Story by Joyce PetersPhotos by Robert F. Smith

I recently caught up with multi-talentedmusician and artist Fred Eaglesmith as hetraveled through Northeast USA for a stringof solo gigs—

JP: So, you paint. You write songs. Youplay guitar. You arrange songs. You enter-tain people with your wry wit. You play mu-sic live for audiences all over. You con-stantly travel and tour North America, Eu-rope, and Australia. You have two vintagemusic stores and a cafe. You’re a father anda “band leader.” You play hockey and bowl.Which of these comes most naturally?Which seems the most effortless?

FJE: There’s nothing that’s effortless. It’sall a big effort for me. But I will say song-writing now...because I’ve put the most timeof all things in my life I’ve done, I’ve put themost time in songwriting. Songwriting iseasier for me. But I don’t really come natu-rally to a lot of things; I have to work. So Ihave to work.

JP: How would you prefer to spend yourtime?

FJE: How I live is how I choose to live. Imake this choice. And though I don’t alwaysknow what my preference is, I think I alwaysend up doing what my preference is, al-though I don’t necessarily plan my prefer-ence. I look out most days and it’s a prettygood day, right? If you do that, you’re prob-ably doing what you should be doing.

JP: When you think about the creating partversus the sharing or performing part,which of those activities is more effortless?

FJE: Whenever I’m learning something,and I’m really interested in it, time flies.Whenever I know something, and my inter-est has waned in it, I don’t think I’m as ex-cited about it. I think learning makes timefly for me.

JP: Give me an example of something thattook you by surprise that you wanted tolearn.

FJE: I’ve done this all my life. I had afriend who grew flowers in the late ‘80s. Ineeded a job. So I took a truck and took theseflowers to town and started selling them.And then I just went crazy. I became the bestof the best. Florists said, “Ask that guy, heknows everything.” I’ll do it with anythingin the world. If I have an interest in it, I’llbuy every book until I know it, know it...andthen I’ll put it on the shelf with the otherthings.

JP: Your last record, Tinderbox, had yetagain a distinctly different vibe. Are yousurprised by how people reacted to it?

FJE: No, it’s the same thing. If I get intoit, I’m dead meat. I can’t stop until it’s done.People say that all the time; that it’s a de-parture from what I’ve done. They say itabout every record. I’ve got letters about al-most every record I’ve put out telling abouthow awful it is. And then an apology letterfour months later. Now I don’t really care.

JP: Is that because you’re making therecord for you?

FJE: No, I’m making it because it’s inter-esting to me. So I’m not making it for me.After it’s done, I’ll finish this record and Iwon’t listen to it...for five years or 10 years.I’m not interested in it anymore.

JP: But you’ll still perform the songs.

FJE: Yeah, yeah. But I’m not the Tinder-box preacher guy anymore. That was a funthing. And I really explored what it wouldbe to be that guy. And how much fun it was.And then I went, “Oh yeah.” The troublewith a lot of people is that they think theyhave to stay in that box. So I explore the boxthat they’re in and go, “Hey, now would bea good time to get out of this box. Rightnow.” But I guess people think that theyhave to stay, so I don’t. I don’t. So I ex-plore the world and jump. It’s good to besomebody else sometimes.

JP: Your new record is called Cha ChaCha. So who will you be in this Cha Cha Chaworld?

FJE: We’re putting together a little circus

act...a little traveling show. Our heads are re-ally all around that. A traveling menagerie;a haggard, rough sort of thing. It’s reallytime for that. When we do it, people sit rightup. You put on the clothes and you go dothis thing. I think that’s what’s going to hap-pen. The 40s and 30s to me was really circustime. That’s when the circus was vibrant. Itfeels like to go there...it feels like it’s rele-vant.

JP: When you say circus, are you talkingabout quirky characters?

FJE: I want an elephant but I don’t thinkI can make that work [laughs]. I need a bigtrain and an elephant [laughs]. It’s more theattitude of it and the sort of shoddiness of it.Because music is done on computers nowand art is all computerized, but that [circus]isn’t. Neither was the Tinderbox. Neitherwere the snake preachers. You can’t handlea snake on a computer. So I’m sort of inter-ested in, well what if that was now? There’snot a lot of room for doubting anymore.Everybody’s looking good. Everybodyshowers everyday and changes their clothesand puts that stuff on their hands [rubshands together]. It’s a sterile world. The cir-cus was sort of gross...a little nasty. And theguys were nasty; stealing from you. Theyhad a scam going. I’m very interested in this.I think traveling this way is very cool; wherewe stop staying in motels and we do this oth-er thing staying in trailers. This is a hard onefor me. It’s going to take a long time for me.That’s what we talk about these days.

JP: You’re always described as fiercely in-dependent. You’re committed to the life onthe road. How do you stay connected?

FJE: I really don’t. When you’re on the

road as long as I am, eventually you becomelike a guy in prison. People stop visiting youand stop calling and stop coming around be-cause you’re not in their life, not in theirscope anymore. And so you better figure outhow to live that way. The way for me to doit in my little zen world is this is what’s sup-posed to happen. In zen, we learn to not lovethis life so we can love it. We learn not to lovethis life. And there’s the lesson. A hard, hardlesson: to not love this life.

JP: So what’s your North Star? Whathelps you find your way?

FJE: Meditation. Just solid meditation. Ican go there now. In one minute...in twominutes and find the place. And then, whenyou figure that out... I say this in my show:you’re born naked without a name. Beforeanything’s programmed. If you can find thatperson...because really we always think ourNorth Star is our body, the person we see inthe mirror. That’s not really a North Star.That’s a false North Star. If you went to that,you’d find there’s nothing there. It’s decay-ing. It’s dying. It’s false. But your being isreally a North Star...the true one. It’s the onethat doesn’t die. You can’t kill a spirit, right?And so, if you go to that one, you don’t needa car or clothes. You don’t need anything be-cause all that’s false. And that self...yourtrue self, there it is. Then you’re done.

JP: Wow, I have to absorb all of that.

FJE: [laughs] This thing is falling apart[points to self]; we’re dying. And we clingto this. We cling to the sinking ship. Weidentify that as ourselves. This is not whoyou are. You know that and I know that.There is a self in there. A perfect being thatknows. [Silence followed by laughter]

Zen and the Art of Life on the Road:An Interview with Fred Eaglesmith

During the four day peri-od from May 28–31, Vermontexperienced no fatalities onVermont highways. In 2009,three people suffered fatalinjuries on the state’s high-ways over the same period.

Vermont troopers con-ducted high visibility en-forcement in support of Op-eration C.A.R.E. (CombinedAccident Reduction Effort)and worked collaborativelywith other state, county andlocal law enforcement agen-

cies in the annual Click-It orTicket mobilization, whichcontinues through June 6th.

The following VermontState Police activity statis-tics were compiled duringthis period:

Motor vehicle crashes: fa-tal 0, alcohol related 5; total crashes, 41.

DUI arrests: 19.Speeding violations: 814.Safety belt violations: 98. Motorist assists: 107.

Mom doesn’t like cussin’. I should say, she does-n’t like certain cusses. So I screen first runfilms she might be interested in seeing for

cussin content. I saw Jeff Bridges movie “Crazy Heart” re-cently and gave it a clean bill of cuss. Mom went, liked it,but took issue with some of “the language”, as she callscussin’. I watched it again, and sure enough, there were anumber of mom’s unwanted-type cusses sprinkledthroughout.

Last night, I screened “Sex in the City 2” and will givemom the green light to go view. She won’t like some of thefront-take cusses in the movie, but she’ll be forewarned.Front-take cusses are different then “flow” type cusses,like the ones from “Crazy Heart”. In CH, the cussin is ap-propriate to the character doing the cussin, and flows nat-urally within the situation. In SITC 2, the cussin may beappropriate to the character doing the cussin, but it does-n’t flow natural within the situation. It seems forced.“Front take” cusses I notice, “flow” type cusses I don’t no-tice. Does that make sense?

I’m getting off point a little. All I really want to say is, Iliked SITC 2.

The brand is solid, and the filmmakers stay well withinwhat the brand can display. The characters are well de-fined, and the actresses are strong, especially Sarah JessicaParker. Watching her is a treat. You are interested in whatgoes on with her story—no matter what she’s trying toplay, you believe her.

The other gals are good too, but Sarah owns the fran-chise, which of course isn’t any giant revelation is it? Amovie does not have to be a world changer for me to enjoyit. If you think you relate to me regarding what I look forwhen I simply want to be entertained by a movie, than Irecommend “Sex in the City 2,” especially if you’re a sin-gle middle-aged guy. What? Yup.

Hey, you single middle-aged guys, when I went to seeSITC2 I was one of three guys in the theatre; it was full ofhoneys of all ages shapes and sizes. These ladies weredressed up all nice and pretty, smelling fine, with nowhereto go. And most of them were drunk—yup; if you’re a sin-gle middle-aged guy looking for love and you can’t find itin the lobby after SITC 2, well buddy, you are one unap-pealing son of a gun.

The lobby was overflowing with women before the sec-ond show—just after the first show let out—and youwould of thought I was Antonio Bandares the way some ofthe drunkard 40 and 50-somethings were trying to dial me

in. There’s an amount ofnaked man in the moviewhich had the first showwatchers worked up intosuch a lusty lather that theywere needing to blow offsome steam; at that point inthe lobby, I was the one andonly male around they could blow off onto. I felt like athree-legged cat with a cold surrounded by a den of rabidfoxes. I could tell if I didn’t hurry and get my peanut M-and-Ms and Dr. Pepper and go hide in the bathroom, apassel of those women were going to try and bat mearound if they could.

So, I hid in the bathroom, not so much cause I wasscared, but because the lobby was loud. Some louds I like.Loud purring from a cozily curled up cat, or loud rumblefrom ramblin’ stock cars at the local oval, just to nametwo. But loud shrieks by middle-aged women who don’tget out away from the kids and husband nearly enough, isloud I don’t like. I could have hushed them all to dead si-lence by walking to the middle of the room and shouting,“Sarah Palin rules!”— but nobody wants to be a partypooper.

When the lights went down, I snuck into the theater andsat in the seat farthest back (which luckily happened to beempty). As I wrote earlier, I enjoyed this movie but nothalf as much as I enjoyed the woman sitting directly acrossfrom me. She could not sit still for more than two minutes;every time she repositioned and literally did a couple ofyoga moves. I’m serious, she was more entertaining thanSarah Jessica Parker; the moves she made were fantastic.I’d never seen anything like her in public. Pretty sure shewas Canadian. Figures, eh?

I’m telling you guys, SITC2 will loosen ‘em up.So, if you’re a feller in-between gals, or in the midst of a

divorce, or just looking for a good time, go see “Sex in theCity 2”. Get there early. I give the movie two solid stars. Igive the action in the lobby before and after the movie fourand a half stars, two thumbs up, and ah, saaalluuuttee!

There's no more MoonUp there;There's no Moon in the sky...

—Orange Merchants

Along with supposed alien visitations to Earth,Pluto’s demotion to dwarf-planet status (an go-ing discussion in this column), and possible mi-

crobial life on Mars, the most frequent question schoolchildren ask me is, “What if Earth didn’t have the Moon?” Toparaphrase the late T.V. pioneer Art Linkletter, kids askthe darndest questions. Yes, we’ve covered this questionbefore, but let’s look more closely at Earth without theMoon.

First, let’s look at tides. Without Luna, Earth would stillhave high and low tides thanks to the Sun, but these tideswould be half as high as lunar high and low tides. Springtides (or Neap tides) would disappear since both the Sunand the Moon—on opposite sides of the Earth or on thesame side—create these effects. However, large coastalbreakers, familiar to residents of California and Oregon,would still occur thanks to the effects of Earth’s rotationand maritime storms.

When it comes to time-keeping, there’d be no need tokeep a 12-month calendar without the Moon. Also, takeaway the influence of Luna’s gravity upon Earth and few-er volcanoes might have been created during our planet’slong geological history. This problem, with reduced outgassing from volcanoes, might have reduced the density,and perhaps the complex composition, of the terrestrial at-mosphere. Such an effect might have reduced or eveneliminated the chance of life arising early in the Earth’shistory.

Would the lack of a moon near Earth also have prevent-ed continental drift? Probably not since convection ofmolten materials deep within the Earth’s mantle is the re-sult of internal forces not lunar forces.

One intriguing effect of a Moonless planet Earth wouldbe a world without seasons—or at least a world with sea-sons very alien to those we’re used to.

Many astronomers think the proto Moon was an “inter-loper”, a planetary wanderer, which came from elsewherein space and impacted the Earth to form the Moon weknow today. If true, then the Earth’s rotation axis—in pre-lunar epochs—could have been tilted perpendicular to the“ecliptic” or plane of the solar system (rather than titled atnearly 24 degrees as it is now).

Without the Moon, sunlight would reach the Earth’s sur-face at the same angle throughout the year.

At Vermont’s latitude, the Sun’s rays would strike theground at 45 degrees daily. At both poles, the Sun would

never rise above the horizon.Thus, at the equator summerwould continue year round;at mid-latitudes springwould reign; and at higherlatitudes, winter would con-tinue throughout the year.

Such a hodgepodge of sea-sons would create wild, un-predictable planetwideweather—well, not too unlike Vermont’s ‘wait-a-minute’weather now, eh? Just kidding, folks.

Seriously, without our Moon would the Green MountainState’s romantic reputation and 1940s pop singer MargaretWhiting’s “Moonlight in Vermont” fame be still as brightwith a song entitled “Moonless in Vermont”?

What’s in the Sky—During early June, Mars is nearRegulus but as it moves away from Earth in 2010, it willgrow dimmer. The orange-red color of Mars is a sweetcontrast to the blue color of Regulus. But don’t let thecloseness of these objects seen from Earth fool you. Regu-lus is 77.5 light years away. And in 2003, Mars was theclosest to Earth in 60,000 years at 34,646,418 miles. It hasbeen moving away from Earth since then and won’t bethat close again until 2287 A.D.

A Decade Serving the Community: 1999-2009

McKernonFrom page 1

Woodland Cabinets and most recently, Green Earth En-ergy. He is currently involved in the renovation of threebuildings at Park Village (former Brandon TrainingSchool) which were recently purchased from the State ofVermont.

Kevin Birchmore, McKernon’s partner since the com-pany’s inception 25 years ago, has been elected to serveas incoming President. Kevin has overseen the opera-tional aspects of building, and has gained the respect ofclients and employees because of his knowledge of proj-ect management, fast build, and his conscientious ap-proach toward the environment. Birchmore grew up inVermont, and received his education locally. He is mar-ried to Lynda Birchmore and they have a son, Hunter. Heis an avid golfer, has coached Little League, and enjoysboating and snowmobiling.

The McKernon Group is making some importantchanges. Recognizing the effect the economy has had onthe building profession, Kevin is aware that new ap-proaches are needed. He plans to make good use of thecompany’s strengths in order to “build better for less”.Birchmore said that McKernon plans to be involved insmall jobs as well as building the client’s “home ofchoice”. His plan is to make renovations and new buildmore affordable to the average homeowner by design, ef-ficient construction and streamlining overhead costs. Hewill keep the current, well established high standardsthat he and McKernon have set up, and will continue toexpand the energy efficient building systems that arecurrently in place.

Another area of expansion includes the potential train-ing of personnel for historic preservation work. As a spe-cialized division of the building industry, it requiresskilled craftsmen and a commitment to renovating thelandscape in a deliberate and responsible way.

Kurn Hattin Homes was awarded a$4,000 grant from Entergy Foundationto help support the Healthy ChildrenProgram, a program which funds thechildren’s medical and dental expens-es not covered by insurance.

Kurn Hattin provides all routine andnecessary medical treatments for chil-dren regardless of the children’s insur-ance coverage status. It’s a large and

growing burden on the Homes’ budgetevery year.

Kurn Hattin’s Family Outreach De-partment works with families to obtainand remain insured but sometimes thepolicies lapse, or the families are ineli-gible or have lost their jobs. BesidesVermont children, youngsters fromneighboring states often don’t havecoverage that crosses state lines.

“We thank the Entergy Foundationfor partnering with us in providing thebest of care for the children in our com-munity. Kurn Hattin Homes is a resi-dential, year-round, charitable homeand school for in-need and at-risk chil-dren, ages 6-15, from throughout theNortheast,” said Chris Barry of KurnHattin.

Trustees tour, inspect Fletcher Farm center

LUDLOW—Fletcher Farm Foundation trustees Jean Mor-rill and Carolyn Gauthier, along with Philip Severy, touredthe completed landscaping at the newly renovated farm-house along Route 103 in Ludlow last week.

Severy Brothers have been responsible for mowing andgrooming the Fletcher fields and craft school campus.

The Fletcher Farm Foundation is charged with preservingthe buildings and maintaining the grounds for educationalpurposes for future generations.

Opportunities in Learning, the present tenant at the farm-house, will be moving back to Green Mountain High School.The farmhouse will be available for lease to a viable non-profit. Contact Doug LeMire for more information at 802-875-4786.

GRANVILLE, N.Y.—On Sunday,June 13, Celest DiPietropaolo and hiswife Marie DiCocco present an after-noon of Italian village music and danceat the Slate Valley Museum, 1:30-4:30p.m. Their educational performance,with an emphasis on southern Italianculture, is free and open to the publicthrough grant funding from the NewYork Council on the Humanities andthe Shepard Broad Foundation.

Since 1983, DiPietropaolo’s researchhas taken him to the mountains ofsouthern, central, and northern Italy,including Sardinia. The couple, wholived in Italy for three years, teachesdances that are still a living part ofcommunity and family festivals andrituals in the mountain villages today.To encourage descendants of Italianimmigrants to rediscover their musicand dance heritage, the first section ofthe pair ’s presentation includes videoclips from their field studies and ashort concert with Celest playing or-ganetto and Marie playing guitar andtamburello. In the second session, theyinvolve the audience through partici-pation in simple dances and singingtraditional songs.

“Our main reason for being in the ed-ucation business, as opposed to the en-tertainment business, is to try to ignitea fervor in Americans, especially thoseof Italian ancestry, for understandingand hopefully practicing the Italianmusic and dance traditions that theirdistant cousins in Italy are still practic-ing today,” says DiPietropaolo. He dis-tinguishes these circle, line, and coupledances from stage entertainment typi-fied by choreography and costumes.

DiPietropaolo has exhibited tradi-tional music at major festivals in theWashington, D.C. area, including thosesponsored by the Smithsonian Institu-tion, Folklore Society of Washington,and the Italian Embassy. He has beenteaching Italian traditional dancessince 1984 all over the United States, in-cluding Florida Folk Dance Camp,Friends of International Folk DanceWeekend in New Orleans, AnnualMendocino Folklore Camp, AnnualChicago Festival of Folk Dance, andFolklore Village Farm.

DiCocco spent most of her formativeyears traveling as part of a U.S. AirForce family. As a young child, shegrew up hearing the sounds of Italianand German music in her family, alongwith other ethnic music, which her par-ents enjoyed. While attending CatholicUniversity in Washington, D.C., shealso began her study of the accordionand played for musical theatrethroughout the Washington area. From1976 to 1990 she arranged music forand played with a contemporary litur-gical music group in Silver Spring,Maryland. From 1983 to 1995 she per-formed regularly with the WashingtonSchrammel Quartet. In 1983 she metCelest while playing in the orchestrafor a community theatre performance,and began assisting him with his plan-ning, research, and analysis of Italiantraditional music. The couple recentlymoved to Vermont.

Many Italian immigrants (mainlyfrom southern Italy) came to the SlateValley around the turn of the 20th cen-tury. Along with them came immi-grants from Poland and Slovakia, all

unskilled at slate quarrying and slateroofing production, but filling the needfor a huge labor force in the region’sbooming slate industry. Many skilledWelsh and Irish slate quarry workershad been recruited by Yankee landown-ers in the mid to late 1800s because theyknew how to make and apply roofingslate. By the 1890s, Eastern EuropeanJews joined the mix to provide goodsand services to the small quarry townsand rural communities throughout theSlate Valley.

Each year the Slate Valley Museumproduces a season of exhibits and pub-lic programs, many of which focus onimmigration. With a major grant of$13,845 from the New York Council forthe Humanities and a grant of $5,000from the Shepard Broad Foundation,the museum has produced a packedschedule of scholarly public programsfor its 2010 15th Anniversary Season,which runs through December. “Cul-tural Expressions of the Slate Valley” isthe theme for lectures and performanc-es in music, dance, storytelling, andpoetry that demonstrate the tradition-al cultures of immigrants who came tothe local slate region from Ireland,Italy, Poland, Slovakia, and Wales be-tween the 1840s and the 1940s.

YMCA youth camp has openings

SPRINGFIELD—The Meeting Waters YMCA still hasopenings in its Lewis Day Camp program. Its leaders arereaching out to parents with four family-centered qualitiesof the regional YMCA’s camp.

“While there are many benefits to parents and kids, as itrelates to parents, we like to stress four themes,” said campdirector Susan Fortier. “First is our quality. We know that ismost important to all parents. Our staff, facilities, curricu-lum and practices are second-to-none. Second, our campschedule is based on most parents’ working schedules.Third, we offer bus service from Vermont and New Hamp-shire. And, fourth, our rates are competitive but we haveseveral forms of financial assistance for those who still cannot afford our fees.”

Fortier explained that Lewis Day Camp is unique in thatit is licensed as a school-age child care program with regu-latory agencies in both Vermont and New Hampshire.

Youngsters that have completed kindergarten through 13years-of-age canm attend both one- and two-week sessionsJune 28 through Aug. 20. Core camp activities include YMCAswim lessons, sports, arts and crafts, free swim, cooperativegames, hiking, archery, nature education, and canoeing. Allof this takes place on the Meeting Waters YMCA’s 52-acreproperty in Springfield, Vt.

Bus transportation is provided to Lewis Day Camp,KinderCamp, and Leaders-in-Training at no additional costfrom Bellows Falls, Brattleboro, Charlestown, Chester, Put-ney, Saxtons River, Springfield, Walpole, and Westminster.

Help for stressed-out dairy farmers

RUTLAND—Vermont Agency of Agriculture officials an-nounced the beginning of a new benefit for dairy producersand their families called Farm First.

The program is intended to improve mental health and pro-ductivity among farmers and family members on Vermont’sdairy farms.

The first of its kind in the country, it takes the valuable Mid-west farmer hotline model to a new level with the addition ofstatewide licensed clinical staff prepared to confidentially as-sist with any concern.

In addition to providing confidential consultation andcounseling, FFP staff researches needs and provides currentinformation and pertinent referrals to farmers who work dayand night to keep their farms running. Agricultural experts inboth the public and private sectors are consulted by FFP staffto provide links and valid information for Vermont dairy farm-ers.

Program membership cards were sent to each Vermont dairyfarm in February.

To reach a counselor, farmers call a dedicated toll-free coun-seling line, talk with a counselor about the issue at hand andare offered in-person counseling appointments and concretehelp with resources.

The FFP website, www.investeap.org, provides informationon a range of topics as well as access to the FFP via e-mail.

By Sarah BrownSpecial to New Market Press

For Vermont Rep. Janice Peaslee, a single piece of plastic-symbolizes the culmination of nearly a decade of work: her pri-vate pilot certificate.

Peaslee earned her certificate in November 2009. She was theoldest student pilot the examiner had taken on a checkride, butshe dismisses age as irrelevant—she won’t even mention thenumber.

Peasleee practically runs up and down the stairs in the Ver-mont State House between committee hearings, floor votes, andother business. When the assembly is in session, she commutes90 minutes each way to Montpelier from her home in Guildhall,near the New Hampshire border. She owns a farm that sells po-tatoes throughout the Northeast. And for the past year, she kepttwo instructors busy flying with her, sometimes three or fourhours a day.

“I don’t recognize my age, and nobody else needs to either,”she said. She explained later, “Just because you’re in your sev-enties doesn’t mean you can’t get out and do things. Age is justa number.”

Peaslee began flying as a way to cope with grief after her hus-band died in 1999. She discovered a passion for it, and over thenext nine years met the challenges of ground school, endured a17-month hiatus for an engine overhaul, and practiced until shewas sure she would far exceed the practical test standards. Nowshe pulls the certificate from her wallet and shows it to her col-leagues in the state house, pointing out Wilbur and OrvilleWright on the back.

“It’s the most gorgeous thing I could ever think of,” she said,beaming.

Vermont Tax Commissioner Rich Westman, who served withPeaslee in the House for 21 years before taking his current post,said a colleague was at Newport State Airport in Orleans Coun-ty a while back when he saw an airplane taking off with no onein the pilot’s seat.

“He said, ‘There’s nobody in that plane!’” Westman recount-ed. The representative then saw a puff of hair and realized—itmust be Janice.

Peaslee’s pilot certificate lists her at 4 feet, 10 inches, but shesaid she hasn’t bothered to check her height herself. When youstand up and you’re not much taller than the people sittingdown, you find other ways to assert yourself, she said.

Over the past year, Peaslee has kept two instructors busy fly-ing with her in her Cessna 150. "She would fly for hours if youlet her," said instructor Natalie Brunetto.Over the past year,Peaslee has kept two instructors busy flying with her in her Cess-na 150. “She would fly for hours if you let her,” said instructorNatalie Brunetto.

Of her 22 years in the legislature, Peaslee has spent 21 in thetransportation committee. Peaslee’s tireless devotion to trans-portation issues has had tangible results. Peaslee called every-one she could think of for 15 years to reconnect Vermont andNew Hampshire by rebuilding a bridge, and the states finallyworked together to cross the Connecticut River with a newbridge. They named it the Janice Peaslee Bridge in honor of herefforts. And just this month, Peaslee reported a bill that will al-low heavy trucks to use the state’s interstate highway system. It

was the highlight of her month,she said.

She is a fierce defender of thetransportation budget, andWestman, who was formerlythe chair of the committee, saidshe understands the impor-tance of small airports in a waythat many lawmakers do not.“None of us dared to touch theaviation budget” with Peasleedefending it, he said. Peaslee isscrappy, he added.

Discovering a passionBefore 2000, Peaslee’s only experience in airplanes was taking

commercial flights while traveling with her husband, Bert. It wasan experience the two enjoyed sharing, whether they were on atrip to Cancun or doing business in Denver.

Bert introduced Janice to the world of Vermont politics by get-ting her involved in his own political positions. He taught herabout agriculture at the family farm, Peaslee’s Vermont Potatoes.After many years together, his death in 1999 hit her hard.

Janice looked for a way to cope with the grief, and in 2000 shedecided to look into learning to fly. It was an undertaking thatwould honor the activity she had enjoyed with her husband butbe different from it. It would help her move forward and stillcherish the memory of her husband.

“You look forward to every flight, and when you get back thefirst thing you do is check the weather” for the next flight, shesaid. Flying after that was not just a hobby; it was a passion.

“There’s nothing in the last 10 years that’s delighted her anymore than flying,” Westman said. “… A lot of us worried abouther (after her husband died), but no worry any more.”

ChallengesPeaslee is a fierce defender of the transportation budget and

funding for small airports. She came to aviation with experienceas a mother and a politician; she had taken none of the collegecourses that would lay the foundation for learning principles ofaerodynamics, weather, or geometry. Undaunted, she startedground school in 2001 and advanced chapter by chapter throughthe unfamiliar topics in the FAA handbooks.

She took the same approach to flying. She started trainingwith Kelly with no concern about the hours she would log be-fore she achieved a certificate. She didn’t just want to meet thestandards; she wanted to exceed them. “Number of hours orlength of time isn’t as important as meeting the challenge, stick-ing with it,” she said.

Kelly, Peaslee, and others formed a flying club to buy and trainin a Cessna 150. Peaslee gradually bought others’ shares in theairplane until she owned it, and when Kelly began instructingin Nashua, N.H., two hours away, she took the airplane there tocontinue her training with him. When he moved away for a med-ical helicopter job, she continued training with other instructors:one for the weekends and another during the week.

Even if the weather was marginal, Peaslee drove the two hoursto Nashua to see if she could fly. If the weather didn’t pan out,

she simply drove back home. When she did get to fly, she rel-ished every minute of it. Natalie Brunetto, who instructedPeaslee on weekends and evenings, said Peaslee would some-times fly three or four hours a day and never seemed to tire. “Shewould fly for hours if you let her,” she said.

TriumphAfter she had become proficient in most of the tasks she would

need on her practical test, Peaslee still struggled with consis-tently identifying landmarks for navigation. She would some-times fail to see the whole picture or be too quick to think shewas lost, her instructors said. They decided to wean her slowlyfrom relying on instructors’ help with navigation.

“All of a sudden something just clicked,” said Trevor Smith,who instructed Peaslee on weekdays. She went out for a solo oneday and had everything figured out. And when Smith accom-panied her on a cross-country to Sanford, Maine, she flew a text-book flight. In two weeks, she had navigation down pat, Smithsaid. By the time she went for her checkride, Peaslee was almostoverprepared. Smith was at the flight school when Peaslee re-turned from her checkride.

“I saw her come in with a big grin on her face and thought itmust have gone well.”

FamilyWith 150 representatives and 30 senators, the Vermont legis-

lature is small enough to feel like an extended family. Their po-litical views may vary, but legislators are there for one anotherin times of tragedy and triumph. “Politics gets out of the waythen,” Peaslee said. Her fellow legislators comforted her whenher husband died, and they have shared in her excitement overachieving her pilot certificate.

She’s offered rides to colleagues in the legislature, with onestipulation: She never flies without full fuel. That means herheavier colleagues may have an incentive to meet their NewYear’s resolutions, or else wait until she flies a larger a

“It’s just awesome,” she said. “… Once you get bit, you haveto fly.”

WEDNESDAY June 9, 2010 RUTLAND TRIBUNE / OUTLOOK - 7

It turns out, in researching for this week’s column,that I had remembered a quote about church educa-tion incorrectly: “Bring us the child at seven and

we’ll have him for life.” The correct quote, from St. FrancisXavier, said, “Give me the child for the first seven yearsand I’ll give you the man.”

Either way, in my own case, I’m a product of public edu-cation; like my peers, I can’t quite figure out what’s hap-pened to it since those primitive days of grotesquely largeclass sizes, abusive teacher-administered discipline, obses-sive focus on basics, humiliating mandatory chalkboardperformances, constant testing, and, of course, bring-your-own-lunch-to-school-or-starve-at-noon.

One clue comes from the eminently quoteable AlbertShanker, erstwhile president of the American Federation ofTeachers: “When school children start paying union dues,that’s when I’ll start representing the interest of schoolchildren.”

Less well known: “A lot of people who have been hiredas teachers are basically not competent” and never-even-offered, any Shankerism on modern students who succeedat refusing to learn anything that can be written on achalkboard by “tuning out”, a skill even some adults canmaster. His comment on the public education system—”we’ve got a lemon factory and it’s turning out 80-85 per-cent lemons”— isn’t shared by modern educators (thinkRutland superintendent Moran) who proclaim their “excel-lence” as a daily talking point, and it’s factually inaccu-rate: the non-proficiency rate in math and reading isn’tany more than a mere average 67 percent, according to theFederal National Assessment of Educational Progress tests,which are so despised by educators that all States exceptone have adopted their own purchased substitutes, onwhich their students produce remarkably better results.From this states-rights-in-testing demand, you might as-sume that educators similarly oppose national curriculumstandards, but you’d be wrong.

They’re (we’re) in favor, says National Education Associ-ation President Dennis van Roekel, commenting on themost recent of a series of “reforms” installed to make upfor the bad old days of my youth, when we actually memo-rized multiplication tables, Shakespearean quotes, and his-torical dates for future reference. Think reform/innova-tions like new math, creative selling, the multi-gradedclassroom (old one-room schools not included, thank you)and, in some lucky districts, the campaign against phonicsfor reading and for Ebonics for speech. I caught his com-ments on C-Span, where he produced some Roekelisms ofnear-Shankerian proportions. Here’s one: present budgetconstraints are producing “classrooms of 40-45 studentsacross the country”. Gloriosky, Zero, why even in the hor-rific old days of my desks-nailed-to-the-floor youth, I nev-er saw a classroom with more than six rows of six-desk-chair combinations in each, and rarely more than 30 of the36 seats filled.

A California teacher-constituent called in to offer enthu-siastic agreement, offering his own economic assessment ofthe Golden State’s post-Proposition 13 funding-deprivedschools: “…taxpayers worry too much about their privatewallets and not enough about their social wallets.”

If you need a more analytical study of the subject, tryauthor Robert Kuttner; his book-length study is aptly enti-tled “The Revolt of the Haves”. It offers the same conclu-

sion: willfully inadequatetaxpayer performance.

To be fair and balanced ( alittle lingua Vulpinorumthere) here’s a Roekelismwhich, like some of theabove Shankerisms, so easyto comprehend that even aparent can do it: an ardentplea for more parental in-volvement. Saint Franciswould doubtless have ap-proved; he said so indirect-ly. As I’ve reported in earli-er columns in this space, Iand my peers were inten-sively parentally pre-K’d in the bad old days, a groundingin the Three R’s which, it was later pointed out to us bycontemporary educational professionals, was a gravechild-raising error when we sought to do the same for ourown kids a generation later. Mr. van Roekel chose not todiscuss that teacher-to-parent don’t-even-think-about-pre-K-ing-your-kid demand of the ‘60s (now thrown down theeducational policy memory-hole for permanent it-never-happened status) during his C-Span interview. Just an un-fortunate shortage of on-air time, which I suppose hegreatly regretted.

And here’s another Roekelism, so long and convolutedthat I have space here only for a brief summary: as theNEA Prez, he offers his fervent support for this Education-al Reform: teacher evaluation based on student achieve-ment, as was recently voted in by his District of Columbiachapter membership. The D.C. schools are statistically fa-mous for the clear relationship they demonstrate betweenspending and achievement (unfortunately, it’s an inverseone, but we won’t review that in detail) and less wellknown for the Capitol Hill and White House parents who,fearing abusive over-crowding (average class size in D.C.is lowest in the nation at 10, but clearly still tragically un-der-staffed) have reluctantly exercised school choice: toseek private instruction for their descendants instead ofthe Horace Mann model. The DC teachers, it turns out, areso enthusiastic about performance-based evaluation thatthey’re delighted to throw years-of-experience and de-grees-accumulated salary-step design under the bus, pay-scale-wise, and are eager to do so for a mere $81 thousandaverage annual salary, a modest 21 percent increase fromthe present $67K or so. Efficiency and productivity havetheir price, and they’re (we’re) worth it.

A day later, another educator showed up on C-Span:Paula Verger, president and CEO of the Public Broadcast-ing System. She opined at some length on her visits toclassrooms where—oh, the inhumanity!—chairs and deskswere still archaically arranged in rows, and on the essen-tial necessity of re-arranging the (deck) chairs (on the edu-cational RMS Titanic, I wondered?) so that children couldlearn via electronic game technology in collaborativemode. But then I tuned out. It was so easy even a parentcould do it.

Longtime Vermont resident Martin Harris now lives in Ten-nesee.

JP: Tell me about yourpainting.

FJE: I paint rough andready. A lot of my art is to getaway from...I poke the stick

through the fence at thedogs. It’s to say, “You don’thave to be like this only.This was legitimate, too.”They kicked Van Gogh out ofHolland, you know. Art is soprecious now. I can’t believethe artists that are preciousabout it. Everything is soprecious about it. Our world

of folk...there’s this pre-ciousness that is totally un-warranted. They have nobusiness being precious. It’sembarrassing for them, Ithink.

Time sure sets that out forthem; you see them fall apartand fail and you go, “Well,

what did you think?” So alot of what I do is poke thestick through the fence; getthe dogs riled up. And I dothat with the music, too. Imake imperfect music. It’smore fun. The thing we loveabout other people is quirk.We love quirk. And then wego around hiding our quirk.We don’t show our quirk.We live in houses that looklike other houses. We drivecars that look like other cars.We wear clothes that looklike everybody else’sclothes. To hide our quirk --the very thing that we love -- this is so media, so pop cul-ture. They love this becausethey can market if every-one’s the same. I was think-ing about that this morning!A caveman, before cool, be-fore he had any manners, be-fore she had any manners. Iwas thinking that beforecool started, guy comes inwearing a leaf on his head,then the next guy wears aleaf on his head. To get thegirl, probably [laughs].

JP: So what are you lis-tening to now?

FJE: I listen to bossa novamostly. I listen to anythingthat doesn’t have words.English words...becausethey drive me crazy becausethe songwriting is so badnow. Bad songwriting is justaccepted now. It’s just un-derstood that the wordsdon’t mean much. You needto be a really good guitar

player. Doesn’t matter muchabout the song. That’s thepresent era. And I can’tstand the boy singers.There’s a lot of boy singersright now. I find this Latinmusic and I just listen to it.I’ve been into bossa nova along time.

JP: Cha Cha Cha is out.Sounds like you’ve been ex-perimenting in the chem-istry lab. What was the vibeyou were going for? Anybanjo bossa nova tunes?

FJE: I think there might bea little banjo playing in it.We’re not going to be true tothe genre. That’s religion.

JP: Staying in the confines.

FJE: Yeah, staying in theconfines. Doing what theywant you to. It gets less andless relevant what we do...soit turns more into lifestyle,which is almost more inter-esting to me these days thanwhat I do?

JP: So where do you thinkCha Cha Cha will take you?

FJE: I think I’ll get someflak over it. I don’t think itwill take me anywhere. I’mnot looking to go anywhere.

JP: Will it open new audi-ences to you?

FJE: They’re opening any-way. Doors open, doorsclose. So I’m at a stage in mycareer where I follow theeconomy.

JP: The roller coaster ride?

FJE: It’s the changing ofthe decade. It alwayschanges. It goes back fartherthan I remember or studied.I was really sad to see the‘90s go because that was agood time for music. Weneed a clean sweep here. Weneed a cultural tsunami[laughs]. And it might wipeme out. I was wiped out inthe early ‘80s. I might haveto go get a job. So, what?

Located on Route 5 in North Ascutney,Tribute Artistry Monuments specializes inthe design, carving, etching and lettering ofuniquely personalized memorials and mon-uments.

Tribute Artistry was established in 2002 bya unique artist and Vermont-native AaronFitzherbert, a 1986 graduate of MontserratCollege of Art who apprenticed underrenowned sculptor Frank Gaylord.

Now with over 24 years of experience inthe art of creating and restoring monu-ments, memorials, markers, field stones, let-tering, cleanings and restorations, Fitzhe-bert offers a wide range of options, servicesand techniques to create and maintain thesetreasured memorials and memories.

"It's our local families that have come tous for their family memorials, that hold theykey to our success," Aaron said. "Many fam-ilies have returned to us for second and thirdmemorial orders and that says it all for us."

Not only does Tribute Artistry design andproduce family memorials, but also beauti-ful outdoor sculptures, as well as pet me-morials, which have become very popularwith families.

Aaron is currently working on a uniquemonument, a Veterans Memorial to be

placed at the Perkinsville Green in Weath-ersfield. The monument is replacing anoriginal monument that once stood at the in-tersection of Route 5 and Route 131 in As-cutney, but was removed in the early 1960sduring the construction of Interstate 91.

By John McClaughrynewmarketpress@denpubs.com

MONTPELIER—From the standpoint of preserving thestate's solvency, making life easier for revenue-generatingbusinesses, and defending our liberties, the 2010 legisla-ture's work is a mixed bag of the good, the bad and the ugly.

Facing a $154 million deficit in January, the legislatureproduced what it claims is a balanced budget without broadbased tax increases. In fact, in the face of Gov. Jim Douglas’not so veiled veto threat, it even lightened the business taxburden by allowing many Vermont businesses to claim thefull 9 percent domestic production credit against state taxesas well as federal. It also liberalized capital gains treatmentfor investments in Vermont businesses.

To reach a putatively balanced general fund budget, thelegislators made changes in the two state retirement plans($17 million), and continued a state employee pay freeze ($9million). But the remainder of this apparent fiscal miraclecontains two highly suspect elements.

Internal human service program changes are credited with

a $39 million spending reduction, and the "Challenges forChange" initiative is "assumed" to produce another $38 mil-lion. The former is too complicated to grasp, and the latter—amusingly touted by Douglas as "reforming government"—is highly speculative.

The "Challenges" effort was conceived as a way of stream-lining state government and thereby saving money withoutreducing any programs or services. The $38 million in "as-sumed" savings put forth by the highly overpaid consultantslast January was apparently based on no analysis at all. NextJanuary, when another $122 million in savings must befound, be prepared to hear that much of the "assumed" Chal-lenge for Change savings failed to materialize, and it wasthe other guy's fault.

Perhaps the most notable achievement, other than avoid-ing a veto battle, was putting the Unemployment Insuranceprogram back on track, after recession-incurred payoutsdrove it well into the red. Businesses saw their taxable wagebase rise from $8,000 to $16,000 (in 2012); unemployed work-ers saw their benefits delayed a week, and then frozen at thepresent $425 a week maximum. This issue will have to be re-

visited again, as early as next year.The legislature agreed to bond $10 million for a new men-

tal health facility for the 15 most difficult or dangerous pa-tients.

The federally-decertified Vermont State Hospital has beena costly sinkhole for a decade, mainly because the bureau-cracy cannot conceive of "treatment" that does not involve"facilities" staffed by certified professionals and unionizedworkers.

One bright spot was the disappearance in the Senate ofthe House passed-bill to force Entergy to set millions asideto restore the Vermont Yankee site in Vernon to the "green-field" condition once enjoyed by the Abenakis. The next leg-islature will come to grips with the need of Vermont busi-nesses, farms, schools, governments and ratepayers for Yan-kee's 285 Mw of reliable, bargain-priced base load electrici-ty. As one observer was heard to say, “If they don't, you'llknow who to blame for Vermont’s brownouts.”

Another bright spot was the disappearance of the shop-worn mandatory seat belt bill. Both chambers did agree ona texting while driving ban on under-18 drivers, and primaryseat belt enforcement for them only. If the police abuse thisprovision, only non-voting teenagers will feel the brunt ofit.

One “ugly” provision was the passage of Sen. Racine's lat-est government health care takeover bill. This politically mo-tivated proposal will shell out yet another quarter milliondollars to yet another consultant to design three more plans,all of them coercive, bureaucratic, expensive, and destruc-tive of our health care providers. This issue will be foughtagain starting in January.

The other really “ugly” provision was a voluntary redis-tricting measure for public schools, supposedly in the nameof cost efficiency (undocumented and highly dubious). Theparents in every school district whose voters agree for it tojoin a new Regional Education District, other than a re-markable mega-district that operates no schools at all, willfind that their cherished educational choices have beenhanded over to the regional educrats who view parentalchoice as a mortal threat to their careers and job security.

Tuition towns will be allowed to go it alone and keep theirparental choice, but continual official pressure and the en-ticement of property tax rate reductions will eventually ex-tinguish, rather than expand, this popular Vermont practice.

The 2010 legislative outcome was, as usual, a mixed bag.Let's hope that next biennium there will be a lot less of thebad and the ugly.

That of course will depend on the men and women Ver-mont voters elect this November.

Vt. Legislature: a year of questionable performance

Vt. seniors to receive Medicare checks

With the first checks to be mailed on June 10, people inMedicare Part D who reach the prescription drug coveragegap or “doughnut hole” this year will automatically receivea rebate of $250 to help with their drug costs and other ex-penses.

As part of the new health care law, the rebate check is thefirst step in the gradual closing of the doughnut hole, whichwill help make prescription drugs more affordable for peo-ple in Medicare Part D.

Last year, nearly 9,000 Vermonter in Medicare hit this gapin coverage.

In a recent, opening-round match up in theDivison III state tournament, the No. 5-seed-ed Green Mountain Union High School base-ball team knocked off No. 12 Enosburgh, 15-6 at Paul Adams Field in Chester. The winput the Chieftains record at 15-3, headinginto a second round match up against de-fending state champion Leland & Gray.

The big inning for Green Mountain camein the bottom of the third inning when theyscored six two-out runs, which turned out tobe the difference.

The Chiefs would get three more in thefourth on a two-run hit from Logan Littleand a run-scoring single from Justin Veyseyto essentially put the game away. Mike Cava-cas got the start and win for the Chieftains.

The offense was led by several, with Vey-sey, Little, TJ Slade, Colton Howard, EthanAlbert and Dominic Strohmeyer all collect-ing two hits each. Cody Couture started forEnosburgh and took the loss.

--------------------In the second round against the two-time,

defending state champion Leland & GrayRebels, the Chieftains went toe-to-toe withthe champs and only down a run in the fifth,before the Rebels got two insurance runs onin the bottom of the fifth inning on a bloop-single to center field from Trevor Howe tomake it 3-0.

To the Chiefs credit they fought back, scor-ing a run in the top of the sixth on an RBI-single from Dominic Strohmeyer, but theyalso left four runners on base over the final

three innings and couldn't get that one more"big hit" needed to get back in the game.

Junior fireballer Jason Albert got the startand took the tough-luck loss for the Chiefsbut probably deserved a better fate. Despitewalking six and hitting a batter, Albert threw5-and-2/3 strong innings while giving upjust four hits and striking out nine. Albertalso led the Green Mountain offense withthree hits, while Strohmeyer picked up theonly RBI for Green Mountain, who finishestheir impressive season with a 16-4 record,while Leland & Gray (16-2) moved on to faceNo. 1 seed Northfield (16-1).

Spring playoff wrap upBy Frederick Pockette

It is playoff time again for spring high school sports, andnumerous Rutland County teams were competing last week-end in quest of that rare treasure for the high school athlete,a state championship. Below you will find a wrap up of whowas still alive, and how they fared this past weekend.

SOFTBALLThe softball playoffs began the week of June 1 and last

weekend were in their quarterfinals round. The semifinalswere to be play this past week (our deadline for this paperwas last Monday morning) with the state championshipsscheduled for this weekend. Here is your breakdown forRutland County teams.

Division I:The Rutland Raiders, the counties only division I team was

still alive at our deadline. The sixth seeded Raiders defeat-ed the eleventh seeded Champlain Valley Union RedhawksI the opening round, and were supposed to face the thirdseeded Missisiquoi Valley Thunderbirds in the semifinalslast Saturday. That game however was rained out andrescheduled for this past Monday. Oh that Vermont weath-er.

Division II:Last years state champions, the Otter Valley Otters are still

in the hunt for a repeat title. The second seeded Otters ad-vanced to the semifinals with a 6-3 win over the seventhseeded Springfield Cosmos last Saturday’s quarterfinalgame played in Brandon. Meranda Bassette banged out apair of hits, including a double and drove in two run t leadthe Otters offense. She was aided by Michaela Harringtonwho stole three bases and scored twice for the Otters. Mean-while, Kaylee Tinson took care of the Cosmos bats, allowingthree runs on five hits and striking out nine in seven inningsof work.

Sarah Vredenburg and Emily Graham had two hits eachfor Springfield, who finish the year at 8-10.. Ashley Richard-son took the loss for the Cosmos.

The Otters had a semifinal date with the sixth seeded Lam-oille Lancers, who were coming off a quarterfinal upset winover the third seeded Middlebury Tigers. If the Otters pulledthat one out, which was to be played this past Tuesday, theywill get a shot at repeating their state title this weekend.Lamoille eliminated the only other Rutland County team,the eleventh seeded Fair Haven Slaters, in the openinground.

Division III:The fifth seeded Mill River Minutemen were the lone Rut-

land County representative in this division. They advancedto the quarterfinals last weekend by defeating the twelfthseeded Windsor Yellow Jackets in the opening round. Theythen traveled to Townshend last Saturday to take on thefourth seeded Leland and Gray Rebels in the quarterfinals,and were eliminated from the tournament with a 5-2 loss.

Chelsea Cox went 2-for-2 at the plate with a run and anRBI while Aly Marcucci banged out an RBI double to pacethe Rebels offense in a game that saw very little offense.Nicole Sherman earned the win on the hill by turning in asuperb performance. Sherman allowed two run on just fivehits with eight strikeouts. Amanda Ley, who also turned ina solid performance, took the loss for Minutemen, who fin-ish their season at 13-5. Lay allowed five runs on five hitswith seven strikeouts.

Division IV:In this division the ninth seeded Proctor Phantoms and

twelfth seeded West Rutland Golden Horde were eliminat-ed in the opening. The Phantoms lost to Canaan, while theHorde were eliminated by the fifth seeded Blue MountainBucks. The sixth seeded Poultney Blue Devils however ad-vanced to the quarterfinals by dispatching the eleventhseeded Arlington Eagles in the opening round.

The Blue Devils then scored five runs in the first two in-nings last Saturday, and held on from there to upset the thirdseeded Twinfield Trojans 8-5 in the quarterfinals. KelseyBrown and Laura Lyle smacked doubles for Poultney’s of-fense, who capitalized on nine Twinfield errors. On the hillwinning pitcher Emma Lamberton allowed five runs on ninehits with six walks and two strikeouts.

Lamberton’s counterpart Emily Berkeley had a great dayat the plate, going 3-for-4 with a double and an inside-the-park home run. On the mound she recorded five strikeouts,issued one walk and gave up five hits. Bryanna duPont went

Castleton’s tournament runends versus Oneonta State

AUBURN, N.Y.—TheCastleton State College base-ball team’s historic seasoncame to an end in May at thehands of Oneota State as theSpartans fell to the Red Drag-ons 9-2 in the Auburn Region-al of the 2010 NCAA DivisionIII Baseball Championship atFalcon Park.

Oneonta State (31-12) brokea scoreless tie in the fourth in-ning with a pair of runs ofCastleton starter Seth Harring-ton (Bennington). Scott Dubben (Roseboom, N.Y.) delivered arun-scoring single, and Steve Gauck (Clifton Park, N.Y.) drovein a run with a sacrifice fly to cap the Red Dragon inning.

The Spartans answered with an unearned run in the bottomof the inning, and one more in the fifth as Billy Manley (Low-ell, Mass.) singled and came around to score on a Garrett Bis-sonnette (Lyman, Maine) single through the right side.

But, Castleton allowed three unearned runs over the next twoinnings to stake the Red Dragons to a 5-2 lead through six. Har-rington pitched 5.2 innings, allowing five runs (two earned) onseven hits while striking out one. Tyler Erickson (Naugatuck,Conn.) got the Spartans out of the sixth, after surrendering anRBI-single to Carmin Caputo (Mahopac, N.Y.).

After pitching a scoreless seventh, and retiring the first twobatters he faced in the eighth, Ken Cook (Springfield, Vt.) raninto trouble. Cook walked Caputo, gave up a single to KevinKnack (Ghent, N.Y.), a two-run double to Dan Randall (Salem,N.Y.) and a run-scoring double to Michael Center (Schenectady,N.Y.) before getting out of the inning.

Ken Smith (Ossining, N.Y.) picked up the win, tossing five in-nings, allowing two runs (one earned) on nine hits and one walkwhile fanning two. Christopher Smith (Colonie, N.Y.) struck outfour and allowed just three hits over the final four innings toearn the save.

Manley finished 3-for-5 with a run scored, while Ted Mills(Stockbridge, Vt.), Jack Lancelin (Chatham, N.Y.) and Bisson-nette each collected two hits.

Randall led the Red Dragons with three RBI, going 2-for-4with two runs scored.

Castleton’s season ends at 34-16, the best mark in program-history.

3-for-4 with two doubles. Twinfield ends the season at 12-4, while Poultney had a

semifinal date with the second seeded South Royalton Roy-als this past Tuesday. If they managed another upset thenthey will find themselves competing for a division IV statechampionship this weekend.

BASEBALLThe baseball playoffs also began the week of June 1st and

last weekend were in their quarterfinals round. The semifi-nals were to be played this past week (our deadline for thispaper was last Monday morning) with the state champi-onships scheduled for this weekend. Here is your break-down for Rutland County teams.

Division I:The twelfth seeded Rutland Raiders were eliminated in

the opening round. They wre eliminated by the fifth seededMount Mansfield Cougars on Wednesday, June 2.

Division II:Of the three division II Rutland County teams who en-

tered the tournament, only the Mill River Minutemen sur-vived to reach last weekend’s quarterfinals. The ninth seed-ed Fair Haven Slaters and the eleventh seeded Otter ValleyOtters were knocked out in the opening round. The Otterswere blanked by the sixth seeded Woodstock Wasps 7-0 onTuesday, June 1st. The Slaters were eliminated the same af-ternoon by the Springfield Cosmos.

The second seeded Mill River Minutemen dispatched thefifteenth seeded Lamoille Lancers in the opening round.Then, in the quarterfinals they hosted the tenth seeded Mil-ton Yellow Jackets last Friday night.

Milton, who was coming off an opening round upset,proved to provide very little challenge to Mill River hurlerRyan Hammond. Hammond shutout the hapless YellowJackets. Mill River ’s offense, led by Joey Beland who hit atwo-run homer, posted nine runs to easily win their quar-terfinal match-up 9-0.

Anthony Campbell paced what meager offense Milton didprouduce. Campbell had a pair of hits, including a double.Nick Ferguson pitched 4 2/3 innings in taking the loss forMilton who wind their season up at 7-11. The Minutemenwere to face the third seeded Burr and Burton Bulldogs thispast Tuesday. If they pulled that one out then they will beplaying for a division II state championship this weekend.

Division IIIThe eleventh seeded Poultney Blue Devils were the only

Rutland County team in the field for this tournament, andthey didn’t last very long. The Blue Devils were eliminatedin the opening round, on Tuesday, June 1st by a sixth seed-ed Oxbow squad.

Division IVNo Rutland County teams reached the quarterfinals in di-

vision IV baseball this year.

BOYS AND GIRLS LACROSSEThe lacrosse playoffs, both boys and girls, also began the

week of June 1st and last weekend were in their quarterfi-nals round. The semifinals were to be played this past week(our deadline for this paper was last Monday morning) withthe state championships scheduled for this weekend. Hereis your breakdown for Rutland County teams.

Division I Boys:The fourth seeded Rutland Raiders got an opening round

buy and then hosted the fifth seeded Woodstock Wasps lastSaturday in the quarterfinals. Rutland bult up a command-ing 5-1 lead in this one, and then survived a Woodstockcomeback, hanging on to win 5-4. David Kraus led the Rut-land attack with two goals while .Jordan Aquistapace andAndrew Boyle contributed a goal and an assist each for thevictorious Raiders. In the net Rutland goalie David Morganmade 10 critical saves. Alex Melville scored twice and TylerHogstrom had eight saves for Woodstock who finish theiryear at 11-7. Rutland was scheduled to play the top seededChamplain Valley Union Redhawks in the semifinals thispast Tuesday. If they pulled off the upset in that one thenthey will be competing for a division I state championshipthis weekend.

Division I Girls:Just like the boys the Rutland Raider girls earned the

fourth seed and an opening round bye. They then hosted thefifth seeded Spaulding Crimson Tide last Friday night in thequarterfinals, and eliminated them with an 18-6 drubbing.Narisa Kiefaber tallied an impressive seven goals to lead theonslaught. Grace Wright contributed another three goalsand three assists. Kate Kurchna also registered a ha trck. Inthe net Rutland goalie Colleen Hunt made 10 saves.
