Castleton split over town officeBy James Schubert

There is general agreement

that something needs to be

done with the Castleton town

offices, soon, but the town is

split on deciding what to do.

The 200-year-old building on

Main Street that housed the

town offices and the police

department until last year is in

need of tender, loving care. The

building, an early example of a

brick row house, needs several

major repairs, including mold,

moisture in the basement, rot

and wiring. There’s also the

issue of bringing the building

up to handicap accessibility

and energy-efficiency stan-

dards.

These issues forced the

Town Offices and Police depart-

ment to move, first to the Old

Chapel at Castleton State

College for six months, and

now to a temporary building a

mile down the road.

There are two ideas on the

drawing board: Gut the old

building and renovate it, with a

new layout and upgrades, or

construct a new building with

a fire station and police depart-

ment attached.

The proposed new building

includes 4,000 square feet of

town offices with an 800-square-

foot police station attached to

the back, a 1,500 square-foot

meeting area for a commons,

for voting and Select Board

meetings and a 7,000-square-

foot building to house the Fire

Department. The emergency

helicopter landing area, cur-

rently on the Castleton

Elementary School grounds,

would move to land adjacent to

the proposed town building.

“We really should house

everything under one roof,”

said Charles Jacien, Castleton’s

town manager.

The town is asking voters to

approve the construction, to be

funded by a 20-year bond

through the Vermont

Municipal Bank, through an

article on the town meeting

ballot on Tuesday.

The new building will cost

over $2 million, or approxi-

mately $60 for an average

household per year for the life

of the bond.

Even though the old town

hall building is described as

historic, the building itself has

little history as a town hall,

Jacien said.

He also said Castleton has

expanded away from the vil-

lage center over the years,

especially in the area near

Castleton corners to the west,

where state routes 4A and 30

intersect off of Route 4.

“It seems like putting the

town hall a few blocks this way

puts us in the middle of the

activity in Castleton,” Jacien

said, motioning with his hands

toward the proposed construc-

tion site.

There are concerns with the

proposed site.

Opponents note it is on a

plot of land which has a 50 foot

right of way going through the

middle of it, and part of the

site is on a floodplain.

Of equal concern is main-

taining the historic village as

the center of the community.

While the building is not sepa-

rately listed on the National

Register of Historic Places, the

village district is.

The second proposed solu-

tion is a complete renovation

of the old town hall, keeping

the exterior so it fits with the

historic district.

John Rehlen, a local busi-

nessman whose family owns

and operates several of the

retail buildings in the village,

says the old town building

should be stripped down to

bare bricks and have the entire

interior rebuilt.

This would take care of the

mold, moisture and wiring

issues and expand the town

offices to 6,000 square feet.

In January, engineers from

several firms were brought in

to determine the structural sta-

bility of the building. They

Top area talent to perform at 'Mania' event

See MANIA, pg. 3 See PIE, pg. 2

By Bill Toscano

It’s not uncommon to head out on a

weekend morning for an all-you-can-eat

breakfast, and for the fourth time, the

Middletown Springs Library has decided to

throw a twist into that idea.

“Librarians love to borrow ideas, and

there was a library in the central part of

the state that did a New England pie for

breakfast event, so we borrowed it,” said

librarian Kimberly Mathewson, who will

spend Friday moving her bookshelves,

bringing in tables and setting up a café for

Saturday morning.

Extravaganza on March 10.

Alumni of the community

school and talent from around

the region will delight attend-

ees with magic, singing, come-

dy and dance, starting at 7 p.m.

at the Mettawee Community

School.

noted that the foundation and

brick walls are in good shape

after nearly 200 years.

Rehlen said the proposed

renovation would cost $750,000

before grants, although it does

not include new lodgings for the

police and fire departments.

The current home of the

Castleton Volunteer Fire

Department on Elm Street also

needs repairs. Others have

placed the repairs at $1.1 mil-

lion, before any grants.

Supporters of the renova-

tions said the Fire Department

is a separate issue.

“The Fire Department is

being held hostage in this

issue.” Wenger Rehlen, John

Rehlen’s son said.

The grants in question are a

$75,000 handicap accessibility

grant from the State of Vermont

and a $240,000 grant from The

Alma Gibbs Donchian

Foundation. The total after the

grants comes to $435,000.

“We think it’s a pretty strong

argument to go ahead and do

this.” Rehlen said.

According to the founda-

tion’s website, “It is the prima-

ry mission of the Alma Gibbs

Donchian Foundation to pro-

vide assistance to various speci-

fied institutions in Castleton,

Vermont and the immediate

environs.”

The Rehlens are active in the

Donchian foundation and some-

thing of a side issue has arisen

in the debate as to whether the

grant is essentially an unfair

lever for the supporters of the

old town hall or if it is simply a

fact of life in small-town

Vermont that active citizens

will tend to pop up in various

places.

The discussion over the

building isn’t new. In early 2000,

the Castleton Select Board

brought the idea of renovating

the old Main Street building up

for discussion. This proposal

was struck down at the town

meeting.

There will be an informa-

tional meeting on the ballot,

including the town hall, on

Monday, March 5 at 7 p.m. at

Castleton State College’s

Jeffords Center auditorium.

Voting is by secret ballot from

10 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday,

March 6, at the Fine Arts Center

in the Prince Gallery, also at the

college.

Mathewson said the pies are

“We are a tiny library, so it’s

very intimate,” said Mathewson,

who is baking a chocolate silk

pie. “We have good bakers in

town. We got offered almost

more pies than we can use.

There’s a lot of support.”

She expects a wide variety of

standard pies, such as apple,

and she said she has also heard

of people planning to make

lemon meringue and pecan

pies. There will also be savory

pies, such as quiches.

“It has gone well. It is deli-

cious, and we have lots of peo-

ple come, and they are happy to

help,” Mathewson said. “It’s

really yummy.”

Last year’s event brought in

more than $600 for the library.

“One of the exciting new

attractions is Rod Hawkins and

the fifth- and sixth-grade chorus,”

said Linda Maness, who does pub-

lic outreach for the Community

School.

Hawkins, director of this

year’s Mettawee Mania, will join

with the fifth- and sixth-graders

for the first time at the event to

sing Josh Groban’s “You Raise Me

Up.”

Also new this year is a magic

act, performed by Mettawee stu-

dents Sam Freeman and

Guillermo Yescas.

Katie Levasseur, crowned Miss

Vermont in June, will host this

year’s Mettawee Mania, keeping

with the tradition of the event,

and perform her dance routine

from the Miss America talent

competition.

Many past students of

Mettawee are returning to the

school to perform, like singer

Carrie-Anne Bell Smith and gui-

tarist Thano Smith of Pawlet and

dancer Abi Armstrong of

Granville, NY.

“Yeah, I’ve been in it since I

was 4, every year.” Carrie-Anne

said.

Carrie-Anne will be singing

“The Only Exception” by

Paramore, with her brother

Thano on acoustic guitar.

There aren’t just student and

local performers at the event,

there are acts from folks from

places like Whitehall, NY and

Gary Sharon of Peru, Vt. Hawkins

noted that they draw quite a radi-

us for talent in the area.

Michelle Petty, formerly of

Pawlet, is also a former Mettawee

student. She has been living in

Nashville, Tenn., for the past year,

where she is working at breaking

into the music industry, Maness

said, however, while she’s back

home, she will be singing at

Mettawee Mania.

“It’s not a competition.”

Hawkins said, “It’s an opportu-

nity for the general public to

come and perform, or watch

people perform acts.” Hawkins

also noted that the event is a

community event, not a school

event, even though it does help

to raise funds for the students

and the PTO.

The Mettawee Community

PTO is hoping to raise funds from

this event to offset the cost of

printing the school’s full-color

yearbook.

Between acts, the sixth-grad-

ers will run a concession stand to

gather funds for their annual trip

to Boston.

Tickets to Mettawee Mania

2012 are available now until

March 9 at the Mettawee

Community School in West

Pawlet, Vt. They’re also available

at the door on March 10 at 6 p.m.

General admission is $7 for adults,

students and seniors for $3, kids 3

and under can attend for free with

an adult.

In the past, the tickets have

been known to sell out fast for this

two-hour show, so organizers

advise you to get your tickets

while you can.

The event has been known to

draw over 400 people from the sur-

rounding area; even during what

Hawkins called a “screaming” ice

storm 250 people still managed to

make it to the talent extravagan-

za.

n West Pawlet market emphasizes local chefs as well as farmers

By Bill Toscano

While its organizers still

use the traditional phrase

“farmers’ market,” the event

held Fridays at the West

Pawlet Fish and Game Club

Building is only partly a farm-

ers’ market.

It’s also a community gath-

ering and a chance to eat food

grown and made by neigh-

bors, a place for children to

play and an opportunity to eat

dinner with friends.

“I think this is an awesome

market, because it’s really a

meeting place,” said Hadley

Stock, owner of Pink Boot

Farm in West Pawlet. “It’s a

great place for local chefs to

show off what’s going on.”

Unlike a typical farmers’

market, there are usually few

fresh fruits and vegetables

and most of the stands are

selling food that can be eaten

right there or taken home to

eat right away.

“We wanted to be a family-

friendly dinner market,” said

manager Helen Wood, whose

family also sells maple syrup

and fresh food from its Cookin’

Woods stand, which is over-

seen by her daughter, Jessi.

“It’s the only market of its

kind that we know of,” she

said.

“It’s also a producer-only

market. You have to be selling

your own product.”

For example, Stock and her

husband Mike raise the food

she uses in her barbecue and

other comfort foods she sells.

In Wood’s case, the meatballs

are from beef her family has

raised and the maple syrup

for the gravy comes from her

husband Bob’s trees.

“We are fiercely local-food

loyal here,” he said. “People

around here really get it. A lot

of us think the best way to get

fresh food is to go local.”

The indoor market will run

from 4 to 7 p.m., though the

Friday of Memorial Day week-

end, then will move back out-

side from 3 to 6 p.m. every

Friday.

The indoor site is provided

by Angela Miller and Russell

Glover of Consider Bardwell,

a local cheese producer.

“Angela has been so gra-

cious to us,” Wood said. “It’s

great of her to let us use this

site.”

The building, across the

street from the West Pawlet

Fire Department, becomes

warm and homey as several

dozen people come in from the

icy weather outside to shop

and eat.

“First, it’s indoors, the

hours are great, and it’s all

about location,” said Beth

Kashner who sells her jewelry

as Mixed Metal Media. “And

you can get a nice dinner out.”

One of the busier stands is

Laurie Brooks’ Wayward

Goose Farm, which sells fresh

pies by the slice or by the pie.

She also sells mini-pies,

though those often do not

make it out of the building.

Consider Bardwell is there

with cheese and fresh eggs.

Sissy’s Kitchen has hot foods

and sweets, Eli Norman sells

local crafts and Pine Woods

Farm has hot dogs, hamburg-

ers and other foods.

Melissa Comar’s Pitchfork

Preserves stand is very popu-

lar with visitors as well.

“Using local fruits and veg-

etables is a big priority to us.

Whenever possible we source

our produce from organic

local farmers. You can taste

the difference,” said Comar,

who makes and sells ketchup,

cranberry ketchup, green

tomato pickles, hot peppers

and bread and butter pickles.

She also has farm-fresh eggs.

Comar said it’s the commu-

nity orientation that makes

the market.

“It’s filled with good peo-

ple, good vibes and good food,”

she said.

“It’s a local, hot, fresh meal.

The community really

shines.”

Hadley Stock, left, of Pink Boot Farm, serves dinner to Beth Kashner at the West Pawlet Fish & Game Club Building.

of Commerce is hosting a

By Derek Liebig

During its 36-year history,

Tyke’s Kids Fishing Derby has

had to endure all sorts of weather.

Last year, rain and sleet made for

a soggy day, and in 2010 warm

temperatures forced anglers to

fish with rod and reel from the

pier. This year the biggest obsta-

cle to the event, which will be held

on Sunday, hasn’t been the weath-

er, but a lack of support.

Elaine Phillips, who has orga-

nized the event with her husband

Thomas since the derby’s founder,

Stephen “Tyke” Phillips, died in

2008, said the event relies on dona-

tions and they just haven’t been

there this year.

“Things are rough. We aren’t

getting the donations we normal-

ly get,” Phillips said.

She said organizers usually

receive around $1,000 in dona-

tions that they use to purchase

food, raffle items, and prizes,

which every participating child

receives. But as of last week,

donations for this year’s event

had topped out at $400, leaving

Phillips and her family with the

burden of having to dip into their

pockets to make up the differ-

ence.

She said the economy is prob-

ably playing a part, and the lack

of winter weather could have

some people wondering if the

event is going to happen this year,

but without more donations in

the future, a three-and-a-half-

decade tradition on South Bay in

Whitehall, NY, could come to an

end after this year.

“We appreciate everyone

who has donated. We couldn’t

do it all without it,” Phillips

said. “We would like to continue

to have it. It could last for a long

time if we get the donations we

need.”

The event was first held in

1976 and during its heyday

attracted anywhere from 50 to

100 people.

Stephen Phillips, who owned a

small bait shop on the corner

Clinton Street and Broadway, in

Whitehall started the event as a

way to encourage local children to

get out and enjoy fishing. After he

died four years ago, his family has

picked up the mantle and the

event has endured.

“It’s gone from generation to

generation,” Phillips said, adding

that her granddaughter partici-

pated in the event as a youngster

and today her two young children

participate.

“It’s always been a good enjoy-

able day. It’s nice to see the kids

out there having fun.”

This year’s event will be held

from 6 a.m. to 3 p.m. in the vicini-

ty of the fishing pier on South

Bay.

If there isn’t enough ice, kids

can fish from the pier with rod

and reels.

Phillips said organizers have

some extra fishing equipment,

but they encourage folks to bring

their own.

Every kid who participates

will receive some sort of prize,

whether it’s a toy for the younger

kids or fishing equipment for the

older kids.

The distribution of prizes will

occur at 3 p.m. inside Bay View

Gardens. Admission to the event,

including food and bait, is com-

pletely free.

Kids fishing derby on for 36th year, barely

Bowlathon helps with Irene reliefGreen Mountain Insurance

Professionals sponsored a

Bowlathon recently that raised

$1,122 to go towards the local Red

Cross disaster relief fund to help

victims of Tropical Storm Irene.

The Bowlathon was at the

Rutland Bowlerama. The success

of the event was largely under-

written by donations from Co-Op

Insurance Companies, New

England Excess Exchange,

Progressive Insurance, CRDN,

Disaster Recovery, G.W. Savage,

Paul Davis Systems of Southern

VT, Portland Glass, and ServPro

of Burlington.

Foster said, “Those of us work-

ing in the insurance and insur-

ance related industries saw the

widespread devastation from

Irene and wanted to do something

to show our support of those that

were so unfortunate to have lost so

much,” Foster said.

For anyone who would like to

help, donations should be sent to

the American Red Cross at 117

Strongs Ave., Rutland, VT 05701-

4497 with the note that the dona-

tions are to be used for the local

Disaster Relief Fund. GMAIP

offers professional education and

leadership development so mem-

bers can gain industry knowledge,

leadership skills and the confi-

dence to successfully advance in

the insurance industry.

For more information, see

Early start to maple season around regionBy Bill Toscano

Throughout the Lakes

Region and into Washington

County, NY, maple-sugar pro-

ducers are off a fast start and

fervently hoping the weather

will turn an early start into a

long season.

“We’ve been really busy

with sugaring,” said Kevin

Ruane of K&S Ruane Maple

Sugar Farm in Tinmouth.

“We’ve boiled over 300 gallons,

and we’ve still got about 3,800

taps to put in. “

Pam Green at Green’s Sugar

House in Poultney is also

pleased with the beginning of

the season.

“We boiled Friday for the

first time. We were a little slow

getting started, but it’s going

pretty well,” she said. “It’s still

pretty cold over here, down in

the teens at night, so I figure

we are getting a good re-charge,

which is not a bad thing.”

Last year was one of the

best in recent memory for local

maple-sugar producers, and

this year could be even better

– depending, as always, on the

weather.

“It’s the same thing every

year,” said Matt Rathbun of

Rathbun’s Maple Sugar House

on the Granville-Whitehall bor-

der. “You don’t know how it’s

going to be until the end, but I

think it’s going to be a good

year

“It’s going to be hard to top

last year,” Rathbun said. “It

was phenomenal.”

Green said her first batch of

syrup was a very light-colored

medium grade. “It had sat for

about three days before we got

to it,” she said. “But it was

really, really good. Now we will

move on to making the fancy

(grade).

Green said she and her hus-

band have all their taps out.

Ruane still has tapping to

do, but is looking forward to

the season, because last year

the snow on his land got so

deep it was difficult to get to all

the trees, and he was still cop-

ing with rebuilding his sugar

house, which had burned down

the year before.

“We did 1,530 gallons last

year, and there were 1,887 trees

we never tapped,” he said. “We

are hoping for 2,200 to 2,500 gal-

lons this year. This is the earli-

est I have ever boiled.”

Veteran maple-sugar pro-

ducer Vernon Scribner of

Whitehall is really happy with

this year so far.

“We got off to a good start,”

Scribner said, noting he was

able to start tapping his trees

Feb. 11 and was boiling sap Feb.

18, the earliest he’d been able to

do either. “We’re on track to

make more in February than

we ever have before.”

Scribner described the sap

run as fair so far, but “it’s run-

ning a little every day.”

As always, Scribner talked

about the weather.

“This is the driest February

I have ever seen,” he said, prior

to the weekend’s precipitation.

“We need some moisture.”

Scribner, who finished tap-

ping trees last week, said the

sweetness of the syrup he has

produced is about average and

that the sap is boiling at an

average rate – 40 to 43 gallons

to produce one gallon of maple

syrup. He will continue gather-

ing sap as long as it runs.

David Campbell of

Mapleland Farms in Salem

also got off to a good start, and

he sees one thing that is defi-

nitely better than last year.

“It’s a lot easier working in

the woods with no snow,” he

said. “We’re hoping for a long

season.”

The long-range weather

forecast, running into next

week, is just what the maple

syrup producers are hoping for

– freezing temperatures at

night with the thermometer

rising well above freezing dur-

ing the day. The cold nights,

followed by warmer days, help

the sap run better. Additional

snow cover would help as well.

The crucial number for the

temperature is 60 degrees,

according to Rathbun. “Once

you get up above 60 for a couple

of days, the trees start to bud,

and that’s the end of the sap

run,” he said.

“That’s exactly it,” Campbell

added. “We need some freezing

nights to keep it going. “Nice

cool nights and no days above

60.”

Rathbun hopes for at least

another month of the sap run.

“Getting to April 1 is always

great,” he said. “Last year, we

didn’t end until April 10 or 12.

Like most of the region’s maple-syrup producers, Matt Rathbun got off to an early start and is very pleased with the beginning of the season. The weather is the key to the rest of the season, he said.

Maple weekend around the cornerBy Bill Toscano

Not only will local residents

soon get a chance to peek inside

the work of maple producers,

they will also be able to taste the

results of that maple sugaring.

Two maple weekends are

scheduled in New York for

March 17 and 18 and March 24

and 25.

Local farms taking part in

the event include Grottoli’s

Maple in Granville, Rathbun’s

Maple Sugar House on the

Granville/Whitehall line, Dry

Brook Sugar House , Wild Hill

Maple and Mapleland Farms in

Salem, Rascher’s Sugar House

in Shushan, Highland Maple

Farm in Argyle, and Sugar Mill

Farm in Greenwich.

Farms will be open from 10

a.m. to 4 p.m. and will be run-

ning tours, and several sites

will be hosting pancake break-

fasts.

In Vermont, maple farms in

Rutland and Bennington coun-

ties will hold a single-weekend

open house on March 24 and 25.

“We’re going to be serving

free pancakes,” said Kevin

Ruane of K&S Ruane Maple

Farm. “We are hoping a lot of

people will come out and see

us.”

Green’s Sugar House in

Poultney, which has been pro-

ducing maple syrup on the

same site since the late 1600s,

will also be open for tours,

Other local sugar houses

involved that weekend include

Wood Family Sugar House in

Poultney.

Dinner and raffleA basket raffle and spa-

ghetti dinner to benefit

MaKenzee Brown will held on

Saturday, March 31 at

American Legion Post 39 in

Poultney.

MaKenzee was born very

sick and has spent time at

Boston Children’s Hospital

and CHAD-Children’s

Hospital at Dartmouth for her

illness. Proceeds from the

event will be used to cover

some of the expenses related

to her treatment.

Doors for the basket raffle

will open at 10:30 a.m. and

drawings will be held begin-

ning at 1 p.m. Patrons don’t

need to be present to win.

A spaghetti dinner will fol-

low from 5 to 7 p.m. Tickets

for the meal cost $10.

Editor's note: For those read-

ers who have been following the

Pawlet Library's Mardi Gras mys-

tery clues but couldn't attend the

event, here's how the New Orleans

society adventure turned out:

Dolores Luebke from the

Pawlet Public Library reports

turnout was high as revelers in

attendance solved the Mardi Gras

Mystery Dinner at the Barn

Restaurant on Fat Tuesday, Feb.

21. The mystery unfolded with the

discovery of a scroll with an

anonymous message for Amanda

Gray. The scroll and notes from

Miss Gray’s diary from Jan. 28,

Feb. 4 and Feb. 14 were published

previously, so this is the unwind-

ing of the clues for those not able

to be present at the dinner.

Private investigator Rex

Jefferson divulged his findings at

the Mardi Gras celebration:

(1) The scroll indicates that the

key to the chest belonged to a

mutual ancestor and is held by

one of Amanda’s relatives:

(2) Abigail Lee is a relative of

Amanda’s as she attended the

family dinner in Clue #1. She

discovered the name of the maker

of the chest and the key in Clue#3.

The key maker revealed that only

one key to the chest was ever

made and Abigail does not pos-

sess the key.

(3) Maria Theresa Del Gato is

identified as a cousin in Clue #2.

Maria had been searching for the

key before she left the estate in

Clue #3. If she had found it, she

would have used the jewels to pay

her own debts. She does not pos-

sess the key.

(4) Randal Radcliff is related

to Amanda Gray as he attended

the family dinner in Clue #1. He

would like to increase his influ-

ence over the management of the

estate by demanding a marriage

of Amanda and his nephew,

Beauregard Montgomery. In Clue

#3, Randal sent a note on Beau’s

behalf asking Amanda for the

first waltz at the ball. He would

not relinquish the key if he had it

unless Amanda agreed to marry

Beau.

(5) Beau Montgomery is not a

blood relation of Amanda Gray.

He is Randal Radcliff ’s nephew

by marriage. Beau presented

Desiree LaLuna with a 30 karat

diamond engagement ring at

Mardi Gras.

(6) Desiree La Luna has been

shunned by Amanda Gray. She is

considered an outcast by New

Orleans society because she is a

stage actress. Amanda sees

Desiree frequently but refuses to

acknowledge her. Desiree holds

the key to Amanda’s future.

Miss Gray’s problems were

resolved when Desiree La Luna

gave Amanda the key and she

opened her ancestor’s jewelry

chest. Enclosed in the chest was a

letter from Amanda’s mother as

well as the family heirloom jew-

els. It read:

“My dearest daughter,

It grieves me to leave you strug-

gling to maintain the plantation;

however, you are not the only per-

son I was obliged to protect. Our

beloved Dixie has been lost and

we must struggle through our

defeat.

Since you are reading this let-

ter, you have received the key to

my locked jewelry chest from

your cousin.

Desiree, has saved the planta-

tion. In exchange for the dangers

she faced in couriering informa-

tion across enemy lines, she only

asked that our family estate be

saved from foreclosure. President

Davis provided the funds which

paid the mortgage in full. All

transactions took place during

the glory days of our Confederacy

and are legal under the laws of

the Union as well. The discharged

mortgage is in this chest as well

as the family heirloom jewels.

Desiree was assisted in her

role by a Capt. Beauregard

Montgomery of the Confederate

Army. I believe she has developed

a deep affection for him. Please

help them to regain their place in

society.

Your loving mother, Agatha

Gray”

The mystery cast was Adelle

Seamans (Amanda Gray), Ray

Duquette (Beau Montgomery),

Beth Kashner (Desiree LaLuna),

Jay Luebke (Rex Jefferson),

Bernadette Hoffman (Abigail

Lee), Kelly Ahlfeld (Maria

Theresa Del Gato, Glenn Munson

(Randal Randolph), and Dolores

Luebke (Portia Smithfield, author

and narrator).

The Pawlet Public Library

would like to thank all those who

supported and attended this fund-

raising event. We are grateful to

Mark and Margaret McChesney

of the The Barn Restaurant along

with their staff who provided a

superb New Orleans buffet, a

warm atmosphere and terrific

service. Special thanks to local

musicians, Marc Edwards of

West Pawlet, Jack McChesney of

Pawlet and Jamie Gates of

Manchester.

Their music enhanced the

revelry and delighted the revel-

ers. We are especially grateful to

our local newspapers for carry-

ing the mystery; besides our local

supporters, people journeyed

from Wallingford, Bennington

and Montpelier to discover who

held the key. Congratulations to

James Glick of Pawlet who iden-

tified Desiree LaLuna and held

the prize winning ticket for gift

certificates to The Barn

Restaurant and Barnes & Noble

plus a box of Priscilla’s Sweet

Shop chocolates.

Pawlet Library's Mardi Gras mystery revealed

Librarian Beth Kashner attended the Pawlet Public Library's Mardi Gras event in costume as socialite Desiree La Luna.

I have always been fasci-

nated by the people who work

their tails off and make their

childhood dreams come true.

First, as a kid I got to watch

my dad as his big brother ( a

foreman) placed him in a posi-

tion to learn every machine,

as he quickly caught on to the

process of publishing a news-

paper as they both toiled in

the composing room of the

Rutland Herald. From there

he worked two jobs at once to

save monies to purchase the

weekly Fair Haven Era that he

had worked at in high school.

Number two, Rueben St.

John an all-around printer for

my Dad. After the fire that

destroyed the Era office, all he

ever wanted was to return a

local weekly to Fair Haven.

Seventeen years later he pro-

moted and prospered with his

“promoter.”

Number three, his kid broth-

er, Tommy St. John, started up

a sporting goods store and pur-

chased E.A. Mallory store

where he had worked in high

school where he operated St.

John’s sporting goods.

Number four, C.J. Richards.

In the early 1950s every kid in

Fair Haven and the surround-

ing area spent Sunday summer

afternoons at the Fairmont

Speedway, glued to the spills

and thrills of auto racing. C.J.

caught the bug and the young

West Haven farm kid saved up

his bucks, bought a piece of

land on an excellent location

(22A North) and oh, did he pros-

per at his “Devil’s Bowl.” He

purchased another track in

Albany and once again he

worked his magic once again.

Today his legacy lives on

and if you go to the Albany

track you will find his kids in

charge.

God bless C.J. Richards. I

wonder what he’s scheming

right now?

Mark Fox will discuss the story

of gender development and con-

troversy in humans at 4 p.m. on

Sunday, March 4, at the Iron

Lantern Restaurant in Castleton.

The lecture, which is titled

“The Ambivalent Egg: Gender

and the Olympics,” is the latest

in a series of lectures sponsored

by the Friends of the Castleton

Free Library, dubbed Science

Pubs.

In a post on Castleton College’s

website, Fox says he will discuss,

among other issues, the contro-

versy around the gender of

Castor Semenya, who won the

gold at the World Championship

of Athletics in 2009.

Science Pubs are a series of

informal lectures on topics of sci-

entific interest in a pub setting.

Events are held once a month

from November through April at

either the Iron Lantern

Restaurant in Castleton or the

Lakehouse Pub and Grille in

Bomoseen.

Helen Mango will wrap up the

series at 4 p.m. on Sunday, April 1

at the Lakehouse Pub and Grille

with a lecture entitled “Arsenic in

Our Groundwater: Natural, But is

it good for you?”

Science Pubs are free to attend,

although patrons are responsible

for their drinks and food.
