10-12 Governor's Institute Winter Weekend at Goddard College. This
year's 'strands' are Current Issues, Engineering (biomass stoves

GMC to make Theater in Ames basement
POULTNEY-Green Mountain College seniors Blake Kyler and Frank Segro
have proposed renovating the large basement in Ames into a working
"black box" theatre, a new use of old space. They hope the new
theatre may also provide rehearsal space for the performance arts
plus house lectures, concerts, and any other type of show that
benefits from an intimate setting. The basement had housed theatre
performances before, during the 1940s and 1950s, but has been
inactive since.
Recreation land sought
PAWLET-Newly formed non-profit community organization Friends of
Haystack is working to buy the 65.5 acres of privately held land
that tops Haystack and thereby secure its use for public recreation
in the future. In the future, the group hopes to promote outdoor
activities there, including hiking and birding, and conservation
support.
FHUHS receives accolades
FAIR HAVEN- The Slaters wound up 2011 with multiple honors and
awards. They had a top Scholar's Bowl team, DII state championship
football team, NCAA DI athletic scholarship, and the students with
