Some Residents Oppose a Plan to Build a New Power Plant in Hopkinton

By David Darman on Friday, February 29, 2008.

The owners of the BioEnergy Wood burning plant in Hopkinton want to tear it down, and build a new one.

They propose burning pure wood chips, rather than the construction and demolition debris they once planned to burn.

Despite this change, the same group that fought the incineration of C & D is actively opposing the new scheme.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s David Darman has more.

Comic Relief

By Virginia Prescott on Friday, February 29, 2008.

Funny women are revitalizing TV sitcoms. Shows like 30 Rock, The Sarah Silverman Program, and The New Adventures of Old Christine all star women who got their start in comedy - showing that women are not being relegated to the role of best friend or wacky neighbor. Word of Mouth host Virginia Prescott spoke with Bambi Haggins, who teaches television history and popular culture at the University of Michigan, about the migration from comedy and improv stages to television. She wrote about the topic for Ms. Magazine. We also look at how the role of women in the workplace has changed since the 1970s by comparing "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and "30 Rock."

With help from many people we assembled a sampling of some of the items on the warrant this March. We hope you find this list helpful and we hope you will use this page to post a comment on specific items. Three big points:

  • If you post a comment, keep your subject to just one warrant article. You can post as many separate comments as you like; our goal is to keep the online discussion organized in the same way that a town meeting goes through warrant articles one at a time.
  • You can comment on any warrant article whether it is on this short list or not. The goal of this list is just to get the conversation started but you are free to draw attention to any item that you think is important.
  • If you post a comment, please give your full name at the bottom, just as you'd have to state your name at town meeting.
