Brattleboro Citizens’ Breakfast
April 17, 2015
Gibson-Aiken Center
Bernie Sanders has announced his intentions to run for the presidency.
“I am running for president.”
Brattleboro, Vermont. On Wednesday May 6, 2015 from 4:00-6:00 PM, Brattleboro Area Hospice will offer an opportunity for people to make a remembrance flag to honor someone who has died. Creating a Remembrance Flag can be a valuable commemoration activity to help individuals with grief. Children are welcome as long as they are accompanied by a responsible adult. No special talent is needed, and all materials will be provided. The flags will hang at the Hospice Memorial Garden on Guilford Street during the coming year, though participants are welcome to take their flag home with them if they prefer.
Here is by far the oddest and coolest thing I have searched out locally. I am looking to rent or borrow, (will not have time to make) a Van de Graff Generator.
Does anyone out there have a lead on one?
I-91
Northbound I-91 traffic has been relocated onto the southbound bridge. Traffic will remain reduced to one lane in each direction on I-91 until completion of the new bridge. The new bridge will be 104’ wide and is designed to carry all four lanes of traffic –two northbound and two southbound.
Route 30
Night work adjacent to Route 30 will continue this week, but will not affect traffic.
The speed limit on Route 30 near the work zone has been reduced to 40 mph. Project-related truck activity on Route 30 will continue. Route 30 will be reduced to a single lane intermittently both day and night, with flaggers regulating traffic within the work zone.
Brattleboro Citizens’ Breakfast Invitation
The Nuclear Decommissioning Citizens Advisory Panel (NDCAP)
The next Brattleboro Citizens’ Breakfast is planned for Friday, May 15, 2015 at the Gibson Aiken Center, downstairs, hosted by Senior Meals. Doors open at 7:30am.
Kate O’Connor will speak in her capacity as Chairperson of the .
With Vermont Yankee closing by the end of this year, the Legislature and Governor believed an advisory panel with more citizen representation squarely focused on decommissioning and site restoration issues at Vermont Yankee would be helpful.
Local Brattleboro artist Ray Arnault presents her work in the Brooks Memorial Library beginning May 1, 2015 at 224 Main Street in Brattleboro, Vermont. Her artistic photographs will be on view throughout the month of May in the ground floor Main Room of the library.
From the library’s balcony, Arnault’s photos of “Stone People” who pose immobilized and mute yet seemingly alive with a sense of purpose and direction, are some of today’s most unique visual displays from a local artist.
Dosa Kitchen’s first day of the season is this Friday, May 1. We’ll open at noon and be there through the evening for Gallery Walk.
Dosa Kitchen offers healthy, delicious South Indian food with a focus on local and organic. All our food is gluten free. Our specialty is the dosa, a fermented rice and lentil crepe eaten by millions of Indians every day.
This year we’ve added dosa wraps with a variety of fillings from chicken curry to falafel to the menu. Wraps are a great gluten-free grab and go lunch option for folks who work downtown.
“We Need to Re-Connect with Nature!”
“I’m ‘wired’ for visionary thinking — though I’m good at mathematics and abstract ideas, I have enough deep compassion to speak out and say, ‘this is not working; we’re out of touch with ancient and deeply spiritual ideas’.
“So I’m a ‘doc’, helping sick people get better, but I’m also a teacher, reminding people of forgotten and misunderstood history, practices, wisdom, and lore.”
Wayne P. London M.D., whose oil portrait by Brattleboro artist William H. Hays (at right) will be displayed in the front window of the new Angel Boy Gallery, next to Shin La Restaurant, during the month of May, 2015 and as part of the Friday, May 1 Gallery Walk.
William H. Hay’s ‘Local Portrait Series’ will be honored and recognized in the front window of the new Angel Boy Gallery, located next to Shin La Restaurant, for a month beginning this Friday. The exhibit will include a few of the actual portraits!
“I Discovered I Could Express A Person’s Essence!” — William H. Hays
“In the early 2000s, I was in an artist’s ‘dry spell’ similar to a writer’s block. Friends counseled me that I ought to try a different approach. I thought about it, then I took a trip overseas to relax and await new inspiration. So I happened to be at the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam and saw a Rembrandt; a portrait of an old woman. I was surprised to discover that because of the qualities of the portrait, I knew who she was! Then I immediately had the thought:
”I can do that!” — William H. Hays
You’re not the same driver you were when you were 16…or 35… or 65. As we age, our driving abilities change and our physical state can influence our behind-the-wheel state, too.

A Local Emergency Operations Plan was endorsed, rules and goals were approved, the Ebola truck was acknowledged, and many grants and grant applications were approved or accepted.

Establishing an independent artistic personality is a key challenge for most photographers, even more so when their name already conjures up one of the best known figures in the field. For photographers in the second half of the twentieth century, the work of Diane Arbus brought a sea change, the arrival of a significant personal vision which has been characterized as rendering strange the familiar and uncovering the familiar in the strange. Most conversant with the art of the past few decades would recognize her work.
For her daughter Amy the first solution was to stay away. She didn’t take up photography seriously until her early twenties. From that point on, however, she has been determined to blaze a path of her own. Today, decades later, we can see where her efforts have taken her.
Alright, enigma fans. Here is another, from today’s Phoenix in 1837. This one is noted as “Original Enigma No. 1,” for what it is worth. Put on your thinking caps and try to solve this if you dare:
