In his 4th inaugural address, Gov. Phil Scott sounds a familiar call for economic recovery
Sarah Mearhoff reporting for VT Digger
Kicking off his fourth two-year term as Vermont’s top official, Republican Gov. Phil Scott in his inaugural address on Thursday echoed familiar calls for statewide economic recovery in the face of unprecedented opportunity.
But from Scott’s shoes, this legislative biennium looks quite different from the past two years and presents the state’s chief executive with new challenges.
For two years, Vermont’s state government had a historic amount of federal pandemic aid to throw at long-standing challenges. Now, those funds have run dry.
And after November’s election, Scott has to contend with a historic Democratic majority in the Legislature — one that, if united, could routinely override Scott’s vetoes, should he try to block Democrats’ priority legislation. The supermajority is a powerful new check on Scott, who has issued a record number of gubernatorial vetoes in his six years in office.
Scott was inaugurated to his fourth two-year term in a packed House chamber on Thursday, in the first large-scale event of its kind under the golden dome since the Covid-19 pandemic struck in 2020. He was met with raucous applause as he strode down the House’s center aisle toward the chamber’s dais, beaming and shaking hands with top officials in attendance.

Vermont’s statewide executives, including 3 new faces, sworn in to office
Riley Robinson reporting for VT Digger
Five statewide executives — Lt. Gov. David Zuckerman, Attorney General Charity Clark, Auditor Doug Hoffer, Secretary of State Sarah Copeland Hanzas and Treasurer Mike Pieciak — took the oath of office Thursday and officially commenced their two-year terms.
As in past years of Gov. Phil Scott’s tenure, Scott remains the lone Republican elected to serve in statewide office. Zuckerman is a Progressive/Democrat, Hoffer is a Democrat/Progressive and the remaining officials are all Democrats.
The group includes two historic firsts: Pieciak is the first openly LGBTQ+ person to serve as treasurer, and Clark is the first woman elected as the state’s top prosecutor. (Susanne Young was the first woman to hold the job, after Scott appointed her last year following the resignation of former Attorney General TJ Donovan.)
Copeland Hanzas had previously served as a state representative from Bradford and chaired the House Committee on Government Operations. Pieciak previously served as commissioner of the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, and Clark had previously served as assistant attorney general and as Donovan’s chief of staff.
Hoffer is the only executive in the group returning to the same role as last term; he has held the position of state auditor since 2013. The state has not seen so many executive offices turn over since 1968.

Covid-19 levels rise to ‘medium’ as XBB becomes main strain in New England
Erin Petenko reporting for VT Digger
Covid-19 community levels rose to “medium” this week, the Vermont Department of Health reported Wednesday.
The department reported that the number of hospital admissions was mainly responsible for the state moving from “low” to “medium.” It reported 67 new hospital admissions for Covid in the past week, compared with 33 the week before.
As of Wednesday, 49 people were hospitalized for Covid in Vermont, including two in intensive care, according to the department.
Case counts remained in the “low” category in the past week, with 391 Covid cases reported, compared with 412 the week before. But the positivity rate for PCR tests, which case data is mainly based on, has risen to 8.6% from 7.7% in the past week, suggesting that the case decline may be the result of lower testing.

Vermont’s walk-in Covid vaccination clinics to close by end of month
Erin Petenko reporting for VT Digger
The state Department of Health plans to end walk-in Covid and flu vaccine clinics by Jan. 31.
The clinics have given out between 500,000 and 1 million Covid vaccine doses over the course of the pandemic, through multiple rounds of campaigns for different age groups and boosters, according to health department data.
But in an announcement on the health department website last month, officials said there hasn’t been enough attendance in recent months to keep clinics going during the most recent iteration of the vaccine, the bivalent booster dose, which targets the Omicron variant.
“Demand is starting to peter off. We gave out about 20,000 doses of vaccine in the month of December, which is real, real low,” said Monica Ogelby, immunization program chief for the health department.
Those low numbers come despite the health department expanding evening clinics right before the holidays to try to encourage more Vermonters to come out. “Not gonna lie, I was really hopeful that that would be the case,” she said.
Ogelby said the department also believes that the state is reaching the “tail end” of the optimal time to get vaccinated, since respiratory illnesses like Covid tend to follow a seasonal pattern.
“Really, people should be getting vaccinated earlier than the end of January in order to protect themselves and their loved ones and those around them,” Ogelby said.
The vaccine will remain available through doctor’s offices and pharmacies along with some community-run clinics, like the health equity clinic, she said. Asked if the health department would consider restarting its walk-in clinics for future vaccination campaigns, she pointed to those other options.

Warm weather causes maple sap to flow temporarily
Juliet Schulman-Hall reporting for VT Digger
As the snow from last week’s storm melts and warm temperatures become Vermont’s reality, some Vermont sugarers are watching sap production begin.
Although February or March is the typical time for sugarers to collect sap and boil maple syrup, some larger producers start tapping their trees as early as mid-December to get ahead for the season.
“The reason why we start so early is … labor shortage and just the amount of miles and the amount of taps that we have to get to, it's just time consuming,” said Evan Branon, co-owner of Branon Family Maple Orchards in Fairfield.
Branon’s operation has about 90,000 taps. He said his crew members started tapping trees in the second week of December and have already seen their trees produce sap.
“Obviously, the trees are running right now, which is, you know, a little early, but it's normal to have a small run right around this time of the year,” Branon said.
The typical sugaring season for Branon begins in mid-December and usually ends in the last week of April or the first of May. However, Branon said 2021 was a very short season, ending on April 9.

The Kaskadenac Nordic Ski Club
The Nordic ski season is about to begin and local families are invited to take part in the Kaskadenac Nordic Ski Club, which is a FREE community recreational activity.
Kaskadenac Nordic Ski Club has Nordic skis, boots and poles in a variety of sizes; several miles of groomed trails that intersect with VAST trail 506 which is maintained by Weathersfield Pathfinders; and 2 weekly guided ski sessions for kids and families.
Guided Ski Lessons
The guided ski sessions are led by Sean Whalen and Ashley Hensel-Browning, and go from 3:00-4:30 each Thursday and Friday, when safe skiing conditions prevail.
They teach essential skills for safety, comfort and enjoyment of Nordic skiing. They are on a Weathersfield School bus route, and kids may be dropped off there (3057 Weathersfield Center Road) after school on ski days, by arrangement between parents, school, and the club.
Beginners are welcome and will find easy trails for learning.
Outside of the guided adventures, skiers are welcome to ski the trails any time they're open.
(*see note about waiver, below). The trail system is well connected and you can find your own level.
Snacks are also part of the experience. On the guided ski days they offer hot cocoa and healthy snacks starting around 4:00.
Waiver
To ski the trails here, you'll have to sign a waiver that says you won't sue them if you or your child gets hurt. This is standard practice for ski clubs. Waivers are available and can be signed at the clubhouse.
Please stop at the clubhouse at 3057 Weathersfield Center Road to sign a legal waiver before enjoying the trails; after that, you're good to go.
Donate, Volunteer
Kaskadenac Nordic would love to accept donations of ski equipment, volunteer time, money and other in-kind gifts. All of that will keep this wonderful free community activity going.
If you're in a family that skis with them and would like to contribute healthy snacks to Kaskadenac Nordic, please do contact them. They are looking for donations of fresh or dried fruits, baked goods, and milk for the cocoa.
Gas in the snowmobile, cocoa on the hob, parts on the groomer, skis on the rack.

A nurse will be on hand to determine if a patient’s condition calls for transfer to the emergency department.
