Tim Scott: Why our community center matters

It is just past seven-thirty on a glorious summer morning and already the playground is filling up.  In the background to the right is our Victorian train station, our classic village landmark, and beyond in the mist are the emerging outlines of the near ledges, and the distant Moats, resplendent in their mid-summer best.  Bobbing little heads mix with colorful strollers and parents in bright summer togs, chatting and watching simultaneously, as new parents always do.  Yet another generation of young families has discovered our four season valley, and in turn our gem of a community center right in the middle of town.  Here is the hub of the village, a free and open and welcoming place for young and old to gather and do things together.  A true community center it is; and has always been.
