plane crash rattles college professors.

Thursday, Feb. 5th 2009

A plane leaving LaGuardia airport crashed minutes after take-off. On board were two professors of a college here in Ermon. Lyndon State College Professors John Dumont and George Johnson were on board Hightail Flight 1001 when the Airplane suffered an engine malfunction.

Of the 45 people on the flight, 40 survived including the two professors. Their trip to NY for a conference seems to have gotten them into quite a predicament.

Fortunately they were unharmed and were able to catch the next flight back to Ermon. We are grateful that they were unharmed, and pray for those who were lost.

a quick explanation of the music aspect of this site

Hey all,
I'm going to let you know about the musical aspect of this blog. So far it's all been politics, politics, politics. The fact is, that's not all we do. I handle reviews and descriptions of local bands playing in the Burlington area and sometimes a little closer to our state's borders. Let me explain the site design briefly:

We wanted something that would look professional, but not stuck up. So we agreed to the current layout from the options. In addition, many of you may have realized the Salvador Dali painting of the Day on the side. This is because surrealism art is definitely the best thing to juxtapose with politics and music. The Talmud quote at the bottom is because our representative is Jewish, and we always like to do something for him because he does miracles for us. We thought it would be a gesture of fairness to have wisdom from his people's texts for him to glance at whenever he checks up on our site. We're working on a slideshow of our area to put up, and intend on adding some local music to the site. Until then, we are linking anybody interested in local music to Big Heavy World. They have an awesome radio station as well called "The Radiator" It's 105.9 in the Burlington area. They simulcast on their website in case you are too far away to pick up their station. Not too long from now, we'll be working on making sure that every local band is recognized.

Thank you, and we (being us and local musicians) look forward to and appreciate your attention.
