So, the select- man unanimously adopted the current boundary line. “The previous survey wasn’t even filed properly,” said Selectman Chandler Paquette. “It’s just a boundary line, not a land transfer,” said Selectman D. Mitchell Eaffy. “The town has definitely done due diligence in researching the boundary line.” A man’s home Now, the Planning and Zoning Commission has 65 days to render a decision on the development.

BY BENJAMIN R. KIPP VILLAGER SPORTS CORRESPONDENT WOODSTOCK — Two years ago Adam Converse did it; this year it’s Brady Matteau’s turn. Every year the Hit, Pitch and Run Competitions sweep across the country for youngsters between the ages of 8 through 14, and only a select few do good enough to contin- ue on. For starters, a local competition was held in the three categories (hit, pitch and run) where scores are based on time, accuracy and dis- tance pertaining to the specific event. Since Matteau came in first in the running part of the local competition, he was able to move on to sectionals, which were held in Woodstock. At the sectional event, Matteau left his compe- tition in the dust in his 14-year old division. “He came in first overall and he had to be first overall to advance,” said his mother Diane. After the sectional competition, his score Shea. “It all went by pretty fast, but it was a lot of Courtesy photos was good enough (top four scores with kids “When we got told about the Shea thing, fun during that time,” said Brady.

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

It´s one of the oldest tricks in the book. Hide your valuables in a plain package and it reduces the likelihood they will be stolen. (The converse is true. Wrap up something you want stolen in a gift pack- age and it´s bound to disappear.) The jewellers that ply their trade in the Diamond District of New York do this all the time. They travel the streets of Manhattan with millions of dollars in jewels stored in nothing more secure than a brown paper bag. They succeed in their mission because nobody pays attention to them. Unfortunately, Lincoln has done the same thing with the all-new 2009 Lincoln MKS. It´s a great car that´s wrapped in a plain package. The designers say it´s a tribute to the Lincoln tradition, but it fails to make the car standout – except when one passes you. For some reason, I find this car stunningly attractive from the rear. I spent the good portion of a day recently in front of, alongside, and behind the new From most angles, the 2009 Lincoln MKS is a less-than-stunning vehicle but don´t let that stop you from considering one for purchase.
