A contentious subject since 2011, the property at 820 Farmington Ave has new tenants. Disguised with their traditional masks and hoping that no one will notice that they aren’t paying rent, these furry friends delight thousands of drivers daily when they are stopped at the intersection of Routes 4 &10 in Farmington.

It is unknown if the landlord wants to dispossess the squatters or has served a notice to quit and filed a summons against these trash pandas. The lack of upkeep on the property for the past 12 years seems to indicate the developer embraces entropy.

No need to pay the Town for trash pickup, these little dumpster bandits handle that work on their own. Unfortunately, they may have to relocate if the developer’s most recent plan for the property is passed by Town Planning and Zoning.

It’s another bank.

• HANDLE ALL SIGN-UPS AND SCHEDULING WITHOUT THEIR CHILD’S INPUT
• TAKE PART IN PRACTICES AND GAMES WITH A FOCUS EQUAL TO THAT OF THE COACHES
• TALK ABOUT THEIR CHILD’S PARTICIPATION USING “WE” STATEMENTS
• MAKE THEIR CHILD’S SUCCESS THE PRIMARY SOURCE OF THEIR EGO-GRATIFICATION
• MUTTER ABOUT COACHES, UMPIRES, AND (ESPECIALLY) THAT KID PLAYING FOR FUN, TO AVOID EXPULSION FROM GAMES FOR YELLING
• WRITE STERNLY-WORDED EMAILS TO COACHES AND COPY ALL 30 MEMBERS OF THE LEAGUE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

In order to join this League, parents must provide a physician’s letter proving current pregnancy, pending adoption, or a birth certificate showing a birth-date on or after April 30, 2014.

Upon acceptance to the League, parents will receive a blanket, a onesie, and and a “tummy time” rug of a bear flattened by a line drive.

Children who have aged out of this exceptional program may sign up for Farmington Little League Baseball and Softball,which offers leagues for youths ages 4-16. This program is open to all Farmington Youth regardless of parents’ participation in the Zygotes. Parents of these players will have to accept that development can’t be rushed, that children have to be allowed to develop at their own pace, and that maybe their kid would rather write satire.

“I went to church this morning, my wife cooked me a wonderful Sunday dinner, and I am ready to DESTROY everyone I disagree with online,” said Frank, before a question was even posed.

Retired after 35 years, peaking in corporate mid-level management, and having discovered that he has no other hobbies, Frank enjoys spending his time #researching the latest on the #internet.

“Someone has to let these people #know what’s really going #on,” he continues.

Still no question has been asked.

His wife has left for #HomeGoods because she would rather look at options for a holiday #mantelmakeover than deal with his B.S.

He only has one week to get this out of his #system before he heads back to #church.

At 4:13 a.m. the Farmington Everbridge Emergency and Community Alert System sent the following notification:

“Farmington Ave(Rt.4) closed from West Avon Rd (Rt.167) and Brickyard Rd. This closure is due to a tree and power lines that have fallen across the road. Please seek an alternate route.”

Within minutes the precise location of the downed tree was located by Farmington residents, alternate routes to work were planned. Then the real work began.

What type of tree caused an issue on the already problematic Route 4:  a willow, a Norway maple?  Theories abounded while it was still dark outside and without anyone even getting out of bed.

“It’s got to be a maple,” said Noah Tall, always the first to chime in without any evidence.

Balsam Fir, white spruce, cedar, hemlock, all were considered as potential candidates.  Also, that portion of Route 4 runs close to the Farmington River and tends to be a wet area.  With wind-gusts of up to 65 mph during last night’s storm, the likely cause was windthrow, or the uprooting and overthrowing of trees by the wind.

In the end, it was determined to be a white pine or pinus strobus. “I knew it would be coniferous,” said longtime resident, Louis Root, “The white pine has most of its foliage concentrated at the top and is shallow-rooted.  This makes it easy to topple in high winds.

For tree concerns on Town roads or Town right-of-ways, please call the Highway & Grounds office at 860-675-2550.
