Paddle Report
Hump Day Paddlers Visit North Hartland Lake
It was a beautiful day for a paddle last Wednesday. The Hump Day Paddlers (Cathy, Jan and I) were excited to paddle North Hartland Lake to the Quechee Gorge. The Army Corps of Engineers Park opened for Memorial Day weekend. It was a great day to see bald eagles. We saw at least four and maybe five of them.
We made the roughly 5 mile paddle up to Quechee Gorge. it was the emptiest I've ever seen it.

Silver Lake, Barnard VT
My friend, Gidget and I paddled Silver Lake in Barnard VT on Sunday looking for the loon pair that was there last summer.
We paddle the whole lake and saw no loon activity.
It was still a great paddle. Around 10 am the park beach started filling up and it got quite noisy so we met a friend at the Barnard General Store for lunch. After lunch Trish went to check out Silver Lake State Park and Gidget and I hit Silver Lake Syrup for a couple of Maple Creemees!

Covered Bridges Half Marathon
Team TuTu Much Fun formed during the COVID-19 pandemic. Myself and four friends were meeting weekly on ZOMM and when the Covered Bridge Half Marathon (CBHM) was announced as a VIRTUAL RACE for 2021, we decided to take on the 13.1 miles.
We were NOT going for speed, we just wanted to complete it and we did! In our tutus!

Hike/Bike Report
Hunt for Yellow Lady Slippers, Eshqua Bog Hartland VT
On Sunday Trish, Gidget and I visited Eshqua Bog in Hartland to look for the yellow lady slippers. A friend had visited last week and spotted about a dozen. With Gidget's eagle eye, we found a pair but they were on their way out. The showy lady slippers should be out in the next couple of weeks.
We have the trail to ourselves and it was so nice to be in the cool woods when the temps. were reaching into the 90s.

LIVE Music is Back!
Jay and I went to see Grace Potter SOLO at Bank of NH Pavilion in Gilford, NH Saturday evening. It was supposed to a pod, physically distanced show but security/ushers were letting the fans move their chairs and cluster together in front of the stage and at their seats.
We're vax'd but if wasn't I would not have been comfortable with the behavior on display.
The show was good. We haven't seen a Grace Potter show since 2015. We were not into her "new" band or the music she's been putting out lately. It was good to be back in the audience of a live show even with annoying the fans-lots of talking and drama.
I must be getting old because I can barely tolerate FAN behavior now. Listening rooms have become my favorite venues. There were four fans who took the empty seats in front of us and proceeded to talk, take selfies and actually take phone calls during the show but they kept screaming "We Love You Grace!"-yeah so much so that the didn't pay attention to Grace's performance.

Grade 8 Graduation - June 8 at 4:00 pm
The ceremony will be outside, weather permitting on the soccer field.
There will be 26 graduates so the school is creating 26 family pods, marked in paint. There will
be six chairs in the family pod with the name of the student on the back of the chairs, making
it easy to locate your section.
If more than six people appear from a family, they are
welcome to stand in the family pod area. Please remain in your pod areas throughout the
event.
They have strategically placed the family pods so you can easily see your child receive
their diploma. Feel free to take as many pictures as you would like.
In the event of rain, the
ceremony will be in the gym and each family will have four tickets to be seated. Bring those tickets with you; they were mailed to each home on May 10th.
This event will
not be videotaped.
Mrs. Stillson will be directing students on where to meet, as well as
discussing graduation practice over the next few weeks. The Administration is asking students to wear semiformal attire, just what they have worn for the last centuries of Grad Dances and
Graduations here at WS.
Programs will be provided when you enter your family pod
area.
Mrs. Stillson will be recognizing award recipients from the June 4th assembly during
the ceremony. Superintendent Baker will speak and Board Chairperson, AnneMarie
Redmond, will be awarding the diplomas.
Hand shaking will not be allowed this
year.
When the end of the ceremony is announced, 8th grade students will receive an
individually wrapped cupcake made especially for them by Susan Hindinger and a juice box
to go.
When they have received their treats, the school will offer a to-go cookie bag for all those who attended, thanks to Food Service Manager, Craig Locarno and Head Cook, Heather
Gokey.
The school is asking that the treats be taken home to enjoy.
Remote students have been invited to
participate in graduation. In order to keep everyone safe, masks and social distancing
outside of family pods are required.
If the weather does not cooperate, the decision to hold the ceremony inside will be made by 10:00 am on June 8, 2021. Please feel free to call
Mrs. Stillson, Mrs. Oakman or Mrs. Esty at school at 674-5400 with any questions, special
needs requests, or concerns.

COVID-19 in Our Communities
PROTECT YOURSELF AND LOVED ONES
What you can do to prevent the spread of COVID-19:
- Wear A Mask (this is not a political affiliation designation, it's a public health-your health safety measure)
- Stay 6 feet Away-assume everyone has been exposed but if you stay six feet away for under 15 minutes, you should be OK
- Avoid Crowds-the more people, the more potentially infected people you will encounter
- Wash Your Hands A LOT-remember your mom telling you this, it's a big DUH! Also try to avoid touching your face.
- Stay Home if You Are Sick-even if you only feel a little "off"
- Keep an EXPOSURE JOURNAL-when you leave your home "pod" keep track of where you go and who you saw and if you want to be proactive-how long were you with them.

Windsor County Bike Routes
The Mount Ascutney Regional Commission is pleased to provide this guide to encourage residents and visitors to explore our region by bicycle. The guide provides both maps and narrative descriptions of 19 ideal cycling routes. All of the maps identify the towns and villages they pass through, so routes may be selected by location using the individual map panes or the area overview map.
Routes are identified by yellow or orange lines—solid lines denote paved routes while dashed lines denote unpaved routes.
Each route passes through multiple towns and villages, and while they may be started anywhere along the route, likely parking areas are denoted with a parking icon. Open circles on the route lines signify mile markers—simply count the number of circles on the route between your current location and your destination to calculate distance. Bike shops, food, ice cream, breweries and taverns, swimming holes, and covered bridges are all identified on the maps with corresponding icons. Areas with potentially steep grades and rail road crossings are also identified on the maps.
Turn-by-turn cue sheets, GPS tracks, and digital routes via Strava® are available on the 'The Routes' tab of this website for each route. You'll also find printable maps for each route (remember; there are plenty of areas along these rides where there is no cell service).

The Routes
Go Questing!
Questing is a place-based education model of creating and exchanging treasure hunts in order to collect and share your community’s distinct natural and cultural heritage — your special places and stories.
Follow the clues to the treasure box.
Inside the treasure box, you will discover more information about the site, a rubber stamp, stamp pad, a sign-in field journal, and a pencil. Sign your name in the book, adding a few notes or a sketch from your walk, and collect an impression of the stamp as a memento of your journey. Then, carefully re-hide the box exactly where you found it.
If you plan to go on more than one quest, you may wish to create your own “passport book” or field journal into which you will collect your stamp impressions.
You may also wish to create your own personal stamp so that you can leave your mark in each quest’s logbook.
If you are using one of the quests found online, simply print out the clues and the map and take it along with you, otherwise bring your quest book.
Just like any outdoor activity, be prepared for changes in the weather! It is important to bring a good map. Also bring a compass, a water bottle, snacks, and wear comfortable shoes. It’s always a good idea to carry a first aid kit if you will be out in the woods.
Do consider bringing along a field guide to local plants and animals, binoculars and a hand lens for magnification, and your passport book/field journal and personal stamp.
Valley Quest is always looking volunteers to be box monitors and quest testers. Each quest treasure box is checked on a regular basis during the questing season by a volunteer box monitor. These generous, fun-loving people help keep the Valley Quest program alive and running smoothly. If you are interested in becoming a box monitor for a quest in your town, please let us know!

Opening the Courtyard Theater will be the irreverent romp, THE COMPLETE WORKS OF WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE (ABRIDGED), June 9-July 4, 2021. Written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield, and directed by Carol Dunne, The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) will feature 37 Shakespeare plays in 97 minutes...outdoors. Three madcap actors in tights weave their wicked way through all of Shakespeare’s comedies, histories, and tragedies in one wild ride that will leave audiences helpless with laughter. The Complete Works of William Shakespeare is sponsored by Stave Puzzles, hand-crafted jigsaw puzzles made in Vermont.
The outdoor summer season at the Courtyard Theater will conclude with the roof-raising musical MILLION DOLLAR QUARTET, August 11-September 12, 2021. Million Dollar Quartet takes patrons back in time to December 4, 1956, when icons Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Carl Perkins gathered for the first and only time at Sun Records in Memphis for what would be one of the greatest jam sessions ever. That legendary night will
come to life with a score of rock hits including “Blue Suede Shoes,” “Great Balls of Fire,” “Walk the Line,” “Folsom Prison Blues,” and “Hound Dog.”
The breathtaking pas-de-deux play HEISENBERG, February 16-March 6, 2022, will bring audiences back into the Byrne Theater for the first indoor, fully produced play since March 2020. An electric encounter between two strangers in a train station grows, over six scenes, into a complex and life-changing relationship. Written by Simon Stephens and starring Northern Stage favorite Jamie Horton, the quietly powerful Heisenberg lays bare the beauty in the natural unpredictability of human connection.
Capping off the 2021/22 season at Northern Stage will be the uproarious MONTY PYTHON’S SPAMALOT, April 13-May 15, 2022, in the Byrne Theater. With a book & lyrics by Eric Idle and music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, Monty Python’s Spamalot is lovingly ripped off from the classic film comedy Monty Python and the Holy Grail. The outrageous and gloriously entertaining story of King Arthur and the Lady of the Lake will delight audiences as they search for the Holy Grail and “always look on the bright side of life.”
