BRATTLEBORO — All dog owners and other interested parties are invited to join D.O.G. (Dog Owners Group).

We meet once a month to discuss issues relating to dogs, and other animals, in a manner that benefits everyone and all dogs.

This is a non-judgmental group. We want to communicate, learn, and identify those problems that need to be worked on with the town authorities and owners.

If you are concerned about the safety and well-being of your best friend, and yourself or your children, please call me at 802-579-2365, or email me at [email protected].

Mediation, not demands, would be appropriate

Wednesday, November 2, 2011 — Issue 125

If the town of Brattleboro had paid for its town common, it would have recorded the deed. If it wants to claim ownership under “adverse possession,” it must first prevail in court to obtain the deed. The issue of First Amendment rights only comes into play where the town is attempting to curtail protected speech on public land.
