CAVENDISH — Black Riv-er High School senior Emily Hammond was recently cho-sen as the 2010 recipient of the Daughters Of American Revo-lution (DAR) Good Citizen Award. The honor is given to the student that most exempli-fi es dependability, leadership, service and patriotism.

The staff at Black River High School nominates three students, before the senior class select the winner from the three nominated. The Cav-endish chapter of DAR then awarded Emily the award and $50 prize. This achievement also allows Emily to compete in an upcoming essay writing contest to earn college scholar-ship money.

Among her many high school achievements, Emily has been class President since since ninth grade, is a mem-ber of the student council and was also a captain this fall on the girls’ soccer team. Emily was also inducted into the National Honor Society as a sophomore.

She has performed over 100 hours of community service, including volunteering at the humane society, coordinating a local food drive, painting at the local elementary school and also volunteered as a coach for ‘Girls on the Run,” a program designed to get el-ementary girls more involved in sports, running and fi tness.

Still other community pro-grams in which Ms. Ham-mond is involved include a youth chapter of the Ro-tary Club called Interact, the “World of Difference” peer training program at Black River High School and also serves as a Big Buddy at the local elementary school. She even fi nds the time to be stage manager for several Black River High School drama pro-ductions. Congratulations to Emily for all the achievements throughout her high school career.

LUDLOW — Okemo Mountain resort in Ludlow will hold its’ annual Torchlight Parade, Fireworks Display and Guided Snowshoe Tour on Sunday, Dec. 26, with the torchlight beginning at 6 p.m. and fi reworks after 7 p.m.

Torchlight parades are a tradition as old as skiing itself. The Birkebeiners prob-ably carried torches as they skied over the mountains. Norwegian history credits the Birkebeiners’ bravery with preserving the life of the boy who later became King Haakon Haakonsson IV, ended the civil wars in 1240 and forever changed Northern Europe’s history through his reign.

Watch the torchlight parade consisting of Okemo employees, who ski and snow-board down the mountain creating a spectacular display. “We’ve been doing torch-light parades at Okemo for as long as anyone can remember,” Okemo Public Rela-tions Director Bonnie McPhearson said in a recent interview. “No one remembers why or how it started, we are just happy to keep up the tradition .”

Okemo will also offer free guided snowshoe tours leading up to Okemo’s gala fi reworks display. It’s a great reason to get outdoors and stand shoulder to shoulder Residents will take to the slopes at Okemo Mountain Dec. 26 for the annual Torchlight Parade,

Tribal Savagery

In a sequence of one-step-leads-to-another reading too indi-rect to be worth the column-inches for description here, Iended up with a dog-eared and previous-reader-annotated

copy of “Beyond the Classroom” in hand. It’s one of hundreds ofbooks which target, with greater or lesser success, what is and isn’tgoing on in K-12 public education, a 13-year process which is sup-posed to (and once did) metamorphose illiterate and innumeratelittle savages into civilized and knowledgeable citizens. Withoutreservation (pun intended) I can testify that the 1995 LaurenceSteinberg 223-page effort (the Washington Post called it “an impor-tant book with important truths” so it must be so) the best-I’ve-yet-seen analysis of the Students-Who-Won’t-Learn question, and itmakes its points without charts, tables, or Hindu (“borrowed” bythe Arabs, who then put their name on it) numerology and sym-bols. It’s good, not because, like most books on the SWWL subject,it devotes a lot of ink to the racial achievement pattern –blacks andHispanics worse than Whites, Whites worse than Asians—and tothe parental guidance –or lack thereof—and to the “disengaged-student” question; but because it goes into a subject wherein, un-like other books on the SWWL subject, it devotes a lot of ink to stu-dent-peer-pressure –to pursue or disdain learning—and how it pre-vails, not only in the usual-suspect inner-city schools, but similarlyin suburban and rural schools, and across the entire socio-economicspectrum. If you credit Steinberg with accurate representation ofall the statistical studies he’s run and referenced (but not re-print-ed) then his findings are as applicable to what’s going on in EastOvershoe, VT, Central School as in Harlem, NYC’s PS 7, a 3-out-of-10 quality-scoring school which was never 10-10, and in Boston’shighly-gentrified Longwood neighborhood, Boston Latin School,which once was 10-10 but was pushed from educational grace inthe 1970’s.

Maybe the best summary sentence in Steinberg (p,137) is thisone: “The factor that undermines the positive effect of effectiveparenting in Black homes is the same one that counters the adverseeffect of ineffective parenting in Asian households –the peergroup”. Previously he had reported his research finding that, afterall the usual adjustments for socio-economic status, all racialgroups practice about the same level of authoritative (his label forreally-good) parenting, and in the following chapter he makes thecase that student peer pressure trumps it all because, (p. 141)“…there is a specific period in [adolescent] development roughlyfrom age 12 through 16 when…peers begin to play an enormouslyimportant role in influencing achievement”. On p.146 he writesthat “the prevailing norm in most high schools is to “get by with-out showing off” and there are pockets within each school in whichacademic achievement is admired and others in which it is activelydiscouraged”. Observers of both VT and non-VT schools can’t hon-estly disagree. His italicized p.148 conclusion: “by high school, theinfluence of friends on school performance…is more substantialthan the influences of parents’ practices at home”. He then devotesa modest amount of ink to parental neighborhood selection (mid-dle-class flight, both White and Black, although he doesn’t call itso) as the best way for parents to control the circle of their teens’friends, presumably to install them in a more old-fashioned social

environment like the now-van-ished ones where most of theteens were enthusiastic aboutgetting good grades, and beingpart of the in-group meant inter-nalizing those academic expec-tations.

If you find Steinberg’s re-search findings and conclusionsmore persuasive, you have tofind the current focus on boot-ing out teachers-who-don’t-teach less persuasive. You alsohave to question one of the newthemes in the pre-K argument,the one which says that parent-ing is so poor that, for HeadStart to work successfully, gov-ernment will have to remove the kids for large blocks of non-schooltime from mom or, more rarely, from mom and dad. Under theSteinberg thesis, parental failure to wield books at home doesn’tmatter; getting kids into groups which think an after-school jauntto the town library beats basketball is the key factor. He doesn’tsay where such teen groups are more or less likely to be found, butI’d guess that the odds favor the neighborhood around PS 7 some-what less than the neighborhood around, say, the Chicago-suburbNew Trier High School. Boston Latin is in a separate Brown-v.-Board-and-bussing classification; high-SES neighborhood fromwhich local kids are shipped by their parents to non-neighborhoodschools, and BL itself enrolls mostly bus-ins from elsewhere inBoston. It has a lot of SWWL problems it didn’t have when enroll-ments were local.

Reinforcement for the Steinberg thesis comes from an unexpect-ed and more recent source: Ludwig von Mises Institute writer Gen-nady Stolyarov, who opines (this year) that schools which devoteso much more effort to “school spirit” than to individual achieve-ment are cultivating the worst aspects of little-savage tribalism inthe young: the unwarrantedly high levels of group- and self-esteemwhich say, in effect, “we’re a really great tribe, we don’t do math,and we’re a lot better than those nerds who can”.

If there’s a questionable part, it’s the Steinberg explanation ofhis research finding that Asian students from non-authoritativefamilies do better in school anyway than B’s, W’s, and H’s. His the-ory: they’re the victims of B, W, and H gang rejection-discrimina-tion, and, denied entry into the anti-achievement peer groups, theyhave no choice but to form their own, pro-achievement, ones. Arethe Pacific Coast urban-Asian gangs figments of Hollywood imagi-nation?

Finally, there’s the unasked unanswered question not in Stein-berg’s pages: what can powerful forces like public schools, typical-ly the weightiest institutions in small-town and suburban areas, doto help parents in shaping the mostly pro-achievement adolescentattitudes as were dominant in the good old-fashioned teen peergroups of years gone by? Neither the author nor the academics northe edu-crats have chosen to address that subject.

Weird Al Yankovic built a large career for himselfchanging words of hit songs and re recordingthem. Creating an industry from nothing is im-

pressive, Al’s an extremely talented guy, but when I hearsongs re written using the music and groove of an alreadywell known song, I’m let down, I feel jipped, cause there’snothing easier than punching up someone’s already fullyfleshed out successful idea.

Below I’ll change words to the first couple lines of famil-iar holiday songs and prove the point of how easy it is. If Ican do it, any dolt can.

Once you get started on a theme with the first two lineschanged, the rest comes even easier. So if you’re wanting tocomplete an entire song, it’ll be a cinch. You’ll agree afteryou sing my samples.

*You may not nail the cadence of the original song usingthe new words I wrote, but if you go back over them a timeor two and play with the groove, you’ll find they all workperfectly right on the beat.

With the holi-days ap-proaching,

families have been shop-ping for some informationin regard to buying safetoys for their children thisyear. Well, fortunately Ihave a direct line to Santawho is the expert when itcomes to safe toys, and hewanted me to share withyou the following informa-tion:

1. Please read the labelsbefore buying any toy tolearn about what ages the toy is safe for, how to use it,whether adult supervision is recommended for assembly oruse, and to make sure toxins or chemicals have not been usedin making the toy.

2. Think big when it comes to buying a toy – I mean big-ger than your child's mouth so as to prevent choking. Checklabels to make sure there are no small parts that can be chok-ing hazards.

3. Avoid toys that shoot small objects into the air to avoidchoking or eye injuries (they do occur) and avoid toys thatmake loud or shrill noises that can damage their hearing.

4. Make sure the toy is sturdy by checking that parts aresewn on well and that seams and edges are secure. Make surestuffed toys are flame resistant or flame retardant and wash-able.

5. Crib toys should not have strings or wires longer than12 inches that a child can strangle or choke on.

So after all that, what kind of toy should you get? Choosetoys that are based on the developmental level of your child- toys that their physical and mental abilities will allow themto use appropriately. Your pediatrician can make sugges-

tions specific to theage and develop-mental level of yourchild. All you have todo is ask. And don’tforget that booksmake great gifts forchildren (and adults)of all ages.

If you have anyconcerns about a toy,check the ConsumerProduct Safety Com-mission web sitewww.cpsc.gov to seeif it has a problem orhas been recalled.

Hopefully, tipslike this will wrap-up any concerns youhave when it comesto giving your childthe gift of a safe toy.

At Any Cost?

In his determination to close Vermont Yankee, Gover-nor-elect Shumlin made his newplans for the future of our Green

Mountains clear. In eight weeks Shum-lin's administration will designate fourregions in Vermont to be aggressively de-veloped for large scale industrial windprojects.

What a change from Governor Dou-glas.

In Sheffield, our community has already experienced thecosts of this unpopular debate.

Our village has been crippled by division, falling real es-tate values, lack of permanent employment, blasting andbulldozing, and when the project is fully developed, mostlikely, our health.

The Shumlin administration is showing a lack of foresightand traditional Vermont values – values that have protectedthese ridgelines for more than a century. The cost of this planis great – the costs to Vermonter's health, future renewablechoices, and future business development is immeasurable.

Vermonters are the conscience of thisgreat state. We are deeply and justifiablyattached to our surrounding landscape.This landscape gives us a sense of time– something more permanent than weourselves are – something that was notcreated by us and must be protected.

Let us hope the new legislature willshow more restraint and foresight than the incoming Gov-ernor has. Take the time to evaluate what this will cost ourstate in the long run.

There are much better ways to create a renewable future.

A renewable future?

All around the cobbler’s benchBy Lou Varricchio

[email protected]

If you’re lucky enough to own a pair of Dan Freeman’s cus-tom, handmade leather shoes or boots—I happen to own apair of Freeman’s classic Mediterranean-style sandals—thenyou are a member of an elite, and growing, group of folkswith extremely happy feet.

When you walk out of Dan Freeman’s Leatherworks indowntown Middlebury with a pair of custom shoes, you’llknow what it means to wear the best-made set of soles inVermont.

Freeman uses top-quality materials and performs all cus-tomized fittings himself. And unlike cookie-cutter shoe out-lets in cookie-cutter shopping malls, the Middlebury crafts-man will service your purchase over it’s long lifespan.

While the old cobbler ’s trade may be extinct elsewhere,Freeman’s customer friendly manner and passion for histrade are keeping this old fashioned skill alive in AddisonCounty, Vt. We hope he’s found an apprentice or two to helpspread the faith far and wide.

Recently, Freeman was guest lecturer at the Shelden Mu-seum of Vermont History. At a small afternoon gathering, hediscussed the fascinating world of shoemaking, especially asit was in the 1800s. Freeman displayed an historian’s knowl-edge of his trade’s evolution. He even revealed who madethe shoes, who wore them, and how they were made, in 19thcentury Vermont.

Selected shoes, boots and slippers from the museum’s col-lection, as well as lasts and tools used to make shoes fromthe same era, were on display during Freman’s presenta-tion.

Freeman began his unusual career in 1970 when he spenta year as an apprentice in a sandal shop in North Carolina.He then spent five years working in a leather shop on MainStreet in Middlebury.

In 1976 Freeman spent two years working in New Orleans,La., for a shoemaker there. He moved back to Vermont in1986 when he opened his current leatherworks shop in Mid-dlebury.

In a world of cheap, imported shoes, Freeman’s tradition-al cobbler skills are all the more valuable to retain.

POULTNEY — The Poult-ney Theatre Company willpresent Scrooge & Company,a dramatic reading ofCharles Dickens’ “A Christ-mas Carol.” Productionshows are Saturday, Dec. 18,at the Slate Valley Museumin Granville, and Sunday,Dec. 19, in the cozy setting ofthe Poultney High School li-

brary. All performances areat 2 p.m., and admission isfree.

Gary Meitrott who hasconceived and directed thisenduring Dickens’ master-piece with authentic phras-ing said, “Our adaptation isthe essence of Dickens’, andwe hold to the original feel-ing.”

He said, “A dramatic read-ing is not just reading from ascript but the elements of

theatrical gesture and move-ment that adds humor andexcitement to the reading.The characters are broughtto life with the interactionand emotional clarity thatyou would find on stage.”

“Theatrical reading uses a‘reader ’s theater style’where the actors relate toeach other not on stage butbetween themselves and theaudience as if they were thecharacters.”

The key local actors areBill Cruikshank, BurnhamHolmes, Danielle Houston,David Mook, and AnnaWhooley.

Donations are welcomeand proceeds from thePoultney performance willbe used to establish the DickWright Fund in support ofthe drama program at Poult-ney High School.

“Dick Wright was a castmember during the inaugu-ral production in 2003. Hewas in every production ofShakespeare on Main Street,and ‘A Christmas Carol’ un-til his death in 2007,” saidKitty Galante, board mem-ber of The Poultney TheatreCompany. “Dick was thefirst president of our board .He was an extremely popu-lar member of the cast andPoultney community.”

Meitrott added, “Dick’senthusiasm and interest inaction grew from a smallpart to his last production.He absolutely loved acting,every minute of it!”

“In rehearsing the produc-tion, it always truly puts mein the mood for Christmas.The actors and I are in fits oflaughter and touched to theheart,” said Meitrott.

Special thanks for their as-sistance with this year ’spresentation of “A Christ-mas Carol” go to ChristineRose, Kathryn Weller, andTom Fitzgerald.

Poultney Theatre Company presents ‘A Christmas Carol’

Vermont’s oldest campgroundBy Lou Varricchio

[email protected]

Jamaica State Park may be the oldest campground in Ver-mont—literally. It’s a campground that has been hosting Ver-monters for more than 6,000 years.

While digging test pits for a new waste water system inthe state park last month, workers accidentally dredged up70-80 ancient artifacts near the park’s popular Salmon Holesite.

After a state archeologist examined the stone tools, workon the waste water project was halted. A full blown archae-ological dig occured at the park in the summer.

“The University of Vermont Consulting Archaeology Pro-gram is excavating portions of a Native American campsiteon weekdays through Aug. 20,” according to Rochelle Skin-ner, parks manager. “This work represents the first system-atic excavation of this well know, but poorly understood site,and is being carried out in advance of much needed park fa-cility upgrades.”

Jamaica State Park, comprising 772 acres, was first openedto the public in 1969. Pre-park visitors to the site reportedfinding artifacts over the years, but nothing as significant aslast month’s discovery was ever made public.

Similar paleo-Indian artifacts were found in RutlandTown near Post Road earlier this summer, across fromThomas Dairy. The 16 arrowheads unearthed were dated be-tween 7,000 and 5,000 B.C. and probably aren’t as old as thestate park artifacts. The Rutland County artifacts were un-covered during a routine Vermont Division for HistoricPreservation dig in preparation for a future developmentsite.

“Beneath Jamaica State Park lie the remains of numerousancient Native American camp sites dating back at least6,000 years,” said Skinner.

Skinner said the public is encouraged to visit the dig whileit is underway, ask questions, help wash newly discoveredartifacts and learn about the park's Native American histo-ry.

with your neighbors as a ribbon of light finds its way down the slope. It’s quite a spectacleand well worth the effort. The Sitting Bull also offers refuge from the cold and the spiritsto keep the socializing going long after the torches are extinguished.

“There’s a great connection to skiing tradition associated with torchlight parades,” McP-hearson added. “There is a wonderful revelry for the participants that is contagious forspectators. The winter nights are long and we need to make the most of living in a north-ern climate where skiing and snow sports are such an important part of our culture.”

For the snowshoe tour, participants meet inside the Okemo Express Rental Shop (locat-ed at main base) at 6 p.m. to be fitted for snowshoes. Tours will depart the Okemo base areabeside South Ridge Quad A at 7 p.m. and head up on the Bull Run rail to watch the fire-works. For more information call 228-4041 or visit their Web site at www.okemo.com.

As another winter sportsseason gets under way, let'stake a look around the Mar-ble Valley League hardwoodas our local high schoolsgear up for another hoopseason and a shot at headingto Barre for a state title run.

Rutland High School In Rutland, the Raiders

boys' basketball team comes into the season with a lot oftalent, and hopes of ending a 43-year championshipdrought. Head coach Mike Wood has the talent to make arun despite the early season absence of perhaps his bestshooter in Troy Devine. Devine suffered a knee injury dur-ing the playoffs last year, but is expected back soon.

The Raiders will also heavily rely on the versatile MikeTriller and center Alex Snyder, who plans on taking up a lotof space under the basket. Several sophomores also got sig-nificant playing time last season, led by now junior Tre Hy-sell, which should go a long way towards the maturation ofthis team as the new season arrives. Others looking to cre-ate an impact include senior Scott Therrault and juniorDanny Hogenkamp.

The Rutland High girls' squad it appears, will be goingthrough some growing pains this season after losing eightplayers from last year, including three starters. Therefore,several players are going to get their chance to shine,which also means coach Tom Geisler will have his eyeswide open to determine where playing time will fall.

Meghan Ballard and Alyssa Moore return from last years'starting lineup and have spots solidified in the startingfront court. However, after losing his starting center andpoint guard, coach Geisler will let the play on the floor de-termine other contributions.The Lady Raiders will certainlyhave to gel on the fly, as they prepare for their seasonopener against Rice on Dec. 14.

------------------------

Mount St. Joseph This could be a very interesting season for the Mount St.

Joseph boys' hoop team under second year coach MarkBenetatos. Despite only returning two players from lastyear's team, brings in four new players from New York in-cluding Shannon Murray, Rob Cassell, Johnathan Mitchelland 6-foot-4 power forward Jaskin Melendez. MSJ will alsolook to returning sophomore Matt Sanborn, who is looking

to grab the starting point guard spot. However, the exciting aspect of this team could end up

being three incoming freshman - David Perry, Tyler Ackleyand Zack Lanzill - who average 6-foot-4. In Division III,this will give the Mounties a decisive height advantageagainst most. However, these kids are freshman, thereforecoach Benetatos will need his more experienced players toshow leadership in helping these young players along.

The Lady Mounties will look to senior tri-captainsChristy Ojala, Brianna Patton and Ashley Bathalon as theleaders of an otherwise young team, with junior KaitinGawet also being looked upon for her experience andtoughness. Sophomore 6-footers Megan Blais and AlexReedy ad height and depth, while up-and-coming freshmanGwen Breslin can handle the ball and could work into apoint guard role.

Coach Watson has also brought in ex-MSJ player KateDale as an assistant coach, who connects with the playerswell and adds an aspect of discipline that should help thisteam gel and understand the importance of teamwork.

----------------------------

West Rutland High School Golden Horde coach Mike Lufkin is setting high expecta-

tions for his team this season and with good reason, as hereturns four key seniors and a bench that goes nine deep,which is nearly the opposite from last season's scenario.

With at least three players over 6-feet in Adam Garcia,Nick Anagnos and Emmitt Ackerman, Brian Harvey and

Craig Duprey will also lookto create an impact. Thisteam should also be athleticenough to bang the boardsfor second-chance opportu-nities. Defensive reboundingand good defense will cer-tainly be important to createsome transition baskets.

In the season home-open-er against Cabot, the Hordegot 15 points from Adamsand 11 from Ackerman in a45-16 win over Cabot. West-side played stifling defenseinside which allowed themto get their transition gamein full gear.

The West Rutland girls'team is coming off about asgood a season as you can

get, after winning the Division IV state championship lastseason. Despite losing eight players to graduation andbringing in some eight freshman, head coach Carl Seranistill has some experience left from the title team with Heidiand Holly Burns, Caroline Woods, Amanda Harte, JohannaLee, Sam Lacz, Morgan Raiche and Mikayla Dambrackus.

With so many new faces looking to make contributions,though, this could indeed be a very challenging season forthe Lady Horde, but challenges are created to be met andthis team has enough experience from last year to continuethat winning momentum.

The Westside girls' opened their season with a convinc-ing 50-28 win over Cabot. The freshman Dambrackus ledthe way with 10 points, while Lacz and Raiche pitched inwith nine and seven points respectively.

--------------------------

Proctor High School The Proctor boys' hoop team is coming off another im-

pressive season that saw them fall one win shy of a statechampionship. However, this team will have a little differ-ent look under coach Dick Wilcox, after losing three of hisfive starts to graduation. A fourth starter, Justin Carter, isalso out because of a knee injury.

But the Phantoms do bring back Austin Howard, MattDobart and Nate Salgo, all of whom bring experience andleadership to the floor and can help the younger playersgrow into their roles. Salgo is a scorer who missed last sea-son because of injury and Howard is a big kid who will becounted on to carve out some space in the paint.

Proctor will also need to get some production from theirbench, which consists of younger players, therefore coachWilcox will be evaluating early on as to which of theseplayers will step up and play a key role.

The Lady Phantoms are coming off a transition year inwhich they started no seniors, and have not a single senioron this season's roster. However, seven juniors and sopho-mores who make up the core of this group, all received alot of valuable playing time which allowed them to learn agreat deal heading into season.

They may be young, but these kids are athletic and fast,led by Mikayla Tanner, Megan Carter and Mikayla McCor-mack. They will need to utilize said speed and get out intransition as to create easy baskets. They also do not pos-sess a lot of size, therefore playing aggressive defense and

boxing out underneath the boards will be essential totheir success.

In the season opener at Leland & Gray, the Phantoms losta heart-breaker in overtime, 48-37. Trailing by 10 at half-time, Proctor fought back to force overtime, before beingoutscored 13-2 in the OT. Mikayla McCormack led the waywith 13 points while Mikayla Turner pitched in with nine.

--------------------------

Black River High School In Ludlow, the Black River boys' basketball team is com-

ing off a strange year in which they literally had no season.A couple injuries, a couple ineligibility issues and overallvery low numbers simply made it too tough to try and nav-igate through a season. Needless to say, a big disappoint-ment for the players most of all.

However, the Presidents are back and ready to re-groupunder new coach Bob Joy, a Westminster resident whose fa-ther (Bob Joy) was a longtime and well respected youthcoach in the area. Overall, the numbers have not improveda great deal simply because of the size of the school, butcoach Joy likes what he sees so far.

The Lady Presidents are also coming off a rough seasonthat saw them win not a single game. However, this sportswriter witnessed a couple of those losses and to their cred-it, coach Peter Collins' players always played hard andmore importantly , never put their heads down. Some ofthat persistence and sense of fair play should go a longway in helping the team grow from here.

However the Lady Presidents will only have nine play-ers, three of which return from last year's squad, therefore,there better be in good shape and they will have to stayaway from any major injury issues.

-------------------------

Otter Valley High School In Brandon, the Otter Valley High School boys' hoop

squad is looking to build upon just a six-win season lastyear, and will have to do it without a lot of experiencecoming back. Second year coach Nathan Bellomo will,however, look to his two returning seniors BrianRademacher and Rob Kelley for leadership on the court, aswell as returning players Nathan Fitzgerald, ChrisCinonette and Kevin Lefebvre.

Because the Otters will be relatively smaller than in re-cent years, this team will have to really work hard at bothends of the floor and especially on defense. The fundamen-tals such as boxing out under the boards will be essential.

The Lady Otters hoop team also brings in a lot of newfaces, with only three players returning from last year'sroster. Coach Ray Counter does possess four seniors head-ing into the season, but only one, Kristy Pinkham, has sig-nificant varsity experience.

Finding a way to develop chemistry quickly will be thebiggest obstacle for this team, simply because they havenot spent a lot of time on the court together. If they canfind themselves early on, they could be poised for a run inthe second half of the season if they can define roles quick-ly.

Coach Counter will also look to the likes of Kelsey Pol-jacik, Brittany Bushey, Jessica Frasier, Olivia Bloomer, Jor-dan Mitchell and Taylor Aines, most of whom are fresh-man, to get significant minutes and valuable experience asthe season moves along.
