“When Andrea says “Whatever it takes” she means
it. She is always upbeat,
even in the difficult situations. After more than 2
years on the market and
3 to 4 months negotiation involving
7 family members – well, she did
“whatever it takes” and her
cheery manner and her crew got
the job done and the place sold!
Miracles still do happen.” Christopher & Lynne

success as the founder

DINNER

touted the mission of that organization, which
has been dedicated to cleaning up northern Lake
Champlain for many years. Their work with on-farm
conservation practices has successfully kept pollution
out of many waterways in the northwest region. They
also work with towns on storm-water management
projects.
The Business of the Year Award was presented
to Joe Bauer of Bauer Gravel Farnham; Steve Stata,
President of the Lake Champlain Islands board,
reminded the gathering of the many years of service
Bauer has given to the Islands, a steady presence
since the 1970’s, and thanked Joe and the firm for
their contribution to making the Islands a better place.
Senator Dick Mazza dedicated the Community
Service Award to the late JoAnne Champagne, who
was an inspiration for all in the many ways she
gave back to the Community. The award was then
given to Karen Browning of the Grand Isle County
Mentoring Program, who spoke eloquently of the
impact mentoring has had on many of the students in
Islands schools.
The evening ended with the awarding of raffle
prizes. The two prizes were a wood bench and table,
built and donated by Philip Horican Contracting,
filled with Islands goodies, and a large plant covered
with lottery tickets.
Sponsors of the event were Bauer Gravel Farnham,
Peoples Trust Company and Northwest Regional
Planning Commission.

Update from the
Alburgh Springs
Community Hall
Restoration Project
The Alburgh Springs Community Hall was
constructed in 1856 as a Methodist Episcopal Meeting
House. Through the years, it served as a venue for
church functions. By 1949, it was used as a meeting
hall. By the time the Town of Alburgh purchased the
property in 2010, the hall had seen little use and had
fallen into a state of disrepair.
With the determination and dedication of Nancy
Christopher, a group of residents reemerged in
2010 to begin the process of restoring the Hall,
which by then had been designated a municipal
historic building. They received a grant and hired a
company, with a specialty in the craft and history of
old buildings, and got an assessment for restoration.
The Alburgh Springs Community Hall Restoration
Project’s goal is to restore the building, make the
outer walls into a museum with the old church pews,
hymnals, books, curtains, etc. and a meeting place in
the center of the Hall. Remember when card parties,
bridal showers, baby showers, small weddings and
holiday parties were held there? That could happen
again with your help.
So, far, the property has been surveyed, a driveway
has been installed, the bell tower was taken down to
be repaired, including the bell which you may have
heard last year in the Fourth of July parade, electricity
was wired, the stone foundation has been grouted, a
cement slab poured for the Swanton/Alburgh bridge
control building and a new sign designed and painted
by a local art student. All this work and much more
has been done by local carpenters, contractors and
neighbors volunteering their time and knowledge.
The Alburgh Springs Community Hall committee
is asking you to become a part of this effort. Your
contribution of money or donated labor hours will
enable the construction and assist in efforts to
obtain grants. Each grant received must be either
matched with money or the value of the labor hours
if someone had to be hired to provide them.
Any contribution, even as little as $5, would be
greatly appreciated! Contributions may be sent to
Alburgh Springs Community Hall, 17 Greenwoods
Road, Alburgh Springs, VT 05440.
You are also invited to join them for their monthly
meetings at the Community Hall on the first Thursday
of the month starting at 7 pm.
The Bloodmobile is
Coming
to South Hero
Because the need for blood never takes a vacation,
the Red Cross is asking blood donors in Grand Isle
County to put giving blood at the top of their list of
things to do this summer. There is critical need for all
blood types.
The American Red Cross Bloodmobile will be at
Folsom School in South Hero on Tuesday, July 2 from
12:30 to 6 pm. All eligible donors are encouraged
to come out and help. There are some residents in
Grand Isle County that have a critical need for blood
and blood products, so, let’s help our neighbors by
donating.
Donors must be at least 17 years of age, or 16 in
Vermont with parental permission, weigh at least
110 pounds and be in good health. All donors need
to bring a blood donor card or photo ID. Plan to relax
and enjoy some refreshments after your donation.
All presenting donors will receive a coupon toward
the purchase of Turkey Hill Ice Cream, a chance to
win two tickets to a Boston Red Sox game and a free
American Red Cross Lifesaver T-shirt.
Giving blood is completely safe and makes you
feel good! We hope to exceed our goal of 50 pints
which will be needed for the upcoming holiday. To
find out more about giving blood, call 802-658-6400
or visit redcrossblood.org.
Island Gardeners to
Visit Local Gardens
The Island Gardeners will visit two Grand Isle
properties on Tuesday, June 11 starting at 6:30 pm.
The first garden will be Sherry and Gene McAllisters’
at 37 Moccasin Avenue in Grand Isle, and from there,
they’ll go to Janine and David Banks’ at 315 US Route
2 in South Hero.
Every Second Counts
Everyone knows the adage “every second counts”
when referring to an emergency, and it’s true. The
difference between life and death may only be a
few seconds for a victim. To cut down on emergency
response time, the South Hero Fire Department
Auxiliary is taking orders for 911 Reflective Address
Markers for your home or business.
These aluminum signs are highly reflective day or
night and can be mounted to your existing mailbox or
on a post. Signs are $15 each. Contact any auxiliary
member. It may save your life or someone you love.
To order a sign, call Karen Hussey at 372-5920.
Helmets or Hospital?
Be on the lookout for posters reminding
cyclists to wear their bike helmets! The
Champlain Shamrocks 4-H Club of Grand Isle
County recently learned about bicycle safety
and made posters to hang around town to
remind all bicyclists to wear a properly-fitting
helmet for safety!”

So, I know you are all going to hate to hear
this, but hazy, hot and humid are truly glorious
words to me. Flip flops, summer dresses, sitting
outside from morning until night, visiting
with neighbors, family and friends, barbecues,
kids in the pool, bucketball, gardening-- now
that’s my idea of a good time! Cooler weather
is on its way and I know that makes most of
you happy, but for now, I am going to sit on
my deck and enjoy this heat to the fullest.

off at 9 am on Thursday, May 30 with ten

we got rained out after nine holes, but we did

whose numbers didn’t begin with “t” or “f”, for
instance: one. Half handicap was subtracted
from their sum. No chip-ins or birdies were
to be had. The winners were: first- Aline
Campbell, second- Linda Roberts and thirdClaudia Rasl and Sue Jacques.
Our league welcomes all interested golfing
ladies to play. We ask that you sign up at the
club house by the day before. Non-members
can pay greens/cart fees. We have friendly
competitions that no one takes too seriously.
And, afterwards, we generally stay for lunch
at the Links on the Lake Restaurant. For more
information, contact the club at 796-3586.

NOTES
I was going through some of my mother-inlaws handwritten recipes the other day and
came upon this one and had to share it with
you. It seems appropriate because there seems
to be a rise in whooping cough these days. Well
you could try one of these.
Whooping Cough: boil five garden beets, slice
in a bowl, cover with molasses, after a few hours
when the juice is extracted give a teaspoonful
of the juice three times a day and after spasms.
The signature reads: Aunt “Lina” Frenyea.
Another reads: a cupful of honey to one quart
of water, let simmer, but don’t boil, for four
hours, then strain, when cool add one sliced
lemon. Dose- one tablespoonful three times a
day and after a coughing fit.
I love finding or hearing about these home
remedies. I wonder how effective they were
and hope that they did relieve some of the
coughing because I remember coughing from
what felt like from the bottom of my toes. I am
not sure what molasses and beets would taste
like.Brown, 81, of Miner Farm Road, Chazy
who passed away at the CVPH Medical Center
in Plattsburgh on May 15, and to the family of
Ashley A. Poissant, 27, of Champlain who was
fatally injured when struck by a car on the Perry
Mills Road in Champlain on Monday, May 20.
I hope everyone had a great Memorial Holiday
Weekend!

LCBP Seeks Proposals
for Structured
Decision-Making
Process
The Lake Champlain Basin Program (LCBP) is
pleased to announce a Request for Proposals
(RFP) for technical services to facilitate the
development of a structured decision-making
process for the Lake Champlain Basin Program.
This project will improve the efficiency,
effectiveness, and defensibility of the LCBP’s
decision-making process around phosphorus
management by providing the LCBP with a
formalized and rigorous procedure for explicitly
connecting the Program’s strategic management
goals with the annual budgeting process.
This project will support the management of
phosphorus loadings by aiding planning and
prioritization efforts as outlined in the LCBP’s
long-term management plan: Opportunities for
Action: An Evolving Plan for the Future of the
Lake Champlain Basin. This RFP is supported by
US EPA funds provided to New England Interstate
Water Pollution Control Commission (NEIWPCC)
in partnership with LCBP.
This project will develop and execute a
repeatable methodology for use by the LCBP
Steering Committee to refine management goals,
evaluate competing management strategies,
estimate the outcomes of those strategies,
choose preferred actions, and promote learning
over time.
This Request for Proposals is available from
the Lake Champlain Basin Program website.
Look for the link on our homepage at www.
lcbp.org. To receive a copy of the RFP via US
Postal Service, contact the Lake Champlain Basin
Program office at 372-3213 or toll free at 1-800468-LCBP in New York and Vermont.
To facilitate the review process, applicants
must submit proposals in both paper and
electronic format.
A hardcopy: ten copies, and electronic
versions: no facsimiles, of proposals must be
received by the Lake Champlain Basin Program
office at 54 West Shore Road, Grand Isle, by 4 pm
on July 10, 2013. Late or incomplete proposals
will not be considered.

“We Bring the Lake Alive”
“The Faces of Rock and Roll”
Island Arts presents photojournalism performing musician art photography by Rick Norcross, “The
Faces of Rock and Roll: 1969-1974” June 3rd – July 1st 2013 in the Island Arts gallery at Merchants
Bank in the historic South Hero Inn, 301 Rt. 2, S. Hero, VT. Hours: Mon-Thur. 9-4, Fri-9-5:30.
An exhibit of rare Rock & Roll photographs taken by Vermont musician Rick Norcross (Rick and the
Ramblers) will show through the month of June. Between October of 1969 and September of 1974,
Norcross was the music writer for The Tampa Times, a 70,000 circulation afternoon daily newspaper
in the 13th largest market in America. Tampa was a major venue for touring music stars of the day and
Norcross had free rein to cover any non-classical performance in small clubs, concert halls, stadiums
and rock festivals in central Florida and southern Georgia.
Norcross was hired to write reviews, interviews and feature stories about the music scene and quickly
became frustrated with the photos he got through the newspaper’s photo department to accompany
his stories. When he put in a photo assignment for a concert, the paper sent a photographer who would
shoot for 15 minutes and then move on to other assignments. So Norcross purchased his own camera
equipment
and film and
the
Tampa
Times ran the
photos with
his
stories
and reviews
on an unpaid
basis. Per his
agreement
with
Times’
management,
Norcross
retained sole
Elvis
ownership and
all rights to the photographs.
Over his five years with the newspaper,
Norcross interviewed and photographed many
of the most famous artists of the century Elvis, Janis Joplin, Led Zep, Johnny Cash, Elton
John, The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones
and hundreds of others. With front row, stage
and backstage access to these artists, access
unheard-of in today’s atmosphere of super-strict
celebrity security, these images are rare indeed.
So now,
44
years
later, these
Norcross
photographs
emerge
to
document
the
spirit
and
the
Janis Joplin
unbridled energy of rock and roll stars caught at
the peak of their careers, many of whom have
long since passed away and many who are still
rocking, buoyed by the quality of these seminal
performances.
Photos featuring the following stars will be on
display and for sale in this exhibit:

We survived the balmy 41-degree, winddriven rain filled camping trip. Nothing that
tarps, duct tape, and tent poled contraptions
that helped keep the eternal campfire lit and
our spirits from dampening. Will try again
this week, as we head to Central Vermont in
the ole’ camper. The wait-a-minute-weather
in Vermont forecasted record heat would be a
welcome treat. The girl will be occupied with
bike riding and nail polish parties with her
friends, the boy will be occupied with fishing
with his friends, and this momma will be at the
edge of the pool with a mommy drink in hand
working on my pasty Vermont girl tan. Soak it
in, because we all know how it goes with the
weather around here. Just hope the skeeters
don’t carry us away!

It is very warm tonight. 90 degrees today, and
nearly 90 yesterday. We’ve had four seasons in
the last couple of weeks. It was 40 one day and
80 the next. Not good for allergies. I just got
my AC put in a little while ago, and it sure feels
different already. I had fans going, but all they
do is blow the warm air around.

we counted our hole punches for the month of
May-- we knew the number was impressive, but
did not realize the true numbers. Although May
is National Bjke to School Month, walkers are

in May, they had a total of 88 punches on their

A New England farmer, who was down in New
York City to see the sights, engaged a room at a
hotel and before retiring asked the clerk about
the hours of the meals.
“We have breakfast from 6 to 11, dinner from
11 to 3 and supper from 3 to 8,” explained the
clerk,
“Well, say” inquired the farmer, with his hand
on his chin, “what time am I going to get to see
the town?”

Opening Season at
Fisk Farm
The Barn Gallery at Fisk Farm will begin its 19th
season with an Opening Reception on Sunday, June
9, 4:00 to 7:00 pm. An exhibit of the paintings of two
Vermont artists, Susan Larkin of Isle la Motte and
Valerie Ugro of Fairfax, Vermont will be featured. The
art and craft of Ginger Johnson of Alburgh, Vermont
will also fbe on display. All are welcome to attend.
Susan Larkin is a landscape painter who makes
her home in the Lake Champlain Islands in Vermont.
She works in oil and pastel and has been painting
for over 10 years. Previous to working as a painter,
she worked in clay, producing Raku pottery vessels.
Susan says, “I try to communicate what the day
felt like to me, the air, the sounds, the light, colors,
conversations with my painting companions. I want
to capture what exactly it was that made this view,
this day, to shine for me. The magical something that
made my mind say, “Look at that!”
Valerie Ugro initially studied photography but
has been a full time professional artist since 1989 in
Vermont. Her love of nature and the out-of-doors
brought her to bicycle past the Fisk Farm ruins in the
1980’s. Valerie was fascinated by how the sun cast
such wonderful light on the old stone ruins. It wasn’t
until 1995 that she came back and asked if she could
photograph and sketch the property. She was the
first Art Director at Fisk Farm beginning in 1996, a
position now held by Maurie Harrington. Her work
has been shown in numerous contexts throughout
Vermont, and has received awards from various
juried shows.
Ginger Johnson experiments with weaving,
knitting, sewing, painting, collage, and the Book Arts.
She states, “As a fiber artist, I love color and texture the bolder the better - and feel at my very best when
I am surrounded with the beauty of color and the
richness of texture. I love experimenting with water
colors and combining fibers, paper and paints. When
it all comes together, the final image speaks to my
soul.”
This exhibit will be on display until June 19th.
The Isle La Motte Preservation Trust presents the
Cultural Heritage Events that take place in the Barn
Gallery at Fisk Farm. For a full schedule of the 2013
season, visit ilmpt.org. Fisk Farm is located at 3849

The South Hero Volunteer Fire Department

of the Fire Department will join in. They are
also looking for any old pictures or memorabilia
anyone may have of the SHVFD.
Grand Isle County
Mentoring Celebrates
End of the Year
By: Karen Browning
The Grand Isle County Mentoring Program
has had a wonderful year ending our year with
42 mentor mentee matches throughout the five
Grand Isle Schools. We will be having a dinner
with mentors, mentees and their families on
Monday evening June 10 from 5:30 to 7 pm at
the Grand Isle School. All mentors, mentees and
their families are invited to attend. Mentors and
their mentees will share with the group some of
the things they have been doing this year. We will
congratulate our 8th graders who are moving on
the high school and will be transitioning to community based mentoring with their mentors.
Grand Isle County Mentoring is a school-based mentoring program, which matches community
children with adults who have similar interests. They meet once a week for one hour in the school
at a mutually convenient time. We hope to have some new matches in the fall. This is a good time to
apply to be ready to start in the fall. Children from all five island schools are involved in the program
and range from grades 1 to 8. Now is the time to think about young people in our community who
could benefit from an additional relationship with a caring adult. Every child who wants a mentor
should have one! Mentoring has proven results for both the children and adults who care enough to
make the commitment of just one hour a week.
If you would like more information, please
contact me, Karen Browning, coordinator at
372-5239 or email [email protected].
