Freidin was arrested for leaving the scene of an accident. Freidin was transported back to the VSP New Haven Barracks where he was photographed, finger printed and released on a citation.

Police reported that after the arrest of Luke Freidin, John Freidin, 73, of Middlebury arrived at the scene and was subsequently arrested for disorderly conduct.

Stampede promises to be record breaking

By Lou Varricchio lou@addison-eagle.com BRISTOL Ñ The 21st annual Three-Day Stampede toward the Cure for Cystic Fibrosis is just around the corner and 2014 is shaping up to be a year of record breaking yard sale donations.

“As of today we have collected over five tractor-trailer loads full of everything from furniture to home dŽ cor to sporting goods for your shopping pleasure. SaturdayÕ s drop-offs alone filled a 48-foot-long trailer leaving us scrambling to store the remainder of the items,Ó according to founder and organizer Bonita Bedard.

A Monday morning phone call to Roger Paquette of PaquetteÕ s Self Storage (Platinum Sponsor) remedied that and another trailer was dropped off later that day. Ò We know that our last Saturday dropoff was a busy one based on the number of phone calls, e-mails and Facebook messages that we have responded to. People donÕ t want to miss their opportunity to get rid of

This year’s 21st Annual 21st Annual Three-Day Stampede toward the Cure for Cystic Fibrosis in Bristol promises to break previous records for donations.

His hard work, dedication and enthusiasm can never be replaced and will never be forgotten.Ó Holmes Jacobs, a friend and former employer of Adam at Two Brothers Tavern, reiterated how big a loss AdamÕ s death was to the community. Ò Adam was a wonderful individual. He was a devoted and loving husband, father and friend.

Learn about early clocks at the John Strong Mansion

By Lou Varricchio

lou@addison-eagle.com ADDISON Ñ The Vermont Daughters of the American Revolution announced that a special event has been scheduled at the John Strong Mansion Museum on Sunday, Aug. 3. There will be two presentations on the early clocks in the MansionÕ s collection; one at 11 a.m. and one at 2 p.m. Fred Ringer, a local clock expert, who volunteers his expertise to keep the Mansion clocks in running order, will be the presenter.

Ringer has been a member of the Vermont-based Green Mountain Time Keeper Society, Chapter 109, of the National Association of Watch and Clock Collectors for over 35 years. He is a Vergennes native and a self-taught clock expert and collector. He is a mechanical engineer by trade and his primary interest is in wooden works clocks and cases. Ò I am always excited to learn the history of how a clock is made and to learn about the makers and owners of the clock throughout its life,Ó according to Ringer. He will be joined by another GMTKS member, David Welch, who is also an active member of NAWCC and owner of the Clock Shop located on Green Street in Vergennes, Vermont. Welch has been repairing clocks for over 30 years and can repair clocks of any age and any type.

There will also be an opportunity for those attending the presentations to have one of the clock experts examine a personal clock or watch. David, Fred and other members of the GMTKS will provide any information they can about personal time pieces. They can provide the approximate age and perhaps maker of a piece, information on the general construction and place of origin.

If you have a large clock, which you are not able to bring with you, bring a photo and any information you may have about the clock. The presenters will not be able to provide a value appraisal, but will give advice on whether or not the piece is worth restoring if necessary.

Admission will be $7 per person.

Viewpoint

From the Editor

uring the 1980s, I attended a leadership workshop. IÕ ve forgotten the name of the individual who delivered the workshop, but one segment of the day included a fun and unusual approach looking at life as a Great Escape; the gist of it will always stay with me: essentially, the office—and life for that matterÑ always comes down to Ò The Great EscapeÓ (the motion picture, not the amusement park).

For those not familiar with the title, Ò The Great EscapeÓ is American director John SturgesÕ 1963 motion picture about the true mass escape of allied prisoners from the German Stalag Luft III POW camp located in Poland during World War II. This classic Hollywood movie packs a powerful punch with several memorable performances from the likes of actors Steve McQueen, Richard Attenborough, James Garner and Charles Bronson, to name a few of this best-ever big-screen ensemble cast.

The ‘80s workshop leader posited that, no matter what the place or social situation, personalities always sorted themselves along the lines of the screen characters in Ò The Great EscapeÓ (actually composites of real POWs).

HereÕ s a run down of the players and their characters; male or female, you may recognize a few of your coworkers (or yourself) along the way: •Steve McQueen, “the Cooler King”: He is the badboy of the office, school, family or group of friends. Always cool, always breaking the rules, always taking risks; needs to be frequently cooled off. HeÕ s the key guy, always out-infront. DonÕ t be surprised if the Cooler King attempts to leap barbed wire fences while riding a motorcycle (well, at least Steve McQueen tried it in the movie).

•James Garner, “the Scrounger”: He’s the guy who hordes stuffÑ like family treasures or maybe office supplies. Will trade if you have something he wants. Can fly under the radar but has one major flaw: rarely checks his personal fuel gauge before crossing the proverbial Alps. (Sadly, the last of the movieÕ s great lead actors, Garner just passed away just last weekend at the age of 85).

•Richard Attenborough, “Big X”: The true brains of the organization. Brusk, demanding .

Lake Champlain searched for missing 1971 jet

By James Whitcomb Special to the Eagle

ADDISON Ñ New search efforts will begin this month for the missing private jet that disappeared into Lake Champlain in the winter of 1971 that was carrying two crew members and three passengers.

A new high-tech search using modern techniques, sophisticated side-scanning sonars, underwater vehicles and a submarine will take place. This search will be a combined effort between the New York State Police, New York Department of Environmental Conservation, and Vermont State Police. Boating traffic in the search area will be restricted during search operations.

On the evening of Jan. 27, 1971, a 10-passenger, twin engine, private jet left from Burlington on a flight to Providence, Rhode Island during a snow storm.

The Rockwell Jet Commander, N400CP, owned by real estate agency CousinÕ s Properties of Atlanta, Georgia, had appeared at around 5,000 feet on one radar blip then was gone on the very next sweep just seconds later.

Early the next morning, searchers in planes lead by the Civil Air Patrol were in the air in extremely cold temperatures. The lake still had open water but no fuel slick and no wreckage was spotted. Four days later the lake froze over, sealing any evidence under many inches of ice until the following spring.

In April 1971, small pieces of N400CP floated on shore in Shelburne, Vermont. As soon as most of the ice was off the lake, a search commenced for N400CP. However, a submarine, sonar, and infrared search of Lake Champlain turned up nothing.

When Malaysian Flight MH370 vanished on March 8, 2014, it sparked several individuals to reflect back on the disappearance of N400CP. In the weeks since early March a great many state and volunteer agencies and individuals have pulled together to plan a new search in the hope of finally solving Lake ChamplainÕ s greatest aviation mystery. These experts are bringing new search theories, techniques and technology to the current effort which combines several public and private organizations.

Further press releases will be provided as we approach the time of the search and Subject Matter Experts will be made available at times that will not compromise the mission.

In the words of New York State Police Captain John Tibbitts, “The goal is to locate and recover the remains to finally bring closure to these families.Ó Vermont State Police Lieutenant James Whitcomb states, Ò The Vermont State Police and New York State Police SCUBA Teams regularly train together. We are looking forward to partnering with NYSP and others in this search to resolve this tragic incident.Ó The agencies working in a unified command for the search of N400CP have completed their current operations.

Approximately 15 square miles of the Lake bottom were successfully searched using state of the art equipment provided

New search efforts will begin this month for the missing private jet that disappeared into Lake Champlain in the winter of 1971 that was carrying two crew members and three passengers.

by experts from multiple agencies and volunteer groups.Techniques used included towable side scanning sonar, advanced autonomous underwater vehicles, remotely operated vehicles, a manned mini submarine and divers.

While no definitive evidence of the aircraft was located the case remains open and the search will continue in a Ò limited and continuousÓ basis. New information from the public has come forward during this operation. These leads will be evaluated by investigators. Further operations may be initiated after a complete consideration of the data collected during this operation. Ò Searchers have had a great opportunity to deploy new technology in hopes of brining closure to the families of those missing.Ó Vermont State Police Lt. James Whitcomb said. Ò Searchers were inspired by family members of missing pilot George Nikita, who came to the area to witness the operation.Ó The unified command of Vermont State Police, New York state

Cuomo: “North Country is coming back big time” New York Gov. promotes tourism, state unity in Adirondack Challenge

By Pete DeMola

pete@denpubs.com INDIAN LAKE Ñ Behind a wall of white-speckled foam, a raft rounded a bend, and its bluehelmeted occupants came into view. Ò Row faster,Ó said a paddler. Ò TheyÕ re gaining on us.Ó Link, a river guide leading a team of reporters down the confluence of the Hudson and Indian Rivers, glanced upstream. Ò Short forward strokes,Ó he said. Ò All together now.Ó The raft glided over the Gooley Steps and picked up speed. Ò Stroke! Stroke! Stroke!Ó said the team captain.

The press corp stroked, passing a team of rivals, another media contingent, drifting idly in a dead zone.

Team Cuomo, a raft carrying New York State Governor Andrew Cuomo, Sandra Lee, his companion, and their two children had sent the media off earlier from the launch point with a gauntlet of good-natured splashing, including helmets full of water from a gleeful administration official.

They were gaining, creeping uncomfortably forward down the rapids.

Team Essex County Ñ a raft containing Board of Supervisors Chairman Randy Douglas, County Attorney Dan Manning and Wilmington and Elizabethtown Supervisors Randy Preston and Noel Merrihew Ñ remained comfortably at a distance. Ò I think weÕ ll have the winning advantage,Ó observed Preston before the launch. Ò The light will bounce off DouglasÕ head into the GovernorÕ s eyes.Ó Reporters powered ahead under Grade 3 conditions, part of a flotilla of rafts, one released every minute.

Team Cuomo never caught up. Ò You guys were strong,Ó Cuomo said afterwards. Ò You did it.Ó CHALLENGE Governor Cuomo was in Indian Lake for the 2014 Adirondack Challenge, the second installment of the event series — part tourism promotion, part legislative field trip — designed to draw attention to the Adirondacks by shuttling delegations from the state legislature up to the North Country and pitting them against each other in a bout of good-natured athletic events.

Paired with a public invite to area amenities, the goal was to boost the region’s profile across the state.

The three-mile rafting trip, coordinated by local river guides, took elected officials, including heavyweights like Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver and State Senate Coalition Co-Leader Jeff Klein, through a slice of the 69,000 acres of recently acquired tracts from Finch Pruyn that will soon be available for public use.

Department of Conversation Region 5 Director Bob Stegeman said his agency is looking forward to crafting a Unit Management Plan that will balance ecology with the economy. Ò ItÕ s paramount in protecting our natural resources,Ó he said.

increased opportunities for his business, the smallest rafting guide service in the area. Ò ItÕ s great to be part of this celebration,Ó he said.

PLAYFUL COMPETITION The state-organized competitions, which also included fly-fishing, golfing and hiking, were friendly but with streaked with undercurrents of intra-county North Country rivalries. Ò Make sure your headline reads, Ô Franklin County Wins,Õ said Franklin County Legislature Chairman Billy Jones. Ò We had super-soakers.Ó Jones echoed other lawmakers in the importance of the GovernorÕ s appearance.

“Any time the top official in the state comes to our region, itÕ s really a good thing,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s fantastic,Ó added Hamilton County Chairman Bill Farber.

He said many seasonal visitors are unaware that rafting is a summertime activity, not limited only to the spring melting season.

www.addison-eagle.com Ò JulyÕ s a great time to do it, and I couldnÕ t be happier.Ó Like the promotional boosts that came before, including a Winter Challenge this past March in Lake Placid, Cuomo invited lawmakers from across the state to participate.

Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow (89th, Mt. Vernon) said he was happy to be back in the Adirondacks after four months downstate. Ò ItÕ s still the most beautiful part of New York,Ó he said.

Pretlow said he didnÕ t realize how much work rafting entailed. Ò I think we had the best time,Ó he said, referring to his teamÕ s speed.

His crew was organized by legislative committees, said Assemblywoman Addie Russell (116th, Watertown), not by region. Ò Four of the six of us were together last year,Ó she said. Ò ItÕ s a great resource,Ó said Assemblywoman Michaelle Solages (22nd, Nassau County), who was also on their team. Ò People can go on a staycation right here in the Adirondacks.Ó Assemblyman Dan Stec, the North Country leader who represents much of the North Coun-

try alongside Janet Duprey, the 115th District Assemblywoman from Peru, said the trip also served a practical purpose. Ò ThereÕ s a great value in our fellow lawmakers knowing what we have while debating local issues,Ó he said. Ò ItÕ s tremendous.Ó Hugh Farley, the state senator representing Indian Lake, said that as someone who grew up in the area, itÕ s an honor to see the stateÕ s highest elected official step forward. Ò ItÕ s wonderful infusion of attention to the Adirondacks,Ó he said.

John Davidson, owner of the Glens Fallsbased brewery Davidson Bros. Brewing Company, said CuomoÕ s policies have been helpful in accelerating the craft beer industry in the region, namely through a community block development grant that allowed his company to start selling their product in cans and an unraveling of arcane policy that was still on the books. Ò HeÕ s been a huge promoter of our industry,Ó he said. Ò HeÕ s really helped change some of the legislation to our benefit.” Ô VALUABLE JEWELÕ Vermont Governor Peter Shumlin, who participated with his family, said it was a real privilege to be in the Adirondacks. Ò We share the best lake in the country,Ó he said. Ò This is an opportunity for both [states] to show what a valuable jewel this is.

Shumlin said New YorkÕ s North Country reminded him of VermontÕ s Northeast Kingdom. Ò People here are the most hardworking, rugged and industrious people in the world,Ó he said. Ò I donÕ t know of anyone else who can create opportunity out of such tough circumstances.Ó In comments introducing the Governor, State Senator Betty Little, Chairwoman of the Tourism Committee, upgraded CuomoÕ s designation from what she had previously deemed the areaÕ s Ò Number One TouristÓ to the Ò number one tourism promoter, a hero and an honorary North Country member, a person who is truly for us in Albany.Ó Little said the Governor has been tireless in urging millions of tourists from New York City to visit the Adirondacks. Ò ItÕ s not far of a drive, a wonderful challenge,Ó she said. Ò Tourism is our business. The more people come, the more business will prosper and continue to grow.Ó The senator, who represents much of the Adirondack Park, encouraged state residents to relocate their small businesses to the North Country and cited the importance of high speed internet access and broadband. Ò We need more year-long residents to come to our community to make a sustainable economy,Ó she said. Ò Governor Cuomo knows what our needs are.Ó Little also cited the importance of local agriculture and food production.

New York, she said, ranks second in maple syrup production. Ò LetÕ s get to number one,Ó she said.

Other lawmakers, including Senator AndreaStewart Cousins (35th, Westchester) and Independent Democratic Conference Leader Jeff Klein (Bronx/Westchester) shared similar sentiments: Ò This is what makes sense,Ó Klein said. Ò ThereÕ s a disconnect between upstate and downstate, and this should have happened a long time ago Ñ weÕ re one New York.Ó Klein, who leads a group of breakaway Dem-

July 26, 2014 ocrats who have aligned with Republicans in the state senate, couldnÕ t resist alluding to the potential deal with the Governor earlier this deal to wrangle them back into Democratic control.

Last year, he said, Republicans and Democrats were put in the same raft. Ò Maybe next year, theyÕ ll be a difference in how the rafts are distributed,Ó he said.

GOVERNORÕ S SPEECH Cuomo called Shumlin a good friend and neighbor and extolled both his record as the stateÕ s commander and chief and advocate for the North Country and urged lawmakers to come together.

Each region has itÕ s own personality, he said.

The state isnÕ t homogenous and representatives canÕ t be effective unless they are receptive to each othersÕ needs. Ò To have everyone together is important,Ó he said. Ò It shows weÕ re committed to one state, the state of New York.Ó The Governor, echoing his speech at the Winter Challenge to lawmakers and dignitaries in March, stoked similar fires, recalling the emergent spirit, energy and vitality of the region and circled back to jobs and exposure as a lynchpin to the North CountryÕ s success. Ò If we create jobs, everything else will take care of itself,Ó he said.

He ticked off a series of statistics: A $40 million advertising campaign led to $4 billion in revenue for the state, a new record, he said. Eight million new tourists. Four-hundred and sixty thousand new jobs since the end of the recession; $2 billion tax surplus in state coffers, four years of balanced and on-time budgetsÉ a recent boost in the stateÕ s credit rating that has led to its highest ranking yet. Ò WeÕ ve broken every record established,Ó he said. Ò And this is just the beginning Ñ you ainÕ t seen nothing yet. The North Country is coming back big time.Ó Following the event, his office said in a statement, New YorkÕ s tourism industry generated direct spending of $59.2 billion in 2013, producing an estimated $7.5 billion in state and local taxes.

As the fourth largest employment sector in New York, the tourism industry also added 28,500 jobs in 2013 for a total of 832,500 jobs and generated more than $17.96 billion in wages, said the statement.

ItÕ s unclear what the exact breakdowns are for the Adirondacks.

AWARDS And of course, there were the awards, most of which were backslapping references to the clubby climate in Albany.

Little was given the Ò Little Raft That Could,Ó and Silver was recognized as the Ò Best Rapids Negotiation Guide.Ó Cuomo and Shumlin apparently tied heading down the rapids, with both clocking in at 19 minutes, 20 seconds.

Silver, who had previously lauded Cuomo as Ò someone who feels comfortable here in the Adirondacks as in the concrete canyons of New York,” presented him with a red flotation device. Ò Our friends in the Assembly will always be there for you,Ó he said.

Shumlin received a crystal apple; Indian Lake Supervisor Brian Wells and Indian Lake Central Schools Principal David Snide received a flurry of recognition and plaques.

Proctor ends winless streak

www.addison-eagle.com

July 26, 2014

By Justin St. Louis

Special to the Eagle RUTLAND Ñ Ron Proctor waited nearly two years to carry a checkered flag at Devil’s Bowl Speedway, but the wait became worth it as the veteran driver won the double-points Rutland Herald Mid-Season Championship in dominant fashion on Friday, July 18.

Proctor headlined a list of winners that also included Bucko

Jamy Begor was a first-time Devil’s Bowl Speedway winner in the Renegade division, taking the Rutland Herald Mid-Season Championship.

MemorEvents photo

Branham, Jamy Begor, and Chris LaVair.

The outcome of the 25-lap main event for the Bond Auto Parts Modified division was never in question, as Proctor’s No. 27 Charlton Oil/Timco Transportation Teo Pro car jumped from its outside-pole starting position to lead the opening lap, and was never challenged. It was the Charlton, N.Y., driver’s first NASCAR Whelen All-American Series victory since August 2012.

Runner-up Jason Durgan of Morrisonville, NY ran lap times nearly identical to ProctorÕ s throughout the well-driven, caution-free race, but was never able to mount a serious charge. Joey Roberts and Todd Stone waged a long battle for third place with Stone making several outside-lane attempts in the final laps, but Roberts held on for the spot. Stone was fourth with Johnny Scarborough fifth. Ò This was a long time coming,Ó two-time track champion Proctor said of the win. Ò You have to really enjoy these victories, because you never know when the next one is coming.Ó Proctor became the eighth different driver to win in 11 Modified races in 2014. Stone stretched his championship lead only slightly, and now paces Roberts by 37 points.

Bucko Branham of Plattsburgh, N.Y., used a much-improved car and a dash of luck to win the 30-lap Late Model feature. Branham led the opening laps before Joey M. Laquerre took over, but an ill-fated three-wide attempt at the lead by Emily Packard left her car in a dramatic crash with Jamie Fisher and Josh Masterson. Packard, Fisher, and Masterson entered the race separated by just nine points for the championship lead.

Laquerre survived heavy contact in the incident to retain the lead at the restart, but Branham overpowered him three laps later and sped to the win, the first of his career at Devil’s Bowl.

Fisher, of Shelburne, made a brilliant run through the field after restart in the back following the lap 15 crash to nip Jamie Aube at the finish line for second place by less than a foot. Robert Bryant, Jr., finished fourth, just ahead of Masterson.

Packard took sixth, while Laquerre suffered a flat tire late in the race and did not finish. Fisher took over the point lead, topping Masterson by three points and Packard by 10.

Long-time Airborne Park standout Jamy Begor hauled from the Canadian border town of Mooers Forks, N.Y., to make his first start of the season in the Renegade division, and ended up in victory lane. Begor stalked leader Jim McKiernan for the first 15 circuits of the 20-lap race before making his move, bringing Robert Gordon along with him. Gordon made a bid on the inside on the final lap, but a spin by a backmarker forced the caution flag to wave, freezing the field. Begor was scored as the winner with Gordon second and McKiernan third. Richard Lowrey, III and Dylan Rabtoy rounded out the top five.

Chris LaVair of Gabriels, N.Y., used a car borrowed from fellow competitor Dan Collins to take his second win of the season in the Central Vermont Motorcycles Mini Stock division. LaVair diced with brother Bobby LaVair in the early stages, but pulled away over the 20-lap distance. Point leader Chuck Bradford slipped by for the runner-up finish, followed by Bobby LaVair, Jake Noble, and John McCarron.

Innocent Vermonters will pay for Montpelier’s failure Ò According to a federal audit, thousands of Vermonters could face hefty tax penalties due to more errors in the Vermont Health Connect healthcare exchange system These potential fines are the result of more system Ô glitchesÕ that Ô failed to properly check applicantsÕ eligibility for coverage and subsidies.Õ Ó (Source: Some Vermonters in Health Care Exchange Could Get Dinged at Tax Time, vtdigger.com, July 2, 2014) Does the above quote outrage you? This is completely unacceptable and another indication of the incompetent administration of a program that is intended to lower health care costs for Vermonters, not increase them. (We also just read the news of the Vermont Health Connect website was hacked recently, exposing Vermonters personal data to possible identity theft.)

The response from the administration encouraging Vermonters to Ô save extra moneyÕ from their paychecks so they can pay the penalties shows no compassion or basic understanding of the hurdles this botched exchange, the stagnant economy and costly policies have created for working Vermonters, their families and their employers.

Vermont Republicans call on Governor Shumlin to take decisive action to bring long overdue and desperately needed lead-

ership to the agency and department responsible for this boondoggle. Secretary Racine and Commissioner Larson should be replaced with competent, expert managers.

The Shumlin administration has already spent about $75 million of taxpayer dollars on a system which was delivered late, poorly launched, weakly designed, and continues to reveal previously unnoticed faults -- months after its initial launch.

Vermonters deserve complete transparency and accountability from their state leaders. In the case of Vermont Health Connect, they are not getting either.

ItÕ s time for Governor Shumlin -- as the leader of his administration -- to take decisive action to correct the failures of the past and assure that Vermonters do not experience more of this mismanagement in the future.

Not another single taxpayer dollar should be spent on this troubled healthcare exchange without complete accountability for these past and present leadership failures.

Additionally, the leaders of the Democrat supermajority in our legislature should pledge to send Governor Shumlin a bill protecting every member of the exchange from any potential state tax penalty. ThatÕ s the least they could do after sitting back and

watching this fiscal train wreck happen.”

Vermont Republicans also call on U.S. Senators Leahy and Sanders, as well as Congressman Welch to immediately propose and pass federal legislation that protects Vermonters from IRS penalties resulting from errors, omissions, or other mistakes associated with VermontÕ s bungled health care exchange.

Vermonters have complied with the many onerous government mandates and deadlines -- and paid for the mismanaged website with their own tax dollars -- and should not be penalized in any way for the incompetence with which it was delivered.

What is most concerning is that without change, this same administration and the same legislative majority -- with this same leadership -- will be given authority over the entire healthcare system meant to serve all Vermonters.

Vermonters deserve much better than this. They deserve an administration and Legislature that is balanced and committed to effective stewardship of the trust and resources that Vermonters have placed in them.

ItÕ s time for a change.

David Sunderland Chair, Vermont Republican Party Rutland

Guest Viewpoint

Telling our town’s story; the time and effort paid off in dividends I needed something really engaging, yet simple... I designed the Ò One Room SchoolroomÓ presentation to be engaging, both visually, as well as to invite folks into the booth and to try their hands, once more, at writing in a more civilized form. ..

A sad, sign of the times also kept our booth busy, as a few years ago, elementary schools here in Vermont stopped teaching children how to write in cursive.

One of the permanent exhibits in the Orwell Historical Society Museum is our one-room schoolhouse display; there we teach kids how to write their names in cursive, rather than in print and the exhibit at the Vermont History Expo in Tunbridge was no exception.

I must have given a good two dozen Ò classesÓ to well over twice that amount of youngsters under age 13.

Boys had to be coaxed, yet, in direct contrast, girls took to it like flies to honey.

Two young men I will never forget: When I asked one 10-yearold boy if he knew how to write in script, he scrunched his nose and shook his head. Ò Okay,Ó I replied. Ò So, how would you like to learn a Ô secret codeÕ that you and your friends could read and write but, others would never be able to figure out...?” He wasted no time finding a seat.

At that point, he was eager to learn how to do it, as were the nearly two dozen other kids I invited into the booth to learn script writing throughout the day.

Like many of the children, heÕ d never written his name before in cursive...

In closing, despite OrwellÕ s great collection of period late 19th- and early 20th-century scholastic antiquity, it is important to note that this exhibit wouldnÕ t have been possible without the gracious donations of paint, building supplies and lumber from Jeff Lawson of Gilmore Home Center, in Castleton, and Jed LaPrise of Highland Ridge Traditions in Orwell.

Vermont History Expo 2014 is behind us. The Orwell Historical Society MuseumÕ s Ò One Room SchoolhouseÓ exhibit, a smaller version of a permanent display, may have only take a few weeks to prepareÑ and a solid week to design and buildÑ but if the comments in our guest book are any indication, the time and effort paid off in dividends.

Although attendance was noticeably lower in number compared to past years events, the response to our efforts was no less appreciative...

The real highlight to this yearÕ s Expo experience for us was a toss-up; for example, when an elderly visitor would be slowly making her way by and stopÑ the look on her face was nothing short of magical, as long forgotten memories would begin to reassemble and take form; she was once again back in the oneroom schoolhouse of her youth.

WeÕ d invite visitors to step into the exhibit, and theyÕ d comment, as if from the identical script repeated by previous visitors, that they, too, had sat in the same old school desks and used a dip well pen (two folks told of using graphite pencils on slate tablets similar to those we had on display).

A sheepish grin took form across the faces of a few older gentlemen as theyÕ d gloatingly admitted to dipping the pigtails of unsuspecting young girls, who were sitting in front of them in class, into the inkwells built into the desks. At least one person recounted the Ò whooping they got from not only their respective parents, but the teacher as well. (Surely a fate not feared for generations.)

A number of visitors would look at the Palmer Method cursive alphabet that hung along the picture rail, and would comment on how they learned to write that way; some admitting that it had been quite a while since they wrote so neatly, much less in carefully executed cursive script.

Since IÕ m a big fan of interactive, tactile displays that draw an audience in and invite visitors to touch and participateÑ I knew
