ST. JOHNSBURY — A Northeast Kingdom
man must now stay at least 300 feet away from
movie actor Luis Guzman.
Guzman, 58, who lives in Caledonia County,
ﬁled for and was granted a temporary restraining
order on April 27 against Joda Hodge, 39, in
Caledonia Superior Court. Guzman claimed that
Hodge was stalking him and engaging in threatening behavior.
A ﬁnal relief from stalking hearing was held
Thursday but just as Guzman and Hodge were
about to be sworn in Hodge told the court he’d
rather settle the matter by mutual agreement
with Guzman. Guzman agreed and while the
court did not ﬁnd evidence of stalking, Hodge
leen Manley who gave Hodge the option to settle the complaint without taking testimony.
Manley began the hearing by telling Hodge and
Guzman that there were two ways to proceed.
The ﬁrst was to get sworn in and testify, leaving
it to Manley to decide whether there was enough
evidence of stalking to make Guzman’s temporary restraining order permanent.
The second option, said Manley, was by

ST. JOHNSBURY — Community collaboration continues
following the start of an initiative that brings residents together for the sake of their town’s future.
More than 80 people have signed up to work ﬁve task
forces aimed at affecting positive change in areas identiﬁed
by residents during a May 12 forum at St. Johnsbury School.
The task force missions are to develop the St. Johnsbury
riverfront, improve downtown housing, redevelop and revitalize downtown buildings, establish a warming shelter for
homeless people, and improve community communications

Blues Legend B.B. King Rocked A Sold-out
Show At Lyndon Institute In The 1980s
By Jay Craven
I founded Catamount Arts 40 years
ago, on May 2, 1975 – and I ran it for 16
years. Catamount started as a weekly
ﬁlm series, running independent, classic,
and foreign ﬁlms at multiple North
Country venues—but I expanded the
ﬁlm series to experiment with live performances during the early 1980s. I
started the performance series with some
popular acts like a cappella soul singers,
The Persuasions, folkies Mary McCaslin
and Jim Ringer, bluegrass ace Doc Watson, and dance and theater acts like The
Ohio Ballet and the American Repertory
Theater’s “Sganarelle” farces by
Moliere.
Those early years of performances
were exciting for the way they brought
people together for moments of shared
community, animated by a fabulous
show on stage. After the ﬁrst couple of
successful years of staging live acts, and
encouraged by board members including
music enthusiast and banjo player Sal
DeMaio, I decided to take a really big
gamble with a show I thought would be
like no other.
I contacted the agent and negotiated
to ﬁnd a date that might work for the
Northeast Kingdom. The month was
February, when snowy weather can ruin
the best-laid plans. But the artist was en
route to Montreal and it looked like the
date might work. But the money was
more than I’d ever paid: $10,000 for a
show in the 630-seat Lyndon Institute
Auditorium. I agreed to the take the
chance.
The artist was legendary blues guitar
master B.B. King.
King died on May 14 and accolades
have poured in from around the world
since then for this trail-blazing artist and
humanitarian who, as the New York
Times noted in its obituary, “married
country blues to big-city rhythms and
created a sound instantly recognizable to
millions: a stinging guitar with a shimmering vibrato, notes that coiled and
leapt like an animal, and a voice that
groaned and bent with the weight of lust,
longing and lost love.”
As soon as our B.B. King concert was
announced, orders piled up. Back in
those days, I used my Barnet home
phone and a $30 answering machine to
take calls from people looking for tickets. And I’d sit on my living room ﬂoor,
sorting through a seating chart, strands
of pre-printed pink tickets, and envelopes I’d address by hand and send
from my mailbox on the dirt road outside my house. The top ticket price was

An earth moving horde of excavators and dump trucks will
descend on West Barnet in September.
Workers after Labor Day will remove tons of sediment
piled behind Harvey’s Lake Dam. The permitted project,
which will reduce sediment back ﬂow into the lake, is expected to last several weeks and cost around $100,000 funded
by budget earmarks and reserves.
“It’s going to require some pretty big trucks,” said Selectman Dylan Ford. “It’s amazing how much silt has built up
behind there. This will really make Harvey’s a lot healthier.”
Consultant Bob Desrochers, owner of Fairbanks Mill in St.
Johnsbury, said sediment back-ﬂows into Harvey’s Lake durSee Sediment, Page A6

B.B. King and his band pulled into the LynBurke
Motel following their sold-out concert in the mid1980s held at Lyndon Institute.
The legendary blues singer and guitarist died at age
89 on May 14. There is a public viewing of his body
today in Las Vegas, the city he called home. His body
will be laid to rest in his native state of Mississippi later
this month.
King was very much in the prime of his worldrenowned musical career when he came to the Kingdom through the efforts of then-Catamount Arts
Director Jay Craven.
His band, even in street clothes, stood out in the
Northeast Kingdom. It was the era of mod clothes and
the “Superﬂy” look and the band was dressed in broadbrimmed hats, bell bottom pants and stylish boots. It
was a city look, and this is the Northeast Kingdom.
King had a tour manager who doubled as a personal
aide to King. He was Hispanic and funny, good-natured, lively and fun.
The owners of the LynBurke Motel, Arthur and
Jeanne Elliott, lived in an apartment that included the
lobby and front desk of the motel. An easy-going couple, they quickly shared their living space with the
band members. King’s manager stored special foods
and medicines in the Elliotts’ fridge and borrowed their
blender. He was in charge of King’s special diet and
medicines.
He fought a battle to make sure King practiced
healthy living. As he chopped up various health-conSee lodges, Page A6

Good Samaritan helps rescue loon
CORNISH, N.H. (AP) — A good Samaritan has come to the aid of a
trapped loon in a pond next to the post ofﬁce in Cornish, New Hampshire.
Carla Skinder says the bird was unable to ﬂy out of the marshy area.
After getting some advice from experts, she watched the bird for a couple
of days and then participated in a canoe rescue with a loon specialist. It
took a while, but Skinder tells the Eagle Times the bird ran into a net and
she was able to grab it and hold it above water.
The loon was brought to a veterinarian, then to an animal rehabilitator
who helped hydrate the bird so it could be released back into the wild last
week. The loon was released into a pond north of Cornish.

Daily Weather Highlights
As a surface cold front sweeps
through from the northwest today, an
upper-level disturbance will move in behind it, prompting cool and blustery conditions. Even though the winds might not
fully die down overnight, abnormally cold
air ﬂowing in from the northwest might
be so cold as to drop temperatures
below freezing. A ridge of high pressure
will provide sunshine tomorrow, but
breezy and cool conditions will persist.
Southwesterly ﬂow around high pressure
off the mid-Atlantic coast will then bring
a warming trend for Sunday and Monday, allowing temperatures to reach or
exceed 70 degrees. But a slight chance
of showers will work into the picture during that time, a chance that will continue
into Tuesday, as a warm front enters the
region, likely to push temperature into
the 70s and 80s by the middle of next
week, says Lawrence Hayes of the Fairbanks Museum weather station.

WINOOSKI, Vt. (AP) — Police are looking for a man who robbed a
convenience store in Winooski, Vermont.
Police say they responded to a panic alarm at the Champlain Farms just
before 9 p.m. Wednesday.
The suspect made off with an undisclosed amount of cash.
WCAX-TV reports (http://bit.ly/1F3QIFe ) that the suspect is described
as about 5-foot-11, and was wearing a baseball cap, sunglasses and possibly a gray T-shirt.
Anyone with information about the robbery is asked to call the

Forest Service investigates damage
at mountain cabin, tower
STRATTON, Vt. (AP) — The U.S. Forest Service is looking for some
help in its investigation of vandalism to a historic cabin and ﬁre tower at
Stratton Mountain.
Ofﬁcials believe the damage happened sometime before May 16.
The forest service says the caretaker’s cabin, built in 1928, and the 55foot tower, built in 1934, are landmarks in the origin of both Vermont’s
Long Trail and the Appalachian National Scenic Trail. Both are listed on
the National Register of Historic Places.
The Bennington Banner reports the forest service says the shelter provides cover for Green Mountain Club caretakers who have looked after
long-distance and day hikers.
The forest service asks that anyone with information contact the Green
Mountain National Forest Law Enforcement division at 802-362-2307,
ext. 222.
Police: Randolph woman caught
with heroin twice in 14 hours
RANDOLPH, Vt. (AP) — Ofﬁcials say police arrested a Randolph,
Vermont, woman on heroin possession charges twice within 14 hours.
The Rutland Herald reports (http://bit.ly/1HjvROH ) Tara Bent was ﬁrst
found in possession of 70 bags of heroin during a trafﬁc stop Sunday afternoon in Royalton.
Vermont State Police Sgt. John Helfant said the 24-year-old Bent was
held for about two hours and released.
Police say Bent was then stopped again a little after 2 a.m. Monday on
Interstate 91 in Rockingham. Ofﬁcers found 50 bags of heroin hidden on
Bent’s body.
Bent posted $10,000 bail at Southern State Correctional Facility in

Small plane overturns on
runway, pilot not injured
MORRISTOWN, Vt. (AP) — Police say a small plane overturned as it
was landing at the Morrisville-Stowe State Airport in Vermont.
The pilot told police that while landing in a crosswind on Thursday, the
wind direction shifted — causing him to lose control of the aircraft once
he had touched down. Authorities say the wind and emergency braking
system caused the aircraft to pitch forward and roll on its roof at the edge
of the runway.
Police say the experienced pilot, 68-year-old Leonard Wing, was uninjured and outside of the single engine Piper Cub-style aircraft when police
arrived.
Vermont joins international
effort to ﬁght climate change
MONTPELIER, Vt. (AP) — Gov. Peter Shumlin says Vermont has
signed on to what he called a ﬁrst-of-its-kind agreement with international
leaders from 11 other states and provinces to combat climate change.
Signers have pledged to work to limit increases in global temperatures
to no more than 2 degrees Celsius — and to reduce carbon emissions to
no more than 95 percent of 1990 levels — by 2050.
Strategies include sharing technology and research, collaborating to expand use of zero-emission vehicles, working for more consistent emissions
monitoring, focusing anti-pollution efforts on substances key to the climate
— like black carbon and methane — and assessing the projected impacts
of climate change on communities.
Participants in the new agreement include four U.S. states, two Canadian provinces and parts of European, Latin American and Paciﬁc nations.
US Customs: Report those border boats
DERBY LINE — U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) is reminding individuals how to process small vessel arrivals, including inperson immigration processing, during this year’s boating season via Small
Vessel Reporting System (SVRS).
The SVRS, online reporting tool, is a voluntary program and will expedite the entry process for participating boaters coming back into the U.S.
The system is open to all U.S. citizens and permanent residents, Canadian citizens, Canadian landed commonwealth residents and Canadian
landed immigrants who are nationals of a Visa Waiver Program country
and have a valid passport and an Electronic System for Travel Authorization (ESTA); or hold a U.S. visa for admittance, a valid passport, and a
CBP Form I-94.
Boat owners and passengers can ﬁll out an online application at the
Small Vessel Reporting System on the CBP website and schedule a visit
to an enrollment center near them to apply to the program. Interviews conducted locally will be at the Port of Derby Line, Vt. Interstate 91 (I-91)
between the hours of 0800 – 2000. There is no fee to apply to the program
and boat owners or passengers who are currently members of a CBP
Trusted Traveler Program (e.g. NEXUS or Global Entry), or who hold a
current form I-68, can enroll without visiting the Port of Derby Line, VT.
Once enrolled, boat owners ﬁle a small vessel reporting ﬂoat plan prior
to their departure if the trip begins in the U.S., or prior to their entry into
the U.S. if the trip begins foreign. Upon arrival in the U.S., boat masters
can then call CBP at the closest port of entry with the ﬂoat plan identiﬁcation number received when the plan was ﬁled, answer a few questions pertinent to their arrival and receive clearance to enter the U.S.
CBP ofﬁcers will also be available at the Newport City Dock on Lake
Memphremagog, to process small vessel arrivals.
Boaters are reminded that the master or person in charge of the boat
must report their arrival to CBP. This applies to any vessel not engaged in
trade, or documented trade such as pleasure boats and yachts, regardless
of size and country of registration.
When reporting is required
• After having visited any foreign port or place;
• After having had contact with any hovering vessel.
reporting procedure
Masters, crew and passengers must report their arrival immediately
upon entering the United States. Boat owners/operators entering the United
States via Lake Memphremagog are reminded that they are responsible
for reporting themselves, their crew, and their passengers. They can report
by going to the Newport City Boat Dock to speak to a CBP ofﬁcer, utilizing the Outlying Area Reporting Station (OARS) videophone or by calling
1-802-873-3316 if enrolled in SVRS.
The master or designee may go ashore only to report their arrival to
CBP. No other person may leave or board the boat and no baggage or merchandise may be removed or loaded until the report of arrival is made and
release granted by a CBP ofﬁcer. This includes purchasing fuel from the
Newport City Dock prior to reporting.
If all persons on board are in possession of a valid CBP Form I-68 or
NEXUS card the master may report their arrival telephonically by calling
1-802-873-3316. The Master will be advised as to whether to report for
further inspection to the Newport City Dock. CBP encourages members
of the boating community to obtain a CBP Form I-68 or enroll in NEXUS
or SVRS, as it allows for signiﬁcantly faster processing times. A CBP Form
I-68 can be locally obtained at the Port of Derby Line, Vt., I-91.
Failure to report can result in civil penalties as deﬁned in Title 19, United
States Code, Section 1436 to include a penalty of $5,000 for the ﬁrst violation and $10,000 for each subsequent violation with the conveyance subject to seizure and forfeiture.

LYNDON’S RECYCLING CONTRACTOR EXPLAINS RULES OF CURBSIDE PICK UP
By JameS Jardine
Staff Writer
Trash talk has been a frequent
topic lately as the town transitions
to a new process of garbage and
recyclable collection, and Monday’s select board meeting furthered the conversation about
recycling.
Daniel Lecour, proprietor of
TDL, the family owned recycling
contractor who just contracted to
pick up and transport the Lyndon’s
curbside recycling, was at the public information meeting to answer
residents’ questions on how the
town’s new recycling plans will
work.
Selectman Kermit Fisher began
by introducing Selectman Marty
Feltus, telling those present,

FORMER ST. JOHNSBURY ACADEMY DORM
STUDENT CONVICTED OF CHILD PORN
By Todd WellingTon
Staff Writer
A former St. Johnsbury Academy dorm student has been convicted of possessing child
pornography on his computer two
years ago.
Barrett Castle, 19, pleaded
guilty to two amended counts of
possession of child pornography
in exchange for a sentence of 3-4
years, all suspended with probation. Castle was also ordered to
perform 60 hours of community
service as part of the plea agreement. The deal was agreed to by
Castle and prosecutors with the
Vermont Attorney General’s Ofﬁce in December of 2014 and approved by the court on May 18.
Castle was also ordered to
comply with sex offender special
conditions of probation including
sex offender treatment and restrictions on his computer use
and loitering in places where
young children are congregating
such as parks, playgrounds and
grade schools.
According to an afﬁdavit ﬁled
by Det. Robert Snetsinger of the
Vermont Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force Castle
emailed images from his computer on Dec. 13, 2013, of young
children pictured in graphic sexual positions.
According to investigators,
Castle was a dorm student from
Williamsville, N.Y. was living in
the SJA Green Dorm when the
images were sent. Castle told police he was attempting to trade
images with other users he contacted in child porn Internet “chat
rooms,” according to the report.
ways. Residents, if they wish, may
put sorted recyclables at the end of
the driveway (curbside) in separate
containers. TDL will do recycling
pickup twice a month. As part of
its annual solid waste fee, the town
will cover the cost of pickup of recyclables as well as sponsoring
two Bulky Days a year through the
Northeast Kingdom Waste Management District on Church Street
in Lyndon.
Residents may, if they wish,
choose to bring their recyclables
directly to the Waste Management
District. Lecour told the handful of
people attending the meeting that
recyclables must be sorted; there is
no Zero Sort option for recyclables
in Lyndon. The second requirement is recycled materials must be
rinsed. He spoke of rejecting pizza
boxes because they are too often
caked with grease and pizza sauce.
One of the tips shared by
Lecour is to keep a small magnet
handy to tell the difference between aluminum products and
metal products for purposes of recycling.
Lecour said waxed milk cartons
and Styrofoam are not recyclable.
He added that recyclers do not like
to accept prescription bill bottles
because, although they are plastic,
which is recyclable, the bottles are
so small they jam up sorting machines.
An important point raised by
Feltus and Lecour is that there are
many household items that are not
required to be recycled, but can be
recycled. Many of the recyclables
that are not required to be recycled, are readily accepted by the
Waste Management District.
Lecour added that in inclement
weather, recyclables should be
covered by a piece of canvas or a
sheet of plastic. Lecour will not
pickup rain-soaked recyclables.
Lecour added that people who
are recycling and put a non-recyclable item in the recycling bag
need not worry. Lecour does not
call the police; he’ll just throw the
item that is unacceptable back onto
the driveway and take the rest.
Those who wish to have recycling picked up curbside by TDL
should contact TDL Waste Services at 1-802-237-5755.
As Lyndon residents discussed
the threat of people dumping trash
illegally to avoid paying for stickers, Lecour said he’s been driving
all the roads in Lyndon for a couple of years now, and he has not
spotted much roadside illegal
dumping. He told the audience,
“Lyndon is as good as it gets. Lyndon is the cleanest town around.”

Crews from Green Mountain Power move wires Thursday on Summer Street to relocated utility poles owned by FairPoint Communications. The work is in accordance with an order issued this month to FairPoint by the St. Johnsbury Board of Selectmen
that mandates pole relocation by Aug. 15. About 100 poles are planted in town rights of way following infrastructure work and
roadway reconstruction. The pole relocation project demands a choreographed movement of wires belonging to pole users including Green Mountain Power, Charter Communications, Level 3 Communications, Sovernet Communications, and the St.

Dana Gray, Executive Editor
Editorial Comment …
Track Titans
If you pay attention to local high school sports like we do, then
you probably were pleased to see the White Mountains Regional
track and ﬁeld team compete at St. Johnsbury Academy on Wednesday.
The dual meet showcased some of the best talent in Vermont and
New Hampshire. The Hilltopper teams were deeper and captured
the overall boys’ and girls’ titles. But the Spartan stars - Alex Curtis,
Jessica Schanlaber, and Tim Voigt foremost among them - really
stood out. The aforementioned trio won eight events between them.
As they say in sports, you play to the level of your competition.
And that was clear in the clash between these track titans.
“Curtis pushed us in the 100 and the 200, we actually pushed her
to lower her best times, too,” SJA Coach Chip Langmaid pointed
out. And since the meet counts for both schools as a qualiﬁer for
States and New Englands, it’s a triple win.
According to Sportswriter Brendan Kozlowski, the clash between these two nearby track powers came about at the suggestion
of our multi-talented sports editor, Michael Beniash. “Michael
mentioned St. Johnsbury and White Mountains, and mentioned if
we could try to make things connect [in terms of a meet],” WMR
coach Mike Curtis said as he watched his daughter, Spartans senior
standout Alex, competing. “So we got in touch with St. Johnsbury
[Academy], and they were very accommodating.”
These two athletic programs are arguably the most successful in
our readership area. We hope this cross-river competition becomes
an annual event. It will be a terriﬁc addition to our rich local sports
landscape.
Letters to the Editor…
Memorial Day
to the editor:
Memorial Day or Decoration day was originally set for
honoring military personnel
who died in the Civil War, but
now honors those who have
died in any war while serving
our country. A legal holiday in
most northern states and some
southern states, a law making
it a federal holiday became effective in 1971. Southern
states have confederate honoring days such as Mississippi’s
Confederate Memorial Day,
the last Monday in April, Alabama’s is the fourth Monday,
Georgia’s is on April 26,
North and South Carolina’s is
May 10 and Virginia’s is the
last Monday in May,
Louisiana’s is on June 3rd.
Tennessee has Confederate
Decoration Day on June 3rd
and Texas’ Confederate Heroes Day falls on January
19th.
Several communities claim
to have originated Memorial
Day, but in 1966 our government proclaimed Waterloo,
New York, the birthplace of it.
Waterlooans first observed the
holiday on May 5th, 1966, to
honor American Civil War
dead soldiers, with closed
businesses, grave decorations
and flags at half mast.
Major General John A.
Logan, the commander-inchief of the Grand Army of the
Republic, named May 30th a
special day for honoring
Union Soldiers’ graves in
1868. His organization had
charge of holiday celebrations
until the American Legion
took over after World War I.
On Memorial Day people
decorate military personnel’s
graves with flowers and flags.
Organizations including Boy
and Girl Scouts and fraternal
groups march in military parades and have special programs,
often
reading
“Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.” Memorials are dedicated and military exercises
and special programs are held
at Gettysburg National Military Park and National Cemetery, Arlington, Virginia. To
honor those died at sea,
United States ports organize
ceremonies in which miniature
ships filled with flowers are
set afloat.
Since World War I, Memorial Day has been Poppy Day,
with volunteers distributing
small red artificial poppies,
using collected donations to
help disabled veterans. The
custom of decorating loved
ones’ graves has continued in
most families.
Let us, each in our own
way, honor our dead heroes,
but also welcome back those
in military service throughout
the world, doing whatever we
can to help them to adjust to
civilian life, again. They are
all heroes and deserve our
love and praise for their service.
The Reading Recorder,
Jacob Kokaly

A debt I never
can repay
to the editor:
Last week my mother
passed away at The Pines. She
had spent the last sixteen
months there and had had two
shorter visits there the year
before. I visited her every two
or three days and have been
completely amazed by the
quality of the care I have seen.
Every person in every department exceeded my highest expectations, but the people I’d
like to applaud are the aides.
They are the unsung heroes
(mostly heroines) of the place.
They are the finest people I’ve
ever met, offering the most
compassionate loving care
imaginable. There are many
so-called superstars in the
newspapers, but these aides
are the real thing. They, and
people like them, are what
make this world good for the
rest of us. They may only directly affect the local community, but fortunately there are
a few like them in most every
community. They may not be
as well-known as athletes and
movie stars, but together they
make this world tolerable for
the rest of us. In the real world
of normal America, these are
the real Superbowl champs.
The care they gave my mother
has left me eternally in their
debt and gratitude will reside
in my heart forever.

In My Opinion…
TOBACCO PREVENTION AND QUITTING TECHNIQUES
By Bella mCCarTney
Many of us have heard the
axiom, “an Ounce of Prevention is
worth a Pound of Cure.”
We can thank one of our country’s Founding Fathers, Benjamin
Franklin, for this proverb.
Franklin was a man who wore
many hats. Proudly, Franklin became a vital participant in the creation of our United States
Declaration of Independence on
July 4th, 1776. He was a leading
author, politician, theorist, activist, scientist, among other distinguished titles. Many of us
attribute Franklin to his most famous discovery and theory, electricity. Of course, electricity is an
essential amenity many of us
could not live without today.
Franklin wholeheartedly believed that it is easier to prevent
something bad from happening
than to try to fix it after it happens.
In his campaign to create a firefighting organization in Philadelphia back in 1736, he argued that
it was more cost effective to prevent a major fire from destroying
an entire city than it was to rebuild
a new one. This claim can apply
to any humanitarian effort and ap-
pears to be self-evidently true.
The term Prevention may sound
a bit intimidating to some of us.
There may even be some confusion or apprehension in scrambling to explain what Prevention
is and how it works. What exactly
is Prevention? Prevention is the
act of putting safeguards into
place to eliminate the possibility
of a catastrophic occurrence. Prevention involves activists and ac-
bacco cessation program, which
provides Vermonters with FREE
counseling & FREE nicotine replacement aids to help adults quit
tobacco use.
The Vermont Department of
Health launched the Counter Balance initiative in 2014. We are
diligently working to promote
awareness within the community
about the devastating effects of
harmful tobacco & alcohol adver-
The bottom line is that the more
often our youth are exposed to

Vermont’s youth are to start
smoking and/or drinking.
tivities that lead to affirmative
action with the goal of protecting
all members within our community. Prevention services are offered through Humanitarian
Agencies such as The Vermont
Department of Health, Northeastern Vermont Regional Hospital’s
Alcohol, Tobacco, & other Drug
Prevention
Coalition
and
802Quits, Vermont’s statewide to-
tising campaigns in our local convenience stores. Big tobacco &
alcohol companies have an
agenda. These companies strategically target two groups of Vermonters; our youth and
adolescents, with an assuredness
in enticing our youth to experiment with alcohol & tobacco
products thereby snaring them
into becoming long-term users
and keeping those Vermonters
who are already long-term users,
life-time users.
Many of our neighborhood
stores are conveniently situated
near schools and playgrounds
where many underage Vermont
kids frequent to purchase their
snacks and drinks. Vermont kids
visit these stores and are exposed
to influential tobacco & alcohol
marketing on a daily basis as they
reach the check-out counter. The
bottom line is that the more often
our youth are exposed to these
ads, the more likely Vermont’s
youth are to start smoking and/or
drinking. It’s time to end tobacco
& alcohol’s influence on Vermont’s kids.
Won’t you join us in the campaign to eradicate the use of tobacco & alcohol marketing in our
neighborhood convenient stores
and Prevent Vermont’s kids from
becoming the next generation of
tobacco and alcohol users by visiting us at counterbalencevt.com.
Together we can make a difference.

Hospital.

Developments
on
the
women—in—combat front are
cause for concern, even for leftists that have made cognitive dissonance a way of life, because
the women don’t seem to be
holding up their end of the ideological bargain.
If Ranger Sgt. Rosie Riveter is
going to be leaping out of aircraft
and getting paid to put an end to
ISIS misogynists — either by a
well—placed burst from her rifle
or silently dispatching him with
the Camel Clutch (first made famous by the Iron Sheik) — it
would be a big help if she’d quit
complaining about her shoes.
I was under the impression
that if a shoe didn’t hurt a female
wasn’t interested in wearing it,
but evidently that’s not the case.
Females deployed in Afghanistan
are complaining they lack access
to combat boots designed especially for them.
This is where the dissonance
really bites.
Feminists believe “gender” is
a social construct, and that men
and women are interchangeable.
Lefty women, secure in Washington think tanks, contend that
denying other women the opportunity to be killed on the front
line is patriarchal discrimination.
Meanwhile women actually in
the Army are hoping for something a little more strappy with a
semi—open toe.
Even in branches of
the service that have essentially struck their
colors, women aren’t
happy about equality.
The Washington Times
quotes a middie (maybe
widdie?) at the Naval Academy
unhappy that the unisex unis

Navy Sec. Ray Mabus — no
doubt wondering if women are
ever happy — replied there are

Rep. Niki Tsongas

that will require the Pentagon to
“devise a strategy to ensure that
women are outfitted with the best
combat footwear possible.”

earn him any points either.
The idea behind uniforms is

Although women’s slacks have

it comes to placement, for men

women—as—cannon—fodder
movement that women are just as
capable as men. If that fanciful
contention were true, then the
only difference in the shoes
should be size.
But it’s not true. The Washington Times quotes a British study
that found women suffer seven
times the rate musculoskeletal injuries found in men and ten times
the number of hip and pelvic
fractures. And those figures don’t
include statistics on pregnancy
that, Bruce Jenner aside, don’t
affect male combat trainees.
The Marines have had a great
deal of trouble finding a few
good women. So far the Infantry
Officer Course remains undefeated. Recruiters scoured the
Corps looking for 100 women
eager for the chance to die in the
mud and could only persuade 29
to give it a shot. Of those 29
every woman failed the course.
The Army, seven times larger
than the Marines, found 113
women to try the Ranger Training Assessment Course. Out of
the 113 women, 20 passed and

those 20 every woman failed the

LYNDONVILLE
KINGDOM GETTING A TASTE OF NASHVILLE STARTING TONIGHT
By leah Carey
Staff Writer
If your summer plans don’t include a trip to Nashville, don’t
worry … Nashville is coming to
you!
This Friday and Saturday the
Caledonia County Fairgrounds
will play host to the 2015 Taste
of Nashville Tour FanFest.
Saturday’s headliners will be
up-and-coming country duo LoCash, known individually as Preston Brust and Chris Lucas.
As songwriters they’ve already
had huge success, seeing two of
their songs recorded by country
music royalty: Keith Urban and
Tim McGraw. Urban took their
single “You Gonna Fly” to number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country chart, while McGraw made
the top 10 on the Billboard Country Airplay chart with “Truck
Yeah.”
Now they’re ready to taste that
same type of chart-topping success with a picture of their own
faces on the album cover.
They’re on their way with “I
Love This Life,” a song that’s
currently at #57 on the Billboard
Country Airplay chart.
So what brings a group with
such big ambitions to small-town
Vermont? According to Preston
Brust, it’s all about the audience.
“You can have a big show and
not promote it well, or you could
have a smaller show and sell it
out. And it can feel even bigger
than some of the arenas!” he said.
“Taste of Nashville is going to be
fun! They’ve been promoting the
crap out of it and I love that. …
Five hundred, five thousand,
fifty, or fifty thousand people, it’s
all the same to us.”
LoCash is working on developing a relationship with their
audience through writing what
Brust calls “real” songs.
“If you don’t have a really
good song, a good lyric, something people can really relate too,
you might be in deep water,” he
said. “When we’re going to put a
song out, we have to choose the
very best and strongest songs.”
That’s why they chose to write
a song focusing on the feel-good
things in life. “When we sat
down to write ‘I Love This Life,’
there’s so much negativity, we
said we’ve got to write a song
that’s three minutes of feel good,
no matter how cliche it may
sound. It’s all those things that
make up the simplicity of loving
your life,” said Brust.
That sense of good fun and
good livin’ inform much of the
duo’s song catalog. Perhaps it’s a
result of how the two met back in
Nashville at the Wildhorse Saloon. According to Brust, he and
Lucas traded off the jobs of inthe-booth DJ and on-the-stage
emcee for each show.
“One night we got bored with
it and saw there were two microphones. We said, ‘Why don’t we
both emcee?’” recalled Brust.
“The audience was in the palm of
our hands. Every joke was funny.
We started doing that every night.
Then he asked me, ‘Do you
sing?’ I said, ‘Yeah, do you
write?’”
The rest, as they say, is history.
And there’s still a lot of history
left to write for two men with big
dreams. “Getting a number 1
song with Keith Urban was
amazing because it was my
whole life coming into that mo-
about good songs and writing
good songs. And then moving on
to the second number 1, and the
album release, being in movies,
and all of that.”
He’s serious about staying
humble. “My mom would smack
me if I’m ever not humble,”
Brust said with a twinkle in his
voice that didn’t negate his tone
of complete sincerity.
At the fairgrounds
This is the first time the Taste
of Nashville event has come to
the NEK. But according to Larry
Ruggles, rental coordinator for
the fairgrounds, if this event is
successful it will be the first of
many.
“We’re hoping that we’ll get
about 2,000 people there,” Ruggles said. “[Taste of Nashville coordinator] Dan [Zentz] works
with us at the fair every year, he
runs the beer tent. That’s why he
thought this would be a great spot
to have this. He could have
picked anywhere to bring this
what happens is that the followers, no matter where they come
from, they’ll come here for this
event.”
Zentz is an NEK native who
now lives in Virginia and owns
Country Pride Entertainment.
“He basically asked me if we’d
be interested in partnering to this
type of event,” said Ruggles. “He
wanted to make sure that the
Northeast Kingdom could reap
the benefits of these type of
events, and also in the future he’s
planning more music events.”
While the Caledonia County
Fairgrounds sees its fair share of
weddings and agricultural events,
Ruggles would be pleased to see
an influx of new music events as
well. “We’re very excited to do
this and people put a lot of effort
into this,” he said. “It should
truly be a success.”

TV’S ‘FATAL VOWS’ TO FOCUS
ON BILLIS MANSLAUGHTER
Producer: Shows Seeks Stories On ‘Couples
Where One One Of The Two Ends Up Dead’
By JenniFer herSey
Cleveland
Staff Writer
DERBY — A crew from a
Canadian production company is
in town ﬁlming a segment of
“Fatal Vows” about the death of
Charles Billis at the hands of his
wife, Christine, in 2009.
“Fatal Vows,” which airs on Investigation Discovery, focuses on
“couples where one one of the two
ends up dead,” according to series
producer Sylvia Wilson.
The show explores what happens in couples that go from being
happy and in love to wishing the
other ill will, Wilson said.
Christine and Charles Billis
lived in Brownington. On a fall
day in 2009, as they returned from
NEK-TV, where Charles ﬁlmed a
show called “It’s News To Us”
with Steve Merrill, Christine drove
their car directly into a large tree
off Route 5A in Charleston, killing
her husband, who was not wearing
his seat belt.
Christine Billis, who was wearing her seat belt, was injured, but
recovered. Police initially believed
a medical episode, possibly a
seizure, had caused Christine Billis
to veer off the road.
Christine Billis was not arrested
for the crime until the summer of
2011, after her friend Kevin Leland provided police with recordings of Christine admitting that she
planned her husband’s death for
months until she came up with a
plan in which she would not get
caught.
Charles Billis was 57 years old
at the time of his death.
Christine Billis was initially
charged with ﬁrst-degree murder,
but later pleaded guilty to a felony
count of manslaughter in exchange
for a sentence of 7 to 15 years.

A crew from CMJ Productions in Montreal ﬁlms a segment of
“Fatal Vows” about the death of Charles Billis at the hands of
his wife, Christine, in 2009. From left are brothers Pablo and
Nicolas Villegas and Meghan Low.
This case is interesting to Wilson because the death was at ﬁrst
considered the result of an accident. “A car accident doesn’t seem
like an obvious choice for someone to end someone’s life,” Wilson
said.
The story of Charles Billis’
death will resonate with viewers
the way most segments of “Fatal
Vows” do, Wilson said. “This
could happen to almost anyone
who’s been lucky enough to know
the excitement of being in a couple
and then that relationship goes off
the rails. It’s familiar, but not what
we all live every day.”
Director Meghan Low interviewed local people at the Derby
Four Seasons with brothers Nicolas and Pablo Villegas as her sound
and camera crew this week.
Leland ﬁrst spoke about Christine Billis’ confession with Essex
County State’s Attorney Vince Illuzzi, who was still serving as a
state senator at the time. Illuzzi
was interviewed for the episode, as
was Leland, local law enforcement
ofﬁcers, people who knew the
family, and Pamela Lacher, the
California attorney who wants to
reopen Christine Billis’ case to explore a defense having to do with
the prescription drugs she was taking at the time.
Wilson said she’s not sure how
much the episode will focus on
that new defense. She said that will
depend on if and when an appeal
is ﬁled by Lacher on Billis’ behalf.
Most of the show will focus on the
facts that emerged from the case,
with a particular focus on how the
relationship between Charles and
Christine Billis soured over time.
Wilson said the show will touch
on the impact of this on Christine
Billis’ daughters, but the aftermath
isn’t the focus of the episode.
Investigation Discovery has already ﬁlmed a show about the
manslaughter, for a series called
“Diabolical,” which aired in December 2013. “Snapped,” which
airs on the Oxygen network,
ﬁlmed a segment about the case as
well. That episode is expected to
air in the fall, when Wilson believes the “Fatal Vows” episode
will also air.

Continued from Page A1
$18.50—the most I’d charged for
any show. It didn’t matter. People
from every corner of the Kingdom
wanted to see B.B. King live in
concert in Lyndonville.
Our B.B. King concert sold out
two months in advance, creating a
scramble by people who waited
too long to get tickets. LI Headmaster Cy Benson had been a solid
ally of the series and he agreed to
let us place 43 additional chairs in
the hall.
Several weeks before the
planned concert, I took a January
southern vacation that was interrupted by a St. Johnsbury friend
who tracked me down to say he
had put his hands on a vintage Lincoln and wanted me to name him
B.B. King’s ofﬁcial chauffeur for
the day of the concert. I don’t how
my friend found me—this was before the days of email and cell
phones. But I agreed to propose
the Lincoln and private driver to
Mr. King. Unfortunately for my
friend, the blues great preferred to
travel with his band in their white
14-passenger mini-bus.
On the night of the show, people
arrived early and when B.B.
King’s band members appeared on
stage to warm up the crowd, the
crowd went wild. Then, when B.B.
King walked on stage the audience
simply let loose. I’ve never seen
anything like it, before or since.
Obviously pleased by the warm
welcome in this intimate hall, B.B.
King strapped on his legendary
black Gibson guitar, “Lucille,” and
lit into a heartfelt and richly detailed rendition of “Every Day I
Have the Blues.” B.B. wanted
everyone to know—they were in
store for an electrifying evening of
“happy blues” performed by the
King of the genre—the man who
had inspired the likes of Eric Clapton, Keith Richards, Jimi Hendrix,
and The Beatles.
The Lyndon crowd hung on
every wailing note from B.B.
King’s emotionally plaintive guitar, named after the night King
played an Arkansas dance hall during the early 1950s. Two men got
into a ﬁght during the show and
they knocked over a kerosene
stove that started a ﬁre. Mr. King
ran out of the building but remembered his $30 guitar that he had left
inside. He ran back in to get it.
Two men died in the ﬁre and King
learned later that the ﬁght had been
over a woman named Lucille. For
the rest of his career, King called
his guitar “Lucille” – the one enduring love of his life.
The Lyndon crowd also loved

King’s never ending tour to more
than 250 dates per year.
B.B. King’s Lyndon Institute
show included selections from his
then-current LP, “Love Me Tender” along with signature pieces
including “The Thrill is Gone,”
written after his breakup with his
wife of eight years, Sue Hall. He
performed several encores in a
show that went two hours. Still, the
crowd was reluctant to see him go.
B.B. was tickled by the idea of
our unique place and repeated to
me several times, “B.B. King plays
the Kingdom.” He liked the sound
of it. After the show, the band
wanted to get back to their rooms
at the Lyn-Burke Motel but B.B.
waved them off when he saw a line
of people forming, who wanted to
say hello. “It looks like we’ve got
some visitors,” he said.
I looked around for a place
where King could sit and all I
could ﬁnd was a straight-backed
chair in the extremely tiny ofﬁce of
LI’s athletic director. B.B. settled
in and, for another hour, he greeted
the long line of people who wanted
to stop by and say hello. The only
artist I’ve ever seen who was this
generous to audiences was Emmylou Harris, who we brought to perform at the Fenton Chester Arena,
the following summer. But B.B.
King went further, connecting directly and warmly with whatever
people had to say. A local 12-yearold African-American boy, Isaac
Lindsay, waited in line with his
mom, Airie. Airie and Isaac
wanted to make contact with this
renowned black musician who had
started his life picking cotton in
dirt-poor rural Mississippi. Indeed,
B.B. King knew the grueling
world of relentless $5-a-day ﬁeld-
work and, as a boy, he saw a black
man lynched by a white mob. Despite this, he was a man who expressed
enormous
joy,
compassion, and love, both won
and lost, in his music.
A good friend of mine, who had
recently split up with his wife, was
near tears when he stepped into the
LI coach’s ofﬁce that February
night to shake hands with the King
of the Blues. “B.B.” he cried. “My
wife left me and it’s been six
months and I’m just ﬁnding it hard
to start over. What can I do?”
B.B. reached out and took my
friends hands in both of his. And
he looked up at him with unusual
empathy. “My friend,” he said,
“you’ve got the blues. And I know
of every word you speak. Tell me
about her.” And with that, my
friend told the story of his
courtship and marriage and his
years together with his wife. B.B
listened to every word as wellwishers waited in line. At the end
of my friend’s sad tale, B.B. leaned
in close to him.
“I hear what you’ve been
through,” he said. “but there’s only
one thing you can do. You’ve got
to empty your heart of the love you
feel for your wife. It seems impossible, I know, but you have no
choice. And you’ve go to do it
fully – you’ve got to empty every
drop – before you can open your
heart to the love of another. I know
it isn’t easy but take my word for
it.”
My friend nodded and shed a
few more tears. B.B. stayed with
him for these additional moments.
Then my friend walked out of the
building and into the night having
been deeply touched, musically,
spiritually, and emotionally by
B.B.King, the evangelist of the
blues and one of the true great
artists who has ever walked onto a
stage—anywhere.
This was a night to remember.
what was Bob McNally’s Town
and Country Restaurant. They
ﬂirted with the waitresses and ordered every deep South dish they
could think of and expressed surprise it was not on the menu.
The concert was outstanding
and King had a compelling, infectious style that immediately connected him to his audience. His
signature song, “The Thrill is
Gone” was the highlight of the
show.
Before heading north for a show
in Montreal, King gave Ben Elliott, the Elliotts’ 9-year-old son,
one of his guitar picks.

Sediment includes clay, gravel,
sand, and silt. It blocks about 60
feet of the dam’s 100 foot spillway.
A group of town ofﬁcials, state
ofﬁcials, Desrochers, and other experts visited the dam earlier this
month. The meeting minutes describe planned work.
“The permit is to remove sediment behind the West Barnet
Garage along the South Peacham
Brook back towards the lake so as
to expose the full line of the spillway of the dam,” minutes state.
“The process buys some time to
ﬁgure out the other backﬂow issues and time to think about what
to do in the future. It will essentially lessen the impact of future
rain or storm events.”
The amount of sediment being
removed is “signiﬁcant,” minutes
state.
“The machines required to truck
the removed material out will need
to be large capacity vehicles,” it
states. “Behind the West Barnet
Garage the group discussed removing enough material to create
a stream width of about 80 feet.”

help move their initiative forward,” Whitson said. “They will
consider action items that will advance their goals that are actionable and doable.”
Task forces will each develop a
resources list and confer with visiting experts provided by VCRD.
A chairperson will lead each
task force. Mike Welch, a former
St. Johnsbury town manager, is
chairman of the entire process.
“We welcome participation
from people who are interested in
any of the projects identiﬁed as
priorities,” Welch said. “It is important that people in the community who are passionate about
these issues get involved to iden-

move these projects forward.”
VCRD will be available for
guidance throughout.
Resident Sue Cherry, chairwoman of the St. Johnsbury Planning Commission, volunteered for
the warming shelter task force
along with nine others. She already
wants to expand its focus.
“We’re going to try to morph
that warming shelter into a full

She encourages more volunteers

sleeves,” Cherry said.

Obama’s contentious trade bill clears key
hurdle, advances toward a ﬁnal Senate vote
WASHINGTON (AP) — In a triumph for President Barack Obama,
sweeping legislation to strengthen the administration’s hand in global trade
talks advanced toward Senate passage Thursday after a showdown vote that
remained in doubt until the ﬁnal moment.
The 62-38 vote, two more than the 60 needed, came from a solid phalanx
of Republicans and more than a dozen Democrats. But the decisive thumbsup came — literally, and long past the allotted time — from Democratic Sen.
Maria Cantwell of Washington after she and a few others seized the moment
as leverage to demand a vote next month on legislation to renew the ExportImport Bank.
“It was a nice victory. We’re going to continue and ﬁnish up the bill this
week,” Majority leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Obama’s most important Senate ally on the trade bill, said after sealing the agreement that
Cantwell, Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina and others
had sought.
The Senate action to move toward a ﬁnal vote was “a big step forward,”
Obama said at the White House, predicting that a trade deal would “open up
access to markets that too often are closed.” The president was up late
Wednesday night placing telephone calls to lawmakers, and he spoke with
Cantwell again shortly before the vote.
Final Senate passage would clear the way for a ﬁerce struggle in the House.
After seizing Palmyra, Islamic State extremists
overrun ancient site, Syrian activists say
DAMASCUS, Syria (AP) — Fears mounted over the fate of one of the
Mideast’s most prominent archaeological sites after Islamic State militants
overran the historic Syrian town of Palmyra, seizing control Thursday of its
temples, tombs and colonnades within hours.
The takeover also expanded the extremists’ hold, making them the single
group controlling the most territory in Syria.
“The Syrian regime appears to be in terminal decline, and the Islamic State
group in its timing is capitalizing on recent losses by government forces in
the north and south,” said Amr Al-Azm, an antiquities expert and professor
at Shawnee State University in Ohio.
The militants overran the famed archaeological site early Thursday, just
hours after seizing the nearby town in central Syria, activists and ofﬁcials
said.
They also captured Palmyra’s airport and the notorious Tadmur prison,

Key surveillance powers set to expire if Congress
fails to agree on extension of Patriot Act
WASHINGTON (AP) — The White House and House leaders urged the
Senate on Thursday to take up a bill that would end the National Security
Agency’s collection of American phone records while preserving other surveillance powers set to expire June 1.
Senators are divided with that deadline nearing for the continued use of
counterterrorism provisions that law enforcement ofﬁcials say are critical.
House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, and Democratic leader Nancy
Pelosi of California appealed for Senate consideration of the USA Freedom
Act, which their chamber passed 338-88 last week. The bill would end the
WASHINGTON (AP) — Former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton received monthly missives about the growing unrest in Libya from a
longtime friend who was previously barred by the White House from working for her as a government employee, according to emails received on her
personal account.
The messages show the role played
by Sidney Blumenthal, who was working for the Clinton family foundation
and advising a group of entrepreneurs
trying to win business from the Libyan
transitional government. Blumenthal repeatedly wrote dispatches about the
events in Libya to Clinton, who often
forwarded them to her aides at the State
Department.

decades working for the Clinton family,

rise to the modern environmental movement and led to passage of some of
the nation’s most important environmental laws.
Nevertheless, the new spill from a ruptured underground pipe is being held

WASHINGTON (AP) — Police and federal agents searched Thursday
for a welder suspected in the slayings of a wealthy construction executive,
his wife, their 10-year-old son and a housekeeper inside their Washington
mansion last week.
D.C. Police Chief Cathy Lanier said “just about every law enforcement
ofﬁcer across the country” is on the lookout for Daron Dylon Wint, 34, a native of Guyana and former Marine now wanted on charges of ﬁrst-degree
murder in the killings of his former employer, Savvas Savopoulos.
Investigators were questioning Wint’s girlfriend in Brooklyn, but his
whereabouts remained unclear, according to two law enforcement ofﬁcials
who were not authorized to speak publicly and spoke to The Associated Press
on condition of anonymity.
Another housekeeper told the AP
she believes that the family and their
housekeeper were held captive for
nearly a day before they were killed,
citing an unusual voice mail she got
from Savopoulos and a text message
sent from the phone of his wife,

Vermont Man Becomes Keeper Of Cousin’s Purple Heart
WORCESTER, Vt. — Paul
Pike never knew his namesake
but now is keeper of the man’s
legacy for whom he accepted the
Purple Heart on Thursday.
Pike accepted the medal at a
ceremony in Worcester to honor
his cousin who died in the Battle
of the Bulge during World War
II.
School children looked on as
Pike was given the framed Purple
Heart and other medals his
cousin earned during the war.
The soldier Pike was killed
weeks after he wrote home to his
parents telling them he was going
to the front line. The Purple
Heart was given to his family
decades ago but ended up in the
possession of the Worcester Historical Society in the town where
he grew up and is now buried.
“He was my father’s cousin,”
said the 68-year-old Pike, who
lives in Roxbury. “He must have
been quite a fellow because my
father didn’t suffer fools gladly.
He named me after him.”
A member of the 75th Division, the soldier Pike was killed
Jan. 20, 1945. He was first buried
in a national cemetery in Europe.
But his parents brought his remains home to Worcester in
1947, the younger Pike said. The

Historical Society member Audrey Richardson said she first
heard from the younger Pike
about a year ago when he called
the town clerk after Memorial
Day asking that his cousin’s
grave be decorated with an
American flag. At first she didn’t
believe there was a second Paul
Pike.
“I remembered his dad when
they used to come to visit the
Pikes,” Richardson said.
Richardson said the Historical

Report suggests decrease in
occupational injuries, illnesses
CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — New Hampshire health officials have
released a report suggesting there’s a decrease in occupational injury
and illness rates in the state over the years.
The report finds that from 2000 to 2012, there were 160 work-related fatalities in New Hampshire. There were over 171,000 workrelated emergency department hospital discharges for people age 16
and older for the same time period.
But for three years, 2007 through 2010, New Hampshire’s rate of
a cancer of the lining of the lung associated with asbestos exposure
was significantly higher than the national rate. The report said years
of ship building and asbestos exposure in New Hampshire may have
contributed to the higher incidence rates.
The report says more than 53,000 workers were employed in high
mortality risk occupations as of 2012.

Purple Hearts Reunited when she
went online looking for some
way to honor Pike, one of two
Worcester men killed during the
war.
Purple Hearts Reunited was
started by Vermont National
Guard Capt. Zacharia Fike, who
has made it his mission to return
Purple Heart medals to the people who earned them or their descendants.
Since he began his mission
three years ago, the organization
has returned more than 150
medals to the relatives of the
people who earned them. The organization now has about 400
medals they are trying to return.
“It symbolizes a young man or
