I applaud and commend my fellow Vermonters for the courage and foresight in this step toward a health-care system that is no longer for-profit and no longer carries costs that are arbitrary and capricious.

Now that the legislative session has come to a close, and for the moment our Windham Southeast Supervisory Union district has not been able to move to the quick track for implementation of Act 46, my unspoken deep reservations about this act need to be expressed. At Town Meeting, I was impressed by the sincere hard work of the Putney School Board under Alice Laughlin's leadership to understand the act and find a good response for the town. Board members...
New-grass and local contemporary folk trio, The Stockwell Brothers, perform at the next session of the Summer Sunday Socials Series at the Rockingham Meeting House, Sunday, Sept. 8, at 2 p.m. Vermont Festivals producer Ray Massucco said in the event announcement that putting the three in the Rockingham Meeting House was nothing less than a stroke of genius.
