Spoken like a true teacher. Did you know that the average school teacher is only paying 15% of the…Read More actual cost of health care premiums for themselves and their families, when Medical healthcare insurance premiums are rising at an alarming 17% per annum? Do you realize that teachers are paid an additional stipend if they work more than 3 consecutive periods in a day? Are you aware that teacher pensions were protected during the stock market crash of 2008, when the average person's 401K was totally at risk? Perhaps if teachers realized how good they have it - look at the BIG picture and outside of their bubble - then they would complain less. Oh and yes, we need our loftily-paid Administrators to kick in some of the salaries, to help pay for stuff. Hard to believe the school districts' mantras that "it's all for the kids".

sorry hit enter and it popped my statement in above too soon... I'm likely right that all towns…Read More along sound need to have remediation plans on board, but that doesn't mean they have the funds to get it done. I would not be surprised if the meatballs running crookhaven missed the mother-load of that Superfund.

Jennifer, if Bonner speaks about the town trying to buy the property next to east of Scotts beach…Read More (or scots - spelling?) forget about it. that property is meaningless to issues east of that point. Oh by the way this is not confirmed yet but I hear our new Highway guy is/was the lawyer for the guy who owns that track of land. crookhaven makes strange bedfellows hey?

That made me smile! My mom passed away when I was a child and not a day has gone by in the past 37…Read More years that I don't think about her and wonder who this woman was who gave her children the gift of life but never had the opportunity to see her children grow up. The little that I remember of her warms my heart. I wish all mothers, stepmothers, grandmothers and Godmothers a blessed Mother's Day! :)
