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

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.

PTO is hosting its 12th annual
Mettawee Mania: A Talent
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.
The historic town office building in Castleton is shown in this file photo.

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.

“Wintertime Blues: Pie for
Breakfast,” which runs from 8
a.m. to 10 a.m. at the library this
Saturday, March 3.
Admission is $6 for adults, $4
for children four to 12, and free
for those under four.
Mathewson said the pies are
thinly sliced so people can get
plenty of samples. There will
also be tea, coffee and juice.
“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.

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.

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
