INSIDE THE KINGDOM March 18, 2015 Section B – 20 Pages Glover talent raises money for library the Chronicle by Nathalie Gagnon-Joseph GLOVER — Over 70 people made it to Glover’s talent show and pie auction Saturday to benefit the Glover Public Library. “We set up 70 chairs and wound up having to set up more.” Toni Eubanks, the library director, said. “It’s always nice when that happens.” The 11-act set featured performances ranging from poetry to improvised instrumental music. First-time participants Hayley Lewis and Adam Cook’s performance of various silly songs caused giggling amongst the children in the audience. Karamae Hayman-Jones got on stage to play and sing one of her own compositions: “Keep on dreaming — keep on trying. Wipe those tears — quit that crying. Just know that it gets better.” People in the audience couldn’t help but tap their feet along with Jim Daniels’ banjo playing. After the first intermission, Gabe Harter decided to play a trick on the audience. He took some time to organize his music and do a few warm-up scales before launching into an original oboe piece he had supposedly been working on since last September. After a song filled with trills, scales, and staccatos, he revealed that the sheet music he had arranged before was simply a few white pages. “I just want to show the power improvised music has,” he said, and to him there was no better way to show that than a live display. The library trustees, the friends of the library, and Ms. Eubanks organized the show at the town hall. The friends of the library were mainly in charge of finding pie donors. “It’s never very difficult to find people,” said Stephan Cantor, a friend of the library. “It’s only a matter of thinking of who to ask.” Pies donated from various kitchens were lined up on either side of the town hall. Each one had its own bidding card next to it for the Emcee Randy Williams (back) looks on as Ira Karp drums away and his grandmother Elka Schumann (left), Sophia Cannizzaro and her brother Dante Letzelter-Smith (right) play along during the first act in the Glover talent show last Saturday. Photos by Nathalie Gagnon-Joseph silent pie auction. Justin Lander kicked off a live auction during the second intermission. The auction started tentatively, but after some encouragement from Mr. Lander, people laughed and joined in. Pies were on display on either side of the town hall for the pie auction at the Glover talent show last Saturday. “Are you here? Do you love children and books or not?” A few brave kids bid while discreetly eyeing their parents for permission. A key lime pie went for $21, eight small meat pies went for $26, and a big blueberry pie went for $35.50. The town covers $15,000 of the library’s $25,000 yearly budget, so fund-raising activities like the talent show are organized to raise the remaining $10,000, said Ms. Eubanks. She expected this talent show and pie auction to raise about $600. The town also contributes the location and utilities to the library so the entire budget goes towards programming like daycare and school visits, the summer reading program, summer outdoor movies, the book group for adults, and a downloadable book service that costs $300 per year, Ms. Eubanks said. Other fund-raising activities include the summer talent show, letters of appeal sent out in December, a book sale, and the adopt-a-book program. Around 8:30 p.m., bedtime came for most young families and their children, and the town hall emptied a bit. Sophia Cannizzaro recited a poem about being in love with a poet, then Howie Cantor came up to sing “She’s got no clothes on.” “Despite the title, I guarantee you I have vetted it through my own moral filter,” he said.

Page 2B Listen for that first sign of spring the Chronicle, March 18, 2015 Ruminations by Tena Starr The first sign of spring for me arrives courtesy of a neighbor. My bedroom is on the south side of the house, and I keep a window open slightly even in the worst of weather, to the dismay of Steve. He finds it mildly ridiculous that I insist on sleeping with an open window in January. But in March? In March, through that slightly open window, I can hear the low hum of a vacuum pump down the road, and I know that sugaring has started. It’s a welcome sound that means spring isn’t far off. It could mean spring is here, depending on your definition of spring. For me, spring is here when the peep frogs sing. But it’s not long away when I hear those pumps pulling sap from the maples. There’s a sugarhouse across the road that has been unused for some years. When it was owned by a different family it went into high gear about this time. At boiling time, the whole family was there. Small children ran around playing. Women sat in lawn chairs in the spring sun, in the snow, and played loud music on boom boxes, had a beer or two and chatted. I loved it. I was good with listening to Madonna at midnight. Winter is such a white, silent season that the boisterousness over there was refreshing. I could faintly smell maple, or thought I could. Weather, and sugaring, go on, and both, actually, are increasingly serious business. Making syrup was always work, just not the same kind of commercial venture that it is today. Once, for many, it was some extra money, not a livelihood. You boiled, friends and family stopped by and had a beer, or a hot dog cooked in sap. That’s not the way of it so much anymore, but it remains that sugaring is the start of spring, a farewell to the lock of hard winter. But maybe not this year. Being entwined with a meteorologist can lead to too much information. After an early morning on my computer, Steve cheerfully informed me that we’re likely in for a long, slow spring. He said, eh, we’ll get three, four inches of snow, and it will melt, and then we’ll get three, four more, and then it will melt, and Sugaring the old-fashioned way. maybe a bit more, but it’s going to be a while. He’s well aware this is nothing I want to hear. I want to open all the doors and windows, go barefooted, haul my computer out to the porch to work, and see a color that isn’t white. I want to go to anywhere south of the Mason Dixon Line until that happens. He and I share a fascination with thunderstorms, wind, and floods, but we are not on the same page when it comes to cold. We were driving home from Boston in late February, and he was uneasy. If we get through this one day without the temperature going above freezing, February will have set a record, he said. 24/7 Emergency Service • 0% financing to Qualified Buyers • Free Energy Audits & Much more. • Water Systems • Plumbing & Heating • Cooling • Sales • Installation & Repairs • Commercial & Residential • Diesel Fuel • Heating Fuel • Kerosene • Super, Unleaded & Regular Gasoline • Propane Sales & Service NEWPORT - (802) 766-4949 Temporary office: 565 Union St., Newport, VT LYNDONVILLE - (802) 626-3378 4920 Memorial Dr., Lyndonville, VT MORRISVILLE - (802) 888-3827 231 VT Rte. 15W, Morrisville, VT www.callfreds.com • “Where we service what we sell!” Photo by Tena Starr I didn’t have anything to say to that. Rooting for cold? So tough luck for me — no chance of hearing peepers on March 31 this year. (That’s the earliest they’ve ever been out in the near 30 years that I’ve lived here.) But it sounds like good news for sugarmakers. A long, slow spring generally means it will be an extended sugaring season. My family farmed but didn’t sugar, so I came late in life to maple. Oh, we seemed to have maple syrup. At one time I must have had Aunt Jemima somewhere because I distinctly remember the chemical taste, but we mostly had the real thing. We just didn’t make it ourselves. But for years now, my son and I have made our own supply. He puts up a few buckets, and we boil sap on the wood stove, finishing it off on the gas range. The syrup is always dark, but it tastes good. I’m not sure that, given the amount of propane that goes into this endeavor, we’re saving money. That’s not the point, though. It simply strikes me that it’s a good idea to know how to do it, and to do it yourself if you can. We are not efficient, or professional. Sometimes it rains and the wind blows, and the covers blow off our buckets, adding rainwater to thin sap. Sometimes we have too much sap for the containers we have to boil it in, and we have to leave some outside. But we generally make enough syrup out of it to get us from season to season. We don’t use a lot of syrup, actually. Mostly it goes into salad dressing and marinade for venison. But I do make maple granola sometimes, and this is a favorite recipe. Maple granola 4 cups rolled oats 1 cup shredded coconut 1 cup sunflower seeds 1 cup pumpkin seeds 1 cup slivered almonds 1 cup pecans, roughly chopped 1 cup syrup 1 cup dried cranberries 1/2 cup olive oil Preheat oven to 325°. Combine the dry ingredients in a big bowl, pour the syrup and olive oil into it, and mix thoroughly. Add a generous pinch of salt and bake, stirring every 15 to 20 minutes until it’s golden brown. It takes about an hour. contact Tena Starr at [email protected] sudoku solution the Chronicle, March 18, 2015 A farewell to Bushwhacker Yours from the Perimeter by Paul Lefebvre I was on the camp roof pushing off snow with a scoop when the impact of Bushwhacker’s death finally caught up with me. I dumped another load of snow over the edge and let the memory settle in. Years ago he had brought the scoop with us into camp to do the roof, and over the strenuous objections of his wife, Kathy, left it there. I took a break and looked the woods over from the heights of the roof: All white and green except for a few withered brown leaves. It wasn’t the first time someone’s death came so swiftly to mind, a few weeks after the fact. When Count died an empty pack of Camels in the back of the truck released a memory of the day we drove a few miles up a snowmobile trail before realizing our mistake. And a few weeks after Little Wolf died I found a spent .44 cartridge off the trail to the outhouse where he frequently used to shoot. Until people I knew started dying, I had no idea how off-handedly life would remind me of their absence. Neither Kathy nor I knew when Bushwhacker had died; it was either the last day in February or the first day in March. She had awaked to find him dead in his chair and, by the time I arrived, she and another friend, Bruce, were making the final arrangement. “I want you to take his beer with you, Paul,” she said, as I was getting ready to leave. “I don’t want it in here any more.” Like most of us Bushwhacker had his faults, and some would say more than his fair share. In word and deed, he could take irony to a malicious level, and he was a difficult man to see straight on. Often he wore a handgun in a shoulder holster and took perverse delight making people feel uptight. He lost old friends quicker than he made new ones. “You still hang out with him?” people used to say during the latter years of his life. “Why?” “Because I can,” I’d say, without offering any more. Long after Rocky — my companion until her death — refused to have anything to do with him, I still included him in the rounds I made through town on a Saturday morning drive to pick up my mail. Friendships, like old habits, can be difficult to explain. I had simply known him too long to let go. “Fever,” he’d say, sitting at the table with a glass of beer in front of him. “Where you playing today?” He and I first met because we were in love with the same high school girl. Since I was seven years older than him, the advantage was in my favor. When he married his first wife and lived in Massachusetts, they would visit Annie and me in Newark whenever they were in the area. Neither one of our marriages survived, and years went by before Bush again came into my company. By that time, he was living once more in IP and had earned a reputation in the building trades of being “a man’s man” — someone who could build, wire, and plumb. That was the man I knew when I hired Bush and two pals from town to transform a gutted, cold-water, kerosene-lit farmhouse into a home in the woods for Rocky and me. Bush did all the plumbing and wiring, and most of the finish work. Later he built us cabinets and a wood box on wheels, using leftover pieces of hardwood flooring. I don’t know at what point he became a presence in my life. He started coming to camp off and on — hardly ever spending the night. Some winters when Rocky and I spent a month traveling through the South, Bush would stay at the house and keep the fires. Once when we returned home late and unexpected, we caught him sleeping on the couch. Bending over to wake him, I saw his hand disappear under the pillow. “It’s okay, Bush,” I said, grabbing his hand. “It’s us.” He shook the sleep out of his eyes. “It’s a good thing,” he said, pulling a handgun out from under the pillow. No one ever knew what to expect from him, and when people asked how he got the name, Bushwhacker, he would unfailingly reply: “Ask Fever, he knows.” There was no easy answer. When someone did ask, I had a pat answer. “Hang around him awhile and you’ll see.” As a friend, he could be embarrassingly generous and loyal. Once when I stuck something in my eye at camp while wrestling on the ground with the Indian, Bush intervened with threats far out of proportions to what we had been doing. “If you hurt him, I’ll kill you,” I heard him say as I washed out my eye over the sink. With Bushwhacker you never knew. He often struck me as a man who had lost the sense of who he was by playing one prank, one goof too many. In hindsight, our friendship was cemented Page 3B when I helped him out of a bind by loaning him a thousand bucks. We both knew that without the loan, he would have lost what arguably was his most prized possession — a custom-built, stainless steel .45 handgun. He repaid the loan with help from his father and by building me a woodshed, worth far more than what was owed. I offered to pay him but he repeatedly shook his head. Until the world began closing in on him, he was not an easy man to help nor would he even go so far as to take your hand when he toppled off the trail and landed in the snow with his snowshoes pointing to the sky. After a few rejections, I would leave him floundering in the snow and continue on to the truck, where I waited with the motor running. He invariably showed up. Since Bush introduced me to shoveling off the camp roof with a scoop, that’s all I use. Without expecting it, he managed to get one final word this time around when Rose — who had made her second trek into camp within a week — asked how deep the snow was on the roof. She looked for a stick to toss up to me, but couldn’t find one in the woodshed. I finally remembered. “There’s one just to the left of the big window, leaning up against the bench,” I said. I had seen it earlier on my way to the roof. A small, young spruce whose branches had all been cut save one at the very tip. The remaining branch had been whittled down to a fine edge on both sides. Years ago when he demonstrated its use on the high grass around camp, I told him we ought to market it. “We’ll call it the Bushwhacker stick,” I said. “It cuts both ways.” The stick’s scything properties have long since vanished but it has lain around for years — too long to burn, too short to cut. I stuck the fat-end first into the snow and marked the measurement with my fingers to show Rose. “About three feet,” she said. “Maybe a little more.” Get started on your master’s degree this summer!

Page 6B the Chronicle, March 18, 2015 Obituaries Bryce Wilson of Craftsbury died on March 9, 2015, after living a long life of quiet dignity. It is said that one cannot choose how to die, but one can choose how to live. Mr. Wilson was born on August 4, 1934. He was a lifelong educator. His career in education spanned almost 40 years. After stops in Derby and Hardwick, he ultimately planted his roots in New Jersey, where he was employed by the Waldwick Board of Education for 34 years. As a guidance counselor, teacher and coach, he touched the lives of countless children. His calming manner will be remembered by all who came in contact with him. His subtle wit and wry sense of humor were his hallmarks. In 1959, he and his wife, Audrey, moved to New Jersey settling in the picturesque Cupsaw Lake section of Ringwood. They raised four children, and upon retirement the couple returned to the family farm in Craftsbury and Bryce Wilson opened the Whetstone Brook B&B. Mr. Wilson’s wife could often be found in her kitchen telling the guests about her cherished AGA stove. Mr. Wilson would regale the guests with tales of his nine grandchildren, or the town history of Craftsbury, or pretty much anything else. He could converse with people from all walks of life. Before his illness, he was an avid golfer. He played two or three times a week…and never got better at it. He had a love-hate relationship with the game. Several years ago, his clubs were, shall we say, mercifully liberated from the bed of his truck in the wee hours of the morning. He was quoted as saying, “I hope those clubs cause whoever took them as much trouble as they caused me!” Anyone who has ever played with him knows that would be pretty tough to do. He is survived by his wife of nearly 57 years, Audrey; his daughter Lisa Sedore and her husband, Tom, of Craftsbury; his John G. Hunter John G. Hunter, 74, of Holland died on March 12, 2015, in Newport. He was born on March 26, 1940, in Melrose, Massachusetts, to Graydon and Edith (Lomas) Hunter. He was veteran with the u.S. Marines. He was owner of the former Gantries Bar in Newport and he was a self-employed tile layer for many years. He enjoyed playing checkers, sailing, and riding motorcycles. He is survived by his son Daniel Webster and his wife, Megan, of Coventry; two grandchildren: Noah and Addie Webster; his brother David Hunter and his wife, Linda, of Newport Center; and by his caregivers: David and Cathy Godfrey of Holland, where he lived for five years. A graveside service will be held in the spring with full military honors at the West Village Cemetery in West Charleston.

MLS# 4387110 the Chronicle, March 18, 2015 Meals on Wheels drivers sought The Area Agency on Aging for Northeastern Vermont seeks good drivers with clean records to deliver its hugely popular Meals on Wheels. The most critical need is in northern Orleans County, southeastern Essex County, and southern Caledonia County. Each route is different and varies with the number of seniors who depend on these healthy menus so they can continue to live in the comfort of their homes. “We’re asking you to try it once by going out with an established driver,” said Jerri Ryan, volunteer engagement coordinator. “The reward of connecting with grateful individuals is immeasurable.” This extensive roster of transporters throughout the Northeast Kingdom’s 2,027 square miles is a vital safety net that enables the region’s elders to stay in familiar surroundings and at a cost considerably less than if they were to go live prematurely in a care facility, she explained. The agency also seeks drivers for Pets for Life, a program that delivers donated food for cats and dogs to Meals on Wheels diners with companion animals. The Agency also needs to expand its substitutes list in order to provide regular drivers with time off. “Volunteers who need a flexible schedule find route substitution ideal,” Ms. Ryan said. “Some do it on their days off from working their regular jobs. Others do it when their kids are out of school, and may bring them along to help in the deliveries.” Each driver receives mileage reimbursement. The typical delivery from a senior meal site, where the nutritious repasts are prepared, lasts about 90 minutes, taking drivers to 15 different homes. “Try it,” Ms. Ryan added. “You just might like it.” Jerri Ryan can be reached at 1800-642-5119. — from the Area Agency on Aging.

Page 10B the Chronicle, March 18, 2015 Crankies in West Glover March 20 The Museum of Everyday Life in Glover presents “Banners and Cranks NEK,” an evening of cantastoria and cranky performances, at Parker Pie in West Glover on Friday, March 20 at 7:30 p.m. Witness an old art form re-imagined as performers from across the country offer up contemporary cantastoria and cranky performances in Vermont. Cantastoria is the Italian word for an ancient performance form, which involves pictures, live music, and sung narration. Crankies are pictures on a scroll moved by means of a hand-cranked mechanism. This is a living and breathing folk performance practice that has found its own particular place alongside the technology and media of the twenty-first century. The evening features Anna Roberts-Gevalt and Elizabeth Laprelle, renowned folk musicians dedicated to the mountain music tradition, bringing a captivating mix of ballads and foot-stomping dance tunes illustrated by hand-sewn crankies and painted banners, all the way from Virginia. Local performers Adam Cook, Modern Times Theater, Clare Dolan, and Meredith Holch round out the evening with cantastoria and cranky stories of mayhem, crime, heroism, inspiration, and mischief. Some special surprise guests will also join the performance. The cost is $15 at the door, but cheaper for anyone who is broke — no one will be turned away. Friday’s performance follows one on Thursday night, March 19, at The Lamp Shop in Burlington.

Ex. 3/18 Page 20B the Chronicle, March 18, 2015 Gardner Park restoration fund reaches $10,000 The Gardner Park Restoration (GPR) group has been busy fund-raising as part of a continued effort toward putting in a brand-new custom playground at the park. GPR committee members recently reached a total amount raised of $10,000 with a $2,000 deposit at the March committee meeting. Recent GPR fund-raisers have included a wrestling show, a craft fair with a quarter auction, and Bingo. The 2015 Ice Out is currently underway. Guess when the ice will go out. The closest guess to the actual date and time wins 50 percent of the pot. All proceeds benefit the Gardner Park Restoration Project. This year, it’s “Olif on the Ice” and he’s waiting on the Gardner Park bay for that fateful moment when the ice gives way and he is returned to his liquid state beneath the gentle ripple of Memphremagog. Don’t miss your chance to win big bucks and support a great cause by guessing when the ice will go out. For tickets, call 334-6345, or visit the Newport Municipal Building, Hoagie’s at Waterfront Plaza, or Little G’s Deli on Main Street. The cost is $3 per ticket, $5 for two tickets, or $10 for five tickets. The deadline to submit entries is 4:30 p.m. on Friday, March 20. If anyone has any questions or would like more information on upcoming events, please feel free to e-mail [email protected], or join the Gardner Park Restoration group on Facebook. The committee is always looking for new, dedicated volunteers or committee members. If interested, please contact them at the above e-mail address. — submitted by Jennifer Smith.
