Chinese Auction
There were 29 Ammonoosuc
Valley Seniors who met on the
stage of the Lisbon Town Hall
on Jan. 20. Each came with a
contribution for the Chinese
auction, much of it food, and
the club netted a neat sum
from the activity.
There was also another
difference, this in refresh,
ments, as each brought his
own "food", with the club
furnishing tea and coffee. The
few who came unprepared
didn't suffer too much, as
several kind ladies baked
something extra.
Margaret Baker offered
"The Dieter's Creed" -- with
the 23rd Psalm as a basis.
Dorothy Wetherbee read of

BRADFORD-- A two season,

night as the Olympian girls'
basketball team downed the
Chelsea Red Devils 62-54 in a

Chelsea to the teams they

regular monthly meeting. The spring turkey season was
expanded as biologist Jeff Wallin had requested. The open
zone will be increased to Interstate 89 from the Connecticut
River to Interstate 189 in South Burlington.
The season will open on Saturday, May 8 and run through
May 31. This is an increase from sixteen to twenty-four days,
The season was set for this year 6ply as the board was not
ready to take Wallin's advice and start the season on any day
but Saturday at this time.
Wallin spoke of turkey releases in Grand Isle County and
his plans to have turkey hunting all the way to the Canadian
border along the Champlain valley soon.
The Board spent considerable time discussing the proposed
ban on the use of transmitters on bear dogs. Most of the
members spoke in favor of retaining the collars and ad-
dressing the question of commercialism in some other way.
The prevailing attitude was that the good sportsmen should
not be penalized for the actions of a very few.-
After hearing from biologist James DiStefano the Board
chose not to extend the fox hunting season.
In other action the Board heard from biologist Angelo
lncerpi who told of the progress on the fish ladders and the
return of shad and salmon to the Connecticut.

Oxbow trips up Woodsville,
rematch of local rivalry
WOODSVILLE-- The
Olympians of Oxbow took a
giant step in their quest for
post-season play by besting
the Woodsville Engineers, 66-
60 at the Community Building.
The win, the first in two and a
half years against Woodsville,
left Oxbow one victory short of
the playdowns, r
Woodsville started out
strong, jumping out to a quick
10-2 lead, implementing a full
court press in their saltbox
gymnasium. The twosome of
Magoon and Mellin hit for five
quick points each leading the
charge of the Engineers. The
only bright spot in the first
three minutes for Oxbow was
Charlie Grant's two pointer,
knotting the score at 2-2.
With half of the first quarter
gone, Oxbow started to solve
the press and chipped away at
the lead., Ron Huntington,
Dave Stever and high scorer
for the night Brian Page hit
consecutive jumpers, making
the score 10-8. The teams
• traded baskets with the period
ending in Woodsville's favor
16-14.
At 3:50 of the second
quarter, Oxbow went ahead to
stay. Bruce Jacobs fed
Huntington on a fast break
and Oxbow was never headed.
At the half, Oxbow held a 29-25
lead. First half" statistics
shewed Oxbow hitting on 14 of
35 field goals compared to only
9 of 34 for the Engineers. The
host team did, however, hit on
7 of 12 from the line, Oxbow a
mere 1 for 2.
The tempo picked up in the
third quarter, Woodsville

only outscore Oxbow by one,

More than 1,600 miles of

laced together in the
snowmobile corridor system
maintained by the Vermont
Association of Snow Travelers
(VAST).
VAST's corridor trails are
up to eight feet wide,
providing a sort of
"superhighway" for snow
machine travel, according to a
VAST spokesman. Main-
tenance of the trails is con-
tracted to the 190 local
snowmobile clubs that support
VAST. Most of this trail
grooming is done with wide
track grooming machines, the
same type used at alpine ski
areas.

Vermont, like [hat of skiing,

Chinese Auction
There were 29 Ammonoosuc
Valley Seniors who met on the
stage of the Lisbon Town Hall
on Jan. 20. Each came with a
contribution for the Chinese
auction, much of it food, and
the club netted a neat sum
from the activity.
There was also another
difference, this in refresh,
ments, as each brought his
own "food", with the club
furnishing tea and coffee. The
few who came unprepared
didn't suffer too much, as
several kind ladies baked
something extra.
Margaret Baker offered
"The Dieter's Creed" -- with
the 23rd Psalm as a basis.
Dorothy Wetherbee read of

regular monthly meeting. The spring turkey season was
expanded as biologist Jeff Wallin had requested. The open
zone will be increased to Interstate 89 from the Connecticut
River to Interstate 189 in South Burlington.
The season will open on Saturday, May 8 and run through
May 31. This is an increase from sixteen to twenty-four days,
The season was set for this year 6ply as the board was not
ready to take Wallin's advice and start the season on any day
but Saturday at this time.
Wallin spoke of turkey releases in Grand Isle County and
his plans to have turkey hunting all the way to the Canadian
border along the Champlain valley soon.
The Board spent considerable time discussing the proposed
ban on the use of transmitters on bear dogs. Most of the
members spoke in favor of retaining the collars and ad-
dressing the question of commercialism in some other way.
The prevailing attitude was that the good sportsmen should
not be penalized for the actions of a very few.-
After hearing from biologist James DiStefano the Board
chose not to extend the fox hunting season.
In other action the Board heard from biologist Angelo
lncerpi who told of the progress on the fish ladders and the
return of shad and salmon to the Connecticut.

Oxbow trips up Woodsville,
rematch of local rivalry
WOODSVILLE-- The
Olympians of Oxbow took a
giant step in their quest for
post-season play by besting
the Woodsville Engineers, 66-

The win, the first in two and a
half years against Woodsville,

strong, jumping out to a quick
10-2 lead, implementing a full
court press in their saltbox
gymnasium. The twosome of
Magoon and Mellin hit for five
quick points each leading the
charge of the Engineers. The
only bright spot in the first
three minutes for Oxbow was
Charlie Grant's two pointer,
knotting the score at 2-2.
With half of the first quarter
gone, Oxbow started to solve
the press and chipped away at
the lead., Ron Huntington,
Dave Stever and high scorer
for the night Brian Page hit
consecutive jumpers, making
the score 10-8. The teams

At 3:50 of the second
quarter, Oxbow went ahead to

and Oxbow was never headed.
At the half, Oxbow held a 29-25
lead. First half" statistics
shewed Oxbow hitting on 14 of
35 field goals compared to only

VAST's corridor trails are

providing a sort of
"superhighway" for snow

VAST spokesman. Main-
