Scott: All schools must close by March 18 Middlebury College on early spring break By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | The growing worldwide panic over the Chinese caronovirus hit Vermont on multiple fronts last week. And in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Gov. Phil Scott (R) has announced a Continuity of Education Plan for the orderly dismissal of all schools, and cancellation of all school related activities, no later than Wednesday, March 18. Scott’s directive will last through April 6, but may very well be extended for a longer period.
Last week, the first reported case of the virus was reported in Bennington and Middlebury College officials closed the campus giving students an early spring break. Instead of classroom learning, Middlebury students will attend classes via distance learning methods, at least until the end of the current semester. As first reported by Guy Page of the Vermont Daily Chronicle, “the University of Vermont Emergency Management office released its second statement encouraging faculty and staff to ‘begin planning for a potential shift to remote instruction.’’ The statement said the UVM Center for Teaching and Learning offers a ‘teaching continuity website,’ remote learning website direction and instruction, and hours of operation during the spring break.” See SCHOOLS » pg. 2
MIDDLEBURY | To support the ongoing work of the Vermont Department of Health and expand the capacity of state government to coordinate the COVID-19 response, Gov. Phil Scott (R) last week ordered additional state agencies and departments to activate through the Vermont State Emergency Operations Center (SEOC). The SEOC began regular daily operations on March 11 with a multi-disciplinary team of state agency and department representatives currently assigned. The SEOC works closely with the Health Department’s Health Operations Center to ensure preparedness for the potential of widespread
transmission of COVID-19 as well as the implementation of community mitigation measures as they become necessary. “While COVID-19 is not widespread in Vermont and the risk to the general population remains low, we can slow its spread by following the Health Department’s guidance,” said Scott. “With an increasing number of Vermonters being monitored, the first positive test and the likelihood that there will be more cases, ensuring enhanced coordination and information sharing is critical. This step positions the state to scale its response as COVID-19 becomes more prevalent at the community level.” The SEOC opens ahead of, and during, potential and likely emergencies to support prevention, response and recovery efforts. The last major incident managed from the SEOC was the flooding event of Oct. 31 and Nov. 1, 2019.

Virus scare aside, Addison among healthiest counties adults that are current smokers, the percentage of adults that are obese and the percentage of adults that report binge or heavy drinking. We indexed each of these data points on a scale of 0 to 100, took a weighted average, then indexed the final number to generate the health behaviors index,” she added. Next, Smart Asset considered access to healthcare as a secondary measure of how healthy each county is. Finally, Annunziato noted
that the website used a “weighted average” of the three indices above to yield an overall healthiest place score for Addison County. “We used a 50% weighting for length of life, a 30% weighting for health behaviors and a 20% weighting for healthcare access. We indexed the fi nal number so higher values reflect the healthiest places,” according to Annunziato. Addison County ranked in second place following first-place Chittenden County:
YPLL Rate*: 3,725 Adult smokers: 13.3% Adult obesity: 24.2% Excessive drinking: 20.7% PCP Rate**: 108 Uninsured rate: 4.6% Healthiest places: 90.48 *Years of Potential Life Lost before the age of 75 per 100,000 residents. **Primary Care Physicians per 100,000 residents. ■

three factors: length of life, health behaviors and healthcare access. “The first factor we considered was the premature death rate in a county, specifically the years of potential life lost before age 75 per 100,000 residents. This number shows the rate at which people die before the age of 75. Places w ith the lowest rates of premature death generated the highest length of life index values,” according to Smart Asset spokesperson Alyssa Annunziato. “We created a health behaviors index for each county.

BEAR | Bear came to us as an owner surrender after he was adopted into a family situation that picked him for his adorably handsome appearance, but with no understanding of his breed. Bear is a Great Pyrenees. For those interested in Bear, we are requiring you know or have read about the ins and outs of this amazing breed. Bear is absolutely the best. He is not only fluff y and sweet, but he is playful, happy and engaged. At one and half years-old, he missed training in his early years as a “working” dog, but still naturally displays a lot of the traits and tendencies. Bear is command trained, alert and in-tune. He demonstrates astute awareness of the humans’ emotions around him. He is stubborn, but smart as can be. He can be territorial, which is his nature, so he really needs a family that fully understands what that means and how to keep that behavior in-check. Bear will do best in a home with lots of space to run and play. He gets along with other dogs and wants buddies to romp around with! We don’t think he shows safe behavior around cats, he gets very excited and we can’t predict how he’d be off-leash, face to face with a kitty. He needs calm, kind and confident owners, but loves all people and attention. He is used to sleeping with his humans and being free to be one the family throughout the house. Bear is such a catch, so don’t wait if you think you have what it takes to be his forever home. ■
Don’t forget to license your dog. It’s that time of year again so the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS) would like to remind you to license your dog by April 1. You’ll need to have them up-to-date on their rabies shot so please check with your veterinarian and make an appointment, if necessary. Did you know that Vermont state law requires all cats to have their rabies shots, too? If you’re not sure, please check with your vet to make sure your dog and cat are up to date on their shots.

• Selective closure or dismissal: when all or most students in the school are at higher risk for complications once infected. • Reactive closure or dismissal: when many students and staff are sick and are not attending school. • Preemptive closure or dismissal: to decrease the spread of infection before many students and staff get sick. “We’re not at that point where we think they (closures) are necessary,” Vermont Agency of Education Secretary Dan French said. “That could be coming at some point in the future, and we’re planning how to do that now.” The Middlebury Selectboard, Town Manager Kathleen Ramsay and Local Emergency Management Director-Police Chief Tom Hanley, are continuing to monitor information about COVID-19 on a daily basis as it is published by various agencies.
“We are actively assessing potential impacts from the virus on municipal operations and vital community services,” accroding to Ramsay. “In the next few days, we will be creating a COVID-19 resource page on the town website with links to state and federal guidance about steps you can take to protect yourself and your family, up-to-date information from the Vermont Health Department about the spread of the virus and information, if needed, about planned changes to municipal operations.” On March 13, Gov. Phil Scott (R) issued an executive order to declare a state of emergency in Vermont in response to COVID-19, commonly known as the new coronavirus. No student is required to be in school if their parents or guardians would prefer to keep them home. See SCHOOLS » pg. 3

Good news for a growing regional agri-business By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Gov. Phil Scott (R) officially kicked off Vermont’s annual maple season and saluted the local maple industry on March 9 with the Gagne family at Gagne Maple. “Vermont maple is second to none, and we wouldn’t have the best in the world if it wasn’t for hard working families and sugar makers...,” Scott said. “With Vermont’s leadership and example, maple continues to be a valuable agricultural product and an important part of Vermont’s economy and brand.” Scott’s event marked a good moment in Vermont’s maple industry. The state currently leads the nation in total syrup produced, bringing over $50 million of revenue for the past three years. “The maple industry is not only growing, it is innovating new products and technologies each year,” said Commerce and Community Development Secretary Lindsay Kurrle. “We have long been known for our maple syrup, but what people

Photos provided don’t often see is how these family-run businesses can help put our rural communities on the map, push the maple industry forward nationally and internationally, and reinforce why Vermont is a great place to live, work, and play.” Nearly half the maple produced in the United States comes from Vermont, according to both the state’s data and a report by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). In 2019, more than 2 million gallons of Vermont’s sweet product was produced. Other USDA maple statistics include:

Infinite in all directions
From the editor
I keep a notebook filled with quotes and facts that I come across in the course of my readings. Most of these scribblings are of a scientific nature on subjects which are of special interest to me along with philosophical, spiritual thoughts culled from various traditions. I’ll share these extracts from my little notebook: • As far as the human eye can see: “Most of the universe is beyond our horizon. And how much of it is? Estimates are that the universe beyond our horizon is 10 to the 10 to the 100 times bigger than what’s visible to us. It’s an immense universe... and that’s just our universe,” according to Dr. Victor Stenger (1935-2014), particle physicist, philosopher, and author. •All the stuff that we see in the observable universe make up only 5 percent of all the matter in our
cosmos. The bulk of our universe is made up of dark energy, the invisible stuff the fuels the expansion of the cosmos (75 percent), and dark matter, heavy gravity stuff (25 percent), all the other stuff we will never see. •Extraterrestrial intelligence: Alien biology is not likely to be purely aggressive, but unlikely to be purely peaceful. Should we continue to broadcast our presence in outer space? •Here today gone tomorrow: Stars explode at the rate of 10 every second in the observable universe. That’s a lot of novae and supernovae. •Seeing is believing in a contradiction: While the universe may be 14 billion years old, astronomers can actually see objects that are 47 billion light years away, all thanks to our expanding cosmos courtesy of dark energy. According to UCLA’s astronomy website, “This (fact) is not due to any change in the units of space and time, but caused by things being farther apart now than
they used to be.” •The Earth may be a sphere but the universe is flat: This idea doesn’t mean that our cosmos is physically flat as the screen you’re reading these words upon, but rather “flat” in the Euclidean sense meaning that, in the geometry of our universe, imaginary parallel lines will never intersect “out there”. •What is the universe expanding into? Nothing. The cosmos creates its own space as it expands. Our universe may be a micro universe formed as a “white hole” at the far end of a titanic black hole in a mega universe. It’s unlikely we’ll ever know for sure. •Galaxies on the move: Yes, our universe is expanding thanks to dark energy, but galaxies remain at their fi xed celestial coordinates; it’s the distance (space) between the fi xed galaxies which expands over time. Astronomers see this phenomenon as the “redshift” of light. A mind-bending novelette, titled
”He Who Shrank”, was written by Henry Hesse and published in Astounding science-fiction magazine during the 1930s. The story describes a scientist’s journey through a subatomic infinity. At one point in his journey through smaller and smaller universes, the fictional scientist passes through our own Earth, just another planet in one of the endless sub-atomic universes he traverses. This haunting, purely imaginary tale gives meaning to the late physicist Freeman Dyson’s phrase, “infinite in all directions.” (Dyson died recently.) When reading a bedtime story to his children, Albert Einstein liked to begin the yarn thus: “Once upon a spacetime…” A delightful thought, Einstein probably never said this to his kids at bedtime. It appears to be nothing more than a witty, urban legend. I hope this sampling of scribbles gets you thinking about your own little place in our vast and possibly infinite universe. ■
Thoughts from behind the pressline
United in uncertain times By Dan Alexander PUBLISHER
No one has a crystal ball, given these rapidly changing conditions. Obviously, the health of our population is of utmost importance as we venture into these uncharted waters. With that said, we are trying to focus on getting the best local information you need out as quickly as possible. Doing so while the health of our staff and financial necessities may create some limitations. We can’t begin to predict what lies ahead beyond the events of the day. As of this moment, we know of no cases of COVID-19 infections in Essex County or Clinton County, New York, where we have offices, but
we are trying to be proactive and think of these steps as an ounce of prevention. As of Sunday night, in consultation with our senior management team at The Sun and the Vermont Eagle, we’ve decided to move as many employees as possible to work from home. At the same time, we’ve decided to close our offices to the public to slow down unnecessary interaction in the hopes of preventing any infections. We ask our customers to call our office or use email if you need to communicate with us. If you must visit the office, please call the main switchboard at 518-873-6368 if you need a face-to-face meeting so that we can be sure the person you need to see is even available. With schools and other businesses in the area closed, our immediate thoughts are the communication needs of our readers and the economic health of our local businesses. At this point, we intend to keep the presses running and the website well populated.
The events calendar has seen nearly every event, meeting, and scheduled program canceled. Since we won’t be covering many public or sporting events, we’ll focus on critical information to help you understand what’s taking place regionally. Articles on health care systems and the availability of important services like food or pharmacy deliveries, transportation, heating fuel, and other basic needs assuming many of you may choose to self-isolate. The actions we all take in the next few weeks are for the good of our neighbors, friends, and family who may be at great risk should this virus infect them. The greatest fear today is that we must slow down the rate of infection so as not to overburden what our health care systems can handle. Day by day, working together as we learn more about how we can defend against the virus, the stronger we become not just with COVID-19 but with all infectious illnesses. Godspeed and keep safe in the days ahead. ■

Capsule Last year, we looked at Vermont’s 55th Lt. Gov. S. Hollister Jackson (R). This time, we look at the tragic end of this elected official of the 1920s. A native Canadian who moved to Barre as a young man, Jackson died during the infamous Vermont Flood of 1927. “Jackson’s car stalled after he hit a deep hole while attempting to drive through the rising Potash Brook near his home at Nelson and Tremont streets in Barre,” as reported in “Roadside History of Vermont” by Peter S. Jennison. “According to a witness, Jackson’s hat and glasses were knocked off, and he appeared dazed,” Jennison reports. “He began walking towards his house, and water rushing fast enough to cut a channel across Nelson Street (then a dirt road) carried him away. Those nearby attempted unsuccessfully to save him, as did a Vermont National Guard detachment. He drowned, and the next day his body was recovered from the Potash approximately a mile from where he was last seen.” This photograph was taken in early 1927 shortly before his untimely death. He served as the state’s second-incommand for 10 months.

To the Editor: Thank you to our teachers and schooll officials for your work to date in managing the COVID-19 crisis. There is no doubt this is an unusual and concerning time for boards, administrators, teachers, parents and students. It is essential that we model the calm, compassionate leadership that Gov. Scott has called for in this moment of service. That means decisions like how we approach school closures need to be coordinated, based on facts, sound science, and most importantly in a case like this, what is going to be most effective in our overall effort to protect Vermonters. Put more clearly, we need to make decisions based on what is most effective in mitigating the spread and impact of the virus. Accordingly, our decisions should be based on the recommendations of the state’s best medical, public health and emergency response experts. Districts should be urged, strongly, to think clearly and carefully about the guidance from the Vermont Department of Health and impact of school closures on overall response. Here are some important points local districts should consider: Based on the best available public health science, data and assessments specific to COVID-19 closing schools in Vermont at this time is not recommend by the Vermont Department of Health. Again, this recommendation is based on the best available information and expertise. Closing our schools and childcare centers immediately would negatively, and in some areas severely, impact the ability of healthcare workers and others to report to work at a time when we need them making critical preparations. As we all know, there are also many students who have special, often significant,
needs or who rely on school for much of their food. We should not close schools until there are effective plans in place to meet the needs of these students. The governor has issued an executive order establishing a range of provisions to mitigate spread and each measure is informed by experts and science, and considers the overall strategy of the state and its communities in the response. We all have to prioritize and coordinate decisions based on what is going to be most effective in the overall response – this is very important. In his executive order, the governor also directs me to lead contingency planning for school closures in Vermont – this work is well underway – and has waived all penalties for truancy, so parents are free to keep their children out of school if they choose to do so. At this time, I recommend you plan for the possibility of the prolonged, preemptive closure of the schools in your district. The decision to close schools will be made with as much advance notice as possible, but we all recognize that this may occur quickly based on the best science and the guidance of the best public health experts we have in Vermont. Here’s the bottom line: A coordinated approach to school closure – and it will likely be necessary to have school closures as part of the overall response – is essential to ensuring these closures are as effective as possible in mitigating the impact of the virus. We must not let fear lead to decisions that impair the ability of the healthcare system to prepare and respond, or to decisions that leave some students behind. We need to work together, across all systems and levels of government. And, as Vermonters have proven time and again, when we work together there is no challenge we cannot meet. — Daniel M. French, Ed.D., Secretary of Education, Montpelier ■

Vermont ramblings
Pandemic By Tom Pinsonneault COLUMNIST
The Spanish flu of 1918-1920, a pandemic that claimed the lives of more than all of the civilians and soldiers killed during World War 1. It is said that the Spanish flu infected an estimated 5oo million people worldwide and was responsible for the death of an estimated 20 to 50 million victims. The Spanish flu (variously called the influenza or flu) is believed by some to have originated in the United States on a military base in the state of Kansas although, France, China and Great Britain were highly suspect as points of origin. And, although it is called the Spanish flu it is not likely that it originated in Spain. In that time in history there were no effective medicines to combat such a pandemic. Various medicines were used and people did what they thought was right to stop the spread of the flu, but the flu exacted a toll. It is estimated that in the United States 15,000 souls perished and 280,000 hospitalized in consequence of the Flu. During the first year of the Spanish flu Pandemic life expectancy in the United States dropped about 12 years. Although the flu continues to threaten us, as of 2010 it was no longer considered a global threat. I think it a fair statement to say that during the Spanish
Flu Pandemic everyone knew someone who had been affected by the flu, in one way or another. My Grandfather, Alfred and his wife, Alexa, lived in Bennington, Vermont, during the Spanish influenza. They had six children and lost two of those children to the flu. Alfred worked as a bartender at the Eagles Club and every night, during the influenza, when he returned home he brought a jar of whiskey with him to share with my grandmother, when the children were safely in bed and asleep. My grandfather always maintained that it was the whiskey that helped spare him and his wife from the flu. Today, we are faced with another pandemic, the coronavirus, which is having a world wide impact on all phases of people’s lives. Major sporting events are being postponed along with other event in which large crowds would be in attendance. Schools and universities are extending vacation time and many universities are conducting classed via on-line services and theaters and other forms of mass entertainment are taking similar precautions. Other types of closures and cancellations are bound to occur, all in an effort to limit person to person contact. Other countries are finding ways to help contain the spread of the coronavirus. At this time the country of Italy has totally shut down; banning all public event and meetings and that is the very least. South Korea and China are also implementing programs to help contain the spread of the virus and hospitals and medical facilities worldwide are gearing-up to handle the surge in victims seeking medical attention.
“The American spirit is strong and together we will overcome this new challenge,” writes Tom Pinsonneault. Pictured: U.S. Army Camp Hospital No. 45, in Aix-Les-Bains, France, during the Spanish flu pandemic of World War I. U.S. Army photo
A saving grace for us, if you will allow, is that today we are better equipped to deal with this new pandemic. Our medical and scientific communities are better prepared to help contain and slow the spread of this new virus and our communications network is very strong, helping to keep people informed and up-dated. The American spirit is strong and together we will overcome this new challenge. For myself, I have been thinking of my grandfather and trying to decide if it was whiskey or really a good bourbon. ■ — Writer Tom Pinsonneault lives in Orwell, Vermont.
Brandon man leading way in EV fast-charging Michael Shank congratulates GMP pilot program By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
BRANDON | A Brandon man is leading the way to increase awareness about electric vehicles (EVs) and to expand fast-charging stations around the area. Dr. Michael Shank is a leading advocate for EV transportation. When Green Mountain Power (GMP) announced on March 9 that it is launching a program to expand fast charging for electric vehicles (EVs) in Vermont, as a way to directly confront the state’s largest source of carbon emissions: transportation, Dr. Shank was front and center. “This move by GMP brings us that much closer to a fully networked Vermont, where EV drivers can find fast-charging stations easily, whether they’re driving to work or school, or to hike, hunt or ski,” said Dr. Shank,

& you’ll never be missed!
a co-organizer of Brandon’s EV Festival and communications director for the Carbon Neutral Cities Alliance. “The easier it is to charge your way around the state, the easier it is for drivers to make the EV switch, leaving the air cleaner for all Vermonters. Electric highways and green roadways are the future. GMP is bringing that future to Vermont today.” “We know more Vermonters will make the
switch to EVs when they have greater access to fast charging, especially in rural areas. This is a win for EV drivers and for GMP customers because the program is designed to more than pay for itself, returning savings back to customers,” said Mari McClure, GMP’s president and CEO. “We are focused on offering costeffective solutions to reduce carbon emissions while increasing affordability for all of our

customers, and this pilot program does that.” Use of fast chargers across GMP’s service area doubled last year, showing the growing need for expanding access, McClure said. She noted that Vermont also has more than $2 million in Volkswagen grant money available for fast charging expansion and those applying to the state program can also apply for extra savings through the pilot program. “We are actively seeking applicants to deploy strategically located electric vehicle fast-charging stations. GMP’s investment, tied directly to the state’s efforts, will lead to additional interest and an increase in the number of fast chargers in Vermont. This kind of cost-effective approach to charging infrastructure is what will make the transition to electric vehicles practical for everyone,” said Ted Brady, deputy secretary of the Agency of Commerce and Community Development. GMP has filed the pilot program with state regulators, and can begin enrolling qualified customers March 20. You can learn more about the pilot and the application here: https://greenmountainpower.com/product/charge-fast/ or by calling GMP at 888-835-4672. ■

2020 MAPLE SUGAR BOWL TEAMS NAMED Academy and the New Hampshire team is coached by Tarek Rothe, head coach at Alvirne High School. Both teams and coaches met March 8 for the first time for an informational gathering. The gathering was held at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center (DHMC) in Lebanon, New Hampshire. The Shrine Maple Sugar Bowl is played for the benefit of the Shriners Hospitals for Crippled and Burned Children and in its first 66 years has raised nearly $5 million. The game is one of 30 Shrine games played every year across the country. The twin state game is sponsored by the two Shrine Centers of Vermont: Cairo in Rutland and and Mt. Sinai in Montpelier. ■
