Tim, my sympathies in this sad time.
Leanne was a wonderful woman, and we'll all miss her.
You will miss her most, I know. It will be hard, but your friends are here for you.
Her poetry, her spirit, her voice and her harp will resound through these hills forever.
Will was the sweetest and wisest man I've met in years. We were blessed to have him in our group at the Burlington Writers' Workshop, which I've attended for the last year or two. He is missed by all.
Rest easy, friend. Mimsy were the borogoves.
Jim, that skateboard park needs some oversight! That is ridiculous - and you noticed before the police?
Where are the police? Checking on what? Maybe if they talk (friendly talk) to the skaters they can reason with them AND ALSO see if anyone knows about the new graffiti craze in town.
Is this news to the Police?
Do they know there IS a skateboard park???
Many dislikes - people sure like those F-35s - I wonder if they too are in the flight zone? If not, how can you judge what people should put up with?
No one will bomb us, the planes don't Work yet, and they are astoundingly expensive. Let's use the money for protecting the citizens. Do I think there'll be a war for which we need these things?
No, sorry.
There may be inherent evil on both sides - anarchy vs. total oversight. I don't think we need to be extreme - somewhere in-between. I don't think this decree is as dangerous as the Virus. I don't believe anyone will be imprisoned over this - they're simply warned, in effect, and that in itself isn't evil. I hope no one is even fined.
No witches, no witch-hunt.
EAO - why be agist? You say that all people a certain age (an 18-year span in the case of "boomers") have a certain attitude?
Do You want to be responsible for the behavior of everyone your age? I'm guessing not. So cut it out.
When you get older, you'll see everyone is a person - they don't represent a group.
Kids nowadays...(see?)
Re: “Obituary: Anthony Lovell Redington, 1939-2022”
Tony was a wonderful, wise, knowledgeable man, and I'm proud to have worked with him over the last decade. He was one of the most valuable consultants and advisors Vermont had. I don't know if anyone can take his place. He will be greatly missed, and I'm glad he could raise awareness and accomplish so many things. The city owes him a debt of gratitude - and so do we all. He spoke for all of us, for our safety and for the sake of Vermont.
I always referred the City and the Council to Tony for an expert detailed report on traffic, roads, bike and pedestrian routes, best practices, and what had been done elsewhere in the world relative to our own situation. He brought Roundabouts to Vermont.
He was working on a better design for the project known as the "Southern Connector," a plan formed fifty years ago for a situation which no longer exists. It ran into trouble for many valid reasons, and after all these years, he was still trying to bring a rational, economically sound approach to this problematic route. Every one of his positions was well-reasoned, and each of his initiatives should be implemented and resolved as he advised. We will continue fighting for his redesign, and we will always ask ourselves, "What would Tony say?"
He was a master of his field, an excellent teacher, and had served Vermont for decades. He was not a proud man, and needs no statue, but any of his projects that reach fruition should be named after him. He cared about us all.
May he rest in peace, and never be forgotten.
