Middlebury attracts equine trash haulers Many companies vying for curbside work By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  A  new  trash/ recycling  collection  team  is  seeking  to  join  Middlebury’s  slate  of  haulers,  an  operation  that  is  powered  by  oats  and  hay,  rather  than  fossil  fuels.

Patrick  Palmer,  Nick  Hammond  and  Amanda  Morse  plan  to  bring  horse-­drawn  curbside  trash  and  recy-­ cling  pick-­up  to  Middlebury.  Palmer,  of  New  Haven’s  Thornapple  Farm,  has  been  providing  the  service  each  Friday  morning  in  Bristol  for  the  past  17-­and-­a-­half  years.  He,  Morse  and  Hammond  —  a  carpenter  who  also  owns  and  works  some  draft  horses  of  his  own  —  now  want  to  offer  the  most  densely  populated  neighborhoods  of  Middlebury  the  option  of  having  their  refuse  and  recyclables  taken  away  on  a  rustic,  horse-­drawn  wagon.

To  that  end,  Palmer  has  applied  to  the  Addison  County  Solid  Waste  Management  District  (ACSWMD)  for  a  license  that  is  required  for  any-­ one  seeking  to  haul  waste  for  com-­ pensation.  Palmer  said  he  already  has  the  requisite  state  permit. “We’ve  decided  we’re  going  to  do Â

it,  and  let  the  chips  fall  where  they  may,�  Palmer  said  of  his  service’s  expansion  into  Middlebury,  Addison  County’s  shire  town.  “It  is  an  exciting  new  opportunity.�

It’s  an  opportunity  made  possible,  in  part,  by  the  town  of  Middlebury’s  decision  to  let  lapse  its  curbside  re-­ cycling  contract  with  hauler  Casella  Waste  Management.  Beginning  April  1,  Middlebury  residents  will  be  re-­ sponsible  for  contracting  with  their  respective  licensed  trash  haulers  to  also  pick  up  their  recyclables.

It  should  be  noted  that  the  Palmer  and  Hammond  team  will  be  but  one  among  two-­dozen  choices  of  haul-­ ers  from  which  residents  can  choose  for  curbside  collection  of  waste.  A  complete  list  of  those  haulers  can  be  found  online  at  addisoncountyre-­ cycles.org. “Everyone  seems  to  be  receiving  it  well,�  Beth  Dow,  a  member  of  Mid-­ dlebury’s  recycling  committee,  said  of  the  upcoming  April  1  transition.  “No  one  has  been  horribly  unhappy.�

Meanwhile,  Palmer  and  Hammond  have  spent  the  past  several  days  can-­

Elinor Johnson, 86, formerly of Brandon WORCESTER,  Mass.  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Elinor  Dunshee  Johnson,  86,  of  Worcester  died  on  Sunday,  March  8,  2015,  at  the  Knollwood  Nursing  Center  after  a  long  battle  with  progressive  supra-­ nuclear  palsy.

Born  in  Burlington,  Vt.,  to  Earl  and  Lila  Trombley  Dunshee  and  raised  on  a  farm  in  Brandon,  Vt.,  she  graduated  from  Brandon  High  School  and  attended  beautician  school  in  Bennington,  Vt.,  where  she  met  Stanley  at  the  local  soda  shop.

Elinor  and  Stan  lived  in  several  communities,  including  Waltham,  Mass.,  Rutland,  Vt.,  Concord,  N.H.,  Hamden,  Conn.,  and  Londonderry,  N.H.,  as  her  husband  earned  promo-­ tions  as  a  lifelong  Esso/Exxon  employee.  After  retirement  at  age  55  they  moved  to  Tavares,  Fla.,  for  23  years  before  coming  to  Worcester  to  be  nearer  family.

Elinorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  secretarial  skills  afforded  her  work  as  the  assistant  to  the  Hamden  town  clerk  and  later  for  the  Mohegan  Boy  Scouts  of  America.  Her  family  says  she  was  a  loving  wife,  lifetime  reader  and  proud  Vermonter.  In  Florida  she  became  an  avid  golfer.  They  say  she  and  her  husband  enjoyed  summers  in  Vermont,  auctions,  and  traveling.  She  leaves  her  husband  of  66  years,  Stanley  Murray  Johnson,  of  the  Briarwood  Retirement  Community;Íž  her  son  and  daughter-­ in-­law  Kenneth  and  Andrea  Johnson  of  Worcester;Íž  her  daughter  and  son-­ in-­law  Joanne  and  John  Schmidt  of  0LOIRUG 1 + Âż YH JUDQGFKLOGUHQ

Pop Up production ON THE EVENING of March 6, six Ver-­ mont playwrights met at the Town Hall Theater in Middlebury and were given just 12 hours to write a 10-­minute play. The next morning the scripts were handed off to a team of directors and actors who were given less than 12 hours to rehearse the shorts before performing them on stage.

This year’s Pop Up Plays, produced by THT’s Haley Rice, entertained a sold-­out crowd who appreciated the tireless work from all involved. Seen here is part of the team behind playwright Seth Jarvis’ show, “Bit Parts,” as they rehearsed in the THT studio. The piece was directed by Jordan Gullikson and featured actors Wendi Stein, Bob Carmody and Paul Ugalde. Pictured here are, clockwise from left, Ugalde and Gullikson (seen in the mirror);; Stein and Gullikson;; Carmody, Ugalde and Stein;; Carmody and Gullikson;; and Gullikson, Stein and Ugalde.

Panthers edged by Norwich, 3-­2, in NCAA tournament By  ANDY  KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  On  Saturday  night,  the  Middlebury  College  wom-­ enâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hockey  team  suffered  its  second  straight  incredibly  frustrating  3-­2  loss.

But  this  one  hurt  even  more  than  the  one  six  days  before,  an  overtime  setback  to  Trinity  in  the  NESCAC  championship  game  in  which  Mid-­ dlebury  outshot  the  Bantams,  44-­22.  7KDW ORVV GLG QRW SUHYHQW WKH ÂżIWK ranked  Panthers  from  earning  an  at-­large  NCAA  Division  III  bid  and  hosting  No.  4  Norwich  on  Saturday.  But  Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  loss  by  the  same  score  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  in  a  game  Middlebury  con-­ trolled  throughout;Íž  outshot  the  Ca-­ dets,  32-­17;Íž  and  had  the  game-­tying  goal  waved  off  with  30  seconds  to  go  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  ended  their  season  at  20-­5-­3,  while  the  Cadets  improved  to  22-­4-­3.  The  Panthers  again  ran  into  a  hot  goalie:  Norwichâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  CĂŠleste  Robert  counted  a  number  of  point-­blank  stops  among  her  30  saves.

And  it  seemed  every  time  they  did  make  a  mistake,  despite  a  strong  de-­ fensive  effort  overall,  the  puck  ended  up  in  their  net.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  gave  up  the  puck  three  times  and  gave  up  three  goals,â&#x20AC;?  said  Pan-­ ther  coach  Bill  Mandigo.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  thought  we  outplayed  them,  out-­chanced  them,  and  they  capitalized  on  their  chances,  and  we  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t.  The  puck  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  bounce  our  way.â&#x20AC;?

Energy  group  offers  education  on  carbon  tax MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Energy  In-­ dependent  Vermont,  a  growing  coalition  promoting  a  tax  on  car-­ bon  pollution,  will  hold  an  educa-­ tional  forum  on  Tuesday,  March  24,  at  6:30  p.m.  at  Ilsley  Library  in  Middlebury.  This  is  the  beginning  of  a  conversation  that  will  help  Vermonters  reduce  their  energy  burdens,  transition  to  clean,  re-­ newable  resources  and  keep  more  money  in  their  pockets.  Vermonters  know  global  warm-­ ing  is  happening  now,  and  they  are  concerned  about  the  impacts  of  climate  change  on  future  gen-­ erations.  Extreme  weather  events Â

like  Irene  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  which  exacted  a  huge  price  on  peopleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  lives  and  their  pocketbooks  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  portend  the  kind  of  devastation  we  can  expect  from  a  warming  world.  Solutions  that  match  the  magnitude  of  the  prob-­ lem  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  can  turn  this  challenge  into  opportunity  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  are  needed  now.

Energy  Independent  Vermont  is  working  to  do  just  that  by  call-­ ing  for  putting  a  price  on  carbon  pollution.  A  fair,  strong,  carefully  crafted  tax  on  carbon  pollution  can  accomplish  three  important  goals: Â&#x2021; 6LJQLÂżFDQWO\ UHGXFH WKH JUHHQ-­ house  gas  emissions  that  are  exac-­
