OBITUARIES
ADRIEN BELANGER
Adrien J. Belanger, 74, of Whitefield
and formerly of Stratford, died at the
Grafton County Nursing Home on
Monday, January 19, 2015 after a period
of failing health.
He was born in Sherbrooke, Québec, to
Fernand and Adrienne (Duchesneau)
Belanger in 1940. After moving to the
U.S., Adrien joined the Army National
Guard in 1957 and completed his high
school education. He met Carol Martin in
Groveton and the couple were married on
May 14, 1960. Together they raised five
children. Adrien worked for Washburn
Lumber and Brown Street Furniture, and
in 2003 he retired from DCI. He was a
member of the Gate of Heaven Parish.
Adrien was a skilled woodworker, building much of the family’s furniture on his
own. He enjoyed watching the Patriots,
Red Sox and NASCAR racing, rooting for
number 24. Most of all, he will be remembered as a tinkerer. He refused to believe
anything was truly broken until he had
completely disassembled and inspected it
to see if repairs were possible, and most of
the time they were.
His family remembers him pulling the
motor out of an electric recliner to repair
an air pump so he could add air to his tractor tires, or fixing his car with scraps of
pipe he had lying around. Even as his
health failed him, Adrien would take apart
the medical equipment that surrounded
him to see how it worked.
Adrien is survived by his wife, Carol;
two sons, Robert and Michael Belanger;
three daughters, Donna Paquette, Anita
Payer and Brenda Bedard; a brother,
Roger Belanger; three sisters, Ferand
Seguin, Denis Reindeau and Rita Koch;
14 grandchildren, 19 great-grandchildren,
and several nieces and nephews.
He was predeceased by his parents and
by two sisters, Doris Dowse and Madeline
Belanger.
There are no calling hours and services
will be held at the convenience of the family. Those who wish to send a private note
of condolence to the family may visit

MARIE JUDGE
Marie Stevens Judge, 90, of Guildhall,
died at the Country Village Nursing Home
on January 23, 2015 surrounded by her
family and friends.
Marie was born in Epsom on September
10, 1924 and was the oldest of Edgar and
Ruth (Pike) Stevens’ three daughters. She
moved to Lancaster in 1938 with her family and attended Lancaster Academy.
She was employed at Frank Smith’s and
later introduced to the love of her life,
Wayne Judge, on a blind date orchestrated
by none other than Dick Monahan. After
marriage they took up residence at the
Judge Farm in Guildhall, where they
(Continued on Page 3)
Friday, January 30, 2015
Obituaries
(Continued From Page 2)
raised their family and her roots
remained for over 70 years. Wayne predeceased her in 1979.
In her day she was active in Eastern Star
and was an honorary Worthy Matron of
the Willena Benton Chapter in Guildhall.
She was a member of the Guildhall
Community Church, the Guildhall school
board and the Busy Beavers 4-H Club.
She was always on a committee for various fund-raisers, hunter suppers and charitable events, and her biggest event was
Guildhall’s bicentennial celebration.
She worked for many years as a waitress
and hostess at the Lancaster Motel, the
Mountain View, and later at the Lancaster
Diner. For many years she was the bus
driver for the Guildhall School, driving
and maintaining her own bus. She told
many a story of “pickin’ off” a partridge
with the bumper of the bus on her way
home from delivering her kids to school.
She made an awesome partridge pie (it
took about eight hits to feed a family of
seven).
She loved cooking, gardening, flowers,
birds, nature and the outdoors. Preserving
nature’s beauty was a hobby she enjoyed
by collecting and pressing flowers, ferns,
leaves and butterfly wings, which she
crafted into lamp shades and picture
frames to give as gifts. She loved game
shows, chocolate, popcorn and playing
Skip-Bo, but her favorite all-time treat
was eating lobster whenever possible.
She loved people and had a great sense
of humor, but mostly she loved her family.
She leaves behind her five children,
William Judge and his wife Susan of
Wakefield, N.H., Kendall Judge and his
wife Dorothy of Dillingham, Alaska,
Bonnie Judge of Guildhall, Steven Judge
and his wife Carrie of Kenai, Alaska, and
Wesley Judge and his wife Janet of
Buxton, Maine; seven grandchildren,
Jennifer Judge, Valerie Gainer, Joshua
Judge, Geanina Shillings, Alec Judge,
Shane Judge, Gregory Judge and Erin
Judge; and six great-grandchildren.
Marie was predeceased by her sisters,
Laura Stevens Gonyer and Madeline
Stevens Jenkins; and three grandchildren,
Ryan and Heather Judge and Trapheme
Angason.
There will be no calling hours at Marie’s
request. She wished to be remembered as
people knew and loved her. A celebration
of her life will be held at the Whitefield

Local Band 3 Rivers Launches Kickstarter
Campaign to Record Their Debut Album
A local band called 3 Rivers launched a
Kickstarter campaign on January 19, aiming to raise $2,500 in order to record their
first album, “River Music” in February at
Mojo Recording Studio in Easton.
They have 13 songs ready to go, and are
working on album design and distribution.
By Friday the fourth day of their campaign, 15 backers had already pushed
them past the halfway mark toward their
goal. They are excited about the response
and are looking to their community to help
them reach their goal.
3 Rivers consists of Gary Rexford on
drums, Ricci Fitzgerald on acoustic guitar
and bass, and Kyle van der Laan on keyboard. The band started in the spring of
2014, but their story goes back much further. All three men grew up in Lancaster
and first played together during high
school in the early 1990s band Soul
Kitchen, performing at school dances and
house parties.
High school graduation and separate
journeys ended the group, but bonds of
music and friendship were formed that
would last through the years as they scattered all over the earth.
In 2002 they reunited and started Green
Fuse, a touring band based in Bozeman,
Mont. This was an intense period of musical growth and discovery, as their songwriting and music developed in the smoky
bars of Montana. Two years later they
again separated as their lives progressed.
Since then they’ve taken their own
meandering paths. Ricci taught English
and played in a band in China for eight
years before moving back to New
Hampshire. After years of study in New
York City, Gary practices acupuncture and
Oriental Medicine here in town. Kyle got
a master’s in writing and teaches at both
Granite State and Lyndon State colleges.
Kyle and Gary are both married, and Gary
has a young son. They’ve all grown and
flourished as individuals, and now the
boys of Soul Kitchen and the young men
of Green Fuse have re-formed as 3 Rivers,
and they’re playing their best music yet.
3 Rivers play a blend of musical styles
including indie rock and folk, a spoken
word style they call Groove Hop, some
blues and jazz, a little bit of old-time
country, and an occasional dash of punk.
In other words, they borrow from an
eclectic array of genres to make their own
unique sound. Each band member writes
songs reflecting his own musical taste, life
experience and ethos. Then they work
through them over and over till they aren’t
Ricci or Kyle or Gary songs, but 3 Rivers
songs.
The band will perform live on the North
Country Community Radio in Littleton at
6 p.m. on Thursday, January 29. They are
also scheduled to play at Lancaster’s
Rialtopalooza in April, and at
Lyndonville’s The Stage in May.
Their Kickstarter campaign (www.kickstarter.com) will end on February 18.
Kickstarter is an all-or-nothing fund-raising platform for creative projects—if 3
Rivers does not reach its goal, it will not
receive any of the pledge funds, and backers are not charged until the campaign has
ended successfully. Those interested can
follow the band on Facebook for updates,
pictures, video and links to demos on
SoundCloud (www.soundcloud.com).
LETTER TO EDITOR
A second thought:
Substantial increases in your taxes are
on the horizon because the proposed
White Mountains Regional school district
budget is up over $1.2 million from last
year. Much of the increase amassed in rising insurance and proposed contract costs
for teachers, support staff and administration and is viewed as “unavoidable.”
The reality, though, is our student population continues to decline over the long
run and our district continues to expand
educational and inter-scholastic programs
without real consideration for the district
tax base’s ability to pay. This trend will
continue unless we the taxpayers send a
clear message of “no more.”
While we are all committed to excellence in education for our children, we
must work within our capacity to pay. The
delibrative session is Monday, February 2
at 7 p.m. at the high school. Now is a time
to act, not complain later when the tax bill
arrives.

Weeks Library to Host Safe Sitter
Course for Teens on February 23
Weeks Memorial Library will host Safe
Sitter, the comprehensive babysitting
training program for adolescents age 11
and up, on February 23. Over 500,000
graduates have completed the course
across the country, enabling graduates to
handle emergencies when caring for
younger children and equipping them with
the tools needed to stay home alone safely.
Injuries are the leading cause of death in
children up to age five, and Safe Sitter is a
well-rounded, medically based youth
development program that aims to reduce
the number of avoidable and unintentional
deaths among children being cared for by
young teen babysitters. The program follows American Heart Association standards for rescue skills and offers instruction in first aid techniques from the
American Academy of Pediatrics.
This nationally recognized program was
developed by Indianapolis pediatrician Dr.
Patricia Keener, after a colleague’s toddler
choked to death while in the care of an
adult sitter who didn’t know what actions
to take. Students who complete the Safe
Sitter program gain confidence and learn
how, why and where injuries can happen
so they can be prevented. They are taught
infant and child choking rescue, how a
child’s age affects the way to care for
them, how to prevent problem behavior,
how to run their own babysitting business,
and about issues of on-line and cell phone
safety.
To graduate from the Safe Sitter course
and receive a completion card, students
must pass a rigorous practical and written
test that indicates their mastery of key
concepts and life and safety skills. The
program will be presented from 9 a.m. to
4 p.m. on Monday, February 23. There is a
$25 fee to cover the cost of materials and
advance registration is required as space is
limited.
Those who wish to register may contact
youth services librarian Ronnie Zajac, at
603-788-3352 or [email protected].

Each tax situation is different and not everyone will receive a refund.
In a 2013 H&R Block study of tax returns by people who did their own
taxes, nearly half had differences, and approximately 40% of people
with differences were entitled to a larger refund. OBTP#B13696

EVERETT STANTON
Everett Stanton, 87, of Columbia, died
at the Northeastern Vermont Regional
Hospital in St. Johnsbury on Monday
morning, January 26, 2015 after a long
period of declining health.
Everett was born in Columbia on May
13, 1927, and was a son to the late Walter
and Wilma (Whiting) Stanton. He attended the Cone School in Columbia and later
entered the Navy during World War II. He
was injured in basic training, was released
from the military and returned home to the
North Country.
Everett then worked for a time at the
Stratford Plywood Mill and later for the
Groveton paper mill. He was drafted into
the Army in 1952, and served his country
with honor during the Korean conflict.
Upon returning home again, Everett
worked for a time for Cummings
Chevrolet and later for Ethan Allen. He
retired from the James River Corp. in
Groveton in 1989.
Everett loved to drive and travel with his
wife, and their adventures took them to
California, Mexico, the Grand Canyon
and Texas. He loved to tinker on things,
and he even remodeled his entire home
over the years.
He is survived by a daughter, Debra and
her husband Martin Hewson Jr. of Derby
Line, Vt.; a sister, Doris DeLong and her
husband George of West Stewartstown; a
granddaughter, Jennifer Hewson of
Nashville, Tenn.; along with nieces,
nephews and cousins.
He was preceded in death by his beloved
wife of 64 years, Marion (Adair) Stanton
in 2013, and a son, Eugene Stanton in
1973.
At Everett’s request, there are no public
services. A private burial will take place in
the spring at the Colebrook Village
Cemetery.

On April 19, 1947 she was united in
marriage to William D. Webster of Port
Leyden at the Congregational Church in

and William had celebrated 56 years of
marriage at the time of his death in 2003,
and they shared their lives together in

Livermore Falls, Maine, and Stratford
before they retired and moved back to Port

Friday, January 30, 2015
Evelyn was employed by Plywood

years in the administration department at

citizens clubs. She was a member of the
Port Leyden Historical Club, Port Leyden
PLUS group, and the Lewis County
General Hospital Auxiliary.
In August of 2004 she received the
Humanitarian Award from the Lewis

great sense of humor and enjoyed making
people laugh and smile. She was a member of St. Mark’s Episcopal Church in Port
Leyden.
She is survived by her daughter, Sandra
(Webster) Sexton; her “adopted” neighbor
family David, Regina, Ashley and
Danielle Brown; and a sister-in-law, Laura

Two important workshops are being
offered by UNH Cooperative Extension in
the coming month and both are northsouth combinations, held in Lancaster and
Concord.
The first set of workshops called “Using
Precision Farming Technology” takes
place on Thursday, February 12 at the
North Country Resource Center in
Lancaster. In the morning, Extension dairy
specialist Jeff Brewley of the University
of Kentucky will discuss herd management solutions that can make a farm more
profitable. In the afternoon, Brent Croscut
of Dairy One will look at how to implement these technologies, followed by a
panel of experienced farmers explaining
how they are going about it.
Bringing more land into productive use
is always a concern of many in agriculture. In the afternoon, Josh Faulkner of
UVM will discuss land drainage basics
and its active applications in New
England: why there is renewed interest,
engineering concepts, designs, techniques
and economics.
The second workshop, titled “Forage
Crop Risk Management,” features talks of
interest to all plant growers. The session
will be held on Tuesday, February 17 at
the Rialto Theatre in Lancaster.
The morning speaker is Howard Skinner
of the USDA’s Agriculture Research
Service, whose research has focused on
using weather data to examine the dynamics of pasture management. His talk will
explain winter survivability of crops: the
interaction of fall and winter temperatures, snow cover, management and cultivar selection to reduce plant mortality.
Those who grow perennial crops in the
North Country should not miss this presentation.
The afternoon session will take a look at
plant breeding to improve farming potential in the Northeast. Agronomist Dan
Mongeau of Pioneer Seeds will talk about
practices to minimize losses from
Northern Corn Leaf Blight by better
understanding its life cycle and selecting
disease resistant varieties.
Following that presentation, agronomist
Art Graves and plant breeder Steve Plehn
of Mycogen Seeds will review corn breeding, from teosinte to today’s silage-specific and insect-resistant hybrids. Most of
these concepts are applicable to crops
other than forages, such as fruits, vegetables and ornamentals.
Advance registration is encouraged for
all of these sessions, and those interested
may contact the Coös County Extension
office in Lancaster, at 603-788-4961 or
[email protected]. Flyers for these workshops may be viewed on-line at
www.extension.unh.edu under “Programs” and “Agriculture Resourses.”

Twin Mountain Public Library
603-846-5818 or [email protected]
Mondays 4-8 , Tuesdays 9-1, Wednesdays 1-5 & Saturdays 10-1
New for 2015, the Twin Mountain Library
is going to have Sledding Saturdays.
Everyone is invited to bring their sleds and
have fun on the town sledding hill, then
warm up in the library with some hot chocolate and cookies. Children must be accompanied by an adult and are encouraged to check
out books or DVDs and sign up for library
cards. Books, magazines and Wi-Fi are available for parents who don’t wish to go sledding themselves.
The first Sledding Saturday takes place
from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on January 31.
Refreshments will be served by library director Tom and his daughter, who was volunteered under protest. Those interested can
check out the library’s Facebook page for
more event information and for future dates.
A number of titles are new to the library
this past month, including Prince Lestat by
Anne Rice, the latest in her famous vampire
series after an 11-year hiatus. Continuing
with this scary theme, Stephen King’s
Revival, Dean Koontz’s City and Elizabeth
George’s The Edge of Water will give readers a good chill. Book six of the “Mortal
Instruments” series, City of Heavenly Fire by
Cassandra Clare, along with dozens of donated titles have also been added to the collection.
The DVD collection has grown at a great
pace in 2014 thanks mainly to donations, and
had to be moved to additional shelving for
better access. The latest movie title is “XMen: Days of Future Past,” and new titles are
coming in February.
Visitors are welcome to bring in a laptop,
tablet or other device and get connected to
the free wireless Internet connection, and
library patrons may now also get access to
eBooks. Twin Mountain has one of the few
pet-friendly libraries in the state and welcomes well-behaved dogs, who may even
get a treat during their visit.
The library is situated in the Carroll Town
Hall and is open from 4 to 8 p.m. on
Monday; 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Tuesday; 1 to 5
p.m. on Wednesday; and 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. on
Saturday. Patrons may also renew checked
items by calling 846-5818 and leaving a
message, or by e-mail to twinmountainpl@
roadrunner.com. The library Facebook page
is Twin Mountain Public Library.
Wallace Pond Ice-Out Contest Revived
to Benefit Canaan Recreation Park
The weather is a favorite topic of conversation when visiting with people—someone
always asks, “When do you think the ice is
going out?” To make life more interesting,
the Canaan Community Recreation Park
members got the idea to revive the Wallace
Pond Ice-Out Contest.
A clock mechanism will be set up on the
shore of Lake Wallace, and Sylvain
Lamontagne will check it daily in the morning and afternoon. When the block goes
down, the clock will be disconnected, stopping at the “official” ice-out time. He has
monitored this for years and states the earliest date was April 8 and latest was May 14.
Whoever guesses closest to the date and
time when the clock stopped will win the
contest. Fifty percent of the proceeds will go
to the Canaan Recreation Park Fund and the
rest will go to the winner (after expenses).
There’s no exact science for winning this
Ice-Out Contest—only Mother Nature
knows how each spring will turn out—so
everyone has an equal chance of picking the
correct date and time to win.
Tickets cost $1 each and may be purchased
at the Canaan Town Office, Towle’s Mini
Mart or Canaan Gulf, and will also be available for printing off the town Web site,
www.canaan-vt.org. Tickets must be purchased by March 31.
Questions may be answered by calling the
town office at 802-266-3370 between 8 a.m.
and 3 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Local Community College of Vt. Students
Benefit from Experience with Toastmasters
Barrie Rosalinda, adjunct faculty member and instructor at Community College
of Vermont, recently reached out to North
Country Toastmasters vice president of
education Liz Brisson, looking for career
professionals to present in her public
speaking course. The students’ final projects were to give presentations, and Barrie
knew feedback from the community
would help round out their course.
Four members of North Country
Toastmasters presented “The Power of
Feedback.” On-the-spot-evaluations for
speakers are the cornerstone of every
Toastmasters meeting, so it was a perfect
fit. Members presented varied feedback
using time-tested techniques and tips;

member Jill Kimball shared, “The
Sandwich,” which involves layering positive and constructive comments during
feedback.
It was an easy sell to the students, who
then put it into practice evaluating their
classmates’ preliminary presentations.
Toastmasters members also contributed
ideas to help the students develop their
presentations even further.
“It’s always great for a Toastmaster to
step out of the comfort zone of presenting
in our club meetings,” said member
Dayna Flumerfelt. “Being able to help students in the community is a bonus and
what we prepare for as members,” said
