Hi. Sorry this has been so late but it’s been a crazy day. I had lots of other work to do and then had to go to the Region 1 BOE meeting on the NEASC report at 4 p.m. (more on that later) …
On this week’s LJ front page, we have my lead story on the real estate scene in the Northwest Corner and how it has or has not been affected by the crisis gripping the credit industry. There is a compelling update on the sad case of Michael Bradway. And HVRHS football has started off its season with two victories in a row for the first time in recent memory. And a guest Nature’s Notebook column by the legendary Carl Williams.
Inside, Doug Richardson is resigning his chairmanship of the Salisbury Republican Town Committee, Christopher Buckley (himself the son of a famous Republican and author of the hilarious Thank You For Smoking) is coming home to Sharon soon, a profile on Kent’s new rep to the Region 1 BOE and a finely penned column by Tony Piel which I would nonetheless love to deconstruct if I had the time.
In the B section, we have a crazy meeting of the North Canaan P&Z, Ed Herrman will headline Words & Music this weekend in Falls Village and a substantial update by yours truly on the area’s private schools (see also the accompanying editorial). And in Compass, Marsden Epworth reviews the Goshen Players’ “treacly” Enchanted April.
Enjoy and thanks for reading!

So, as the publisher, I can’t help but mention that anyone who thinks Terry was “late” with his wrapup of today’s issue of The Lakeville Journal… should buy a paper! They were on the newsstands early this morning …

And a good paper it was, Janet (and Terry too)!
I thought the editorial was very good and very sensible.
Also, I thought I should say that Lee Kellogg School impressed the dickens out of me this morning when their eighth grade visited Beckley Furnace. 22 kids, all well-prepared, all armed with notebooks (which they used), and they all seemed to have attention spans about 300% of the typical 8th grade attention span. Whatever they are doing in Falls Village is working. Other towns should take note.

Geoff,
I couldn’t agree more. All my encounters w/ LHK students have been overwhelmingly positive. As some people have told me since last week’s article came out, maybe all that money Falls Village spends on its school is worth it.

As someone who has 4 siblings who have/still are attending LHK (myself and my other sister graduated from NCES, a great school in its own right), I must agree. It is a wonderful school. The teachers and staff go above and beyond their duties on a daily basis.
