The trick with courage is realizing that it isn't so much about
overcoming fear, as it is about not settling for less. And then, it
comes as effortlessly as a midsummer's night breeze. Whhhoooooosh,
feel it.

Riddle: Land of the Liars - You are lost in a land of the honest
and dishonest. The honest people can only tell the truth, and the
dishonest people can only lie. You need to ask for directions, so
you approach a group of three people and ask if they are honest.
The first man says, "Two of us are honest," and the second man
says, "Actually only one of us is honest." The third man says,
"That last man who spoke is honest." How many are honest and which
ones? Answer below.
The Rochester Recreation Committee presents its annual summer
concert series on the park in Rochester village on Sunday evenings

in the 1950's. Rochester trumpet player Louis Donnet is a longtime
member of the band. The Rochester Recreation Committee encourages
you to bring your dancing shoes, a lawn chair or blanket, and a
picnic basket packed with your favorites.

community would like to thank Estelle Holmquist and Nance Parrish
for providing beautiful and caring receptions following funeral

service and much appreciation is extended. Becky Donnet is now the
new contact for the Women's Alliance funeral receptions. If your
family or if you know of a family in need of a funeral reception,
please contact Becky at 767-3098 or the church office at 767-3012.

The Green Mountain Club has released its first Killington Area
Hiking Trail Map. These maps are part of a waterproof series that
highlights major areas of interest around the state. These maps are
available through the club of at select local businesses. For more
information contact the club at 802-244-7037. The Green Mountain
Club also produces maps of the entire Long Trail and Day Hiker's
Guides.
Riddle solution: None are honest. For the third man to be honest
would mean the second and third are honest, which contradicts what
the second man said. Therefore they are both lying. If both are
lying, there cannot be two that are honest, meaning that the first
man is also lying.
