Get your tickets now! Join the Friends of Brooks Memorial Library on Friday, March 21, at 7:30 PM, for a concert to support the services and programs at Brooks Memorial Library–The Land Where the Blues Began: Images and Music of the Mississippi Delta with Scott Ainslie.
Scott Ainslie has combed the Library of Congress photo archives and combined archival photos with his own images of the Mississippi Delta for a concert tour that explores this formative region of the American South.

Anyone know a good, reasonably priced plumber to install a kitchen sink?
Today I saw two separate small flocks of Robins, one in Guilford and one in Brattleboro.
Judy Garland had a CBS Sunday night TV show in the early 1960’s – The Judy Garland Show.
It comes at a somewhat depressing point in her life. After years of being fed uppers and downers by movie studios, getting divorced, and getting into some serious debt and contractual problems, she was in a difficult spot. TV success, those around her reasoned, might be the only thing to pull her life back into order.
She was 40 years old when this was filmed. It got four Emmy nominations.

-What are the possibilities – and examples – of alternative monetary systems and currencies?
I decided to run as a write in candidate for the one year Brattleboro Select Board seat on March 4th. I figure that this should not be a walk-in. I am one of the District 3 reps and plan to continue as such. I do not support the present plans for the Police and Fire as they stand and know there are other alternatives and how this will effect the property taxes in the future. How many cuts can you make without shredding all of the necessary needs of this community?
Please write me in:

I was wondering if anyone can tell me the seating capacity of the old town hall in Brattleboro. Specifically, I’m wondering how many people could fit into the second floor of the building.
Anyone have a solid number to offer?

A donation for as little as $7 can make a difference, and yes, you get a cafe drink as a reward. It really is that easy.
Mocha Joe’s has helped more than 50 farmers get organic certification.(To make the program sustainable they need to certify many more.)
Mocha Joe’s is also helping to set up a fund so that the farmers can avoid taking out loans at rates that are as high as 200%. How? By funding the local credit union. Every dollar we raise, helps create that fund, and help the farmers join the credit union.
Dear President Maduro, slanderous Western media, promoting war and violence for capital gains of the mercilessly amoral automaton functioning speculative interest banking industry, has put you in their spotlight to better target you with defamation. This is then your opportunity to be heard a bit world-wide. In telling the truth about the USA, you will be protecting all of us, Venezuela included.
I am curious as to who is running for the Brattleboro Town School Board this year.
Southeastern Vermont Economic Development Strategies (SeVEDS) support requests will be on the Town Meeting warning in ten Southeastern Vermont towns this Tuesday March 4th. For the third year in a row SeVEDS is asking towns to support the regional effort at a $3 per person calculation.
The aging and declining population in the Windham Region has impacted the size and quality of the overall workforce, regional employers’ ability to grow, and the ability to maintain funding for quality of life priorities for residents. SeVEDS considers reversing this trend to be beyond the capacity of individual towns, and credits its regional board and regional funding with demonstrating that all towns in southeastern Vermont have a stake in growing the regional economy and workforce.
This morning we learn that there is a write-in candidate for the one year Brattleboro Selectboard seat. Former candidate Kathryn Turnas II announced her candidacy in an email this morning:
“I plan on running as a write-in candidate for the one year Select Board seat. If you decide to write me in please use Kathryn Turnas II.
Thanks in advance and see you at the polls.”

What is film noir? Literally it means “black film” and it is a Hollywood genre of crime movie of the 1940’s and 50’s that developed mostly out of the Great Depression crime fiction.
Spring is just around the corner and the Strolling of the Heifers is gearing up to make more connections between farmers and the community with their first annual Spring Gardening and CSA Preview.
The event will be held on Sunday, March 9, 11 a.m. – 4 p.m. at the Stroll’s new headquarters, the Robert H. Gibson River Garden in downtown Brattleboro.
CSA’s are community-supported agricultural ventures. CSA members or subscribers pay at the onset of the growing season for a share of the anticipated harvest; once harvesting begins, they receive weekly shares of vegetables, fruit, meat, cheese, eggs or other products depending on the farm.
