SALISBURY | On Sept. 13 at approximately 12:05 a.m., Vermont State Police responded to a single vehicle crash located at the intersection Creek Road and Dewey Road in Salisbury. Further investigation revealed that the operator of the vehicle, later identified as Danielle Austin, 39, of Leicester, was traveling west on Creek Road and lost control of her vehicle. Austin lost control of her vehicle, a 2013 Chevrolet Equinox SUV, and subsequently collided with a utility pole. The vehicle was totaled. » Woman Injured Cont. on pg. 3

Rutland to hold disaster drill FROM STA FF & NEWS REPORTS

RUTLAND | Dozens of volunteers, hospital employees and local emergency responders will take part in a disaster exercise on Saturday, Sept. 23 at a location within Rutland City. This exercise will test the preparedness and response of local, regional and state agencies should a real crisis occur. The mock disaster has been planned since January and is used as an opportunity to train over 100 Emergency Medical Service (EMS) providers on Warm Zone entry with law enforcement.

The event, sponsored by Rutland Regional Medical Center and Rutland City Police Department will focus on response plans for an actual disaster, which would trigger a sudden influx of patients, media and concerned community members. The full scale mass-casualty exercise is being conducted in collaboration with multiple partner agencies including the Rutland Regional Medical Center, local police and fire departments and District 10 EMS agencies. “It’s a mock exercise, but a very real test of our ability to respond to an actual disaster. We appreciate the cooperation of everyone involved,” Beth Winter of Rutland Regional said. ■

Landowner troubled by river ordinance By Lou Varricchio STA FF W RITER

MIDDLEBURY | The ancient, 60-milelong White River flows through an eastern section Addison County at Granville. The river, popular for fishing and boating, also passes through most of adjoining Windsor County. The narrow White River Valley received the brunt of Tropical Storm Irene in 2011, and while residents have gotten on with their lives, the memory of the impact of the weather event lingers. For example, the town of Granville was cut off from the rest of Addison County by Irene-related flooding. South of Granville, landowner Kevin Blakeman is worried about the river and its many

tributaries for an entirely different reason. Since his hometown of Sharon embraced the state’s restrictive Flood Hazard Area bylaw and River Corridor Regulations, his developable land options appear to have shrunk to nothing. With retirement on the horizon, the realtor and former selectman would like to be able to develop a 15-acre portion of his property. The town says he can’t because Fay Brook may flood some day, causing erosion around his property and properties downstream and on to the White River. Blakeman believes that the River Corridor Regulations are too draconian and ultimately un-American. He also believes the flood hazard maps have been arbitrarily drawn. » River Ordinance Cont. on pg. 9
