MIDDLEBURY — “It seems like we opened just yesterday,” says Town Hall Theater executive director Douglas Anderson. “It’s come as a shock to all of us that we’ve been at this for 5 years. I guess time passes when you’re having fun.”
MIDDLEBURY — In recognition of Dairy Month, Roger Allbee, former Vermont secretary of agriculture, will present a talk on the history of dairy in Vermont on Friday, June 14, at 6:30 p.m. at the Sheldon Museum in Middlebury. The talk is presented in conjunction with the Sheldon’s current exhibit “From Dairy to Doorstep,” a partnership with Historic New England. Admission is free but donations are welcome.
ADDISON — At the Chimney Point State Historic Site in Addison, site interpreter Karl Crannell on Saturday, June 15, will offer the first of three hands-on monthly third Saturday programs, “Blast from the Past: How They Made It in New France.” The program runs between 1:30 and 3:30 p.m. June’s program looks at the French soldiers who served at the French fort at Chimney Point in the 1730s and their clothing.
WOODSTOCK — Mount Abraham Union High School senior Jona Scott earned Division II and overall medalist honors at the state championship meet at the Woodstock Country Club this past Wednesday by firing a 69, but his Eagle team fell one stroke short of a D-II team championship.
MIDDLEBURY —The No. 2 Middlebury Union High School girls’ lacrosse team on Friday scored four times in the final 4:16 of the first half on the way to a rain-soaked, 14-7 Division I quarterfinal victory over No. 7 Mount Mansfield.
The Tigers will be seeking yet another berth in a D-I final when they host No. 3 Mount Anthony (13-6) on Tuesday at 4 p.m., with two-time defending champion South Burlington almost certainly awaiting the winner at Castleton State College on Friday. The 14-0 Rebels will host No. 4 Brattleboro (9-7) in Tuesday’s other semifinal.
VERGENNES — As a few rays of sunlight fought through Saturday afternoon’s ominous clouds, the Vergennes Union High School baseball team fought to hold off elimination, rallying from a 5-0 hole against visiting Missisquoi. But just as the sun faded behind the clouds, so did the Commodores’ rally, and their season.
In their quarterfinal match-up with the No. 5 Thunderbirds, the fourth-seeded Commodores fell 6-4, ending their bid to repeat as champions of Division II vs. the team they defeated in the 2012 final.
BRANDON — A school could get used to this: Otter Valley Union High School pitcher Brett Patterson threw a one-hitter in the No. 2 Otters’ 6-0 win over visiting No. 7 Lake Region in a Division II quarterfinals on Thursday.
A model of efficiency, Patterson threw just 67 pitches, struck out nine and walked none in just an hour and 20 minutes to send Lake Region packing. And the senior hurler and co-ace Justin Owen have been consistently on their pitching all season, helping the Otters to a 17-1 record.
