SCOTT ORDERS ‘STAY AT HOME’ RULE
If leaving home, you should adhere to social distancing policies, including remaining 6 feet from others (except for those with whom they share a home), regularly washing their hands, and avoiding touching their faces. All businesses and nonprofits not expressly exempted in the order must suspend all in-person business operations. Operations that can be conducted online or by phone, or sales that can be facilitated with curbside pickup or delivery only, may continue. The order contains exemptions for businesses and entities that provide services or functions deemed critical to public health and safety, along with economic and national security. Leaving the home for exercise and outdoor activity is permitted, provided that people are adhering to appropriate social distancing.
No roadblocks, no road closings; hope for self regulation among citizens By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | A “Stay Home, Stay Safe” executive order by Vermont Gov. Phil Scott (R) went into effect on March 25. The order is in effect until April 15 though it may be extended or shortened. The executive order does not close roads, nor does it establish roadblocks, checkpoints or the authority to demand identification. Immediately following Scott’s rule, the Vermont Department of Public Safety issued guidance to local police departments regarding potential enforcement of the order. “I have tremendous faith in Vermonters’ shared ability to follow these directives in order to save lives, and to support each other and their communities during the COVID-19 pandemic,” Scott said
Gov. Phil Scott: “When we tell people to stay home to save lives, I’m confident Vermonters will do the right thing.” Pictured: Scott in the State House before the pandemic. Photo courtesy Office of the Governor last week. “Vermont is a small state with close-knit communities known for looking out for the wellbeing of our neighbors. When we tell people to stay home to save
lives, I’m confident Vermonters will do the right thing.”
WHAT IS THE ORDER?
Scott’s order directs Vermont
residents to stay at home, leaving only for essential reasons, critical to health and safety, such as grocery shopping, seeking medical care, or exercising outside.
Hanley: “Light at the end of the tunnel” COVID-19 expected to peak in April; face mask collection underway By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | Vermont has increased COVID-19 testing, with Mayo Clinic now doing testing along with the Vermont Dept of Health (VDH), according to Middlebury
Police Chief and Local Emergency Management Director Tom Hanley. “ With this, physicians are encouraged to recommend those with mild or moderate systems to get tested,” Hanley reported last week. Hanley noted that, “VDH estimates that we will see the outbreak in Vermont peak in two to four weeks then begin to level off and diminish. It is clearly evident that community wide transmission is the basis for the widespread outbreak. It is important to continue the stay-at-home practice as well as maintaining social distance. Stay-at-home is not a lockdown or quarantine. The intent is to
reduce community wide transmission.” Hanley told residents to get outdoors and exercise. “Get out in the sunshine, take a walk, do yard work, exercise,” he said, “but maintain hygiene such as washing hands often and maintaining social distance. On the TAM (Trail Around Middlebury) and other trails, avoid close contact; follow the six-foot rule.” Hanley said he and other local emergency professionals are grateful for local support of Porter Medical Center in response to the Center for Disease Control’s guidance on face masks. See POLICE UPDATE » pg. 3
HOW THE ORDER IS BEING ENFORCED
In instances where police officers observe or are made aware of people operating in violation of the order law enforcement is encouraged to speak with the proprietor, staff, or group, provide a reminder of the new requirements, and assess voluntary compliance. Civil or regulatory mechanisms, specifically informing and educating those encountered in violation of the order about the mechanisms that may apply, could prove helpful. Officials expect the majority of compliance to be self-regulating. Motor-vehicle and pedestrian traffic will continue for permissible activities outdoors and travel to and from businesses and elsewhere under Scott’s order. The order does not establish cause to initiate a motor vehicle stop or detain people for questioning about their travel. Vermonters seeking additional information about the executive order should call 2-1-1, and visit the websites governor.vermont.gov andvem.vermont.gov. ■
Essential businesses remain open Middlebury Agway, other “essential” local retailers, open during crisis By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
MIDDLEBURY | A number of local retailers such as the Middlebury Agway store on Exchange Street have been designated as “essential” businesses during the COVID-10 crisis, according to the retailer. “This is due to our sale of animal feed, pet food, agricultural products, including seeds and veggie plants as well as hardware,” an Agway store official reported in a March 25 website public notice. The store, like others around the region, will continue curbside pick up. Customers are asked to telephone, order, and pay over the phone. “While many people are being asked to stay home, we still want to offer our products and customer service,” the March 25 notice added. “We have decided to do this in a way that is safer for those at risk but still need their pet food or other supplies.... (We’re) open for business as usual going forward unless we are otherwise instructed by the governor or the federal government. We are constantly monitoring the news and social media for the latest reports and updates.”

Pandemic: School’s out in Vermont Scott dismisses school for the academic year By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
See BUSINESSES » pg. 3
MIDDLEBURY | Still maintaining social distancing at a televised and internet news conference held in Montpelier on March 27, Gov. Phil Scott and members of his administration provided an update on the latest executive directive to dismiss schools for “in-person instruction” for the remainder of the current school year. “The education of our kids, along with
the bonding and learning experiences they get at school, are incredibly important, so I fully understand and appreciate the impact this will have on our kids individually and families across Vermont,” Scott said. “But from my vantage point, I believe it’s the right decision because it’s for the health of our kids, communities and the entire state.

Studies show pets can lower your blood pressure and stress levels, which is good for all of us. If you are interested in learning more about fostering a pet during these times, please contact Sue at sue@rchsvt. org or 802.483.6700 ext. 204.

RIZZA | Eight-year-old neutered male domestic short hair black and white.
MIDDLEBURY | The Vermont Retail and Grocers’ Association (VRGA) has published a list of current shortages as well as product status on store shelves around the region. Bread: The VRGA reports a worsening situation with bread products even as suppliers moved to full-time production which increased output by 50%; however, demand is exceeding available products at the present time. Milk: The Vermont supply of milk is good, but trucking and logistics are barriers causing out-of-stocks at some stores. Eggs: The egg supply is tightening and the cost is jumping. VRGA reports egg supplies are good for now, but could worsen. Cheese: VRGA reports that it will take up to two weeks to catch up to pre-COVID-19 levels of cheese in area stores. Paper and bathroom tissue products: Stores continue to receive product in quantities but much greater than what was sold in prior years. Paper towel supplies are starting to improve. Wipes, hand sanitizer, isopropyl alcohol: No recovery is in sight that will meet current demand. There will be significantly increased demand going forward from March levels. Meat: Continued struggles to secure core proteins: Chicken, pork and ground beef. The chicken outlook continues to not look good. However, beef outlook is improving. Last week, the Vermont Department of Motor Vehicles waived the requirements for five-axle trucks to need a permit to operate 92,000-pound vehicles for food deliveries. Federal highway authorities have likewise relaxed restrictions on transports and have cleared the way for expedited food-chain deliveries. VRGA officials will release an updated list of these items shortly. Be aware that due to the nature of newspaper publishing, the current supplies of items listed above will likely improve by the time the Eagle goes to press. ■
Hello down there. Oh, sorry didn’t mean to scare you. I am Rizza. I arrived at the shelter at the end of January as an owner surrender. My owners were no longer able to take care of me. However, I am hopeful that I will find my forever soon. I am a very low-key cat. I enjoy spending my time at the highest point in the room. It may take me some time to warm up to you but when I do I have so much love to give. I would love for you to stop by and meet me at RCHS.
PRIMETIME | Nine-month-old spayed female pit mix brindle.
I have a bubbly personality with a ton of energy. I arrived on Jan. 30 as a stray and after a brief stay I am ready to go home. I am still only a puppy and need someone to teach me what is ok and what is not ok when it comes to manners and setting boundaries. I love people and playing together. At the end of a busy day a nice snuggle on the sofa would be perfect! Leash walking like everything else is a work in progress.
ROVER | Three-year-old neutered male pitbull tan & white.
The best way to describe me is, I am a gentle giant. I just love being with people. I know how to sit and take treats nicely. I love to play with tennis balls and squeaky toys and if you have the time a good tug of war is nice for a few minutes. I arrived at the shelter on December 10 with my friend Ryder as strays and I was adopted on Jan. 4 then returned on Feb. 11 because it was not working out. Living with another dog after a meet greet should be no problem. I have no known history with cats or children. ■
KAYLA | Eight-year-old spayed female siamese torti point six pounds.
Got Mice? I am an older lady looking for work. I have tried living in a home but it was just not for me. I can get a little testy when it comes to handling and I am short tempered. As you can see I am a beautiful lady but looks can be deceiving. If you have a farm, stable,

Making glass along the lake Glassmaking was king in Addison County during the early 1800s By Lou Varricchio EDITOR

Henry R. Schoolcraft thriving glass manufacturing operation during the early 1800s. Often referred to as eit her t he Ver mont Gla ss Factor y or Lake Dunmore Glass Company, the now vanAn example of Lake Dunmore glassware. ished complex consisted of a large factory which SALISBURY | Along the shore of stood near Sunset Lodge. Lake Dunmore today, you’ll find Built to manufacture window bucolic summer cottages with well-crafted boat docks. But glass, the Lake Dunmore operalargely unknown to many lake tion eventually produced a variety residents is the fact that the larg- of glassware include bottles, flasks, est lake, completely surrounded by drinking cups, even whimsical Addison County, was the scene of a miniature top hats that are now
sought after collector’s items. “Foreign competition, overexpansion with a plant in East Middlebury, and a bad fire at the Lake Dunmore facility caused glass production to cease in 1817,” writes author and historian William Powers of Rutland. “In 1832, the Lake Dunmore Glass Company was formed and resumed glass making through 1842 when the glass furnaces were cooled forever.” Powers notes that the late author Max Petersen compiled a history of Vermont glass making with a focus on the Lake Dunmore glass-making center. The history of Lake Dunmore’s glass factory begins with Henry R. Schoolcraft who was born in Albany County, New York, in 1793.
After his foray into Vermont glassmaking, Schoolcraft headed west and made a name for himself as frontier pathfinder. Even the Encyclopedia Britannica has a listing for Schoolcraft. He is described as “An American explorer and ethnologist noted for his discovery of the source of the Mississippi River and for his writings on the native peoples of the North American plains.” Schoolcraft died in in the District of Columbia in 1864. “(Schoolcraft)... settled in Salisbury in 1812 and assisted in the building and managing of the glassworks of the ‘Vermont Company’ both in Salisbury and in Middlebury,” Sewell writes. “While living at Lake Dunmore he erected a chemical furnace and experimental laboratory, and at the
same time studied chemistry and mineralogy under a Professor F. Hall of Middlebury College.” Sewell adds that Schoolcraft’s overseas competition, the overextended plant operation in East Middlebury, plus a devastating fire at the Lake Dunmore, factory caused production to stop in 1817. “(However, in)... 1832, the Lake Dunmore Glass Company was formed and glassmaking continued through 1842 when the factory went idle for the last time,” he says. A good place to find examples of Addison County glassware is to visit the Bennington Museum in Bennington. Aside from exhibiting fine collections of art and sculpture, you can find a variety of local commercial glassware on display. ■

“While we currently have enough supplies on hand to care for our community right now, in order to build a strategic reserve we are now accepting donations of hand sewn masks,” he said. According to Hanley, “Addison County has the third-highest amount of positive cases in Vermont with 15. Putting this in perspective, there are over 32,000 people living in Addison County and about 626,000 people living in Vermont plus an untold number of visitors who have recently arrived.” Donated biomasks can be dropped off at our Round Robin Upscale Resale Thrift Shop in the Marble Works plaza Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Please leave them at the front door. ■

That’s why we’re doing this—to keep people safe, to slow the spread and to save lives. I believe it’s the right decision because it’s for the health of our kids, communities and the entire state. That’s why we’re doing this— to keep people safe, to slow the spread, to save lives. The sobering reality is: Before too long, each of us will know someone who has lost their life from this virus. That’s why we must come together and support each other to get through this.” Scott noted that his administration has no road map regarding where to go with the ongoing crisis but he is being cautious and going forward.
He noted that education leaders, parents and students have never been asked to do anything like this before in recent memory. “These times require all of us to think outside of the box to find creative solutions, and we must work together to ensure we still get the best outcomes possible for our kids,” Scott said. Scott added that the mitigation steps already in place should provide some hope so that Vermont students may be able to return to campus at the end of the year for graduation-related activities. “But we won’t make that decision until we’re certain it’s safe,” he said. ■

From the editor Vermont Gov. Phil Scott issued what he has called his “Stay Home, Stay Safe” order on March 24. Ten days earlier, Scott had declared a state of emergency in Vermont. Scott directed the closure of in-person operations for all non-essential businesses. According to a news release by the Office of the Governor, the restrictive measures “are in place to minimize all unnecessary activities outside the home to slow the spread of this virus and protect the public. These actions were implemented in consultation with the Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Health and his evaluation of the latest data.” Scott has instructed the following: All businesses and not-for-profit entities not expressly exempted in the order must suspend all in-person business operations. The order does provide some exemptions. Meanwhile, Scott, and his fellow governors have a few new critics. One critic believes draconian orders
by the President and state governors are neither helpful nor necessary. “The jury is still out on which of two things — COVID-19 or the panic over COVID-19 — will cost more lives and do more damage to the global economy. My money’s still on the latter,” according to advocacy journalist Thomas Knapp. “If this was about public health, government would be letting the market produce, and set prices for, essential goods instead of trying to seize control of production and suppress ‘price gouging’.” Knapp is director and senior news analyst at the Florida-based William Lloyd Garrison Center, a libertarian think tank. “This isn’t about public health: It’s about political power,” he asserts. But voices of opposition, such as Knapp’s, aren’t getting much public airing as those battling of the outbreak are commanding the headlines. S cot t ’s orde r of M a rc h 2 4 instructs Vermonters to stay inside their homes. Residents may leave only for essential reasons, critical to health and safety.
“If leaving the home, Vermonters should adhere to social distancing policies, including remaining six feet from others (except for those with whom they share a home) and thoroughly and regularly washing hands,” according to Scott. Despite common sense instructions, Knapp isn’t buying all the pandemic pronouncements made by Scott as well as other state governors. “As an old saying goes, ‘it’s not the fall that kills you, it’s the sudden stop at the end’. The world’s politicians are innovating on the fly... by trying to combine the fall — the COVID-19 epidemic — with the sudden stop, bringing life and commerce to a halt through draconian travel restrictions, business closures, etc.,” he wrote in an online essay last week. Regardless of critics such as Knapp, Scott and other governors are using their constitutional powers to restrict public activities during the present health crisis. “I want to be very clear about this,” Scott said, “we need everyone to limit activities outside of the home and to practice social distancing at all times to slow the spread of this
highly contagious and potentially deadly virus. We all must do our part to slow the spread of COVID-19 to minimize infections, particularly for those who are elderly or have underlying chronic health conditions, and prevent it from overwhelming our healthcare facilities. The more Vermonters who take this seriously and stay home, the faster we can return to normal.” Scott added: “I fully recognize the emotional, financial and economic impact of these decisions, but based on the best science we have available, these measures are necessary.” But critic Knapp thinks that a “return to normal” will happen only when governors, and other politicians including President Trump, loosen the strings of power and let the marketplace and people do their thing. “Three months without politicians exploiting panic... would reduce both the short-term death toll and the long-term problems of economic recovery,” Knapp added. What happens to us in the long run? Will things return to normal? Time will tell. — The editor ■

I had hoped to find a new subject this week to write about other than the COVID-19 virus, but it remains the one common denominator in our lives right now. It also was just announced that the President and his team have chosen to extend the national guidelines for curbing the virus by keeping all non-essential businesses, schools, and events closed through the month of April. It remains to be seen how the nation will respond to another four weeks of staying and/ or working at home. While no one should question the impact the virus is having on those who contract the virus nor the overall goal to lessen its effect on the population, we can only hope and pray that this
valuable time does save many lives. We are told every day if we stay hunkered down in our homes and avoid all unnecessary social contact, we are preventing the spread of the virus and thus saving lives—possibly our own or even those of our loved ones. Only time will tell if we are successful in controlling the death rate until a viable remedy or vaccine can be created. One thing we know for sure, give American entrepreneurs a challenge, and they will find multiple ways to solve it. In the meantime, can we have a little fun to contemplate some of the inadvertent consequences the pandemic will have on the world and our lifestyle? Is social distancing here to stay? Are hugs, handshakes, kisses, and high-fives a thing of the past? Will this be the beginning of a new meaning to the “Me too movement”? Are masks, gloves, and perhaps even fashionable respirators going to be the hot new Christmas gifts 2020? Will the kids ever go back to school or is
virtual teaching with parental support than then next pandemic? Can adults really be productive working from home (without the kids, of course,) wearing their jammies all day long? Can the NBA or NFL survive with the six-foot separation rule still intact? Will next season’s new TV hit be “Celebrity Handwashing”? Will white toilet paper go out of style now that everyone has so much and be replaced by designer colors? And lastly, can this all just be a bad dream, and when we wake up in the morning, will life be as it was? Come on, smile. All this will be over before you know it, and we’ll be back to our old routines before you can say Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious. (You mean after all TV binge-watching you did, you didn’t watch Marry Poppins?) Take care, hang in there, be safe, and keep washing those hands. ■ — Dan Alexander is publisher of Sun Community News.

The “Vermont” was the first horseless carriage to cross the United States during the spring and summer months of 1903. The auto traveled from San Francisco to New York City. Made in Ohio, the car was a twin-cylinder 1903 model made by the Winton Motor Carriage Co. of Ohio (Winton later merged with General Motors). The Vermont’s overland crew was owner pilot Dr. Horatio Nelson Jackson, of Burlington, Vermont, mechanic and navigator Sewall K. Crocker, and their mascot dog Bud. Bud became a bit of a national celebrity following the famous transcontinental trek. In 1903, there were just 150 miles of paved road in the USA. In some places Dr. Jackson paid as much as $5 for five gallons of gasoline.

MIDDLEBURY | Three Middlebury College administrators posted a special memorandum to campus staff members on March 18 regarding impact of the COVID-19 outbreak on campus. The letter, signed by President Laurie Patton, Vice President for Human Resources Karen Miller and EVP for Finance & Administration David Provost, outlines changes on campus in the wake of the pandemic. “This is a new moment for us, not just for us at Middlebury, but literally for everyone on the planet. We are in a changed environment and are all working tirelessly to navigate it,” the trio wrote. “Our new educational reality of needing to deliver a curriculum online is taking up much of faculty and staff time, and you are doing so in unusually stressful circumstances. We are also working with new financial realities, such as the extreme stock market volatility and our obligation to refund a percentage of room and board costs to a great majority of students, to name just two,” according to the letter.. The three officials stressed that they are following two overarching values. “The health and well-being of our people, and of Middlebury as a whole.” Below are paraphrased highlights of what Patton, Miller and Provost outlined in the March 18 letter: • For benefits-eligible staff, the college will pay at their current level for the foreseeable future and will continue to evaluate on a month-to-month basis. • For the next three months, the college will provide all benefits-eligible employees what we are calling a COVID-19 Pay Bank of up to 21 days that you can use for circumstances in connection with the COVID-19 crisis. These are not vacation or CTO days. • The college still has students living on campus... however, because of the smaller number of students now, a smaller percentage of staff will be on campus. • For employees whose work is on campus—but whose work is now no longer necessary—the college will make efforts to assign alternative work with appropriate social distancing. • For employees who can’t fi nd alternative work on campus, the college may temporarily assign some to work off campus, in coordination with the hospital and the town, with appropriate social distancing. “If none of the... alternatives is successful, we will ask staff to use their COVID-19 Pay Bank, Medical Leave Assistance Program, and their own CTO or SLR,” the letter writers added. “... If they do not return to work when called back, they risk losing their pay and access to their COVID-19 Pay Bank.” ■

Little City gears up for Route 22A summer paving project After-dark work expected to ease local traffic concerns By Lou Varricchio EDITOR
VERGENNES | Officials of the Vermont Agency of Transportation (VTrans) were on hand to host a special public information meeting on March 10 at the Vergennes Fire Station on Green Street. The purpose of this meeting was to present the public with information on the upcoming paving project on Route 22A. According to Natalie Boyle, VTrans public information consultant, “This meeting provided information on the scope of work, an overview of the construction schedule, and sources of information during construction. VTrans staff and the contractor were present to address any questions or concerns in regard to the work being performed for this project.” Boyle said that the “class 1” paving project will begin this spring and continue into the autumn months. The project locations begin on Route 22A in Vergennes, at the town line with Panton at mile marker 0.000, and run
north along Route 22A for a distance of 2.189 miles. “It stops at the town line with Ferrisburgh at mile marker 2.189,” according to Boyle. “Also, beginning at Route 22A mile marker 1.233 the project continues easterly along Ferrisburgh State Highway (Green Street) for a distance of 0.666 miles and stops in Vergennes at mile marker 0.666 in the intersection of U.S. Route 7.” Vergennes residents got a detailed overview of the project at last week’s meeting. According to VTrans public information, work will generally consist of coarse milling the existing pavement to a depth of a few inches, then placing a lift of Type IVS pavement to level the road surface, followed by a lift of Type IVS pavement as the final wearing surface. Prior to the placement of the final wearing surface utility valves and drainage structures within the roadway will be adjusted as necessary. Sidewalk ramps and pedestrian crossing infrastructure will be replaced and upgraded to meet current ADA standards, according to VTrans. Some minor drainage work will occur near and along the edge of pavement. Signs will also be replaced and upgraded as necessary to meet current specifications in the Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices. Existing traffic signals within the project limits will receive some minor upgrades. VTRans noted that this project is incorporated under a larger
STATE MONEY FOR STUDENTS
The new Vergennes paving project will include Main Street and the Town Green. The construction project should not overly affect Main Street businesses because of its planned after-dark composite contract with the Bristol paving project. The Vergennes project is incorporating various features which were identified within the Route 22A Truck Route Study which was prepared by the Addison County Regional Planning Commission. The majority of the work between mile marker 1.033 (Bridge 27 over the Otter Creek River) to mile marker 1.306 (near Vergennes City Hall) on Route 22A be performed between the hours of 9 p.m. to 8 a.m. in the next calendar day. Note: Special thanks to VTrans for project details noted above. ■ UVM-Porter Medical Center. While Porter Medical is not accepting donations of hand-sewn masks, if you do wood-working or other activities that require N95 masks or reuseable respirators, the hospital is seeking those items. You can direct questions about donations, or messages to Amy Barr, UVM-Porter Medical Center development director, at abarr@portermedical.org. ■
Middlebury, other construction halted MIDDLEBURY | On March 25, in accordance with Gov. Phil Scott’s “Stay Home, Stay Safe” executive order, the secretary of the Vermont Agency of Transportation ordered the temporary shutdown of virtually all construction projects in Vermont. The temporary shutdown of construction projects will extend until April 15, the same timeline as the executive order. ■
Commit to Vermont school by June 1 MIDDLEBURY | The Vermont Agency of Commerce and Community Development, Vermont Student Assistance Corporation and 13 Vermont colleges and universities are announcing the 2020 Choose Vermont Scholarship Program, which will award $60,000 in scholarship money to students who commit to attend a Vermont school by June 1. Both out-of-state and Vermont students are eligible to enter. The program Targets students already accepted to a Vermont school, encouraging them to take the next step and “Choose Vermont.” “As we work to grow our workforce and help Vermonters in their careers, our higher education system plays a critical role,” said Gov. Phil Scott. “These institutions, however, are feeling the effects of Vermont’s demographic crisis and declining enrollment. It’s a testament to Vermonters’ ingenuity and collaboration that public and private partners are willing to work together to pool marketing resources and highlight the state as an ideal location for higher education.” Students who commit to attend one of the 13 participating Vermont schools between January 1, 2020 and June 1, 2020 and then register at ThinkVermont.com/scholarship will become eligible to win a $5,000 scholarship to their school. The Vermont Student Assistance Corporation will offer an additional $5,000 scholarship to a student who commits to any of the 13 participating schools. ■
Students want your stories MIDDLEBURY | The Middlebury College Campus student newspaper is launching a remote long-term storytelling project and is asking people to fill out an online form to tell their story in order to maintain community while students are dispersed off-campus: The editors believe that an essential part of maintaining the local community will be telling and listening to each others’ stories as this situation continues to develop. Whatever your relationship to the college — whether you’re a student, college employee, alumnus, or resident of Middlebury — they want to hear your stories. ■
