Dear Northwest Corner of CT, and Tri-Corner MA/NY/ CT Residents and Visitors, 
Our area has sadly been through the difficult unexpected violent loss of five people. Apparently one disturbed (and possibly depressed) man took the lives of his legal wife and their biological children in mid March of 2019. Many courageous volunteer rescue workers and police responded professionally, skillfully and compassionately.

The entire Sheffield MA community, particularly the local school and neighborhood of the amazing talented and caring mother and the twin 7-year old children who attended and their

Thanks Deep and Ope for giving US All Hope (and Marianne.com too whose running for US Pres but needs 65K donors at a dollar a piece before April 15th...to get in the debates as do the other Dem. Candidates..Who knows How Much Grassroots participation counts?

That'd be everyone in small towns and even in bustling communities in the cities... when people Slow Down Enough to Make a Point of Doing something meaningful (like donating of voting), Change happens like Magic!

There's lots springing up for the one and the many in any season. Somehow in the warmer weather just getting outside feels like an outing and fesitval with bird song, critters (I saw three deer, a red fox and some other critter scurry a few feet in front of me on my way to a garden club meeting in the evening last night.) I also heard spring peepers, and read that others have been tuning in as well, so Spring Is Here! 

'All God's Critters Got a Place in the Choir" as well as "I've Got  A Song" are ones that come to mind when I think of Folk Festivals as well as remembering Sandy (Charles

Here are some pricey programs (such as education.mit offers for a 1K/day for a few days or more on communication, leadership, and so on)...maybe good ones, but unless someone lets us know, we will be guessing.

We likely need to roll out a public education campaign to know who can talk to whom and about what, for how long and under what circumstances...over which time period and so on.

Here is a letter I wrote to some I know about this issue.
Hello Everyone, 
Thank you for working diligently on this important issue for the co-op community and the issues at large. I have been following the e-mails, video, NY Times article-- "A Handyman, A Sudden Eviction and A Gentrification Battle Royale" by John Leland. I had to subscribe but likely that's a good thing overall.
 
 I have met John Leland before since he wrote a book  called Happiness Is a Choice You Make about what it's like to age. He had interviewed people for a year, and far more than those who were in his book.
