    Pope Benedict Praised The UN & Subsidiarity (Rev. MLK Jr Praised the Peace Movement!)  View Printable Version  
    Tuesday, May 13 2008 @ 12:09 AM EDT
    Contributed by: jay janson

    ActivismDear iBrattleboro activists,
    The Pope praised the Principle of Subsidiarity, which of course can be twisted for most any use, I imagine. I took it as its intended grassroots over central power and posted it in our OEN study group, "Capitalism - a Threat to Life on Earth."

    appreciatively,
    jay

    PetsI have a 16-17 year old cat that pretty much does not do anything anymore but lay on the kitchen floor only to get up to eat and use the litter box.

    He used to be a rather large cat, around 20-22 pounds but now when I pat him I have to be gentle as all I feel are his bones mostly.

    Questions & AnswersJust wondering if anyone knows what happened with the power last night. Part of 142 was closed off and the power was off from Flat st down to cotton mill hill. I checked the reformer site, the Rutland Herald, and the radio stations and there is nothing on there. There were also 2 fire trucks at Key Bank. Any info?

    A Year After Wantastiquet Fire  View Printable Version  
    Sunday, May 11 2008 @ 06:16 PM EDT
    Contributed by: Anonymous

    NatureJust about one year ago Wantastiquet Mountain experienced a significant forest fire across the river from Brattleboro. The area that burned is visible this spring and I decided to take a walk with my camera to see the changes. Finding the area was not difficult but the terrain is steep and rocky.
