POLICE BEAT Police probe crash that sent five to the hospital Questions remain regarding the one-vehicle crash that sent five people to the hospital Aug. 27 on Route 15 in Colchester. Samar Jameel, 16, of Burlington was driving a 2003 Pontiac when it struck a utility pole by the entrance to St. MichaelÕ s College. She had to be extricated from the car by fire personnel. The other passengers were Burlington residents Raqiya Jaber, 24, Huba Jaber, 38, and a 13-year-old girl, as well as Iman Jaber, 28, of Winooski. All five were taken to the University of Vermont Medical Center with injuries ranging from minor to serious. Raqiya, Hubaa and Iman Jaber have all since been discharged, while JameelÕ s status is unclear as her family declined to allow the hospital to provide updates. The 13-year-oldÕ s status also was not available. Police are still looking into whether Jameel had a valid driverÕ s license, as well as what caused the crash that shut down traffic in the area for two hours. The crash occurred on move-in day for new St. MichaelÕ s students. Groups of students and faculty could be seen on the lawn as they watched the rescue efforts unfold. Agencies that responded to the crash included Colchester police and rescue, Essex police, St. MichaelÕ s College Fire and Rescue, Colchester Center Volunteer Fire Company, Vermont Air National Guard Heavy Rescue, UVM Rescue, South Burlington Fire and Rescue and the Vermont Transportation Agency Those with information about the
should preclude her from holding higher office,Ó Paul said. For the record, a U.S. House of RepresentativesÕ Intelligence Committee report released in November 2014 concluded that there was Ò no intelligence failure prior to the attacks,Ó in Benghazi. That committee was chaired by Republican Congressman Mike Rogers of Michigan. During his speech Monday night, Paul also addressed TrumpÕ s candidacy, saying the real estate developerÕ s support of eminent domain takings of private property and his support of government involvement in health care disqualify him as a conservative.

An Essex Junction man was arrested for providing false information to police after being stopped in Essex on Aug. 29. Police say Joseph Desorda, 30, was pulled over after Vermont State Police received a call from the Jolley Convenience Store in Jericho, where an employee reported Desorda was with a woman who appeared highly impaired and was falling over when trying to get into the car. After troopers found the car on Green Field Road in Essex, they determined the woman was safe and in good condition. When asked for his identity, Desorda lied to police. Once they figured out who he was, Desorda was taken into custody and cited to appear in Chittenden Superior Court on Oct. 13.
Overturned truck results in DUI An Essex Junction man was arrested on DUI charges after overturning his pickup truck on Hillview Road in Richmond. Joshua A. Ward, 22, was found at a nearby residence after police arrived at the scene. WardÕ s breath alcohol concentration was 0.187 percent three and a half hours after the crash, according to police. He was cited for a DUI and later released. Ò WeÕ re going to have to wake up or weÕ ll wake up one day and find out our nominee is not a conservative,Ó he said of Trump. Paul described his conservatism as rooted in 4th Amendment privacy protections against the type of phone and internet data mining that national intelligence officials admit to collecting in the name of fighting terrorism, saying itÕ s the type of invasion of privacy that sparked the American Revolution against England. Ò IÕ m all for collecting the records of terrorists,Ó Paul said. Ò I just donÕ t want to collect all our records. We have so much information, weÕ re overwhelmed by it. We could know more about those we have suspicion (about). We could do a better job on them.Ó Paul also argued for a contracting foreign policy, one that ends AmericaÕ s recent practice of participating in the overthrow of Middle East dictators and arming so-called Ò moderateÓ fighters he said often turn out to be jihadists. But he bristled at the notion that he is an isolationist. Ò If you want troops in the Middle East, IÕ m not your guy,Ó he said. Ò There will always be a Bush or a Clinton that will take you back É (IÕ m for a) strong national defense but not one eager for war. When we fight, we fight with overwhelming power, we fight to win, and we come home.Ó The Vermont Republican Party used the event as a motivator for the 2016 elections, where party leaders said they hope to win the governorship and end the Democratic veto-proof majority in the Legislature. Lt. Gov. Phil Scott spoke before Paul and received a standing ovation from about 120 Republicans in attendance and shouts of encouragement for him to run for governor next year. Ò The bigger the cheer for our lieutenant governor the more likely weÕ ll get a big announcement soon,Ó party finance Chairwoman Dawn Terrill said.

from page 1a and farm it will be different É This is a big lift for all of us, but it is worthwhile, and it is going to work.Ó Secretary of Agriculture Chuck Ross said the only place to look for water quality funding is ourselves. Ò Fees and taxes donÕ t get passed without citizen support,Ó he said. Ò We all know we have a water quality problem in this state and we know itÕ s a big problem É ItÕ s our responsibility to act.Ó Essex Director of Public Works Dennis Lutz envisions increased budget requests for road maintenance, stormwater infrastructure and stream stabilization as a result of the plan. He said a better handle on the costs would allow town officials to make forward-looking water quality funding requests at one time, instead of on an asneeded basis. Ò At some point IÕ m going to have to go back to the community and ask for money,Ó Lutz said. Ò We would like to do it at one time with all these factors on the table.Ó

Alyssa Schuren, Commissioner of the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation, said the Vermont water quality bill passed this year includes the creation of a task force to help municipalities navigate their responsibilities under the EPA plan and seek funding sources. Agency of Transportation Secretary Sue Minter said agency engineers will be available to municipal officials for technical support when retrofitting town roads with stormwater runoff improvements. Meanwhile, all agricultural operations will be subject to required compliance with water quality practices that are currently self-reported only by large operations. New enforcement authority that the legislature granted to the Agency of Agriculture include reducing livestock numbers and eliminating agriculture-related property tax breaks. A comment period on the new EPA plan extends through September.
