Hello Westfield: first of all I want to apologize for being remiss and leaving out the mention of the passing of David Bannish. Again, a stalwart member of the community has left us. But, let us remember them for their contributions, and commitments. It is hoped that others may take to the campaign trail, or in some way become involved in our civic and civil affairs as they had been. That would be the best way to honor their memory.
On a different subject: many of you know my love for my dog, Ollie, and others. While talking with people at our Animal Rescue Shelter, I noticed a flyer re: items needed. In that the shelter is remote, I asked if people could drop things off at the Police Station, and YES, I will ask the chief first…But, I did ask Lt. Eric Hall if things could be dropped off at the Community policing station on Elm St.; (across from the bus station) he said yes: from 2 PM-6 PM on week days. As said, he and his team, are great people; they even put up with my humor, and other antics. I will try to get that list of stuff that the animals at the shelter need out to the general public ASAP.
On a very different level, have you been to Stop and Shop lately? They have a robot that spots a mess, and calls for some to clean it up. Her name is MARTY! She does not talk to people. Though I have been making that suggestion, or having her have a price checker attached. She gets the attention of the kids real easily. Some have expressed: creepy, but is not. Others:”our replacement.” But, only if we do not evolve our skills, and abilities; actually a whole lot more as how we define and apply a new set of economics, education, etc. That is it for now; I do want to get back to politics, and us stuff very soon…. Your former Ward 3 City Councilor, Brian Hoose …[email protected].
