Ribbon-cutting ceremony for fountain in Lippitt Park is June 4
Due to scheduling issues, the ribbon-cutting for the Henry Bowen Anthony fountain in Lippitt Park has been moved to June 4 at 11am. This is even better timing than originally planned, as it coincides with the first day of the farmer’s market in the park for the season.
Among others, Mayor Taveras is expected to speak at this event. We will also feature a live music performance by Gordon School’s The G-Notes.
Come out and enjoy the (hopefully) nice weather, and celebrate the re-opening of the fountain. We hope you can make it!

Heated Congressional debate at the JCC last night
Despite a small turnout (about twenty in attendance) the 1st District US Congressional candidates went toe-to-toe last night in a friendly – yet quite heated at times – debate sponsored by the SNA at the JCC last night.
Moderated by neighbor Dan Cahill, the evening began with each candidate introducing themselves to the audience in a two-minute speech. Each then answered a slew of questions on wide-ranging topics including jobs creation, healthcare, Social Security, Iran nuclear armament, trade with China, war in Afghanistan, President Obama’s handling of the Gulf oil spill, and immigration.
Questions were prepared ahead of time by SNA members, and also submitted at the door by the arriving audience. Questions were also submitted using Twitter. Following the formal time for submitted questions, the floor opened up to questions from the audience.
The debate heated up at various times, perhaps most notably when a question was asked in regards to the candidates running negative campaigns. Each candidate denied participating in negative campaigning, and one audience member used his question time to disagree.
The evening ended with each candidate making a closing statement and thanking SNA for hosting.

That includes Democrat David Cicilline, Republican John Loughlin II, Independent Gregory Raposa, and Independent Kenneth Capalbo.
And on October 19 at 7pm we’ll have those running for State House and Senate. Both events will be held at the Jewish Community Center (JCC) on Elmgrove.
