Chester Opens, Dedicates Jinxrel Memorial Skatepark Story by Joe Milliken-Editor Photos by Pam Nelligan Recently, on a sunny, Saturday afternoon in Chester, a very special

event and dedication took place in which a new skateboard park was

opened to the public at the Pinnacle Recreation Area on Lover's Lane.

Jinxrel Memorial Park was opened on

September 19, to honor the lives of Max Cancellieri and Shawn Forbes. The date was also Max’s birthday.

Shawn was a Chester boy who spent many afternoons with friends at the old skatepark,

“Today we dedicate the Jinxrel Memorial Skateboard Park to the children and the community of Chester, and to Max and Shawn and their families.”

Nelligan also thanked the many people who helped make this worthwhile project possible, including the local band The Aberation, as well as Mr. Jack Dowd for his amazing sculpture donation.

while Max was a gifted artist and skateboarder who also spent many hours riding the old Chester ramps.

Max also shared his love of skateboarding by helping many young riders learn the craft.

Also, through his art, he shared his belief in the power of love with countless young people around the world.

The opening of this special facitily is the culmination of several folks’ dedication, hard work and yes, love.

Launched over a year ago by Steve Nelligan, who is the Chester Recreation Director, he orginally planned the project which included everything from painting and putting up fences and signs, to phone calls and fundraising.

Others’ contributions included artist Nancy Ball, who created a painting of Chester for the first fundraiser, also Jay Spahr, Ben Cyr and Nick Woytuk, who designed the skatepark.

There is also Dan Zimmer, who built the park and Jack Dowd, who along with Anna Jonynas, gifted the park with an amazing statue and sign which names the facility.

And last, but certainly not least, there is Laurie Cancellierri, the mother whose love for her son and whose Jinxrel Foundation along with the Tony Hawk Foundation, gave the cornerstone donations to see the park completed.

During the opening ceremony, Nelligan spoke of the love and dedication which consumes the opening of the skateboard park.

“The name Jinxrel honors both Shawn Forbes and Max Cancellierri,” Nelligan stated.

“These two young men struggled with love and life, but their love of skateboarding only

Pregnancy & Infant Loss Support Event Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – Editor Chester ’s Fall Festival on the Green, held on September 19 and 20, was by all accounts a great success.

Sponsored by the Chester Rotary Club for the second year, it

featured over 60 booths from Vermont and New Hampsshire crafstmen and artists, along with several food concessions.

According to the Rotary Club, “many vendors expressed delight with the turnout and the amount of sales.

The Chester Rotary Club said they want to thank the vendors and “the large number of people who came out to the Village Green to wander around the booths and to purchase many of the products shown.”

For more information

about the Fall Festival, Chester Rotary or Rotary in general, email chesterrotary@gmail.com.

Hundreds of visitors came to Chester last weekend to enjoy the Fall Festival on the Green sponsored by the Chester Rotary.

Ron Patch Named Chester Citizen Of The Year By Masons At the recent meeting of the 11th Masonic District in Chester, Ronald Patch, president of the Chester Historical Society, received the esteemed Citizen of the

Year Award from Grand Master Thomas Johnston IV. The reasons for his selection were primarily due to his involvement in having the Civil War

Expo in Chester a couple years ago and his recent leadership in organizing the Founder's Day Celebration on August 29.

It was noted that his high energy and level of

committment to these projects more than justified his selection for this award and Olive Branch Lodge of the Masons regard him as a valuable asset.

Misty Valley Books Hosts Poetry Discussions With Michael Palma Michael Palma, returning to Misty Valley Books on the Green in Chester, will consider the poetry of Robert Lowell and Elizabeth Bishop on four Wednesday evening.

The series, beginning September 30, is entitled The Art of Losing. The free sessions will begin at 7 p.m.

Palma, an acclaimed poet and translator, led the discussions of Robert Frost’s poetry at Misty Valley Books in the summer of 2007 in a fourweek series called Frost

And last spring, Palma talked about Emily Dickinson, Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Edwin Arlington Robinson, and his own poetry.

This time, the series will feature readings from and discussions of the work of Robert

Lowell and his friend Elizabeth Bishop.

Palma’s own poetry has appeared in numerous periodicals and anthologies.

He has been awarded prizes for his translations from the Academy of American Poets and Columbia University He has collaborated with the National Endowment for the Arts and has written several teacher and reader guides for the NEA’s Big Read program.

He is also an essayist, editor, critic and

translator of other Italian poets, and his Inferno translation was reisssued last year as a handsome Norton Critical Edition paperback.

He lives with his wife, Victoria, in Bellows Falls.

The public is encouraged to attend all the sessions, but everyone is welcome at any of the evenings.

October Services At First Universalist Parish In Chester

61259

Two early October Sunday services are planned at First Universalist Parish of Chester, located on Route 103 in the historic Stone Village.

October 4 – Eating As an Ethical Act, led by Lucy Georgeff, lay speaker.

October 11 – Meeting Mohammad - Person and Prophet, led by Rev. Telos Whitfield.

This year at First Universalist Parish, the

school-age children in the religious education program, led by Madeline Bergstrom, are studying World Religions, and a series of the regular worship services will explore the same theme.

In the October 11 service, we will explore the transformation that occurred for Mohammad, his "unexpected" call to receive the revelations of the Qu'ran and to share its message, and ultimately to found

Islam. Through stories and research, the children and youth will gain a view of the society that Mohammad lived in during the 500-600's, who he was as a person, and the revelations he felt called to carry out.

What is the common ground that exists among people of varied religious traditions and spiritual beliefs? In the complicated, global environment we live in, the work of co-creating a more

peaceful world often begins with understanding and communication across religious and political lines.

Sunday services begin at 9:30 a.m. and are followed by refreshments and conversation.

Childcare is available for pre-school children. All are welcome.

Belly Dancing Classes At Grace Cottatge

Dr. Edward Mulhern, who has been in private practice family medicine in Townshend since 1987, has announced that he will be merging his practice with Grace Cottage Family Health.

Dr. Mulhern will continue to see his patients as before.

With the many changes occurring in the delivery of medical care during recent years (computerization, for example), Dr. Mulhern feels this is a prudent transition to make at this time. When he eventually retires, this

new arrangement will benefit his patients.

Beginning in October, Grace Cottage’s Dr. Alexandra Barstow will be seeing her patients at the combined facility, Dr. Mulhern’s office at 152 Grafton Road in Townshend, which will be known as Grace Cottage Family Health East.

A native of Kansas City, Missouri, Dr. Mulhern received his MD at the University of Missouri, interned in Family Practice at Worcester City Hospital in

Massachusetts, and completed his residency at the University of Massachusetts.

After practicing two years in Amherst, MA, he moved to Vermont and opened his practice in 1987.

For over two decades, he has shared “on call” rotations in Grace Cottage Hospital’s Emergency Room and cared for many swing bed patients at the hospital until recently, and he still oversees the medical care for hospitalized patients from his practice.

Dr. Barstow has been

with Grace Cottage Family Health since 2006.

A graduate of Harvard University and the University of Connecticut School of Medicine, Dr. Barstow completed her residency at the University of Vermont in 2004.

Currently, appointments with Dr. Barstow will still be made by calling 365-4331 and appointments with Dr. Mulhern can be made by calling 365-4318.

In photo, Dr. Barstow and Dr. Mulhern.

Townshend Prepares For 25th Annual Pumpkin Festival On October 17 Folks in Townshend are getting ready for the 25th Annual Pumpkin Festival, which will be held on Saturday, October 17.

The Townshend Common is the site of the festival, which goes from 9 a.m. until 4 p.m and will be the site of fun for children and adults alike.

To remember all the details that must come together to create a daylong event takes the combined effort of many people.

The Pumpkin Festival was started in 1984 by the Townshend Business Association as a fall festival, where both adults and children could have a good time. Today the 35+ member and other Townshend residents assist the committee in providing an excellent fall event.

The festival has evolved into a fun-filled day with a well attended craft show for adults, and a pumpkin decorating contest and a Halloween costume parade for area youngsters.

A free pumpkin is given to each youngster to decorate and prizeribbons are given for all the contests. A scarecrow decorating contest for all ages is also a favorite attraction and has produced some really scary scarecrows.

The craft show is always a big event and getting the word out to crafters in Southern Vermont is not an easy project. Different types of crafters are important so that the people viewing the Pumpkin Festival can enjoy the many different hand-

made products and food for sale. In addition to crafts, artists are invited to offer their oil paintings, watercolors and other works of art. Vendors interested in selling at the festival can contact Harold Kvitek at 3487913 or Walter Meyer at 365-4246.

In the past years the giant pumpkin contest has created a competition to see who can enter the largest locally grown pumpkin. A few entrants have produced 600 and 700 pound giants, which is really quite a large pumpkin. Besides seeing who has grown the largest pumpkin, there will be a weight guessing contest to guess the weigh of a giant pumpkin this year.

One of the projects of the Townshend Business

Association for the Pumpkin Festival is the baking and sale of pumpkin pies on the big day. TBA members are persuaded to bake their share of the 120 pies usually sold.

The preparation of the ingredients, getting the bakers and making sure we have boxes to package 120 pies can be quite a project. Pies are sold bythe-piece with whip cream or by-the-pie at the Pumpkin Festival.

There are free pony rides for youngsters, which are enjoyed by many of the younger attendees.

Youngsters participating are nursery school, kindergarten and elementary school age.

The Pumpkin Festival is supported by donations from over 60 local businesses.

Impact Of Immigration Is Topic Of First Wednesday Lecture At Brooks Memorial Library Amherst College professor Ilan Stavans will explore the impact that immigrants have had on American culture in a talk at Brooks Memorial Library in Brattleboro on October 7.

His talk, "Becoming Americans,” is part of

the Vermont Humanities Council’s First Wednesdays lecture series and takes place at 7 p.m.

Upcoming Brattleboro talks include “Daddy’s War” with Dartmouth College professor Irene Kacandes on November

4; “Hamlet Contemplates the Bust of Aristotle, or Was the Prince’s Education of Any Use to Him?” with Dartmouth professor Peter Saccio on December 2; and “Projecting Leadership: Art Used for Political

Ends” with Dartmouth art historian Jane Carroll on January 6.

For more information, contact the library at 2545290, the Humanities Council at 262-2626 , email info@vermonthumanities.o rg, or visit www.vermonthumanities.org.

Grace Cottage Hospital in Townshend will offer another session of its popular beginner belly dancing class on six Tuesdays, October 13 to November 17, from 6:15 to 7:15 p.m., in the Grace Cottage Hospital Community Room.

The cost for the class is $60 for six weeks or $13 per week.

Full of fun, laughter, mystery and joy, belly dancing is a great form of exercise for people of all shapes, sizes, and ages.

Participants will learn about the physical and mental health benefits of belly dancing, which include better posture, flexibility and coordination, and they will practice the basics of belly dance movement in a fun and

supportive environment.

The class will be led by Robin Rieske (visit www.shimmies.net for more information). Rieske has been dancing for over six years and is a member of Troupe Sahibat.

She lives in Brattleboro and works as a Substance Abuse Prevention Consultant for the Vermont Dept. of Health.

This class is open to participants of all ages. No experience is necessary.

Please check with your physician before registering if you have any medical issues which may interfere with this. Wear comfortable clothing, and if you have hip scarves bring them.

Class size is limited to the first 20 participants who register by calling 365-3649.

Get In The Game A View On Sports By Messenger Sports Editor Joe Milliken

The high school fall sports season is in high gear, so let's get right to it.

The Springfield High School football team bounced back from their first loss in over a year, by taking Woodstock to the woodshed in a 34-7 win at Woodstock.

Brandon Boyle and Matt Mitchell both returned from injuries to lead the way, with quarterback Boyle

throwing for three touchdown passes and running back Mitchell running for 184 yards.

Junior Billy Wheeler also caught all three touchdowns from Boyle, who was eight for 12 for 103 yards in the Cosmos victory.

The Cosmos are now 31 on the season while Woodstock dropped to 13.

--------------------------The Windsor High School Yellowjackets delighted their home crowd with a thorough thrashing of Montpelier, 54-0, at MacLeay-Royce Field in Windsor.

With the win, the Yellowjackets are now 40 on the season and have outscored their opponents by a whopping 191-12 margin.

Now that is what you call domination.

In fact, it took Windsor

mere seconds to score, with Austin Soule running back the opening kick off for a touchdown and it would be all down hill from there.

Windsor quarterback Gavin Callahan led the way with two touchdown passes and three more on the ground.

On top of all that, Callahan also intercepted a pass on defense, running it back 48 yards for yet another touchdown. Completing quite a day for the senior quartertback.

-------------------------The Bellows Falls Union High School football team made it three in a row after knocking off Oxbow, 4910, on the road in Bradford.

Senior Ben Hewitt was the star of the game, throwing two

touchdown passes, a two-point conversion and also ran back an interception 103 yards for a touchdown as time ran out in the half.

Ryan Hayward and Colton Bratton each ran for touchdowns in the first half, before Corey Sprague and Copper Long each ran for a touchdown in the second half.

Barry Wiegel ran back a kickoff 90 yards for another score, while also chipping in with a 23yard field goal to round out the scoring. (See photo on opposite page.)

--------------------------In soccer action, the Burr & Burton Academy girls’ soccer team recently got a tough win on the road over Otter Valley, 1-0.

Michaela Madden got the lone goal of the game near the end of the first half, on an assist from

Jenna Hoffman.

The lady Bulldogs dominated the play in this one despite the close score, out-shooting the Otters 17-0 in the match.

Despite the onslaught, Otter Valley goal keeper Erin Trombley did an outstanding job keeping the Bulldogs from doing further damage.

-------------------------In Rutland, the Lady Raiders girls’ soccer squad got two goals and an assist from Liz Douglas, while Caitlin Bucksbaum and Ali Dorion also added goals in a 4-0 shut out win over Mount Greylock of MA. Rutland out-shot Greylock 24-9 in the match while Raiders’ keeper Whitney Pratt made all nine saves to preserve the shut out.

-------------------------In boys’ soccer action, the Windsor Yellowjackets got their

first win of the year with a 5-0 shut out victory over Green Mountain, in Windsor.

The Jacks got a hat trick from Shawn McNew and one goal each from Tanner Dana and David Young in the victory.

Windsor goal keeper Devin Brassor only had to make five saves to preserve the shut out.

-------------------------In the Major Leagues, what appeared to be the Red Sox last chance at catching the Yankees in the division, went by the boards over the weekend as the Bronx Bombers handed it to the Sox, taking all three games and clinching home field advantage throughout the playoffs.

However, the Sox magic number (at press time) remained at three to get into the post season, and as Sox fans know, all you need to do is get in.

CHIEFTAINS, TERRIERS BATTLE TO THE END Story and photos by Joe Milliken, Editor The Bellows Falls Union High School boys' soccer team recently fought back from a twogoal deficit to scratch out a tie against the visiting Green Mountain Union High School.

The Chieftains came out of the gates fast and put a lot of pressure on the Terrier defense, with Rex Calabrese getting the first goal with a shot from the top of the box that just floated over the fingertips of BF goalie Chas Sobeleski for a 1-0 Green Mountain lead.

The Chiefs continued to control most of the first half play, resulting in Callabrese's second goal of the half, slamming a shot just inside the left post for a 2-0 Green Mountain lead.

However, the Terriers

kept working hard and with just over three minutes left in the half, Alfonso DeNoriega got BF to within a goal with a breakaway shot that just beat GM keeper Jacob Walker inside the left post.

In the second half, the Bellows Falls offense clicked much better and put a lot of pressure on Walker, forcing the sophomore net-minder to make several brilliant saves on break-away attempts by the Terriers.

In fact, Walker made no less than nine breakaway saves throughout the match, clearly keeping his team in the game. The terriers out-shot the Chiefs 25-9, despite the tie.

At right, Green Mountain’s Justin Vessey attempts to make a play as he wards off a Bellows Falls defender.

However, Bellows Falls coach Bethany Coursen continues to be encouraged with her teams' effort, despite the losses.

"We are a very young team and learning every day,” coach Coursen said before the game.

"Our younger players are gaining a lot of

Terriers Crush Oxbow

Text by Joe Milliken, Editor, photo by Doug MacPhee The Bellows Falls Union High School football team made it three in a row with a convincing, 49-10 win over Oxbow.

Ryan Hayward and Colton Bratton each ran for a touchdown in the first half while Corey Sprague and Cooper Long each contributed a touchdown in the second half for Bellows Falls in the win.

Lady Terriers Fall To Otter Valley Story and photos by Joe Milliken, Editor The Bellows Falls Union High School field hockey team suffered another tough loss, falling to a tough Otter Valley team, 4-0, in Westminster.

Are Butchers the New Rock Stars of the Culinary World?

Story by Robert F. Smith – Editor The New York Times in its July 8 issue this year, called them sexy, young idols, rock stars”, and the “emotional equivalent of an indie band.”

What were they referring to?

Butchers.

Yup, butchers are the new kings of the culinary world, and I think that’s awesome.

People are paying thousands of dollars to apprentice with butchers, butchering classes are packed to capacity all over the country, and universities and schools are offering butchering courses. There are tons of YouTube meat butchering and processing how-to videos getting thousands of hits. In fact, a series of YouTube videos of some highly skilled butchers in Argentina, who move with incredible grace and speed, have developed something of a following among viewers.

Who would ever have thought that butchering would become cool?

Personally, I’ve always been intrigued with butchering and processing my own meat, partly because I grew up doing what has become one of the strongest shifts in the food industry – raising one’s own meat in a humane way, and then processing it locally.

We filled a chest freezer or two every year with chickens and ducks we raised and slaughtered ourselves, and venison taken from the woods and fields around our rural home was a year-round part of our diet. Processing was done on the kitchen table.

Famed Chef Gordon Ramsay in his show The F Word, has been one of the most vocal proponents in the food world for raising your own food – and taking responsibility for

knowing where your food comes from.

If your only image of Ramsay is the screaming tyrant on his Hell’s Kitchen reality show, you’ll see quite a different man on The F Word. Check it out on BBCA. In The F Word (here the F word is food, of course, though Ramsay is a master of that other F word as well), Ramsay is a more easy going family man, determined that his several children know where their food comes from and how it gets on the table.

To that end Ramsay raises and processes his own turkeys, pigs and other animals, and he also hunts and processes wild meat, everything from venison and wild boar to squirrels and hares.

One of the frequent guests on The F Word is Hugh FearnleyWhittingstall, a British chef and food writer and a major advocate of the “real food” movement. With Ramsay and FearnleyWhittingstall, the killing and processing of animals is a regular part of The F Word, one of the few food shows that doesn’t shy away from graphically showing where meat actually comes from and how it gets to the table.

It’s that type of food show that is spearheading this change in the image of the butcher, along with growing interest in humanely and locally raised meat.

But the star status of celebrity

butchers is not just a modern phenomenon. I was recently reading a translation of the Chuang Tzu, an ancient Taoist text, and came across a fascinating section in the chapter “Mastery of Nurturing Life.” In it there are several paragraphs about a man who is butchering an ox for a king, and the king marvels at the skill of the butcher.

Like the Argentinian butchers in the YouTube videos, the carcass just seems to fall apart without effort because of the butcher ’s tremendous level of skill.

When the king expresses his admiration, the butcher says it’s not just his skill but also the spirit with which he uses the skill.

“A good butcher changes cleavers every year because of damage,” the butcher explains to the king, according to Thomas Cleary’s translation. “A mediocre butcher changes cleavers every month...I’ve had this cleaver for 19 years now, and it has cut up thousands of oxen; yet its blade is as though it had come newly from the whetstone.”

The butcher explains that the joints have spaces in between, whereas the edge of the cleaver blade has no thickness, so when it is put into the space between the joints, the meat comes off the carcass without effort. “This is why the edge of my cleaver is still as sharp” as ever, he tells the admiring king.

Zen and the art of butchering. It seems celebrity butchers have been around a long, long time. It’s nice to see them making a comeback.

It’s That Time Of Year Again – Tips For Safely Heating Your Home This Winter When taking steps to keep your home warm and comfortable, make sure you also ensure your family’s safety.

Common household appliances that emit heat, when not properly maintained, can cause

serious damage to not only your home, but to the health of your family.

Poorly vented or leaking gas or kerosene space heaters, chimneys, furnaces, water heaters, wood and gas stoves, fireplaces and genera-

tors can all cause harmful carbon monoxide gas that pollutes the air inside your home.

What’s more, carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that is toxic to your health and undetectable by your natural senses.

According to the U.S. E n v i r o n m e n t a l Protection Agency (EPA), its effects range based on the concentration of the gas at exposure, but can include fatigue, chest pain, impaired vision, dizziness, reduced brain function, nausea, typical flu-like symptoms and can even be fatal.

To keep your family safe from carbon monoxide poisoning and ensure healthy indoor air, use the following tips: • Install carbon monoxide detectors on every level in your home. Ensure proper functionality regularly.

• Make sure the flue is open when fireplaces are in use.

• Purchase vented space heaters, and use only the specified fuel.

•Use heating equipment that has been approved by a testing laboratory.

• Have your home’s central heating system inspected regularly—

preferably by a certified HVAC (heating, ventilating and airconditioning) technician—such as a North American Technician Excellence (NATE)certified technician.

A NATE-certified technician will be able to identify the potential problems in your home, check ventilation and ensure proper sizing of equipment, which can help to prevent carbon monoxide from entering your home.

They will also be able to recommend new, more efficient home comfort equipment that can help improve the indoor air quality of

your home while consuming less energy—saving you money on heating bills.

An energy-efficient York Affinity modulating gas furnace, for example, is the highest-rated gas furnace in the industry that, by operating on longer run times, reduces electrical and energy consumption.

For more on how to safely heat your home, visit the NATE Web site at www.hvacradvice.com.

This is a recurring event sponsored by BRAM to highlight the historic background of the many properties in Ludlow.

The tour will begin at the Gazebo, located in Veterans' Memorial Park in Ludlow, with an introductory presentation by John Bremer.

Almond will discuss the development of the church and how it was recently honored by its selection to the National Register of Historic Sites.

Stanton Wyman of Mount Holly will continue the tour of homes on Pleasant Street.

Stanton has some very interesting new anecdotes about the street. Following this, Susan Pollender will talk about the Town Hall on Depot Street and the Mill.

Alice Suojanen, also in costume, of Chester will

describe the evolution of what is now Doctor Montgomery's home and her visits there when it was Dr. Bryants practice.

Anita Alic will then discuss the old firehouse, now the home of Black River Good Neighbors, (pictured above) and the Walker house.

Linda Tucker will conclude the walking tour by explaining the history of the Baptist Church. The tour will end at the BRAM for refreshments.

Information and printed materials are available at BRAM, 228-5050.

the library depends for more than half of its annual operating budget is being depleted due to rising costs and the economic downturn of the last year.

Right now, the library is operating at an anticipated annual deficit of about $10,000 and, unless an additional source of revenue is found, painful budget cuts and cuts in services may be necessary. The library is open a staggering 50.5 hours per week during the school year which is more than most other area libraries.

There are a few options to increase funding; one being the sale of the McKenney & Hall books titled The Indian Tribes of North America currently stored at the Vermont Historical Society in Barre. The money from the sale of these books would be invested and the library would only draw the interest earned.

Other options include asking the Town of Cavendish to increase the amount of the appropriation that the town contributes to the operation of the library and finally, although becoming more difficult to find because of the economy, grants and donations.

No matter what happens, a library, we feel, is an investment worth making.

Submitted by the Cavendish Fletcher Community Library There is an old adage that "Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries." It is certainly true.

The Cavendish Fletcher Library, which serves both the town and the school, has over 850 registered patrons who, not only use the libraries book and video collection, but rely on the facility as, in some cases, their only source of internet access.

Furthermore, and as part of its’ function in the community, the library provides not only a variety of after school programs, but countless programs geared to adult patrons and preschoolers, all free to participants and supported by Library funds and numerous businesses and individuals. Circulation and patron attendance have been increasing but, unfortunately, monetary donations are not mirroring this increase.

The Artist’s Dilemma: How to Pay the Bills

Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – Editor On September 24 , area painters, writers, musicians – artists and crafts people of all stripes – gathered to discuss the age old question of how to make a living as an artist.

Executive Director Robert McBride and the Rockingham Arts and Museum Project (RAMP) hosted the meeting at the Bellows Falls Visitors Center.

Sonia Rae from the Vermont Arts Council and Jane Eklund from the NH Council on the Arts discussed the grants that are available to artists and arts organizations.

Vermont residents in particular have several grants available for artists, including for professional development and for bringing arts programs into schools and communities.

Eklund noted that due to budget restrictions, there is

real uncertainty in New Hampshire at this time as to just what funding will be available.

Lynn Barrett, founding editor of Southern Vermont Arts and Living discussed how artists might want to market their work, and reminded the artists and arts organizations not to just depend on local papers to run their press releases for free.

McBride suggested that galleries and even towns could combine their advertising dollars and run joint ads to get the word out about their businesses and events.

It was also suggested that local Chambers of Commerce might be good sources for affordable health insurance.

Local Banquet Magazine creators Meg Lucas and Barbi Schreiber also participated in the presentations.

Castle Freeman At Rockingham Library On Wednesday October 7 at 7 p.m. the Rockingham Free Public Library (RFPL) welcomes one of our local literary treasures, author and essayist Castle Freeman.

An award-winning author of four novels, a book of short stories, and a collection of essays, as well as a regular contributor to The Old Farmer's Almanac since 1982, Freeman lives in Newfane.

In his 25 years at the venerable – and infamous – Old Farmer ’s Almanac, his essays come from a very personal life-long interest in wildlife and the outdoors, gardening,

history and especially rural New England, the wealth of its primal beauty, peculiarities and personalities.

His fourth and latest book All That I Have, which one critic calls a “pleasantly wicked novel” is, according to The Cleveland Plain Dealer, "an absorbing yarn from a writer shrewd with the delayed reveal and deft with his lean, tidy sentences. The novel's 20 short chapters fit as snugly as Lincoln logs, and its dialogue zings with a sly Elmore Leonard lilt."

Books will be available for purchase courtesy of Village Square Booksellers in Bellows Falls.

A Sound Review Joe’s take on New Music Review By Joe Milliken-Editor The local rock trio Spectris had been hard at work recording their debut CD for over a year and a half, and now the fruits of their labor have come to fruition with the release of Industry, their second full-length CD. Featuring Christopher Bergmann on guitar and vocals, Todd Westfall on drums and vocals and Josh Mosher on bass and vocals, Industry reveals a band that has matured and progressed tremendously in every aspect since their initial selftitled CD; in their song writing, their musicianship and their abilities in the studio.

Recorded at Helmet Studios in Walpole, NH under the direction of producer Rob Bridge, Industry delivers eight tracks of edgy, progressive rock full of concise structures and aggressive solos, yet also coupled with some form of underlining, rage that's always bubbling underneath the surface.

From Bergmann's opening instrumental strains of sinister guitar

in "Stovepiped" the tone is set, creating a distinctive energy that withstands throughout.

Both "Shovel" and "Industry" are aggressive rockers that build momentum with blistering bass and guitar rhythms in the former, with some patented Westfall rapidfire drum fills throughout the latter.

"The Sun" then shifts gears a bit, centering the groove around some powerful bottom-end bass lines from Mosher that really fill out the track, along with a couple tasty guitar solos.

The following "Grey Area" is perhaps a bit of a departure from the others and seemingly provides an intermission of sorts - a slow-burning number which unleashes the blues-soaked guitar and vocal-prowess of Bergmann.

Next up is "Crossing, which started out as a Mosher solo-demo, but took on a whole new life after receiving a Spectris treatment. Mosher also takes the lead vocal on this track.

"Anxt" is the second instrumental and perhaps the signature track of not only this release, but the entire Spectris legacy to this point.

The only hold over from the band's first release, "Anxt" seems to be a "tip of the cap" of sorts, for a band that appreciates the epic structures and textures that progressive music brings to the table.

The closing "Entropy" again, reveals the diversity and energy of this trio; contrasting rhythms and melodic energy, interesting lyrics and a killer, multitracked guitar solo.

Westfall's cover artwork is criptic while the full-color insert features complete lyrics and additional photos , thank you’s and credits.

Yes, one will be hardpressed to find a local band that not only possesses the chops, but also the integrity, character and passion of Spectris.

The Resurrection of Revolution Farm

Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – Editor The renovation project that Christian Blake and Sandy Bosbach are involved in on an old farmstead on Route 5 in Westminster is hard to miss.

The farm – an old house with a large barn behind it – is located on a sharp S-turn just north of Westminster Station.

Abandoned and vacant for well into two decades, the property was overgrown and the buildings were in serious disrepair. In fact, when he bought the 35-acre property, Blake said it was advertised noting that the house and barn would be razed.

Blake and Bosbach had other plans, which involved saving the house, which likely dates back to the late 1700s, Blake said, based on architectural clues in the

building. The barn was in such poor shape that the couple tore much of it down, rebuilding it as a two-story, 30’ by 30’ building.

They did manage to salvage and re-install the original sliding barn door.

When asked why they took the pains to restore buildings in such poor shape, Bosbach and Blake laughed, noting that it probably was a little crazy on their part.

What made the project instantly the subject of discussion among the locals was that one of the first things Blake and Bosbach did was to have the property around the house bush hogged, clearing away years of overgrowth and neglect.

The interior of the house was stripped down all the way to the handhewn chestnut post and beam frame and the wide, shiplapped

subfloors.

“We filled three, 30yard dumpsters with debris from the house,” Blake said.

Then the house was rewired and snugged up to defeat the long, cold Vermont winters with a wrapping of Tyvek, 2” of blueboard insulation and foam and 27 new, insulated windows. A new roof was put on, the chimneys redone, the exterior repaired and painted and an old deck was rebuilt on the back of the house.

Blake also put in a new well and water lines to the barn and house, as well as a new septic system.

Once a working dairy farm, the property on

which it stands is a gem, bordering on Route 5 on one side, and stretching for 2,000 feet along the Connecticut River on the other.

The property contains a brook, several farm fields, including along the river, and, according to Blake, a rare stand of silver maples.

Blake has put the restored property – he’s named it Revolution Farm – back on the market, as he is planning on moving out of the area. He can be happy that he’s leaving the area one beautiful property and one less eye sore.

Above, a “before” shot of the abandoned house, and Sandy Bosbach and Christian Blake in front of the restored house.

Challenge Course At The Grammar School

Our Place Drop-in Center pulled the winners of its 50/50 raffle during the kick-off fiesta for Project Feed the Thousands, and the big $1,000 winner was Jill James of Bellows Falls.

Winners of $500 each were Laurie Rowell of Rockingham and Aidan Fletcher of Keene, with $250 each going to Arnice Long of Rockingham and Suzanne Chevrier of Chicago.

“We thank everyone for participating,” said OP director Susan Shea.

“We were able to raise $2,500 that will go directly to feeding many local families. This was a great way to jump start our biggest food drive of the year.”

Project Feed will have bins in local schools, businesses and other public places to accept n o n - p e r i s h a b l e donations of food and personal care items.

Volunteers will also be on hand outside Shaw’s supermarket in Walpole, N.H., on several days in November and December to ask shoppers to purchase a few extra items for the food shelf at Our Place.

The fiesta-themed kick-off featured a taco bar donated by Harvest

Moon caterers of Saxtons River and was attended by about 75 community members.

Board member Dan Davis welcomed the crowd that included Sam Haskins from Sen. Bernie Sanders' office, Rockingham Selectboard member Ann D i B e r n a r d o , Rockingham Community Development Director Francis “Dutch” Walsh, Maurice Casey of the Vermont Foodbank Brattleboro office, and numerous volunteers and beneficiaries.

Director Shea also took the occasion to recognize the community's "hidden heroes," those volunteers who, upon their own initiative, organize food drives and events like spaghetti lunches to benefit Our Place.

Pete's Farmstand and Harlow's Sugar House also contributed fresh produce to the fiesta.

Two large bins of food and $650 were donated at the event towards Project Feed the Thousands.
