This is such a wonderful and fitting tribute to Moe, a tremendous life force. I'm so grateful our paths on this planet intersected if only for a short four years. I am certainly the better for it.
If the NIMBYs don't want anything built on the land then they should band together to purchase it from the land owner. There is a steady trend in Newtown where a small, but vocal group of residents seek to dictate how private land owners can use their property.
In between growth and decline is status quo. The town certainly needs to anticipate that the state and certain developers will push for their particular requirements through any means necessary. This does not mean that the town should rush to embrace a 'growth' strategy. We must be prepared to push back against unwarranted and unwanted development.
Good call! Thank you for the correction, I had mistaken his opinion as a statement from a committee but now I realize he is just speaking for I guess a facebook group. Kind of a confusing name, but yes, I should have caught it. Thanks!
It's inspiring to see young people taking proactive steps to learn crucial skills like CPR and first aid through programs like the Child & Babysitting Safety Program. Instructor Terrance Burroughs' interactive approach, including games like "Hazard Hunt," not only engages participants but also reinforces important safety principles. It's heartening to know that these future babysitters are enthusiastic about making spaces safer for children and are eager to apply their knowledge in hands-on exercises, such as swaddling and feeding. Burroughs' dedication to teaching these skills shines through, and it's clear that his efforts are making a positive impact on the community. I'm on maternity leave at the moment, but I'm starting to looking for a babysitter and I think that it's a mandatory requirement for them to go through such training. I would also like to know your opinion regarding contracts with babysitters, are they required? I mean, should we immediately make a contract to outline ban of smoking, substances, alcohol?
