The annual event will be held at the school, located on Route 153, on Saturday, March 12. Doors will open at 6 p.m. and the event is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.
Tickets for the show are available in advance by calling 645-9009. They cost $7 for adults and $5 for students and seniors. Tickets are also available at the door but have been known to sell out in the past.
“It’s primarily singing and we’ve got some dancing and other routines. There are sever-al returning acts and some new acts,” explained Rod Hawkins,
the show’s organizer. “We have some really good talent this year.”
Although the event showcas-es the talent of local entertain-ers, it’s not your typical talent show where a panel of judges determines a winner. “I deter-mined a long time ago that it wasn’t a competition. What I want to do is give the commu-nity an opportunity to see the talent that’s in the region.”
The show comes together over a span of approximately two months.
Hawkins held auditions for prospective performers the first week of February. He said the auditions are very much like American Idol; the entertainers are given several minutes to perform their routine and then
Mania
Hawkins critiques each perfor-mance and lets them know whether or not they made it.
“I’m not as mean as Simon Cowell but I have turned away acts who weren’t polished enough,” Hawkins said. “Fortunately, no one was turned away this year, which is kind of nice. We have some really good performers this year.”
After the auditions, Hawkins doesn’t see most of the perform-ers until one of two rehearsals in the days leading up to the show. He says he leaves it up to them to make sure they practice and are prepared for the show. “It really is up to them and how bad they want it. They audition, practice, rehearse and then they’re off,” Hawkins explained.
During the rehearsals, Hawkins spends a good deal of time choreographing the per-formances. “I tell them where to go and what to do. I try to make it so they are actually entertain-ing and not just performing.”
Despite carefully choosing his performers, Hawkins said the show is open to all comers, regardless of age or where they are from.
“We’ve had everything from third graders to people in their 50’s,” Hawkins said. “The radi-us is fairly large that we draw from, which is good. I have per-formers from Whitehall, Hudson Falls, Rutland, Lake Bomoseen and Shaftsbury.”
The performers aren’t the only attraction.
In what has become a Mettawee Mania Tradition, the current Miss Vermont, Caroline Bright, will serve as the event’s emcee.
Bright is a 20 year old senior at St. Michael’s College in
Colchester and a graduate of Missisquoi Valley Union High School in Swanton.
According to Hawkins, this won’t be Bright’s first time on the Mettawee Mania stage. She served as the event’s emcee sev-eral years ago when Miss Vermont couldn’t attend.
“She did a whale of a job then and I’m looking forward to working with her again. She keeps things rolling by doing her thing,” Hawkins said.
The show also benefits from an experienced staff that ensures everything runs smoothly on and behind the stage. “We have a really good crew that takes care of every-thing back stage, from the lights to the sound. They have all been here since day one and they know the drill,” Hawkins said.
Hawkins said he has 21 per-formers lined up for this years show and all the acts are back to back “so its rolling all the time and people don’t have a chance to get bored.”
Besides the outstanding sing-ing and dancing the audience has come to expect at Mettawee Mania, Hawkins says he has some new acts.
“Some of our new acts include a band from the Long Trail School, a group of belly dancers from Shaftsbury and a trio who does yo-yo tricks which is something we’ve never had before.
Hawkins said each perform-er is given a maximum of five minutes on stage and the show typically lasts two hours.
Proceeds from the event ben-efit the Mettawee Community School Parent Teacher Organization. He said most of the proceeds are used to help
offset the price of yearbooks which are given to sixth graders for free and sold to younger stu-dents at a reduced prize.
Despite benefiting the show, Hawkins was quick to point out that the event is not a school function. Instead it’s a commu-nity event held at the school.
“It’s a good opportunity to see something different. People really seem to enjoy it. It’s a lot of fun,” Hawkins said.
Mapleseason with a variety of events and activities.
“Maple Fest is geared to bring people into the area for fun and entertainment and cel-ebrate the maple season,” Maple Fest chairwoman Pam Mikkelsen explained. Admission to Maple Fest is absolutely free, and with the exception of a few shopping and dining opportunities, patrons can enjoy an entire weekend of fun without spend-ing any money.
“It’s completely free. If you don’t want to spend money, you don’t have to,” Mikkelsen said.
The event, which has been known to attract several hun-dred people to town and is one of its largest events, showcases Poultney’s maple sugaring industry.
Throughout the weekend, several of the community’s sugarhouses will open their doors and welcome in guests to observe their sugaring opera-tions. At some, such as Green’s
The Fair Haven Grade School PTA wants to give local women a chance to get out of the house and enjoy a day out.
The organization will host its First Annual Scrapbook Day and Women’s Business Expo from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Saturday, March 19, in the gymnasium at the Fair Haven Grade School.
The event is set to feature sev-eral home-based party business-es and is a chance to spend time with like-minded women.
“It’s a nice end of winter, get out of the house, spend time with your girlfriends type of
event,” event organizer Lea Pettis said.
Pettis said organizers got together last fall and discussed hosting an end of the winter event that provides local women with a chance to get out of the house.
“Someone said why don’t we have an event with that features a number of home-based party businesses like Pampered Chef ?” Pettis said. “So that is kind of what we based it on.”
She said they have several dif-ferent businesses signed up and it will give local residents a chance to see what kind of prod-uct those businesses offer.
“They can sell items but it’s more of an opportunity for them to get their name out there, sign up hostesses, and market their business,” she said.
The business expo is expected to last from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. During the rest of the day, attend-ees will have a chance to do some scrapbooking.
A representative from Creative Memories will be pres-ent throughout the day offering participants tips and guidance with their scrapbooking. She will also have a number of prod-ucts and supplies available for purchase.
The cost to attend the event is $50 for 12 hours of scrapbook time, breakfast, lunch and din-ner, 10 raffle tickets, a goodie bag and admission to the Business Expo. A half day of scrapbook-ing will cost $25. Admission to the Business Expo only is $2. A number of items will be raffled throughout the day.
According to Pettis, proceeds from the event will benefit the Fair Haven Grade School and will be used to offset the cost of playground equipment and other programs and curriculum teach-ers would like to implement but can’t afford to.
Pettis said any vendors who would like to attend, or anyone who would like to participate in the scrapbooking segment of the event, can call her at 265-8348, or e-mail [email protected] to register.
“I’m hoping for a fun day,” she said.

Sugar House on Finel Hollow Road, maple producers will even demonstrate some of the techniques they employ during the sugaring process.
Closer to the center of town, organizers will host a number of family-friendly, community-minded events. “It’s basically the same format as previous years. There will be a number of activities on Main Street from St. Raphael’s to Green Mountain College,” Mikkelsen said.
Organizers have created two separate maps to help people find their bearings during the weekend. One indicates the location of participating sugar-houses and the other the loca-tion of specific activities throughout the village. Both maps will be available at the Stonebridge
The festival begins on Saturday morning with two of Maple Fest’s most popular events: the Maple Pancake Breakfast and the Maple Fest 5K Run.
The breakfast, which will be held from 8 a.m. to 10 p.m. at the Methodist Church, features authentic maple syrup from local producers. It’s followed by the Maple Fest Run at 10 a.m., a 5K run.
Other traditional activities include the fourth Annual Maple Bake-Off Contest, Horse Drawn Wagon Rides, and a Silent Auction at St. Raphael’s
ple to stop by at least once and check some of the items donat-ed by local businesses and make a bid,” Mikkelsen said. “We have gotten a lot of sup-port from the business commu-nity.”
Organizers have also added several newer activities over the last few years that have proved popular.
“The Interactive Family Games at Green Mountain College were something that were started last year and proved to be a big hit,” Mikkelsen said. “It’s aimed at kids and is basically a watered-down education of how maple sugaring works.”
Sponsored by The Environment Ed Class at Green Mountain College, children will learn about maple trees, how to identify them, what sap is, and how you collect it. They will also learn more about tra-ditional sugaring techniques through a series of interactive games, such as the Speedy Sap Simulation Race, a sort of maple-inspired relay race.
Mikkelsen also pointed out face painting at the college and the Maple Story Time as other events children may enjoy.
“It’s (Maple Fest) really an event geared to bring children to,” Mikkelsen.
This year’s event also fea-tures an added emphasis on local art. Art from a variety of different mediums, including oil and water paintings, ceram-ics, and photography will be on display at the Stonebridge and the Poultney Theater Group will read poetry from a number of American and British poets.
Mikkelsen offered a few sug-gestions on how people could best take advantage of Maple Fest Weekend.
“In my opinion, run first and then have breakfast. If you have children, go to the college and then walk up Main Street toward the church (St. Raphael’s). It’s a good place to be between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. for lunch and dessert from the Maple Bake Off.”
She suggest parents use the afternoon to take their children to the library for story time, participate in a nature walk, or visit one of the local sugar-houses.
And, most importantly, enjoy yourself.
“The focus is to have fun,” she said. “That’s the whole point.”

Middletown Springs with his wife since 1996, has been a profes-sional photographer for more than 50 years and has had the privilege of photographing some of the country’s most famous individuals including Elvis Presley, Ray Charles and Ronald and Nancy Reagan, among oth-ers. His work has appeared in numerous publications includ-ing Reader’s Digest, The Bergen Record and The New York Times.
His book, “Compositions in Black and White” chronicles his journey from an enthusiastic youth taking pictures of his hometown to his time as a senior photographic officer in the Navy Reserve.
The book features black and white photographs of iconic poli-ticians, athletes, and celebrities; decommissioned naval ships, scenes of Teaneck taken with his early Brownie, and stunning vis-tas of the local region.
“It represents my black and white photography over the course of my career, or at least 80 pictures worth of it,” Francois said.
Although a number of people had attempted to goad Francois into publishing a book of his photographs, he said he ultimate-ly decided to publish a book so his grandchildren could under-stand what he had done and what influenced him during his life.
Although he always possessed a passion for photography, at least partly cultivated by a father who graduated from the New York Institute of Photography, it wasn’t his vocation of choice as he neared his high school gradu-ation.
At the time Francois was
more interested in working on jet engines, a recent advancement in the field of avionics, so he decid-ed to join the Navy.
“Much to my chagrin, I ended up at helicopter school,” Francois said. “It helped me grow up and was a very broadening experi-ence and a good education.”
But it ultimately wasn’t what Francois was looking for, at least at that time.
After leaving the Navy, Francois married his longtime squeeze Kerstin-who he remains married to today-and began look-ing for a job.
After a few short-lived posi-tions, he ended up at the Sunday Sun and Sun Bulletin, two news-papers in Bergen County, New Jersey. The early experiences helped him cut his teeth in the photography business and he was able to parlay the experience into a position at Reader’s Digest.
“The art director asked me to make a print from a negative and was impressed with my work. I spent the next six years working in the International Arts Department at Reader’s Digest. It was a great education but I even-tually I realized I need to grow, I had to spread my wings a little,” Francois said.
He wound up contacting the Bergen Record, New Jersey’s sec-ond largest newspaper at the time, and they were wowed by his work.
Although he only spent four and a half years at the paper, it left an indelible mark on his career.
“I did a little of everything. I photographed car accidents, crime scenes, riots and sporting events,” Francois said.
After an ill-timed move to Florida that coincided with the energy crisis in the early 1970’s, Francois reenlisted in the Navy as a photographer and journalist
in 1975. While working as a photogra-
pher in the Navy, Francois had an opportunity to work with a number of government organiza-tions including the FBI and the Border Patrol. He also worked on a book, “The Liberty Centennial, 1886-1986: The Fourth of July Weekend,” which featured a number of photographs Francois took of the Statue of Liberty in honor of its 100th anniversary.
Several years later, Francois was introduced to a new form of technology that fundamentally altered the way he viewed pho-tography.
“I went to see this new com-puter system and scanner with a new program called Photoshop,” Francois said. “It changed every-thing I knew about photography.”
Francois was on “the cutting edge, the bleeding edge” of digi-tal photography.
His work with digital photog-raphy was received with much acclaim, and Francois was awarded the Navy Achievement Medal for his photography and work with digital imaging.
He retired from the Navy in 1999 as a Lt. Commander with more than 30 years of service.
Despite all the digital images and vivid photographs Francois took, he chose to use black and white images for his book. “I appreciate the values of black and white photography. It evokes different emotions than color,” he explained. “In photography you have to be incisive and sensi-tive to what you see.”
The book illustrates Francois work and the things he has expe-rienced during his career and life. “It’s an overview of the things I’ve done in my life,” he said. “It’s been one heck of a ride.”

The Middletown Springs Historical Society will examine the history and evolution of the maple sugaring process during this weekend’s annual Middletown Springs Maple Festival.
The 23rd annual festival will be held from 1 to 4 p.m. Sunday, March 13 on the Green, and inside the historical society, in Middletown Springs.
The event will feature inter-active displays showcasing tra-ditional sugaring techniques, discussions by local maple pro-ducers, a silent auction and more.
Admission to the festival is free of charge.
“Because the event is spon-
sored by the historical society, the focus is on the history of maple sugaring,” historical society member David Wright said.
One of the highlights of the afternoon will be a panel dis-cussion by long time maple producers Truman Young of Tinmouth, and Wilson Clark of Pawlet.
“Truman Young is very engaging and has lots of expe-rience with maple sugaring that dates back into the 1930’s and (Wilson) Bill Clark is a past president of the Vermont Maple Sugarmakers Association,” Wright said. “They are going to converse about the evolution of maple
syrup making techniques using artifacts from the Historical Society collection. We are hop-ing for a good exchange between them.”
Outdoors, Fred Bradley will demonstrate the process of boiling sap into syrup in an iron kettle over an open flame.
There will also be a number of videos about the Vermont maple industry screened indoors throughout the after-noon.
Other activities include a silent auction, children’s activi-ties, music, raffles, and food.
Proceeds from the event ben-efit the historical society.
“It should be lots of fun,” Wright said.

When you think about programs that help young girls blossom into confident, compassionate and talented young women, there really is only one that rises to the top of the list, and that is the Girl Scouts. Much more than just cookies, Girl Scouting, is about developing the entire girl. “Girl Scouts of the USA is the world’s pre-eminent organization dedicated solely to girls - all girls - where, in an accepting and nurturing environment, girls build character and skills for success in the real world,” the mission statement says. “In partnership with committed adult volunteers, girls cultivate their full individual potential. The qualities they develop in Girl Scouting -- leadership, values, social conscience and conviction about their own self-worth - serve them all their lives.” Mary Ellen Hettinger, public relations manager for Girl Scouts of the Green and White Mountains in Vermont, added that Girl Scouts offers its more than 17,000 local members the chance to develop the characteristics of confidence and courage, as well as arm them with the knowledge that they can make the world a better place. “Our mission is to build girls of courage, confidence and character who make the world a better place,” she said. “We do that a lot of difference ways.” Looking back Hettinger said girl scouts was helping girls and young women learn to support themselves and “pull their own weight in the world” before women could even vote. Girl Scouts was formed in Savannah, Georgia on March 12, 1912 by Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low. Gordon Low believed all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally and spiritually, and so with the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air, Girl Scouts was formed. “She was very forward thinking…girl scouts had an aviation badge back in 1916,” Hettinger said. In an era when not many women had an education, girl scouts was providing basic life skills such as financial literacy, much like today. The first Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars and studied first aid, within a few years the movement spread over the state and then over the nation. Today, Girl Scouts of the USA has a membership of nearly 4 million girls and adults. In the Lakes, there are two service units, the Slate Valley Service Unit, which covers Castleton, Fair Haven, Benson and Orwell; and the Lakes Region Service Unit, which covers the communities of Middletown Springs, Pawlet, Poultney and Wells.

There are approximately 150 girls involved in Girl Scouting in the Lakes Region in 15 troops, Hettinger said. As anyone with a sweet tooth knows, it’s Girl Scout cookie season. And while the sale of cookies is one of the group’s major fundraisers, they also play an important role in the mission of the organization. Cookie sales manage to combine many of the attributes girl scouts want to bring out in their troops. Hettinger said the cookie sales are the equivalent of a financial literacy program where the girls learn everything from how to manage money and make change as well as setting goals and becoming
more confident. Girls can earn ‘cookie dough’ which may be used to pay for going to camp, which requires
planning if that scout wants to use cookie sales to pay for their trip. Selling cookies means interacting with
customers. “For some it is (intimidating) but they do put themselves out there,
building their confidence,” Hettinger said. But, cookies are more than just raising money for the troop. Each girl sets a personal goal. The girls enjoy a great deal of activities. The Poultney area girls have held lock-ins at Castleton State College where they slept overnight. The event is held most
years, giving the girls a chance to sing songs, play games, enjoy snacks
and do activities that relate to the year’s theme.
In the Fair Haven area, to name just a couple of the many available examples, two scouts just returned from
England and another worked as a part of ‘Girl Scouts Forever Green’ in Cape Cod at the National Seashore. In
Castleton, girls scouts attended a Martin Luther King Jr. program as well as creating ‘Hero Packs’ for children whose parents are deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan. “And the really big part is having a ball while doing all of it, making it fun,” Hettinger said. Membership is open to all girls 5-17 who subscribe to the Girl Scout Promise and Law. We are part of a worldwide family of 10 million girls and adults in 145 countries. Adult members volunteer as troop leaders, community administrators, organizers, public relations coordinators, trainers, board members, and specialists in child development, adult and outdoor education, and administration. For more information on how to become a part of Girl Scouting in the Lakes Region as a scout or a volunteer, Hettinger invited people to call them at 1-800-769-7452 or find them on the web at www.girlscoutsgwm.org.

Recently 400 seventh graders from Rutland County attended a career-oriented event, “Your Journey Starts Here!” at Castleton State College.
This middle school career event was a collaborative effort between the Rutland Region Workforce Investment Board, Vermont Student Assistance Corporation, Castleton State College and nine middle schools, including Poultney High School, Benson Village School, Castleton Village School, Fair Haven Grade School, Mill River Union Middle School, Orwell Village School, Proctor, West Rutland, and Otter Valley.
The goal of the event was to increase aspiration for continu-ing their education, as well as to include more math and science in their high school curriculum.
“Your Journey Starts Here!” was developed as a means to enlighten and engage seventh graders in thinking about what skills they will need to be suc-cessful in college and the work-force. The clear message was that students had to begin lay-ing the groundwork now, learn what they were good at, and read about options for the
future. Students spent a full day
immersed in a number of group and experiential activities rele-vant to college and career plan-ning.
Darren Perron, Co-Anchor for WCAX Channel 3 News and Castleton State College Alumnus, was the featured key-note speaker. He spoke about his journey in getting to where he is today and showed two video clips, one focusing on his trip to Afghanistan and one of bloopers at WCAX.
Part of the program also included tours of the campus by CSC students who shared their personal journey about college, panel discussions by two former Stafford Technical Center stu-dents and current CSC students, Vicki Stone and Michael Ray, discussion given by Marc Klatt, CSC assistant football coach, and Mill River Middle School Principal, Katherine Fogg. Stone said, “Avoid drama and be true to you. You can’t live your life for others.”
