Text by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor, Photo by Doug MacPhee In one of the most highly-anticipated area high school football games in recent memory, the rival Springfield Cosmos and Bellows Falls Terriers recently met in their annual “Trophy Game.” However this grid-iron match-up had even more at stake, as the two teams also battled for the Division III regular season title in front of an estimated 1,500 fans at Springfield High School’s Brown Field. For the complete game story and photos, along with additional state tournament coverage, turn to the Outlook sports pages beginning on page 16. Above, Springfield High School running back Matt Mitchell gets wrapped up by the Terrier’s Jake Stratton during last Friday’s “Trophy Game,” under the lights in Springfield.

Springfield Elks Presents Park Street School with New Flag
Thanks for Supporting the Outlook!

Shown from left are Elks Lodge youth chairman Michael Tennis, Exalted Ruler and State Americanism chairman Matthew Moore and Park Street School principal Martha Young.
To Get a Flu Shot or Not Get A Flu Shot: How to Protect Yourself from the H1N1 Flu Virus ill. •Stay at home if you are ill to keep from giving your illness to other people. The CDC recommends that you stay home for at least 24 hours after your fever is gone, except to get medical care or other necessities. (Your fever should be gone without the use of a feverreducing medicine.) Keep away from others as much as possible to keep from making them sick. •Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth. •If you are in the recommended population, get vaccinated. GROUPS RECOMMNDED TO RECEIVE H1N1 VACCINE: •Pregnant women because they are at higher risk of complications and can potentially provide protection to infants who cannot be vaccinated. •Household contacts and caregivers for children younger than 6 months of age, because younger infants are at higher risk of influenzarelated complications and cannot be vaccinated. Vaccination of those in close contact with infants less than 6 months old might help protect infants by “cocooning” them from the virus. •Healthcare and emergency medical services personnel, because infections among healthcare workers have been reported and this can be a potential source of infection for vulnerable patients. Also increased absenteeism in this population could reduce healthcare system capacity. •All people from 6 months through 24 years of age. • Children from 6 months through 18 years
of age because the CDC has seen many cases of H1N1 in children and they are in close contact with each other in school and day care settings, which increases the likelihood of disease spread. • Young adults 19 through 24 years of age because the CDC has seen many cases of H1N1in these healthy young adults. They often live, work, and study in close proximity, and they are frequently a mobile population. •Persons aged 25 through 64 years who have health conditions associated with a higher risk of medical complications from influenza. Once the demand for vaccine for these groups has been met, vaccination for everyone ages 25 through 64 years will be recommended. One difference between H1N1 and seasonal influenza is that adults over age 65 do not appear to have increased risk of complications from H1N1 as they do with seasonal influenza. For that reason, H1N1 vaccination for people over age 65 is not recommended at this
time. You need to seek medical care if you have severe illness or are at high risk of complications from influenza. Seek emergency medical care as follows: In children, for: •Fast breathing or trouble breathing •Bluish or gray skin color •Not drinking enough fluids •Severe or persistent vomiting •Not waking up or not interacting •Being so irritable that the child does not want to be held •Flu-like symptoms improve but then return with fever and worse cough In adults, for: •Difficulty breathing or shortness of breath •Pain or pressure in the chest or abdomen •Sudden dizziness •Confusion •Severe or persistent vomiting •Flu-like symptoms improve but they return with fever or worse cough For more information visit www.springfieldhospital.org.

Submitted by Anna Smith Springfield Hospital This year, with the emergence of the H1N1 influenza virus, the flu season that generally lasts from October through May never really ended. H1N1 infections were first identified in April of 2009 in the United States and Mexico as seasonal influenza infections were beginning to ebb. Since then the virus has traveled around the globe and is now making an encore appearance in the United States, hand and hand with the old faithful seasonal influenza. As the season continues, it can be expected that more influenza-type illness than usual will occur due to the fact that many people have not been vaccinated against, or had prior exposure to, the new H1N1. Fortunately, the severity of illness caused by H1N1 does not appear to have increased. Most people infected with H1N1 have symptoms similar to seasonal influenza. Though these symptoms are in no way pleasant, they are well tolerated by most healthy people. SYMPTOMS OF H1N1 •Onset can be quite rapid •Fever (usually high) •Dry cough •Headache •Tiredness and weakness (can be extreme) •Sore throat •Runny or stuffy nose •Body or muscle aches •Nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea (much more common among children than adults) HOW TO PROTECT YOURSELF According to the CDC, H1N1 is thought to spread the same way as seasonal influenza. Flu viruses spread mainly from person to person through coughing or sneezing by people with influenza. Sometimes, people may become infected by touching something, such as a surface or object with flu viruses on it, and then touching their eyes, mouth, or nose. To protect yourself: •Get enough rest and eat right. •Wash you hands with soap and water often; or use alcohol-based hand sanitizer when soap and water are not available. •Cough into your sleeve or a tissue and wash your hands after disposing of the tissue. •If at all possible, stay away from people who are

Bill Hosley Program at Martin Memorial Hall in Ascutney On Sunday, November 8 at 2 p.m. Bill Hosley will present a program entitled "Reading" Places: Art, Architecture, and Gravestones in Early Vermont at Martin Memorial Hall in Ascutney. It is being sponsored by
the Weathersfield Historical Society and the Vermont Humanities Council. In developing their towns, early Vermont settlers created a wide range of things that spoke to their values, background, skills and
cultural attitudes. Their a r c h i t e c t u r e , gravestones, furniture, ironwork, paintings, pottery, and textiles are evocative of specific people, places, and situations. This lecture and slide p r e s e n t a t i o n
demonstrates how art and artifacts can be used to understand historical experience while surveying the extraordinary visual allure of historic Vermont. For more information, contact Ginger Wimberg at 263-5626.

as an infantry platoon leader in the Army's 1st Calvary Division in 1965-66. In 2008 he spent a month traveling through the Central Highlands, revisiting areas where his former Army unit operated. Almost by accident Heaney was fortunate enough to make contact with a regional Vietnamese veterans' organization and befriend a few of its leaders. These former enemies were instrumental in arranging his return to the site of the ambush. Heaney will show slides taken on this healing journey and tell his story that followed so many years after his wartime experiences. Heaney resides in Hartland, Vermont. He is a graduate of Middlebury College, Harvard Law School, and Rutgers University. He practiced law for 25 years before turning to teaching, primarily at Rutgers and Trinity College. He did volunteer work for 15 years with veterans diagnosed by the Veterans Administration with PTSD.

The Springfield Garden Club recently enjoyed a "Fall Arrangement Workshop" where they learned the design basics of flower arranging from Berthe Cowles of www.Vermontflowerladies.com of Londonderry. Not only did they have fun creating their own arrangement to take home, this provided them to opportunity to review and perfect their skills in preparation for their Creative Workshop where they will be making holiday centerpieces and wreaths to sell at their upcoming Festival of Trees. The public is invited to attend their 17th annual Festival of Trees with the theme of "An Olde Fashioned Christmas" which will take place on Friday, November 20 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Fullerton Inn in Chester. Tickets are $30 per person and can be purchased at the door. This event typically kicks off the holiday celebration season in the area. It is a festive evening of viewing the holiday trees decorated by the creative garden club members. A favorite will be the Scherenschnitt tree with intricately cut paper decorations that the club members painstakingly created using old fashioned traditional German scissorcutting techniques. This gala holiday party will feature hors d'oeuvres, wine and cider. There will be holiday decorations created by the members for purchase as well as featured items for a Silent Auction and many prizes to be awarded in raffle drawings. This is the major fundraiser of the club which supports their community projects, mainly their civic beautification of local community garden areas and student scholarships. In photo, Springfield Garden Club members display arrangements they created at a recent workshop.

With Youth Hunting Weekend Upon Us - Hunters Reminded Wear Blaze Orange Submitted by Fish & Wildlife Hunters must decide what color to wear when they go afield, but only blaze orange has a proven safety record. Just one huntingrelated shooting is too many. It’s, of course, a tragedy for the victim and the shooter and their families. However, it’s also a black eye for all hunters, because no matter how rare, each incident casts hunting in a bad light by reinforcing the perception that hunting is dangerous. Thus, the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department strongly urges hunters to include some fluorescent hunter orange clothing with their other essential gear. The recommendation is especially important for all deer hunting except archery season, as well as for bear, hare, rabbit, grouse, and woodcock hunting. “Hunter orange is highly visible to humans, but not to deer,” said Chris Saunders, Vermont’s Hunter Education Coordinator.
“The hunters who wear it are just as likely to be successful, yet nationwide data shows they are seven times less likely to be shot by another hunter.” Hunting is certainly safe and getting safer thanks to mandatory hunter education. There were just four huntingrelated shootings last year, and all were nonfatal. But it could be even safer if all hunters wore at least a hunter orange hat and vest. “In the past ten years, almost half of the state’s hunting accidents might have been prevented if the victims had worn hunter orange,” said Saunders. In a review of 20 years of Vermont hunting accident reports, hunters moving into the line of fire of other hunters and mistaking other hunters for game are two of the three most common causes of the state’s accidents. Both types involve visibility problems, and both underscore the need for hunters to see and be seen during the fall firearms deer season.
A New York study found that 94 percent of hunters involved in mistaken for game accidents were not wearing hunter orange. This is statistic is even more startling when you consider that 81 percent of New York hunters do wear hunter orange. Concerns that deer are scared by hunter orange are unfounded. Recent research suggests deer do see color, but they have no red-sensitive cone cells, so they can't tell red or orange from green and brown. In addition, deer have a different sensitivity to various wavelengths of light. They see short wavelength colors such as blue brighter than humans do, but are less sensitive to longer wavelengths such as orange and red, so these colors look darker. Fluorescent colors like hunter orange look bright to humans because they absorb UV rays we can't see and turn them into longer wavelengths we can see. The effect is opposite for deer. Hunter orange
reflects less of the UV that deer see well and more of the rays deer don't see as well. Regardless of how well they see it, ample anecdotal evidence suggests they aren’t bothered by it. Yearly deer harvests in many of the states that require hunter orange, like Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania exceed several hundred thousand animals a year. However, even blaze orange won’t help you if you don’t follow the four basic rules of safe hunting: 1) Treat every gun as if it is loaded. 2) Point your gun in a safe direction. 3) Keep your finger off the trigger until you are ready to shoot. 4) Be sure of your target and beyond. Remember, hunting is very safe – but it could be even safer if all hunters wore a hunter orange vest and hat. You don’t want to be the only hunter in the woods without it. Hunt smart, think safety, and good luck.

The Southern Vermont Arts Center’s 2009 Summer-Fall Art Workshop Series comes to a seasonally appropriate close on November 5 and November 6, when pastel master Robert K. Carsten, PSA, presents The Wintery Landscape. Whether just after a snowstorm as the sun breaks through or in the thick of a snow squall, pastel can capture exhilarating atmospheric effects. Students of The Wintery Landscape will discover and practice re-creating the nuanced and subtle hues of winter alongside the almost startlingly brilliant colors that compose Vermont’s winter landscape. The workshop will, among other things, cover various ways to soften edges and create exciting neutrals to support the weather and atmospheric conditions being painted. All levels welcome. $160 SVAC members/$185 non-members. Carsten is a signature member of the Pastel Society of
America and the Connecticut Pastel Society and is a regular contributing writer to The Pastel Journal and The Artist’s Magazine.

Comparison of Vermont Yankee to Chernobyl: Correct or Incorrect? Editor, the Outlook: On October 15, the Reformer printed a letter to the editor from George Harvey. Mr. Harvey’s letter had incorrect information comparing Chernobyl to Vermont Yankee. Anyone who has studied the accident at Chernobyl would know that such an accident is not possible at Vermont Yankee for a number of reasons: 1. The plant design did
not contain even the most basic safety features that are mandatory in any US plant including primary containment. Vermont Yankee has both a primary and secondary containment. 2. The accident at Chernobyl occurred after the operating crew intentionally disabled several of the plant’s safety systems to perform a test. Entergy management and the NRC would
never allow such a test outside of the plant design-basis to occur at any US nuclear plant. 3. Vermont Yankee’s spent fuel is protected by facilities that are hardened against impacts and natural disasters. The design has been thoroughly reviewed and approved by the NRC and the Vermont Public Service Board prior to implementation.
Such distortion, fearmongering and misinformation as written in Mr. Harvey’s letter are not helpful in any debate. If you educate yourselves on the issues surrounding such nuclear accidents, you will find that the nuclear industry has learned from them and is safer than ever. Terri Smith, Hinsdale, NH
Vermont Yankee: Multiple Systems Used to Update & Assess Plant Editor, the Outlook: Public and editorial comments are frequently published that describe Vermont Yankee as an aging plant that is falling apart with no mention of the multiple processes the station uses to continuously assess plant, system and component health; programs and processes like corrective action, maintenance (corrective, preventative, elective) operator rounds, quality oversight, supervisory oversight, use of site, fleet
and industry operational experience, surveillance, inspection, monitoring, benchmarking and assessments to name a few. Each of these processes is part of our nuclear culture. The plant was built and licensed with the understanding that equipment would malfunction or need to be replaced. That’s why we have redundant systems and components, NRCissued technical specifications prescribing allowed outage times for key
components and a skilled workforce that repairs or replaces equipment when needed. And when things break that we did not anticipate, we invoke our processes to understand why, and we put corrective actions in place to either prevent or minimize the possibility of recurrence. The processes mentioned above are used to effectively and safely operate the plant. Vermont Yankee's reliability is in the top quartile of all nuclear plants in the
world. When you are considering if the Vermont Yankee operating license should be extended, do so with the understanding that it’s not just about the physical plant, it’s also about the workers and management who are always looking for ways to improve ourselves, our programs and processes, and the performance of the station. It’s who we are. RJ Wanczyk, Greenfield, MA

The Town of Cavendish Ancient Roads committee was formed in 2006 following passage of Act 178 by the Vermont Legislature. The Act allows Towns the opportunity to identify and add to their town highway map all town highways and trails that it decides to retain as a public right of way. The Act also provides a process for the discontinuance of roads that the Selectboard determines are no longer desired as a public right of way. The window of opportunity to take this action is rapidly coming to a close.

Golfers Raise a Half Ton of Food for BRGNS KofC Soccer Shoot-Off Six years ago a small group of people who golf at Okemo Valley Golf Course decided to hold a friendly golf tournament, the cost to be in the tournament was a bag full of food which would be give to Black River Good Neighbor Services in Ludlow. This year, on September 23, 16 friends met again to enjoy a day of golf followed by a pot luck dinner at one of the members homes. The cost of participating this year changed for a very good reason…the golfers found out that a $10 donation to BRGNS would become 30 pounds worth of food to feed their neighbors in need. A total of $325 was raised, which means 975 lbs of food will be purchased for the BRGNS Food Shelf. Those who participated this year were Jim & Carol Mohan, Judy Snyder, Dave Moulton, Larry Plumb, Mary Lou Shaw, Peg Carridi, Martha Damone, Bob Smith, Marty Harrison, Pat and Dave Hasselman, Val and John MacNamara and Christine & Jim Fuller. “The hope is to start expanding this Friends of BRGNS tournament in future years. The end results will
mean more food for a cause that we feel very strongly about, after all BRGNS is a neighborhood resource that serves Cavendish, Proctorsville, Plymouth, Mt. Holly and Ludlow and we are pleased to help them.” Said Jim Mohan who has organized the teams for the last 6 years. Jim also added “we want to thank OVGC for helping us organize out little group and for donating prizes”. Finishing in First Place was the team of John MacNamara, Christine Fuller, Martha Damone, and Pat Hasselman, for closest to the Pin, the men’s winner was Jim Fuller and the ladies winner was Christine Fuller. Above, golfing for a good cause are the Friends of BRGNS .

Fundraiser for Our Place
Families in Need for Walpole Giving Tree The congregations of Walpole, NH have a Community Christmas Fund and every holiday season, the area clergy join with the Ecumenical Youth Group to offer the Giving Tree Project to families in need. This project offers holiday gifts to families in Walpole and North Walpole. An offering is taken at the Community Thanksgiving Service to support this fund. This year ’s service will be on Wednesday, November 24 at 7 p.m. at St. Joseph Catholic Church in Walpole. If you know of a family
that could benefit from being part of the Giving Tree Project, please contact Reverend Susan Kershaw at St. John’s Episcopal Church, 603756-4533. The deadline for entry into the Giving Tree Project is November 13. Many families have to choose how they use their limited resources and it must go to heating their houses and putting food on the table before winter clothing, books or a toy for their child. Let us come together as communities of faith to support one another and this local village project.
Hey, Thief! Please Return My Kayak! Editor, the Outlook: When I retired, I pondered long and hard as to what my twilight years hereby would be. Alas, a friend introduced me to still-water kayaking which for me was affordable, living on a limited income. I have enjoyed that little kayak more than words can say. That is, until last Saturday or Sunday evening when
someone boldly came up to the senior housing in Alstead where I live and stole my kayak. May I remind the perpetrator that I have the matching paddle if they would like that too. Call before you come. The kayak is a blue Wilderness Critter, 9.5' long. Ruth Mezzetti Alstead, NH

Globalization Discussion at Library On Tuesday, November 10 at 7 p.m., the Rockingham Free Public Library welcomes Arnold Clift, former World Bank executive, for an informative and significant talk on the “pros and cons” of globalization. As the countries and societies of the world are becoming increasingly interdependent, it may be useful to try to analyze some of the more important dimensions of globalization and examine how different groups of people and countries have fared from the process. Given the broad scope of the topic and its complex character, the talk will be an introduction and overview of the subject. The discussion will explore the main “winners and losers” from globalization, and how it is affecting both industrialized and developing countries. The roles of the IMF, World Bank and WTO in the global economy will be briefly examined and also how the globalization process might be reformed to achieve greater equity. For more information call, 463-4270.

Mind Dancing Under the Disco Ball: Random Musings on Popular Culture by
Robert F. Smith – Editor (As the self-proclaimed coolest newspaper office in New England, The Outlook has its own working disco ball, an icon to truly inspire random, deep thought, for sure.) A friend recently gave me a few CDs from a band that he’d seen play several times in this area, and that he assumed was a local, Vermont-based band. The band is called The Alternate Routes. I didn’t like the name, and expected a local band sound, but was blown away when I put on the CDs. This is a good band, and I knew within a couple of songs that this was no local outfit. A band this talented anywhere in Vermont would be getting a lot of attention. Formed at Fairfield College in Connecticut in 2002 by Tim Warren and Eric Donnelly, the Bridgeport, CT-

based band played extensively around the Northeast during it’s early years. An early Cd, The Brooklawn Sessions, was later redone in Nashville with producer Jay Joyce and released in2007 on Vanguard as goodandrecklessandtrue, and it’s a great CD. Their latest release is A Sucker’s Dream, which includes a guest appearance by Patty Griffin. Warren is the distinctive and very talented lead singer and songwriter. His songs are intelligent , and his writing is as distinctive as his voice. Donnelly is the lead guitarist, and also plays lap steel and provides backing vocals. Other long time members are Chip Johnson on bass and keys and Mike Sembos on rhythm guitar and keys. There have been a revolving trio of drummers, with Mike Stavitz currently filling that role. Earlier this year the band opened for Kevin Costner ’s band Modern West. They probably won’t be playing many small local venues anymore! •••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Website Recommendation of the Week: www.pandora.com. If you haven’t discovered Pandora Radio yet, you’re in for a treat. Pandora is a website that allows you to essentially create your own radio stations based on a particular song or artist and expanding out weblike from there. You direct the programming by noting whether you like or dislike the songs the station selects. It pays to stay on top of the programming. My Bottle Rockets station keeps trying to drop in Tim McGraw and Toby Keith, probably because it includes Pat Green. No offense against McGraw and Keith, but I’ve got no interest in listening to music you can hear on a thousand FM radio stations. Pop country is not on the top of my musical interests. Which brings us to my favorite part of Pandora - all of the new music that it will introduce you to. Based on several leading indicators in your music of choice and in the songs that you check as liked or disliked, the station will play songs that it feels are similar. Sometimes the selections are definitely off-base, but more often than not, there will be some good choices, and frequently this will include new music you may not be familiar with. Pandora has introduced me to a dozen or more obscure bands that I really like, but probably would not have heard about. Another favorite feature is that for each song, you can access background information on the performer or band, and some of it is by some very good music writers.

World Music at Stone Church Arts On Saturday, November 7 at 7:30 p.m., Stone Church Arts once again “brings the world to Bellows Falls.” Ansambl Mastika will perform music from Greece, Serbia, Macedonia, Turkey and Bulgaria in a style they call the ‘New Balkan Uproar ’ at Immanuel Episcopal Church at 20 Church Street in Bellows Falls. With song styles ranging from the heart-wrenching clarinet 'miroloi' of northern Greece to the funkier ãoãeci of the Serbian and Macedonian Roma (gypsies); from the oriental mystery of Turkish çalg› ensembles to the driving power of Bulgarian wedding bands, Ansambl Mastika’s music is rooted in the myriad styles of the Balkan Peninsula. We blend these tumultuous and irresistible sounds with the spontaneity and global sensibility of downtown jazz musicians in an approach we like to call the ‘New Balkan Uproar ’. As members of such luminary NYC-based groups as Zlatne Uste Balkan Brass Band, Slavic Soul Party!, the Zagnut (Cirkus) Orkestar and Romashka we have helped bring the music of Eastern Europe to a broad audience in New York City and beyond. Through our work with these projects we have personalized a large variety of Balkan musical traditions. Since 2006, Ansambl Mastika has offered a fresh perspective on the important tradition of getting audiences out of their seats and onto the dance floor. Stone Church Arts concerts take place at Immanuel Episcopal Church, 20 Church St., Bellows Falls. Tickets are $15 ($10 for seniors, students and children under 12) in advance and $18 ($12) at the door.

Kunin at VT Voices Misty Valley Books’ Vermont Voices 2009, in its ninth annual edition, will host Madeleine Kunin, three-term Governor of Vermont and former Ambassador to Switzerland, on Sunday, November 8. She will present her book, Pearls, Politics, and Power, newly in paperback, at the First Universalist Church in Chester’s Stone Village at 2 p.m. Pearls, Politics, and Power is a call to action for new political engagement and leadership. Informed by conversations with elected women leaders from all levels, Kunin asks: What difference do women make? What is the worst part of politics, and what is the best part? What inspired these women to run, and how did they prepare themselves for public life? How did they raise money, protect their families' privacy, deal with criticism and attack ads, and work with the good old boys? Pulitzer Prize-winning historian and biographer Doris Kearns Goodwin says: "A natural storyteller, Kunin combines her personal journey in politics with the stories of dozens of female politicians. Writing with wisdom, intelligence and warmth, she provides a guide for women at all levels who might seek to enter public life.” She interviews then-Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton and analyzes her campaign for the presidency. Other interviewees include U.S. Representatives Loretta Sanchez, Linda Sanchez, Deborah Pryce, and Tammy Baldwin, and U.S. Senators Susan Collins, Amy Klobuchar, and Carol Moseley Braun, as well as Governors Kathleen Sibelius and Janet Napolitano. Kunin was the first woman governor of Vermont, and served as the Deputy Secretary of Education and Ambassador to Switzerland under President Bill Clinton. The remaining Vermont Voices 09 authors are, on November 15, Philip Baruth, professor at the University of Vermont and Vermont Public Radio commentator. He will talk about his new historical novel, The Brothers Boswell. On November 22, Robert Cohen, who teaches at Middlebury College, will present his recent novel, Amateur Barbarians. A reception and book signing at the church will follow each. For more information call Misty Valley Books at 875-3400 or visit www.mvbooks.com. In photo, Madeline Kunin.

Get In The Game A View On Sports By Outlook Editor Joe Milliken
The local fall sports high school tournaments are underway, with plenty of area teams right in the thick of it. In Springfield and after winning their Division II first round tournament game over U-32, 3-1, the Springfield High School field hockey team lost a t o u g h o n e i n the second round to Windsor, 2-1. After senior Megan O'Neill got both Yellowjacket goals in the first half, the Lady Cosmos rallied back in the second
half to get within a goal thanks to Jessie Haskell, who ripped a low shot past Windsor keeper Katelyn Curtis at 21:39, however Springfield could not get the tying goal to send it to overtime. However the numbereight seeded Cosmos did a great job in upsetting number-two seed U-2 in the first round, and nearly pulled off a second big win over Windsor. Hats off to first year coach Bindy Hathorn for rallying the troops late in the season. She had some big shoes to fill in replacing coach Joy Benson. --------------------------In Townshend, the number-three seeded Leland & Gray boys' soccer team recently knocked off number-six Hazen, 21, in a quarter final match up. After Hazen had taken a 1-0 lead 15 minutes into the contest on their first
shot on goal, the Rebels came back with a goal from senior Tyler Russell to go into the half tied at one. Then at the 15 minute mark of the second half, Noah Chapin lofted a shot from 25 yards out that somehow made it's way into the net for the insurance goal. At press time the Rebels were preparing for a match up with number-two seeded Stowe, who come into the match at 11-2-2. The Rebels are currently 12-4-0. ------------------------In Machester, the number-two seeded Burr & Burton Academy boys' soccer team notched a 4-2 win in their Division I semi final match up against Colchester. The Bulldogs got a hat trick and an assist from Brandon Ogilvie, a goal and an assist from Dan Favreau and two assist from Steve Mull in the
win. Matt Rosenthal made five saves in the victory, which put the Bulldogs at 14-1-0 on the season as they got ready to face number-seven-seeded Rutland. In taking on the Raiders at a very windy Applejack Field, BBA got the only goal of the first half from Favreau while against the wind, and added two more in the second half with the wind at their back, for a 3-0 shut out over Rutland. Brandon Oglive scored the second goal on a nice cross from Alex Miskovsky, with the duo striking a second time for the insurance goal with under three minutes in regulation. At press time, the Bulldogs were getting ready to face the number-three seed Essex on Wednesday, who are 13-3 on the season.
Staying in Manchester, the BBA football team recently finished off a tough season on a high note, knocking off Mill River to finish at 3-6 in Division I. The Bulldogs got three touchdown passes from Patrick Jordan and three rushing touchdowns from running back Jared Bove in the win. Jake Coyle, Nash Lancaster and Nick Perni all caught TD passes, while Jake Oliver also scored a touchdown on the ground. --------------------The Bellows Falls Union High School girls' soccer team recently lost their first round match up against number-three seeded Peoples Academy, although the numberfourteen seeded Lady Terriers played tough in the 5-2 loss. After Peoples had taken an early lead, the Lady Terriers bounced back
with a goal to tie it up, however an early surge in the second half put the game out of reach. Sarah Dumont and Marissa Smith scored the goals for Bellows Falls, while Tia Billado made 12 saves in the loss. --------------------------In girls’ soccer tournament action, Rutland recently traveled to South Burlington to take on Rice, dropping a 4-0 match to the numberthree seeded Lady Green Knights. Rice’s Brittany Pfaff dominated the match, scoring all four of the Green Knight goals, two of which came in the first 10 minutes of the contest and a another before the half. Ellen Boucher added two assists and goalie Alayna Haute made six saves to preserve the shut out. Rutland finishes their season at 9-6-1.
Cosmos Outlast Terriers In The Trophy Game The win puts the Cosmos at 7-2 overall and 7-1 in Division III, while the loss put the Terriers at 7-2 overall and 6-1 in the same division. That's about as tight as it gets folks! And this game was certainly worth all the hype, a back-and-fourth barn-burner from start to finish. The Cosmos got on the board first when senior,
all-everything quarterback Brandon Boyle completed a pass to Jon Esden for 68-yards, before running back Matt Mitchell punched it in for a 5-yard touchdown. After Billy Wheeler's extra point it was 7-0. The Terriers struck back at the start of the second quarter after senior Ben Hewitt picked off a pass at the Cosmos 10-yard line, before
running back Ryan Hayward scored from the 7-yard line. BF got another score when linebacker David Kissell recovered a fumble, setting up a touchdown run from Tim Muzzey and good for a 12-7 lead. However, the Cosmos came right back again with a nine-yard touchdown pass from
Boyle to Esden for a 13-12 Springfield lead at the half. In the second half, and with just over six minutes left in the third quarter, the Terriers struck again on a 3-yard touchdown run from Hewitt to make it 18-13 Bellows Falls, before Matt Mitchell made a huge play by blocking the extra point which

kept the lead at only five points. Then the defending state champs showed why they are just that, driving 68-yards for the go-ahead touchdown, capped off by the aforementioned Boyleto-Esden touchdown pass. To the Terriers credit and with just 2:17 left, they got the ball one last time starting on their own 31-yard line, but the drive was stopped on the Cosmos 33-yard line on a big interception from Colin LaPlante to end a very even and thrilling game between these two long-time rivals. The win was the fourth-straight Trophy Game victory for the Cosmos, however Bellows Falls still leads the all-time series, 48-424. Now both teams must sit back and wait for the "quality point rating" system the state uses to determine playoff pairings, a system that quite frankly, does not make much sense, but that's a whole other story. One thing is for sure however, that both of these teams will be in the playoffs and chasing a state championship.

TOP-SEEDED COSMOS RALLY LATE IN WIN OVER MONTPELIER Story and photos by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor The Springfield High School boys' soccer team entered the Division II state tournament as the number-one seed with an impressive 12-2 record. However after being upset in the first round of the playoffs last year, coach Paul Kendall and his team knows that records and seeds mean nothing and you shouldn't take anything for granted. So on this soggy day in Springfield, the Cosmos took on number-eight seeded Montpelier as if they were a number-one seed themselves, which turned out to be a good idea in what would become a defensive struggle. This was especially the case in the first half, as neither team could get much offense going on the wet field. In fact, at the mid-way point of the first half, both teams had mustered just one shot on goal. In the last 10 minutes
of the half, the Cosmos offense started to click, generating a few good opportunities and forcing Montpelier goal keeper Nathan Koenemann to make several nice saves in a short period of time. However the best chance of the half might of come from the Salons, when after beating a defender just outside the box, junior Ryan Dell'Amico blasted a shot from about 15 yards out that went just wide of the left post. In the second half, both teams continued to play disciplined defense and somewhat cautious on offense, however the Cosmos did carry most of the play into the Salons end of the field, yet with nothing to show for it on the scoreboard. However, with just under seven minutes left in regulation the Cosmos front line took charge with some nice passing that produced a shot from 10 yards out for Derek Graham, who
pushed a shot inside the left post for what would turn out to be the only goal of the match. To Montpelier's credit however, this contest was far from over, as a couple corner kicks in the last two minutes produced great scoring chances for the Salons. One of which had to be stopped from going into the net by Cosmos mid fielder Cody Filkins, who barely stopped the shot from going in after keeper Jordan Pfenning had come out of the net to try and make the play. It was a tight win for Springfield, who at press time await the winner of number-five seeded Rice and number-four U-32 match up. Stay tuned. Clockwise from upper right, Springfield’s John Kendall pushes through the defense, the Cosmos’ Colin Brady looks to cross a ball past a defender, Kendall blasts a shot towards the box, James Karkowski takes a shot and two players fight for a loose ball as the Cosmos’ bench looks on.

Presidents Forge Ahead In Division IV Tournament Story and photos by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor The Black River High School boys’ soccer team recently began their defense of the Division IV state championship, by outlasting Long Trail, 2-0, at a chilly Dorsey Park in Ludlow. Entering the tournament as the number-four seed with an 11-3-1 record, the Presidents had all they could handle in a number-13 seed Lynx team that played a smart, conservative game that had the match in a scoreless tie at halftime. Despite most of the play forced by Black River, they managed only a few quality shots against a steady Long Trail back line which did a good job at marking up the opponent. Although Lynx goal keeper John Krieg was forced to make several saves in the final six minutes of the half.
The second half remained scoreless until Black River finally broke through at the 15:36mark when junior Carson Kathan made a nice cross to Mathias Philipsen who planted a shot high and inside the right post for a 1-0 lead. With 3:01 left in regulation, senior captain Kippie Turco scored an insurance goal to seal the win. Despite the victory however, it appeared the presidents weren’t very happy with their performance, and know they will have to pick it up in the next round if they are to continue their quest for a second straight title. “We played 20 minutes of soccer out of 80,” coach Valente told reporters after the game. “You can’t coast.” -------------------------In the quarter final round against number-
twelve seeded Blue Mountain, the Presidents did a good job at controlling the game in taking home a 2-0 win at Dorsey Park in Ludlow. Black River got on the scoreboard just twelve minutes into the match on a goal from Mathais Philipsen for the only score of the first half, before Benjamin Farrow scored an insurance goal with just under 17 minutes remaining in regulation. Another key to this game was the jail house defense put forth by the Presidents, whose goal keeper Chris Kowalski only needed to make two saves to preserve the shut out. With the win, Black River (now 12-3-1) advances to the semi final round to take on number-one seeded Proctor on the road, who now stand at 15-0-1.
Lady Presidents Looking For Fourth Straight State Title The Black River High School girls' soccer team recently began the defense of their Division IV state championship. In fact, the Lady Presidents are shooting for four in a row. Taking on numberfourteen seed Danville in Ludlow, Black River could have easily looked past this match. However, you don't win three straight state titles by taking any team for granted. Senior Hannah Josselyn led the way for Black River with a hat trick, while Angie Valente and Amanda Chambers also pitched in with a goal each to round out the scoring. Lady President goal keeper Zoe Trimboli was only forced to make four saves to earn the shut out, in front of her smart and stingy defense. The win put Black River at 12-1-2 entering
the quarter finals against a Proctor team they would be facing for the fourth time this season, previously producing two wins and a loss. -------------------------In the following quarter final round, the number-six seeded Proctor Lady Phantoms indeed came to Dorsey Park for up the fourth meeting with Black River, with really nothing to lose against the defending state champs. Therefore they played conservatively on offense and deliberate on defense, content to only push the offense when the opportunity was clearly there. And for most of the first half the strategy worked and kept them in the game. At the start, neither team could get much offense going as play hovered around midfield, until the Lady
Presidents finally broke through 10 minutes in, when senior Hannah Josselyn lofted a corner kick into the box that bounced high, before senior Tina Valente planted it inside the left post for a 1-0 lead. However, Proctor answered right back just two minutes later when Mikayla McCormack made a nice one-on-one move past a defender before lofting a shot just inside the far post to tie the game. Black River would then wake up and begin to click a little more on offense, putting more pressure on the Proctor defense until they finally broke the tie with under three minutes left when a lofting Josselyn shot bounced through the hands and over the head of keeper Elizabeth Falco, with Angie Valente right there to tap the loose ball into the net.
In the second half, Proctor would continue to play smart, conservative soccer, however as they began running out of time in the match, started to take more chances in the offense end, but couldn't get the tying goal. The Lady President sealed the game in the final two minutes, when Josselyn planted a penalty kick for the 3-1 win. Josselyn also had assists on the other two Black River goals. At press time, the Lady Presidents were getting ready for a semifinal round match up at number-two seeded South Royalton, who are 15-0-1 coming into the match. Clockwise from upper right, Angie Valente taps in the second goal, Proctor goalie Elizabeth Falco stretches for a save, BR’s Gabe Macklin fights for a ball and Hannah Josselyn blasts a shot into a defender.

Played under the lights at Springfield’s brown Field under the lights, the Cosmos took the lead in the fourth quarter, then the defense hung on and stopped a late Terrier drive to preserve a 19-18 win.

Humble Shepherd’s Pie – A Comfort Food Favorite Shepherd's Pie, also known as Cottage Pie, is made with minced or ground meat and covered with a mashed potato crust. While the recipe's origins are not clear, it's presumed to hail from Britain or Ireland. Typically, the pie contained lamb meat (since that's what a shepherd would tend to). Over the years, the recipe has been changed in many ways, although one thing remains constant: This savory dish hits the spot on a brisk or chilly day. Cheesy Shepherd's Pie is a practical way to use up leftover meat and potatoes. It also leaves some room for creativity, allowing you to customize with favorite vegetables and spices. Adding a creamy, nutty cheese like Jarlsberg to the filling and potato crust gives the dish an especially pleasing taste, fusing all the flavors together. This modest pie may quickly become a family favorite. Cheesy Shepherd's Pie Meat Mixture:
2 cloves garlic, minced 1 cup each chopped onion and green or red pepper 2 cups chopped mushrooms 2 teaspoons Worcestershire, or to taste 2 cups cooked chopped or ground lamb or beef, with fat drained 1 cup shredded Jarlsberg or Jarlsberg Lite cheese 1 cup brown gravy (homemade or store bought) Topping: 1 cup shredded Jarlsberg or Jarlsberg Lite cheese 2 cups fresh, instant or leftover mashed potatoes 1/2 cup skimmed milk 2 teaspoons dried
thyme Preheat oven to 425F°. In large nonstick skillet, sauté garlic over medium heat until golden. Add onion and pepper and sauté until beginning to brown, about 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and sauté a few minutes more. Remove from heat and stir in Worcestershire, meat,
cheese and gravy. Spoon mixture into oval, round or square baking dish. Combine 4 ingredients for topping and spread this mixture on top (or you can pipe it around the edge of dish). Bake 20 minutes. Serves four. For more recipes, tips and entertaining ideas, visit www.norseland.com.
