Pictures from around town
Walgreens is making progress. The walls are up and being covered with brick.
The older buildings downtown have been spruced up.
The museum is getting its work done. According to Jeff Nutting's update at the recent Town Council meeting, the windows have a long lead time but otherwise the work is on schedule and on budget.
Spring Pond located along Washington St was showing the full range of autumn colors. The picture does not do justice to the scene.

State mandates take another step
State to require toothbrushing at daycares, preschools
Citing evidence of early decay in children's mouths, the state plans to require nursery schools, pre-schools and other licensed day care providers to give dental care lessons and supervise cleaning if their charges are there for more than four hours a day or eat a meal.Read the full article here:
State to require toothbrushing at daycares, preschools
"With the hectic and busy lives people live today and the mobile society that we are, it is understandable that people may forget the ultimate sacrifice made by soldiers in the Armed Forces," said Hunchard. "Maybe while stopped at a stop sign or stop light, people may notice a veteran's remembrance sign and realize the sacrifices made for our way of life."
