What ever happened to the field days as i remember it? Since when do they make a 5 year old have a braclet?  Children that don't have to pay a fee to get in should be allowed on the rides for free as well. Also, what ever happened to the organization? The derby wasn't that good, there wasn't wnough rides, and the games i used to play were no longer there.  I was not impressed this year when i attended field days. In fact I was quite disappointed.

Dear Editor, The“broadband bill�passed the House by a 132-2 vote. The Senate Economic Development Committee headed by Sen. Illuzzi has heard testimony for over a week on the issue of cell and Internet access in every part of Addison County and the State by 2010 (H.248). Discussion has been intense; many changes have been proposed. This is the way the process is supposed to work and we thank the Committee for its hard work on this important social and economic development issue and hope that it is approved by them next week.

The bill is also being considered in other Senate committees including Natural Resources.
