SHS presents “The Crucible” By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com ThereÕ s always something exciting about being in the audience of a high-school dramatic production. Perhaps it stems from my own highschool memories of variety shows and one-act dramas or it may be the energy levels of young actors eager to turn in the performance of their budding stage Ò careersÓ ? Who knows, but in the case of Springfield High School, thereÕ s always something for an audience member to anticipate on stage. Of course not every high school student is moved to pursue a career in the theater artsÑ itÕ s a rough road to follow, but a few, I am sure, will get the performance bug after being involved with the excellent SHS Drama Club. Even if a SHS dramatic alumnus didnÕ t go on to appear in a local community theater show, SHS has done its part to offer excitement in the local stage arts. For example, last yearÕ s SHS spring production of “How to Succeed in Business...Ó was a delight. The student cast was well rehearsed and the performances were better than ever. Throughout the school year, the SHS Drama Club keeps busy honing its collective stagecraft skillsÑ that knowledge is passed on to the next crop of rising student actors. Even the SHS prop crew deserves mention here for their seemingly endless creative ability to produce cool sets that look great, even if manufactured on a low budget. But SHS Drama Club isn’t just a little local high school drama. This high school club has been noted by school drama clubs around Vermont. In fact, 2011Õ s Vermont State Drama Club will be hosted by SHS in April; that’s a nice bit of recognition for a very dedicated group of teens. So, never shying from a dramatic challenge, the SHS ...Turn to page 2 to read more on this drama

Helping Maxx: Riders raise funds for 5-year-old The West Rutland ATV Sportsman’s Club held a special benefit ride for Maxxwell Broderick, 5, recently. WRASC invited Vermont ATV Sportsman’s Club members from across the state to the Danby Dutch Hill Trail System for a day of riding, food, caring, and fun. Each rider made a donation to ride as well as several of the atv clubs from across the state made club donations to the fund. Ò We were very proud and impressed at the generosity of our fellow atv riders and enthusists,Ó according to Ray Cole Jr. WRASC president. “WRASC was able to raise about $1500 for Maxxwell’s family.” Broderick is a 5-year-old boy who was a victim of a drunk driving accident in Orwell last year. He is paralized from the arms down and is now home from the hospital; he will require alot of medical attention throughout his growing years. Ò We were introduced to his family this summer and we adoped them for our outreach projects we do each year. We hope that the money raised will make it easier for the family to afford the trips to doctor locally and in Boston that Maxxwell requires,” Cole said. ...Turn to page 2 to read more on Maxx Broderick

Good Neighbors: needed now more than ever By Lou Varricchio

newmarketpress@denpubs.com ItÕ s Thanksgiving time and many of VermontÕ s less fortunate emerge from the shadows to seek help in giving thanks with all the trimmings. But while many will not ask for help, remaining in the shadows even during the holiday season, one local service organization will be there to help. This organization—Black River Good Neighbors ServicesÑ plays a valuable support role for those residents who are in need of food and clothing for the holidays and beyond. Audrey Bridge, who spends many busy days coordinating volunteers while answering thrift shop customAudrey Bridge of the Black River Good Neighbors Services stands er questions at Black River Good Neighbors Services before a crowded food shelf at the agency’s old location in Lud- in Ludlow, helped coordinate a big move to the tank low.

Bridge oversees the non-profit agency that provides confidential, temporary food, clothing and financial assistance to those in need to help them return to selfsufficiency. The agency serves Ludlow, Cavendish, Proctorsville, Mt. Holly and Plymouth. Originally housed in the Ludlow United Church, BRGNS moved when a building was donated to the agency by Neil Hammond in 1995. “But we outgrew the space in 15 years,” Bridge said. According to Bridge, the food shop and thrift shop are primary operations. “But we also provide rent, heat and other assistance for those who meet our guidelines,Ó she added. ...Turn to page 2 to read more on Good Neighbors
