The primary election in South Burlington was a flutter of action, but this year one thing set the city apart from all other municipalities in theThestate.city was the first in Vermont to test new highspeed scanners, election tech used in some other states that hastens the pre-processing of early ballots by reviewing them in large batches then combining the results with day-of ballots into a master computer.
DINE-IN
A stack of 100 to 150 ballots goes into the scanner, which can be customized to separate any ballots that have write-ins, overvotes or that are in question, so the board
City tries out new election technology
Clerk’s office considers adding ‘election season’ staff
The high-speed scanners lifted some stress off the shoulders of city clerk Donna Kinville, who often resembles a blur on election day as she goes from polling location to polling location, overseeing, managing and problem solving. But the scanners also remind ed her that the clerk’s office is in desperate need of change, whether that means more staffing, new tech or something else, because with new House and Senate districts, a growing population and growing use of absentee ballots, she can barely shoulder it all.
“With the fifth House district, it’s almost getting to be too much for this office to handle. We’re almost at the point where we need to look at something to relieve the pres sure,” Kinville said, adding that the office hasn’t grown much in staff since she took over 20 yearsTheago. new high-speed scan ners could be one way to relieve pressure on the clerk’s office, as they cut the processing time of absentee ballots drastically, she said.
“Making sure the integrity of the election still stands is my number one thing. I don’t care how fast it is: If it’s not reliable, I don’t want anything to do with it.” — DonnacityKinville,clerk on page 12

New phase of COVID-19 pandemic greets students
A battery fire that set a container ablaze at Beta Tech nologies, the electric aero space company with space at Burlington International Airport, remains under inves tigation, officials said. The South Burlington Fire Department and the Vermont Air National Guard put out the fire late in the evening on Friday, Aug. 26. Crews worked for about an hour and a half to extinguish the flame. The shipping container was filled with lithium-ion batteries for the company’s aircraft. Officials with the South Burlington Fire Depart ment said that a battery failure likely sparked the blaze. No injuries were reported, and the fire did not interrupt flight operations at the airport, officialsLithium-ionsaid. batteries are a critical component to electric vehicles and electronics but, in rare instances, can sponta neously catch fire or explode. This is the second time that the company has had a lithium-battery fire. A battery failure caused damage in 2019, according to reporting fromBetaWCAX.Technologies has been located at the airport since 2019 and, in July, signed a new lease agreement with the Burlington International Airport for at least 75 years with a six-year extension. Since then, it has continued to expand its staff and has invested over $15 million in renovations and on a facility expansion plan. The company plans to hire another 300 employees and 50 interns by 2023, with total spending and salaries expected to exceed $2 billion through 2024. The company manufac tures electric vertical aircraft and charging stations and has made headlines in prom inent media outlets including Forbes and The New York Times as it has quickly grown into a pioneer in green avia tion.The airport, while physi cally located in South Burl ington, is owned and managed by the city of Burlington.

Beta Technologies fire still under investigation
For the first time since 2019, students of all ages arrived for the first day of school last week with out masks to protect against the spread of COVID-19. In a memo sent to schools, the Vermont Agency of Education and Department of Health announced a shift in policy. While masks were made optional last spring, the agency has relinquished control over health decisions back to those who were making them prior to the pandemic’s eruption: school“Asnurses.webegin to think of COVID-19 as an endemic disease, we once again need to shift our thinking,” the memo said. “COVID-19, like the flu, is now a part of our lives.” While risks around the corona virus remain, including indications like those from a study published by the American Medical Asso ciation that estimated up to 10 percent of children who contract COVID-19 could be at risk for extended and lingering effects from the virus, the state indicat ed to nurses that testing would no longer be a “first-line strategy” against the virus, instructing them to instead incorporate monitoring and treatment into broader health and wellness programs. Schools are largely welcoming this return to a health policy that puts school nurses back in charge as a return to some sort of normal cy after two years of a wearying strictness.“Wewere very excited to welcome our students and staff back for this new school year on August 29 and 30,” said Corey Burdick, South Burlington School District communications coordi nator. “So far, the feedback from administrators, students and staff has been very positive and the feel is a bit more relaxed since everyone is back in person full time without restriction. There is definitely a sense of optimism and hope as we begin to bring back more programs that were paused or reimagined during the height of the Accordingpandemic.” to the adminis trative team at the Shelburne Community School, “there was a palpable lightness to the start of this school year compared to the past two years. You can see it (literally the smiles on faces) and feel it throughout the entire build ing and Whilecommunity.”theschoolremains flex ible with masking and expects to continue to see masked students at the school, there’s a commu nity-wide feeling that overall COVID-19 has become manage able.“We’re seeing the passion, excitement, and engagement coming back to the building — which is comforting and a relief. We are very appreciative of all our community support, encourage ment, patience and understanding over these past few years,” the administrative team said. “Our full student, faculty and staff community was able to meet together for the first time since February 2020. The visual alone was a powerful reminder that each one of us is an important part of the whole,” Adam Bunting, Cham plain Valley Union High School principal, said. “Our students are grateful to move beyond the liter al and figurative social distancing of the past three years — created by the pandemic, stress, and isola tion of single perspective social media.” Looking ahead In a state and country strug gling to attract and retain teaching and administrative staff, South Burlington still has over 40 posi tions the school district is looking to fill.Open positions in the district include everything from education support personnel, bus drivers and at least one guidance counselor. Meanwhile, the Champlain Valley School District is all set for administrative and teacher posi tions, though like its neighboring district, they’re still in the market for paraeducators, facilities and food service workers. Both districts have diversity, equity and inclusion efforts at the top of their list of initiatives for this school year as schools look to combat the learning loss suffered by students when the pandemic forced them out of classrooms, which affected students dispro portionately depending on the resources available to them at home.In South Burlington, their effort will be led by De-Dee Loftin-Davis, who was hired at the end of the last school year and will include a mentorship program. Her efforts will be bolstered by an equity policy passed by the school board earlier this year aimed at gathering data and analyzing issues of Champlaindiscrimination.Valleyis prioritiz ing “growth and belonging” as main areas of focus districtwide. “The meaning we have attributed to growth is the academic achievement and prog ress students will make this year. Belonging starts with the idea of what engagement looks like in a learning environment. Then, belonging transcends from mere engagement to a feeling or a sense of ease, safety, honor, joy and love. Finally, belonging is devel oped and supported when we know each person’s story,” said Champlain Valley School District superintendent Rene Sanchez. Champlain Valley is also developing a multi-year strategic plan for the district and is hoping for significant participation from the community. Commu nity members can provide at the district’s website. Drills return In schools across Vermont, another, a more disconcerting sign of a return to normal was announced by the Agency of Education as well: the return of active-shooter drills. With mass shootings a common occurrence across the United States and high-profile incidents like the 21 students and teachers killed at Uvalde, Texas, in May have kept preventing such incidents in the minds of educa tors.

Trumpeter moves from high school Carnegie Hall to Burlington parking lot
The Other Paper • September 8, 2022 • Page 3
Iola Parry, a 16-year-old trum pet player and junior at South Burlington High School, makes her Burlington debut with Green Mountain Swing Band Saturday, Sept. 10, when she joins the group at a parking lot dance party to help raise money for Vermont music scholarships.ForParry, as much as she’ll love playing jazz trumpet, it’s a way for her to give back. In 2019, as a middle schooler, she was a recipient of Green Mountain Swing scholarship that enabled her to participate in the Carnegie Hall Honors Performance Series. Playing with some of the best middle schoolers in the country, Parry said, was “a magical experi ence. I hope the Green Mountain Swing Band will continue to award this scholarship as it will change the lives of many other musicians, as it has Sincemine.”then, Parry has contin ued to add more achievements and accolades, including playing for Vermont Youth Philharmonia, New England Music Festival and honors at the New England Music Camp this summer. She also offers music lessons for beginners. Fred Abraham, an 87-year-old active trumpet player and founding member of Green Mountain Swing, says Parry is “a terrific trumpet player and great personality” and noted that she demonstrates the value of the scholarship program and desire to help young musicians become great citizens.

For a stunning display of blooms in early spring, most New England gardens would benefit from the addition of a remarkable perenni al — the hellebore — and fall is a great time to plant a bed of them. Among the first plants to herald spring, hellebores have gained huge popularity due to their many laud ableHelleboresqualities. are non-invasive evergreen perennials coveted for their resistance to cold and their abundant, durable and colorful blooms. They can thrive for over two decades and are undeterred by hungry deer and rabbits. Helleborus (hellebore) is a genus of about 20 species of extremely cold-hardy herbaceous perennials in the Ranunculaceae (buttercup) family. This plant is native to mountainous regions of Southern and Central Europe from the eastern Alps through Germany, Austria, Switzerland and Italy to the northern Balkans. One species, Helleborus orien talis, is commonly known as the Lenten rose because it blooms during the weeks leading up to the Easter holiday. Helleborus orienta lis cross-pollinates well with other species of hellebores resulting in stunningHybridspecimens.hellebores grow into mounds up to 24 inches tall and 30 inches wide. Although their foli age varies in shape and color, most share glossy palmate leaves with serratedTheirleaflets.long-lived blooms are not flowers, but large colorful sepals that remain on the stems until the seeds mature. Although the blooms change color following pollina tion, they do not lose their aesthetic appeal.Hybrid hellebores are easy to grow in plant hardiness zones 4-9. They thrive in partial shade in moist but well-drained soil. In New England, they can grow in full sun provided they receive sufficient moisture.

Hellebores tolerate most soils and will benefit from a yearly appli cation of compost, preferably in the spring.When planting, take care to keep the crown at soil level by digging a hole as deep as the pot they came in. Burying the crown too deep will discourage blooms. Loosen the root ball if needed, level the plant in the hole and water the roots. Continue to cover the roots with soil, taking care not to bury the crown. Be sure to keep mulch away from the crown. If your hellebore is established, consider pruning the previous year’s foliage to keep your plant looking fresh and to prevent the spread of diseases from the old leaves.Creating a hybrid cultivar is a meticulous, time-consuming process that involves a lot of trial and error. Additionally, when grown from seeds a plant may take five to six years to reach marketable size. These factors have prompted many breeders to patent their cultivars and charge growers royalties and licensing fees, ultimately resulting in high consumer prices. Although hellebores are pricey, don’t let this intimidate you from investing in such robust plants, especially ones that will take center stage in your shade garden for the next 20 years.

Growing problems are coming our way. Not as in difficulties that are getting bigger, but rather as in difficulties growing food. Experts are warning that our agricultural soils are in peril. The condition of the soils that grow our food has been deterio rating primarily because of indus trial farming. Large corporations, which have taken over farmland across the United States and the world, use non-sustainable and outright destructive farming prac tices. Massive use of chemicals, including fertilizers and pesti cides, along with over-growing and other detrimental actions have destroyed the quality of the soil to the point that soon the food grown in it will not possess enough nutrients to sustain human life. Half of all agricultural lands worldwide are in trouble. Assess ments are that we have only another 60 years of harvests. Climate crisis impacts from droughts, floods, storms, fire, insects, invasive species, loss of pollinators and more have made a bad situation much worse. The pandemic, wars and international conflicts are also contributing to food supply problems. If you stop reading now, think ing you can’t handle yet another national or global crisis, you will miss the good part. Unlike many of the other problems we are facing, we have the ability within our own city to cope with this potential catastrophe — if we act now.

Whoever said what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger hasn’t taken my mother-in-law to Verizon. Turns out Nietzsche coined this oft-used aphorism. Apparently, he never met my mother-inlaw. Or, more accurately, stood next to her while she balled her hand into a fist and said she wanted to slug the sales associate. Did I mention she’s 90?

Let me be clear, my mother-in-law has countless amazing attri butes. She is an author, an artist and an activist. But what you really need to know is that her natural habitat is the out of doors. Go ahead, abandon this woman in the Amazon, she’d be fine. She’d make friends with a poison dart frog while whittling a blowgun. Drop her into the Blue Moun tains and she’d construct a lean-to in the first hour. Strand her in the Mojave and she’d find water all while hitting it off with a fringetoed lizard. I am not kidding. She’s Steve Irwin, Bear Grylls and that Marlin-Perkins-Mutual-of-OmahaWild-Kingdom guy all rolled up into one. She can handle anything from caiman to snakes. Just don’t bring her into Verizon. I was well aware of the chal lenge presented as I’m still recov ering from last year’s foray into Best Buy when I naively waltzed through the sliding doors thinking, “I’ve got this! I can help with all her tech needs!” Truth is, I’m the opposite of my intrep id mother-in-law and am exceedingly more comfortable in stores than I am in my own backyard. Give me endless aisles any day. I can navigate a crowd, locate an item and nego tiate a deal in my sleep. What can’t I do? Handle my moth er-in-law in an electronics store.

We escaped to the parking lot leaving behind bewildered customers and offended salespeople. I vowed neverNeveragain.say never. A quote attributed to Charles Dickens, yet another man who never met my mother-in-law.But,justlike the pain of child birth, the Best Buy bedlam was erased, and I agreed to take her to Verizon. Although, this time, my mission was clear. Get in and out, not as soon as humanly possible, but more like The Flash on speed. So there we are, inside the lair of the largest wireless carrier in the U.S. and my mother-in-law is mad. I’m talking capital M mad. She is indignant that the sales represen tative, let’s call him Dave, was not interested in helping us. Yes, he had no warmth or, come to think of it, personality, but is that his fault? I could tell my mother-in-law was again in combat mode, but now I wasn’t sure who’s side I was on. I picked Dave. He looked less scary. As Dave continued to care less, my mother-in-law seethed. Ready to blow, she put the screws to him, grilling Dave about the “bullshit” company policy to attach demo phones to the counter so she couldn’t pick them up. Clearly not up to inquisition, he mumbled, “I like my job.” BUILDERS I MAKERS I DOERS proud to be your bankers why and experienced bankers who know what really ma ers to Vermonters.

Tech trauma — a cellular condition when I realized, aw, Dave has a sense of Whilehumor.Iassumed the role of mediator, the words “just shoot me now” may never have crossed my lips, but they were among the many thought-bubbles roiling above my head. We eventually left without a phone or our dignity, necessitating a return visit. I’m considering valium. Do not think bad about my mother-in-law. I owe her tenfold. Like the time we were hiking in Arkansas. As usual, she led the way and cleared my path, knowing my Verizon is the forest. As she came upon a huge snake coiled tight, she excitedly waited to show me. Call me Dave at that moment. I too was uninterested and clearly not up to the task. As my fear swirled and I went into my own combat mode, my mother-in-law held my hand and steered me around the terrifying reptile. She respected my limitations with understanding. So, you see, it’s the least I can do for her. After all, Nietzsche also said, “There is always some madness in love.”

Specifically, the proposed ordinance:
Valley is in the process of re-establishing a district-level safety team for the pandemic era, according to commu nication director Bonnie Birdsall. The team will be made up of a diverse group of members including law enforce ment and will review the district’s safety programs to include active threat respons es and options-based approaches to active threats, she said. The district’s operations and facilities team will continue to conduct periodic safety inspections as part of our safetySouthprogram.Burlington is still at work on revisiting its safety plan and was unable to provide further details by press time.

• Requires that all new buildings in the City of South Burlington utilize a renewable primary heating system and a renewable domestic water heating system.
The ordinance will require that all new buildings in the City of South Burlington utilize a renewable primary heating system and a renewable domestic water heating system. The objective is to achieve a high degree of conservation of energy and, where possible, reduce emissions of greenhouse gasses. This will be achieved by requiring the heating and domestic water heating systems in all new buildings to meet specified energy efficiency performance standards and maximum allowable heat loss standards.
THE RESIDENTS OF THE CITY OF SOUTH BURLINGTON are hereby notified and warned that a public hearing will be held at the South Burlington City Hall, 180 Market Street, South Burlington, Vermont, on Monday, September 19, 2022, at 7:30 P.M., for a second reading and potential final passage of a proposed new City ordinance regulating heating systems and domestic water heating systems in new buildings.

• Defines new buildings as all new construction of residential, commercial, or industrial buildings with a heating source and/or a domestic water heating source.

The Other Paper • September 8, 2022 • Page 9 leaders to take the necessary actions. We have the resources in South Burlington to ensure future residents will have access to nutritious food. All we need to do is save the land. We have enough fertile soils to feed most of us. A few years ago, the city commissioned a study to determine whether there was sufficient arable land to grow enough nutritious food to feed the entire popula tion of South Burlington. The answer was yes.Since that report, some of those fertile soils have been paved over for housing and the population of South Burlington has increased. However, this is not an all-or-nothing effort. We still have enough land areas to feed thousands. But this can’t happen if we don’t save the land from being paved over for more housing developments.Housingon open lands eliminates the soil and at the same time adds more people who will need to be fed. Our city has plenty of areas for affordable housing in already developed areas. Any new housing should be located far from open lands that possess arable soils. For decades experts have known about the climate crisis and tried to get deci sion makers to change course. Tragically, elected officials did not take the necessary actions. Now we find ourselves precarious ly close to the point of no return. If leaders had taken the recommended steps when they were first alerted, we would not be in the climate crisis we are experiencing today. Experts are now sounding the alarm that our food system is in jeopardy. Will this threat also be ignored? We have the time and the resources to address the impending food crisis. South Burlington leaders can set in motion actions that will help thousands. It all hinges on saving our soils — one of our most precious natural resources. If we do this, perhaps other Vermont towns will follow our example and do the same. GRECO continued from page 8
The proposed ordinance also includes a process for obtaining a waiver from the requirements of the ordinance and mandates the appointment of a building inspector.
I am advocating that the South Burling ton City Council enact robust regulations that protect all the remaining arable soils from development and establish guidelines and incentives to enable local food produc tion.

Heading into the November election, which will bring two ballots to South Burlington voters — a statewide and a local one — Kinville is excited to give the highspeed scanner a second try and tweak the process with what she’s learned so far. “It is definitely going to be a huge time saver for us,” she said. But nothing is free, she noted, and she doesn’t know how much these high-speed scanners might cost should the city be interested in purchasing one once this testing phase is Addingover.more staff, permanent or even seasonal, could be anoth er way to relieve pressure on the clerk’s office. City manager Jessie Baker said she and Kinville have been talking for a couple months about how elections have changed during the pandemic, how the city’s popula tion is growing, and how best to meet those “There’sneeds.been a huge uptick in mail-in ballots and South Burl ington has increased its population by 26 percent in 20 years — that changes the demand on our staff far beyond just the day of the election,” Baker said. “Donna, the board of civil authority, the city council and the justices of the peace do an amazing job, but it’s a lot to put on them for ensuring we hold trust in our electoral process.” She and Kinville have talked about adding seasonal staff, like the recreation and parks depart ment.“Donna has great ideas. She is such a pro and such a leader for the city and for clerks statewide. My job is to support her and what she needs,” Baker said. The General Election is on Nov. 8. Some big-ticket statewide items up for a vote include Prop 5, which proposes enshrining reproductive health care into the state consti tution, and the races for governor and Congress, among other races. Locally, South Burlington will vote on whether to join a communica tions union district, which builds and manages broadband-internet infrastructure, with a few neigh boring municipalities.
“We love technology in South Burlington; anything we can do to make things more streamlined. But making sure the integrity of the election still stands is my number one thing. I don’t care how fast it is: If it’s not reliable, I don’t want anything to do with it,” Kinville said.With that said, Kinville said she is confident in the primary results and did not see any inconsistencies.

Once all early ballots are account ed for, that information is uploaded to a standalone computer — not connected to the internet, Kinville noted — and combined with results from the polling location tabula tors to produce the overall election results.“Itwas nice to be able to take the write-in ballots, segregate them and mark them as one batch,” she added.One aspect of the scanner that she is not “crazy about” is the fact that the computer does not natural ly separate the results by district when combining early ballots with day-of, to see how residents voted locally. She said if she uses these scanners in the future, she would create an Excel spreadsheet to manually keep track of district-bydistrict vote tallies.
