Our Editor is on a very brief, and much deserved leave. I just wanted to take this opportunity to remind everyone how valuable their support is to the NWCRG. We are about to begin the Act 250 hearings at the American Legion Hall in St. Albans, from June 26 through June 30; every day from 9:00 AM until 3:00 PM. Jon Groveman will be representing us, through the kind support of the VNRC. It is vitally important that as many of our members and friends as possible, put in an appearance (in the audience)at these hearings, in order to demonstrate how important this matter is to all of us. I have recently been wearing one of the VNRC’s anti-sprawl t-shirts around town. It’s the one with the Jeff Danzinger cartoon of the predatory big-box. A number of people have spontaneously come up to me to declare their support for the NWCRG. It is very gratifying, of course, but we sure could use your help as well as your encouragement. We have a pretty daunting mission ahead of us; and while we have many, many folks who encourage us from the sidelines, we need a few more in the trenches. S
