Historical Tidbit
E. Bridgewater's First Radio Car
In 1934, the E. Bridgewater Police Department acquired its first radio car.
To contact the police officer on patrol, the telephone operator turned on a light in Fred Bates Morse Square (where lights are in the center of town)
If the police officer didn't call immediately, she would phone the Massachusetts State Police barracks in West Bridgewater and they would radio the EB Police Dept car radio.

Taunton River Watershed's Terrapin has arrived!
The Taunton River Watershed is adopting a new Terrapin.
The terrapin was originally rescued from someone who was mistreating her and keeping her illegally as a pet. She was then brought to the Cape Wildlife Center where she was nursed back to health. After that, she was brought to the Bristol Aggie, where she had good care, but had to share a tank with other terrapins. Now she is being brought to the TRWA, where she gets her own tank.

Potholes
During the winter months water can seep into small cracks in the cement then expand when frozen. This can case the cement to further crack and crumble forming potholes.
A pothole can be annoying, plus its not good for the suspension of your vehicle.
You can report any potholes that you notice to MassDOT at 857-368-4636.

Ups and Downs.
I am heartened by the fortitude of the New England farmer. Ingenious, resourceful- farmers "Get 'it done!" any way they can, when the weather changes it up.
"The ultimate goal of farming is not the growing of crops, but the cultivation and perfection of human beings."
~
Masanobu Fukuoka
" Life on a farm is a school of patience; you can't hurry the crops or make an ox in two days." ~
Henri Alain
"Farming is a profession of hope."
~
Brian Brett
Yes, with the snow and the wind and the rain, I think of the work of our farmers and it gives me hope.
Let's see...
How are we going to have healthy bodies? Eat local produce.
How are we going to fight climate change? Source local food.
How are we going to have more money for our schools & kids programs?
Support our local businesses
|
Weather ups and downs got you thinking? Plan a garden.
Have some hope.
~ Jacquie
