To grandmother’s house

THIS YEAR’S JOINT production of the Town Hall Theater and the Middlebury College Department of Music is Stephen Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.” The show, which was performed to sellout crowds last weekend, was part of the college’s January Term course The Contem-­ porary Musical in Performance. The show was cast in the fall, but the full company didn’t meet with director Doug Anderson until the second week of January, giving the cast and crew just two and a half weeks to pull the show together. Pictured are, clockwise from left, Amanda Werrell as Cinderella;; Jack DesBois as the Wolf and Sarah Lusche as Little Red Ridinghood;; Nicholas Hemerling as the Narrator;; Werrell, Hannah Tem-­ kin and Nathaniel Rothrock on the imaginative set;; Elyse Barnard as the Witch with Rothrock and Evann Normandin as the Baker and his wife;; and Quinn Bernegger and Mike McCann as the two vain princes.

Editorial

To  the  far  left:  ‘Say  it,  we  must’ Vermont  Progressives  and  other  liberals  might  want  to  tread  cautiously  when  reacting  to  Gov.  Peter  Shumlin’s  budget  address  lest  they  open  a  politi-­ cal  divide  between  themselves  and  a  majority  of  Vermonters.  The  danger  is  that  would  be  perceived  as  too  far  left  of  the  mainstream,  as  the  Tea  Party  is  perceived  to  be  too  far  right,  and  their  political  clout  compromised.

Letters to the Editor Gun  rights  advocate  paints  extremely  scary  picture I  am  standing  on  the  National  Mall,  one  of  thousands  to  witness  the  inauguration  of  a  president.

The  ceremony  is  a  symbol  for  the  peaceful  transfer  of  authority  and  for  a  democracy  where  the  people  choose  their  leaders  who  in  turn  are  legally  and  morally  bound  to  serve  them.  It  symbolizes  order,  the  rule  of  law,  and  the  placement  of  our  collective  trust  in  our  governmental  institutions.

But  I  can’t  help  wondering,  who  around  me  is  packing?  ‌.  And  why?

I  ask  the  guy  on  my  left,  the  one Â

with  the  NRA  badge,  if  he  sees  any-­ one  suspicious,  anyone  who  might  be  murderous  rather  than  merely  larcenous  and  who  might  sneak  up  in  the  crowd  and  do  us  some  serious  damage.  “Don’t  worry,â€?  he  says  as  he  pats  the  lump  under  his  left  armpit.  “I’ve  got  it  covered.â€?  Is  he  talking  about  the  lump  or  attacks  by  criminals  or  jihadists  lurking  among  us  out  here  on  the  mall?  He  says  his  name  is  Djingo.  I  want  to  ask  if  the  lump  is  cancerous  or  a  Glock  G30. “Djingo  what?â€?  I  say  instead. “Djust  Djingo,â€?  he  says.  I  hadn’t  realized  that  Djingo  was  his  last Â

name,  though  I  suspect  that  both  names  constitute  some  sort  of  nom  de  guerre.  Clearly  he  is  someone  I  should  trust,  or  at  least  pretend  to.  If  someone  tries  to  do  me  harm,  maybe  Djust  Djingo  will  whip  out  his  Glock  and  get  off  10-­15  quick  rounds  into  the  crowd  while  he  narrows  in  on  the  real  target.  I  feel  safer  already.

corporate  headquarters  in  Milford,  Conn.  She  was  slated  to  assume  the  role  of  Director  of  Operations  in  January.

Impressively,  Rebecca  achieved  all  this  while  battling  an  aggressive  form  of  breast  cancer  over  the  last  three  years.  Following  an  initial  diag-­ nosis  at  the  age  of  26,  she  surprised  everyone  by  bouncing  back  right  away  from  an  intense  year  of  surger-­ ies  and  chemotherapy.  She  survived  another  two  years  in  excellent  health  until  the  cancer  unexpectedly  returned  in  December,  ultimately  claiming  her  life  in  just  six  weeks.  Rebecca  met  these  challenges  with  amazing  strength,  an  open  heart,  and  no  regrets.

Rebecca  was  stunningly  beautiful,  incredibly  intelligent  and  extremely  focused.  She  had  an  infectious  laugh  and  a  sharp,  witty  humor.  She  always  knew  exactly  what  she  wanted  and  how  to  get  it.  But  behind  that  bold  determination  and  tough  exterior  was  a  gentle  and  caring  mother  who  loved  more  than  anything  spend-­ ing  time  with  her  daughter,  Anya.  Whether  singing  songs  in  the  car  or  reading  bedtime  stories,  they  shared  a  special  bond  that  brought  them  and  those  around  them  immense  joy.  Rebecca  is  survived  by  her  husband,  Ryan;Íž  her  daughter,  Anya;Íž  and  their  golden  retriever,  Boomer;Íž  her  older  sister,  Katherine  MacLean  of  Baltimore,  Md.,  and  her  younger Â

The  No.  4  Panthers  fell  to  16-­1,  5-­1  in  NESCAC  play,  while  the  No.  9  Ephs  improved  to  17-­2  overall,  6-­0  1(6&$& JRRG IRU D ¿UVW SODFH WLH with  Amherst.  But  Amherst  (17-­2,  6-­0)  has  yet  to  meet  either  Middle-­ bury  or  Williams  in  league  play.  Middlebury  will  host  the  Jeffs  on  )HE EXW ¿UVW PXVW IDFH JDPHV WKLV weekend  at  Colby  and  Bowdoin.

The  Ephs  held  the  lead  for  much  of  Saturdayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  opening  frame,  but  the  Panthers  took  back  the  lead  towards  the  end  of  the  half.  At  6:17,  Hunter  Merryman  hit  two  free  throws  for  Middlebury  to  tie  the  game  at  27-­27,  and  free  throws  by  Nolan  Thompson  and  Joey  Kizel,  a  Jack  Roberts  of-­

fensive  rebound,  two  James  Jensen  hoops  and  a  Kizel  steal  conversion  made  it  41-­32.

The  Ephs  closed  the  half  with  a  6-­0  run  with  points  from  Daniel  Wohl,  Nate  Robertson  and  Michael  Mayer,  and  it  was  41-­38  at  intermis-­ sion.

Out  of  the  break,  Middlebury  got  a  lay-­up  from  Peter  Lynch.  But  Wohl  hit  two  free  throws  and  Sean  Hoff-­ mann  dunked,  and  neither  team  was  able  to  pull  away  until  Middlebury  was  able  to  push  the  lead  to  seven  with  just  under  ten  minutes  to  play  on  a  Lynch  putback.   The  Ephs  responded  with  a  lob  inside  from  Robertson  to  Mayer.  One  Lynch  free  throw  and  two  from  Kizel  pushed  the  lead  to  eight,  but  Mayer  and  Robertson  combined  to  cut  the  lead  to  six.

Connor  Collins  led  MUHS  with  21  points,  four  steals  and  three  as-­ sists,  and  Tyler  Provencher  (12)  and  Marrott  Weekes  (10  points,  four  rebounds,  three  assists)  also  VFRUHG LQ GRXEOH ¿JXUHV Perry  DeLorenzo  added  nine  points  and  10  boards,  and  David  Burt  added  seven  points  and  four  boards.  The  Tiger  defense  forced  20  MVU  turn-­ overs.

On  Saturday,  the  Tigers  improved  to  10-­2  by  avenging  an  earlier  four-­ point  loss  at  Fair  Haven  with  a  54-­ 32  over  the  visiting  8-­4  Slaters.  The  Tigers  jumped  out  to  a  16-­2  lead  and  cruised  from  there,  according  to  Coach  Chris  Altemose.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  had  a  very  balanced  effort  DQG FRQWUROOHG IURP VWDUW WR ÂżQ-­ ish,â&#x20AC;?  Altemose  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  a  big  improvement  over  our  performance  down  there.  We  did  a  much  better  job  taking  care  of  the  ball  and  get-­ ting  after  them  defensively.â&#x20AC;?

Nine  players  scored  for  the  Ti-­ gers,  topped  by  Collins  (13  points,  six  rebounds,  three  steals)  and  Weekes  (12  points,  three  steals.  Provencher  (seven  points,  six  re-­ bounds,  three  steals),  DeLorenzo  VHYHQ SRLQWV ÂżYH UHERXQGV DQG Burt  (six  rebounds)  helped  MUHS  control  the  boards  against  the  taller  Slaters.  James  Pecsok  chipped  in  six  points,  and  sophomore  point  guard  Bobby  Ritter  contributed  four  points  and  three  steals.  Not  all  news  was  good  for  MUHS:  Ritter  saw  lots  of  action  because  se-­ nior  point  guard  Mitchell  Clarke  injured  his  knee  in  the  Tigersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  Jan.  19  win  at  Mill  River,  and  will  not  return  this  season.  Altemose  called  the  news  â&#x20AC;&#x153;extremely  unfortunateâ&#x20AC;?  for  Clarke,  a  three-­year  starter.  Still,  with  the  two  wins  the  Ti-­ gers  are  ranked  No.  3  in  Division  I  according  to  the  Vermont  Princi-­ palsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  Association  website,  and  will Â

look  to  keep  up  their  winning  ways  this  week  at  Mount  Abraham  and,  in  a  highly  anticipated  matchup,  at  home  on  Friday  vs.  undefeated  VUHS  at  7  p.m.

COMMODORES On  Wednesday,  the  Commodores  defeated  host  Milton,  79-­49,  in  their  ¿UVW DFWLRQ VLQFH -DQ 7\SLFDOO\ VUHS  again  had  offensive  balance  in  reaching  12-­0:  Shep  Carter  scored  17,  Zach  Ouellette  notched  13,  and  Stanley  Salley  contributed  10  in  the  middle.

The  Commodores  remained  atop  the  D-­II  standings,  but  will  face  a  challenge  at  home  from  BFA-­St.  Albans  on  Tuesday  before  Fridayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  showdown  with  the  Tigers.     EAGLES On  Wednesday,  host  BFA-­St.  Al-­ bans  improved  to  6-­5  with  a  73-­36  win  over  the  Eagles,  who  dropped Â

to  1-­11.  Whit  Lower  and  Mark  Jipner  led  the  Eagles  with  14  and  12  points,  respectively.

After  the  Eagles  host  the  Tigers  on  Tuesday  at  7  p.m.,  St.  Amour  and  the  T-­Birds  will  visit  Bristol  on  Friday  at  7  p.m.  OTTERS On  Saturday,  host  Burr  &  Bur-­ ton  improved  to  10-­2  with  a  60-­41  victory  over  OV.  Eleven  Bulldogs  scored  in  the  victory  as  Burr  and  Burton  stayed  near  Vergennes  in  the  top  four  in  D-­II.  Jake  Stalcupâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  12  and  Joey  Shehadiâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  10  led  the  way.

Ryan  Kelley  again  led  the  way  for  the  2-­10  Otters,  tossing  in  21.

The  Otters  are  in  the  middle  of  ¿YH VWUDLJKW URDG JDPHV 2Q 7XHV-­ day,  they  will  visit  Bellows  Falls,  and  on  Saturday  Poultney  is  their  destination. Â

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abe Union High School Otter Valley Union High School proudly names Alysen Smith as its student of the week.

Aly is applying to colleges in Boston, New York City and Providence, R.I.; she intends to major in English with a double-minor in journalism and political science.

His brother Shawn is a graduate of Farleigh Dickinson. And his brother Ryan graduated from the College of St. Josephâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s.

Justin has made high honors and academic excellence throughout high school. He is part of the National Society of High School Scholars in recognition for his outstanding academic achievements. As a senior he is taking advanced placement classes in both English and Math.

Justin is a big basketball and tennis player. He has played both sports through all six years at Mount Abe. He played AAU basketball, soccer and golf for a year but found that his love was for basketball and tennis. For three years, he was part of World of Difference, a club whose goal is to teach young middle-schoolers the harms of bullying.

Justin has worked as a counselor and a lifeguard for the Mary Johnson summer program for the past three years and plans to stop after this year.

He is also a part of Boy Scouts and 4-H in Monkton. He recently reached the rank of Eagle Scout. He has been in scouting and Boy Scouts since he Justin  â&#x20AC;&#x153;J-­Manâ&#x20AC;?  Kimball was in sixth grade.

M.A.U.H.S. Outside of school, Justin loves to play basketball and tennis whenever he can. He loves to play with all his friends and his brothers. Just like playing, he loves watching sports. He also loves to play piano and write music. And, he says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;My friends will appreciate it if I say I like to play board games, especially The Settlers of Catan!â&#x20AC;?

When asked about his high school experience, Justin said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I have learned a lot not school-wise, but personality-wise. Just being around the Mount Abe community has shown me how I could become a better person. I would tell students hang in there, if times get rough and you feel down on yourself, it will always get better as you go on.â&#x20AC;?

After high school, Justin is going to Barton University in North Carolina to try to become a music producer. He says he wants to be able to make music for the rest of his life; itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s his passion.

According to Justinâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s guidance counselor, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Justin is a polite and respectful young man. He is dedicated to school, sports and his community, and has the ability to balance all of his commitments in a manner that always yields success. Justin has given much as a member of a local 4H group and also as a Boy Scout. In each of these organizations, he has assumed increasing levels of responsibility.

Justin Kimball is a responsible young man who displays integrity at all times.â&#x20AC;?

SUPER Â BOWL Â â&#x20AC;&#x2122;13

Ravens vs. San Francisco 49ers 49ers  favored  by  Vegas  bookies  to  win  Super  Bowl Baltimore

By  HANNAH  DREIER LAS  VEGAS  (AP)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Sports  books  in  Las  Vegas  made  the  San  Francisco  49ers  a  favorite  in  the  Super  Bowl  over  the  Baltimore  Ravens  last  weekend   based  on  the  teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  solid  record  and  popularity  with  sports  fans.

Oddsmakers  gave  the  49ers  an  early  4  and  a  half-­point  handicap  (as  of  Jan.  21)  and  put  the  total  score  at  49  points  for  the  Feb.  3  game  in  New  Orleans.  This  means  gamblers  who  bet  on  the  Niners  will  collect  only  if  they  win  by  a  margin  of  victory  surpassing  4  and  a  half  points.

In  addition  to  betting  on  the  victor,  fans  can  put  money  on  whether  the  total  points  scored  during  the  game  will  fall  short  of  or  exceed  oddsmak-­ ersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  predictions.

Jay  Kornegay,  race  and  sports  book  director  at  The  LVH  casino,  said  his  book  made  the  49ers  a  4  and  a  half-­point  favorite  and  quickly  moved  the  line  to  4  points  as  bettors  gambled  on  the  Ravens. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  49ers  have  been  a  sexy  team  all  year,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Ravens  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  get  a  lot  of  respect  from  the  public,  but  that  bandwagon  is  getting  a  lot Â

more  supporters  as  we  speak.â&#x20AC;?

The  49ers  beat  the  Atlanta  Falcons  in  the  NFC  title  game  Sunday  after-­ noon,  rallying  in  the  second  half  after  falling  behind  by  17  points.  The  Ravens  defeated  the  New  England  Patriots  for  the  AFC  championship  later  that  night,  with  Joe  Flacco  throwing  three  touchdown  passes  in  just  over  10  minutes.

Oddsmaker  Benjamin  Eckstein  of  Americaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Line  said  he  made  the  49ers  a  4  and  a  half-­point  favorite  to  encourage  action  on  both  teams. â&#x20AC;&#x153;San  Francisco  is  what  we  call  a  very  public  team  because  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  been  very  good  over  the  past  couple  years,  and  people  just  like  to  bet  on  them,â&#x20AC;?  said  Eckstein,  who  provides  betting  lines  to  more  than  100  news-­ papers  in  the  U.S.  and  Canada.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  49ers  have  done  very  well  against  the  spread  this  year,  so  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  made  people  a  lot  of  money.â&#x20AC;?

The  Super  Bowl  is  the  most  popu-­ lar  betting  event  of  the  year  in  Las  Vegas.

Last  year,  sports  books  made  the  New  England  Patriots  three-­point  favorites  to  win  the  Super  Bowl  over  the  New  York  Giants,  but  the  Giants Â

Alicia  Keys  to  sing  at  halftime BY  HOWARD  FENDRICH NEW  ORLEANS  (AP)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Alicia  Keys  is  adding  her  voice  to  the  Super  Bowl  show  for  the  third  time.

The  Grammy-­winning  R&B  singer  will  perform  the  national  anthem  before  the  NFL  champi-­ onship  game  on  Feb.  3  in  New  Orleans.

The  league  said  that  Keysâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  three  performances  at  the  Super  Bowl  will  be  the  most  in  the  eventâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  history.  She  sang  â&#x20AC;&#x153;America  the  Beautifulâ&#x20AC;?  before  the  2005  game,  and  was  part  of  the  pregame  show  in  2008.

Keys,  who  turns  32  next  week,  UHOHDVHG KHU ÂżIWK VWXGLR DOEXP â&#x20AC;&#x153;Girl  on  Fire,â&#x20AC;?  late  last  year.

The  Super  Bowl  teams  will  be  determined  Sunday,  when  the  San  Francisco  49ers  play  the  Atlanta  Falcons  in  the  NFC  championship  game,  and  the  Baltimore  Ravens  face  the  New  England  Patriots  in  the  AFC  championship  game.

The  NFL  said  in  October  that  BeyoncĂŠ  will  be  the  star  of  the  halftime  show  at  this  yearâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Super  Bowl.  She  sang  the  national  anthem  at  the  2004  NFL  title  game  in  her  hometown  of  Houston.

Others  who  have  performed  the  national  anthem  at  past  Super  Bowls  include  â&#x20AC;&#x153;American  Idolâ&#x20AC;?  winner  Kelly  Clarkson  last  year,  as  well  as  Whitney  Houston,  Billy  Joel,  Diana  Ross,  Neil  Diamond  and  Mariah  Carey.

Coke  to  woo  smartphone  users BY  MAE  ANDERSON NEW  YORK  (AP)  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  Most  people  will  be  cheering  for  the  San  Francisco  49ers  or  Baltimore  Ravens  during  Super  Bowl  XLVII  on  Feb.  3.

But  Coca-­Cola  is  asking  view-­ ers  to  cheer  for  three  very  different  groups  in  an  interactive  market-­ ing  blitz  during  the  big  game:  a  troupe  of  showgirls,  a  band  of  cowboys  and  a  biker-­style  gang  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;badlandersâ&#x20AC;?  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  all  on  a  quest  for  a Â

Oddsmakers  say  average  fans  bet  far  more  money  on  the  Super  Bowl  than  professional  bettors  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  making  conventional  wisdom  all-­important  in  setting  betting  lines. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The  Super  Bowl  is  the  one  game  all  year  where  the  publicâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  money  dominates  the  action,â&#x20AC;?  Kornegay  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  why  we  have  to  gear  this  line  toward  the  public Â

perception.â&#x20AC;?

Johnny  Avello,  director  of  race  and  sports  at  Wynn  Las  Vegas,  opened  the  49ers  as  5-­point  favor-­ ites.  He  said  he  expected  heavy  betting  with  a  competitive  under-­ dog  and  a  sibling  rivalry  narrative  inspired  by  brothers  John  and  Jim  Harbaugh  coaching  the  two  teams.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Baltimoreâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  kind  of  dangerous.  And  youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve  got  two  brothers  play-­ ing  against  each  other.  It  makes  for  a  good  matchup,â&#x20AC;?  he  said.

Avello  said  he  planned  to  spend  a  day  last  week  watching  footage  from  past  games  and  devising  what  he  said  will  likely  exceed  200  prop-­ osition  bets.

Bowl  during  his  days  with  the  San  Francisco  49ers,  holds  the  Super  Bowl  record  for  the  most  receiving  yards  in  a  single  game  after  haul-­ ing  in  215  yards  on  11  catches  in  Super  Bowl  XXIII  in  1989  against  the  Cincinnati  Bengals.  The  49ers  won  the  game  20-­16.

“GUS SOLOMONS,” 1960 photo by Harold E. Edgerton, is among the gelatin silver print photos appearing in the exhibit “Black, White, and Beautiful” at Middlebury College. May Mantell will discuss the show this Wednesday at 4 p.m. at the Museum of Art.

College exhibit to feature black and white photography MIDDLEBURY — May Mantell, a visiting professor of studio art at Middlebury College, this Wednesday will speak about the current exhibit at Middlebury’s Museum of Art — “Black, White, and Beautiful.” Mantell guest-­ curated the exhibit in conjunc-­ tion with her January-­term course “Introduction to Black and White Photography.”

The criteria for the exhibit were two: that they be exceptionally beautifully crafted silver prints and that they be meaningful works of art made by significant artists.

Once ubiquitous, silver prints are quickly becoming more and more rare. Made in the darkroom and processed in wet chemis-­ try, gelatin silver prints have an

exceptional presence as a conse-­ quence of the silver embedded in them. Currently most photo-­ graphic printing uses digital ink processes.

Mantell’s talk will begin at 4 p.m. in the museum galleries at the Center for the Arts.

Mantell, who lives and works in Middlebury, holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in Photography from the San Francisco Art Institute and a Master of Fine Arts in Studio Art from Stanford University. She has taught photog-­ raphy and studio art at Stanford, The San Francisco Art Institute, The University of Vermont and Middlebury College. In 2004 she was Christian A. Johnson Artist-­ in-­Residence at Middlebury.

Meet Charlie!

Hello, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m Charlie.

Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m two-and-a-half years old. My awesome family rescued me from Sherylâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Den Rescue in New Jersey when I was about 8 weeks old. Boy, did I give them a run for their money. I was a bit crazy!

I have mellowed out some although I still love sitting in Daddyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s lap and driving Mommy crazy. As you can see from my picture, I love balls, and I love Frisbees and chasing my tail, and treats too! What can I say? Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m just a big baby who loves to get into

mischief. Speaking of baby, I suppose I have to share that title now seeing that thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an intruder in my home. She is pretty cute though, and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always wanted a little sister. I guess itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not so bad and Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still spoiled so Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll share. Now thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s enough about me, time to get back to sleeping. Ahhhh, what a life.
