I very much appreciate Representative Timilty’s help and letter about the critical problem of noise and pollution from the saturation of aircraft arrivals and departures over Milton. Thanks also to the Town of Milton officials, Senator Brian Joyce, Congressmen Lynch and Capuano, and Boston City Councilor Tim McCarthy for attending the hearing and supporting the request for an extension to the incredibly short comment period regarding the two new concentrated arrival paths (RNAVs) over Milton, Hyde Park, Canton, Dorchester, Mattapan, and South Boston.

Letter: MYC performs dock repairs
Milton Yacht Club has again paid for raw materials and supplied the knowledge and labor to rebuild the main float that comprises Milton Landing’s public access dock. Used as a turn-key access solution by community boaters as well as the MHS Crew program, the entire float system was in need of repairs.
Letter: Malcolm Larson on ballot Question 1, firefighter override
TO: MY TOWN MATTERS
I am Chairman of a committee to support the passage of QUESTION 1 that will appear on the ballot Election Day, April 28th.
The background for this ballot questions was the tragic on duty injury of a Milton Firefighter on June 30, 2007. Our brave Milton Firefighter was helping a woman involved in a car accident when he was hit by a drunk driver, thrown over 40 feet to land in the middle of Blue Hill Ave. with traumatic injuries to his head and entire body. As we all honor the heroic sacrifice made that day, there is another side to this tragedy that the Town has had to address. The financial side.

February 25, 2015
Dear fellow Milton residents,
I have decided not to seek re-election as Library Trustee.
I am grateful that I had the opportunity to serve on this board for 8 years and for all the Constituents who voted for me. It was truly a pleasure to serve the Town of Milton and all of the residents who call it home. The library has made amazing strides in the past, as I am sure it will in the future. The support it enjoys is unparalleled.

Letter: Representative Timilty urges F.A.A. review of aviation impact on Milton
In a letter to Michael Huerta, Administrator of the F.A.A. dated January 9, 2015, Representative Timilty expressed his concerns with the adverse impacts of airplane traffic over Milton. He requested Mr. Huerta’s attention to this issue. Representative Timilty wrote:
It is my understanding that the F.A.A. has hte regulatory authority to address thes issue when the effect of both noise nad air pollution are deemed to be detrimental to the health and well-being of a community. [Milton] is an egregious exampls of such a situation. . . the negative effects of poor air-quality, resulting from aviation emissions continue to engender long-term harmful consequences for the residents of Milton . . . Thereore, I am urging the F.A.A., in the strongest possible terms, to review the concners presented by the citizens of Milton.

Letter: Milton taking steps to address opioid issue
Letter from Deborah Milbauer
Thank you so much for highlighting the opioid epidemic issue. Governor Deval Patrick declared a state of emergency last March in part because deaths from overdose now exceed deaths from car accidents. Some funding (20 million – although not nearly enough to address the issue fully) was allocated to address it. Some money was allocated to expand access and reimbursement to drug treatment, and some money for prevention dollars (which is the area in which I work).

As summer winds down and we look to fall, our thoughts turn to school, cooler nights, apple picking, and any number of fun New England activities.
