The  win  over  a  Division  I  foe  pushed  the  Division  II  Commodores  to  3-­0,  with  all  three  victories  com-­ ing  against  programs  that  defeated  98+6 D \HDU DJR ZKHQ WKH WHDP ¿QLVKHG DQG HDUQHG D KRPH playoff  game.

Hayes  said  it  had  been  a  couple  years  since  the  Commodores  had  knocked  off  a  D-­I  team,  and  Mon-­ day’s  result  vs.  the  2-­2  Rebels,  who  won  at  Middlebury  last  week,  would Â

“I  like  this  team.  We  play  hard.  There  were  a  lot  of  really  good  plays,â€?  Quinn  said.  The  Commodores’  sticky  man-­to-­ man  defense  also  slowed  the  Rebels,  with  guards  Hayes,  junior  Aaron  *DLQHV HLJKW SRLQWV DQG VRSKRPRUH $GDP *LOO WKUHH VWHDOV KDUDVVLQJ the  ballhandlers  outside,  and  Miede-­ ma,  Lorrain  and  junior  forwards  Josh  Dam  and  Tyler  Kepes  protecting  the  basket.   “I  like  our  defense  in  the  paint.  That’s  been  good  all  year.  A  lot  of  that  is  our  Space  Needle,â€?  said Â

The  Commodores  picked  up  their  intensity  and  dominated  most  of  the  second  quarter,  but  because  of  their  shooting  woes  could  not  build  more  than  a  seven-­point  lead,  20-­13,  with  2:40  to  go,  on  a  Hayes  putback  of  a  Gill  miss  on  the  break.  The  Commo-­

Robinson  has  already  been  named  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Gatorade  football  player  of  the  year.      The  coaches  chose  Rice  quarter-­ back/defensive  end/defensive  back  Chris  Jansen  as  the  D-­II  premier  player,  and  BFA-­Fairfax  running  back/linebacker  Luke  Langelier  as  the  D-­III  premier  player.

The  PRIDE  Award  has  been  given  since  2007.  One  previous  winner  was  Middleburyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Marshall  Hastings  in  2012.

Winter manure ban already in effect VERMONT  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  The  Vermont  Agency  of  Agriculture,  Food,  and  Markets  reminds  farmers  that  the  manure  spreading  ban  took  effect  Dec.  15.

This  annual  ban  is  part  of  an  over-­ all  strategy  to  protect  our  working  landscape  and  natural  resources,  as  outlined  in  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Accepted  $JULFXOWXUDO 3UDFWLFHV $$3V 7KH agency  works  closely  with  farmers  DFURVV WKH VWDWH WR HQVXUH WKH $$3V are  enforced.  Manure  spreading  is  a  common  practice  in  Vermont  agriculture  that  enriches  the  soil  for  production  and  helps  manage  animal  waste.

The  manure  spreading  ban  is  a  regulation  that  has  been  in  place  since Â

1995.  Vermont  was  a  leading  state  in  developing  such  a  ban.  Research  has  shown  that  manure  applica-­ tions  on  frozen  ground  can  increase  the  runoff  potential.  Vermont  chose  to  select  a  ban  period  from  Dec.  15  to  April  1  each  year  to  protect  water  quality;͞  however  the  Agency  of  Agriculture  has  discretion  with  those  dates  to  accommodate  unusual  circumstances.  During  the  ban,  farmers  must  either  have  a  storage  structure  that  is  capa-­ ble  of  holding  all  manure  produced  during  the  ban  period,  which  is  107  days,  or  they  must  be  able  to  stack  all  manure  produced  in  a  way  that  will  not  lead  to  water  quality  impacts. :KHQ VWDFNLQJ PDQXUH $$3V

require  that  stacking  sites  be  located  more  than  100  feet  from  private  wells  or  property  boundaries.  In  addition,  manure  cannot  be  stacked  on  unimproved  sites  within  100  feet  of  surface  water,  or  on  land  that  is  VXEMHFW WR DQQXDO RYHUĂ&#x20AC; RZ IURP DGMD cent  waters.  In  all  these  situations,  however,  farmers  have  the  opportu-­ nity  to  demonstrate  to  the  Secretary  of  Agriculture  that  no  alternative  sites  exist  to  enable  you  to  meet  these  restrictions.

Anyone  who  has  questions  about  the  manure  spreading  ban,  or  who  would  like  assistance  in  the  selec-­ tion  of  appropriate  manure  stacking  sites  is  asked  to  call  the  agency  at  802-­828-­3475. Â

About  20  of  those  slide-­offs  happened  on  a  steep  section  of  Route  7  just  south  of  Vergennes, Â

between  New  Haven  Road  and  Middle  Brook  Road.  Around  4:15  p.m.  Wednesday,  three  tractor-­ trailers  became  stuck  in  the  south-­ bound  lane  as  they  tried  to  ascend  the  hill.  It  took  troopers  and  Vergennes  police  about  three  and  a  half  hours  to  free  the  trucks.  During  that  time,  police  alternated  traffic  in  the  north-­ bound  lane,  resulting  in  significant  delays  as  snow  continued  to  fall.  Fortunately,  state  police  reported Â
