It was 30 years ago today
I never dreamed of being a writer, I just happened to be in the right place at the right time. It was an early morning in 1994, and I was standing in the composition department of the Mountain Times, having been hired the prior year as a part-time graphic artist. Computers were just coming onto the scene, and while I was keen to get behind one, because of my lack of technical skills I was relegated to the camera room and paste-up boards (two areas of production that the computer eventually killed).

Springfield Unified Basketball games 5 and 6
SPRINGFIELD, Vt. – On Tuesday, April 30, the Cosmos Unified Basketball team traveled to Clarendon, Vt., to face the Mill River Minutemen. The Cosmos had a huge fight in the second half, but could not reign in the win. The Minutemen brought home the win for the night with a final score of 44-39. The Cosmos were slow to start the game in the first half. The Minutemen came off strong with a first quarter score of 20-5. In the second quarter, the Cosmos were able to outscore the Minutemen 8-6. With a slow comeback in the first half, the Cosmos started to pull it together in the third quarter, scoring 10 points to the Minutemen’s 11. Buckets from Bailey, Leon, and Bills would begin a start that led to a fourth-quarter comeback, only a few points shy of a win. The Minutemen would lead the fourth quarter by 14 points with a score of 37-23. Coaches Gultekin and Pinter-Petrillo huddled with the team to instruct them to use junior Sam Bailey. Bailey is the first person down the court on offense and defense. So, Larkin and Puffer did just that. Bailey scored 10 points, Bills chipped in four points, and Todd had two in the fast-paced fourth quarter. At one point in the fourth quarter, Springfield cut the deficit to three points.
