[LincolnTalk] ISO crib mattress and swing set

[Maureen E Devlin]

Hi—posting this for a friend in Lincoln who’s not on Talks. Her two young 
grandchildren (and their parents btw) are relocating to the Boston area and are 
going to stay in her home in Lincoln starting July 1 for at least a couple 
months. You can imagine the preparations! She’s looking for a crib mattress 
and—this one’s a long shot—a swing set. Willing to pay fair price.

Please reply directly to me, and thank you in advance!

ARISE!*



In his penultimate season before stepping down as Artistic Director next

The program begins with a rousing *Glory Glory* and closes with a
triumphant *Pass Me Not*. Wonder and joy fill the concert from Joseph
Shabalala’s *Moon is Walking* to Nick’s powerful arrangement of Linda
Hirschhorn’s setting of *Lo V’Chayil* (Not By Might, But With Love), with
lift-us-to-the-sky percussion. Drums are also central to a rousing South
African *Haleluya*. Fittingly, the chorus will sing *A Parting Glass*, a
Celtic song of farewell.



The chorus is joined by the amazing Louise Grasmere on vocals plus the
great Donnell Patterson, who leads two inspirational songs. Plus - Willie
Sordillo returns to light the hall with his saxophone joy!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Lincoln Solar Event: June 21st at 12 pm via zoom

[John F. Carr]

If you do decide on solar, I recommend not going with the presenter
Great Sky Solar.  We chose them in 2019 and they still haven't
resolved all our problems.  They are not scammers but I think they are
in over their heads.

They told us installation involved about a seven week process of
planning and ordering before the installation.  Shortly before the
scheduled installation date their electrician showed up, looked at our
breaker panels, and said they needed to be replaced.  This should not
have been a surprise.  It might be typical.   Replacing breaker panels
requires coordination with Eversource to shut off power and that has
some lead time.  There was more.  The seven weeks turned out to be a
lot longer.  I told our story to a builder who replied "Welcome to the
past 35 years of my life."  Chasing after subcontractors is his job.
It isn't my job.  See
https://www.bostonglobe.com/2022/03/31/business/they-spent-24000-solar-panels-then-eversource-took-four-months-turn-them/
for another family's story.

Our solar generation was not as high as promised.  In hindsight, they
had the most optimistic generation prediction of the three bidders.
They gave us a warranty so for 10 years we can chase after them every
winter to write us a check for the past year's shortage.  I suspect
their tree shade model is not accurate for our location, but that is
only a guess.   Another bidder wanted to fly a drone to measure tree
height.  It refused to take off so close to Hanscom.

And then there is the credit.  You might think you would be billed for
net use, consumption minus generation, but it is not that simple. The
powers that be wanted voters to experience the thrill of getting a
check in the mail.  For that we have a second meter to measure
production and determine the size of the check.  That one doesn't work
right.  We are getting about 2/3 the credit we should be getting.  I
think the problem is our battery backup.  The "critical load" panel
attached to our battery diverts solar power before it gets to the
meter to be measured.  If I am right you won't have this problem if
you don't have a battery.  Eversource thinks it's Great Sky's problem
and Great Sky evidently doesn't understand how to fix it.  After about
a year they learned there was a box they needed to install to talk to
the meter.  They installed it.  No change.  Eversource said the box
didn't have enough memory.  Memory?

Recently our battery stopped working.  Their advice is to turn it off
and turn it on again.

Lincoln MCC
Our Vision:

The MCC supports building a strong, anti-racist community in which students and 
families with different life experiences feel a deep sense of inclusion and 
belonging and recognize, accept, and celebrate each other's differences. We 
also support the METCO program by activating caregivers to help attain its 
goals and priorities. 




Our Mission:




We will achieve our vision by:





   
   -
Creating opportunities for Lincoln resident and Boston resident students and 
caregivers to build authentic and lasting relationships and an equitable 
exchange of welcoming experiences in both Boston and Lincoln (e.g., 
opportunities for social connection, after school programming for children, 
summer camp)

   -
Supporting the school and community in its Anti-racism, Inclusion, Diversity 
and Equity (AIDE) work (e.g., district NCBI training, caregiver education)

   -
Advocating and supporting the METCO program at both a State and Local level

   
   -
Organizing resources (funding, volunteers) in support of the METCO team with 
their work 

   -
Advocating for conditions that will promote a truly integrated public school 
environment (e..g. inclusive curriculum, vision for integration, etc.)

[LincolnTalk] Looking to buy a bike for A 5’ 3” male

[Christine Damon]

Hi Lincoln talkers, 

I am looking to buy a bike for a 5’3” male, preferably a road bike, but a 
mountain bike would work too. It is for a teenaged, short distance commuter. 

You can email me or call if you have one you would like to sell.

Thanks!

Re: [LincolnTalk] Family of 4 from Ukraine seeks housing in Lincoln

[Buell, Lawrence]

Dear Mr Niemiec and other Lincoln neighbors,

I, who sent the post on behalf of Ms Smirnoff, live at 60 Tower Road and have 
lived in Lincoln for the past 32 years. My home phone (in the Lincoln 
directory) is 781-259-1278.

I can assure you that the need of the family in question for housing is 
legitimate. I have met them personally as a result of my work as volunteer for 
St Vincent de Paul of Lincoln and Weston as well as with their Lincolnite 
relatives Mr. and Ms. Smirnov. I was the one who posted the notice because Ms 
Smirnov is not a subscriber to lincolntalk.

If you or any other neighbors who read this can offer any leads on housing to 
this fine refugee family, please contact olga_smir...@hotmail.com

Thank you,
Larry Buell
