For someone who likes to talk a lot, I guess I'm just not a natural blogger.

Life in Rollinsford is going smoothly right now. Life at our many different departments is going rather well too. They are ,without a doubt, a direct function of the great departments heads and staff we have here in town who work with very limited resources under a tight budget everyday. 

This last week I had a chance to stop by the site of the old Cumberland Farms on Rt. 4 and get a chance to see our awesome FD get some rare in-town practice. Due to the undergoing renovations of Cumberland Farms, the company was generous enough to allow our FD to use the building for training. From what I saw, not only was it a very helpful experience for our volunteers - it looked pretty fun as well. Thank you CF's and thanks to our volunteers at RFD and Chief Spinney, as well as the assistance from South Berwick FD. 

I think that in order to make this blog a little more interesting, and to allow you into my head a little, I will post some links to some of the sources I use to help me with making the right decisions on the Board here in town; they also add a little more depth to the macro world we live in. I enjoy economics very, very much. So, here is a new study that explains some the pros and cons on education reform. I am not, and never will be, on the school board, but I do find many aspects of the education system fascinating. Enjoy.
