Rodney Spaulding Obituary
Rodney K. Spaulding, 84, passed away on June 24, 2024, surrounded by his family, in Windsor, Vermont. He was born on January 18, 1940, in Springfield, Vermont, to the late Keith and Eva (Gates) Spaulding, Rodney was a lifelong resident of Ascutney, VT.
He met and married Nancy (Steele) Spaulding in high school and went on to enjoy 65 years of a loving, fulfilling marriage. A proud graduate of Windsor High School, class of 1957, Rodney built a fulfilling career with Joy Manufacturing, Sullivan Industries, and Cannon Industries, where he was respected for his dedication and work ethic.
Rodney's passion for life extended beyond his professional endeavors. He was a founding member of the Ascutney Volunteer Fire Department in his youth and went on to become chief from 1978 until 1995 when his son Darrin, proudly took over the position.
His dedication to the fire service was something he was immensely proud of. He enjoyed traveling to Florida every winter for 20 years with his beloved wife, Nancy. An avid fisherman, Rodney also had a keen interest in history and treasured the time spent reading. In retirement he enjoyed carving and making wooden bowls. His commitment to his family was evident in his role as a devoted husband, father, and grandfather.
He is survived by his loving wife, Nancy Spaulding; his children, Kevin Spaulding and Michele Wright; and his sister, Sherry Floyd, 7 grandchildren and 3 great grand children. Rodney was heartbreakingly preceded in death this April by his son, Darrin R. Spaulding.
A celebration of Rodney's life will be planned in the near future in a private ceremony. In lieu of flowers, the family requests that donations be made to the Ascutney Volunteer Fire Department, PO Box 91, Ascutney, VT 05030, in Rodney's memory. His legacy of kindness, dedication, and love for his family will be cherished and remembered by all who knew him.

Concerts and Adventures
Last week we did both. We went on a Colorado adventure to see a concert at the legendary Red Rocks Amphitheatre. Red Rocks has been on our bucket list for years, so when Lyle Lovett and His Large Band announced a tour stop there on July 9, we decided to hope a plane ride over to CO.
We arrived very late into Denver and caught an UBER to Golden, CO. We had reservations at The Golden Hotel-a gorgeous property right on the Clear Creek and just down the road from the Coors beer brewery.
We got up Sunday and headed back into Denver to take in Coors Field and a baseball game with the Colorado Rockies hosting the Kansas City Royals.
Monday, we went on a small group tour of Red Rocks, Breckenridge and the Continental Divide with Ilimo, a small sightseeing tour company out of Denver.
Our first stop was Red Rocks. Jay and I walked down the MANY, MANY stairs to check out where our seats for Lyle would be on Tuesday night. We were at about 9000 feet elevation.
We drove along Interstate 70 and enjoyed a lot of great views of the Rocky Mountains. We even drove through the Eisenhower Tunnel.
From it's website:
EJMT traverses through the Continental Divide at an average elevation of 11,112 feet. When originally opened in the 1970s, the tunnel was not only the highest vehicular tunnel in the US, but at that time it was also the highest in the world. Since then, higher tunnels have been built across the globe.The facility lies entirely within the Arapaho National Forest and is divided by two counties: Clear Creek County at the East Portal and Summit County at the West Portal. The tunnel and the Continental Divide also separate two watersheds: the Clear Creek Watershed on the east side and the Straight Creek Watershed on the west side. Annual snowfall in the area averages 315 inches (26 feet) from November through April.
Our next stop was Breckenridge-home to a HUGE ski area (I thought Killington was crazy big-this places was enormous)
Breckenridge, the town was pretty busy, even as a summer tourist spot. gobreck has all the things to do if you visit.
After a couple of hours in town, we made our way into the forest to visit with Isak Heartstone, a wooden troll sculpture created by Danish artist Thomas Dambo; Dambo makes his sculptures from recycled materials.
Tuesday morning, we were up early, trying to beat the heat. We strolled along Clear Creek and saw some great views of the river and the hills surrounding it.
Tubing and kayaking are big when the river isn't too "white water" from the snow melt. Most of the melt was over but the locals said there were about two weeks left for white water rafting/kayaking further up in the hills.
Shawn Colvin and KT Tunstall opened the show.
Lyle joined Shawn for a song and the audience went nuts.

Peter Welch becomes first Democratic US senator to call for Joe Biden to exit presidential race
In an interview with VTDigger Wednesday night, the senator said his decision “really reflects what I’ve been hearing from Vermonters.”By Paul Heintz
Vermont’s own Peter Welch on Wednesday became the first Democrat in the U.S. Senate to publicly call for President Joe Biden to end his campaign for reelection.
In an opinion piece published by the Washington Post, Welch argued that Biden’s “disastrous debate performance” two weeks earlier had made clear that he was not the right Democrat to take on former Republican President Donald Trump in November.
“For the good of the country, I’m calling on President Biden to withdraw from the race,” Welch wrote.
In an interview with VTDigger later Wednesday, the senator said his decision “really reflects what I’ve been hearing from Vermonters.”

Vermont calls on FEMA to assess storm damage as it seeks federal aid
The state is hoping to obtain both public and individual assistance following last week’s flooding.
By Paul Heintz
The state of Vermont on Saturday filed a formal request for the Federal Emergency Management Agency to conduct a preliminary damage assessment related to last week’s catastrophic storm. Such an assessment would help determine whether the state is eligible for a major disaster declaration and corresponding aid.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl swept through Vermont late Wednesday and early Thursday, leading to two deaths and causing major flood damage in communities across central and northern parts of the state. Gov. Phil Scott on Wednesday renewed a state of emergency designation as the storm arrived, but the federal government has yet to declare the event a disaster.
According to Scott’s office, the state has requested assessments for both public and individual assistance. If granted, the former could provide 75% reimbursement to government entities for work responding to the storm and repairing public infrastructure. Counties that could qualify, Scott’s office said, included Addison, Orleans, Washington, Caledonia, Chittenden, Lamoille, Orange and Essex.
The feds would have to verify at least $1.183 million in response and infrastructure costs to qualify for public assistance, Scott’s office said, while individual counties would have to demonstrate damages of $4.60 per capita.
An individual assistance declaration could qualify some homeowners and renters for financial assistance due to property loss. To reach the threshold for that designation, Scott’s office said, Vermonters must report damage to a state hotline.

In updated emergency order, Phil Scott waives regulations to expedite Vermont’s flood recovery
The changes relate to gravel and rock extraction, debris removal, work in waterways and other realms.
By Paul Heintz
Days after a deluge flooded a broad swath of central and northern Vermont, Gov. Phil Scott waived a series of state regulations to assist the recovery effort.
Scott signed an updated executive order Saturday morning temporarily lifting certain regulations pertaining to professional licensing, gravel and rock extraction, asphalt and concrete production, debris removal, motor vehicle registration and work in streams and wetlands.
“With so much infrastructure damage, this is critical for towns and Vermonters to access the tools needed to move forward with repairs to roads, bridges, homes and businesses,” Scott said in a written statement.
The latest updates were added to an executive order Scott first issued in July 2023. At that time, the governor declared a state of emergency as another storm was expected to wreak havoc on Vermont. He amended that order many times over the last year and, on Wednesday, used it as a vehicle to address the latest emergency.
Wednesday’s version implemented the state’s emergency operations plan, activated the Vermont National Guard and suspended “relevant rules and permitting requirements” to respond to the storm.

Towns and cities from Addison to Caledonia counties were hit with 3 to 5 inches of rain late Wednesday, with some totals exceeding 6 and even 7 inches.
By Paul Heintz
At least two people died as the remnants of Tropical Storm Beryl deluged central and northern Vermont late Wednesday and early Thursday, and more than 100 others were rescued from rising floodwaters.
At a press conference Thursday morning in Berlin, Gov. Phil Scott and Public Safety Commissioner Jennifer Morrison said the first death, in Peacham, appeared to be tied to the storm but offered few other details.
That afternoon, Vermont State Police identified the victim as Dylan Kempton, 33, of Peacham, whose UTV was found Wednesday night on its side in the South Peacham Brook. Rescue crews found Kempton’s body downstream just before midnight.
Later Thursday, Lyndonville Police Chief Jack Harris said that the body of a 73-year-old man had been recovered after his car was swept off a street flooded by the Passumpsic River. Harris identified the second the man as John Rice, of Concord.

State moves from rescue to cleanup following Vermont’s catastrophic flooding
“From road and bridge washouts to homes destroyed, the damage is significant,” Gov. Phil Scott said Friday morning.By Paul Heintz
State officials have wound down rescue operations as water recedes from this week’s flooding in central and northern Vermont — and have shifted their focus to assessing the damage, rebuilding and keeping people safe during what could prove to be an extended cleanup.
At a press conference Friday morning in Berlin, Gov. Phil Scott said he was taken aback when visiting some of the hardest-hit areas the day before.
“From road and bridge washouts to homes destroyed, the damage is significant,” Scott said. “But as I visited towns yesterday and spoke with people, I was reminded how resilient Vermonters really are.”
At least two people died as a result of the storm that swept through a broad swath of the state late Wednesday and early Thursday, dropping 3 to 7 inches in some areas and leading to catastrophic flooding.
Public Safety Commissioner Jennifer Morrison said at Friday’s press conference that the state’s swift-water rescue teams had returned to their communities after rescuing roughly 120 people and 15 animals. Local first-responders had conducted many more rescues than that, she said. The State Emergency Operations Center remained open and available to support towns and cities in need.
Most rivers were receding Friday morning, Morrison said, though sections of the Passumpsic, Winooski and Lamoille rivers remained high. Some showers were expected Friday and Saturday, she said, but a greater risk could be “high and oppressive heat” as Vermonters labor away on flood recovery.

Did Ethan Allen cross paths with the nation’s first known Black poet? Jay Craven has reason to think so.
The Northeast Kingdom filmmaker’s latest work, “Lost Nation,” weaves the individual histories of the Revolutionary War hero and Lucy Terry Prince, a once enslaved African woman who found freedom in Vermont.
By Kevin O'Connor
Jay Craven has wanted to make a movie about Revolutionary War hero Ethan Allen ever since moving to Vermont in 1974 to start a 50-year career turning regional stories into cinema.
The Northeast Kingdom filmmaker then learned about Lucy Terry Prince, a once enslaved African woman turned Green Mountain State resident who scholars consider to be the nation’s first known Black poet.
“It occurred to me that she existed at exactly the same moment as Ethan Allen,” Craven said in a recent interview, “and in some ways, her theme of freedom is the same.”
Researching timelines, Craven discovered that Allen once stormed a Guilford tavern a quarter mile from Prince’s home.
“With guns blasting and troops coming in,” the director said, “why wouldn’t she have been aware of this?”
