SUMMARY:Exploring Racial Sobriety\, Climate Change\, and Our Better Angels through Interplay
DESCRIPTION:Exploring Racial Sobriety\, Climate Change\, and Our Better Angels through InterPlay \nFour Wednesdays in October: Oct 9\, 16\, 30—7:00-9:00 PM \nIt’s too easy to burn out when dealing with life and death issues. Using the creative parts of ourselves along with the rational\, thinking parts has helped many of us to experience the opposite of burnout — body wisdom\, joy\, hope and new energy that come with playing with each other and the issues. \nRacial Healing: is a hunger that started in childhoodand is about to explode because we as a nation are FINALLY beginning to look at ourselves.\nClimate Change: World on a Hot Tin Roof….\nBetter Angels: Telling our stories can help us find our sweeter selves \nWe will play with all these themes for 4 weeks of Wednesdays. Please join us if you have little or tons of experience with moving\, talking\, babbling\, toning — Our bodies have more wisdom that we may realize. \nJudith Reichsman has been an InterPlay leader for 25 years. She has Masters degrees in Dance and Theology. \nFour Wednesdays in October: Oct 9\, 16\, 30—7:00-9:00 PM\n118 Elliot St\, Brattleboro\, VT

SUMMARY:Touché! A Tournament of Words
DESCRIPTION:A night of mischief\, joymaking\, and word games to celebrate the launch of Mount Island\, the new magazine for rural LGBTQ+ and POC writers and artists!\n\nDoors open at 6:30 PM for mingling and a variety of word games until 7:00 PM\, when the main event begins: Touché! A Tournament of Words.\n\nTouché is a tournament-style game show pitting emerging writers and intrepid laypeople against unique takes on word games and writing exercises.\n\nContestants compete in five kooky and thought-provoking rounds for the love and mercy of the judges panel and a tyrannical audience.\nTickets are $5 online to guarantee seating\, or $5-10 suggested donation at the door. No one will be turned away for lack of funds.\n \nClick here to purchase tickets. \n\n\nBrattleboro’s newest small publisher\, Mount Island\, is throwing a launch party on Saturday\, October 19\, and it will be no ordinary literary soirée\, but instead “Touché!” a tournament-style game show.  The evening will be filled with several rounds of fun and friendly literary battle.  The doors open at 7 p.m.\, with a $5-$10 suggested donation at the door. No one will be turned away for lack of funds! Touché is a Brattleboro Literary Fest affiliated event. \n\n\n\nThis new literary magazine challenges popular (mis)perceptions of rural communities by supporting the visibility and creative aspirations of rural LGBTQ+ and POC writers and artists.  A recent report from the National Black Justice Coalition\, the Movement Advancement Project\, the Equality Federation\, and the National Center for Lesbian Rights confirms the national need for that visibility and inclusion\, stating that\, “..an estimated 2.9-3.8 million LGBTQ/SGL people live in rural America\, accounting for roughly 15-20 percent of the national LGBTQ/SGL population.”  Many of these individuals are queer folks of color while one fifth of all rural Americans\, that is approximately 10.3 million individuals\, are people of color.  In a landscape that is often filled with assumptions about what rural life is life and who dwells within the landscape\, Mount Island is setting out to break down the walls of perception locally and nationally. \n\n\n\nThe evening will include judges Francis Cannon\, GennaRose Nethercott\, and Donald Mutebi who will be joined by four contestants who will engage in a playful battle of words until the last round. Desmond Peeples\, creator and editor of Mount Island adds\, “I wanted to celebrate our contributors and invite the community into our work through play\, in a way that could welcome folks who might not otherwise go to a ‘literary’ event. So we created this Frankenstein’s monster of a game show\, stitching classic word games and writing exercises together and lacing the rounds through with poetry and prose from our new issue.” \n\n\n\nAdditionally\, individuals will be able to purchase limited edition poetry broadsides and donate to Mount Island’s fundraising efforts.  The first digital issue of Mount Island will be available October 31. Excerpts from the upcoming issue\, including an excerpt of the poem to be published as broadsides\, “Selections from Inferior Normal” by Tyler Orion\, can be read for free at mountisland.com.  \n\n\n\nJoin Mount Island on Satuday October 19\, 7-9PM at 118 Elliot to celebrate the new magazine and play “Touché! A Tournament of Words.” \n\n\n\nMount Island is a literary magazine and small press dedicated to creating space for rural LGBTQ+ and POC voices to be heard on their own terms and find solidarity in community. Mount Island is a magazine by us\, of us\, and for anybody who wants to see rural America for all it really is. Learn more at mountisland.com.

SUMMARY:BCTV Volunteer Appreciation Dinner & Producer Awards Party
DESCRIPTION:BCTV’s annual producer awards ceremony will be held on Thursday\, October 24th at 6:00 p.m. at 118 Elliot. The public is invited. The People’s Choice Award winner\, which is a popular vote among the year’s top-viewed videos\, will also be announced that night. \nThe following organizations and individuals will be recognized for their achievements during the past fiscal year: \nCommunity Partner Award – WTSA Radio \nStarting in January 2019\, WTSA Radio\, one of the few remaining locally owned media outlets\, began uploading ‘Morning News with Ian Kelley’ to YouTube\, which is then rebroadcast by BCTV on channel 8 at Noon and 6 PM weekdays. Ian is joined on the show by fellow news anchor Tim Johnson\, along with a variety of guests including athletes and artists. WTSA’s partnership with BCTV benefits both organizations and especially the local community. \n Find WTSA News episodes here \nNonprofit Member Award – Brattleboro Area Prevention Coalition\, Greater Falls Connections\, Turning Point of Windham County\, West River Valley Thrives. \nThis award typically recognizes the work of a single nonprofit member\, but this year we salute a cluster of nonprofits working together on the issue of Substance Use. These organizations used BCTV to achieve their missions by producing videos or recording events that reflect the community’s interest in addiction prevention and response. We celebrate the particular efforts of the following producers: \n\n\nBrattleboro Area Prevention Coalition & Greater Falls Connections – Rolf Parker\, Scott Sharland\, Reggie Martell\, Chad Simmons\, Molly Nash \n\n\nTurning Point of Windham County – Don Cuerdon\, Cecil McLaury \n\n\nWest River Valley Thrives – Nick Plante\, Reggie Martell \n\n\nBCTV community producer – Maria Dominguez \n\n\nFind videos here: https://www.brattleborotv.org/substance-use \nhttps://www.brattleborotv.org/turning-point-windham-county \nhttps://www.brattleborotv.org/brattleboro-area-prevention-coalition-presents \nMunicipal Partner Award – Kathy Hege & Rick Hege\, Town of Townshend \nKathy and Rick Hege have supported BCTV’s coverage of public meetings in Townshend for many years – Kathy\, as a long time Selectboard chair\, and Rick\, as the webmaster of unofficialtownshendvt.net. Their high level of cooperation and assistance helps BCTV staff record municipal meetings for those that can’t attend\, which promotes transparency in town government. It is gratifying for BCTV to be valued by municipal leaders who dedicate their time and energy to public service. \nNew Producer of the Year: Dan Long \nDan learned how to produce a show that incorporates screen-capturing and multi-camera editing for ‘Gematria Today’\, in which Dan explains the ancient Caballistic practice of Gematria\, coding numbers into letters to find hidden meaning in words. Dan’s series is a good example of an instructional multimedia video. \nhttps://www.brattleborotv.org/gematria-today \nProducer of the Year: Alex Evans \nAlex Evans interned with BCTV in 2017 as credit for his Landmark College ‘Civic Engagement’ class. For his internship\, Alex\, who was the station manager for Landmark’s student radio station\, chose to create a mini-documentary about BCTV. Alex came back last fall with a College-sanctioned internship of 90 hours. While he helped with editing and directing\, he also produced his weekly radio show\, ‘Talking Nerdy\,’ for TV and YouTube\, and it was a huge hit. Alex has since graduated and now lives in Portland\, Maine\, but not before he made his mark on BCTV and our viewers! \nMini-documentary: https://www.brattleborotv.org/bctv-highlights/all-about-bctv-2017-mini-doc \nSample episode: https://www.brattleborotv.org/talking-nerdy/ep-10-nerd-flies \nSeries of the Year: Meg Mott’s ‘Debating Our Rights’ & ‘Good Clash: The Art of Productive Disagreement’ \n‘Debating Our Rights’ and ‘Good Clash: The Art of Productive Disagreement’ are two popular discussion series presented by (retired) Marlboro College professor Meg Mott\, produced by Janis Chaillou and Em Richards of For The Record Video. Meg Mott leads discussions with active participation by audience members to identify shared values and encourage healthy debate.  Janis Chaillou and Em Richards worked with Mott to record both series in light of the high level of interest in her discussions. \nhttps://www.brattleborotv.org/debating-our-rights \nhttps://www.brattleborotv.org/good-clash-art-productive-disagreement \nSponsor of the Year: Karen Ameden of D&K’s Jamaica Grocery \nAs a sponsor of BCTV’s Town Meeting coverage for years\, Karen Ameden\, owner of D&K’s Jamaica Grocery\, has been one of the few small businesses to support BCTV. When BCTV approached the select boards in our service territory for financial support in light of a decline in federal funding for public access television\, Jamaica required 35 signatures in order for residents to vote on the issue at Town Meeting Day. Karen volunteered to make the petition available at her store so that local residents could sign – and they did. When we send a producer up Route 30 to cover meetings\, this kind of local support is our reward! \nBCTV’s 50+ local producers were nationally recognized in 2019 and together with staff produced more than 1300 hours of local programming over the past year. \nThe BCTV awards ceremony is fashioned after the Emmys\, but a Halloween themed dress is suggested this year due to the timing of the event. Audience members will enjoy dinner by The Marina\, and the chance to mingle with creative types and community volunteers. A $5 donation is suggested. \nBrattleboro Community Television is a community media center serving Brattleboro\, Dummerston\, Guilford\, Jamaica\, Newfane\, Putney\, Townshend\, and Vernon. BCTV’s mission is to promote civic engagement and transparency and to empower community members to share their knowledge\, views\, and creativity\, without prejudice.  To learn more about BCTV\, visit brattleborotv.org or call 802-257-0888.

SUMMARY:NEC Annual Meeting & ACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN: The Women of Three Mile Island
DESCRIPTION:48th ANNUAL MEETING \nBring a friend! The public is encouraged to attend. \n  SATURDAY\, OCTOBER 26 @ 1:30 pm\n1:30 Refreshments − 2:00 Members Meeting − 3:00 Break − 3:15 Dr. Hutner − 4:15 Wrap-up \n \nDr. Heidi Hutner\nStony Brook University \nACCIDENTS CAN HAPPEN: The Women of Three Mile Island \nWe are honored to be joined by Stony Brook University professor\, Heidi Hutner\, filmmaker\, writer\, producer. Former Chair of Sustainability Studies and former Associate Dean in the School of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences at SBU\, Hutner is a scholar of gender and nuclear history. She films\, writes\, and teaches about ecofeminism\, race\, nuclearity\, and the environment. \nAt this October 26th event\, Heidi Hutner will screen a short from her documentary feature\, Accidents Can Happen: The Women of Three Mile Island. The documentary tells the story of the women from Three Mile Island. This is the tale of four mothers– Linda\, Joyce\, Beth and Paula—ordinary American housewives who lived five miles from the nuclear power plant at the time of the meltdown. The accident turned their lives upside down and awakened them to the politics of the nuclear industry and the silencing of truth. The mothers fought back and organized\, forming\, “Concerned Mothers and Women\,” an antinuclear advocacy group. \nA woman-led movement was galvanized on a larger scale as well by Three Mile Island meltdown\, as the documentary will show\, including the likes of Dr. Helen Caldicott\, Jane Fonda\, Bonnie Raitt\, Winona LaDuke\, and German Greens co-founder\, Petra Kelly\, and Aileen Mioko Smith (Japan)\, among many others. \nThree Mile Island story is also located within a larger framework\, as nuclear weapons and power are rooted in systemic patriarchy. \nThroughout nuclear history\, women’s voices have been silenced. Women have been excluded from participation in nuclear policy-making; women and girls are most harmed by radiation exposures; socio-economically\, women and children suffer most in nuclear disasters; and women who speak up and seek the truth are called “hysterical” or “radiophobic.” \nDespite it all–women play a vital role in peace and antinuclear advocacy\, as Accidents Can Happen shows. These heroic female stories must be told. \nFILM INFO:        https://www.accidentscanhappenthefilm.com/      Womenofthreemileisland@gmail.com \nMEETING INFO: www.NewEnglandCoalition.org   necnp@necnp.org 802-380-4462
