I wouldn't trust anyone else to do my readings. Lisa is truly amazing and helped me and others out in so many ways possible. She amazes me every time! She is the perfect person to connect Michelle and her family with Amanda.

Is archived footage of the debate not going to be posted to the website? I feel like it absolutely should so that people who were unable to watch the debate in its entirety can view it before the primary. If your program's goal is to promote informed discourse and decision-making, then it behooves you to make it available beyond just a live video stream.

Re: Cynthia Lowen, Producer “Bully”

Roni Benson — Tue, 01 May 2012 15:43:54 -0000

Hello Cynthia
I just saw the documentary BULLY. I think it was amazing to have cameras in the schools and on the school bus to verify the accuracy of this culture of cruelty. It is an important film for parents and children to see but I think it must be shown in school assemblies with followup discussions by professionals and educators who can discuss specific scenes and ask for comments from the audience: what they could have done, what could the school have done, what could the parents have done?
I would really appreciate an opportunity to have a conversation regarding an educational followup to have with students, after viewing the film. We have 15 years of experience in educational programs on bullying for students, teachers and parents. We are also award winning authors of children's books on bullying.
Where could I reach you and when would be convenient to call you? My number is 516 433-9444 or email at ronibenson@gmail.com.
Thanks so much for your excellent work.

Representative Curran So many have contacted your office in the District and Boston for your support of H. 469 to extend the Statute of limitations on sexual abuse for victims and no return calls and/or mailbox full for over 3 weeks. When checking on bills your support this one is not there????

Re: Share your stories of Community Spirit

I'm thankful for the friends I spent time with during and after the great Halloween snowstorm of 2011. I had planned on a party with friends Saturday night in central Mass, and when the news of the storm got to us, they made their party into a slumber party. The lights flickered and the snow was falling, but we ate pizza, looked at travel photos of places that were much warmer and less wet, and talked until 2 AM. Sunday morning, our hosts came down to find four of us, all grownups with real jobs and mortgages and careers, giggling on the sofa under a sleeping bag like college kids in the dorm on a Sunday. We ate breakfast as we watched the snow melt and the trees unbend.

As I was leaving to go back to Holyoke, I got word from other friends that there were lines for gasoline in town, and that I should get gas and ice and milk before returning because my power was almost certainly out. They were right about that! I kept in touch with friends and family that night in the remaining charge on my mobile phone, while my two cats slept on top of me for warmth. The next day, we heard that many restaurants in Hadley were open again, and we met there for lunch to have some warm food. It was a relief to have the lights back on after only 2 nights, but I enjoyed the time with my friends too.

Re: Holyoke Mayoral Candidates

ctroupe — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 20:23:42 -0000

I am a minority female that went to HCC then moved on to UMASS Amherst. I moved after graduating to Connecticut in 04 and recently decided to move back to the area and was very disappointed with the school system in Holyoke which I was looking into for my children. I decided on Westfield being my place of residence. With that said I just so happened to be clicking through the channels and came upon this debate and was very impressed with Alex Morse. He sounds like he genuinely wants to see Holyoke succeed. He also seems to take the time to interact in and with his community. I have friends in Holyoke of different races and will be sure to voice my opinion to them in regards to which candidate, by actions, has shown characteristics of being the perfect cadidate for the Job!!! I do hope he wins!!

Re: The Economy

James Maiewski — Tue, 18 Oct 2011 08:45:38 -0000

Your guest's assertion that most economists feel the the Fed no longer has any role to play in fostering economic growth is wrong both on it's own terms—the Fed could indeed do much more—and also that they should not do so because of the fear of increased inflation. targeting a rise in inflation would be of benefit to an economy trying to reduce debt, and trade imbalances, in addition to whatever direct stimulative effects such a move might make.

Re: Holyoke Casino

Sue — Tue, 10 May 2011 20:22:34 -0000

I think Holyoke would be a fine choice for a casino. However I do not agree with Wyckoff Country Club as it's location.
Too residential and already packed with traffic.
When I drive by Foxwoods with 3 lanes of traffic entering several enterances, I can't imagine how all the traffic would be accomdated for the Holyoke cansino without destroying the current surrounding neighborhoods in the area.

And let's not forget that this property is at the base of Mt Tom Reservation, a true gem in Holyoke, which deserves to be preserved as due the neighborhoods surrounding Wyckoff Park.
