WHILE EAGLE FIELD hockey players dodged puddles and Raiders (that’s the U-32 mascot) during this past Thursday’s game in Bristol, those on the pitch didn’t enjoy the luxury of an umbrella during the rainy afternoon.

THE HOME AT 83 Court St. in Middlebury was the site of extreme flooding on Aug. 3, 2023, when rapidly falling rain drove water levels to unprecedented heights, trapping the home’s two occupants. The town bought the property through the Flood Resilient Community Fund and decided to take it down so that the plot can remain open-space in perpetuity, in order to reduce future flood risk and improve water quality in the area.
Demolition of the place, across Court Street from Middlebury Union High School, took only a few hours on Monday. Summit Contracting tore down the structure and demolished impervious surfaces.

THE FIRST EVER Silver Heist Run/Walk in Orwell this past Saturday proved to be a lot of fun. Commemorating an 1862 robbery in town, the pre-race entertainment featured Cliff Hunter as the bandit dressed in black-and-white stripes being arrested by a real Addison County sheriff’s deputy. Then came the 5K race with 66 participants raising more than $2,300 for the Orwell Village School Booster Club and the Orwell Historical Society Museum.

IT’S BEEN A beautiful fall in Addison County, and then all of a sudden we noticed that peak foliage season is upon us. Pause, look up and enjoy the seasonal show before all the leaves are on the ground. See more foliage photos on Page 9A.

IT TURNED OUT that Saturday, Sept. 20, was a glorious day for a bike ride in the Champlain Valley, and several hundred people came to the Middlebury Rec Field to do that as part of the 17th Annual Tour De Farms. The largest fundraiser for the Addison County Relocalization Network (ACORN), riders enjoyed panoramic views and beautiful back roads while visiting local farms in Middlebury, Weybridge, Cornwall and Salisbury. The 37-mile loop took participants to Elmer Farm, Blue Ledge Farm, Misty Hollow Farm, Sunrise Orchards, Lemon Fair Honey, Monument Farms and Morgan Horse Farm, and each of those stops included multiple food vendors.
