Past, Present, and MidgeBy Midge Rosebrook

LETTERS TO THE EDITORThe Mutual Benefits of Volunteering:April is National Volunteer Month,

which makes this late-winter, early-springtime of year a fitting one to discuss theimportance of giving back. Sharing timeand talent in the form of community serv-ice is what makes the universe a betterplace in which to live and work.

At a more local level, volunteering canhelp bring someone out of a depression,help enable someone to buy the thingsthey need to survive, beautify a street orneighborhood, and help change the per-spectives of a community toward a certainelement of their own population.Volunteers help make the lives of othersbetter, for sure, but it’s certainly not a one-way street. Volunteers also reap personalbenefits from their service.

It’s only natural that volunteering offersthe opportunity to connect with other peo-ple and make new friends and social con-tacts. It’s a great way to meet new peopleand even spend time as a family, modelingfor the next generation the importance ofhelping one’s neighbor.

Volunteering can also bolster one’s men-tal and physical health and well-being. Itincreases self-confidence while providinga sense of purpose, and by default, caneven help combat depression. For thosewho want to stay physically healthy, vol-unteer activities such as environmental orpark projects can help achieve fitnessgoals while serving the community.

It may be no surprise, then, that peoplewho volunteer are also happier than thosewho do not. In fact, a 2008 research studyfrom the London School of Economicstitled “Doing Well by Doing Good” exam-ines the relationship between volunteeringand self-reported health and happiness,

finding that the more people volunteered,the happier they were. “Compared withpeople who never volunteered, feeling‘very happy’ rose seven percent amongthose who volunteer monthly and 12 per-cent for people who volunteer every twoto four weeks,” the researchers state.“Among weekly volunteers, 16 percentfelt very happy—a hike in happiness com-parable to having an income of $75,000 to$100,000 versus $20,000.” Meaningfulvolunteer work can be relaxing and fulfill-ing, providing volunteers with renewedcreativity, motivation, and vision that cancarry over into other aspects of their lives.

If you want to give volunteering a tryand simultaneously raise your happinesslevel or lift you out of the doldrums, whynot reach out to a community serviceorganization and get involved?

Nature’s Beauty in the North Country

Last Friday the North Country experi-enced an all-day rain event, ending withabout six inches of snow. On Saturdaymorning as the sun rose through the treesup here on Hill Street, the scene was anabsolute visual masterpiece only Godhimself could pull off!

I had never, in all my nearly 69 years,witnessed a more breathtaking sight thanthe birch trees glistening, each tinyinsignificant branch coated with ice and alayer of fresh snow. If I could sum up thereason I’ll never leave the North Countryin winter for the blah, in-between seasonsof the more southern regions like many ofour friends do, Mother Nature just provid-

ed the answer that morning.Folks, I don’t know about you, but I’m

definitely a four-season man. I have noreason to leave this beautiful little town ofours, until the old fellow upstairs tells meit’s time. Each season brings its own spe-cial joy. To look out some late Marchmorning and see a flock of robins on thefront lawn always brings a smile, whetheror not the day itself might be spring-like.

The smell of black soil when we plantflowers, the smell of the air after a thun-derstorm, the scent of our black locustblossoms on a warm night’s breeze, thesound of the crows on a foggy morn, thesong of a titmouse in the old maple tree,the chatter of a red squirrel in the deepwoods—this is why I can’t leave theNorth Country.

The scent of freshly cut grass, an after-noon nap in the hammock with the one Ilove, a leisurely stroll around town, aSaturday night at open mic, are all reasonsto never leave this great place. The awe-some spectacle of our fall foliage, the firsttime we see frost on those spiderwebs inthe morning grass, the crispness of a late

fall day, this is why I just can’t leave myNorth Country.

The people also make it hard to leave.Like those who we don’t see but maybetwice a year to talk at any length of time,but who have never forgotten to sendGlynda and me an anniversary card eachyear (thank you, Donny and Sandra).

Then there’s my friend Paul Crane, whoallows me to help him tap trees out east,high up on his mountain—a tough jobeven for a young man. All up and downsteep slopes, treading through four feet ofsnow on snowshoes, drilling, tapping andpulling tubing out from under fallen treesall day is job some folks may not chooseto do for any amount of pay. As for for me,I’m just glad Paul doesn’t charge this ol’storyteller for my help!

Leave the North Country? Trade thecold, the snow and the short winter daysfor the warmth of the South each year?Nope, not me. Thank you, though.

Second-Quarter Honors StudentsAnnounced by Lancaster School

Jefferson Christian Church will host apotluck supper starting at 6 p.m. nextFriday, February 21, and the movie“Overcomer” will be shown following themeal. “Overcomer” leaves viewers hopefuland inspired to dream, and asks the ques-tion, “What do you allow to define you?”

Life changes overnight for coach JohnHarrison when his high school basketballteam’s state championship dreams arecrushed under the weight of unexpectednews. When the largest manufacturingplant in town suddenly shuts down andhundreds of families begin moving away,John must come to grips with the chal-lenges facing his family and his team.

Urged by the school’s principal to fill in

and coach a sport he doesn’t know or like,John is frustrated and questioning hisworth, until he crosses paths with a studentstruggling with her own journey. The storyis filled with a powerful faith, a twist ofhumor and a ton of heart.

“Overcomer” is the Kendrick Brothers’newest feature, following “Facing theGiants”, “Fireproof”, “Courageous” andthe number one box office hit “WarRoom.” This inspiring family film starsAlex Kendrick, Priscilla Shirer, ShariRigby and Cameron Arnett, and introducesAryn Wright-Thompson.

All are welcome to this family-friendlyevent, and those seeking more informationmay call Colleen at 837-9339.

Shortly afterwardhe joined the Army and served for manyyears both on active duty and in theNational Guard. He was proud of his serv-ice to his country, and when he was homeon leave he made sure to get some NewEngland clam “chowdah.”

He loved his son James, and moved toGeorgia to be closer to him and be a big-ger part of his life. He enjoyed riding hisfour-wheeler and going to the shootingrange. He loved music and the movies,especially “Star Wars.”

Warren was a truck driver and wasemployed with Thomas Transport Co. atthe time of his passing.

JANICE JUDDJanice Irene Judd, 81, of Pittsburg, died

peacefully, surrounded by family andlove, early on Wednesday morning,February 5, 2020 at Haven Hospice inGainesville, Fla., after a brief illness.

Janice was born in Hereford, Québec, onJuly 19, 1938, and was the eldest daughterof the late Merton and Irene (Hann) Straw.She was raised on the family farm onHereford Hill and attended local schoolsuntil she moved to Pittsburg as a teenagerto live with relatives, and attend PittsburgHigh School. She later proudly became aU.S. citizen.

As a young woman, Janice worked out-side the home cleaning cabins locally andsewing at Manchester Manufacturing(“the coat factory”) in Colebrook. Hermost important job was raising her busyfamily, assisting her husband with his suc-cessful real estate business, and caring forhim during his lengthy illness.

Janice met the love of her life, Willie D.Judd Sr., while in high school. They wed

on June 14, 1955, and celebrated 56 yearsof marriage before his passing in 2011.They made their home and raised theirfamily on Judd Road in Pittsburg, whereshe remained until recently, when shewent to live with her children in Pittsburgin the summer and Florida in the winter.

A kind woman with a generous and lov-ing heart, Janice will forever be remem-bered for her beautiful white hair and herconstant smile. She loved birds, butterfliesand flowers. In earlier years she was anavid gardener, growing the family’s veg-etables and her flowers. She was a talent-ed seamstress, creating may beautifulquilts for family and friends that will becherished forever.

Janice was a longtime member of theAurora Grange and the FarnhamMemorial United Methodist Church, bothin Pittsburg. She was a tireless worker forthe United Methodist Women & Men,raising funds to support her belovedchurch. She was also a founder and amember of the group that created thePittsburg tennis courts in the 1970s, andshe and Willie donated the land on whichthe courts now sit.

Janice’s greatest joy was her family. Sheloved family gatherings and being sur-rounded by her children, grandchildrenand great-grandchildren. She rarelymissed an event in their lives and spentcountless hours in the stands watchinghundreds of soccer, basketball, baseballand softball games over the years. She wasespecially proud of her grandchildren’saccomplishments and made sure they allknew it. Her love was unconditional.

Missing her greatly are her five chil-dren, Willie Judd Jr. and his wife Nancy,Richard Judd and companion Bev Lord,Kevin Judd, and Kim Chase and her hus-band Warren, all of Pittsburg, and VincentJudd and his wife Christine of KeystoneHeights, Fla.; her siblings, Bernard Strawand his wife Marjorie, Barbara Howe andher husband Floyd, and Carlene Prehemoand her husband Robert, all of Pittsburg;two brothers-in-law, Burnham “Bing”Judd of Pittsburg and Archie Judd Sr. ofWest Stewartstown; her grandchildren,Kilee Willey, Jodi Young, Jensen Giroux,Kirby Judd, Hunter Judd, Brooke Judd,Morgan Mahlatini, Lindsey Jones,Lincoln Judd, Marcus Chase, LoganChase, Travis Chase, Nick Windhurst andTucker Windhurst; and her great-grand-children, Kaiden Willey, Kendall Willey,Jaylyn Young, Jaclyn Young, Vera Giroux,Payton Perigney, and Madison Jones.
