Last weekend was going to be sad, no matter what. Our beloved 14-year-old rescue mutt passed away on Thursday. As a friend remarked to me Monday, pets take up such a small space but occupy a big place in your heart. Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of my Dad’s death. One of our two sons, David, was grieving over the 10th anniversary last Wednesday of a favorite Army sergeant, Nicholas Fredsti, who was killed on a patrol during their deployment to Afghanistan in 2012.

SALEM – A proposal to make additional residential areas in the city eligible for a tax abatement on new construction is headed to city council.
The Economic Development Committee agreed Tuesday to recommend city council change the boundaries of the Community Reinvestment Area to include sections previously excluded as a way to attract more new housing, which is lacking in the city.
“I don’t see much downside to it, if any at all,” Councilman Jake Gano said.
In February, Gano brought up the idea of reviewing the CRA program so that certain housing developments shut out during the last revision in 2017 could be included.
