It's Car Show Time in Falls Village CT (not long after the the town's 275th Anniversary) so no hurry, just come have fun!

Don't feel you are coming late to the party in Falls Village CT. It's been going on for over 275 years as a town and thousands of years before that with Natives along the Housatonic River from below Kent to  Town of Canaan/ Falls Village and Stockbridge MA, called The Berkshire Path. Now in modern times there are still echoes of the past, particularly the Ames Iron Works which helped significantly in winning the war that shaped this country's identity.

Now it's time to see where the wheels of time have gotten us, and it's easy enough to find the car enthusiasts and wonderful people who

Lighting a Candle for For the Late Jaevon Whyte of Hartford CT, A Young Man With Much to Teach US-All on the Fourth of July 2018

Very sad situation.. Jaevon Whyte, age 17 almost, passed away in the pool of Keney Park in Hartford CT. While he and two friends at least 2 others and as many as 20 trespassed over high fences, he somehow drowned without his friends realizing it.
 
That may have been at 9pm with a large group of friends or just a pair of others If a large group was there and they thought the police were coming, that could explain some chaos that may have contributed to Jaevon struggling if he took in some water or if he stepped into a deeper part of the pool since he couldn't swim.

Catch the Big Pittsfield MA Live This 4th of July 2018.The Star Spangled Banner was sung clear as a bell by Linda Billow. Well over a hundred groups will be marching represening much of the Berkshires. I have gotten to the parade twice and really had a special time. I did some outreach about my late teen son Kaelan  Palmer Paton who passed saving friends from the Housatonic River in Fals Village and Salisbury Ct in June 2009. I wanted to reverence the many connections, mostly wonderful and positive that happen for people along the banks of the same river.

As the Hurt and Anger Builds Over the 2K Kids Held By Immigration Rules, Inquire About The Cancer in the Family Courts

on Tue, 07/03/2018 - 02:52

There's a lot of info on CA Protective Parents and The Center of Judicial Excellence to help America understand that what happens at the border is not much different that what happens in Family Court in our country. It's not comprehensible and often has people disbelieving it (if they are not living through it...or know someone they care about going through such horrors.)
We need to promote Resolution 72 in the Congress to address these matters which Mothers of Lost Children have helped initiate.

As we ready for 4th of July celebrations, a new way to appreciate that

"This land is your land, and this land is my land.

from California to the New York Islands..." is to indulge in

composting (indoors or out) and

sharing the knowledge as well as benefitting from the 'outputs'

of such a system which can be created

on small or much larger scales, for individuals, groups or commercial uses.

For starters let me share the websites

that I learned of at a free workshop sponsored by The Sharon Conservation Committee
