PARMALEE & HOWE BUILDING

A local nonprofit has purchased the flood-damaged Parmalee & Howe Building in downtown Wilmington, Vt.. The Wilmington Fund, working with the Preservation Trust of Vermont, purchased the building on the corner of Routes 9 and 100, from Stern Holding Company Inc. for $200,000. Board Chairman Dan Kilmurray said his organization wants to renovate and lease the space within the multiunit building and then sell it. "Long-term we’re not interested in being landlords," he said. "We’d like to have our assets liquid to continue to help other business owners." Contractor Scott Reed, of Whitingham, Vt., was hired to start basic renovations and flood mitigation of the building. Wilmington suffered more than $13 million damage when Tropical Storm Irene flooded the area in August, destroying hundreds of homes and businesses. The 1930 brick building with its arched windows, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places, first housed a drug store with a soda fountain; later occupants have been a hardware store, an upscale clothing boutique, and a coffee shop. Kilmurray added that the village economy won’t work without tenants in this building: "It’s incredibly visible. Anyone that comes into the town gets a bird’s eye view of the building. It needs to be occupied." While some downtown businesses have reopened recently, many others don’t have the financial resources to rebuild and repair their damaged buildings.

... and from Killingworth, Conn., comes word that former Selectman Jerry Lucas and Watchdog partner Michael Board addressed concerns about the Parmelee Farm complex's financial impact on the town. The farm off State Route 81 in Killingworth. Under the terms of the lease signed in 2010, the town is responsible for the upkeep and maintenance of the 150-year-old farmhouse and its surrounding area, which is intended to be restored and used as the Killingworth Historical Society’s headquarters. The house, observers say, is in such a deteriorated shape that it could cost $700,000 to make inhabitable, grossly exceeding the estimate provided by the historical society when it applied for the lease. "I want to stress that we are not against the restoration project itself," Lucas said in a statement after the meeting. "The problem is that the price tag is far beyond what we’ve been told." The homestead belonged to Horace Linsley and Eunice Maria (Parmelee) Parmelee.

ROSS PARMLEY

Retiring Tulsa president Steadman Upham has announced that interim athletic director Ross Parmley will be the Golden Hurricane's new AD after serving in the role for three months. He succeeds Bubba Cunningham who left for a similar job at North Carolina. Upham said the school's governing board decided not to wait until after his own retirement in June to act in light of conference realignment talks and discussions with the NCAA. "I just felt it was better for our university to have a leader who had stability and roots, who could represent us in the discussions with greater credibility," Upham said. "We were very, very fortunate that we had Ross. He is ready and able to step in." The 38-year-old Ross first served as director of football operations starting in 2005, then was the school's associate athletic director for operations administration for four years. He became deputy athletic director a month before Cunningham left in mid-October. "Our focus will be on the merger with Mountain West and Conference USA," Ross said. "The changes at the BCS level will have an effect on that, but our focus will be how we better position ourselves to the merger of the Mountain West. There are great opportunities from television revenue to a more stable conference long term will be a great asset to us in the future." Ross said he thought there was "a great possibility" that merger talks will involve all sports, not just football. Parmley inherits a football program that has made seven bowl appearances in the past nine years and a men's basketball team that hasn't made the NCAA tournament since 2003. "The state of our program is good. We want to get to great," Ross said.

• Luke Palmerlee, an American investment banker in Sydney, Australia, says the preponderance of small towns in the United States might explain the difference in home entertainment. ''I grew up in a small town in Wyoming and if someone came to visit, you would invite them home because the options were subpar. ,'' he said. "In Sydney, if you wanted to show visitors the best bits, why invite them home when you could take them to Tetsuya's [restaurant]?'' Luke was quoted in a story based on a survey that showed Australians are less likely to invite friends and neighbors home for a meal or to meet the family than Americans.

... and from Killingworth, Conn., comes word that residents have overwhelmingly approved the town's decision to lease the farmhouse at Parmelee Farm to the Killingworth Historical Society. Nearly all of the roughly 150 residents that showed up to Killingworth Elementary School for the town meeting affirmed an agreement that had been in place for about year before its validity was recently questioned by two residents. Last year, town officials agreed to lease the farmhouse to the society for $1 per year for 99 years, with a requirement that the society be responsible for the interior upkeep of the building. A shorter lease was granted for the garage behind the farmhouse as well. After two residents questioned the process this fall, a selectman scheduled the town meeting to avoid any further discrepancy over whether the town charter required the lease to be approved by voters. The homestead belonged to Horace Linsley and Eunice Maria (Parmelee) Parmelee. Horace [1819-1898; Moses, Asahel, Lemuel, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, John, John] and Maria [1822-1905; Rufus, Cornelius, Josiah, Nathaniel, Nathaniel, John, John] were third cousins.
