Stolen car parts

CASTLETON Ñ On Oct. 7, Rutland State Police received a theft complaint from a residence on Whipple Hollow Road in West Rutland.

The victim reported a NorthStar Honda generator and multiple Subaru car parts stolen to include a new set of 5-Zigen Pro Racer rims.

The rims were later found to have been sold by Shane Haven, 23, to a local business in the Castleton area but were re-sold out of state before the State Police could recover them. The generator was recovered after being sold by Shane to a different local business.

Haven was cited to appear in Rutland Superior Court on two charges of felony possession of stolen property. Shane is currently incarcerated at Marble Valley Regional Correctional Facility for a violation of probation.

He will be arraigned in Rutland Superior court on Jan. 11 to answer to his charges.

Police are looking to recover multiple items to include many Subaru WRX racing parts that were sold in the Rutland area by Haven in the months of September and October.

Vermont: carbon tax would add 88 cents to gallon of gas

By Michael Bielawski Vermont Watchdog Report

Shoreham woman arrested

SHOREHAM Ñ On Dec. 6, Vermont State Police troopers responded to a reported assault that had occurred at a residence located on Route 74 in Shoreham. Further investigation by police led to the arrest of Amanda Rogers-Wilson, 20, of Shoreham, for domestic assault and unlawful mischief. Rogers-Wilson was transported to Porter Medical Center in Middlebury due to an unrelated medical condition,. She was scheduled to appear in Addison District Court Dec. 7.

MONTPELIER Ñ As world leaders meet in Paris for talks on how to reduce climate change on the international level, a carbon tax debate is heating up in Montpelier — literally and figuratively.

On Thursday night, Vermonters will descend on the Capitol Plaza to hear the pros and cons of passing a carbon tax in Vermont.

Arguing for a new tax on gasoline, heating oil and other fossil fuels sold in the state are Paul Burns and Jon Erikson of the Vermont Public Interest Research Group, the stateÕ s top environmental advocacy group. Against the tax are Rob Roper and John McClaughry of the Ethan Allen Institute, the stateÕ s leading freemarket think tank.

The outcome of the debate could have a significant influence on policy makers. The Joint Energy Committee is reviewing two drafts of bills, H.412 and H.395, that would raise the tax

on gasoline by as much as 88 cents per gallon over a period of years. Legislative sponsors suggest starting at $10 per metric ton of CO2, adding about 9 cents to every gallon, and upping the figure annually until reaching the maximum $100 per ton Ñ the full 88 cent tax at the pump.

Backers say the tax would be revenue neutral since the plan is to use 90 percent of the revenue to cut other taxes. The other 10 percent would go to energy efficiency measures. At its maximum level, the tax could raise $500 million annually for the state.

State Rep. Tony Klein, D-East Montpelier, said in late 2014 Vermont could become the first state to implement the tax. He has since changed his outlook for this year but still supports the tax. Ò That was then, thatÕ s not now,Ó Klein told Vermont Watchdog. Ò The more people know, the more they will embrace it going forward. WeÕ re not there yet.

Ethan Allen’s: A cave heard ‘round the world

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com EditorÕ s Note: Last spring the Eagle first looked at the origin of the legend of Ethan AllenÕ s Cave, located above Lake Dunmore, in Salisbury. This week, we continue our look at this famous cave.

In their local history of Lake Dunmore, Salisbury residents James and Max PetersensÑ displaying a fine bit of whimsy— described the geological feature as Ò SomebodyÕ s CaveÓ . The cave is located on Camp Keewaydin land, on the Ethan Allen Trail, about one-quarter mile from the end of the Branbury State Park A portrait of Ethan Allen: The camping area, $10,000 question is how did the The Petersens wrote their de- great patriot and his boys get asfinitive history of Lake Dunmore sociated with the Lake Dunmore back in 1998. The coauthored “cave” in the first place? book, Ò Lord DunmoreÕ s LakeÓ , has remained in print since then and inspired a new generation to seek out local history and explore some of its landmarks and artifacts.

The Petersens were among the first to dig into the legend of Lake DunmoreÕ s most famous natural feature, Ethan AllenÕ s CaveÑ also known as WarnerÕ s Cave and Cave of the Green Mountain Boys.

While this writer wanted to give the local fascination with the cave some credence, when you seriously examine its history, and realize that itÕ s made up more of legend than of fact, youÕ ll likely come to the same conclusion after applying the principle of OccamÕ s RazorÑ itÕ s most likely NobodyÕ s Cave.

Over the decades, this cave, situated at the base of an enormous triangular, metamorphic erratic, has had various names and legends associated with it. To begin with, the feature is not a true solution or tectonic cave; it is a large cleft at the base of a massive boulder.

The Eagle’s Lou Varricchio stands at the tiny mouth of Ethan Allen’s Cave in June 2015.

While the cave may have been larger in the past, centuries of accumulation of forest floor duff and downslope debris have filled it in.

Today, itÕ s hard to imagine that a large man such as Ethan Al-

From the Editor

Carbon tax is spiteful, nefarious

O

ne of the most repulsive ideas weÕ ve ever encountered in the many years covering VermontÕ s oddball world of progressive green politics is the so-called carbon tax.

Vermonters need to look no further than this monthÕ s bills, or last monthÕ s workforce report, to know that the stateÕ s affordability crisis is real. Is it any wonder that middle-class working peopleÑ and young people—are fleeing the state in surprisingly large numbers?

For all the money we shell out to our tin-ear lawmakers in Montpelier, what do we getÑ as residentsÑ for our tax dollars? Not much unless you consider more taxes and a rapidly imploding job marketÑ and rising social welfare classÑ as a bargain. Vermont is looking less and less like the idyllic Green Mountain State pictured on postcards and more and more like a Democrat-built Hooverville.

Back to the DemocratsÕ odious carbon tax idea: We agree with the Vermont Republican Party’s opposition to the tax and flip our proverbial center finger at MontpelierÕ s Democrats for even thinking that a carbon tax is something worth seriously discussing.

After five years of unchecked Democrat Party rule in Montpelier, the costs of living and taxes have skyrocketed and the expanding burden of funding the services of government have shifted to fewer and fewer workers.

Vermont GOP chairman David Sunderland has made several public statements about the carbon-tax proposal and we concur with his thinking. A carbon tax will likely add up to 88 cents on a gallon of gasoline (and weÕ re not even including the tax added to heating oil). Read this weekÕ s Vermont Watchdog Report in the Eagle if youÕ d like to learn more about it.

According to Sunderland, Ò Vermont Democrats and their political allies like VPIRG have continued to deny the existence of an affordability crisis. They continue to insist on taking actions that drive costs higher and make Vermont less affordable for families, seniors, young people and businesses. ItÕ s no wonder the workforce is shrinking at the fastest rate in more than a decade.Ó Sunderland exposed the sobering fact that over two dozen Vermont Democrats are seriously considering raising the tax on gasoline by a staggering 88-cents per gallon; these same legislators also want to extend the tax to heating fuels and other carbon sources. Ò They have introduced two separate bills in the legislature to accomplish this task,Ó Sunderland told the Eagle. Ò a strong indicator of their resolve on this issue. And several members of the Democrat leadership, including the Speaker of the House, have indicated that it will be a multi-year discussion which is political double speak for Ô we know we canÕ t pass it in an election year.Õ Ó ItÕ s obvious how much less affordable our state will be if the two dozen legislators get their wayÑ you will pay an additional 88-cents per gallon for gasoline and heating oil.

Please let your legislator knowÑ loud and clearÑ that a carbon tax is both nefarious and vengeful for working Vermonters, like you and me.

Letters to the Editor GOLM To the Editor: As a lifelong resident of Rutland County, IÕ ve long appreciated the way this community works together when the chips are down, or when a challenge confronts us as a community. ItÕ s one of the reasons I love this time of year, when the greater Rutland area demonstrates its amazing sense of camaraderie at the Giftof-Life Marathon.

For the past 12 years, IÕ ve donated blood, volunteered to help and witnessed the selflessness of the people of our community. IÕ ve watched grandmothers, moms with their first-time donor teenaged son or daughter donate alongside police officers, nurses, construction workers, linemen, teachers, lawyers, doctors, students and firefighters.

IÕ ve seen things that moved me each time, including couples on their first date last year at Castleton University, school aged students wanting to be a part of something bigger by volunteering their time, and every high school within a 30 mile radius volunteering together to make the event a huge success. The drive has given me memories that IÕ ll cherish forever, while giving blood recipients not only memories, but the opportunity to create new memories thanks to the gift of life they received from an anonymous donor.

As the 2015 GOLM Ð 12 Days of Giving approaches, IÕ ve already made my appointment to donate and found several opportunities to volunteer. ItÕ s my way of welcoming the holiday season, giving back to my community and giving a gift to pay forward.

Issue divide

e can talk all we want about how to best address these repeated mass killing events, but our leaders continue to miss the most important step.

You do not build a house or construct a childÕ s Christmas toy in one simple step. You start at the base and work your way to the finish. It requires different tools and skills to address each unique aspect. It also requires patience and the recognition of time while Dan Alexander paying close attention to the directions.

Thoughts from These soft target killing sprees must stop Behind the Pressline and our leaders repeatedly make the same mistake every single time by using them to promote their political agendas and vow to put Ò ourÓ arms around an issue that is just too big to address with only one approach.

Ask yourself, what have any of our leaders done to address these issues in the last 25 years, except talk and blame the other party for their failure for not building bi-partisan consensus on the other side?

First and foremost we need to keep dangerous people away from destructive weapons of all types. We know that potential weapons today include not just guns but knives, cars, planes, explosives, poisons, gases, alcohol & drugs, unstable people, and in some cases even religion.

We know most of those items by themselves are valuable everyday items in our lives but when mixed incorrectly or used by misdirected individuals they can and have become deadly.

You can not address all those items and the many more IÕ ve neglects to include with one approach. It requires us to divide the issues and address each individually, the same way you construct a home, build a shelving unit or put together a childÕ s toyÉ . One focused step at a time.

I learned a long time ago when taking over troubled businesses; you do your best to set priorities and try to fix one thing each day. After many days you’ve made headway. After many months you are on your way to solving problems. After many years your efforts begin to pay dividends.

Unfortunately, there will always be more problems to solve and in order to keep the dividends flowing, the same process must continually be applied to the new problems that will undoubtedly arise in the future.

We will not solve these problems or any that face us by complaining or arguing about them. All parties must accept the fact that definitive action is required. It takes a total commitment and a willingness to compromise.

First, we need a leader, with a rationale plan that others will buy into as the solution to begin addressing the many issues we face. Like anything in life, identifying and accepting the root cause of the problem is the first step towards solving it.

Mistakes will be made along the way and more incidents will occur that we must learn from, but most important is to stay focused on the goal and follow the plan.

Until we start down the road to responsibly recognize the problem and seriously address it, things will only get worse. We can continue to vilify each other, point fingers and continue to feel helpless or we can try what’s worked for us in the past.

Any battle weÕ ve ever won was won by America, not by either political party.

CCC creates three new scholarships One scholarship aimed at drawing more students from Vermont

By Teah Dowling

teah@suncommunitynews.com

PLATTSBURGH Ñ Clinton Community College recently approved three new school scholarships for the spring and fall 2016 semesters.

The scholarships are designed as incentives for non Clinton County residents to attend the school and provide greater access to the facilitiy. Ò Clinton has always been a sound economic option for students,Ó CCCÕ s Interim President Frederick Smith said. Ò These new scholarships enable us to assist even more students in getting a college education.Ó ANY NYS COUNTY The Academic Excellence Scholarship is a full-tuition scholarship for high-achieving high school graduates in all of New York State, in comparison to the similar Presidential Scholarship which is only for students in Clinton, Hamilton and St. Lawrence and Saratoga counties.

This scholarship will cover unpaid tuition after grants such as TAP and other tuition specific scholarships have been applied.

Students will be responsible for fees, textbooks and supplies.

Students who achieve a 90 or better GPA in a Regents program by the end of their junior year of high school are eligible.

Students must enroll in Clinton in the fall or spring semester immediately following their graduation.

There is an application process and students will be selected based on the quality of their application.

Awarded students may receive the scholarship for up to two years of consecutive study so long as they earn a minimum semester GPA of 2.75 in the first semester and retain a minimum semester GPA of 3.25 for the semesters following.

Along with the Presidential Scholarship and Vermont Academic Excellence Scholarship, this award is designed to attract and bring higher achieving students to CCC. Ò We have a lot to offer students looking for an academically challenging experience,Ó Smith said. Ò We value having higherachieving students in our classrooms.Ó VERMONT STUDENTS ONLY The Vermont Academic Excellence Scholarship is available to high-achieving Vermont high school students who chose to attend Clinton.

Almost similar to the Academic Excellence Scholarship, this

scholarship brings the out-of-state tuition Ñ $9,200 Ñ to the instate level Ñ $4,200. Ò This scholarship is designed to see if we can drawn in more students from Vermont,Ó said Gina Brightwell, CCC associate director of college relations. Ò WeÕ re hoping by offering this added incentive that we will get more students.Ó To be eligible, students must be graduating in June from high school and enrolling in August or the following January, have a cumulative average of 3.5 or above at the end of their junior year.

Continuation of the scholarship is the same as the Academic Excellence Scholarship.

NON-TRADITIONAL STUDENTS ELIGIBLE

The Technology Scholarship is a full-tuition scholarship available to students entering into one of ClintonÕ s seven technology AAS programs: computer information systems, computer technology, electrical technology, mechanical technology, renewable energy technologies and wind energy and turbine technology.

The scholarship is available for traditional and non-traditional high school graduates in the state.

There is an application process and students will be selected based on the quality of their application.

Awarded students will be able to receive their scholarship for up to two years of consecutive study so long as they earn a minimum semester GPA of 2.5 each semester.

All other qualifications are the same as the other two scholarships. Ò The Technology Scholarship is particularly exciting as Clin-

Clinton Community College is now offering three new scholarships for the spring and fall 2016 semesters for both New York State students and Vermont students.

tonÕ s technology programs are part of what really sets this college apart from others,Ó Smith said. Ò With the new manufacturing institute underway, this opens the doors for a lot of students considering one of our programs.Ó All three scholarships are currently open and available to students for the upcoming spring 2016 semester.

The number of awards for each scholarship is yet to be determined.

For more information, contact the admissions office at 518562-4170 or admissions@clinton.edu.

Pet incident investigated in Hinesburg

By Gail Callahan

Special to the Eagle HINESBURG Ñ During November, two Hinesburg pet owners discovered suspicious containers of liquids in nearby woods that could potentially harm pets if consumed.

Cans of cut-down soup in woods near her neighborhood cans were discovered by a Hinesburg resident, who owns a cat.

The woman said the bright, green liquid was antifreeze.

If an animal drinks the fluid, it suffers kidney failure. Meanwhile, another Hinesburg resident found additional cans that likely contained the mixture. In all, nearly one dozen cans were discovered.

The first discovery f the poison occurred between Champlain Valley Union High School and Lake Iroquois.

According to the Humane Society of the United StatesÕ web site, antifreeze can taste sweet to animals when consumed. If a pet does ingest the liquid, symptoms can first appear 30 minutes to one hour after an animal sipped the fluid. If immediate veterinary care is received, the animal can make a successful recovery. If the animal goes untreated, coma and death can occur.

Hinesburg Community Police became aware of the incidents through Facebook postings.

Police have urged residents to contact them if any additional cans were discovered.

Since the initial report, the Hinesbury P.D.Õ s Facebook page hasnÕ t logged any additional complaints about the issue.

woodland gnomes.

True, the area around Lake Dunmore is rich in human history. Indian artifacts are common in the area, especially along the Leicester River flowing out of the lake; native people camped and fished along Dunmore’s shores for at least 8,000 years before white men arrived in the area.

This much has been verified by the Petersens: When the first settlers arrived in Salisbury and explored the east side of Lake Dunmore, they reported Native activity at the rock shelter including a wooden structure attached to the cave.

According to the Petersens, Ò It is equally probable that in those years prior to, and during, settlement of the state, trappers, hunters, and surveyors knew of the cave on the mountainside above the east shore of Lake Dunmore and used it as a meeting place or lodging for the night.Ó So, the $10,000 question is how the great patriot Ethan Allen and his Boys got associated with the cave in the first place.

In the course of their research, the Petersens encountered an obscure adventure-romance, titled Ò The Green Mountain BoysÓ

by Middlebury College alumnus Daniel Pierce Thompson, published in 1839 in Montpelier. The book was popular for many years, but after it went out of print in 1912, its memoryÑ told down the years by fathers and mothers to young boys and girls by campfires—helped create the cave’s enduring legend.

While a student in Middlebury between the years 1817 and 1820, ThompsonÑ at least as the Petersens tell itÑ enjoyed hiking around Addison County. In those years, several of the early settlers, while in advanced years, were still living. Armed with a collection of their oral tales of VermontÕ s frontier days, Thompson penned his story of the American Revolution along Lake Dunmore.

Of course, too many years have passed now to know if Thompson’s book included a bona fide historical backstory (the author did talk with eyewitnesses of the war and the years leading up to it, so there may be an element of veracity there), but it goes something like this: Just before shots were fired at Breed’s Hill in Boston, a posse led by New York Sheriff John Munro set out from the west to find the rebellious Green Mountain Boys. Munro and his men wanted to collect a bounty on the head of treasonous Seth Warner, the BoysÕ leader. Apparently, at the lake they were joined by other Tories from nearby New Haven.

Seth Warner, Ethan Allen and the Boys, we are told, used the cave above the lake as a rendezvous site; they may have plotted some of their rebellious acts against the British Crown in its wide, dark chamber.

According to the Petersens retelling of ThompsonÕ s story, Ò ...

Sheriff Munro and three of his cohorts were thrown into the lake and then chased off into the darkness while a fifth man, Justus Sherwood, a Tory from New Haven, was captured and on the following morning soundly whipped by the Green Mountain Boys for his sins against the (local) settlers...Ó We wonÕ t spoil the plot for any would be readersÑ assuming you can locate a copy of this rare book—but suffice it to say our patriotic heroes defeated SherwoodÕ s band of New Haven Tories in a gunfight along the Otter Creek probably somewhere near Three Mile Bridge Road in MiddleburyÕ s Farmingdale district, near pioneer Ann StoryÕ s cabin site.

Regardless of the surviving Addison County pioneers who may have inspired Thompson to write Ò The Green Mountain BoysÓ , thereÕ s no record of Seth Warner, let alone Ethan Allen, ever having visited the cave above Lake Dunmore.

Sometimes fact becomes stranger than fiction, especially when, in the early 1900s, members of the Daughters of the American Revolution inscribed the rock above the cave entrance with the following: Ò The Cave of the Green Mountain Boys in whose honor this stone is marked by Lake Dunmore Chapter DAR of Brandon 1906.Ó Today, DARÕ s rock inscription is slowly eroding away and in a few decades, it will vanish completelyÑ perhaps, as well, the romance of Ethan AllenÕ s Cave.

Vermont: Labor market weak

By Bruce Parker

Vermont Watchdog Report CASTLETON Ñ Despite a recent upbeat national jobs report, Vermont’s state economist says the jobs market faces significant headwinds in the Green Mountain State.

The U.S. Department of Labor on Friday released an upbeat monthly jobs report report showing the economy added 271,000

www.addison-eagle.com jobs in October. The number was well above the 185,000 jobs projected for the month.

The national unemployment rate, which declined slightly to 5 percent, marked an improvement over September, in which the market added just 142,000 new jobsÑ60,000 l ower than expected.

The number of Americans not participating in the labor force improved slightly to 94,513,000, up from 94,610,000 in September.

But with 62.4 percent of the civilian noninstitutional population holding a job or actively seeking one, the labor force participation rate continued to hover at a 38-year low.

In Vermont, where September unemployment ticked up onetenth to 3.7 percent, unemployment insurance claims are on the rise, jumping to 600 new claims at the end of October Ñ up from about 325 new claims in mid-September.

The stateÕ s two-year umemployment trend is virtually unchanged relative to New England states, which has seen a 2.2 percent improvement since 2013, declining from about 6.8 percent down to 4.6 percent.

Tom Kavet, economist for the Vermont Legislature, said analysts have to look at a range of labor and demographic data to figure out where the state’s economy is heading. ÒW e have very few indicators at the state level that give us a read on whatÕ s happening on a timely basis,Ó Kavet told Vermont Watchdog. ÒT he reason the unemployment rate is important is not that itÕ s measuring labor markets perfectly, or giving you a perfect picture of whatÕ s happening in a labor market; itÕ s a proxy for a lot of other indicators in the economy that, over a long period of time, it

Published by New Market Press, Inc. tracks in a coincident way. ItÕ s not a leading indicator.Ó Contrary to popular thought, the official unemployment rate Ñ called U-3 unemployment Ñ is not the percentage of people out of work. The number measures only a small subset of jobless Americans Ñ civilians who say they actively sought a job in the past four weeks.

People not counted in the unemployment rate include those whoÕ ve given up looking for work (discouraged workers), people who looked for work at some time in the past year (marginally attached workers), and people who want full time work but canÕ t find it due to economic reasons.

While the unemployment rate is useful for making relative comparisons of economic performance between states, Kavet said, economists need to Òl ook under the coversÓ to see whatÕ s really taking place.

Other key data points economists study include employment and the labor participation rate, as well as demographic trends Ñ each having its own limitations, Kavet said.

VermontÕ s employment number has declined since the Great Recession. In 2007, the state counted 338,096 Vermonters with jobs.

That number dropped to 334,500 in September. Kavet says while employment data is helpful for tracking increases and decreases in the number of jobs, the statistic doesnÕ t distinguish between partand full-time work. ÒI f thereÕ s a shift toward more part-time work, which there has been in Vermont, you could get more jobs but not necessarily more hours,Ó h e said.

A companion to the employment number is the labor force participation rate, which tallies together employed and unemployed stats as a percentage of the total working-age population. In August, the Green Mountain StateÕ s total working-age population was 515,472. Of that number, about 67.7 percent was either employed or unemployed but looking for work in past four weeks.

VermontÕ s labor force participation rate has also dropped since the Great Recession Ñ d own from 70.1 percent in 2007.

Kavet says the labor force participation rate, which counts everyone above age 16 to arrive at the working-age population, has weaknesses as well. ÒT he problem is people over 65 are not really working, so you donÕ t want that in the denominator. And people age 15 to 20 are not often working that much É so you donÕ t have the same expectation for employment that you do with people in prime employable age groups that are more in the middle,Ó h e said.

The number does capture people who have simply dropped out yet are not counted in the unemployment rate. Ò( There are) a bunch of 20and 30-something-year-olds who typically would be more out there engaged in the job market and in home-buying markets and other things, but are living with parents,Ó Kavet said. ÒY ou could call them slackers, but if theyÕ re happy living on less, or on whatever they have, and they can live, itÕ s a life choice.Ó The labor force participation rate in Vermont may signal a bad economy, but Kavet says it is just as much a product of the stateÕ s concerning demographic trends. ÒW eÕ ve had this drop in participation thatÕ s been a function of the bad economy, and we have an aging population in general, which is going to skew the numbers for a while until the baby boom population bulge moves through entirely into retirement.Ó According to the state of VermontÕ s ÒS cenario BÓ population projections for the years 2010-2030, the Green Mountain State is set to lose Vermonters, declining from 625,741 in 2010 to 620,480 in 2030. As seen in the chart, with the exception of the 35-39 age bracket, every working-age demographic is set to shrink over the next 15 years. Age groups above 65 are on track to increase anywhere between 53 percent and 118 percent.

While the the scenario B projection assumes the continuation of a weak economy, a shrinking working-age population means employers can expect a shrinking pool of young talent.

Kavet said for those who remain in Vermont in the years ahead, income growth will be vitally important. Unfortunately, the economist sees little to cheer about in the stateÕ s income growth numbers. ÒT hatÕ s whatÕ s really been stagnant.

When you look at inflationadjusted incomes for most of the population É you see zero or negative real income growth.

That’s a reflection of more troubling issues.Ó Contact Bruce Parker at bparker@watchdog.org

omeward Bound, Addison CountyÕ s Humane Society, is pleased to announce their annual Lights of Love program - this is not your average holiday memory tree! This tree honors the pets we have loved, and the ones that are still here to brighten our days.

Homeward Bound executive director, Jessica Danyow, is proud of this unique tradition. Ò We believe we are the only organization in Vermont to offer the opportunity to honor a lost or living pet during the holiday season with a memory tree program. Pets

Published by New Market Press, Inc. are incredibly important to their owners and most consider them to be family members. WeÕ re pleased to offer our Lights of Love program as we know people appreciate the chance to celebrate the pets who so profoundly enhance their lives with joy and companionship each and every day of the year.Ó Individuals may purchase a colored light to honor a living pet or a white light to remember a pet who has passed. A donation of $3 is requested for each light.

The shelter is hosting a tree lighting and open house Dec. 15 from 6-8 p.m., however donations to the Lights of Love effort will be accepted all month via the shelterÕ s website (www.homewardboundanimals.org), by phone at 802-388-1100 ext. 224, or in person at 236 Boardman St. in Middlebury.

Pets: DulcŽ the cat absolutely loves to be scratched under her chin, on her belly and head, and loves to be picked up so she can rest on your shoulders. She is a very petite and with no tail, she looks even smaller. Her favorite things to do are to explore and cuddle. She is a true love bug and would be an amazing companion for anyone looking for a loving lap cat. Come meet this special girl today, she is ready to find her forever home.

Vermont Watchdog Report From page 1

Everybody knows that there will be no carbon tax bill seriously moved forward in any way, shape or form this session.Ó Matt Cota, executive director of the Vermont Fuel Dealers Association, says such a tax is regressive and would cripple the economy. Ò The idea É propagated by the advocates that this would be revenue neutral is quite simply a fairy tale,Ó said Cota. Ò The idea that you can add a dollar a gallon to the cost of getting your kids to school, a dollar a gallon to the cost of heating your home, that you can somehow supplement that with income rebate checks of $200, which is what they proposed, is preposterous.Ó Speaking of H.412, Cota said it would have a substantial effect on all major fuel costs. This includes 58 cents a gallon for propane and $1.02 a gallon for heating oil and diesel fuel. He said most or all of the cost would find its way to the working class. Ò ThereÕ s a clever slogan that the pro-carbon tax lobby has proposed, which is that Ô the polluters pay.Õ Well guess who the polluters are? The polluters are everyone that drives a car, that goes to work, that heats their home.Ó Asked if more subsidies for renewables would be costly to taxpayers, Klein was quick to call out federal subsidies for nonrenewables. Ò You have it written into federal statute that oil and coal are

www.addision-eagle.com subsidized,Ó he said. Ò You have subsidies built in. Do you think the private market would build a nuclear plant without a 100 percent guarantee from the federal government?Ó Estimates on U.S. subsidies for non-renewables range from $10 billion to $52 billion annually. Tim Worstall, writing for Forbes, reports that renewables get 25 times more subsidies than nonrenewables per BTU of energy. Ò I would be very happy to eliminate all subsidies and let every generation live on its own means,Ó said Klein. Ò I am thoroughly convinced that you would see the clean generation sources rise to the top of the heap.Ó Some opponents question whether a carbon tax in Vermont would have any impact on CO2 levels in the atmosphere. In a radio interview posted on YouTube, British journalist and political adviser Christopher Monckton analyzed a nationwide carbon tax proposed by U.S. Sens. Bernie Sanders and Barbara Boxer that aimed to cut total U.S. carbon emissions 11 percent by 2023.

Citing he U.N. International Panel on Climate ChangeÕ s own estimates, Monckton said this would account for a drop in total atmospheric carbon Ñ from 422 parts per million to 421.5, or .1 percent.

That means Vermont, which contributes just 1.8 percent of U.S. carbon output, would make nearly zero impact. Were Vermont to attempt a similar 10 percent reduction proposed in the national carbon tax bill, its efforts would account for a .0018 drop in atmospheric carbon.

The Vermont Eagle • December 12, 2015 | 15 Klein responded to the idea that VermontÕ s carbon cuts could be insignificant. Ò I donÕ t think anyone is saying that we can reverse this trend next year or the year after but, certainly, as you lessen the impact, the severity of the results will hopefully level off also.Ó

Guest Viewpoint

Gov. Shumlin’s trip to the Paris climate conference A

n open letter to Vermont Gov. Peter Shumlin: I write on behalf of Vermonters who are working harder often at multiple jobs, for longer hours simply to make a wage that allows them to pay their rent or mortgage, fill their gas tanks, pay their bills and taxes, and put food on their table.

As you know and as the most recent workforce report clearly shows many Vermonters are frustrated and leaving the workforce, or moving out of state. In fact, there are 14,300 fewer Vermonters in our state’s workforce than when you first took office and your Democrats took total control of state government just 5years ago. The number of employed Vermonters has dropped by 6,100 in that same period.

Your administration also announced on Tuesday that, just 5months into the new fiscal year, Vermont is facing another $40million budget deficit. Your team also informed legislators that they will confront an astounding $58million deficit for next year. We think both numbers will continue to balloon.

And now, just days after once again promising Vermonters that the healthcare exchange, Vermont Health Connect, was fully functional, it was revealed that Vermonters are still being randomly dropped from the program at no fault of their own and that it takes your program days, and sometimes weeks, to get them reenrolled.

In light of the many problems your administration has created, many Vermonters are puzzled, even angered, by the recent revelation that next week you will leave Vermont to attend a global climate change conference in Paris, France. While we can appreciate why you would want to leave your many problems behind for a few days, thatÕ s not leadership. And itÕ s certainly not the job you were narrowly reelected to do.

It is not necessary for you to attend this meeting. It would be far more economical and far more environmentally responsible

to send your thoughts in writing or attend by video conference.

YouÕ ve frequently touted the stateÕ s telecommunication advances you should be taking advantage of them now.

If, however, you continue to insist that this international conference requires the presence of VermontÕ s governor, Vermonters deserve to know the answers to the following: ● How much carbon pollution will be created from your flights to and from Paris? Do you have plans to personally offset this carbon pollution? ● Who is paying for all elements of your trip to Paris? In light of the state’s fiscal challenges and the struggles of working families, you owe it to Vermonters to itemize the cost of this trip and note who is paying. That itemization should include automobile travel, airfare, lodging, meals, security, entertainment, etc. for you and any traveling companions. How large is your entourage? ● Are you bringing any personal friends or relatives? If so, how can this be fairly characterized as an “official” trip? ● Will you disclose discussions you may have about future employment with any federal agencies associated with this trip? ● Finally, we also understand that in addition to yourself and any of your traveling companions, that your Secretary of Natural Resources Deb Markowitz will also be personally attending the conference in Paris to educate world leaders about bicycles and other nonmotorized transportation in Vermont. Please also answer each of the questions above for her travel.

In this holiday season, we urge you to give Vermonters the gift of leadership and elect to have both you and Secretary Markowitz participate in the Paris conference using economically and environmentally responsible alternatives that do not waste depleted taxpayer resources.

In the spirit of transparency and VermontÕ s legal requirement

for disclosure of public records, we look forward to your prompt reply.
