[LincolnTalk] Maury Eldridge

[Annamaria San Antonio]

Hello neighbors,

Some of you in town might know fellow Lincolnites, Maury Eldridge, and his
wife Dale, and may be aware of the sad and tragic passing of Maury this
past weekend.  It's important to acknowledge the passing of our dear
community members to honor them and their lives and with that in mind, I
post this news.

I knew Maury only as a fellow singer in the Mystic Chorale but even while I
did not know him well, his special, gentle, yet powerful nature touched me,
as he did so many people.

He played a pivotal role in the Mystic Chorale community, and click on this
link below if you'd like to see how we are commemorating his life and
holding him in love and light as we say our farewells to our friend, and
wonderful, talented, loving man.
https://mysticchorale.org/maury-eldridge/

It is too ironic how he was to sing a solo on one of our songs this season,
The Parting Glass, a Scottish traditional song, and my last image of him
was on the stage in last week's rehearsal singing it in his deep baritone.

*~Jai Anna*

I so agree!  This is no time for political arguments.  Think of those
families and send them love and compassion!

[LincolnTalk] Taps Across America - May 30th, 2022

[Bonnie Mohr via Lincoln]

2020 was the First Taps Across America Memorial Day Event, started by Steve 
Hartman of CBS "On the Road".
 The program requests 1 minute of silence at 3pm, to be followed by the playing 
of taps.  Last Year they had at least 10,000 Registered Participants, and many 
more not formally registered. If anyone would like to participate this year - 
here is the link.  (Which includes a nice video of pictures that were submitted 
last year - all ages,all kinds of instruments.)  The music is on the website.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Original Intent

[Richard Panetta]

Automatic weapons are basically banned so that would be very far fetched.
They cost thousands, you need a federal stamp to own one.

But yes according to Margit and the rules of LT this type of discussion
does not belong here. She has made this very clear several times

And to add to that  this type of discussion would not be welcome on the FB
discussion group either. Unless it specifically dealt with Lincoln schools.

[LincolnTalk] How to support our children

[Susan Taylor]

from the Superintendent of Lincoln Public Schools:

This morning we are grieving the loss of so many innocent lives due to the 
shooting in Uvalde, Texas.  Each time an event like this occurs, especially in 
a school, it leads me to reflect upon our practices and protocols and the ways 
that we provide support to students on a daily basis.  We know that the best 
way to deter violence from occurring within our schools and communities is to 
ensure that all of our students feel connected to their school, have trusted 
adults that they can go to, and that we help them develop the skills and coping 
strategies needed to get through difficult times.

We are fortunate to have a skilled cadre of social workers and school 
psychologists in our schools who work alongside our classroom teachers and 
administrators to support students on a daily basis. The best response to these 
events is to double down on preventative steps of building strong 
student-to-student and student-to-staff connections and to teach our children 
social emotional strategies that help them understand themselves and cope with 
the effects of stress, anxiety, depression, and feelings of anger or 
frustration, etc.  Building strong, positive district, school, and classroom 
cultures is essential in helping to prevent these horrific events from 
occurring in our schools.

I am providing several links below for resources on how to talk with children 
about violence.  It is essential that our students’ families partner with us by 
supporting their children at home.  Please take some time to review the 
resources to assist you in having developmentally appropriate conversations 
with your children.
 
Our hearts are with Robb Elementary’s educators, students, and families, as 
well as the entire Uvalde community during this time. Please be gentle with 
yourselves during this difficult time.

horrified if they saw what is happening in this country with gun violence.  
When the Constitution was written men had muskets that take time to reload.  
Now everyone can have assault rifles and handguns.  What say you Justices of 
the Supreme Court?  What say you original intent proponents?  The 2nd Amendment 
does not say that eveyone can have the guns available today that are bought to 
kill innocent people.  No it says "A well regulated  militia, being necessary 
to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, 
shall not be infringed."  We have gone so far beyond that original intent that 
we are all complicit at some level for the ongoing violence here.  I say, let 
us protest.  Let us march.  Let us insist that Congress, state legislatures and 
the Supreme Court act - now...  We must speak out.
I pray for the 14 children, their teacher - and all the lives that will be 
touched by this horrendous tragedy.
Thank you.  Sarah--

Re: [LincolnTalk] Original Intent

[Seth Rosen]

It seems to me this string is a national political debate and not a 
Lincoln-specific topic.

A town message forum focused on hyper-local issues does not seem like the right 
place for this type of back and forth.

Hopefully this thread can end and this discussion can be shifted elsewhere.  
Plenty of places for this, but this doesn’t seem like the right one to me…

Re: [LincolnTalk] Original Intent

Excuse me-hope and prayers have gotten us nowhere!
The bloodshed continues.

Of course we are distraught and pray that we can move BEYOND hope and prayers 
to action that might, just might have a chance of stopping the bloodshed.

I can balance sorrow and rage at the same time.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Original Intent- clarification of response.

[Sara Mattes]

Apparently at least one reader misunderstood my comments.
They were cynical predictions of the anticipated responses from the entities 
named, not my advocacy of anything!

And, in fact, within the last hour, those are exactly the responses from both 
the GOP and the NRA.

My own advocacy would be for sweeping reform-banning assault weapons, banning 
high-capacity magazines, comprehensive background checks with a long waiting 
period, etc.etc.
A girl can dream.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Help with weeding

[Robin Wilkerson]

Alice - at the risk of opening up a Lincoln Talk can of worms, can I just put 
in a plea to not encourage the use of roundup or any other systemic weed 
killer. Herbicides are carcinogens and are toxic to amphibians and fish. There 
is a reason it is now banned in France - not a country always at the helm of 
environmental activism, but in this case, I believe they have done the right 
thing. We can be all too casual with our relationship to herbicides, pesticides 
and fungicides. Please research before using, and thanks for listening. Robin

Re: [LincolnTalk] Original Intent

[Linda McMillan]

I totally agree. The Republican Senators should be ashamed. They have been 
stonewalling gun reform legislation because they are beholden to the gun lobby. 
Power and money is what they are about. This week, the Governor of Texas (Greg 
Abbot), Ted Cruz, and Trump will be speaking at the National Rifle Association 
annual conference. How do they get up in the morning and face their conscience. 
 Will they edit their planned remarks I wonder?

Re: [LincolnTalk] Help with weeding

[Alice Waugh]

Another option: buy some Ortho or Roundup weed killer. No sprayer needed;
it comes with a battery-powered wand.

[LincolnTalk] Letter to the Community

[Elder, Peggy]

To the Community:

We have recently become aware of an issue with several residents failing to 
receive their second half 2022 real estate tax bill.  We know Lincoln residents 
are diligent and timely taxpayers, and so when an unprecedented number of 
residents notified us via phone calls and emails, we began researching the 
matter. We were able to determine that 191 residents did not receive an 
original fiscal year 2022 second half real estate tax bill.

We are taking steps to notify the affected residents and intend to waive all 
demand fees and interest charges accrued to date for these specific accounts.

Please be assured that this issue was not a result of a failure in our 
software, however we have put additional checks and balances in place to reduce 
the risk of this occurring in the future.

We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this has caused, and truly 
appreciate your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,


Krystal Elder, Treasurer/Collector
Colleen Wilkins, Finance Director/Town Accountant

the Select Board

Re: [LincolnTalk] Help with weeding

[Pastor Allen]

Hi Mary,

Charlene and Bill do exactly this sort of work for us.  However, we have found 
that getting anyone to do yardwork of any sort, even at $25 an hour, is pretty 
much impossible given the current labor market.

Bill and Charlene can be reached via voice or text at (351) 226-9006. I do not 
have an email address for them.

[LincolnTalk] Free: Tully Lake camp site available for tonight & tomorrow night

[sara levine]

Hi Neighbors:

Crazy last minute offer here:

Would anyone make use of a very beautiful campsite for tonight and Thursday 
night? 

We had a reservation at Tully Lake in Royalston Ma,  ( about 1 hr and 20 mins 
from Lincoln). but now, can’t use it.  We are happy for someone else to enjoy 
it as a gift.

It’s a very special spot!  

An easy walk-in site over a small footbridge, surrounded by lovely woods and 
miles of hiking trails, a couple of sweet waterfalls. 
Perfect  basecamp to canoe or swim, or just  hang in your hammock and watch 
clouds float by.

https://thetrustees.org/place/tully-lake-campground/ 


Spontaneous camping retreat anyone?

*Masks now optional in the Lincoln Public Library*

The Lincoln Board of Health (BOH) voted to rescind the town-wide indoor
mask mandate effective Monday, March 14, 2022, in response to substantially
improved and positively trending public health data, including Lincoln’s
high vaccination rate.

Residents with weakened immune systems or at increased risk of severe
Covid-19 disease because of age or medical conditions, or who have a
household member at such increased risk, are advised by the Lincoln BOH and
the Commonwealth’s Department of Public Health (DPH) to continue to wear a
mask when indoors other than in their home, even if they are vaccinated.

We encourage the public to continue to wear masks in accordance with their
own comfort level and in compliance with the DPH guidelines cited above.
Private establishments may continue to *require masks upon entry.*

*Updated indoor mask use recommendation as of April 14, 2022*: “Due to
recent data showing an increase in positive COVID-19 cases, the Board of
Health members voted last night to strongly recommend that people wear
masks in public indoor spaces until early May as we see how the infection
rate from the new BA-2 variant evolves over the next few weeks after spring
vacation.”

More information is available on the town website here.


Please visit our FAQ page

for
more information about our changes in service!

[LincolnTalk] ISO: Looking for Recommendations for Insurance Agent

[Louis Zipes]

Interesting. I have always been happy with Marie Perlatonda at WTP.
Admittedly I haven't had to make a claim but anytime I have had a question
or changes to my policies she has been responsive.

Not sure if you can switch agents or not within an agency.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Ant holes

[Sara Lupkas]

I would leave them - these don't look like carpenter ants or other species 
that are harmful. Most ant species support a healthy ecosystem. Among other 
things, they aerate the soil — digging tunnels that carry water, oxygen, and 
nutrients to plant roots. And they also speed the decomposition of organic 
material, such as leaves and dead insects, thereby fertilizing plants. If you 
ever decide to plant that area of your garden, the soil will probably be 
improved by their activity.

Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln population counts-our HAFB neighbors

[Sara Mattes]

All,
Historically, HAFB residents have been included as part of our community as 
best we can.
We administer their schools, and, before 9/11, our kids met on playing fields 
both on the Lincoln campus and on Base.
HAFB parents were invited to our events, and HAFB residents were invited to ALL 
town/community events.
And, in turn, we attended events on Base.
HAFB personnel were often the guest speakers at our Memorial Day events.

9/11 security measures made the easy movement between these 2 communities 
rather difficult.
Most travel between locations was limited to official business.
As the Select representative to the Base, and the representative from HATS to 
the BRAC/Build the Base campaign, I had clearance and spent a lot of time on 
Base.
Even with my position, it was difficult and Security often had me waiting at 
the Sartain (Vandenberg) gate to receive additional clearance to enter.

While informal social movement was curtailed in one direction, Base residents 
have continued to come to Lincoln programs and events.
However,  the security reality of the 21st century creates barriers to a more 
open and organic relationship.

[LincolnTalk] Lincoln population counts

[Rachel Drew]

Allen's figures do include HAFB. Putting aside the important question of
why/whether we should consider residents there members of our community
(!!), the numbers for Lincoln excluding HAFB are not so easy to come by -
the Census Bureau changes how it draws various administrative geographies
with each Decennial Census, so there is no consistency across decades in
how it defines sub-town areas (for those facile with online mapping,
the Census'
TigerWeb  program allows you
to see how these lines change over time).

That said, the best approximation I could do came up with the following:

2010: 5,076 (using 2010 Census tract 3602)

At its May 23rd meeting, the Lincoln Select Board voted to issue a statement 
proclaiming June as Pride Month in the Town of Lincoln. The proclamation states 
that "during Pride and at all other times, we dedicate ourselves to using our 
voices and our resources to support all residents, students, employees, and 
visitors to participate fully in the life of our community" and that "we stand 
with the LGBTQIA+ community to protect their civil rights."
