Welcome To The New And Improved Jamestown Quick Topic

And an awesome band rockin the merc to finish off one of jimtown's funtime days.

Regarding the Mass Casualty Exercise for JVFD...

WHERE WILL THE DUMPSTERS BE LOCATED as May 9th is also Spring Cleanup Day, as well as the Rummage & Bake Sale, AND Recycling!!!

Well, if you haven't opened the link that Bill Brotherton posted and called "Asynchronous Band In A Hat", you really should - made me grin from ear to ear and bounce on my exercise ball!

Speaking of Band In A Hat, I can't wait to see all the fun millinery creations that everybody wears! I have extra hats if anybody needs one - yes, Bill M. you can borrow the one we talked about at the Merc.

Don't forget - 7:00 p.m. this Saturday, May 2nd is the show!

Howdy Folks,

The MCI Incident that we have been trying to accomplish has been reset for the 9th of May. This date has been chosen for two reasons the first this is when all of the departments incloved are able to all be available and the second is that all of the reports, billing, and other related paper work needs to ne submitted prior to the 16th of May.

Being aware of several events in town that day I have requested certain changes to the planning on this day so as we have as minimum impact as possible.

There will be some early morning traffic as some departments will be going up to Balarat for staging and they will be returning thru town between 9:00 and 9:30 am. Everything else we do will utilize the lower end of the park and the fire department. Vehicle traffic will access Cemetary Road via Main Street so this may be slightly congested but being a non emergency I believe this should not to much an issue.

I thank you all for patience and your commitment to the Jamestown Fire Department.

This news flash just sent to me!:

Good Morning,
 
As most of you have likely heard, there is a worldwide investigation underway on the swine flu. This email is to update you on Boulder County activities related to swine flu and where you can get up-to-date information for Boulder County, the state of Colorado, and the Nation.

• Swine flu is passed from person to person and not from pigs or from eating pork.

We (contractors) are asking that no cars be parked by the Town Square and that no cars be parked in the right of way along Main Street (from Ward Street to lower Main Street bridge). It is making it difficult to clean up the large amount of mud and causes problems with snow plowing. We appreciate your help in parking cars elsewhere while crews clean up the mud. Thank you in advance!

hello all, if anyone has some work to be done about the house, i.e. repairs and general maintaince. give me a call. 303.786-7978.

The Titanic
by June Robertson Beisch

So this is how it feels, the deck tilting,
the world slipping away as one
sitting at a desk writes a check.

The Titanic went down titanically
like a goddess glittering,
Pinioned to an iceberg, she sank

almost thankfully while tiny mortals
leapt into the sea
and the band played Nearer My God to Thee.

But what happened to the signals of distress?
Nobody believed it was all really happening.
I still can’t believe that it happened to me.

As a child, I stared horrified at the photograph
and the vision of that scene in the moonlit sea.
We will be one of the survivors, we think,
then something looms up like catastrophe.

All life, it seems, is the morning after
and love is the most beautiful of absolute disasters.

Hi Bill. A little background. That video was done by a group called Playing For Change. playingforchange.com There are 7 videos on their website from the DVD being released this month. Here's a really nice version of One Love: http://www.playingforchange.com/episodes/3/One_Love

They have brief bios for all the musicians on each video.

An asynchronous - Band in the hat.
