“If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with banknotes, bury them at suitable depths in disused coalmines which are then filled up to the surface with town rubbish, and leave it to private enterprise on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again… there need be no more unemployment and, with the help of the repercussions, the real income of the community, and its capital wealth also, would probably become a good deal greater than it actually is.”
(John Maynard Keynes, “The General Theory of Employment, Interest and Money”, p. 129)
How is that different from Bernanke’s “helicopter drop” theory?
Have you ever wanted to travel back in time?
That’s what we’ll be doing in this week long journey through the course of music history. We will combine music and other artistic expressions to recreate a variety of musical periods starting all the way back in prehistoric times! We’ll make instruments and act like composers. We’ll listen to the differences in styles from one period to the next, and draw pictures of what we hear. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of how music has been shaped over time in a playful and engaging environment. Each child’s creativity will be our time machine, which might even take us into the future! Tuition $150 / Financial Aid Available.

Dearest Abiah,
Here yet. Had expected to have been examined today, but shall not probably be before Monday. It may be
put off until a later day. I will let you know Monday night. I have seen Charles Wilder from the 10th Regt. Co. K. He was wounded on Friday last. He says Zopher was then well. This is the last news that Jacob or I have heard. Wilder’s arm is pretty well ploughed up. It struck near the elbow, and went up to the shoulder, but it is a flesh wound. He is going to Philadelphia in the morning, came in yesterday. He is in Columbia, but Jacob would not have seen him if I had not found him. Lucien Piper is killed, so Wilder says. Some of our Brattleboro boys are back here in Hospitals. But one of our old Company B has been killed and one wounded, though they have been fighting all the time. The one wounded was shot through the calf of the leg. The other Company have had several men wounded, but none dangerously.

MIDDLESEX – June 9, 2014 — Surrounded by supporters at the locally owned Red Hen Bakery, Gov. Peter Shumlin today signed into law legislation phasing in an increase in the state’s minimum wage from the current $8.73 per hour to $10.50 per hour by 2018.
Gov. Shumlin and other New England Governors appeared with President Obama earlier this year in Connecticut to call for a national increase in the federal minimum wage from $7.25 to $10.10. However, noting Congressional inaction on that proposal, Gov. Shumlin said, “States like Vermont realize that working people can’t support their families on the current minimum wage, and we’re moving ahead to do the right thing on our own.”

Time again for one of our round-ups of observations of changes in the Brattleboro scene. Here are a few things I’ve noticed over the last few days, weeks, and months. What can you add?
Washington, June 7, 1864.
Dear Brother,
Mr. Baxter has just handed me a dispatch from you informing me that mother is dangerously ill. How I hope that she may recover, for I have fondly hoped that I might see you all again. I have received a letter from her and father since I have been here. It does not seem possible that I shall never see here again. I write this without waiting to get your letter, for you to assure her of that which I know she will be pleased to hear, that I am resolved to live nearer God than I have done. I cannot begin as some can, with a sudden breaking light. I have always been convinced of the true Christianity, but my vision has always been obscured and the faults of Christians have always been in my way, but I have resolved to throw all such things behind my back and not let those come between me and my duties. I regret now much that I have never prayed with my family. That is a thing I never mean to neglect, if I ever live to get home, however dark my own light may be.
Washington, June 7, 1864.
Dearest Abiah,
Still in Washington. Shall not probably get away this week. Have no news to write. The battle still rages around Richmond, for it is an almost continued battle. There were many wounded brought in yesterday and this morning. I saw long trains of ambulances going to the wharf for wounded, but no returns are published yet, only the names of some of the officers. Lieut. Col. Henry of the 10th is wounded. I expect there will probably be a list of the wounded in the morning papers. If I see any names that I know I will send a paper. The hospitals here are getting pretty well cleaned out, some die, some go home on furloughs, some are going back to their Regiments. There are many hard cases yet in the hospitals. Mr. Loring’s son died yesterday. The diarrhoea set in, and he was so low that he sunk under it. I have not seen Mr. Loring since I wrote you last. Capt. Lillie died last night, and Capt. Hurlburt will hardly live through the day. The weather is still very favorable to the wounded. There is now a mail established to the White House. A boat leaves here every morning. It takes about 24 hours to go from here to the White House, and three boats are put on.
GUILFORD, Vt. — Friends of Music at Guilford, now in its 48th season, presents an “A Cappella à la Carte” evening on Saturday, June 14, as the finale to its annual calendar. As usual, the evening’s three-part menu of membership meeting, all-community potluck, and a cappella concert takes place at Guilford Community Church, just a short distance from Exit 1 off Interstate 91.
The festivities begin at 6 pm with a brief and merry Friends of Music membership meeting. Folks can sign up on the spot and participate in voting for the upcoming year’s board of trustees, as well as symbolically ratify the current board’s actions in the fiscal year just ending. Preliminary plans for the 49th annual season of concerts are shared with everyone present.

Dear wife,
I did not finish my letter yesterday, so will write a little more today. You ask me about the length of time I must serve. I feel a little delicacy about talking to anyone about what I have not got, but it is this way, it is for life or during good behavior, but there is no doubt but I can get out of it at any time I can give a good excuse for resigning it is the same as in the volunteer service. The government is not obliged to receive a resignation, but they do it. I should not feel like resigning during my term of service if the war lasts. If it does not last, I shall, but I must get my commission first. I think then I shall have you with me if it is a possible thing. It will depend upon where I may be, if in a fort then you can be with me, if in the field, I shall not try it.
The PCL+FIGG Team will conduct the next on-site “trail talk” for the Public on Saturday, June 14, 2014. These trail talks will discuss the status of the I-91 Brattleboro Bridge Project and allow the public to ask questions. The talks will originate at the West River Trail near the marina. The trail talk will be led by Caleb Linn, Project Manager for PCL (lead contractor), and Garrett Hoffman, Design Manager for FIGG (bridge designer).
Interested participants should meet the PCL+FIGG Team at the West River Trail trailhead on Saturday, June 14, 2014, at 8 a.m. and the talk will begin at 8:15 a.m. Participants will walk the trail to the I-91 bridge site, so please wear appropriate clothing and footwear.
Have we featured the Rolling Stones for a weekend concert series before? If not, shame on us. They are a band to study and emulate if one wants to perform on the big stage one day.
I can’t say much that hasn’t already been said about them, but can say that this show comes from one of my favorite periods of their career. I really like the Rolling Stones music of the Sticky Fingers – Exile on Main Street era. Bluesy, rough, under the influence, rocking, bad-boy, stadium-packing music that stands the test of (rock) time.
I got to see them for the Tattoo You tour (“the last time they may tour!”) in 1981. Not a great album, but a good enough excuse to go see them.
The next monthly meeting of the West Brattleboro Association (WBA) will be held at the New England House
on Thursday, June 12th at 6:00 PM. Vermont State Representative Mollie Burke will address issues pertaining to transportation as it relates to West Brattleboro at this gathering. A member of the Vermont legislature since 2008, Mollie currently serves on the Transportation Committee and successfully procured funds for the repaving of Route 9 slated now to be done ahead of the original schedule due to its bad condition. In addition, Burke will discuss pedestrian and bicyclist safety.
