SELF DEFENSE

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com MIDDLEBURY — Bees are a familiar part of Vermont rural landscape, especially for those farmers and hobbyists who enjoy the challenges and rewards of beekeeping for either fun or profit—or both.

Within the Green Mountain State, UVM, the University of Vermont, is the best source for the latest scientific findings about bees, especially about how bees are integral part of our environment. Now, according to a new study by two scientists at UVM and Harvard University, more than half the people in some developing countries could become at-risk for malnutrition if crop-pollinating animals—notably bees—continue to decline.

The new UVM-Harvard research has clearly demonstrated that what people eat, at least in the four developing countries that were part of the study, is essential to pollination requirements of the crops that provide their food and nutrients. Ò The take-home is,Ó said UVM biologist Taylor Ricketts who co-led the work, Ò pollinator declines can really matter to human health, with quite scary numbers for vitamin A deficiencies, for example, which can lead to blindness and increase death CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

HINESBURG Ñ A Champlain Valley Union High School para educator appeared in Vermont Superior Court last Friday to plead not guilty to three felony charges of sexual exploitation of a minor who is a high school student.

Julianne Graham, 25, of Burlington was arrested last week at her home in BurlingtonÕ s New North End. According to a police affidavit, Graham started and preserved a sexual relationship with a CVU student in Charlotte over six months ago. During FridayÕ s court proceedings, Graham also pleaded not guilty to a felony charge of unlawful restraint for Ò taking custodyÓ of the student without permission.

The charges leveled against Graham aren’t covered under a Vermont law forbidding sexual acts between an adult in a supervisory position with anyone under 18. If convicted, Graham’s prison sentence could run up to 5 years and a fine of up to $10,000 CONTINUED ON PAGE 14

The art of Masako Inkyo comes to Middlebury

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

Among the most accomplished shodo artists is Japanese calligrapher Masako Inkyo. She will make a special appearance at Middlebury College, Saturday, March 7, 11 a.m. through 1 p.m., and demonstrate this rich charcoal ink-based artform.

MIDDLEBURY — The beautiful, ancient graphic art of Japanese shodo has made its mark down through the centuries.

Most recently, exotic shodo characters have appeared as hip skin illustrations with the airy brush strokes becoming even more popular in San Francisco tattoo parlors than kanji. However, to be sure, the shodo art—with its Chinese roots—includes both kanji (Chinese) and hiragana (Japanese).

Among the most accomplished shodo artists is Japanese calligrapher Masako Inkyo. She will make a special appearance at Middlebury College, March 6-7, and demonstrate this rich charcoal ink-based artform.

Inkyo’s presentation at Middlebury is titled “The Tale of Genji: Japanese Calligraphy Demonstration and Workshop”, and will be held on campus at the Mahaney Arts Center.

“The Tale of Genji” was written by Murasaki Shikibu, a court woman in tenth-century Japan, and is widely recognized as the world’s first novel. The narrative portrays the fictional hero Genji, an emperor’s son barred from the throne, who rises to wealth and power in ancient Kyoto. The art of calligraphy is an important practice among the many characters in the tale and is understood to reveal personality and sensibility.

According to Inkyo, shodo is an art form using a brush and CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Grant opens Wonderfeet to low-income residents

RUTLAND — The new and improved Wonderfeet KidsÕ Museum, set to reopen this month on Center Street in downtown Rutland, will be accessible to low-income families thanks to a grant from Green Mountain Power.

“We are thrilled to be able to support Wonderfeet and help open its doors to families who otherwise might not be able to enjoy all it has

s .. i Th ek. e W

to offer,Ó GMP President and CEO Mary Powell said. “We see this as an extension of our support of RutlandÕ s Project VISION, which is focused on building community ties and improving quality of life in Rutland.Ó The $20,000 grant, originally provided two years ago and intended for study of future growth at Wonderfeet, was freed up for its new

purposes when consultants helped develop a business plan at no cost to the non-profit museum.

“We focused with GMP on how to make the museum accessible to all,” Wonderfeet Executive Director Myra Peffer said. “Wonderfeet’s focus is on family learning Ð teaching children through hands-on experiences while helping parents and caregivers learn how to help their children develop. This funding will allow us to make that opportunity available to at-risk families in local communities.Ó A quarter of the grant will be used to help underwrite exhibit development, with the remainder funding museum after-school programs, in association with the Rutland BoysÕ and GirlsÕ Club, and family memberships for at-risk families. Wonderfeet, focused on children from birth to age 8, was born out of the Rutland Creative Economy, which identified a children’s museum as one of the most important new initiatives for the community.

From the Editor

A mess at the DMV? S

ince the fall of 2014, the Vermont Eagle has welcomed Vermont Watchdog. org to our pages for bringing investigative, statewide news of impact to our local readers. Reporter Bruce Parker, based in Montpelier, has been doing a Herculean task--plus taking a lot of flak from certain political operatives and several state legislators--in exposing what amounts to disturbing “business-as-usual” in the state capital.

A recent investigative report written by Parker is a case in point; titled “Vermont DMV backpedals on fraudulent license applications by illegals,” Parker’s Watchdog Report didn’t shy away from reporting an investigation about fraudulent Vermont driver’s license applications filed by out-of-state illegal immigrants.

A few weeks ago, according to Parker’s Jan. 30 report, Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles Commissioner Robert Ide told the House Transportation Committee that more than 140 fraudulent applications for Vermont’s new driver’s privilege cards got his attention.

All well and good, but just after the news was made public, the person heading up the investigation started down playing it all, saying some (perhaps many) of the suspicious applications were probably legitimate after all. Really? Why the sudden flip flop? Who’s behind the change of narrative?

Just last month, the DMV in Bennington spotted a run on applications for the new (since 2013) driver’s privilege cards; many, as reported, showed false proofsof-residency.

“Officials say,” according to Parker, “(that) applicants who provided two pieces of mail indicating their physical Vermont addresses falsified the address information on the envelopes -- including return address information in the top left corner.”

In addition, numerous applications used the same addresses. Now, as Parker reported, “Murky details provided by the DMV are raising fresh questions about the scope of the investigating and possible fraud.” Parker added that, Brendan O’Neill, coordinator of the advocacy group Migrant Justice, told him that migrants in his organization are complaining about being investigated at the DMV offices in Bennington, Dummerston, and Rutland. Could rumblings by Migrant Justice (and perhaps other similar groups) be why the DMV is suddenly changing its tune?

Parker reported that some out-of-state immigrants paid $2,000 a piece, at least in New York City, to get the new Vermont driver card. DMV has yet to confirm or deny this bit of news. (Just curious: We wonder how many legal Vermont residents are still waiting to receive a driver’s card?)

Statements made last week by Vermont Rep. Patrick Brennan (Colchester) received considerable attention. Brennan is the chairman of the House Committee on Transportation and has shown unexpected courage by pointing out that the DMV’s first reported run on of fraudulent applications can be traced to Montpelier’s practice of giving driving privileges to illegal immigrants.

“I’m not surprised,” Brennan was quoted in Parker’s Jan. 30 report. “...My No. 1 concern was that we are enabling people who are here illegally to legally drive.”

You may recall that Gov. Peter Shumlin signed the 2013 bill which now allows “undocumented” (aka illegal) workers to legally obtain driver privileges--only in politically topsy turvy Vermont are such things possible.

Meanwhile, the looming mess at the Vermont DMV looks like the tip of the proverbial iceberg: it tells us that when politicians support unsecured borders they cost Americans money, good-paying jobs, while weakening our homeland security efforts at a time when we all need to be more internationally vigilant.

The truth, the noise and the not so true

W

e’ve all heard the story about the one that got away. Each time we hear it, the story gets more elaborate while the prey gets bigger, faster and even more elusive.

To some degree we are all guilty of a little embellishment, but at what point is it casual lore versus the stuff we build our lives around. Several stories recently came to light that speak to the concerns many have regarding the degree of factual information, we are provided from presumed reliable sources. At what point do we say enough is enough?

First, the chairman of Gallup, the research and polling firm claims the country’s official unemployment rate is really an underestimation and is nothing more than a “big lie” perpetuated by the White House, Wall Street and the media. James Clifton, Gallup CEO revealed in a recent blog that the Labor Department arrives at the monthly unemployment rate in a manner not reflective of what is really taking place in the job market. How can a system be a reliable measurement when it does not consider Americans who have quit looking for work after four weeks to not be included in the survey?

The department’s current rate of 5.6 percent unemployment is, by their calculations, the lowest since June 2008. President Obama told us, in his State of the Union address and in campaign-style stops across the country, that we are in the midst of a strong economic recovery and that we are creating jobs at the fastest pace since 1999.

Clifton says the “cheer leading” for the 5.6 number is “deafening.” He goes on to say that, “The media loves a comeback story. The White House wants to score political points, and Wall Street would like you to stay in the market.Ó Since the start of the Great Recession, which economists largely agree began in late 2007, the unemployment rate peaked at 10 percent in October 2009 and finally got under 6 percent in September 2014.

Clifton says Americans out of work for at least four weeks are “as unemployed as one can possibly be” and he contends that as many as 30 million of them are now either out of work or severely underemployed.

He points out that an out-of-work engineer, for example, performing a minimum of one hour of work a week for $20, also is not officially counted as unemployed. In addition, those working part time but wanting full-time work are also are not counted. Ò ThereÕ s no other way to say this,Ó Clifton says.

“The official unemployment rate … amounts to a big lie.” His arguments echo those made by White House opponents. Gallup is an 80-year-old, nonpartisan firm, known for its national polling.

Clifton concludes, “When the media, talking heads, the White House and Wall Street start reporting the truth -- the percent of Americans in good jobs; jobs that are full time and real -- then we will quit wondering why Americans arenÕ t Ô feelingÕ something that doesn’t remotely reflect the reality in their lives. We will also quit wondering what hollowed out the middle class.Ó We’ve all gotten so desensitized by the noise that the non-truth and spinning of the truth is now accepted as the norm. NBC’s Brian Williams seems to have met his Waterloo with his war correspondent tale that he has continued expand, growing more harrowing over the years. Last week the calls for his honesty finally reached the point that he chose to take leave of his anchor position on the Nightly News while he seeks a way to restore his once good reputation.

Unfortunately, these are not isolated cases. Far too many are getting caught with their hands in the cookie jar, so to speak. Honesty and accountability can only be based in truth.

Let’s hope this is the beginning of a new trend where Americans wakes up to what they are willing to accept as truth. There is no substitute for the truth regardless of politics, party or social correctness. We all learned as children that sooner or later lies and deception come home to roost and that truth is always the best policy. We must rebuke information that does not add up and demand a new level of honesty in government, media and among ourselves. The truth never needs to be shaped!

Police Beat Route 22A closed after accident

BRIDPORT — On Feb. 2, at approximately 10:26 a.m., the Vermont State Police responded to a report of a commercial motor vehicle off the road on Route 22A in Bridport. The operator of the vehicle, Noberto Navarro, 50, of New Jersey, was transported to Porter Hospital for minor injuries. Upon arrival the vehicle was located in the ditch on the eastern portion of the roadway. After a short investigation, it was determined the operator was travelling too fast for the conditions of the roadway. Route 22A was shut down for a short period of time in order to remove the vehicle safely.

Blizzard blamed for accident

NEW HAVEN — On Feb. 2, Vermont State Police responded to a two-vehicle collision on Route 7 in New Haven.

A VSP investigation suggested that Ryan Langeway, 23, of Whiting, was attempting to stop to allow a vehicle in front of him to take a left hand turn when he lost control of his vehicle, was unable to stop and slid into the vehicle in front of him. Jacqueline Hunt, 28, of Middlebury was stationary when her vehicle was rear-ended by Ryan’s vehicle. Middlebury Rescue transported Hunt to Porter Hospital due to an aggravation of a previous back injury, she was later released.

VSP at New Haven said that New Haven Fire, Middlebury Rescue and Green Mountain Towing assisted at the scene of the accident.

Trucks collide in Rutland Town

RUTLAND TOWN — On Jan. 27, at approximately 11:33 a.m., members of the Vermont State Police, Rutland Town Fire Department, and Vermont DMV Enforcement Division responded to a reported two-vehicle accident with no injuries on snow-covered U.S. Route 7 at the intersection of Pinnacle Ridge Road in Rutland Town.

Richard Gecha, 51, of Florence, who was operating a Gecha Fuel truck, told a trooper that he was traveling south on US Route 7, when he noticed traffic slowed down just south of Pinnacle Ridge Road.

Harrie Demers, 49, of Brandon, was also traveling southbound on Route 7 behind Gecha. Gecha said he slowed his pickup truck down, due to slow moving traffic in front of him, when Demers’ vehicle struck him from behind. Both operators advised they were wearing seatbelts and had no injuries. Demers’s truck was towed by Turk’s Towing Service.

Orchard robbed

ORWELL — Vermont State Police responded to a Jan. 28 report of a burglary in progress at an apple orchard located on Sanford Road in Orwell. Workers reported that they encountered two males who had started to pile up goods both outside and inside of the apple warehouse.

Two males took off on foot once the workers confronted them and ordered them to stop. State Police responded and a K9 (dog) track was started in an attempt to locate the two males.

Advocate charged with lewd conduct

RUTLAND — On Oct. 6, 2014, the Vermont State Police were notified by the Vermont Department of Children and Family Services (DCF) of their concern of inappropriate sexual conduct between Jon R. Gilbert, 48, of Rutland and a 13-year-old female student.

At the time of the offense, Gilbert was employed with the Vermont Achievement Center, as a therapeutic advocate in the autistic program, and is currently employed with Rutland City Public Schools’ Allen Street Campus.

Through the investigation it was learned Gilbert sexually abused the 13-year-old student while on a summer school trip and had conversations that were sexual in nature through Facebook.

Gilbert was taken into custody and issued a citation to appear in Rutland Superior Court on Feb. 16, to answer the charge of for lewd and lascivious conduct with a child.

The Rutland Unit for Special Investigations is a multi-disciplinary team that investigates, prosecutes and serves victims of sex crimes and child victims of severe physical abuse throughout Rutland County.

Clarification

In the Eagle’s Jan. 24, 2015, story, “Artifacts are the State’s Oldest ToolsÓ , which recounts an archaeological dig at Jamaica State Park, we wish to clarify that the State of VermontÕ s Phase 3 archaeological dig in the park was part of a carefully planned and executed project in an area with known high archaeological sensitivity; this is standard procedure for the State of Vermont.

“We always carefully assess sites for archeological sensitivity well prior to initiating any construction work to avoid any ‘accidental’ findings. (Lou Varricchio’s) article indicates that the discovery happened after the construction started, which is definitely not the case,” according to Rochelle Skinner, parks sales & service manager.

Letters to the Editor

Police power

To the editor: We write in response to the Hardwick, Vt., Police Department (HPD). In a time when national attention is focused on abuse of power and civil rights by law enforcement authority, greater oversight and accountability is needed within our local and state police departments.

During 2008-09, several instances of criminal activity were perpetrated against us, our Greensboro property and our Highland cattle.

As instructed, we reported all incidents to the HPD; known witnesses and perpetrators were identified for the officers. After reporting the criminal acts, we did not hear back from HPD officers, none of the known perpetrators were charged, and in the case of stolen items none returned, despite the often easy solvability.

Considering the lack of results at the time, we wondered whether the HPD had actually investigated our complaints.

Since then, to our dismay, we discovered there were indeed no official investigations. Not one of the crimes we reported to HPD were included in the 2008-2009 Gazette Police Reports, which published all reports of police activity submitted by the HPD from the previous week. Current Police Reports in the Gazette state the report is not a comprehensive list of police activity; this was not the case in 2008-9.

More telling, former Chief Joe LaPorte testified he specifically instructed his officers not to investigate some complaints made by us to the HPD. HPD Officers testified under oath they spoke to witnesses and perpetrators as part of their so-called investigation; each of the purported witnesses have sworn in deposition or affidavit no HPD officer ever contacted them--evidence of the falsity of HPD’s purported investigation. HPD Incident Reports given to us by HPD were, in anticipation of litigation in 2012, fabricated and altered to portray HPD investigative activity that, in fact, never took place.

Incredibly, HPD has denied we were treated differently from any other Hardwick and Greensboro resident—HPD has asserted that we received equal protection. Is this how you would like to be treated by Hardwick Police? ...We remain fearful of the Hardwick Police Department. However, like people throughout the United States, we know the way to effect change and protect other’s safety is through better train-

ing and accountability, and by speaking out to shine light into the darkness.

Vermont home to solar

To the editor: On Aug. 16, 2013, at 6:30 p.m. I was in Jackson, Wyo., nervously awaiting a call from a potential employer, a solar energy company back in Vermont. After leaving Vermont for job opportunities out west, I knew the solar position was my chance to get back to a place I loved: Addison County. This was the job I wanted, in the place I wanted to be.

I first moved to Vermont full-time as a Middlebury College student in 2008. I had spent summers as a boy going to Camp Keewaydin in Salisbury and was excited to leave my flat and boring Connecticut homeland for life in the mountains. After graduating, it was disappointing to leave Vermont, and so I was enormously grateful that when the call came that August evening, it was good news.

Vermont solar companies like All Earth Renewables, GroSolar, and SunCommon are growing. VermontÕ s young professionals can move into their newly created positions without having to wait for someone else to retire. The vibrancy and innovation of this industry is attractive. Plus, SunCommon and AllEarth Renewables were just listed by Vermont Business Magazine as two of the state’s best companies to work for.

IÕ m not the only new college graduate who wants to stay in Vermont; we just need opportunities to keep us here. As Gov. Shumlin said in his recent inaugural address, the solar and renewables industries are providing a place for us. Next time you see a solar array, remember there is a community behind that array. Not only are those arrays powering our friends and neighbors, they’re fueling a new clean energy economy. There are over 15,000 people working in clean tech in Vermont, and I’m happy to be one of them.

Governor praised for solar energy

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin was sworn in Jan. 8 for a third term and used his inaugural address, among other things, to outline an ambitious plan to increase the use of solar energy and other renewables across the state.

Following his remarks, Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association said, “During his administration solar prices in Vermont have dropped by more than 60 percent, while his latest plan, an ambitious Energy Innovation Program, is likely to serve as a model for other states to follow. We congratulate Gov. Shumlin for laying out an agenda for a clean energy economy which focuses on jobs, affordability,

renewable energy and quality of life for all Vermonters...Ó There are nearly 60 solar companies at work throughout the value chain in Vermont, employing more than 1,300 people.

In 2013, $47 million was invested in Vermont to install solar for home, business and utility use.

In 2014, Vermont installed nearly double the amount of solar as in the same period the previous year.

The 53 MW of solar energy currently installed in Vermont ranks the state 25th in the country in installed solar capacity and is enough to power nearly 10,000 Vermont homes.

A

lley is a beautiful long haired tricolor tiger who loves attention. At 15 years old, she is one of our oldest cats at the shelter and has been here for over 3 years.

She came to Homeward Bound on July 7th, 2011 after being surrendered by her owner. Their family was going through major life changes and unfortunately could not financially afford Alley.

Since being at the shelter for so long, the staff and volunteers have come to really know and love Alley. She does well with other cats; she doesnÕ t seem to pay much attention to them, just minds her business and peacefully coexists with them. Her previous owner said that she does not get along well with dogs and would do best without any canine friends in her new home.

Alley would also do best with children 10 years or older. She loves being pet and getting attention, but if she has had enough and would

like to be left alone she will give a little love bite to let you know. She also sometimes does this playfully; she may be 15 but still has some pep in her step.

Some of Alley’s favorite things are canned wet food, brooms, and soft, fluffy cat beds!

Come visit this wonderful girl today. She is one of a kind and would love to find a nice, loving home to retire in.

Trooper leaps, avoids crash A Vermont State Police trooper was forced to jump over the guard rails of a highway last week to avoid a tractor-trailer that jackknifed and slid in this direction.

VSP Trooper Darryl Cremo responded to a call for a car that slid off of Interstate 89 near Montpelier around 10:20 a.m. before the incident occurred.

Having assisted the driver and set up flares to direct motorists, the trooper walked back to his unmarked cruiser, which had its emergency lights flashing and was parked on the shoulder of the highway.

“As I walked back to my cruiser, I saw the (tractor trailer) going at a pretty good speed, too fast for conditions, and then it jackknifed,Ó he told news reporters.

Cremo jumped the guard rail and tumbled down the hill to safety just as he heard the truck collided into his cruiser and two other vehicles.

The driver of the truck, Edward Dones, was taken to Central Vermont Medical Center with back pain.

Cremo’s cruiser was totaled, but he was uninjured.

Vermont State Police is currently investigating the crash.

Why we’re addicted to falling in love

By Dr. Rebekah Thomas

RUTLAND — “Romantic love” is the phrase humans use to describe feelings and emotions associated with a person to whom one feels both attracted to and passionate about. In some, it is associated with a racing heart, a sick stomach, a feeling of ecstasy, or that the other person can do no wrong.

Is there a biological basis for this? The answer to that is both yes and no.

Recently, scientists have discovered that for about 12 to 18 months, the brain of a person in love has reduced serotonin levels and serotonin receptors.

Reduced serotonin and serotonin receptors Dr. Rebekah Thomas is also often associated with obsessive-compulsive disorder. The bottom (CSJ photo) line is that romantic love is stressful and can be likened to a compulsive/ addictive or obsessive disorder … Interesting!

Something else recent research has shown is that when a person is in “love,” some parts of the brain are activated, while some parts show reduced activity. Increased activity occurs in parts of the dopamine reward system of the brain, most of which are activated in parental love. The hypothalamus shows increased activity in romantic love, but not in parental love, suggesting a sexual/ physical attraction component for that part of the brain. Areas of the brain showing reduced activity include parts involved in analysis and judgment, the ability to predict ultimate outcomes of actions and events, the ability to delay gratification, and the ability to learn from our mistakes.

Biologically, romantic love seems to increase stress, produce addictive or obsessive types of behaviors, and diminishes our ability to avoid negative circumstances and to logically reason through the long-term consequences of our actions. However, research indicates that this, at least in part, is only temporary and that within 12 to 18 months, this will fade. What happens next is guess work from a scientific point of view.

Vt. gun dealer caught up in anti-gun crossfire

By Bruce Parker

Vermont Watchdog MONTPELIER —The attorney for a Vermont gun shop owner says Everytown for Gun Safety damaged her client’s reputation after a report published by the national gun control group wrongly included his business as an example of an unlicensed dealer who sells guns to criminals.

“In the age of (the) Internet, a taint on oneÕ s reputation really never goes away no matter how many disclaimers are posted, especially when the disclaimer is generic and fails to reference specifically where the Former New York City Mayor Michael errors occurred, who Bloomberg’s Everytown for Gun Safety was impacted and faces a possible defamation lawsuit after how many were im- its January report on Vermont gun sales wrongly cast aspersions on a licensed firepacted,Ó Rachel Baird, arms dealer who complies with federal attorney for Bobby background checks for all gun transactions.

Richards and Crossfire Photo by Bruce Parker Arms LLC, told Vermont Watchdog.

On Jan. 27, Richards learned through a Facebook post that his business logo and firearms merchandise were shown in Ò Hiding in Plain Sight,” a 16-page report that claimed private, unlicensed sales over the Internet were putting weapons in the hands of criminals due to a “loophole” in the background check system.

Baird met with Richards two days later at his Mount Holly, Vermont, home to discuss a legal defense against Everytown, a gun-control coalition started by billionaire former New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg.

A Crossfire Arms media release dated Friday states the gun dealer is licensed and follows all federal and state laws. The dealer Òc ompletes all transactions in person and performs a background check for every transaction involving a firearm,” the release states.

Everytown issued a correction, saying its report “inadvertently included 49 ads posted by licensed dealers in Vermont.Ó Baird said the positive outpouring of support for her client as been “overwhelming,” but she added Richards’ legal task “is overwhelming as well.”

“We do not minimize the avalanche of resources that Everytown and Bloomberg will use to wear Bobby and his legal team down,Ó s he said.

Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund is listed as a foreign not-for-profit corporation in the state of New York. The group’s activity in Vermont has become highly visible in recent weeks through the release of its Vermont report, as well as through a national online drive to recruit supporters of background check legislation in Vermont.

Last April, Bloomberg pledged $50 million to enact gun control laws in states. In the 2014 campaign, the former mayor was the No.2 big-money influencer in the nation, spending more than $23 million to influence election outcomes.

By contrast, Charles and David Koch tied for the No. 24 slot, each donating $2 million.

Everytown’s claims that Vermont has gun problems comes as Vermonters are celebrating the stateÕ s designation as Òs afest in the nation.Ó According to FBI crime statistics, Vermont averages 115 violent crimes per every 100,000 residents. In ad-

dition, Vermont averages two gun-related homicides occur each year. Pro-gun advocates say the state’s top safety record is owed to its high per-capita gun ownership and unrestricted Second Amendment gun rights. VermontÕ s constitution says Òt he people have a right to bear arms for the defense of themselves and the State.Ó At stake in the controversy is a background check bill introduced by state Sen. John Campbell, Vermont’s Senate president pro tempore. The gun control legislation would require all Vermonters to undergo state-based criminal background checks prior to purchasing a firearm.

Baird said her Òf ocus is primarily on the torts of slander and defamation, including placing Bobby and Crossfire Arms in a false light.Ó “In Connecticut we have seen what happens when elected officials are swayed by organizations with vast resources and an agenda. Lies and misrepresentations advanced by organizations such as Everytown and billionaires

like Michael Bloomberg are not questioned but are accepted as a means to justify new laws that take away individual rights. Few question a billionaire,” Baird said.

Ò Traditionally Shodo demands adherence to strict and rigid rules of dimension, proportion, stroke order, and even brush angles and pressures, which leave little room for the artist’s personal expression,” Inkyo notes on her website. “In order to accommodate this, various contemporary styles of Shodo have developed over time. The art displayed in this exhibition includes samples from both the traditional as well as the contemporary styles. When expressing herself, the artist is most inspired by nature, not necessarily objects and images, but rather feelings and moods. The themes of peacefulness and harmony often serve as the basis, if not the backdrop, to the scene.”

Like many artists, Inkyo’s passion for her medium began at a tender age; she began calligraphy at age three in Japan.

According to her biography, this expressive artist and educator received a degree in calligraphy at Yasuda University. Being a member of one of Japan’s largest, elite shodo professional associations, she has attained the highest honors in the revered profession. In addition to commissioned and other kinds of work, Inkyo now teaches shodo at the Japan Society and the Keio Academy of New York.

Inkyo’s visit to Middlebury will include a hands-on workshop in which participants will learn basic calligraphy strokes and Japanese characters.

According to the college’s Melissa Thompson, all art supplies will be provided to guests. Thompson also mentioned that Inkyo will be joined by Professors Sarah Laursen and Carole Cavanaugh for this special demonstration and talk.

The main event (demonstration and workshop) will be held on Friday, March 6, on the lower lobby in Mahaney Arts Center, according to Masa Takahashi of the Japanese Studies Department. The demonstration starts at 4:30 p.m. on Friday and a workshop will be held until 7:30 p.m. in MCA 126.

Takahashi advised the Eagle that there will be another workshop on Saturday, March 7, in Ross Seminar Room B11.

“Although the workshop on Saturday is open to the public,” Takahashi noted, “the content is geared for those with more experience in calligraphy.Ó This event is being sponsored by Middlebury’s Japanese Studies Department, History of Art and Architecture Department, Middlebury College Museum of Art, Japanese Club, and Calligraphy Club.

Legislative report Covering Benson, Orwell, Shoreham & Whiting

Much of the last two weeks were spent in my committee where we worked on the H.35 as introduced which is a bill that proposes to adopt multiple provisions related to the remediation and preservation of the waters of Vermont. I quickly realized this bill would be of interest to those involved in our farming community when I read page 63 of the bill which recommends a new fee of $50.00 per ton of fertilizer purchased. Currently the fee is .25 cents. I started to communicate with farmers of different sizes to see how this would impact their operations.

I quickly concluded that this didnÕ t seem like a fair proposal. An organic farmer I spoke with doesnÕ t purchase fertilizer; rather he uses chicken manure from out of state. Another farmer with a large dairy operation said this would be an added $17,000.00 annually based on their historical fertilizer purchases!

Meanwhile, I continued to be in awe of the range of testimony we heard during the last two weeks. We heard from many farmers that are members of the Champlain Valley Farmers Coalition, Farmers Watershed Alliance and also the Friends of Lake Champlain.

All farmers we heard testimony from support clean water efforts and want to move forward in a positive manner. However, they didn’t like the idea of the fertilizer tax. The chair of Agriculture & Forestry Products Committee asked each of them to give us an alternative. We are awaiting their proposals as we continue to brain storm.

Both David Mears, commissioner of the Department of Environmental Conservation, and Chuck

www.addision-eagle.com Ross, Secretary of Agriculture, have visited our committee numerous times. IÕ m assuming weÕ ll see a lot of them during this session since water quality is a hot topic under the Golden Dome. We’ve also heard testimony from many agencies that have been testing our waters in Vermont. I’m truly being educated on water quality! My committee will be in possession of the bill in two weeks. Stay tuned…don’t hesitate to e-mail me should you wish for a copy of H.35 as introduced and IÕ ll scan and e-mail you a copy to read.

Multi-vehicle accident under investigation CHARLOTTE — On Jan. 20, at approximately 6 p.m., troopers from the Vermont State Police responded to a three vehicle collision on U.S. Route 7 at the intersection with Church Hill Road in Charlotte. While in route, troopers were advised of a second crash, involving two vehicles north of the initially reported crash scene.

Once on scene, troopers determined that vehicle 1, driven by Malcom Francis, of North Ferrisburgh, and vehicle 2 driven by Robert L. Danyow of Charlotte were traveling southbound on Route 7.

Upon approaching the intersection with Church Hill Road, Danyow, in the lead vehicle, slowed and eventually came to a stop in an effort to let northbound traffic, a tractor-trailer rig, vehicle 3, driven by Drew A Nutting of New Hampshire, pass before making a left turn.

Vehicle 1 rear-ended vehicle 2 and then veered off the western side of the road. Vehicle 2 was then propelled into the path of vehicle 3 (in the northbound passing lane).

Vehicle 3’s truck-trailer tires collided with the front end of vehicle 2 causing vehicle 2 to spin back into the southbound lane of travel where it came to rest. Vehicle 3 came to a stop just north of the collision scene.

Occupants from vehicles 1 and 2 were subsequently transported to the University of Vermont Medical Center for injuries resulting from the crash. Troopers were later advised that all occupants were released from the hospital and that the most serious injury was to operator 1, with a broken collar bone. Operator 3 was uninjured during this crash and released from the scene.

Due to the heavy traffic volume in this area, traffic immediately began backing up in both directions. This delay caused a secondary crash, where vehicle 4 driven by Timothy Place of Milton, rear-ended vehicle 5, driven by jesse larson of Danby, approximately three-quarters of a mile north of the initial crash. Both operators in this crash were uninjured and released at the scene.

Traffic was rerouted around the crash scene with further assistance from the Shelburne and Charlotte Fire Departments. and Rescue. This allowed investigators and emergency responders to expedite the investigation and clean-up process as the debris field was spread out over the course of a tenth of a mile. North and southbound traffic in this area was restored to normal flow approx. an hour and a half later.

Both crashes are still under investigation, however no criminal violations appear to be evident.

Graham

From page 1 on each exploitation charge and up to 5 years and a $25,000 penalty for the restraint charge.

Graham, who has an attorney, remained silent during the court proceedings.

CVU has placed Graham on administrative leave. The Chittenden South Supervisory Union, which includes CVU in its schools, released a brief statement on the day Graham was arrested.”Because this is an ongoing investigation and a personnel matter, no further information will be shared at this time.” CVU officials apparently became aware of the alleged relationship when students informed a guidance counselor at the school. Also, last week the Department of Children and Families as well as the Chittenden Unit for Special Investigations became part of the investigation.

According to information released during court proceedings, Graham and the student had three sexual meetings; one at the teen’s home; another at Mount Philo Park and one aboard a boat.

Vermont Superior Court Judge Michael Kupersmith released Graham, but issued several conditions, including she not go near or onto CVU property; she must not have contact with the alleged victim and must not come into contact with anyone under the age of 18, unless he or she is a relative or by chance in public.

Graham is slated to be back in court March 13. According to her Linkedin profile, Graham also worked at Mount Mansfield High School and was educated at Rice Memorial High School and Endicott College in Massacusetts. Her profile appeared to be deleted earlier this week..

A pathway to economic renewal for Vermonters

By Bruce Lisman

I

believe that economic growth and shared prosperity is the best way forward for Vermonters. A dynamic and broadbased economy offers a cure for issues of poverty, hunger, and upward mobility. It can provide the resources to protect and enhance our environment and improve our infrastructure. Vermont can be an economic powerhouse of its own definition.

VermontÕ s economy is stagnant. The demographics of our state are broadly known and are negative. Those demographics have already impacted our public education system, our state college system, our work force, and the half of our counties experiencing population declines. It isnÕ t pretty and can get worse unless we do things differently.

History doesn’t have to be a guide to the future and in America, solutions often come on the heels of creativity and innovation. That isn’t usually a government’s domain, but it sure can work hard to create conditions that encourage innovation and growth.

Campaign for Vermont issued a strategic plan that offers essential building blocks for a renewed economy. It’s comprehensive and takes the long view and requires hard work and humansized solutions for human-sized problems. This would include:

A competent, transparent, and accountable government—one that is in a continual state of improvement.

A strategic plan that highlights goals and steps to reach those goals with an accompanying strategic budget that would define the cost of achieving those goals.

Budget growth that more closely relates to available resources, making policy decisions more predictable.

Reform of our education system—of quality, governance, and funding.

The inclusion of affordability as an essential theme in State governance.

With a “platform for growth” in place, there is significantly greater leverage for economic renewal strategies, which would include:.

Building a broad-based and lasting coalition in support of a more dynamic economy and shared prosperity Bringing coherence, efficiency, simplicity, and funding for economic development agencies.

Building a calling effort on our largest employers that will illuminate their needs and wants while building strong relationships.

Reimagining the importance of our considerable number of

small businesses, and create a better understanding of who they are and how we can truly help them.

Training, improving, and enlarging our workforce - it’s the true lynchpin of shared prosperity.

Broadening the definition of manufacturing, provide a broader array of support for those that make things here, and become the state of “efficient manufacturing.”

Expanding the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and eliminating the benefit cliffs, and thereby providing true economic resources for working class Vermonters – President’s Obama and Reagan have endorsed this program’s value.

Re-defining the value of our extensive higher education industry and focus on retaining the 43,000 students who annually attend our colleges.

Better connecting the links between ideas to patents and patents to revenue and revenue to jobs.

Vermont can do better. Vermonters deserve better. Vermont will do better if we coalesce around the need for economic renewal and share prosperity.

Bruce Lisman EditorÕ s Note: Bruce Lisman is a resident of Shelburne and is the founder of Campaign for Vermont.

In a cost-benefit exercise, for example, the report guesstimates that users in Vermont spend $125 million to $225 million per year on marijuana (citing a 2012 drug use study). The equation goes like this: 20 tons of marijuana consumed each year X four hours of intoxication per gram = 80 million hours of intoxication per year. The report goes on: Ò If legalization increases intoxication by 50 percent...those [extra] 40 million hours could figure prominently in a benefit-cost analysis...The intoxicating punch of THC gives it value in the consumer market.”

Today’s high-octane drug experience and unheard-of profits mesh perfectly. This and other examples clearly imply that failure to legalize would result in a major loss of revenue to a cashstrapped state.

Another analysis describes how legal marijuana might offset alcohol and tobacco consumption, thus saving on the “public health” side of the ledger. The authors reason that there could be a “net win from a public-health perspective” if drinkers switched to marijuana.

Regarding highway safety, while the authors admit that driving stoned “more than doubles the risk of a car crash,” they then

assert that Ò ...that does not necessarily mean that legalization will lead to a net reduction in traffic safety.” Highway fatality statistics and experience on the ground show otherwise, as Colorado and Washington State attest.

In 2014, “driving high” accounted for 23 percent of fatal crashes in Vermont—44 fatalities resulting from 42 fatal crashes, caused by 10 drivers suspected of using marijuana alone or in combination with alcohol or other drugs.

Fatal crashes are expensive. The 70 highway deaths in 2010 in Vermont cost Vermonters $613 million, and lost wages that year have been calculated at $79,216,000. Costs not covered by insurance are passed on to the rest of the pool of insured or picked up by taxpayers.

While the Rand report computes the potential influx of revenue from excise taxes on marijuana, it omits discussion of the real-life costs to friends, families and taxpayers, not to mention impaired quality of life.

Marijuana legalization may be one of the most thorny, divisive, costly—and sad—issues this state has ever faced.

Rand report begs the question on legalizing marijuana

By Julia Purdy

What if Vermont legalized fun-time marijuana? The 196-page report from the Rand Corporation, commissioned by Gov. Peter Shumlin, addresses that question in mind-boggling detail, but with no guarantees and many caveats that are beyond Vermont’s control. The report can be accessed at www.rand.org.

Headlines have hailed the whopping figure of $75 million in tax revenues. Here is what the report actually says: “If Vermont legalized marijuana in a way that eliminated the black market and no other nearby state followed suit, then Vermont might, in theory, be able to generate $20 million to $75 million in tax revenues annually on sales to Vermont residents.Ó So while the Rand report makes no promises, the issue of a government profiting from non-prescription drug use is never called into question.

The report does makes many economic calculations, however.

In each case the calculation circles back to justify the underlying assumption that legalizing marijuana is a desirable solution to the state’s budget woes, with little or no discussion of the substantial, if not unsustainable, societal costs that always surround drug use.
