Has Your Home Been Deleaded?
December 16th, 2009 Categories: Town Hall Info
I came across this website today that keeps a record of any deleading records on file with the state of Massachusetts.
In attempting to find the government office that would have the actual deleading certificates of compliance, I got the expected runaround. First, all sites that referred me to the lead paint programs had a disconnected phone number. When I reached somebody, they put me into a voicemail system where I left a message. I am on day 2 with no phone call returned.
The deleading programs in Massachusetts are some of the strictest created, and the federal guidelines followed this state’s lead. But as usual, the implementation of a good idea falls on its face when put in the hands of government. Budgets have to get cut, they slash these types of departments!
Well, at least the website has good records of dates and inspectors. I hope this will be enough for my buyer, because I am not expecting a call back from the Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (CLPPP)!

Holliston Football Player Needs your Vote
December 15th, 2009 Categories: Holliston, School Info
Holliston High School had a great season in 2009, with their only loss coming in the Superbowl against Austin Prep. Fox News is holding a vote on their website for determining the top HS football “Team Player of the Year”, and our own Sean Mayo is one of the nominees.
One of the terrific parts of the Holliston High Football team’s success is seeing the town’s excitement over their hometown. The crowds were awesome all season long, and there is great pride from our school children.
This vote takes about 15 seconds, so click here and lets show how spirited the citizens of Holliston are!

Holliston did one of these votes a few years back with a local electric company. The company was going to give lights for a playing field for the most votes. Holliston won that contest and we now have Granite City Electric lights over our baseball field. Let’s show that spirit again!
