Got it he violated everyone's constitutional rights so he is a HERO in the minds of theRead More progressives!!! Better hope he has a plan for the 1.2 billion in revenues he is going to loose when GUN COMPANY'S pack up and leave. The man is sharper than a TACK>?????????

About time, and glad to have you back Dr. Reed. You always were good at seeing that our schoolRead More systems were up-to-date, this is a long overdue facet for our families in for Newtown. Thank you for taking some stress off of families in town.

The NHS graduation is being held at the same time as this event. The dogs have meant so much to theRead More seniors, parents, teachers and staff of NHS, it is disappointing we will not have the opportunity to take part in this gathering. Please know we are sending our LOVE and THANKS to all the handlers and our sweet furry friends. You brought countless smiles when we needed them the most.

If you are on a municipal sewer system or think that the water may be from your septic system, youRead More will need additional steps. If you aren't sure, when the water is calm, flush a toilet. If there is movement in the water, call a plumber. Since this water may be contaminated with fecal matter, more cleaning/decontaminating is necessary as well. Also, the speed of water removal is only an issue when you are talking feet of water and using higher capacity pumps.

thanks chris, great info

This appears to be the issue in Meadowbrook Manor that Brookfield's Selectmen have failed to make aRead More priority preferring instead to have residents in fecal contaminated water creating a health emergency. What a shame. They pay taxes too, but have been ignored for years.

Why is it the panel for this event does not include a single advocate for gun-owners' rights? WithRead More all due respect to Chief McNamara, why does the panel no include a person who can speak to gun safety from a gun-owning civilian's perspective? ML, you claim that the assembled folks "do not offer judgements about gun ownership" but they are not including a single voice that can offer perspective on gun ownership. I have been to "education" sessions sponsored by Meg's March for Change and they are one-sided indoctrinations into gun control advocacy. >>>> I was in Hartford for the public hearings in January when both Meg and March co-founder Nancy gave their personal testimonies and they all but threatened the legislators on the panel with election day retribution for all those who did not tow the gun-control line of thinking (i.e. March and CAGV). To suggest that Meg "does not offer judgements" is fallacious and disingenuous.

I'm o n Butterfield. No sightings here. Any specifics as to her location?

Norma has been spotted this morning at the intersection of Kenan and Currituck. The red leash isRead More still attached. She was trying to eat a dead squirrel on Currituck. Very skittish, but still in the neighborhood (yay). Please watch for her. My husband and sister-in-law (who first spotted her on Currituck this morning) were unable to get near her. She's in the woods, heading toward Butterfield. Her foster mom is on the scene now. Folks in the neighborhood, please watch for her and call 203-942-4008 if you see her.

Carolee Mason (Newtown's Animal Control Officer) is watching her from her car at the moment, armedRead More with catfood to tempt her closer. The foster mom is on her way there again, this time with chicken, and Laura is on her way with hamburger. Problem is, this dog is VERY shy, skittish and quick to run away.
