Four-unit townhouse proposed for Lincoln Road
Front and rear views of the townhouse proposal.
A proposal for a four-unit multifamily townhouse near condos on Ridge Road will be the subject of a Planning Board public hearing on May 13.
The 2.1-acre parcel was formerly owned by the Teabo family (Prince Teabo died in 2018 and his wife Betty in 2022) that’s accessed by an existing private right of way running from Lincoln Road to Greenridge Lane. The land isn’t part of the recently rezoned Housing Choice Act area; it’s in the R-2 General Residence District, where townhouses are allowed by right with a site plan review by the Planning Board.
Applicant Fabio Andrade hopes to replace the single-family home on the property with a flat-roofed two-story structure covering 2,262 square feet with four two-bedroom units built over above-ground garage parking.
Jean Loud Mallary, 1935–2025
Jeannie Loud Mallary
(Editor’s note: This obituary was updated with corrections on April 25.)
Jeannie Mallary — beloved mother, wife, and friend — passed away peacefully on April 1, 2025, overlooking the Connecticut River, as it ran by the property of her late husband’s family farm. She was surrounded by her loving family. Even though her 89- year-old mind was still sharp as a tack and her interest in politics, art, and all manner of intellectual pursuits was as vibrant as ever, she knew her body was failing her rapidly. She courageously chose her own death with dignity, thanks to Act 39 — a bill she and her late husband worked hard to have passed here in Vermont.
Jeannie was the daughter of John and Mary Loud and raised in Lincoln, Mass., in a household filled with music. She was predeceased by her parents and brothers, John (Jock) and Rob. Not long after graduating from Radcliffe, she fell in love with and married Jonathan N. Brownell and they moved to Maple Corner in Calais, Vt., where they raised their three children. Jeannie was an active member of each community she lived in: volunteering, hosting, and generally being involved. She was the very first librarian at the brand-new Calais Elementary School, a role that brought her passion for stories and literature to that place, and inspired many young people’s curiosity thereby.
Music filled her life and she passed it on whenever she could. Jeannie most enjoyed directing and singing in numerous local choirs. It was the Old West Church in Calais that was closest to her musical heart. Another lifelong passion was her love of horses and horsemanship. In the second half of her life, Jeannie married her second great love, Richard Mallary, with whom she spent 32 wonderful years before his passing. Her professional life expanded. Among her many endeavors, Jeannie served as director of the Vermont Ethics Network, championing all manner of concerns ethical with a particular emphasis on end-of-life issues.
In her final years, she lived in Hanover, N.H., first among many friends at Willow Springs Circle and then at Kendal at Hanover, where she was warmly welcomed and cared for. She leaves behind her three loving children, eight grandchildren, two (soon four) great-grandchildren, and many, many beloved relatives and friends. We will all miss her very much. Goodbye, Mum. Goodbye, Didi. Goodbye, Jeannie. We love you!
A celebration of life was held on April 18, 2025 in the Gathering Room at Kendal at Hanover. Memorial contributions may be made to the Old West Church in Calais and the Big Life Foundation. Arrangements are under the direction of Day Funeral Home in Randolph, Vt. To leave a message for the family or to send flowers or plant a tree in remembrance, click here.

Lincoln marks 250th anniversary of “shot heard ’round the world”
Lincoln residents were out in force as both spectators and participants during the Patriots’ Day weekend celebration marking the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War. Activities in town included the alarm and muster reenactment on Sunday, April 20 and the dawn tribute and march to Concord on Monday, in addition to the reenactments and parade in Lexington and Concord on Saturday.
There were no major injuries or arrests over the weekend, though several reenactors wearing heavy wool uniforms on Saturday were treated for heat-related illnesses when temperatures reached 80 degrees, and two were taken to the hospital, Lincoln Fire Chief Brian Young reported. They subsequently received an additional eight cases of water. The only minor disturbance came when an unauthorized man from out of state dressed in redcoat garb attempted to join the reenactment and was asked to leave, Police Chief Sean Kennedy said.

Four-legged furry visitors
Lincoln yards were visited by some wildlife on April, the night there was a dusting of snow, and thanks to motion-detecting outdoor cameras, we have them on tape (or on pixels), and residents shared them on LincolnTalk. Click an image to play the video.
Mollye Lockwood’s camera caught this curious black bear, complete with sound effects.
Most likely the same bear…
“I caught this guy on the trail cam around 6:30 this morning. Super cute. Hide ya chickens,” John Nolan wrote. (NOTE: After you hit the Play button, move your cursor arrow out of the frame to get a clear view.)
Another glimpse of the feline from Lockwood’s camera.
…And on April 15, “our bobcat returned.” Nolan wrote. “Judging by the tail wag, she seems happy.”
Once again, we are put in mind of the humorous Onion “news” video about a similar occurrence (note: language rated R.)
