Dear Residents -


As you gather around the dinner table tomorrow, please remember to give thanks for the people you love, the great country you live in, the food on your table and, if you are lucky enough, your good health.

 

This year, with what is going on around the world right now, I am personally struggling to feel festive. However, I will let it serve as a reminder of how thankful I should be, and to look around the table and be ever so thankful for the one thing that matters most to me, the people that I love. I hope you all do the same.  

 

Also, please don’t forget (and appreciate) those who cannot be with their families on Thanksgiving Day, including those in the military, nurses, doctors, police officers and all first responders, as they will be working so that we can safely enjoy our holiday.

 

As a reminder, Town Hall will be closed on Thursday, November 23rd and Friday, November 24th. Have a happy and safe Thanksgiving!  



Regards,

Teresa M. Kenny

Stay Safe While Running when it is dark in the early morning or at Night 


As the days get shorter it is crucial to prioritize safety while running. Here are some tips to ensure your runs remain enjoyable and secure: 

Visibility is Key: Wear reflective clothing and accessories to enhance your visibility to drivers. Make yourself easy to spot. 

Brighten Up: Use a headlamp or carry a flashlight to illuminate your path. Ensure you can see and be seen. 

Stick to Well-Lit Routes: Plan your running route along well-lit streets and paths. Avoid secluded or poorly lit areas. 

Tell Someone: Inform a friend or family member about your running plans and expected return time. Safety comes in sharing your whereabouts. 

Stay Alert: Remove distractions like headphones to stay aware of your surroundings. Stay alert to potential hazards. 

Buddy System: Whenever possible, run with a buddy. There's safety in numbers, and it can make your run more enjoyable. 

Obey Traffic Rules: If running near roads, always obey traffic signals and rules. Make eye contact with drivers to ensure they see you. 

Carry Identification: Bring identification and a phone with you. In case of an emergency, you'll be prepared. 


Share these tips with fellow runners and friends to promote safety in our community. Let's make sure everyone can enjoy their evening runs without any worries.
