Due to circumstances beyond their control, this event had to be resceduled from Feb. 17. Please join the Baldwin Players for a little lovin', a little laughin' and a lot of fun! Light refreshments will be served after the performance. Come early, there's limited seating and the parking lot fills up fast!

They are an awful company, I called as well as e-mailed my displeasure with their new and easier to…Read More navigate homepage and was met with surprise by the tech support person. My location says that I am in West Babylon NY when I am in Milford CT (can't change that), the e-mails delete willy nilly (note: be careful to pay attention to your highlighted e-mail as it is not always the one that is being deleted). Oh, and why on earth such a huge map of their optimum hotspots when I am at home and as their customer they should at least figure that I have the internet service so therefore no reason for a hot spot at home. I am totally amazed that nobody, not one person at Optimum took a look at that piece of junk and still thought that it was ready to release to the public? Best part is that they were so sure that we'd all love it that we cannot go back to the old home page. Simply beyond amazing.

I don't always agree with you Patti but you're right on about this.

To clarify, for those who are wondering why we can't just take the two cats up with us, we already…Read More have four cats, and a dog. We could only take two of the four cats with us, plus the dog (who is 14yrs. old.) The limit for the rental is three pets... this was a hard decision for us all. We would have taken them all if we could.

Another example of why to never leave your pet unattended in your vehicle!

Now that Sam has been found, the reason he ran off was due to the sound of gunfire at Roosevelt…Read More Forest in the early afternoon as his master was getting ready to take him out of his car. All had been quiet, the park was open, so the loud bangs were a surprise - both to Sam and his "Dad".
To the best of my knowledge, when the shooting range is used by the Stratford PD, the park is closed to the public. It was that way always and I believe still is. But now, with non-Stratford police personnel using the range, obviously the Park is NOT closed as was observed/heard yesterday at 2 separate time periods of the day. The range is used by at least one other police department. Of course, there could be unauthorized people using the range too. I just don't know. But what I do know that yesterday (Wed), there was shooting early afternoon, and then again around 6PM. I observed at around 5:00PM, a little boy running up the dirt road that leads to the shooting range. The park remained opened all day! The shooting was NOT being done by the Stratford Police.
People do not always stick to the trails, and as we all know, children can be quite curious. Who is to say a child and/or adult gets near the berm or behind it and someone shoots over the berm? What goes up, has to come down. I also was told that neighbors say there is shooting going on quite frequently, even on Sundays. I doubt that this is from Stratford PD, because outdoor shooting usually occurs for a week or so, twice a year.
Tighter controls must be done!
Surely, the parking area can be checked for vehicles... but I observed yesterday people entering the parking area (adjacent to the driveway leading up to the range) on foot, on bicycles, and motorcycles. So people could be in the park even when no vehicles are observed in the lot. Safety is key here! Procedures need to be put in place and perhaps limitations on when other police department(s) can use the range.
It is not fair to the surrounding residents to have to hear the bang bang bang on Saturdays and Sundays. It scares some of them, and I know that one person who lives nearby says her dog gets scared right inside their house!
What will it take? A child or an adult wandering near the range, thinking it is OK because the Forest is open... and then, all of a sudden, there is shooting and one gets shot, especially a child? This may sound extreme, but children can move quick and suddenly. I think of that little boy running up toward the range. He could have very well traveled through the woods.
I can picture bullets being shot over the berm, not on purpose, but it can happen. Or shots go to the left or to the right; and people could be in the same general area - out of sight of the shooters.
Bottom Line: The "public" can not be in the park while the range is "live", or in other words, when there is shooting taking place. As how to ensure that the public is not in the park, is not for me to determine. But the Town has to step up to the plate and address this very important issue.

Great shot! One of my favorite places to take pictures of weather

That's beautiful Carol! I'm surrounded by land so this is so great to see!

I hope people note how these comments go. Anonymous right-wingers try to change the discussion,…Read More prove a point that no one is arguing, and then declare victory. Both "Goodie Bassett" and "Reagan Night" say Ms. Daponte is lying because Tony Smith won't be removed from office. I just re-read Beth's piece to see where she made this claim, but she never said anything of the sort. What she did say was "Both Tony and Linda serve until January 1, 2016." So, where's the "half-truth"? The point of the post is that the new land use District II, comprised of the 3rd & 4th council districts, has no representation on any of these boards. Tony Smith will be the District II Zoning Commissioner, even though he doesn't live in that district. The extreme right can't defend this, so they try to change the subject.

Isn't it odd that the half truths are written by people that won't sigh their real name but the…Read More Democrats sign theirs. Huh, guess they don't want to be held accountable for their inuendo's and false acusations.
