By JOHN FLOWERS SALISBURY — Salisbury offi- cials are lining up a Town Meeting Day vote that will ask residents to close their local landfill and join the Addison County Solid Waste Management District (ACSWMD) for the town’s future waste disposal and recycling. Salisbury currently operates the last unlined landfill in the state. “It’s somewhat of a no-brainer,” Salisbury selectboard Chairman Tom Scanlon of the looming decision. “There’s a lifespan to a landfill, and ours is the last unlined landfill in the state. I would rather see it close sooner rather than later, so there are no problems with it in the future, which would carry a liability for the residents of the town. It is subsidized by town tax dollars.” Sharing wise words Scanlon believes most Salisbury STUDENT INDIA DANYOW interviews Ruth Lathrop, a resident at the EastView retirement community, for a Bridge School Language Arts residents share his opinion that biography project recently. closing the landfill and joining the Photo courtesy of Amanda Warren ACSWMD is the town’s best option. “Looking at the past discussion, particularly at the last town meeting, there was an overwhelming number of people in favor,” Scanlon said.

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. Because it is relatively flat, and the path would be 4-feet wide or so, it would be ideal for family bike outings with smaller children, or walkers out for a stroll along the scenic stretch that runs along the Otter Creek. Providing a safe pathway for families is one reason for the trail, but it would also provide better commuter access between the two villages via bicycle — at least for five months of the year — and would provide a better route for mountain bikers leaving from Middlebury to access the challenging Moosalamoo Trails at the Oak Ridge Trail Head, just a mile up the road from the Waybury Inn. With mountain biking surging in popularity, along with fat biking in the winter, it’s not far-fetched for Middlebury to consider itself a biking center (it already has terrific road biking) — a win-win for local residents and businesses alike. The groups appealed to the selectboard to get approval for a grant, which was unanimously approved. Whether the groups earn the grant, which will be very competitive, or not, it’s a proposal that should move forward with opportunities to apply for this grant and others in the future. Furthermore, this is a project whose costs are manageable and the benefits substantial. These are precisely the types of amenities that attract families and visitors alike. It won’t quite rival Stowe’s bike path or the Burlington Bike Path along Lake Champlain, but it could serve much the same purpose, and with town encouragement it could be a transformative community asset. Angelo Lynn Guest editorial A very wide border 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 Protec- tion, watches over the boundary between Vermont and Canada and, since 1953, has operated up to 100 miles into the interior of the country. That means every now and agenda we see border checkpoints in strange places — like on 1-91 near Windsor several years ago. These types of inter- ruptions to our lives seem small to most of us, but as cases have wended their ways through legal history, U.S. courts have empowered the Border Patrol to ignore certain constitutional protections. The Fourth Amendment, for example, (was written to) protect us from abuse of power by the government, requiring specific criteria to be met in order for a government agency to legally search or seize our property. A po- liceman can’t (just) take your phone for no reasons and start digging around, but at the U.S. border that safety provision doesn’t apply. Within the interior of the country, Border Patrol agents have more limited powers. However, the American Civil Liberties Unions, which tracks public Full basket corruption and abuse of powers, has cataloged a long history of behavior by PLAYERS WOULD BE hard pressed to sink a shot at this basketball hoop in Lincoln Thursday after a the Border Patrol that is difficult to square with our rights as guaranteed by long-lasting storm completely filled it with snow. the Constitution. Independent photo/John S. McCright As Vermonters, nearly the entirety of our state lies within that 100-mile zone. From Canada to Massachusetts, Vermont is about 160 miles long. The distance from the New Hampshire coast to our border isn’t quite 70 miles. That means there is just a small chunk in Vermont’s most southwest corner outside of the Border Patrol’s range. Letters to the Editor In their statement, Senators Leahy and Sanders and Rep.

Abe senior leads Independent field hockey squad Successful Eagle, Otter teams well-represented By ANDY KIRKALDY ADDISON COUNTY — If a movie director pitched a script in which an all-star team leader capped a senior season with a hat trick in the championship game — and the third goal was the double-overtime game-winner — a studio head might reject the concept for not being believable. But that’s just what happened on the Univer- sity of Vermont’s Moulton-Wynder field back on Nov. 3. And accomplishing that feat is one reason that Mount Abraham Union High School’s Jalen Cook earned another title: Addison Inde- pendent Player of the Year. Cook was one of a talented group that helped Coach Mary Stetson’s Eagles to an 11- 3-3 record and the Division II championship, the program’s eighth since 2000. Four more Eagles join Cook on the 2018 Addison Inde- pendent Field Hockey All-Star Team. There was not much of a drop-off in quality this fall from Mount Abe to Coach Stacey Ed- munds’ young 10-6 Otter Valley team, which played the Eagles tough in a 2-1 D-II semifinal setback. Four Otters are honored here. Coach Chelsey Giuliani’s Middlebury team won just twice, one more victory than a year ago, but took a step forward in its quality of play. The Tigers won a D-II playoff game and MOUNT ABE SENIOR Jalen Cook, seen here carrying the ball up the field vs. Middlebury, is the 2018Independent Field Hockey Player then acquitted themselves well in a 2-0 quar- of the Year.
