What’s the deal with the marijuana plant limits?

By

Wednesday, March 14, 2018 — Issue 450

BRATTLEBORO — I started writing a letter to add a horticultural voice of reason to the discussion about amending marijuana plant number limits. But when I looked up the issue on the Legislature's website, I found that S.216 is an Act Related to Prescription Drugs, which was signed into law some time ago.

I would like to understand what's really going on. Is there anything happening that might affect medical marijuana plant limits?

Will you help clarify this issue, so readers can understand if they should call or write about this and, if so, which bill and legislative committee to address?

Wednesday, December 11, 2019 — Issue 540

If you are overwhelmed by the crass commercialism that has overtaken the holiday season, a trip to see Shirley Squires' 1,500 nativity sets in her home might be just what you need. She has been collecting nativity sets since 1993 and, as the collection grew, in 1997 she decided to share it with anyone with an interest in visiting. As the years have passed, Squires, 90, has given up most of her living spaces to the Christmas displays. The only...

Green Up Day, the Month of the Young Child, and hope for the future

By

Tuesday, April 25, 2023 — Issue 712

Someone recently described Brattleboro as a paradox, and I think it's safe to say this is true for all of Vermont and, possibly, the entire planet. In these times of devastating loss and challenges, we all need to find those things that help keep us connected and grounded to hope. One way I do this is by coordinating and promoting Green Up Day locally. As many of you know, Green Up Day is a 53-year-old tradition that brings people together...

Wednesday, September 9, 2020 — Issue 578

Over the past five years, the Brattleboro Museum & Art Center (BMAC) has regularly presented artwork that serves as a platform for the exploration of social issues, including LGBTQ equality, addiction and recovery, and attitudes toward firearms. This fall, in conjunction with two exhibits focused on homelessness, BMAC will present a series of events exploring that issue from national and local perspectives. Initially planned to take place in person and subsequently postponed due to the coronavirus pandemic, these three free...
