Local author’s pie cookbook selling like hotcakes By  JOHN  FLOWERS CORNWALL  —  Anne  Collins  didn’t  think  she  was  wired  to  be  a  baker  —  or  a  cookbook  author,  for  that  matter.  She  had  spent  her  professional  ca- reer  as  a  civil  engineer,  working  for  Dow  Chemi- cal  and  eventually  in  the  aerospace  industry. But  her  life  circumstances,  her  love  of  history,  a  keen  ear  and  a  fertile  sweet  tooth  led  her  to  write  and  complete  what  she  insists  will  be  her  only  book:  “Vintage  Pies.â€?  It’s  a  book  that  has  been  selling  like  hotcakes,  thanks  in  part  to  some  re- cent  exposure  on  the  QVC  home  shopping  net- work,  which  sold  6,000  copies  of  “Vintage  Piesâ€?

ID-Â4  petitions  nixed,  but  board  to  give  voters  their  say By  JOHN  FLOWERS MIDDLEBURY  —  The  ID-Â4  school  board  on  March  4  rejected  two  citizens’  petitions  seeking  to  change  the  date  of  the  district’s  annu- al  meeting  and  the  method  by  which  the  Mary  Hogan  Elementary  School  budget  is  voted,  but  the  panel  unani- mously  agreed  to  place  two  articles  on  ID-Â4’s  April  8  meeting  warn- ing  that  would  accomplish  the  same  changes  sought  by  the  petitioners. Members  of  the  ID-Â4  board’s  pol- icy  and  communications  committee  said  they  could  not  honor  the  citi- zens’  petitions,  as  presented,  based  on  an  inspection  of  those  documents  by  the  board’s  attorney,  Steven  Stit- zel.  One  of  the  petitions  reads,  “Shall  the  Incorporated  District  No.  4  hold  its  annual  meeting  within  10  days  prior  of  Town  Meeting  Day?â€?  The  other  reads,  “Shall  Incorporated  Dis- trict  No.  4  adopt  its  annual  budget  by  Australian  ballot  on  Town  Meeting  Day?â€? Petitioners  have  argued  that  Aus- tralian  ballot  voting  would  allow  more  voters  to  weigh  in  on  the  Mary  Hogan  budget,  which  is  currently  de- cided  at  an  annual  ID-Â4  meeting  that Â
the  district  charter  mandates  be  held  on  the  second  Wednesday  in  April.  That  meeting  has  been  drawing  in  the  range  of  a  few  dozen  people  each  year.

The  answer  to  each  budget  conundrum  lies  in  the  public  process.  Residents  want  clear,  concise  and  transparent  answers  to  their  questions  and  they  want  to  engage  in  a  forthright  conversation  about  their  school  —  its   strengths  and  shortcomings,   its  future  and  the  best  move  forward.  The  challenge  the  boards  face  is  doing  that  while  also  reaching  a  majority  of  town  and  school  district  voters.  Nor  is  it  solely  the  boards’  responsibility;Íž  being  informed  and  part  of  the  community  discussion  is  also  the  respon- sibility  of  each  voter. ********** Residents  in  Addison  County  also  have  a  stake  in  studying  the  poten- tial  for  school  consolidation.  Addison  County  is  noteworthy  because  we  have  an  unusual  number  of  small  rural  towns  supporting  several  very  small  schools.  Addison  County’s  23  towns  have  a  combined  population  of  roughly  35,500,  compared  to  Franklin  County’s  15  towns  with  a  combined  population  of  roughly  47,000.  With  roughly  one  school  per  town,  num- bers  tell  part  of  that  inherent  story.  Addison  County  is  also  noteworthy  because  its  geography  is  largely  absent  of  impediments  to  consolidation,  with  the  exception  of  Granville  and  Hancock  on  the  eastern  side  of  the  *UHHQ 0RXQWDLQV ,Q VKRUW WKH SRWHQWLDO IRU FRQVROLGDWLRQ ² ZLWK VLJQLÂż- FDQW VDYLQJV DQG LPSURYHG HGXFDWLRQDO RXWFRPHV ² LV VLJQLÂżFDQW That  discussion  is  not  yet  well  framed.  At  issue  are  ideas  proposed  under  H.361,  a  bill  that  originated  in  the  House  Education  Committee  and  which  was  approved  unanimously  about  10  days  ago.  It  now  faces  questioning  and  challenges  from  several  other  committees  in  the  House  and  Senate,  though  expectations  are  that  the  bill  has  a  good  chance  of  passage  in  some  PRGLÂżHG IRUP E\ WKH HQG RI WKLV VHVVLRQ ,I WKDW KROGV WUXH LW LV OLNHO\ WKDW incentives  for  schools  to  consolidate  will  be  one  of  the  key  provisions;Íž  it  is  also  likely  that  those  schools  that  consolidate  early  stand  to  gain  the  most  in  terms  of  economic  incentives.  Financial  incentives  are  not  the  reason  to  move  quickly,  however.  Rather,  the  prospect  of  improving  educational  opportunities  for  students  is  the  issue  that  should  motivate  parents  and  teachers  to  seriously  consider  the  potential  and  act  accordingly.  That  will  take  intense  public  discourse  and  participation  and,  as  always,  the  more  effort  put  into  the  discussion,  the  better  the  outcome.  Communi- ties  would  be  wise  to  act  now  to  form  joint  town-Âschool  committees  and  EH SUHSDUHG E\ ÂżUVW EHFRPLQJ LQIRUPHG $QJHOR 6 /\QQ

blinded  by  the  lure  of  the  immediate  monetary  gain  from  the  legalization  of  marijuana,  but  rather  she  clearly  understood  the  potentially  harmful  and  long  term  effects  to  our  com- munities  which  would  result  from  the  passage  of  these  bills.

In  addition,  the  estimate  was  cushioned  to  account  for  the  per- centage  taken  by  the  fundraising  platform  and  was  at  the  high  end  of  the  range  to  enable  us  to  address  any  unforeseen  expenses  associated  with  his  care.

Happy 80th Birthday, Ma I don’t think even you could know the magnitude of pain your loss created. The kids get excited when they see a star at night because they know it’s you. I find myself looking for the brightest one now too. When a sunbeam reaches down with all of its warmth I can feel you. Life is a journey of Sweetness & Sorrow of yesterday’s memories and hopes for tomorrow. Love You, Lynnia
Peace of mind is knowing your loved one never leaves our care.

Mandigo  recalled  that  stop  on  Sul- livan  afterward,  but  at  the  same  time  said  the  Panthers  probably  should  have  found  a  way  to  translate  their  edge  in  play  in  the  second  and  third  period  into  more  production.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Their  goalie  is  really  good.  She  made  a  save  on  Sullivan  in  the  third  period,  I  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  how  she  made Â

The  end  came  suddenly  in  over- time.  The  Panthers  probably  could  have  done  better  with  a  clearing  attempt  that  Shelby  Labe  stopped  at  the  right  point.  She  slapped  the  puck  along  the  ice  toward  goal,  and  Herr  one-Âtimed  a  shot  into  the  upper  right  corner.  Marsh  had  no  chance,  and  the  Panthers  were  dealt  their  ¿UVW RYHUWLPH ORVV RI WKH ZLQWHU 1-Â3  in  eight  tries).  The  Bantams,  not  the  Panthers,  threw  their  gloves  and  sticks  into  the  air  and  celebrated.   â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  disappointing,â&#x20AC;?  Mandigo  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  feel  bad  for  the  seniors,  and  ZHÂśOO NHHS RXU ÂżQJHUV FURVVHG DQG hope  we  get  to  play  next  week.â&#x20AC;?

Students of the Week from area High Schools Otter Valley Union High School Mount Abe Union High School Otter Valley Union High School is proud to name Max Maron as its Student of the Week. Max lives in Pittsford with his parents, David and Peggy Maron. He has two older sisters who are out of college. Max moved to Vermont from Massachusetts about 5 years ago. $W Ă&#x20AC; UVW KH VD\V 2WWHU 9DOOH\ RYHUZKHOPHG KLP DQG KH Ă RXQGHUHG academically, but now he is a successful honor roll student. He was recently invited to the National Honor Society. He is taking AP Literature and AP Calculus, along with Physics and Advanced Behavioral Science. This year he took a dual-enrollment course known as Collaborative Peer Review. Max earns money as an online video producer who uploads to YouTube, with videos of various video games that he played growing up, and him commentating over them. Through a partnership with a company outside of YouTube, he has been earning income, which has grown over time. This work has been on the backburner recently as heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s been fairly busy with school but he hopes to do more with it when Maxwell  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maxâ&#x20AC;?  Maron school is over. He also live streams to a website known as Twitch TV, O.V.U.H.S. where he interacts with the game and does a chat at the same time, usually doing â&#x20AC;&#x153;speed runsâ&#x20AC;? of games. When asked what he has learned in high school, Max said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Time management is a big thing for me. â&#x20AC;Ś Respect is another component; you must respect your instructor and peers no matter which class you are in. The most important piece of advice for any student, not just high school, is to not underestimate what you are capable of. I thought I was down and defeated back in freshman and sophomore year, but I have proven otherwise. Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m now looked at as an intelligent young man who has made some pretty remarkable achievements.â&#x20AC;? Max plans to attend Castleton State College next year, but he may transfer to Salem State in Massachusetts for their strong mathematics program. He is considering a career as an engineer or an actuary. Max is proof that hard work and determination can take you far. All of us at Otter Valley congratulate him on his accomplishments and wish him the best in what is sure to be a very bright future.
Mount Abraham Union High School proudly names Kiley Pratt of New Haven as its Student of the Week. Kiley is the daughter of Kim Callahan and Jeff Pratt. She has one sibling, Morgan, who is a junior at Mount Abe. Kiley has achieved high or highest honors throughout high school. She is a member of the National Honor Society and has received the Harvard Book Award and the the Presidentâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Volunteer Service Award, and was recently named an AP Scholar. She has taken or is taking numerous AP classes. She attended the Hugh Oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;Brian Youth Leadership Conference in 10th grade, as well as the Governorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Institute for Current Issues and Youth Activism, and the Global Leadership Forum in New Mexico the summer before. This fall, she studied religion, language, Nepali and sustainable development in Nepal, getting credit through the Mount Abe Pathways program. Kiley has been a member of the Scholarsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Bowl team since grade 10 and is co-captain. She played soccer and ran cross-country one year each. She has participated in both the fall and spring musicals. She attended the New Kiley  Pratt England Young Writersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Conference in grades 11 and 12. M.A.U.H.S. Kiley has worked at Tourterelle Restaurant and Inn for three years. She also spent a few weeks last summer working at Timberlock Family Resort, and was a technological manager for the Scottish independence movement Free Scotland Now based out of Middlebury. She spends a few weeks in the summer volunteering for Zeno Mountain Farm, and last year taught chess at Beeman Elementary School. Kiley enjoys hiking, travelling, playing guitar, cooking and hanging out with friends. Kileyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s advice for other students: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Take and create whatever opportunities you can. There are so many wonderful things out there, and if you pursue what you love, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to pay off.â&#x20AC;? After college, Kiley plans to attend college and do more traveling. Alan Kamman says Kiley â&#x20AC;&#x153;is an intelligent, motivated, and enthusiastic young woman. â&#x20AC;Ś She has an open-minded approach to life, and a diverse worldview that goes well beyond the borders of our county and state.â&#x20AC;? All at Mt. Abraham wish Kiley the best in her future.

H.361 (  Continued  from  page  1) Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  schools  and  alter  how  they  are  governed. The  bill,  H.361,  would  consolidate  the  277  school  districts  that  presently  exist  statewide  to  fewer,  larger  dis- tricts  of  at  least  1,100  students.  The  goals  of  the  legislation  are  clear:  to  FXW FRVWV E\ LQFUHDVLQJ HIÂżFLHQF\ and  ultimately  ease  the  education  tax  burden  on  Vermonters.  Realizing  those  goals  is  far  more  complicated. Sharpe  confesses  that  winning  the  support  of  voters,  many  of  whom  are  wary  of  losing  input  over  how  their  schools  are  run,  is  no  easy  task.  But  if  anyone  has  the  ability  to  turn  skeptics  into  believers,  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Sharpe.  Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  been Â
a  longtime  Statehouse  advocate  for  education,  and  in  February  shepherd- ed  H.361  through  the  House  Educa- tion  Committee,  which  he  chairs. At  town  meetings  in  Bristol,  Starksboro,  Monkton  and  Lincoln,  Sharpe  told  voters  that  Vermont  needs  to  rethink  the  way  it  structures  its  education  system,  both  to  rein  in  spending  and  make  sure  students  are  getting  the  best  possible  education. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  do  such  a  good  job  edu- cating  kids  from  low  income  homes,  and  we  donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  inspire  kids  to  go  be- yond  high  school,â&#x20AC;?  he  said  at  Monk- tonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  town  meeting,  noting  that  only  about  half  of  Vermont  high  school  graduates  move  on  to  some  form  of  higher  education.
Sharpe  added  that  Vermontâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  edu- cation  system,  over  the  years,  has  become  unnecessarily  complex  and  expensive.  He  created  a  chart  of  the  stateâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  education  bureaucracy,  crammed  with  overlapping  boxes  and  arrows,  to  illustrate  his  point. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Would  anyone  design  something  as  crazy  and  convoluted  as  this?â&#x20AC;?  he  asked  voters  in  Bristol,  holding  up  the  chart. The  bill,  H.361,  would  eliminate  some  of  those  boxes.  By  combin- ing  districts  and  sharing  resources,  schools  would  be  able  to  shed  ad- ministrative  staff  and  redundant  bu- reaucracy.  Instead  of  a  host  of  school  boards  (the  ANeSU  has  seven,  the  ACSU,  10),  supervisory  unions Â

Voters  in  Bristol  said  â&#x20AC;&#x153;noâ&#x20AC;?  to  their  elementary  school  budget  proposal  of  $4.93  million,  a  2.76  percent  in- crease  over  last  year,  by  a  tally  of  377-Â267.  That  budget  would  have  cut  a  total  of  six  staff  positions  from  the  school,  which  many  parents  ob- jected  to. In  Monkton,  residents  voted  down  a  $2.82  million  proposal  that  was  9.3  percent  higher  than  last  year,  223-Â126.  Mount  Abraham  voters,  by  a  margin  of  1,241-Â1,088,  rejected  a  $14.06  million  proposal  that  was  about  $30,000  less  than  the  budget  IRU WKH SUHVHQW ÂżVFDO \HDU All  three  school  boards  have  meetings  scheduled  for  this  week.  The  Bristol  Elementary  board  will  meet  Monday  at  5:30  p.m.,  the  Mount  Abraham  board  will  meet  on  Tuesday  at  6:30,  and  the  Monk- ton  Central  School  board  will  meet  Thursday  at  6:30  p.m.  The  boards  will  seek  input  from  residents  and,  at  these  meetings  or  at  future  meetings  in  the  next  sev- HUDO ZHHNV PXVW ÂżQDOL]H QHZ EXG- get  proposals  for  a  second  public  vote.  As  a  frame  of  reference,  the  re-Âvotes  on  school  budgets  for  Ver- gennes  and  Ferrisburgh  last  year  took  place  in  mid-ÂMay.

(Continued  from  Page  22) voters  said  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;noâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  for  a  variety  of  rea- sons. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Many  of  the  voters  wanted  to  spend  more,  and  many  wanted  to  spend  less,  so  itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  hard  to  say  how  this  will  affect  votes  in  the  future,â&#x20AC;?  he  ex- plained. But  Sharpe  did  say  that  any  move  to  increase  transparency  and  voter  in- put  in  the  budget  process  is  likely  to  gain  support  at  the  Statehouse  and  in  communities  across  the  state. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Taxpayers  are  willing  to  pay  if  theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re  getting  their  moneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  worth,â&#x20AC;?  Sharpe  said. Consolidation  could  take  many  forms  in  Addison  County,  Sharpe  said,  from  combining  schools  to  sim- ply  sharing  resources.  He  said  some  northern  Addison  County  residents  say  a  logical  move  would  be  to  com- bine  the  Addison  Northeast  and  Ad- dison  Northwest  supervisory  unions Â
(they  already  share  a  football  team);Íž  he  also  heard  from  Lincoln  residents  interested  in  exploring  sharing  re- sources  with  Ripton. Sharpe wasnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t the only legislator taking the temperature of voters last week. Sen. Chris Bray, who went to 10 town meetings last week, said education was a topic that dominated many of his conversations with voters. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I heard two messages that traveled together: People do want to control costs, but they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to give up the quality of education,â&#x20AC;? Bray said.  Bray is not convinced that school
consolidation will decrease tax burdens, but said there are other benHĂ&#x20AC;WV RI FRQVROLGDWLRQ WKDW DUH HTXDOO\ important to voters. He said small schools stand to gain from sharing resources because they can offer more opportunities to students that independently they are unable to provide. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The most compelling reason around consolidation, in the case of the smallest schools, is by combining with other schools they may be able to offer higher quality programs,â&#x20AC;? Bray said. The  full  House  will  take  up  H.361  when  the  Legislature  reconvenes  this  week.

Salisbury,  VT  Homeowner  Recommends  Bristol  Electronics From  the  initial  query  about  solar  panels  for  my  house  to  installation  and  well  beyond,  the  crew  at  Bristol  Electronics  has  been  professional,  prompt  and  knowledgeable.  They  came  over  for  a  site  evaluation,  wrote  up  a  proposal  and  sat  with  me  going  over  each  detail  and  answering  my  many  questions.   I  never  felt  like  I  was  being  given  the  hard  sell  nor  did  they  try  to  sell  me  more  panels  than  were  optimum.   Having  no  prior  knowledge  about  solar  power,  I  was  completely  reliant  on  their  honesty  and  expertise.   They  delivered  on  both  fronts.

Pet Pages Be  aware  of  poisons  around  pets By  M.  KATHLEEN  SHAW,  DVM Poison  prevention  week  for  pets  is  March  15-Â21.  This  annual  obser- vance  started  in  1961  to  highlight  the  dangers  of  accidental  poisonings  in  children,  and  is  a  great  time  to  discuss  potential  dangers  to  our  pets,  as  well. In  reviewing  over  180,000  calls  about  pets  exposed  to  potentially  poisonous  substances  in  2012,  the  ASPCAâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  Poison  Control  center  reports  that  for  the  ¿ IWK VWUDLJKW \HDU SUHVFULSWLRQ human  medications  were  the  top  SUREOHP 7ZHQW\ Âż YH WKRXVDQG calls  were  taken  in  2012:  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  almost  70  calls  per  day.  The  top  three  medications  were  heart/blood  pressure  pills,  antidepressants,  and  pain  medications. The  next  most  common  poison- ous  substance  was  insecticides,  with  19,000  calls,  and  over  half  of  those  were  cats.  Our  feline  friends  are  very  susceptible  to  ingredients  in  many  over-Âthe-Âcounter  and  veteri- nary  products.  Always  read  the  label  fully  and  check  with  your  veterinar- ian  before  applying  any  topicals  on  a  cat. Over-Âthe-Âcounter  human  drugs  were  third,  including  drugs  such  as  aspirin  and  Tylenol  and  even  herbal  and  neutraceutical  products.  Coming  in  fourth  were  veterinary  products  VXFK DV Ă&#x20AC; DYRUHG FKHZ WDEV IRU SHWV In  many  cases,  the  entire  bottle  was  FRQVXPHG 5RXQGLQJ RXW WKH WRS Âż YH were  household  items,  including  cleaning  products. Dogs  are  much  more  likely  to  get  into  trouble  around  the  house  than  cats  (nine  of  the  top  10  spots  go  to  dogs),  with  Labrador  retrievers  topping  the  list.  They  are  followed  by  mixed-Âbreed  dogs,  Chihuahuas,  golden  retrievers,  and  Yorkies.  3UHYHQWLRQ FRQVLVWV RI SHW SURRÂż QJ your  home  in  the  same  way  you  would  child-Âproof  it:  Keep  all  poten- tially  toxic  substances  up  high  or Â

love,  and  selling  a  bunch  of  cop- ies  would  be  akin  to  pie  a  la  mode.  So  when  her  publisher  told  her  soon  after  the  release  that  QVC  wanted  to  showcase  the  book  on  its  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Cooking  With  Davidâ&#x20AC;?  show,  she  got  excited.  QVC  had  asked  the  Countryman  Press  to  run  off  an  ad- ditional  5,000  copies.  As  it  turned  out,  6,000  orders  were  placed  in  a  few  blinks  of  an  eye. Collins  appeared  on  the  QVC  show  and  still  has  to  pinch  herself. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It  was  a  surreal  experience,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  was  very  pleased.â&#x20AC;? So  far,  aspiring  bakers  have  or- dered  more  than  10,000  copies  of  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vintage  Pies.â&#x20AC;?  They  are  sold  locally  at  such  stores  as  the  Vermont  Book  Shop  and  Otter  Creek  Kitchenware  and  Electronics,  both  in  Middlebury.  The  book  is  also  available  online,  she  noted. Collins  admits  she  is  no  culinary  whiz  and  does  not  aspire  to  join  the  SDQWKHRQ RI SUROLÂżF FRRNERRN DX- thors. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  think  one  (cookbook)  per  life- time  is  enough,â&#x20AC;?  Collins  said  with  a  smile  during  an  interview  on  Wednesday.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;This  is  the  only  book  I  have  intended  to  write.â&#x20AC;? Reporter  John  Flowers  is  at  johnf@addisonindependent.com.
Pie  recipes (Continued  from  Page  1) years  ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  acquired  the  recipes  by  talk- ing  to  people  and  then  researching  the  recipes,â&#x20AC;?  Collins  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Every- one  likes  to  talk  about  food.  The  discussions  about  pies  really  was  a  gateway  to  other  conversation  about  their  childhoods  and  times  during  the  late  1800s  and  early  1900s.â&#x20AC;? Keenly  interested  in  genealogy,  Collins  derived  great  satisfaction  in  speaking  with  the  octogenarian  sources. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Food  memory  is  the  last  thing  to  go,â&#x20AC;?  she  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;People  were  so  hap- py  (to  share).â&#x20AC;? One  of  the  challenges  Collins  encountered  along  the  way  was  translating  archaic  measurement  vernacular  into  the  more  common  teaspoon,  cup  and  ounce  guidelines  that  are  todayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  standard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;A  lot  of  (the  recipes)  would  have  instructions  like,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;butter  the  size  of  an  egg,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;  and  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;one  teacup  of  sugar,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Collins  said.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;If  you  are  a  baker  \RXUVHOI \RX FDQ SUHWW\ PXFK ÂżJXUH it  out.  But  I  wanted  to  do  something  to  make  these  old  recipes  approach- able.â&#x20AC;? Anne  and  her  husband,  Brian  Collins  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  a  pediatric  dentist  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  moved  to  Cornwall  from  the  Dal- las,  Texas,  area  in  2011.  Brian  still  practices  dentistry,  while  Anne  has  stayed  busy  with  other  endeavors  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  including  launching  her  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vintage  Piesâ&#x20AC;?  effort  in  August  of  2012.  â&#x20AC;&#x153;I  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  want  these  recipes  to  die  with  me,â&#x20AC;?  she  said  of  her  primary  motivation.  So  she  took  out  her  rec- ipe  cards  and  got  to  work.  She  had  no  idea  about  how  arduous  a  process  it  would  be  to  become  a  published  author.  She  sent  a  manuscript  to  a  prospective  publisher,  who  chewed  it  over  for  a  couple  of  days  before  sending  it  back  with  some  helpful  hints.  One  of  the  publisherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  main  UHTXHVWV ZDV WR JHW SKRWRV RI WKH ÂżQ- ished  pies  to  see  what  they  looked  like.  She  complied,  and  â&#x20AC;&#x153;Vintage  3LHV´ RIÂżFLDOO\ EHFDPH D ZRUN LQ progress. The  book,  released  last  Sep- tember,  includes  158  pages  offer- ing  detailed  directions  on  how  to  make  the  50  old-Âschool  pies.  Each  recipe  is  accompanied  by  a  mouth- watering  photo  demonstrating  how  the  various  pies  (or  slices  thereof)  should  look  when  plucked  from  the  oven.  The  photos  have  a  local  Ă&#x20AC;DYRU DV WKH\ ZHUH WDNHQ E\ 7RGG and  Lisa  Balfour  of  Shoreham.  Col- lins  is  proud  to  say  that  her  book  is  100-Âpercent  Vermont  made.  The  publisher,  Countryman  Press,  is  based  in  Woodstock.  The  author  is,  of  course,  a  Cornwall  resident,  and  pretty  much  all  of  the  recipe  ingre- dients  needed  can  be  found  in  the  Green  Mountain  State. Most  of  the  pies  featured  in  Col- linsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  tantalizing  tome  are  made  with  just  a  handful  of  ingredients.  Sugar  pie,  for  example,  is  made  with  the  requisite  pie  crust,  salted  butter,  eggs,  cane  or  dark  corn  syrup,  and  granulated  sugar.  Want  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;transpar- ent  pie?â&#x20AC;?  Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  even  easier.  All  you  need  is  the  pie  crust,  eggs,  granu-Â
lated  sugar  and  salted  butter.  If  you  want  to  reach  deep  into  your  cup- board,  make  a  â&#x20AC;&#x153;gravel  pie,â&#x20AC;?  which  has  11  ingredients,  including  cin- QDPRQ QXWPHJ Ă&#x20AC;RXU UDLVLQV XQ- sulfured  molasses,  cookie  crumbs,  ginger,  hot  water  and,  of  course,  that  indispensable  cooking  fat  of  yester- year:  Lard. â&#x20AC;&#x153;These  are  basic  ingredients  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  what  a  farm  wife  would  have  had  in  the  cupboard,â&#x20AC;?  Collins  said. Just  glancing  at  the  names  of  the  pies  in  Collinsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;  book  conjures  up  vi- sions  of  a  frontier  mom  rolling  out  crust  near  a  primitive  oven,  with  a  son  or  daughter  licking  the  yummy  SLH ÂżOOLQJ UHPQDQWV RII D ZRRGHQ spoon.  Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  boiled  cider  pie,  vin- egar  pie,  chess  pie,  amber  pie,  but- termilk  pie,  Quakertown  pie,  Bob  Andy  pie,  Amish  vanilla  pie  and  a  concession  made  to  pieâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  close  cous- in  â&#x20AC;&#x201D;  funny  cake. FROM  THE  TEST  KITCHEN Collins  made  oodles  of  pies  dur- ing  the  book-Âmaking  process,  and  had  some  very  willing  guinea  pigs  to  make  sure  they  all  passed  the  taste  WHVW ZLWK Ă&#x20AC;\LQJ FRORUV +HU SULPDU\ tasters  were  the  folks  at  Bill  Beck  Real  Estate  in  Middlebury.  At  one  SRLQW VKH ZDV EULQJLQJ IRXU WR ÂżYH SLHV SHU ZHHN WR WKH %LOO %HFN RIÂżFH â&#x20AC;&#x153;They  ate  every  single  (variety  of) Â

They  wrote  their  candid  assess- ments  on  the  back  of  index  cards,  advising  when  a  particular  recipe  was  too  sweet  or  too  tart,  or  needed  a  minor  tweak. And  there  were  also  some  rave  reviews. â&#x20AC;&#x153;One  of  them  said,  â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;This  is  the  best  apple  pie  I  have  ever  eaten,â&#x20AC;&#x2122;â&#x20AC;?  Collins  recalled. Of  course  husband  Brian  and  son  Andy  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  need  to  have  their  arms  twisted  to  join  the  tasting  brigade.  They,  too,  helped  inform  the  recipes Â

All  three  members  of  the  Collins  family  picked  a  favorite.  For  Brian,  it  was  the  strawberry  rhubarb  pie.  Andy  gravitated  toward  the  Bob  Andy  pie,  which  has  a  cinnamon/ egg  custard  base.  And  the  authorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s  vote  went  to  the  sugar  cream  pie. Anne  Collins  didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t  know  what  to  expect  when  she  rolled  out  the  book  last  fall.  It  was  a  labor  of Â
