Localf oods group helps fight hunger

SANTA’S COMING TO TOWN

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ The holiday season has a way of bringing out the best in people. ItÕ s something about the spirit of Christmas and Hanukkah which lends to an uptick in private and public contributions to a variety of charities. However, many volunteers and others donate time and money to fight poverty in Addison County through the year.

In the case of Middlebury College Class of 2015 students Harry Zieve Cohen of Brooklyn, N.Y., and Nathan Weil of Nyon, Switzerland, giving back to the community is a given.

The two students lead Middlebury Foods, a new non-profit organization; itÕ s a means for grassroots hunger fighting. Coehn and Weil are joined by Jack Cookson of San Francisco, Calif., Eduardo Da–ino-Beck of Lima, Peru, Elias Gilman of Berkeley, Calif., Chris CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Vermont micro-satellite achieves Earth orbit

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com

A Minotaur I rocket carrying, among other payloads, 11 small research satellites, including the Vermont CubeSat, as part of a NASA program, lifts off from NASA’s Wallops Flight Facility in Virginia—the space agency’s smaller, Mid-Atlantic cousin of Cape Canaveral—at 8:15 p.m. Nov. 19.

Image Credit: NASA/Chris Perry

BURLINGTONÑ Vermont doesnÕ t come to mind when you think of exploring the final frontier of outer space. However, four in-state colleges have collaborating on a mini satellite called a CubeSat that’s now in space—the first time Vermonters have placed an in-state designed and built spacecraft into Earth orbit.

Students from four area collegesÑ Vermont Technical College, the University of Vermont, Norwich University, and St. MichaelÕ s CollegeÑ worked together on the high-tech satellite with help from engineering and physics faculty members.

Vermont’s first homegrown satellite was launched from Wallops Island, Va., aboard an Orbital Sciences Minotaur 1 rocket at 8:15 p.m. Nov. 19. The payload included 10 other student-built mini satellites and other small orbiters.

NASA confirmed Nov. 20 that the Vermont satellite is operating as planned. Ò As the miniature satellites come online, the teams responsible for them are beginning to receive signals. Although it could take several more days for full confirmation, all of the CubeSats appear to be doing well in their new home in low-Earth orbit.

Paying $2 billion for “health care reform”

L

ast week Vermonters learned that the Avalere Health Group’s independent report, financed by Vermont Partners for Health Care Reform, concluded that implementing Green Mountain Care in 2017 would likely require $2 billion or more in new taxes on Vermonters Ð far more than the $1.6 billion admitted to by the Shumlin Administration.

According to media reports, this came as a huge surprise to the Shumlin administration and legislative leadership. It came as no surprise to me. For the past two years I have built, refined, and improved a model projecting GMC costs. Its 2013 update was completed after the Shumlin administration released the $300,000 UMass report. The Avalere report completely confirms my February 2013 projection.

An unforeseen Ð by the Shumlin administration - $400 million annual shortfall would be devastating for the finances of our small state and would do severe damage to our health care system.

Unfortunately the legislature, by enacting Act 48 of 2011, has put in place all of the machinery needed to launch Green Mountain Care. The implementation of that government-run taxpayerfinanced single payer system is now less than three years away.

Supporters of a single payer system, including the majority of the legislature and Governor Shumlin, largely dismissed my findings and calls for realism. In the fall of 2011 I mailed a letter to Governor Shumlin, Lt. Governor Scott and each legislator urging the general assembly to undertake an independent study that would prove or disprove my conclusions about the cost of single payer, and to explore the economic impact of the sweeping health care Ò reformÓ act they had just passed into law.

They werenÕ t interested, because they did not want to give credibility to any analysis that punctured their unrealistic pipe dream of Ò health care is a human right, vast savings from administrative efficiency, better health outcomes for everybody, and sound financing (courtesy of the tooth fairy)”. The findings of the Avalere Health report reinforce my earlier conclusions, and will hopefully make this administration finally get serious about the path they are so eagerly following.

Avalere Health concluded that the hoped-for administrative savings are unlikely to be realized.

They concluded that planned reductions in reimbursement rates will have a deleterious effect on the health care system and put severe cost pressure on providers, including physicians and hospitals. I agree.

I also estimate that the federal subsidies slated to come into the single payer system from the Exchange will be lower than the Shumlin administration expects. Altogether, the real risk lies in the revenue sourcesÑ including the savings (if any), the available federal grants, and our own tax capacity. I remain convinced that implementation of single payer Green Mountain Care will put the state’s finances at risk due to revenues falling far short of this mega-system’s expenses.

At this magnitude, errors or wishful thinking regarding projected costs or revenues could quickly wipe out VermontÕ s fund balance. Without a substantial fund balance Vermont will be unable to provide the basic services of government, such as roads, education and social services. If the state borrows to cover its GMC deficit spending, our bond rating will plummet.

Governor Shumlin recently alluded to an 18 percent payroll tax as a possible way of funding Green Mountain Care. What he didnÕ t say was that this tax is likely to be progressive, with high wage earners paying at a higher rate and low wage earners paying less.

The economic impact of this tax burden on employers and employees would be enormous. It represents flawed thinking about how to create economic vitality, and will reduce future tax revenues to the state by putting greater pressure on already tapped out taxpayers.

I would hope there might be other less costly and less disruptive options to solve our health care challenge to cover everyone in some way, and keep our state solvent while doing so.

The concrete general-admission sections in both the firstand third-base grandstands were replaced by 1,500 brand new permanent fixed seats, giving fans a more comfortable and enhanced view of the game. The backstop behind home plate was been moved out 12 feet closer to home plate and roughly 100 seats have been created in a new seating area to give fans a field level view of the action.

In addition, a seating area was been created next to the visitors dugout in front of the third base grandstand. Both the home and away dugouts were been demolished and replaced with larger and more modern dugouts that are approximately 50 percent larger with more amenities than the previous dugouts. Finally, the fences surrounding Centennial Field were moved 10-20 feet closer to the playing field, decreasing the foul territory while enlarging the BBQ section down the left-field line to create more fan space for a better viewing experience.

The arts are alive on Middlebury’s campus Behind the scenes at the Mahaney Center

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MIDDLEBURY Ñ There are always advantages to living in and around New England college towns—first, there are the dynamics of young people surrounding you; second, there’s access to shops and eateries, even a book store or two, and third, there are all those amazing public campus events and resources right in your own backyard.

In the case of historic Middlebury College, among the juicy low fruits dangling for locals to pluck and savor is the Kevin P. Mahaney Ô 84 Center for the Arts, located along Route 30, on the west side of campus.

Under a single roof, the center includes the Middlebury College Museum of ArtÑ which many consider among the best in rural northern New EnglandÑ the black-box style Seeler Studio Theatre, a dance theater, and a spectacular 370-seat music hall.

Outside the big campus arts facility, film and media programs are held in Dana Auditorium and the Axinn Center, with stage productions held in Wright Theatre and the Hepburn Zoo, studio art shows appear in Johnson Hall, student exhibitions in the Center Gallery in McCullough Hall, and year-round special eventsÑ including several upcoming holiday offeringsÑ are held in Mead Chapel.

The Mahaney Center for the Arts serves as the primary hub of arts activity on campus and beyond. In fact, the collegeÕ s arts mission is geared not only for students, but it extends into the community; the rest of us never have to feel like outsiders, at least when it comes to the arts on the Middlebury campusÑ especially when you consider the normal ups and downs of towngown interactions.

Opened more than 20 years ago, MiddleburyÕ s visual and performing arts facility provides a welcoming environment where the arts come alive. Local, national, and international artists are familiar faces at the centerÕ s offerings.

Behind every successful artistic venture are the dedicated stewards, marketers, and afficionados. In the case the Mahaney Center, Director Liza Sacheli shepards the campus art program.

Since Sacheli began her tenure during the late 1990s, the center has blossomed into a vibrant center; it provides a showcase for artists too numerous to acknowledge here.

Behind the scenes at the Center for the Arts are long months of planning, booking and publicizing events. While many events

Joining Sacheli on the Center for the Arts staff are Debby Anderson, box office manager, Shannon Bohler-Small, arts events manager, Allison Coyne Carroll, associate director of the Performing Arts Series, Mark Christensen, Concert Hall technical director, Christa Clifford, associate director for operations and finance, and Missey Thompson, administrative coordinator So, how does a showcase college campus like Middlebury present such award-winning artistic offerings?

We talked with Sacheli about the Mahaney Center and its impact on the local community.

Eagle: First off, whatÕ s your background in the arts?

Sacheli: Ò I have a lifelong interest in the arts. Growing up, I was exposed to a lot of arts experiences, because my father is a studio artist, and my mother and grandfather were accomplished singers. My undergrad degree is in theater arts, but I also studied music, dance, and visual arts. After college, I worked at two professional theaters in my hometown of Buffalo, N.Y., before moving to Middlebury in 1997. I received my masters degree in business administration, which helps on the management side of the arts. I have been at Middlebury for 17 years.Ó Eagle: What does it take to oversee a college arts center of this caliber?

Sacheli: Ò The job involves some selection of programsÑ but it also means supporting the programs of our Performing Arts Series, the museum, and our seven academic arts programsÑ dance, music, theatre, film and media culture, studio art, art history, and architectural studies. We provide the connective tissue between all these various arts programs. The staff provides technical support, marketing and public relations, ticketing services, event management, scheduling, financial management, planning of academic outreach, artist hospitality, and the like.Ó Eagle: The college is the primary driver of the arts locally, but what other venues do you consider vital contributors?

What are the strengths and weaknesses locally and beyond?

Sacheli: Ò Middlebury has a really rich cultural scene. The Mahaney Center for the Arts and the Middlebury College Museum of Art are important contributors to that sceneÑ we offer over 300 public arts events every year. But we also have many other great arts and cultural organizations in our area, such as Town Hall Theater, the Vermont Folklife Center, the Sheldon Museum, and the ArtsWalk.Ó Eagle: What is the health of the arts locally? Is it better than, say, a decade ago?

Sacheli: Ò MiddleburyÕ s arts scene is definitely stronger today than it was a decade ago.

Middlebury has a really rich cultural scene today. The Mahaney Center for the Arts and the Middlebury College Museum of Art are important contributors to that scene. But we also have so many other great arts and cultural organizations in our area as I mentioned.

Do the numbers show support for your mission?

Sacheli: Ò We did a little number crunching, thanks Debby and Shannon. Last year, the Arts at Middlebury boasted attendance of over 33,000 people at over 300 events. In addition, over 12,000 people visited our Museum of Art last year. ThatÕ s over 45,000 total which is especially impressive when you consider there are only approximately 30,000 people in Addison County. With that said, the mission of the Mahaney Center is to enhance and steward MiddleburyÕ s environment for the study, creation, presentation, and integration of the arts. More simply, our job is connect artists to audiences.Ó Eagle: So, how are campus arts funded since so many events are free or seem to be free to those of us not affiliated with the college?

Sacheli: Ò The college is very generous in sponsoring its arts programs. We want those programs to be available as an academic resource, and as a community resource as well. Ticket prices are affordableÑ they compare well with other area per-

forming arts centersÑ and fully half of our events are free.

ThereÕ s a misperception that events at the Mahaney Center for the Arts are just for the college community. ThatÕ s not true. We are open for business to the Addison County community; with such a huge variety of offerings, thereÕ s bound to be something for everyone.Ó Eagle: What is the place for the local amateur, semi professional and professional artistÑ considering community theaters, coffeehouses, and the like?

Sacheli: Ò We have lots of local artists on our stagesÑ the recent Affiliate Artists’ Concert is a great example.

Everything you always wanted to know about amaryllis Green Scene Dr. Leonard Perry University of Vermont Although poinsettias remain number one in popularity for holiday plants, another plant that you’ll find commonly during late fall and winter is the amaryllis. ItÕ s usually sold either in bloom or bulb ready to pot, is a fast grower, has a long bloom period, and requires minimal care. This makes it a perfect choice for beginners or those without Ò green thumbsÓ , but its beauty is appreciated by even the more advanced gardeners.

The large trumpet flower resembles a lily, although it is not a member of that family but is a tropical bulb, originally imported from Central and South America. What we usually call an amaryllis (said as am-ar-ILL-iss) or Dutch amaryllis (since most of these hybrids were bred there) is actually a different genus (Hippeastrum). The true amaryllis, or Belladonna lily, that you may find in specialty catalogs or stores originally came from South Africa. Since either of these do not tolerate frost, they must be flowered indoors. Although the normal flowering season for the Dutch amaryllis is January through April, many greenhouses force it into bloom earlier to be ready for the December holidays.

Amaryllis (the Dutch hybrids) most commonly found include red, pink or salmon, whites, and bicolors of red and white. You may be able to find some miniature varieties at complete garden stores, or through mail order and online catalogs. These smaller plants grow to only a foot or so high and have smaller flowers, but otherwise look like the traditional ones.

Many amaryllis plants are sold already potted. All you do for these is to just add water. The larger the bulbs, the more likely you will have multiple flower stalks. You can make a plant flower for a special occasion by starting it five to seven weeks before the selected date.

If you buy bulbs separately instead of pre-potted, or in kits

complete with soil and pot ready to assemble, store them in a cool and dry location if you need to hold them for later potting or giving as gifts. Although these will keep for long periods, if sprouts start to develop youÕ ll need to plant them as soon as possible. Be careful not to expose the bulbs to freezing conditions.

Pot bulbs in containers just slightly wider than the bulb, such as a 5 to 6-inch wide pot.

There should be about an inch between the bulb and side of the pot. Or, you may want to put three bulbs in a 10 to 12-inch wide container. Amaryllis grow best if slightly crowded. Use a standard houseplant potting mediumÑ one containing a large amount of peat moss and no soil. Pot at a depth so the top third (the Ò neckÓ ) of the bulb is exposed.

The potting mix should end up about a half inch to inch below the pot rim. This allows space for watering.

A good way to not overwater (they donÕ t like to be waterlogged) is through sub-irrigation with warm water. Do this by filling a pot saucer or tray underneath, then letting the soil absorb the water.

After 30 minutes, discard any water that remains in the saucer.

From this point until flowering stems are a couple inches high, water sparinglyÑ only when the top inch or so of the potting mix feels dryÑ perhaps once a week. Watering too frequently or too much can cause the bulb to rot. Also when watering, make sure and use water that is slightly warm.

Put the freshly potted bulb in a warm location above 60 degrees (68 to 75 degrees F is idealÑ remember these are tropical).

Near a heat vent or wood stove (not on the woodstove), or on top of a refrigerator are good locations.

Place your amaryllis in a warm location that gets about 4 hours of direct sun daily, such as south-facing window. When the flow-

Amaryllis (Amayrillis online)

er bud stalk is about eight inches tall, you can place the pot in a cooler location if you want to slow growth. When the first bud is about to open, keeping cooler (such as 50 to 60 degrees) will prolong the bloom period. Warmer temperatures speed up and cause earlier flowering.

Since bulbs are self-contained packages, containing much food for the season, they donÕ t need much fertilizer. You may fertilize lightlyÑ about half strength of your normal houseplant fertilizerÑ every couple weeks, especially while the plant is in bloom.

After your amaryllis has bloomed, donÕ t throw them out.

You can save the bulbs to reflower in subsequent years. Start by removing the flowers as they fade. Continue to water the potted bulb regularly throughout the spring and summer. Apply liquid fertilizer, according to label directions. After all danger of frost is past in the spring, you can plant the bulb, pot and all, in the garden in a semi-shaded spot.

DonÕ t place in full sun or the leaves may Ò burnÓ and turn brown.

Energy Center opens in Rutland

By Elicia Mailhiot

newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND Ñ A new symbol of RutlandÕ s resurgence and a key to Green Mountain PowerÕ s future opened in downtown Wednesday.

The Energy Innovation Center hosted over 100 individuals itÕ s opening day, who showed up to see just what was inside the old Merchants Row storefront. The center is home to 12 exhibits, which were created by The Imagination Co., a Bethel based advertising, marketing, and graphicÕ s company.

Visitors can learn how different seasons impact solar creation, as well as how hydro and wind generators produce electricity, all from hands-on exhibits. But perhaps the most engaging is the seven-foot talking animatronic Holstein, who discusses how electricity is made from manure in the utilities Ò Cow PowerÓ program.

Even the building itself is a model of innovation, said GMPÕ s Vice-President for Generation and Energy Innovation Steve Costello. The facility features air-source heat pumps using heat

socks, removing the need for heating fuel, two solar arrays, LED lighting, triple-pane windows, skylights, and motion sensors to reduce artificial lighting needs, he said. Ò A year ago, I told the board of aldermen that we wanted to make a statement about efficiency and our commitment to Rutland with the building, delivering a message about RutlandÕ s future, which we think is bright,Ó said Costello. Ò With an extraordinary effort by Russell, NBF and dozens of other local and statewide subcontractors, I think we hit the mark. We see great things ahead in Rutland and in the EIC, for our customers and the community.Ó Numerous educational and community leaders attended the opening, including Mayor Christopher Louras, Sen. Kevin Mullin, and Board of Alderman President Dave Allaire, also an employee of New Market Press. Sen. Peg Flory was excited to see the project come to life, noting the potential impact the center has on the area. Ò I am pleased to see the Energy Innovation Center deliver on GMPÕ s goal to not only make Rutland the solar capital of New England, but spurring a revitalization of the downtown,Ó she

said. Ò The economic opportunity and job creation occurring in and around Rutland is exciting.Ó The education center, which features art deco signage and neon green lettering, will be open to the public during weekdays and Saturdays.

Town seeks new tree warden MIDDLEBURY Ñ The Middlebury Select Board is seeking a new town tree warden. This is an appointed position, open to any Middlebury resident with appropriate skills and experience.

Lake salmon coming back in a big way Fishing

By Randy Colomb

rcolomb@juno.com MIDDLEBURY — The salmon fishing in Lake Champlain is turning into world class quality thanks to the success of the the lamprey treatment program and the fish stocking program.

The numbers of trout and salmon caught and released by anglers in the big lake on any outing can run from the high teens to as many as 30, even 40.

Most of the fish are solid clean heavy fish for their length with few lamprey wounds.

Last Saturday, the first day of the high holy day of rifle deer season there was 20 boat trailers at the Converse access ramp.

The Frostbite fleet has taken a life of it’s own with people coming from all the surrounding states and Quebec.

The lengthening of the open-water season should be good for businesses supporting the needs of an increased number of anglers and related visitors to the lake basin.

The recent fifth season opening celebration was a hit last week.

The Frostbite Fleet Salmon Shootout is held the first Saturday of November hosted at Point Bay Marina with Brandon resident Patrick Clark winning the rotational trophy for 2013 with a 8 lb.

13 oz. beautiful salmon. Some 45 to 50 boats and fishermen put in to Point Bay Marina to have a weigh in Award and following potluck Cookout.

Recently, the North Ferrisburgh United Methodist Church hosted a meeting with the Middlebury Foods foundersÑ for church members and for Ferrisburgh Central School staffÑ so that both church and school can act as drop off sites for food boxes.

According to church member Christine Steadman, Cohen and Weil created the non-profit to get healthy fresh (not canned) meats, vegetables and fruits available to all income levels for 40 percent off what the foods would cost in a supermarket.

“Our profit margins are low, and whatever money we make goes towards expanding the business and making it self-sustaining,Ó according to the studentsÕ website. Ò Eventually, Middlebury Foods will pay for itself. That is to say, if all goes well, our customers will eventually fund the business themselves. No outside donations will be needed.Ó Ò The hope is that low income Vermonters who depend on food shelves and thus do not get much access to fresh foods, would be able to afford the food,Ó said church member Christine Steadman. Ò But anyone can buy the food and save money. North Ferrisburgh United Methodist church and the Ferrisburgh Central school are looking to generate 20-30 orders, so it will be worth it for Middlebury Foods to deliver to these two sites. This would mean Vermonters in these locations would have access to high quality healthy foods at fast food prices.Ó A family box contains meats (delivered frozen), fresh vegetables and fruits and pasta, approximately enough for 28 meals at only $1.25 a meal.

Middlebury Foods has made a meal box affordable for those who need the assistance. A family boxÑ with food enough to feed a small familyÑ costs $35. The boxed meal price is roughly 40 percent off what you would pay in a supermarket, according to Steadman.

The Middlebury Foods website states that itÕ s based on ChicagoÕ s Top Box Foods. Top Box has served thousands of people at affordable prices. Ò Our challenges in Vermont are admittedly different from what Top Box faced in Chicago, but we are confident that we

From page 1 The teams are responsible for confirming activation and normal operations of the CubeSats,” an unidentified NASA spokesperson said.

According to NASA’s Office of CubeSat Launch Initiative, a CubeSat is classified as a “nano research satellite”—a fancy term for a very little space robot.

The cube-shaped satellite built in Vermont is approximately four inches long, with a volume of about one quart; it weighs less than three pounds. Ò The advancements of the CubeSat community are enabling an acceleration of flight-qualified technology that will ripple through the aerospace industry,Ó said Jason Crusan, director of NASAÕ s Advanced Exploration Systems Division, which oversees the CubeSat Launch Initiative. Ò Our future missions will be standing on the developments the CubeSat community has enabled.Ó A NASA-funded CubeSat investigation project like VermontÕ s is consistent with the space agencyÕ s strategic and education goals.

have developed a model that can replicate Top BoxÕ s success,Ó the students note on the Middlebury Foods website.

Families are welcome to order single boxes.

For example, a Middlebury Foods Ò meat boxÓ includes 11 pounds of nutritious meat for $30 and a Ò vegetable boxÓ contains 12 pounds of fresh vegetables for $25. Ò Delivery happens once a month,Ó Steadman said. Ò Middlebury Foods phones or e-mails customers to remind then of the delivery date, place and time.

They currently accept cash, credit cards, checks or debit cards at delivery. By January they hope to be able to accept food stamps as well.Ó In advance of Christmas Day, deliveries will be made sometime the weekend of Dec. 7-8.

How are the Middlebury Foods meals packaged? The meat comes frozen in small, easily managed portions. The current box includes three pounds of chicken breasts packaged as single breastsÑ that way, families and individuals can decide what to defrost and what to save in the freezer for a future meal.

Check It Out: To order a food box and have it delivered, call 802-425-2770 (if you do not have Internet access) or go online to http://middleburyfoods.sqsp.com/ (click Ò orderÓ at the top of the page menu bar and fill out an order form), choose the Ferrisburgh option for location.

and educational goals. Ò We have a NASA grant through the Vermont Space Grant Consortium of $195,000 led by Vermont Technical College with parts of the project done by Norwich University and University of Vermont faculty and students and St. MichaelÕ s College students,Ó said Vermont Technical CollegeÕ s Dr. Carl S. Brandon, co-director of the CubeSat project. He is working closely with Dr. William D. Lakin of the University of Vermont to oversee the complex project.

“We are using a NASA Goddard Spaceflight Center navigation software package that uses GPS and celestial navigation on our CubeSat. We had applied for whatÕ s called a Ô NASA Launch OpportunityÕ that was announced in March 2011.

According to Brandon, the satellite integration costÑ $30,000Ñ was paid by NASA. That included everything needed to ship and pack the satellite into the rocket payload faring.

The current price for a single CubeSat launch is between $75,000 and $100,000, Brandon said, so the NASA price was a good bargain for the Vermont colleges involved. Ò Of all the applications submitted to NASA for the launch opportunity, our application was ranked 10. ThatÕ s why we were selected for the launch,Ó he said.

CubeSat was a big challenge for students involved in the effort.

It required pushing the envelope in software development, electronic engineering and assembly. Ò The single CubeSat for the launch opportunity will test our navigation system and use NASAÕ s GPS Enhanced Onboard Navigation System (GEONS) software, a space qualified GPS receiver and a star tracker cameraÑ built a Norwich University,Ó he said. Ò It has an onboard computer system, solar-power supply and radio transceiver to communicate with our ground station at Vermont Tech. We are the only group in the world working on a CubeSat design that will one day go to the Moon,Ó he said.

Brandon said VermontÕ s CubeSat was originally conceived to fly to the Moon, however, exact plans by NASA regarding sending the student-built craft to our nearest neighbor in space are uncertain at the moment.

In addition to Vermont colleges, other colleges were awarded launch opportunities, too: Auburn University, California Polytechnic State University of Michigan, Utah State University; all were chosen to build CubeSats. Ò As you can see, we are in prestigious company,Ó Brandon said.

Vermont’s NASA Space Grant Consortium office, based at UVMÕ s Votey Building, funded a large part of the cost. However, the Vermont CubeSat team had to raise $15,000.

GOP leaders to Shumlin: delay health-care mandates

By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com MONTPELIER Ñ Vermont Republican Caucus leaders Sen. Joe Benning (R-Caledonia) and Rep. Don Turner (R-Milton) called upon the Gov. Peter Shumlin (D) last week to delay employer and individual mandates to purchase health insurance on Vermont Health Connect, VermontÕ s online healthcare exchange through Dec. 31 of next year.

The two sent a letter to Gov. Peter Shumlin (R). Ó It is obvious that the system now intended to connect Vermonters to their new health insurance is not fully operational.Ó Benning and Turner wrote. Ò None of us are sure of when it will be so. Too many Vermonters, now with insurance, are needlessly anxious about whether they will be able to retain any insurance at all while the system is fixed. The system should be fully operational before mandates are applied. Enclosed you will find two bills being introduced simultaneously in the House and Senate.

The purpose of these bills is to delay through 2014 the employer and individual mandate requiring the purchase of health insur-

ance through the exchange. Granting this delay will also allow the legislature, and you, to institute changes to perfect this system. If it is within your power to grant this delay without waiting for legislative approval, we would encourage you to do so.Ó Turner and Benning also issued a news release last week which expanded on their letter to Shumlin: Ò Vermonters should

continue to have access to their current insurance plans while continuing to work to improve the Vermont Health Connect system...Ó The two GOP legislators said they will continue to address inequities during the controversial health-care rollout.
