million, two-year contract from the Blue Jays this year. The so-called Steroid Era in base-

ball is an enormous stain on the game. When statistical landmarks are discounted, all records subject to interpretation, much of the fun out of following the game is lost. So I’ll not be watching much Ma-

jor League Baseball this season, right? Not on your life. I’ve already start-

ed draft preparation for my fantasy baseball league. I can’t wait to see how the Red Sox’s new approach will work. Big-time college sports is a mess.It has very little to do with “col-

lege,” making a mockery of the “stu-dent”/athlete. Coaches move from school to

school, paid more in salary than their Presidents. The athletes themselves are uncompensated, unless you con-sider a scholarship for an education that few want and only partake of re-luctantly adequate compensation for the millions of dollars they earn for their universities. Events like the BCS football

championship games and basket-ball’s March Madness bring in mil-lions for the schools and the NCAA.My response: I’m headed to At-

lanta in early April with my son Pe-ter for the Final Four. It’s his high school graduation present. How do I reconcile the excess and

corruption of this sportsworld and my devotion to it?It’s not easy. Sometimes I tell myself that I like

these sports in an essential way and played them myself and will not deny myself the opportunity to watch their most skilled practitioners. Mostly, though, I take heart from

watching sports at the lower levels of play and hoopla where it’s not a

mess, where kids and young adults play for one another and the sheer enjoyment of the game and the ex-hilaration of competition and physi-cal effort.When I’m most discouraged by

sports at the highest level, I am re-stored by going to a game locally. I am not one to make exagger-

ated claims for sports participation as preparation for later life, but I do

collaboration of team play and learn loyalty and discipline on teams. I am glad my kids — I have four — have played (or are playing) sports in school. I am thrilled when I go to games,

like the recent Vergennes-Middle-bury boys’ basketball games, where the whole town turned out and the kids played their hearts out and shook hands at the end of the game.Last week, at Middlebury College,

along with 1,200 other fans, I saw perhaps the best basketball game I’ve ever witnessed, after all these years of watching games, when the college men’s team lost to Amherst,

-onds of the third overtime period. The quality of basketball in this

game was high, played by real stu-dents, very good players, true, who are unpaid and go to class and study willingly, who commit themselves to

that it will all end, soon enough. These contests distilled the true es-

sence of sports.

said. “So we’ll come in ready.”It also helps, Quinn said, that his

team is playing its best man-to-man defense of the winter. He has asked them to be disciplined rather than gamble on steals, and they held the 14-5 Tigers to a season-low point to-tal. “People aren’t gambling. As long

as people aren’t gambling and are forcing people to have to beat us, we’re tough, because our guys know what they’re doing out there,” Quinn said. “We did that, and Middlebury had to earn their shots tonight.”Tiger coach Chris Altemose ap-

preciated that his team also held the Commodores to a point total that equaled their season low. But he had expected more out of his offense, which did appear tentative at times, if also unlucky — several shots rolled off the rim. “Defensively we were good. We

got off to the start we wanted to get off to,” Altemose said. “We just can’t score 36 points and expect to win very many games.”

one,” Altemose said. “We can. We’ve just got to put the ball in the hole a little better.”Certainly, Quinn is a

believer. “I could say some of

the same things about Middlebury I just said about my team,” Quinn said. “They played really tough D.” Buckets were hard to come by

his 11 for MUHS, while Connor Col-lins scored a bucket and set up two hoops, including Marrott Weekes’ three-point play. Freshman Perry De-Lorenzo (11 points) also came off the bench to hit a jumper in the period,

and his defense slowed Salley down. After a Zach Ouellette jumper put

VUHS up by three to open the sec-ond quarter, a DeLorenzo trey tied the game and Collins hit on the break to put MUHS up, 16-14. Stanley con-verted a three-point play to put the Commodores up by one, after which

Collins responded by going coast-to-coast at 4:40 to make it 18-17, MUHS. But then the Tigers

went scoreless for the remainder of the period while VUHS put 10 points on the board to lead at the break, 27-18. Ouellette (13 points,

six rebounds, three as-sists) sank a three at 4:20 to restore the VUHS lead, Hayes drove for two, Salley hit in the post, and Cody Quat-trocci sank a three after a late Tiger turnover.Charlie Stapleford

opened the second half with a trey, and the Com-

modore lead was 12. MUHS fought back with a 9-2 run that included two DeLorenzo treys, the second of which energized the Tiger fans in the packed house at the four-minute mark.But MUHS again began to miss the

mark, and Ouellette scored six straight points, two off a Shep Carter steal and assist, to push the VUHS lead back up to 38-27. Weekes converted a putback to make it 38-29 entering the fourth. Quattrocci (six points, seven assists,

six rebounds) opened the fourth with a hoop on a Carter feed to make it 40-29, but the Tigers made one more run. Provencher sank a three and added a putback, and Collins (eight points) hit

two free throws after a steal at 6:05 to make it 40-36. Then came a huge momentum

swing. VUHS missed, and Provench-er had another open look at a trey. The ball went halfway down, but popped back out. At the other end, Stapleford and Carter hit treys on consecutive trips while the Tiger shots refused to fall, and the Commodores controlled their defensive boards. With 4:10 to go, it was 46-36, and

the Tigers could not get the ball in the

six VUHS points down the stretch as the Commodores pulled away. MUHS did a few things right: de-

duel, when they trailed by 17 early before rallying;; and fewer turnovers, 11.Altemose credited the Commo-

dores. “They’re good. It’s a tough place

to play, a great crowd, a fun game. My guys played hard. I do think we played really good D. We battled on the boards. We did take care of the ball,” Altemose said. “We’ve just got to make the buckets a little better. We

and in the second half I thought Ver-gennes did a really nice job on their defensive boards.”Carter noted the Commodore and

Tiger seniors have been playing each other since their elementary school years. “This is the last chance we’ll have

to play Middlebury, and the rivalry we have with Middlebury is just unbelievable,” Carter said. “I love playing those guys, and I’m sure they love playing us. It’s always a fun rivalry.”And he said the Commodores are

playing with a high level of belief in themselves and in each other. “We’re starting to peak right now,

which is really nice going into the playoffs,” he said. “I think this is our

team.”Quinn noted his team’s ball move-

ADDISON COUNTY — The FFA (formally Future Farmers of America) is a national organiza-tion founded by a group of young farmers back in 1928. The FFA helps young people develop career, leadership and life skills through agricultural education. Today ag-riculture is more than planting and harvesting — it’s a science, it’s a

business and it’s an art.Here in Ad-

dison County, FFA members are typically s t u d e n t s enrolled in agricultural courses such as the Sustain-

able Agriculture, Forestry and Natural Resources, Diesel Power Technology, Me-chanical Science or Plant/Animal Science programs at the Patricia A. Hannaford Career Center or Ver-gennes Union High School.Students have the opportunity

to compete in career development events, known as CDEs, with oth-er FFA members from around the state. FFA teams that win these events are eligible to travel to the National FFA Convention in Indi-ana representing Vermont to com-pete against teams from the other states.This year the Hannaford Career

Center Sustainable Agriculture and Forestry/Natural Resources class attended the Vermont State Land and Soil Evaluation CDE at the Vermont Technical College. The Middlebury FFA team placed sec-ond out of 10 competing schools. Six students placed in the top 10 for their individual scores. FFA member Cody Emmons placed third in the state for his individual score. The Forestry and Natural Resources Class also had a team compete out in Indianapolis at the National FFA Convention in the Spring Forestry CDE. That team secured a silver medal.

CLASSIFIEDSAddison Independent

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.

Police said the stolen items — a Deputy F&W badge, collar brass and a tie clip — belong to one of the victims, Deputy Warden Eugene Stearns.The total value of the stolen prop-

erty is estimated at $8,000, according to police.Anyone with information is asked to

contact VSP Senior Trooper Andrew Leise or Sgt. Steve McNamara at 802-388-4919. Information can also be submitted anonymously online at www.vtips.info, or by texting “CRIMES” (274637) to Keyword: VTIPS.In other recent activity, VSP:

called to investigate the burglary of a residence on Route 125 in Cornwall.

Jane Swift, the former governor of Massachusetts. Among the items reported stolen from the residence was prescription medication. It is estimated the burglary occurred between 7 a.m. and 7:15 p.m. that day. Anyone with information is asked to contact VSP.

a motorist after receiving a complaint of erratic driving. A trooper stopped a car driven by Khushal M. Rochlani,

Main Street in Vergennes, and said that Rochlani was in possession of

marijuana and prescription pills. He cited Rochlani for possession of controlled substances. Vergennes police assisted in the investigation.

a motor vehicle driven by Jessica Wyrocki, 21, of Ripton on Route 116 in Bristol. Police cited Wyrocki for possession of a regulated substance,

as Robin Pierce, 33, of Ripton, for possession of marijuana.

a motor vehicle driven by Benjamin Flint, 19, of Winooski for failing to stop at a stop sign at the intersection of Route 7 and Campground Road in New Haven. Police said they found Flint was in possession of marijuana

and alcohol. The trooper cited Flint into the Addison Superior Court, Criminal Division, for possession of marijuana. The trooper reported that the alcohol violation was not a crimi-nal matter.

a report of an assault at a work site in Lyndon. The victim and accused came to the VSP barracks in St. Johnsbury to give statements. Police said their subsequent investigation revealed that Thomas Plantier, 26, of Bristol assaulted another individual, and they cited Plantier into Caledonia Court for simple assault.

responded to a two-car crash at the Shoreham Service Center off Route 22A in Shoreham. Police report that James Abbott, 33, of Bristol was backing away from a gas pump when the 2012 Toyota Camry he was driv-ing collided with a 2013 Mercedes GLK350 driven by Fayez Nathoo, 42, of Long Island City, N.Y.

8:22 p.m. responded to a residence in Panton for the report of a family

49, of Ferrisburgh for aggravated domestic assault and lodged him at the Marble Valley Correctional Center.While Trooper Doxsee was

responding to the domestic assault report in Panton, his car lost trac-tion on snow-covered Panton Road in Panton and slid into an embank-ment. The cruiser, a 2010 Ford Crown Victoria, sustained minor contact damage to the front bumper and damage to the rear tire. The trooper was uninjured.

VERGENNES — Police said drug charges are possible follow-ing a Feb. 12 North Main Street incident in which they responded to help Vergennes Area Rescue Squad personnel deal with a man who was apparently overdosing on a drug.Police said when they drove up

a man and a woman were outside their car, and the man was obvi-ously ailing. Police allege he admitted he was having a bad reaction to some heroin he had taken, and VARS took him to Porter Hospital. Police said they also received

consent to search him and the vehicle. They found a bag of urine in his pocket, which police speculate the man was going to use to try to defeat a drug test, and drug paraphernalia in the car, in which there was also a young child.Police said they gathered

enough residue from that para-phernalia to send away for testing, and said they may file charges when testing is complete.Also, given the recent rash

of car and home break-ins and entries, Chief George Merkel is advising residents to be careful about remembering to lock their cars and homes, and not leaving valuables in their vehicles. In other action between Feb.

11 and 17, Vergennes police:
