Editorial

I am finishing up this edition from my office in Connecticut.

When I left Stuart earlier in the week we were having some spectacular days. When I arrived here there were beautiful sunny days interspersed with cold rainy ones. In both locations you realized we were on the cusp of summer. Since I go back and forth so often all year long, I have my Connecticut summer and my Florida one. They are both hot and humid at times.

In this edition we explain Stuart’s conundrum with a large rehabilitation center entering a defunct assisted living. The adventures of The Ranch being approved at the county. Sewall’s Point discussing a dedicated source to maintaining the millions in dollars that they have spent on storm water. And my pet peeve of the Indiantown Council completely incapable of making a motion.

As usual we have our wonderful columnists. Maybe you have noticed that Darlene VanRiper is writing more than her column for us. Occasionally she writes articles, including one this week on School Superintendent Michael Maine that already appeared on our Facebook page, but we have republished it here.

The larger our footprint becomes the more help I will need. We would like to expand our stable of columnists. If you are interested drop me a line.

So, on this first Sunday in May have a happy one as you read today’s Friends & Neighbors.
