Sen. Bernie Sanders Visits Springfield High School Story by Langdale Pike, Photo by Robert F. Smith At the invitation of a Springfield High School civics class, U.S. Sen. Bernard Sanders stopped by the high school to share some of his thoughts about government and democracy.

“If you don’t pay attention to government, that’s fine, you’re joining most Americans,” the senator said. “But if you do, you won’t wonder why the top 1 percent of Americans make more money than the bottom 50 percent. Your generation is facing more problems than any generation has faced for 70 years.”

Among them, Sanders said, was chronic unemployment.

“There are 27 million people who can’t find jobs, or find the kind of jobs they need,” Sanders said. “We are the only industrialized country that doesn’t guarantee health care for all its people. The national debt you’re going to inherit is $12 trillion, and we have two wars going on.”

Student questions covered a number of topics. One student wanted to know the state

of epilepsy research.

“An awful lot of money goes into the National Institutes of Health,” said Sanders, who added that he believed current health care legislation would eventually pay for itself.

Junior Alexis Locke asked about being able to afford UVM, her school of choice when 74 percent of freshmen come from out of state.

“We’re a small state,” Sanders said. “They argue that they can’t get enough funding to support in-state students.”

Later, Locke said she liked what she heard, particularly the National Health Corps. That’s a government program which forgives medical student debt in exchange for five years of service in underserved areas.

“I learned that if you get a job in the medical field that you can give back to the government,” she said. “I’m looking into radiology, which is definitely in the medical field, and I hope to go to UVM. I should be able to go if I can get a government grant.”

At right, Sen. Bernie Sanders answers questions at Springfield High School last week.

For the last several years, Keith Stern and Ed Wilson have driven to the Serve New England warehouse in northern Massachusetts to pick up the food for holiday basket distribution.

They arrive at the loading dock at 5:30 a.m. and get back to Springfield in time for the distribution. Without the volunteer efforts of Keith and Ed, holiday basket distribution would be nearly impossible.

These guys are our heroes and they do it without accepting any pay! We want to publicly thank them for their invaluable service.

Girl Scouts During school vacation six girls from a local Scout Troop came to the Family Center to work with our cook, Lynn Colson, in our kitchen.

They helped prepare the noonday meal, tried some new foods and learned all about what it takes to serve a meal to 50-60 people.

It was a great learning experience for the girls and a wonderful volunteer help for the Center. Both parties benefited from the experience and it was a great way for the young people to spend a vacation day.

Springfield Elks Help Middle School Students Enjoy Museum Experience Submitted by Mike Gunn of the Springfield Elks As a 6th, 7th, and 8th grade science and math teacher at Riverside Middle School, Tifin Calcagni is dedicated to providing engaging learning opportunities for her students.

Area Tobacco Retailers Not Selling to Kids Congratulations to tobacco retailers in the Greater Springfield area for having 100 percent on tobacco compliance checks Oct. 1 – through Dec. 31. STOP is proud of the work in our area and continues to sponsor Department of Liquor Control Trainings to tobacco retailers to raise awareness around not selling tobacco to minors.

Thank you!

It can be difficult to teach students about cities and population density when Springfield is their idea of a big town. Likewise, it is difficult to teach students about the scope of science and scientific discovery from the four walls of a middle school classroom.

She plans to bring her 65 students to Boston to visit the science museum in order to broaden their worldview. She would like them to wonder at the size of the city, and at the phenomenal world as seen through a scientific lens.

While the visit to the museum is inexpensive, transportation is pricy. The cost for transportation is $1500 for buses to transport these students to and from the Boston Science Museum.

With the generous help of an anonymous Springfield business which donated $250 toward the cost of transportation, and after charging up to $10 per student it left $500 dollars to raise for the trip.

This is where the Springfield Elks Lodge #1560, stepped to the plate and donated the final $500, so that these fine students could make the trip to Boston.

The trip was on for Jan. 15 for the 65 Riverside Middle School students traveling to the Boston Museum of Science.

Discussion on Contra & Square Dancing Adam Boyce of West Windsor will be presenting "Sprightly Steps: Vermont's Contra and Square Dancing Tradition" on Saturday, Feb. 6 at 7 p.m. at the Gilbert Davis Library in Reading.

Every town has some sort of dance history.

Although early settlers frowned upon the merriment of dancing and fiddling as "works of the devil," the tradition nonetheless found its way to the Green Mountains. From fancy balls or cotillions to kitchen junkets or "tunks," people of all ages and backgrounds fell victim to the strains of the fiddle upon their souls.

News from the Springfield Humane Society

Madeline L. Leet – 90 October 20, 1919 – January 2, 2010 Madeline L. Leet 90, died Saturday evening Jan. 2, 2010 at the Springfield Health & Rehab. Center in Springfield following a brief illness.

She was born on Oct. 20, 1919 in Chester, the daughter of Aden and Helen (Clark) Foster. She attended Chester Schools and graduated from Chester High School class of 1937.

She married Guy Francis Leet on Sept. 6, 1939 in Ludlow. He predeceased her on April 16, 2006.

Mrs. Leet was a longtime resident of Springfield. She enjoyed fishing and hunting She is survived by two sons, Richard W. Leet of Springfield, and David P. Leet of Spofford, NH, one sister, Marguerite Evans of Florida, six grandchildren, six great grandchildren and several nieces, nephews and cousins.

She was predeceased by three brothers, John Foster, Donald Foster and Aden Foster Jr., and by two sisters, Marion Mooney and Monetta Baldwin.

Burial will be in the Oakland Cemetery in Springfield at the convenience of the family.

Venus and Serena are 2-ish year old Siamese mix sisters who must go together. They are very affectionate and have stunning blue eyes to mesmerize you as you stroke their silky fur. They missed being in a home by New Year ’s.

We took two calls last week asking for help. One came from a man in Ludlow overwhelmed with 12 cats and one from Claremont who is closing their pound so we took 11 of their cats.

That meant we took in 23 extra cats. Fortunately all are very sweet natured and will make terrific companions. That leaves us with 42 cats and 15 kittens deserving a second chance. We had them all spayed/neutered, tested, vaccinated, etc so they are ready to go.

Did you know? – Adoption fees do not cover our costs per animal. Our medical costs per cat are female $87.17, male $60.51. Then there is food, labor, insurance, etc. etc. and our adoption fee is $75. Dogs medical costs are female $104.45, male $86.90 with adoption fee of $105. Donations and fund raising help cover the rest of our overhead. We rely entirely on local friends and supporters to keep us going.

Bulldogs Too Much For Terriers Story and photo by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor The Burr & Burton Academy boys’ basketball team recently traveled to Westminster to take on Bellows Falls, easily overpowering the Terriers in a 61-21 romp at Holland Gym. This one was all BBA from the get-go, as senior Chris Antonez hit a 3-pointer 20 seconds into the game and the Bulldogs never looked back, grabbing a quick 10-point lead by the end of the first quarter.

Bellows Falls worked hard, but could not get their offense going against a tough, 2-2-1 trapping defense that produced several turnovers and easy transition baskets for the Bulldogs.

In the second quarter BBA shifted gears and stretched the lead to 38-8 at the half with both the outside shooting of Joseph Keefe and Antonez, as well the inside play of Patrick Hancock, TJ Oliver and Joel Zoufaly.

In the third quarter the Bulldogs extended the lead to 35 as Bellows Falls coach Evan Chadwick did a lot of substituting, giving all his players time on the floor. Burr & Burton also did a lot of rotating of players throughout the second half.

In the fourth quarter, the Terriers kept working hard but only had three points to show for it in the final stanza, while BBA added another 14 to their total.

Keefe led all scorers with 13 points for the Bulldogs, while Antonez and Hancock pitched in with 11 points each.

Three players had four points each for the Terriers.

Burr and Burton's Chris Antonez shoots a 3-pointer over a BF defender.

FOLA Seeks Town Funding for Films The Friends of Ludlow Auditorium (FOLA) hope to provide first run movies for area residents in the restored Ludlow Auditorium in town Hall in 2010.

According to FOLA chairman, Ralph Pace, the group is seeking to provide new entertainment forms in the auditorium. "One of the best ways to do this," Pace said, "is to offer some first rate movies here in Ludlow."

He noted that FOLA had already scheduled 5 summer concerts in the auditorium consisting of master concerts presented by the Okemo Young Artists Program (OYAP). These concerts will feature star pupils and their teachers in special concert presentations in June and July.

In order to underwrite the cost of the movies, FOLA has submitted an approved petition for Town Meeting seeking to raise $3,000 for the purchase of projection equipment for movies.

Pace noted that FOLA has already begun to raise some of the additional funding required to get the equipment. "The people of Ludlow deserve a first class presentation of good family-oriented movies."

He added that any equipment purchased by FOLA would be given to the town.

Pace indicated that, in addition to the summer OYAP programs and movies, FOLA was scheduling other programs at the auditorium such as a Christmas Festival featuring local students, possible band concerts, and public service programs.

The approved petition that will be included in the March Town Meeting agenda reads as follows: "Shall the voters of the Town of Ludlow authorize the Select Board to appropriate the sum of $3,000 to the Friends of Ludlow Auditorium, Inc., to support its programs in the Town Hall auditorium that will include the showing of recently-released movies to local citizens, five summer concerts, Christmas programs, and other entertainment and community services in the auditorium in 2010."

Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – Editor For the past 15 years, the Naughty but Nice store, featuring adult items, has been located in the lower section of the Athens Pizza building in Bellows Falls.

Now owners Duane and Tina Amsden have relocated a short ways away on Route 5 in Westminster, in the former Melsur Building.

The store features adult films, magazines, novelties, marital aids, clothing, body jewelry, costumes, games and gifts.

“If you’re looking for something, and we don’t Store manager Chris Van Amberg stands at the Naughty but Nice entrance at its new location in the have it,” said Tina Melsur Building on Route 5 in Westminster.

Amsden, “we’ll get it for you.” She said that required, with no exceptions.

The store’s hours are 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday She also noted that you have to be 18 years old to to Thursday, 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. on Friday and get into the store, and positive identification is Saturday and 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sunday.

Youth Services Organizes Wednesday Drop-In Night in Bellows Falls Boys & Girls Club Thanks in large part to federal funding obtained for the agency by Senator Bernie Sanders, Youth Services’ very successful Brattleboro Drop-In Night “The Junction” has now been replicated in Bellows Falls at the Bellows Falls Boys & Girls Club at 12 Church Street every Wednesday night from 6 to 9 p.m.

The Brattleboro night started with 20 attendees and has since grown to an average of 41 participants each week between the ages of 15 to 21.

According to Youth Services organizer in Bellows Falls, Ruston Mitchell, the youth he is targeting are not typically members of the Club and are not required to join in order to attend the Wednesday night events at the club which are hosted by Youth Services.

“This often hard-to-reach population has shown through their enthusiasm that they are hungry for more than the free meal,” Mitchell said. “Local youth are eager for activities that are not only fun, safe, and substance free, but that will support them in realizing

their full potential as individuals and community members.”

Mitchell describes the drop-in night as a chance for youth to participate in life skills and livelihood development trainings which are incorporated into the mix of healthy activities already available at the club.

Upcoming Wednesday night discussions or activities may include martial arts, diversity and gender issues, and the dangers of substance abuse. A Pool Tournament is planned Jan. 27 and a Valentine’s Day Party is scheduled for Feb. 10.

Community members who have an expertise to share are encouraged to contact Youth Services.

The federal dollars are being used for staffing, space rental, and a few of the hot meals cooked and served by youth who attend, while most other program costs are supported by local donations.

If community members want to find out how to be a part of this important work with our youth, please call 463-9927 or visit www.youthservicesinc.org.

January 20-26, 2010

Marching to Protest the Vermont Yankee Power Plant Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – Editor With the re-licensing of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Power Plant in Vernon coming up in 2012, folks on both sides of the issue are making their viewpoints known.

Vermont Yankee applied to the Nuclear Regulatory Commission for a 20 year extension on its license four years ago this month. The application is currently under review, and a decision is expected before the current license is up.

The Green Mountain Outlook has printed literally dozens of letters to the editor about the relicensing over the last several months.

Recently a group of relicensing opponents marched past our offices in downtown Bellows Falls, part of the Step It Up Walk, an anti-nuclear protest march that started in Brattleboro on Jan. 2 and ended 120 miles away at the Vermont State House in Montpelier on

Jan. 13.

It is the contention of those opposed to relicensing that the 40 year old plant has lived out its original license and could be structurally unsafe to continue on another 20 years because of its age. They are also concerned about the storage of used fuel rods on the site.

Numerous letters from supporters of the relicensing of the plant, including from engineers who have worked at Vermont Yankee, contend that a continuous program of maintenance and equipment upgrades at the plant has not only maintained the structural quality of the facility, but that it’s in better shape in many ways than when it was first constructed.

They also note that it provides a third of Vermont’s electrical energy needs without the carbon pollution created at coal and gas plants, and is one of the largest businesses in the area, with 650 employees.

Myrtle Olive Murray – 75 January 16, 1959 – January 10, 2010 Donna Barry Mason passed away on Jan. 10 in Hudson, FL at the home of her mother. She was born on Jan. 16, 1959, the daughter of Donald and Barbara Barry of Marlboro, NH. She was the widow of Scott Mason of North Walpole who predeceased her in 1995.

Donna is survived by her son Christian Hansen of Bellows Falls; her daughter Brenda Hensen of Springfield; her mother Barbara Delgardo of Hudson, FL; her brothers and sisters Douglas, William, Laura and Sharon all of Florida; six grandchildren; many nieces and nephews, and her mother-in-law Kay Long of Bellows Falls. Besides her husband Scott, she is predeceased by her father Donald Barry.

There will be a graveside service in the Walpole Cemetery, Walpole, NH in the spring, date to be announced.

A group opposed to the reliscensing of the Vermont Yankee Nuclear Powerplant in Vernon marched through Bellows Falls recently, on their way to Montpelier.

Arts & Entertainment Remembering A Great Musician And Sound Man, Doug Bashaw Local Musician’s Spotlight

Story by Joe Milliken - Editor January 16 would have been Doug Bashaw’s 46 birthday and although he has not been with us since Aug. 6, 2008, it still feels like he really never left.

A Charlestown, NH native and 1982 graduate of Fall Mountain

Regional High School in Langdon, NH, Douglas S. Bashaw was many things to many people; a son, brother, husband, father, friend, a well-rounded musician, comedian and sound engineer.

This editor remembers that fateful day as if it were yesterday. A very rainy afternoon when I

heard of Mr. Bashaw’s tragic accident, as I helplessly gazed out my window, listening to the radio as I drove home, wondering how this could be possible and hoping it wasn’t.

However I digress, this is certainly not intended to be a sad story, but one of remembrance and good feelings, because that is what Mr. Bashaw did for others every day of his life.

He made people laugh, and he made people feel good through his many musial talents.

Doug had music in his blood from the beginning I am told, learning how to play the mandolin from his father at the ripe old age of three.

“Doug was about three years old and liked to sing “Twinkle Twinkle Little Star” while his dad played guitar,” Doug’s mom Patricia said in a recent interview.

“Doug wanted to play as well but the guitar was too big, so his dad taught him three chords on the mandolin. I guess that was the start of his musical career.”

Doug started his first band, Governor, in his early teens called and this editor remembers seeing that band on TV, performing The Monkees

“Stepping Stone” on the local community access show called Community Audition.

And that was just the beginning, as Doug would go on to become a favorite on the local music scene for many years as a bassist, singer and front man with such bands as Block Party, Signature, Shine and Sun King, just to name a few.

Doug also evolved into one of the best and most sought-after sound engineers in the area, constantly giving his time, expertise and sound equipment to various bands and local charity events.

Doug also worked very hard to promote the local music scene and its’ many musicians, always encouraging young players to get out there and perform.

Whatever it was that a band, local artists or organization needed, Doug would do it with no questions asked.

“Doug was one of the best sound engineers in New England, and would give you the shirt off his back,” Josh Parker of the local band Stonewall stated at the time of his passing.

Doug had worked with Stonewall, engineering their debut and very

In fact, each year on his birthday (Jan. 16), many family members and friends trudge through the snow to visit Doug at

the cemetery, cranking up Led Zeppelin on the boom box to reminisce about a man that continues to create a huge impact on the lives of many who loved him.

Indeed, heaven has one heck of a musician and sound engineer in the band. Happy birthday Doug.

Chester Welcomes 16th New Voices

A Sound Review Joe’s take on New Music

DVD Review by Joe Milliken - Editor This Who documentary(which is not authorized by the band) investigates the band's connection with the British, working-class “Mod movement”, which certainly influenced the band greatly, especially on their 1973 epic release Quadrophenia.

The nearly two hour program includes an early history of the band, but also several interviews including Who biographer Richard Barnes, engineer Ron Nevison, who worked on the aforementioned Quardrophenia album, DJ

and radio broadcaster Eddie Pillar and Who expert and author Alan Clayson.

While the proceedings does delve into the Mod subculture lifestyle of James Brown soul music, motor scooters and fueled with amphetamines, it does not necessarily elaborate on any true connection between The Who and the British fad and more importantly, how Pete Townshend didn't even necessarily like the band being pigeon-holed as a "Mod band."

The film does however, offer some interesting

live footage of The Who and other Mod bands of the time, including news reel reports and location shots, film and video clips and footage surrounding the movie.

All set to a soundtrack of mostly Who songs, but also Booker T and The MGs and The Jam. The music throughout the film is fantastic.

However the fact that there are no interviews or opinions whatsoever with any Who band members, or any other bands of the time, seems to certainly detract a bit from the films' authenticity.

Yearly, the Chester bookstore invites new talents from around the country whose work is promising to share their first books with Vermont audiences.

Past New Voices have included Gregory Maguire (Wicked), Arthur Golden (Memoirs of a Geisha), Dennis Lehane (Mystic River), Claire Messud (The Emperor’s Children) and nearly 100 others.

New voices After the session, the Crumbs. public is invited to a reception put on by the Church and a book signing.

The public can also cross country ski or snowshoe with the authors Saturday morning at Grafton Ponds at 9:30 (www. graftonponds.com) and wine-and cheese (5:45) and dine (6:30) with them at the Fullerton Inn on the Green next to Misty Valley Books Saturday evening (call the Inn at 875-2444 for reservations and prices).

The first to present her work will be Deborah Copaken Kogan. Kogan is a veteran photojournalist, who has covered wars in the Middle East and the Balkans. Her first novel, Between Here and April (Algonquin), attempts a heartwrenching answer to the question, “How could a mother kill her children?”

When a deep-rooted memory suddenly surfaces, Elizabeth Burns becomes obsessed with the long-ago disappearance of her childhood friend April Cassidy. Driven to investigate, Elizabeth discovers a 35-year-old newspaper article revealing the details that had been hidden from her as a child –shocking revelations about April's mother, Adele. Elizabeth, now herself a mother, tracks down the people who knew Adele Cassidy and who thought that they knew what was going through her mind before she committed that most incomprehensible of crimes. Elizabeth comes finally to a fearsome reckoning with what it means to be a wife and mother. She lives with her family in New York City. Nancy Pennell of Chester will introduce her.

Pulitzer Prizewinning author of Angela’s Ashes Frank McCourt had this to say of Elena Gorokhova’s fascinating memoir, A Mountain of Crumbs (Simon and Schuster): “What is it about A Mountain of Crumbs that makes it so damn readable? Is it the setting – the Soviet Union in the second half of the last century on the verge of disintegration? Is it the author ’s way with the English language – her second language?

Elena Gorokhova deftly moves us from the intimacies of family life to school, to university, to various bureaucracies with exposure along the way to ballet and theater. This is a rich experience – a personal journey paralleled by huge national changes and ending in a deeply satisfying portrait of peace in America.

Those who have traveled from another place to America will find themselves in this rich memoir. Yes, rich is the word I’ve been groping for: Rich.”

James Landis writes in his thoughtprovoking The Last Day (Steerforth): I’m on the beach, but I don’t know how I got here.

My mind is as dark as the night. . . . I spend the whole night on the beach. But when the sun’s faint light begins to bend around the Earth, I see him. . . . There, coming toward me, out of the light, is a man. . . . Behind the man a faint curtain of light rises to the sky out of the ocean. He wears the light like a robe, though I see he’s dressed like me. Jeans and a T-shirt, no shoes. And that he’s older than I am, a lot older, maybe mid-thirties. He walks right toward me. He walks right into my eyes.

So begins the spellbinding story of Warren Harlan Pease, a young U.S.

writer Elena Gorokhova, author of A Mountain of Army sniper freshly returned from the Iraq War to his native New Hampshire.

What follows is a page-turning adventure that is also a powerful meditation on religion and war, love and loss. This extraordinary work of compassion and healing grace combines the themes of religion, war and poetry in a way that is wholly original, and unforgettable. It will resonate with skeptics and believers, be shared and discussed between friends and among families.

James Landis, a former editor at HarperCollins, lives in New Hampshire.

Dr. Jerry Brophy of Chester and Boston will introduce Landis.

Heidi Durrow is the author of The Girl Who Fell from the Sky (Algonquin), a novel that tells the story of Rachel, the daughter of a Danish mother and a black G.I. who becomes the sole survivor of a family tragedy. With her strict AfricanAmerican grandmother as her new guardian, Rachel moves to a mostly black community, where her light brown skin, blue eyes, and beauty bring mixed attention her way.

Growing up in the 1980’s, she learns to swallow her overwhelming grief and confronts her identity as a biracial young woman in a world that wants to see her as either black or white.

Meanwhile, a mystery unfolds, revealing the terrible truth about Rachel’s last morning on a Chicago rooftop. Interwoven are the voices of Jamie, a neighborhood boy who witnessed the event, and Laronne, a friend of Rachel’s mother. Inspired by a true story of a mother ’s twisted love, The Girl Who Fell From the Sky reveals an unfathomable past and explores issues of identity at a time when many people are asking “must race confine us and define us?

Who wants to catch a thief when he’s as endearing as Martin Railsback, the oddball hero of Matthew Dicks’s novel, Something Mis ing (Doubleday). Martin is, after all, prone to rob people of items they’ll never miss (a bar of soap, a few sticks of butter, the odd diamond) as a way of getting to know them.

Despite his obsessive-compulsive work ethic, Martin is not a mean thief-in fact, he develops a real fondness for some of his "clients", those couples whose homes he has burgled for small items over and over again for almost a decade. His success is based on a precise and unflagging attention to details as well as a keen knowledge of his targets' schedules, work situations and appointments.

This information affords Martin unnoticed access to their homes, access that is planned out and timed to the second--his watch's buzzer tells him when he has less than 30 seconds left in a particular house. When he begins to think of himself as his clients’ guardian angel, conscience rears its ugly head.

All the New Voices 2010 books are available at Misty Valley Books, with the set of all five at a 20 percent discount.

GREEN MOUNTAIN OUTLOOK - 13

THE OUTLOOK ON

Get In The Game A View On Sports By Editor Joe Milliken

Local Hoops Action The Green Mountain Union High School girls' hoop team recently dominated rival Black River, 68-22, at Nason Gym in Chester.

Sophomore McKala Benson led the way for the Lady Chiefs with 15 points, while Georgia Ladd, Emma Lisle and Carley Stauffer pitched in with 14, 12 and 10 points respectively. The win put Green Mountain at 9-2.

Katlynd Palmer led the

way for Black River with seven points.

---------------------------In BF recently, the Springfield Cosmos went into Holland Gym and handed the Lady Terriers a 45-23 loss. The win was just the second for Springfield this season.

Lady Cosmos senior Desmond Dana led all scorers with 16 points, while Brittany Grant pitched in with seven points. Sara Dumont led the way for Bellows Falls with 11 points. Marissa Smith pitched in with four.

--------------------------In Townshend, the Leland & Gray Lady Rebels recently lost a tough one to West Rutland, 66-42. The loss put the Rebels at 3-7 on the season.

Katie Lincoln led the way for the Golden Horde with 19 points.

Bethany Robinson had a great game for Leland &

Gray with 15 points, 11 rebounds and four blocked shots, while Aly Morrow pitched in with 15 points and seven rebounds.

--------------------------Staying in Townshend, the Rebels boys' hoop team recently notched an impressive, 63-27 win over West Rutland. The win (at press time) put Leland & Gray at 7-3 on the season.

Tyler Russell led the way for the Rebels with 18 points and eight rebounds while Josh Fontaine had 16 points and eight rebounds.

The game was close and tied at 11 after one quarter, before the Rebels went on an impressive 25-1 run to blow the game open. Adan Garcia led the way for Westside with 11 points.

-------------------------In Manchester the Burr & Burton Lady Bulldogs are on a roll, recently

winning their sixth game (at press time) in a row with a 57-38 win over Hartford.

The win put BBA at 9-1 on the season, not bad for a team that just moved up to Division I this season.

Jenna Hoffman and Nina Shehadi led the way for the Lady Bulldogs with 14 points each, while Kelsey Kelleher pitched in with 11.

Stephanie Parker led the way for Hartford with 10 points.

--------------------------McGwire’s Mirage Okay, folks, so after five long years in hiding, former St. Louis Cardinals slugger Mark McGwire has finally come out of the woodwork to admit to everyone that he used steroids during his career, including the 1998 season in which he broke Roger Maris’ home run record.

Of course, every

baseball fan under the sun already knew this anyway.

It is painfully obvious that the only reason Mr. Mcwuire has decided to come clean after all this time, is the fact that he is ready to come back to baseball as the Cardinals’ new hitting coach.

This is all well and good because everyone makes mistakes in life, Mark made his and it will probably cost him a ticket to the Hall Of Fame.

However, the thing that gets me is that when he decided to come out and talk and admit his mistakes, he chose a private interview with Bob Costas, as opposed to holding a press conference and facing the media questions.

And what makes it even worse? McGwire has the audacity to actually state he only took steroids to “recover from injury and not to get

stronger. Steroids did not help me hit more home runs.” Are you kidding me?

Before his steroid use, McGwire was averaging around 40 homers a year and had about a .250 career batting average.

While using steroids, McGuire hit 70 home runs and batted around .270. Um, case closed.

Have you noticed that not one of these athletes who has come out and admitted steroid use, has actually said, “yeah, I used steroids to get bigger, stronger and to become a better player.”

For Mark McGuire to come out and say such things and insult our intelligence? He was better off to stay in the shadows and not say anything at all.

It’s a sad day when the only one who seems to be telling any of the truth at all is Jose Canseco and David Letterman.

Improving Terriers Fall To Woodstock Terriers Working Hard, But Not There Yet Story and photos by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor The Bellows Falls Union High School boys basketball team is still in search of the formula that will produce a win, after recently dropping a 62-42 decision to Woodstock at Holland Gym in Westminster.

The Terriers have generally gotten off to bad starts this season and this game was no exception, falling behind 12-4 early, as Woodstock senior Colin Hagenbarth hit three jumpers early, including a three-pointer, while senior Sam Stockwell also hit a couple jumpers.

Woodstock also brought their defense, making it tough for the Terriers to get over half court and set into their offense on nearly every trip up the floor, which led to a 27-7 Wasp lead after one quarter.

However, to the Terriers credit, they quite possibly put together the best quarter of basketball this editor has seen from them this season, stringing together five consecutive baskets to start the quarter including buckets from Jeremy Kilburn, Will Bourn and two from Drew Guild.

The Bellows Falls' now trapping defense also produced a couple of turnovers, as the Terriers cut the Woodstock lead to 12 late in the second quarter.

However a late Wasp run put the lead back up to 14 points at halftime.

The Terriers had done a good job getting back to within striking distance, however the Wasps turned it up again in the third quarter and pushed the lead back up to 16 points headed into the fourth quarter.

The outside shooting of Woodstock proved to much in the end, as four Wasps hit double-figures in scoring, led by Hagenbarth with 25 points.

Stockwell finished with 15 points while Brendan Mayhew also finished with 10. Terrier sophomore guard Bourne led the way for the Terriers with 14 points, while sophomore Joe Aslin pitched in with seven points.

The loss may have put the Terriers at 0-8 on the season, but there are several young players who are getting valuable playing time, so watch out for this team in the near future.

Clockwise from top Bellows Falls sophomore guard Will Bourne, Terrier sophomore forward Drew Guild and BF senior Nick Riendeau.

Festival Series Features Lloyds, Dancing The Green Mountain Festival Series continues its 25th season on Saturday, Feb. 6 at 7:30 p.m. at at Green Mountain Union High School in Chester when we welcome three local artists to the stage for a performance that will make a perfect Valentine’s Day gift.

Married actors and community favorites, Sam and Barbara Lloyd, will perform in A.R. Gurney’s “Love Letters“ a beautifully written play which chronicles the relationship between a man and a woman solely through their correspondence. The play tells the story of Andrew Makepeace Ladd and Melissa Gardner, whose poignantly funny friendship and ill-fated romance takes them from second grade through adolescence, maturity, and into middle age.

The production traces the lifelong correspondence of the couple, telling the story of their bittersweet relationship in what is said, and left unsaid, in their letters. Both funny and moving, the play was a hit on Broadway.

With a huge local following themselves, we look forward to a beautiful performance by Sam and Barbara Lloyd.

Also on stage will be dancer, Ashley HenselBrowning. A graduate of the Harvard Graduate School of Education at Harvard University, Hensel-Browning has worked as a teaching artist at the Boston Ballet’s CityDance program and was chosen to be one of two Vermont Fellows for the Extending the Dance Map project. Already active in area schools as a visiting artist, Hensel-Browning has taught movement, choreography and works with students to develop independent studies of dance history and culture.

Joined for this event by artistic partner, Zoe McDonnell, the two will perform a piece which they choreographed and will include several student dancers.

Hensel-Browning says she benefited first-hand from the Green Mountain Festival Series and their Arts-inEducation programs.

We wish to thank the underwriters for this show, Bibens Home Center, Chester Rotary Club and Kiosko, Inc. for their longstanding relationships.

Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for Students when purchased in advance. Tickets are an additional $2.00 when purchased at the door. Tickets can be purchased at Misty Valley Books, Chester; Village Square Books, Bellows Falls; 56 Main Street, Springfield; Blue Sky Trading Company, Ludlow; Northshire Bookstore, Manchester, and Green Mountain Pharmacy, Londonderry.

Chester Rotary Donates Toward Haiti Disaster Relief As everyone is keenly aware, on Jan. 12, a major earthquake caused death, disaster and devastation in the country of Haiti. Homes and buildings were toppled or damaged as a result of this act of nature. A massive relief effort is underway to help the people survive until they can rebuild their lives.

"Sitting home in my warm house with food and water and shelter from the elements, I thought we must do something to help these poor people", said Ed Knapp. President of the Chester Rotary Club of Chester. Within two hours, the club's Board of Directors approved the funding necessary to purchase a Shelter Box for Haiti.

Shelter Box is a nonprofit disaster relief organization sponsored by Rotary clubs world wide and Rotary International. The Shelter Box contains supplies to help up to ten people for six months with a large tent, a stove, pots, eating utensils, rope, tool kit, sleeping mats, blankets, water containers and more. The Shelter Box is delivered directly to the people who need the help and can be tracked by the purchaser to see who actually received the box. Each Box costs $775.

Rotarians Malcolm Summers, Fran Cheslock and Susan Spaulding took up the call and contacted Shelter Box to arrange for the shipment of a disaster relief Shelter Box to Haiti. Summers, a retired international banker, used his ties to the United Kingdom to deal directly with Shelter Box which is headquartered in the UK. Summers said, “We can take advantage of the favorable exchange rates at the present time to get more help to the Haitians for our dollars”.

(Photo by Ed Knapp) While arrangements were being made for the purchase, Knapp contacted the Rotary District Governor, Michael Swinford of Rotary district 7870 and Assistant Governor Sally Sugarman of Area 11 requesting district funding to purchase a second Shelter Box. Sugarman, in turn, contacted all of the Rotary Club Presidents in Area 11 to see if they could add to the purchase.

Immediately, David Hoopes, President of the WantastiquetLondonderry, VT Rotary Club and Lisa Souls, President of the Manchester, VT Rotary Club contacted Knapp to arrange a joint order of Shelter Boxes. Due to the urgent nature of the Haiti situation, an order for three Shelter Boxes was placed on January 15, 2010.

This is one more of the examples of the work, both locally and internationally, performed by Rotary using the funds derived from their many fund raising events.
