State budget plansraise property taxes

Vermont property taxpayers will be taking it on the chinthis year. Given the rhetoric they’ve been hearing all yearfrom Montpelier, they have reason to be upset.

First, the governor repeated his (erroneous) claim that ed-ucation spending was out of control, and proposed a plan hesaid would reduce property taxes. What he didn’t mentionwas that for his plan to work local school districts would haveto make dramatic cuts to their school budgets, and most of thesavings would accrue to the state to help balance the Gener-al Fund budget.

Next came the legislature and endless discussions aboutschool consolidation and improved efficiency. Lawmakerswere starting to hear from local school boards that taxes weregoing up despite their efforts to curb spending. Legislatorswanted to appear to be doing something, even if they could-n’t quite articulate the problem they were trying to solve.

What the proposed fiscal 2011 budget will do—in contrastto what people have been saying—is raise property taxes. Thestate property tax rate may or may not go up for next year.The House version of the budget keeps the rate the same asthis year; the Senate increases it a penny, to 87 cents per $100of assessed value.

But the bigger problem is that both the House and Senateare underfunding the Education Fund again. Both are with-holding almost $25 million that should have been transferredfrom the General Fund to the Education Fund. And the Sen-ate is diverting almost $9 million more that should have goneinto the Education Fund but now is going to be used to bal-ance the General Fund.

Local school boards and local voters did their part this year.There will be essentially no growth next year in educationspending, which is the important number because it deter-mines the tax rate. Many districts actually reduced their ed-ucation spending, but overall it’s up a small fraction of onepercent.

That’s not easy. Even in this recession, schools are facingcost increases for health care, fuel, and salaries. Despite whatthe bean counters think, reducing staff to match declining en-rollments is not a simple exercise. To even just level fund theirbudgets, school boards had to make cuts to programs, whichdiminishes the quality of education.

Local communities, therefore, will have to suffer the con-sequences of these cuts, but they are not being compensatedwith lower school taxes. Education spending will be flat nextyear, but residential and non-residential taxes are projectedto increase almost $6 million in the House-passed budget ormore than $22 million in the Senate version.

Property taxes should be going down, and they would beif the House and Senate weren’t short-changing the Educa-tion Fund. However, to meet their obligations to the Educa-tion Fund, the Legislature would have to raise some otherbroad-based taxes or make even more damaging cuts to theGeneral Fund. It’s good they ruled out additional cuts. Butonce they acknowledged that they would need more revenue,there should have been an open debate about which taxes toraise.

They avoided such open debate because it’s an electionyear. But make no mistake, they decided to raise property tax-es when they chose to short-change the Education Fund.

Apollo 12 was the second NASA mission to land humans onthe Moon in November 1969. Of 12’s three crewmen— astro-nauts Pete Conrad, Alan Bean and Dick Gordon—only Conradand Bean took the Lunar Module to the surface of the Moon,landed, and walked on the cratered Ocean of Storms. Bean alsospent two months in the weightless environment aboard Sky-lab 3 in 1973. He had planned to pilot the space shuttle but de-cided to retire in 1980, one year before the first shuttle flew inspace.

Apollo 12 made space history a long time ago. Best remem-bered for lightning striking the giant Saturn 5 rocket on take-off, Apollo 12 is also notable for its pinpoint landing next to theabandoned Surveyor 2 robot spacecraft and for returning a lu-nar rock that chemically matched some tektites found on Earth.

Only Alan Bean and Dick Gordon survive, both men on thecusp of 80. Pete Conrad, one of the most colorful NASA astro-nauts from the old days, died in a motorcycle accident a fewyears ago.

Today, only Alan Bean actively speaks about the historic mis-sion and what it was like to be the fourth man on the Moon. Anaccomplished artist, Bean paints lunar scenes both realistic andfanciful; his canvases are highly collectible and command thou-sands of dollars per head at art auctions.

Alan Bean, a decorated U.S. Navy pilot and aerospace engi-neer, was in Vermont recently to accept an honorary doctor offine arts degree at Green Mountain College.

I had the honor of meeting Dr. Bean and chatting with himat the college about the past and future of NASA and humansin space. I also presented the former astronaut with a copy ofmy book about lunar science, titled “Inconstant Moon” pub-lished by Xlibris/Random House; it discusses some of the un-usual 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 forthe 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 exploringyour off-Earth experiences. Why?

I have witnessed things that few humans have seen. I wentto another world and I am an artist. So, when I left NASA in1980, I wanted to be true to my creative skills and tell the sto-

ries of humanity’s first adventures off the Earth through visu-al art. I can celebrate the first time humans went to anotherworld, the Moon. Yes, we will do it again when we send hu-mans to land on Mars for the first time. This is what humansdo. We explore new worlds. I explore these new worlds throughmy art.

Regarding the Apollo 12 and Skylab 3 missions, what areyour fondest memories?

Well, not all crews get along like professional teams. But Iwas lucky on Apollo 12 in 1969 and Skylab 3 in 1973. I can hon-estly say I went on a flight to the Moon with my two bestfriends, Pete Conrad and Dick Gordon. It was scary at times,but I had these two great guys by my side. Jack Lousma andOwen Garriott were with me on SL-3. They were the rookiesand I was the veteran, the commander of that mission. I passedon to them what Pete and Dick taught me about doing the rightthings as an astronaut. I tried to model Pete as Skylab com-mander. And we were up there for 59 days doing a lot of goodscience.

What kind of public support do you see today regardinghuman spaceflight?

Hey, I thought everybody wanted the most out of our spaceprogram for the good of the nation. But I look around now andit’s disappointing to me that some politicians are not thinkingthe same things. They’re not doing and voting what is best forthe country. They do other things. I’ve been very shocked.

Is America on the right track today regarding humans ven-turing into space?

I don’t believe so. NASA spent a lot of time with the bestminds in the scientific community to come up with a plan toreturn humans to the Moon and go beyond it (Project Constel-lation and the Ares rockets). They had the best hardware un-der development and the best people to get the job done. So,for someone to just drop in, spend a little time thinking andsaying ‘Well, I think I’ll change things,’ is pretty arrogant. It’snot in the best interest of NASA. I have a lot of confidence inthe methodology of NASA to do the best things with the timeand money available. My heart is in what NASA wanted to doand not with the people who think they have a “better” idea.Neil Armstrong and Gene Cernan, and many others, agree withme on this.

Thank you, Dr. Bean.

Dr. Alan Bean: America’suncertain future in space

Dr. Alan 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 Ver-mont’s Turn Off Texting campaign. The statewide effort is aimed at reducing the number of crash-es and injuries related to texting caused by young drivers. Students pledged not to “text” anddrive as part of National No Phone Zone day, which coincides with the “texting” demonstration.The signed pledges were posted in the schools. Here Kylie Sherwood of RHS runs over a conewhile distracted behind the steering wheel.

As a student of history, I must admit that being on theright side of history (i.e., attuned to the long-termtrends) seems to mean being on the political left side—

at least in the sense that the list of human rights-guaranteed-by-gov-ernment has grown inexorably in modern times. The growth ofgovernment has historically been a leftist objective.

Sometimes growth has arrived one at a time: women’s suf-frage, for example; and occasionally in bunches: three of the FourFreedoms of FDR were new ones. Sometimes they’re just a moregenerous form of a previously recognized new right—housing,for example.

Medical services have now progressed (my choice of verb haspolitical identification) from voluntary charity to mandatory enti-tlement in recent decades.

All the left’s efforts have in common dependence upon thebroad-based tax or, if you prefer the original doctrine in transla-tion from the Russian, “From each according to his ability, to each ac-cording to his need”.

Each new human right used to be pretty basic: the U.S. SecondAmendment, for example, or the Seventh Amendment. Some ofthem used to be half entitlement and half user-fee based (likepublic education in Vermont), but more recently some of themare getting—dare I say—a bit frivolous such as bicycle bridges.

The creators of such things as bike bridges don’t recognizethis; they don’t call bike bridges a human right—instead, they pre-fer 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 entirelyuser-fee based, which explains why the first national public im-provement, known as the Cumberland Road, was equipped withtoll booths. If you didn’t use the Road, you didn’t pay.

Similarly, there’s the circa-1825 Erie Canal which was financedby tolls through 1882. The first interstate highways —the Penn-sylvania and New Jersey turnpikes—were bonded and toll-fund-ed.

Suburban and rural parkways of the 1920s and 1930s—theMerritt Parkway in Connecticut, the Bronx River in New York,the Blue Ridge in Appalachia, and the 1956 Eisenhower InterstateHighway System—were funded via broad-based taxes or stimu-lus deficit spending.

More recently, some use tolls, such as the Massachusetts Turn-pike and the New York Thruway, but most later road construc-tion spending and maintenance comes from fuel taxes and road-user fees. But the exception is Virginia which has held onto no-tions about user fees now considered archaic and socially unjustin blue states; the Virginia road has nine toll facilities rangingfrom the Chesapeake Bay Bridge to the Dulles Expressway—andincluding the improbably named Po’white Parkway.

More culturally advanced counties and states prefer an every-one-pays-so-that-some-can-use-it-free funding model.

Some localities, which are only half-advanced, split the differ-ence; this explains why the George Washington Bridge, a NewYork Port of Authority project opened in 1931, now has an $8auto fee for cars inbound to the Big Apple, a zero vehicular exitfee, and both ways free for bikes!

Regarding the Golden Gate Bridge connecting deep-blue anduncouth San Francisco with its suburb of Marin County: vehicu-

lar traffic inbound pays $6, butbicycles go free.

An attempt to establish biketolls has been met with a mas-sive “bridge use is an inalien-able human right” no-toll cam-paign by the Marin County,Calif., natives on the www.mar-inbike.org website.

Marin County’s residentshave 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 paytheir government employee salaries, also pay for their naturalright to bike across the Golden Gate at no personal expense. Theslogan—“Say No to a Bike Toll”—makes no mention of the resi-dents’ 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 aconservative New England, the popular slogan was “As MaineGoes, So Goes Vermont”, referring to the 1936 U.S. presidentialelection.

Now, the slogan should be “As California Goes, So Goes Ver-mont” because the inalienable human right to free bike bridgesand 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 Riv-er to Colchester—complete with bike trails, raised and not, paidfor by a range of mandatory taxpayer and voluntary donor in-puts so that it can be deservedly free, as a basic human right, toactual bike-riding users.

So much for any archaic user-fee notions, even though today’sbikeriders enjoy a higher socio-economic status than us non-bikeriders—excepting the lowly balloon-tired coaster-brake-equippedSchwinn of my youth now supplanted by a multi-hundred dollarmulti-speed suitably elegant racing-capable machine-for-upscale-recreational-travel.

Just as in California, modern Vermont notions of social justiceenable the bicycling class to enjoy free bridge service courtesy ofmandatory tax extractions from all the subordinate and mostlynon-biking taxpaying classes.

Can a human right to obtain free bikes be far behind? A Rid-ley-Noah at $5,000 would be socially acceptable.

A post-script: The response to my inquiry to the governor’s of-fice, via the Eagle news desk, regarding the funding and toll op-tion for the Winooski River Bike Bridge, came from DavidCoriell, assistant to Gov. Douglas. “Off the top of my head, Idon’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 lovableNazi Sgt. Schultz) as the standard response to undesired inquiryisn’t confined to matters of taxation, land use, and education, butnow extends, for inclusiveness, to embrace bike bridges as well?Wer weiss? Indeed.

A Decade Serving the Community: 1999-2009

Suicide, depression, anxiety. Who knows a thing aboutthose afflictions? Few. Can those few learn enough tobe 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 haveby the time your time on Earth has expired, is an autobiogra-phy 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 thereshould start a business offering a biographical writing serv-ice; you hire a person to listen to your life stories; that per-son writes them down, so when you’re gone there is a hardcopy thoroughly detailing your life’s journey.

That means you, person who thinks you’re life isn’t inter-esting. Every life is interesting and worth hearing about indetail.

Mr. or Mrs. Elementary School Night Custodian, tell mewhat mixture of floor cleanser to water you’ve found cleansmost effectively, and tell me how many tiles you burnedthrough in determining the mixture. How many chairs doyou put on desks each night? Tell me, so I can multiply thatnumber by five work days, then by the weeks of the schoolyear, and the total years you’ve worked, to come up with thestaggering amount of clunky school chairs you’ve handled.

I want to hear how the postal carrier landed the job. Whatprompted her to apply? Where did she take her exams? Howmany stops on her route? How many pieces of mail does shehandle most days? How many on holidays, and which holi-days see the most mail, and which day is the heaviest mailday? What’s great about carrying mail? What’s bad about it?Did you ever while running your route come upon a scenethat called for you to save the day? When you were young,did you think you’d be a mail carrier? If not, what did youwant to be?

Brain surgeon, tell me about the first time you drilled intoa skull? What did you do the night before? What did you doafter the operation was over, and was it a successfuldrilling? How many skulls have you drilled since? Do allskulls drill the same? Tell me the earliest point in time yourealized you actually had what it takes to become a brainsurgeon?

Go back further, to any first memory you have. Tell meabout your ma and pa. Where they funny, smart, mean, poor,

were they good singers? De-scribe in detail the favoritemeal your ma would makeyou? When was your firstkiss? Do you know what theperson you kissed is doingnow?

It should be required thatwe all keep a record of ourlives to leave behind, to beread for enjoyment. But also,how much could be learned from established patterns of ourfamily lives, and, social groups we ran in as a school kid? Ifthere was a document to be studied of every life lived, notjust the lives of the rich, famous, and high achievers, couldthere be from that study great strides made in understand-ing depression, suicide, alcoholism, and other malady’s, tothe point we could change the course of their inhabitingsomeone’s soul?

And of good things, there must be reasons why they toooccur. By reading about each and every life lived, could wedetect patterns leading to good things so we could duplicatethe patterns to assure more good things occur more often?

Ah phooey, I’m way out on a limb here, but I just lovepeople and the intricacies of their lives, even parts theythink are boring. I believe human curiosity is unresolved. Ibelieve we can’t hear enough about the course of a humanlife.

In less then two years there have been four teen suicidesin and within ten miles of my community. The most recent, ason of a classmate of mine. The young feller ’s Memorialservice is tomorrow.

It’s a lot to hope something can be ciphered that will clearaway this enigma altogether. Maybe the study of autobiogra-phies left behind from each of us could help in some way.Worth a try. Course, none of us will actually write one, willwe?

Be nice to leave tomorrow’s service with a book about myfriend’s son’s life. I’d love to read it.

Proctor school hosts local poetThis week, children’s poet and teacher Ted Scheu will be

a writer-in-residence at Proctor Elementary School. All 85students in grades 3-6 at the public school will participatein hands-on, inspiring writing workshops.

The days of guidance and encouragement are made pos-sible by a grant from the Children’s Literacy Foundation(CLiF), a nonprofit that works to nurture a love of readingand writing among children in New Hampshire and Ver-mont.

Scheu’s sense of humor and enthusiasm enable him to con-nect with children and dramatically improve their writingand their confidence. Over the three days of workshops, hewill work one-on-one with the students to help them crafttheir own pieces of writing.

Scheu has published three books, including “I Tickled MyTeachers: 58 Hilariously Heartful School Poems”, and his po-ems and stories are featured in numerous anthologies.

Sue Quesnel, the teacher at the Proctor school who appliedfor the CLiF grant, said, “We are really excited for this op-portunity to have a real writer come in and bring writing tolife. This age group has a hard time looking at their writingand revising. It will be a huge lesson for the kids to see thatreal writers revise their work and that it takes a lot of workto get there.”

Quesnel also noted that the school was especially pleasedto receive the grant because of restricted budgets.

Proctor Elementary School is one of nine schools in Ver-mont and New Hampshire to receive a CLiF Writer-in-Resi-dence grant for spring 2010.

The Stafford Technical Center SADDChapter was advised by Bill Lucci, aparent of a student enrolled at Christthe King School, that the school’sDARE or Drug Abuse Resistance Edu-cation program was in need of operat-ing funds.

In response, the Rutland City PoliceDepartment agreed to provide the serv-ices of DARE instructor Officer KeithLorman; Lorman received specifictraining to provide the DARE core cur-riculum to fifth or sixth graders.

Due to budget cuts, funds for the

school’s DARE program were notforthcoming.

Lucci told Stafford Technical CenterSADD members about CKS teacherMrs. Barbagallo’s fifth grade class; thelocal SADD chapter voted to donate$200 to help run the Catholic school’sprograms.

SADD or Students Against Destruc-tive Decisions is a peer leadership pro-gram designed to make students rolemodels of responsible behaviors and toact to reduce negative behaviors, suchas drug usage.

SADD Chapters rarely have addi-tional funds, but the Stafford Centerchapter just won $1,200 as national fi-

nalist in a contest involving distracteddriving. (Local SADD members willvote for the winners, who will receive$10,000.)

The Stafford SADD Chapter is madeup of Mill River Union High School stu-dents Kayla Jones, Nate Hance, JamesReed, Cantlin Eaton, Cierra Phelps,Erika Stocker, and Haley Cotrupi, Rut-land High School students AshleyBarnes, Chris Crout, Jamie Bonilla andJordan Grenier, West Rutland HighSchool student Kayla Stewart, ProctorHigh School student Kyle Lenher, andOtter Valley Union High School stu-dents Joanna Lilly and Geoffry Mc-Donald.

Localhair stylistscame to theAmerican Le-gion to cut hairfor free, with alldonations goingto the founda-tion. Many folksfrom our schoolcommunity hadtheir hair cut,but Rachel went one step further and asked to have her headshaved for the cause. When Rachel was interviewed by theprincipal, she had this to say: “This was a very good fundraiser. I was the youngest to have my head shaved. Therewas one other woman who had her hair shaved off, but she

was older than me. I did this because it gave me a good feel-ing to do this to help someone who may have cancer. I amlucky to be healthy and I think about those who have cancerand this was one way I could help these people!”

One lucky donor who supports the new film documentaryabout Rutland, titled “The Blood in This Town”, will soonown a piece from the city’s artistic royalty.

Renowned Rutland artist Peter Huntoon has generouslydonated a watercolor print, Fall on Center to “The Blood inThis Town,” the documentary-in-progress about Rutland, itsrecord-breaking blood drive, and the city’s revitalization. Aspart of the film’s fundraising campaign, the donated print

will be awarded to the 100th person who makes a contribu-tion to support the film.

Huntoon’s Fall on Center depicts an autumn scene on Cen-ter Street, downtown Rutland’s main thoroughfare. The do-nation will offer the film’s 100th supporter the opportunityto own a piece of Vermont while helping “The Blood in ThisTown” meet its fundraising goals.

Donations to “The Blood in this Town” can be made atwww.bloodinthistown.com.

Since 1994, Peter Huntoon has been a working watercolorpainter hailing from Rutland, and his paintings are in col-lections worldwide.

Huntoon’s works are inspired by the unique scenery andcountryside of New England.

Regularly exhibiting his painting throughout Vermont,Huntoon has said of his hometown, “A native of Rutland, Ihave grown up believing in this great city and enjoyingeverything it has to offer.”

Huntoon is donating the watercolor print in support of thefilm’s production and the city’s future.

“The Blood in this Town” is an 80-minute documentary-in-progress that tells the story of a post-industrial, blue-col-lar city on hard times, much like thousands of towns acrossAmerica, searching for answers. The difference is that in thistown, the community comes together one day a year to giveblood – enough blood to break all New England, if not na-tional records.

The documentary focuses on an embattled city’s uniqueresponse to the needs of others and their own. It is a viscer-al pulling-together of a community to meet extraordinarygoals. It is about a town, its people and the vital, near- in-domitable spirit that runs through it—a spirit capable ofleading Rutland forward again.

The documentary is scheduled for completion and releasein fall 2010. The trailer can be seen at http://www.blood-inthistown.com.

Localvore homesteaders and small-scale slow food pro-ducers can now milk two to four cows making safe, deliciousmilk that can be sold at local farmer ’s markets, stores,restaurants, and throughout the community—keeping Ver-mont milk close to home while generating a viable mix to thegrowing localvore and slow food community and economyin Vermont with farm fresh milk!

In 2006, innovative Vermont dairy farmer, Steven Judge,started a micro-dairy farm on a hillside pasture in Royaltonin a barn he built for four Jersey cows.

Judge and his company, Bob-White Systems, are offeringfarmstead dairies the opportunity to craft local milk and forthe past four years have been developing micro low impactpasteurizers and bulk tanks that provide the gentle pump-ing and minimal heat necessary to produce safe milk with-out compromising milk’s delicate flavor and nutritional val-ue.

From this technology, additional equipment, such asportable milking machines and vacuum pumps, and otherfarmstead dairy related equipment (including technologyfor small batch cheese production) has been created.

Bob-White Systems is located in South Royalton whichopened in March with a small showroom of the equipmentand online at www.bobwhitesystems.com.

There will be a new challenge for theAmerican Canadian Tour (ACT) ThunderRoad Late Model teams when they beginpursuit of the 2010 “King of the Road” titlein 2010.

With the announcement of the Sunday,May 23, opening event at the newly reno-vated and paved Devil’s Bowl Speedway inFair Haven, the ACT Late Models fromThunder Road have been invited to competeat the historic speedway. It will be the firstpoint-counting event of the season for theThunder Road Late Models.

It all started with the announcement bythe Champlain Valley Racing Association(CVRA) in the fall of 2009. The Richards fam-ily ownership intended to redesign boththeir dirt tracks for the 2010 racing season,converting them to asphalt. Sister track Al-bany-Saratoga Speedway in Malta, NY wascompleted late last fall, and Devil’s Bowl ex-pects to have pavement down the first weekof May. It was a natural for the most popu-lar asphalt Late Model division in the North-east to join in the opening day celebration atDevil’s Bowl.

“We had already committed to run theACT Late Model Tour at the Malta track, andwith the increase of ACT US events, we werein some kind of bind when we found outDevil’s Bowl was also going to go through aconversion to asphalt, “ said Tom Curley,President of ACT. “We very much wanted to

be a part of the Devil’s Bowl program, andthe Thunder Road group of Late Model rac-ers have all had plenty of ‘touring type’ ex-perience over the years, so this became verydoable. There are a lot of excited teams to beable to open the big mile, and that is goodfor Devil’s Bowl and for asphalt racing in theregion,” Curley concluded.

Three-time Thunder Road Champion, CrisMichaud from Williamstown likes the newtwist on having Thunder Road pointsawarded toward the 2010 Championship. “Ithink it is kind of neat that we get to openthe new track. It will certainly be a changefrom the high-banked mile to the relativelyflat half mile, but it should be fun. Our teamis looking forward to the challenge,” saidMichaud.

The 100-lap event will be a Devil’s Bowltraditional Sunday early evening ‘twilight’race for the opening of the new facility. “Wewanted to make sure we scheduled it earlyenough so that the traveling teams and fansthat come and support our opening at Dev-il’s Bowl can get home at a reasonable hourSunday evening,” said Jerry Richards, aCVRA partner and General Manager at Dev-il’s Bowl.

On Sunday, May 23, front gates will openat 11 a.m. and racing will begin at 2 p.m. forthe grand opening of the new Devil’s BowlSpeedway. Admission for the ACT ThunderRoad Late Model 100 lap event is only $15for Adults and Kids are free of charge. Allthe regular Devil’s Bowl divisions will alsobegin their season opening day.

For the Rutland girls theproblem was Brattleborohurler Kayla Woodson, whotossed a six hit shutout at thevisiting Raiders. Offensivelythe Colonels manged to scoretwice to secure a 2-0 win. Inthe second inning CassieRawson doubled and scoredon a double steal. They in-creased that lead to 2-0 in thefifth inning when SyndeySantore blasted a run scoringtriple off Rutland’s TaylorKresconko. Kresconko tookthe loss but pitched well, giv-ing up just two runs and fivehits, while recording eightstrikeouts in six innings ofwork. Emily Louras had adouble and a single whileTheresa Goodwin added twosingles for Rutland in the los-ing effort. The loss was thesecond for Rutland in asmany nights.

Last Friday the Raiderspreceded their loss to Brat-tleboro by losing in the finalsof the Drury Tournament totournament hosts DruryHigh School 13-4.
