Hello.

WVEW-lp has not been broadcasting over the air today (Tuesday March 1st). The windstorm last night knocked down trees near our transmitter location, taking out the electrical circut which services our transmitter. We’d hoped that service would have been restored much earlier today, but as of this writing, it is still out. As there weren’t live wires sparking all about, work at our site was moved down the list. With any luck power to the transmitter will be restored soon. Until then, our webstream is up and running, and may be accessed at wvew.org. While at our webiste, please consider making a donation to help us continue to provide Brattleboro with local access Community radio. Thank You.

In September 2005, Lynn was honored as that year’s outstanding older worker from Vermont as part of the Experience Works Prime Time Awards Program. Senator Patrick Leahy presented the award to Lynn in Washington, D.C.Lynn Martin’s story is told in “Quiet Rebel” through interviews with her and with family and friends. The 80 minute film is produced by Paul Bennett and Vidda Crochetta, and is being presented with the help and support of BCTV and Write Action.

This Wednesday (February 17th, 2016) starting at 7pm and continuing until 9am Thursday morning, WVEW-lp (Brattleboro’s all volunteer Community Radio station) will once again forgo its usual programming to air the annual Homelessness Marathon. It is not a fundraiser. It is the only national broadcast which addresses homelessness in our country, and is carried mostly on independent and Community Radio stations. This year the broadcast originates from the streets of Washington, D.C. The Marathon is sponsoring a petition to H.U.D. (the Department of Housing and Urban Development) for better treatment of people who are Homeless. You can sign the petition at their website:
http://news.homelessnessmarathon.org/

We hope you’ll listen in.
