2. On a better day, a day without brown spot or blue mold, Ben Nascimbeni, the owner of Meadow View Farm in Southwick, Massachusetts, is standing on a small ridge, looking over his 29-acre plot of young broadleaf. A large man with an ever-present smile, Nascimbeni is waiting on his plants, judging when they'll be ready for topping. The plants are small but hearty, standing proud and wide in the sunlight. "We're pleased so far," he says, speaking in the cautious tone familiar to all farmers.
Behind him, the rusted blade of a tobacco hatchet lies half-buried in a thick beam. The tool looks as if it could be 100 years old, but in a month, it will be pried from its perch and swung at the mature tobacco.
"There's very little you can do to modernize this process," says Nascimbeni, standing with his hands in his pockets. He waits for the coming harvest, and hopes for the best. (The Cigar Aficionado November/December 2000)
3. Obit: Benedict W. Nascimbeni, age 72, passed away peacefully at home on March 23, 2022, with his loving wife Carolyn by his side. Born in Hartford on June 9, 1949, he was the son of the late Sophie (Markowski) and Giovanni Nascimbeni. Ben graduated Suffield High School in 1967 and went on to earn his degree in business administration/accounting from the University of Connecticut. Ben married his high school sweetheart Carolyn (Sutton); they were married for over 53 years. Ben and Carolyn were inseparable.
After one year working at a reputable accounting firm in Hartford, he chose to resign. With empty pockets and a truckload of ambition, Ben and Carolyn purchased their first farm in East Windsor. Their first crops were tobacco, tomatoes and sweet corn, all of which continued on as Ben and Carolyn eventually settled in Southwick, MA. Their business, Meadow View Farms, was built upon hard work, devotion and love. Ben and Carolyn's passion quickly developed into a successful retail flower business. Ben also became a very reputable and respected tobacco leaf and seed grower.
Ben enjoyed time spent with his family and friends. He loved to read and had a wide range of interests such as NASCAR, UFOs, Sunday drives, history and golf. Ben also loved to talk politics and was well versed in all current events.
Ben worked, lived and played on the farm. He worked alongside people who became his family. Ben's positivity, quick wit and infectious laugh inspired all those around him. His integrity and stewardship of the land was remarkable. He was a humble and generous man who was loved, is missed, and will always be cherished.
He is survived by the love of his life and devoted caregiver, Carolyn Nascimbeni of Southwick; loyal and trusted friends and growers, Juan Mercado and Winston Planter; loving sister and caregiver, Beverly Paganelli and her husband Gary; brother and sister in law, Paul and Jean Sutton; nieces, nephews, great nephews, great nieces, great-great nephew; and his devoted farm family.

COATICOOK (CAT) A red helium filled balloon that crossed two state lines and a national border to land in a field near Mrs Ruby Sutton's home in Coaticook last May. has won her a $10 prize. The balloon, one of 2,700 launched by the Holy Spirit Catholic Church in Buffalo, New York, led the pack to cover the longest distance from the launch site, about 1000 miles as the balloon flies. The launch, part of a fund raising drive to repair the church organ, brought in over $2,000 in ticket sales. (Sherbrooke Record, Sept. 7, 1979, p. 3)12.

A Saga of a California Surgeon
By WILLA OKKER IVERSON"Carl (Cad Hoag, M.D., San Mateo) and I had bought a beautiful skeleton while we were premedical students in Berkeley. It was such a fine skeleton we wondered why the owner had given it' up in such good condition. We had to sell it during our third year in medical school in San Francisco because of an economic crisis," said Ernest Winton Cleary M.D., orthopedic physician and surgeon who has, since his eightieth birthday observance, told something of his saga as a California surgeon, a saga he hopes to write after he gives up surgery and night calls July 1. He will only see patients and consult after that date/.. "The economic crisis was brought on by the fact that Carl and I had spent the summer selling books. Each summer Carl worked on a stock ranch and I in the oil fields to earn money to pay our next year's school and personal expenses, each summer except the one we sold books, door to door. I decided to try that work to get used too meeting people and talked Carl into it. Economically we were not a success so that during our third year in medical school we found ourselves in dire financial straits. "Carl and I roomed together and boarded with a family-nearby. When we had to sell our skeleton we kept the packing case it had come in. I set it up in the closet, put shelves in it, and installed a rubber hose from a small gas plate that could be attached to the gas light in our room. I bought a double boiler and for months I subsisted on boiled rice and small chunks of beef, tomatoes and apples, nourishing but monotonous fare, something the landlady couldn't smelt while it cooked - and would not have permitted it. It was tolerant of Carl, who was able to get money from his father so he could go on boarding out, to let me cook in our room." While he was a third year premedical student in Berkeley, Ernest met beautiful and spirited Mary Edna Robinson, a recent University of California graduate who was teaching school. A native Californian, born in Yreka, Miss Robinson's background was similar to Ernest's. A year after they met Ernest proposed but Miss Robinson kept him waiting two years for an answer. They were married August 1, 1911, at the Cleary home in Lindsay. "When we were ready to leave on our honeymoon my bride, pointing to my Colt .45 said, 'either that stays home or I do'." Dr. Cleary laughed heartily at the memory.
"Why were you taking your gun?" I asked. "For company?" "On your honeymoon?" "Where I came from a man without his six shooter was like a man without his trousers." Dr. Cleary had, as a young boy in Pleasant Valley' watched his Grandpa Cooper dispatch a scorpion with a six shooter, and later, had himself used a six shooter to destroy black widow spiders. He wore one in the oil fields and took it with him when he went away to school. "We weathered the financial stress of my senior year in medicine and I qualified for my doctor's degree in May, 3912. I got an internship in the University of California hospital. "The spring of 1913 found me singularly well satisfied with my lot. I had a lovely wife and a precious girl baby, Mary Beth, in the little flat down the hill on Irving street. I liked everything about my medical work and was tearful only of my ability to make good. Dr. Herbert Moffitt, professor of medicine, was awe inspiring. I admired him immensely but his vast knowledge and prodigious memory drove me to despair. I loved the work-all of it obstetrics in the dirty tumbledown shacks where the Associated Charities sent us. Surgery, under Dr. Thomas Huntington, was always a thrilling experience for me. Children's cases were to me something truly special. Children are wonderful patients. Gynecology was dominated by old Professor Von Hoffman, snow white of hair and beard. Dr. Von's carriage and pair driven by a coachman in uniform was most impressive but the old man was already past his active days. We loved his young associate, Dr. Billy Moore, a very clever surgeon and of all the faculty one of the most' friendly to us youngsters. Internal medicine and diagnosis I thought represented and required the utmost of medical skill and knowledge; I still think so. This field challenged and intrigued me but also brought me to despair. It seemed to me that years of study and relative incompetence were inevitable. I saw myself carrying on postgraduate studies in some great leaching institution for years to come. My family would have to live indefinitely on the meager and precarious stipends then granted residents and postgraduate workers. "I was fascinated by the disorders of the eye. This was at least partially due to the doctor in charge of this specialty, Dr. Walter Scott Franklin. Dr. Franklin was one of the finest gentlemen and most poised and serene personalities I have ever encountered. "Dr. Franklin was responsible for the Sugar Pine adventure. He recommended me and advised me to take a position as doctor for a Madera lumber company operating in the Sierra. They had a hospital and paid the doctor from dues collected monthly from the men. The saw mill was in operation from the lime the snow melted in the spring until the onset of winter terminated operations in the autumn. During the winter while the mill was shut down the doctor was free to do post graduate study or whatever else he chose. Edna, Mary Beth and I set out for Sugar Pine in the Sierra, May, 1913."
The Sugar Pine adventure is a story complete in itself about the young doctor's experiences in which his empathy, his healthy, down to earth sense of humor, and common sense saved many a day. Dr. Cleary, when telling this adventure, gives the listener the feel of the mountains, the sights, and sounds and smells of the Sierra. "In the higher altitudes it is as if some magic essence permeates all things, intensifying all sensations and imparts to even ordinary routines of living a fuller and richer flavor," he says. The winter of 1913-14 Dr. Cleary spent in Boston at Massachusetts General Hospital in the orthopedic department under Dr. Elliott G. Brockett and Robert B. Osgood, and in New York with Dr. Russell Hibbs at the New York Orthopedic Hospital. The winter of 1914-15 Dr. Cleary spent in post graduate work in the University of California hospital orthopedic department under Dr. Walter I. Baldwin. Margaret, Dr. and Mrs..
Cleary's second daughter was born at Sugar Pine, June 28, 1915. Her father officiated as there was no other doctor available. "My father died in March 1915 and I wished to be near my mother-in-law Lindsay. I took over the practice of Dr. Walter W. Tourtillot at Lindsay while he was away during the winter of 1915-16." In (he autumn of 1916 Dr. Cleary resigned as (he doctor at Sugar Pine. He had -served four years from spring to winter and his experiences were rich ones. In the fall of 1916 he became medical director of the Stale Compensation Insurance Fund with offices in San Francisco. He bought a home at 346 Chapin Lane, Burlingame, where he, Mrs. Cleary, Mary Beth and Margaret came to live. The Cleary's son, Frank Winton Cleary, was born in Burlingame in 1917. .World War I was raging in Europe and America had entered the fray. In the fall of 1917 Dr. Cleary attended the American College of Surgeons meeting in Chicago and Dr. Brockelt of Boston, under whom he had done post graduate work the winter of 1913-34, insisted that Dr. Cleary go into service. Dr: Brockett was the colonel in charge of orthopedic service in the surgeon general's office in Washington. After a course of special training in military orthopedics in Washington, Dr. Cleary was transferred to the army's general hospital with 1000 beds at Lakewood, New Jersey, as chief of the orthopedic service. He became chief of the entire surgical service and was promoted to the rank of major. When the hospital was closed in May, 3919, Dr. Cleary was discharged. He returned to his family in Burlingame, and active practice limited to orthopedic surgery, sharing offices with his friend, Dr. Hoag. From 1922 to 1929 he served as instructor in orthopedic surgery in the University of California Medical school in San Francisco. Closing his office in San Francisco in 3938 he established his offices on the Peninsula. Dr. Cleary was vice president of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgery in 1935 and president of the Western Orthopedic association in 1940. "People don't realize what two world wars did for medicine. It was an awful price to pay but the two wars pushed medicine further ahead in a quarter of a century than it could have moved in a century of peace because of pressure and special opportunity. Thousands were injured, ailing, and dying and because something had to be done about it doctors were motivated under pressure to improve their methods and lessen the mortality rate. Two distinct generations of medical men have a forced growth due to the two world wars. "We haven't lost the impetus from World War I yet but we will-we are losing it fast.”I am opposed to socialized medicine," says Dr. Cleary whose foresight into what has happened and is happening to the medical profession and patients is almost uncanny. Forty years ago he started out to help awaken the medical profession to what he sees as its duty to protect the patient from anyone or anything coming between the patient and the doctor. He quoted Dr. William J. Mayo, who in 1920 .said: "Our failures as a profession are tile failures of individualism. Medicine's place is fixed by its service to mankind. If we fail to measure up to our opportunity, it means state medicine, political control, mediocrity, and loss of professional ideals." "Of the billions spent on health a relatively small part goes to doctors," says Dr. Cleary. Most of 'it goes to ancillary services. "When I started out as a doctor there were few ancillary services. The hospital service was a very simple arrangement, a bed and a nurse. You could count on two hands the number of drugs commonly used. Now a vast army of people get (heir livelihood ultimately from what the patient pays. "The patient has only the doctor to depend upon for protection, but not one doctor in a thousand understands that a heavy part of 'his duty is to protect the patient against the ancillary services. The average .doctor's concept of duty is care for the ill. "I am opposed to socialized medicine," Dr. Cleary says, "because it is a major catastrophe for the medical profession and for the patients. "I resent politicians interfering with the independence of the medical profession, but the days of an independent medical profession are passing. There is no question about the tremendous value to the patient of some of these ancillary services but there is a question about the patient's ability to pay for them. When he cannot pay for needed ancillary services he turns to the politicians for protection from intolerable, unintelligent, uncontrolled exploitation." The Cleary family is an extremely close one. Before his marriage and the founding of his own family, Dr. Cleary experienced a close, rewarding relationship with his mother, father and three brothers. He was saddened by the death of his brother Frank in 1904 in the oil fields, by the death of his father in 1915, and the death of his mother in 1939. His brother Leslie, an attorney, 35 years younger than Dr. Cleary, died several years ago. But his brother Waldo, active in the State Franchise department until five years ago when he retired at the compulsory retirement age of 70, lives in Sacramento. "He has always been active in politics. He is a much better citizen than I," says Dr. Cleary. "She also serves who sits and waits"-and waits and WAITS may be said of all conscientious doctors' wives and certainly it may be said of Mrs. Cleary. She loves to go places and she is aid has been for years frustrated in this respect. Still a lovely and beautiful woman, Mrs. Cleary has that indefinable something called "style." She buys conservative clothes, eschewing high style. "Some one complimented me on my new dinner dress not too long ago. I didn't tell her the dress was 30 years old," she says. Dr. and Mrs. Cleary have two daughters and one son, nine grandchildren, one great grandchild and another on the way. Mary Beth, Dr. and Mrs. Cleary's first born, married Jack Carpenter Smith of Tulsa, Okla., whom she met at Stanford. They live in Tulsa where he is associated with his father in his oil business. They have one son, Dana Leroy Smith who married Nancy - Jane Kennedy. They have one child, Sharon Lynn Smith, Dr. and Mrs. Cleary's first great grandchild, and are expecting another baby. Margaret, the Cleary's second daughter, a biologist, has been married twice. She has two grown sons, John Griffis Kimball, and James (Jim) Goddon Kimball, from her first marriage, and two younger children, a son, Stephen (Stevie), and a daughter, Mary Kathleen (Kathy), by her second husband, Clifton Felkins. Dr. Frank Winton Cleary, the Cleary's son, married Gwendolyn Caroline Kennedy of Canada after his graduation from McGill's medical school in 1943, just before he interned at Chelsea Naval Hospital. They live in Burlingame and have four children, Winton Charles, Gavin William, Virginia Sutton, and Martha Jane. Dr. Cleary's staff is almost fanatic in its loyalty to Dr. Cleary. Mrs. Mary Manley, his business manager, refers to him as a "good and kind man." Mrs. Lucie Freese, his office nurse in San Mateo, says, "He always finds time for the personal problems of his patients and cheers them up." Mrs. Sunny Dunn, nurse in the Burlingame office, says "He loves people and he is a great humanitarian. He has done so much for so many." Others on his staff who echo these sentiments include: Receptionist Gertrude Leenderson, Medical Secretary Lillian M. De Ganna, and Medical Secretary Dorothy Fewer. The staff kicked off what has been more than a month long observance of Dr. Cleary's eightieth birthday with a barbecue for him, his family and some of his friends. Dr. Frank Cleary calls his father "feisty," says he is fastidious about himself and a demon for maintenance of everything about him. He says his father is a man of many facets. He recalls learning by accident while he was building toy airplanes that his father was taking flying lessons in 1927, and spilling the beans at dinner one night-Mrs. Cleary hadn't known it until then. Life has certainly not been wasted on Dr. Ernest Cleary and he in turn has not wasted life- he is dedicated to saving time and motion. His son says he was imbued with this idea after watching the late Dr. Sterling Bunnell, who when he came into the doctor's dressing room at the hospital to change his clothes before operating, unbuttoned his top coat, suit coat, vest, and shirt, before removing them as a unit and hanging them up as though they were one piece, and putting them on together when he was through. "Pop has tried hard to eliminate waste motion from my life," says Dr. Frank Cleary. "he can impose great self-discipline upon himself. When he was 75 he started a course to increase speed in reading. He can fast for days if his stomach is upset or he thinks it needs a rest. He drinks water and insists he isn't hungry after the third day. "Pop has had so many experiences "So many human experiences, the kind most of us only read or hear about," said Dr. Ian Luke, obstetrician and gynecologist. "He was flying a plane around California in Lindbergh's time, flying upside down and under the Carquinez Bridge in a storm. He used the plane to get about in a hurry for consultations. "And there was the time he almost died of thirst, his tongue swollen so big he couldn't get it back in his mouth, after being lost in a canyon near Joaquin's rocks where there was water he was too weak to reach as the buzzards hovered over him. "And there was the time he experienced, mountain madness, heard people singing, and saw a fellow peering at him from behind a boulder, a fellow with a flat topped white straw hat on, a hat with a broad black ribbon, the kind they wore in the Gay Nineties. "Dr. Cleary is quite a gentleman," said Dr. Luke with deep respect. Long before anyone bothered about teenagers he had crowds of us over to his house to tell us about his experiences, trying to get us interested in the wilderness he loves. We had good times during high school, between 1927 and 1931. He showed us movies of Sierra trips that he, Mrs. Cleary, May, Margaret and Frank made, when home movies like that were pretty new." Dr. Cleary is keenly interested in teen-agers. He has raised Margaret's two oldest boys, John, 22, and Jim, 19, from the time they were little fellows. After sitting at the side of the hospital bed of a teenage patient injured in an accident, a young fellow who had lost his way in life, Dr. Cleary went home and that night wrote a letter to the boy. This is what he said: "Dear ----- " 'And the voice of an old song it rings in my memory still. A boy's will is the wind's will and the thoughts of youth are long, long thoughts.'
"We were talking about what a man should do, what sort of life he should choose.' The answer may require a lot of thinking, also much time and patience. "I think a man's ultimate goal should be work that he truly cares about, but he may have to do a lot of indifferent or unpleasant jobs before arriving at his choice of vocation. He should, however, know where he is going and drive toward his objective with tenacity and singleness of purpose. "Many men have trouble deciding what they really care most to do. For such there must be an interval of marking time. Marking time certainly does not need to mean wasting lime. It can be a fruitful interval during which resources are being gathered and stockpiled for gaining the desired objective when opportunity presents. "There are so many interesting things to learn and to do." "We men and women are tremendous assemblies of potential. Each one is like an atom, a thing of almost infinite mystery and power. Each human is a lifelong partnership of three things, body, mind and soul. It is a precious privilege to be such a partnership and to live in a world of such infinite interest and variety. "Why should any part of man be lonely or forlorn when the other two parts are forever by?, and when he realizes that he is somehow indissolubly linked to that infinite power which gave him life? "It is ours then to take stock of ourselves with intelligence and persistent patience to get acquainted with the parts of us and to carry on with humility, inward understanding and harmony. "We must make our plans and map our courses. We must choose and establish a code of conduct which will lead us to the ultimate goal of our desire."One ship sails East
And one sails West
However the winds do blow.
It is not the gales,
But the set of the sails
That sends them the way they go.'"To be sure we are all uncertain at times. We all falter and fumble and make mistakes. It is from mistakes and bitter defeats that men often learn most. In such struggles they become seasoned, hardy and determined. "Henley's great poem ‘Invictus’ expresses it. Man must learn to keep his direction without wavering. He must not, like the one Stephen Leacock wrote about, 'Leap on his horse and ride rapidly off in all directions. "It all takes time and toil and trouble but life would lack flavor if it were too easy. "The little book I send tells of a man who had amazing singleness of purpose. I hope that you enjoy it as I have. I have always liked true stories of what men have done more than stories some one has dreamed up. When I was quite young I got a big thrill out of Ben Franklin's autobiography and it helped me a lot to understand my own problems. Have you read it? Books should make the enforced inactivity due to your injury more tolerable. Dr. Cleary says he does not know what the secret of his physical health is unless it is due to his ancestors. He doesn't smoke, and drinks very moderately, an occasional cocktail, but he prefers wine because it has living yeast, natural enzymes. Sane and Savvy, Dr. Cleary is wholesome, homely, unworldly, humble, but pugnacious when the occasion demands it, and a hopeless romantic by his own admission. Spiritually he is a serious man. Dr. Francis P. Foote, rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church of Burlingame, who is "Frank" Foote to Dr. Cleary, an old friend and neighbor, says he is a down lo earth philosopher dedicated to serve his fellow man on the spiritual as well as physical level. "In harmony with his basic Christian convictions, Ernest is forever seeking the spiritual betterment of man," Dr. Foote says. "What is the secret of your serenity, Dr. Cleary?" I asked. "Have you achieved peace of mind?" "In all humility my reply must be, 'The vision has been beholden. I am on the path though I have progressed lamely and but a little way.' "Man's deepest yearning and desire is to attain peace of mind, complete universal awareness and understanding with total absence of doubts, fears, worries, hates, lusts and the like. Man's awareness and understanding grows space when he learns to make use of all his powers." Dr. Cleary paused, pursed his lips and said, "Once a great while ago I was dissecting a green slug and trying to analyze, the perceptive systems of its simple anatomy. What was the total span of its sensibilities? What did life mean to a slug?" "Musing upon what the slug's world must be, I realized that its world could be only those things of which its mechanisms for sensing made it aware. What a limited world! How different from the world that I knew! But hold! "The span of my sensibilities established the limits of my world just as the slugs set the boundaries to his and I know that human sensibilities vary! A new idea! There's a vast world beyond my present awareness. "Maybe the slug has no urge to get beyond its ordinary awareness but man is different.
Oliver Wendell Holmes gave a poet's expression in this urge and yearning when he held in his hand the chambered shell of the nautilus."Build thee more stately mansions
O' my Soul,
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler
than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a
dome more vast,
Till thou at length art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by
life's unresting sea!"Your Friend, Dr. Cleary

13. Margaret Sutton Hunter Engman
August 4, 1918 ~ January 1, 2020 (age 101)
Margaret was born on August 4, 1918 in Lennoxville, Quebec, Canada to Marion (Poole) and Walter Sutton. The family moved to Ohio, for a short time before coming to Lyndonville (Squabble Hollow) Vermont where Margaret and her sister, Louise, grew up. Margaret attended Squabble Hollow School and graduated from Lyndon Institute in 1935. She then attended Lyndon Normal School (which later became Lyndon Teachers College and eventually NVU-Lyndon) for two years. She was a lifelong advocate for the value of education.
Margaret married Charles Hunter in 1938. They owned and operated a dairy farm in Mt. Hunger for 35 years. During that time she was a member of the Lyndon School Board for over 20 years and a trustee of Lyndon Institute. She was also active in the farm bureau, Home Dem, and worked at Edmund’s Pharmacy in the 1950’s and 1960’s. Charles passed away in 1973. In 1974 Margaret married J. Henry Engman. They spent their time in Florida during the winters and Vermont in the summers. After Henry’s death in 1989 she continued to spend the winters in Florida until 2010, when she moved back to Vermont full time.
Margaret was a wonderful inspiration, a strong, outgoing, hardworking, uplifting, independent woman. She was feisty, witty, adventurous, and curious and quickly became friends with those she met. She loved animals and people. Margaret focused on the positive, found the best in people and connected them through fun stories and laughter over good food. She loved to laugh, and lived each day to the fullest. Margaret was generous and beloved. The matriarch of an extensive family, Margaret loved her family fiercely and her huge heart only grew larger with each addition.
Margaret is survived by her children, Robert of Weston, MA and Doris (Garrett) of Cary, NC, Janice (Hunter) Somers of East Burke, VT, Mark and Sharon (Craig) Hunter of Lyndonville, VT , and step-son, Ted and Leila (Ray) Engman of Alexandria, VA, as well as 15 grandchildren (Charlie, Sean, Sammy, Jennie, Debby, Sharon, Bo, Jeff, Craig, Kendra, Cole, Karla, Kirsten, Karen, Eric), 18 great grandchildren (Jonathan, Ben, Stephanie, Ben, Zach, Sam, Michael, Jason, Josh, Allie, Anna, Kassandra, Bauer, James, Jesse, Nathan, Sarah, Julia) and 1 great great grandson (Mica).

Notes:
1. Lived in Dunham, PQ
2. Tacy passed away after a terrible bout of kidney trouble. She was having dialysis treatment 3 times a week in a hospital in Granby Quebec. Clare would drive her to Granby and would stay in a house across from the hospital. They bought the house thinking that they would have to move due to her illness. Clare was wracked with emphysema. He had terrible bouts of coughing. They never moved from the farm. Clare stayed alone in the house and eventually sold the farm and moved to a nursing home not far from his children.
Clare was a good man. He had a New England area accent. He resembled Buddy Ebsen in the Beverley Hillbillies so very much. He was tall and lanky, always in his blue overalls and his cap. He was 81 last September. He was a sawyer by trade and a farmer in order to live. He had some cattle. His sons all farmed and drove the school buses. They are all outdoorsmen. They have some property a way further east. They hunt in the Fall for their winter meat supply. I think they are always trying to bag a Moose.
Clare tried his hand at various jobs. He raised and sold live fish. He was quite a character with a wonderful family. He will be missed greatly by all of his great-grandchildren who loved PAMPAW
They had the following children:

Lennoxville ready for the onslaught of winter
The first few sad snow flakes fell last week only to melt immediately, and after a week nary a trace of them remains in the Sherbrooke area. Though its effect on the general populace was quite small (it perhaps prompted a few of the more energetic to put up their double windows) the snow came as a white warning flag to at least one man. To Buzz Sutton, the man in the charge of the Town of Lennoxville's machinery, it meant to get to work. One of the busiest times of the year for Mr. Sutton and his nine-man squad is the late autumn preparation for winter’s onslaught. Machinery and snow clearing equipment is taken out of mothballs, inspected and put into operational order. Any necessary repairs and servicing are done. ‘We're pretty well ready now." Mr, Sutton said. When the Record interviewed him, Mr. Sutton and two of his workers were busy at another phase of winter préparation. The three men were putting up two by eight studs and rafters for a lean-to to house the front of the towns dump truck. One of the major operations that Mr. Sutton and his crew undertook this year was the conversion of Lennoxville's only snowblower. A tractor-like rig with a diesel engine and big rear tires, the snowblower previously had the blower itself mounted in the rear. That meant having to back up to clear snow and kept the driver craning his neck around lo see what he was doing. "Kind of hard on the neck," Mr Sutton said. The job kept the superintendent and his men at work for three weeks, shifting the apparatus and adapting the hydraulic system. Lennoxville's winter preparation are on a somewhat smaller scale than those of Sherbrooke, a city which employs about 150 men to keep the roads cleared through the long winter. Lennoxville's equipment amounts to its snowblower, two plows, and a small sidewalk plow equipped with caterpillar treads. Sherbrooke's winter equipment includes eight snowblowers, 14 sidewalk plows, 16 snowplows, two tractors and a loader. Lennoxville equipment is sufficient though, Mr. Sutton says. Remarking on last year, he said that his department had been pretty successful in keeping the roads clear. (Sherbrooke Daily Record, Nov. 4, 1966, p. 1)13.

PAT PATTERSON (Senate - March 06, 1989)
Mr. LEAHY. Mr. President, many Senators on the Agriculture Committee know Pat Patterson, a very good friend of this Senator, and a dedicated, hard working farmer from North Danville, VT.
There are times our committee gets bogged down in USDA directives and regulations and the bureaucratic maze that our lawyers create, and then collect exorbitant fees to guide us through.
When times call for good sense rather than more paper work, I get on the phone to Vermont and ask Pat if he has a few minutes to advise the chairman of the Senate Agriculture Committee.
Pat and his family milk 100 cows twice a day on his farm, and he still finds time to serve as president of the Cabot Farmers' Cooperative Creamery, and other committees and corporations that are related to the dairy industry.
Despite all these activities, Pat always finds time to help me with dairy issues that only a lifetime on the farm can teach you.
And he has come to Washington on occasion to share that knowledge at hearings before the entire committee. The Senators have a great deal of respect for his views on the future of dairy farming in New England, and often ask me to invite him back.
But Pat is too busy keeping his farm going to spend all his time helping out the committee, or its chairman, understand in simple language what today's farmer is up against.
Today, farmers like Pat not only produce milk, but they must become active in the marketing and pricing of their product to survive.
The complex life of a modern day dairy farmer like Pat Patterson was captured in an article in the Boston Globe of February 26, 1989, written by Douglas Wilhelm.
I am having copies made for all the members of my committee, Mr. President, but would ask that the article be reprinted in its entirety so that other Senators, especially those from farm States, can get a better appreciation of what Pat Patterson means to the State of Vermont, and to me personally.
The article follows: [FROM THE BOSTON GLOBE, FEB. 26, 1989]
Cows To Milk, Committees To Meet Modern Farmer's Life Is No Longer Simple
(BY DOUGLAS WILHELM)
Danville, Vt.--No matter how you approach Lloyd Patterson's dairy farm, you've got to go the last several miles on back roads. It's a beautiful drive, up and over the hills that rise around North Danville village. Patterson's place is on a crest, where the open-pastured view of northeastern Vermont drops away in nearly every direction. You can think this is one place where life must be fairly simple--where a farmer just stays, and farms.
No.
With his family, Patterson, known as Pat, milks 100 cows twice a day. He is also a director, treasurer, board chairman, national delegate to or president of eight organizations that process milk, market milk products, promote milk products, lobby for dairy farmers or work on farm pricing, farm economics or the science of breeding cows.
The broad-faced farmer greeted a visitor cordially at a table in his den. He was dressed in a plaid shirt, work pants and blue suspenders. He paid close attention and was very careful with his words. His son Roy was in and out with blackened hands, trying to fix a blocked fuel filter on a tractor outside. There is always something, the farmer said.
`I probably won't say this right. I probably can't even express how I feel,' Patterson said. `But I think it's very necessary that every farmer understand the complexities. . . . It's pretty easy to sit back at home and say, . . . `It should be this way'--but if you dig into it a little bit, there's always a reason why the obvious solution isn't obtainable.'
Many dairy farmers just produce milk and ship it. Patterson did that for 10 years, until 1960, when he was asked onto the board of Cabot Farmers' Cooperative Creamery. He has been Cabot's president or chairman since 1965.
He also is milk promotion director, executive committeeman and treasurer of Milk Promotion Services, Inc., delegate to United Dairy Industry Association, president of a group of dairy cooperative that works on economic issues, president of the Legislative Committee of Northeast Cooperatives, treasurer of the Regional Cooperative Marketing Association, director of National Milk Producers Federation, and director of Eastern Artificial Insemination Corp.
`I never volunteered for anything,' the farmer said.
All this takes, by his estimate, 10 days a month, and `It's almost safe to say 10 nights a month, too.'
`Certainly farms are having problems today,' he said. `We've had them in the past, and we're going to have them in the future. But I still believe it's a pretty good life. . . . Polly and I started 38 years ago with nothing. We still got it, only we got more of it.'
Pat Patterson stood up and shook the visitor's hand.
`I do have kind of a busy afternoon planned,' he said6. 2005; received Vermont Public Service Award Oct 2005, Danville, VT
