Mtg notes: Selectmen 03.12.15 – Ulin rink update; Plate proposal; DHCD decision reviewed

by Frank Schroth

At last week’s meeting of the Board of Selectmen the board received an update from Rick Sullivan, CFO of Curry College regarding the Ulin rink. Curry College manages the rink on behalf of the town. The town has a permit from the DCR which expires at the end of April as does the town’s agreement with Curry. The town has been granted a 1 year extension on their permit from the DCR and it is possible that town will do the same with Curry.

Finally . . . it’s spring!

You may not recognize Town Meeting Member Laurie Macintosh at least until she strips down (don’t get too excited). She performed a hilarious piece at the Quincy Choral Concert last week end. The song and lyrics, which we can all relate to, were written by Ms. Macintosh, Kathy Ready, and John Nichols.

Thanks to Brian Kelley for sending this in. We welcome your submissions. You can email them to frank@mytownmatters.com.
