The details of the budget proposal are still being finalized. Tesei will make his formal presentation to the Board of Estimate and Taxation at 6 p.m. Thursday, followed by a presentation of the school budget and a public hearing. |
The BET’s Budget Committee will then begin weeks of hearings, starting on Feb. 4, on the proposed budget. Committee Chair Leslie Moriarty said all capital and operational budgets will be discussed as each department went in for a hearing. |
“The town needs to invest in its infrastructure and schools so that we have well-maintained buildings and services that meet our residents’ needs,” Moriarty said. “The Budget Committee will be evaluating both the budget year and forecast years for the scope and timing of all projects.” It will examine the town’s abilit... |
Moriarty added the committee will want an update on approved but not completed projects and will discuss the items in Tesei’s budget along with the Board of Education master plan. |
The budget for the current fiscal year totals $40.7 million in capital spending for the town and the schools. Initially, the proposed capital spending for 2019-20 was higher, but the Board of Education deferred funding for a new field at Central Middle School and remediation at Western Middle School. |
Tesei said he understands the concerns. The town’s operating budget will basically reflect only contractually mandated salary increases and continued full town funding of fixed costs such as post-employment benefits, said Tesei, who said he is committed to managing costs. |
And if there is opposition to his budget plan, Tesei said there will be a mechanism for it. |
He urged town officials to focus on the town’s needs. |
“It seems we’ve gotten to a point where people do not remember how to have a discourse and a differing opinion without negativity,” said Tesei, defending his budget plans. |
“I think these are amenities these people have really come to enjoy. They’re an integral part the communities and neighborhoods and I think we’ve been very fortunate over time to have them continue,” he said. |
The facilities at the civic center and the rink are no longer adequate, Tesei said. The funds in the 2019-20 budget would not be for actual construction but for preparations. And replacing these amenities, as well as other projects like improvements to Roger Sherman Baldwin Park, would be a long-term investment that wo... |
Within the next month or so, Tesei intends to formalize a portfolio of town capital projects to attract new residents and enhance the quality of life. His ultimate goal is to look for corporate sponsorships. |
There’s nothing as absurd as a concert without music. But that’s what the NY Times has offered in its hit piece on Jordan Peterson. Author Nellie Bowles describes details of his life and snippets of his statements but never enough to let him make a coherent point. |
The “radical left” wants to eliminate hierarchies, which he says are the natural order of the world. In his book he illustrates this idea with the social behavior of lobsters. He chose lobsters because they have hierarchies and are a very ancient species, and are also invertebrates with serotonin. This lobster hierarch... |
The bit about the lobsters is brought up and then never explained. Bowles raises the point as a kind of absurdity: Just imagine “lobster hierarchies” on T-shirts! But she never tells us what the idea was. What did Peterson say about this? What lesson did he draw from it? Why have his fans embraced it? |
The answer is that Peterson is making the point that the correlation between serotonin levels and a sense of accomplishment (or failure) is a very ancient part of our biochemistry. The point he makes from this is that part of making it even in the modern world is standing up straight and putting your shoulders back in ... |
If you know anything about Peterson, you know that his first book, Maps of Meaning, was about archetypes and the ideas of Carl Jung. So there is an answer to Bowles question: Why we should listen to these old stories? In fact, its something Peterson could probably discuss for several hours. But here Bowles forgets to m... |
Snippets of dialogue, descriptions of pacing, pleading and crying. Followed by the adulation of the unhinged crowds. All that’s missing from this description is…everything. This is a description of a rock concert written by someone who hates rock music. The entire experience becomes inexplicable and weird once you remo... |
Staff Sgt. Alex Conrad was killed June 8 in Somalia. A funeral service is being held 10 a.m. Saturday at St. San Juan Diego Catholic Church. |
A funeral Mass is being held Saturday to honor a Chandler soldier who died in Somalia three weeks ago. |
Staff Sgt. Alexander "Alex" Conrad, 26, was killed June 8 during an attack by al-Shabaab, a militant Islamic group. |
The service for Conrad is 10 a.m. Saturday at St. San Juan Diego Catholic Church, 3200 S. Cooper Road in Chandler, the Arizona Army National Guard said Thursday. The public is welcome to attend. |
Conrad survived two deployments in Afghanistan and served as a noncommissioned human intelligence officer in the 3rd Special Forces Group out of Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He was on a mission about 220 miles southwest of Mogadishu when he died. |
Conrad was a decorated soldier and posthumously received a Purple Heart and a Meritorious Service Medal. President Donald Trump recognized him on social media and Gov. Doug Ducey called for the lowering of Arizona flags in his honor. |
My thoughts and prayers are with the families of our serviceman who was killed and his fellow servicemen who were wounded in Somalia. They are truly all HEROES. |
Conrad will be buried in Arlington National Cemetery at a date to be determined. |
James Clapper: It looks to me like Putin is handling Trump as "an asset" |
What a worm. He’s making a pedestrian point here, that Putin’s training as an intelligence officer prepared him to read people well in order to obtain their cooperation. Trump gave him intelligence that helped thwart a terror attack in Russia; he’s seemingly okayed Assad staying on as president of Syria; he has yet to ... |
There are a million ways to say “Putin really knows how to charm Trump” or “The KGB taught Putin to be wily in negotiating with adversaries.” But Clapper went for “asset,” a word obviously chosen deliberately to put the most sinister spin on Trump’s Russophilia. Putin’s the head spy, the president of the United States ... |
Jesse Watters has been eating mountains of crap the last few days, deservedly, for suggesting that Mueller’s investigation is a coup. Watters wasn’t speaking “figuratively” as Clapper belatedly claims to here but the point of the provocative language in both cases is the same, to completely delegitimize the target as a... |
November was Adoption Awareness Month, but this problem does not begin on Nov. 1, and it does not end Nov. 30. |
Charmaine Kromer is the executive director for Youth Villages Tennessee. |
That’s how many days 17-year-old Bryan recently spent in the child welfare system. |
Imagine seeing eight birthdays go by or completing nearly seven years of school with sporadic encouragement along the way from people who may care but aren’t your biological family. That’s basically a lifetime this young man has lived without the stable foundation many of us are so used to having in our lives. |
The good news is Bryan was just officially adopted. |
While that’s a silver lining, the reality of this situation is that he shouldn’t have had to wait nearly a decade for a forever family. This isn’t ideal and quite frankly, it isn’t acceptable. |
The personal trauma a child endures when they have to wait to feel secure and loved is long-lasting, as are the effects on the community and society when this happens. The consequences of children growing up outside a forever home include but are not limited to unemployment, substance use and homelessness after they tu... |
Bryan’s story is an extreme case, given the years he spent waiting to be adopted. But so many youths are still out there waiting, maybe days, weeks, months and, yes, some do wait years. |
November was Adoption Awareness Month, but this problem does not begin on Nov. 1, and it does not end Nov. 30. This isn’t a month-long awareness campaign. It is every single day. And it will take everyday people, not just child welfare workers and state officials, to improve the state and national numbers. |
As a state, Tennessee has made significant strides in improving its child welfare system. So much so, in fact, that states across the country are taking note. |
However, there is still much work to be done to ensure every child in foster care has a stable, loving home and adoptive families. It takes all of us – learning, listening and helping make it a daily topic around more dinner tables and water coolers – to continue to support children like Bryan, who deserve a chance to ... |

General Star is a wholly-owned subsidiary of General Reinsurance Corp., a member of the Berkshire Hathaway family of companies. |
Illingworth St Mary’s look set to become one of the widest-margin winners in the Halifax AFL’s recent history. |
The side based at Trinity Academy have a 17-point lead over second-placed Northowram, who have finished their fixtures, after a 6-0 win away to Midgley United on Saturday. |
Gareth Gaukroger scored a hat-trick for Saints, Michael Gregory got two and Ben Field the other. |
In recent years, Hebden Royd Red Star won the title by 17 points from Elland United in 2010/11 and Stainland United by 14 from Red Star in 2006/07. |
Saints finish their Premier Division programme away to Ryburn, who can still take second place, on Saturday. |
Ryburn were 5-0 home winners against Calder ‘76 at the weekend. |
The visitors were returning to the scene of their title-clinching win 12 months earlier but this time they blew their hopes of finishing runners-up. |
Nathan Hargreaves, Joe Swallow, Owen Wilkinson, Will Hirst and an own goal accounted for Ryburn’s tally and the scale of the defeat meant Rob Kenworthy’s visitors slipped to third, below Northowram on goal difference. |
Chris Garbutt confirmed he was staying on as player-manager of Hebden Royd Red Star, who have finished seventh in the Premier after a 2-0 home win over next-to-bottom Shelf United. |
Both goals came in the first half when players went through one-on-one with the Shelf ‘keeper. |
Tom Barclay applied a lobbed finish for the opener after about 20 minutes and Garbutt slotted the second 10 minutes later. |
The Division Two programme was completed by two matches and they both resulted in home wins. |
Junction Inn shook off the disappointment of narrowly missing promotion with a 4-2 home win over Sowerby bridge Reserves. |
Their goals came from Jamie Rice, Matthew Spink, Aaron Barkham and Kris Gorringe. Adam Fenton and Peter Howard replied for Bridge. |
Josh Norcliffe scored a second half hat-trick as Shelf United Reserves consigned Salem Reserves to bottom spot with a 6-2 win at Lightcliffe Academy. |
Louy Kenny and Jay Thomas scored for the visitors. |
Thanks to the efforts of the Danish government, it's the most detailed virtual representation of a real country ever developed using the popular world-building platform. |
From now until October 23, any Minecraft user with an interest in exploring Denmark can access a complete recreation of the entire country -- highways, buildings, houses, and all -- thanks to the efforts of the Danish Geodata Agency. The model, built to 1:1 scale, was developed using detailed geographical information t... |
Certain aspects of the model aren't completely accurate -- for example, the virtual building colors don't always match those of real buildings -- but, as writer Sam Machkovech notes, "this is as close as any country or company has gotten to delivering an online tour of [all of] its land." Such detail is often only poss... |

NBCUniversal is making more episodes available from programs such as 30 Rock and Keeping Up With The Kardashians. But they don’t include shows from the current season — and NBCU can make similar deals with other online distributors. |
NEW YORK and LOS GATOS, Calif., July 13, 2011 — Netflix, Inc. (Nasdaq: NFLX) and NBCUniversal Domestic Television Distribution today announced a multi-year renewal of their licensing agreement expanding the selection of non-exclusive NBCU film and TV library titles available to watch instantly streaming from Netflix. |
It’s might not be an intuitive concept, but the real estate market of the Internet is running out of room. It’s been happening for some time now, so it’s not exactly a surprise but it’s something that has to be addressed, preferably sooner than later. Google, always with an eye on the future, has it covered. |
IPv6 is the replacement for the current version of the Internet Protocol, IPv4, which is quickly running out of addresses. The original IPv6 specification was published more than 15 years ago, but for the entire career of most Internet engineers its deployment has always been in the future. Now it’s finally here. The w... |
For Google, World IPv6 Launch means that virtually all our services, including Search, Gmail, YouTube and many more, will be available to the world over IPv6 permanently. Previously, only participants in the Google over IPv6 program (several hundred thousand users, including almost all Google employees [PDF]) have been... |
Google’s been active in preparing World IPv6 since last year, but IPv4 has been “officially depleted” since they started working with Internet Society. Previously, websites only switched over to IPv6 for a 24-hour dry run, but now the plan is that IPv6 will be here to stay come June. By promoting World IPv6 Launch, Goo... |
Although Google says that most users can expect a seamless transition and likely won’t notice anything different after IPv6 turns on, they do encourage people to check out their connections using Google’s test page just to be on the safe side. |
Every morning, for the last 12 years, Uncle Mah has been sweeping the pavement and clearing the drains along Eunos Avenue 7. |
Stomper Laurence told Stomp about his close relationship with the 85-year-old man on Nov 9. |
Laurence works as a complex manager at Richfield Industrial Centre, which is located along the avenue, and sees Uncle Mah every morning. |
The Stomper believes that Uncle Mah deserves to be recognised for his community-minded acts. |
According to Laurence, Uncle Mah is the owner of a glass factory and is a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner. |
Laurence said: "Uncle Mah is a sprightly old man and I think that more people deserve to know about him. He has been cleaning and sweeping for 12 years without wanting any recognition." |

The marijuana industry is maturing at an exceptionally quick pace. The legalization of recreational cannabis, a previously taboo product, in Canada last year tossed that idea out the window for good. Now the pot industry has a vibrant future, as evidenced by Cowen Group's forecast that global sales could hit $75 b... |
But as investors, we're also acutely aware that not every company can be a winner. Sure, there's a lot of money to be made with the legalization of cannabis in various parts of the world, but not every company is going to have the tools or the timing to take advantage of this growth. |
One such company that's received little respect from Wall Street is British Columbia-based grower Emerald Health Therapeutics (NASDAQOTH: EMHTF). At a market cap of $372 million as of the end of trading on Monday, Feb. 11, it's the lowest-valued grower that's expected to hit at least 100,000 kilograms in... |
Emerald Health's big break came in 2017 when it formed a 50-50 joint venture with Village Farms International (NASDAQOTH: VFFIF), known as Pure Sunfarms. Village Farms already had vegetable-growing greenhouses in place, allowing Emerald Health to partner up in order to retrofit these existing facilities to produce... |
The problem is that Emerald Health has been lagging its peers. While marijuana sales weren't exactly robust prior to the legalization of recreational weed on Oct. 17, Emerald Health's revenue was almost nonexistent. Through the first nine months of fiscal 2018, Emerald Health didn't even hit 1 million Ca... |
To put it mildly, Emerald Health has had a lot of built-in risk, ranging from obtaining licensing to diversifying its product portfolio away from dried cannabis flower, which runs the risk of being commoditized over time. However, it looks as if many of these risks are beginning to abate, with Emerald Health really tur... |
