Ruminations Still looking for those deer? by Tena Starr

It’s the kind of fall day that feels and sounds like sugaring weather rather than deer season weather. The sun is shining, the snow is melting, and I can hear the splash and hiss of pickups driving up and down this dirt road, which is turning muddy. Seasons, especially on a dirt road, have a distinct sound. Early morning in sugaring season, passing vehicles crunch on wet roads that turned crusty overnight. And as that ice, or corn snow, melts over the course of an above-freezing day, the sound changes. But in spring I can also hear the sound of vacuum pumps running. This day, it’s road hunters, rather than sugarmakers checking their lines, or their buckets, driving around. My family has always been one of hunters, not sugarmakers. The first time I made maple syrup was after moving to this house, which once had four enormous maples in a line facing the road. There’s one left. In the nineties a vicious windstorm called a downburst knocked down two of them, fortunately across the road away from the house, although that meant they pulled down the power lines. Better than demolishing the house. Faux venison with wild rice pilaf. Photo by Tena Starr A lot of big old trees on this road came down in that storm. I was at a meeting in Barton where rummaged through the garden, eating any 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided there was no storm and had no idea what was remnants of what hasn’t been gleaned. 1 onion, chopped going on at home.

CNB sponsors fund-raiser for hospice Tree of Lights will again adorn the front of Community National Bank at the Derby branch office. As it has for over ten years, it will be illuminated with colorful lights, each representing a loved one remembered. The Tree of Lights is an annual benefit for the hospice program of Orleans Essex Visiting Nurses Association and Hospice, Inc. (OEVNA). OEVNA’s mission continues to provide home health care services to residents in the 24 communities in Orleans and northern Essex counties. The tree has been generously donated by Carl and Judith Szych of Breezy Hill Acres. A tree-lighting ceremony will take place on Monday, December 12, at 5:30 p.m. at the Community National Bank, Derby branch office, with light refreshments and cookies served. All are welcome to attend. “We’re happy to once again host the Tree of Lights, partnering with OEVNA,” said Kathy Austin, President of Community National Bank. “It’s the perfect time of year to honor our loved ones by lighting the tree in support of the good work OEVNA does in our community.” Lyne Limoges, Executive Director of OEVNA added, “We extend our heartfelt thanks to Community National Bank for again hosting the annual Tree of Lights at their branches in the Northeast Kingdom. Many find solace, especially during the holidays, in taking the time to remember and honor loved ones who have passed. The illuminated tree is a reminder that although loved ones may not be physically present, they live on in our hearts.” The Tree of Lights will be lit from the tree lighting event on December 12 until January 2, 2017. Donations of $5 are accepted at Community National Bank branches in Newport, Derby, Derby Line, Troy, Island Pond, and Barton, as well as at OEVNA. For more information about the Tree of Lights fund-raiser or about the services of the agency, please call 334-5213. — from the OEVNA.
