Coyote attacks
I did not realize that bridge was out. I have not been down there for years. Coyotes are at their bravest after dark, which most people would not be out and about walking out there regardless of a bridge. I would be wiling to bet they have dens in there that and red and grey fox all of which will go after cats

I wonder if the refusal of the state bureaucracy to support the rebuilding of the bridge at the end of North St. has reduced human traffic in that area and made it a more appealing habitat for the coyotes.

2012 Town Election
Papers have been available for about a week, but I haven't seen anyone out getting signatures yet.
Still a bit too early to get into it?

The hardest part with hunting that spot is all the people and pet traffic. Sure as hell you will call in someones dog. If you could get a coordinate effort from people to stay out of there on Saturday until mid to late am , I would be glad to set up my calls etc and hunt.

Actually the land is very huntable, as it is a wildlife management area. If you would like to go down there this weekend perhaps, I have the appropriate coyote solution. Wiggling rabbit, electronic call, license and weapon. I think first, I may set up the Trail Cam and see if I can better idea of whats going on down there. Yes, feeding the animals is not so smart, although to each their own.

In a different section of the land we've found empty pet food cans under bushes by the river. Someone is feeding the wildlife down there. Not a good idea.

Free Crafting and sewing stuff
Hello Seamstresses and craft people. My better half has an amazing array of sewing and crafting materials that have just passed their expiration date on the porch. They were allegedly due to go to JoAnnes Fabrics and Crafts (donated to the employees there, my honey used to work there) but never seemed to quite make it. So i am offering anyone a chance to take some or all of it before it gets 'donated' to the landfill. It must be good stuff, because she wouldnt let me throw it out for two months. Poppa says 'nuff. If you live in Montague center and would like to take a look at it and/or believe you have a home for such items, please call me at 413-658-7579. Thank you. Also, a piano in good shape needs some tuning. OR email me at lennykahle@gmail.com

Coyote attacks
Please be careful in the wildlife management area also known as 'the fields' , east of the cemetery next to Raus, west of 63, north of the sawmill river at the end of North st.There is a coyote population that hunts here, probably where the deer run between Greenfield road and Turners Falls Rd south of Swamp road. These predators are viscous creatures, and in the depths of winter particularly more so. If you have cats or small dogs keep them close to or in the house at night. Many an adventuresome hunt or hike I have found just the collars and tags of pet cats and dogs that were not so lucky. This post is not meant as a scare tactic, I only seek to raise awareness of the possibility of a realistic danger. If you walk the fields at night, carry a flashlight and perhaps a whistle. More often than not, the coyote will flee from human presence, although they are predators and should be appreciated as such. Thank you for your time and consideration. Be safe.

Missing my Baby (kitty)
Hello kind neighbors. My Kitty Cat, a silver and white tiger striped tabby answers to HUNTER has been missing for two days now. I live at 26 main three houses west of the Grange. My phone is 413-658-7579, or you may reach Jacqueline at 413-658-4855. Hunter is about two years old, a male, grey/silver and white with a little notch out of one ear. He comes from a loving home where he is well cared for; HE IS NOT ABANDONED. Cats roam, and I usually see him within the triangle of Main st, Newton lane, and School st. there is a snapshot of the area here
https://www.facebook...83.1788950517&type=1
Please help bring Hunter home.

Let’s Do The Right Thing
Jeff had one private conversation with me about the discharge of the employee, in which he basically agreed that it was a case of much ado about nothing.
Since then he has asked me for no additional information and sought no information from the Superintendent (who is the only person on the district side who has the information to give).
It's impossible for me to take seriously his claim that he is only concerned for the rights of district employees when he has shredded the rights of the superintendent- repeatedly in two open meetings, despite being instructed by the chair of the meeting to cease and desist and despite being instructed in no uncertain terms by the district's legal council that his actions are not just inappropriate but illegal (check the tape)- all in the name of protecting us from "how an employee MAY have been treated".
And yet, somehow, Jeff HAD to post all this on MontagueMa.net because of something I
did. I forced him to do it!
Amazing the power I have!

Obama and Blonde Politicians on the Tarmac
Some people on this corkboard might find this Maureen Dowd column amusing. I am not a huge fan of Dowd but sometimes she is off the charts funny, in a weird sort of way...
"WHAT is it with Barack Obama’s penchant for getting in tangles with blond politicians on airport tarmacs?.....":
http://www.nytimes.c...the-tarmac.html?_r=1
I hope this does not ignite more Obama versus Bush stuff unless someone has something dramatically new to say in that area,

Let’s Do The Right Thing
Jeff, it wasn't clear from what you or Mike had written that private conversations had taken place, or otherwise I would not have posted what I did. I can see that you do feel strongly and I'm sure it's for all the right reasons, ie: concern that the district act fairly and compassionately in all instances. I could say that I share those concerns, not only vis a vis the school district, but all levels of government that supposedly act in my name. Unfortunately, my take on things is that the political process, be it local, national, or international, rarely places fairness and compassion at the top of the list of concerns. Usually self-interest or special interests or political gamesmanship or power grabbing or greed or personality disorders rule the roost. This is why I no longer have any faith that the political process will seriously address any of our problems and foster solutions. Positive change, when it comes, always seems to rise up from the people, from churches, from protest movements, from the street, from community organizing or union organizing or populist movements. When the ground swell gets large enough, the politicians and bureaucrats scramble to get on board and things change. Oh. Maybe that's what you're attempting to do here, with your letter and post. Good luck. Really.

Let’s Do The Right Thing
The issue for me here is the treatment of an employee in this economy and how we as school district treat employees in general.. It is not about a personal conflict between me and the chair of the school committee, whom I have in fact spoken to about this and related topics in private. That was actually the first thing I did!!! I also called for an executive session for the school committee to deal with this in private. That was rejected
.As you can tell I feel pretty strongly about what is going on re our employment policies and how a human being may have been treated. Steve Roberto happens to be a human being by the way. I simply asked a series of questions that have still gone unanswered
If people who post on this corkboard do not share my concerns, well it is what it is. I have had my say. The school district - a $16 million dollar organization that educates many of our children-is another matter.
By the way, these opinions are obviously mine alone and not those of the school committee.
