Auditor: Vt. school embezzling‘alarming’From Staff & News [email protected]

MONTPELIER – VermontState Auditor Thomas M.Salmon released a situation re-port Feb. 21 indicating thatsince the year 2000, approxi-mately $415,000 has been re-ported missing from 16 super-visory unions or school dis-tricts.

The report is the result of aninvestigation triggered by anincident of wire transfer fraudat the Washington South Super-visory Union last fall.

The event prompted the audi-tor to question the fraud report-ing requirements and the finan-cial controls in the state’s edu-cation system. In December,Salmon sent each superintend-ent and business manager a let-ter requesting information onany and all thefts, embezzle-ments and/or fraud that hadtaken place in the past 11 years.

LINCOLN - The Lincoln Communi-ty Elementary School will have to finda new way to fund upgrades to theircomputer lab after thieves made offwith over $1,400 worth of copper scrapthat was slated for sale to fund the im-provements.

The school’s Facilities Manager,Alden Harwood, said that a pile of thecopper scrap was brought outside forcleaning and placement into securestorage during the evening of Feb. 17and left covered with a tarp. However,when he arrived to complete the jobthe following morning, the copper wasgone.

The state police were notified, but todate there are no leads.

The copper was part of the school’sold heating and plumbing system thatwas replaced during a recent renova-

tion project. Since the price of copperhas skyrocketed in recent years, theyhad planned to sell it and use the pro-ceeds to purchase new chairs for thecomputer lab and possibly to other fi-nance improvements.

Alden estimated the stolen copper ’sworth after he brought some of the re-maining copper, totally approximately1/3 of what was stolen, to the salvageyard, and was able to sell it for $3.10per pound, netting $700.

Trooper Andrew Leise from the NewHaven Barracks of the Vermont StatePolice was the responding officer.Leise said this type of crime is becom-ing increasingly common, and is oftenthe result of the escalating problem ofprescription pill and opiate abuse thathas beset the area lately. He said thatrecovery of this type of stolen materialis difficult if not impossible because itis so hard to identify.

BRISTOL - If you want tofocus the attention of agroup of teenage boys, noth-ing works quite as well as anattractive, accomplishedyoung woman who’s imme-diate purpose is to focus onthem and answer questionsand offer suggestions.

Katie Lavasseur, Miss Ver-mont 2011, paid a visit to theHub Teen Center in Bristollast week, and spoke to asmall but interested groupof boys about communityservice and fundraising.Lavasseur is no stranger to avariety of teen topics and

was eager to offer adviceand lend an ear to the variedideas put forth by her audi-ence.

One of the main topicswas how to raises funds fora new sprinkler system forthe Hub.

The building has been un-der ongoing renovation forseveral years, and now theyhope to raise $15,000 to in-stall a sprinkler system. Theteens said they are planninga series of concerts andevents, but feel that theyneed some older people onthe board to help with fundraising.

Together, Lavasseur andthe teens brainstormedideas, including holding aspaghetti dinner in a nearbycommunity hall, a chowdermaking competition (wingsand chili were also men-tioned with a bit more en-thusiasm from some of theboys), and asking local busi-nesses to dedicate a time pe-riod when they will share apercentage of the proceedswith the Hub, or possibly a5K race.

Lavasseur is a patient, ar-ticulate and engagingwoman.

Previous to beingcrowned Miss Vermont, shewas a senior at the Universi-

ty of Vermont, majoring inpolitical science with minorsin economics and businessadministration. She grew upin Lyndonville and Water-ford, and graduated from St.Johnsbury Academy.

Throughout her academiccareer, Miss Vermont hasparticipated in several lead-ership roles. She was a mem-ber of the National HonorSociety, and a delegate forthe Girl Scouts of America tothe 52nd United NationsCommission on the Status ofWomen. Also during highschool she was Director-at-large of the Saint Andrew’sHighland Dancers of Ver-mont.

In 2010, Miss Vermont wasawarded the EnduringDemocracy Award by Secre-tary of State Deb Markowitzfor work on the propositionand enactment of a VermontConstitutional Amendmentpermitting anyone who willattain the full age of 18 bythe time of the general elec-tions to vote in primary elec-tions.

SOUTH BURLINGTON –A native plant, by definition,has existed for thousands ofyears in a particular region.Without the help of garden-ers with watering cans, bagsof fertilizer, and bales ofstraw mulch, these plantsnaturally adapted to theconditions around them.

A plant that is native to aparticular region is natural-ly more tolerant of the localclimate, rainfall trends,soils, insects, and diseases.These attributes can con-tribute to a lower-mainte-nance, longer-lasting, andenvironmentally friendlygarden. Here are five rea-sons why native plants willlike your garden as much asyou like them.

Native plants like yourcold winter.

One of the cardinal rulesof gardening is to selectplants that are tolerant ofyour local climate.

For a perennial plant toreemerge every year, it mustbe tolerant of the date atwhich frost arrives in thefall, the cold winter temper-atures, and when frosts endin the spring. The USDA’shardiness zone map (plan-thardiness.ars.usda.gov)helps gardeners selectplants suited to their cli-mate, but there’s still a lot oftrial-and-error when select-ing non-native and hybridplants. A safer investment isto choose native plants,which have already enduredthousands of winters in yourregion. Native plants con-

tribute to a beautiful andlong-lasting landscape.

Native plants like yourrainfall.

Rainfall is another impor-tant consideration when se-lecting plants for a garden.Selecting plants that areadapted to the amount ofrainfall, and to the seasonaltiming of rainfall, will bemore successful and requireless maintenance.

A native plant naturally isadapted to your rainfall con-ditions and, once estab-lished, generally doesn’t re-quire additional watering.This will decrease the main-tenance needs of the gardenand also help to conservewater. Just remember that anative plant still needs to beplanted in an appropriate lo-cation, which is similar towhere it grows naturally.For example, a native wet-land shrub, such as Button-bush (Cephalanthus occiden-talis) won’t be happy on adry knoll in your landscape;it must be planted in a con-sistently wet location, suchas a rain garden, swale orpond edge.

Native plants like yoursoil.

Soil characteristics are of-

ten overlooked by garden-ers, but are very importantto plants. Some plants strug-gle in clay soils, which tendto hold water, while othersstruggle in sandy soils,which dry out quickly. Aplant that is native to yourregion and soil type will betolerant of your soil condi-tions. Many native plantshave strategies for copingwith the soil conditions. Forexample, native PurpleConeflowers (Echinacea pur-purpea) have long tap rootsthat break up the texture ofclay soil and are longenough to avoid rottingfrom the clay’s moisture.

Native plants like yoursoil fertility.

For thousands of years be-fore humans began garden-ing, native plants grew,flowered, and fruited with-out the help of fertilizers.It’s no different today. Infact, the outcome of fertiliz-ing native plants is often un-desirable.It can result in tallplants with many leaves, butfew flowers. The fertilizedplants sometimes can’t sup-port their own weight andwill topple easily in a windor rain storm.By plantingnative plants you can avoid

fertilizers, save your timeand money, and avoid po-tential water pollution fromrunoff.

Native plants like your in-sects.

Native plants have sharedthe landscape with insectsfor centuries. They are oftenan important food for bene-ficial insects, while they areless desirable to some of ourexotic insect pests. For ex-ample, Woodland Phlox(Phlox divaricata) is a nectarsource for native bees andbutterflies, but are left aloneby the pesky Japanese bee-tle. Save your time, moneyand the environment byplanting native plants andavoiding the use of insecti-cides.

All of these attributesmake native plants valuableto the sustainability of yourgarden. A landscape full ofplants that are adapted tothe local temperatures, rain-fall, soils, fertility, and in-sects will be long-lastingand require fewer resources,and less of your time tomaintain. You can sit backand enjoy your beautifullandscape and all the birdsand butterflies it attracts.

Newt Gingrich is 24 years older than his wife,Callista. He must be a real charmer, or greatin the rack, or both, or, she just likes accom-

plished smart guys. He was cheating on a previouswife with Callista while simultaneously trashing BillClinton for getting after Monica Lewinski. Mr. Gin-grich walks on to the stage for Republican debates sideto the audience, presenting his prolific girth to sup-porters and critics alike. He’s not great at walking.Callista’s hair would pass rigorous tests for safety. I’drather wear her hair then a helmet while bobsledding. Wonder how much time a dayshe spends on her hair? I’d pay $5.00 to touch it, $15.00 to muss it, and $275.00 to pullit a little. I believe Mr. and Mrs. Gingrich would be delightful, and interesting com-pany as hosts or guests at a party.

Been saying all along this weak-winter, that snow will arrive just when folks arefeeling like spring is about to spring. It’s started and looks like I could be right. 14inches Saturday, 5 last night, calling for 10 more inches tomorrow night. My money’son the recent late February snow-falls as being the tip of the iceberg. Heed. Do notlet down your guard. There is a large mass of wintrier weather ahead than what’s be-hind.

Booze, cigs, crack, fat, prescription drugs, lethargy, anger, all pull negativelyagainst our physical and spiritual soul. But, tell you what’s really bad. Sugar. Rea-son is, it’s commonplace, and humble. Crack, hell, you know if you’re smoking crack.Same with booze, and cigs, and fat mostly, you know what foods contain fat. Youknow when you’re lethargic because lethargy is kin to laziness. You know it’s notgood to be angry, and because a drug has been prescribed to you, doesn’t mean it’sfor the greater good. But sugar, it’s everywhere, and does not announce itself. Ba-nanas, oranges, juice, tomato sauce, beets, asparagus, all contain large amounts ofsugar. Did you know that? Oh, you did, but, since all the noted are so-called “healthyfood” their sugar is “good sugar” and not a problem for us. Wrong. If you have aproblem with sugar, and we mostly all do, too much of even the “good sugar” is bad.That sucks.

Brussels Sprouts are fantastic for you. At around 37 calories per serving, they con-tain zero fat (doesn’t mean you won’t get fat eating 100 servings a day - cause thecalories, the calories my friend) and cholesterol, they’re low in sodium and sugar ( 2grams sugar per serving ), while showing 3 grams of protein a serving, which ain’tbad for a vegetable. Lots of vitamins, loaded with C and K. K is found in your heartyvegetables, kale, spinach, and broccoli to name a few. Vitamin K protects bone fromfracture, and can offer a great protection against liver and prostate cancer. But K’sclaim to fame is it’s central role in the clotting of blood. Do not take your blood’s clot-ting ability for granted. Eat Brussels sprouts for cripes sake.

Rick Santorum. Love to hang with him. Can you imagine what a polite guest he’dbe to your home? Very polite, and literate, engaging. I’m serious. He’s an old fash-ioned morals guy. What, 8 kids? (one deceased) Church going. 90 push-ups a day.Former Senator. Married. Masters in business, and a lawyer. Pro-Life. Pro-Family.Probably hasn’t had sex since he and his wife conceived their last child. So yeah, youget the guy, right? Maybe not. At the time Mr. Santorum started to run his wife shewas at the end of a 6-year relationship with a man 40 years her senior. Well, hey, I saygo for it. Way-to-go, and hip-hip-hooray and all of that. But … here’s the thing. Thedude Karen Santorum was with, was a leader in the abortion movement. He was anabortion doctor. A footnote is that he delivered his x lover, Mrs. Santorum as a baby.How does that fit in with the Santorum profile?

ThingsFrom the Editor

Vermont is a place where you hear a lot oftalk about “peak oil”. The term is de-fined as the point of maximum oil pro-

duction from proven reserves. Talking about the end of oil is an apocalyptic

sounding topic that seems to have its appeal atTown Meeting Day gatherings, as well as with en-vironmentalists and even a few religious sects.

When I hear predictions of the end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it or the imminent demise ofEarth’s vast, primordial petroleum reserves, I lis-ten politely and then go off and do some basic re-search to satisfy my natural skepticism. (Yes, I amas suspicious of scientific sources as the otherguys. I never buy into the many of “either-or” sce-narios we hear these days.)

Ok, so how long will Earth’s oil reserves last?Certainly not forever, but the wells don’t appear tobe going dry in this century. Of course, I knowthere are many who disagree with me. So be it.

Recent exploration in North Dakota’s and Mon-tana’s Williston Basin–perhaps an ancient impactcrater–reveals that the Bakken Formation could be-come the world’s largest discovery at 18-24 billionbarrels plus. If that’s true, it makes it the biggestU.S. oil harvest since Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, in 1968.

Then there’s the Jack Field located off Louisianain the the Gulf of Mexico; it may hold 15 billionbarrels.

How about Colorado’s Green River Formation,world famous for its fossil fish remains, which ex-tends into Wyoming? It could yield 4 million bar-rels–not as spectacular as the Bakken, but theGreen River by itself could easily satisfy 20 percentof current U.S. consumption well into the mid- tolate- 21st century.

How about Canada’s tar sands? Experts are talking 1.7 trillion barrels or more.

Because of the Keystone Pipeline controversy, a lotof the oil looks like it’s heading to China.

Elsewhere in our hemisphere, a new discoveryoff the coast of Brazil is likely to produce 50 to 80billion barrels per day.

I could go on with more western hemisphere oilstrikes, but the aforementioned five examplesmake my point.

Even with Earth’s vast yet finite oil supplies,better vehicle mileage, improved public trans-portation, energy-efficient homes, even stream-lined commercial and private aircraft are stretchingsupplies to the distant horizon and possibly be-yond.

According to energy writer Brad Reagan, “Peakoil theorists argue that production is already

maxed out, meaning imminent shortages andsharper price spikes; more optimistic experts be-lieve that day is 20 to 30 years away.” Perhaps, but“peak oil” has always been a moving target; asmore new oil is located and extracted, the “peakoil” moment of maximum production seems to slipaway. Thus, I am hard pressed to find the one, true“peak oil” prophet among the many false.

On the gloomy side: Oil prophet Kenneth Def-freyes says we’ll hit peak oil in 2025. “We’re goingback to the Stone Age,” he predicts.

On the bright side: Oil prophet Micheal Lynchsays market forces, conservation, and new findsare moving the day of “peak oil” reckoning fartherinto the future.

So when it comes to predicting the end of oil, it’smuch like the old television game show question:“Who do you trust?”

Energy writer, Robert Bryce, wrote a controver-sial bestselling book, titled “Gusher of Lies”, whichdeflates America’s quest for energy independence.

Bryce said imported oil, along with nuclear, so-lar and other alternatives, must be part of the na-tion’s energy mix; he doesn’t think America can goit alone by drilling and solar panels alone. Andwhen President Bush commented that “America isaddicted to oil” in 2006, Bryce’s response was “sowhat?”

It may not be true at the moment with gasolineprices approaching $5 per gallon, but in the verylong run, oil prices will probably plummet thanksto conservation, market forces, and as new re-serves come on line just mentioned.

And if we absolutely must have organic hydro-carbons to fuel civilization, why, there’s always Ti-tan.

Titan is the largest moon of the planet Saturn. Ithas vast surface lakes of the stuff in the form of liq-uid ethane and methane.

NASA estimates that, with only 20 percent of themoon mapped, Titan’s liquid fuel reserves isaround 130 billion tons, that’s several hundredtimes more hydrocarbon material than containedin all Earth’s oil and natural gas reserves, past andpresent. Amazing, eh?

Sure the big, frigid moon is 750 million milesaway from terra firma, but humans seem to have ahankering for fuel and accomplish anything to getat the stuff.

Seriously, I wonder what the per-barrel price ofimported interplantary goo would look like in theyear 2525? That is, if the combustion engine cansurvive.

MIDDLEBURY —The Board of Trustees of the RowlandFoundation, a Vermont-based foundation focused on highschool transformation in the state, has announced its 2012fellowships.

To date the foundation has awarded $2 million in grantsto Vermont high schools.

The foundation accepts proposals from visionary educa-tors who, in partnership with their organization’s leader-ship, wish to improve the culture and climate of the learn-ing environment.

Rowland Fellows receive $100,000 to cover the cost of asabbatical for the teacher and to provide funding to imple-ment their vision when they return to their organizations.

Alison Moncrief Bromage, a 2012 recipient, is the highschool completion plan manager from Vermont Adult Learn-ing in Addison County. She is the first recipient from an adulteducation program and the first recipient from a not-for-profit organization. Bromage’s proposal is to “establish au-thentic cooperative community-based learning opportuni-ties for students challenged by the traditional high schoolmodel.”

She will use her sabbatical time to build community con-nections and design internship and apprenticeship educa-tional opportunities for high school students in AddisonCounty. Her hope is that providing these hands-on learningopportunities will enrich students’ educational and local ex-periences.

Joe La Rosa, regional manager at Vermont Adult Learningin Addison County Said, “We hope this (award) will shinea spotlight on the challenges people face when they are notengaged in traditional educational programs. We are alsopleased to be one of two fellows in Addison County to benamed.”

Laura Miner and Lauren Parren from Mount AbrahamUnion High School were also awarded a fellowship “to de-velop a new system of professional development to supportschool-wide transformation.”

Schools which have received grants from the RowlandFoundation include Fair Haven Union High School, Mt.Abraham Union High School, Otter Valley Union HighSchool, Rutland High School, Vergennes Union High School,and Vermont Adult Learning.

Residents, schools receive Rowland fellowships

Bast and Rood will gather the ideasthat come from the charette and workwith Hannaford to develop a revisedbuilding design to present to the Hines-burg Development Review Board.

The Development Review Board isconsidering other issues beyond thosethat will be addressed at the charette,

such as the building’s size, shape andoverall site plan. The meeting will fo-cus entirely on the architectural designof the proposed building itself.

Bast and Rood will stimulate discus-sion by presenting some concepts ofhow the design might vary.

Participants will be free to build fromthose ideas or suggest new ones.

Salvage yards are supposed to ask for identification and documentation, butLeise said that the thieves can be very clever and deceptive. They may also cutthe copper up into small pieces, making identification impossible.

Leise said that the best way to avoid property crimes is for neighbors to bevigilant, and to make note of strange people or cars appearing where theydon’t belong. He also pointed out that the Vermont State Police is not a 24-hour operation.

Although there are troopers on call, there are no patrols on the roadsbetween the hours of 2 a.m. and 7 a.m., and that thieves are abundantly awareof this fact, making citizen awareness critical to solving crime.

Leise requested that anyone with information about the theft in Lincolnshould call the Vermont State Police at 388-4919.

Embezzlingfrom page 1

The results were as follows: • 16 entities had experienced an incident of

theft, embezzlement, or wire fraud.• 25 total incidents were reported.• 4 entities had more than one such inci-

dent.• 8 entities had incidents involving more

than $10,000, of these:4 entities had incidents exceeding $40,000.2 entities had events exceeding $100,000.• 4 entities had incidents involving food

service or student activity accounts.• 16 events were reported to law enforce-

ment.• 7 events resulted in criminal cases.

Salmon said Vermonters’ tax dollars are atunnecessary risk in many places.

“For a small state, the frequency of inci-dents involving fraud, embezzlement or theftin our schools is alarming. While it is a cred-it to many of our school systems that theyhave reported no known instances of theft, itis clear that glaring weaknesses in controlsover cash, accountability and security contin-ue in many others,” he said.

While the above incidents are regrettable,to say the least, there is equal concern thatthe Vermont Department of Education has nopolicy for schools to report such incidents.

The State Auditor ’s Office has encouragedthe Legislature to require reporting of con-firmed cases of theft from any entity receiv-ing state funds on a one-page Form E thatSalmon has created.

School strugglesfrom page 1

Salvage yards are supposed to ask for identification and documentation, butLeise said that the thieves can be very clever and deceptive. They may also cutthe copper up into small pieces, making identification impossible.

Leise said that the best way to avoid property crimes is for neighbors to bevigilant, and to make note of strange people or cars appearing where theydon’t belong. He also pointed out that the Vermont State Police is not a 24-hour operation.

Although there are troopers on call, there are no patrols on the roadsbetween the hours of 2 a.m. and 7 a.m., and that thieves are abundantly awareof this fact, making citizen awareness critical to solving crime.

Leise requested that anyone with information about the theft in Lincolnshould call the Vermont State Police at 388-4919.

Embezzlingfrom page 1

The results were as follows: • 16 entities had experienced an incident of

theft, embezzlement, or wire fraud.• 25 total incidents were reported.• 4 entities had more than one such inci-

dent.• 8 entities had incidents involving more

than $10,000, of these:4 entities had incidents exceeding $40,000.2 entities had events exceeding $100,000.• 4 entities had incidents involving food

service or student activity accounts.• 16 events were reported to law enforce-

ment.• 7 events resulted in criminal cases.

Salmon said Vermonters’ tax dollars are atunnecessary risk in many places.

“For a small state, the frequency of inci-dents involving fraud, embezzlement or theftin our schools is alarming. While it is a cred-it to many of our school systems that theyhave reported no known instances of theft, itis clear that glaring weaknesses in controlsover cash, accountability and security contin-ue in many others,” he said.

While the above incidents are regrettable,to say the least, there is equal concern thatthe Vermont Department of Education has nopolicy for schools to report such incidents.

The State Auditor ’s Office has encouragedthe Legislature to require reporting of con-firmed cases of theft from any entity receiv-ing state funds on a one-page Form E thatSalmon has created.

Guest ViewpointRatepayers shut out ofGMP-CVPS merger

As state regulators deliberate over theproposed merger of our state’s two largestelectric utilities, they hear from a host of ex-perts, consultants, lawyers and corpora-tions.

Unfortunately, the ratepayers are rarelythe loudest voice and don’t have a seat at thetable. That’s precisely why AARP Vermontlaunched an effort to help secure ratepayerrefunds owed to CVPS customers as trig-gered by the pending merger with GMP.

The Vermont Public Service Board madevery clear in 2001 that the ratepayers whobailed out CVPS with an emergency rate in-crease had to be repaid. This windfall pro-tection provision that AARP fought for 11years ago in front of the Public ServiceBoard, is clearly triggered by the merger.The regulators ordered that should the com-pany ever be sold or merged, it needed topay back ratepayers, before executives orshareholders profited from the sale. Thebailout actually amounted to $98 million,but the board capped it at $21 million.

Mergers and acquisitions can be complextransactions with lots of complicated ele-ments. This is not one of them however. Thisis a simple matter of making good on a debt.A matter of fairness.

Instead of refunding the money back tothe Vermonters who paid it, the utilitieshave now proposed creating an efficiencyand weatherization program, which satis-fies neither the debt, nor the regulator ’s rul-ing. GMP actually proposes to set up an ef-ficiency loan fund through a third party thatsome ratepayers could borrow from toweatherize or make efficiency improve-ments. Then they would pay the utility backthrough their bills. Where’s the refund inthat?

This idea doesn’t wash on so many levels. First, it relies on additional ratepayer

funds to establish the program and is not aninvestment of the funds owed.

Second, it’s a loan program, not a refund.As such it would only benefit those whowant to borrow the funds to do a project anddoes nothing for everyone else, CVPS has135,000 residential customers.

Third, efficiency is great and Vermont is anational leader in investing in a host of en-ergy efficiency programs already whichratepayers pay for each month. Do we real-ly need another at the expense of ratepay-ers?

Fourth, other states with utility mergers inthe works (Massachusetts and Maryland)have offered similar efficiency programs ontop of rebates and refunds to ratepayers.And those are states with no windfall pro-tection provision in place.

Finally, it’s not the state’s nor the utilities’money to invest, redirect, absorb or apply to“merger savings”.

The reasons go on, but suffice it to say thatthis idea is a non-starter from the perspec-tive of ratepayers who reached into theirpockets 11 years ago to bail out their electriccompany and could really use their moneyback. Should utilities, the state or anyoneelse be telling these customers how to spendtheir money? Is there a reason they won’tjust pay it back?

AARP does not oppose this merger, norare we against energy efficiency in any way.We are, however, in favor of protecting con-sumers and our members. Even our Gov.Shumlin agrees that these customers need tobe paid back. In speaking up for those withno voice, AARP hopes our message is a clearone. And we hope it reaches the VermontPublic Service Board as they move to enforcetheir order and do right by Vermonters.

MONTPELIER — In consultation with state legislatorsand fire officials, and as a result of a comparison to nation-al search and rescue protocols, the Vermont State Police isrevising its search and rescue policy.

VSP Col. Tom L’Esperance and Deputy CommissionerJohn Wood met with lawmakers last week to listen to rec-ommendations regarding the Vermont State Police policy.

In response to speaking with public safety officials, HouseReps. David Sharpe and Rep.Michael Fisher (D-Addison-4)said the Vermont State Police’s willingness to discuss, re-view, and modify the policy to include notification and in-volvement of trained local fire resources was appreciated.

At a Feb, 26 meeting with fire officials in Addison Coun-ty, L’Esperance and Deputy Commission Wood asked for in-put to the drafted policy changes.

After the discussion, Vice President Dave Shaw of the Ad-dison County Firefighters Association said, “The fire chiefs

on the association appreciate the opportunity to lend theirexpertise to the proposed policy changes; which will allowfor a coordinated and unified response to search and rescueoperations in Vermont. As such we support the VermontState Police continued administration of search and rescueoperations in Vermont.”

According to Matthew Vinci president of the ProfessionalFirefighters of Vermont said, “The public is best served whenlocal and state resources work together to respond to theneeds of our state. And I applaud the leadership at the De-partment of Public Safety for working to formulate a planthat is very responsive to the people who live, work, and vis-it Vermont.”

The revised policy, which will formalize customary andsuccessful search and rescue practices, includes languagethat addresses the official notification by the local stationcommanders or on-scene supervisors to the local fire chief

and the Vermont Fish and Wildlife district commander, aswell as the establishment of unified command for search andrescue incidents.

Hartford Fire Department Chief Steven Locke, a memberof the Technical Rescue Group and chairman of the VermontFire Rescue Services Coalition in Vermont, said, “I am con-fident that this revised policy will ensure a collaborative re-sponse to missing and lost persons by state and local respon-ders and thereby allowing the best chance of a successfuloutcome.”

Vermont State Police officials said the final policy will becompleted soon and disseminated to members.

“There is always room for improvement,” said L’Esper-ance. “Any agency, when faced with challenges, must bewilling to critically evaluate their process and incorporateever-evolving best practices. The end result is a safer Ver-mont.”

Addison County fire officials meet with VSP
