A 4-year-old neutered male Siberian Husky mix weighing 33 lbs. I am a beautiful dog who is very nervous and in need of an adult only home where I can be given time to relax and learn to trust. I was surrendered by my family because there was illness and homelessness. I was living in a car with my owner before I was brought here on May 13. I may be ok with other animals but have not lived with them before so proper introductions are necessary. I have not had to obey too many rules in my life and I am not very tolerant of handling—I get unnerved quickly. This is why I need an adult only home and cannot go to a home with kids.

Pets to adopt this week— Help me! My name is Dennis and I am 9-10 years old. My people abandoned me because I’m getting older I guess.

Why? I am such a sweet guy who does not ask for much.

I’m happy with some attention, good food and easy walks.

Yes, I am older but I still have a lot to give some lucky folks.

Though they take good care of me I don’t want to spend my last years at the Shelter. Isn’t there some kind human out there willing to give me a home and some love for the rest of my life?

Currently at the Shelter are 29 cats, 5 kittens & 6 dogs– all seeking forever homes! Call the Shelter at 885-3997 or visit Wednesday-Saturday, noon-4:30 p.m.

We have begun a new program to unite life experienced cats with life experienced people. Our Senior to Senior Program offers “mature” cats to people 60 or over at no adoption fee. These wonderful cats still have years of loving companionship to offer yet are difficult to find homes for.

Who better to understand the joys of maturity than seniors and each can bring loving friendship to the other.

Can’t afford to have your cat spayed or neutered?

Call 802-885-2174 about our low cost clinics. Upcoming clinics: July 13 in Bellows Falls, Aug. 10 in Charlestown and Sept. 7 back in Bellows Falls. They fill fast so reserve your space now by calling 802-885-2174. A $10 deposit is required to hold your space.

Weather permitting our weekly sales at the North Springfield Storage Units will be Fridays from 8 a.m.-noon. Our unit is packed to the ceiling with great items with more arriving weekly.

Keep those used ink/toner cartridges coming, we get $3 each. Thanks to everyone who helps us this way.

WEDNESDAY June 9, 2010

Zen and the Art of Life on the Road: An Interview with Fred Eaglesmith Story by Joyce Peters Photos by Robert F. Smith I recently caught up with multi-talented musician and artist Fred Eaglesmith as he traveled through Northeast USA for a string of solo gigs— JP: So, you paint. You write songs. You play guitar. You arrange songs. You entertain people with your wry wit. You play music live for audiences all over. You constantly travel and tour North America, Europe, and Australia. You have two vintage music stores and a cafe. You’re a father and a “band leader.” You play hockey and bowl.

Which of these comes most naturally?

Which seems the most effortless?

FJE: There’s nothing that’s effortless. It’s all a big effort for me. But I will say songwriting now...because I’ve put the most time of all things in my life I’ve done, I’ve put the most time in songwriting. Songwriting is easier for me. But I don’t really come naturally to a lot of things; I have to work. So I have to work.

JP: How would you prefer to spend your time?

FJE: How I live is how I choose to live. I make this choice. And though I don’t always know what my preference is, I think I always end up doing what my preference is, although I don’t necessarily plan my preference. I look out most days and it’s a pretty good day, right? If you do that, you’re probably doing what you should be doing.

JP: When you think about the creating part versus the sharing or performing part, which of those activities is more effortless?

FJE: Whenever I’m learning something, and I’m really interested in it, time flies.

Whenever I know something, and my interest has waned in it, I don’t think I’m as excited about it. I think learning makes time fly for me.

JP: Give me an example of something that took you by surprise that you wanted to learn.

FJE: I’ve done this all my life. I had a friend who grew flowers in the late ‘80s. I needed a job. So I took a truck and took these flowers to town and started selling them.

And then I just went crazy. I became the best of the best. Florists said, “Ask that guy, he knows everything.” I’ll do it with anything in the world. If I have an interest in it, I’ll buy every book until I know it, know it...and then I’ll put it on the shelf with the other things.

JP: Your last record, Tinderbox, had yet again a distinctly different vibe. Are you surprised by how people reacted to it?

FJE: No, it’s the same thing. If I get into it, I’m dead meat. I can’t stop until it’s done.

People say that all the time; that it’s a departure from what I’ve done. They say it about every record. I’ve got letters about almost every record I’ve put out telling about how awful it is. And then an apology letter four months later. Now I don’t really care.

JP: Is that because you’re making the record for you?

FJE: No, I’m making it because it’s interesting to me. So I’m not making it for me.

After it’s done, I’ll finish this record and I won’t listen to it...for five years or 10 years.

I’m not interested in it anymore.

JP: But you’ll still perform the songs.

FJE: Yeah, yeah. But I’m not the Tinderbox preacher guy anymore. That was a fun thing. And I really explored what it would be to be that guy. And how much fun it was.

And then I went, “Oh yeah.” The trouble with a lot of people is that they think they have to stay in that box. So I explore the box that they’re in and go, “Hey, now would be a good time to get out of this box. Right now.” But I guess people think that they have to stay, so I don’t. I don’t. So I explore the world and jump. It’s good to be somebody else sometimes.

act...a little traveling show. Our heads are really all around that. A traveling menagerie; a haggard, rough sort of thing. It’s really time for that. When we do it, people sit right up. You put on the clothes and you go do this thing. I think that’s what’s going to happen. The 40s and 30s to me was really circus time. That’s when the circus was vibrant. It feels like to go there...it feels like it’s relevant.

JP: When you say circus, are you talking about quirky characters?

FJE: I want an elephant but I don’t think I can make that work [laughs]. I need a big train and an elephant [laughs]. It’s more the attitude of it and the sort of shoddiness of it.

Because music is done on computers now and art is all computerized, but that [circus] isn’t. Neither was the Tinderbox. Neither were the snake preachers. You can’t handle a snake on a computer. So I’m sort of interested in, well what if that was now? There’s not a lot of room for doubting anymore.

Everybody’s looking good.

Everybody showers everyday and changes their clothes and puts that stuff on their hands [rubs hands together]. It’s a sterile world. The circus was sort of gross...a little nasty. And the guys were nasty; stealing from you. They had a scam going. I’m very interested in this.

I think traveling this way is very cool; where we stop staying in motels and we do this other thing staying in trailers. This is a hard one for me. It’s going to take a long time for me.

That’s what we talk about these days.

JP: You’re always described as fiercely independent. You’re committed to the life on the road. How do you stay connected?

road as long as I am, eventually you become like a guy in prison. People stop visiting you and stop calling and stop coming around because you’re not in their life, not in their scope anymore. And so you better figure out how to live that way. The way for me to do it in my little zen world is this is what’s supposed to happen. In zen, we learn to not love this life so we can love it. We learn not to love this life. And there’s the lesson. A hard, hard lesson: to not love this life.

JP: So what’s your North Star? What helps you find your way?

FJE: Meditation. Just solid meditation. I can go there now. In one minute...in two minutes and find the place. And then, when you figure that out... I say this in my show: you’re born naked without a name. Before anything’s programmed. If you can find that person...because really we always think our North Star is our body, the person we see in the mirror. That’s not really a North Star.

That’s a false North Star. If you went to that, you’d find there’s nothing there. It’s decaying. It’s dying. It’s false. But your being is really a North Star...the true one. It’s the one that doesn’t die. You can’t kill a spirit, right?

And so, if you go to that one, you don’t need a car or clothes. You don’t need anything because all that’s false. And that self...your true self, there it is. Then you’re done.

JP: Wow, I have to absorb all of that.

FJE: [laughs] This thing is falling apart [points to self]; we’re dying. And we cling to this. We cling to the sinking ship. We identify that as ourselves. This is not who you are. You know that and I know that.

There is a self in there. A perfect being that knows. [Silence followed by laughter]

FJE: I really don’t. When you’re on the

State Police report lots of speeding over holiday weekend During the four day period from May 28–31, Vermont experienced no fatalities on Vermont highways. In 2009, three people suffered fatal injuries on the state’s highways over the same period.

Vermont troopers conducted high visibility enforcement in support of Operation C.A.R.E. (Combined Accident Reduction Effort) and worked collaboratively with other state, county and local law enforcement agen-

cies in the annual Click-It or Ticket mobilization, which continues through June 6th.

The following Vermont State Police activity statistics were compiled during this period: Motor vehicle crashes: fatal 0, alcohol related 5 ; total crashes, 41.

DUI arrests: 19.

Speeding violations: 814.

Safety belt violations: 98.

Motorist assists: 107.

McKernon From page 1 Woodland Cabinets and most recently, Green Earth Energy. He is currently involved in the renovation of three buildings at Park Village (former Brandon Training School) which were recently purchased from the State of Vermont.

Kevin Birchmore, McKernon’s partner since the company’s inception 25 years ago, has been elected to serve as incoming President. Kevin has overseen the operational aspects of building, and has gained the respect of clients and employees because of his knowledge of project management, fast build, and his conscientious approach toward the environment. Birchmore grew up in Vermont, and received his education locally. He is married to Lynda Birchmore and they have a son, Hunter. He is an avid golfer, has coached Little League, and enjoys boating and snowmobiling.

The McKernon Group is making some important changes. Recognizing the effect the economy has had on the building profession, Kevin is aware that new approaches are needed. He plans to make good use of the company’s strengths in order to “build better for less”.

Birchmore said that McKernon plans to be involved in small jobs as well as building the client’s “home of choice”. His plan is to make renovations and new build more affordable to the average homeowner by design, efficient construction and streamlining overhead costs. He will keep the current, well established high standards that he and McKernon have set up, and will continue to expand the energy efficient building systems that are currently in place.

Another area of expansion includes the potential training of personnel for historic preservation work. As a specialized division of the building industry, it requires skilled craftsmen and a commitment to renovating the landscape in a deliberate and responsible way.

Sex in the City 2 M

om doesn’t like cussin’. I should say, she doesn’t like certain cusses. So I screen first run films she might be interested in seeing for cussin content. I saw Jeff Bridges movie “Crazy Heart” recently and gave it a clean bill of cuss. Mom went, liked it, but took issue with some of “the language”, as she calls cussin’. I watched it again, and sure enough, there were a number of mom’s unwanted-type cusses sprinkled throughout.

Last night, I screened “Sex in the City 2” and will give mom the green light to go view. She won’t like some of the front-take cusses in the movie, but she’ll be forewarned.

Front-take cusses are different then “flow” type cusses, like the ones from “Crazy Heart”. In CH, the cussin is appropriate to the character doing the cussin, and flows naturally within the situation. In SITC 2, the cussin may be appropriate to the character doing the cussin, but it doesn’t flow natural within the situation. It seems forced.

“Front take” cusses I notice, “flow” type cusses I don’t notice. Does that make sense?

I’m getting off point a little. All I really want to say is, I liked SITC 2.

The brand is solid, and the filmmakers stay well within what the brand can display. The characters are well defined, and the actresses are strong, especially Sarah Jessica Parker. Watching her is a treat. You are interested in what goes on with her story—no matter what she’s trying to play, you believe her.

The other gals are good too, but Sarah owns the franchise, which of course isn’t any giant revelation is it? A movie does not have to be a world changer for me to enjoy it. If you think you relate to me regarding what I look for when I simply want to be entertained by a movie, than I recommend “Sex in the City 2,” especially if you’re a single middle-aged guy. What? Yup. Hey, you single middle-aged guys, when I went to see SITC2 I was one of three guys in the theatre; it was full of honeys of all ages shapes and sizes. These ladies were dressed up all nice and pretty, smelling fine, with nowhere to go. And most of them were drunk—yup; if you’re a single middle-aged guy looking for love and you can’t find it in the lobby after SITC 2, well buddy, you are one unappealing son of a gun.

The lobby was overflowing with women before the second show—just after the first show let out—and you would of thought I was Antonio Bandares the way some of the drunkard 40 and 50-somethings were trying to dial me

in. There’s an amount of naked man in the movie which had the first show watchers worked up into such a lusty lather that they were needing to blow off some steam; at that point in the lobby, I was the one and only male around they could blow off onto. I felt like a three-legged cat with a cold surrounded by a den of rabid foxes. I could tell if I didn’t hurry and get my peanut Mand-Ms and Dr. Pepper and go hide in the bathroom, a passel of those women were going to try and bat me around if they could.

So, I hid in the bathroom, not so much cause I was scared, but because the lobby was loud. Some louds I like.

Loud purring from a cozily curled up cat, or loud rumble from ramblin’ stock cars at the local oval, just to name two. But loud shrieks by middle-aged women who don’t get out away from the kids and husband nearly enough, is loud I don’t like. I could have hushed them all to dead silence by walking to the middle of the room and shouting, “Sarah Palin rules!”— but nobody wants to be a party pooper.

When the lights went down, I snuck into the theater and sat in the seat farthest back (which luckily happened to be empty). As I wrote earlier, I enjoyed this movie but not half as much as I enjoyed the woman sitting directly across from me. She could not sit still for more than two minutes; every time she repositioned and literally did a couple of yoga moves. I’m serious, she was more entertaining than Sarah Jessica Parker; the moves she made were fantastic.

I’d never seen anything like her in public. Pretty sure she was Canadian. Figures, eh?

I’m telling you guys, SITC2 will loosen ‘em up.

So, if you’re a feller in-between gals, or in the midst of a divorce, or just looking for a good time, go see “Sex in the City 2”. Get there early. I give the movie two solid stars. I give the action in the lobby before and after the movie four and a half stars, two thumbs up, and ah, saaalluuuttee!

Moonless in Vermont There's no more Moon Up there; There's no Moon in the sky...

—Orange Merchants

A

long with supposed alien visitations to Earth, Pluto’s demotion to dwarf-planet status (an going discussion in this column), and possible microbial life on Mars, the most frequent question school children ask me is, “What if Earth didn’t have the Moon?” To paraphrase the late T.V. pioneer Art Linkletter, kids ask the darndest questions. Yes, we’ve covered this question before, but let’s look more closely at Earth without the Moon.

First, let’s look at tides. Without Luna, Earth would still have high and low tides thanks to the Sun, but these tides would be half as high as lunar high and low tides. Spring tides (or Neap tides) would disappear since both the Sun and the Moon—on opposite sides of the Earth or on the same side—create these effects. However, large coastal breakers, familiar to residents of California and Oregon, would still occur thanks to the effects of Earth’s rotation and maritime storms.

When it comes to time-keeping, there’d be no need to keep a 12-month calendar without the Moon. Also, take away the influence of Luna’s gravity upon Earth and fewer volcanoes might have been created during our planet’s long geological history. This problem, with reduced out gassing from volcanoes, might have reduced the density, and perhaps the complex composition, of the terrestrial atmosphere. Such an effect might have reduced or even eliminated the chance of life arising early in the Earth’s history.

Would the lack of a moon near Earth also have prevented continental drift? Probably not since convection of molten materials deep within the Earth’s mantle is the result of internal forces not lunar forces.

One intriguing effect of a Moonless planet Earth would be a world without seasons—or at least a world with seasons very alien to those we’re used to.

Many astronomers think the proto Moon was an “interloper”, a planetary wanderer, which came from elsewhere in space and impacted the Earth to form the Moon we know today. If true, then the Earth’s rotation axis—in prelunar epochs—could have been tilted perpendicular to the “ecliptic” or plane of the solar system (rather than titled at nearly 24 degrees as it is now).

Without the Moon, sunlight would reach the Earth’s surface at the same angle throughout the year.

At Vermont’s latitude, the Sun’s rays would strike the ground at 45 degrees daily. At both poles, the Sun would

never rise above the horizon.

Thus, at the equator summer would continue year round; at mid-latitudes spring would reign; and at higher latitudes, winter would continue throughout the year.

Such a hodgepodge of seaBy Lou Varricchio sons would create wild, unpredictable planetwide weather—well, not too unlike Vermont’s ‘wait-a-minute’ weather now, eh? Just kidding, folks.

Seriously, without our Moon would the Green Mountain State’s romantic reputation and 1940s pop singer Margaret Whiting’s “Moonlight in Vermont” fame be still as bright with a song entitled “Moonless in Vermont”?

What’s in the Sky—During early June, Mars is near Regulus but as it moves away from Earth in 2010, it will grow dimmer. The orange-red color of Mars is a sweet contrast to the blue color of Regulus. But don’t let the closeness of these objects seen from Earth fool you. Regulus is 77.5 light years away. And in 2003, Mars was the closest to Earth in 60,000 years at 34,646,418 miles. It has been moving away from Earth since then and won’t be that close again until 2287 A.D.

Trustees tour, inspect Fletcher Farm center LUDLOW—Fletcher Farm Foundation trustees Jean Morrill and Carolyn Gauthier, along with Philip Severy, toured the completed landscaping at the newly renovated farmhouse along Route 103 in Ludlow last week.

Severy Brothers have been responsible for mowing and grooming the Fletcher fields and craft school campus.

The Fletcher Farm Foundation is charged with preserving the buildings and maintaining the grounds for educational purposes for future generations.

Opportunities in Learning, the present tenant at the farmhouse, will be moving back to Green Mountain High School.

The farmhouse will be available for lease to a viable nonprofit. Contact Doug LeMire for more information at 802875-4786.

Vt. Yankee staffers generous with local children

Moosalamoo Association to host park educators GOSHEN—The Moosalamoo Association, a stewardship partner with the U.S. Forest Service for the management of the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area, will host a crew of Vermont Youth Conservation Corps Park Educators providing environmental education and naturalist programming within the NRA and surrounding community.

The five Park Educators will be working in the Moosalamoo National Recreation Area and in Branbury State Park, engaging in trail education projects providing environmental education to visitors and the community.

Some of the focus topics will be on invasive species, Leave No Trace T ethics, land stewardship. Leave No Trace is a national and international program designed to assist outdoor enthusiasts with their decisions about how to reduce their impacts when they hike, camp, picnic, snowshoe, run, bike, hunt, paddle, ride horses, fish, ski or climb.

Moosalamoo NRA is a 20,000-acre region of public and private land nestled in the Green Mountain National Forest.

Moosalamoo's diverse ecosystem is home to a large number of plants and animals. The region is also a ecreation area for wildlife viewing, blueberry picking, hiking, biking, crosscountry skiing, snow shoeing, picnicking, and camping.

YMCA youth camp has openings SPRINGFIELD—The Meeting Waters YMCA still has openings in its Lewis Day Camp program. Its leaders are reaching out to parents with four family-centered qualities of the regional YMCA’s camp.

“While there are many benefits to parents and kids, as it relates to parents, we like to stress four themes,” said camp director Susan Fortier. “First is our quality. We know that is most important to all parents. Our staff, facilities, curriculum and practices are second-to-none. Second, our camp schedule is based on most parents’ working schedules.

Third, we offer bus service from Vermont and New Hampshire. And, fourth, our rates are competitive but we have several forms of financial assistance for those who still can not afford our fees.”

Fortier explained that Lewis Day Camp is unique in that it is licensed as a school-age child care program with regulatory agencies in both Vermont and New Hampshire.

Youngsters that have completed kindergarten through 13 years-of-age canm attend both one- and two-week sessions June 28 through Aug. 20. Core camp activities include YMCA swim lessons, sports, arts and crafts, free swim, cooperative games, hiking, archery, nature education, and canoeing. All of this takes place on the Meeting Waters YMCA’s 52-acre property in Springfield, Vt. Bus transportation is provided to Lewis Day Camp, KinderCamp, and Leaders-in-Training at no additional cost from Bellows Falls, Brattleboro, Charlestown, Chester, Putney, Saxtons River, Springfield, Walpole, and Westminster.

For more information, call the camp through the following local telephone exchanges: Brattleboro 802-246-1036, Bellows Falls 802-463-4769 or Springfield 802-885-8131.

Help for stressed-out dairy farmers RUTLAND—Vermont Agency of Agriculture officials announced the beginning of a new benefit for dairy producers and their families called Farm First.

The program is intended to improve mental health and productivity among farmers and family members on Vermont’s dairy farms.

The first of its kind in the country, it takes the valuable Midwest farmer hotline model to a new level with the addition of statewide licensed clinical staff prepared to confidentially assist with any concern.

In addition to providing confidential consultation and counseling, FFP staff researches needs and provides current information and pertinent referrals to farmers who work day and night to keep their farms running. Agricultural experts in both the public and private sectors are consulted by FFP staff to provide links and valid information for Vermont dairy farmers.

Program membership cards were sent to each Vermont dairy farm in February.

To reach a counselor, farmers call a dedicated toll-free counseling line, talk with a counselor about the issue at hand and are offered in-person counseling appointments and concrete help with resources.

The FFP website, www.investeap.org, provides information on a range of topics as well as access to the FFP via e-mail.

Kurn Hattin Homes was awarded a $4,000 grant from Entergy Foundation to help support the Healthy Children Program, a program which funds the children’s medical and dental expenses not covered by insurance.

Kurn Hattin provides all routine and necessary medical treatments for children regardless of the children’s insurance coverage status. It’s a large and

growing burden on the Homes’ budget every year.

Kurn Hattin’s Family Outreach Department works with families to obtain and remain insured but sometimes the policies lapse, or the families are ineligible or have lost their jobs. Besides Vermont children, youngsters from neighboring states often don’t have coverage that crosses state lines.

“We thank the Entergy Foundation for partnering with us in providing the best of care for the children in our community. Kurn Hattin Homes is a residential, year-round, charitable home and school for in-need and at-risk children, ages 6-15, from throughout the Northeast,” said Chris Barry of Kurn Hattin.

Museum to celebrate slate belt’s Italian heritage GRANVILLE, N.Y.—On Sunday, June 13, Celest DiPietropaolo and his wife Marie DiCocco present an afternoon of Italian village music and dance at the Slate Valley Museum, 1:30-4:30 p.m. Their educational performance, with an emphasis on southern Italian culture, is free and open to the public through grant funding from the New York Council on the Humanities and the Shepard Broad Foundation.

Since 1983, DiPietropaolo’s research has taken him to the mountains of southern, central, and northern Italy, including Sardinia. The couple, who lived in Italy for three years, teaches dances that are still a living part of community and family festivals and rituals in the mountain villages today.

To encourage descendants of Italian immigrants to rediscover their music and dance heritage, the first section of the pair ’s presentation includes video clips from their field studies and a short concert with Celest playing organetto and Marie playing guitar and tamburello. In the second session, they involve the audience through participation in simple dances and singing traditional songs.

“Our main reason for being in the education business, as opposed to the entertainment business, is to try to ignite a fervor in Americans, especially those of Italian ancestry, for understanding and hopefully practicing the Italian music and dance traditions that their distant cousins in Italy are still practicing today,” says DiPietropaolo. He distinguishes these circle, line, and couple dances from stage entertainment typified by choreography and costumes.

DiPietropaolo has exhibited traditional music at major festivals in the Washington, D.C. area, including those sponsored by the Smithsonian Institution, Folklore Society of Washington, and the Italian Embassy. He has been teaching Italian traditional dances since 1984 all over the United States, including Florida Folk Dance Camp, Friends of International Folk Dance Weekend in New Orleans, Annual Mendocino Folklore Camp, Annual Chicago Festival of Folk Dance, and Folklore Village Farm.

DiCocco spent most of her formative years traveling as part of a U.S. Air Force family. As a young child, she grew up hearing the sounds of Italian and German music in her family, along with other ethnic music, which her parents enjoyed. While attending Catholic University in Washington, D.C., she also began her study of the accordion and played for musical theatre throughout the Washington area. From 1976 to 1990 she arranged music for and played with a contemporary liturgical music group in Silver Spring, Maryland. From 1983 to 1995 she performed regularly with the Washington Schrammel Quartet. In 1983 she met Celest while playing in the orchestra for a community theatre performance, and began assisting him with his planning, research, and analysis of Italian traditional music. The couple recently moved to Vermont.

Many Italian immigrants (mainly from southern Italy) came to the Slate Valley around the turn of the 20th century. Along with them came immigrants from Poland and Slovakia, all

unskilled at slate quarrying and slate roofing production, but filling the need for a huge labor force in the region’s booming slate industry. Many skilled Welsh and Irish slate quarry workers had been recruited by Yankee landowners in the mid to late 1800s because they knew how to make and apply roofing slate. By the 1890s, Eastern European Jews joined the mix to provide goods and services to the small quarry towns and rural communities throughout the Slate Valley.

Each year the Slate Valley Museum produces a season of exhibits and public programs, many of which focus on immigration. With a major grant of $13,845 from the New York Council for the Humanities and a grant of $5,000 from the Shepard Broad Foundation, the museum has produced a packed schedule of scholarly public programs for its 2010 15th Anniversary Season, which runs through December. “Cultural Expressions of the Slate Valley” is the theme for lectures and performances in music, dance, storytelling, and poetry that demonstrate the traditional cultures of immigrants who came to the local slate region from Ireland, Italy, Poland, Slovakia, and Wales between the 1840s and the 1940s.

For a copy of the museum’s calendar of exhibits, public programs, and events, call the museum at 518-6421417, or visit its website at www.slatevalleymuseum.org. Regular museum hours are Tuesday through Friday, 1-5 p.m., and Saturday, 10 a.m.-4 p.m. The facility is fully handicapped accessible and air conditioned.

Politician with a soaring passion

By Sarah Brown Special to New Market Press For Vermont Rep. Janice Peaslee, a single piece of plasticsymbolizes the culmination of nearly a decade of work: her private pilot certificate.

Peaslee earned her certificate in November 2009. She was the oldest student pilot the examiner had taken on a checkride, but she dismisses age as irrelevant—she won’t even mention the number.

Peasleee practically runs up and down the stairs in the Vermont State House between committee hearings, floor votes, and other business. When the assembly is in session, she commutes 90 minutes each way to Montpelier from her home in Guildhall, near the New Hampshire border. She owns a farm that sells potatoes throughout the Northeast. And for the past year, she kept two instructors busy flying with her, sometimes three or four hours a day.

“I don’t recognize my age, and nobody else needs to either,” she said. She explained later, “Just because you’re in your seventies doesn’t mean you can’t get out and do things. Age is just a number.”

Peaslee began flying as a way to cope with grief after her husband died in 1999. She discovered a passion for it, and over the next nine years met the challenges of ground school, endured a 17-month hiatus for an engine overhaul, and practiced until she was sure she would far exceed the practical test standards. Now she pulls the certificate from her wallet and shows it to her colleagues in the state house, pointing out Wilbur and Orville Wright on the back.

“It’s the most gorgeous thing I could ever think of,” she said, beaming.

Vermont Tax Commissioner Rich Westman, who served with Peaslee in the House for 21 years before taking his current post, said a colleague was at Newport State Airport in Orleans County a while back when he saw an airplane taking off with no one in the pilot’s seat.

“He said, ‘There’s nobody in that plane!’” Westman recounted. The representative then saw a puff of hair and realized—it must be Janice.

Peaslee’s pilot certificate lists her at 4 feet, 10 inches, but she said she hasn’t bothered to check her height herself. When you stand up and you’re not much taller than the people sitting down, you find other ways to assert yourself, she said.

Over the past year, Peaslee has kept two instructors busy flying with her in her Cessna 150. "She would fly for hours if you let her," said instructor Natalie Brunetto.Over the past year, Peaslee has kept two instructors busy flying with her in her Cessna 150. “She would fly for hours if you let her,” said instructor Natalie Brunetto.

Of her 22 years in the legislature, Peaslee has spent 21 in the transportation committee. Peaslee’s tireless devotion to transportation issues has had tangible results. Peaslee called everyone she could think of for 15 years to reconnect Vermont and New Hampshire by rebuilding a bridge, and the states finally worked together to cross the Connecticut River with a new bridge. They named it the Janice Peaslee Bridge in honor of her efforts. And just this month, Peaslee reported a bill that will allow heavy trucks to use the state’s interstate highway system. It

was the highlight of her month, she said.

She is a fierce defender of the transportation budget, and Westman, who was formerly the chair of the committee, said she understands the importance of small airports in a way that many lawmakers do not.

“None of us dared to touch the aviation budget” with Peaslee defending it, he said. Peaslee is scrappy, he added.

Vermont State Rep. Janice Peaslee.

Discovering a passion Before 2000, Peaslee’s only experience in airplanes was taking commercial flights while traveling with her husband, Bert. It was an experience the two enjoyed sharing, whether they were on a trip to Cancun or doing business in Denver.

Bert introduced Janice to the world of Vermont politics by getting her involved in his own political positions. He taught her about agriculture at the family farm, Peaslee’s Vermont Potatoes.

After many years together, his death in 1999 hit her hard.

Janice looked for a way to cope with the grief, and in 2000 she decided to look into learning to fly. It was an undertaking that would honor the activity she had enjoyed with her husband but be different from it. It would help her move forward and still cherish the memory of her husband.

“You look forward to every flight, and when you get back the first thing you do is check the weather” for the next flight, she said. Flying after that was not just a hobby; it was a passion.

“There’s nothing in the last 10 years that’s delighted her any more than flying,” Westman said. “… A lot of us worried about her (after her husband died), but no worry any more.”

Challenges Peaslee is a fierce defender of the transportation budget and funding for small airports. She came to aviation with experience as a mother and a politician; she had taken none of the college courses that would lay the foundation for learning principles of aerodynamics, weather, or geometry. Undaunted, she started ground school in 2001 and advanced chapter by chapter through the unfamiliar topics in the FAA handbooks.

She took the same approach to flying. She started training with Kelly with no concern about the hours she would log before she achieved a certificate. She didn’t just want to meet the standards; she wanted to exceed them. “Number of hours or length of time isn’t as important as meeting the challenge, sticking with it,” she said.

Kelly, Peaslee, and others formed a flying club to buy and train in a Cessna 150. Peaslee gradually bought others’ shares in the airplane until she owned it, and when Kelly began instructing in Nashua, N.H., two hours away, she took the airplane there to continue her training with him. When he moved away for a medical helicopter job, she continued training with other instructors: one for the weekends and another during the week.

Even if the weather was marginal, Peaslee drove the two hours to Nashua to see if she could fly. If the weather didn’t pan out,

she simply drove back home. When she did get to fly, she relished every minute of it. Natalie Brunetto, who instructed Peaslee on weekends and evenings, said Peaslee would sometimes fly three or four hours a day and never seemed to tire. “She would fly for hours if you let her,” she said.

Triumph After she had become proficient in most of the tasks she would need on her practical test, Peaslee still struggled with consistently identifying landmarks for navigation. She would sometimes fail to see the whole picture or be too quick to think she was lost, her instructors said. They decided to wean her slowly from relying on instructors’ help with navigation.

“All of a sudden something just clicked,” said Trevor Smith, who instructed Peaslee on weekdays. She went out for a solo one day and had everything figured out. And when Smith accompanied her on a cross-country to Sanford, Maine, she flew a textbook flight. In two weeks, she had navigation down pat, Smith said. By the time she went for her checkride, Peaslee was almost overprepared. Smith was at the flight school when Peaslee returned from her checkride.

“I saw her come in with a big grin on her face and thought it must have gone well.”

Family With 150 representatives and 30 senators, the Vermont legislature is small enough to feel like an extended family. Their political views may vary, but legislators are there for one another in times of tragedy and triumph. “Politics gets out of the way then,” Peaslee said. Her fellow legislators comforted her when her husband died, and they have shared in her excitement over achieving her pilot certificate.

She’s offered rides to colleagues in the legislature, with one stipulation: She never flies without full fuel. That means her heavier colleagues may have an incentive to meet their New Year’s resolutions, or else wait until she flies a larger a “It’s just awesome,” she said. “… Once you get bit, you have to fly.”

The absolute latest in educational reform

I

t turns out, in researching for this week’s column, that I had remembered a quote about church education incorrectly: “Bring us the child at seven and we’ll have him for life.” The correct quote, from St. Francis Xavier, said, “Give me the child for the first seven years and I’ll give you the man.”

Either way, in my own case, I’m a product of public education; like my peers, I can’t quite figure out what’s happened to it since those primitive days of grotesquely large class sizes, abusive teacher-administered discipline, obsessive focus on basics, humiliating mandatory chalkboard performances, constant testing, and, of course, bring-yourown-lunch-to-school-or-starve-at-noon.

One clue comes from the eminently quoteable Albert Shanker, erstwhile president of the American Federation of Teachers: “When school children start paying union dues, that’s when I’ll start representing the interest of school children.”

Less well known: “A lot of people who have been hired as teachers are basically not competent” and never-evenoffered, any Shankerism on modern students who succeed at refusing to learn anything that can be written on a chalkboard by “tuning out”, a skill even some adults can master. His comment on the public education system— ”we’ve got a lemon factory and it’s turning out 80-85 percent lemons”— isn’t shared by modern educators (think Rutland superintendent Moran) who proclaim their “excellence” as a daily talking point, and it’s factually inaccurate: the non-proficiency rate in math and reading isn’t any more than a mere average 67 percent, according to the Federal National Assessment of Educational Progress tests, which are so despised by educators that all States except one have adopted their own purchased substitutes, on which their students produce remarkably better results.

From this states-rights-in-testing demand, you might assume that educators similarly oppose national curriculum standards, but you’d be wrong.

They’re (we’re) in favor, says National Education Association President Dennis van Roekel, commenting on the most recent of a series of “reforms” installed to make up for the bad old days of my youth, when we actually memorized multiplication tables, Shakespearean quotes, and historical dates for future reference. Think reform/innovations like new math, creative selling, the multi-graded classroom (old one-room schools not included, thank you) and, in some lucky districts, the campaign against phonics for reading and for Ebonics for speech. I caught his comments on C-Span, where he produced some Roekelisms of near-Shankerian proportions. Here’s one: present budget constraints are producing “classrooms of 40-45 students across the country”. Gloriosky, Zero, why even in the horrific old days of my desks-nailed-to-the-floor youth, I never saw a classroom with more than six rows of six-deskchair combinations in each, and rarely more than 30 of the 36 seats filled.

A California teacher-constituent called in to offer enthusiastic agreement, offering his own economic assessment of the Golden State’s post-Proposition 13 funding-deprived schools: “…taxpayers worry too much about their private wallets and not enough about their social wallets.”

If you need a more analytical study of the subject, try author Robert Kuttner; his book-length study is aptly entitled “The Revolt of the Haves”. It offers the same conclu-

sion: willfully inadequate taxpayer performance.

To be fair and balanced ( a little lingua Vulpinorum there) here’s a Roekelism which, like some of the above Shankerisms, so easy to comprehend that even a parent can do it: an ardent plea for more parental involvement. Saint Francis would doubtless have approved; he said so indirectly. As I’ve reported in earlier columns in this space, I and my peers were intensively parentally pre-K’d in the bad old days, a grounding in the Three R’s which, it was later pointed out to us by contemporary educational professionals, was a grave child-raising error when we sought to do the same for our own kids a generation later. Mr. van Roekel chose not to discuss that teacher-to-parent don’t-even-think-about-preK-ing-your-kid demand of the ‘60s (now thrown down the educational policy memory-hole for permanent it-neverhappened status) during his C-Span interview. Just an unfortunate shortage of on-air time, which I suppose he greatly regretted.

And here’s another Roekelism, so long and convoluted that I have space here only for a brief summary: as the NEA Prez, he offers his fervent support for this Educational Reform: teacher evaluation based on student achievement, as was recently voted in by his District of Columbia chapter membership. The D.C. schools are statistically famous for the clear relationship they demonstrate between spending and achievement (unfortunately, it’s an inverse one, but we won’t review that in detail) and less well known for the Capitol Hill and White House parents who, fearing abusive over-crowding (average class size in D.C. is lowest in the nation at 10, but clearly still tragically under-staffed) have reluctantly exercised school choice: to seek private instruction for their descendants instead of the Horace Mann model. The DC teachers, it turns out, are so enthusiastic about performance-based evaluation that they’re delighted to throw years-of-experience and degrees-accumulated salary-step design under the bus, payscale-wise, and are eager to do so for a mere $81 thousand average annual salary, a modest 21 percent increase from the present $67K or so. Efficiency and productivity have their price, and they’re (we’re) worth it.

A day later, another educator showed up on C-Span: Paula Verger, president and CEO of the Public Broadcasting System. She opined at some length on her visits to classrooms where—oh, the inhumanity!—chairs and desks were still archaically arranged in rows, and on the essential necessity of re-arranging the (deck) chairs (on the educational RMS Titanic, I wondered?) so that children could learn via electronic game technology in collaborative mode. But then I tuned out. It was so easy even a parent could do it.

“For Rid

The 11th Annual Roots on the River music festival runs from Thursday to Sunday, June 10 to 13, at several venues in the Greater Bellows Falls/Rockingham area. This year's festival includes Beausoleil, the Dave Bromberg Quartet, Mary Gauthier, Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams, several other performers, and of course headliner Fred Eaglesmith. Eaglesmith has had a banner year with country superstars Alan Jackson and Miranda Lambert both recording versions of classic Eaglesmith songs. For a full schedule and lineup for this year's festival, visit www.rootsontheriver.com. player. Doesn’t matter much about the song. That’s the present era. And I can’t stand the boy singers.

There’s a lot of boy singers right now. I find this Latin music and I just listen to it.

I’ve been into bossa nova a long time.

JP: Cha Cha Cha is out.

Sounds like you’ve been experimenting in the chemistry lab. What was the vibe you were going for? Any banjo bossa nova tunes?

FJE: I think there might be a little banjo playing in it.

We’re not going to be true to the genre. That’s religion.

”

Fun & Games

JP: Staying in the confines.

FJE: Yeah, staying in the confines. Doing what they want you to. It gets less and less relevant what we do...so it turns more into lifestyle, which is almost more interesting to me these days than what I do?

JP: So where do you think Cha Cha Cha will take you?

FJE: I think I’ll get some flak over it. I don’t think it will take me anywhere. I’m not looking to go anywhere.

JP: Will it open new audiences to you?

FJE: They’re opening anyway. Doors open, doors close. So I’m at a stage in my career where I follow the economy.

JP: The roller coaster ride?

FJE: It’s the changing of the decade. It always changes. It goes back farther than I remember or studied.

I was really sad to see the ‘90s go because that was a good time for music. We need a clean sweep here. We need a cultural tsunami [laughs]. And it might wipe me out. I was wiped out in the early ‘80s. I might have to go get a job. So, what?

Tribute Artistry Monuments Offers Special Skills Story by Joe Milliken, photos by Mary Moeykens Located on Route 5 in North Ascutney, Tribute Artistry Monuments specializes in the design, carving, etching and lettering of uniquely personalized memorials and monuments.

Tribute Artistry was established in 2002 by a unique artist and Vermont-native Aaron Fitzherbert, a 1986 graduate of Montserrat College of Art who apprenticed under renowned sculptor Frank Gaylord.

Now with over 24 years of experience in the art of creating and restoring monuments, memorials, markers, field stones, lettering, cleanings and restorations, Fitzhebert offers a wide range of options, services and techniques to create and maintain these treasured memorials and memories.

"It's our local families that have come to us for their family memorials, that hold they key to our success," Aaron said. "Many families have returned to us for second and third memorial orders and that says it all for us."

Not only does Tribute Artistry design and produce family memorials, but also beautiful outdoor sculptures, as well as pet memorials, which have become very popular with families.

Aaron is currently working on a unique monument, a Veterans Memorial to be

placed at the Perkinsville Green in Weathersfield. The monument is replacing an original monument that once stood at the intersection of Route 5 and Route 131 in Ascutney, but was removed in the early 1960s during the construction of Interstate 91.

The art of blacksmithing Story and Photos by Robert F. Smith Grafton Forge on School Street in Grafton Grafton Forge celebrated its Grand Opening over Memorial Day Weekend. Under the direction of noted blacksmith Adam Howard, the shop has undergone a transformation from seasonal attraction to a regional center for the preservation, promotion and education of the art of blacksmithing. The forge presents varied programs and educational

workshops for both children and adults year round now.

Beginning with a ribbon cutting ceremony on May 29 by Windham Foundation president John Bramley, the weekend consisted of day long demonstrations by the shop’s staff as well as other regional blacksmiths.

Grafton Forge was part of the Vermont Craft Council’s Open Studio Tour stops as well.

Vt. Legislature: a year of questionable performance visited again, as early as next year.

The legislature agreed to bond $10 million for a new mental health facility for the 15 most difficult or dangerous patients.

The federally-decertified Vermont State Hospital has been a costly sinkhole for a decade, mainly because the bureaucracy cannot conceive of "treatment" that does not involve "facilities" staffed by certified professionals and unionized workers.

One bright spot was the disappearance in the Senate of the House passed-bill to force Entergy to set millions aside to restore the Vermont Yankee site in Vernon to the "greenfield" condition once enjoyed by the Abenakis. The next legislature will come to grips with the need of Vermont businesses, farms, schools, governments and ratepayers for Yankee's 285 Mw of reliable, bargain-priced base load electricity. As one observer was heard to say, “If they don't, you'll know who to blame for Vermont’s brownouts.”

Another bright spot was the disappearance of the shopworn mandatory seat belt bill. Both chambers did agree on a texting while driving ban on under-18 drivers, and primary seat belt enforcement for them only. If the police abuse this provision, only non-voting teenagers will feel the brunt of it.

One “ugly” provision was the passage of Sen. Racine's latest government health care takeover bill. This politically motivated proposal will shell out yet another quarter million dollars to yet another consultant to design three more plans, all of them coercive, bureaucratic, expensive, and destructive of our health care providers. This issue will be fought again starting in January.

The other really “ugly” provision was a voluntary redistricting measure for public schools, supposedly in the name of cost efficiency (undocumented and highly dubious). The parents in every school district whose voters agree for it to join a new Regional Education District, other than a remarkable mega-district that operates no schools at all, will find that their cherished educational choices have been handed over to the regional educrats who view parental choice as a mortal threat to their careers and job security.

Tuition towns will be allowed to go it alone and keep their parental choice, but continual official pressure and the enticement of property tax rate reductions will eventually extinguish, rather than expand, this popular Vermont practice.

The 2010 legislative outcome was, as usual, a mixed bag.

Let's hope that next biennium there will be a lot less of the bad and the ugly.

That of course will depend on the men and women Vermont voters elect this November.

Vt. seniors to receive Medicare checks With the first checks to be mailed on June 10, people in Medicare Part D who reach the prescription drug coverage gap or “doughnut hole” this year will automatically receive a rebate of $250 to help with their drug costs and other expenses.

As part of the new health care law, the rebate check is the first step in the gradual closing of the doughnut hole, which will help make prescription drugs more affordable for people in Medicare Part D. Last year, nearly 9,000 Vermonter in Medicare hit this gap in coverage.

MONTPELIER—From the standpoint of preserving the state's solvency, making life easier for revenue-generating businesses, and defending our liberties, the 2010 legislature's work is a mixed bag of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Facing a $154 million deficit in January, the legislature produced what it claims is a balanced budget without broad based tax increases. In fact, in the face of Gov. Jim Douglas’ not so veiled veto threat, it even lightened the business tax burden by allowing many Vermont businesses to claim the full 9 percent domestic production credit against state taxes as well as federal. It also liberalized capital gains treatment for investments in Vermont businesses.

To reach a putatively balanced general fund budget, the legislators made changes in the two state retirement plans ($17 million), and continued a state employee pay freeze ($9 million). But the remainder of this apparent fiscal miracle contains two highly suspect elements.

Internal human service program changes are credited with

a $39 million spending reduction, and the "Challenges for Change" initiative is "assumed" to produce another $38 million. The former is too complicated to grasp, and the latter— amusingly touted by Douglas as "reforming government"— is highly speculative.

The "Challenges" effort was conceived as a way of streamlining state government and thereby saving money without reducing any programs or services. The $38 million in "assumed" savings put forth by the highly overpaid consultants last January was apparently based on no analysis at all. Next January, when another $122 million in savings must be found, be prepared to hear that much of the "assumed" Challenge for Change savings failed to materialize, and it was the other guy's fault.

Perhaps the most notable achievement, other than avoiding a veto battle, was putting the Unemployment Insurance program back on track, after recession-incurred payouts drove it well into the red. Businesses saw their taxable wage base rise from $8,000 to $16,000 (in 2012); unemployed workers saw their benefits delayed a week, and then frozen at the present $425 a week maximum. This issue will have to be re-

three innings and couldn't get that one more "big hit" needed to get back in the game.

Junior fireballer Jason Albert got the start and took the tough-luck loss for the Chiefs but probably deserved a better fate. Despite walking six and hitting a batter, Albert threw 5-and-2/3 strong innings while giving up just four hits and striking out nine. Albert also led the Green Mountain offense with three hits, while Strohmeyer picked up the only RBI for Green Mountain, who finishes their impressive season with a 16-4 record, while Leland & Gray (16-2) moved on to face No. 1 seed Northfield (16-1).

In a recent, opening-round match up in the Divison III state tournament, the No. 5-seeded Green Mountain Union High School baseball team knocked off No. 12 Enosburgh, 156 at Paul Adams Field in Chester. The win put the Chieftains record at 15-3, heading into a second round match up against defending state champion Leland & Gray.

The big inning for Green Mountain came in the bottom of the third inning when they scored six two-out runs, which turned out to be the difference.

The Chiefs would get three more in the fourth on a two-run hit from Logan Little and a run-scoring single from Justin Veysey to essentially put the game away. Mike Cavacas got the start and win for the Chieftains.

The offense was led by several, with Veysey, Little, TJ Slade, Colton Howard, Ethan Albert and Dominic Strohmeyer all collecting two hits each. Cody Couture started for Enosburgh and took the loss.

-------------------In the second round against the two-time, defending state champion Leland & Gray Rebels, the Chieftains went toe-to-toe with the champs and only down a run in the fifth, before the Rebels got two insurance runs on in the bottom of the fifth inning on a bloopsingle to center field from Trevor Howe to make it 3-0.

To the Chiefs credit they fought back, scoring a run in the top of the sixth on an RBIsingle from Dominic Strohmeyer, but they also left four runners on base over the final

It is playoff time again for spring high school sports, and numerous Rutland County teams were competing last weekend in quest of that rare treasure for the high school athlete, a state championship. Below you will find a wrap up of who was still alive, and how they fared this past weekend.

SOFTBALL The softball playoffs began the week of June 1 and last weekend were in their quarterfinals round. The semifinals were to be play this past week (our deadline for this paper was last Monday morning) with the state championships scheduled for this weekend. Here is your breakdown for Rutland County teams.

Division I: The Rutland Raiders, the counties only division I team was still alive at our deadline. The sixth seeded Raiders defeated the eleventh seeded Champlain Valley Union Redhawks I the opening round, and were supposed to face the third seeded Missisiquoi Valley Thunderbirds in the semifinals last Saturday. That game however was rained out and rescheduled for this past Monday. Oh that Vermont weather.

Division II: Last years state champions, the Otter Valley Otters are still in the hunt for a repeat title. The second seeded Otters advanced to the semifinals with a 6-3 win over the seventh seeded Springfield Cosmos last Saturday’s quarterfinal game played in Brandon. Meranda Bassette banged out a pair of hits, including a double and drove in two run t lead the Otters offense. She was aided by Michaela Harrington who stole three bases and scored twice for the Otters. Meanwhile, Kaylee Tinson took care of the Cosmos bats, allowing three runs on five hits and striking out nine in seven innings of work.

Sarah Vredenburg and Emily Graham had two hits each for Springfield, who finish the year at 8-10.. Ashley Richardson took the loss for the Cosmos.

The Otters had a semifinal date with the sixth seeded Lamoille Lancers, who were coming off a quarterfinal upset win over the third seeded Middlebury Tigers. If the Otters pulled that one out, which was to be played this past Tuesday, they will get a shot at repeating their state title this weekend.

Lamoille eliminated the only other Rutland County team, the eleventh seeded Fair Haven Slaters, in the opening round.

Division III: The fifth seeded Mill River Minutemen were the lone Rutland County representative in this division. They advanced to the quarterfinals last weekend by defeating the twelfth seeded Windsor Yellow Jackets in the opening round. They then traveled to Townshend last Saturday to take on the fourth seeded Leland and Gray Rebels in the quarterfinals, and were eliminated from the tournament with a 5-2 loss.

Chelsea Cox went 2-for-2 at the plate with a run and an RBI while Aly Marcucci banged out an RBI double to pace the Rebels offense in a game that saw very little offense.

Nicole Sherman earned the win on the hill by turning in a superb performance. Sherman allowed two run on just five hits with eight strikeouts. Amanda Ley, who also turned in a solid performance, took the loss for Minutemen, who finish their season at 13-5. Lay allowed five runs on five hits with seven strikeouts.

Division IV: In this division the ninth seeded Proctor Phantoms and twelfth seeded West Rutland Golden Horde were eliminated in the opening. The Phantoms lost to Canaan, while the Horde were eliminated by the fifth seeded Blue Mountain Bucks. The sixth seeded Poultney Blue Devils however advanced to the quarterfinals by dispatching the eleventh seeded Arlington Eagles in the opening round.

The Blue Devils then scored five runs in the first two innings last Saturday, and held on from there to upset the third seeded Twinfield Trojans 8-5 in the quarterfinals. Kelsey Brown and Laura Lyle smacked doubles for Poultney’s offense, who capitalized on nine Twinfield errors. On the hill winning pitcher Emma Lamberton allowed five runs on nine hits with six walks and two strikeouts.

Lamberton’s counterpart Emily Berkeley had a great day at the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double and an inside-thepark home run. On the mound she recorded five strikeouts, issued one walk and gave up five hits. Bryanna duPont went

RUTLAND TRIBUNE / OUTLOOK - 15

WEDNESDAY June 9, 2010 3-for-4 with two doubles.

Twinfield ends the season at 12-4, while Poultney had a semifinal date with the second seeded South Royalton Royals this past Tuesday. If they managed another upset then they will find themselves competing for a division IV state championship this weekend.

BASEBALL The baseball playoffs also began the week of June 1st and last weekend were in their quarterfinals round. The semifinals were to be played this past week (our deadline for this paper was last Monday morning) with the state championships scheduled for this weekend. Here is your breakdown for Rutland County teams.

Division I: The twelfth seeded Rutland Raiders were eliminated in the opening round. They wre eliminated by the fifth seeded Mount Mansfield Cougars on Wednesday, June 2.

Division II: Of the three division II Rutland County teams who entered the tournament, only the Mill River Minutemen survived to reach last weekend’s quarterfinals. The ninth seeded Fair Haven Slaters and the eleventh seeded Otter Valley Otters were knocked out in the opening round. The Otters were blanked by the sixth seeded Woodstock Wasps 7-0 on Tuesday, June 1st. The Slaters were eliminated the same afternoon by the Springfield Cosmos.

The second seeded Mill River Minutemen dispatched the fifteenth seeded Lamoille Lancers in the opening round.

Then, in the quarterfinals they hosted the tenth seeded Milton Yellow Jackets last Friday night.

Milton, who was coming off an opening round upset, proved to provide very little challenge to Mill River hurler Ryan Hammond. Hammond shutout the hapless Yellow Jackets. Mill River ’s offense, led by Joey Beland who hit a two-run homer, posted nine runs to easily win their quarterfinal match-up 9-0.

Anthony Campbell paced what meager offense Milton did prouduce. Campbell had a pair of hits, including a double.

Nick Ferguson pitched 4 2/3 innings in taking the loss for Milton who wind their season up at 7-11. The Minutemen were to face the third seeded Burr and Burton Bulldogs this past Tuesday. If they pulled that one out then they will be playing for a division II state championship this weekend.

Division III The eleventh seeded Poultney Blue Devils were the only Rutland County team in the field for this tournament, and they didn’t last very long. The Blue Devils were eliminated in the opening round, on Tuesday, June 1st by a sixth seeded Oxbow squad.

Division IV No Rutland County teams reached the quarterfinals in di-

vision IV baseball this year.

BOYS AND GIRLS LACROSSE The lacrosse playoffs, both boys and girls, also began the week of June 1st and last weekend were in their quarterfinals round. The semifinals were to be played this past week (our deadline for this paper was last Monday morning) with the state championships scheduled for this weekend. Here is your breakdown for Rutland County teams.

Division I Boys: The fourth seeded Rutland Raiders got an opening round buy and then hosted the fifth seeded Woodstock Wasps last Saturday in the quarterfinals. Rutland bult up a commanding 5-1 lead in this one, and then survived a Woodstock comeback, hanging on to win 5-4. David Kraus led the Rutland attack with two goals while .Jordan Aquistapace and Andrew Boyle contributed a goal and an assist each for the victorious Raiders. In the net Rutland goalie David Morgan made 10 critical saves. Alex Melville scored twice and Tyler Hogstrom had eight saves for Woodstock who finish their year at 11-7. Rutland was scheduled to play the top seeded Champlain Valley Union Redhawks in the semifinals this past Tuesday. If they pulled off the upset in that one then they will be competing for a division I state championship this weekend.

Division I Girls: Just like the boys the Rutland Raider girls earned the fourth seed and an opening round bye. They then hosted the fifth seeded Spaulding Crimson Tide last Friday night in the quarterfinals, and eliminated them with an 18-6 drubbing.

Narisa Kiefaber tallied an impressive seven goals to lead the onslaught. Grace Wright contributed another three goals and three assists. Kate Kurchna also registered a ha trck. In the net Rutland goalie Colleen Hunt made 10 saves.

Michela Smith scored three goals, Anna Johnson had two in defeat for Spaulding. and Hayley Waters scored their only other goal.. The Raiders were scheduled to face the top seeded Mount Anthony Patriots his past Tuesday, hoping to pull off the upset and find a spot in this weekend’s state championship game.

Division II Boys: No Rutland County teams made it past the opening round in this division. The only two teams in the field from this county were eliminated in the opening round. The thirteenth seeded Mount Saint Joseph Mounties were eliminated by the fourth seeded Union-32 Raiders on Wednesday, June 3. The very same afternoon the Otter Valley Otters were being eliminated by the fifth seeded Green Mountain Chieftains.

Division II Girls: There were no Rutland County teams in the playoff field for this division.

Castleton’s tournament run ends versus Oneonta State AUBURN, N.Y.—The Castleton State College baseball team’s historic season came to an end in May at the hands of Oneota State as the Spartans fell to the Red Dragons 9-2 in the Auburn Regional of the 2010 NCAA Division III Baseball Championship at Falcon Park.

Oneonta State (31-12) broke a scoreless tie in the fourth inning with a pair of runs of CSC’s Ted Mills at bat.

Castleton starter Seth Harrington (Bennington). Scott Dubben (Roseboom, N.Y.) delivered a run-scoring single, and Steve Gauck (Clifton Park, N.Y.) drove in a run with a sacrifice fly to cap the Red Dragon inning.

The Spartans answered with an unearned run in the bottom of the inning, and one more in the fifth as Billy Manley (Lowell, Mass.) singled and came around to score on a Garrett Bissonnette (Lyman, Maine) single through the right side.

But, Castleton allowed three unearned runs over the next two innings to stake the Red Dragons to a 5-2 lead through six. Harrington pitched 5.2 innings, allowing five runs (two earned) on seven hits while striking out one. Tyler Erickson (Naugatuck, Conn.) got the Spartans out of the sixth, after surrendering an RBI-single to Carmin Caputo (Mahopac, N.Y.).

After pitching a scoreless seventh, and retiring the first two batters he faced in the eighth, Ken Cook (Springfield, Vt.) ran into trouble. Cook walked Caputo, gave up a single to Kevin Knack (Ghent, N.Y.), a two-run double to Dan Randall (Salem, N.Y.) and a run-scoring double to Michael Center (Schenectady, N.Y.) before getting out of the inning.

Ken Smith (Ossining, N.Y.) picked up the win, tossing five innings, allowing two runs (one earned) on nine hits and one walk while fanning two. Christopher Smith (Colonie, N.Y.) struck out four and allowed just three hits over the final four innings to earn the save.

Manley finished 3-for-5 with a run scored, while Ted Mills (Stockbridge, Vt.), Jack Lancelin (Chatham, N.Y.) and Bissonnette each collected two hits.

Randall led the Red Dragons with three RBI, going 2-for-4 with two runs scored.

Castleton’s season ends at 34-16, the best mark in programhistory.
