restoration of upper Olympus Road and recommended the Board opt for
an aggregate surface with geotextile and postpone paving until
Contract 4. This option will require road closure during the

option as well as the lowest cost option at an estimated $23,151.

regarding the interim restoration of upper Olympus Road. The motion
was approved.

The Proctor Rangers baseball team's season came to an end last
Wednesday when they suffered a 11-6 loss to the Rutland Titans.
Zach Bates was the starting pitcher and at the end of 3 innings the
score was tied 3-3. He was also the hot bat going 2 for 3 with a
single and a double. The Rangers were hitting the ball well but the
Titans were swallowing up everything with great defense. The Titans
took a one run lead in the fourth but Derek Almond did a great job
of keeping them to just one when the bases were loaded. It was the
bottom of the fifth inning when the Titans broke away scoring 7
runs. The Rangers looked prime for a come back in the top of the
sixth inning scoring 3 runs with only 1 out and the bases loaded.
The inning ended when the Titans converted a double play off a Zach
Jalbert hard hit line drive to second and then they doubled up the
runner on first. M.J. Denis went 1-2 with a single. For some of the
players the season is over but congratulations to Derek Almond,
Zach Jalbert, M.J. Denis and Zachary Bates who all made one of the
two all-star teams that will be competing in the Proctor tournament
a couple of weeks from now.
