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 was hard to do. I had to try several times. But I met the goal, despite setbacks. I finally wrote two letters, with more to come. I wrote to our president on stylish pink stationery, and I wrote directly to Leonard Peltier. Using the guidance of Amnesty International's Write for Rights campaign, I wrote in advance of the Dec. 17 write-in that I'm hosting at my house, and to which you are invited. We've got to inundate the White...
