Meet Our Civil Air Patrol Cadets
The Civil Air Patrol is a volunteer organization that serves as the official civilian auxiliary of the U.S. Air Force. Not only do cadets get to fly in Civil Air Patrol planes, they help communities recover from disasters, locate missing people, participate in leadership and professional development events, and meet other cadets from across the state and the country. Many cadets go on to attend a military service academy, though not all join the military. Regardless of what they go on to do, all cadets use the skills and confidence they develop during their time with the Civil Air Patrol.
No War with Iran
On Saturday, February 28, at 2:30 in the morning, President Trump posted a video to social media announcing that the United States and Israel’s right-wing extremist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu had launched a major military attack against Iran.

The Famed Harris Hill Ski Jump
Congratulations to the Brattleboro community for hosting the annual Harris Hill Ski Jump competition which brings together some of the world’s most promising junior ski jumpers. Yes. This was the 104th year of this great competition. Bright and early, thousands of Vermonters and out-of-town visitors alike packed into the parking lot to find a prime tailgating spot. Ski jumpers prepared their gear and took practice runs on the towering 90-meter Olympic-sized jump.
