Select Board to hear more about the Old Bow Road at their September 23 meeting
At the Select Board meeting on August 26, a Public Hearing was held on the possible reclassification of the Old Bow Road.
A petition to reclassify Old Bow Road from a Class IV to a Class III Town Road was submitted and received by the Select Board initiating this public hearing. Testimonies were taken and the Town Manager quoted the Vermont State statute stating "that the lack of a certificate of completion for a highway does not automatically indicate that the highway is not public. Even if it is not listed on the state highway mileage map, it can still be recognized as a town road".

Even if it is not listed on the state highway mileage map, it can still be recognized as a town road".
Some residents want a turn-around or circle for public safety and for the town to maintain the road. Other residents argue that they have been improving and maintaining the "private" road for decades at considerable cost to themselves and that the road was never "laid out" as a town road.
This issue seems to be one of who "owns" the road and who will pay for the circle construction and will the town maintain the road into the future. This discussion will continue at the September 23rd meeting beginning at 6;30 p.m.

The length of the Public Hearing caused the Select Board to postpone discussion of the 1879 Schoolhouse Rules & Regulations and the ARPA Discussion to the September 23rd meeting also.

A new Vermont law prevents hunters from selling bear paws and organs
Advocates and officials worried that the lack of regulation in Vermont could attract people interested in selling bear parts on the black market.by Emma Cotton
Bear hunting season begins on Sept. 1, and the Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department is reminding hunters that a new law prohibits the sale of bear paws and organs, such as the animal’s gallbladder.
In passing the law, Act 141, Vermont joined the vast majority of U.S. states that ban hunters from selling such bear parts, which are purchased at a premium, then sold on the black market and transported to Asia.
Bear bile from the animal’s gallbladder is often used in Traditional Chinese Medicine, and paws are used to make soup that’s considered a delicacy, according to Lt. Robert Currier, district chief warden with the Fish & Wildlife Department.
“We’re worried about individuals that understand how much money they can make from obtaining these animal parts and selling them, and then coming to our state because of the lack of regulations related to the sale of bear galls and bear paws in the past,” he said.
Currier said the activity “does occur” in Vermont.

New Vermont food labeling rule raises concern among some purveyors of homemade food
by Shaun Robinson
A new Vermont Department of Health rule requires food producers who work out of a home kitchen to put a safety disclaimer onto their products — raising concerns among some purveyors that the state is taking too firm a hand in regulating such small businesses.
The rule applies, in part, to certain small food manufacturers — also known as “cottage” food producers — who bring in less than $10,000 in annual gross sales, or, if they’re a baker, less than $6,500 in annual gross sales. Under existing policies, these producers are generally exempt from licensing and inspection by the state’s health department.
Starting this month, though, the department will require these producers to add new text to their product labels that reads: “Made in a home kitchen not inspected by the Vermont Department of Health.” It must be printed in at least 10-point type and a color that contrasts with the background of the product’s label, the new state rule reads.
The “Manufactured Food Rule” also includes other measures aimed at standardizing what information home kitchen producers put on their labels. That includes the name of the product, who made it, its ingredients and any major allergens it contains. Other states have also made recent changes to how they regulate “cottage” kitchens.
Many Vermont home producers already include most, if not all, of those details, said Elisabeth Wirsing, manager of the health department’s food and lodging program.

Hartland planners appeal farm store decision
The Hartland Planning Commission has argued that the store’s size, proximity to the village and competition with local retailers violated the town plan.by Valley News
This story by Christina Dolan was first published in the Valley News on August 26.
HARTLAND — In a last-minute change of course, the Hartland Planning Commission is continuing to press its appeal of an Act 250 permit for a farm store on Route 5, just outside the village center.
In September 2023, Sunnymede Farms, a 600-acre cattle and maple sugaring operation near Hartland Four Corners, received a state Act 250 permit to build a two-story barn-style farm store on a property just north of Exit 9 on Interstate-91. The store would include a deli, bakery, eating area and 45 parking spaces, including electric vehicle charging stations.
Both the Hartland Planning Commission and the Two Rivers Ottauquechee Regional Commission appealed to the Environmental Division of Vermont Superior Court on the grounds that the farm store’s size, proximity to the village and competition with local retailers violated the regional and town plans.
On July 8, Superior Court Judge Thomas G. Walsh denied both appeals.

For a new film on Vermont’s 1960s counterculture, it’s been a long strange trip to the screen
A half-century after its source material was optioned by Robert Redford, the documentary “Far Out: Life On & After the Commune” revisits how the back-to-the-land movement changed the state then and now.by Kevin O'Connor
Ray Mungo’s origin story reads like the stuff of a movie script: Born in 1946, the Roman Catholic schoolboy morphed into a Marxist Boston University student turned New York underground press founder turned, in 1968, back-to-the-land pioneer at Vermont’s Packer Corners commune in Guilford.
Mungo wrote about his journey in the 1970 book “Famous Long Ago: My Life and Hard Times with Liberation News Service,” which the New York Times deemed an “honest, literate and loving memoir” and actor Robert Redford — fresh off his star turn in 1969’s “Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid” — optioned for a film.
Redford asked Mungo to write the screenplay, the press went on to report.
“Big mistake,” Charles Light, a fellow back-to-the-lander and 75-year-old Vermont filmmaker, recently recalled. “Ray’s script had nothing to do with the original story.”
And so Redford’s option lapsed, as did subsequent interest from a succession of prominent producers including, as one newspaper reported, Stephen Schwartz, composer of the musicals “Godspell” and “Wicked.”
Mungo would move to California, where he’s now 78, retired and, according to friends, living quietly out of the public spotlight. Light, for his part, has spent decades making indie documentaries about everything from the plight of Vietnam veterans to the fight against nuclear power to, premiering Sept. 7, what he calls “this long-delayed opus.”
“Far Out: Life On & After the Commune” tells the true story of a group of hippies who bought properties in Guilford and nearby Montague, Massachusetts, only to face challenges while sowing the seeds of surprisingly lasting change.

Windham County Sheriff's Office vehicle damaged during crash on Interstate 91
Michael CusanelliA Windham County Sheriff's Deputy was uninjured after his cruiser hydroplaned off the roadway during a prisoner transport on Tuesday, according to officials.
First Sgt. Robert Lakin was driving on Interstate 91 in Weathersfield on Tuesday morning while transporting a prisoner between the Southern State Correctional Facility and the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility when the prisoner began complaining of an apparent neck injury. Lakin attempted to stop his cruiser in a U-turn area on the interstate so he could render first aid, but as he did so, the vehicle hydroplaned and entered the median, where it bottomed out on an object and damaged the vehicle, according to officials.
Lakin rendered first aid to the prisoner, but there was no apparent injury. He was also unhurt in the crash.
The prisoner was transferred to a nearby hospital before being cleared and returned to Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility. The damaged cruiser was towed for repairs.
Hartford tech center relocates some programs to allow for PCB remediation
The highest levels of contamination in the Hartford school buildings were found in and around the Getaway restaurant, which is operated by the culinary arts program. Those spaces require immediate action, including air filtration systems.by Valley News
This story by Christina Dolan was first published in the Valley News on August 20.
HARTFORD — Some student programs at the Hartford Area Career and Technical Center will have new locations this fall as efforts to remediate contamination of so-called forever chemicals are expected to continue throughout the school year.
Testing in April found elevated levels of polychlorinated biphenyls, commonly known as PCBs, in some areas of the high school and career and technical center buildings.
PCBs are man-made chemicals found in older building materials such as caulk, paint and lighting fixtures. Their use was banned by the Environmental Protection Agency in 1980. As materials containing PCBs break down, the chemicals are released and can be breathed in as vapor or dust. That exposure can cause cancer and other serious health issues, according to the Vermont Department of Health.
The highest levels of contamination in the Hartford school buildings were found in and around the Getaway restaurant, which is operated by the culinary arts program. Those spaces require immediate action, including air filtration systems. Four learning spaces have been made off-limits entirely and their programs have been relocated.

Suspect arrested in 2022 Springfield murder that police link to drug dispute
Vermont State Police said Wednesday that Paul Lachapelle Jr. had been arrested in New Hampshire and is charged with the murder of Justin Gilliam.by Ethan Weinstein
Vermont State Police said Wednesday that Paul Lachapelle Jr., of Littleton, New Hampshire, was arrested in that state, and charged with the 2022 murder of Justin Gilliam in Springfield, Vermont.
“VSP’s investigation determined the homicide was related to a dispute among several individuals involved in illegal drug trafficking,” police wrote in a press release, noting that Lachapelle lived in Springfield at the time of the murder. State police obtained an arrest warrant related to the murder last week, they said.
Gilliam’s murder came amid a spate of gun-related crime in Springfield centered around Valley Street. In the months that followed, federal, state and local law enforcement descended on the town, leading to charges for at least eight people.
State police said Lachapelle, 28, was arrested Wednesday by New Hampshire State Police. He’s expected to be extradited to Vermont, where he would face charges of first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit first-degree murder, police said.
Gilliam was found dead on June 6, 2022, along Greeley Road in Springfield. An autopsy determined he’d died from a gunshot wound to the head, according to police.
