Desert trout and other wild things My wife and I went to a museum last week. It was called a museum, anyway. But was more of a zoo, botanical garden, aviary and aquarium of native local plants and animals all rolled into one. And it was mostly outdoors. We spent time watching a prowling cougar, a pair of bobcats grooming each other, and a pacing black bear. One coyote sat posing on a rock while another one prowled. There was a large riverine otter environment (though the otter was nowhere to be seen). Trout swam in the aquarium. And one of the docents had a peregrine falcon out for display. There was also a porcupine, but we didn’t bother going to see it. Of course these are the sorts of animals one would expect in a zoo in Vermont, or up in Montreal at the BioDome. But we were at the Arizona Sonora Desert Museum near the outskirts of Tucson. And while I know that cougars roam much of the west, and black bears and coyotes are also ubiquitous in North America, I don’t think of otters and trout when I think of the deserts of Arizona. This was not a land of maple trees and ponds. The nearby “forest” was a cactus forest in Saguaro National Park. Most of the flowers we enjoyed were cactus blossoms. (Late March is a fantastic time to visit Arizona if you want to see cacti in blooms.) I first visited the museum when I spent two weeks in New Mexico and Arizona in 2014 while working on my book “Trout in the Desert.” I was staying in Tucson with former Middlebury resident John Jewett, who now teaches chemistry at the University of Arizona. He suggested I visit the museum, I did, and was I greatly taken by it. I returned each of the next two years with my wife. If I go back to Tucson again, I’ll probably visit it again. I also learned quite a bit. Tucson sits an elevation of about 2,400 feet above sea level. It receives on average of a little over 11 inches of rain per year, which is right around the borderline in the definition of desert. But the city is surrounded by mountains. You can look out from Tucson in any direction and see gray jagged (See Dickerson, Page 3B)

Men’s lax picks up pivotal victory Panthers bounce back vs. Amherst By ANDY KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY — The Middlebury College men’s lacrosse team bounced back from a pair of onegoal road losses, both against teams ranked in the top 20 in NCAA Di-

vision III, to defeat another ranked team on Saturday — Amherst, 1714, at home. The Panthers (5-4, 3-2 in NESCAC) are ranked No. 12 because of a schedule that has included four

losses to top 13 teams by a total of five goals. On Saturday they scored five straight times to close out the first half and take a 9-4 lead against an Amherst team that came in ranked at No. 4, but dropped to No. 7 in this week’s poll. Middlebury led by as

many as seven goals before settling for the three-goal win over Amherst (7-2, 3-1 in NESCAC play). Saturday’s loss followed an 11-10 Wednesday setback to No. 2 R.I.T. in a game played in Syracuse University’s Carrier Dome and a 9-8 loss at (See Lacrosse, Page 2B)

Middlebury takes two Lacrosse of three from Ephs TUCSON, Ariz. — The Middlebury College baseball team opened NESCAC West play this past weekend by taking two out of three games from Williams during the college spring break in Tucson. The Panthers swept a Saturday doubleheader, 2-1 and 11-4, after dropping the opener on Friday, 8-2. The Panthers’ Tuesday home opener vs. Norwich was postponed until Monday at 4 p.m. Middlebury (4-8) will visit NESCAC West foe Wesleyan for a three-game set this weekend. Saturday’s first game featured a pitcher’s duel between Middlebury’s John Bunting and Williams’ Tyler Duff. The Panthers got on the board with a single tally in the bottom of the second inning. With one out, Max Araya was hit by a pitch, moved to second on a Williams’ fielding error and to third on a fielder’s choice. Ryan Rizzo then singled Araya home. Williams (5-10) tied the game in the fourth inning. The Ephs got singles from Doug Schaffer and Jack Cloud, and Tom Benz drove home Schaffer with a sacrifice fly. The score remained knotted at 1-1 until the bottom of the seventh inning. Spencer Tonies ripped a one-out double, and moved up to third on a single from John Luke. Alex Beschloss replaced Duff on the mound for Williams and Tonies scored the winning run on a wild pitch for the 2-1 victory. That wild pitch came while the Eph pitcher was trying to intentionally walk the batter to load the bases to set up a force play at any base.

Bunting (1-2) tossed a complete game for his first collegiate win, allowing three hits and two walks and striking out three. Rizzo and Luke each had two hits for the Panthers. In game two, the Panthers took a 6-1 lead with six runs in the third. A sacrifice fly by Tonies scored Jake Turtel with the first run, while a bases-loaded walk by Rizzo made it 2-1 by scoring Luke, who had singled. Raj Palekar laced a basesclearing triple, and Alex Deutsch singled in Palekar for the final run. Middlebury added single runs in the fifth and sixth on RBI singles by Turtel and Phil Bernstein, and scored three times in the seventh on two errors and an RBI triple by Tonies. Joe MacDonald (1-0) earned the win for Middlebury, allowing three runs, two earned, on eight hits with two strikeouts and a walk over seven innings. Brendan Donohue went the final two frames, giving up a run on two hits with two strikeouts and two walks. On Friday, Eph Luke Rodino threw all nine innings for the Ephs, allowing two runs on eight hits with eight strikeouts and no walks in Williams’ win. Colby Morris (1-2) took the loss for the Panthers, giving up seven runs, six earned, on 12 hits with three strikeouts and a walk in five innings. Robert Erickson tossed the final four frames, surrendering just one run on three hits with two strikeouts and three walks. Johnny Read and Sam Graf poked RBI singles for the Panthers, and Turtel had two hits and scored a run.

The Panthers’ other losses came to No. 3 Tufts, 12-10, and to No. 8 St. Lawrence in double overtime, games in which the Panthers also owned significant statistical advantages. Coach Dave Campbell said in a Tuesday interview his team has been in every game, but things haven’t always gone Middlebury’s way. Campbell said he had told the Panthers last week that Saturday’s Amherst game was pivotal and to expect another close game, but at the same time said they had to play relaxed. “If you fear being in a close game and you tighten up, things probably aren’t going to go your way,” Campbell said. “But if you’re excited about PANTHER FRESHMAN JACK Gould keeps the ball away from an Amherst defender during Saturday’s game the opportunity and you’re not afraid of making mistakes in those mo- in Middlebury.

Women’s lax survives Amherst’s challenge AMHERST, Mass. — The Middlebury College women’s lacrosse team survived its toughest test of the spring on Saturday, defeating host Amherst in overtime, 9-8, in a duel of two teams ranked in the top 10 in NCAA Division III. The No. 2 Panthers moved to 9-0 and will visit Bates this weekend after a Wednesday home game vs. Hamilton. Amherst dropped to 5-2, 2-2 in NESCAC play. Bridget Instrum scored 1:48 into overtime to give the Panthers the win this Saturday in a game in

which they outshot the Jeffs, 27-14 and earned a 12-5 advantage in draw controls. Amherst goalie Christy Forrest stopped 15 shots to keep her team in the game. Amherst led at the half, 4-3, despite the first two of Instrum’s three goals and one by Laurel Pascal. Claire Cagnassola and Mia Haughton each scored twice in the half for the Jeffs. Cagnassola scored two more in the second half, but goals by Pascal, Emma McDonagh and Hollis Perticone tied the score with 14:25 left in

regulation Haughton put the Purple & White back in front two minutes later. Panther Megan Griffin cashed in a feed from Sara DiCenso to deadlock the score at 7-7. Amherst called time with 3:25 left and maintained possession looking for a last-second shot. In the final minute, Middlebury’s Chrissy Ritter caused a turnover and collected the ground ball. A successful clear gave the Panthers a shot to win the game in the waning seconds, but Forrest denied Instrum on a free-position shot

with six seconds left in regulation. Alli Sciarretta won the draw to start overtime in what proved to be the only possession of the extra session. Instrum netted the game-winner by getting past her defender and beating Forrest with a high shot. Pascal’s first of her two tallies allowed her to reach the 150 careergoal plateau. Ritter had a game-high three caused turnovers and added three ground balls. Katie Mandigo got the starting nod in goal for the first time this spring and made six saves.

Panther track fares well out West SAN DIEGO, Calif. — The Middlebury track and field teams on this past Saturday competed at in the California Collegiate Invitational hosted by U.C. San Diego. The Panther women finished sixth out of 12 teams with 56 points, while the men were tied for sixth of 11 with 61 points. The Panthers return to action this Saturday when they take part in a tri-meet with Plattsburgh State at host Springfield College. In men’s competition this past Saturday, the Panthers recorded many

top-five finishes. Kevin Serrao won the 1,500-meter run with a time of 3:54.20. In the same event, Sebastian Matt was fourth (3:55.16) and Sam Klockenkemper took fifth (3:56.41). Jimmy Martinez took fifth in the 200 in 22.20, while Ascencion Aispuro was fifth in the 3,000-meter steeplechase (9:57.18). The 4x100-meter relay team finished third in 43.97. In field events, Tyler Chaisson tossed the shot put 45’10.5” for a fourth-place finish. Deklan Robinson threw the javelin to a fifth-place dis-

tance of 169’3”, while Jared Whitman was fifth in the pole vault (14’5.25”). On the women’s side, Abigail Nadler was second in the 5,000 (17:24.63). Lucy Lang was third in the 800 (2:09.93), as was Basia Osborne in 400 hurdles (1:06.43). The 4x100-meter relay team was fourth in 52.40, while the 4x400-meter relay team was fifth in 4:01.77. Carly Andersen tossed the javelin to a runner-up effort of 133’11”, while Julia Lothrop was fifth in the same event (118’2”).

mates — or, rather, whole successions of climates changing gradually with elevation, and often hospital to the same species we find in the north. But we also encountered quite a few species we would not see in Vermont, including some archetypal desert creatures. Arriving at 8 a.m., before most of the crowds, we walked out on the “desert loop” and first heard the snorting of, and then saw, a family of five javelinas — 60- to 70-pound, furry, cactus-eating peccaries. The museum also had a beautiful ocelot and far more species and varieties of rattlesnakes than I knew existed. Though I have seen coyotes in Vermont, the coyote we saw on the rock that morning sat in front of a dozen huge saguaro cacti, and beyond those a wide, flat, arid expanse of the Sonoran desert. It was the iconic place to see a coyote. It looked far more elegant and in-its-element than its Vermont cousins. (It was only to be missing a roadrunner zipping past saying “beep beep.”) There was a whole town of posing and barking prairie dogs, which really belonged in a cartoon or perhaps a Beanie Baby collection more than a zoo or museum. But the highlight was the baby bighorn sheep,

less than a month old but already leaping and prancing about on the edge of a rock face that would have made most human mothers cringe with terror to see their child near. If it wasn’t for the fact that standing a few feet away were two very large adult bighorn sheep — including the lamb’s mother — with impressive curved horns I’m sure they would have been happy to put to use on me, I would have loved to hold the little fur ball. As for the Apache trout — one of the two native Arizona trout that had inspired my imagination when I was writing “Trout in the Desert” — it wasn’t quite as colorful as one might be in the wild, or as the ones I’d seen in paintings. Two years ago, I’d managed to hike far enough up the Gila River in New Mexico to spot some Gila trout. But I’ve yet to see an Apache trout in the wild. I hope to one day. I also hope that one day otters and beavers will swim again in Arizona and that the Colorado will thunder out into the ocean. But then, I also hope cougars will one day roam the Green Mountain National Forest again. I just don’t want to be surprised by one when I’m out hiking — in Arizona or Vermont.

The Panthers (5-5, 0-2 NESCAC) are set to host Skidmore for two games beginning at 1 p.m. this Saturday and then visit Johnson State for two more on Sunday. On this past Friday, Amherst (114, 2-0) edged the Panthers in nine innings, 5-3, on a two-run walk-off homer. Both teams scored twice in the second inning, with the Panthers striking first in the top half of the frame. Middlebury scored its runs on singles by Siobhan O’Sullivan, Hye-Jin Kim and Emma Hamilton. Middlebury grabbed a 3-2 edge in the fourth, when Sarah Freyre and Kim smacked back-to-back doubles,

but Amherst tied the game with a run in the seventh, when Julia Turner and scored on a grounder. With two outs in the ninth, Sammy Salustri singled, and Brianna Cook drilled the winning two-run homer. Neve Stearns (0-3) suffered the loss for Middlebury, going 4.2 innings of relief and allowing three runs on five hits with three strikeouts. Allison Quigley went the first four innings and gave up two runs on four hits. Gina Pagan gave up only one hit and no runs in five innings of relief to get the win. Amherst won Saturday’s opener, 7-4. Quigley (2-1) took the loss, going three innings and allowing five runs, while Stearns yielded one earned run in three innings of relief. Kat Maehr hit a two-run double for the Panthers,

Hamilton had an RBI grounder, Freyre hit a sacrifice fly, and Stern and Hye-Jin Kim each doubled. In the second game, Middlebury broke open a scoreless game in the second with five runs. Singles by Taylor Gardner, Stern and Kati Daczkowski made it 4-0, and the final run came on an O’Sullivan fielder’s choice. After Amherst got two runs back in the last of the second, a Hamilton single made it 6-2 in the third. In the fourth, Taylor Gardner plated three runs with a bases-loaded double to make it 9-6. Amherst made it 9-6 with three runs in the fifth before the game was called. Hamilton and Stern had three hits apiece at that point, while Irene Margiotta had allowed six runs on 11 hits.

When it comes to climate, moving up the slopes from Tucson to the top of this peak is comparable to driving from Mexico to Canada. Meaning that this desert actually does share some climate and creatures with northern states like Vermont. At one time, it even had quite a bit of water — not coming from the skies in rain, but running down from the mountains in brooks and streams and rivers. One of the exhibits had a map showing the year-round waterways of Arizona a hundred years ago. It was an abundant vascular system bringing tremendous life to the desert. Arizona not only had a population of otters, but beavers as well. But the rivers were dammed in order to supply water to all the big cities, and to irrigate the desert to grow crops. Now the Gila River no longer reaches the Colorado River, and the mighty Colorado is so dammed that for most of the past several decades its waters haven’t even reached the Pacific. In any case, these mountains are like islands of cooler damper cli-

Monkton, VT Homeowner Recommends Bristol Electronics We decided to build a garage/shop and incorporate solar panels. Dave from Bristol Electronics came out to advise us on our options and helped us with the correct orientation and pitch of our roof. Their prices were less expensive than the competition and for what I believe is a superior product. The installation was quick with no problems. Bristol Electronics is a locally owned and operated business that delivered great service before, during, and even now almost a year later. We have been producing more electricity than we can use since May and banking the credit with the power company. We don’t anticipate having to pay another electric bill. I highly recommend solar power and using Bristol Electronics to install and service it.

Skaters go national FOUR MEMBERS OF the Middlebury Union High School girls’ hockey team played from this past Thursday through Sunday for the Vermont Shamrocks in the Under-16 Tier II National Championships, which were held this past weekend in several Chittenden County rinks. Pictured, left to right, are Abby Gleason, Andi Boe, Tully Hescock and Helen Anderson. The Shamrocks earned a quarterfinal berth with a 2-1 record in round robin play, beating teams from New Jersey and New York and losing to a Colorado team in overtime. In Sunday’s quarterfinal, the East Coast Wizards, the eventual champion, eliminated the Shamrocks, which consisted of players from around Vermont, plus one each from New Hampshire and New York.

Nearly 20,000 large “trophy” trout will be stocked throughout Vermont in 2015, and anglers will be able to fish over 18 miles of rivers and 25 lakes and ponds that are designated as trophy water. “Vermont’s strong trout populations are supported by quality, diverse habitats ranging from small mountain brooks to larger rivers and even cold-water ponds that hold numbers of trout,” said Palmer. “Ultimately, this makes for great fishing opportunities and a really enjoyable outdoor activity for everyone from the avid angler to families and friends looking to enjoy Vermont’s great out-

City will enforce parking laws VERGENNES — Vergennes police are asking area residents to be aware that police are enforcing local parking laws after noticing a series of recent infractions. Specifically, police said, in the week leading up to this Tuesday they had ticketed a number of cars either parked on the city-owned green strip between sidewalks and roads, thus damaging the lawn or plantings, or parked facing traffic, something that creates a hazard when pulling out. Police warned they will continue to ticket cars parked in those fashions. On the other hand, the Vergennes wintertime ban on overnight parking on city streets ended this past Friday. Between March 28 and April 3, Vergennes police fingerprinted five job applicants, responded to one 911 hang-up call and one false alarm, conducted two VIN inspections on

Alleged drunk nabbed at drive-through ADDISON COUNTY — On Sunday, April 3, at approximately 10 p.m. staff at the McDonald’s/Shell Station on Route 7 in Ferrisburgh notified a Vermont State Police trooper and a Vergennes police officer inside the store that they believed an individual in the McDonald’s drivethrough was intoxicated. Officers spoke with the driver in question, identified as 28-year-old Neil Marchesi of Ferrisburgh, and said they were able to determine he had been drinking. Marchesi consented to perform standardized field sobriety tests, but did not provide a preliminary breath test. The trooper arrested Marchesi for suspicion of driving under the influence and transported him to the New Haven state police barracks, where he was cited to appear in Addison County Superior Court, criminal division, on April 18 to answer to the charge of driving under the influence. In the preceding week, troopers working out of the New Haven barracks also cited two other individuals for DUI. First, on March 29 at a little past 11 p.m., a trooper responded to a disabled vehicle on Route 7 in New Haven. The trooper made contact with

Vt. State

Police Log

the driver and detected intoxicants on his breath. The trooper screened driver Patrick O. McKnight, 27, of Monkton. A preliminary breath test showed that McKnight’s blood alcohol content at the time was 0.088 percent; the legal limit for driving is 0.08. McKnight was taken into custody, processed at the New Haven barracks and cited for DUI. Then, on April 1 at 11:47 p.m., a trooper stopped a vehicle on Rockydale Road in Lincoln for a traffic infraction. Police report that the driver, identified as 32-year-old Louis M. Brown of Lincoln, provided a preliminary sample of his breath that showed a blood alcohol content of 0.120 percent. The trooper cited Brown for DUI. In other recent activity, Vermont State Police: • On March 29 at a little before 5 p.m. responded to a report of a family fight at a residence on Lake Dunmore Road in Leicester. Police cited

Eli Holmquist, 26, of Leicester for domestic assault and lodged him at the Chittenden Regional Correctional Facility with bail set at $2,500. • On March 29 at approximately 11:25 p.m. responded — with Shoreham Volunteer Fire Department and Middlebury Regional EMS staff — to the junction of Routes 74 and 22A in Shoreham for a tractor-trailer unit reported to be in a ditch and about to tip over. Police shut down Route 74 near the intersection for less than an hour because the tractor-trailer was blocking the roadway. The driver, 25-year-old Romaine Reid of Windsor, Conn., was not injured. No court action was expected. • On March 31 at approximately 5:48 p.m. stopped a motor vehicle on Route 7 in Salisbury, and cited its driver, identified as 27-year-old Darren M. Boardman of Pittsford, for driving with a criminally suspended license. • On April 2 at 2:30 a.m. looked into a report of a missing person at the Bristol Pond fishing access in Bristol. Police said a 22-year-old Middlebury man was with a friend and became disoriented while in the woods. The missing man was located after a brief search in Bristol village. No charges were filed.

REAL ESTATE • REAL ESTATE

Ask our Agent...

Q: A:

Probably not. Research shows that sellers who worked with a Realtor typically received higher George Brewer average prices than “do-it-yourselfers” and in most cases were able to finish the transaction sooner with considerably less headaches and aggravation. Quite often buyers dealing with a seller directly feel that since there is no agent involved they will be able to make an offer substantially under the asking price, figuring that the seller can afford this since there is no commission involved. Most sellers prefer to work with a real estate professional in order to sell their property because of the agent’s experience in dealing with offers, conditions, objections, contracts, buyers financing, inspections, discussions of defects and on and on and on.
