points, building a 44-34 lead. Low-ry hit another three with 8:40 to play to put Middlebury within seven, but Skidmore put the game out of reach with back-to-back threes that made it 53-37 with 8:48 left. For Skidmore, Jordyn Wartts re-

corded 10 points and 12 rebounds, while adding four steals. Lowry led the Panthers with 12 points and six rebounds, while Alexis Coolidge and Marcus each scored 11 points. The Panthers are off until a Dec.

in Vermont … Cale is exception-ally technical in all aspects of ball control, passing and shooting … He also takes his understanding of the game to the defensive side by being in the right space to sup-port his teammates … What I think has been the most impressive part of Cale’s season has been his lead-ership, his ability through his ac-

MIDDLEBURY — Former Middlebury College football coach Mickey Heinecken will receive the George C. Carens Award for contri-butions to the game of football from the New England Football Writers. Heinecken, the All-New England

teams and several others will be honored at the organization’s annual banquet this Thursday, Dec. 12, in Stoneham, Mass. The Carens award has been given annually since 1952.Heinecken took over the football

program at Middlebury in the fall of 1972. Twenty-eight years later, he retired at the age of 62 with a ca-reer record of 126-95-2, ranking him eighth all-time in wins in the history of New England Division III college football. He has coached more games (223)

and has more wins (126) than any other coach in school history and is one of only 13 coaches in New England to have amassed more than 100 wins in his career. Following the 1977 and 1981 seasons, Heinecken was named the All-Division New England Coach of the Year.Heinecken has been instrumental

in the development of the Vermont Chapter of the National Football Foundation. He founded the Ver-mont group in 1993 and has served as its chairman ever since. The foun-dation’s purpose is to promote the positive aspects of high school foot-ball in Vermont. He also served for 12 years as a member of the Middle-bury Union High School board.Prior to his arrival at Middlebury,

Heinecken spent 10 years as an as-sistant coach at the University of Delaware. There he coached both

Every November, Vermont has a popular squirrel watching season. Tens of thousands of us avid squir-rel watchers take to the woods and spend two weeks just sitting or qui-etly walking around watching squir-rels. We watch big fat old squirrels

skitter around in the leaves looking for nuts. We watch young yearling squirrels play tag, chasing each other around the trunks of trees.

We watch daring squirrels perform dea th -de fy ing feats of agility and grace as they scramble along precariously thin branches and leap from tree to

tree, using their bushy tails as emer-gency grappling hooks.These are the gray squirrels. The

ones we watch. There is also a co-inciding squirrel-listening season involving red squirrels. While the gray squirrels run around playing and digging in the leaves, largely ignoring the squirrel watchers, the red squirrels just get up in a tree — somewhere nearby where we are stationed watching gray squirrels — and then start incessantly scold-ing us.It is an addictive activity. Us squir-

rel watchers and squirrel listeners will go to great lengths to enjoy our sport. We rise earlier in the morning than we are willing to rise for any other activity. We freeze off various parts of our anatomy. We climb up into trees with seats strapped to our butts. We traipse through swamps. We spent money and hours to build squirrel watching platforms out in the woods. We repeatedly risk the wrath of our spouses. Between 16 days of squirrel watching in Novem-ber, and another nine in December, I wouldn’t be surprised if there were Vermonters who spent a hundred or more hours in the activity every fall. A hundred hours when there is often nothing else happening in the woods except for squirrels running around us, scolding, making noises in the leaves, and leaping from branch to branch.On the opening eve of squirrel

watching season this year, I spent the night out on my newly con-structed squirrel watching platform, 16 feet up in the tree, so that I would

ADDISON COUNTY — Vermont State Police are investigating the theft of approximately 12 Christmas trees from Green Haven Nursery in New Haven. The Route 7 business recently had

500 Christmas trees delivered and they reported that approximately 12 were stolen overnight between Dec. 4 and 5. The value of each tree is ap-proximately $40. The trooper recommended that the

property owner use game cameras in an effort to obtain photographic evi-dence on those stealing the Christ-mas trees. Anyone with information on this

theft is asked to contact VSP New Haven at 1-802-388-4919. Informa-tion can also be submitted anony-mously online at www.vtips.info or by texting “CRIMES” (274637) to Keyword: VTIPS.Meanwhile, VSP at the New Ha-

ven barracks are investigating the reports of 10 motor vehicle break-ins — seven at homes on Mountain Road in Addison and three at resi-dences on Snake Mountain Road in Weybridge. At some of the homes multiple vehicles were entered. Police believe the break-ins oc-

curred after midnight on Dec. 8 and before daylight. All of the vehicles that were en-

tered were unlocked. There was no damage done to any of the vehicles and most had nothing taken from them. A few vehicle owners report that loose change was stolen. The state police remind people

to lock their vehicles when they are away from them — even in drive-ways. Anyone with information on this incident is asked to contact the VSP.In other recent activity, troopers:

-sponded to a two-car crash at the junction of Route 116 and 17 in Bristol north of the village. Police reported that 29-year-old Savan-nah Norris of Bristol was driving a 1997 Subaru westbound on Route 17, stopped at the posted stop sign at the Route 116 intersection, then turned northbound on Route 116. Police said Norris’s car then crossed over the centerline and struck a 2002 Audi driven southbound on 116 by Taylor Cameron, 31, of Burlington. Both cars sustained minor damage, but no injuries were reported. Police issued Norris a ticket for the acci-dent as well as a civil ticket for pos-session of marijuana.

to a two-vehicle crash at the inter-section of Route 7 and 22A in Fer-risburgh. State police reported that a 2002 International truck driven by Ronald Telgen, 52, of Middlebury rear ended a 2011 Ford Focus driven by Scottie Grullon, 18, of Vergennes after Grullon stopped at a yellow light. The trooper reported that the weather and road conditions were both clear. No injuries were reported and both vehicles sustained minor damage.

-sponded to a car-bus crash on Route 17 in Bristol. Police said Carl M. Reynolds, 52, of Shoreham was driving an Addison County Tran-sit Resources bus with six passen-gers aboard slowing on Route 17 when Gabriel R.D. Laberge, 18, of Shoreham approached from behind driving a 2001 Nissan Maxima. Police report that Laberge became distracted and ran into the rear of the bus, causing minor damage to the bus and totaling her car. Three passengers inside the bus were transported to Porter Hospital with non-incapacitating injuries. La-berge was screened for injuries at the scene and released. VSP were assisted at the scene by

the Bristol Police Department, Bris-tol Fire Department, and the Ver-mont Department of Motor Vehicles. The crash is still under investigation.

Kendra Wolfe’s favorite aspect of volun-teering for Addison County Court Diversion is the commitment to teamwork shared by the members of the Reparative Board. “I have so enjoyed working with my fellow volunteers and have loved meeting many new people from the community.” Kendra, who lives in Bristol, also “enjoys seeing people turn a situation around and decide to better their lives. I’m fortunate to not only see this demonstrated by individuals who go through Court Diversion, but also at my work at Northlands Job Corps.” Court Diversion staff members describe Kendra as “a wonderfully committed and willing volunteer. She is always so thoughtful, being particularly delicate when working with vulnerable clients. She is such a joy to have with us!” Thank you, Kendra.

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

nation’s Fair Housing Law.

‘Tis the Season… Are You Ready?Selling your home during the holiday season does have some

advantages… holiday buyers tend to be more serious and competition is less !erce with fewer homes being actively marketed.

5 Tips for Selling Your Home during the Holidays! 1. Deck the halls, but don’t go overboard.Homes often look their best during the holidays, but sellers should be careful not to overdo it on the décor with large, overwhelming decorations, trees, religious items, etc.3. Make curb appeal a top priority.Now that snow has started to fall, maintaining the exterior of your home becomes even more important as bare trees equal a more exposed home so touch up the paint, clean the gutters, etc. Keep buyers’ safety in mind as well by making sure stairs and walkways are free of snow, ice and leaves.3. Seek out motivated buyers.Anyone house hunting during the holidays must have a good reason for doing so. Work with your REALTOR® to target buyers on a deadline, including people relocating for jobs in your area, investors on tax deadlines, etc.4. Price it to sell.No matter what time of year, a home that’s priced just right or even low for the market will make buyers feel the warmth of your holiday spirit!5. Hire a reliable real estate agent.That means someone who will work hard for you and won’t disappear during the holiday season. This will ease your stress and give you more time to enjoy the season.

ABOUT THE PROJECT

to write, helps them improve and connects them with authentic audi-ences through the Newspaper Series (and youngwritersproject.org) and the Schools Project (ywpschools.net). Support: YWP is supported by this newspaper and foundations, businesses and individuals who recognize the power and value of writing. If you would like to contribute, please go to youngwritersproject.org/support, or mail your donation to YWP, 12 North St., Suite 8, Burlington, VT 05401. In Hannah’s words: “I am 14, and a freshman at Middlebury Union High

School. I joined the Calliope club this year, and when I wasn’t rehearsing in the school play, “Cinderella,” I was going every week for an excuse to write. Calliope has given me a chance to improve my writing skills, as well as a chance to befriend other amazing writers, and listen to their fantastic poems, stories, or narratives. Being surrounded by fellow writers has made me want to test myself, and push the limits further than my writing has ever gone. My friends inspire me, as well as my experience being one of Cinderella’s ‘ugly’ stepsisters, and my stage mother and sister, who have just been awesome ever since our little family was put together.”

I Believe in AngelsBY HANNAH ROQUE

GRADE 9, MIDDLEBURY UNION HIGH SCHOOL

I believe in angels. I believe that some people are born with an unknown ulterior motive given to them by some higher divinity.

This ulterior motive?Helping people.But not helping all of humanity in huge masses.Well, they may be here to help multiple people, but not all at once.No, they help one individual out at a time.They help that person probably without knowing it.It’s just because they’re there.Or maybe because of the lengthy Facebook chats.Or maybe even because of one squeeze of your hand, or a little smirk across the room, or a sudden hug that comes from nowhere.

Or, it could be because they tell you that they will always be there for you.

Always, no matter what’s going on.I believe in angels.Why?Because I believe that one has been sent to me.
