Face painting was a big hit at the inaugural WitchCraft held Columbus Weekend at Killington Resort in 2016. The foliage backdrop made for perfect photo opportunities and set the iconic scene for the fall festival.
Killington hosts second annual WitchCraft Event expands to two weekends
Oct. 6-9, 13-15—KILLINGTON—Killington Resort, the largest four-season destination resort in eastern North America, will host its second annual WitchCraft event Oct. 6-9 and Oct. 13-15. The festival’s return marks an expansion from being a one weekend event in 2016 to two full weekends this year, as WitchCraft at Killington is quickly becoming a family tradition. “WitchCraft offers an iconic fall family weekend in nature’s gorgeous autumn playground,” said Mike Solimano, president and general manager for Killington Resort. “We’re able to offer programming and

Archer Mayor returns to Rutland Thursday, Oct. 5, 6:30 p.m.—RUTLAND—Phoenix Books Rutland will host Archer Mayor for a book talk and signing on Thursday, Oct. 5 at 6:30 p.m. on his book “Trace” the 28th Joe Gunther mystery novel written by Mayor.. About “Trace”: The Vermont Bureau of Investigation (VBI) has been brought into three new cases, taxing their resources and manpower; meanwhile, VBI head Joe Gunther has to take time off to care for his ailing mother. Those cases are now in the hands of the individual investigators. Sammie Martens is assigned a murder case. The victim is a young woman, the roommate of the daughter of Medical Examiner Beverly Hillstrom. A recent transplant from Albany, N.Y., Martens must find out what put a hit man on the trail of this seemingly innocent young woman. Lester Spinney takes over a famous cold case, a double murder where a state trooper and a motorist were killed in an exchange of gunfire. Or so it has seemed for years. When Spinney is told that the motorist’s fingerprints
were planted on the gun he’s supposed to have fired, it opens the question — who really killed the state trooper? Willy Kunkel’s case starts with a child’s discovery of three teeth on a railroad track, leading eventually to a case of possible sabotage against critical military equipment. In cases that lead the team all over Vermont and nearby, Archer Mayor once against shows why his novels featuring Joe Gunther and the VBI team are amongst the finest crime fiction today.
Archer Mayor, in addition to writing the New York Times bestselling Joe Gunther series, is a death investigator for the state medical examiner and has 25 years of experience as a firefighter/EMT. He lives near Brattleboro. This event is free and open to all. Phoenix Books Rutland is located at 2 Center St., Rutland. Copies of “Trace” will be available for attendees to purchase and have signed. For more information, call 802-8558078 or visit phoenixbooks.biz. Courtesy of Slate Valley Museum
Zombies of all ages came out in droves — over 500 attendees — at the 2016 Zombie Walk and Monster Mash in Granville, N.Y.
Dual Halloween events call all zombies, vampires, and ghouls to Granville, N.Y. museums
By Margot Zalkind
ARCHER MAYOR
Friday, Oct. 6, 7 p.m.—GRANVILLE, N.Y.—The night air is getting chillier and Halloween is just around the corner. The Pember Library and Museum and the Slate Valley Museum are teaming up to host the fourth annual halloween party and zombie walk — Zombie Walk IV — during the October First Friday event, Oct. 6, 7-9 p.m. at both museums. “Last year’s Zombie Walk was a tremendous hit, with over 500 people turning out,” said Krista Rupe, Slate Valley Museum Executive Director and Zombie Queen. “We’re aiming for a million Zombies to emerge this year. The Slate Valley Museum will host them all at our Grand Monster Mash Zombie Ball. There will also be Halloween art, music, treats, special décor and other terrifying surprises to die for.” At the Pember, mayhem will prevail
from 7-8 p.m., when ghouls overrun the building to live music — both inside and out — and feast on “finger” sandwiches, jelly eyeballs, bloody punch, and other delicacies of the undead. Make-up will be available to help everyone look their worst. “Zombies are the future. We know you are out there and we welcome you!” said Pember Field Commander Sparkle Head G. “This is your night and we are honored to serve you.” Festivities start out at the Pember at 7 p.m. and continue at Slate Valley Museum at 8 p.m. after the Zombie Walk down Main and River Streets. Pember Library is located at 33 West Main Street. Slate Valley Museum is located at 17 Water Street, both in Granville, N.Y. For more information, visit slatevalleymuseum.org.

DURHAM COUNTY POETS
Durham County Poets perform live at Brandon Music Saturday, Oct. 7, 7:30 p.m.—BRANDON—The Durham County Poets are a lively group from Quebec playing soulful folk/roots with hints of blues and jazz. They return to perform at Brandon Music on Oct. 7 at 7:30 p.m. The five seasoned musicians, all of whom are songwriters, work together individually and collaboratively in composing their music. Delving into a variety of styles and genres, their musical influences include a broad range of artists. From The Band to Dire Straits, Leon Redbone to James Taylor and Neil Young, they have managed to put it all together to create their own musical style. The group is fronted by Kevin Harvey, a self proclaimed blues crooner on lead vocals; along with David Whyte on electric and acoustic guitars and vocals; Neil Elsmore on acoustic
guitar and vocals; Carl Rufh on double bass and vocals; and James Preimel on drums and percussion. Together, they are a blast to experience live. The obvious joie de vivre expressed while performing together is reflected in the good-time feel that the band creates, which has been captivating their audiences consistently since their inception 6 years ago. Their new album “Grimshaw Road” is jam-packed with original tracks going from moody ballads to swinging up-tempo tunes as well as a thoughtful Penny Lang cover and a gospel standard by Blind Willie Johnson. The Poets are popular at music
festivals and venues across eastern Canada and the north-eastern US. Following a well-received formal showcase at the 2016 Northeast Regional Folk Alliance (NERFA) Conference, the band is branching more and more into the U.S. market with tour stops in Massachusetts, Vermont and throughout New York. This event is a part of Vermont Arts 2017, celebrating arts in Vermont. Concert tickets are $20. Reservations are required for dinner and recommended for the show. Venue is BYOB. Call 802-247-4295 or email info@brandon-music.net for reservations or for more information. Brandon Music is located at 62 Country Club Rd., Brandon.

A man dumps crates of apples into the century-old press to make fresh cider at the annual event held in Belmont.
Ir
Saturday & Sunday, Oct. 7-8—BELMONT—Cider Days is returning to Belmont Saturday and Sunday, Oct. 7-8. Watch fresh cider being made on a century old press and then enjoy a cup of that cider (hot or cold) with homebaked apple pie or crisp topped with ice cream or Crowley Cheese. Come to Belmont and take it all in along with fall colors, fresh cider for sale by the gallon, food and crafts vendors, an antique chair auction and more. And check out the special wishing well. The event runs 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday and 12-4 p.m. on Sunday. Cider Days, sponsored by the Mount Holly Community Association (MHCA), is a Vermont Chamber of Commerce Top Ten Fall Event and has grown in popularity over the years. It builds on a community tradition of local residents bringing their apples to the green to be pressed by neighbors — originally on a hand-cranked press. It’s still a hands-on process, but the century-old press used today does have an engine. Apples are provided right from the trees at Brown’s Orchard in Poultney. “Visitors will see cider made end to end,” said Penny Coldwell, who has worked the press since the early days. “Workers climb up to the top of the press and dump apples into the hopper, which is now stainless steel. Apples are mashed into a pulp and a worker down below opens a small door and mash falls down onto hemp cloth. It is smoothed out and then cloth is folded over the mash. The mash then is put into flats (made by a local furniture maker) and stacked up under the press. When there are enough, the hopper is shut off and the hydraulic press is started. The press comes down slowly — up to 1,200 pounds pressure — and the cider comes out a drain and into a fivegallon bucket with a cheesecloth strainer. From the bucket, it goes into gallon jugs, ready for drinking.” Coldwell and her crew handle more than 90 bushels of apples over the two days. But it’s not all apples and local artisans. Visitors can also see a special viewing of photos taken around Mount Holly for the 2019 MHCA Calendar contest (and can purchase a 2018 calendar); get a personal Souper Kids bowl, each uniquely decorated by students at the Mount Holly Elementary School, who also make delicious soups to go in the bowls; or browse among hundreds of books at the library used book sale and the Mount Holly Museum, located next to the green. “It’s a multi-generational event,” said Coldwell, who teaches at Mount Holly Elementary. “My kids just can’t wait to start working on Souper Bowls.” On Saturday, stick around for a roast beef dinner, seatings at 5 and 6 ($12 for adults, $5 for children). To get there, turn toward Belmont at the flashing light on Route 103 or turn at the Belmont sign from Route 155.

Wednesday, Oct. 11, 5 p.m.—CASTLETON— Castleton University presents Vermont’s inaugural showing of the documentary “Passion to Teach” on Wednesday, Oct. 11 at 5 p.m. in Jeffords Auditorium hosted by the Castleton University Education Department. “Passion to Teach” focuses on the experiences of middle school teacher Amy Lake. A central theme of this film is the indispensability of the teacherstudent relationship in fostering intrinsically-motivated, lifelong learning in students and the symbiotic nature of the teacher-student dynamic as one that contributes to lifelong learning in career teachers. “I loved it. ‘Passion to Teach’ is a game-changer. It will resonate with thousands of educators and parents,” said Castleton President Dave Wolk. “The film will make a huge difference in their mindset and in their advocacy for what students need and deserve.” Kicking off at 5 p.m., the event will include ample time to socialize with local educators, view the film, and engage in a lively question and answer session with educators, community members, parents, and filmmakers Bart Nourse and Sandria Parsons.

Catch major league baseball on the big screen at Paramount, free of charge Oct. 5-6—RUTLAND—The Paramount Theatre announced today that they will be returning to Sports Live in HD for the entire American League Division Series (including games 4 and 5 if needed) — Red Sox vs. Astros. Admission is free to all, to engage the entire community. The first two games will be Thursday, Oct. 5 at 4 p.m. and Friday, Oct. 6 at 2 p.m. The third game is Sunday, Oct. 8, with the time to be announced. The Red Sox celebrated their second straight American League Division Championship with a 6-3 victory over the Astros in Fenway last Saturday. Recalling the memories of the entire run of the 2013 World Series Championship, Bruce Bouchard, executive director, commented, “I remember 2013 like it was yesterday. Due to lucky breaks in the schedule we were able to show 16 of the 17 post-season run of the Sox to their third World Championship in 10 years and we have never witnessed such civic engagement as we did during that run. The average attendance was 350 area citizens, in full Red Sox Swag, loudly and enthusiastically thrilling to the sweep to the crown on the huge HD image on our 30-foot by 24-foot screen. “There is nothing quite like it … better and more enriching than watching from home on the couch,” noted Bouchard. Sports Live in HD started in 2013 as part of the Live in HD Series at the Paramount, following the installation of an $80,000 enhanced exhibition system, funded entirely by the City of Rutland/Zamais Fund. Included in this series is Live in HD from the Metropolitan Opera (beginning Sunday of this week) and Live in HD from the National Theatre (first broadcast Oct. 21). Bouchard commented further, “It was our long-time desire to address the need of the full community by offering programming for the entire community. Happily we found that opportunity with Sports Live in HD and our Free Film Series in the Summer and at the holidays.” Doors open one half hour prior to first pitch. Beverages and snacks will be provided by Roots the Restaurant. For more information, visit paramountvt.org.

Saxtons River resident and cancer survivor raises funds for Ride for the Cure
Monday, Oct. 9—WOODSTOCK—The 8th annual Vermont Ride for the Cure will be on Monday, Oct. 9 — Columbus Day — at Green Mountain Horse Association in South Woodstock. Ride for the Cure is a 6- or 9-mile horseback fundraising ride benefitting Susan G. Komen New England. To date, the ride has netted more than $296,500. Over the past seven years, Lois Steele Whidden, of Saxtons River, and a three-time breast cancer survivor, has participated in the Vermont Ride for the Cure. Whidden is also the chair of the event. Whidden said she chairs the event because, “In 2009, I did the Massachusetts Ride for the Cure and was so inspired I wanted to do this event in Vermont. I am a breast cancer survivor and a trail rider and it seemed fitting to help people in my own state. The Vermont Ride for the Cure means a lot to me — it’s not only about finding a cure, but about the people that ride, the sponsors and donors and all that make it happen. Many folks have been affected by breast cancer and we can all come together for the common cause of helping to end it. I love the camaraderie of all the ‘horse people’ that make this event what it is, along with being another event for the affiliate.” For more information, visit komennewengland.org.

For the third time in three weeks, the seventh hole at Green Mountain National Golf Course has given up a hole-in-one to another lucky golfer. Garvan Murtha, playing in the the annual Trust Company of Vermont Golf Tournament on Wednesday, Sept. 27, aced the hole with a 9 iron for his first hole-in-one in his over 50-year golfing career. The shot was witnessed by his team, Jack Davidson, Elizabeth Conolly and Mike Hertz.

By Alan Jeffery Teaching Professional Green Mountain National Golf Course QUESTION: Roman and Terry are playing in a tournament. On the 15th hole, Terry strokes his tee shot into a water hazard. He announces to Roman that he will hit a provisional ball and does so. Roman says Terry should be penalized for hitting a ball, which by definition is not a provisional ball but a ball in play according to the rules. Is Roman correct? ANSWER: A ball must be lost outside a water hazard or out of bounds to allow a provisional ball. In
this case, the second ball is not a provisional but a ball in play and Terry should be penalized. Roman is correct. See USGA Decisions on the Rules of Golf, 2017-2018, 27-2a/2 Golf clinics continue on Saturday mornings, 10:30 a.m.-12 p.m. I continue to work on individual concerns.

TIA - 2-year-old spayed female. Domestic Short Hair. Black and white. Hi, my name is Tia and I am as lovely as they come! I am a little shy at first but once I get to know you and my surroundings I am a happy girl. I like to be held and cuddled and being pampered is certainly my favorite

LILAC - 4-year-old spayed female. Domestic Long Hair. Black and white. I am a lovely little stray who was brought in to the shelter by a citizen. I am a very sweet lady who will surely brighten your day with my beautiful white whiskers, big yellow eyes and little white socks.
TONKA - 3-year-old spayed female. Domestic Short Hair. Brown tabby. I know, with a name like Tonka you’d think I was a big orange tom cat. I came to the shelter after living outside for two years. My owner had passed away and lucky for me a couple of neighbors took care of me before bringing me to the shelter.
BRISTOL 1-year-old spayed female. Domestic Short Hair. Black. As you can see I am the sweetest little thing. I love being around people and I don’t mind other cats. I had a litter of kittens who are all grown up and now the focus is on me. I am clean and use my litter pan and I don’t mind being held.

STACEY 1.5-year-old spayed female. Domestic Short Hair. Brown tabby with white. As you can see from my sweet disposition I am quite the loveable cat. I am a little anxious in hectic households and when there is a lot going on around me. I do well with other cats and older children but I am not sure I like dogs.
BELLA - 1-year-old spayed female. Domestic Short Hair. Tortoiseshell. Hi my name is Bella and I am an itty bitty kitty with lots of love to give. I have a very outgoing personality! I am a little chatty and love to carry on conversations.
SIAMESE MIX Sweet and sassy Siamese mix looking for a home! I have been at the shelter for five months! Though I love people, the unpredictability of shelter life is too overwhelming. I need a stable indoor home, where I will be loved. My adoption fee has been reduced in hopes the “purrfect” home is waiting for me.

BAILEY Hi! My name’s Bailey and I’m a 6-year-old spayed female mixed breed. I’m a big beautiful girl that is very big on love! I came to Lucy Mackenzie when my dad died. I was lost without him at first, but then I made lots of new friends. Making new friends is one of my most favorite things! Since I’ve been here, lots of good things have happened. I’ve always had really red itchy skin, but not anymore! In my former life, I really loved human food ... like really, really loved it. I can’t have it anymore, because it makes me feel horrible. I also eat a special hypoallergenic food that has made such a difference! In my new home, I would like very comfy beds, a nice fenced in area I can play in and people that will make sure I lead a healthy life. My new home should have no cats or small dogs. I could probably live with another larger dog, as long as we got along. I’m a fun-loving girl that promises to bring lots of smiles and laughs to my new family. If you think we’d be a good match, stop in and meet me today! Lucy Mackenzie Humane Society is located at 4832 Route 44, West Windsor. We’re open to the public Tuesday through Saturday, 12 - 4 p.m. Reach us daily at 802-484-LUCY. Visit us at www.lucymac. org, like us on Facebook, and follow us on Twitter. We hope to see you soon!
