After the first paragraph, it is easiest to view the comments on the original website of www.topix.com and search for Snowplow info.. These comments were made on the heels of learning of a van hitting a snowplow the Wednesday night before Thanksgiving 2013 in Hillsdale NY, with the loss of one girl who was 5 years old from S Egremont MA. One report I saw had said another had also succumbed to injuries but that was erroneous, which I learned a few days later. ...

This tragic accident claiming the life of ONE young person is one that too many towns have faced, yet one that can draw people

Taking a class at Noble Horizons in Salisbury CT on Alzheimer's (still room if interested Wed.s in Oct 2013) made it clear there is not an quick easy way to tell if someone has dementia or what kind. A lot of symptoms have to do with people losing aspects of their memory, which is located in various parts of the brain.

Sometimes I can't easily open a new blog post so end up using a Comment Section to add a new topic..not the best plan but at least I get the ideas down. This whole site is very much 'off the cuff' and reflects posts as I can get to them. I hope to revamp it and make it 'all neat and organized' with shorter paragraphs and such.

Til then, thanks for taking time to read a post or two and add a comment as you can. Elizabeth Smart's interview on www.npr.org in October 2013 on Fresh Air is a game-changer for breaking the silence about abuse of ANY kind.

Until you try it, you won't know what you're missing.   

eanwhile, there is still time, whenever you read this to redouble our collective efforts, as MLK's son and namesake encouraged US-All to do to keep Civil Rights a reality for all people in our country

Many voices can open up many choices--with added info!

I have been doing advocacy for all parents and adults to voluntarily learn about ways to care for children and even themselves. Our society is designed to allow people great freedom and then to arrest them when they “break the law.” There are many domestic abuse laws as well as ways to nurture self and others, care for children and elderly on www.theduluthmodel.org with free print-outs of “power wheels.” Taking 10 minutes to look up these key sites could save people 10 years and more of hassle, that’s a better deal than most get on
