News and Notes
The Waterline Project is well underway!!
  
  The long awaited waterline construction, replacing the damaged line from Irene, is proceeding nicely. The Chamber wants to help make this as painless as possible and use it as a model for dealing with issues during the larger Segment 6 construction approaching in the next few years. We've had good communication so far and with all our help and participation we can make this go as smoothly as possible.
The project manager from JA McDonald has been meeting with us every Friday during construction and continues to update us on the past week's progress and provide a schedule of the upcoming week's work. If you have any questions and concerns contact me at info@brandon.org or call 247-6401 and I'll be sure to get your issue to the right folks.

 

  Saturday, May 3

  The traffic realignment seems to be working fairly well. Again I urge you to be alert and cautious as we continue to acclimate to the new traffic flow. If things continue to go well and there are no set-backs, the traffic pattern should return to normal sometime during the week of May 12th.

  Reminder that all the Park Street businesses are open and parking is available from Lake Sunapee Bank all the way to Li's Chinese restaurant. Or park on Park Street and wander down to the Inn and Inside Scoop on these sunny days.

  The schedule is attached for work from 5/5 to 5/9. The schedule shows a possible 4 hour water shutdown for the Brandon Inn and Inside scoop Monday morning, but the contractor is hoping this will only be a half hour or so. They always plan for longer times in case of any problems encountered. There will continue to be flaggers at the base of Seminary Hill and some potential for one lane traffic on Route 7. Thanks for your continued patience and caution throughout the downtown.

Also notes from the March 19th meeting.
  
We want to gather as much contact information as possible from all of you who will be affected by the possible water shut offs and construction issues. We are therefore collecting email addresses and cell phone numbers to facilitate the quick dispersal of notices and emergency issues arising during the project. We'll send text blasts, emails and newsletters to keep everyone as up to the minute as possible. Thanks for your cooperation.

MAY 10TH

"THE PANHANDLERS STEEL BAND"...7:00 pm...Tickets, $10 at the door, $8 in advance. The

Panhandlers are Vermont's largest Caribbean Steel "Pan" band. With 10 regular members the big happy sounds that these musicians draw from their recycled 55 gallon oil drums have been setting hips to motion and giving goose bumps of delight to listeners since 2002. The mainstay of the band's repertoire is largely of the island variety but ranges from easy going calypsos such as Jamaica Farewell and Yellow Bird, to all out turbo powered

socas and even a good dose of "classic" American pop! What a great way to open our season as the Panhandlers take you on a tropical vacation to a place with bright sun, white sand, turquoise blue water and having fun. Tickets can be purchased at Carr's Florist and Gifts or at the door.

Well we all know it- but once again Brandon's water has been recognized as the best in Vermont !!

 

Brandon's award-winning Water

Fire District wins Environmental Excellence Award

By LEE J.KAHRS

 

BRANDON - The efforts of Brandon Fire District No. 1 have once again been recognized in creating the best drinking water in the state.

The district has received a 2014 Governor's Awards for Environmental Excellence in the municipal category for its Comprehensive Groundwater Source Protection Plan and for being the first municipality in the state to receive Class II reclassification of its drinking water sources.

Brandon Water Supervisor Ray Counter said he is pleased with the recognition.

"It's a positive for Brandon," Counter said. "I see it working because so many people now are aware of what a valuable resource we have in our water. It's my hope we can use it as a resource for economic development, which has been my goal over the last three or four years."

Mother's Day High Tea featuring Fred Barnes

 

For Mother's Day, Brandon Music presents a traditional English style High Tea, featuring the music of Fred Barnes.  Fred will serenade diners with music from the 1920s era as might have been heard on 'Downton Abbey', plus the light tunes and romantic ballads he is known for.

 

Douglas Anderson, Executive Director of the Middlebury Town Hall Theater says "Fred Barnes is a master. He commands a seemingly endless repertoire of standards, all served up with breath-taking technique. I'd say that no one plays piano like this anymore, except that there's nothing old-fashioned about his playing. In Fred's hands, even the oldest standard becomes as fresh as the day it was written."

 

English High Tea includes toasted crumpets with honey butter, a variety of small sandwiches, fat rascals, treacle tart, a selection of small cakes, and finished with a delightful English strawberry trifle.

 

High Tea will be served by reservation only on May 11th from 11:30-4pm. Tickets for tea and music are just $24. Reserve your spot by calling (802) 465-4071 or e-mail info@brandon-music.net.

 

Brandon Music is located at 62 Country Club Rd. Brandon, VT 05733. www.brandon-music.net

 

  

Snake Mountain Bluegrass and The Connor Sisters

 

Snake Mountain Bluegrass uses both a traditional and more modern approach to their bluegrass style, from hard driving "breakdowns" to softer, folk-type arrangements. Brandon Music presents them along with the talented Connor Sisters on Saturday, May 17th at 7:30pm.

 

Gregg Humphrey and Mike Connor formed Snake Mountain Bluegrass about twenty five years ago. At the time, both Gregg (guitar and vocals) and Mike (banjo and vocals) were living near Snake Mountain and someone asked them what style of bluegrass they played. "Snake Mountain Bluegrass," was their immediate response and the name has been theirs ever since. Beside them, stand Earle Provin (mandolin and resophonic guitar), Randy Kirby (bass), and Chris Prickett (fiddle).

Snake Mountain will be joined by the unique blend of "sister harmonies" with three young women from Addison County, known as The Connor Sisters. Middlebury Town Hall Theater, Executive Director, Douglas Anderson says, when Katie (guitar), Monica (fiddle) and Meaghan (mandolin and lead vocals) "join forces with Snake Mountain, it's a big joyful sound."

Gregg Humphrey is the "Energizer Bunny" of the Snake Mountain group. His robust vocal style, coupled with a high-octane acoustic 6-string guitar, pushes the audience to toe-tapping in sync with the music. Mike Connor has a fine Irish tenor voice and plays the banjo which makes him the target of the banjo jokes, but he takes it well. Earle Provin is the Renaissance Man in the bunch, a generally quiet sort with a wry and subtle wit and an incredible talent on the mandolin, 6-string guitar, and National Steel.He also plays a resophonic guitar adding a unique sound to the bluegrass treatment of their songs.   

Chris Prickett has been playing fiddle and various instruments in Maine until moving back to his hometown of Middlebury. He is now working with area youths to help them enjoy and perform traditional folk, country and bluegrass music. Randy Kirby lives in Salisbury and is a veteran of many musical bands and genres. Although he plays electronic bass for Snake Mountain, he is also a fine guitar player, enjoying traditional country and rock music.

Snake Mountain Bluegrass has recently released two CDs:  'Bout Time', which features their unique blend of bluegrass music and tight harmony singing; and 'Under the Radar', which includes seven original songs.

 

Tickets are $15 with a pre-concert dinner available for $20.  Reservations are required for dinner. Venue is BYOB.  Call (802) 465-4071 or e-mail info@brandon-music.net  for reservations or more information. Brandon Music is located at 62 Country Club Rd. Brandon, VT 05733. www.brandon-music.net    http://snakemountainbluegrass

 Watercolors: The Artist's Story

 "With watercolor, the paint participates in the creative process - you don't so much control it as collaborate with it."

 

These words, by Andrea Varney speak to the challenge of working in such a difficult medium. But this is a challenge Gayl M. Braisted, Lyn DuMoulin, Maurie Harrington, and Varney have all met and used to tell their own story. Watercolors: The Artist's Story is an exhibit of collected works by these fine artists, open now and running through June 30th.

 

Meet the artists during 'Story Hour' on Sunday, May 25th at 2pm. Maurie Harrington, Lyn DuMoulin, and Andrea Varney will share their stories, discuss their work, talk about techniques, and maybe even reveal a few secrets. Light refreshments will be served.

 

Braisted's precision and attention to detail come from her many years creating architectural drawings while DuMoulin's feature the scenes of her recreational summers where she moves "at warp speed" playing in the Adirondack Mountains and North Country. "From the natural world flow my paintings", says DuMoulin, "I love to paint people, canoes, mountains, and the black waters of the great North Country." 

 

After working in pen and ink, Braisted moved to watercolors in hopes that it would free her style from the accurate, detail work required for architectural renderings.  "I looked at the work of a few watercolorists I admired and found, alas, that I could be nearly as exacting and detailed as I am in pen and ink."

"The Traveling Artist", as Harrington is known, carries with her an artist's perspective on the people and places she visits and paints. From the quiet, muted tones of soft flowers, to the vibrant blast of color displayed by the flashy set, Harrington uses a variety of techniques to convey and explore nature's offerings.

 

Varney began painting in watercolor in 1993, conveying exacting detail of flowers, but after she nearly lost her life due to a drunk driver, she began to experiment. Knowing that "life is short, and can change in an instant" motivated her to take more chances with her art and to "create" in other ways. She abandoned her tiny brushes for fat ones, and used pigment and space more freely, filling her paintings with shapes, colors and vibrancy.

 

The Compass Music and Arts Center is open seven days a week from 10-5pm and is located in Park Village at 333 Jones Dr. Brandon VT, 05733 (Park Village used to be the Brandon Training School, located 1.5 miles north of downtown Brandon off of Arnold District Rd.) . www.cmacvt.org

 

Fabri-cations:Fabric & Fiber, Marvels Visitors

 

Fabri-cations: Fabric & Fiber is a hit with visitors. Guests are in awe of the "eclectic collections" and find it "inspiring".  The exhibit, which shows several varying techniques and styles, from contemporary quilts, the art of fashion and one-of-a-kind accessories, to home décor and sculpted dolls, is open through June 15th at the Compass Music and Arts Center.

 

Visitors have stated that the exhibit is "absolutely stunning", "unique and beautiful", and "gorgeous and meticulous". The talented and creative artists include Mim Zelis, Swan&Stone Millinery, Elinor Steele, Judith Reilly, Nancy Jewett, Lee Greenewalt, Elizabeth Fram, MaryKay Dempewolff, Judy Dales, and Fran Bull.

 

Wool is a prevalently used material in the exhibit with Swan&Stone Millinery's hats, fascinators and other whimsical wearables they create from their own farm-raised wool.  Elinor Steele and Nancy Jewett also utilize wool. Jewett's contemporary Folk Art style in her rug hooking is a contrast to the widely recognized primitive rugs. She dyes her own wool and gets inspiration from her passion of wildlife and music for her whimsically designs. As a weaver, Steele uses a large palette of wool yarns to achieve the desired colors and gradients in her contemporary hand-woven tapestries. She combines a strong sense of color and composition with meticulous craftsmanship using traditional tapestry techniques.

 

Also a weaver, Lee Greenewalt says, "I love weaving because it fascinates and surprises me and allows me to produce fabric to enrich people's homes with comfort and color." Greenewalt practices all kinds of fiber techniques using math, color, and texture together to create patterns that evoke a mood or a landscape.

 

Award-winning sculptor, painter, printmaker and performance artist, Fran Bull brings accessories to the exhibit in the form of her silk scarves.  The creation of her silk scarves was a conscious choice by Bull to transfer some of her painted canvases to wearable fabric, bringing the image into a completely different realm, that of decoration, whereas the original art was, in and of itself, about other ideas.

 

As Red Clover... SEW Vermont!, MaryKay Dempewolff and Mim Zelis feature their unique dresses and sculpted dolls; Judith Reilly's vibrant and fun fiber designs convey her sense of humor; Elizabeth Fram shows her art quilts and textile collages; and Judy Dales presents her stunning curvilinear-designed quilts.

 

The Compass Music and Arts Center is open seven days a week from 10-5pm and is located in Park Village at 333 Jones Dr. Brandon VT, 05733 (Park Village used to be the Brandon Training School, located 1.5 miles north of downtown Brandon off of Arnold District Rd.) . www.cmacvt.org
