Southwestern Vermont Medical Center
Implements Fiscal Recovery Program
BENNINGTON,
VT
– The Board of Trustees,
CEO Dr. Mark Novotny
and senior management
of Southwestern Vermont
Medical Center (SVMC)
have formulated a comprehensive plan to jumpstart the hospital’s return
WR ¿QDQFLDO KHDOWK 7KH
program is the result of a
measured, comprehensive
review of the hospital’s
management
practices
and operations.
“SVMC is projecting a 2009 operating loss
VLJQL¿FDQWO\ KLJKHU WKDQ
management’s initial $1.3
million projection,” said
Dr. Novotny. “Over the
past few weeks, it has
become clear that major
changes to hospital operations are needed. SVMC’s
RYHUDOO¿QDQFLDOFRQGLWLRQ
remains fundamentally
sound. However, we must
adapt to a continually
changing environment so
that we may continue to
provide the high-quality
health care services our
community deserves and
our mission requires.”
The program announced today to hospital
staff contains cost-saving
measures that include a
reduction in force of approximately 60 employ-
ees and reduced work
hours for about 30 additional staff. A total of
18 currently vacant posiWLRQV ZLOO QRW EH ¿OOHG
The reductions occurred
throughout the hospital.
In addition, last week
SVMC reduced its senior
management team by 25
percent.
“We are very grateful for the services of all
these employees,” Novotny said. “And we wish
them well in their future
endeavors.”
The hospital is providing transition services

sistance, COBRA reimbursement for medical
and dental expenses, access to the Employee Assistance Program, and assistance with résumés.
“The decision to reGXFH VWDI¿QJ ZDV H[
WUHPHO\ GLI¿FXOW %XW LW
was necessary to bring
the hospital’s operating
budget into balance,” explained Dr. Richard Guerrero, chair of the Southwestern Vermont Health
Care Board of Trustees,
in a statement to staff. He
noted that the hospital had
implemented a number of
cost-saving measures over
the past few months in a
concerted effort to prevent a broader workforce
reduction, including:
• a freeze on planned
capital projects
• the elimination of incentive compensation for
senior management
• a reduction in sick and
vacation time accrual for
management and staff
• the elimination of most
conferences and travel
and cancellation of several internal events
• a renegotiation of contracts and a reduction in
program expenses and
equipment.
SVMC is one of many

SVMC has already adopted.
A comprehensive, midyear audit currently being

In his suit, Ingram cited the fact that during the

facility had been continuously served by two curb
cuts along West Main Street and the longstanding
IGA business sign. The suit claims the elimination
of the main entrance curb cut will adversely impact

Many people will choose

ignored Jesus Christ despite the signs which He

were also foretold.
The stage is also being

the secular humanists, the

busy preparing for his arrival.
However, there are other
preparations being made.
Jesus Christ is getting
ready to come back for
His Church, the true believers that have accepted
Him as their personal
Lord and Savior. There
are many people, who call
themselves Christians who
are in for a big surprise.
People who think that going to church on Sunday is

on Sunday doesn’t make

than going to McDonald’s

The signs of the Lord’s
imminent return are all
around us and if you are
not sure where you stand
regarding salvation take a
few moments right now to
dwell on the fact that Jesus
has already paid for your
sins. All that is needed is
for you to invite Jesus into
your life and give Him
your heart. He will do the
rest. Alleluia!

To the Editor:
It should be noted that in
these tough economic times,
our Cambridge Teachers Association recently “stepped
up” to help their District
and their fellow workers.
Last month, as we were
struggling to cut nearly
$500,000 from our school
budget, they agreed to open
their contract to offer cuts in
the pay that they would receive next year for coaching
athletic teams, supervising
clubs and working as chaperones. These pay cuts cou-
SOHGZLWKDUHGXFWLRQLQ¿HOG
trips, amounted to $68,000.
Last week, a reporter from
the New York Times called
me to ask about our teachers’ action. She informed
me that only seven teacher
groups in the entire state of
New York had offered any
kind of “give back” and

Seat Belt Law
To the Editor:
Having been recently
pulled over and ticketed by
a state trooper for not wearing a seatbelt, I feel the need
to share with you an idea
that may not be politically
popular, or feasible: it’s time
to pressure our lawmakers
into working to repeal New
York’s seatbelt law. I realize
that sounds outlandish and
probably will never happen.
And I certainly understand
the arguments for not repealing it.
We’re constantly bombarded with messages from
the government telling us
“buckling up” saves lives.
That is no doubt true. But
shouldn’t New Yorkers and
all Americans for that matter, be responsible for their
own safety? If I am injured
in a crash as a result of not
wearing my seatbelt, aside
from myself and my family,
who else suffers? Is society
any less safe?
If authorities really care
about the public’s safety
they would more strictly
enforce posted speed limits.
Federal and state statistics
clearly indicate that excessive speed is the cause of
far many more casualties
on our roadways than not
wearing a seatbelt or talking
on a cell phone. Take a trip
on any major highway or
thoroughfare and travel the
posted speed limit, or below the actual limit, as one

RIWUDI¿F
Men formed governments in order to safeguard
our constitutional freedoms:
namely the right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In its proper function
government’s job is to protect us from foreign attack
and to maintain the civil
order. In nanny state America however, government is
more interested in protecting us from ourselves. It
does this through restrictive
laws and regulations.
You can bet that a state
government that is now facing a projected three-year,
ELOOLRQGROODUGH¿FLWGXH
to its reckless spending, will
be looking for money any
way it is able to get it. Don’t
expect any friendly warnings from the next police
RI¿FHUZKRSXOOV\RXRYHU
Leviathan is hungry.
Let’s face it, the seatbelt
law isn’t really about saving
lives - it’s about raising revenue for a state that is more
interested in eviscerating
our liberties than it is in protecting us.

To the Editor:
I have lived in the Village of Cambridge since 1993
and continue to be in awe of our citizens who contribute so much to the quality of life in this area. Recently
my wife suffered a back injury and required a wheelchair for a short time. Within 24 hours of talking
about our need with Scott Smith, an active member of
the Suns of the American Legion, we found a wheel
chair on our front porch. Scott Smith and the Sons of
the American Legion are among the many volunteers
in this area who give freely of themselves to serve
their community. We are all indeed quite fortunate to
live here.

Decentralized
Waste Water Grant
Former Mayor DeDe

board to discuss a grant
opportunity that has come
up for a decentralized
waste water system. Nash
told the group that one of
the buildings in the Restore NY grant application was the old bowling
alley behind the Hotel.
She stated that the building would make a great
banquet facility but would
need serious upgrades to
its waste water system. A
grant funded by the Environmental Facilities Corporation may be available
to create a waste water

the old bowling alley and a
number of businesses and
other structures around
it. A number of business
owners in the area have
pledged funds towards
a feasibility study that
would look at whether it is
possible to create the system. The Restore NY grant
was written to include the
10% match in funding that
the Village would have to
come up with should the
water system grant be
awarded. Nash stated that
some of the buildings and
businesses that would be
positively affected by such
a system are the former
Agway, former Washington County Press, current
¿UHKRXVH&DPEULGJH+Rtel, Rice Mansion Inn, and
VARAK Park. Nash told
the board that the study
would cost around $2000
and that she already had
some money pledged by
the businesses. Nash obligated that the rest of the
money would be raised
and the study would be of
no cost to the Village unless they wanted to contribute. The Village agreed
to spend $300 towards the

out, and if he were asked
to complete the work as
it was put out to bid it

• Police Chief George
Bell brought up his concerns with the road closure request by the Cambridge Historical Society.
The group asked to close
a portion of Broad Street
in front of their property in order to hold their
concert series in front of
their building. Bell and
the board were concerned
for a number of reasons
including the number of
elderly patrons that may
be sitting in the street and
unable to move quickly in
the case of an emergency.
The board agreed that
more information was
needed from the Historical Society and granted
Mayor Spiezio authorization to decide on the May
concert street closure
himself. The topic will
appear on the June agenda
to discuss the remaining
dates and any information
received by then.
• The Avenue B Park/

Board met last Wednesday
for its monthly meeting
and voted unanimously to
make a $500 donation to
the Lake Lauderdale Park
facility.
Councilman Mike Nolan
said the park, which is in
Jackson, is a gem and
needs to be supported
and suggested a donation
of $1000. Supervisor
Alan Brown said the four
local towns (Cambridge,
Jackson, Salem and White
Creek) are all being asked
to assist with the funding
in order to increase the 49
days now planned for the
park to be open. Brown
said Jackson residents are
probably using the park at
a higher percentage than
other towns.

of aiding the park fund
and echoed Nolan’s
suggestion that a $1000

side would compromise
he voted in favor of the

Town Board a presentation about her fall trip to
Long Island where she
visited farms and learned
about the farmland protection program the Peconic
Bay Community Preservation Fund put into place
in 1998.
Sheridan said the Peconic Bay group is made

towns who formed the
preservation fund because
so much open space and
farmland had been overtaken by development.
The group had a 2% tax
placed on real estate sales
and the funds raised from
the tax went to the towns
to purchase development
rights from landowners.
By purchasing the development rights the towns
were ensuring open space
and farmland would remain.
Sheridan said that a
reality of selling the development rights is the
decreased market value
of the land but this also
means lower property
taxes for the landowners who sell their development rights. Sheridan
explained the easements
as a voluntary agreement
between willing landowners and the conservation
group.
Sheridan said she has
read newspaper articles
and editorials about the
impending development
explosion that is knocking
on the door of Washington
County. She said if local

inevitable development
“something will be ruined.” She said she hoped
people would be willing
to work together and be
able to agree to disagree
about some of the issues.
Sheridan said she could
recall when Clifton Park
still had a lot of farms
and open space and she
hoped something could be
done to keep Washington
County from looking like
Clifton Park.
School Budget
Superintendent Dan Severson attended the meeting to present an overview
of the school’s budget
that will be voted on next
Tuesday at the school’s
bus garage from noon to
9 p.m.
Severson said the district was able to make cuts
totaling $490,000 for a total budget of $17,592,071.
He said the budget contains a 0% tax levy. He
said that even without
the cuts the district would
have been in good shape
for this year but they were
looking ahead three years
and knew changes had to
be made now in order to
maintain a minimal impact on the district when
the 2011-12 budget came
around.
Severson also said there
is a bus proposition on
the ballot asking voters
to spend $229,321.54 on
two new buses and two
eight-passenger vans. He
said the district in spending more money to keep
older buses on the road
and passing state mandated inspections. He
stressed that 90% of the
$229,321.54 is guaranteed to be reimbursed by
the state if voters approve
the bus proposition. He
also said the vans would
be good for the district
because it would allow
appropriately credentialed
teachers and coaches to
drive students to events
without having to use a
bus driver.
Severson compared
the budget to the nearby
Greenwich School District and said Greenwich
is a school of near identical size to Cambridge
but they are spending
$2,000,000 more at an
average of about $16,000
per student. Severson said
Cambridge spends approximately $14,000 per
student and was recently
ranked number four on
a list of Capital District
schools for their academic
results.
In other business the
board:
• Supervisor Bob Shay
brought up for discussion the possibility of
donating $1500 for Lake
Lauderdale. The board
was hesitant to agree to
make a donation because
they felt it obligate them
to make similar donations each year. The board
said before making a decision they would like
to talk with the other loFDO WRZQV WR ¿QG RXW LI
they will also be making
donations. Councilman
Jim Perry also stated the
board should not make a
decision until the county
decides to charge a perperson fee instead of a
small per-carload fee to
enter the lake.
• Shay informed the board
that he had been in contact
with residents about complaints he had received
about outdoor furnaces.
He said he told the owners
of the furnace they should
not be burning trash in the
furnaces and that taller
stacks should be placed
on the furnaces. He said
the county and ENCON
had also been contacted.

Cambridge Residents Complain about
Agri-Cycle’s New Composting Contract
By Ashleigh Farrell
CAMBRIDGE – In what
is likely to become another heated topic of discussion at Town of Cambridge board meetings,
CTI Agri-Cycle, will be
composting waste from
the Empire State Plaza.
The New York State Of¿FH RI *HQHUDO 6HUYLFHV
has awarded the composting company, located on
Belle Road, a contract to
compost the waste. A press
release on the contract
from the OGS provides
that “cafeteria waste, including food and biodegradable cups, plates,
utensils and trays generated by Empire State Plaza
visitors, state employees
and food service workers,
will now be turned into
compost” as part of Governor Paterson’s “commitment to sustainable
operations”. Once the
waste, that is likely to include food scraps, dining
room waste, uneaten food
and paper products, is collected and sorted it will
be “transported by Waste
Management,
Inc…to
CTI Agri-Cycle LLC”
This
development
was brought up by Gerald Skiff, just one of the
many concerned residents
at the Town of Cambridge meeting Monday
night. Skiff stated that
he was surprised nobody
on the board knew of the
contract, to which Town
Councilman Ted Berndt
asked if Skiff thought they
were psychic. Skiff asked
when the board was going to start keeping track
of the company. Berndt
told him that the last time
residents complained, the
DEC was at the site the
next day. Another resident, Beaver Watkins statHG WKDW WKH '(& RI¿FLDOV
only ever check the mix
site and that if they looked
DWVRPHRIWKH¿HOGVWKHUH
is six feet of “sludge” on
top of them.
As an aside, during the
height of the trash burn
plant controversy in the
late 1980’s Washington
County implemented a
ÀRZ FRQWURO SODQ UHJDUGing the importation of
solid waste from outside
the County. In an interview with County Attorney Roger Wickes on
Tuesday he stated that
without reading the entire
release from the State of
New York it appeared that
the waste stream detailed
would be in compliance
with the original law.
He added that since its
implementation many of
WKHÀRZFRQWUROHOHPHQWV
have been blown out of
the water through various
court decisions. Wickes
said that Washington
County is developing a
new solid waste plan to be
presented to the Board of
Supervisors sometime in
the future.
Assessment Changes
Angering Residents
The Town’s newly appointed Assessor is beginning to create quite a stir
among residents as she atWHPSWVWR¿[VRPHRIWKH
many problems she has
found in property assessments.
At last months meeting
Mary-Ellen Hill-Pierce
explained that she had
found numerous issues
with agricultural land exemptions being granted
on woodland acreage and
with silos that had been
granted exemptions but
never assessed.
A number of the residents at the meeting, including Town Councilman Frank Ziehm will see
an increase in taxes due
to the large changes in assessments.
Dan Smitt, a resident
told the board that this
Assessor was trying to
undo mistakes made by
the previous assessor to
¿[ PLVWDNHV PDGH SUHYLous to that. He stated that
a couple of years ago the
Assessors had their methodology while doing the
re-evaluation
knowing
that it was wrong but did
it their way nonetheless.
He said with the current
Assessor, their worst land
is being assessed at the
highest values, he said
this is land that was kept
as woodlands because it
would be too dangerous
to farm.
Smitt blamed much of
the issue on the way property taxes are required to
be assessed but also stated
a need for a comprehenVLYH ¿[ WR EH GHWHUPLQHG
rather than the “a la carte”
method that is being used
at this time.
Watkins told the board
that currently Hill-Pierce
has handed out 186 assessment adjustments and
that is only for agricultural and silo exemption
changes alone. He said
the board needs to prepare
themselves for when the
rest of the residents receive theirs.
Resident Cassie Fedler
asked who checks up on
the work done by the Assessor. Town Supervisor
JoAnn Trinkle told her
that was the job of the
5HDO 3URSHUW\ 2I¿FH DW
the County level. Smitt
suggested that the town
board lend her some direction in this undertaking
as the system is antiquated
and corrupted.
A number of the farmers complained that their
silos which are no longer
in use have been assessed
at new or more than new
prices. Jim Buckley stated
that the silo exemption
being removed added
$52,900 to his assessment
\HW WKH VLORV DUH ÀDW RQ
the ground. Henry Peabody said his silos were
assessed at $30,000 even
though he only has one left
and that is more than they
cost new. Fedler told the
board that the town is not
prepared for these changes and that they need to be
ahead of them before the
FLWL]HQVDUH¿UHGXS
Smitt told the board that
this is an opportunity for
them to talk to Hill-Pierce
about being an advocate
for the town instead of a
protagonist, and that she
is getting off on the wrong
foot.
In Other News
• The board heard a presentation from Superintendent Dan Severson
about the school budget
and bus proposition that
will be voted on later
this month. Severson answered a number of questions about the buses and
possible consolidation efforts between school districts.
• The board passed Local Law #2 which moved

Residents Suggest Town Create Dog Park
Work on Caretaker’s Bridge Should Begin July 15
By John Nevins
HOOSICK FALLS – The
Monday night Town
Board meeting was for
WKH GRJV 7KH ¿UVW FRP
ments from the public
included a suggestion to
create a Dog Park. Supervisor Marilyn Douglas
directed the Town Attorney to explore the liability concerning this issue
and that interested parWLHVZRXOGQHHGWR¿QGDQ
appropriate location for
such a park.
Keeping with the dogs
was an inquiry into the
status of the investigation
into allegations that the
Town’s Dog Control Of¿FHUKDGYLRODWHGWKHODZ
Supervisor Douglas stated that the Town is waiting for a report back from
a state agency about this
matter. When pressed she
said the agency is the NY
State Police. When a second member of the public
again brought up this issue Douglas repeated that
the Board does not speak
about personnel at public
meetings. She also sought
to reassure the public that
the Board is not taking
this matter lightly.
On a positive note,
Douglas did note that
dog registrations are up
in the Town since this has
become such an issue of
contention. She reiterated
the importance of having dogs licensed and recounted the recent spending of up to $250 of Town
money on an injured animal in the town that was
unlicensed.
Caretaker’s Bridge
Superintendent
of
Highway’s Bill Shiland
reported that the Caretaker’s Bridge over the
Walloomsac is moving
ahead. The plans are currently in the hands of the
state and if all goes as
planned work will start
around July 15, 2009 and

of this year. This new
bridge will be rated for
80,000 pounds, which
is more than any of the
Town vehicles when fully
loaded.
The steel bridge will be
paid for by State and Federal funds but if the Town
still wants to have a covered bridge in place that
will have to be funded locally.
Councilman Surdam
questioned the rationale
behind the covered bridge
idea and thought this was
no longer part of the discussion.
Shiland informed him
that it was part of the bidGLQJSURFHVVDQGQR¿QDO
decisions can be made
before the estimates are
submitted.
In other good news Supervisor Shiland reported
that FEMA will be reimbursing the Town for
the ice storms in December of 2008. The Town
spent over $96,000 and is
scheduled to receive reimbursement of 87.5% of

Devotional Poetry
By Pat Kelley
A Heavenly Dream
Last night in a dream, I visited Heaven and saw amazing beauty there.
Our Father was sitting on His throne, in a Golden Chair.
Jesus was sitting beside Him and angels were gathered at His feet,
There was abundant sunshine ripening the fruit so it will be ready to eat.
There was a beautiful blue sky, and the streets were paved in gold,
Many of our loved ones were walking around, and none of them were old.
There was peace and tranquility everywhere, and they all had a smile,
I could feel their love, peace and happiness, and I wanted to stay for awhile.
But just as I started to believe, that God has called me home,
I was startled awake, by a loud ringing, it was the telephone.
It was just a Heavenly dream, but I know I will go there someday,
When my life ends here, I will be with the Father, and it will be my time to stay!

Children are required to

associated safety equipment such as helmet, elbow and knee pads.
Our fundraising goal
this year is $2500. Last
year we were able to
achieve $1500, averaging more than $100 per
participant! The Trikea-Thon will combine
bicycle safety with an
introduction to charity
and instill a sense of giving. Because this event is
for children, the participants can relate to the re-
cipients of their efforts. I
can’t think of a more important charity to support
than one that can save the
life of a precious child.
Please join us in the fun!
We will have access
to a picnic area during
the event, and anticipate
the Trike-a-Thon to last
through the lunch hour.
Please feel free to bring

Opportunity of a Lifetime for Local Student
ITHACA, NY: When
looking back on life, May
8, 2009 may very well
stand out as a day to be remembered for a local high
school student. Mary-Elizabeth Foote, a student at
Greenwich Central School
in Greenwich, New York.
A member of the Greenwich FFA Chapter, Foote

Mayor Speaks on
Route 372 Bridge Project
By Ryan Farrell
GREENWICH – The
Greenwich Village Board
of Trustees held their
monthly meeting on
Monday night at the Village Municipal Building.
Mayor David Doonan
spoke about the upcoming
Route 372 bridge project
that is slated to begin in
the spring of 2010.
Doonan said that the
New York State Department of Transportation
plans to repair the bridge
on lower Main Street one
lane at a time, meaning
that the existing structure
will still be used throughout the project and construction of a temporary
bridge through Mill Hollow will not occur.
Doonan said that a
separate DOT project on
the Battenkill Railroad
tracks is also expected
to take place next year,
which could impact the
height of the underpass
near the bridge. The effect
that both projects could
have on the clearance for
WUXFNWUDI¿FWUDYHOLQJLQWR
the village and down an
already-crowded
Main
Street is an important one
for residents.
Doonan stated that he
is attempting to meet with
the DOT to clarify their
plans for the projects.
HILL STREET
PROPERTY
The board voted unanimously to send a notice
of violation to Bud Lacy,
the owner of an abandoned building on 60 Hill
Street, in relation to Local
Laws #1 and #2 of 1982
that deal with abandoned
properties. Lacy will have
¿IWHHQ GD\V WR EHJLQ UHpairing or removing the
structure, which Doonan
and Washington County
&RGH (QIRUFHPHQW 2I¿cer Steve Smith inspected
weeks ago.
“It’s a situation that simply cannot be ignored any
longer,” said Doonan. If
Lacy does not make “a
serious effort” to either
repair or demolish the
building, Doonan said
that the village would
pursue the issue in the
New York State Supreme
Court. Village Attorney
Andrew Kelly and Cambridge-Greenwich Police
Chief George Bell agreed
that barricades should be
placed around the property to prevent any falling
debris from injuring anybody.
FIREHOUSE
PROGRESS
7KH ¿UHKRXVH FRPmittee, which has been
interviewing
potential
architects and taking
walkthroughs at local departments, will make a
recommendation at next

meeting as to which architect they feel the village
should employ to design
WKHLUQHZ¿UHKRXVH
Doonan said that because members of the
Village Board have been
involved in the selection
process from the get-go,
it should be “fairly easy”
to come to a decision on
which architect to select.
He said that once their decision is made, the selected architect should have
preliminary designs created within four months.
Doonan added that the
village is seeking state

services offered to the
community. The courthouse Board is deeply

restoration of the extensive front porch area
badly in need of repair.
Also creating excitement around the courthouse are the plans underway for the seventh

IRUWKH¿UHGHSDUWPHQW
Low bid for the hose and
adapters came from William R. Schumacher, Inc.
for $12,140.70. Trustee
Joe Wever said the Salem Fire Department had
never done business with
this company and he had
never heard of it before
receiving the bid. Since it
was low bid he suggested
the board accept the bid
pending a check on the
business with the Better
Business Bureau or similar agency. The board voted to accept the bid with
Wever’s suggestion. The
next lowest bid came from
Tyler Fire Equipment at a
total of $12,439.93.
Fire Chief Bob Graham said the department
completed a total of 458
training hours. Part of the
training included a twoday bus extrication drill.

department members used
a donated bus to practice

Granville Fire Department

on the east side the building between the Courthouse and “Whitehouse”,

renovations comes from a
$250,000 grant.
Cormier said he spoke
with Bruce Ferguson
about the current condition of the train depot and
Ferguson reported to him
that funds were available

Cormier also mentioned

SALEM – When the 6th grade students entered a sweepstakes through Scholastic along

The Salem Central School students wanted to share the love of reading with other
children in the community. Ms. Akins’ class resolved to donate a portion of the books
for younger readers to the Girl Scouts. Accepting this charitable donation were Tammy

League Competition Heating Up
By Brad Cone
It might only be May, but the
competition in the Par-Tee golf league
is already as scorching as a mid-August
afternoon!
In Division I, 2006 champs Mike
Pichette and Buddy Thorpe have exploded
out of the gates, winning eight out of 11
SRLQWV RQ :HGQHVGD\ WR MXPS LQWR ¿UVW
place. While Buddy led the charge last
week, it was Mike who carried the team
this week as he posted an impressive 44
net 35 on the challenging par-37 front
nine at Windy Hills.
Right on their heels, however, is
the father-son duo of Doug and Joe
Crossman. Playing without his dad, Doug
shot arguably the most impressive round
of the night on Wednesday: a three-overpar 40 net 32 with six pars!
Other players making some noise in
Division I were Pete Martin, whose 41
net 36 round propelled his team from last
SODFHWR¿IWKDQG%RE0RUWRQZKRIRU
the second week in a row tied the low net

In Division II, the standings could not

place and last place is a mere 3.5 points
and three teams are currently tied at the
top! League veteran Gerry Taber kept his
team at the top of the leader board after
posting a 47 net 36 on Wednesday. Two
other teams, however, made big moves
to jump to the top of the standings.
League rookies Bruce M. and Bruce
J. Sausville earned eight points on
Wednesday, catapulting them from a tie
IRU¿IWKWRDWLHIRU¿UVWRQWKHVWUHQJWK
of Bruce M.’s exceptional six-over-par
round of 43. Inaugural league member
Glen Stone and his partner, Dan Williams,
also made a huge move on Wednesday,
gaining eight points to join the Bruces
and Dave and Gerry atop the Division II
standings.
The Tilley brothers also made some
noise this week. After a tough opening
night that left them with only 2.5 points,
Dave and Duane struck back with a
vengeance on Wednesday! Dave posted
a brilliant 44 net 33 score, while Duane
shot an equally strong 56 net 34. The
two rounds helped the brothers win 8.5
out of 11 points and leap from last place
to within one point of the top spot in
Division II.
Mike King took home the longest putt
prize this week after sinking a 12-foot
VL[LQFKSXWWRQWKHSDU¿UVWKROH7KH
prize was sponsored by fellow league
member Mike Pichette.
Doug Crossman put the icing on his
noteworthy night by winning the closest
to the pin contest on the par-3 second
hole. Doug landed his tee shot just over
10 feet from the cup. The $10 award was
sponsored by Dave Tilley and satbed.
com.
Looking ahead to next week, the
marquee match will be Division I leaders
Mike Pichette and Buddy Thorpe taking
on Division II co-leaders Dave Clark
and Gerry Taber. While it is always
noteworthy when division leaders faceoff, this match-up is also a rematch of
the 2006 championship, where Mike
and Buddy defeated Dave and Gerry
to take home the crown. Tune in next
week to see if Dave and Gerry can dial
up a little revenge or if Mike and Buddy
can continue their hot start to the ’09
season!
