African sculpture stolen On April 29, the owners of a building located at 315 Pease St. in Dorset arrived home to realize their valuable sculpture was stolen from their property. The artwork is a Shona sculpture weighing 150-200 pounds. It’s approximately five feet tall and three feet wide. The sculpture, titled “U-Kama”, was created by an artist in Zimbabwe, Africa. The investigation revealed the sculptor was stolen between 12:30 and 1:30 p.m. Evidence at the scene also indicated that more then one suspect is involved. The sculptor depicts a family in a circle with outstretched arms. Anyone with any information on the whereabouts of this sculpture or persons responsible for this theft is urged to contact Lt. Reg Trayah at the Vermont State Police, Shaftsbury Barracks. 802442-5421
Sex offenders on a short leash locally During the first two weeks of April, law enforcement agencies in the Troop C area (Bennington, Rutland and Addison counties) worked collectively to verify that the registered sex offenders that listed their residence within the area were in compliance. “Each of the three State Police station commanders assigned Troopers to verify that every registered offender within the State Police coverage area resided at the address they supplied to the registry,” said VSP Capt. Donald Patch. The commanders invited local police agencies and the county sheriffs to participate in the detail. Law enforcement was able to check on 233 of the 348 registered offenders. Of those checked there were four arrests, three determined to be deceased and five that had been incarcerated. One of the cases was referred to the U.S. Marshalls Service, for it is believed that the subject left the State. Breakdown by county: Rutland—Total: 181; Checked: 139 Addison—Total: 59; Checked: 59

2 year old. Neutered Male. Great Pyrenees/Retriever mix. I am a diamond in the ruff (no pun intended). I’m scary smart, strong, silly, social and a wee bit stubborn. Basically I was allowed to grow up thinking I was in charge—never a good thing in a dog, especially not an 80 pounder. I love to play fetch and am really quick on my feet for a big guy.
Ivan 11 year old. Neutered Male. Akita. I am an old fella who would really rather be snoozing on your porch than kenneled here. I was surrendered by my family because I am going deaf and blind and am getting snappish when I am startled. I lived with them my whole life and I don’t know why they gave up on me so late in the game. My health is reasonably good for my age—some dental disease.

Vermont property taxpayers will be taking it on the chin this year. Given the rhetoric they’ve been hearing all year from Montpelier, they have reason to be upset. First, the governor repeated his (erroneous) claim that education spending was out of control, and proposed a plan he said would reduce property taxes. What he didn’t mention was that for his plan to work local school districts would have to make dramatic cuts to their school budgets, and most of the savings would accrue to the state to help balance the General Fund budget. Next came the legislature and endless discussions about school consolidation and improved efficiency. Lawmakers were starting to hear from local school boards that taxes were going up despite their efforts to curb spending. Legislators wanted to appear to be doing something, even if they couldn’t quite articulate the problem they were trying to solve. What the proposed fiscal 2011 budget will do—in contrast to what people have been saying—is raise property taxes. The state property tax rate may or may not go up for next year. The House version of the budget keeps the rate the same as this year; the Senate increases it a penny, to 87 cents per $100 of assessed value. But the bigger problem is that both the House and Senate are underfunding the Education Fund again. Both are withholding almost $25 million that should have been transferred from the General Fund to the Education Fund. And the Senate is diverting almost $9 million more that should have gone into the Education Fund but now is going to be used to balance the General Fund. Local school boards and local voters did their part this year. There will be essentially no growth next year in education spending, which is the important number because it determines the tax rate. Many districts actually reduced their education spending, but overall it’s up a small fraction of one percent. That’s not easy. Even in this recession, schools are facing cost increases for health care, fuel, and salaries. Despite what the bean counters think, reducing staff to match declining enrollments is not a simple exercise. To even just level fund their budgets, school boards had to make cuts to programs, which diminishes the quality of education. Local communities, therefore, will have to suffer the consequences of these cuts, but they are not being compensated with lower school taxes. Education spending will be flat next year, but residential and non-residential taxes are projected to increase almost $6 million in the House-passed budget or more than $22 million in the Senate version. Property taxes should be going down, and they would be if the House and Senate weren’t short-changing the Education Fund. However, to meet their obligations to the Education Fund, the Legislature would have to raise some other broad-based taxes or make even more damaging cuts to the General Fund. It’s good they ruled out additional cuts. But once they acknowledged that they would need more revenue, there should have been an open debate about which taxes to raise. They avoided such open debate because it’s an election year. But make no mistake, they decided to raise property taxes when they chose to short-change the Education Fund. Sarah Lyons

RUTLAND TRIBUNE - 3
Dr. Alan Bean: America’s uncertain future in space Apollo 12 was the second NASA mission to land humans on the Moon in November 1969. Of 12’s three crewmen— astronauts Pete Conrad, Alan Bean and Dick Gordon—only Conrad and Bean took the Lunar Module to the surface of the Moon, landed, and walked on the cratered Ocean of Storms. Bean also spent two months in the weightless environment aboard Skylab 3 in 1973. He had planned to pilot the space shuttle but decided to retire in 1980, one year before the first shuttle flew in space. Apollo 12 made space history a long time ago. Best remembered for lightning striking the giant Saturn 5 rocket on takeoff, Apollo 12 is also notable for its pinpoint landing next to the abandoned Surveyor 2 robot spacecraft and for returning a lunar rock that chemically matched some tektites found on Earth. Only Alan Bean and Dick Gordon survive, both men on the cusp of 80. Pete Conrad, one of the most colorful NASA astronauts from the old days, died in a motorcycle accident a few years ago. Today, only Alan Bean actively speaks about the historic mission and what it was like to be the fourth man on the Moon. An accomplished artist, Bean paints lunar scenes both realistic and fanciful; his canvases are highly collectible and command thousands of dollars per head at art auctions. Alan Bean, a decorated U.S. Navy pilot and aerospace engineer, was in Vermont recently to accept an honorary doctor of fine arts degree at Green Mountain College. I had the honor of meeting Dr. Bean and chatting with him at the college about the past and future of NASA and humans in space. I also presented the former astronaut with a copy of my book about lunar science, titled “Inconstant Moon” published by Xlibris/Random House; it discusses some of the unusual lunar rocks returned by the Apollo 12 crew— Do you believe extraterrestrials have visited the Earth? No. In all the billions of miles of space, we’re it. Unlike on T.V. where aliens have landed here or people are waiting for the aliens to come by—in the real world, they’ll never come by. Here we are; we’re all there is in this portion of the universe. It’s up to us to make the Earth a great place. You use realistic and fantasy art as a means of exploring your off-Earth experiences. Why? I have witnessed things that few humans have seen. I went to another world and I am an artist. So, when I left NASA in 1980, I wanted to be true to my creative skills and tell the sto-
ries of humanity’s first adventures off the Earth through visual art. I can celebrate the first time humans went to another world, the Moon. Yes, we will do it again when we send humans to land on Mars for the first time. This is what humans do. We explore new worlds. I explore these new worlds through my art. Regarding the Apollo 12 and Skylab 3 missions, what are your fondest memories? Well, not all crews get along like professional teams. But I was lucky on Apollo 12 in 1969 and Skylab 3 in 1973. I can honestly say I went on a flight to the Moon with my two best friends, Pete Conrad and Dick Gordon. It was scary at times, but I had these two great guys by my side. Jack Lousma and Owen Garriott were with me on SL-3. They were the rookies and I was the veteran, the commander of that mission. I passed on to them what Pete and Dick taught me about doing the right things as an astronaut. I tried to model Pete as Skylab commander. And we were up there for 59 days doing a lot of good science. What kind of public support do you see today regarding human spaceflight? Hey, I thought everybody wanted the most out of our space program for the good of the nation. But I look around now and it’s disappointing to me that some politicians are not thinking the same things. They’re not doing and voting what is best for the country. They do other things. I’ve been very shocked. Is America on the right track today regarding humans venturing into space? I don’t believe so. NASA spent a lot of time with the best minds in the scientific community to come up with a plan to return humans to the Moon and go beyond it (Project Constellation and the Ares rockets). They had the best hardware under development and the best people to get the job done. So, for someone to just drop in, spend a little time thinking and saying ‘Well, I think I’ll change things,’ is pretty arrogant. It’s not in the best interest of NASA. I have a lot of confidence in the methodology of NASA to do the best things with the time and money available. My heart is in what NASA wanted to do and not with the people who think they have a “better” idea. Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan, and many others, agree with me on this. Thank you, Dr. Bean.
C-R-U-N-C-H!—Students from Rutland and Otter Valley high schools learned about the dangers of “texting” while driving an electromotive cart through a course of safety cones as part of Vermont’s Turn Off Texting campaign. The statewide effort is aimed at reducing the number of crashes and injuries related to texting caused by young drivers. Students pledged not to “text” and drive as part of National No Phone Zone day, which coincides with the “texting” demonstration. The signed pledges were posted in the schools.

A bike bridge too far A
s a student of history, I must admit that being on the right side of history (i.e., attuned to the long-term trends) seems to mean being on the political left side— at least in the sense that the list of human rights-guaranteed-by-government has grown inexorably in modern times. The growth of government has historically been a leftist objective. Sometimes growth has arrived one at a time: women’s suffrage, for example; and occasionally in bunches: three of the Four Freedoms of FDR were new ones. Sometimes they’re just a more generous form of a previously recognized new right—housing, for example. Medical services have now progressed (my choice of verb has political identification) from voluntary charity to mandatory entitlement in recent decades. All the left’s efforts have in common dependence upon the broad-based tax or, if you prefer the original doctrine in translation from the Russian, “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”. Each new human right used to be pretty basic: the U.S. Second Amendment, for example, or the Seventh Amendment. Some of them used to be half entitlement and half user-fee based (like public education in Vermont), but more recently some of them are getting—dare I say—a bit frivolous such as bicycle bridges. The creators of such things as bike bridges don’t recognize this; they don’t call bike bridges a human right—instead, they prefer to define them as public improvements which in their “logic” should be paid for by all, even if they’re only used by a few. When the nation was young, such things were almost entirely user-fee based, which explains why the first national public improvement, known as the Cumberland Road, was equipped with toll booths. If you didn’t use the Road, you didn’t pay. Similarly, there’s the circa-1825 Erie Canal which was financed by tolls through 1882. The first interstate highways —the Pennsylvania and New Jersey turnpikes—were bonded and toll-funded. Suburban and rural parkways of the 1920s and 1930s—the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut, the Bronx River in New York, the Blue Ridge in Appalachia, and the 1956 Eisenhower Interstate Highway System—were funded via broad-based taxes or stimulus deficit spending. More recently, some use tolls, such as the Massachusetts Turnpike and the New York Thruway, but most later road construction spending and maintenance comes from fuel taxes and roaduser fees. But the exception is Virginia which has held onto notions about user fees now considered archaic and socially unjust in blue states; the Virginia road has nine toll facilities ranging from the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Dulles Expressway—and including the improbably named Po’white Parkway. More culturally advanced counties and states prefer an everyone-pays-so-that-some-can-use-it-free funding model. Some localities, which are only half-advanced, split the difference; this explains why the George Washington Bridge, a New York Port of Authority project opened in 1931, now has an $8 auto fee for cars inbound to the Big Apple, a zero vehicular exit fee, and both ways free for bikes! Regarding the Golden Gate Bridge connecting deep-blue and uncouth San Francisco with its suburb of Marin County: vehicu-
lar traffic inbound pays $6, but bicycles go free. An attempt to establish bike tolls has been met with a massive “bridge use is an inalienable human right” no-toll campaign by the Marin County, Calif., natives on the www.marinbike.org website. Marin County’s residents have the fifth highest personal incomes in the U.S.—at $91,000. The county’s major employer is—guess who?—government. Nevertheless, Marin residents demand that lesser folk, who pay their government employee salaries, also pay for their natural right to bike across the Golden Gate at no personal expense. The slogan—“Say No to a Bike Toll”—makes no mention of the residents’ relative ability to pay, which in social-justice language, beloved of the political left, means “their fair share”. Decades ago, when Vermont was still a conservative part of a conservative New England, the popular slogan was “As Maine Goes, So Goes Vermont”, referring to the 1936 U.S. presidential election. Now, the slogan should be “As California Goes, So Goes Vermont” because the inalienable human right to free bike bridges and paths—paid for by non-bikers elsewhere. This long-overdue expansion of social justice has resulted in a $3.5 million bike bridge from Burlington across the Winooski River to Colchester—complete with bike trails, raised and not, paid for by a range of mandatory taxpayer and voluntary donor inputs so that it can be deservedly free, as a basic human right, to actual bike-riding users. So much for any archaic user-fee notions, even though today’s bikeriders enjoy a higher socio-economic status than us non-bike riders—excepting the lowly balloon-tired coaster-brake-equipped Schwinn of my youth now supplanted by a multi-hundred dollar multi-speed suitably elegant racing-capable machine-for-upscalerecreational-travel. Just as in California, modern Vermont notions of social justice enable the bicycling class to enjoy free bridge service courtesy of mandatory tax extractions from all the subordinate and mostly non-biking taxpaying classes. Can a human right to obtain free bikes be far behind? A Ridley-Noah at $5,000 would be socially acceptable. A post-script: The response to my inquiry to the governor’s office, via the Eagle news desk, regarding the funding and toll option for the Winooski River Bike Bridge, came from David Coriell, assistant to Gov. Douglas. “Off the top of my head, I don’t know,” he wrote in an e-mail response to us. Who knew that the pleading of official Montpelier ignorance (“Ich weiss nicht,” in the memorable phrase of television’s lovable Nazi Sgt. Schultz) as the standard response to undesired inquiry isn’t confined to matters of taxation, land use, and education, but now extends, for inclusiveness, to embrace bike bridges as well? Wer weiss? Indeed. Former Vermonter Martin Harris lives in Tennessee.
Writing is the best medicine S
uicide, depression, anxiety. Who knows a thing about those afflictions? Few. Can those few learn enough to be able to cure any of those mysterious conditions? I have a thought. Write 10 minutes a day, 40 minutes a week, or however much you can about your personal history,; what you’ll have by the time your time on Earth has expired, is an autobiography for all the world to read, enjoy, study, and learn from. Self-writing your personal history (a diary on steroids) should be mandatory daily duty. Or, someone out there should start a business offering a biographical writing service; you hire a person to listen to your life stories; that person writes them down, so when you’re gone there is a hard copy thoroughly detailing your life’s journey. That means you, person who thinks you’re life isn’t interesting. Every life is interesting and worth hearing about in detail. Mr. or Mrs. Elementary School Night Custodian, tell me what mixture of floor cleanser to water you’ve found cleans most effectively, and tell me how many tiles you burned through in determining the mixture. How many chairs do you put on desks each night? Tell me, so I can multiply that number by five work days, then by the weeks of the school year, and the total years you’ve worked, to come up with the staggering amount of clunky school chairs you’ve handled. I want to hear how the postal carrier landed the job. What prompted her to apply? Where did she take her exams? How many stops on her route? How many pieces of mail does she handle most days? How many on holidays, and which holidays see the most mail, and which day is the heaviest mail day? What’s great about carrying mail? What’s bad about it? Did you ever while running your route come upon a scene that called for you to save the day? When you were young, did you think you’d be a mail carrier? If not, what did you want to be? Brain surgeon, tell me about the first time you drilled into a skull? What did you do the night before? What did you do after the operation was over, and was it a successful drilling? How many skulls have you drilled since? Do all skulls drill the same? Tell me the earliest point in time you realized you actually had what it takes to become a brain surgeon? Go back further, to any first memory you have. Tell me about your ma and pa. Where they funny, smart, mean, poor,
were they good singers? Describe in detail the favorite meal your ma would make you? When was your first kiss? Do you know what the person you kissed is doing now? It should be required that we all keep a record of our lives to leave behind, to be read for enjoyment. But also, how much could be learned from established patterns of our family lives, and, social groups we ran in as a school kid? If there was a document to be studied of every life lived, not just the lives of the rich, famous, and high achievers, could there be from that study great strides made in understanding depression, suicide, alcoholism, and other malady’s, to the point we could change the course of their inhabiting someone’s soul? And of good things, there must be reasons why they too occur. By reading about each and every life lived, could we detect patterns leading to good things so we could duplicate the patterns to assure more good things occur more often? Ah phooey, I’m way out on a limb here, but I just love people and the intricacies of their lives, even parts they think are boring. I believe human curiosity is unresolved. I believe we can’t hear enough about the course of a human life. In less then two years there have been four teen suicides in and within ten miles of my community. The most recent, a son of a classmate of mine. The young feller ’s Memorial service is tomorrow. It’s a lot to hope something can be ciphered that will clear away this enigma altogether. Maybe the study of autobiographies left behind from each of us could help in some way. Worth a try. Course, none of us will actually write one, will we? Be nice to leave tomorrow’s service with a book about my friend’s son’s life. I’d love to read it.

CKS’ DARE program receives SADD funding
Proctor school hosts local poet This week, children’s poet and teacher Ted Scheu will be a writer-in-residence at Proctor Elementary School. All 85 students in grades 3-6 at the public school will participate in hands-on, inspiring writing workshops. The days of guidance and encouragement are made possible by a grant from the Children’s Literacy Foundation (CLiF), a nonprofit that works to nurture a love of reading and writing among children in New Hampshire and Vermont. Scheu’s sense of humor and enthusiasm enable him to connect with children and dramatically improve their writing and their confidence. Over the three days of workshops, he will work one-on-one with the students to help them craft their own pieces of writing. Scheu has published three books, including “I Tickled My Teachers: 58 Hilariously Heartful School Poems”, and his poems and stories are featured in numerous anthologies. Sue Quesnel, the teacher at the Proctor school who applied for the CLiF grant, said, “We are really excited for this opportunity to have a real writer come in and bring writing to life. This age group has a hard time looking at their writing and revising. It will be a huge lesson for the kids to see that real writers revise their work and that it takes a lot of work to get there.” Quesnel also noted that the school was especially pleased to receive the grant because of restricted budgets. Proctor Elementary School is one of nine schools in Vermont and New Hampshire to receive a CLiF Writer-in-Residence grant for spring 2010.
Christ the King’s fifth grade class with Mrs. Barbagallo and CKS Principal Carol Wincowski. By John D'Esposito jade6384@aol.com The Stafford Technical Center SADD Chapter was advised by Bill Lucci, a parent of a student enrolled at Christ the King School, that the school’s DARE or Drug Abuse Resistance Education program was in need of operating funds. In response, the Rutland City Police Department agreed to provide the services of DARE instructor Officer Keith Lorman; Lorman received specific training to provide the DARE core curriculum to fifth or sixth graders. Due to budget cuts, funds for the
school’s DARE program were not forthcoming. Lucci told Stafford Technical Center SADD members about CKS teacher Mrs. Barbagallo’s fifth grade class; the local SADD chapter voted to donate $200 to help run the Catholic school’s programs. SADD or Students Against Destructive Decisions is a peer leadership program designed to make students role models of responsible behaviors and to act to reduce negative behaviors, such as drug usage. SADD Chapters rarely have additional funds, but the Stafford Center chapter just won $1,200 as national fi-
nalist in a contest involving distracted driving. (Local SADD members will vote for the winners, who will receive $10,000.) The Stafford SADD Chapter is made up of Mill River Union High School students Kayla Jones, Nate Hance, James Reed, Cantlin Eaton, Cierra Phelps, Erika Stocker, and Haley Cotrupi, Rutland High School students Ashley Barnes, Chris Crout, Jamie Bonilla and Jordan Grenier, West Rutland High School student Kayla Stewart, Proctor High School student Kyle Lenher, and Otter Valley Union High School students Joanna Lilly and Geoffry McDonald.

will be awarded to the 100th person who makes a contribution to support the film. Huntoon’s Fall on Center depicts an autumn scene on Center Street, downtown Rutland’s main thoroughfare. The donation will offer the film’s 100th supporter the opportunity to own a piece of Vermont while helping “The Blood in This Town” meet its fundraising goals. Donations to “The Blood in this Town” can be made at www.bloodinthistown.com. Since 1994, Peter Huntoon has been a working watercolor painter hailing from Rutland, and his paintings are in collections worldwide. Huntoon’s works are inspired by the unique scenery and countryside of New England. Regularly exhibiting his painting throughout Vermont, Huntoon has said of his hometown, “A native of Rutland, I have grown up believing in this great city and enjoying everything it has to offer.” Huntoon is donating the watercolor print in support of the film’s production and the city’s future. “The Blood in this Town” is an 80-minute documentaryin-progress that tells the story of a post-industrial, blue-collar city on hard times, much like thousands of towns across America, searching for answers. The difference is that in this town, the community comes together one day a year to give blood – enough blood to break all New England, if not national records. The documentary focuses on an embattled city’s unique response to the needs of others and their own. It is a visceral pulling-together of a community to meet extraordinary goals. It is about a town, its people and the vital, near- indomitable spirit that runs through it—a spirit capable of leading Rutland forward again. The documentary is scheduled for completion and release in fall 2010. The trailer can be seen at http://www.bloodinthistown.com.
Golf program awarded funds The Vermont First Tee National School Program Initiative impacts the lives of kindergarten through fifth graders by teaching a physical educational program that promotes character development and life-enhancing values through golf. The initiative is a statewide golf partnership started in 2008. From Thanksgiving through Christmas, Stewart’s Shops collected donations from their customers. The Stewart’s Foundation has matched that amount reaching a total of $1,261,800. Holiday Match dollars are used for programs benefiting children 18 years and under. The Stewart’s Foundation Holiday Match grant will be used to partially finance twelve elementary schools participating in the First Tee National School Program for the 2010 school year: Berkshire Elementary (Richford), Bishop John A. Marshall School (Morrisville), the Dorset School, Middletown Springs Elementary, Orleans Elementary, Poultney Elementary, St. Albans Town Education Center, Stowe Elementary, Thetford Elementary, Tinmouth Elementary, Waits River Valley School (East Corinth), and Wells Village School. The 12 new schools join the 48 schools already taking part in the program. Enrollment in the 60 schools participating in 2010 represents more than 10,000 physical education students.

Air Force group seek new members Have you ever served in the U.S. Air Force or its civilian auxiliary the Civil Air Patrol? If not, are you interested in military aircraft? Maybe you just want to be part of an organization that focuses on the nation’s air force and its accomplishments. If so, the Air Force Association might be for you. The mission of the AFA is to educate about, advocate for and support the USAF. The local chapter meets monthly for lunch at the Elk's Club on North Avenue in Burlington. The lunches are held the second Thursday of each month and begin at noon. The next meeting is Thursday April 8. The sport of fly fishing is the next topic. Rhey Plumley of Classic Outfitters will speak about the pastimes of flyfishing and fly tying. He will give an introduction to the what, the how and the why. Vermont AFA members come from a variety of backgrounds with most having some connection with the military and aviation at some point in their lives. Contact Joel Clark at 802-868-9034 or Mike Reitan at 802879-6774 for more details.
United Way food drive underway The United Way of Rutland County in conjunction with the National Association of Letter Carrier ’s 495 will be conducting its annual food drive on Saturday, May 8. Last year, the local Letter Carrier Food Drive placed in the top 10 in the nation for the number of pounds of food collected among communities similar in size. This year, the United Way will strive to be first in the nation as Campbell’s has pledged to donate extra food to the top drive. Food Donations are collected all throughout Rutland County by letter carriers along their mail route. The food is taken back to your respective post office and distributed to three local community food shelves—BROC, the Community Cupboard, andthe Salvation Army. In the Fair Haven area, food goes to Fair Haven Concerned and the Poultney letter carriers bring the collected food to the Poultney Food Shelf. Food collection will take place in each of the following zip codes: 05701/05702, 05733, 05743, 05759, 05764, 05765, 05777, 05156 and 05149. If you do not live on a mail route, food donations can be brought directly to the Rutland City Post Office on Saturday, from 11:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Locally, over 25,000 pounds of food are collected, with more than 71 million pounds collected nationally. Please support your community by donating any of the following non- perishable food items: peanut butter, jelly, pasta, cereal, canned vegetables and fruit, tuna fish, canned meats, baby food, soup, puddings, and juices. Cleaning supplies, paper goods and diapers are always in demand as well. Please do not donate outdated products, home-canned goods, glass containers or perishable items like potatoes, baked goods, onions or bread. For details, call United Way at 773-7477.
Dairy equipment firm opens Local, safe, organic, pasteurized, farm fresh milk can now be produced locally on Vermont farmsteads, homesteads, and micro-dairy farms using the technology, equipment, and services provided by Bob-White Systems. Localvore homesteaders and small-scale slow food producers can now milk two to four cows making safe, delicious milk that can be sold at local farmer ’s markets, stores, restaurants, and throughout the community—keeping Vermont milk close to home while generating a viable mix to the growing localvore and slow food community and economy in Vermont with farm fresh milk! In 2006, innovative Vermont dairy farmer, Steven Judge, started a micro-dairy farm on a hillside pasture in Royalton in a barn he built for four Jersey cows. Judge and his company, Bob-White Systems, are offering farmstead dairies the opportunity to craft local milk and for the past four years have been developing micro low impact pasteurizers and bulk tanks that provide the gentle pumping and minimal heat necessary to produce safe milk without compromising milk’s delicate flavor and nutritional value. From this technology, additional equipment, such as portable milking machines and vacuum pumps, and other farmstead dairy related equipment (including technology for small batch cheese production) has been created. Bob-White Systems is located in South Royalton which opened in March with a small showroom of the equipment and online at www.bobwhitesystems.com.

McAnaney took the loss for the panthers, dropping her to 7-4 on the year despite a strong outing. In the second game Middlebury’s Megan Martel broke a 6-6 tie by driving in the winning run in the bottom of the sixth, giving her Panthers a big 7-6 win. Emma Katz went the distance for the Panthers in her first career start to pick up the win. After the split the Panthers stood at 17-10, while Castleton Crusaders were 15-18 Raiders Nip Hornets 3-2 Kate Kurchena and Marisa Kiefaber scored three goals apiece to lead the Rutland Raiders to a 10-9 win over the Essex Hornets in high school lacrosse action last Friday in Essex. Kurchena’s third goal broke a 9-9 tie with 8:39 left to play. From their Rutlands deadly defense, led by Dana Nelson and Mary Kate Cirelli, held Essex back the rest of the way to secure the one goal win for the visiting Raiders. Sara Lovett added a goal and an assist, while Ali Dorion, Gracie Wright and Melissa Gfeller contributed single goals to the winning effort. In the netColeen Hunt made eight saves, before giving way to Kristie Ryan, who added another pair for the 41-1 Rutland squad. Jamie Panton led four goals for the Hornets. Colonels Sweep Raiders Both the Rutland Raiders baseball and softball teams traveled to Brattleboro last week to take on the Colonels, and both came back home without a win. In baseball Rutland’s Justin Godzik pitched a beautiful game, giving up
just two unearned runs on three hits while turning in a complete game. Unfortunately for the Raiders they could only plate 1 run themselves, losing 2-1 and falling to 5-3 on the year. Mike Howe drove in the lone Raider run with a pinch hit single in the bottom of the sixth inning. For the Rutland girls the problem was Brattleboro hurler Kayla Woodson, who tossed a six hit shutout at the visiting Raiders. Offensively the Colonels manged to score twice to secure a 2-0 win. In the second inning Cassie Rawson doubled and scored on a double steal. They increased that lead to 2-0 in the fifth inning when Syndey Santore blasted a run scoring triple off Rutland’s Taylor Kresconko. Kresconko took the loss but pitched well, giving up just two runs and five hits, while recording eight strikeouts in six innings of work. Emily Louras had a double and a single while Theresa Goodwin added two singles for Rutland in the losing effort. The loss was the second for Rutland in as many nights. Last Friday the Raiders preceded their loss to Brattleboro by losing in the finals of the Drury Tournament to tournament hosts Drury High School 13-4. Drury took advantage of a defensive collapse by the Raiders in the 4th and 5th innings. In those two innings the Raiders defense made seven errors, and Drury cashed them in for 11 runs. Kelsey Ouimet had a double, a single and drove in four runs to lead Drury’s offense. Meanwhile hurler Kelsey
Molloy took care of business shutting down the Rutland bats. In seven innings of work Drury gave up just one hit, a two run single by Sam Teupker in the sixth inning. Mosley also struckout an impressive 12 Raider batters on her way to the complete game win. Taylor Kresconko took the loss for the Raiders, who fell to 3-3 with the backto-back action. In other softball action last weekend the Otter Valley Otters needed just six innings to thump the Burr and Burton Bulldogs 17-1 last Saturday in Manchester. The Otters offense feasted off Bulldog pitching, banging out 20 hits, and that offense was led by Kristy Pinkham, who was a perfect 5-for-5 at the plate. Kaylee Pinson pitched the entire game to pick up a complete game win. Burr and Burton’s Bullgog’s Libby Merrill ruined Pinson’s shutout bid when she tripled and scored on a passed ball. The Otters improved to 4-2 with the win, while the Bulldogs fell to 1-3 on the year. The Fair Haven Slaters were in action last weekend too, falling to the Windsor Yellow Jackets 9-2 in Windsor. Pitcher Amber Heath fired a two-hitter over five innings, struck out six while walking just two to pick up the win for the hometown Yellow Jackets. Katelyn Curtis relieved her after five. Offensively Heath, Curtis and .Mariah Delong led the way for Windsor ’s potent offensive attack. All three were 2for-4. Curtis and Marshall each banged doubles and between the three of them they scored five runs, and drove in four. Fair Haven’s Emily Rinquist took the loss. In six innings of work she gave up nine runs on ten hits with four strikeouts and one walk.

By Frederick Pockette newmarketpress@denpubs.com There will be a new challenge for the American Canadian Tour (ACT) Thunder Road Late Model teams when they begin pursuit of the 2010 “King of the Road” title in 2010. With the announcement of the Sunday, May 23, opening event at the newly renovated and paved Devil’s Bowl Speedway in Fair Haven, the ACT Late Models from Thunder Road have been invited to compete at the historic speedway. It will be the first point-counting event of the season for the Thunder Road Late Models. It all started with the announcement by the Champlain Valley Racing Association (CVRA) in the fall of 2009. The Richards family ownership intended to redesign both their dirt tracks for the 2010 racing season, converting them to asphalt. Sister track Albany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, NY was completed late last fall, and Devil’s Bowl expects to have pavement down the first week of May. It was a natural for the most popular asphalt Late Model division in the Northeast to join in the opening day celebration at Devil’s Bowl. “We had already committed to run the ACT Late Model Tour at the Malta track, and with the increase of ACT US events, we were in some kind of bind when we found out Devil’s Bowl was also going to go through a conversion to asphalt, “ said Tom Curley, President of ACT. “We very much wanted to
be a part of the Devil’s Bowl program, and the Thunder Road group of Late Model racers have all had plenty of ‘touring type’ experience over the years, so this became very doable. There are a lot of excited teams to be able to open the big mile, and that is good for Devil’s Bowl and for asphalt racing in the region,” Curley concluded. Three-time Thunder Road Champion, Cris Michaud from Williamstown likes the new twist on having Thunder Road points awarded toward the 2010 Championship. “I think it is kind of neat that we get to open the new track. It will certainly be a change from the high-banked mile to the relatively flat half mile, but it should be fun. Our team is looking forward to the challenge,” said Michaud. The 100-lap event will be a Devil’s Bowl traditional Sunday early evening ‘twilight’ race for the opening of the new facility. “We wanted to make sure we scheduled it early enough so that the traveling teams and fans that come and support our opening at Devil’s Bowl can get home at a reasonable hour Sunday evening,” said Jerry Richards, a CVRA partner and General Manager at Devil’s Bowl. On Sunday, May 23, front gates will open at 11 a.m. and racing will begin at 2 p.m. for the grand opening of the new Devil’s Bowl Speedway. Admission for the ACT Thunder Road Late Model 100 lap event is only $15 for Adults and Kids are free of charge. All the regular Devil’s Bowl divisions will also begin their season opening day.
