Bismillah ar-Rahman ar-Rahim. As-salamu alaikum my dearest respected viewers. Hello and welcome to the 28th episode of the Treaties of Rights series with me or host Ali Jassim. Today we will discuss the right of him who asks from you. Regarding this Mamsa Jadzin, al-Abdina alayhi as-salam has said, and the right of him who asks from you is that you should grant him his request if you are certain that he is honest and you are able to fulfill his need. You should also pray to God to relieve him from what has befallen upon him and help him fulfill his needs. But if you doubt his honesty and he already has been accused of dishonesty but you are not convinced about this you will not be sure whether this is one of the plots of Satan who is trying to deprive you of your fortune and cause a blockage between you and your approach to your Lord. Then you should leave him and overlook and should turn him down gently. But if you can overcome yourself in this respect and grant him what he has asked for despite what is presented to you regarding him then this is due to your resolution in the conduct of affairs. Islamic teachings greatly emphasize on giving a helping hand to the needy. In the Holy Quran it says, believe in Allah and his messenger and spend in charity out of the substance whereof he has made you heirs. For those of you who believe and spend in charity for them is a great reward. Charity is one of those actions that both ends are benefiting, the giving and receiving end. We understand how the receiving end is benefited but how is the one giving benefiting? When a person gives unconsciously feeling of content and happiness will arise and research conducted by the National Institutes of Health participants who chose to donate a portion of a hundred dollars they were provided enjoyed activated pleasure centers in the brain. When giving to others you're adding more meaning to your life you're inspiring your friends and families to also help the needy and most importantly if you have children you're teaching them an extremely valuable lesson. In the Holy Quran Allah SWT says and spend something in charity out of the substance which we have bestowed on you before death should come to any of you and he should say oh my lord why didst thou not give me respite for a little while I should then have given largely in charity and I should have been one of the doers of good. Mam Ali the commander of the faith who says the fuel of hell in the day of judgment is every person who is ungenerous with the poor and every religious scholar who sold his religion for worldly pleasures. Islam stresses that giving charity increases sustenance. The Holy Prophet of Islam Muhammad peace and blessings be upon him is pure progeny says attract sustenance by giving charity. Imam Ja'far Sadiq alaihi salam says that everything has a key and the key to sustenance is charity. In the Holy Quran Allah SWT says the person who lends to Allah a good lending will receive many times Sheikh Kulaini in his book Al-Kafi relates the following tradition from Imam Ja'far Sadiq alaihi salam. Cure you're sick by giving Sadaqah or charity and remove troubles or mishaps by giving charity and increase sustenance with charity. Charity banishes 70 shaitans from what is within one's beard and charity goes on to the hand of Allah before it goes on to the hand of the needy. Once Abu Abdullah alaihi salam asked his son how much money he had his son replied that he had only 40 dirhams. Abu Abdullah asked his son to give it all away in the way of Allah. His son was hesitant and said that it was the only meager amount he possessed. His father replied that charity was the key to sustenance. Shortly after having given the amount in charity the Imam's son got 4,000 dirhams. The Imam alaihi salam said to his son oh son we we gave Allah 40 dirhams and he gave us 4,000. Through this we can evidently conclude that charity is greatly recommended by Allah SWT. It helps the person giving more than the person receiving. Time for a quick short break. Stay tuned. Welcome back. As Muslims we should always strive to help those in need. There is something that is greatly presented and demonstrated through the actions of the Prophet, peace be upon him and his pure progeny and the Ahlul Bayt alayhi salam. The Holy Prophet peace and blessings be upon him and his pure progeny said ask questions from the learned, speak with the wise and associate with the poor. Imam Amir al-Mumin alaihi salam said the cause of the cessation of one's wealth is leaving the needy heedless. The Imam also said the Holy Prophet alaihi salam narrated from Allah the Exalted on the night of Ascent who said oh Ahmed my love is the loving of the poor. Bring the poor nearer to yourself and situate them close to yourself in order that I approach you. Imam Sadr alaihi salam said whoever satiates a hungry believer so that the one is satisfied fully neither a human being among people nor a near stationed angel nor a divine messenger knows how great his reward is in the hereafter except Allah the Lord of the worlds. Then he added fearing a hungry Muslim is from among the means of forgiveness after that he recited the word of Allah Almighty the glorious or the fearing on a day of hunger of an orphan near of kin or to the indigent down to the dust. Surat al-Balad number 90 verses 14 to 16. Now if you know the person does not deserve you gently reject them without causing any hurt or hard feelings. Individuals should feel humble when someone asks from them.  Through the holy Quran and through the actions of the Prophet peace be upon him and the imams alayhi salam one can certainly conclude that they were the true embodiment of humbleness. The cordiality and humility of Imam Zayn al-Abdina alayhi salam was well known among the residents of Medina. He used to deal with his slaves and maids also in the most cordial and gentle way. His behavior with his slaves was such that strangers failed to recognize which of them were the master and which one the slave. One day a father son duo from Khurasan came to meet the Imam. When it was time for the dinner the Imam moved forward to wash the hands of the guests. But he said, O son of messenger of Allah I will not allow this. The Imam said it is my duty. Why do you want me to be deprived of its rewards? Thus the Imam did not agree and at last washed his hands. After that he ordered Imam Muhammad al-Baghra alayhi salam to wash the son's hands. Here the Imam alayhi salam didn't see himself above anyone just because he was an Imam. On the contrary he saw himself just like everyone else even to the point where people didn't even recognize him. It is not only from the life of Zain al-Abdina alayhi salam that humbleness is portrayed but also through the actions of all the other Imams. All his life ma'am Musa al-Kawam alayhi salam never spoke with anyone in a harsh manner. He would never hurt the feelings of the others. He used to meet every high and low person in a humble way and he fulfilled the needs of people with utmost sincerity. Pride and arrogance was never seen in his behavior. And the Holy Quran says, Verily Allah has revealed to me that you must be humble towards one another so that no one wrongs another or boasts to another. Through this it's quite evident that humbleness is of great magnitude. It is through humbleness that we get closer to Allah spiritually. Also one should have humility when coming across any circumstance in that nature. Humility is to respect people according to their value and to not see themselves above them. It is to be considered as a great manner and is of great gravitation and truly deserves admiration. Allah has ordered the Prophet Muhammad peace be upon him and to hear a progeny with humility in the Holy Quran. Allah said and lower your wing to those who follow you of the believers. The Harib-e-Aliya Muslim have also greatly emphasized on the importance of humility and one can realize this through their actions what they say and their daily life. Ma'am al-Sadiq alayhi salam has said on the day of judgment there are two groups of people.   Ma'am al-Sadiq alayhi salam has said it is good for the rich to show humility before the poor to seek reward from Allah but better than that is the haughtiness of the poor towards the rich with trust in Allah. We have reached the end of this episode stay tuned for another episode on the treatise of right series. Thank you all for watching and may Allah hasten and be the appearance of our beloved Ma'am al-Mahdi Wassalamu Alaikum warahmatullahi wabarakatuh


what's up guys take down here and today I'm going to be talking about and giving my opinions on the WWE Hall of Fame class of 2018 I'm really excited of who's getting inducted this year I think they all deserve it in some way shape or form so to start things off I'm going to share who's getting inducted in this year if you haven't already heard or seen and that is start things off we have ivory we have hillbilly jim jeff jaret jj is getting the warrior award we have the deli boys mark henry goldberg and for the celebrity induction this year we have kid rock so I'm going to talk about kid rock first just because I'm really happy and a lot of people don't like the celebrity wing I'm not a fan of it most of the time most years but this year I'm a really happy that it's kid freaking rock so kid rock the reason I'm happy that it's kid rock going in this year he performed at my favorite WrestleMania WrestleMania 25 back then I had phases with my musicians so that year was kid rock and he performed at WrestleMania that was back whenever I was heavily in the WrestleMania and by far we had Hardy versus Hardy we had the triple threat for the world heavyweight championship all in all was a great pay-per-view a great WrestleMania and I'm really glad that kid rock is going in this year he has I think had more songs for wrestling pay-per-views for WWE pay-per-views than any other artist so to me he's deserving of it I know other years there's some people that get inducted in the celebrity wing that don't deserve it but this year I really believe he deserves it more than anybody he was actually a prediction I made a few years ago of future celebrity wing hall of famers for the WWE so I'm really happy that it has come true a lot of the hall of famers this year I don't have too many memorable moments in their career mostly some of them would be because I never started watching until either after their career or near the end of their career to start things off that would be ivory I don't know anything or much about ivory other than she lost the women's championship to the great mula I believe making great mula the oldest person to win a WWE championship in the in her late 70s so that's pretty cool but I don't know anything other than that about her hillbilly gym I do know a little bit I do like his matches I have watched some of them but I don't have too many memorable moments in my opinion that really stay strong with me but I still believe he deserves to be in the hall of fame nonetheless Jeff Jarrett this year almost every year there's a inductee that is a shocker to us fans this year Jeff Jarrett was my shocker mainly because he is the creator of WWE one of WWE's biggest rivalries brand rivalries would be TNA and he also has global force wrestling so I don't know if he's still in charge running them it was kind of odd that WWE inducted him this year he did do great things back in the day when he was in the WWE it just seems like an odd placement this year in the WWE Hall of Fame for 2018 I like it but it just seems odd to me and I don't remember too many matches of him when he was in the WWE I mostly remember when he was in TNA but I so I can't say much about him next up we have the Dudley boys which I'm glad WWE is I don't know kind of remembering ECW guys guys that performed well in ECW as well as WWE because the Dudley boys in my opinion are one of my favorite tag teams of all time love them when they're in ECW now I love them whenever they made their return when bubble rate Dudley made his return to the Royal Rumble and then they made a return I don't remember them winning the tag team championships that would have been fun I would really wish I would have seen that but I do remember in a live show because I've seen this on Facebook whenever it happens during a live show back whenever Devon Dudley retired in the ring he's stated that he was retiring I predicted that in the future of course are going to go in the Hall of Fame they are amazing a great tag team they've had tons of titles and they had a great run so I'm really happy they're going in this year we also have in my opinion actually I'm going to say that my opinion for last of who I think I love this year the most that's going in the Hall of Fame so I will stay Goldberg next I don't remember him too much the only matches I remember while I was watching WWE is when he returned to win the Universal Championship before that I think was to face Brock Lesnar at Survivor Series I think that's when they faced the first time so back then is whenever I whenever that happened in 2016 that's what I remember the most whenever he made his return because back whenever he was in the WWE and WCW I wasn't into wrestling I never watched wrestling back then hell I might not have even been born at the time so I don't remember his highlights so much I never started watching wrestling until the early 0708 so he wasn't around then but I'm glad he made a return I think he deserves it in my opinion I just don't remember him too much to have a memorable moment yet again but the person which you guys probably guessed already who I saved for last that I just I just really think they deserve to be in the Hall of Fame I predicted this years ago I was actually going to make a video like this saying who I think will be in the Hall of Fame and he was already on that list but I didn't get to record that yet and that is Mark Henry now Mark Henry I'm so excited he's getting in the Hall of Fame this year he let his in-ring contract run out I believe kind of like Big Show did kind of like Finley did back in the day and to become a WWE producer so I'm happy that he still has a role in the WWE he has been inducted into the sports Hall of Fame for his weightlifting he started in the Olympics he has more records broken like in strongman competitions than anybody else that I would even be able to list so he's had a great run in the WWE and back whenever he got signed after being out of the Olympics WWE signed him to the biggest contract back in the day that I've ever seen and it's probably going to hold to this day I'd have to go and double check that but he had a 10-year contract offered to him as soon as he joined the WWE that's what WWE signed him to a 10-year contract which back in the day at least to my knowledge nobody got big contracts like that most of the time they got like a two or three-year contract Mark Henry one of my favorite people I liked him when he's faced I liked him when he's healed I liked him when he teamed with MVP I liked him when he created and still has the Hall of Pain he's just one of the creators and one of the wrestlers that really embraces character but he's nice in the public he's not an ass or anything like that he's an amazing person became the world champion and I just have so many more memorable moments with Mark Henry watching him over the years than anybody else getting inducted this year so that's why Mark Henry is my top inductee for the 2018 WWE Hall of Fame I will see you guys in the next video please take care comment down below who should be in next year's Hall of Fame so I'm going to make a protection video after Mania for that because I have so much on the go right now I just don't have time to make a video like that and comment who you don't believe should be inducted this year in the 2018 Hall of Fame that has already been decided that they're going in this year take care peace


There's a lot of misleading information and even stereotypes out there about self-harming and this can lead to many not taking it seriously. There have even been cases where people dismiss other people's suffering simply because they're self-injuring. So, here are 13 things people who self-harm want you to know. Before we begin, we'd like to warn that the following content may be triggering to some audiences. If you feel uncomfortable about this topic on self-harm, you may want to stop and watch another video instead. We would also like to mention that this video is created for educational purposes only and is not intended to substitute a professional diagnosis. If you are self-harming or know somebody who is, we highly advise you to seek help from a qualified mental health professional. Number one. Self-harm doesn't mean wanting to die.  Those who want to continue living injure themselves for many other reasons. Two. To feel something other than numbness. The problem with depression and other forms of mental disorders is the experience of numbness. Depending on how long this has been happening, people may become desperate to feel something. They may resort to self-harm to feel pain, even if it's on a physical level. Three. The scars on their body don't give you the permission to ask what happened. Just because you can see their scars doesn't mean they want to talk about it. For some people, scars are a visual reminder of the pain they went through. The last thing they want to do is talk about it, especially with strangers. Four. Self-injury isn't always a call for attention. One stereotype is that people who hurt themselves, especially cutters, are seeking attention. While there may be some out there who want it and use it as a cry for help, there are also those who don't want the attention. In fact, many hide their scars or self-harm in areas that are difficult to notice. Five. It's a distraction from emotional pain. People who are in abusive situations, coping with trauma or having difficulties managing their emotions, may end up relying on self-injury to distract themselves from the anguish they feel. It can allow them to focus on something else, temporarily. Six. It's a means of punishment. There are some who feel guilty, ashamed, or upset with themselves. They may believe that whatever is happening to them is their fault, and to cope with this, they harm themselves as a means of self-punishment. Seven. Self-injury helps solidify emotional pain. There are some people who may feel overwhelmed by their emotions, or even feel weird and confused about them. So they hurt themselves as a symbol of their pain. It's a way of confirming that what they're going through is real. Eight. It's a reminder of the future. Some hurt themselves during specific moments in their lives. They may leave visible scars as a reminder of what they've gone through and have endured. This helps them have a sense of security for what's yet to come. Nine. Self-harm doesn't always equal cutting. Although cutting is quite common and is what's mostly shown in movies and television shows, there are other forms of self-harm. Burning, picking at your skin, hair-pulling, and head-banging are some examples. Ten. Teenagers aren't the only ones who self-harm. Self-harm is often depicted in media as common in teenage girls. People who self-injure can be of any age, race, sexual orientation, or from any economic or social background. Eleven. It's a way of self-control. People who are struggling in situations out of their control can feel trapped and overwhelmed, so they may injure themselves as a way to cope. In their mind, harming themselves gives them a sense of control from everything that is happening around them. Twelve. It's addictive, and it isn't easy to stop. Those who have never injured themselves may believe self-harming is easy to quit, but people who have relied on self-injury for a long time can become addicted. The reason behind their self-harming can make it difficult to stop. In fact, those who are addicted can relapse during stressful situations. And thirteen. Self-harming doesn't equal depression. Most of society believes people who self-injure are depressed, and although it can be common for those with clinical depression, you do not need to be depressed to hurt yourself. It can be a response to trauma or other mental disorders like obsessive-compulsive disorder and eating disorders. If you relate to this video, we want you to know that you're not alone, and there's always someone to reach out to. We've provided a list of help lines in the description below. Self-harming is no laughing matter and should never be taken lightly. Some resources for help are added in the description box below, and if you found this video helpful, be sure to like and share this video with those who might benefit from it. Thanks for watching, and we'll see you in the next video.


This video is part two of composition of functions. Alright, now some fun with some graphs. Remember we use this value in for Q. Those two things go together. So I come into Q, Q is pink by the way, I come over to negative 4, that's the input. So negative 4 is my input and Q of negative 4 is going to be equal to, Q is down here so I have negative 4. So that means that I'm going to do P of negative 4. So I'm still at negative 4 and go back up to negative 4 because now that's my input and I go and find my P function and it tells me that it's equal to positive 4, that's a positive 4. So let's try again. Okay, so Q of 1, I come over here and Q of 1 down here is 1, 2, 3, negative 3. So now I need to say P of negative 3 and so I go, X is now negative 3, the input, it's a 1, 2, 3 and I find, go to the blue and come down here and it's right here so that would be negative 1. Alright, let's try another one. P of 7, you can put a function within itself. So P of 7, so I come over here to 7 and the P is the blue. That's equal to 6 and then that means that I want to find P of 6 because remember this goes in here and P of 6, 4, 5, 6 is going to give me a value of 2. P of 2 is going to be P is the blue. I come to 2 and the X and I go up to the blue and it looks like 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. So now I have to do Q of 5 because again remember this number becomes the input of the first function. I come over to 5 and I look at the Q and it's going to be equal to 6. Finally I have Q of negative 1, so X is negative 1, Q is the pink one, so that's equal to 3 and then I need to do Q of 3 because again this 3 becomes that 3 and Q of 1, 2, 3 looks like 1, 2, 3, negative 3. Alright, I think we have one more thing to do and that's to look at a story problem. So due to a light and strike a force prior brings a burn and is spreading outward in a shape that is roughly circular, the radius of the circle is modeled by the function r of t equal to 2t, t is in minutes, r is in meters. So find the radius of the circle after 2 minutes for the radius that be r of 2 and that would be 2 times 2 so it's going to be 4 meters since r is in meters. In a sense it says find the area of the circle, well you need to know the area is equal to pi r squared. We have 2 is our radius so it's pi times 2 times 2 as the radius squared the area would be to 16 pi with meters squared. So now I want to write the function a of r of t. I'm going to call it a of t. That means I'm going to end the a function. I'm going to put in the r and remember r up here is 2t. I have pi and then I'm going to put my r in there and I'm going to square it. My r in there is 2t. So if I simplify it I'm going to have 2 squared is 4, t squared is t squared times pi and that would be my a. So now I want to use this function to find the area of the circle in 2 minutes. a is equal to 4 times 2 squared times pi. That's 4 times 4 which is 16 pi meters squared. Notice that's really what we did above. First we figured out the radius and then we figured out the area using that same value. We can do it separately or we can make it one function with compositions which is a little bit easier to use. Okay, one more composition question. On a trip to Europe, Megan had to convert American dollars to euros and she had this function. X is number of dollars, the function is equivalent to number of euros and then later she does it with Japanese yen using the functions that you see there. So the first part asks us just to convert the hundred dollars to euros to remember X is a number of equivalent dollars. So we just have E of 100 and that will be equal to 1.12 times 100. You multiply by 100 you move the decimal to places. So that's equal to 112 euro. So now the one is to convert our answer which was 112 in part a to Japanese yen and that's this equation here. So we have Y of 112 is equal to 1061 times 112 and when we do that we end up with a lot of yen. 1, 1, 8, 8, 3, 2, 118, 832 yen. We see now we want to express yen as a function of dollars. So yen doing this one is we have M of X, let's start there. So M of X is equal to and then we have the yen function which says 1061 times but we have to plug in there the E function which is 1.12X. So M of X is going to be equal to 1188.32X. So remember that number because we're going to need to use it here. M of X is equal to 1188.32X and we want to convert the dollars and remember come back to here. We have this is a function of dollars so that means that this X is going to be dollars. So we want M of 100. When you multiply by 100 you move the decimal to places and you get 118,832 and do the answers agree? Yes they do.


It's May 8th at 6.15 or so and we've posted the agenda in three places and on the website and emailed interested parties so we can move forward with this meeting and we have prior meeting minutes from the April 10th select board meeting and I found one correction when we were talking about adopting a lower speed limit for Bethel from Bethel Mountain from Middle Hollow Road to the Bethel Town Line. We didn't adopt it then we were just progressing to warn and start the process towards adopting it so I'd make that one modification and I didn't see any other corrections. I didn't either. Alright so I've moved to approve those minutes. Second. All in favor. Alright. Okay and then we have the minutes from the April 24th meeting where I was not present so I'll let you guys say whether you're not here to approve those. I have a wait these minutes over they are accurate and if Frank agrees with me. They second it. All in favor. Alright. I. I wasn't there. Alright we had on the agenda the guest Bruce Marshall and Janine where are they online or not in the room so I guess we'll table that for now and move on for a application for use of the town park and this is for the recreational cycling event the Vermont Grand Fondo and this would be on 624 and from 10 to 6 and riders start in Bristol and ride through Rochester as part of a larger group. Going through this before I don't see any problem with. I'm losing the town the park. This is a park application yeah. You got it. Actually no this is for use of the Lyons Club Park they're not going to use the main park so I. That's for the Lyons Club. Seconded. All in favor. I. I have requested that John put a couple loads of crusher on that. In that parking lot down there at the base because it's getting pretty longed it up. Alright. So he'll get to it when he can I guess I'll remind him again to do it before this date would be good I think. Alright so the next item on the agenda is adopting so we're is this still ready to adopt the amended ordinance now we've warned it enough this is the correction I was making to the minutes on the 10th and so this is a notice of amendment of speed limit on Bethel Mountain Road ordinance. So on May 10th the select board of the town of Rochester Vermont adopted or started the adoption process to amendments to the existing ordinance affecting the speed limit on a portion of Bethel Mountain Road pursuant to 24 VSA sections 1971 through 76 this notice is published pursuant to 24 VSA 1972 to inform the public of these amendments and the citizen's right to petition for a vote to disapprove of these amendments which we did not receive did we no so people seem to so the full text of the ordinance may be examined at the Rochester town office at 67 school street and during regular business hours so this is this is a notice for the paper that's going to go into the paper and actually it says May 10th yeah I'll change it to May 8th okay yeah so I don't think this is anything that we need to move to approve we're just going to sign it so it's a proper thing to go in the paper well can I ask you a question who is this Robert yeah how are you doing good good what's your question the question is what's the actual status with the V trans and the state with regards to the Bethel Mountain Road speed limit like we you guys just put forth that's um it's there that's a town determined speed limit so the V trans is there so their status is it's not their road well that's what I was trying to put forth to Frank Severe and you guys and Mr Bump that's exactly what uh Teresa and Bethel experienced all of a sudden it's not their jurisdiction do you know I have to I have to just share this with everyone there are people that ride bicycles that exceed the 50 mile an hour speed limit on Bethel Mountain Road so you might want to think about that but I did I shared this in the last meeting regarding changing reducing speed limits in the state of Vermont is a big task yes that's the process that we're we're in step two where I'm step two of that now that the notice is going into the paper so we're we're aware of the the process and and doing it properly yeah so with regards to Frank's concern about it is there any are there any minutes that he can share that with conversations regarding uh V Trans Mr Bump and the state and the town regarding what's actually going to happen because I don't think the speed limit will be reduced by law in the conversations we've had with Chris Bump there I've had with Chris Bump is we have to go through the process we did a traffic study on a year ago and we go through the Regional Planning Commission on the process of lowering it which is just basically we do the traffic study they accept the traffic study as being done and putting changing the speed limit on a road does not guarantee that people are going to drive that speed limit it just guarantees that that is the limit posted so that if there's law enforcement and somebody's going 60 miles an hour in a 40 they'll get a ticket this was done to help with possibly alleviating some of the truck traffic that goes there and that's the reason why we're doing this our car is going to drive 40 miles an hour probably not but that's not something that we can control every driver has the right to drive whatever speed they want to go they're going to do it there is a limit on what the law says they can do we control the speed limit there but there are ways that we have to go about getting it changed it used to be 40 miles an hour years ago and they upped it to 50 because some somebody complained that they wanted to commute to Randolph and they wanted to drive 50 and so they allowed it to happen in the past but we're doing it so that to try to help alleviate some of the truck traffic that goes over that mountain and that's why we're doing it well cars drive it i doubt it you know that was something we talked about and chris bump and i talked about that too so you know we're we're just doing it so hopefully the gps people will put it in there in their information where it may deed your trucks from going over there that's really why we're doing it well frank i totally respect what you just shared because uh uh all my neighbors along the Bethel mountain road uh uh the mackin tires all the they're you know it's it's the intention is great but i don't understand how uh dun mentioned that the uh reduction of speed limit has been from what i understood or gleaned is that the state has nothing to do with it is that my is that correct or not on the class two road we have jurisdiction over it but there's a process we have to follow in order to do what we're doing we have to justify it for one in the in the real justification is our neighbor in Bethel they have a full 40 posted speed limit and it's a continual road so we feel that the 40 is a limit there and all the powers that be agreed with us so that's why we're looking at it that way well you know that's a very logical conversation and by the way i don't want to hold up the rest of the meeting dune might have to get home to dinner but um it's just it's a discussion frank the uh my stomach grumbling can you hear that from on the aisle minus i don't think it's proper for a select board member to sit back and laugh about uh serious concern about a town and um i'm going to just say i'm just going to say good evening they say that to you you don't quote so good night thank you good okay um where was i um we have an application for second class liquor license for sandy's seasons books in bakery llc so i'd move to prove that now second all in favor right okay this is um and we have a bunch of applications for liquor licenses tonight number seven is the same for the village grocery and liquor incorporated which i believe is the new owners of the max market so that's good news to everybody that that was a pretty quick transition from a closing store to an opening store so i'd gladly move to approve that i'm glad we second it all in favor yeah and i think they're gonna i'm trying to turn that around um pretty quick yeah pretty shortly right yeah great okay and we also have approval for a second class this is a tobacco license for the village grocery and liquor all in favor all right okay and number number nine we have another application for the use of the park and this is for a library program for children about climate change appropriate to do it outside and maya newer is doing that and that would be on the 20th of this month main from nine to 11 so i'd move to approve that second all in favor all right agenda but the state has extended um licensing for liquor licenses right now that are trying to process everything through because of the they're doing it all on portal now oh yeah so i added these two because they came in today they came in today all right so the um this is an application for outside consumption permit for the rochester cafe which i would move to approve my second all in favor all right yeah and also from the same entity uh first class restaurant license from the cafe and i would move to approve that second all in favor all right so is that new that they have a restaurant license i know we've done a lot of liquor licenses in the past so now they're serving uh serving inside at the cafe is that right that's a first that's not that's a restaurant one yeah that's a restaurant yeah i just don't know about there are like what their hours are on that one okay probably should check all right that's new excuse me please um what was the exact wording it said restaurant license but wasn't there another word with that or something and then held our dining this is um basically just a first class um restaurant license okay so first class restaurant so it was an outside consumption permit and a first class restaurant a license for both for the cafe yeah because they'll serve okay wine they'll be able to serve their wine plus it's a health license for the serving food yes okay and so there's three of them then nope just two just yeah the restaurant license is that that health license yeah okay thank you yep sorry i didn't quite hear thank you no problem no problem the um um Tony from the library have you got something to read for us something to read we have a trustees meeting tomorrow at 5 30 at the library and just a sort of reminder that coming up in the next couple of weeks the great decisions program will will start that's been on the paper several times all right yeah thank you yeah um frank you got anything you want to share from the highway not too much so the street sweeper zooming around town today yep we had this had the street sweeper when he's done a bunch quite a few roads he's graded and i noticed already which is good we're basically looking forward he's kind of holding out for the grant application for class two on the beffa mountain road which we're hoping we get that so they could complete that work up there and that's about it he's back on the four-day weeks um 10-hour days the crew uh and that's about it and we have it yes thank you for reminding me that i had it written down here too um yeah there is a meeting on the bridge on the 11th i've asked john to sit in with that we meet with the the contractor and the the west cell bridge yeah this is for the west of rich yeah thank you um yeah we'll meet with the contractor and the uh jason keener the the designer and also with the brian austin the government and they have chosen somebody to be there at all times we have put out feelers for doing the compaction testing as the town would take that on as our side of the project uh to save a little money off the original bid but we haven't really got the details on all that yet so when we do we'll bring that out but the details are not there yet so we'll wait on that we're trying to save a little money and then julie and i'll be sitting down sometime after probably the middle maybe a couple weeks when she's freeze up a little bit and i'm not quite so busy uh to look for some phones to help alleviate some of the costs there for us if we can find them that'd be great yeah see um terry's not here on the utilities but um jeff i see her online as the energy coordinator if you got any anything for us tonight uh yes good evening um in two weeks the energy committee is going to be coming back to the board um to request a location and a date um actually we're going to propose a date but we will check with the uh the town um to see what is open what dates are open but we'll be looking for a location for an electric vehicle demonstration day either june or july and we will want to have a celebration of the charging facility in town as well yep they're making progress on that they've poured the pad the pedestal for it and have some piping the conduit ready and talking with the gmp today they think they're going to be ready around labor day um so we'd like a little bit of time after that and you know ideally the park would be most visible location we could probably also do something that the old ball field too but i'll look at conflicts and dates and we'll come back with specific request on that um with the library i think we really need to push back um to with historical preservation so that we can do the repair job properly i know i burdened you all with a very long email um depending my frustrations with that issue but getting a working weather-resistant barrier around the building is the only way to take care of it and then the other thing that i bring up to the board is that the energy committee is going to collaborate or is collaborating with randolph and with bevel on what's called window dressers window dressers are it's a non-profit out of main that helps communities offer low income and people with no incomes municipalities and businesses with inexpensive interior storm inserts that will add two more layers of the wind protection and the small amount of insulation and i will make sure that we measure the town buildings and give you the option as to going ahead and doing that with the town facilities that could benefit from it that's that's what's uh perk and now because those window insert sets we're going to be looking at it for town buildings but that's something that's just open to the general public to i presume yes yes we are going to try to recruit people and through the five towns of the root 100 valley i'm here and we will be talking to all of the um municipalities and also working through the food shelf to get to folks that have needs there with low income installations they can be done for free provided that someone either the recipient or someone for the recipient helps in the volunteer side of things with the actual build and the actual build is going to be in duffel they've got the best facility for it so are these open to bull at all or are they just uh something you put in in the winter that seals your window shut there there's something you insert from the inside in the winter and then you just pull them back out they're friction fit with a gasket material and you pull them out when it's ready to open letters plexiglass or something no it's a pine frame it can be painted white and it's uh there's a oh i'm blanking on the plastic type but it's the plastic type that you see meat packages wrapped in or vegetables in so that you can really see very clearly through it it's not a six mil cloudy kind of plastic thing okay so plastic yeah and it wraps the frame so that you wind up with two layers okay um interesting well thank you okay thank you um i see pristan's not here do we have any grant update info from her not tonight um just one thing on the energy the ev chargers are down there uh they've installed two uh separate uh ev chargers they're both level three which is the rapid charge and that's what they're putting in they were originally going to put a level two and in a level three but it's more expensive to put the level two in than it is to put the level three in so so they just put two level threes down there and they're hoping that either this week or next week they'll be operational so they're they're moving on with that they finally got everything together and talking with the guy today he was figured they'd be set they're hoping to have it done this week but you know depend on when the power company can energize yet get all the inspections done in the testing and so they'll there's still a little work to do but it'll be within a couple weeks you get on the map yep and it's good i mean level the dc fast chargers the level three chargers are really more appropriate for that location um than than level two chargers level two chargers uh what we would see it would be seen in the electric vehicle that can't make its distance by range part during the day charging while they pride a less efficient vehicle to boston for their meeting um you know so if anything was going to change the change having more fast chargers rather than medium chargers is better for that place jeff can i ask a question do you know if these chargers charge all electric vehicles including teslas uh no no um i suspect that they are going to have a ccs charging and the teslas have adapters that can be utilized the adapters are are rapidly becoming a solution for okay what kind of charging type you have but this is a gmp project not a not specifically a rochester project so they're making that kind of determination as to what what plug it up with them um excuse me could i ask you a question jeff um this year planning to have this demonstration coming up uh demonstration day in june or july for the electric vehicle charging station you said but you talked about having the demo demonstration maybe on the park but where exactly is the state it's charging station um that's is that down on the lions club park or where is that going to be the park and ride at the park and ride across from the lions club park would be able to say it across from the fire station okay across from the fire station okay yeah thank you sorry to interrupt no problem all right thank you um we have some um folks in rob you came in to give us a little update on your research what what have you got for us so uh i want i guess what we can have two weeks ago i went to my first meeting of the grandville first responders board uh rochester and hancock recently had board members added to that and i'm the rochester guy and suddenly came out of that which i think is pretty interesting and uh this will be the first public announcement of the project although it's just the beginning of the project um dan sergeant who's a who's a captain of both the grandville fire department and the grandville first responders was at the meeting together with matthew perishes the administrator of worva the white river valley ambiles people uh charles piso's a training officer there and a theodore smith ted smith uh who's a captain at the grandville fire department so anyway most of the discussion uh was about the um a plan to establish a working transport ambulance on this side of the mountain that would work in coordination with uh worva even to and including meeting them halfway well whatever means people could be transported from this side of the valley overdue to the hospital uh in randall fastest uh as most people know there used to be a service like this here in the past uh his feeling was that right now the grandville first responders have most of the hardware that you would put in an ambulance uh they have a number of drivers who could drive the ambulance and they're thinking to get a new truck and they're thinking that instead of getting a similar sort of crash truck like they have now they would get a an ambulance capable of transport uh and then fill up whatever the missing holes in the equipment were but that's and he thinks that's not a big deal that the basically the hardware you and the ambulance used ambulance uh the big deal is the people the personnel volunteers who would who would staff this um and he thinks and the worva guys thought this was probably a two-year process to get to the point where such a service would be in place um the the costs that would be involved they don't know yet because they really don't have a budget uh the one thing that was mentioned was a concern over bylaws that are either uh rochester fire department bylaws or town bylaws i'm not sure which but the restrict uh firemen working in two different towns and there's a lot of pretty reasonable reasons to restrict that you know people show up from a fire and they're from you know what what who do you take orders from what's your job so there's reasons that i understand for the fire department thing his point is that the grandville first responders even though they're part of the grandville fire department they're separate financially separate and separate administratively as much as you can be in a tiny you know outfit like that so he would hope that uh in order to help with this with a problem of personnel that this bylaw could be reexamined and maybe you could break loose some people from uh because it's a small valley from from our town to to work over with those guys too the assumption is that they would house the ambulance there in grandville um training is a big deal um and of course the number of bodies but actually the number of people I have there is volunteers going up i think up to 20 20 now which is really good so this is not this is the beginning of something and and there's a lot of you could argue in many ways whether or not it's really worth whatever it's going to be to have an ambulance on this side of the valley it's a volunteer service just like a fire department so they don't you know they're not there all the time although depending on the number of people you had you could staff it you know you could staff it up um but there there are costs associated with there would be there would be costs associated with there's no doubt about it how those costs would be paid for who would pay for them you know we don't know yet this is something that Dan I think has put a lot of research a lot of of work into it and all and the folks from wordville were pretty positive about it I think they were cautiously positive because it's not easy to do this I mean we know we had one here before but it would mean you would for for somebody that had a health crisis or an automobile accident or something on this side of the valley uh that was really critical and you really needed that time and I've been in a situation in my life where I've barely made it to the emergency room so it's not a joke when you're the guy in the you know uh anyway I won't go on uh Martha if you have any further questions you can send me an email or something uh but this is the first kind of public announcement of the intention to do this and that's the end of my presentation thank you I appreciate you taking on that um very good correspondence and working with them um Susie did you have something that you wanted to talk about oh yeah I just have a couple of questions I was hoping Terry was going to be here because I've spoken with him in the past um there there's water coming into my basement and um all through the drought it continued and uh Terry did come in and he had some kind of testing device that he said would pick up water flow in the pipe um and he didn't pick up any but he said that he was going to and I'll follow up with Terry um but I just want to preface this with somebody who has more advanced equipment that would come in and see if there's leakage somewhere if there's a leak from the town I've had I've had three different contractors strongly urge me to contact the town as to whether or not that that's the problem in the southwest corner of my basement I went down there just before I came over the soil is so wet that you pick it up and squeeze it and the moisture comes out there's no runoff from the road the only runoff that my house has is from my roof um and as I said it's been wet for the last 20 years that I've been there so um like one of my questions is you know as I said I'll talk to Terry to see if he can we can revisit this and he can get in touch with whoever it was he was thinking of getting in touch with and then where does the responsibility fall in terms of of of figuring it out I mean I I don't know what I don't know what to do other than talking to Terry and now I'm here talking to you about it because it's seeming more and more like that's what's going on um because there's no place else for the water to be coming from well it could be an underground spring down to I mean we have that issue right down by the town garage if you drive down to go over the bridge to river brook just right in the middle of the road there's a running stream that comes out of there in the spring and no one knows where it's coming from it's just from the ground um but it could that be determined somehow well I would think that for Terry's point of view we just look and see if there's any leakage anywhere as far if we can detect any leakage from our system and and alleviate that issue but I would say it's probably just a ground thing and everything basement or you call Mike there or whatever it is oh you know I understand that it's just that I don't know what else because it's it's it's it's really wet where the water where the water water comes in and then where the sewage pipe comes in that area is wet as well it may be just tracking the pipes into your house too that could be the water runs along the pipes yeah would flow follow the pipe because it's just a natural occurrence that it would have a channel would make a channel where your pipe is okay that's a that's a normal thing but if there's leakage there they should be able to detect that yeah if it has the the people with more sophisticated equipment to to hear or to eliminate it or diagnose it okay I have three uh some pumps in the hardware that tend to work not uh 24-7 but year-round they kick in when we have there's a lot of roof on the hardware yeah and when we have heavy rains we will get water into the basement of the hardware because we have basically a stone foundation underneath that hardware so water finds its way in we have three some pumps in the basement that right they'll kick on in august if we get enough rain yeah yeah okay so so just get back in touch with terry and he can he can just do whatever needs to be done and he'll communicate with you guys or yeah we can follow up with that too I mean we can talk to terry about it see where he stands and they go from there because if they do bring this better equipment then I think they should really take a close look down by the town garage too because it's like it's just like a stream running out of it yeah those are out of the middle of the road yeah but it dries up I guess during the summer I don't ever remember seeing that but boy it runs right down the road my last question is that where the where the water the main water pipe comes in from the road into the basement it's like a cave kind of thing like there's no wall there was that the builder the original builders or when the water when the water comes in who does that the homeowner the town or should I concrete that closed I mean is it a stone foundation or is it report concrete it's concrete the whole foundation is concrete yeah so that they would probably made a little wooden form over where those lines are going to come in and then over time that would might have rotted away you know to to to leave an opening to put the pipes you know but it shouldn't be a big opening it's a big opening it's a big opening I don't know I mean is it but it's concrete that's falling away I believe so I mean I don't know if there was anything there ever because I wasn't around okay all right all right I mean yeah I'm just trying to gather information I'll track them down thank you I'm really curious though if your kitty's still outside waiting for you got anyone online that has anything they'd like to talk about tonight just the other thing we have the part of the trees we did acquire that grant for uh five thousand with a matching side of it for another five so making it a ten thousand dollar enterprise for us we uh Nancy Lois and myself took a trip to Moncton to look at the trees and we purchased six trees with the grant they're all two and a half to three inches in diameter I don't do you have the the type of trees they are do you one's a sycamore I remember sycamore and a hornbeam a hornbeam okay and and they'll will be wanting to put those in the ground within a couple of weeks I'd like to do it by the end of next week before they get solidly leaved out it's recommended that we do that and I think Doug Duvall is going to be here this weekend and he can sort of look at how to site them the placement we're we're thinking probably from Bethel mountain road over through towards Nancy's house would be the first set because these are to replace those ash trees that are that are have to be dead within three or four to five years so these were recommended by the the arborist up there the owner of the the nursery which is a wholesale outlet it's not they're not open to retail but this is really an interesting little trip we took there and so we'll be looking for volunteers with some machinery and try to get the holes dug and and the trees planted and then after that we'd like to before the end of the month before Memorial Day we would like to put mulch around all the other trees that are on the park we've arranged to get the purchase of of whatever yardage of material we need but we'll be looking to get some volunteers together to just you know come up for a day and do some shoveling and we'll get a few people with equipment that can run the mulch back and forth and just you know bruise it up a little bit to keep the mowers away from the base of the trees and try to protect that a little bit and the mulch will probably last maybe two years at the most but you know it'll at least help alleviate and then maybe in the future we can look to maybe up it a little bit more we won't have to put so much mulch but just enhance it a little bit whether we do it ourselves or more contracted out will be a lot less so well maybe when they're they come through um trimming around power lines and they are looking for we could um that stuff is usually pretty gnarly yeah it's got all kinds of stuff in it so i wouldn't i wouldn't suggest that we're looking at a dark mix that colton can provide to us um excuse me frank um you are looking for volunteers to help with the the work planting the trees and doing the mulch and everything should i mention that if someone wants to volunteer should they call the town office should they call you how or should they just show up or do you have a date in time or yes um if they're interested in helping in it with any of that they can give their name to julie at the town office and we'll keep a list and and then we'll let them know they can leave their email address or we can or the phone number and we can let them know what our time frame is what exact times we have so we haven't established those yet i think we're just waiting just to kind of and then we'll have to have maintenance in the summer months too they're going to require watering yeah where with the water is here okay thank you where with the water company is there a the fire hydrant we'll get big tanks and well you won't need a big tank there's only six trees so whatever if you use a five gallon paliper tree once every three days or whatever they recommend we do i've got a little 65 gallon tank that i use for my sap in the spring and you it can be used for this during the summer and it can go in a little trailer and we can go right out and and hitch it on a lawn mower and then just feed it that way that's exciting so are you going to leave the ash trees or they're we're going to see how they survive i mean there's no telling that they'll actually die we don't know um it was recommended by the the natural resources group and the parks and rec people that said these trees are just the type that the ash bore will get because they're in the open and they're susceptible to that so we're just trying to do a pre planting so that we if we do have to lose them we've got something in place going forward and they survive they're they're still not yeah that's what we're that's what we're trying to figure out where we should plant them without taking up all the open space either you know one of the problems is they are all the same species and so if something happens we potentially will lose all of those ash trees so once one gets at the rest of them well go go like dominoes so we've got six that we bought this year and we're starting from the beffa mountain road makes more sense going towards park road because there's less trees there there's more competition that if we go down towards the the park house there's the trees there's more trees there that are closer so we may not have to put so many in reserve but that's exciting and all the all the big trees are ash trees that's all just on the outside coming down park road yeah those are all ash green ash so most of them all of them are green ash there's two 50 years ago when they planted them that's what they did they don't recommend planting like that any any longer not one species yeah so and then they they also looked at all the trees the natural resources inventory dollar trees that are there there's 49 that are there and we have the condition of every one of those trees yeah so they were really helpful and they were good with the grant as far as they helped us get through that part of it and they were really excited that we were taking a step forward and trying to preserve that area even the arborist said you know I come down here sometimes I just want to go over and sit on the on the park house porch he said because I think I want to go there when I get grazes I love looking at that park so he comes over from Moncton and passes through here on occasion so he's familiar with our park which is nice to hear you know it's a good thing to hear all right Tony about I don't know a year or so ago some guy was here talking about giving trees to the town yeah do that happen along the river there on the edge of the on the edge of the river there because we lost a big butternut I think a couple other trees up there so we had to put a bunch up there no I'd like to get rid of the ones that are there all right um if no one has anything else I'd like to talk about I'd move to adjourn my second all in favor all right thank you all thank you thank you
