I have a 6 foot Dwarf Alberta Spruce that I will be pulling out soon. I lost its twin last year and I can’t find another similar sized replacement. If anybody is interested in this shrub, please come and get it at your convenience.

So I am hearing the existing location of the fire and police stations are not acceptable to the town officials for a new public safety complex and now they are striking a deal with St. Marks for the Golf Course land with access through Latisquama Road.

We have a main street that is in need of serious revitalization but now they want to turn Latisquama into Main Street 2.0. This is a horrible decision….no more walks and bike rides down Latisquama, forget about walking your dog with all this traffic, cross country skiing or sledding in the winter could be all in the past……… what is this town doing, they are going to destroy a beautiful road, they should be ashamed of themselves and so should St. Marks…….we have arguably the worst looking Main Street of any town and instead of spending money their they want to destroy another neighborhood…. Is any neighborhood or scenic road safe these days?

Is it too early to ask if Rep. Dykema will be supporting Question 2 on the ballot this fall? This is the ballot question allowing 12 additional charter schools to open in the state. Will she break with her party’s leadership (or should I say teacher’s union leadership)?

Although I would disagree with the premiss that our town does not need this option, there are plenty of other towns in the state with failing school systems. Those parents need an option.
