Nature Museum Offers Natural Science Vacation Camps Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – Editor With a week of school vacation coming up later in April, are you looking for some enjoyable and beneficial activities for your children? The Nature Museum at Grafton may have just what you’re looking for with its Vacation Camps. The museum’s spring vacation camps scheduled for April 19-22 are a popular yearly tradition, although the subject matter changes from year to year. The museum, with its exhibits, hands-on displays and educational outreach is a tremendous resource for Southern Vermont communities. The April vacation camps will all be run from the museum at 186 Townshend Road from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. with at least four and a maximum of 10 students. Because of the size limit, early pre-registration is essential. The cost is members $25; non-members $35. All campers need to bring lunch, snack, and water; wear waterproof boots; and dress for the weather. The camps serve different ages and have different themes. * April 19, Monday, Vacation River and Stream Spectacular. Ages 6-10. Play games, do wetland activities, visit streams and ponds, and help build a big watershed model. * April 20, Tuesday, Vacation Owl Detectives. Ages 6-12. Investigate owls – from the biggest to the smallest – and the differences and adaptations that make them successful hunters. Dissect owl pellets and reconstruct them to identify what the birds actually ate. Then hike into owl habitat, search for signs, and learn to hoot to call them in. * April 21, Wednesday, Vacation at a Vernal Pool. Ages 6-10. Start with games, crafts, and visits from a few animal ambassadors from local vernal pools.
This mounted catamount or Eastern cougar is just one of dozens of exhibits and displays at The Nature Museum at Grafton. After lunch go to vernal pools in Grafton for handson discovery and exploration. * April 22, Thursday, Vacation Earth Day Bumblebee Camp. Ages 9-13. Take a closer look at some of the 20 species of fuzzy pollinator bumblebees in Vermont. April is when bumblebee

Westminster Will Soon Have Community Nurse for Disabled & Seniors Westminster will soon have a community nurse. The board of directors of Westminster Cares voted at its March meeting to contract with a nurse to provide part-time help with basic medical needs to disabled citizens and seniors over 60 years old who don’t qualify for Visiting Nurse Association visits. He or she will also offer services such as flu shot clinics and blood pressure checks at community potlucks. The board allocated $2,500 to the project and will look for grants to cover future costs. Getting the word out to Westminster residents who need and want the services of the town nurse was discussed. The board will send out information to local media, including the Westminster Gazette, as well as distribute flyers and posters. When the Westminster/Rockingham Elder Housing Project holds its first meeting March 30, Westminster Cares will send several representatives to discuss what the organization can offer to the project. That may include transportation to appointments for residents and offering some current programs at the housing. Westminster Cares, the United Church of Bellows Falls, the Council on Aging of Southeastern Vermont, Sojourns Community Health Clinic and the towns of Westminster and Rockingham are collaborating on the housing project. The board also: • unanimously approved spending $300 to underwrite the Westminster Gazette • heard that the annual fundraising appeal has reached $13,475 • discussed plans for a party to recognize its

Grace Cottage Hospital Thank You Editor,the Outlook: On behalf of all of Grace Cottage Hospital’s patients and employees, we would like to express our sincere appreciation to the residents of the towns in southeastern Vermont who voted in support of Grace Cottage Hospital’s funding requests at their March Town Meetings. This extremely important town funding helps Grace Cottage Hospital continue to fulfill its mission of “excellence in healthcare, putting people first” as we provide inpatient and outpatient health care services to the residents of Windham County; town funding also helps Grace Cottage continue to provide medical services for uninsured and underinsured patients. Our thanks go to the people of the towns of Brookline, Dover, Dummerston, Grafton, Jamaica, Londonderry, Marlboro, Newfane, Stratton, Wardsboro, Windham, and Winhall for their generous support of Grace Cottage Hospital, as voted on at Town Meetings across Windham County. The amount approved by all of these towns this year totals $19,800. Not to go unmentioned is Grace Cottage’s exemption from property taxes as a nonprofit hospital – a significant annual savings provided by the Town of Townshend for the past 60 years. In addition, we’d like to take this opportunity to thank individual supporters who are so generous with their gifts to this non-profit hospital – every penny adds up and helps each and every patient treated here.

Above, Bellows Falls second baseman waits to tag out a St. Johnsbury base stealer, as Terrier pitcher Ben Hewitt looks on. Text and photo by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor In a final pre-season tuneup over the weekend, Bellows Falls Union High School, Vermont Academy and St. Johnsbury participated in a Saturday of round-robin format scrimmages as they prepared to open their baseball seasons this week. Watch for continuing coverage of all our local baseball, softball and track teams this season, as well as our high school “spring sports preview” in next week’s issue of the Green Mountain Outlook.
The Outlook On Local History Photo and Text Courtesy of the Black River Academy Museum We wonder how many "olde timers" might remember this church, its location, and what happened to it. In 1875, the Methodist Episcopal Society of Ludlow, an active group in Ludlow since the late 1700's, felt they had sufficient members to build a church. They had been traveling to Andover and later Proctorsville for service. They purchased the land for $1200 and constructed the church for $7200. Expecting an increase in members, the church was built to hold 300 people. By 1899 there were 135 church members and 110 children in sunday school. However, the membership did not grow beyond this and in 1930 the Methodist Church joined with the Congregational Church to become the United Church of Ludlow. As services and most church activities were held in the other church, in 1948 the United Church sold this building to the Ludlow Masons Association. In 1954 the Masons removed the steeple and in 1986 sold the building to the Gassetts Group. In 1987 the Gassetts Group converted it into four individually owned townhouses.
Southeastern Vermont Community Action has announced a new Emergency Home Repair program to serve low-income residents of Windham and Windsor counties. The program, launched through a grant from the American Reinvestment and Recovery Act, was created to address an unmet regional need for emergency home repair for households who either cannot qualify for existing housing rehabilitation loan programs, or have an immediate urgent need for help that cannot be met by other programs. Emergency home repair assistance is identified by SEVCA’s Weatherization and Family Services staff as a significant gap in services in rural Vermont that would be critical to preserving the assets and autonomy of many homeowners, enabling them to live in safe and healthy homes while using their limited resources for basic necessities. Senior citizens, homes with young children, and the disabled are particularly vulnerable when there is a need to address immediate emergency repairs such as leaking roofs; frozen and burst pipes; heating systems; dangerous steps and flooring; or fuel leaks.

April Okemo Regional Chamber Corner The Okemo Valley Regional Chamber of Commerce has been busy. Our first project is hosting the State of Vermont’s Ambassador Program on April 13 from 9 a.m.-noon at the Green Mountain Banquet and Conference Center in Chester (American Legion). This is an opportunity to learn about the different departments in the state and what they offer. Next, we are the ‘test’ market for the Vermont Information sign program. Learn how your business can partner with the state to become a Vermont Info Center ambassador. This program is open to all businesses within the towns of Andover, Cavendish, Chester, Ludlow, Mount Holly, Plymouth and Weston. Another project we are working on is to make Route 100 a byway recognized by the State. There are currently six byways throughout the state and Route 100 is not presently included. We have begun meeting to compile lists of our intrinsic qualities that make up Weston, Ludlow and Plymouth. We have also invited Londonderry and Killington to expand on our efforts to continue the Route 100 byway to the North and South of us. Our third project is looking at alternative locations for Chester businesses that will be affected by the bridge closings in 2011. We’re thinking of a temporary incubator space that can offer retail opportunities that these businesses can co-op. Our golf committee has begun meeting to plan another extraordinary golf tournament on September 15 at 1 p.m. Please call Mary Knight at 228-2260 to participate and/or sponsor the event. We’re keeping the prices the same as last year.

Fall Mountain Drama Club Steals The Show Story by Joe Milliken - Editor Photo courtesy of Peggy Jellie The Fall Mountain Regional High School drama club recently participated in the New Hampshire Educational Theatre Guild Drama Festival in Plymouth, NH, competing for the fourth consecutive year and performing a staged version of the cult film classic Night Of The Living Dead. In the regional competition, the FM drama troupe was one of four schools picked to participate in the State Drama Festival held in Gilford, NH, of which only two of 12 schools are chosen to participate in the New England Drama Festival in Falmouth, ME. The Fall Mountain production also received additional awards for set design and All-State Cast with senior Anthony Van Laere. All performances must be of one act, and can be no longer than 40 minutes, while all members of the play must be present for all performances as well as listening to the adjudicators for all shows or risk being disqualified from the competition. "Theater festivals are such a great way for Fall Mountain students to see top-quality, high school theater," FM drama teacher and production director Dakota Benedetto in a recent interview. "They also get the chance to meet other performers from around the state and also get important feedback from theatrical professionals. "They spent their day watching other performances and listening to the adjudicators critique the other plays, before going on as the last production of the event. The show went on beautifully, including some laughter, as well as some shrieks, from the audience. “The cast ended their play with the lights going out, then for a brief instant the lights come back on with all Zombies lined up on the stage, and pouncing on their next victims in the front row of the audience. Then the
lights go out one final time." "Teching" is also a part of the competition, in which each drama team must show the judges that they can set up and take down their set within a five minute time frame. Another challenge is having to quickly learn unfamiliar sound and light boards for the competition. "When the performance was over they had to clean up their sets, makeup and costumes," Benedetto continued. “At that time they had time for some dancing, eating and making new friends from different schools, while waiting for the adjudicators to make their final decisions. "When the decisions were in, Fall Mountain was chosen to move on to the NH State Drama Festival for the first time ever.” The advancement, however, allowed the students just one week of fundraising to help defer the cost of participating in the state festival, in which case they put on a show for family, friends and classmates to raise funds. A true, all-around team effort in which the entire drama troupe should be extremely proud of. The student cast included Hillary O'Brien, Kyle Gray, Shelby Allen, Anthony Van Laere, Melissa Jellie, Kirk Grimsley, Lindsay Sanchesz-Navaro, Marie Simoneaux, Kevin Padula, Danielle Rios, Rebecca Streeter, Jessica Neilson, Bobby McSweeney, Alex Waters, Olivia Dreifuss, Paige Lambert, Cara Logerfo, Jaqi LaChapelle, India Stribling, Abby St. Pierre, Tyler Gendron, Miara Beauregard and Emily Jellie. The production staff included Kim Gray, Garrett Barnes, Emma Carmody and Nina Simoneaux, the cast stage manager was Molly Tobin and the director was the aforementioned Benedetto. Dakota Benedetto and Peggy Jellie also contributed information to this article.

Mark Erelli Benefit Concert for Homeless On Sunday, April 18 at 7:30 p.m. at the Hooker Dunham Theater, singer, song-writer, multi-instrumentalist, and social activist Mark Erelli will return to Brattleboro to perform a Youth Services fundraising concert to support a housing push for homeless youth. Erelli has performed in Brattleboro numerous times in the past, usually to sold-out audiences at the Hooker Dunham Theater. According to the singer, his music is hard to classify, but reveals the influences of folk, blue grass, rock, blues and country.
Local folk musician and educator, Ron Bos-Lun will open the show with a short set. Youth Services has been working to address the issue of homelessness among the youth population the past two decades, according to Allyson Villars, Executive Director of Youth Services. Many area youth are couch surfing, living in places unfit for human habitation, or in unstable or unhealthy situations—not because of something they did themselves but because of circumstances beyond their control. The concert is sponsored by Crispe & Crispe Law Firm in Brattleboro. Tickets are available at Turn it Up! in Brattleboro, and at Youth Services’ office at 32 Walnut Street in Brattleboro. Tickets purchased in advance are $18 General Admission, $16 Senior/Students. For more information contact Youth Services at 257-0361 or info@youthservicesinc.org

The event is jointly sponsored by World Learning (SIT), Sandglass Theater, and the Whetstone Center for Art and Democracy.

Friesen & Ray Concert Celebrates Release of Colorful Transitions CD “A gift from 1960s rock was this idea of just getting together and playing. It’s way more fun and the audience can feel that.” Friesen has brought that improvisational spirit to his jazz and even classical work, and regularly holds workshops devoted to the idea. That kind of versatility is extremely important for anyone who wants to make a living in music today. He noted that his very talented students at Berklee include cellists who play Bluegrass, Texas Swing, Celtic, folk, World, classical, jazz and rock music. “Any player today is very fortunate to get a position in an orchestra,” he said. “And the orchestras themselves are struggling for funding. If you can improvise and play in different styles, you can have a much richer career.” He sees that with the future of chamber music, which has begun including more improvisation, world music and even versions of rock and metal songs. Friesen, though he is 58 and has been playing for decades, still says he has to practice regularly, especially when he is actively touring and performing several times a week. What has he enjoyed most in his career that has taken him to the furthest corners of the globe? He pauses for several seconds before answering. “What I enjoy most,” he said, “is what we’re doing in Bellows Falls this weekend. The music, the storytelling. It’s a performance.

Feminine Tone Spring Concerts On Saturday, April 24 at 7 p.m. at the North Universalist Chapel in Woodstock at 7 Church Street and on Sunday, April 25 at 4 p.m. at the Springfield Congregational Church at 77 Main Street, the Feminine Tone women’s chorus will celebrate our musical origins and the human connection they inspire. The “Rhythms of our World” concert, directed by Maricel Lucero, award winning soprano and founder and director of the chorus, will feature master percussionist Hafiz Shabazz, director of the World Percussion Ensemble of Dartmouth College, Rafael Flores, guitarist and composer, and pianist Charles Houmard, music director of CT’s Pomfret School and director of local women’s classical chorus, Cantabile. The Feminine Tone chorus also welcomes the musical offerings of Becky Tracy, well known fiddle player in the traditional music band, Nightingale. In “Rhythms of our World,” the chorus will sing traditional music from around the world, including Appalachian, Celtic, Latin American, and jazz. Appalachian folk music, with its English roots and unlimited passion, will be evident in such moving standards as “Barbara Allen” and “Ten Thousand Miles.” A raucous “Cripple Creek,” enhanced by fiddle, will present a contrasting mood of whimsical joy. An Irish set will include a humorous sea shanty and the traditional haunting “Down by the Sally Gardens.” The Latin American set will include a medley of upbeat Cuban folk songs offset by a moving arrangement of “La Bella Cubana,” with director Lucero as the soloist and Rafael Flores on guitar. A donation of $10.00 will be requested at the door. The Feminine Tone is grateful to its many supporters. Visit www.femininetone.com for more information.

(continued from page 12) Winter, who is now 70, several times a year, though in the past it was not unusual for the Consort to perform 100 to 150 dates a year. In addition to his work as a composer, with Ray in the Cello/Piano Project, and with the Paul Winter Consort, Friesen is also full time on the faulty at the Berklee College of Music in Boston, performs with Trio Globo, is an artist-in-residence at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, conducts the Berklee Jazz/World String Orchestra, performs in schools as CelloMan and is the Music Director of Stone Church Arts. Ray, who has played on over 60 albums and worked with dozens of legendary performers, traveled as pianist with Lyle Lovett for many years, and Friesen says that he brings that playfulness to the work of the duo. Ray has performed in concert with an extensive list of pop music icons, notably Bonnie Raitt, Aretha Franklin, Lou Reed, Rickie Lee Jones, Willie Nelson, kd lang and Soul Asylum. He regularly performs with leading figures in the jazz world, among them Gary Burton, Scott Hamilton, Eddie Daniels, Bucky Pizzarelli, Lewis Nash and Rufus Reid, and his classical credits include solo performances and concerts with Gunther Schuller, the Boston Modern Orchestra Project and the Boston Classical Orchestra. Winter, originally from California, lives in a book, art and music filled home in Brattleboro. In addition to all of his other pursuits, he and his wife have also created their own production company, Fiddletalk Music, and Colorful Transitions is their CD release. The album has already signed a contract for distribution in South America, and one for Europe is in the works. Friesen said that the entire CD was recorded in just a couple of sessions at Berklee with engineer producer Stephen Webber using a studio grant. Friesen edited the CD at his home. When asked about his wide variety of musical pursuits, Friesen said it was one of the great joys of his musical career to be involved with so many different kinds of music. “Those of us who take on music as a lifetime pursuit,” he said, “spend a lifetime working in your craft. I’m just trying to express myself through my music.” He noted that one of the great advantages of his classical training, often with 12 hours of practice daily, is that “classical training musicians learn to play their instruments really, really well. But, if you pick up your instrument without sheet music in front of you, what do you have to say? How do you tell your story?

Capitol Letter from Rep. Kathy Pellett, State Representative for Chester, Andover, Baltimore & North Springfield This past week, the House passed three major bills: H. 789 – The Appropriations Bill (or Budget, commonly referred to as “the Big Bill;” H. 783 – The Ways and Means Miscellaneous Tax Bill; and H. 784 – The Transportation Bill. One of the major highlights of the H. 789 Misc. Tax bill is that it sets the Education Property Tax rates for fiscal years 2011 at $0.86 for residential property and $1.35 for nonresidential property – 2 cents below what was projected in December. Another highlight is that capital gains treatment for sale of Vermont business allows for preferential treatment of certain capital gains earned from the sale of a Vermont business, as defined as one continuously registered with the Vermont Secretary of State for 12 years preceding the sale, or one that has had its headquarters in Vermont for 12 years preceding sale. The sale must be of a controlling interest and the business must be limited in size to 10 or fewer shareholders or partners or held only by family members. The FY2011 Budget challenge has been to resolve a $154 million shortfall while preserving support for Vermonters. The budget gap is the result of several things: $20 million less revenue after general fund growth was offset by declining federal stimulus (ARRA) funds; $70 million in Medicaid and health care cost growth; $25 million in retirement expense pressures, in part due to investment losses; and an additional $39 million other pressures throughout state government. H.789 – Budget maintains the health and well being of Vermonters and builds a balanced and
responsible budget while addressing future fiscal challenges. This year ’s budget restores funding critical to keeping elderly Vermonters in their homes – which costs far less than nursing home care. This budget restores the Senior Companion grant; HASS Housing and Supportive Services grants; foster grandparent grant; neighbor-to-neighbor program and funding for long-term Ombudsman care. The budget also restores funding to support Vermonters with disabilities and children with special health need. Earlier this year, the Governor ’s proposed raising the deductible for Catamount health insurance from $250 per individual to $1,200, which would have made it prohibitively expensive. We rejected that huge increase and the new deductible will be $500. The Governor also proposed reducing the dental cap and increasing Medicaid premiums which we rejected. Funding for
The Honey Dew/Do List 45 years experience Insured Handyman Richard Pease-Grant
clinics for the uninsured and Federally Qualified Health Clinics was also restored. This budget represents a number of difficult decisions that impact some people through a change in services and others through higher costs. Meeting needs in a time of fiscal stress requires contributions from all of us. This collaboration – from the administration to public employees and teachers, to our neighbors – is a hallmark of what makes Vermont so special. Everyone helped as the legislature addressed this fiscal crisis. Next week the legislature will be voting on the school consolidation, which I will give you an update in my next Capitol Letter. In the meantime, you can easily reach me at the State House Tuesday through Friday at kpellett@leg.state.vt.us or 1-800322-5616. I am in Chester on weekends and Monday at kathy4house@vermontel.net.

Get In The Game A View On Sports By Editor Joe Milliken
Baseball Is Back! Spring training came to a close over the weekend and the Major League Baseball season is finally under way, with the Red Sox certainly starting their season off with a bang, knocking off the dreaded Yankees in the season-opener, 9-7 at Fenway Park. Here are some reasons to believe the Sox could make a serious run at another championship. First and foremost the Sox have the deepest starting pitching this editor has seen them possess in my 35 years as a Sox follower, but of course the key is (isn't it always) health. In 2004 when the Boston won their first World Series in 87 years, not one of their five starting pitchers missed a single game for the entire season, which was the first and only time that a World series winner had never not lost a start due to injury. Not that we can expect something like that to
happen again, but if Josh Beckett, Jon Lester, John Lackey, Tim Wakefield and Clay Buckholtz can stay healthy, and with Dice-K waiting in the wings to also contribute, the Red Sox have the deepest starting pitching in baseball. However, there have been some early rumblings about the Red Sox power and how the offense is going to score enough runs, but you don't have to hit a lot of homers to score runs. The Sox might not have as much home run power as in years past, but you can also score runs by getting on base and driving runs in with hits, and the Sox have plenty of guys who can do that. Boston has also improved the lower third of their batting order significantly from last season with the additions of Adrian Beltre, Mike Cameron and Marco Scutaro. Now, these players might not strike fear into the opposition if they were sitting at the top of your order, but these guys are pretty good offensive threats in the seven, eight and nine holes in your line up. The Sox might not have anyone who is going to hit 40 home runs this season or even 30, however, all nine hitters in this lineup could reach double-figures in home runs this season.
The number nine hitter Scutaro hit 12 home runs for Toronto last year‌ point being, they might not have a big thumper, but they have hitters up and down the line up that can hit it out of the park if a pitcher makes a mistake. Boston's defense has also improved tremendously, especially on the left side of the diamond. Beltre is a former goldglover at third base, Jacoby Ellsbury will be far better than Jason Bay in left field, Cameron is a former gold-glover now in center field and although Scutaro is not flashy at shortstop, he makes all the plays and is tough as nails. The payroll of the Sox bench players is higher than many teams starters and stacked with experience, including Mike Lowell, Jason Varitek, Bill Hall and Jeremy Hermida. The experienced bench along with six legitimate starters and a deep farm system, also allows the Red Sox some flexibility in possibly making a trade for another bat during the season, if needed. The one potential problem with this years' Sox, however, may be the bullpen. Although Jonathan Papplebon is an all-star closer, he wasn't as dominant last year as in years past and needs to
get back to throwing his split-finger pitch and stop relying exclusively on his fastball. Set up men Daniel Bard and Hideki Okajima are solid, but after that you have Ramon Martinez, Manny Delcarmen, Scott Atchison, Scott Schoenewis and Boof Bonser (that's right, Boof), who are indeed, all question marks. DJ Finally In Hall It was nice to open the sports pages of the Boston Globe on Easter Sunday and read that the late, Boston Celtics guard Dennis Johnson is finally going to be inducted into the Basketball Hall Of Fame, three years after his passing of a heart attack . I scratch my head as to why it took so long though, and it is a shame that the man they called "DJ" is not with us to enjoy the honor. Not only was DJ the point guard on two Celtics championship teams in 1984 and 1986, but he had previously also led the Seattle Supersonics to that city's first major sports title in 1979. He led that team in scoring and was also The Finals MVP. After four seasons with Seattle and three with Phoenix, Celtics general manager Red Auerbach pulled off one of his greatest trades, acquiring DJ and an eventual first round pick in exchange
for an aging Rick Robey and two second round picks. (DJ and a first round pick?) Of course Johnson would go on to help the Celts win two championships and became legendary for his defense against Magic Johnson in multiple Finals appearances throughout the 80's. His number is also hanging from the Garden rafters. DJ was tough and big, (six-foot-six point guard) could hit the outside jumper and drive to the basket, was a great rebounding guard and knew who to get the ball to in certain situations. However what this editor remembers most about DJ was that he was simply a big time, clutch player. Even playing beside Larry Bird and Kevin McHale, when the game was on the line he was not afraid to take the big shot. In fact, I remember a game during The Finals, on the road against the Lakers, in which after DJ had shot horribly from the floor the entire night, hit the last second, game winning shot without hesitation and with icewater in his veins. That was DJ. The only other thing you need to know about Dennis Johnson is that Larry Bird once said DJ was the best player he ever played with. And
that is truly sayin' something. Celts Stretch Run As the end of the NBA regular season draws near, the Boston Celtics recently got a big win against the best team in the league on Easter Sunday, beating LaBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers. Of course nothing comes easy for this Celtics team, after blowing a 21-point lead and having to hang on for the win on national television. However, the bottom line is that they finally got a win against one of the top teams in the East. Boston has not played well against Cleveland, Orlando and Atlanta this season, and they had to prove to themselves that they can beat an elite team, with only a handful of games left in the regular season and the playoffs looming. This team is just too hard to figure out this year. For three quarters on Sunday they absolutely dominated the Cavs in building said 21-point lead, only to let off the gas pedal in the fourth quarter and actually allow Cleveland to take a lead of their own before Boston held on for the win. The C’a are out of time to build any momentum heading into the playoffs so just cross your fingers.
Ct River Valley Stingrays Shine in State Swim Meet Story by Joe Milliken, Sports Editor Photo courtesy of CRV Stingrays The Connecticut River Valley (CRV) Stingrays, a program of the EdgarMay Health and Recreational Center in Springfield, recently competed in the NH State Swim Championships, a three-day meet held in Exeter. It was a strong meet for the young Stingrays as they went up against some of the strongest swimmers in the state, with every member of the team taking time off at least one individual event. Kristen Burlew made perhaps the biggest splash for the Stingrays with a first place finish in the 9-10 year old breaststroke, while eight- year-old Skylar Swan finished second in the 25breaststroke. Other finishes included Alexis Fauver, who swam to a third place finish in the 50butterfly stroke, while Sofia Gulick earned points in three of her events.
The Stingrays squad is also unique in that they possess six sibling swimming duos, who all notched personal best in an event. Jamie Mira placed in the top ten in all events, while sister Sam shaved time off each of her swims.
Duncan and Gyb Spilsbury each dropped their times in their backstroke event, while brother and sister Colin and Dakota Pinney each dropped times in all their events as well. Others who dropped times and collected points
for the team included Harrison and Madeleine Morse, Adrienne and Cody Stevens and Shane and Molly Verespy. The Stingrays also possess great team depth, with several younger swimmers , ranging from ages seven to
nine, all added points to the team total and notching personal best times, including Lily Jones, Katie McNally, Emma Lober, Casie Walton, Molly Rice and Kristin Clark. Hannah Whalen also did a great job by cutting 1.27
seconds off her best time in the challenging 100 IM event. Hannah's father, Pat, is the Stingray coach and has been doing his duties from a wheelchair of late, after a skiing accident. Stingray assistant coach Stephanie Pinney and volunteer parent Phil Drinker also did an excellent job by stepping up to assist coach Whalen. Thanks must also go out to team manager Julie Walton and parent advisory committee chair Beth Ann Drinker. The Stingrays will now take a break for two months, returning to action for the summer season in June. Any swimmer between the ages of six and 18 who is interested in joining the Stingrays, can call 885-2568 for more information or visit them online at www.myreccenter.org.
