     Whitney Ovitt recently traveled to Lewiston, Idaho where she spent three weeks with her Aunt Johanne and Uncle Monte Schmidt. Then she drove back cross-country with her cousin DJ and her grandmother Denise Lague. Denise, formerly of Enosburg Falls, has finally retired and will be spending the next few months in Vermont, Canada, Connecticut and Florida. While in Vermont she will stay with daughter and son-in-law Lisa and Kenny Greco.

     Its time that we welcome Ethan Matthew Silva to proud new parents Matt and Sara Silva, Ethan arrived Sat. August 22, weighing 6 lbs and 11oz.

     On Aug. 27, twelve members of the Green Mountain Ruby Reds went for lunch at the Eastside Restaurant in Newport for Lunch where some of the ladies from Newport were going to join us but only one appeared and she had a good time with us. After lunch we shopped around before returning home.

     John and Lynda Cluba went to Patagonia, Az. to visit their two month old granddaughter Torah'yah, she is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Elliot Cluba.  Lynda will be heading back to S.C. this week where she helps to care for her parents.

     The Community Block Party was cancelled due to the wind, rain and much cooler temps. It sure has felt much better than being sticky in the humidity.

     My niece Pamela Harris and her husband Scott have arrived in Vermont from Texas where it has been hot, she was hoping to come to Vt. and have it hot and humid as we have been telling her, but she never seems to hit our hot days which are few and far between. Pam is the daughter of Allen and Roberta Martin in Enosburg.
