		<description><![CDATA[This is a follow up to the next post down. I cross-posted and was frontpaged on Blue Mass Group. The comments led me to write what follows. I've yet to see any evidence that suggests the South Hadley High School administration addressed bullying&#160;effectively.
High school students can and do commit suicide in spite of school intervention. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[ In the last 10 years, my high school has had one suicide. It was the worst experience I've had in the last 17 years of teaching. A ethnic Italian with a close circle of friends and relatives, Franco's death had emotional ripples throughout the community. The morning after his death I looked on as his normally happy, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[There's nothing left to do but congratulate Scott Brown on a well-run campaign and well-earned earned victory. It's unlikely he'll make decisions I agree with, but give credit where it's&#160;due.
At this point, I'm more interested in the why's than anything else, and since I can't do anything to change the Republican Party, I'm focusing on [...]]]></description>

As an elected official, I have more inside information on town goings on, but less authority to post [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The filibuster--the 60 vote requirement to shut off debate--isn't in the Constitution. It isn't in the Declaration of Independence. Or the Bill of Rights. It's a rule the Senate itself has adopted.  The filibuster rule allows some measure of power to the minority party in the Senate, allowing it to block appointments and legislation. It's [...]]]></description>

GRANBY - Now that Thanksgiving has passed, the Murphy family's Stoneyhill Tree Farm on West State Street has begun its weekend sales of Christmas&#160;trees.
The family has sold trees on its 13-acre farm since [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Granby residents living in South Hadley’s Fire District #2 are understandably frustrated with paying for both Granby and South Hadley for emergency services. Once upon a time, the amount of money paid to South Hadley was small. Now, however, Granby residents pay South Hadley anywhere from $300 to $800 year for these services.
