« on: June 18, 2011, 10:24:13 PM »
Its not surprising to me hear that Duane Leach put them up every year, Duane does a lot. I am all in favor of putting the flags up for the fourth and will get in touch with Duane to volunteer and help put them up. I am a little nervous about the condition and quanity. I will find out. If it becomes a financal burden, does anyone have any suggestions?

As Memorial Day comes to a close here in Fairfax We must All appreciate that we All live in a Great Country. I missed the Flags this year on the telephone poles. Driving through Fairfax on Memorial Day used to be a wonderfull experience. What happened this year? Do we need to buy more flags, volunteers, is the new government preventing us? If its money then maybe the town selectboard can make a one time waiver to do a coin drop to buy flags for next Memorial Day, If youn need help, ask. Id like to see Main Street next year with all the flags.

Thoughts & Musings From Pastor Liz / Marvin
« on: May 13, 2011, 05:50:32 PM »
I just recently went through a rough time and had a problem. I was told by an old man " to do what Marvin would do". At that point I no  longer had a problem, God Bless You Marvin and Thank You for continuing to Bless Us.

Nice Mike, I am a die-hard Republican but am not bashfull to say that our President did a remarksble job and showed that he trusts the people that work for him. It was an historic day for Our Country. President Obama did what he did because he has  Great staff and respects the people that work for him. When someone belives in you, you can the the impossible. Our President did his job, did it very well. Thanx Mike

I am just a maintenace person at school but in my oppinion this has been the best year ever in student behavior and faculty support, Collective Bargaining, Unions, and a persons hourly rate does not spply. I really mean it. Ive been here going on 13 years and am happy to say that our teacdhing staff, paraeducater staff, the abbey, the bus drivers, and us costodians, are contributing to this being even a greater year.  L ets all be Happy, Proactive, and proud of ourselves for doing s great job. Thank You ALL, You make our lives easier, Thank You

To Shadylane,  I think they  do everything right and do a great job. This school has great coaches, very underpaid, most schools can afford to pay assistant coaches, ares can't,Assistant Coaches are Huge and every Team needs them, Ours are ALL Volunteers, Thank You. As far as Coaches I think we are doing fine. We are definitely getting the Bang for our Buck. It wss a sad incident that happened but let us ALL please let these student athletes finish what they started.

I just have to say one more thing about this issue and Im done until Town Meeting, Thank You Mr, Erdl !!!!!!  I have worked here at BFA for 12 years and you have always done an excellent job in snow blowing the sidewalk down Hunt street, an excellent job. every year since I retired from the Army. I feel your pain Mr. Erdl and hated to see the snowmobiles using it. That made it impossible for you to do. Thank you and I want everyone to know that 1 person use to take care of an entire road, Mr. Erdl.

Thank you for reminding me Mr. Shea. You say a tax incentive for clearing ones own side walks is a tax increase for all tax payers wether they have a sidewalk or not. you are correct. Would a tax incentive to the homeowners of the properties with sidewalks be less than the town becoming responsible for clearing the sidewalks?  people are going to pay either way, which is less? I meant nothing deragatory Mr. Shea, Im not a politician but I do agree with the person who started this thread that the children, parents, and maybe a few tourists shouldnt be walking on the road because at least one sidewalk has been turned into a snowmobile trail. I support most everything you do Mr. Shea and I admit I was wrong to assume, I know what you mean. This is an issue that needs disecting by people much smarter than me but i if I could ask you to do one thing. What do other Towns and Municiapalities do? Is Fairfax not providing something almost everyone else is? I didnt start this but I do agree 100 % with the person that did. Thanx Dave and by the way, Im on your side. Mr, Stewart

The way I interpret what you wrote Dave would almost be like saying I dont have any kids in school so why should I have to pay taxes to the school, Essex cancelled school yesterday because their sidewalks wern't cleared, granted 85 percent of them walk to school but that super made a decision based on the safety of children, I have learned in my life and 20 years in the army, it is always best to error on the side of caution.

There was this big push for Vermont Safe Routes to school, I believe i read about that movement on this web-site, there definitely must be some money out there to fund this idea, grants etc... I believe that to have safe routes to schools you must provide a safe route to school
