Essex police
get new
contract
Walk-on bike

Vermonter?
By JASON STARR
The Essex Reporter
The union of Essex Police
officers and the Essex Selectboard
have agreed on a new three-year
employment contract that includes
annual salary increases of roughly
3.5 percent and increases officers’
financial contribution to their health
care.
The selectboard unanimously
approved the contract during its
Monday meeting. The board and
officers’ union had been negotiating
since January on a successor to their
previous three-year agreement.
The annual salary increases in the
new contract combine cost-of-living
and seniority-based increases to
reach a 3.5 percent increase this year,
a 3.23 percent increase next year and
a 3.6 percent increase in the third
year, according to Essex Finance
Director Doug Fisher. The increases
are similar to those in the previous
three-year deal, he said.
Officers agreed to increase their
contribution toward health care
premiums from 6 percent in the
previous contract to 10 percent in
the new contract. They also will be
contributing toward their health care
deductibles for the first time, at a rate
of 10 percent in the new contract.
“It helps us lower our expenses,”
Fisher said of the increased employee
contribution to health care. “It’s
definitely beneficial for the town.”
Embedded in the contract is
language that allows the sides to
re-open negotiations on health care
cost-sharing next year in anticipation
of the mandated conversion to the
state-run health care exchange in
2015. Employers with 50 or fewer
workers will be mandated to purchase
insurance on the exchange this fall.
Employers with between 50 and
100 employees will be mandated
to purchase on the exchange the
following year. The Town of Essex
employs approximately 70 people.
The contract will be renegotiated
once more information is known about
the costs associated with purchasing
insurance on the state run exchange.
“Nobody really knows for sure
what it’s going to look like,” Fisher
said. “We’ll be talking about it as it
takes better shape.”
By that time, the police department
will be close to moving into its new
headquarters on Maple Street, which
was approved by voters in March. The
project is currently working through
state and local permitting. Officers
will also be driving new cars, as the
police department converts its fleet to
Ford Explorers and Tauruses over the
next two years.

Swiss chard, kale, rhubarb and
sugar snap peas may not sound like
typical items in a first-grader’s diet.
But children in Brownell Library’s
first-ever children’s gardening
program are discovering a love for
all things fresh.
“We wanted to get kids involved
in growing their own food,” Youth
Services Librarian Mary Graf said
of the reason behind organizing
the program. “A lot of kids don’t
have gardens in their yards and
we wanted to offer them a chance
to discover where their food comes
from.”
A troop of children, parents
and library staff members walk
from Brownell to a garden plot at
the Summit Street School every
Tuesday morning at 9 a.m. to weed
and water the garden and harvest
any vegetables that are ready.
Then, the produce is incorporated
into a meal in Brownell’s Fresh
from the Garden program at 2 p.m.
“Whatever is available for
picking Tuesday morning ends up
being prepared Tuesday afternoon
through the Fresh from the Garden
program,” Graf explained. “Not
all kids participate in both (the
gardening and cooking programs),
but as time has gone on more and
more kids have wanted to do both
because doing one makes them

Bicyclists have not been
able to roll their rides onto
Amtrak’s Vermonter since the
baggage car was removed over
13 years ago. But that’s going
to change next week.
On Wednesday, Amtrak
will launch a study into
the feasibility of allowing
passengers to travel on the
Vermonter with their bikes
again
by…well,
allowing
passengers to travel on the
Vermonter with their bikes
again.
The northbound Vermonter
will be equipped with one
car borrowed from a Midwest
station that has rack space for
four bicycles on Wednesday.
Four passengers will board
the train with their bikes in
Springfield,
Mass.,
before
departing at the next stop and
biking back to their starting
location, allowing four new
bicyclists to travel the train’s
next leg. Boarded bicyclists will
continue to swap places with
newcomers at 11 stops, with
the final foursome boarding in
Essex Junction and departing
in St. Albans.
Following
the
trial
run, Amtrak will provide a
survey to the 44 participants
to collect feedback about the
rider’s experiences travelling
with their bikes by train.
Nancy Schulz, executive
director of VT Bicycle &
Pedestrian
Coalition,
is
hopeful that the feasibility
study will result in the
permanent restoration of the
bike commuter service on the
Vermonter.
“Having Amtrak once again
allow bicycles to be rolled onto
trains in Vermont has been
a long-time advocacy goal of
many in the bike community,”
she noted. “I’m just delighted
Amtrak is willing to look into
this and considering restoring
(the service). I don’t think
this is an effort to quiet the
bike community that has been

Vermont Interscholastic Council gives students a voice
By ELSIE LYNN
The Essex Reporter
“I wanted to see things in my school improve and nothing
was happening,” said Zach Holman, a 2013 graduate of
Champlain Valley Union High School.
So, last year as a junior, Holman decided to do something
about it. He formed a coalition of students from throughout
Chittenden County to create a collective voice for students.
He sent out emails last fall to students who might be
interested.
“The students of Chittenden County need to have a voice
together to have a county-wide impact, and to be able to
create change,” he said.
The most enthusiastic responses to Holman’s inquiring
emails last fall came from Tim Rizvanov, a 2013 graduate
of Essex High School, and Avni Nahar, a 2013 graduate
of South Burlington High School. Together with their
respective school governments and CVU Student Council
Advisor Katherine Riley, the Vermont Interscholastic
Council was formed by the start of the 2012-2013 school
year.
“The goal for this year was to make a solid group for
VIC,” Holman explained.
“We did that for sure,” added EHS junior and VIC
member Moira Taylor.
An estimated 40 students joined VIC in this inception
year, with about 12 core members.
“The goal of the Vermont Interscholastic Council is to
develop a creative network between student leaders to
share ideas and create unity to foster relationships between
schools and strengthen the student voice to the schools,
school boards, and local and state governments,” reads the
VIC purpose statement.
The organization is completely student based and
student run. VIC will operate with five or six rising seniors
next year who will assume leadership roles in organizing
committees, meetings, food, agendas and events.
VIC meets once a month in a classroom for approximately
two hours, but as Taylor noted, meetings rarely stop at hour
two. During the meetings representatives from various
student governments present reports on policies, issues,
concepts and activities relevant to Chittenden County
student-life.
“It’s casual but formal reporting,” Taylor said, describing
VIC as a think tank. “Outside the formal meetings, there
are the occasional smaller committee meetings and the
agenda meetings… It’s a solid commitment — maybe three
to four hours a week all on the student’s own time.”
Over a year’s time, VIC has worked not only to create
a new student group, but they also initiated conversation
around student issues, provided student feedback for
respective administrations and orchestrated a student
movie night.
One of VIC’s points of pride this year was their progress
on a “no homework” policy. The idea stemmed from CVU
where students are not assigned homework over major
breaks like winter holiday and summer vacation.
“Having a break that is actually time-off allows students
to take a mental break that they now don’t get,” explained
Holman, noting that Advanced Placement classes are an
exception to this policy.
“I was definitely a fan of it,” said Taylor. “And I think
the majority of VIC was in support of it too.”
The Essex High School administration is now considering
the student input.
VIC was also called on by Vermont State Senator
Jeanette White (D- Windham) in January to provide a
student opinion on a bill that “if passed would ensure that
students would be afforded freedom of expression within the
public schools of Vermont,” Taylor explained. “The bill itself
it very vague, as it needs to be, for nobody knows exactly
where this freedom would lie and where its new boundaries
would be, whether it’s through school print, classroom
discussions or assemblies.

Vision Property Management
Joe Villemaire
Billed as the “newest
and
most
exciting
apartment complex” in
Chittenden County, The
Lofts Essex will open for
tenants this fall. Boasting
energy efficiency, a state
of the art exercise facility,
wireless, onsite mailboxes
and laundry facilities, as
well as individual decks,
open floor plans, storage
lockers and underground
parking for $1,150-$1,500
per month — the new
apartments,
prospective
tenants say, offer a very
competitive rental option in
the marketplace.
The Lofts Essex is
being
constructed
on
approximately 2.5 acres at
42 Susie Wilson Road in
Essex Junction, adjacent
to the existing Cornerstone
Commons condominiums
(which used to be home to
The Wilson Inn.)
Joe Villemaire grew up
in Colchester, but spent
most of his childhood
working at The Wilson Inn,
which was owned by his
father, Roger. A contractor
by trade, Roger bought the
property at 10 Kellogg Road
in the early 1980s and built
the inn in 1985. Villemaire
began working full-time at
The Wilson Inn as a junior
at Colchester High School.
“In 2005, it was either
move on to something
different, or start my own
company and continue
to do what I enjoyed at
a property I had grown
up at,” Villemaire said,
explaining that that was
the year The Wilson Inn
was converted into what
residents now know as the
Cornerstone Commons.
So
Villemaire
started Vision Property
Management that year and
took on the management
of Cornerstone Commons.
Most recently, Villemaire
worked with his father to
complete The Lofts Essex.
Villemaire also manages
roughly 10 other apartment
rentals.
When
the
Essex
resident is away from his
properties he stays busy
traveling, taking graphic
design classes at CCV and
pursuing his two passions:
art and music.
“Art drifted away many
years back,” Villemaire
said, “but with the digital
age it has come back to me
recently. Music has been in
my blood from a very young
age. I had the opportunity
to tour the country many
times in my late teens to
early 20’s before settling
down. I currently play
drums in the ’80s rock cover
band Pleasuredome, which
is amazing. I feel blessed
I can play music at a later
age and have just as much,
if not more, fun than I did

curious about the other.
I think it’s the most
satisfying
when
kids
can come harvest in the
morning and then see
what that can turn into.”
Fresh from the Garden
participants have used the
garden produce to make
rhubarb berry smoothies,
a warm kale salad with
dried cranberries and
lemon dressing, pasta with
early summer vegetables,
kale pesto and strawberry
vinaigrette. Sound tasty?
The children involved in
the program seem to think
so.
“We have had parents
state that their children,
who
are
normally
picky eaters, are boldly
exploring
new
foods
and not only enjoying
them at the program but
encouraging parents to
incorporate them into
their home cooking,” said
Young Adult Librarian
Kat Redniss, who has
led many of the Fresh
from the Garden cooking
sessions.
“One mom told me her
daughter is eating salad
for the first time in her
life and making her own
vinaigrette every day,”
Graf added. “That is in
a nutshell what we had
hoped would come from
this program. We want
kids to try new things,
discover new flavors and
learn more about their
food.”
Children
entering
first grade or above are
welcome to join either foodfocused program, with
younger children welcome
when accompanied by a
guardian. To sign up, visit
the library or call 8786956.
Q: What do you find
rewarding about your
work?
A: I have always had a
great focus and attention to
detail (my mother still tells
stories of me showing off to
my grandmother how clean
my room was when I was a
young child), some would
call me a bit meticulous….
but I think it works for
when you are taking care
of properties and rentals.
A lot of apartment owners
don’t maintain their units,
or don’t even clean much
between tenants, that’s
just not me. I feel people
appreciate a meticulous
property or unit, and I
enjoy the feedback I get and
the reaction from others
when they see a property I
manage.
Q: What is your
assessment of the rental
market in the area?
A: The market is
definitely turning around
from where it was a
couple years ago. For the
rental market, the need
is very much there for
quality apartments. The
biggest thing I hear from
prospective tenants is how
run down and dirty most of
the places they look at are.
My focus is to offer them a
place they feel comfortable
in as soon as they walk in
the door.
Q: How would you
describe
The
Lofts
Essex?
A: The Lofts Essex
is a project I have had
the pleasure of working

directly with my father
on. This property has
been in the works for six
years and it is amazing
to see it finally come to
fruition. I have turned
away many other property
management offers over
the years, wanting to focus
on the properties I had, as
well as the development of
this new building. (These)
were most important to me.
The Lofts Essex is
an apartment complex
targeted for professionals
(though, of course, everyone
is welcome to apply) and will
be available for occupancy
on Oct. 1. I am currently
taking
applications
at
www.theloftsessex.com.
Q: What plans do you
have moving forward?
A: Moving into the
future, I look forward to
possibly expanding out
from property management
and apartment rentals. I
would like to get involved
with Real Estate sales as
well to learn about each
aspect of Real Estate.
What drives me in life
is finding a good balance
between work and personal
life, family is important as
well as good friends… and
who knows what the future
may bring.

Aw, shucks
Local goat farm welcomes visitors
By EMILY DAVIS
For The Essex Reporter
It’s hard not to feel loved when a baby goat wrapped in a
hand-knit sweater licks your calf. How could you pass up the
chance to pet this creature when all it makes you want to do
is smile?
Welcome to Aw Shucks Goat Farm, where owner Donna
Underwood Owens cares for and raises goats in her own
backyard in the northeast woods of Essex. Fenced in with toys,
doghouses for shelter and plenty of healthy food, the goats are
free to roam and entertain their visitors.
“Goats are like Doritos, you can’t have just one,” explained
Owens. “They just grew on me.”
And now she has 19 of them.
Owens always wanted to be a farmer. She explained that she
first bought goats 11 years ago and since then the satisfaction
of creating a place that brings happiness to herself and others
has been tremendous.
“Many mentally and physically challenged kids come here
and the goats help calm and excite them,” Owens remarked.
“It’s not a ‘business’ business, it’s a fun hobby that I want to be
all about smiles and peace.”
The goat farm, located at 239 Osgood Hill Road, is open to
the public year round.
“The majority of the baby goats right now are being sold so
that people can raise them for specific purposes or to simply
build close relationships with them at a young age,” Owens
said. “Dry bedding, clean hay and water, and no ‘junk food’ is
all that they really need… plus my love.”
Owens asks that those interested call her at 879-4618
before visiting the farm to see or buy these “low maintenance”
friends.

Dealing with unintended consequences
Planners look at Colchester's Main Street, Severance Road as Circ alternative projects
By JASON STARR
The Essex Reporter
Colchester’s roads have
become the primary outlet
for east-west traffic that
was once planned for the
Circumferential Highway.
With only one leg of the
Circ built — Route 289 in
Essex — and hope all but
squashed for construction
of the western leg through
Colchester, local and regional
planners are examining how
to ease pressure on the town
roads that are picking up the
slack.
Of particular interest
are Main Street through
Colchester’s village and
Severance
Road,
both
of which swell with a
procession of vehicles during
peak commuter hours.

“Students on VIC are so
involved,” added Taylor’s
brother Glade, who is also
a rising senior at EHS.
“Students in VIC represent
the athletic, academic and
extracurricular
student
communities,
and
this
gives the VIC voice a well
rounded perspective.”
The group also prides
itself on building community
between students of all
Chittenden County schools.
This year VIC put on its
first event — a movie night.
On Dec. 7, VIC showed “The
Dark Knight Rises” to about
40 students at Burlington
High School. A raffle helped
raise $120 for the group.
“Our goal with the events
are to get the VIC name out
there, show students what
we’re all about and to build
community,” said Taylor.
“It’s an opportunity
to meet people besides at
sporting events,” added
Holman. “We’re bridging a
gap between schools.”
With a year’s work
under their belts, the Taylor
siblings are looking forward
to next year as leaders on
VIC.
“My future is in my
own hands for the first
time,” said Taylor. “It gives
students a voice outside of
school; it gives us a bigger
outlet… I’m embarrassed
this
hasn’t
happened
before.”
years ago offered special
consideration to Chittenden
County road improvement
projects that could help
offset the effects of his
decision to stop pursuing the
Circ Highway — a road that
was envisioned as a beltway
through the suburbs around
Burlington. A planning
group was convened to
study projects that fit that
description and recommend
them for approval in the
Vermont Legislature.
This is the final year that
special “circ alternative”
funding
has
been
earmarked, and Colchester
planners are hoping Main
Street and Severance Road
get the attention they feel
they deserve as corridors
hard hit by the demise of the
Circ.
“Not building the Circ
results in the unintended
consequence
of
the
redistribution
of
traffic
to local roadways where
it wasn’t intended to be
on a permanent basis,”
Colchester Public Works
Director Bryan Osborne
explained.
For travelers coming
from the north down Route 7,
Main Street and Severance
Road are the only way to
get to the existing leg of the
Circ through Essex. In the
opposite direction, the Circ
dumps drivers out right at
the entrance to Main Street.

Burglary in Essex Junction
The Essex Police Department received a
report of a residential burglary on Roscoe Court
in Essex Junction at around 12:45 p.m. on July
2.
Officers responded and located a subject on
Pearl Street matching the description provided
by a witness. The investigation determined the
the current issues along
Main Street and Severance
Road and envisioning an
improved future.
Osborne notes that both
town officials and Main
Street residents support a
more
pedestrian-friendly
village
center
around
Burnham Library and the
Town Meeting House. The
fact that those facilities, as
well as a handful of local
churches, are set on the
south side of the road while
the majority of residents
live on the north side
creates a need for improved
pedestrian facilities, he said.
“The question is how to
manage (the traffic) and
accommodate it so it doesn’t
burden those corridors or
the people who live on those
corridors,” said Osborne.
“There is a lot of interested
in seeing things happen in
the village to make it more
like a village and less like
a busy state highway with
some houses situated on it.”
While only preliminary
ideas have been discussed,
Osborne said the primary
areas of focus are the
intersection of Main Street,
East Road and Mill Pond
Road; sidewalk, crosswalk
and
street
lighting
improvements; and trafficcalming measures.
“There are a lot of
destination points in the
village that people would
like to be able to get to more
easily,” Osborne said.

Get used to hearing
‘No’ on health care
By EMERSON LYNN
The five-person Green Mountain Care Board is
arguably Vermont’s most powerful group of individuals.
On Monday, it exercised some of that power when it
ruled the health insurance rates proposed for the state’s
health insurance exchange were too high.
The insurers, Blue Cross Blue Shield and MVP, can
either appeal to the state's Supreme Court, or accept the
judgment. The board asked both to reduce their average
premium rates by roughly five percent. This is the board's role. It has the explicit
responsibility to control what is spent on health care in
Vermont. No other state has a board with this degree of
control or authority. The board also has the authority to
tell hospitals what they can spend, or what expenses are
acceptable and which are not. The board is not responsible for the health insurance
exchange itself – which is operated through the state’s
Medicaid agency – but it does regulate the prices set
by the insurance companies that intend to provide
coverage for the exchange. It also has the authority and
the responsibility to change the fee-for-service payment
system that now exists.
In short, it not only holds the strings of the purse, but
the purse itself. That control affects every single Vermonter, every
single region of the state, one of the state’s largest
employers and the future of a $5 billion industry.
It's important that the board does it right. The enormity of the task is what invites all
participants to sift through each board decision.
Monday’s ruling, for example, has a considerable effect
on both insurers. A five percent reduction is not much to
the individual ratepayer but it’s a sizable amount for the
insurers. It could represent the bulk of their margins. The decision also has the effect of lowering the base
upon which next year’s rate decision may be rendered.
But the board’s decision went deeper than how the
insurers might be affected, or the savings that might be
realized by consumers. What the board did was to signal
that there’s too much money being spent and that the
board’s responsibility is to force all players to figure out
how to get by on less.
The board may look at the health care industry as an
enormously complex beast, but it also understands that
the rules of the game are relatively simple. Rule number one: say no.
This board has been in place for less than two
years. Its infancy was spent understanding the state’s
health care industry, the players and the politics. The
board has also had to develop a partnership with the
federal government, understanding the particulars of
the Affordable Care Act. We’re just now getting to the
point where the board’s direction will begin to affect the
course of events in significant fashion. That’s why we pay particular attention to what the
board says and does, and the words of Board Chairman
Anya Rayer Wallach Monday were particularly
interesting. She talked about the complexity of the
process and how “opaque” the analyses were from both
Blue Cross and MVP. She said the process needs to
become more transparent and more easily understood.
But she said that the answer might not be the singlepayer system that has characterized the state’s health
care initiative from the outset. She said the state can
reduce administrative costs from multiple players as
easily as it can with a single payer system.
She was quoted as saying: “The more central issue is
how are we building up what is a reasonable health care
cost? How are we constructing that analysis?”
In other words, the savings gleaned from a single
payer system are marginal. That’s not where the money
is. The single-payer concept is more political than
practical and quickly becoming outdated.
The hint Ms. Wallach seems to be dropping is that the
objective will be lost if the focus remains on who pays.
It’s not about who, it’s about how much and for what.
And it’s about saying no. The fundamental flaw of Act 48 – the state’s health
care reform legislation – was establishing the belief that
Vermonters could have all the care they wished for,
from any physician they chose, and for less money, just
by rejiggering the payment system.
Health care is largely a usage issue. If we continually
ask for more, we will pay more. That’s particularly true
in Vermont, as our population continues to age.
There are two ways to deal with a usage issue: reduce
demand through healthier lifestyles, or force the system
to say no to increased services by giving them less to
begin with.
It’s a safe bet the Green Mountain Care Board will
begin saying no on a more consistent basis.
And we expected something else? Emerson Lynn is co-publisher of The Essex Reporter and The Colchester Sun

Letters to the Editor
Climate change fact check
In the June 13 edition of The Essex
Reporter (and other town newspapers
around the state), John McClaughry wrote
an article on climate change (“Gut check
on ‘climate change’”). McClaughry is the
vice president of the Ethan Allen Institute,
a “conservative think tank”. Like many
climate change denialists, McClaughry
gets his facts wrong. In the first paragraph
he states “global warming” was renamed
“climate change” after the warming did not
occur. The fact is, “climate change” was
not a term coined by tree-hugging liberals
but by conservative Republican Party
strategist Frank Luntz who thought it
sounded less severe than global warming.
McClaughry states that “since 1998,
the global temperature anomaly curve
has remained flat.” What McClaughry has
done here is called “cherry picking the
data”. Temperature varies from year to
year. Short-term changes fluctuate just like
the value of the stock market. McClaughry
has chosen a data set where the average
of the fluctuations shows a zero change.
If you extend the data another 10 years,
the average temperature is clearly rising.
This is like using stock market data from
September 2008 to March 2009 to defend
the position that putting your money
under your mattress is a better retirement
savings vehicle than stocks and bonds.
McClaughry also states the United
Nations IPCC projections were never
validated. This is not true. A paper
published in Environmental Research
Papers by Stefan Rahmstorf et. al. in 2012
shows that the temperature projections
do line up with actual measurements.
The same paper shows that the

MERRIAM
Small businesses are the backbone of
the American economy. In Vermont, this
holds especially true. Vermont has more
than 75,000 small employers, comprising a
staggering 96 percent of the companies in the
state. With more than 157,000 workers, the
small business sector accounts for nearly 60
percent of our state’s total workforce.
In short, when small businesses succeed
and thrive, it benefits all Vermonters.
Succeeding in small business requires
persistence, flexibility and energy. It also
means managing to margins that are often
razor thin by constantly seeking new ways
to drive costs down without sacrificing
service to customers or the ability to grow in
the future. These are the big challenges that
small businesses take on every single day.
This year, the third week of June
marked National Small Business Week.

Consumers entitled to know
about GMO’s
Full disclosure of food ingredients is
a right that all consumers are entitled to.
In the past few years my daughter and
other members of my family have been
diagnosed with Celiac disease or gluten
sensitivity, and since then I have come to
better understand the importance of clear
and accurate labeling.
The possibility that allergens and
toxins could exist within genetically
engineered ingredients can cause anxiety
and uncertainty for those with food
restrictions. For this reason, my family
and I do our best to avoid products
containing genetically modified organisms
(GMO’s). But while consumers can fairly
easily discern if tree nuts, wheat, eggs, or
dairy are in a product, many corporations
and companies feel that GMO’s ought to
be excluded from this level of disclosure.
That’s why I am proud to see the Vermont
Public Interest Research Group (VPIRG)
summer canvassers hitting the pavement
to help give my family the ability to know
what’s in our food.
Mandating the labeling
of GMO’s will help enable those with food
restrictions to eat safely. If you support
labeling GMO’s, I urge you to contact your
senators, and ask them to support this bill
during the next legislative session.

projected rise of sea levels was too low;
the oceans rose more than predicted.
McClaughry quotes Dr. John Christy
saying “in the U.S., high temperature
records
are
not
becoming
more
numerous.” While the U.S. has certainly
seen record highs with 362 in 2012, we’re
talking about “global warming” here,
not surface temperatures in the U.S. 93
percent of the global heating is going into
the oceans, not land. Nine of the 10 hottest
years have occurred since 2000.
McClaughry then makes a case for
warming caused by solar activity. After
many paragraphs of denying the globe
is warming, he suggests “much of the ...
warming … is in fact a product of solar
activity”. Well, is it warming or not?
The majority of McClaughry’s article
is not even about the science of global
warming, it’s about politics. The title
of his article “Gut check on ‘climate
change’” indicates his position is based on
emotion and not good science. There is no
scientific controversy on climate change.
Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists
(McClaughry is not a climate scientist)
agree the globe is warming.
The controversy is entirely political:
What can we do about it and how are
we going to pay for it? Climate change
denialists try to show the globe is not
warming. If that fails they try to make
it look like humans are not responsible.
McClaughry and his conservative think
tank are simply looking for a way to avoid
paying to clean this mess up.
Regardless of the globe warming
or not, fossil fuels will not last forever.
We need to press forward developing
renewable energy and cleaning up the

great opportunity to highlight how some
Vermont small businesses are meeting
these challenges. A top item on that
list is managing energy costs through
investments in energy efficiency. Energy
efficiency saves money for businesses, and
can offer additional benefits by improving
the comfort and experience of employees
and customers alike.
New LED and other high-efficiency
lighting technologies, for example, offer
the opportunity to customize lighting in
ways that were not possible just a few years
ago, while slashing electricity costs. LEDs
can offer energy savings of more than 50
percent compared to CFLs, and 75 percent
compared to incandescent lighting. They
have very long lifespans, which reduces
maintenance hassles for businesses.
Increasingly,
Vermont
retailers
are
adopting LEDs to display their products in
the best light; grocery stores are installing
LEDs in refrigerator cases to minimize heat
and reduce food spoilage; and office spaces
are using controls that automatically dim
overhead lights when the sun is shining in
the windows. In all these cases, better use of
energy is good for the bottom line.
Pete’s Greens in Craftsbury, whose
founder Pete Johnson was named this year’s
Vermont’s “Small Business Person of the
Year” by the Small Business Administration,
is a company that exemplifies the drive to
reduce energy waste. When confronted with
the need to rebuild their facility from the
ground up due to a devastating fire, they did
their homework and worked with Efficiency
Vermont. This meant designing a new space
that minimized energy waste on all fronts:
insulation that holds heat in the winter and
keeps the building cooler in summer, and
high efficiency refrigeration and lighting
systems that will make the business much
less vulnerable to energy price increases in
the future. Reducing the amount of money
being spent on wasted energy lets Pete’s
Greens focus more of their resources on
meeting the needs of their customers and
growing their business.
For Northshire Brewery in Bennington,
taking steps to reduce energy usage made
good business sense. They needed to get
control of their energy costs, but like
many small businesses, they did not have
capital to spare. Working with Efficiency
Vermont, they were able to take advantage
of an innovative loan program to borrow
the funds needed to make the investment
in energy efficiency. The loan was
structured so their payments were less
than their energy savings. In other words,
they made a needed investment in their
business – and they are paying less out of
pocket every month from day one.
The benefits of reducing energy waste
aren’t limited to individual businesses.
When Vermont’s small businesses invest
in energy efficiency, they don’t just help
their own bottom line, they support the
bottom line of other local small businesses
too. Energy efficiency improvements
in Vermont are carried out by dozens of
small businesses and sole proprietorships
all around the state. By investing in
energy efficiency instead of spending
money on energy waste, Vermont small
businesses help to support the local
economy and keep more of our dollars in
our local communities and available for
local investment. It’s a win-win scenario
for our state: every dollar invested in
energy efficiency generates five dollars in
benefits for the economy.
Vermont businesses, including our
small businesses, need every edge they
can get to compete in a global economy
that gets more competitive every day.
Thousands of these small businesses in
Vermont are doing the math and taking
advantage of the savings that investing
in energy efficiency can provide. Waste of
any kind is bad for the bottom line: so now
is the time to applaud all the Vermont
businesses that are taking control of their
energy usage, and planning for the long
term.

Commerce and Community Development; Jim

The VT Bicycle & Pedestrian

for the return of this service for
years, according to Schulz, who
emphasized that her support for
this service is many-sided.
“We live in a different age now
– an age that is more and more
aware of the impacts of climate
change,” she explained. “We also
live in an era of health crisis and
rampant obesity. Allowing people
to hop on a train with their bikes
would contribute greatly to some
of the serious problems of our age.
It will also bring money into the
state because having bicycles be
able to roll onto trains will attract
more tourists to Vermont.”
Most of the 44 spaces Amtrak

but a few openings remained
at the Claremont, Windsor and
White River Junction stops. To

BACK TO THE
FUTURE
No, this isn’t going to be a
nostalgic look back at the famous
DeLorean sports car featured in the
“Back to the Future” movies. Instead,
we evoke the time-travel image to
take a look at the latest technology in
automobile propulsion that was all the
rage—over 100 years ago. If you are
a car lover who frets over the demise
of the internal combustion engine, you
should know that the earliest vehicles
were mostly driven by electricity and
steam. In fact, in 1900, of the 4,192
vehicles registered in the United
States, 1,681 were driven by steam,
1,575 by electricity, and only 936 by
gasoline piston engines. Unlike today,
the old power grid could not sustain
electric car travel.
This week’s interesting column
has been brought to you as a public
service. At ESSEX AUTOMOTIVE
SERVICES, we know that you rely
on your vehicle to safely transport
you and your family. You can trust
our expertise; we are experienced
and knowledgeable in all aspects
of automotive technology and can
perform all the necessary repairs

Pet of the Week
Margie
6 year old Spayed Female
Reason Here: Unable to care for.
SUMMARY: Sweet Margie! With her big eyes, soft brown coat
and round little body, Margie reminds us of a little bird. Quiet
and humble, she’s quick to purrrr, and will drop her face as if
bowing in reverence for a pet on the head. Margie is not the sort
of kitty who
will assert herself as the queen of your
home and assume you’re her subject;
rather, she’ll be your bosom buddy,
happy to be where you are and do
whatever you want to do. Margie
stole the hearts of our staff a long
time ago--and when she recently
stole the heart of a visitor, she got
her adoption fee sponsored!
Margie is now
free to adopt.

The Essex 11-12 softball team claimed
the District 3 championship title on
Saturday after posting a 15-1 victory over
Northwest. The following is a recap of the
team’s title run, as reported by coach Jim
Svarczkopf:
Game 1: Essex makes the most of six
hits to top Northwest
Essex and Northwest both had scoring
chances on Saturday, June 29, but it was
Essex that was able to capitalize on them
to pull out a 10-5 win in Swanton. Regan
Day did her best to jumpstart the offense
for Essex, reaching base three times. She
scored three runs and had one RBI. The
offense got started in the first inning
with a walk to Erin Mulcahy followed
by a bunt single by Abi Johnson moving
Mulcahy all the way to third and a single
by Day. Emily Harvey allowed five runs
over six innings and recorded the victory.
She struck out eight, walked two and
surrendered five hits. Essex never let go of
its lead after the first inning, scoring four
runs on an error, an RBI single by Day
and two steals of home. Essex added four
more runs in the top of the third. A clutch
steal of home brought in Day to open the
scoring in the frame. That was followed up
with a steal of home by Kaitlyn Butkus.
Three Northwest runs crossed the plate
in the bottom half of the sixth, making
the score 10-5. An error, an RBI single
by Caylin Bessette and a hit by pitch set
off the Northwest rally. Essex’s Harvey
induced a Kailie Manchester line out to
close things out. Jamie Morin added a
base hit and Amy Gilbert had a double for
Essex.
Game 2: Essex drubs St. Albans
Essex pounded St. Albans on Sunday,
June 30, 14-1 at Swanton in five innings.
Essex scored six runs in the fifth on a tworun single by Megan Ardren, a walk by
Kristy Svarczkopf, a walk by Regan Day,
a passed ball and a fielder’s choice. Emily
Harvey led Essex’s offensive threat, as
she got on base three times in the game
including a double. She scored three runs
and had one RBI. Abbey Gleason had an
impressive outing against the St. Albans’
lineup. St. Albans managed just two hits
off of the Essex pitcher, who allowed one
earned run, walked three and struck out
three during her five innings of work.
Essex got off to a fast start thanks to
a first inning rally that saw four runs
cross the plate on two singles and a walk
by Kaylan Ferreira. Essex piled on four
more runs in the top of the fourth. The
inning looked promising, as Amy Gilbert
singled, scoring Harvey to kick things off.
That was followed up by Ardren’s single,
ALSO IN THIS SECTION:
S
o summer is here, but it brought along
some rain. Before Saturday, summer
2013 had brought rain, thunder or
lightning to town every day but two.
A little more sunshine would be nice and I
could do without the monsoon. Weather
aside, I hope you had a nice, fun-filled Fourth
of July. We watched the fireworks from our
front porch. Nice show; loved the colors and
the finale.

bringing home Gilbert. Jamie Morin also
added a hit for Essex.
Game 3: Essex offense too much for
Northwest
Essex shut the door early on
Northwest, capturing a 15-1 victory on
Saturday, July 6, in Swanton. The game
was decided quickly as Essex exerted its
will early with 13 runs in the first three
innings. A walk by Megan Ardren, a bases
loaded walk, a fielder’s choice and a threerun error during the second inning helped
Essex put some runs on the board early.
Regan Day led Essex’s offensive threat, as
she got on base four times in the game. She
scored two runs and had two RBIs. She
singled in the third inning. Emily Harvey
got the win for Essex. She allowed one run
over four innings. Harvey struck out three
and walked none while giving up just
three hits. Essex built upon its lead with
seven runs in the third. A clutch bases
loaded walk scored Kirsten Appenzeller
to open the scoring in the frame. That
was followed up by Day’s single, bringing
home Abbey Gleason. Essex added two
more runs in the top of the fourth. A bases
loaded walk scored Rachel Yandow to
open scoring in the inning. Erin Mulcahy,
Kristy Svarczkopf and Jamie Morin all
added hits for Essex.
MacGillivray named
All-American Star
By KELLY MARCH
The Essex Reporter
Essex High School rugby standout Avery MacGillivray
headed to Greeley, Colo., on Tuesday to compete in USA
Rugby’s 2013 High School All-American Stars vs. Stripes camp.
MacGillivray was selected to compete in the national allstar camp and exhibition game by USA Rugby’s High School All
American Staff, which selected the top 50 high school women’s
players to be featured in the showcase from seven regional allstar tournaments.
“This is an honor for the entire Essex rugby community –
players, parents and coaches,” said Liz Royer, assistant coach
for the Essex Women’s Rugby Football Club (EWRFC). “While
Avery was still learning the game this year, she had great
instincts and was able to use her speed and power to play well
both on offense and defense. We are very proud of her. She has
worked hard this spring and is continuing to look for ways to
improve her game over the summer. I am looking forward to
seeing her develop into a leader both on and off the field over
the next three years.”
MacGillivray, who played inside center for EWRFC this
season, arrived in Colorado on Tuesday and will have a chance
to work with top coaches, fitness and nutrition specialists,
medics and college counselors in the days leading up to the
Stars vs. Stripes showcase on July 13.
“These young men and women have a fantastic opportunity
to take advantage of the USA Rugby resources both on and
off of the field at the 2013 High School All-American Stars
vs. Stripes camp,” noted USA Rugby High Performance
Player Development Manager Luke Gross. “From nutritional
information to college counseling and individual direction from
national team coaches, these potential Olympians and Rugby
World Cup participants will benefit throughout the entire
week.”
Having only played rugby for one year, MacGillivray is
hoping to further her knowledge of the game and improve her
play while in Colorado.
“I’m really looking forward to playing with girls (from)
all around the country,” she said. “This will be a great way to
make new friends and learn new things.”
“This is an honor for the
entire Essex rugby community –
players, parents and coaches.”

TEST
The Town of Essex Swim Team is
undefeated in early action. In its last meet
before the holiday, the team accomplished
a huge feat in defeating Burlington Tennis
Club. From what I understood after talking
to coaches from both teams, the loss was
BTC’s first in seven summers. WOW! Great
job by our coaches and swimmers. I get to see
the tail end of practice every M-F morning
when I roll into Sand Hill Pool. The Essex
team is loaded in terms of veterans, young
and rookie swimmers in age groups across
the board. Keep up the good work!
Here’s some highlights from the
meet- Quad winner: 13-14 boys- Kevin
Hancock-fly, back, breast, free; Triple
winners: 8&under girls- Ingrid Gilliamfly, breast, free; 9-10 boys- Chris Davis-fly,
breast, free; 13-14 girls- Charlotte Bracefly, back, free; 15-18 girls- Kira Hancock-fly,
back, free; Double Winner: 11-12 girls- Lucy
Miguel-fly, free.
This week the team hosted meets on
Tuesday and Thursday.
Twin State Basketball Classic
Saturday, July 13, marks the return of
the Twin State Basketball Classic between
seniors from Vermont and New Hampshire.
This will be the 31st annual game after a
two-year hiatus due to lack of sponsorship
and the loss of the governing organization
(Burlington Sunshine Rotary) that took over
for the Alhambra group from New Hampshire
approximately ten years ago.
A small group of Vermont Basketball
coaches, including Matt Johnson from
Burlington High School and Jeff Goodrich
from Essex High School, met with a
contingent of New Hampshire coaches in the
spring to organize and revive the tradition.
Coach Goodrich was the assistant coach in
2009 and head coach in 2010 for the Vermont
men’s team that won the last two games
against New Hampshire before the break. Each team will be treated to a luncheon
at Essex High School on Saturday starting at
2 p.m., with the women’s game scheduled to
start at 6 p.m. and the men’s game to follow.
Essex’s Tom Carton will represent Vermont
on the men’s team, which is being coached by
Mike Wood of Rutland and Mike Kennedy of
South Burlington.
The women’s team will be coached by
Connie LaRose of Mount Abraham and
assisted by Ute Otley of Champlain Valley
and Billy Waller of Vergennes. Tickets will
be available at the door at 5 p.m.
Come out and support this extraordinary
effort to bring the game back to the players
who have earned the opportunity to represent
their state and rekindle this great rivalry.
The plan is for the game to continue on a
rotational basis and will be hosted by New
Hampshire in 2014. Special thanks to Joe Carton of Essex
and Chris Cassidy of South Burlington for
their work securing sponsorships for this
event from local businesses and individuals.
Without their efforts, this game would not
have been possible. Track and field
Saturday saw the EHS track, the Town
of Essex and SB Rec. Departments, and
802Timing run a smooth track and field
meet. SB’s girls and CVU’s boys were the
team winners, as individual winners in agegroup events have a chance to qualify for the
National Hershey Park T+F Meet in PA next
month. I will keep you posted on that. Pavel
Dvorak’s timing crew did its usual stellar
job. MMU summer track coach Bill Eschholz,
his HS Gatorade award-winning son, Alec,
announcer Bob Laird, my wife Tina, SB’s
Todd Goodwin and a host of volunteers were
instrumental in the day’s success.
The Essex Parks and Rec. girls’ team
placed third with 86 points while the boys
finished eighth scoring 58 points. Individual
winners were Sade Hankey 15 100m, 200m;
Patrick Herrin 9-10 100m; 4x50m girls’ 7-8
relay of Harriet Danis, Megan Richardson,
Emmerson Stapleton, and Emily Stempek;

Personal notes
Not that I watch a lot
of commercials because
we DVR everything except
some sporting events, but
you must have seen the cell
phone adds with the guy
doing the seminar with the
little kids. Funny. Even
though I am a huge Coke
fan, the Pepsi commercial
with the little baby doing
the guitar solo is a riot!
Get well soon wishes to
all-star Sand Hill desk girl
Linnea Willey, who had a
knee operation last week.
Stop by the house to chat
and wish her well.
Birthday wishes
Happy
birthday
to
Jericho’s Kyran McNulty,
who turns 2-years-old next
week. She is growing fast, is
so intelligent she may have
to skip kindergarten and
will be a big sister any time
now. Also happy birthday
wishes to my niece, Jenna,
who turned 26 last week.
She is a highly skilled
nurse in upstate NY who
is a beautiful young lady. I
am so proud of her. Showcase

Michael’s
College Department of
Athletics announced its
2013 Athletic Hall of
Fame class last Friday,
with five new members
set to be enshrined at the
26th annual Hall of Fame
Banquet on September 20.
Essex Junction native
Jennifer Voigt Agarwal
‘93 – a three-time allregion women’s soccer
player – will become the
10th member in the Hall
of Fame with women’s
soccer ties. She played
forward, midfield and
fullback during her fouryear career and was
named All-New England
at each position.
Agarwal anchored the
team’s defense her first
two years, playing a key
role in the Purple Knights’
nine-game shutout streak
in 1989, before moving
to midfield and forward
as an upperclassman,
serving both seasons as
a captain. She led the
Purple Knights in points
(18) and tied for the lead
in goals (7) as a junior.
Upon
completing
her
career, she stood seventh
in school annals in career
points (31).

Melting away the ice
cream headache
Late summer quinoa salad
By DR. LEWIS FIRST
For The Essex Reporter
Parents
have
beem
asking me some painful
questions about what to
do when their child gets
a headache after eating
ice cream. Well, I don’t
want anyone screaming
for anything but ice cream,
so let me provide some
information on this topic.
Ice cream headaches
occur when something cold
like ice cream touches the
roof of your child’s or your
own mouth. While the exact
mechanism that causes
these headaches is not
clear, it is thought that the
cold triggers nerves in the
brain that control the size
of blood vessels in the head.
Those blood vessels constrict
when they initially sense the
cold temperature, and then
expand in caliber to increase
blood flow to the head. This
expansion of blood vessels
may be what causes your
child’s forehead to hurt.
It’s a mechanism that may
be similar to what causes
migraine headaches, and
those prone to migraine have
more ice cream headaches.
While this type of
headache is also called a
“brain freeze,” the pain
is not due to any problem
with the brain, but with the
blood vessels in the head.
Ice cream is not the only
substance that can do this:
Anything cold can cause
headaches, from ice pops
to cold soda, water, milk or
juice.
Ice cream headaches only
last a minute or two, never
more than five, and they go
away on their own. They are
never dangerous, but can be
uncomfortable.
So what can you do?
One easy thing is to tell
your child to slow down when
they eat their ice cream. You
can also reduce how much
ice cream they put on each
spoonful they put into their
mouths. Or you can suggest
that they try to naturally
warm foods up first in the
front of their mouth before
they move it toward the back
upper roof of the mouth.
Another solution is to drink
something that is warm in
between bites or spoonfuls
of the cold substance that
causes the headache.
If the headache lasts
longer than a few minutes,
is not linked to eating or
drinking something cold,
or is associated with fever
or vomiting, then speak to
your child’s doctor since it is
not likely to be a simple ice
cream headache.
Hopefully tips like these
will melt away any concerns
you have the next time
your child gets an ice cream
headache.

This recipe is contributed by Sterling College and is
an excerpt from “The Vermont Farm Table Cookbook,”
by author Tracey Medeiros (The Countryman Press,
May 2013).
Makes 4 cups
Quinoa is a versatile whole grain that was once
a staple of the ancient Incas. Unlike other grains,
quinoa contains a good balance of the nine essential
amino acids, making it a complete protein. It cooks
quickly, and doesn’t have as strong a flavor as other
whole grains. It’s about the same size as couscous, and
is a great choice when you want more fiber, protein and
nutrients without the extra time or work.
Feel free to substitute other vegetables and
flavorings for the ones in this recipe. Quinoa salad is
great with roasted butternut squash cubes and walnuts
instead of tomatoes and corn. In the winter, try sundried tomatoes and black olives with red wine vinegar
instead of apple cider vinegar. Quinoa is a great
backdrop to highlight whatever is local and in season.
This salad is best eaten the day it’s made.
Ingredients:
1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
2 cups water
3 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 ears corn, kernels cut from cobs
1 cup cherry tomatoes cut into quarters
4 scallions, thinly sliced

Method of preparation:
Combine the quinoa and water in a small saucepan
and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover, reduce the
heat, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and the
water is absorbed, 10 to 15 minutes. Let cool.
Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a medium cast-iron
skillet over medium-high heat until very hot. Add
the corn kernels and cook, stirring constantly, until
slightly blackened on the outside and barley cooked
inside, about 30 seconds. Spread the corn on a plate in
a single layer to cool.
Transfer the corn to a large bowl and add the quinoa,
tomatoes, scallions and parsley. Stir in the vinegar
and remaining 1 tablespoon oil and season with salt
and pepper to taste. Set aside to marinate at least 30
minutes or up to 3 hours. Serve.
