Here's what a few readers have said about "Vermont Today:"

I am in Lebanon, Conn.I was born in Northfield and spent summers there with my grandparents. I am now 72 years old and I still think that Vt acres chosen by God, to the amusement of my family. I guess the happy memories leave memories of sun and rainbow. Lol. We usually take a walk up and read the annual Northfield Weekly News. Of course, I read the Argus too. I appreciate your reports and wish you every success. --- Pat Fraser, via iPad

The first time you read ---- sitting in my house on the shores of Lake Champlain, in the beautiful town of North Hero, Thank you for coming to Vermont!

Not a bad idea to update at noon appeared on my Google news.

Now for the news ....

The climbers face must win situation tonight at home
Vermont Mountaineers will host part 2 of their first round New England Collegiate Baseball League best-of-three playoff series tonight at 6:30 p.m. at Holyoke recreation ground Montpellier. The Mountaineers dropped Game 1 4-3 in Holyoke last night, despite a late surge, coming from a 4-1 eighth-inning deficit. A loss tonight would end the season for Vermont. A Mountaineer win would force a Game 3 tomorrow night in Holyoke. Right-handed pitcher Ryan Fasano will take the mound for Vermont tonight, hoping to improve to 4-1 this summer. He has won three of his last five starts and brings a 2.93 ERA into tonight's matchup. The Blue Sox will start Ben Mount, who has compiled a 5-1 record with a 1.36 ERA. Vermont is 17-4 at home, but dropped further below .500 on the road last night. Results and photos from tonight's game can be found in The Times Argus and Rutland Herald e-Edition on Friday, online at www.timesargus.

McDonald's Teams Up with the Florida Marlins & Hispanic Heritage ...

On August 12, more than 100 local young players will spend the afternoon with coaches of the Marlins RBI league at a free McDonald’s youth baseball clinic where they will be taught the drills to improve their baseball techniques as well as tips on how professional players prepare for the big game.  This event will take place at the Miami Lakes Optimist Park located at 6411 NW 162 Street.

McDonald’s will provide a McDonald’s jersey, cap and three tickets to the Marlins-Cardinals game at Sun Life Stadium .  In addition, 20 clinic participants will be selected to participate in an on-field experience before the big game where they will visit the Marlins dugout and batting cages, watch their favorite Marlins players during batting practice, take photos and receive a Marlins gift bag.

McDonald’s believes in offering kids opportunities to help encourage them to succeed both on and off the field. The baseball clinics are part of McDonald’s partnership with the HHBM and the Marlins to make unique big league opportunities available to local youth. The partnership includes a youth baseball clinic, free pre-game activities, an exceptional in-stadium visit for select children, and a recognition ceremony for a special Latino coach, player or retiree.
