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.

Within the past year or so, the tribe has purchased a new Tribal Center at 350 Putney Rd., and has received grant money to research regional Native petroglyphs, especially those in Bellows Falls. At the same time, the four Vermont Abenaki bands - collectively known as the Western Abenaki tribes - have also had to face a challenge...

Memory, music, and the cochlear implant

As I start my car in the morning to drive to work, I hear in my head the opening measures of the Prelude of the Bach D minor cello suite. Pushing the waiting CD into its slot, I hear those measures in the same key that played in my mind. After some 12 measures, however, I lose the melody; I hear dynamics, I hear vibrato and the sound of the bow sliding over the strings, I sense some rise and...
