Black Mag Trial Extended Into Its Fourth Week
By Marie P. Hughes
Jurors were told by the court
to plan on hearing the Black
Mag case continue through Oct.
23, even though originally the
trial was scheduled for ending
this week.
In fact, on two of the days of
the trial, the hearings continued without the jury being present since there were matters
needing to be discussed which
the judge would deem either
necessary or not for the jurors
to hear.
The judge hearing the case
is Superior Court Judge Peter
Bornstein; the lawyers for the
prosecution are County Attorney John McCormick and Assistant County Attorney Stephen
Murray; and the lawyer for the
defendant, Craig Sanborn is Attorney Mark Sisti from Concord.
The prosecution has been calling witnesses to the stand for
As first reported in the Coleborok Chronicle on Oct. 4, the
Gropaco Federal Credit Union

This week Gropaco released
the following official announcement:
“At a special meeting of the

12, 2013, the Board of Directors
and members voted ‘yes’ to the
question of voluntary liquidation of Gropaco Federal Credit
Union.
“During the special meeting, Manager Diana Brann explained that this decision was
not taken lightly. In a prepared
statement, Diana outlined the

Orange House On Lost Nation Road
Stands In Protest To Northern Pass
By Marie Hughes
For those travelling Lost Nation Road from Groveton, about
two miles up on the right, an orange home with large black letters catches them by surprise.
The creative protest is the
work of Allen Holmes and his
wife, Linda. When asked why
he painted the house orange,
Allen’s reply was, “It was time
to paint it.” He had accumu-
lated various cans of orange
paint, and being frugal, plus being against the proposed Northern Pass project, Allen decided
orange was the color since, in
the beginning, the protest signs
were orange, and protesters
against Hydro Quebec wear orange to the meetings.
Not content with just an orange house as protest, Allen
also cut out huge plywood let-
ters, painted them black, and
on the front of his house are the
words, “Stop Northern Pass.”
Now that action in itself is unusual in its own right, but the
house has an even more interesting history.
Allen and Linda originally
lived in Jefferson, right near
the Waumbek Hotel. His grandfather, John Holmes, signed

the past three weeks, and the
defense has yet to call its witnesses.
Craig Sanborn was the owner of the Black Mag in Colebrook plant which exploded on
May 14, 2010, killing two workers, Jesse Kennett and Donald
Kendall, and also injured plant
manager, David Oldham. Sanborn was at a convention in
Florida at the time of the explosion, but the state of New
Hampshire has filed a suit
against Sanborn for negligent
homicide and manslaughter.
In the prosecution’s case, Attorney McCormick has had several expert witnesses testifying
on the conditions at the plant
which were alleged to be unsafe according to workers and
inspectors. The prosecution also
had witnesses on the stand who
worked at the facility, and on
Oct. 15 and 16, David Oldham
was the main witness. The lawyers established that Oldham
was in charge when Sanborn
was away, but he was also the
manager when Sanborn or one
of Sanborn’s family members
were present.
On May 14, Oldham said,
“Jesse and Donald were inside
the plant, and I was in the office.” The prosecution asked
if he could see the men from
where he was, and he said he
could not. When asked where
the men had to stand when operating the CAD Mac machine,
McCormick was told the men
had to stand right next to the
machines because they had to
put the material into the machine.
The prosecution also established that Oldham was brought
in to take care of the machines,
and to repair them, to which
Oldham agreed, but said, “We
had no manuals instructing us
on the machines or how to fix
them.” Oldham told the court
Sanborn left three days before
the first order was due, and in
the first run of the powder, it
did not look good and “was not
up to quality” so he spoke to
Sanborn who told him, “I leave
it in your capable hands.”
One of the other questions
Attorney McCormick kept asking concerned the presence of
any other member of the Sanborn family the day of the explosion. He asked, “Was it unusual that Laurie Sanborn was
not at the plant on Friday?”
To which, Oldham responded,
“No.” In continuing along that
vein, McCormick asked about
family presence several times,
and each time Oldham assured
him that it was not unusual for
someone in the family to not be
there.
Attorney Sisti asked Oldham if Sanborn had any intentions of closing the plant, and
Oldham said not to his knowledge because they had twelve
people lined up for interviews.
Although Oldham was excused
as a witness, he was told he was
still under oath, and could not
discuss the case with anyone
because he would be called back
to testify.
The next witness was Benoit
Lamontagne from the Dept. of
Resources and Economic Development for New Hampshire
who was questioned by Attorney Stephen Murray. Lamontagne told Murray he was one of
the people responsible for bringing new businesses to the state
and had toured Black Mag.Murray asked Lamontagne about a
CDBG grant application that
had been approved, and asked
about his role in the process.
Lamontagne said, “We find out
what a business needs, and then
bring the resources to the table.
We do not get involved in the
details of the grants or loans.”
When asked what the amount
of the grant was and if it were
free money, Lamontagne said
he did not know the amount,
but most grants run between
$200,000 to $300,000. However,
the state does not give this as
free money, but as a loan. When
Attorney Sisti had a chance to
ask about how much money
Sanborn received, Lamontagne
said, “These loans usually take
up to six months to allocate the
money since it also has to have
the approval of the Governor
and Council.” Sisti then established Craig Sanborn did not
“take a penny from the loan”
because the explosion took place
before the final approval.
After Lamontagne’s testimony, the prosecution called Warren (Roy) Parker to the stand
as an expert witness who had
worked for ATF, served in the
army as a munitions expert and
taught bomb disposal courses.
Parker is now a private consultant and has his own business.
He said according to his review
of the case, “There was a failure to follow safe practices.” He
then went on to explain several
OSHA requirements about machine placement and safety precautions.
The trial will continue
through today at noon, and will
be back in session on Monday at
9 a.m.
Orange House
Jefferson’s original charter, so
his roots have always been in
the North Country, but not in
Groveton. However, for 30 years
Allen was employed at the
Groveton mill and rode some
of those years with a neighbor
from Jefferson. One day, Allen
said, “I asked the man what he
would do differently if he could.
Although he didn’t answer me
right away, he finally said, ‘I
would not spend a dollar on the
road travelling each day.’ It got
me thinking, and I decided to
move closer to work.”
Therefore, in 1986–87, Allen built his home in Groveton
where it now stands—but that
is only part of the story. First
he purchased 71 acres of land,
and later added 25 acres, making his total 96 acres. However, in 1981, former Governor
Hugh Gregg sold the Waumbek
Hotel, which had been one of
the grand old hotels in its heyday, but had since fallen into
disrepair as fewer guests were
staying there, and the only viable income was from the golf
course. Also, the music and art
festivals held there were facing
hard times; fewer people were
attending the summer festivals,
so “the writing was on the wall,”
and the Greggs were spending
more time down state as well.
Allen decided to purchase
the hotel from Governor Gregg,
whom he knew because Allen
was a fireman in Jefferson and
lived nearby. The old hotel was
completely recycled according
to Allen, as other people bought
doors, windows, wood, and anything salvageable.
In the end, Allen said, “After everything was sold, all that
was left filled only two truck
beds of waste.” All the wood
with which Allen’s home is built
came from the Waumbek, allowing part of Jefferson’s history
to reside within the walls of the
Holmes’ house.
Since Allen and Linda spent
two years building their energy
efficient home, where they use
a windmill to generate power,
they are opposed to Northern
Pass for many reasons, but the
biggest is the 135-foot towers
will abut their property destroying the tranquility they have
experienced since living there.
One of the other reasons Allen
is opposed to project is, “Northern Pass is not good for my
town, and it will disrupt the tax
base.” Allen said he had spoken
to a couple of realtors about selling his property, even though he
has no intentions to do so, and
according to him, “They told me
my property won’t even get half
of what it’s worth if I were to
sell it now.” Allen and Linda are
used to seeing people stop and
comment about the house, and
said that one of their neighbors
told them Councilor Ray Burton
was a visitor one day. However,
Allen and Linda were not at
home and missed his visit.
In the end, Allen said, “I
don’t want New Hampshire to
be owned by Hydro-Quebec, and
my views about how I feel are
very clear.” He did ask, though,
as he glanced back at the large
letters he affixed to his house,
“Do you think I should outline
the letters in white to make
them stand out more?”

ommendation to voluntarily liquidate.
“Chairman of the Board
Nancy Marshall explained that,
‘since the closing of the Wausau
paper mill in 2007, the credit
union has experienced a gradual but steady decline in the
number of members, loans and
income. After several attempts
to find a different solution via
merger or other plan, we agreed
to go to the membership with
our recommendation to liquidate.’ Marshall stated that the
Board of Directors of the credit
union spent ‘countless’ hours
going over the credit union’s financials and business prospects
before arriving at the decision
to liquidate.
“Repeatedly throughout the
Oct. 12 meeting it was stressed
that the deposits and shares of
all members are insured by the
NCUA and that insurance will
remain in place on an ongoing
basis while the credit union liquidation process is conducted.
“Chairman Marshall went
on to say, ‘We are glad to have
a decision, but of course, have
very mixed feelings about saying goodbye to a program that
has been so good to so many of
us. Nevertheless, it is the right
thing to do to give back to the
members–who are the owners of
the credit union after all–their
shares and any liquidating dividend that might be available
once the affairs of the credit
union have been settled.’
“Gropaco Federal Credit
Union was founded in 1953 to
serve the employees of the paper mills. As part of the liquidation, the building at 13 Main
Street, Groveton where the
credit union is housed, will be
sold, along with all other assets. While it is not possible
to say how long the liquidation
will take, the leadership of the
credit union hopes that all such
transactions will be finalized
within six months. Diana Brann

The concert is scheduled to
begin at 7 p.m., but the Coffee
House will be open beginning at
6 p.m. with food and beverages
that can be purchased prepared
by the Moose Muck staff. The
popular duo first performed at
the Moose Muck two years ago,
when they received a warm reception from local music fans.
Tickets for the Colebrook
concert are $15 each and will
be available at the door on the
night of the show. “This will be
a memorable evening of music
in a very relaxed setting here
in the North Country,” said
Charlie Jordan, President of the
Great North Woods Committee
for the Arts.
Alan Reid has assured himself a place among the legends
of Celtic music, having been
a member of Battlefield Band
from its inception in 1969 until
his departure in 2010. In that
time, he toured all over the
world and made almost 30 recordings with the band, working
with such artists as Garrison
Keillor, Van Morrison and Mike
Oldfield. The Battlefield Band
won awards in Germany, Britain and the U.S. and throughout Alan was at the heart of the
band, his key-boards underpinning the bag-pipes and the fiddle.
His first solo album, “The
Sunlit Eye,” featuring original
songs and tunes, was released in
1998 and was followed up with
a song and tune book “Martyrs,
Rogues and Worthies” in 2001.
Since then he has recorded two
albums in his partnership with
Rob van Sante, both of which
showcase many of his works.
In 2009, he was nominated at
the Scottish Tradition Awards
in the com-poser of the year
category and in 2011 “Recollection” was re-leased, an album
of his own choice of songs from
his long career with Battlefield
Band. Alan, along with Rob, is
currently putting the finishing
touches to an album on the life
of John Paul Jones, a project for
which he has composed all the
music.
Rob van Sante is a guitarist of exceptional skill and
subtlety. He was born in the
Netherlands and begun playing guitar at an early age. As
his interest in music developed,
he became influenced by the
best of Folk, Rock, R&B and
Blues. During the 1970s-90s he
toured extensively throughout
Europe, North Africa and the
Middle East. Rob has appeared
on many albums displaying his
virtuoso vocal ability both as a
lead and harmony singer, also
showcasing his undoubted instrumental skills to the project
in question. All these strands
come together to make a perfect
foil to Alan and his music.

The Grafton County Economic Development Council, which
is receiving $145,000, will use
the funding to complete construction of its Enterprise Center at Plymouth, being developed in conjunction with Plymouth State University. The total
cost of the project is $290,000.
“These two awards will be of
great benefit, not only to Upper
Connecticut Valley Hospital and
the Grafton County Economic
Development Council, but to
the many communities they
serve,” said Gov. Maggie Hassan in announcing the grants.
“These grants will help improve
and modernize health care for
the North Country and encourage new business development,
helping to preserve and create
jobs in our rural communities.”
Patients at UCVH faced traveling great distances for treatment if the cardiac monitoring
system went off-line and would
have cost jobs at the hospital,
which also serves communities
in neighboring Vermont and
Maine.

approved in the 2008 Farm Bill,
with a mission to address the
economic and community development needs in communities

Police, Fire, EMS Reports
N.H. FISH AND GAME
At approximately 9 p.m. on
Thursday, Oct. 10, Conservation Officers were notified of a
man who had gone bird hunting
in Pittsburg and not returned
home.
Leonard Schrock, 63, of Pittsburg had left a note for his wife,
Gail, on Thursday afternoon,
stating that he had gone hunting in the Hall Stream area. He
usually returns home by about
6:30, which prompted Gail to
contact authorities for assistance.
Conservation Officers coordinated an initial search of local logging roads in an effort
to locate Schrock or his vehicle,
with much appreciated assistance from U.S. Border Patrol
Agents and N.H. State Police.
During this phase of the search,
word was relayed to searchers
that Mr. Schrock had returned
home.
Schrock explained that his
vehicle, a 1993 Ford Bronco,
had broken down after his hunt
in the upper reaches of Hall
Stream, and he had walked for
over four hours along the logging roads to get home.
The only vehicles he saw during his dark walk were a Border
Patrol Agent and a Conservation Officer heading in Moose
Pond Road to look for him, however, he had taken a small trail
behind his property as a final
shortcut home when he saw the
headlights and heard the vehicles through the trees.
“Mr. Schrock is in great
physical shape, and is an avid
outdoorsman. These attributes
certainly helped him through
the situation he was facing,” CO
Chris Egan said.
N.H. Fish and Game reminds
hunters, fishermen, hikers and
other outdoor enthusiasts to
wear appropriate clothing, to
carry at least a source of fire
and light, and most importantly, to tell someone where you
plan to go and when you plan to
return.
“Leaving the note gave us a
place to begin looking. Without
such a valuable hint, it would
have been more like a looking for a needle in a haystack,”
Egan said.
At approximately 4:15 p.m.
on Saturday, Oct. 12, a call was
placed to 911 reporting an injured hiker on the “Falls in the
River Trail” in Pittsburg. Volun-
teer members of Pittsburg Fire
and Rescue responded to the
scene, along with 45th Parallel
EMS and a Fish and Game Conservation Officer.
Liberty Dragon, 53, of Warner, was injured when she
slipped on a rock along a portion of the Cohos Trail system,
falling down and striking her
upper arm. Witnesses reported
hearing a snapping sound when
her arm hit a tree.
The incident occurred at approximately 3:45 p.m. while
Dragon was hiking with several family members near the
Connecticut River, just south of
Second Connecticut Lake. After
the fall, Dragon’s daughter-inlaw, Heather Dragon, ran about
4/10 of a mile back to a vehicle
parked at the trailhead on U.S.
Route 3. She then drove to a
residence to call for help, given
that there was no cell phone
coverage in the immediate area.
Meanwhile, Fritz VanBuren of Bradford, who had been
fly-fishing in the river with
friends, came upon the injured
party and rendered first aid by
creating a sling out of his flannel shirt to support her injured
arm.
Dragon was able to walk
out to the awaiting 45th Parallel Ambulance, with assistance.
She was transported to Upper
Connecticut Valley Hospital in
Colebrook for treatment of her
injury.
“Once again, members of
Pittsburg Fire and Rescue and
45th Parallel EMS did an outstanding job in response to
this incident. It’s great to work
alongside such a group of welltrained and highly dedicated
people,” Conservation Officer
Chris Egan stated. “And thanks
to Mr. VanBuren for his trailside first aid skills.”

new film, “Northern Borders,” to receptive audiences in Colebrook
and Lancaster. Charles Jordan photo.
Jay Craven--Maker Of Great Movies
Sometimes we are so busy that we just don’t stop to
say the obvious. Well, we are not going to let another
moment go by without saying what we’ve felt for quite
sometime: Jay Craven of Vermont makes great movies.
We say that having just come back from a showing
of his latest film, “Northern Borders,” at the Rialto
Theatre in Lancaster. This was the second of two area
showings of Jay’s new film sponsored by the Great
North Woods Committee for the Arts (the first was last
month at the Tillotson Center in Colebrook). Jay was at
both screenings and he stayed around after the movie
to take questions from the audience and talk about the
ups and downs of independent filmmaking here in New
England.
We were on hand back in the early 1990s when he
filmed his first full-length film on a showstring, “Where
The Rivers Flow North,” starring Rip Torn and filmed
in Crawford Notch, among other northern locals. Like
many of Jay’s films, it was based on a story by another
northern New England talent in our midst, writer Howard Frank Mosher. We’ve seen all of Jay’s films since
and have enjoyed seeing how he has--with great care-captured the back country of northern New Hampshire
and Vermont and its people like only someone who understands and loves this corner of the globe can.
The latest film, “Northern Borders,” we think is his
best yet. If you haven’t seen it, you should seek it out.
There will be a few more showings over at Catamount
in St. Johnsbury and it is also now available on DVD
(visit http://www.kingdomcounty.org/).
When someone next says “They just don’t make good
movies anymore,” point them in the direction of Jay and
Kingdom County Productions.

Dear Editor
I am writing in regard to
ATVs on public roads. I live
on Woodcock Drive, a few hundred feet off Back Lake Road in
Pittsburg.
I understand how economically important ATV recreation
is to our area at this time and
commend the effort and planning that has been done with
Ride the Wilds system. My concern, however, is that in our
haste to help our struggling
economy we are not only sacrificing safety, but we are reducing efforts to promote and protect our other natural resources.
We are so fortunate to have our
lakes and streams for fishing
and hunting, our mountains
for hiking trails, our forests for
birding that brings our Audubon friends and others to our
area. We are changing our culture in the North Country, and
we must find ways to accommodate this new recreation, but
still respect the rights of our citizens and protect the land that
has served us so well over the
years.
As a daily driver on Back
Lake Road, I experience the difficulty in driving with ATVs
on this particular road. It now
has heavy recreational ATV usage as well as regular usage because this is the road all townspeople use to go to our recycling
center (dump). In normal conditions it can be challenging with
the hills and curves, but dodging ATV’s makes it perilous not
only for us, but also for the ATV
drivers that are trying to get off
the road. There is an alternative route for the ATVs over and
around Shatney Mountain but
this can be a difficult route for
some.
This is where our emphasis should be, improving trails
with town and club support
(and hopefully state help) and
following the example set by
our snowmobile industry that
developed over the years and
now brings much revenue to our
area and New Hampshire.
My experience on Back Lake
Road is happening on other
public roads. Accidents are inevitable, and preventing them is
a better route than encouraging
them by having ATV vehicles
that are not highway prepared
for traveling on any public
roads.
Lastly, I repeat, please re-
member our North Country heritage. Now we are recognized for
our mechanized recreation. But
in our past we were famous for
our fishing and hunting, and we
must realize the economic value
from the people who come to our
area to enjoy these forms of recreation. As the daughter and
niece of two former respected
Fish and Game Conservation
Officers, I feel the efforts of that
department are needed to promote and protect these natural
resources and am concerned
now their valuable time is being

WHITE NEW CHAMBER
OFFICE MANAGER
Britni White of Stratford has
recently taken on the role of
the North Country Chamber of
Commerce Office Manager.
White, a native of the area
who graduated from Colebrook

Letter to the Editor:
Last week our new U.S.
Congresswoman Annie Kuster
called on a conference call and
asked if I would be part of a
telephone “Town Meeting.” I
thought it was a great idea—
at first. She said we could ask
questions.

Mary Nugent, Office Manager
Lorraine Gamsby, Assistant
After 30 minutes of listening, it became apparent she was
screening calls and would take
calls that were anti–John Boehner (Republican Speaker of the
U.S. House of Representatives).
All questions were from elderly
people and disabled vets that
were scared by Obama’s statement that benefits “might” be
delayed (during the government
shutdown)—a pure lie, veterans’ benefits are prefunded for
one year.
Only one caller was able to
slip through the cracks—a disabled woman vet politely asked
if Ms. Kuster’s paycheck would
be delayed too. Without answering,
Ms. Kuster went on to the
OPTOMETRIST
next prescreened caller.
Let’s make Annie Kuster a
one-term politician!

The evaluation visit will be
conducted under the direction
of the Commission on Public

England Association of Schools
and Colleges. The visiting committee will be chaired by Paul
MacMillan, formerly the Superintendent of SAU 35. MacMillan
has had extensive experience
in the Association’s evaluation

The report is the culmination of a two-year self-study by
the White Mountains Regional
High School faculty and staff,
completed in September 2013.
The visiting committee will
evaluate the self-study report
and the Mission and Learning
Expectations, Curriculum, Instruction, Assessment of Student Learning, Leadership and
Organization, School Resources
for Learning, and Community Resources for Learning at
WMRHS.
Principal Michael Berry said,
“The purpose of this evaluation
visit is to review and determine
from an outside professional
viewpoint the extent to which
the school is meeting the Standards for Accreditation. As part
of the evaluation, the visiting
committee will meet with all
school constituents, review the
school’s self-study, visit a number of classes, and examine examples of student work submitted by the school. During the
comprehensive self-study, the
faculty attempted to identify
the school’s strengths and determined those areas in which
changes would be beneficial.”
The chair of the visiting committee, MacMillan said, “Our
purpose in visiting White Mountains Regional High School is
not to criticize it but to assist
the faculty in its pursuit of quality education for its students.”
Principal Berry pointed out,
“The members of the visiting
committee are contributing their
services to the school. This spirit of professional cooperation is
one of the noted features of the
New England Association. The
goal of an evaluation visit is to
stimulate a continuing drive for
improvement in the school.” The
members of the visiting committee are teachers and administrators from a variety of schools
in the New England area.

Town
Phillips was there is not enough
staff, and perhaps there should
be one public works director
who will schedule work as requests come in. “At present we
have not been able to handle
or keep track of the various requests because there is no real
point of contact,” said Phillips.
Also, there is a need for a
plowing policy so the Board
needs to meet with the highway
and sewer departments to discuss the issues which include
tightening the job descriptions.
Gloria White discussed the
new kiosk to be erected near
the covered bridge by telling the
Board what she had gathered
as information. Some of her research has included the history
of the town, the bridge, hotels,
the mill, the river and Riverside Speedway. White said, “I
have done this at the request of
Eileen Alexander from Whitefield.” The Board asked if she
had a diagram, and since she
did not asked to have a visual
presentation at its next meeting on Oct. 28. The structure
will have a 13-foot by 13-foot
base and a 10-foot by 10-foot
kiosk. There have already been
requests for about a half dozen
ads.
Steve Earley asked the Board
to define what constitutes commercial waste pick-up since his
company has been responsible
for town pick-up since 1999, and
it is important to know what
should or should not be picked
up by his drivers.
On Oct. 28 there will be a
public hearing at 6 p.m. to revise the town curfew ordinance.
Upcoming community suppers
will be on the following Saturdays: Nov. 2, chicken; Nov. 16,
roast pork; and Dec. 14, roast
beef. All dinners are at St. Francis Hall and begin at 5 p.m.

HISTORICAL SOCIETY
The Pittsburg Historical Society Open House was held on
Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013. A large
number of people gathered to
hear Charles and Donna Jordan
talk about the history of Pittsburg and various books they
have written for the area. Donna’s book, New Hampshire’s
Connecticut Lakes Region,
honors the late Bill Lord and
contains historic photographs
and information. Using many
pictures from the historical society, the library of Bill Lord and
other citizens, she acknowledges their input and appreciation
for history. She provides a peek
into Pittsburg history of 160
years that you will not want to
miss.
A beautiful cake and cider
fortified those there. Cathy McComsiky won the door prize, a
signed copy of Donna’s book,
and Otis French won a packet
of notes of six scenes of historic
Pittsburg.

CRIBBAGE COHORTS
What an interesting night!
It came to the last game of the
night when Stan Mullins played
his opponent, Diane Holman,
with eight games in his favor
and Diane had eight games
without a win. Was he going
to get a Grand Slam or was she
going to win a game and take
it all from him? No, he won the
game, got a Grand Slam by winning all nine games. She went
home with the dreaded String
of Pearls, taken from Kathi Wo-
odard!
Though Stan won all games,
he was not the top player for
the night. George Reno came in
first place with 19 game points,
eight wins, spread of 182.
Stan came in second with 18
game points, nine wins, spread
of 75.
Third place goes to Wendell
Woodard with 13 game points,
six wins and a spread of 53.

THE LOGGER IS BACK AT
RIALTO FOR TWO SHOWS
The Heart and Sole Mates
Relay For Life Team announces the return of Rusty Dewees,
a.k.a. “The Logger,” for a pair of
performances on Oct. 18 and 19.
Last year Rusty performed
for two sellout crowds at the Rialto Theatre in Lancaster. This
year the Rialto will host the
first performances of the much
anticipated 2013 Logger Holiday Variety Show. This family
oriented entertainment event
harkens back to classic holiday
variety shows hosted by Dean
Martin, Andy Williams and others, but adds a healthy layer of
earthy Logger comedy to the
unique musical review.
Featured this year is Master
Fiddler Patrick Ross, a broadly
experienced performer of oldtime fiddle music, jazz and classical violin. Ross joins Rusty
Dewees and award winning
composer Peter Wilder as the
core of this year’s The Fellers,
Dewees’ band’s name since the
first holiday variety shows over
a decade ago.
Among the Logger Holiday
Variety Show’s special guests
are Nashville Recording artist
Keeghan Nolan accompanied
by experienced guitarist Tracy
Lord. Also making an appearance will be audience favorite
“Uncle Furman” direct from the
deep woods of the Northeast
Kingdom. Once again, Dewees
has hired an all-Vermonter cast.
“Oh, I love the holiday variety shows,” states Dewees. “The
format is versatile enough for
me to really look out across the
talent landscape in the area
and make choices I think will
surprise many. Folks will enjoy
what we’re cooking up for these
shows. They’ll get some wicked

bang for their buck.”
Unannounced special guests
are always a possibility for the
shows.
“Here’s the thing,” continues
Dewees. “If I am taken with an
individual’s talent, I know audiences will be too. So I pursue
having that individual in my
show. It’s just that simple.”
Dewees summarizes: “Folks
on the street often mention the
Logger variety shows as being highlights of their family’s
holiday celebration. Hearing
that tells me we’re doing our
job entertaining. This year’s effort, with the first class level of
singers and players I’ve hired,
is bound to outdo our shows of
the past.”

ANNUAL MUSIC
ACHIEVEMENT AWARDS
Last Saturday, the ANAF
Unit 318 (or as it is better
known, “The Hut”) was bursting
at the seams with local talent
and the best music the area has
to offer. It was the 13th annual
Music Achievement Awards.
This all started with an idea of
paying tribute to the late Jerry
Robitaille and Dick Curless.
People loved the idea and a
group got together and decided
to make it an annual event and
pay tribute to a different musician each year. The Eastern
Townships is full of talent and
these men and women have entertained the public for a lot of
years and kept country music
alive for all to enjoy.
This year’s Achievement
Awards kicked off at 1 p.m.
with countless musicians along
with their bands performing to
a packed house of friends, family and fans. We spoke to some
of the musicians and were told
that playing music was just
like a big family reunion. Every
person in the hall is considered
family. This year, they honored
three very talented people for
their many years of entertaining the crowds. The first honored at the event wasn’t a musician, though, but a fellow by the
name of Bruce Neil. Bruce is
the fellow that got the Achievement Awards going thirteen
years ago and has worked very
hard over the years to make it a
huge success. Bruce isn’t alone
in this deal, though, because
his wife Pat has also worked
hand in hand with him and has
helped him organize over the
years. This award caught Bruce
completely off guard, but in
true Bruce style, he hopped up
on the stage, shook off the nervousness and thanked everyone
for the honor. Then it was time
for the awards to begin.
The first was Bobbi-Dee from
Fitch Bay, near Stanstead, Que.
She started recording in 1981
but music has been in this lady’s blood since she was born.
She has been preforming for
over 40 years and will likely
be for 40 more. She is truly an
amazing lady that is bubbling

Hamel from the Lennoxville
region. Francine started playing at 10 years old and hasn’t
stopped since and has certainly
made a name for herself. She
has formed many bands, one
being “Black Canyon” in which
she performed for over 10 years.
They played all over and once
won an award for best band in
Malone, NY. They then went to
open for Lonestar, George Jones
and Farmers Daughter just to
name a few. Francine missed
only one night of preforming in
10 years.
Last but certainly not least
was Sam Evans who has been
around for over 43 years. Sam is
a true drum player and singer.
He states that he can remember using his mothers knitting
needles as drum sticks and pots
and pans as drums. He was determined to play so after saving
up his money he went out and
bought a good set of drums at
13 years old. At age 14, he got a
job drumming for Bob Lasemba,
who is a huge music star in the
Townships, and the rest is history for Sam. He has been beat-
ing the drums ever since.
Since the very first edition
of these awards the committee
has awarded 21 people, to include Rodney Bray, Roger Goodsell, the late Steve Powers, Jan
Graham, Buck Sayers, Phillip
Patton, Lyndon Sheldon, Steve
Aulis, Ronnie Haseltine, Dale
and Dave Bessant, Brian Curtis
and Peter Mackay just to name
a few. The music rocked the hall
until well into the night and the
dance floor was hopping all day
with everyone having a very enjoyable day amongst friends and
their musical family.

SHERBROOKE-COMPTON
PLOWING MATCH
The annual SherbrookeCompton Plowing Match took
place near Lennoxville last
Monday. This match has been
going on for what feels like forever on Thanksgiving Monday
in Canada. Events began at
around 9 a.m. on land owned
by Denis Boisvert on Nicol
Rd., with many taking part in
both the horse drawn plowing
and tractor plowing. The tractors ranged from the smallest
to fairly large with all turning
the sod to perfection. The day
was a wet one, to say the least,
but it didn’t dampen the spirits
of these die-hard plowmen and
women one tiny bit. They competed hard and kept their furrows straight and true all day.
The Judge for the match was

type of thing for many years.
The day continued until about
3 p.m. when everyone got their
plot plowed and then judged.
This pretty much wrapped up
the day because no results will
be given of who won until the
Plowmans supper on Nov.1st at
the hall in Ives Hill, Que. Then,
and only then, the results will
be announced and the trophies
will be given.
