OUR READERS’ LETTERS ...rumor...

This is an open letter to the citizens of Londonderry, Jamaica, Weston, Winhall and Stratton: There is a rumor circulating that I am running for a seat in the State House of Representatives in order to put 27 wind turbines on Glebe Mountain. This is not true. I believe there are at least three conditions that must be met before wind turbines can be placed anywhere. The wind supply must be sufficient, environmental studies must support them and the community must want them. I love wind turbines. They are moving sculpture to me. I have seen them in action from a distance and from up close and I still love them. At the same time there is no doubt in my mind that I will never see them on Glebe Mountain. There was so much

emotional upset in Londonderry around the possibility of turbines on Glebe that I believe it will take at least a generation to heal. If the citizens of these 5 towns want wind turbines, I will not stand in their way, nor will I initiate the building of turbines. Wind turbines belong in communities that want them. Sincerely, — Claire Trask, Londonderry, Vermont

Executive Director Christopher Madkour Leaving SVAC

The Southern Vermont Arts Center has announced that Christopher Madkour, long-time Executive Director of the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester, Vermont, is resigning his position effective September 1, 2010. Madkour’s association with the Southern Vermont Arts Center spans three decades, from mowing lawns as a summer intern to assuming the post of Executive Director at the age of 29 — the state’s youngest museum director and the head of its oldest cultural institution. “My vision and mission from the first has been as ambitious as it is plain,” said Madkour, “to make the Southern Vermont Arts Center a beacon of artistic excellence. Today it is just that. After 22 years as Executive Director, I have decided that I have reached the point in my career where it is time for me to seek new challenges and new opportunities.” Stan Stroup, President of SVAC, said, “Christopher has directed the Arts Center for more than 20 years. Under his leadership SVAC has become a central feature of our community, supporting area artists through the Yester House Galleries, offering classes in painting, drawing, and sculpture, providing outreach programs to introduce children in our area to the arts, and bringing outstanding exhibits to the Wilson Museum as well as great performances to the Arkell Pavilion. We are grateful to Christopher for his many contributions to the Arts Center. He carries with him our thanks and best wishes for a bright future.” Madkour will continue to assist with curatorial needs that the institution may need in the future. Editor’s Note: I will miss Christopher’s warm handshake and broad smile when I visit SVAC. His knowledge, experience and passion for the arts are immense. — sjc. ________________________________________________

Art Show at Canﬁeld Library

David and Sandra Miller have a joint exhibition of paintings at the Canfield Gallery in the Martha Canfield Library through the end of July. Both are major artists from Saratoga with resumes as long as your arm, but that’s not why you should see this show. The work is abstract (Wait!). If you’re the type of person who wants to flee when you hear the term “abstract art,” this show might change your mind. Stand in front of one of David’s small, soft-colored paintings and you’ll be transported back to all that was great about your own childhood — the freedom, fun, imagination, the amazing journeys you took inside your head — before the edges of your mind were all smoothed off. Real Estate Services: And if you’re someone who already likes abstract work, you’re going to love this show. Sandra’s small acrylic collage paintings are a cross between precious heirloom jewelry and rare, joyful color. David’s three large paintings are strong, and the “red” one exerts a special pull. Intimate, well lit, the gallery is a real art gallery downstairs in a library. Martha Canfield Library in East Arlington is open every day except Sunday and Monday. Call 375-6153 for information.

The Civil War in Tinmouth and Middletown Springs

On July 25 at noon, the Tinmouth Historical and Genealogical Society will present a program by Grant Reynolds on the impact of the Civil War on the two towns. Each town sent around eighty men to the Union Army. That number includes men who grew up in the two towns but enlisted elsewhere. Our men have some interesting stories, such as Benjamin Hall (or was he William Grace?), the Man with Four Names. Theophilus Smith served in the Cavalry — the Second Kansas Cavalry, though he grew up on the Capron place on VT 140 in Tinmouth. Did he lose a leg, as one source says? Edwin Buxton of Middletown was convinced by the recruiting officer to enlist while he was roofing his barn. He finished the job, then enlisted. Thirty-seven men from Middletown, including Buxton, enlisted together in Company C of the 10th Vermont Infantry, probably convinced by John Salsbury of Tinmouth. He got a Lieutenant’s commission for his pains. Salsbury led what was left of the 10th home at the end of the war, a Major and the most senior officer still serving with the regiment. Not many of the men came home, or stayed here if they did. Two Tinmouth men died in battle; nine of disease. A speaker at the 1905 Tinmouth Old Home Day said that most came home broken in health, and he listed 33 men in particular. But only 14 veterans are buried in Tinmouth’s Cemeteries, and seven of them did not live in town before the War. Where did the rest go? What was life at home like during the war? While that is more difficult to pin down, we know that Tinmouth had a massive turnover of population between 1860 and 1870, though not a lot of the newcomers were veterans of the War. A few wealthy men bought up formerly independent farms, renting them out to tenants. Yet not a single farm owner is known to have served in the war, and only two pre-war tenant farmers. Our soldiers were largely farm laborers, mostly young. Please join us July 25. Bring your own family’s Civil War stories! For additional information please contact Grant Reynolds at 4463457 or grant62@vermontel.net. Program will be held at the Old Firehouse on Mountain View Road in Tinmouth Center.

FROM MY CORNER ��

��

— by Susan J. Coons ...my sister’s visit... Today is Tuesday, July 13. My sister and her friend boarded a plane to return to Lompoc, California this morning at 6 a.m. We were up at 3 and left the house at 4. Our final hugs and good-byes ended two weeks of silly fun and laughter peppered with a little bit of arguing! “Oh, yeah!” and “Who says so!” My sister and her friend spent the Fourth of July weekend in Boston, Massachusetts. They traipsed around historic sites and trails and attended the Boston Pops Fourth of July Extravaganza that climaxed with an exciting display of fireworks. The weekend was long, hot and humid but they enjoyed every minute of it. Linda’s friend, Mary, loves to shop and browse, so we thought she would enjoy Camelot Village in Bennington. One can get lost in there because it rambles upstairs, downstairs and goes on forever! Knowing that we would never be able to find Mary, we went outside to sip a root beer and wait for her. After about 20 minutes, we called her on her cell phone and said we were leaving in five minutes! That was the only way we could get her out of the store! We went to Kevin’s Sports Pub in North Bennington the first Friday they were here. Kevin’s special that night was one of our favorites, sauerbraten! OMG! It was so delicious! I know the work involved in making good sauerbraten with potato pancakes. That’s why I only make it when I’m having guests in for dinner, and then only rarely! ...switch and twitch... I’ve shared stories about my Grandma with you in the past. I was thinking of another one this morning on the way in to work today (Monday, July 19). Women have probably been unhappy with their bodies since mankind climbed down out of trees and set up housekeeping in caves. If you watch old movies from silents to 1930s and 40s, you will see various devices created to help women get themselves into “shape.” My Grandma, who was a little overweight, but always looked good and was a sharp dresser, had energy to spare and so decided to sell, in her spare time, an electric body-trimming-shaping machine. She invited ladies into our living room in the evening about once a week. I helped her set up the demonstration. I was about 11 or 12 at the time and I thought it was so much fun! First I opened the portable table on which the “victim” (my word as a kid) would sit for the demonstration. Then grandma would open the suitcase loaded with wires and switches. Each wire had a little white tab at the end which was placed on the person’s body (flabby arms and legs; triple chins etc.). After all the tabs were affixed, grandma would flip the various switches. The flesh of the “victim” would twitch caused by the electrical snap to every area where the wires were attached. It was very funny to watch. I tried it myself one time just for fun! I don’t know how many of these kits she sold. I don’t think it was too popular because she started selling jewelry at house parties a short time later.

Walking Tour of Weston Village’s Historic District on July 24

In 1985, the Department of the Interior declared much of the Village of Weston to be an Historic District, and listed it as such on the National Register of Historic Places.

��

The “Ark,” a unique structure which stood in Weston for over a hundred years. Where was it? What was it used for? What happened to it? Find out on the Walking Tour of Weston’s Historic District.

��

On Saturday, July 24, the Weston Historical Society will conduct a Walking Tour of the central portion of the Historic District. Subjects presented during the walk include the early settlement and founding of Weston, the “heyday” of the village (1830s), Weston’s subsequent decline and later “revival”, with emphasis on the five architects of its resurrection from a moribund hill town, like so many in Vermont, to one with renewed soul and character. While the walk will focus on the 18th, 19th and 20th century buildings standing today along the route, several others, long gone, will be recalled, as will legends from Weston’s past. It’s more about history than architecture. Guides from the Weston Historical Society will meet participants at 10 a.m. (Sharp!) at the Gazebo on the Weston Green (on Route 100 in the center of town). The tour will last approximately an hour and a quarter and will end at the Museums of Weston, a very short distance from the Gazebo and the tour’s start. Participants should understand that a portion of the route includes a moderate — not strenuous — grade; an increase of approximately 90 feet in .3 mile, or 6 percent. There will be two stops at points of interest during this part of the tour. There is no cost to attend. It is hoped that those who enjoy the walk will leave a donation at the Farrar-Mansur House Museum at its conclusion.

The Best Kept Secret in France - the Toile de Jouy Museum There is a textile museum in the outskirts of Paris dedicated to explaining the production of Toile de Jouy fabric and brimming with original examples. I read about it many years ago in Victoria magazine and put it on my “must do someday” list. Toile means “cloth” in French and “Toile de Jouy” refers to the fabric that was first manufactured at a factory in Jouy-en-Josas, a village located outside of Paris. The factory, founded in 1760 by Christophe-Philippe Oberkampf, was known for its monochromatic toiles, which depicted scenes printed in red, blue, or black, on a white or cream background. On a recent trip to Paris with my husband, Bill, I was hoping we could fit it in but we only had a few days and our itinerary was already chock

��

full. Mentioning it to him I explained that the museum is located in the suburbs of Paris, it would be very hard to find, we would have to take the train to get there, etc. That did it. He loves a challenge and his favorite thing is to pour over train schedules especially ones in a foreign language. I believe he was more excited about the journey than the destination but whatever it took was fine with me. Paris is a city dedicated to design and that day we were visiting the Museum of Decorative Arts. We thought it prudent to ask at the information desk for more details about the Toile Museum before dedicating a precious day to this side trip. Bill worked up the French and the courage to ask. The desk clerk looked at us quite perplexed as if he had never heard of it. Surely it was our broken French that he was misunderstanding, but no, he proceeded to look it up on the internet because he had never heard of it! I was thinking this did not bode well for us but Bill explained it was even more of a challenge and now we had to go. The next day, hours and a few train connections later we were deposited in that sleepy little town of Jouy-en-Josas. It was a short walk through a charming French village to the 19th Century chateau. Once through the doors we were handed an English audio guide to aid us as we strolled through the galleries. We learned that Oberkampf ’s biggest fans were the upper classes and royalty in particular. One of the most memorable toile prints, called “Les travaux de la manufacture” (the activity of the factory) depicted the process involved in fabric production at Jouy, showing the workers laying the newly printed yards of cloth out in the fields to dry. Marie Antoinette was fond of the pastoral scenes with idealistic views of farm life. One of the toiles showed a scene of a newly invented hot air balloon ascending above a crowd of onlookers. Bill said that maybe toiles were the newspapers of their day. If you are ever in the neighborhood you must visit this marvelous museum. It is well worth the train ride from Paris. There the secret is out! See Lisa’s Web site at lisalabergeinteriors.com. ________________________________________________

Adams along with The Essex, Vermont’s Culinary Resort and Spa, announces their recent partnership in the opening of the new J. K. Adams Kitchen, within the culinary resort, in Essex Junction, Vermont. According to J.K. Adams’ Vice President, John Rodrigues,” J.K.

We are thrilled to now introduce our second kitchen, which

will allow us to broaden our offerings. Additionally, having such a wonderful partner as Vermont’s own J. K. Adams on board only heightens our excitement,” said General Manager Jim Glanville. J.K. Adams has been designing, manufacturing and distributing highquality kitchen wood products from their factory in Dorset. Vermont since 1944. Its flagship store, The Kitchen Store at J.K. Adams in Dorset, has been open since 2001. Their newest store in Waterbury, Vermont opened in May of 2009. A proud Partner in Education with New England Culinary Institute, The Essex has been the Burlington, Vermont area’s home for culinary excellence since the Resort opened in 1989. Just last year its acclaimed Butler’s Restaurant & Tavern won the coveted 2009 “Best of ” Award of Excellence from Wine Spectator. With the addition of The J.K.

Dorset School Children Have Lesson Combining Local History and Geology

MIND

The third grade class at The Dorset School recently finished up their school year with a field trip that combined local history and geology. After learning about the early settlers of Dorset and studying rocks and minerals, they met up with Susanne Rappaport, curator of the Dorset Historical Society, and Linda McGinnis, owner of the Barrows House. Ms. McGinnis gave the students a tour through the Maple Hill Cemetery. While on the look-out for the grave sites of early settlers, Ms. McGinnis told stories about the early settlers of Dorset. Following a picnic lunch on the Barrows House grounds, the third graders then were accompanied by Ms. Rappaport and Art Gilbert as they hiked up an old trail leading to the Gettysburg quarry, following the same route as miners did many years ago. Students were able to observe an old house foundation left over from a mining family’s home. Once they arrived at the quarry, the third graders had a chance to see how much marble was removed from the mountainside, as well as the change from hand to machine mining. The third graders had a chance to see how geology of an area can affect its history.

Lanterns of Remembrance at Lake Lauderdale

On Wednesday evening, August 4, candle lanterns will set sail on Lake Lauderdale, New York, as a memorial to lives lost to armed conflict. Lanterns of Remembrance at Lake Lauderdale began in the 1980s, when Cold War tensions kept images of nuclear war’s devastation sharply focused. The lantern float became a way of strengthening efforts for peace by honoring war’s victims. Each year’s observance continues to serve this purpose, as community members join the Battenkill Peacemakers in making and floating candle lanterns. The evening begins at 6 p.m. at Washington County Park picnic shelter, where participants bring dishes to share in a potluck supper and where materials for lantern making are provided. (To help “keep green”, diners are encouraged to bring their table service and to separate waste as labels direct.) The program that follows will include group singing, special music, and readings.

& ENVIRONMENT Nature Notes

— Bonnie Dundas We are on a new part of the roller-coaster ride which the weather has been this summer. After some very hot and humid days, the temperatures dipped down into the mid-40s a couple of weeks ago. Whatever is happening with the weather, the gardens seem to like it. We

��

�� Next to the Mill Tavern Restaurant

have already enjoyed peas, broccoli, lettuce, carrots, beet greens, spinach, radishes, and summer squash. Perhaps the weather is not so much to the liking of birds as their numbers are diminished in our yard. The House Wrens almost make up for it by singing all day long, but we miss the chorus of robins and have to be content with one or two pairs. Veeries and Wood Thrushes have also been quiet this summer; we have only one pair of each and Red-eyed Vireos and Eastern Phoebes are conspicuous by their absence. Another oddity is that the Tree Swallows are nesting again – very odd in that they are usually freed from family chores by now and spend their remaining summer soaring over the pond fly-catching insects. Instead they are fighting over the birdhouses and nest-

building. An unexpected addition to the yard is the Greatcrested Flycatcher. Kingfishers have kept to their schedule and alert us to their presence at the pond with their rattling calls as they fish for their young. This is a good time to get out your cleaning supplies and scrub your hummingbird and other birdfeeders. Remember to change the sugar water for the hummingbirds every few days to keep a fresh, safe supply for them. Skyward, the Milky Way is making an appearance as is Scorpius.Scorpius,which actually looks like a scorpion, is a formation easy to find in the southern sky. Look for the curving tail and stinger pointing down and east and the triangular-shaped claws pointing up and west. Antares, a lovely red first magnitude star, is found near the claws.

SPORTS The Seventh Annual Gear Up For Lyme Mt. Equinox Uphill Bike Climb Once again,“uphill” cycling enthusiasts have their sights set on August 7, as they prepare to compete in the Seventh Annual Gear Up For Lyme Mt. Equinox Uphill Bike Climb. Last year, the Manchester Rotary Club hosted the event to an international field of nearly 200 competitors who raced their bicycles (and one unicycle) up the precipitously steep Mt. Equinox Skyline Drive Auto Road. The Gear Up For Lyme Mt. Equinox Uphill Bike Climb is proud to be a part of the new BUMPS series — the Bike Up the Mountain Points Series. The summer-long series includes all the great hill climbs of the Northeast — Whiteface, Okemo, Mt. Ascutney, Mt. Washington, Mt. Equinox, Burke Mt., Appalachian Gap and Mt. Greylock. Age-group leaders will earn polka-dot jerseys, and additional prizes will go to series winners. Visit www.hillclimbseries.com for more info. For the seventh consecutive year, the Rotary Club of Manchester is pleased to announce Casella Waste Management as the Title Sponsor for the event. Andy Holzman, race director and member of the Rotary Club of Manchester stated that Casella has always been extremely generous in its support of Rotary events as well as the countless charitable causes within our community. For a pure climbing event like this, power-to-weight ratio is critical - both for the athlete and his / her equipment. Every ounce can make a difference. Lance Armstrong, seven-time winner of the Tour-deFrance, often chose not to paint his bike as a weight savings bonus to aid his efforts during the more difficult mountain stages. On Mt. Equinox, others strip unnecessary brakes and outside chain rings. There are no

fenders or reflectors on these bikes! The Rotary Club of Manchester is presenting this event as a fundraiser to benefit both the Lyme Disease Association (LDA) as well as local charities of the Rotary Club of Manchester and at the same time improve the awareness of Lyme Disease within our own community. LDA supports research and treatment of Lyme Disease that affects thousands throughout the US every year. Lyme Disease is now a recognized national issue with a high incidence in New England and Vermont. For more information on registration, sponsorship or volunteer opportunities, or to make a donation to the Lyme Disease Association, visit www.gearupforlyme.com, or contact Andy Holzman at 802-3620273. _________________________________________________

MMF Delights with All French Program

��

The Manchester Music Festival will perform an all French program at its July 29 concert. Featured will be late 19th century and early 20th century works by two well-known French composers, Ravel and SaintSaens, along with pieces by two lesser known Frenchmen, Caplet and Cras. Bridget Kibbey, harpist, will be the special guest performer. She was the 2009 Concert Artists Bridget Kibbey, harpist. Guild award winner. The concert will open with Ravel’s Introduction and Allegro, a brief ten-minute work for harp and a chamber ensemble of flute, clarinet, and string quartet, first performed in Paris in 1907. Written in just eight days, it is a genuine chamber work most notable for the contrast of the smooth sound of the winds, warm resonance of the strings and the percussive tones of the harp. Next to be performed is the L’espagnol from Divertissements by Andre Caplet, a composer and conductor now known primarily for his orchestrations of Claude Debussy’s work. Written in 1924 for solo

ENTERTAINMENT DTF Family Fun Series Begins with Fantastic Mr. Fox

Band Concert at Hildene

Wes Anderson, in his first animated film, adapted Roald Dahl’s classic story, “The Fantastic Mr. Fox,” to the big screen. It delighted audiences, dazzled critics and built upon the foundation of a fantastic tale. This charming play will be performed by the Dorset Theatre Festival (DTF) Apprentice Company during free Saturday matinees now through August 14 at the Dorset Playhouse in Dorset, Vermont. When Mr. Fox steals one chicken too many, Three Farmers — just about the meanest men ever encountered — decide the only cure is to rid themselves of Mr. Fox by any means possible. But, the ever-clever Mr. Fox has other plans. Outwitted at every turn, the farmers’ ploys backfire, and all the animals celebrate a feast at their expense. A children’s book fair featuring Roald Dahl and Quentin Blake will directly follow each performance hosted by Northshire Bookstore. Goody bags and treats will also be available. For reservations, call 802867-5777. ________________________________________________

ENTERTAINMENT MMF Premieres Lost Work

The Manchester Music Festival’s (MMF’S) July 22 concert will include a performance of “Ballade Carnavalesque,” by Charles Loeffler. Scored for flute, oboe, saxophone, bassoon and piano, this quintet disappeared for about 75 years, until the score was discovered in the Library of Congress. “Charles Loeffler was highly regarded by his peers and by the classical music critics of the late 19th Century,” said Ariel Rudiakov, MMF’s Artistic Director. “But creating music was more important to him than the mundane acts of filing and publishing. Regrettably, some of his work was lost. Fortunately, ‘Ballade Carnavalesque’ was rediscovered and re-premiered in 1978. I believe it has never before been performed in Vermont.” The July 22 concert is at the Arkell Pavilion at the Southern Vermont Arts Center in Manchester, Vermont. Tickets are $30 and may be purchased at www.mmfvt.org. MMF’s Thursday night performances begin at 7:30 p.m. Stephen Bodner, saxophonist, is one of the guest artists at MMF’s July 22 concert. _________________________________________________

FINE ARTS

& CRAFTS

The Horse Seen as Art, Up Close

Currently on display at the Spiral Press Café on Bonnet Street is a unique photography exhibit titled “EQUUS: Up Close” by local Dorset photographer Lisa Cueman who has put together a series of large, graphic, black-and-white and sepia-toned photographs that embrace the forms, textures, beauty, and athleticism of the horse. Having spent most of her life around horses, Lisa is relatively new to the digital photography world, only purchasing her first digital SLR camera five years ago. However, during her high school years, she was never too far away from the traditional darkroom, leading to the conversion of her home bathroom into a make-shift darkroom where she

discovered her love for black-and-white photography. With the advent of digital technology, Lisa’s interest in photography was re-kindled and led to this debut showing of her work. Lisa’s style of photography offers a fascinating perspective of the horse: her “up close” approach to her subject creates an abstraction that asks the viewer to pause and consider the image’s relation to the animal. One photograph in particular that works this effect is Lisa’s showpiece “Snowstorm.” Appearing initially very much like a landscape of a distant ridgeline covered in snow, the image is in fact the profile of the back of a horse in near white-out snow conditions. Another image, “Hind Site,” explores the symmetry of the horse form from an often-unseen perspective. Accepted into the Southern Vermont Art Center’s juried Fall Exhibition, this image received an Honorable Mention. The opening of “EQUUS: up close” coincides with the beginning of the Vermont Summer Festival, a six-week horse show that takes place in East Dorset and showcases hundreds of magnificent horses. The exhibit can be seen daily at the Spiral Press Café and hangs through July 31. All images are available for purchase; further inquires can be made by contacting Lisa Cueman at 802-867-4237. To see more of the photographer’s work, follow “lisa cueman photography” on Facebook or on her Web site www.lisacuemanphotography.com.

Bronze Horses at Bistro Henry Equus Foundation on Tap to Beneﬁt Award-winning sculptor Elaine Franz Witten of Shaftsbury has some of her equine sculptures on view and for sale for the month of July at Bistro Henry restaurant in Manchester. One of Witten’s works, Photo Finish, is currently in the collection of the King of Saudi Arabia, a horse aficionado if ever there was one. Others are in museums and private collections throughout this country. On view at Bistro Henry are three works: Thoroughbred Portrait, Cowboy, and Cavallo Nero (Black Stallion). She is also a regular and popular sculpture instructor at the Southern Vermont Arts Center. Henry Bronson, chef/owner of the restaurant, which has received many awards and accolades for its fine cuisine, said he was pleased to have the Witten bronzes on display for diners to enjoy, adding that in addition, the restaurant also displays the work of Josh Rome (joshromestudio.com, as well as linoleum print artist and builder extraordinaire, Chris Fontaine. “Come join us for dinner and see some spectacular art!” the chef invites. He added that a portion of the proceeds he makes from any sales commissions will go to The Equus Foundation, a non-profit organization born from the passionate belief shared by millions of people of all ages that horses play an important role in society in the competitive July 21, 2010

sports arena and in our everyday lives. The Equus Foundation brings together individuals and charitable organizations focused on equestrian issues. The Foundation works to aide the equine charities in accomplishing their missions on behalf of horses and the people whose lives they benefit. Since its founding in 2003, it has given out more than $1.3 million to charities such as horse rescue organizations, the American Hunter-Jumper Foundation, the Bridgeport Mounted Police and

many others. Bistro Henry’s mouth-watering menu and specials may be seen at his Web site: bistrohenry.com. Elaine Franz Witten’s work is also on view at her Web site, elainefranzwitten.com, and at her home studio by appointment. Email her at elaine@elainefranzwitten.com.
