girls’ basketball game between two teams in search of wins this season and that saw three lead changes in

-ly walked off with a dramatic 47-43 decision over Vergennes. Senior guard Tiffany Danyow

shrugged off an injury suffered late in regulation to score six of

her game-high 13 points in OT for the 3-9 Tigers, including two free throws at 0:51 that gave MUHS the lead for good at 44-43. Senior center Erin Connor

chipped in twice in OT — by lay-ing in a loose ball and blocking the Commodores’ potentially game-tying layup. Junior forward Julia Cluss then iced the win with two free throws.

Those efforts thwarted a remark-able VUHS comeback. The 2-11 Commodores trailed by 16-0 early in the second quarter, never led in regulation, and closed the fourth

1:32 to tie the game at 37-37.In that surge, VUHS senior for-

ward Cat Chaput sank two jump-ers, junior Ruby Dombek scored on a well-run inbounds play, and after

MUHS sophomore Lejla Mahmuljin had hit two clutch free throws to make it 37-34, VUHS junior Tay-lor Paquette swished a game-tying three-pointer at 0:30.

to make it 40-38, MUHS. VUHS answered when Chaput

found VUHS sophomore K.C. Am-brose on a back-door cut to make it 40-40, but Connor’s lay-in at 1:20 restored the MUHS lead at 42-40. The Commodores answered when freshman forward Nikki Salley put in a VUHS miss, was fouled and converted the three-point play at

Call this the Super Bowl leftovers column. I don’t mean the quesadil-las and guacamole I pulled out of the Kenmore for Monday lunch, but a few random afterthoughts about

writing momentum stalling, I’ll go into a dark room for half an hour and try to regroup.Let’s start with the main event.

Few of the Super Bowl commer-cials lived up to the hype. Min-nesotans talking Jamaican patois was insulting. Old folks party-ing? Was this

original, or was it a “Cocoon” re-make? And although I’m sure many fellow geeks dreamed of changing places with the guy on the godaddy.com ad, I sure didn’t want to watch.But listening to Paul Harvey’s

paean to farmers set against a back-drop of still images? That was pretty cool, especially because I recently interviewed a farmer who does most of that stuff Harvey talked about and really has been on the town school board for years (and now the select-board, too). Secondly, the halftime show hit

the mark. Beyoncé showed plenty of energy and actually sang, “Crazy in Love” is a great tune, and the multi-ple images were fun. I liked U-2 and Springsteen’s Super Bowl perfor-mances better, but Mrs. Carter rated a solid B+. The funny stuff came afterward:

People actually complained Beyon-cé’s performance and costume were too “risqué.” One poll on nbcnews.com was running 51-49 toward the too-racy tilt on Tuesday. I’m assum-ing the digital equivalent of ballot-

One question: Do any of these people ever watch NFL broadcasts? You know, the ones where the cam-era constantly shows the scantily clad cheerleaders? At least Beyoncé has demonstrable talent. More pow-er to her.Third, there were the announc-

ers. Sadly. As usual, I avoided all shows before the game (Typical sample: “You know, Dan, the team that is better prepared will win.”),

1:06. At 0:51, Danyow drew a foul and

sank both free throws to put the Ti-gers on top despite the noise gener-ated by the VUHS student fans, and she added another at 0:24 to make it 45-43. After Connor’s block, Cluss rebounded and hit two free throws at 0:06, and the four-point lead was safe.Danyow said the Commodores

“played a great game” to force overtime, but the Tigers were de-termined to prevail.“We didn’t want to lose,” Dan-

yow said. “They had the same re-cord we did. We’ve been struggling all year, and we just didn’t want to lose.”MUHS assistant coach Laura

coach Mary Nienow, noted the contributions of many of her play-ers, including the key plays and free throws in overtime and late in regulation. Cluss (10 points after a 12-point,

15-rebound effort vs. Missisquoi last week), Connor (eight points), junior Olivia Carpenter and Dan-yow helped the Tigers hold their on the boards against the taller Com-modores, who earned just a 44-43 edge, including team rebounds. Junior point guard Hannah Hobbs

added 10 points for MUHS. “It was absolutely a team effort,”

together as a team.”But she added Dan-

yow’s ability to return in overtime made a difference. “That was huge.

There’s just a sense of calm when Tiff’s

said. “She’s a natural leader.” VUHS coach Billy

Waller praised the Commodores for their effort down the stretch. “In the games that have been

close, we seem to hit on some clutch plays at the end,” Waller said. “We just came up a couple

short tonight.”But Waller is still searching for

answers for the Commodores’ ten-dency to start slow.

quarter continued a trend — he noted they are averaging just three points in their opening periods.“I don’t know what

more to do. We’ve changed things up. We’ve started differ-ent kids at times. It just doesn’t seem to

matter. We just aren’t ready to go when the game starts,” Waller said. “So I’m a little frustrated with that, but not frustrated with the effort. Our kids played hard.”Paquette and Chaput led VUHS

with eight points apiece, and Cha-put (11 rebounds) and Paquette (eight) also paced the Commodores on the boards. Senior forward Mor-gen Clark added seven rebounds,

points off the bench. Dombek

and Ambrose contributed a couple steals in the late going. The Commodore bench gave the

team a big lift in the second quarter as they got back in the game. Se-nior guard Katie Robinson scored four of her six points in the period, including a jumper at 6:42 that

the game, and freshman Sarah Po-irier-Thayer banked in consecutive three-pointers that cut the MUHS lead from 20-8 to 20-14 at 2:20. It was 24-16 at the half, and the

Commodores stayed within strik-ing range the rest of the way.“It allowed us to stay in the

game,” Waller said.Overall, Waller said the Com-

modores are dealing with adversity well, as could be seen by their rally on Monday. “They’re doing their best to keep

mentally in it. That’s the toughest thing when you’re not winning to stay mentally in it every day, but our kids seem to be doing that,” he said. “They’re all plugging away and getting better.”The Tigers have now won three

straight, although they face a tough home test from 13-1 Mount Abra-ham on Thursday. Emilo — owner of a 1-0 record

as a head coach — said the Tigers’ recent streak is a good reward for

their effort this winter, and she was pleased to see them show their mettle in Monday’s overtime. “The girls have worked so hard

this year, and they really deserve it,” Emilo said. “Things are start-ing to come together. We haven’t played a game that tight all year. So for them to stay composed and tough it out is really exciting.”Danyow would like to see the

victories keep rolling in, and there are winnable games as well as chal-lenges left on the schedule. Regardless, she said the Tigers

will enjoy the rest of the winter. “Mary and Laura are really good

at keeping our heads up,” Danyow said. “We’ve all been pretty posi-tive about everything.”Andy Kirkaldy may be reached at

analysis at halftime (Sample: “The Ravens took better care of the ball and converted in the red zone, and that’s why they’re ahead.”) and postgame wrap-up (Sample: “The Ravens made the plays when they had to.”). But it’s hard to escape

them during the game. Phil Simms typically at one point said he didn’t want to second-guess play-calling. OK, if he’s not going to do that, what is he there for?He even lacked the

nerve to challenge the Ravens’ curious decision

on fourth-and-nine. No one ever pointed out that it might not have been the smartest thing to risk having a 250-pound 49er linebacker break Raven kicker Justin Tucker in two before halftime. Tucker is generously list-ed at six feet tall, 180 pounds, for the record. Ah well, what can you expect from people making seven

Look, I didn’t have a dog in this hunt. I had a slight preference for San Francisco because to the best of my knowledge, only Baltimore

had a guy who was in a limo with a group of people who murdered two other people at the 2000 Super Bowl — Ray Lewis, who nonethe-less claimed God was on his side in Sunday’s game. Ray must be doing some good work on the other Nine Commandments, I guess.

But I liked the Balti-more Harbaugh better than the SF Harbaugh (maybe it’s an older brother thing, but more so I appreciate the way John H. treats his daugh-ter on the sideline).So I’m pretty objec-

tive. And that was a hold on Crabtree on fourth-and-goal, and a non-called offensive pass interference on Ravens’ receiver Torrey Smith earlier in the game, to name two. It was an un-fortunately poorly called

game. One last note on what might have

been the biggest upset of the play-offs: Nate Silver isn’t perfect. The man who correctly predicted

all 50 states in November’s Presi-dential election called it for the 49ers. Even Silver can’t win them all.Andy Kirkaldy may be reached at

weight classes.More importantly, Raymond said,

he saw the Tigers wrestle well.“Tonight, I’d say was the best

we’ve wrestled all season,” Ray-mond said. “Our goal was to slowly build up and increase our intensity as the season starts to come to a close. And we’re three weeks from states and the guys are starting to peak at the right time.”He has the highest hopes for four

Tiger wrestlers in the higher weight classes: Senior Tyler LaPlant at 220, senior Gabe LaBerge at 195, junior Jakob Trautwein at 182, and senior Chris Wright — who has just re-turned to the mat — at 285. “Tyler and Gabe, both should be

top three and qualify for New Eng-lands … I think Jake Trautwein at 182 should be right up in there,” Raymond said. “Chris Wright is a heavyweight we just got back … and he’s a very promising heavyweight.

Another MUHS contender, senior 170-pounder Skyler Shute, will miss the rest of the season with a knee injury, according to Raymond, who said he felt “awful” for a wrestler who reached the podium in 2012.

-od pin on Tuesday, against NCU’s Zachary Hawkins and the Com-modores’ Greg McGrath. LaPlant pinned a teammate in an exhibition bout, while Wright lost by pin to another promising wrestler who is returning to the mat, VUHS senior Dylan Lorrain. Trautwein lost to VUHS senior

T.J. Simpson in one of the night’s two best matches, 5-3, on a third-

-onds. Both Raymond and VUHS coach

Nate Kittredge were happy with their wrestlers after that match.“In that match Jakob wrestled very

well. It was just a few little things,” Raymond said. “Jake needs to keep him in the center of the mat against a good wrestler like T.J. Simpson.”Kittredge said Simpson started out

the season at 160, but hit a growth spurt and has fared well at both 170 and 182, and will compete at a heavi-er weight at the state meet. The evening’s other most dra-

matic match pitted two promising 106-pound freshmen, Nate Gebo from MUHS and Ethan Reardon from VUHS. Gebo broke a 4-4 tie with a takedown at 0:40 of the third period and rode out the competitive win. “(Gebo) comes out sometimes a

little slow, and it takes him a while to build into the match. But tonight he came out right off the whistle,” Ray-

mond said. “He went out there and beat a kid he lost to a couple weeks ago, and it was one of the reasons we won the dual.”Kittredge’s VUHS squad defeated

Mount Abe, 36-16, and NCU, 42-6. Like Raymond, Kittredge focused more on the big picture. He has a number of top wrestlers, like Lor-rain, just returning from injury. Oth-ers include sophomore Luke Stinch-

possibly sophomore Erik Eisenhow-er, although his status for the state meet remains uncertain.Kittredge said those wrestlers, like

Simpson, could do well when the Commodores host on Feb. 22 and 23. “We have a situation where a lot

of my really good kids got hurt,” Kittredge said. “But … they’re all seeming to come back right now.

We’ve got two, three weeks before states and it’s probably good timing for that. Hopefully they stay healthy and push hard and they stay healthy for states. They’ll probably go in unseeded, not ranked where they should be, but in the end it comes down to how good you are that day, anyway.”Mount Abe coach Pete Lossman’s

team — which defeated NCU, 18-6, on Tuesday — has been hit hard by injuries and other issues. But he is optimistic about the state-meet pros-pects for senior T.J. George, who has compiled a 24-10 record at 152 pounds;; senior Mike Wetzel, who has moved up to 182 and is 18-7;; and sophomore Josh Roy at 112. “Mike and T.J. both are ranked

outside edge, so anything can hap-pen,” Lossman said. “We’re hoping

for the better.”Wetzel and Roy were ill on Tues-

day, and the Eagle highlight came in George’s only match. He moved up to 160 and scored an 18-3 tech-nical fall over Commodore Jordan Grant.Tuesday’s matches were scheduled

to allow wrestlers time to rest be-tween matches, rather than lining up the teams to square off against each other one at a time. Youth matches were also added, and MUHS assis-tant Jon Ashley said the Middlebury Parks and Recreation Department is still open to youths interested in signing up for youth wrestling. (He said those interested may email him at [email protected] for more infor-mation.)In other contested matches:

It’s against the law to discriminate when advertising housing related activities.

Particularly on sites like Craigslist.

And it’s easier to break the law than you might

think. You can’t say “no children” or “adults only.”

There is lots you can’t say. The federal government

is watching for such discrimination.

Let us help you sift through the complexities of the Fair

Housing Law. Stay legal. Stay on the right side of the

Great information from:

Board Member Spotlight

The folks at the Parent/Child Center believe that all

parents want to be good parents. Sometimes they just

need help. Staff members treat everyone who walks

through the door with respect. They show people tools

that work. Whether they are helping a family in crisis, a

child with special needs, or a young person learning to

parent a child, the staff members are patient, resilient and

resourceful. Our county is tremendously fortunate to have

Please come out and support our children as they experience what it is like to act in front of an audience, some for the

time in grade school. The next FCS school board meeting will be held on Thursday, Feb. 14, at 6:30 p.m. in the FCS art room. Ferrisburgh residents are always encouraged to attend these meetings. The Ferrisburgh Grange’s monthly

meeting will be on Saturday, Feb. 9 at 2 p.m. at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall and Community Center. This month’s meeting will feature a presi-dential theme, in honor of Presidents’ Day on Feb.18. The Grange’s famous “King Pede” card parties will continue throughout the winter. The February parties are scheduled for the Saturdays of Feb. 9 and Feb. 23 at 6:30 p.m. These get-togethers are held at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall and Community Center and begin with a sandwich supper and then on to an evening of fun and card games.

Come in elegant dress and be prepared for an enjoyable evening of wonderful music and deli-cious desserts.FCS welcomed Joni White-Hansen

to the school for an entire week of Circus Smirkus fun. The students spent the week juggling, balancing plates and feathers, trying their hand at devil sticks and diabolos. A good time was had by all as the students worked on concentration and sharp-ening their skills for the big show at Vergennes Union Middle School, which was held on Friday night, Feb. 1. Each class performed in front of a full house of families who came out to see what the students had learned during their week. This is the third time that FCS has welcomed Circus Smirkus for the artist-in-residence program. The entire week was spon-sored by the FCS PTO with gener-ous donations from Neat Repeats, Otter Creek Engineering, Cookie Love and the FCS families. For more

information on Circus Smirkus, visit www.smirkus.org. Recently there have been several

events of break-ins or attempted break-ins at homes in Ferrisburgh and the surrounding area. A general meeting for Ferrisburgh residents is being planned so that homeowners can learn more about what they can do to reduce the likelihood that they may become a victim of robbery or vandalism. The meeting will take place in February, the time and place is yet to be determined. Meanwhile, residents should employ common-sense protective measures such as always locking their houses and cars, installing motion sensors, and being vigilant for strangers in the neigh-borhood. For more information or updates, contact Sally Kerschner at [email protected] Ferrisburgh Historical Society

welcomes all who have an interest in Vermont history to attend a presen-tation by local history expert Dan

Cole at the Ferrisburgh Town Hall/Community Center on Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 7 p.m. The presentation, titled “Pills & Potions, Liquor & Laudanum: Medicine in the Civil War Era,” includes vivid images of medical treatments available to soldiers of the Civil War era. The talk is partially based on letters writ-ten between soldiers from the local area and their families, including the plight of a Cassius Frederick Newell, who was baptized at the Congregational Church in Charlotte. Newell joined the ranks of the Union Army as a private at the age of 16, having run away from home to do

reported soldier’s death.As with 60 percent of casualties

of the Civil War, Newell’s death was attributed not to wounds incurred in battle, but to dysentery and diar-rhea, which was rampant through-out battalions on both sides of the

diphtheria and mumps were also root causes for the deaths of many soldiers. Upon their return, many soldiers were emaciated, malnour-ished and crippled due to the level of medical care they received. Many of those who survived to return home from battle would then have to battle chronic pain and stress throughout their remaining years.Dan has a bachelor of arts degree

in history and literature from the University of Vermont and is a freelance researcher, writer and genealogist living with his family in Charlotte. He spoke as a guest lecturer at the Cambridge Historical Society’s Civil War Days, selected by the governor’s Sesquicentennial Commission as one of the top 10 Civil War events for 2012. Dan is one of the “bloodhounds” for Civil War

“Nine Months to Gettysburg” and “The Battered Stars”), researching Shelburne and Charlotte Civil War sites. For more information, contact Gail Blasius, 425-4505.The Vergennes Union Middle/High

School Commodore Parent Teacher Group is always welcoming new members to help with their growing list of initiatives including Back to School Night, the annual Rummage Sale, baking snacks during NECAPs, and fundraising to support academ-ics. The next meeting is Monday, Feb. 25, at 7 p.m. in the VUHS library. All parents are welcome to participate so please contact Carla Mayo at [email protected] for more information.The Commodore Parent Group

is pleased to announce two grant recipients for its inaugural enrich-ment grant program. Jeff Meyers and Ralph Bernardini received a $500 grant to support their eighth-grade transition team. The group of 10-12 students will carry out two exciting

red oak table using hand tools. The second is to manufacture simple tools and household objects, with help from the Lake Champlain Maritime Museum Blacksmith Program. The Vergennes Oratorical Guild is a new extra-curricular organization that competes in statewide speech and debate events. The Commodore award of $255 will allow the guild to register with the national organiza-tions, thereby allowing the students to qualify for and participate in events beyond the state level.Town Meeting is on Tuesday,

March 5. Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. and the actual town meet-ing session will begin at 10 a.m. All events will be at the Ferrisburgh Central School. Everyone should review the town annual report and plan to participate in this valu-able event that is at the core of our democratic approach to our town governance. Also, the Ferrisburgh Daisy Girl Scouts will be selling their famous cookies in the FCS lobby at town meeting — so bring your cash or checkbook to buy those Thin Mints and all the other classic cookies. Lake Champlain Maritime

Museum (LCMM) is now employ-ing amazing new technology to learn about the valuable history of the many artifacts that lie submerged in Lake Champlain. The museum’s archaeologists are using 3D sonar scanning units to scan and record these underwater cultural resources. This technology has the poten-tial to greatly enhance the study of submerged archaeological sites located in turbid waters where detailed archaeological documenta-tion is impractical. Funding from the National Park Service’s National Center for Preservation Technology and Training allowed LCMM to pursue this research, utilizing scan-ning sonar equipment from Teledyne BlueView.Recently, the LCMM archaeolo-

gists deployed the 3D mechanical scanning sonar to document the wreck site of the Sloop Island Canal Boat, that sank off the coast of Charlotte in the early 19th century. The resulting composite 3D model of the entire wreck allows the remains of the boat to be examined in a completely innovative way. Vermont Public Television recorded these extraordinary activities and broadcast the show on “Out and About” during the week of Jan. 28. More informa-tion about this fascinating technology can be found at the museum’s website at www.lcmm.org. Archived versions of the VPT show can be viewed at the www.vpt.org/show/19709/104.

Editor’s note: This piece was contributed by Leonard Perry, University of Vermont Extension professor.What goes around, comes around,

as the saying goes. What was true in the late 1800s is repeating itself in the beginning of this new century. Just as people then were yearning for a simpler life — nostalgia for the past as they faced the new industrial revo-lution — so are people looking for a simpler time during this technology revolution and information age. Many of the plants and the garden-

ing styles today are similar to those of a century ago, giving credence to another saying that nothing is really new, just rediscovered. This garden-ing style and accompanying plant palette is a trend often known as “Grandmother’s Garden.” It is really the American cottage

garden, an old-fashioned garden of hardy perennials, annuals (many self-sown like Johnny jump-ups), and native American plants. Although native plants are increasing in popu-larity now for reasons such as helping pollinators, a century ago they often were more readily available than new introductions. In addition to native plants,

have become once again. Tropical plants, especially those with bold foliage, were introduced into the more formal Victorian gardens, another trend rediscovered in today’s gardens. These include such as the canna and castor bean, large elephant ears and smaller but similarly shaped caladiums. These days we see lots of ornamental grasses used in gardens, such as the fountain grass, just as they used then. Roses, peonies, phlox and hollyhocks were among the peren-nials commonly planted and are still popular now. Often appearing haphazard or

growing at random, grandmother’s garden was actually designed as a painting with an eye to composition using color, shape and texture. It is no wonder then that so many paint-ers, writers, poets and other artists created such gardens. These gardens inspired them and often are seen in their works. This is well stated by Frank Waugh in his 1910 book, “The Landscape Beautiful.” He notes that “every botanizing old maid, male or female, knows plant names. Every good nurseryman knows the plants. Only the artist and the genius know how to blend these materials into pictures of abiding beauty.” If you’d like to create such a

garden, to be an “artist” or “genius,” landscape architect Thomas Rainer notes that three design principles should be employed. Cottage gardens

individual plant types aren’t as impor-tant as sheer volume. You shouldn’t be able to see soil or mulch, and don’t use groundcovers.

were used. These perform as their

the spreading perennial geraniums or masses of low ornamental grasses.Thirdly, cottage gardens had a mix

want to use upright spikes such as hollyhocks or foxgloves or false indigo, along with button shapes such as bee balm, daisies such as cone

phlox, and plumes such as astilbe or goatsbeard. These American old-fashioned

gardens of yesteryear differed from gardens abroad, such as the English gardens, in that they were most often the work of one person (usually a woman) instead of a team of garden-ers (usually men). They were often rectangular beds, bordered by planks, stones, or low-growing plants, compared to the English borders. These old-fashioned gardens also

were different from the more formally designed estate gardens of the period, the formal Victorian gardens, or the functional gardens of working farms. The old-fashioned garden often incorporated vegetables and fruits for aesthetics and show, rather than just for food as in the working and prior colonial gardens. Such “multi-func-tional” gardens are once again popu-lar, and a component of permaculture. Unlike the larger estate gardens

and those of England, which were separate from the living quarters and entities unto themselves, the old-fashioned gardens were located close to the house. They often were used as intimate living spaces or an outdoor room, much as we see in today’s home gardens. Most of our garden traditions and

trends today originated during the period of Grandmother’s Garden (1865-1915). While we often hear of

horticulture literature of that period on American gardens, many of these concepts actually were written about prior to these books and ideas being known in America. Gardens, just as music and other

works of art, really are a result and

and lifestyles of the time. For more on this period of gardening, generally between the Civil War and World War I, consult your library or used book sellers for “Grandmother’s Garden: The Old-Fashioned American Garden 1865-1915,” by art historian May Brawley Hill.
