RUTLAND — Following months of delay, the U.S. Committee for Refugees and Immigrants has responded to the Rutland Board of Aldermen’s letter seeking answers about the city’s refugee program.

In October, board members sent a letter to USCRI and the Vermont Refugee Resettlement Program asking for details about Rutland’s suitability as a refugee relocation site. The board also asked to be included in future discussions and decisions.

While USCRI’s Dec. 2 response does not address a role for the Board of Aldermen, USCRI President Lavinia Limon provided information about employment, housing and English language learning.

Citing VTJobLink and Craigslist, Limon said Rutland shows promise for providing housing and jobs for incoming refugees.

“While we cannot know for sure the education or professional background of newcomers, many accept initial job placements far below their education to support their families,” she wrote.

VRRP has not responded to the aldermen’s letter. Last month, at Rutland’s first public meeting with stakeholders, VRRP was unable to provide many details about English language services needed for preschool and elementary-age refugees.

“I was somewhat disappointed in the lack of a clear answer for the preschool providers about funding for the youngest level of refugee students,” Board of Aldermen Continued on page 15

Local schools serve-up new cafeteria cuisine

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com

MONKTON — It was farewell to Mystery Meat and “pink slime” at three local school cafeterias last week. While stereotypical lunchroom gunk is the stuff of schoolyard legend, students at the Addison County public elementary schools recently enjoyed taste-testing new lunch offerings that went a long way to reenergizing even the most jaded of young palates.

Three teams of New England Culinary Institute (NECI) student chefs traveled to Monkton Central School, Beeman Elementary School, and Lincoln

Community School.

Pupils at the three schools were in for a real treat when the NECI chefs arrived to coordinate tasting sessions of their self-described “New-Style” cafeteria food.

The recipes used seasonal regional foods to create healthy, kid-friendly dishes to serve in the school cafeteria.

The NECI college-level student chefs visited the cafeterias to showcase their publication, “New School Cuisine: Nutritious Seasonal Recipes for School Cooks by School Cooks”.

The teams served six new recipes to students during their Continued on page 15

Weybridge teen earns national 4-H judge’s post

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

WEYBRIDGE — Earlier this fall, Addy Parsons of Weybridge received some very good news when she was chosen to be a dairy contest judge at the National 4-H Dairy Cattle Judging Contest in Madison, Wis. The national dairy judging contest was held in conjunction with the World Dairy Exposition.

Parsons received the K. Stewart Gibson Award, given in memory of the long-time University of Vermont (UVM) Extension dairy specialist, to help offset her trip expenses to Wisconsin.

Prsons earned the spot on the state team for her outstanding individual scores in 4-H dairy judging events this past year.

Parsons was joined by three other Vermont 4-H Club members as part of the national judging panel.

Comprising the Vermont dairy

judging team were Parsons, Cole Goodhue of Fairfield, Maggie Kirby of East Montpelier, and Jacob Patenaude of Holland.

According to UVM’s Lisa Halvorsen, “Vermont placed 19th overall and 13th for oral reasons. The team came in 14th in Ayrshire, 17th in Brown Swiss and 24th in Guernsey breed classes. In both Holsteins and Jerseys they placed 18th.”

“Addy Parsons finished in 27th place overall judging Ayrshires,” Halvorsen added.

“On the two days preceding the competition, practice sessions for all teams were held at five area farms including the Hoard’s Dairyman Magazine’s registered Guernsey farm.

The 4-Hers also toured the National Dairy Shrine Museum and Nasco International in Fort Atkinson, Wis.,” according to Wendy Sorrell, UVM Extension 4-H livestock educator.

Paying for public education: Tax increases coming

By Lou Varricchio

lou@suncommunitynews.com

MIDDLEBURY — Mary Peterson, the Vermont Commissioner of Taxes, has released her annual forecast—a document required by state law—which projects education “tax yields” and “rates” for the upcoming fiscal year of 2017.

An increase of 2.35 percent in taxes will be borne by the state’s three types of taxpayers—homestead property, income, and nonresidential property taxpayers, according to the commissioner’s office.

“Using the rates and yields as estimated for

this letter, the median tax bill is expected to increase by 2.35 percent,” Candace Morgan, director of outreach for the Department of Taxes, told the Eagle.

“The nonresidential tax rate is going up by a penny and a half,” Morgan explained.

“Both the homestead and income yields are projected to go up, which means that a town’s tax rates will actually be lower than last year if that town were to maintain the same per pupil spending—because per pupil spending/yield equals the rate. However, since incomes, property values, and school spending are expected to be higher than last year in most towns, education property tax bills will generally be going up and the median tax bill

statewide is projected to go up by about 2.35 percent.”

Commissioner Peterson confirmed that her forecasts indicate that most school districts will increase spending through fiscal year 2018.

“The impact of the projected yields/rate on the bottom line of one’s education property tax bill depends on a district’s locally voted spending and whether the individual taxpayer’s income or property value has increased,” she said.

Peterson’s office provided historical and political background on the increases: •Act 46 of 2015 changed the structure of the annual forecasting requirement; this is

Local ‘Messiah Sing’ starts holiday season

the second year of the new structure.

•Act 46 set the homestead property rate in statute at $1 per $100 of equalized education property value. Similarly, the rate for those paying on income is set at 2 percent.

“It is important to remember that decisions made at the local level are still the primary factor in determining education tax rates in each town,” Peterson said. “Taxpayers may see more significant changes due to those local decisions.”

The Vermont Commissioner of Taxes’ forecasts are a joint effort between the Agency of Education, Department of Taxes, Department of Finance and Management, and Joint Fiscal Office.

N.Y. man dies on Killington ski trail

Pictured: On Sunday, Dec. 18, at 2 p.m., the annual Middlebury “Messiah Sing” will be performed and conducted by Jeff Rehbach. Singers and players gather each December for a joyful reading and rendering of selections from Handel’s Messiah.

MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury Congregational Church once again hosts the area’s annual “Messiah Sing” that attracts hundreds of singers and players from throughout Addison County, and the extended Champlain Valley region each year. Jeff Rehbach, conductor of the Middlebury College Community Chorus, leads the singalong of this famous work by George Frederic Handel for choir and orchestra.

Come join friends and neighbors for a joyous afternoon of community music-making at the Middlebury Congregational Church, beginning at 2:00 pm on Sunday, December 18. Singers, instrumentalists and all who enjoy music are warmly welcomed to sing and play, or simply to watch and listen. A $5 contribution ($10/family) is requested

at the door.

This year’s reading continues the tradition of featuring soloists drawn from Middlebury and other communities throughout Vermont, including Leila McVeigh, Grace Weber, Jim Wright, Joe McVeith, Adam Hall, and Erin Grainger. Solo numbers will be accompanied by string players from nearby towns and villages: Molly Bidwell, Carole Fenn, Hilary Hatch, and Emily Sunderman. Harpsichord maker Robert Hicks, Jr. of Lincoln, VT provides one his fine hand-crafted keyboard instruments, played by Jenny Bower, organist at the Vergennes Congregation Church.

A listing of chorus works may be found on the community chorus web page at go.middlebury.edu/messiah-sing.

In December 1984, Middlebury’s first

Messiah Sing took place. Nearly every year since then, the Messiah Sing has become a joyous community event, now attracting singers and orchestra players who arrive at the historic Congregational Church to make music together on the Sunday afternoon before Christmas each year.

Chorus music and orchestra parts (for strings, oboe/flute, bassoon, and trumpets in C) are provided, as we read many of the finest choruses from this beloved oratorio. If you have your own copy of the Messiah, please bring it along. If you plan to play in the orchestra, please bring a music stand and arrive fifteen minutes early.

The Middlebury Community Chorus provides refreshments for all to enjoy during intermission.

KILLINGTON — The Vermont State Police and Office of the Chief Medical Examiner are investigating the death of William P. Cusano, 65, of Dutchess County, N.Y., at the Killington Ski Resport.

Cusano was considered to be an experienced skier, according to Killington officials.

Cusano was found collapsed on an intermediate ski trail at the Killington Ski Resort on Dec. 10, at 2:32 p.m.

Cusano was transported the Rutland Regional Medical Center where he was later pronounced dead at 3:44 p.m.

A police report noted that, “There was no indication that Cusano had been involved in a crash while skiing and his death appears to have been a natural event.”

A police report noted that Cusano was being examined at the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner to determine the cause of death.

While ski-related deaths on Vermont slopes have been declining since the controversial 2013-14 winter season, Cusano’s death—not attributed to a trail crash—still came as a shock to both family and resort officials.

Publisher’s Column

All of the above From the editor Despite all of the over-the-top emotional turmoil over the election of Donald Trump for U.S. president, the 2016 Republican Party platform provided an early insight into the Trump agenda; the GOP appears to embrace climate and energy realism here in the USA. H. Sterling Burnett of the Heartland Institute is an outspoken critic of the Obama administration’s climate change-driven energy policy.

During the GOP’s national convention during the summer, a Sirius XM radio broadcast I happened to tune in—live—from the conventional hall in Cleveland, included some of Burnett’s commentary on the topic.

“Republicans... embrace an ‘all-of-the-above’ energy policy, in contrast to the Democratic Party’s platform, which calls for moving beyond the ‘all of the above’ energy approach because of]the urgency of climate change as a central challenge of our time,” Burnett said. “On this topic, Republicans seem to get it right and the Democrats, wrong. Terrorism, economic malaise, crime, trade, and border control are pressing issues in need of prompt, effective responses. Futile attempts to control the weather 100 years from now come nowhere near that level of urgency.”

At the time, Burnett noted that the Republican Party platform had placed a big priority on energy production.

Why should there be an emphasis on energy production in order to make America great again?

As most 21st-century leaders will tell you, energy is a strategic economic and national security issue; this fact had alluded the Obama administration since 2009.

The architects of the enormous GOP win in 2016 crafted the idea that enactment of national policies which will increase domestic energy production—from gas to peaceful nuclear—are vital for jump-starting the nation.

For western state such as Wyoming and eastern states such as West Virginia and Kentucky the 2016 GOP win was good news; the GOP will likely reverse the Obama administration’s “war on coal” to include a new approach to coal, with a special emphasis on clean-coal technology which had been sent to the back of the national energy policy bus since the 1980s.

Why would any nation design a shut down of an entire industrial-energy sector? This is the kind of short-sighted, feel-good policy making we’ve come to expect here in Vermont.

America can produce clean coal by employing U.S. solvent-refined coal technology which dates to the early 1980s—and which began with the hearty blessings of then President Jimmy Carter (D).

Having worked as a technical writer, briefly, in the SRC technology sector, I know that SRC can help eliminate much of coal’s odious, polluting contents. With that said, the United States is the Saudi Arabia of fossilized plant deposits—coal, Earth’s original biofuel.

The USA has coal resources of over 262 billion tons, enough to last well beyond over two centuries. Much of that coal can be scrubbed clean of pollutants and C02 reduced to a minimum at the stack.

According to energy expert Monte Hiebhen, “Long after the rest of the world’s coal, petroleum and natural gas reserves have run out, America will still have enough coal to satisfy its energy needs.”

Back to Burnett’s energy policy comments— “Republicans promise to preserve and expand the conveniences made possible by a modern electric power system run largely on relatively inexpensive fossil fuels, while Democrats say they actually want to put it all at risk.”

On Nov. 8 of this year, “all of the above” was the energy path selected by voters as America’s energy destiny, at least for the foreseeable future.

Respect and understanding

rom New York to California, Iowa to Louisiana, and Georgia earlier this week high-profile shootings this year have robbed Americans of men and women that have sworn to protect their communities.

What seems like daily news reports of officers being shot and ambushed must never become just another daily occurrence and something that we hear so often we become immune to the shock of it.

Those who choose to commit acts have no respect for themselves, our laws and certainly no respect for Dan Alexander life itself. We must get to the root of the issues that Thoughts from cause these frequent events and seek solutions for Behind the Pressline the good of all.

Fear, as we all know, is a powerful motivator, and for those who feel oppressed perhaps this seems like a way of getting attention or even a noble act, but nothing could be farther from the truth.

Fear works on both sides of these issues to create doubt, anxiety and only serves to make matters far worse.

The world is dangerous enough but these senseless attacks here in this country seem to be more than random or isolated displays of brutality now affecting not only law enforcement officers, but EMTs, firefighters and other public servants, who fearlessly answer the call to duty each day.

Nations understand strategic, conventional warfare when a nation is in fact at war.

This is not a war and can not be waged with physical weapons but with ideological ones. Think about the simple fact that law enforcement personnel and for that matter anyone associated with public service answering a routine call, going about their normal daily activity or just sitting in a parked car could become a target anywhere in the nation, for no other reason than what the perpetrator believes they represent.

More deaths will certainly not bring this to an end, so until we come together out of respect and understanding, these events will continue to occur and the more that do occur will only serve to encourage others to do the same while placing even our best trained public servants in a position of over reacting. The cycle needs to be broken.

Solutions that address those who choose to make this a personal war must be made to realize the futility of this action has gained them nothing but instead creates more of what they ultimately seek to change.

The taking of life is never the answer to anything. Violence only brings about more violence and those who encourage, condone or support it in any way must be made to realize the error of their ways.

As we enter the holiday season and bring this year to an end, we can only hope and pray that understanding, respect and a new appreciation for common decency and moral acceptance begins to infect the hearts and minds of us all as we seek peace and brotherly love for all God’s people.

“Looking at these ornaments reminds me of lives and souls I have met,” my mother says.

“Christmas is about Life, and the Joy it brings to Life,” my grandmother says to her, reminiscently.

Election casts pall over Vt. wind power

By Guy Page Special to the Eagle

MIDDLEBURY — Tuesday, Nov. 8, appears to have been a bleak day for the future of ridgeline wind power in Vermont.

On Election Day 2016, the outcome of local, state and national voting signaled a vote of “no confidence” in the growth of utility-scale wind power in the Green Mountain State.

Iberdrola, developers of the 24-turbine Styles Brook project, promised host towns Grafton and Windham there would be no development without voter approval by referendum.

On Nov. 8, Grafton voted 235-158 and Windham 180-101 against construction, and Iberdrola has said it will honor its commitment.

The Windham-Grafton vote was the latest in a line of anti-wind development referenda. Unimpressed by the 2016 Vermont Legislature’s conditional gift of slightly more say in the energy siting process, municipalities are now bypassing Montpelier. If this trend of “permission by referendum” continues, towns will have carved out a local veto power for themselves over ridgeline wind development. A new precedent is being set. One way or another, Vermonters are willing to battle to protect their control of the local landscape.

During the governor’s race, Republican candidate Lt. Gov. Phil Scott promised a moratorium on ridgeline wind development if elected governor. His opponent, Sue Minter (D), did not.

Voters chose Scott by a nine-point margin.

Minter lost her hometown of Waterbury, where just 34 percent of residents support local development of utility scale wind power.

Others issues stirred voters, but the impact of the unpopu-

larity of ridgeline development cannot be denied: Incoming Gov. Scott is expected to keep his promise of a moratorium on large wind projects.

Scott will almost certainly appoint a like-minded commissioner to lead the Department of Public Service, the state’s energy regulator. Most importantly, the term of Vermont Public Service Board Chairman James Volz expires in March 2017.

Under his watch, ridgeline wind projects in Lowell, Georgia and Sheffield were approved and constructed. Gov.-elect Scott’s choice to chair the PSB is anyone’s guess, but the logical choice would be a fellow ridgeline wind skeptic.

President-elect Donald Trump (R) has said wind power kills “too many eagles and is an inefficient energy source,” according to many media outlets. Trump also publicly called global warming a hoax and said he would restore the U.S. coal industry. In December 2015, he lost a lengthy battle to stop a wind turbine project offshore from his Scotland gold course.

The wind industry has the U.S. Congress to thank for extending the 2.3 cent/kilowatt-hour Production Tax Credit in 2015, even though it drops 20 percent every year and expires in 2019.

On Nov. 22, U.S. Rep. Peter Welch (D) said the Republicans, who now control both houses of Congress, “hate renewables” and that Trump supports fossil fuels. Wind power backers should not expect any new help from Congress or the new administration, he said.

Local, state and national developments indicate that ridgeline wind stations have a bleak future in Vermont, but the next two state and federal election cycles may have different results.

EYE ON THE ARTS

Be Merry The holidays will soon be upon us.

This year has been one of the more divisive ones in the history of this country. After months of heated political debate, countless tragedies and an uncertain future as tensions climb, it’s difficult to feel merry.

With that being said: it’s important to be merry, if only for a little while.

Project Help aids Rutland-area families

By Lou Varricchio

RUTLAND — In the heart of Rutland, Project Help has provided food for more 200 families for past 48 years.

Started at Mount Saint Joseph Academy in Rutland, Project Help has grown to become a community wide event. The effort involves many residents and provides Christmas baskets to families across the Rutland region.

According to MSJ Principal Sarah Fortier, “The baskets are comprised of food for a Christmas dinner in addition to presents, clothing, and other supplies. What started off as a small service project has grown into the largest student-led service project in the area.”

Fortier also noted that MSJ students, with the help of their teachers and parents, collect non-perishable food donations, as well as money gifts.

“The monetary gifts we receive from private donors, as well as local businesses, are used to purchase turkeys, chickens, presents for each family with children, and any other supplies that are needed,” according to Fortier. “All of these items are included in the baskets along with the food collected door-to- door.” f you would like to contribute a gift of some kind, contact the school at 802-775-0151 or if you would prefer to send a monetary donation please send it to: MSJ Project Help Attn: Sarah Fortier, Mount St. Joseph Academy, 127 Convent Ave., Rutland, Vt 05701.

Report: Fresh food No. 1 in Vermont programs

At Meals on Wheels Executive Director Nicole Fournier Grisgraber and Program Manager Holly Phelps receive a farms donation.

RUTLAND —A recent report, published

by Vermont’s non-profit Salvation Farms, measured the demand for fresh produce within the state’s food or meal programs and teased out preferences and challenges regarding the sourcing and use of fruits and vegetables.

The Vermont-based nonprofit, which helps programs get locally-grown crops that otherwise can’t find a market, surveyed hundreds of organizations in the spring of 2016 to identify sites’ needs.

A total of 210 organizations across all Vermont counties responded to the Fresh Produce Needs survey. Sites expressed interest in using a wide variety of fresh produce. The majority prefer Vermont-grown food, though in practice only a minority actually use food grown in the state.

With responses from over half of Vermont’s food shelves and a fifth of the state’s public schools, the report estimates that statewide, these two types of sites together have a need for more than 14 million pounds of fresh produce annually. Other types of organizations that responded included prisons, Meals on Wheels programs, and housing sites, so the annual demand statewide is likely much higher.

While sites indicate interest in using more fresh produce, major limitations exist regarding sourcing, pricing, and capacity. Specific capacity limitations include a lack of refrigerated space and a lack of labor necessary for handling produce.

According to Theresa Snow, Salvation Farms’ executive director, the Fresh Produce Needs report follows their Food Loss on Vermont Farms Study, which found an average estimate of 14.3 million pounds of vegetables and berries go unsold and uneaten on Vermont farms each year. This food loss occurs for reasons that include a lack of market demand and crops that have blemishes or don’t look perfect.

This most recent report released by Salvation Farms sheds light on the opportunities to address both sides of the supply and demand equation. Sites reported that there is a higher preference for “perfect looking” produce.

Snow said that, “When coupled with the infrastructure and labor limitations reported by sites, it provides our organization and other social entrepreneurs in Vermont an opportunity to explore creating new market niches and processed products that make it easier for food sites to use wholesome crops that currently remain on farms and uneaten.”

Cider settles into Kennedy Bros.

VERGENNES — Shacksbury Cider’s expansion involves relocating to the Kennedy Brothers business facility in Vergennes. The company was recently awarded a $25,000 Building Communities Grant from the Vermont Regional Economic Development program.

The grant, courtesy of state taxpayers, is administered by the Vermont Department of Buildings and General Services.

Shacksbury Co-Founder Colin Davis said, “A lot of people talk about economic development, but ACEDC is where the rubber meets the road. They did all the heavy lifting on this grant that, we’re happy to say, will allow us to hire another full-time position and bring an important part of our process in-house.”

The funds will go towards processing equipment and vehicles to allow Shacksbury to move to this new location and grow their business.

The move to Kennedy Brothers will create six to 10 jobs in the next one to three years.

Shacksbury Cider was founded in 2013 and began their first sales in the summer of 2014.

Watchdog

Continued from page 1 President William Notte told Watchdog.

Local educators and family case workers are concerned that they will not have funding for English Language Learner services, which are federally mandated for public elementary and high schools. Area schools are already locked into their budgets for this fiscal year, and may not have enough funding to provide language services for refugees joining the school system in January.

One response from VRRP representatives has been to emphasize the ability of small children to learn new languages quickly.

Notte said that perspective, while generally true, is incomplete.

“As the parent of a four-year-old, I do agree that these children will most likely absorb the English language like sponges, but they will be behind their peers. And if any preschool funding is tied to testing of the student body as a whole, then some allowances need to be built into the system,” Notte said.

Notte said he was not “overly concerned,” however, adding that the city would have many more stakeholder meetings.

“I will be much more alarmed if one or two more of these meetings happen without this question being further addressed,” he said.

www.addision-eagle.com

Miriam Ehtesham-Cating, the English language program director for the Burlington School District, said the focus needs to be on elementary and high school kids, in keeping with the federal government’s requirements for English language learning.

“Vermont and the federal government have a strict regulatory process for identifying English language learners, and providing language assistance,” Ehtesham-Cating said.

Ehtesham-Cating, who oversees English language instruction for 14 schools, said services for preschoolers would not likely be a priority. “It is more important for staff to receive coaching and to receive help in developing learning profiles for these children,” she said...

Winooski, another refugee resettlement community in Vermont, spends about $1 million dollars annually on language services. Rutland schools would have a much lower tab, said Ehtesham-Cating, since only two full-time liaisons would likely be needed to help an estimated 40 refugee school kids. “(Language services) aren’t just a requirement, they’re good practice,” she said. “Some of these children have grown up their whole lives inside a camp. They don’t know how to even go to school. … Rutland has to decide how they are going to help these children transition.”

Taste test

Continued from page 1 school lunch periods.

According to Kathy Alexander, food service director of the Addison Northeast Food Service Cooperative, the in-school taste tests were organized by the Vermont Food Education Every Day and NECI, in partnership with the Cooperative.

Also involved was Deborah Kane, USDA’s National Farm to School Program director.

“Culinary schools now teach food servicescaled classes,” according to Kane. “All these culinary programs are graduating students that think working in a school cafeteria would be really awesome.”

Students enrolled in NECI’s Student Service Learning course assisted in the process

Driver was imparied, police allege MENDON — On Dec. 1, Vermont State Police in Rutland responded to a report of a single vehicle collision on U.S. Route 4 in Mendon. Troopers responded to find operator, Erich Moeller, 38 of Stowe, uninjured and out of his vehicle. Moeller stated that he was on his cell phone when he drove

in Addison County.

“By involving these student chefs, this collaborative project allows for culinary professionals to connect to the Farm-to-School ideals early in their career, creating advocates for healthy food systems and meaningful nutrition education in our schools,” Kane said.

“It feels like the whole Farm-to-School ship is legitimately turning and can keep going in the right direction.”

ON THE COVER: Three teams of New England Culinary Institute student chefs traveled to Monkton Central School, Beeman Elementary School, and Lincoln Community School. The NECI college-level student chefs visited the cafeterias to showcase their publication, “New School Cuisine: Nutritious Seasonal Recipes for School Cooks by School Cooks”.

off the road. He showed multiple signs of impairment, he consented to a prliminary breath test which indicated a BrAC of .114.

Moeller was screened at Rutland Regional Hospital and released with no injures to be taken to the Rutland Barracks for DUI processing. He was written several civil driving violations before being released from the Barracks on a citation to appear in Rutland Superior Court on Dec. 19.
