Bristol, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics

“Recently, we had a small solar array installed on our garage by Bristol Electronics.

They were very helpful through all the phases of the installation process. It took us quite some time to decide that solar energy was the way to go. They were very patient with us as we asked lots of questions! Bristol Electronics always responded promptly and with all the information we needed. Once we made the decision to go solar, they made the process really easy and helped us choose an array that ¿W ERWK RXU HOHFWULF DQG ¿QDQFLDO QHHGV ZLWK WKH RSWLRQ WR H[SDQG LQ WKH IXWXUH 7KH physical installation didn’t even take an entire day and we immediately had online access to actually see our solar production! I couldn’t ask for an easier process.

If  the  town  votes  against  Article  6,  and  instead  opts  to  renovate  and  build  new  on  its  own,  town  taxpayers  will  face  a  $6.5  million  to  $8  million  plan  that  would  consume  6.5  to  8  cents  on  the  tax  rate  for  the  next  20  years.  That’s  a  tight  noose  to  wear  around  your  neck  for  two  decades.

Without  such  limitations,  the  town  could  think  of  making  itself  a  tech  hub,  for  example,  which  might  require  high-­speed  Internet  capabilities  suitable  for  the  next  generation  of  tech  start-­ups.  If  towns  have  it,  new  high-­paying  jobs  could  follow;͞  if  you  don’t,  those  jobs  will  go  elsewhere.  Similarly,  if  town  leaders  were  to  try  to  create  more  affordable  housing  options  here,  options  are  limited  to  try  to  create  revolving  loan  funds,  or  tax  breaks  for  creative  commercial  solutions,  or  anything  of  the  sort.

In  fact,  for  the  past  couple  of  decades  Middlebury  has  been  on  the  wrong  end  of  a  tax  spiral  that  has  seen  the  tax  burden  climb  as  resources  diminish.  Changing  that  paradigm  is  essential  if  Middlebury  is  to  remain  vibrant  and  an  affordable  place  to  live.

Town  residents  have  an  option  to  save  $5.5  million  in  tax  capacity  by  approving  Article  6,  which  could  be  the  difference  between  creating  a  vibrant  economy  in  Middlebury  over  the  next  15-­20  years,  or  watching  those  opportunities  pass  by  because  we’re  hamstrung  by  punishing  tax  obligations  made  today.  The  vote  Tuesday  is  about  choosing  affordable  projects  today  that  FUHDWH WKH Ă€H[LELOLW\ WKH WRZQ QHHGV WR PDNH VPDUW FKRLFHV DV RSSRUWXQLWLHV arise  in  the  years  ahead.  Vote  “Yesâ€?  on  Article  6.

Letters to the Editor Stevens  seeks  support  in  run  for  Brandon  position Hello,  Brandon  voters, My  name  is  Sara  Johnston  Stevens  and  I  am  asking  for  your  vote  on  March  4  for  the  position  of  Brandon’s  town  clerk/trea-­ surer.  Some  of  you  may  know  me  from  my  years  of  working  at  First  Brandon  Bank  or  currently  at  the  Brandon  branch  of  Heritage  Fam-­ ily  Credit  Union  while  others  may  remember  me  because  of  my  late  parents,  Tom  and  Nancy  Johnston  (former  Brandon  police  chief  and  Neshobe  School  para-­educator);Íž  for  those  of  you  who  don’t  know  me, Â

please  allow  me  this  opportunity  to  tell  you  a  little  about  myself.

Being  raised  in  Brandon,  I  am  excited  for  the  opportunity  to  be  able  to  serve  my  community  and  be  more  involved  with  this  great  town.  Recently  at  the  candidates’  forum  I  was  asked  why  I  wanted  to  be  the  next  town  clerk/treasurer.  The  an-­ swer  to  me  is  simple:  because  I  love  working  with  and  helping  people.  I  have  served  the  town  of  Bran-­ don  for  over  20  years  working  in  ¿QDQFLDO VHUYLFHV DQG KDYH YRO-­ unteered  with  our  local  recreation Â

department  on  many  occasions.  As  with  banking,  town  clerks/treasurers  are  responsible  for  understanding  and  adhering  to  strict  policies  and  procedures.  I  feel  my  experience  will  allow  me  an  easier  transition  to  this  position  if  elected.

In  my  current  position  as  as-­ sistant  branch  manager  at  HFCU,  I  am  responsible  for  company-­wide  training  as  well  as  developing  procedures  to  help  automate  and  streamline  our  daily  process.  While  my  ability  to  connect  and  communi-­ (See  Letter,  Page  5)

Poundstone brings her razor-sharp wit to the THT stage

Emmy-­winning  comedienne  Paula  Poundstone  is  fa-­ mous  for  her  razor-­sharp  wit,  drawing  from  her  own  complex  life:  three  kids,  13  cats,  demanding  job,  cra-­ zy  travel  schedule,  her  frustration  at  getting  older,  and  a  bag  of  neuroses,  including  her  fa-­ mous  inability  to  ever  shut  up.  In  other  words:  She’s  just  like  many  of  us.  She’ll  perform  live  in  Middle-­ bury’s  Town  Hall  Theater  for  two  performances  on  Saturday,  at  6  and  8:30  p.m.

SPORTS MONDAY

Eagles  down  Slaters,  43-­30,  for  D-­II  state  title By  ZACH  DESPART BARRE  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  top-­seeded  Mount  Abraham  Union  High  School  girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  basketball  team  on  Saturday  defeat-­ ed  No.  2  Fair  Haven,  43-­30,  to  win  the  Division  II  girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  basketball  title  in  front  of  a  capacity  crowd  in  the  Barre  Municipal  Auditorium.

The  victory  earned  the  18-­4  Ea-­ glesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  their  second  straight  D-­II  title  LQ WKHLU IRXUWK FRQVHFXWLYH VWDWH ÂżQDO appearance.  7KH 6ODWHUV ÂżQLVKHG DW ZLWK two  losses  to  Mount  Abe.  In  Decem-­ ber,  they  fell  at  home  to  the  Eagles,  7KDW ZDV WKH RQO\ ' ,, JDPH this  winter  Mount  Abe  did  not  win  by  double  digits.   As  was  the  case  in  2013,  when  the  Eagles  held  their  opponents  to  the  lowest  D-­II  tournament  point  total  in  decades,  defense  made  the  differ-­ ence.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  we  got  it  done  with  de-­ fense  in  this  game,â&#x20AC;?  said  senior  guard  Meg  Livingston.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  always  say  you  have  to  do  it  with  defense,  and  offense  will  come.â&#x20AC;?

The  Eagles  did  just  that,  generat-­ ing  many  of  their  scoring  chances  off  of  turnovers.  Throughout  much  of  the  game,  the  Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  deployed  their  tenacious  2-­2-­1  full-­court  press,  and  it  wreaked  havoc  in  the  Slater  back-­ court.  Mount  Abraham  recorded  10  steals  on  the  day. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  known  for  that  press,  and  it  works  really  well  because  our  guards  pressure  other  teams  to  make  a  bad  pass,â&#x20AC;?  said  junior  center  Isabel  Bren-­ nan.  Eagle  Coach  Connie  LaRose  said  the  press  wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  as  effective  vs.  the  Slaters  as  against  many  other  teams,  but  still  was  worth  sticking  with.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  it  wears  the  other  team  down,  constantly  looking  over  their  shoulder  trying  to  beat  it,â&#x20AC;?  LaRose  said.

LaRose  said  the  Eagles  adopted  a  similar  strategy  vs.  the  Slaters  this  time  around  as  they  had  in  Decem-­ ber.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  do  anything  any  differ-­ ently,â&#x20AC;?  LaRose  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  just  decid-­ ed  that  we  were  going  to  do  what  we  did  well  and  hope  it  was  better  than  what  they  did  well.â&#x20AC;?

On  offense,  the  Eagles  moved  the  ball  crisply  against  the  Slatersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  man-­

7KH VHFRQG TXDUWHU ZDV PXFK RI the  same  and  included  a  Livingston  trey  that  put  the  Eagles  up  15-­4.  Bas-­ kets  by  Fay  and  Brennan  expanded  the  lead  to  19-­4,  the  Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  largest  of  the  day.  The  Eagles  kept  up  the  defensive  pressure,  including  an  athletic  play  by  Fay,  who  poked  the  ball  from  a  Slater  guard  and  tapped  it  to  team-­ mate  Sam  Driscoll  before  stepping  out  of  bounds.  Fyles  scored  six  late  points  in  the  period,  however,  and  at  the  half,  the  Mount  Abe  lead  was  down  to  10,  22-­12.  7KH 6ODWHUV FORVHG WKH JDS WR ÂżYH DW RQH SRLQW LQ WKH WKLUG TXDUWHU ZKLFK saw  Livingston  leave  the  game  with  a  nosebleed.  But  the  Eagles  would  have  the  last  stay  in  the  stanza,  when  Driscoll  dished  to  Brennan  for  a  baseline  jumper  in  the  closing  sec-­ onds.

Early  in  the  fourth,  a  heads-­up  play  by  Brennan  slowed  the  Slater  momentum.  Seeing  Slater  guard  Alexis  Ellis  barreling  towards  the  basket,  Brennan  established  position  and  took  a  charge.

The  Slaters  midway  through  the  TXDUWHU WZLFH SXOOHG ZLWKLQ ¿YH RQ a  basket  by  Ellis  that  made  it  33-­28  and  a  layup  by  Fyles  that  brought  the  score  to  35-­30.

But  the  tough  Eagle  defense  wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  let  the  Slaters  score  again.  THE  MOUNT  ABRAHAM  Union  High  School  girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  basketball  team  celebrates  after  the  Eaglesâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  43-­30  win  Livingston  returned  to  the  game  and  RYHU )DLU +DYHQ LQ 6DWXUGD\ÂśV 'LYLVLRQ ,, VWDWH FKDPSLRQVKLS JDPH (See  Eagles,  Page  18) Independent  photo/Trent  Campbell

Author to discuss his book ‘Success Without Stress’ MIDDLEBURY — Author Cal Newport will present “Success Without Stress: Escaping the Cult of Overwork” on Monday, March 10, at 7 p.m. at Middlebury Col-­ lege’s Dana Auditorium.

An increasing number of high-­ DFKLHYLQJ FROOHJH VWXGHQWV ¿QG themselves trapped in a “cult of overwork” that urges them to do more, stay up later, and work hard-­ er. The result is stress and unhappi-­ ness. This talk offers an alternative: Do less, but do what you do better.

This simple strategy will not only make students more successful, it

will also increase their enjoyment of college life.

Newport is 31-­year-­old assistant professor of computer science at Georgetown University. He earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering and computer science from Mas-­ sachusetts Institute of Technology in 2009, and graduated Phi Beta Kappa from Dartmouth College in 2004.

Newport is the author of the blog Study Hacks, and four best-­selling books of unconventional advice for students and young professionals.

Refreshments will be served.
