Ben Lester gives out the prizes at the first Albert Lester Memorial Disc Golf Tournament at McCarthy Park this afternoon, held to raise awareness about impaired driving and money to prevent substance abuse.  Proceeds go to MCAP via the MFi.

In the photo Carole Cornelison describes the new elements of the mediated clean up of the C&D area at the MSH, which appear on the screen behind her.  The plan calls for removal of most of the contaminated materials out of the wetlands and burying and capping them on site in the former area that was dug out to build the power plant.  The power plant has been demolished.  The landscape design creates beautiful river overlooks.

WordPress just gave me this encouragement message:  “You published 1,000 posts.”  If they really wanted to motivate bloggers, they would follow my Fitbit’s methods of motivating and encouraging one, by giving out goofy badges.

James Callahan, Matthew McKinney, and Parker Wooden get their Eagle Scout pins at the Court of Honor this afternoon at the UCC, with their parents also being recognized.

Months and Years

Second house next to the Beehive was also demolished this past week.  There are for sale signs in front of both, so the owner must be looking to sell lots.  It is a big parcel, much wet, but I seem to recall being told that uses are limited to use of the existing house footprint.

The house at the corner of Harding and West Mill Streets, known as the Beehive, was demolished this past week, with the red single story house next to it also coming down. 

I am guessing that the owner waited out the demolition delay period, as there seemed to be activity around the house about a year ago, and then a long period of inactivity.  Another part of Harding’s history is gone.

I thought I was hearing woodcocks last week in the twilight as I got home, and then Friday evening while walking to the Kingsbury Club I saw one clearly against the sky as it flew up off the ground when I flushed it by walking nearby. A sure sign of spring in my neighborhood, and one that probably took me a couple of Yeats to figure out what I was seeing as I witnessed their mating flights and listened to their calls in the spring twilight as I walked my golden.
