Black River Water Testing for 6/21/17: In spite of all the rain, the sites on the Black River in Cavendish all tested clean for swimming and boating on June 21 (Wednesday). These sites include Greven Field (53 CFU) and the Cavendish Gorge (116 CFU)). Please note that it is a good idea to stay out of the rivers and lakes within 24 hours of a heavy rain, or anytime the water looks cloudy, as Ecoli levels can be a lot higher at these times. Thank you BRAT and Okemo for providing us with this invaluable service. To check other sites that are tested on the Connecticut River watershed, go to http://connecticutriver.us/site/content/sites-list

Spaulding was arrested Monday morning after a homeowner on White’s Hill Road in Cavendish called state police reporting that he’d just been awoken by a male voice outside his residence saying “Okay..one, two, three…” right before he heard “a large banging noise that shook the walls and glass in his house.” Alex Turco told troopers that he grabbed his hunting rifle and ran to his front door to find Spaulding standing in his mud room “looking surprised,” Spaulding claimed he was looking for scrap metal. Spaulding reportedly ran away and took off in a red pickup truck, which was located a short time later in a driveway in Chester. A subsequent search of Spaulding’s pickup “revealed a large amount of scrap metal in the truck as well as numerous power and hand tools in the cab and bed of the truck, Spaulding, who has two dozen relatively minor convictions on his criminal record, was ordered held for lack of $10,000 bail on Tuesday and he is now facing a maximum potential penalty of up to 30 years in prison.

VT Health Care Reform Efforts are Not Improving Care: The Green Mountain Care Board, a regulatory body responsible for hospital budgets and insurance prices, published the results of a new survey Thursday, on the State Innovation Model, which established three accountable care organizations. The grant started in 2013, expires at the end of the month. The survey shows that about 9 out of 10 primary care providers who responded thought that health care reform had negatively affected care or not affected care, or they didn’t know whether reform affected care at all.
