A couple of assets in the Town of Southbury will benefit from state bond funding approved today. $400,000 was approved for roof repairs at Southbury Training School, along with $100,000 for sewer pipe repairs at the site. There was also funding approved for Kettletown State Park and Larkin Trail State Park repairs as part of a larger $10 million request for statewide improvements at various State Park, Forest, Boat Launch and Wildlife Management areas. The funding was approved for storm/flood damage recovery, as well as for Kettletown Priority Bath House/Toilet Building Renovations.

Today we honor heroes who gave their all for our freedoms.

I had the opportunity to participate in events in Bridgewater and Southbury commemorating this important day. Thank you to everyone who coordinated these ceremonies.

"Whether we observe the occasion through public ceremony or through private prayer, Memorial Day leaves few hearts unmoved. Each of the patriots whom we remember on this day was first a beloved son or daughter, a brother or sister, or a spouse, friend, and neighbor."

- President George H. W. Bush, 1992

I attended the plaque dedication to revolutionary war hero Colonel Seth Warner this morning. The ceremony took place at his original burial spot at the Old Roxbury Road Cemetery in Roxbury. I could not think of a better way to start off the Memorial Day weekend during our Country’s 250th year than by celebrating an American hero from the Revolution. A wreath was also placed by a descendant of Col. Warner. Thank you to the Roxbury Museum Commission and all involved in putting this together.

Last week, I attended a meeting in New Milford with New Milford Mayor Pete Bass, Bridgewater Historian and Land Trust Executive Director Julie Stuart, representatives from DEEP (including Brian Wilson and Lori Paradis Brant), Chuck Kilson and Darlene Kascak of the Schaghticoke Tribal Nation and Gabe Benjamin of the Institute for American Indian Studies. We met to discuss next steps regarding Lovers Leap State Park in New Milford, including the potential of reinstalling a monument to Chief Waramaug. There was also extensive discussion on spreading awareness and creating further education opportunities concerning the Schaghticoke Tribe. This is an effort with local community support. I look forward to further discussions on enhancing educational opportunities, raising awareness, and moving this project along.
