Wanted: Edward Mullin RUTLAND—On March 19, the Vermont Drug Task Force with the assistance of the Rutland City Police Department and the Vermont State Police executed a search warrant at the residence of Edward Mullin, age 39, 35 Williams St. in Rutland.

The warrant concludes an investigation into the sale of crack cocaine and heroin from the residence by the Drug Task Force. Upon searching the residence, detectives located numerous bags of suspected crack cocaine and marijuana.

Kevin Ballard, age 22 (also known as “Swerve”), of Brooklyn, N.Y. was arrested during the search warrant for Poss. of Crack Cocaine and Poss. of Marijuana. He was lodged and Edward Mullin held for lack of bail. He was scheduled to appear in Rutland District Court March 22. Ballard’s portrait was not available at press time.

Edward Mullin, is wanted for multiple Sales of Crack Cocaine and Heroin. Anyone with information as to Mullin’s whereabouts is encouraged to call the Vermont State Police or the Rutland City Police Department.

From Tribune Staff & News Reports CASTLETON—The Theatre Arts and Music Departments at Castleton State College are collaborating to present “Jesus Christ Superstar”, a 1970s-era rock opera written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Not all Christians will enjoy this production, but for those willing to entertain some poetic license with the world’s greatest religious drama, the musical is worth a sitting.

Despite its secular trappings, it remains faithful to the true Christian message of love, forgiveness, and redemption.

The rock-opera is based on the last days of the Christ’s life, beginning with his arrival in Jerusalem, and ending with the crucifixion and resurrection.

The lyrics and music are decidedly contemporary and the plot

See CSC, page 8 The New Testament according to Jules Verne: CSC’s “Jesus Christ Superstar” cast includes Brette Tucker as Mary Magdelene, James Lorentz as Jesus, Morgan Bernhard as Judas.

GOP opens county HQ

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com RUTLAND—Rutland County Republicans got an early start to the 2010 campaign season by opening its Rutland County headquarters April 5. The high visibility office is located on the corner of Merchants Row and West Street in downtown Rutland. An informal kickoff was planned on opening night.

“It is fantastic to have the level of support we have to open our office early” said Bradford Broyles, the Grand Old Party’s Rutland County chairman.

“Our headquarters will serve as the people’s workplace with the common goal of supporting candidates who will work toward economic opportunity for all Vermonters,” said Vice Chairman Dwight Mcpherson.

The GOP’s Rutland County headquarters is tasked with supporting a dozen local house and senate races as well as the slate of statewide candidates.

“The election is only 217 days away” Broyles added. “It is imperative we spread the message of responsible governing from Brian Dubie all the way down the ticket to our house races. It’s exciting to have so many people involved this early in an election year, and just as exciting to have a great location to gather.”

‘Sunshine Run’ honors Brandon girl BRANDON—Members of the local running group See Mommy Run are organizing Brandon’s first officially timed road race, a 5k (3.1 mile) walk/run set for Saturday, May 8.

The race, named the Sunshine Run, is dedicated to Sarah Leary, a Brandon girl who died in a car accident last year. All proceeds will benefit the Sarah Leary Travel Fund.

Sarah’s lifelong dream was to adventure all around the world, exploring mountains, beaches, fields of flowers, coffee shops and bakeries.

In her own short life, Sarah had traveled the East Coast as well as taken grand excursions to Spain (via a Proctor High School trip), and to Switzerland, France and Italy.

The Sarah Leary Travel Fund was created to enable other high school students to travel on school-related trips, particularly those who might otherwise not participate because of financial constraints.

Sarah’s parents, Jim and Nancy Leary,

R. Brown & Sons

established the scholarship program in their daughter ’s name to keep her dream alive in the hearts of other youth. To date, thousands of dollars have been raised and several students are enjoying trips of a lifetime.

Organizers of the race hope to draw a huge crowd of avid runners/walkers and just those who’d like to enjoy a beautiful run or walk with other community members. All ages are welcome to participate.

The race begins and ends at Transfiguration Farm, just south of town on Union Street. The site is blessed with a Green Mountain backdrop and a gentle winding road that will serve as the race course. Food and live music awaits all participants at the finish line!

Come out and enjoy good health, joyful life and friends, May 8, at Transfiguration Farm. Race-day registration begins at 8:45, but racers are encouraged to register online at www.sunshinerun.com. Register before April 23 for a free T-shirt!

Identification tops for pets

We Buy ~ We Sell ~ We Trade ~ We Deliver

Make sure your pet has identification. Losing a pet is a very emotional thing. It's really important that all animals have identification so they can be returned to their owners.

An I.D. tag on your pet's collar is the easiest method.

The tag should include your name, address, telephone number and the pet's name. If there's extra space, the phone number of the veterinarian is also a good idea. If you move, make sure you get a new tag for your animal with your new contact information.

Pets can also be microchipped. Many humane societies and veterinarians have a scanner which identifies if an animal has a microchip.If there's a microchip, a phone call is made to identify the owner. Either way, please take a moment and check that your favorite pet has identification so you can get him back safe and sound in a hurry. If you have any questions, please call the Rutland County Humane Society at 483-6700.

“Seal of Quality” satire upsets some lawmakers

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com 65396

MONTPELIER—A Vermont-based libertarian political online blogsite has angered some Vermont legislators. The “Vermont Woodchuck” blogsite posted a doctored photograph of horse manure displaying the state's familiar seal of quality on April Fool’s Day, April 1.

The once popular seal of quality, which has appeared on maple syrup

and other packaged Vermont foods since 1982, will be retired soon, according to Agriculture Secretary Roger Allbee.

Albee told legislators last week that the seal has been suspended because it has been misued and was rendered meaningless. However, several state legislators have said that they want to fight to save the seal and retain on Vermont-made food products.

Albee noted that state’s seal of qual-

ity neither includes nor enforces specific standards and inspections; therefore, Albee said, the seal is meaningless to the state and useless to consumers as a guide.

According to the Vermont Woodchuck blogsite, the satirical seal of quality placed over an image of horse droppings is all about “the smell of manure eminating from under the capitol dome” and not about the state’s food products or food producers.

Social media outlets have completely revolutionized the way society communicates. This is all good and well until you realize the reach of the virtual realm.

Facebook status updates, tweets on Twitter and LinkedIn profile updates, specifically, are a gateway to mass communication and online citizens are often quick to publish whatever is on their minds. But, do you think about what you’re telling to whom?

Your online network tends to consist of more people than you might immediately think of—old high school classmates, former co-workers, frenemies, etc., so it’s advisable to be cautious of the content you throw out into cyberspace. That’s not to say you should keep personal, exciting news to yourself; but it’s important to consider how big your small talk can become.

Here are some tips on appropriate small talk tactics for your social networks.

1. Establish a purpose before you post and proliferate. Are you just announcing something or are you open to a dialog? If you want to let people know you’re taking

an exotic vacation, it’s better to engage your network. Try, “Just booked a ticket to India. Anyone have hotel or restaurant recommendations?”

2. Don’t over share. TMI (too much information) on the WWW is tasteless. When you share too much, people stop asking questions and it’s as if you’re simply looking for a reaction rather than a discourse.

3. Apply normal small talk rules. Primarily, avoid controversial topics (politics, religion, etc.) in such a diverse and public forum. If you feel compelled to stir up your social network, try posing a question, like, “What does everyone think about the new healthcare initia-

tive?” Your neutral headline will be less controversial and his will keep you within the boundaries of electronic etiquette.

4. Let people know about major, not minor, events in your life. Events like getting a new house, a marriage proposal, a college acceptance, a job promotion, the birth of a child, etc. are fine to share with the cyber community.

5. Don’t be so self-important. It’s fine to promote an accomplishment like getting an article published or a product you support, but keep sponsorships to a minimum. The lesson: self-endorsement can come across as self-indulgent.

VSP investigate teen sexual assault On March 16, the Vermont State Police Rutland Unit for Special Investigations received a report of a sexual assault of an anonymous 17-year-old Rutland-area female.

The subsequent investigation revealed that the reported offender, Clarendon resident Shelby Martin, was a 19-year-old male who was known to the victim. The investigation further revealed that, prior to the alleged assault, Martin refused to allow the victim to leave.

Martin was arraigned March 30 to Rutland District Court. It is unknown at this time if Martin was released from court on conditions or lodged at the Marble Valley Correctional Center.

Portraits of a medical oddity discovered

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com CAVENDISH—In 1848, Phineas Gage, a resident of Cavendish Village near Ludlow, made medical history. Within a few days, Gage went from being a promising railroad construction foreman to the focus of attention in the medical world. Now, two photographs, dating to the early 1850s, have been found; they are the first to show the face of the famous Vermonter—America’s most talked about medical oddity of the pre-Civil War era.

The recently uncovered daguerreotypes show Phineas Gage as he looked shortly after the construction accident that changed his life until his death in 1860.

The unique daguerreotypes are the only known surviving image of the famous man other than a plaster death mask.

The first image was uncovered a few years ago by a New Jersey couple; it was brought to the attention of the Harvard University Center for the History of Medicine and Smithsonian Institution only in late 2009.

As a respected constructed foreman, the 25-year-old Gage worked up and down the lines of the Rutland & Burlington Railroad—from south of Rutland and Ludlow, north to Middlebury and Burlington, and beyond. Always popular with the local girls, Gage cut a handsome profile in the bustling village of Cavendish.

But on Sept. 13, 1848, a freakish event would forever alter Phineas Gage—for the worse.

On that late summer day, Gage’s crew was blasting rock to make way for a new rail cut. The athletic foreman used a harpoon-like iron rod, 43 inches long by 1.25 inches wide, to tamp explosive powder into a pre-drilled hole in the rock.

It’s unclear what caused the initial spark that set off a premature explosion detonating the powder. The tamping rod, propelled at a speed more than 120 miles per hour, rocketed out of the hole; it ripped through Gage’s skull and brain— via the lower left cheek, penetrating the left eye—and then exited.

The iron missile came to rest on the ground a few yards away from the dazed man. Remaining conscious, Gage alerted his crew; several of the men walked alongside the ambulating foreman to a nearby doctor.

“Here’s business enough for you,” Gage matter-of-factly told the village doctor. Business enough for generations of medical students to ponder. The examining physician was both horrified and astounded—here was a miracle that stag-

gered the scientific mind; the young man had survived the trauma of a missile’s high velocity transit through flesh, brain, and bone.

Within a few days, while under the watchful eye of John Martyn Harlow, M.D., it was apparent that Gage was not the man friends and co-workers knew so well. Instead, his personality had changed for the worst. No longer reliable, focused, and polite-spoken, the young foreman became listless and foulmouthed. He uttered “the grossest profanity”, according to Dr. Harlow.

The R&B Railroad soon dismissed Gage and his wandering, wicked ways throughout the Americas became the stories of legend. To earn a modest income, the unemployable Gage worked as a sideshow freak making public appearances in New England and elsewhere. He died in San Francisco in 1860 after being taken by a violent series of seizures.

Gage was the focus of study for many neuroscience researchers. Thus, the New Englander became “the most famous patient in the annals of neuroscience...,” according to Steve Twomey, who wrote about Gage in a recent issue of Smithsonian Magazine. “His case was the first to suggest a link between brain trauma and personality change.” After his death, Gage’s skull and a death mask were donated to Harvard where researchers still examine them.

Jack and Beverly Wilgus, the couple that had acquired the first Gage daguerreotype, alerted historians to the strange photo which shows a one-eyed man holding an inscribed iron rod. At first the Wilgus’ thought the man in the photograph was a harpoonist, however, after several trained eyes examined the image and concluded the mystery man was Gage.

A descendant of Phineas Gage owns the second daguerreotype of the famous medical patient. After the Wilgus’ announced their discovery in January, the Gage family descendant decided to go public with the second image.

Mud season, RIP

T

he Elmore Mountain Road—or the “Mountain Road,” as locals call it—stretches 7.5 miles along the foot of Elmore Mountain connecting Stowe to Elmore, Vt. It passes through Morrisville on the way. I know the road well having lived off it, in some way shape or form, since 1979. It’s a 35 mph road; both sides of the road boast the most breathtaking views on the Eastern Seaboard.

As can be expected, rich folks live at the highest elevations of the Elmore Mountain Road.

In October, you can spot the rich folks by the thick blanket of wet “first snow” piled on the roofs of their cars as they drive around town. (It’s a local status thing that I believe is manufactured in some cases. Really.) Ok, you’re rich enough to have a mountaintop home, but not rich enough to have a garage? Poor folks live in the valleys, and bogs, and swampy areas of the Elmore Mountain Road. The poh folk stick out, or they used to stick out in March and April, driving around town in their giant balls of rolling mud cakes.

You see, the Elmore Mountain Road is not only famous for its views, but it’s equally famous for its mud. At least it used to be.

Used to be during the spring, or as we call it here in Vermont mud season, you could drive into a rut on the Elmore Mountain Road and not be seen or heard from ‘til July the Fourth. Not anymore.

Now, the frost just-don’t-go-so-deep in Vermont. Modern day weather and Vermont life in general is becoming more Connecticutish by the hour. Road crews have learned a great deal about crowning roads and scooping swales and shaving shoulders and laying drainage, so now anything needing to run-off, can run-off; mud season nowadays is a mere shadow of it’s former self. Nowadays it’s tough trying to find a good mudin’.

Flatlanders who’ve moved here within the past 10 years have no idea how bad a spring road can be, but they still love to play the martyr. “Oh my garsh, I can barely make it down in the morning, but in the afternoon the road is terrible, just terrible.

Takes me forever to get home. Good thing I just had a fabulous yoga class, or I’d be a wreck.”

I don’t like to burst the bubbles of flatlanders, so I don’t mention that us old timers used to enter the Mountain Road between mid-March and mid-April wondering if we’d make it home—not when we’d make it home.

The softness of the old-style Vermont spring roads used to make life difficult. It wasn’t too much fun getting mired up to your running boards in thick, stanky mud. But the softness of those roads hardened us, made us tough, and separated us from anyone not from here.

That was then, this is now.

Now, changes, natural and man-made, are stealing a good bit of what made us all feel like Vermonters (and Elmore Mountain Road’s claim to fame).

Mud. Rest in Peace mud seasons of old.

This is all not the beginning of the end. The end began long ago—with the beginning.

Through a mirror—fluidly A

reader recently e-mailed this writer wanting to know more about liquid-mirrors replacing conventional mirrors in major telescopic observa-

tories.

Here’s the simplest way to explain this exotic mirror technology for use in telescopes: a liquid reflective metal, such as mercury, is spin in a container around an axis.

The liquid must be 99.99 percent free of impurities and its surface must be dust free to be effective for deep-sky observing. As the liquid metal rotates, its shape can be altered for the purpose of focusing. So, when astronomers get just the right shape for their fluid mirror, they can focus it on distant starlight as good as—and sometimes better than—a conventional glass mirror.

These mirrors are used for narrowband (zenith) telescopes.

Land-based liquid-mirror telescopes (LMTs) use either mercury or liquid gallium alloys in very tiny amounts— up to a millimeter in thickness. While these liquid metals are toxic, the small amounts used are protected and present no overt hazard to observers.

At the heart of a liquid-mirror scope is a cylindrical vessel made of kevlar that holds the liquid. This vessel is spun so that the mercury (or other liquid metal) assumes a paraboloid; this is accomplished via a motor that rotates the vessel up to several revolutions per minute (rpm). Looking at a liquid mirror, you’d be fooled at first glance—its shape looks exactly like a conventional telescope mirror.

The real advantage of a LMT over a glass-mirror telescope is its low manufacturing cost; the cost of a large liquid mirror telescope is nearly 95 percent less than a conventional mirror scope. Unlike conventional mirrors, liquid-metal mirrors do not have to be cast, ground, and polished; this fact alone eliminates considerable time and labor in construction.

The largest liquid-mirror telescope on Earth is the Large Zenith Telescope in western Canada. With a diameter of six meters (over 9 feet), its kevlar container rotates at 6 rpm to maintain a mercury mirror inside as a nearly perfect paraboloid.

Canada’s LZT is located at a University of British Columbia research park near Vancouver. As a LMT, it ranks among the largest optical telescopes on Earth. And compared to similar sized conventional-mirror instruments,

the LZT was inexpensive to construct, thanks in part, to cannibalized parts from a defunct U.S. telescope.

“The Large Zenith Telescope project began in 1994, as a collaboration between scientists at UBC, Laval University and the Institut d'Astrophysique de Paris,” according to Dr. Paul Hickson, LZT’s director . “The principal scientific goals of the project are to measure

By Lou Varricchio spectral energy distributions and redshifts of over 100,000 galaxies and quasars, and to detect distant supernovae. These observations will allow us to study cosmology, the large-scale structure of the universe, and the evolution of galaxies.”

LZT astronomers received used parts from NASA’s own narrowband (zenith) Orbital Debris Observatory telescope in New Mexico. The defunct Orbital Debris Observatory ceased operations thanks to the U.S. Congress pulling the plug on its vital space-junk observation program.

In the 22nd century, liquid mirror telescopes may be built on the Moon. The frigid surface temperatures at the lunar poles are ideal for LMTs. LMTs on the Moon would gather far red-shifted light—so-called long-wave infrared light—coming from the extreme depths of space and time.

What’s in the Sky: This weekend, after sunset in the S.E., a small telescope will reveal Saturn and its big moon Titan. Look for the tiny orange “star” east of bright Saturn. Titan contains more hydrocarbon material than all of Earth’s oil and natural gas reserves.

So easy even a parent can do it H

ere’s a phrase you don’t hear much any more: the Third-Grade Slump.

Like a lot of other child-raising customs which didn’t survive the 1960s, that one was the result of then typical parental pre-k preparation of children for school—who then found they (we) could coast through the first three of their (our) 13-year public education odyssey.

The slump came when we found that, starting with grade three, we actually had to pay attention and learn something; the adjustment-lag showed up in poor report cards, parental displeasure, and swift attitude adjustment.

My generation of parents was the last to do our pre-k job; when the slump showed, we were sternly instructed at the parent-teacher conference that it was our fault because—rather than presuming to teach, a professionally demanding task not executable by mere amateurs—we should have presented the kids at the schoolhouse door as tabulae rasae, blank slates on which (or whom) pedagogical magic could be skillfully worked to achieve high level literacy and numeracy.

Well, it ain’t the 1960s any more. The low test scores aren’t confined to grade 3 and teachers are now complaining that parents aren’t pre-king their kids as they used to.

The real story is that prepping kids for reading and math— indeed, we were taught, and did ourselves actually teach, our kids to handle basic reading and math—is so easy that even we parental troglodytes could and did do it.

If you think back to the typical grade-school boredom you experienced while the basics were reviewed—yet again and again—consider what the process must hold or fail to hold for the adult educator him (or her) self. It perhaps explains why the professionals have sought intellectual stimulation by debating about all the multiple variations of New Math and New Reading techniques which might be used to rescue teachers from near-terminal mindnumbing boredom in the classroom.

The argument over the whole-word Dick and Jane method versus the phonics symbol-sound method was triggered more by a desperate teacher grasp at variety than by a bored-second-grader insistence, I’d bet.

To carry my speculation a step further, I’d argue that it’s at the root of such phenomena as lecturing primary grade students on such more-interesting-to-adults subjects as non-traditional marriage, global warming, cultural diversity, First-World urban sprawl and Third-World deforestation, etc. Today, “Proficient” roughly equates to “able to function at grade level” although many educators, as I’ve reported in earlier columns, want to equate it to the even easier “basic” so as to finesse the NCLB 2014 proficiency requirement.

As a parental troglodyte, I can testify that I could both receive and then give instruction. So can all homeschoolers

whose students typically score higher than their public-schooled peers. Neither homeschool teacher nor pupil suffer boredom—perhaps because we didn’t make a tediously repetitive career of it and the students, because they learn the 36 symbols and swiftly move on to more interesting stuff where they get to use what they’ve learned.

All basic training “grads” are proficient in their basics—more than can be said for the majority of school kids who aren’t in theirs—because they weren’t taught their own 36 basics, something even parents can do.

Public education rejects responsibility for this situation arguing, in a suit led by Vermont educrats against federal standards, that nowhere in their job description is their the obligation to bring any specific percentage of students to “proficient”; if the feds want such an unreasonable outcome, then they are just going to have pay more for it.

(With the money in hand, it will then happen.)

I’d bet that it’s no statistical accident that students in k12 education for military dependents, typically, score much higher in the federal reading and math tests than their civilian-school counterparts. Nor is it irrelevant that military instructors are held responsible for student proficiency—“If the student didn’t learn, it’s because the teacher didn’t teach”—and career-tracked accordingly.

The success of most parents at basic reading, writing and arithmetic instruction—and the contrasting 2/3 failure of the k-12 system at the same task measured via NAEP tests—suggests that expanding pre-k to prevent parental teaching at an even earlier age is precisely the wrong direction to take. Every study of pre-k, from Head Start on, has exposed its long-term ineffectiveness.

I’d suggest parents ought to be encouraged to teach at home through grade 2—maybe by removing the taxes which force both adults to re-join the labor force when their kids are still at nursery-school level—so that they can present their offspring for grade 3 fully knowledgeable in the critical 36 symbols, ready for more classes which both they and their teachers will actually find interesting.

No more Grade 3 Slump—as all the evidence shows, teaching the three Rs is so easy even parents can do it.

The author ’s book, “I’m Different—and I’m Happy,” emphasizes aspects of day-to-day lives that may be different.

According to Rose Mary Smith, certified counselor and life coach, Gervais’ books stresses “the importance of diversity among all of God’s creatures.”

RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 7

CSC starts conference play with a sweep VanDerKar is NEWLA

By Frederick Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com After going 7-8 through their first 15 games, the Castleton State College Spartans opened the conference play with a home sweep of a double header last Saturday over the Lyndon Vikings.

In the opener, Castleton rode a three run fourth inning to a 5-1 win. In the night cap the Spartans scored twice in their final at-bat to complete the sweep with a 7-6 win.

During the opening play, Castleton scored five runs on eight hits but that was much more than hurler Kevin Cooke would need. Cooke pitched all seven innings, giving up just one run on two hits while striking out an impressive 11 batters to pick up the complete game win. Over the first three innings Cooke was perfect, recoding six of his 11 strikeouts over that span. Offensively Matt Eisenhuth carried the load for the Spartans. The senior left fielder enjoted a perfect day at the plate, going 3-for-3 wit a double, rwo runs scored and he drove in one.

Only two visiting Vikings, Stetson Hicks and Ben Clarke managed to scratch out singles against Cooke, with Clarke’s single driving in Stetson for the Vikings lone score. Shane Fleury started, and took the loss for Lyndon.

In four and a third innings of work Fleury Gave up five runs (four earned) on eight hits before turning the game over to Isaac Earle, who closed the game out with one and two thirds innings of perfect basedall.

Things weren’t so smooth in the

nightcap Trauling 6-5 going into their final at bat the Spartans needed a seventh inning rally and they ot just that.

With one out, Ryan Zielinski singled.

Zielinski followed then stole ssecond and advanced to third on a throwing error by catcher Robert Trucott. Bissonnette, walked and Zielinski scored on a passed ball to tie the score at 6-6. Manley struck out and Castleton was down to their final out. Pinch runner DJ Detweiler stole second base. And then on the second pitch of an intentional walk to Eisenhuth, Detweiler stole third base to put the winning run just 90-feet away. After the intentional walk to Eisenhuth, pinch hitter Peter Wagner (Brattleboro) walked loading the bases for third baseman Kurt Hewes, who promptly singled to left, driving in Detweiler with the winning run.

Castleton starter Billy Sisko went five innings, giving up nine hits, five runs (three earned), three walks and seven strikeouts. He gave up the hill to Patrick Riley. Riley pitched one-andone-thirds innings yielding one earned run on one hit, one walk and two strikeouts.He was relived by Tyler Erickson who pitched the last two thirds of an innings without giving up a thing picked up the win in relief for Castleton.

Jake Ainsworth suffered the loss in relief for Lyndon. In two-thirds of an inning of work he gave up two hits, two runs (one earned), three walks and one strikeout Castleton rose above .500 in overall play with a 9-8 record, and became 4-0 in Conference play with the sweep.

Lyndon falls to 2-11 overall and 0-4 in conference The Spartan softball team started out

0-9 before winning four games over two days including a pair of shutouts in a doubleheader sweep of Sage College last Friday.

In the opener senior hurler Hilary Bemis threw a complete game, two hit shutout. Bemis had eight strikeouts and no walks in leading Castleton to their first win, 7-0. Bemis not only controlled the hill, but she led the Spartans offensively with her bat. In thee official plate appearances Bemis singled, walked and doubled. She scored twice and drove in two more runs. Gabriella Skillen went the distance and took the loss for Sage. In her six innings of work she gave up seven runs (six earned) on eight hits with a strikeout and five walks.

In the night cap it was Taylor Lively’s turn to throw a shutout. Lively tossed the four hit variety in a 3-0 Spartan win. In addition to the four hits she did allow one walk, but she also struck out 10 in an impressive outing. In a game that saw no extra base hits Spartan center fielder Caylee Fleury and second baseman Mercedes Maltbie had RBI singles for the victorious Spartans.

Sage’s Kristen Knights pitched the whole game and was impressive herself. In six innings of work she gave up three runs, but none were earned. She allowed just four hits, but did surrender four walks and she took the tough loss.

Castleton improved to 4-9 with the sweep, and they open up conference play this Saturday when they host Thomas College at 2 p.m. Sage remained winless at 0-12 following the double header.

Poll shows Britton edging on Leahy RUTLAND—A Rasmussen Reports poll of the Vermont U.S. Senate race brought some bright news to the Britton campaign. The poll results revealed Leahy leads by 25 percent (Leahy 58 percent, unnamed generic Republican opponent earns 33 percent support), 2 percent prefer another candidate in the race, and 7 percent are undecided.

"I am very happy with news. For a political newcomer to be within 25 percent of a 35 year incumbent at this point in the race is good news—we have 222 days to make history and give Vermont a new voice in the Senate. Scott Brown swung 41 percent of the votes in Massachusetts in far less time" said Britton.

"When we break the 40 percent line, a mere 7 percent away, it becomes a horse race. The hidden gem in the polling was that only 52 percent of Vermont voters think it would be better for the country if most incumbents in Congress were defeated this November, 51 percent say their local representative deserves reelection. This clearly shows Vermont voters are unhappy with inside the beltway politics of elected officials who serve year after year, decade after decade and are our problems—not our solutions,” Britton SAID. Britton describes himself as “the independent Republican candidate.”

Vermont to receive (some) foreclosure relief

By Lou Varricchio newmarketpress@denpubs.com Vermont Attorney Gen. William H. Sorrell announced last week that Bank of America’s Countrywide Financial Corporation has agreed to a settlement to resolve any claims that the State of Vermont may have concerning Countrywide’s origination of home loans.

Countrywide will pay about $100,000 to Vermont for foreclosure relief, half of which will go to specific borrowers whose Countrywide loans were foreclosed upon, and the remainder for general foreclosure relief efforts. The settlement is similar to those entered into by other states, including states that alleged that Countrywide engaged in predatory lending practices.

The settlement confirms Countrywide’s current commitment to offering loan modifications—reductions in interest rates, for instance—under certain circumstances to Vermonters with subprime “hybrid” adjustable rate mortgages, other subprime first mortgages, and “pay option” adjustable rate mortgages.

Hybrid loans have an interest rate that resets after a specified number of years; under pay option loans, the borrower has the choice of making one of several different kinds of monthly payments, such as a minimum payment, an interest-only payment, or a fully amortizing payment.

These types of loans have been associated with the national mortgage foreclosure crisis.

CSC From page 1 explores controversial relationships between Jesus, Judas, and Mary Magdalene. Still, the sacred characters are treated with respect not typically expected in the rebellous rock venue.

In this Castleton production, director Harry McEnerny employs scenic elements inspired by Victorian-era “steampunk”—a roadhouse term for a sub-genre of science-fiction and fantasy that takes its roots from 19th-century writers such as Jules Verne and H.G. Wells. A cast photograph hints at a look that straddles modern college costuming and threads from television’s “The Wild, Wild West”.

Performances for “Jesus Christ Superstar” will take place Wednesday,April 14 through Saturday, April 17 at 8 p.m., and Sunday, April 18 at 2 p.m. The performances will be at the Casella Theater, located in the Fine Arts Center on the campus of Castleton State College.

Tickets are $10 for general admission.

To reserve tickets, call the box office at 802-468-1119.
