Puppet satire draws hundreds An over-flow crowd of several hundred area residents jammed the Marble Works green on the banks of the Otter Creek last Thursday to watch the Bread and Puppet Theater’s Diagonal Life Circus explore the “bewildering, beguiling, and downright funny possibilities and implications of diagonality with the help of state-of- the-art paper-maché weaponry and the riotous Bread and Puppet Brass Band.” The event, held on a flawless summer evening with a cool breeze, was sponsored by Middlebury Underground.

Vergennes man convited on sex charge MIDDLEBURY — An Ad- dison County jury on Aug. 7 convicted a Vergennes man of lewd & lascivious conduct with a child under the age of 16. The defendant, 39-year-old Steven R. Desjardin, is scheduled to be sentenced on Oct. 14. Vergennes police were notified on Oct. 14, 2018, of a possible sex offense reported to have occurred in the city. Following an investigation conducted by Detective Ruth Whitney of the Addison County Unit for Special Investigations, Desjardin was arrested and charged with the lewd & lascivious offense. Police described the victim as a girl between the age of 8-10. The one-day trial took place in the Frank Mahady Court- house in Middlebury. Desjardin was released on conditions pending his sentenc- ing hearing. PAGE 4 — Addison Independent, Monday, August 12, 2019 ADDISON INDEPENDENT Editorial Community discussions: Pros and cons of school consolidation is next In the third of our summer series of discussion points, we’ll launch a one-time discussion into Act 46, the bill passed three years ago that mandated a consolidation of school governance with the expectations that school districts facing declining student counts might find ways to contain expenses. The upshot of that law and process has forced the topic of school consolidation to the forefront. Locally, only the Rutland Northeast Supervisory District, representing the greater Leicester-Bran- don-Pittsford area that comprises Otter Valley Union High School, has pursued school mergers. None of the districts repesenting Mid- dlebury, Bristol or Vergennes have moved to merge or consolidate, though the Addison Central Supervisory Union board (representing the Middlebury-area schools) has launched preliminary discussions. Meanwhile, some of the elementary schools in Addison Central Supervisory Union are under 50 students for grades K-6, and the farm population in some towns in western Addison County could see further contraction if family dairy farms continue to consolidate as history as shown over the past 50-plus years. A continued loss of farm families could lead to a further loss of students in area schools. The questions and topic points we’ll discuss are: • Current trends of student population and area demographics; • How many students are too few to make an elementary school viable? • What communities can do to keep elementary schools from con- solidating or closing, such as partnering with adult education, senior centers and other needed community services; not to mention simpy attracting more families to town. The discussion will be focused on the pros and cons of consolidat- ing elementary schools that might be considered too small. (Note: No bias is meant by that question. There are many valid reasons on both sides of this question; the purpose is to discuss them.) If you’re interested in joining the conversation, we’ll reserve the meeting room at Ilsley Library on next Wednesday morning, Aug. 21 from 9-10:30. Homework is to read Act 46; know the number of students currently attending your elementary school and what it was a decade prior; and Google “pros and cons of small schools,” or go to thebestschools.org (or dozens of other sites that can be found along those same themes.) You’ll find plenty of entries from which to take ideas for discussion. Hope to see you there.

ADDISON COUNTY School News Rice Memorial High School Ferrisburgh: First Honors (RMHS) in South Burlington — Olivia Rooney and Zikang has announced that the following Wang.

Comprised annually, the Toby Bunch of Middlebury, Phase I - 2014 Union College dean’s list honors Class of 2022, majoring in For a long time I had been thinking of going solar, but had not pursued it until I talked with a neighbor who students who have a grade point Computer Science; and Colleen just had hers installed. I contracted with her installer and soon had panels on the roof that supplied all of my average of 3.5 for the entire Pouliot of Orwell, Class of household electricity, with some extra capacity to supply an on-demand electric water heater I soon put in. I loved not hearing the propane boiler firing up in the summer to keep domestic water hot for the shower I’d be academic year and meet certain 2019, majoring in Biomedical taking 16 hours later. Thrilled with the installation and not having an electric bill. I even splurged and bought other requirements. Students Engineering. my first ever noisy window A/C. Phase II - 2016 While my primary heat source has been a woodstove and later a pellet stove, the propane boiler served as my backup. On a December road trip to PEI, I discovered the 25+ year old propane boiler died on me. I’m lucky to have had a monitoring system to notice this and awesome neighbors to feed pellets until I got back. Rather than buy another fossil fuel burning device, I decided to have heat pumps installed. At the time Bristol Electronics didn’t install those, but they were very competitive as I shopped around for additional solar capacity. So in February 2016 they were on the roof installing panels that would provide enough electricity year round to supply my heating needs. And, since the heat pump also cools the house quietly on the hottest days, I sold the window unit. Maybe I’m just getting older, but there seems to be more and more of those hot days. Phase III - 2019 Since I commute from So. Lincoln to Burlington, I’ve always felt guilty about all of the CO2 I’ve been emitting to get to work. I still have 7-10 years before I can even think about retiring, so I decided to make the investment and buy an electric car. And part of that investment was to buy the additional solar capacity to power it. I didn’t think twice about having Bristol Electronics do it. My roof was running out of space, and since it has a low pitch, snow coverage was a issue for the last two years. This time I worked with Chris, Stephen, Dave and Trevor to have a ground mount installed that will be easy to clear the snow off of. They did amazing work, despite weather issues, and were actually able to make some long overdue landscaping improvements during the process. I couldn’t be happier with my experience with this team!

But as a fair, there was lots of just plain fun stuff, like midway rides, and competitions, including Helen Curran of Whiting, below, taking part in the Ladies Skillet Toss and Richard Moran of Pittsford, below right, showing his winning form in the caber toss.

Huge crowd sees, hears annual duels at Field Days By ANDY KIRKALDY NEW HAVEN — In addition to mangling already badly damaged remnants of formerly valuable vehicles, awarding cash prizes and trophies and en- tertaining and deafening a couple thousand fans of motorized mayhem, Thursday’s G. Stone Motors Demolition Derby at Addison County Fair and Field Days answered a few burning questions. One question literally related to burning: How quickly can members of the Vergennes Fire Department put out a fire in an engine compartment? Answer: Based on three in- cidents on Thursday, give them about 10 seconds and they’ll get it done. Another question: Can there be true love at a demo derby? Answer: Absolutely.

Ashlie is Ashlie Bodington, another Demo Derby regular. Her cars read: “44 Days Until Mrs. Hog Wild.” Another question: Do fans get creative? Answer: Fans of the Whitney family of drivers all wore black T-shirts with “Team Whitney” on the back and “Talk Derby To Me” on the front. OK, just one more: What can be more American than a demo derby car painted to look like the Stars and Stripes? Answer: Three demo derby cars painted to look like the Stars and Stripes. Maybe two more: Is there money, as well as bragging rights, at stake? Answer: You bet.
