APPLE FEST Fair Haven celebration Saturday It’s been the apple of Fair Haven’s eye for 29 terrific years and it’s coming up again soon. Yes, it’s Applefest, hosted by the Fair Haven Grade School and it will take place this Saturday on the “Green” in Fair Haven Park. Applefest was started in 1990 by the Fair Haven Chamber of Commerce. A few years later, students and teachers of the Fair Haven Grade School took the reins to raise money for school supplies and extracurricular activities. “It is a very important event and generates more than just money for our school and student activities,” said school principal Wayne Cook in a press release. “It is an opportunity for students, faculty, parents and our community to come together in a common interest.” Students will be hosting a variety of fun activities for the community to take part in and be involved with. Each grade will have their own booth where they will be selling hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages while some classes will be doing crafts. You will also be able to take a shot at your “favorite” teacher at a dunking booth. “Every class has some sort of booth,” said Fair Haven Historical Society president Lorraine Brown. A number of vendors will also be present including flea markets, crafters, games, good and many town merchants host sidewalk sales. “Our shared goal is to create and have a collaborative and profitable day for everyone.” Cooke said. The Fair Haven Rotary is planning on hosting a “Stuck-a-truck,” where

Honored Continued from front page Mark Rampone, a teacher who has taught grades 3-6. Rampone learned of his recognition at the BRSU Welcome Back Ceremony on Monday, Aug. 27. Every year The College of Education and Social Services at the University of Vermont, together with Vermont supervisory unions and school districts, join to honor the accomplishments of the state’s outstanding educators. More than 70 teachers were recognized in 39 supervisory unions and school districts in 2017. Principal Brooke DeBonis announced the award to the school faculty and staff saying, “Mark is a devoted teacher who is energetic, engaging, and fun! He is our teacher leader in organizing our National Geography Bee event each year.

Apples Continued from front page you can donate food and items to stock the food shelves of the less fortunate this winter. Of course an Apple Festival

Mark spends time building close relationships with his students and he works hard to support all of them so they are successful. Mark has a great sense of humor and collaborates well with the staff members at Mettawee.” DeBonis continued, “Mr. Rampone is a fabulous teacher who is respected by our families, students, and community members. He puts a lot of time and energy into creating positive hands on experiences for his students. Mark’s students make great gains academically, socially, and emotionally based on his ability to create a safe and positive learning environment in his classroom. Mark deserves to be recognized at UVM Outstanding Teacher of the Year.” When asked for his reaction to receiving the UVM Outstanding Teacher Award, Rampone said, “I owe this all to the kids. The joy of teaching is being with the students and watching them grow. I’ve been

doing this for 30 years, the last 20 years at the Mettawee School. I can’t think of a better place to be.” While Rampone comes from a family with history of working in education, the classroom was not his original idea of a career path. “My undergrad degree at UVM was in agriculture. I had visions of being a veterinarian,” Rampone said. “Then after college I spent some time as a substitute teacher and realized how much I enjoyed working with kids. I put together a number of odd jobs so I could go back to school to get my education degree. Looking back over the years, I know I made the right decision. Looking ahead, I can’t wait to get back into the classroom.” Rampone has been invited to attend the “Outstanding Teachers Day” ceremony to be held at the University of Vermont in Burlington on Monday, Oct. 1.

Slate Valley Museum hosting lecture on Shay’s Settlement Project on Tuesday Educator, writer and archaeologist Steve Butz will give a presentation on the Shay’s Settlement Project: A Story of Revolt and Archaeology” based on his research on the life of Shay and his followers after the Rebellion. The talk will be given on Tuesday, Sept. 25 at the Slate Valley Museum in Granville. It is co-hosted by the Washington County Historical Society and the Slate Valley Museum. Butz will speak at 7 p.m. The Shays’ Settlement Project is the first formal archaeological study of the ruins of a fortified 18th century settlement, considered the most significant archaeological site in Vermont. The settlement was founded by Captain Daniel Shays and his fellow refugees, who fled from Massachusetts following the uprising he commanded there in 1787.

“The story that lies behind Shay’s Rebellion is an important American tale. Steve is an amazing researcher and we look forward to having him at SVM to tell the story of Daniel Shay,” said Krista Rupe, executive director at the Slate Valley Museum. The Slate Valley Museum is handicap accessible and is located at 17 Water St. in Granville. There is no charge to attend, though a free will donation may be made. Refreshments will be served. Steve Butz will have a book by the same title available for purchase at the presentation. It can also be purchased at the Washington County Historical Society Bookshop. For more information call the Washington County Historical Society at 518747-9108 or the Slate Valley Museum at 518-642-1417.

Incredibly, the lost site of American history lay hidden and untouched for over 200 years until its rediscovery in April 2013. Butz’s lecture weaves together several themes: the tale of the present-day archaeological investigation, the history of the settlement, the story of Shays’ heroic life; his role in the infamous Rebellion; and his impact on American law. Butz created a public education project about the settlement, which includes a summer archaeology field school at the sites. Over 100 students have participated in the program thus far learning techniques in archaeological fieldwork, surveying, mapmaking and digital imaging by taking part in the scientific study of the settlement.

‘Slate-Scapes’ exhibit opens Saturday at the Slate Valley Museum The Slate Valley Museum offers visitors the chance to explore the natural beauty of slate across our region through the powerful photographs of local artist and outdoor enthusiast, Chuck Helfer. Slate-Scapes opens during a special reception on Friday, Sept. 21 from 6-8 p.m. “Slate is the dominate feature of the Slate Valley. It underlies our hills and valleys in addition to being a leading industry across the area over the last 180 years. This project took me many places throughout the valley to explore the theme of slate on the landscape,” says Helfer. In putting together this body of work, the artist considered how the natural resource of slate has and continues to shape the landscape of our valley. Helfer has lived in Poultney, Vermont for fifteen years following his retirement as a federal employee from national service programs such as the Peace

Corps and AmeriCorps. He grew up around gold mining in the California deserts and began carrying a film camera as a teen. Since living in Vermont, he has been an active photographer producing images for nonprofit and governmental agencies such as The Nature Conservancy, Vermont State Historical Parks, and the National Park Service. View of quarry at A. A. Hadeka Stone Corp “Chuck’s show last year was so tion of photographs offers a impactful across fresh perspective on just how our community. We are excited slate and slate mining has to be bringing his work back to shaped the landscape of our SVM, especially as this collec-

unique region. Through this exhibit, SVM also looks forward to celebrating the strength and beauty of slate as a natural resource,” says Krista Rupe, executive director of Slate Valley Museum. Helfer previously displayed his work at Slate Valley Museum in an exhibit entitled Rock Work during 2017, which served as a modern photo survey of what it is like to work

in the slate industry today, and captured the daily life of workers and operations in slate mills across the Slate Valley region. This former exhibit gives an artistic nod to area photographer, Neil Rappaport. Now, Slate-Scapes serves as the sequel to Helfer’s first exhibit at Slate Valley Museum and offers both new and returning visitors the chance to explore slate mining from an artistic and environmental vantage point. This exhibit will be on view through mid-November 2018. Slate Valley Museum is pleased to offer visitors the opportunity to purchase reproductions of these stunning photographs. This exhibit was made possible by the generosity of New England Slate Company and the Vermont Slate Quarry Association. For more information, please visit slatevalleymuseum.org.

Twig Remembers Joel Williams / Part 2 Every time I read it, I can’t believe that I didn’t do what Joel had said about my writings “you wouldn’t believe the good that you do for those left behind.” First of all, the article was right on exactly how I saw it. I did feel really bad

as it was such a waste. But I never got to tell of Joel’s writing talent. First of all, he was a very brilliant man who had a wonderful way with words. He could take a very simple subject and turn it into a head-turning

story. This clever tale-telling would show up again in his next job as a DJ on WVNR on a late-night show about 1950’s, 1960’s and 1970’s music. He would give a good account of each tune he was

dealing with - the singer and the songwriter, and have you believing that you had been there to witness the whole event. Like I said before, may God be with Joel Williams, a very gifted writer.

Card of thanks The family of William “Doc” Williams would like to give heartfelt thanks to all who attended the services, sent cards, donated to the scholarship or just reached out. Special thanks to the Wescott boys who played at the service. For Derik Kerber and his kind words and prayers. A very special thanks to all the staff on the 4th floor at The Pines who took such wonderful care of dad. To my daughter Robin, words cannot be said for all she has done for dad and mom. Thank you!

Decorators sought for Festival of Trees Artisans, crafters, decorators and those who enjoy holiday decoration are welcome to use their skills to play a major role in preparing the Slate Valley Museum to host its Festival of Trees on Dec. 7. Prior to the festival the Museum takes on a whole new look as the interior is transformed to become the backdrop to the featured trees. An inventory of over 25 totes of design materials makes the process easy as volunteers use their creative energies and imagination with swags, greens, wreaths and tree ornaments to build a holiday feeling throughout. “If you love holiday decorating, we need you,” says Molly Celani, president of the museum board of trustees. She also points out, “novice volunteers are most welcome. Working together is an exciting experience!” Interested parties are urged to attend organizational meetings at the Slate Valley Museum on Sept. 27 at 5:30 p.m. and Oct. 18 at 5:30 p.m. Actual decorating will occur the first and second weeks in November at times convenient to the decorators. For additional details or questions, contact Molly Celani at 518361-9475 and leave a message.

Is American’s Democracy in Danger? Is America’s democracy in danger? By any measure, it would seem the tenor of current political discourse on the national level is both distasteful and divisive, giving rise to despair and worse, apathy. With the steady weakening of faith in key governmental cultural institutions, erosion of political norms and fast approaching mid-term elections, there is much at stake. Why is this happening and how do we fix it? Is the same loss of faith in democracy occurring in Vermont? What is required of the citizenry of this country to protect and nurture our democracy? Members of the community inclined to take on these questions and engage in thoughtful dialogue are invited to gather under the Hildene event tent on Tuesday, Sept. 25, from 5:30-6:30 p.m. with two prominent Vermont leaders for an important and timely moderated panel discussion. This event is the third in “The Last Best Hope” series, inaugurated in 2014. “Last Best Hope” highlights individuals who have engaged in something larger than themselves, changing the world for the better and inspiring others to answer the call to action. President Lincoln underscored the vital importance of such engagement when he said, “We cannot escape history … we here hold the power and bear the responsibilities … we shall nobly save or meanly lose the last best hope of earth.” Hildene is located at 1005 Hildene Road in Manchester.

Poetry reading Wednesday Joyce Thomas, recently retired Professor of English at Castleton University, will read at the Castleton Community Center on Wednesday Sept. 26 at 7 p.m. An award-winning poet, she is the author of two collections of poetry, Washing Birds and Skins, as well as the non-fiction work Inside the Wolf ’s Belly: Aspects of the Fairy Tale. The reading event will kick off a Creative Writing Workshop facilitated by Thomas beginning Tuesday, Oct. 9 at 3 p.m.

Please join the Castleton Free Library on Thursday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. for a Vermont Humanities Council Speakers Bureau event Song of the Vikings: The Making of Norse Myths presented by award-winning author Nancy Marie Brown. Like Greek mythology, Norse myths are still present, inspiring storytellers from Tolkien to Neil Gaiman, Michael Chabon and A.S. Byatt. Surprisingly, most of what people know about Valhalla and the Valkyries, Odin and the Well of Wisdom,

the Mighty Thor, and Ragnarok or the Twilight of the Gods was written by a 13th-century Icelandic chieftain, Snorri Sturluson. Brown brings the fascinating story of Sturluson’s life into focus, drawing on newly available sources and illuminating the folklore and pagan legends of medieval Scandinavia. Free, accessible and open to all. Light refreshments served after the program. For more information call Mary Kearns at 802-468 5574 or email castletonfreelibrary@ gmail.com.

Audubon group to present program On Friday, Sept. 28 Rutland County Audubon will present award-winning photographs from this year’s National Audubon photographic contest with a reception from 5-8 p.m. and a special talk on birds by Audubon member Mike Blust at 7 pm at Rutland City Hall. The exhibit is free and open to the public. These spectacular photographs will also be on exhibit from Sept. 19 through Oct. 10. Taken by amateur and professional photographers, including youth, in locations from all 50 states and Canada, and chosen from 8,000 entries, these pictures are a visual treat not to be missed. Rutland City Hall is located at 1 Strongs Ave. and is open from 8:30 am to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday. For more information call K. Guinness at 802-287-9338.

Calling all Sasquatches Annual Bigfoot hollerin’ festival set for Sept. 29 in Whitehall By Matthew Saari The hills and vales of the bucolic Whitehall countryside will be resonating with the deep, sonorous calls of Bigfoot next weekend. The third annual Sasquatch Calling Festival is set to kick off at 10 a.m. in the Skenesborough Park in Whitehall. There is no cost to attend. “I’m shocked at how many people are gearing up for it in Fort Edward and Hudson Falls,” said event organizer, David Molenaar. “Holy smokes.” The day promises to be chock full of all things Bigfoot – or Gigantopethecus, if you want to be scientific – with a full slate of researchers, musicians, vendors, films and eyewitnesses. Thus far 30 vendors have committed to attending the festival including videographers, authors, researchers, Bigfoot crafters as well as food vendors with Joe’s Pizza hawking piping-hot pies and frozen ice cream treats. A showing of the film, Beast of Whitehall, gets the day started at 10 a.m. Immediately following the film, Sasquatch eyewitness Brian Gosselin and wife Sue Gosselin will deliver a presentation at 11 a.m. At noon, the film Harry and the Hendersons will play. Also at noon, the musical acts are scheduled to begin with former mayor Pete Telisky’s band, Hometown, opening in the amphitheater. At 2 p.m. Granville’s Just the Two of Us takes the stage. Then at 5 p.m. the much-anticipated

The Hollering Contest is one of the popular events at Whitehall’s annual Sasquatch Calling Festival. Hollering Contest will take place. Contestants young and old will take center stage, providing their best, most authentic Sasquatch call, which will be evaluated by judges, in the hopes of roping in first prize. Top prizes this year include sums of cash - $100 for the adult division and $50 for children – as well as gift certificates to local businesses Carol’s Collectibles, Subway and Joe’s Pizza as well as items from Freakopolis Geekery and Times Emporium. Additionally, a raffle will be held to

determine the proud owner of Hampton sculptor Steve Mestyan’s lastest work of art – an adolescent Sasquatch, rumored to weigh 500 pounds. Molenaar did state that the winner is responsible for shipping the statue to their residence. “When you win it, you have it – get it out of the park,” Molenaar said with a chuckle. The day’s festivities come to a close afterwards, with an expected finish time of 6 p.m. The inaugural calling festival realized a tremendous turnout, with esti-

mates hovering around 1,000 attendees through the day. Attendance saw a slump during last year’s festival, with Molenaar estimating about 400 people throughout the day. In an effort to return Whitehall’s Sasquatch Calling Festival to its former glory, Molenaar and volunteers have been busy throughout the summer with media outreach and promotion. “We want to make it so nobody can turn around and not notice,” Molenaar said. Press releases first went to the quarterly travel and tourism magazines in July, with Molenaar estimating “a dozen or more” publications being reached. Then came the deluge of press releases to weekly and daily publications. “In the end we’re sending out 50 press releases,” he said. In addition to volunteer efforts, there have been a host of Sasquatch-themed events in Whitehall in recent months, some of which have garnered national media attention including the village adopting Bigfoot as its official animal; a reported sighting along U.S. Route 4 and the first ever Sasquatch Half-marathon. Media outreach will culminate on Monday, Sept. 24 when former mayor Ken Bartholomew and local Bigfoot researcher Paul Bartholomew will take to the airwaves, discussing the mythical beast and the festival on Pine Tree Broadcasting’s WNYV 94.1 FM and WVNR 1340 AM channels at 9:30 a.m.

Balloons will fly this weekend in Queensbury By Adam Cook Balloons are destined to rise again over the region this weekend at the Adirondack Balloon Festival. The festival will kick off on Thursday, Sept. 20, at Crandall Park in Glens Falls with a musical performance by Big Fez and the Surfamatics from 4:15 to 6:15 p.m. At 5 p.m., the festival will host opening ceremonies, with up to 20 balloons expected to fly at 6:15. From 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m., the city of Glens Falls will host a block party that will display balloon baskets, car shows and kids’ activities. The Zonta craft show will be joining the festival for the ninth year, from Friday until Sunday. The festival itself is free to the public and balloons will be flying throughout the weekend, with times to accommodate early risers and night owls. Saturday, Sept. 23, starts at five a.m. at the airport with a “Big Balloon Breakfast” that lasts till 10 a.m. The breakfast will also be available on Sunday morning. For those who don’t want to wake up so early, food vendors will be open from 5 a.m. to 7 p.m. on both Saturday and Sunday. A hundred balloons are expected to fly twice on Saturday – at 6:30 a.m. and again at 5 p.m. At 8 p.m. on Saturday, 30-plus balloons will fly in what is known as “Lighting Up The Night,” or the Airport Moonglow. Saturday will also feature musical performances by Pesky J. Nixon and The Old Main. Up to 100 balloons will fly Sunday morning in “Walter’s Mass Ascension,” a nod to the festival founder, Walter Grishkot. The balloons will ascend at 6:30 a.m. From 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. on Sunday, Across the Pond, a musical tribute to the Beatles, will return to perform at Crandall Park. There will be a launch of 20-plus balloons from Crandall Park directly after the performance. For the safety of the balloonists and spectators, the festival asks that attendees refrain from smoking. In addition, pets are not allowed at this event. In cases of rain, the balloons will not fly. In addition, the festival notes that drones and other remotecontrol aircrafts are not allowed. Blankets, lawn chairs, and coolers are permitted, however, as are cameras for anyone who may want to partake in the photo contest.

All enjoyed the military vehicles that were on display, as well as food that was served. The concert is a fundraiser that benefits Operation Adopt a Soldier, an organization that sends care packages to soldiers and veterans. The organization also raises awareness about the daily sacrifices that soldiers and their families make in order to preserve freedom. The event raised more than $3,000. Phil Hoyt sang a collection of patriotic songs.

Several military vehicles decorated the perimeter of the Veterans Memorial Park on Sept. 9.

More than 200 cars from all over the east coast will travel to Granville at the end of the month for the annual Autumn Leaves Car Show. The 32nd showing of the event is Sunday, Sept. 30 at the Granville Little League Field. The car show draws hundreds of car enthusiasts and their classic cruisers to the village - more than 600 people attended last year. “There is a large group of people that come in,” said organizer Denise Davies. “We have a big draw.” All different types of vehicles can be seen on display at Autumn Leaves, from trucks to motorcycles and classic cars to hot rods. “We see absolutely everything,” Davies said. “We see antiques that are from the 1920s. We see hot rods. We see pickups … motorcycles, everything.” In the past, they have been sorted and parked by classifications and they received awards based on those classes, but for this year’s show, organizers are changing it up a bit. “We’re doing something a little different,” Davies said. Owners will be able to park their vehicles where they like at the Little League complex and 50 awards will be given out to the top automobiles. “A lot of participants travel in groups … and they could have all been in different classifications, so we’ve eliminated that. People can now park with the group they come with,” Davies said. She mentioned that many car shows are changing the format, so the Granville Chamber of Commerce, which hosts the show each year, decided to do the same. Show participants will vote on the 50 vehicles they deem the best looking in terms of paint job, engine and

more. Eleven special awards including best of show, most chrome, best paint job, furthest distance traveled, most likely to get pulled over will also be awarded. Winners will win engraved slate plaques. Voting runs from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Spectators will be able to select one automobile to receive an award – the People’s Choice vehicle. Those wishing to display a car, motorcycle or truck in the show can enter from 8 to 11 a.m. on the day of the event for $20. Participants will receive a slate dash plaque; a goodie bag with swag from event sponsors; two door prize tickets; and a 2017 Autumn Leaves Car Show commemorative T-shirt. Spectators can view the cars from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Admission is $3. Each spectator receives one ticket that will be entered in the drawing for door prizes. Davies said this year’s door prizes are “excellent.” Prizes include $500 cash and a Kindle Fire HD 10.1 tablet. Music will be provided by local artist Steven “Skeeter” Morse, and there will again this year be an auto trivia challenge, which will test attendees’ knowledge of car accessories, motors and more. Food, beverages and ice cream will be for sale by Stewart’s Shops, Edward’s Market, the Granville American Legion and the Granville Rotary Club. Also new to the car show this year will be access to a covered pavilion with picnic tables. “It’s really nice. It’ll give people a place to go sit in the shade,” Davies said. The Little League bathrooms have also been enlarged and renovated. For more information, visit granvillechamber.com or the event page at Facebook. com/events/423720634745689.
