Hartland enjoys new community pizza oven By Curt Peterson On Friday, Oct.16, Hartland residents celebrated the unveiling of the town’s new community pizza oven during the drive-through Farmers’ Market amid a significant downpour. Everyone who asked was served a free slice of pizza baked in the brand new wood-fired oven. “We made twenty pizzas with eight slices each,” Farmers’ Market manager Brian Stroffolino told the Mountain Times. “That’s one-hundred sixty slices – all gone!” Community – 1, Pandemic/rainstorm – 0. A big win for the Home Team. And the pizza got quite a few listserv compliments. “My pizza this evening had a crust to die for, and a sauce … oh, so good,” wrote Selectman Phil Hobbie on the Hartland listserv, citing the long history of “town ovens” in Egypt, Rome and Naples, home of the first pizza oven. The Community Pizza Oven Steering Committee, including Stroffolino, his wife Melissa Wyman, Jeffrey Hamelman, Jesse Hills, Tina Barney, Tom Graham and Sarah White, got Select Board and Hartland Library blessing for the project in the fall of 2018, @back_country_cafe Open Thurs.-Mon. at 7 A.M.

Final cost of the oven on town property was $3,000, the difference made up by private donors. “Local contractors Garcia Excavation, D&D Excavating and Brockway Enterprises contributed materials and labor to complete the project,” Stroffolino said. So far wood fuel has been donated. The committee fired up the oven on Sept. 30 to make sure it was ready for prime-time pizza-making. The purpose for the oven project is threefold. “Of course, providing pizza for the Farmers’ Market is one purpose,” Stroffolino said. “We will also use it to teach Hartland students about wood-fired food, and to make it available for private and community events.” If someone wants to rent the facility, volunteers will either operate the oven or BC BACKCOUNTRY CAFE KILLINGTON VERMONT Vermont Gift Shop BC BACKCOUNTRY CAFE KILLINGTON VERMONT (802) 773-2738 train users how to cook in it safely and efficiently. “I look forward to future events when we can all safely gather around fire and food,” Stroffolino wrote on the listserv.

Vermont Fish & Wildlife invites Vermonters to celebrate world fish migration day Saturday, Oct. 24 and Wednesday Oct. 28—The Vermont Fish & Wildlife Department, along with several local, state and federal conservation partners, will be celebrating World Fish Migration Day on Saturday, Oct. 24 and Wednesday, Oct. 28 with in-person and online activities. World Fish Migration Day is a global day of recognition to raise awareness about fish migration and commemorate free flowing rivers. Vermont Fish & Wildlife, the Vermont Natural Resources Council, Friends of the Winooski River, Vermont Rivers Program, Connecticut River Conservancy, the Vermont chapter of the Nature Conservancy, and the U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service are offering opportunities to learn more about Vermont’s fish migration efforts. “During this international event, we’re featuring the restoration work that we and our local partners do every day to remove abandoned dams, improve passage at hydropower dams and fix perched culverts to improve aquatic organism passage for migratory fish,” said Aquatic Habitat Biologist Will Eldridge with Vermont Fish & Wildlife. Saturday, Oct. 24, guests can tour the Camp Wihakowi Dam removal site on Bull Run, a tributary to the Dog River in Northfield, and see a stream restoration project happening. Tours start at 12 p.m. and end at 3 p.m. Please email the Friends of the Winooski River to register: info@winooskiriver.org. Wednesday, Oct. 28, the Connecticut River Conservancy will host a virtual town hall meeting to learn about native sea lamprey and American shad, two species that migrate from the Atlantic Ocean to the Connecticut River and its tributaries to spawn. Register for the event at tinyurl.com/ ctriverevent. An Agents of Discovery digital scavenger hunt and three educational videos will showcase the migrating fish at the Winooski One Dam, native sea lamprey and American shad in the Connecticut River, and brook, brown and rainbow trout in Bull Run in Northfield.
