1. DIA DE LOS MUERTOS (DAY OF THE DEAD) CELEBRATION: A. two day holiday, most associated with Mexican communities, Dia de los Muertos is a time to reunite the living and the dead. Families and communities create “ofrendas” (altar) to honor those that have passed and to encourage their return at this time of year. Far from a dark and somber occasion, it is a celebration filled with good food, laughter, memories and fun.

On November 2 (Saturday), the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) will be hosting a Dia de los Muertos celebration at the Cavendish Library, 573 Main St. Proctorsville.  From 3:30-5:30 there will be a workshop to create items for the community ofrenda including: papel picado (paper cuts); paper flowers; tin ornaments; mask making; vase/candle holders; “sugar skulls” and more. A pot luck supper will take place immediately following the workshops from 5:30-7 pm.

This event is free and open to the public. Donations welcomed and appreciated. FMI: margocaulfield@icloud.com or 802-226-7807.

2. COMMUNITREE PROJECT TAKES ROOT AT CTES: On Monday, October 21st there’ll be a lot more activity on our school grounds than there would be usually. There’s been a small, quiet community project in the works for months, and it will be taking root early next week.

Two Cavendish Fletcher Community Library board members planted the seed after a micro burst took out the two trees in the school yard last Fall. The project branched out from there as the Library Board, CTES and GMUSD administrators, the Cavendish Town Office Crew, the Cavendish Streetscapes Committee and local landscape architect, Tim Calabrese, climbed on board. 

On Monday, eight trees and a lilac bush will be planted across the front of the school yard by Skyline Nursery & Garden Center in Springfield, VT. All the fore mentioned organizations have been tapped to help fund this tremendous community project.

The crown of the project is that each of the trees will be planted in honor or in memory of a Cavendish community member who was/ has been dedicated to improving our Cavendish community in the past through their hard work and volunteerism. Details on that part of the project will be logged in down the road.

• Podcast about William Cavendish Taped in Cavendish: In order to gain the support of wealthy patrons, when dividing up Vermont land into townships, Governor Wentworth would name them after important people of the day. One such person was William Cavendish. He never wanted to be Prime Minister, but in 1756, Britain was in crisis:  France was winning the Seven Years' War, the Newcastle government had collapsed, and George II was in a panic. He needed someone to hold the country steady until a more permanent government could be formed. That man was William Cavendish, 4th Duke of Devonshire. Click here for the podcast about Cavendish, that was recently taped at the Cavendish Pointe.

• Singleton’s Closing to Replace the Floor: The Singleton Family posted the following: We are thankful for our floors that have served us for three generations, but it is time for an update. We will be closing October 28, 29, 30th & November 4, 5 & 6th. We will be replacing the floor in increments allowing us to re open for the weekends. Thank you for understanding! We can't wait for you to see them.

• Report says Vermont is spending at least $400M more than needed on education, but it’s not that simple: To actually implement the report’s model, the education system in Vermont would need to look very different, with fewer teachers and larger schools. Among all states, Vermont is one of the top spenders, spending the fifth most per student on education in fiscal year 2022, according to national data. If the report’s model, grounded in academic literature on education best practices, is followed, its authors said “student achievement in Vermont would substantially improve and the cost of education could be reduced.” The idiosyncrasies of the state’s education system — namely small schools — would likely prevent Vermont from quickly implementing the report’s model. VT Digger

1.    Malcolm Macmillan (MAC), author of “An Odd Kind of Fame” dies at 95

2.    CHS Plant Workshop: The Invasives

3.    Cavendish Related News

4.    Events Calendar

1. MALCOLM MACMILLAN (MAC) DIES AT 95: Mac, the author of “An Odd Kind of Fame,” has been one of the leading scholars on Phineas Gage. He was also the reason Cavendish marked the 150th anniversary of the Gage accident with a town celebration that brought in people from all over the world .

According to Stacia Spaulding, one of the organizers of this event I need to give credit where credit is due. There would not have been a 150th Anniversary Phineas Gage Celebration in 1998 if not for Mac. He sent an e-mail in 1996 and mentioned that the anniversary was approaching and suggested that Cavendish might do something to commemorate the occasion.

Mac is the one who came up with idea for the bronze plaque that now sits on the Town Green in Cavendish. He worked tirelessly with the designer, Dr. Ross Bastiaan (a periodontist and designer of more than 200 plaques) in Australia, for many many months and raised all of the funds to cover its cost. In fact, the plaque was cast by the Arrow Foundry in Australia. 

Mac presented a lecture entitled "Restoring Phineas Gage: A 150th Retrospective" in the Stone Church on Sunday morning of the anniversary weekend, as well as gave a short speech at the plaque's unveiling a short time later.

We exchanged dozens and dozens (maybe hundreds) of e-mails during those many months leading up to the 150th Anniversary. And we exchanged Christmas cards more years than not since then. Mac remained passionate about Gage right up until his death at age 95.

2. CHS PLANT WORKSHOP: THE INVASIVES: When Japanese knotweed is mentioned, people often cringe and tell tales of how it’s taken over parts of their yard and is impossible to kill. However, it’s long been part of traditional medicine in Asia for centuries as a treatment for such ailments as inflammation, infections, skin burns and most recently Lyme Disease.  

While knotweed was brought to the Americas in the 1800s as an ornamental plant, other plants that had medicinal properties were brought to the Americas by the colonists. In addition, the “seed trade” was big business, with middle and upper class landowner buying plants from around the world to study in their backyards.

On October 26 (Saturday), the Cavendish Historical Society (CHS) will host their third workshop on plants, this time focusing on the invasives. This talk will feature garlic mustard, plantain, barberry, eucalyptus, ragweed and other plants that were introduced or traveled with settlers. We’ll be exploring plants that can do damage to existing ecosystems yet also offer medicine.

The workshop will take place at the Cavendish Town Library, 573 Main St. Proctorsville starting at 2 pm. Dr. Charis Boke, a member of the Dartmouth College faculty in anthropology,  will once again be speaking. Boke is currently writing "Poison, Power, and Possibility: Building Relations with Medicinal" which will explore the poetics, politics, and practices of contemporary herbalists in North America, leaning on ethnographic research, botanical histories, and lived experience to examine what it takes to remedy what ails us. Dr. Boke was involved in helping with the Benjamin Rush Medicinal Garden at the Mutter Museum in Philadelphia.

• Restructuring Plan for Two Rivers Supervisory Union: On Oct 7, the TRSU Superintendent issued a restructuring plan for TRSU, which includes the Green Mountain Unified School District (GMUSD) as well as the Ludlow Mt Holly District. Included among the recommendations for Cavendish Town Elementary School (CTES) are: supporting or maintaining enrollment-the school currently has 61 full time students; establishing a preschool at CTES, which could potentially serve all of the towns in the GMUSD; and all students from Baltimore and those in Andover living closest to Cavendish would attend CTES. Also recommended in the restructuring plan is to merge the two districts so there is just the TRSU and consolidating the four Pre K-6thelementary schools into one modern, centralized school. The plan did not mention Green Mountain Union High School. An open forum was held on Oct. 8th so the community could voice their opinion about the proposed plan. The restructuring plan can be read by clicking here.

• Springfield Hospital financial health improves as it seek path to future service: Despite a forecast to the contrary outlined in a recent healthcare consultant’s report, Springfield Hospital is proud to report that, year to date, we have a $2.4 million improvement over fiscal year 2023. Springfield Hospital CEO Robert S.Adcock has written a letter to the community about the future of the hospital. We want to communicate to our employees, medical staff, and the communities we serve that the recommendations are just that — recommendations, options to consider. We do not believe the recommendations are reflective of the wants and needs of the communities we serve — nor do they accomplish the goal of equitable and affordable access to care.
