MONTPELIER Vt. (WCAX) – Mental health counselors may have been powerless to intervene to stop a double murder in Montpelier last week.
Matthew Gomes, 29, is accused of beating his parents to death after obvious signs — and numerous phone calls — that indicated he was in crisis. But Vermont’s laws may have prevented care providers from acting.
Gomes called 911 multiple times Friday morning leading up to the alleged killing of his parents, Jerry and Mary Gomes. Call logs show Gomes first called 911 at 2:19 a.m. and reported a sexual assault but didn’t say where. He refused services. He called more than an hour later — at 3:48 a.m. — and hung up. Washington County Mental Health was paged at 3:57 a.m. and a screener spoke with Gomes before he hung up on them. Neither police nor mental health workers made contact with Gomes until he called 911 at 11:27 a.m., saying he was going crazy and had hurt someone.
It was then that police responded and found the bodies of his parents.
Washington County Mental Health is not able to comment on specific cases but they say that they can only step in if someone voluntarily asks for help.
In situations where the person may be a danger to themselves or others, it’s a high bar to clear for involuntary treatment and to deprive someone of their liberty. State law requires the go-ahead from a judge or other health care providers before anyone can be taken to the hospital for an emergency examination. The determination of whether to visit someone at their home also relies on their willingness to accept help.
Vermont has some of the strictest involuntary commitment laws in the country and there has been a robust debate at the Statehouse in the past year about whether to create a forensic facility.

U.S. stocks finished mostly higher on Tuesday as investors attempted to shake off concerns about rising geopolitical tensions involving Russia and Ukraine.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average dropped 120.66 points, or 0.3%, to end at 43,268.94. The blue-chip index has fallen for four consecutive trading days, its longest losing streak since Oct. 25, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
The S&P 500 rose 23.36 points, or 0.4%, ending at 5,916.98.
The Nasdaq Composite advanced 195.66 points, or over 1%, to finish at 18,987.47.
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday signed a revised nuclear doctrine declaring that a conventional attack on Russia by any nation that is supported by a nuclear power will be considered a joint attack on his country. It followed U.S. President Joe Biden’s decision to let Ukraine strike targets inside Russia using U.S.-supplied longer-range missiles.
Fears of an escalation in Russia’s war against Ukraine gave a boost to safe-haven plays such as Treasury bonds and gold. Tuesday’s rally in U.S. government debt sent yields to their lowest closing levels in more than a week, while gold futures tallied back-to-back gains, according to FactSet data.

Older adults own a bigger share of stocks, equity funds and housing wealth than a quarter-century ago, according to Deutsche Bank researchers.
That’s great in a year like 2024 when the S&P 500 has gained about 24%, something it has done in only five other years in the past quarter-century, according to Dow Jones Market Data.
But the heavy ownership of stocks among people in the 55-plus age category also should be bullish for bonds down the road, as older adults likely will be shifting their asset allocations toward fixed income from stocks, the researchers said in a 2025 outlook.
Bonds should do well in the years ahead, as age demographics are set to play in their favor.

Kevin Warsh, a former Federal Reserve governor turned Fed critic, is increasingly viewed as most likely to become President-elect Donald Trump’s Treasury nominee.
Warsh is a “staunch advocate of free trade,” one analyst notes, so selecting him might "signal a deliberate strategy by Trump to incorporate differing perspectives.” Read more about Warsh in the article below.
Former Federal Reserve Gov. Kevin Warsh, under consideration for Treasury secretary by President-elect Donald Trump, is known as a critic of both the Fed and protectionism.

Crude futures settled modestly higher on Tuesday as traders tracked developments in the Russia-Ukraine war, but the oil market appears to be “heading toward a phase of limited volatility, with a slight bearish tilt,” said Rania Gule, senior market analyst at XS.com, in market commentary.
“If challenges related to Chinese demand persist and abundant supplies remain, prices are likely to face downward pressure in the coming months,” she said. “However, any major escalation in geopolitical tensions or sudden shifts in U.S. monetary policy could reshape the landscape and push prices in unexpected directions.”
West Texas Intermediate crude for December delivery rose 23 cents, or 0.3%, to settle at $69.39 a barrel on the New York Mercantile Exchange after climbing 3.2% on Monday. January Brent crude climbed by a penny, or less than 0.1%, to end at $73.31 a barrel on ICE Futures Europe.

Donald Trump’s first term as president of the United States provided a good representation of how he views the nuclear market — and his second term is likely to support further growth in the sector and demand for the uranium used to fuel its reactors.
Trump’s nomination of Christopher Wright — the founder and chief executive of oilfield-services company Liberty Energy Inc. — as U.S. energy secretary not only furthers his support for fossil fuels, but for nuclear energy as well.
Wright is a “strong pick” for the Energy Department, according to Scott Melbye, executive vice president at uranium-mining company Uranium Energy Corp. “Given the transgressions committed on the oil-and-gas industry [by the] Biden administration, it was expected the top role would go to someone from an oil-and-gas background,” he said, adding that the so-called war on fossil fuels likely “ends on day one of the Trump administration.”

Nvidia Corp.’s stock has steadily climbed through Tuesday’s session to now rank as one of the best-performing S&P 500 names on the day.
The 4.7% rally in Nvidia shares, with about an hour left in Tuesday trading, comes a day before the company is due to report fiscal third-quarter results.
"Supply-chain data points, as well as discussions with industry participants, remain skewed positively and we expect another beat/raise scenario," Stifel analyst Ruben Roy wrote on Monday. "While expectations are elevated and our scenario appears to be widely anticipated … our conversations suggest that a Blackwell-driven inflection to the upside is more likely an April-quarter event than January."

U.S. small-cap stocks have pared most of their postelection rally over the past week. The Russell 2000 has tumbled more than 3% since Nov. 6, when the index advance 5.8% to score its best daily percentage gain since 2022, according to FactSet data.
Weighing on the small-cap momentum are surging Treasury yields, which often hurt smaller companies that are more reliant on borrowing. Meanwhile, outsize selling pressure in biotech — the second-largest subindustry group weighting within the Russell 2000 — has also hurt small caps after select drug trials disappointed and President-elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. as secretary of Health and Human Services, noted Adam Turnquist, chief technical strategist at LPL Financial.
Small-cap stocks are widely believed to be less expensive than their large-cap peers, but this valuation argument is also losing merit, Turnquist said in emailed commentary on Tuesday.
The Russell 2000 is trading at 28.4 times its blended forward earnings-per-share (EPS) estimates, which is higher than its 10-year average multiple, the strategist noted.
The stocks of companies that make or are developing the new class of weight-loss and diabetes-management drugs were sharply lower Friday, after President-elect Donald Trump named Robert F. Kennedy Jr. his pick to head the Department of Health and Human Services.

Gold futures on Tuesday tallied back-to-back gains as the worsening conflict between Russia and Ukraine helped fuel safe-haven demand for the precious metal, prompting prices to settle at their highest in more than a week.
"The use of U.S. weapons against Russia and the shift in Russia’s nuclear doctrine is a significant escalation," said Peter Grant, vice president and senior metals strategist at Zaner Metals. "This has prompted a tempering, if not a reversal, of the postelection risk-on flows that have dominated for the past two weeks."
Against that backdrop, gold for December delivery rose $16.40, or 0.6%, to settle at $2,631 an ounce on Comex, after climbing 1.7% on Monday. That was the highest finish for a most active contract since Nov. 8, according to Dow Jones Market Data, Prices remain well below the all-time settlement high of $2,800.80 from Oct. 30.
There’s a lot of uncertainty about what comes next, said Peter Spina, president and founder of GoldSeek.com. However, gold will benefit from fiscal challenges and dedollarization, and prices for the metal could head much higher in the coming years, he said — adding that gold at $3,000 may "look cheap" three to four years out from now.

National Rural Health Day: Ensuring affordable, quality health care regardless of location – WGIL Radio News
The Knox County Health Department and Knox Community Health Center are joining communities across America in celebration of National Rural Health Day on Thursday.
The National Organization of State Offices of Rural Health and rural-focused organizations throughout the United States set aside the third Thursday of November to recognize NRHD. The annual event is an opportunity to celebrate the “Power of Rural” and honor the individuals and organizations dedicated to addressing the unique healthcare needs of nearly 61 million people living in rural America.
“It is of vital importance that we ensure all rural residents of Knox County have the opportunity to be healthy and have access to affordable, quality health care regardless of where they call home,” said Michele Gabriel, Public Health administrator for the Knox County Health Department.

“The Knox County Health Department and Knox Community Health Center are proud to recognize the incredible work of our many rural medical, dental, and behavioral health professionals in our community on National Rural Health Day and throughout the year.”

Which health insurance plan may be right for you? – WDRB
A few showers mid morning into early afternoon, windy at times, clearing in the afternoon.
Cooler, foggy start
Updated: November 20, 2024 @ 10:42 pm
Experts say people shopping for health insurance right now should look beyond price when searching for coverage for next year. They say you also should consider doctor networks, prescription coverage and the financial risk you might face if you use a lot of health care. Millions of Americans are looking for 2025 coverage now during annual enrollment windows for Medicare Advantage plans and individual insurance. Plus, many employers are telling companies about their coverage plans for next year too. One expert says many people focus on deductibles and forget about coinsurance. That’s the portion of a bill the patient is responsible for after meeting the deductible. Coinsurance payments can hurt, so it’s important to know the risk you face.
