Refugees on their way to Rutland

By Bruce Parker bparker@watchdog.org

RUTLAND — Approval of a secret plan to make Rutland a refugee resettlement center has divided the community and left many unanswered questions about security and financial risks for the city.

One hundred mostly Syrian refugees are headed to Rutland as soon as December following notification from the State Department on Wednesday that the city of 16,000 residents is now a designated host community.

The approval comes in response to a 120-plus-page application Mayor Chris Louras (D) filed earlier this year in collaboration with representatives of the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program. Louras kept the application secret to hide details of the plan and prevent public input.

The mayor’s actions have stoked suspicion and ignored legitimate security and financial questions, according to state and local leaders.

“I think they are questions that should be answered,” Lt. Gov. Phil Scott said at a gubernatorial debate Wednesday night in Rutland.

Scott said Rutland County’s Senate delegation asked questions of the State Department, the governor and Vermont’s congressional delegation but was ignored.

“I think they were legitimate questions, and to my knowledge nobody’s responded. I just think we have an obligation to have a transparent conversation,” he said. “There’s legitimate concerns about what this is going to mean to Rutland — how much it’s going to cost.”

Bristol Cohousing: It takes a village

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

BRISTOL — If it takes a village to raise a child, according to African folklore, then Bristol Village Cohousing may be the place in which it happens best. Construction began this week on a unique planned “village within a village” in downtown Bristol.

According to cohousing project leaders Jim Mendell and Peg Hammond, Bristol Village Cohousing—accessed via North Street—is a planned community of 14 households. Seven of the units are reserved, with the other seven now available for new members.

Bristol Cohousing’s project architect is Vermont Integrated Architecture of Middlebury, the CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Solar storage available to GMP customers

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

RUTLAND — Green Mountain Power and SunCommon announced a partnership that will allow customers to store their solar power for security during a power outage.

The first of its kind program in Vermont partners a utility with a solar company to offer home storage that both strengthens the grid and allows homes to power from solar during outages.

Through the program, residents in Addison, Rutland and Chittenden counties can add a solar system and the powerwall to their homes with no upfront cost and a fixed monthly payment.

“We are excited to work with SunCommon, a fellow Vermont B-Corp, and together we will empower our customers to control their energy use, keep costs low and increase reliability all year long,” said GMP President and CEO Mary Powell. “Leveraging the latest innovations like battery storage, we are working with customers to move away from the antiquated bulk grid, to a cleaner and more reliable energy system, where power is gen-

erated closer to where it’s used.”

The home battery can be paired with home solar to store locally generated energy.

During a storm or emergency, the battery powers essential parts of the home like lights, refrigerator, and heat pump home heating system.

Alone, the Tesla Powerwall can keep a home’s essentials running for hours.

The technology was designed to pair with solar to be recharged as the sun shines.

During a recent summer storm, one customer in Lincoln was able to power her home for 14 hours.

Normally, when an outage occurs the solar on a customer’s roof can’t power the home, but by adding the battery the solar system becomes a backup power source. Pairing home solar with home storage offers added security to Vermont families and local resiliency to our communities.

“By charging a home storage unit with solar power, homes can become self-sufficient during outages, keeping the Internet connected, phones charged and the fridge chilled. We’re excited to work with Green Mountain Power to bring this opportunity to Vermonters at a heavy discount. GMP’s forward-thinking recognizes the huge value of local storage to our grid; adding storage will mean a smarter, more reliable grid, ready to host more renewable energy as we build it,” said James Moore of SunCommon.

Through the partnership, customers will

have a streamlined process for both the solar panels and Powerwall. Together GMP and SunCommon offer a flat monthly price with no upfront costs to ensure these products are affordable and accessible. Customers can lease a Powerwall for $37.50/month, and finance their solar system to save as much as 20 percent on their home energy costs in year 1.

“I switched to solar to save money and become more energy independent. The more I can power my life with solar the better off I am. With the battery back-up, I can store sunshine to use during an outage making the most of my solar production,” said Rhonda Phillips, the joint program’s first customer.

U.N. meets in Vermont for first time

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — Manchester and surrounding communities played host to guest of the first United Nations (U.N) meeting to ever take place in Vermont: the “United Nations Retreat on Sustainable and Resilient Communities.”

The purpose of holding the meeting at the Stratton Mountain resort near Manchester was, according to Danika Frisbie of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, “To look at the local practices for sustainability and resilience and the positive change that this approach has

brought in terms of the strengthening of the peaceful and inclusive society in Vermont and draw lessons and inspiration from them.”

Attending the meeting were Agency of Natural Resources Secretary Deb Markowitz, Bangladesh Ambassador Tareq Md. Ariful Islam, Ecuador Ambassador H.E. Horacio Sevilla, Indonesia Ambassador H.E. Dian Triansyah Djani, Paraguay Ambassador Marcelo Scappini, Senegal Ambassador H.E Fode Seck, and Vietnam Ambassador Huyun Hu. Stratton Mountain resort near Manchester played host to the first U.N. meeting to ever take place in Vermont, the “United Nations Retreat on Sustainable and Resilient Communities.”

Continued from page 1 Democratic gubernatorial candidate Sue Minter, also speaking during the debate, said refugee resettlement has created challenges in other areas of the state.

“I will say that our school had to bring more language instruction, more ESL classes. We had difficulties in our community,” Minter said. She said concerns could be addressed through “better communication.”

City officials, the Board of Aldermen and local residents have tried in vain to obtain details of the program since Louras announced it on April 26. But continued secrecy has created a split between those who support Louras and those calling for transparent government.

“In order to heal this community we need to have the transparency the Board of Aldermen has been asking for,” City Treasurer Wendy Wilton said.

“I’m very disappointed in the state of Vermont refugee coordinator for not demanding it. I’m disappointed in the contractor for not adhering to the letter and spirit of the federal law and involving the Board of Aldermen in the discussions.”

Wilton, who spent months trying to project the program’s costs based on expenses incurred in other resettlement towns, estimates that property taxes could rise as much as 35 percent over the next few years to cover education and housing services for refugees.

“If we’re going to control spending and the tax rate, we’re going to have to cut in other areas, because this refugee experiment is not going to be free,” she said.

“Are there federal grant dollars that come in on the education side, absolutely. Is it enough to cover all the expenses related to these high needs folks? No.” Despite taking flak from the mayor, Wilton said she sticks by her claim that Burlington’s school budget doubled after the city started accepting refugees in 2008. She said the same cost increase will happen in Rutland as well.

“If we don’t have the capacity to handle 100 refugees a year, then we need to have an understanding with the federal government that we need to ratchet that back,” she said, adding that the city could afford to take in 25 refugees Security questions also have been raised but dismissed.

Homeland Security co-founder Phil Haney, speaking at a meeting hosted by Rutland First this month, cited studies showing 20 percent to 30 percent of refugees in the United States support violent jihad. He warned Rutland residents that the federal government is not properly vetting refugees.

But VTDigger reporter Adam Federman attempted to refute Haney by quoting individuals not present at the event, including Michael Breen, executive director of the Truman National Security Project. Breen told Federman refugees are “heavily vetted” and “do not present a national security threat.”

Recent statements by federal officials tend to side with Haney.

State Department spokesman John Kirby said last week that he “wouldn’t debate the fact that there’s the potential for ISIS terrorists to try to insert themselves.” Kirby cited instances of infiltration in refugee camps in Jordan and Turkey, but as-

sured that the U.S. vetting process is “very stringent.”

A Department of Homeland Security internal memo made public last week by members of Congress says terror suspects have already exploited the refugee program through its “loose evidentiary requirements.”

“A range of bad actors, who use manufactured histories, biographies and other false statements, as well as produce and submit fictitious supporting documentation, have exploited this program,” the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement memo states. It concludes that “refugee fraud is easy to commit, yet not easy to investigate.”

Examples from European governments show ISIS fighters have infiltrated the U.N. refugee program. On Sept. 13, German security police arrested three Syrian nationals suspected of working within an ISIS sleeper cell. The refugees, who entered the country through the U.N. program, also may be linked to the terror attack in the Bataclan theater in Paris, which caused the death of about 130 people.

Don Chioffi, an outspoken member of Rutland First, said legitimate security worries are falling on deaf ears in Vermont.

“Nobody wants to listen to Phil Haney, who knows more about security procedures and Homeland Security, and the breaches of their own security measures, than they do,” he said. “Nobody wants to listen to anybody who’s got the real information.” “(FBI Director) James Comey said again that when they put ISIS down there will be a massive (terrorist) diaspora that will assault this country. How can people avoid listening to the FBI director?”

The U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants is planning to open an office in Rutland to assist refugees. Staff mem-

bers will likely coordinate with Tara Kelly, Rutland’s new zoning administrator. Kelly was appointed in May after attending secret refugee planning meetings with Louras in January.

“He’s going to appoint her as refugee resettlement coordinator, you watch and see,” Chioffi said.

He suggested Kelly’s role could cost the city $60,000 or more plus benefits, adding that she was hired due to her prior work in immigration in California, as well as for her role as head of the Rutland Area Farm and Food Link.

“There’s another reason that he’s got her in there as zoning coordinator,” Chioffi said. “What happens when they go to put a mosque in the city? She’s the zoning administrator and has to make a decision on whether they can.”

Wilton, who supports resettlement at a proper scale, nevertheless lamented what the mayor’s actions have done to the city. “Our town is divided now because of this transparency lapse,” she said.

“I feel the only way to heal this rift — and if somebody wants this resettlement to be successful this must be done — there must be complete transparency about what was in that application. There has to be complete collaboration with the Board of Aldermen going forward. It must happen.”

To critics of her cost projections, Wilton said she welcomes anyone else who has a financial estimate. “I’d love to see that so we could have a debate.”

Don’t send in the clowns

“But where are the clowns?

There ought to be clowns Quick send in the clowns” — From the song “Send In the Clowns” written by Barbra Streisand

M

y advice to pop singers Barbra Streisand and Judy Collins would be—please!—don’t send in any more clowns at the moment. There are plenty to go around with all the evilclown sightings at schools nationwide.

The current bad-clown mania brings up a lot of discussion. Also, it reminds us to never underestimate the power of mass hysteria.

The historical record is replete with such human nuttiness from Salem’s witch trails to Nuremburg’s Nazi rallies by torchlight.

It would be comforting if it were true that 21st century humanity—a supposedly more sophisticated, more scientifically literate humanity compared to past generations—has somehow evolved beyond such outbreaks of mass hysteria.

Alas, people today are just as superstitious, just as easily spooked as those in the darkest dungeons of the Middle Ages. Yet, understanding this on all kinds of intellectual levels makes it even more unsettling than at first blush.

Today, our mass and social media, as well as personal communications, fuels a new kind of groupthink kookiness—from flash mobs (sometimes violent) to the current, illusory evil-clown sightings.

The hysteria is in our backyard, in case you hadn’t noticed. High school administrators in our area have been distracted by the latest youthful frenzy.

For example, school officials at Champlain Valley Union High School (CVU) and Middlebury Union High School have invited local police to campus during the past week in order to calm student fears.

In a letter to the CVU community, that high school’s principal wrote, “I write to reassure you that there have been no clown threats made against our school. It appears that our national clown phenomena started as a publicity stunt to spark interest in an independent film. Unfortunately, several people across the United States have made ill advised pranks and dressed as a clown to scare others.

This pranking has resulted in arrests and in violence towards those who are doing the pranks.”

Ok, if our government—under the authority of President Obama and then Secretary of State Clinton—can imprison an unhinged Christian cleric for an anti-Muslim video as the reason for inciting a violent attack on the U.S. Embassy in Benghazi, Lybia, on Sept. 11, 2012, then perhaps evil-clown indie moviemakers should bear some responsibility for the current mass-hysteria nonsense and violence?

Here’s my advice to movie and T.V. people everywhere: For the sake of those remaining, innocent children living in our blighted society, please keep all the clowns funny and smiling; do not have them leering at us in your depraved horror movies.

Thank you.

It’s a new era in manufacturing y nature, we are each unique and different. We want to pursue our own path in life and in nearly everything we do.

It’s that free spirit quality that has made our country so successful and

creative.

Last week, the country celebrated Manufacturing Week with events peppered from north to south. Creating and building products that meet the population’s ever-growing needs is not only a highly satisfying career, but one with handsome rewards also.

Plattsburgh, site of the new Institute of Advanced Manufacturing (IAM) at Clinton Community College, served as a host site for a number of manufacturers from around the region.

The panel discussion revealed several interesting new developments that might surprise those among us who think of manufacturing plants as dark and dirty, performing monotonous work.

Another purpose of the gathering was to celebrate the success our region enjoys having Dan Alexander these production facilities located here and to Thoughts from remind parents, teachers and students of the Behind the Pressline tremendous career opportunities available in the manufacturing fields today.

IAM will be a state-of-the-art facility designed to support advanced manufacturing throughout the region when it opens next fall and will provide the region with the perfect assets to attract and train our growing population.

Most manufacturing facilities pay approximately 20 percent more than the area’s going pay rates. Technical education degrees are far less expensive than liberal art degrees and are more likely to be achieved with far fewer college loans to pay back.

Most workers today are cross trained in more than one area of expertise and are provided greater opportunity for advancement, especially with baby boomers leaving the work force at high numbers.

Management no longer calls all the shots. They’ve learned most line workers have superior ideas when it comes to streamlining operations. Today’s worker actively seeks the opportunity to take a more active role improving the work flow and product design and management encourages this participation.

Training opportunities today far exceed what has been available in the past, and with new technology and a greater demand for green manufacturing taking place, workers play a more important role than ever before.

Clearly our industrial plants today are nothing like the smoke-filled plants our grandfather and great grandfathers worked in years ago. These lean and clean facilities offer stability and tremendous economic hope for our communities and the lives we build around them.

Map quest taking place around Champlain Bridge Visitors to Crown Point historic sites can win a commemorative coin

By Lohr McKinstry

lohr@suncommunitynews.com

CROWN POINT – Answer some riddles, follow a quest map, and poke around the Champlain Bridge to win a commemorative coin.

A British couple, Nicholas and Nicola Bell, with their baby, Poppy, were the first people to finish a new quest that links historic sites in Crown Point and Chimney Point, Vt. The family visiting from London followed clues on a quest map they got at the Lake Champlain Visitors Center and answered seven riddles to obtain the quest’s treasure, the commemorative coin.

“It was a great deal of fun,” Mrs. Bell said.

The Bridge Quest was developed through a partnership with the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership, Chimney Point State Historic Site, Crown Point State Historic Site, Lake Champlain Visitors Center and the Crown Point Reservation State Campground.

“The quest is an exciting way for people to experience the deep history and scenic beauty of this Lake Champlain Bridge area,” said Elsa Gilbertson of the Vermont Division for Historic Preservation, which manages the Chimney Point State Historic Site. “Chimney Point is

pleased to be a part of it. The coin is beautiful and should be a sought-after keepsake.”

The Quest Maps are available at the Lake Champlain Visitors Center, and at the two state historic sites.

“We are so excited that this challenge encourages visitors to further explore our Lake Champlain Bridge Heritage Area, and recognize many of its historically significant features,” said Suzanne Maye of the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, which operates the Lake Champlain Visitors Center on the New York side of the bridge.

Questers may also download the maps from the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership website: www.cvnhp. org.

At an easy pace, the quest takes about three hours to finish.

Once complete, questers can get their commemorative coin at the Lake Champlain Visitors Center.

“We look forward to distributing the Lake Champlain Heri-

tage Area Quest Map at Crown Point State Historic Site,” said Crown Point Historic Site Manager Michael Roets. “It will encourage visitors to move around the sites, to walk across the bridge, and enjoy the scenic beauty. It’s a fun way to explore the historic and archaeological resources of this area.”

Eric Howe, the director of the Lake Champlain Basin Program and the Champlain Valley National Heritage Partnership, said he’s looking forward to completing the quest with his 6-year-old son.

“He’s going to love finding the animals on the Champlain Memorial Lighthouse, seeing how many posts there are on the Chimney Point Tavern porch, and learning all about the historic forts,” Howe said.

Exploring state historic sites at Crown Point and Chimney Point, Vt., along with the Champlain Bridge, are part of a new map quest that even has a prize.

Got hydro? More dams for GMP

RUTLAND — Green Mountain Power announced that it has reached an agreement with Enel Green Power North America, Inc. (EGPNA) to purchase 14 small hydroelectric plants for a total installed capacity of 17 MW. These hydro plants are located in New England and will provide GMP customers with locally-generated, cost-effective energy. In addition, Green Mountain Power has reached two long-term power purchase agreements with EGP-NA for power from Sheldon, VT., and Ticonderoga, N.Y. The deal will create additional renewable resources in GMP’s energy portfolio.

GMP expects to sell a limited number of renewable energy credits from some of the plants to reduce costs for customers in the short term.

GMP has now filed for all state and federal regulatory approvals that will enable it to go forward with the agreement with EGP-NA. Green Mountain Power currently owns 32 hydro plants in Vermont.

www.addision-eagle.com

The addition of the 14 plants and the power purchase agreements adds enough energy to power 21,000 homes, and all together, more than half of the power is sourced from Vermont resources.

No injuries in New Haven accident

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

NEW HAVEN — On Sept. 21, Vermont State Police in New Haven received a report of a two car motor vehicle collision near the intersection of U.S. Route 7 and Hunt Road in New Haven.

Troopers arrived on scene and identified the first motorist as Kristin Mestyan, 50, of Fair Haven. Mestyan advised troopers that prior to the collision, she was travelling northbound on Route 7 bteween 15-20 mph.

Mestyan reported that she was slowing down due to road construction and that she briefly looked down to reach for a cup of coffee. Mestyan told troopers that when she looked up, she could see that the vehicle in front of her had stopped.

Mestyan told police that she attempted to stop, but rear-ended the vehicle in front of her. State Police identified the second motorist involved as Timothy Trombley, 55, of Leicester.

Trombley said that prior to the collision, he was stopped on Route 7 due to road construction. He stated that he was rear-ended by the vehicle behind him. Mestyan’s vehicle sustained moderate damage. Trombley’s vehicle also received minor rear damage.

No injuries were sustained as a result of the collision. No drugs or alcohol played a factor in the collision.

Bristol

Continued from page 1 landscape architect is Katie Raycroft-Meyer of Bristol, engineers include Lincoln Applied Geology of Lincoln and Dean Grover of Richmond, and construction management is

by Stewart Construction of Colchester.

The concept of cohousing began in liberal Denmark during the 1960s. While it may not be appealing to everyone, it has its special allure to more than a few of the Baby Boom generation now approaching retirement age.

According to Mendell, cohousing is “an intentional community” made up of private homes grouped along shared space. In the case of Bristol Cohousing, it will even include a mini village green and play area.

According to American cohousing architects Kathryn McCamant and Charles Durrett, “Each attached or single family home has traditional amenities, including a private kitchen.

Shared spaces typically feature a common house, which may include a large kitchen and dining area, laundry, and recreational spaces. Shared outdoor space may include parking, walkways, open space, and gardens. Neighbors also share resources like tools and lawnmowers.”

“We offer a variety of housing options,” Mendell told the Eagle, “from apartment style flats to attached townhouses to single family cottages. Unit sizes range from one to three bedrooms, from 880 to 1,530 square feet. All residences are arranged around a common green, promoting opportunities for casual interaction.”

The core of the new mini village is an existing, circa-1860s, 3,800 square feet Italianate-style house. This beautiful vintage downtown house will become the community’s Common House. A second 19th-century house will also be renovated and included in the mini-village plot.

“It will be available to all residents, for group meals, fun and educational activities, meetings and celebrations,” Mendell said of the Civil War-era house.

Gentle, low-impact living and solar power will make Bristol Cohousing easy on the local environment.

New construction is being built to Efficiency Vermont’s high performance energy standards, designed to save money—”and the planet too,” Mendell added.

“The central location means it’s walking distance for most of your daily chores—shopping, restaurants, schools, the post office—even the gym and yoga studio. The bus stop to other nearby towns is one block away. The LINK commuter bus goes to Burlington daily, too, “ Mendell noted.

As Mendell told the Eagle, the concept of cohousing offers individuals and families the chance to reside in their own homes, but with extensive common facilities.

“The presence of these shared amenities allows residents to live in a more compact space, with resulting lower construction and heating costs,” he said. “The shared facilities—Common House, a central village green and the like—creates more opportunities for interaction than a typical neighborhood.

Knowing your neighbors creates opportunities for sharing, mutual support, and community fun.”

Move-in to Bristol’s two-acre planned community is scheduled for April 2017.

Rutland County Humane Society

F

eral Cat Day is Oct. 16 but at the Rutland County Humane Society (RCHS), we want to take the opportunity to focus on and help feral cats and their care givers all week.

Rutland County is fortunate to have volunteers caring for hundreds of cats at feral cat colonies throughout the county every day. These volunteers love the cats and find great joy and satisfaction in knowing they are part of something worthwhile. RCHS will be holding a special donation drive Oct. 10-15 to support our community cat program.

Our community cat wish list includes dry cat food (any brand) and canned cat food (any brand). Donations can be dropped off at RCHS on Stevens Road in Pittsford in the donation bin outside the front door. Are you crafty? Do you want to get your kids involved? Visit http://www.alleycat. org/resources/feral-cat-shelter-options-gallery/ to view easy DIY instructions for creating winter shelters for community cats.

If you’d like to help fund the RCHS Trap-Neuter-Release program please send donations to RCHS, 765 Stevens Rd. in Pittsford with TNR in the memo line or visit www.rchsvt.org.

HOBBIT 1 Year Old. Neutered Male. Domestic Short Hair. Brown Tabby.

“I have a face and demeanor that most folks would fall in love with right away, so consider this a friendly forewarning. I arrived here in September after my previous family could no longer care for me.

I am looking forward to my next chapter in life.”

PIPER 5 year old. Spayed Female. Domestic Short Hair. Dilute tortoiseshell.

“I am a harlequin of pastel colors.

I arrived at the shelter in September after my previous owner was unable to care for me any longer. I am doing quite well here at the shelter, but boy do I get excited thinking about my new home. I have never been outdoors, so it will be important that I stay indoors with the lifestyle I am most accustomed to.”

PIGLET Adult. Male. American Crested Guinea Pig. Red. “I am laid back for the most part

Published by New Market Press, Inc.

and I look forward to bonding with my adoptive family. I will need an adjustment period after you first adopt me as changes can be hard for all of us. However, I am a resilient guy and I plan on being brave and bold when it comes to the next chapter in my life.”

COMET 7 Month Old. Neutered Male.

Labrador Retriever Mix. I’m an outgoing, friendly and handsome fella who enjoys being with people. I’m on the go and I’m looking for an active family that will take me on walks, hikes and other outdoor activities. I’m going to be a little bit of a project at first because I haven’t been very well socialized and new things and people tend to worry me. I’ll need a patient owner who will give me the time I need to relax, settle in and get to know my new family and surroundings at my own pace. Once I get used to people and places I’m silly and sweet.
