An unfortunate squirrel met its demise early this morning when it monkeyed around with a transformer on Maple Street, knocking out power to about 2,760 customers in Woodstock and Hartland at 7:45 or 8 a.m., according to CVPS officials. According to CVPS Spokesperson Christine Rivers, a utility crew made it out to Maple Street and had the transformer up and running around 9 a.m. In Woodstock, the outage impacted the Woodstock Elementary School, the Sunset Farm office building on the East End, and other parts of the village.
