Calling the Courageously Conspicuous!

In light of the sighting of another swastika, this time in the Dummerston quarry, days after the racist and anti-Semitic graffiti on the Dummerston bridge abutment, we are asking community leaders to deliver the following message throughout Windham County this week and next:

“We strive to be a community free of prejudice and unlawful discrimination. Everyone regardless of race, religion, ethnicity, skin tone, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, martial status, physical or mental abilities, or economic standing deserves to live or visit here without the fear of bullying, harassment, bigotry or violence.”

Pet Supply for Putney

I would like to enlist the residents of Putney to voice their opinion.
I would like to open a pet supply and feed store in Putney and I need to know if the public thinks this would be valuable in this town. If people could email me and let me know either way and why you think so- just a small blurb would be fine. If you think it would be good and have pets let me know what kind and what you use product-wise and food-wise.
I plan on offering not only supplies but my valuable knowledge as a vet tech. plus nail clipping and lots more. Thanks,

Savor the Moment

June 7, 2008 NY Times Op-Ed Columnist
Savor the Moment
By BOB HERBERT

Friday was the 40th anniversary of the death of Robert F. Kennedy. Had he lived, he would be 82 now.

It’s impossible to gauge the what-ifs of history. But nevertheless, I wonder what Kennedy, a complicated man with a profound sense of the moral issues at play in politics, would have made of the idea that Barack Obama has captured the Democratic Party’s nomination for president.

Where's the Oil, Why's the Wars

Steve Darrow, of Putney, wrote following article:

While some areas of the world have little or no oil, and some have modest amounts, one area has vast deposits.

When Dick Cheney was the CEO of Halliburton he said: “The Middle East with two thirds of the world’s oil and the lowest cost is where the prize ultimately lies”. This area around the Persian Gulf also has 40% of the natural gas reserves in the world.

Students Take Action on GMOs

The Windham County Genetic Engineering Action Group (GEAG) and students and staff at Westminster’s Compass School are working together on a new GMO-Free Schools campaign. The campaign is designed to help students learn about genetically modified food, and assist them in working for a school food policy to get healthier, non-genetically-modified foods into their cafeterias. Providing healthy food is not solely the responsibility of a child’s parents, according to Beth White, Compass School science teacher. “It is essential that schools adopt this responsibility.”
