Story by Robert F. Smith – Editor

Louise Bradford Wilsonof Bellows Falls turned100 this summer, wearinga button that said “100and Fabulous,” whichpretty much describesher.

Born in Wayne, ME, thethird of nine children,Louise has seen her shareof tragedy – her fatherdied at a young agerescuing a drowningswimmer and she had aless than happy firstmarriage – but anytroubles she may haveseen have had little effecton her positive attitudeabout life.

Louise has becomefamous for her sayings,posted daily on Facebookby her granddaughterVicki Allen (visit theLouise B. Wilson groupon Facebook where hersayings are archived),and one saying I heardseveral times the eveningI interviewed her was, “Ienjoyed myself whereverI went.”

It is obvious Louise hasa big appetite for life thatthe travails of extremeold age have done little todampen.

Like all of her brothersand sisters, Louiseenjoyed a collegeeducation, had a lifetimecareer as a maternitynurse, and was alsotalented musically – shestill plays piano.

She says she got hermusical talent from herfather, who, according toLouise, “could makemusic on anything.”

She came to BellowsFalls with her firsthusband following WorldWar II in 1949. She wentto work at RockinghamHospital, where sheremained until her retire-ment at age 66 . At somepoint – Louise isn’tperfectly clear on all herhistory – her firsthusband “disappeared,”and in 1956 she marriedFrederick Wilson.

The marriage was by allaccounts a very happyone right up to his deathin 1971.

“Papa Fred was a lovelyman,” Louise said. “Hewas the kindest hearted

man I ever met We had awonderful life from thenon.”

Louise had a work lifethat seemed to mirror herhappy marriage.

“Everyday I spent atwork I enjoyed myself,”she recalls. “We enjoyedeach others company andwe each helped the otherout.”

Louise has seen a hugechange in the worldduring her century of

living, and she says theease and speed withwhich people can travelthe world is one of themost profound.

There were some otherbig changes.

“When we got thebathroom in the house,the word traveled tobreakfast and back,” shesaid. “Everybody had tocome and try it. We nearlyran out of toilet paper!”

Still a working

musician, Louise formany years played withthe Green Mountain HotShots, and had her 15minutes of fame withthem when the group wasprofiled on ComedyCentral’s The Daily Show.As she is fond of saying, agood time was had by all!

Brattleboro RetreatOn July 7, the Brattleboro

Retreat launched a new,and rather bold venture,New England’s firstinpatient mental healthand addiction treatmentprogram designedexclusively to meet theneeds of individuals whoare lesbian, gay bisexualand transgender (LGBT).

The 16-bed program hasgotten off to a bit of a rockystart, with fewer clientsthan the Retreat had hopedto be helping, butaccording to Dr. JuliePrause, MD, the medicaldirector of the unit, otherimportant aspects of theprogram have gone verywell, especially the peoplethat have applied to staffthe unit.

“The staff has gelled verywell,” Dr. Prause said. “Thestaff really communicateswell. They really want to bethere. It’s something theybelieve in. That’s about asgood as it gets.”

Dr. Prause said that theRetreat is starting to makea serious effort to get theword out about theavailability of the unit. Hesaid that he or otherrepresentitives of thefacility would be attendingseveral mental healthconferences over thecoming few months topublicize and even makesome presentations about

the unit.“People came to us and

said that there is a need outthere,” Dr. Prause said.“We took a look at it, didsome homework anddecided it was somethingthat we wanted to do at theRetreat.”

LGBT patients receivecare for a variety of issuesincluding depression andother mood disorders,anxiety, grief and loss,sexual compulsivity,sexual identity issues,HIV/AIDS and relatedconcerns and alcohol andother drug addiction.

“The need for this type ofprogram is timely, and theRetreat will providemembers of the LGBTcommunity withoutstanding care deliveredin an environment that issafe, respectful andpositive,” said Dr. RobSimpson, president andchief executive officer.“We are intent onbuilding a center ofexcellence for thetreatment of LGBTindividuals from thenortheast and beyond.”

Program services willinclude psychologicaland medical evaluation,around-the-clock acutehospital care, drug andalcohol detox/short-termstabilization, medicationmanagement, group andindividual therapy andtherapeutic recreationalong with after careplanning that is tailored

to the needs of LGBTindividuals, according toliterature received fromthe Retreat.

“The environment ofcare will be 100 percentLGBT affirmative,” saidDr. Praus said in astatment released by theRetreat. “Every memberof the Retreat’s clinicalteam has been carefullyselected for this programand is trained insensitivity to LGBTissues. We will be able toaccomplish results thatare often impossible forpatients in ‘mixed’clinical settings. Inaddition to excellentclinical care, the supportand acceptance patientsshare with each otherplays a powerful role inthe healing process.”

One of the unit staffmembers, mental healthworker Lori Weber, is alsoan accomplished artist,and has painted threemurals throughout theunit that help create awelcoming, friendly andbright atmosphere.

Other members of theRetreat’s LGBT clinicalleadership team includeSusan Pickford, RN,nurse manager, and EricaMasson, a LICSW, leadsocial worker.

Yoga At Grace Cottage Hospital

On Thursday, September10, at 7 p.m. in the MainRoom of Brooks MemorialLibrary in Brattleboro, lo-cal authors Wayne Carhartand Charles Fish will talkand present photos abouttheir book On the Job: TheBrattleboro Public Works De-partment.

The book tells the storyof the people who make itpossible for one to drinkfrom the tap, flush the toi-let, and enjoy clean and

lighted streets and side-walks.

The development of pub-lic works is an importantstrand in the history of thetown. Brattleboro’s popu-lation grew with the arrivalof the railroad in 1848 andwith various industries in-cluding the Estey OrganCompany, the S. A. SmithToy Company, and a signif-icant publishing and print-ing industry.

And in the 20th century

the automobile arrived. Formany years roads were lim-ited, potable water sourceswere privately owned, theWhetstone Brook and theConnecticut River carriedraw sewage, and firefight-ing was limited to handpumpers and bucketbrigades.

The town met the chal-lenge and created the Pub-lic Works Department. Indocumenting the often un-noticed work of the depart-

ment, the authors spenttwo years at job sites, ask-ing questions and listen-ing.

On the Job is published bythe Brattleboro AreaChamber of Commerce andfunded by the ThomasThompson Trust and theWindham Foundation. Theauthors have volunteeredtheir services, and the pro-ceeds from sales will go toa special fund to benefit thedepartment.

We’ve all heard thatbreakfast is the mostimportant meal of theday, yet many of us stillmanage to find excuses toskip eating breakfasteach morning. As lifegets busier, it is moreimportant than ever to besure to fit breakfast intoyour schedule.

Your morning meal notonly sets the tone foryour day—it can tune upyour mind (breakfasteaters tend to concen-trate better in school andhave more energy) andtone up your body(adults who eat a healthybreakfast tend toconsume fewer caloriesthroughout the day).

According toRegistered Dietitian andauthor Elizabeth Ward,the healthiest breakfastsinclude foods from atleast three of the fourfood groups—and don’thave to cost a lot tocreate. Here’s how to getwhat you need in the

morning meal. Plan for breakfast:

Keep healthful breakfastfoods on hand, includingwhole grain cereals andbreads, low-fat milk and

yogurt, and fruit. Letchildren assemble theirown morning meals,including such winningcombinations as:

•Banana dog: Spread ahot dog roll with nut

butter, soy butter orsunflower seed butter.Peel a banana and put itin the roll. Have with 8ounces of milk.

•Eggs in a pita:

Scramble an egg or two,stuff into half of a wholewheat pita pocket andtop with grated cheddarcheese and ketchup orsalsa. Have with 8 ouncesof 100 percent fruit juice.

•Waffle sandwich:Toast two frozen wholegrain waffles, spreadwith nut butter, soybutter or sunflower seedbutter. Serve with 8

ounces of milk. •Breakfast berry

parfait: In a tall glass,layer 1 cup cereal, such asMom’s Best Honey NutToasty O’s, with half cupvanilla yogurt and half

cup berries. Add a slice ofwhole grain toast. Mom’sBest Naturals is a greatoption for this recipe as itcontains no artificialflavors and colors, no

preservatives, saturatedfat or high-fructose cornsyrup. The line includesvarieties that meet thetastes of adults and kids.

More good news:Elizabeth also notes that

if you’re not an earlyriser, you can still have agood breakfast withhomemade take-alongtreats such as these:

•Heat a frozenpancake, spread with nutbutter, soy butter orsunflower seed butter,sprinkle with raisins androll up. Take along aninsulated cup of milk.

•Whip up thissmoothie in the blender,then transfer to aninsulated cup to takewith you: half cup 1percent low-fat milk, halfcup berries, 1 teaspoonsugar, half teaspoonvanilla extract, 1 icecube. Have with a slice ofwhole grain toast.

Healthy Eating on a Budget – How?


Story by Joe Milliken - EditorPhotos courtesy of

Scott BolotinScott and Laurie

Bolotin, owners ofMorningstar Perennialson Darby Hill inRockingham, startedtheir own homeperennial gardens anddried flower farm in1986, which over theyears has grown toinclude more than 500varieties of hardyperennials, shrubs andtrees, including manyuncommon and hard-to-find varieties.

However, along withtheir seasonal perennialbusiness, Scott has alsobeen creating the art ofstonewalls for some 15years for residencies and

businesses in the area. So, how did Bolotin

become interested inbuilding stonewalls?

“While working forGordon Hayward, I wasfortunate enough to workalongside Dan Snow, amaster stonewaller,”Bolotin said in a recent,exclusive Messengerinterview.

“Dan exposed me to thebritish techniques of theDry Stone association.Since becoming self-employed since 1999, Ihave continued my workin this tradition.”

Bolotin can createstonewalls of any lengthor height, as well as stonesteps and variousflatworks such as patios,paths and walkways.

“The foundation of my

business is that I do notuse any mortar,” Bolotinadded. “When a wall isbuilt properly, it shouldstand strong for decades.

“Walls shouldwithstand the test oftime, be durable and looklike they have alwaysbeen a part of thelandscape.”

Whenever possible, healso tries to utilize on-site stone, however if notavailable, Bolotin tries tofind stone that matcheswhatever might be on theproperty.

“I have a particulartalent for creation ofstonework that suits thenatural landscape,”Bolotin concluded.

“Stonewalling is an artand dry stonewallers are

“nature artists”.“When I investigate the

landscape of a propertywhere I will be building awall, steps or flatwork, Itake into considerationnot only the goal of thefinal outcome (thefinished construction),but also the broadervision of how it willblend with the naturalelements of the property.

“This is the creativeelement of what I do as astonewaller.”

Obviously by thedetailed work in thesephotos, Scott Bolotincertainly leaves no stoneunturned.

HOME EXTERIORSTYLING ON A BUDGET

Courtesy of North American

Precise SyndicateImproving the look of your

home doesn't have to meancosts that go through the roof.

While large-ticket renova-tions may need to wait thesedays, one value-adding changeinvolves using hardscapes,such as patios, walkways, firepits and water features, in ahome's exterior.

Studies by Clemson Univer-sity and the University of Flori-da have found that hardscapescan contribute as much as 15percent to a home's resale val-ue.

For homeowners on a budg-et, the use of Quikrete Crack Re-sistant Concrete Mix to createconcrete borders can be a rela-tively simple and affordablehardscaping project.

These poured-in-place bor-ders offer definition and func-tionality. As an example, con-crete borders can be curvedaround lawns, gardens and oth-er landscaping elements whilealso acting as a mowing strip.

This reduces the amount oftime needed for exterior main-tenance.

What's more, you don't haveto be an expert in landscape de-sign and hardscapes to createthese visually appealing addi-tions.

With just a few simple toolsand materials, homeownerscan add concrete borders in aweekend for under $100--de-pending on the project scale.

Integrating With The HomeAccording to the American

Society of Landscape Archi-tects, borders create uniformityin blending planting beds andpaths with a home's exteriorlandscape and drawing the eyeto visual elements.

With such a premium placedon curb appeal in today's realestate market, every value-adding project that homeown-ers tackle in their yard and gar-den can help the bottom line.

Besides offering value anddurability, concrete allows forcustomization in the form ofcolor additives.

During the mixing process,liquid cement colors can be

added to the concrete to com-plement exterior colors. Thiscreates further visual uniformi-ty to enhance a home's exterior.

Hardscaping IdeasFor other ways to add inter-

est to a home's exterior, thinkabout incorporating hardscap-ing stone, rock and sand aggre-gates into your lawn and gar-den design.

They're available in a widerange of colors, sizes and tex-tures. For example, the newHardScapes by Quikrete lineincludes an assortment of land-scaping marble chips, lavarocks, pea pebbles, pond peb-bles, river pebbles, all-purposestones and specialty sands.

You can learn more in "Guideto Concrete: Masonry & StuccoProjects," a new book from TheQuikrete Companies.

The book, the first in a serieswritten in cooperation withCreative Publishing Int., pro-vides dozens of project ideas,along with information aboutproper applications, tech-niques and building practices.

Choosing The RightMulch For Your Garden


Precise SyndicateIf you're looking for a simple

way to add new life to a garden,boost curb appeal or spruce upyour landscaping, it could betime to start mulching.

Mulch can improve thehealth of soil and plants by min-imizing weed growth and re-taining water and nutrients.

Plus, a thick layer of mulchhelps protect roots from coldweather and extreme heat--allwhile helping to define flowerbeds and "edge out" bushes andtrees.

All mulch, however, is notcreated equal. Yard experts sayusing the right type can saveyou work and money in thelong run.

For instance, mulch madefrom wood, gravel or straw of-ten needs to be replaced a fewtimes throughout the year.

But mulch made from recy-cled rubber requires little to nomaintenance and lasts yearswithout fading, decomposing,

compacting or losing its origi-nal beauty.

International Mulch Compa-ny even manufactures recycledrubber mulches that look justlike their natural counterparts.In addition to being used in gar-dens and beds, the mulches canbe spread under playgroundequipment to keep childrensafe.

An added bonus The mulch keeps tires out of

landfills. In fact, by the end ofthe year, the company will haverecycled more than 200 millionpounds of rubber into a fullsuite of landscaping and play-ground products--from mulchto mats, and timbers to treerings.

Try some of these additionalmulching tips:

Pre-MulchingThoroughly rake and weed

the area you plan to mulch be-fore adding any ground cover.You might also consider usinglandscape paper to prevent thegrowth of unwanted grass orplants in a mulched garden.

How Much Mulch?About 2.5 cubic yards of

wood mulch will provide 4-inch deep coverage to 200square feet of garden.

But with rubber mulch youonly need one inches as it does-n't compact. You can find anumber of mulch coveragecharts and calculators online tohelp you get a more precise un-derstanding of your needs.

Spreading MulchGenerally, you'll only need a

rake and shovel to spreadmulch. Start with a pile in themiddle of the area to bemulched and spread theground cover toward the gar-den's edges.

After the mulch has beenspread, fill in bare or thin spotsby hand and water thoroughly.

New types of recycled rub-ber mulch can be a low-mainte-nance, eco-friendly alternativeto other ground covers.

Precise SyndicateThe next time you're out on a

deck, you won't be alone. That'sbecause there are nearly 40 mil-lion Americans who own decks.

They all should know it's im-portant to examine the deck'scondition and conduct any nec-essary upkeep before breakingout the patio furniture and grill.

To help, here are solutions forthe top five most common deckdilemmas:

Deck Dilemma #1:Scuffs and abrasions from

furniture or foot traffic can marthe beauty of a deck's surface.Consequently, half of all Amer-icans are not satisfied with theappearance of their decks.

Solution: To keep wood decks looking

pristine, it's important to wash,stain and seal them in advanceof the arrival of warm weather--as the process can take severaldays and may require the use ofheavy equipment like a powerwasher.

With a wood-alternativedeck, scuffs and abrasionsshould naturally fade or disap-pear during the weatheringprocess.

Deck Dilemma #2:BBQ sauce is delicious, but

not when it's coating your deck.In fact, oil and grease stains canbe downright unappetizing--especially if they're set in.

Solution:Whether you have a wood or

a wood-alternative deck, tryscrubbing stains with a house-hold degreasing agent (ideallyas soon as it occurs).

For set-in stains, try an auto-motive degreaser or a carbure-tor cleaner and rinse immedi-ately with hot water.

Deck Dilemma #3:Mold and mildew are ene-

mies of any exterior surface--es-pecially shady decks exposedto pollen or other organic debrisand moisture. Problem areastypically are where waterstands for periods of time orwhere puddles form under pot-ted plants.

Solution:Sweeping away pools of wa-

ter and periodically cleaningthe deck surface creates a firstline of defense against moldand mildew.

These actions prevent thecreation of an environment that

nurtures the growth of fungus.Use conventional deck washesor cleaners that contain sodiumhypochlorite (bleach) and de-tergent.

In addition, wood decksshould be sealed every otheryear to protect against othertypes of moisture damage, suchas rotting planks--a problemthat 44 percent of Americansfeel makes their decks unsafefor kids and pets.

Deck Dilemma #4:Outdoor fun should be ouch-

free, but that's not likely if yourdeck is plagued with splinter-ing boards-which could leavebarefoot outdoor revelers withpainful splinters of their own.

Solution:The amount of time and ef-

fort required to fix splinteringboards on a wood deck de-pends on the extent of the dam-age.

Lightly splintered boardsmay be salvaged through sand-ing, while severely splinteredplanks will continue to deterio-rate and most likely will need tobe replaced.

For a splinter-free deck,choose a highly durable wood-alternative material that offersthe natural beauty of wood butleaves behind all the rotting andsplintering.

Deck Dilemma #5:Loose nails that are exposed

above the deck's surface createhazards, especially for childrenand pets. In fact, nearly 10 per-cent of Americans believe thattheir decks are unsafe becauseof exposed nails.

Solution: If you own a wood deck, in-

spect the boards to find any pro-truding nail heads. Hammerthem down or replace themwith galvanized screws that areapproximately one inch longerthan the original nails.

For a smooth deck surfacethat is completely free of anytype of nails or fasteners, con-sider a wood-alternative mate-rial such as Trex Brasilia® withits exclusive Hideaway® Hid-den Fastening System, suggestsAdam Zambanini, senior prod-uct manager of decking at Trex,the country's largest manufac-turer of wood-alternative deck-ing, railing and fencing prod-ucts.
