New Deputy in Town

Seems Deputy Daren is out of town on special assignment until mid-July. While he's gone, Patrol Deputy Richard Harburger is holding down the fort.

Also, seems we having some misbehavin' going on. There was a bit of a 'smash and grab' type of home burglary in one of the shoreline residences in the last few days. Probably young folks. Had a dickens of a time breaking through the door. There were sliding locks at both the top and bottom of the door and the "bad guys" smashed the glass in the door but couldn't reach either of the sliding locks. So they pulled (mighty determined) until the pulled the door frame off ther building enough to slide through the door and entered. Took a lot of liquor. Left the wine and makings for martinis - which gives you an idea of the age and "class" level. They must have been on foot and only took what they could carry - leaving behind televisions, DVD, etc. Creeps.

Not only do we all need to keep our doors and windows locked at night and when we're away, it would be a good idea to leave outside lights on at nighttime, too. And let your neighbors know if you're going to be away so they can listen for strange noises around your place. To call the Sheriff's Dispatch: 947-4585

There's a School Board Meeting this Monday night - 6:30pm at the Eddington School. Maybe we'll get some real info on school budget - this current year and the projected one. Can't plan on the state and shouldn't plan of the Federal Stimulus package.

BTW- I tried to send emails to the addresses on recent newsletters received from Ben Pratt and Richard Rosen. Neither any good. Now what kind of government communication is that?

There is an Eddington Planning Board meeting scheduled for this coming Tuesday night - 6:30pm. One of our reporters - Gretchen, who was at the Town meeting - has developed a map that shoud be of interest to Eddington residents. Read her comments in one of the recent blogs. Just click on comments. You'll find her info. You can even post your own comments of questions. She'll see them and answer you.
