Dick also worked for many years in
pyrotechnics, helping to provide fireworks
displays at various events for many towns.

of the Percheron Horse Association, and
had been a state treasurer for the Future

memory may be made to the Norris

whom he considered a friend.

For thirty years she worked for the
Beecher Falls Division of Ethan Allen,

PETER GERVAIS
Peter Roland Gervais, 71, of Carroll,
died on February 27, 2015.
He was born in Lewiston, Maine, on
January 31, 1944 to Roland and Ethel
Gervais. Peter was graduated from St.
Dominic’s High School in Lewiston in
1962 and attended St Michael’s College in
Winooski, Vt.
Upon graduation, Peter taught English
for two years in East Corinth, Maine. He
then moved to Burlington, Vt., in 1970
and to Connecticut in 1974. Peter spent
several years living and working in
Connecticut, and then headed back up
north to settle in New Hampshire.
Since 1992, he had worked at The Cog
Railway as a cook extraordinaire. Peter
enjoyed life in a humble sort of way. A day
of greeting friends and lifting others’ spirits was just the right antidote that made for
a very pleasurable day. Always a smile, a
kind word, and a hug were the best medicine, provided each day for all who knew
him.
He is survived by his son, Peter Roland
Gervais Jr. of Washington State; a daughter, Jacqueline Michelle (Gervais) Nathan,
son-in-law Kobi T. Nathan, and two
grandchildren Zain and Seetha of New
York; along with many Carroll friends
including his Cog family.
Peter brought many years of joy to people’s lives and he enjoyed his friendships
beyond measure. He will be dearly
missed.

Past, Present, and Midge
By Midge Rosebrook
Dick’s Shamrocks
Those who began reading my first column in The Great Northwoods Journal
some 10 years ago, titled “Say, Did You
Hear About The Time,” know that many
of those stories were almost entirely about
my days at Monahan’s Gulf. As time
marches on, many of these stories are
beginning to fade from memory, and it
was fortunate for me to have been able to
get them documented while they were still
fresh in my mind.
Even at that, there were quite a few
times when my Dad or some other family
member would question their authenticity,
because the story sometimes didn’t jive
with how they remembered it themselves.
Memories have a funny way, at times, of
making things happen that didn’t or not
happen that really did. Nevertheless, no
one will convince us otherwise either way.
A while ago I received a phone call from
a dear friend of mine, Dorothy Roy, who
has saved much of my early stories and
passes them on to those who might enjoy
them. Dottie was my nurse, when I was
four years old and in the hospital to have
my tonsils removed. She told me that she
had passed the story about Dick’s St.
Patrick’s Day shamrocks, written years
ago, to her sister Jackie.
They lived next to Dick and Edna
Monahan on Middle Street, and Dick and
Edna were very close to the girls and their
parents, Roy and Muriel Reny. She asked
if I might tell the shamrock story again.
Well Dottie, let’s bring back that great
memory one more time. Everybody grab a
seat and listen along if you’d like. I’ll try
to be as close to the way that I remember
Dick telling of the day Ralph Donnelly
uttered his famous one-liner, on one particular St. Patrick’s Day.
For some preliminary background, Dick
Monahan’s mother Dora had a shamrock
plant that came over from Ireland, most
likely during the Irish immigration in the
late 1800s. She meticulously maintained
this plant in a big pot, and a happy and
healthy plant it was. The shamrocks were
huge, about five times larger than a
cloverleaf. Each year as the dawn broke
on St. Patrick’s Day morning, before he
went to work, Dick would stop over at his
mother’s house across the street from the
Gulf Station (where Sally Beattie lives
now) to pick up a water-filled drinking
glass, chock-full of shamrock plant sprigs.
At work, Dick placed them on top of the
candy case in the office, from which he
would dole them out to all of his Irish
friends.
Even if they didn’t need gas or service
on that day, his clan of merry Irishmen
would make a point to stop and pick up
their sprig of shamrock. Among this elite
bunch were Lee Emery, Curly Congdon,
Merv Connary, Bill Doolan, Ken Clark,
Randall Carr, Bill Fitch, Charlie Fitch II
and Ralph Donnelly. His competitors in
the gas business such as Everett Crawford
and Bill Hodgdon would also make the
trip down. If your last name began with
the letters “Mc” you were definitely in,
like logger William “Biddy” McCarten for
instance, who wouldn’t dream of heading
into the woods on St. Paddy’s Day without
a sprig of shamrock sticking out of his
wool tuque.

Come join a creative & hardworking team
dedicated to improving the health and well-being
of North Country residents!
Senior Prevention Program Manager
This position entails working closely with Consortium staff, community, and statewide
stakeholders to coordinate, develop and implement all Substance Misuse Prevention
efforts utilizing the North Country Regional Prevention Network. The Senior
Prevention Program Manager will promote a common and standardized approach to
evidence-based prevention programs, policies and practices within the North Country
Region. This position supervises prevention program staff.
To The Editor:
Okay, the gauntlet has been thrown!
Midge, you may have spent lots of time
with cows in your younger years, but that
means you had plenty of opportunity to
kiss them multiple times! What were you
waiting for, if you are so impassioned
about doing so?
I, on the other hand, spent time daily on
more than 25 farms throughout Coös and
Essex counties for several years in the
early ‘80s, carrying milk for Bossie and
her friends, but had to restrain myself (it
does happen occasionally) as they were
the cows of udders…I mean, others. I
mean, really, would it have been right for
me to kiss someone else’s cow? So I’m
“jones’in” to have my own cow. You had
your chance, Midge, and you blew it!
So I’m asking for your vote people,
even if it’s only my “Cow For a Day.”

MARTIN'S AGWAY
393 Main Street • Lancaster, NH •
603-788-2600
Yes folks, Lancaster’s Irish settlers
always felt it their duty to display one of
Dick Monahan’s shamrocks proudly in
their lapel or on their hat, on this special
day. But if your name happened to be, say,
LeFevre, Nadeau or Ingerson, then getting
one of these little prizes might occasionally come at a price.
On one St. Patrick’s Day morning as
Ralph Donnelly stopped in the office to
get his shamrock, there happened to be a
regular customer possessing a last name
that didn’t begin with an “O’” or “Mc” in
there, buying gas. As Ralph reached up to
pull his symbol of the old country carefully from the glass tumbler, the non-Irish
customer piped up and asked Dick if he
could take one, as well. A quick-witted
Donnelly immediately broke in exclaiming, “No! This is our day—but yours is
coming.” Winking at Dick, he said, “April
1st is for the rest of you damn fools!”
After the laughter finally subsided, Dick
reached into the quickly depleting jar of
shamrocks and handed him one. No one
that I know of, Irish or otherwise, ever left
Dick’s without a shamrock if they really
wanted one. By noon, the drinking glass
held only a half cupful of cloudy water. A
story for the ages, folks, during a time
when we actually took the time.
P.S. Shortly after the announcement for
my candidacy in the “Kiss-a-Cow” contest, what happened next, could only be
described as a divine intervention. Two
days later I woke up with a really good
case of Bell’s Palsy on the right side of my
face. It couldn’t have come at a better
time, because as everyone knows, a good
politician has to be able to talk out of one
side of his face, and that has been taken
care of for me.

Obituaries
JOSEPH MELANSON
Joseph Lewis “Lew” Melanson, 80, of
Columbia, died at the Upper Connecticut
Valley Hospital in Colebrook on Saturday
evening, March 7, 2015. It was the 21st
anniversary of his wedding to his beloved
wife, Gerda, who was at his side.
He was born on October 17, 1934 in New
Bedford, Mass., and was one of the late Peter
and Emiline (Marcotte) Melanson’s 13 children. He attended schools in Massachusetts
and served with honor in the Navy.
Following his military service, Lew
worked for the State of Massachusetts highway department for 25 years as a bridge carpenter. Not one to ever sit still, he had most
recently worked at the rest area in Colebrook
as a greeter.
On March 7, 1994 Lew was married to the
love of his life, Gerda, whom he lovingly
referred to as his “German bride,” at the top
of the Balsams-Wilderness ski slopes where
they had met and fallen in love. They moved
to New Hampshire permanently in 1997 and
made their home in Bungy.
Lew enjoyed being outside, working in his
woods, and was always up for any project
that involved hammers, power tools or a
chainsaw. He loved to mow his lawn, which
he made sure looked like a carpet of green.
Always wanting to be busy, he volunteered
for many organizations, including Kiwanis
and the Colebrook Ski-Bees. He loved meeting new people and learning new things.
Lew loved reading history books, surfing the
Web on his computer, and telling and hearing
stories. He was quick to laugh and was
always ready to share his wisdom with anyone who was looking for it. He was usually
right, much to the consternation of some. He
would often say, “You do what you want,
but….” and people usually found they were
sorry if they didn’t listen to that, “but…”
He was tenacious and hard-working, and
although he battled illness the last few years
of his life, he never once complained. He
died as he lived, setting an example that love,
strong character, and an even stronger faith
can see one through anything. Lew always
said, “Love is the most important thing.”
He was a communicant of St. Brendan’s
Church and a faithful, loyal servant of the
Lord. He made sure to say grace each and
every night before dinner and taught his
friends to do the same.
Lew is survived by his loving wife of 21
years, Gerda (Möest) Melanson of
Columbia; a son, Scott Melanson and his
wife Mary of Wareham, Mass.; two stepsons, Siggi Ahrens and wife Karen of
Florida, and Ingo Ahrens and his wife Karen
of Colebrook; four brothers; six sisters; three
grandchildren; his next-door neighbors and
dear friends who he considered family, Scott
and Coralie Stepanian; and numerous nieces
and nephews.
He was predeceased by two daughters,
Kelly as a teenager, and Nicole; and two
brothers.
At Lew’s specific request, there are no
public services. A celebration of his life will
take place at a later date.
Expressions of sympathy in Lew’s memory may be made to the North Country
Community Recreation Center, 33 Rec
Center Rd., Colebrook, NH 03576
Funeral arrangements are under the direction of Jenkins & Newman Funeral Home in
Colebrook, and condolences may be offered
to the family on-line by going to www.jenkinsnewman.com.

Respite Grants
around the house were getting
done…things he no longer can do,” wrote
one grateful recipient from Caledonia
County.
Agency staff provide individual coaching during two or more home visits, and a
choice of telephone visits, video conferencing such as Skype, or appointments in
the agency’s St. Johnsbury, Hardwick or
Newport offices. The dementia respite
grant can pay for stress-reducing activities
for the caregiver such as a massage or
Reiki session, a gym pass, a lunch out
with a friend, or even a weekend getaway.
The agency also administers kinship
respite grants. Oakes explained these
awards as helping grandparents and other
relations raising children who are part of a
larger family group in which the parents
are suffering from drug abuse or who are
incarcerated. Intended for those who are
55 and older and raising grandchildren,
this respite grant is also designed to allow
a caregiver time to pay attention to his or
her own emotional and physical health
needs.
Information about how to apply for a
respite grant from Northeastern Vermont’s
Area Agency on Aging is available from
Nancy Oakes or Pam Smith at 800-6425119.
