Roof Collapse at the Holland Rod & Gun Club.

Holland-Rod-and-Gun-Club-pavilion-with-collapsed-roof. Today, shortly after 2 p.m., an I-Reporter of the Holland blog discovered the collapsed roof of one of the two pavilions at the Holland Rod & Gun Club (HRGC) at the end of Wales Road.
I called Stu Perry, nominee for the 2011 President position of the HRGC at the upcoming elections next Sunday, February 20, 2011. Stu had no idea about the collapsed roof and was surprised. Read more»

Cable Committee Members Can't Be Bothered..

In case you tried to watch the televised selectboard meeting and there was none, there was actually a selectboard meeting but it was a NO SHOW for the members of the Cable Commission due to the weather! I just called the town hall and got the news form the town clerk, Kristin LaPlante.

Do You Recognize the House Which is Plowed-out Here?

Heavy-Front-Loader-plowing-in-front-of-Earl-Johnson’s-house-on-Hisgen-Road.YES, you are right, the house is Earl's house on 10 Hisgen Road.
Unless the Johnson’s bought their own 21,000lb front loader, this looks like town equipment the Johnson’s use to do chores around the house...
Brian Johnson, our elected Highway Surveyor, will tell you that he filled the tank on his dime and that his father’s driveway is basically “town property.”
I wonder if he gets paid overtime because it is Saturday...
The picture was taken before noon today and per MMS transmitted to the HollandBlog by an anonymous I-Reporter.
Thanks! Keep sending them! (Click on image to enlarge!)

Somebody’s Darling

Peter,
I have had much on my mind lately about the American soldiers who continue to perish in Afghanistan and Iraq. I imagine that most people don't realize that already in 2011 between January 1 and January 20th twenty-five soldiers made that ultimate sacrifice. I believe that whether or not we philosophically support the wars, we can agree that the casualties should not be hidden.
I have produced a simple video that I hope you will consider using on your web site. I have taken an old classic American historic song about the sadness of the loss of our youth and with just a few pictures of a cemetery and soldiers' caskets I have included the names of those who have perished thus far in 2011.
You will find this non-political, and I did not include my name or my website in the video. Please look at it and consider if you would embed it on your site. I am hoping that if others find it worthy, they will consider passing a link on to others. Thanks, Peter.
Brent
