CVHAS Goat Yoga Brings ‘A Breath Of Joy’

Helpful Volunteers Run NHS Marching Band & Color Guard 50-Family Tag Sale

It is shameful how much of the ARP money was used to increase politicians' political standing and padding local budgets. The American rescue plan was created to "provide emergency grants, lending, and investment to hard-hit small businesses so they can rehire and retain workers". I am not sure how a patio at the Community Center, a bus, a dump truck, or really any of these helped small businesses. The sense of overwhelming entitlement to the sentiment that it is a free money and we need to use it by 2026 just makes me sad.

Selectmen Approve $90,000 In ARP Funds For Bus

There is a new ladder truck about to go in service, and two others in service including one in Hawleyville. There's also an additional ladder in Bethel, Southbury, and two in Brookfield.

Concerns Tied To Warehouse Proposal Riling Local Fire Officials

I would hope that if any new equipment or vehicles was needed to handle this warehouse, that it is included ibn any approval given, should it be approved. $1 million for a new ladder truck is just the cost of doing business to these people.

I think the killing of this animal is tragic and should have been avoided. I however do not think the bear was "defenseless". A bear has sharp 2' claws on its front paws. A bear has 42 teeth in its mouth that can generate almost 1,000 psi of force. Yes, bears are cute in cartoons but they are still wild animals, especially when protecting their cubs. I think the real injustice here is with DEEP for not planning to relocate this bear a long time ago. Also, for the people who knowingly feed the bears, be it PB&J sandwiches that look cute on Facebook in a hammock or by having bird feeders that are not protected. I am sure the officer reacted within their years of training and I will continue to fight for the rights of officers to protect us.

Another Note Regarding Bobbi The Bear

Mitch Bolinsky showed up last night at the P&Z review. Was great to have a town official at the meeting and sharing his thoughts.
