/LQFROQ ÂżQGV VROXWLRQ IRU LWV WUDVK KDXOLQJ GLOHPPD By  GAEN  MURPHREE LINCOLN  —  The  Lincoln  se- lectboard  has  been  searching  for  an  alternative  to  its  longtime  trash  hauler  since  Casella  Waste  Systems  announced  last  May  it  could  keep  coming  to  Lincoln,  but  for  a  much  heftier  price.  At  its  Oct.  18  meeting,  the  select- board  reached  an  agreement  with  Moose  Rubbish  and  Recycling  to  take  over  trash  hauling  and  recy- cling  services  in  town.  The  good  news  for  residents  is  that  the  new  agreement  with  Moose  means  business  as  usual,  in  terms  of  when  and  where  trash  is  picked  up  and  how  much  it  costs  residents  per  bag. “The  good  thing  is  that  Randy  Orvis  is  the  owner  of  Moose,  and  he  was  brought  up  in  Lincoln,â€?  said  selectboard  Chair  Bill  Finger.  “He’s  in  Shoreham  now,  but  he  has  a  con- nection.â€? Moose  already  provides  trash  and  recycling  service  to  Bridport,  Shoreham  and  Starksboro,  accord- ing  to  the  Addison  County  Solid  Waste  Management  District  (AC- SWMD). Because  of  Lincoln’s  geographi- cal  isolation  up  against  the  Green  Mountains  and  changes  in  the  trash  and  recycling  industries,  the  select- board  had  been  striking  out  in  its  attempts  to  interest  other  haulers.  Additionally,  the  selectboard  had  turned  over  and  rejected  a  number  of  options,  including  switching  to  curbside  pickup,  opening  up  the  town’s  transfer  station  on  Down- ingville  Road  to  residents  outside  of  Lincoln  so  as  to  generate  more  revenue,  or  even  leasing  its  own  truck  and  carting  Lincoln  waste  to  the  ACSWMD  transfer  station  in  Middlebury. “Anything’s  possible  as  long  as  you  pay  for  it,â€?  Finger  said  in  inter- view  last  month. Finger  described  the  arrange- ment  with  Moose  as  “a  different  kind  of  a  deal.â€? Details,  as  described  by  Finger  and  detailed  in  the  Oct.  18  select- board  minutes,  includes: ‡ 7KH DJUHHPHQW LV IRU ÂżYH years,  after  which  time  the  town  can  renew,  renegotiate  or  look Â

Moose  will  begin  collecting  Lin- coln’s  trash  and  recycling  in  early  December,  Finger  said.

Letters to the Editor Nice  guy,  but  Ferrisburgh  candidate’s  too  doom  &  gloom Are  you  represented?  I  like  War- ren  Van  Wyck  and  his  family,  they  are  nice  people.  But  does  he  truly  represent  us?  After  listening  to  a  candidate  forum  here  in  Vergennes,  I  realized  how  very  negative  his  views  are  regarding  our  economy,  our  schools,  our  business  climate,  our  energy  potential  and  the  future  of  Vermont.  It  is  all  doom  and  gloom.  I  questioned  his  statement  that  school  consolidation  meant  a  loss  of  local  control  and  a  big  board  would  move  in  to  take  over  without  knowing  the  local  schools.  This  is Â
a  grossly  exaggerated  statement  that  can  instill  fear  in  people  who  are  not  involved  in  our  local  school  system.  Afterward  I  asked  him  if  he  knew  who  the  people  were  on  this  new  “bigâ€?  board.  He  did  not.  I  tried  to  inform  him  they  were  all  local  folks  and  many  were  from  the  same  small  boards  he  previously  trusted.  It  is  still  local  caring  people  stepping  up  and  volunteering  their  time  for  our  local  schools.  The  sky  was  not  falling.  It  was  clear  to  me  he  wasn’t  listening  to  me  and  was  tool  entrenched  in  his  opinion  to  hear  me.

Have  you  ever  been  on  a  com- mittee  in  which  one  person  votes  no  just  for  the  sake  of  being  an  obstructionist?  It  handicaps  forward  progress  and  doesn’t  solve  prob- lems.  Warren  may  hold  the  title  of  most  no  votes  in  the  State  House.  I  researched  his  voting  record  and  here  is  a  partial  list  of  the  issues  over  the  last  couple  of  years  for  which  Warren  has  voted  no: ‡ 7KH (TXDO 3D\ $FW IRU ZRPHQ

Michael D.

up  in  Vermont  and  England.  He  had  lived  in  California  for  many  years,  but  regularly  visited  his  family  in  Weybridge.  He  is  survived  by  his  mother  and  three  siblings.  A  private  family  service  will  be  KHOG DW D ODWHU GDWH ,Q OLHX RI ÀRZHUV donations  may  be  made  to  H.O.P.E.
The  upcoming  election,  in  which  some  of  us  have  already  voted,  is  critical  both  nationally  and  also  for  the  State  of  Vermont.  The  im- portance  of  voting  for  sanity  and  against  racism  and  misogyny  in  the  presidential  contest  should  be  obvi- ous.  But  I  believe  that  the  statewide  contests  also  merit  our  attention  and  concern.  Because  of  the  need  to  confront  climate  change,  conserve  energy,  extend  health  care  to  all,  and  reduce  economic  inequality,  I  think  it  does  matter  who  we  elect  as  our  next  governor  and  who  we  send  to  represent  us  in  the  Legislature.  So  I  am  pleased  to  say  that  I  have  voted  for  Sue  Minter  as  the  best  choice  for  governor.  Sue  is  a  thoughtful  and  able  person  who  is  committed  to  a  better  life  for  all  Vermonters,  and  honest  about  the  need  to  raise  the  needed  resources  to  move  in  that  direction.  Despite  what  her  opponent  would  have  us  believe,  we  cannot  meet  the  real  needs  of  our  communities  without  raising  revenues.  Paying  taxes  is  one  of  the  ways  we  main- tain  the  social  fabric  on  which  we  all  depend.  In  that  same  light,  I  have  sup- ported  Claire  Ayer  and  Chris  Bray  for  re-Âelection  to  the  Vermont  Sen- ate.  Each  of  them  —  Claire  in  the  area  of  medical  care,  and  Chris  in  land  use  and  energy  planning  —  has  knowledge  and  commitment  that  our  state  needs  as  we  look  ahead  to  very  real  challenges  in  these  areas. With  three  able  candidates  for  the  Vermont  House  here  in  Middlebury,  I  have  voted  for  Amy  Sheldon  and  Jill  Charbonneau  as  the  two  most  aligned  with  progressive  ideas. I  also  urge  my  friends  in  Ad- dison  4  to  re-Âelect  Dave  Sharpe  to  the  House,  and  those  in  Addison  3  to  re-Âelect  Diane  Lanpher.  Their  opponents  are  good  at  talking  about  “Vermont  valuesâ€?  and  cutting  spending,  but  both  Dave  and  Diane  have  actually  grappled  with  the  issues  and  helped  to  craft  solutions,  especially  in  the  areas  of  school  funding  reform  and  transportation  planning.  We  need  them  back! We  cannot  afford  a  period  of  political  stagnation  at  this  time  in  our  history.  Moving  backward  is  not  an  option.  Electing  Democrats  and  Progressives  is  our  best  hope  to  keep  moving  forward.

We  the  below  undersigned  are  disappointed  that  the  lawn  signs  in  support  of  Valerie  Mullin  are  stolen  from  lawns  in  front  of  the  homes  of  those  who  hope  she  will  be  elected  to  the  Vermont  House  of  Represen- tatives.

VERGENNES  UNION  HIGH  School  thespians  rehearse  as  scene  from  “Grease,�  the  story  of  true  love  in  a  1950s  high  school.  VUHS  will  staged  the  musical  on  Nov.  17,  18  and  19  at  the  school  auditorium.
Vergennes  students  bop  and  rock  in  ‘Grease’  musical VERGENNES  —  The  Vergennes  Union  High  School  Music  Depart- ment  is  excited  to  present  their  fall  musical  production  of  “Greaseâ€?  to  the  community  on  Nov.  17  and  18,  at  7  p.m.  and  Nov.  19,  at  3  p.m.  in  the  VUHS  auditorium.  If  you  are  longing  for  a  glimpse Â
into  the  lives  of  high  school  stu- dents  in  the  late  ’50s,  this  is  the  show  for  you.  The  story  begins  with  a  class  of  1959  Rydell  High  School  reunion  headed  by  princi- pal  Miss  Lynch  (Alyse  Beauche- min),  who  starts  off  with  a  recita- tion  of  the  school  anthem  (“Alma Â
Materâ€?).  She  welcomes  former  cheerleader/yearbook-Âeditor  Patty  Simcox  Honeywell  (Cedar  Win- slow)  and  class  valedictorian  Eu- gene  Florczyk  (Xander  Deblois).  Eugene  gives  a  rousing  speech,  mentioning  that  the  alumni  who  are  missing  from  the  reunion  are Â
surely  present  in-Âspirit. Suddenly,  the  gang  known  as  the  Burger  Palace  Boys  (known  in  later  productions  as  the  “T-ÂBirdsâ€?)  and  the  “Pink  Ladiesâ€?  appear  and  give  their  own  version  of  the  Rydell  an- them,  “Alma  Mater  (Parody).â€? (See  Musical,  Page  17)

Surging  Tigers  run  past  Hornets 1R +DUWIRUG XS QH[W DIWHU URDG TXDUWHUÂżQDO YLFWRU\ By  ANDY  KIRKALDY ESSEX  —  The  Middlebury  Union  High  School  football  team  appears  to  have  saved  its  best  for  last.  A  week  after  the  Tigers  upset  second-Âplace  Champlain  Valley  to  earn  the  No.  5  seed  for  the  Division  I  playoffs,  they  dominated  No.  4  Essex  this  past  Friday  for  most  of  D TXDUWHUÂżQDO PDWFKXS DQG DYHQJHG D ORVV RQ WKH VDPH ÂżHOG WKUHH weeks  before  with  a  17-Â14  victory. The  6-Â3  Tigers  will  visit  No.  1  Hartford  (8-Â1,  8-Â0  in  D-ÂI)  on  Friday  at  7  p.m.  The  teams  did  not  meet  in  WKH UHJXODU VHDVRQ 7KH ÂżQDO ZLOO EH played  on  Nov.  12  at  Rutland  High  School  at  a  time  to  be  announced. In  some  respects,  this  past  Fri- day’s  game  was  not  as  close  as  the  score:  The  Tigers  outgained  the  6-Â3  Hornets,  290-Â102;Íž  allowed  them  RQO\ ÂżYH ÂżUVW GRZQV RQH LQ WKH ÂżUVW half  as  they  took  a  17-Â14  lead;Íž  did  not  turn  the  ball  over  and  recovered  an  Essex  fumble;Íž  and  controlled  the  clock  by  gaining  286  yards  in  63 Â
rushing  attempts. Senior  fullback  Spencer  Carpen- ter,  who  rushed  for  105  yards  and  a  touchdown  on  21  carries,  said  “a  lot  of  thingsâ€?  went  into  the  Tigers  turning  things  around  after  a  disap- pointing  home  loss  to  Rice  on  Oct.  14. Carpenter  cited  improved  focus  and  a  rededication  to  the  team’s  in- side  running  game.  “We  just  tried  not  to  hang  our  heads.  We  picked  ourselves  back  up.  We  got  back  to  the  fundamen- tals,  made  sure  we  were  getting  our  blocks  straight  and  not  hurting  our  offense  with  turnovers,â€?  Carpenter  said.  “And  just  doing  the  basics.â€? Coach  Dennis  Smith  had  a  simi- lar  take  after  a  game  in  which  quar- terback  Andrew  Gleason  threw  just  one  pass,  a  four-Âyard  comple- tion  to  Trey  Kaufmann  that  set  up  what  proved  to  be  a  critical  25-Âyard  'RXJ 'H/RUHQ]R ÂżHOG JRDO  “It  was  everything.  It’s  been  a  team-Âwide  focus,  and  it’s  been  a  coaches’  focus,â€?  Smith  said.  “Let’s Â
get  back  to  basics  and  do  some  things  and  get  good  at  those  things  before  we  worry  about  anything  else.â€? Mistakes  such  as  turnovers,  un- timely  penalties  and  missed  blocks  hurt  the  Tigers  in  each  of  their  losses,  Smith  said,  and  a  team-Âwide  dedication  to  the  ball-Âcontrol  ap- proach  of  the  past  two  weeks  has  helped  spark  the  turnaround.   “We  could  be  8-Â0.  We’re  just  too  many  turnovers  away  from  being  in  that  situation.  But  it  wasn’t  just  the  backs.  It  wasn’t  the  quarterback.  I  had  the  linemen  check  themselves  out,  too,  and  say,  ‘We’re  missing  blocks.  We’re  not  doing  our  part,  ei- ther,’â€?  Smith  said.  “And  right  now  I’ve  got  more  guys  doing  that.â€? The  Tigers  moved  the  ball  into  Essex  territory  on  their  opening  drive  but  had  to  punt,  putting  the  Hornets  on  their  17.  Essex  got  its  RQO\ ÂżUVW GRZQ RI WKH KDOI EXW WDFN- les  for  losses  by  Tigers  Maverick  Payne  and  Skeyeler  Devlin  forced  a  SXQW WKDW JDYH WKH 7LJHUV JRRG ÂżHOG

Election  ghouls? Nine  reasons  to  vote  Hillary  Clinton
Letters to the Editor Lanpher  dishonest  on  Carbon  Tax Diane  Lanpher  is  being  dishon- est  with  her  constituents  regarding  the  Carbon  Tax.  I  recently  emailed  her  with  a  simple  question  asking  whether  or  not  she  supported  this  tax.  She  responded  by  email  saying,  “Have  not  heard  of  any  carbon  tax  proposal‌.  There  is  nothing  for  me  to  comment  on  at  the  moment.  If  you  DUH DZDUH RI DQ\ VSHFLÂżFV SOHDVH OHW me  know  about  it.â€?  For  Diane  Lanpher  to  have  heard  nothing  about  the  Carbon  Tax  proposal  is  not  believable.  This  carbon  tax  proposal  was  put  forth  by  VPIRG  and  a  coalition  of  20  of  VRPH RI WKH PRVW LQĂ€XHQWLDO VSHFLDO interest  lobbying  groups  in  Mont- pelier.  It  has  been  a  major  topic  of  debate  between  the  gubernatorial  candidates  and  regular  Vermonters  for  months.  When  Lanpher  says  there  is  nothing  for  her  to  com- ment  on  at  the  moment,  that  is  also Â
dishonest.  There  were  two  bills  on  the  Carbon  Tax  introduced  in  the  House  during  the  last  legislative  session,  one  of  which  was  debated  exten- sively  for  two  years  by  the  Natural  Resources  and  Energy  Commit- tee.  The  tax  has  also  been  a  topic  highlighted  by  the  House  Climate  Caucus,  which  supports  the  tax  —  and  of  which  Lanpher  is  a  member.  Constituents  deserve  straight,  honest  answers  from  our  Representatives.  In  return  for  our  votes  we  de- serve  to  be  treated  with  honesty  and  respect,  and  we  are  not  being  treated  with  honesty  or  respect  by  Diane  Lanpher.  This  is  very  disappointing  and  not  the  kind  of  representation  that  I  want  and  deserve.  This  No- vember  I  will  be  voting  for  Warren  Van  Wyck  and  Monique  Thurston.  Cheryl  McEwan Panton
Lanpher  walks  the  walk,  honestly Earlier  this  year,  I  was  work- ing  on  a  state  grant  for  my  town.  We  were  told  that  having  a  letter  of  support  from  a  local  legislator  would  strengthen  our  application.  The  legislator  who  immediately  came  to  mind  was  Diane  Lanpher,  who  emailed  me  a  signed  letter  the  next  day.  Wow! Diane  Lanpher  is  a  seasoned  legislator  who  demonstrates  her  concern  for  her  constituents  by  responding  honestly  and  promptly Â

I  know  you  don’t  like  Hilary.  I  the  Supreme  Court.  We  need  her  to  be  don’t  like  her  all  that  much  either...  elected. but  I’ll  be  voting  for  her  on  Nov.  8  Gale  Hurd because  a  vote  for  Hilary  is  a  vote  for:  Weybridge the  Environmental  Protection  Agency,  Social  Security,  the  Voting  Rights  Act,  Bristol,  Lincoln,  Monkton  &  Starksboro  State  Representative Roe  vs.  Wade,  Marriage  Equality,  the  Community  Development  Fund,  PBS,  National  Endowment  for  the  Arts  and  Humanities,  and  reasonable  voices  on Â

RON HOLMES VOTE
This  year  the  calendar  makes  perfect  sense:  Election  Day  and  Hallowe’en  are  close.  For  18  months  we’ve  had  a  hefty  dose  Of  vitriol  and  wickedness  immense.  But  each  November  all  the   ghouls  go  hence;͞  We  take  down  sheets  and   jack  o’lanterns  gross.  If  Hallowe’en  has  left  us   comatose,  At  least  no  one  has  taken  great  offense.   Will  we  this  year  be  able  to  remove  The  evil  from  our  natures  late  released?  Will  we  be  able  once  again  to  prove  That  we  are  masters  o’er  our  inner  beast?  Let  not  the  horrors  of  this  time  go  on,  Lest  all  the  marks  of  culture  soon  be  gone.  Larry  Jones Bristol

Hi, we are Candy Corn and Trick-�or-�Treat. Candy Corn and Trick-or-Treat (nicknamed “Candy� and “Trixie� for short!) got their names because the Meyer family adopted them in October two years ago when they were brand-new kittens. They are sisters — Candy is the sweet one, and Trixie is the sassy (but also sweet) one. They are both excited for Halloween! Trixie, the black cat, loves pumpkin pie. Candy, the gray cat, loves to eat strawberry yogurt with anyone who will share it with her! Their favorite things to do are: sleep and spend time with the many people in the Meyer family who spoil them, especially Karen, the cats’ human “mommy,� and Kellie, Karen’s big sister. Candy and Trixie also love to give their “family� kitty kisses, too! Karen Meyer and Kellie Meyer New Haven

Bees  (Continued  from  Page  1) of  these  things  continues  or  is  not  controlled  somehow.â€? ‘WEIRD  THINGS  GOING  ON’ Charles  Mraz  of  Champlain  Val- ley  Apiaries  in  Middlebury  is  a  third- generation  beekeeper.  His  grandfa- ther,  also  Charles  Mraz,  started  the  apiary  in  1931,  and  they’ve  been  producing  and  packing  honey  ever  since.  So  when  Mraz  says  that  bees  aren’t  acting  normal,  his  observa- tions  are  based  not  just  on  his  own  but  on  his  father’s  and  grandfather’s  experience. “We  have  a  lot  of  weird  things  gone  on,â€?  said  Mraz.  “My  concerns  are  that  the  bees  are  not  function- ing  normally.  There’s  problems  that  we’re  seeing  that  aren’t  consistent  with  how  they’ve  been  at  all.  I’m  es- pecially  concerned  about  bees’  suc- cess  in  superseding.â€? Supersedure,  Mraz  explained,  is  the  process  by  which  bees  re- place  an  old  or  failing  queen  with  a  new  one.  It’s  the  process  by  which  queens  come  and  go  every  few  years  but  the  colony  lives  on  for-Â

Library project brings Celtic music to Bristol BRISTOL  —  Celtic  music  has  wafted  across  the  Green  Mountains  since  the  1700s,  some  of  it  com- posed  by  Vermonters.  On  Thursday,  Nov.  3,  at  7  p.m.,  Irish-ÂAmerican  artist  and  musician,  Reagh  Green- leaf  Jr.  will  offer  a  presentation  on  Vermont’s  Celtic  Heritage,  dis- cussing  our  state’s  roots  in  Ireland,  Scotland  and  Wales.  The  event  is  hosted  by  the  One  World  Library  Project  and  will  take  place  at  the  Lawrence  Memorial  Library  at  40  North  St.  in  Bristol.  What  led  this  group  of  people  to  9HUPRQW" :KDW GLG WKH\ ÂżQG KHUH?  What  unique  contributions  do  they  offer  to  the  patchwork  of  Vermont  culture?  These  are  just  a  few  of  the  questions  Greenleaf  will  address. The  story  of  Celtic  people  in  Vermont  interlaces  with  the  de- velopment  of  railroads,  the  stone  quarrying  industry,  the  American  Civil  War  and  an  ill-Âfated  inva- sion  of  Canada.  As  a  highlight  of  the  evening,  Greenleaf  will  per- form  songs  documenting  Vermont’s  Celtic  Heritage,  including  “West  Rutland  Marble  Bawnâ€?  by  a  Tip-Â
