By Alice Dubenetsky BRISTOL Ñ A Starksboro resident has filed a lawsuit against the Addison Northeast Supervisory Union and Mount Abraham Union High School Board to force them to end the practice of invoking Executive Session when negotiating teacherÕ s contracts. John Jefferies contends that the practice is in violation of open meeting laws, and believes the public has a vested interest and a legal right to attend the sessions.

Jefferies first became concerned about public exclusion in 2011, during contentious negotiations between the teacher’s union and the school board regarding salary and other contract specifics. There was a great deal of public interest and sentiment surrounding the negotiations and more than 30 concerned people attended an ANESU board meeting, where they fully expected to hear from mediators on both sides of the negotiations. However, at the last minute they were told that the board had decided to enter into Executive Session, and exclude the public, even though the board was informed that closing the meeting to the public would be in violation of Vermont’s Open Meeting Law. Jefferies later attempted to persuade the ANESU board to publically admit that their use of executive session was incorrect, but the board CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Vt. health officials issue pesticide alert Rutland Co. company blamed for incident Andy Flynn

andy@denpubs.com MONTPELIER — Vermont Department of Health officials July 9 issued a health advisory for residents in the town of Rutland after an exterminator allegedly used a banned pesticide.

State Toxicologist Sarah Vose sent the advisory to health providers in Rutland County. The Agency of Agriculture and the Health Department are working together to look into misuse of chlorpyrifos by AAA Accredited Pest Control in Rutland County. The Associated Press reports that the state suspended the license of Cary Buck of AAA Accredited Pest Control in North Clarendon.

In 2000, the Environmental Protection Agency banned the use of chlorpyrifos for household use; however, it is still widely used on golf courses, treated wood and in agriculture.

Myers was a dedicated member of the Middlebury Fire Department until his tragic death in a car accident July 20, 2011. He left behind a wife, two sons and many more friends and family along with a legacy of community service.

The second annual Adam Myers Memorial Fundraiser for the Middlebury Fire Department will be a weekend-long event made possible by the generous contributions of organizations such as the Blueberry Hill Inn, Vermont Shade and Blind, R.k. Miles, Two Brothers Tavern, Goodro Lumber, artists Nancie Dunn and Mike Mayone, Marble Works Partnership, Otter Creek Brewing, Woodchuck Cider, American Flatbread, Noonie Deli, Vermont Federal Credit Union, Otter Creek Yoga, Aubuchon Hardware, Champlain Valley Plumbing and Heating and others who have donated cash or items to be raffled off in Adam’s

memory to benefit the Middlebury Fire Department.

Friends and family will be traveling from across the country to honor Myer’s memory and to support the MFD. According to Ryan Emilio of the MFD, “Adam was in integral part of our technical rescue team and a huge champion of everything we do here at the Department. His hard work, dedication and enthusiasm can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.”

Holmes Jacobs, a friend and former employer of Adam at Two Brothers Tavern said, “Adam was a wonderful individual. He was a devoted and loving husband, father and friend. His civic service to the community will be missed on so many levels, and we are proud to honor his memory and dedication to the community by raising money for something he cared so deeply for.”

On Saturday, July 20, from 10 a.m. to noon, there will be a Myers Middlebury Mini Muster in which children of all ages are encouraged to join CONTINUED ON PAGE 7

New ideas at Huestis Farm Supply

By Alice Dubenetsky

BRIDPORT — After 30 years, Richard Huestis, the owner and manager of Heustis Farm Supply still enjoys running the business founded by his parents, Daniel and Eleanor Huestis. The business began in 1970, selling and servicing Winpower PTO alternators and UBO cow and parlor mats, and has since grown into a full service True Value hardware store, but still maintains an emphasis on selling and servicing agricultural equipment for area farmers.

Richard Huestis was living in Tokyo, Japan in 1981 when his father asked him to return to Vermont and help run the business.

Richard had been working in a joint food venture business that dealt in food ingredients and spices, but when his father said he really needed help with paperwork, he and his wife Shizu decided to try it out for two years and then make a final decision.

At the time, they had one 2 1/2 year old daughter, with a second child on the way, so they headed back to the States to see what

would develop.

Huestis says that 30 years later he is still enjoying running the company as the business continues to grow and change. Recently, when a longtime loyal employee retired, Huestis replaced him with a young man named Nick Madison, the son of a local farmer and graduate of Hannaford Career Center. Madison tends to sales and advertising, and has brought new ideas and new energy to the business. He is currently in the process of buying into the business and eventually becoming a partner.

“I’m happy I finally found a young fellow who’s interested,” said Huestis, noting that he has three daughters with husbands and careers of their own, who are not interested in running the family business.

It was Madison’s idea to hold a demonstration day to showcase the AerWay Aerator, a machine that opens up the ground and allows nutrients, air and water to penetrate the soil. Huestis said they hadn’t had an open house in decades, and he was thrilled when 150 people turned out to check out the store and the equipment. “We went through 8 dozen burgers, as many hot dogs, salads and lots of sodas,” he said with a chuckle.

Huestis still retains his ties with Japan through the JapanAmerican Society of Vermont that he and a couple of fellow UVM grads founded 30 years ago. His first encounter with Japan was at Okinawa, via Peshawar, Pakistan while he was in the U.S. Air Force. His affinity for the culture led him back to Taiwan after graduating from UVM, where he met his wife Shizu, who was in was also studying the Japanese language. But he seems to

“It’s all about trying to make a living and not going to bed hungry,” he said. “We try to help farmers and farmers try to help us — it’s a partnership.”

First solar access available to Rutland’s GMP customers

By Alice Dubenetsky

RUTLAND — There’s good news for Rutland residents who want to stabilize their energy bills, but don’t have the space, extra money

or southern exposure needed for a solar array.

Green Mountain Power and NRG Solar have unveiled a unique pilot program that will allow homeowners and renters to enroll in a new central solar lease program.

Welch takes stance on drones

BURLINGTON — On the morning of July 12, on the steps of the Chittenden County Courthouse, Rep. Peter Welch unveiled legislation that would require the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to inform Americans and protect their privacy as the agency issues operating licenses for unmanned aerial vehicles flying over the United States. The FAA estimates that 30,000 drones will be operating in the U.S. over the next 20 years.

Welch was expected to introduce the legislation in the House of Representatives when he returned to Washington. The bill would: •Prohibit the FAA from issuing drone licenses unless the application includes a data collection statement that explains who will operate the drone, where the drone will be flown, what kind of data will be collected, how that data will be used, whether the information will be sold to third parties, and the period for which the information will be retained.

•Require law enforcement agencies and their contractors and subcontractors to include an additional data minimization statement that explains how they will minimize the collection and retention of data unrelated to the investigation of a crime.

•Require a warrant for the use of drones by law enforcement agencies except in special circumstances such as search and rescue operations and the imminent danger of death or serious injury.

•Require the FAA to create a website listing all approved licenses, data collection and data minimization statements, any data security breaches suffered by a licensee, and the times and locations of flights.

The program is the centerpiece of a groundbreaking agreement between GMP and NRG Residential Solar, a part of NRG energy and the largest solar developer in the U.S. It is a key part of GMP’s initiative to provide the city with the highest reliance on solar energy of any city in New England, thus making it the region’s Solar Capital.

“Local customers interested in stabilizing their electric bills can take the first step toward relying on the sun to provide their household electricity needs,” said Denise Wilson, NRG’s Executive Vice President of New Business.

“Making solar work at a local level is an important part of NRG’s strategy,” Wilson said.

“With this project, customer who enroll will have a direct role in the development of solar in Rutland.”

The agreement is among the first of its kind between a utility and a solar developer. Customers who in enroll in the leasing program can do so with no up-front cost and become part of

a solar community. Pending approval of the Vermont Public Service Board, NRG plans to build one solar farm this year and the second in 2014. Costs for the average customer are expected to be comparable to or lower than their normal electric bill.

“The NRG pilot marks the first time a utility and a private developer have worked together in a way to helps solar energy flourish, “said Green Mountain Power President and CEO Mary Powell. “We will be studying the pilot closely to see what we can learn from NRG and our customers, including why customers specifically enroll and how we can continue to expand solar development in Rutland and ultimately statewide.”

NRG’s Solar’s parent company, NRG Energy, is one of America’s largest Fortune 500 companies. They are involved in commercial and utility projects nationwide, and their corporate mission is “to design, build and manage viable solar solutions for all.”

Guest Editorial

T

Most likely to secede

his spring, the Vermont Independence Press of Waitsfield came out with a collection of essays published since 2005 in its quarterly magazine Vermont Commons.

It’s entitled “Most Likely to Secede,” but very little of it gets into the arguments for getting Vermont out of the decadent United States.

The argument for Vermont Independence is the need for Vermont to return to its status, until 1791, of an independent republic.

The Second Vermont Republic partisans’ main rationale for their proposal was originally to get suffering Vermonters out from under the corporate-dominated, globalized, rich-serving, pro-nuclear, war-making, immoral and generally hateful Bush-Cheney Empire.

Not so much is heard of that any more, since America is now led by corporate-dominated, globalized, rich-serving, pro-nuclear, war-making, debt-increasing administration of Barack Obama, “who has proved to be a good friend of the corporate and Wall Street interests that underwrite his campaigns,” according to Ron Miller. In fact, only three of the 35 authors included in the book advocate Vermont secession.

Of more interest and value is the book’s subtitle: “What the independence movement can teach us about reclaiming community and creating a human scale vision for the 21st century.”

The 35 authors do not necessarily agree with all ideas offered by the others (notably so in my case; I wrote the historical essay on “Left and Right Decentralism”). But the authors share a broad consensus about what a future decentralist Vermont could come to look like.

It would cease to be “a nation of overfed clowns who believed that it was possible to get something for nothing, who ravaged the landscape in an orgy of wanton carelessness, who believed we were entitled to lives of everlasting comfort and convenience and expected the rest of the world to pay for it.” (James Howard Kunstler).

It would, like the people of Amish country, be more dependent on its own people for the provision of food, clothing and shelter, making use of “intermediate technology” understandable and repairable by local people. The most extreme version of this is Kirkpatrick Sale’s: “using raw local (instead of imported) materials, nurturing local ingenuity without patent and copyright restrictions, and agreeing to abandon as unnecessary and undesirable almost everything manufactured at the factory level anywhere and anyhow.”

It would produce its own sustenance, using ecological design, organic crops, permaculture, soil nourishment, and community supported agriculture. Energy consumption would be considerably reduced, through efficiency in design, lifestyle changes, home-based work, draft animals, conservation, and replacement of grid electricity with locally generated hydro, wind, solar and biomass.

It would educate its young people in a wide variety of settings, on a human scale, “rejecting the yoke of standardization and enforced conformity” (Ron Miller). (The obvious way to do that is to install parental choice, but that’s too much for Miller to bite off.)

Its health care would be decentralized and community based, where patients consider the effects on the community of demanding expensive high tech “solutions” (Thomas Naylor). A community culture supporting wise nutrition and healthful lifestyles would improve public health. Interestingly, Naylor believes the Vermont single payer health care plan “will never see the light of day. Neither the governor nor the members of the legislature have a clue as to how much it will cost or how it will be financed.

It’s pure pie in the sky.”

Finally, the new resilient, sustainable, lowimpact Vermont would have a culture of democratic concern for “the commons” (water, air, the town square). Its citizens would be tied together not only by face to face interactions and common civic endeavors, but also through electronic Front Porch Forums (made possible, one might observe, by the global computer industry and the Internet). Its diverse local currency plans would deter financial leakage out of their areas of circulation, and thus stimulate local economies.

There are obvious omissions, impracticalities, and weak points in this vision, but it would be unkind to dwell on them. What is refreshing about the book is that the authors, unlike socialists, do not envision or support the idea of some right-thinking vanguard seizing political power and coercing the population into taking their assigned places in the Grand Design.

They look forward to an active, public spirited citizenry, free to reshape their local communities through their own efforts, examples, persuasion, and enterprise. This is a goal worth supporting, and despite its title, Most Likely to Secede offers many ways to get there.

LETTERS Thoughts on library needs

To the editor: “It’s not about what the library needs.”

Definitely not the words that a supporter of Ilsley Library wants to hear from a member of the Middlebury Board of Selectmen. Unfortunately that is just what Chairperson Dean George said at our meeting on Tuesday, July 9.

Our board had just received a detailed report from our colleague Victor Nuovo about the meeting that day of the New Town Offices and Recreation Center Steering Committee (the “committee”). Victor reported that committee members had a number of concerns about the town offices/recreation center project. The chief concerns expressed by committee representatives on behalf of Ilsley Library were a call for the architecture of the planned

building to be harmonious with, and not “overshadow” the library, that any plan take into consideration the present need for an additional 6000 square feet of space, and that opportunities for future library expansion not be foreclosed upon by the design of the town office building.

Additionally, Victor told us that several committee members stated their desire that the town to take a “step back” and create a comprehensive plan for the current and future needs of the town offices, the library, and the Recreation Department. Also, one astute committee member noted that the project does not comply with the current Town Plan adopted on Dec. 11, 2012.

Dean went on the explain that a majority of the board has, “...made it clear...the direction we want to go.” He stated that these ideas were “distractions” that could lead to a delay in bringing the project to a vote. Clearly a significant portion of the

•A boy born June 29, Ethan Ryan Hatcher, to Christopher & Amy (Conway) Hatcher of Mineville.

•A boy born June 29, Wyatt Matthew Parks, to Zachary Parks & Sarah Briggs of Bristol.

committee does not think that the needs of Ilsley Library, the Recreation Department, and Mary Hogan School, have been given the consideration that they deserve.

Elected officials lead best when they decide their course of action by listening to their constituents. As representatives of the people we must listen to citizen’s concerns and respond thoughtfully to their input, adjusting our plans as needed.

I have made no secret of the fact that I do not support moving the town offices from their current site. But if the voters approve of this plan we need to erect our facilities in a cost effective manner so that they will last for several generations. Our Board of Selectmen should listen to our citizens and respond by fostering the creation of a comprehensive plan that takes into account the needs of all of the stakeholders.

Brother, sister swim across Lake Champlain

By Claire Durham

denpubs@denpubs.com WILLSBORO — On a warm Tuesday, July 9, a brother-and sister duo swam the 8-mile stretch between Willsboro Point, New York and Shelburne Point, Vermont.

Matthew Weiskotten, 26, and Shauna Weiskotten, 24, were recreating a special swim, while their mother, father, and sister followed them in a motorboat.

“About 22 years ago, my dad swam across the lake and so for a long time, I wanted to see if I could do it,” Matt said.

“I remember him [my dad] setting out and just looking across the lake and thinking ‘there’s no way somebody could do that, it just seems impossible,’” Shauna said, “and I guess when I got to about [age] 12 or something it occurred to me that ‘hey maybe I could do that too.’”

Their father, Ron Weiskotten, swam across the lake on July 23, 1991.

“I remember the stretch between the Four Brother [Islands] and Juniper seemed like a long stretch, and then one of the things I did was I went around the north end of Juniper and Matt and Shauna went around the south end,” Ron said.

After coming around the islands, Ron ended up more in the boating lanes so his wife, Jeanne, who was his guide in the motorboat, stayed close to him to let other boats know where he was. At one point he had to swim out of the way of the Ethan Allen.

“It wasn’t a close call, but you know when you see it coming at you it’s interesting,” Ron said.

After making it to Shelburne, Ron remembers how good it felt just to walk up on shore and to know he made his goal. But he didn’t fathom that his children, who were 5 and 3 at the time, would follow suit.

“I never dreamed someday they’d [Matt and Shauna] be doing it like they are and it was wonderful to see them doing it,” Ron said.

“They kept up a beautiful pace, just going and going and going. They were waiting for each other and at times they were almost swimming almost next to each other and I think that was definitely a benefit.”

To train for the swim, Matt and Shauna built up their endurance.

Matt works as a lifeguard at his local YMCA so he often swims after work.

“I have spent the last couple

months preparing for this swim by working myself up to 100 laps a day for 5 days a week,” he said.

Shauna was on the JV swim team in high school, so she knew she had to mentally as well as physically prepare to swim that length.

“I started training around January through maybe half of March, but then I got really busy with job interviewing,” she said, “so when I got into the water, I was thinking ‘I’ll swim along as far as I can.’”

At just after 1 p.m. on Tuesday, they started out from their grandparent’s summer home in Willsboro; Matt, clad in just swimming trunks, and Shauna, wearing a swim cap, goggles, and a Speedo swimsuit.

Ron drove the boat, while Jeanne watched them and their sister, Leanna, handed them Gatorade to keep them hydrated.

“The lake was beautiful, it was nice and calm the whole way. The thing we watched out for was logs but of course at the speed we were going there wasn’t much danger,” Ron said.

“At first I was thinking it was too warm, but then I kind of realized once we got past Juniper and the lake was colder, which felt nicer, my muscles started cramping more,” Shauna said, “so I was actually grateful that it had been really warm the whole way.”

However, some stormy conditions appeared early into the swim.

“When we got a little ways out, maybe around the [Four Brother] Islands, it started looking more and more stormy toward the New York side and of course the swimmers weren’t aware of that, they were too focused on Vermont,” Jeanne said.

They could hear a little bit of thunder, but once past the Four Brother Islands, they could see the storm start to dissipate. But the wind, which had been a very light Southeast wind, suddenly switched a little more to the south.

“A little bit of waves came up, but then we could see the calm water ahead and they [Matt and Shauna] kept kind of swimming back into the calm water so we stayed out of any major problems,” Jeanne said.

“For me the hardest part was that my muscles were cramping up because they weren’t used to swimming such a long period of time,” Shauna said, “so I made sure I drank plenty of water and Gatorade and really focused on mind over matter and relaxing my muscles.”

“Once I got out to Juniper, I was like ‘there’s no way I’m not going the whole way now,’” she

added.

Along with keeping watch out for debris in the path of the boat or swimmers, Ron said that he, his wife, and his daughter were constantly on the lookout for boats.

“We had a couple of jet skies come around and they changed direction quickly,” Ron said.

“We did maneuver that way a few times, particularly there was a boat that swung around Shelburne Point and suddenly starting coming at Matt,” he added.

Ron gunned their motorboat and got in between his son and the other watercraft.

“I don’t know which direction they would’ve gone but they ended up veering off,” he said, “that was probably the biggest surprise because they kind of came out of nowhere and it was a speedboat and they were going pretty good.”

The brother and sister made it successfully to Shelburne Point a little after 5 p.m.

Jeanne remembers when Matt got to the other side: he climbed up on the beach just past the point in Shelburne and put his arms up while shouting “Yo Adrian I did it,” a line made popular from the movie Rocky.

STARKSBORO — When the Town of Starksboro agreed to install a high tech solar array several years ago, it was with a bit of trepidation, but today they are celebrating the decision as they deposit a check for $3,000 from Green Mountain Power into the town’s coffers.

The solar array is the result of an agreement with AllEarth Renewables of Williston. AllEarth approached the Selectboard with a five-year power purchase proposal wherein they would install the panels and the town would agree to purchase the power at a fixed rate that is slightly lower rate than Green Mountain Power’s rate. At the end of the 5 year term, the town will have several options: they can choose to cancel completely and have AllEarth remove the panels; they can renew with another five year contract; or they can complete an outright purchase for 30% of the original cost of the array.

The Starksboro Selectboard, anticipating higher electric rates, thought that sounded like a good deal, and hoped that being locked in to a lower rate would help the town’s bottom line.

Green Mountain Power is a solid backer of solar power in Vermont. GMP Spokeswoman Dottie Schnorr said that when peak energy use occurs, it actually costs the company more to purchase the power from the grid than they are lawfully allowed

to charge their customers. The company quickly recognized the value of solar, and of offering a 6 cent per kilowatt hour premium on solar generation. “Even if you use the energy, GMP will still pay the 6 cent per kilowatt hour premium because (the solar customer) is off the system.” Even with the premium, GMP still saves money and energy.

The premium offer came about when the Vermont legislature, wanting to encourage renewable energy, passed a law that utilities must offer a premium for solar generation. “We see a lot of interest and customer support for renewables in Vermont,” said Schnorr. “We support policies that move that.”

In Starksboro, the solar experiment has been a success. “It’s working out every bit as we hoped is would,” said Selectboard Chair Susan Jefferies. “We were the first town in Vermont to be 100% solar, and when the agreement was made, it made sense, but it was kind of scary to be the first to take that leap.” Today, Starksboro’s six solar panels run all five of the town buildings, including the Town Clerk’s office, the town Hall, Fire Department, the former Town Office Building, and the Town Garage.

Each year on Town Meeting Day the Selectboard reports on the panels to the townspeople and to date the citizens continue to support funds for an eventual purchase.

would be added to the National Wild and Scenic Rivers System under legislation introduced June 27 by Sens. Bernie Sanders (I-VT.) and Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) and Rep. Peter Welch (D-Vt.).

The system managed by the Department of the Interior was established in 1968 to recognize and preserve rivers with remarkable scenic and recreational value. Today, 40 other states have rivers listed under the Wild and Scenic Rivers System.

The legislation was recommended by a committee created by Congress in 2009 to evaluate the rivers’ potential for wild and scenic designation. The committee earlier this year unanimously rec-

municipalities which voted for designation at their town meetings. This Wild and Scenic status can help us promote the use of the rivers for recreation while not taking anything away from the landowners who make their homes and livings along the banks of these waters.”

Designation under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act will protect the natural, cultural and recreational qualities of the Upper Missisquoi and Trout rivers; enabling continued enjoyment of the rivers by fishermen, hunters and paddlers. It will also help maintain good water quality within the rivers, as well as in Lake Champlain, where the Missisquoi River flows into.

Pesticide warning from page 1

BEST FRIENDS — A volunteer at the Rutland County Humane Society in Pittsford exercises a dog in the morning sunshine. Without the help of Rutland-area volunteers, animals available for adoption would not get the proper exercise they need to remain healthy. Volunteers are also criticial to the RCHS’s bottom line; they help keep the animal shelter up and running.

Chen told the Burlington Free Press that the state is testing 50 or more households that were treated for bedbugs by the company. So far, five homes have tested positive for the banned pesticide.

About 50 to more than 100 homes may be tested for chlorpyrifos, and the Health Department will contact residents to explain sample results. In some cases, we will recommend that residents relocate until their residence is decontaminated.

Chlorpyrifos is an organophosphate insecticide. Residential use of chlorpyrifos is no longer allowed because of potential health effects.

Chlorpyrifos inhibits acetylcholinesterase, and causes accumulation of acetylcholine at the neuromuscular junction. Exposure to chlorpyrifos may cause cholinergic symptoms in both the peripheral and central nervous system. Symptoms include SLUDGE (salivation, lacrimation, urination, defecation, gastrointestinal distress, and emesis). Other symptoms include nausea,

If treated surfaces are cleaned with an oxidizer, the active metabolite (chlorpyrifos-oxon) may be formed. Chlorpyrifos-oxon is more toxic than chlorpyrifos.

Urinary 3,5,6-trichloro-2-pyridinol (TCP) levels may be indicative of exposure to chlorpyrifos. Blood cholinesterase activity can also be used to indicate exposure to chlorpyrifos and other organophosphates, although interpretation of cholinesterase activity in the absence of a baseline can be problematic.

Report suspected cases – If you suspect that a patient has experienced symptoms as a result of chlorpyrifos exposure, call the Health Department at 802-863-7598.

Executive session from page 1

refused, and contended that executive session was customary for contract negotiations. ANESU Superintendent Evelyn Howard told Jefferies that the board was concerned that they’d be “distracted” by having the public present and observing the proceedings.

Section 313 of the state’s open meeting law identifies consideration of contracts, mediation and arbitration as possible reasons to enter executive session. However, the law also requires the board to conclude that “premature general public knowledge would clearly place the state, municipality, or other public body or person involved at a substantial disadvantage.” The open meeting law is regularly used to deny public access to negotiations and discussions where the parties involved might find public access and scrutiny uncomfortable. This practice effectively denies the public access to school board meetings, where the negotiation directly impact members of the community, the schools they pay for, and the quality of education and it’s a trend Jefferies hopes his lawsuit will reverse.

Jefferies argues that virtually no face-to-face or mediated negotiation session can reasonably meet the “substantial disadvantage” threshold cited in the open meeting law simply because

www.addison-eagle.com the negotiations are held in view of the public, unless the council has determined that an extraordinary situation is expected that would trigger the threshold. He contends that the mere expectation that board or council members might feel uncomfortable or distracted by being observed by the public in an open meeting is insufficient grounds to constitute “substantial disadvantage.”

“It comes down to transparency,” said Jefferies. “It impacts 2/3 to 3/4 of the property taxes, and the teaching conditions.

It’s too important to be decided in secret.”

In 2001 the Vermont Supreme Court overturned a lower court in a similar case, commenting in their ruling that “indeed it is unclear how access to the negotiations would place the town at a substantial disadvantage since the adversary (the negotiating party) in the negotiation is already present.”

Jefferies filed his complaint with Addison Country Superior Court in March. He’s representing himself, with back-up from a legal advisor, so he was surprised when, at the court ordered status hearing, John Stitzel, the senior partner of the Burlington law firm Stitzle, Page & Fletcher appeared to represent the school district.

“I expected one of the minor associates from the law firm,” said Jefferies. “It was very telling. He was trying to get the suit dismissed on the basis that the court has no jurisdiction, and that the complainant was speculating that he wouldn’t be let in (to the next meeting.)” Jefferies says that excluding the public at the

49815

July 20, 2013 whim of the board sets a reasonable expectation that such exclusion will continue in the future.

Both parties will now file written arguments with the court, but regardless of which way the ruling goes, Jefferies isn’t about to sit down and be quiet just yet.

“My belief is that this case is important enough, no matter who loses, that is goes to the Vermont Supreme Court. It could change negotiations statewide and would reverberate across the state, chilling the continuance of this travesty.”

Compost operation planned for Salisbury SALISBURY — The Salisbury Development Review Board held a public hearing in the Salisbury Community School Gymnasium, June 19, for the purpose of considering application from Daniel Smith of IES, Integrated Energy Solutions, Inc. Salisbury Review Board Clerk Jeff Leno said IES’s application is for the construction and operation of a facility that produces and sells compost soil products and animal bedding.

The compost plant site is on land owned by Ernest Goodrich at the Goodrich Farm at 615 Shard Villa Rd. The site is among Salisbury’s low density residential districts.

IES, is a Vermont-based developer of farm-based methane energy.

In 2010, IES agreed with Middlebury College to explore a bio-methane gas collection and delivery system that could help the campus further reduce its use of conventional fuels.

IES’s application materials will remain available for public scrutiny in the town office during business hours, according to Leno.

IES, Integrated Energy Solutions, Inc. of Vermont, plans a compost operation on the Goodrich Farm in Salisbury.
