RBG - The Moviehouse
In tribute to Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s life and unparalleled legacy upholding justice, Magnolia Pictures is proud to offer our documentary RBG for Virtual Cinema ($6.99 to own). Magnolia will be donating our net proceeds to the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) Foundation in support of their Women’s Rights Project, which was co-founded by Ginsburg in 1972. While we're all mourning the loss of an American hero, we hope that viewers will be re-introduced to her work, and take her passion and courage back out into the world.

Local Sports Venues Continue To Raise Money For Charity |

About a mile off Kennedy Drive in Torrington is perhaps the best-kept secret around. Every Sunday from spring through the end of October the Foothills BMX complex is a beehive of activity as youngsters swarm the 1/5 mile track to compete in BMX racing.

Foothills BMX is just one of the hundreds of venues raising money for over 350 area non-profits through sports-related fundraisers. You can find them at sportingAcause.com. |

THE STORIES WE TELL
CONSIDER CIDERIES
by KATHRYN BOUGHTON
How can it be that a fruit that emerged 50 million to 65 million years ago—just about the time dinosaurs became extinct—and that has been pressed into duty for millennia to make beverages for human kind, is now creating the biggest buzz in the beverage world?
Making apple cider dates back at least as far as the Greeks and Romans and was already firmly entrenched in England by 55 BC when the Romans invaded...
