Please drive the speed limit

I want to thank the Greenfield Police Department. They have recently put up an electronic sign on Allen Street, reminding all drivers to stay near 25 mph. “Drive slow!”
I live on Allen Street and it seems that some drivers like to soar as they come up and over the Allen Street bridge. The driver has no idea who or what is in the road on the other side of the bridge.
No matter how fast you are headed for the stop light on Conway Street, you won’t be able to “beat it” if it is already green when you see it at Wells Street.

Low Vision Network provides help to visually impaired
The Massachusetts Lions Low Vision Network has established a substantial network of practitioners within the state who specialize in low vision assessment and treatment. They are providing low vision tools and other solutions such as hand magnifiers, computer technology, telescopes, binocular systems and more to improve the quality of life for Massachusetts residents who are visually impaired.
According to a press release from the Westborough Lions Club, Lions volunteers are playing a major role in this program by helping visually impaired patients to make appointments, providing rides to and from the appointment if necessary, and answering questions that come up.
I was interested in seeing the article in the Jan. 6 Recorder with the title “No Idling” signs set to be posted at town-owned properties”. The Town of Whately has it right, there is a state law that limits idling to five minutes for passenger cars. In.
An example to us all

Such good news… A donor’s gift has made the expansion of the Wells St. homeless shelter possible! The article in the Dec. 2 Recorder did not tell us the name of the donor, but we would like to express our gratitude to that donor for their generosity in this public way (in the letters). It seems that the state funds ServiceNet for all its services at 65%. It wouldn’t have been possible for this shelter to expand at the current state funding level.
We, a small group from various religious communities, are interested in knowing all ways that the public can help with improving our care of the homeless. We can’t wait for state funding to make it happen. To the person who stepped up and gave generously to help make more space for the homeless in our city; thank you! You are an example to us all. We know that each person can make a difference, in a small way or a big one.
