New Hampshire Man Missing After Crash

CLAREMONT, N.H. - It's a mother's desperate appeal to missing son.

"We just want you to know that we love you unconditionally," Joanne Davis said.

Davis' son, Nick Washburn, 26, crashed Friday night on a bridge connecting Claremont, New Hampshire, to Ascutney, Vermont. Police barricades still mark where his vehicle hit the guardrail.

Washburn's car was totaled, but what happened to the young father remains a mystery. The icy waters of the Connecticut River have his mom fearing the worst.

"It was so dark out he could have tripped and be lying somewhere and we just don't know," Davis said.

Claremont police are not only investigating Washburn's bizarre disappearance, but the violent episode allegedly leading up to the crash.

"Friday night about 12 after nine we received a call for a serious domestic violence assault," Claremont Police Chief Alex Scott said. "We responded to that scene. We were investigating that and through that we learned Mr. Washburn was a suspect in that case."

At the same time, police got word it was Washburn who crashed on the Main Street bridge. For the past two days, N.H. Fish and Game, and Marine Patrol have been scouring the area by land, air and boat. No clues have surfaced.

"While that canine search did lead us off of the bridge, it was inconclusive," Scott said.

Washburn's Facebook page is full of pleas from family members looking for answers. Davis says her son was upset when he left home.

"His home life and the family situation was difficult," she said. "They were going through a lot of changes."

She says he was not dressed for the elements and left his cellphone behind. She now pleads that despite any trouble, she just wants her only son to come home.

"We need you. Your son needs you. Your family needs you and we miss you and we're very worried and we just want to find you," Davis said.

There are warrants out for Washburn's arrest related to the domestic violence incident. Police are working to locate him, but say at this point his well-being is their top priority.

Anyone with information on Friday night's events or Washburn's whereabouts is asked to call Claremont police at 603-542-9538.

Weathersfield, Four Other Towns Form Team to "Solarize" Area Homes

Debbie Diegoli, dayglo78@hotmail.com, Route 5

Southern Windsor County will be well represented in the next round of “Solarize Upper Valley,” which will run through the end of September, 2015. The towns of Windsor, Weathersfield, Reading, West Windsor and Cavendish have been chosen as a team to promote residential solar power through the program run by the non-profit Vital Communities. The purpose of Solarize the Upper Valley is to significantly ramp up the rate of solar adoption in the Upper Valley, even beyond the borders of participating communities and beyond the time frame of each 15-week outreach campaign. Solarize accomplishes this by encouraging a very public and very positive conversation about solar energy throughout the region, and by demonstrating numerous solar success stories. The program teams up local communities with competitively chosen solar photovoltaic (PV) installers to make residential-scale solar energy more accessible and affordable for residents across the region.

Vital Communities has selected three such teams within the 69-town Vital Communities service area in the Upper Valley of Vermont and New Hampshire to participate in Round Three of the Solarize Upper Valley program. Community teams will work with Vital Communities to choose their own solar PV installer partner. The selected PV installer(s) will provide, at a minimum, competitive tiered pricing (prices drop for everyone as more residents sign up), free site visits, collaboration in community outreach, and installation services. Each community team and partner installer, with support from Vital Communities, will develop and implement a community outreach campaign between June and September 2015 with the goal of at least doubling the number of solar PV installations in each community.

A successful Solarize campaign is dependent on committed and dedicated volunteers, particularly to creatively spread the word to their communities about Solarize. Volunteer teams will collaborate on a variety of outreach approaches. Local energy committees in each town are now seeking volunteers to help with publicity and other tasks.

Lead volunteers for the participating towns are:
Becky Basch (Reading and West Windsor) – rebeccabasch@comcast.net
Peter LaBelle (Cavendish)- peterjlabelle@aol.com
Julia Lloyd Wright (Weathersfield) – dartthol@sover.net
Brendan Dangelo (Windsor) - danbrendan@gmail.com

In Three Months, Recycling Will Be Mandatory In Vermont

By Steve Zind

  Under Act 148 of the Universal Recycling Law, starting on July 1 every residence and business will be required to separate recyclable metal, glass, plastic and paper from trash.

  Vermont Waste Management & Protection Division

  Vermont is poised to take the next step toward the goal of universal recycling.

Many of those involved in producing and handling waste met in Randolph Center Thursday for an annual summit to discuss how recycling is changing.

Already under Act 148 the state’s Universal Recycling Law, transfer stations and drop-off facilities have to accept recyclables. Beginning July 1, trash haulers will have to do the same at no additional charge.

Most significantly, on that date recycling will shift from voluntary to mandatory. Every residence and business will be required to separate recyclable metal, glass, plastic and paper from trash.

“The reason is not only that we have limited landfill space, but these materials are commodities. We have two facilities in this state that support green jobs where recyclables are sorted and sold to market,” says Josh Kelly of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources.

Also beginning July 1, municipalities will have to provide recycling containers along with trash cans in public places and transfer stations, and drop-off facilities will be required to accept leaf and yard debris.

"The reason is not only that we have limited landfill space, but these materials are commodities. We have two facilities in this state that support green jobs where recyclables are sorted and sold to market." - Josh Kelly of the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources 

 

Many pending provisions of the universal recycling law are aimed at getting food and other organic waste diverted for composting, beginning with large supermarkets and other big institutional producers. In 2020, food scraps, too, will be banned from landfills. .

Kelly says there’s a growing infrastructure of haulers and composting and biodigester facilities able to handle food waste.

He says many large food waste producers are already separating materials for composting, but eventually restaurants will have to take the same step taken seven years ago by the Wayside Restaurant in Central Vermont.

“I said no twice to the idea,” says Wayside owner Brian Zecchinelli. “It seemed very overwhelming, but I talked to the staff and listened to the school children who were so enthusiastic, so we adopted it and it’s real easy.”

According to the state, 50 percent of the waste that currently ends up in the landfill can be recycled or composted.

Bruce D. Baker, Rutgers University
Wendy I. Geller, Vermont State Agency of Education
Executive Summary
In January, 2015, graduate students from Penn State University released a report on Vermont’s education system, seemingly in an effort to head off proposed changes to state education finance policies that might increase pressure on very small districts and schools to consolidate. Conflating consolidation at the district level with consolidation at the school level, among other policy recommendations, the report suggested that the current small schools grant be increased, not decreased, and also restructured, so as to help sustain small schools. The report also suggested that any lowering of the “excess spending threshold” include exemptions for very small schools so as not to put unnecessary budgetary pressure on those schools.

Did You Miss The Dog License Deadline?

 According to Vermont State Law, all dogs must be licensed by April 1st in the town they reside in.

While renewing your dog's license is an annual occurrence, the number of licensed dogs has dropped annually.

 As part of the licensing process, residents do have to show proof their dogs are vaccinated for rabies, and disclose whether they're spayed or neutered. A tag will help locate your pet in a worst case scenario.

When a stray dog is found without a license or even a microchip, they're impounded for up to ten days.
