FB posting by Chief Kingsbury's wife Jean a couple of hours ago indicates that the Chief and others were out all night searching for the man missing at Noon Hill area and dealing with other emergencies.  Jean reported that she ashed the Chief to take a nap, but instead he said he had to get back to Noon Hill.  Medfield is fortunate to have such public safety personnel taking care of our town during the blizzard while we residents stay safely inside.  My thanks to all involved town personnel.

I just won an iPod for the town, from Constellation Energy at the Mass Municipal Assoc.'s annual meeting, and I get to designate to what town department it goes.  Let me know if you have any ideas as to which department should get it for what reason.

Eagle Scout court of honor this afternoon for three from Troop 89 at the UCC.  Three great, poised and accomplished young men.

Downtown Study Committee met with Garden Club President Nancy Tella to seek assistance in planning plantings around Meeting House Pond.  She offered their expertise, and even their money, but indicated that others would have to undertake to maintenance going forward.

Starbucks developer was reported to have closed on the Mobil station site, with plans to have it opened come September.  The town land between the station and Zebra's will hopefully get fixed up as a pocket park as part of the process, with outdoor seating.  MEMO has already promised a bench for the site.

That same developer, Greg Salvatore, has purchased the Lord's site, and reports that there is an interested tenant who may take the whole site, that dividing the space into three stores is possible, and that the conversion will take a year to complete.  The town is working to save the Lord's sign.

A new town tree will be planted in front of Larkin's, donated by MEMO, come April, when the town will celebrate becoming a national arbor town.

Got an email with some good puns –

NEW PUNS FOR THE NEW YEAR 2013

I changed my i Pod name to Titanic. It’s syncing now.

Be kind to your dentist. He has fillings, too. 

I am told that work on a hydrant caused a break in a major water main and that the southern half of the town is without water.   Repairs are under way and are expected to be completed today, with water service restored.

More to follow as soon as known.   At MCAP meeting now and will go to town house when done here.

Nominate an extraordinary Medfield volunteer now, and then join the fun at the Medfield Foundation reception at The Center at 4:00 PM on March 10 to personally fete your nominee before your fellow residents, and to the whole world (Medfield TV both broadcasts the reception locally, but also puts it onto the Internet).  The reception is sponsored through the generosity of the Rockland Trust Charitable Foundation.

See the past nominees and the all fun in the Patch articles from 2011 and 2012 (84 great photographs by Colleen Sullivan in 2012).
