Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – EditorJon McAuliffe is one of those people that, when you

meet them and get to know them, you wonder if theywere given too much talent at the expense of the restof us.

I knew Jon was a talented artist. I’d done an articleon a show he’d had at the The Framery Gallery whenit was in Bellows Falls a few years ago. But it wasonly when I went to interview him for this article thatI realized I’d met him earlier. Jon is not just a talentedpainter and illustrator, he’s also a talented musician,and was the lead guitarist and lead singer with BlindLuck Music.

Blind Luck Music, from 1998 til it disbanded in2004, was one of the more successful groups doingoriginal music in the area. When Jon decided to spenda semester in Italy studying art, the group broke up.I was glad to hear that Jon is back doing music inaddition to his artwork. But it is his art that he’sfocused on, quite successfully, over the past five yearsor so.

“I’ve been really fortunate,” he said. “Business isgetting consistently better. About 90 percent of whatI do is commission work, portraits and paintings.”

Jon said that by keeping his prices really reason-able, and with limited up-front costs, he’s been ableto make a living with his artwork. He was alsostraightforward about how he’s developed his talent,both in art and music.

“It’s all about practice,” he said. “Being a musicianas well, I understand the work ethic of practicing toget better.”

Jon’s artwork and contact information can be foundat his website, www.mcauliffe-art.com.

Adopt an Angel at the BF Police Department

Story and Photo by Robert F. Smith – EditorThe current dire economy made this past Christmas

season an especially difficult one for many families,and community groups found themselves workinghard to help out families in need.

In Bellows Falls, one of the more successful groupsis the Adopt an Angel program, organized by AlishaBeam of the Bellows Falls Police Department. Beamis a dispatcher at the department.

She said that this year the Angel program was ableto provide needed winter clothing and Christmasgifts to over 90 children up to age 12 in theRockingham area. Through press releases and radioannouncements, Beam says she gets the word outabout the Angel program, which is in its 4th year.Individuals and businesses then stop into the policestation where they are able to choose a child – age and

gender are given, but no names – for whom they canbuy Christmas presents.

The presents are dropped off at the station, andpolice officers, and often their families, make sureeverything is wrapped and properly marked. Thepresents are either picked up or delivered to thechildren a few days before Christmas.

Several people simply deliver bags of gifts to thedepartment to be distributed as needed. This has alsobeen the best year for Adopt an Angel as far as cashdonations. Parks Place provided several high qualitywinter jackets, hats and scarves which were includedin the gifts.

Anyone wishing to help out with the Adopt anAngel program can find contact information at theBellows Falls Police department website,www.bellowsfallspolice.org.

Angels would like us to let go ofour worry and simply rely on thedivine for guidance. The divine willnot take away our initiative but willal low us to come to decisions inharmony with our higher self -accomplishing our divine purpose onearth for this lifetime.

When we let go of our egos (whichlike to fret and think about all thathas gone or will go wrong in our past,present, and future) we experiencerel ief - somewhat similar to thelifting of a 10 ton burden off of ourshoulders! The relief we feel is ourcoming into harmony with our higherself and our becoming the desires wehave.

Mahatma Ghandi said, "You mustbe the change you wish to see in theworld." And it doesn't have to be

hard work. We came forth into ourlives to be joyful co-creators with thedivine.

Focusing on the good in our livesgets easier with practice, s ince wefeel joyful when we fill our eyes andour speech with the good. And that'sl ike, well , something sweet to ourtaste buds, say a Godiva chocolate, orsomething vibrant to our souls, like acrisp, sparkling, sunny winter day.

Releasing the Burdens with Reiki & AngelsSubmitted by

Dave Reville, Communications Director, AARP Vermont

With the arrival of the novel H1N1(“swine flu”), many people areunderstandably confused about how toprotect themselves against the flu thisyear. The heightened media attention toHINI and vaccine availability is onlyadding to the rising angst. AARP isworking with the National Foundationfor Infectious Diseases to encourageolder Americans to protect themselvesand those in their care by gettingvaccinated.

Experts say that, this year, a seasonalflu vaccination for people 50 and overis as important as ever. Even beforenovel H1N1 became a threat, fluclaimed an average of 36,000 lives andhospitalized more than 200,000Americans every year. Health authori-ties have long recommended thatpeople 50 and over get a seasonal fluvaccine each year.

Experts also recommend people 65and older get a pneumococcal vaccina-tion, which they can get at the sametime as their seasonal flu vaccination.Pneumococcus is a bacteria that cancause a range of conditions, includingpneumococcal pneumonia, bloodinfection, and meningitis. Youngchildren and people over 65 are thehardest hit.

Both pneumococcal and seasonal fluvaccines are available now. Have yougotten yours?

According to the Centers for DiseaseControl and Prevention (CDC), olderAmericans are less likely to get sickfrom novel H1N1, perhaps due toexposure to a similar virus many yearsago. However, they are more likely tosuffer serious complications – and evendeath – from seasonal flu. Vaccinationis the first line of defense, but goodhygiene habits, like frequent handwashing and covering your mouthwhen you cough are also important. Ifyou get sick, antiviral medications arealso available to help treat the flu.

“We must not get distracted by H1N1– we must remember our annualseasonal flu vaccination,” said Dr.Susan J. Rehm, Medical Director ofNFID. “Pneumococcal vaccination isalso important, and now is a great timeto get both vaccines.”

Last year in Vermont, 44 percent ofadults age 50-64 and 73 percent ofadults 65+ got vaccinated for influenza.Just over of 70 percent of adults 65+received the pneumococcal vaccine lastyear.

To find out where to go in your area,go towww.healthvermont.gov/prevent/fluor call 211 for information. Influenzaand pneumococcal vaccines are free foranyone in Medicare and are availablenow at doctor ’s offices, pharmacies,and health departments in our area. Formore information, speak with yourhealthcare provider or visitwww.aarp.org/flu or www.nfid.org.

Story by Robert F. Smith – Editor, Photo courtesy of GMP Mark Grieco, bass and vocals, Tim Morton, drums and vocals, and Jesse Peters,

guitar and vocals, are the members of GMP, an area band that has been playingtogether for the past two years.

After a long break last year after Grieco broke his ankle in a snowboardingaccident, they are again active in the area music scene, and agreed to answer afew questions

RFS: What type of music do you play?Mark: I'd call it Rhythm and Blues if we had to put a name on it. Jesse: It's eclectic and hard to label – I call it Rock & Roll. Simple and to the

point. When pressed, I will mention that we play a range of styles, from acoustic-based pop songs to rockabilly throw-downs to backbeat rock. We have some

modern groove numbers too, such as my tune "Slipstream", as well as classiccovers like "Day Tripper."

RFS: Name some of the groups you cover. Los Lobos, Stevie Ray Vaughan, John Hiatt, Ry Cooder, Chris Whitley, The

Beatles, The Stones, The Subdudes. We do a Michael Jackson and a Brad Paisleysong too, so we're kind of all over the place!

RFS: Do you do originals, and if so, who writes? Yes, Jesse writes a lot of our material and a typical set consists of 1/3-1/2 of his

tunes.RFS: How would you describe the local music scene? It seems right now that a lot of

groups that are not doing your typical covers are still able to play around quite a bit. Doyou see that as well?

Mark: I think there is a vibrant music scene around here, and that most musiclovers are more interested in hearing music that is new to their ears than the sameold covers, so in addition to featuring Jesse's songs we tend to play what we liketo listen to, much of which is outside the mainstream.

Jesse: I agree with Mark. There are a good number of bands and solo acts (article continued on page 13)

(continued from page 12)here, which I think is great. The more

the merrier – there's room for all of us.I want to see more mutual reinforce-ment – we need to support each other,not dis each other.

Sam Talmadge is gonna be a force onthe guitar, Matt McGrail is going for itwith his new album and a goodfollowing in Keene. There are manytalented folks around here, and manyeager listeners to go along with them. Isee it as kind of a united-we-standsituation in a little area like this. Get outthere, support someone you've neverheard before and be positive!

RFS: What are your musicalbackgrounds?

Mark: Been singing all my life, longago played guitar and sang in coffehouses, was the bass player/vocalist inRoot Notes and the Originals, and havebeen singing choral folk music withvarious groups for the last 18 years.

Jesse: I've been playing guitar since9th grade and singing all my life,though I didn't combine the two 'til Iwas a senior, when I also wrote my firstsong. I played acoustic from the start aswell as electric. I'm pretty eclectic, bothin my tastes and writing style. I studiedjazz in college and simultaneously wasplaying acoustic music in coffee houses,and remain committed to a mix ofstyles.

Tim: I grew up in a musical family. Asa kid in Brattleboro in the 70's it was notuncommon to have two or threedifferent bands practicing in our hugeold Oak Street house. Probably explainsmy dad’s numerous trips to the ElksClub! My big break came when Istudied with Gerry James at theBrattleboro Music School in the late70's. I learned from him to treat thedrums as an instrument and tocontribute to the song. I have played inmany bands in a number of stylesincluding county, blues , R & B, Rockand Roll, Heavy Metal (not fun!), Swingand Pop. Popular acts I’ve been inpreveous to GMP include TheMorTones, The Jacksonville Blues Bandand After Hours.

RFS: What are yourindividual influences?What did you listen togrowing up, and what newmusic are you listening tonow?

Mark: My parents were"folkies" so I grew up withDylan, Joan Baez, PeterPaul and Mary, and thelike. Current influencesrange from Daniel Lanoisand Chris Whitley to theSubdudes and the NevilleBrothers, as well astraditional and vocalmusic.

Jesse: Like Mark, I grewup surrounded primarilyby folk and classicalmusic. I heard Joan Baez,Joni Mitchell, JudyCollins, jazz, blues,Bonnie Raitt and classicalmusic around the house,along with a heavy doseof 70s A.M. radio in thecar. I was hooked by rockfrom the start–Iremember loving TheCars and Joan Jett as afifth grader, then gettinginto Queen, Yes andeventually Led Zep,David Bowie and all thegreat guitarists, past andpresent. Currently I'mlistening to old rock circathe 50s, John Coltrane andwhatever's on PrairieHome Companion. I lovethe new crop of greatbluegrass players, likeChris Thiele. I like BradPaisley, too.

Tim: Earthy and funky

drummers are my big influences.Chiefly Richie Hayward of Little Feat,Ginger Baker and Jim Keltner. Growingup, I listened to Little Feat, Zeppelin, ZZTop and endlessy to Hank Mobley'salbum "The Flip." Porcupine Tree andMedeski, Martin and Wood are myfavorite "new" music but I also love JohnMayer, John Hammond, The Subdudesand anything with Ginger Baker on it

RFS: Mark, I know you do some shapenote singing. Do you incorporate that intoany of your work with GMP? There is agroup, Grizzly Bear, that is making quite animpact with their vocals, and they have abackground with shape note and other typesof vocal work. Have you heard them?

Mark: We don't really incorporatethose influences directly, but harmoniesare very important to me and we arealways striving to make these a part ofour sound. I haven't heard of GrizzlyBear (I'll look them up!), but anotherband that is influenced by shape notesinging is Cordelia's Dad, fronted byTim Erikson who worked on thesoundtrack to Cold Mountain.

RFS: Where do you play in the area? Whatare your upcoming shows?

The Springfield TownLibrary was one of 20libraries, statewide, toqualify for a conferenceand the associatedmatching grant,sponsored by the Bill &Melinda GatesFoundation.

The foundation’s USLibraries Initiative andits “OpportunityOnline” Hardware Grantoffer assistance toqualified libraries acrossthe United States toprovide qualitytechnology services tothe mill ions of patronswho count on them fortheir only access tocomputers and theInternet.

The two-day confer-ence, Turning the Page:Building Your LibraryCommunity, waspresented by the Public Library Association.

The “Opportunity Online” Hardware Grant is atwo-year grant program designed to help locall ibraries sustain technology services andstrengthen their abil ity to develop ongoingfunding for those services.

According to Russ Moore, Springfield’s LibraryDirector, the library is eligible to receive $1,950 ingrant funding with a 25% local match of $650 in thefirst year and $1,300 in grant funding with a 50%local match of $1,300 in the second year, topurchase new public access computers and relatedsupport. In other words for $1,950 we will receive$3,250 in matching funds for a total benefit of$5,200.

The Library currently has six desktop computersfor public use and typically there is a waiting line.With limited space in the Library, Moore plans to

purchase four laptop computers and software, twoeach year, to be used within the building forgeneral public use and Internet access through theLibrary’s wireless network.

Nearly doubling the available computers,laptops will allow patrons to find a comfortablespot anywhere in the library to work.

But, as Moore points out, it is a matching grantand funds will need to be raised for the town’sshare. The first year ’s grant match is being raisedby The Friends of the Springfield Town Library(FOSTL) but additional community support will benecessary to complete the second year ’s matchingfunds.

FOSTL is coordinating the matching grant effortso anyone who would like to help with the town’sshare should send their specified donation to“FOSTL”, c/o of The Springfield Town Library, 43Main St, Springfield 05156.
