Diane Johnson writes: A Happy, Healthy, and Wonderful 2021 to everyone. Last year, there were so many unexpected changes that affected all of us. We certainly know the downsides of the pandemic. I miss my son, sister, brother, cousins, and friends. Talking is fine; but a good heartfelt bear hug  just can't be replaced by Zoom. It was a year of great separation. It was also a year for many--but definitely not all--of us to reflect and slow down. 
​
To all the medical personnel, first responders, scientists, caregivers, parents, teachers, volunteers, and helpers: THANK YOU.  Last year was, I am sure, overwhelming  many times. To those of who lost loved ones and could not give or receive the support needed at those times, I wish you peace and comfort. To those who lost work, businesses, and hope, I wish you a renewed spirit and purpose. May blessings be many in the coming year.

Be well and safe and keep smiling underneath your mask.

By now, everyone should have a mask, or two, or three... to take everywhere with them. Most every car has one on the dash board or hanging on the rear view mirror. Masks are almost a new fashion statement with all of the different styles and fabrics. Kudos to everyone who is so diligently and respectfully wearing a mask and maintaining a safe distance. All this still seems very odd; yet it is very important. Be well and safe and keep smiling. Even if we can't see your mouth, you can see the sparkle in your eyes. Diane Johnson
Masks are Mandatory at the Transfer Station
The Board of Selectmen voted to require the wearing of masks by all who use our Transfer Station. You have most likely seen the large sign at the entrance gate requesting masks are worn.  Masks are now mandatory both for your safety and our Attendants. Thank you for your cooperation.

Grateful thanks to our advertising sponsors,
