Does anyone know if there are summer jobs around here for 14- year olds? I know years ago they could work tobacco (and buses even came by some places to pick them up), but that was a while ago. Wondering what the current situation is. Thanks in advance for any information.
 

The Young Shakespeare Players' "Play On" performance from 2020 is now available on the MCTV Vimeo page. This youth theater group typically performs at The Shea Theater, however last fall, they teamed up with MCTV to create a film composed of scenes from many different Shakespeare plays. The actors learned to storyboard, score, light and shoot a film, and must be applauded for this thoroughly entertaining and impressive piece!

There is a lot of new music up on the MCTV Vimeo page this week. "Northern Roots" is a Traditional Music Festival out of Brattleboro VT, featuring a variety of northern musical traditions including Irish, Scottish, English, French Canadian and Shetland. Also up on MCTV is the new video album, "Still Romantics" by Brattleboro musician, Chris Weisman. Weisman collaborated with MCTV as well as with local musician Omeed Goodarzi and audio engineer Elie Mcaffee-Hahn to record a performance that was cancelled due to Covid. The performance was recorded in front of a green screen, allowing each song to become a music video created in a different style. The town meeting recording are available for viewing, including the Gill, Montague Regional School District, The Montague Finance Committee and a joint meeting with the Montague Selectboard and Board of Health.

These lovely kids have been ringing my bell and running for quite some time now. Unfortunately I’m the victim of a vicious rape and having someone ring my bell sends shockwaves of terror through me and nightmares for days. They live somewhere down by FL Roberts. Thank you.

This Week, MCTV is featuring the work of Bret Leighton, former longtime editor and producer at MCTV, who has regretfully passed suddenly. We want to honor him for his years of dedication to the TV station and our community. Three episodes of "The Madison Show", which was produced by Leighton in 2015, are linked to the MCTV Facebook page. The show is hosted by local art legend, Rodney Madison, who tours the camera around the village of Turners Falls, as he visits friends on the street and in his shop, "Madison on the Ave". The Ave looks different these days. Now, "Texture Hair Salon" occupies 100 Avenue A, where next door a new MCTV original is being filmed. Now on it's 5th Episode, "Fabric'sCool", the instructional and anecdotal series by "Swanson's Fabric" owner, Kathryn Swanson, airs on Channel 17 on Fridays at 11:30 am.

In sports, the Turners Falls Girls play basketball against Mahar, and the Boys take on Pioneer. The past three Selectboard Meetings from Gill are now available, as is the most recent video meeting from The Police Equity and Use of Force Advisory Group. All community members are welcome to submit their videos to be aired on Channel 17, as well as featured on the MCTV Vimeo page. MCTV is always available to assist in local video production as well. Cameras, tripods, and lighting equipment are available for checkout, and filming and editing assistance can be provided.

Just wondering how other town meeting members feel after the two "practice" meetings we had to learn the technology for a remote town meeting. I'm feeling fairly confident that I'll be okay, but there seemed to be a range of abilities, largely based on differences in equipment and internet connections (I was using a Windows 10 laptop with Comcast internet). And a related question: should the goal be to get through the meeting if at all possible, or to make sure that as many members can participate as possible, even if that means postponing the meeting if too many people have problems?
 

Got to love it. In the last couple weeks there were articles in the Greenfield Distorter how local business's have donated goodies to the hospital. They told me I COULDN"T bring in boxes of goodies for my nurses in Oncolgy. I suppose I'm not important enough. I am only a lowly patient. Stay well....
 

This week in MCTV, the Turners Falls girls basketball teams face off against Hopkins, while the boys play against Pioneer. The school nurses have created a video that details the new COVID precautions that the schools will be requiring for reopening. Find the video titled "GMRSD Covid GFMS TFHS" on the MCTV Vimeo page to review the new mask wearing, hand washing and symptom check procedures required at all Montague Schools. There are new videos of the Police Advisory Committee meeting, the GMRSD meeting, the Selectboard and the Finance Committee meeting.

Why the heck don't they just VOTE ???? I think it is stupid that they are all saying the same thing. Only thing I heard that made sense was the gent that mentioned nothing being done about the rioting,looting and arson that went on earlier in 2020. Just do the damn vote and quit the B.S. IMHO....
