HARRIET MANGELS Harriet Ann (Geidel) Mangels, 96, of Littleton and formerly of Danbury, Conn., died on Tuesday, December 30, 2014 at the Grafton County Nursing Home in North Haverhill. She was the widow of Robert D. Mangels. Born in the Bronx, N.Y., on February 25, 1918, she was the daughter of the late Alfred and Sarah (Stafford) Geidel. After graduating from high school in 1936, she went to work to help her family through the Depression and war years. Following the war and while working at American Can Company, she met the love of her life, Robert D. Mangels, and they were married on May 24, 1947. While raising her family in Hicksville, N.Y., she was active at St Stephen’s Church, and with the American Legion Auxiliary. Upon moving to Danbury in 1968, Harriet joined St Paul’s Church and later the Danbury Drum Corps Auxiliary, and secretly took classes to obtain a driver’s license at age 51. She returned to American Can (then in Greenwich) for a few years, and they both retired in 1976. Later Harriet and Bob joined King Street Church, which lead them to more wonderful people, lasting relationships, and activities including the choir, special chorus and annual plays. Together they tutored at a local school and added senior bowling leagues to their many activities. Their love story was interrupted two days after their 60th wedding anniversary by Bob’s death. Harriet was sustained by her special friends for several years. She moved to Riverglen House in Littleton in April of 2012, but never transitioned well from serving others to having to be served. As aging necessitated, Harriet moved to The Morrison Nursing Home in Whitefield and finally to the Grafton County Nursing Home in December. In addition to her parents and her beloved husband, Harriet was preceded in death by sisters Florence Sherbo and Adelaide Taylor. Harriet is survived by sons William H. Mangels II of Las Vegas, Nev., Robert A. Mangels and his wife Carole of South Hadley, Mass., and Thomas R. Mangels and his wife Linda of Colebrook; grandchildren Robert, James, Brian-Jack and Barbara Mangels, Scott (Sally) Mosher of Littleton, and Amy (Mark) SullivanMartini of Colebrook; great-grandchildren Ramey and Meggie Harper-Mangels, Jared and Julius Sullivan and Jamie Martini; three nieces, five nephews, and some very special friends. The family received friends at the Hull Funeral Home in Danbury, Conn., on Monday evening, January 5. A funeral was held at the King Street United Church of Christ in Danbury on Tuesday, with burial at Wooster Cemetery in Danbury.

(Arlene Allin photo) Three-Day Dogsled Race Postponed until March Due to Lack of Snow Organizers of the Great North Woods Sled Dog Challenge have postponed the event due to the lack of snow. Milan, Pittsburg and Colebrook will each host a stage of the second annual race, which will likely be rescheduled for mid-March. “We are disappointed that we need to do this but were aware from the start that there was a risk in planning a race for midJanuary,” said Jaye Foucher of the North Country Mushers said on Monday. “We were hoping that last night’s storm would dump the predicted foot of snow on the trails, but the report we received from Pittsburg today was that they only received around four inches in the North Country. We would need well over a foot more of snow to hold the race, and there are no significant storms in the long-range forecast.” Ms. Foucher said the postponement is a plus in some ways, as it provides more time to promote the race and raise a larger purse, and she said there were a few racers who couldn’t make the January date but can participate in March. “In addition, it gives us time to do something that has been requested: add a second class to the race with shorter distances, a ‘sprint’ stage class,” she said. “This should draw in even more racers.” The North Country Mushers coordinate this event with additional help from the Colebrook Ski-Bees, Pittsburg Ridge Runners and White Mountain Ridge Runners. The new schedule will be announced as soon as the new dates are confirmed among all participating organizations, and updates may be found on-line at www.NHStageRace.com.

Anyone who knows these two can tell you that this gesture of kindness isn’t anything new. The entire Cotter family is legendary in these parts for their many random acts of kindness, just because. So I sent them thank-you notes, but a few days later, Norman’s was returned. I mailed it using the address in the phone book, but whoever delivers the mail up there couldn’t stick it in his mailbox because of a glitch in the address. I was mildly annoyed. Who doesn’t know where Norman and Bonnie Cotter live? They’ve lived in the same place for years. Well, so be it. Shortly thereafter Glynda and I were on our way to the Job Lot, so I stopped at Norman’s and stuffed the note in his mailbox myself. Then, just this last Christmas season, it happened again. We mailed a Christmas card to John and Pam Jaworowski, who live in Groveton. John is the manager at Schurman Motors in Lancaster, and the president of the Northern Gateway Chamber of Commerce. John and Pam are a well-known and well respected couple in the North Country. However, our mail person up there, again for the reason of a small glitch in addressing, couldn’t find their home. It must be tough for our mail carriers in Groveton trying to locate just one out of the thousands of Jaworowski families in town. Many years ago my Aunt Edna once told me of a story that took place in 1945. She was a young lady in her twenties who, like so many young women during World War II, had a sweetheart in the Army. His name was Richard Monahan. It was almost two months since Edna had received a letter from Dick, and the news coming from overseas was bleak. The Battle of the Bulge had raged on for 45 days and she knew Dick’s company was involved in this terrible battle. Then one night near the tail end of February, while a Northeaster was blowing outside dumping tons of snow at around 8:30 p.m., the Rosebrook family was about to turn off the radio and head upstairs to bed. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door. For those who lived during that time, a knock at the door this late at night isn’t good. Edna’s brother Vernon was in the Army. The entire family froze—please don’t let it be a telegram, they were all thinking. Finally, gathering some courage, Edna got up and answered the door. It was Leonard James, the postmaster. He’d stayed late at the post office, as he did most nights, due to the huge amount of mail that had to be sorted for the next day. Then Mr. James came across a letter from Dick Monahan—a letter written on a battlefield 4,000 miles away, loaded onto a truck, from there to a plane bound for New York City. This little letter then traveled by train north to White River, transferred to another train and finally made its way to the Lancaster post office. In the kindest of gestures, as tired as he was, Mr. James walked all the way from the post office, up to 122 Middle Street and handed this most important letter to Edna personally. (Gasoline was in short supply, so he walked to work every day). “I knew that you’d want this letter as soon as possible, Edna—it’s from Dick.” I believe the address, whether correct or not, was of no consequence to him. He simply did the right thing. This is something that our small towns were known for, personal stuff the big cities lacked— until now, it seems. I’m not sure what Mr. James’ salary was back then, but I doubt it would be the monetary equivalent of the $40,000 to $60,000, along with the excellent benefits, that our postal workers enjoy today. After knowing the above heartwarming story that took place during the worst of times, for me, not having John and Pam’s Christmas card delivered is small potatoes. Not to worry, though—I hand-delivered it to John myself on Christmas Eve at the Schurman Motor Company, wrong address and all.

He lived his later years at Michaud Memorial Manor in Derby Line, Vt., and the past two years at the Coös County Nursing Hospital in West Stewartstown. Bob enjoyed the simple things of life. Making puzzles, doing word search, playing table games (especially Crazy 8) and watching select TV shows were among his favorite things to do. While at Michaud Manor, an assisted living facility run by the Catholic Diocese of Burlington, Bob enjoyed visiting with other residents, praying the rosary with them and attending Mass when possible. Bob was loved by his caretakers and residents wherever he resided. He had a special way of bringing joy into life. He is survived by his father, Bernard Routhier of Pillsbury Manor South in South Burlington, Vt., and his step-mom, Angele (Garneau) Routhier of Lemington and Florida; his brothers, Guy (Lorraine Bessette) of Maricopa, Ariz., Gerard (Paulette Beaudrias), Rene (Gini Mulcahy), Eric (Michele Prive) and Denault “Dino” (Bobbie Jo), all of Bloomfield; his sisters, Huguette “Yogi” (Edward) Poulin of Columbia, Lori Routhier of Danby, Vt., Pauline “Poli” (Roger) Beaudoin of South Burlington, Colette Routhier Swain of Colebrook, and Josee (Robert) Feezor of San Jose, Calif. He also leaves 29 nieces and nephews, 27 great-nieces and nephews, and a greatgreat-niece and nephew, along with several aunts and uncles.

Those who have not yet applied for assistance are encouraged to contact one of CAP’s local offices to make an appointment. The Fuel Assistance Program provides grants for eligible households to help pay for their heating expenses. Applications for this seasonal program will be taken through the end of April. Both renters and homeowners may qualify for the program, which determines eligibility by household size and gross household income. Benefits are provided in the form of a credit with the heating supply vendor. The program can also assist tenants who pay for their heat indirectly through their rent. Applicants are required to apply for assistance each heating season and submit documentation for household members and their income. The Electric Assistance Program can provide a discount on a household’s monthly electric bill. This program operates year-round, and again, both renters and homeowners are eligible. The electric bill must be in the name of an adult household member. Eligibility is determined taking into account household size and gross income. The level of discount is determined by the household income with the lowest income households receiving the largest discount amount. Household must recertify each year to remain eligible. Income guidelines are listed by household size and 30-day income limit: one person, $1,919; two people, $2,586; three people, $3,253; four people, $3,920; five people, $4,588; six people, $5,255; seven people, $5,923; eight people, $6,590.

SPECIAL PRESENTATION Spartan Tim Voigt accepted the MVP trophy from young Ashton Kenison, then offered his hand for a shake at the end of the Groveton Holiday Hoop Classic. (Arlene Allin photo) Cyan Magenta Yellow Black Haitian-American poet and educator Mckendy Fils-Aimé will offer workshops, performances and open mics during a week-long residency in northern New Hampshire from January 11-18, including a performance in Colebrook on the 15th. Writers, youth, families and the public are invited to participate in the events, presented by the Arts Alliance of Northern New Hampshire and taking place in Bethlehem, Berlin, Bristol, Colebrook, Jackson, Lincoln, Plymouth and Tamworth. Mckendy performs slam poetry, an exciting and energetic performance style of poetry that engages youth and adults alike. An organizer and co-host of the long-running and wildly popular “Slam Free or Die” in Manchester, Mckendy teaches poetry to students and adults in New Hampshire and Massachusetts, and has competed at poetry slams throughout the country. A seven-time veteran of the National Poetry Slam and a Pushcart nominee, he resides in Manchester and is currently working on his debut poetry collection, “Prayer in the Cracks.” “Slam is one of today’s most exciting ways to introduce poetry to students,” said Mckendy. “This performance style makes poetry accessible for everyone. I’m looking forward to sharing my own story and working with local students and community members to explore new approaches to poetry and storytelling.” “If you’ve never heard of slam poetry or been to a poetry slam, you won’t want to miss your chance for an introduction,” says Friday, January 9, 2015 THE NORTH WOODS WEEKLY Page Seven Calendar of Events UPCOMING EVENTS SATURDAY, JAN. 10 • Open Mic & Cabin Fever Concert featuring Ashley Miles & Victor Tremblay, 6:30 p.m. at The Guild Hall, Rt. 102 in Guildhall, Vt.

Would like to meet an active woman for possible relationship, who enjoys doing things outdoors in all seasons such as gardening, trips out west, visiting local scenic spots, hiking, dining out, snowshoeing, etc. Ideally mid-60s to mid-70s, 5’2”-5’6” tall, average to slender, who likes affection and is affectionate. I am very honest & caring and feel a woman is an equal. I am in my late 70s, in very good health and active. I am not perfect, when I was 13, a thug threw a sharp stone and caused serious damage to my right eye, but that hasn’t stopped me from doing anything I wanted, including soloing aircraft over cities and countryside with FAA Officials signing my log book. I have the body-build of a 60-year-old or younger. I am not into playing games with someone’s life and expect the same. I have many interests including photography, medicine, adventure, and too many to list. I’m very willing to share knowledge of mutual interests. I like doing things together as much as practical as I feel it brings a couple closer. Life is short and passes us by too fast, as there is so much to enjoy. Above all, it is love that bonds two together and is number 1! Would like that we meet for lunch in a quiet setting of your choice to start and see where it goes from there.
