Laura Schieb, a Vermont Law School student, plays a game of hockey with her daughter, Ingrid Biedron, a Ph.D. candidate at Cornell, on the South Royalton skating rink Tuesday between classes. Biedron said that the two, who come to SoRo from Michigan come out nearly weekly for some one-on-one hockey. Schieb noted that she's out on the ice every chance she gets.
The rink is put together by Royalton Recreation Committee members Jim Hewitt and Geo Honigford with lots of help from Paul Brock and the South Royalton Fire Department, who flood the rink with water. Honigford said that, though the town does up-keep, there are "lot's of anonymous helpers as well. Sometimes we'll get down there only to find that it's been shoveled already." (Herald / Tim Calabro)
