BRATTLEBORO — If you were in Walpole, N.H., on Saturday, Sept. 21, you might have seen what you thought was a small meteor shower happening over the Hooper Golf Course.

In actuality, you saw glowing golf balls shooting across the course in support of the Windham County Safe Place. Our first-ever Night Golf Tournament was a blast, and if you missed out, we hope to see you next year!

We thank the sponsors and supporters of the event and extend congratulations to the team from Brattleboro Ford Subaru, who won the tournament. We expect they will be back next year to defend their title!

Windham County Safe Place is dedicated to supporting victims of child abuse and sexual assault in our community. If you'd like to learn more about the work we do, you can contact our office at 802-579-1358 or visit us at www.safeplacecac.net.

It took more than a year to pull off, but it looks like the proposed sale of the defunct Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant to a New York-based decommissioning company is moving closer to taking place. On March 2, a memorandum of understanding was filed with the Vermont Public Utilities Commission. It calls for Entergy, the current owner of Vermont Yankee, and NorthStar, the company that wants to buy the Vernon site and decommission it, to set aside additional money...

Sick of the empty broadband promises

Wednesday, November 6, 2013 — Issue 228

Many of us chose to live in Vermont because we liked the old-fashioned lifestyle: local milk from dairy farms, heating with wood, gravity-flow spring water, sugaring with horses, visiting friends, and cooking for bake sales and potluck dinners instead of watching TV all evening.

Sugaring is done with plastic tubing and pumps. And everyone...

Sarasa Ensemble explores the viola at BMC

Wednesday, January 15, 2020 — Issue 544

In Sarasa's next program as season guest artists of the Brattleboro Music Center on Friday, Jan. 17, at 7.30 p.m., the Cambridge-based group focuses on the warmth of the middle voice: the viola. The instrument's tenor range binds the top voice with the bottom, a sort of sandwich filling that brings out the best flavor in an ensemble.
