By the way for Mar. 21

It’s official: Vermont’s Best Beard hails from Bristol. The hairy growth on the face of Bristol’s Steve Reilly earned that distinction last Saturday when he participated in the Third Annual Vermont Beardies fundraiser, which surpassed its goal and raised $52,420 for Vermont’s Wish Kids. Reilly won for having the Best Backwoods Beard, and took the top honor by edging out the winners for Best Urban Beard, Best Freestyle Beard and People’s Choice Beard. Congratulations to Steve and his whiskers.

A local builder tries on a new, faster way of insulating buildings

Posted on March 21, 2019 |
By Christy Lynn



Aerobarrier Sealing 1.jpg

ADDISON COUNTY — The field of building science changes dramatically and rapidly. Nearly every day, new products, techniques and methods are introduced that challenge the ways buildings are constructed and introduce potentially more effective and efficient solutions. Not only can these advancements help buildings perform better from an energy usage perspective, but they can introduce time and cost savings and reduce waste.

However, as with most things new, there are unknowns and could be hidden risks that make early adopters vulnerable.

Dear Homeward Bound: Can rabbits live happily outdoors in hutches?

Posted on March 18, 2019 |
By Addison Independent



Dear Homeward Bound,

My friend and I have been arguing about whether rabbits can live happily outdoors in hutches. She says yes because all rabbits are meant to live outdoors anyway and they are safe from predators. I disagree because all the rabbits I see in hutches are usually just sitting there on poopy wire and I don’t see how that could make a bunny happy. Is it OK?

Judith's Garden: Late-winter pruning is the perfect antidote to cabin fever

Posted on March 18, 2019 |
By Judith Irven



garden untitled-1137.jpg

Cabin fever hits us all in late winter: after months of indoor living we find ourselves yearning for spring, and we can surely be forgiven for grumbling about the heavy wet snows that come in March.

Cabin fever: “a claustrophobic reaction from being confined in a small space for an extended period of time, resulting in extreme irritability and restlessness, often accompanied by an urge to go outside, even in rain, snow, dark or hail.” That’s Wikipedia’s definition anyway.

Movie review: Transit

Posted on March 18, 2019 |
By Joan Ellis



Transit.jpg

Transit 1— Running Time: 1:01 — Rating: R

History hits every age group differently, sometimes with inconceivable hardship. In wartime, transit can be the zone that harbors survivors on the losing side. This is the story of Georg, a quiet man who faces internment and death if he fails to get on a ship sailing for Mexico or America. “Transit,” the movie, captures all this.

What is the future of town meeting?

Posted on March 14, 2019 |
By Abagael Giles and Megan James



TM Ripton IMG_7806.jpg

MIDDLEBURY — On Saturday, March 2, Jeff Fortin stood to speak at Monkton’s 2019 town meeting. “How many of you here are under the age of 40?” he asked. 

About six people raised their hands. 

“In 30 years, if this continues, will we have a town meeting?” Fortin asked.

It’s a question that others in Vermont are asking, particularly in light of trends that take some voting out of the meetings and put them into voting at polls.
