The Town Clerk’s office will be open extra days for tax payments. The office will be open 9-5 on Veterans Day, THURSDAY NOV 11 and it’s normally closed day of FRIDAY NOV 12
If you haven't paid your Cabot taxes, note that you only have a few days left to do so. The town offices will be closed on Tuesday, November 2nd as officials will need to be on duty for the voting at the gymnasium.
If you haven't paid your taxes in the Town of Danville, you may be in for penalties as the deadline for taxes there was October 25th.
We noticed today how nice the town hall in Danville looks now that the new steps and ramp are in place. It really didn't take very long, and come next spring, it will no doubt be beautiful with flowers and landscaping. It's a really big improvement.
We walked along Sandy Beach Road again today and got some pictures of both the Gagne home and the LaGue home. Both these places will be year around homes, and both parties expect to be settled in early next spring. The carpenters at Gagne's were obviously concerned about the expected turn in the weather when we spoke briefly with them today. They have some walls up and some of the roofs on, but still lots of open space for wind and snow to come in.
Further up the road at the LaGue's, carpenters Mark Booth and Scott Witcher are moving right along, too. I saw Sue LaGue yesterday and she said once the side walls are up it should go very quickly as they are using pre-built trusses. We stopped to talk with Mark and Scott today, and it's a small world - Mark, whose uncles owned Booth Brothers Milk Company before it was sold to Hoods, knew my uncle, Bob Bolton, who worked for Booth Brothers for many years. That's Scott with his back to the camera, and Mark down below.
Weather permitting, they said they expect to have things enclosed ready for electricians and plumbers by around Thanksgiving, or maybe before - again, depending on the weather.

6:30-8:30 pm ~ CSPAC Building [Cabot School Performing Arts Center]
On Monday, October 4th we held a round table discussion of the strengths, shortcomings, and creative improvements we can make in four areas of Cabot School: Academics, Communication, Co-Curricular Activities and School Climate.
Please join us for our second forum on Monday, October 25, when we’ll present information about two laws passed by the Vermont Legislature earlier this year, and will discuss how they might impact Cabot School. Specifically, Act 153 provides incentives for school districts that choose to merge, while Act 146 (the Challenges for Change bill) sets budget reduction targets for the 2011-2012 school year for all Vermont schools.
Please join us and contribute your voice and ideas to these important discussions about Cabot School.
We hope to see you there!

This might be an interesting forum. Some of these same people were those who designed a budget effectively cutting the school costs last year and helped keep our tax burden in check. These meetings are not just for those people who have children in school or who work at the school, they are for the whole community. The issue of merging school districts is an important one that could have an impact on all of us.
I also had this announcement come this morning:
Thanks to those of you who replied to the emergency request for a wood burning stove. We were offered two such stoves, unfortunately it has come to our attention that what is actually needed is a wood burning furnace. The dimensions of the current furnace are: 17 inches deep, 29 inches wide, (firebox) 3ft high, (pipe) 6in being adapted to fit 7in flu (outside).
Again, this furnace is needed by a family with two small children in the home; any help would be much appreciated.
Anyone who has any leads can contact Faith In Action Northern Communities Partnership, Inc. at (802) 563-3322 or FIANCP@vtlink.net. Thank you again

http://www.cpc.noaa.gov/There are some interesting charts showing what they think the weather will be in the coming months. They may have more technology than The Farmer's Almanac, but I don't know how their predictions measure up for accuracy. Actually, for all we know, NOAA could be at least one of the guides the folks at the almanac use.
Rev. Bill Cobb of Faith in Action is asking for a donation of a wood stove for a family in the Northeast Kingdom. The wood stove is the only source of heat and their current one is no longer functional. The couple has just had to take on care of their grandchildren and are in desperate need to get one in the house. Anyone able to help should call Rev. Cobb at Faith in Action, 563-3322.
