GMUSD Budget Process: Last year, after a series of meetings – mostly short, one-hour affairs just before full board meetings – the Green Mountain Unified School District’s (GMUSD) Finance committee members were unable to endorse a spending plan by January, when the district’s annual report was due to be printed. Last year’s lack luster budget was rejected by the voters in March but was passed, with no real fiscal changes May 22. There was a lot of discussion around “visioning,” but little happened. The January deadline is coming up as a budget is required  for printing in time for town meeting day. The Chester Telegraph has outlined highlights of the spending plan being proposed to date and it is important that voters familiarize themselves about what’s being asked for. In the mean time, the GMUSD Finance Committee is interested in having more community members. Scheduled meetings are as follows:

Nov. 29 at GMUHS, 5:30 pm

Dec 13 at CTES

Dec. 20 (Thursday): GMUSD Board Meeting, 6 pm at GMUHS.

GMUSD Board Meeting-CAES Reopening Uncertain: Although repairs at Chester-Andover Elementary School appear to be making slow progress again, during their recent Nov. 15 board meeting, the GMUSD board and TRSU administrators were unwilling to speculate when students and faculty might return to their school. Instead, they spent much of the discussion unraveling missteps in the process. VT Journal

Remembering Joe Allen, Owner of the Cavendish General Store: Joe Allen gained international fame with his sign “No directions to the Solzhenitsyn’s home.” All the signs he put up on the store kept on being taken so he finally made a wooden one that he nailed to the building underneath, “No Restrooms No Bare feet.” He retired in 1996 and settled in Chester. He died on Sunday, Nov. 11 after a lengthy illness. A celebration of life will be held Sunday, November 18, 2018 at 2:00 PM in the Davis Memorial Chapel, 99 Summer Street, Springfield, VT In lieu of flowers, memorial donations may be made to the Chester-Andover Family Center, 908 VT Route 103, Chester, VT 05143.

Ludlow Rotary Grant Awarded: In October, the Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) was awarded a successful Rotary District 7870 Grant in the amount of $2000. This grant was charting new territory as rather than one recipient, the funds were given to five area community organizations. The Town of Cavendish received one of the grants to landscape the plot of land next to the school. Those receiving grants will be required to match the Rotary funds.

103 Paving on Hold Until Spring: An abundance of wet weather this summer means the Route 103 paving project won’t be done until spring. Natalie Boyle, project outreach coordinator with EIV Technical Services, a firm that does public outreach for the Vermont Department of Transportation (VTrans), said last week that the paving project on Route 103 between Rockingham and Clarendon has entered a “winter shutdown” phase and will resume in the spring. The project was originally slated to be complete before winter. “It’s complete up through Chester,” she said, adding that the 42-mile project only needs another 14 miles of work, however air and road temperatures have finally dipped below the level required for paving. “If it’s raining, they can’t pave, if it’s wet they can’t pave,” she said. It rained many days this summer and fall, Boyle said. Furthermore, the days in between rains were cloudy and overcast so the roads wouldn’t dry out. To prepare the road for winter, Boyle said, some additional work will be done in the coming weeks. This will allow people to use the road normally, access driveways and let road crews plow it and drop sand and salt. Rutland Herald

 Car/Truck Collision on 131 Near Downers: A dump truck and car hit head-on in Weathersfield Monday morning. Police say the driver of a dump truck, which was hauling sand, crossed over the centerline on a turn while traveling west. The driver of the car, heading in the opposite direction, was unable to avoid the truck. The collision sent both vehicles off the road. Both needed to be towed from the scene. A hazmat cleanup was required. This road section in Amsden is particularly hazardous and caution should be used when driving there. WCAX

VT Fish and Wildlife Release New Survey App: While hunters are picking up their rifles, members of the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department want them to pick up their phones too. A new app records things like how many hours someone hunted and how many deer or other wildlife they saw on each day of the November rifle season. Crews say this will help them evaluate how conditions vary in different parts of the state. It's free and can be used without cell service. For more information on the app, click here.

Springfield Hospital Board of Directors Hears Complaints from Community Members: About 25 people, including doctors, nurses, patients, technicians, and others, crowded into a small conference room here at Springfield Hospital Tuesday evening to tell the hospital’s board of directors about the upsetting changes they are experiencing. Those present told anecdotes of bills unpaid, nurses leaving, staffing issues and plans to quit their jobs because of a new emergency care vendor. The current provider of emergency department services, Emergency Services of New England, based in Chester, is being replaced with Bluewater Emergency Partners, based in Brunswick, Maine, according to Corky Bond, his wife. The change is scheduled to happen next April, and will involve a reduction of service hours, she said. “Something is seriously wrong,” said Ted, a retired physician who claimed that 55 people signed a letter of no confidence in the hospital administration. “There are serious financial problems.” “We are hemorrhaging nurses,” said Linda, a nurse. Nurses are leaving for better work situations and more money, she explained. Also, new nurses are assigned up to six patients at once and “it is too much for them to handle.” Many speakers were unsure who to blame for their grievances. Some blamed the board, others the hospital administration. Nearly all, however, expressed their support for Springfield Hospital and called for greater transparency, urging the board to dig into the complaints and discover what the underlying problems actually were.

 Residential Electric Customers to See Drop in Energy Efficiency Charges: Most residential electric customers around Vermont will see a 3 percent decrease next year in a fee that’s used to fund energy efficiency services statewide. The money goes to Efficiency Vermont, which uses it in energy savings programs. The charge is based on how much electricity a customer uses. The decision made by the Public Utility Commission on Nov. 6 applies to all utility customers except for those of Vermont Gas and the Burlington Electric Department, whose efficiency charges are calculated differently. The PUC's decision also kept rates flat for business and commercial customers despite the state’s calculation that those rates should rise substantially instead. VPR

2. UPDATES FROM THE CAVENDISH HISTORICAL SOCIETY: The fall newsletter of the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) is now available on-line. In keeping with the 100th anniversary of Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn’s birth, this edition contains excepts from his newly released book Between Two Millstone: Sketches of Exile 1974-1978 Book 1. Published on October 30 in English, it covers the first two years of Solzhenitsyn’s life in Cavendish and provides answers to questions about why he came here and how he spent his time. Copies of the book are available from Amazon.

On December 2 (Sunday) at 4 pm, CHS will be hosting a celebration of Solzhenitsyn’s 100th birthday (Dec. 11, 1918), which will include the showing the video of Solzhenitsyn’s farewell address to Cavendish in 1994. Following the screening there will be a discussion and a potluck supper. CHS will be providing the ice cream and cake. This event will take place at the Cavendish Baptist Church, 2258 Main St. The snow date is December 9 (Sunday), same time and place.

1. CAVENDISH ELECTION RESULTS: Of 1,129 registered Cavendish voters, 584 (52%) cast ballots in the mid term election. This is significantly higher than normal for a mid term election but slightly lower than the state’s 55-58% voter turnout. One hundred and three absentee ballots were sent out, with 86 (85%) being returned. This represented a five-fold increase over previous years. In addition, the change in voter registration laws resulted in nine voters registering and voting on Election Day.

Cavendish followed statewide trends selecting state winners in all races with the exception of state senate. While Cavendish voted for Alice Nitka and Alison Clarkson, they picked Randy Gray over Dick McCormick, who ultimately won the third seat.

In spite of an aggressive campaign to write in Michael Kell for State Representative, he ultimately lost to incumbent Annemarie Christensten. The combined total of Weathersfield and Cavendish was 1,203 votes for Christensten and 265 write-ins, the majority of which were for Kell.

The one write-in candidate that was successful was Stu Lindberg for Justice of the Peace. For full Cavendish election coverage go to The Dish.

CAES School Restoration Hits an Unexpected Snag: According to Naomi Johnson, president of the Dufresne engineering group and the project’s chief engineer, one of three electrical conductors proved to be defective.  “The electrical service has issues with the insulation in the wiring,” Johnson told the Green Mountain Unified School District board at a special meeting Monday night, which was held at the Two Rivers Supervisory Union main office in Ludlow. The discovery has forced unexpected changes in plans. In order to keep costs down, plans had been to use two conduits, one for communications and one for electrical service. The board decided to spend about $20,000 for M&M Excavating of Chester to put in four conduits (two electrical, two communications), even though insurance may not pay for all of it. “We may have to use transition funds,” said Meg Powden, the Two Rivers superintendent. It does not appear that students will be returning to school before Thanksgiving as had been hoped.

Ludlow Rotary Awards George Thomson 2018 Community Service Award: The Ludlow Rotary Club (LRC) took great pride last month when a special award was presented to Ludlow resident and long time Cavendish Town Elementary School principal George Thomson. Every year the Ludlow Rotary Club presents this award to a local person or organization that has done great things for our communities. Having been in education for over 40 years George was principal of the Cavendish Town Elementary School for 29 years when he retired this past June. Always active in his community and beyond- George has been on many local non-profits boards as well holding an office including: Mountainside House, LPC-TV now Okemo Valley TV, Fletcher Farm Foundation, the Chester Music Series, The United Church of Ludlow, FOLA and was an active member of the Rutland Cornerstone Barbershop singers.  He and his wife Linda have helped raise money for the Malayaka House Orphanage in Africa and spent a bit of time volunteering there last summer. George is a humble, caring person, always willing to help anyone in need, never seeks recognition and was truly dedicated to the kids and staff at the Proctorsville School for so many years. Many of his former colleagues attended the mixer to share in the surprise award.

Misty Valley Books Shut After Staff Apparently Quits: While the Chester bookstore will be open at least through the weekend, whether it will reopen permanently is not known as the current owners hope to sell the business to a local buyer. More than six weeks ago, Misty Valley bookseller and Andover resident Amanda Bourque began negotiations to purchase the bookstore while leasing the building from Phoenix Books, which itself purchased the store and buildings 2 1/2 years ago. However, negotiations came to a halt late last week and, on Monday, Bourque, who had worked at Misty Valley for 15 years, left her employment with Phoenix Books.  By Wednesday, apparently so had the three other Misty Valley employees, leaving the business dark.

3. ARMISTICE DAY 100TH ANNIVERSARY Armistice Day is commemorated every year on November 11th to mark the armistice signed between the Allies of World War I and Germany at Compiègne, France, for the cessation of hostilities on the Western Front, which took effect at eleven o'clock in the morning—the "eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.

Cavendish had 57 men and one woman serve in WWI. A few families had two members of their family serving but the Pollards had four sons and one daughter, Mary, who was a dietician in an Army Hospital on Ellis Island. Of those serving, four died: George Dixon, Winthrop Hoyle, Truman McNulty and Francis Wallace. Hoyle was only 16 and died of nephritis in Rhode Island.

2018 Cavendish Election Results

For a mid term election, Cavendish set records with its turnout (584 voters) as well as the high number of absentee ballots filed-103 were requested with 86 returned. Since the mail for Nov. 6 had not been checked at the writing of this post, it is possible that additional absentee ballots were received, thereby slightly changing counts. However, there would be insufficient votes to change final outcomes.

 With about half of registered Cavendish voters voting, 25 people registered to vote between Oct. 5 and Nov. 6, with an additional nine registering and voting on Nov. 6.
