Letter to the editor: Franchises could boost Middlebury

Posted on December 6, 2018 |
By Anders Holm



With two kids in college and two taking college tours I have spent a great deal of time in some of America’s most iconic college towns. Most are very similar to Middlebury, with the quaint downtowns parents expect to see. All the college towns I have visited are dissimilar to Middlebury in one key respect. Every other college downtown I have toured, including others in Vermont and New Hampshire, include judiciously placed and well-appointed franchises. Yes, I said it, franchises.

Letter to the editor: Mandatory measures needed to preserve the planet

Posted on December 6, 2018 |
By Willa Brown



For those of you following international news, you may be aware that the UN has recently released several reports on the climate crisis. The first one shows a consensus that we have much less time — between 10 and 20 years — to avoid a global catastrophe. The second reveals that we have done less in terms of emissions reduction than even our least ambitious targets. In other words, our children are facing a world that will no longer be habitable and yet we are doing nearly nothing to prevent it.

Editorial: Multi-use path in Midd would be a win-win

Posted on December 3, 2018 |
By Angelo Lynn



Several area organizations lent their support at last Monday’s Middlebury selectboard meeting to a proposal to build a multi-use gravel pathway from the Middlebury Union Middle School to East Middlebury. The pathway would depart the existing Trail Around Middlebury just south of the high school lacrosse field on Creek Road heading south on that existing gravel road, eventually cutting across to the east side of Route 7 and continuing to Route 125 and East Middlebury sidewalks.

Guest editorial: A very wide border

Posted on December 3, 2018 |
By T. Calabro



Vermont’s congressional delegation this week released a joint statement expressing concern over upcoming operations with Vermont by the federal Border Patrol. That organization, overseen by Customs and Border Protection, watches over the boundary between Vermont and Canada and, since 1953, has operated up to 100 miles into the interior of the country.

Letter to the editor: Changing times show need for responsible gun laws

Posted on December 3, 2018 |
By Ian Ross



Before my family came to live in Middlebury in 1994, we lived in Pittsburgh for two years. In fact, we lived on a one-way cobble stone road in Squirrel Hill. I have fond memories of living there. The local Elementary and High schools, a sizeable park, and countless businesses were within walking distance of our house. I remember learning to play Street Fighter on an arcade game at one of the local newsstands.

A piece of play equipment incorporated into the design of the Triangle Park will encourage young families to spend time right downtown. 

Let’s work together as a community to design and fund this together!
