Letter: Barrington Town Council — a lost cause

Posted

To the editor:

Dear Town Council, If we are still talking about geese, and not the needs of student athletes, you are lost.  

If you are talking about building on a dump, and not the obvious “fields” your paid consultants recommended, you are lost.  

If you still believe a synthetic fields decision will overlook underserved members (ex. youth sports), then we all have lost. 

For decades we've paid for evaluations of our fields.  How much money have we lost?

We lost an opportunity with the middle school, and if your approach continues the community and its student-athletes will lose again. 

It’s a shame this effort, and the needs of Barrington student athletes is a lost cause.

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
