Weathersfield Tales Vol. 4 Completed in Time for Christmas Story by Robert F. Smith – Editor Photo Courtesy of Steve Aikenhead It has been a labor of love, but the fourth and final volume of Weathersfield Tales has been compiled and printed. It, and the earlier volumes, will be available from December 16 at the following locations: in Weathersfield at the Town Office or Proctor Library, in Chester at Misty Valley Books, and in Springfield at Black River Used Books or the Springfield Food Coop. In Weathersfield the cost is $3, and it is not much more at the other locations. We’ve watched Steve Aikenhead organize this effort, and decided to ask him how the project came about and was completed. “The first Weathersfield Tales stories were collected at a taped story-telling session with local seniors four years ago,” Aikenhead said. “Making a little booklet of those stories seemed like a good idea, but first it seemed only fair to contact some people who hadn’t been at the senior luncheon. Some of those people thought of some other people, and some of those thought of a few more, and within a year we had a book.” There are stories about charging cows and bulls, sheep used to pull carriages, and a hen who prefers the company of her owner to the barnyard chickens. along with tales about Old Hoppy the jailbird, a ragman living a life of leisure, and a generous kleptomaniac. There was a good deal of work in pulling the project together, and Aikenhead said that he had some good help. “Lorraine Zigman was an inexhaustible source of stories and of people to contact,” he said. “Some folks wrote up their own stories, but generally I got on the phone and wrote frantically – ‘Hold that thought!’ – or visited and taped, or more often visited and wrote frantically. Some people talk fast. “The trouble with taping is that later you have to hit the play-stop-rewind-play buttons a few hundred times, and then you have to get back to the storyteller to see if he or she approves of what’s been

Others say they read pilfer them from Weathersfield’s marvelous histor- the stories over again with pleasure.

Thanks to SVAC Winter Ball Volunteers Editor, the Outlook: On behalf of the entire organization, I wish to extend my sincerest thanks to the scores of committee members, staff and volunteers who came together to make the Southern Vermont Arts Center’s latest Scottish Winter Ball a smashing success. That said, I’d be remiss if I didn’t say a special thanks to Scottish Winter Ball Committee Co-Chairs, Judy Livingston – who has tirelessly and cheerfully chaired or co-chaired this biennial event since 1990 – and Amy Thebault. Special thanks also go to Equinox Resort and Spa’s General Manager, Mark O’Neill and, most especially, the nearly 300 revelers who made the night the truly memorable experience that it was. The Scottish Winter Ball is one of the Arts Center’s most important annual fundraisers – as an educational nonprofit arts institution, we rely solely on membership and tax-deductible donations – and all concerned gave freely in support of our mission and our 86-year commitment to the community. Thank you all so much. Christopher J. Madkour, Executive Director, SVA
Vermont Yankee Employees – Talk to One Editor, The Outlook: Nuclear power opponents and detractors would have you believe that there is a large, heartless and un-human corporation that runs Vermont Yankee, and that this behemoth only cares about the bottom line. Yes, Vermont Yankee makes a product for sale and like any other business expects to make a fair profit. It is not this faceless and nameless corporation, however, that has for almost 40 years provided safe and reliable electricity to Vermont and New England at a fair and stable price with zero greenhouse gas emissions. It is in fact the individual employees that have achieved this goal and provide this electricity to you. The individuals at the plant have done this by being focused on two things every day, Safety and Quality. They do this because they believe in Nuclear Power and its benefits. The majority of the VY employees also live within the Emergency Planning Zone of the plant, and they understand they have family, friends and neighbors that they have the solemn responsibility to protect, and that responsibility is taken seriously. So if you really want to know what is going on at the plant, ignore those who have never worked in the nuclear industry and speak to you from a position of fear fostered by ignorance, and ignore the politicians who are bending like reeds in the wind towards the position that will curry the most votes. Instead go find that family member, friend or neighbor who runs the plant safely day-in and day-out and ask them about Vermont Yankee and Nuclear power. And after that conversation, when you decide extending the license of the plant for 20 more years is the right thing to do, write a letter to your state legislator telling them how you feel. Tell them it is the right thing to do to ensure safe and reliable electricity, to keep over 600 highly skilled and good paying jobs, and to keep Vermont Yankee breathing life into the economy of Vermont. Tell them you know it is the right thing to do, because you talked to someone who works there.

but possibly could hire an outside contractor. I contacted Mr. Forguites and gave him the name of a company, Lariviere Forest Products, that is fully insured and is a local company located in Weathersfield, that could do the job. The expense for this job could be realized from the dam fun and would not cause any increase in taxes. Sooner or later the town of Springfield will have to put all of their water through a treatment plant because of more and more strict regulations. I am not advocating any such measure. Steven Sysko, Springfield
Is Springfield Asleep? Time to Wake Up! Editor, The Outlook: The holidays are here again. Are we ready? The answer is no most of the time. Our town has at least 6-7 empty store fronts with double windows waiting to be rented, but they aren’t so during Christmas time that means no decoration or light in them. We will look asleep on Main Street. The garden club took the tree festival to Chester this year leaving us in the dark. Why can’t the organization here in town sponsor a window on Main Street and give some Christmas sprit for every one. Like the Rotary, Elks and Moose Club and the Lions. All work to gather and share there club trees and decorations with the whole town. I’m quite sure each has extra item that could make for a nice cheerful window. Even the Girl Scouts, Boy Scouts and the VFW. They too could have a window. It’s for one month or at least three weeks. Each of the churches could have one if they wanted. There are unfortunate people out of work that could be doing something and setting up a tree would be nice. The stores that are already on Main Street can do their own. But right now there aren’t very many stores open. The empty store landlords are either out of state owners, or there are some in town that could be doing something more then they are at this point. What do you think? Why couldn’t these groups do something to wake up Springfield for everyone at Christmas time when we all need a life? This also includes the Plaza. They haven’t had any greens or lights in the parking lot or along the store fronts for the past three years any ways. What has happened to them? It hardly looks like Christmas there either. And they have stores. A little more effort in that area would boost the moral for every one, too. Now let’s see who can do what to wake up Springfield , getting people out working together to making it every ones job to brighten up the Main Sreet for Christmas. If you need some more ideas of what to do, then give me a call, I’m in the phone book. Good luck to every one. Goldie May, Springfield

Scare Tactics from the Selectboard Editor, the Outlook: At the Springfield selectboard meeting of October 26, it was stated (more scare tactics) that if the Weathersfield reservoir dam broke, it could cause a catastraphy such as happened in Alstead a few years ago. To clear up some facts; in Alstead a dam did not break, a culvert plugged up creating a huge lake that caused the road to wash out sending a tremendous amount of water that had a devastating effect on Alstead. We had the same amount of rainfall here in Springfield as they did in Alstead, but nothing happened at the Weathersfield dam because the spillway was able to handle the huge flow of water. In Alstead you have the Cold River, here in Springfield we have a brook. Another thing that was mentioned is the once a year tax of approximately $4,800 that is paid to the town of Weathersfield for the land that Springfield owns in Weathersfield. This significant cost is easily defrayed by the interest generated by the $130,000 that has been invested by the town of Springfield in municipal funds. Mr. Strong emphasized that he has only four employees,

Students & Endless Creations Support Local Food Shelf Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – Editor This is a time of year when many organizations, businesses and individuals give special attention to helping out the local food shelves. Mellissa Howe, the owner of Endless Creations Pottery Studio in Chester, found a way to raise money for the Chester Andover Family Center and help a bunch of kids create Christmas presents at the same time. With the assistance of Becky Plunkard and the Respect Club, a group of 33 children came to the studio and made a mug and a Christmas ornament for $15. Howe was able to donate $200 of the money to the family center, and 33 children got to make several Christmas presents for family members. Howe said that her make-your-own-pottery business has been enjoying a very busy season.
Endless Creations Pottery Studio owner Melissa Howe sits in front of her kiln, next to a table of mugs and Christmas ornaments waiting to be fired. The mugs and ornaments were created by a number of local children.

Putney Mountain Winery Offers Fine Fruit Wines Right From Your Backyard Story and photos by Joe Milliken - Editor With a unique retail space located the Basketville Store in Putney, the Putney Mountain Winery is a fantastic, artisinal winery that specializes in hand-crafted, fruit wines created from fruit locally grown on Vermont family farms. The Putney Mountain Winery produces some 1,500 cases or roughly 18,000 bottles each year, including over a dozen varieties of sparkling and still wines that ensure pristine quality and excellence in every bottle produced. Founded by Iowanative Charles Dodge and his wife Kate in 1998, Charles is also a renowned composer and pioneer in classical
electronic computer music, receiving his masters and doctorate degrees at Columbia University and teaching at several colleges and universities including Columbia, Brooklyn College and Dartmouth College. Dodge also coauthored the renowned book Computer Music: Synthesis, Composition, and Performance. Dodge's impressive music resume continues, however, he recently retired from music to concentrate on the winecreating endeavors, in which case the Putney Mountain Winery has experienced growth in every year of its’ over 10 year existence. "I moved east in the 60's and started coming to Vermont in the 70's,”
Dodge said in a recent interview. “My father's family is originally from Vermont, and we moved to Putney in 1989." The Dodge’s original winery was located in the basement of their Holland Hill Road home in Putney, then after 10 years of “experimenting and learning,” opened the retail space at Basketville in 1999. Finally in 2008 the winery was also moved to Basketville, a process that also took about six months to complete. Charles and Kate create their own wine recipes, and learned their craft mostly through a lot of experimenting. “Just like with composing, it really took about 10 years to learn and understand the craft" Charles added. A Putney Mountain Winery tasting experience is indeed “fruitful,” which can include a Cranberry Wine, Simply Rubarb, Ruhbarb Blush, a very tart/sweet AppleMaple, a dark Vermont Cassis and a dry, sparkling apple wine, made with locally grown MacIntosh apples. "I believe one of the aspects that makes our winery unique is that we exclusively use Vermont food products in our wine,” Dodge stated. “Vermont fruit has a great reputation and we strive to use the best fruit
from local farms. Our award-winning Cassis is made from unsprayed, black currants grown right in Springfield. It is the most popular with our customers." The Ruhbarb Blush made with strawberries and a hint of raspberry, was named the 2008 North Eastern gold metal winner, a very prestigious New England winery award. Their 2006 Rhubarb Blush also won a gold medal and received the 2008 award for best wine in the state of Vermont at the "Eastern States Exposition" in Holyoke, MA., which is New England's largest agricultural fair. Three of Putney's wines are for sale year round, including the aforementioned Apple-Maple, a still wine of heirloom apples bottled with a touch of maple syrup, the Vermont Cassis, a sweet and tart dessert wine from local, black currants and a Heirloom Cuvee, a sparkling apple wine from a blend of heirloom apple varities. Other fine Putney Mountain seasonal wines include two sparkling apple wines made from single apple varieties - a Northern Spy and a Green Mountain Mac. "We are currently the only Vermont-based

Vermont Academy Students Visit Holocaust Museum
Vermont Academy students outside the Capitol Building during their recent visit to Washington, DC and the Holocaust Museum.
Girl Scout Brownies Support Our Place Drop-In Center With Successful Food Drive Members of Girl Scout Brownie Troop 20018 of Walpole, NH lived up to
their promise to “help people at all times” by holding a food drive for
61488
Our Place Drop-in Center. Members of the troop brought their collection to the drop-in center, where they learned how Our Place provides food to families who are struggling to put meals on the table. “The girls were genuinely interested in the whole process and had lots more questions on the ride home,” said troop leader Jacqueline Caserta. “We’ll be having a follow-up discussion with the girls on this topic at our next meeting as well.” Caserta said she feels exposing the troop's members to community service is an important role for Girl Scouts. Troop 20018 is a member of the Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains Council, a
recent amalgam of the Vermont and New Hampshire councils. Our Place is a daytime shelter and food shelf located at 4 Island Street in Bellows Falls. For more details visit www.ourplacevt.org.
The Vermont Academy Holocaust class, along with teacher Ed Donnellan, recently traveled to Washington, DC to the National Holocaust Museum and Capitol Building. The class took the train from Bellows Falls to DC, arriving late in the evening. After an overnight stay, the group spent the first half of their day in the city at the Holocaust Museum before traveling to the Capitol building. Later that evening, the class enjoyed a family style Italian dinner and shared stories of their experience at the museum. It was evident that the visit had a profound impact on the students. Senior Eric Guardia commented, "One particular exhibit really touched me. There was a train car that was used to deport Jews. I entered the car and kept staring at a corner of the train car that was lit up. “It almost looked like someone was in the corner in pain and agony. I touched the train softly and felt a shiver which went from my hand to every part of my body. All I learned in class this year became real to me at that moment." Junior Margo Feingold wrote, "I feel very privileged to have had the opportunity to go on the trip to the Holocaust Museum, and I want to thank all of those people who made it possible. I was very moved by the exhibits I saw in the museum. “One exhibit stood out to me the most. I walked into a room and was surrounded on both sides by piles of shoes. No one else was in the room with me. I stood there and took in my surroundings. “The smell of the shoes overwhelmed me. At this moment everything I’ve learned about the Holocaust became real. It helped me put the pieces together and understand the Holocaust on a much deeper level." The cost of the trip was provided by a parental donor. It is Ed Donnellan's hope to include the trip as part of the Holocaust curriculum class next year.

Josh Steele Joins Youth Services Josh Steele has joined Youth Services as Street Tracker/Street Checker as part of its Restorative Justice program. Steele works with 13 to 17-year-old youth who have been adjudicated, are on probation, or require additional support specified by the Department for Children and Families. This may mean providing transportation, supervision, attending school or team meetings, or helping implement their case plan in order to increase their likelihood of success. “As a mentor and role model I provide positive reinforcement for the youth I work with as well as help them understand the gravity of the mistakes they’ve made,” explained Steele. “I also try to be someone they can talk to. Understanding why youth break the law is key to ensuring that they don’t repeat those behaviors.” “They take me more seriously because I’ve also been in handcuffs,” Steele says of his own run-ins with the law which has motivated him now to work with other youth causing trouble. “I understand where these kids are coming from firsthand,” he explains. “I appreciate this chance to now make a positive contribution to the community where I’ve put down my roots.” For the last four years Steele was employed as assistant manager of Turn It Up!, a music store in downtown Brattleboro and is one of the forces behind the creation of “Through the Music Gallery”, an art space accessed through the music store which showcases multiple artists every month. Throughout Steele’s daily or nightly contact with his charges, he’s modeling and teaching appropriate behavior such as problem solving, conflict resolution and goal planning while promoting a sober, healthy lifestyle. Steele replaces Michael Marchand. If community members want to find out how to be a part of this important work with our youth, call Youth Services at 257-0361 or visit www.youthservicesinc.org.

10 Questions For Renowned Music Photographer Philip Kamin Interview by Joe Milliken - Editor Photos courtesy of Philip Kamin Renowned photographer Philip Kamin is known around the world as one of the most distinguished music photo journalists of the last 25 years. The Outlook recently
caught up with Mr. Kamin to discuss just a few of his many musical photography adventures. “Thanks so much for spending some time with us Phil, and I will get right to our questions. Outlook: Where are you originally from and where did you go to
Jamie Ward at the Outback
school? Philip Kamin: I am from Toronto, Canada and went to college at Ryerson University. I did not study photography, but majored in social work. GMO: What were your first artistic influences? Was it music? PK: Musically, Elvis Presley was my first influence. Artistically? As a kid, various teen magazines like 16 Magazine, Circus and Teen Beat. As far as photography, the various posters and pictures from these magazines that I would have tacked up on my bedroom walls. GMO: When and how did you first discover photography? PK: At age 23 I met Phil Collins, it was in the spring of 1978, and we got along quite well. He suggested we meet up again that August in Toronto, where he invited me on the Genesis tour. Phil did not realize I was an untrained photographer, however I learned fast and developed my skills quickly and naturally. GMO: Who were your early musical and photography influences? PK: Musically, it was Elvis Presley, Genesis, Creedence Clearwater Revival, Yes and John Fogerty.
However, I believe my photography influences were through osmosis with the teen and music magazines, because I had no interest in photography early on. GMO: Are you a musician yourself, or just a listener? PK: I was a terrible drummer as a kid - 12 to 14 years old or so - so now I am simply a big fan of the music and a karaoke drummer. GMO: What was your first concert or perhaps an early photography memory? PK: My very first concert experience was Creedence Clearwater Revival, when I was 13 years old. I got to speak to John Fogerty who was very kind and gave me some drum sticks from Doug Clifford’s kit. I was in awe. I think they had one roadie because they did a lot of organizing in front of the audience at the Electric Circus. GMO: What was your first official photography job ? PK: My first concert photography job/experience was my first Genesis tour at age 23. GMO: Tell us a fond memory or two in your musical photography travels? PK: Well, meeting my favorite drummer (Phil
At left, David Bowie during his Serious Moonlight Tour in 1983 and above, one of Kamin’s favorite shots; the growl of Mick Jagger. Collins) at such an early age, and to have it ultimately change my life. Also becoming friends with Peter Gabriel and Chester Thompson. In fact, we are all still good friends 33 years later. I also photographed the entire Rolling Stones' "Tattoo You" tour in 1981, Led Zeppelin's famous Knebworth Festival in 1979 and David Bowie's 1983 “Serious Moonlight Tour” GMO: What would you consider to be the crowning achievement on your impressive resume?
PK: For me, the crowning achievement was photographing the Genesis, Phil Collins solo and Peter Gabriel solo tours, between the years 1978 and 1984. GMO: Name a few musicians or bands (alive or deceased) that you would have enjoyed working with? PK: I would have loved to photograph Elvis Presley, the Beatles, Creedence Clearwater Revival and Cream. I've photographed most everyone that I enjoy musically, but those are a few I missed out on; some for obvious reasons.

Mind Dancing Under the Disco Ball: Random Musings on Popular Culture by
Robert F. Smith – Editor
Researching on the Internet Sense and Nonsense As 100 nations meet in Copenhagen to try to deal on an international level with the threats from global climate change, you can still find people who deny that the climate is changing at all. At a time when more accurate, factbased information from the world’s leading experts is available to anyone with a computer and Internet access, some of the ideas that people believe and propagate are inexcusable. That is both the great strength and the great weakness of the Internet. It is an open forum where the best minds, and the most confused minds, can publish their ideas. And it’s not just global climate change deniers. Conspiracy theorists, anti-science fundamentalists, racists and just general whackos of all stripes have made good use of the Internet to spread their ideas.
That’s where the responsibility of the researcher comes in, to develop and use critical thinking and reasoning skills to be able to cut through the Internet nonsense in order to mine the rich veins of knowledge and accurate information available there.
••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Website Recommendations of the Week: www.topics.nytimes.com/top/refer ence/timestopics/people/d/charles_r obert_darwin/index.html?scp=1spot&sq=charles%20darwin&st=cse 2009 was the 150th anniversary of Charles Darwin’s birth, and the 100th anniversary of the publication of On the Origin of Species. In honor of those events, The New York Times site, above, printed dozens of articles and essays on Darwin and his “dangerous idea” this year, and linked to dozens more. So, as 2009 draws to a close, I recommend spending some time at this remarkable archive. After 100 years, it is becoming increasingly clear what an intellectual achievement Darwin accomplished with the publication of On the Origin of Species. It is, arguably, the most influential book ever published.

Get In The Game
A View On Sports By Editor Joe Milliken
Lo c a l H o ops Ac t ion In local hoop action, the Burr & Burton Academy girls' basketball team is showing early on why they are defending state champs,
after slamming the Bellows Falls Terriers, 729, on their home floor in Manchester. Jenna Hoffman led the way for the Lady Bulldogs with 20 points, while Kory Kingsley pitched in with 10 points and Logan Kavanaugh added eight. With the win the Bulldogs are off to a quick 2-0 start as they defend their state title. -------------------------In Springfield, the Lady Cosmos hoop squad could not
overcome a tough Oxbow team, dropping a 51-24 contest to the Olympians. Despite the loss, Springfield made some good stops on defense, but could not get enough offense going to stay with Oxbow in the second half. Amanda Aberle and Taylor Thomas each scored eight points for Springfield, while Erin Clark led the way for the Olympians with 21 points. -------------------------The Leland & Gray
girls hoop team recently had a tough time in Wilmington, falling to Twin Valley, 71-28. The Lady Wildcats simply had too much fire-power on this night with five players scoring in double-figures, led by the all-around play of Devin Spirka with 22 points, eight rebounds, 10 assists and eight steals. Bethan Johnson led the Lady Rebels with nine points while Aly Marcucci pitched in with seven.
The Brattleboro Lady Colonels hoop team recently traveled to Windsor, knocking off the Lady Yellow Jackets, 56-42. Kelsey Guarino led the way for Brattleboro with 14 points while Moriah Norcier pitched in with 12. Morgahan Farnsworth led the Lady Jacks with 21 points, 12 rebounds and nine blocked shots. -------------------------The Burr & Burton boy's team recently notched a big come back
win at Woodstock, outscoring the Yellow Jackets 20-8 in the fourth quarter to pull out a 50-37 win. Despite the Woodstock defense holding BBA leading scorer Chris Antonez to seven points, Shane Quintana and Joseph Keefe stepped up with 10 points each in the win. Sam Stockwell led the way for the Yellow Jackets with 10 points, while Colin Hagenbarth pitched in with seven points.
Lady Chiefs Out-Run Arlington In Home Opener Story and photos by Joe Milliken - Sports Editor The Green Mountain Union High School girls' basketball team recently made it three in a row to start the season, after knocking off the Arlington Eagles, 58-51, at Nason Gym in Chester. And for the third
straight game, the Lady Chiefs used a smothering, mostly full-court trapping defense to not create turnovers, and convert them into easy baskets on the other end. "If we just play our game we should be okay," Green Mountain coach Terry Farrell siad during
pre-game warm ups. "They are quick, but also have a pretty young team, so hopefully we can play some good defense and create some turnovers." The plan would ultimately work, however, it was the Lady Eagles who jumped out early, creating a nice passing game and a 17-13 lead late in the first quarter, with most of the offense coming from junior Haley VanOrman and sophomore forward Elizabeth Macksey. But as the second quarter wore on, Green Mountain senior center Emma Lisle and junior forward Julie Comstock started benefiting from the pesky defense created by guards Sara Groshens and Mckala Benson with four straight transition lay ups to take a 33-32 half time lead. Comstock was everywhere in first half with 12 points and a couple steals, while Lisle had five points and controlled the defensive rebounding. For the Lady Eagles, VanOrman was nearly single-handedly keeping her team in the game with 16 points, several
rebounds and and some tough defense. In the third quarter, the Lady Eagles hung tough and traded baskets with Green Mountain, and headed into the final quarter tied at 44 after a Chieftains jumper was waved off at the buzzer. However, at the start of the fourth quarter that pressure defense would start taking over as Green Mountain scored 10 straight points on a Comstock 3-point play, a Lisle lay up and free throw and a Groshens lay up for a 54-45 lead. After VonOrman broke the string with a put-back inside, the Green Mountain would get two more baskets (from Comstock and Benson) before a Eagles 3-pointer closed out the scoring at 58-51. "We did another good job defensively and created several turnovers
off of that," coach Farrell said after the game. "Julie (Comstock) had a great all-around game and Emma (Lisle) did a great job of passing out of double and sometimes triple-teams. They both did a great job on the defensive end as well." Another big key to this game was the second half defense on VanOrman, who torched the Chiefs for
16 points in the first half, but could only muster six in the second half. Comstock led the way offensively for Green Mountain with 18 points, while Benson pitched in with 13. VanOrman led all scores with 22 points while Rayleen Sherman and Kathrine Macksey pitched in with 12 points each foe the Lady Eagles.
