Opinion: Fisher deserves to be re-elected

Posted on October 8, 2014 |
By Linda Buxton



I am voting for Michael Fisher this year because he shares my Vermont values.

I have known him for many years and have seen firsthand his tireless efforts to help families here in Addison County and around the state. He is a good listener when there are many points of view and works well with people from all walks of life.

I trust him, he works hard and he has my vote.

Opinion: Green energy project impacts should be shared

Posted on October 8, 2014 |
By Peter Rothschild



As yesterday’s article in the Rutland Herald demonstrated, a major issue in achieving Vermont’s goal of producing 90 percent of its energy needs from renewable sources by 2050 is how to balance what has been determined to be the public good with the democratic character of our society.

Opinion: Fellow student urges support for Calvin McEathron

Posted on October 8, 2014 |
By Mark Dickerson



As a 21-year-old who grew up in the Middlebury area and is currently attending Middlebury College, I would encourage Vermonters of all generations to vote for Calvin McEathron.

While Calvin is focused on a number of big initiatives, his commitment to affordable higher education is particularly important to me. As a college student himself, Calvin understands the rising cost of education as well as the importance of receiving pertinent job training.

Guest editorial: 'Sweat equity' defined

Posted on October 6, 2014 |
By Emerson Lynn



Researchers at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm have figured out that exercise safeguards against depression.

Anyone who experiences stress — absolutely every person on the planet — knows physical activity makes you feel better. There’s nothing like a brisk walk — around the Trail Around Middlebury, in the Green Mountains or just around town, or a run or bike ride— to clear one’s mind of life’s annoyances.

Opinion: How individuals make a difference on climate change

Posted on October 6, 2014 |
By Bill McKibben



In a recent piece in The New Yorker, Schumann Distinguished Scholar at Middlebury College and Ripton resident Bill McKibben summed up the role of protestors and how individuals make a difference:

“I’ve never thought that people didn’t care. I’ve always thought that, to the contrary, climate change caused a peculiar combination of deep dread and a sense of powerlessness. We are, after all, so small compared to physics. We sense that our individual actions (the light bulbs, the Priuses) won’t add up to enough to matter.
