• Kudos to the officers who I (Ethel) saw on July 16 on my street taking a report. One, a young African-American officer, motioned my neighbor’s son over — an African-American teenager who was walking past. The boy looked a little worried, but the officer reached out his hand and shook the young man’s hand, and the chatted and joked for a bit. Some of the younger kids on bikes circled around them, and the officer spent time with each child, complimenting them on their bikes and toys, reminding them to be careful biking on the street, etc. The other officer finished his report and took the time to say hello and shake hands with other neighbors and slow a car down that was barreling down the street. I didn’t catch their names (by the time I got inside to get a piece of paper and pen, they’d gone), but these two officers did true community policing that evening, making a point to be part of the neighborhood. Thank you!
• Lowarth a Winslow (Garden of Winslow in Cornish) has gone insane with squash and green tomatoes and a million weeds. Hot weather is sure to bring the red out of the tomatoes soon, and with a bit of rain and a lot of sunshine, the gardens will continue their bounty!
