All ages

Cicadas are not the only insects making noise, but they are the loudest. Learn why and how cicadas, crickets and grasshoppers make noise,  then some noise of your own! Go into the evening woods to listen and look for members of the insect chorus. Reservations required by July 23.

Eh. The responsive design is ok on mobile devices, but it feels really weak on a website. The…Read More "local" photos at the top are low res. It could be tailored a little more like another user said, he missed the little touches like the local weather. An RSS feed of local AP news wouldn't hurt despite the focus of local-only content.

Mr. Farrell, methinks thou protest too much. What ridicule and derision? It seems that you are…Read More fanning the flames and rooting out some sort of scandal that, from my view, doesn't exist. As I understand it, there is a by-law provision that allows a homeowner to ask to be included in the RA. This wasn't something made up to accommodate one person. It was adopted for any single homeowner or cluster to opt in. There is no slippery slope. The rule is not being changed or adjusted for one person. The rule or by-law was in place prior to any of this hand wringing. Next, Ms. Rostant and all the other RA Board members are serving on a volunteer basis. Do any of you critics see some sort of gain to be had in this case? I find the witch hunt nature of some regarding this matter to be dubious if not mean spirited. Its easy to sit back in your easy chair and type away on your computer and deliver your edicts to resign. Get the facts. The lack of civility in some of these posts is repulsive.
