Main Street Arts String Band welcomes musicians

Wednesday, October 11, 2017 — Issue 429

SAXTONS RIVER — The musicians of the Main Street Arts String Band are looking for a few good - or just enthusiastic - musicians to join their weekly sessions.

The group meets each Wednesday, from 5 to 6:15 p.m., to play traditional square dance and fiddle tunes from around the world under the leadership of fiddler Jill Newton.

“We have a good time together in a friendly, informal way,” Newton said in a news release. “We welcome any level of musicianship and any instrument. We've had a keyboardist, and we'd love to have an accordion.”

The fee for the 12-week session is $96 for MSA members and $120 for nonmembers. The drop-in rate is $10 and $12. Newton encourages anyone who would like to show up with an instrument - stringed or otherwise - to drop in to check out the group.

Tuesday, November 22, 2022 — Issue 691

In every Vermont town, a majority of voters on Nov. 8 supported Proposal 5, the measure that wrote reproductive liberties into the Vermont Constitution. Results from the Vermont Secretary of State's Office show the campaign for Proposal 5, also known as Article 22, succeeded in building a sweeping coalition of support, far beyond liberal Chittenden County and the state's more-populous, deep-blue downtowns. Overall, the measure prevailed by a vote of 77% to 23%. And virtually every corner of the state...

We need to be caring for one another via public policy

Vermont has elected socialist Bernie Sanders statewide 11 times, and twice voted for him in the Democratic presidential primary. But there's not too much socialism here. Like the other 49 states, Vermont has socialism for the rich and rugged individualism for the poor. The opioid epidemic ravages our communities, but the leading opioid dealers in the country donate to our politicians - including thousands from Purdue Pharma to Gov. Phil Scott - without a peep. The state Legislature has proved...

In Leland & Gray theater, a room of collaborators

Wednesday, November 8, 2023 — Issue 739

When the Leland and Gray (L&G) Players, the theater program at Leland & Gray Union Middle/High School, was left without direction at the end of the summer, the administration hustled: "It was very funny, actually," recalls Doran "Dory" Hamm, 38, the newly appointed Players' director. "The previous theater director left relatively quickly, so they put out a call." The three "main people who applied were us three," Hamm said, referencing himself and the other two people in a Zoom interview...
