Zoning Board of Adjustment: Letter from the board chair

Help! 
My neighbor is out of control! 
He is building a 24-hour amusement park and people are parking on my lawn and tailgating in my driveway. It is so loud I can’t sleep. 

He has also built a garbage-burning power plant and the smoke is so thick I am afraid for my health! Trucks are blocking the road and I can’t get to work. I can’t breathe, I can’t sleep, this is ruining my life! 

How has this been allowed to happen and who can I turn to? 
Well it all happened because there was no one willing to serve on The Zoning Board.

Are you the type of person that is the secret sauce that keeps your part of the world running? Not interested in the lime light, but rather you are always present, getting things done that need doing.

Want some hard work for no pay, never get thanked, have people mad at you all the time, want to get jaded and burned out? Who would do this? You. Answer the call.

The best volunteers often serve in their role with no one ever noticing. Maybe you received accolades and praise for your hard work in the past, not likely at the Zoning Board! But hey, it needs doing!

A committee works on the design and we receive hundreds of donations of plants, time, materials and labor. A group of volunteers then comes together for 3.5 days to build this display – quite a feat if you watch our time-lapse video below from the 2019 show. 

Along with the grand garden landscaped display, the show offers a wide variety of features and activities to choose from (see highlights below).
  • Grand Garden Display (over 15,000 s. ft.) filled with flowering bulbs, shrubs, trees, and water features!
  • Local artists will be painting live in the Grand Garden Display.
  • Over 100 vendors related to the horticultural/gardening participate in the Flower Show Marketplace

Select board raises transfer station punch ticket by 75 cents.

At the Feb 21st select board meeting the the board voted to raise the price for a transfer station punch by 75 cents.
 
From the meeting minutes:
At the end of year, there will be an estimated shortfall in net variable revenues/expenses of $21,018.  

On February 16, 2023, the Transfer Station Joint Committee held a meeting where the West Windsor Select Board Chair made a motion to recommend the Weathersfield Select Board raise the punch ticket cost by $0.75 per punch effective April 1st. Weathersfield Select Board Solid Waste Representative seconded the motion. There was no additional discussion. The vote was unanimous.  

The Select Board discussed whether to increase the punch ticket cost or charge for recycling. Mr. Fuller suggested perhaps using ARPA funds or not staying open on certain days to bring down costs. 

The Select Board agreed it was important to keep the employees and their hours. Mr. Tillman and Mr. Todd both suggested that perhaps there should be a charge for recycling since it is not free to get rid of. 

Mr. Tillman stated that there is a systemic issue that needs to be addressed without Band-Aid solutions. The Select Board agreed that the $0.75 doesn’t have to be permanent. 

Editorial comment/questions:
With the increased cost to the punch ticket-will people using the transfer station add their recyclable items to their trash/compactor bags?  Thinking "I'm paying more-why sort my trash?"

This might decrease the cost of  the town's recycling hauler's fee but will it increase the compactor fee by the increased tonnage? 

In addition,  is this possibly a violation of Vermont's Universal Recycling Law.

COMPLIANCE
Is this law enforceable? Yes, however, the staff of Vermont’s Department of Environmental Conservation does not go through individuals trash looking for food scraps but focuses on education and outreach to help Vermonters comply with the food scrap ban. 

We do conduct sporadic “Spot Checks” at waste facilities to make sure haulers are complying with solid waste laws. Once we can visit facilities, we also do outreach at schools and businesses to help with waste sorts, distribute handouts, and provide technical assistance.

Lorraine "Cookie" Shand Obituary 

Loraine (Cookie) Lindberg Shand, passed away peacefully at home on Wednesday, February 22, 2023 with her family by her side. She left us too early, but to the end her strong spirit never wavered during a battle with cancer. Cookie was a cherished wife, mother, grandmother, and friend. She will be remembered for her tireless dedication to community, her caring nature for everyone she met, her constant grace, and love of teaching...

...Her generous spirit and love for her community, friends, and family was constant. After moving her family to Vermont, she joined the Ascutney Union Church and became one of the first female firefighters on the Ascutney Volunteer Fire Department. She dedicated much of her time to both organizations throughout her life. She also spent many hours (where did she find this energy?) as an ardent fundraiser and patron of the Weathersfield Proctor Library. She found pure enjoyment as part of the Weathersfield Historical Society and her retired teachers group, ADK. The list could go on...

Calling hours will be held on Saturday, March 11 from 4-6pm at the Stringer Funeral Home in Claremont, NH. A Celebration of Life will take place at 1pm on Sunday, March 12 at the Ascutney Union Church, with a reception to follow.

In lieu of flowers, memorial contributions can be made to the Ascutney Union Church (PO Box 345, Ascutney, VT 05030) and the Weathersfield Proctor Library (PO Box 519, Ascutney, VT 05030).

Bus carrying Springfield High girls basketball team collides with car on icy highway

Ethan Weinstein reporting for VT Digger

A bus carrying the Springfield High School varsity girls basketball team crashed Tuesday night after colliding with a spun-out car on an icy Interstate 91, according to state police.

At about 9:40 p.m., the car, driven by Logan Batchelder of Claremont, New Hampshire, went out of control on the “ice-covered” highway, spinning into a guardrail, according to the release from state police. He was taken to Mount Ascutney Hospital for treatment of minor injuries.

Springfield School Superintendent Sherri Nichols wrote in an email on Wednesday that there “were no student injuries reported, observed, or evaluated,” and that 11 varsity athletes were onboard the bus.

“When students arrived back at Springfield High School, Athletic Director (Rich) Saypack met the bus and checked with all of the students again for any injuries. The District has offered counseling services to all families and players,” Nichols wrote, thanking the coaches, bus driver and first responders for their work following the crash.

DUI crash in Weathersfield

A 65-year-old man from New Hampshire was arrested for DUI following a crash in Weathersfield yesterday.

The single-vehicle crash took place on Vermont Route 131 on February 20 at around 9:00 p.m.

Police say the driver, Kenneth Danforth, of Canaan, NH, was under the influence of alcohol while operating his vehicle.

Due to injuries sustained in the crash, Danforth was transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center for treatment.

He was arrested for suspicion of driving under the influence.

He was released with a criminal citation and is scheduled to appear in court on May 2 to answer the charges.

Then Again: A long line of businesses helped to shape Vermont’s economy

Mark Bushnell reporting for VT Digger

William Jarvis knew what he was doing when he finagled a deal to purchase Merino sheep from Spain. He saw them as the perfect business venture and ideally suited for his hilly New England.

Spain would have maintained its monopoly on the sheep breed, which produces voluminous amounts of high-quality wool, but the government needed money to fight a war with Napoleon. So in 1809 Jarvis began shipping Merinos to the United States, at great personal profit. He eventually moved with 400 of them to his farm in Weathersfield.

Thus began Vermont’s great sheep craze. By 1840, Vermont’s sheep population reached 1.7 million — outnumbering the human population six-to-one. The craze finally abated in the mid-1800s when Vermont sheep farmers found they couldn’t compete with cheaper wool brought in aboard railroad cars from the Midwest and aboard ships when the United States dropped import tariffs.

Sheep farming proved to be just one in a long line of industries, and sometimes single businesses, that have left their mark on Vermont. What follows is a look at some of the business ventures that have transformed the state. This has been a two-way transaction, however. These industries helped shaped Vermont’s identity and brought it prosperity, sometimes less long lasting than hoped, but in return Vermont provided its valuable resources, both natural and human.

Vermont state government bans TikTok on its devices

Fred Thys reporting for VT Digger

The executive branch of the Vermont state government has banned the use of the popular social media app TikTok on all state-owned devices, following similar moves by at least 27 other states and the federal government.

The ban, which took effect Monday, applies to all state-issued electronic devices used by executive-branch staff and contractors, according to an email sent to all employees on Friday by Shawn Nailor, Vermont’s chief information officer and secretary of digital services.

“An agency or agency employee shall not download or use the social networking service TikTok, or any successor application or service developed or provided by ByteDance Limited” — the Chinese company that owns TikTok — “or an entity owned by ByteDance Limited (‘TikTok’) on any State-owned electronic device,” Nailor wrote in the new regulation.

“An agency may not sponsor content on TikTok or maintain an agency-branded or agency-sponsored TikTok account,” Nailor wrote. “A person or entity contracted with an agency shall not download or use the TikTok application or visit any TikTok website on any State-owned electronic device.”

In his email, Nailor also announced Vermont is also banning the Chinese social media app WeChat on state staff and contractors’ devices.

The two Chinese companies are the latest to be banned from Vermont state government devices. The regulations cite a 2019 worldwide threat assessment of the U.S. intelligence community, expressing concern “about the potential for Chinese intelligence and security services to use Chinese information technology firms as routine and systemic espionage platforms against the United States and allies.”

State to increase monitoring of Springfield School District following special education violations

 Ethan Weinstein reporting for VT Digger

recent history of violations by the Springfield School District has prompted the Vermont Agency of Education to establish a plan for “targeted monitoring” that will include on-site visits to all of Springfield’s schools, beginning in May.

The violations were outlined in a recent 11-page letter from Chris Case, the agency’s director of student support services.

Springfield is also being investigated by the U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights, school board member Mary Krueger told VTDigger Monday. It marks at least the second time in three years that Springfield’s school district has been the subject of a federal inquiry.

Targeted monitoring is the “highest degree of escalated monitoring,” according to the state agency’s protocols. The status is triggered when a district is found to be noncompliant during regular, periodical monitoring of all school districts, and during follow-up “selective” monitoring.

Case wrote that the agency hopes the site visits provide “an opportunity to identify the root-causes behind the ongoing non-compliance and related concerns.” Those visits may include interviews, surveys and other forms of data collection.

According to Case’s letter, which was written in December and revised in January, the decision to begin targeted monitoring was triggered because the district’s students “are not receiving post-secondary transition plans that meet the required criteria.”

“Initial Evaluations to determine special education eligibility have not been performed within the timelines specified in the State of Vermont’s Special Education Rules,” Case wrote. “Documentation provided by the Springfield SD and other information received by the (state) raises concern that students with disabilities may not be receiving a Free Appropriate Public Education (FAPE) through universal instruction with appropriate services and support.”
