BRANDON — The Middlebury Union High School football team completed an undefeated regular season and clinched the top seed in Division II on Saturday, when the Tigers defeated host Otter Valley, 41-14.
The 9-0 Tigers, unofficially, will host No. 4 Fair Haven (6-3 overall, 4-3 in D-II) on Friday night at Doc Collins field. The Tigers won at Fair Haven on Sept. 10, 32-13.
VERGENNES — At the Vergennes city council meeting this past Tuesday, aldermen discussed a suggestion by Deputy Mayor Randy Ouellette that the city offer senior citizens a discount on sewer bills.
In a Thursday interview, City Manager Mel Hawley said aldermen did not act, but indicated they might consider such a move in the future.
“That is something that is worthy of looking at it,” Hawley said.
One reason aldermen did not move immediately is because of an unknown expense in the sewer ledger — how much it will cost to remove sludge from the treatment plant’s septic lagoons.
