Kids Day Local and Burlington area hairstylists and two local pizza shops participated in a nationwide Go Green Campaign to do “acts of kindness” for people in need on Thursday August 15. In the local case the stylists set up camp at The Good Samaritan Haven in Barre and provided free haircuts/styling for at least 12 people. Lunch was provided by Simply Subs & Pizza and Pizza Hut to everyone at The Good Samaritan Haven. Organizers of the event were quite pleased with the response.

Several volunteers from the Montpelier office of Hickok and Boardman volunteered in July to beautify the front of 579 South Barre Rd., aka the Children, Youth and Family Services (CYFS) headquarters. The crew worked on preparing a large circular bed for plantings in the front of the building. This project was spearheaded by Joann Gosselin, Personal Insurance Manager for the Montpelier office, and her help organizing the volunteers made this project a big success!

This work focuses on projects identified through River Corridor Plans, Stormwater Master Plans, and Tactical Basin Plans. This work serves the dual purpose of protecting the State’s water quality and supporting the mission of Conservation Districts and provide a vehicle to strategically address regional water quality priorities. The $55,460 grant provides support for Conservation Districts to develop water quality projects, including identifying potential water quality benefits, connecting with landowners, and identifying permitting needs for those projects. Ultimately, the collective state-wide NRCDs will develop at least 42 water quality projects for future design and implementation. Activities began this month and will extend through the summer of 2020. A clear need has been identified to develop projects from existing Stormwater Master Plans, River Corridor Plans or targeted sub-watersheds identified in Tactical Basin Plans. Often when these plans are developed, a select few immediately feasible projects are prepared for implementation, however many potential projects remain in the plans without landowners identified, support secured, scopes of work developed, costs estimated, benefits assessed, or permitting needs identified. These project development activities are critical to readying priority water quality projects for implementation and honoring the previous financial investments made to identify these opportunities. As part of the State’s Clean Water Initiative Program, this funding will be used to enable project development activities across the state of Vermont in the Lake Champlain, Lake Memphremagog, Connecticut River and Hoosic River watersheds. Conservation Districts will continue to work with their Basin Planners and other partners to assess specific project development goals.

NRCC’s mission is to advance conservation and water quality efforts in Vermont by providing strategic guidance and operational support to Conservation Districts, contributing a local perspective on state conservation policies, and facilitating the sharing of information among members and partners. Conservation Districts were created throughout the United States after the Dust Bowl era of the 1930’s and 40’s to help landowners and communities enhance soil health, protect water quality, and support the viability of the working landscape. Vermont’s Conservation Districts promote clean water through education and agriculture, forestry, watershed protection, and urban conservation programs.

Join us in the BPL Community Room in the library on Sunday, September 15th @ 1:30pm. Speaker, Carleton Young states: The background to my story is that about twelve years ago, after my parents had passed away, I was clearing out their house in Pittsburgh and was surprised to find a very old wooden box in the attic. Inside the box was an enormous collection of about 250 letters written home by two Vermont brothers as they fought in the Civil War. The two soldiers were from Williamstown and had attended Barre Academy on the site of the original Spaulding High School (now of course the Vermont History Center). There are also many close ties to Northfield with young men from the area joining the Vermont Brigade and Norwich University graduates serving as officers. It turned out that the two soldiers wrote very descriptive letters about their experiences during the war. They were members of the Vermont Brigade, the only brigade in the Union Army consisting of men from only one state. This brigade became renowned for their courage and fighting ability. They fought in many of the most famous battles of the Civil War, and suffered more casualties that any other brigade in the war. After discovering the letters home of these two brothers, for more than a decade I visited battlefields to retrace the Old Schoolhouse Common 122 School St. Room #2, Marshfield, Vt 05658 802-426-3581 Jaquith Public Library in Marshfield One of Eight Selected by National Researchers Do you have something to say about the Jaquith Public Library?

Based on this research, I published the book Voices From the Attic: The Williamstown Boys in the Civil War. The publication of the book was followed by many positive reviews. For example, Vermont History said the book “is more than another good narrative. It is an adventure of historical research and discovery.” Civil War News said that the book “is a substantial contribution to the genre of first-person Civil War accounts becoming so popular today and would make a worthwhile addition to any Civil War student’s bookshelf.” The Western Pennsylvania History Journal said that the book “offers a deeply interesting look into two detailed experiences of the war which explore the battles as well as life in between. Unlike other soldiers who may have skipped over tough details when writing home to families, the brothers did not shy away from describing the horror of battles, their hardships in camp, and what they saw as they marched through the South. More than merely satisfying an interest in the war, the author demonstrates our surprising connections to each other both past and present.” As a result of such reviews, over the last two years I have been invited to share my story in nine states with more than 150 historical societies, libraries, and other organizations.

The Institute of Museum and Library Services is funding the three-year Rural Library Service & Social Wellbeing project across the nation, with communities chosen in Iowa, Mississippi, New Mexico, New York, Wisconsin, and Vermont. The project was initiated and is led by the Southern Tier Library System, a cooperative serving predominantly rural community libraries in western New York. “As centers of learning and catalysts of community change, libraries and museums connect people with programs, services, collections, information, and new ideas in the arts, sciences, and humanities. They serve as vital spaces where people can connect with each other,” said IMLS Director Dr. Kathryn K. Matthew. “IMLS is proud to support their work through our grant making as they inform and inspire all in their communities.” The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation’s libraries and museums. “We advance, support, and empower America’s museums, libraries, and related organizations through grantmaking, research, and policy development. Our vision is a nation where museums and libraries work together to transform the lives of individuals and communities.
