More than ever with the further complications and demands on our time and the rules, regulations and policies surrounding issues which affect our individual lives, Town and Region, we need greater access and information about public proceedings.

The need for filming and broadcast of our local town meetings is greater than ever. Broadcast of meetings seems to be a non-starter from official Town sources or via our cable TV systems.

Does anyone have the knowledge or technical expertise about what is involved with pod-casts or other digital recording of meetings for distribution over the Internet?

It is time to continue the dialogue…

They seem to be everywhere. There were even a few that revealed themselves when one of the massive snowbanks in front of my house finally melted. I had always brought home my groceries in them, and just brought them back to the store for recycling. This year I made a conscious decision to switch to reusable fabric bags. I just wanted to make one more small change for the environment. As it turns out, its become so much more than that. With the longer handles on the fabric bags, its easier to bring all of the groceries in the house in one go, and they don't fall over and spill all over my car like the plastic ones did!
