The name of the person who passed at the Falls on Tuesday, July 30th, 2019 in the evening was shared in the Republican American as a man from Brooklyn, Anderson Guante.However there was confusion in some press reports giving the name of someone with the same last name but a different first name. We have now clarified that it was Anderson Guante. His body was recovered today, Wednesday, July 31st, 2019 just before 11am. May his family and friends find support for dealing with this difficult turn of events.

Great batch of pictures on the Northwest Corner Chatter on FB inspired this post. The photos of fire trucks and ambulances and many towns coming together with their volunteers marching all deserved great applause and monetery support (in other efforts such as the Falls Village Car Show which benefitted the Falls Village Fire Department for 10 years running now.) Thanks for donating yout time, talent and treasure and living safely and respectfully in the communities as a way of being a team player and sharing your thanks too.

A wonderful tradition with so many sharing the same meaningful mission to join efforts and provide care and inspiration for people to live and drive safely, be neighborly and celebrate the many great things about communities that have been strong for over two hundred and fifty years...
 
We need to keep counting on recruiting people intentionally to take on the skilled roles of jobs that other larger towns hire people to do.
 
There are training opportunities in New York I just heard about so maybe some people would want to go to those programs and circle back with some of their talents

Beauty and The Beast a helpful prompt to talk shop (about relationships, friendships, abuse, cultures, laws and more)

I wrote a poem inspired in part from seeing this... More people should look at what's portrayed and compare to basic 'domestic abuse in relationships'...The first few assaults that create fear in others would be offenses meriting a protective order (if Belle applied for one.) Any physical touch that harmed her or was threatening would be grounds for an arrest.
 
May as well use the 'teachable moments' for everyone to update their awareness of the big difference between theater and real life.

Thank you to all who have taken time to learn of the events that transpired ten years ago when a group of youths unfortunately went to the Falls in Falls Village Ct on a high, fast-water day. The main problems were minors going (even with permission from some adults) and the fast water, particularly going into the water.

Three youths were saved and for that we could ring some bells and have a special time of gratitude...for all who have miracle saves or survive close calls.
