Chittenden County State’s Attorney Sarah George appears to be in a standoff with Vermont State Police over whether to charge Shelburne Cpl.. Jon Marcoux with simple assault over a use-of-force incident earlier this George,year.inan email to The Shelburne News, said that she had asked the state police to cite Marcoux for simple assault, but the state police told her they “did not believe there was probable cause and there fore would not swear to an affidavit nor issue a citation.”
Shelburne highway super Paul Goodrich still takes care of roads after 55 years
The state police, who investigated the incident per George’s request, said in response that George had already “inde pendently determined that probable cause existed to support” a simple assault charge. State police investigators, however, deter mined there was no probable cause and that signing an affidavit would be “unethical,” and that George can pursue charges inde pendent of the police. “The filing of a criminal charge requires an investigator to swear to a formal, written statement called an affidavit that affirms the investigator’s belief that probable cause exists to support the charge. If an investiga tor does not believe this standard has been met, it is unethical and inappropriate for the police officer to swear to an affidavit he or she believes is untrue,” Adam Silverman, the public information officer for Vermont State Police, said in a statement.
Sides differ on whether to charge Shelburne officer
“Generally speaking, state’s attorneys have their own options to pursue charges independently of the police,” he added. It is unclear whether George has decid ed to pursue charges against Marcoux — prosecutors can bring charges against

Friends, family and coworkers honored Paul Goodrich for his over five decades of service to the town of Shelburne. Inset: Goodrich at the Aug. 11 celebration.
SERVICE For 55 years Shelburne Highway Super intendent Paul Goodrich has worked for the town highway department to keep town streets in great condition for the communi ty. He started when he was just 16 years old and isn’t looking to stop anytime soon — and the town appears happy about that. Shelburne officials held a celebration Aug. 11 to thank Goodrich for his service over the years and name the town garage in his honor. Friends, family and commu nity members filled town hall to congratu late him, and later a parade of trucks and plows drove by, honking for Goodrich as he watched from the steps amid cheers and applause.Hegot a few welcome surprises, too: a road sign reading “Paul’s Way” for him to take home, along with the selectboard’s announcement that the town garage would officially be christened Goodrich’s Garage. Attendees recounted growing up with Goodrich and knowing his family all their lives. Rick Bessette, who grew up in Shel burne alongside the highway superinten dent and his brother, called the Goodriches

For more than five decades, Stromeyer has created sculptures whose graphic forms, saturated colors and complex, balanced compositions seem to defy steel’s material limits. Despite the weight of their materials and construction — including welded, cold-bent, half-ton steel plates — many of Stromeyer’s sculptures play with space and perception; they seem to defy gravity, appearing to float and extend upwards effortlessly in the landscape.“Both in scale and how the work evokes a sense of wonder about the environment, ‘Facet ed Rock’ is right at home on the museum campus,” said Thomas Denenberg, John Wilmerding director and CEO of Shelburne Museum.Meetthe artist Friday, Sept. 2, 5-6 p.m. during the free first Friday event at Shelburne Museum. Learn more about the artist and the newly installed sculpture. “Faceted Rock” is the first in a series of large-scale sculptures informed by the artist’s two-year exploration of a single Vermont fieldstone. “It represents, in all kinds of ways, almost spiritually, exploring (this field stone’s) densi ty and shape,” Stromeyer said. The 46 facets of this monolith feature a metallic paint that frac tures natural light across its bold geometry, highlighting its abstract form. Epitomizing Stromeyer’s expressive and technical dexterity working with steel, the sculpture embodies the soul and identity of place and Stromeyermaker.attended Dartmouth College where he skied competi tively and his study 5:30-8:00 Sarah Dickinson, sdickinson@residenceshelburnebay.com 802-348-2541 Road, Shelburne, VT 802-348-2541 DAVID STROMEYER Rock,” 2004, 1/2 x 3/16 Todd R.

Statewide races
AVALON STYLES-ASHLEY STAFF WRITER Elections in the Chittenden County primary were a whirlwind last Tuesday, with some hardfought races for state senate, lieu tenant governor, state’s attorney and Congress coming to a close. In the Chittenden Southeast Senate race, incumbents will stick around: Sen. Virginia “Ginny” Lyons of Williston led the pack with a little over 29 percent of the vote according to the Associated Press, followed by Sen. Kesha Ram Hinsdale of Shelburne, with about 27 percent of the vote and Sen. Thomas Chittenden of South Burlington with 26 percent. Each garnered over 11,000 votes, while newcomers Lewis Mudge of Charlotte had about 4,700 and Steve May of Richmond walked away with about 2,800. All candidates were Democrats. The battle for Chittenden County State’s Attorney turned out to be less of a referendum than some expected: incumbent Sarah George won 53 percent of the vote, while challenger Ted Kenney, whose candidacy was supported by public safety unions and some current and former states’ attorneys, had 33 percent of the vote. Almost 4,000 voters who cast Democratic ballots did not vote in this Candidatesrace.running to repre sent Shelburne in the House won their races as they had no chal lengers. Incumbent Kate Webb and newcomer Kate Lalley won their primaries. Both are Demo crats and face no Republican opponent in the General Election. Democrat Dan Gamelin ran unopposed for Chittenden County sheriff and won the seat with a little over 22,000 votes.
Sarah Copeland Hanzas, state rep from Bradford, beat Chris Winters for secretary of state by about 1,800 votes. Hanzas, a Democrat, faces Republican H. Brooke Paige and Progressive Robert Millar in the General. David Zuckerman of Hines burg, who previously served as lieutenant governor, won the Democratic nomination against Kitty Toll. He will face Republi can Joe Benning in November. Democrat Charity Clark and Republican H. Brooke Paige will face off for attorney general in the general election. mathematics. He graduated with a degree in studio art, and went on to study film at UCLA. In 1970, Stromeyer purchased a 200-acre former dairy farm in Northern Vermont’s Cold Hollow Moun tains, 10 miles from the U.S. and Canadian border. It was there that he began to work on larger, more architectural sculptures. In 2014, Stromeyer co-founded Cold Hollow Sculpture Park, which became a non-profit organization in 2018.Hiswork can be found in the Smithsonian American Art Museum; deCordova Sculpture Park and Art Museum, Lincoln, Mass.; Overland Park, Kan.; Strathmore Hall Sculpture Garden in Bethesda, Md.; Cornell Univer sity; Plattsburgh State Universi ty; corporate the country. at shelburnemuseum.org.

Shelburne Police Blotter Group forms to help direct Shelburne’s future To the TheEditor:quality of Shelburne’s future will be determined by how the community, and the town’s government, respond to two significant events occurring right now: • Rapid growth and develop ment, the most obvious exam ples of which include Kwin iaska, Webster Road, Harbor Place and the proposed Bran don-Crombach project, with increasing pressure for more of the •same.Rewriting of Shelburne’s complete zoning regulations, now under discussion. The need for a complete review and rewrite is painfully apparent to Shelburne’s governmental lead ership. Such a task will confront Shelburne with the need to examine its values and priorities and make challenging choices. One of the key questions likely to emerge in the face of relentless growth pressure is whether we will be able to retain Shelburne’s rural char acter and protect its natural resources? The comprehensive town plan, Shelburne’s official statement of intent regarding land use and development, spells out both the threats and an approach that ensures that we maintain what is important to us“Landall. use policies and regu lations must be strengthened to minimize the overall impact of the built environment and to sustain the greenspace essential for preserving the future envi ronmental and economic health of Shelburne and the quality of life residents enjoy,” it reads. We are announcing the formation of a new citizen’s group, The Shelburne Alliance for the Environment (SAFE). While we recognize the inevita bility of well-managed growth — hopefully — and especially support the need for affordable housing, we want to make sure that community priorities regarding the environment are at the center of any town govern ment decisions about the future.
Just two weeks after rollout, Shelburne Alliance for the Environment has a contact list of about 60 interested residents, and active working groups focused on land use and government, climate action and natural environment protection. We will work to engage and educate Shelburne residents and participate in community deci sion-making on these key issues to foster a livable community and resilient economy that safe guards Shelburne’s natural char acter. We invite you to contact us and join us in this effort. Our steering committee includes Piper Abbott, Rowland Davis, Donna Fialkoff, Susan Hull Grasso, Judy Raven, Don Rendall, Rosemary Sadler, Jim White and Persis Worrall.

Volunteers, from nurses to ornithophiles, paddled throughout the lively wetlands of Lake Cham plain to remove European frog bit, a non-native invasive plant species, for the 16th consecutive summer.In2007, Lewis Creek Asso ciation initiated the Water Qual ity Stewardship Program and has since worked annually to manage the invasive plants and water qual ity of the rivers and streams that drain directly into Lake Cham plain. The volunteer-driven frogbit project is the result of cooperation between many individuals and groups, including Charlotte, Shel burne and Hinesburg, Shelburne Bay Boat Club and a supportive Charlotte property owner. European frogbit, a common aquarium plant, spread to the United States via the St. Lawrence River after it was introduced to arboretum ponds in Ottawa in 1932. It is now considered an aquatic invasive species because it dominates native species in the competition for sunlight, nutri ents and surface area. In 2007, 50 percent of Town Farm Bay was covered by frogbit. Annual paddling and weed ing trips, with a side of bird- and turtle-watching, have reduced the coverage of frogbit to around 4 percent. In contrast, when frogbit was discovered in the wetlands of the LaPlatte Natural Area, it had a much lower percentage cover, giving the Lewis Creek Associa tion program and volunteers the opportunity for early detection and a rapidThoughresponse.theinvasive plant will never be eradicated in either loca tion, maintaining this low popu lation allows native plants and animals to thrive. This summer, volunteers spent 172 hours remov ing 1,057 pounds of frogbit from Town Farm Bay and 30 pounds from the LaPlatte River wetlands. Stewards also monitor water quality in the LaPlatte River, Patrick Brook, McCabe’s Brook, Thorp Brook, Kimball Brook, and this year, Lewis Creek, by volunteers for South Chittenden River Watch. Volunteers collected water samples that are analyzed by the Vermont Agricultural and Environmental Laboratory. The sampling season has recent ly wrapped up, and included sampling for phosphorus, nitrogen and chloride to understand sources of nutrient loading to Lake Cham plain while informing water qual ity improvement project plans. This year’s results will be avail able at lewiscreek.org next spring; to see last years’ results, visit bit. ly/LCA-WQ-2021.

It was her first contested election since she was appointed to the seat in 2017 to fill in for TJ Donovan, who vacated the office for the position as attorney general.

The impasse between the two law enforcement agencies stems from a use of force incident that occurred in Shelburne on Jan. 23, when Marcoux, the department’s public information officer who has been on administrative leave for months, was involved in an inci dent where someone had their car stolen.Dispatch relayed the report to Marcoux. He eventually found the vehicle and pulled the driver over on Shelburne Road, where the use of force in question alleged ly occurred. The individual was taken into custody on a charge of operating a vehicle without the owner’sPreciseconsent.details of the incident remain unclear, however.

After the incident, a use of force review was submitted, and Shelburne Police Chief Michael Thomas requested via email that George review the video record ings “for potential criminal charges.”George responded to Thomas the following day, telling him that after viewing the report, along with the video recordings, “I do agree that Officer (Marcoux) used exces sive force in this incident,” accord ing to an email exchange obtained via a public records request. George then asked the state police to investigate — despite having already determined Marcoux had used an excessive amount of force on her own, according to email exchanges. In a Feb. 11 email to state police officials working on the investi gation, George said she would be the point of contact “but since the decision has already been made that the use of force was excessive, I would prefer this be treated like any other tigationsaidnalbureaucommanderCapt.review.”ittion,regardingtionaassignedhaveinvestigationsassaultandtheTroopersmakerecommendaordecisionacitaratherthanbeingsentasaStatepoliceJeremyHill,oftheofcrimiinvestigations,theinveswascompleted

Webb was swimming with his 8-year-old granddaughter and 10-year-old grandson when bad weather hit; he was helping them back into the boat when he unexpectedly went under, police said. His grandchildren swam ashore to get help, and his wife, Shelburne Rep. Kate Webb, called 911. Shel burne police, the U.S. Coast Guard and Vermont State Police assisted with the “Marshallsearch.was a passionate believer in the mission of Shel burne Farms, cherished its woodlands and trails, and as our Carbon Draw down Coordinator, was tirelessly dedicated to addressing global climate change for the future of his children and grand children,” according to a statement on Shelburne Farm’s website. “He was a force and a fixture at Shelburne Farms; we will miss him greatly.”

Pursuant to 24 VSA § 4441, the Shelburne Planning Commission will hold a public hearing at 7:00 P.M. on Thursday, September 8, 2022, at Shelburne Town Offices and via zoom to consider the following amendments to the Zoning Bylaw:
“We extend our deepest sympa thy to his family at this time: his wife, his children, grandchildren, and extended family, his siblings, and his friends,” the statement said. Webb grew up at Shelburne Farms and “started doing chores” on the farm at 3 years old. “By the age of 8 he was driving tractors and jeeps in support of the summer hay harvest,” according to his biogra phy on the website. He attended Wesley an College and then came back to work full time on the farm. Webb helped launch the nonprofit education organization that now owns and operates the farm in 1972 alongside his siblings — the same year he earned a degree in French from the University of Vermont. Over the years he worked on the farm as field hand, milker, assistant cheesemaker and special projects coordinator.Hismost recent role on the 1,400-acre farm was as carbon drawdown coordinator, where he led efforts to achieving the goal of carbon negative status by 2028. In that role, he was “tirelessly dedi cated to addressing global climate change for the future of his children and grandchildren,” according to Shelburne Farms. He has also served on the boards of several local non-profits, includ ing the Shelburne Craft School — where he had been a member since 2000 — the Pierson Library, and the All-Souls Interfaith Gathering, where he sang in the choir. He was also a “lifelong” photographer, according to the craft school. He started Lenses on the Land, where he instructed novice photographers on the farm. A memorial is expected later, and gifts in his memory can be made to the Marshall C. Webb Carbon Drawdown Fund, which will be “used in his honor and memory to help Shelburne Farms achieve that goal.” “He was... a beloved husband, father, grandfather, brother and friend,” said Robin Turnau chief advancement officer at Shelburne Farms. “We extend our deepest sympathy to his family at this time and ask respect for their privacy.” His ancestors, Dr. William Seward Webb and Eliza Osgood Vanderbilt, created the country estate now known as Shelburne Farms.

a family of hard workers. “When he retires — if he retires — they’re going to have a hard time finding someone to replace him,” Bessette said. But Goodrich said he has no plans to leave anytime soon.“I like working with the people, and I’m pretty well supported,” he said. “Some towns don’t support their guys.”That support from Shelburne officials and residents is a big bonus to his job. Another perk? Getting to do something different everyDuringday. the summer he walks along the roads for miles, check ing to see if anything needs to be fixed. In the winter he’s up on the plow, clearing snow and making roadsManysafe. in the town know Goodrich for his work in the snowy season: He is almost infamous for helping keep schools open. He told one story at the ceremony that summed it up: His mother used to babysit a teacher’s children, and they would tell her that if her son stayed in bed, they could finally have a snowButday.every day in the winter, Goodrich gets up at 3 or 4 a.m. to check conditions, and if the streets need to be plowed, he tries to be out there on the first shift. Plowing snow can be chal lenging, especially in Vermont, he said. One Christmas night, he recalled, his truck slid and rolled over, trapping him against the trees. But Goodrich never thought about quitting. Nini Anger, executive assistant to town administrator Lee Krohn, helped put together the event and got members of the town to serve cake too. She said the town was happy to come together for Goodrich because “everybody knows“Hehim.”seems a little gruff on the outside,” Anger said, “but he’s pretty soft on the inside.” That lines up with the job itself. It’s tough, sometimes rugged work, but he’ll keep doing it. “I still love plowing snow,” he said. “I enjoy what I do.”
