  • Ski Industry Leases Of
    Vermont State Auditor Douglas R. Hoffer Report to the Vermont Legislature and the Agency of Natural Resources State Land Leases Boost Ski Industry, but Are Dated and Inconsistent 1/20/2015 • Office of the Vermont State Auditor • Non-Audit Report 15-01 Mission Statement The mission of the Vermont State Auditor’s Office is to hold government accountable. This means ensuring taxpayer funds are used effectively and efficiently, and that we foster the prevention of waste, fraud, and abuse. Principal Investigator Andrew C. Stein Non-Audit Inquiry This is a non-audit report. A non-audit report is a tool used to inform citizens and management of issues that may need attention. It is not an audit and is not conducted under generally accepted government auditing standards. A non-audit report has a substantially smaller scope of work than an audit. Therefore, its conclusions are more limited, and it does not contain recommendations. Instead, the report includes information and possible risk-mitigation strategies relevant to the entity that is the object of the inquiry. DOUGLAS R. HOFFER STATE AUDITOR STATE OF VERMONT OFFICE OF THE STATE AUDITOR January 20, 2015 The Honorable Shap Smith Speaker of the House of Representatives The Honorable John Campbell President Pro Tempore of the Senate The Honorable Peter Shumlin Governor Deb Markowitz Secretary of Natural Resources Dear Colleagues, More than 70 years ago, the State decided to catalyze a new industry by leasing public land to companies willing to invest in the infrastructure necessary for downhill skiing. By most measures, this partnership has been successful, and our iconic mountains are now home to world- famous ski areas.

While it may appear more exciting to tackle "new" sites, we have a strong ethical obligation to make sure that older excavations are published, even when the original research was directed by others. I also wish to thank Mike Palumbo, Curator at Fort William Henry, for many stimulating conversations and for giving me access to photographs and artifacts from the 1950s excavation; and thanks go to the Fort William Henry Corporation for allowing me to reproduce archival photographs.

  • How Safe Is Our Food?
    VOLUME TWELVE NUMBER 2 Lobbying Reform — Keeping it Legal by Cheryl Baisden When you want something really special for your birthday, it may take more than just a simple request to convince your parents to buy it. You probably start out dropping hints about how great it is, and then casually mention how your friends have it, and how good you’ll be if you get it. If that doesn’t work, maybe you become a little more helpful around the house, or try winning your mom over by complimenting her new haircut. You probably never realized it, but there’s a word for all of the effort you’re putting in — it’s called lobbying. And while you may be lobbying to get that special gift, the practice is most often used in government as a way to influence lawmakers. WINTER2008 “In government, a lobbyist is someone who tries to influence the decisions of elected officials,” explained Todd Sidor, an attorney From ‘Farm to Fork’: and lobbyist for the New Jersey State Bar Association. “Usually they are experts in certain fields, or former government officials with connections HowHow SafeSafe isis OurOur Food?Food? in certain fields, and their job is to by Barbara Sheenhan account for about 20 percent of our (CSREES); and the Department of educate legislators about why a food supply.

  • Elmwood Cemetery: a Walking Tour of Burlington's History
    Elmwood Cemetery: A Walking Tour of Burlington's History A Historic Guidebook by University of Vermont Students 2008 i INTRODUCTION Scott A. McLaughlin The Elmwood Cemetery is one of the oldest community cemeteries in Burlington, Vermont. In its landscape and monuments, the cemetery captures the community's earliest history. Few, however, visit the cemetery and little is known about most of those buried in the cemetery. Some prominent and recognizable names appear on some of the headstones and monuments but most have never ventured into the cemetery because of its locked gates. One of the functions of this booklet is to expose people to what lies on the other side of the cemetery's iron fence. These locked gates are a result of vandalism and misuse of the cemetery by some members of the public. The authors encourage visitors to take the time, request the gates be open for them, and walk through Burlington’s history as they tour Elmwood Cemetery. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This booklet was completed as a semester long project by sixteen University of Vermont students, including Daniel Basta, Heather Bell, Mark Bowman, Samuel Cummings, Nina Gross, Justin Guerra, Caitlin Kirchman- Galligan, Tanner Lake, and Nathan Loschiavo. Heather Bell and the course instructor Scott A. McLaughlin edited the booklet. Completion of the project was made possible with the assistance of Jim Meunier of the Elmwood Meunier Funeral Home and the staff at Burlington's Cemetery Division, UVM Bailey/Howe Library Special Collections, UVM Archives, Burlington's Fletcher Free Library, and the Burlington City Clerk's Office. The project also greatly benefited by the extraordinary volunteers who created an illustrated database of many of those buried in Elmwood Cemetery (see www.findagrave.com).

    H-War Turner on Zarzynski, 'Ghost Fleet Awakened: Lake George's Sunken Bateaux of 1758' Review published on Thursday, April 22, 2021 Joseph W. Zarzynski. Ghost Fleet Awakened: Lake George's Sunken Bateaux of 1758. Albany: Excelsior Editions, 2019. Illustrations. 284 pp. $24.95 (paper),ISBN 978-1-4384-7672-8. Reviewed by Jobie Turner (Air University) Published on H-War (April, 2021) Commissioned by Margaret Sankey (Air University) Printable Version: https://www.h-net.org/reviews/showpdf.php?id=55121 On July 5, 1758, Major General Abercrombie’s army of sixteen thousand British and colonial soldiers and Native American allies alighted in nine hundred craft (boats, bateaux, and canoes) at the south end of Lake George, New York.[1] The vast armada was the largest military force assembled on the continent by any European power to that date. Their destination was Fort Carillon, twenty-six miles north and a few miles over land. Fort Carillon had been held by the French since the start of the Seven Years’ War and had vexed the British for three years. Most famously, French general Louis- Joseph de Montcalm had sailed south in 1757 and besieged Fort William Henry. It was on the ruins of Fort William Henry that the British built their camp to prepare for their row up Lake George in 1758. After one overnight camp, Abercrombie’s troops disembarked and began their movement to Fort Carillon. By July 8, 1755, the British were in full rout, the French and their native allies killing and wounding more than 1,500 of the British force.
