Anthony Salvatore Carnovale

DERRY - Anthony Salvatore Carnovale, 67, of Derry, died April 5, 2014.Tony was born in Priverno, Italy, June 12, 1946, to Eulalia and Salvatore Carnovale. He was the oldest of eight children. In 1955, his family immigrated to the United States and settled in Boston. In Boston, Tony worked hard to learn English and graduate public school. In 1966, after graduating high school, Tony became a U.S. citizen and was drafted by the United States Army. He was a Vietnam vet and was proud to be an American. He took becoming a citizen very seriously and was grateful for all that he had in this country. After the war, Tony went on to college. He attended Lyndon State College and Cape Cod Community College. He earned a Bachelor of Science and a Master's degree in education. During this time, he met the love of his life, Gail Bassett. They married, settled on Cape Cod, Mass., and had two daughters, Tracy and Jennifer. Tony dedicated his life to teaching and coaching. His passion was mentoring the youth in the communities in which he lived. He used his life experiences to help others grow in positive ways. Tony was extremely generous and loyal; he gave more than he had. Tony began his teaching career at the Cape Cod Technical High School, where he taught social studies and coached basketball. He was the teacher/coach that people were drawn to. He became a mentor, friend and advocate for struggling kids and helped them become strong, independent adults. Many former Cape Cod, Mass., students and athletes visited Tony until his final days. After teaching on the Cape, Tony moved his family to Derry, where he began a 31- year tenure at Pinkerton Academy. There he led the boys varsity basketball team to four state championships and won two state titles. He continued his legacy as being the teacher who understood kids and could connect with some of the hardest to reach students. He was loved and admired by the youth within the Derry community. He started basketball camps, directed the town recreation program and built a basketball empire in Derry. Tony spent nearly 10 years as the television anchor of New Hampshire High School Sports Review on WNDS. He then went on to Goffstown and New England College where he continued with his legacy of influencing basketball programs. In 2010 Tony was inducted into the New Hampshire Coaches Hall of Fame and was formally recognized for his intrinsic talent as a coach that many aspire to be. He continues to be highly respected and admired for his superb coaching abilities. Tony was fascinated with other cultures. Russia was particularly close to his heart. He spent many years traveling and visiting friends there. He provided the opportunity for Pinkerton students to travel to Russia for both a basketball and cultural experience. In addition to Russia, Tony traveled to over 35 countries. Tony was an exceptional father and grandfather. He enjoyed boasting about the accomplishments of his daughters and grandsons. True to his generous spirit, he showered them with love and attention. And true to his loyal nature, spending time with them was most important to him. During his brief years in retirement, Tony became an avid writer and wrote eight books. Tony always enjoyed writing, and he finally had time to use his creativity and talent as a writer to create an eclectic collection. During retirement, Tony also enjoyed working in the Manchester school system as he took on several long-term substitute positions. Tony was predeceased by his wife, Gail, in 1994. Tony is survived by his two daughters: Tracy Martel of Fairlee, Vt., and Jennifer Carnovale of Manchester. He is also survived by his grandsons, Noah and Isaac Martel; and sons-in-law Mark Martel and David Wheeler. Tony is survived by his sisters, Rina Lugar, Elena Brown, Susan Reardon; and his brothers, Vincent Carnovale, Mark Carnovale, Frank Carnovale and Steven Carnovale.

Former Nevada City resident ?Bud? Bassett remembered
By Staff Writer Jennifer Terman

Some friends of Howard ?Bud? Bassett, a former longtime resident of Nevada City, were saddened to hear word of his death in a Mogollon, N.M. flash flood in late September.

Bassett, who died at the age of 83, lived in Nevada County from the 1970s until the 1990s, said his former neighbor and close friend Marilyn Tubbs of Nevada City.

While in Nevada County, Bassett partook in his life?s passion of history and antiques, Tubbs said. He bought the inventory in old mercantile stores and operated a mail-order antique business.

?He would buy the inventory, a lot of old vintage historical signs and advertising. That was his big passion,? she said, adding the Smithsonian had called to ask about acquiring his compilations. ?He had one of the country?s most spectacular collections.?

Bassett could be seen at obscure antique trade shows that would require traveling about 1,200 miles away, Tubbs said.

?He had a real passion for old mining towns,? she said. ?I think that was why he liked Nevada County. He loved the history of this old area here and had a real big passion for it.?

Though Bassett had not lived locally for decades, he did keep in touch with Nevada County residents, Tubbs said.

?He was a very modest man and a lot of people knew him,? she said.
Upon word of his death, Tubbs said she was ?devastated,? especially taking into consideration what a strong and active man he was, who seemed years younger than his actual age.

?I had no idea he was in his 80s. I really thought of him as in his early 70s,? she said, adding he was shot down in a helicopter twice in Vietnam and also underwent a bout of cancer in the 1980s, when he was told he only had six months to live.

?He wouldn?t take no for an answer and sought out another doctor,? Tubbs said. ?He survived all of that.?

Bassett moved to Prescott, Ariz., with his wife, Sally, in 1992, according to the Arizona-based Prescott Daily Courier. The Daily Courier included that Bassett was born in Berkeley and received a bachelor?s degree in paleontology from University of California, Berkeley and his master?s degree in fisheries biology at the University of Colorado at Ft. Collins.

The paper also includes that Bassett earned 23 medals during his tour with the Arizona Army Guard as a Chinook helicopter pilot from 1966 to 1967. He came home with 15 Air Medals, two Air Medals with a ?V? for valor, one Distinguished Flying Cross for Heroism, two Bronze Stars, two Army commendation medals, and a Vietnamese Cross for Gallantry.

Bassett?s survivors include his daughters, Jan Wardle and her husband, Scott, and Sally Day; six grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.
The family suggests donations in Bassett?s name to United Animal Friends, P.O. Box 11133, Prescott AZ 86304 or the Yavapai Humane Society, 1625 Sundog Ranch Road, Prescott AZ 86301.

The Late Alden Bass
Brief Sketch of His Dramatic Career
High Tribute to His Personal Character

The following tribute to the late Alden Bass is taken from the New York Dramatic Mirror:
Alden Bass, the actor, who this season was a member of Sylvia Lynden?s company playing the Gay Lord Quex, died in St. Joseph?s Hospital, Milwaukee, on February 19. For some time he had been suffering from a malady of the stomach, but he insisted upon playing until his condition made such an effort impossible. On the night of February 15, he played his role of Sri Chichester Frayne, though suffering greatly, in Milwaukee. The next day he was removed to the hospital, and three days later he passed away. The immediate cause of his death was heart failure.
During this comparatively brief career on the stage Alden Bass won considerable honor as an actor, and beyond that ? and greater than that ? he won the esteem and most cordial regard of every one with whom he came into personal contact. He was a man of dignified, noble mind, of high ambitions and of gentle breeding. His attitude toward his art was that of a sincere disciple, and in his relations with his fellow players he bore himself ever as a kindly, thoughtful gentleman.
Alden Bass came of an old and prominent New England family, and was born in Vermont about forty years ago. His relatives were not in sympathy with his dramatic ambitions, and during the years of his early manhood he devoted himself to other pursuits. During that period, however, he was a student at the Boston School of Oratory and managed to prepare himself excellently for a stage career. Seven or eight years ago, after appearing with small companies, he made his first important essay as an actor in the company of the late James A. Herne. For several seasons he played under the direction of that master of realism, and profited much by his instruction. His Squire Andrews in Shore Acres, was a notably good performance. Later he made a personal success as Simkins in Vermont, and three years ago he played a season on the road under Frederick G. Berger?s management, in the late Sol Smith Russell?s role of Noah Vale in the Poor Relation. He also appeared in Peaceful Valley with great success. This season he entered a different line of work in the Gay Lord Quex, and was genuinely successful as Sir Chichester as he had been in portraying quaint American characters. On the day following the death of Mr. Bass, his brother, Dr. G.E. Bass of Chicago, went to Milwaukee and took the remains to Williamstown, Vt., where they were interred in the family lot.

Mildred Vorpahl Baass

? VISITATION: 6-7 p.m. Friday at Rosewood Funeral Chapel

? SERVICE: 10 a.m. Saturday at Our Lady of Victory Cathedral

? BURIAL: Will follow at Catholic Cemetery No. 2

She lived through the Great Depression, served behind the front lines in World War II, was widowed, remarried and a mother to two daughters.

And Mildred Vorpahl Baass, poet laureate of Texas from 1993 to 1995, wrote about it all.

"The world is so beautiful. There is poetry everywhere. And I am from the school of poetic expression that feels poetry should express beauty, should not be base or vulgar," she said in the Stoneflower Literary Journal, Volume 1.

Baass, of Victoria, died Nov. 4 at age 95, still writing poetry, said her daughter, Nancy Baass.

She wrote poems in a variety of styles, from free verse to sonnets, and wrote on multiple subjects from the horrors of war to sea shells on Padre Island.

"That is what poetry she said was all about, was trying to reach people and to express experiences that we all share, and to put it into words that are poetic," her daughter said.

Nancy Baass said they traveled all over Texas and the United States after she was named poet laureate, living up to her mother's slogan, "Have poem, will travel."

"We called it our poetic great adventure," her daughter said. "We went all over Texas - towns we had never heard of."

She said they even bought a Winnebago to make life on the road easier, going as far away as Pennsylvania for Baass to speak.

Carol Sowa, Baass' oldest daughter, said her mother's death will leave a gap in the family.

"She was a wonderful, vibrant person that always had a sense of wonder and excitement for a variety of things in life," Sowa said. "When we went on family vacations, we always had to stop at every historical site ... and explore things."

Budd Powell Mahan, a former president of the Poetry Society of Texas, said Baass, also a member, left her mark on Texas poetry.

"I just clearly remember her at some of the banquets I went to because she was just so exuberant when she would win. She would just jump up and down and run up to the microphone - it was so wonderful," Mahan said.

Baass was expected to go to the society's annual awards banquet Nov. 10, and Mahan said she was missed.

"People just kept speaking tributes to her, it wasn't even planned or anything ... And that just doesn't always happen. We have had really important people die, and it didn't impact members as much as Mildred's passing. I think she meant a lot to a lot of people," Mahan said.

Mahan said Baass never stopped writing poetry and was still involved in the Poetry Society of Texas.

"I think that is why people live to be old, because they don't give up living. They keep thinking about, 'What is the next thing?' And she was always thinking about the next thing," Mahan said.

Nancy Baass said her mother lived up to her goal of spreading poetry throughout Texas.

"I want to encourage and promote poetry in Texas. We live in a great state that has great diversity. Although our state is known for cowboy poetry, we don't want people to think that's the only poetry in Texas. There are other kinds, too," Baass said in a 1994 Advocate article.

Marguerite Cottle (Picture included)

Marguerite (Elizabeth) Bassett Cottle died Monday, Oct. 7 in the comfort of her own home and surrounded by those who loved her. She was the daughter of John Dunham Bassett and Sarah (Graham).

Marguerite was born June 14, 1919 on her Bassett family farm on South Road and was the eldest Chilmark resident still residing in the town of her birth.
On Feb. 25, 1940 she married Eric Wesley Cottle at the Chilmark Church. Eric, a lobsterman and a swordfisherman, predeceased her in April 2010. They never cared to venture much farther than their home in Menemsha, where they were quite content, although she had fond memories of a Florida vacation and a few shorter trips over the years.

Marguerite enjoyed her lifestyle on South Road, where she and her family were centrally located to walk where they needed to go without having to rely on an automobile. She attended school in Chilmark and graduated from Tisbury High School in 1936. For a very brief time in her teens, she worked outside her home as a waitress at the Blue Barque teahouse. As a homemaker, her standards were impeccable. She maintained her home and cooked for herself until 2013. Her old family recipes were hers to treasure and still very delicious, especially when she continued to bake on occasion. She also was proud of not having to depend on a microwave oven her entire life.
She was a member of the Chilmark Conservation Commission for many years. She also was a member of the Chilmark Church, where she taught Sunday school. Additionally, she provided the altar flowers every Sunday, usually from her own garden.

Her unofficial responsibilities included keeping the family history, the lore and the photographs of not only her Bassett family line, but that of Eric?s Cottle family line. All were original settlers of the Vineyard.

She was the fortunate recipient of many boxes of Chilmark Chocolates over the years. She also enjoyed her York Peppermint Patties and Milky Ways. Family and friends would stop by with gifts of lobster for her, or baked stuffed shrimp, scallops, plants, beautiful fragrant flowers and many homemade delicacies that she enjoyed. There were those who stopped by to enjoy an afternoon Red Sox or New England Patriots game with her as well, her favorite teams. She was a staunch Republican, and also strongly supported social causes for children, animals and veterans. Bird feeders surrounded her home. The wild birds were well fed, as were the turkeys, rabbits, squirrels and one little chipmunk. Her wit and wisdom followed her throughout her years, even in her final days.

She is survived by her children Wesley Cottle and Martha Cottle, both of Chilmark. She was the grandmother of Jennifer Arms of New Jersey and great grandmother of Kaitlyn and Jakob Arms. She is also survived by her niece, Sheila (Arno) Jason and her family, and by her nephew, Spencer Hilton and his family. She was predeceased by her beloved Eric in 2010, by their son Jon in 1961, and by her only sister Bertha (Bassett) Arno in 1973.
