Local author will speak at DAR meeting Award-winning author Linda Goodspeed will discuss her new historical novel “Redfield Proctor and the Division of Rutland” at the meeting of the Ann Story Chapter of the DAR at 1 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 20 at the Iron Lantern restaurant in Castleton. Goodspeed’s book tells the story of Redfield Proctor, a man whose life was undistinguished until he gained control of a bankrupt marble mill. Proctor turned the mill into the largest
marble operation in the world, which created his greatest legacy in Washington, D.C.’s great marble buildings. Using his fortune, Proctor founded a political dynasty that elected four Proctors as governor, handpicked a president and made Proctor a cabinet secretary and a U.S. senator. To get to the national stage, however, he had to divide a town. Goodspeed’s book presents the story of how one man’s ruthless ambition changed Rutland forever.

Benson Continued from front page “They (the hayrides) get scarier as the nights go on. The scarers get more creative,” Janssen said. “I’m pretty sure we got rid of that nasty swamp monster that ate some of the eighth graders last year.” Just in case patrons may want to make sure they hold onto their loved ones extra tight as they pass Beaver Meadow Pond, the site where the monster has most often been seen.
Greeley Continued from front page Manchester Newspapers, and his family have been in business since 1875. He will discuss the journalism profession. Joanna Tebbs Young is certified in journal writing and will be running a journaling forum. David Mook is a published author of poetry and teacher at Castleton State College, and will use his poetry expertise in his workshop. Mook said his workshop will include looking at some example poems, responding in writing and, as time allows, sharing some of that writing. He also added the following when asked about the workshop
Most of the sights and sounds along the hayride are created by local residents, some of whom have years of practice scaring the residents of Rutland County. “Many of the scarers have done it for years,” Janssen said. I’m always impressed with the creativity of the sites.” Wagons have tarp-roofs that keep out rain and life-sucking bats so the event is held rain or shine, biblical plague or clear night. Folks who line in Benson or are coming for the evening are asked to take care with the extra
traffic in town. The hayride will change traffic patterns and even close some roads in Benson from 6 p.m. to midnight during the event. Stage Road will be one way, north, from the intersection of Lake Road to Hulett Hill Road. Lake Road will be closed (except to residents) from the intersection of Stage Road to the intersection of Park Hill and Lake Road North. North Lake Road will be closed (except to residents)from Old North Lake Road to the intersection of North Lake Road and Lake Road.
Robert Frost suggests that poetry is “a way of remembering what it would imperil us to forget.” And so, with poetry, the temptation is often to search for the hidden truth or deeper meaning. However, rather than trying to discern any particular answer or answers, I suggest that we look instead for the particular questions the poem asks of us. Discovering and responding to these questions engages us in our dual roles as both readers and writers in an ongoing dialogue with the poet/ poem. Hopefully, the questions then become a meaningful “way of remembering.” Burnham Holmes, a resident of Poultney and teacher at CSC, as well as an accomplished published author, will be teaching a taste of playwriting.
Holmes began his publishing career at Random House in New York City as Toni Morrison’s assistant. Over a 25-year period he worked at several publishing companies and as a free-lance writer, and taught at the School of Visual Arts. He has written 16 books, most recently “One Shining Moment” for HarperCollins. An actor in 20 plays, he has now turned to writing plays. His first play was “Magic Light.” His second, “The Palm Leaf Dialogues,” was a winner in the 2011 Nor’Eastern Playwriting Contest. The conference helps raise funds for future scholarships to PHS.

Camara Continued from front page Poultney Rescue Squad for more than two decades. “He’s been serving on the fire department since he was 18 years old and the Rescue Squad for just as long,” said Poultney Fire Department chief Tim Kerber. “He was an excellent, excellent firefighter, topnotch. Anyone here would have followed him into a burning building. He had the respect of everyone at the department.” During his 23 years on the department, Camara worked his way from firefighter to lieutenant and served as captain for several years. His peers voted him as Firefighter of the Year on multiple occasions. “He was very well liked, and very respected,” Kerber said. “He was always here every Tuesday night. He was very dedicated to fire service.” In his role with the Poultney Rescue Squad, Camara filled every officer position in the organization since becoming a member in 1987, including the past two years as its’ president. “He was there for the squad day in and day out,” said squad Captain Robert Loomis. “He was dedicated to the rescue squad. Everyone is pulling together, but no can fill those
shoes.” Camara also guided many of the organization's younger members. Loomis considered Camara his best friend and a mentor. “I joined and met Mark when I was 15 years old. He pushed me every step of the way. He always had a way of making people remember things. He was a very good instructor and a great listener. He helped people through things, whether it was training or advice. He could sit there and talk to you for hours.” That dedication and commitment to serve stems from the time he served in the Army Reserves. After graduating from Poultney High School in 1988, Camara enlisted in the 368 Engineer Battalion Company C Army Reserves in Rutland. He faithfully served his country for 16 years before being honorably discharged as a sergeant in 2004. Friends and colleagues remembered Camara as a humorous man and good friend Wednesday afternoon. “He was just a phenomenal all around guy,” said Loomis. “He was a very humble man; that’s what made him Mark.” During his free time Camara enjoyed hunting, fishing, camping, NASCAR, the Red Sox and the New England Patriots, but above all else, friends recall
Camara has a loyal and dedicated family man. He married Samatha Baker in August of 2007, and the only time Camara ever took a break (albeit a short one) from his volunteer work was when his son, Lucas Killian Camara was born just over four years ago. “Luke was everything he talked about. He was the focus of his life,” Loomis said “Lukie is Mark Jr. You can tell already he’s going to grow up to be just like Mark.” Memorial services were held on Wed. Oct. 12 and his families, those related by blood, and his extended family at the fire department and rescue squad, paid tribute to a man everyone remembered as a faithful public servant and good man who was well liked by everyone. At the time the funeral service was set to start, a dispatcher came over the local emergency dispatch ferquency announce Camara's death and to say his unit number, 716, would be retired. "Today, we mourn the loss of our brother," the dispatcher said. Members of the Poultney Fire Department and Poultney Rescue Squad have set up a scholarship fund for Luke in his father’s memory. All proceeds from the Rescue Squad’s Thrift Shop (located at the old squad building on Church Street) will be dedicated to the fund.

Twig Remembers Eleanor Anderson First of all, let’s say that Eleanor and Ellis had to be very intelligent people to have reared two of the brightest young men to ever come out of Fair Haven Union High School. Now Ellis was a great tinkerer with a very inventive mind. He was all the time bringing things in to Smith’s Hardware that he had invented and developed to help out on the farm. And sometimes it would be just some kind of an unusual lawn decoration. Ellie was inventive too, but in a very different way. She was a gifted school teacher first and if she could find any way to

College. Paul became a house painter for the same reason as I did. We loved the quiet, peaceful solitude of the summer air. The bees a buzzin’, the birds tweeting and twittering about and the human activities of planning and plotting each day as if it were to be a bit part in some large play. Through the years Paul passed a few jobs my way when he was full and we worked on a big job together. We were backdoor neighbors as our back yard was one of those spots where First Avenue touched Second Street. Paul St. George – good friend, good neighbor, good guy. God Bless! -- Twig Canfield
