Great story (and it is funny, because I did not see this story in my Globe today)-

Keeping an immigrant family’s dream alive

Sean picked out the house in Medfield, and he was thinking of Sheila when he did. The big backyard, the open fields, reminded her of the place she …

While I was on the treadmill at the Kingsbury Club this morning, I got to see “Medfield, MA” listed on two TV shows, as Curt Shilling was interviewed about the vicious and unconscionable on-line attacks against his MHS student daughter based on his proud father post about her getting into a college, and his subsequent outing of two of those who did it.

I am concerned enough about that sort of flaming, but even more so about hackers getting in to things that they should not, that without knowing the technical issues, I am thinking that we cannot allow on-line anonymity any longer.  If people are to be responsible for their on-line actions, the only way I can think to make that happen is to require the use of real names to get on-line.  It is time to restructure the internet.

This one shows the wall paper pealing due to the leak into the men’s room.

I got a tour of the leaks and building problems at The Center during my monthly first Friday selectmen office hours this morning. This is a waste basket catching a leak in one of the activity rooms.

Roberta said that she had spent $5,400 having the roof cleared of snow.

Roberta showed me about 6-8 leaks, and the doors that no longer open or close properly. One door was hitting asphalt at the bottom, a second was hitting concrete, and a third (the front door) was just not closing properly.

This was the Pack 200 Webelos crossing over ceremony at the Blue and Gold Banquet last Saturday night at St Edwards. These boys will start Boy Scouts this month.

Selectman Osler “Pete” Peterson holds regular monthly office hours at The Center on the first Friday of every month from 9:00 to 10:00 AM (his litigation schedule permitting).  Residents are welcome to stop by to talk in person about any town matters.

Residents can also have coffee and see the Council on Aging in action (a vibrant organization with lots going on).

Peterson can be reached via 508-359-9190 or his blog about Medfield matters  https://medfield02052.wordpress.com/, where any schedule changes will be posted.

This is what the C&D area along the edge of the Charles River looks like this morning. In the middle is the new hill created in the hollow where the power plant used to stand, because that is where DCAMM piled all the contaminated material it dug out of the wetlands along the edge of the river, in the area that is in the left of the photo.

Skiing was great.[ end]

Best,Pete

Bob McDonald and Bill Donovan of the Waste Water Treatment Plant at the selectmen meeting to report on their receipt of the EPA award for the quality of the improvements at the WWTP. The EPA commendation is on the table in the foreground. Medfield was the only recipient in Massachusetts.

Word Press Statistics:

I was just looking to see what Word Press statistics tell me, and these were the ones that I found interesting:

479 people get a Word Press email of blog posts

238 get posts via Twitter

149 get posts via Facebook

??? via LinkedIN

Biggest view days at Word Press were:

800 (almost) people wanting to know if their street was going to get DPW work done last spring, when Patch linked to the list.

473 people looking at post about Medfield having run out of salt on 2/9/15.

This year pi day is even more appropriate, as it come on 3.14.15, a once in a century pi day occurrence.  Hope the snow does not ruin it.
