Benson seeks residents for town positions

Donna Perry approaches

every morning at Perrys Main

Street Eatery as if it were the

first morning she opened the

restaurant.

I treat every day like the first

day, because I never take my

customers for granted, said

Perry, who with her husband

Walt has turned that attitude

into 15 years as a major part of

downtown Poultney. Obviously,

if it werent for the customers,

we wouldnt be in business, so

you treat every day like its the

first, and you do the best you

can for them.

The Perrys opened on Dec. 3,

1996, in what had been a hair

salon, but it took some time to

get the restaurant up to speed.

When we first opened, there

were a lot of bugs to work out,

Mrs. Perry said.

Sometimes it was discour-

aging, but because of a lot of

hard work and determination,

we got through. Because of our

loyal customers, we have been a

success.

In Perrys mind, that success

comes because the restaurant

feels like a home away from

home, and because her cus-

tomers know exactly what to

expect.

I think what really carries

us through is our consistency,"

she said. "People know they are

going to get good, home-cooked

food.

In her mind, that means

dishes such as oven-roasted tur-

key, corned beef, macaroni and

cheese, cole slaw, the famous

Perry's burger, made-to-order

omelettes and Walt's Famous

Black Angus prime rib.

The restaurant is open seven

days a week, serving breakfast

and lunch as well. The Perrys

also do takeout and offer gift

certificates.

the Main Street Eatery can be

contacted at (802) 287-5188.

First-graders finding outabout December's events

The first graders have been

busy learning about different

celebrations that happen in

December. What a fun time of

year to learn about other peo-

ples customs and traditions.

We all decided that we would

love to have potato latkes!

The first graders are busy

writing great stories based on

an adventure on a red sled. The

kids are being very creative.

They will be great stories to

read when they are done.

The first and third graders

continue to get together to work

on reading fluency and social

skills. We just spent some time

sharing great book projects. We

will get together next week to

work on a special project that

includes reading to complete it!

What fun!

I want to wish you all a won-

derful holiday season. Spend

some time together cuddled up

reading some great stories. It

will make for great memories!

The Slate Valley Museum is

hosting the art of Victoria

Whitney of The North Granville

Pottery Company for First

Friday on Jan. 6.

The museum, which is in

Granville, will join with the

Pember Library & Museum for

its monthly First Friday event.

This will also be one of the last

opportunities to see the exhibit

Rivals in Slate, Brothers in

War, and wonderful communi-

ty spirit all at two wonderful

local museums!

Whitney specializes in creat-

ing unique and historically

inspired ceramic works of art

ranging from Italian Majolica

and Dutch Delft inspired pieces

to redware created from slate

dug near local red slate quar-

ries!.

She digs her clay on her

aunts property near a red slate

quarry.

The local streams provide

the best place to dig clay as the

moving water helps reveal the

clay and wash away most of the

impurities.

The raw clay is actually gray

in color when pulled from the

earth and resembles the slate it

sits upon.

Once the raw clay has been

sieved and impurities have been

removed, it is put on a plaster

slab to remove excess water and

wedge the clay.

After it is completely cleaned

and wedged to remove air bub-

bles, Whitney throws each piece

to create beautiful vessels, jars,

and planters.

The redware does not obtain

its unique color until it has

been fired.

The iron in the clay (which

also creates our unique red

slate) oxidizes during the firing

process to give the finished

piece the beautiful color only

possible in the slate valley!

For more information on

Victoria Whitney and her work

or for images please visit www.

northgranvillepotteryco.com or

e-mail victoriawhitney07@

gmail.com .

The Pember has not

announced its specific plans for

the January event, but they will

include food, music and art.

Pember, call (518) 642-2525.

Lucy the cat is a popular and

pleasant way to while away

some time weather its reading

or surfing the Internet.

Pember Librarian Ardyce

Bresett said patrons love the cat

and often take her picture when

they see her doing something

adorable.

It seems that Lucy is well-

loved by many of our patrons.

She is also a ham and every

time we turned around, some-

one was taking a photo of her.

We asked people to submit pho-

tos they had taken and we put

together a calendar, she said.

Apparently thats fairly often

as Bresett put together a fund-

raiser calendar featuring pic-

tures of the library mascot

doing what she does best.

From reading the paper to

eyeing a tantalizing Christmas

decoration, those purchasing

the calendar will have 12 chanc-

es to see their favorite Lucy

pose.

There are photos of Lucy

posing in all kinds of places in

the library: Lucy with a witchs

hat, Lucy sleeping in the win-

dow, Lucy sitting in our

Christmas wreath, Lucy relax-

ing in the museum, Lucy check-

ing out the Amazon parrot,

Lucy reading the Sentinel. We

used all the submitted photos

unless they were too fuzzy to

reproduce well. We are very

pleased with the results, she

said.

The calendar can be seen at

the library.

Each calendar is $10 and all

proceeds go to support the

Pember Library and Museum.

%\'HUHN/LHELJAngela Woodbury has a soft

spot in her heart for mans best

friend.

Woodbury volunteers her

time assisting the efforts of the

Circle of Hope K9 Rescue orga-

nization, a not for profit group

based out of West Tennessee-

with a chapter in New England-

that focuses on rescuing dogs

(and some other animals) and

finding them loving homes.

In the last few weeks, the

local chapter of the organiza-

tion rescued more than two

dozen puppies. But each of

those dogs requires some medi-

cal care and those expenses can

add up, so the organization will

hold a special Indoor Lawn Sale

next weekend to help pay for

that care.

The sale will be held from 9

a.m. to 6 p.m. on Saturday, Jan. 7

and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday,

Jan. 8 at the Castleton American

Legion.

Woodbury said the sale will

include a little bit of every-

thing, from exercise equipment

to furniture, kitchenware and

clothes. She even received a

donation of hubcaps.

We have everything. I have

a storage unit and its complete-

ly full. There is lots of kids

stuff, including toys and furni-

ture. People have been donating

like crazy; its been great, she

said.

The indoor lawn sale will

also include a 50/50 raffle and a

benefit calendar.

There will also be informa-

tion on how to adopt pets,

including pictures of some of

the animals. And people who

dont have the ability to adopt

pets but would like to help can

sponsor animals.

Woodbury said sponsors help

bypaying for immunizations

and food.The organization is

also looking for donations of

items both to augment the sale

and help the group.

Woodbury said the organiza-

tion is looking for dog (and even

cat) related items, be that old

leashes, collars, dog beds, blan-

kets, sheets; anything the ani-

mals may need.

Donations can be dropped

off at Woodburys house in

Castleton or at the American

Legion on Friday night.

Anyone who would like to

contact Woodbury or would like

to learn more about the Circle

of Hope K9 Rescue can visit

or go to their Facebook page at

England.

Finding out what job might be best for youRecently, Fair Haven Grade

School had a visit from Monda

Kelly who works for VSAC.

VSAC stands for Vermont

Student Assistance

Corporation.

It was founded in 1965.

VSAC is a nonprofit agency

to help Vermonters get to col-

lege. They provide grants,

loans, and scholarships. They

will help you plan your educa-

tion goals. Monday gave us a

packet to help us find some

career choices that we might

find interesting.

We went to vsac.org, made

an account, and then did the

career cluster. You could look

at the many different job

opportunities for the top choice

your profile showed.

I learned that I would be

good at Hospitality and

Tourism. I would like to

become a wildlife biologist who

motivates young women trying

to get them into the outdoors

and get them to try hunting.

-- Cara Grade 8

Making cookies Ms. Robertson, Ms.

Nowakowski, and Ms.

Salamins third grade read a

book called Christmas Cookies

by Amy Krouse Rosenthal. The

book uses all kinds of big

vocabulary words like respon-

sible, anticipation, believe and

family to describe how to make

cookies and what they mean to

the kid in the story.

Our class took the words

and put them on cookie shapes.

On the back, we wrote what the

words mean to us. Then we

glued our cookies to bottom of

a glass plate. After that we got

to bake and decorate real cook-

ies! We hope you read this holi-

day story with your family and

get to make cookies too!

-- Ellie, Harley, Olasia, Grade 3

Chess ClubThe Fair Haven Grade School

Chess Club meets every

Thursday after school. This is a

great opportunity for kids to

get interested in chess. Mrs.

Surething is the advisor and

there are always snacks.

I like chess club because I,

one percent like to win and

ninety-nine percent like to help

my friends learn how to play

chess. Olasia says that the best

part of chess club is that you

get to be with your friends.

Sometimes Virgil who used to

go to school here comes from

the high school to help. Hes

nice. I think everyone should

try chess. Its fun.

-- Reid Grade 3

Can Tabs The students and staff at

Fair Haven Grade School are

still collecting tabs for the

Shriners Children Hospital.

We collect tabs of all size and

color. We are putting all the

tabs on strings. Our goal is to

create a chain of tabs tops that

goes all around the Fair Haven

Park. Please bring in can tabs

so we can accomplish this

amazing feat.

Shriners Hospitals for

Children in Springfield and

Boston have been collecting

pull-tabs or pop-tops from

beverage cans since 1989, recy-

cling them, and putting the

money toward programs that

directly benefit children.

-- Sam Grade 8

Stafford visitThe Stafford Technical

Center is a fantastic opportuni-

ty for area high school stu-

dents. Recently, the Fair Haven

Grade School eighth grade had

the opportunity to visit the

school. We had a wonderful

time and learned a great deal

about what the school has to

offer. This school offers many

fields of study which gives its

students a jump start on the

career of their choice. Students

wishing to pursue a career in

nursing can enroll in the nurs-

ing program. This allows stu-

dents to get their LNA before

they get to college. They have a

range of programs that appeal

to many peoples interests.

They have fine arts courses

like music and art as well as

culinary arts. They have blue

collar courses like welding and

plumbing. The school also has

computer science and criminal

justice programs. During our

visit to the school, we met stu-

dents who attend the school

who seemed very happy to be

able to do the things they loved,

and learn skills to apply in

their life, everyday.

You must apply to this

school and be accepted to

attend as your junior or senior

year in high school.

they will be receiving a $30,000

Cultural Facilities Grant from

the Vermont Arts Council.

These funds will be used to

The receipt of this grant

launched a capital campaign to

update the historic building

that houses the 50-year-old orga-

nization.

The Cultural Facilities Grant

puts the organization half-

way to its goal of matching the

federal Save Americas

Treasures grant.

The Cultural Facilities grant

funding, along with contribu-

tions from community mem-

improve and update the build-

ings electrical system.

This first phase of renova-

tions will include the installa-

tion of a new fire alarm system,

upgraded electrical service,

total rewiring, devices and effi-

cient light fixtures. An upgrad-

ed electrical system will allow

for expanded programming and

support future restoration of

the building.

The capital campaign will

continue until the full $84,000

Save Americas Treasure grant

is matched. If you would like to

help the Chaffee meet this goal,

donations can be made through

Its very hard to write a remembrance for people who

are much younger than you. It takes a lot longer because

you remember them as little kids and that is cause for

tears wetting the paper you are writing on.

One of the most horrible feelings in the world must

come when one of your own children leaves this world

Country musics Male

Vocalist of the Year, Collin Raye

will be performing live at 8 p.m.

Friday, Jan. 27 at the Paramount

Theatre in Rutland.

This special acoustic evening

will have limited seating avail-

able only in the orchestra level

of the historic venue.

One of the true hit makers of

the 1990s, Collin Raye still con-

tinues to crank out soulful,

heartfelt material with the hon-

esty and richness that is signa-

ture to his vocals on his

StarPointe Records label. Raye

shot to fame with Love, Me in

1991. Listeners were so touched

that they used its lyrics at funer-

als and memorial services. That

set the cornerstone for a career

built on meaningful songs.

Little Rock was an anthem for

the recovery community.

Twenty-three of Collins 25

singles went top 10; 15 of these

going all the way to No. 1.

We are honored to have this

opportunity to present Collin

Raye in one of his rare acoustic

performances. said Paramount

Theatre Programming Director,

Eric Mallette The audience

will be in for a real treat as this

chart topper cranks out one hit

after another!

- $28.50), go on sale Thursday,

Theatre Box Office at 802 775-
