State officials Say “Don’t Move Firewood!”: As we move into the height of the camping, vacationing, and barbequing season, The State of Vermont is urging residents to use local firewood. For the sake of forest health, wood should not be moved more than fifty miles from its point of origin. “Firewood can harbor harmful diseases or pests, which could spread when it is relocated,” according to State Survey Coordinator Emilie Inoue, with the Agency of Agriculture. Press Release
Low Flying Planes in VT Solves: Planes from the 143rd Airlift Wing based out of North Kingston, R.I. regularly fly low-level training flight, just 500 feet off the ground, in Vermont.

A panel of judges awards prizes for the photos with the most artistic merit, and the winners of the popular vote appear in the next calendar.
This year the judges awarded first prize in the adult category to Gail Verheyen for her picture entitled Blaze of Glory. First prize in the young adult category went to Seth Matlofsky for Waterfall, and the first prize in the children’s category was awarded to Emery Benoit for Spring Sunshine.
The picture voted Best in Show by popular vote was New Born Fawn by Robin Varga.

Calendars will be on display and for sale at various locations beginning in early November. Proceeds from the sale of the calendars helps support the initiatives and projects of the CCCA.
3. Lotions, Potions and Notions-18th through mid 19th Century Folk Cures
What did the founding families in Cavendish-Coffeen, Dutton and Proctor- have in common? The founders and their wives all lived well into old age, even by today’s standards. John Coffeen died at 75 and his wife at 94. Salmon Dutton was 80 and his wife Sarah was 83. Rounding out the group was Leonard Proctor who was 93 and his wife was 84 at the time of their passing. Interestingly, there was no doctor to treat the family, so what was their secret?
At the July 15 program, Lotions, Potions and Notions, the various health care practices from the late 1700’s through the Civil War will be discussed. Leading this workshop will be Margo Caulfield, Coordinator of the Cavendish Historical Society and Co-Director of Chronic Conditions Information Network.
According to Caulfield, “One of the things to notes about these early founders, they naturally lived nearly all of the Nine Principles of a Blue Zone.” Blue Zones refer to those parts of the world with the highest concentration of male centenarians. “The daily life of the early settlers would have naturally included exercise, a sense of belonging and community as well as a sense of purpose; strong family life; and a diet of whole foods.”
In addition to exploring the various herbs and practices of this era, dental care will also be demonstrated.
This free program will be held on Sunday July 15 at 2 pm at the Cavendish Historical Society on Main Street in Cavendish. FMI: 802-226-7807 or margoc@tds.net
4. BRGN Furniture Donations Letter
A little over a month ago Black River Good Neighbor Services opened a used furniture store in Ludlow. For over twenty five years BRGNS has served the community with a thrift store that depends on the generous donation of goods from the area, and we deeply appreciate all of the donations we receive.
The furniture store accepts donations of quality furniture, but only by previously arranged appointment. We cannot handle goods left outside of our property during the night or on days we are closed. Recently several items were abandoned outside the store. Before we were able to deal with them, it poured rain, rendering them useless. We had to call volunteers to come and haul it all to the transfer station – making work and costing us money that should be going to help those in need.
Again, the Board and staff of BRGNS are extremely grateful for all the support we receive from our kind and generous neighbors. We will continue spending the store profits on food and other programs to help those who are less fortunate in Ludlow, Belmont, Cavendish, Mt. Holly, Plymouth and Proctorsville. But it is important to remember that anyone with a potential furniture donation should first call 228-3663. We will advise whether or not we can use the items offered and we can arrange a mutually convenient time to donate.
With many thanks,
Peter LaBelle, President
BRGNS Board of Directors
5. Cavendish Civil War History: Civil War and WWII Writings
It has been interesting to read the writings from Cavendish enlisted personal who served in the Civil War and WWII. Jesse Adams was born in Cavendish and joined as a private in Co. “F:, 3rd Reg’t Vermont Volunteers, also known as the Hartford, VT Company. Under 18 years old when he enlisted, his father had to provide written permission. His first experience outside of his hometown, was being sent to Camp Baxter, a union training camp near St. Johnsbury. Ultimately, he died of disease at Camp Griffith, VA at the age of 19. His letters home were kept by his mother and some are available on-line.
Dear Father: I now take my pen in hand to let you know I get along. I arrived here safe and sound. We had not gone more than five miles before there was a row started by a fellow by the name of Miles, a member of our company. It began in fun in the first place. Miles and Jim Welch got to sparing and Jim gave him the worst of it and he quit and pitched on to Dick Abbott and they were clipping away smartly when the Capt. stepped between them and Miles pitched on to Capt. Tom [Seaver] and there was some smart work for about a minute when the Capt. caught him by the throat and brought him into a seat in a great hurry. ... When Ayers our drill master came up and tried to quiet him, it could not be done. He [Miles] told Ayers to kiss his damned ass, but instead he hit him in the eye and it stilled him for a minute.
Imogene Baxendale, born Imogene Demarius Morse, entered the war for a very different reason than Adams. As she writes in her diary, “I had wanted to serve Armed Forces from the first, but knowing Bob [her husband Robert Baxendale] could never get in, and Mother in failing health, I felt I was needed at home. But after our unexpected break [she and Baxendale divorced] came and I had tried every way I knew to bring us back together, loneliness drove me to it. “
Baxendale became a Red Cross Nurse, Nov 1, 1944 at Headquarters Mass Ave. Boston. She was sent to the Pacific theater in places such as Manilla, Okinawa, Nagasaki, Okazki, and Toyoko. As she writes in her diary, Nov.15-17, 1945-Went through final separation channels and at 6 pm on eve of my 38 birthday I saw last of duty for Uncle Sam and Al & I started for 208 W. Wilson Ave. Bellmore. I arrive home Thanksgiving eve by way of Boston. And Dec. 3 my Terminal Leave was over and I once more became a civilian with some Hard Knocks to show for my experience but something I wouldn’t missed for world.” Her arrival back in Cavendish must have created quite a stir. She writes, Said goodbye to folks Boston & returned to my own little nest in VT hills on Thanksgiving eve. Mother God bless her not knowing what day or what train I was coming on met every train. Erminie Pollard was on same train so took me home so mother didn’t know I had arrived so I put my bags on porch & went up street to meet her. I thought she was going to collapse on me when I walked up to her in dark & took her in my arms.
My next few weeks were spent not far from the fire side or Mother’s sight. My trunks & baggage finally all arrived and Dec 3 my terminal leave was over & I once more became and every day civilian. Never realized has so many friends. The Wallace McNulty Hoyle Legion Post # 4 have all ready made me a member before I returned.
Baxendale lived to be 84, dying from complications of pneumonia and heart failure at the Springfield Convalescent Center in Springfield, VT on 3 Nov., 1992. Her diary is now at the Cavendish Historical Society Museum, along with a transcript of the text completed by Sandra Stearns

Two Heat Records Set in VT: The National Weather Service says two more high temperature records have been set in Vermont. The high of 97 in Burlington yesterday, 6/21/12, eclipsed the previous high of 95, set in 1953. The top of Mount Mansfield, Vermont's highest peak, hit a high of 77, beating the previous high of 76, set in 1988. VPR

Length of Unemployment Benefits in VT to Drop:. As of June 23, federal Tier 2 extended benefits will be phased out in the state.

2. May CTES Board Minutes
Minutes from the May Cavendish Town Elementary School board meeting have been posted to the Cavendish VT Blog.
3. “Indian Books” to be Part of Cavendish Summer Fest on June 30
The Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) is pleased to announce that McKenney & Hall’s “A History of the Indian Tribes of North America,” will be part of the June 30 Summer Fest activities. Often referred to as “the Indian Books,” they are owned by the Cavendish Fletcher Memorial Library and are usually kept in climate-controlled storage at the Vermont Historical Center in Barre. For this one-day, visitors to the CHS Museum, can see the actual books.
As has been the CHS tradition, the Saturday before 4th of July is the annual plant sale. Started by landscape architect Craig Rankin, the sale is known for its hearty hosta. Since Craig believed, “a hosta in every garden,” the prices are very affordable. We are happy to report that even though Craig maybe gone now, his granddaughter Elizabeth Rankin, shortly before she gave birth this spring, transplanted 150 hosta. As Elizabeth noted, “I was born to transplant hosta.” A special note of thanks to Pieter van Schaik who continues to keep this tradition alive.
In addition to the plant sale, which gets underway at 9 am, CHS is offering “pie for breakfast.” Other activities of the day include:
• A silent auction (up to 12:45) and live auction (1 PM);
• Activities for children (bouncy house and face painting);
• The now famous Moonlite Meadows BBQ (the meat comes from cows and lambs raised on their Cavendish farm);
• Non partisan voter registration (Democratic Party booth)
• Farmstead Cheese and a host of other vendors.
The Museum’s exhibits this summer feature a 250-year Cavendish historical timeline and an exhibit on the 1927 and 2011 floods. If you have pictures or other items you would like included in the Flood exhibit, and eventually the Society’s archives, this is a good day to bring them in. All of these activities will take place at the CHS Museum on Main Street in Cavendish. Parking is available at Mack Molding.
The Cavendish Fire Department will also be holding their annual chicken BBQ at the fire station, just a short walk from the Museum and the Mack Molding parking lot. FMI: margoc@tds.net or 802-226-7807

5. Author of “A Mighty Storm” at Crows Bakery Café
Although Tropical Storm Irene is nearly a year behind us, memories of its destruction remain fresh. Vermont journalist Yvonne Daley's book, A Mighty Storm, chronicles its aftermath with dramatic photographs and stories of the people, towns and organizations that sustained losses. On Sunday July 15 Daley will speak about the resilience of Vermonters in the face of adversity and read selections from her book at Crows Corner Bakery Cafe in Proctorsville. Among the many people who were impacted by Irene, residents of Proctorsville and Cavendish showed their true spirit, reaching out to one another, solving problems creatively and otherwise demonstrating that Vermonters know how to work together. Still, much needs to be done. Proceeds from A Mighty Storm have already raised $40,000 for three special benefit funds; proceeds from the sales of books at this reading will go directly to local funds for area residents who sustained losses in the storm. Yvonne Daley will read, tell stories and take questions 6:00-8:00 p.m. Coffee and desserts will be available. Crows Corner is at 73 Depot Street in Proctorsville.
6. Proctorsville’s Little Village Farm Needs Your Vote
Cavendish’s CSA, Little Village Farm, was impacted by Irene. However, they have big dreams for the farm in the coming years. They recently learned of an opportunity that could fast track their plans to build a farm stand / outdoor demonstration and canning kitchen, increase equipment, drill their own well for irrigation, update the walk-in cooler, get a dumpy trailer for soil and much more, but they need your help! Mission Small Business is a partnership between Chase and Living Social. They are ready to give 12, $250,000 grants to small business around the country making a difference in their communities! With voting closing the end of June, vote now as they need a total of 250 votes to qualify. Then, they write their essay application and pray!!
