I just read the “insider story”. “In The Community: The Town Beach no longer has lifeguards on duty this summer.” Can you believe that one of the agenda items is to renew the contract with the Town Manager? Why would Selectmen even consider this? If with 20 million dollars in the bank of free cash, the manager can’t figure out a way to staff a beach then I do not believe he deserves a reappointment. Why are fire fighters not staffing the beach as life guards (with radios)? All fire fighters should be certified in CPR and qualified and physically able to perform water rescues. If there is an emergency then they can be reached by radio. Many of the Towns in the country have volunteer fire departments. I believe leadership is needed at the Town Hall.
