Time to have children rediscover nature’s benefits - Jamestown Press

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

Summer sounded better in the 1970s. I woke every morning to the birds chirping outside my window screen, a dewy chill in the air. I’d smell my father’s pipe, which he smoked while he read the paper downstairs. I’d go down to greet him. He’d make scrambled eggs and toast covered with butter, and we’d eat while the birds sang. The evening sounds were equally powerful — a dog barking; a motorcycle downshifting on some faraway hill; people out on th…Jamestown, Rhode Island · Jamestown Read Article

Does the FTM still work? Of course not - Jamestown Press

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

To the editor: If the article in The Jamestown Press on last week’s financial town meeting in any way reflects the word on the street, the meeting once again has shown the shortcomings of the town’s budget process. For so many years, the FTM generates a negligible amount of registered voters (about 3 percent). When queried as to why nobody shows up, the council’s sardonic reply is “because everyone approves of the budget.” Who are they kidding? …Jamestown, Rhode Island · Jamestown Read Article

Let’s not play blame game on water issue - Jamestown Press

100% Center coverage: 1 sources

To the editor: The May 29 edition of The Jamestown Press reported on a request to the town council to amend an ordinance that would make it illegal for homeowners to discharge water from their yards onto municipally owned roads. I think this is unfair and describe my experience to illustrate. When my house was built four years ago, there was no ordinance to limit the size of basements in new builds in town. The town approved the plans for the ho…Jamestown, Rhode Island · Jamestown Read Article
