Group aims to control Pittsford growth Officials of Pittsford Community Corp. announced the signing of a land purchase agreement to acquire the 18th century Forrest farm historic building, barns and surrounding 14 acres.

The property will provide Pittsford with a large village green and a village center.

Pittsford was one of the original Hampshire Grants towns which marked the birth of Vermont in 1761.

The property is located near the corner of U.S. Route 7 and Elm Street and is in what most locals would currently refer to as the Pittsford Village Center.

It is also in a designated and state-approved socalled Village Center Area which provides certain tax and other financial benefits to certain types of new businesses.

‘Wild, wild horses’ for sale Rutland horse adoption, June 12-13

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Popular rock song lyrics say that “wild, wild horses couldn’t drag me away...”, but in the case if U.S. BLM public affairs specialist Martha Malik, wild horses and wild burros are indeed drag-

ging her away—from her Milwaukee, Wis. office to the Vermont State Fairgrounds in Rutland, June 12-13.

During the upcoming weekend, Malik will help coordinate the U.S. Bureau of Land Management’s Wild Horse and Burro Adoption event at the fairgrounds located at 125 S. Main St. (Route 7), just south of downtown Rutland.

It is the first big U.S. government horse sale in Vermont in more than decade.

Malik coordinates wild mustang and burro adoptions from the BLM Milwaukee Field Office. All horses and burros come from U.S. states west of the Mississippi River.

We often heard of the “ desire for more sidewalks but where would they go to? Now, we will have a place for sidewalks to go.

”

— Thor Konwin “It helps to prevent sprawl and preserve our rural countryside,” said Baird Morgan, president and a founder of the corporation. “We are not talking about a modern shopping mall or strip center but a historic and charming Vermont village center. The area is also in a state and federal recognized historic district which will protect and insure that the local history and heritage of the area be sustained and at the same time provide certain financial benefits for appropriate building restorations.”

Morgan noted that the project will have design standards in keeping with Pittsford’s heritage and architecture.

“When we started the PCC nearly 12 years ago, we intended on filling the void between what a small town government could afford to do with what needed to be done by supplying the volunteer efforts of local citizens,” he said. “We have been talking about a significant village green and a true Vermont village center since the very beginning and now it is happening”.

According to Pittsford resident and antiques dealer Thor Konwin, “There was no room for expansion while the immediate area is home to the popular Kamuda’s Country Store and Deli, the Pittsford Post Office, the historic Maclure Library and the Hill Top Tavern—there was no room for additional businesses and parking was very limited.”

Konwin said that as a member of the Planning Commission working on a new five-year town plan, comments and suggestions were solicited during a dozen or more meetings with local

The mission of the Crowley Road Race is to educate and promote youth and adult fitness and to fight cardiovascular disease, the prime killer of Americans.

The Annual Crowley Brothers’ 10K Road Race, Vermont State Championship, is the best and oldest 10K in New England. June 13-14 marks the popular Rutland-area Crowley events this year. Other race day events are the 10K relay, 5K, 5K fitness walk, 5K corporate challenge, the Kids’ Downtown Mile Fun Run, and the on-site health fair.

This year, with the support from the Rutland County community, various sponsors, and the Rutland Regional Chamber of Commerce, there are race weekend events designed for the athlete on all levels and to attract spectators and visitors.

The weekend kicks-off on Saturday, June 13, with the annual Crowley Brothers’ Sport and Fitness Expo (10 a.m.-3:30 p.m.) to

be held at the Rutland Middle School Keefe Gym on Library Avenue.

Sunday, June 14, is the main event of the certified RRCA 10K and 5K road races and includes the 10K re-lay, the 5K fitness walk, 5K Corporate Challenge Walk, and the annual Kids’ Downtown Mile Run. All races start at 8 a.m.

Running in the 10K, for the second consecutive year, is one of America’s most celebrated runners, Bill Rodgers. Also attending is Joan Benoit Samuelson, the first woman to ever win an Olympic gold medal in the first woman’s Olympic Marathon; she will also be running the 10K. TheKids’ Downtown Mile Run is slated to be bigger than past years events.

Horses From page 1 The BLM will offer approximately 60 wild horses—often called wild mustangs—ranging from yearlings to 5 year olds, along with a few burros, to potential adopters at the fairgrounds. You can adopt your own wild horse or burro in Vermont for a minimal fee—$125 for the first animal and $25 for additional animals.

“We’re hoping for a good turnout,” said Malik. “We’ve had mixed results with recent adoptions due to the bad economy. I know that Vermont is a horse-loving state, so we hope for a lot of support.”

Malik said just a few years ago wild horse sales were brisk but now there’s a slump in the wild horse market as people are cutting back on personal luxuries such as large pets. Sadly, large critters such as horses, are the first to go to generate cash flow.

“All our horses are disease and worm free,” she said.

“Every animal is inspected by a vet with a blood test—they are in good health. This is an incredible deal for a loving family or individual.”

Many of the BLM’s wild horses are gentle, with some prior human contact, while others fit the true definition of wild mustang.

Would-be adopters, buy the horses and burros on a first come, first-served basis; they must demonstrate responsible ownership.

Adopters must plan on bringing a stock trailer and they must show BLM agents their corral plans which must include a specific-sized corral for adult animals (age 3 and older) as well as a shelter.

“The BLM manages the nation’s public lands for multiple uses, in accordance with the 1976 Federal Land Policy and Management Act,” said BLM-Eastern States Director Juan Palma. “BLM manages wild horses and burros as part of this multiple-use mandate.

“While the adoption process is simple and straightforward, anyone considering adoption of a wild horse or burro should remember that the animals are wild and require gentling and training,” Palma said.

According to Malik, prospective adopters must have sturdy corrals that are 20’ x 20’ (or larger), at least 6 feet high for an adult horse and at least 5 feet high for burros and horses younger than 18 months, and have a shelter directly attached to the corral. Adopters must provide the stock-type, step up trailer—ramps and side-by-side two-horse type trailers are not allowed.

Horse owners won’t own the animals, out right, until the end of a one-year adoption-grace period. Then, their corral will be inspected by a BLM agent. If all things pass inspection, the animal will be fully owned by the adopters.

The Saturday adoption will be on a first come first served

David Pidgeon: all fired up 37800

Give Us Your Destination List your benefits, memorials, meet and greets, rides, fundraisers, day trips, weekends, group meets, bike weeks, or am-jams, any fun on two wheels, free.

Successful gunshop marks 50th year Businessman David E. Pidgeon, owner of Pidgeons Gun Shop and Gunsmithing located on Route 7 in New Haven, Vt., is still pinching himself—he can’t believe he’s been in business for a half-a-century this month.

In the 50 years since he became Vermont’s premiere gun dealer and gunsmith, Pidgeon, “the Gun Doctor”, estimates he’s repaired over 50,000 weapons locally. And up until the 1990s, he even conducted exotic hunting safaris to Mexico, South America and Canada. His biggest customer base come from Addison, Rutland and Chittenden counties in Vermont, but there are others who visit from as far away as New Mexico.

The Bridport native started his business in June 1959 as a means to supplement his income in dairy farming. His parents, French-Canadian farmers Theodore and Helen Pidgeon, were barely paying the bills during a depression in the dairy business—a situation not unlike today’s.

“I simply had to earn more money on the side,” Pidgeon said. “My friends, Cary Marshall, and his brother George Marshall who used to own the Marshall John Deere dealership (now Hendy Brothers), helped me get this business off the ground. I started out with custom reloading and repairing, primarily of hunting rifles and handguns; I branched out from there.”

Pidgeon said his business started at a good time, just when Addison County lost its premiere gunsmith, J. Bushnell Smith of Weybridge.

“Smith died in a tragic house fire in 1958,” he said, “so there was a real need for this type of business.”

The gun shop first opened at what is now Misty Knoll Farm in New Haven.

After struggling with the dairy opera-

tion, Pidegon finally auctioned off the family farm in 1986; in 1989 he built a new house with adjoining shop at the current Route 7 location.

Pidgeon has seen a lot of changes in the business since the 1950s. Since 1968, gun control laws have negatively affected the industry, however, ironically, more people than ever are buying guns and stockpiling ammunition—including a big increase in female gunownership and safety training.

“We didn’t need a license until 1968, the year of the King and Kennedy murders,” said Pidgeon, “and there was no background check until that time. If I knew the customer there was no problem—no forms, no federal paperwork to fill out.”

Ah, the good old days. Since 1968, lawmakers and special interest groups have tried to chip away at the U.S. Second Amendment with mixed results. In some respects, as Pidgeon sees it, gun control efforts have ended up with more citizens armed.

“I never got into the assault weapons end of it,” Pidgeon said, “I’m not happy with the importation of these weapons; it has done nothing for the American worker.”

Perhaps Pidgeon’s luckiest business break came in the 1970s when he linked up with Montana wheat farmer, turned gun dealer, Joe DeSaye of J&G Sales fame.

Finding a loophole in Smith & Wesson’s now defunct regional gun distribution plan, Pidgeon would buy S&W firearms for DeSaye to help build up what has since gone on to become the 500-pound gorilla of Internet gun dealers, J&G Sales.com. For a 15-year period, Pidgeon raked in $250,000 in annual sales with DeSaye “partnership” until S&W changed its ways during the mid 1980s.

Pidgeon’s business has always focused on the hunter and gun hobbyist.

But occasionally, he has benefited from pop cultural eruptions such as Holly-

Pittsford From page 1 citizens and representatives from all aspects of social, business, safety, clergy and government organizations in Pittsford.

“Often the lack of a more vibrant village center appeared to be holding up improvements and at the same time encouraging sprawl,” he said. “Several new businesses had opened along the highway during the last few years and all closed within a short time.”

Konwin suggested that “if those same venues were in a village center they would have had a better chance for success by utilizing common parking and providing more customer convenience. A customer could resolve several errands with only one stop and at the same time perhaps meet with their neighbors and catch up on the local news. We often heard of the desire for more sidewalks but where would they go to? Now, we will have a place for sidewalks to go.”

Morgan said the PCC will be holding townwide planning events to develop a master plan; it will also work with several state and federal agencies to help design and to provide the necessary financing required.

“There will also be the need for other non-profits and local fund raising events to help assist in the required funding,” Morgan said. “Anticipated anchors for the project include affordable housing through the improvements on the

wood movie fads. Starting in 1971, Clint Eastwood’s “Dirty Harry” film series spurred a new generation to firearms— big caliber handguns. The fictional Dirty Harry .357 S&W Magnum became the thing to pack. But an increase in violent crime in the 1970s was also spurring customers to take action regarding their own defense—just as America’s ubiquitous liberal judges, who seemed to relish making laws from the bench, appeared to be siding with criminals and not the victims.

“Today there’s a lot of interest in collecting,” Pidgeon said. “For example, pre-1964 Winchesters are very valuable.

Also, speciality items and limited editions are popular. And in this economy, we’re seeing more young people selling their heirloom guns for needed cash.”

Pidgeon is all fired up about the future. While he sees some troubling trends in the business, he maintains a bouyant level of optimism. And while he’s concerned about anti-gun groups— even in Vermont—he believes most Americans will understand the importance of the Second Amendment, written in 1791—the amendment protecting our right to keep and bear arms from infringement by the federal government.

A few years ago, Pidgeon started a website— www.pidgeonsgunshop.com—which now enjoys a brisk cyber trade with nearly 65,000 hits per month.

“I am amazed at how well known I am in this business,” Pidgeon said.

“Chris Hodgson of Hodgson Powder Company in Kansas recently called me to congratulate me on my 50th business anniversary. I guess I’m a rare breed.”

Pidgeon is indeed a rare breed—the average lifespan of typical gunshop is only two years.

Pair Coupons with Rock-Bottom Sales

A

rmed with the knowledge that every item in the grocery store is on sale at its lowest price just once in a 12week time span, planning your shopping trips around what is on sale versus what you need in a particular week is the next step to saving money on groceries.

For example, boneless, skinless chicken breasts are a perfect example of a priceBy Jill Cataldo volatile item. Last week at my grocery store, chicken breasts were on sale for $1.79/pound.

This week, they’re $5.29/pound. While I may not plan to make a meal with chicken breasts this week, I know that because they were at their low price point last week, it will be about 3 months before I see them at that great price again.

Last week, I bought enough chicken to last my family until they’re offered again at a low price.

But I didn’t pay $1.79/pound for my chicken. I paid $1.29/pound. I used a 50-cent coupon for each package I purchased, but the coupons I used weren’t offered in this week’s paper. The coupons I used were several months old – not expired, just older than this current week.

Now, if you currently use coupons, let me guess how you do it: Your Sunday newspaper arrives. You page through the coupon inserts, clipping out the items you want to buy this week … and you throw the insert away. But this is the No. 1 mistake most coupon users make.

Why is this a mistake? Grocery stores’ best sales rarely coincide with the week coupons for these items appear in the newspaper. The grocery store knows weeks in advance what coupons are coming out in the paper. They also know that most people who use coupons will cut them and use them the same week that they came in the newspaper. So, the grocery store will typically put some of the coupon products on sale – just not at their lowest price points. Shoppers will think they’re getting a deal, but the store has enticed you into purchasing at a higher price – even with your coupon. If you use your coupons when the chicken is on sale for $3.29/pound, you won’t have them anymore when the chicken’s price drops below the $2.00/pound mark Until next week, I’ll leave you with an exciting example of another reason you should save your coupons. Pairing a $1 coupon with a $1 sale results in free items! Now, you may be thinking, “Really? Is it that easy?” You be the judge.

This week, pasta, cartons of lemonade, instant potatoes and toothbrushes were on sale at my store for $1 each. I redeemed a $1 coupon for each of those items, so they were free to me.

But in each case, the coupons I used came from inserts published weeks ago; a shopper wouldn’t find them in the current week’s inserts. Shoppers who clip coupons the old-fashioned way might not have needed a toothbrush three months ago, when the $1-off coupon ran in the paper. So, they threw the insert away. Super-Couponers keep their inserts. They understand that the coupons inside may provide them with the chance to land a free item in the future.

Keeping debt profitable I

n a line of investigation which runs backward from contemporary credit-card regulation to the Constitutional rights-of-contract, to the Fourteenth Amendment curtailing some of those rights to Depression-era milk price regulation, to Progressive-era grain-elevator regulation, I stumbled again—as befits an amateur in history and economics—on a couple of U.S. Supreme Court cases which I had earlier found interesting for wholly different reasons.

One is the 1877 Munn v. Illinois dispute, in which politics made strange bed-fellows, as the National Grange farmer organization teamed up with the then-new Progressive movement (which claimed that high-intellect technical experts like them should run things, not a bunch of stupid voters) to demand government regulation of grain-elevator crop-storage prices.

They got what they wanted, establishing the principle that some aspects of private business are too important to be entrusted to private businessmen.

The other is the 1933 Nebbia v. New York dispute, in which State government, fearing that low milk prices would drive too many dairymen out of business and thus generate higher milk prices for the then-new urbanite-majority of voters, established minimum retail milk prices.

These were then resisted as “too high” by exactly the consumers and retailers they were designed to protect.

SCOTUS approved the price-fixing at 9 cents per quart (which would translate, inflation-adjusted, to $5.98 per gallon today) establishing the practical principle that government regulation must include enough built-in supplier profit margin to keep them from quitting. It’s that same principle which requires state public service departments to guarantee public utilities a return-on-investment in the 10-to-12 percent range when setting retail ratepayer costs.

Dairymen have no such guaranteed ROI, but that’s another story entirely.

Given this history, you can see why government has dealt with the range of consumer-despised practices of the credit-card industry as superficially as it has.

Once upon a time, the practical consumer response to business practices they didn’t like was to take their trade elsewhere, no government involvement expected, but that sort of libertarian politics has vanished. Now, consumers demand that government regulate, and so there are some new constraints on the industry—required delays in interest-rate changes, for example—which seek voter approval by placating consumer angst while keeping the industry quietly and comfortably profitable.

Consumers don’t like interest rates in the high teens and beyond, but the industry argues (no proof offered) that they’re needed to balance losses from defaulters, so that, as with the homemortgage industry, the good risks end up subsidizing the poor risks. We know that banking is profitable –nearly a 20 percent return on sales, more than twice the 8 percent for the oil-and-gas industry, marginally less than the 22 percent for Big Pharma—but we aren’t allowed to see numbers for Big Plastic specifically. We can reasonably expect that government won’t convert the credit-card industry into a regulated public utility –after all, no one really “needs” a charge card—and cut the lenders’ rates to, say, a CD return of 3 percent; and we can reasonably expect that government won’t set minimum prices for consumer credit as it has set them for milk in various places, or prescribed prices per unit as it has set them for power and communications of various types.

In a parallel universe, government might have chosen to reduce and not increase credit-card-industry regulation to encourage competition, just as the Grange, starting in the 1880’s, might have chosen to compete, price-wise, with the grain elevators, instead of suing them. Then, if one card issuer got too abusive of its customers, new credit-issuers would spring up, and consumers could take their borrowing elsewhere, and competition would regulate for servicequality in a cost-effective way that government never can.

Actually, in this universe, the Grange did just that, albeit in a half-hearted way. There’s still a handful of grain storage facilities, with the Grange logo clearly painted on each of them, here and there in farm country. And the Grange, historically, urged its members to invest in private, onfarm storage, so as to gain better control over farm-gate commodity prices. But it did so far less aggressively than the National Farmers Organization; which, I suggest, explains why the NFO is today a far more serious and effective force for farm prosperity than the Grange.

Maybe the loudly complaining, forever lobbying, and regulation-demanding Consumer Federation of America ought to get into the credit-card business, to show those rascally bank-based lenders how it should ideally be done?

‘Mars Hoax’ e-mail makes the rounds—yet again!

S

kywatchers beware: A bogus e-mail message about the approach of the Red Planet Mars is making the rounds of the Internet—yet again.

This phony message claims that Mars will make a close approach of Earth and be as large as the full Moon this summer. Wrong!

This summer, don’t expect the Red Planet to be anything but what it is normally—very small and faint to the naked eye.

According to Spaceweather.com, “The ‘Mars Hoax’ email first appeared in 2003. It seems to resurface every summer.On Aug. 27, 2003, Mars really did come historically close to Earth. But the e-mail’s claim that Mars would rival the Moon was grossly exaggerated. Every summer since 2003, the e-mail has staged a revival. It’s as wrong now as it was then.”

On the subject of Mars, a perceptive Champlain Valley Union High School student e-mailed me last week with a good question about the famous Mars Rock. He wants to know if claims of microfossils found within the rock are true.

Well, in 1996 NASA first announced the discovery of possible fossil nanomicrobes in the ALH 84001 meteorite (found in Antarctica); the ALH 84001 rock was blasted off Mars, by either an asteroid impact or a powerful volcanic eruption millions of years ago.

Since 1996, scientists have battled over NASA’s ALH 84001 findings; many researchers booed NASA and came down on the “con” side.

What looks like worm-like fossils, they said, are just too small for lifeforms. Yet, certain extremely ancient fossilized microbes have been found inside Earth rocks; these terrestrial fossils are small enough to resemble the tiny Mars rock remains.

But what would Martian life look like if it exists? Personally, I think it’s premature to dismiss NASA’s fossil-life claims regarding the ALH 84001 Mars meteorite. There’s a lot more we don’t know about Mars than actually know about the planet—it remains a mysterious world that has yet to be geologically sampled first hand. Imagine having only a few pieces of Earth and then concluding our planet’s entire geological and biological history from the fragments.

No matter, the jury’s still out about ALH 84001 as far as the scientific community is concerned. We’ll have to wait for a robotic Mars sample return mission to see if similar “fossils” are found inside Martian surface rocks.

Save June 20: This writer will be wearing his NASA Solar System Ambassador cap at the Civil Air Patrol (CAP) Open House at the Rutland Airport, 10 a.m.-3 p.m., on Saturday, June 20. CAP was founded in 1941 and is an auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force.

Bring the family and learn all about how CAP helps with search-and-rescue missions as well as homeland security.

Plus, see a small display about NASA’s proposed Mars ARES robot aircraft and pick up a free ARES paper airplane.

This event will be an ideal opportunity to learn about how to fly, too; come and meet FAA-certified instructors from Argyle Aviation, a new flight school at the Rutland Airport, and hear a talk about the FAA’s exciting new Sport-Pilot certificate.

This open house will also display several local aircraft including CAP’s mission plane and kitplanes built by members of the Experimental Aircraft Association’s Green Mountain Flyers chapter.

Like to meet and talk with all kinds of pilots—from jet pilots to recreational pilots? Well, here’s your chance. Plus parents and young people can learn about the nationally recignized CAP Cadet leadership program (for young boys and girls, ages 12-18). President Obama recently praised CAP cadets for their outstanding service to the nation.

Scenic flights over Vermont (for a fee) will also be available, weather permitting—finally, top off a day at the airport with grilled hamburgers and hot dogs prepared by the CAP cadets.

This event is free and should be a lot of fun—held rain or shine (if it rains we’ll be inside the CAP hangar). The airport is located off Route 7, south of Rutland City, in North Clarendon.

What’s in the sky: At 5 a.m. on Saturday, June 20, look to the east to observe a beautiful grouping of the slivered Moon plus three terrestrial planets—Mercury, Venus and Mars.

RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 5

Big band sound to “blow” in Castleton This Tuesday, June 16, the Castleton village green—located next to the Castleton Federated Church—will be swinging and rocking with tunes from the Big Band-era and today. Enerjazz, a large, new multi-talented assemblage of musical professionals, will blow into town at 7 p.m.

Enerjazz is big—a genuine big band consisting of 18 of some of the best jazz musicians in Vermont. Calling to mind a fabulous blend of Blood, Sweat and Tears, Chicago, Buddy Rich, Chase, the Tonight Show Band, and Maynard Ferguson, this big band entertains with

current pop songs of various styles including bebop, latin, rock, fusion, ballads, and funk.

The band brings to life songs and arrangements of memorable musical greats such as Duke Ellington, Count Basie; Glen Miller, Woody Herman, Benny Goodman, Maynard Ferguson, Buddy Rich, and even Doc Severinsen—just to name a few. They also bring back plenty of other songs, like “The Stripper”, “The Continental”, “Moonglow,” “Fascinating Rhythm”, and current tunes.

Enerjazz members include—trum-

pets: Pat Roberts, Dave McKenzie, Ken Cifone, and Greg Ellis. Saxophones: Peter Giancola, Harry Drum, Mike Lenox, Scott Lobdel, and Hank Vaughan.

Trombone: Bill Brislin, Paul Sutherland, Todd Jonz, and Glenn Giles. The rhythm section includes Kent Baker, Martha Welch, vocals, Ellen Sutherland, Don Goodman,and Rob Zollman.

The concert is free and open to the pubic; it performs rain or shine. Rain site is under the tent at Castleton State College. For further information, contact 271-2911.

JUST SAY NO—Gov. Jim Douglas visited Rutland last week to discuss—with members of the Rutland County Pro Business Coalition and the general public—his reasons for vetoing the overbloated state budget that, according to Douglas, will “tax” cash-strapped Vermonters. Douglas attended three meetings in Rutland; one meeting, held at South Station, had 120 voters in attendance. Douglas also signed into law S26 and S125—the so-called Son of Sam and sexting laws. The bills became law at a ceremony held at Rutland City Police Department.

T

hroughout the entire rehearsal period and into the first couple of performances I remained clueless as to whether Veronica gave a hoot about me. I felt she was definitely way beyond my reach/out of my league, which ironically made me act more relaxed around her. Being relaxed was a boon to my chances of Veronica ever finding me interesting and attractive. Had I thought for a second I might have a chance with her, I’d have blown it, like I’d done with so many girls, so many times before.

I threw a party at my house post second performance; partly because there was a gal I’d been hankering for for years that I wanted to invite. I thought if I invited her to the party she’d come to the play too. Over the past couple of years she and I had gone out a handful of times, and though nothing had started romantically, I felt strongly there was a very good chance somewhere along the line something might, especially if she came to the play and saw what good job I (thought I) was doing (Lenny in “Of Mice and Men”).

I had washed and proudly parked my bait, ah, my motorcycle, close to the stairs that led to my deck so when folks arrived at the party they’d have to pass it on their way to the front door. Clever, eh? I didn’t know if the girl I liked liked motorcycles, but by god, I’d been working this chick for a couple years, and if she showed up I wasn’t about to let her get away without presenting her with an opportunity to be struck by love over my 1340-cc of proofpositive-piston-powered virility.

She did show up, and three quarters of the way through the party she and a gaggle of gals had gathered on the deck and were looking at, chatting about, and giggling over my motorcycle. I spied em through the sliding glass door and made a beeline.

Long casual exhale: “Great night for a bike ride,” I understated to a horrific degree. Revisiting that line shivers my blood because I actually don’t like using the word bike when refereeing to a motorcycle, and I don’t much like riding at night. But I said it because I was working outside my comfort zone; I thought I had a chance with the girl I’d been working on for two years.

The girl didn’t respond. She, along with the three other girls in the gaggle, stood there, stiff, looking frightened.

It wasn’t as if I’d have bet the ranch on the girl agreeing to go for a ride that night, but come on, I’d cleaned the house, bought and prepared the food, sent the invitations, I’m the star of the play, the host of the party, one of the few single guys there, and not to mention (To me “not to mention” is one of those things we say and write that makes no sense, because if you are wanting not to mention it, you wouldn’t mention it, would you? Same with the road sign, Hidden Drive, if the drive is hidden, you don’t need the sign), I’m the owner of a cool as heck motorcycle, all of which I’m sure you’d agree are some serious creeds for girl getting; And what happened when I put it all together in a tidy little package? I whiffed.

Now if you’d been watching all that I’ve just described in a movie, you’d probably feel sorry for the guy playing the part of me. That is, until the sweet, pretty, unassuming, heroine enters the scene lower screen right and confidently says to the guy who is playing the part of me, “I’ll go.” If that happened, then you’d feel really good for the guy playing the part of me, wouldn’t you? Do you know, that is exactly what happened.

I’d worked two years to get the other girl and hadn’t worked at all to get Veronica, which just goes to show you … well, I actually, I, don’t know what it goes to show you, because there are no fail-safe rules or methods when it comes to making a girl like you. What I do know is, the time it took for my ears to register Veronica’s, “I’ll go,” was double the amount of time it took to forget the other girl and the entire two year effort I’d put into impressing her. Ha, I haven’t seen her since.

Now for the ride.

To be continued.

WEDNESDAY June 10, 2009

Play-off time in Rutland County

By Fred Pockette There is nothing more exciting in the world of sport than a single elimination tournament that determines a championship. Anything can happen. No matter how good, or bad your respective team is, anyone can beat anyone else on any given day. Favorites can get knocked off early, and under dogs can advance farther than anyone thought possible, or not.

The single elimination format is what Vermont high schools use to determine their state champions in all their sports. The playoffs for the spring sports season began on Tuesday, June 2nd, and as of Monday morning (this paper ’s deadline) each sport had completed their quarterfinal round, reducing each divisional field to just four teams.

Many Rutland County teams were in action last weekend competing for a spot in the state semifinals. Others were eliminated in the opening round, while a few did not even make the playoff field. Of those that did compete this weekend some survived to play on, while others were eliminated. Read on to see how our local teams fared in softball and baseball as well as boys and girls lacrosse.

Otters and Golden Horde Reach Semifinals The lone Rutland County representative in the Division-IV tournament are still alive and kicking. The 5th seeded West Rutland Golden Horde began the post season by destroying 12th seeded Long Trail 33-3 in the opening round (Wednesday, June 3rd) before shutting out Twinfield 4-0 in quarterfinal action last Saturday in Plainfield. Sara Walczuk tossed a four hit shutout for the victorious Horde, while Emily Sumner blasted a double for the big offensive hit. Twinfield finishes their season at 12-5.

In Division III the fifth seeded Poultney Blue Devils made an early exit, as they were upset in the opening round 4-0 by twelfth seeded Rivendale. The Blue Devils wind up 11-5 after the disappointing playoff loss.

Of the three Rutland County teams in the Division - II tournament only the top seeded Otter Valley Otters survived to reach the semifinals. Both the Fair Haven Slaters and Mill River Minutemen bowed out in the first round. The eleventh seeded Slaters fell to the sixth seeded Springfield Cosmos on Wednesday, June 3rd, to finish the year at 6-11. The Minutemen, who fully expected to reach the quarterfinals, were upset

at home on Tuesday, June 2nd 9-4 by the thirteenth seeded Cosmos. Mill River finishes their season with 12 wins and just 5 losses.

The top seeded Otters received an opening round buy, and then last Friday in Brandon rode a three run sixth inning to a 4-1 quarterfinal victory over the eighth seeded Randolph Ghosts. Senior Otter hurler allowed just one hit while striking out four to secure the complete game win. Randolph ended their year at 11-7.

In Division I the fifth Seeded Rutland Raiders opened up the tournament ith an 8-0 win over the Burlington Seahorses in Rutland on Wednesday, June 3rd. Katherine Cohen fired a twohit shutou with 10 strikeouts to secure the post season win for the Raiders. But unfortunately for them it would be their last.

Last Saturday in Swanton Danielle Magnant threw a solid two-hitter to lead the forth seeded Missisquoi Thunderbirds a 4-1 quarterfinal win over the fifth seeded Rutland Raiders. Megan Blongy and Samantha Tuepker had Rutland’s only hits, and they finish their season at 13-5.

Canes Upset Raiders in Quarterfinals The second seeded Rutland Raiders easily defeated the fifteenth seeded North Country Falcons 15-4 in the opening round (Tuesday, June 2 in Rutland) of the Division I playoffs, only to be upset last Friday in the quarterfinals10-7 by the seventh seeded Hartford Hurricanes. With the game tied 6-6 after six innings of play the Hurricanes scored four times in the top of the seventh to earn the win and secure themselves a spot in the semifinals. AJ Hamel had two hits and drove in another three while Ryan McGuire contributed a solo home run to the upset. Logan Scelza was the winning pitcher. Mark Comstock and Matt Merritt had two hits apiece for Rutand who end their season at 13-5 In Division II both the Otter Valley Otters and Fair Haven Slaters both survived one-run wins in the play downs and were still alive and competing in quarterfinal action last Friday. The tenth seeded Mill River Minutemen were eliminated in the opening round on Tuesday, June 2nd, losing to the seventh seeded Union-32 Raiders 9-1 to end their season at 8-9.

The third seeded Slaters were fortunate to be alive to host the sixth seeded Harwood Highlanders, narrowly escaping an upset bid by the Bellows Falls Terriers in the opening round.

In a scoreless tie Nathan Stannard singled home Jesse Maynard

in the bottom of the eighth inning to give Fair Haven a narrow 1-0 win over Bellows Falls.

Then on Friday in Fair Haven the Slaters scored five times in the fifth inning to avoid yet another upset and eliminate the sixth seeded Harwood Highlanders 5-3 in quarterfinal action.

Stannard and Jesse Maynard had run producing singles for the Slaters in the sixth. Fair Haven starter Dan Brown struggled in the first, giving up three runs but then found his game, and shut down Harwood down the rest of the way allowing his Slaters to come back and secure themselves a spot in the Division-II semifinals.

The same day in Milton the Otter Valley Otters were on the verge of pulling off back-to-back upsets when everything fell apart. After defeating the fifth seeded Randolph Ghosts 2-1 in the opening round (Tuesday, June 2 in Randolph) the twelfth seeded Otter Valley Otters led the fourth seeded Milton Yellow Jackets 12-7 going into the bottom of the seventh and needed just three outs to advance to the semifinals. But they wouldn’t get them. The hometown Yellow Jackets would score six runs, capped off by a three-run walk-off homerun by Alex Learned to avoid the upset, and eliminate the Otters with a 13-12 win.

Joey Massores hit a two run-homer and Jon Shaw added a solo shot for Otter Valley who finish their season dead even at 9-9.

In Division III the fourteenth seeded Poultney Blue Devils upset third seeded Enosburg by delivering them a 6-0 shutout in the opening round on Tuesday, June 2nd. That allowed them to advance to the quarterfinal game against the sixth seeded Green Mountain Chieftains last Friday, and it was there in Chester where the Devils ran out of magic. Falling behind 9-0 Poultney scored six times in the sixth, but couldn’t finish the comeback in the seventh, and were eliminated from the playoffs with a 9-6 loss. Scott Williams was 2-for-4 with two RBIs for Poultney, who wind the year up at 8-10.

In Division IV the third seeded Proctor Phantoms got a quarterfinal gift. Instead of playing the sixth seeded Danville Indians they got to host eleventh seeded Richford in last Friday’s quarterfinals. Why? Because, Richford who went 0-15 during the regular season got their first win of the year when they beat Danville 5-2 in the opening round of the playoffs. But the Phantoms, as expected, had little trouble with them. Chad Thornton and Ryan Carter led Proctor to an easy 16-4 win and a spot in the Division - IV semifinals. Carter drove in three runs, two on a homerun blast. Thorton registered three hits and like Carter drove in three as well. Proctor enters the semifinals at 11-6, while Richford ends their year with a 1-15 record.

Raider Girls Reach Semifinals Hannah Wright scored five goals last Friday in Rutland to lead her top seeded Raiders to an easy 18-5 quarterfinal win over the eighth seeded Mount Mansfield Cougars. Chelsea Temple (three goals,) Sara Lovett (two goals,) and Marisa Kiefaber (two goals) joined Wright in the multiple goal parade, while Ashley Boucher, Marissa Gfeller, Kate Kurchena, Grace Wright, Chelsea Monaco and Kayla DelBianco added single goals to complete the Raiders offensive onslaught. Rutland goalie Jessie Wilson made ten saves while working the net. The Raiders enter the semifinals riding an impressive 15-1 record.

The eleventh seeded Raiders boys squad wasn’t so fortunate, losing on Wednesday, June 3rd in the opening round, to the sixth seeded Bellows Falls Terriers 11-2, ending their year at 413.

RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 9

Conservation funding FHUHS Class of ‘74 To the Editor: Where are you? We’re having our 35th reunion of the Fair Haven Union High School Class of 1974 and we want you to come. We are looking for everyone that started, ended, or went a few months in between—if you were ever in the class of 1974 we are looking for you. Call Holly at 537-4775, Lynn at 468-5165, Julie at 265-4586 or Mary at 482-2484 with updated addresses of any classmates. We are planning a great weekend and we want you there Mary Pellegrino Fair Haven

Box of rocks To the Editor: To Vermont legislators: Robert P. George wrote: "Candor, far from being the enemy of civility, is one of its preconditions." Most in our legislature are well-intentioned yet ignorant, arrogant and delusional-like in their wants. Nothing short of the kind of economic pain that is coming will convince you—and them—otherwise. "The road to Hell is paved with good intentions."

Tom Licata Burlington

Toxic cocktail To the Editor: I thought Rutland Tribune readers might be interested in attending a very important public meeting on Monday, June 15, at 6 p.m., at the Mettawee Community School, located on Route 153 in West Pawlet, just south of Route 30. This meeting is the direct result of a recent incident—supposedly, a truck sprayed a cornfield, located directly across from the school, with an atrazine and metolachlor herbicide cocktail while the students were standing in front of the school and pledging allegiance to the U.S. flag.

Although banned in the European Union in 2004 because of its persistent groundwater contamination, atrazine is one of the most widely used herbicides in the U.S. with 76 million pounds of it applied each year—predominantly in the Midwest. Recent data shows that over 900 water systems throughout the Midwest are contaminated with atrazine.

Margaret Mary Moran-Davis West Pawlet

To the Editor: Our legislators have worked hard to develop a budget for Vermont in this difficult economic environment.

Gov. Douglas has threatened to veto this budget, bludgeoning on-going and future conservation programs in Vermont.

State support for conservation will be wiped out. It’s that simple. And $5 million in federal farmland support will also disappear.

Eliminating conservation is shortsighted and flies in the face of good business sense. People who visit Vermont have long been a major source of outside revenue for the state. They are drawn to Vermont’s pristine mountains and all that the mountains represent. It holds both for we who live hear and those who visit. Vermont is green mountains, the Green Mountains are Vermont.

Here in Marlboro, the conservation of Hogback Mountain is a project three years in the making and very near completion.

This effort may be destroyed if the governor succeeds in wiping out funding for the Vermont Housing and Conservation Board, which awarded us a substantial grant that was to be funded in FY 2010.

Hogback’s conservation plan includes permanent, open access for public, low-impact recreation and management of the habitat for the preservation of wildlife.

The far-sighted thinking that resulted in Yosemite, Yellowstone, the Grand Canyon and so many other well-known conserved areas, enjoyed by millions each year, cannot be allowed to wither here in Vermont.

Please let the governor know that you support conservation and urge our legislators to override the Governor ’s veto.
