  • 12/24 4:08pm   I have to share this wonderful experience with you all.
    So for months I have been researching cars to purchase for my college student. Something not too expensive, handles well, has space and gets good mileage. So off I send my husband to look at a few cars I found for sale online. The call I received from him was "I love it!". My husband drives a BMW and is also owner of a Corvette and was very impressed with the handling of the Prius. Here is the best part. There is a little auto dealer right in Walpole who exclusively sells the Prius's. The gentleman who owns it is very knowledgeable on this automobile, no pressure sales, willing to help. If you have a need to buy a car that gets over 40 miles to the gallon, handles well I highly suggest calling or stopping buy A1 Auto Sales on 1A in Walpole. The owner is Dan, very nice young man.

  • 12/24 3:57pm   Norfolk needs your help! The Norfolk Community Preservation Committee is conducting a survey of Norfolk residents as a key step toward updating the Town's Open Space and Recreation Plan (OSRP). Completing an OSRP that gains approval from the Massachusetts Division of Conservation Services (DCS) provides two primary benefits:
    (1) It provides a document to guide future Town decisions pertaining to open space and recreation, and
    (2) It makes the Town eligible for grants that can be used to purchase open space and develop recreation facilities.
    Public participation is a key component of preparing a plan so Town residents are urged to take a few minutes to provide an indication of the types of recreation activities and sports they or family members participate in, which facilities and open spaces they use and their thoughts about future efforts to meet open space and recreation needs in Norfolk. The last time Norfolk had a DCS-approved OSRP, the state provided funds that helped purchase the Lind Farm Conservation Land. The survey can be accessed through the Town web site, virtualnorfolk.org, or directly at the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Norfolk-OSRP. If you prefer a to fill out a paper copy of the survey, you may obtain one Town Hall at the Offices of the Planning Board or Recreation Department and completed surveys can be returned to the Planning Board Office. Responses will be accepted until January 31, 2015.

  • 12/24 3:55pm   Regarding changing electric suppliers ~ you need to do your home work. In nearly all cases the first six months of your contract with your new energy supplier you will certainly see a savings but just to be clear you are only seeing the savings on the price per kiloWatt hour (kWh) and then after 6 months with the variable pricing structure will likely see an increase of 5% to 50% or maybe even more. The price of transition, transmission and delivery of that electricity is still made by NSTAR (at least for Norfolk) and that too is increasing ~ although not as much as the kWh charges. This morning I got a call from the previously pitched (12/15/14) green energy provider. This is call is a high pressure, fear laced sales pitch that your energy bills could be so costly this winter it was like I may not be able to pay my mortgage. After a polite, I'm happy with my current provider, I got a little bit of attitude and the beginning of ``you'll be sorry and here's why'' I just hung up the phone. Do your homework. And as the saying goes ~ if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.

  • 12/15 3:55pm   AB-G: Why do assert that "I doubt many teens read the NN (nor should they)"? It seems to me that many Norfolk teens follow NorfolkNet, to the benefit of all of us. These local teens offer to babysit, do yard work, and provide many other services. Sometimes it is for high school spending money, and other times it is for college. Either way, the teen and the ``employer'' both generally benefit. One of the other positive outcomes of Norfolk Net is the facilitation of these types of opportunities for community interaction. How better to get to know your neighbors then to do chores for them at a reasonable rate? I'd like to think our kids can handle the G/PG content hosted here.

  • 12/9 12:43am   Many kudos and heartfelt thanks belong to the young person or persons who dropped a dime on the ( alleged) perpetrator of animal cruelty on Grove St. Obviously, in addition to being more than despicable this miscreant was a poor judge of character. It's a good thing a video was made, because we might never have known what was going on. What an embarrassment for the town had these teens not come forward to seek justice for that dog. I hope the defendants don't land in front of some silly judge who lets them off because they're "just juveniles". I hope they are punished to the full extent of the law. Fortunately the animal cruelty laws were stiffened after that poor dog, who had to be euthanized, was found in Quincy. Richard Ross was involved in that legislation. I doubt many teens read the NN ( nor should they) so if any of you happen to know the brave young defenders of that dog, please thank them for me. The town should honor them in some special way.

  • 12/9 12:42am   It's that time of year again!! Dog tags in the town of Norfolk all expire December 31st so if you want to get ahead of the process, dog registration is beginning on December 15th. You can register by mail, in person, or on the Town Clerk's website. If you renew by mail, please include a self addressed, stamped, return envelope.
    Registration forms will also be included with your census for your convenience.
    The cost is $10.00 per dog if they are spayed/neutered, $15.00 each if they are not. Please make checks payable to Town of Norfolk and send them to the Town Clerk's office - 1 Liberty Lane.
    New this year - the town voted to accept a Mass General Law that waives the dog registration fee for our residents 70 years of age and over, so if you are in that age group, we are going to need proof of age at the time of registration.

  • 12/9 12:35am   Hello, fellow Norfolkians. I was expecting a package last Friday and according to FedEx it was delivered to my front door (except it wasn't). The sender shipped with no-signature required. Anyway, it was a nice 35 day chiming wall clock valued at around $70. I don't suspect someone took it from my front porch because my Wife and I were home all day and the dog never barked. Anyway, I figure it was delivered to the wrong address. If you happen to know someone that received a nice clock that they didn't order (or pay for ;)), I would appreciate the courtesy of them contacting FedEx or me. I am sure it's a simple mistake. I know it's not as easy leaving out a wrongly delivered parcel from the USPS, but it would be much appreciated.
    We live on North Street. I did open a claim with FedEx, but who knows how that will turn out.
    Thank you!

    Santa Claus will roll into Norfolk on Sunday, December 7th and a host of groups will turn out to celebrate his arrival with a variety of activities.

The band recently achieved status as the National Champions in the US National Bands Division 3 competition, so come on out to congratulate them on their achievements while getting in the holiday spirit!
    Prior to the parade, Santa stops in at Hillcrest Village to hand out cookies and treats and receive hugs and kisses from the residents. Shhhhh don't tell Mrs. Claus!
    Santa's parade will begin at 3:30 p.m. at the Hillcrest Village on Rockwood Road. Santa's elves, Frosty the Snowman, the Grinch, Norfolk Police and Fire Departments, area Scouts, and others will join Santa along Route 115, through the center of town, turning right onto Liberty Lane and ending at the Norfolk library.
    At 4:00 p.m. residents are invited to visit with Santa in the Meeting Room of the library and have their pictures taken. Santa's elves will be bustling around the room assisting all. This year, Santa is going digital and you can download your photos after the parade. Refreshments will be provided by the Norfolk Recreation Department.
    Children are invited to bring their homemade ornaments to help the adults decorate the town Christmas tree, which will be lit for the first time to mark the beginning of the season.
    The Santa Parade and festivities are sponsored by the Norfolk Lions Club and the Norfolk Recreation Department, with the cooperation of numerous town departments, including our Fire, Police and Highway Departments, the staff of the Norfolk Public Library, and Norfolk Recreation.

  • 11/30 5:31pm   Has anyone noticed a new noise in the town? Tonight a smaller plow was doing our road. It had a extremely loud beeper. This is the first year they have had them. He spent 20 minutes creating a lot of noise at 9pm. No one is around. No one is on the road. No one goes near a working plow in the middle of the night.
    There are broad band devices which use white noise instead and maintain a local warning field instead of waking everyone up in a 2 block radius. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fkFdFP5ffRo
    Please send an email to dpw@virtualnorfolk.org and ask for white noise beepers to be installed.

  • 11/30 5:25pm   You: have very dusty, loud, lonely drumset. It used to wail!, but is now hogging up a nice corner and you've been drying shirts on it. It's worth a mint but really you want it played by some zealous young-blood and will take the equivalent of pizza and a case of beer for it.
    Me: I have earplugs, a prayer that my guy will convert to harmonica, keyboard, humming, or upright bass. I also come with budding young percussionist who came into this world tapping his feet, so I have made room in basement for "Neil Pert jr." Please contact through this website if you are ready to have my cherub crushin' your hi hats, snares, cowbell and bass.

  • 11/23 7:23pm   Two male guinea pigs with cage are looking for a forever home. We are fostering two 1 year old guinea pigs for a friend and are looking for a forever home for these sweet boys, Smudge and Caramel. We are asking a small rehoming fee of $50 as we do not want them to become snake food, and are looking for a good home where they will get lots of love. Guinea pigs require a decent amount of space to run, and so we are including their cage setup. The setup will include the cage, the pan, water bottle, hay rack, and hidey houses. The cage, as is, will require a minimum of 28"x 56" of floor or table space, but if needed, the cage can be reduced to 28" x 42". To see what kind of cage they have you can google guinepigcages.com. By the way, if you have never had a guinea pig, guineapigcages.com is an excellent resource to learn about proper guinea pig care. Please contact me with inquiries at lynn.levinson@gmail.com

  • 11/23 7:19pm   I began voice lessons a few months ago with Elyssa at Ivy Music Academy. I had taken lessons from another voice instructor here in Massachusetts, as well as from a prominent voice instructor in Newport Beach, California, who trained many of the celebrity singers. In spite of all of my previous lessons, I felt that I never was able to excel with my voice. I have always loved singing but always struggled with my singing voice.
    I found Elyssa to be the most enthusiastic instructor I have ever worked with. She is very talented, attentive to detail and loves her job, which I believe is so important. Additionally, she's just a wonderful person!
    I also have to say that everyone else at the academy is terrific. It's a very warm, welcoming and friendly place to study.
    I look forward to my lessons so much, that, rather than going only once a week, like I started, I now go 3 times a week at my request. I just love Elyssa and Ivy Music Academy.''

  • 11/23 6:59pm   The Un-Common Theatre Company's Young Performers Production is excited to offer auditions for students in grades 1 through 6 for Disney's Alice in Wonderland, JR. on Sunday, December 14, 2014, from 10 am to 1:30 pm. Directed by Mount Saint Charles High School Senior Sean Leehan, Choreographed by Franklin High School Junior Kalen Hughes and Music Directed by Professional Vocal Instructor Linda Barbieri, this show will feature a cast of 1st through 6th graders and will be performed at the Qualters Middle School in Mansfield, MA, March 13-15, 2015.
    Lewis Carroll's famous inquisitive heroine comes to life in Disney's Alice in Wonderland JR., a delightful adaptation of the classic Disney film. Join Alice as she chases the White Rabbit, races the Dodo Bird, gets tied up with Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum, raps with a bubble-blowing Caterpillar, and beats the Queen of Hearts at her own game! The story is narrated by not one, but three Cheshire Cats! You'll also meet dozens of other wonderfully wacky characters including rock lobsters, talking fish, royal cardsmen, unbirthday partiers, as well as a group of mean-girl flowers.
    Disney's Alice in Wonderland JR. is a fast-paced stage adaptation of the timeless film, featuring such classic Disney songs as "I'm Late," "The Un- birthday Song" and "Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah." The whole family will enjoy travelling down the rabbit hole and joining Alice in her madcap adventures in Wonderland!
    Auditions will be held at the Orpheum Theatre in Foxboro, MA for students in grades 1 through 6 on Sunday, December 14th, from 10:00 am to 1:30 pm BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.

  • 11/16 10:28pm   Norfolk Lions Club is in full swing with their annual Christmas Tree Sale!! This month long event is one of the Lions Club's most important fundraisers and a great opportunity for the Lions to connect with so many members of the community during the holiday period. Sales begin the day after Thanksgiving, on November 28, and continue until all trees are gone. We hope to see you down at the lot early for best selection.
    As has been its tradition in the past six years, the Norfolk Lions Christmas Tree Sale is located on the lot next to the Dunkin Donuts on Main Street in downtown Norfolk. We thank the owners of our local Dunkin Donuts for their continued support of the Norfolk Lions.
    Selling hours are weekdays from 3:00 PM to 9:00 PM and weekends from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM. The Lions will be happy to trim the bottom of your tree, wrap it and secure it to your car, although pickup trucks are very much appreciated. We accept cash and checks to the Norfolk Lions Club; sorry no credit cards.
    Did you know that it takes 10 to 12 years of growing time and professional care to bring a Christmas tree to harvest? Our trees come from northern Maine and they are fresh and beautiful! We have both Balsam and Frazier Fir trees, as well as wreaths. We also have tree bags and tree life preservative to promote needle retention and help keep your tree fresh.
    All of the proceeds from the sales of the trees go right back into the local Norfolk community and to various Lions charities. "Monies that the Lions generate go to seed such research as blindness prevention, diabetes prevention and numerous other causes", says Ed Melanson, this year's President and King Lion. "Norfolk Lions has donated over $250,000 in it's over 50 years of service to the community".
    This year we will have a collection bin at the tree lot for Coats 4 Kids. We will be collecting coats for men, women and children to be given to families in need in our community. Any and all coats in good condition are needed and all will be dry-cleaned courtesy of Anton's Cleaners.
    We will also be collecting non-perishable food donations for the benefit of the Norfolk Food Pantry. Like many of us, the food pantry has been hit hard during these economic times and we would like to help out. Bill Hawkins, co-chairman of the Christmas Tree Sale, further comments, "Your contributions to the Norfolk Food Pantry would be appreciated and could not come at a better time of year."
    Again this year, the Boy Scouts of Norfolk will be offering a tree pick up service after the holidays. For $10, the Scouts will pick up a tree at any house in Norfolk and bring it to the transfer station for recycling. You can register for this service at the lot when you buy your tree.
    The Norfolk Lions Club currently has 82 men and women members and is growing! We meet on the fourth Tuesday of the month at 7:00 PM at the Novatos Bar and Grill at 218 Dedham St (Rt. 1A) in Norfolk, MA. For more information or to get involved with the Norfolk Lions Club, please visit www.NorfolkMALions.org, or send email to norfolk lionsmembership@gmail.com or talk to any Lions member you may know.

  • 11/16 10:11pm   KP - ask DESE, MCAS is only mandatory to graduate not to take every year. And just like the SATs there is no studying for it just practice and if the teachers have done a decent job at teaching reading, writing, math and science then any student should be able to walk in and take the test and pass. It is not authentic and again, just like the SATs, (which is why many of the top colleges don't put much credit to them) any student who can sit for three hours straight with a decent enough education should be able to pass without 7 years of taking it! And students can take it several times in high school as needed. I've also been told even students on IEPs rarely fail after the second or third try. It's not authentic, it's not cumulative and the stress and anxiety of these poor kids is palpable in the schools during MCAS time. Btw, I don't work in Norfolk and telling the teachers and the Superintendent about your dismay is preaching to the choir. It starts at the top.

  • 11/11 12:08pm   We are looking to re-home our two beautiful Goldendoodles. These two dogs are litter-mates, (brother and sister) and were born in August, 2013. They are lively, loving, and full of energy. We are asking that these siblings be taken AS A PAIR. We are not willing to separate them, as they are very bonded to each other. They have been raised in a family with 2 young children (4 and 6), as well as guinea pigs. These two dogs require attention, love, and exercise. A fully fenced (conventional or electric) is highly recommended, as they love to explore. Both dogs have been fully vetted, and are spayed, neutered, and microchipped.

  • 11/11 12:04pm   11/02 7:20pm Hello. I sure would appreciate the thoughts of you construction experts out there. I want to install 2 new storm doors on a modular home I own in Barrington, New Hampshire. The house is in excellent condition as are the door frames. I have been researching Home Depot and Lowe's products, went out to view them, but when I read about them online, I can't get a good sense of which to buy. There are a lot of negative posts out there regarding Anderson storm doors (even the 400 series that I am considering) and the "Tradewinds" name by Larson. I am trying to find 1 full view and 1 highview with built in screen and I don't want to have to replace them in 2 or 3 years. My budget is mid $200's per door plus installation. Can you experts share your opinions, please? Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.

    You requested feedback from construction experts so I thought I would reply to your post regarding storm doors (Complete Builders, LLC of Norfolk: Your Professional MA Residential Builders & Design Specialists www.CBuildllc.com
    I am not familiar with the Tradewinds/Larson brand you mentioned so I will direct the info to the Anderson/EMCO series that HD offers.
    Probably the number one feature to look for as you are making choices/comparisons is whether or not the storm door has a wood core. This is common in the EMCO series found at Home Depot (which is actually an Anderson brand). The downside to the wood core is that if moisture penetrates that wood core it will affect the lifespan of the door (thus counterproductive to your comment that you want it to last longer than a few years).
    Although these doors are within the price range you mentioned it is best to find out if the 400 series that you are considering has that wood core; you may be spending it all again within a few short years. The Anderson 2000 series and 2500 series offer full view and also a foldaway screen option for about $250. Home Depot charges $127 for install. This includes the $30 to come out and measure and see if your door opening needs any other work done to accommodate the storm door; such as a repairs to existing door jam or a "build out". Those types of things would add cost to the install but are evaluated and priced out beforehand. If you should decide after the measuring that it just doesn't work for you, my understanding is that HD will only charge the $30 for the time their installer spent coming out to measure and evaluate. Not sure if you are an avid DIY'er but storm doors tend to be a very challenging install; "some assembly required" is an understatement and the $127 install fee is worth every penny. I hope you find this info helpful in making your storm door selection for your NH home.

  • 11/11 12:03pm   AMG... Both Andersen and Larson are good choices. When a vendor sells lots and lots of storm doors, they will generate some negative press as there will always be those who can never be happy. Try to look at the positive press too. Choices are somewhat limited and I have installed a lot of both doors over the years. Andersen will immediately back up their door if there is a problem plus they have a great installation guidance phone line as well. Hope this helps.

  • 11/10 11:32pm   JW - I would be careful with your words. MCAS is a mandatory exam for all students. PARCC is not, yet. I surely hope that your child's Principal, and probably my child's too, didn't tell you that you can opt out of MCAS too.
    That said, you are 100% right that they teach to the exam. It is totally wrong that the standard daily learning activities are altered for this prior to the exam period. I bet the Principal didn't admit to that though. All it does is get the kids worked up about a test that they should be able to pass regardless. Parent/teacher conferences are this week in Norfolk. Every parent should tell their child's teacher that they oppose the 'cram session' before the upcoming exams. If enough parents voice a concern it might make the Superintendent realize that something is wrong; or at least make her comment on it.

  • 11/02 7:20pm   Hello. I sure would appreciate the thoughts of you construction experts out there. I want to install 2 new storm doors on a modular home I own in Barrington, New Hampshire. The house is in excellent condition as are the door frames. I have been researching Home Depot and Lowe's products, went out to view them, but when I read about them online, I can't get a good sense of which to buy. There are a lot of negative posts out there regarding Anderson storm doors (even the 400 series that I am considering) and the "Tradewinds" name by Larson. I am trying to find 1 full view and 1 highview with built in screen and I don't want to have to replace them in 2 or 3 years. My budget is mid $200's per door plus installation. Can you experts share your opinions, please? Your thoughts would be very much appreciated.

  • 11/02 5:11pm   PJT: I am a special educator in a local district and agree with you about PARCC/MCAS, etc. When my children get older, I will be pulling them from school during those hours of test days and taking them to a museum or some other educational activity. I did not realize parents had a CHOICE to opt their kids out until I asked my principal (which he said do not tell people, lol). I do not directly teach students regarding these tests so I have no "dog in the race." However, I see the teachers take two months before the test and just drill the students on reading MCAS style passages that have nothing to do with the curriculum and writing boring open responses; and special education students placed in extra special classes to continue practicing the same drills and just making those kids "love" reading, math and writing even more. Teachers are told over and over again "differentiate", "have the kids move - don't let them sit for more than 20 minutes", and "do group work and multi-modality assignments to engage all different learners". Then the state says ok, sit the kids down ALL DAY - if needed, do not practice active engagement, do not talk, sit, read, write and that is how we will assess if you learn. This is not authentic. It is a test of endurance/attention. I feel the worst for the students in special education who get ALL their worked modified during the school year, scaffolded, chunked, etc. and then BAM- here now take a test at your grade level and we will see how you do and then their parents are worried when their child does not receive a Proficient score!?! They are being assessed at a reading level sometimes 2 or 3 grade levels above them! Yes, we should assess, but the designs of these tests are laughable to say they truly measure an indiv. child's growth. And any administrator who says "We do not teach to the test" - well I say ask your kids what they do in school starting in January.

  • 10/19 11:59pm   *The Bridgewater Triangle* Screening at Norfolk Public Library
    Aaron Cadieux and Manny Famolare, co-directors of *The Bridgewater Triangle*, will screen their film at the Norfolk Public Library on Wednesday, Oct. 22 nd at 7:00 p.m. The 90-minute documentary will be followed by a question-and-answer session with the co-directors, and is free and open to the public.
    The Bridgewater Triangle documentary was a movie decades in the making. Each of the film's co-directors grew up near one of the triangle's most infamous locations. As a resident of East Bridgewater, Famolare had heard bizarre stories of cryptic animal sightings in the nearby Hockomock Swamp. Meanwhile, as a resident of North Dartmouth, Cadieux was well aware of the neighboring Freetown-Fall River State Forest's sinister reputation. Famolare and Cadieux each came to know the concept of the Bridgewater Triangle through reading publications from leading researchers.
    The Bridgewater Triangle sits within the Southeastern portion of Massachusetts, and includes a number of locations known for unexplained occurrences, the most prominent of which include the legendary Hockomock Swamp and the infamous Freetown/Fall River State Forest. The Triangle's traditional borders are revealed by connecting the dots between the town of Abington to the north, the town of Freetown to the southeast, and the town of Rehoboth to the southwest. The region hosts an unusually high volume of reports involving strange occurrences, unexplained mysteries and sinister activities. From ghostly hauntings and cryptic animal sightings, to UFO encounters and evidence of satanic ritual sacrifice, the Bridgewater Triangle serves as one of the world's most diverse hotspots for paranormal activity.
    In 2010, after years of researching many odd occurrences in the Bridgewater Triangle, Famolare, a passionate photographer and videographer, decided to begin the process of making his own documentary on the subject. Through the internet, Famolare and Cadieux stumbled across each other's plans, and eventually agreed to join forces and produce a single comprehensive piece. By 2011, production on *The Bridgewater Triangle *was well underway. After almost three years of filming, scriptwriting and researching, the documentary debuted on October 20, 2013 to a sell-out crowd of more than 750 people at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth. It presents the reports of strange occurrences and unexplained mysteries from the region in a way which allows viewers to make their own determinations regarding the legitimacy of the Bridgewater Triangle's existence.
    The film features a number of local residents providing first-hand, eyewitness accounts of unexplained occurrences in the region. In addition, paranormal researchers, folklorists and authors provide expert analysis regarding the many mysteries of the Triangle. Loren Coleman, the author and world-renowned cryptozoologist dubbed the 200-square-mile region in southeastern Massachusetts, "The Bridgewater Triangle" in his 1983 work, Mysterious America.
    Since its debut a year ago, *The Bridgewater Triangle* has been screened at Bridgewater State University as well as several area libraries, and has an upcoming screening at Cinema Salem. Famolare and Cadieux have been interviewed on WCVB's Chronicle as well as WJAR in Providence. *The Bridgewater Triangle* will air on the cable channel, Destination America in November.

  • 10/19 11:46pm   Tickets Now On Sale for Un-Common's Fall Production of "Seussical"
    Tickets are now available for The Un-Common Theatre Company's Fall Production of "Seussical" being presented at the Orpheum Theatre, Foxboro on November 21-23, 2014! Tickets may be purchased by calling (800) 838-3006 or online at www.brownpapertickets.com/event/878351. Join us as we bring together kids ages 7 through 17 together on stage for a truly family-oriented theatrical experience for all ages. "Seussical" brings to life many of your favorite Dr. Seuss characters.
    Narrated by the Cat in the Hat (Izzy Johnson, Canton, MA), the story tells the tale of Horton (Joe Spirito, North Smithfield, RI), an elephant who discovers a speck of dust containing Whos, including Jojo (Jackson Flaherty, Mansfield, MA), a Who child sent off to military school for thinking too many "thinks." Horton faces a double challenge - not only must he protect the Whos from a world of naysayers and dangers, but he must guard an abandoned egg, left to his care by the irresponsible Mayzie La Bird (Olivia Fonseca, Taunton, MA). Although Horton faces ridicule, danger, kidnapping, and a trial, the intrepid Gertrude McFuzz (Camryn MacIver, North Attleboro, MA) never loses faith in him. Ultimately, the powers of friendship,loyalty, family, and community are challenged and emerge triumphant.
    The talented cast of 45 is guided by Director and Choreographer Michael Hammond (Holbrook, MA), Music Director Paula Bishop (Foxboro, MA) and Assistant Choreographer Cailin Dyke (Mansfield, MA).

  • 10/5 1:22pm   Hello NorfolkNet! As a new resident to this lovely town, I would like to take a moment of your time and introduce myself and my business. My name is Stephanie, and I am the owner of Off the Wall Creative Design. I specialize in large scale paintings, custom murals and faux finshes for your home or office. I transform ordinary spaces into something totally unique.
    Maybe the basement calls for that ``man-cave'' you've always wanted. Or maybe your son or daughter would feel more at home in a room specially designed for them, their favorite sport team or princess on the wall. Perhaps you are expecting, or recent parents, who could use a cute theme in the nursery... all of these things we can help you achieve!
    If you are interested in discussing a potential project, or would like to talk more about what it is that I do, I would be happy to meet with you. Also, you can visit my website (listed below) to see my portfolio, and get a better idea of the breadth of work I am capable of doing.
    Thanks again!

  • 10/3 2:37pm   DP - I was wondering the same thing. I heard them in the middle of the night and was surprised at the frequency; I swear there was one going by every 5 minutes, and I live very close the street. In terms of speeding, I am not surprised at all.
    Along the same subject, a week ago Sunday I took my two daughters to the new playground and during the trip I had three separate vehicles blow by me while in the cross-walk with a double stroller! One was a kid in a jeep (at the playground heading in to town), the second was at the same location and was an elderly woman. She didn't even see me which is scary. At least the kid in the Jeep made eye-contact. The last was in front of the gas station; I was literally half-way across when an older guy and his wife went flying out of the rotary Down Main Street on a Harley. Frankly I am perplexed that the police aren't permanently situated somewhere near the new playground. I am afraid it is only a matter of time before something happens. I think the town should have put a blinking yellow light at that intersection when they built the playground.
