BARTON — Around Valentine’s Day, hand-knitted scarves in a variety of colors appearedon railings outside the library and stores aroundtown. Each scarf had a heart-shaped card attached

that read: “I am not lost. If you feel the cold ofwinter’s chills, please take me for your very own.Made with love.” A dozen people in Barton now have

something warm to go around their necks.The previously anonymous knitter is 84-

year-old Anne Seadale of Barton, who callsgiving away the scarves “my Valentine’s Day giftto myself.” Mrs. Seadale got the idea from a report she

saw on one of the news channels sometime inJanuary about a group of knitters in Burlingtonwho knit and leave scarves around the city foranyone who needs them.“I thought to myself, I could do that,” she

said. “It was just before Valentine’s Day, and Iwas home with a cold. The timing was perfect.”

So Mrs. Seadale went to the closet whereshe stores her yarn, and took stock of her partialskeins and leftovers. Even though she gaveaway a lot of yarn before she moved to Barton in2011, she could still stock a small knitting shop. Then she sat down and started to knit. In a

few weeks she’d turned out 12 gaily stripedscarves, each one taking about ten hours tomake. Mrs. Seadale says she’s knitted every day

since she was four years old. She’ll turn 85 in July. “I knit while I watch television or while I

read,” she said. “It’s my hobby.”As a child, young Anne enjoyed sitting down

alongside her mother with yarn and needles inthe evening after supper.“My sisters didn’t knit, so it was something

we had together,” she said. By the time she was ten, Anne was knitting

things to donate to the Red Cross for the soldiersin World War II. And in high school, she made her pocket

money knitting sweaters and accessories forfriends. With as much practice as she’s had, Mrs.

Seadale can even knit in the dark, at least aslong as she sticks to the simple stockinette stitchshe uses to make the scarves.“When I was a teenager I used to knit in the

movie theater,” she said. It’s probably fortunate that Mrs. Seadale can

knit while she does other things. At Christmas time she made eleven long

shawls and gave them all away. Then she madethe dozen scarves for Valentine’s Day. And she’sstill knitting. She already has six scarves donefor next winter, along with some child-size hatsand mittens. For those she uses more elaborate cable and

popcorn-style patterns.“I’m using up my extra yarn,” she said. Mrs. Seadale declined to be photographed,

but visitors to the Copper Plate food truck wouldrecognize her as owner Eddie Seadale’s mother.During the summer season, she works alongsideher son every day. At home at night she makes the wide variety

of desserts and special dishes that bring hopefulpatrons back time and again to see what’s on themenu board.

She still bakes every day, Mrs. Seadale said,even when the food truck is closed for theseason. But in the winter she donates what she

bakes to Hearts of Change, a faith-based homefor women who are dealing with alcohol andother problems in their lives. A neighbor that Mrs. Seadale greeted on her

daily walks turned out to be director JulieMckay. Now Mrs. Seadale bakes something forHearts of Change every day.“I just make whatever I want,” she said. “A

quiche, a small casserole, squares, pies, orcakes.”For Mrs. Seadale, it’s all about keeping busy

and knowing that she’s doing some good alongthe way. She and her husband of 60 years had been

planning to move from their home in Maine,where they had lived for 23 years, to Barton,where their son and only granddaughter lived.When her husband died suddenly, Mrs.

Seadale decided to go ahead with the plan. She arrived in Barton the week of Hurricane

Irene in 2011. Starting life over in a new place hasn’t been

easy, she said. Asked for her advice for otherseniors moving to be near their adult children,she said simply, “You have to take the betterthings out of it.”Busy and active as she is, she said that

loneliness is a reality.“Anyone who has been successfully married

for 60 years is going to be lonely,” she said.But she’s worked at having a rich and busy

life here.“It’s what you make it,” she said. “I don’t

think other people can make it for you.” When Mrs. Seadale arrived in Barton, her

son still owned Parson’s Corner restaurant, and

she helped him there. Since the restaurant changed hands, she’s

kept close ties to chef-owner Dave Rath. She goes to the restaurant every morning at

5:30 a.m.“I slice the bread and get my breakfast,” she

said. Some days, she goes back in the afternoons

to help clean up. She reads a bit, “though not as much as I

probably should,” she said.And she said she singlehandedly keeps the

Barton post office in business, writing real paperletters and mailing them to friends and family. She also plays bridge several times a week,

some in Barton and some in Newport. “I make myself busy,” she said. Fortunately, Mrs. Seadale still drives a car.

After a lifetime in Massachusetts and Maine,she doesn’t worry too much about driving onsnow. “Just snow, I’ll go, “ she said. “but ice I don’t

do any more.” And whenever she finds herself stuck

indoors with bad weather, as she was onSunday, there’s always knitting.Donating what she knits to people who need

it gives Mrs. Seadale, as she puts it, “a sourcefor my efforts.” “How many sweaters and hats and mittens

can one person wear?” she asks. For a few years she made mittens for

children at the Barton Academy. And she still knits mittens, though they’re

not her favorite thing to do.“I hate making the thumbs,” she said. To get around that, she knits a whole stack

of mittens, all but the dreaded thumbs.

by Tena Starr

A couple of weeks ago I had one of thosenasty wintertime accidents that take you bysurprise. It’s rendered me nearly immobile — forweeks, probably months if I believe the surgeons.Running out to the car to fetch something in thedark, wearing treadless house shoes, I slipped onthe icy and uneven path and twisted my left footbad enough to shatter my heel bone. A remarkable outcome, the baffled ER doctors

at North Country Hospital said. Usually, aperson only acquires that kind of injury by fallingoff a roof feet first. But it happened, and after four hours of

reconstructive surgery at Dartmouth-Hitchcock, Icame home last Sunday to very thoughtfulfriends, family, and neighbors who aredetermined to feed us. As it turns out, that generosity is a godsend.

After a notably inedible dinner (burnedvegetables, sloppy, half-raw scalloped potatoes)my son agreed that, while normally I’m a prettygood cook, I might want to give it a rest ratherthan go to all that effort only to have dinner go tothe goats, who apparently don’t care if the beetshave crispy black edges and the parsnips aretasteless and provide serious exercise for one’sjaw. Cooking while in a wheelchair is certainly

possible. I know people who excel at it. Mydeepest respect goes out to all those who livecompetent lives in a wheelchair. My ineptitude isembarrassing, but apparently I haven’t yetacquired the knack. Or my kitchen is not set upfor it. Or I get impatient with the difficultyinvolved in what I think should be a simplematter. The potatoes and onions are in an

unreachable basket in a far corner of the kitchencounter, which is too high for a person in awheelchair. I tried peeling them on the counter,but quickly realized that with my eyes just

peeking over the edge, I was as likely to peel myfingers as the potatoes. The flour is in a heavy glass jar in another

unreachable corner. The oven is also in a corner,so I can’t get to it from the side. When I open thedoor and reach in to check on something, I haveto lean over far enough that I feel like I’m goingto fall in. Falling face first into a hot oven isanother thing I don’t want to happen. Many ingredients are in upper cupboards,

and when I have two functioning legs I stand ona chair to get them. I’m pretty sure my collectionof doctors would discourage me from balancingprecariously on one leg on a wicker chair in orderto fetch a can of tomatoes. One doctor said: You don’t have to listen to

my advice — and you strike me as the sort ofperson who would prefer not to — but in this caseyou might want to consider the alternative, whichis that you may never walk well, or without pain,again. That got my attention.So I’m trying to behave, stay off my feet, not

fall into the oven, or test my balance by standingstork-like on a kitchen chair. And, among otherthings, that has meant that anything I’ve tried tomake beyond cheese and crackers has turned outto be almost laughably awful. So thank God for those friends and

neighbors., who I have learned in the past week,are awesome cooks. We’ve enjoyed Tex Mex casserole, shepherd’s

pie, chicken stew, cream of broccoli soup,fantastic salads with strawberries, dates, apples,and nuts, pumpkin and black bean tortillas,corned venison with vegetables, homemade rolls,chili, lasagna, cookies, brownies, and whoopiepies. If I gain 20 pounds over the next fewweeks, it’s not my fault.I told a colleague how well fed we are and

listed some of our tasty meals. He said I made itsound like being laid up was enviable. It isn’t. For one thing, it’s confining. The

inability to do the simplest tasks, like fetch themail, feed the little goats, or jump in the car toget a quart of milk sometimes strikes me asunbelievable. It can’t be true that I’m unable todo things so routine, so benign. It can’t be truethat sweeping the floor, much less washing it, istoo daunting to even attempt. For another, it’s isolating. I haven’t read a

newspaper besides my own in two weeks. Goingfrom the Chronicle office to my living room is abig change. While I’ve always been good withsolitude, forced solitude leaves me restless,anxious to go somewhere whether I need to ornot. And it’s painful, which is tiring. Which

makes ordinary life, even a diminished life,harder than it ought to be. In my opinion. Lifehas slowed way down, and while some who knowme well might think that’s a good thing, I find itfrustrating. (Though I have to admit that anevening spent watching bad movies with mysister — something I’d never find time to do if Icould walk — was a lot of fun.)It hurts my misguided sense of pride, and my

false sense of independence, to ask for favors,despite repeated assurances that if I needanything all I have to do is say so. I know thoseoffers are entirely sincere, and the fault lies withme and how hard it is to ask, to feel dependent onothers. A Home Health nurse asked me the other

day: What is your aversion to calling 911? (I sathere all night with a broken foot not wanting tobother the Glover Ambulance in the middle of thenight.)Well.... I don’t know. It’s all part and parcel,

I guess. I come from a time and a place wherepeople didn’t ask for much help, didn’t visit thedoctor unless it was dire (at her request, myfather pulled out my grandmother’s painful toothwith pliers), and prided themselves onindependence and self-sufficiency. I have to remind myself that in that time and

place people also quietly helped each other agreat deal. My pepere let grocery bills slide if heknew a family was trying, working hard, buthaving a tough time making it. Farmers helpedeach other haying and rebuilding burned barns.My mother rarely had a Thanksgiving dinnerthat didn’t include someone who might haveotherwise spent the day alone. I’ve given this thought, and I think the thing

is that people weren’t forced to ask for help; itwas just there. Being similar, people understoodand simply showed up, leaving pride intact, or atleast semi-intact, or at least everyone couldpretend. Or they knew that what goes aroundcomes around.My neighbors have done exactly the same

thing. They simply show up, or call to inform methey are going to show up. With meals, to dolaundry, to shovel snow. They haven’t botheredto ask if I need anything; they take it for grantedthat I do, and this being the remarkablecommunity it is, they just do it. And for that —that empathetic kindness, which protects mywounded pride and damaged sense ofindependence –—I am perhaps more gratefulthan anything else. I owe you all much. Let’s hope I can repay all

that kindness — and if the need arises, that I’mas good a cook as you are.

On the hard way to learn your friends can cook

the Chronicle, March 1, 2017 Page 3B

by Paul Lefebvre

I could tell by the look on their faces theywere disappointed in me. As an only child, I grewup disappointing people, mainly my parents, soI’m familiar with the look even though I wasunaware this time around of the cause.

There were three of them standing at themouth of a hallway that leads to the well of theHouse, an entrance used mainly by legislatorsand people such as lobbyists who hang aroundapproaches such as this one in hopes of gleaninga nugget of information that might tell them howa bill they were working on to either advance ordefeat was doing.

“There he is now,” one of them said, pointing afinger at me. I walked over and shook his hand.

Ed is a sportsman lobbyist whom I haveknown since the Champion lands debate of theearly nineteen-nineties. With him is hiscolleague, Frank, a lobbyist who tracks land useissues for the sporting community, along with athird fellow, unknown to me, a citizen it seemswho advocates on behalf of those who ride four-wheeler or all-terrain vehicles.

“What’s up?” I asked, once the introductionswere over.

I quickly learned they were upset over a bill Iam co-sponsoring to register land in Vermont thathas been the subject of an easement, eitherconservation or otherwise. What I thought wasfairly an innocuous piece of legislation, theyregard as an invasion of privacy issue that willupset landowners who do not want to see theirland listed on a public register.

Their objections confused me. “I thought itmight serves as a guide for fellows like you whowant to develop trails to ride on,” I said,admittedly thinking like a reporter who hastracked changes in land uses over the years andrelies on public documents.

“Yeah, well what about the $300 fine for thosewho don’t comply?” one of them asked.

“What $300 fine?” I said, caught completelyoff guard.

“That’s the fine they want for landowners whofail to register land where an easement has beensold,” one of them replied.

“I didn’t realize the bill contained a fine,” Isaid, recalling the circumstances under which Ihad signed onto a piece of legislation withoutreading it completely through. “I’ll talk to thesponsor, and when the bill comes up incommittee, I’ll work to get the fine removed.”

The apology sounded lame, even as the wordswere leaving my mouth. I had made a rookielegislator’s mistake but the trouble was I wasn’t arookie any longer. How did you fall into thattrap, I asked myself, as the conversation tookanother turn and we went our separate ways.

Later, I came to view my predicament more asan ethical issue than a political one. I had beencareless, a flaw that neither a legislator nor areporter can sustain. Once you put your name tosomething, you own it. There is no going back. Itold myself that if I could eliminate the fine, I couldlive with the bill. But the more disturbing questionwas why had I acted so carelessly in giving awaymy name to co-sponsor a bill I hadn’t read.

At first, I tried to tell myself I had acted tohelp a fellow legislator meet a deadline. Whenthe leading sponsor approached me, time wasrunning out to submit bills for consideration bythis year’s Legislature. I also signed the bill onthe belief the public would be better served byknowing what land in the state had beenencumbered with an easement. And if there werelandowners who didn’t want to participate in aregistry, so what? That would be fine as it was

their land. Moreover, while land ownershipschange, easements, as the lawyers are fond ofsaying, remain in perpetuity.

Each time I went over the reasons behind mydecision to co-sponsor the bill, my logic felt sound.The only trouble was it hadn’t gone far enough.Consequently, I was part owner of a bill thatwould require landowners to register easementson their property or pay a fine. Not a penalty Ifavored or supported.

I was stuck. How to avoid getting caught likethis again? As a reporter, I take great pride inresearching what I write. Granted, I still makemistakes, but often the mistakes are not theresult of being careless or reckless with the facts.Clearly, the issue before me as a legislator, wasnot whether I had been careless over signing ontoa bill, but why?

I have a theory or, better yet, a workingexplanation in progress. I am becomingincreasingly impatient with the pace of life. Ican’t decide whether it’s too slow or too fast.What I do suspect is that it interrupts whateverelse I have on my mind. When I look back on mydays as a reporter, the mistakes I made wereoften made when I was in a hurry to dosomething else. Something more interesting.Something more important. It was often the littlestory, where mistakes due to carelessness weremade, such as in the spelling of a person’s name,citing the wrong age or misrepresentingsomeone’s hometown. Each erodes creditability.

“If you can’t get the spelling of a person’sname right, then why should any reader believeyou got the story right?” a fuming editor onceasked me, at what I now would define as animpatiently correct moment.

Recently, over a conversation at the kitchentable, a woman remarked that our sense of timechanges as we age. Which is to say the older webecome, the more we mind the passing of time. Ithink she was on to something. Unfortunately,the more we value time, the more impatient webecome when life gets in our way.

When I was elected to the Legislature threeyears ago, people said I would learn much aboutpeople in the state and how government works.They were right, but I’m also learning I am notalways the person I imagine myself to be. Itappears that I had to become a legislator beforerealizing my carelessness and impatience arelikely joined at the hip.

Those who knew Mr. Camberknow he led a rich life from racingcars, delivering milk, having hisown paper route and restaurant, toretiring which really meant drivingcars for auctions. He was a

generous man with the kindestheart known for sharing whateverhe had with those in need. He lovedmeandering along a back road neverworrying about the destination butrather enjoying the journey. Thosewho knew him also knew howstraight forward and practical hewas. It seems fitting we include hisfinal words.

“I was born to John AndersonCamber and Bernice Moulton onNovember 1, 1924. That is AllSaints Day. No wonder I was alittle angel. I lived in Newport onthe east side through graded schooland one year of high school. Myfather retired from the railroad in1938. The next year they bought alittle farm on the Beebe Road and Idid my three years in DerbyAcademy in 1942. At least I got mydiploma. I worked with my daddoing carpentry work then went toBray Wood Heel in Orleans until itburned. Then I worked for theRailway Express until after the warended. I then worked for H.P. Hood

and Sons until 1970, this includeddriving milk tankers straight andsemi for Gaston Poulin and PaulBurkewitz.

I married Adeline Leona Scott,the daughter of John Scott andRuby Flora Hyland Scott onSeptember 15, 1951. This was theyear Paul Ernest Sykes was born inBoston, Massachusetts. We adoptedPaul in 1971.

In 1970, Mrs. Camber and Ibought Dick’s Drive-In, in Derby, onthe Derby Line Road. I sold it inFebruary of 1980 after my wife died.After selling the diner I had aBurlington Free Press paper routethrough Island Pond. Before givingit up I went to work for the MulkinCorporation, that lasted 22 years,until I finally retired in May of2004.

And then, in “one awful day” she knits andattaches thumbs to every pair.

Scarves are easier and more relaxing to make,she said, though weaving the edges is tedious.

“It’s almost as bad as thumbs,” she said. This year she hung her Valentine’s Day

scarves on railings in front of the C & C Market,the library, the pharmacy, and E.M. Brown’s inBarton.

“People can wear them, or use them to keep afamily member warm, or give them away tosomeone who needs them,” she said.

All but one of the scarves were taken. Thelast she gave to Ms. Mckay at Hearts of Change.

“When I go shopping, I look to see if I spotsomeone wearing one of the scarves,” she said. “Ihope I do someday.”

Mrs. Seadale was never one for being involvedin civic groups, even in her younger days, shesaid.

Born on Martha’s Vineyard, she married aftergraduating from University of MassachusettsAmherst.

She was a stay-at-home mother while her sonand daughter were growing up.

“I was very actively involved in theirschooling,” she said. “I didn’t have time to domuch else.”

After her children were grown, she helped herhusband in his dental practice.

“But I was never one to join the League ofWomen Voters or the Grange,” she said. “I wasnever one to do things in groups.”

The knitting and baking fill her need to beinvolved in the community on her own terms.

“I feel like I’m busy working with a purpose ifsomeone can use it,” Mrs. Seadale said.

An injured barred owl sat in theback seat of a four-door sedan,staring balefully out the window atits rescuer. “I saw him on the sideof the road, just sitting there, tryingto fly,” the young woman explainedto Maria Colby, director of Wings ofthe Dawn Wildlife Rehabilitationand Rescue. “Other cars werestopping and then circling backaround to see if I needed help. Hiseye looks messed up.” Ms. Colby nodded, her

spectacles perched on her nose andher hands protected by large leathergloves with gauntlets. She openedthe car door, wrapping the owl upinto a towel and whisking it insideher house, to her warm kitchen.The owl panicked, making clickingnoises and trying to fly, but Ms.Colby kept a firm hold as sheadministered a few droplets of painmedication into its beak. Then shecarried the owl into her triage roomand placed it in a small pet carrier.She explained that she would let itrest for twenty minutes until thepain medication kicked in, then doan evaluation and consult with herlocal veterinarian. She would alsoreport the owl to both federal andstate fish and wildlife departments.“Can I call you to see how it’s

doing?” the young woman asked. “Of course,” Ms. Colby assured

her. “I’ll know more in a few days.”Wings of the Dawn, located in

Henniker, New Hampshire, hasbeen rehabilitating wildlife fornearly thirty years. Ms. Colby isthe organization’s only full-timestaff member, but many othersare involved, including a group ofdedicated volunteers. With theirhelp, in 2016, Ms. Colby rescuedover 500 birds and 200 mammals.Her bird patients have includedowls and hawks, bald eagles,loons, ducks, songbirds, pigeons,sparrows, and crows. She hasalso cared for foxes, skunks,fishers, raccoons, possums, and

even a bobcat and a bear cub. This time of year, Ms. Colby

mostly sees barred owls. They maybe hit by cars, fly into windows, or ifthere is heavy snowfall, simply beweakened from hunger. Day ornight, including weekends andholidays, Ms. Colby’s phone willring. “I’m always on call,” she saidfirmly. Wildlife rehabilitation is

especially tricky business in winter.The deck is stacked against animalsthat are vulnerable due to stressfrom an injury. Ms. Colby won’teven release rehabbed patients untillate February or early March, inorder to give them the best possiblechance at survival. The exceptionsto this rule are rescued barred owlsthat have no eye injuries; if an owlcan fly and has full vision, she willrelease it as soon as it is healed.

The Vermont Institute ofNatural Science (VINS) in Quechee,Vermont, also rescues andrehabilitates birds throughout theyear, and takes special precautionsto make sure that winter-releasedpatients have a good chance ofenduring the harsh conditions.According to Lauren Adams, leadwildlife keeper at VINS, ofparticular concern are migratorybirds that are injured or lose theirflock. A bird that is meant to flysouth for the winter is unlikely tosurvive up here, and VINS provideshelp by arranging transport down toanother wildlife sanctuary in a morehabitable climate.VINS is also the frequent

recipient of injured barred owls. Attheir wildlife hospital, just like atWings of the Dawn, the first stage istriage. Large birds are placed in a

pet carrier or cage that is coveredwith towels to reduce stress.Smaller birds are placed in towel-lined plastic tubs. Pain and anti-inflammatory medications areadministered, as well as fluids tokeep the bird hydrated. Once a birdshows signs of recovery, staff moveit to a larger stall with perches andheat lamps. As the bird becomeseven stronger, staff may place it in alarge outside enclosure. Sincestanding water will freeze in thewinter, wild birds often get fluidsvia their food. For raptors, VINSinjects dead rodents with water andplaces them on heat disks to preventan unappetizing mouse-cicle effect.Eventually, recovering birds of

prey are placed in a flight cage. Theflight cage is approximately twentyfeet long, and includes ladders,perches, and ramps designed to helpthe bird exercise its flight andhunting behaviors. The cage is “L”-shaped in order to facilitate andencourage the turning maneuversrequired for hunting. Like Ms. Colby, the VINS staff

is careful about the timing of winterreleases. According to Ms. Adams,another concern is that healed birdscan re-injure themselves in captivityby attempting to escape, so oncethey are healthy enough to huntand fly, out they go. The staff atVINS will check the weather andpick a nice day with no freezing rainin the forecast, and no heavy winds.“We know we’ve given them theirbest chance to survive,” said Ms.Adams. “We wish them luck.”For more information about

VINS and Wings of the Dawn, visitvinsweb.org and wingswildlife.org.
