SUMMARY:How do we Know what we Know?
DESCRIPTION:Southern Vermont Astronomy (SoVerA) will be hosting a four-part mini-series at the Whiting Library on four consecutive Fridays at the Whiting Library in Chester\, Vermont starting March 24th. Each program will begin at 6PM. If the skies cooperate after any one of the presentations\, binoculars and telescopes will be set up for the participating audience to observe some of the celestial wonders our Vermont skies provide. SoVerA members Rick Bates\, Rick Hunter and Claudio Véliz will be providing a little of the intrigue astronomy inspires\, while imparting some of the knowledge which can help us appreciate some of its mysterious aspects.  \nRick Hunter will begin to answer the question: “How can we really start to know anything about what at first glance appears as only some very small\, quite faint (few exceptions: planets\, moon and sun) dots in the night sky?” As recently as 1840 August Comte\, a French philosopher\, said nothing could ever be known about the composition of the stars. Meanwhile\, Joseph von Fraunhofer had\, about 30 years before\, already laid the groundwork of spectroscopy\, as well as building some of the best refracting telescopes to that time. In 1838 Friedrich Bessell was able to find the first accurate distance to a nearby star. The work of these two began the process of classifying stars\, finding their distances\, brightnesses\, sizes\, and makeup. It’s another one of those famous “detective stories’ ‘ in science\, with a fascinating cast of characters! Distance is the “perpetrator\,” scientists the sleuths.

SUMMARY:Green Up & Seed Down
DESCRIPTION:On May 6th\, 2023\, Whiting Library is throwing our 4th annual Green Up & Seed Down celebration at the library at 117 Main St. from 10am-1pm.  Join us and get involved with this much-loved\, spring clean-up tradition that activates thousands of Vermonters to take care of their communities by picking up roadside litter. Keeping our environment clean is good for our health\, good for businesses\, and good for our property values. Together we build pride in our cities and towns and teach our youth about powerful civic engagement that affects climate change. \nLet’s celebrate Green Up Day together! \nCarrie Roy King and the Whiting Library are again co-leaders of the Green Up efforts this year! \nGreen Up Bags are already available at the Whiting Library\, Chester Hardware Store\, Erskines\, and Chester Town Hall. \nThe dumpster will be at the Town Garage on May 3rd. \nStay safe. Wear bright colors\, bring a friend\, watch out for sharps\, be COVID cautious\, and do a tick check. \nThe Whiting Library invites all Green Uppers to visit the Seed Sowing Station on Green Up Day\, Saturday\, May 6\, to sow a variety of sunflower seeds to grow this summer. \nThe Seed Library at Whiting Library provides access to flower\, herb\, and vegetable seeds and is free and open to all\, with or without a library card and is sponsored by Mountain Valley Climate Action 350VT and Chester Community Greenhouse and Gardens. \nMentor Program – this is a great way to get you some assistance and to get local high school students involved in their communities. The extra set of hands and boots on the ground helps and the feedback proves it was also very fun for those who participated last year. If you know of any high school students who want community service hours\, this is a great way to get loads of hours! \nI believe we get every road in town. Let’s double check this year and we’ll let Green Up VT know. Thanks again for being willing to help with this community project. Stay in touch. Carrie and I are happy to help in any way we can! \nMore info at Green Up Vermont. \nStay Green! \nFrank Kelley and Carrie \n
