The Easter Sunday closure isn't on the Town Website or the Transfer Station page but the past two Sundays there was a hand-written cardboard sign posted at the Transfer Station fence announcing the closure.
Town Manager Brandon Gulnik responded to my question about the closure "the Transfer Station will be closed on Easter Sunday. The Transfer Station workers are paid for this holiday. No other town employees are paid for this holiday. This started prior to 2020. According to Human Resources & the Highway Superintendent, this was extended to transfer station employees because they miss out on many other paid holidays."

Utilize the App
Green Up Vermont in iPhone app stores and greenupvermont on Google Play. People can build teams, watch the competitive leader board and drop pins in your town to let you know where the bags are. I am working on building a cheat sheet to explain more and will send that along once I have completed it.
Collect the Data
Even if you don’t have all the answers, try to collect as much as you can and email it in to greenup@greenupvermont.org after Green Up Day. This is super helpful when applying for grants and other funding that might get us some help with tire disposal, recycling and more educational programing into schools. Do your best, doesn’t have to be perfect or complete. Your best is much appreciated! (Data form attached)

Rep. Becca White, D-Hartford, is looking for a promotion.
The two-term state representative on Monday launched her candidacy for one of Windsor County’s three state Senate seats. Unless any of the delegation’s incumbent senators — Alison Clarkson, Dick McCormack and Alice Nitka, all Democrats — decide to retire, White’s candidacy sets up an unusual competitive primary come August.
Should she win, the 27-year-old White would become the youngest member of the Senate, and that’s a fact she’s stressing in her campaign messaging. Her slogan — “It’s time for the next generation of leadership to come from Windsor County” — was born from a conversation she had with her mother. “I was describing how it was hard to hear either comments or concern from people in my age group who were saying, ‘I just don’t have anyone in a regional position who I can go to and talk to about issues that are facing my generation,’” White said. “And my mom said, ‘Yeah, we need that next generation of leadership,’ and I basically was like, ‘There’s my bumper sticker.’”

Most members of the Senate are at least 50 years old, and many are far older than that. The three youngest currently serving are Sens. Corey Parent, R-Franklin, Joshua Terenzini, R-Rutland, and Kesha Ram Hinsdale, D-Chittenden, all of whom are in their thirties.

The Valley News reported that when Russian troops invaded Ukraine, they stirred something inside Liam Attwood that has percolated into action.
Attwood, an 18-year-old junior at Windsor High School, was adopted at age 3 out of an orphanage in the province of Kirovohrad, about 200 miles south of Kyiv, Ukraine. He’s spent the past 15 years in the Upper Valley, but he’s often wondered about his origins — his country, his culture, his biological family. He’s thought about visiting Ukraine, but the instability in the region has made that unsafe.
Then Russia annexed Crimea in 2014, and Attwood’s interest grew even more.

$3 million earmark will spur more development at Springfield innovation center
Ethan Weinstein reporting for VT Digger
With a $3 million earmark secured by U.S. Sen. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt., and almost $2 million more from the state, leaders of the Black River Innovation Campus in Springfield hope it can spur further revitalization downtown.
The money will update the 500-seat auditorium and gymnasium inside the Park Street School, a multi-use building that now houses 6,000 square feet of the campus’s workspace, plus Springfield School District administrative offices and a podcasting studio.
“It gives us a more modernized space to host people for events, as well as for our program we call ‘Actuator,’ which is our hybrid incubator accelerator program for scalable tech companies,” said Trevor Barlow, executive director of the Black River Innovation Campus, known as BRIC.

Béla Fleck and My Bluegrass Heart
Béla and his current touring band My Bluegrass Heart performed at Lebanon Opera House on Tuesday April 5.
The band sounded fantastic. And played for over two hours with no break. They gave the audience four encores.
The long wait was over and it was well worth it.
Alash Ensemble
Led by Merl’s son Tony on bass and guitarist Zach Nugent (Jerry Garcia Band, Dead Set). The all-star band is rounded out by keyboard player Scott Guberman (Phil Lesh), Sunshine Garcia Becker (Furthur, Jerry Garcia Band), and Cotter Ellis (Swimmer, Dead Set).
They played two 90 minute sets with a brief intermission.

Lebanon Opera House
Lebanon NH April 6, 2022
The Alash Ensemble performed a FREE show at Lebanon Opera House on Wednesday, April 6.
From their website:
ALASH are masters of Tuvan throat singing (xöömei), a remarkable technique for singing multiple pitches at the same time. What distinguishes this gifted trio from earlier generations of Tuvan throat singers is the subtle infusion of modern influences into their traditional music.
One can find complex harmonies, western instruments, and contemporary song forms in Alash’s music, but its overall sound and spirit remain decidedly Tuvan.
Trained in traditional Tuvan music since childhood, the Alash musicians studied at Kyzyl Arts College just as Tuva was beginning to open up to the West.
They formed a traditional ensemble and won multiple awards for traditional throat singing in international xöömei competitions, both as an ensemble and as individuals. At the same time, they paid close attention to new trends coming out of the West. They have borrowed new ideas that mesh well with the sound and feel of traditional Tuvan music, but they have never sacrificed the integrity of their own heritage in an effort to make their music more hip.
The evening included an introduction by Theodore Levin, Professor of Music at Dartmouth College.
Tuva sits at the southern edge of Siberia, with Mongolia to its south. Over the centuries, Tuva has been part of Chinese and Mongolian empires, and shares many cultural ties with Mongolia.

The Weathersfield School Alliance is a student run club with the mission to promote inclusion in our school and make our school community a place where everyone, regardless of his/her/their background, feel welcome. The club is overseen by staff advisors and is only open to 6-8th graders. So far, the club has met 5-6 times this year to discuss and develop this club mission and discuss fundraising opportunities for the club. The goal of raising funds is so the club might be able to sponsor guest speakers to come to the school and/or other special events for club members and the school community.The Dungeons & Dragons Club is for students interested in playing tabletop role-playing games. We like the creative experience of collaboratively telling stories, building worlds, having moral and philosophical discussions, teaching new people to play RPGs, and of course, having a bunch of fun together. Come join us for D&D or one of the other games we try out from time to time! All are welcome in this club, and there is always room for another character in the game. Next year we plan on having more clubs as students present some of their interests and share what types of clubs they would like to have at school.

"Lace Up for Laura" 5K race Saturday, June 25 8:30 a.m.
It is intended to be a fun activity families can participate in together with runners and walkers of all ability.
The event will consist of two races held on Saturday, June 25, 2022: an approximately 1/3 mile kids 12 and under fun run starting at 8:30 A.M. followed by a 3.1 mile (5km) race starting at 9:00 A.M for all ages and abilities.
The kids race is at 8:30. The first 50 kids will receive custom wooden medallions, the adult winners and runners up in each age category will have custom medals again as well.
The starts for both races will be located near the intersection of Plains road and Reservoir road.
The 3.1 mile race will be an out and back race on the scenic dirt road known for its lack of change in elevation.
Proceeds from the Memorial run will benefit the Laura Cody McNaughton Memorial fund and its annual scholarship which will be awarded to a graduating senior who exemplifies Laura’s leadership and giving spirit, and, is pursuing further education and training in a field where these principles may be put into practice.
