struggles seldom get told, so they are easy to ignore. They don’t want free stuff. They just want their jobs to pay enough to cover their living expenses.

To those candidates who say cutting taxes is the way toward affordability, please let us know the details of your plan for helping people in this situation.

Because you are being elected to

represent ALL of us, not just your own supporters and donors.

There is not a simple answer to this problem, which has been growing worse because wages are stagnant while the cost of living is soaring out of sight. “Cutting Taxes?” It’s a great buzz phrase, catchy, and appeals to a good segment of our population, those who are more or less insulated from the kind of crises facing so many people today. I will be voting for candidates who understand that real solutions are going to require in-depth understanding of the whole system, openness to innovative strategies, and respect for all, along with dedicated hard work.

WE NEED POP. GROWTH, NOT TAX GROWTH

Felisha Leffler is spot on with the problems in our state, something that our current representation has failed to see.

An increase in taxes doesn’t spur growth. It doesn’t make people want to move here.

We are having a decrease in population in Vermont when the rest of the country is seeing their populations grow. That’s why I’m happy to see a young face stay in the state and want to make a difference.

Please join me in voting Felisha Leffler for state representative, because we can’t afford the road we’ve taken in the past two years.

SUPPORTING VAUGHN

I am writing to support Vaughn Comeau for Probate Judge. On the November ballot, you will see Vaughn listed as Republican.

There is good reason for this.

When he lost the Democratic primary by a small margin and won the Republican primary as a write-in, Vaughn decided, with the encouragement of many of

us, (including the majority of his fellow attorneys), to stay in the race for Probate Judge. As you may know, I have long been active in the Progressive Party, and generally don’t stray on the ballot. Especially in our hyperlocal races in Vermont, a person’s character and qualifications is more important than party affiliation. Although we elect probate judges, they may not subscribe to any partisan platform.

Democrats, Republicans, Progressives and Independents alike can rest assured that Vaughn is the most qualified and prepared candidate for this position and he will be an asset to our county as Probate Judge for years to come.

Join me in voting for Vaughn on November 6.

SOCIALISM MIGHT NOT WORK, BUT EITHER DOES CAPITALISM

VOTE FOR LINDA

The voters of Richford, Berkshire, Franklin and Highgate have an important decision to make on election day. There are a number of candidates on the ballot. I believe that if you take at good look at their accomplishments, that Linda Collins stands head and shoulders above the other candidates.

As long as I have known her she has worked tirelessly to improve the lives of people in her community. For many years she has been an important member of Notch Health Center (Board of Directors). Think back to before the Health Center was part of our communities, Linda was a important voice in establishing the health centers.

For a number of years Linda has served as member of the Richford select board. She currently serves as chairman. It seems that every time I hear of something positive happening in Richford, Linda is behind it.

I have served on the NOTCH board with Linda. Linda is a proactive member, she raises important questions and is not afraid to challenge long held assumptions.

Linda has the experience, intelligence and ability to represent Richford, Berkshire, Franklin and Highgate in. The Vermont legislature.

Please vote Linda Collins for state representative.

Regarding Ms Zecchinelli”s LTE last week, where she says socialism doesn’t work, well capitalism, by itself doesn’t work so well either, especially for the many, witness the 2008 collapse, The Great Depression, many periodic collapse prior, and the “failing” market today. We need a blend, like Progressivism, a la Teddy Roosevelt and Bob La Follette, to blunt the sharp edge of cut throat capitalism. see LETTERS Todays corporative page 39 government, bloated defense spending and historically high wealth inequality need Progressives like Cindy Weed, Putting families, education, no stranger to entrepreneurship and affordability first! her self, or the holding of private property.

HOWRIGAN’S WIT AND WISDOM

Remembering time in the House

Richard Howrigan stands in the House before he retired in this 2010 County Courier file photo.

By Ruthie Laroche For the County Courier Richard “Dick” Howrigan of Fairfield served on Vermont’s legislature from 1994 to 2012.

Known for his lively sense of humor and quick wit, Howrigan brought a lifetime of experience with him when he joined Vermont’s legislature.

Serving on the legislature gave Howrigan the opportunity to be a voice for the area and the way of life that had formed the foundation of the towns he served.

Howrigan returned to live permanently in Fairfield after an early retirement due to health problems. Not one to take it easy, he decided to turn his energies to

the Vermont State.

Although he hadn’t been raised on a farm, Howrigan had a deep respect for the farming community and spent time working on local farms during his younger years. He was also an active member of the local 4-H community as a child.

“I had many relatives who owned farms while I was growing up. I spent time doing chores, sugaring, and milking. I milked cows for two summers while I was at St. Mike’s, and I always raised calves while I was in grade school,” said Howrigan.

Of the many activities he was part of in the legislature, one particular event was a favorite.

The Legislative Breakfasts,

which he did his best to bring to the towns he represented, stand out in his mind.

Legislative Breakfasts provide a place for business, civic, and community leaders to meet and discuss upcoming policy developments at the state and local level. They are traditionally attended by state representatives, state senators and executivebranch officials.

“We’d have a lot of conversation about a lot of good issues,” said Howrigan.

Much like today, education was a topic the legislature visited during Howrigan’s time in office, and two bills, in particular, stand

out in his mind.

“I voted for Act 60 and Act 68, but we should have had a year of breathing between the two. We put Act 68 through too quickly; I don’t think it was really thought out,” explained Howrigan.

When it comes to current educational issues, Howrigan isn’t fond of the current Act 46 and it’s far reaching control of small town schools.

“My vision would be to have one district from the Lamoille River to the Canadian border.

Everything west of I-89 would be one district with one CEO. I went to more than one meeting about this. A couple of the superintendents weren’t too happy about that, but I told them

their golf game would improve,” said Howrigan with his usual, quick wit.

“After you come up into the hills--Fairfax, Fletcher, Bakersfield, Franklin--things are different here. I’m proud of what the town Franklin did to stand up to Act 46. The Board of Education changes constantly, but the people who have roots in these towns have to face these issues and their consequences every day,” explained Howrigan.

Even though he hasn’t served on the legislature in nearly a decade, the educational piece remains a priority to Howrigan.

“I taught school for eight years, and I understand that the kids we

November 1, 2018 are educating are our future.”

Howrigan also worked on the public safety budget; he wanted the State Troopers to be a line item in the budget and not a part of public transportation.

“It’s a totally different discipline between railroad crossings and railroad culverts.

The State Troopers are now a line item in the budget, and I’m glad they are. It took quite a while to get that,” noted Howrigan.

Restoring older buildings for modern use was another project that Howrigan took part in.

“There are many unknowns when you work with rehabbing a building. You just have to make sure that you have a welleducated team,” said Howrigan.

He was part of a project in Windsor, Vermont, that bought the prison in the area and turned it into veteran’s apartments. He also helped to keep the convent on Lake Street in St. Albans so that it could be used for apartments.

Brigham Academy was another building Howrigan had in mind for rehabilitation. Plans were made to restore the building and turn it into apartments. Money had been allocated for the project through HUD, but three days after the start of Desert Storm, the money was frozen.

Howrigan noted that most of the housing in Vermont is done by non-profits. He would like to see more for-profit interests come into Vermont to invest in housing.

The legislative work that kept Howrigan busy for nearly two decades is dear to his heart. He is responsible for bringing about $2 million into the town of Fairfield to help fund various projects.

Establishing Fairfield’s water system, known as Fire District Number 2, was another project that Howrigan helped bring to fruition.

The restoration of the covered bridge in Fairfield was also part of Howrigan’s restoration projects. Senator Warner of West Virginia put together an amendment to restore wooden bridges; Howrigan received the funds needed to restore the Fairfield covered bridge through that amendment.

“It didn’t cost Fairfield a cent,” said Howrigan, happily.

As much as the legislature was all business, Howrigan noted that a sense of humor can help ease tense moments.

“We worked on one bill having to do with discrimination, the Masons, the Knights of Columbus, and the Lions Club. It was about discrimination in these clubs. The debate went along for about three hours, and we broke at 11:45.”

“I had a bill and I wanted to see if it was germane. I asked Bob Milne if my bill would be germane with what we had been talking about. It had to do with

an unconstitutional statute. A single male cannot own sheep in Vermont. I’d like to have that repealed,” said Howrigan, laughing heartily, “He thought it was. To make it short form, I presented it and the meeting was adjourned. They all roared.”

Howrigan was born at Fanny Allen hospital on February 14, 1933. He spent his childhood in Franklin County and then attended St. Michael’s College where he studied Humanities, graduating in 1956.

While he was studying at St. Michael’s the Korean War broke out. Eager to serve, Howrigan enlisted in the military.

His military unit was activated while he was in college and he reported to Fort Devens in Massachusetts.

“The boys all went to Germany,” Howrigan explained, “Shortly before they left we had fried chicken, and I was rolling on the floor in the morning.”

Howrigan was taken to the hospital where he was diagnosed with gallstones and had his gallbladder and appendix removed.

“The boys in my unit were in Germany and they’d say, ‘Get over here! The meals are beautiful, the beer is great, but the women are beautiful also,’” said Howrigan with a hearty laugh, “I never got overseas; they wouldn’t even let me peel potatoes!”

Eventually, a man named Captain Reynolds, from Essex Junction, recommended that Howrigan go back to St. Michael’s College to complete his education.

After graduating from college, Howrigan held various jobs. He worked in the propane industry, delivered bread for the Tip Top Bread Company, and helped relatives with sugaring and farming. He also worked for Equitable Life doing appraisals, predominantly in the farming industry.

In 1962, life brought another opportunity for Howrigan. His brother, who was at St. Michael’s College at the time, told him about the Peace Corps.

“He told me they needed some farm fellows,” said Howrigan.

Howrigan and his brother traveled to Georgetown University in Washington, D.C for language training.

Prior to his time at Georgetown, Howrigan had the opportunity to work with Dr. Eleanor Luce, a Vermont doctor who went on to have a successful career in her field. Today, the UVM Eleanor M. Luce Center for Communication, Speech, Language, and Hearing is named after her.

“I used to stutter terribly,” explained Howrigan.

Howrigan recalled his first meeting with Dr. Luce.

#WalkAway Paid for by Vermont Citizens for a Respectful Society

“Dr. Luce remarked that I had an Irish name and asked me if I sang. I told her I enjoyed singing and that I’d sang at 23 weddings and only had two divorces out of the whole group. She asked how I had such a low number, and I told her none of them wanted to go through the Valley of Death

• again,” said Howrigan laughing.

The work with Dr. Luce helped Howrigan overcome his stuttering, and when he headed to Georgetown he was ready to learn what he’d need to speak well in the Peace Corps.

Howrigan arrived at Georgetown in June of 1962,

shortly after his father’s death in May. While he was at Georgetown University for language training, Howrigan was invited to meet

By 2005, the decision was made to add football to the high school’s fall sports offerings.

That was good news for the Patriots, but it also meant more fundraising and another level of organization. The program came under the school’s jurisdiction, but it was not funded by the school athletic program until a number of years later.

With the start of the high school program, the home field had to be brought to high school regulation size.

The Milton program generously donated field goals for the BFA Fairfax high school team; those same goal posts were used until this year when high school team was able to acquire new, yellow goal posts.

In 2009, the team moved to the Recreation Park in Fairfax, placing it closer to the school. Everything from the old field had to be moved

to the rec field, including the storage sheds and the goal posts.

The amount of time and effort needed to establish the Patriots football program was enormous, but the end result has been worth the work.

“Football was set in place to give kids who didn’t want to play other fall sports an option they’d enjoy,” explained McNall.

McNall stayed with the program after her own children graduated, leaving just three years ago.

“It’s great to see that the program didn’t lose its gusto. The board has kept the transition smooth and lots of people stepped up. It’s so good to see how successful it has been.”

McNall recalled that the vision of the Patriots youth program was farreaching from the start.

“It takes ten years to build a successful program. We created the football program for the second graders that were going to play flag

their acceptance on a business trip.

She and the other volunteers rushed to get the team ready for the July deadline.

One of the first things the team needed was a field; a cornfield on Two River farm was transformed into a football field in 2003.

“It took a lot of time and commitment from the community to get that field ready,” McNall recalled, “that field was our home until 2008.”

Since the field was located on a working farm, it came complete with agricultural scenery.

“It was great having it up on the cornfield because that’s Vermont.

You have to use what you have to use, and our kids loved being ‘Children of the Corn.’” said McNall with a chuckle, “The field was surrounded by corn, alfalfa, and groundhogs. Interestingly the groundhogs never touched the field.”

explained, “she was instrumental in getting things going.”

Fairfax had twenty kids playing for the Milton youth football program at the time.

“When our kids reached the eighth grade, we knew they’d have to play high school at Rice,” said McNall.

Private school was out of the question, so McNall put a new plan in action. Taking the knowledge she’d gained from her years in Milton, she decided to start a program in Fairfax.

After assessing the amount of work it would take to get the fledgling program on its feet, McNall left her full-time job and went to work part-time.

“I worked nonstop on football the first year,” said McNall.

The Patriots applied for entry into the Vermont Youth Football Association in February of 2003.

McNall received notification of

By Ruthie Laroche For the County Courier Rain and cold temperatures didn’t stop the Fairfax faithful from supporting their high school football team on Saturday. The Bullets earned the win over Springfield and a trip to the semi finals this coming weekend.

Many players on the high school team got their start on Patriots youth teams; the backbone of the Fairfax football program.

Don Demar has been with the Patriots since the first Fairfax kids put on their football pads. He’s coached at the youth and high school levels, seeing athletes of all ages grow up playing the sport he loves.

In 2003 the Patriots took the field thanks to tireless efforts on the part of the Fairfax community, especially Karen McNall.

“She’s considered the ‘Mother’ of Fairfax football,” Demar

November 1, 2018 that year. Those young players who started in 2003 went on to win a state championship in 2014.”

The program has been around long enough that McNall sees some things coming full circle.

“Seneca Durocher, who was my ball boy in the high school state championship, is now playing for the 7/8 Patriots, and now he gets to experience a state championship game as a Patriot player.”

Demar, who worked alongside McNall in the early days, is currently the head coach of the 7/8 Patriots team. He has also served as the defensive coordinator for the high school team and the 7/8 team over the years.

Last year, Demar’s first year back at the helm of the Patriots’ 7/8 team, they made it to the finals, losing to Lyndon in the state championship game.

Saturday’s 42 to 21 victory against BARRE has placed the undefeated 7/8 Patriots where they want to be: in the Northern Vermont Youth Football League Division II State Championship game with the Lyndon for the second year in a row.

Demar played football in St. Albans for John Beerworth, Tom McDonald, David Peterson, and Jim Kelley. He went on to serve in the military and currently works as a police officer. He regularly draws on the skills and strength that he gained in those fields to bring the best out of his players.

“I’m not here to build great football players; I’m here to build good citizens. Part of that is teaching young men to be disciplined, structured, and lawabiding. From this, they learn the value of contributing to their community,” said Demar.

There are certain things that Demar asks of his players: no one talks while the coach is talking, timeliness is of the essence, and respect for authority and for each other is paramount.

Failure to abide by the team standards can result in suspension from the team.

“They know that if they do stupid stuff, there will be consequences,” said Demar, “I make it clear that they represent me and this program on and off the field. Some groups catch on quickly; other groups have to run a lot.”

When asked about his experience, Ryan Wimble, who played for Demar at both the youth and high school levels, noted that he was in a run-a-lot group his first couple of years with the youth program.

Consistency is another foundational piece of Demar’s coaching strategy.

“Nothing ever changes. Our success has come from the consistency of the program. We have the same strategy at every level,” said Demar.

The term ‘leverage’ is also used often, and the boys learn the value of that throughout the season.

Leverage applies to mental strength as much as it does to physical strength.

Major Munson, the defensive coordinator for the Patriots, has been with the 7/8 team for three years.

“I love working with the youth program. These kids are disciplined enough to listen to what we have to say, and it’s amazing to watch them develop from boys to young men.”

Physical training is part of the 7/8 team’s regular regimen, and the regular conditioning has paid big dividends the past two years.

“Last year we won all of our games in the second half because we were more physically fit than our opponents. These guys learned that the more prepared you are the better you will perform,” said Demar.

The team practices six days a week, with different days dedicated to different elements of the game; each week the team takes time to ‘put it all together’ during one practice. Each player understands they have plenty of work cut out for them each season.

“The players know they have to earn their positions and playing time,” said Demar, “In order to get any place in life you have to work hard. Kids who are playing on this team can honestly say they earned it and they deserve it.”

Life skills learned in football also have the power to translate into success later in life.

“Football players learn to work as a team--they learn respect for others and timeliness. They understand that they are working for the better of all, not just individual success,” said Demar.

“I am awkwardly early for all of my events because of football,” said Ryan, to the laughter of the group, “the mindset of football has shaped the way I prepare for everything.”

Respect for those who guard America’s freedom is another quality Demar and Munson seek to build in the young men they coach.

Every practice and every game, win or lose, the team does 22 pushups.

“The 22 represents the number of soldiers who return from active duty and take their own lives on a daily basis,” said Munson, “We want them to know we get to enjoy this awesome sport because there are others who are risking their lives so we can enjoy ours.”

Youth programs allow players to learn the foundational techniques and strategies they will need for their high school years; they also provide ample time for instruction on safety.

The Patriot program invested $10,000 in new equipment this year alone, doing their best to keep the kids safe. Demar thanked the board for the time they put in to raise the money needed to outfit a successful, safe program.

Equipment is a big part of keeping players healthy, but Demar explained it’s one piece of a larger puzzle.

“We spend hours on tackling.

We start tackling bags and learn the techniques. After that, we practice on each other and in the cage where we can manage the energy,” said Demar, “We make sure everyone has the proper technique they need to play safely.”

Demar and his coaches know their work at the youth level is important to the success of the high school varsity program.

BULLETS HEAD TO SEMI-FINALS

The Bullets (3) secured a trip to the Division III semifinal game in Poultney (2) on Saturday.

The Bullets defeated visiting Springfield (6) 30 to 14 last Saturday.

The Bullets scoring was led

by Noah Brock who put three touchdowns on the board. Brock also ran for more than 240 yards, most of which were earned in the second half. Jaxon Schaarschmidt

scored the first touchdown for the Bullets on a 14-yard drive.

The Bullets, who were down 14-8 at the half, came out with gusto to win the game, more than doubling their score in second half.

The Bullets’ offensive line, Patrick Rolling, Gage Brown, Kenny Salls, Lucas Jones, Jared Salls, and Camden Anderson, contributed to the victory, working to open holes for the running

backs. Their efforts were amply rewarded with successful scoring opporunities, and a trip to compete in the first semifinal game for the program since BFA Fairfax won the title in 2014.

November 1, 2018 Last week, an editorial mistake cut off a portion of two responses to our question about the state’s action to the opioid epidemic. Here are the two responses in their entirety.

QUESTION: In January of 2014, then Governor Peter Shumlin devoted his entire state of the State address to the problem of opioid addiction in the state. Now, almost five years later, many of our community members are still battling the opioid epidemic. What can you do, if elected, to help to solve this problem for Vermonters once and for all?

Franklin-3-1 Mike McCarthy (D) (mike@ilikemikevt.com) I started serving on the Downtown Board a decade ago, just as our revitalization efforts really began to take off. In that time I’ve seen St. Albans come together, making public investments that encourage businesses to invest and families to live here in our community. I was serving as State Representative when Gov. Shumlin gave his historic State of the State about opiates. St. Albans was already out ahead of many other communities in recognizing the challenges that come from substance use disorders – the crime

in favor of a promised idea? I’m not one of those to make empty promises. All I can promise is that everything on my platform will be my focus. This or something better is how I like to live my life. (www.

RonHorton.info) Vermonters are still over worked, yet underpaid... Over taxed, yet under supported, and definitely over stressed. We need our taxes reduced, our economy grown, our transportation system developed to include Rural Vermont, our schools filled, our businesses supported, our towns rebuilt, and our way of life renewed. Let’s do all we can to move forward.

The biggest thing we all can do is to vote into office new and open minded Vermonters who truly and deeply care about Vermont.

I’m one of those people. I want to make a difference for all of us.

There are two seats open. I’m asking you to just vote for one, for me, Ron Horton.

John Rodgers (D)* (jrodgers@leg.state.vt.us) Party politics is ruining our country and our flawed primary system is partly to blame. We as a state and as a country are more divided than I can remember in my lifetime. Some of our predecessors warned of parties having too much power and it looks to me like that prediction has come true. Elected officials are supposed to work for their constituents not a political party. Once elected legislators need to work together for the benefit of Vermonters. That is what I have always done and will

that results from desperation and the overdoses that have taken the lives of three people close to me.

It’s been over two decades since Purdue Pharma lied to doctors and the FDA about the safety of OxyContin. The legislature should hold these pharmaceutical manufacturers responsible, taxing their profits to pay for the treatment and recovery of Vermonters who first started using because they became addicted to a legal prescription. Our hospitals and other providers are doing a much better job of keeping legal prescriptions of addictive opioids to a minimum, but the legislature should remain vigilant about over-

continue to do for as long as I am in an elected office. The division is also growing between the two Vermont’s, rural vs urban, and doing well vs struggling to get by.

Our rural Vermont heritage and traditions are eroding as they are not important to many newcomers and urban folks. I always have and will continue to fight to protect our culture, heritage, traditions and constitutional rights.

prescription.

We should continue to invest in evidence-based treatment, like the hub and spoke model that reduce the harm caused by opiate use disorders and give people a chance at success in recovery. The legislature can continue to support court diversion and restorative justice practices from our community policing in St. Albans to the drug court model. We need to stop incarcerating people with substance use disorders wherever treatment in community is an option. Prisons are too expensive and make the problem worse – especially out of state for-profit prisons.

We didn’t get into the opiate crisis overnight, but there is hope that we can save the lives of our children by educating people about the dangers of opiates, offering treatment that is proven and effective, and asking those who got us into this mess to pay to get us out.

Franklin-3-2 Eileen “Lynn” Dickinson (R)* ( LY N N D I C K I N S O N 7 0 @ comcast.net) The opiate epidemic started with prescription pain killers; with opiates being over prescribed. The increased awareness of the problem of over prescribing and use of opiates has been important for the medical community, pharmacies and state agencies. The Governor and the legislature have worked on studies and legislation that highlights the dangers of opiate use and abuse. This effort must continue. The opiate epidemic evolved into a heroin epidemic with the heroin combined with fentanyl.

This is now a deadly epidemic of illegal drugs that are often sold at a huge profit by drug dealers, some from out of state, who arrange to bring large amounts of heroin and other illegal drugs into Vermont.

A complication is the exchange of drugs for guns from Vermont.

Buying guns for another person is a “straw man” purchase by buyers

who can pass the background checks. It is against the law. We recently saw arrests for this activity as a result of the Street Crimes Unit investigation of the St. Albans Police Department.

Out hub and spoke system of Medical Assisted Treatment is considered a success for Vermonters trying to treat their addiction. There is some criticism that it simply replaces one drug with another drug; however, it does allow people to get treatment and counseling while working toward sobriety. Many of us have personal experience with family, friends and neighbors who have suffered from this epidemic. It is heartbreaking to see productive young people suffer and die from this addiction.

There is no simple easy solution to this problem. We need to educate, treat and promote awareness of the dangers of this epidemic and continue to support those who suffer from its impact.

time.

legislation that would strengthen families and defend the value of every human life, I am uniquely familiar with the process.

Franklin County Republicans are united in their effort to promote an affordability agenda that will help get our State back on the right fiscal track - to not only keep government budgets in line, but to ultimately win tax cuts for overburdened Vermonters. In the next legislative session, sustaining a Governor’s veto of a tax and spend budget may come down to one or two votes. If Fairfax voters want to

be part of the team that will hold that line, vote Mary Beerworth for Fairfax.

Edward Simon (D) (ED@edsimonvt.com) No response submitted as of press time.

Franklin-2 (Fairfax) Mary Beerworth (R) (BEERWORTH05454@gmail. com) It is time for Fairfax residents and voters to be represented in Montpelier by someone who will listen to their genuine concerns.

I pledge to be transparent and accountable on important roll call votes. I intend to not only listen, but to keep constituents informed and explain the reasoning behind each important vote cast.

personally canvas approximately 1700 Fairfax homes.

In my campaign for reelection I am aware of how much I have learned over the past two sessions.

Those four years allowed me to work for Fairfax across the political spectrum. We deserve to have our voice considered and not have this position be used as a tool for one political Party’s agenda.

Once elected the candidate in this seat represents all members of our community not just those who share the elected candidate’s Party.

If reelected it will be my honor to continue to serve all of Fairfax.

Franklin-3-1 (St. Albans City/Town) James Fitzgerald (R) (JBFITZ2000@yahoo.com)

I believe the County Courier has been professional in presenting the questions for the candidates to answer. Of course in some questions the candidates failed to really answer the questions asked, that is not the fault of the Courier.

Perhaps additional questions could have been asked regarding affordability in Vermont and what the candidates would do about this problem. Domestic and sexual abuse is huge in Vermont and it may have been helpful to present ideas to the voters as to what the answers are to this problem.

However, I appreciate all the thoughtful work of the Courier and I believe their work will provide the voters with information needed to make the right choices on Nov. 6; thank you.

Kate Larose (D) (katelarosehouse@gmail.com) I believe in the power of community and making sure everyone has a place at the table. I am running because I want more of this for St Albans, as a citizen and as a mom raising my family here.

I know firsthand what it’s like to struggle, to worry that college isn’t an option, to rely on food stamps.

And I know firsthand what it’s like to work hard and prevail when opportunities are provided. As your next representative I will draw from my business, human services, and education background, and most importantly lead from a place of listening, learning, and bringing people together.

My professional experience with the complex issues facing businesses today, my service on the Downtown Board and City Council and my previous term in the legislature have uniquely prepared me to tackle the tough debates in the Vermont legislature.

I hope to have the honor of serving the people of St. Albans again so we can build on the already incredible state we have, preserving the things we love and overcoming obstacles like income inequality and climate change collaboratively and fairly.

November 1, 2018 was created.

In order to fully appreciate the guaranteed rights and privileges included in this amazing document, together with our Bill of Rights, a knowledge of the lack of freedoms and living conditions that existed in the European countries where our Founding Fathers came from, is essential and must be understood.

Too many Americans are ignorant of our own history. We take for granted the rights and privileges we enjoy as citizens.

Our founders were not citizens of their birth country, but subjects.

They were subject to the will of their ruler with no recourse. A far cry from the freedom documents created by our Founding Fathers, who envisioned a life consisting of both God given and man inspired rights and privileges made up of a country of citizens, not subjects.

In order for this new type of

nation to function properly, the operation of the government was addressed within the U.S. Constitution, which included the dos, don’ts and how’s of the process. If the states want to change a part of our Constitution, an amendment process is in place to accomplish the will of the people by their consent.

Until recent times, Civics was always taught in schools, but in many schools it no longer is. In order for our students to understand how and why they must be faithful stewards of our Constitution, they must learn its content, duties and obligations of an American citizen, as well as, how government works and why informed citizen voter participation is crucial to our form of Constitutional Republic.

America is not a Democracy. It is governed by citizen representation, not majority rule. Learning Civics is essential to this process.

Brian Savage (R/D)* (brianklynnb@comcast.net) After looking over the answers I have submitted each week, I find that we had no discussion of the transportation infrastructure in the state. As we all drive the roads and cross the bridges, we often have to avoid potholes and probably do not want to even think about what the underside of the bridge we are going over looks like.

The total transportation infrastructure includes railroads, airports, bike and recreational paths, but highways are what the vast majority of Vermonters use every day.

It is no secret that the Transportation Fund has been raided to balance the General Fund for decades. It did not matter who was Governor or what party had control in the legislature, the T-Fund was a pot

of money that was available. We have been paying the price of this “borrowing” in the condition of the infrastructure. In addition transportation is funded by various taxes, the biggest component being the tax on gasoline and diesel.

With our vehicles becoming much more fuel efficient and people driving less miles, less fuel is being purchased and a major source of revenue has shrunk.

There is no quick answer to address this problem and I am not proposing an increase in fuel taxes as Vermonters pay dearly at the pumps simply to go to and from work. But it is a problem that needs to be addressed. There has been progress being made to “catch up” repair work on our highways but there is still very much more that should be done.

As the new legislature goes into session in January I am sure there will be further discussion of this

very important issue.

I will work with both parties to create a Vermont economy that can support our young people.

Between 2010 and 2015 the area between Burlington and the Candian border was the only region to see positive economic and population growth. Look at how much St.Albans and Swanton have changed because they were used to commute into Burlington.

Once they become bigger and more developed it will feed our rural communities. We need to take advantage of this growth to turn our rural communties into the new commuter towns. Once St.Albans becomes to expensive rural areas will become viable for young families and commuters.

Linda Collins (I) (lindajcollins123@gmail.com) During this campaign I have met many people who have legitimate concerns about the future of our state. One of those concerns is that politicians need to get along and cross party lines for the good of their constituents. I feel fortunate that I am supported by people of both parties. A farmer who needs assistance, a parent who wants their child to have a good education and health care, or someone looking for a decent job isn’t defined by what political party they belong to. If I am lucky enough to be elected to the House I will work with other representatives to put the needs of all Vermonters first.

For the past few months, I have read the candidates’ comments on the issues facing us. Everyone seems to agree, we need fewer taxes, clean air and water, quality education, better milk prices, etc. Now it’s up to the voters to decide which two, of the five candidates, for Franklin -5 can make a difference in Montpelier.

That person needs to be able to interpret opinions, compromise and be able to speak up for their district in an intelligent and thoughtful manner and to have an open door to listen to the voters. I have had experience in education as a teacher, in health care as a NOTCH Board director, in municipal government as a select board chairman and, as a newspaper reporter, I have

explored many topics from politics and business to crime and human interest. I have been able to relate to people from all walks of life and listen to their stories. I have always liked solving problems and making a difference so I would appreciate the opportunity to serve all of the people of Franklin-5.

No matter the outcome, I have enjoyed talking with the people of Franklin-5 and would appreciate your support.

Franklin-6 (Fairfield/Fletcher/Bakersfield) Kelly Cummings (D) (INFO@kellyforvthouse.com) I would like to address the importance of realizing that the solutions to the problems we face will never be found through our dividedness, only in our connection to one another.

I’ve focused my campaign on building a strong, practical and functioning foundation that I believe will help provide stability and opportunity for ALL our townspeople. I believe affordable and accessible healthcare is a necessity for all and that our pre existing condition protections must remain strong. I believe in a livable wage, paid family leave, high quality affordable childcare, local control of our schools and creating jobs that help both the business owner and employee succeed. I will work hard to build the foundation I speak of because I believe we all need a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

With a firm foundation under our feet we can all move forward with

I cowrote the bill that became Act 68 in 2012, which protects our children from hazardous chemical exposure in schools. I learned that in writing legislation, it is crucial to avoid unintended consequences, both in operational function and the language used. Policy must be based in practical reality and must consider how it will impact the people and places where the rubber meets the road, from cost and application to outcome.

My broad goals are: to bring good jobs to the area, to make life more affordable and safer; to advocate for our local schools and youth programs; to increase access to health care, mental health support, and education/training; to protect our waters while including all stakeholders who are affected; to help farms and small businesses; to protect our freedoms and right to privacy as well as our outdoor and hunting heritage.

(felisha@felishaleffler.com) Over the last three months, the County Courier has been gracious enough to afford candidates space to let voters know how they stand on the issues and what their principles are.

As many of you know, I entered this race earlier this spring because I was passionate about seeing my home state be an affordable place for all Vermonters. I wanted to see fiscal responsibility and accountability and a government that represented the “waste not, want not” Vermont way of living.

I wanted a voice for respect, moderation, bipartisanship, and honesty in Montpelier. I am running for office because I strongly believe that Enosburgh and Montgomery deserve a representative that will genuinely listen to them and stand for the issues and concerns of their constituents.

I became interested in policy and government at a young age and through my education in the Enosburg public school system that interest grew leading me to pursue a college degree in government.

After graduating with my Bachelor’s degree in Government, I worked on several campaigns to help other leaders get elected. I have had the opportunity to write and review policy proposals both for the immediate purpose they would serve, as well as analyzing for the long-term effects and often unintended consequences.

Your choice this upcoming Tuesday is to choose a candidate that is devoted to honest and reflective representation with a passion to serve, the experience to create, review, and vote for good legislation that will help us all as move forward towards an affordable Vermont, and the dedication to principles fundamental to our

James Gregoire (R) (GREGOIRE11@surfglobal.net) I have run a positive, issue-based campaign focused on bringing people together for the benefit of our community. I recognize that regardless of demographics, there are core issues that affect us all.

Dividing our community serves no positive purpose. Working together is the only way forward. As a noncommissioned officer in the Army and in numerous non-profit, state and local positions I have proven my ability to work with others in a respectful and productive manner to get the job done.

Overwhelmingly the top issue I have heard about is affordability.

Most agree that the cost of living is too high due to taxes, fees, housing costs, and other expenses. We must control taxes by realigning our government so that it runs efficiently and effectively. Long ago families learned that money goes further when we spend it wisely. We should expect no less of our elected officials. High fees and excessive mandates raise the cost of living for all Vermonters.

We should exhaust every option before we consider adding to the already heavy cost of living of our families, friends, and neighbors.

Mandating arbitrary minimum wage increases has been proven not to increase purchasing power in multiple studies. Studies also show a decrease in employment levels as the least skilled and most vulnerable are priced out of the job market. Workers and small businesses cannot afford poorly thought out mandates. As someone who has experience in running small businesses, I understand these issues very well. Every one of my employees makes more money from my business than I do. This is not a unique scenario among small businesses.

We all want a better life for

ourselves and those around us.

We will not achieve that by raising taxes and fees on working Vermonters or by increasing the cost of operating a business. We will achieve this through better educational opportunities, job training programs, decreasing the cost of living and by attracting businesses that can sustain higher wages and better benefits.

Instead of community rating which drove all but two insurers out of the state leaving us with higher premiums, higher deductibles, and lower coverages, we should consider a high-risk pool for those with pre-existing conditions (as is done in many states) or we can sit down together and figure out another way that doesn’t bankrupt working Vermonters. A bipartisan effort is the only way forward on this important issue.

I have received widespread bipartisan support because I listen respectfully and with an open mind. I will work with others regardless of party affiliation for the good of our people. I have been endorsed by four of the last five State Representatives for Fairfield; three democrats and one republican. Two have also been Fletcher’s State Representatives.

Hundreds of supporters of all political leanings allowed me to use their names publicly. My task is to build bridges. We get things done by working together not by working against each other.

Bakersfield, Fairfield and Fletcher are diverse communities and deserve a representative who will listen to all voices. I will work tirelessly for our communities in a rational, respectful and responsive manner.

I am thankful for all the support I have received throughout this campaign. To have people from all backgrounds tell me that they know I’m a person that will listen with an open mind to do what is right is overwhelming on a very personal level. As a store owner I love to put smiles on my customers faces. As a state representative it’ll be a tougher task but I will work hard to earn your respect, trust and support by doing everything in my power to stand up for our district’s needs in Montpelier.

I ask for your vote on or before November 6th.

the goal of thriving instead of just surviving.

It is also important we work together to support our seniors on Social Security and Medicare, our farmers, our environment as well as enhancing our infrastructure by improving cell service, Internet service and repairing our roads.

Rural Vermont is unique in that we face particular challenges that our cities do not. We must pay close attention to the needs of our district and seek out opportunities to help improve our rural communities.

The words I’ve used throughout this campaign, we, our, all and together reflect my belief that it is in true community that we will begin to confront our challenges.

We must make it a point to come to the table and talk with one another. We might have different ideas about things but if we can at least start with the fact we all hold value….I know we’ve got somewhere to go. I’ll save you a seat.

I was lucky to grow up in Vermont and be able to call it home, regardless of where my education or travels took me. I want more young Vermonters to be able to keep calling it home. It has been my absolute privilege over the last several months to get to meet, listen, and learn from so many of you.

Cindy Weed (P/D)* (cindyweed@hotmail.com) While serving as your elected state representative, my main focus has always been to improve the lives of all Vermonters and I have always voted in support of legislation on behalf of working families, seniors, veterans and children.

For example, I voted to remove chemicals from children’s products, raise the minimum wage, invest in economic development, and best of all, save Vermonters $34 million by lowering all of the state income tax brackets, raising the Earned Income Tax credit, and removing social security tax for middle income Vermonters.

I am proud of my100% voting record for both working Vermonters and the environment and am endorsed by Vermont Senator Bernie Sanders, Rights and Democracy, AFL-CIO, Vermont State Employees Association, NEA (Teachers Union), Sierra

Club and Vermont Conservation Voters.

When I return to the statehouse in January, I will continue to fight for a strong economy, liveable wages, a clean and sustainable environment, and affordable Health Care. I agree with the Public Assets Institute that is past time to fund education via an income tax where all Vermonters pay their fair share, not just property owners. So, if voters want a strong local voice in state government, someone who will say “no” to the influence of out-of-state and corporate money in Franklin County and Vermont politics, then they should re-elect

me. I do not take ANY corporate donations or money from special interest individuals, so voters can be assured that I will put the interests of Enosburg and Montgomery residents first. If you want a representative who will work to eliminate income inequality, continue to grow the economy, fight for their civil and social rights, and help put an end to all types discrimination,then I ask for your support on November 6th.

November 1, 2018 dearly. She was kind, warm, and even-tempered and people were drawn to her. She appreciated the sweet fragrant smell of lilacs blooming in June, relished the suspense of a good Mary Higgins Clark novel, savored the time spent painting the town with her close friends, affectionately known as the “twisted sisters”, and welcomed a competitive Phase 10 card game with her grandchildren.

She had an exceptional green thumb, and kept her daughter’s English ivy wedding bouquet plant thriving for 29 years despite her daughter’s repeated attempts to kill it. She lovingly tended to her mother’s precious orange begonia plant which continues to flower to this day. Jan especially loved her six grandchildren. They were the light of her life and she took great pride in their accomplishments.

Jan is survived by her husband, Roger; daughter, Lynne Fremeau and her husband Mark, of Northbridge, MA, and their children Rachel, Seth, and Ryan Fremeau; son, Mark Valley, of Norwood, MA, and his children Ellen, Hannah, and Grace Valley.

She’s also survived by her sister, Brenda Thibault and her husband, David, of Tucson, AZ; brother-inlaw, David Valley and his wife, Marion of Milton, VT; brother-inlaw, Don Vallee and his wife, Kathy of Tucson, AZ; and brother-in-law John D. Farr, Jr. of Waterbury, VT. She was preceded in death by her sister-in-law, Julie (Vallee) Farr.

She leaves many nieces, nephews, cousins, aunts, uncles, and friends.

A Mass of Christian Burial will take place on Friday, November 2, 2018 at 11 a.m. at St. Ann’s Catholic Church, 41 Main Street, Milton, VT followed by burial at St. Ann Cemetery, 20 Middle Road, Milton, VT. We wish to thank the wonderful staff of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, The University of Vermont Medical Center in Burlington, and especially Jan’s Palliative Care Team for their loving care during the final days of her life.

LETTERS from page 9

LEFFLER WILL SAVE US FROM THE CARBON TAX

I’ve been fairly quiet on the political front with the exception of my close friends, but today, I feel I have to speak up.

This upcoming session, the EIGHTH version of a Carbon Tax will be on the table. I feel like there are many Vermonters who don’t quite know what that means and how it is going to affect us everyday. The Carbon Tax plan, also called the ESSEX plan, is a proposal to phase in a tax on gas and heating oil over the next eight years to the tune of $240 million a year. This tax would be levied on our gas we rely on to get to and from work and the fuel we use to heat our homes.

The goal of this Carbon Tax is to push our state away from carbon based fuels and towards electricity based systems. The money raised by this new tax is proposed to be returned to us by subsidising our tripling or quadrupling electric bills. Taxing our gasoline, diesel, heating oil, propane, and other fuel sources to try and incentivize Vermonters to switch to electricity based heating systems and transportation is not only a bad idea, it just won’t work.

When you make something more expensive, people conserve; they don’t buy a new car and change their heating system. This plan could also hurt the existing state revenues from oil and gas taxes.

I deal with people on a daily basis that already struggle to heat their homes. If we add a regressive carbon tax, which would attack the poorest in our communities the most, we will only see more and more people who can’t afford to stay in Vermont. That’s something that we, as a state, can’t afford.

This plan is dangerous to Vermont and I urge you to consider that as you go to the polls this Tuesday.

We need a representative who can stand up for Vermonters; a person who will strive to make our state less expensive to live in. A representative who will come back from Montpelier to meet with all of their constituents and be honest with them.

We haven’t had that type of representation recently, and that’s why I am supporting Felisha Leffler for Vermont House of Representatives. Be sure to get out and vote Nov. 6th for the candidates we can afford.

Kevin Archambault Enosburgh

IT’S TIME TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT

Let’s settle for once and all the non-issue of part time/full time Probate Judge. The position of Franklin County Probate Judge is part time; period. The Vermont Supreme Court says so, the Vermont Legislature says so, and the Vermont Court Administrator says so. Based on the State’s caseload study, Chittenden County is the only county in the state that requires a full time judge. If Candidate Farrar would presume to make a part time position a “full time” job, then that would be his choice. Vaughn Comeau’s position as Franklin County Probate Judge will be his priority; but, like the majority of the other 12 part time Probate Judges, will continue his law practice part time so as to serve the citizens of Franklin County.

I’ve been a legal assistant in Franklin County for 37 years and know both Probate Judge candidates.

The citizens of Franklin County need to choose their next Probate Judge not on how many hours spent in the judge’s office, but on the basis of his judicial demeanor, aptitude and significant, recent and relevant experience.

Vaughn Comeau graduated with honors from one of the most prestigious law schools in the East. Vaughn was chosen to serve as a law clerk for a United States District Court Judge in one of the busiest courts in the East. Vaughn has maintained an active probate law practice while generously making himself available to Probate Judges to serve pro bono (without charge) for litigants unable to afford counsel.

So, voters, please look at the candidates’ qualifications, experience and knowledge of the law. You will find that Vaughn Comeau will serve the citizens of Franklin County ably and well as their Probate Judge. Please join me in voting for Vaughn Comeau for Probate Judge on November 6th.

there in Montpelier. We need to elect Joshua and Shane, these two candidates will bring the common sense that’s much needed within our government. After reviewing all 5 candidates, running for the two seats it’s very clear that both Joshua Aldrich and Shane Rhodes are our best choices. Please support both Joshua and Shane Nov 6th for state Rep Stephany Wentworth Berkshire

MY SUPPORT GOES TO MARIANNA GAMACHE

As we get closer to November 6th I want to publically affirm my support for Marianna Gamache for a third term as Sheldon/Swanton representative.

Marianna has shown that she is unwavering in what she believes in and what position she takes on difficult issues.

I have known Marianna for more than twenty years and I have watched how hard she has worked as our representative in Montpelier.

She has the experience and the determination to give us another two years fighting for what we need to make Vermont more affordable and livable.

Marianna understands that we can’t keep growing the state’s budget. By doing so we are driving our youth and our retirees away. With our aging population and our declining number of children, we are heading on an unsustainable fiscal path. Hard budgetary decisions are not popular but they are what we need to get control of government spending. I know I can trust Marianna to support tough fiscal restraint.

Marianna also gets my support for her record on gun control, recreational marijuana and school choice. She will hold the line on excessive governmental control and only support those issues that truly improve our communities.

VOTE FOR MY FRIEND

I have been a friend of Cindy Weed and her family since the late 1970s. Through the years, I’ve seen her evolve from a caring young mother to a caring and deeply involved member of our community. For several years, she served on the Enosburg school board and managed a regional crafts organization. Her service as representative of our district has brought her even deeper into community because she’s gotten to know many people Drive Safely!

and what they think of current issues. Whether or not you agree with every vote she has given in the VT State House, she has years of experience behind her judgement and she listens to you.

I am impressed with Cindy’s commitment and stamina. I urge you to vote for her in this coming election.

LANGEVIN PROMISES US COVERAGE

I am writing to voice my strong support for Roger Langevin , who is running for Sheriff in Franklin County.

I am supporting Roger because he has pledged to provide law enforcement coverage to all towns in Franklin County, including my own community, the town of Berkshire , Vermont.

I also support Roger because he listens to people in our communities who have concerns about the way law enforcement is implemented . Being a good listener is part of the Sheriff’s job. To back up this commitment he has promised to add street cops to his force who will be visible in the community, and who will be available to all citizens who have law enforcement concerns.

Roger has an outstanding resume, a proven track record, an unwavering commitment to the place where he grew up, namely Franklin County, and a deep and sincere interest in children and youth as evidenced by the duties he has taken on as a Resource Officer in the St. Albans school system.

People with Roger’s talent and credentials do not come along very often.

Franklin County voters have a chance to elect a true star who has documented achievements and an unmatched dedication to service to his community.

Vote for Roger Langevin next Tuesday! Your community will be a better place to live with Roger at the helm.

He is committed to people, not a time clock. I also appreciate the fact that when Vaughn is not at the courthouse, he will be able to continue to offer nonprobate legal services to the community. Vaughn knows how to manage systems and people.

He is supported by a fine staff in Enosburg Falls, as he will be by the staff at the court. I hope you will join me in voting for Vaughn on November 6.

DISHONESTY, AND A LACK OF RESPECT FOR THE CONSTITUTION

Cindy Weed voted in favor of senseless gun control laws this year, but has since tried to peddle herself as a proponent of the second amendment, which is obviously false.

If you compare her last campaign finance report, filed at the beginning of October, with the campaign finance report filed by GunSense Vermont’s Victory Fund (a Political Action Committee geared towards banning guns in Vermont), you’ll see that GunSense Vermont in donated $355 to her campaign in September. That money was never reported by Cindy Weed.

I can only imagine that she would not want to report that money, as is required by law, because she knows that she didn’t follow the will of the majority of her constituents.

In addition, Weed has accepted donations from the “Vermont Political Revolution Fund,” a PAC geared towards advancing Bernie Sanders’ goals of socializing Vermont.

If she has chosen not to disclose these donations, how many other donations has she chosen to hide?

Cindy has shown time and time again her lack of respect for the constitution, as well as a lackluster will to obey campaign finance laws. She obviously can’t be trusted to represent this community, and for that reason, I encourage you to vote for Felisha Leffler. It’s time to weed out Montpelier.

HOWRIGAN from page 11

with Senator George D. Akin.

“I sat right there on the floor with him and he asked me how things were in Fairfield and what the price of milk was,” said Howrigan with a chuckle, “It was like we were chatting at a local store.”

Howrigan also had the chance to meet the famous American anthropologist, Margaret Mead

and Tom who would later work for Newsday. He also met Robert Shriver, father to Maria Shriver, a well-known diplomat, politician, and activist.

In 1957, Howrigan had helped establish the Fairfield Volunteer Fire Department. While at Georgetown, Shriver later gave Howrigan a fire truck for the budding department.

In the summer of 1962, Howrigan received word that he would be traveling to Ethiopia with the Peace Corps. He recalled

his first moments in Anna Abba, Ethiopia.

“We landed in heavy rain, and a man came up to me and said, ‘my name is Maurice Riche and Mrs. John Montagne is my aunt.

Marcel Montagne is my first cousin and he’s your uncle,” said Howrigan.

Howrigan spent his time in Ethiopia teaching, and he recalled the area he lived in with fondness.

“It was ‘coffee country.’ The coffee plants grew wild. You could go out in your backyard,

TURNER Jr. Lt. GOVERNOR On Call for Vermont I’m running for Lt. Governor because I’m concerned about rising taxes, failing wages, and an increasing amount of regulation that’s stifling businesses and families. I’ve spent 13 years in the Legislature and 35 years as a first responder. I’m ready to serve as the state’s second-in-command.

A leader who respects differences.

November 1, 2018 take some coffee beans, put them in a frying pan and roast them,” said Howrigan.

In 1965, Howrigan returned to the United States where he earned his living doing appraisal work. He also taught at St. Anne’s in Swanton. Eventually, Howrigan began working for the Massachusetts Housing Department.

Time passed quickly for Howrigan, and it wasn’t until he was 39 years old that he married his wife Kathleen. Kathleen had been equally busy with her education and career, and their marriage was the first for both of them.

“She was teaching nursing at the University of New Hampshire. I remember telling her that she had more degrees than a thermometer! She always wondered where I came up with the things I did,” said Howrigan, laughing aloud.

The Howrigan’s had one son, Jim Howrigan who is married and has three children.

Despite the later start, the couple enjoyed 43 years together before Katherine passed in 2013, shortly after Richard retired from the legislature.

Currently, Howrigan is working to make sure that all the young men in Vermont register for the selective service. He is also devoting much time to the restoration of cemeteries in the town of Fairfield.

“We have to save these places,” said Howrigan, noting that money has already been allotted to help with the projects.

With the rise in interest in

ONE OF US,

family genealogies, out-of-state tourists can now use the internet to search for missing links in their family trees. Keeping local cemeteries in good repair not only preserves community heritage, but it also opens avenues for tourist business.

A monument is also in the works to honor those who served in America’s wars. This will be placed in Fairfield in the park near the meeting house.

Reflecting on years past and projects present; Howrigan’s life has the power to remind folks of the impact one person can make on a community.

With Election Day right around the corner, Howrigan had a few words of wisdom for local candidates looking to leave their mark on the political landscape.

“Get out and wave the flag first thing in the morning on a major highway,” Howrigan said with warm laughter, “You want to be out there in the afternoon and in the morning. At intersection 19 you can allow 14 cars to come through before the light changes.

Get out there. You’ve got to get out there.”

When it comes to local politics, being present in the community cannot be underestimated.

“You can only go to so many chicken pie dinners without having a shorter belt, but you have to get out.,” said Howrigan, laughing, “You like that one? I just thought of that now.”
