Bear complaints continue to be high this summer. Here are a few tips for backyard composters to avoiding attracting bears:<br />-Most importantly, keep scent to a minimum by covering all food scraps or ‘green’ materials with carbon-rich ‘brown’ materials like dry leaves, straw, or ripped up paper.<span> </span><br />-Turn your compost often to aid decomposition.<br />-Use an enclosed bin lined with wire, or an open pile protected by electric fencing. Bait electric fencing with peanut butter or bacon gr<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">ease to increase effectiveness.<br />-Avoid composting meat or bones.<br />-For backyard chicken owners, feed some of your food scraps to your chickens and compost the rest, and replace scraps for chickens daily.<br />-For smelly waste, consider trench composting by burying food scraps deeply in your garden.<br />-Or avoid the hassle and take your food scraps to a local drop off facility.

WARM WATER CAN BE LETHAL TO TROUT<br />Vermont Fish & Wildlife and the Vermont Council of Trout Unlimited are encouraging anglers to consider their impact on trout w<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">hen fishing during the current hot, dry weather.<span> </span><br />Many Vermont trout streams and rivers are currently at or above stressful temperatures for trout and flows in most rivers are already dangerously low.<span> </span><br />“Trout prefer water temperatures in the upper-50’s to mid-60’s and become increasingly stressed when water temperatures climb above 70°F,” said Clark Amadon, Chair of the Vermont Council of Trout Unlimited. “The stress of being caught by an angler when water temperatures are this warm makes it much more likely that the trout will die after being released.”<span> </span><br />As a result, officials are recommending that anglers do not fish for trout during extended hot spells if they do not intend to harvest their catch for a healthy meal. Instead, consider targeting warmwater fish species such as bass, northern pike, bowfin, or panfish. Anglers who do practice catch-and-release fishing for trout or any other species should remember to take steps such as playing the fish quickly, keeping the fish in the water as much as possible, and releasing the fish without injury to improve the fish’s chances of survival.<br />Warm water temperatures also are a reminder about the importance of naturally vegetated shorelines. “Maintaining vegetation along streams and rivers is critical to provide shade that keeps water cool, even when air temperatures rise,” said Lee Simard, fisheries biologist with VTF&W. “Allowing trout to move to coldwater areas when the waters warm is also critical to maintain healthy and robust trout populations throughout Vermont. This is one reason we are constantly working to provide aquatic organism passage by removing dams and replacing impassable culverts.”</span></div>

<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
White River Junction — A backlog within the Vermont Department of Taxes in processing key tax forms tied to the state’s income sensitivity program has led to thousands of Vermonters receiving property tax bills far higher than they expected to owe.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Tax Commissioner Kaj Samsom sent municipal officials a note Tuesday acknowledging and apologizing for the delay in processing homestead declaration forms that are filed with state taxes, and said the department will complete the 14,000 as-yet-unprocessed forms by July 27.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
“We did not want to leave even 1,000 unprocessed by July 1,” Samsom said in a phone interview on Tuesday, referencing the date at which some towns begin to send out property tax bills to their residents.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Homeowners who live in Vermont and have a household income of less than $147,500 can qualify for the income sensitivity program through the homestead declaration form. They then get a partial rebate on their education property taxes, with a maximum adjustment of $8,000, depending on income level.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Concerned taxpayers “should call us,” Samsom said. “If they call the town and the town says, ‘We didn’t receive anything,’ then they should call the state and find out, and say, ‘Hey, I filed.’ ”</div>
<div class="col-lg-12" id="inline300x250" style="box-sizing: inherit;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
He referred people to the department’s phone number, 802-828-2505.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
John Sausville, 78, of White River Junction, said last week that he was dismayed to receive a tax bill from the town of Hartford that didn’t reflect his income sensitivity rebate.</div>
<div class="pull-right mugshot" id="mugdiv" style="box-sizing: inherit; float: right; max-width: 100%;">
</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
“It’s for a thousand dollars more than I expected,” he said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Sausville said that a phone call to the state seemed to have resolved the issue.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
“In my case, it was a data entry error up in Montpelier,” said Sausville. “They claimed my income was over $400,000, when actually it’s a lot less than that. Now they’ve got the correct amounts in there, and I will get a corrected tax bill, supposedly, in three to 10 days.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Others who were affected by the problem said they weren’t sure what to do. One Norwich resident, who asked not to be identified as income sensitive, said she had called the Department of Taxes but hung up after being on hold for 20 minutes.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
A phone call to the department on Tuesday morning resulted in a wait time of 15 minutes.</div>
<h4 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "sans-serif; font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 700; margin: 0.75rem 0px 1.5rem; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Too Many Red Flags</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Taxpayers seeking homestead exemptions or income sensitivity rebates to their tax bill are required to file applications with the state by mid-April; those that are “timely filed” ordinarily are processed before towns generate any tax bills.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
But beginning last year, the Department of Taxes has relied on a new computer system to process the applications. As with the old system, the new software approves most applications automatically, and flags a minority of them for manual processing by a staff of about a dozen people, with outside support from other divisions.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
The problem, Samsom said, is that the new, more sophisticated system is capable of flagging more scenarios for possible fraud or inaccuracy, and it sent 55,000 — more than 31 percent — of the 175,000 timely filed applications to human staffers this year, overwhelming the department’s resources.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
About 41,000 of those had been processed by early this week, leaving the 14,000 yet to resolve.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Samsom said each staffer is given a chunk of applications to work through at a time, which they fix either by reconciling simple errors (such as transposed digits in property SPAN numbers), or by calling the taxpayer to gather new information.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Samsom said different applications were flagged for different reasons — in about half the cases, he said, it comes down to the applicant having made some sort of error, such as an incorrect SPAN number, or a missed data field. The other half, he said, prove to be processing errors.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Some of the applications are being approved in batches with the help of the IT department, by removing specific reasons for flagging that have not proven to be effective at identifying fraud.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
For example, Samsom said, some forms were held up because they were missing their 1099 statements, which report various types of income, even though the amount paid matched to the relevant bank’s figures.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Holding such forms, he said, “is not appropriate,” he said. “We’re not seeing any value.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Last year, there also were processing backlogs for income tax refunds, for similar reasons, which has been part of what Samsom called the “growing pains” of learning the new system.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Samsom said that next year the department will know how to properly calibrate the system to turn up as many substantive errors as possible, but also “don’t set the threshold so tight that you can’t get them through in time.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
While he agreed that the downside is unacceptable, he said there is an upside.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
“We’ve saved the state millions of dollars in improper payments, because we’re able to find things that the older system could not find,” he said. “It’s a double-edged sword.”</div>
<h4 style="box-sizing: inherit; font-family: "Trebuchet MS", "sans-serif; font-size: 1.15rem; font-weight: 700; margin: 0.75rem 0px 1.5rem; text-rendering: optimizeLegibility;">
Headaches and Costs</h4>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Not all of the 14,000 affected Vermonters will experience a problem, Samsom said, because roughly three-quarters of the state’s municipalities don’t send out tax bills until a little later in the year, which means those towns will be working from updated lists.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
But in towns that bill in July, including Hartford and Norwich, income-sensitive taxpayers are left hoping that the problem will be resolved before the day tax bills are due. If not, they either will have to pay the full amount due now and wait until their second installment to receive the credit (which typically is split between the two installments), or pay whatever interest payments and penalties are imposed by the municipalities.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
The situation has created anxiety among affected taxpayers, and added headaches and expenses for town finance departments.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
When asked to assess the impact in Norwich, Finance Director Roberta Robinson offered a terse “not good.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Last year, she said, the state sent the town $1.25 million in tax rebate credits for 440 parcels. This year, she said, she’s gotten $815,000 for 330 parcels — and, since sending out tax bills on Friday, she’s received about 50 phone calls from worried taxpayers. The first installment in Norwich is due on Aug. 17.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
“We are getting lots and lots and lots of calls,” she said. “I tried to put something on the listserv just to get people to stop calling us. We don’t have the information.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Robinson said the staff will be hard pressed to clean up the mess, even after they receive the correct information.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
“We’re going to have to send out how many revised tax bills showing the new amount due? Not only is it our time, it’s postage, it’s paper.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Hartford Town Manager Leo Pullar said some sort of delay happens at the state level every year, and that the town is used to updating its bills according to a scheduled series of data updates that run through September.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
He said there’s no way for Hartford to modify its due date for the affected residents, because there’s no way to identify them.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
“We don’t know who’s going to be eligible for the credit until the state determines that eligibility,” he said.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Galen Mudgett, a lister with the town of Sharon, said the town was at about 380 taxable homesteads, not much less than the 400-plus he would expect, based on last year’s numbers.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
He said he knew of a handful of taxpayers who had filed their homestead applications in February or March, and who hadn’t yet gotten word from the state.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
“Right now it doesn’t make it any harder for me to do my job,” Mudgett said, “but after the next month, it will make it a little bit difficult because once tax bills go out, we have to go through the process of sending bills and correcting bills.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Gov. Phil Scott, “has been made aware of this situation and understands the frustration of those Vermonters who received incorrect bills,” spokeswoman Rebecca Kelley said in a statement responding to questions from the <em style="box-sizing: inherit; font-style: italic;">Valley News</em>.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Kelley said the Department of Taxes is working with municipalities to mitigate the impact on Vermonters, and that Scott’s staff “will be working to identify improvements to prevent such delays next year, as we all understand we must do better to ensure we’re providing better service to Vermonters.”</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
Samsom offered a flat guarantee that things will be different in 2019.</div>
<div style="box-sizing: inherit; margin: 1rem 0px;">
“Next year, we will not be in this situation,” he said. “Period.”</div>

A very important reminder to Spay and Neuter your pets! This month alone, our shelter has spayed/neutered 11 pups which is a lot for our small shelter! But it<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;"><span> </span>is so important and necessary! It is a frequent occurrence that animals in our care are not fixed. Spaying and Neutering not only assists in the reduction of unwanted pets, but there are many health reasons of why it is beneficial. An example is the new pup Roxie that we took in just this week. Without medical care, she surely would have crossed the rainbow bridge. A spay earlier in her life could have prevented her medical emergency. So please, spay and neuter your pets!</span></div>

Hartland — One person died this morning when a Charlestown man lost control of his south<span class="text_exposed_show" style="display: inline; font-family: inherit;">bound pickup truck on Interstate 91, crossing the median and striking a northbound vehicle head-on.</span></div>

Joshua Rondeau, 37, and two juvenile passengers in his 2008 Chevy truck were transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock Medical Center with non-life-threatening injuries, police said in a news release this afternoon.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
The driver of the northbound 2007 Toyota Matrix suffered fatal injuries in the 7:30 a.m. crash near the Hartland exit. The driver’s identity hasn’t been released.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
A juvenile passenger in the Matrix was transported to Dartmouth-Hitchcock with non-life-threatening injuries, according to the release.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
The Vermont State Police Crash Reconstruction Team is investigating. Among the questions yet to be answered is why Rondeau lost control of his vehicle, said Vermont State Police Lt. Roger Farmer.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
Traffic was diverted to Route 5 at Exit 9, the Hartland exit, for several hours this morning. The roadway was reopened at about 1:10 p.m., police said.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
In an email shortly after 8 a.m., police urged motorists to drive slowly because of weather-related hazards.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Rainy conditions are causing water to pool on the roadways in many areas, leading to an increased risk of hydroplaning,” police said at 8:07 a.m. “The rain also reduces visibility. Troopers are responding to a number of incidents and crashes on the interstates and other roads, and in many cases the wet weather is a contributing cause.</div>
<div style="color: #1d2129; font-family: inherit; margin: 0px 0px 1em;">
“Motorists are reminded to slow down in adverse conditions, increase following distance between cars and have your lights on to improve visibility. … Please buckle up and drive safely.”</div>
