Police officers do a lot of things no one knows about. Part of this is due to cops being cops. They are a profession that is modest by nature. They are just doing their job. But there are times when they go beyond the call of duty. There are times when as with all professions individuals not only do their job but they do it really, really well.
We want acknowledge them and thank them.

In a front page story of last week’s Milton Times,Charles “Chick” Geilich, a partner with Quarry Hill Partners, says “his firm is greatly troubled by the plan [to erect a wind turbine]. ‘We are concerned,’ he said. ‘We think it will destroy the Blue Hills and it will destroy our business.'” The story goes on to say, “Geilich charged that the giant turbine would destroy the “beautiful vistas” enjoyed by patrons of the 27-hole golf course and its restaurant, the Tavern at Quarry Hills. Its very presence will ‘destroy’ the ambience of the setting, he said, while the noise, flicker and shadow it generates will be a distraction for golfers.”
