Politically Thinking: State’s D.C. incumbents will roll

Posted on November 1, 2012 |
By Eric Davis



Sen. Bernie Sanders and Rep. Peter Welch are overwhelming favorites to be re-elected next week. These two candidates may get more votes than anyone else listed on the ballot, including President Obama and Gov. Shumlin. Sanders could be the top vote-getter in Vermont, with about 70 percent of the vote, with Welch not far behind in the mid-60 percent range.

Men find refuge, solace in their cars

By Karl Lindholm



Karl Linholm Clippings dad's car.jpg

Yes, I have retired, but I am allowed to teach one course a year in retirement, so that’s what I do.

I teach my class in the late morning, and then I don’t go back to an office with a desk full of unmet responsibilities and an e-mail inbox of notes impossible to respond to adequately.

Instead, I go home and walk the dogs. Or I go to lunch with a friend.

'Expert' offers tips for Facebook newbies

Posted on October 25, 2012 |
By Jessie Raymond



If you use the Internet, you ought to check out this really cool site.

It’s called Facebook. And quite a few people are using it lately.

In case you haven’t heard of it, Facebook is a “social networking” tool that lets you connect with others without the having to leave your house or talk on the phone, which, let’s face it, can be exhausting. Instead, you share pictures and stream-of-consciousness thoughts with a network of people known as your “friends.”

Clippings: Peace message highly guarded

Posted on October 18, 2012 |
By John Flowers



I began reporting for the Addison Independent way back in 1990, but there are times when it seems like it was only yesterday that I picked up my first notepad to research such stories as Olin Robison retiring as Middlebury College president; Gov. Madeleine Kunin electing to take a pass on another term; and Hannah’s Market closing in downtown Vergennes.

Politically Thinking: Statewide races offer little drama

Posted on October 18, 2012 |
By Eric Davis



Here is how I see the statewide races, with less than three weeks to go until Election Day.

President Obama will win Vermont’s electoral votes comfortably, regardless of how he does nationally. Obama’s share of the vote in Vermont, which should exceed 60 percent, could be his highest in any state, except for his workplace (the District of Columbia) and his native state (Hawaii).

‘Madama Butterfly’ proves a crowd pleaser

Posted on October 11, 2012 |
By Nancy Maxwell

MIDDLEBURY — Director Doug Anderson lifted up a bolt of magic fabric before the packed Town Hall Theater audience at Friday’s performance of Puccini’s “Madama Butterfly” and let it slowly unspool, delicately unwinding into wave after wave of beautiful music.

In other words, he’s done it again.

Clippings: Voter ID laws don't stem fraud, and aren't intended to

Posted on October 11, 2012 |
By Andy Kirkaldy



Before South Africa became a democracy, the band Johnny Clegg and Savuka created controversy not only because its members were both black and white when apartheid was still the law of the land, but also because it agitated for political change.

One of the group’s most famous and popular songs was “One (Hu)Man, One Vote,” which as well as being highly danceable describes the foundation of democracy as well as anything I’ve heard:

“The west is sleeping in a fragile freedom

Forgotten is the price that was paid

Around the Bend: Messy house mystery — Solved

Posted on October 11, 2012 |
By Jessie Raymond



Here’s something scary: My family and I are the victims of some sort of odd home invaders. These weirdos haven’t taken anything, although they have hidden my keys and cell phone once or twice. But they’ve been here. Repeatedly.

It had been happening for quite some time but we’d been so busy all summer we just hadn’t noticed. Then, what with the dismal weather last weekend, I found myself inside all day for the first time in ages. I took a good look around the house, and what I saw horrified me.
