INSIDE THE KINGDOM

January 24, 2018 the Chronicle Section B – 16 Pages Condos, Zuckerman break for coffee in Coventry by Elizabeth Trail COVENTRY — If there’s one thing Coventry can do, it’s throw a party. On Saturday afternoon, most of the town’s officials, paid and elected, joined Secretary of State Jim Condos and Lieutenant Governor David Zuckerman in Coventry’s community center gym for a voter information shindig planned by the town’s recreation director Martha Sylvester. “I had a lot of help from Deb and Amanda,” Ms. Sylvester said, referring to Town Clerk Deb Tanguay and administrator Amanda Carlson. “It was a team effort.” Whoever planned each detail, the freshly renovated community center gleamed. There were coffee and tea and cocoa, huge trays of doughnuts, and plates of home-baked cookies. Guests who wanted a place to sit could pull up a chair at a table, but most grabbed refreshments and mingled with the state and local politicians who were there ready to talk. Besides Mr. Condos, Mr. Zuckerman, and town officials, Vermont Senator Bobby Starr and Representative Gary Viens turned out to shake Vermont Secretary of State Jim Condos (center) entertained Coventry residents and officials on Sunday hands and answer questions. And of course afternoon at a political information coffee planned by the town’s new recreation director Martha Sylvester.

When she finally turned over the key, late elected officials, or much about the issues they Add in the select board’s room on the ground last winter, the closet was nearly empty, save for some tattered decorations from Coventry Days past, and some old real estate records. Financial documents that auditor Jeff Graham believes were stored there at one time were nowhere to be found. Now the closet is full again, as town records found downstairs are sorted and labeled. “We’re looking into the laws on retention of records,” Mr. Morley said. “When we know what we need to keep and how long, we’re going to remodel the closet, put in modern shelving, and have everything organized so you can just walk to what you need and put your hands on it instantly.” The last items on the agenda are to turn the two small bathrooms into a single unisex room large enough to offer wheelchair access, and an elevator to make the upstairs accessible, Mr. Morley said. But beyond the physical transformation of the building, there’s a bigger change in the town offices. Town Clerk Deb Tanguay, Treasurer Adam Messier, Delinquent Tax Collector Kate Fletcher, and Town Administrator Amanda Carlson all exude energy and openness. They riff off each other’s references to old “Seinfeld” television episodes. “We work together really well as a team,” Ms. Fletcher said. “You have an awful lot of accountants in They say most parties end up in the kitchen and Saturday’s political meet and greet in Coventry was no here these days,” Mr. Condos said in his brief exception.

Ruminations There are only two kinds of people… by Georgia Young There are only two kinds of people in the world, my youngest son and I used to say. Those who like nuts in their fudge and those who don’t. He was of the don’t persuasion, and I was in favor. He even went so far as to do an extended family survey at one point and discovered it split pretty evenly. The original, “There are only two kinds of people in the world,” was a line from an old Bill Murray movie to explain why he and his wife had split up. Though his line was: “There are only two kinds of people in the world. Those who like Neil Diamond and those who don’t.” His wife being in the Neil Diamond faction. He apparently didn’t think the split had anything to do with the fact that he was totally nuts! So we frequently divided the world into two kinds of people. For instance, there are only two kinds of people in the world. Those who like Brussels sprouts and those who don’t. The don’ts obviously take that one (sorry, Nathan). Or there are only two kinds of people in the world. Those who like kale (which used to be a garden weed) and those who don’t. You get the idea. A few weeks before Christmas my grandson Gabe was visiting and wanted to make some fudge for his family. There was no question that both batches would contain nuts. The question was whether to go with walnuts or pecans. Then when his sister Brook was here at the end of the year, she wanted to make fudge for our little New It’s never too late to make Christmas fudge.

Nor are they apt to be in the forefront as so far behind. The short answer, and the one we campaign issues this summer.

Math and science were not my strong subjects it was just a question of scooping together It’s not that the more obscure issues are not in school, but there are times when sitting in enough mud and sticks to make a dam and important, but rather are the kinds of issues that committee hearing testimony is comparable to impound their flow. hardly see the light of day during a political discussion either in a bar or outside the post office. As a second-term legislator and member of the House Natural Resources and Fish and Wildlife Committee, I have yet to meet anyone who is eager to engage in the issue that has been front and center of my committee discussions for nearly every day since the Legislature went back in session this month. Storm water. Or, better yet, storm water runoff. It sounds like a topic that only a town manager or a director of public works would consider, much less discuss over a dinner of meatloaf and mash potatoes with their families. My first introduction to storm water run-off occurred when I was a kid growing up on Mountain Street in Island Pond. Every spring we built mud dams in ditches that carried snow run- off and rain into an imposing iron grate set deep into a low spot next to a street. No one knew where the water went when it disappeared down the drain. Once, during a dry spell in the summer, I yelled into one of those drains, square like a big checkerboard with evenly spaced holes. I only recall I didn’t do it again, as I didn’t get much of an echo. And, until this year, storm water drains and runoffs were entirely missing from my field of vision. As a standing legislative committee, we have spent nearly three weeks taking testimony and discussing a bill concerning the most effective way for managing storm water from impervious surfaces, or surfaces like pavement and metal roofs that prevent water from seeping into the ground. As you may have already guessed, it’s really a political bill that deals with a deadline missed by a bureaucracy, a favorite whipping boy of nearly every politician, regardless of party affiliation. In the comprehensive clean water bill passed by the Legislature two years ago, the Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC) was required to implement a storm water run-off fix on existing impervious surfaces of more than three acres by January 1, 2018. By the time the Legislature resumed this year, the department had already missed its deadline and, in a bill sent to our committee, the Scott Administration requested a year’s extension. As the enforcement arm of the state’s environmental laws, DEC, over the years, has locked horns with many legislators, as well as many of their constituents. Along with my colleagues on the committee, I was not feeling very charitable when their request came into our room. In short order, we received testimony from the Secretary of the Page 4B the Chronicle, January 24, 2018 Obituaries Joyce A. Dutton Joyce A. Dutton, 79, of Newport, she loved so much.
