A Poultney man whose actions led to the apprehension of a pair of bank robbers last November has been selected as the Poultney Chamber of Commerce’s “Citizen of the Year.”

Jeff Roberts, known affectionately as “Jeff the Barber,” will officially receive the distinc-tion during a ceremony at the Poultney

American Legion at 5 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 15.

“When we choose our citizen of the year, we look for someone who is recognizable and has given to the community and Jeff certainly fits that description,” said Valerie Broughton, president of the Chamber of Commerce. “He’s a true member of the Poultney community.

The Poultney Food Shelf will hold an open shelf at the Stonebridge Inn, for the eligible residents of Poultney, Middletown Springs and Hampton, NY on Saturday, Dec. 15, from 9 a.m. until noon.

month, said Joan Donaghy, vice chair and secretary. Though numbers are up from last year and she sees new clients come in regularly, Donaghy said commu-nity generosity has kept things afloat.

“Everyone rallies around the need here; somebody’s always giving us something,” she said.

Julie Austin, executive direc-tor of Fair Haven Concerned, is having a similar experience.

“We have a higher number of people, but donations are pretty good. We’re able to meet the need right now,” Austin said. She added that her organization is more than just a food shelf; it also helps locals with fuel, rent, and utility costs.

“Our goal is to prevent home-lessness,” Austin said.

Donaghy said her food shelf gets food and monetary dona-tions from many sources. The Station restaurant, for example, donates home-baked muffins and other bread items that it doesn’t sell. Local organizations, such as the Rotary Club, the Boy Scouts and Green Mountain College arrange food drives for canned goods and other basic staples, and also give money towards the shelf.

At a recent open Thanksgiving meal, Donaghy said the shelf served 75 families and still had leftovers after the generosity of local groups. She will have a Christmas open shelf on Dec. 15.

At Our Neighbor’s Table in Wells, however, there isn’t as much of a surplus. Director Michelle Bates said since the bank opened a little over a year ago, the size of the cupboard has doubled. After 11 months of twice-monthly operation, the shelf is now open every week

and is going through a lot more food.

“We live in an area with no jobs, the schools has over 50% eligible for free or reduced lunches and a lot of the seniors here are on a tight budget,” Bates said. Like the other food shelves, Bates orders a lot of her stock from the Vermont Food Bank, which allows her to stretch funds.

The only stipulation to get-ting food from Bates’ shelf is living in Wells.

“As long as you’re a Wells resident, and you think you need food, we’re going to give you food,” Bates said. The 30-35 fami-lies who use the shelf, which the Modern Woodsman has donated for use, are allowed to visit two times per month.

All three shelves help fami-lies who are less fortunate.

“We’re a vital aspect to the community; there’s no reason they can’t get food if they need food,” Donaghy said.

Austin, whose shelf is open every morning from 10 to 11 a.m. at St. Mary’s School, agrees.

“There are a lot of struggling people out there, and I hope we help them,” she said.

Our Neighbor’s Table is open on Wednesdays from 5-6 p.m., with appointments from 6-7 p.m., and on the Saturday after the third Wednesday of every month from 9-11 a.m. Bates wants peo-ple to know they can make a one-on-one appointment for anyone who is hesitant to come in dur-ing regular hours.

“I hope people give money, I hope people give food and I hope people come in and use the food shelf,” she said.

There will be a fund-raising Bingo on Sunday, Dec. 9 at noon at the MWA.

Poultney hymn sing and teaThe Welsh Presbyterian

Church in Poultney will host a Christmas carol sing and tea on Sunday, Dec. 16, at 2 p.m.

A nondenominational event, the congregational music will be sung in English. Christmas hymns will be selections from “The Celebration Hymnal, Songs and Hymns for Worship.”

The church is on Grove Street (Route 30) in Poultney.

A free-will offering will be taken, benefitting the church’s handicap elevator construction fund and for the Poultney

Cemetery Association grounds maintenance.

Following the sing, refresh-ments will be served downstairs in St. David’s Hall.

All are welcome. Holiday sea-son baked goods to share for the tea will be appreciated. If you’d like to provide baked goods, please let either Benita Mead or Helen Jones know as soon as possible.

For more information, contact Benita Mead, [email protected], (802) 287-5264; Helen Jones, (802)-287-9729 or Nancy Williams (518) 642-0709.

used to express a bunch of things; it’s not just pretty trees, it’s a way to see how people reflect their own artistic styles, engage the community and give back,” said Kate Weller, execu-tive director of the museum.

At 7:30, a bit after the event starts, Santa and Mrs. Claus will arrive at the museum in a light-ed and decorated carriage pulled by two Clydesdales from Wing Clydesdales and Horse Farm. The Clauses will give treats to children and pose for pictures as well.

The museum is holding this festival instead of the tradition-al holiday open-house as part of a multi-year initiative to bring together the community in the Slate Valley. Weller said the museum is trying to go beyond the museum’s walls and beyond

the slate industry.“We’re hoping to combine

two things that will blend into each other to create something unified and seamless,” she said. Organizers of the event hope it will build upon itself each year. Molly Biggs Celani, museum board president, said they’ll look into centerpieces and man-tel decorations for next year if all is successful.

Weller highlights the event as a local opportunity for families.

“It’s a neat thing that’s hap-pening right here in Granville,” Weller said. While the majority of the trees will go back to their decorators, Celani said a few people want theirs to be sold or auctioned, with the money going back to the museum.

Meanwhile, across the river, the Pember will hold its regular holiday market First Friday for the third year.

Bo Young, a Pember trustee, said this event hosts more than

the regular three artists and is more gift-oriented.

“It’s that time of the year, and a lot more people are looking around,” Young said.� Among this year’s artists will be Denise Tilley, showing her custom-made hats and Gisele Zeitler, offering hand-made handbags and natural stone necklaces.

Young said it is really excit-ing that Al and Kathy Bain, a musical couple who are popular all over New York state, will be performing. He said their music has become somewhat of a tradi-tion for the December First Friday.

In keeping with the holiday theme, Pember trustees will be baking cookies for attendees, and will be offering mulled cider and other beverages. For more information, check out Young’s column.

Every First Friday takes place from 7 to 9 p.m.

The Pond Hill Interscholastic Equestrian Teams will host their second annual basket raf-fle next weekend.

The raffle will be held on Sunday, Dec. 16, at the Bomoseen Grange, next to Hubbardton Forge on Route 30. Doors will open at 11 a.m., and drawings will begin at 1 p.m.

The cost of admission is $5

and includes tickets. Additional tickets are available for $2.

There will be 50/50 tickets and refreshments for sale

The Pond Hill Interscholastic Equestrian team is a group of middle school and high school kids that compete in both English and Western riding through the New England states against other middle and high

school kids.The past two years the team

has made it to the National Finals, held in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, and they plan to compete there again this year.

All proceeds from the event help to offset the cost of attend-ing the Regional and National Finals.

Join one of the Green Mountain’s best-selling local authors, Megan Price, at Hermit Hill Books at 95 Main St. in Poultney, from 2 to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 8, to celebrate the launch of her new book, “Vermont Wild, Adventures of Fish & Game Wardens,” Volume Three.

A Fair Haven native and former award-winning Rutland Herald report-er, Megan will sign and dedicate copies of all three of the Vermont Wild series for holiday shoppers’ gift-giving.

Megan’s newly released book fea-tures a true, modern-day cougar attack,

battling beavers, a footrace with a woodchuck, mon-keys with guns, and memo-ries of legendary Vermont warden, Red Hooper, and his dog, Smokey. A snowmo-bile misadventure contrib-uted by long-time western Rutland County warden, Tom Stearns, is included as well. Megan’s new book contains 22 stories from nine wardens and a whop-ping 312 pages. Each story is illustrated by talented artist and retired

warden, Bob Lutz. The Vermont Wild

series has proven a huge hit with all ages and rock-eted to the top of the best seller list at Green Mountain bookstores. Readers of all ages enjoy wardens’ true stories of their efforts to outwit angry moose, hungry bears, hard-headed hunt-ing dogs, and wily poach-ers.

Published in paperback by Pine

Marten Press, each volume sells for just $19.95 and features water resistant cov-ers and large type. The books are designed to be stuffed into a backpack and read out loud at hunting camp or savored snuggled up in front of the wood stove on a snowy day. They are great reading for youngsters who love the outdoors.

Hermit Hill Books, a used and col-lectible bookstore at 95 Main St., also sells new books by local authors, field guides, and greeting cards. Call 802-287-5757 or email [email protected] for more information.

The Poultney Elementary School sixth grade class wishes to thank the many businesses and individuals for their gener-osity and support of the basket raffle held on Nov. 10.

The event was a huge suc-cess. All monies raised are in support of the class trip to Camp Chingachgook on Lake George in the spring.

We are very grateful for the generosity of our community.

This year the month of December has five Saturdays, five Sundays and five Mondays. This is called the Money Bag and according to Chinese leg-end, the Money Bag happens once every 824 years. This is based on the philosophy of Feng Shui, which says that, if you pass this legend onto other people, then within four days money will arrive for you.

There is another Chinese legend named Chan Chu that will also bring wealth to your home. You must place a statue of a three-legged frog in your home. The frog must never face the front door but should be placed in the southeastern most part of your home. If you fol-

low this legend, you will bring wealth to your home.

Do these legends come true or are they superstitions? The decision to follow the rules of the legend is up to you. At the

Wells Village Library we have a wealth of books. We also know that reading brings knowledge, which in turn will provide you with a wealth of information, creativity and pleasure. Please stop by and see the wealth of books that await you at our small but excellent library!

Library Trivia: Vermont ranks first in the nation in the number of libraries per capita with 183 libraries.

With a theme of “Bots for Tots,” the library will once again be offering ornaments this year as a thank you for your donation of $3 or more to the Poultney Public Library. These adorable ornaments are now adorning our tree. Please stop by the library to view these precious collectibles. All

donations will go towards enhancements for our Children’s Area. Previous year’s donations have made possible our Elmo rug, the new colorful chairs, and the amaz-ing Lego table

The Poultney Public Library Book and a Movie Discussion Group is reading “In God We Trust, All Others Pay Cash” by Jean Shepherd.

My older brother Hot Rod was married to Sherry Clairmont and Shirley was her aunt. That is how I first met her.

Now, when I went to work at Williams Hardware she was com-ing in at least three times a week picking up things. You’d give her a little jazz and she’d lay it right back. We had a great rapport and had a lot of fun.

As she aged her eyes began to fail her and she came in less often.

On my noontime walks on Main Street I could tell when she was crossing the streets as horns would be sounding and brakes would be squawking. If she got it in her mind it was time to cross, off she’d go.

I’ll always remember the fun times with good ole Shirley.May God be with you Shirley Brown.

0LNH�:DOVKAs the years go on, you start to see more and more friends from

days gone by passing on. You begin to wonder about time limits and then all at once someone you thought of as invincible joins the pattern and it serves as a bit of a wake-up call.

Mike Walsh was a year behind me in school and we played a lot of ball together. He was built like a rock of solid muscle. He always played the toughest positions. He was a fullback and middle line-backer on the football team. He played above his 5’11” stature as a power forward on the B-Ball court and more often than not won the hard rebound battles. And he was one of the toughest catchers ever to put on a Slater uniform. If you collided with him at the plate, next time you were trying to slide around.

My reminder today — nobody escapes. We all must face the music. It doesn’t matter how rich, how poor, how smart, how strong.

When our time comes, we will be leaving too.God bless you, Mike Walsh.God, was he good.

What started out as a couple of downed trees in a storm has grown to be a yearly effort to brighten the holiday for under-privileged locals.

Marcel and Veronica Cyr decided to donate two felled trees seven years ago at Christmastime instead of bringing them to the dump. Word spread, and more people became interested in donating. The Cyrs have continued the tradition ever since and have worked on making it grow.

“Every year we have a lot of fun doing it, and it’s really a good thing to do,” Veronica said.

Fair Haven Concerned, Our

Neighbor’s Table in Wells and other groups are asking for donations of new and used Christmas trees, ornaments, lights and tree stands. They will distribute these holiday adorn-ments to Vermont families with children that would otherwise be without them.

Cyr said she always gets an excited response from recipient families, as children typically come streaming out of the house to see what’s in store. Organizers said donations are desperately needed, and inter-ested givers are asked to donate by Dec. 21.

In Wells, the food shelf also has a stash of books, scarves

hats and other goodies that chil-dren will be able to shop for at no cost while their parents pick out food items. Michelle Bates and others will then wrap these presents and send them home with needy families.

Fair Haven Concerned also provides Christmas presents for those who need them. They also give out food baskets for the holidays and have 100 boxes so far from donations. There will also be tags on the tree for residents to buy presents for children up to age 20. For more information contact Marcel and Veronica Cyr at 772-7965, Bates at 645-0934 or Julie at 265-3666.

Local organizations seekholiday decorations donations

Green Mountain College is pleased to announce that Helene York, director of purchasing strategy for Bon Appétit Management and director of the Bon Appétit Management Company Foundation, will be a visiting scholar for the College’s M.S. in Sustainable Food Systems (MSFS) program.

Bon Appétit Management Company provides café and catering services to corpora-tions, colleges and universities, with over 400 locations in 32 states.

“Helene and the Bon Appétit Company share many of the same goals and values as GMC,” said Philip Ackerman-Leist, MSFS program director. “She is a strong advocate for combining culinary expertise with a com-mitment to socially and envi-ronmentally responsible pur-chasing practices. Her back-ground in weaving sophisticat-ed sustainability practices into the fabric of what is arguably

the most progressive food ser-vice corporation in the country will help our students under-stand leverage points for change in the corporate sectors of our food system.”

York will attend the Northeast Organic Farming Association of Vermont (NOFA-VT) Winter Conference with GMC undergraduate and gradu-ate students February 16-17, and she will then visit the GMC campus February 18-21, the res-idency period for 41 students in the MSFS program. The four-day residency will include lec-tures, discussions, informal conversations and at least one public presentation.

York earned an undergradu-ate degree at Harvard and a master’s degree at Yale. As director of purchasing strategy at Bon Appétit, she is responsi-ble for identifying new prod-ucts, managing supply chains, and performing supplier rela-tions for the company’s Farm to

Fork program. As director of the Bon Appétit Management Company Foundation, she edu-cates chefs and consumers about how food choices affect the global environment. In April 2007, she launched the company’s successful Low Carbon Diet program to raise awareness of connections between the food system and climate change, and to reduce emissions associated with Bon Appétit’s food service opera-tions. She was instrumental in shifting corporate purchasing away from threatened fish spe-cies toward sustainably sourced supplies. She was a founding board member of FishChoice.com and is currently a director of Humane Farm Animal Care. Since 2009 York has been a regu-lar contributor to the Atlantic Monthly online.

York recently led Bon Appétit’s commitment to ensure that all the company’s pork will be sourced from farms that don’t use gestation stalls (dense-ly packed metal cages that imprison sows in spaces so tight

GMC announces Bon Appetit’s Helene York as Visiting Scholar for graduate program

they can’t turn around) by 2015. “Good animal welfare isn’t

just about the animals,” York wrote in a recent column that appeared in Civil Eats. “It’s about starting to dismantle a system that has enormous costs for our society, including the loss of medically important antibiotics, the pollution of our air and water from animal

waste, and horrible working conditions in factory farms.”

Green Mountain College recently announced its inten-tion to become the first higher education institution in the U.S. contracted with a major dining services provider to purchase all animal products from humanely managed sources.

Last MinuteHolidayGift Guide

A December visit to Hildene is a longstanding local tradi-tion, one that provides a unique opportunity to experi-ence the look and feel of presi-dential son Robert Lincoln and wife Mary’s home during the holidays. This year is no exception. 2012 marks the 100th anniversary of the fami-ly’s 1912 Christmas at their Vermont getaway and the home is looking as it should as Robert and Mary prepare for the holiday.

The mansion’s windows are candlelit and there’s a fresh

scent of balsam amidst floral flourishes and satin ribbon. The tree has been cut and brought in from the woods. Its graceful boughs are hung with lovely period appropriate orna-ments and candles. The grand-children have hung their stock-ings from the parlor mantle, the sweet smell of apples and cinnamon wafts from the coun-try kitchen, and in the ser-vant’s dining room a bowl of unstrung popcorn and cranber-ries speaks to the shared antic-ipation of all in the house. Festive holiday tunes from

Robert Lincoln’s collection of Aeolian pipe organ music fills the house. Lights, sights, sounds, and scents of the sea-son abound at Hildene from December 1 through the 31st.

Whether guests choose to visit the Lincoln family’s home decorated for the holidays or to browse in The Museum Store located in the historic carriage barn, now the Welcome Center, Hildene remains the place to be during the holiday season. Admission fee is not required for visitors to the Welcome Center and The Museum Store.

From 9:30 to 4:30 daily, visi-tors can tour the home with docents and staff on hand to answer questions. On week-ends local musicians bring the organ or Mary Harlan

Lincoln’s Steinway to life with their talents. Guided tours are offered with a prior reserva-tion. Guests can also visit the Rowland Agricultural Center at Hildene Farm or see the Pullman palace car, Sunbeam, weather permitting. Admission is $16.00 for adults and $5 for children 6 to 14. Members, volunteers and chil-dren under 6 are free. Closed December 24 and 25. For more information on the holidays at Hildene visit www.hildene.org.

This Holiday Season, come and relax at the




He’s lived here, he’s grown up here and he owns a business here. He’s the kind of person people look up to.”

Michelle Hunter, branch manager of the Poultney Citizens Bank, was one of two people who nominated Roberts for this year’s award, and said his actions last November gave she and her staff “peace of mind.”

“Jeff ’s concern for his com-munity, as well as his willing-ness to step forward, speak up, and do the right thing in a situ-ation where many others might be tempted to keep to them-selves, helped ensure that not only the employees of the bank, but the members of the entire

community could rest easy knowing these dangerous crim-inals had been apprehended.”

Roberts, who has run People’s Choice Barbershop on Maple Street in Poultney since 1975, is a well known and gre-garious member of the commu-nity.

“He’s a very nice young man and a very pleasant fellow,” said Mary Mazur, a fellow Poultney resident who also nominated Roberts.

“He’s always pleasant, always friendly, and always has a smile on his face,” Hunter said.

Broughton said Roberts is the type of guy when people hear his name, “their face lights up.”

On Nov. 2 of last year, Roberts was in between appointments when he saw a black 2000 Ford Taurus with New Jersey license

plates pull into the Stewart’s Shop across the street.

When Jill Ludwig emerged from the car wearing a hooded sweatshirt on what was a balmy day for that time year, Roberts felt something wasn’t right.

When Ludgwig returned sev-eral minutes with a bag billow-ing purple smoke, his suspi-cions were verified.

Roberts wrote down Ludwig’s license plate number and when police came knocking on his door a short time later, he gave them the break they were look-ing for.

Less than an hour later, Ludwig and her accomplice, John Maynard, were appre-hended in Castleton.

The duo was linked to a total of five bank robberies that occurred between Sept. and Nov., including TD Bank in Granville twice in a span of two

weeks. Both have pleaded guilty to

the Poultney robbery and are scheduled to be sentenced this month.

Remarkably, Barber’s astute observations on that day were not the first time he played a role in the apprehension of a bank robber.

In 2008, someone parked in the same spot as Ludwig and Maynard, and held up Citizens Bank. He too was caught thanks to the observations of Roberts.

In an interview conducted with the Granville Sentinel last November, Roberts brushed off suggestions he was a hero, but those who nominated him see it differently.

“Twice he saved the bank when it was robbed. I don’t think people would have thought about it,” said Mazur.

“We are thrilled the Chamber

chose him and are very grateful for what he did,” Hunter said. “He may not don a cape, but he definitely is a hero to us, and the Poultney community is cer-tainly a better place for having him as a member.”
