Robinson  went  on  to  note  that  Mandela  was  not  always  viewed  so  favorably.  President  Ronald  Reagan  and  British  Prime  Minister  Margaret  Thatcher  were  â&#x20AC;&#x153;one-­time  detractors  who  considered  the  organization  that  Mandela  headed,  the  African  National  Congress,  a  terrorist  group  trying  to  overthrow  South  Africaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  legitimate  government.â&#x20AC;?  Imagine  that,  or  remember.  In  retrospect,  how  mistaken  they  were,  and  yet  it  was  a  commonly  held  belief  across  this  country  and  in  many  others.

The  white-­run  apartheid  government  jailed  Mandela  in  1973.  By  the  time  of  his  release  in  1990,  he  had  gained  international  stature  and  began  touring  the  world  with  his  message  of  peaceful  change  in  South  Africa  and  D WUDQVLWLRQ WR D GHPRFUDWLFDOO\ HOHFWHG JRYHUQPHQW ,Q VSLWH RI ÂżYH GHFDGHV of  brutal  and  repressive  rule  under  the  apartheid  government,  he  resisted  revenge  and  guided  angry  residents  toward  a  peaceful  transition.  He  was  elected  president  in  1994.  For  those  of  us  who  remember,  the  relatively  peaceful  transition  was  nothing  short  or  astounding.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  world  remembers  the  great  leader  who  acted  without  bitterness,â&#x20AC;?  Robinson  wrote.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  Mandela  could  play  that  role  only  because  of  his  decades  of  implacable  opposition  to  a  system  that  he  knew  was  evil.  So  we  should  remember  not  only  the  man  who  embraced  his  former  enemies,  but  also  the  man  who  refused  to  be  bowed  by  those  enemies,  who  remained  militant  despite  27  years  of  imprisonment,  who  walked  out  of  jail  and  into  freedom  with  his  head  held  high  and  his  eyes  toward  the  future.â&#x20AC;?

Another  apt  tribute  came  from  President  Barack  Obama,  who  wrote:  â&#x20AC;&#x153;At  his  trial  in  1964,  Nelson  Mandela  closed  his  statement  from  the  dock  saying,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;I  have  fought  against  white  domination  and  I  have  fought  against  black  domination.  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  cherished  the  ideal  of  a  democratic  and  free  society  in  which  all  persons  live  together  in  harmony  and  with  equal  opportunities.  It  is  an  ideal  that  I  hope  to  live  for  and  to  achieve.  But  if  needs  be,  it  is  an  ideal  for  which  I  am  prepared  to  die.â&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nelson  Mandela  lived  for  that  ideal  and  he  made  it  real. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He  achieved  more  than  could  be  expected  of  any  man.

Letters to the Editor

Letter (Continued  from  Page  4) 3.2  positions.  Notwithstanding  Stangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  and  Searsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  (the  MUMS  faculty)  concerns,  I  think  it  is  im-­ portant  to  note  the  following.

Educational  research  regard-­ ing  evidenced-­based  practices  is  clear  that  studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  academic  success,  motivation  for  learning,  the  development  of  self-­discipline  and  responsibility,  bullying  and  violence  prevention,  and  the  honoring  of  diversity  are  directly  correlated  with  the  building  of  positive  teacher/student  relation-­ ships.  The  current  middle  school  team  model  at  MUMS  is  founded  on  ensuring  the  capacity  of  teach-­ ers  to  establish  such  relationships  with  students  from  the  time  they  enter  as  seventh-­graders  through  eighth  grade.

It  might  be  espoused  that  fewer  students  can  allow  for  fewer  teachers  without  diminishing  the  capacity  for  building  teacher/stu-­ dent  relationships  and  its  afore-­ mentioned  positive  effects.  While  such  thinking  may  be  applicable  to  producing  widgets,  it  isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  ap-­ plicable  to  schools.  In  this  context  educational  research  is  also  clear  that  the  diversity  of  studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  academic  and  social-­emotional  needs  is  increasing  steadily.  The  gap  in  educational  progress  between  students  from  poor  and  wealthy  families  is  one  indication  of  such  increasing  diversity  that  may  likely  be  compounded  by  the  adoption  of  new  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Common  Coreâ&#x20AC;?  standards  of  achievement.  Per-­ haps  our  school  budgets  should  be  UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWLYH RI SURYLGLQJ HGXFDWRUV with  the  resources  required  to  meet  studentsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  increasingly  varied  needs  rather  than  determined  by  simply Â

counting  the  number  of  heads  in  a  classroom.

Educational  research  also  ac-­ knowledges  that  the  profession  of  teaching  requires  much  more  than  merely  standing  in  front  of  a  group  of  students  and  offering  instruc-­ tion.  The  planning  of  learning  experiences  and  the  other  myriad  of  tasks  for  which  teachers  are  individually  and  collaboratively  responsible  is  daunting.  Effective  instruction,  student  success  and  positive  school  climate  depend  (among  several  variables)  upon  ensuring  that  educators  have  time  to  work  together  designing,  plan-­ ning  and  evaluating  instruction  and  discussing  their  teaching  practices  and  student  progress.

Student  success  and  positive  school  climate  also  intimately  depend  upon  tangible  support  for  enabling  educators  to  experiment  with  different  teaching  methods,  maintaining  high  expectations  of  themselves  and  students,  and  broadening  their  repertoire  of  how  students  learn  best.  The  current  middle  school  model  at  MUMS  supports  all  of  the  above  attributes.  Eliminating  teaching  positions  places  those  attributes  in  jeopardy.

As  those  involved  continue  to  develop  the  2014-­2015  school  budget,  I  would  like  to  think  that  as  community  vitally  concerned  with  the  education  of  our  children  we  have  the  intelligence,  creativity,  problem-­solving  ability  and  shared  interest  to  work  collaboratively  in  GHYHORSLQJ D EXGJHW WKDW UHĂ&#x20AC;HFWV and  preserves  what  we  know  is  ef-­ IHFWLYH ZLWK RXU DELOLW\ WR ÂżQDQ-­ cially  support  those  practices.  Ron  Rubin Middlebury

9HUPRQW *DV SLSHOLQH SODQ Ă&#x20AC;DZHG RQ VHYHUDO IURQWV There  are  numerous  reasons  to  oppose  the  granting  of  a  permit  by  the  Public  Service  Board  to  Vermont  Gas  Systems  Inc.  in  its  attempt  to  build  a  gas  pipeline  to  International  Paper  in  Ticonderoga,  N.Y.  One  of  the  reasons  many  of  the  residents  of  Cornwall  have  coalesced  in  opposition  is  to  try  to  protect  the  sanctity  of  private  property.  This  should  be  of  concern  to  all  Vermonters.

Ethan  Allen  and  others  got  it  right  when  they  contributed  to  the  creation  of  the  Vermont  Constitution.  Chapter  One,  Article  One,  of  our  Constitution  states  â&#x20AC;&#x153;that  all  persons  are  born  equal-­ ly  free  and  independent  and  have  cer-­ tain  natural,  inherent  and  unalienable  rights  amongst  which  are  enjoying  and  defending  life  and  liberty  (and)  acquiring,  possessing  and  protecting  property.â&#x20AC;?  An  overwhelming  major-­ ity  of  the  residents  of  Cornwall  have  asked  our  selectboard  to  protect  our  property  from  Vermont  Gas.  We  have  said  no  to  the  request  by  Vermont  Gas  to  allow  a  pipeline  through  our  town.  We  are  trying  to  protect  our  property  right  as  prescribed  in  our  Constitution.

Mr.  A.  Donald  Gilbert,  who  is  chief  H[HFXWLYH RIÂżFHU DQG SUHVLGHQW RI Vermont  Gas  Systems,  said  in  March  2011  when  interviewed  by  the  Ad-­ dison  Independent  that  Vermont  Gas  would  not  try  to  force  the  project  on  any  community.  Mr.  Gilbert  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  come  if  people  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  us.â&#x20AC;?  He  should  honor  his  words.

On  April  14,  2006,  Gov.  Jim  Douglas  signed  into  law  Senate  Bill  246,  which  prohibits  the  use  of  eminent  domain  where  â&#x20AC;&#x153;the  taking  is  primarily  for  purpose  of  economic  development.â&#x20AC;?  The  Addison  Natural Â

â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  had  been  wanting  to  do  a  solar  installation  and  had  started  to  gather  some  equipment.   Once  I  realized  that  micro  inverters  are  the  way  to  go,  I  found  out  that  the  panels  I  had  would  not  work  with  them.   I  had  to  start  looking  around  again.   Then  I  realized  that  Bristol  Electronics,  the  company  Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  known  all  these  years  and  trust  with  my  electronic  needs,  was  also  in  the  solar  business.   They  came  down  and  checked  out  the  QHZ JDUDJH WKDW , KDG EXLOW VSHFLÂżFDOO\ WR SODFH VRODU SDQHOV RQ DQG gave  me  a  price  that  was  comparable  to  installing  it  myself.   In  no  time  at  all,  I  was  producing  electricity  and  have  not  paid  a  power  bill  for  the  last  six  months.                                                    Chris  Goodrich  â&#x20AC;&#x201C;  Bridport,  VT          Â

Gas  Project  (Vermont  Gas  Systems  has  cleverly  changed  the  name  to  the  Addison-­Rutland  Project  with  its  intense  barrage  of  public  rela-­ tions  advertisements)  has  promoted  economic  development  as  one  of  its  basic  tenets.  The  Vermont  Public  Service  board  is  not  required  to  fol-­ low  the  principle  stated  in  Senate  Bill  246.  Residents  of  Cornwall  would  ask  the  Public  Service  Board  to  honor  this  law  and  prevents  Vermont  Gas  Systems  from  using  eminent  domain  in  acquiring  properties  in  our  town.

MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  James  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Jimâ&#x20AC;?  C.  Borden,  85,  of  Middlebury,  and  formerly  of  South  Bend,  Ind.,  died  on  Dec.  1,  2013.

He  was  born  on  Oct.  14,  1928,  in  Indianapolis,  to  James  G.  and  Anna  (Hasewinkle)  Borden.  He  graduated  from  Adams  High  School  in  1947  in  South  Bend,  and  served  in  the  U.S.  Army  from  1951-­1953.  He  also  attended  the  School  of  the  American  Academy  of  Art  in  Chicago.

He  had  various  careers,  and  his  work  life  began  early.  His  parents  opened  a  restaurant  on  Portage  Avenue  in  South  Bend  when  he  was  12.  He  worked  there  from  the  start  and  later  took  over  management  of  the  restaurant  with  his  sister  Joan,  and,  all  told,  worked  at  the  J  &  A  Grill  from  its  opening  in  1941  until  1996.  The  restaurant  was  a  special  locale  for  many  regular  customers  who  also  HQMR\HG KLV ÂżQH SDLQWLQJV WKDW DOZD\V hung  on  the  walls  of  the  J  &  A. His  passion,  indeed,  was  always  art.  He  had  a  natural  talent  and  love  for  painting,  which  he  did  actively  up  until  the  week  before  he  died.  In  the  1960s  and  1970s,  he  was  a  sought-­ after  portraitist,  and  painted  many  of  South  Bends  local  leaders.  His  work  evolved  as  the  times  evolved,  and  later  he  painted  both  landscapes  and  more  abstract  work.  His  works  hang  in  many  private  homes  across  the  country,  and  several  of  his  pieces  are  in  the  permanent  collection  of Â

the  South  Bend  Museum  of  Art.  In  1976  his  portrait  series  of  Lincoln,  Lee,  Ulysses  S.  Grant,  Sitting  Bull  and  Custer  was  accepted  by  the  U.S.  Veterans  Administration  and  presented  at  the  White  House.  He  was  inducted  into  the  South  Bend  Hall  of  Fame  in  1994,  in  recognition  of  his  artistic  achievements.  His  commitment  to  art  extended  to  teaching.  He  taught  for  decades  at  the  Art  Center  (now  the  South  Bend  Museum  of  Art),  and  once  he  moved  to  Vermont  in  2008,  he  taught  weekly  classes  to  his  fellow  residents  at  the  Lodge  at  Otter  Creek  in  Middlebury.  He  always  wanted  to  help  other  aspir-­ ing  artists  and  did  so  over  the  years  in  a  thoughtful,  supportive,  and  inspi-­ rational  way.  He  received  many  acco-­ lades  throughout  his  life,  including  the  Carlotta  Banta  Artistic  Achievement  Award  from  the  South  Bend  Museum  of  Art,  which  he  received  in  October  of  this  year.

He  is  survived  by  his  daughter  and  son-­in-­law,  Gail  Borden  and  Jeffrey  Cason  of  Middlebury;͞  son  and  daughter-­in  law,  Jamie  and  Nicole  %RUGHQ RI 2VFHROD ,QG DQG ¿YH grandchildren.  He  was  predeceased  by  his  wife  of  47  years,  Lois  (Reed)  Borden,  in  2007,  and  his  sisters,  Betty  Walker  and  Joan  West.

Changes  planned  for  downtown  Bristol  intersection By  ZACH  DESPART BRISTOL  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  crossroad  at  the  heart  of  Bristol  village,  where  West,  South,  North  and  Main  streets  meet,  will  undergo  improvements  next  year  to  make  the  intersection  safer  for  motorists  and  pedestrians.

Derrick  Lyman  of  the  Vermont  Agency  of  Transportation,  Gregory  Edwards  of  Stantec  Design,  Carol  Wells  of  the  Bristol  Downtown  Community  Partnership  and  Claire  Tebbs  of  the  Addison  County  Regional  Planning  Commission  presented  information  on  the  changes  at  the  Bristol  selectboard  meeting  Dec.  2.

Lyman  said  the  construction  proj-­ ect  has  been  in  the  works  for  several  \HDUV VLQFH WKH VWDWH LGHQWLÂżHG LW DV a  crash-­prone  intersection.  He  said  LW LV RIWHQ GLIÂżFXOW IRU WKH HOGHUO\ RU disabled  people  to  make  it  across  the  unusually  wide  intersection,  which  currently  has  no  pedestrian  signals,  before  the  lights  change.  The  construction  will  address  these  concerns. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  work  will  include  upgrad-­ LQJ WKH WUDIÂżF VLJQDO FRQVWUXFWLQJ bulb  outs  on  each  corner,  upgrading  the  signal  for  pedestrian  access  and  adding  crosswalks  to  the  intersec-­ tion,â&#x20AC;?  Lyman  said.

Bristol  has  received  a  $50,000  downtown  transformation  grant  from  the  Agency  of  Transportation  that  requires  a  10  percent  match  from  the  town.  The  funds  will  be  used  in  SDUW WR SODQW Ă&#x20AC;RZHUV LQ WKH EXOE RXWV and  along  the  northwest  corner  of  the  intersection,  which  serves  as  the  entrance  to  the  town  green.  That  corner  will  be  shaved  back  to  allow  more  room  for  trucks  to  turn,  and  the  entranceway  will  be  remodeled. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  will  be  a  semi-­circle  entrance  with  benches,â&#x20AC;?  Wells  said.

The  funds  will  also  be  used  to  improve  facilities  on  the  green.  Currently,  there  are  three  or  four  electric  outlets  on  the  space,  which  the  town  has  to  pay  for  regardless  of  use.  The  meters  will  be  consolidated  to  one,  and  access  to  electricity  will  be  expanded  to  the  entire  green,  in  order  to  better  serve  events  and  festi-­ vals.  Benches  and  recycling  bins  will  be  added,  and  the  lighting  of  the  park  will  also  be  improved. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  to  overlight  it  and Â

Savannah lives in Pittsford with her parents, Suzanne and Richard Williams, and her brothers Maxwell, an eighth-grader, and Kieran, a fourth-grader. Her older brother, Brian, is studying microbiology at UVM. Savannah has been consistently named to the scholarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; roll. She has been inducted into both the National Society of High School Scholars and the National Honor Society.

She is currently taking AP European History and AP Literature.

Since seventh grade Savannah has participated in Otter Valleyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Walking Stick Theater Program. She has played soccer since seventh grade and played varsity for four years. She KDV EHHQ RQ WKH 0DUEOH 9DOOH\ Ă&#x20AC;UVW VWULQJ WHDP IRU WKH SDVW WZR \HDUV 7KLV \HDU VKH DOVR received a Coachâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Award. She is in Band and Senior Chorale.

Savannah has worked numerous side jobs, such as stacking wood, mowing lawns and babysitting. She has also worked for the Pittsford Recreation Department for a one-day camp at which elementary children went rock climbing and swimming. For the past two summers she has worked for a one-week soccer camp through the Brandon Recreation Department to help raise money for the Otter Valley girlsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; soccer program.

She has volunteered to help coach kids in soccer and basketball. And since at least middle school she has worked as an assistant coach for the Pittsford Recreation Departmentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Savannah  Lynch youth soccer program in the fall. For a few years there was also a spring program that she    O.V.U.H.S helped with. Also since seventh grade she has helped coach youth basketball, along with helping her younger brothersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; teams at games or practices.

When asked about her high school experience, Savannah said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned to work hard on learning whatever is asked of me. I have learned that I should ask lots of questions and I have developed a way that suits me best to study and learn.

If you work hard and dedicate time to your school work then everything should go smoothly.â&#x20AC;?

After high school, Savannah plans to attend college. At the moment her top choice is Rochester University. She doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what she wants to major in yet but the school has lots of options and a curriculum that she likes. Also, she could have the opportunity to continue to play soccer.

Teacher Michael Dwyer said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Savannah is an exuberant, enthusiastic and conscientious student who would never do anything haphazardly. She works hard but knows when to have fun.â&#x20AC;? %HKDYLRUDO VFLHQFH WHDFKHU -XG\ 'DUGHFN VDLG ´6DYDQQDK LV D VSLULWHG \RXQJ ZRPDQ Âł EULJKW HQHUJHWLF DQG SOD\IXO 6KH DSSURDFKHV ERWK WKH VRFFHU Ă&#x20AC;HOG and the theater stage with the same high enthusiasm.â&#x20AC;?

Mount Abraham Union High School proudly names Quinn Davis its Student of the Week. Quinn lives in New Haven and North Ferrisburgh. She has three siblings: Harper Davis, who is a senior at the University of Denver; Tinesha Davis, who is a freshman at Southern Vermont College; and Katlyn Davis, who is graduating from Country College of Morris in May. Quinn has maintained a place on the honor roll for every marking period in her high school career, and received academic excellence each year as well. Right now she is enrolled in AP Literature and Composition.

Quinn has a seasonal paid job bussing tables at the Old Lantern in Charlotte.

She began working there in the early summer.

Once the season begins in the later winter shooting begins to take up a lot of time, and the singing groups that she is involved in at school are also a fairly large time commitment, but she loves the people who are involved in both, and she sees both things as time very well spent.

When asked about her high school experience, Quinn says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Probably the hardest, and most important, lesson that I have learned during my high school career is that the quality of friends that you have far outweighs the importance of quantity. As long as you have a small group of people who you can truly connect with, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter how many people you consider your friends.â&#x20AC;?

After high school Quinn plans to attend college. As of right now she wants to major in English education and also acquire her ESL (English as a Second /DQJXDJH FHUWLĂ&#x20AC;FDWLRQ VR VKH FDQ ZRUN LQ LPPHUVLRQ W\SH SURJUDPV 6KH KRSHV WR EH DEOH WR WHDFK LQ KLJK VFKRRO FODVVURRPV Math teacher Justin Bouvier says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Quinn is a kind and caring individual who is passionate about her education. She shares her well thought out insights on topics being discussed in a respectful manner, even when she may disagree. She is a natural born leader who uses her innate abilities to foster a positive and engaged learning environment in any class. Quinn brings a light to the room when she enters allowing others to bask in the glory, which is Quinn.â&#x20AC;?

The Mount Abe community congratulates Quinn on her accomplishments and wishes her the best in the future.

Tiger  penalties  help  Raiders  earn  4-­0  shutout  By  ANDY  KIRKALDY MIDDLEBURY  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Visiting  Rut-­ land  on  Saturday  defeated  the  Mid-­ dlebury  Union  High  School  boysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  hockey  team,  4-­0,  in  the  Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  home  RSHQHU WDNLQJ DGYDQWDJH RI ÂżYH 7L-­ ger  penalties  to  score  two  power-­ play  goals  and,  in  the  eyes  of  MUHS  Coach  Derek  Bartlett,  wearing  down  his  team  by  forcing  them  to  play  shorthanded  so  often.  ³:H MXVW ÂŤ FDQÂśW JHW ÂżYH SHQDO-­ ties  here,  six  penalties  last  game.  We  canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  do  that  and  expect  to  win  games,â&#x20AC;?  Bartlett  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  affected  XV GHÂżQLWHO\ LQ WKH WKLUG SHULRG DQG maybe  halfway  through  the  second.  Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  got  to  stay  out  of  the  box  so  we  have  legs.  We  ran  out  of  gas.â&#x20AC;?

While  the  Division  I  Raiders  im-­ proved  to  2-­0,  the  Tigers  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  who  moved  back  to  D-­II  this  winter  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  fell  to  1-­1.  They  were  coming  off  a  RSHQLQJ ZLQ DW 0RXQW 0DQVÂżHOG on  Wednesday.  The  Tigers  outshot  the  Cougars,  25-­13,  but  needed  Rio  McCartyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  tie-­breaking  goal  midway  through  the  third  period  to  secure  the  victory.  Keenan  Bartlett  set  up  that  score,  DQG DOVR VFRUHG D ÂżUVW SHULRG JRDO from  McCarty  and  Tyler  Crown-­ ingshield.  Devin  Dwire,  from  Nick  Audet,  also  tallied  for  the  Tigers  in  WKH ÂżUVW SHULRG DV WKH\ ZHQW XS before  MMU  scored  twice  in  the  sec-­ ond.  Goalie  Sawyer  Ryan  made  11  saves  for  MUHS  in  that  game.

Even  though  the  result  was  not  as  good  on  Saturday,  Bartlett  said  the  Tigers  played  harder  against  a  better  team.  Rutland  only  outshot  MUHS,  21-­16. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  thought  our  level  of  compete  was  better.  We  played  with  much  more  in-­ tensity.  At  times  I  thought  our  puck  movement  was  pretty  sharp,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Up  until  about  halfway  through  the  second,  a  2-­0  game,  we  were  still  in  WKH ÂżJKW ´ But  the  Tigers  took  back-­to-­back  penalties  late  in  the  second  period,  and  allowed  a  backbreaking  power  play  goal  created  by  the  Raidersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  most  dangerous  forwards,  Max  Ma-­ jor  (goal  and  two  assists)  and  Jordan  Godfrey  (two  goals,  assist).  Major  skated  into  the  left-­wing  circle  and  fed  an  open  Godfrey  cutting  toward  the  far  post  for  the  tip-­in  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  with  four  seconds  left  in  the  period,  just  after  the  Tigers  had  survived  being  two  men  down.  ³:H NLOOHG D ÂżYH RQ WKUHH ZKLFK was  awesome,â&#x20AC;?  Bartlett  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;But  with  four  seconds,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  just  a  matter  of  awareness  â&#x20AC;Ś  A  kid  comes  down  the  back  side  and  heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  wide  open.â&#x20AC;?

Ryan  did  well  to  keep  Rutland  off  WKH ERDUG HDUO\ LQ WKH ÂżUVW JORYLQJ shots  from  Major  in  the  slot  and  Dan  Eugair  from  the  right  wing  circle.  But  at  7:25,  Godfrey  one-­timed  a  puck  from  the  left-­wing  circle  into  the  far  corner  to  make  it  1-­0.  Tiger  Justin  Stone  apparently Â

made  it  1-­1  just  six  seconds  later  ZLWK D VLPLODU VKRW EXW WKH RIÂżFLDOV conferred  and  ruled  the  play  offside.  Soon  after  that,  Rutland  went  on  the  power  play,  and  at  8:24  Skyler  La-­ Ferriere  netted  a  Major  rebound  to  make  it  2-­0.  At  9:56  the  Raiders  got  another  power  play,  but  the  best  chance  on  either  side  was  Stoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  shorthanded  bid  from  the  high  slot.  The  Tigers  applied  pressure  later  in  the  period,  and  Raider  goalie  Dean  Abatiell  (16  saves)  denied  Bartlett  from  the  slot  and  defender  Nathan  Lalonde  from  the  left  point.

Ryan  (17  saves)  did  well  early  in  the  second,  stopping  Major  and  God-­ frey  on  a  power  play,  and  after  that  a  Major  wraparound  and  Ben  Starer  on  the  rebound.  The  Tigers  then  came  alive,  with  the  group  of  Dwire,  Nathan  Audet  and  Stone  buzzing  the  net  and  forc-­ ing  Abatiell  to  make  two  close-­range  saves  and  drawing  a  penalty  at  7:12,  which  unfortunately  proved  unpro-­ ductive.

Then  came  the  critical  late  second-­ period  penalties,  and  the  game  got  out  of  reach.  The  Tigers  did  generate  chances  in  the  third,  including  a  nice  set-­up  of  Crowningshield  by  McCarty  that  was  GHĂ&#x20AC;HFWHG KLJK D .HYLQ *DOHQNDPS backhander  that  was  saved,  and  a  Crowningshield  rebound  bid  of  a  Stone  shot  that  missed  just  wide  left. Â

Major  walked  out  of  the  right-­ wing  corner  and  stuffed  a  shot  home  at  3:50  to  make  it  4-­0,  but  later  in  the  period  was  frustrated  twice  by  the  strong  defense  of  Jordan  Stearns.  Bartlett  said  the  Tigers  played  better  than  the  score  might  indicate,  while  the  teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  two-­forward,  three-­ back  system  looks  promising,  but Â

that  they  have  to  learn  from  their  mistakes.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  shots  were  21-­16  for  the  game  and  we  came  out  with  a  4-­0  loss,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  a  little  frustrating  in  that  sense,  but  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  got  to  play  smarter  for  sure,  more  disciplined.â&#x20AC;?

Touchy-­feely  world  of  whiskers By  LI  SHEN Of  the  many  questions  one  is  left  with  after  listening  to  the  nursery  rhyme  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Three  Blind  Mice,â&#x20AC;?  none  is  more  vexing  than  how  three  blind  rodents  were  able  to  chase  any-­ thing,  let  alone  a  farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  wife.  As  the  three  mice  in  question  died  in  1805,  weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll  probably  never  know  the  full  answer.  There  are  VRPH FOXHV LQ WKH VFLHQWLÂżF UHFRUG though.  The  fact  is,  mice  and  other  nocturnal  rodents  can  take  in  so-­ phisticated  three-­dimensional  in-­ formation  about  their  surroundings  without  using  their  eyes.

Rodent  eyes  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  function  like  our  eyes.  Ours  are  on  the  front  of  our  head  and  we  see  in  stereo;Íž  their  eyes  are  on  the  side  of  their  head  DQG WKHLU ÂżHOG RI YLVLRQ GRHVQÂśW overlap.  Our  eyes  always  move  to-­ gether;Íž  a  rodentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  eyes  can  move  in  opposite  directions.  If  a  rat  points  its  snout  downward,  its  eyes  look  up,  rather  than  where  its  nose  is  pointing.  If  its  head  tilts  down  to  the  right,  the  right  eye  looks  up  while  the  left  eye  looks  down.   There  is  a  purpose  to  these  odd  movements  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  to  keep  the  space  above  in  view  at  all  times.  To  a  rodent,  constant  scan-­ ning  overhead  for  birds  of  prey  is  more  important  for  survival  than  clearly  seeing  the  path  ahead.

So  how  do  rats  sense  whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  in  front  of  their  noses?  Instead  of  relying  on  sight,  they  pass  their  whiskers  over  all  surfaces  repeat-­ edly  from  different  angles  to  get  three-­dimensional  images  of  their  surroundings.  This  process,  called  â&#x20AC;&#x153;whisking,â&#x20AC;?  occurs  constantly  and  rapidly  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  up  to  12  times  per  sec-­ ond,  among  the  fastest  movements  measured  in  mammals.  Each  whis-­ ker  has  its  own  muscle  and  can  move  independently.  There  are  also  muscle  arrays  that  move  all  the  whiskers  together.  If  you  were  to  examine  a  ratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  face,  you  would  see  that  it  has  two  different  varieties  of  facial  hair:  long  stiff  whiskers  that  stick  out  around  the  snout  and  above Â

The

WKH H\HV DQG VKRUWHU ÂżQHU ZKLV-­ kers  below  the  nostrils  that  point  down.  The  whiskers  are  arranged  LQ D GHÂżQHG JULG SDWWHUQ ,I \RX could  peer  into  the  ratâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  head,  you  would  discover  that  each  whisker  is  connected  to  a  discrete  bundle  of  brain  cells.  These  bundles  are  arranged  in  exactly  the  same  grid  pattern  as  the  whis-­ kers  to  which  they  are  connected.  This  or-­ ganization  of  sensors  provides  the  rat  with  a  detailed  â&#x20AC;&#x153;snapshotâ&#x20AC;?  of  the  space  in  front  of  it.

Whiskers  themselves  are  not  liv-­ ing  tissue.  Their  exquisite  sensitiv-­ ity  lies  at  the  base,  in  the  follicle  where  the  whisker  sprouts  from  the  skin.  When  a  whisker  touches  a  surface,  it  bends.  The  tension  from  bending  is  sensed  by  nerves  in  the  follicle  that  send  a  signal  to  the  brain.  While  the  bending  of  whiskers  transmits  spatial  information,  the  sensitivity  of  whiskers  to  vibration  allows  the  rat  to  feel  differences  in  texture  with  astonishing  accuracy.  Whiskers  are  far  more  sensitive  than  WKH KXPDQ ÂżQJHUWLS ² IRU LQVWDQFH a  rat  can  tell  the  difference  between  a  totally  smooth  surface  and  one  scored  with  microscopic  grooves  30  microns  deep  (a  micron  being  one  thousandth  of  a  millimeter).  Different  whiskers  resonate  with Â

Local photographerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s new book to benefit historical society BRIDPORT  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  What  happens  when  an  English-­born,  Long  Island  housewife  moves  her  family  to  ru-­ ral  Bridport,  Vt.,  in  the  early  1960s  to  run  a  country  store? â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Red  Brick  Pantry,â&#x20AC;?  a  new  book  by  Margaret  (Rother)  Nocca,  tells  the  story  of  her  and  her  family  as  they  lived  it  in  Bridport,  just  a  few  feet  off   Route  22A.  Proceeds  from  the  sale  of  this  slim  volume, Â

whimsically  illustrated  by  the  au-­ WKRU EHQH¿W WKH %ULGSRUW +LVWRULFDO Society.

The  bookâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  title  is  a  reference  to  the  building  that  was  the  country  store  that  still  stands  today  near  the  1700s-­era  house  the  family  lived  in,  QRZ WKH KRPH RI WKH %ULGSRUW +LV-­ torical  Society.

For  those  who  can  remember  life  in  the  early  â&#x20AC;&#x2122;60s,  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Red  Brick Â

Nocca,  who  ran  the  store  with  her  husband  Frank  Rother,  went  on  to  establish  her  own  photography  business  in  Middlebury,  the  Rother  Studio  of  Photography,  later  known  as  Margaret  R.  Photography.  She  was  president,  secretary  and  news-­ letter  editor  for  Vermont  Profes-­ sional  Photographers.  Later  she  EHFDPH WKH ÂżUVW ZRPDQ SUHVLGHQW of  the  Professional  Photographers Â

While  many  people  his  age  are  en-­ joying  retirement,  Squier  is  having  too  much  fun  to  slow  down.  He  goes  to  work  every  day  at  WDEV,  which  was  co-­founded  by  his  father,  and  still  provides  irreverent  commentary  on  the  world  of  sports  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  and  some-­ times  politics  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  each  noon  and  late  afternoon. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  a  station  where  Vermonters  have  a  conversation  among  them-­ selves.  The  connection  between  the  station  and  the  listeners  is  legend-­ ary,â&#x20AC;?  Archangelo  said.

Squier  has  been  honored  with  nu-­ merous  awards,  been  inducted  into  a  handful  of  Halls  of  Fame  and  was  named  the  2007  Citizen  of  the  Year  by  the  Vermont  Chamber  of  Com-­ merce.  The  Waterbury  native  is  a  graduate  of  Boston  University  and  lives  in  Stowe  with  his  wife  Eliza-­ beth.  He  is  active  in  various  groups,  including  as  a  past  chairman  of  the  Vermont  Symphony  Orchestra.
