  1. Luncheon comprised two lovely meals.

    I had jacket potato with home made chilli and cheese.

    The veritable @druid had a plateful of saintly things like flatbread, aubergine purée and beetroot 114 ways.

    Such fun!

  2. #Trefynwy #Monmouth was nice today. Do pay it a visit if you can and support the independent shops as they recover from the recent devastating floods. There's free parking until the end of December.

  3. If you what to lend a bit of help to the victims of the #monmouth floods, the mayor has set up a fundraising page. We're going to shake buckets and rattle tins at our Monmouth Choral Society concert on Saturday. justgiving.com/crowdfunding/mo

  13. #MonmothME #resists! #Monmouth #police department withdraws #ICE training application

    Residents packed the Monmouth Board of Selectmen meeting Wednesday to speak out against the town's police department taking on the role of enforcing federal #immigration laws.

    by Emily Duggan, Kennebec Journal, April 17, 2025

    MONMOUTH — "After dozens of residents voiced opposition, the police department has withdrawn its application for the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement program that allows local law enforcement agencies to work with the federal agency to enforce federal immigration laws.

    "Police Chief Paul Ferland said he was seeking the training so his officers would know what to do if they come across people who are in the United States illegally.

    "In the past year or so, Monmouth officers have called the U.S. Border Patrol about a dozen times, each time with questions about legal rights, when to detain someone and how to not violate someone’s constitutional rights.

    "Each instance can take hours, Ferland said, as officers wait for federal agents to arrive from wherever they are stationed. Once the agents arrive, they check for the person’s immigration status and whether they may have an upcoming court date. If not, the officers can issue a date.

    "The southwest Kennebec County town is home to a number of businesses, including #agricultural businesses that employ #migrant workers.

    "Ferland announced the department’s withdrawal from the program Wednesday at the town’s Board of Selectmen meeting, which was packed with residents both in person and on Zoom who turned out mostly to speak against the move.

    "Because Ferland is also the chief of the Winthrop Police Department, that town is also withdrawing, he said.
    " 'When I saw how this is dividing the community, it’s not what I want. It’s not what our officers want. Our community is our community, it’s our home. The officers love their community, and we are not here to divide it. That is one of the reasons why I pulled the application. Not the only, but the biggest,' Ferland said.

    "Following an executive order signed by President Donald #Trump, police departments from 38 states have applied to be a part of ICE’s 287 (g) program, including the #WellsPoliceDepartment, which according to Immigrations and Customs Enforcement data is the only #Maine police agency that is currently taking part."
