VeteransContinued from front page

Rupert and Tinmouth have a

tasty treat for those who might

not be so handy with a gun but

like wild game just the same –

and they are all put on for a

good cause.

In Pawlet, the annual Wild

Game and Chicken Pie Supper

will be held on Saturday, Nov.

12, at the Pawlet Fire

Department. Food will be served

starting at 5 p.m.

The supper, which has been a

tradition in Pawlet for the past

43 years, is held on the first

Saturday of the Vermont deer

hunting rifle season.

The recipient of the funds

raised through the dinner, the

Pawlet Volunteer Fire

Department, solicits donations

of game meat for the wildly suc-

cessful dinner which often sees

a line of anxious diners run-

ning out the firehouse door and

down Route 133.

Leading up to the meal, local

residents and even game war-

dens donate myriad kinds of

meat -- bear, venison, moose --

which are used to create many

of the main dishes. Others chip

in with squash or other dishes

During the meal firefighters’

wives and volunteers assist in

serving the hungry mass of

people. The firefighters them-

selves usually serve and the

youth firefighters help out any

way they can like busing tables

and carrying empty dishes back

to the kitchen.

The menu is quite extensive

and includes moose meatballs,

venison or moose sausage, bear

roast, venison roast, chicken

pie, stew, chicken and biscuits,

mashed potatoes, squash, meat-

loaf, salads, rolls, Cabot cheese,

pickles, pies and more.

All that delicious food

attracts a crowd numbered in

the hundreds.

Although the dinner attracts

a sizable proportion of the local

citizenry, allowing old friends

and neighbors a chance to catch

up on the happenstance of their

lives, a large percentage of the

diners come from out of town.

Some begin lining up as early

as 3:30 p.m. with dinner typical-

ly served around 5 p.m.

The cost of the meal remains

a bargain at $12 for adults and

$6 for children under 12 years

old with proceeds benefiting the

Pawlet Volunteer Fire

Department.

For more information about

Pawlet’s Wild Game Supper, call

Ellen Petty at (802) 325-3495 or

e-mail the department at

[email protected].

The seventh- and eighth- grade students

of Castleton Village School would like to

show their appreciation to the Veterans for

all that they have done for our country and

our community. We would like to invite the

Veterans to the 10th annual spaghetti dinner

from 5 to 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 20, from 5 to

7 P.M., at the Castleton American Legion

Post 50.

The veterans spaghetti dinner will be pro-

vided free of charge to all Veterans and their

families. Hope to see you there.

Across the country, thou-

sands of people are gathering

for monthly science pubs --

informal lectures combined

with food and drink that cover

anything from the physics of

flight to the nature vs. nurture

debate to the chemistry of

groundwater.

And now, Science Pub is com-

ing to the Castleton area.

Burlington is the only other

place in Vermont that has sci-

ence pubs .

“People have a thirst for

understanding the science that

affects our everyday lives, but it

can be difficult to keep up once

you leave school. By combining

science with drinks and food

and socializing with neighbors

in a pub setting, science

becomes accessible and fun,”

said Martha Molnar of the

Friends of Castleton Free

Library, the organization host-

ing the series with Castleton

State College professors. Each

Science Pub will be held on the

first Sunday of the month at

area restaurants. The afternoon

will start with a short lecture,

followed by questions and

answers and what organizers

hope will be a lively discussion.

“The experience is far more

personal and meaningful than

that of a lecture hall or stuffy

speaker series,” Molnar added.

“And, it takes place during the

cold months when outdoor con-

certs and fairs are over, and

people are looking for exciting

activities.”

There are about 150 Science

Pubs operating in the U.S. and

around the world. The Colorado

Cafe Scientifique in Denver,

launched in 2003, claims to be

the oldest in the U.S.The Castleton Science Pubs

are free, except for drinks and

food people order.

For more information, con-

tact Castleton Free Library at

468-5574 and at castletonfreeli-

brary.org/friends/

The schedule is as follows:

On Nov. 6, Dr. Cynthia

Moulton, Professor of Biology

at Castleton State College, will

discuss “ Is Our War on Bacteria

Making Us Sick?” She will talk

about products from children’s

scissors to to th paste boast

antimicrobial properties,

designed to protect us. But our

war on bacteria may be endan-

gering our health and environ-

ment.

The event will be at 4 p.m., at

the Lakehouse Pub & Grille.

On Dec. 4, Dr. John Klein,

Chairman of Psychology

Department at Castleton, will-

present “Just How Blank Is

That Slate?,” which will focus

on the old, the new, and the lat-

est on the nature vs. nurture

debate.

This event will be held at the

Iron Lantern in Castleton.

On Jan. 8, Castleton History

Department chairman Dr.

Jonathan Spiro will discuss

“When Nature Was Supreme,

“ the way the infamous eugen-

ics movement of the first half

of the

20th century influenced the

U.S. ban on immigration, the

sterilization of thousands of

our citizens, and Nazi policies

– all in the name of science.

That location has yet to be

determined.

School to hold benefit raffle

The northeastern stock car

racing community got big news

about Devil’s Bowl Speedway.

last weekend. Nearly 150 driv-

ers, team owners, and crew

members gathered Sunday at

the track’s first “town meeting”

to discuss the West Haven, Vt.

facility’s future.

Meeting with new Devil’s

Bowl Speedway owner/promot-

ers Mike and Alayne Bruno in a

segmented, open-forum summit

that lasted more than five hours,

racers from all over Vermont,

New York, and New Hampshire

expressed suggestions, con-

cerns, and progressive ideas to

lead the track into the future.

“I am honored by the turnout

that we had here for the Devil’s

Bowl town meeting,” said Mike

Bruno, who spoke with competi-

tors at the Holiday Inn-Rutland

in Rutland, VT. “The support

already being shown for our

new effort is overwhelming.

Everyone knows that we’ve got

work to do, but it appears that

the racers want to work togeth-

er and with us as managers for

the betterment of everyone.

That’s very, very important.”

The town meeting was bro-

ken into three segments -- the

open-wheel Modified division,

full-fender asphalt Late Models,

and a combined meeting for

eight-cylinder Renegades and

four-cylinder Bombers -- with

questions asked and answered

specific to each group. Items

discussed included rules on

engines and tires for each divi-

sion, race purses, technical

inspection policies, race proce-

dure policies, race dates and

start times, and ways to bring

competitors together as a com-

munity.

True to the intent of the first

town meeting, few absolute

decisions were made by man-

agement. Input was received

from nearly every attendee,

however, and future meetings

will be held during the off-sea-

son to discuss matters further.

“The lines of communica-

tion are open, and that’s what

we wanted to establish,” Alayne

Bruno said. “We were confident

before the meeting that we

would be able to elevate Devil’s

Bowl into, as we’re saying, ‘a

place you want to race’ in 2012.

The town meeting backed up

that belief. Sunday was a great

day for this race track.”

Announcements will be

made in the coming weeks

regarding all facets of the 2012

season at Devil’s Bowl Speedway.

For more information, email

devilsbowlspeedway@gmail.

The Town of Pawlet Energy

Group will be hosting a Button

Up Vermont workshop from 7 to

9 p.m., Monday, Nov. 14 at the

Pawlet Town Hall. Button Up

Vermont is an informational

session designed to help

Vermonters learn the basics of

building science and how to

improve energy efficiency in

their homes.

The free workshop was origi-

nally developed in 2008 by

Central Vermont Community

Action Council and is offered

this year in partnership with

Efficiency Vermont. It includes

an overview of why building

efficiency is so important here

in Vermont, illustrates how

homes lose energy, and outlines

clear steps that homeowners

can take to address this energy

loss. A BPI-certified contractor

is the main presenter and ques-

tions are encouraged.

Owners of homes and busi-

nesses in Poultney and the sur-

rounding area are invited to

attend the two-hour session to

learn about actions they can

take to lower energy bills and

make their homes and business-

es more comfortable and afford-

able.

Officials said the workshop

is being offered in Poultney

because with ith rising heating

costs, everyone needs to be

thinking about ways to make

their homes more efficient,.

The sixth grade’s Basket

Party Oct 29 raised more than

$3.400 -- in admission fees, extra

raffle ticket proceeds and con-

cessions -- to help underwrite

the class’ spring trip to Boston!

Some 170+ “baskets” were raf-

fled off.

Basket Party attendees

bringing non-perishable food

items to support local food pan-

tries were entered into a sepa-

rate “special” raffle. A total of

394 food items were brought in

and divided up between 2 local

food pantries (serving the towns

of Pawlet and Rupert).

The class gratefully acknowl-

edges all the businesses and

community members, as well as

the class volunteers - students

and parents - who made the

event such a huge success.

Special thanks to event organiz-

ers: Ellie Park, Brooke

Burnham, Sue Wood, Cynthia

D’Andrea and Kim Perkins.

The 1896 Schoolhouse on the

East Poultney green is undergo-

ing a facelift. Residents driving

by this winter, will see the

beginnings of a restoration to

its original design.

The front façade of the larg-

est of the Poultney Historical

Society museums has already

been scraped and prepped and

will be primed before winter.

The remainder of the job will

be completed in the spring of

2012, ready for the opening of

the Society’s museums in June.

Due to Vermont’s harsh win-

ters, this historic Schoolhouse

is now in dire need of a new

coat of paint and some repairs

to protect it from further dete-

rioration. This is where the

bulk of the artifacts donated by

Poultney families since 1935 are

housed and cared for.

Tropical Storm Irene

delayed the project, as nearly

every construction and paint-

ing company in Vermont was

busy this fall with emergency

repairs.

Thanks to the generosity of

Poultney voters, the Poultney

Historical Society will receive

$10,000 this year and will apply

it against the total cost of the

job. This money also allowed

the Society to apply for and

receive a grant for the remain-

der of the costs from the

Preservation Trust of Vermont.

As with most foundations, they

were looking to see support

from the community, and they

did.

Over the years, there have

been a number of paint designs

for the building…it was all

white in the 1970s and 80s, but

its last painting in 1996 brought

back the three-tone color

scheme typical of its Queen

Anne-style architecture.

This time, the Historical

Society has determined to rec-

reate the paint scheme from

early photos of the Schoolhouse.

Although, the pictures can’t

show colors, they can show the

relative contrast of the colors.

It’s this look that will be

restored with some of the origi-

nal colors determined by paint

analysis.

The Historical Society

received several bids, all from

local paint companies, and set-

tled on Luxbrush/Restoration

by Miles out of Manchester,

Vermont. This is the same com-

pany that did such a fine job

restoring seven of the 53

Schoolhouse windows last year.

poultneyhistoricalsociety.org

the 1896 Schoolhouse

Restoration Project.

along with Caren Helm’s

“Pizzazz” pottery might give

you some early gift ideas for

the holidays.

And speaking of gifted, we

liked Steve Sawyer music so

much the first time he played

we’ve invited him back to

charm the crowd with his

Come check out her great

regional tastes at this First

Friday.
