Maple Moon
[Apr. 16, 2008] I wrote last month’s column long before that terrible car accident. I couldn’t know that it would appear in print at the same time as the accident. My heart goes out to all the families involved. I only mentioned driving and accidents because so many people are hurt on the roads, especially young people. I hoped my comments might make a difference to the way a driver thinks.

Playing Hide & Seek with Myself
[Apr. 16, 2008] I think I’m beginning to acknowledge the fact that I’m getting older. Now mind you, I still think young, but there are reminders out there that no matter how I think, old age is creeping in. There are times I head out of the office and drive up the hill heading North. Halfway up I start wondering where is it I’m heading? I figure that if I just keep driving I’ll spot something that will trigger my memory; most of the time it works and it’s either Sovereign Bank or Stop & Shop that is my destination.
Now, I can’t tell you how many times I can’t find my car in the S & S parking lot. I just become just another person going up and down the rows with my shopping cart in tow. I become convinced that the car has been stolen, when, there it is, parked nowhere near where I swear I put it.

The Weekend Warrior
[Apr. 16, 2008] Back in the early 70s, for reasons which will forever remain a mystery, I became nostalgic for military service and almost on a whim I decided to join the active Army Reserve and become a Weekend Warrior.

Books by Nancy: March 2008
[Mar. 4, 2008] Buchanan takes on George Bush and the neo-conservatives whose ideology it is to bomb recalcitrant countries into democracy, or perhaps more accurately, capitalism, whether they want it or not. Buchanan’s position is ‘America first’, and given the decline of the American economy in the past eight years, it’s hard to disagree with him even if you’re a liberal democrat, and I am.

Mauro Mazzilli Passes Away
[May 14, 2008] It is with a heavy heart that The Observer announces the death of Mauro Mazzilli, 65, of 13 Cedar Lane in Rocky Nook. EMT's were called to his home earlier this morning and he was pronounced dead at the Jordan Hospital. Mauro was a colorful man who loved the political process and being a part of it. He most recently ran for Selectman. Mauro had many friends and had a kind heart. We will miss him terribly and find it difficult to believe he is gone. Our heart goes out to his wife Dotty, his children and his beloved grandchildren.
We will pass on more specific information after we speak with Dotty.

God Bless Mauro.

Randall Prevails on Recount
[May 14, 2008] After a 30 minute instructional period and less then two hours of counting, Selectman Dennis Randall can finally feel better about continuing in the position. The re-count showed no change in his three vote victory over ZBA Chairman John Haas, 386-383. Not a single ballot was ever challenged during the process. Randall was gracious in after the process as was Haas.

Shangri-La Restaurant, Tastes of India & Nepal
[Apr. 16, 2008] We have always enjoyed Indian Cuisine and was delighted to see Shangri-La Restaurant open right in the downtown of Plymouth. The fare is primarily Indian with a pleasant mix of Nepalese dishes.

The call came into the Kingston Police station at 6:59 a.m. this morning. The girl was still underneath the vehicle, a 2000 red Dodge Dakota pickup truck operated by Ryan Lynch who also resides in the subdivision.
